| CooloutAC | holstein: i saw that thread, none of those options work for me | 00:33 |
|---|---|---|
| CooloutAC | i have no whoopsie in /etc/default, and apt-get purge or remove wants to remove lubuntu | 00:33 |
| CooloutAC | i also don't see a system settings,privac, diagnostics option in lxde | 00:34 |
| ianorlyn | CooloutAC: you are on 15.04 at least right | 00:54 |
| CooloutAC | ianorlyn: ya | 00:54 |
| ianorlyn | think documentation might not have been updated for systemd yet | 00:54 |
| ianorlyn | maybe try sudo systemctl disable whoopsie.service | 00:54 |
| CooloutAC | ya tried it | 00:55 |
| ianorlyn | did not work? | 00:56 |
| CooloutAC | no, well I didn't put .service not sure that would matter | 00:56 |
| CooloutAC | i did do sudo stop whoopsie which went through | 00:56 |
| CooloutAC | but it was still running when i did service --status-all | 00:56 |

| randomuser_ | Just wondering if anyone can help me. Installed Lubuntu 14.04.3 and everything is fine except that I can't connect to a PPTP VPN server. I can do it with my Windows box. Here's my var/log/syslog: http://pastebin.com/Ns6dxkKa | 12:09 |
| phillw | tsimonq2: you rang? | 12:19 |
| tsimonq2 | randomuser_: You would probably get better help over at #ubuntu | 12:19 |
| tsimonq2 | randomuser_: On this specific subject | 12:19 |
| randomuser_ | tsimonq2: thanks for responding. I did that, didn't get any reply, or at least not yet. I may need to ask this in reddit. | 12:24 |
| phillw | randomuser_: please repeat the question, tsimonq2 called me in to see if i could be of assistance. | 12:27 |
| randomuser_ | phillw: wow thanks! I Installed Lubuntu 14.04.3 64-bit and everything is fine except that I can't connect to a PPTP VPN server. I can do it with my Windows box http://pastebin.com/Ns6dxkKa | 12:29 |
| randomuser_ | the pastebin is my /var/log/syslog | 12:29 |
| phillw | randomuser_: this is pretty recent post, and certainly worth a read and possible try.. http://askubuntu.com/questions/642456/cant-connect-to-pptp-vpn-server | 12:31 |
| randomuser_ | phillw: i actually did that and still got the same problem | 12:32 |
| phillw | randomuser_: then have a read of http://blog.geeky.name/post/2011/03/17/PPTP%3A-Ubuntu-Client-connect-to-Windows-VPN-Server | 12:33 |
| randomuser_ | also did that :( | 12:34 |
| Kamilion | randomuser_: the error message is pretty clear | 12:34 |
| randomuser_ | i also made sure there's no whitespace int he gatewat address section as there seems to be a bug with whitespaces | 12:34 |
| Kamilion | "invalid gateway 'gateway'" | 12:34 |
| randomuser_ | just this morning i actually tried the 32-bit version inside vmware workstation (from a different place, tho) and it worked without problem | 12:35 |
| randomuser_ | i may need to try 32-bit on this machine to make sure this only happens to 64-bit version... | 12:36 |
| Kamilion | PPTP is quite finicky | 12:37 |
| Kamilion | randomuser_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/620748/pptp-vpn-not-working-on-ubuntu-15-04-but-works-on-ubuntu-14-04-10 | 12:38 |

| randomuser_ | are they the same bug? seems like it shows up with different error msg | 12:41 |
| randomuser_ | k i'll whip up both 32-bot and 64-bit in vm and see if i encounter same prob\ | 12:43 |
| Kamilion | not the same bug, but the gnome bug was linked in the comments of the launchpad bug | 12:52 |
| randomuser_ | hmmm interesting | 14:00 |
| randomuser_ | both 32-bit and 64-bit have the same problem | 14:01 |
| randomuser_ | i'm starting to suspect i broke something when i uninstall a lot of apps after fresh install | 14:01 |
| Kamilion | randomuser_: possible. | 14:54 |
| Kamilion | I do the same thing. | 14:54 |
| Kamilion | kill off abiword and gnumeric | 14:54 |
