=== mitch is now known as Guest31888 [00:12] do you know how to install VLC on lubuntu 16? [00:12] same way you install anything, no doubt [00:13] sesame softwarecenter [00:14] andy____: VLC uses Qt, though; gonna be relatively heavy for a system that is using Lubuntu on purpose for the reasons Lubuntu exists [00:14] i want to play dvd on lubuntu [00:15] how do i do that on lubuntu? [00:15] I'd say try gnome-mplayer, which actually has only _optional_ GNOME support, but the Ubuntu people probably build that optional support in [00:15] andy____: the way _I_ would do it is mplayer -fs dvd:// [00:15] for dvd you need some package.,.. [00:15] !dvd [00:15] Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

[00:15] what software do i use on lubuntu? [00:16] sorry to jump in, but you put that line of text in your terminal [00:16] andy____: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [00:17] andy____: the only player of note that isn't designed for a much heavier DE than Lubuntu's LXDE is plain mplayer [00:17] with mplayer you would need restricted extras [00:17] can you show me how to install vlc on lubuntu please? i'll give it a try [00:18] wait, lubuntu has no softwarecenter? [00:18] it would be "sudo apt-get install vlc" [00:18] andy____: http://askubuntu.com/questions/148638/how-do-i-enable-the-universe-repository then sudo apt-get install vlc [00:19] remove the quotes, and copy and paste into the terminal [00:28] hey guys, what is the best way to install Steam on Ubuntu?

I'm having some trouble with my sound being delayed by a couple of seconds when using the HDMI output for audio. It means the first couple of seconds of sound are cut off (e.g. beginning of login sound, beginning of any mp3s, etc) but then plays normally. It's most irritating because IM sounds are often quick and have finished playing before the device "wakes up" and I miss the notification. [00:35] I found a workaround where I can run the command "aplay -c2 -r48000 -fS16_LE < /dev/zero" which then keeps the device "awake" by playing continuous silence. Is there some way to make this command run automaticlly on boot? I've tried adding it to rc.local but am having no success. [00:38] Hello [00:38] night people [00:38] Would anyone be willing to help me for 2 minutes? [00:39] BVNW, what's the problem? [00:39] I need about ~20 people to join a Google Hangout to test the stability of the system. [00:40] BVNW, #ubuntu is not the right channel for asking that [00:40] Where should I go [00:41] maybe #android [00:41] thanks [00:47] Hi.

[01:55] in stead I get things like... http://pastebin.com/raw/VDMLgSSY [01:55] that is from deluge [01:56] I'm having a random freeze/crash problem with 16.04. Can anyone recommend some debug tools... kernel crash dump or something that'll give me a clue? [01:56] Ben64: there is a known bug with seeking in vlc for some videos, why would deluge log an error if I use the vlc seek bar? [01:57] because vlc was opened from deluge === croppa_ is now known as croppa [01:58] Ben64: doest that mean if I open vlc first it wont do this? [01:58] depends how vlc works, but if you don't want output from vlc going to deluge, don't open files from deluge [01:59] it does everything perfectly except when I open a file [01:59] right, so stop doing that? [02:00] that is the issue I'm trying to resolve [02:00] use a better player than vlc [02:00] you think vlc is crashing deluge?

[04:40] jessiehe, I would guess your first partition did not actually execute [04:40] cfhowlett, what do you mean? novice here sorry [04:40] it showed up in my file manager after i formatted it ext4 [04:40] and i copied data to it [04:41] jessiehe, ah, different. [04:41] jessiehe, when you formated the drive and created the partition - how did you do it? with gparted? [04:41] i used gnome disks, which is sort of like gparted [04:41] right now i can see it is /dev/sdb [04:41] jessiehe, have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in? [04:41] yes. tried rebooting too [04:42] jessiehe, open a terminal and run this command: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [04:42] the computer seems to recognize it is connected. and gave it /dev/sdb. but can't see that it is already formatted [04:42] weird [04:43] i could try to reformat it but i have a lot of data to copy and am worried about wasting time if it happens again [04:51] my lappy become hot much quickly when i use ubuntu compared to windows [04:52] why?? [04:52] ubuntu have selinux or another firewall like selinux?

