| ruru | Hi, I want to change something in the UPower configuration files that are supposed to be in /org/freedesktop/UPower, but there is no directory /org. But X.org is installed (1.1.1)? | 05:10 |
|---|---|---|
| ruru | *1.15.1 | 05:10 |
| krytarik | ruru: That's a D-Bus object path, rather than a file system one: http://upower.freedesktop.org/docs/UPower.html - and X.Org isn't related to that at all. | 05:19 |
| OnTheRoadAgain | Hey there! | 16:10 |
| Roadtripper | Hey there! Is there a way that I can make my wallpaper change to a different picture from /r/earthporn every hour or day? | 16:11 |
| redwolf | Roadtripper, the only solution is using a wallpaper changer | 16:22 |
| redwolf | I recommend you to use Wallc, it's in the repository and fully compatible with Lubuntu | 16:23 |
| redwolf | *sorry, Walch | 16:23 |
| Roadtripper | So I'd have to download a bunch of images, put them in a folder, and use them? | 16:24 |
| Roadtripper | Hmm | 16:25 |
| Roadtripper | I got an error | 16:25 |
| Roadtripper | Are there any screenshot applications for Linux, like lightshot? | 16:25 |
| Roadtripper | TheSchaf Howdy | 16:26 |
| redwolf | you should have scrot installed in Lubuntu, anyway there're plenty screenshooters | 16:27 |
| Roadtripper | Are there any that give you a link instantly to share online? | 16:28 |
| redwolf | yes, shutter can do that | 16:28 |
| redwolf | and screencloud used to work fine, uploading to imgur and more using plugins, but its development is discontinued | 16:28 |
| redwolf | here's a list: https://askubuntu.com/questions/6558/what-screenshot-tools-are-available | 16:28 |
| Roadtripper | Installing Shutter | 16:29 |
| redwolf | :) | 16:29 |
| redwolf | oh and yes, Wallch can use a folder source to pick up some images from it | 16:30 |
| Roadtripper | Thank you so much | 16:31 |
| Roadtripper | You are all so kind | 16:31 |
| redwolf | you're welcome :) | 16:31 |
| Roadtripper | Why do you do this? :) | 16:31 |
| redwolf | well, I don't know, some helped me a few times, I think people deserves care | 16:32 |
| redwolf | we have to help each other | 16:32 |
| Roadtripper | Wow | 16:33 |
| Roadtripper | What is your job? | 16:33 |
| redwolf | I'm a graphic designer | 16:33 |
| redwolf | that's why I'm taking care of the graphic "issues" of Lubuntu, and helping about desktop things | 16:33 |
| Roadtripper | Woooaah | 16:34 |
| Roadtripper | I kind of want to be a graphic designer | 16:34 |
| Roadtripper | I've always liked it | 16:34 |
| Roadtripper | Especially vexilollogy | 16:34 |
| redwolf | looks nice! symbols are always fascinating | 16:35 |
| Roadtripper | Yes, I'm a big fan of the Noun Project | 16:36 |
| redwolf | O.o I don't know that one | 16:36 |
| Roadtripper | Check it out | 16:37 |
| Roadtripper | thenounproject.com | 16:37 |
| Roadtripper | They're basically a collection of icons and symbols. Their philosophy is that symbols can be understood by anyone, thus they are creating a universal language. | 16:37 |
| redwolf | oh yes, I saw that site once | 16:37 |
| Roadtripper | May I see some of your graphic design work? | 16:38 |
| redwolf | you're already doing it, if you're using Lubuntu ;) | 16:39 |
| redwolf | icons, wallpapers, bitmaps everywhere, toolbars... | 16:39 |
| redwolf | the whole UI | 16:39 |
| Roadtripper | No freaking way! | 16:39 |
| Roadtripper | Wow | 16:39 |
| redwolf | yup | 16:39 |
| redwolf | Lubuntu Artwork Team | 16:39 |
| Roadtripper | I use Radiance by ravefinity, though... ;( | 16:39 |
| redwolf | it's okay. there're lots of nice icon sets out there! :D | 16:40 |
| Roadtripper | That's really cool though, man | 16:40 |
| Roadtripper | What other stuff have you designed? Do you have a website? | 16:40 |
| redwolf | lately, I'm mainly focused on Lubuntu, and some paper print works in my town | 16:41 |
