[00:07] <joser0913> it worked!!! Thank you all. I'll use the spanish channel next time
[00:08] <wxl> yay
[00:08] <wxl> we're happy to help here but it should be easier for you to speak there :)
[01:05] <Robb_> I'm on Lubuntu 18.10. This is going to be my mom's laptop and I need to create a shorcut on the desktop for her to access LibreOfficeWriter. I don't know how to
[01:07] <wxl> Robb_: create a desktop entry and throw it in the desktop folder. make sure to set it as a trusted executable
[01:09] <Robb_> Thank you!
[01:09] <wxl> oh here we go https://manual.lubuntu.me/5/5.2/desktop_icons.html
[03:24] <aden_> hey
[03:25] <aden_> so when I right click my menu automatically disappears any help?
 Good Morning. Does the Lubuntu 1810 and 1904 have no drivers installed to pick up sound from the microphone? I tried to record a text and did not recognize the sound, as if the microphone did not work. Do I need to install drivers or some app?
[07:38] <guiverc_d> what software you were trying to record sound in JyotiGomes?
[07:38] <diogenes_> JyotiGomes, look in pavucontrol > input devices if the microphone is detected and if the sound level is moving
[07:41] <guiverc_d> my pavucontrol just says "No application is currently recording audio"
[07:41] <diogenes_> guiverc_d, i mean the input tab
[07:41] <diogenes_> not recording
 @guiverc_d [<guiverc_d> what software you were trying to record sound in JyotiGomes?], google docs 😊
[07:42] <guiverc_d> okay sorry was looking at "recording" - in "input devices" i saw nothing till I selected "all input devices" , now yeah it sees I think the background of my 'ping' noise from hexchat
 (Photo, 1280x509) https://i.imgur.com/aOd6YEk.jpg google docs 😊
[07:44] <guiverc_d> JyotiGomes:  `sudo lshw -C sound` shows what the kernel recognizes as my audio devices; I suspect your issue is this level (kernel modules, but I'm no expert there, #ubuntu may be better but not for telegram I suspect)
[07:47] <guiverc_d> I don't know gdocs (outside of text), it could be you have settings restricting use in your browser (if done thru that; i've used the heh-google for searches briefly to play, then disabled it as I didn't like browser having access to my microphone)
 After  sudo lshw -C sound, the output is:  ...   *-usb:1                    ...        description: Video ...        product: HP Webcam ...        vendor: Chicony Electronics Co.,Ltd. ...        physical id: 5 ...        bus info: usb@1:5 ...        version: 18.14 ...        serial: 0x0001 ...        capabilities: usb-2.00 ...
[07:48] <guiverc_d> !pastebinit |JyotiGomes
 ok, my bad, sorry 😊
[13:23] <duga_duga_DIDZ> duga just want to say thank you for creating such an amazing O/S, the Lubuntu 18.10 release is the most beautiful, responsive and perfect Linux distro I have ever seen!
[13:24] <duga_duga_DIDZ> great work guys
[13:24] <duga_duga_DIDZ> absolutely splendid
[13:24] <duga_duga_DIDZ> thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[14:24] <cdoublejj> i wonder if 18.04 will ever see a PPC release
 @cdoublejj [<cdoublejj> i wonder if 18.04 will ever see a PPC release], No, sorry
[15:20] <cdoublejj> ah 16.04 LTS still hasa few years ofl ife left in i think
 Yup
[15:47] <WishBoy> why the lubuntu.net is first that lubuntu.me on Google SERP ?
 @WishBoy [<WishBoy> why the lubuntu.net is first that lubuntu.me on Google SERP ?], There's nothing we can do about it.
 We've tried contacting Google to no avail
[16:15] <WishBoy> hum...
 Lubuntu.me is official though
[16:16] <cdoublejj> and lubuntu.com is parked
 Yeeep.
[17:52] <teward> wow, parked for $7,000 o.O
[17:52] <teward> that's insane.
[17:52] <teward> (I was curious heh)
[18:38] <genii> We need to come to some international accord on domain squatting
 7k for a domain is absolutely insane
 We'll need Canoical to step in for that
[21:20] <aden_> Uhh so after I install a .deb package it shows up and everything but when I launch it absolutely nothing happens ive tried minecraft, davici resolve etc nothing launches? Is there like a default app opener I have to install or something?
[21:20] <wxl> nope
[21:20] <wxl> BUT installing .deb packages are not necessarily a supported way to get software
[21:20] <aden_> well then how do I fix that?
[21:20] <wxl> the worst part about it is everyone deals with things differently
[21:21] <wxl> so there could be a plethora of ways to run software in general
[21:21] <aden_> well whats one way?
[21:21] <wxl> however, there's usually ONE way when it comes to the packages in the repositories
[21:21] <wxl> so generally, the rule is, install packages from the repositories
[21:21] <aden_> spit it out man
[21:21] <aden_> uhuh and?
[21:21] <aden_> then what
[21:21] <wxl> if you must get software from elsewhere, we don't support it. you generally need to look at their documentation to see how they say to run it
[21:22] <aden_> well its installed and shows up etc.
