[00:16] <woof> hi
[00:18] <woof> im trying to use gparted on my lubuntu install but its different to gparted im used to
[00:40] <tsimonq2> woof: If it seems different, launch it from the terminal as you may be referencing a different package
[01:25] <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.
[01:28] <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
[01:34] <Kamilion> huh
[01:35] <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?
[01:39] <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.
[01:40] <Kamilion> I've seen a lot of it's error messages over the last eight years
[01:41] <woof> ok thanks ive been on linux a few years but not really a technical user and im more familiar with debian
[01:42] <Kamilion> i maintain a lubuntu-derived live ISO, so I'm reasonably comfortable with technical stuff and the process of discovery.
[01:44] <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.
[01:45] <woof> ok ill put it online just a minute
[01:52] <woof> i cant get the text from the xterm window to copy to clipboard
[01:53] <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
[01:54] <iynque> ctrl+shift+C might work
[01:54] <woof> k
[01:55] <woof> nope
[01:55] <iynque> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[01:55] <woof> taking a break, back in a min
[01:56] <woof> *shruggs lol
[01:58] <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.
[01:59] <iynque> whelp...
[01:59] <Unit193> That's the 'select' buffer, so should generally be alright.
[01:59]  * iynque excuses himself to not-know elsewhere :
[02:02] <woof> well that didnt copy
[02:04] <Kamilion> whoops, sorry, got a little distracted
[02:05] <woof> it says... update-rc.d: error: unable to read /etc/init.d/setserial
[02:07] <woof> dpkg: error processing package setserial (--configure):
[02:20] <woof> searching google but not hopefull
[02:23] <Kamilion> uh, okay
[02:23] <Kamilion> does /etc/init.d/setseria* exist?
[02:24] <Kamilion> ls -al /etc/ini*/setseria*
[02:25] <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?
[02:26] <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
[02:27] <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
[02:28] <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
[02:29] <Unit193> Someone needs to provide more in a pastebin.
[02:40] <woof> whats a good terminal to install?
[02:40] <woof> xterm is not good on this laptop
[02:59] <ianorlyn> woof: I personally like sakura
[03:00] <ianorlyn> it gives more space on the command line and is configurable by right click
[03:00] <woof> ill try it
[03:08] <woof> i tried the commands from Kamilion and there are errors permission denied, are you root?
[03:08] <ianorlyn> woof: which commands ?
[03:09] <woof>  apt-get remove setserial  'apt update && apt full-upgrade
[03:10] <ianorlyn> woof: you need sudo to use superuser permsionn to install or remove softare
[03:10] <woof> i type sudo at the front
[03:11] <ianorlyn> in front of each apt one other than apt-cache usually
[03:11] <ianorlyn> as it needs to run each as superuser
[03:12] <woof> ill run the last cmd separately
[03:15] <woof> running autoremove
[03:17] <woof> its in a loop generating grub configuration file
[03:18] <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
[03:19] <Kamilion> one of the downsides of having / and /boot on the same btrfs... ehehehehe...
[03:20] <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
[03:21] <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
[03:22] <woof> so i run gparted and it says its not installed
[03:24] <woof> restart and try
[03:30] <woof> have installed sakura seems much better :D
[03:33] <woof> what cmd should i use to run gparted, it still says not installed
[03:40] <Kamilion> woof: gparted shows up in the System Tools menu.
[03:40] <Kamilion> gparted-pkexec seems to be what the shortcut tries to execute.
[03:41] <woof> run that in terminal, i cant see it in system tools
[03:42] <Kamilion> or gksudo gparted
[03:43] <woof> damn more errors
[03:44] <woof> cant believe this
[03:49] <woof> its not even my laptop its my wifes. most fustrating esp since its the win8 partition that i need gparted for
[03:50] <woof> its a bugged uefi and booting any usb is a total nightmare
[04:02] <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
[04:22] <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.
[04:33] <woof> running software updater now
[04:37] <woof> I  cant find any gparted shortcuts even though its installed
[04:38] <ianorlyn> woof: have you tried launching it in applications in pcmanfm?
[04:38] <woof> cant find it there
[04:41] <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
[04:42] <ianorlyn> woof: that is a theme bug and not related to being unable to launch gparted
[04:42] <woof> ahh ok
[04:43] <woof> software centre shows it instaleled, ill try reinstall it
[04:46] <woof> gonna come back to this after some food :)
[05:22] <woof> ah yes now it reinstalled and shows in the system tools, and it works :D
[05:23] <woof> thanks you for your help
[05:25] <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.)
[05:26] <Kamilion> I <3 wajig.
[05:26] <Kamilion> best debian shortcut ever
[05:26] <woof> ill look it up
[05:29] <woof> I gtg now thanks again really happy to get it fixed
[18:18] <Testing> Hello.
[19:04] <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
[19:05] <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
[19:06] <ianorlyn> ah ok which format are the files you are playing
[19:07] <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
[19:08] <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
[19:09] <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
[19:10] <Obituaryy> how i iniciate memcheck
[19:10] <Obituaryy> do i have to iniciate in a shell?
[19:11] <Obituaryy> i know how it its, its from outside, before entering the so i think
[19:11] <Obituaryy> ?
[19:14] <Obituaryy> thanks a lot for you help
[22:16] <tsimonq2> Can someone please make this possible in Lubuntu? XD https://debarshiray.wordpress.com/2015/09/10/google-drive-and-gnome-6-years-later/
[23:24] <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.
[23:32] <tsimonq2> Kamilion: I thought Lubuntu didn't have a feature freeze(at least that is what phillw told me)!
[23:32]  * Kamilion laughs
[23:33] <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
