| ddaughtrey | How do I check how much of my swap file is being used? If that's an actual question. | 00:29 |
|---|---|---|
| ddaughtrey | It shouldn't be 0 right? | 00:30 |
| holla | free -m | 00:32 |
| holla | it's okay when it's zero - that means you have enough ram installed | 00:32 |
| ddaughtrey | Ok yeah I see that I have a 6GB swap available. | 00:38 |
| ddaughtrey | When I first installed xubuntu everything was running great and it was very responsive. | 00:39 |
| ddaughtrey | But now it is very, very sluggish. Like it's constantly trying to do something. the laptop I'm using is only a few years old. | 00:39 |
| holla | top | 00:42 |
| holla | gives you a hint about what's going on | 00:42 |
| ddaughtrey | Ok is there something I should be looking for? | 00:44 |
| holla | load of course and then wa | 00:45 |
| ddaughtrey | Load doesn't look terrible, from what I can tell. And the highest wa got while watching it was 5.1 | 00:47 |
| ddaughtrey | Firefox looks to be a bit aggressive, but other than that everything looks normal. | 00:48 |
| holla | well 5.1 is a bit high imho for a single user pc | 00:48 |
| ddaughtrey | I just stopped top and it was at 10.1... | 00:49 |
| holla | wa means that some process wants to write to your disc, but has to wait | 00:49 |
| holla | it should be around 0 all or most of the time | 00:50 |
| holla | maybe you could run 'smartclt'? | 00:50 |
| ddaughtrey | ...if it won't run smartclt I should install that right? (I'm totally experienced and know what's going on) | 00:52 |
| holla | ??? | 00:52 |
| holla | well with a laptop 'a few yrs old' i thought maybe it's about time for a new hdd | 00:53 |
| ddaughtrey | smartclt returns command not found | 00:53 |
| holla | but please don't panic - that's just one possiblity | 00:53 |
| holla | smartmon-tools | 00:53 |
| holla | it's for testing your hdd | 00:54 |
| ddaughtrey | It seems I need to install smartmontools so I'm doing that. | 00:55 |
| holla | it's useful anyway - good to have | 00:58 |
| holla | do you have iotop installed? | 00:59 |
| ddaughtrey | holla: I don't think so. I think someone had told me to install an equivalent, but I am tired and can't remember what it is. | 01:06 |
| holla | come back tomorrow | 01:07 |
| ddaughtrey | Yeah I'll be back. I was able to run smartctl though | 01:10 |
| holla | do the long run ;) | 01:10 |
| holla | smartctl -t long /dev/sda <- or whatever | 01:10 |
| ddaughtrey | Hah 195 minutes to complete?! | 01:14 |
| ddaughtrey | They took the word long seriously | 01:15 |

| pjconnect | Hey, does someone knows howto verify the signature of the xubuntu ISO file ; is there an howto web page ? | 04:02 |
| pjconnect | Hey, does someone knows howto verify the signature of a xubuntu ISO ; is there a howto/wiki about it ? | 04:03 |
| Unit193 | You can either use hashes or gpg. | 04:04 |
| Unit193 | !md5sum | 04:04 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 04:04 |
| pjconnect | @ubottu I already did that; but I'm not sure if it's sufficient ! | 04:05 |
| pjconnect | @Unit193 An ubuntu howto webpage says I need to "Get the key used for the signature from the Ubuntu key server". I assume it's similar for xubuntu !!! | 04:08 |
| pjconnect | @Uni193 see ubuntu howto : https://www.ubuntu.com/download/how-to-verify | 04:09 |
| pjconnect | So, aside from "verify data integrity", I'm trying to validate the signature :) | 04:13 |
| xubuntu09i | hello first run xubuntu | 06:24 |
| xubuntu09i | installing now | 06:24 |
| xubuntu09i | can i use sudo apt-get dis-upgrade and apt-get update && upgrade | 06:28 |
| xubuntu09i | without causing any issues | 06:28 |
| xubuntu09i | I was warned about doing so in linux mint not sure why | 06:29 |
| enkeyz | hello guys | 06:57 |
| enkeyz | developers, whose working in xfce, finally fixed screen tearing: https://github.com/xfce-mirror/xfwm4/commit/b2c7463452de38e25e11cdb4fe2ce5faef9cc316 | 06:58 |
| enkeyz | on* | 06:58 |
| enkeyz | is there a proper way to install git version on my xubuntu? | 06:59 |
| flocculant | enkeyz: for git stuff I 1 - apt-get build-deps 'package', git clone, ./autogen.sh, make, make install (or sudo make install) | 07:02 |
| flocculant | but I use a crib sheet so don't ask me questions ;) | 07:03 |
| flocculant | if it all goes wrong then make uninstall (sudo ...) | 07:03 |
| Unit193 | flocculant: I just make a git snapshot of the package. | 07:04 |
