=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash
roadrunneratwasthi. i am trying to install the software for my wifi card.  for this, i need to first have build-essential and dpkg, or just make.  apt-get --print-urls gives me "no candidate for make/build-essentials/dpkg". Do I have to download all dependencies individually from https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/devel/build-essential?  I will need to go back and lookup my arch, right?  Is there an easier way?04:16
roadrunneratwastneever mind.  got it04:21
HamiltonI installed i3-wm and somehow dunst replaced the original xfce4-notification. How can I get my original xfce4-notif10:30
brainwashHamilton: uninstall dunst10:31
Hamiltonbrainwash, But can I use xfce4-notif in i3wm?10:31
brainwashin? you mean "with"10:32
brainwashsure you can10:32
Hamiltonbrainwash, thing is, with i3 I have to call my own pactl and xbacklight and the like. But if I use xfce's who controls those stuff? Aren't they part of DE?10:33
brainwashwell yeah. Xfce has components to manages various things.10:34
brainwashthe pulseaudio panel plugin handles multimedia keys, the power manager reacts to brightness key presses10:36
brainwashxfsettingsd applies many settings (display, themes, etc.)10:36
brainwashi3 is only a window manager10:38
Hamiltonbrainwash, So I have to write my own notifs with dunst with non-xfce utilities in the i3 config file...Another question10:39
HamiltonHow to use Xfce's own locker, light-dm, instead of i3lock since I installed i3 as a new session and it seems improper to have another locker control logging in10:39
brainwashthe easiest approach would be to replace xfwm4 with i3 though10:39
HamiltonWhen I invoke dm-tool lock, it could be bypassed by switching to and back from tty10:39
brainwashyou install/use light-locker10:39
brainwashor any other screen locker10:39
Hamiltonbrainwash, Isn't light-dm a screen locker?10:40
brainwashno10:40
brainwashit's a display manager10:40
HamiltonI mean the one Xubuntu comes with preinsatalled10:40
brainwashthat one was light-locker (which is using lightdm-gtk-greeter as unlock interface)10:40
HamiltonWhen I boot to the login page, what exatly is the name of that program? (From there I can enter password or change session)10:40
brainwashin recent Xubuntu versions we have the new xfce4-screensaver10:41
HamiltonMy xubuntu is 18.0410:41
brainwashlightdm-gtk-greeter is the visual interface for login/unlock10:41
brainwashlightdm is the backend10:42
HamiltonIn Xubuntu, screen lock goes to lightdm-gtk-greeter, yes?10:42
brainwashright10:43
HamiltonI want this behaviour in i3wm also. So I don't manage two lockers10:43
brainwashthen put "light-locker" in your autostart list10:43
brainwashand use light-locker-command --lock10:44
brainwashto lock the session10:44
Hamiltonnice...Can I check it in terminal?10:44
brainwashyes10:44
Hamiltonlight-locker-command -l10:45
Hamilton** Message: 15:14:51.621: Received error message from the locker: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver was not provided by any .service files10:45
brainwashyou did not start light-locker10:45
brainwashor?10:46
Hamiltonexec --no-startup-id xss-lock --transfer-sleep-lock -- i3lock --nofork10:47
Hamiltoni3 is starting its own "lock process", right?10:48
brainwash...10:49
Hamiltonbrainwash, I did not start light-locker10:49
brainwashwhy not?10:49
HamiltonSince I fear it ocnfilits with this xss-lock10:49
brainwashif you are unsure, please ask in the i3 channel10:50
brainwashkeep in mind that this is the Xubuntu support channel10:50
Hamiltonbrainwash, ok. In 20.04 light-lock stuff is going to be dropped?10:50
Hamiltonwith xfce-screensaver?10:50
HamiltonWhy? Because of security?10:51
brainwashbecause of bugs due to how locking with lightdm + lightdm-gtk-greeter works10:52
brainwashmostly caused by graphics drivers10:52
brainwashor when suspending the system10:53
Hamiltonbrainwash, you are one of the devs?10:58
brainwashno10:59
rhodehi guys11:09
rhodeI know that I cat tile windows in XFCE, and already have binding with Super+Left|right to tile Left and right11:10
rhodeThis gives me a 50% / 50% split of the realestate11:11
rhodeIs ther any way in XFCE to resize the windows (like its done in e.g. i3vm) so that a keypress will e.g. reduce left windows by 10% and at the same time increase the right windows by 10% ?11:11
roadrunneratwasthi.  i need to install dkms, build-essential, and make on an offline computer.  i am now on another linux box that has internet.  where can i download a .deb file that would contain these?12:09
diogenes_roadrunneratwast, you can do: apt-get download package.deb12:14
roadrunneratwastok thanks12:15
diogenes_make sure you got dependences too.12:16
roadrunneratwastbuild-essentials has a ton of dependencies12:16
roadrunneratwastwill the apt-get download all of them?12:16
roadrunneratwasti am trying to build the driver for my network card12:17
roadrunneratwastso i need build-essentials, make, dkms12:18
diogenes_i don'd think so, you can try: a[t-get download pack1 pack212:18
diogenes_apt-get*12:18
roadrunneratwastoof12:18
roadrunneratwastok12:18
Unit193See also: apt-offline12:22
roadrunneratwastbuild-essential deb is just a list, not actual packages12:28
roadrunneratwastjust the dependency list12:28
diogenes_yeah a meta package.12:32
roadrunneratwastwhen i do apt-get print-uris <package> i receive the message "<package> has no insallation candidate12:51
roadrunneratwastoh.  but xenial has build-essentials installed by default?13:18
roadrunneratwastok.  that would be easier13:18

CrazyLikeAFoxI seem to have broken packages tht depend on these files15:57
CrazyLikeAFoxAccording to synaptic, I have 3 broken packages: libarpack2, libhdf5-100, and liblapack316:01
CrazyLikeAFoxIf I try to just remove any of them, they list a bunch of stuff dependant on them, especially the 3rd one, which includes stuff that's currently working fine16:02
CrazyLikeAFoxhrm, synaptic at least won't let me remove the former two, as the main thing depending on them doesn't work to start with16:13
CrazyLikeAFoxwith the 3rd package broken still16:13
