I'm just searching around for how to get bars that move based on how loud my music is on the side of my screen, you know the ones. Any programs any of you know off the top of your head? I've been looking with no luck

hello everyone. i'm trying to install latest version of lutris so I can manage may games on ubuntu 12.04 but it depends on python3-gi and it won't install
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:03:05
whats wrong with that lightdm
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:03:14
I still dont understand much about display packages
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:03:21
are they developed by different people
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:03:25
is this gnome the official?
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:03:33
which is the best?
Bashing-om 2017-02-22 18:04:54
j4f-shredder: ' sudo lshw -C display ' in the configuration line is a driver shown ?
elias_a 2017-02-22 18:08:00
nores: If it really is 12.04 it has no support any more. Could that be the reason for python not installing?
elias_a 2017-02-22 18:08:23
nores: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
elias_a 2017-02-22 18:08:57
nores: What is the output apt-get gives you?
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:09:06
Bashing-om: Im just installing gnome as suggested
nores 2017-02-22 18:09:08
elias_a, yes it is. but i though there could be an unofficial python3 repository, ppa or something..
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:09:16
and I will pick it over this light
GreeningGalaxy 2017-02-22 18:09:34
I'm trying to run Ubuntu MATE on an RPi3 and it keeps freezing solid at seemingly random times and leaving no way to recover but cycling the power.
elias_a 2017-02-22 18:09:51
nores: Well I would just update to following LTS.
GreeningGalaxy 2017-02-22 18:09:57
I know it's not the hardware or SD card because I've tried it on several different brand new instances of each and hit the same problem every time
GreeningGalaxy 2017-02-22 18:10:57
journalctl -xe is showing a service called brltty.service or something breaking
GreeningGalaxy 2017-02-22 18:11:09
any idea what this is?
dimisdas 2017-02-22 18:12:10
GreeningGalaxy: Braille device support
GreeningGalaxy 2017-02-22 18:12:42

j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:13:44
Hey, I just install gnome and selected gdm as the visualizer but it's not working
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:13:52
it stays at the ubuntu screen with the green dots
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:14:08
I've been having serious trouble to make this work today
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:14:21
I had to reinstall ubuntu, lost all my data and now this, really frustrated
dimisdas 2017-02-22 18:15:23
GreeningGalaxy: you can remove it, if you don't rely on accessibility features
dimisdas 2017-02-22 18:15:30

j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:15:51

j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:16:56

j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:16:59
and Im stuck with this
GreeningGalaxy 2017-02-22 18:18:32
I've just disabled it for now, no freeze yet, but bluetooth audio is cutting in and out
GreeningGalaxy 2017-02-22 18:18:43
that's probably not ubuntu's fault though, bluetooth is terrible
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:18:56
GreeningGalaxy:
Zythyr 2017-02-22 18:18:57
Need help. I created a Samba share that allows guest to access the share for read/write. When guest create any documents in the share, it has the permission of nobody:nogroup and it is set to 755. How can I make sure the permissions are 777
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:19:04
do you know how to correct the gnome
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:19:13
its freezes on login screen
GreeningGalaxy 2017-02-22 18:20:26
No, I know exactly zilch about GNOME. It's one of my subjects of least knowledge in Linux. I abandoned GNOME about when GNOME 3 came out and never came back.
GreeningGalaxy 2017-02-22 18:21:15
with the exception of relatives like MATE (and more distant ones like xfce and lxde) I'm a KDE lass.
Bashing-om 2017-02-22 18:22:35
j4f-shredder: What results at the login screen key combo ctl+alt+F1 ; can you log into the system at this terminal ?
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:23:54
No, I tried to do changes from grub advanced options, the recovery mode
B105PH3RE 2017-02-22 18:23:58
Zythyr: create mask = 777 in the smb.conf for the share

j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:24:12
I tried to pick again lightdm without any luck
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:24:23

B105PH3RE 2017-02-22 18:25:16

j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:25:44
but in recovery mode
B105PH3RE 2017-02-22 18:26:01

Bashing-om 2017-02-22 18:26:19
j4f-shredder: That is not what I requested, this is th 3rd time I have attempted to assist . If you will not follow my thought process I can not help .
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:27:06
the only thing I can do is go to grub->advanced options->recovery mode->root shell prompt
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:27:10
and then throw your command
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:27:52

j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:28:52

j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 18:28:57
