| schnoodles | Has Ubuntu/Debian removed ack/ack-grep from the repositories? Is there a better replacement ? | 00:33 |
|---|---|---|
| krytarik | schnoodles: It currently doesn't pass the automatic tests in Ubuntu, hence why it wasn't included in 17.10 - see LP bug 1707979. | 01:12 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1707979 in ack (Ubuntu) "No ack or ack-grep in artful." [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1707979 | 01:12 |

| ivychend | I wonder about which software recieves touchscreen input data in ubuntu, cause that works better than tslib | 10:11 |
| * lordievader wouldn't be surprised if it goes through libinput | 10:15 | |
| ivychend | is it libinput should be called by an application? It is just a lib | 10:20 |
| zztopless | greetings one and all... Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of where to download (or add a repo for) Dolphin version 14.12.x (ie not too old, but sans baloo. | 10:21 |
| lordievader | !info dolphin | 10:38 |
| ubottu | dolphin (source: dolphin): file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:17.04.3-0ubuntu2 (artful), package size 3298 kB, installed size 8652 kB | 10:38 |
| hateball | !mint | zztopless | 10:39 |
| ubottu | zztopless: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) | 10:39 |
| lordievader | Wow, 14.12 is quite old. Is that still KDE 4? | 10:39 |
| hateball | (they are crossposting in #kde) | 10:39 |
| zztopless | lordievader: no idea | 11:17 |
| zztopless | but it is sans baloo and I can search properly | 11:17 |
| zztopless | like if I want to see all the images in a folder and all of it's subfolders, * works again | 11:18 |
| lordievader | Considering 17.04 is current-ish... 14.x is old. | 11:18 |
| zztopless | crank up the preview size and it's like you're watching your porn collection for the first time there's so much! | 11:19 |
| zztopless | logic! :P | 11:19 |
| lordievader | Anyhow, if you are running mint I suggest to ask around in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org. | 11:19 |
| zztopless | 14.04 is still used by a large percentage if it's not he majority, I would put money on a plurality | 11:19 |
| zztopless | yeah, I'm usually there too, but this was more of a kde thing and #kubuntu is on here too which is like kde-mint but, like not also | 11:20 |
| lordievader | Ubuntu 14.04 sure. And it still gets security updates. But I was actually talking about dolphin 14.x | 11:21 |
| zztopless | I really do enjoy my 10:30pm sundowning | 11:21 |
| zztopless | ahh, that certainly makes more sense from context :/ | 11:21 |
| zztopless | It honestly doesn't look THAT far back in terms of the design language, but how much of that is from the kde's theming system affecting it's look | 11:22 |
| zztopless | can't find anyone useful in my ff history on the mint vm, or on ff or chrome on my windows host | 11:27 |
| zztopless | oh, yeah, this is for my new lubuntu vm, the built in file browser on that thing sucks | 11:28 |

| hateball | haroon_: check with "lspci" also, if it is attached to that bus | 14:58 |
| hateball | usually is usb tho | 14:58 |

| hateball | such verbose output ;p | 15:02 |
| hateball | haroon_: not disabled in bios? ;d | 15:03 |

| R13ose | How do I make the boot background stay all the time? | 15:24 |
| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 15:58 |
| R13ose | Any thoughts on my question? | 16:46 |
| zztopless | As your desktop background? | 16:48 |
| R13ose | zztopless: boot screen | 16:52 |
| zztopless | Your best bets would be to get as good a quality photo of it and run it through google image search to see if it is in the wild (very good chance I would have thought), or just email the developers. | 16:55 |
| R13ose | How does that add the photo to the boot screen? | 16:56 |
| zztopless | ahh, lol | 16:57 |
| zztopless | I mis-read you as wanting whatever the boot image is to also use as your desktop wallpaper.. | 16:58 |
| zztopless | I can only say in my defense that it's 4am | 16:59 |
| R13ose | 1pm here | 17:04 |
| zztopless | Hate to tell you the the future isn't any brighter up ahead here | 17:06 |
| R13ose | zztopless: why? | 17:12 |
| zztopless | The Delorians still don't fly! | 17:21 |
| R13ose | So | 17:22 |
| R13ose | zztopless: nothing to do with my question | 17:27 |
| zztopless | R13ose: it was just a poor attempt at a funny.. Implying that being in a further ahead time zone being a form of time travel... | 17:43 |

