[05:15] <cameronnemo> hello world
[05:24] <tsimonq2> hi cameronnemo
[05:25] <cameronnemo> I am here to try and resolve someon
[05:25] <cameronnemo> e's issues with lubuntu
[05:25] <tsimonq2> Awesome :)
[05:25] <tsimonq2> Just stick around and someone will come by.
[05:26] <cameronnemo> It is someone I found on reddit. Seems his lightdm isn't starting up. Any idea what might cause that?
[05:26] <tsimonq2> They'd need to provide logs, which should point towards the issue.
[05:28] <cameronnemo> Should they simply take pictures or use some command line utility to upload the logs somewhere?
 @cameronnemo, pastebinit ideally.
 It's installed by default in 18.04.
[05:38] <cameronnemo> I'm going to point him to this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pastebinit
[05:38] <cameronnemo> thank you for your help
[13:39] <mand0rla> Hi there. I have lubuntu 18.04 and I'm trying to install Microsoft Office 2010 with playonlinux...I can't make it work. An ELA window (almost totally blank, so I can't agree to terms) pops up and I wait and wait for the installation to finish, with no result. Any ideas??
[13:39] <mand0rla> Any help appreciated ;)
[13:41] <genii> Use the tab key to switch fields in the EULA until the OK or Accept is hightlighted, hit Enter
[13:42] <mand0rla> Thanks genii. I tried but no result. Theer are no fields, it's blank except for a pic that looks like a contract (that's why I think its the EULA form
[13:42] <mand0rla> Maybe I need to install some extra stuff? ;.O
[13:43] <mand0rla> I prefer Libreoffice but I need Micrsoft for a job...
[13:44] <genii> mand0rla: This is not really a Lubuntu support issue, more of something for the PlayonLinux people to help with. You should try asking in their channel at #playonlinux ... you can also check the WINE appdb for your version of Office to see compatibility
[13:44] <genii> !appdb
[13:45] <genii> .. so #playonlinux or #winehq will likely have more specific help than could be had here for your issue
[13:46] <mand0rla> thanks genii. I asked in that channel as well (still waiting).
[13:47] <genii> Yes, sometimes it may take a while
[13:49] <mand0rla> ok thanks! see ya
[17:35] <CalicoFlows> When I try opening the task manager I get this error https://i.imgur.com/ZP3NKuX.png
[17:36] <CalicoFlows> And then the actual window loads and it's blank https://i.imgur.com/igvFIBj.png
[17:36] <CalicoFlows> How can I fix it, please
[17:37] <tsimonq2> CalicoFlows: Try #kubuntu
[17:37] <CalicoFlows> I am a bit worried that this sort of thing happens. Overall the performance of my system has been getting worse ;/
[17:40] <CalicoFlows> Oh lord, I am in Lubuntu hahah, sorry
[20:11] <cameronnemo> recommended way to create a bootable usb?
[20:12] <krytarik> dd! :P
[20:12] <cameronnemo> from windows
 @cameronnemo, Rufus
[20:14] <genii> !windd
[20:14] <genii> Hm
[20:15] <Ricey> Hey all, I was wondering if anyone could possibly help? I tried installing Lubuntu and for some reason it didn't work exactly and now it's only a terminal and no GUI, I've tried a few commands such as: sudo systemctl status lightdm sudo systemctl enable lightdm sudo systemctl start lightdm and --fix-broken things but no luck
[20:16] <Ricey> I also tried remounting the iso with Rufus and booting via USB and it wont boot via bios it just looks like it refreshes on the bios screen
[20:17] <cameronnemo> more about the --fix-broken comment: he ran into an "unmet dependencies"  error when trying to install the lubuntu-desktop package
[20:23] <cameronnemo> Ricey, maybe you can try `sudo dpkg --configure -a`
[20:23] <cameronnemo> https://askubuntu.com/questions/263378/how-to-fix-dependencies-broken-packages#263390
[20:24] <Ricey> I'll try that, one second :)
[20:25] <Ricey> I did the command and it just went to the next line
[20:27] <cameronnemo> Yes that is okay. Now try `sudo apt install -f lubuntu-desktop` again.
[20:27] <Ricey> Sure, sec
[20:28] <Ricey> I'll send an image as there's too much text
[20:30] <Ricey> https://i.imgur.com/5fiYNGQ.jpg
[20:31] <cameronnemo> https://askubuntu.com/questions/223237/unable-to-correct-problems-you-have-held-broken-packages#223267
[20:31] <cameronnemo> does `sudo apt autoremove` do anything?
