| xubuntu91w | hi everyone. can i install more themes on xubuntu 16.04.04? | 01:43 |
|---|---|---|
| xangua | https://www.xfce-look.org | 01:46 |
| Unit193 | I'd likely go with something in the repos instead. | 01:47 |
| xubuntu91w | xangua and Unit193 thanks | 01:47 |
| Unit193 | Xubuntu 16.04 is sort of EOL though. | 01:48 |
| odranysa | Hello, everyone. Is anyone here alive? I don't know how to install a .tar.xz file, it's bugging me. | 04:28 |
| diogenes_ | odranysa, that's an archive. | 04:30 |
| odranysa | I meant installing a program/application from a compressed .tar.xz file. Is there any file manager that can do it automatically for me? | 04:31 |
| odranysa | I mean, like Synaptic. | 04:32 |
| diogenes_ | odranysa, only in manjaro uses tar.xz as package format (afaik), in ubuntu you only install packages that end in .deb, if you get an archive then most likely it has a source and instructions inside that you have to compile, so first step is to extract the archive and see what you get there. | 04:34 |
| Unit193 | Well, a bunch of things could come in tarballs. Precompiled applications, source (this is very common, Ubuntu uses it) | 04:34 |
| diogenes_ | Unit193, right but you can't install any archive format with gdebi for instance, only .debs | 04:35 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 04:35 |
| Unit193 | That sort of presumes gdebi is the only way to install something, but sure. | 04:36 |
| diogenes_ | i brought gdebi as an example sicne i'm not gonna list all the available installers, they all do the same thing. | 04:37 |
| diogenes_ | since* | 04:37 |
| odranysa | diogenes_ Look, I want to install Sway but it comes in .tar.xz only, the same happened with Toxic and a lot of other programs I want installed. It's frightening me out because the YouTube tutorials I follow don't solve anything. In fact, it's worsening my migration process... | 04:37 |
| Unit193 | !info sway disco | 04:38 |
| ubottu | Package sway does not exist in disco | 04:38 |
| Unit193 | !info sway eoan | 04:38 |
| ubottu | Package sway does not exist in eoan | 04:38 |
| Unit193 | Huh, it's only in Debian experimental? Unfortunate. | 04:38 |
| diogenes_ | odranysa, the first thing is to extract the archive, you gonna get a folder, open the folder and tell me what's in there. | 04:38 |
| odranysa | Okay, I'm going to redownload it. | 04:38 |
| Unit193 | Note: sway requires a newer version of libjson-c than what is in Ubuntu. | 04:40 |
| odranysa | So what do? | 04:40 |
| odranysa | add-apt-repository ppa:samoilov-lex/swayapt updateapt install sway | 04:40 |
| odranysa | add-apt-repository ppa:samoilov-lex/sway - Got a "must be root to execute"Next ones are apt update and apt install sway, which I didn't even type | 04:42 |
| Bashing-om | odranysa: system call - in ubuntu got to "Super-User-Do" i.e. ' sudo add-apt-repository ppa:samoilov-lex/swayapt ; sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo apt install sway ' . :) | 04:48 |
| diogenes_ | and pray for not breaking anything :) ^^ | 04:52 |
| Bashing-om | odranysa: ^^ +1 :D | 04:54 |
| odranysa | Thank you Bashing. | 04:54 |
| odranysa | I'll do it now. | 04:54 |
| technolost | Let's see if I can't "break" Xubuntu as badly as I seem to be able to Winblow$ | 04:55 |
| Bashing-om | !ppa | odranysa | 04:55 |
| ubottu | odranysa: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 04:55 |
| odranysa | Thank you. | 04:56 |
| technolost | Is there any chance a PPA could break the system? | 04:59 |
| odranysa | No se ha podido localizar el paquete sway (Couldn't locate sway pack) | 05:03 |
| odranysa | Big F. | 05:03 |
| Bashing-om | odranysa: Yup , onlu for disci release - see: https://launchpad.net/~samoilov-lex/+archive/ubuntu/sway . | 05:07 |
| Bashing-om | only* | 05:07 |
| Bashing-om | disco* sheesshh L( | 05:07 |
| odranysa1 | So, there's nothing I can do nor do I have the will to do it | 05:08 |
| odranysa1 | BTW, is there any other useful WM as Sway that doesn't require the same amount of time to cry over? | 05:08 |
| odranysa1 | I've been trying to rice Xfce to nearly no avail, not being able to play with the windows whenever needed is bugging me a bit | 05:09 |
| Bashing-om | odranysa1: Well, depends on the need - release upgrade to disco <- Maybe UNgood as that leaves the LTS path. | 05:09 |
| Bashing-om | odranysa1: For developments .. might be a good thought to dual boot. | 05:11 |
| odranysa1 | Alright, Bashing-om, I am going now. See you sometime later, you're awesome. I'm going to have to stick to this channel a bit, I'm still a hard newbie. XOXO | 05:13 |
| friendlyGoat | i dont quite need help as its grown on me but i am confused about something that has happened. i got things fixed and all that on xubuntu which im really glad about but i updated and nothings broken but one things weirdly different. my splash screen when im first booting up is very simple with 4 loading dots and a tiny almost plain text xubuntu logo. and when i shutdown, theres the normal splash screen. what happened there an | 06:04 |
| friendlyGoat | i go about fixing it/generally knowing what happened? | 06:04 |
| friendlyGoat | its grown on me a little bit but part of me still wants it fixed. | 06:05 |
| diogenes_ | friendlyGoat, it has to do with early KMS failing to load. | 06:16 |
| friendlyGoat | ahh, what would i have to do to get KMS to work again? | 06:16 |
| diogenes_ | friendlyGoat, run: cat /etc/default/grub | nc termbin.com 9999 | 06:17 |
| diogenes_ | paste here the link. | 06:18 |
| friendlyGoat | https://termbin.com/8dt9 | 06:20 |
| diogenes_ | everything seems fine there, first thing to try is to run: sudo update-initramfs -u and reboot afterwards, if that doesn't help then re-install plymouth, if that doesn't help then re-instaling the graphics driver. | 06:22 |
| friendlyGoat | alrighty thanks | 06:23 |
| diogenes_ | np | 06:23 |
