| esph | Alright, I can't run update-manager at all, and it gives me this error: http://sprunge.us/WSMM | 02:05 |
|---|---|---|
| esph | What gives? | 02:05 |
| esph | The only hits google gives for "ImportError: No module named repository" are quite old (like 2011) and I'm running 14.04 | 02:08 |
| esph | And also this is a new install; the computer didn't even exist before this year. | 02:10 |
| xubuntu396 | hi | 02:23 |
| bluesabre | esph: try "sudo apt-get install python-gi", looks like your system is missing the python gtk libraries | 02:26 |
| esph | bluesabre: nope, already had that. | 02:30 |
| esph | I did a standard install, not sure how software-center gets broken that way. | 02:30 |
| esph | Also, it worked one time right after I installed, iirc. | 02:30 |
| bluesabre | ok, do you have any local installs of python? | 02:31 |
| esph | bluesabre: nope | 02:31 |
| bluesabre | hm | 02:31 |
| bluesabre | so "which python" lists "/usr/bin/python"? | 02:33 |
| Unit193 | python3-gi that is. | 02:33 |
| bluesabre | oh right, software-center uses py3 now | 02:34 |
| esph | bluesabre: yeah | 02:34 |
| esph | bluesabre: did that change in the past couple of weeks? | 02:34 |
| bluesabre | not recently, I think that's been that way for a few releases | 02:34 |
| esph | I'll check anyway. | 02:34 |
| esph | nope, had that too. | 02:35 |
| esph | Again, it worked once (I installed vim that way) | 02:35 |
| bluesabre | right | 02:36 |
| bluesabre | does /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/repository/ exist? | 02:36 |
| * Unit193 ponders why any vim user wouldn't use apt/apt-get/apt-cache commands. | 02:36 | |
| esph | Unit193: here's the output I'm seeing, if you didn't feel like reading up above: http://sprunge.us/WSMM | 02:36 |
| esph | Unit193: one reason was because I wanted to test out the ways in which my sister would use the system, since it's hers. | 02:37 |
| Unit193 | esph: You'll have better luck with bluesabre, he knows python and might have used USC. I just reminded it was py3. | 02:37 |
| Unit193 | And, I see. | 02:37 |
| bluesabre | actually, might not be py3 judging by the script... try this: | 02:39 |
| bluesabre | /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/software-center | 02:39 |
| esph | bluesabre: yeah, I've got an __init__.py and a __pycache__ dir in there. | 02:39 |
| esph | alright. | 02:39 |
| Unit193 | Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2) | 02:40 |
| esph | bluesabre: the output is the same running it that way. | 02:42 |
| bluesabre | this is my last thing that might possibly work... | 02:45 |
| bluesabre | sudo dpkg-reconfigure python-gi python-gobject software-center | 02:45 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre: sudo apt-get --reinstall install perhaps? | 02:46 |
| esph | bluesabre: can't even do that: http://sprunge.us/KaVe :/ | 02:51 |
| esph | at least that error is more explicit. | 02:52 |
| bluesabre | yeah | 02:53 |
| bluesabre | sudo apt-get --reinstall install python-gi | 02:53 |
| bluesabre | it looks like the python install is messed up somehow | 02:53 |
| esph | hmm, think that worked. | 02:54 |
| esph | What's strange is there wasn't a problem initially. | 02:54 |
| esph | Could this be a strange bitrot issue or something else with the drive maybe? | 02:55 |
| bluesabre | no clue | 02:55 |
| bluesabre | maybe a python update failed or didn't complete | 02:55 |
| esph | ah, yeah, that's probably more likely. | 02:55 |
| esph | bluesabre: anyway, thanks a bunch. I probably would have been at it for ages without your help. That initial error message was very opaque :/ | 02:57 |
| bluesabre | glad I could help, hopefully it goes a bit better now :) | 02:58 |
| esph | Hopefully that didn't happen to any other packages, lol. | 02:58 |