[20:33] <Ricey> Sudo apt autoremove does: Reading package lists... Done, Building dependency tree, Reading state information... Done, 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade
[20:34] <cameronnemo> Can you try `sudo apt install -f usb-creator-gtk`
[20:35] <Ricey> https://i.imgur.com/MjkR4oV.jpg
[20:35] <Ricey> Here ^^
[20:36] <cameronnemo> Can you try to install the dependency mentioned?
[20:36] <cameronnemo> `sudo apt install -f gir1.2-unity-5.0`
[20:36] <Ricey> Alright, one second
[20:38] <Ricey> Also, sorry for uploading images it's just a heck of a lot faster looking at my laptop then typing it all out and proof checking it on another computer
[20:38] <Ricey> https://i.imgur.com/xGeFjal.jpg
[20:40] <cameronnemo> `apt-cache policy libunity9`?
[20:40] <cameronnemo> you can use the pastebinit tool
[20:40] <Ricey> I can't use the pastebinit tool it didn't seem to work when I tried
[20:40] <cameronnemo> uf
[20:41] <cameronnemo> did you try with a different site using the `-b` option? `apt-cache policy libunity9 | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com`
[20:42] <Ricey> https://i.imgur.com/9IfEAaa.jpg
[20:42] <Ricey> I'll try that now
[20:43] <Ricey> Uhh
[20:43] <Ricey> How do I do that line
[20:43] <Ricey> Between libunity9 and pastebinit
[20:45] <cameronnemo> the pipe character
[20:45] <cameronnemo> |
[20:45] <Ricey> Ya that
[20:45] <Ricey> I don't know how :x
[20:45] <krytarik> !repos | Ricey: I suggest you enable some
[20:46] <Ricey> Krytarik I don't understand anything about linux but I'll try in a second
[20:47] <cameronnemo> https://pastebin.com/AzbVDStR
[20:47] <cameronnemo> download that file and move it to /etc/apt/sources.list
[20:47] <Ricey> I did the pastebin thing Cameronnemo and it just said pastebinit: command not found
[20:47] <cameronnemo> that's okay
[20:47] <cameronnemo> the policy command picture helped a lot
[20:48] <cameronnemo> do you have wget or curl installed? try the commands `which curl` and `which wget` to tell.
[20:49] <Ricey> Nothing happened, just went to the next line
[20:49] <Ricey> For both
[20:52] <cameronnemo> okay, then just edit the file manually to add the following lines
[20:52] <cameronnemo> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted
[20:52] <Ricey> uhh
[20:52] <cameronnemo> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted
[20:52] <Ricey> So I just type these in like that?
[20:52] <cameronnemo> you need to use an editor like `nano`
[20:53] <cameronnemo> or you can use `echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted" >> /etc/apt/sources.list`
[20:53] <cameronnemo> `echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted" >> /etc/apt/sources.list`
[20:53] <cameronnemo> with sudo!!
[20:53] <Ricey> None of this is making any sense to me, I'm sorry. I don't understand how I'm supposed to edit if I can't even use my laptop right now only a terminal and I don't even understand 99% of what we're doing :')
[20:54] <Ricey> So sudo echo deb http:// etc
[20:54] <Ricey> Or? I'm really sorry
[20:54] <cameronnemo> sorry I understand
[20:54] <cameronnemo> yes
[20:55] <cameronnemo> is the computer connected to a network? like with an ethernet cable?
[20:55] <Ricey> Wireless
[20:56] <cameronnemo> okay it may be easier to use ethernet while we are still at the terminal, but can you tell me if `which nmcli` returns anything?
[20:57] <Ricey> I don't have a spare ethernet, only one is in my pc right now
[20:58] <Ricey> https://i.imgur.com/vfmhw6F.jpg
[20:59] <cameronnemo> make sure to put "echo" before deb and a "/" before "etc/apt/sources.list"
[21:00] <cameronnemo> in fact wrap the bit from deb to restricted in quotes
[21:00] <Ricey> Permission denied
[21:01] <krytarik> Ricey: So it would seem that 1.) you might have the default repos enabled, but 2.) you never got to update your package database from them yet because 3.) you don't actually have any internet connectivity right now?
