[00:05] Can we get help in here? [00:06] ask a question cipher6 [00:06] Awesome, Lubuntu 16.04, systemd-analyze plot > foobar.svg gives me very large svg with a huge number of process with bright red bars, [00:06] and I feel like my system is taking a long time to boot, [00:07] how long [00:07] 3min 9.14s on a Lenovo T420 with an i5 and 4gb of ram [00:07] ssd? [00:08] Ubuntu on my busted a$$ HP boots faster and it's running unity [00:08] cipher6, and what is the typical fast time you had before [00:08] don't believe so, is there a way to see if it's platter/ssd w/ cracking open the case? [00:08] bazhang, never had it faster, on lubuntu, [00:08] there are tools yes not sure which [00:09] just went from ubuntu on a cheap laptop to this nice lenovo and a thinner distro and didn't expect the delay [00:09] wiht disk you can see the sidk type [00:09] with disks you can see the disk model [00:09] and google that to know if it has ssd [00:09] disk and disks aren't found, did I mean diskd from fdutils? [00:10] no just disks [00:10] as an application not in terminal [00:10] OH gotcha, let me look [00:10] !info gnome-disk [00:10] Package gnome-disk does not exist in zesty [00:10] lol [00:10] no but disks is in the system tools in the gui, one sec [00:10] indeed [00:10] WDC WD5000BUCT-57LS5Y1 [00:11] googling now [00:11] that no ssd [00:11] for sure [00:11] gnome-disk-utility [00:11] what about that [00:11] 500gb Platter, :( [00:11] but still, it's a 5400rpm drive, maybe i'm just being a bitch about it [00:11] not sure what youre normal boot time was before.. [00:12] you ocan try defrag it... dont think it going to help alot 5400 is just slow [00:12] Hi. I want to convert a physical machine to kvm so I do ssh to a remote running machine and dd to have a raw image that I convert to qcow2. It's ok with a machine that have a /dev/sda but... is it possible to dd /dev/md ?? I have md0, md1 and md2. Or can I just dd the first drive? (raid1 anyway) [00:12] you have alot of apps installed? [00:12] maybe try booting live from usb and compare speeds [00:13] dont know anyting about that booh sry [00:13] No, lubuntu is nearly new, through on hexchat, chrome, and uninstalled some of the stock packages [00:13] try booting live from usb see if its the harddisk that is the bottleneck, i think so [00:13] whoa booh, that's intense. I have no offer for that [00:13] thanks IIIdefconIII [00:14] glad to provide help [00:14] IIIdefconIII, any idea why the plot has all these red bars? when the others are maroon, are the red ones, ones that ran longer than normal/necessary? [00:15] not sure if i know what youre meaning what plot? [00:15] where do you see red bars [00:15] IIIdefconIII, do me a favor an run systemd-analyze plot > foobar.svg and it will give you a visual rep of the time it took your system on last boot [00:16] it doesnt do much :p [00:16] ? it didn't give you an svg file? [00:16] yes [00:16] how to open it :p [00:16] double click it, if you have the gui, the image viewer will open it [00:17] done that lots of red [00:17] hm,, if you zoom way in on the top left, what's your boot time? [00:17] up to 17 seconds [00:17] top right you mean? [00:17] left says 0.0 s [00:17] right says 17 [00:18] kernal takes 5 secon userspace 17 [00:18] <[n0mad]> 1min 11.640s [00:18] Highest top left corner says "Startup finished in *.***s (kernel) + *min*.***s(userspace)= *min*.***s [00:18] cool feature never knew it excistance [00:19] Mine is 6.8s kernel, 3min2s for userspace [00:19] are you on SSD or platter? [00:19] ssd mate [00:19] * cipher6 cries [00:19] haha [00:19] lol [00:19] seriously though, 7 seconds? [00:19] 17* [00:19] yes [00:19] <[n0mad]> i'm on platter, i7, 8GB ram [00:20] this is quad core shitty old pc [00:20] 4 gb ram [00:20] but ssd [00:20] using it for kodi ubuntu os + kodi and some home automation [00:20] hdd was just too slow for me on kodi [00:20] [n0mad], what do you get for $systemd-analyze plot > foobar.svg ? [00:20] he just said [00:21] 1 min 11 [00:21] I can't see that.... [00:21] <[n0mad]> 1min 11.640s [00:21] Oh, it was above my comment [00:21] See it now [00:21] ;) [00:21] so i7 w/ 2 the ram, half the boot time,maybe i'm just being whiny [00:22] I'll have to look around and see if I have any ssd's. [00:22] i thkn ssd will provide you happyness [00:22] sry no native english [00:22] bot got to go tow ork in 6 hours need some rest now :) [00:23] night IIIdefconIII, thanks