[01:30] I just installed xubuntu 19.10 on a new laptop, japanese keyboard. I have ibus/mozc installed, but just cannot input any japanese. Any character I type is just roman. Any idea ? [01:34] bodiccea> did you see this? http://www.localizingjapan.com/blog/2014/05/25/japanese-input-on-ubuntu-linux-14-04-lts-trusty-tahr/ [01:34] it is for 14.04 but i think it can be done the same way in 19.10 [01:44] kadiro: Yes I did. Japanese is installed. I just cannot switch to mozc input (I tried anthy too). Likely something is missing. When I try to switch to mozc/anthy on input applet, it just shows the icon for 1/2 secs, then comes back to hiragana character, but still my input is "romaji" [01:45] now i understand [01:47] bodiccea> i'm trying just to help, i found this interesting link https://askubuntu.com/questions/561486/how-do-i-switch-input-modes-in-mozc-without-going-to-the-ibus-menu === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [02:22] thx kadiro, but I saw this post already. It is more about a shortcut to avoid the mozc/anthy menu. However, I think my issue is somewhere else, as the menu itself does not work. [02:23] bodiccea> I'm sorry to not able to help you but did you try to ask in #ubuntu channel as it has a large support, I'm sure someone can help there [02:37] not yet, but sure, I usually go there :) === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [05:41] gparted works good ! i regularly use it for all disk tasks [05:46] oops! i commented on old thread !😯️ === sorinello1 is now known as sorinello === sorinello1 is now known as sorinello [17:12] hello..

I uninstalled Cheese, since I found webcamoid which is better, but the shortcut in the menu did not go away. If clicked it errors saying it can't find the target. I tried going into menu libre to manually remove it, but upon opening am presented with an error saying that the entry for [22:17] cheese is not visible due to an error, which I have a screenshot of here. https://ibb.co/XYZKNTt So yeah if anyone knows how to remove it from the menu that would be awesome, and also in general how to clean up files from removed packages? [22:17] @tbs what kind of wifi adapter is in your computer? [22:18] i bought th [22:18] xubuntu98w> try to purge it if not just remove its desktop file [22:19] i bought this new, hp laptop 15-db0048 [22:20] tbs: if this system has internet access by other means, please run and post the output of: lspci -knn | grep -EA3 '(Network|Ethernet) controller' | nc termbin.com 9999 [22:20] tbs> if you type in the terminal: iwconfic , can you see your wifi device? [22:21] paste "lspci | grep -i wireless" into your terminal and post output [22:22] i had the same issue with my laptop, unfortunately my wifi adapter is not natively supported, but the good news was that there was a community created driver on github that works perfectly. [22:23] tomreynhttps://termbin.com/94w7 [22:23] tomreyn https://termbin.com/94w7 [22:24] kadiro is it maybe ifconfig? cuz it cant find ur command [22:24] xubuntu98w i pasted it and enter but nothing happened [22:25] tbs> iwconfig is for wifi, but ifconfic can also show it [22:25] kadiro ahh u wrote iwconfic :) [22:26] RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter [10ec:d723] [22:26] oops my bad [22:26] tbs: which ubuntu version is this? lsb_release -ds [22:26] kadiroit also cant find ifconfic [22:27] tomreyn 19.10 latest i guess [22:27] it is midnight hear i do mistakes :D [22:27] tomreyn xubuntu [22:28] what can i do with this? RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter [10ec:d723] [22:29] @kadiro i looked in /usr/share/applications but there is no desktop file for cheese, as it was removed. apt-get purge cheese didnt work either because its already gone. i dont get how it's still showing up in the menu though. [22:29] xubuntu98w> can you see it in ~/.local/share/applications/ [22:29] tbs: this is your wireless chipset. you can search the web for it combined with your ubuntu version or kernel version (cat /proc/version) to look for instruction son how to get it working [22:29] xubuntu98wthere s cache things files too [22:30] ctrl h at ur home folder i guess and try to find folders about that app which s hidden xubuntu98w [22:30] tbs: you'll either be missing newer firmwares or may need to use a PPA (or git repository) providing drivers for this device. [22:32] tbs: looks like git http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2019/04/nstall-rtl8723de-wifi-driver-ubuntu-19-04/ [22:33] @kadiro wow its the only thing in that folder, good snipe https://ibb.co/H29YxHw so just delete it and that should fix it? [22:34] xubuntu98w> it should yes [22:34] tbs: make sure your system is fully updated before you do this: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove [22:36] @kadiro it worked, awesome, thankyou. i wonder why programs do that sometimes, not uninstall cleanly.. [22:36] xubuntu98w> you're welcome, yeah it is sometimes weird