[21:02] <Ricey> I really don't know, I'm sorry I cant answer better krytarik
[21:03] <krytarik> Please try: "ping -c 5 8.8.8.8"
[21:04] <Ricey> https://i.imgur.com/VxjFSdG.jpg
[21:05] <krytarik> Now just: "sudo apt update"
[21:05] <cameronnemo> ricey, notice how you got an error with the echo commands? "permission denied"
[21:05] <cameronnemo> you need to use sudo to elevate priveleges, so put sudo before the echo command
[21:05] <Ricey> I do notice that yeah and I just did that krytarik
[21:05] <cameronnemo> then run `sudo apt update`
[21:06] <cameronnemo> And can you show us what happens after the `sudo apt update` command?
[21:07] <Ricey> https://i.imgur.com/M7fSiB4.jpg
[21:07] <Ricey> Sorry for the quality on this one
[21:08] <Ricey> It was a lot of text to fit
[21:09] <cameronnemo> my bad, the echo command failed again
[21:09] <Ricey> No worries
[21:09] <cameronnemo> can you try the following
[21:11] <cameronnemo> sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted' >>/etc/apt/sources.list"
[21:11] <cameronnemo> careful with the quotes on that one
[21:11] <cameronnemo> sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted' >>/etc/apt/sources.list"
[21:12] <cameronnemo> that one too
[21:12] <cameronnemo> then run `sudo apt update; sudo apt dist-upgrade; sudo apt install -f lubuntu-desktop`
[21:15] <Ricey> All seemed to work except the last, the last one said
[21:15] <Ricey> -bash: sudo apt update: sudo apt dist-upgrade; sudo apt install -f lubuntu-desktop: command not found
[21:16] <cameronnemo> okay then just start with
[21:16] <cameronnemo> sudo apt update
[21:16] <cameronnemo> and then continue with:
[21:16] <cameronnemo> sudo apt dist-upgrade
[21:18] <Ricey> Progress 50%
[21:19] <cameronnemo> gotcha
[21:19] <cameronnemo> this is good haha!
[21:19] <Ricey> Yeah? Great!
[21:21] <Ricey> Alright all done
[21:21] <cameronnemo> with both?
[21:21] <cameronnemo> then run this
[21:21] <Ricey> Yeah
[21:21] <cameronnemo> sudo apt install -f lubuntu-desktop
[21:21] <cameronnemo> also hopefully neither of them had any errors?
[21:22] <Ricey> Not yet at least
[21:22] <Ricey> Running install deskto
[21:22] <Ricey> Wait
[21:22] <Ricey> It saiys uh
[21:22] <Ricey> Media change please insert the disc labeled
[21:23] <Ricey> lubuntu 18.04 LTS _bionic beaver_ - Release amd64 20180426 in the drive /media/cdrom/ and press enter
[21:24] <cameronnemo> https://askubuntu.com/questions/386265/media-change-please-insert-the-disc-labeled-when-trying-to-install-ruby-on-ra#386268
[21:24] <cameronnemo> run
[21:24] <cameronnemo> sudo sed -i '/cdrom/d' /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:25] <cameronnemo> then you will need to run
[21:25] <Ricey> Running
[21:25] <cameronnemo> sudo apt update
[21:25] <cameronnemo> before trying the lubuntu desktop command again
[21:26] <Ricey> Will when it's done, it's on 25%
[21:29] <Ricey> I did that and looked away and now back and it's uh failed to fetch a lot of things
[21:30] <Ricey> It says maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing
[21:30] <cameronnemo> didn't you just run apt update though? hmm
[21:30] <cameronnemo> try with the fix missing option
[21:31] <Ricey> I didn't doo run apt update til the sudo sed -i cdrom was done
[21:31] <Ricey> But I'll try the update?
[21:31] <cameronnemo> sudo apt install --fix-broken --fix-missing lubuntu-desktop
[21:31] <cameronnemo> could work
[21:32] <Ricey> Again, please insert the disc labeled Lubuntu
[21:32] <cameronnemo> dang
[21:32] <cameronnemo> sudo sed -i '/cdrom/d' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
[21:32] <Ricey> Would it be easier you helping me DL/Install via USB again instead of this?
[21:32] <Ricey> O
[21:32] <Ricey> I'll try that too
[21:33] <cameronnemo> I feel like we are actually almost there
[21:33] <cameronnemo> you just need to get rid of all the references to cdrom in the apt sources
[21:33] <Ricey> Failed to fetch cdrom and loads of stuff
[21:33] <cameronnemo> did you try the sed comman?