| Kamilion | as well as a bunch of media libraries I don't need on a server | 14:54 |
| osvarelar | hello | 14:55 |
| Kamilion | o/ | 14:57 |
| randomuser_ | ok i tried them again n double checked. Fresh i386 would connect, amd64 wouldn't | 15:08 |
| Kamilion | huh. | 15:09 |
| Kamilion | as I said, PPTP is quite finicky :/ | 15:10 |
| Kamilion | https://github.com/pritunl paired with some modifications to the https://github.com/proxysh clients would probably work out better. | 15:12 |
| Kamilion | or, well, just use putty/kitty and SSH forwarding from windows, and SSH VPN from other *nixs | 15:12 |
| Kamilion | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VPN_over_SSH <--- one of the better guides | 15:13 |
| teward | Kamilion: 15.04 PPTP not working or something? | 15:15 |
| * teward pulls up his 15.04 env | 15:15 | |
| Kamilion | randomuser_'s experience seems to indicate so | 15:15 |
| randomuser_ | i'm using 14.04.3 | 15:15 |
| teward | hmm | 15:15 |
| teward | randomuser_: and you experience the issue there? | 15:16 |
| randomuser_ | yes. but it only applies to the 64-bit version | 15:16 |
| teward | thankfully i have a 14.04 VM I can test on | 15:17 |
| teward | AND a known-to-work PPTP VPN server :P | 15:17 |
| randomuser_ | haven't used irc for a while now. modern emoji for irc would be nice | 15:18 |
| randomuser_ | can | 15:19 |
| randomuser_ | cant do a thumbs up | 15:19 |
| teward | randomuser_: give me a minute to update the VM, been a while since it's been running (so I'm pulling in all the updates). It's a 14.04.2 system but once upgrades to packages are done it should match, i think | 15:20 |
| * teward is also downloading a .3 ISO now | 15:20 | |
| randomuser_ | ok. Thanks for your trouble! | 15:20 |
| teward | no trouble at all | 15:20 |
| teward | i'm also testing my RPi with the same setup, HOPEFULLY it works :P | 15:20 |
| teward | (because 15.04, although not Lubuntu :/) | 15:20 |
| teward | (network manager is still network manager xD0 | 15:21 |
| teward | randomuser_: i don't have all the scrollback, what do you see when you try to VPN? | 15:21 |
| randomuser_ | http://pastebin.com/Ns6dxkKa | 15:21 |
| teward | installing VPn plugins now lol | 15:26 |
| teward | then a VM restart for the kernel :) | 15:26 |
| teward | randomuser_: i can't replicate from here... :/ | 15:34 |
| randomuser_ | :( | 15:35 |
| randomuser_ | which packages did you install to enable your pptp connection? | 15:35 |
| teward | network-manager-pptp and dependencies. I can't establish PPTP connection at all though... give me a second | 15:38 |
| teward | tail your entire syslog though | 15:39 |
| teward | because pptp and pppd give data | 15:39 |
| teward | looks like even good pptp connections aren't working in Lubuntu 14.04.2 | 15:45 |
| teward | let me test my main Ubuntu | 15:46 |
| teward | brb | 15:46 |
| randomuser_ | http://pastebin.com/GTcddEyQ | 15:50 |
| teward | randomuser_: i hate to ask, but why pptp? | 16:01 |
| randomuser_ | yeah, i figured the question will pop out. Unfortunately the vpn server is out side my control | 16:02 |
| teward | allow me to point out the idiocy of PPTP since MSCHAP and other encrypted auth methods, (others are plaintext on PPTP) are cracked | 16:03 |
| teward | randomuser_: well, even with a valid server, I can't get PPTP to connect. TBH I like OpenVPN better :P | 16:04 |
| randomuser_ | i guess this has to wait until at least next year to resolve | 16:06 |
| randomuser_ | the vpn server is a friend's router. i believe it won't run openvpn. Gotta wait until i fly there and either mod the router or replace it. | 16:09 |
| teward | randomuser_: so, just using it to proxy? | 16:10 |
| teward | or to get into their net lol | 16:10 |
| randomuser_ | yeah, mostly to buy games | 16:11 |
