| jcb2016 | wxl, didn't work on 19.0.4 but i can download 18.0.4 lubuntu https://lubuntu.net/lubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-released/ or can i? | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | jcb2016: did you answer any of my questions? | 00:12 |
| jcb2016 | nope what whwere the questions. i think i rebooted and tried the broadom-sta when you told me to try in 19.0.4 i didn't save the questions my bad | 00:13 |
| jcb2016 | <wxl> hey jcb2016 have you already started that process? < -- last thing i saw | 00:14 |
| wxl | 1. did you modprobe -r all the other drivers before modprobing the one you wanted? | 00:14 |
| jcb2016 | no i didn't i was suppose to do sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma | 00:15 |
| jcb2016 | forgot that didn't have internet in lubuntu | 00:15 |
| jcb2016 | i just wrote it down | 00:16 |
| wxl | it's rather important | 00:17 |
| wxl | go do it over :) | 00:17 |
| wxl | before you go | 00:17 |
| jcb2016 | ok brb | 00:17 |
| wxl | the two other questions: | 00:17 |
| jcb2016 | ok | 00:18 |
| wxl | 2. does anything get returned when you modprobe the driver you want? | 00:18 |
| wxl | 3. if it fails, what's in /var/log/syslog | 00:18 |
| jcb2016 | nothing happend it just loaded | 00:18 |
| jcb2016 | ill copy it to a usb drive when i load it | 00:18 |
| wxl | um | 00:18 |
| wxl | give me the output of `lsmod` too | 00:19 |
| jcb2016 | ok | 00:19 |
| jcb2016 | wxl, i got wifi working | 00:47 |
| jcb2016 | wxl, modprobping -r all the stuff worked im thinking. thanks | 00:48 |
| jcb2016 | :D | 00:48 |
| kc2bez | \o/ | 00:48 |
| jcb2016 | plus its broadcom-sta-dkms and i insrtalled broadcom-common | 00:52 |
| jcb2016 | cacn't wait to install lubuntu | 00:52 |
| jcb2016 | bbl | 00:52 |
| jcb2016 | installing lubuntu as we speak :D | 02:14 |
| jcb2016 | thanks wxl for the help from earlier | 02:14 |
| wxl[m] | jcb2016: did you permanently blacklist those modules? | 02:17 |
| wxl[m] | There are instructions in the documentation | 02:17 |
| jcb2016 | wxl[m]: will it help after the install and reboot? will they stay blacklisted? | 02:18 |
| someball | Hi, I'm doing some bash scripts for hotkeys and I need some help | 02:19 |
| someball | what commands should I look into for rearranging the open apps on the taskbar? | 02:20 |
| someball | I've done apropos taskbar but there were no results | 02:22 |
| wxl[m] | jcb2016: you need it for the changes to be permanent | 02:33 |
| wxl[m] | someball: good question. Not sure there are commands for that. LXDE or LXQt? | 02:34 |
| someball | lxde | 02:41 |
| wxl | and so what specifically do you want to do? | 02:42 |
| someball | imitate the winkey+number hotkeys of windows | 02:43 |
| wxl | i don't do windows | 02:43 |
| someball | so in windows you can focus the window of an app by pressing the winkey+the number of position of said app in the taskbar | 02:45 |
| === lubuntu is now known as Guest59341 | ||
| someball | say you have your terminal in the first position, an editor in the 2nd, browser in 3rd, if you press windows+3 you focus the browser | 02:46 |
| wxl | hm possible | 02:46 |
| wxl | let me dig | 02:46 |
| someball | it's very handy | 02:46 |
| someball | anyway that part I have it done | 02:46 |
| wxl | so you have it fixed? what do you want then? ;D | 02:46 |
| someball | but in my old windows machine I had a few pinned apps to the taskbar, when you do the same hotkeys they launch if they werent launched | 02:47 |
| someball | and since they are pinned they are always in the same positions in the taskbar | 02:48 |
| wxl | so you want a particular hotkey to launch a particular program | 02:48 |
| wxl | that can be done.. but if you want to use the number keys.. that's probably iffy | 02:48 |
| someball | in lubuntu if I use my shortcuts to launch those same apps if I dont launchthem in order they wont be in that order in the taskbar | 02:49 |
| someball | I already can launch them with super+number | 02:49 |
| someball | I just want them to be arranged correctly | 02:49 |
| someball | for example I have the browser at super+2, editor super+3, terminal super+4 | 02:50 |
| wxl | yeah i don't think you're going to be able to get that | 02:51 |
| someball | but if I do super +4 first then the terminal will be first in the taskbar | 02:51 |
| someball | I will keep looking into that tomorrow, its getting late here | 02:52 |
| wxl | you could probably write code to do this, but it's not exposed | 02:52 |
| someball | by code you mean something else than a bash script? | 02:53 |
| wxl | i'm talking c | 02:53 |
