[00:07] it worked!!! Thank you all. I'll use the spanish channel next time [00:08] yay [00:08] we're happy to help here but it should be easier for you to speak there :) [01:05] 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] Robb_: create a desktop entry and throw it in the desktop folder. make sure to set it as a trusted executable [01:09] Thank you! [01:09] oh here we go https://manual.lubuntu.me/5/5.2/desktop_icons.html [03:24] hey [03:25] so when I right click my menu automatically disappears any help? [07:36] 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] what software you were trying to record sound in JyotiGomes? [07:38] JyotiGomes, look in pavucontrol > input devices if the microphone is detected and if the sound level is moving [07:41] my pavucontrol just says "No application is currently recording audio" [07:41] guiverc_d, i mean the input tab [07:41] not recording [07:42] @guiverc_d [ what software you were trying to record sound in JyotiGomes?], google docs 😊 [07:42] 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 [07:44] (Photo, 1280x509) https://i.imgur.com/aOd6YEk.jpg google docs 😊 [07:44] 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] 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) [07:47] 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 ...

[13:24] great work guys [13:24] absolutely splendid [13:24] thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! === ale is now known as Guest598 [14:24] i wonder if 18.04 will ever see a PPC release [15:19] @cdoublejj [ i wonder if 18.04 will ever see a PPC release], No, sorry [15:20] ah 16.04 LTS still hasa few years ofl ife left in i think [15:20] Yup [15:47] why the lubuntu.net is first that lubuntu.me on Google SERP ? [16:15] @WishBoy [ why the lubuntu.net is first that lubuntu.me on Google SERP ?], There's nothing we can do about it. [16:15] We've tried contacting Google to no avail [16:15] hum... [16:15] Lubuntu.me is official though [16:16] and lubuntu.com is parked [16:16] Yeeep. [17:52] wow, parked for $7,000 o.O [17:52] that's insane. [17:52] (I was curious heh) [18:38] We need to come to some international accord on domain squatting === pavlushka is now known as Guest99001 === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka [21:10] 7k for a domain is absolutely insane [21:10] We'll need Canoical to step in for that [21:20] 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] nope [21:20] BUT installing .deb packages are not necessarily a supported way to get software [21:20] well then how do I fix that? [21:20] the worst part about it is everyone deals with things differently [21:21] so there could be a plethora of ways to run software in general [21:21] well whats one way? [21:21] however, there's usually ONE way when it comes to the packages in the repositories [21:21] so generally, the rule is, install packages from the repositories [21:21] spit it out man [21:21] uhuh and? [21:21] then what [21:21] 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] well its installed and shows up etc. [21:22] just dosnt launch [21:22] doesnt* [21:22] what does "shows up" mean? [21:22] in menu? [21:22] when I type in the search bar it shows up [21:22] yep [21:22] something could certainly be set up wrong [21:23] or missing dependency [21:23] I use dpkg and gdeb neither worked [21:23] if you look at the .desktop file corresponding to that application, what's the Exec line? [21:23] yep could be dependencies, too [21:25] hmmm [21:25] might just go back to ubuntu [21:25] it should work the exact same way [21:25] lubuntu is really hard to setup [21:25] it's the same underlying system [21:26] (at least when it comes to launching applications) [21:26] I never had problems launching .deb packages and programs in ubuntu only lubuntu [21:27] and theres barely any tutorial on it [21:27] that sounds like correlation not causation [21:27] the instructions to run software for ubuntu are the same for lubuntu [21:28] interesting [21:28] 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] how do I check the program log? [21:28] what do you mean by program log? [21:28] just the log in general [21:29] 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] hmmm [21:29] welp [21:29] i dunno [21:29] no errors nothing [21:29] just wont launch [21:29] i've asked you two questions to try to help resolve your issue and you've not answered [21:29] i'm not sure i can help you without understanding more [21:32] alright ill try and answer [21:33] Im on lubuntu 18.10 cosmic most recent version. Im trying to run davinci resolve 15. Im trying to use dpkg [21:33] give me a link to this software [21:33] https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/ [21:33] I used a simple script called makedavincideb also [21:34] ok [21:34] well jeez this isn't easy is it now [21:34] heh [21:34] do you have something else that doesn't require me to give them all my information, etc. etc.? [21:35] and maybe is already packaged as a deb file? [21:35] just type random stuff [21:35] it doesnt check it [21:35] it justredirects you to the download [21:35] sorry for my spelling [21:35] well i'm incredibly skeptical of this script [21:35] who provided that? [21:35] the internet [21:35] so not resolve [21:36] Im not sure [21:36] how do you know that script actually works? [21:36] ummmmm I used it and it did [21:36] its not just davinci [21:36] its all the software on here [21:36] it works with what? [21:37] I mean I cant launch anything [21:37] thats .deb originally [21:37] are you on irc from a different computer? [21:37] what is this script and why are you using it? [21:37] remote control? [21:37] no [21:39] http://www.danieltufvesson.com/makeresolvedeb [21:39] yeahhhh [21:39] that's for debian [21:40] well every tutorial still said use that [21:40] ubuntu tutorials [21:40] this is a whole degree of mess [21:40] yep [21:40] so you're using an unsupported script to use some unsupported software [21:41] and you're wondering why it's not working [21:41] *facepalm* [21:41] wxl: no again every single software I have dosnt work [21:41] thats .deb [21:41] so you can't run firefox? [21:41] its already on here [21:41] everything thats on here is fine [21:41] or in the shop [21:41] that's initially a deb package [21:42] you know there is absolutely the possibility that the software you're trying to install is packaged wrong [21:42] uhuh [21:42] ive tried 7 apps [21:42] none have worked though [21:43] how about you give me the simplest and smallest one [21:43] which 7 deb files from the internet? [21:43] you know, one that's actually provided by the software developer as a deb file that's meant to work with ubuntu [21:44] i dunno ima just go back to ubuntu [21:45] ok, good luck [21:53] heh that page has a "When Resolve doesn't start at all or exits immediately" including log file locations
