| xubuntu27d | hi there i have this strange program http://ppa.launchpad.net/ys/radio-battletoads that keeps loading in terminal whenever i try to run updates in it i cannot seem to find any info of how to remove it can someone help me please it just seems to run a bunch of updates that dont actually do anything but waste time? | 06:00 |
| walt | you must have a ppa added to your system. Remove the ppa | 06:05 |
| xubuntu27d | how is that done? i have no idea how this ppa got installed on my system... | 06:08 |
| xubuntu27d | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XCKDcxxXsK/ how do i remove this ppa radio-battletoads thing? | 06:18 |
| walt | I am new to xubuntu. But in /etc/apt/ you will have a directory called sources.list. In there will be your ppas. Delete all that look related to that name | 06:18 |
| xubuntu27d | thank you so do i type sudo apt-get /etc/apt in terminal? | 06:20 |
| genii | !ppa-purge | 06:20 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 06:20 |
| walt | The others are right. Best to purge the ppa. | 06:20 |
| walt | If you don't you may be left with broken dependencies. | 06:21 |
| xubuntu27d | thank yous very much i will try that | 06:21 |
| walt | And NO your command was not correct | 06:21 |
| walt | Most often you can just delete the entry in sources.list.d. BUT much safer to remove with ppa-purge. | 06:22 |
| walt | Problem is you need to know the exact name of the repo | 06:22 |
| xubuntu27d | dta@dta-NV59C:~/Desktop$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:THE_PPA Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~THE_PPA/ubuntu/ppa'. ERROR: '~THE_PPA' user or team does not exist. dta@dta-NV59C:~/Desktop$ | 06:29 |
| xubuntu27d | did i do something incorrectly? | 06:29 |
| walt | yes | 06:29 |
| walt | computers are perfect we are not. | 06:30 |
| walt | did you first install the program ppa-purge | 06:30 |
| walt | sudo apt-get install ppa-purge | 06:30 |
| xubuntu27d | ok that worked to install the ppa-purge that time but same error message regardless of it being installed now | 06:34 |
| walt | like I said. You need the exact name of the repo. The problem is in the command | 06:35 |
| walt | try this | 06:36 |
| walt | sudo ppa-purge radio-battletoads | 06:36 |
| walt | only that | 06:36 |
| xubuntu27d | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XCKDcxxXsK/ is the list of them i think? | 06:36 |
| walt | what version of xubuntu are you on? | 06:38 |
| xubuntu27d | dta@dta-NV59C:~/Desktop$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:THE_PPA Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~THE_PPA/ubuntu/ppa'.

| walt | That ppa is quite old. My guess is it won't hurt to just delete it from the sources | 06:41 |
| walt | did you try the command I sent? | 06:41 |
| walt | sudo ppa-purge radio-battletoads | 06:41 |
| xubuntu27d | yes | 06:42 |
| walt | ok. then I would try and just remove the offending entry or entries from the sources.list directory. | 06:43 |
| xubuntu27d | ok how do i find that? | 06:44 |
| walt | open a terminal. | 06:45 |
| walt | cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 06:45 |
| walt | then the command ls | 06:45 |
| walt | that will list the contents. | 06:45 |
| walt | You will have two of them that are related to battletoads | 06:45 |
| walt | delete both of them. | 06:45 |
| walt | I am new to xubuntu. | 06:46 |
| walt | But old to *buntu | 06:46 |
| xubuntu27d | ys-ubuntu-radio-battletoads-xenial.list ys-ubuntu-radio-battletoads-xenial.list.save dta@dta-NV59C:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ | 06:47 |
| xubuntu27d | i see those two | 06:48 |
| walt | well done. Now remove them or safer rename them or move them. | 06:49 |
| walt | to move them you can sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/name_of_file /etc/name_of_file.old | 06:51 |
| walt | that will move them to a harmless location in case you need battetoads again. I sure hope not :) | 06:51 |
| xubuntu27d | do i type in the same open terminal ... sudo ppa-purge ys-ubuntu-radio-battletoads | 06:52 |
| xubuntu27d | i wont ever need them again | 06:52 |
| walt | YOu can try that. | 06:53 |
| xubuntu27d | never needed them idk how they got on my system at all... | 06:53 |
| walt | If you don't need them then I would sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/name_of_file | 06:53 |
| walt | do it for both of them. | 06:53 |
| walt | Then | 06:53 |
| walt | sudo apt-get update | 06:53 |
| walt | and sudo apt-get upgrade. | 06:54 |
| xubuntu27d | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/J2Hjczm4CB/ | 07:01 |
| xubuntu27d | fresh pastebin showing full process so far in terminal... | 07:02 |
| walt | read it. | 07:03 |
| walt | you can't use && like that. | 07:03 |
| walt | && requires the full command each time. | 07:03 |
| walt | have you removed the two offenders in the sources.list directory? | 07:03 |
| walt | I don't think ppa-purge will work. It doesn't on all ppas | 07:04 |
| xubuntu27d | this battletoads thing seems to be some sort of "Trolling" i see on Pawn Stars that they have had annoying phonecalls constantly with this battletoads thing | 07:06 |
| walt | yes. | 07:06 |
| walt | have you deleted the two files? | 07:07 |
| xubuntu27d | it wont let me... | 07:07 |
| walt | WHAT? | 07:07 |
| walt | what's the error | 07:07 |