for the recommendations [00:24] ;) gn === RaptorJesus is now known as gnometosser === gnometosser is now known as RaptorJesus [00:35] !ubuntu current release [00:35] Fudge: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [01:11] hello all, how do we check snap apps? like if i want to install something from snap store or whatever you call it [01:13] snap find name , snap fine | grep [01:14] https://www.howtogeek.com/252047/how-to-install-and-manage-snap-packages-on-ubuntu-16.04-lts/ [01:22] <[n0mad]> snaps show in Disks, which is weird [01:33] I just put a brand new SD card into the card reader. It needs formatting. How do I do this? [01:34] hi. i'm trying to upgrade to OpenSSL 1.1.0 so I can use EVP_ functions in my C program. i'm running Ubuntu 16.04 and downloaded the openssl tarball(config, make, make install), but no matter what i do, I still see the same version (openssl version). [01:34] RonWhoCares you should be able to do it from gparted, that is probably easiest [01:35] It isn't listed in gparted [01:36] hmm that isn't ideal. Can you see it in lsblk -a ? === semeion is now known as mnemonic [01:37] weird [01:37] The USB hub may have been low in power [01:38] Good [01:38] It shows [01:38] hurray [01:39] leviii this is an old thread but maybe helpful? https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478303 [01:39] thanks :) I haven't seen this one, but i'm going to try it. [01:40] np :) [01:40] Works [01:40] cool RonWhoCares, is it for a raspberry pi? [01:41] Pine64 [01:42] ooh haven't had a chance to mess with one of those, looks neat though [01:43] if you get into an HDD make sure you use a powered hub [01:43] Pine64 looks really neat [01:44] I've got a lot of staked on this [01:44] RonWhoCares: what ya mean? [01:46] leviii: I'll tell you, but I don't want you to feel sorry for me [01:46] hehe, k [01:46] It is quite serious [01:47] I had a rare hip disease when I was 2 years old. This was 1979. The lack of medical knowledge at the time set me up for a life time of a physical disability, using a wheelchair for all but a few steps and chronic pain [01:47] A whole lot of collateral damage happened to my skeletal system that doesn't happen if you have the disease now. Treatment now is so much more effective. [01:48] wow [01:48] I am receiving a long term disability. The annual 1% increase isn't keeping up with the actual cost of inflation. [01:48] Should be 3% [01:48] I want to help myself. That's all I've ever wanted to do. I've now had 7 orthopedic surgeries. I need 2 more within a few years. Then I'll need another 4 in ~25 years from now [01:49] l1Ll1Ll1L: that thread worked. thanks! [01:49] sweet leviii, happy coding [01:49] RonWhoCares: i hope the best for you, but i mist go. [01:49] What the Pine64 means to me is the possibility of self employment. It means a server where the Internet is able to be consistent where chronic pain affects me each day. [01:49] OK [01:50] RonWhoCares, how are you trying to turn Pine64 skills into self employment? [01:52] l1Ll1Ll1L: I am trying to use my youTube channel, build a web site to go with it, setup an online forum, a small online store, etc. [01:52] I host my own web site [01:52] ok, well, good luck [01:52] not sure Pine64 is particularly well suited to being your server if you get much traffic though I have to say [01:53] I have 4 of them [01:53] I am setting up a cluster [01:53] hmm interesting [01:54] I want to write and sell eBooks about chronic pain, living with a physical disability, and living with a wheelchair for mobility [01:54] There is also my blog [01:54] If I sell the eBooks myself it means I won't be giving a % of the cuts to an existing eStore [01:54] good thinking on that front [01:55] part of this also is about marketing. If someone would subscribe to a monthly membership I would give them the ebooks free [01:56] I am trying to help myself. I think this will come [01:56] I am trying to help myself [02:02] hi. how does one "link back" what device "eth0" is? [02:02] i have an intel and marvel NIC and i'm having problems. just want to make sure which one is which easily. [02:02] grepping "dmesg" output isn't that pleasant. [02:05] <[n0mad]> can't you just grep eth0? [02:06] lspci shows the 2 network cards but i only see one configured in ifconfig. [02:06] and it's actually not eth0, sorry. it's enp1s0. [02:07] had to write it down. [02:07] <[n0mad]> which is probably eth0 if you dmesg | grep eth0 [02:07] <[n0mad]> on mine it is [02:08] i can't find the marvell card that shows up in lspci in dmesg. [02:08] which is another problem i'll have to face eventually. [02:08] any hints? [02:12] <[n0mad]> sorry, probably best to see if anyone else chimes in that might be more familiar with dealing with hardware [02:14] sjohnson: ' sudo lshw -C network ' show what you want ? [02:20] will give it a try, sec. [02:21] yes it did actually, thank you! [02:21] i've been desiring a command like that for years. [02:32] sjohnson: Just wonderful then .