| Roadtripper | Sweet | 16:41 |
| Roadtripper | Do you use lubuntu? | 16:41 |
| redwolf | yes | 16:41 |
| redwolf | but I need to have plenty environments, to test the icons and themes everywhere | 16:42 |
| Roadtripper | Awesome | 16:42 |
| Roadtripper | I just wish I could get this thing to run a bit better | 16:42 |
| redwolf | if you need more help with apps or the environment itself, just ask :) | 16:43 |
| redwolf | we also have some groups in FB and other networks: http://lubuntu.me/social/ | 16:43 |
| Roadtripper | I don't have any social media, I'm afraid xD | 16:44 |
| Roadtripper | I'm very anti-technology, honestly | 16:45 |
| redwolf | it's ok :) | 16:45 |
| Roadtripper | Although, I am an avid redditor... | 16:45 |
| redwolf | but you can still read Twitter. we have Reddit too | 16:45 |
| Roadtripper | I like websites that don't require a bunch of information to sign up | 16:45 |
| redwolf | me neither | 16:45 |
| Roadtripper | We need afree, open, anonymous internet | 16:45 |
| redwolf | that will be difficult dealing with cookies, personalised weather and maps, and other dedicated stuff | 16:46 |
| Roadtripper | package dependecies cannot be resolved | 16:49 |
| redwolf | installing what? | 16:50 |
| Roadtripper | brb | 16:51 |
| redwolf | sure | 16:51 |
| redwolf | brb | 16:57 |
| Roadtripper | Hi again! | 17:06 |
| Roadtripper | Sorry about that | 17:06 |
| Roadtripper | Had to reboot | 17:06 |
| Roadtripper | redwolf ? | 17:09 |
| Roadtripper | I tried to install wallch via terminal but I got this http://imgur.com/BiTMvTI | 17:10 |
| redwolf | back! | 17:11 |
| redwolf | Roadtripper, what version of Lubuntu do you use? | 17:11 |
| Roadtripper | 14.04 lts | 17:11 |
| redwolf | then please, add this PPA: ppa:wallch/3+ | 17:12 |
| redwolf | sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:wallch/3+ | 17:12 |
| peaceful | Hi, is there a way to make windows to snap in half of screen while dragging? | 17:12 |
| Roadtripper | Do I type that command before or after? | 17:12 |
| redwolf | first that "sudo..." command | 17:12 |
| redwolf | then "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wallch" | 17:13 |
| Roadtripper | What does this do? "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wallch" | 17:13 |
| redwolf | peaceful, you are looking for the aerosnap feature. try this: http://lubuntu.me/tips-tricks/ | 17:13 |
| redwolf | Roadtripper, it refreshes your repositories database (needed after adding an external repo) and install the app | 17:14 |
| peaceful | redwolf, hey does lubuntu have new webpage? looks nice | 17:14 |
| redwolf | yes. and thanks! | 17:14 |
| redwolf | :D | 17:14 |
| redwolf | it's actually the old blog revamped | 17:14 |
| Roadtripper | Wow, new lubuntu site looks amazing | 17:15 |
| redwolf | thank you :) | 17:15 |
| peaceful | redwolf, did you make it? | 17:15 |
| Roadtripper | redwolf Do you recommend lts or regular? | 17:15 |
| redwolf | peaceful, yes :) | 17:16 |
| redwolf | Roadtripper, I always recommend LTS | 17:16 |
| peaceful | redwolf, nice job :) | 17:16 |
| redwolf | thank you so much! :D | 17:16 |
| redwolf | there're lots of hours there | 17:16 |
| Roadtripper | redwolf nice | 17:17 |
| Roadtripper | It looks amazing dude | 17:17 |
| Roadtripper | Really clean | 17:17 |
| redwolf | that was the idea. uncluttered, clean and easy | 17:17 |
| peaceful | redwolf, whats better opensnap or aerosnap? | 17:17 |
| Roadtripper | redwolf What is lubuntu.net/ | 17:18 |
| redwolf | aerosnap works using keyboard and opensnap uses the mouse | 17:18 |
| Roadtripper | redwolf I installed lubuntu from lubuntu.net, not lubuntu.me | 17:18 |
| redwolf | Roadtripper, lubuntu.net is still the official site, but as we're focusing on the new site, the .net might be forgotten | 17:19 |
