| lubot | <HMollerCl> I'm not sure what that is | 00:22 |
|---|---|---|
| lubot | <teward001> bcmwl-kernel-source is bits and pieces for certain broadcom wireless cards | 00:22 |
| lubot | <teward001> if your wifi works as is don't worry about it | 00:22 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> ok | 00:24 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> Right, now I remember. Broadcom are very problematic, if it works don't touch it | 00:27 |
| lubot | <teward001> yep | 00:28 |
| lubot | <teward001> and the nvidia-driver-* won't show up if you don't have an nvidia card supported by the driver | 00:28 |
| lubot | <teward001> so you'd have to check your `lspci` output to determine the card you have then compare against what nvidia-driver-390 supports | 00:28 |
| lubot | <teward001> my *guess* is your card is either too new or too old to be in the supported driverset by that | 00:28 |
| lubot | <teward001> and tehrefore isn't needed | 00:28 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> ok | 00:36 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> I installed the Falkon Browser on my wife's laptop (which has a nvidiadriver 390). I tried a little and it did not crash. I'm going to see a few more days, if it continues to work as well as now, maybe use it instead of Firefox, Falkon seems to be lighter and faster. | 00:37 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> You did well not to put Falkon as the default browser. It's light, fast and good, but it still needs improving. For example, it still does not allow searching through the address bar or importing json bookmarks | 05:59 |
| lubot | mowestusa was removed by: mowestusa | 06:16 |
| diogenes_ | lubot, what do you mean searching through the address bar? also Falkon is the best OSS browser that we have so far. | 06:32 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> @diogenes_ [<diogenes_> lubot, what do you mean searching through the address bar? also Falk …], In other browsers you can write the word you search in the address bar (where the url of the sites appears). In Falkon, if you type a word in the address bar, you are simply sent to the home page. | 11:25 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> in Falkon you can use the address bar exclusivly to url, not for seraching | 11:31 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> Sorry, I was wrong and I think I understood what happened. I have changed the Falkon search engine from "https://www.google.com/search?client=falkon&q=%s" to just "www.google.com". If we use the default Falkon engine provided by Falkon, it works, you can search the address bar. 😊 | 12:01 |
| xdruppi | how can i check what programs i have installed? I have a few that I need as dependencies but I want to check if I already have them... | 14:35 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> Programs or packages? The gui way are in 18.04 synaptic and in 18.10 muon | 14:39 |
| xdruppi | HMollerCl: packages | 14:56 |
| jaggiJ | Can I install lubuntu along windows 7 without issues ? | 15:12 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> @xdruppi [<xdruppi> HMollerCl: packages], Synaptic in lxde, muon in lxqt | 15:19 |
| jaggiJ | ok installing lubuntu for first time, thumbs up | 16:22 |
| jaggiJ | i ran into lot of issues with lubuntu: instalation experience like a system freeze, lack of wifi detection on installed version (though on live it worked), rebooting hanged system and forced me to reboot | 17:26 |
| jaggiJ | (by holding power button) ... other than that : slow, unresponsive | 17:27 |
| jaggiJ | installed on ntfs partition | 17:27 |
| lubot | <teward001> there's your problem. | 17:28 |
| lubot | <teward001> Ubuntu doesn't work on NTFS properly | 17:28 |
| lubot | <teward001> you need to use ext4 | 17:28 |
| lubot | <teward001> and not NTFS | 17:29 |
| jaggiJ | hmm, ok I ll make partition for it specifically and reinstall | 17:31 |
| lubot | <aptghetto> Is it possible to install Lubuntu on NTFS? | 17:31 |
| lubot | <teward001> @aptghetto not in any usable way no | 17:32 |
| lubot | <teward001> Linux requires a UNIX/Linux compatible permissions scheme, not NTFS | 17:32 |
| lubot | <teward001> and typically the go-to is ext4 for Linux | 17:32 |
| lubot | <teward001> that's the current default AIUI for all the installers | 17:32 |
| lubot | <teward001> and has been for eternity | 17:32 |
| apt-ghetto | Yes, so the installer should not allow the installation | 17:33 |
| jaggiJ | yup it shouldn't :P | 17:33 |
| lubot | <teward001> it doesnt stop you if you do "Soething Else" though | 17:33 |
| lubot | <teward001> at which point you chalk it up to PEBKAC | 17:33 |
| lubot | <teward001> Something Else* | 17:33 |
| lubot | <teward001> that's something that should probably be augmented in *all* the installers, but not sure the level of work it'd take since that'd need to be global-implemented | 17:33 |
| lubot | <teward001> across all flavors | 17:34 |
| apt-ghetto | can you open a terminal and post `lsblk -f`? | 17:34 |
| jaggiJ | i am now on win7 | 17:34 |
| apt-ghetto | we have time | 17:34 |
| jaggiJ | i mean i can use cygwin or you want me do it from lubuntu ? | 17:35 |
| jaggiJ | (i am not experienced linux user) | 17:35 |
| apt-ghetto | should be from Lubuntu because it shows also the mountpoints | 17:35 |
| jaggiJ | i am halfway in deleting files from that partition , but i am going to install on new partition again | 17:36 |
| jaggiJ | (so I cant run that lubuntu again) | 17:37 |
| jaggiJ | I ll make ext4 in windows disk manager | 17:38 |
| jaggiJ | I tried do it from within lubuntu instalation but that warning it delete other files scared me away | 17:39 |
| lubot | <teward001> you can't format ext4 in windows lol | 17:39 |
| jaggiJ | so i just went with installation on ntfs along other files | 17:39 |
| lubot | <teward001> resize your windows partition in windows | 17:39 |
| lubot | <teward001> use the free space in the Ubuntu installer | 17:39 |
| jaggiJ | ok, i will just make new partition that I can delete and format from lubuntu installator | 17:39 |
| lubot | <teward001> why not just resize your active windows partition 😐 | 17:40 |
| jaggiJ | i mean it | 17:40 |
| lubot | <teward001> that's the easier part than just 'creating a new partition' just to delete it 😐 | 17:40 |
| lubot | <teward001> *shrugs* | 17:40 |
| lubot | <teward001> *goes back to kicking around his computer and eating food for lunch* | 17:40 |
| jaggiJ | hah great , amvailable shrink space 1gb | 17:48 |
| jaggiJ | i am going defrag it and delete recycle_bin and see | 17:48 |
| jaggiJ | cause i have 86gb free space there | 17:48 |
| sorinello | Hello, any idea to add apps to quicklaunch ? i am searching the web for 30 mins and nothing worked yet | 18:45 |
| diogenes_ | sorinello, what quick launch? | 18:47 |
| sorinello | diogenes_, Quick Launch, on the bottom bar, which contains the FF and PCMANFM-Qt icon | 18:49 |
| sorinello | nvm, I figured it out | 18:58 |
| xdruppi | why does lxqt user configuration show me that there's a user named "nobody" with other info too?, also there's user "systemd-coredump" | 22:55 |
