user31241, check those ppa's, i guess you have an old howto list
user31241 2017-02-22 07:45:42
For example, current virtualbox breaks with hwe kernel and requires PPA. So, back to the question, is there a GUI sources manager application similar to one of Linux Mint?
OerHeks 2017-02-22 07:45:47
like that pepperflashppa , dead
user31241 2017-02-22 07:45:52
OerHeks: sorry what?
OerHeks 2017-02-22 07:46:20
there is a gui sources tab, to add those ppa adresses.
OerHeks 2017-02-22 07:46:25
in the latest lts.
user31241 2017-02-22 07:47:40
OerHeks: oh, they dropped the automatic blob download from that PPA. Makes it useless for me, will have to pull PPAPI by hand as usual...
BluesKaj 2017-02-22 07:48:01
basil1x, have you checked additional drivers ?
OerHeks 2017-02-22 07:48:21
user31241, flash is dead, disabled by default
user31241 2017-02-22 07:48:35
OerHeks: Its not, its cool and its usable
user31241 2017-02-22 07:48:50
OerHeks: PPAPI works fine with Firefox on Ubuntu and Gentoo
user31241 2017-02-22 07:48:58
and Debian
user31241 2017-02-22 07:49:55
OerHeks: I dislike HTML5 for applications. Flash data is self-contained downloadable blob. HTML5 is all over the site. For just videos HTML5 is fine.
basil1x 2017-02-22 07:50:40
BluesKaj, Checking that now. But why would it be working and suddenly stop?
k1l 2017-02-22 07:51:16
ubuntu got the adobe flashplugin installer. no need for that pepperflash stuff
BluesKaj 2017-02-22 07:51:58
basil1x, did you update and upgrade your packages ?
k1l 2017-02-22 07:52:02
user31241: no there is no gui ppa manager.
user31241 2017-02-22 07:52:57
k1l: adobe flashplugin installer pulls NPAPI flash, which was a lot outdated, but only refreshed recently - and is buggy. PPAPI works and worked like charm.

what is the easiest/thinest web proxy you can have to just redirect 80 and 443 to other ports?
basil1x 2017-02-22 07:53:21
Not for a few days, Bl

NVM... going to up to 16.10 and see if that sorts it. Was going to do anyway, so might as well be now.

did the recent kernel update break sound for anyone else?

i downloaded a program, and i added the program to my path env, but how can i make a command to launch its program without having go to it its folder and execute by full pathname?
craptalk 2017-02-22 08:01:48
i put my program folder on /usr/bin
craptalk 2017-02-22 08:01:54
i added new path on my /etc/environment
bekks 2017-02-22 08:01:54
craptalk: And did you source that file after changing it?
k1l 2017-02-22 08:01:54
craptalk: user programs can be put into ~/bin
basil1x 2017-02-22 08:01:54
BluesKaj, I'm hoping 16.10 will fix it. «fingers crossed» If not, I'll use the drivers from the nvidia website. Not ideal, but tired of futzing with it.
k1l 2017-02-22 08:02:03
craptalk: and to make it work you need to source the .bashrc or relogin
craptalk 2017-02-22 08:02:04
so can you tell me the step by step?
craptalk 2017-02-22 08:02:08
am i missing something?
bekks 2017-02-22 08:02:24
craptalk: Log out completely, log back in, done.
craptalk 2017-02-22 08:02:31
so i should just move the dir to ~/bin?
bekks 2017-02-22 08:02:48
craptalk: No.
bekks 2017-02-22 08:02:58
craptalk: < bekks> craptalk: Log out completely, log back in, done.
craptalk 2017-02-22 08:03:23
bekks: lets say i did what you asked, but how can i customize the command to lauch it?
bekks 2017-02-22 08:03:47
craptalk: Lets say you do what I say first.

Hi, is there a packaged mindmap soft in ubuntu 16.10 ?
BluesKaj 2017-02-22 08:06:30
basil1x, the nvidia site drivers will break your system on the next kernel upgrade
k1l 2017-02-22 08:06:34
xro: do you mean something like "dia"?
xro 2017-02-22 08:06:44
like xmind
bekks 2017-02-22 08:07:20
xro: There is a linux variant for xmind.
xro 2017-02-22 08:07:53
yes, but i'm a bit lazy... i downloaded it and it complains about eclipse plugin

k1l 2017-02-22 08:09:44
xro: i named packagenames.
basil1x 2017-02-22 08:11:09
BluesKaj, I'll deal with that then. Remove them if I have to.

xro 2017-02-22 08:11:47

BluesKaj 2017-02-22 08:12:11

freakyy 2017-02-22 08:12:14

freakyy 2017-02-22 08:12:36

xro 2017-02-22 08:12:50
yes, i always use grep. i know
bekks 2017-02-22 08:13:28
Freemind isnt available using Ubuntu repos anymore. They still have a linux version.
k1l 2017-02-22 08:15:05
xro: oh, freemind is gone since 16.04
xro 2017-02-22 08:15:28
so, a similar mindmap tool packaged ?
k1l 2017-02-22 08:16:02
xro: i named more than one package. did you look at them?

Any tips for setting up multitouch on synclient? My google-fu is weak.
JJ_298034 2017-02-22 08:17:16
Is it just to install touchegg and hey presto?
xro 2017-02-22 08:17:42
i'll try vym (looks acceptable)
freakyy 2017-02-22 08:24:05
hi all. how do i switch the default display manager?
bekks 2017-02-22 08:24:28
freakyy: By installing a second one, disabling the default, and enabling the second one.
freakyy 2017-02-22 08:25:02
no i mean the commandline way
JJ_298034 2017-02-22 08:25:03
rebooting to see if my changes gave me multitouch.
freakyy 2017-02-22 08:25:06
like dpkg-reconfigure
bekks 2017-02-22 08:25:16
freakyy: That IS the commandline way...
freakyy 2017-02-22 08:25:24
i have 3 display manager installed
freakyy 2017-02-22 08:25:30
i dont need to install any other display manager
freakyy 2017-02-22 08:25:41
what i wanna do is get this dialog i get when installing another display manager
bekks 2017-02-22 08:25:41
freakyy: So disable the unwanted one and enable the wanted one.
freakyy 2017-02-22 08:25:52
thats what i wanna do but using the dialog i get from dpkg
freakyy 2017-02-22 08:25:59
when its configuring a new display manager
w9qbj 2017-02-22 08:26:01
