[06:07] must be the case. i have a password to unlock when pc has been standing but it must be different [06:07] no - it is the same [06:08] the password prompt by sudo is a verification it's really you [06:08] but it does not work tells me to try again [06:09] capslock? [06:10] will try again [06:13] it worked [06:13] thanks [06:13] great - thanks for confirming back [09:03] hi all [09:03] my rpi 2 wont detect myhdmi sound [09:03] is there a reason or a fix [09:04] tried to edit config.tx with no luck === markus is now known as Guest57498 [11:03] hallo ! folgendes problem: wie erstelle ich verknüpfungen auf dem desktop mit einer url? ziehen vom browser auf den desktop funktioniert manchmal, manchmal nicht. system: ubuntu-mate. danke für eure hilfe. [13:40] hi [15:31] hello [15:32] hi [15:32] hi [15:32] i just installed ubuntu mate and i want to know how to install sl [15:32] what is sl? [15:32] the program that displays a train or something else? [15:33] it's an ASCII animation that appears in the terminal. [15:33] oh that one [15:33] yes [15:33] Of a train [15:33] type sl to a terminal to get instructions :) [15:34] ok thanks [15:34] we tried sudo apt-get install sl [15:34] should work [15:36] just realised that we're using 16,10, which uses apt instead of apt-get [15:36] is apt-get gone? [15:36] wow [15:36] you can use both [15:36] yep [15:36] no you cant [15:37] i thought i could [15:37] i can [15:37] in 16.10? [15:37] wait [15:38] $ which apt-get [15:38] ???? still can't do it using apt. [15:38] hmm... [15:38] do you get an error? [15:38] I just installed in mate 16.04 without a problem [15:38] great swright :) [15:38] mate 16.04 [15:38] thats why [15:39] I used: sudo apt install sl [15:39] Should I install aptitude instead and try that? [15:39] noooo [15:39] did you get an error msg? [15:39] It just can't find it. 'Unable to locate package sl' [15:39] wow [15:40] oh i know whats wrong [15:40] run this: nc termbin.com 9999 < /etc/apt/sources.list [15:40] i think you need to uncomment the place that sl comes from [15:41] and also are there any dyslexia settings for ubunto mate [15:41] my freind has been reading for me and i want some independence [15:42] in mine, it looks like it pulled from http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe [15:42] yes, looks like its coming from universe [15:42] mate|48727, i think ubuntu mate comes with a screen reader if you need it [15:44] yes, on my 16.04, there is a screen reader. [15:44] it's the orca package [15:44] Hello. 'Friend' on. [15:44] Back to sl... [15:45] the termbin command should give you a link, can you copy-paste it here? [15:46] I have ubuntu mate 15.10 installed on my main computer and it works fine [15:46] mate|48727, run this: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [15:47] K. [15:47] mate|48727, scroll down to where it talks about universe and remove # from beginning of the lines starting with deb and ending with universe [15:56] nope, still doesn't work [15:56] you need to save that and run sudo apt-get update [15:56] no luck [15:56] did you apt-get update? [16:02] hi im back [16:02] my freind had to go [16:02] the guy with sl issues? [16:02] yep [16:03] how do i fix it [16:03] did he run sudo apt-get update? [16:04] i will try it [16:04] ok [16:05] ok it has done [16:06] does sudo apt-get install sl work now? [16:07] yes [16:07] thx [17:02] 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 :) [17:03] gaming and microsoft office are the first things i can think of [17:03] Just switch [17:03] i would start with a dualboot to see how it goes [17:03] well ye but i made my way to run League and few steam games i like thats all i need [17:03] ye the ms office bothers me a bit .. [17:04] iam on a dual boot setup [17:04] I started with Ubuntu with all intention of dualbooting I never bothered and then ~10 years went by [17:04] I don't miss Windows for a second. [17:04] :) glad to hear that [17:05] well ye i was keeping dualboot for recovery reasons aswell [17:05] but for couple last weeks [17:05] if you can't live without ms office you can't live without windows/osx [17:05] iam pretty much trying to get things done over here [17:05] isnt there a wine workaround? [17:05] no, but you can usually use libreoffice [17:06] i think some old 2007 ms office runs in wine [17:06] but the latest version doesn't [17:06] ye ive been using it .. and its nice and fast and pretty capeble [17:06] ye i would be happy with 2k10 [17:06] thats quite old i belive [17:06] 6years exactly lol xD [17:06] try it under wine [17:06] if it works then great, you can get rid of windows :) [17:07] I find