lotuspsychje!wayland07:19
ubot5Wayland is a display server protocol that is intended to replace X. More information can be found at http://wayland.freedesktop.org/ . Ubuntu is instead focusing on development of !Mir; see its factoid for more information.07:19
lotuspsychjeanother factoid request lost in space :|07:19
ducassetoo bad, let's hope it will be changed today07:22
lotuspsychjeit feels like everything we say in main, getting changed07:22

brunch875g'morning lotuspsychje07:33
brunch875it's opened up pretty rainy today. Very pleasant for a spaniard like me07:34
lotuspsychjelolll07:34
lotuspsychjeolé olé07:34
jinkAny thoughts on https://github.com/google/google-authenticator-libpam ?07:34
ducassejink: "thoughts"?07:35
jinkDoes it work?  Does it add value?  Will I break everything when I just apt-get install it?07:35
brunch875depends on what your need is, jink07:35
brunch875but for my taste, it's just adding inconvenience everywhere07:36
jinkFair enough.07:36
ducassei have a similar setup, but with a yubikey.07:37
jinkI don't have a YubiKey.07:38
lotuspsychjeuh oh split comming up07:41
lotuspsychjemorning Dreyk & BobbyJr07:44

lordievaderGood morning07:58
lotuspsychjemorning lordievader07:59
lordievaderHey lotuspsychje07:59
lordievaderHow are you?07:59
lotuspsychjegreat here, grey day..lots of coffee, you lordievader ?07:59
immu_manjarogood morning08:21
brunch875_heya immu_manjaro, how's manjaro?08:22
immu_manjaroexcellent?08:22
lordievaderlotuspsychje: Doing good here :)08:27
lordievaderimmu_manjaro: It didn't break yet :P08:27
immu_manjarolordievader: nope lotuspsychje EriC^^ Nope08:28
immu_manjaroi installed skype, with manjaro pulling a deb file and installing skype :)08:30
immu_manjaroi have all the latest stuff, latest kernel and a non-hostile DE :)08:37
brunch875_that's one thing I'm liking about fedora08:44
brunch875_bleeding-edge08:44
brunch875_although I couldn't get btrfs backups to work08:44
brunch875_they should work as I'm handling them but the computer boots into rescue mode08:45
immu_manjarofedora , once upon a time know as Redhat, my second linux distro, my first distro started with the name C08:49
ducassebrunch875_: backups? you mean snapshots?08:49
brunch875_ducasse, precisely08:50
brunch875_my process is taking a snapshot and then to rollback I mount the root of the filesystem and move root to root_old and snapshot to root08:51
brunch875_then reboot the system08:51
brunch875_then undo at the recovery console :/08:52
immu_manjarowhy would you do all that? brunch875_08:52
ducasseto get snapshotting, probably08:52
brunch875_immu_manjaro, you mean rolling back? I broke something in the system and was too lazy to fix it08:53
brunch875_so I just rolled back08:53
brunch875_eventually I had to learn how to fix the broken thing since rollback was unsuccessful08:53
brunch875_what I don't remember anymore is what I broke. I tend to break things often08:54
immu_manjaroyou use fedora brunch875_ ?08:54
brunch875_at the moment, yes08:54
brunch875_but I get the feeling this issue is fedora-related08:55
brunch875_I've always looked at SELinux suspiciously08:55
ducassebrunch875_: snapshots are _nice_, though :) even though i prefer zfs myself, but i use btrfs for /09:05
brunch875_ducasse, are you successfully snapshotting with btrfs? Maybe you have some caveats for me :p09:07
brunch875_I'm probably just doing some rookie mistake09:07
ducassewhen rolling back, you mean?09:08
immu_manjarois btrfs stable?09:12
ducasseno09:12
ducasseit's stable enough for non-critical data. maybe. as long as you avoid certain features and the stars are aligned.09:15
immu_manjaroducasse: :)09:17
immu_manjaromost distro use Ext409:17
immu_manjarogood Manjaro kernel comes with BFQ enabled09:17
immu_manjaronoop deadline cfq [bfq]  ducasse see :)09:19
immu_manjarois blue here now? ducasse i don't see him? some budy give him a call09:19

BluesKaj'Morning folks10:08
ducassegood morning, BluesKaj10:11
BluesKaj'Morning ducasse10:12
