=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash
max12345hey all, the automatic dist upgrade notification just popped up again... it doesn't work, is that a known issue, where would I file that as a bug?09:43
max12345just the regular https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs ? because I think there may be a good chance it's working on pure ubuntu.09:44
tomreyn!bug | max12345: you need to file bugs against the 'source package'.10:23
ubottumax12345: you need to file bugs against the 'source package'.: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its official !flavors, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.10:23
JackFrostCurious, from which version to which version?  What does /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades say?11:06
max12345wow, another clever site that identifies by username and not email12:55
max12345(launchpad) ah well...12:55
tomreynyou mean the one where it says "Please type your email:" on the login screen?12:57
JackFrostThough the link is launchpad.net/~tomreyn12:58
tomreyn?12:58
max12345no usernames have to be unique on launchpad12:59
max12345because it's 1999 and we can't handle having two people identifying as "max"12:59
JackFrosttomreyn: You login via your email, but your username is still without the TLD, he seems to want the TLD included so you can have tom@somewhereweird.com as your identifier.13:00
tomreyni see. well, uanchpad isn't too young, and SSO is complex, i never had to set one up thankfully and thus won't comment on how it should be done.13:02
tomreyn*launchpad13:02
JackFrostI'm glad we get proper usernames.13:02
tomreynand that we don't get spammed since our e-mail addresses are not as easily harvested as on other sites.13:03
JackFrostMeh, if you contribute to Debian your email gets archived in so many emails and 3rd party list viewers it doesn't matter. :313:04
max12345anyway, I filed the bug but now launchpad says it timed out13:04
max12345so is the bug report saved or do I have to resubmit it?13:04
tomreynon modern web browsers you'll just reload the pag and it'll re-submit13:05
max12345yep, that times out again.13:05
tomreyn:-/ there's #launchpad then13:06
max12345hm.13:06
max12345worth a shot I suppose13:06
tomreynyou can also start web developer extensions and get a copy of what you submitted that way13:06
tomreynor maybe go back in the browser, copy you input, save it to a file, reaload the bug submission form, copy -> paste  it there and submit again13:07
tomreynwere you using "ubuntu-bug" though?13:07
max12345yep13:08
tomreynis there a unique id on the url, yet?13:08
max12345there is an error id for the timeout yes13:08
max12345I think that's in the url13:08
max12345ah no it's different but there is something that could be an id in the url13:09
tomreynan "oops"?13:09
tomreyni mean, what's the url parameter name?13:09
tomreynyou don't need to share the value13:10
max12345https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+filebug/ ...and then an id13:10
tomreynah ok so it's not created, yet, just debug data was uploaded13:11
max12345ah ok now it gave me a proper error13:12
max12345ok...13:12
max12345now it's timing out again...13:16
max12345yay done.13:19
max12345thanks13:20
max12345let's hope it helps...13:20
tomreyndo you have SHELL=/bin/fish set system wide or just for your user?13:22
max12345I actually don't know13:23
tomreyni'm surprised "DpkgHistoryLog.txt" and "DpkgTerminalLog.txt" came back empty13:23
tomreyngenerally you'll get a better chance of support when a release is not very close to end of life13:23
max12345hm we'll see. If I have to I will just file it again...13:28
tomreyni think your best way forward is to upgrade soon, then see whether it's still present13:31
max12345I mean the upgrade doesn't work so I'll have to wipe the system again?13:32
tomreynhow does the upgrade not work?13:32
tomreyn!upgrade13:33
ubottuFor upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade13:33
max12345I tried to use update-manager -d and it just said everything is up to date13:38
max12345there was a distupgrade command iirc? let me see what that says...13:40
max12345... literally nothing. 0 upgraded, 0 not upgraded.13:41
xubuntu57wHi there guys. I want to rebind scroll click and right click in my mouse to keyboard keys, but can't find a simple app to do that. Any ideas?13:43
xubuntu57wIt is for a Flash game that I play.13:43
max12345tomreyn: ah, trying to do it with update-manager and clicking upgrade says it can't find a value for SHELL in /etc/shells13:44
Kumoolxubuntu57w: theres a way, let me see if I can find the command13:47
Kumoolits a default one by xorg13:47
Kumoolxubuntu57w: xinput --set-button-map13:49
Kumoolyou will need to remap the entire device13:50
xubuntu57wI feel kinda lost. What am I supposed to do from there on?13:50
Kumoolxubuntu57w: xinput list --long to see everything13:50
xubuntu57wFind my device's id?13:50
Kumoolyes13:50
xubuntu57wI found it, it is named Bluetooth Mouse, which is the Microsoft BT mouse that I have.13:52
Kumool:)13:52
KumoolI can only point you in the direction, I have not done it, so13:53
xubuntu57wID is 18, I assume it is static, right?13:53
* Kumool shrugs13:53
Kumoolif it isn't you can make a script in xinit that can run the rebinding command each time you start the PC13:54
Kumoolor there's probably a configuration file somewhere13:55
xubuntu57wHmm, I'd settle with something executable that would last for that session. Even better, to only work while X app window is selected or smt, but that's more complicated.13:55
Kumoolnot necessarily13:55
Kumoolyou just make a wrapper13:55
Kumoolrunapp.sh is actually    rebinding.sh;app;unbind.sh13:56
Kumooland launch the app using runapp.sh13:56
Kumoolmm its a flashgame...13:56
Kumoolwell, you can set a profile just for that game, open chromium with another profile13:57
Kumoolits what I do with firefox for private sessions13:58
Kumooland netflix, because running widedevine will crash my computer13:58
xubuntu57wI use Flash Projector.14:22
xubuntu57wIt's way lighter compared to Firefox.14:22
Kumoolah14:22
Kumoolmaybe I'll give it a go14:22
Kumool(14:22
KumoolI wont)14:22
=== s0rcer3r is now known as sorcerer
xubuntu57wSo I'll just need xinit to revind the keys, right?14:23
Kumoolno14:32
Kumooljust xinput14:32
Kumooljust make a wrapper around flash projector and rebind when you start it14:32
Kumoolit would be nice to only bind to the app, but :S14:33
Kumoolthat's beyond me14:33
xubuntu57wOh man, I'm confused on how do to it exactly.14:56
xubuntu57wI can only find info about swapping buttons.14:56
=== Kumool is now known as Monev
xubuntu60wHi19:37
xubuntu60wI have installed xubuntu-desktop on raspberry pi19:37
xubuntu60wwhat command should I run to boot the GUI19:37
diogenes_startxfce419:39
JackFrostFor best results, in my ~/.xinitrc I have: export DESKTOP_SESSION=xubuntu\nexport XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=xubuntu\n. /etc/X11/Xsession\nstartxfce422:11
xubuntu60wI don't see startxfce4 in my system22:22
xubuntu60wI have installed xubuntu-desktop22:23
xubuntu60walso Xorg22:23
JackFrostxubuntu-desktop depends on xfce4-session, which provides that.22:24