| esph | bluesabre: oh, btw, do you know what she might have done that could have caused an update to mess up? (if that's what it was) | 03:02 |
| bluesabre | hard to say, maybe power loss during package update? Unit193, any ideas? | 03:04 |
| esph | bluesabre: is ubuntu bothered at all by going to sleep during updates? (I'm just guessing that that could have happened, I'm not sure) | 03:05 |
| bluesabre | esph: I don't know... I'd imagine that it should not be bothered by that | 03:07 |
| esph | I wouldn't think so either, but it was worth checking. | 03:08 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre: Could perhaps check with debsums, or check to see what's not configured/unpacked. | 03:13 |
| zruty | Since a while, when someone sends me a link in pidgin, it opens in chrome, even though Inever installed that. How can I change that? How can I get rid of chrome? | 06:54 |
| bazhang | tried asking in #pidgin ? | 06:55 |
| zruty | No. Is it pidgin related then? | 06:55 |
| zruty | FF is set to be the default browser | 06:56 |

| xubuntu915 | Does xubuntu have some form of open office? | 14:17 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu915 abiword but you can easily install libreoffice | 14:18 |
| Luyin | xubuntu915: abiword and gnumeric are shipped by default in Xubuntu 14.04, but LibreOffice and Calligra are in the sources | 14:18 |
| ARM9 | is libreoffice java based? | 14:58 |
| ARM9 | or was that only oo.o | 14:58 |
| cfhowlett | !info libreoffice | 15:00 |
| ubottu | libreoffice (source: libreoffice): office productivity suite (metapackage). In component universe, is optional. Version 1:4.2.4-0ubuntu2 (trusty), package size 26 kB, installed size 161 kB | 15:00 |
| GridCube | LO is not java based as long as i know | 15:00 |
| GridCube | http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libreoffice | 15:01 |
| GridCube | oh, it seems im wrong | 15:02 |
| xubuntu492 | HEllo | 15:03 |
| xubuntu492 | I am having trouble with a bootloop login, where I can login as guest or startx as sudo, but not as user. any help? | 15:03 |
| xubuntu492 | Tried to chown the .Xauthority file but it only made it worse | 15:04 |
| GridCube | xubuntu492, just purge the .Xauthority and .ICEauthority files, delete them, and let them respawn on your next login | 15:05 |
| xubuntu492 | OK ill try that thanks! | 15:05 |
| Alfamoon | Hi all, this is my first time using Xubuntu and I am astonished ! | 15:51 |
| derek-g | it seems like xfdesktop keeps crashing|restarting when I delete files from it - how would I troubleshoot it? | 15:56 |
| ARM9 | Alfamoon astonished in a good way? | 16:00 |
| xubuntu300 | Bonjour tout le monde | 16:02 |
| Alfamoon | of course.. isn't a curse. :p | 16:06 |
| brainwash | derek-g: open a terminal window and run "killall xfdesktop; xfdesktop" | 16:06 |
| brainwash | then trigger the crash again | 16:06 |
| derek-g | brainwash, but where is the actual log? | 16:14 |
| brainwash | did no messages show up in the terminal? | 16:15 |
| brainwash | for session log files you can check ~/.cache/upstart/ | 16:15 |
| brainwash | if you are using xubuntu 13.10 or 14.04 | 16:16 |
| derek-g | brainwash, ill try it a bit later - thanks! | 16:18 |
| m1chael | hello. i have xubuntu 14.04 (upgraded from 13.*) i close the lid on my laptop, and it never recovers. stays at black screen. the color on google chrome is also a bit pixelated in the gray areas. i've tried a lot of fixes, nothing seems to be working. what would you guys do at this point? this makes me not even want to use my computer | 17:57 |
| === mtrd is now known as EugeneBandit | ||
| bgardner | m1chael: I have the same issue on my netbook upgraded from 13.10, this also happened on upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04. In my case I stopped using suspend/resume until the devs sorted it out. Best advice is to submit a bug report and hang in there. | 18:20 |

