RoadRunnerhaving problems connecting a printer to xub 16.04; troubleshooter says  'The CUPS print spooler does not appear to be running. To correct this, choose System>Administration>Services'. Where is that?01:31
RoadRunnerproblems connecting new printer to xub 16.04; printer troubleshooter says CUPS service isn't running. Where do I find 'Services' to start it?01:47
RoadRunneranybody in?02:08
well_laid_lawnRoadRunner:  generally there's people about02:09
well_laid_lawnbut not everyone can answer every uestion02:09
RoadRunnerwell_laid_lawn: do you know where Services are hiding?02:10
well_laid_lawnRoadRunner:  serices are handled by systemd02:12
well_laid_lawn!systemd02:13
ubottusystemd is the default init system for Ubuntu 15.04 onwards. For information on transitioning from upstart to systemd, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers For a guide to basic service management with systemd, see https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-systemctl-to-manage-systemd-services-and-units02:13
well_laid_lawnthe second link has info for controlling services02:13
RoadRunnerthank you, had a quick look through; is the only way to deal with this through terminal - no convinient GUI app?02:17
well_laid_lawnRoadRunner:  afaik no gui for services02:19
well_laid_lawnit is pretty straight forward though02:19
RoadRunnerwhen I set up my xub 16.04 box, no printer was connected to it; perhaps that's why the needed service was disabled? on a new install with a connected printer, is the printer usually automaticaly set up without additional action by users?02:21
well_laid_lawnI nevver use a printer so I can't say02:22
well_laid_lawnbut enabling and starting the cups service should be an easy start to sorting that out02:22
well_laid_lawn!printing02:23
ubottuPrinting in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu02:23
RoadRunnerthank you :)02:29
well_laid_lawnluck02:29
RoadRunnerwell_laid_lawn: hmm, not much luck so far... to: 'sudo systemctl start cups.service' get 'Failed to start cups.service: Unit cups.service not found.02:39
well_laid_lawnyouu have to enable a service before starting it02:41
RoadRunnerah02:41
well_laid_lawndid you follow the printing links above ?02:41
RoadRunnernot yet, just your second link so far; but regarding enabling: to 'sudo systemctl enable cups.service' get 'Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory02:47
RoadRunnerwell_laid_lawn: went through all of the links you suggested; my printer: brother hl-2040 was described by one user as working with xub 10  and both a driver and an install tool are available from Brother. But will do me any good if I can't enable 'cups'?03:09
RoadRunner*will it...03:10
well_laid_lawnRoadRunner:  I was afk. you might have to install cups - Lie I said I don't use a printer03:12
well_laid_lawnmaybe someone else can help with that in a bit03:12
RoadRunnerthanks anyway :); cups -Lie is full name of the package? Synaptic tells me I don't have it installed, so I gess I'll grab it from there03:16
RoadRunnerjust suprprised it wasn't installed during the original install automaticaly...03:17
krytenI'd check for "cups" though, "Lie" was just a misspelled "Like"..03:19
krytenAnd fwiw, Xubuntu 16.04 is end-of-life for about a year now.03:20
RoadRunnerkryten: "Lie" lol - stupid me :) and yes I'll be transitioning to 20 when it becomes available.03:21
Bashing-omRoadRunner: 20.04 is up for testing now: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2020-April/004948.html03:26
RoadRunnerBashing-om: 20.04 is bleeding edge now; for now I just want to print with what I have and according to Synaptic I do have some cups stuff installed yet can't seem to enable that service03:30
Bashing-omRoadRunner: Not too up on what it takes to enable printing, sorry :(03:31
RoadRunnerkryten: any suggestions on what may be preventing me from enabling cups?03:32

MoogusShowHullo. Is there a difference between installing the 20.04 daily now and waiting until the official release? I have used the daily on a virtual machine, but I want to go ahead and install it for real.11:21
Unit193Technically there could be slight differences between if you installed now and installed with the final, but...Not dramatic.11:27
MoogusShowBut, I won't have to install the official release, I can just keep updating, right? Sorry for the very basic question.11:28
Unit193Yeah.11:30
MoogusShowThank you. :-[11:31

Gunstickgreetings. 2 days ago I was here about lz4 in mkinitrd, well my repair did not work. system is unbootable. kernel panic "unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)"19:15
Gunsticktried to set up grub, wiith no effect19:15
Gunstickit is an full disk encrypted lvm19:16
xu-help8wi use xubuntu, i wanted to know can i transfer files from windows 10 to this xubuntu. if possible pls help/guidethrogh ethernet cable19:37
Gunstickfor m above problem, trying this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/844132/how-to-repair-boot-on-luks-encrypted-harddrive19:39
Gunstickxubuntu can mount windows shares. that's probably the easiest way19:39
xu-help8whow to setup19:39
Gunstickxu-help8w: that on xubuntu the File Manager19:40
GunstickI cannot tell you how to set up windows to do a file share.19:40
xu-help8wpls help i am novice19:41
Gunstickmaybe someone else can help but best idea is to ask in a windows group how to create a share on your network.19:41
xu-help8wwindows share if i do can i view it in xubuntu19:43
Gunstickyes19:43
xu-help8win which forum i need to ask for setup of windows share19:44
GunstickThe last time I installed a windows was in 1995, so sorry19:45
xu-help8w....19:46
xu-help8wxUbuntu to xubuntu can it be possible19:47
xu-help8wi mean both the pcs same od19:47
xu-help8wos19:48
Gunstickyes19:49
HamiltonGunstick, What exactly do you want?19:57
HamiltonDo you want to for example share a directory over local WiFi network so files are accessible on browsers?19:58
GunstickIt is not me but xu-help8w who wants that19:58
Gunstick(I am still working on solving my kernel panic with grub)19:58
Gunsticklol, now it wants to boot from the live-install I used to reconfigure grub!20:00
GunstickI guess this is my issue: no cryptsetup in initramfs, despite root being encrypted. why isn't cryptsetup by default copied to initramfs if there is an issue to make it work reliably? https://askubuntu.com/questions/381624/lvm-on-encrypted-partition-drops-me-to-initramfs-root-missing20:36
