[01:24] how do I install GTK on xubuntu? [01:24] 14.04 [01:26] gtk? [01:26] with python [01:26] depends on what it is used for [01:27] gtk is set of libraries for diff languages [01:27] depends on what you use gtk with [01:27] synaptic [01:27] nomic: I need GTK to render a desktop application. Is GTK supported on Xubuntu? [01:27] package manager [01:27] will show you gtks [01:27] yes [01:28] i use it [01:28] python package [01:28] (for instance) [01:28] that's weird. When I tried installing pygtk in a docker container, it failed [01:28] i get it thru synaptic [01:29] = "python-gtk2" [01:30] sudo apt-get install python-gtk2 [01:30] then I have [01:30] import gtk (from python) [01:30] i use it to get x info [01:30] nothing else [01:31] hang on [01:31] thanks for that [01:31] don't even need it [01:31] how do you install the pygtk lib for python then? [01:31] sudo apt-get install python-gtk2 [01:31] cmd [01:35] nomic: I get: Reading state information... [01:35] E: Unable to locate package python-gtk2 [01:35] hmm [01:35] go through synaptic [01:35] sudo apt-get install synaptic [01:35] = package manager [01:35] then sudo synaptic [01:35] runs it [01:35] rebuilds indexes [01:35] I need to install this through a dockerfile [01:35] then put in python gtk into search bar [01:36] it is python-gtk2 [01:36] this is str8forward - through synaptic [01:36] is small package [01:36] not major toolset like java or eclipse [01:36] module [02:36] The monitor cable came loose for a second and now the screen won't come back on. Switching to another terminal (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-6) works though [02:36] also, x11vnc is still working fine [02:37] GeekDude: you need to get into "Display" and activate it again [02:38] * GeekDude checks "configure new displays when connected" box [02:40] no not configure [02:40] the display is just not "ticked" [02:47] I think I might try rebooting [02:48] I can't get 'Display' to make anything work, and switching terminals isn't working anymore [02:48] brb [03:05] Well, rebooting worked [03:06] but it still breaks if I hotplug the vga [03:17] if/when you are stuck in a terminal, just sudo service restart lightdm [03:18] that will reboot the GUI [03:18] might be sudo service lightdm restart [03:18] been a while [03:21] hmm [03:21] I'll try that next time [03:55] why it takes a least one minute to start "run command" (application finder as it says) with Alt+F2 ? (Xubuntu 14.04 LTS 32 bit) [03:56] nikolam: not sure.. do you have any ideas? are you running compositing? have you tested the hardware? when did you install? has it *always* been that way? [03:58] i had one machine that took that long for atl+f2, and the graphics driver addressed the issue.. another one that behaved similarly ended up having a failing hard drive [04:01] I remember that bug from some time ago, not sure if it was in 12.04. I use Nvidia proprietary driver, that is tested, came with Ubuntu, installed from packages. It IS selected "use display compositor" in settings. [04:02] nikolam: it was not a bug for me [04:02] I have BTRFS so I guess that rules out disk, as it does checksums [04:03] nikolam: ? *all* drives fail [04:03] anyways.. is that literally the only thing wrong? [04:03] After invoking it with Alt+F2 for the first time, further invokings are fast. Only first one is slow [04:05] holstein, what? yes, that what I am reporting now. [04:06] It is interesting aptitude is saying it has some packages to upgrade, but software updater GUI does not gives anything yet: The following packages will be upgraded: [04:06] gvfs gvfs-backends gvfs-bin gvfs-common gvfs-daemons gvfs-fuse gvfs-libs libnautilus-extension1a nautilus nautilus-data [04:08] they should see the same packages from the same sources.. i would use "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and report it as a bug, if you find they are different in the future, and your cache is updated.. [04:08] Also XChat failed to contact freenode on default settings, I needed to copy settings from hexchat [04:09] yeah, I usually do aptitude update and aptitude upgrade to check if I am not at console. But I rely on GUI software updater for updates. I was thinking, like there must be a reason GUI updater is holding them back... [04:10] nikolam: *if* your cache is updated, *all* the package managers on your system should see the same thing [04:11] nikolam: i would start there, and update, in the GUI.. you can close the terminal and the other package managers, press "update" or "reload" or whatever refreshes the cache, and see that there are no errors [04:11] ok, will see to check that later, if there's room for bug report [04:11] !bug [04:11] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [04:12] though, it wont be a bug, if you just dont have the cache updated, look at the GUI list,*then* update in the terminal, and have newer packages.. [04:16] I've done aptitude update and reload in synaptic, synaptic also saying