| walt | NO not that. | 07:10 |
| walt | manually remove the files as I mentioned earlier. | 07:10 |
| walt | first cd to the location. Then ls to get the names. Then sudo rm /path/name to delete the two related to the toads | 07:11 |
| xubuntu27d | dta@dta-NV59C:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cd dta@dta-NV59C:~$ ls | 07:18 |

| walt | No you are not understanding. Or I am not explaining well. | 07:19 |
| walt | Do not use ppa-purge anymore. You need to find the files. | 07:19 |
| walt | from the terminal do this. | 07:19 |
| walt | cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 07:20 |
| walt | Then type | 07:20 |
| walt | ls | 07:20 |
| walt | It will list all your ppa files. | 07:20 |
| walt | Two of them need removes | 07:20 |
| walt | Once you get that far let me know. | 07:20 |
| walt | Then the next step. | 07:20 |

| walt | type a bit of the file name and hit the tab button to autocomplete. | 07:24 |
| walt | YOu need to remove the *.list and *.save files that are battletoads | 07:24 |
| walt | I have 20 minutes and then off to home. | 07:26 |
| walt | hope you can solve this. Its not hurting your system just annoying | 07:27 |

| walt | then you have the name or path wrong | 07:30 |
| walt | sorry pal. Works on my system. | 07:33 |
| xubuntu27d | thx4 trying | 07:33 |
| walt | You can also remove the ppa from your package manager | 07:33 |
| walt | The GUI method. Not sure in xubuntu | 07:34 |
| walt | I am sure the method I described will work. Just a small error somewhere | 07:35 |

| blingrang | Hi, I recently upgraded to 16.04 from 14.04. Prior to this the login screen would use my (random) wallpaper as the background display. Now it's just using one of the fixed ubuntu ones. | 11:06 |
| blingrang | Any way to go have the random wallpaper behaviour? | 11:08 |
| blingrang | Also note, on 14.04, I hadn't done anything custom. | 11:09 |
| patrick_ | I'm trying to setup Google Drive for Xubuntu (latest updates installed) per https://tutorialforlinux.com/2016/07/02/google-drive-client-quickstart-for-xubuntu-16-04-xenial-lts/ but when I try Step 3 I get ** (gnome-control-center:3797): WARNING **: 07:02:43.042: Could not find settings panel "online-accounts" | 11:09 |
| patrick_ | Could it be because the tutorial was for 16.04 and I'm running 18.04? | 11:12 |
| Unit193 | blingrang: xfdesktop4 still communicates via accountsservice to lightdm as long as it can read, you can see if it's set in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$USER | 11:12 |
| blingrang | Unit193, forgive me, but not sure what exactly I should be looking at https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/m2D4BMMTt5/. Should I set SystemAccount=true? | 11:16 |
| Unit193 | Nope, that wallpaper as stated in 'Background' should be seen as the wallpaper for lightdm. | 11:17 |
| Unit193 | Presuming you use lightdm-gtk-greeter. | 11:17 |
| blingrang | yep | 11:17 |
| Unit193 | And permissions I presume are fine as well. Just to confirm, /etc/X11/default-display-manager has the path to lightdm, and lightdm --show-config shows nothing odd? | 11:19 |
| Unit193 | Presuming those are all fine, it *should* work. | 11:19 |
| blingrang | Unit193, no, they seem fine. I just noticed, though, the login initially shows my wallpaper before reverting to the default ubuntu one. It flashed. | 11:25 |
| Unit193 | I thought the user enabled one overrides the one set in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf, but perhaps not. | 11:26 |
| blingrang | don't know if it matters but the problem started after I changed the lightdm greeter window position. | 11:28 |
| blingrang | Also, the greeter conf you mentioned has "user-background = false". Will that help? | 11:29 |
| blingrang | Setting it to true I mean. | 11:30 |
| Unit193 | 'true' is default. | 11:30 |
| blingrang | hmmm, ok let me change | 11:30 |
| blingrang | No luck. | 11:33 |
| Unit193 | Given that accountsservice is aware of the set background, it's not likely xfdesktop or whatnot issue. Otherwise I'd suspect an unpatched xfdesktop (from a PPA or whatnot.) | 11:38 |
| blingrang | Unit193, Hmmm, ok. Thanks for the help. | 12:12 |
| pmjdebru1jn | anybody a clue why light-locker doesn't transition smoothly to and from the lock screen? | 12:46 |

