 one have see the bad to know what's good. (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <wxl> not in linux??? how could you!)
[00:34] <wxl> fair enough :)
[09:08] <calisto> hi
[09:09] <calisto> So basically if i have any issues regarding lubuntu setup, I can ask it here right?
 Thanky again @HMollerCl  🙂 (re @HMollerCl: I'm not sure, I'm not in linux right now, thelinux spotify forum is this https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/bd-p/desktop_linux)
[13:14] <AIBL> Could someone program/code .. or suggest a program, which would beep if the computer/pc/laptop is on idle  ....  letting the user to switch off the idle pc/computer/laptop ?.  power management  allows to dim out screen  or  go into sleep or hibernate.. it doesn't have notification or beeper  option, so if one is away  from the laptop, you might as well forget.. and leave it on for long time.
[13:18] <AIBL>  I don't know any ,  it would be much better for  prime OS distributions like debian/ubuntu/fedora/suse, rather than their derivatives to develop/distribute them inbuilt in the platform..  just an opinion
[15:30] <Mekkra87> Hello
[15:30] <Mekkra87> I'm having troubles installing Lubuntu OS on a PC. Can anyone help me?
 What are the troubles you're facing? (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <Mekkra87> I'm having troubles installing Lubuntu OS on a PC. Can anyone help me?)
[18:50] <dragon2> does anyone use libre writer?
[18:50] <dragon2> I get these encrypted documents in Office Word, and I try to do the same in libre
[19:02] <Maik> dragon2: not a lubuntu specific support question but a libreoffice one. Maybe try at #libreoffice
[19:02] <dragon2> I have, but there isn`t much activity over there
[19:02] <Maik> here either
[19:03] <kc2bez[m]> There is an option when you save the document.
[19:04] <dragon2> there are two tag off squares, one for password and one for GPG encryption
[19:04] <dragon2> I just don`t get anywhere
[19:06] <dragon2> ...ohh, it works..
[19:43] <dragon2> when you search around your own computer for documents or anything really, you either open up from f.ex. libre writer. or you go to "computer"
[19:44] <dragon2> is there away about things from the start menu?
[19:45] <dragon2> I find  the applications in office of couse
[20:14] <wxl[m]> Huh?
[20:57] <sp4> ciao
[20:57] <sp4> hi
[20:57] <sp4> I have any problem about my vsftpd
[20:57] <kc2bez[m]> o/
[20:58] <sp4> can you help me kc2bez[m] ?
 ask your question first
 if you have a problem you have to explain what your problem is first.
[20:59] <sp4> my vsftpd haven't the open port number 21
[20:59] <sp4> if i get nmap 192.168.0.102 i have the 21 port closed
[21:00] <sp4> jaron !
[21:00] <kc2bez[m]> What does `systemctl status vsftpd` show you sp4:
[21:01] <sp4>  vsftpd.service - vsftpd FTP server
[21:01] <sp4>      Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/vsftpd.service; enabled; ve>
[21:01] <sp4>      Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2021-02-21 21:53:5>
[21:01] <sp4>    Main PID: 2693 (code=exited, status=2)
[21:01] <sp4> feb 21 21:53:51 mulo systemd[1]: Starting vsftpd FTP server...
[21:01] <sp4> feb 21 21:53:51 mulo systemd[1]: Started vsftpd FTP server.
[21:03] <kc2bez[m]> It is a little tough to read there a paste would be better next time. It doesn't look like vsftpd is running.
[21:03] <kc2bez[m]> !paste
[21:04] <kc2bez[m]> try `systemctl start vsftpd` so you can see what is happening.
[21:05] <sp4> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BRJHqfv9Zb/
 use systemctl -l status vsftpd
[21:06] <sp4> It say nothing
 put the output on pastebin
 because the error output is being truncated
 *reminds kc2bez to always append -l to the list of args to systemctl when calling the status command*
[21:07] <kc2bez[m]> Thanks teward
[21:07] <sp4> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/9c2fjzXDnY/
 you sure that's systemctl -l status vsftpd?  Because that > at the end of the lines indicates there's an error generated but the lines are truncated
[21:10] <sp4> yes i m sure
[21:11] <sp4> what do you think kc2bez ?
[21:12] <sp4> maybe depend about the iptables  ?