| Guest87220 | please | 17:55 |
| Guest87220 | anyone there? | 17:59 |
| krytarik | Sure, just have a bit patience. | 18:00 |
| Guest87220 | oh, sorry | 18:00 |
| * D0U91E is googling "disable touchpad kubuntu" for Guest87220 | 18:02 | |
| Guest87220 | the thing is I have a thinkpad and I only use the trackpoint | 18:02 |
| D0U91E | https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjPxaLr-p3XAhVRImMKHYT3BgUQFggoMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Faskubuntu.com%2Fquestions%2F193376%2Fdisable-touchpad-while-typing&usg=AOvVaw3k2-NDjsGIOK3s10LE-M5w | 18:03 |
| D0U91E | Guest87220, hmm not as apparent as I thought... but I do remember seeing it in 17.04 of 17.10 | 18:04 |
| D0U91E | or | 18:04 |
| D0U91E | Guest87220, your here - I found what I was looking for and need you to try solution as I have no touch pad on this computer | 18:06 |
| Guest87220 | tell me | 18:06 |
| D0U91E | Guest87220, go into system setting and search for touchpad | 18:06 |
| Guest87220 | ok | 18:06 |
| D0U91E | there I believe you can disable but I have nothing to try on it is all greyed out for me... | 18:07 |
| D0U91E | Guest87220, keep me posted I have to run but am waiting to see that you are good | 18:07 |
| Guest87220 | I cannot disable from there completely | 18:09 |
| D0U91E | shitty :( | 18:09 |
| Guest87220 | Only while typing or when I plug another mouse, but not the trackpoint | 18:09 |
| Guest87220 | strange | 18:09 |
| D0U91E | welcome to linux I guess - oh so strange but oh so fun when it works... | 18:10 |
| Guest87220 | yes hehe | 18:10 |
| Guest87220 | I mean, it's quite simple on cinnamon I was using for a while | 18:11 |
| Guest87220 | no ofense, please | 18:11 |
| D0U91E | Guest87220, I have seen it elsewheere in a config file hidden away somewhere... that is why I remembered or it stuck out is system setting... | 18:11 |
| D0U91E | No offence... we would be foolish to think one distro is good for every person... | 18:12 |
| D0U91E | there is good and bad in all of them. | 18:12 |
| zztopless | Guest87220: Is disabling it semi-permanently acceptable? | 18:12 |
| D0U91E | zztopless, nice - what did you find? | 18:12 |
| Guest87220 | I really want to move to kubuntu, but I had to solve this | 18:13 |
| Guest87220 | not acceptable, since I only use the trackpoint and I move the cursor all the time | 18:14 |
| zztopless | If it was me and there was no software solution I would carefully pull the ribbon cables (the most common connection there is thin rubbon connections) out at the trackpad end | 18:14 |
| * D0U91E wonders what the definition of semi-permanently means? | 18:14 | |
| Guest87220 | zztopless: good idea... | 18:15 |
| D0U91E | on my mom's she taped an old credit card over it on here windows laptop. | 18:15 |
| D0U91E | here her | 18:15 |
| zztopless | actually, depending on the layout, and if the trackpad has it's own ribbon connection tot he MB that would be more accessible than getting to under the trackpad. | 18:15 |
| zztopless | nice | 18:16 |
| D0U91E | ok guys and gals nice chat but coffee is over - see you later... | 18:16 |
| zztopless | yeah, those trackpoints feel like the worst idea ever at first compared to the nice big easy trackpad. But if you stuck with them, you become a ninja is a see of regulars | 18:17 |
| zztopless | later | 18:17 |
| D0U91E | zztopless, good thinking thanks for chiming in... Guest87220 look forward to seeing you again with a better nick (lol) good luck | 18:17 |
| zztopless | no worries | 18:18 |
| krytarik | Guest87220: https://askubuntu.com/questions/65951/how-to-disable-the-touchpad | 18:18 |
| Guest87220 | OH! Good news! I just have to set to ignore TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint | 18:18 |
| Guest87220 | Voilà | 18:18 |

| heinkel_111 | when doing apt-get update i get error messages because once upon a time ago i installed a package that installs google earth | 19:49 |
| heinkel_111 | it did not work, i removed it, but apt-get update keeps looking for the repository that was added | 19:49 |
| heinkel_111 | how to remove it ? | 19:49 |
| heinkel_111 | is seems to be not in /etc/apt/sources.list but in a separate file inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 19:50 |
| heinkel_111 | is it just to remove the google related entries in this folder? | 19:50 |
| krytarik | Yep. | 19:51 |
| heinkel_111 | so it is not put there by some program (some part of the apt system) | 19:52 |
| mparillo | And if you are not that comfortable with the konsole, you can remove the repo using Discover | 19:53 |
| heinkel_111 | I am quite comfortable with the konsole but that does not mean I know all the ins and outs of the different programs that I can operate with the konsole :) | 19:55 |
| mparillo | In Discover I click on Settings in the lower left, then More ... under the Settings graphic, Software Sources in the drop-down, enter your sudo password and click on the Other Software tab. If you see anything you do not like there just uncheck the box. | 20:00 |
| mparillo | Only worry is that if you have google chrome and google earth, they may share the same Software Source, and you will lose your chrome updates. | 20:00 |
| R13ose | I have 3/4 of my screen is white, how do I fix this? | 20:12 |
