[05:10] 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] *1.15.1 [05:19] 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. [16:10] Hey there! [16:11] Hey there! Is there a way that I can make my wallpaper change to a different picture from /r/earthporn every hour or day? [16:22] Roadtripper, the only solution is using a wallpaper changer [16:23] I recommend you to use Wallc, it's in the repository and fully compatible with Lubuntu [16:23] *sorry, Walch [16:24] So I'd have to download a bunch of images, put them in a folder, and use them? [16:25] Hmm [16:25] I got an error [16:25] Are there any screenshot applications for Linux, like lightshot? [16:26] TheSchaf Howdy [16:27] you should have scrot installed in Lubuntu, anyway there're plenty screenshooters [16:28] Are there any that give you a link instantly to share online? [16:28] yes, shutter can do that [16:28] and screencloud used to work fine, uploading to imgur and more using plugins, but its development is discontinued [16:28] here's a list: https://askubuntu.com/questions/6558/what-screenshot-tools-are-available [16:29] Installing Shutter [16:29] :) [16:30] oh and yes, Wallch can use a folder source to pick up some images from it [16:31] Thank you so much [16:31] You are all so kind [16:31] you're welcome :) [16:31] Why do you do this? :) [16:32] well, I don't know, some helped me a few times, I think people deserves care [16:32] we have to help each other [16:33] Wow [16:33] What is your job? [16:33] I'm a graphic designer [16:33] that's why I'm taking care of the graphic "issues" of Lubuntu, and helping about desktop things [16:34] Woooaah [16:34] I kind of want to be a graphic designer [16:34] I've always liked it [16:34] Especially vexilollogy [16:35] looks nice! symbols are always fascinating [16:36] Yes, I'm a big fan of the Noun Project [16:36] O.o I don't know that one [16:37] Check it out [16:37] thenounproject.com [16:37] 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] oh yes, I saw that site once [16:38] May I see some of your graphic design work? [16:39] you're already doing it, if you're using Lubuntu ;) [16:39] icons, wallpapers, bitmaps everywhere, toolbars... [16:39] the whole UI [16:39] No freaking way! [16:39] Wow [16:39] yup [16:39] Lubuntu Artwork Team [16:39] I use Radiance by ravefinity, though... ;( [16:40] it's okay. there're lots of nice icon sets out there! :D [16:40] That's really cool though, man [16:40] What other stuff have you designed? Do you have a website? [16:41] lately, I'm mainly focused on Lubuntu, and some paper print works in my town [16:41] Sweet [16:41] Do you use lubuntu? [16:41] yes [16:42] but I need to have plenty environments, to test the icons and themes everywhere [16:42] Awesome [16:42] I just wish I could get this thing to run a bit better [16:43] if you need more help with apps or the environment itself, just ask :) [16:43] we also have some groups in FB and other networks: http://lubuntu.me/social/ [16:44] I don't have any social media, I'm afraid xD [16:45] I'm very anti-technology, honestly [16:45] it's ok :) [16:45] Although, I am an avid redditor... [16:45] but you can still read Twitter. we have Reddit too [16:45] I like websites that don't require a bunch of information to sign up [16:45] me neither [16:45] We need afree, open, anonymous internet [16:46] that will be difficult dealing with cookies, personalised weather and maps, and other dedicated stuff [16:49] package dependecies cannot be resolved [16:50] installing what? [16:51] brb [16:51] sure [16:57] brb [17:06] Hi again! [17:06] Sorry about that [17:06] Had to reboot [17:09] redwolf ? [17:10] I tried to install wallch via terminal but I got this http://imgur.com/BiTMvTI [17:11] back! [17:11] Roadtripper, what version of Lubuntu do you use? [17:11] 14.04 lts [17:12] then please, add this PPA: ppa:wallch/3+ [17:12] sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:wallch/3+ [17:12] Hi, is there a way to make windows to snap in half of screen while dragging? [17:12] Do I type that command before or after? [17:12] first that "sudo..." command [17:13] then "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wallch" [17:13] What does this do? "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wallch" [17:13] peaceful, you are looking for the aerosnap feature. try this: http://lubuntu.me/tips-tricks/ [17:14] Roadtripper, it refreshes your repositories database (needed after adding an external repo) and install the app [17:14] redwolf, hey does lubuntu have new webpage? looks nice [17:14] yes. and thanks! [17:14] :D [17:14] it's actually the old blog revamped [17:15] Wow, new lubuntu site looks amazing [17:15] thank you :) [17:15] redwolf, did you make it? [17:15] redwolf Do you recommend lts or regular? [17:16] peaceful, yes :) [17:16] Roadtripper, I always recommend LTS [17:16] redwolf, nice job :) [17:16] thank you so much! :D [17:16] there're lots of hours there [17:17] redwolf nice [17:17] It looks amazing dude [17:17] Really clean [17:17] that was the idea. uncluttered, clean and easy [17:17] redwolf, whats better opensnap or aerosnap? [17:18] redwolf What is lubuntu.net/ [17:18] aerosnap works using keyboard and opensnap uses the mouse [17:18] redwolf I installed lubuntu from lubuntu.net, not lubuntu.me [17:19] Roadtripper, lubuntu.net is still the official site, but as we're focusing on the new site, the .net might be forgotten [17:19] redwolf ah, okay [17:19] anyway, both take the ISOs from the Ubuntu server [17:19] redwolf sorry to bother you, but what 3 commands do i have to enter in terminal to install wallch? [17:19] redwolf, oh so you are migrating to lubuntu.me now? [17:19] peaceful, yes [17:20] redwolf, lubuntu.me is better :) [17:20] Roadtripper, don't be sorry. these ones: [17:20] in one line in a terminal: "sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:wallch/3+ && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wallch" [17:21] cool [17:21] i have question about lxqt [17:21] :) [17:21] sure. shoot [17:21] When it will be avaible? [17:22] we hope it will be available in Lubuntu 16.10, fully operational [17:22] redwolf, ah ok [17:22] but we might have a ready-to-work PPA for 16.04 [17:22] so what's better in lxqt? what window manager it uses? [17:22] What is lxqt? [17:22] you have more information here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/LXQt [17:23] but it's VERY experimental [17:23] Roadtripper, it has apps based on qt framework [17:23] Is it better? [17:23] Roadtripper, i believe se [17:23] so [17:23] Roadtripper, Lubuntu now is based on LXDE, a GTK desktop. LXQt uses Qt and it's faster [17:23] Better in what way? [17:23] Ah [17:23] Roadtripper, spotify uses qt [17:23] So my computer will run better with it? [17:23] and more "modern", as the developments are going to that [17:23] Roadtripper, yes faster [17:23] yes [17:24] Will the new lts have it? [17:24] redwolf, so many apps are being reworked in qt ? :) [17:24] yes, Roadtripper [17:24] some are being ported, others will be new [17:24] When the new lts comes out, how do I update? [17:24] 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] what do you mean clean install? [17:25] Will I have to redo everything, wipe the whole computer? D: [17:25] installing from a USB or CD, erasing your old system [17:25] Nooo [17:25] 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] so you can erase system without losing your data [17:25] I don't understand what that means [17:26] redwolf, i added opensnap PPA but unfourtunately i got error [17:26] W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/lawl/opensnap/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [17:26] peaceful, maybe the owner of that PPA removed that app [17:26] I note that to ask him and replace with a working link [17:26] I can't do much for now until I figure out what's happening [17:27] redwolf, okay [17:27] redwolf Will there be a way for me to update without changing anything? [17:27] 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] so the only way is using the Update Manager. it'll inform you when it's available [17:27] I think it is in one piece [17:28] I don't know [17:28] Can I ask here when the time comes? [17:28] possibly it is [17:28] sorry? what time? [17:28] As in, when it comes out [17:28] redwolf, its seems ok, its not removed [17:28] https://launchpad.net/~lawl/+archive/ubuntu/opensnap [17:29] yes, but it's for (L)Ubuntu Raring only, an old version [17:29] I need to find a new one [17:29] redwolf, ah ok i see [17:29] redwolf I got this http://i.imgur.com/odALDYb.png when i entered the command [17:30] that's good for now :) [17:31] redwolf, i found out that super + arrows work by default in lubuntu :) [17:32] oh damn. I forgot! :D [17:32] http://lubuntu.me/tip-areosnap/ [17:32] it's already implemented since 13.10 [17:33] :D [17:33] redwolf did it work? [17:33] I think so. look in your graphics menu [17:33] Not there :( [17:33] redwolf, hehe :) [17:33] redwolf, how can i use this theme? Does openbox support gtk3? http://lubuntu.me/box-theme-0-58/ [17:34] after the last command, what does it say? [17:34] peaceful, you have to add the Artwork PPA [17:34] 100% [Connecting to security.ubuntu.com (2001:67c:1360:8c01::18)]^[[A^[[B [17:34] That'sthe last one [17:34] O.o odd [17:34] open the Lubuntu Software Center and look for it [17:34] I did, that's where I got the error [17:34] I'll show you [17:35] peaceful, instructions are here: http://lubuntu.me/downloads/#artwork [17:35] redwolf, yeah i found :) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-art/daily [17:36] nice! :) [17:36] redwolf, really nice webpage [17:36] thank you :D [17:36] now with themes downloads, icons, im satisfied ;) [17:36] good! :D [17:36] redwolf, do you use lubuntu yoursel?