| samwan | Hello, I just installed Xubuntu 18.04 coming from Debian and it works nice so far. I just have a question, I encountered a nasty installer bug but I managed to get around it by just retrying. if I select to encrypt my entire disk, grub-install failed several times randomly until it eventually worked at the third or fourth try. Is there something known about it or can I file a bug? | 19:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | !bug | 19:53 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 19:53 |
| sm0rux | I use a clean install of 18.04 on a Asus VivoBook. When I eject a USB stick in Thunar 1.6.15 I get a message about data being written to the stick and after several minutes I get an error message. Is this a known bug? Any solution? | 20:25 |
| flocculant | I think there is a bug | 20:26 |
| flocculant | mmm - different issue seemingly | 20:26 |
| ondondil | I had the same problem and send automatic report via whoopsie when thunar segfaulted 30 minutes after ejecting the drive | 20:27 |
| flocculant | not even sure when this showed up - it wasn't in 18.04 a while back | 20:27 |
| sm0rux | I've tried several USB sticks, all giving the same problem | 20:28 |
| flocculant | sm0rux: yea - I'm not convinced it's actually thunar | 20:28 |
| flocculant | sm0rux: could you install pcmanfm and see if you can replicate it there for us? | 20:29 |
| sm0rux | flocculant: installing right now :) | 20:30 |
| flocculant | thanks | 20:31 |
| flocculant | I could replicate what I was seeing there | 20:31 |
| flocculant | currently I've got the gtk3 thunar from xfce master - that does as expected | 20:32 |
| sm0rux | flocculant: No problem in pcmanfm as far as I can see | 20:33 |
| flocculant | bah | 20:33 |
| flocculant | ok :) | 20:33 |
| sm0rux | Sorry :) | 20:33 |
| flocculant | no problem - thanks for looking | 20:33 |
| sm0rux | Just installed from the repository: PCManFM 1.2.5 using LibFM ver. 1.2.5 | 20:34 |
| flocculant | sm0rux: do you have a bugzilla account? | 20:34 |
| flocculant | you could report it there | 20:35 |
| sm0rux | I think I have. That isn't the same as Launchpad? | 20:35 |
| flocculant | nope | 20:35 |
| sm0rux | Reporting is the least I can do - can't hack the source :) bugzilla.org? | 20:36 |
| ondondil | flocculant, I'm having the same issue as sm0rux and pcmanfm works fine here too | 20:36 |
| flocculant | ok - it might be bug 1762595 | 20:37 |
| ubottu | bug 1762595 in thunar (Ubuntu) "Thunar incorrectly thinks USB storage device hasn't finished ejecting" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1762595 | 20:37 |
| flocculant | I'm waiting for one of our team to come back so I can hassle him about these thunar things | 20:38 |
| flocculant | sm0rux ondondil - does gio mount -e /path/to/usb work? | 20:40 |
| flocculant | will read reply at silly o'clock tomorrow - off now | 20:41 |
| sm0rux | flocculant: As far as I understand I experience exactly the issue in Launchpad bug 1762595 | 20:42 |

| bluesabre | Spass: I think svg previews used to work, so might be a big in thumbnail generation | 21:12 |
| krytarik | Buuug! | 21:12 |
| * Javabean wonders just how much raid is gone through in this room alone | 21:18 | |
| Spass | bluesabre, ok I tested it again and I think it doesn't show previews when I'm searching only in "root" folders e.g. /usr/share/icons/ | 21:20 |
| Spass | so it probably works as intended | 21:20 |
| Spass | err, or not, there's something wrong with that SVG previews still | 21:23 |
| Spass | easy way to check that is to search something in /usr/share/icons/Humanity for example | 21:28 |
