| n-iCe | hi | 14:04 |
| Student1 | Hi. New to Lubuntu. Need help! | 15:28 |
| n-iCe | ask | 15:28 |
| LuMint | Student1: hello | 15:29 |
| LuMint | Student1: what is it? | 15:29 |
| Student1 | Trying to install Libreoffice using Terminal and I keep getting error messages. | 15:29 |
| Student1 | Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) | 15:30 |
| Student1 | dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 15:30 |
| LuMint | did you? | 15:31 |
| LuMint | had u used sudo? | 15:31 |
| Student1 | I am using commands from the Lubuntu forum but it isn't working. I keep rebooting and trying different versions of sudo apt and apt get type commands to no avail | 15:31 |
| LuMint | execute these | 15:33 |
| Student1 | It was working before. I think initially the issue was I only did the first command sudo apt get update and then just typed a bunch of commands afterward | 15:33 |
| LuMint | close terminal window | 15:33 |
| Student1 | Closed | 15:33 |
| LuMint | every instance you have, close it | 15:33 |
| LuMint | right | 15:33 |
| LuMint | now open it and type | 15:33 |
| LuMint | sudo apt update | 15:34 |
| LuMint | and hit enter | 15:34 |
| LuMint | ready? | 15:34 |
| Student1 | 1 package can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see it. | 15:34 |
| LuMint | now | 15:35 |
| LuMint | sudo apt install libreoffice | 15:35 |
| Student1 | I went ahead and ran the upgrade command | 15:36 |
| LuMint | sure, why not | 15:36 |
| Student1 | ttf-mscorefonts-installer/zesty 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 all [upgradable from: 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2] N: There is 1 additional version. Please use the '-a' switch to see it | 15:36 |
| LuMint | why are you telling us this? are we installing libreoffice or what? | 15:37 |
| Student1 | The blue and gray box from Microsoft asking me to give permission kept coming up and I thought that may be the error. | 15:37 |
| Student1 | I'll type it in yes now thanks | 15:37 |
| LuMint | don't interrupt the upgrade process | 15:37 |
| LuMint | if it's not finished yet | 15:37 |
| LuMint | it's a bad idea to interrupt it | 15:38 |
| Student1 | It was a static screen. | 15:38 |
| Student1 | It didn't seem to be doing anything. It seemed to be asking for my response but I hit enter, etc...and nothing happened | 15:38 |
| Student1 | The command seems to be installing Libreoffice now | 15:39 |
| LuMint | yes, because you executed it with sufficient permissions | 15:39 |
| LuMint | (sudo) | 15:39 |
| Student1 | I typed sudo each time before I'm pretty sure. | 15:40 |
| Student1 | Here it is again | 15:40 |
| LuMint | what, could not open /var/lib ? | 15:40 |
| LuMint | this message? | 15:40 |
| Student1 | The package configuration ttf fonts installer | 15:41 |
| LuMint | what about it? | 15:41 |
| Student1 | Is it done? It says <Ok> | 15:41 |
| LuMint | probably is | 15:41 |
| LuMint | input lowriter in terminal and hit enter | 15:41 |
| LuMint | that's the quieckest way of making sure its ok | 15:42 |
| Student1 | I can't input anything in this terminal window | 15:42 |
| Student1 | It seems like it is waiting for my response but no response is acknowledged. | 15:42 |
| LuMint | please copy paste the latest line | 15:43 |
| LuMint | what does it say | 15:43 |
