| nick__ | hi i have lost my sudo password what do i do? | 06:03 |
| Astro7467 | your sudo password is your password - so do you have auto-login enabled and now forgotten your password? | 06:04 |
| nick__ | must be the case. i have a password to unlock when pc has been standing but it must be different | 06:07 |
| Astro7467 | no - it is the same | 06:07 |
| Astro7467 | the password prompt by sudo is a verification it's really you | 06:08 |
| nick__ | but it does not work tells me to try again | 06:08 |
| Astro7467 | capslock? | 06:09 |
| nick__ | will try again | 06:10 |
| nick__ | it worked | 06:13 |
| nick__ | thanks | 06:13 |
| Astro7467 | great - thanks for confirming back | 06:13 |

| picaro1298 | hi | 13:40 |
| mate|48727 | hello | 15:31 |
| Akuli | hi | 15:32 |
| DarkPsydeLord | hi | 15:32 |
| mate|48727 | i just installed ubuntu mate and i want to know how to install sl | 15:32 |
| Akuli | what is sl? | 15:32 |
| Akuli | the program that displays a train or something else? | 15:32 |
| mate|48727 | it's an ASCII animation that appears in the terminal. | 15:33 |
| Akuli | oh that one | 15:33 |
| Akuli | yes | 15:33 |
| mate|48727 | Of a train | 15:33 |
| Akuli | type sl to a terminal to get instructions :) | 15:33 |
| mate|48727 | ok thanks | 15:34 |
| mate|48727 | we tried sudo apt-get install sl | 15:34 |
| Akuli | should work | 15:34 |
| mate|48727 | just realised that we're using 16,10, which uses apt instead of apt-get | 15:36 |
| Akuli | is apt-get gone? | 15:36 |
| Akuli | wow | 15:36 |
| DarkPsydeLord | you can use both | 15:36 |
| mate|48727 | yep | 15:36 |
| mate|48727 | no you cant | 15:36 |
| Akuli | i thought i could | 15:37 |
| DarkPsydeLord | i can | 15:37 |
| Akuli | in 16.10? | 15:37 |
| DarkPsydeLord | wait | 15:37 |
| Akuli | $ which apt-get | 15:38 |
| mate|48727 | ???? still can't do it using apt. | 15:38 |
| mate|48727 | hmm... | 15:38 |
| Akuli | do you get an error? | 15:38 |
| swright | I just installed in mate 16.04 without a problem | 15:38 |
| Akuli | great swright :) | 15:38 |
| DarkPsydeLord | mate 16.04 | 15:38 |
| DarkPsydeLord | thats why | 15:38 |
| swright | I used: sudo apt install sl | 15:39 |
| mate|48727 | Should I install aptitude instead and try that? | 15:39 |
| DarkPsydeLord | noooo | 15:39 |
| DarkPsydeLord | did you get an error msg? | 15:39 |
| mate|48727 | It just can't find it. 'Unable to locate package sl' | 15:39 |
| Akuli | wow | 15:39 |
| Akuli | oh i know whats wrong | 15:40 |
| Akuli | run this: nc termbin.com 9999 < /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:40 |
| Akuli | i think you need to uncomment the place that sl comes from | 15:40 |
| mate|48727 | and also are there any dyslexia settings for ubunto mate | 15:41 |
| mate|48727 | my freind has been reading for me and i want some independence | 15:41 |
| swright | in mine, it looks like it pulled from http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe | 15:42 |
| Akuli | yes, looks like its coming from universe | 15:42 |
| Akuli | mate|48727, i think ubuntu mate comes with a screen reader if you need it | 15:42 |
| swright | yes, on my 16.04, there is a screen reader. | 15:44 |
| swright | it's the orca package | 15:44 |
| mate|48727 | Hello. 'Friend' on. | 15:44 |
| mate|48727 | Back to sl... | 15:44 |
| Akuli | the termbin command should give you a link, can you copy-paste it here? | 15:45 |
| mate|48727 | I have ubuntu mate 15.10 installed on my main computer and it works fine | 15:46 |
| Akuli | mate|48727, run this: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:46 |
| mate|48727 | K. | 15:47 |
| Akuli | mate|48727, scroll down to where it talks about universe and remove # from beginning of the lines starting with deb and ending with universe | 15:47 |
| mate|48727 | nope, still doesn't work | 15:56 |
| Akuli | you need to save that and run sudo apt-get update | 15:56 |
| mate|48727 | no luck | 15:56 |
| Akuli | did you apt-get update? | 15:56 |
| callum_ | hi im back | 16:02 |
| callum_ | my freind had to go | 16:02 |
| Akuli | the guy with sl issues? | 16:02 |
| callum_ | yep | 16:02 |
| callum_ | how do i fix it | 16:03 |
| Akuli | did he run sudo apt-get update? | 16:03 |
| callum_ | i will try it | 16:04 |
| Akuli | ok | 16:04 |
| callum_ | ok it has done | 16:05 |
| Akuli | does sudo apt-get install sl work now? | 16:06 |
| callum_ | yes | 16:07 |