[03:59] ? [04:01] ?? [04:05] IRC is a slow process [04:05] Please be patient [04:06] You can wait or upgrade, your experience will likely be the same. If you perfrom the upgrade correctly your files should be just fine. But, you of course keep backups so it is not a real risk. [04:12] someone_: non-lts is less stable then LTS why do you want to upgrade exactly? [04:12] someone_: upgrades preserves your /home data, but always make backups in any cases for your own data safety [04:16] Thanks === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant === yasser is now known as yasser93 [05:08] howdy [05:08] Would it be a good idea to install Ubuntu on my laptop with a Radeon R6 M345DX? [06:02] hello [06:11] Hello, I need help on connecting to bluetooth speakers from my dell laptop with ubuntu 16.4 LTS . I am unable to search any bluetooth devices [06:26] As of the bluetooth. bluetoothctl can help. https://askubuntu.com/questions/701978/how-can-a-bluetooth-keyboard-that-requires-a-code-entry-be-paired-in-the-termina [06:35] join ##java [06:38] * markwalt hands slamzy a slash [06:40] how can i get my last gpu to use the same driver and show up in nvidia-settings with the other 5? :/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/25059520/ [06:40] it's in xorg.conf the same as the others [06:40] and i know about /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d being a better place :] [06:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25059528/ [06:41] dw1: which mb? [06:41] GA-Z170X-UD3 [06:42] dw1: did you enable above 4g? [06:43] not sure it's an option per https://hardforum.com/threads/gigabyte-z170x-gaming5-missing-above-4g-decoding-option.1930413/ [06:43] dw1: maybe you need to update the bios [06:52] so i installed 17.04 on my laptop, an HP 6910p core2duo with 4gb of RAM, where I previously had 16.04. I guess defaulting to RAM*0.5 swap doesn't work very well for <=4GB in terms of it being slow often [06:52] also, this is kind of hilarious as a "security" issue, but when you wake such a laptop from sleep, it shows you whatever is on the screen for like a solid 30 seconds before it ever shows you the lock screen [06:53] it being non-interactive before you get to the lock screen [07:04] EriC^^, derp, it worked :) [07:04] !swap | Auctus [07:04] Auctus: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [07:05] yeah, my point was, it worked a lot better with 1:1 swap to ram, rather than 1:2, and I assume this is also the cause of the lock screen thing [07:05] dw1: updating the bios? [07:06] maybe this is a non-issue on desktops with 8GB+ [07:06] 4GB is probably still the most commonly sold laptop today [07:12] Auctus: for the lock/hibernate you might try a !bug [07:13] !info preload | Auctus for smoother overall speed [07:13] Auctus for smoother overall speed: preload (source: preload): adaptive readahead daemon.

I find myself in a situation where, reasons that are not part of the question, that I have to manually reinstall Ubuntu... [07:25] Of course I mean system files not personal files and I'm very aware of applications like timeshift and aptic... Part of that situations is that I can't I just can't use it. [07:25] !backup | scriptso [07:25] scriptso: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [07:27] scriptso: depending on what you are doing, you could scan your while drive with photorec to recover data also [07:28] scriptso: the more details you give us about your purpose, the better this channel will be able to help [07:29] hey thats yeah! Hey thanks! Again, I'm quite aware of different backup applications ... I've used the pusit in the past as well.. I'm talking about. Well put it this way I can't download any applications because my network card is fried, and if I just download it and they transfer to the PC it's almost impossible because and hardly any space and