ducassejust saw your 'good morning' message at 6:59 - i was in no shape to log on then :)06:24
lotuspsychjehaha06:24
lotuspsychjeducasse: the external .deb install in gnome-software should be solved on updating system06:26
lotuspsychje!info gnome-software06:26

ducasseah, good. i personally don't use it, but i'm glad it's fixed.06:27
lotuspsychjeme neither, apt install way06:33
=== benonsoftware is now known as Guest30663
ducassei read on debian-user recently that the devs are working on a rollback/undo option for apt. that would be nice.06:37
lotuspsychjecool06:37
lotuspsychjeapt is fantastic06:37
lotuspsychjeand snap packages growing also06:38
ducasse'snap find | wc -l' = 50 on my system, not too bad.06:39
lotuspsychjetelegram is pretty neat06:40
lotuspsychjei missed that in official repos06:40
ducassei think the interface could be nicer, though. would be nice to have at least a 'snap show' to get more info on a snap.06:42
lotuspsychjeyeah06:42
lotuspsychjedf -h also shows the snap individual now06:42

lotuspsychjebbl breakfast07:28
ducasseenjoy :)07:28
pauljwHi everyone11:16
ducassehi :)11:21
BluesKajHey folks11:21
BluesKajducasse :-)11:24
ducassehi BluesKaj :) everything ok?11:24
BluesKajyes , thanks ducasse , how are things with you?11:24
ducassegood, although it's raining heavily here in the cold north - my cat refuses to go outside :)11:25
BluesKajsmart cat ;-)11:26
BluesKajWe live in a part of Ontario Canada that's considered "North" as well, altho the temp is going up to 30C today, but expecting rain this evening11:28
BluesKajand still almost freezing at night here11:30
ducassei'm in norway, so it's a lot colder here. around 10°C in the day, 0°C at night.11:30
BluesKajright, see by your IP how far north you are11:32
BluesKajyour provider uses Ipv6, very up to date11:34
ducassewell, i'm south of oslo, so i guess i shouldn't complain. at least we don't get midnight sun - it actually goes down for an hour or so :)11:34
ducasseevery provider here has been on ipv6 for years.11:35
BluesKaj your iP shows you much north of Oslo...guess it the central switch, or ipv6 can only be resolved by which country the provider is located ...good to know11:39
BluesKajthese IP trackers aren't always accurate anyway11:40
ducasseno, they're not really accurate. my provider has a huuuuuge network, and i think they're based north of oslo. that might be why.11:41
BluesKajmine shows me in Toronto and I'm 400Km north of that11:42
ducassehow's ipv6 coverage over there? better than in the us?11:43
BluesKajnothing much yet, mostly still ipv411:46
ducassei think ipv6 has caught on more here in europe. my provider gives every subscriber a /60.11:49
BluesKajthe big telecoms hare are slow to change unless they need to change, read : if they start losing business to the competition11:51
ducassesad. the telcos here are pretty heavily regulated, so internet access is generally good and not too pricey. i pay about £30/month for 150/20, and can get 250 for a little bit more.11:54
BluesKajyou guys are lucky , we pay the highest rates for crappy speeds, but some of it has to do with vast distances the networks have to cover here12:03
ducasseof course that has an impact, here the main problem is mountains in the way. a big bonus is that we laid down tons of fiber really early, so just about everything is fiber today.12:07
BluesKajducasse, oh we have fiber , they just charge waaay too much for it's service12:08
ducasse:)12:08
BluesKajI'm retired on fixed income, so I watch my expenses, and I need patience, but our needs for bandwidth aren't very high12:10
ducassei think 1gbit symmetrical fiber to my house costs ~£50/month, but the installation costs a bit so i haven't bothered. don't need it either, i'm not a big torrenter or anything.12:10
