| StupidDanbo | I ran some commands without knowing what they would do, and I'm worried. Should I be worried if my Software Updater says "Unused kernel updates to be removed" "Header files related to Linux kernel version 4.15.0" and "Linux kernel headers for version 4.15.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP"? | 08:00 |
|---|---|---|
| StupidDanbo | I got one to add a repository. and "wget -qO - download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/SveSop/xUbuntu_18.04/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -" | 08:01 |
| StupidDanbo | and sudo sh -c "echo 'deb download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/SveSop/xUbuntu_18.04/ ./' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/Wine.list" | 08:01 |
| StupidDanbo | would just adding a repository and running those 2 commands do anything harmful? | 08:02 |

| lighterowl | "I ran some commands without knowing what they would do" | 10:25 |
| lighterowl | I think that's Satan: 666. | 10:25 |
| well_laid_lawn | lighterowl: probably | 10:41 |
| astraljava | Well, c'mon. Who here doesn't use products without ever consulting their manuals? :D | 11:15 |
| Noboru55 | hello | 15:00 |
| Noboru55 | i just wanted to say: i tried pure debian, slacko (puppylinux), others mandriva based linux, but nothing got close to the xubuntu 18.04 in lightweigth X, memory and cpu usage... its perfetc and really beautifull to use as O.S, better with conky, if someone wanna to see it's my desktop | 15:02 |
| Noboru55 | http://i.imgur.com/H6UcvKF.png | 15:02 |
| Noboru55 | thank you for the help, diogenes and others | 15:02 |
| Noboru55 | only 462 memory usage playing znes... and only two cpu.... its really faster than windows 10 of course..my printer and scan works right.. and everything i use.. really happy :D | 15:03 |
| Noboru55 | i also tried xubuntu 19.10 but only the 18.04 works in good way, the 19.10 sometimes get slow and stuck when copying or move files.. when open browser all get slow.. it doestn happen in 18.04.. lucky till 2023.. | 15:19 |
| lighterowl | Noboru55: yes, that's a common issue with 19.10, sadly. | 15:55 |
| Noboru55 | lighterowl really? happy in know it, i was thinking it was guilt of my hardware | 15:57 |
| lighterowl | Noboru55: yes, it's related to the kernel. you can still keep using 19.10, but you'd have to change grub's configuration to use the older kernel (which should probably be 4.15 or something). | 16:14 |
| Noboru55 | i see. | 16:15 |
| Noboru55 | lighterowl thank you, maybe i will try it | 16:15 |
| lighterowl | at least it works for me on my hardware. :) | 16:17 |
| Noboru55 | i guess it is related to the kernel too.. i am sure it will work here too.. | 16:19 |
| Noboru55 | but need to install the 19.10 and later download and do the linux use the kernel of 18.04 | 16:19 |
| Noboru55 | ii linux-image-5.3.0-26-generic 5.3.0-26.28~18.04.1 amd64 Signed kernel image generic | 16:21 |
| Noboru55 | maybe they will fix it in xubuntu fossa 20 | 16:24 |
| Noboru55 | is the rhythmbox the best option to sync songs from xubuntu to iphone? | 18:19 |
| Noboru55 | something like copy files for directories would be better... as android | 18:19 |
| Noboru55 | Done with Vlc, but it just send to Vlc folder i cant use the iphone library | 18:29 |
| Noboru55 | better than nothing, i can get the habit of use vlc as a player | 18:29 |

| Noboru55 | trying | 18:43 |
| Noboru55 | the vlc in iphone has the option to share wifi.. so it gives u an ip address, u just need to be in the same network, so.. in browser u just move files to the ip u recieved from iphones vlc anda shazamm | 18:44 |
| Charles885476 | Hi; i have an older version of xubuntu that is quite buggy. I have been trying to up-date to a newer version, but my system seems too buggy to even get started. | 19:22 |
| Charles885476 | When i use Software Updater, i get an errior message that says "The Package System is Broken". | 19:25 |
| Charles885476 | is there anyone here who can help me? | 19:25 |
| Alabalistic | you want to update to new release | 19:26 |
| Alabalistic | or just system update | 19:26 |
| Bashing-om | Charles885476: pastebin ' lsb_release -a ; sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade '. See what the story here is. | 19:26 |
| Charles885476 | Alabalistic; I would like to update to a new release. | 19:27 |
