[01:43] <xubuntu91w> hi everyone.  can i install more themes on xubuntu 16.04.04?
[01:46] <xangua> https://www.xfce-look.org
[01:47] <Unit193> I'd likely go with something in the repos instead.
[01:47] <xubuntu91w> xangua and Unit193 thanks
[01:48] <Unit193> Xubuntu 16.04 is sort of EOL though.
[04:28] <odranysa> Hello, everyone. Is anyone here alive? I don't know how to install a .tar.xz file, it's bugging me.
[04:30] <diogenes_> odranysa, that's an archive.
[04:31] <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?
[04:32] <odranysa> I mean, like Synaptic.
[04:34] <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)
[04:35] <diogenes_> Unit193, right but you can't install any archive format with gdebi for instance, only .debs
[04:35] <Unit193> Sure.
[04:36] <Unit193> That sort of presumes gdebi is the only way to install something, but sure.
[04:37] <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...
[04:38] <Unit193> !info sway disco
[04:38] <Unit193> !info sway 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.
[04:40] <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
[04:42] <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
[04:48] <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 ' . :)
[04:52] <diogenes_> and pray for not breaking anything :) ^^
[04:54] <Bashing-om> odranysa: ^^ +1 :D
[04:54] <odranysa> Thank you Bashing.
[04:54] <odranysa> I'll do it now.
[04:55] <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
[04:56] <odranysa> Thank you.
[04:59] <technolost> Is there any chance a PPA could break the system?
[05:03] <odranysa> No se ha podido localizar el paquete sway (Couldn't locate sway pack)
[05:03] <odranysa> Big F.
[05:07] <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(
[05:08] <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?
[05:09] <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.
[05:11] <Bashing-om> odranysa1: For developments .. might be a good thought to dual boot.
[05:13] <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
[06:04] <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?
[06:05] <friendlyGoat> its grown on me a little bit but part of me still wants it fixed.
[06:16] <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?
[06:17] <diogenes_> friendlyGoat, run: cat /etc/default/grub | nc termbin.com 9999
[06:18] <diogenes_> paste here the link.
[06:20] <friendlyGoat> https://termbin.com/8dt9
[06:22] <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.
[06:23] <friendlyGoat> alrighty thanks
[06:23] <diogenes_> np
