| [13:45] <lubot> <tbs61> hello, i learned that the virtualbox we usually use is not opensource but there s opensource option too, where can i get opensource virtualbox for lubuntu? | |
| [16:51] <wxl> @tbs61 actually that's old news. it's the extension pack that's proprietary. | |
| [16:58] <lubot> <tbs61> @wxl [<wxl> @tbs61 actually that's old news. it's the extension pack that's proprietar …], when i run tails it warns me even thought i dont active that pack | |
| [17:03] <wxl> @tbs61 their wiki references the "ose" (open source editon) which was something that *DID* exist but that was prior to version 4 | |
| [17:03] <wxl> !info virtualbox | |
| [17:03] <ubottu> virtualbox (source: virtualbox): x86 virtualization solution - base binaries. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 6.1.6-dfsg-1 (focal), package size 20860 kB, installed size 109070 kB | |
| [17:03] <wxl> ^ as you can see, that was a little bit ago | |
| [17:03] <wxl> (10 years, actually) | |
| [17:04] <lubot> <tbs61> @@ | |
| [17:04] <wxl> so you might want to go complaint at tails about that one | |
| [17:04] <wxl> also, this isn't tails' support channel sooooooooo XD | |
| [17:05] <lubot> <tbs61> thanks for giving me an answer:) | |
| [19:03] <slowstoop> whats the easiest way to run a desktop shortcut as root, say leafpad? | |
| [19:19] <dax> wxl: did they resolve the issue that got it moved to multiverse in the first place ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1164654 ) or is that still a thing? | |
| [19:19] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1164654 in virtualbox (Ubuntu) "Please move virtualbox to multiverse" [Undecided,Fix released] | |
| [19:19] <dax> ('cause that wasn't related to the extension pack; OSE was not dfsg-free even without it) | |
| [19:23] <wxl> dax: right. that i don't know. fwiw i use the upstream repos. | |
| [19:23] <dax> ah | |
| [19:29] <wxl> !info virtualbox | |
| [19:29] <ubottu> virtualbox (source: virtualbox): x86 virtualization solution - base binaries. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 6.1.6-dfsg-1 (focal), package size 20860 kB, installed size 109070 kB | |
| [19:29] <wxl> yeah it is in multiverse because of the bios which is open source but not considered free | |
| [19:29] <wxl> i doubt that will change | |
| [19:30] <wxl> oh i'm sorry it's not the bios but the compiler used to build the bios | |
| [19:30] <dax> well, it's open source, just requires a build environment that isn't | |
| [19:30] <dax> yeah | |
| [19:30] <dax> tricky situation | |
| [19:31] <wxl> https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#Watcom | |
| [19:31] <wxl> the source code is required to be "deployed" by the license | |
| [19:31] <wxl> and they define that as such: | |
| [19:31] <wxl> 1.4 "Deploy" means to use, sublicense or distribute Covered Code other | |
| [19:31] <wxl> than for Your internal research and development (R&D) and/or Personal | |

| [19:31] <wxl> distribution of Covered Code within Your business or organization | |
| [19:31] <wxl> except for R&D use and/or Personal Use, as well as direct or indirect | |
| [19:36] <dax> oh huh, it's actually OSI-approved and FSF-disapproved, and considered non-dfsg free for a different reason from the FSF disapproval. interesting, haven't seen one this wonky in a while | |
| [19:36] <dax> anyways, i'm veering offtopic, will stop | |
| [20:03] <slowstoop> whats the easiest way to run a desktop shortcut as root, say leafpad? | |
| [20:03] <lubot> <teward001> not running GUI applications as root. | |
| [20:03] <lubot> <aptghetto> Use Windows | |
| [20:03] <lubot> <teward001> because that leads to all sorts of permissions issues | |
| [20:07] <lubot> Daksh was added by: Daksh | |
| [20:09] <lubot> <Daksh> Well I know my question is stupid but I hope I get answer that I love lubuntu but shifted to KDE neon coz it's too bloated with apps and libraries I don't need any way to remove before login in lubuntu or any minimal in stallion | |
| [20:11] <slowstoop> ffs i just want an answer not a cheeky bot | |
| [20:19] <lubot> <Daksh> @tsimonq2 | |
| [20:20] <lubot> <Daksh> @Daksh [Well I know my question is stupid but I hope I get answer that I love lubuntu bu …], Help me pls | |
| [20:24] <wxl> @Daksh i didn't see a question in there. | |
| [20:32] <lubot> <Daksh> Ohh one question I didn't saw lubuntu 20.10 on official lubuntu but got this http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/current/HEADER.html is this for real | |
| [20:33] <lubot> <HMollerCl> @slowstoop [<slowstoop> ffs i just want an answer not a cheeky bot], if you only need sudo for leafpad, better use vim, nano or similar. | |
| [20:48] <wxl> @Daksh we don't include it in the downloads because it's not released. | |
