[00:45] <araminfo> hi all
[08:08] <akira_1985> Hi.I need some help. Lubuntu 18.04. Ctrl+Alt+T is not opening up a terminal window.
[08:08] <akira_1985> The terminal window just appears for a split second in the desktop before disappearing.
[08:08] <akira_1985> What can I do?
[08:10] <akira_1985> All other desktop shortcuts seem to be working fine.
 @akira_1985 [<akira_1985> Hi.I need some help. Lubuntu 18.04. Ctrl+Alt+T is not opening up a …], .hello, for better lubuntu, you should install 19.10
[17:31] <tyzef> Hi guys ! how are you? yet I haven't found a Lubuntu wiki, is it?
[17:31] <wxl> phab.lubuntu.me/w
[17:31] <tyzef> I have issue with my conky , it is fully blured
[17:31] <apt-ghetto> And there is the manual on the homepage
[17:31] <wxl> it has nothing on conky though
[17:31] <wxl> conky is not a normal part of a lubuntu system
[17:32] <akem> My conky works fine on my LUbuntu.
[17:32] <akem> With or without composite.
[17:33] <tyzef> okay, actually I don't need conky, but I use conky to look how much internet data I use... in my country internet is sadly very expensive for few... I want to see the data I am using, is there any thing that can do that, please?
[17:34] <wxl> cumulative usage?
[17:35] <tyzef> if you like to have a look on my conky ? https://pix.toile-libre.org/?img=1585766103.png
[17:35] <tyzef> yes wxl , culumative usage
[17:36] <wxl> that also doesn't look like default lubuntu but more like what lxqt looks like in debian
[17:36] <tyzef> hehe yes
[17:37] <wxl> sooooooooooo wrong channel :)
[17:37] <wxl> but i mean it seems like your network section is readable
[17:38] <tyzef> but nothing popup, and it make that only on lxqt
[17:38] <wxl> i have no clue what you're saying, but again, i can't speak to what debian lxqt is like
[17:39] <tyzef> no sorry I am wrong
[17:39] <tyzef> okay anyway I am in wrong channel, sorry guys !
[21:11] <wxl> there you go. now you're in the right place. so tell me again why you think you need 32 bit?
[21:13] <wxl> open a terminal and do `lspcu | grep lm && echo yes || echo no` and tell me what it responds
[21:17] <wxl> oops
[21:17] <wxl> i misttyped
[21:18] <wxl> let's fix that and we'll do this one better while we're at it `lscpu | grep -o ' lm '`
[21:19] <wxl> it will either give you something or nothing in return
[21:20] <wxl> ok then your computer can run a 64 bit operating system. install one and you can use anaconda
[21:20] <wxl> assuming you want to use lubuntu, install a 64 bit version. it's that simple.
[21:21] <wxl> i would suggest using 19.10
[21:21] <wxl> lubuntu.me/downloads
[21:21] <papiiiii> Hey everyone I just did an apt-get update && upgrade
[21:21] <papiiiii> and now my internal wifi adapter isnt working
[21:22] <wxl> papiiiii: what version are you on?
[21:22] <papiiiii> I can connect to the wifi network like usual but have no connection whatsoever
[21:22] <papiiiii> using an external wifi antena atm hooked to my laptop
[21:22] <wxl> i'm not asking you bright.
[21:22] <papiiiii> 9.2.1
[21:22] <papiiiii> 9.2.1-9
[21:22] <wxl> papiiiii: that's not a valid version for lubuntu
[21:23] <papiiiii> it says ubuntu for some reason
[21:23] <papiiiii> how my distro got upgraded to ubuntu
[21:23] <papiiiii> from lubuntu is beyond me
[21:23] <wxl> papiiiii: what's the value of DESKTOP_SESSION?
[21:24] <papiiiii> how can I get that?
