[00:13] <dim_wit> After updates today (kernel and Firefox) I don't have GUI login only tty. I have tried several things without result.Any help or direction appreciated.

[00:32] <metasansana> /var/log/syslog
[00:33] <dim_wit> yes I did
[00:33] <metasansana> nothing unusual?
[00:33] <dim_wit> the only thing I see is could not write bytes: Pipe broken
[00:34] <metasansana> pastebin it

[00:37] <dim_wit> okay thank you I will get started on this
[00:40] <metasansana> dim_wit: also did you try typing light-dm from the tty?
[00:41] <dim_wit> no, I changed the conf. for light-dm but didn't think of that, I just used startx
[00:48] <dim_wit> Okay here is syslog I think. http://paste2.org/p/1904431
[00:51] <metasansana> are you running xfce or gnome as your display manager?
[00:53] <c_smith> How can I check free PCI slots from a liveCD of Xubuntu on my desktop (I'm running my Notebook PC)?
[00:55] <dim_wit> gnome
[00:57] <dim_wit> I'm going to try light-dm from tty . thanks I'll be back
[01:18] <dim_wit> Thank you metasansana! I was able to login using sudo lightdm.  I notice at startup GNOME Display Manager starts and stops but light-dm only stopped.
[01:19] <metasansana> I saw in your error logs, something about gdm executable not being found
[01:19] <metasansana> sorry
[01:20] <metasansana> this is the exact line:
[01:20] <metasansana> WARNING: Unable to load file '/etc/gdm/custom.conf': No such file or directory
[01:21] <metasansana> you might want to check that out
[01:21] <dim_wit> I may have messed something up with some of my fixes:)
[01:22] <dim_wit> I'll concentrate on gdm and try to put things back in order. Thank you very much for your time and help.
[01:23] <metasansana> No problem
[01:23] <dim_wit> goodbye
[01:23] <metasansana> ciao
[01:56] <Anthony_> i just installed and im grub> prompt what do i do
[01:58] <Anthony_> is anyone there
[02:07] <Anthony_> hello
[02:09] <sp4z> hi
[02:11] <Anthony_> i just installed xubuntu and i restarted and im at grub prompt what do i do
[02:13] <sp4z> rtfm?
[02:13] <Anthony_> what
[02:13] <sp4z> press enter
[02:13] <Anthony_> just makes another line
[02:14] <Anthony_> with grub prompt
[02:14] <Unit193> That's a bad sign, seems as if it may not be finding your config.
[02:14] <sp4z> did you mark drive as bootable?
[02:14] <Unit193> !grub |I know it's in here.
[02:41] <Anthony_> can you help me plz
[02:43] <jfr> what is Anthony_
[02:44] <jfr> ?
[02:44] <Anthony_> i just did these commands https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[02:45] <Anthony_> now i see (initramfs)
[02:47] <Anthony_> brb
[02:50] <Shirakawasuna> I got notify-osd updated and now there's an extra mail icon in the indicator area that eats up all of the notifications. Anyone else have this?
[02:52] <Anthony_> ok im back
[02:52] <Anthony_> so what do i do
[02:56] <Anthony_> hello
[02:59] <sp4z> Anthony_, you may find it easier to simply reinstall the system from scratch
[02:59] <Anthony_> thats what i did
[03:00] <sp4z> how many times?
[03:00] <Anthony_> several
[03:00] <Anthony_> and i fromat and start over this father i ve gottoen
[03:02] <sp4z> interesting - does standard ubuntu work for you?
[03:03] <Anthony_> i just installed xubuntu,  did these commands https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 and now i get this now i see (initramfs)
[03:03] <Anthony_> no
[03:05] <sp4z> xubuntu is fairly straight foward to install you shouldn't need to enter those commands.. i would suggest either trying to use ubuntu-server and see if you can get that up and running on your hardware OR standard ubuntu
[03:05] <Anthony_> tried that dosent work
[03:07] <sp4z> tried what?
[03:08] <Anthony_> stanard ubuntu
[03:10] <sp4z> what problem were you experiencing with that?

[03:14] <sp4z> ?
