| ypcity | I tried to install the new version of PCmanFM, but the new version won't open: it says it can't find "libfm-gtk.so.3", which is located in /usr/local/lib, and I linked it to /usr/lib but no luck | 03:32 |
|---|---|---|
| ypcity | where should I link "libfm-gtk.so.3" so that I can run PCmanFM again? | 03:35 |
| Unit193 | How did you try to update PCManFM? | 03:37 |
| ypcity | downloaded the source, and compiled/make'd installed | 03:40 |
| ypcity | I even linked "libfm-gtk.so.3" to /usr/local/bin, where the binary resides, and it still doesn't work -_- atleast the old version is still at /usr/bin if I can't get this to work | 03:41 |
| Unit193 | It's highly recommended to stick to stuff from the repo, but my guess is that you didn't compile libfm? | 03:42 |
| Unit193 | You read the readme file? | 03:42 |
| ypcity | I did, I downloaded the source for that too, and had to install a bunch of other packages to for it work | 03:43 |
| ypcity | like I said, "libfm-gtk.so.3" is located in /usr/local/lib | 03:43 |
| Unit193 | As it should be, yep. | 03:44 |
| ypcity | *for it to compile | 03:44 |
| ypcity | should I send an email to PCman? | 03:44 |
| Unit193 | Or is it by chance expecting it to be in /usr/lib/ ? | 03:44 |
| ypcity | I linked it to /usr/lib but no luck | 03:45 |
| Unit193 | I'd say try running an strace. :P (And yeah, my bad on reading...) | 03:45 |
| ypcity | hmm, what a useful command... ill try it out | 03:47 |
| ypcity | what is going on here?! | 03:49 |
| ypcity | from strace: open("/usr/lib/libfm-gtk.so.3", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) | 03:49 |
| ypcity | so I copy the path, and try "ls /usr/lib/libfm-gtk.so.3", and it can find it ok... | 03:51 |
| ypcity | maybe ill try linking it to "/lib/libfm-gtk.so.3"? it looked for it there too... | 03:52 |
| ypcity | Unit193: you got any ideas? :/ | 03:54 |
| ypcity | LuvLinuxOS: you mind trying to help me? | 03:54 |
| Unit193 | Type file /usr/lib/libfm-gtk.so.3, but I haven't compiled pcmanfm. | 03:54 |
| LuvLinuxOS | Hi | 03:55 |
| ypcity | well well well... "/usr/lib/libfm-gtk.so.3: broken symbolic link to `libfm-gtk.so.3.1.0'" | 03:55 |
| ypcity | ok, relinked "/usr/lib/libfm-gtk.so.3" to "/usr/local/lib/libfm-gtk.so.3.1.0" instead of libfm-gtk.so.3, and it can't find a different .so! | 03:59 |
| ypcity | success! sorta... thanks for your help Unit193! | 04:00 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 04:00 |
| ypcity | wtf, now it opens, but it still says "PCManFM 0.9.10" in Help > About... | 04:02 |
| ypcity | what am I doing wrong here... | 04:07 |
| ypcity | now I removed the package pcmanfm via Synaptic, but I can still run PCmanFM, and Help > About doesn't pop up with anything anymore... | 04:11 |
| ypcity | well the man page for it says 1.0.1, so I guess it works now? | 04:11 |
| ypcity | whatever, done spamming | 04:12 |
| cdoublejj | oooooooooooooooooohhhhh, this looks very itneresitng | 04:59 |
| cdoublejj | interesting | 04:59 |
| Unit193 | Hmmm? | 05:01 |
| cdoublejj | i may have possibly solved my problem. i have been struggling with lubuntu for a while now | 05:03 |
| cdoublejj | i figured out video drivers cause my system to lock just after it auto logs on | 05:03 |
| cdoublejj | http://askubuntu.com/questions/154387/my-computer-freezes-when-nvidia-drivers-activated | 05:04 |
| cdoublejj | NOT ONLY THAT! if you are connected to the internet no matter what check boxes you select lubuntu will automatically install those drivers! | 05:04 |
| cdoublejj | thats messed up man, if you think about it basically doomed to automatically bork it's self | 05:06 |
| === fragalot is now known as Guest33999 | ||
| cdoublejj | well i | 05:31 |
| cdoublejj | ll find out if this fixes my issue | 05:31 |
| cdoublejj | okay does any one know how i can lock my driver like in this post, http://askubuntu.com/questions/154387/my-computer-freezes-when-nvidia-drivers-activated but, with Lubuntu | 06:18 |
| Phiscribe | cdoublejj same package manager, so the instructions are the same. you lock the package. synaptic package manager find the package, under the package menu pick lock. i am not sure about the ppa's though. just telling your how to lock a pacakge (as the driver is contained in the pacakge) | 06:27 |
