[01:31] <RoadRunner> having 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?
[01:47] <RoadRunner> problems connecting new printer to xub 16.04; printer troubleshooter says CUPS service isn't running. Where do I find 'Services' to start it?
[02:08] <RoadRunner> anybody in?
[02:09] <well_laid_lawn> RoadRunner:  generally there's people about
[02:09] <well_laid_lawn> but not everyone can answer every uestion
[02:10] <RoadRunner> well_laid_lawn: do you know where Services are hiding?
[02:12] <well_laid_lawn> RoadRunner:  serices are handled by systemd
[02:13] <well_laid_lawn> !systemd
[02:13] <well_laid_lawn> the second link has info for controlling services
[02:17] <RoadRunner> thank you, had a quick look through; is the only way to deal with this through terminal - no convinient GUI app?
[02:19] <well_laid_lawn> RoadRunner:  afaik no gui for services
[02:19] <well_laid_lawn> it is pretty straight forward though
[02:21] <RoadRunner> when 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?
[02:22] <well_laid_lawn> I nevver use a printer so I can't say
[02:22] <well_laid_lawn> but enabling and starting the cups service should be an easy start to sorting that out
[02:23] <well_laid_lawn> !printing
[02:29] <RoadRunner> thank you :)
[02:29] <well_laid_lawn> luck
[02:39] <RoadRunner> well_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.
[02:41] <well_laid_lawn> youu have to enable a service before starting it
[02:41] <RoadRunner> ah
[02:41] <well_laid_lawn> did you follow the printing links above ?
[02:47] <RoadRunner> not 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 directory
[03:09] <RoadRunner> well_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'?
[03:10] <RoadRunner> *will it...
[03:12] <well_laid_lawn> RoadRunner:  I was afk. you might have to install cups - Lie I said I don't use a printer
[03:12] <well_laid_lawn> maybe someone else can help with that in a bit
[03:16] <RoadRunner> thanks 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 there
[03:17] <RoadRunner> just suprprised it wasn't installed during the original install automaticaly...
[03:19] <kryten> I'd check for "cups" though, "Lie" was just a misspelled "Like"..
[03:20] <kryten> And fwiw, Xubuntu 16.04 is end-of-life for about a year now.
[03:21] <RoadRunner> kryten: "Lie" lol - stupid me :) and yes I'll be transitioning to 20 when it becomes available.
[03:26] <Bashing-om> RoadRunner: 20.04 is up for testing now: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2020-April/004948.html
[03:30] <RoadRunner> Bashing-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 service
[03:31] <Bashing-om> RoadRunner: Not too up on what it takes to enable printing, sorry :(
[03:32] <RoadRunner> kryten: any suggestions on what may be preventing me from enabling cups?

[11:21] <MoogusShow> Hullo. 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.
[11:27] <Unit193> Technically there could be slight differences between if you installed now and installed with the final, but...Not dramatic.
[11:28] <MoogusShow> But, I won't have to install the official release, I can just keep updating, right? Sorry for the very basic question.
[11:30] <Unit193> Yeah.
[11:31] <MoogusShow> Thank you. :-[

[19:15] <Gunstick> greetings. 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] <Gunstick> tried to set up grub, wiith no effect
[19:16] <Gunstick> it is an full disk encrypted lvm
[19:37] <xu-help8w> i use xubuntu, i wanted to know can i transfer files from windows 10 to this xubuntu. if possible pls help/guidethrogh ethernet cable
[19:39] <Gunstick> for m above problem, trying this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/844132/how-to-repair-boot-on-luks-encrypted-harddrive
[19:39] <Gunstick> xubuntu can mount windows shares. that's probably the easiest way
[19:39] <xu-help8w> how to setup
[19:40] <Gunstick> xu-help8w: that on xubuntu the File Manager
[19:40] <Gunstick> I cannot tell you how to set up windows to do a file share.
[19:41] <xu-help8w> pls help i am novice
[19:41] <Gunstick> maybe someone else can help but best idea is to ask in a windows group how to create a share on your network.
[19:43] <xu-help8w> windows share if i do can i view it in xubuntu
[19:43] <Gunstick> yes
[19:44] <xu-help8w> in which forum i need to ask for setup of windows share
[19:45] <Gunstick> The last time I installed a windows was in 1995, so sorry
[19:46] <xu-help8w> ....
[19:47] <xu-help8w> xUbuntu to xubuntu can it be possible
[19:47] <xu-help8w> i mean both the pcs same od
[19:48] <xu-help8w> os
[19:49] <Gunstick> yes
[19:57] <Hamilton> Gunstick, What exactly do you want?
[19:58] <Hamilton> Do you want to for example share a directory over local WiFi network so files are accessible on browsers?
[19:58] <Gunstick> It is not me but xu-help8w who wants that
[19:58] <Gunstick> (I am still working on solving my kernel panic with grub)
[20:00] <Gunstick> lol, now it wants to boot from the live-install I used to reconfigure grub!
[20:36] <Gunstick> I 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-missing
