skillzHello - since an update last week, I've noticed my wireless has become very unstable - any ideas?15:05
xubuntu01wI lost all graphical environment of my installation15:24
xubuntu01wThe command line still works, you can recover there15:25
pmjdebruijnwhen did you "lose" it15:25
pmjdebruijnwhat happened15:26
pmjdebruijnwhat version of xubuntu are you using? what graphics card do you have?15:26
xubuntu01wI revove gtk + 2.015:27
pmjdebruijnrevove?15:27
pmjdebruijnremoved?15:27
pmjdebruijnhow did you remove it?15:27
xubuntu01wremove15:27
pmjdebruijnapt-get remove libgtk2.0-0 ?15:27
xubuntu01wBecause I need to install gt + 2.1815:28
pmjdebruijnhow did you expect that to not cause problems?15:28
xubuntu01wyes15:28
pmjdebruijnapt will have explicitly warned you about that15:28
pmjdebruijnand you can't install random versions of software on random distro versions15:29
xubuntu01wthen apt-get autoremove15:29
pmjdebruijnif you need GTK 2.18, I would recommend to use an older xubuntu version15:29
pmjdebruijnbut better yet, not use GTK 2.18 at all15:29
pmjdebruijnwhy would you need specifically 2.18?15:29
pmjdebruijnI just realized how old 2.18 is15:30
xubuntu01wIs it possible to roll back this or just reinstall?15:30
pmjdebruijnreinstalling will be much much much simpler15:30
pmjdebruijnrecovering won't be super hard, but I don't have time to hold your hand doing it15:31
pmjdebruijnbut seriously, why do you think you need GTK 2.18?15:31
xubuntu01wSo let's go15:31
* pmjdebruijn is really curious15:31
xubuntu01wI was trying to compile xscope15:31
xubuntu01wI understood that I needed this version of gtk15:32
pmjdebruijnif that's the case xscope is too unmintained to realistically use15:33
xubuntu01wI tried installing, but an error happened ...15:33
pmjdebruijnit might just as well not exist15:33
pmjdebruijnpresumably this is why distros aren't shipping it15:33
pmjdebruijnunless the error was unrelated to gtk versions, you might want to pastebin the exactly including backlog, and someone might be able to help you build it15:35
pmjdebruijnxubuntu01w: but in short, when you remove a package, and apt tell you it's going to remove ten of other packages, you probably shouldn't proceed15:36
pmjdebruijntens*15:36
pmjdebruijndozens*15:36
xubuntu01wI needed a parallel port logic analyzer, I did not find it for linux ...15:37
xubuntu01wSo I thought about modifying xscope and was trying to study it15:38
xubuntu01wBut I discovered that I am a user with little knowledge for this15:39
knomewell15:41
knomehmm, wrong channel. nvm.15:41
pmjdebruijnoh damnit, I wanted to point him to sigrok16:01
xubuntu56ihi everyone18:17
