| francisco | hi | 04:14 |

| RobertBerger | Hi. I am searching for a solution (preseed?) or command line to automate adding of 2 keyboard layouts (en,de) to Ubuntu/Mate. System->Preferences->Hardware->Keyboard->Layout (English US, German) | 04:56 |
| RobertBerger | Please let me know if/how you have done something like that | 04:57 |
| alkisg | I'm using "debian-installer/language=el keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=gr", and this puts the default keyboard layouts for Greece, which are us,gr | 04:59 |
| alkisg | Dunno about de | 04:59 |
| alkisg | Note though that this is a xorg/console setting, and mate just inherits it, so it's unrelated to the desktop environment | 05:00 |
| RobertBerger | @alkisg You mean with preseed? | 05:28 |
| alkisg | RobertBerger: yes, although I'm actually using the cmdline to pass those | 05:29 |
| alkisg | It's easier when you only have a couple of values | 05:29 |
| RobertBerger | I use Forman/Puppet/preseed and this seems to be the only missing piece at the moment | 05:30 |
| RobertBerger | I'll give it a try. Thanks | 05:30 |
| RobertBerger | BTW where in Greece are you. I am currently in Maroussi. | 05:30 |
| alkisg | Haha, nice, I'm in Ioannina, to the top/left of the map | 05:31 |
| RobertBerger | Hehe - well not quite around the corner ;) | 05:32 |
| alkisg | What are you using foreman etc for? | 05:32 |
| alkisg | Many disposable machines there? | 05:32 |
| RobertBerger | I am doing trainings | 05:33 |
| RobertBerger | So I need to provision a couple of laptops | 05:33 |
| RobertBerger | Also I am trying to make my infrastructure somehow reproduce-able | 05:34 |
| alkisg | Have you seen ltsp? | 05:34 |
| RobertBerger | Yes I played around with edubuntu. | 05:38 |
| RobertBerger | This would not work for my use case I think, since I am into Embedded LInux | 05:38 |
| RobertBerger | People need to cross-compile on the machines | 05:38 |
| alkisg | ltsp is about netbooting any computers with any os that you want | 05:42 |
| alkisg | So you e.g. setup an ubuntu-mate template machine, and directly netboot the clients with that | 05:42 |
| alkisg | And you setup all the infrastructure that you want , cross compilers etc, in the template machine | 05:43 |
| alkisg | The bonus there is that you do all that graphically from synaptic etc, without learning about foreman, puppet, preseeding etc | 05:43 |
| RobertBerger | I did something like that from a school with the difference that the thin clients did not even have hard discs inside and everything ran form a server | 05:47 |
| RobertBerger | for a school | 05:48 |
| alkisg | It's not different, that's the way ltsp works, without disks | 05:50 |
| alkisg | And it supports both thin and fat clients (thin run the session on the server, fat locally on the client) | 05:51 |
| alkisg | All diskless | 05:51 |
| alkisg | So you only need to maintain one template installation, nothing else at all | 05:51 |
| RobertBerger | I have scenarios with 10 laptops. Each is an i7 with 8 threads and the bottleneck is disc I/O. | 06:00 |
| RobertBerger | while compiling ;) | 06:00 |
| RobertBerger | Well yocto building | 06:00 |
| RobertBerger | Need to leave now - delivering a training - CU | 06:00 |

| monkey | Hi guys.. how can i make a NTFS file system win 10 bootable usb from ubuntu mate | 20:25 |
| Akuli | oh you're here too lets talk here so others can help too :) | 20:28 |
| Akuli | how familiar are you with the terminal? | 20:28 |
| monkey | newbie..dunno anything | 20:28 |
| Akuli | ok | 20:28 |
| Akuli | there are gui ways to do this too, might be nicer fro you | 20:29 |
| monkey | ok | 20:29 |
| Akuli | do you want to try it the terminal way? | 20:29 |
| Akuli | personally i trust terminal tools more, they always work | 20:29 |
| monkey | anything is fine...if i can understand | 20:29 |
| Akuli | sure | 20:30 |
| Akuli | i'll try to explain everything as we go | 20:30 |
| monkey | lets start | 20:30 |
