setoso i figure kde plasma various drivers chrome for my browser vlc and few other needed apps00:00
Bashing-omI like ! .. All I can say . Fast, light and your own configuration to suit your own use case . There is a steep learning curve .00:00
setostripping out stuff manually i got this install down to like 3 gb00:00
setowell i installed pure debian before00:00
setoso it shouldnt be to hard honestly00:01
setoi suspect that my wifi drivers will be there im just using a basic intel wifi card00:01
setoNetwork controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 83)00:02
Bashing-omwell, the trick is discovering what you do not have .. for instance anacron .00:02
Bashing-omseto: Nope .. no WIFI .. ya got to build it .00:02
setoahh crap00:02
setowont work then00:03
setouck wants to put all the tmp files in my home dir00:03
setomeanign i cant build because of no space00:03
setobleh typos00:03
Bashing-omset one can move /tmp to ram .00:04
setoyeh doubt that will work well lol00:05
seto2gb ram only on this thing lol00:05
setoi have lots of space on my 32gb sd card00:06
setobut not seeing much in the way of help for making uck use that00:06
Bashing-omYou want your cake and eat it too ? - install wired and build the WIFI ?? There are ways to trim down the install footprint . system directories elsewhere with symlinks ??00:09
setowell with this thing i got no wired lol00:10
setoi got 2x usb ports charge port and sd card slot and a hdmi thats it00:10
setosymlinks might be my only other option00:11
setowhat i wonder is how small i can got with ubuntu with kde plasma chrome and vlc00:13
setoim thinking pretty damn small really00:13
setoif/when i learn enough i might try putting together my own deb based distro00:14
Bashing-omseto: Well .. do not know .. From what I have seen tearing down to a small size is disaster prone .00:14
setoaim for something very tiny00:14
setoyeh can end up with a non functional system pretty fast lol00:15
Bashing-omseto: Tiny is "tiny core" .. or DSL . I do meam tiny ! But the amazing thing is that they work and are full featured .00:16
setoheheh dsl i remember that one00:16
Bashing-omDSL impresses me much. I have installed it on several clients with old old hardware they do not want to dump .00:17
setoim just wondering is dsl will run properly on my chrome book00:17
setodistros can be goofy with sound and vid on this thing00:18
Bashing-omseto: A d/l is quick .. soon find out .. I have not messeed with a chromebook .. so I do not know  other than there can be "problems" installing another OS .00:18
setowell this is already a full linux no chrome os setup00:19
setoi played with the chroot set up quite fun00:19
setobut quite limited on hd space lit barely 2gb remained00:19
setowas looking at tiny core all i can say is lol 12mb ....00:20
setomy biggest fear with dsl would be dependencies00:21
setolike i want vlc kde plasma and chrome full sound net and proper vid00:21
setoif it can do that the rest i can fiddle with00:21
Bashing-omseto: All I can say is I have installed DSL mostly Intel based .. and never a problem with the default/standard install .00:22
setowhat about installing various stuff like chrome etc?00:23
Bashing-omseto: Now that might be a problem .. the default browser is firefox . I have never changed it .00:24
setoyeh i play exactly one game and it is flash based00:25
setoff flash support blows fecking chunks00:25
Bashing-omseto: Agreed . Why I now run google-chrome . Shame on Adobe ,, My wife runs a graphics work station ; when flash failed us she had to return to Windows ..00:27
setoooooh nice whats the specs on the work station?00:27
setoi use to own a bit of history00:27
setoi had the sgi workstation that had the exact same specs as the ones used for the original jurasic park!00:28
setoi paid 4500 for it about 4 or 5 years after JP came out00:28
setoand put another 4500 in it to bring it up to date00:28
Bashing-omBad boy Intel with 16 Gigs ram . running Win10 .00:29
setonice all but 10 .....00:29
setoi wouldnt put ten on a system if you paid me 500 a day to run it lol00:29
