| greeter | i have a question that i can't seem to find an answer to online. i want to upgrade to the latest ubuntu from 15.04 but i'm wondering what happens if i have to interrupt the download for some reason. do i just have to restart from the beginning or could worse things happen? | 02:42 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | Can't you just let it run all the way? It's not a great thing to happen, but the download stage is the best place to bail. You can recover from it more easily. | 02:45 |
| greeter | well i'd like to try that, but my internet connection is rather unreliable, and it can be really slow at times so i may have to let it go a long time | 02:46 |
| greeter | i know bad things happen if the actual upgrade is interrupted, not much i can do if there's a power failure but otherwise that shouldn't happen | 02:48 |
| greeter | i guess the best thing is to just try it, and then ask for help if i break things and can't fix them | 02:48 |
| Unit193 | If you do stop it, /etc/apt/sources.list will likely still say wily, when you're technically on vivid. I'd sed that back to vivid and do-release-upgrade again. | 02:50 |
| greeter | alrighty then | 02:50 |
| greeter | i'll let it go all night, with any luck that'll be long enough to fetch all the files | 02:51 |
| cimbakahn | How do you aquire Google Chrome? It is not in synaptic PM. Do you get it from Chrome's site, or is there a PPA? | 04:14 |
| Unit193 | Don't like Chromium? | 04:15 |
| cimbakahn | I don't like Chrome but i have to use it for awhile. | 04:16 |
| Unit193 | Chromium is in the repos, but you can also get Chrome from Google. | 04:16 |
| Unit193 | (https://www.google.com/chrome/_ | 04:16 |
| Unit193 | ) | 04:16 |
| cimbakahn | I am on the Google site right now. | 04:16 |
| cimbakahn | It reads: Note: Installing Google Chrome will add the Google repository so your system will automatically keep Google Chrome up to date. If you don’t want Google's repository, do “sudo touch /etc/default/google-chrome” before installing the package. What do i do? | 04:17 |
| greeter | well, for that question i asked a few hours ago, what happens if a do-release-upgrade download gets interrupted? you can continue it, it seems | 04:43 |
| Unit193 | greeter: Without changing sources.list? Nice! | 04:46 |
| greeter | seems to be working. when i ran the command again, it recognized that i had downloaded just shy of 1 gb of data thus far, and it resumed where the download got cut off | 04:46 |
| greeter | ah, there's one caveat i guess. it had to restart the package i was working on, which unfortunately by itself was nearly finished a 584 mb download, but it could be a lot worse, i'm still pleased :-) | 04:59 |
| julien_ | hello | 11:32 |
| julien_ | is there anybody here ? | 11:33 |
| hateball | julien_: A few, do you have a question? | 11:34 |
| julien_ | yes | 11:36 |
| julien_ | i installed lubuntu and there's no "paquets" in synaptic | 11:36 |
| julien_ | id like to install the french translation of firefox for example | 11:37 |
| julien_ | in fact there's nothing in synaptic ... | 11:38 |
| hateball | julien_: run this in a terminal "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox-locale-fr" | 11:38 |
| hateball | julien_: do you have a working internet connection? | 11:38 |
| julien_ | yes | 11:39 |
| julien_ | i installed Libreoffice by using the "software collection" not by synaptic | 11:39 |
| julien_ | "logithèque lunbuntu" (software lubuntu collection) is working | 11:40 |
| julien_ | i tried with the terminal but it says : unable to find mozilla-firefox-fr-fr | 11:42 |
| hateball | julien_: Did you try with what I typed? | 11:43 |
| hateball | Or did you just try and find a package named mozilla-firefox-fr-fr which does not exist | 11:43 |
| julien_ | sorry i didn't see | 11:45 |
| julien_ | i try | 11:45 |
| julien_ | yes something is happening :) | 11:47 |
| julien_ | updating sources i suppose | 11:47 |
| julien_ | updating ok but firefox-locale-fr doesn't work | 11:47 |
| julien_ | i made a mistake | 11:48 |
| julien_ | it works | 11:50 |
| julien_ | not 100% translated but its better | 11:51 |
| hateball | well there are more packages you will want for proper translations | 11:53 |
| hateball | julien_: run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and upgrade anything it wants, then reboot if needed, see if Synaptic behaves better after that | 11:53 |
| julien_ | thanks | 11:54 |
| julien_ | synaptic is ok | 11:54 |
| julien_ | a part of the window was hidden ... | 11:54 |
| julien_ | thanks a lot! | 11:55 |
| julien_ | (I'll give that old pc to a children who's got problems at school, hope he'll enjoy :) | 11:56 |
| hateball | julien_: :) | 11:57 |
| hateball | julien_: you could "sudo apt-get install language-pack-fr" | 11:57 |
| hateball | if something perhaps is missing | 11:58 |
| julien_ | thanks | 12:02 |
| julien_ | do you think chromium should be better than firefox ? | 12:03 |
| hateball | julien_: For what? | 12:06 |
| hateball | It's all personal preference really | 12:07 |
| hateball | Chromium does have support for more recent flash, if you install pepperflashplugin-nonfree | 12:07 |
| julien_ | for faster launch | 12:07 |
