| rosika | Hi. Is it true that with the shift from LXDE to LXQt Lubuntu 20.04 has become a bit more resource-hungry? | 12:44 |
|---|---|---|
| santimir[m] | have been trying to install wow-usb, with no luck at all. The problem is that one of the dependencies isn't installable | 20:50 |
| santimir[m] | woeusb: Depends: libwxgtk3.0-0v5 but it is not installable | 20:51 |
| lubot | <teward001> are you on Focal? | 20:53 |
| eddyizm | just upgraded to focal here. | 20:53 |
| eddyizm | a nice upgrade from 19.10 | 20:54 |
| lubot | <teward001> i was asking santimir | 20:54 |
| lubot | <teward001> santimir: if you're on 20.04 then the packaging for WoeUSB needs to be updated first | 20:55 |
| lubot | <teward001> the package names changed i think | 20:56 |
| santimir[m] | yes, i can't get very well what you mean, sorry | 20:57 |
| lubot | <teward001> ahhh, wait a minute | 20:57 |
| lubot | <teward001> GTK2 support is gone, so I think part of the problem is that WoeUSB is not properly supported on 20.04 (it has GTK2 bindings) | 20:57 |
| santimir[m] | i don't know how to install windows then | 20:58 |
| santimir[m] | need it for work :-( | 20:58 |
| santimir[m] | i'm trying to build woe from source but it won't run | 20:59 |
| santimir[m] | from source it's running at least | 21:07 |
| kc2bez | santimir[m]: you would have to contact the ppa maintainer to update the package. | 21:10 |
| santimir[m] | i'm confused about what update means, isn't lubuntu outdated according to the previous comment? | 21:11 |
| kc2bez | The opposite actually. The ppa package was built before focal was released so the package didn't keep up with what was available to build with. | 21:13 |
| wxl | santimir[m]: the reference is to the ppa being outdated | 21:13 |

| wxl | oh jeez and it's webupd8 too so that's concerning | 21:14 |
| wxl | if they're not up on the maintainence that's a bad sign | 21:14 |
| kc2bez | It is concerning. | 21:16 |
| wxl | oh dude it's using wxwidgets | 21:16 |
| wxl | which is indeed still on gtk2 yuuuuuuuuuuuuuck | 21:18 |
| wxl | er | 21:18 |
| kc2bez | Admittedly I have never tried but isn't it possible to write a Windows USB using dd like you would a Linux iso? | 21:19 |
| wxl | or maybe stopped being updated after 11.04? https://wiki.wxpython.org/InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian | 21:19 |
| * wxl shrugs | 21:19 | |
| wxl | windows is worth having… in a virtual machine | 21:20 |
| * kc2bez shrugs | 21:21 | |
| wxl | so supposedly wxiwdgets SHOULD now handle gtk3 but my guess is they packaged it specifically around 2.6 to allow them to support the widest possible variety of versions | 21:21 |
| wxl | i mean gtk2 SHOULD still be around | 21:21 |
| kc2bez | It looks like there has been some activity on GitHub. | 21:22 |
| wxl | and that package that supposedly can't be installed is a gtk3 version | 21:22 |
| wxl | since woeusb seems to depend on a disk image, i bet it's easily used in a vm | 21:24 |
| kc2bez | The GitHub repo dropped libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev | 21:24 |
| kc2bez | 10 days ago | 21:24 |
| santimir[m] | i completely forgot you could install windows in a virtual machine | 21:30 |
| santimir[m] | it was successfully installed though | 21:31 |
| santimir[m] | using the github version | 21:31 |
| santimir[m] | just out of curiosity; for an installation in a VM all we need is virtual box, windows.iso and some partition ain't it? | 21:41 |
| kc2bez | You don't need to partition, it will use your current storage. The new vm wizard should walk you through. | 21:42 |
| kc2bez | Virtualbox creates a disk image on your file system for your VM. | 21:44 |

| santimir[m] | thanks for this, it took just a couple of minutes to get the same result | 22:52 |
| santimir[m] | is there any reason why you prefer vms rather than a normal install of windows? | 22:53 |
| wxl | santimir[m]: because windows is a security nightmare and rather annoying to deal with anyways | 23:30 |