[21:22] <aden_> just dosnt launch
[21:22] <aden_> doesnt*
[21:22] <wxl> what does "shows up" mean?
[21:22] <lynorian> in menu?
[21:22] <aden_> when I type in the search bar it shows up
[21:22] <aden_> yep
[21:22] <wxl> something could certainly be set up wrong
[21:23] <lynorian> or missing dependency
[21:23] <aden_> I use dpkg and gdeb neither worked
[21:23] <wxl> if you look at the .desktop file corresponding to that application, what's the Exec line?
[21:23] <wxl> yep could be dependencies, too
[21:25] <aden_> hmmm
[21:25] <aden_> might just go back to ubuntu
[21:25] <wxl> it should work the exact same way
[21:25] <aden_> lubuntu is really hard to setup
[21:25] <wxl> it's the same underlying system
[21:26] <wxl> (at least when it comes to launching applications)
[21:26] <aden_> I never had problems launching .deb packages and programs in ubuntu only lubuntu
[21:27] <aden_> and theres barely any tutorial on it
[21:27] <wxl> that sounds like correlation not causation
[21:27] <wxl> the instructions to run software for ubuntu are the same for lubuntu
[21:28] <aden_> interesting
[21:28] <wxl> let's try to get specific here for a moment. what version of lubuntu are you on and what specific software (pick one) are you trying to run? give me a link.
[21:28] <aden_> how do I check the program log?
[21:28] <wxl> what do you mean by program log?
[21:28] <aden_> just the log in general
[21:29] <wxl> just like with any operating system i know of, there's no "general log" per se. /var/log/syslog is the closest there is, but that's not going to tell you the result of every application that ran.
[21:29] <aden_> hmmm
[21:29] <aden_> welp
[21:29] <aden_> i dunno
[21:29] <aden_> no errors nothing
[21:29] <aden_> just wont launch
[21:29] <wxl> i've asked you two questions to try to help resolve your issue and you've not answered
[21:29] <wxl> i'm not sure i can help you without understanding more
[21:32] <aden_> alright ill try and answer
[21:33] <aden_> Im on lubuntu 18.10 cosmic most recent version. Im trying to run davinci resolve 15. Im trying to use dpkg
[21:33] <wxl> give me a link to this software
[21:33] <aden_> https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/
[21:33] <aden_> I used a simple script called makedavincideb also
[21:34] <wxl> ok
[21:34] <wxl> well jeez this isn't easy is it now
[21:34] <aden_> heh
[21:34] <wxl> do you have something else that doesn't require me to give them all my information, etc. etc.?
[21:35] <wxl> and maybe is already packaged as a deb file?
[21:35] <aden_> just type random stuff
[21:35] <aden_> it doesnt check it
[21:35] <aden_> it justredirects you to the download
[21:35] <aden_> sorry for my spelling
[21:35] <wxl> well i'm incredibly skeptical of this script
[21:35] <wxl> who provided that?
[21:35] <aden_> the internet
[21:35] <wxl> so not resolve
[21:36] <aden_> Im not sure
[21:36] <wxl> how do you know that script actually works?
[21:36] <aden_> ummmmm I used it and it did
[21:36] <aden_> its not just davinci
[21:36] <aden_> its all the software on here
[21:36] <wxl> it works with what?
[21:37] <aden_> I mean I cant launch anything
[21:37] <aden_> thats .deb originally
[21:37] <lynorian> are you on irc from a different computer?
[21:37] <wxl> what is this script and why are you using it?
[21:37] <aden_> remote control?
[21:37] <aden_> no
[21:39] <aden_> http://www.danieltufvesson.com/makeresolvedeb
[21:39] <wxl> yeahhhh
[21:39] <wxl> that's for debian
[21:40] <aden_> well every tutorial still said use that
[21:40] <aden_> ubuntu tutorials
[21:40] <wxl> this is a whole degree of mess
[21:40] <aden_> yep
[21:40] <wxl> so you're using an unsupported script to use some unsupported software
[21:41] <wxl> and you're wondering why it's not working
[21:41] <wxl> *facepalm*
[21:41] <aden_> wxl: no again every single software I have dosnt work
[21:41] <aden_> thats .deb
[21:41] <wxl> so you can't run firefox?
[21:41] <aden_> its already on here
[21:41] <aden_> everything thats on here is fine
[21:41] <aden_> or in the shop
[21:41] <wxl> that's initially a deb package
[21:42] <wxl> you know there is absolutely the possibility that the software you're trying to install is packaged wrong
[21:42] <aden_> uhuh
[21:42] <aden_> ive tried 7 apps
[21:42] <aden_> none have worked though
[21:43] <wxl> how about you give me the simplest and smallest one
[21:43] <lynorian> which 7 deb files from the internet?
[21:43] <wxl> you know, one that's actually provided by the software developer as a deb file that's meant to work with ubuntu
[21:44] <aden_> i dunno ima just go back to ubuntu
[21:45] <wxl> ok, good luck
[21:53] <wxl> heh that page has a "When Resolve doesn't start at all or exits immediately" including log file locations
