[00:13] Can't get my double tapping to work [00:13] I'm gonna restart [00:16] strange... double tapping doesnt work when I press alt to move windows [00:16] But it works fine when I click mousepad in [00:18] I have to double tap really hard when holding alt [00:18] So weird [00:18] Once I have grabbed the window once, and continue holding alt tapping works normally [00:19] Anyone know what might be going on? [00:21] Oh you know what [00:21] I see whats happening [00:21] disable touchpad while typing causes it [00:21] heheh [00:22] alright theres an option to allow modifier keys, nice synaptics well done [00:29] Final issue... I have a game called "Criticalmass" listed in my start menu list that I thought I Deleted... THe problem is that no matter how many times I try to delete the icon it pops up again in " /home/USERNAME/.local/share/applications " [00:29] What can I do to finally delete this fucking application? [00:31] have you unistalled the package [00:31] is there one systemwide in /usr/share/applications/ ? [00:31] have you uninstalled packages? [00:34] ianorlin - I uninstaled the criticalmass package, yes. [00:34] CHecking everything else. [00:34] GIve me a sec. [00:35] ianorlin - There is one in usr/share/applications [00:36] I'm getting my lubuntu desktop lookin niiiice [00:36] any devs here? I'm wondering how pcmanfm works as desktop application [00:37] looking to replace it with terminal and auto gain focus [00:39] ianorlin - Got it! Thank you.

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [03:56] hello [03:56] i want to mount /tmp with noexec flag. but my /etc/fstab doesn't have entry for /tmp [03:57] can someone please tell me how to add an entry of /tmp in /etc/fstab. my /etc/mtab shows and entry for /tmp with tmpfs fs. [04:03] !fstab [04:03] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [04:03] sameeroak: you can follow any ubuntu guides you find [04:03] though, you may be able to outline the larger goal you have, and get a "better" suggestion [04:04] holstein: thank you very much for your reply. i'm not being able to find an entry in /etc/fstab [04:04] holstein: i simply want to remount /tmp with noexec flag. [04:05] tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0 [04:05] i've this virtual machine, ubuntu 14 [04:05] ^ thats my default line from fstab [04:05] 14.04* [04:05] yes. [04:05] anyways, you can just use the mount commands, you dont *have* to use fstab.. [04:05] holstein: so you mean, can i just go ahead and add this line in fstab and reboot the machine, right? [04:06] sameeroak: i cant say, since, i dont know anything about your setup [04:06] holstein: i know, it used the mount command to start with. however, it threw the error: [04:06] sameeroak: you say, you dont have the entry, thats the entry i have.. you can add it, and edit the flags, and know how to edit/fix fstab if you break it [04:06] root@crtqa-virtual-machine:~# mount -o remount,noexec /tmp [04:06] mount: can't find /tmp in /etc/fstab [04:06] or, just mount with the mount command.. [04:06] hey does anyone know if the lubuntu project will continue with powerpc development? I know on the site it states you staying with LTS releases. Just curios to see if it just stay with 14.04 [04:07] !ppc [04:07] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture until 6.10. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [04:07] ricanlinux: its a community project, anyways [04:07] holstein: it's a virtual machine. [04:08] holstein: do you want to see the output of df -lPh ? [04:08] sameeroak: sure, i get that, friend.. virtual machines have virtual filesystems.. [04:08] holstein: that's the problem, you've got that correct. so how can i remount /tmp then? [04:09] i know it is a community project, so does that mean that questions on Lubuntu PPC are addressed here? [04:09] are not i mean [04:10] ricanlinux: correct. its not an "official" port, generally.. but, as long as *any* ubuntu is released, for ppc, there should be lxde in the repos, and you can install [04:11] ok thanks [04:12] sameeroak: do *you* see it listed in fstab? [04:20] holstein: no. that's the problem. [04:20] sameeroak: then, i would simply try adding it, and reboot, or, look into why you dont have it [04:21] holstein: i tried to find out, but didn't get any specific reason. as you've suggested, i'll try to add the entry as you showed in first couple of messages. === Guest97037 is now known as Tm_T === Guest66455 is now known as pAt_ === pAt_ is now known as Guest87872 === Guest87872 is now known as pAt____ [06:40] Hi, I need to edit remote files over ssh (with pubkey auth) from Lubuntu desktop. Can I easily get the remote mounted as filesystem, or is there an editor which can do it directly over ssh? [06:40] (I mean, I can do this the hard way, I'm looking for an easy way under Lubuntu, and didn't find anything under the desktop menu) [06:41] hyde: which editor? [06:42] you can mount in pcmanfm with sftp and then editing it should work I think [06:43] ianorlin: ah, looks like it's there. I didn't think to look inside pcmanfm. Thanks! [07:15] friends, any go start up companies in europe? [07:15] i'm start ups working in go? [07:17] sameeroak: this is a support channel for lubuntu I don't know about go companies and don't know of any user facing packages in lubuntu written in go by default [07:25] ianorlin: extremely sorry, i wanted to post the message to #go-nuts. posted here by mistake. again, extremely sorry. [07:31] oh that makes more sense [11:00] hello [11:01] does anyone know how to addsome free space from a partition that i deleted to my lubuntu partition === dzho_ is now known as dzho [15:50] Any dropbox user around? [15:57] Gibarian: yes [16:11] Do you know if the white box issue (tray icon in white box) has been solved? [16:12] In the current Lubuntu release [16:20] Gibarian: i would ask the creators, or just try it.. i dont think its anything that lubuntu can solve, specifically, though, with all the GTK changes, i would expect "issues" for a bit === pleia2_ is now known as pleia2 [16:21] holstein: ok [17:18] what is the command to disable the webcam on a laptop [17:23] !blacklist [17:23] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [17:24] or, you may find you can disable it in the bios.. [17:24] jay8347: whats the goal? you'll likely find that, you dont need to disable components like that, in linux, in regard to system resources [17:25] i tried to black list uvcvideo and it also disabled my keyboard [17:25] my goal is i want my webcam to always be turned off [17:25] jay8347: sure.. so, can you disable it in the bios? [17:25] i do not think I have that option [17:26] i was looking for a way to shut it off in linux ............if possible [17:26] jay8347: maybe check and see, since, that will be off.. also, a piece of tape is easy [17:26] jay8347: its "off" in linux, if you are not using it [17:26] well i guess I do not want a hacker to be able to turn it on [17:27] jay8347: you guess? why not try and "hack" your machine and turn it on? [17:27] I cant hack my machine I am not skillful enough [17:28] anyways, you can simply blacklist, or disable in the bios.. but, if a "hacker" had access, then could just undo the blacklist, and hide that they did that.. so, *if* you are worried about 'hackers', a software solution is likely not going to address that [17:28] I was thinking via the internet a hacker could turn my cam on and spy on me or turn the mic on etc... [17:28] jay8347: sure, and unblacklist, or, what about injecting something into the uefi bootloader to renable in the bios?

