| fishcooker | i want to see what files are currently being cached | 02:02 |
| Pinkamena_D | When I turn off and on the hardware 'wireless' switch on my laptop, the device shows hard blocked. Using rfkill to enable does not work, the only way I have found is to restart. Obviously I don't care about the feature but sometimes the switch gets hit accidentally. | 02:37 |
| Toba | lol | 02:42 |
| Pinkamena_D | Another unrelated question: when switching display setups, the settings (resolution, DPI, position) are not remembered. Is there any was to store these settings? | 02:42 |
| Toba | if ubuntu only accepts bug reports if they're replicable on a fresh install, it'll end up in a pretty buggy state pretty quick | 02:42 |
| number28 | Hi guys. I just installed nvidia driver, however when running lspcii I see i have my intel integrated running kernel driver: i915 and my geforce 770m kernel driver running nvidia. I think this is causing a issue.. can anyone help me solve? | 02:44 |
| usr13 | Pinkamena_D: So the hardware switch will turn disable WiFi ok, but will not work to turn it back on again? Is that what you are saying? | 02:44 |
| usr13 | Pinkamena_D: You can not use the switch to turn it back on again? | 02:45 |
| Pinkamena_D | usr13: yes | 02:45 |
| Pinkamena_D | usr13: the start in rfkill list stays as 'hard blocked: yes' | 02:46 |
| usr13 | Pinkamena_D: So you can not use the switch to turn it back on again? | 02:46 |
| Pinkamena_D | no | 02:47 |
| Pinkamena_D | when the switch is back in the 'on' position, it still shows as hard blocked | 02:47 |
| usr13 | Pinkamena_D: Is there also a key on the keboard for WiFi? | 02:47 |
| Pinkamena_D | Bluetooth works: becomes hard blocked when switch is 'off' and comes back up properly when switch is 'ono' | 02:48 |
| Pinkamena_D | 'on' | 02:48 |
| Pinkamena_D | wifi only disables but never resumes | 02:48 |
| Pinkamena_D | There is no Fn key combo for wifi, no | 02:48 |
| usr13 | Pinkamena_D: Not sure what to make of it. If it turns it off, it should turn it back on again. Not sure what you could do about it. | 02:49 |
| Pinkamena_D | usr13: hopefully something :) I dont want to restart everytime the switch gets hit by accident. | 02:50 |
| usr13 | It may be a hardware problem. | 02:50 |
| Pinkamena_D | usr13: driver is ath5k but I also tried an iwlwifi mini-pcie card, and same issue persisted. | 02:50 |
| usr13 | Pinkamena_D: What WiFi device is it? (What does lspci say about it?) | 02:51 |
| usr13 | Pinkamena_D: And what is the make and model of the laptop? | 02:52 |
| number28 | Hi guys. I just installed nvidia driver, however when running lspcii I see i have my intel integrated running kernel driver: i915 and my geforce 770m kernel driver running nvidia. I think this is causing a issue.. can anyone help me solve? | 02:52 |
| Pinkamena_D | usr13: Its a thinkpad t60: card is AR242x / AR542x Qualcomm Atheros currently | 02:53 |
| usr13 | Pinkamena_D: https://www.google.com/search?q=AR542x+arch+linux&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 | 02:58 |
| usr13 | I have never understood why a laptop would have a switch for WiFi. | 03:00 |
| usr13 | ... seems to me that what ever network management software you have would allow you the option to use WiFi or not use it. | 03:01 |
| usr13 | And if the switch no longer funcions normally, I'd assume it's a hardware issue. | 03:02 |

| sary | AlphaOmega: How mcuh RAM is there, how many CPU cores runnin'! and does the system have a swapfile/parition? Also, check the CPU useage ratios. | 05:13 |
| AlphaOmega | 4 GB ram.. 2 physical (4 logical) cores. | 05:19 |
| AlphaOmega | An 8 GB swap file on HDD | 05:20 |

| AlphaOmega | But suddenly, at rare occasions (when everything freezes up) CPU jumps to 80% or higher for about 1-3 seconds | 05:21 |
| sary | AlphaOmega: You may adjust swappiness and disk cache. other than that if you have ubuntu with unity or Gnome, you may wish to try ubuntu with a lighter desktop environments, like Xubuntu, lubuntu. | 05:21 |
| sary | AlphaOmega: what are the apps that mostly running, and do you happen to have many broswer tabs open and browser extensions!? | 05:23 |

