dlPhreakGood morning everyone08:14
mazalHi dlPhreak08:17
mazalUgh man I hate this part , installating all the additional software :P08:17
Kilostime consuming08:18
mazalAnd the ppa's are missing and makes it harder08:20
mazalOr doesn't exist yet I should say08:20
Wolfeyesheya magespawn08:22
Wolfeyesheya dlPhreak08:23
mazalOh man this is not good. One of my main apps is not installable :(08:26
mazal" handbrake-gtk : Depends: libx264-146 but it is not installable "08:27
Kiloscheck in repos08:39
superflyKilos: it wasn't me!08:55
Kiloshahaha hi superfly 08:57
mazalOh man this is getting worse and worse09:00
mazalAnother one of my apps don't have a deb or repo anymore :( Only win installers09:00
mazalOnly source code , and I have no idea how to use that09:02
Kilosonly worry about what you need in the near future09:02
Kilosor learn09:03
Kiloshttp://askubuntu.com/questions/140998/compiling-source-into-a-deb-package09:03
mazalThis is apps I need09:04
mazalSome of my mosed used stuff09:04
mazalmost*09:04
Kilosit will get done09:04
Kilosyou didnt want to wait for release09:04
mazalNo this project doesn't have "any" repo or debs anymore. For no version of Ubu or linux09:08
Kilosremember this next time you want to upgrade early09:08
mazalShees I won't be able to do half the stuff I do09:09
Kiloscompli your own from the source09:09
Kiloscompile09:09
superflymazal: which app is that?09:09
mazalI should have dual booted09:09
mazalsuperfly,DVD styler09:10
mazalI use it to recompile video files I cleaned09:10
mazalAnd the other is Handbrake , that takes to mp409:10
superflyhandbrake is in the repos?09:11
superflyI dunno, I use ffmpeg on the command line09:11
superflyyup, handbrake is still there09:11
mazalHang on let me see , I tried the developer repo09:13
superflymazal: I try to stay far away from ppas09:13
mazalLots of software you can only get in ppa's09:14
mazalHandbrake was one of them. Never was in Ubu repo's before09:14
mazalOk I see it in repo's , gonna try that09:14
mazalAnd I see they changed the package name also , is why apt install didn't see it09:16
inetpromazal: you are wrong, listen to superfly09:16
mazalinetpro, I have plenty of apps that is not in Ubu repo's. So what must one do then , not have apps ?09:16
inetprohandbrake is there in the standard repos under Section: universe/graphics09:16
inetprobtw, good mornings everyone09:17
mazalYeah that one I found now like I said09:17
inetprooh and mazal sorry but I can not discuss now, too much on my plate here09:17
superflymazal: look for alternatives?09:17
mazalThey change the package name also otherwise apt in cli would have gotten it from there anyway09:18
superfly"apt search <part of package name>"09:18
inetprofeel free to talk to others though... but ultimately I agree 100% with spuerfly, stay away from PPA's as far as humanly possible09:18
inetpros/spuerfly/superfly/09:18
mazalMany times one has no choice. If software isn't there one have to go ppa's09:18
* inetpro bites his lip and avoids arguing 09:19
mazalI get what you guys saying , but the repo's simply doesn't have all software.09:20
Kiloslol09:20
Kilosthey afre still working on it mazal 09:21
Kilosare09:21
mazalKilos, there are plenty software they simply don't put in the repo's. The next one on my list for example , the media server I use , has never been in any Ubu repo09:23
Kilosthats your choice09:23
mazalIf it's the only thing that works I don't really have a choice09:23
Kilosalways try built in apps first09:23
mazalThere is no alternatives09:24
Kilosworks for what09:24
mazalThis one is a media server that serves media to my PS309:24
mazalAnd this is just one example09:24
mazalI install most apps from repo's sure. It's always my first choice also , but it simply doesn't have everything09:25
Kiloshttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ps3MediaServer09:25
mazalAnd there you proove my point , add ppa in those steps lol09:26
Kilosbut the main thing now is if ubuntu itself is running properly not gaming add ons09:26
* inetpro would love to see the long list of software he uses of which he claims there is no other alternatives09:26
mazalMedia serving is not a gaming add-on. It's a entertainment source that many peeps use in their homes. I just happen to use the PS3 as a front-end09:28
Kilossomewhere the is an irc channel where they work on all the stuff for releases09:29
Kilosi couldnt follow half or more of what they are doing09:29
Kilosso better to wait for release date imo09:30
mazalAg no can't use this one either09:31
mazalDepends on openjdk7 , and I think we are on 8 if I am not mistaken09:32
