[00:00] now would be the time to contribute [00:01] 4.14 release is in few months [00:04] i reported some bugs back in 2014, a few got fixed and want to report some more [00:08] first router is messing up then firefox :D [00:13] happy that i initiated getting this fixed - https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10864 [00:13] bugzilla.xfce.org bug 10864 in Core "thunar incorrectly showing file sizes" [Critical,Resolved: fixed] [00:19] brainwash, Unit193: thanks for the help === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash === finstern1s is now known as finsternis [06:26] is xubuntu still one of the lighest ubuntu flavours? [06:26] like compared to ubuntu-mate and lubuntu ? [06:33] Jonopoly, yes. [06:39] I'm using ubuntu-mate now because its quite light and my laptop is old [06:39] but from what i've seen on /r/unixporn xfce seems to be one of the most popular [06:39] good. [06:39] for light and customistation [06:40] Jonopoly: Xubuntu's focus isn't to be lightweight, but it tends to be less needy than KDE or GNOME at least. [06:41] yeah, from what i remember Im sure it's pretty light out of the box [06:41] but is very customisable [06:42] indeed. user-friendly too. [06:44] oh is it? [06:45] knome: well that's a plus - because i plan on installing it on my parents laptop and finally remove windows 7..... [06:45] well, at least from my opinion. and from my experience compared to some of the other even lighter alternatives [06:46] Well i just want an 'offical flavour' and user-friendly | light | customisable [06:53] I like Sherbet as my official flavor === bbb_ is now known as Guest95161 [12:37] Hello, I have come here for assistance if you can afford to help me. I'm running Xubuntu 19.04, when I edit my connection preferences for my ethernet adapter "Automatically Connect to VPN" - - it works but it stops auto-connecting my ethernet at startup. I have to manually start it through the network panel. [12:38] Then it works as expected, auto connects to the VPN with the adapter. But it's annoying having to manually activate it on start, and means I also have to manually map my network drive since it can't find it. [12:42] Trying this with startup, will brb. nmcli con up uuid [12:47] it's me again, well it works, but you have to put the UUID for the ethernet adapter, not the VPN [12:47] this makes sense. [12:47] thanks, I will be on my way now. have a good weekend. [16:05] I am new to Xubuntu and am having a problem updating. I get a message that says "The package system is broken". The problem is related to plymouth. I have tried the fixes in the dialog box and searched on line without success. I could sure use some help. [16:06] jwvh: did you have a power outage while updating? [16:06] that kinda stuff doesn't usually "just happen" [16:06] jwvh: do you have any clue, what might have caused it? [16:06] That is a possibility. [16:07] No idea. Everything seemed fine. I don't think I did anything unusual. [16:07] what you can try is, opening a terminal emulator, and typing, 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f' [16:07] I will do that now. Thanks for the clue! [16:08] if that doesn't fix it, please do post the output of those commands on pastebin.com [16:09] I continue to get the error with Plymouth. I have seen others post output but I don't know how to do it. [16:11] jwvh: start a terminal, do "sudo apt update && sudo apt-get --fix-broken install" - that may help [16:11] jwvh: just copy the output to pastebin.com, and submit it, and paste the link pastebin.com gives you back here [16:19] https://pastebin.com/fcUusyyw [16:19] Is this right? [16:21] jwvh: that is superstrange [16:22] Leave it to me. [16:22] jwvh: have you added any external repositories [16:22] I do but I think I eliminated them all. [16:22] you added a repository that included plymouth? [16:23] it does look like one of those packages isn't from the archive [16:23] jwvh: do you recall which repository your broken plymouth package came from? [16:24] libplymouth2 is not from 18.04, that'll be 16.04 I think [16:24] I don't know. One repository that I added had to do with miktex. I have also installed Anaconda. [16:24] anaconda? [16:24] on xubuntu? [16:24] ahh, before 16.04 even, so very old [16:24] * pmjdebruijn is heavily confused [16:25] anaconda = scientific python [16:25] oooooh [16:25] I thought the redhat installer :) [16:25] jwvh: could you do a apt-cache show plymouth2 and pastebin that [16:26] Sure. Hey, thanks for all of your help! [16:27] libplymouth2 latest in Ubuntu was 2013, plymouth_0.9.3-1ubuntu7.18.04.2 [16:27] well darn, that wasn't what I just put in the clipboard! [16:27] libplymouth2_0.8.8-0ubuntu8_arm64.deb -that is better [16:27] jwvh: did you attempt a major version upgrade recently? [16:27] maybe skipping a few versions? [16:28] Ran your command and found "Unable to locate package plymouth2" [16:28] sorry [16:28] New and only install about 3 months ago on new box. [16:28] apt-cache show libplymouth2 [16:29] jwvh: that sound near impossible [16:29] i'm not calling you a liar btw :) [16:29] but something very strange is going on [16:30] * pmjdebruijn is very curious to the apt-cache output [16:31] Sorry this is such a pain. The new link is https://pastebin.com/LzBYk2xT [16:31] that's package from ubuntu 14.04 [16:32] most likely [16:32] jwvh: you installed using a standard xubuntu-18.04 iso from the xubuntu website? [16:32] the big question is now whether we can remove the package [16:33] you can try 'sudo apt-get purge libplymouth2' [16:33] but that might not work [16:33] and maybe don't force it to proceeed yet [16:33] if it complains, please pastebin the output [16:34] Yes, online install from xbuntu site. FYI, I just saw your earlier comment. I am completely new