| cdoublejj | Phiscribe my package manager doesn't have the suggested version, even if i add the repository it still doesn't have it has an even newer version which says it can't be found and that i ahve to fix it manauly | 06:35 |
| cdoublejj | Soooo i downloaded version "nvidia-current=295.33" and if i install it can i stil lview from the package maanger? | 06:36 |
| cdoublejj | okay so this might sound dumb but, how do i lock packages in the package manager? | 06:37 |
| cdoublejj | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 06:40 |
| Phiscribe | you have to update if you add a repository for it to show up. i already said how to lock, "synaptic package manager find the package, under the package menu pick lock." | 06:41 |
| cdoublejj | i figured it out, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 06:45 |
| cdoublejj | but, i'm installing form a downloaded file since the added packages from the added repository basically 404ed, could not be found | 06:46 |
| cdoublejj | as far as i can tell this is real bug for lubuntu while ubunut totally has newer and older packages/drivers available | 06:47 |
| cdoublejj | just needa way to inform the developers or repository people | 06:47 |
| Phiscribe | the 404 thing might be temperoary. maybe hit the sack, check tommrow before doing the bug mambo | 06:49 |
| cdoublejj | well i installed the supposed known good driver and know machine is borked, it hard locks after auto login. is there away to uninstall them from recovery mode? | 06:50 |
| cdoublejj | forget i'll clean install again. it's the best way | 06:56 |
| Phiscribe | yeah clean install is magic | 07:10 |
| bioterror | .D | 07:16 |
| bioterror | it's easier to make a clean install and wish everything is okay than fix problems | 07:16 |
| Phiscribe | too much easier sadly...factualy | 07:19 |
| bioterror | if you have no idea what you're about to do, it might be | 07:20 |
| Phiscribe | mostly its just point releases i have to clean install, sometimes is something bizzare. as its bizzare to me, yeah i dont have a guru knowledge of many things, just a jack | 07:21 |
| tweak-daddy | any thoughts about the relative merits of GParted and the default(?)PartitionManager from Ubuntu | 08:31 |
| Unit193 | Last I knew GParted was the one used in Ubuntu. | 08:33 |
| tweak-daddy | when i search with synaptic, i see both listed and the latter one has the name Ubuntu listed alongside of it. | 08:34 |
| tweak-daddy | but I'm not certain what that indicates. i figured it meant that was the default one for Ubuntu | 08:35 |
| tweak-daddy | i think the funniest thing about this partitionmanager one is that the screenshot in Synaptic shows it all in Russian. | 08:41 |
| Unit193 | That's the default for Kubuntu. | 08:44 |

| Guest1923 | Someone know how I do to recover my password in Lubuntu. | 14:16 |
| Guest1923 | When th?? | 14:16 |
| rejven | hello, can someone help me with installing app in lubuntu, im newbie and im stuck :c | 15:06 |
| bioterror | !apt | rejven | 15:06 |
| ubottu | rejven: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 15:06 |
| bioterror | !synaptic | rejven | 15:06 |
| ubottu | rejven: A Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 15:06 |
| rejven | im confused, are you guys bots or :) i installed the app using sudo commands and i can see it in synaptic, but i dont see shortcuts in start menu :/ | 15:08 |
| redderhs | bioterror is sending commands to a bot (ubottu) to link you to articles that may assist with your questions. | 15:09 |
| bioterror | probably this application has no .desktop file, which can be found /usr/share/applications/ | 15:09 |
| bioterror | from | 15:09 |
| rejven | oh, thanks, but i cant find it in share folder :/ | 15:12 |
| tsimpson | what is the app, and how exactly did you install it? | 15:13 |
| rejven | app is tastebook, i found article on omgubuntu, and i just put sudo add-apt-repository ppa:leo.robol/tastebook; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install tastebook in terminal | 15:14 |
| rejven | and the installation went fine i think, asked my y/n and that stuff, others app i installed fine using this method, but this one dont give me start menu shortcut :D | 15:15 |
| rejven | sorry for noob questions, this is my day 2 of using linux :) | 15:15 |
| tsimpson | well, I can tell you that it's installed as /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/tastebook/bin/tastebook | 15:17 |