Kiloshave you set your update manager to see other apps09:32
mazalThis one's project was stopped in 2013 :(09:34
Kilosai!09:34
Kilosfind an alternative09:34
magespawnmazal that does happen on occasion, sometimes the project is taken up later 09:35
mazalmagespawn, yeah. Another one of my favs that died is REDO backup09:37
mazalThis one seems to work with java 8 though , could do the config. Will test tonight properly09:37
mazallibdvdcss I can't get either09:38
mazalOk oom Kilos , I can't go any further so time to test that iso generate thing09:40
Kilosok09:40
mazalI see they regularly updated it , so here goes09:41
mazalAnother example of software not in the repo's btw09:42
Kilosthere will be something about it in google09:42
mazalKilos, I'm gonna do an iso , take it to stick or dvd , and boot with that to test. Will give feedback after that09:42
Kilosi looked for a package before and thought it was missing but it had been built into something else09:43
Kilosok09:43
magespawnmazal isn't libdvdcss in restricted?09:44
Kilosor built into dvdread or the lib package09:53
KilosMaaz coffee on10:00
* Maaz puts the kettle on10:00
MaazCoffee's ready for Kilos!10:04
KilosMaaz ty10:05
MaazYou are welcome Kilos10:05
magespawnwhoops, did not even seem hom leave10:27
magespawns/hom/him10:27
Kiloslol10:27
Kilos-hmm...10:38
mazalOom Kilos , some feedback on systemback11:59
mazalCreates iso easily. On the life iso right now. All seems fine with all apps included12:00
mazalHowever , it still puts all your configs into the iso as well12:00
mazalSo it's still an excellent option for private use and recovery , but can't be given to someone sle for use12:00
mazalEven my email config is in the live system. Very nice option for private use12:03
magespawnso you need to create a system or another live system to create the systemback cd from12:15
magespawnand he is gone again12:15
Kilos-ai!12:16
Kilos-ty  mazal 12:19
Kilos-ill try remember that12:19
mazalWorks very nice oom , very straight forward12:19
Kilos-cool12:19
mazalJust a pitty there isn't an options for " no user config mode " or something like that12:20
mazalOne wouldn't be able to give that iso for someone else to install or try Ubu12:20
mazalBut I will defnitely use it for my re-installs on my own pc's12:20
Kilos-if you want to install for others maybe you could delete conf files maybe12:21
magespawnso you need to create a system or another live cd/usb to create the systemback cd from12:21
Kilos-and maybe the addusers way12:21
magespawndoes it copy all the config files for all the users on a system?12:22
mazalmagespawn,I dunno , I only have 1 user on my pc12:23
mazalmagespawn, and no , systemback is installed on your current system. From it's interface you create a live iso. Then just burn the iso to dvd or usb12:24
mazalIt has some other system restore point features as well that I haven't tried12:25
Kilos-hi bushtech hows the signal today12:29
magespawnso then if using it for distibution, create a live cd with it installed, then install all the needed software and then create the systemback cd12:30
magespawnlive usb migh work better, then you can add software as needed12:31
magespawns/migh/might12:31
bushtechKilos-: Still more or less the same. the second line on mtr is just ???. Cant even id the ip addres12:31
Kilos-eish12:31
Kilos-TheMurdz 12:31
TheMurdzOla!12:31
TheMurdzWhat's up12:32
Kilos-has afrihost got any clout with mtn12:32
TheMurdzMEH, a little bit. Mainly if it's related to us. If it's unrelated to us, then meh.12:32
Kilos-poor bushtech having a hard time12:32
TheMurdzHmm, What's the Eish bushtech?12:33
bushtechand still waiting on them for tower location12:33
TheMurdzOh geez. Hmm12:34
bushtechmy speed has dropped12:34
TheMurdzCan you send me the ref that MTN Got you?12:34
TheMurdzgave *12:34
TheMurdz(again)12:34
bushtechcoming up12:34
bushtechpm'ed12:35
TheMurdz:)12:35
mazalmagespawn, that's exactly what I use it for. re-install with all extra software already included12:36
mazalI install normal on my pc , add all extra software I need. Install systemback and then make live iso with systemback12:37
mazalBeen doing it for years to save time and data on re-installs. Previously used remastersys , but that project died also12:38
pavlushkaHello everyone!!!12:41
magespawnhi pavlushka 12:44
TheMurdzHeya hey12:49
Kilos-oh bushtech you can run sudo fstrim -v /when things get slow12:51
Kilos-then trim doent need to be activated12:51
bushtechKilos-: I did last night and it did something but I don't think it used my ssd as fstrim apparently doesn't run on ext2 disks and my ssd is ext2 :(12:54