| genii | Probably same as 1303736 | 19:03 |
| genii | Oh, nvm :) Thought it was a later report | 19:04 |
| bgardner | Hmm on closer inspection 1303736 does not match my own experience, I get a full-on Xorg crash. I'll do more research first and then maybe open a new bug. | 20:10 |
| WebDawg | fucking dpms | 20:35 |
| Unit193 | No cussing. Did you have a question about it or something else? | 20:38 |
| WebDawg | Unit193, you afraid of words man? | 20:39 |
| Unit193 | Nope, it's channel policy. | 20:39 |
| WebDawg | So the entire channel is afraid of words. Nice. Us peasants will be careful with our uneducated sayings. | 20:40 |
| WebDawg | I am just messing with you man. | 20:40 |
| WebDawg | Sorry about that. | 20:40 |
| WebDawg | Yeh, xubuntu seemed to have no effect on dpms. I had a system I just installed it on and the monitor would keep blanking. I could not use the settings control panel to do anything., | 20:40 |
| WebDawg | I had to disable dpms heh. | 20:41 |
| Unit193 | The interaction between xfce4-power-manager/light-locker and systemd, or the ability to inhibit it, wasn't working properly and that was fixed in a recent upload, but could be a different issue. Even after installing the fix, you had to toggle something in light-locker-settings in order for it to take effect. | 20:43 |
| WebDawg | Unit193, you have a link? | 20:44 |
| WebDawg | If I update, and toggle that deal, I suppose it will work again? | 20:44 |

| dashaus | hello!! I've got a problem with xubuntu 14.04, can you help me? | 22:01 |
| dashaus | Simple question: where can i find lod file? | 22:02 |
| dashaus | i.e log* | 22:02 |
| Luyin | dashaus: depends. log of what? | 22:03 |
| SkippersBoss | /var/log would be a good place to start | 22:04 |
| SkippersBoss | but not every application uses the default store | 22:04 |
| dashaus | Well, I try to turn proprietary wifi driver on but application simply "ignores" what I choose and I try to find reasons. | 22:07 |
| dashaus | I turned it down and play with ndisgtk (unsuccessfully) and now I cann't get back to propriety broadcom drivers. | 22:08 |
| adrenaline_ | dashaus, go to settings manager and click on "Additional Drivers" You probably have your broadcom drivers in there. it will require a reboot when you are done, but if they are in there they are much better than ndis. | 22:16 |
| dashaus | well syslog is not helpful. The issue is when I choose Broadcome driver and confirm it with my admin pass then there's no effect and in "Additional Drivers" option "Periperial is Not used " is choose again (I use Polish desktop, so forgive my translation). | 22:20 |
| dashaus | I started software-properties-gtk from terminal but unfortunatelly I got no feed-back in terminal about reasons for no-change. Can you advise me? I don't want to reinstall xubuntu. | 22:25 |
| adrenaline_ | can you see the broadcom card in lspci or lusb? | 22:28 |
| dashaus | yes, | 22:32 |
| dashaus | Adrenaline, in software-properties-gtk I can find something like "This device is not working" just below "Broadcom Corporation" | 22:36 |
| dashaus | Adrenaline, lspci shows my wifi but I can't get any error message from sotware-properties-gtk. | 22:42 |
| adrenaline_ | Sorry I am not familiar wiht "Software-properties-gtk," but it sounds like you have a driver but are missing the firmware. Or you don't have permissions to run the firmware | 22:47 |
| dashaus | But it all have worked one hour ago! I only stopped using Broadcome driver to try ndis. After turning it off, I cannot turn proprieraty drivers on again and don't know why. Can any one of you help me, please? | 22:58 |
| sdollins | I gave my grandmother a laptop running xubuntu last week and she seems happy with it. Woo! | 23:06 |
