| [00:16] <woof> hi | |
| [00:18] <woof> im trying to use gparted on my lubuntu install but its different to gparted im used to | |
| [00:40] <tsimonq2> woof: If it seems different, launch it from the terminal as you may be referencing a different package | |
| === iynque is now known as QuaintOldBaby | |
| === QuaintOldBaby is now known as iynque | |
| [01:25] <woof> tsimonq2 thanks for that, it seems i have been running the lubuntu disk manager app which doesnt have options to resize partitions so not much use to me. i thought it was gparted. | |
| [01:28] <woof> I try install gparted in the terminal but there are deeper issues i think with the lubuntu install, It | |
| [01:28] <woof> reports some errors about serial.txt | |
| [01:34] <Kamilion> huh | |
| [01:35] <Kamilion> I've been using gparted for a while | |
| [01:35] <Kamilion> http://puu.sh/k5Ypx/d2ecec3d9f.jpg <--- what exactly are you having a problem with? | |
| [01:39] <woof> one second ill boot the laptop and show you the errors when i try install updates. | |
| [01:39] <Kamilion> oh, trouble with apt isn't really my forte, but I'll try to help. | |
| [01:40] <Kamilion> I've seen a lot of it's error messages over the last eight years | |
| [01:41] <woof> ok thanks ive been on linux a few years but not really a technical user and im more familiar with debian | |
| [01:42] <Kamilion> i maintain a lubuntu-derived live ISO, so I'm reasonably comfortable with technical stuff and the process of discovery. | |
| [01:44] <woof> i have the error in a .txt can i upload that to pastebin or something? whats a quick site to use? | |
| [01:44] <Kamilion> i should note though, ubuntu's kinda behind on gparted, I think wily's got 0.19, gparted.org has 0.23.0 available as a standalone ISO. http://gparted.org/download.php | |
| [01:44] <Kamilion> uh | |
| [01:44] <Kamilion> normally I'd tell you to install the pastebinit package | |
| [01:44] <Kamilion> which uploads to http://paste.ubuntu.com | |
| [01:44] <Kamilion> but considering it's your apt that's having problems, I'd guess it'd be easier to visit with a web browser. | |
| [01:45] <woof> ok ill put it online just a minute | |
| [01:52] <woof> i cant get the text from the xterm window to copy to clipboard | |
| [01:53] <iynque> right click > copy? | |
| [01:53] <woof> right click does nothing, crtl-c does nothing | |
| [01:53] <iynque> ctrl+C kills a process in terminal | |
| [01:54] <iynque> ctrl+shift+C might work | |
| [01:54] <woof> k | |
| [01:55] <woof> nope | |
| [01:55] <iynque> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | |
| [01:55] <woof> taking a break, back in a min | |
| [01:56] <woof> *shruggs lol | |
| [01:58] <iynque> for xterm: middle click, or shift+insert, via http://askubuntu.com/questions/237942/how-does-copy-paste-work-with-xterm | |
| [01:58] <iynque> :B | |
| [01:58] <Unit193> That's one paste buffer, the other one is different. | |
| [01:59] <iynque> whelp... | |
| [01:59] <Unit193> That's the 'select' buffer, so should generally be alright. | |
| [01:59] * iynque excuses himself to not-know else where : | |
| [02:02] <woof> well that didnt copy | |
| [02:04] <Kamilion> whoops, sorry, got a little distracted | |
| [02:05] <woof> it says... update-rc.d: error: unable to read /etc/init.d/setserial | |
| [02:07] <woof> dpkg: error processing package setserial (--configure): | |
| [02:20] <woof> searching google but not hopefull | |
| [02:23] <Kamilion> uh, okay | |
| [02:23] <Kamilion> does /etc/init.d/setseria* exist? | |
| [02:24] <Kamilion> ls -al /etc/ini*/setseria* | |
| [02:25] <Kamilion> and in any case; if you're not using your serial ports, you can likely just ask apt to remove or purge the setserial package. | |
| [02:25] <Kamilion> Doesn't look like anything in the base ubuntu image requires it -- at least, it's not installed by default on my lubuntu image. | |
| [02:25] <Kamilion> have you done a dist-upgrade recently? | |
