@Rinzwind I've got a 17.10 live session running now. Looks great! Certainly no DNS issue like I was having with Ubuntu Gnome 17.04. The only thing now is ...

...it doesn't seem to have any gnome-tweak-tools or even under the new name. Nor does it show up in the "Ubuntu Software Centre". So I'm not sure where to intsall it from -- or even how! Any suggestions (anyone?). Thanks!

Eliah Kagan

08:18

@Dɑvïd You should be able to use it in Artful (17.10). It's provided by the gnome-tweak-tool packge. You should be able to install it with apt even if you can't install it otherwise. You might have to run sudo apt update before sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool. If that doesn't work, then assuming your Internet connection is working, the most likely cause of the problem is that the universe repository component is not enabled.

75

Q: How do I enable the "Universe" repository?

How do I get to the Universe Repository in supported versions of Ubuntu?

software-center package-management software-sources

The command you would run for it, once the package is installed, is gnome-tweak-tool. They renamed it back (for Ubuntu anyway, I don't know about in general). This is according to the changelog at launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-tweak-tool -- expand the version number under The Artful Aardvark:

Dɑvïd

@EliahKagan Perfect! Many thanks. I had found the PPA, but still couldn't work out install, since apt was telling me it wasn't available. Enabling universe repository did the trick.

Eliah Kagan

@Dɑvïd Excellent.

Dɑvïd

@EliahKagan Thanks for the superior quality assistance! ;)

Eliah Kagan

No problem. :)

Dɑvïd

@EliahKagan I think I'll go ahead and install it -- 17.10, that is. Running nicely on this machine. Gnome 17.04 was a non-starter, sadly.

Eliah Kagan

08:25

You'll have to reinstall the package each time you use the live environment, of course, unless it has a persistent area or you customize the ISO to include it.

@Dɑvïd In that case you won't have to keep reinstalling the package to use it in your 17.10 system. :)

Dɑvïd

@EliahKagan Yep! I must be in a risk-takling mood. :)

Eliah Kagan

I'm thinking of trying Ubuntu GNOME when 17.10 comes out. Can you tell me what improvements you've noticed over 17.04? (I haven't used Ubuntu GNOME 17.04.)

Dɑvïd

@EliahKagan Actually, I'm going from 16.04 LTS, so can't really comment on changes over 17.04

Eliah Kagan

Ah ok.

Dɑvïd

@EliahKagan I just got a new desktop machine, and thought I'd get stuck into the future of Ubuntu.

@EliahKagan Are you on 17.04, then? (Ah, I see you're not!)

Eliah Kagan

08:30

No, I'm mostly on 16.04 myself (and not GNOME). I've used 17.04 but not on a system with a GUI. I mainly use Lubuntu. I've done more than 17.10 than 17.04 actually. I've tried LXQt and Xfce on 17.10.

Dɑvïd

@EliahKagan I've got a soft spot for Lubuntu, and would have checked it out, if it wasn't for the uncertainty about LXQt -- I've also used Xfce quite a lot. But time for something ... fresh!

So I'll have to find where to get PCManFM for 17.10, which I always use, still.

Eliah Kagan

@Dɑvïd It's still installable through the pcmanfm package.

Also, I think both the "old" GTK+-based Lubuntu and the new LXQt Lubuntu are currently available for 17.10. I don't actually know if both will be released by if you look at cdimage.ubuntu.com, it has both lubuntu and lubuntu-next daily lives.

I'm pretty sure the pcmanfm package still gives the GTK+-based PCManFM, both based on its dependencies and because there's a separate pcmanfm-qt package.

I was downloading packages with a package manager (just over 1GB in size). After a few hours, I suspended my machine without checking to see if the package manager had finished installing the packages. How can I double-check that all the packages were installed? Or would suspending have not affected it?

Eliah Kagan

09:11

@ahorn Do you know what packages you told it to install?

Rinzwind

@Dɑvïd risk aint that big :=)

ahorn

@EliahKagan Yes. Various LaTeX packages. Do I have to check them individually?

Eliah Kagan

@ahorn No. I was just thinking, if there were only a couple packages, that might be the easiest way. Since it was more, I recommend checking the logs. Does /var/log/dpkg.log show them? (It would be near the end of the file.)

Is it possible to get a list of packages that were most recently installed through apt-get?

Rinzwind answered the question well above. If you want to use a GUI, open Synaptic by opening the Ubuntu Dash and typing "Synaptic". You will be prompted for your root password.

ahorn

09:30

I found a history in the manager, but now I'm not sure if any were left off the list. So, I'm just wondering if there can be a confirmation that all the required packages were installed. I'm not sure if there usually is a confirmation message. There may not be.

It shouldn't be a problem.
I'm new to Linux (a few months in).

