hello, i'm wondering why ubuntu sometimes takes so long to connect to wireless network whereas android, or windows can easily and quicly reconnect to same network. For example if i try to reconnect to wireless in ubuntu i'm at first a few times disconnected before connection succeeds and this can last up to 10minutes and sometimes doesnt manage to connect at all
Fooster 2017-01-30 01:47:45

bongjovi 2017-01-30 01:48:47
k1l_: thanks very much, was able to install nginx successfully
Fooster 2017-01-30 01:48:49

k1l_ 2017-01-30 01:48:59
bongjovi: np
Fooster 2017-01-30 01:49:10

HoloIRCUser 2017-01-30 01:50:03
Hello all
ppf 2017-01-30 01:50:11
Fooster: add it and try again?
Fooster 2017-01-30 01:50:14
ppf: thx, that fixes it. So on another machine I faked it out by creating a fake script. Can I force the package to rebuild with the correct one?
ppf 2017-01-30 01:50:53
try apt install --reinstall
Fooster 2017-01-30 01:51:59
apt-get install --reinstall -y linux-image-extra-4.4.0-59-generic seems to work
Fooster 2017-01-30 01:52:03
ppf: thx

HoloIRCUser 2017-01-30 01:53:37

HoloIRCUser 2017-01-30 01:53:45

k1l_ 2017-01-30 01:54:29
!webmin | HoloIRCUser
ubottu 2017-01-30 01:54:29
HoloIRCUser: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.
HoloIRCUser 2017-01-30 01:55:15
But why urbackup also removed and data.
HoloIRCUser 2017-01-30 01:56:03
Ubottu
k1l_ 2017-01-30 01:56:03
HoloIRCUser: we cant know what webmin does why.
HoloIRCUser 2017-01-30 01:56:19
Okay
HoloIRCUser 2017-01-30 01:56:55

ppf 2017-01-30 01:58:33
is that a WM feature?
ppf 2017-01-30 01:59:21
or can i do that through X?
ppf 2017-01-30 01:59:48
('cause this is a kiosk-type system running matchbox)
HoloIRCUser 2017-01-30 01:59:55
Can anyone tell me alternative of webmin for Ubuntu
HoloIRCUser 2017-01-30 02:00:00

anddam 2017-01-30 02:01:21

k1l_ 2017-01-30 02:01:54
HoloIRCUser: there are not really any. some projects have own ones but they dont share them. most admins use the cli to manage servers.
HoloIRCUser 2017-01-30 02:04:22
Is Ubuntu support cli
HoloIRCUser 2017-01-30 02:05:38
Okay it is command line interface

ikevin 2017-01-30 02:08:16
HoloIRCUser, in my case, using Nemo, i just need to right click on a directory and go to "share options" menu

ppf 2017-01-30 02:13:19

ikevin 2017-01-30 02:13:24
HoloIRCUser, iirc, webmin provide a samba module
xenop 2017-01-30 02:14:11
html5
ppf 2017-01-30 02:15:46
the documentation of evdev events is surprisingly sparse
ikevin 2017-01-30 02:17:45
xenop, try with midori
ikevin 2017-01-30 02:18:04
xenop, firefox is a browser that need a lot of ressources
