[02:31] hi, I lubuntu 16 lts, what is the propper way to upgrade to 18 lts? [02:31] Wait until 18.04.1 is released. ;) [02:31] why? 18.04 is not good to upgrade to? [02:32] It is, but that's when upgrades are enabled. [02:32] It allows us to work out any issues before releasing to LTS users. [02:32] I see [02:33] Anyway, we'll announce it on Lubuntu.me when it's available. [02:33] is that the only option? if I really wanted to upgrae to 18.04 there is no way? [02:34] You *can* if you want to. [02:34] sudo do-release-upgrade -d in the terminal. [02:35] any risks doing so? [02:35] Not known at the moment, but if you do find anything, please do let us know. [02:35] laright, I'll see what to do [02:35] thanks a lot for the info [02:35] No problem. :) [02:35] :) [03:36] (New chat photo, 640x640) https://i.imgur.com/Aak7z3L.jpg [04:25] hi [04:26] hi [04:39] bluetooth in linux sucks right [04:39] no [04:39] bluetooth sucks [04:39] period [04:40] LOL [04:40] #truth [04:40] i am not even joking [04:41] just like how all printers can be annoying [04:41] good point, lynorian, but i'm pretty sure printers are worse [04:42] Graphics cards top it all off. [04:43] I like bluetooth. [04:43] I use bluetooth almost in everything. [04:43] Phone, car, heasets, bike helmet, keyboard, mouse, speakers. [04:43] But I can't make it work correctly in lubuntu [04:49] 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] wxl: yeah can't connect my headsets [05:04] 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] howdy! [10:43] 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] s/bood/boot/ [11:14] found a direction to hunt in, have a nice day :) [12:53] Can i tweak lubuntu a little bit more after installing it on a laptop? [12:57] Anybody here? [14:13] hi guys, sorry if an stupid question. Where I can get Lubuntu-Next ISO? [14:15] @Drone can you help? [14:17] anyone? [14:37] I have a problem with he install of lubuntu [14:38] I displayed on screen: not READ DMA [14:39] Or something like that [14:39] I have try with 2 versions of lubuntu and 3 firmware === Kamilion|ZNC is now known as Kamilion [19:26] hi [19:27] hey [19:29] was too slow wxl xD [19:29] * wxl shrugs === TheMaster is now known as Unit193 [20:29] Hello! [20:29] why do i have to type in my password every time i reboot lxde? [21:04] Can someone please help me? When i reboot it is supposed to boot into my desktop, not ask me for my password. [21:06] cimbakahn: what version? [21:07] 18.04 [21:07] * pavlushka guesses some misunderstaing [21:09] cimbakahn: do you need to provide password on login after starting the system? [21:10] * pavlushka talking about first boot not reboot [21:11] you can go to the users and groups app and change it there [21:12] 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] ^^^ [21:12] I will look there. [21:13] wxl: shouldn't that be normal unless the user set to autologin? [21:13] pavlushka: default is requiring a password [21:14] wxl: yes and that default will also require the user to put password on every reboot, if I am not wrong. [21:15] that's correct [21:15] but if you make that one change, it will fix it [21:15] cimbakahn: ^^ [21:15] however, one can set the autologin feature within the installer [21:16] I am there. What now? https://imgur.com/a/dMkmzlt [21:19] @cimbakahn: click "change" next to "asked on login" [21:19] I sent the screenshot. What do i do? [21:20] Ok. [21:22] Ok. I will reboot to see if it works. BRB. [21:24] Well. That is still not what i expected, but it's better. [21:25] what are you expecting? [21:26] 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] Well. Usually i don't see a login screen at all because it just goes directly to the desktop. [21:27] ok we have to poke lightdm [21:29] Do you mean this ----> https://imgur.com/a/6u7OgD0 [21:32] no, that won't do the trick [21:33] Ok. What then? [21:33] create a file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/12-autologin.conf [21:33] it should have this content: [21:33] [Seat:*] [21:33] autologin-user=your-login-name [21:38] 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] i did say "create," yes :) [21:43] Like this ----> https://imgur.com/a/xLodnhx [21:45] Oh! I had to remove the , correct? [21:46] hi there, total linux noobie here, need help installing a MIDI based driver for my musical keyboard. https://github.com/hansfbaier/ultranova4linux [21:46] I did the "rules" section already. Does anyone know what i have to do with the .cpp files? or the make folder? [21:47] cimbakahn: yeah i'm pretty sure that lightdm isn't programmed to expect my nick in there [21:48] HA!HA!HA!HA! [21:49] 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] oh and this requires JACK too [21:49] I see [21:49] yeah to be honest [21:49] this is advanced stuff. can walk you through it, but it's not easy. [21:49] I'm a good super user [21:49] but this kind of thing is beyond me a little bit [21:50] I've written a couple of Python webscrapers [21:50] but I'm not sure what to do with drivers for stuff like this [21:50] typically with compilation, this will do the trick: [21:50] ./configure [21:50] make [21:50] make install [21:50] *typically* [21:50] the only reason I resort to this is because there are only Windows and mac based drivers available for this keyboard [21:50] hmm gotcha [21:50] so change directory to that folder right [21:50] and type "./configure" [21:50] then "make install" [21:50] all in terminal right? [21:51] yep [21:51] none of this is going to work if you dont' have jack installed and that's a whole different ball of wax [21:51] ideally for that, you have a real time kernel installed, too [21:51] I have jack installed thankfully [21:51] I think it came with LMSS [21:52] i know lmss is jack capable but i didn't think it was jack-only [21:52] even still you probably don't have it running, so you'll have to figure that part out too [21:52] the command line is not very friendly :) [21:53] Ok. I'll try it again. BRB. [21:53] gotcha man, thanks for the details [21:53] I'll try those two commands [21:53] appreciate it much my dude [21:53] np. good luck [21:53] oh [21:53] a word of warning: if there's other dependencies, you'll have to figure that out along the way :( [21:54] yeah I saw [21:54] it did ask for jack [21:54] oh and qjackctl should help you [21:54] as you predicted [21:54] jack and liblo are missing [21:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/What%20is%20JACK [21:54] so maybe i'll try apt install [21:54] yes, that, in general [21:54] but you'll need the -dev packages since what it needs are libraries to use for compilation rather than the binaries themselves [21:55] and THAT is the part of compilation that really sucks :) [21:55] oh aarons [21:55] I saw that sorry though it was spam [21:55] do that again, never pm'd on Hexchat [21:55] gotcha [21:56] Ok. Looks like it works now. Thank you very much wxl!