setoi think that windows is gona be gone flat out with in5 years time00:30
setoMS screwed p to many times00:30
setothey had 4 major os flops now00:30
Bashing-omHey, not my choice, or my likes .. It is her system and her work .. and what she likes .. she does affirm she likes the new Win10 .00:30
setoME vista 8/8.1 and ten00:30
setothey had 2 (3 if you count 8 and 8.1 seperately) flops in a row00:31
daftykinspathetic opinion regarding Windows00:31
daftykinsno doubt you've read into the classic sensational rubbish online :)00:32
setonot really00:32
Bashing-omdetI have a distict aversion to anyuthing Windows . I came up open source, tried Windows .. and came running back to open source .. settled on ubuntu // from ubuntu I have looked at no other .00:32
setoi work on comps all the time lol00:32
setocomp tech with 22 years under my belt00:32
daftykinsgone in 5 years when you still have to edit xorg.conf to get ubuntu working on certain configs? get real00:32
daftykinscan't be that good at what you do then00:32
setoactually im very good00:32
daftykinshah modest too00:33
setothe problem is windows 10 is a jacked up spyish os00:33
setowhy be modest?00:33
daftykinscareful, your tinfoil body suit is showing00:33
setono tinfoil here00:33
setoi use to be a windows fan00:33
setoall i used was windows as my main os00:33
setoi just know what i see00:34
daftykinsno you're regurgitating what the news sites have said00:34
setoI just did a computer the other day that had a windows 10 auto and forced (basically) update00:34
setothe system no longer boots at all00:34
daftykinsreports of that are dubious at best00:35
setohad to reinstall windows 8.1 from bootable usb to fix it00:35
setodubious?00:35
setothis guy never clicked on any thing00:35
setohe comes in to work and his system is hanging on boot00:35
setowe got it booted once00:35
setoand was presented with the windows 10 desk top00:35
setohe clicked the x on the upgrade notice box a few days prior00:36
setothinking it would do as it always does and cancle the box00:36
setocancel even00:36
daftykinsyou don't need to keep pressing enter btw, gets quite spammy00:36
setoinstead that is the same as agreeing to the install00:36
setosorry00:36
setoand there are others who have had the same issue that i have worked on. Some just do not like 10 others had no clue it was going to install etc00:37
daftykinsi think they're just biased from the fear of change, so they're soured against it for that reason00:38
setowell i like allot of people like some of the changes to 1000:38
setobut not the way ms is basically forcing it on people thats just a bad idea00:39
setoas for fear of change in the last 5 or 6 weeks i have installed kubuntu on prob 15 or so systems for my customers00:39
setoand sense when does deb have live cd images? ...00:40
daxdebian? about a decade00:41
setowith live cds?00:41
daxyes00:41
daxthey're not default, but they're there00:41
setoi never seen it with a live desk top based install00:41
setowell damn lol00:41
setomy issues just got solved ....00:41
setoi know i can strip a deb install way the hell down00:42
setomy issue with debian was no internet at install time00:42
setoi suspect i can get deb to sub 3 gb install with lots of ease00:42
NorbyDroidThank you Bashing-om.01:04
NorbyDroidI have been runnin a test on the drive and I will say it definately needs to be replaced.01:04
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: Me .. I say again .. KISS .. I like it simple .01:05
daftykinsSMART data > SMART tests01:05
NorbyDroidQuite.01:05
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: Ouch ! I got a flakey drive too I have to replace .01:05
NorbyDroidSmart tests say the drive is good but the actual surface and other tests reveals alof of bad read/write areas.01:06
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: daftykins is great on SMART results .01:06
daftykinssome call me... the disk killer01:07
NorbyDroidThe system I am workin to use as a main system for my project is an old tablet computer (laptop) Centrino Duo (dual core) 2Ghz 2GB ram.01:07
daftykinsCentrino is not a processor01:07