| Roadtripper | redwolf ah, okay | 17:19 |
| redwolf | anyway, both take the ISOs from the Ubuntu server | 17:19 |
| Roadtripper | redwolf sorry to bother you, but what 3 commands do i have to enter in terminal to install wallch? | 17:19 |
| peaceful | redwolf, oh so you are migrating to lubuntu.me now? | 17:19 |
| redwolf | peaceful, yes | 17:19 |
| peaceful | redwolf, lubuntu.me is better :) | 17:20 |
| redwolf | Roadtripper, don't be sorry. these ones: | 17:20 |
| redwolf | in one line in a terminal: "sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:wallch/3+ && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wallch" | 17:20 |
| peaceful | cool | 17:21 |
| peaceful | i have question about lxqt | 17:21 |
| redwolf | :) | 17:21 |
| redwolf | sure. shoot | 17:21 |
| peaceful | When it will be avaible? | 17:21 |
| redwolf | we hope it will be available in Lubuntu 16.10, fully operational | 17:22 |
| peaceful | redwolf, ah ok | 17:22 |
| redwolf | but we might have a ready-to-work PPA for 16.04 | 17:22 |
| peaceful | so what's better in lxqt? what window manager it uses? | 17:22 |
| Roadtripper | What is lxqt? | 17:22 |
| redwolf | you have more information here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/LXQt | 17:22 |
| redwolf | but it's VERY experimental | 17:23 |
| peaceful | Roadtripper, it has apps based on qt framework | 17:23 |
| Roadtripper | Is it better? | 17:23 |
| peaceful | Roadtripper, i believe se | 17:23 |
| peaceful | so | 17:23 |
| redwolf | Roadtripper, Lubuntu now is based on LXDE, a GTK desktop. LXQt uses Qt and it's faster | 17:23 |
| Roadtripper | Better in what way? | 17:23 |
| Roadtripper | Ah | 17:23 |
| peaceful | Roadtripper, spotify uses qt | 17:23 |
| Roadtripper | So my computer will run better with it? | 17:23 |
| redwolf | and more "modern", as the developments are going to that | 17:23 |
| peaceful | Roadtripper, yes faster | 17:23 |
| redwolf | yes | 17:23 |
| Roadtripper | Will the new lts have it? | 17:24 |
| peaceful | redwolf, so many apps are being reworked in qt ? :) | 17:24 |
| redwolf | yes, Roadtripper | 17:24 |
| redwolf | some are being ported, others will be new | 17:24 |
| Roadtripper | When the new lts comes out, how do I update? | 17:24 |
| redwolf | don't worry, your update manager will tell you. or you will be able to download the new ISO for a clean install | 17:24 |
| Roadtripper | what do you mean clean install? | 17:24 |
| Roadtripper | Will I have to redo everything, wipe the whole computer? D: | 17:25 |
| redwolf | installing from a USB or CD, erasing your old system | 17:25 |
| Roadtripper | Nooo | 17:25 |
| redwolf | you won't lose anything if you partitioned your hard disk properly. we Linux users, usually, create a system partition and a home partition | 17:25 |
| redwolf | so you can erase system without losing your data | 17:25 |
| Roadtripper | I don't understand what that means | 17:25 |
| peaceful | redwolf, i added opensnap PPA but unfourtunately i got error | 17:26 |
| peaceful | W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/lawl/opensnap/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found | 17:26 |
| redwolf | peaceful, maybe the owner of that PPA removed that app | 17:26 |
| redwolf | I note that to ask him and replace with a working link | 17:26 |
| redwolf | I can't do much for now until I figure out what's happening | 17:26 |
| peaceful | redwolf, okay | 17:27 |
| Roadtripper | redwolf Will there be a way for me to update without changing anything? | 17:27 |
| redwolf | Roadtripper, if you didn't make partitions, your hard disk in "in one piece". you'll lose everything if you do a clean install | 17:27 |
| redwolf | so the only way is using the Update Manager. it'll inform you when it's available | 17:27 |
| Roadtripper | I think it is in one piece | 17:27 |