immu_manjarohey BluesKaj morning10:19
BluesKajhi immu_manjaro10:20
immu_manjarolike yesterday i am on manjaro :) but KDE of course :)10:20
BluesKajwhy manjaro?  This is ubuntu discussion chat10:24
immu_manjaroi feel manjaro has better intergration with KDE, feels solid10:24
immu_manjaroi know its ubuntu, here, but we have KDE as common :)10:25
BluesKajthat probly just me, the rest use unity or gnome here10:26
BluesKajis10:26
immu_manjaroyup i know, KDE feels just like home, we can play so much around but for now i am keeping with defaults BluesKaj10:28
ducasseBluesKaj: have you tried running an install from a usb3 hdd?10:28
BluesKajyes on my laptop a few time s, ducasse10:29
ducassehow well did that work?10:29
ducassei'm thinking of setting up a basic install to use for rescue situations etc.10:30
BluesKajducasse, what usb protocol does a rpi3 have ? because I have a hdd connected to it containing / and the boot is on the sdcard , works fine10:33
BluesKajit might be only usb 2.0 , not sure10:34
ducassean rpi3 just has usb2 still, i think. it _might_ be usb3, but it won't be able to take advantage of the full bandwidth if it is.10:34
BluesKajyes 2.010:36
BluesKajjust checked10:36
lordievaderIs the ethernet port still on the same bus with the Rpi3?10:36
ducasseyep10:36
lordievader:(10:36
lordievaderToo bad.10:36
ducassegreat, isn't it? :)10:36
lordievaderYes, best decision ever.10:37
lordievaderIn the history of, maybe, ever.10:37
BluesKajthe rpi3 wifi works great, right out of the box10:37
BluesKajran ubuntu mate arm on it for a while , but mate isn't to my taste as a DE, but I do like the debian-jessie/raspbian pixel hybrid DE10:41
ducassei keep hearing good things about pixel. i've begun thinking about finding something else for playing media on my tv, though, the rpi is too slow.10:43
lotuspsychjegood afternoon to all10:44
BluesKajducasse, essentially all those android boxes for sale telling ppl to cy the cord with their cable and sat services are modded rpi boxes woth kodi imstalled on them10:45
ducassewb, lotus :)10:45
BluesKajhi lotuspsychje10:45
ducasseBluesKaj: yes, i was thinking more of a low/mid-end x86 box.10:45
lotuspsychjehey BluesKaj10:45
lotuspsychjetnx ducasse :p10:45
lotuspsychjedownloading qbittorrent windows version for my win appz on the road collection10:49
BluesKajthe amazon box or roku, ducasse?10:50
BluesKajqbittorrent is my choice too, very flexible and configurable torrent client10:52
ducasseBluesKaj: afaik neither is available here, so maybe an intel nuc.10:52
BluesKajthose are mini computers , not really a tv box..neat devices tho10:53
lotuspsychjeBluesKaj: other essentials on my stick are: winrar,vlc,drivermax,libreoffice,avira,firefox,classic shell,malwarebytes10:55
BluesKajwindows om a stick lotuspsychje ?10:56
ducasseBluesKaj: i know, but 1) i was thinking of running other services on it as well, and 2) i have the option of using it for a desktop or something later10:56
BluesKajon10:56
lotuspsychjeBluesKaj: no, windows appz on the stick to help customers when im on the road10:56
BluesKajducasse, yes , well i understand you have highend tech tastes so the intel nuc would be a good fit alright10:57
BluesKajlotuspsychje, ahh10:58
lordievaderlotuspsychje: You are missing Kitty/Putty :P10:58
lotuspsychjewhats kitty lordievader ?10:58
lordievaderAnd perhaps WinSCP10:58
lordievaderSSH client.10:58
lotuspsychjeah10:58
ducasseBluesKaj: if i find something cheaper that would work i'll go for it, but i'm not interested in no-name chinese crap :)10:59
BluesKajducasse, agreed 100% , I try to avoid chiese products as well after our kitchen stove conked out after 3 yrs....never agin , but it's difficult11:00
immu_manjaro:)11:01
ducassethe market is flooded with them online, but thankfully not here locally.11:01
immu_manjarobe careful11:02
immu_manjarotheir are good chinese products11:02
ducassewhen it comes to electronics, not many :)11:03
BluesKajthere might be, but like aI said it's difficult to separate the crap from the quality here in NA especially11:04
