I have been debugging a wifi problem I have had for the past several days. Would anyone here be able to help me out and determine what the root cause of the problem is? [04:54] I have a post about my adventure on AskUbuntu: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1330803/usb-device-0cf39271-qualcomm-atheros-communications-ar9271-802-11n-drops-wi [04:55] The summary so far is that the nonce wpa_supplicant uses during the 4-way handshake is different from what the router uses, but the nonce is different in only 2 bit positions.

Have others had problems with EFI booting?

[09:00] i understand it is because of spam, but requiring users to register their nick before being able to join this channel is quite a hurdle when looking for help, especially when using the installer and you dont have your nickserv password at hand. [09:01] whatever, heres my question. how to quicklz set the kezboard lazout? [09:02] :) [09:02] theres this menu at the right top but theres onlz english variants. [09:03] whz not include the most common languages in there? [09:03] or even a menu entrz @choose kezboard lazout@ [09:03] SkitsVicious: gotto settings>region & languages [09:03] add your language [09:04] no waz to do it from the console? [09:04] without restarting mz x session? [09:05] ofc i can find out how to do it in a gui. but this is linux rightl... xD [09:05] SkitsVicious: https://superuser.com/a/973296/291544 [09:06] awesome! [09:06] setxkbmap de [09:06] that did it, kbd-utils is installed already with the live env. [09:06] thanks. [09:07] here's my actual question: when i do df -h, none of my m.2 disks are listed. what do i have to insmod or so to make linux see them? [09:11] hmm... apparently ~1020 of 1060 are people in here are looking for help, rather than answering questions to newbs xD [09:11] SkitsVicious: u need to mount them... no modules should be required to load. and u wanna use modprobe for loading modules... not insmod [09:12] oh df only shows mounted fs? [09:12] stupipd me. of course it does. [09:12] then... how do i list disks in system? [09:12] SkitsVicious: yes... and here are a lot of ppl wanting to help. but not everbody is actively listening at all times [09:12] like "lsblkdev" or something [09:13] TheBigK02, sure sir, i wasn't complaining at all, just wondering ;) [09:13] SkitsVicious: lsblk is a start... but im not sure if that lists only mounted as well [09:13] perfect [09:13] no that does it, thanks. [09:13] SkitsVicious: no problem :) [09:14] hmm [09:15] apt-get install cfdisk says unable to locate package - i guess i have to choose a mirror first and do an apt-get update? [09:15] !info cfdisk [09:15] Package cfdisk does not exist in focal [09:15] SkitsVicious: its apt install fdisk [09:16] that includes cfdisk [09:16] util-linux is already the newest version (2.36-3ubuntu1).

[09:19] SkitsVicious: shred is a good util ... that should be installed [09:20] i really only want to clear out all boot record kind of information from the disk [09:20] SkitsVicious: and u dont need to overwrite the whole disk for that purpose. just a few MB at the beginning [09:20] like i said "for a few seconds" [09:20] cfdisk can do the trick for u. doesnt it? [09:20] or fdisk for that matter [09:21] if u wanna use dd then u coudl do dd if=/dev/zero of=/urdisk bs=1M count=10 ... that should be sufficient [09:21] but be careful. then u rly shred ur partition table with that... wrong device... and ur screwed :) [09:24] yeah, thanks :) it's *never* a bad idea to make that remark whenever dd and a noob is involved xD [09:24] i'm done, thanks for your friendly support :) have a nice one. [09:24] SkitsVicious: i did that to a fileserver raid device... to try to write to a tape drive ... SCSI... long time ago [09:25] but that was ... the scariest things i did ever wrong [09:32] hi guys [10:00] Do you need to do something special to get more than 8 SATA devices on Ubuntu? I have 8 connected to my motherboard, and 1 connected via a PCIe adapter card. No matter what I do, a few minutes into boot I get the following kernel error messages on dmesg: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mWrzxPVwDs/ [10:00] This setup worked fine in Windows 10 for many months. I'm only encountering this when switching to ubuntu. [10:02] i'm trying to reboot using systemctl kexec, but it's doing a full reboot instead.

[11:05] i didn't even start the installation, all i did was use the live environment. [11:06] SkitsVicious, it does? that's weird... [11:06] yes. [11:06] should i try to reproduce it?

