| woof | hi | 00:16 |
|---|---|---|
| woof | im trying to use gparted on my lubuntu install but its different to gparted im used to | 00:18 |
| tsimonq2 | woof: If it seems different, launch it from the terminal as you may be referencing a different package | 00:40 |

| === QuaintOldBaby is now known as iynque | ||
| woof | tsimonq2 thanks for that, it seems i have been running the lubuntu disk manager app which doesnt have options to resize partitions so not much use to me. i thought it was gparted. | 01:25 |
| woof | I try install gparted in the terminal but there are deeper issues i think with the lubuntu install, It | 01:28 |
| woof | reports some errors about serial.txt | 01:28 |
| Kamilion | huh | 01:34 |
| Kamilion | I've been using gparted for a while | 01:35 |
| Kamilion | http://puu.sh/k5Ypx/d2ecec3d9f.jpg <--- what exactly are you having a problem with? | 01:35 |
| woof | one second ill boot the laptop and show you the errors when i try install updates. | 01:39 |
| Kamilion | oh, trouble with apt isn't really my forte, but I'll try to help. | 01:39 |
| Kamilion | I've seen a lot of it's error messages over the last eight years | 01:40 |
| woof | ok thanks ive been on linux a few years but not really a technical user and im more familiar with debian | 01:41 |
| Kamilion | i maintain a lubuntu-derived live ISO, so I'm reasonably comfortable with technical stuff and the process of discovery. | 01:42 |
| woof | i have the error in a .txt can i upload that to pastebin or something? whats a quick site to use? | 01:44 |
| Kamilion | i should note though, ubuntu's kinda behind on gparted, I think wily's got 0.19, gparted.org has 0.23.0 available as a standalone ISO. http://gparted.org/download.php | 01:44 |
| Kamilion | uh | 01:44 |
| Kamilion | normally I'd tell you to install the pastebinit package | 01:44 |
| Kamilion | which uploads to http://paste.ubuntu.com | 01:44 |
| Kamilion | but considering it's your apt that's having problems, I'd guess it'd be easier to visit with a web browser. | 01:44 |
| woof | ok ill put it online just a minute | 01:45 |
| woof | i cant get the text from the xterm window to copy to clipboard | 01:52 |
| iynque | right click > copy? | 01:53 |
| woof | right click does nothing, crtl-c does nothing | 01:53 |
| iynque | ctrl+C kills a process in terminal | 01:53 |
| iynque | ctrl+shift+C might work | 01:54 |
| woof | k | 01:54 |
| woof | nope | 01:55 |
| iynque | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 01:55 |
| woof | taking a break, back in a min | 01:55 |
| woof | *shruggs lol | 01:56 |
| iynque | for xterm: middle click, or shift+insert, via http://askubuntu.com/questions/237942/how-does-copy-paste-work-with-xterm | 01:58 |
| iynque | :B | 01:58 |
| Unit193 | That's one paste buffer, the other one is different. | 01:58 |
| iynque | whelp... | 01:59 |
| Unit193 | That's the 'select' buffer, so should generally be alright. | 01:59 |
| * iynque excuses himself to not-know elsewhere : | 01:59 | |
| woof | well that didnt copy | 02:02 |
| Kamilion | whoops, sorry, got a little distracted | 02:04 |
| woof | it says... update-rc.d: error: unable to read /etc/init.d/setserial | 02:05 |
| woof | dpkg: error processing package setserial (--configure): | 02:07 |
| woof | searching google but not hopefull | 02:20 |
| Kamilion | uh, okay | 02:23 |
| Kamilion | does /etc/init.d/setseria* exist? | 02:23 |
| Kamilion | ls -al /etc/ini*/setseria* | 02:24 |
| Kamilion | and in any case; if you're not using your serial ports, you can likely just ask apt to remove or purge the setserial package. | 02:25 |
| Kamilion | Doesn't look like anything in the base ubuntu image requires it -- at least, it's not installed by default on my lubuntu image. | 02:25 |
| Kamilion | have you done a dist-upgrade recently? | 02:25 |
