I use Xubuntu for quite a few years now. I never changed the basic xfce setup.
And I keep reading that (x)Ubuntu defaults to Xorg. And I keep reading solutions for graphics issues that involve editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf
No Xubuntu installation I did ever had a default /etc/X11/xorg.conf, also not 22.04 LTS. It does have /etc/X11/ and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/, but just no xorg.conf file.
Can some please explain why that is?
Has winpdb been removed from the repository in Ubuntu 22.04?
This is what I have and what I want to achieve:
Current Partition Setup Current State Desired State
/dev/sda1 /BIOS
/dev/sda2 / Ubuntu18.04 Ubuntu18.04 I
/dev/sda3 empty none Ubuntu18.04 II
In want to install Ubuntu 18.04 II from my running installation Ubuntu 18.04. I.
What else do I need and how do I do it?
There is a similar question, Is there a program to install Ubuntu from a Linux system? It uses debootstrap and targets minimal Ubuntu systems and text only installs. Its a very complex setup. I am looking for sth saving the time and effort to reboot.
The key point of my question is that I do not want to shut down or reboot my computer.
I want to boot into /dev/sda1 and start an application/a script/single commands or whatever. After that Ubuntu18.04 II should be installed in /dev/sda3. And I am still in my running install on /dev/sda1.
When trying to install Kicad 5.0.2 from PPA, as recommended in 18.04, with:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-5
sudo apt update
sudo apt install kicad
I see strange effects, none of which are discussed at the Launchpad page.
"Help/Getting started" gives an error. It is only available after running sudo apt install kicad-doc-en.
After that install, it will open the file manager with the file marked, but not Firefox as expected. How can I change that? The page opens fine by double-clicking it in the file manager.
The command sudo apt install kicad-libraries should install the symbol-, template- and footprint- libs. It did something, but they did not appear in the program. For example "File/New/Project from Template..." was empty. The templates appeared only after I installed sudo apt install kicad-templates
After sudo apt install kicad-demo they can not be seen anywhere in the GUI. After a search I found them in /usr/share/kicad/demos. Is one really supposed to sudo copy them to the home directory and change all file permissions?
I crosschecked the Windows download for V5.0.3. There, everything installed, fully configured and ready to go. Why not in my Ubuntu? Tests were done on a fresh installation of Xubuntu 18.04.
I can restart my desktop from a console window (Ctrl+Alt+F1) with this command:
sudo service lightdm restart
This will present a fresh login screen and closes all programs running on the desktop. This it not what I want.
I want a command or a script that restarts the desktop from a console while keeping all applications running, so I can access their windows when I get back the desktop screen.
Background
I keep having problems with the desktop blacking out while the computer remains running fine. There are 9,286 posts with "black screen" with different causes. Some with solutions like this, some without. I am working with many Xubuntu computers and had it happen multiple times.
While causes differ, (in my cases) the symptom is often the same. It usually helped to restart lightdm, but I was losing my data and had to restart all applications. Now I had the problem when testing VGA matrix switches. Every time I reconnected my monitor, I had to reset lightdm. So I learned that what I need is a better workaround. Something analogous to restarting explorer.exe with the Windows Task Manager. This solves every hang up of the desktop but does not affect running programs (it basically restarts the desktop).
System: Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit, PC laptop
edit: after the first comment, I adapted the question
When adding a rule in GUFW/Advanced there are three choices for logging. From the man ufw page/sectin LOGGING i learned
As ufw has the log levels (off/low/medium/high/full) its not clear what the mapping is, but it seems sure that everything beside "off" should log all packets that are caught by the rule where log is set.
According to man ufw logging goes into the syslog together with a lot of other suff. So naturally I would expect the GUI Log page to show those log entries.
However, I did not manage to get any packet log entries listed in the Log pane. How can that be done?
I have a Xubunut16.04 install with 16GB RAM and a 20GB enrypted Swap.
When I start a large compilation with
configure
make -j
in a terminal, I can see in the panel load monitor
I can reproduce it every time. I have waited up to 5hrs, but there is no change (it does not revocer). I need to do a hard reset.
