[05:52] good mornings [06:46] hi inetpro, all [07:01] morning all [07:01] morning peoples [08:11] morning nsnzero thatgraemeguy theblazehen inetpro paddatrapper [08:11] Morning andrewlsd [08:12] morning inetpro theblazehen nsnzero thatgraemeguy andrewlsd paddatrapper and all others [08:27] Morning chesedo, nsnzero, thatgraemeguy, inetpro, thatgraemeguy [08:30] morning thatgraemeguy andrewlsd paddatrapper chesedo and anyone i missed [08:32] good morning [13:56] question asked on ZA Tech slack #linux channel [13:56] " By any chance does someone know where I could find the default list of packages installed on Ubuntu server? [13:56] I know you can do this for Ubuntu desktop, [13:56] i.e. http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-14.04.5-desktop-amd64.manifest " [15:48] inetpro: the jigdo file (whatever that is) contains a list of deb files -> http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-14.04.5-server-amd64.jigdo [15:49] but with a server install one can choose which services to install so only a subset of that is used [18:17] inetpro: there are multiple ways to install Ubuntu server. I'd suggest looking at the packages depended on by ubuntu-standard / ubuntu-minimal, but really the best way to answer that is to install it and then dpkg -l [18:19] there's the packages debootstrap installs: Priority: required and (optionally) important [18:19] and their dependencies [18:19] and then there's whatever else you get from the tasks you select [19:16] evening folks [19:18] good evening [19:18] chesedo, tumbleweed: thanks for your response [19:19] hi inetpro [19:24] hi nsnzero [19:24] hi chesedo [19:33] today i learn't that the last command can show all previous successful logins - are there other such obscure commands that only googling will reveal ? [19:36] nsnzero: what's the first command? [19:36] :-) [19:36] lol [19:38] hopefully last is not the last command i will learn - what is the strange commands you use ? [19:39] exit [19:39] so many commands out there, I don't have any specifics in mind [19:39] * chesedo 's favorite is !! [19:40] people still find it very hard to believe that poweroff shuts down the pc [19:41] nsnzero: a2ps [19:41] and a space before a command will ensure that its not saved to history [19:42] any to post script - interesting [19:44] nsnzero: let's say I have a text file called "vlans" with contents as follows [19:44] VLAN Name Network [19:44] 10 Floor1 10.1.10.0/24 [19:44] 11 Floor2 10.1.11.0/24 [19:44] ... [19:45] and I just want to pretty-print that, I do as follows: [19:45] nl -b p^[1-9] vlans | a2ps -R --columns=1 --center-title="VLANS" -o output.ps [19:47] so you can print fancy stuff straight from the terminal - thats awesome [19:51] oh yes you can, I just prefer to put it in a file first then inspect with okular before I print [19:51] didnt know about nl as well [19:51] nl is awesome [19:52] comes in very handy to summarise information [19:53] i will have to try it sometime [19:56] take care inetpro - good night all - thanks for sharing [19:59] good night [20:00] Kilos-: gaan slaap [20:44] inetpro ek het [20:44] toe gaan krag af en genny start toe skrik ek wakker [20:45] en my plan met die router en lappy op ups werk nie om aanlyn te bly niw want daar is nog a eth hub wat moet ups krag kry [20:45] sug [20:46] night all. sleep tight