| randomuser_ | internet infrastructure there is really slow anyway. | 16:12 |
| randomuser_ | going to sleep now. Thanks guys for the inputs! | 16:37 |

| Freddie_Mercury | So I installed the Typhoon weather widget on Lubuntu 14.04 LTS; however, whener I run it, it takes up a space in the task bar as if it were a full program and not just a widget confined to the desktop. | 16:52 |
| Freddie_Mercury | How do I fix that? | 16:52 |
| Freddie_Mercury | http://www.noobslab.com/2014/05/typhoon-conky-alternative-widget.html <<< This is what I got. | 16:52 |
| wxl | afaik, that's a problem with the widget, Freddie_Mercury | 16:52 |
| Freddie_Mercury | I see, wxl. | 16:53 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Thing is, I watched people on YouTube giving instructions on how to download it, and their widget seems to behave like a widget should. o.0 | 16:53 |
| Freddie_Mercury | It's what confuses me. | 16:53 |
| wxl | on lubuntu? | 16:54 |
| wxl | and/or on a system with lxde? | 16:54 |
| Freddie_Mercury | No, iirc this was vanilla Ubuntu with GNOME and Unity. | 16:55 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Is that important? | 16:55 |
| wxl | absolutely essential. | 16:55 |
| Freddie_Mercury | o.o | 16:55 |
| Freddie_Mercury | I see. | 16:55 |
| wxl | if you get ubuntu it will work fine XD | 16:55 |
| Freddie_Mercury | ...there's an issue with that; I kind of want to avoid Unity. | 16:56 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Maybe I'll try on Xubuntu, I dunno. | 16:56 |
| wxl | i doubt it will be much better | 16:56 |
| wxl | it's probably made for gnome | 16:56 |
| wxl | most are, in general | 16:56 |
| Freddie_Mercury | ._. | 16:56 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Is this why when I tried Conky it was buggy as hell? | 16:57 |
| wxl | nope | 16:57 |
| Freddie_Mercury | ._. | 16:57 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Anyway, I'm checking out another weather widget: http://www.noobslab.com/2015/04/gis-weather-widget-updated-and-now.html | 17:05 |
| Freddie_Mercury | This one seems to work better. | 17:05 |
| wxl | Freddie_Mercury: yay! yeah. that's kind of the problem with the different desktop environments. they don't share the same pieces and those that do don't necessarily work the same way. | 17:06 |
| wxl | Freddie_Mercury: a good widget developer thinks about all of them, but that's sometimes asking too much XD | 17:06 |
| Freddie_Mercury | wtf? Now this widget disappears when I iconify all windows. :| | 17:06 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Why does the *widget* disappear? | 17:06 |
| wxl | that's utterly bizarre | 17:07 |
| wxl | again a widget problem :( | 17:07 |
| Freddie_Mercury | xD | 17:07 |
| phillw | Freddie_Mercury: use the weather applet that comes with lubuntu :) | 17:13 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Where is that. | 17:14 |
| phillw | Freddie_Mercury: right click on the task bar, Add / Remove Panel Items, Panel Applets, Add .... select weather applet and configure, click 'add' then use the up / Down to position it where you want it | 17:15 |
| phillw | You'll find lots of little applets that you can add without having to try adding other stuff on top of the system :) | 17:16 |
| Freddie_Mercury | phillw: Wow. O.O | 17:24 |
| Freddie_Mercury | This is all new to me. | 17:24 |
| Freddie_Mercury | phillw, there's a small issue; apparently, there's no 'weather applet' option when I press "Add"... | 17:27 |
| Freddie_Mercury | phillw: This is what I see. http://i.imgur.com/Qo3L9lN.png | 17:27 |
| phillw | Ahh, must not be in your version :( | 17:30 |
| Freddie_Mercury | I use Lubuntu 14.04 LTS. | 17:30 |
| phillw | I'm on a newer version | 17:32 |
| Freddie_Mercury | 15.04? | 17:32 |