I set PasswordAuthentication to no, and restarted the ssh service. now, when I ssh from another computer to the server, ssh me@myserver.com, it asks for a password, and if I enter the password for that account it still logs me in. but it is also on the computer where I have the pub key setup it uses the key. so is this supposed to happen? [11:32] I thought that no password prompt would show, or take a password login anymore. [11:36] nevermind. I just rebooted the server and it is working like it should. wierd that restarting the service didn't make the new changes take === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [12:00] My iMac booting problem after `do-release-upgrade -d` seems to have been secureboot. purging GRUB2 and reinstalling using boot-repair with secureboot disabled now allows me to boot again. Not sure how that got turned on during do-release-upgrade [12:05] hmmm yeah jimt secureboot worries me a lot, it's on this HP that runs ubuntu. [12:06] well it's off, but.. at least I've got a proper bios screen where I can switch it off tho, macs are tricky [12:07] i dont think secureboot is something to worry about. u just need to be aware of it :) [12:09] Is it supported on any Macs? Is my 2012-ish iMac just too old? [12:11] afaik secure boot is something that was pretty early implemented into macs... but may be its propitary ... === facetus_malum4 is now known as facetus_malum [12:18] Hi folks [12:18] hi BluesKaj [12:19] hi nicoz === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [12:28] Hello all, I'm trying to print multiple copies on an Ubuntu system. When the paper roll has ended, the jobs from the printer queue is automatically getting removed. Is this because of default cups configuration ? Any help is highly appreciated. [12:34] Basic kernel config question. Why does /boot/config-5.8.0-50-generic set CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y? I see that /usr/src/linux-headers-5.8.0-50-generic/.config does *not* set CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO. [12:57] My query may be answered by a (hopefully still relevant) wiki page, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild. "We compile our kernels with debug symbols to create the debug packages. In our build process, we strip the debug symbols from the modules in the main package." [13:24] My new monitor Asus VP249QGR 23.8 supports 144hz refresh rate but I don't see that in xrandr. a) how can I be sure which resolution I am at b) how can I make it 144 etc? [14:10] https://termbin.com/dy5e [14:10] mind is dp-0 [14:16] I cannot access an external USB disk [14:17] "This location could not be displayed" [14:18] the disk is acessible trough /media/my-user/disk [14:18] however, for /media/my-user only root has access === MalkbabY_ is now known as MalkbabY [14:26] zen_coder: I'm guessing the fs on the usb disk supports permissions, and my-user does not have permission. [14:40] morning! When I use 'su ' my command prompt reverts to just a $ and autocompletes dont work, color is misssing, etc. I tried copying my .bashrc to that users home folder but that doesnt seem to work. What am I missing? [14:40] ExcessiveAggro: Try "sudo -u -i" for a nicer experience. [14:41] ExcessiveAggro: "su - " might also help. [14:41] Either way, on Ubuntu, pretty sure the recommendation is sudo. [14:42] I tried those and they still result in a single $ and none of the autocompletes and colors work [14:42] Does that user have a home with skeleton? [14:42] unless i was trying to get to ROOT... but I'mn trying to just get to a non root user [14:42] How was it created/ [14:42] Guessing you've likely just got no bashrc/profile etc. in there then. [14:42] good question -= let me see what i used to create it [14:43] ExcessiveAggro: See what's in their home. (Which user is it? Not a built in system user?) [14:43] You can look at /etc/skel (use ls -a, the files are .'d and hidden) to see what you can copy over into the new user directory. [14:44] ExcessiveAggro: Guessing you might have used useradd? In future, use adduser. Stupid, I know. [14:44] might have - trying to find the guide i used [14:44] If it's not quicker to delete user and recreate, copying contents of /etc/skel will likely fix that immediate issue. [14:44] whats the best way to completely remove the user? [14:45] and their home? [14:45] yeah, in debian and ubuntu yu should always use adduser to create users, since that sets distro defaults while useradd does not [14:45] like dash instead of bash [14:45] (default groups, skeleton templates, config files etc) [14:46] on it - one sec [14:46] If you ever forget in the future, `man useradd` gives a little warning at the top. [14:48] that worked! [14:48] thanks i removed the user, re-added, all is well [14:49] the userdel command will delete a user https://xkcd.com/215/ [14:49] yep i used the -r also to get rid of the home dir [14:56] Heya, i have several "web-apps" i am running from a *.desktop file with exec=chromium --new-window --app=https://... and i would prefer my gnome desktop to handle those as seperate applications - and not group them together with all my other browsers - how can i achieve that ? [15:02] is it true that no matter what i do, I cannot get 144hz on HDMI? despite https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrandr#Adding_undetected_resolutions ? [15:13] Intelo: You'll probably need to to send links to what you've tested on Ubuntu, errors etc, what you've done, what packges you've installed [15:15] Intelo: Plus what version of Ubuntu [15:16] from the link you gave, archlinux wouldn't be supported as we don't don't the differences between that and Ubuntu [15:17] I have several "web-apps" i am running from a *.desktop file with exec=chromium --new-window --app=https://... and i would prefer my gnome desktop to handle those as seperate applications - and not group them together with all my other browsers - how can i achieve that ?

