[00:49] <locodir-user> hi
[06:59] <YoBoY> bonjour
[14:12] <mhall119> good morning and happy new year
[15:14] <YoBoY> from our last party in Paris http://youtu.be/ZekqMtODwPI
[15:21] <daker> woo very nice
[18:15] <wassim> salem :)


[00:02] <genii> ..seems not
[05:10] <sudobash> think I could get my ban removed? it's been an awfully long time...
[05:10] <sudobash> I don't even remember what it was over anymore
[05:11] <sudobash> so I'm betting no one else does either unless you keep some sort of obsessive compulsive list of grievances which I entirely wouldn't put past any of you...
[05:12] <sudobash> any ideas why it is still active and never released after years?
[05:13] <sudobash> I find it highly unlikely no one is active here...
[05:15] <sudobash> Or should I got to the UbuntuIrcCouncil about this issue regarding willful negligence?
[05:16] <sudobash> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcCouncil ?
[05:16] <sudobash> Seems a lot like discrimination to me...
[05:46] <sudobash74> any answer?


[03:14] <lisbeths> how can I remove a package and it's dependencies without messing up my depenency tree. Like say if I want to uninstall libre office writer
[03:18] <kadiro> lisbeths, If you have no ppa i don't think you will mess with dependencies
[03:22] <lisbeths> The last time I tried to google how to uninstall a package and all it's dependencies I ended up getting a command that deleted dependencies from other packages
[03:23] <well_laid_lawn> try uninstalling a package then removing orphans
[03:25] <lisbeths> so lets say my package is nano. I can sudo apt-get autoremove nano and it will remove nano and all the orphaned nano apckages correct?
[03:45] <krytarik> lisbeths: Except that the 'autoremove' command doesn't take a package name as an argument, instead it'd be more like: "sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove <package>"
[03:58] <lisbeths> I'll try it out on a virtual machine and see if it works thank you
[07:53] <xubuntu27w> I've done a fresh install of Xubuntu 19.04 in VirtualBox using the mini.iso and selecting the Xubuntu minimal desktop option.  Clicking on any application returns the error:
[07:54] <xubuntu27w> Failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/exo-1/exo-helper-1" (No such file or directory).
[07:55] <xubuntu27w> I'm curious if anyone else has run into this issue and if I should file a bug
[07:55] <xubuntu27w> Installing libexo-1-0 fixes the issue
[08:00] <brainwash> xubuntu27w: I've seen that one being mentioned before
[08:02] <brainwash> https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892010
[08:26] <xubuntu27w> cool. Thanks .
[08:27] <xubuntu27w> As long as it is known.   Kind of a bummer to get on a fresh install but definitely able to be worked around
[09:25] <Bodeh> Hello! Need help: trying to reinstall nvidia drivers in text mode via apt-get, but proccess is freeze on extract nvidia-dkms-418. How to stop it correct and reinstall?
[11:11] <Bodeh> Anybody home?
[11:12] <knome> no.
[11:12] <knome> we are all hiding in the closet
[11:13] <Bodeh> pity
[16:28] <xub-_-> Hi, bonjour!
[16:29] <diogenes_> hi
[16:29] <xub-_-> i've made a fresh install next to W10, everything works great.
[16:30] <diogenes_> that's expected.
[16:30] <xub-_-> I have a question: how do you remove the name (of the last login) on the connection page?
[16:31] <xub-_-> I'd like to have no name there.
[16:32] <diogenes_> you mean on lightdm?
[16:33] <xub-_-> probably that is the name
[16:34] <xub-_-> I couldn't find the configuration for that - no option to hide the (last) user name.
[16:35] <diogenes_> xub-_-, so you have several users who use the computer right? and you want make that user login field blank?
[16:35] <xub-_-> yes
[16:37] <diogenes_> xub-_-,  you have to edit this file: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[16:37] <diogenes_> uncomment the line:  greeter-hide-users=true
[16:37] <diogenes_> save, close, reboot
[16:38] <diogenes_> xub-_-, also uncomment this one:  greeter-show-manual-login = True
[16:42] <xub-_-> merci. But no such file. I do have /etc/lightdm/users.conf with hidden-users=nobody nobody4 noaccess
[16:43] <xub-_-> and user-background = false
[16:44] <diogenes_> xub-_-, ok i forot in xubuntu they do things a bit different, run: ls /etc/lightdm | nc termbin.com 9999
[16:44] <diogenes_> share the link here
[16:47] <xub-_-> termbin.com/vvet
[16:48] <diogenes_> and the output of: ls /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d | nc termbin.com 9999
[16:49] <xub-_-> it's empty
[16:50] <diogenes_> ok then: cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf | nc termbin.com 9999
[16:53] <xub-_-> termbin.com/c8fn
[16:56] <diogenes_> saint iGNUssius knows where xubuntu stores the lightdm.conf, try to look for it using this command: find / -type f 2>/dev/null | grep --color=always lightdm.conf
[17:02] <xub-_-> danke diogenes_
[17:04] <Dragon1964> good days people, I just installed 19.04 on my laptop, working great. I did notice though that it defaulted to the proprietary nvdiai driver instead of the free one, is that a bug or a new default? working great though just curious
[18:51] <qwebirc27485> I'm having trouble with logging in through the gui
[18:51] <qwebirc27485> I think I'm stuck in a bootloop
[18:54] <qwebirc27485> Hello? Anyone can help?
[18:55] <qwebirc27485> I'm having trouble logging in through the gui
[18:55] <qwebirc27485> I type my password in and it reverts back to the login screen
[20:35] <rebab> Hello when I turn on my computer XFCE panel doesn't start. I temporary fixed this by pressing "CTRL+ALT+F1" and "CTRL+ALT+F6". It works but every time I turn on my pc I am doing this. I am tired of this. How can I fix it?


[11:44] <penguin42> hmm, has anyone seen actual tariff numbers for the bill cap rise?
[11:46] <zxmpi_> if they released numbers an army of accounts would march on no.10 :-)
[11:47] <zxmpi_> *accountants
[11:48] <penguin42> oh well, there are numbers https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications/default-tariff-cap-level-1-october-2022-31-december-2022
[11:48] <penguin42> from ym reading of those it corresponds to about 50p/kWh elec, 14p for gas
[14:35] <diddledani> penguin42: https://chng.it/L5vWPFkkdS
[14:40] <penguin42> diddledani: Pretty useless until they have some ideas
[14:40] <diddledani> this is true. also the tories won't ever do anything helpful about it
[14:41] <penguin42> well, they are the first to have actually started a nuclear build in decades, not going to help this winter though
[14:41] <penguin42> and they also managed to sign up tidal power to the grid in the last auction - not much yet though
[14:42] <penguin42> wind is just useless for this