[03:14] <Anthony_> no in xbuntu i got  grub>
[03:15] <Anthony_> so i was told put those commands in  and got latest erro
[03:18] <sp4z> sorry its over my head then, perhaps try a server install see if you can get a cli from that?
[03:41] <Anthony_> can anyone help me

[06:42] <Marzata> :)
[08:28] <jrmy> what version of xubuntu is out now?
[08:28] <jrmy> ah.. nvm
[08:29] <Marzata> jrmy: there are always two.
[08:30] <jrmy> I know x.04 and x.10
[08:30] <Marzata> no
[08:30] <jrmy> then what do you mean by two?
[08:31] <well_laid_lawn> !12.4
[08:32] <jrmy> 12 is out for distrobution?
[08:32] <well_laid_lawn> no it'll be the development version
[08:32] <well_laid_lawn> !12.04
[08:32] <jrmy> anyways just finished my installation.. either way I probably have a while before I'm up to date with the newest version
[08:33] <Marzata> now there are only two
[08:34] <Marzata> 10.04 LTS and 11.10
[09:45] <Jao-1-BR> Hi guys, this is my firts time here
[09:46] <Jao-1-BR> So firts, i wanna say a BIG TNX to all;
[10:29] <Culiforge> Is there a reason/cause for the acpi=off at boot time? I didnt' need it on a 10.04 installation, what's the issue that I need it on 11.10? Same system
[12:49] <csenger41> hy
[12:49] <csenger41> anyone here? I'd need urgent help
[12:57] <TheSheep> csenger41: you need to ask a question and if anybody knows, they will answer
[13:05] <csenger41> I've made 5 partitions on my HDD and now the comp refuses to start up
[13:05] <csenger41> Windows 7 + Xubuntu installed
[13:06] <csenger41> 3 NTFS partitions + SWAP + EXT4
[13:08] <csenger41> made 2 NTFS at Win7 install, another 2 at Xubuntu and left an empty partition that was made NTFS after Xubuntu install finished and went back to Win7
[13:08] <csenger41> after that the whole comp died
[13:55] <gargamel> Hi
[13:56] <baizon> hi hi
[17:52] <goathouse774> Hello
[17:55] <goathouse774> O,
[17:56] <goathouse774> I'm looking for help transitioning from a windows pc to a linux/xubuntu pc.
[17:56] <goathouse774> I have a pc with 512 ram and a 3000+ amd sempron cpu.
[17:56] <goathouse774> and it's very slow a the moment
[17:56] <bazhang> xubuntu, or lubuntu with that amount of ram
[17:57] <goathouse774> I've been recommended both
[17:57] <charlie-tca> Try the live cd first, without installing, to make sure it works
[17:57] <charlie-tca> If it works, installation will be faster than the live session
[17:57] <goathouse774> ok.  how would I go about making a live cd?
[17:58] <goathouse774> and what should I watch out for when installing it?
[17:58] <charlie-tca> download the desktop cd. burn the image to a blank cd-r. It is already a live cd
[17:58] <charlie-tca> The catch is "do not copy the image". You burn it as an image.
[17:58] <goathouse774> I'm comfortable burning images
[17:59] <goathouse774> Do you have a link?
[17:59] <charlie-tca> http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
[17:59] <charlie-tca> I suggest using 11.10, since it is the latest.
[18:00] <goathouse774> and you don't think lubuntu would be a better choice?
[18:00] <goathouse774> I guess I'll just try it and see, eh?
[18:00] <charlie-tca> I can not honestly say.
[18:00] <charlie-tca> with 512mb ram, either one should work
[18:01] <charlie-tca> with less than that, I would go try Lubuntu first
[18:01] <goathouse774> by the sounds of things, ubuntu is more resource-intensive than many forms of windows
[18:01] <Unit193> Processor is what I'd look at here, and you can check both to see what you like better.
[18:01] <goathouse774> I wouldn't have guessed that
[18:06] <goathouse774> I've heard that one of the biggest challenges switching to linux is getting the correct drivers and making all the components work.  should I expect headaches in this area?