Kilos-oh my12:55
pavlushkaTheMurdz: hey Heya12:55
Kilos-why ext212:55
bushtechhave no idea why I did that, was a long long time ago (in a galaxy far away)12:59
Kilos-hahaha12:59
Kilos-ext4 much better and less likely to lose data with power cuts12:59
bushtechthe ssd only runs an OS so not much going on there13:00
Kilos-oh you not using it for everything13:00
Kilos-mine has to do everything13:01
bushtechit runs my media server13:01
Kilos-ah13:01
mazalbushtech, it is you that uses plex for media serving ?13:40
Kilos-inetpro go home13:46
Kilos-just in case storm coming13:46
Kilos-dont let the wind blow you off the bicycle13:47
magespawnhoem time chat later13:55
magespawnhome too13:55
bushtechmazal: I di install plex on my media server but then found I could access  my files directly without using plex. So, I've got it but dont use it14:06
mazalbushtech, ok. Time is now for me to look into alternatives. The one I used is outdated14:19
zipperKilos-: Hey, it went well?14:43
Kilos-what zipper ?14:43
zipperThe translation stuff?14:43
zipper0.o14:44
Kilos-i have no idea anymore, i think they are connected now14:44
Kilos-i did the intros and left the mail contacting to them14:44
Kilos-i spose i could have asked them to cc me as well, but i already get too many mails14:45
Kilos-ill ask mike14:50
zipperKilos-: It's okay15:51
zipperKilos-: Awesome15:52
WolfeyesEvening everyone16:55
WolfeyesKilos-: I got sed working on windows with cygwin16:56
Kilos-whatever that is16:57
Wolfeyeslol16:58
Kilos-i go eat17:00
Kilos-wbb17:00
=== Kilos- is now known as Kilos
* mazal fiddles18:39
Kilosdont break things18:39
mazalI'm nored18:40
mazalbored*18:40
mazalNeed something to do18:40
Kilosmazal i been thinking18:43
pavlushkaKilos: what?18:43
Kilosif you install from a systemback iso18:43
Kilosand you add an admin user18:43
Kilosthen remove yourself18:44
Kilosdoes that person then have full control and have all his own config files18:44
Kilosand how would one remove all your own config files 18:45
pavlushkaKilos: supposed to and yes, I did that on Ubuntu and Windows18:45
mazalThat should work Kilos , as long as you do the install yourself18:45
mazalCreate 2nd admin user and wipe the original user and it's home folder18:45
Kilosyes18:46
mazalDon't have 2nd pc , otherwise I would have tested it. But in theory it should work18:46
pavlushkaI practical, it works as well.18:47
pavlushka*in practical18:48
mazalIt's the same as if I give this pc as is to someone. Create id for him then wipe my own id and folder18:48
Kilosyeah18:48
mazalOne must just remember to make that 2nd id an admin id18:48
* pavlushka yep18:49
mazalBTW , on kubuntu do you just select that "admin user" option on the user's properties ?18:49
Kilosi havent looked18:50
mazalOr do you have to manually go add it to the sudo group in cli18:50
Kilosyou can do it from cli quite easilly18:51
Kilosthe pro showed me how couple of years ago18:51
Kilosunity needed and extra admin to fix the first admins probs18:52
mazalI usually did it by adding the user to sudo group , but that was a while ago18:52
mazalThat's a good idea on any system really18:53
Kilosit was just admin or --admin added to the adduser command18:53
mazalOn winbloze I always have a 2nd admin user18:53
mazalI added one now via user manager in system settings , but when I go back there it's gone18:54
Kiloslol18:54
mazalGonna test it in a seperate terminal with an upgrade command18:57
Wolfeyesdo you make the administrator appear in the tick box in admin tools mazal?18:58
mazalkewl , worked. So selecting that "admin user" in the user properties does the trick18:59
mazalWolfeyes, no was wondering if that admin user option in the user's properties will give him full rights19:00
Wolfeyesfrom 7 they started to hide the admin user account, could even have been vista19:00
Wolfeyesit should19:00
mazalThis is on Kubuntu Wolfeyes.19:01
Wolfeyesah19:01
mazalIt still doesn't show in my id's user manager anymore19:01
mazalBut can log in with it though19:01
Kilosdont delete your home folder just rename it when you get there19:03
mazalNo not gonna test that on this machine :P19:03
Kiloscould be some hassle if both admins end up with same home19:03
mazalI just finished installing it hehehehe19:03
Kiloshaha19:03
mazalThis is the time I miss a "play and mess around with" pc19:03
mazalHow do I see a user's info in cli ?19:05
mazalFor example his group memberships19:05
Kilosi need sleep19:11
Kilosnight all. sleep tight19:11
mazalNag oom , lekker slaap19:11
Kilosdankie jy ook19:12
