lubot1Juan Carlos was added by: Juan Carlos19:31
lubot1<tsimonq2> Welcome!19:33
lubot1<Juan Carlos> Thanks !!19:33
lubot1<Juan Carlos> Hello everyone !! I have a laptop and I do not know whether to install Lubuntu or Xubuntu19:36
wxl@Juan Carlos #lubuntu is generally the right place for support, but the difference is that Lubuntu is meant to have the smallest possible footprint19:37
lubot1<Juan Carlos> Which one do you recommend?19:37
lubot1<Juan Carlos> The laptop has 1Gb of RAM and 150 GB of hard disk19:38
lubot1<Juan Carlos> Windows 10 is installed, but not official19:39
lubot1<chiefgyk> This channel is for development not support.19:39
lubot1But both are great Lubuntu just needs less resources I flip flop between the two19:39
lubot1<Juan Carlos> Ok, thanks19:40
lubot1<Juan Carlos> Do you know if there is a specific Telegram channel of Linux?19:41
wxlwell if you get on Freenode IRC, you can go to ##linux19:41
lubot1<chiefgyk> No there is not they usually do it in IRC and message groups19:42
wxlthe open source world, in general, uses IRC. Telegram, Matrix, Slack, etc. is secondary at best19:42
wxlfor example, here we have Telegram bridged to our IRC channel but THE place for chat is the IRC19:42
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> hundreds of non-geek users are panicking because of the repos shutting down20:52
wxlhuh?20:52
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> a more "human readable" message would be fine, instead of "network error updating" when they have internet20:52
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> 17.04 users, I mean20:53
wxloh yeah20:53
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> all my "guinea pigs" around here (friends with Ubuntu) are giving me that feedback20:53
agaidalife can be hard20:54
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> indeed20:54
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> specially dealing with git+lp!!! O___O20:55
agaidasolution: uses salsa.debian.org ...20:56
agaidahmm - the latest changes in the packages was great - ok, settings are still not found, but a lot less crap20:58
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> which ones?20:59
agaidajust a second20:59
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> º__º21:01
agaidalast changelog entry for lubuntu-meta 0.8821:02
agaidaor so21:02
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> mhm21:03
agaidaor what it was - no lightdm on bionic anymore (lubuntu-next) - sddm is used21:03
agaidaok, unconfigured aka sddm-theme-maui21:03
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> yayy!21:04
lubot1<VikingRedwolf> wait. what theme is sddm using?21:04
agaidasimple soulution would be to rename the release - but please not paintitblack - we use it at siduction21:04
redwolfyes21:04
agaidaback in black would be a good choice :P21:04
redwolfbut does it have any theme / visual configuration?21:05
redwolffile? I mean21:05
agaidai will have a look21:05
redwolfI think I experimented with this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Desktop_Display_Manager#/media/File:Simple-desktop-display-manager.jpg21:06
redwolfbut it has changed since that21:06
agaidathat is maui21:06
agaidabut yes, it has changed a lot21:07
redwolfshowing all the users is nice21:07
redwolfbut not that way21:07
redwolfthis is lively: https://i.imgur.com/UY8yOwm.png21:07
redwolf*lovely21:08
agaidai would use it - only one reason - i don't like userlists displayed and also don't like if DMs remember the last user21:09
agaidabut - for anyone who like it - nice21:09
redwolfbut end-users usually like that21:09
redwolfI admit it's handy, just typing the password+enter and it logs in21:10
agaidaend users also use luks encrypt and place their decryption pass in some scripts ...21:10
redwolfXD21:10
redwolfI wonder if I can change the average avatar picture21:11
agaidacreate a faces dir iirc21:12
redwolfI need to study. I want to make some Lennys as available avatars21:13
redwolfI want to do a lot of things for this release and I'm not sure if we're in time21:14
agaidahttp://paste.debian.net/1007401/ - so the list of installed packages is cleaner now21:15
redwolf:)21:16
agaidamaybe one should add the l10n packages - all non english speaking users would be grateful21:16