| Roadtripper | I don't know | 17:28 |
| Roadtripper | Can I ask here when the time comes? | 17:28 |
| redwolf | possibly it is | 17:28 |
| redwolf | sorry? what time? | 17:28 |
| Roadtripper | As in, when it comes out | 17:28 |
| peaceful | redwolf, its seems ok, its not removed | 17:28 |
| peaceful | https://launchpad.net/~lawl/+archive/ubuntu/opensnap | 17:28 |
| redwolf | yes, but it's for (L)Ubuntu Raring only, an old version | 17:29 |
| redwolf | I need to find a new one | 17:29 |
| peaceful | redwolf, ah ok i see | 17:29 |
| Roadtripper | redwolf I got this http://i.imgur.com/odALDYb.png when i entered the command | 17:29 |
| redwolf | that's good for now :) | 17:30 |
| peaceful | redwolf, i found out that super + arrows work by default in lubuntu :) | 17:31 |
| redwolf | oh damn. I forgot! :D | 17:32 |
| redwolf | http://lubuntu.me/tip-areosnap/ | 17:32 |
| redwolf | it's already implemented since 13.10 | 17:32 |
| redwolf | :D | 17:33 |
| Roadtripper | redwolf did it work? | 17:33 |
| redwolf | I think so. look in your graphics menu | 17:33 |
| Roadtripper | Not there :( | 17:33 |
| peaceful | redwolf, hehe :) | 17:33 |
| peaceful | redwolf, how can i use this theme? Does openbox support gtk3? http://lubuntu.me/box-theme-0-58/ | 17:33 |
| redwolf | after the last command, what does it say? | 17:34 |
| redwolf | peaceful, you have to add the Artwork PPA | 17:34 |
| Roadtripper | 100% [Connecting to security.ubuntu.com (2001:67c:1360:8c01::18)]^[[A^[[B | 17:34 |
| Roadtripper | That'sthe last one | 17:34 |
| redwolf | O.o odd | 17:34 |
| redwolf | open the Lubuntu Software Center and look for it | 17:34 |
| Roadtripper | I did, that's where I got the error | 17:34 |
| Roadtripper | I'll show you | 17:34 |
| redwolf | peaceful, instructions are here: http://lubuntu.me/downloads/#artwork | 17:35 |
| peaceful | redwolf, yeah i found :) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-art/daily | 17:35 |
| redwolf | nice! :) | 17:36 |
| peaceful | redwolf, really nice webpage | 17:36 |
| redwolf | thank you :D | 17:36 |
| peaceful | now with themes downloads, icons, im satisfied ;) | 17:36 |
| redwolf | good! :D | 17:36 |
| peaceful | redwolf, do you use lubuntu yoursel? | 17:36 |
| redwolf | yes | 17:36 |
| Roadtripper | http://imgur.com/9woDoMP | 17:36 |
| redwolf | with that PPA, peaceful, you'll have the latest updates. so if I add an icon, you'll have it in a matter of hours | 17:37 |
| Roadtripper | I got that, redwolf | 17:37 |
| redwolf | that's very off, Roadtripper | 17:37 |
| peaceful | redwolf, ok i see. but i didnt see any other ppa there :) | 17:37 |
| peaceful | redwolf, but im fine with daily | 17:38 |
| peaceful | i like all the latest stuff | 17:38 |
| Roadtripper | :( | 17:38 |
| redwolf | Roadtripper, please, tell me again you Lubuntu version | 17:38 |
| Roadtripper | peaceful can you show me some screenshots from box theme 0.58? i may use it instead of radiance | 17:38 |
| Roadtripper | redwolf LTS 14.04 | 17:38 |
| peaceful | Roadtripper, yep when i'll install it i'll share scrnshot | 17:39 |
| redwolf | Roadtripper, let's clean what we did, one line in a terminal: "sudo add-apt-repository -y --remove ppa:wallch/3+ && sudo apt-get update" | 17:39 |
| Roadtripper | peaceful thank you, friend | 17:40 |
| Roadtripper | redwolf okay, doing that now | 17:40 |
| redwolf | Wallch supports up to Lubuntu 14.04 LTS, this is its website: http://melloristudio.com/wallch/ | 17:40 |
| Roadtripper | redwolf yep | 17:41 |
| Roadtripper | okay, did that redwolf | 17:41 |
| Roadtripper | the command | 17:41 |
| redwolf | okay. then it recommends just "sudo apt-get install wallch" because it's in the repositories | 17:41 |
| redwolf | I'm testing it in one 14.04 machine now. and it works | 17:41 |
