[00:08] 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? [00:12] jcb2016: did you answer any of my questions? [00:13] 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 [00:14] hey jcb2016 have you already started that process? < -- last thing i saw [00:14] 1. did you modprobe -r all the other drivers before modprobing the one you wanted? [00:15] no i didn't i was suppose to do sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma [00:15] forgot that didn't have internet in lubuntu [00:16] i just wrote it down [00:17] it's rather important [00:17] go do it over :) [00:17] before you go [00:17] ok brb [00:17] the two other questions: [00:18] ok [00:18] 2. does anything get returned when you modprobe the driver you want? [00:18] 3. if it fails, what's in /var/log/syslog [00:18] nothing happend it just loaded [00:18] ill copy it to a usb drive when i load it [00:18] um [00:19] give me the output of `lsmod` too [00:19] ok [00:47] wxl, i got wifi working [00:48] wxl, modprobping -r all the stuff worked im thinking. thanks [00:48] :D [00:48] \o/ [00:52] plus its broadcom-sta-dkms and i insrtalled broadcom-common [00:52] cacn't wait to install lubuntu [00:52] bbl [02:14] installing lubuntu as we speak :D [02:14] thanks wxl for the help from earlier [02:17] jcb2016: did you permanently blacklist those modules? [02:17] There are instructions in the documentation [02:18] wxl[m]: will it help after the install and reboot? will they stay blacklisted? [02:19] Hi, I'm doing some bash scripts for hotkeys and I need some help [02:20] what commands should I look into for rearranging the open apps on the taskbar? [02:22] I've done apropos taskbar but there were no results [02:33] jcb2016: you need it for the changes to be permanent [02:34] someball: good question. Not sure there are commands for that. LXDE or LXQt? [02:41] lxde [02:42] and so what specifically do you want to do? [02:43] imitate the winkey+number hotkeys of windows [02:43] i don't do windows [02:45] 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 === lubuntu is now known as Guest59341 [02:46] 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] hm possible [02:46] let me dig [02:46] it's very handy [02:46] anyway that part I have it done [02:46] so you have it fixed? what do you want then? ;D [02:47] 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 [02:48] and since they are pinned they are always in the same positions in the taskbar [02:48] so you want a particular hotkey to launch a particular program [02:48] that can be done.. but if you want to use the number keys.. that's probably iffy [02:49] 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] I already can launch them with super+number [02:49] I just want them to be arranged correctly [02:50] for example I have the browser at super+2, editor super+3, terminal super+4 [02:51] yeah i don't think you're going to be able to get that [02:51] but if I do super +4 first then the terminal will be first in the taskbar [02:52] I will keep looking into that tomorrow, its getting late here [02:52] you could probably write code to do this, but it's not exposed [02:53] by code you mean something else than a bash script? [02:53] i'm talking c [02:53] well if it comes to that I guess I wont go further, but I'm hoping it doesnt [02:54] ciao [02:54] bye [02:57] up and running wxl and i've blacklisted all the other models/drivers [02:58] jcb2016: then you should be good to go :) [02:58] thanks for everything [02:58] now i just gotta figure this thing out [02:59] no problem [02:59] what do you need help figuring out? [03:01] adding icons to the left side where the desktop numbers are [03:01] has to be a panel setting [03:01] i want to add chrome [03:02] found it [03:02] configure panel [03:03] drag and drop works, too XD [03:04] i had to make it complicated lol [03:04] yuuup [03:06] wxl, why are you the only one that answers here? [03:06] no [03:06] sometimes no one answers at all [03:06] jk XD [03:06] lol [03:07] i can play my church videos in chrome and they play perfect. [03:08] not in chromium? [03:08] nope regular chrome i donwloaded. is that not good? [03:09] it's not entirely open source [03:09] and it's not as battle tested as chromium on ubuntu [03:09] ok ill download chromium [03:09] !info chromium-browser [03:09] 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] that package [03:10] ok [03:11] so i found this laptop in the garage been sitting for like 2 years. its hp and my son has a hp. my son has the charger and it works on both laptops. he is charging his right now and this one needs to charge so i will be back later or tomorrow [03:11] later [03:11] thanks again [03:12] k be well [04:44] Jhoni Do was added by: Jhoni Do === rizwan_ is now known as Riz1 [08:49] 3 [08:49] 3312 === con3|2 is now known as con3 [11:57] yo [11:58] anyone good at linux commands? [12:02] I guess that depends on what you are looking for