| LuMint | maybe it wants you to input y or n | 15:43 |
| Student1 | I had to use the arrow key below. Figured it out. | 15:43 |
| LuMint | right | 15:43 |
| LuMint | you can also use ctrl+l | 15:43 |
| LuMint | to clear the screen | 15:43 |
| LuMint | so | 15:43 |
| LuMint | doew lowriter command work? | 15:43 |
| Student1 | Just input, 'lowriter'? | 15:44 |
| Student1 | It's unpacking a bunch now | 15:44 |
| LuMint | did it | 15:44 |
| LuMint | finish intalling libreoffice or not? | 15:44 |
| LuMint | oris it in process? | 15:45 |
| Student1 | It did. I typed lowriter and there's a ton of all caps yellow font WARNING | 15:46 |
| LuMint | do you see libreoffice writerwindow? | 15:47 |
| Student1 | A screen showing Libreoffice popped up then went away and I see it's been added under office in the start menu | 15:48 |
| LuMint | Student1: tell me it works | 15:49 |
| Student1 | Yes it works | 15:50 |
| LuMint | nice | 15:50 |
| Student1 | Thank you | 15:50 |
| LuMint | there should be any warnings though. | 15:50 |
| LuMint | on 14.04 | 15:50 |
| LuMint | but you're on 16.04 | 15:50 |
| Student1 | 17.04 | 15:51 |
| LuMint | and, secondly, warnings are normal when launching programms from terminal | 15:51 |
| LuMint | in linux world | 15:51 |
| Student1 | Oh ok | 15:51 |
| Student1 | How do I delete abiword? | 15:51 |
| LuMint | you should launch it from terminal to see what's wrong with it | 15:51 |
| LuMint | sudo apt purge abiword | 15:51 |
| LuMint | and maybe | 15:51 |
| LuMint | sudo apt-get --autoremove afterwards | 15:52 |
| Student1 | What does that last command do? | 15:52 |
| LuMint | removes leftovers | 15:52 |
| LuMint | usually apt tells you if there are some | 15:52 |
| LuMint | and suggests you execute this command | 15:52 |
| Student1 | Is it all one line? | 15:52 |
| LuMint | if it doesn't | 15:52 |
| LuMint | don't run it if it doesn't, because why bother | 15:52 |
| LuMint | u can make it one line yes | 15:53 |
| LuMint | use ; | 15:53 |
| LuMint | or better yet | 15:53 |
| LuMint | && | 15:53 |
| LuMint | like when ur installing something | 15:53 |
| LuMint | sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y programmname | 15:53 |
| LuMint | -y stands for YES to every prompt made during installation | 15:53 |
| LuMint | you want to add yes if you are lazy | 15:54 |
| LuMint | usually, i dont | 15:54 |
| Student1 | I typed in lowriter again | 15:54 |
| LuMint | just start it the normal way | 15:54 |
| LuMint | alt+f2 or winkey+r | 15:54 |
| Student1 | It started to run then stopped and says a bunch of stuff | 15:54 |
| LuMint | close terminal window | 15:55 |
| LuMint | and open it the regular way | 15:55 |
| LuMint | either from start menu | 15:55 |
| LuMint | or | 15:55 |
| LuMint | alt+f2 or winkey+r | 15:55 |
| LuMint | and lowriter typed into | 15:55 |
| Student1 | It isn't fully running that way | 15:56 |
| Student1 | It starts then stops and the message saying it quit unexpectedly | 15:56 |
| LuMint | any more detail? | 15:57 |
| LuMint | start it from terminal and copy paste the output, warnings, errors | 15:57 |
| LuMint | pastebin it | 15:57 |
| Student1 | (soffice:7183): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:23:18: not a number (soffice:7183): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:23:18: Expected a string.