BluesKajright12:11
ducassei get disabilty benefits myself, so i also need to watch my expenses.12:11
BluesKajit's just wifey and me and we run maybe 2 pcs at a time sometimes 3 if i use the laptop12:12
ducassebesides, 150mbit is _plenty_ for just about everything.12:12
BluesKajyeah I would say so :-012:13
de-factolol dang, you guys i pay 30€/month for 16/1 mbit12:13
ducassede-facto: wow, that's pretty bad. where are you?12:14
de-factogermany, its really bad here, they squeeze out the most they can get of the old telephone wires with aDSL12:15
ducassede-facto: wow, i thought germany was pretty similar to norway. guess not :-/12:16
de-factoalternative is tv cable providers, there you can get like 120/6 mbit for that price12:16
de-factonope, i wish the would offer fiber or such, but afaik its only for some tests or such12:17
de-factoalso its the most expensive market for mobile data rates in europe i read12:18
ducassecable is what i have now, for about that price but i get better upload speeds. the whole network is fiber, except copper from node to home. they'll be upgrading that to fiber this summer.12:18
de-factowow lucky you... i wish i could kick those ISP's here to invest more in their infrastructure12:19
ducassemobile isn't really cheap here, and it has these idiotic caps, but i don't really use it.12:19
BluesKajI guess 40 bucks US/month (converted from Canadian)  isn't too bad fro 6mb ADSL mhere in the boonies, fiber from the local cable company is available , but I refuse to pay 80 US  for 50mb, i'much faster , but my friends say it's throttled a lot12:20
BluesKajit's12:20
ducassei think the main reason is they all invested in fiber very early, so it's already in the ground.12:20
ducassethey throttle so you don't get 50mbps sustained?12:21
BluesKajyup12:22
de-factofiber is the only data link that really makes sense, all the others sound to me like "oh, look we already have some infrastructure avail, how can we make use of it so we can sell something for data connections based on that?"12:22
BluesKajthey carry a lot of tv signals on the same lines and it seems to have priority12:22
ducassethe cable providers here have all seen the light and are moving to make money as isp's in the future, not as tv providers.12:23
de-factoyup because their coaxial cables can carry much broader frequency spectrum than normal telephone wires. though not nearly as much as fiber12:25
BluesKajyes there's a lot of cord cutting going on here, and ppl a re dropping cbale and sattv for android boxes and the like12:25
BluesKajcable even12:25
de-factoHey lotus :)12:25
lotuspsychjegood afternoon to all12:25
lotuspsychjehey de-facto & BluesKaj12:25
BluesKajhi lotuspsychje12:25
ducasseafternoon :)12:25
lotuspsychjehi ducasse :p12:26
lotuspsychjeBluesKaj, de-facto gnome-software bug for not installing external .deb has been patched on latest update12:27
lotuspsychje!info gnome-software12:27
ubot5gnome-software (source: gnome-software): Software Center for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 3.20.1+git20160426.1.a976144-ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu1 (xenial), package size 236 kB, installed size 1058 kB12:27
lotuspsychjespread the word :p12:27
ducassein -proposed?12:27
lotuspsychjemain12:27
de-factooh nice one, so it can provide most of  the functionality gdebi could?12:27
lotuspsychjeshould be fixxed12:28
lotuspsychjehmm i even find terminal apps now12:29
lotuspsychjelike terminator, nmap12:29
lotuspsychjeoh cowsay not12:29
de-factoto be honest i did not gain much experience with gnome-software yet, i always sticked to my old friends synaptic and gdebi or commend line apt, apt-get and even aptitude sometimes12:31
lotuspsychjelike apt best myself, but for our newie friends out there..:p12:31
