[02:46] I don't even use ubuntu [02:46] or lubuntu in this case [02:46] :p === guiverc_d is now known as guiverc [04:18] m_idr was added by: m_idr [05:37] hi. lubuntu 18.04 and old netbook acer ao725. The touchpad is disabled at the boot and i need use Fn+f7 key to enable it. I want working touchpad at boot [06:04] JohnDoe_71Rus, I can't help (i use only desktops), but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Mouse contains information that may help you === lubuntu is now known as Guest38478 [07:47] h [07:48] LostNB was added by: LostNB [08:31] johnortiz was added by: johnortiz [09:35] hi [11:40] can anyone suggests a lightest ubuntu flavour? the newest lubuntu lags on my old laptop [11:42] please suggest a lighter ubuntu flavor. Latest version (with LXQt) 18.10 is not running properly on my old laptop [11:42] adcax, lubuntu is generally regarded as the lightest, however you can also misused a desktop & make it perform worse than another if you use inappropriate apps on it (eg. use GTK+ apps on a Qt base and you've caused your memory to have duplicate libs wasting memory..) [11:43] I tested Lubuntu 18.10 on a 1gb single core pentium M - and I was happy. but with only 1gb of memory, I'd be careful with the apps I used... [11:44] ok thanks [11:45] I also tested Xubuntu (GTK+) on the same laptop -- if I wanted GTK+ apps, Xubuntu would possibly be a better choice; but I did prefer Lubuntu on it (with Qt base) [11:45] (Lubuntu 18.04 with LXDE may also be another choice... with it's longer LTS life) [11:46] my point is you need to consider the DESKTOP (& its base) with apps you intend using; esp. with limited ram... with enough ram you can ignore the libs (& memory they require) [12:19] I have 18.04, if I run the command "apt full-upgrade" would this install a newer version of lubuntu? === BrianG61UK_ is now known as BrianG61UK [12:35] No, it takes the repos defined in /etc/apt/source.list your added sources === lubuntu is now known as Guest19442 === Erich is now known as Eickmeyer [22:06] Abraham Martinez Diaz was added by: Abraham Martinez Diaz [22:06] Hello [22:07] i'm new to this group [22:08] I'm using lubuntu 19.04 and there's an error with inkscape [22:12] Abraham (use a nickname/username for IRC people to be able to mention you easier), try adding -o=APT::Install-Suggests=false to your apt command [22:12] E: The "python-uniconvertor" package does not have a candidate for installation [22:13] is that with my suggestion? [22:14] @wxl [ Abraham (use a nickname/username for IRC people to be able to mention you …], ok [22:19] inkscape is installed [22:19] horray :) [22:20] but I need that package [22:20] you need python-uniconvertor? [22:20] @wxl [ you need python-uniconvertor?], Yes [22:20] the application has a bug [22:21] that package hasn't been available since 16.04 :( [22:21] @wxl [ that package hasn't been available since 16.04 :(], :'( [22:22] Any suggestions? [22:22] i think there may be a snap package.. you could try that perhaps [22:23] python-uniconvertor is broken in upstream debian, too [22:24] what's really strange though is that it's a *SUGGEST*, which is the lowest form of "dependency." it's not even a dependency, technically. it's an enhancement. [22:25] i.e. inkscape should work just fine without it [22:25] the other thing i can tell you, is that this problem should exist across every flavor of ubuntu and debian and all of their derivatives [22:28] suggests can be wierd? [22:29] Suggests can be outdated and not even factor anything that actually exists or not. [22:29] that [22:30] @wxl [ i.e. inkscape should work just fine without it], the application closes because of that error [22:30] how do you know it's because of that error and not some other problem? [22:33] The weird thing is that in my work I have Lubuntu 18.04 LXTQ and inkscape works fine but in Lubuntu 19.04 no [22:34] different versions of inkscape.. not necessarily weir [22:34] d [22:35] @wxl [ different versions of inkscape.. not necessarily weir], ok [22:35] so what is the error? and how do you know it's related to uniconvertor? [22:36] when I copy and paste images that error appears [22:36] what error? [22:37] and inkscape seems to need it for svg images [22:37] give me a second and I translate the error [22:47] oh seems there is a github fork that has emerged after orignial maintainer left [22:49] You must install the UniConvertor software. … For GNU-Linux: install the python uniconverter package. … For Windows: Download it from … https://sk1project.net/modules.php?name=Products&product=uniconvertor&op=download and install it in the Python location on your system [22:53] I did not know, I did not know it [22:54] @lynorian [ oh seems there is a github fork that has emerged after orignial maint …], I did not know, I did not know it [22:55] @ajedrezAbraham I was not talking about inkscape more stuff iwth the manual [22:57] 👍 [22:57] @AjedrezAbraham https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/437143 [22:58] tl;dr save to svg and you should be able to get around the issue [22:58] otherwise try the snap https://snapcraft.io/inkscape [23:00] Another option is to ask someone on #inkscape on irc. [23:00] i suspect it won't go well [23:00] "tell your distribution to fix their packages" [23:01] wxl: I've only ever once encountered that. [23:02] Eickmeyer: oh what blissful world you must live in :) [23:05] wxl the github fork somewhat works [23:06] I think I should rename the LXDE branch as 18.04 [23:07] i agree (also -> devel) [23:08] @lubuntu_bot I will try to install UniConvertor from https://sk1project.net/viewpage.php?page_id=26 [23:09] @AjedrezAbraham that's really old and targeted at the *10.04* version of ubuntu. i would NOT suggest it [23:11] @wxl [ @AjedrezAbraham that's really old and targeted at the *10.04* version of u …], This package: … python-uniconvertor-2.0rc4_20190402_ubuntu_18.10_amd64.deb [23:19] sudo dpkg -i python-uniconvertor-2.0rc4_20190402_ubuntu_18.10_amd64.deb [23:20] sudo apt install -f [23:21] it worked 😃 [23:21] yay [23:22] XD [23:22] Eickmeyer: if you have any intention of caring about that and have people to bug about it it looks like they may not know where the upstream is? [23:40] * Eickmeyer is confused [23:41] wxl: if that package is needed for some workflows, then it might be worth getting the github fork packaged. [23:42] Eickmeyer: well, inkscape XD it looks like debian can't find the upstream source [23:42] wxl: I'll ask about it. [23:43] Expecially since it directly affects Ubuntu Studio. [23:45] well thanks because it doesn't lubuntu XD