[18:06] <charlie-tca> You should expect all drivers to install on their own
[18:06] <charlie-tca> Unlike windows, we include the drivers for you
[18:06] <goathouse774> for everything?
[18:07] <charlie-tca> yup
[18:07] <goathouse774> wouldn't that be a huge file?
[18:07] <goathouse774> or does it download the drivers per machine?
[18:07] <charlie-tca> Biggest mistake installing Linux ... grabbing drivers and trying to install them the way you do in windows
[18:09] <Unit193> Quite. There are only a few things unsupported, and a few you have to use "jockey" to install due to the license.
[18:10] <charlie-tca> For new users, it is easiest to say they are built-in, please do not download drivers from the internet
[18:11] <goathouse774> I wont
[19:20] <rubbs> can anyone tell me why I'm having trouble getting a terminal bell to sound? I have edited ~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc, and set the Bell to TRUE.
[19:21] <Unit193> rubbs: You're not going to get that bell, just saving you time.
[19:22] <rubbs> :(
[19:22] <rubbs> that's a full stop problem when using irssi
[19:23] <Unit193> Not really, give me a sec.
[19:23] <Unit193> http://jonathanbeluch.com/blog/2011/03/remote-notify-irssi-screen/
[19:23] <rubbs> interesting, I'll take a look
[19:23] <rubbs> thanks
[19:23] <Unit193> That's actually far better, a bell would get a little annoying, and that says contents.
[19:24] <rubbs> the bell didn't bother me, but this might work better anyway. Thanks. I'll see about setting this up
[19:25] <rubbs> just curious, was there a reason that xfce doesn't catch the xbell stuff?
[19:26] <Unit193> Global bell was disabled in 30 different ways I'm convinced, I've only tried about 9 different ones (really).
[19:27] <rubbs> darn.
[19:27] <rubbs> ok, good to know.
[20:01] <artao> hai all
[20:02] <artao> i'm wondering. how 'involved' would it be for me to install KDE to try out for awhile? I just want the interface, not all the extra crap that comes with full KDE installs
[20:03] <artao> running Ubuntu Studio 11.10, which uses XFCE so I guess it's basically Xubuntu ...
[20:09] <charlie-tca> The only way to try the desktop is install all the extra crap they require for it to run
[20:09] <charlie-tca> almost better off to try running the live session instead
[20:10] <artao> yeah, i did try a couple live distros with kde and, while i liked the interface, all the extra crap made it feel a bit 'heavy'
[20:11] <artao> but u say all that stuff is req'd? ohwell
[20:11] <hobgoblin> artao: kde-plasma-desktop I think  - installs about 320MB of stuff - I'd be inclined not to personally :)
[20:12] <artao> i'm mostly liking xfce, but .. well, i don't know ... just some nice 'windows-y' features in kde i liked ... i was JUST getting used to Win 7 when i wiped my drive to install linux
[20:13] <artao> i see ....
[20:13] <hobgoblin> but of course - it's your choice
[20:13] <artao> but, i can always uninstall it later, no?  currently i've got xfce and E17 installed ... so installing kde would just add another entry to my login screen, ??
[20:14] <hobgoblin> yea - shouldn't cause a problem removing it - just keep the LONG list of things to remove
[20:14] <artao> decided i don't like the direction enlightenment has taken since i last used it ... xfce is indeed light and snappy =]
[20:14] <artao> >heh< long indeed
[20:15] <hobgoblin> it is - I came to it more or less a year ago now
[20:15] <artao> will consider further then. just kinda wanted to make sure i wouldn't borque my system ..
[20:15] <hobgoblin> shouldn't - be you should have backups anyway
[20:16] <artao> i'd last used xfce maybe 6 - 8 yrs ago. i like where it's going.
[20:16] <artao> backup, of course =]
[20:16] <artao> thx
[20:17] <artao> oh, wait!! one more query ... sooo WHICH kde entry would i choose in Syanptic to 'get it all in one go' ?
