[00:08] After all this (semi-sporadic) time using Linux; when an apt-get install fails, I just die a little inside. [00:09] How the hell do I tidy this mess up XD Lord almighty [00:35] NinjaKirby: manually configure DNS. You can reacn outside with, say, `ping 8.8.8.8`? [00:41] Aye, that's what I did, punched in the Google DNS and it was fine. [00:43] Wait wat, I've gone to use internet stuff and it's broken again. [00:44] 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. [00:46] Thanks for the help folks :) === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka [10:46] hello why .go files does not have a icon? === saptech_ is now known as saptech [16:18] 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? [16:19] I suppose it's possible I'm using an incorrect keyboard layout [18:09] 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. [18:20] 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? ;) [18:23] where do I find docs on polkit files, etc.? [18:24] https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/polkit/ [18:25] tnx a lot [20:50] hello [21:04] hi [21:04] i can't upgrade any more i have this message [21:05] Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it? [21:05] sounds like you have some other package manager running [21:06] yes but its not the case [21:06] 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] like you should search your entire process list [21:06] the lock-frontedn file ? [21:06] just because you don't "see" something doesn't mean something isn't running [21:06] correct [21:06] you might actually want to use `lsof` to see what is using it, if anything [21:08] e.g. `sudo lsof | grep /var/lib/dpkg/lock` (you don't have to add the -frontend) [21:10] i have the /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend who is in red [21:10] gmain gbus and dpkg [21:10] so you have dpkg running somewhere [21:11] i should see under this line ? [21:11] gbus also makes me think something graphical is grabbing it [21:11] `lsof` basically tells you what resources are being used by which processes [21:11] i have the last lxqt lubuntu distro [21:11] that error told you that some process is using the file [21:11] your results confirm that [21:12] you DO have some process running that is using the lock [21:12] but which one ? [21:12] maybe you have unattended-upgrades on? [21:12] the ones that showed [21:15] but which one ? [21:15] i don't know really [21:16] you just told me them [21:17] i don't know why i just relaunch the upgrade and now it done [21:17] probably because the process was running in the background and it stopped [21:17] it could be you had some sort of automated upgrades running [21:17] ok [21:18] or it was some other thing that you didn't realize was actually installing packages [21:18] guiverc [21:18] ok thanks [21:18] np [21:18] another thing it about bluetooth [21:19] at the begining my jbl go was recognized but now its not the case [21:19] our bluetooth support is a little incomplete grpahically [21:19] i'm sure you could do it on the command line [21:19] bluetooth device wizard [21:20] ok but what are the command line please ? [21:21] you can read between the lines here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [21:21] ok [21:25] ok i can see it when i tape hcitool scan [21:29] hidd command not found ? [21:38] to appear my device i try to launch this [21:38] sudo hidd --connect 40:EF:4C:7E:A8:AF [21:38] but hidd is not recognized [21:42] 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] Debian bug 477838 in bluez-utils "bluez-utils: hidd is deprecated, use "input service" instead" [Wishlist,Fixed] [22:31] Hmm, it seems strange to me that "let $derp+=1" doesn't work; you have to remove the Dollar sign... [22:32] Unless the dollar sign determines a non-mathematical purpose. [22:36] Oh bollocks, sorry, I typed in the wrong channel. Oh well, to quote Anna Coppola, "Mystery is a mystery". [23:53] greetings all [23:54] fairly new to lubuntu and like it alot, great job devs [23:56] 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? [23:59] i have never seen a virtual keyboard when booting [23:59] could be that fcitx/ibus (depending on t version) is configured in some way to always show it)