| [02:25] <Kamilion> so old packages are removed? | |
| [02:26] <Kamilion> or just repeated apt-get upgrade? | |
| [02:26] <woof> nope | |
| [02:26] <Kamilion> try 'apt update && apt full-upgrade' | |
| [02:26] <Kamilion> see what the prompt offers for you. | |
| [02:26] <woof> i usually try update thru synaptic and its been buggy | |
| [02:27] <Kamilion> ahh, no wonder. | |
| [02:27] <Kamilion> update-manager does a better job at keeping track of adding and removing packages than synaptic; often synaptic won't try to remove old stuff | |
| [02:28] <Kamilion> looks like you might be able to resolve your problem with apt-get remove setserial | |
| [02:28] <woof> subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | |
| [02:28] <woof> Errors were encountered while processing: | |
| [02:28] <woof> setserial | |
| [02:28] <woof> some other stuff pasted from terminal | |
| [02:29] <Unit193> Someone needs to provide more in a pastebin. | |
| [02:40] <woof> whats a good terminal to install? | |
| [02:40] <woof> xterm is not good on this laptop | |
| [02:59] <ianorlyn> woof: I personally like sakura | |
| [03:00] <ianorlyn> it gives more space on the command line and is configurable by right click | |
| [03:00] <woof> ill try it | |
| [03:08] <woof> i tried the commands from Kamilion and there are errors permission denied, are you root? | |
| [03:08] <ianorlyn> woof: which commands ? | |
| [03:09] <woof> apt-get remove setserial 'apt update && apt full-upgrade | |
| [03:10] <ianorlyn> woof: you need sudo to use superuser permsionn to install or remove softare | |
| [03:10] <woof> i type sudo at the front | |
| [03:11] <ianorlyn> in front of each apt one other than apt-cache usually | |
| [03:11] <ianorlyn> as it needs to run each as superuser | |
| [03:12] <woof> ill run the last cmd separately | |
| [03:15] <woof> running autoremove | |
| [03:17] <woof> its in a loop generating grub configuration file | |
| [03:18] <Kamilion> removing old kernel images | |
| [03:18] <Kamilion> each time it runs the loop, one kernel has gone away... | |
| [03:18] <woof> cool it finished | |
| [03:18] <Kamilion> one time I had one that had ~40 kernels to autoremove | |
| [03:19] <Kamilion> one of the downsides of having / and /boot on the same btrfs... ehehehehe... | |
| [03:20] <woof> ok | |
| [03:20] <ianorlyn> Kamilion: on btrfs is there something you need for isntalls alongside btrfs to add that isntall to the grub menu? | |
| [03:20] <Kamilion> now installing gparted should go OK | |
| [03:20] <Kamilion> ianorlin: nope, 'recent' mkgrub-whatever stuff knows about btrfs if it has a /boot | |
| [03:21] <Kamilion> the only thing that's a good idea to have is btrfs-tools package so initramfs-tools complains that fsck.btrfs doesn't exist. | |
| [03:21] <woof> says its already the newest version | |
| [03:22] <woof> so i run gparted and it says its not installed | |
| [03:24] <woof> restart and try | |
| [03:30] <woof> have installed sakura seems much better :D | |
| [03:33] <woof> what cmd should i use to run gparted, it still says not installed | |
| [03:40] <Kamilion> woof: gparted shows up in the System Tools menu. | |
| [03:40] <Kamilion> gparted-pkexec seems to be what the shortcut tries to execute. | |
| [03:41] <woof> run that in terminal, i cant see it in system tools | |
| [03:42] <Kamilion> or gksudo gparted | |
| [03:43] <woof> damn more errors | |
| [03:44] <woof> cant believe this | |
| [03:49] <woof> its not even my laptop its my wifes. most fustrating esp since its the win8 partition that i need gparted for | |
| [03:50] <woof> its a bugged uefi and booting any usb is a total nightmare | |
| [04:02] <woof> when i run gparted now i get /usr/share/themes/Lubuntu-dark-panel/gtk-2.0/apps/thunar.rc:55: error: invalid string constant "thunar-statusbar", expected valid string constant | |
| [04:22] <Kamilion> does the window come up? | |
| [04:22] <Kamilion> i get a lot of those warning/error messages when I run GUI apps in a terminal. | |