[20:17] <hobgoblin> if you wanted it ALL then kubuntu-desktop
[20:18] <artao> heh .. well, lookin in Synaptic right now .. the 'obvious' choice is 'kde-full' .. but i know 'obvious' can be deceptive
[20:18] <hobgoblin> which is a reaaally long list
[20:19] <hobgoblin> artao: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE
[20:19] <artao> but! i DO see in the list also 'kde-plasma-destop' which has description of "KDE Plasma Desktop and minimal set of applications' ... i likez that word 'minimal'
[20:19] <hobgoblin> :)
[20:20] <hobgoblin> I'm not the best person to talk about kubuntu - I install it maybe once every 9 months or so for a look that lasts about half an hour
[20:20] <artao> fair nuf
[20:21] <artao> i imagine there's a #kde out there as well ;]
[20:21] <Unit193> #kubuntu would be good to ask though.
[20:21] <charlie-tca> I do better then that. I install Kubuntu every 6 months to test it
[20:21] <hobgoblin> but those are the packages to install - keep the list and you should be ok
[20:21] <hobgoblin> charlie-tca: :)
[20:21] <charlie-tca> I would try asking in #kubuntu
[20:21] <hobgoblin> +1
[20:21] <artao> k thx
[20:22] <hobgoblin> artao: what I would do is decide which you want then run apt-get install from a terminal and keep the output somewhere
[20:28] <artao> sounds good guys. thx =]
[20:44] <vandal-> hi, how can i set midori as default browser? i cant see such option inside the browser. xubuntu latest version, midori also latest.
[20:45] <charlie-tca> Settings Manager -> Preferred applications, you will need to click other and tell it where to find midori
[20:45] <vandal-> you got it, thanks
[20:53] <eduardo> hi
[20:53] <baizon> hello eduardo
[20:56] <eduardo> Sorry for my english, but I need help with my monitor configuration
[20:57] <eduardo> I have installed  Xubuntu 11.10 with nvidia drivers
[20:59] <eduardo> Everything is ok but frecuency monitor in Screen option is different from nvidia x server settings
[21:01] <eduardo> In nvidia x server settings my monitor has a frequency of 75 Hz but in Screen (Configuration in Xubuntu) it has a frequency of 50 Hz
[21:03] <eduardo> nobody with the same problem?
[21:05] <charlie-tca> If it is using the nvidia driver, it uses the freq listing in nvidia settings, as far as I know
[21:07] <eduardo> ok, thanks charlie-tca.  But I do not understand because it occurs.
[21:08] <charlie-tca> Yeah, I don't know why they won't always agree, either.
[21:48] <dutch> halllooo?
[21:48] <TheSheep> !hi dutch
[21:48] <TheSheep> !hi > dutch
[21:49] <dutch> can you help me
[21:50] <dutch> ?
[21:51] <charlie-tca> Please tell us what the question/problem is, as accurate as possible.
[21:51] <dutch> oke
[21:52] <charlie-tca> We are all volunteers, and if anyone can help, they will. But they have to know what the problem is first.
[21:53] <dutch> i have a asus eee pc and i instal today xubuntu 11.10 but now i have a issue i wanne have a program like silverlight (moonlight i but dont work) for my ubunt and what will work on firefox 7.x
[21:53] <charlie-tca> I don't think silverlight is supported anymore, but maybe moonlight with wine?
[21:54] <charlie-tca> !silverlight
[21:54] <charlie-tca> or try that?
[21:54] <charlie-tca> 11.10 should have firefox version 10 now
[21:55] <knome> afaik moonlight is dead
[21:55] <knome> and there's little hopes sliverlight would work
[21:55] <dutch> but i tryd look on the site of moonlight it say for firefox under 4.x
[21:57] <dutch> cant find pacggets
[21:58] <dutch> what  now
[22:00] <dutch> hello?
[22:00] <charlie-tca> run sudo apt-get update again?
[22:02] <dutch> noo
[22:11] <freec> is simple scan the best scanning software outthere
[22:12] <freec> sorry that was impolite.... hello
[22:15] <TheSheep> I like flegita
[22:19] <dutch> ?????/
[22:22] <freec> yea the scanning with simplescan seems pretty slow but maybe thats not the softwares fault
[22:22] <freec> is the're a way of speeding scanning up?
