| lubot | <tbs61> hello, i learned that the virtualbox we usually use is not opensource but there s opensource option too, where can i get opensource virtualbox for lubuntu? | 13:45 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | @tbs61 actually that's old news. it's the extension pack that's proprietary. | 16:51 |
| lubot | <tbs61> @wxl [<wxl> @tbs61 actually that's old news. it's the extension pack that's proprietar …], when i run tails it warns me even thought i dont active that pack | 16:58 |
| wxl | @tbs61 their wiki references the "ose" (open source editon) which was something that *DID* exist but that was prior to version 4 | 17:03 |
| wxl | !info virtualbox | 17:03 |
| ubottu | virtualbox (source: virtualbox): x86 virtualization solution - base binaries. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 6.1.6-dfsg-1 (focal), package size 20860 kB, installed size 109070 kB | 17:03 |
| wxl | ^ as you can see, that was a little bit ago | 17:03 |
| wxl | (10 years, actually) | 17:03 |
| lubot | <tbs61> @@ | 17:04 |
| wxl | so you might want to go complaint at tails about that one | 17:04 |
| wxl | also, this isn't tails' support channel sooooooooo XD | 17:04 |
| lubot | <tbs61> thanks for giving me an answer:) | 17:05 |
| slowstoop | whats the easiest way to run a desktop shortcut as root, say leafpad? | 19:03 |
| dax | wxl: did they resolve the issue that got it moved to multiverse in the first place ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1164654 ) or is that still a thing? | 19:19 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1164654 in virtualbox (Ubuntu) "Please move virtualbox to multiverse" [Undecided,Fix released] | 19:19 |
| dax | ('cause that wasn't related to the extension pack; OSE was not dfsg-free even without it) | 19:19 |
| wxl | dax: right. that i don't know. fwiw i use the upstream repos. | 19:23 |
| dax | ah | 19:23 |
| wxl | !info virtualbox | 19:29 |
| ubottu | virtualbox (source: virtualbox): x86 virtualization solution - base binaries. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 6.1.6-dfsg-1 (focal), package size 20860 kB, installed size 109070 kB | 19:29 |
| wxl | yeah it is in multiverse because of the bios which is open source but not considered free | 19:29 |
| wxl | i doubt that will change | 19:29 |
| wxl | oh i'm sorry it's not the bios but the compiler used to build the bios | 19:30 |
| dax | well, it's open source, just requires a build environment that isn't | 19:30 |
| dax | yeah | 19:30 |
| dax | tricky situation | 19:30 |
| wxl | https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#Watcom | 19:31 |
| wxl | the source code is required to be "deployed" by the license | 19:31 |
| wxl | and they define that as such: | 19:31 |
| wxl | 1.4 "Deploy" means to use, sublicense or distribute Covered Code other | 19:31 |
| wxl | than for Your internal research and development (R&D) and/or Personal | 19:31 |
| wxl | Use, and includes without limitation, any and all internal use or | 19:31 |
| wxl | distribution of Covered Code within Your business or organization | 19:31 |
| wxl | except for R&D use and/or Personal Use, as well as direct or indirect | 19:31 |
| dax | oh huh, it's actually OSI-approved and FSF-disapproved, and considered non-dfsg free for a different reason from the FSF disapproval. interesting, haven't seen one this wonky in a while | 19:36 |
| dax | anyways, i'm veering offtopic, will stop | 19:36 |
| slowstoop | whats the easiest way to run a desktop shortcut as root, say leafpad? | 20:03 |
| lubot | <teward001> not running GUI applications as root. | 20:03 |
| lubot | <aptghetto> Use Windows | 20:03 |
| lubot | <teward001> because that leads to all sorts of permissions issues | 20:03 |
| lubot | Daksh was added by: Daksh | 20:07 |
| lubot | <Daksh> Well I know my question is stupid but I hope I get answer that I love lubuntu but shifted to KDE neon coz it's too bloated with apps and libraries I don't need any way to remove before login in lubuntu or any minimal in stallion | 20:09 |
| slowstoop | ffs i just want an answer not a cheeky bot | 20:11 |
| lubot | <Daksh> @tsimonq2 | 20:19 |
| lubot | <Daksh> @Daksh [Well I know my question is stupid but I hope I get answer that I love lubuntu bu …], Help me pls | 20:20 |
| wxl | @Daksh i didn't see a question in there. | 20:24 |
| lubot | <Daksh> Ohh one question I didn't saw lubuntu 20.10 on official lubuntu but got this http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/current/HEADER.html is this for real | 20:32 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> @slowstoop [<slowstoop> ffs i just want an answer not a cheeky bot], if you only need sudo for leafpad, better use vim, nano or similar. | 20:33 |
| wxl | @Daksh we don't include it in the downloads because it's not released. | 20:48 |