| Student1 | And yes it seems it still isn't working... | 15:59 |
| Student1 | It opens and immediately closes | 15:59 |
| LuMint | idk, i don't see anything serious | 16:02 |
| Student1 | It doesn't work though | 16:02 |
| LuMint | https://askubuntu.com/questions/930760/ubuntu-17-04-libreoffice-crashes-on-start | 16:02 |
| LuMint | https://askubuntu.com/questions/927859/libreoffice-writer-crashes-on-start?noredirect=1 | 16:03 |
| LuMint | https://askubuntu.com/questions/623373/libreoffice-crash?noredirect=1 | 16:03 |
| LuMint | idk you could try reconfiguring loffice | 16:03 |
| LuMint | those warnings of yours don't look serious to me | 16:03 |
| Student1 | The 1st link you sent suggests I update because it could be a kernel issue. How do I do that? | 16:04 |
| LuMint | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 16:05 |
| LuMint | and of course you may purge libreoffice and try installing it again. for all I know you may have interrupted the installation process so it hasn't finished correctlyor whatever | 16:07 |
| LuMint | i can't rule that out completely | 16:07 |
| Student1 | I did the command you just stated and it finished. It no longer says my computer name, just shows, ">". | 16:08 |
| LuMint | screenshot please | 16:09 |
| LuMint | if you can | 16:09 |
| LuMint | or try hittign ctrl+l | 16:09 |
| LuMint | does it change? | 16:09 |
| Student1 | ubottu > ubuntulog > Unit193 > venzen > xMopxShell > yofel > | 16:10 |
| ubottu | Student1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:10 |
| Student1 | I don't know how to screenshot. | 16:11 |
| Student1 | That's the text shown. I tried another sudo apt command to get vlc and it shows only, > | 16:11 |
| LuMint | what did you execute? | 16:12 |
| LuMint | where did you do it? | 16:12 |
| LuMint | Student1: xfce-screenshoter | 16:12 |
| Student1 | I closed that window and reopened terminal and now it shows as normal. | 16:12 |
| LuMint | sudo apt install xfce4-screenshooter | 16:13 |
| Student1 | Ok. I have that program now. | 16:16 |
| Student1 | What do I do to get Libreoffice working though? | 16:16 |
| LuMint | so you can screenshot whatever you want | 16:16 |
| LuMint | sudo apt update | 16:17 |
| Student1 | Now yes thanks to you | 16:17 |
| LuMint | wait | 16:17 |
| LuMint | sudo apt update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 16:17 |
| LuMint | if something fails make a screenshot | 16:17 |
| LuMint | then if that doesn't help you can purge libreoffice and then install it again to see if it works | 16:18 |
| Student1 | It didn't fail | 16:18 |
| LuMint | for more help ask around here or visit #ubuntu | 16:18 |
| LuMint | i got to go | 16:18 |
| Student1 | Ok thanks a lot I appreciate that! | 16:18 |
| LuMint | on #ubuntu there are more people and this problem of yours is by no means LXDE specific | 16:18 |
| LuMint | that is, it's not lubuntu specific | 16:18 |
| LuMint | yw | 16:18 |
| LuMint | Student1: sorry it hasn't worked out well enough yet... | 16:19 |
| Student1 | It put me in unregged | 16:21 |
| Joana_Ribeiro | hello there | 16:22 |
| LuMint | Student1: /say /join #freenode | 16:22 |
| LuMint | and register a nickname | 16:22 |
| LuMint | if you cant post there | 16:22 |
| Joana_Ribeiro | i've chosen a nickname already, before joining this chat... | 16:24 |
| Joana_Ribeiro | i just wanted to ask a question | 16:24 |
| Joana_Ribeiro | or get some guidance | 16:24 |
| Joana_Ribeiro | i need to upgrade my version of lubuntu from 14.04 LTS to 17.04 LTS, but i can't figure how | 16:24 |
| Unit193 | 17.04 isn't an LTS, 16.04 is. | 16:25 |
| LuMint | Joana_Ribeiro: something with release-upgrade | 16:25 |
| LuMint | it'll upgrade you to 16.04 | 16:26 |
| LuMint | sudo apt update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ; sudo do-release-upgrade | 16:27 |
| LuMint | do these and you'll have the latest LTS, that is 16.04 | 16:27 |
| LuMint | if has relatively new software and its stable enough for most users. | 16:27 |
