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