| EffectCause | hi there | 01:01 |
|---|---|---|
| ianorlin | hi EffectCause any way I can help? | 01:02 |
| EffectCause | Yeah, I'm trying to get my computer to run faster | 01:02 |
| EffectCause | I installed lubuntu on this old thinkpad edge | 01:02 |
| EffectCause | it's running okay, but wanted to know if there's anything i can do to make it faster | 01:02 |
| ianorlin | what are the specs of it | 01:02 |
| EffectCause | i have f.lux on. do you think it significantly slows it down? | 01:03 |
| EffectCause | i have no idea mate, i'm not great with computers xD | 01:03 |
| EffectCause | sorry | 01:03 |
| ianorlin | I have not used it that much I don't think flux would slow down that much unless you were doing graphically intensive stuff | 01:03 |
| EffectCause | i'm redditing and using canva.com | 01:04 |
| wxl | canva might be hogging up all your resources | 01:04 |
| wxl | i'd maximize your ram | 01:04 |
| ianorlin | well web browsers keep using more and more ram | 01:04 |
| EffectCause | where can i download more ram?? | 01:04 |
| wxl | well, it's really the webapps, ianorlin | 01:04 |
| wxl | EffectCause: um, from the store. try newegg. XD | 01:04 |
| EffectCause | i used to install ram via CDs but i prefer the modern digital downloads now | 01:05 |
| EffectCause | i heard steam is going to start selling ram | 01:05 |
| EffectCause | i can trade my tf2 keys for some | 01:05 |
| wxl | i think you're confused about ram | 01:05 |
| EffectCause | hat prices are going to go waaay up | 01:05 |
| EffectCause | wxl, i can sell you some if you like | 01:05 |
| EffectCause | ill email it to you | 01:06 |
| wxl | EffectCause: nope. | 01:06 |
| EffectCause | how many rams you want? 1? 2? | 01:06 |
| * wxl starts walking towards the door | 01:06 | |
| EffectCause | i have a particular woolly one that i can throw in | 01:06 |
| ianorlin | 193 rams? | 01:06 |
| EffectCause | his name's stevbert | 01:06 |
| EffectCause | https://angelsandcelestials.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/dall_sheep_ram_5301220475.jpg | 01:07 |
| EffectCause | ianorlin, who do you think i am, king of rams?! | 01:07 |
| EffectCause | jeez, people these days | 01:07 |
| EffectCause | xD | 01:07 |
| EffectCause | Anyway, being serious once again | 01:07 |
| EffectCause | How can I maximize my ram? | 01:08 |
| EffectCause | Canva is one of the only things I do on the computer so I'd like to continue using it | 01:08 |
| EffectCause | Currently, it's a little slow, but not unusable. | 01:08 |
| wxl | EffectCause: you can find out how much memory your computer can handle and then you can purchase the physical RAM and install it into your physical computer | 01:09 |
| EffectCause | oh, i don't know if it's worth doing that | 01:09 |
| EffectCause | just an old laptop | 01:09 |
| EffectCause | i was wondering if there is anything free i could do | 01:09 |
| EffectCause | software wise | 01:09 |
| wxl | EffectCause: there's not a lot of services running around in the background that you would want to get rid of, no. | 01:09 |
| wxl | EffectCause: just don't run anything else but your browser and limit your tabs as much as humanly possible. | 01:09 |
| EffectCause | well, in that case | 01:09 |
| ianorlin | how would inkscape run compared to canva in ram useage | 01:10 |
| EffectCause | hm, not sure | 01:10 |
| EffectCause | never tried inkscape | 01:10 |
| wxl | probably a lot better | 01:10 |
| EffectCause | is it software or browser? | 01:10 |
| ianorlin | software | 01:10 |
| wxl | anything web-based is generally hogging up a lot of resources | 01:10 |
| ianorlin | in the repos | 01:10 |
| wxl | which is the problem i have with the whole chromebook thing | 01:10 |
| wxl | !info inkspace | 01:10 |
| ubottu | Package inkspace does not exist in wily | 01:10 |
| wxl | argh | 01:10 |
| wxl | !info inkscape | 01:10 |