ducasseapt ftw, in 16.04 it has become really nice to use.12:31
de-factognome-software looks pretty clean (which i like), but it still lacks some functionality imho12:32
lotuspsychjeducasse: agree, simple and clean12:32
lotuspsychjewith the progress bar #########12:32
de-factofor example list files of installed software, dependencies and all that12:32
lotuspsychjeamazing12:32
lotuspsychjenow im trying to bug out as much as possible, so we get a clean 16.04.112:33
ducasseabsolutely. even the output from apt search is nicer than from apt-cache.12:33
ducasse.1 needs to be solid, ubuntu has gotten a lot of flak over xenial...12:34
de-factognome-software might be pretty nice for starters, but i really miss a "advanced details" options button or such12:34
lotuspsychje_can apt search packages on repos that arent active? like partner?12:35
BluesKaj16.04 was a bit immature for an official release IME, the bugs were serious ones12:35
lotuspsychje_BluesKaj: yeah agree12:35
de-factothis particular one even got famous on omgubuntu12:36
ducasseme three, even though it's been ok here. my machines are really stripped down, though, not typical desktop installs.12:36
lotuspsychje_ducasse: stripped wich way?12:36
ducasseas in 'thrown out a lot of stuff'.12:37
lotuspsychje_cool12:37
lotuspsychje_great idea for ubuntu-desktop to act lightweight also12:38
de-factoducasse which of the programs installed per default did you throw out? *curious*12:38
lotuspsychje_yeah im curious too12:38
lotuspsychje_de-facto: i clean stuff mostly with bleachbit for couple gigs12:39
ducasseubuntu-desktop task, for one, and everything that comes with it. just install x.org, i3 and tmux.12:39
de-factooh wow thats a lot then12:39
lotuspsychje_ducasse: can you systemd-analyze the output?12:40
lotuspsychje_lotuspsychje@RooTBooK:~$ systemd-analyze12:40
lotuspsychje_Startup finished in 5.142s (kernel) + 6.042s (userspace) = 11.185s12:40
de-factolotuspsychje_ yes i use that too, i defined a profile and invoke that from easystroke mouse gestures, so one mouse gesture is a systemwide cleanup with bleachbit12:40
lotuspsychje_this is so nice about linux, the user got lots of choices12:41
de-factowow your userspace is pretty fast12:41
de-factoStartup finished in 4.034s (kernel) + 18.048s (userspace) = 22.082s12:41
EriC^^sup12:41
de-factohey :)12:41
lotuspsychje_de-facto: samsung 850 pro ssd :p12:41
EriC^^hey :)12:42
lotuspsychje_hey EriC^^12:42
EriC^^hey lotuspsychje_12:42
ducassei have the 850 evo :)12:42
lotuspsychje_im still looking for a gui systemd manager12:42
BluesKajwe all must be samsung evo fanboys here12:42
lotuspsychje_like disable cups on netbook and such12:42
lotuspsychje_i found a nice article on systemd lately, lemme refind12:43
lotuspsychje_what to disable and whatnots12:43
EriC^^disabling stuff doesn't make much of a difference i think, i dunno12:43
de-factoim still using Corsair CSSD-F120GB2  with the good old 34nm flash chips from intel/micron and the SandForce SF-120012:43
EriC^^i tried disabling a lot of stuff and booting and doing systemctl-analyze12:44
Switcheslotuspsychje_: What about this https://github.com/mmstick/systemd-manager?12:44
ducassei'm looking at one of the intel m2 drives for a new root, they look nice.12:44
EriC^^boot improved just a tiny bit12:44
lotuspsychje_Switches: GUI looking neat there12:44
DJoneslotuspsychje_: What spec machine is that on, my basic 16.04 install gives:-12:45
DJonesStartup finished in 1.893s (firmware) + 6.899s (loader) + 1.856s (kernel) + 8.222s (userspace) = 18.871s12:45
DJonesAnd thats on an i7 with ssd & 8gb ram12:45
lotuspsychje_DJones: an acer aspire one netbook with 4gig ram :p12:46
lotuspsychje_DJones: but i tweak alot of stuff12:46
DJonesHeh, good going, have you disabled anything from startup12:46
lotuspsychje_yes12:46