[15:58] ioria, thanks so much !!! i made everything work now <3 [16:04] hi folks. i'm helping a project containerize. their app is using an old version of R, which they can't/won't upgrade for whatever reason. i can get their app working in a container if i compile R. i'm wondering about the option of creating a deb package for it instead but i've never done that. [16:04] i'm wondering how feasible it would be to create a deb for it and whether i'd still end up with dependency problems if i tried to use the deb [16:07] jamiejackson, i have really no clue what i am talking about here cuz i have never done anything deb related. But from what i understand - that the deb package is just a binary of the program with a list of dependancies noted with in it - which is "pulled" from the system - so when the system already has a newer R installed - at least in my worldview that means that i won't downgrade R and it wont work [16:08] jamiejackson, from my understanding using snap, flatpack or appimage is what you are looking for in terms of having a complete application in a container [16:11] DJones: leftyfb When someone says "144hz will work if you have a new version of HDMI" what does that mean? HDMI version of monitor? HDMI cable version? HDMI port version of laptop/PC? [16:13] Intelo: https://www.cablematters.com/blog/HDMI/does-hdmi-support-144hz [16:24] ptah: do not PM me please [16:27] leftyfb: whats my hdmi version? https://termbin.com/zknk [16:41] oh hai [16:41] has anyone here used ddrescue a lot [16:41] I have The Precision™ M4700 & M6700 incorporates HDMI version 1.4. Features. 144hz is supported on 1.3 and above but I do not get 144hz resolution on Asus VP249QGR 23.8 . How can i debug? [16:41] ? I'm trying to figure out if output can be optioned to a minimum [16:42] right now i'm getting at least some 20 lines of text with it. [17:47] hello. just got a nvme and did a fresh install of 20.04 on it. But in grub menu, the win installation on one of the ssds won't list. how could one fix that? I can boot into the windows SSD if I choose so from bios [17:56] I'm new to Ubuntu and tying to figure how to install a package version available on 21.04 but not on 20.04? wlroots and sway for example [17:58] you can download deb file and install it using dpkg -i [17:58] mrkubax10: awesome thank you! [17:59] but I may not work sometimes when package depends on packages that are not available [17:59] ggnoredo: 21.04 isn't supported here as of yet. Only the stable releases mentioned in the topc are. [17:59] *it [18:00] i could have also misunderstood the question. if so sorry, mt bad [18:00] mt/my [18:01] yeah, he wants to install a 21.04 package on 20.04. basically there should be no difference (just do dpkg -i) but there may be a reason it is not available in 20.04 repos, like if it needs a dependency that is not available... [18:01] it's not recommended to install debs from a newer version onto 20.04 because it can cause breakage, missing dependencies and stuff [18:01] !latest [18:01] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [18:02] Thank you all for the answers [18:02] yw [18:03] @ggnoredo is the package missing or you need a newer version than what's available in standard repo? [18:03] I need newer version [18:03] why? [18:04] there is an issue on wlroots/sway which breaks dropdown menu on Firefox [18:04] it's fixed on the version 20.04 hasn't got yet [18:04] may we ask what is the package? [18:04] report a bug on that ggnoredo [18:05] according to git issue, it's on wlroots package [18:05] i will do it now [18:05] ggnoredo: is it something that was installed from outside