| Roadtripper | i keep getting this command | 17:42 |
| Roadtripper | http://i.imgur.com/wDuiXhUl.jpg | 17:42 |
| Roadtripper | so i can't type anything else | 17:42 |
| redwolf | no, it's the package manager doing things | 17:43 |
| Roadtripper | oh okay | 17:43 |
| Roadtripper | so just wait? | 17:43 |
| teward | yep | 17:43 |
| Roadtripper | okay, cool | 17:43 |
| Roadtripper | i think firefox just got a new update for linux | 17:43 |
| redwolf | yup | 17:43 |
| Roadtripper | i'm installing new firefox now with software updater. what does "waiting for apt-get to exit" mean? | 17:44 |
| redwolf | because you are doing things in the terminal ;) | 17:44 |
| Roadtripper | ah | 17:44 |
| Roadtripper | makes sense xD | 17:44 |
| redwolf | once it finishes, the update manager will continue | 17:44 |
| Roadtripper | it's still doing it | 17:47 |
| peaceful | :) | 17:47 |
| redwolf | sorry, I have to go now for a while | 17:48 |
| peaceful | redwolf, ok God bless you brother :0 | 17:49 |
| redwolf | :) | 17:49 |
| redwolf | I'm glad to help | 17:49 |
| redwolf | brb | 17:49 |
| Roadtripper | http://imgur.com/DAUPrrO redwolf still getting this | 17:49 |
| peaceful | ok i installed box theme | 17:49 |
| peaceful | I guess i need to logout and login back | 17:50 |
| Roadtripper | probably yeah peaceful | 17:50 |
| redwolf | before I leave, Roadtripper. it seems your server is having problems. change it: https://askubuntu.com/questions/104695/how-do-i-change-mirrors-in-ubuntu-server-from-regional-to-main | 17:50 |
| redwolf | it says "download from". change to another closer to you | 17:50 |
| Roadtripper | Wait, how do I do that? | 17:50 |
| redwolf | open Software Sources | 17:51 |
| Roadtripper | where is software sources? | 17:51 |
| Roadtripper | is it "software & updates"? | 17:51 |
| redwolf | menu preferences | 17:52 |
| Roadtripper | okay found it | 17:52 |
| Roadtripper | it's on usa right now | 17:52 |
| Roadtripper | and i live in usa | 17:52 |
| redwolf | there. yes, but you can choose one really close | 17:52 |
| Roadtripper | do i click find best location? | 17:52 |
| redwolf | ye | 17:53 |
| redwolf | *yes | 17:53 |
| Roadtripper | cogentco? | 17:54 |
| Roadtripper | how do i know if it is safe? | 17:54 |
| redwolf | all those mirrors are supervised by Ubuntu | 17:54 |
| Roadtripper | ah | 17:54 |
| Roadtripper | how come so many colleges run servers? | 17:54 |
| redwolf | they have better computers :D | 17:54 |
| Roadtripper | do they make money from it? | 17:54 |
| redwolf | no | 17:54 |
| Roadtripper | so why do they do it? | 17:55 |
| redwolf | for the same reason I try to help people here :) | 17:55 |
| Roadtripper | oh :D | 17:55 |
| redwolf | don't you think we should't help each other more often? | 17:56 |
| Roadtripper | I do | 17:56 |
| Roadtripper | Definitely | 17:56 |
| redwolf | :) | 17:56 |
| redwolf | you already paid for your computer | 17:56 |
| Roadtripper | In fact, I am reading "Altruism" by Matthieu Ricard at the moment :D | 17:56 |
| redwolf | :) | 17:56 |
| redwolf | we should act like Borgs! :D | 17:57 |
| Roadtripper | Haha | 17:57 |
| redwolf | we're a collective | 17:57 |
| Roadtripper | Updating cache | 17:57 |
| Roadtripper | What is your favorite subreddits? | 17:57 |
| redwolf | I don't usually "go there", only for posting at Lubuntu's | 17:57 |
| redwolf | but it has an amazing potential | 17:57 |
| redwolf | I know that | 17:58 |
| Roadtripper | Reddit is great | 17:58 |
| Roadtripper | I love writingprompts | 17:58 |
| redwolf | I'm sorry, but I really have to go for a while | 17:58 |
| redwolf | see you later, guys | 17:58 |
| Roadtripper | Okay, goodbye | 17:58 |
| Roadtripper | Wait one more thing | 17:58 |
| redwolf | ...and gurrrrls | 17:58 |
| redwolf | yes? :D | 17:58 |
| Roadtripper | What command should I type | 17:58 |