| ubottu | inkscape (source: inkscape): vector-based drawing program. In component main, is optional. Version 0.91-5ubuntu2 (wily), package size 12604 kB, installed size 81712 kB | 01:10 |
| EffectCause | ahh, that would be great | 01:10 |
| EffectCause | i'm running the newest lts version currently | 01:10 |
| wxl | in that case | 01:10 |
| wxl | !info inkscape trusty | 01:10 |
| EffectCause | i think 14.04, right? | 01:10 |
| ubottu | inkscape (source: inkscape): vector-based drawing program. In component main, is optional. Version 0.48.4-3ubuntu2 (trusty), package size 9440 kB, installed size 60648 kB | 01:10 |
| ianorlin | yes | 01:10 |
| wxl | tl;dr sudo apt -y install inkscape | 01:11 |
| EffectCause | that's all i have to enter into terminal? | 01:11 |
| wxl | inkscape does have a bit of a learning curve, though | 01:11 |
| wxl | EffectCause: yeah or you could install it with synaptic or lubuntu software center or whatever. it's all the same | 01:12 |
| EffectCause | by the way, what is the latest lts release? | 01:12 |
| wxl | EffectCause: oh you might also try increasing your swap | 01:12 |
| wxl | !swap | 01:12 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 01:12 |
| ianorlin | 14.04 | 01:12 |
| wxl | next lts is xenial xerus 16.04 coming in april | 01:12 |
| wxl | !xenial | 01:12 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) will be the 24th release of Ubuntu. Announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1479 - Discussion in #ubuntu+1 | 01:12 |
| EffectCause | thanks | 01:13 |
| EffectCause | how will i update it to 16.04? | 01:13 |
| EffectCause | do i have to do complete reinstall or is there something i can just click to update? | 01:13 |
| ianorlin | it will update lts to lts I think but backup first | 01:13 |
| wxl | EffectCause: it should ask you when it's out. alternately you can use the do-release-upgrade command | 01:13 |
| wxl | EffectCause: re-installs are not necessary | 01:13 |
| wxl | !upgrade | 01:14 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 01:14 |
| EffectCause | where will it ask me? | 01:15 |
| wxl | read links :) | 01:15 |
| EffectCause | okay, thanks | 01:16 |
| EffectCause | is there a way i can update all software on computer? | 01:16 |
| EffectCause | firefox, system apps, inkscape | 01:16 |
| EffectCause | rather than doing all individually | 01:16 |
| EffectCause | oh, and theme from ravefinity | 01:16 |
| wxl | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt -y upgrade | 01:16 |
| EffectCause | that does everything? | 01:16 |
| wxl | or if you want to live a little bit on the edge, you can use dist-upgrade but that will also remove packages that have been removed from the repos or dependencies | 01:17 |
| wxl | which may not be preferable | 01:17 |
| EffectCause | oh okay | 01:17 |
| wxl | *I* prefer it, but the choice is yours | 01:17 |
| EffectCause | i don't want to live on the edge at all | 01:17 |
| wxl | I should have said "the edge" because there's nothing about LTS that's on the edge XD | 01:17 |
| EffectCause | what's the benefit of dist-upgrade? | 01:17 |
| wxl | !dist-upgrade | 01:18 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 01:18 |
| wxl | https://askubuntu.com/questions/81585/what-is-dist-upgrade-and-why-does-it-upgrade-more-than-upgrade | 01:18 |
| EffectCause | so a regular upgrade through sudo apt-get update && sudo apt -y upgrade keeps old packages? | 01:18 |
| wxl | yep | 01:18 |
| EffectCause | ah | 01:18 |
| EffectCause | is there any software like ccleaner that i can use to clear old packages easily? | 01:19 |
| EffectCause | i can see that that could end up bogging down computer | 01:19 |
| ianorlin | EffectCause: it doesn't really it just uses disk space | 01:19 |
| wxl | you can use sudo apt-get autoremove | 01:20 |
| wxl | which will get rid of unneeded dependencies | 01:20 |
| wxl | or sudo apt-get autoclean | 01:20 |
| wxl | which will get rid of downloaded files that aren't necessary | 01:20 |
