[02:31] <cmma> hi, I lubuntu 16 lts, what is the propper way to upgrade to 18 lts?
[02:31] <tsimonq2> Wait until 18.04.1 is released. ;)
[02:31] <cmma> why? 18.04 is not good to upgrade to?
[02:32] <tsimonq2> It is, but that's when upgrades are enabled.
[02:32] <tsimonq2> It allows us to work out any issues before releasing to LTS users.
[02:32] <cmma> I see
[02:33] <tsimonq2> Anyway, we'll announce it on Lubuntu.me when it's available.
[02:33] <cmma> is that the only option? if I really wanted to upgrae to 18.04 there is no way?
[02:34] <tsimonq2> You *can* if you want to.
[02:34] <tsimonq2> sudo do-release-upgrade -d in the terminal.
[02:35] <cmma> any risks doing so?
[02:35] <tsimonq2> Not known at the moment, but if you do find anything, please do let us know.
[02:35] <cmma> laright, I'll see what to do
[02:35] <cmma> thanks a lot for the info
[02:35] <tsimonq2> No problem. :)
[02:35] <cmma> :)

[04:25] <n-iCe> hi
[04:26] <tsimonq2> hi
[04:39] <n-iCe> bluetooth in linux sucks right
[04:39] <wxl> no
[04:39] <wxl> bluetooth sucks
[04:39] <wxl> period
[04:40] <tsimonq2> LOL
[04:40] <tsimonq2> #truth
[04:40] <wxl> i am not even joking
[04:41] <lynorian> just like how all printers can be annoying
[04:41] <wxl> good point, lynorian, but i'm pretty sure printers are worse
[04:42] <tsimonq2> Graphics cards top it all off.
[04:43] <n-iCe> I like bluetooth.
[04:43] <n-iCe> I use bluetooth almost in everything.
[04:43] <n-iCe> Phone, car, heasets, bike helmet, keyboard, mouse, speakers.
[04:43] <n-iCe> But I can't make it work correctly in lubuntu
[04:49] <wxl> n-iCe: all my bluetooth devices work fine and have. although sometimes audio can be particularly annoying.
[04:52]  * lynorian has nothing bluetooth
[05:03] <n-iCe> wxl: yeah can't connect my headsets
[05:04] <wxl> n-iCe: sometimes the issue is the sound server. forgetting bluetooth devices, restarting the sound server, and re-pairing usually does the trick
[10:40] <deskwizard> howdy!
[10:43] <deskwizard> quick question this morning... when I run -> "sudo grub-install --bood-directory=/mnt/ubuntu/boot /dev/sda" (for example...) from a liveCD, it won't take into consideration modifications I make to /etc/default/grub (of the mounted install), correct?
[10:46] <deskwizard> s/bood/boot/
[11:14] <deskwizard> found a direction to hunt in, have a nice day :)
[12:53] <igor_> Can i tweak lubuntu a little bit more after installing it on a laptop?
[12:57] <igor_> Anybody here?
[14:13] <DanielMota> hi guys, sorry if an stupid question. Where I can get Lubuntu-Next ISO?
[14:15] <DanielMota> @Drone can you help?
[14:17] <DanielMota> anyone?
[14:37] <Soalex> I have a problem with he install of lubuntu
[14:38] <Soalex> I displayed on screen: not READ DMA
[14:39] <Soalex> Or something like that
[14:39] <Soalex> I have try with 2 versions of lubuntu and 3 firmware
[19:26] <isearch> hi
[19:27] <wxl> hey
[19:29] <ChunkzZ> was too slow wxl xD
[19:29]  * wxl shrugs
[20:29] <cimbakahn> Hello!
[20:29] <cimbakahn> why do i have to type in my password every time i reboot lxde?
[21:04] <cimbakahn> Can someone please help me?  When i reboot it is supposed to boot into my desktop, not ask me for my password.
[21:06] <wxl> cimbakahn: what version?
[21:07] <cimbakahn> 18.04
[21:07]  * pavlushka guesses some misunderstaing
[21:09] <pavlushka> cimbakahn: do you need to provide password on login after starting the system?
[21:10]  * pavlushka talking about first boot not reboot
[21:11] <wxl> you can go to the users and groups app and change it there
[21:12] <cimbakahn> I reboot, and before i get to the desktop, there is a login box expecting me to put something in it.  I type in my password, and i go to desktop.
[21:12] <wxl> ^^^
[21:12] <cimbakahn> I will look there.
[21:13] <pavlushka> wxl: shouldn't that be normal unless the user set to autologin?
[21:13] <wxl> pavlushka: default is requiring a password
[21:14] <pavlushka> wxl: yes and that default will also require the user to put password on every reboot, if I am not wrong.
[21:15] <wxl> that's correct
[21:15] <wxl> but if you make that one change, it will fix it
[21:15] <pavlushka> cimbakahn: ^^
[21:15] <wxl> however, one can set the autologin feature within the installer
[21:16] <cimbakahn> I am there.  What now?  https://imgur.com/a/dMkmzlt
[21:19] <wxl> @cimbakahn: click "change" next to "asked on login"
[21:19] <cimbakahn> I sent the screenshot.  What do i do?