| LuMint | anyway | 16:27 |
| LuMint | to change to 17.04 youd only have to change the base repos. | 16:27 |
| LuMint | then run apt update and apt upgrade and pray nothing breaks | 16:28 |
| Joana_Ribeiro | and where can i find the rigth repository to get 17.04 ? | 16:28 |
| Joana_Ribeiro | right* | 16:28 |
| Unit193 | No, it's the same process you just have to change /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | 16:28 |
| LuMint | Unit193: one can also do it my way. just saying. | 16:29 |
| LuMint | yours is better, though | 16:29 |
| Unit193 | I'm aware it works, I've had to do it the Debian Way™ when the other broke once. | 16:29 |
| Joana_Ribeiro | so, i have to upgrade 2 times to get the 17.04 version? | 16:30 |
| LuMint | i'd do it gradually if I were you. | 16:31 |
| LuMint | first 16.04 then 17.04 if everything is okay. | 16:31 |
| Joana_Ribeiro | ok, i'll try this, thanks | 16:31 |
| Joana_Ribeiro | =) | 16:31 |
| LuMint | good luck | 16:33 |
| Student1 | I purged libreoffice then reinstalled it and it still doesn't work. Same warning errors. | 16:51 |
| Student1 | How do I post a screenshot | 16:54 |
| tsimonq2 | Student1: Go to imgur and put it there :) | 16:55 |
| Student1 | I don't know what that means | 16:56 |
| tsimonq2 | Student1: http://imgur.com/ | 16:57 |
| tsimonq2 | Student1: Click "New Post" at the top | 16:57 |
| tsimonq2 | And follow the instructions :) | 16:57 |
| tsimonq2 | Then, give me the URL of the site it redirects you to. | 16:58 |
| Student1 | I need an account to post an image? There's no other way to do it directly on here? | 16:58 |
| tsimonq2 | Nope | 16:59 |
| tsimonq2 | And you don't need an account? | 16:59 |
| tsimonq2 | You just need somewhere to put the pic, Student1 | 16:59 |
| tsimonq2 | That's just an example | 16:59 |
| Student1 | http://i.imgur.com/adRdXdm.png | 17:05 |
| tsimonq2 | Student1: Those are just warning messages | 17:08 |
| tsimonq2 | LibreOffice doesn't start at all? | 17:08 |
| Student1 | It says Libreoffice across the screen as though it is starting and then nothing happens. | 17:09 |
| LuMint | tsimonq2: actually it's a built in function of xfce-screenshooter | 18:00 |
| LuMint | upload to imgur | 18:00 |
| tsimonq2 | LuMint: That too :P | 18:01 |
| LuMint | tsimonq2: any idea what could be wrong w/ his install? | 18:01 |
| LuMint | I feel sorry about libreoffice not working :( it's something that should work ootb | 18:01 |
| tsimonq2 | LuMint: I'm not sure :( | 18:04 |
| tsimonq2 | !ask | 18:04 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 18:04 |
| tsimonq2 | I don't know the answer | 18:04 |
| tsimonq2 | So I'm not replying :P | 18:04 |
| LuMint | me neither | 18:05 |
| LuMint | i fail to see how these gtk warnings could lead to lowriter not starting | 18:05 |
| LuMint | doesn't make sense | 18:05 |
| LuMint | what does makes sense is his using 17.04 | 18:05 |
| LuMint | an unstable release | 18:05 |
| tsimonq2 | LuMint: That's a stable release | 18:06 |
| LuMint | right | 18:06 |
| helpplease | having issues with software update on 17.04. keeps saying no internet connection | 18:07 |
| LuMint | tsimonq2: turns out it's not exactly stable, is it? | 18:07 |
| Student1 | LuMint, you're saying I should use a different version then of Lubuntu? | 18:07 |
| LuMint | Student1: if you have a new install, I'd go for 16.04 | 18:08 |
| LuMint | Student1: have you approached the guys on #ubuntu yet? | 18:08 |
| LuMint | there's much more people there | 18:09 |
| LuMint | Student1: I take it purging and reinstalling didn't solve the problem, am I right? | 18:09 |
| Student1 | I can change it. The ubuntu chat put me in unregulated or something because of there being so many spammers | 18:09 |
| LuMint | you should go to #freenode and register a nickname | 18:09 |
| * n-iCe dances | 18:09 | |
| LuMint | it's simple and fast | 18:09 |
| Student1 | I purged and reinstalled 5+ times... | 18:10 |
| Student1 | freenode? | 18:10 |