| wxl | i usually update/dist-upgrade/autoremove/autoclean regularly. it's a little unnecessary, but it doesn't hurt, either. | 01:20 |
| EffectCause | oh okay | 01:21 |
| EffectCause | what's the latest version of firefox available for lubuntu? do you recommend the version it came with (20 something) or the latest? | 01:21 |
| wxl | in general linux is pretty good about taking care of itself | 01:22 |
| wxl | you mean the latest for trusty | 01:22 |
| wxl | !info firefox trusty | 01:22 |
| ubottu | firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 43.0.4+build3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 (trusty), package size 43529 kB, installed size 98558 kB | 01:22 |
| ianorlin | dist-upgrade will get you latest stable for trusty | 01:22 |
| ianorlin | or upgrade | 01:22 |
| wxl | as you can see it's 43 something | 01:22 |
| ianorlin | I usally update after installing | 01:22 |
| wxl | you can see what you have with `apt-cache policy firefox | grep Installed` | 01:22 |
| wxl | note you don't have to sudo apt-cache functions | 01:22 |
| wxl | as far as browsers are concerned, i always recommend the absolute latest | 01:23 |
| wxl | well, not absolute | 01:23 |
| wxl | unstable is not good for everyone (though i tend to run on it, even at work) | 01:23 |
| EffectCause | what's the difference between sudo apt-get update && sudo apt -y upgrade and dist-upgrade? | 01:30 |
| wxl | !dist-upgrade | 01:30 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 01:30 |
| EffectCause | so dist-upgrade is better? | 01:31 |
| wxl | i think so, but some people may be concerned that they might lose something | 01:31 |
| EffectCause | what could you lose? | 01:31 |
| wxl | if you do an upgrade and some package has removed a dependency, it will stay around, but dist-upgrade could get rid of it | 01:31 |
| wxl | i have NEVER seen this to be an issue, but it's a better safe than sorry kind of thing | 01:32 |
| wxl | read that askubuntu link i gave above for some more insight on the subject | 01:32 |
| EffectCause | alright, cool | 01:32 |
| EffectCause | thanks | 01:32 |
| ianorlin | thing is I run dist-upgrade but don't -y so it asks me and I know enought to see what it is removing | 01:32 |
| EffectCause | so, with lubuntu, will i ever have to do any ccleaner type thing? | 01:32 |
| wxl | nope | 01:32 |
| wxl | there's regular cron jobs that clean out the cruft | 01:33 |
| EffectCause | it does it automatically? | 01:33 |
| wxl | yep :) | 01:33 |
| wxl | linux is a work of art :) | 01:33 |
| EffectCause | woahh | 01:33 |
| EffectCause | i'm so lost honestly | 01:33 |
| EffectCause | i know nothing about computers | 01:33 |
| EffectCause | hey, does anyone here do graphic design? | 01:36 |
| EffectCause | ah | 01:39 |
| EffectCause | anyway | 01:39 |
| EffectCause | thanks so much everyone | 01:39 |
| EffectCause | appreciate it | 01:39 |
| wxl | np EffectCause | 01:39 |
| wxl | have fun and enjoy the linux :) | 01:39 |
| wxl | btw | 01:39 |
| wxl | there's a resource to help train you in linux should you want to take the effort: linuxpadawan.net | 01:39 |
| ianorlin | and then he left ... | 01:39 |
| libben | Fresh install of Lubuntu 15.10 x86 version. Installed a couple of packages, set up wifi, not much else. That was this morning, now any option I pick to boot it results in near-immediate shutdown of the machine. What can I do to troubleshoot? | 03:34 |
| libben | When I say near-immediate, I mean I click the option I want to boot from grub, it starts to load components, then winks out within seconds, not even getting me to the login manager. | 03:35 |
| ianorlin | libben: this could be a graphics problem | 03:57 |
| ianorlin | !tty | 03:57 |
| ubottu | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 03:57 |
| libben | ianorlin: I am attempting a reinstall. I will note if the problem persists after a fresh installation.l | 04:07 |