| Johnson1977 | can anyone help me with a networking issue | 06:19 |
| Johnson1977 | I have a staticly configured ethernet, that needs to provide the connected device with the internet from the wifi | 06:20 |
| Johnson1977 | but as soon as I connect to the ethernet, I lose the internet on my pc | 06:20 |
| nbastin | Johnson1977: so the ethernet and wifi are on the same machine, and the wifi gives you access to the internet? | 06:23 |
| Johnson1977 | Correct | 06:23 |
| nbastin | Johnson1977: what is the configuration of both interfaces (wifi and ethernet) | 06:23 |
| Johnson1977 | Wifi has default settings, ethernet is configured to manual/static | 06:24 |
| nbastin | it sounds like the ethernet configuration is putting in a competing route or blowing up your wifi subnet, but we'll need your config to see | 06:24 |
| nbastin | "default" settings aren't a thing.. :-) | 06:24 |
| nbastin | what IPs and subnets do they have? | 06:24 |
| Johnson1977 | Sorry im linux beginner | 06:24 |
| nbastin | No worries, I presume wifi is on dhcp? | 06:24 |
| Johnson1977 | Yes | 06:24 |
| Johnson1977 | the ethernet IP is 10.10.10.13 | 06:24 |
| nbastin | Can you tell me the IP address of both interfaces? | 06:24 |
| Johnson1977 | subnet 255.255.255.255 | 06:24 |
| === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod | ||
| Johnson1977 | Wifi IP is 192.168.1.5, subnet 255.255.255.0 | 06:25 |
| nbastin | so the subnet of your ethernet is not going to work for your remote device, but I think that's not your current problem | 06:25 |
| illuminated | how do you reinstall a package and all of its dependencies | 06:25 |
| nbastin | (it needs to be at least 255.255.255.252, but depending on how many devices are on the other side you'll need more) | 06:26 |
| nbastin | Johnson1977: can you give me the output of "ip route"? | 06:26 |
| Johnson1977 | default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlp4s0 proto static metric 600 | 06:27 |
| Johnson1977 | 10.10.10.13 dev enp3s0f1 proto kernel scope link src 10.10.10.13 metric 100 | 06:27 |
| Johnson1977 | 169.254.0.0/16 dev wlp4s0 scope link metric 1000 | 06:27 |
| Johnson1977 | 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlp4s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.5 metric 600 | 06:27 |
| Ben64 | illuminated: you said it's configured statically.... how did you do that? and did you set a default gateway | 06:27 |
| nbastin | hrm, I dunno why you are losing your internet given that route table | 06:27 |
| Johnson1977 | actually now its working | 06:28 |
| Johnson1977 | let me reset to what I had before | 06:28 |
| Johnson1977 | right | 06:28 |
| Johnson1977 | with this settings, I still have wifi internet | 06:28 |
| Johnson1977 | but cannot connect the device thru ethernet | 06:29 |
| nbastin | right, that's because your ethernet is misconfigured.. :-) | 06:29 |
| Johnson1977 | onlything that i didnt put in is gateways | 06:29 |
| nbastin | we can deal with that | 06:29 |
| nbastin | you need to change the subnet size | 06:29 |
| nbastin | don't put in a gateway | 06:29 |
| Johnson1977 | if I put gateway on the ethernet, I can connect to the device | 06:29 |
| nbastin | 255.255.255.255 means that the ethernet IP is the *only* IP on that LAN | 06:29 |
| Johnson1977 | but will then lose internet | 06:29 |
| nbastin | yes but that's sortof a side effect of the route affecting the netmask | 06:30 |
| nbastin | you don't need a gateway | 06:30 |
| nbastin | what IP does the other device have? | 06:30 |
| Johnson1977 | 10.10.10.10 | 06:30 |
| nbastin | ok, so you need to make your netmask 255.255.255.0 | 06:31 |
| Ben64 | how did you configure the ethernet statically | 06:31 |
| nbastin | and the 10.10.10.10 device needs 10.10.10.13 to be its gateway | 06:31 |
| Ben64 | nbastin: no | 06:31 |
| Ben64 | no gateway | 06:31 |
| nbastin | Ben64: his *other* device | 06:32 |
| Ben64 | still no | 06:32 |
| nbastin | He said he wanted it to access the internet, I thought | 06:32 |
| Ben64 | oh, not from how i understood it | 06:32 |
| nbastin | you may be right, I may have made that up.. :-) | 06:32 |
| Ben64 | it is a bit confusing though | 06:32 |
| Ben64 | i'm thinking <internet>--wifi--<pc1>---ethernet---<pc2> | 06:33 |
| Johnson1977 | I have the other device at IP 10.10.10.10 and Gateway 10.10.10.13 | 06:33 |
| nbastin | Johnson1977: does the other device need to access the internet, or just the PC? | 06:33 |
| Ben64 | and pc2 is just there to be accessed local only | 06:33 |
| nbastin | that would certainly be easier.. :-) | 06:33 |
| Johnson1977 | other device needs internet too | 06:33 |
| Ben64 | well then | 06:33 |
| Ben64 | !ics | 06:34 |
| nbastin | well, ok, so the first thing you need to do though is still change the ethernet netmask on pc1 | 06:34 |
| ubottu | If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 06:34 |
| Johnson1977 | o wait a second | 06:34 |
| Johnson1977 | its working? | 06:34 |
| Johnson1977 | i changed subnet | 06:34 |
| nbastin | ok | 06:34 |
| nbastin | if you already configured NAT, then it might just work | 06:34 |
| Johnson1977 | let me just see if it has internet | 06:34 |
| Johnson1977 | O IT WORKS! | 06:35 |

| brainwash | Furai: create a new user account and see if it's affected also | 08:14 |
| Furai | brainwash, and if it is? Is there a way to refresh installation? If not I'll just live with what I have till 18.04 and then do kind of clean install. | 08:15 |
| brainwash | Furai: mmh, 17.10 will be released soon | 08:16 |
| brainwash | Furai: did you check the system log? also, what exactly is slower? | 08:17 |
| Furai | Startup of various programmes. | 08:17 |
| brainwash | I guess testing with a new user account is the way to go then | 08:18 |

| g105b | Ben64: do I need to? | 09:58 |
| ghostcube | it wasnt me :D | 09:59 |
| g105b | Ben64: joke. obviously rebooted. | 09:59 |
| ghostcube | but thx | 09:59 |

| g105b | corentin: I've been on that thread already ( I tend to reboot and Google for issues before asking in IRC ) but I couldn't see any answer that was specific to my question. Could you enlighten me which answer is relevant? | 10:00 |
| corentin | g105b: first try to reboot the whole box, then try the only answer marked as solving the problem | 10:01 |
| g105b | corentin: rebooted ✓ I'm not using a custom mysql mount point, so marked answer is not appropriate. After purging mysql, no file at /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld. After installing again, file seems ok at first glance: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25477304/ | 10:03 |
| g105b | No sign of anything overlapping, but there shouldn't be because this is a fresh install of mysql. | 10:03 |
| corentin | g105b: right about mount point, I missed taht fact | 10:04 |
| corentin | g105b: no errors during install of mysql-server? | 10:05 |
| corentin | as in https://askubuntu.com/questions/900064/mysql-not-starting-due-to-errors | 10:05 |
| corentin | g105b: could you pastebing output of this command please: sudo journalctl -xe -u mysql | 10:07 |
| g105b | corentin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25477485/ | 10:09 |
| g105b | corentin: no errors apart from post-install when the service tries to start again. | 10:10 |
| ollehar | hateball: don't I know you from #limesurvey? | 10:11 |
| corentin | g105b: what about: sudo ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld /etc/apparmor.d/disable/usr.sbin.mysqld | 10:12 |
| corentin | and then reinstall mysql-server | 10:12 |

