| rakhanreturns | Hello all! I have a question - I am attempting to create a custom Live USB of Lubuntu 16.04.3 LTS with persistent storage for additional packages like clamav. Unfortunately, when I attempt to install the software, Software Center and Synaptic both report that they couldn't download the packages, and apt-get throws an error relating to cryptsetup. Does anyone know what to do about this? | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | couldn't download which packages? | 00:11 |
| wxl | you might want to use apt proper to give you a sense as to what's happening | 00:12 |
| rakhanreturns | Specifically the clamav package and its dependencies and clamdscan | 00:12 |
| wxl | probably some sort of temporary connectivity/networking issue or a mirror problem of smoe kind | 00:13 |
| wxl | !info clamav xenial | 00:14 |
| ubottu | clamav (source: clamav): anti-virus utility for Unix - command-line interface. In component main, is optional. Version 0.99.3+addedllvm-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (xenial), package size 100 kB, installed size 738 kB | 00:14 |
| wxl | !info clamdscan xenial | 00:14 |
| ubottu | clamdscan (source: clamav): anti-virus utility for Unix - scanner client. In component main, is optional. Version 0.99.3+addedllvm-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (xenial), package size 73 kB, installed size 451 kB | 00:14 |
| wxl | seems those are both happily in the right place and in main, no less | 00:14 |
| jk^ | https://goo.gl/images/sJ3f2J i installed lubuntu, but i checked just first checkbox. How to install the things listed in secondo checkbox later, when the operating system is completely installed? | 00:14 |
| rakhanreturns | Weird... I did apt-get update first. I guess it's a networking issue then. | 00:15 |
| wxl | jk^: install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 00:16 |
| jk^ | how to do that using gui? | 00:17 |
| wxl | oh sorry | 00:18 |
| wxl | we actually have our own lubuntu-restricted-extras | 00:18 |
| jk^ | ok but how to install that "LATER" if i have not installed them during installation? | 00:19 |
| wxl | you can use gnome-software to install it | 00:19 |
| wxl | you install the package. | 00:19 |
| jk^ | i can't find where :| | 00:19 |
| wxl | !info lubuntu-restricted-extras | 00:19 |
| ubottu | lubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used media codecs and fonts for Lubuntu. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 66 (artful), package size 3 kB, installed size 14 kB | 00:19 |
| jk^ | :( i dont' understand what i have to do, i use lubuntu since few days :( | 00:20 |
| jk^ | possibly by gui not by command line | 00:20 |
| wxl | https://askubuntu.com/a/89100 | 00:21 |
| wxl | ^ that's the first step to getting the repository added | 00:22 |
| jk^ | to many technical text for me :( i'm a newbie | 00:22 |
| jk^ | :( | 00:22 |
| wxl | then open gnome-software or synaptic (depending on your version, you'll have one or the other installed) and search for lubuntu-restricted-extras and install it | 00:22 |
| wxl | then here's what i'd advise: i'll give you the terminal commands, you copy and paste and it will be done. | 00:23 |
| jk^ | however in Preferences->Software and updates->(Tab) Software for ubuntu... they are all checked: -MAIN -UNIVERSE -RESTRICTED -MULTIVERSE :\ | 00:25 |
| jk^ | wxl, | 00:25 |
| wxl | now open synaptic or gnome-software | 00:25 |
| jk^ | i opened synaptic | 00:26 |
| jk^ | "Packages manager" | 00:26 |
| wxl | now search for lubuntu-restricted-extras | 00:26 |
| jk^ | bingo :) | 00:31 |
| jk^ | i find them | 00:31 |
| jk^ | thanks a lot | 00:31 |
| jk^ | but it doesn't include all thatt i see in this link https://goo.gl/images/sJ3f2J but just " - MP3 and other audio codec software to play various audio formats | 00:33 |
| jk^ | (mplayer plugins) | 00:33 |
| jk^ | - software to install the Microsoft Web fonts | 00:33 |
| jk^ | - the Adobe Flash plugin" | 00:33 |
| jk^ | wxl, | 00:33 |
| krabador | che spettacolo | 00:33 |
| wxl | jk^: it looks to me that that text isn't even true for ubuntu anymore | 01:05 |
| wxl | jk^: that said, are you looking for something specific? | 01:06 |