| someball | well if it comes to that I guess I wont go further, but I'm hoping it doesnt | 02:53 |
| someball | ciao | 02:54 |
| wxl | bye | 02:54 |
| jcb2016 | up and running wxl and i've blacklisted all the other models/drivers | 02:57 |
| wxl | jcb2016: then you should be good to go :) | 02:58 |
| jcb2016 | thanks for everything | 02:58 |
| jcb2016 | now i just gotta figure this thing out | 02:58 |
| wxl | no problem | 02:59 |
| wxl | what do you need help figuring out? | 02:59 |
| jcb2016 | adding icons to the left side where the desktop numbers are | 03:01 |
| jcb2016 | has to be a panel setting | 03:01 |
| jcb2016 | i want to add chrome | 03:01 |
| jcb2016 | found it | 03:02 |
| jcb2016 | configure panel | 03:02 |
| wxl | drag and drop works, too XD | 03:03 |
| jcb2016 | i had to make it complicated lol | 03:04 |
| wxl | yuuup | 03:04 |
| jcb2016 | wxl, why are you the only one that answers here? | 03:06 |
| wxl | no | 03:06 |
| wxl | sometimes no one answers at all | 03:06 |
| wxl | jk XD | 03:06 |
| jcb2016 | lol | 03:06 |
| jcb2016 | i can play my church videos in chrome and they play perfect. | 03:07 |
| wxl | not in chromium? | 03:08 |
| jcb2016 | nope regular chrome i donwloaded. is that not good? | 03:08 |
| wxl | it's not entirely open source | 03:09 |
| wxl | and it's not as battle tested as chromium on ubuntu | 03:09 |
| jcb2016 | ok ill download chromium | 03:09 |
| wxl | !info chromium-browser | 03:09 |
| ubottu | chromium-browser (source: chromium-browser): Chromium web browser, open-source version of Chrome. In component universe, is optional. Version 73.0.3683.86-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (bionic), package size 59071 kB, installed size 203723 kB | 03:09 |
| wxl | that package | 03:09 |
| jcb2016 | ok | 03:10 |

| bouncy_patt7 | yo | 11:57 |
| bouncy_patt7 | anyone good at linux commands? | 11:58 |
| kc2bez | I guess that depends on what you are looking for bouncy_patt7 | 12:02 |
| bouncy_patt7 | cool beans dude, | 12:03 |
| bouncy_patt7 | newbie here to linux, so far learning this shit is more fun than crack, but anyway, how could I create a shortcut that opens the command iostat in the terminal.. | 12:05 |
| bouncy_patt7 | so like a desktop shortcut i can put onto the taskbar.... ty | 12:05 |
| kc2bez | careful with the !language | 12:07 |
| bouncy_patt7 | sorry | 12:08 |
| bouncy_patt7 | sry | 12:08 |
| kc2bez | so what you want is known as a desktop file | 12:08 |
| kc2bez | no worries. | 12:08 |
| kc2bez | check out this link I think it will help you get started https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-create-custom-desktop-files-for-launchers-on-linux | 12:08 |
| bouncy_patt7 | nice one bud, | 12:10 |

| Jonopoly | Ooh a lubuntu server! | 14:18 |
| Jonopoly | Is it possible to run lubuntu LTS with LxQT? | 14:33 |
| Jonopoly | rather than lxde ? | 14:33 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> @Jonopoly [<Jonopoly> Is it possible to run lubuntu LTS with LxQT?], you can install lxqt as a DE in lubuntu 18.04 | 14:34 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> (as you can install any other Desktop Environment) | 14:35 |
| Jonopoly | what's this lubot? is there another server (discord?) | 14:48 |
| Jonopoly | @HMollerC1 can install another DE ontop of Lubuntu but.. can i then cleanly remove Lxde ? | 14:49 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> I'm not sure if it will be cleanly | 14:50 |
| Jonopoly | :( | 14:50 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> but why do you want toi remove it? space issues? | 14:51 |
| Jonopoly | just always thought it was bad-practice to have multiple DE | 14:51 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> it would be cleaner to have only one, but remove the original might cause issues. | 14:53 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> I've never done it, maybe someone did it and had no problems (or had them) | 14:54 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> anyway, it would be normal lxqt, not lxqt "touched" by lubuntu. | 14:55 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> @Jonopoly [<Jonopoly> what's this lubot? is there another server (discord?)], Lubot is a bridge for telegram to IRC | 14:58 |
| Jonopoly | Ah im new to irc - will look into telegram | 15:01 |
| Jonopoly | Im tempted to just get the later version of lubuntu with lxqt | 15:02 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> That would be my recommendation. I think it's a better experience. | 15:02 |
| Jonopoly | even though it's unstable | 15:03 |
