| The_LoudSpeaker | [05:42 pm] <76b3The_LoudSpeakerQuery: How do I install steam on eoan? I tried apt install steam-installer but it says unmet dependencies, depends on steam but it is not installable. | 12:15 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | Should have asked here only. Trying in lubuntu. | 12:15 |
| guiverc2 | The_LoudSpeaker, I gather from #ubuntu you had a prior question answered; you could always search irc logs for that conversation (just a thought; I've done it before..) | 12:23 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | That was more than a month ago. I don't remember the date. Plus considering the no of users and daily queries on that channel. It wouldn't be easy. | 12:24 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | But I will give it a try in an hour or so. If someone answers before that then it's good. | 12:25 |
| guiverc2 | I've found my conversations before by searching my username; I'd hope yours is unique enough to work too... I don't know anything about steam so can't help sorry | 12:25 |
| tMH | guiverc2 - hiya. I've installed lubuntu 16.40 and discovered, that _no_ browsers are about to run on my system.. honestly, I don't need much GUI and browing on that machine - it's a filehoster, but I just wonder - why ? old xubuntu 12.* was able to run freshly updated firefox, srware iron (chrome fork) etc... | 12:26 |
| guiverc2 | Lubuntu 16.04 LTS had 3 years of support; it ended 2019-April and is no longer supported by the Lubuntut team. I'd recommend Lubuntu 18.04 LTS; or using Ubuntu 16.04 Server for hosting/file-serving functions | 12:28 |
| guiverc2 | tMH, ^ | 12:28 |
| lubot | <The_LoudSpeaker> tMH: Firefox doesn't run? Also, End of Support. | 12:28 |
| tMH | guiverc2 - so - no chance to run gui browsers at all ?:/ | 12:28 |
| guiverc2 | gui browsers may work; but given the GUI is EOL; it's not wise. It's also off-topic (16.04) due to EOL | 12:29 |
| guiverc2 | packages found in 'main' still have support for 16.04, packages found in 'universe' (or community supported) are EOL | 12:30 |
| lubot | <The_LoudSpeaker> Firefox is in main only right? | 12:30 |
| tMH | sad to hear... | 12:32 |
| guiverc2 | yes Firefox for 16.04 is in main/security so is okay, but the rest of Lubuntu desktop is from 'universe' | 12:32 |
| guiverc2 | Kylin & Unity 7 (ubuntu-desktop) still have support in 16.04 | 12:32 |
| lubot | <The_LoudSpeaker> Ouch. | 12:32 |
| lubot | <The_LoudSpeaker> tMH: I suggest you should upgrade to 18.04 atleast to get proper support and working software. | 12:33 |
| guiverc2 | tMH, You may still get responses in Ubuntu Forums; I'm trying to follow on-topic details (where 16.04 Lubuntu is off-topic due to being EOL) | 12:34 |
| guiverc2 | (I mention Ubuntu forums primarily as its the least worried about rules/EOL in my experience...) | 12:34 |
| tMH | guiverc2 - you know, I'v tried to upgrade xbununtu to 18.04 and met nvidia drivers problem... this is the reason why I stopped on 16.04 ... | 12:50 |
| tMH | xubuntu even | 12:50 |
| guiverc2 | tMH, others may help, we all follow the rules as we see them, and as Lubuntu see's 16.04 as EOL, it's off-topic here, and I'll abide by that sorry. Modern browsers require certain CPU flags; I suspect your 12.04 had really old browser (thus didn't require the flags), and I have boxes here that won't use modern chromium/firefox; ie. it's not the Lubuntu, but the browser that is rejecting your cpu as non-compliant.. but it's an educated guess) | 12:56 |
| guiverc2 | I'll power up an old nokia here, it's so old it won't use modern browsers... and see if I can gain info on what I remember... | 12:57 |

| guiverc2 | tMH, my old nokia box runs firefox 31.8 fine, but had issues with SSE2 & other flags not being present; https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/62.0/system-requirements/ shows SSE2 is required, but I don't know which release of firefox introduced that requirement (thus P4 or newer & not some celeron & newer by more limited cpus) | 13:18 |

| lubot | <teward001> I thought Steam only provided Steam for LTSes? | 15:07 |
| lubot | <teward001> o.O | 15:07 |
| lubot | <teward001> @The_LoudSpeaker you *do* have Multiverse repos enabled yes? | 15:08 |
| lubot | <teward001> and you did an `apt update` (i'm assuming) | 15:08 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | I had run steam on 19.04. so it's definitely not only for LTSes | 15:09 |
| kc2bez | Steam has their own repos, you might need them too. Did you try installing from the deb on the Steam website? | 15:09 |
| kc2bez | It should add them for you. | 15:09 |
| lubot | <teward001> ... just for kicks, what happens if you try and do `sudo apt install steam`, I'm wondering what deps its brekaing on. But yes you should also install using the .deb from the Steam site | 15:10 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | Umm. I am behind sophos so can't access the website. | 15:10 |
| lubot | <teward001> then even if you DID manage to install it, you wouldn't be able to use it | 15:10 |
| lubot | <teward001> because it needs to access Steam's sites too ;) | 15:10 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | Apt install steam says it's it has no installation candidate. | 15:11 |
| lubot | <teward001> then your repos are out of date, 'cause `steam` is in the repos... it's an i386 package mind you but... | 15:11 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | Actually there's a catch. If I just connect and start a csgo game using mobile data then shift to lan. It still runs. | 15:11 |
| lubot | <teward001> CS:GO has different internals it reaches out to than Steam ;) | 15:12 |
| lubot | <teward001> i think you're missing my point - Steam *itself* needs to access Steam's site and resources, if *that* is blocked even if you install it it won't work | 15:12 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | I will connect to my own vpn after dinner later and try the deb from steam's site? | 15:13 |

| exit70 | can lxqt power mgmt show time to empty? i find myself running upower command from time to time. | 23:26 |
| guiverc | exit70, https://manual.lubuntu.me/3/3.2/3.2.12/power_management.html is the manual page on it; I rarely use laptops so have no idea; but I'd suspect it'd be an annoying figure (constantly changing as you vary what you do, unless they smooth out the jumps & make it inaccurate..) | 23:30 |
| exit70 | this is exactly what i see :) | 23:31 |