(that's why I need to ask about what the default is so I could change it back) [05:03] <[snake]> Ben64, what does yours say when you run the command? [05:03] 1, because i enabled it [05:03] <[snake]> ah ok [05:04] next time you change something you might want to change back, put a comment in :) [05:06] <[snake]> Ben64, yeah. that would have been better for sure ha === zel is now known as Guest62012 [05:06] <[snake]> it's a bad habit I think I won't want to change it back ... [05:06] google says 176 [05:07] <[snake]> okay, that's what i thought but I wasn't certain. thank you. [05:07] mine also is 176 [05:10] Hey u All ...

[05:13] can i disable it? [05:14] i am ok on Gnome ... every thing is good here ,,, except the gnome-software [05:14] thats what im saying [05:15] is there a sysrq key for going to vt1? I can't ctrl+alt_f(1-6) [05:15] i dont know why they replaced something as good as the old with a headache [05:15] yeah ... [05:15] i cant even update it [05:16] So I'm late to the party, but openoffice.com is a malware site. It's suprrising that a major project like that let itself get hijacked. [05:16] i pressed the refresh button and it just kept loading [05:16] we need ubuntu software center Again [05:16] i know [05:16] it might back ? [05:17] idk thats conanicals decision [05:17] jhutchins: it's openoffice.org [05:17] : using what Version ?

[05:20] i can't restart i'm partitioning [05:20] : don't give up :( ... it might back " Da Dream " :D [05:21] sorry if flood i have schizophrenia and communicating is hard often [05:21] eslam_linuxer: its good your being posistive [05:21] Any one used Vivaldi ? :D [05:21] positive* [05:21] nokbd: it is always alt+ctrl+F{1:6} [05:22] : Because i using Ubuntu :D [05:22] yup [05:23] Any good Looking browser ? :| [05:24] eslam_linuxer: the only bad seed of ubuntu is the gnome app center [05:24] canonicalize [05:24] its like a blood thirsty tick [05:25] So sad :( [05:25] i know i know [05:25] its just takes away your energy thats all [05:26] eslam_linuxer: do you want me to make a post to let them to bring back the old software center? [05:28] debkad: system unresponive to that [05:29] nokbd: is that a virtualbox or something? [05:30] debkad: no its a live system. [05:30] i need another way to get to a VT [05:31] nokbd: tried just ctrl+F{1:6} ? [05:31] does not work. [05:32] kwin is frozen and needs restarted. [05:32] i think [05:33] nokbd: you sure, alt or ctrl works? what xev said? [05:33] xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode /s/^.*keycode $[0-9]*$.* (.*, $.*$).*$/\1 \2/p' [05:33] try that on the terminal and see if alt or ctrl detected [05:34] googling while talking to you suggested alt+sysrq+r first, and that worked. i have a VT. [05:34] good [05:35] kwin --replace shouldn't kill my other programs, right? [05:36] sure [05:37] if it have --restart it could be better [05:37] good, i have the partitioner running [05:37] oh [05:37] in that case no clue [05:37] better to wait [05:37] everything froze though [05:37] so i'd have no clue if it was done [05:41] so I have an issue where some of my text is tiny.

Google Drive/dropbox links don't work for me. I guess I need a link to the file directly [05:42] you can see the menu at the top is miniscule. It's like this for all text in system monitor, and nautilis etc. [05:51] i have a one display that is frozen and one that is stuck on a VT [06:05] Good morning. Could someone with a KDE desktop please give me the username/groupname of the files in ~/.kde? [06:06] I think those aren't supposed to be equal to the system user [06:07] i'd guess they should be owned by your user [06:07] mpo42vr_: Nothing in ~/ should be owned by anyone other than you user, generally. Have you been running GUI programs with sudo instead of kdesudo? [06:09] No, no. Suddenly programs like dolphin run with the default settings and I thought it was because I did a chown -R in my $HOME [06:11] read access to the kde-config files should be enough, right? [06:15] okey this is a mess... [06:15] mpo42vr_: i doubt [06:16] it would need write to save the settings [06:17] EriC^^: Alright, it's 0640 [06:19] anyone else fans of the western hentai discord?
