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

[02:41] im trying to upgrade from 16.04 to 16.10 [02:42] this is my sources.list https://pastebin.com/N4ZQHx1y [04:02] Hey, does someone knows howto verify the signature of the xubuntu ISO file ; is there an howto web page ? [04:03] Hey, does someone knows howto verify the signature of a xubuntu ISO ; is there a howto/wiki about it ? [04:04] You can either use hashes or gpg. [04:04] !md5sum [04:04] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [04:05] @ubottu I already did that; but I'm not sure if it's sufficient ! [04:08] @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 !!! [04:09] @Uni193 see ubuntu howto : https://www.ubuntu.com/download/how-to-verify [04:13] So, aside from "verify data integrity", I'm trying to validate the signature :)  [06:24] hello first run xubuntu [06:24] installing now [06:28] can i use sudo apt-get dis-upgrade and apt-get update && upgrade [06:28] without causing any issues [06:29] I was warned about doing so in linux mint not sure why [06:57] hello guys [06:58] developers, whose working in xfce, finally fixed screen tearing: https://github.com/xfce-mirror/xfwm4/commit/b2c7463452de38e25e11cdb4fe2ce5faef9cc316 [06:58] on* [06:59] is there a proper way to install git version on my xubuntu? [07:02] enkeyz: for git stuff I 1 - apt-get build-deps 'package', git clone, ./autogen.sh, make, make install (or sudo make install) [07:03] but I use a crib sheet so don't ask me questions ;) [07:03] if it all goes wrong then make uninstall (sudo ...) [07:04] flocculant: I just make a git snapshot of the package. [07:04] Unit193: I expect you do :) [07:05] flocculant: https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/xfce4-gtk3 [07:05] look what did I find [07:05] enkeyz: well yea - I know about that and the other officialish xubuntu ppa's ;) [07:06] Unit193: can you test the git version, and maybe update ppa with the new version of xfvm4? [07:07] I'm sick of using compton, because it's outdated [07:08] 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 ) [07:09] Unit193: not much ;) I'd have to install vbox first and then 32 bit ... ;) [07:10] Unit193: so what's the solution? [07:11] I read #archlinux yesterday, they seems happy with git build. [07:25] enkeyz: Watching a movie at 3am, but looking into it now too. :P [07:26] :D [07:26] really appreciate it [07:30] Unit193: maybe it can be backposted [07:30] backported* [08:01] enkeyz: Well anyway, did you want the source package so you can test it and see if it's what you wanted? [08:01] yeah, sure. I can do that [08:03] can you package into a dpkg? [08:04] That'd be the source for building the 'deb' file, yep. Test built and everything, so it's good. [08:05] (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 ) [08:06] sure thing, but you don't do such a ting :D [08:06] *things [08:07] I'll check with clamav to be sure ROFL [08:08] You can get the source and build, or compare the source to `make distcheck` from git. [08:18] Unit193: totally not working right [08:19] after enabling composition, desktop is freezed, not clickable [08:19] What glitches? [08:19] Unit193: looks like it has some dependencies [08:20] enkeyz: You're on a 64bit system and did apt install ./xfwm4_4.13.0+git20170601+b2c74634-0aegir1_amd64.deb [08:21] i did it in VM first [08:21] i'll not mess with my production environment [08:22] but yeah, I installed with that command [08:23] Paste? [08:24] sec [08:30] 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. [08:32] enkeyz: Restarted xfwm4? [08:33] yep [08:33] same thing [08:34] Only output I got was (on my netbook): (xfwm4:7783): xfwm4-WARNING **: GL not available [08:34] Seems fine, doesn't kill itself at least. [08:34] it's working for you? [08:35] 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] (IIRC.) [09:24] enkeyz: Up, yeah. Hearing that it's causing the same issues under VM that it usually does. Guess that's still not fixed. :/ [10:02] Unit193: maybe we can figure something out in dev channel === lolpop- is now known as popz [13:36] Unit193: are you there? [13:38] are there premade grsec images for 17.04 ? [13:39] Unit193: try configure xfwm4-git with this command: ./configure --disable-xpresent --enable-epoxy [13:39] works perfectly [13:39] one of the devs posted a fix 2 hours ago, and not it's good [13:40] -not [13:40] and it's really good: screen tearing gone, and nobody need to use compton [19:43] 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] Olympus, try rebooting the router [19:44] diogenes_ thanks, I'll give that a try. [19:44] yw [20:08] diogenes_, That worked, thanks again.