| EriC^^ | you guys are doing it for free? what? j/k | 10:20 |
| corentin | Ben64: neat! | 10:20 |
| g105b | corentin: well I still have no mysql, only solution is install Windows. | 10:20 |
| Ben64 | well that isn't a solution | 10:20 |
| Jojero | what? | 10:20 |
| Jojero | mysql wont work in linux?? | 10:20 |
| g105b | Not on my linux. | 10:20 |
| Jojero | I was gonna go to linux so I can do web dev | 10:20 |
| hateball | Ben64: Yes, but that's a rather opposite thing :p | 10:20 |
| Jojero | :( sad | 10:20 |
| Jojero | so I cant do wordpress :/ | 10:21 |
| Ben64 | g105b: service apparmor stop ? | 10:21 |
| corentin | g105b: good luck then! | 10:21 |

| Jojero | I can move back anytime since I have the digital entitlement.. :D | 10:22 |
| Jojero | :/ I did vagrant but Im not comfortable with it though | 10:24 |

| Ben64 | go for it | 10:25 |
| Jojero | :) i hope photoshop works great .. | 10:25 |
| Jojero | later guys :) | 10:26 |
| hateball | Jojero: Moving to Linux to run Windows applications is perhaps not the greatest thing you can do | 10:30 |
| corentin | Jojero: hateball is right, you would probably get a terrible user experience from doing that | 10:31 |
| corentin | unless you can run your windows soft in a VM maybe | 10:31 |
| Jojero | thanks guys :) | 10:37 |
| g105b_ | corentin: I can't figure this out, I've ended up running mysql inside docker to get me going... might have a look at the problem again one day but for now I'm up and running, albeit through a virtualisation service. | 10:39 |

| hateball | hmmm, could have sworn there was an IRC channel for it | 11:39 |
| Whir | but I installed python3-gi | 11:39 |

| c06 | hateball: its there but its not active | 11:39 |
| Whir | but matplotlib still complains | 11:39 |
| nuked0ne | Anticom: what should the command be? I tried 'eclipse' but it's not | 11:41 |
| nuked0ne | I mean Exec=Command | 11:41 |
| Anticom | nuked0ne: depends on how you 'installed' eclipse | 11:41 |
| nuked0ne | Anticom: I downloaded it from the website | 11:41 |
| Anticom | if it's in your PATH, you can find its location using 'which eclipse' | 11:41 |
| nuked0ne | Anticom: not apt-get | 11:41 |
| Anticom | nuked0ne: well then you should know where you've placed it | 11:41 |
| nuked0ne | yes I know where it is | 11:42 |
| Anticom | use a full path | 11:42 |
| Anticom | instead of just 'eclipse' | 11:42 |
| Anticom | or in your .bashrc, .profile etc. put export PATH=/path/to/eclipse/:$PATH | 11:42 |

| techsynt | hi guys have issue https://askubuntu.com/questions/928997/gnome-unable-to-install-extention , i did what they told but it didn't help me | 11:47 |
| blueboy | anyone here running a distro with the dell xps 13 9360 ? | 11:59 |
| swensson | Anyone know how to make alias myAlias=sudo last reboot? | 12:12 |
| brainwash | swensson: add it to ~/.bashrc | 12:13 |
| brainwash | blueboy: what do you want to know exactly? | 12:13 |
| swensson | brainwash ah thanks=) | 12:14 |
| blueboy | I believe the issue to be a bios related issue or IPM issue with the USB ports on the xps 13 | 12:15 |
| blueboy | basically | 12:15 |
| blueboy | I put the bios in legacy, put the storage controller in AHCI mode | 12:16 |
| blueboy | the live install for ubuntu boots and then it gives me an error after the initial splash that it cant find the live media | 12:16 |
| blueboy | "unable to find medium containing live file system" | 12:17 |
| blueboy | I have verified the usb boots into a live environment on another system as well | 12:17 |
| brainwash | which ubuntu release is that? | 12:17 |
| anchnk | hey, how can I determinate if a daemon is either start by systemd or sysinit ? I am running ubuntu 16.04 | 12:18 |
| BluesKaj | blueboy, how did you create the live image ? | 12:18 |
| blueboy | i have attempted 16.04 and 17.04. I also attempted this with Fedora and had the same issue. | 12:18 |
| blueboy | I used rufus | 12:18 |
| brainwash | anchnk: 16.04 uses systemd by default | 12:18 |
| blueboy | attempted with the standard windows ISO method and dd method, both give the same error | 12:18 |
| brainwash | anchnk: maybe you want to read this https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-sysv-generator.html | 12:19 |
| blueboy | Could it possibly be a TPM issue not allowing 3rd party OS boot even with legacy boot and secureboot turned off ? | 12:19 |
| BluesKaj | did you unmount the device before running dd or rufus | 12:19 |
| BluesKaj | blueboy,^ | 12:19 |
| blueboy | Blue, yes. I have also teste the usb on another system and it boots successfully | 12:20 |
| anchnk | brainwash thank you, I am trying to figure it out if my mysql service is either start before or after supervisor | 12:21 |
| blueboy | from the research I have done this is acommon issue with the laptop and some users. | 12:21 |
| anchnk | but yeah I need to dive deeper into the doc | 12:21 |
| blueboy | I see some others having zero issue and others cant figure their way around it. | 12:21 |
| BluesKaj | another system has different settings, in it's BIOS/UEFI, check those and do the same for the problematic one | 12:22 |
| brainwash | anchnk: if you have systemd specific questions, I suggest asking in #systemd | 12:22 |
| anchnk | oh great thankx brainwash | 12:22 |
| blueboy | I have matched accordingly, secureboot disabled, legacy boot, moved from raid to ahci for support | 12:23 |
| blueboy | I think the issue is the usb controller, it doesnt support legacy mode, only 3.0 | 12:23 |
| blueboy | I have also seen in the logs the controller is being added and removed, spamming | 12:23 |
| blueboy | From what I can tell it might be intels power management screwing me | 12:24 |
| brainwash | you could give ubuntu 17.10 Beta a try | 12:24 |
| blueboy | That was pretty much my next step | 12:24 |
| brainwash | also, maybe it's worth to contact the Dell support channels | 12:24 |
| blueboy | There is an actual ubuntu 14.04 recovery meda for the xps 13 as well, dell has a recover media for it (a dev version of the laptop) Im tryin to get my hands on that as well. | 12:25 |
| blueboy | Its service tag depedent for access to it | 12:26 |
| blueboy | I believe I might complelte nuke the table on the nvme storage | 12:29 |
| blueboy | I still kinda suspect the issue to be something related to a TPM issue | 12:29 |
| blueboy | also its skylake, ive read issue with legacy usb booting issues | 12:29 |