| jk^ | no, i just installed lubuntu without check "Install third-party software", but i don't know how to install "ALL" these things "LATER" :\ when operating system is installed | 01:19 |
| jk^ | wxl | 01:19 |
| wxl | jk^: then if you followed my instruictions, you already did it | 01:19 |
| jk^ | i found that package but it included just some of those things, not all of them | 01:22 |
| jk^ | .\ | 01:22 |
| jk^ | :\ | 01:22 |
| jk^ | This collection of packages includes: | 01:22 |
| jk^ | - MP3 and other audio codec software to play various audio formats | 01:22 |
| jk^ | (mplayer plugins) | 01:22 |
| jk^ | - software to install the Microsoft Web fonts | 01:22 |
| jk^ | - the Adobe Flash plugin | 01:22 |
| wxl | what do you think is not included? | 01:22 |
| jk^ | in this image https://www.poftut.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/img_598a8c7bba361.png it talks about software for graphics and wi-fi, ecc... | 01:22 |
| jk^ | also | 01:22 |
| wxl | is your wifi working? | 01:23 |
| jk^ | not tried it | 01:23 |
| wxl | because that's an if and only if thing | 01:23 |
| wxl | long story short, you already replicated that task | 01:24 |
| wxl | ignore the words. whta you did is what the code does :) | 01:24 |
| jk^ | excuse me, but i don't understand, but the problem now is my poor english :\ can u tell it in other simplier way? | 01:25 |
| wxl | jk^: it is done. you did it. | 01:26 |
| jk^ | no, i didn't check that checkbox :\ | 01:26 |
| wxl | but you did what checking the checkbox woudl have done | 01:27 |
| jk^ | did i do that? :\ i didn't nothign until now... | 01:29 |
| jk^ | neither installed "lubuntu-restricted-extras" yet | 01:30 |
| wxl | well that's why you need to do that..... | 01:31 |
| jk^ | ok, i'm doing that | 01:39 |
| jk^ | wxl | 01:39 |
| Kamilion | what's up? | 01:40 |
| wxl | didn't check the nonfree checkbox when installing | 01:40 |
| Kamilion | oh, problems with the "lubuntu-restricted-extras" checkbox in the installer? | 01:40 |
| wxl | trying to replicate it | 01:40 |
| Kamilion | oh, just didn't check the box | 01:40 |
| Kamilion | apt install lubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:40 |
| wxl | that's what i said | 01:40 |

| LuMint | hello! I wanted to ask if there was any accessibility feature in LXDE.In particular I'm interested in a lens (feature to zoom the screen picture) | 09:22 |
| zleap | anyone here know about mounting filesystens please chat to ssarah in #xubuntu | 09:57 |
| laceylaney | Tell them to check the arch wiki on filesystems........ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/File_systems | 10:01 |
| redwolf | LuMint, LXDE is a minimal desktop and it ships the minimum app set | 10:01 |
| redwolf | but you can install KMag to enable a magnifier tool. it has a lot of KDE dependencies, but it's worth the install if you need it to work | 10:02 |
| laceylaney | Install orca and the magnifier will follow the mouse. Would have less dependencies than kde........ apt-get install gnome-orca | 10:04 |
| Shawn|C2Duo | howdy | 10:12 |
| Shawn|C2Duo | are ubuntu zesty updates gone? | 10:13 |
| Shawn|C2Duo | or do they still exist? | 10:13 |
| hateball | !eolupgrade | Shawn|C2Duo | 10:17 |
| ubottu | Shawn|C2Duo: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 10:17 |
| laceylaney | Zesty has reached it's end of life so updates have most likely ended........ http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2018/01/17/ubuntu-17-04-zesty-zapus-reached-end-of-life-on-january-13-2018/ | 10:18 |
| Shawn|C2Duo | oh | 10:19 |
| Shawn|C2Duo | so I can't upgrade from it? | 10:19 |
| laceylaney | You can still upgrade. The os will just not be receiving any more updates. Have a look at at eolupgreades........ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 10:21 |
| murii | can someone who has a LTS version run this command please? lsb_release -a | 10:23 |
| murii | and give me the output | 10:23 |
| laceylaney | Here's your output........ https://paste.ubuntu.com/26504983/ | 10:25 |
| murii | laceylaney, thanks, that's what I was looking for | 10:25 |
| laceylaney | Not a problem :-) | 10:25 |
| LuMint | redwolf: thank you | 10:28 |
| Shawn|C2Duo | i got it :) | 10:29 |
| Shawn|C2Duo | someone helped me with do-system-upgrade | 10:29 |
| murii | when will version 18lts be released? | 10:54 |
| LioneLL | end april | 11:02 |

