| xubuntu61w | Anyone aware of launchers not working when trying to execute shell script | 13:58 |
|---|---|---|
| diogenes_ | xubuntu61w, what is the Exec=? | 13:59 |
| xubuntu61w | Tried mate-terminal -- scriptname also /bin/bash scriptname | 14:00 |
| xubuntu61w | When using mate-terminal get G_DBUS errors | 14:02 |
| rud0lf | `xfce4-terminal -e /path/to/script` maybe? | 14:02 |
| xubuntu61w | Does xfce4-terminal require a sudo apt install ? | 14:04 |
| rud0lf | not on default xubuntu which is xfce4 | 14:08 |
| xubuntu61w | I am using Lubuntu now. Am going to try xubuntu... | 14:09 |
| rud0lf | ah | 14:09 |
| xubuntu61w | Apparently it has something to do with GUI tie in. | 14:11 |
| rud0lf | maybe `lxterminal -e /path/to/script.sh` | 14:12 |
| rud0lf | but `Exec=bash script.sh` should work with no problem | 14:12 |
| xubuntu61w | Problem is ansi screen control codes get lost. And that | 14:16 |
| xubuntu61w | screws up applications that use for example cursor position | 14:17 |
| xubuntu61w | As we speak Xubuntu is installing on a VM to try.. | 14:20 |
| xubuntu61w | By default Lubuntu has something called qterminal | 14:23 |
| xubuntu61w | I have these old languages Cobol, Focal, Bybasic and Fortran. | 14:28 |
| xubuntu61w | Xbuntu is now adding VM guest additions. | 14:31 |
| jonzen | any1 have any idea how to install chromium on 19.10 without snap cant stand snap was nothing wrong with the old way | 14:32 |
| jonzen | ive tried to find a deb file but cant get any of them to install | 14:32 |
| jonzen | xubuntu since 2011 now i guess ill have to replace it like the old gnome when they made it all funky | 14:35 |
| xubuntu61w | I have in some cases seen the newer versions of the OS breaks things. | 14:37 |
| xubuntu61w | Like between Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 | 14:37 |
| xubuntu61w | Like Debian 10 doing any development work is a real pain | 14:39 |
| xubuntu61w | Missing libraries and applications. Not straight forward like Ubuntu & Mint | 14:40 |
| xubuntu61w | I like Vim I have it under Linux and Windows... | 14:42 |
| xubuntu61w | It's nice to have concisity on different platforms. | 14:43 |
| brainwash | can we focus on your problem with xubuntu (if there is any)? | 14:43 |
| xubuntu61w | I have not forgotten. It's loading the aps now. | 14:55 |
| xubuntu61w | It's loading the developers aps now | 15:11 |
| xubuntu61w | OK this Exec=/home/ken/bin/cal.sh works on Xbuntu but not Lbuntu ?? | 15:19 |
| xubuntu61w | I don't understand why one and not the other? Both based on Ubuntu. | 15:26 |
| brainwash | you would have to ask in the lubuntu channel | 15:28 |
| brainwash | it works in xubuntu, so there is not much we can help you with | 15:29 |
| xubuntu61w | On Lubuntu I need Exec=mate-terminal -- /home/ken/bin/cal.sh | 15:37 |
| xubuntu61w | and that's where I get gofey results. | 15:37 |
| xubuntu61w | Actually doing guest adins on both requires: | 15:42 |
| xubuntu61w | If guest additions do not start automatically. Do the following assuming the folder did show up.References to {username} mean user you loged in with.Start a terminal session (right click on desktop and select open terminal) thencd /media/{username}ls -l to see version.cd /media/{username}/VBox_GAs_6.1.0 (Or version displayed with ls)sudo | 15:42 |
| xubuntu61w | ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.runEnter password for {username} when requestedIt should proceed compiling and wait for the press enter prompt. Takes some time...Reboot using shutdown -r 0# 0 means immediate rebootLog in and open terminal sessionthensudo adduser {username} vboxsfexit | 15:42 |
| xubuntu61w | bye | 15:43 |
| someone235 | Hi, for a weird reason I can't pick the option "span monitors" in my panel preferences. Someone knows what could cause it? | 16:52 |
| Robert54 | What is the most appropriate way to run a 32-bit application on a 64-bit Xubuntu? | 17:02 |
| tomreyn | Robert54: use a xubuntu release which still supports it, install any i386 libraries it dpeends on, run it. | 17:27 |