| Kamilion | so old packages are removed? | 02:25 |
| Kamilion | or just repeated apt-get upgrade? | 02:26 |
| woof | nope | 02:26 |
| Kamilion | try 'apt update && apt full-upgrade' | 02:26 |
| Kamilion | see what the prompt offers for you. | 02:26 |
| woof | i usually try update thru synaptic and its been buggy | 02:26 |
| Kamilion | ahh, no wonder. | 02:27 |
| Kamilion | update-manager does a better job at keeping track of adding and removing packages than synaptic; often synaptic won't try to remove old stuff | 02:27 |
| Kamilion | looks like you might be able to resolve your problem with apt-get remove setserial | 02:28 |
| woof | subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 02:28 |
| woof | Errors were encountered while processing: | 02:28 |
| woof | setserial | 02:28 |
| woof | some other stuff pasted from terminal | 02:28 |
| Unit193 | Someone needs to provide more in a pastebin. | 02:29 |
| woof | whats a good terminal to install? | 02:40 |
| woof | xterm is not good on this laptop | 02:40 |
| ianorlyn | woof: I personally like sakura | 02:59 |
| ianorlyn | it gives more space on the command line and is configurable by right click | 03:00 |
| woof | ill try it | 03:00 |
| woof | i tried the commands from Kamilion and there are errors permission denied, are you root? | 03:08 |
| ianorlyn | woof: which commands ? | 03:08 |
| woof | apt-get remove setserial 'apt update && apt full-upgrade | 03:09 |
| ianorlyn | woof: you need sudo to use superuser permsionn to install or remove softare | 03:10 |
| woof | i type sudo at the front | 03:10 |
| ianorlyn | in front of each apt one other than apt-cache usually | 03:11 |
| ianorlyn | as it needs to run each as superuser | 03:11 |
| woof | ill run the last cmd separately | 03:12 |
| woof | running autoremove | 03:15 |
| woof | its in a loop generating grub configuration file | 03:17 |
| Kamilion | removing old kernel images | 03:18 |
| Kamilion | each time it runs the loop, one kernel has gone away... | 03:18 |
| woof | cool it finished | 03:18 |
| Kamilion | one time I had one that had ~40 kernels to autoremove | 03:18 |
| Kamilion | one of the downsides of having / and /boot on the same btrfs... ehehehehe... | 03:19 |
| woof | ok | 03:20 |
| ianorlyn | Kamilion: on btrfs is there something you need for isntalls alongside btrfs to add that isntall to the grub menu? | 03:20 |
| Kamilion | now installing gparted should go OK | 03:20 |
| Kamilion | ianorlin: nope, 'recent' mkgrub-whatever stuff knows about btrfs if it has a /boot | 03:20 |
| Kamilion | the only thing that's a good idea to have is btrfs-tools package so initramfs-tools complains that fsck.btrfs doesn't exist. | 03:21 |
| woof | says its already the newest version | 03:21 |
| woof | so i run gparted and it says its not installed | 03:22 |
| woof | restart and try | 03:24 |
| woof | have installed sakura seems much better :D | 03:30 |
| woof | what cmd should i use to run gparted, it still says not installed | 03:33 |
| Kamilion | woof: gparted shows up in the System Tools menu. | 03:40 |
| Kamilion | gparted-pkexec seems to be what the shortcut tries to execute. | 03:40 |
| woof | run that in terminal, i cant see it in system tools | 03:41 |
| Kamilion | or gksudo gparted | 03:42 |
| woof | damn more errors | 03:43 |
| woof | cant believe this | 03:44 |
| woof | its not even my laptop its my wifes. most fustrating esp since its the win8 partition that i need gparted for | 03:49 |
| woof | its a bugged uefi and booting any usb is a total nightmare | 03:50 |
| woof | when i run gparted now i get /usr/share/themes/Lubuntu-dark-panel/gtk-2.0/apps/thunar.rc:55: error: invalid string constant "thunar-statusbar", expected valid string constant | 04:02 |
| Kamilion | does the window come up? | 04:22 |
| Kamilion | i get a lot of those warning/error messages when I run GUI apps in a terminal. | 04:22 |