| callum_ | thx | 16:07 |
| ivancarry | Hey anyone who would tell me how to switch fully to linux... i know its bit out of topic but windows is starting to be pain for me... so are there any tips or common issues with a full time switch and tell me how to prevent them :) | 17:02 |
| Akuli | gaming and microsoft office are the first things i can think of | 17:03 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Just switch | 17:03 |
| Akuli | i would start with a dualboot to see how it goes | 17:03 |
| ivancarry | well ye but i made my way to run League and few steam games i like thats all i need | 17:03 |
| ivancarry | ye the ms office bothers me a bit .. | 17:03 |
| ivancarry | iam on a dual boot setup | 17:04 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I started with Ubuntu with all intention of dualbooting I never bothered and then ~10 years went by | 17:04 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I don't miss Windows for a second. | 17:04 |
| ivancarry | :) glad to hear that | 17:04 |
| ivancarry | well ye i was keeping dualboot for recovery reasons aswell | 17:05 |
| ivancarry | but for couple last weeks | 17:05 |
| Akuli | if you can't live without ms office you can't live without windows/osx | 17:05 |
| ivancarry | iam pretty much trying to get things done over here | 17:05 |
| ivancarry | isnt there a wine workaround? | 17:05 |
| Akuli | no, but you can usually use libreoffice | 17:05 |
| Akuli | i think some old 2007 ms office runs in wine | 17:06 |
| Akuli | but the latest version doesn't | 17:06 |
| ivancarry | ye ive been using it .. and its nice and fast and pretty capeble | 17:06 |
| ivancarry | ye i would be happy with 2k10 | 17:06 |
| ivancarry | thats quite old i belive | 17:06 |
| ivancarry | 6years exactly lol xD | 17:06 |
| Akuli | try it under wine | 17:06 |
| Akuli | if it works then great, you can get rid of windows :) | 17:06 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I find Libreoffice fine and a lot of the time is compatible with >=2k10 | 17:07 |
| ivancarry | also one more simple question... is guest session a danger to possible hostile? and should i pw protect grub? | 17:07 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Gaming is less of an issue with Steam becoming popular | 17:08 |
| ivancarry | yeh i very suprised | 17:08 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Sorry not sure what your asking there? | 17:09 |
| ivancarry | i play only three games... lol csgo and sometimes rocket league.. they work fine altho i can tell the difference in league.. | 17:09 |
| ivancarry | ye i notcied that my question was wrongly asked | 17:09 |
| ivancarry | is a guest session a threat | 17:09 |
| ivancarry | ? | 17:09 |
| sixwheeledbeast | threat in what way? | 17:09 |
| ivancarry | like someone would be able to use it to acces some of my data.. or possibly mess with the system in any other way | 17:10 |
| ivancarry | for example if i would have an Hard drive connected they would be able to read it if iam right... | 17:10 |
| ivancarry | its a general ubuntu question ... i belive | 17:11 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Guest session is just a temporary disposable user from memory. I believe you can disable guest session if you are concerned. At least I have no Guest session option any more. It would depend on the permissions the user had, it's all configurable. | 17:13 |
| ivancarry | i did some simple config changes and its disabled.. but if i would run linux with this option accesable if it could cause any harm... | 17:18 |
| ivancarry | but as far as i remember there hasnt been any issues with it so its safe probably... | 17:18 |
| vlt | Hello. Any idea where this error message after each new login for every user could come from? http://imgur.com/nEL3GDF It seems to be something bluetooth related which I don ahve or need. | 18:52 |
| vlt | *don't have | 18:52 |
| Akuli | does this get fixed if you remove blueman? | 18:56 |
| Akuli | sudo apt-get remove blueman | 18:56 |
| mate|11505 | Akuli? | 21:11 |
| Akuli | yes? | 21:11 |
| mate|11505 | If I remember correctly, you were trying to help out with sl. | 21:11 |
| mate|11505 | Have I got the wrong person? | 21:12 |
| Akuli | yes, then your friend came here and i told him what to do | 21:12 |
| Akuli | or maybe someone just pretended your friend :) | 21:12 |
