=== purple-pod is now known as purplepod [00:55] has anyone gotten openvas9 to run on bionic beaver 18.04 yet? [01:25] is libreoffice on xubuntu? [02:04] Is there a "software center" equivalent? I'm using UbuntuStudio, but it's pretty similar to Xubuntu, no? [06:53] hey everyone. I have a question: How to install rtorrent in xubuntu? [06:55] !info rtorrent [06:55] rtorrent (source: rtorrent): ncurses BitTorrent client based on LibTorrent from rakshasa. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.9.6-3build1 (bionic), package size 447 kB, installed size 1629 kB [06:56] Haiku: ↑ [06:56] how to install [06:57] ? [06:58] Haiku, sudo apt install rtorrent [06:58] Thanks [06:59] and in the future [06:59] apt search packagename [07:02] Are there any terminal irc clients in linux? [07:04] Haiku, irssi [07:04] Haiku, f-irc lots of others [07:12] ok :) [07:13] I like weechat [07:14] I want to learn python in linux! Which best book do I need to choose? [07:17] Haiku, learning python the hard way. [07:19] php or python in 2018? [07:19] Haiku, http://automatetheboringstuff.com/ [07:20] Haiku, also google.com have a nice day :) [07:22] php or python in 2018? [07:24] ??? [07:40] :) [09:19] hai am new to linux and i have install xubuntu am facing issue with my rt2870 wifi adapter driver [09:20] please any one help me [09:32] whats your issue [09:33] xubuntu01w, i have two of those stupid wifi chips, there trash :p [11:23] so I installed xubuntu 18.04 by upgrading from 16.04, and now X simply refuses to cooperate. I can get to lightdm, but then getting into herbstluftwm or i3 for instance, practically nothing works. XFCE fails with an error about being unable to connect to the settings server. [11:24] I can open a terminal emulator, but then there's a very long lag between when I type and then it actually comes up [11:25] ogkloo: try to remove .Xauthority and .ICEauthority [11:26] then restart lightdm or the entire machine? [11:26] the pc [11:27] got it [11:31] no luck [11:31] ogkloo: then try to boot the previous kernel [11:33] is there a convenient way to do that or is it involved? If it's involved I'll just put it off until tomorrow morning [11:34] ogkloo: when you boot the pc and reach grub, you choose advanced option and there should be several kernels to choose from [11:36] ah okay [17:39] I was here last night trying to resolve an update issue from 16.04 to 18.04. In attempting to do this, I rolled back to kernel 4.4.0 (from 4.15.0) as suggested. Unfortunately, this didn't work. [17:41] I'm getting strings of seemingly unrelated errors with window managers: herbstluftwm will load, but fails to render a terminal emulator, or allow typing in anything. Openbox can load its dropdown menu, but opening anything causes the screen to start flickering. i3 fails to do anything at all, and xfce dies immediately with "unable to connect to settings server". [17:42] Also, whenever I get into one, and then jump back to tty1, I have to move the mouse to update the screen, unless I'm at the lightdm lockscreen, in which case it works fine. [17:47] I looked into the problem with xfce, and that seems to be related to dbus, which was kinda my first guess anyways. Has anyone else had this when upgrading? Or something like this? [18:01] hm, interestingly mpd works fine. Actually better than pre-upgrade. [18:01] starts on startup, behaves well. Only WMs and the xfce settings server fail it seems like. [18:06] so does cmus. No idea what that means, but sound seems fine. Just graphics. [18:50] Hello all. i am a newb(ie) to linox. How can I play dvds? bionic [18:51] or please direct me to correct chat room [18:52] or continue what you were doing, BUT EITHER WAY, please enjoy your day [18:54] see the dvd factoid https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [18:55] sudo apt-get install libdvd-pkg && sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg [18:55] if it asks any question, hit 'yes' [18:55] oh [19:57] So I can't type at any prompts, but I have full access to ttys- but terminal emulators, rofi, firefox address bar, etc, all do nothing when I select them and type in them [19:58] and some window managers cause the screen to blink [19:59] xfce (but not xubuntu session?) and openbox after I open urxvt [20:00] also the lightdm background wallpaper doesn't load [20:00] feels like there's something connecting those, but I'm not sure what it is and how to fix it [20:11] Oh! So now I kinda have something. I got into an x session [20:12] BUT when try to like, say, xgamma, nothing happens [20:12] xrdb also does nothing [20:12] it seems like I can't send things to X [20:16] compton freezes it [20:28] ogkloo, seems like your problem is something bigger than Xubuntu - compton, i3, openbox, herbstluftwm are far from a default Xubuntu install [20:32] maybe it's a good idea to post that on the Ubuntu forums and/or Ask Ubuntu? more people will probably be able to help [20:32] alright. Any other information you think it might be helpful to gather? [20:34] not sure, I'm not knowledgeable enough to help you with this issue unfortunately, did you try creating new user and see how it behaves? [20:34] oh, no I haven't done that. I'll try it [20:34] thank you [20:35] that could help you diagnose some things, maybe some user specific configs are messing things up === havenstance1 is now known as havenstance [23:00] Hi [23:01] Hola [23:01] !ask [23:01] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).