| woof | running software updater now | 04:33 |
| woof | I cant find any gparted shortcuts even though its installed | 04:37 |
| ianorlyn | woof: have you tried launching it in applications in pcmanfm? | 04:38 |
| woof | cant find it there | 04:38 |
| woof | it always gives the error in terminal /usr/share/themes/Lubuntu-dark-panel/gtk-2.0/apps/thunar.rc:55: error: invalid string constant "thunar-statusbar", expected valid string constant | 04:41 |
| ianorlyn | woof: that is a theme bug and not related to being unable to launch gparted | 04:42 |
| woof | ahh ok | 04:42 |
| woof | software centre shows it instaleled, ill try reinstall it | 04:43 |
| woof | gonna come back to this after some food :) | 04:46 |
| woof | ah yes now it reinstalled and shows in the system tools, and it works :D | 05:22 |
| woof | thanks you for your help | 05:23 |
| Kamilion | mmhm | 05:25 |
| Kamilion | here's some more advice | 05:25 |
| Kamilion | sudo apt-get install wajig | 05:25 |
| woof | yes | 05:25 |
| Kamilion | wajig dailyupgrade | 05:25 |
| Kamilion | (wajig will ask you if it needs to sudo.) | 05:25 |
| Kamilion | I <3 wajig. | 05:26 |
| Kamilion | best debian shortcut ever | 05:26 |
| woof | ill look it up | 05:26 |
| woof | I gtg now thanks again really happy to get it fixed | 05:29 |
| Testing | Hello. | 18:18 |
| Obituaryy | hi | 19:04 |
| Obituaryy | my lubuntu sometines crushes when i listen to music or see films, anybody please could tell me why, thanks in advance | 19:04 |
| ianorlyn | Obituaryy: what program are you using to listen to music or films audicaous gnome-mplayer? | 19:05 |
| ianorlyn | youtube? | 19:05 |
| Obituaryy | qmmp for music and vlc for video | 19:05 |
| ianorlyn | ah ok which format are the files you are playing | 19:06 |
| leszek | Obituaryy: check ram with memcheck on a live system. | 19:07 |
| Obituaryy | do i have to install it? | 19:07 |
| Obituaryy | i am running live now becouse i had peppermint and i dont like too much | 19:07 |
| leszek | nope it is on the live media already you need to start it from the live boot menu | 19:08 |
| ianorlyn | leszek: I think it is also installed as an option on grub | 19:08 |
| Obituaryy | ok, let me see, thanks a lot, its maybe a ram problem then? becouse i install it and reinstall it all the time and its the same problem | 19:08 |
| leszek | ianorlyn: never saw this on ubuntu based distros | 19:09 |
| Obituaryy | me either but it happens me a lot, all the time and dont know why | 19:09 |
| ianorlyn | leszek: I do but only because I have multiple linux installs in a dual boot | 19:09 |
| leszek | Obituaryy: it might be ram. It could be the graphics driver aswell. Its hard to tell with such vague error report | 19:09 |
| Obituaryy | how i iniciate memcheck | 19:10 |
| Obituaryy | do i have to iniciate in a shell? | 19:10 |
| Obituaryy | i know how it its, its from outside, before entering the so i think | 19:11 |
| Obituaryy | ? | 19:11 |
| Obituaryy | thanks a lot for you help | 19:14 |
| tsimonq2 | Can someone please make this possible in Lubuntu? XD https://debarshiray.wordpress.com/2015/09/10/google-drive-and-gnome-6-years-later/ | 22:16 |
| Kamilion | tsimonq2: it'll be possible as soon as gnome pulls that changeset. Probably 16.04 bound, though, since the freeze is already at hand. | 23:24 |
| tsimonq2 | Kamilion: I thought Lubuntu didn't have a feature freeze(at least that is what phillw told me)! | 23:32 |
| * Kamilion laughs | 23:32 | |
| Kamilion | just because the lubuntu team doesn't enforce it doesn't mean the canonical-run repositories are not run in that manner, outside of their direct control. | 23:33 |
| tsimonq2 | phillw! | 23:33 |
| tsimonq2 | Oh wait, he isn't in here | 23:33 |
| tsimonq2 | Someone bother him over at #phillw! | 23:33 |
| tsimonq2 | XD | 23:33 |