DJonesThat explains12:46
DJonesit12:46
lotuspsychje_i did that sed line to see startup items, disable unneeded12:47
lotuspsychje_and install preload12:47
de-factoSwitches nice one !12:47
lotuspsychje_clean system with bleachbit12:47
lotuspsychje_but most speed comes from the 850 pro ssd12:47
DJonesMine doesn't have anything disabled, but I don't notice much delay anyway12:47
SwitchesIsn't my work, but I do use it a lot on my machines12:47
DJonesI never thought an ssd would make that much difference, but when I put one in the laptop, I was really impressed at the difference12:48
lotuspsychje_DJones: wich brand are you on?12:48
BluesKajlotuspsychje_, agreed , the improved boot speed on my old amd 5200+  with the SSD is probly close to factor of 5 vs the old hdd12:49
ducassetried putting a spare ssd in my laptop, but this stupid hp has a whitelist.12:49
lotuspsychje_whats a whitelist?12:49
EriC^^really12:49
EriC^^which hp?12:49
EriC^^hp pavilion g6 here12:49
ducassehp g62.12:49
ducassewhitelist is a list of approved parts with hp part numbers.12:50
SwitchesA whitelist for hp hardware is unusual.. Some weird bios requirements maybe?12:50
DJoneslotuspsychje_: Crucial CT512 according to hwinfo12:50
BluesKajthere must be a vast improvement in battery life on ssd equipped laptops12:50
lotuspsychje_DJones: thats a fast one also, did you check its website for recent firmware upgrades?12:51
DJonesCouldn't remember which one I'd bought without going upstairs to look at the box12:51
DJonesNo, I've not looked at that12:51
de-factohmm most of the time systemd spends ( "systemd-analyze plot > /tmp/bootup-graph.svg && xdg-open /tmp/bootup-graph.svg" ) on waiting for network-online target, its my fault i guess having two gbit +  wlan +  virbr and all that installed at once12:51
lotuspsychje_DJones: speed can matter alot on firmware update also12:52
ducassemine mostly takes time setting up zfs, it takes forever...12:52
DJonesI don't really need speed, most I do is pidgin, ssh/byobu, corebird, email, chrome & minecraft12:52
lotuspsychje_the systemd article: https://www.linux.com/learn/cleaning-your-linux-startup-process12:52
DJonesOccasionally hexchat to connect to undernet12:52
lotuspsychje_friendly-recovery service what does that?12:56
lotuspsychje_and ufw-service can we get rid of that?12:57
de-factohmm probably depends on if you use those i guess13:00
lotuspsychje_im gonna disable a whole list holdon lol13:01
ducassebe careful now, lotuspsychje_ :)13:01
lotuspsychje_lolz13:01
lotuspsychje_im reading :p13:01
de-factowow, dont screw up your setup... isnt there a way to backup the current state before?13:02
Switchesufw is ubuntu fire wall service, friendly-recovery I think is the something to do with backups (don't quote me though)13:02
lotuspsychje_ufw is disabled by default, why does systemd starting it by default then?13:03
de-factoi even installed clamav, i know its pretty much useless on linux to have av scanner, but hey if i do online banking they require me to have such software installed, so i got it :P13:03
lotuspsychje_de-facto: ive seen recent linux exploits on clamav's database..so its not really useless these days13:04
Switcheslotuspsychje_: Not sure, if it's disabled systemd shouldn't enable it. Maybe it just makes a link incase you do start it?13:05
de-factoif found that rootkit that guy posted in #ubuntu some weeks ago, i did download it and stuffed in in a tar.gz in ~/Downloads13:05
lotuspsychje_ill dsiable it also13:05
Switcheslotuspsychje_: "disable all the things!" is your new motto?13:06
lotuspsychje_unneeded yes :p13:06
Switches:D13:06
lotuspsychje_i dont have bluetooth on this netbook, why enable it?13:07
de-factobecause it would be plug and play if you use it in future?13:07
SwitchesTrue, I guess it has a lot turnt on by default13:07