| Robert54 | does "Xubuntu 19.10 amd64" support running i386 applications? | 17:29 |
| tomreyn | some. https://ubuntu.com/blog/statement-on-32-bit-i386-packages-for-ubuntu-19-10-and-20-04-lts | 17:29 |
| tomreyn | xubuntu builds on the same foundations as ubuntu, this means it can only provide i386 libraries available on default ubuntu (for the same release). | 17:30 |
| tomreyn | this blog post may require putting into context - originally the plan was to drop i386 support entirely starting 19.10. | 17:32 |
| Robert54 | I've heard that | 17:32 |
| tomreyn | related: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2019-September/001265.html | 17:36 |
| Robert54 | I'm trying to run FreeArc, and I've tried to install i386 libraries it depends on. Here is the output: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sNjfFNYB2g/ | 17:36 |
| Robert54 | "apt-file -a i386 search libgmp.so.3" doesn't find any package :( | 17:37 |
| tomreyn | libgmp is not mentioned on the package list the above mailing list post links to | 17:38 |
| tomreyn | you can still install an older (x)ubuntu release in chroot / container or VM and use the software there. | 17:39 |
| Robert54 | Is that the easiest way to solve it? or, perhaps, there are some other possible ways...? | 17:39 |
| Robert54 | I've thought of running any Windows in VM and running FreeArc there... but using VMs is not convenient | 17:40 |
| tomreyn | https://sourceforge.net/projects/freearc/ states "Last Update: 2013-04-03", and the latest release seems to be https://sourceforge.net/projects/freearc/files/FreeArc/FreeArc%200.51/ from 2009. you should translate this as "do not use". | 17:40 |
| tomreyn | software which was last updated 10 years ago is most definitely full of security bugs. | 17:41 |
| tomreyn | i suggest you find an alternative software (or maybe someone forked freearc and still maintains it). | 17:42 |
| Robert54 | the latest release (I'm trying to use) was on May 20, 2010, but that does not change the situation, as I suppose... | 17:42 |
| Robert54 | oh, I can't accept the fact that this software works fine on Windows :( | 17:43 |
| Robert54 | Thank you | 17:43 |
| tomreyn | the same security implications will apply to windows | 17:44 |
| tomreyn | (or, more likely, worse) | 17:44 |
| Robert54 | I'm also trying to install Guitar Pro (released in 2016) which is 32-bit as well... here is the output: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zcr5369Csy/ | 17:47 |
| Robert54 | What am I supposed to in this case? "apt-file -a i386 search libportaudio0" does not find anything, but "apt-file -a i386 search gksu" find lots of packages... | 17:49 |
| Robert54 | supposed to do* | 17:49 |
| Robert54 | oh, I'm sorry, I meant these commands: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/R6WNJJdZG7/ | 17:52 |
| tomreyn | Robert54: by pointing you to the list of available i386 packages, i think i provided a way which should generally enable you to detemrine whether a i386 software can be run on ubuntu 19.10 and later. | 17:54 |
| tomreyn | you probably do not require gksu, though. | 17:54 |
| tomreyn | (use pkexec or sudo instead) | 17:54 |
| Robert54 | I thought you had meant to say that some 32-bit software might work and some might not | 17:55 |
| tomreyn | Robert54: yes, that is correct | 17:58 |
| tomreyn | Robert54: sorry, i should have written "generically", not "generally". | 17:58 |
| tomreyn | i.e. you now have a means to tell for any given i386-only software (which you know the dpendencies of) whether it can run on 19.10 and later or not. | 17:59 |
| Robert54 | Thank you so much! I wonder if it is possible to install required libs which are not listed on the package list. They've existed in old releases of Ubuntu's package lists I suppose | 18:00 |
| Robert54 | Maybe I could install them myself, somehow... even if they don't work properly | 18:01 |
| tomreyn | mixing packages from diffierent distributions (or (x)ubuntu releases) is not supported here, and has a good potential of break apt. | 18:11 |
| Robert54 | Okay, I'll keep it in mind | 18:12 |