| wfreeman | Hi all. I'm running Lubuntu on a laptop with a touchscreen. When I close the lid, the touchscreen doesn't turn off, so the computer registers all sorts of spurious touch events. Is there any way to trigger a script when the lid is closed/opened so I can disable and reenable the touchscreen? Is there some other way to fix this? | 05:33 |
| wfreeman | And a second question: is there any command that forces the computer to reevaluate the window positions when the size of the virtual desktop changes (i.e. when an external monitor is disconnected) | 05:35 |
| NOOB | Unit193: I added the vlc ppa from here https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/ubuntu/master-daily but I think i have a ppa config issue as i cannot see any version beyond 2.1.6 | 12:11 |

| teward | it has build failures | 13:13 |

| teward | so you won't be getting that version because there's none published because it failed to build | 13:13 |
| tsimonq2 | teward: I JUST spotted that, thanks for confirming teward :) | 13:13 |
| NOOB | lol | 13:14 |
| tsimonq2 | NOOB: so you will just have to wait until the builds succeed, I'll look into why it isn't building and report it to someone | 13:14 |
| NOOB | wahoo | 13:14 |
| NOOB | um | 13:14 |
| NOOB | is there a source for 2.1.2 | 13:14 |
| NOOB | um i ment 2.2.1 | 13:15 |
| NOOB | can that ppa give last good build? | 13:17 |
| teward | NOOB: when a new version is uploaded, as I understand it, it supersedes the old version which gets remove | 13:18 |
| tsimonq2 | N let me look into that quick... | 13:18 |
| teward | d | 13:18 |
| teward | so i don't believe so because it'd show up in apt-cache policy | 13:18 |
| tsimonq2 | yeah | 13:18 |
| NOOB | can i force last good build? | 13:19 |
| NOOB | cause once i get it then it will auto update at some point | 13:19 |

| Amigo | Hey everyone! | 15:27 |
| Amigo | I'm trying to install flash player | 15:27 |
| === Amigo is now known as Guest30113 | ||
| === Guest30113 is now known as TuAmigo | ||
| redwolf | hello TuAmigo | 15:27 |
| === TuAmigo is now known as UnAmigo | ||
| UnAmigo | Hello, my friend! | 15:28 |
| UnAmigo | How can I install flash player? | 15:28 |
| redwolf | open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree" | 15:28 |
| teward | redwolf: thought that needed Chrome to work? | 15:28 |
| redwolf | yes for embedded videos not converted to HTML5 (it may depends on sites) | 15:29 |
| redwolf | what version do you use? | 15:29 |
| UnAmigo | Will installing flash player slow down my computer? | 15:29 |
| UnAmigo | trusty | 15:29 |
| UnAmigo | lts | 15:29 |
| redwolf | for older versions you can use "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" | 15:29 |
| teward | UnAmigo: installing it won't slow down your system, but running Flash content on webpages, etc. may slow down your system | 15:30 |
| redwolf | or easier, open the Lubuntu Software Center and look for "flash" :) | 15:30 |
| UnAmigo | It's right there! | 15:36 |
| UnAmigo | Sorry, I should have checked before asking you | 15:36 |
| redwolf | perfect! :D | 15:37 |
| redwolf | don't worry, and ask whatever you need :) | 15:38 |
| NOOB | tsimonq2: I ccontacted an admin on the videolan team. they seem to think its a ubuntu multimedia team issue | 15:46 |
| NOOB | do you have any thoughts for me | 15:46 |
| UnAmigo | you're great, dude | 15:48 |
| NOOB | i know. but thanks.... | 15:48 |
| UnAmigo | is NOOB a bot? | 15:49 |
| NOOB | i got the body of a bot. Hard and steely | 15:50 |
| MeatHammer | where are xpad's notes kept and can I just file transfer them to a new user / debian? | 16:11 |
| redwolf | MeatHammer, notes are stored in ~/.config/xpad folder | 16:14 |
| redwolf | MeatHammer, after restoring your Home folder, open a new Note. Now, right click on the new Note, then click on Notes > Show All. It should retrieve all of your Notes. | 16:15 |
| MeatHammer | ty redwolf | 16:23 |
| redwolf | you're welcome :) | 16:23 |
