oerheksanyone seen this? https://www.lilite.co/21:43
daftykinsheh, nope - know of ninite though21:43
daftykinsnot sure how this is easier than a script :>21:44
oerheksit poops out a script, like this:21:44
oerhekssudo apt-get install curl; curl 'https://www.lilite.co/get_installer?version=ubuntu_16&packages=Firefox&packages=Chrome&packages=Vim&packages=Build-Essential&packages=Eclipse&packages=7zip' | sudo bash21:44
oerheksskinny, not 7zip-full and such..21:45
daftykinsah i should probably have read it XD21:45
Bashing-omoerheks: Hummm ^^ flatpacking ? An alternate to snaps ? 1st too I have seen Lilite too .21:47
oerheksfound @ https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/6on93z/ubuntu_1804_lts_desktop_default_application_survey/21:48
oerheksi surely hope for a manual selector for installing stuff21:48
oerheksbut then again, it is easy to make a list of favorite apps21:49
oerhekshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/25300199/21:49
* oerheks needs wobbly windows21:50
oerheks.. my brother is really fond of that :-D21:50
daftykinshaha21:51
oerheksone day, he switches from win10, i am sure21:52
oerheksit is taking ages to load, do updates, or do stuff21:52
oerhekswhile waiting, he takes my pc :-D21:52
* oerheks proud21:52
daftykinsmust be still on an HDD21:53
oerheksHis lenovo cheap laptop would run ubuntu fine, but he *needs* stuff21:55
oerheksnow he gave me a task, to merge a few outlook backups in one..21:55
oerheks.. horrible21:55
Bashing-omoerheks: Maybe point out to brother that he should " learn a better way " ?21:56
oerhekswell, now he is divorced .. we surely have a better relationship now.21:57
Bashing-omOuch, sad state when people agree to disagree to such and extent . Change is so hard !21:59
Bashing-oman*21:59
oerhekswell, it wasn't about love, but money ..22:00
oerhekssad thing is there are childeren in btween :-(22:00
daftykinsoerheks: PSTs?22:00
oerheksPSTs? not sure what that is22:00
oerheksoh, outlook pst22:01
daftykinsnormal outlook's storage file22:01
oerheksyes22:01
oerheksthere are paid tools.. for windows22:01
daftykinshmm merging would be a bit messy22:01
daftykinsall you need to do is open them all under outlook, drag and drop :)22:01
oerheksmy best thought would be starting with an empty pst, and merge.. but that does not work22:01
daftykinsit'd be slow though - and there's a 20GB size limit22:02
oerheksah22:02
oerheksthe 5 psts are 50 gb or so together..22:02
daftykinsmmm that's that task done then ;)22:02
oerheksthank you, now i have a clue22:02
daftykinsmy pleasure :D22:03
oerheksreally appreciate that :-D22:03
oerheksso he has to switch between them22:04
daftykinsyeah, for example a client of mine likes to keep his entire email history ever, the only way is to have his main 'working' PST for the actual mailbox, then two local only ones that are things he doesn't need synchronised22:04
daftykinsoutlook 2013+ use better compression so they typically drop a PST to 66% the size of an older version, but even then he has 3 at around 20GB each (which is their limit)22:05
oerheksnoted22:05
daftykinswhy he wants all that junk all the time i don't know :)22:06
daftykinsi'm all about minimalism!22:07
Bashing-omdaftykins: Me " always reduce to simplest terms " :D22:09
oerheksit is all about not to switch beteen them.22:09
daftykinsbest way would be to delete all the mail ;)22:09
oerheksyeah, go on with your life, forget about the money22:10
daftykins:D22:10
daftykinswith that client i have a dedicated SSD for the 3 x PSTs so all searches etc are instant22:10
daftykinseven then though, file operations are pretty slow22:11
daftykinsoerheks: sometimes someone hasn't ever run a compact upon the PST so there's lots of blank space wasted, could be worth a run - but again needs outlook really22:11
daftykinsOutlook is pretty bad in that when you delete a message, it doesn't truly reclaim the space on disk22:11
oerheksoneof my neighbours is angry with me, he heard i was good and reliable with pcs, but i refuse to help with windows 1022:13
oerheks"you paid for it, so they should help" :-D22:13
daftykinsheh22:13
oerheksi know,not nice of me, but i hardly know windows 7/8/1022:13
daftykinsthat elder lady i fixed the ancient AMD Turion laptop for got gifted a mac for her birthday and has apparently been struggling to move her data over22:14
daftykinswhat an absolute joke22:14
Bashing-omoerheks: I am blunt and to the point "I do not do Windows" Daughter broke her Windows again and does not want 'buntu - she does without .22:23
daftykinsdaym!22:24
daftykinsi'll do it for you :P22:24
oerheksBut i do not know what are the best malware/virus scannes, tricks, tweak tools and such...22:25
oerhekslast windows was vista.22:25
daftykinsoof, you went out on a bad one then22:26
oerheksthen, 2009, i switched to fedore+ubuntu.22:26
oerheksstill have the dvd + never-used serialnumber22:26
oerheksman, i was happy then..22:27
oerheksme, first new build pc, with vista...22:27
daftykinsi remember license keys that you could see :)22:27
daftykinswell, still can really - i dump them out of the EFI with Loonix22:28
oerheksbut it was a budget pc, celeron cpu and ati videocard, 2 gb and a 500 gb hdd22:28
daftykinsspeedy!22:28
oerheksstill have that old workhorse.. would make it a server, but then again...22:28
daftykinspower consumption :)22:29
oerheksnow i encounter my limited hardware of a free pc from myneighbour, still pciXpress 1.3, and 6 gb..22:29
oerheksi want a fresh i5/pci express 2.0 .. then i could use my nvidia 71022:30
oerheks( new in box)22:30
daftykins:)22:30
oerheksbut money... i saves vacancy allowance for troubled times.22:30
daftykins*nod* always good to have that emergency fund22:31
oerheksJups, because i have a dog ( vet costs if something happens), or get a job, so i can pay the rent to overcome the payment checks22:32
oerheksfor the rest , i help my mom ( and brother) now.. i feel rich, you know :-D22:33
daftykins:)22:33
Bashing-omoerheks: I run an nvidia GTX710 = works well in 16.04 with proprietary driver . freezes up on nouveau though . No nouveau support in 14.04 .22:33
oerheksnew pc is not that important, this box runs 24/7 fine22:33
oerheksyeah, i noticed that, no nouveau support.22:33
daftykinsi dunno how lotus does it, still rocking the single core Athlon XP... i'd tear my hair out22:33
oerheksnouveau.blacklist=122:34
oerheksso i play lotto for € 2 every week ...22:34
oerheks:-D22:34
oerheksmaybe i get a chance to visit Canada and Guernsey one day..22:35
oerheksand meybe USA too... is Trump dead yet?22:35
Bashing-omoerheks: I will remark even with KMS defeated that 710 runns circles around my old ATI card .22:35
oerheksheh, current ati 545- runs like a char, 2 monitors, 2 movies, no problem22:36
daftykins:>22:36