[21:20] <cimbakahn> Ok.
[21:22] <cimbakahn> Ok.  I will reboot to see if it works.  BRB.
[21:24] <cimbakahn> Well.  That is still not what i expected, but it's better.
[21:25] <wxl> what are you expecting?
[21:26] <cimbakahn> There is a box with my name in it, and a button that reads 'login'.  I click that button, and shortly i'm at the desktop.
[21:27] <cimbakahn> Well.  Usually i don't see a login screen at all because it just goes directly to the desktop.
[21:27] <wxl> ok we have to poke lightdm
[21:29] <cimbakahn> Do you mean this ----> https://imgur.com/a/6u7OgD0
[21:32] <wxl> no, that won't do the trick
[21:33] <cimbakahn> Ok.  What then?
[21:33] <wxl> create a file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/12-autologin.conf
[21:33] <wxl> it should have this content:
[21:33] <wxl> [Seat:*]
[21:33] <wxl> autologin-user=your-login-name
[21:38] <cimbakahn> Ok.  I found that folder, but there is nothing in it, so i guess i have to use leafpad to create a file inside it named '12-autologin.conf' , correct?
[21:39] <wxl> i did say "create," yes :)
[21:43] <cimbakahn> Like this ----> https://imgur.com/a/xLodnhx
[21:45] <cimbakahn> Oh!  I had to remove the <wxl> , correct?
[21:46] <Wafficus91> hi there, total linux noobie here, need help installing a MIDI based driver for my musical keyboard. https://github.com/hansfbaier/ultranova4linux
[21:46] <Wafficus91> I did the "rules" section already. Does anyone know what i have to do with the .cpp files? or the make folder?
[21:47] <wxl> cimbakahn: yeah i'm pretty sure that lightdm isn't programmed to expect my nick in there
[21:48] <cimbakahn> HA!HA!HA!HA!
[21:49] <wxl> Wafficus91: unfortunately you've just reached an area of difficulty. unless compiling your software yourself sounds like fun, you should try to find resources that exist within the ubuntu repositories
[21:49] <wxl> oh and this requires JACK too
[21:49] <Wafficus91> I see
[21:49] <Wafficus91> yeah to be honest
[21:49] <wxl> this is advanced stuff. can walk you through it, but it's not easy.
[21:49] <Wafficus91> I'm a good super user
[21:49] <Wafficus91> but this kind of thing is beyond me a little bit
[21:50] <Wafficus91> I've written a couple of Python webscrapers
[21:50] <Wafficus91> but I'm not sure what to do with drivers for stuff like this
[21:50] <wxl> typically with compilation, this will do the trick:
[21:50] <wxl> ./configure
[21:50] <wxl> make
[21:50] <wxl> make install
[21:50] <wxl> *typically*
[21:50] <Wafficus91> the only reason I resort to this is because there are only Windows and mac based drivers available for this keyboard
[21:50] <Wafficus91> hmm gotcha
[21:50] <Wafficus91> so change directory to that folder right
[21:50] <Wafficus91> and type "./configure"
[21:50] <Wafficus91> then "make install"
[21:50] <Wafficus91> all in terminal right?
[21:51] <wxl> yep
[21:51] <wxl> none of this is going to work if you dont' have jack installed and that's a whole different ball of wax
[21:51] <wxl> ideally for that, you have a real time kernel installed, too
[21:51] <Wafficus91> I have jack installed thankfully
[21:51] <Wafficus91> I think it came with LMSS
[21:52] <wxl> i know lmss is jack capable but i didn't think it was jack-only
[21:52] <wxl> even still you probably don't have it running, so you'll have to figure that part out too
[21:52] <wxl> the command line is not very friendly :)
[21:53] <cimbakahn> Ok.  I'll try it again.  BRB.
[21:53] <Wafficus91> gotcha man, thanks for the details
[21:53] <Wafficus91> I'll try those two commands
[21:53] <Wafficus91> appreciate it much my dude
[21:53] <wxl> np. good luck
[21:53] <wxl> oh
[21:53] <wxl> a word of warning: if there's other dependencies, you'll have to figure that out along the way :(
[21:54] <Wafficus91> yeah I saw
[21:54] <Wafficus91> it did ask for jack
[21:54] <wxl> oh and qjackctl should help you
[21:54] <Wafficus91> as you predicted
[21:54] <Wafficus91> jack and liblo are missing
[21:54] <wxl> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/What%20is%20JACK
[21:54] <Wafficus91> so maybe i'll try apt install
[21:54] <wxl> yes, that, in general
[21:54] <wxl> but you'll need the -dev packages since what it needs are libraries to use for compilation rather than the binaries themselves
[21:55] <wxl> and THAT is the part of compilation that really sucks :)
[21:55] <Wafficus91> oh aarons
[21:55] <Wafficus91> I saw that sorry though it was spam
[21:55] <Wafficus91> do that again, never pm'd on Hexchat
[21:55] <Wafficus91> gotcha
[21:56] <cimbakahn> Ok.  Looks like it works now.  Thank you very much wxl!