NorbyDroidThe project is originally DOS but I also have it in Linux.  It is all text no graphics and includes time, date, progress bars, a robot, train, earth and moon, and a calendar for creating events that will be displayed on the train.01:08
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: Got another drive handy .. or is the project at a stand still ?01:16
NorbyDroidI work on it with multiple computers and OS so definately not at a standstill.  I don't have another drive for the laptop and considering 1) 16GB SSD, SD->SATA adapter, or another SATA hard drive.01:20
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: UuuHHH.. SSD fast ! Not evem another thought .01:23
daftykins16GB though? that's not an SSD01:24
NorbyDroidQuite, but I don't need speed.01:25
NorbyDroidYes it is.  Let me find the link.01:25
NorbyDroidhttp://www.amazon.com/Kingspec-KSD-SA25-7-Channel-Internal-Solid/dp/B00JYB99O4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF801:27
NorbyDroidI am doin alot of research before I make my final decision.01:29
OerHekslol 8 gb .. http://www.amazon.com/KingDian-Advertising-machine-client-Router/dp/B014VT6MLQ01:30
NorbyDroidI think that title is definately wrong.  It seems to be just a normal SSD not anything else.01:34
daftykinsi wouldn't touch that01:36
NorbyDroidI look at reviews.  The more the better.  Ones with very little to none are really iffy and should be approached with extreme caution.01:38
NorbyDroidover 500 errors so far.  Definately a bad drive.01:40
daftykins"smartctl -a /dev/sdx" <-- all that's needed01:51
setowell 2 hours 30 more minutes till me deb live cd is finished dling lol02:00
* daftykins looks at the channel name02:01
OerHeksjust keep on watching youtube while you wait, seto02:02
NorbyDroidPlease define ranting.02:02
setoheheh how did you know :p02:02
NorbyDroidOkay, don't tell me, but I took an 80GB sata outa an xp laptop and gonna try the ubuntu net install again.  Didn't want to but....02:38
daftykinswhy net install?02:40
NorbyDroidI wanna have the barest possible install and that is the only way I know to do it.  Just the command interface, x11, package support and internet.02:41
NorbyDroidAnd whatever is needed for said items.02:41
daftykinsmmhmm.02:42
NorbyDroidNot sayin that what I wanna do will succeed, but I am gonna give it a go and see what happens.  Can't do any harm.02:42
NorbyDroidActually I find tryin out stuff to be quite enjoyable.02:43
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: You are not only held tp a netinstall for a minimal install ; See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD .02:45
NorbyDroidotw02:45
NorbyDroidThat is what I use.  The mini.iso image for Ubuntu 16.0402:46
NorbyDroid32Bit edition02:46
NorbyDroidCalled NetBoot02:46
daftykinsno, net boot is deb talk02:51
lotuspsychjegood morning to all03:38
tntsp1Good morning.03:38
tntsp1I've recently installed Lubuntu on a few older computers. I'd love to pick up some tips on using it to its full potential from a few old hats. Do ya'll have any favorite pieces of software/applications for ubuntu?03:43
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: o/ ; shift change already ?03:43
lotuspsychjehey Bashing-om im bit early :p03:44
lotuspsychjetntsp1: defenatly preload03:44
lotuspsychje!info preload | tntsp103:44
ubot5tntsp1: preload (source: preload): adaptive readahead daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.4-2 (xenial), package size 34 kB, installed size 135 kB03:44
Bashing-omOH get your IRC quota before "work" ?03:44
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: tuesday my 2 weeks course starts :p03:45
Bashing-omWell, we all look forward to the tid bits that get added into the IRC pantry .03:46
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: i wont leave for sure, but it will shorten my online times03:47
tntsp1This sounds like a great application, even for low RAM systems. I'm now taking notes. Any others? Free games, like supertuxkart?03:49
lotuspsychjetntsp1: yeah for games check software center03:53
lotuspsychjetntsp1: mupdf and smplayer are nice, powerfull and lightweight03:53