| Student1 | For? | 18:10 |
| helpplease | any known issues with software updater lubuntu 17.04? | 18:10 |
| LuMint | /join #freenode | 18:10 |
| LuMint | that's what you have to enter in your IRC client | 18:10 |
| Student1 | I really don't know what any of that is | 18:10 |
| LuMint | and tell them you want to have your nickname registered | 18:11 |
| LuMint | right | 18:11 |
| LuMint | there's an internet messaging protocol, called IRC | 18:11 |
| LuMint | it's a centralized protocol in that there are servers and clients connecting to them | 18:11 |
| LuMint | the server(actually it's a network of servers, but anyways) we are currently using is called Freenode | 18:12 |
| LuMint | you are (presumably) using Hexchat client | 18:12 |
| LuMint | now Freenode has support channel called #freenode | 18:12 |
| LuMint | to join it you either have to use graphical user interface | 18:12 |
| LuMint | or simply enter /join #freenode (you can do it right here!) and hit enter | 18:13 |
| LuMint | Student1: has it worked for you? | 18:16 |
| Student1 | This worked. https://askubuntu.com/questions/927859/libreoffice-writer-crashes-on-start. Tools - Options - Advanced - Deselect Java Environment and now it works! | 18:19 |
| LuMint | it's been 2 hrs since i posted it ;) | 18:20 |
| n-iCe | haha | 18:20 |
| LuMint | Student1: you'll learn pretty quick and it's not going to take you that long should you (God forbid) have problems with your OS again | 18:21 |
| LuMint | Student1: great to hear it works :) | 18:22 |
| Mmossi | Hi... just installed lubuntu 17.04 and having trouble connecting wifi. OK connecting to ether net. I don't know how to configure wifi. Can some one help? | 18:27 |
| n-iCe | Mmossi: sure, is your card detected? | 18:27 |
| Mmossi | Maybe not. I don't know how to tell. | 18:28 |
| n-iCe | ok, go to a terminal, and use the command 'dmesg' | 18:28 |
| n-iCe | do you see errors about your wifi card? | 18:28 |
| n-iCe | or driver wifi card | 18:28 |
| Mmossi | Give me a sec | 18:29 |
| n-iCe | or use, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dmesg | pastebinit | 18:30 |
| n-iCe | and paste in here the url at the end | 18:30 |
| Mmossi | I ran the desegregation command. I see an entry that says b43/ucode15.fw not found. | 18:38 |
| Mmossi | Go to wireless.kernel.organization to get the correct firmware. | 18:38 |
| n-iCe | you using lubuntu? | 18:39 |
| Mmossi | Yes | 18:40 |
| n-iCe | sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source | 18:40 |
| n-iCe | sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree | 18:40 |
| n-iCe | sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree | 18:40 |
| n-iCe | sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer | 18:40 |
| Mmossi | I type those commands? | 18:40 |
| n-iCe | sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43 | 18:40 |
| n-iCe | sudo reboot | 18:40 |
| n-iCe | of course. | 18:40 |
| Mmossi | OK. Hold on. | 18:41 |
| Mmossi | It is installing b43 | 18:45 |
| n-iCe | good | 18:45 |
| Mmossi | I am rebooting | 18:46 |
| Mmossi | After rebooting should I run dmesg? | 18:47 |
| n-iCe | after reboot try your wifi, if does not work, check dmesg and come back here | 18:48 |
| Mmossi | The wifi is there. I wil. Try it. | 18:48 |
| n-iCe | good | 18:48 |
| n-iCe | try | 18:48 |
| Mmossi | It connected. Thank you very much. | 18:50 |
| n-iCe | no problem | 18:51 |
| Mmossi | Hi, do you know if there is a version of Google Chrome that I can run on lubuntu? | 20:06 |
| LuMint | i can't start multiple x sessions for some reason | 20:51 |
| LuMint | on Linux Mint I could go to tty2 and startx from there | 20:51 |
| LuMint | as a result, the second X session would be nested on tty8 or tty9, don't recall exactly | 20:51 |
| LuMint | actually, on tty8 | 20:51 |
| LuMint | in Lubuntu, when I go to tty2 and startx, I simply can't switch to this xsession I've just started | 20:52 |
| LuMint | how do I fix that? | 20:52 |