| Roadtripper | When I update the mirror | 17:58 |
| Roadtripper | To download wallch | 17:58 |
| redwolf | no one. it'll update automatically. then use the Lubuntu Software Center to look for it. it should work then. | 17:58 |
| redwolf | if it doesn't, ask for help here again | 17:59 |
| redwolf | or at #lubuntu-offtopic | 17:59 |
| Roadtripper | ah okay | 17:59 |
| redwolf | :) see you! | 17:59 |
| Roadtripper | thank you so much, friend! | 17:59 |
| Roadtripper | i owe you one | 17:59 |
| Roadtripper | thank you | 17:59 |
| krytarik | No, not there please. | 17:59 |

| wxl | 1. open up a terminal | 18:19 |
| wxl | 2. type in the following: | 18:19 |
| wxl | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt -y install pastebinit && sudo apt -y install wallch | pastebinit | 18:20 |
| wxl | 3. link me to the url it spits out at you | 18:20 |
| wxl | clicking on the "details" in that box might be helpful too | 18:20 |
| Roadtripper | entered the command | 18:21 |

| Roadtripper | got this | 18:23 |
| Roadtripper | wxl | 18:23 |
| wxl | Roadtripper: let it keep going until you get the prompt back | 18:23 |
| peaceful | Roadtripper, does it stuck on "Connecting to extras.ubuntu.com"? | 18:24 |
| Roadtripper | no, now i have this | 18:24 |
| Roadtripper | http://i.imgur.com/uHninHo.png | 18:24 |
| Roadtripper | wxl peaceful | 18:25 |
| wxl | Roadtripper: so if you look at https://paste.ubuntu.com/14681241/ you see the problem | 18:25 |
| Roadtripper | I don't know what that means | 18:26 |
| wxl | Roadtripper: pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:26 |
| Roadtripper | what is that? wxl | 18:27 |
| Roadtripper | Sorry, I'm terrible at computers | 18:27 |
| wxl | Roadtripper: it's the repositories you have enabled | 18:27 |
| wxl | you need the universe repository enabled | 18:27 |
| Roadtripper | how do i do that? | 18:28 |
| wxl | well | 18:28 |
| wxl | i'll show you the fancy way | 18:28 |
| peaceful | Roadtripper, type: less /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit | 18:29 |
| Roadtripper | in terminal? | 18:29 |
| peaceful | Roadtripper, yes | 18:29 |
| Roadtripper | this can't mess up anything? | 18:29 |
| peaceful | and it will return link which you need to share | 18:29 |
| peaceful | Roadtripper, no | 18:29 |
| wxl | sudo apt -y install xclip && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit | xclip -i | 18:30 |
| Roadtripper | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14681293/ | 18:30 |
| wxl | and then when it's done, paste here | 18:30 |
| wxl | (does the copy for you) | 18:30 |
| Roadtripper | okay, done wxl | 18:31 |
| wxl | you appear to have universe enabled | 18:31 |
| wxl | so the issue may be that one of the dependencies of wallch conflicts with some other package you have | 18:31 |
| Roadtripper | should i do apt-get autoremove? | 18:31 |
| wxl | at this point it's a pain in the butt | 18:31 |
| peaceful | Roadtripper, yes | 18:31 |
| wxl | basically you need to go through all of the dependencies listed here https://paste.ubuntu.com/14681241/ and try to install them individually | 18:31 |
| wxl | if that fails, try to install all the dependencies of the dependencies and so on | 18:32 |
| Roadtripper | I'm sorry, I'm really lost | 18:32 |
| peaceful | Roadtripper, what ubuntu do you use? | 18:32 |
| Roadtripper | lts 14.04 | 18:32 |
| peaceful | fresh install? | 18:32 |
| Roadtripper | what is fresh install? | 18:32 |
| peaceful | Roadtripper, did you install it today/ | 18:33 |
| Roadtripper | no | 18:33 |

| Roadtripper | are there any other wallpaper changers? | 18:34 |
| wxl | sudo apt -y install libqt5core5 libqt5gui5 libqt5webkit5 libqt5widgets5 | 18:35 |

| cosec_ | guys | 21:33 |
| cosec_ | i want to dual boot lubuntu | 21:33 |
| cosec_ | i have already one distro installed(kutuntu) | 21:33 |