| MeatHammer | redwolf: can I load differebt sets of notes this way? by moving and replacing these files? I'm basically trying to merge several different xpad notes into one..? | 16:24 |
| redwolf | actually you can, but you'll have to do it manually | 16:25 |
| redwolf | as they're not encoded or something, just plain text stored in files | 16:25 |
| redwolf | not a very complicated app :) | 16:25 |
| redwolf | nor databases either | 16:25 |
| MeatHammer | kk so I load these different sets of files and cut and paste them back in using an intermediary like leafpad or something? or just keep them in the copy buffer? | 16:26 |
| redwolf | theorically... yes. copy and paste should work. | 16:28 |
| redwolf | but I never tried that :D | 16:28 |
| LocutusOfBorg | NOOB, let me see your issue | 16:30 |
| redwolf | sorry, LocutusOfBorg? | 16:31 |
| LocutusOfBorg | vlc | 16:31 |
| NOOB | LocutusOfBorg: https://code.launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/ubuntu/master-daily/+packages the builds fail. i added the PPA and get no joy | 16:32 |
| LocutusOfBorg | I know | 16:32 |
| LocutusOfBorg | I already know | 16:32 |
| NOOB | oh, you weere tell me you are looking at it. i misunderstood, and thought you were asking to see it again. | 16:33 |
| LocutusOfBorg | http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2016/01/26/%23lubuntu.html | 16:34 |
| LocutusOfBorg | I read everything | 16:34 |
| LocutusOfBorg | $somebody told me there was a vlc issue :) | 16:34 |
| NOOB | I want to know how to read everything... | 16:37 |
| LocutusOfBorg | "I just read everything" | 16:38 |
| LocutusOfBorg | that was the meaning | 16:38 |
| LocutusOfBorg | :) | 16:38 |
| NOOB | I intended to make humor on the idea of reading everything. no offence intended | 16:40 |
| LocutusOfBorg | lol :) | 16:41 |
| NOOB | please dont borg-i-fy me | 16:41 |
| NOOB | does this help ? | 16:43 |
| NOOB | https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org.html#vlc | 16:43 |
| NOOB | no it does not i think | 16:47 |
| NOOB | LocutusOfBorg: any updates? or hope? leave me with hope..... | 16:57 |
| LocutusOfBorg | NOOB, I'm rebuilding ffmpeg with a special backport to trusty | 17:04 |
| LocutusOfBorg | https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/ubuntu/locutusofborg-ppa/+build/8898717 | 17:05 |
| LocutusOfBorg | if the build goes fine, I'll try to rebuild vlc on top of it | 17:05 |
| LocutusOfBorg | and then test it | 17:05 |
| LocutusOfBorg | it will take a while | 17:05 |
| NOOB | I will wait for you for the rest of my life | 17:05 |
| LocutusOfBorg | I had to rebuild two dependencies in my ppa, to avoid breaking the official master-daily one | 17:05 |
| NOOB | but we both agree that getting the officcial ppa working is better right? | 17:06 |
| LocutusOfBorg | if I can get the private one sure | 17:06 |
| LocutusOfBorg | I don't like to upload stuff in a commonly used ppa without testing | 17:07 |
| === HairyFotr1 is now known as HairyFotr | ||
| LocutusOfBorg | hi, seems that you have to upgrade from trusty to vivid or somewhat newer to have vlc | 18:06 |
| LocutusOfBorg | NOOB, I can't backport new packages because of a libgnutls transition | 18:06 |
| LocutusOfBorg | sorry | 18:06 |
| LocutusOfBorg | you migjt want to use vlc 2.2.0 from here https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/ubuntu/stable-daily/+packages | 18:06 |
| NOOB | i should prolly just run lubuntu 15 | 18:09 |
| NOOB | LocutusOfBorg: are you saying that it can never be backported? and 3.0 will be impossible too? | 18:10 |
| LocutusOfBorg | exactly | 18:10 |
| LocutusOfBorg | I might try to wrkaround the libgnutls28 problem, but it might be painful and not worth the effort | 18:10 |
| NOOB | i hate reformatting | 18:11 |
| NOOB | thank you very much LocutusOfBorg . still the 3.0 ppa is broken. | 18:12 |
| LocutusOfBorg | I deleted the package from there | 18:12 |