lotuspsychje_and im not sure why startup items dont show all system units aswell?13:07
de-factoi wish that rust manager would display dependencies in sytemd units, woudl be much easier to disable them then13:08
lotuspsychje_http://paste.ubuntu.com/16654786/13:10
lotuspsychje_here my disabled list13:10

ubot5life is something very few people know about in this channel - and anyway, it's probably offtopic, perhaps you want to try #ubuntu-offtopic13:14
SwitchesWouldn't know, not interested in boot speeds most the time as I rarely reboot xD13:14
lotuspsychjeSwitches: i dont like the idea of a pc 24/713:14

lotuspsychjesomewhere?13:18

BluesKajducasse, any vpn or vps /13:57

ducassevpn or vps?13:57
SwitchesAlways liked enlightenment till the 19 series. Aint tried it much since then13:57
ducassee19 is actually quite nice on multihead systems, used it on my desktop for a while, but there are soooo many ugly usability bugs.13:59
lotuspsychjeenlightment is cool13:59
lotuspsychjebut very buggy indeed13:59
ducassethe developers seem to have some strange priorities.13:59
Switchesducasse: Yeah I found that, couldn't work my way around them so just stuck to gnome13:59
BluesKajducasse, well vpn server service ..I've been trying to figutr out how to drop NM and go back to using network interfaces etc settings including my vpn service which relies on nm-openvpn.14:01

lotuspsychjeneither here14:13
ducassei will be getting an rpi3, though, so i can upgrade my rpi2 with openelec.14:14
lotuspsychjecool14:14
ducassecosts so little, so there's no reason not to :)14:15
ducassehave you seen this? https://www.nitrokey.com/14:16
lotuspsychjelets c14:16
lotuspsychjeducasse: neat!14:17
ducassethe storage thingy looks nice. verifiable firmware, hidden volumes and everything.14:18
ducasse*and* full linux support!14:18
lotuspsychjeyeah just browsing downloads14:18
lotuspsychjei wonder if its autorun proof on windows :p14:19
ducassei'm a bit annoyed that not all versions support u2f, but i already have the yubikey for that.14:20
lotuspsychjeyou know this one?14:21
lotuspsychje!info prey14:21
ubot5prey (source: prey): utility for tracking stolen computers. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.2-1.1 (xenial), package size 513 kB, installed size 1178 kB14:21
ducassehmm, nice. need to look closer at that.14:22
ducasseso many things in the repos, so little time to play with them :)14:22
lotuspsychjethe only thing i dont really like14:23
lotuspsychjeis the database happens online14:23
lotuspsychjeshould be the users choice, where to send stuff14:23
lotuspsychjelike your sisters email, example14:23
ducassesays it can call out to a custom url?14:24
lotuspsychjeducasse: yeah but customers are stored on their database14:25
lotuspsychjei dont really like paid plans and cloud storage, but thats personal :p14:26
ducasseme neither, i have a vps for all my stuff that needs to live in the 'cloud'.14:26
lotuspsychjeyeah14:27
\9I wonder could one put together a mini server farm with a few dozen Raspberry Pis14:27
ducasseyes, i've read an article on a pi cluster :)14:27
\9ha14:28
ducasse64 of them, iirc.14:28
lotuspsychjehttps://www.element14.com/community/community/raspberry-pi/blog/2016/03/16/build-servers-with-raspberry-pi-3-bitscope-blade14:28
lotuspsychjecluster is even more crazy ducasse14:29
ducasseyes, i wonder who would want to do that :)14:30
ducasseproof of concept, i guess.14:30
\9hmm yeah since they all use wifi, you don't even need to use any network cables14:30
\9hey14:30
\9it's a server cluster that you can take with you14:31
\9just need a cool enough case and it should be all self-contained and portalb14:31
\9portable14:31
ducassethat's something to whip up in a cafe :)14:31
lotuspsychjelol14:32
