[00:08] <NinjaKirby> After all this (semi-sporadic) time using Linux; when an apt-get install fails, I just die a little inside.
[00:09] <NinjaKirby> How the hell do I tidy this mess up XD Lord almighty
[00:35] <teward> NinjaKirby: manually configure DNS.  You can reacn outside with, say, `ping 8.8.8.8`?
[00:41] <NinjaKirby> Aye, that's what I did, punched in the Google DNS and it was fine.
[00:43] <NinjaKirby> Wait wat, I've gone to use internet stuff and it's broken again.
[00:44] <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.
[00:46] <NinjaKirby> Thanks for the help folks :)
[10:46] <johnhmalu> hello why .go files does not have a icon?
[16:18] <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?
[16:19] <NinjaKirby> I suppose it's possible I'm using an incorrect keyboard layout
[18:09] <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.
[18:20] <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? ;)
[18:23] <mike_papa> where do I find docs on polkit files, etc.?
[18:24] <apt-ghetto> https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/polkit/
[18:25] <mike_papa> tnx a lot
[20:50] <hylian> hello
[21:04] <mchasard> hi
[21:04] <mchasard>  i can't upgrade any more i have this message
[21:05] <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
[21:06] <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
[21:08] <wxl> e.g. `sudo lsof | grep /var/lib/dpkg/lock` (you don't have to add the -frontend)
[21:10] <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
[21:11] <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
[21:12] <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
[21:15] <mchasard> but which one ?
[21:15] <mchasard> i don't know really
[21:16] <wxl> you just told me them
[21:17] <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
[21:18] <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
[21:19] <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
[21:20] <mchasard> ok but what are the command line please ?
[21:21] <wxl> you can read between the lines here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[21:21] <mchasard> ok
[21:25] <mchasard> ok i can see it when i tape hcitool scan
[21:29] <mchasard> hidd command not found ?
[21:38] <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
[21:42] <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
[22:31] <NinjaKirby> Hmm, it seems strange to me that "let $derp+=1" doesn't work; you have to remove the Dollar sign...
[22:32] <NinjaKirby> Unless the dollar sign determines a non-mathematical purpose.
[22:36] <NinjaKirby> Oh bollocks, sorry, I typed in the wrong channel. Oh well, to quote Anna Coppola, "Mystery is a mystery".
[23:53] <saptech> greetings all
[23:54] <saptech> fairly new to lubuntu and like it alot, great job devs
[23:56] <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?
[23:59] <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)