I read a lot in the forum and found hints on the Swap and cypttab. From the commands I could check before starting the complilation all is fine.
blkid command and the content of /etc/fstab and etc/cypttab is consistentswap seems to be on
swapon --show
NAME..... TYPE.... SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/sm-0 partition 15.2G 0B ..... -1
Since the PC was Idle USED=0B seems ok. No Idea if PRIO=-1 is OK.
I tried to set the values for vm.min_free_kbyptes and vm.swappiness
sudo nano
vm.swappiness 40
vm.min_free_kbyptes=240000
This is the syslog section of the crash

What can I do? Is this normal that one can crash an Ubuntu installation that easily? Crash it with user privileges?
I installed gnome maps (apt install gnome-maps) on Xubuntu 16.04. It is a great tool and running fine. The only problem is that I do not understand how to use the search function. When I enter a place in the search bar, I get a suggestion list with the correct city and country etc, but whatever I select or type nothing happens.
I would expect when I enter Paris,France and select it from the offered List, to tool centers Paris and put a cursor on it. I can not figure out how to do that. What am I missing?
I had been installing a paravirtualized (PV) guest with Xen on a Logical volume(LV). The installation has seen the LV as a normal hard disk and installed and ext4 and a swap partition on it.
The output of sudo fdisk -l|grep /dev is
Disk /dev/mapper/vg1/lv1: 40GB
/dev/mapper/vg1-lv1-part1 37G 83 Linux
/dev/mapper/vg1-lv1-part2 3 5 Extended
/dev/mapper/vg1-lv1-part3 3 82 swap
I can use fdisk to modify those partitions like that
sudo fdisk -l /dev/mapper/vg1-lv1
But did not manage to mount the partitions anywhere. I tried
sudo mount /dev/mapper/vg1-lv1-part1 /mnt/tmp // special device does not exist
sudo mount /dev/mapper/vg1-lv1 /mnt/tmp // wrong fs type error
sudo mount /dev/vg1/lv1/ /mnt/tmp // wrong fs type error
sudo mount /dev/vg1/lv1/part1 /mnt/tmp // special device does not exist
So how do I mount the /dev/mapper/vg1-lv1-part1 partition to /mnt/tmp?
I noted that apt-mirror does not copy the full repository. I would like to make it copy all of it. Any I idea how that can be done?

Edit: one thing I already found out. To include the debian-installer/ section, add in the mirror.list file
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubunut xenial main main/debian-installer restricted restricted/debian-installer universe multiverse
This works because apt-mirror finds a packages.gz file there. With other folders this does not work, e.g. installer-amd64.
Before downloading PPAs with apt-mirror I need to have the PPA GPG key installed in my key ring, e.g. by using the command
add-apt-repository ppa:something/ppa
After this (and editing mirror.list) apt-mirror downloads the PPA files to a local repository. Apt-mirror does not seem to include the keys into the local archive.
Are the PPA keys also required when installing directly from the lokal (mirrored) repository?
This question is related to this: apt-mirror: can't create /dir:/mirror directory at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 342 But the answer there did not help, because the setup is a bit different.
I need to run apt-mirror to store onto an external USB HDD, NTFS formatted. Running apt-mirror runs into the same error as user Miphix in his post.
As given in the man page I am used
su - apt-mirror -c apt-mirror
and get this error
apt-mirror: can't create /media/usb/apt-mirror/mirror directory at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 342
which is cause by trying to create a directory where there is a directory already.
The answer to run apt mirror as user apt-mirror does not work on an USB HDD with NFTS, because after mounting the drive chown apt-mirror:apt-mirror {dir} does nothing. This is according to Cannot chmode and chown on a ntfs usb drive, because on external USB drives with NTFS there is only a default ownership.I tried changing the mount directory, but it was converted to root:root after the mount.
Since a new download would be 130GB and would take several days, I need to use the existing repostory and just do an update. Also I can not copy it to the local hard drive, because not enough space.
Any ideas?
I looked at many posts about this problem, but I could not find one that solved mine.