BluesKajwere flooded with junk products here11:04
BluesKajwe're11:05
ducasseeven if you find something decent, warranty etc is probably problematic.11:05
immu_manjaroyou can always read online reviews11:07
lotuspsychjewe know that immu_manjaro11:07
BluesKaj lots of reviews are fake11:09
immu_manjarolotuspsychje: then you have to trust your gut feeling11:13
ducassestuff from multinationals that was produced in china is a different thing, because they have different standards for qa etc and you get warranty. a no-name android box from china is not something i would trust enough to buy.11:15
immu_manjaroducasse: true11:16
immu_manjaroalways buy stuff made in your country or a branded name etc11:16
BluesKajimmu_manjaro, have you tried to find products not made in china? it's a difficult search11:20
ducasseotoh the chinese make and sell some 'interesting' electronic products (hdcp strippers etc) that are illegal to market in the west :)11:21
immu_manjaroover here in UAE/AE, we have most branded stuff made in china and elsewhere11:21
immu_manjarobranded stuff + made in china and after sales support from where you buy then its ok11:23
lotuspsychjewb EriC^^11:24
BluesKajHey EriC^^11:26
lotuspsychjeEriC^^ suggested me alibaba for chinese bulk stuff11:27
lotuspsychjebuy like a container full of electronics11:27
ducassemaybe half will work? ;)11:27
jinkHeh.11:27
lotuspsychjelol11:27
ducassei read about a guy here who bought a big spool of fiber from china, strung up on poles etc and connected to the nearest isp11:30
lotuspsychjecool11:30
ducassehe lived in a very rural place, so no company wanted to do it.11:31
lotuspsychjejungle DIY11:32
lotuspsychjebbl cake :p11:32
BluesKajducasse, was the connection to ISP negotiated ?11:39
immu_manjarolotuspsychje: alibab is a big B2B portal11:39
ducasseBluesKaj: what do you mean?11:39
BluesKajdid he steal the signal ?11:40
ducasseBluesKaj: no, he paid a standard 'business' fee, iirc11:40
immu_manjaroducasse: which place did that happ? cable11:41
ducasseBluesKaj: basically, he got 'one gigabit' instead of 'up to one gigabit' like consumers do11:42
BluesKajcool ;-)11:42
ducasseimmu_manjaro: where, you mean?11:42
immu_manjaroyeah11:43
ducassenorth of bergen, iirc11:45
immu_manjarook11:47
immu_manjarohow many are you upon ubuntu?12:30

EriC^^hey guys13:54
ducasse\o EriC^^13:55
EriC^^hey ducasse13:55
ducassei actually wanted to ask you something; are there any special requirements for setting up a usb drive for uefi boot?13:56
EriC^^just use sudo grub-install --force-extra-removable13:57
EriC^^so it also adds the efi in the path for removable media13:57
ducasseright, thanks. i'm setting up a base install for emergencies on an external drive, and vaguely recall running into some roadblock before with uefi.13:59
EriC^^i see14:03
ducassei see grub-install has a --removable option as well, i'll check out the info pages to see what the difference is.14:08
EriC^^is it just me or is stuff listed twice in the man page?14:11
ducassemust be some bug in the source file.14:13
ducasse"For removable installs you have to use '--removable' and specify both '--boot-directory' and '--efi-directory'"14:14
ducassethat's all it says about that.14:14
EriC^^ah14:16
EriC^^is it also repeating for you? like you have 2 of each option and the explanation?14:16
ducasseyes, after the first --skip-fs-probe14:17
ducasseso --target etc is only listed later14:17
EriC^^yup same here14:17
ducasseso it's in the package. you want to file a bug or shall i? :)14:18
ducasseit's probably just a trivial bug in the source used to generate the page. i wonder if it's the same in other locales?14:19
EriC^^go ahead :)14:21
ducasseok, i'll do it after dinner. i want to check a couple other locales first, now i'm curious ;)14:23
immuBluesKaj, ducasse EriC^^ did any one miss me?14:49
immuhmm15:01
BluesKajI was gone for while myself , but i don't think i was missed because I'm in and out 3-4 times/day15:05