[17:32] or, dramatically decreases it [17:32] if, say, someone wants to target you, specifically, and has deep enough pockets, there is really nothing you can do [17:33] well i am not some big corp or a million dollar man............so i assume no one will be targeting me at that level [17:33] jay8347: sure, and thats the issue... "assuming" [17:33] my cousin was surfing a porn site and the porn site popped up an ad that took a pic of him using his cam [17:33] its alwasy good to try and get as factual as you can about the actual risks, and what they are [17:34] jay8347: sure.. and, how did that happen? running the web browser as administrator? not patching? agreeing to that by clicking a button? etc.. [17:34] i mean, bad things happen.. [17:34] yea for sure [17:35] but, try and not live in fear.. look for the facts, and know the risks [17:35] i mean he has windows 8 [17:35] address them.. even if that means *not* going online [17:35] i went to linux because i didnt want to go to windows 8 [17:35] so, running windows 8 as an admin user, that can easily happen [17:35] are you running as admin? not on a stock lubuntu install.. [17:36] and, im not saying "oh, trust me, you are safe".. im saying, check and see for yourself [17:36] i do not know the answer to that question. I do know that it if i type in sudo it then asks for my pass [17:36] if i run as admin does it never prompt me for a pass [17:37] jay8347: sure, so, when you dont know, then, ask, and look and see [17:37] i am new to linux, so far I have limited command abilities, reminds me of the days of DOS terminal [17:37] *that* is a simple way for an attacker to gain access to hardware.. the user is running *everything* as admin [17:37] !sudo [17:37] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [17:37] try and not expect to solve all these issues in such a short time [17:38] can a person hack linux ? [17:38] i mean, if you were running windows, before, as admin, and you move to stock lubuntu, you are already in much better shape [17:38] jay8347: of course [17:38] but, you dont *have* to "hack" anything.. you just have to gain access [17:38] would they need to use a brute force password thing to hack linux [17:38] that can be done by someone tricking you into running a sudo command [17:38] wouldnt they need my password [17:39] jay8347: i dont need to brute force anything, if i get you to run a "magic" sudo command.. [17:39] Salut ! [17:39] jay8347: you would be the one inputing the password, and trusting the command, for example [17:39] what do the hackers use a keylogger ? [17:39] or, not understanding what it does.. or, trying to install something [17:39] jay8347: to capture keystrokes.. such as sensitive passwords [17:39] BBA: o/ [17:39] oh so the hacker gets the pass when you put it in on a server [17:40] How to upgrade Lubuntu 14.04 to Lubuntu 15.04 please ? [17:40] like if i do sudo apt-get install ? [17:40] BBA: you cant, easily.. you can simply reinstall, or upgrade to 14.10, then 15.04. i suggest backing up, regardless, before doing either.. and i suggest waiting til 16.04, which *will* upgrade straight from 14.04 [17:41] jay8347: no.. those are typically, "in repo" packages.. "safe and tested".. as much as they can be [17:41] Okay, thanks [17:41] Do you know when the 16.04 version will be available ? [17:41] jay8347: the issue would be, sudo some_secret_script.you.dowload [17:41] why did microsoft windows get big but linux didnt ? [17:41] BBA: the first number, 16, is the year, the second, 04 is the month [17:42] jay8347: there is no "linux".. its not a company, selling you a product [17:42] holstein: I have to wait for a long time ! [17:42] its just the community project, and the kernel that is produced.. android *did* get "big", selling and utlizing the linux kernel [17:42] BBA: no, you can do what you like, friend.. install 15.04, if you want.. [17:43] !lts [17:43] LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) [17:43] 14.04 and 16.04 are long term support releases.. 5 years uptime on the sources [17:43] I think I will test it, maybe will my old notebook die but I prefer [17:43] if you want the "in between normal release" go for it. you'll upgrade from 14.04, to 14.10, to 15.04 [17:43] i would expect about 4 hours per step [17:44] And thanks to you I ready for my english exam tomorrow, I'm French uhuh [17:44] or, a simple reinstall might take 20 minutes.. [17:46] I did "do-release-upgrade" and it's saying "no new version available" [17:47] BBA: yup.. there is no "new LTS version" [17:47] and thats the way its setup [17:47] Okay, thanks for the explainations [17:47] i suggest, *if* you want to do the upgrade, have a proper backup, then, go into the menu to the update manager, and tell it you want to look for regular releases, not just LTS's [17:48] Okay, I see [17:48] then, you can fresh, and see the 14.10, which is EOL soon, that may be broken [17:48] Is it normal to have a reduced number of paquets availale in the software center ? [17:49] BBA: not sure what you are referring to [17:49] I'm using Lubuntu, I speaking about the graphic software where I can find other things to install [17:50] In my langage that's the "Logithèque Lubuntu" [17:51] That's it: http://www.clapico.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/lubuntu02.png [17:53] Can I install he "regular" Ubuntu Software Center on Lubuntu ? [17:57] BBA: should be in the repos, and actually, not address that issue [17:58] you can use any package manager you choose.. i would try synaptic, for a GUI one [17:58] Yes, I'm a beginner and the command line isn't very clear for me [17:59] I will test it later, because the "upgrade manager" is running [17:59] So thank you for your help, and maybe see you later guys !
