ahcI have 2 desktop PCs side by side running Ubuntu 20.04. Both connected to internet switch. I want to share a directory on each, with each other.00:07
arraybolt3ahc: as in, have one directory that both of them can see and modify?00:08
ahcIn settings, under Sharing I have enabled files sharing. But don't know how to set up Network.00:08
arraybolt3mmm, I don't know how to use GNOME's file sharing features off the top of my head, someone here might though.00:08
ahcSeems I have to add a Network. So I'm looking at option 2 here https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/setting-a-static-ip-in-ubuntu-linux-ip-address-tutorial/00:09
e1ahc, have you tried syncthing?00:11
ahcThat's adding a Static IP, in Settings Network, add + to Wired. Am I on the right track?00:11
ahce1 I don't know anything about Suncing.00:12
ahcSynching00:12
ahcLooked at Syncthing. I don't want to "sync". Just share a directory between the 2 machines. Must be a native Ubuntu way to do that.00:14
sarnoldahc: "both connected to internet switch" -- are they both corrently able to use a web browser to browse the full internet?00:15
JanCyou can just enable Samba sharing in the file manager, or enable SSH & use an sftp: location in the file manager...00:17
JanCfiles would be on 1 machine but accessible from the other00:18
ahcsarnold Yes, they both connect to a switch which goes to the modem/router. Both internet on the Web fine.00:22
rboxahc: the you dot need t o do anyting special, just connect by ip00:22
rboxor hostname.local because avahi should be working00:23
ahcJanC, Clicking on Windows sharing in File Manager, says Unable to access location, failed to receive share list from server00:24
sarnoldahc: good, then you can ignore all the "how to create a network" things :) sftp://ipaddress/ probably works pretty easy00:26
ahcrbox, so to return to my original question, I've enabled Settings Sharing, but looking at File Manager Other Locations, I am yet to connect to a Network.00:27
tanathcould just do ssh00:27
e1you need to input the ip of the sender machine in the box below that, sftp://00:27
rboxi dont know anytihng about gnoem sharing00:27
ahcI'd rather not ssh or sftp. As I say, there must be a native Ubuntu way to share Public directories, visible vanilla in File Manager.00:30
ahcWindows Network, I can see. But its not set up.00:31
tanathssh is 'native ubunutu', just install openssh and set it up and you can rsync or set up sshfs or whatever00:31
sarnoldwell... sftp is every bit as native as windows file sharing or NFS or openafs or 9p ..00:32
ahcThank you tanath and sarnold. Perhaps there is no way to see shared Directories of the PC next door in File manager. That's a pity.00:33
tanathsamba share would do that00:33
JanCthere is, but you probably need to share a directory first00:34
tanathbut imo, samba share is more of a pain to set up right than ssh00:34
JanCalso, I don't think Samba is installed by default?00:34
tanathand ssh gives you more functionality and security00:35
ahcI like the more security aspect. Always a worry clicking the Share On button.00:36
ahcwith ssh, I'd have to nominate a master and slave machine each time. When I want to pass files backward and forward, so easy in each's File Manager.00:38
tanathif you set up sshfs you can use it in your file manager00:38
JanCthe file manager has built-in SFTP support, no need for sshfs00:38
ahchaven't heard of sshfs - I'll look it up.00:38
tanathwhich file manager?00:39
JanCany one based on Gtk (Gvfs) or KDE (KIO) probably00:39
ahcFiles 3.36.3-stable00:40
JanCso that includes the default one00:40
tanathdefault depends on DE00:40
JanCGnome is the default DE, but I AFAIK all the other ones also support it?00:41
tanaththere is no default DE https://ubuntu.com/desktop/flavours00:42
ahcOK. Well given its opaque as to how to set up File Sharing across 2 machines in Ubuntu 20.04 for quick GUI use in File Manager, and to keep security, looks like I will look at sftp ssh sshfs.00:43
ahcIn File Manager, + Other Locations, clicking on connect to server / enter server address, it reports No recent servers found.00:45
ahcFile manager + Other Locations, can see its own shared folders, only.00:46
tanathhttps://github.com/Tanath/dotfiles/blob/master/sys/ssh.md#references-notes00:48
ahcthanks, T00:48
JanCif you can connect from one computer to the other with ssh, it's as simple as pressing Ctrl+L to show the location bar in the file manager, and type an sftp URL there00:48
JanCI00:49
JanCtanath: I did a quick check & even Lubuntu's file manager uses Gvfs, so I assume it works there too00:50
ahcreading up SSHFS, it seems that might be the way to go. Even though it creates an entry in fstab, sheez.00:53
tanath /shrug i didn't know gvfs suports sftp00:53
tanathfstab is for making it permanent and mount automatically00:53
ahcpresently I'm putting files up on Dropbox, downloading them from the other machine, Lol. Maybe ssh or ftp then. I'm okay at the command line.00:57
tanathterminal is well worth learning. i recommend installing xfce4-terminal and setting a custom shortcut binding `xfce4-terminal --fullscreen --drop-down` to f12, so it's always a button away01:00
tanathand toggleable01:01
JanCprobably best to just use the default terminal to begin with...01:01
tanaththen you can't do that01:01
tanathand the dependencies are light01:02
JanCCtrl+Alt+T pops up a new terminal in the default Desktop (and you can also pin it to the dock, of course)01:03
tanathand the command i gave doesn't pop up a new terminal. it toggles the existing one, with the icon visible in tray01:04
tanathand ctrl+alt+t is a pain to type, but you could change the shortcut. i'm suggesting a way to make it most convenient and easy to access. which also makes you more likely to use the terminal for stuff01:05
leftyfbRunning Ubuntu 22.04. pactl and pacmd only list the active sink as an available sink when I run "pactl list sinks" or "pacmd list-sinks". But from the gnome GUI I can change between all 3. Once I'm changed, the default-sink updates in pactl and pacmd but the other 2 are not options to set-default-sink. Any thoughts?01:07
bparkerwhat about pulsemixer01:10
tanathcorrection: it does pop up a new terminal if it's not already running, but if it is it just shows it. this is better for when you've already been using the terminal and want to go back to it01:10
leftyfbbparker: pulsemixer lets me pick between them all from the Card section01:12
dannnnnI'm using 22.04 on a laptop and just noticed that my trackpad isn't able to click unless i'm in the default gnome windows manager. When i'm at the login screen, or using a tiling window manage (sway using wayland), i'm able to move the cursor but clicking or tapping won't work. Is there a way i can troubleshoot this?01:13
rboxits a settign you need to eanble somewhere01:13
rboxgnome has a hceckbox for it01:13
leftyfbrbox: who are you referring to?01:14
rboxdannnnn01:14
dannnnndoes gnome alter settings for other window managers?01:14
rboxno01:15
sarnoldno, but sometimes they use the same settings, so it might feel like that for specific things01:16
leftyfbbparker: any idea why pulsemixer shows all the outputs as options as card but pactl and pacmd only show the selected output as an available sink?01:17
dannnnnhmm, i'll click around. Its odd because when i log in (using tab to navigate to the login), i'm able to click just fine, it is _only_ when i'm outside of gnome.01:17
rboxyes, when you start gnome, it applies settings01:17
dannnnnDo you happen to know how I can see what configuration files it refers to?01:18
dannnnnI just found the mouse/trackpad settings and they are all enabled01:18
sarnoldgnome does a lot of things with a registry-like blob..01:19
sarnoldI've got this in my ~/.xsession:01:20
sarnoldxinput set-prop "Synaptics TM3289-021" "libinput Accel Speed" 101:20
sarnoldxinput set-prop "Synaptics TM3289-021" "libinput Tapping Enabled" 101:20
dannnnnI've used xorg/xfree86 for years so i'm suspicious that this is an issue with wayland.01:20
sarnoldprobably something similar could help you -- try xinput to find the device names, xinput list-props "name of device" on the thing ..01:21
sarnoldlol wayland apparently has that as a faq https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/1.10.4/tapping.html#tapping_default01:22
dannnnnhah, good find!01:23
dannnnni was suspicious until i read the manpage. I guess jammy does some black magic where it uses x _and_ wayland?01:23
sarnoldboth are available and I don't know how the default is selected, and even once wayland is running, there's still a compatability shim xwayland thing that's running.. I don't really udnerstand it :(01:24
rboxX apps can't connect to wayland01:25
dannnnnyeah, thats the curse of a distro that "just works"01:25
rboxso they have to connect tio soemthgin, hence xwayland01:25
sarnolddannnnn: these gsettings commands might help, your DE might respect them https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/libinput#Touchpad_not_working_in_GNOME  -- there's a few other gui config toolsl isted for ghnome, cinnamon, mate, kde plasma 5, and xfce https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/libinput#Graphical_tools -- but no mention of sway :(01:27
sarnolddannnnn: bingo! https://manpages.debian.org/experimental/sway/sway-input.5.en.html#LIBINPUT_CONFIGURATION01:28

