xubuntu94w | hello | 10:56 |
---|---|---|
knome | hello | 11:02 |
xubuntu94w | hi there i need some assistance | 11:04 |
xubuntu94w | if you are able to do that it would be appreicated | 11:05 |
knome | ask the question and we will find out | 11:05 |
xubuntu94w | thank you | 11:07 |
xubuntu94w | probably a silly question | 11:07 |
xubuntu94w | i have been a windows user for 15+ years | 11:08 |
xubuntu94w | i got no idea how to install anything on linux | 11:08 |
xubuntu94w | how do i install programs? | 11:08 |
knome | use the "software" application found in the menu | 11:09 |
xubuntu94w | it wont load | 11:09 |
knome | which xubuntu version are you using? | 11:09 |
xubuntu94w | at first it was crashing, then it stopped giving an error | 11:09 |
xubuntu94w | 16.4.1 | 11:10 |
xubuntu94w | but now when i try to open it just looks like its loading | 11:10 |
knome | ok, open a terminal from the menu, then run the following command in it: | 11:11 |
knome | rm ~/.local/share/gnome-software/* | 11:11 |
xubuntu94w | no icons or anything show everything is white with 3 dots | 11:11 |
xubuntu94w | ok this is a command in terminal? | 11:11 |
knome | (you might want to close the software window first) | 11:11 |
knome | yes | 11:11 |
knome | then try opening software again | 11:11 |
xubuntu94w | without the asterisc? | 11:11 |
knome | with it | 11:11 |
xubuntu94w | from rm to the*? | 11:12 |
knome | yes, the whole line | 11:12 |
xubuntu94w | ok software is closed | 11:12 |
xubuntu94w | will try now thanks | 11:12 |
xubuntu94w | another silly question lol | 11:12 |
xubuntu94w | whats the paste command>? | 11:12 |
xubuntu94w | right click worked fine | 11:13 |
xubuntu94w | it says rm: cannot remove '/home/pc/.local/share/gnome-software/*': No such file or directory | 11:13 |
xubuntu94w | im going to restart my computer, thanks for your time i really appreciate it. maybe after a restart that command will work | 11:19 |
skillz | Hello - since an update last week, I've noticed my wireless has become very unstable - any ideas? | 15:05 |
xubuntu01w | I lost all graphical environment of my installation | 15:24 |
xubuntu01w | The command line still works, you can recover there | 15:25 |
pmjdebruijn | when did you "lose" it | 15:25 |
pmjdebruijn | what happened | 15:26 |
pmjdebruijn | what version of xubuntu are you using? what graphics card do you have? | 15:26 |
xubuntu01w | I revove gtk + 2.0 | 15:27 |
pmjdebruijn | revove? | 15:27 |
pmjdebruijn | removed? | 15:27 |
pmjdebruijn | how did you remove it? | 15:27 |
xubuntu01w | remove | 15:27 |
pmjdebruijn | apt-get remove libgtk2.0-0 ? | 15:27 |
xubuntu01w | Because I need to install gt + 2.18 | 15:28 |
pmjdebruijn | how did you expect that to not cause problems? | 15:28 |
xubuntu01w | yes | 15:28 |
pmjdebruijn | apt will have explicitly warned you about that | 15:28 |
pmjdebruijn | and you can't install random versions of software on random distro versions | 15:29 |
xubuntu01w | then apt-get autoremove | 15:29 |
pmjdebruijn | if you need GTK 2.18, I would recommend to use an older xubuntu version | 15:29 |
pmjdebruijn | but better yet, not use GTK 2.18 at all | 15:29 |
pmjdebruijn | why would you need specifically 2.18? | 15:29 |
pmjdebruijn | I just realized how old 2.18 is | 15:30 |
xubuntu01w | Is it possible to roll back this or just reinstall? | 15:30 |
pmjdebruijn | reinstalling will be much much much simpler | 15:30 |
pmjdebruijn | recovering won't be super hard, but I don't have time to hold your hand doing it | 15:31 |
pmjdebruijn | but seriously, why do you think you need GTK 2.18? | 15:31 |
xubuntu01w | So let's go | 15:31 |
* pmjdebruijn is really curious | 15:31 | |
xubuntu01w | I was trying to compile xscope | 15:31 |
xubuntu01w | I understood that I needed this version of gtk | 15:32 |
pmjdebruijn | if that's the case xscope is too unmintained to realistically use | 15:33 |
xubuntu01w | I tried installing, but an error happened ... | 15:33 |
pmjdebruijn | it might just as well not exist | 15:33 |
pmjdebruijn | presumably this is why distros aren't shipping it | 15:33 |
pmjdebruijn | unless 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 it | 15:35 |
pmjdebruijn | xubuntu01w: 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 proceed | 15:36 |
pmjdebruijn | tens* | 15:36 |
pmjdebruijn | dozens* | 15:36 |
xubuntu01w | I needed a parallel port logic analyzer, I did not find it for linux ... | 15:37 |
xubuntu01w | So I thought about modifying xscope and was trying to study it | 15:38 |
xubuntu01w | But I discovered that I am a user with little knowledge for this | 15:39 |
knome | well | 15:41 |
knome | hmm, wrong channel. nvm. | 15:41 |
pmjdebruijn | oh damnit, I wanted to point him to sigrok | 16:01 |
xubuntu56i | hi everyone | 18:17 |