[21:24] <papiiiii> is it an env var
[21:24] <wxl> open a terminal and `echo $DESKTOP_SESSION`
[21:24] <wxl> yep
[21:24] <papiiiii> i3
[21:24] <wxl> well yeah that's certainly not lubuntu X'D
[21:24] <wxl> at least not by default
[21:24] <papiiiii> I mean I installed i3wm
[21:24] <papiiiii> it was lubuntu
[21:24] <papiiiii> and the boot screen is lubuntu
[21:24] <papiiiii> lol
[21:25] <papiiiii> but for some reason it says I'm using ubuntu
[21:25] <papiiiii> with uname / proc/version
[21:25] <wxl> i would not use the i3 session, but use the lubuntu session and switch the default window manager
[21:25] <papiiiii> how will that impact my wifi issue
[21:25] <wxl> uname is for the kernel so that's not relevant
[21:25] <wxl> same with proc
[21:25] <wxl> also lubuntu is nothing more than a collection of packages in ubuntu, so it is ubuntu
[21:26] <papiiiii> yeah I understand that
[21:26] <wxl> anyways let's assume for the time being you have some very hacky/frankenstein version of lubuntu right now
[21:26] <wxl> try `lsb_release -a`
[21:27] <papiiiii> Description: Ubuntu 19.10
 I think that actually gives Ubuntu as well ^
[21:27] <papiiiii> no LSB Modules
[21:28] <wxl> if you just typed `lsb_release` that's what you'll get, but that's not what i asked
[21:28] <papiiiii> I can copy all 5 lines of code
[21:28] <papiiiii> sec
[21:28] <wxl> more specifically try `lsb_release -r` and then we can ignore the whole ubuntu thing
[21:28] <papiiiii> Release: 19.10
[21:29] <wxl> ok and this version 9.2.1-9 you gave before related to which package?
[21:30] <papiiii> dropped
[21:32] <papiiii> wxl: if you sent me any messages resend please
[21:32] <wxl> !info dropped
[21:32] <wxl> XD
[21:32] <wxl> ok and this version 9.2.1-9 you gave before related to which package?
[21:32] <papiiii> that's the output of /proc/version
[21:32] <papiiii> and uname -a
[21:32] <wxl> oh i see
[21:33] <wxl> look at `lspci -nnk` and grab the information related to your card
[21:34] <papiiii> 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak] [8086:0085] (rev 34)
[21:34] <papiiii>  Subsystem: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (802.11a/b/g/n) [8086:1311]
[21:34] <papiiii>  Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
[21:34] <papiiii>  Kernel modules: iwlwifi
[21:34] <papiiii> it's an old lenovo thinkpad laptop
[21:36] <wxl> ok that's the right driver
[21:36] <wxl> you know how to use pastebin/pastebinit?
[21:36] <papiiii> yeah
[21:38] <wxl> let's try `journalctl -S today -u NetworkManager` and send it to a pastebin and give me a link
[21:39] <papiiii> https://pastebin.com/rt6ru9Dn
[21:50] <wxl> papiiii: you got a vpn?
[21:51] <papiiii> ye
[21:51] <papiiii> not connected to it atm
[21:51] <papiiii> tried disconnecting
[21:51] <wxl> cuz i this it looks like you are
[21:51] <papiiii> thought that was the cause but nah
[21:52] <wxl> Bright, i did NOT say to upgrade to 19.10 but to install 19.10
 ^ that
 i.e. a *clean install*
 not an Upgrade
[21:53] <wxl> Bright, did you install lubuntu yourself?
[21:53] <wxl> then follow those same steps, except with 19.10
 you are on 18.04 right
 that would be xfburn
[21:56] <koldf> ay wxl
[21:56] <koldf> soft block/unblock fixed the issue via rfkill
[21:56] <koldf> hard switch didn't though
[21:56] <wxl> i was going to suggest that but then i saw the toggling in the logs so i thought you had already looked there
[21:56] <koldf> nah I completely overlooked that until I saw rfkill mentioned in the logs
[21:57] <koldf> thought hardware switch would be enough
[21:57] <wxl> yeah no there's the whole dumb soft block thing
[21:57] <wxl> i hate that garbage
[22:07] <papiiii> wxl Is this only a support channel or also general lubuntu/linux talk
[22:07] <wxl> papiiii: mainly for support. if you need linux help not specific to lubuntu but you're on lubuntu we're happy to help. if you want to just chat in general, #lubuntu-offtopic
[22:08] <papiiii> alright thanks
