[16:49] <xubuntu0w> Hi, how can I stop xubuntu from automatically connecting to the internet on startup?
[16:50] <xubuntu0w> It only has a wired connection.
[16:52] <diogenes_> disable networking.
[17:03] <rafobr> Hey. Sorry to bother you guys. Just installed xubuntu after a while using lubuntu. all fine except my cursor seems to 'left-click' by itself. i.e. i'm typing in a doc and suddenly the typing cursor changes to position where the mouse pointer is. tried searching online but no working solution so far. thx in advance for your help
[17:25] <diogenes_> rafobr, how old if PC?
[18:42] <rafobr> hey diogenes_ it is quite old, an ASUS k56c , but i had no problem on L/Ubuntu. what i found was this option to disable touchpad while typing. I'm still trying to figure out if it was the problem.
[18:44] <diogenes_> rafobr, if you enabled that and the bad behavior stopped, then that's it.
[19:00] <rafobr> thx diogenes_ :)
[19:10] <Priem19> Hey, about the wallpaper contest. Are the submission already being curated?
[19:11] <Priem19> Because my upload doesn't seem to show up. So I'm wondering if the photo is too bad, or my browser is blocking a successful upload
[22:29] <get43> helo
[22:30] <get43> I just try to install xubuntu via PXE. No problem to connect laptop to the network when booting on lan, installation work fine.
[22:31] <get43> After reboot, the computer start well but I don't have any network.
[22:32] <get43> ip a show the 3 interfaces : lo, enp11s0, wlp2s0
[22:32] <get43> I got 127.0.0.1 for enp11s0, but nothing for 2 others.
[22:34] <get43> I'm on xubuntu 18.04
[22:35] <get43> What do I miss ?
[22:40] <get43> When I went to the Network Manager (top right), I can see that network is active, but I also got the message "Ethernet network unmanaged device"
[22:44] <get43> It's OK now, the file /etc/network/interfaces contains 2 lines for interface enp11s0, I had commented those and restart network-manager.service and the problem is solved.
[22:53] <tomreyn> get43: hmm, weird, /etc/network/interfaces should only contain two lines about the loopback interface normally.
[22:54] <genii> The netboot image might have had some d-i thing to make one
[22:55] <genii> get43: Did you use some preseed file?
[23:07] <get43> genii: not yet, preseed file is the next step.
[23:09] <genii> hm
[23:10] <get43> tomreyn: yes it's what I had read.
[23:11] <get43> I have 3 computers to reinstall, perhaps 4. So this installation must help me to generate the preseed file.
[23:11] <get43> The preseed file is like the kickstart for CentOS, am I right ?
[23:12] <genii> Similar idea, yes
[23:13] <tomreyn> pressed will likely be replaced by a new mechanism with 20.04 LTS though
[23:13] <tomreyn> *preseed
[23:13] <get43> So I confirm, no specific preseed yet.
[23:14] <tomreyn> so you pxe booted what exactly, and did you then install manually?
[23:14] <get43> But I have a standard directory from ISO with 3 files :
[23:14] <get43> cli.seed  ltsp.seed  xubuntu.seed
[23:15] <get43> tomreyn: I pxe booted xubuntu 18.04, with casper initrd and vmlinuz.
[23:16] <get43> And then click on install xubuntu 18.04 icon on the desktop.
[23:17] <get43> I made no specific choice, all packages installed from standard and partitionning with default choice.
[23:18] <tomreyn> okay so you pxe booted the standard xubuntu desktop installer (not debian-installer)
[23:18] <get43> Oh, I change language for french and azerty.
[23:18] <get43> Yes
[23:19] <tomreyn> did you configure internet access while on the live / installer system?
[23:20] <tomreyn> and if so, for wireless or wired or both (and in which order)?
[23:22] <tomreyn> actually, i'll head to bed now, good luck!
[23:22] <get43> It ask me for only one kind of connection during installation. I think it was for wireless, but it didn't ask me for SSID, but I just see that I haven't turn wifi on
[23:22] <get43> material switch
[23:24] <get43> It is ok now, but I don't understand why I had those 2 "bogus" lines
[23:25] <get43> And as I will install other computer with the distro I want to be sure everything is ok.
[23:42] <xubuntu0w> How do I disable networking at startup so the computer doesn't connect to the internet when I start?
[23:46] <well_laid_lawn> xubuntu0w:  you can disable the systemd networking service
