| NinjaKirby | After all this (semi-sporadic) time using Linux; when an apt-get install fails, I just die a little inside. | 00:08 |

| NinjaKirby | How the hell do I tidy this mess up XD Lord almighty | 00:09 |
| teward | NinjaKirby: manually configure DNS. You can reacn outside with, say, `ping 8.8.8.8`? | 00:35 |
| NinjaKirby | Aye, that's what I did, punched in the Google DNS and it was fine. | 00:41 |
| NinjaKirby | Wait wat, I've gone to use internet stuff and it's broken again. | 00:43 |
| NinjaKirby | I had to disable/enable the network adapter. Fortunately I don't have alot going on with this Lubuntu, so I will upgrade to the latest LTS. | 00:44 |
| NinjaKirby | Thanks for the help folks :) | 00:46 |

| NinjaKirby | Greetings, I just upgraded to v18.10, in v16 it was possible to hold Win-Key and use arrows to position windows on the screen. Has this functionality switched to another key? | 16:18 |
| NinjaKirby | I suppose it's possible I'm using an incorrect keyboard layout | 16:19 |
| NinjaKirby | For the record, I ended up using a Life Hack known as effort, I click and dragged the window and resized it. Hooray for human creativity. | 18:09 |
| mike_papa | Hello. thanks. Again this is that strange moment, when trying to ask a question is giving you answer for a problem you're struggling with for last 2 hours. Isn't it something like "duck typing" in coding? ;) | 18:20 |
| mike_papa | where do I find docs on polkit files, etc.? | 18:23 |

| mike_papa | tnx a lot | 18:25 |
| hylian | hello | 20:50 |
| mchasard | hi | 21:04 |
| mchasard | i can't upgrade any more i have this message | 21:04 |
| mchasard | Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it? | 21:05 |
| wxl | sounds like you have some other package manager running | 21:05 |
| mchasard | yes but its not the case | 21:06 |
| wxl | if you're absolutely, 100%, unquestionably sure you don't, you can always delete the file and try again. but you should make sure first. | 21:06 |
| wxl | like you should search your entire process list | 21:06 |
| mchasard | the lock-frontedn file ? | 21:06 |
| wxl | just because you don't "see" something doesn't mean something isn't running | 21:06 |
| wxl | correct | 21:06 |
| wxl | you might actually want to use `lsof` to see what is using it, if anything | 21:06 |
| wxl | e.g. `sudo lsof | grep /var/lib/dpkg/lock` (you don't have to add the -frontend) | 21:08 |
| mchasard | i have the /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend who is in red | 21:10 |
| mchasard | gmain gbus and dpkg | 21:10 |
| wxl | so you have dpkg running somewhere | 21:10 |
| mchasard | i should see under this line ? | 21:11 |
| wxl | gbus also makes me think something graphical is grabbing it | 21:11 |
| wxl | `lsof` basically tells you what resources are being used by which processes | 21:11 |
| mchasard | i have the last lxqt lubuntu distro | 21:11 |
| wxl | that error told you that some process is using the file | 21:11 |
| wxl | your results confirm that | 21:11 |
| wxl | you DO have some process running that is using the lock | 21:12 |
| mchasard | but which one ? | 21:12 |
| wxl | maybe you have unattended-upgrades on? | 21:12 |
| wxl | the ones that showed | 21:12 |
| mchasard | but which one ? | 21:15 |
| mchasard | i don't know really | 21:15 |
| wxl | you just told me them | 21:16 |
| mchasard | i don't know why i just relaunch the upgrade and now it done | 21:17 |
| wxl | probably because the process was running in the background and it stopped | 21:17 |
| wxl | it could be you had some sort of automated upgrades running | 21:17 |
| mchasard | ok | 21:17 |
| wxl | or it was some other thing that you didn't realize was actually installing packages | 21:18 |
| mchasard | guiverc | 21:18 |
| mchasard | ok thanks | 21:18 |
| wxl | np | 21:18 |
| mchasard | another thing it about bluetooth | 21:18 |
| mchasard | at the begining my jbl go was recognized but now its not the case | 21:19 |
| wxl | our bluetooth support is a little incomplete grpahically | 21:19 |
| wxl | i'm sure you could do it on the command line | 21:19 |
| mchasard | bluetooth device wizard | 21:19 |
| mchasard | ok but what are the command line please ? | 21:20 |
| wxl | you can read between the lines here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 21:21 |
| mchasard | ok | 21:21 |
| mchasard | ok i can see it when i tape hcitool scan | 21:25 |
| mchasard | hidd command not found ? | 21:29 |
| mchasard | to appear my device i try to launch this | 21:38 |
| mchasard | sudo hidd --connect 40:EF:4C:7E:A8:AF | 21:38 |
| mchasard | but hidd is not recognized | 21:38 |
| wxl | looks like it was deprecated.. bluetoothd-service-input may be the alternative if i read correctly https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=477838 | 21:42 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 477838 in bluez-utils "bluez-utils: hidd is deprecated, use "input service" instead" [Wishlist,Fixed] | 21:42 |
| NinjaKirby | Hmm, it seems strange to me that "let $derp+=1" doesn't work; you have to remove the Dollar sign... | 22:31 |
| NinjaKirby | Unless the dollar sign determines a non-mathematical purpose. | 22:32 |
| NinjaKirby | Oh bollocks, sorry, I typed in the wrong channel. Oh well, to quote Anna Coppola, "Mystery is a mystery". | 22:36 |
| saptech | greetings all | 23:53 |
| saptech | fairly new to lubuntu and like it alot, great job devs | 23:54 |
| saptech | when I boot into lubuntu, at the login screen, I see that virtual keyboard. Why do I need it on a desktop pc and How can I turn it off? | 23:56 |
| wxl | i have never seen a virtual keyboard when booting | 23:59 |
| wxl | could be that fcitx/ibus (depending on t version) is configured in some way to always show it) | 23:59 |