| cosec_ | *kubuntu | 21:34 |
| cosec_ | any ideas ? | 21:34 |
| teward | cosec_: i don't see an actual question? | 21:34 |
| cosec_ | teward: how do i make a dual boot system with lubuntu ? | 21:35 |
| cosec_ | i let kubuntu use the entire hard drive while installing | 21:35 |
| cosec_ | i have only 1 hard drive | 21:36 |
| cosec_ | :( | 21:36 |
| cosec_ | its a laptop, lenovo y460 | 21:36 |
| wxl | cosec_: the installer should give you an option to "install alongside" | 21:36 |
| cosec_ | really? thats awesome | 21:37 |
| wxl | cosec_: yes then you can select each with grub. the grub menu does not come up automatically. hold down shift at boot to see it | 21:37 |
| wxl | cosec_: recommandation: backup first! | 21:37 |
| cosec_ | okok | 21:38 |
| cosec_ | i have a spare external drive | 21:38 |
| cosec_ | can you tell me how to back up ? | 21:38 |
| wxl | there's a million ways to do it | 21:38 |
| wxl | !backup | 21:38 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 21:38 |
| wxl | personally, i'd just use rsync | 21:38 |
| cosec_ | cool | 21:41 |
| cosec_ | so i think | 21:41 |
| cosec_ | i will use Grsync | 21:41 |
| cosec_ | coz it will be newbile friendly | 21:41 |
| cosec_ | so when i back up, it should back up all my packages | 21:41 |
| cosec_ | *installed packages | 21:42 |
| cosec_ | right ? | 21:42 |
| wxl | cosec_: technically `dpkg -l` will give you a list of packages if that's all you want :) | 21:42 |
| wxl | but rsync can be made to backup the entire drive or just parts of it. actually, that's true with all backup solutions, really | 21:42 |
| cosec_ | nice , ty wxl | 21:44 |
| cosec_ | wxl: what should i back up ? | 21:56 |
| wxl | cosec_: /home is most important | 21:56 |
| cosec_ | i just want all the packages that i installed myself, coz getting them one by one is a headache | 21:57 |
| wxl | cosec_: you could grab dpkg -l | 21:57 |
| wxl | acutally dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' | 21:57 |
| wxl | that will give you a list of all of your packages | 21:58 |
| cosec_ | /home is around 33gbs | 21:58 |
| wxl | cosec_: well home is the irreplacable stuff! | 21:58 |
| cosec_ | wxl: i thank you for your help. i will back up /home | 22:02 |
| cosec_ | wxl: i appreciate you putting up with the newbieness | 22:02 |
| wxl | cosec_: np | 22:02 |
| cosec_ | wxl: :( lemme ask you another newbie question | 22:02 |
| cosec_ | wxl: sudo rsync -azvv dpkg -l | 22:03 |
| cosec_ | should save all my packages | 22:03 |
| wxl | cosec_: yeah, no. dpkg -l just gives you a test list | 22:04 |
| cosec_ | ya ? | 22:04 |
| genii | um...no | 22:04 |
| wxl | text sorry | 22:04 |
| wxl | then you can later step through it and install all the packages | 22:04 |
| wxl | a `while` command in bash could do this | 22:04 |
| wxl | so it would automatically install everything for you | 22:04 |
| cosec_ | i see | 22:04 |
| cosec_ | so i just save the list | 22:04 |
| wxl | cosec_: dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' > ~/mylistoffiles | 22:05 |
| cosec_ | and restore everything using a bash | 22:05 |
| cosec_ | cool | 22:05 |
| wxl | the basic deal is once you have that, you have the `while` command step through eveery line | 22:05 |
| wxl | and for each like, apt-get install each package | 22:05 |
| cosec_ | as in a while loop in c ? | 22:06 |
| wxl | if you'd rather code it in c, you can :) | 22:06 |
| cosec_ | wahahaha | 22:06 |
| cosec_ | any tutorials on how to 'while' | 22:07 |
| cosec_ | ? | 22:07 |
| krytarik | cosec_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/17823/how-to-list-all-installed-packages | 22:07 |
| cosec_ | using bash | 22:07 |
| wxl | while read line; do sudo apt -y install $line; done < ~/mylistoffiles | 22:08 |
| cosec_ | ty krytarik and wxl | 22:13 |