| tsimpson | and, as far as I can tell, it should have a menu entry | 15:18 |
| bioterror | dpkg --L tastebook | 15:18 |
| bioterror | -L | 15:18 |
| rejven | that is for listing ? | 15:21 |
| rejven | i can see it where tsimpson said :) | 15:22 |
| rejven | i can see this using synaptic /usr/share/applications/extras-tastebook.desktop but i cant see it in start menu :( | 15:29 |
| bioterror | can you pastebin.com or paste.ubuntu.com what this desktop file has inside it | 15:29 |
| tsimpson | bioterror: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1260158/ | 15:32 |
| rejven | tsimpson you installed this and you have start menu shortcut? | 15:33 |
| tsimpson | I haven't installed it, just extracted the files from the .deb | 15:33 |
| bioterror | is that Categories= correct? | 15:33 |
| rejven | i can see tastbook icon here /usr/share/applications | 15:34 |
| tsimpson | it could be that Categories is not specific enough for non-Unity | 15:36 |
| bioterror | yep | 15:37 |
| bioterror | as there's no place like GTK? | 15:37 |
| rejven | so, if i found tastbook icon, can i move it to start menu somehow? D: | 15:38 |
| bioterror | no | 15:38 |
| rejven | :( | 15:38 |
| bioterror | sad157@planetizer:~% cat /usr/share/applications/obconf.desktop | 15:38 |
| bioterror | Categories=Settings;DesktopSettings;GTK; | 15:38 |
| bioterror | seems interesting | 15:38 |
| tsimpson | I think it should have more than just Application, or one of the more specific categories | 15:40 |
| rejven | guess i should uninstall app and forget about it :D | 15:41 |
| bioterror | why? | 15:41 |
| bioterror | as you can run the binary | 15:41 |
| rejven | i dont know, i dont like idea that i dont have shortcut in start menu i guess ;c | 15:43 |
| tsimpson | isn't there a way to create a menu entry, manually? (not in lxde right now, so can't check) | 15:44 |
| bioterror | yes | 15:44 |
| bioterror | yes | 15:51 |
| bioterror | I made a tastebook.desktop | 15:51 |
| bioterror | it makes an empty place for my openbox menu | 15:51 |
| bioterror | and it's named show my recipes or something like that | 15:51 |
| bioterror | if you add s to Application to make it Applications, it's correct | 15:52 |
| bioterror | Categories=Applications;GTK; | 15:52 |
| rejven | if i only knew what to do now :) | 15:53 |
| bioterror | sudo nano /usr/share/applications/tastebook.desktop | 15:53 |
| bioterror | and fix the category | 15:53 |
| rejven | i got ^G ^O choices | 15:54 |
| tsimpson | use the arrow keys to move the cursor, edit the file, press Ctrl-O to save and Ctrl-X to exit | 15:56 |
| rejven | the problem is i dont see anything in that file, its all black | 15:56 |
| rejven | GNU nano 2.2.6 File: /usr/share/applications/tastebook.desktop | 15:57 |
| rejven | and all empty bellow | 15:57 |
| rejven | ok i opened it graphicaly, right click open with leafpad and i can see that line | 16:03 |
| rejven | but the file is named extra-tastebook | 16:03 |
| tsimpson | rejven: ah, it's /usr/share/applications/extras-tastebook.desktop | 16:04 |
| rejven | i changed it, still cant see shortcut :c | 16:08 |
| rejven | reboot?:D | 16:08 |
| rejven | so i have no tastebook.desktop with changed to categories: Aplications | 16:14 |
| rejven | still nothing | 16:14 |
| rejven | maybe if i delete this: OnlyShowIn=Unity; ? :D | 16:14 |
| rejven | now* | 16:14 |
| rejven | GUY | 16:16 |
| rejven | GUYS | 16:16 |
| rejven | im proud to say | 16:17 |
| rejven | that i am hack | 16:17 |
| rejven | hacker | 16:17 |
| * redderhs gives you a golden axe | 16:17 | |
| rejven | i went into another app and saw Categories=GNOME;Utility; | 16:17 |
| rejven | so i changed my tastebook.desktop the same way | 16:17 |
| rejven | and now i have shortcut \o/ | 16:17 |
| rejven | thanks | 16:17 |
| rejven | tsimpson and bioterror ! | 16:18 |
| bioterror | I just said that add s letter to Application | 16:18 |
| bioterror | to make it Applications | 16:18 |
| rejven | yeah that didnt work i think | 16:18 |
| rejven | but you showed me the way! | 16:18 |
| zleap | I am trying to delete the files from a external usb flash drive, I think what has happened is that in doing so before they ended up in trash, but i can't find trash on the drive so how can i delete all files on the device | 16:45 |
| * zleap has fixed it | 16:46 | |
