[03:49] <nova_> why did pkexec replace gksudo?
[03:54] <Unit193> More "secure"
[03:56] <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
[03:57] <Unit193> But, gksudo lets the program run rampent.
[03:58] <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
[03:59] <nova_> isnt the point of running a program as root to let it run rampant?
[04:02] <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?
[04:06] <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.
[07:39] <xubuntu12> hello, anybody have idea regarding this error "The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/."
[11:02] <rsajdok> hi, how to switch to the core version of xubuntu? I have 15.04 version
[11:22] <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?
[17:31] <jilocasin0> afternoon all....
[17:33] <jilocasin0> does anyone know how to get a liveDVD to boot into Xubuntu on an Intel iMac?
[18:50] <ronin>  sudo gem install vimgolf
[18:50] <ronin> ERROR:  Error installing vimgolf: highline requires Ruby version >= 1.9.3.
[18:50] <ronin> before that I installed package ruby1.9.3
[22:43] <FernandoBasso> What does ^ mean in apt-get install lamp-server^  ?
[22:43] <Unit193> Means lamp-server is a task, not a package.
[22:46] <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.
[22:47] <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.
[22:49] <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".
[22:50] <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?
[22:51] <FernandoBasso> I did apt-get purge lamp-server and it wanted to uninstall even xfce components...
[22:51] <FernandoBasso> So strange.
[22:52] <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.
[22:53] <Unit193> Also, nothing in xfce depends on lamp-server, so perhaps you mean 'no longer needed' lists?
[22:54] <FernandoBasso> Unit193: Perhaps. I just mentioned that by running that command I saw it wanted to also remove some xfce things.
[23:04] <FernandoBasso> Unit193: Thanks for the info and help. I'll prepare dinner for my children now. See ya.