| Doc-Saintly | Is there a quick way to initialize a new drive? I'd like to quickly format it to ext3/4, the whole disk, and mount it somewhere. | 12:32 |

| fub | Hi. I installed (l)ubuntu a few months back with disk encryption (just my home folder). a) How do I know which encryption software is used b) how do I change the password? | 12:48 |
| ollehar | follow up question: is the home folder encrypted when the screensaver is locked? or must I log out? | 12:49 |
| frostschutz | fub, if lsblk shows a crypt device, it's probably LUKS, and then you can add / change passwords with cryptsetup luksAddKey / luksChangeKey (better to add first, and remove the old when you are sure you remember the new one) | 12:49 |
| vlt | fub: If it's "just the home folder" it might not be disk encryption at all but an encrypted file system. | 12:50 |
| brainwash | fub: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/ecryptfs.html | 12:51 |
| fub | frostschutz: this is my output: https://dpaste.de/xjR7 | 12:51 |
| fub | vlt: I am assuming its only the home folder because I can see something under "mount" with ecryptfs | 12:51 |
| fub | like /home/.ecryptfs/myuser/.Private on /home/myuser type ecryptfs | 12:52 |

| swensson | Is it possible to run a virtual environment for only photoshop? I don't want to run a complete virtual system, just one app. | 12:52 |
| vlt | fub: Yeah, I wouldn't call that disk encryption. So nothing LUKS related applies. | 12:52 |
| corentin | swensson: see wine | 12:52 |
| fub | vlt: okay | 12:52 |
| cfhowlett | possible yes, but do not expect virtualbox to fully utilize your GPU | 12:53 |
| frostschutz | fub, your output shows you have luks, and swap is even encrypted twice, so if you also have ecryptfs, you have everything in one big encryption mashup | 12:53 |
| fub | vlt: but in the output I posted, why does it say sda5_crypt? | 12:53 |
| fub | ew, so its .. double encrypted? | 12:53 |
| swensson | corentin Yeah, I've used wine a few times. But that get's access to my systems files? :P | 12:53 |
| frostschutz | fub, changing the password for sda5 would be 'sudo cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sda5' | 12:53 |
| frostschutz | fub, yes, kinda ewww. | 12:53 |
| fub | frostschutz: the lubuntu installer did this | 12:54 |
| fub | I did not setup any additional encryption stuff | 12:54 |
| fub | so when booting my system, I need to type the pw for sda5 I think | 12:55 |
| fub | how is the home folder (ecryptfs) decrypted then? | 12:55 |
| frostschutz | yea, so if you want to change it, add a new one... see if it works... and a few days later remove the old one. you can read about cryptsetup in any wiki I guess | 12:55 |
| frostschutz | ecryptfs uses your regular user login | 12:56 |
| fub | interesting, so its decrypted when logging in | 12:56 |
| vlt | fub: Yes. | 12:56 |
| === ITI is now known as BehzadE | ||
| fub | all right, thanks for the info | 12:57 |
| vlt | fub: This setup might make sense in certain environments where you want both full disk encryption (and a few different people know the passphrase) but addidionally need to protect your home folder. | 12:58 |
| vlt | fub: But yes, it needs to be double de- and encrypted everytime :-D | 12:59 |
| fub | ok, so next time I'll install, I will be careful not to do this | 13:00 |
| fub | because I am the only person working on my computers | 13:00 |

| AlphaOmega | No | 15:10 |
| nacc | AlphaOmega: so I'm not sure what your issue is, can you summarize? | 15:10 |
| AlphaOmega | Because when it almost reaches full (83%) and some new action/activity starts, the system freezes for 2-15 seconds | 15:11 |
| nacc | AlphaOmega: that sounds like you are swapping | 15:11 |
| nacc | AlphaOmega: and have a slow hdd | 15:11 |

| AlphaOmega | Yes.. I'm swapping with a slow hdd | 15:11 |
| nacc | AlphaOmega: ok, prefetch/preload won't really help with swap | 15:12 |
| AlphaOmega | Swap space is 2x of Ram but still, the process is slow | 15:12 |

| AlphaOmega | So, is there a way to reduce this thrashing? | 15:12 |
| nacc | AlphaOmega: you can reduce the swappiness of the kernel, but there are consequences | 15:13 |
| corentin | AlphaOmega: add more ram or consume less ram hehe | 15:13 |
| corentin | AlphaOmega: or optimize the program running to consume less | 15:13 |
| AlphaOmega | I can't consume less, unless I know how to limit an application from over using the ram | 15:14 |
| AlphaOmega | Can one do that? | 15:14 |
| corentin | AlphaOmega: ulimit | 15:14 |
| AlphaOmega | nacc: I've tried reducing the swappiness, it stays on longer, but when the freeze hits, it's in minutes... | 15:14 |
| corentin | AlphaOmega: what are you actually doing? | 15:15 |
| AlphaOmega | Checking out ulimit | 15:15 |
| AlphaOmega | corentin: running a game with maybe a few PDFs open and a file manager open? (Evince and pcmanfm) | 15:15 |
| corentin | AlphaOmega: how much ram do you have? | 15:15 |
| corentin | and which game? maybe it has memory leaks or so | 15:16 |
| AlphaOmega | DotA 2 (process name is dota, with maybe 2 steam and 3 steamwebhelper processes) | 15:17 |
| corentin | AlphaOmega: you could try to profile your system with a memory profiler to see why all the ram is consumed. Alternatively you could setup some monitoring like munin, and make it graph memory consumption of your main programs | 15:18 |
| AlphaOmega | How should I do that? | 15:18 |
| nacc | AlphaOmega: how much ram? | 15:18 |
| AlphaOmega | I've never used profilers before | 15:18 |
| AlphaOmega | nacc: 4 GB | 15:18 |
| AlphaOmega | Goes away in 2 matches -> 1h 50m | 15:19 |
| AlphaOmega | Or maybe before, since it starts lagging and freezing after | 15:19 |
| corentin | AlphaOmega: guess it's easier to setup munin | 15:20 |
| AlphaOmega | Wow.. munin looks great! | 15:21 |
| corentin | AlphaOmega: there's a plugin called multimemory, not sure it is shipped by default | 15:26 |
| TuTizz | hi there, I have got an unsolved question on my ubuntu server. My "/var/log/upstart/" folder size is really huge, I can't even access to it with a cd or ls it. "logrotate -d -v /etc/logrotate.conf" stop at "reading config file upstart". The output of "cat /var/lib/logrotate/status" https://pastebin.com/un4fdhX7 | 15:27 |
| TuTizz | Is anyone got an idea? | 15:28 |
| === gr33n7007h is now known as al2o3-cr | ||
| TJ- | TuTizz: the device is generating lots of virtual ethernet devices? | 15:30 |
| TJ- | TuTizz: could be thousands/millions of logs in the directory | 15:31 |
| TuTizz | TJ-, it could be an issue link to docker | 15:32 |
| TuTizz | ? | 15:32 |
| TuTizz | dmesg output : EXT4-fs warning (device md2): ext4_dx_add_entry:2217: inode #2097338: comm logrotate: Directory index full! | 15:35 |
| TJ- | TuTizz: sounds like it. is it permissable to blindly delete all files in that directory, so as to regain some control? | 15:38 |
| TuTizz | I tried to rm -rf but as everything is freezing, I can't be sure if the operation succeeded, I will try it again | 15:40 |
| TJ- | TuTizz: that's expected due to rm causing the btree of the directory to be rebalanced after every call. There's a useful alternative using rsync.