the partition table is just a wreck [07:31] Im literally about to wipe and install... [07:32] scriptso: keep in mind, without internet it will be hard to update system [07:32] jup [07:32] Sorry Im installing to new pc [07:33] My question simply as what are the important files you would back up if you had no other source or resource than to physically grab these files === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [07:33] .sys files of course [07:34] scriptso: not sure you what you trying to do exactly yet [07:34] scriptso: you wanna clone system to another pc? [07:38] Guys LOL.... Question forget about what and who okay lol.. [07:38] Let's say you have 30 seconds before your computer explodes, and by mentioning files or folders they would magically appear on some random medium that you would be given after the explosion.... Not your personal files are already backed up somewhere else.... You have 30 seconds... go [07:38] BOOOOOOm [07:38] lmao [07:39] Never mind guys... I appreciate tryng to help... its just more of theory question I guess [07:40] scriptso: whats important for you, is the real question beside your /home data? [07:40] im talking sys ffiles [07:40] not personal [07:40] .ssh\ [07:40] scriptso: you said that already, but wich sysfiles and for what? [07:41] etc/ apt/ [07:41] sources? [07:42] lol I appreciate ya lotus .... [07:42] im goof [08:04] hola, in which cases do we use kerberos vs password authentication? [08:49] When Im using ufw I can't do apt update (stuck at 0%)... What do I need to allow? [08:54] you should probably share the rules your firewall is using [08:54] ^swensson [08:55] Can someone help troubleshoot an NFS mounting issue? I can mount the share perfectly fine on a Debian Squeeze and on my Ubuntu 17.04 laptop, but not on the Ubuntu 16.04 server I need it on (Operation not permitted) [08:56] do you have a firewall on your server? [08:56] operation not permitted is the message I always see when I try to ping and a firewall keeps me from doing so =P [08:57] nope, server is a Synology NAS (also, why would the firewall block one client and not 2 others?) [08:58] I meant a firewall on the ubuntu server [08:58] ah yes... how would I check? I'm very inexperienced with firewalls... [08:58] Falc: do you have nfs mount permissions on the server? - NFS can do access control on the server side, saying that addresses from a particular address can connect [08:58] do iptables -S [08:58] well sudo iptables -S [08:59] -P INPUT ACCEPT [08:59] -P FORWARD ACCEPT [08:59] -P OUTPUT ACCEPT [08:59] no firewall [08:59] iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT solved it =) [08:59] :) [09:01] Falc: NFS also does UID checking, you could fall afoul of that [09:02] Aginor: how would I test that? And why does it work on my laptop, when my laptop shares 0 users with the server? [09:05] is ubuntu touch dead? [09:07] Falc: check the system logs on the server and the client [09:07] Falc: compare the commands/configuration used to mount the directory [09:08] Falc: check the access restrictions on the NFS server [09:08] Falc: this is an old thread, but it may help http://www.unix.com/unix-for-advanced-and-expert-users/118634-mounting-directory-using-nfs-version4.html [09:08] Hey everyone [09:09] YankDownUnder, u there [09:09] * YankDownUnder checks [09:09] <`arun`> anyone from India? [09:09] oh there ya are I got a crazy question kinda looking at something and wonder if this is possible [09:10] can I do a symlink from a file to a kernel module [09:10] hey, is anyone having problems with installing redis-server on 17.04 and getting "Too many levels of symbolic links" systemd errors? [09:10] after having googled around, it seems it's a bug in systemd but it should have already been fixed [09:11] because YankDownUnder that is what it seems to be doing ... [09:13] Aginor: synology doesn't seem to have logs, client logs would be where? Also, commands are exactly the same and acces restrictions are OK [09:14] Falc: /var/log/systemlog [09:14] Falc: what's the *exact* error message? [09:15] mount.nfs4 -v 10.0.0.103:/ /tmp/nfs [09:15] mount.nfs4: timeout set for Mon Jul 10 11:01:44 2017 [09:15] mount.nfs4: trying text-based options 'addr=10.0.0.103,clientaddr=10.0.100.199' [09:15] mount.nfs4: mount(2): Operation not permitted [09:15] mount.nfs4: Operation not permitted [09:15] Falc: and the command you tried to run, was it as a user or with