| xubuntu10w | hello everyone, just downloaded 16.04 and noticed a tiny issue with the installer, can I just leave this here with somebody? | 00:01 |

| DrCool | I think there is a website to report bugs | 00:02 |
| DrCool | and make sure it's not already reported. | 00:03 |
| squinty | !bugs | 00:23 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 00:23 |
| xubuntu50w | hello, I came here from the xubuntu support page. I just installed 16.04 and it's working mostly fine so far, but the software center is completely empty. Is this is known issue? Are there any solutions? | 00:31 |
| xubuntu50w | It looks like this no matter what I do (link to screenshot): http://imgur.com/YBra8t7 | 00:35 |
| xubuntu50w | I also tried to download chrome via the .deb file. When opened in Software, it just shows a spinning wheel forever. | 00:53 |
| squinty | xubuntu50w, yes it seems to be buggy (even in unity version too) re chrome -> download chrome deb page from there website -> install gdebi (sudo apt install gdebi) -> use file manager to highlight chrome deb file -> right click and select "open with" -> gdebi will then check for dependancies resolution and if are all met then will install chrome | 01:12 |
| xubuntu50w | thanks squinty! glad to know it's a known issue. are there any known workarounds to gnome-software right now? | 01:15 |
| squinty | xubuntu50w, not that I am aware of personally but to be honest, haven't really been monitoring the situation except at a very superficial level. :P | 01:20 |
| xubuntu50w | Okay, thanks squinty. I'll hope for a fix soon. | 01:30 |
| xubuntu28w | hello | 03:09 |

| LeMike | hello. I have "terminator --new-tab" bound to the keys "Meta+T". unfotunately a new terminal is started everytime. It should be a new tab in the existing terminator instance. Am I forgetting something here? | 12:01 |
| newbie89 | I have upgraded 16.04 from 15.10. but have a problem with Qt applications | 13:30 |
| newbie89 | that using Qt5, Qt4 library. all UI font size is set to very small. | 13:30 |
| newbie89 | Does this only my problem ? | 13:30 |
| knome | newbie89, you might want to ask #kubuntu as they know more about qt; it's possible that xubuntu doesn't have some configuration files available (since xubuntu doesn't itself use qt), and that might cause your issue | 13:32 |
| newbie89 | i see | 13:33 |
| xubuntu95w | Just installed Voyager 16.04 LTS, but, right hand menu does not appear and the beta extras after install Ubuntu gets hung up and doesn't work properly | 16:51 |
| pleia2 | xubuntu95w: you'll want to ask the Voyager folks about that, they use a very different setup from Xubuntu so it's difficult for us to help | 16:53 |
| xubuntu95w | Okay, thanks for your help. | 16:53 |
| pleia2 | (we don't even have a right hand menu by default, for instance) | 16:54 |
| recon_lap | I got a borked install of mysql-server 5.7 , won't install or uninstall , any suggestions on how to fix it? | 16:54 |
| pleia2 | recon_lap: paste.ubuntu.com the error? | 16:54 |
| recon_lap | keep getting E: sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code(1) | 16:54 |
| pleia2 | that doesn't help much :) what command were you running to get that? | 16:55 |
| recon_lap | sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:56 |
| recon_lap | pretty much any apt-get command gives that error now. | 16:56 |
| pleia2 | so how do you know it's mysql? | 16:56 |
| pleia2 | I don't doubt you, but you're not giving much information here ;) | 16:57 |
| recon_lap | errors encountered while processing : mysql-server-5.7 | 16:57 |
| pleia2 | ok, can you paste.ubuntu.com how you got into this situation? | 16:57 |
| pleia2 | usually there's more than just "errors encountered" - like the errors | 16:58 |
| recon_lap | I wanted to try remove all mysql files to stop old data persisting, after uninstalling and removing all mysql files, then trying to reinstall it failed with that error | 16:59 |
| recon_lap | it's the normal story of a slow slide into madness | 17:00 |
| pleia2 | without the actual commands you're making it very hard for me to help you, but as a stab in the dark you might start with: apt-get install -f | 17:00 |