[17:44] because you are doing things in the terminal ;) [17:44] ah [17:44] makes sense xD [17:44] once it finishes, the update manager will continue [17:47] it's still doing it [17:47] :) [17:48] sorry, I have to go now for a while [17:49] redwolf, ok God bless you brother :0 [17:49] :) [17:49] I'm glad to help [17:49] brb [17:49] http://imgur.com/DAUPrrO redwolf still getting this [17:49] ok i installed box theme [17:50] I guess i need to logout and login back [17:50] probably yeah peaceful [17:50] 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] it says "download from". change to another closer to you [17:50] Wait, how do I do that?

[17:54] they have better computers :D [17:54] do they make money from it? [17:54] no [17:55] so why do they do it? [17:55] for the same reason I try to help people here :) [17:55] oh :D [17:56] don't you think we should't help each other more often? [17:56] I do [17:56] Definitely [17:56] :) [17:56] you already paid for your computer [17:56] In fact, I am reading "Altruism" by Matthieu Ricard at the moment :D [17:56] :) [17:57] we should act like Borgs! :D [17:57] Haha [17:57] we're a collective [17:57] Updating cache [17:57] What is your favorite subreddits? [17:57] I don't usually "go there", only for posting at Lubuntu's [17:57] but it has an amazing potential [17:58] I know that [17:58] Reddit is great [17:58] I love writingprompts [17:58] I'm sorry, but I really have to go for a while [17:58] see you later, guys [17:58] Okay, goodbye [17:58] Wait one more thing [17:58] ...and gurrrrls [17:58] yes? :D [17:58] What command should I type [17:58] When I update the mirror [17:58] To download wallch [17:58] no one. it'll update automatically. then use the Lubuntu Software Center to look for it. it should work then. [17:59] if it doesn't, ask for help here again [17:59] or at #lubuntu-offtopic [17:59] ah okay [17:59] :) see you! [17:59] thank you so much, friend!

[18:15] Could you go through it step-by-step with me please, wxl? [18:15] Roadtripper: what were the instructions redwolf gave you? [18:15] Roadtripper, what is wallch? [18:15] a bunch, but i got a bit confused [18:16] i tried everything he said but it didn't work [18:16] Roadtripper: reiterate and we'll go step by step [18:16] peaceful it changes your wallpaper [18:16] Roadtripper, it didnt change [18:16] Roadtripper, ah you mean wallch [18:16] !info wallch [18:16] wallch (source: wallch): wallpaper changer. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.0-0ubuntu4 (wily), package size 600 kB, installed size 1580 kB [18:16] Roadtripper: what version of lubuntu do you have? [18:17] well, he told me to try to download it from the software center but i got an error [18:17] 14.04 lts [18:17] !info wallch trusty [18:17] wallch (source: wallch): wallpaper changer. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.0-0ubuntu4 (trusty), package size 600 kB, installed size 1580 kB [18:17] Roadtripper: what error did you get? [18:17] ill show you a screenshot [18:18] http://imgur.com/delete/oUTQX97ScjQg4zV [18:18] wxl [18:19] Roadtripper: isn't that the delete link? [18:19] oops, wrong link [18:19] yeah xD [18:19] http://i.imgur.com/ETN18bY.png [18:19] 1. open up a terminal [18:19] 2. type in the following: [18:20] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt -y install pastebinit && sudo apt -y install wallch | pastebinit [18:20] 3. link me to the url it spits out at you [18:20] clicking on the "details" in that box might be helpful too [18:21] entered the command [18:23] http://i.imgur.com/GxAH8Hk.png [18:23] got this [18:23] wxl [18:23] Roadtripper: let it keep going until you get the prompt back [18:24] Roadtripper, does it stuck on "Connecting to extras.ubuntu.com"? [18:24] no, now i have this [18:24] http://i.imgur.com/uHninHo.png [18:25] wxl peaceful [18:25] Roadtripper: so if you look at https://paste.ubuntu.com/14681241/ you see the problem [18:26] I don't know what that means [18:26] Roadtripper: pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list [18:27] what is that? wxl [18:27] Sorry, I'm terrible at computers [18:27] Roadtripper: it's the repositories you have enabled [18:27] you need the universe repository enabled [18:28] how do i do that? [18:28] well [18:28] i'll show you the fancy way [18:29] Roadtripper, type: less /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit [18:29] in