| flocculant | Unit193: I expect you do :) | 07:04 |
| enkeyz | flocculant: https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/xfce4-gtk3 | 07:05 |
| enkeyz | look what did I find | 07:05 |
| flocculant | enkeyz: well yea - I know about that and the other officialish xubuntu ppa's ;) | 07:05 |
| enkeyz | Unit193: can you test the git version, and maybe update ppa with the new version of xfvm4? | 07:06 |
| enkeyz | I'm sick of using compton, because it's outdated | 07:07 |
| Unit193 | enkeyz: 4.13.0 has quirks, not really pushing that forward (and in the same line, likely not going to push a git snapshot to that PPA since it'll be 4.13+extras. Unless flocculant wants to see if the 32bit vbox quirks are gone. :P ) | 07:08 |
| flocculant | Unit193: not much ;) I'd have to install vbox first and then 32 bit ... ;) | 07:09 |
| enkeyz | Unit193: so what's the solution? | 07:10 |
| enkeyz | I read #archlinux yesterday, they seems happy with git build. | 07:11 |
| Unit193 | enkeyz: Watching a movie at 3am, but looking into it now too. :P | 07:25 |
| enkeyz | :D | 07:26 |
| enkeyz | really appreciate it | 07:26 |
| enkeyz | Unit193: maybe it can be backposted | 07:30 |
| enkeyz | backported* | 07:30 |
| Unit193 | enkeyz: Well anyway, did you want the source package so you can test it and see if it's what you wanted? | 08:01 |
| enkeyz | yeah, sure. I can do that | 08:01 |
| enkeyz | can you package into a dpkg? | 08:03 |
| Unit193 | That'd be the source for building the 'deb' file, yep. Test built and everything, so it's good. | 08:04 |
| Unit193 | (I don't like giving people debs directly, as they shouldn't download and install random stuff from the internet... https://sigma.unit193.net/source/xfwm4_4.13.0+git20170601+b2c74634-0aegir1_amd64.deb ) | 08:05 |
| enkeyz | sure thing, but you don't do such a ting :D | 08:06 |
| enkeyz | *things | 08:06 |
| enkeyz | I'll check with clamav to be sure ROFL | 08:07 |
| Unit193 | You can get the source and build, or compare the source to `make distcheck` from git. | 08:08 |
| enkeyz | Unit193: totally not working right | 08:18 |
| enkeyz | after enabling composition, desktop is freezed, not clickable | 08:19 |
| Unit193 | What glitches? | 08:19 |
| enkeyz | Unit193: looks like it has some dependencies | 08:19 |
| Unit193 | enkeyz: You're on a 64bit system and did apt install ./xfwm4_4.13.0+git20170601+b2c74634-0aegir1_amd64.deb | 08:20 |
| enkeyz | i did it in VM first | 08:21 |
| enkeyz | i'll not mess with my production environment | 08:21 |
| enkeyz | but yeah, I installed with that command | 08:22 |
| Unit193 | Paste? | 08:23 |
| enkeyz | sec | 08:24 |
| enkeyz | Unit193: looks like it doesn't require any dependency. But log files don't show a thing. Enable composition after installing it, and boom. Desktop freezed. | 08:30 |
| Unit193 | enkeyz: Restarted xfwm4? | 08:32 |
| enkeyz | yep | 08:33 |
| enkeyz | same thing | 08:33 |
| Unit193 | Only output I got was (on my netbook): (xfwm4:7783): xfwm4-WARNING **: GL not available | 08:34 |
| Unit193 | Seems fine, doesn't kill itself at least. | 08:34 |
| enkeyz | it's working for you? | 08:34 |
| Unit193 | So far, but problems were in a 32bit VM. When you started up, no desktop and it basically painted a window over everything so you couldn't interact. | 08:35 |
| Unit193 | (IIRC.) | 08:35 |
| Unit193 | enkeyz: Up, yeah. Hearing that it's causing the same issues under VM that it usually does. Guess that's still not fixed. :/ | 09:24 |
| enkeyz | Unit193: maybe we can figure something out in dev channel | 10:02 |
| === lolpop- is now known as popz | ||
| enkeyz | Unit193: are you there? | 13:36 |
| popz | are there premade grsec images for 17.04 ? | 13:38 |
| enkeyz | Unit193: try configure xfwm4-git with this command: ./configure --disable-xpresent --enable-epoxy | 13:39 |
| enkeyz | works perfectly | 13:39 |
| enkeyz | one of the devs posted a fix 2 hours ago, and not it's good | 13:39 |
| enkeyz | -not | 13:40 |
| enkeyz | and it's really good: screen tearing gone, and nobody need to use compton | 13:40 |
| Olympus | cannot seem to get the 17.04 live dvd to connect to the internet. It sees the router but will not connect with my password. | 19:43 |
| diogenes_ | Olympus, try rebooting the router | 19:43 |
| Olympus | diogenes_ thanks, I'll give that a try. | 19:44 |
| diogenes_ | yw | 19:44 |
| Olympus | diogenes_, That worked, thanks again. | 20:08 |