| pleia2 | that can start untangling the dependencies | 17:00 |
| recon_lap | get the generic error message again, error code (1) from apt-get install -f | 17:01 |
| pleia2 | do you happen to have aptitude installed? | 17:01 |
| recon_lap | no aptitude installed | 17:02 |
| pleia2 | so at this point I'd try a few things, like installing the mysql-server .deb in /var/cache/apt/archives, seeing if any other mysql packages are installed (dpkg -l | grep mysql) and whether I can uninstall them | 17:03 |
| pleia2 | when apt gets wedged like this it's a bit tricky, but I typically find a way out eventually :) | 17:04 |
| recon_lap | found a thread on askubuntu about this exact issue, I'll work throug that for a while, thx for the help though | 17:04 |
| pleia2 | good luck | 17:05 |
| === xubuntu76w is now known as monkey01 | ||
| recon_lap | installed synaptic, then removed all mysql packages and now apt-get working properly :) | 17:13 |
| pleia2 | yeah, synaptic uses aptitude as the back end (so you have aptitude now too!) | 17:15 |
| pleia2 | it's much better at sorting through these things | 17:15 |
| monkey01 | Hi all. I would appreciate to get some help for starting x11vnc automatically - my previous 14.04 based configuration has become obsolete due to the new way services are managed (systemd). | 17:26 |

| mata | Hi folks | 20:19 |
| mata | im new to linux | 20:19 |
| knome | hello | 20:19 |
| mata | just switched from win | 20:19 |
| mata | using xubuntu | 20:19 |
| mata | which is great, so far eeverething is working but having problems vith viber, installs good but wont open... googled everywhere but no solution | 20:20 |
| mata | telegram is working great | 20:20 |
| mata | get it, this is not a helpdesk... | 20:21 |
| knome | this is the support channel, but everyone is a volunteer; answers will often likely take more than 2 minutes to appear | 20:22 |
| mata | there are many factors that i shud present and then ask for help | 20:22 |
| mata | i know, but im asking stupid qouestin | 20:22 |
| mata | just realized | 20:22 |
| knome | i don't even know what viber is - is it available in the ubuntu repositories or only somewhere else? | 20:22 |
| knome | if only somewhere else, the suggested method is to ask for help from the maintainer | 20:22 |
| mata | on their official site there is .deb pakacke | 20:23 |
| Fohlen | anyone has an idea how'd I "totally" clear the Whisker menu? I've modified it in like Ubuntu 12.10 with some manual entries (Eclipse and Steam) and since then stuff resides there. Couldn't figure out a way to do it | 20:24 |
| Fohlen | just pulled off Xenial, restored backup, and heya, bullshit is back again | 20:24 |
| Fohlen | it'd be nice just clearing the menu | 20:24 |
| Fohlen | menulibre doesn't see the entries though | 20:24 |
| RangerBob | I think they're under .local or .config | 20:29 |
| knome | ~/.local/share/applications/ | 20:29 |
| flocculant | mmm | 20:30 |
| flocculant | knome: not sure - I have Acs - runs lo calc with q spreadsheet - not finding it | 20:31 |
| Fohlen | knome: furthermore the menu arrangement is not as in default install. I also miss the "Software Center" for some reasons | 20:31 |
| Fohlen | I'd be happy for some sort of "reset that stuff." option | 20:31 |
| flocculant | Fohlen: the software centre thing is in itself not really a support issue - we had no real option there | 20:34 |
| flocculant | either keep the old one - and lose all support | 20:34 |
| flocculant | or move to new one - and keep support | 20:34 |
| flocculant | change back to synaptic - and lose the options available from usc or gs | 20:35 |
| flocculant | alternatively - we could move, then let people know the downside to it - and possible ways to mitigate the issues | 20:35 |
| flocculant | which we are looking to do pretty soon | 20:35 |
| Fohlen | alrighty. Cleared everything from .local/share and .config and now I got a nice little menu back again | 20:36 |
| Fohlen | flocculant: but (correct me if I am mistaken), Xubuntu does ship some "App Centre", doesn't it? Because I really can't find it, but I used it on first-login | 20:37 |
| flocculant | Fohlen: mmm - software iirc | 20:37 |