[21:34] <krytarik> Ricey: egrep -vh '^(#|$)' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*.list}
[21:34] <Ricey> Yes that's where the fail comes from
[21:34] <cameronnemo> +1 on the egrep command
[21:37] <Ricey_> Hi
[21:37] <Ricey_> So
[21:37] <Ricey_> It didn't work
[21:37] <Ricey_> I'll post a photo shortly
[21:42] <Ricey> https://i.imgur.com/57dxuJ8.jpg
[21:47] <cameronnemo> sudo sed -i 's/deb cdrom/#deb cdrom/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:49] <cameronnemo> then go through
[21:49] <cameronnemo> sudo apt update
[21:49] <cameronnemo> sudo apt dist-upgrade
[21:49] <cameronnemo> sudo apt install -f lubuntu-desktop
[21:51] <Ricey_> Unable to locate package lubuntu deskto
[21:51] <Ricey_> p
[21:52] <Ricey_> Everything else worked
[21:52] <krytarik> Ricey: Run all these to get the default repos added -
[21:52] <krytarik> echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:52] <krytarik> echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:52] <krytarik> echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:55] <krytarik> Ricey: Is this instance of yours even here still? >_>
[21:56] <cameronnemo> no he is using Ricey_
[21:57] <cameronnemo> krytarik said to use the following commands
[21:57] <cameronnemo> echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:57] <cameronnemo> echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:57] <cameronnemo> echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:57] <krytarik> cameronnemo: Well, it's definitely in the channel still, but..
[21:57] <cameronnemo> Ricey_: see above
[21:57] <Ricey> I'm here just talking to family a sec
[21:57] <cameronnemo> oh okay
[21:58] <Ricey> Sorry, I don't mean to seem rude :x
[21:59] <cameronnemo> no problem
[22:01] <Ricey> Did all of those commands :D
[22:01] <cameronnemo> cool, then go through:
[22:01] <cameronnemo> sudo apt update
[22:01] <cameronnemo> sudo apt dist-upgrade
[22:01] <cameronnemo> sudo apt install -f lubuntu-desktop
[22:02] <cameronnemo> report back if there are any mentions of cdrom or media or missing packages or similar
[22:09] <Ricey> Seems to be working
[22:09] <Ricey> The install lubuntu is doing its thing
[22:09] <Ricey> 8%
[22:09] <Ricey> So brb a second also
[22:14] <Ricey> Back, it's at 27%
[22:16] <cameronnemo> Great. I actually have to leave right now, but feel free to shoot me a PM on reddit or maybe try this chat later.
[22:24] <CalicoFlows> So I followed  this guide but it didn't work https://ivan.reallusiondesign.com/thinkpad-t430-ubuntu-fan-control/
[22:24] <CalicoFlows> Couldn't I just manually set the fan speed?
[22:25] <CalicoFlows> The fan is quite quiet and the laptop tends to get warm, I just want to run it at high at all times
[22:25] <CalicoFlows> or at the highest inaudible level :)
[22:39] <Ricey> Hey krytarik
[22:39] <Ricey> I did the things stated above about bionic and such and then did the install lubuntu desktop and now it's done, I'm here : https://i.imgur.com/sMmyQZq.jpg
[22:40] <krytarik> Looks good.  So just: "sudo reboot"
[22:42] <Ricey> Oh my god, I'm finally at a actual UI not a terminal
[22:42] <Ricey> Thank you so much
[22:43] <krytarik> Yay! \o/
[22:43] <Ricey> So fucking happy
[22:45] <Ricey> I don't know if I am connected to the internet though, I went to add a connection and I don't quite understand this would you mind to help? I'm really only setting this up for Plex
[22:46] <krytarik> Well, just ask away - but probably better in the main #ubuntu channel on this one.
[22:47] <Ricey> Does it come under ubuntu or here as it's lubuntu?
[22:50] <krytarik> #ubuntu is for Ubuntu and all of its official flavors - and with generic stuff like that I'd rather go where more users are in the channel, in this case way more.
[22:51] <Ricey> Alright I'll try that, thank you :)
[22:57] <Ricey> No one over there is saying anything tbh
[23:03] <krytarik> !details | Ricey: This is probably one reason
[23:04] <Ricey> The only information i could give is Lubuntu 18.04 and I need to add a wifi network, but I've sorted it already but it says Wi-Fi networks device not ready
[23:04] <Ricey> I'll google how to enable it
[23:18] <Ricey> Might aswell post here too? Can anyone give me a hand in enabling my Wifi Device? I'm running Lubuntu 18.04 and it sayd Wi-Fi Networks device not ready.