[22:22] <metsys23> hy! i install xubuntu about 3 days ago, still in configurations, and i m curiouse about a thing: there is any option to define what happens if i move the mouse to left up corner or rigth down corner or i need to install some tool to cconfigure that?
[22:23] <knome> metsys23, no, nothing should happen with the default installation on that, and it's not configurable
[22:23] <sonic86> salve ho un problema con xubuntu devo cambiare la scheda audio predefinita con un'altra che non è predefinita come faccio?
[22:23] <knome> !it | sonic86
[22:23] <TheSheep> xubuntu doesn't booby-trap every part of the screen
[22:23] <metsys23> knome, so i must install any tool like compiz to do that?
[22:24] <knome> essentially yes
[22:24] <metsys23> knome, ok, essentially yes, but why the "essentially"? you dont advise me to do that?
[22:25] <metsys23> knome, it makes the system slow for example?
[22:25] <knome> metsys23, xfce + compiz isn't officially supported. there are some tutorials for that though. and in a way, compiz defeats the purpose of xfce
[22:25] <knome> metsys23, yeah, compiz will slow it considerably
[22:26] <metsys23> knome, yeah, you are rigth in your point, but I miss any option to, by a mouse moviment or a shortkey, minimize all open windows...
[22:27] <knome> metsys23, "show the desktop" ?
[22:27] <knome> metsys23, that's available as a panel applet at least
[22:27] <knome> metsys23, and should be able to bind a key for that too, afaik
[22:27] <charlie-tca> It should be available by clicking the left icon in the bottom panel, too

[22:46] <justakill> why is the terminal in xubuntu called terminal emulator?
[22:47] <knome> justakill, that's what it essentially is :)
[22:58] <Myrtti> oh, I was going to answer him
[22:58] <Myrtti> nevermind then
[23:26] <justakill> is the're a default key bind for the terminal?
[23:26] <justakill> in xubuntu?
[23:27] <knome> not yet
[23:28] <DinoMuffin> you could make one
[23:28] <justakill> yea that would be in settings manager keyboard right?
[23:29] <DinoMuffin> settings > settings manager > keyboard > application shortcuts
[23:30] <Marzata> in Stellarium, when press F11, to get out the full screen mode, the window lies under the panel?
[23:30] <Marzata> is this a bug?
[23:31] <justakill> do i need put exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator as command or just TerminalEmulator?
[23:34] <justakill> i guess so
[23:35] <ChristopherNg> !needhelpnow
[23:35] <charlie-tca> justakill: the proper command is
[23:35] <ChristopherNg> Basically, my problem is that im trying to send an Ip message
[23:35] <charlie-tca> xfce4-terminal
[23:35] <ChristopherNg> message over IP
[23:35] <ChristopherNg> hey charlie-tca!
[23:35] <justakill> thanks!
[23:35] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[23:36] <ChristopherNg> charlie-tca: how did exams go?
[23:36] <charlie-tca> ChristopherNg: lp message over IP ?
[23:36] <ChristopherNg> yes
[23:36] <charlie-tca> mistaken identity, I think. I don't have exams
[23:36] <ChristopherNg> charlie-tca: you remember me?
[23:36] <charlie-tca> not really
[23:37] <ChristopherNg> well you must have amnesia! lol
[23:37] <charlie-tca> but I haven't been around much lately, either
[23:37] <charlie-tca> ?"
[23:37] <ChristopherNg> yeah we used to talk about linux all the time, but that was almost a year ago.
[23:37] <charlie-tca> Okay
[23:37] <ChristopherNg> ive been coming here on freenode for years
[23:37] <charlie-tca> I talk to too many people, and can't remember so good no more
[23:38] <ChristopherNg> yeah its not a problem
[23:38] <ChristopherNg> charlie-tca: we had a Arch v Xubuntu debate and how Xubuntu is being held hostage by the upstream project that is XFCE
[23:39] <charlie-tca> but anyway, I don't know how to send lp messages over IP
[23:40] <ChristopherNg> charlie-tca: what about kube? or what ever he is called?