tntsp1lotuspsychje: I have and telling which games are decent is difficult, to say the least. Why smplayer over VLC?03:57
lotuspsychjetntsp1: i found smplayer lighter then vlc on many 1080p movies03:59
lotuspsychjetntsp1: depends mostly on the graphics card ofcourse, but still smplayer is a nice piece of software04:00
tntsp1lotuspsychje: That makes sense, although the system currently only has a 360p screen. I'll have to install it over VLC from now on, if it is less resource hungry.04:02
lotuspsychjewe recently discussed how robots will take over jobs here...04:13
lotuspsychjecheck this out: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-3637696604:14

ducassemorning all06:17
lotuspsychjehey ducasse :p06:22
ducasseyou good, lotuspsychje? :)06:22
lotuspsychjegreat and yourself ducasse ?06:22
ducassebright-eyed and bushy-tailed ;)06:23
ducassei've ordered the mikrotik router, and am waiting for lg to get back to me on how to unlock the bootloader on my phone. today i hpåe to do a little work on the ppa-purge wrapper Eric^^ and I were working on.06:26
ducasse*hope06:26
lotuspsychjecool06:27
ducassetrying to rewrite the main part in sed, but i'm just so bad with regexps :(06:28
lotuspsychjeyeah im not script wizard myself, sed aint easy06:28
lotuspsychjeducasse: how much did the router cost?06:29
ducassei got it brand-new for about half price, about £65.06:30
lotuspsychjeneat06:30
ducassehttp://routerboard.com/RB2011iL-RM06:31
lotuspsychjenice piece06:33
ducassei'm just going to use it as a firewall + switch, so it should be good. i have a few 100mbps clients (like the rpi), so 5 gbps ports is enough. i use an openwrt router as an ap.06:34
lotuspsychjegreat06:35
ducassei think it will be fine. do you have any experience with any of the httpd daemons?06:37
lotuspsychjeno sorry06:47
BluesKajHowdy folks09:22
ducassehi, BluesKaj09:22
BluesKajHi ducasse09:23
BluesKajwoke up early09:23
ducassei've been up for a few hours, it's *pouring* down here.09:25
BluesKajwarm and humid here today, 30C and 90% humidity09:27
BluesKajforecast09:27
ducasse30 is too hot for me, can't stand anything over 25 :)09:28
BluesKajwe're becoming used to the warmer temps and ppl are buying A/C systems or having them installed much more than in past yrs09:30
ducassewinters have gotten warmer here, but i haven't noticed it in the summers. when i was a kid we regularly had -30° and a meter of snow for four mmonths, now we might have -15 and 20cm.09:34
BluesKajlast winter was much milder than the previous, but we still have the odd -25 cold nights09:37
ducassenights might get that cold here, but not days. at least not for several years. but i live pretty far south.09:41
ducassei'm trying to choose a web server daemon for my ubuntu vps, not sure if i should go with one of the big ones or use something lightweight.09:43
BluesKajwell, by european stds we're quite far south, but not by NA perspective09:43
BluesKajdunno anything about vps , never had the need for one i guess09:46
ducassei use it as a mail server, and so i have access to a familiar shell with my usual tools when i can't reach my home network. now i need to serve a few static pages, stuff like my public gpg key etc.09:48
BluesKajwe have simple needs , gmail webmail works for our setups09:53
ducassefor many it does, but i don't want google scanning my mail to push the most profitable ads at me. never mind who they might share them with.09:55
BluesKajadblock works09:58
ducassesure, i never actually see ads, but that's not the point - my mail should be private. i encrypt a lot of it anyway, but i still don't want it to be automatically scanned by anyone.10:01
ducassebut that's just my opinion. i'm pretty particular about things like that.10:02
BluesKajnever had anything worriesome happen using gmail. It's just ordinary family or friends correspondence10:08
ducassesure, i think europeans might feel more strongly about privacy in general...10:10
BluesKajmy family is originally from Finland, we emigrated to Canada in 1947 when i was a small child, but we were never more private than most of the people born here, they were actually more private than what our family was used to.10:19