| mate|11505 | Yeah, I am the friend. | 21:12 |
| Akuli | ok | 21:12 |
| mate|11505 | I have a new issue for my personal computer. | 21:13 |
| Akuli | explain more :) | 21:13 |
| mate|11505 | I have an installation of ubuntu mate that has been customised, version 15.10 | 21:13 |
| Akuli | ok | 21:13 |
| mate|11505 | I also have wbar installed. | 21:13 |
| mate|11505 | I suddenly realized that i had no space left at all on the hdd. | 21:14 |
| mate|11505 | I was wondering if there is any efficient way of freeing up some space...? | 21:14 |
| Akuli | first of all lets find out what's using it | 21:15 |
| Akuli | mate comes with a disk space usage analyzer, open that | 21:16 |
| mate|11505 | Oh.. | 21:16 |
| mate|11505 | I'm using my windows 7 pc and the one with no disk space is upstairs and shut down at the mo. | 21:16 |
| Akuli | is it so out of space that you can't start it? | 21:16 |
| mate|11505 | no. | 21:17 |
| vlt | Akuli: Yes, removing blueman seems to have solved this problem. Thank you! | 21:17 |
| mate|11505 | On the DUA, it says something like.... / 100%. | 21:18 |
| Akuli | how about /home= | 21:18 |
| Akuli | ? | 21:18 |
| Akuli | how big % is /home out of /? | 21:18 |
| mate|11505 | I think it was filling about 35%. | 21:18 |
| Akuli | ok | 21:19 |
| Akuli | to be honest i don't know how much space different things take | 21:19 |
| mate|11505 | I tried bleachbit and apt-get autoremove, with no luck. | 21:19 |
| Akuli | $ sudo apt-get clean | 21:19 |
| Akuli | removes all apt's cached packages | 21:19 |
| mate|11505 | Yup, tried that too. | 21:19 |
| Akuli | still full? | 21:19 |
| mate|11505 | Yup. | 21:19 |
| Akuli | to be honest i have no idea how to check which packages are biggest | 21:20 |
| Akuli | do you have old kernels hanging around? | 21:20 |
| mate|11505 | No, other than the windows 7 loader XD | 21:21 |
| Akuli | $ du -sh .cache | 21:22 |
| Akuli | how much stuff is there? | 21:22 |
| mate|11505 | dunno, can't go up to check, I am busy | 21:23 |
| mate|11505 | I just need a tip or summat. | 21:23 |
| Akuli | i'm out of ideas because i have no idea what is taking up that space | 21:23 |
| Akuli | you can ask on ##linux too | 21:23 |
| mate|11505 | hmm... | 21:24 |
| vlt | Ok, next problem: How to troubleshoot a non working screen lock? When any user selects "lock screen" or presses ctrl+l the screen gets black but no password is needed to reactivate the desktop. What could be missing here? | 21:24 |
| mate|11505 | I don't have anything I really need on it... | 21:24 |
| Akuli | mate|11505, oh right you need to register for ##linux | 21:24 |
| Akuli | vlt, there's a setting for that somewhere | 21:24 |
| mate|11505 | How about I run $ sudo rm -rf /* --no-preserve-root | 21:25 |
| mate|11505 | Bye, I'll fix it tommorow. | 21:25 |
| Akuli | lol | 21:25 |
| Akuli | vlt, let me run my panel in english and find it | 21:26 |
| vlt | Akuli: Thanks. (Mine runs in German if that helps ;-) | 21:28 |
| Akuli | vlt, system -> preferences -> screensaver | 21:29 |
| Akuli | vlt, check "lock screen when screensaver is active" :) | 21:29 |
| * vlt tries | 21:30 | |
| vlt | Akuli: It already is. | 21:31 |
| Akuli | one way is to get rid of mate's screensaver altogether and just use bare xscreensaver instead | 21:31 |
| Nerina | I'd like to know if Wacom tablets will be supported on next version in July... | 21:32 |
| Nerina | Are supported but there is no GUI to configure them, from control panel! | 21:33 |
| Nerina | And there will be a 32bit version on next version? Or I'll be forced to install a new 64bit version directly? | 21:34 |
| vlt | Akuli: Mate runs in an XVnc/XRDP session here. Maybe a bare xscreensaver is too complicated here. | 21:34 |
| Akuli | too complicated? | 21:34 |
| Akuli | i was surprised by how easy xscreensaver was to set up | 21:34 |
| vlt | Akuli: I just thought that because the "real" X server is running on a different machine than the mate session ... | 21:36 |
| Akuli | i don't know | 21:37 |
| HoppingMadMan | I am guessing you will have to Nerina, because I do believe that Ubuntu 17.04 will be only 64 bit.. But we will see the whole 64 bit only has made a lot of people mad | 21:39 |
| Akuli | i'm not going to install it then :) | 21:40 |
| HoppingMadMan | Yeah I am looking to move away from Ubuntu as my core and maybe go to something like Debian | 21:41 |