After I suspend or sleep my computer, it wakes up. I know because CtrlAltF1 shows me a console. But my desktop screen remains black and is unresponsive.
How can I wake up my desktop from a working console on the same computer?
What I've tried:
set -display $DISPLAY dpms force on did not work, but it did give me unable to open display "". Same thing when I tried to set DISPLAY=:0 manually.sudo sysctrl unlock-session: nothing happenedyour screen is locked. You will be forwarded to the unlock dialog (can't recall the exact wording). But the screen ends up going black again. startx on the F1 console started an empty desktop fine. So in principle, graphics capabilities are there.sudo system lightdm restart wakes that screen with a login dialog. Since it kills all running applications it's not really helping.light-locker and xscreensaver. Never heard of either before, but followed what I read there. So I purged light-locker and installed xscreensaver xscreensaver-data xscreensaver-gl. After I logged in, I was asked to confirm to disable the lightlocker daemon which I did. But the problem remained. Maybe I need to do something else?.Used Systems
After looking at about some 50 posts about web radios I think my issue had not been asked yet.
Do you still know those shabby old transistor radios playing in some corner or window sill in offices or workshops? Their tuning wheels are so bad that nobody ever touches them again once a station had been tuned. Also the volume knob is cracking horribly, so they are plugged in in the mornings and unplugged by the last one leaving the office. That's exactly what I want.
Ideally, this would be a fixed On/Off Icon somewhere in the Panel bar. No window at all. Press it once and the configured web radio stream starts playing. Press again it stops. The radio station is defined by the http address of an m3u file for the stream.
I did not find a app that works like that. I hope I just overlooked the one that exactly fits what I want and you guys can point me to the right one.
Best I found so far was gnome mplayer, but I am not really happy with it.
Its a normal appication. It reduces to a small icon in the panel bar which is good. On/Off is, open the Icon then press Play/Stop - which would be ok. Not OK is that I can't make it to just play the last stream. Every time it starts I need to open File/Open Location and copy&paste the http address of the m3u file from a text file on the drive. It would be OK for me when there is a way to autostart it with the right stream automatically loaded but not playing. I had tried to put the stream address into a file and used "Open Recent". It say "start playing" but then stops. This is how the file looked like.
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1, Web Radio
http://some-webradioaddress.com/streamfile.m3u
So Is there a tool that already does what I want? Is there a way to make mplayer behave like I need? If no, how to achieve that by other means using command line apps and scripts or whatever?
Thanks für your creative input, CatMan

Question
Can I use chroot to
Please comment or answer if you know whether or not that is possible at all. Even when you do not know the exact steps. It would already help me and is a lot better than no answer at all.
Of course more helpful would be a step by step command line procedure to go to B, unmount partition A and how to start the graphical gparted.
What I did
I use nemo file manager on Xubuntu 16.04.
I have connected several network shares. I have also bookmarked them. In nemo I can access all files. When I try to open a file with an application I do get a standard file open dialog that does not have those shares. There is "Other locations" but that only gives the mounted driver. No bookmarks, no network shares.
In essence, I do not know how to open any network file in Xubuntu with an application. Only workaround I see is to copy all files to home, open them there and when done store them back to a network share. I am sure there must be another way. Please help!
PS: I think this is not specific to Xubnutu desktop. Its the same when I select thunar as preferred file manager.
I have newly installed Xubuntu desktop on a computer. I need to work with files on a NAS store (using samba shares). Libre Office can not open them.
After uncommemting X-GIO-NoFuse=true in the config file I do get an error when trying to open the file:
General input/output error while accessing run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=, share=".
/use/share/applications/libroffice-calc.desktop and comment out x-KDE prototocls, but that did not help. The question is Can't open files through the network.I did not try to mount the network share with fstab, since I need to be able to work with temporary shares in the file manager.
Anyone else having that problem? How can I solve that?
Using Xubunutu 16.04, amd64, kernel 4.4.0.-64-generic.
EDIT: rewording to be not "opinion-based" any more.
What command line text editor in the Ubuntu repository has or can be set to allow the following behavior?
