[01:30] <bodiccea> 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] <kadiro> 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] <kadiro> it is for 14.04 but i think it can be done the same way in 19.10
[01:44] <bodiccea> 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] <kadiro> now i understand
[01:47] <kadiro> 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
[02:22] <bodiccea> 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] <kadiro> 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] <bodiccea> not yet, but sure, I usually go there :)

[22:14] <tbs> hello, my wifi doesnt work:)
[22:17] <xubuntu98w> How do I remove an uninstalled program from whisker menu? 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] <xubuntu98w> 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] <xubuntu98w> @tbs what kind of wifi adapter is in your computer?
[22:18] <tbs> i bought th
[22:18] <kadiro> xubuntu98w> try to purge it if not just remove its desktop file
[22:19] <tbs> i bought this new, hp laptop 15-db0048
[22:20] <tomreyn> 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] <kadiro> tbs> if you type in the terminal: iwconfic , can you see your wifi device?
[22:21] <xubuntu98w> paste "lspci | grep -i wireless" into your terminal and post output
[22:22] <xubuntu98w> 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] <tbs> tomreyn https://termbin.com/94w7

[22:26] <tomreyn> RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter [10ec:d723]
[22:26] <kadiro> oops my bad
[22:26] <tomreyn> tbs: which ubuntu version is this?  lsb_release -ds
[22:26] <tbs> kadiroit also cant find ifconfic
[22:27] <tbs> tomreyn 19.10 latest i guess

[22:27] <tbs> tomreyn xubuntu
[22:28] <tbs> what can i do with this? RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter [10ec:d723]
[22:29] <xubuntu98w> @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] <kadiro> xubuntu98w> can you see it in ~/.local/share/applications/
[22:29] <tomreyn> 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] <tbs> xubuntu98wthere s cache things files too
[22:30] <tbs> ctrl h at ur home folder i guess and try to find folders about that app which s hidden xubuntu98w
[22:30] <tomreyn> 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] <tomreyn> tbs: looks like git http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2019/04/nstall-rtl8723de-wifi-driver-ubuntu-19-04/
[22:33] <xubuntu98w> @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] <kadiro> xubuntu98w> it should yes
[22:34] <tomreyn> tbs: make sure your system is fully updated before you do this:   sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove
[22:36] <xubuntu98w> @kadiro it worked, awesome, thankyou. i wonder why programs do that sometimes, not uninstall cleanly..
[22:36] <kadiro> xubuntu98w> you're welcome, yeah it is sometimes weird