| brunch | guys I want to start another session on openbox on a different tty for performance reasons | 16:33 |
| brunch | but the internet says a thousand different ways; none seem to work | 16:34 |
| brunch | maybe they're old | 16:34 |
| brunch | so... how would I do it? startx, xinit...? | 16:34 |
| usr13 | brunch https://askubuntu.com/questions/443418/start-another-gui-on-different-tty | 16:37 |
| akik | brunch: you can run "startx desktop_startup -- :1" is a virtual terminal as your user | 16:38 |
| brunch | hmmmm... if I'm doing it right then ubuntu is doing it wrong | 16:39 |
| brunch | I better ask around ubuntu+1 | 16:39 |
| akik | desktop_startup is for example mate-session | 16:39 |
| brunch | openbox should do, right? | 16:39 |
| brunch | it's what's displayed in login as an option | 16:40 |
| akik | you'll know when you find the right script/binary | 16:40 |
| akik | for kde, it's startkde | 16:40 |
| brunch | right now the screen goes black, and monitor says "no signal" | 16:41 |
| brunch | so it might be yet another nvidia issue | 16:41 |
| akik | :( | 16:41 |
| brunch | akik, if I recall correctly I can use xterm instead of desktop_startup, right? | 16:42 |
| akik | brunch: i'll test on my machine | 16:44 |
| brunch | thank you :) | 16:44 |
| akik | brunch: yes :) it opened *just* xterm | 16:45 |
| brunch | nice thanks a lot | 16:45 |