[23:41] <charlie-tca> I don't know
[23:48] <steve|m> hi, I just upgraded to 12.04, and when mounting samba shares (with gigolo for example), I don't see them in ~/.gvfs anymore.. has ~/.gvfs been removed in 12.04?
[23:57] <DinoMuffin> steve|m: I don't know. 12.04 is still in development. GVFS was buggy in 11.10, however. They might still be working on it.
[23:58] <DinoMuffin> afaik

[11:05] <SiDi> meh
[11:06] <knome> ;)


[00:15] <tomreyn> gabrielmartins: if you're on (x)ubuntu 18.04 or later i think snapd is installed by default so you'd just need to run "snap install meteo" the other commands won't have done any harm, though.

[06:34] <DarkTrick> Hello
[06:34] <DarkTrick> I have a shortcut active on my system, that I don't like. Is there any easy way to figure out, which programm is running the shortcut?
[06:39] <diogenes_> DarkTrick, open it with mousepad.
[06:44] <DarkTrick> ah! sorry! I meant a keyboard shortcut
[06:44] <DarkTrick> like ctrl+shift+e
[06:44] <DarkTrick> diogenes_, ↑
[06:48] <diogenes_> DarkTrick, where do you see that shortcut?
[06:49] <DarkTrick> diogenes_, you mean, where/how does it manifest?
[06:50] <DarkTrick> diogenes_, It's Ctrl+shift+e. Everytime I press it, an "e" appears in the currently focussed textbox
[06:50] <DarkTrick> Sometimes the e is underlined (like the "u", when you start typing unicode codes in libre office)
[06:51] <diogenes_> they're defined in keyboar > application shortcuts, for wm they are in window manager > keyboard.
[06:54] <DarkTrick> diogenes_, nothing
[06:54] <DarkTrick> I guess it's another program
[06:54] <DarkTrick> But I don't know which
[06:54] <DarkTrick> so I thought, there might be some kind of list somewhere in the system, where all hooked-up shortcuts are listed
[06:56] <diogenes_> what programs you're running currently running? maybe ibus or some virtual keyboard.
[06:56] <DarkTrick> ibus
[06:56] <DarkTrick> ah
[06:58] <DarkTrick> stopping the ibus-daemon stopped the shortcut
[06:59] <DarkTrick> diogenes_, thank you :)
[06:59] <diogenes_> you're welcome
[08:44] <DarkTrick> how do I start the ibus daemon without it closing on terminal-close?
[08:44] <DarkTrick> I tried `nohup ibus-daemon &`
[08:45] <DarkTrick> but it doesnt work
[08:45] <DarkTrick> stupid :/ ibus-daemon -d
[08:45] <lighterowl> it probably has a switch for running in daemon mode.
[08:45] <lighterowl> oh.
[08:46] <lighterowl> right, -d or --daemonize
[09:14] <xubuntu62w> Hello to everyone. Im here to get some help. Im trying the last version of Xubuntu to deploy it in some computers and I need a way to do a remote desktop between them. I've seen the package x11vnc but after install it I dont know how to configure it to start it automaticly when the SO boot up (as you can see, English is not my first language, so
[09:14] <xubuntu62w> please be patient :D)
[09:16] <xubuntu62w> I followed a tutorial but the guy did it on a Linux Mint distro and the he configurerate the display manager script in /etc/mdm/Init/Default but in Xubuntu is different, but I dont know where is that script
[09:20] <lighterowl> xubuntu62w: your best bet is to make a systemd unit to start the x11vnc service at boot time. have a look here : https://askubuntu.com/questions/229989/how-to-setup-x11vnc-to-access-with-graphical-login-screen
[09:22] <lighterowl> from a security standpoint, it would be best to start x11vnc listening on localhost only (by adding -localhost to the command line) and actually access it via an SSH tunnel. but that's not directly related to what you were asking about.
[09:22] <lighterowl> (on the other hand, if you had ssh running everywhere, you could just ssh into the machine and run x11vnc if you needed to look at the desktop...)
