| nova_ | why did pkexec replace gksudo? | 03:49 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | More "secure" | 03:54 |
| nova_ | from what I understand it's not a great replacement for gksudo as it doesn't allow you to run graphic programs by default | 03:56 |
| Unit193 | But, gksudo lets the program run rampent. | 03:57 |
| nova_ | as an example the system-config-samba package is a GUI that needs to be run as root. I've always had to change it's menu entries to use kdesudo for KDE, gksudo, etc. It seems that pkexec is not a drop in replacement | 03:58 |
| nova_ | isnt the point of running a program as root to let it run rampant? | 03:59 |
| nova_ | A page im reading now on askubuntu is explaining that that to use pkexec with a specific application you can create a policykit file for it, or theres a way to enable all x11 programs to run rampent with pkexec, or the other option is to install gksudo. Which is the best option? | 04:02 |
| nova_ | I know i can just use /etc/samba/smb.conf and smbpasswd and google everything to remind myself how to share a folder...but a simple GUI makes it easier. | 04:06 |

| xubuntu50w | Hi all! I use Xubuntu 15.04 x64. Chromium runs *really* slow when the hardware acceleration is on. When it is off, Chromium is really choppy... | 11:22 |
| xubuntu50w | Any idea what could be causing this and how to solve it? | 11:22 |

| FernandoBasso | What does ^ mean in apt-get install lamp-server^ ? | 22:43 |
| Unit193 | Means lamp-server is a task, not a package. | 22:43 |
| FernandoBasso | Okay, I took a quick glance at man apt-get but didn't seem to find related info. | 22:46 |
| FernandoBasso | Thanks a lot. | 22:46 |
| Unit193 | Yeah I'm not sure a good place that option is documented. Basically it means you're doing apt-get install $package for each package listed in the task. It's nice because you can then specifically select which of the alt depends you get, unlike with metapackages. | 22:47 |
| FernandoBasso | Unit193: I am a long time arch linux user. | 22:49 |
| FernandoBasso | I'm a little disappointed with a particular situation. | 22:49 |
| FernandoBasso | I do apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, for instance, but I can't uninstall it completely using the same "name". | 22:49 |
| FernandoBasso | I am running xubuntu and I don't plan to uninstall xfce, but I remember trying this some time ago. | 22:50 |
| FernandoBasso | Now, I installed lamp-server and realized it comes with mysql, but I want mariadb... | 22:50 |
| Unit193 | Try apt-get autoremove xubuntu-desktop doesn't exactly work but sometimes may help. | 22:50 |
| FernandoBasso | How do I uninstall everything? | 22:50 |
| FernandoBasso | I did apt-get purge lamp-server and it wanted to uninstall even xfce components... | 22:51 |
| FernandoBasso | So strange. | 22:51 |
| Unit193 | Best way? Create a chroot with what you need, then simulate an xubuntu-desktop and purge all those packages from a real system. | 22:52 |
| FernandoBasso | I see. Still, pacman is way easier in this particular respect. | 22:52 |
| Unit193 | Also, nothing in xfce depends on lamp-server, so perhaps you mean 'no longer needed' lists? | 22:53 |
| FernandoBasso | Unit193: Perhaps. I just mentioned that by running that command I saw it wanted to also remove some xfce things. | 22:54 |
| FernandoBasso | Unit193: Thanks for the info and help. I'll prepare dinner for my children now. See ya. | 23:04 |
