[02:47] <xubuntu27i> hi
[06:10] <NewGnuGuy> When a new version of a package (in this case libsdl2) is migrated from Debian unstable to testing, will that package automatically get added the latest Ubuntu stable release (in this case Artful) or does something have to be done manually?
[06:11] <NewGnuGuy> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsdl2 Version 2.0.7 is listed for Bionic, but 2.0.6 is still listed for Artful. 2.0.6 suffers from these crash-inducing bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsdl2/+bug/1722060 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsdl2/+bug/1727849
[06:11] <Unit193> No, much like thigns don't migrate from testing to stable.
[06:12] <NewGnuGuy> Who is in charge of manually making that change?
[06:12] <Unit193> !sru
[06:12] <NewGnuGuy> thanks
[10:25] <Jimmy40> Hello
[10:28] <Jimmy40> Hello guys, I've an annoying issue with Firefox and Thunderbird, on my 2 Xubuntu VM. When I launch them from the Whisker menu, and/or from terminal, nothing start, but there are two processes running in task manager.
[10:29] <Jimmy40> for example, I launch firefox and nothing show up, but I can see two running firefox processes in task manager. If I kill one, the Firefox UI show up
[10:30] <Jimmy40> This happens on my both Xubuntu VM, Does not on my Kubuntu VM
[10:31] <Jimmy40> Tried --purge and reinstall, refresh, safe mode, starting from scratch, nothing. :(
[10:32] <Jimmy40> One of those two processes use 0 CPU while the other around 50%
[10:33] <Jimmy40> What could I do to find how to solve this issue ?
[10:49] <rockyh> Hi!
[10:50] <rockyh> I installed texlive-full and texstudio in Xubuntu 16.04, but I get a compilation error
[10:50] <rockyh> "I can't find file `pgfcircutils.sty'. \input pgfcircutils.sty"
[10:51] <rockyh> the package is circuitikz and I found some .tex files about it in "/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/circuitikz". But there are no .sty file, in the whole filesystem. What's wrong?
[11:11] <asif_> hello
[11:12] <asif_> welcome
[11:14] <asif_> hey dreamon
[16:45] <ambient> Hi, I get the following error when I try to update: https://pastebin.com/uVMQrYmH
[17:26] <drleviathan> drbdlinks - Manages symlinks into a shared DRBD partition
[17:26] <drleviathan> ambient, are you running a DRDB file system?
[17:31] <ambient> drleviathan, no
[17:31] <ambient> drleviathan, I purged it
[17:31] <ambient> still get the error
[17:33] <drleviathan> how did you "purge" it?  was it successful?
[17:33] <drleviathan> ack, I've got to go AFK.
[18:50] <plaindave> I didn't install firefox 57. I unzipped the bz2 file and I just click on the executable to run ff. How do I install it? I'm running 16.04 LTS.
[19:04] <drleviathan> plaindave, do already have a version of firefox installed with a package?
[19:05] <drleviathan> that is, when you run:  dpkg -l | grep firefox
[19:05] <drleviathan> what do you see?
[19:11] <drleviathan> I downloaded firefox-57 and looked at the contents of that zip file.
[19:13] <drleviathan> it appears one way would be to "sudo" unfurl it in /usr/local/lib/ and then manually make a symlink to /usr/local/lib/firefox/firefox from /usr/local/bin/firefox
[19:20] <plaindave> Actually, I just installed Firefox v.58 from the repo. And installed by sudo apt install firefox.
[19:21] <plaindave> I didn't know that v.58 was out, but that's what it says in "About Firefox".
[19:24] <plaindave> drleviathan, Sorry. I should've put your name first so that you'd know that I sent you the messages.
[19:27] <drleviathan> oh right, 16.04 is LTS.  I think this laptop is on 17.04 which doesn't have an updated firefox package available.
[19:28] <plaindave> okay
[19:30] <victor___> hello! i'd like to ask a question about logging into xubuntu using a username provided by a windows domain the computer is connected to. anyone could help me? thanks
[19:39] <drleviathan> victor___, I've never tried it, but: you've already googled it?  What did you learn?