zteamHello, is there a ppa that contains the mainline kernel for recent Ubuntu releases (yes there is a good a reason I need them)17:59
CosmicDJzteam: google? https://9to5linux.com/you-can-now-install-linux-kernel-6-7-on-ubuntu-heres-how18:00
zteamCosmicDJ, Thank you, I specifally Googled for a ppa for Ubuntu mainline kernel, so I'm a bit suprised I missed that one :O18:03
zteamNice find :D18:03
ogra_zteam, you also do not want to use any kernels from the mailine PPA (they are missing 100s of (security) patches, miss a meta-package so they will never update and use the mainline defconfig (which is pretty far from ubuntus config)) ... the mainline ones are really only dfor testing things, not for general usage18:09
ogra_zteam, try this one https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/unstable, thats at least half way there compared to the mainline stuff18:14
zteamogra_, how can they possible be less secure? (shouldn't the latest vanilla kernel be missing secureity-patches or are you talking about patches for specific Ubuntu packages? anyway, Ubuntu has multiple issues for me, I can't power off my machine properly since Ubuntu 22.10, nor does it wake up from suspend (at least one of these issues is related to the nivida driver18:16

bparkeralmost every machine I have ever tried to use wifi on under linux has had massive problems, either with performance, reliability or both19:14
bparkerover decades19:14
swansoneSame honestly, but I had no issues with this one for over a year before deciding to upgrade ubuntu versions. I'm hoping this was just a little blip, but of all the things that can go wrong with a laptop, losing wifi is one of the most frustrating19:15
swansonethat's like, the whole point of the laptop for me19:15
swansoneIn any case, I deeply appreciate the help ioria and zteam19:15

jeremy31I have used Ubuntu, Mint and Windows ISOs without issue23:02
toddchttps://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-desktop oficial guide to install ubuntu to a usb drive23:39
sarnoldthat's installing *using* a usb disk, not installing *to* a usb disk23:42
tanathbparker: that's weird. i've tried many distros and a variety of editions with ventoy and they almost all worked. maybe you used it a long time ago and it improved? they're always improving and adding more support23:44
tanathonly one i could find issues with lately is fedora23:45