| phillw | 15.10 ... I'm a tester, not sure when weather applet was added though. | 17:32 |
| Freddie_Mercury | I don't understand; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/917360 << This is a bug from a Lubuntu version from a while ago. | 17:32 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 917360 in lubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) "weather applet doesn't show temperature Lubuntu" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 17:32 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Ubuntu 12.10 is what one of the persons there reports. | 17:33 |
| Freddie_Mercury | So, what, they removed it, and put it back...? | 17:33 |
| phillw | or it got fixed and re-added. | 17:33 |
| Freddie_Mercury | Maybe that bug made them remove it. | 17:34 |
| Freddie_Mercury | And now it's fixed and back in your version. | 17:34 |
| phillw | if it is working in 15.10 it will be included in 16.04 LTS which you will be able to upgrade to when it comes out. | 17:34 |
| Freddie_Mercury | lol | 17:34 |
| Freddie_Mercury | "When it comes out". | 17:34 |
| Freddie_Mercury | That will ... take a bit. :P | 17:34 |
| phillw | no clean way to go from 14.04 to 15.10 ... Sorry. | 17:34 |
| Freddie_Mercury | I know. ._. | 17:35 |
| Freddie_Mercury | But, it's OK. This is a production/service laptop, not a testing machine. | 17:35 |
| Freddie_Mercury | I needed a stable version. | 17:35 |
| ibouvousaime_ | how can I disable the alt+click and drag shortcut to move windows ? | 18:11 |
| suncokret | hello... when i change and rewrite some shortcut in "/usr/share/applications", how can i refresh shortcuts menu? | 20:58 |
| noahmg123 | I am having trouble pairing my Bluetooth headset. I can connect to the headset service but no sound outputs to the headset | 21:36 |
| ianorlyn | suncokret: I know a reboot or logging back out and logging back in will probably work but not sure what exactly you need to restart | 21:37 |
| wxl | i know there are different profiles for bluetooth | 21:38 |
| wxl | the headset needs to have the right profile in order for it to work as intended | 21:38 |
| wxl | perhaps it doesn't see what it expects? | 21:39 |
| wxl | noahmg123: ↑ | 21:39 |
| wxl | i actually have a bluetooth speaker that doesn't work with my laptop for that reason | 21:39 |
| suncokret | so i need to log out? | 21:39 |
| wxl | my phones see it fine | 21:39 |
| suncokret | i can't refresh it without log out? | 21:39 |
| noahmg123 | wxl: I am not sure what you mean. What should I do? | 21:39 |
| wxl | noahmg123: what i'm saying is i'm not sure you'll be able to do anything. however, the issue is not necessarly lubuntu-specific. you may want to check with the folks at #ubuntu and see if they can provide any help. | 21:40 |
| noahmg123 | wxl: ok. Also, I have the issue now that youtube videos (or any other web players) will not play at all. they display, but do not go forward. This happened on my laptop whenever I run jack but jack is not running on this computer. What should I do? | 21:42 |
| noahmg123 | A restart normally fixes it but I do not want to do that. | 21:42 |
| wxl | !alsamixer | 21:42 |
| wxl | fooey | 21:42 |
| wxl | noahmg123: well, alsamixer | 21:42 |
| noahmg123 | wxl: what about it? Run the command? | 21:43 |
| wxl | noahmg123: that's your sound server, so yep. | 21:43 |
| noahmg123 | ok wait a minute. I may just have to restart chrome. I'll try that soon. | 21:44 |
| suncokret | how can i set working directory for some program in shorcut in /usr/share/applications? some programs which are not installed work fine with app shortcut, and some have errors to find files which are in directory where are program | 21:49 |
| wxl | hello | 22:04 |
| wxl | oops | 22:04 |