[19:41] <victor___> i saw that the most referred to way to achieve it nowadays is called sssd; the documentation and tutorials are a little too technical for me. so i'd like to check if it's the right approach and, if so, if someone knows a relatively simple tutorial
[19:45] <drleviathan> hrm... it appears there is an #sssd channel on freenode
[19:48] <victor___> oh, i didn't see it! :D   i will ask there, thanks a lot drleviathan!!
[20:02] <kennyloggins> how do I add the brisk menu to xubuntu ?
[20:18] <PlainDave> I think the brisk menu is only a MATE thing, but I might be wrong.
[20:18] <PlainDave> oops he's gone
[21:53] <kennyloggins> PlainDave: about the brisk menu .. is an alternative avail~ similar to brisk in xubuntu ?
[22:22] <PlainDave> kennyloggins, I really don't know. I'm somewhat new to Xubuntu. I used to run MATE for a long time, and I had the brisk menu with that. I googled it and it only made references to brisk with MATE.
[22:26] <kennyloggins> ok thanks.
[22:26] <PlainDave> sure
[22:26] <genii> MATE is a GNOME2 desktop, brisk is an applet for it. Xubuntu is an XFCE desktop
[22:26] <PlainDave> right
[22:26] <kennyloggins> just looking for an alternative to endless scolling in xubuntu menu ?
[22:27] <PlainDave> really? I have a search window at the top of the menu.
[22:28] <kennyloggins> not here - I have 'web browser'.
[22:28] <PlainDave> 16.04.3 LTS
[22:28] <kennyloggins> 17.10
[22:29] <PlainDave> That's odd. I hope 18 this April has it.
[22:29] <kennyloggins> maybe I am creating a problem that doesn't exit. my menu looks a mess.
[22:29] <kennyloggins> **exist
[22:30] <PlainDave> Do you have Menu Editor?
[22:30] <PlainDave> in the menu?
[22:31] <kennyloggins> yep - but its too complicated for me to understand thou,
[22:31] <PlainDave> oh okay
[22:32] <kennyloggins> oh wait - just turned on 'games' in menu - do I have to log-out ?
[22:32] <PlainDave> I tried 17.10, but it just locked up. I had to hold the power button down to reboot.
[22:32] <PlainDave> oh, I don't know
[22:34] <kennyloggins> shall log out later :)
[23:15] <kennyloggins> So I installed 17.10 xubuntu - but I am not happy with the menu.
[23:16] <kennyloggins> Iam trying to find a diplomatic way to say this without re-installing, but does anyone have an omg ubuntu page where I don't have to recompile a new menu, to get an alternative menu ?
[23:19] <PlainDave> You could install and use 16.04, but you probably don't want to do that.
[23:21] <kennyloggins> I dont have a spare usb, anyway.
[23:22] <Unit193> ...Re-install just to change to the applicationsmenu?  That seems majorly overkill.
[23:23] <Unit193> Am I confused as to what's being asked?
[23:26] <kennyloggins> just want a different menu, pal.
[23:31] <Unit193> OK, so add 'applications menu' and you'll be set, it's the classic menu.
[23:35] <kennyloggins> Unit193: how ?
[23:36] <Unit193> Right click on the panel → Panel → Add new items  and select it from the list.
[23:37] <PlainDave> cool. I didn't know that.
[23:37] <Unit193> Whisker is actually a non-default menu, you have to install it as it is another package.
[23:38] <Unit193> !info xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin
[23:40] <PlainDave> Whisker's what I have, apparently.
[23:41] <Unit193> Yes, it is default in Xubuntu.
[23:42] <kennyloggins> I have whisker now - from the panel options, thankyou.
[23:42] <PlainDave> awesome
[23:46] <kennyloggins> confidently installing snaps now, http://paste.ubuntu.com/25970839/
[23:46] <kennyloggins> although I go this from here :  https://askubuntu.com/q/806780/543994
[23:49] <kennyloggins> how do I kill rhythmbox , there is no icon for it ?
[23:58] <well_laid_lawn> kennyloggins:  there should be a close button on top of the window
[23:58] <kennyloggins> yeah - I had to re-initiate it , then press stop & close, but thanks.
[23:58] <well_laid_lawn> cheers
[23:59] <kennyloggins> If you can find me the bug - I shall have a look (?) in xubuntu.