| Akuli | don't plug in the stick yet | 20:30 |
| Akuli | $something means "type something to terminal and press enter" | 20:30 |
| Akuli | $ lsblk | 20:30 |
| Akuli | "list block devices", practically your hard drive, usb sticks and all partitions | 20:30 |
| Akuli | it outputs a bunch of stuff, don't show all of that to me | 20:30 |
| monkey | ok.did | 20:31 |
| Akuli | now plug in the stick | 20:31 |
| Akuli | cancel any dialogs that pop up | 20:31 |
| Akuli | $ lsblk | 20:31 |
| Akuli | now you should have more stuff there, that's the stick | 20:31 |
| monkey | yes | 20:32 |
| Akuli | it's sdSOMETHING | 20:32 |
| Akuli | what is it? | 20:32 |
| Akuli | probably sdb | 20:32 |
| monkey | sdb | 20:32 |
| Akuli | ok | 20:32 |
| Akuli | type this in, but don't press enter yet: sudo dd if= | 20:32 |
| Akuli | sudo means "do whatever u want to my stick" | 20:33 |
| Akuli | i dont remember what dd is short for, it just copies a file and displays stats about what it did | 20:33 |
| Akuli | now when you have that typed, drag and drop the iso there | 20:33 |
| Akuli | so now you should have: sudo dd if='/some/long/path/to/windows.iso' | 20:33 |
| monkey | ok | 20:33 |
| Akuli | you have that? | 20:33 |
| monkey | yep | 20:33 |
| Akuli | make sure you have at least 1 space at the end | 20:34 |
| Akuli | add of= to the line | 20:34 |
| Akuli | actually | 20:34 |
| Akuli | add of=/dev/sdb | 20:34 |
| Akuli | "device sdb" | 20:34 |
| Akuli | if is in file, of is outfile | 20:34 |
| monkey | one space after = right | 20:34 |
| Akuli | no | 20:34 |
| Akuli | no spaces around = | 20:34 |
| monkey | ok | 20:34 |
| monkey | sorry | 20:34 |
| Akuli | now you should have: sudo dd if='/the/path' of=/dev/sdb | 20:35 |
| Akuli | no problem :) you're doing well | 20:35 |
| monkey | one space after iso' | 20:35 |
| monkey | right | 20:35 |
| Akuli | yes great | 20:35 |
| Akuli | press enter | 20:35 |
| Akuli | you won't see your password, just type it blindly and press enter | 20:36 |
| Akuli | then wait for it to finish and your stick is ready :) | 20:36 |
| Akuli | unfortunately plain dd doesn't have any kind of progress indicator thingy | 20:36 |
| monkey | it says dd: unrecognized operand ‘/dev/sdb’ | 20:37 |
| monkey | and forgot to tell..can i create in ntfs format | 20:37 |
| Akuli | of=/dev/sdb | 20:37 |
| Akuli | the iso should contain whatever partitions are needed | 20:37 |
| Akuli | make sure that you have no spaces arond = | 20:38 |
| monkey | i mean the stick is formated in ntfs | 20:38 |
| Akuli | hmm | 20:38 |
| monkey | its ok right | 20:38 |
| Akuli | i think it shouldn't matter | 20:38 |
| Akuli | whatever is there is overwritten with this command | 20:38 |
| Akuli | i think i've used it for windows xp isos in the past too, so it should work | 20:38 |
| monkey | i pressed enter | 20:39 |
| monkey | no log | 20:39 |
| monkey | i mean its not showing anything | 20:40 |
| Akuli | right | 20:41 |
| Akuli | you just need to wait and trust it :) | 20:41 |
| Akuli | it kind of sucks | 20:41 |
| monkey | thank you so much...terminal is really better than cmd. | 20:41 |
| Akuli | right | 20:42 |
| Akuli | powershell is kind of a step in the right direction but not really | 20:42 |
| DarkPsydeLord | you know what sucks the most? not having tacos for dinner :( | 20:42 |
| monkey | so is there any course where i can learn how to use terminal | 20:42 |
| Akuli | i have just looked up stuff as i have needed | 20:43 |
| SirMeowington5 | Hey guys, I made a forum post about 10 hours ago and received no responses. Could one of you maybe help me out? | 20:43 |
| Akuli | monkey, basic commands are mostly same as in cmd, but ls instead of dir | 20:43 |
| Akuli | dir works too but ls has nice colors by default | 20:43 |
| monkey | :) | 20:43 |
| Akuli | SirMeowington5, ask your question, maybe i or someone else has time :) | 20:43 |
| monkey | Thank you akuli...bye | 20:44 |
| Akuli | monkey, wait | 20:44 |
| monkey | yep | 20:44 |