| xaeB5 | hi. when i try to run apt remove pidgin, it is also wanting to remove lubuntu-desktop and lubuntu-gtk-desktop. is it safe to proceed? | 17:44 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> I wouldn't. | 17:44 |
| wxl | oh shush | 17:44 |
| wxl | they're just index files | 17:44 |
| wxl | you can remove them | 17:44 |
| wxl | BUT if the content of lubuntu-desktop changes in fhte future you won't get those | 17:44 |
| xaeB5 | what do you mean by the content of lubuntu-desktop changing? | 17:45 |
| wxl | lubuntu-desktop is an index, basically | 17:46 |
| wxl | it says "install all these apps" | 17:46 |
| wxl | with it installed, if we switch what apps make up lubuntu-desktop, you'll get those new changes in the future | 17:46 |
| wxl | without, the system stays as is | 17:46 |
| xaeB5 | oh | 17:46 |
| xaeB5 | hmm | 17:47 |
| xaeB5 | is that likely/common that it would get changed? | 17:48 |
| wxl | no, but nothing's impossible | 17:48 |
| xaeB5 | ok i'll risk it then | 17:48 |
| wxl | just replace all the offending parts of pidgin with blank files. problem solved. | 17:48 |
| wxl | is hard drive space really THAT much of an issue? | 17:49 |
| xaeB5 | well i didn't see the point in having two chat clients and two torrent clients installed, it's not about the HD space | 17:50 |
| xaeB5 | i'll just leave them i guess | 17:50 |
| wxl | it's not going to hurt you | 17:50 |
| wxl | if it's visually difficult for you, you can remove them from your menu | 17:50 |
| xaeB5 | that's true | 17:51 |
| xaeB5 | i have a strange issue where when i lock my screen and come back to it later, it's slow to bring up the password dialog, and when i enter the password it always goes to a black screen and thinks for 5 seconds, then gives me the password dialog again as if it didn't accept it the first time, but the second attempt always workas | 17:52 |
| xaeB5 | lol | 17:53 |
| xaeB5 | i can eventually get in on the second attempt so it's not urgent, but i'm throwing it out there in case anyone here has that issue and fixed it somehow | 17:53 |
| wxl | never heard of it. you can always file a bug. you might want to look and see if there's anything interesting going on in logs | 17:54 |
| wxl | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-locker/+bug/1631715 | 17:55 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1631715 in light-locker (Ubuntu) "Password required twice returning from suspend" [Undecided,New] | 17:55 |
| xaeB5 | yea that sounds like my bug exactly | 18:06 |
| wxl | jk^: oh. i should have paid more attention. that's not an error. it's a warning, thus the "w." | 18:42 |
| jk^ | wxl, i don't understand :\ | 18:48 |
| wxl | jk^: you don't have a problem. | 18:48 |
| jk^ | ok, now i understand | 18:50 |
| jk^ | why i get this error? W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '/var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/adobe-flashplugin_20180109.1.orig.tar.gz' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permesso negato) | 18:50 |
| jk^ | Installing from local file /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/adobe-flashplugin_20180109.1.orig.tar.gz | 18:50 |
| wxl | it's not an error | 18:50 |
| wxl | it's a warning | 18:50 |
| jk^ | maybe, because i have chromiun opened? | 18:50 |
| wxl | the "w" at the beginning stands for warning | 18:50 |
| jk^ | so when it tries to install flash player, it ecountered a problem? | 18:51 |
| wxl | no | 18:51 |
| wxl | i think it will be difficult for me to explain this to you given the language issues | 18:51 |
| wxl | so just trust me | 18:51 |
| wxl | but if you must: apt changed its security methodology for fetchers (which are rarely used in *OPEN SOURCE* software, but are common for nonfree stuff). the way it's set up, it works, but it's not ideal, given that. so it gives a warning. | 18:52 |
| wxl | as a general rule, if you see a warning, you probably don't need to worry about it. | 18:53 |
| jk^ | ok | 19:02 |
| jk^ | wxl | 19:04 |
| siloxid | I'm running a different window manager from ~/.xsession. but when I apt dist-upgrade my system, it starts ignoring the .xsession file and drops me into the default window manager. what is it looking for to load the WM I want if not the traditional .xsession file? | 19:07 |