If an editor needs be configured to behave like that, it would help to know if you are aware if someone already tried/achieved something like this.
I have a local net with no internet and want to keep all computers in there time synced. I do not care about the absolute time, it should just be the same for all.
I found several posts about this. The most useful ones were:
server
I did setup the server with the IP 192.168.1.123 and it seems to be working ok: The deamon "ntpd" is running and I had been adding in etc/ntp.conf the lines
# this sets the source to local time
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 8
# this makes the ntpd deamon to send out its time on the local net.
broadcast 192.168.255.255
I verified it with the ntpq command:
ntpq -c lpeer
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
192.168.255.255 .BCST. 16 B - 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000
"BCST" says its in broadcast more and the IP shows its broadcasting to all computers on the local net (a B class network, thus 2x 255).
client
On client side I also installed ntp, and used the default /etc/ntp.conf and added the lines
server 192.168.1.123 iburst
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 8
where 192.168.1.123 is the local IP of the server broadcasting and the other line should tell the client (a laptop) to use its own clock when the network connection is off. I restarted the service on the client and ran ntpq to check the connection
ntpq -c lpeer
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
192.168.1.123 .INIT. 16 u 1 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000
LOCAL(0) .LOCL. 8 l 6 64 1 0.000 0.000 0.000
Repeating this command I can see the "when" column counting up both and starting with 0 again when reaching 64sec. I did expect after the 64 sec this would change to this:
ntpq -c lpeer
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
*192.168.1.123 .INIT. 16 u 1 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000
LOCAL(0) .LOCL. 8 l 6 64 1 0.000 0.000 0.000
Note the "*" before the server IP. But it did not. What I got after about 1hr was
ntpq -c lpeer
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
192.168.1.123 .INIT. 16 u 1 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000
*LOCAL(0) .LOCL. 8 l 63 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.000
I think this tells me, there are 2 sources for NTP configured, but as the remote source is not working/not available/whatever it is not used and the fallback case local clock is used, but I am not sure if that interpretation is correct.
what I tried
I waited more than 1hr, I restarted the ntpd serveral times with sudo /etc/init.d/ntp restart and I also rebooted. Further I commented out the local section clock so that the only server was server 192.168.1.123. I could not get that "*" to appear. Also I saw a section in the ntp.conf that said
#if you want to listen to time broadcasts on you local subnet,
#de-comment the next lines. Please do this only if you trust
#everybody on the network!
#disable auth
#broadcastclient
I tried un-commenting and restarting the service but still that star did not appear. I am wondering about the last section, though, because this section did turn up in any other post or internet result that I saw on the ntp configuration. There are several ones on local setups and most seem to be find with the server address alone. Ping from client to server is fine. There is not firewall etc.
question
I am out of ideas. I think I have a server with fully working ntp server which is sending out the time. But I do have a client which is failing to receive the time information from the server.
What can I do to get the client running?
On my command line in Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 , I would like to bind Ctrlup/down to the bash history incremental search function. I found some posts how to do it. They involve the ~/.bashrc and ~/.inputrc files.
Strange characters appearing when I use the Ctrl and Arrow keys to navigate says this works via the .inputrc file in the home directory. Why does ctrl + left arrow not skip words? contains comments about not using .inputrc, about using .zshrc and using .bashrc. I am still too new to not be confused.
I did not have any .inputrc in my fresh server install.
I do not understand those things:
I did not get it to work, too. I tried both copying the file from etc and rename it to .inputrc and also creating a new file in ~/ with:
touch .inputrc
nano .inputrc
The file content:
$include /etc/inputrc
Here is the what I put into the files.
# mappings for Ctrl-left-arrow and Ctrl-right-arrow for word moving
"\e[1;5C": forward-word
"\e[1;5D": backward-word
"\e[5C": forward-word
"\e[5D": backward-word
"\e\e[C": forward-word
"\e\e[D": backward-word
# ctrl up,down
"\e\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e\e[B": history-search-forward
Both do not work, Ctrl key is ignored. CTRLUp/down do not show the search and CTRLleft/right do not skip words. I think it matches the answer of the seconds post.
What could be the problem?