bouncy_patt7 [12:03] cool beans dude, [12:05] 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] so like a desktop shortcut i can put onto the taskbar.... ty [12:07] careful with the !language [12:08] sorry [12:08] sry [12:08] so what you want is known as a desktop file [12:08] no worries. [12:08] 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 [12:10] nice one bud, [12:10] <3 ty [12:10] yw [14:18] Ooh a lubuntu server! [14:33] Is it possible to run lubuntu LTS with LxQT? [14:33] rather than lxde ? [14:34] @Jonopoly [ Is it possible to run lubuntu LTS with LxQT?], you can install lxqt as a DE in lubuntu 18.04 [14:35] (as you can install any other Desktop Environment) [14:48] what's this lubot? is there another server (discord?) [14:49] @HMollerC1 can install another DE ontop of Lubuntu but.. can i then cleanly remove Lxde ? [14:50] I'm not sure if it will be cleanly [14:50] :( [14:51] but why do you want toi remove it? space issues? [14:51] just always thought it was bad-practice to have multiple DE [14:53] it would be cleaner to have only one, but remove the original might cause issues. [14:54] I've never done it, maybe someone did it and had no problems (or had them) [14:55] anyway, it would be normal lxqt, not lxqt "touched" by lubuntu. [14:58] @Jonopoly [ what's this lubot? is there another server (discord?)], Lubot is a bridge for telegram to IRC [15:01] Ah im new to irc - will look into telegram [15:02] Im tempted to just get the later version of lubuntu with lxqt [15:02] That would be my recommendation. I think it's a better experience. [15:03] even though it's unstable [15:03] My usage is just browsing [15:04] It is stable just the support cycle is shorter. [15:11] oh is it? [15:11] what is the support cycle? yearly? [15:11] and since it's short is it easy to upgrade to the next version? [15:12] 9 months on the non-lts but upgrades are easy. [15:13] i can see there is 18.10 Cosmic Cuttlefish [15:13] and 19.04 Disco Dingo [15:14] ah it seems 19.04 has second longest support [15:14] (that's exciting! will give it ago) [15:17] Yes, 19.04 is the latest release. [15:38] exciting! [15:57] hi guys I installed lubuntu 18.10 [15:57] how can I install voice commands? [15:58] Hi Jimmy, I don't know [15:58] Do you know, which packages you need? [15:58] no [15:58] Well, that is the important question [15:59] are there any global voice commands? [15:59] for linux pc? [15:59] in english [16:01] I don't know, but I don't speak with my computers [16:01] why not? [16:01] some people speak with alexa [16:01] @jimmy [ are there any global voice commands?], There are not. [16:02] Cortana, Siri, Alexa send the data to external servers and collect the data for "who knows what" [16:02] oh I see [16:02] ok I will check my version and return back later [18:28] Well, now i'm gutted [18:28] Lubuntu 19.04 is 64bit only :() [18:28] Lubuntu 19.04 is 64bit only :( [18:30] True. 18.10 is the last 32 bit release we had. [18:30] @kc2bez [True. 18.10 is the last 32 bit release we had.], but in that case, better to stay in 18.04 [18:30] which is LTS [18:31] aw :( [18:31] are you sure you can't install 64bit? [18:31] What do you have for a CPU? [19:04] Keep getting this weird error every boot [19:05] "system program problem detected" [20:09] HMollerCl: there's no 32bit installer ISO [20:10] you can install older 32bit and then upgrade to it [20:10] upgrade to newer* [20:25] lubuntu 19.04 is so nice [20:27] thanks jonopoly :) [20:28] Oh you're a lubuntu developer? [20:28] yep [20:28] wxl: I like it because it light and seems very beginner friendly [20:28] basically lets me use a 7+ old laptop :P [20:29] yep but it's extremely functional, too. i think what we do is pretty fantastic :) [20:29] wxl is one of the primary driving forces behind Lubuntu [20:29] so is @tsimonq2 [20:29] and there's a number of other LUbuntu Devs involved [20:29] i don't count (I just keep their specialized infra running xD) [20:29] wow, well i'm loving it so far [20:30] suprising how much nicer 19 is than 18 [20:30] well, and we have plenty of contributors, too, of which teward is one of [20:30] you don't have to write code to help :) [20:30] jonopoly: you mean 18.04, i presume? [20:30] yeah, sorry (lts) [20:30] wxl: so my being a constant thorn in you and SImon's sides then counts as helping? xD [20:31] nah I kid but :P [20:34] jonopoly: yeah well lxqt is much more modern and developed [20:36] yeah, feels very modern [20:36] lxde reminded me of xfce (both felt quite old) [20:38] jonopoly: i think xfce is probably more developed than lxde. it's REALLY BAD with lxde. [20:38] jonopoly: to be fair, i'm concerned about the likes of raspbian (for the raspberry pi) where lxde is a default desktop environment. [20:39] re: XFCE, nevermind. last release was 2015 XD https://xfce.org/ [20:39] wxl: fingers-crossed for raspberry-pi 4 [20:42] it seems like xfce is capable of using gtk3 so that's a good sign for it