sudo? [09:15] sirru5h, Um...I'm lost - wassup? [09:17] Aginor: tried it both as root and with sudo [09:17] yank you ever heard of a module being linked like a shortcut to a file [09:17] sirru5h, yes [09:17] Falc: can you run "showmount -e " it'll list the shares on the server, and from where they can be accessed [09:18] ahhh you know how that command would go? [09:18] Aginor: Export list for srv-fhq-storage: /volume1/backup 10.0.0.0/16 [09:18] Falc: https://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?t=105082 [09:19] YankDownUnder, I'm pretty much working with a user manual and trying to figure out how this thing works [09:19] sirru5h, You'd use "ln" to accomplish this task...but be ABSOLUTELY sure of things...mucking about with symbolic links can get, er, a bit puzzling at times...especially if you're not taking notes (somewhere) [09:21] YankDownUnder, Yeah I know ln does get interesting, and I am taking notes, it's for work so everything is being documented. [09:23] sirru5h, Make copies of the notes! Just in case (mistakes can be made) [09:23] So let me ask this YankDownUnder say we are talking ip tables here the module has a hardcoded table name you could do a symlink say from /proc/net/ip_tables_names to the module [09:24] and pretty much the table should be hidden [09:24] providing we flush whatever the current tables are it will go by whats in the module [09:25] Aginor: saaaay... is it possible that this could be caused by the fact the Ubuntu server is an LXD container? [09:25] Falc: possibly :) [09:26] I feel like I'm running into the opposite issue of most people... I'm having an issue where my shell inside gnome-terminal remembers which dir I'm in when I open a new tab - I don't want that... I'd like it to always start in the home dir. Is there any way to do this [09:26] ? [09:27] anyone tried installing google keep on ubuntu? [09:27] sirru5h, NOW I'm lost (could be cuz I'm tired and don't understand the back story here) [09:32] umm I'm tired as well YankDownUnder [09:36] YankDownUnder, if i created a kernel module it's job basically is just to keep an iptables table and rules and flush the existing tables and rules, then did a symbolic link to the module which has the rules I created would that work? (Like theoretically at this point although testing will come later) [09:46] well either way YankDownUnder I'm just too tired Thank you though next time I am on I will show you what I was working on [09:46] night everyone [10:23] Hi [10:24] hi, I just upgraded to ubuntu 17.04 and it messed up my multiple monitor setup [10:24] It also seems xorg.conf has disappeared, is this not running X11 anymore? [10:28] xorg hasn't been needed for a while [10:28] xorg.conf * [10:37] I've tried to play with xinerama or gnome-panel settings, to no avail [10:37] what video card [10:39] nvidia [10:39] a recent one, gtx 1070, using proprietary drivers, one X screen per screen [10:39] sorry no, not a gtx 1070, I'm confusing that with another computer [10:40] a quadro nvs 450, not nearly as new [10:42] google suggests that there is an add-on to make gnome-panel span multiple screens, but I have no add-on and that's definitely not what I want [10:42] make sure you have the right driver and use nvidia-settings to set it up [10:53] Hi [11:07] the problem is with gnome-panel, xfce4-panel works fine and doesn't span the multiple monitors [11:10] Hello. I have a mix of old and new PHP versions on my system. 7.1 running as active, but its starting to cause some problems. Will a full uninstall of everything called PHP affect my apache config? [11:35] how would i sucessfully detect the host architecture on any distro even if the distro does not have uname or lscpu or lsb_release or perl or python [11:36] ps3, cat /proc/cpuinfo [11:37] but that does not mention the architecture [11:37] ps3, cpu is the arch [11:37] still [11:38] there is no mention of my architecture in cpuinfo [11:38] nor anything related to architecture [11:39] Can I follow http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Install.aspx to install the AMDGPU driver for 17.04? [11:39] ps3, clflush size [11:39] Nothing gets listed in additional drivers for me [11:41] Tabmow, what's your card ? [11:41] ioria, VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Pitcairn XT [Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition] [1002:6818] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) [11:41] oh [11:42] Tabmow, and opensource not working ? [11:43] My current driver works - I want to install Steam to play CS:GO so was just wondering what the best options are driver wise. I'll try as-is and see how I go? [11:44] Tabmow, don't use stream, but radeon should work ... [11:44] ioria, radeon being the Ubuntu out of the box driver? [11:45] Tabmow, yep... or amdgpu - lspci -k | grep VGA -A 2 [11:46] ioria, currently using radeon. I'll try this with Steam first and see how I go. Thanks :) [11:46] Tabmow, good luck [11:47] ioria, grazie! [11:47] Tabmow, hehehe [11:48] hello! I tried to upgrade ubuntu by changing the sources.list to newer one and do apt-get upgrade. I didn't upgrade the kernel first(it's 2.6). I've got an error that this version of the libc requres kernel 3.2 or later.. I tried to stop the dpkg-reconfigure and install the newer kernel, but it stopped on the same step. Is there any chance to postpone the reconfigure somehow? [11:54] kacper_, i guess your previous release was too old ... lucid ? and to what version now ? [11:55] trusty => xenial [11:56] ioria: ^ [11:56] kacper_, idt so [11:56] I checked it in my sources.list.. [11:57] kacper_, trusty is 3.13 not 2.6 [11:57] I guess i didn't update the kernel then [11:58] kacper_, cat /etc/issue [11:58] now it's updated 16.04 2 LTS [11:58] but it's not reconfigured yet [11:58] it freezes on the checking init script [11:59] kacper_, and uname -r what it says ? [11:59] uname -r [11:59] 2.6.32-042stab120.20 [11:59] kacper_, so it's not trusty [12:00] It was trusty [12:00] I changed the sources.list to new one and do apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade [12:00] kacper_, really ? how ? [12:00] just bymyself.. I edited the sources.list [12:00] that sounds bad [12:01] kacper_, you 'could' do that, but really not recommended [12:01] ok. Can I change the sources.list to the previous form and do the update then? Is it possible to skip dpkg reconfigure ? [12:01] no [12:01] ok, I didn't know that. That's how I was updating debian in the past [12:02] ok.. so is there any other way to fix it other than reinstall? [12:02] kacper_, ok, 2.6 i think it's lucid, not trusty and second that kernel it's not even stock [12:03] uname -a [12:03] Linux xxxxx 2.6.32-042stab120.20 #1 SMP Fri Mar 10 16:52:50 MSK 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [12:04] kacper_, idt it's an ubuntu kernel at all [12:04] Howdy all [12:04] Fine [12:05] kacper_, but in any case, too old [12:05] ok.. I will try to reinstall it [12:06] * arun007 Hello === ouroumov is now known as ov|h === ov|h is now known as ouroumov === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [12:46] I am trying this out from a terminal -->notify-send 'Hello world!' 'This is an example notification.' --icon=dialog-information <-- and its not giving me anything. I installed inotify-bin what else do I need? [12:50] Kingsy, libnotify4 is installed ? [12:50] ioria: yes [12:50] Kingsy, notify-send 'Hello world!' works ? [12:51] ioria: no [12:51] unfortunately [12:51] I am using openbox however. Is there some gnome packages I might be missing? [12:51] Kingsy, ps -A | grep osd [12:52] Kingsy, idt it works on openbox [12:52] ioria: that returns nothing [12:52] Kingsy, you can use xnotify [12:52] ioria: it 100% works on openbox I had it working on my last installation. I am just not sure what I am missing [12:53] Kingsy, notify-send on openbox ? [12:53] desktop notifactions yes [12:53] + [12:53] oops [12:54] Kingsy: perhaps you haven't installed/started notify-osd? notify-send needs a running notify daemon [12:55] Kingsy, dpkg -l | grep notify [12:56] https://hastebin.com/gakapujeye.pas [12:57] it may be possible I need to start the daemon.. just not sure what its called. [12:57] or I could reboot [12:57] notify-osd [12:57] "inotifywait -e create --exclude 'AABB*'" how do i exclude file names that only start with [pattern] but not if pattern is any where else in the name [12:58] ioria: I dont see a systemd service with that name [12:59] Kingsy, maybe in your case is xfce4-notifyd [13:00] ioria: sudo systemctl list-units | grep xfce4-notifyd <-- returns nothing unfortunately [13:01] Kingsy, you have it installed ... [13:03] ioria: yeah I don't understand, ps aux | grep notify returns nothing after a reboot too [13:04] Kingsy, do you have a unity / gnome session on that system ? [13:04] sruli: have you tried '^AABB*' yet? [13:04]