| [04:33] <woof> running software updater now | |
| [04:37] <woof> I cant find any gparted shortcuts even though its installed | |
| [04:38] <ianorlyn> woof: have you tried launching it in applications in pcmanfm? | |
| [04:38] <woof> cant find it there | |
| [04:41] <woof> it always gives the error in terminal /usr/share/themes/Lubuntu-dark-panel/gtk-2.0/apps/thunar.rc:55: error: invalid string constant "thunar-statusbar", expected valid string constant | |
| [04:42] <ianorlyn> woof: that is a theme bug and not related to being unable to launch gparted | |
| [04:42] <woof> ahh ok | |
| [04:43] <woof> software centre shows it instaleled, ill try reinstall it | |
| [04:46] <woof> gonna come back to this after some food :) | |
| [05:22] <woof> ah yes now it reinstalled and shows in the system tools, and it works :D | |
| [05:23] <woof> thanks you for your help | |
| [05:25] <Kamilion> mmhm | |
| [05:25] <Kamilion> here's some more advice | |
| [05:25] <Kamilion> sudo apt-get install wajig | |
| [05:25] <woof> yes | |
| [05:25] <Kamilion> wajig dailyupgrade | |
| [05:25] <Kamilion> (wajig will ask you if it needs to sudo.) | |
| [05:26] <Kamilion> I <3 wajig. | |
| [05:26] <Kamilion> best debian shortcut ever | |
| [05:26] <woof> ill look it up | |
| [05:29] <woof> I gtg now thanks again really happy to get it fixed | |
| [18:18] <Testing> Hello. | |
| [19:04] <Obituaryy> hi | |
| [19:04] <Obituaryy> my lubuntu sometines crushes when i listen to music or see films, anybody please could tell me why, thanks in advance | |
| [19:05] <ianorlyn> Obituaryy: what program are you using to listen to music or films audicaous gnome-mplayer? | |
| [19:05] <ianorlyn> youtube? | |
| [19:05] <Obituaryy> qmmp for music and vlc for video | |
| [19:06] <ianorlyn> ah ok which format are the files you are playing | |
| [19:07] <leszek> Obituaryy: check ram with memcheck on a live system. | |
| [19:07] <Obituaryy> do i have to install it? | |
| [19:07] <Obituaryy> i am running live now becouse i had peppermint and i dont like too much | |
| [19:08] <leszek> nope it is on the live media already you need to start it from the live boot menu | |
| [19:08] <ianorlyn> leszek: I think it is also installed as an option on grub | |
| [19:08] <Obituaryy> ok, let me see, thanks a lot, its maybe a ram problem then? becouse i install it and reinstall it all the time and its the same problem | |
| [19:09] <leszek> ianorlyn: never saw this on ubuntu based distros | |
| [19:09] <Obituaryy> me either but it happens me a lot, all the time and dont know why | |
| [19:09] <ianorlyn> leszek: I do but only because I have multiple linux installs in a dual boot | |
| [19:09] <leszek> Obituaryy: it might be ram. It could be the graphics driver aswell. Its hard to tell with such vague error report | |
| [19:10] <Obituaryy> how i iniciate memcheck | |
| [19:10] <Obituaryy> do i have to iniciate in a shell? | |
| [19:11] <Obituaryy> i know how it its, its from outside, before entering the so i think | |
| [19:11] <Obituaryy> ? | |
| [19:14] <Obituaryy> thanks a lot for you help | |
| [22:16] <tsimonq2> Can someone please make this possible in Lubuntu? XD https://debarshiray.wordpress.com/2015/09/10/google-drive-and-gnome-6-years-later/ | |
| [23:24] <Kamilion> tsimonq2: it'll be possible as soon as gnome pulls that changeset. Probably 16.04 bound, though, since the freeze is already at hand. | |
| [23:32] <tsimonq2> Kamilion: I thought Lubuntu didn't have a feature freeze(at least that is what phillw told me)! | |
| [23:32] * Kamilion laughs | |
| [23:33] <Kamilion> just because the lubuntu team doesn't enforce it doesn't mean the canonical-run repositories are not run in that manner, outside of their direct control. | |
| [23:33] <tsimonq2> phillw! | |
| [23:33] <tsimonq2> Oh wait, he isn't in here | |
| [23:33] <tsimonq2> Someone bother him over at #phillw! | |
| [23:33] <tsimonq2> XD | |