| Alabalistic | sudo do-release-upgrade # is the command. | 19:29 |
| Charles885476 | Bashing-om, i an having probs getting access to su or root in my command-line. My password seems to be being refused. | 19:29 |
| Charles885476 | Will boot-up the command-line & try again. | 19:29 |
| Charles885476 | thanks, trying suggestions now; ... | 19:29 |
| Bashing-om | Charles885476: awk - see what the command line enables you to do. | 19:31 |
| Bashing-om | Charles885476: try termbin: as in ' sudo apt update 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999 '. | 19:32 |
| Charles885476 | Alabalistic, my password seemed to allow me to enter your command syntax, but the message i get is "There is no development of an LTS available. To upgrade to the latest non-LTS development release set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades." | 19:34 |
| Charles885476 | Bashing, will try your syntax | 19:35 |
| Alabalistic | you use xubuntu, yes and you have 18.4 | 19:35 |
| Alabalistic | this is the latest LTS next is April 2020 | 19:35 |
| Charles885476 | Ok, that explains if my version is current. | 19:35 |
| Alabalistic | what are your complains | 19:36 |
| Charles885476 | but it is still quite buggy & i need some help there. | 19:36 |
| Alabalistic | what is the problem | 19:36 |
| Charles885476 | My external speakers work fine on my older machine; but on this newer quad-core machine my speakers refuse to function. | 19:37 |
| Alabalistic | bluethoot speaker | 19:38 |
| Alabalistic | or | 19:38 |
| Charles885476 | Pluss; the normal button to log-out of my session does not work; & i have to boot task-manager to kill my session in order to log-out. | 19:39 |
| Charles885476 | No, external speakers are hard-wired from the plug-in jack on the side of the laptop. | 19:39 |
| Alabalistic | this can be some configurations in your home folder. First create a new user and make him administrator | 19:40 |
| Charles885476 | Ok; ...; may take a few moments; ... | 19:40 |
| Alabalistic | then the speaker issue we can see this next | 19:40 |
| Charles885476 | My present account was not set as administrator, & i changed that so i am now administrator; but i also created another account where i am administrator. | 19:46 |
| Alabalistic | and can you shut down the system normaly | 19:47 |
| Charles885476 | Should i re-boot into the new administrator account, or should we try to make this one work? | 19:47 |
| Alabalistic | try the new, leave the old for now, later you will transfer your personal files and set the permissions | 19:48 |
| Charles885476 | Right, Alaba; Will try to shut-down normally now. Will likely be a few moments before i get back here. Thanks much. | 19:48 |
| Charles8854 | Hey, Charles 8854 is back here; i just left about 15-minutes ago. | 20:03 |
| Charles8854 | I created the new user with admin powers, & am logged in there. | 20:04 |
| Charles8854 | I can log-out ok now; but ... | 20:04 |
| Charles8854 | but my problems with getting sound to work thru my otherwise functional hard-wired external-speakers is persisting. | 20:05 |
| Charles8854 | Nope!!! Cancel That!!! My external-speakers are now working fine!!! | 20:09 |
| Charles8854 | You fellas are great!!! | 20:10 |
| Charles8854 | My original log-in here was slightly different; so my communications here do not appear continuous. | 20:11 |
| Charles8854 | Hi; i have been here recently today, & i got some good advice for curing some problems on my machine. | 23:22 |
| Charles8854 | I made back-ups of all of my important filed, copied to an external hard-drive, & i created a new admin account to copy them to. | 23:24 |
| Charles8854 | all of my important files were backed-up. | 23:24 |
| Charles8854 | But the external hard-drive refuses to allow me to access my files from under my new admin user account. | 23:25 |
| Charles8854 | Do any among you have any idea how i can get my old backed-up files to be accessible to me from under my newly-created admin user-account? | 23:27 |
| well_laid_lawn | Charles8854: is the external drive mounted properly ? | 23:28 |
| Charles8854 | Duh, ok, it was un-mounted. | 23:29 |
| Charles8854 | And there are all of my files!!! | 23:30 |
| Charles8854 | God i love smart people!!!! | 23:30 |
| Charles8854 | Thanks much wwlawn! | 23:30 |
| well_laid_lawn | cheers | 23:31 |