the ubuntu repo's? [18:06] no, everything is from official ppa on my pc at the moment [18:07] everything you add, from outside the official ubuntu repo's, including PPA'a is at own risk. [18:07] but he said that is from official repo [18:08] official repos is kinda also at your own risk:-) but check if there is a ppa. then ponder if it seems like a reliable PPA... [18:09] now he mentions PPA mrkubax10 [18:09] repo's and PPA's are different things [18:11] so anyway, anybody dare to suggest some solution to windows not getting picked up into grub menu? [18:12] Can anyone help with line 3? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RFScFqY8jZ/ [18:17] what is it that you want help with/ [18:17] your screen doesn't support 144 hz vertical. you can't force hardware. [18:18] one last question, should i apt remove sway before dpkg -i newer package or i can install on top of it like an update? [18:19] somejr: do you have os-prober installed? [18:20] os-prober, ntfs-3g, dosfstools [18:21] ggnoredo: no, but you should use apt install the .deb file. But also, you should use packages from repos or PPA's and not just downloaded filed [18:22] kevr: yes, it seems to be installed [18:23] somejr: is windows installed on another drive than your grub is? [18:23] in that case, you will need to chainload over specifically. [18:23] kevr: yes [18:23] yeah. [18:23] os-prober will only pick up oses that it can find on the same drive as your grub install, if you're using grub [18:23] ohhh [18:24] so you'll need to chainload over to windows efi stub on your other drive [18:25] chainload? doesnt ring a bell... is it a command or I need to mount the win partition or? [18:25] somejr: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/277373/is-it-possible-to-use-grub-to-run-an-efi-binary [18:26] see the chainloader answer. [18:27] kevr: how do you know my screen does not support 144z? [18:27] because i'm a magician [18:28] kevr: to recap for you: My new monitor Asus VP249QGR 23.8 supports 144hz refresh rate but I don't see that in xrandr. a) how can I be sure which resolution I am at b) how can I make it 144 etc? [18:29] kevr: The sample you linked contain a line "set root='(hd0,gpt1)'"... do you know it one could use a uuid instead? [18:29] there's a clear issue with linux understanding your monitor's EDID with X/xrandr [18:29] need to resolve that before anything's going to work out. [18:30] normally, it would pick up the monitors modes properly and display them to you, and allow you to switch between them [18:30] *if one... [18:30] xrandr/x seems to not understand the monitor's specs properly. [18:30] somejr: i believe you can use uuid. [18:31] UUID=, but i haven't tried it out myself. [18:31] so, don't trust me [18:32] Intelo: if X doesn't understand your monitor, you throwing commands at it with things it doesn't consider part of the monitor is not going to work out nicely. [18:32] X will complain because it does not believe your monitor can run at that mode. [18:32] is this really the easiest way to use a bluetooth headset for zoom? https://zambrovski.medium.com/using-bluetooth-headset-on-ubuntu-790ce6eecc2 [18:32] i have heard before of people just creating custom modes, but i'm not sure how well that works for refresh rates that x doesn't see [18:33] somejr: are you using hdmi? [18:33] if you have a display port cable, i would give that a shot and see if you get different results. [18:33] (if you haven't yet) [18:33] seems like you are using DP though; hence DP-0. === JanC_ is now known as JanC [18:37] File /etc/grub.d/40_custom prepared, update_grub performed, now booting, wish me luck!