[09:38] <xubuntu62w> Thanks for the info lighterowl but the idea is evoid the ssh connection to start it. Thanks for the link, I'm going to check it
[09:41] <xubuntu62w> avoid*


[13:41] <tomreyn> does "snap list" on 19.04 pre-releases still list a gnome package?
[14:17] <lotuspsychje> tomreyn: ask blueskaj, he's on dingo
[14:24] <tomreyn> thanks
[18:01] <hggdh> tomreyn: I have gtk-common-themes as a snap on Disco
[18:02] <OerHeks> this is introduuced with 18.04, i have that snap too
[18:02] <tomreyn> hggdh: i did a test install with the latest 19.04 pre-release build (from about a week ago) today and got https://termbin.com/5rno
[18:03] <tomreyn> not sure why you have fewer there
[18:03] <tomreyn> gnome-3-26-1604 is the one i was wondering about
[18:04] <tomreyn> this is to ensure desktop icons still show in current gnome verisons, amongst other, AFAIK.
[18:05] <tomreyn> it's also a dirty hack, IMO, and one which makes you depend on snaps (which i don't want to, i want it gone) if you run gnome.
[18:23] <hggdh> tomreyn: IDK either I have, on this laptop, both Gnome and KDE installed (running under KDE right now). But the g-c-t versions are quite different, with mine being 0.1-7-g1feddba
[18:24] <hggdh> my gnome-calculator package is also more up-to-date. I guess you are not running Disco
[18:38] <tomreyn> hggdh: i do, according to "lsb_release -ds" and to "cat /etc/os-release" and based on /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:39] <tomreyn> the build i used is dated 20190203
[18:40] <tomreyn> downloaded today from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[18:40] <tomreyn> will retry with the one form "pending"
[18:41] <tomreyn> how did you install, hggdh ?
[18:46] <hggdh> I upgraded from Cosmic
[18:47] <hggdh> and, since then, just the common full-upgrade
[18:47] <hggdh> tomreyn: so it may well be that I did not get the snaps because I already had the packages
[18:50] <tomreyn> i see
[18:53] <tomreyn> it's still a while until the release so i guess we'll see those loose ends come together yet
[18:59] <hggdh> tomreyn: also, it is probable you are getting the snaps from stable, not edge or candidate
[18:59] <hggdh> edge is at 3.31.90+git21.4a93134
[19:00] <hggdh> (for gnome-calculator)
[19:04] <tomreyn> of course, should be stable, i got a release preview
[19:07] <hggdh> tomreyn: sort of OK there, I personally do not quite like the version differences between package and snap
[19:08] <tomreyn> I personally do not quite like snap.
[19:08] <tomreyn> Or having to depend on it.
[19:10] <hggdh> I sort of like them. For example, building a raspberry setup is quite easy with snap; also, I can have -- for example -- libreoffice up-to-date.
[19:10] <hggdh> but... perhaps the deployment could be a bit more controlled
[19:11] <hggdh> another example, my pycharm-professional and clion are now snaps, and I do not need to worry about upgrading them (except for the plugins)
[19:11] <tomreyn> it's surely nice from a developer POV.
[19:12] <tomreyn> as a user, it can feel like you're getting stuff force fed
[19:12] <hggdh> yeah, quite a niche there, not really like the casual user
[19:15] <tomreyn> i have a couple issues with it, i guess the most relevant one is that it effectively undermines the security teams' oversight on what ends up on an ubuntu system
[19:16] <hggdh> that would be an interesting discussion with them
[19:16] <tomreyn> they did a great job in keeping ubuntu secure during the past years. just now you have this second, uncontrolled, way to have software installed, much or most of which is not vetted, and users have no or no good enough means to tell apart which snap they can trust and which they cant
[19:17] <tomreyn> you're right, i wont perster you more, sorry ;)
[19:17] <tomreyn> *pester
[19:17] <tomreyn> polish needed https://i.imgur.com/omhd91p.png
[19:18] <tomreyn> just to update my former report: the list of installed snaps with the latest installer snapshot remains the same
[19:19] <tomreyn> but things can change until the release