BluesKajfear of strangers, suspicious10:20
ducassepossible. north americans seem more willing to accept mass-surveillance than we do, though. also, the government here heavily advocates using encryption. unlike the us, for example.10:24
ducasse...and we actually _have_ data protection laws. dunno about canada, though, i admit that.10:25
BluesKaji have nothing to hide anyway , live a pretty ordinary life , don't think we draw much attention10:26
ducasseme neither. but i don't think "if you have nothing to hide..." is any kind of argument. we all have things we like to keep private.10:27
ducasseanother thing is that i just like things like email to be under my control. i can do what i want with the server, set up any fubctionality i might want, and tailor it to suit my needs. but it's too much work for most people, i recognize that. email can be hard to administer correctly.10:32
ducasse*functionality10:32
BluesKajof course, but there are some things we don't talk about in public anyway, encrypted or not, that's my POV10:32
ducassei don't view email as "in public" :)10:33
BluesKaj you must, otherwise why the encryption ?10:35
ducasseyou need to expressly take action to intercept someone's email, and not anyone can do it. it's still a semi-private conversation that nobody except sender and recipient has any business reading.10:37
BluesKajwell, then privacy is a matter of degree, and I regard email/webmil as public if it can be intercepted by intersted parties, that's all , but I don't think my emails are all that interesting :-)10:40
ducasseunder our laws, email is considered private. i just have a problem with facebook and google having so much information on people, so i use neither.10:45
ducassebut my emails are _not_ interesting either :-)10:45
BluesKajof course emails are private correspondence under most democratic countries' laws, that's a given, but there are plenty of lawbrekers out there10:47
ducassethat's why i encrypt :)10:48
BluesKajand tha's why i look at email as public, but I still see the point of encrypting ordinary email, because  who really cares anyway?10:51
BluesKajdon't see the point  :-)10:52
ducasseit's just so easy to set up, so in my opinion - why not? :) of course, i still correspond with people who don't use pgp, and i don't insist on it. i'm not fanatical about it or anything.10:53
ducassebut if anyone were to decrypt my emails they would be terribly disappointed to have expended the effort :) no plots to overthrow any governments :)10:59
NorbyDroidBashing-om, It sems the 16.04 is broken at this time.  All tests in virtual and live systems it goes through the install fine but once completed ya cannot get in without goin through the 'Recovery Mode'.  14.04 and 15.10 do work as expected.17:11
NorbyDroidThe mini.iso installs.17:12
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: Ouch .. I have not to this time looked at the 16.04 mini . Do not know what to say other than verify the md5sums .17:16
NorbyDroidJust lettin ya know my tests.  No worries.  Gonna use the 15.10 for now.17:18
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: I do appreciate the heads up and I do intend a fresh clean install of 16.04 mini when I get a longed for SSD to install onto .17:19
NorbyDroidBashing-om, Okay.  Let me know when ya do and the results.  Thank you.17:20
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: Maybe a while as finances are tight right now .17:21
NorbyDroidBashing-om, I know how that is all too well.17:21
Bashing-omMy system is "crippled" with an un-reliable hard drive .. but I can limp along 'til I can do better ,, and the better is - I want an SSD !17:24
NorbyDroidThat is understandable.17:25
BluesKajthe samsung evo 850s are on sale at amazon Bashing-om ...I think17:25
Bashing-omBluesKaj: Well .. will have to check .. Presently if $100.00 were on sale for $10.00, I would not be able to purchase :) Daughters !17:28
BluesKajBashing-om, understood , i have 3 duaghters , all grown and gone now , but I recall very well what you mean. :-)17:29
