[06:56] <lapion> hello
[06:57] <diogenes_> hello
[06:58] <lapion> since the removal of gksudo I am being asked to select a sudo user even though the current user has sudo rights.
[06:59] <lapion> things such as flash installer is broken over this
[07:00] <lapion> as is synaptic
[07:00] <lapion> pkexec
[07:01] <diogenes_> lapion, why u removed gksudo?
[07:02] <lapion> ubuntu 18.04 has no gksudo anymore
[07:02] <lapion> debian removed it
[07:03] <diogenes_> and?
[07:03] <lapion> xubuntu also has no gksudo anymore
[07:03] <lapion> upon upgrade gksudo is removed
[07:03] <diogenes_> but it came with your system
[07:04] <diogenes_> u didnt upgrade
[07:04] <lapion> and if one has more then one user with sudo group one will be asked which user to use in stead of simply assuming the current user is the destined sudo user
[07:04] <lapion> diogenes_, it came with 16.04 witht he upgrade to 18.04 it got removed
[07:06] <diogenes_> u said u removed it or the upgrade removed it?
[07:06] <lapion> diogenes_, the upgrade of course otherwhise I would not be here
[07:07] <diogenes_> then it's a broken upgrade process
[07:07] <lapion> no diogenes_ it has been removed from ubuntu
[07:07] <lapion> it is no longer in the repositories
[07:08] <diogenes_> i understand but it must no create issue
[07:09] <diogenes_> if it creates issue then it's a broken upgrade, something went wrong
[07:10] <diogenes_> that's why i prefer fresh install
[07:11] <lapion> well diogenes_ add a second user to the sudo group install synaptic package manager and try to run it from menu->system tools->synaptic that will not work, then run the command from a terminial (synaptic.pkexec) to find out why it will not run from menu
[07:12] <lapion> this same behaviour happens with all pkexec-ed programs
[07:12] <lapion> if one has more then one user with sudo rights
[07:13] <diogenes_> lapion, i'm on a different distro rn :)
[07:13] <lapion> even if the user running the pkexec  command is part of sudo group
[07:25] <lapion> diogenes_, for some reason pkexec does not use /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1
[07:26] <lapion> and in stead tries to ask the question from a terminal window
[13:55] <xubuntu11w> Is it possible to use Xubuntu with ATI Radeon HD 4650 ?
[17:17] <kumul> is there a way to install all additional dependencies in an executable?
[17:17] <kumul> like automatically
[17:19] <kumul> i'll ask on #ubuntu
[21:11] <xubuntu40w> hello
[21:12] <xubuntu40w> I wanto upgrade my bionic 32 bit xubuntu to cosmic. Ho can I do that?
[21:13] <diogenes_> xubuntu40w, afaik cosmic is 64 only? not sure though
[21:14] <xubuntu40w> there is 32 bits version for xubuntu
[21:15] <xubuntu40w> https://xubuntu.org/download/
[21:16] <xubuntu40w> but no way to upgrade. do-release-upgrade refuses to do it
[21:16] <diogenes_> yep there is, pardon, then  you need to first upgrade to bionic
[21:16] <diogenes_> and then to cosmic
[21:16] <diogenes_> or you're on bionic already
[21:17] <xubuntu40w> I am on bionic
[21:20] <diogenes_> did you set it to upgrade whenever a new release is available/.
[21:20] <diogenes_> or you set to notify for LTS only?
[21:24] <xubuntu40w> I set it to upgrade whenever a new release is available/
[21:24] <diogenes_> try:  do-release-upgrade -d
[21:27] <xubuntu40w> no luck
[21:48] <xubuntu40w> changing bionic into cosmic in /etc/apt/sources.list allows to upgrade. But it is not friendly-user
[21:49] <diogenes_> you mean not user friendly :)
[21:50] <xubuntu40w> :)