to this and am not offended. Happy for your help. [16:34] can your try the purge command [16:34] but don't let it proceed if it complains just yet [16:34] if it runs automatically then it'll be fine (probably) [16:35] jwvh: btw, before you do anything, it might be wise to backup any import data you have onto an usb drive or something [16:35] while any command will not likely cause data loss [16:35] we are messing with the boot process [16:35] so if things go badly, you may end up with boot problems [16:35] It complained. I am not so deep into the install that it would be terrible to install again. [16:36] what's the output exactly [16:36] please post on pastebin again [16:36] Will do [16:37] https://pastebin.com/aWpCSAcP [16:38] hmmmr [16:38] jwvh: can you post 'grep -v '^#' /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*' on pastebin too [16:38] the clue in the apt-cache output shows its from a PPA: "Replaces: plymouth (<< 0.7.0+git20090207-0ubuntu0.1~ppa4)" [16:39] Will try now [16:39] TJ-: i'm not sure actually, if you google that string, you find a launchpad page that it may very well have been from 14.04 proper [16:39] TJ-: preplaces just means the packages account for ANOTHER version from a PPA [16:40] although it's uncommon to see this in mainline [16:41] pmjdebruijn: ahh yes, it may be a hold-over from the plymouth-devs PPA [16:41] right [16:41] something like that [16:41] I see that version in their PPA still [16:41] lol [16:41] https://launchpad.net/~plymouth-dev/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [16:41] right [16:42] miktex is my Latex app. vscode installed with Anaconda https://pastebin.com/2hf9sHN9 [16:42] presumably libplymouth2 graduated to the archive from there [16:43] jwvh: that doesn't seem too strange [16:43] just curious why install miktex, ubuntu has texlive in the mainline repos FYI [16:44] In retrospect I regret miktex. Worked with it before so seemed natural. [16:44] fair enough [16:44] not that there's anything particularly wrong with miktex [16:44] I'd just avoid adding repos whenever reasonably possible [16:44] Happy to remove it an d learn texlive. [16:45] I don't see the anaconda repo [16:45] Lesson learened. :) [16:45] do you still have a reference to it [16:45] jwvh: I doubt miktex caused your particular issue though [16:47] repo.anaconda.com [16:47] can you try 'apt-cache rdepends libplymouth2' [16:48] Reverse Depends: That's it. [16:49] hmmmr [16:50] it looks like the system has partial lists, explains the 18.04.1 vs 18.04.2 [16:50] jwvh: can you try 'sudo find /var/cache/apt -iname libplymouth2*deb' [16:50] TJ-: but that doesn't explain our root problem here :) [16:50] Will do. [16:51] to be honest, you best recourse is probably reinstall, as that gives you a determistic result, in a determistic amount of time [16:51] the reason i'm asking things, is to figure out why [16:51] so you know what went wrong [16:51] it does - I've seen this several times in #ubuntu where the package lists are inconsistent, e.g. bionic-updates has been removed sources.list [16:51] and thus may more easily avoid it in the future [16:52] TJ-: how does that explain a 14.04 package being on there [16:52] having a missing repo, may explain why you don't have certain things, not that you suddenly have extra things :) [16:52] jwvh: does 'sudo apt-get update' run without issue? [16:53] pmjdebruijn: I'm not on about that, I'm on about the others like plymouth-label [16:53] oh [16:54] I ran your earlier command and just got a prompt back. the apt-get command gives the same problem. [16:54] so find gives no output [16:54] Correct [16:54] jwvh: sudo apt-get update also complains about consistency? [16:55] Yes. I can run and paste for you. Also, I don't want to waste your time. Can fresh install. [16:55] As in "plymouth-label : Depends: plymouth (= 0.9.3-1ubuntu7.18.04.2) but 0.9.3-1ubuntu7.18.04.1 is to be installed" means that the current bionic-updates lists are from before 18.04.2 was released so trying to grab 18.04.1 which has long gone [16:56] I'd rm the lists and re-fetch them [16:57] update commend: https://pastebin.com/uMGAmtPz [17:01] TJ: If that was directed at me, I don't know how to do what you have suggested. [17:01] jwvh: it's not the error, that tell you have miktex repo is unsuitable for your system [17:01] damn engrish [17:02] I see. I didn't understand. [17:03] the update error tells you the miktex repository is not really suitable for your system [17:04] Okay thanks. Do you have a recommendation as to what I should do? [17:05] not really to be honest [17:05] Thanks for the honesty. I really appreciate all of your time and your help. Like I said I only have a few things installed. I can start again. [17:13] jwvh: if you want to try brute-force removal: "sudo dpkg -r libplymouth2" followed by "sudo apt update; sudo apt --fix-broken" [17:15] ah right [17:15] damn he left [17:15] never mind... amazes me how folks manage to break things so well [17:16] same here [17:16] at least that guy was super cooperative :) [17:16] if everybody asking for help was that friendly [17:17] generally in #ubuntu I don't seem many not being friendly; some get annoyed with frustration of course but I find if the context is explained to them they appreciate the complexity of diagnosing and solving [17:18] I find pastebinit is a life-saver in diagnosing issues rapidly [17:19] blah | pastebinit ? [17:19] tee for the cloud ! [17:19] nah, "pastebinit <( cmd1; cmd2; cmd3; cmd4; cmd5; )" [17:19] can collect everything needed in one pass [18:01] hi i have virtualbox to download windows 10 but am having trouble [18:03] the results:uld not get the storage format of the medium '/home/hey/Desktop/Win10_1803_English_x32.iso' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).