* krytarik slow-claps..21:18
redwolfoh, krytarik! you still alive after your "Lubuntu support shift" yesterday  XDDD21:19
agaidaredwolf: do i need any additional packages - i have lubuntu-default-settings and lubuntu-live-settings21:20
* redwolf sips tea21:20
* redwolf wonders if there're already separated settings for Qt and gtk desktops21:20
agaidano - and i found lxqt in /etc/xdg21:20
redwolf:'(21:21
agaidaso let's dig a little bit deeper21:21
agaidahmm - in xdg/lxqt are only the globalkeyshortcuts.conf - and thats fine21:21
agaidathe only configuration i don't have moved right now21:22
redwolfagaida, is "lxqt-config-appearance" in "lxqt-config" ?21:22
agaidait is21:22
redwolfnice then21:22
agaidano, not nice21:23
redwolfyou also included lxappearance21:23
agaidano - but it should be for the time being21:23
redwolfaye21:23
agaidaor obconf-qt21:24
agaidadunno if lxappearance do things that obconf and obconf-qt can't do21:24
redwolfgtk21:24
redwolfergo icons, toolbar buttons, text...21:24
redwolfthemes should be qt+gtk always, and not even listing those imcomplete. and like Budgie, when you apply a theme, it applies for everything. at once.21:26
redwolfso, only one tool to configure appearance. but that's my personal trauma.21:27
agaidaat least four tools21:27
agaidaor five21:27
redwolftoo many :(21:28
agaidaecho, cat, vi, nano :P21:28
redwolf-___-21:28
agaidanot to forget sed21:28
redwolfI kinda like nano, but I always tend to press f10 to show menus :|21:28
wxlugh nano21:29
redwolf:)21:29
wxli have a co-worker that's expressed interest in better making use out of the shell21:31
wxli mean, like, he's new.21:31
wxlhe still couldn't figure out how to get out of nano though :)21:31
redwolfXD21:31
* agaida miss zsh as standard shell21:31
wxlit's not exactly intuitive21:31
agaidastrg x is intuitive21:31
agaidabetter then <esc>q21:32
agaidaupps21:32
redwolfnever do that in nano :D21:32
redwolfit's like vim. you have to fire a missile to the computer to exit21:32
redwolfit's the only way XD21:32
wxli've done some remapping in vim so to escape insert mode, save and quit, all i do is ,,21:33
agaidaesc :q!21:33
agaidaerm - ok intuitive21:33
redwolfI'm still looking for some visual-basic / msedit editor clone for linux21:34
wxlthe reality is there *IS* no intuitive editor21:34
redwolfconsole, but with menus and all21:34
wxlincluding nano21:34
redwolfno, nano is alien21:34
wxlummm21:34
redwolfremember that default editor for ms-dos 5/6?21:34
wxlisn't there a midnight commander for cli that has an editor built in?21:34
redwolf<redwolf> remember that default editor for ms-dos 5/6?21:35
redwolfdamn21:35
redwolfhttps://i.stack.imgur.com/dJQOG.png21:35
redwolffp, it seems21:36
redwolfhttps://askubuntu.com/questions/42453/equivalent-text-editor-to-ms-dos-editor21:36
agaidamcedit21:36
agaidayes21:36
agaidawxl - belive it or not - we had a short term user that want us to make a "native",  "original" Xfce21:37
redwolfhuh?21:37
agaidawithout mc mcedit "and such crap" installed21:37
agaidaso - not a solution :D21:38
wxlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Commander21:38
wxlthat's what i was thinking of21:38
wxlbut it uses $EDITOR21:38
wxlat least in ubuntu21:39
wxlupstream appears to have an actual editor https://www.gnu.org/software/mc/images/mc-edit-perl.png21:39
wxloh21:39
wxland that's mcedit21:39
wxlderp21:39
wxlbut that's not the same as what redwolf was talking about21:39
agaidaapt-file list mc21:40
wxlfp-ide looks pretty nice21:40
agaidaok - regarding the settings - look fine for the beginning - but someone should change some install pathes21:51
agaidaredwolf: as i said - no problem21:51
redwolf:)    :*21:54
agaidai will file a bug with patch21:55
agaidanot really a problem21:55
* redwolf licks agaida 21:55
agaidahihihi21:55

agaidafirst rule- never ever let programmers do packaging22:02
redwolf:D why? poor things22:02
agaidasecond rule - never ever let programmers do packaging22:02
redwolfaren't both the same rule?22:02
agaidano, not really22:03
agaidathe second rule is far more important22:03
redwolfmhm22:03
redwolfwell, if you did a kvantum package for the seed, it'd be ok for me :) and you're a coder22:03
agaidaoh - i forget the ". Really - never!"22:03
redwolfomg, sfte is soooo nice! it's like the good old wordstar22:04

agaidacool, the installer fails22:15
redwolf:)22:15
agaidaor better: apt fails with a script bug in initramfs-tools22:16
agaidaand the installed system paniced with the usual kernel panic for i386 - damn, i should download a sane amd64 iso22:18
agaidadone22:20
redwolfO.O22:22
agaidathe mirror was fast today- 25M22:23
agaidaand i should mount my vbox dir to ssd22:25
agaidadamn slow22:25
agaidaok - the initramfs bug isn't exactly nice- the amd64 segfaults too22:31
agaidainstallation - and i hate chrooting in just installed systems22:31
agaidabug found - whoever thought that it would be a good idea not to install ttf-dejavu - no, it wasn't22:38
agaidaplymouth hook in initramfs-tools fails with dejavu not found - no created initramfs, not nice system start22:40
redwolfwhy not just jumping to another font?22:54
agaidaerm - if the initramfs is not created, the system don't start22:58
agaidaand my most hated program need dejavu in it's hoolk22:58
