Lubuntu 19.10 beta (downloaded today) and VirtualBox 5 (as in Lubuntu 18.04): has someone managed to install the 19.10 beta into a virtual machine? [09:54] In my experiments, the installation has now crashed twice and the virtual machine has just "aborted". [09:54] 4096 MB memory, 4 cores, 40 GB disk. [09:55] !ubuntu+1 [09:55] Eoan Ermine is the codename for Ubuntu 19.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [09:56] i wouldn't recommend using virtualbox as packaged in ubuntu, though, better use kvm-qemu or upstreams' virtualbox packages. [09:56] there are numerous bugs in 5.x [10:06] Ok, so it seems. On Windows, virtualbox 6.0, the installation went through pretty much fine. Now I'm installing Vbox 6.0 to Linux and testing there. === grupo1 is now known as dtro_z [17:59] snap installs dont work, how come? [18:00] unless you've installed snapd you can't run snaps [18:00] I don't think Lubuntu ships `snapd` by default [18:00] app gets installed but wont run [18:00] and you've tried to run it? [18:00] wont run [18:00] this output: [18:00] /snap/jdownloader/7/wrapper: 3: /snap/jdownloader/7/wrapper: /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/java: not found [18:02] 2019/10/07 20:01:34.539984 cmd_linux.go:85: cannot open snapd info file "/snap/core/current/usr/lib/snapd/info": open /snap/core/current/usr/lib/snapd/info: permission denied [18:03] (now - after installing snapd - i get the second one) [18:03] snapd = snappy-debug ? [18:03] no [18:03] snapd is the thing that runs snaps [18:04] you weren't precise with your issue earlier [18:04] > /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/java: not found < that's your issue with your jdownloader snap [18:04] it needs Java available/installed and you don't have it installed [18:04] because i installed snappy-debug but then it said snapd was installed [18:04] you don't need snappy-debug. [18:04] but you DO need Java installed [18:04] which you don't seem to have installed based on that error [18:05] so what is everything i must do now? [18:06] now i only get the second one: 2019/10/07 20:01:34.539984 cmd_linux.go:85: cannot open snapd info file "/snap/core/current/usr/lib/snapd/info": open /snap/core/current/usr/lib/snapd/info: permission denied [18:06] but i didnt install java [18:06] what does this mean? [18:07] is the java package called "java" [18:08] ? [18:09] so if i understood correctly i must first install java and then snapd, right? [18:10] you already have snapd installed [18:10] you need Java [18:11] i think snaps should be made easier, they should work right away, i tried 4 or 5 and none worked right away... [18:11] not all snaps are made the same [18:11] nor does Lubuntu or Ubuntu have any control over them directly 😜 [18:11] you can attempt to install default-jre to see if that works [18:11] but it might not with that version of JDownloader in the snap [18:12] it might not? [18:12] so how to do it? [18:12] very hard to explain to a non-developer - but under the hood it may use Java things that're too old or too new depending on what's installed. [18:13] try and install default-jre and see if it works [18:13] if it still doesn't work/run then you'll have to contact the developers of that snap itself and get assistance from them [18:13] because it could be a problem with the snap itself [18:13] what about that wrapper thing, what does that mean? [18:14] that's the program that is inside the snap being run. Its error was actually stating this: /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/java: not found [18:14] which is why I said you don't have Java installed/available [18:15] ok i'll try with default-jre [18:15] thanks [18:16] should i uninstall snappy-debug? [18:16] yes [18:17] what's the command to remove snap? [18:17] `sudo apt remove snappy-debug` [18:17] you don't need to remove snapd or the JDownloader snap necessarily though [18:19] when you install snaps from the software center there's that permissions button... nothing needs to be done there? [18:20] i havent touched it [18:20] no i dont think you need to change it [18:21] ok thanks [18:21] those two options should be fine there by default https://i.imgur.com/o8sDwzp.png [18:21] ok [18:22] but indeed this is not so useful: [18:22] x@x:~$ /snap/bin/jdownloader [18:22] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [18:22] i dont understand [18:22] im beginner [18:23] it crashed on a default ubuntu installation [18:23] i tried many snaps and none work [18:23] then i suggest you draw your own conclusions from that [18:23] snap sucks :) [18:24] or those snaps are built for newer OSes or other libraries and software that are not available for your system. Or those specific snaps are just poor. [18:24] ... or Lubuntu and Snaps just don't get along [18:24] which is @tsimonq2's viewpoint on the subject [18:24] life was easier before (snaps) [18:25] also i dont understand why some software is only available as snaps [18:25] some has both options, but some only snaps [18:26] we need lubuntu to be easy if we want it to conquer the world :) [18:26] this stuff is too complicated for most people [18:27] including me [18:27] :) [18:28] we just need it to press the button and work right away, like everything was before [18:29] snaps supposedly are made for simplicity for the developer. \me don't like snaps so can't help, consumes to much resources. [18:31] ok im going, thanks all
