[00:55] <demophobia> where do we report errors like: /usr/share/themes/Lubuntu-dark-panel/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:682: Unable to find include file: "apps/xfce4-notifyd.rc"
[14:57] <carlS> Having trouble troubleshooting installing a package. Is this a good place to get help or is there a good forum for this elsewhere?
[14:58] <carlS> I have Googled it, and much of the suggestions seem to work, but don't solve the problem.
[15:00] <leszek> just ask your question
[15:00] <leszek> then maybe someone might be able to help
[15:01] <carlS> Using Lubuntu 16.0.4 LTS in VirtualBox here.
[15:02] <carlS> trying to install dotnet as an experiment to play around with it, I find that sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.0.0 gives message
[15:03] <carlS> that it is unable to locate package, that it cannot find it by glob, cannot find it by regex.
[15:03] <carlS> When using synaptic package manager, it gives red exclamantion point which means that it thinks it is broken.
[15:05] <carlS> When I used Edit|Fix Broken Packages it gives several errors saying that it may be due to something being held.  When I try dpkg --get-selections | grep hold there appears to be nothing held.
[15:06] <carlS> So at this point the package appears in synaptic, but won't install, and when I use apt-get it doesn't find it .
[15:06] <carlS> <-- has to lurk for a second, but will be back in a bit.
[15:11] <carlS> Exact messages in synaptic package manager is: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. E: Unable to correct dependencies E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. E: Unable to correct dependencies
[16:13] <carlS> Since I really don't know where the conflict is, I'm backing up data and going to reinstall to 16.0.4.3 ISO and see where that gets me. I wish there were some easier way to tell exactly what the problem is.
[17:07] <carlS> In case anyone was wondering, I'm back up and running after reinstalling. Will have to reinstall anaconda python and a few other things, but I think it was faster than trying to debug whatever went wrong in the packages that was giving me the errors.
[19:35] <TheSilentLink> hi when I close the lid it doesn't show the lock screen. Is this because I have 2 an external monitor connected to my laptop