[18:21] i've heard vmware has an improved 3d acceleration performance but i haven't tried it myself. [18:22] i also have a usb is there a better way i want 7 but it ask for windows key [18:22] xubuntu43w, if you download the windows 10 iso directly from microsoft website, it should be working fine. [18:23] i dont know why it not [18:25] imma try it with the 32 bit [18:30] it says someting about 50% of my storage being used what should i do [18:31] xubuntu43w, what says? when says? details... [18:33] more tha 50% storage is used n1.56 is used by the vb machine there might not be much memory left for host comptor [18:33] 1.56 Gb [18:37] any ideas [18:37] yep you've got not that much ram apparently, but what is that program you trying to run, doesn't it work under wine? playonlinux? have you tried? [18:38] nope my first linux laptop [18:39] have you downloaded yourprogram.exe? [18:39] nope havent tried that either [18:39] dont know how [18:40] ok wait [18:42] xubuntu43w, yep there are chances you could run it with wine, have you downloaded yandere simulator in your pc already? [18:44] no idk how to run it on wine i can re download it [18:44] xubuntu43w, ok wait let me try it first and if it runs for me then it should run for you too. [18:52] xubuntu43w, nah that's crazy, i tried to download it but it doesn't show the file size and i've got a limited bandwidth here so i stopped it at 170 MB, but you can download it and we can try how it runs on your end. [18:52] here is the link: https://dl.yanderesimulator.com/latest.zip [18:52] how do i download wine [18:53] first download that package then in terminal (if you want to use terminal) run: sudo apt install wine [18:54] if you don't wanna use terminal just tell me and i will provide you with a graphical way of installing it. [18:54] using terminal [18:54] great. [18:55] it says wine has no installation canidate [18:57] What does the command "lsb_release -a" output? [18:57] probably you should first run: sudo apt update [18:58] then: sudo apt upgrade [18:58] then reboot and only after all that you run: sudo apt install wine [18:59] reboot my whole computer ( no linux smart) [18:59] xubuntu43w, you will have to reboot it only if you see a kernel upgrade. [18:59] which will most likely happen. [19:01] oh [19:02] upgrading now [19:05] what is kernal mupgrade [19:06] In a technical sense, the kernel is Linux. If you see Linux on the list of programs to be upgraded, that means you have a kernel upgrade. [19:07] oh [19:11] taking long time sorry [19:14] hello [19:15] I done a big silly [19:16] b@bbb:/usr/bin$ ldd qbittorrent ./qbittorrent: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5DBus.so.5: version `Qt_5' not found (required by ./qbittorrent) [19:16] I copied a lib from something else to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu [19:16] tried purging/removing qt5-default and reinstalling [19:17] now I get qbittorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [19:17] is this just an expensive lesson? [19:20] qwebirc68086, do you have libpng12 installed? [19:20] @diogenes_: no, I was trying to install it for another program (packet tracer). so I did (as advised somewhere else, lol): #cp /opt/pt/lib/libQt5* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu [19:20] pretty sure that's what broke it [19:20] now it just demands libpng12 for qbittorrent [19:21] can't even install libpng12 for some reason, tried the deb [19:21] and old repo [19:22] qwebirc68086, welcome to dependency hell. [19:22] diogenes_ am I screwed? I don't mind Packet tracer, can just use wine, but qb would warrant a reinstall [19:24] qwebirc68086, but can you do a: apt update apt upgrade with no errors? [19:25] diogenes_ 0 errors [19:26] then it's not that hopeless, try: apt autoremove [19:26] sudo apt install -f [19:29] did that, no erorrs, same problem [19:30] https://pastebin.com/pnk3vX14 [19:30] so what error you get when installing libpng12?

[19:43] reinstall means losing everything though right? [19:43] no worries but thanks [19:44] I dug this grave myself [19:44] no problem.