Eliah Kagan

When you unsuspended (resumed), was Synaptic still running? I wouldn't expected suspending to cause Synaptic to behave erratically--if it kept the installation from working, I would expect an error message. However, if Synaptic mysteriously stopped running, then I guess I wouldn't assume it succeeded.

ahorn

09:46

It was still running.

Eliah Kagan

I think you're probably fine then.

But you may want to post a question on the main site about it if you're concerned.

Dɑvïd

@Rinzwind And I'm feeling lucky. :)

@EliahKagan Yep, got it now, thanks!

gnome gnome-shell-extension

^^^^ Also found this a VERY helpful Q&A when trying to grab extensions. Saved a lot of head-scratching.

Dɑvïd

10:17

Because "Tweaks" isn't loading available extensions, after getting the first one ("dash to dock") which installed just fine from "Software" app. (It's not finding others, though. Odd?)

Eliah Kagan

@Dɑvïd That's the problem the answer there solved?

Dɑvïd

@EliahKagan Sort of -- although maybe I'm not quite understanding the relationship between Tweaks and the web-based installer(s).

Eliah Kagan

Unfortunately I don't either. I haven't used GNOME 3 (with GNOME Shell, I mean) in quite some time, so I don't have experience with Tweaks either.

Dɑvïd

Or maybe I just picked a borked extension to install! (Was trying this one, which just won't install -- initially seems to, but then nothing changes, and it doesn't show as installed).

@EliahKagan No doubt it will come good eventually! (6-8 weeks, I understand. ;)

We close many Kali questions, which is good (they're off-topic), but we're sending people to Unix.SE... which would be good, but most are unclear or otherwise low quality. As I understand it the Unix.SE community is already beleaguered by bad Kali questions. I worry an increase in volume may poison the Unix.SE against novice Kali users. Should I try to advise OPs as I VTC their Kali questions about how ask better? Maybe a canned comment? Should I ask our meta? Unix.SE's meta? @terdon

terdon

@EliahKagan Frankly, I doubt it is possible to poison Unix.SE against novice Kali users more than it already is. The simple fact is that the very term "novice Kali user" should be an oxymoron.

That said, if you do advise them to ask on U&L (which is reasonable since Kali is on topic there) yes, please also advise on how to ask a question.

I actually have a canned comment on U&L about this:

> Please take a moment and read Should I use Kali Linux? to understand what Kali is and who it is designed for. Quite frankly, if you have to ask this sort of basic question, then you shouldn't really be using Kali.

Kali is a professional tool which, for reasons I cannot understand, has become popular with script kiddies who think running it to watch YouTube videos makes them cooler.

Good Kali questions are welcome. Sadly, they are also extremely rare. I think I've seen 2 in the years I've been active on U&L.

I wonder if it works on US Cellular better than the Nexus 6P, it has poor reception

TheWanderer

USC has the same spectrum as Verizon, and is partnered with Verizon (IIRC)

but I don't think poor reception has much to do with phone support

Seth

No headphone jack is definitely a deal breaker though.

TheWanderer

21:55

either the 6P has bad antennas or you're just not covered where you are @Jeremy31

Jeremy31

Everyone seems to be eliminating the headphone jack

TheWanderer

@Seth I have yet to hear a logical reason for removing it or the IR blaster.

both of those cost basically nothing to implement

Jeremy31

I had excellent reception with my old Note 2 but it was US Cellular branded, the 6P is supposed to work with almost any carrier

TheWanderer

so I guess it just has bad antennas

because it supports everything USC uses

Seth

@TheWanderer very few people use the IR blaster, so I can understand that. Everyone I know uses the headphone jack.

Jeremy31

21:58

Either bad antennas or the one size fits all phone can't do everything well

TheWanderer

@Seth well it still doesn't seem financial sensible to change it at all; just keep it in. You get a few more customers that way.

Seth

@TheWanderer yes but "thinner"

TheWanderer

the IR blaster is even smaller than the headphone jack

let's talk about the Z2 Force

smaller battery, scratchier screen, way worse battery life, more expensive, and without the style mod included

Seth

I'm just waiting for someone to make a headphone jack mod

TheWanderer

lol right

$2000

Jeremy31

22:04

Scratchier screen?

TheWanderer

it's "shatterproof" technology, AKA plastic

Z Force had the same thing going on, but it didn't scratch as easily, and the top layer was user-replaceable

Z2 Force isn't anymore

Jeremy31

I thought most phones used Gorilla glass. I haven't scratched a screen since my HTC touch pro 2

TheWanderer

Motorola's schtick is that they have the top plastic layer, then glass or something, then two digitizer layers (in case on breaks) and then the OLED panel

Jeremy31

I had really good luck with Motorola phones but I don't think USCC had one the last time I bought a phone there and that is why I got the Note 2 which was large at the time but some of the phones I see aren't much smaller than small tablets

TheWanderer

@Seth the RAZR M was released in September 2012 with 4.0.4, while 4.4 was released October 2013
