[02:42] 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? [02:45] 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. [02:46] 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 [02:48] 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] i guess the best thing is to just try it, and then ask for help if i break things and can't fix them [02:50] 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] alrighty then [02:51] i'll let it go all night, with any luck that'll be long enough to fetch all the files [04:14] 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? [04:15] Don't like Chromium? [04:16] I don't like Chrome but i have to use it for awhile. [04:16] Chromium is in the repos, but you can also get Chrome from Google. [04:16] (https://www.google.com/chrome/_ [04:16] ) [04:16] I am on the Google site right now. [04:17] 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? [04:43] 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 [04:46] greeter: Without changing sources.list? Nice! [04:46] 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 [04:59] 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 :-) [11:32] hello [11:33] is there anybody here ? [11:34] julien_: A few, do you have a question? [11:36] yes [11:36] i installed lubuntu and there's no "paquets" in synaptic [11:37] id like to install the french translation of firefox for example [11:38] in fact there's nothing in synaptic ... [11:38] julien_: run this in a terminal "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox-locale-fr" [11:38] julien_: do you have a working internet connection? [11:39] yes [11:39] i installed Libreoffice by using the "software collection" not by synaptic [11:40] "logithèque lunbuntu" (software lubuntu collection) is working [11:42] i tried with the terminal but it says : unable to find mozilla-firefox-fr-fr [11:43] julien_: Did you try with what I typed? [11:43] Or did you just try and find a package named mozilla-firefox-fr-fr which does not exist [11:45] sorry i didn't see [11:45] i try [11:47] yes something is happening :) [11:47] updating sources i suppose [11:47] updating ok but firefox-locale-fr doesn't work [11:48] i made a mistake [11:50] it works [11:51] not 100% translated but its better [11:53] well there are more packages you will want for proper translations [11:53] 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 [11:54] thanks [11:54] synaptic is ok [11:54] a part of the window was hidden ... [11:55] thanks a lot! [11:56] (I'll give that old pc to a children who's got problems at school, hope he'll enjoy :) [11:57] julien_: :) [11:57] julien_: you could "sudo apt-get install language-pack-fr" [11:58] if something perhaps is missing [12:02] thanks [12:03] do you think chromium should be better than firefox ? [12:06] julien_: For what? [12:07] It's all personal preference really [12:07] Chromium does have support for more recent flash, if you install pepperflashplugin-nonfree [12:07] for faster launch [12:07] And it feels faster on the hardware I use at least. Firefox has it's pro's too [12:08] firefox is quite long to launch [12:08] to start [12:08] but it may be normal [12:23] hateball : thanks again and goodbye === genii is now known as zombiegenii === zombiegenii is now known as genii === genii is now known as zombiegenii === zombiegenii is now known as genii === genii is now known as zombiegenii === zombiegenii is now known as genii === genii is now known as zombiegenii === zombiegenii is now known as genii === benonsoftware is now known as MisterHiyas === Unit193 is now known as HeadlessHorseman [23:18] 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] are you using html5 tachibana? as i understand it, firefox ain't too friendly to flash anymore. [23:19] i hate html5 [23:19] back in my day we used real languages [23:19] well, according to firefox, that's your problem [23:19] maybe try chrome [23:19] tachibana why not copy paste into vlc [23:19] that too [23:20] >chrome [23:20] 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 [23:21] Does everyone use Opera now a days o what [23:21] or* [23:21] * wxl uses chrome [23:21] 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 [23:22] i don't have that problem [23:22] tachibana: you could maybe use qupzilla [23:22] wxl: What's wrong with FF and flash?

[23:26] im not even using that old of a computer and chrome still is a major memory hog [23:26] even if you don't see the problem, i think that the writing is on the wall for firefox and flash [23:26] tachibana: like i said, i don't have that problem. not sure what to tell you. [23:27] I am using a circa windows Vista -days laptop [23:28] i've got a bunch of tabs and extensions and all kinds of crap and it's taking about a gig [23:29] wxl: Right, which is why browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash is a good backup plan. [23:32] running firefox right now with only one tab and no extension is taking over a gig [23:33] if you ask me, that's not a check in the firefox column, tachibana [23:33] HeadlessHorseman: potentially. unttil they decide they don't trust that either :) [23:33] wxl: ...What addons?! Mine's not that bad with 16 tabs! [23:34] HeadlessHorseman: none [23:35] in any case, we've had the browser war about a billion times in the mailing list [23:35] my feeling is use what you like [23:36] 352MB, no swap. And yeah, it's all very subjective. Though I think we all agree, adblocker. [23:36] ADP+HTTPS Everywhere+Privacy Badger [23:39] hahahhahah so i lied [23:39] the chrome browser is gobbling up about the same amount of ram as firefox is [23:40] of course all its extensions and tabs are more, but, that's about the same same [23:44] 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 [23:45] that's probably a good sign not to go there XD [23:45] I need to figure out how to script that crap out with like greasemonkey or something [23:46] I also heard about an adblock hack where it echanges all banners and ads with anime girls, where do I find that gold [23:47] 4chan [23:47] and have you guys seen that lubuntu shell columns and start bar themer mod to rice it out with even more anime girls? [23:48] triggered [23:49] * wxl hasn't been searching for anime girl themes… lately [23:50] bruh what type of themes do you even search for [23:51] I bet you keep your openbox stock [23:52] * wxl doesn't use openbox [23:52] i bet your lubuntu bar is powder blue [23:52] * wxl doesn't use lxpanel [23:53] pics [23:53] i use awesome wm [23:57] it's a tiling window manager, so it's not for everyone, tachibana [23:57] heck, i can't even see my background [23:58] tiling window managers, as a rule, tend ot be kind of anti-theme :) [23:58] i think this is largely to appease people that tend ot be power cli users [23:58] most days, my desktop doesn't look very different than this: [23:58] http://awesome.naquadah.org/images/screen.png