Bashing-omBluesKaj: Be prepared .. Daughters can return with more bodies in tow than they left with .17:31
BluesKajdaughters even...it already happened17:32
OerHeksal least you don't have to trim daughters.17:33
BluesKajno trim needed for the newer ssds17:33
BluesKajaltho I suppose it can't hurt17:34
OerHeksjust finished chicken and rice .. or should i have waited for the chicken17:35
Bashing-omChicken is good, in some instances serves better than an SSD .17:37
OerHeksyes, they are picky17:38
Bashing-omDone advised daughters, they can cease being picky - daddy wants his SSD ( and a decent Nvidia graphic's card ).17:41
ducassei'm lookin for a nice m.2 ssd for my desktop to replace a sata ssd, can't decide between samsung and intel.17:43
Bashing-omducasse: Samsung is really playing their new controller algorythims up ... sure looks enticing for the money as compared to what Intel wants .17:45
ducasseyes, the 950 looks nice. i'll probably go for that as the other ssd (the one i'll keep) in that machine is samsung.17:46
BluesKajducasse, the M2 are almost twice the price of the sata17:47
ducassei know, but *much* faster :)17:48
BluesKajdon't see how it could get much faster on this old pc , proly can't use the M2 type anyway17:49
ducassei'm just getting a small one for / anyway, i have a big sata ssd for /home - good enough.17:49
BluesKajyeah, I have  / and /home on this ssd , but all the media files are on an outboard sata drive17:51
ducasseall the media and stuff is on my zfs mirror on the nfs server, i don't care about speeds for that. root and home, however...17:53
NorbyDroidI am fully functional now.  Had to go and use 14.04  including wifi.22:24
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: Outstanding ! Glad ya made it .22:27
NorbyDroidNot as much as I Bashing-om.22:28
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: I can imagine .. logging .. check that you need 'anacron' I had to install it in my 1st install way bck .22:29
Bashing-omback*22:29
NorbyDroidI don't get why I can't boot via 15.10/16.04 installs, but 14.04 seems to be fully functional so will start there.22:30
NorbyDroidI have wifi (usin an external wifi usb stick) so that is a plus.22:31
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: I do not have a clue why 15.10+ would have issues . but 14.04 will upgrade when the need arises :)22:32
NorbyDroidThat is good.22:33
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: I am a nut about my logs. check ' cat /etc/crontab ' is "anacron" required in your install per that file ?22:35
NorbyDroidone moment and i'll check.22:35
NorbyDroidIt is mentioned 3 times in the file.22:39
NorbyDroid/usr/sbin/anacron22:39
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: Took me a WHILE to fugure out in that initial install that anacron is not installed . check ' dpkg -l anacron ' .22:40
NorbyDroidun anacron none none no description22:44
NorbyDroidI guess it might not be installed22:44
NorbyDroidWhat is that needed for?22:44
NorbyDroidI have the compiler I use and the dependencies installed.  Now I have to transfer over my source files and compile and run it to see if it works.22:45
NorbyDroidWhere is the pizza and party hats?  rofl22:45
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: Logging . do : ' apt show anacron ' for an eyefull .22:46
Bashing-omAfter all the effort, and expectation .. past and future .. you are for sure ready to celebrate .. bring on the party !22:48
NorbyDroidlol22:48
NorbyDroidOkay I now have alot of learning to get used to the linux command line.22:49
NorbyDroidI am already well versed in the art of DOS, but this is a new turkey.22:49
NorbyDroidIf I hook up a USB stick to the USB port, how do I get it usable?22:50
NorbyDroidI know mount and umount are commands to actually connect/disconnect it22:50
Bashing-omNorbyDroid: System will auto detect -- ouch no desktop . let's stick it in and see what the logs say ' tail -f /var/log/syslog ' and them connect the usb drive . Generally  gvfs will pick up and mount it .. no GUI not sure what will happen .22:53
NorbyDroidoops already connected it.22:54