it can mark newer packages. [04:18] so it must be something in software updater. [04:23] im not following [04:23] looks like, synaptic isnt finding any new packages, since you applied the update [04:26] synaptic is finding them. And aptitude finds them. Software updater GUI does not finds them. [04:27] Like it was few days ago, too, I have seen there are updates, but there were soe time, before software updater offered them [04:27] i wouldnt know, personally, since, i disable all auto updating, and do it in the terminal with apt.. [04:29] aha ok. well I update manually, too, just let it display them when they come. [04:30] if you think you have a bug, file it, or join one that already exists.. i dont find one in my searches [04:30] ok then. [04:30] there are no different sources [04:54] hello. trying to solve the problem since month since I switched from ubuntu 14.04 to xubuntu 14.04: only have english keyboard. I can switch to another keyboard variant.. this works for "normal" inputs.. but light locker and login are still english keyboard. noone can fix this.. also happens in a fresh installation (you can try..) [04:54] anyone could help me [05:10] pragomer: have you tried the display-setup-script option? See here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11580876/ [05:11] i forgot, the file is: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [05:21] baizon, what's the point, one needs to edit text file in /etc to get other characters on login/screensaver then english, and needs to do that for whatever single language is in use ? [05:24] I think I can choose keyboard language on login just fine on Xubuntu 14.04.. pragomer [05:25] I switched to xscreensaver and removed light-locker, because it has issues of not supporting screen saver and killing sound [05:28] nikolam: I will try now this script.. just a moment. But.. I installed 3times a normal xubuntu 14.04 in virtualbox.. and I choose a user-password that contains e.g. "-" [05:28] and ONLY in login or lightlocker I have to use "?" (english/german) [05:29] I have no /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [05:29] just the folder lightdm.conf.d [05:29] and inside 10-xubuntu.conf [05:30] nikolam: I now use your lines in 10-xubuntu.conf... now doing a reboot.. [05:32] pragomer: then its that file [05:33] hey nikolam.. this was the perfect solution.. I thank you so so much. I really searching for long now for this solution.. you really made my day and weekend :-) [05:33] neither I have lightdm.conf I just instaleld xscreensaver. And after adding language support in Xfce, I ended up with multiple languages in login [05:34] pragomer, well, feel free to contribute to make light-locker better.. :P [05:34] nikolam: light-locker is the default screen saver for 14.04 [05:34] yeah and it sucks :P [05:34] not for me :) [05:35] you haven't had se_ix with your girfriend when it cut your music lately, haven't you? baizon :P [05:36] ok [05:36] have a good day u2 [05:36] ok pragomer [05:36] bye [05:40] Wonder if I could left gnome-screensaver installed if I use xscreensaver.. I found that ubuntu buttons for login stops working after gnome-screensaver uninstall, as per http://www.n00bsonubuntu.net/content/install-xscreensaver-ubuntu-14-04/ but xfce buttons for logoff works (but there is no switch user button anymore) [09:04] hello [09:08] hi huemac [09:10] by nikolam [09:10] bye nikolam === likevinyl is now known as LikeVinyl [10:51] Guess I need to figure out how to make mirc pause between id'ing and join commands === benonsoftware is now known as MerryChristmas === MerryChristmas is now known as benonsoftware [13:08] hello guys im new xubuntu user i've got a AMD -E1 64 bit and a video card AMD7ATI KALINDI readon hd how can i find the driver and install it for a good video resolution?PLs help me thanx [13:16] andrea_: have you tried the "Additional Drivers" item in the settings manager yet?

[20:42] I was wondering whether someone here could help me with issues I'm having upgrading 14.04 -> 14.10 xubuntu? [20:49] I was wondering whether someone here could help me with issues I'm having upgrading 14.04 -> 14.10 xubuntu? [20:52] vinny: you won't know until you describe the actual problem [20:53] I get an error saying it is unable to install and to refer to apt.log... [20:53] of the messages within, one is ... [20:53] libgl1-mesa-dev:amd64 Depends on libgl1-mesa-glx [ amd64 ] < 10.7~git1506050730.cb277c~gd~t > ( libs ) (= 10.3.2-0ubuntu0.1) can't be satisfied! [20:54] libgl1-mesa-glx is installed [20:54] most likely triggered by a package which has been installed from a PPA [20:56] is there any way of resolving this? [20:56] downgrade it to the version from the official repo [20:57] how would I do this? [20:57] !ppa-purge [20:57] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [20:59] another solution is do a clean install of 15.04 (14.10 will reach end of support soon anyway) [21:01] thanks for that brainwash/ubottu!