| Jonopoly | My usage is just browsing | 15:03 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> It is stable just the support cycle is shorter. | 15:04 |
| Jonopoly | oh is it? | 15:11 |
| Jonopoly | what is the support cycle? yearly? | 15:11 |
| Jonopoly | and since it's short is it easy to upgrade to the next version? | 15:11 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> 9 months on the non-lts but upgrades are easy. | 15:12 |
| Jonopoly | i can see there is 18.10 Cosmic Cuttlefish | 15:13 |
| Jonopoly | and 19.04 Disco Dingo | 15:13 |
| Jonopoly | ah it seems 19.04 has second longest support | 15:14 |
| Jonopoly | (that's exciting! will give it ago) | 15:14 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> Yes, 19.04 is the latest release. | 15:17 |
| Jonopoly | exciting! | 15:38 |
| jimmy | hi guys I installed lubuntu 18.10 | 15:57 |
| jimmy | how can I install voice commands? | 15:57 |
| Jonopoly | Hi Jimmy, I don't know | 15:58 |
| apt-ghetto | Do you know, which packages you need? | 15:58 |
| jimmy | no | 15:58 |
| apt-ghetto | Well, that is the important question | 15:58 |
| jimmy | are there any global voice commands? | 15:59 |
| jimmy | for linux pc? | 15:59 |
| jimmy | in english | 15:59 |
| apt-ghetto | I don't know, but I don't speak with my computers | 16:01 |
| jimmy | why not? | 16:01 |
| jimmy | some people speak with alexa | 16:01 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> @jimmy [<jimmy> are there any global voice commands?], There are not. | 16:01 |
| apt-ghetto | Cortana, Siri, Alexa send the data to external servers and collect the data for "who knows what" | 16:02 |
| jimmy | oh I see | 16:02 |
| jimmy | ok I will check my version and return back later | 16:02 |
| Jonopoly | Well, now i'm gutted | 18:28 |
| Jonopoly | Lubuntu 19.04 is 64bit only :() | 18:28 |
| Jonopoly | Lubuntu 19.04 is 64bit only :( | 18:28 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> True. 18.10 is the last 32 bit release we had. | 18:30 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> @kc2bez [True. 18.10 is the last 32 bit release we had.], but in that case, better to stay in 18.04 | 18:30 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> which is LTS | 18:30 |
| Jonopoly | aw :( | 18:31 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> are you sure you can't install 64bit? | 18:31 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> What do you have for a CPU? | 18:31 |
| Jonopoly | Keep getting this weird error every boot | 19:04 |
| Jonopoly | "system program problem detected" | 19:05 |
| teward | HMollerCl: there's no 32bit installer ISO | 20:09 |
| teward | you can install older 32bit and then upgrade to it | 20:10 |
| teward | upgrade to newer* | 20:10 |
| jonopoly | lubuntu 19.04 is so nice | 20:25 |
| wxl | thanks jonopoly :) | 20:27 |
| jonopoly | Oh you're a lubuntu developer? | 20:28 |
| wxl | yep | 20:28 |
| jonopoly | wxl: I like it because it light and seems very beginner friendly | 20:28 |
| jonopoly | basically lets me use a 7+ old laptop :P | 20:28 |
| wxl | yep but it's extremely functional, too. i think what we do is pretty fantastic :) | 20:29 |
| teward | wxl is one of the primary driving forces behind Lubuntu | 20:29 |
| teward | so is @tsimonq2 | 20:29 |
| teward | and there's a number of other LUbuntu Devs involved | 20:29 |
| teward | i don't count (I just keep their specialized infra running xD) | 20:29 |
| jonopoly | wow, well i'm loving it so far | 20:29 |
| jonopoly | suprising how much nicer 19 is than 18 | 20:30 |
| wxl | well, and we have plenty of contributors, too, of which teward is one of | 20:30 |
| wxl | you don't have to write code to help :) | 20:30 |
| wxl | jonopoly: you mean 18.04, i presume? | 20:30 |
| jonopoly | yeah, sorry (lts) | 20:30 |
| teward | wxl: so my being a constant thorn in you and SImon's sides then counts as helping? xD | 20:30 |
| teward | nah I kid but :P | 20:31 |
| wxl | jonopoly: yeah well lxqt is much more modern and developed | 20:34 |
| jonopoly | yeah, feels very modern | 20:36 |
| jonopoly | lxde reminded me of xfce (both felt quite old) | 20:36 |
| wxl | jonopoly: i think xfce is probably more developed than lxde. it's REALLY BAD with lxde. | 20:38 |
| wxl | jonopoly: to be fair, i'm concerned about the likes of raspbian (for the raspberry pi) where lxde is a default desktop environment. | 20:38 |
| wxl | re: XFCE, nevermind. last release was 2015 XD https://xfce.org/ | 20:39 |
| jonopoly | wxl: fingers-crossed for raspberry-pi 4 | 20:39 |
| wxl | it seems like xfce is capable of using gtk3 so that's a good sign for it | 20:42 |