| Fohlen | flocculant: what's the package called? | 20:37 |
| Fohlen | :D | 20:37 |
| flocculant | well | 20:37 |
| Fohlen | it seems to be gone on my computer. Might been removed during the upgrade, hmm. | 20:38 |
| flocculant | the official name is GNOME Software - should be found with software in whisker | 20:38 |
| Fohlen | nope | 20:38 |
| flocculant | Fohlen: oh right - shouldn't have been lost | 20:38 |
| flocculant | dpkg -l gnome-software | 20:39 |
| Fohlen | it's there, although the menu entry is lost | 20:40 |
| flocculant | mmm | 20:40 |
| Fohlen | maybe apt-get purge && reinstall will bring it back! | 20:40 |
| flocculant | apt-get reinstall perhaps | 20:40 |
| flocculant | snap :) | 20:40 |
| Fohlen | flocculant: purge && reinstall brought it back :) | 20:43 |
| Fohlen | this one is lovely. Much easier to work with than Canonical's thing | 20:44 |
| Fohlen | and not so blunted with advertising (...) | 20:44 |
| flocculant | Fohlen: well | 20:44 |
| flocculant | great till you try and find something that's not got a gui, great till you install something like amarok | 20:45 |
| Fohlen | :D | 20:45 |
| flocculant | won't find non-gui apps, leaves all dependencies behind ;) | 20:46 |
| Fohlen | that's the trouble you go along with apt-get | 20:46 |
| Fohlen | :D | 20:46 |
| * flocculant reported these issues - should still be on the notes | 20:46 | |
| flocculant | Fohlen: well the old usc dealt with dependencies seemingly | 20:46 |
| flocculant | not that I'm completely sure - either terminal or synaptic here :D | 20:47 |
| Fohlen | did it? Always messed up for me anyhow.. I tend to "clean behind" with terminal after everything I do | 20:47 |
| Fohlen | :D | 20:47 |
| Fohlen | but it's nice for some simple things | 20:47 |
| flocculant | yea yea :) | 20:48 |
| Fohlen | Having an off-topic question: does anyone, by any chance, know a plug-in/add-on for VLC which adds collection capabilites? | 20:48 |
| flocculant | Fohlen: afaik it did | 20:48 |
| Fohlen | always loved VLC but it sucks so hard for organizing your stuff nicely :( | 20:48 |
| * flocculant moves to -offtopic and says 'I hate VLC' there | 20:49 | |
| flocculant | Fohlen: #xubuntu-offtopic and we can chat about that issue for ages :D | 20:49 |
| Fohlen | flocculant: the only "real" package GUI is Synaptic :P | 20:49 |
| Fohlen | kk | 20:49 |
| flocculant | that or a gui terminal and apt-get :D | 20:50 |
| Fohlen | XD | 20:50 |
| Fohlen | a gui terminal | 20:50 |
| Fohlen | like. | 20:50 |
| flocculant | :) | 20:53 |
| flocculant | aaronraimist: that's probably useful info you added to the bug - might actually mean it IS lightlocker - I'm not technical though | 21:19 |
| flocculant | thanks :) | 21:19 |
| aaronraimist | flocculant: great, thanks for the info | 21:22 |
| recon_lap | I'm trying to stop the desktop manager to install nvidia drivers, but I just get a blank screen when I do a sudo service lightdm stop , any ideas? | 21:35 |
| flocculant | recon_lap: I assume you have a need to not use the repos driver is the only thing I'd say | 21:36 |
| recon_lap | flocculant: the one's in the repos are not working very well, only get one screen size | 21:37 |
| flocculant | if so you'd be better to do that in vt1 or something - vt7 is gui land | 21:37 |
| flocculant | I'd assume at least | 21:37 |
| recon_lap | seem to be having trouble getting grub to remember nomodeset parameter as well | 21:38 |
| flocculant | do it in vt1 - sudo update-grub, actually manually edit /etc/default/grub if necessary | 21:38 |
| recon_lap | update-grub does not seem to be saving that option to the boot parameters | 21:39 |
| flocculant | sudo nano /etc/default/grub | 21:39 |
| flocculant | make sure it's there - add it if not - update-grub | 21:40 |
| flocculant | is what I would do | 21:40 |
| recon_lap | flocculant: thx, and ctrl+alt+f2 get me down to a low level run level | 21:41 |
| flocculant | not sure - thought you had to boot to low level | 21:42 |
| recon_lap | well, fingers crossed I don't explode my system :) this brings back memory s of 2006 | 21:44 |
| flocculant | :) | 21:45 |
| recon_lap | well, that was a bust, can't load module | 22:08 |