| _Trullo | hello | 16:45 |
| brunch | welcome, _Trullo | 16:46 |
| _Trullo | anyone got a guide how to set static dns on lubuntu 17.04? | 16:46 |
| akik | brunch: does you xorg crash when you try that? | 16:46 |
| _Trullo | I'm scratching my head here | 16:46 |
| TJ- | _Trullo: depends on which network management tool is being used | 16:46 |
| TJ- | _Trullo: is it desktop, with Network Manager? | 16:46 |
| akik | _Trullo: /etc/network/interfaces ? sorry i can't test | 16:46 |
| brunch | akik, it doesn't seem like it. But the screen doesn't get any feed | 16:46 |
| _Trullo | the dns I have now is 127.0.1.1 and some search thing | 16:46 |
| _Trullo | this is in resolv.conf | 16:46 |
| akik | _Trullo: use dns-nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces | 16:47 |
| brunch | it's fine when I change back to tty2, which has the gnome session | 16:47 |
| _Trullo | my main dns given out by the dhcp is behind a vpn.. | 16:47 |
| brunch | also, I have to use :2 instead of :1 since that's taken already | 16:47 |
| TJ- | _Trullo: well that is just pointint to an instance of the resolver, but that might be managed by Network Manager | 16:47 |
| TJ- | _Trullo: is it desktop or server? | 16:47 |
| _Trullo | desktop | 16:47 |
| TJ- | _Trullo: so there's an applet in the system tray to configure networks and report what is in use? | 16:47 |
| _Trullo | I did sudo rm -f /etc/resolv.conf to remove the symlink, and edited the file to nameserver 8.8.8.8 | 16:48 |
| _Trullo | but it still changes | 16:48 |
| TJ- | _Trullo: yes, it will, because *Network Manager* is managing it! | 16:48 |
| _Trullo | TJ-, yeah, I can change in there, but it doesn't work anyway.. | 16:48 |
| TJ- | _Trullo: you need to configure the Connection in network-manager's applet, set the IPv4 (or IPv6) DNS server settings | 16:49 |
| _Trullo | can I use space between dns's? | 16:49 |
| _Trullo | it's only one line I think, computer at work so I can see it now | 16:49 |
| TJ- | _Trullo: I seem to recall yes, or a comman. The thing is, if you've got the Method set to DHCP and you want to set DNS servers manually, you need to select the Method "DHCP (Addresses only)" and set both the DNS and default gateway | 16:50 |
| ssarah | does ubuntu get newer packages than debian? | 16:50 |
| ssarah | if yes, how? | 16:50 |
| TJ- | _Trullo: in NM connections you can also set it to automatically activate a VPN connection when the interface comes up | 16:51 |
| TJ- | ssarah: most releases start by syncing from the Debian archive and then adding Ubuntu patches, but sometimes Ubuntu will carry a different version of a package | 16:51 |
| _Trullo | I'll play with it tomorrow again, been having alot of trouble getting citrix reciever to work, and I think it has to do with the dns.. | 16:52 |
| _Trullo | I almost bought a couple of win10 licenses today.. | 16:52 |
| _Trullo | TJ-, thanks | 16:52 |
| TJ- | _Trullo: if you can't configure it via Network Manager, you may need to configure it manually. In which case, you need to tell NM *not* to manage the particular interface in its' config file | 16:53 |
| TJ- | _Trullo: that's why you were seeing /etc/resolv.conf change, because that's a symlink to a network-manager controlled file | 16:53 |
| _Trullo | yeah, but if you remove the symlink it shouldn't update.. I don't understand that.. | 16:54 |
| _Trullo | I also installed dnsmasq | 16:54 |
| TJ- | it's a symlink, the system is actually using the file the symlink pointed to | 16:55 |
| TJ- | NM uses a private copy of dnsmasq itself | 16:55 |
| oerheks | _Trullo, just stop the networkmanager service, and do it manually, or use networkmanager. not both.. | 16:56 |
| TJ- | _Trullo: if you do "ps -efly | grep resolv" you'll see the private instance of dnsmasq and its command-line, so you can configure what NM tells that via advanced NM config values in the Connections' config file under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ | 16:57 |
| TJ- | _Trullo: see "man nm-settings" for keys and values | 16:57 |
| _Trullo | the funny thing is I got it to work in ubuntu, then I reinstalled lubuntu, didn't get it to work.. | 16:58 |
| _Trullo | but I changed in so many places so I guess I missed one.. | 16:58 |
| _Trullo | supersede domain-name-servers in some configfile.. remove dnsmasq in another etc etc,, | 16:58 |
| oost | ssarah: and debian works with rolling releases, which ubuntu does not. | 16:59 |
| ssarah | rolling releases? what you mean? ubuntu has versions too. | 17:01 |
| ssarah | i was wondering because these days a lot of stuff doesn't get a package. | 17:02 |
| ssarah | i was trying to install slap, and the normal installation through is not working | 17:02 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| oerheks | slap = OpenLDAP server? | 17:04 |
| nacc | ssarah: please be more specific | 17:04 |
| nacc | ssarah: slapd is packaged | 17:04 |
| oerheks | slapd indeed | 17:04 |
| oost | ssarah: it's rolling release vs. point release. (ubuntu is the latter) | 17:05 |
| nacc | in my experience, the use of phrases like "these days" in describing an issue is FUD/PEBKAC | 17:05 |
| akik | ssarah: ubuntu also has 389-ds | 17:05 |
| ssarah | I duno what that means, I understand rolling release as: there's only one tree of software be updated. There's no unsupported version. | 17:14 |
| ssarah | But slap is this: https://github.com/slap-editor/slap | 17:14 |
| ssarah | it looks nice so i was trying to try i tout | 17:14 |
| ducasse | ssarah: you can't reasonably expect every little thing on github to be in the repos | 17:16 |
| oost | no ssarah, debian keeps updating a release to what they believe is "experimental", "unstable" or "stable". Ubuntu releases a release and that's it. | 17:16 |
| === beaver is now known as evilnewbie | ||
| ssarah | ducasse, I understand, but I see lots of popular stuff that is not in debian repositories these days. And if it is it's quite old. | 17:18 |
| ssarah | They are becoming useless, other than for os specific stuff. | 17:18 |
| ssarah | So i was thinking if there was a way to fast track stuff. | 17:18 |
| ssarah | I duno. | 17:18 |
| nacc | lol | 17:18 |
| * nacc cites the above comment about FUD | 17:19 | |
| nacc | ssarah: has there been any attempt by any interested party in packaging (.deb or snap) this slap program? | 17:19 |
| nacc | ssarah: it's not up to a distribution to go find stuff to package | 17:19 |
| ssarah | I see. | 17:20 |
| TJ- | ssarah: if you want it in Debian/Ubuntu, how about doing it yourself, starting with the Debian Mentors programme? | 17:20 |
| ducasse | ssarah: if you really want a packaged slap, build a snap of it and offer it on the ubuntu store | 17:20 |
| brainwash | you can easily install it with the npm package manager | 17:20 |
| brainwash | what is your issue exactly? | 17:21 |
| aariz | My terminal isn't starting :( | 17:22 |
| aariz | WHYYYYYYYYY | 17:22 |
| ssarah | It's just that.. kindly open this page here: https://github.com/blackarch/blackarch/issues See that? On black arch you point to a repo and a way to install the thing, that you get that added to the main repository. | 17:22 |
| ssarah | *and you get | 17:22 |
| aariz | I have to go get xterm > terminal because each time I press CTRL + T or search the searchbar for Terminal, it doesn't open | 17:23 |
| brainwash | maybe ubuntu isn't for you then ssarah | 17:23 |
| nacc | ssarah: so use blackarch | 17:23 |
| aariz | any suggestions on what to do? | 17:23 |
| nacc | ssarah: not sure why this is an ubuntu support topic? | 17:23 |
| ssarah | Just trying to understand stuff. If ubuntu releases newer versions of things and how/if possible to speed that cycle of release up. | 17:24 |
| ssarah | That's all :) | 17:24 |
| ssarah | I don't remember why I thought arch sucked. I did go back to ubuntu tho XD | 17:24 |
| nacc | ssarah: a released version of ubuntu will generally never get a new version of a software package | 17:25 |
| nacc | ssarah: the best counterexample of that is the hwe stack for the kernel and X; but it's generally still true | 17:25 |
| ducasse | ssarah: do you really _need_ the latest version of everything? | 17:25 |
| nacc | ssarah: if you want to help get newer versions in the latest release, you can a) file a bug or b) learn to contribute the changes necessary. You can also look into backports for released versions. | 17:26 |
| brainwash | everyone of you is ignoring this https://github.com/slap-editor/slap#installation | 17:26 |
| ssarah | ducasse, for example, I submitted a bug fix request for workrave.. 5 years ago? Still waiting for that bug fix to reach ubuntu. I'm not sure if 17.04 has it but 16.04 doesn't. And it's a pretty annoying bug. | 17:27 |
| Amm0n | ssarah, https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=workrave | 17:29 |
| nacc | brainwash: not ignoring it, ssarah asked why it wasn't packaged. | 17:30 |
| ssarah | brainwash, i tried installing both ways, it's broken somehow, already looking into it. :) | 17:31 |
| brainwash | nacc: if something can be installed this easily, maybe the desire to package is much lower | 17:32 |
| brandon76 | k someone help me install winff. marcoceppi.com/p/winff | 17:32 |
| brainwash | in the end, one would have to bug Debian to actually package it | 17:33 |
| nacc | brainwash: agreed, which is why i asked if upstream had tried | 17:33 |
| ssarah | nacc: b) learn to contribute the changes necessary. <- how can i do this? | 17:34 |
| ssarah | brainwash, i dont like doing curl X | sudo :/ or using two package managers on the same machine (pip npm etc) | 17:34 |
| ssarah | or that weird perl one | 17:35 |
| nacc | ssarah: someone pointed you to debian mentors earlier | 17:35 |
| ducasse | brandon76: 'sudo apt install winff' | 17:36 |
| brainwash | I guess snap wouldn't be an option either then | 17:36 |
| ssarah | debian mentors? | 17:36 |
| ssarah | ok, ill google that | 17:36 |
| ssarah | snap? interesting, never heard of it. | 17:38 |