But is is always mounting as read only. Ideas? [18:41] what's your fstab say [18:41] `/etc/fstab` [18:42] asking me? [18:42] is there an entry for the mounted device? [18:42] yeah [18:42] just a sec [18:43] and by partition, are you talking about an actual physical disk's partition? or is this something like a loop device for isos? [18:44] kevr: Actual filesystem partition. And what information did oyu want? the info for that us MASSIVE will take me forever to type. [18:45] Shadow_Wizard: use a pastebin service [18:45] kevr: okay, gimme a few [18:45] Shadow_Wizard: example: `echo test | nc termbin.com 9999` will upload 'test' as a paste to termbin.com [18:46] I will work on getting you screenshots.. [18:46] * kevr would prefer pastes [18:46] I will try.. [18:47] Shadow_Wizard: `cat /etc/fstab | nc termbin.com 9999` should do it. [18:47] 9v9t [18:48] https://termbin.com/9v9t [18:48] thank you! [18:48] That wasn't as hard as I thought ;) [18:49] Shadow_Wizard: which /dev file are you trying to mount? [18:50] kevr: Sorry, I don't think I understand the question. [18:50] when you type in mount, there is a source device that you mount to a target location [18:50] what exactly is the source device in your case? [18:50] `mount ` [18:50] Oh, let me look. [18:50] ots /dev/sdb2 [18:51] can you hook me up with a paste of `ls -al /dev/disk/by-id | nc termbin.com 9999` [18:51] please? :) [18:52] tkzl7 [18:52] kevr: using hdmi v1.4 [18:52] Shadow_Wizard: in your /etc/fstab, there is an entry in there for the device you are trying to mount. [18:53] the bottom-most entry. [18:53] okay? [18:53] what about it? [18:53] if the device itself is fine, the options and setup there is most likely screwing things up. [18:53] if i were you, comment that out and try to mount it somewhere [18:53] see if you get the same issue? [18:53] Wonderful. How do I fix it? [18:53] (the /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Mass_... line) [18:54] kevr: I suspect I will.. I have gotten it on other linux machines, but I will try. [18:54] can you write to it on anything? [18:55] Nope [18:55] Always told it is mounted as read only. [18:55] so how are you certain that drive can even be written to? [18:55] it could be erroneous, causing it to remount as ro. [18:55] which is a common thing that can happen. [18:56] kevr: I just wrote it using rufus. It is a linux for a rasberry pi. [18:56] so writing did work [18:56] using Rufus, on which operating system? [18:57] Wrote on windows.. But I think I may have found a way... I think its working... [18:57] actually... [18:57] how exactly did you burn the pi sd card? [18:58] verbose command? [18:58] oh, sorry. yeah.. windows. [18:58] hmm [18:58] No, I opened rufus. Shows it the image, told it what drige to use, and clicked start.. [18:58] But I seem to be writing it ot now [18:58] here's a bit of a tip for you [18:58] the raspberry pi image actually holds all the information for multiple partitions inside of it [18:59] to properly burn that, you need to write the entire thing to the whole block device [18:59] not a partition [18:59] like /dev/sdb, or /dev/mmcblk0 [18:59] it will copy over the partition data stored in the image. [18:59] Oh, yea. I did. But it creates a boot partition, and then a rootfs partition. I want to access the rootfs partition [18:59] but you have access to it [18:59] you just can't write to it [18:59] So, I found MY problem.. I was using nano as user, and not as root. When I used sudo nano it worked. [19:00] ...didn't mount tell you it was mounting as read-only? [19:01] i'd be surprised if you could write if it was mounted as read-only. [19:05] i fail to boot to windows (not that I want to boot into it, but sometimes I need to) [19:07] according to fdisk -l the windows disk has msdos partition table and contains 3 partitions (sda1 500M, sda2 222G, sda3 531M) [19:08] i hope to write a menuentry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom but what should I put there? [19:09] oh [19:09] that's a problem [19:09] which version of windows do you have installed? [19:11] somejr: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/Chain_002dloading.html [19:11] make sure you use the proper hdN,N for your setup [19:11] the last answer on stackexchange was for a gpt-driven windows install. [19:11] It is windows 10 but unsure if it was originally 8.1 or even 7... (might have been upgraded) [19:11] which uses EFI [19:12] but your setup does not use EFI. [19:12] this one just shows chainloading to another partition, which should work fine for msdos format [19:13] somejr: there's also this: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/DOS_002fWindows.html#DOS_002fWindows [19:14] yeah, figured it is something like that. can you use search for specifying boot part with msdos? [19:15] the second to last link i posted to you is that example [19:15] https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/Chain_002dloading.html [19:16] cheers, will test! [19:16] Hello everyone. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on how I can enable "screen sharing" aka vnc using Vino through the command line. I figured out how to set the nic for vnc to listen on, but can't figure out how to enable it using gsettings. [19:24] br34k: which ubuntu release are you running there? [19:25] So, I have been fighting with tutorials for a couple of hours now... And I still can't get this to connect to wifi. Anyone care to help? I basically need to edit the files on the PI to connect to wifi before putting the card in the PI. [19:26] br34k: and which desktop? the default gnome one? bugs 1871351 and 1775999 *may* be relevant [19:26] bug 1775999 in vino (Ubuntu) "Cannot set vino preferences in Lubuntu 18.04" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1775999 [19:26] bug 1871351 in gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) "Review the vino/screen sharing situation" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1871351 [19:26] ubuntu 20.04.2, thanks [19:27] yes default gnome [19:28] to clarify, I can set screen sharing to be enabled though the settings GUI, that's fine. But I've deployed numerous ubuntu boxes and have the need to enable it through the CLI so I don't have to physically be there [19:31] br34k: can you run gsettings list-schemas | grep remote and see whether that gives you a "remote_settings" schema? [19:31] Basically what I need to know is what files need to be edited to get linux to automatically connect to wifi, and what to put in them. [19:33] I got this output: [19:33] org.gnome.rhythmbox.plugins.webremote [19:33] org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.remote-display [19:34] On Mac laptops there is this feature where you swipe in from the right edge with two fingers and it opens up a menu with a bunch of widgets. Is there anything like that for ubuntu? [19:34] btw ptah is sending spam messages [19:35] its not spam i need someone to help with this [19:35] What's weird is that I tried using gsettings monitor to both org.gnome.Vino and org.gnome.Vinagre and switched it through the GUI, no output appeared while monitoring [19:35] ptah: we told you to stop with that [19:36] br34k: hmm, that's not what i was thinking. you can try just starting /usr/lib/vino/vino-server [19:36] haijuno: in private messages? [19:36] Maik, yes [19:36] Something about editing a wikipedia link [19:37] haijuno: report it to the ops please [19:37] Ok [19:37] he's been on that since a week [19:37] <_Sym_> yeah same here [19:37] ok, i'll inform the ops [19:37] Yea, i got it to. [19:39] _Sym_: you too? [19:39] <_Sym_> yes [19:39] Shadow_Wizard, haijuno, _Sym_: can you please *PM* me with the spam? [19:39] <_Sym_> i closed it [19:39] <_Sym_> something about editing a wiki [19:39] <_Sym_> for iran [19:39] Yeah I closed it and blocked him/her/it [19:40] yep, he posted that in various channels last week too [19:40] hello [19:41] hi jess [19:41] s/tatus [19:41] oops [19:41] hi Maik how are you doing [19:42] i'm ok thanks, but since this is a support channel i want to keep casual talke in discuss or offtopic :) [19:46] haijuno: about your question: i think multi-touch isn't actually enabled by default. so my guess is this does not exist. but i may be wrong. and you may be able to add it. [19:47] tomreyn, do you know of any good guides to customize gnome other than using the tweaks app? [19:48] haijuno: i guess gnome shell extensions are meant to provide the answer to this question. they also tend to break things. [19:49] Hmmm ok I'll check them out. Thanks tomreyn [19:49] I'm trying to start vnc using this method but it complains "cannot open display" : export DISPLAY=:0 && /usr/lib/vino/vino-server [19:49] haijuno: good luck [19:50] br34k, what is :0? [19:51] https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/193939 [19:51] haijuno, ^^ [19:51] br34k, Oh didn't know about that. I thought maybe that was the issue [19:52] :) [19:53] br34k: w -hs | awk '{print $3}' | sort -u [19:53] ...should give you a lit of active displays [19:53] i get ":0" [19:54] and my lan ip address [19:54] then either you ssh server or client has X forwarding disabled, i guess [19:54] or both ;-) [19:54] I really didn't think it would be this difficult to start vino over ssh [19:54] tomreyn, I get the same result as br34k when I run that command [19:55] haijuno: thanks for letting me know. [19:57] IMO it makes the most sense to do it through gsettings considering the switch is within the settings gui, but i'm assuming that functionality wasn't written in?? [19:58] br34k: you'd need X11Forwarding yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (on system running the X server) and ssh -X server.that.runs.x [19:58] let me try from the actual machine [19:59] i do not know the answer to your latest question (still on 18.04 here) [20:00]
