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

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