Libreoffice fine and a lot of the time is compatible with >=2k10 [17:07] also one more simple question... is guest session a danger to possible hostile? and should i pw protect grub? [17:08] Gaming is less of an issue with Steam becoming popular [17:08] yeh i very suprised [17:09] Sorry not sure what your asking there? [17:09] i play only three games... lol csgo and sometimes rocket league.. they work fine altho i can tell the difference in league.. [17:09] ye i notcied that my question was wrongly asked [17:09] is a guest session a threat [17:09] ? [17:09] threat in what way? [17:10] 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] for example if i would have an Hard drive connected they would be able to read it if iam right... [17:11] its a general ubuntu question ... i belive [17:13] 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. [17:18] 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] but as far as i remember there hasnt been any issues with it so its safe probably... [18:52] 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] *don't have [18:56] does this get fixed if you remove blueman? [18:56] sudo apt-get remove blueman [21:11] Akuli? [21:11] yes? [21:11] If I remember correctly, you were trying to help out with sl. [21:12] Have I got the wrong person? [21:12] yes, then your friend came here and i told him what to do [21:12] or maybe someone just pretended your friend :) [21:12] Yeah, I am the friend. [21:12] ok [21:13] I have a new issue for my personal computer. [21:13] explain more :) [21:13] I have an installation of ubuntu mate that has been customised, version 15.10 [21:13] ok [21:13] I also have wbar installed. [21:14] I suddenly realized that i had no space left at all on the hdd. [21:14] I was wondering if there is any efficient way of freeing up some space...? [21:15] first of all lets find out what's using it [21:16] mate comes with a disk space usage analyzer, open that [21:16] Oh.. [21:16] I'm using my windows 7 pc and the one with no disk space is upstairs and shut down at the mo. [21:16] is it so out of space that you can't start it? [21:17] no. [21:17] Akuli: Yes, removing blueman seems to have solved this problem. Thank you! [21:18] On the DUA, it says something like.... / 100%. [21:18] how about /home= [21:18] ? [21:18] how big % is /home out of /? [21:18] I think it was filling about 35%. [21:19] ok [21:19] to be honest i don't know how much space different things take [21:19] I tried bleachbit and apt-get autoremove, with no luck. [21:19] $ sudo apt-get clean [21:19] removes all apt's cached packages [21:19] Yup, tried that too. [21:19] still full? [21:19] Yup. [21:20] to be honest i have no idea how to check which packages are biggest [21:20] do you have old kernels hanging around? [21:21] No, other than the windows 7 loader XD [21:22] $ du -sh .cache [21:22] how much stuff is there? [21:23] dunno, can't go up to check, I am busy [21:23] I just need a tip or summat. [21:23] i'm out of ideas because i have no idea what is taking up that space [21:23] you can ask on ##linux too [21:24] hmm... [21:24] 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] I don't have anything I really need on it... [21:24] mate|11505, oh right you need to register for ##linux [21:24] vlt, there's a setting for that somewhere [21:25] How about I run $ sudo rm -rf /* --no-preserve-root [21:25] Bye, I'll fix it tommorow. [21:25] lol [21:26] vlt, let me run my panel in english and find it [21:28] Akuli: Thanks. (Mine runs in German if that helps ;-) [21:29] vlt, system -> preferences -> screensaver [21:29] vlt, check "lock screen when screensaver is active" :) [21:30] * vlt tries [21:31] Akuli: It already is. [21:31] one way is to get rid of mate's screensaver altogether and just use bare xscreensaver instead [21:32] I'd like to know if Wacom tablets will be supported on next version in July... [21:33] Are supported but there is no GUI to configure them, from control panel! [21:34] And there will be a 32bit version on next version? Or I'll be forced to install a new 64bit version directly? [21:34] Akuli: Mate runs in an XVnc/XRDP session here. Maybe a bare xscreensaver is too complicated here. [21:34] too complicated? [21:34] i was surprised by how easy xscreensaver was to set up [21:36] Akuli: I just thought that because the "real" X server is running on a different machine than the mate session ... [21:37] i don't know [21:39] 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 [21:40] i'm not going to install it then :) [21:41] Yeah I am looking to move away from Ubuntu as my core and maybe go to something like Debian
