Bashing-ombodangly: Hey Glad2 help . A thanks goes a long way to the next one :)01:30
JustTheDoctorhmm, i just installed yukuake and konsole, when i open it and i type, most of my keys that i input show up differ, like if i type abcd i get something like asfe02:00
JustTheDoctorand idea's on how i can fix this?02:00
calamariwas helping a friend with ubuntu user last night. they religiously applied updates and had HUNDREDS of old kernels, so applying anything kernel related took over 15 minutes in update-grub. My question is: is there a package that will automatically remove old kernels when, say, there are more than 5? It needs to be automatic or at worst something scriptable02:01
nevermeHi everyone, when the daily apt runs, it is stopping some services and is not starting it again, what should I change in other for those service to be started again once apt daily is done?02:02
Bashing-omcalamari: 'sudo apt autoremove' . Use the unattended-upgrades package to regularly run autoremove for you. Edit the autoremove setting in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades from 'false' to 'true' .02:04
calamariBashing-om: tried that.. they weren't listed in autoremove02:05
calamarimaybe that is a recent feature and they need to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 to get it?02:06
Bashing-omcalamari: Then the a) package manager is broke , b) /boot/ is full and no operating head room . in these events one can renove old kernels .02:07
calamariwell, I was forced to just manually move the old files to another dir02:09
calamaribecause to remove the old kernels via package manager would have taken days... weeks?02:09
Bashing-omcalamari: Only need the one booting kernel installed, nice to keep one other as a back up .02:10
Bashing-omcalamari: Package manager can remove in minutes .02:11
calamariBashing-om: not in this case. as I said, update-grub was taking at least 15 minutes PER kernel02:12
calamariand then it was even longer after it got past that, maybe about 5 minutes more per kernel02:13
Bashing-omcalamari: Yhen the system is in a inconsistent state. http://termbin.com/7o9d . interested in seeing how long it takes autoremove to work ?02:15

JustTheDoctorhow would i set a file to have the permissions of -rwxr-xr-x02:45
Stanley00JustTheDoctor: chmod 755 filename, or chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx filename02:48
JustTheDoctorthank you,02:48
JustTheDoctorI'm still trying to figure out why i can launch the app i compiled from xfce4 desktop ;(02:49
Stanley00JustTheDoctor: it usually just need execute permission, so chmod +x should work fine too02:49
CuChulaindat what point during login are the bash_completion.d scripts run?02:50
JustTheDoctori've done chmod 755 and +x on it,02:50
JustTheDoctorit still wont launch xfce doesnt see it as a executeable, it asks me which program to open it with02:50
CuChulaindhow can I use this to get a different shell when login completes?02:51
Stanley00JustTheDoctor: then it simple just can't run by itself, is it a script file?02:52
JustTheDoctornope,02:53
JustTheDoctorits a exe app compiled from source.02:53
JustTheDoctorif i open a console and type ./appname it runs no problem.02:53
Stanley00JustTheDoctor: hmm, it's strange, can you run "file ./appname" to make sure it's elf executable file?02:56
th0rJustTheDoctor, try running it in a shell 'sh ./appname'02:57
JustTheDoctorof o do ./appname alone it works02:58
th0rJustTheDoctor, yes, but you want to run it from a shortcut. Edit the shortcut to read 'sh ./appname'02:59
th0rJustTheDoctor, the shortcut doesn't work because the app needs to run in a shell. When you start it from a terminal, you are in a shell02:59