| ducasse | Glamdesk: yep, i saw it. any progress? | 17:56 |
| Glamdesk | ducasse: Not precisely. Another program *not* in Wine has the same blank blackness, though, so I think I should try a benchmark. | 17:57 |
| Glamdesk | I'm also curious if it could be a problem with the card, and/or if Xephyr can be used from another TTY to make a display that's not a window. | 17:57 |
| ducasse | Glamdesk: the whole point of xephyr is to run as a nested x session, it can't run outside of an x server | 17:59 |
| Glamdesk | And xinit doesn't work. | 18:00 |
| Glamdesk | Is there something what presently is supported and does what I want? | 18:00 |

| lotuspsychje | Richard_Cavell: i doubt that would work | 18:10 |

| lotuspsychje | tgm4883: nice one | 18:16 |
| ducasse | Glamdesk: i mean it might not happen to you. i'm not even running lxde in my main session, so something must have happened to the x server itself. | 18:16 |

| ssarah | is it cool to format my machine now and install 17.04 or should i wait for 17.10. or is it super clean to do release upgrade from one to the other? | 19:19 |
| psychoticwarrior | i have updated my machine to 17.04. If you get an upgrade for 17.10 update it if you want | 19:20 |
| psychoticwarrior | it works for me :) | 19:20 |
| psychoticwarrior | go ahead and try it out | 19:20 |
| psychoticwarrior | dont run any programs in the background | 19:20 |
| psychoticwarrior | run software updater or apt update && apt upgrade | 19:21 |
| brainwash | ssarah: you could install 17.10 Beta also | 19:24 |
| Nexiu | I try use rdp not vnc - now genymotion launch but I get error that my openGL version (1.3) is too old and they advice to update video drivers... so is no way to bypass it, or I can update openGL? | 19:26 |
| brainwash | Nexiu: I would ask in ##aws | 19:33 |

| hamzalatif7 | Hi I am contacting this support venu because fail2ban refuses to start I am using ubuntu 14.04 | 20:04 |
| hamzalatif7 | its on a vps | 20:04 |
| litchi | vps? cool | 20:04 |
| leftyfb | hamzalatif7: what is the error you are getting? | 20:08 |
| hamzalatif7 | I suppose it would help if i posted the error hear as well | 20:08 |
| hamzalatif7 | hears on what i get when i type sudo service fail2ban restart | 20:08 |
| hamzalatif7 | * Restarting authentication failure monitor fail2ban ERROR Failed during configuration: File contains no section headers. | 20:09 |
| hamzalatif7 | file: /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf, line: 1 | 20:09 |

| tgm4883 | hamzalatif7: looks like your jail.conf is malformed | 20:10 |
| geirha | that's a utf-8 byte order mark | 20:11 |
| TJ- | hamzalatif7: that looks as if the file is using UTF encoding, maybe the text editor you used did that? you can use "iconv" to convert it | 20:11 |
| geirha | (which is a useless, pointless set of three bytes) | 20:11 |
| TJ- | hamzalatif7: did you edit the file on a Windows PC ? | 20:11 |
| hamzalatif7 | yeah i was editing it with windows notepad and then sending it back to the server | 20:11 |
| geirha | never edit anything in windows notepad ... ever | 20:12 |
| TJ- | hamzalatif7: that'd do it, it's written with UTF-8 encoding and putting in CR/LF characters (the /r/n) | 20:12 |
| tgm4883 | hamzalatif7: grab a proper editor for windows like notepad++, sublime or really anything else | 20:12 |
| hamzalatif7 | and that also explains on why i see nothing when i hear the thing threw notepad | 20:12 |
| hamzalatif7 | I say hear since i use a screen reader sure in future I will use notepad 2 | 20:12 |
| hamzalatif7 | ok so will the editers like notepad++ or notepad 2 save it in the propper format so that linux can read it?\ | 20:13 |
| TJ- | hamzalatif7: try this: "iconv -t ASCII//IGNORE /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf" and if it looks correct you can save that output and replace the existing file | 20:13 |
| leftyfb | hamzalatif7: you're better off using editors on your server (nano, vim, emacs, whatever) | 20:14 |
| TJ- | hamzalatif7: you can SSH to the server and do: "iconv -t ASCII//IGNORE /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf | sudo tee /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf.ascii" | 20:15 |
| TJ- | hamzalatif7: if the /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf.ascii looks correct you can then move the existing config file to another name, then rename this ASCII file to jail.conf | 20:16 |
| kneeki | I need some help understanding group write permissions. If my user is in the www-data group, why is it that user cannot write to /var/www if 'chmod g+w /var/www' is set? | 20:21 |
| kneeki | /var/www is owned by www-data in the www-data group. | 20:22 |
| TJ- | kneeki: because maybe the user is writing to a sub-dir or /var/www/, or there are additional ACLs set | 20:22 |
| kneeki | Yeah, I am writing to a sub dir... Oh... I forgot -R. | 20:22 |
| TJ- | s/or/of/ | 20:22 |
| TJ- | kneeki: :: you got it | 20:23 |
| kneeki | lol that's it! | 20:23 |
| kneeki | xD | 20:23 |
| kneeki | Thanks TJ- | 20:23 |
| TJ- | kneeki: could also have been a sub-mount that was read-only | 20:23 |
| Glamdesk | ducasse: How would I format a command from TTY1 to use openbox or lxsession there? | 20:24 |
| Glamdesk | Well, actually, that question to anyone. | 20:24 |
| hamzalatif7 | just asking what files can linux read | 20:27 |
| hamzalatif7 | if its not utf8 | 20:28 |
| leftyfb | hamzalatif7: linux can "read" all files. The problem is, windows notepad adds Windows-specific garbage to the plain text files. When you've got garbage added to a text config file, the application needing that config file isn't going to be happy about the garbage | 20:29 |
| hamzalatif7 | nods ok so il do a search of that garbij that windows has just added since the error is telling me and getrid of it | 20:30 |

