[12:49] Hello, everyone! Any idea why my window managers might have stopped auto-completing file/folder names in the address bar? [12:50] (Google gives me random results about various programs.) === genii-core is now known as genii [16:57] [telegram] Could be a permission issue. Maybe someone knows [16:58] @Halis they're long gone [16:58] which you don't see at your end at telegram [19:22] [telegram] My LibreOffice has some minor problems with slide list window (undocked, refused to dock) [19:23] [telegram] So I had bright idea to delete /home/mateusz/.config/libreoffice/4/user/ [19:23] [telegram] I deleted it with sudo (warning that I ignored, I should stop and think at this point) [19:23] [telegram] Now LibreOffice fails to boot [19:23] [telegram] https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/10c6aa06/file_3429.jpg [19:24] [telegram] I did sudo apt-get remove libreoffice + sudo apt-get install libreoffice [19:24] [telegram] I did sudo apt-get purge libreoffice + sudo apt-get install libreoffice [19:24] [telegram] I applied https://askubuntu.com/questions/1347111/how-can-i-recreate-default-etc-cron-d-files to this folder [19:25] [telegram] How can I get working LibreOffice back? Without OS reinstall? [19:27] [telegram] "The application cannot be started. User installation could not be completed." with window title "LibreOffice 6.4 - Fatal Error" is not too useful; [19:29] [telegram] Any reason not to use the current version? (I think it's 7.2) [19:29] [telegram] That is what I got from package manager, I will run update (re @Rodrigo: Any reason not to use the current version? (I think it's 7.2)) [19:30] [telegram] Yep [19:30] [telegram] after update: [19:30] [telegram] sudo apt-get install libreoffice [19:30] [telegram] Reading package lists... Done [19:30] [telegram] Building dependency tree [19:30] [telegram] Reading state information... Done [19:30] [telegram] libreoffice is already the newest version (1:6.4.7-0ubuntu0.20.04.1). [19:32] [telegram] https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2021/08/install-libreoffice-7-2-ubuntu-20-04-21-10/amp/ [19:32] [telegram] Method 3 [19:33] that's not going to be needed to solve this problem, though [19:34] [telegram] heh, I just did it (re @Rodrigo: https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2021/08/install-libreoffice-7-2-ubuntu-20-04-21-10/amp/) [19:35] better try sudo sudo apt purge libreoffice* (don't miss the "*" character!) and then sudo apt install --reinstall libreoffice [19:35] [telegram] And? (re @matkoniecz: heh, I just did it) [19:35] [telegram] fail (re @Rodrigo: And?) [19:35] [telegram] https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/10c6aa06/file_3429.jpg [19:36] [telegram] https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/f3746046/file_3430.jpg [19:36] [telegram] Same error? [19:36] [telegram] Yep [19:36] [telegram] Just different title - version string changed [19:36] [telegram] 😕 [19:37] [telegram] Doing sudo apt purge libreoffice* [19:37] [telegram] This one actually seems to be doing reinstall [19:38] [telegram] Though error remained [19:38] [telegram] WTF was in /home/mateusz/.config/libreoffice/4/user/ [19:39] [telegram] Can't you restore it from trash using file manager? (re @matkoniecz: WTF was in /home/mateusz/.config/libreoffice/4/user/) [19:40] [telegram] no, I did it from command line with sudo (because it refused to be deleted, that was dumb) (re @Rodrigo: Can't you restore it from trash using file manager?) [19:40] [telegram] Solved! [19:40] [telegram] /home/mateusz/.config/libreoffice/ somehow become root-owned [19:40] [telegram] Deleting it allowed libreoffice to boot [19:40] [telegram] And thanks to that, somehow I was stuck on old version! (re @Rodrigo: https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2021/08/install-libreoffice-7-2-ubuntu-20-04-21-10/amp/) [19:40] [telegram] So there is some benefit [19:40] [telegram] 👍🏽👍🏽 [19:41] [telegram] tomreyn: thanks for an actual reinstall, I failed to find it [19:41] [telegram] I'm glad you solved it 🙂 [19:42] [telegram] That is because you used sudo aka root. (re @matkoniecz: /home/mateusz/.config/libreoffice/ somehow become root-owned) [19:43] [telegram] Yes, but I used it to remove folder inside this folder. Is it changing owner of folder where such command was run? (re @kc2bez: That is because you used sudo aka root.) [19:44] [telegram] Also, I put ~/.config/libreoffice into git repo so I can roll back changes in a future [19:44] [telegram] Probably got changed somewhere along the way. sudo should never be needed for anything in your own home folder unless the permissions get changed somehow. [19:56] matkoniecz: list files or directories not owned by your user / your primary user group: find $HOME \( \! -uid $(id -u) \) -o \( \! -gid $(id -g) \) [19:56] (within your home directory) [19:57] if you have a root owned file ".rnd" there, that's fine [20:00] [telegram] tomreyn: hm, it finds files which I own [20:01] [telegram] though something funky is with primary user group [20:01] [telegram] well, I will be reinstalling soon anyway [20:02] [telegram] Hello, sometimes internet stops. i use wifi connection. i make it disconnect and when i re connect wifi it just doesnt. idk why but it doesnt connect again. the solution is restarting computer or suspending and coming back. when i do that wifi can connect again. this happened severel times in 2 weeks... [20:03] [telegram] i know this may be ubuntu based problem, it s okay. i dont mind if i dont get any permenent solution here. just sharing so u know about this. [20:48] matkoniecz: if the user group differs it *can* still be fine. [21:14] [telegram] Standard step: have you tried rebooting router? (re @tbs61: i know this may be ubuntu based problem, it s okay. i dont mind if i dont get any permenent solution here. just sharing so u know about this.) [21:15] [telegram] Is it happenning when you connect via cable to router? [21:15] [telegram] Is it happening only on specific wifi network or all of them? [21:16] [telegram] Are you using EOL OS? Have you tried updating? (unlikely to help, but why not try) [21:19] [telegram] yes, many times (re @matkoniecz: Standard step: have you tried rebooting router?) [21:19] [telegram] i dont use cable so idk (re @matkoniecz: Is it happenning when you connect via cable to router?) [21:20] [telegram] i use one only, i didnt have smilar problem for a long time before (re @matkoniecz: Is it happening only on specific wifi network or all of them?) [21:20] [telegram] i use latest from lubuntu.me and apply all updates (re @matkoniecz: Are you using EOL OS? Have you tried updating? (unlikely to help, but why not try)) [22:08] [telegram] the point is that sometimes internet is wonky, not wifi (usually wifi is failing point but at least once ISP was faulty and in some cases router was broken) (re @tbs61: i dont use cable so idk) [22:09] [telegram] And if you connect by cable and problem goes away then it confirms wifi issue [22:09] [telegram] (sorry that I cannot really help but I also run into "wifi fails for no clear reason" that I never really explained) [22:12] [telegram] it s okay really. thanks for giving ur time (re @matkoniecz: (sorry that I cannot really help but I also run into "wifi fails for no clear reason" that I never really explained))