terminal? [18:29] Roadtripper, yes [18:29] this can't mess up anything? [18:29] and it will return link which you need to share [18:29] Roadtripper, no [18:30] sudo apt -y install xclip && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit | xclip -i [18:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14681293/ [18:30] and then when it's done, paste here [18:30] (does the copy for you) [18:31] okay, done wxl [18:31] you appear to have universe enabled [18:31] so the issue may be that one of the dependencies of wallch conflicts with some other package you have [18:31] should i do apt-get autoremove? [18:31] at this point it's a pain in the butt [18:31] Roadtripper, yes [18:31] basically you need to go through all of the dependencies listed here https://paste.ubuntu.com/14681241/ and try to install them individually [18:32] if that fails, try to install all the dependencies of the dependencies and so on [18:32] I'm sorry, I'm really lost [18:32] Roadtripper, what ubuntu do you use? [18:32] lts 14.04 [18:32] fresh install? [18:32] what is fresh install? [18:33] Roadtripper, did you install it today/ [18:33] no [18:33] long time ago? [18:33] 2 days ago [18:33] ah ok [18:33] try installing libqt5core5 libqt5gui5 libqt5webkit5 libqt5widgets5 [18:34] how do i do that? [18:34] are there any other wallpaper changers? [18:35] sudo apt -y install libqt5core5 libqt5gui5 libqt5webkit5 libqt5widgets5 [18:35] i just change mine manually [18:35] i want it to make my wallpaper a different one every hour [18:35] or day [18:36] i gtg, ill ttyl [18:36] thanks so much guys [18:36] really appreciate it [21:33] guys [21:33] i want to dual boot lubuntu [21:33] i have already one distro installed(kutuntu) [21:34] *kubuntu [21:34] any ideas ? [21:34] cosec_: i don't see an actual question? [21:35] teward: how do i make a dual boot system with lubuntu ? [21:35] i let kubuntu use the entire hard drive while installing [21:36] i have only 1 hard drive [21:36] :( [21:36] its a laptop, lenovo y460 [21:36] cosec_: the installer should give you an option to "install alongside" [21:37] really? thats awesome [21:37] 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] cosec_: recommandation: backup first! [21:38] okok [21:38] i have a spare external drive [21:38] can you tell me how to back up ? [21:38] there's a million ways to do it [21:38] !backup [21:38] 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] personally, i'd just use rsync [21:41] cool [21:41] so i think [21:41] i will use Grsync [21:41] coz it will be newbile friendly [21:41] so when i back up, it should back up all my packages [21:42] *installed packages [21:42] right ? [21:42] cosec_: technically `dpkg -l` will give you a list of packages if that's all you want :) [21:42] but rsync can be made to backup the entire drive or just parts of it. actually, that's true with all backup solutions, really [21:44] nice , ty wxl [21:56] wxl: what should i back up ? [21:56] cosec_: /home is most important [21:57] i just want all the packages that i installed myself, coz getting them one by one is a headache [21:57] cosec_: you could grab dpkg -l [21:57] acutally dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' [21:58] that will give you a list of all of your packages [21:58] /home is around 33gbs [21:58] cosec_: well home is the irreplacable stuff! [22:02] wxl: i thank you for your help. i will back up /home [22:02] wxl: i appreciate you putting up with the newbieness [22:02] cosec_: np [22:02] wxl: :( lemme ask you another newbie question [22:03] wxl: sudo rsync -azvv dpkg -l [22:03] should save all my packages [22:04] cosec_: yeah, no. dpkg -l just gives you a test list [22:04] ya ? [22:04] um...no [22:04] text sorry [22:04] then you can later step through it and install all the packages [22:04] a `while` command in bash could do this [22:04] so it would automatically install everything for you [22:04] i see [22:04] so i just save the list [22:05] cosec_: dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' > ~/mylistoffiles [22:05] and restore everything using a bash [22:05] cool [22:05] the basic deal is once you have that, you have the `while` command step through eveery line [22:05] and for each like, apt-get install each package [22:06] as in a while loop in c ? [22:06] if you'd rather code it in c, you can :) [22:06] wahahaha [22:07] any tutorials on how to 'while' [22:07] ?
