kDycu | Hi! I'm on lubuntu 14 and I don't seem to have lxsession-default-apps | 06:42 |
---|---|---|
tsimonq2 | kDycu: Lubuntu 14.04 LTS is no longer officially supported by the Lubuntu team. | 07:03 |
tsimonq2 | kDycu: It's supported by Ubuntu/Canonical, the base is, but Lubuntu 14.04 as a desktop is no longer supported. | 07:04 |
tsimonq2 | kDycu: That being said, I'll try to help you anyways. :) | 07:04 |
tsimonq2 | kDycu: Why don't you just install lxsession-default-apps? :P | 07:04 |
kDycu | apt-get doesn't seem to be able to find it | 07:05 |
kDycu | I'm sort of chained to 14.04 because upgrading seems to break the one completely unsupported/abandoned program I need my lubuntu install for | 07:06 |
tsimonq2 | kDycu: And what program is that? | 07:06 |
kDycu | It's complicated-- but it's essentially a bit of emulation software for a pinball game | 07:07 |
kDycu | like an actual physical real world cabinet | 07:07 |
kDycu | it's called Pinbox | 07:07 |
tsimonq2 | Oh, interesting. | 07:07 |
tsimonq2 | And just out of curiosity, why does that chain you to 14.04? :) | 07:08 |
kDycu | the way it autostarts seems to break if I upgrade further | 07:08 |
kDycu | It autostarts out of init.d which if I understand correctly is no longer used after 14 | 07:09 |
kDycu | I tried upgrading to 16 a few days and found that out :/ | 07:09 |
kDycu | the only reason I wanted to upgrade was to try and solve an intermittent no audio problem on boot, and I was sort of hoping upgrading would fix it | 07:10 |
tsimonq2 | Ah, ok. | 07:10 |
tsimonq2 | kDycu: How'd you install the emulation software? | 07:10 |
tsimonq2 | Is it in the repos somewhere or via another website? | 07:10 |
kDycu | it came packaged as a live disc install | 07:11 |
kDycu | it's technically "warez" so it's unobtanium at this point | 07:11 |
kDycu | I just have a copy saved somewhere from when it was available | 07:11 |
kDycu | but it's literally the only option I have for running these pinball machines. they came out in 2000 and the proprietary hardware is long since dead. Pinbox is a cracked version of Nucore which was for like a year a brief modern solution but they've been on indefinite hiatus for several years now | 07:13 |
tsimonq2 | This is interesting... | 07:14 |
tsimonq2 | I've never had this sort of situation before | 07:14 |
tsimonq2 | Right now I'm playing locally with an LXD container and seeing if I can run X apps in that | 07:14 |
tsimonq2 | kDycu: Because if you only have a binary and not a tarball, an option could be to update your system but containerize this application in a 14.04 environment | 07:15 |
tsimonq2 | Oh no he left | 07:19 |
tsimonq2 | Anyways, I think this is interesting enough to play with it locally | 07:19 |
tsimonq2 | Maybe I'll write a blog post or something | 07:19 |
NinjaKirby | Could I be cheeky and ask, what 'command' should I use with Lubuntu 16.04.1 in a cron job to restart the machine? | 09:41 |
NinjaKirby | I've done a little research and apparently different distributions don't all use "@reboot" | 09:43 |
tsimonq2 | NinjaKirby: Lubuntu works with @reboot :) | 09:55 |
NinjaKirby | Ah, many thanks tsimonq2 :) | 10:14 |
Zborg | is upgrading from 16.10 to 17.04 on a public network via do-release-upgrade safe? | 12:11 |

LimaDELTA | BONJOUR, depuis l'installation de lunbutu 17.04 sur un PC portable fuijitsu Siemens je ne suis pas parvenu à ramener la résolution de l'écran au 1280x800 normaux. L'affichage est bloqué sur 640x480. Que faire? | 17:35 |

ubottu | LimaDELTA: Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 17:37 |
LimaDELTA | I'll give it a try. Be indilgent aubout my spelling! How coul i bring the screen résolution to 1280x800 when it is stubornly pretending that it can't do anything but 640x480? Thks! | 17:40 |
LimaDELTA | Is there anybody out there? | 17:53 |
wxl | LimaDELTA: pastebin the results of the xrandr command, which should list your cards and their capacities | 17:54 |
LimaDELTA | IThanks wxl i should tape xrandr in the terminal right? | 17:56 |
LimaDELTA | xrandr | 17:56 |
wxl | LimaDELTA: yep. you can do `xrandr | pastebinit` if you have pastebinit installed, which will print out a url to the pastebin, which you can copy here | 17:56 |
wxl | more info: | 17:56 |
wxl | !pastebinit | 17:56 |
ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit | 17:56 |
LimaDELTA | Im' trying! Got to say that i've got a segond problem as the language is French but the keyboard seem's to be some type of qwerty | 17:58 |
wxl | not being french that creates a little dilemma regarding how to fix that | 17:59 |
wxl | but assumedly: | 17:59 |
wxl | setxkbmap -layout fr | 17:59 |