[21:12] <kc2bez[m]> I think we are missing some of the info,
[21:12] <sp4> I putted a rules about iptable and ftp
[21:12] <kc2bez[m]> It doesn't look like it is running though
[21:12] <sp4> 21 port
[21:13] <kc2bez[m]> You can look at what ports are utilized `lsof -i`
[21:13] <sp4> it's not running
 vsftpd isn't running
 that's why it's not listening on the port
[21:14] <kc2bez[m]> ^
 do me a favor, run cat /lib/systemd/system/vsftpd.service | grep ExecStart and provide the output
 because that'll get us the command you can run yourself that'll run the vsftpd process and *get* us the error codes
 and any error messages not shown here by systemctl
[21:15] <sp4> nmap 192.168.0.102
 don't care about the nmap output
 we know the prov,em is because vsftpd isn't running
[21:15] <sp4> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Cq2vJTvxvK/
 nmap will only show 'open' if a service is listening there
 ;)
 run this, get us the output from it (use paste.ubuntu.com again): `cat /lib/systemd/system/vsftpd.service | grep ExecStart`
 without the backticks.
 (stupid chat bridge >.<)
[21:16] <kc2bez[m]> Agreed here
[21:17] <sp4> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cGV4MqPBTG/
[21:19] <teward> now run: `sudo /usr/sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd.conf`
[21:19] <teward> put ALL output in a pastebin
[21:19] <teward> THIS will get us all the output and error code data
[21:19] <teward> (this is teward001 from the telgram side of the bridge, I'm on IRC for another reason now heh)
[21:22] <sp4> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/485rnbMzKt/
 there's your problem
 you have an incorrect configuration
[21:22] <sp4> ok lobot
[21:22] <sp4> what do you suggesrt ?
[21:23] <sp4> i try to modify vsftpd.conf
 edit your /etc/vsftpd.conf, find the offending line that says connect_from_port_21, put a # before it, and then start the service with the same command I gave you, see if there's any errors this time
[21:25] <sp4> I made that you said
[21:25] <sp4> and restart the service with systemctl restart vsftpd
[21:25] <sp4> nothing error
[21:26] <sp4> so right
[21:26] <sp4> it gone right
[21:27] <kc2bez[m]> `systemctl -l status vsftpd` says it is running?
 it won't kc2bez
 because i had them manually start it
 hit ctrl+c
 then run sudo systemctl start vsftpd
[21:27] <sp4> yes kc2bez
 and make sure that port 21 is up :)
 anyways, there you go, if you're up and running it's solved.
[21:27] <sp4> i made nmap 192.168.0.102 and port 21 is open
 simple configuration problem :0
[21:28] <kc2bez[m]> Enjoy sp4:
[21:29] <sp4> thank you
[21:55] <sp4> hi
[21:55] <sp4> my /etc/vftpd.conf
[21:57] <sp4> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BzJYHf5kJh/
[21:57] <sp4> i had a problem in the login
[21:57] <sp4> with ftp
[21:57] <sp4> nobody can help me
 you may want to visit the #ubuntu-server channel
 this is the Lubuntu support channel, and server-centric issues are better suited for #ubuntu-server
[22:03] <teward> sp4: you should probably ask this in #ubuntu-server unless this is an Lubuntu issue.  vsftpd is fairly outside the purview of *most* of the Lubuntu support people :P
[22:03] <sp4> I have lubuntu
[22:03] <sp4> not ubuntu
[22:04] <teward> as a member of the server team, i'm suggesting you get help with vsftpd from #ubuntu-server because vsftpd is a *server* software, not an Lubuntu piece of software, and requires a different knowledgeset,
[22:04] <teward> lubuntu or not, vsftpd is likely to get better support from #ubuntu-server than #lubuntu
[22:04] <teward> since i can name maybe 4 people here who know vsftpd enough, versus the larger server team where vsftpd and other questions come up regularly
[22:04] <teward> (THIS SAID, I suggest not using vsftpd for transferring files, FTP is an insecure protocol)
[22:05] <sp4> don't matter about the indsicure protocol because I haven't to put vsftpd in the internet
[22:05] <teward> it's an obligatory statement (becuase i'm an IT Security guy too)
[22:06] <teward> but i reiterate: the Lubuntu team doesn't necessarily have the necessary knowledge to troubleshoot vsftpd issues.  The Server Team would.
[22:06] <teward> Ubuntu or not.  (Lubuntu is Ubuntu with the LXQt desktop and a specific set of packages, but the core underlying kernel, etc. is Ubuntu driven.)
[23:08] <guiverc> forgive me, but anyone know an easy/the best "getting involved" page ?
[23:13] <guiverc> maybe that needs to be a page we add; or copy over from wiki (updating it to be current of course); currently everything points to links page; which I don't think is adequate..
 guiverc: yeah there's no good page for it
 should probably have one heh
[23:17] <guiverc> writing that now :)
[23:27] <kc2bez[m]> guiverc @teward001 https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/B/Contributing.html
[23:29] <guiverc> thank you kc2bez[m] , that's the sort of page I was looking for
[23:30] <kc2bez[m]> Yup, sounds good.
[23:34] <guiverc> wiki Lubuntu/GettingInvolved page now has that link too
[23:34] <kc2bez[m]> Excellent! Thanks guiverc