| Akuli | i found this thing, seems ok https://www.cheatography.com/davechild/cheat-sheets/linux-command-line/ | 20:44 |
| Akuli | anyway you can do all kinds of cool stuff with the terminal | 20:44 |
| Akuli | control volume: $ alsamixer | 20:44 |
| SirMeowington5 | I have a MacBook Pro which has a dead discrete graphics chip. I managed to get Mac OS to run again by removing some kexts but without those kexts the powerprefs and thermals are thrown way off. Is there a way to disable the discrete GPU in Ubuntu Mate completely that might resolve thermals/power consumption issues? | 20:44 |
| Akuli | monkey, play tetris: $ tint | 20:45 |
| Akuli | monkey, be annoyed when you mistype ls: $ sudo apt install sl | 20:45 |
| Akuli | fun stuff :) | 20:45 |
| Akuli | oh | 20:45 |
| Akuli | look up acronyms: $ wtf is lmao | 20:45 |
| Akuli | read documentation: $ man wtf | 20:46 |
| Akuli | $ man man | 20:46 |
| Akuli | nice introduction to terminal: $ man intro | 20:46 |
| monkey | u mean tetris in terminal? | 20:46 |
| Akuli | yep | 20:46 |
| Akuli | its cool | 20:46 |
| monkey | we can play games in terminal? sounds cool | 20:46 |
| Akuli | you need to install it, but if you don't have it installed you'll get installation instructions :) | 20:46 |
| Akuli | yep | 20:46 |
| Akuli | $ sudo apt install bsdgames | 20:47 |
| Akuli | $ ls /usr/games | 20:47 |
| Akuli | to get a list of some game commands | 20:47 |
| monkey | but terminal is busy | 20:47 |
| Akuli | open another terminal | 20:47 |
| monkey | yes did it..now its installing something | 20:48 |
| Akuli | have fun with my commands :) | 20:49 |
| Akuli | $ nano akulinotes | 20:49 |
| Akuli | kinda like edit in docs | 20:49 |
| Akuli | dos | 20:49 |
| monkey | it opened another terminal....but kind of not looking like terminal | 20:50 |
| Akuli | sounds weird | 20:50 |
| Akuli | the nano thing? | 20:50 |
| monkey | yes | 20:51 |
| Akuli | oh it's the editor | 20:51 |
| monkey | how did u open it? | 20:51 |
| SirMeowington5 | I take it nobody knows the answer to my issue :( | 20:51 |
| monkey | how did i open it | 20:51 |
| Akuli | monkey, you typed nano something | 20:51 |
| Akuli | you can type stuff there and e.g. save and quit with Ctrl-X (^X in the bottom help area) | 20:51 |
| Akuli | SirMeowington5, i don't know, not many other people active right now :) | 20:52 |
| Akuli | you can ask on #ubuntu if nobody knows here | 20:52 |
| SirMeowington5 | What would be a good time to come back? | 20:52 |
| Akuli | i dont know | 20:52 |
| Akuli | not many macbook guys here :( | 20:52 |
| Akuli | monkey, ctrl+X gets you back to where you were before | 20:53 |
| SirMeowington5 | Yeah, I figured, also a pretty unique issue I imagine | 20:53 |
| Akuli | monkey, the "basic terminal" | 20:53 |
| monkey | so u made ur own set of commands? | 20:53 |
| Akuli | SirMeowington5, gpu problems aren't that rare, i'm sure someone on irc knows what to do :) | 20:53 |
| Akuli | monkey, i don't get it | 20:54 |
| Akuli | oh the $nano akulicommands ? | 20:54 |
| Akuli | akulicommands was a file name | 20:54 |
| monkey | when i typed the nano thing, it displayed ur name on it | 20:54 |
| SirMeowington5 | Okay, I'll check out the Ubuntu channel tomorrow then if I get no responses in the forum overnight. | 20:54 |
| monkey | so did u create that file..it shows ur name | 20:55 |
| Akuli | no, you created a file called akulicommands :) | 20:55 |
| monkey | u made a guy u knows ntg about terminal create a file | 21:00 |
| monkey | in terminal | 21:00 |
| monkey | sry went to piss | 21:00 |
| monkey | so on average, how much time does it take to create usb bootable stick in terminal | 21:01 |
| Akuli | depends on the stick and size of the iso | 21:03 |
| Akuli | usually not more than 15 minutes, but be patient :) | 21:03 |
| Akuli | i'll be back tomorrow, bye | 21:03 |
| monkey | see u | 21:03 |
| monkey | maybe i need to connect with u in fb | 21:04 |
| monkey | i have a lot to ask | 21:04 |
| DarkPsydeLord | then simply ask | 21:12 |