lotuspsychjein a business case-on-the-go server park14:33
\9hmm apparently they don't have much ram14:33
\9reading the comments14:33
\9heh a server farm in a briefcase14:33
\9I wonder could one just slip in a few SSDs for swap14:34
ducasseconnected to what?14:34
ducassethere's no sata.14:34
\9apparently SATA-USB adapters exist14:34
lotuspsychjebut usb would bottleneck14:34
\9hrm, true14:34
\9and having a ton of them would probably be costly14:35
BluesKajyeah it's the peripherals that add up14:37
lotuspsychjehttp://www.technology.org/2015/07/21/msata-ssd-for-the-raspberry-pi/14:38
lotuspsychjelol14:38
\9nevertheless the concept is most intriguing14:39
lotuspsychjeand cheap14:39
* ducasse has always wanted a cluster14:39
\9I've always too wanted a cluster, and never once figured out what on earth would I do with it14:40
ducasseme neither, but why is that important?14:40
Switcheshttp://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Systemd-Reverts-FBDEV-Change well thats good to see14:41
BluesKajwell, when this old pc dies , a small board like those rpi 's etc wll probly fit my neeeds14:42
ducassehttp://swaywm.org/14:44
ducasse*drool*14:44
lotuspsychjeducasse: neat14:56
lotuspsychjewe havent seen the end of this all14:56
BluesKaji don't have purist tendencies, and i agree that some guis are more useless than others, but I do love the terminal and what it can do.14:56
lotuspsychjethats the only thing that will never vanish :p good ol terminal14:57
ducasseBluesKaj: then you would love i3. the combination of i3, roxterm and tmux is *nice*. i almost never use the mouse.14:57
lotuspsychjewe all have our flavor likes14:59
BluesKajI'm not big on KB exclusivity, I still like the mouse14:59
ducassei just find the keyboard to be so much faster, except when i'm using a browser.15:00
lotuspsychjei like both worlds, eyecandy + power of the cli15:04
BluesKajive used instrument interfaces over the years on the job and I hated all the typing and shift keys with a passion so when we acquired intruments with monitor KB and mouse we rejoiced, so i guess the typing thing has never had much appeal to me since ;-)15:05
=== Oer is now known as OerHeks
BluesKajducasse, and i'm not a very good typist :-)15:22
lotuspsychjehey OerHeks15:24
ducasseBluesKaj: that's a *very* good argument :) actually, i'm on the hunt for a new mouse. i'm really picky, and i want something high-quality with many buttons. problem is many of the nice gaming mice requires windows software to configure.15:24
BluesKajducasse, yeah I'm not a gamer so a simple mouse with 3 ctrls is all I need15:26
ducasseBluesKaj: i don't want it for games, i want to bind functions to the buttons.15:27
* BluesKaj nods, understood15:27
Switchesducasse: Have a look at the Roccat Tyon, they have Linux drivers for a whole load of their keyboards, mice and headsets15:30
ducasseoh, thanks - i'll check them out.15:30
lotuspsychjenice one Switches15:31
SwitchesOh and ofc it also has a ppa with the roccat-tools15:31
lotuspsychjeSwitches: you wouldnt know some good laptop barebone companys?15:31
SwitchesNot barebone sorry lotuspsychje. I always just buy normal just stick to Lenovo or Toshiba15:32

Bashing-omHot swapping hard drives and in error pull your booting hard drive .. see how that messes up your day . Sure feels good though when you realize what you did !20:41
tsimonq2Bashing-om: depends if it's a server or desktop machine and what's running at the time :P20:45
Bashing-omtsimonq2: All fine .. but it can be amazing how quick the log files fill up !20:47
tsimonq2oh jeez, I didn't even consider that! O__O20:47
Bashing-omI have made more than my share of boo boos .. I now have /var ( learned from file server days ) always on a seperate partition to preclude /var/ filling up crashing the system .20:50
