[19:11] <cool_skeleton_95> I got a ubuntu flavor on a virtual machine in VirtualBox but the resolution is tiny, is there any way to increase it? I have tried doing some internet searches but they have not worked (probably because I'm quite new to this)
[19:21] <teward> cool_skeleton_95: install the vbox guest additions in the vm
[19:21] <teward> it'll provide drivers, etc. to use almost any other resolution you can configure in there
[19:21] <teward> most of the ones that're better than the tiny ones too ;)
[19:22] <cool_skeleton_95> I think I have successfully installed box guest additions, run the code, and restarted, do I simply change the resolution from the display settings?
[19:24] <lubot> <teward001> yup
[19:25] <cool_skeleton_95> when I do that, it simply resets to the default resolution
[19:30] <cool_skeleton_95> Wait, I got it to work. Thanks so much for your help!
[19:31] <lubot> <teward001> yup
[21:25] <arl90pitt> anyone know where I can download a clean sources.list file for Bionic Beaver? Mine seems to be corrupted or something, returns an error using sudo apt update
[21:30] <kc2bez> arl90pitt: Take a look at this AskUbuntu post https://askubuntu.com/questions/443036/what-is-the-correct-output-of-cat-etc-apt-sources-list
[21:31] <kc2bez> I think that will get you what you need.
[21:31] <arl90pitt> Thanks!
[21:31] <kc2bez> np, happy to help.
[23:34] <likeafox> Hi. In the file manager when I click connect to remote server, why does it not give the option for samba connection type?
[23:41] <likeafox> either after I installed smbclient or cifs-utils, I was able to type a smb:// url in the location bar to access a server, but still not seeing it in connect to server dialog, hm.
[23:42] <likeafox> I guess I solved my original problem but I might forget this is how I access samba shares since there's no interface for it
[23:42] <kc2bez> You can select network from the shortcuts on the left as well.
[23:43] <kc2bez> It is also possible to create bookmarks.
[23:43] <likeafox> I noticed that one but I think it's only for the local subnet and not neighboring subnets
[23:43] <likeafox> bookmark is a good idea