| hateball | And it feels faster on the hardware I use at least. Firefox has it's pro's too | 12:07 |
| julien_ | firefox is quite long to launch | 12:08 |
| julien_ | to start | 12:08 |
| julien_ | but it may be normal | 12:08 |
| julien_ | hateball : thanks again and goodbye | 12:23 |

| tachibana | i swear to god man 20% of the time i run a youtube video in firefox ever since an update and restart my browser crashes and I have to reload the vid all over again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 23:18 |
| wxl | are you using html5 tachibana? as i understand it, firefox ain't too friendly to flash anymore. | 23:18 |
| tachibana | i hate html5 | 23:19 |
| tachibana | back in my day we used real languages | 23:19 |
| wxl | well, according to firefox, that's your problem | 23:19 |
| wxl | maybe try chrome | 23:19 |
| ianorlin | tachibana why not copy paste into vlc | 23:19 |
| wxl | that too | 23:19 |
| tachibana | >chrome | 23:20 |
| ianorlin | it actually works quite well in that once you switch to vlc press control n to bring up keyboard shortcuts and control v to paste | 23:20 |
| tachibana | Does everyone use Opera now a days o what | 23:21 |
| tachibana | or* | 23:21 |
| * wxl uses chrome | 23:21 | |
| tachibana | kind of defeats the purpose of using Lubuntu and Lxde if your using a UI that drains all the processing power and memory just to switch tabs | 23:21 |
| wxl | i don't have that problem | 23:22 |
| ianorlin | tachibana: you could maybe use qupzilla | 23:22 |
| HeadlessHorseman | wxl: What's wrong with FF and flash? Not blacklisted here. | 23:22 |
| HeadlessHorseman | Uses a sandbox to not crash the browser. | 23:23 |
| HeadlessHorseman | !info browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash | 23:24 |
| ubottu | browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash (source: freshplayerplugin): PPAPI-host NPAPI-plugin adapter for pepperflash. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.3.2-1 (wily), package size 218 kB, installed size 611 kB | 23:24 |
| wxl | HeadlessHorseman: http://gizmodo.com/firefox-now-blocks-flash-by-default-1717664482 | 23:24 |
| HeadlessHorseman | Not seeing that on wily. | 23:25 |
| tachibana | im not even using that old of a computer and chrome still is a major memory hog | 23:26 |
| wxl | even if you don't see the problem, i think that the writing is on the wall for firefox and flash | 23:26 |
| wxl | tachibana: like i said, i don't have that problem. not sure what to tell you. | 23:26 |
| tachibana | I am using a circa windows Vista -days laptop | 23:27 |
| wxl | i've got a bunch of tabs and extensions and all kinds of crap and it's taking about a gig | 23:28 |
| HeadlessHorseman | wxl: Right, which is why browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash is a good backup plan. | 23:29 |
| wxl | running firefox right now with only one tab and no extension is taking over a gig | 23:32 |
| wxl | if you ask me, that's not a check in the firefox column, tachibana | 23:33 |
| wxl | HeadlessHorseman: potentially. unttil they decide they don't trust that either :) | 23:33 |
| HeadlessHorseman | wxl: ...What addons?! Mine's not that bad with 16 tabs! | 23:33 |
| wxl | HeadlessHorseman: none | 23:34 |
| wxl | in any case, we've had the browser war about a billion times in the mailing list | 23:35 |
| wxl | my feeling is use what you like | 23:35 |
| HeadlessHorseman | 352MB, no swap. And yeah, it's all very subjective. Though I think we all agree, adblocker. | 23:36 |
| wxl | ADP+HTTPS Everywhere+Privacy Badger | 23:36 |
| wxl | hahahhahah so i lied | 23:39 |
| wxl | the chrome browser is gobbling up about the same amount of ram as firefox is | 23:39 |
| wxl | of course all its extensions and tabs are more, but, that's about the same same | 23:40 |
| tachibana | so I got this site I like to go on but it's got some weird script that leaves an annoying popup if I got adblock on | 23:44 |
| wxl | that's probably a good sign not to go there XD | 23:45 |
| tachibana | I need to figure out how to script that crap out with like greasemonkey or something | 23:45 |
| tachibana | I also heard about an adblock hack where it echanges all banners and ads with anime girls, where do I find that gold | 23:46 |
| wxl | 4chan | 23:47 |
| tachibana | and have you guys seen that lubuntu shell columns and start bar themer mod to rice it out with even more anime girls? | 23:47 |
| tachibana | triggered | 23:48 |
| * wxl hasn't been searching for anime girl themes… lately | 23:49 | |
| tachibana | bruh what type of themes do you even search for | 23:50 |
| tachibana | I bet you keep your openbox stock | 23:51 |
| * wxl doesn't use openbox | 23:52 | |
| tachibana | i bet your lubuntu bar is powder blue | 23:52 |
| * wxl doesn't use lxpanel | 23:52 | |
| tachibana | pics | 23:53 |
| wxl | i use awesome wm | 23:53 |
| wxl | it's a tiling window manager, so it's not for everyone, tachibana | 23:57 |
| wxl | heck, i can't even see my background | 23:57 |
| wxl | tiling window managers, as a rule, tend ot be kind of anti-theme :) | 23:58 |
| wxl | i think this is largely to appease people that tend ot be power cli users | 23:58 |
| wxl | most days, my desktop doesn't look very different than this: | 23:58 |
