[06:03] <nick__> hi i have lost my sudo password what do i do?
[06:04] <Astro7467> your sudo password is your password - so do you have auto-login enabled and now forgotten your password?
[06:07] <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
[06:08] <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
[06:09] <Astro7467> capslock?
[06:10] <nick__> will try again
[06:13] <nick__> it worked
[06:13] <nick__> thanks
[06:13] <Astro7467> great - thanks for confirming back

[13:40] <picaro1298> hi
[15:31] <mate|48727> hello
[15:32] <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?
[15:33] <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 :)
[15:34] <mate|48727> ok thanks
[15:34] <mate|48727> we tried sudo apt-get install sl
[15:34] <Akuli> should work
[15:36] <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
[15:37] <Akuli> i thought i could
[15:37] <DarkPsydeLord> i can
[15:37] <Akuli> in 16.10?
[15:37] <DarkPsydeLord> wait
[15:38] <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
[15:39] <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
[15:40] <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
[15:41] <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
[15:42] <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
[15:44] <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...
[15:45] <Akuli> the termbin command should give you a link, can you copy-paste it here?
[15:46] <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
[15:47] <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
[15:56] <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?
[16:02] <callum_> hi im back
[16:02] <callum_> my freind had to go
[16:02] <Akuli> the guy with sl issues?
[16:02] <callum_> yep
[16:03] <callum_> how do i fix it
[16:03] <Akuli> did he run sudo apt-get update?
[16:04] <callum_> i will try it
[16:04] <Akuli> ok
[16:05] <callum_> ok it has done
[16:06] <Akuli> does sudo apt-get install sl work now?
[16:07] <callum_> yes
[16:07] <callum_> thx
[17:02] <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 :)
[17:03] <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 ..
[17:04] <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
[17:05] <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
[17:06] <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 :)
[17:07] <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?
[17:08] <sixwheeledbeast> Gaming is less of an issue with Steam becoming popular
[17:08] <ivancarry> yeh i very suprised
[17:09] <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?
[17:10] <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...
[17:11] <ivancarry> its a general ubuntu question ... i belive
[17:13] <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.
[17:18] <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...
[18:52] <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
[18:56] <Akuli> does this get fixed if you remove blueman?
[18:56] <Akuli> sudo apt-get remove blueman
[21:11] <mate|11505> Akuli?
[21:11] <Akuli> yes?
[21:11] <mate|11505> If I remember correctly, you were trying to help out with sl.
[21:12] <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
[21:13] <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.
[21:14] <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...?
[21:15] <Akuli> first of all lets find out what's using it
[21:16] <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?
[21:17] <mate|11505> no.
[21:17] <vlt> Akuli: Yes, removing blueman seems to have solved this problem. Thank you!
[21:18] <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%.
[21:19] <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.
[21:20] <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?
[21:21] <mate|11505> No, other than the windows 7 loader XD
[21:22] <Akuli> $ du -sh .cache
[21:22] <Akuli> how much stuff is there?
[21:23] <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
[21:24] <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
[21:25] <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
[21:26] <Akuli> vlt, let me run my panel in english and find it
[21:28] <vlt> Akuli: Thanks. (Mine runs in German if that helps ;-)
[21:29] <Akuli> vlt, system -> preferences -> screensaver
[21:29] <Akuli> vlt, check "lock screen when screensaver is active" :)
[21:30]  * vlt tries
[21:31] <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
[21:32] <Nerina> I'd like to know if Wacom tablets will be supported on next version in July...
[21:33] <Nerina> Are supported but there is no GUI to configure them, from control panel!
[21:34] <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
[21:36] <vlt> Akuli: I just thought that because the "real" X server is running on a different machine than the mate session ...
[21:37] <Akuli> i don't know
[21:39] <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
[21:40] <Akuli> i'm not going to install it then :)
[21:41] <HoppingMadMan> Yeah I am looking to move away from Ubuntu as my core and maybe go to something like Debian