| hamzalatif7 | a question is it possible to completely remove fail2ban and then reinstall it with the config file newly genorated | 20:41 |
| Mathisen | hamzalatif7, purge it | 20:47 |

| ParkerR | Is there a mirror/torrent for the daily artful image? I'm getting about 400KB/s on the main link (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/artful-desktop-amd64.iso) | 20:50 |

| tgm4883 | ParkerR: not for dailies | 20:57 |
| ParkerR | tgm4883, Ahh thanks | 21:00 |
| ParkerR | tgm4883, The metalink references a .torrent which is why I was a little confused | 21:00 |
| tgm4883 | There would be little reason to do it for dailies | 21:00 |
| ParkerR | Well at the current speed it's taking over an hour to download. That's reason enough I would think :) | 21:00 |
| ParkerR | tgm4883, Since I was wanting to try on a flash drive anyways, I decided to go a bit different route :) "debootstrap --arch amd64 artful /mnt/usb" | 21:18 |
| tgm4883 | ParkerR: You'd need to get enough users to seed the dailies enough to get the benefits of a fast download, and you'd need to do that every day | 21:19 |
| ParkerR | Yeah I figured | 21:19 |
| tgm4883 | it's really not feasible. Better off to just download the daily and then use zsync | 21:19 |
| genii | <3 zsync | 21:23 |

| Snaffle | ok | 21:32 |
| psychoticwarrior | see if it works for you | 21:32 |
| tgm4883 | Snaffle: don't do that | 21:33 |
| Snaffle | lol | 21:33 |
| tgm4883 | Snaffle: for starters, for 17.10 you should be in #ubuntu+1 | 21:34 |
| Snaffle | thanks | 21:35 |
| * Snaffle slaps psychoticwarrior with a large trout | 21:36 | |
| nacc | psychoticwarrior: you may react poorly to this again, but please stop giving seemingly random advice. | 21:36 |
| nacc | psychoticwarrior: i have no earthly idea why you'd think adding i386 as a dpkg-architecture would fix totally undescribed internal errors. | 21:37 |

| psychoticwarrior | why? | 21:46 |
| oost | because you don't make sense. | 21:46 |
| psychoticwarrior | how so? | 21:47 |
| psychoticwarrior | my advice works man | 21:47 |
| psychoticwarrior | it worked on my machine | 21:47 |
| psychoticwarrior | your just pissed you dont get any girls | 21:47 |

| psychoticwarrior | this channel is very tight | 21:50 |

| nacc | psychoticwarrior: *what* problem? | 21:55 |
| psychoticwarrior | previous comment above | 21:55 |
| nacc | psychoticwarrior: which you now can't describe? | 21:55 |
| kenrin | All the problems are fixed by adding i386? | 21:55 |
| nacc | psychoticwarrior: you were on ubuntu mate 17.10 and had 'internal errors'? | 21:55 |
| Glamdesk | That would be more believable if you didn't back up your confidence with bluster about sex. It's probably good technique, though, so read up and go get paid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-sponsored_Internet_propaganda | 21:55 |

| asynec | Hi Ubuntu team, quick question for you. I want the install the best version of Ubuntu for updating into 17.10 Gnome at a later date. | 23:11 |
| asynec | What should I install if I'm installing today | 23:11 |
| asynec | 17.04 Gnome? 17.10 Beta? | 23:11 |
| adrian_1908 | asynec: I'm not the best person to answer, so take in more opinions, but I would choose 17.10 Beta in this case, because I think a lot of changes are going to happen in this jump, and I don't think 17.10 will be based on "Ubuntu Gnome". | 23:14 |
| asynec | Thanks, Adrian! | 23:15 |
| [itchyjunk] | Hello, I am trying to make a live usb of ubuntu and use that to install ubunttu on a laptop. | 23:21 |
| [itchyjunk] | i googled for live usb iso ubuntu and got this | 23:22 |
| [itchyjunk] | https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?country=US&version=16.04.3&architecture=amd64 | 23:22 |
| [itchyjunk] | is this the correct one? thanks :) | 23:22 |
| oerheks | any ubuntu version has a live mode, except the mini and server iso | 23:24 |
| [itchyjunk] | ahh i see | 23:24 |
| jojero | Good day guys, how to switch to openbox? | 23:24 |
| adrian_1908 | [itchyjunk]: That one is definitely a good choice for a laptop though :) | 23:25 |
| jojero | will my driver functions great? | 23:25 |
| [itchyjunk] | ahh nice, tyvm. would you know if it comes with non free wifi drivers? i tried debian but i didnt realize it didnt have any drivers so couldnt get wifi going | 23:25 |
| jojero | I wanna ditch gnome and do openbox | 23:26 |
| jojero | use* | 23:26 |
| adrian_1908 | [itchyjunk]: Yes, should come with non-free drivers afaik. It should ask during installation (checkbox). | 23:26 |
| jojero | so it is safe to remove gnome after installing openbox? | 23:27 |
| [itchyjunk] | adrian_1908: excellent. tyvm. o/ | 23:27 |
| jojero | teach me pls :/ | 23:28 |
| adrian_1908 | [itchyjunk]: "Install third-party software" the checkbox is called I believe. np. | 23:28 |
| [itchyjunk] | ahh, noted | 23:28 |
| jojero | anyone here using openbox? | 23:29 |
| [itchyjunk] | Not me | 23:30 |
| oerheks | so do like to build a minimal desktop with open,box, sudo apt install openbox obconf, logout and login | 23:30 |
| [itchyjunk] | this is what google suggested : openbox.org/wiki/Help:Using_Openbox_in_GNOME | 23:30 |
| oerheks | c/some | 23:30 |
| oerheks | there is no openbox ubuntu iso AFAIK | 23:31 |
| bazhang | there is lubuntu | 23:32 |
| bazhang | thats lxde/openbox | 23:32 |
| jojero | oerheks sorry for the late respond, can I run openbox without gnome | 23:52 |
| jojero | ? | 23:52 |
| bazhang | jojero, sure, use lxde | 23:53 |
| bazhang | !lubuntu | jojero | 23:54 |
| ubottu | jojero: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 23:54 |
