[11:37] <xu-help57w> Hello, is this a place i can get help ?
[11:37] <coconut> it is
[11:41] <xu-help57w> Great! I just installed xubuntu 20.04.1 on my old laptop, i'm very new to Linux and don't have much knowledge when it comes to programming. Actually I'm trying to install Autodesk Maya 2019 following an online guide, but I have an error i can't figure out when it come to convert rpm packages to deb with the alien command
[11:41] <diogenes_> xu-help57w, what is autodesk for?
[11:42] <xu-help57w> Maya is a 3D application, like Blender

[11:46] <xu-help57w> this is what i get when i type the alien command
[11:47] <diogenes_> xu-help57w, you cannot expect rpm packages to work on Xubuntu.
[11:48] <xu-help57w> yes this is why i intend to convert them to deb packages
[11:50] <diogenes_> xu-help57w, you cannot expect even that to work.
[11:52] <xu-help57w> i tried the same alien command two days ago and my rpm packages were converted into deb without problems, but for an unknown reason the command wasn't working the next day
[11:52] <xu-help57w> i get this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xm66Ws3hyP/
[11:52] <diogenes_> xu-help57w, for some packages it might work for others it will never work.
[11:53] <xu-help57w> you know what other options I can have then? the only packages i can have for Maya are rpm
[11:54] <xu-help57w> and the guide i followed is specified ton install on ubuntu
[11:54] <xu-help57w> https://www.fosslinux.com/14991/install-maya-autodesk-on-ubuntu.htm
[11:56] <xu-help57w> all the solutions i found on internet tell to convert the rpm packages into deb with the alien command
[12:02] <diogenes_> xu-help57w, better would be to run the binary in a virtual machine with an rpm based distro, collect the dependecies and build a package, that requires a lot of cherry picking though.
[12:05] <xu-help57w> well it seems my knowledge are way too limited for that, thanks anyway!
[20:06] <nabukadnezar43> hello may i ask the default gtk theme and the default icon theme used in xubuntu?
[20:06] <nabukadnezar43> gtk theme is greybird light i assume, but which variant of elementary-xfce icon theme is used?
[20:08] <nabukadnezar43> sorry i'm using another distro (that's why i'm asking) but i really like the looks of xubuntu
[20:08] <diogenes_> nabukadnezar43, you find it out here by pressing 'start': https://distrotest.net/Xubuntu
[20:09] <nabukadnezar43> diogenes_, ok thanks
[20:09] <diogenes_> you're welcome
