BluesKajHiyas all11:09
nicomachustrying to decide if I should do this upgrade.14:41
nicomachusI wanna check out the newest version of Gnome but at the same time I've spent a good deal of time customizing my own Gnome env over here.14:42
TJ-nicomachus: install into a container maybe?14:48
TJ-or install into a separate LVM LV and then add a GRUB boot entry to it14:48
nicomachusTJ-: you're getting outside my comfort zone. :P14:55
nicomachusI've never done any of that. I've done VMs in Virtualbox and that's about it14:55
TJ-nicomachus: for hardware testing LVM LVs is the way, and it's very easy to do.14:57
TJ-and those same LVs can be built/installed via a VM first14:57
nicomachusLV?15:02
* nicomachus is reminded of Elon Musk's ASS memo15:02
TJ-In Logical Volume Management (LVM) we go RAW_BLOCK_DEVICE -> Physical Volume (PV) -> device for -> Volume Group (VG) -> parent of -> Logical Volumes (LV) -> File-System15:05
TJ-nicomachus: in real terms: pvcreate /dev/sda9; vgcreate My_VG /dev/sda9; lvcreate -L 4G -n My_LV My_VG; mkfs.ext4 -L My_LV /dev/mapper/My_VG-My-LV;15:06
nicomachusTJ-: do you not like piping or what? lol17:46
nicomachuspastebinit <( rfkill list) instead of rfkill list | pastebinit17:46
nicomachusI've noticed you do that a lot.17:47
TJ-nicomachus: always. Having "pastebinit" first makes it clear thats the command to run. Also, I can do "pastebinit <( command 1) <(command 2) <(command 3) if I want to; can't do that with pipes17:52
nicomachusI see. interesting.17:52
leftyfbhm, interesting17:52
leftyfbnever knew you could do that17:53
leftyfbhm17:54
leftyfbyou can't17:54
leftyfbmultiple <()'s will give you multiple pastebins17:54
leftyfbnot a single one17:54
nicomachusI think multiple is the point17:54
leftyfbI guess if that's what you're looking for that works17:54
TJ-correct17:54
nicomachusbut it's all in one command17:54
leftyfbstill nifty17:55
TJ-When I'm working with a SLOW responder I can batch up several commands and get logical pastebins all in one go17:55
TJ-what should take 2 mins can otherwise take an hour17:55
TJ-also why I surround all commands with " to make it clear what is my commentary, and what is a command17:55
TJ-Can never have enough precision in this medium.17:56
leftyfbwhat about that tool I can never remember the name of .... basically outputs a ton of hardware data and logs17:57
daftykinsif it's not installed in a base image it's often useless17:58
daftykinstrying to get a user to add something before giving you info, especially if that system is hosed, eek17:58
nicomachusI go for ` to denote commands instead of ", just because ` is usually the formatting code in markdown languages.17:58
nicomachussomeone set ubottu to send PMs instead of channel messages on pipe?18:03
nicomachus!info apt | nicomachus18:03

nicomachusis how he just told someone to go 17.04 -> 17.1019:13
oerheksv3nom surely acts like his name19:13
nicomachuslol19:14
nicomachusclogging up the channel with is endless 'enter's19:15
oerheksheya lotus19:15
lotuspsychjehey hey19:15
lotuspsychjejust upgraded to final19:15
oerheksyay\0/19:15
oerheks i am still on 17.0419:15

lotuspsychjecool19:17
lotuspsychje!isitoutyet19:17
ubot5Yes!19:17
oerheksi am a little musslepain, sniffy, cold .. going to bed again19:17
lotuspsychjeohhh have a nice warm gingertea oerheks19:18
nicomachusaaaaand there he goes19:18
lotuspsychjenot gonna stay long neither19:18
lotuspsychjejust in and out tonight19:18
lotuspsychjestill got that launch bug and windows buttons missing hmmm19:19
lotuspsychjei blame wayland :p19:19
daxthere's an xorg session in the login manager, if you'd like to test that theory :319:19
lotuspsychjehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/171865319:20
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1718653 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "Windows buttons gone on specific programs" [Undecided,Confirmed]19:20
lotuspsychjedax: tnx for the idea lemme try that19:20
nacci struggle sometimes with people like v3nom. They know enough, practically, to answer questions. But they don't seem to konw why they konw what they know. Or why what they are suggesting works.19:21
nacce.g., throwing every apt subcommand at a wall and a release upgrade check, just to see if you're current??19:21
naccyes, that will do ... something19:21
oerheksthere is no i in team..19:21
daxit's the stackoverflow problem19:21
naccbut it's not "right" or efficent19:22
naccdax: absolutely19:22
daxpeople google their problem, find some command on SO, and throw it into their notes without any comprehension of what it's doing19:22
daxmuch worse in actual programming19:22
naccyep19:22
naccbecause "it works"19:22
naccbut that's so insufficient in the long-term19:22
naccit's crazy :)19:22
daftykinsit's pretty amazing they haven't even worked out the repetition in their own commands19:22
daxuntil it doesn't, and then you're SOL because you don't know what it does19:22
naccdax: yep19:22
daxat least this example is Mostly Harmless19:22
oerheksre-install is so much fun :-D19:23
naccyep19:23
lotuspsychjedax: yep, working again in xorg19:23
lotuspsychjetnx for the headsup19:23
dax*nod* points to wayland indeed, then19:24
daxdidrocks has a nice article on sessions in 17.10 and who gets what on upgrade/reinstall, btw: https://didrocks.fr/2017/10/18/ubuntu-gnome-shell-in-artful-day-16/19:24
lotuspsychjelets c19:25
daxsomebody said their ubuntu gnome upgrade went a little screwy though, so maybe still some kinks to work out on the upgrade case19:25
lotuspsychjeinteresting19:26
TJ-I guess there's going to be a lot of difficult-to-diagnose GUI issues with the switch to the Gnome wayland compositor19:27
oerheksinteresting article, as extra to the releasenotes.. no screenshot utility available?19:27
oerhekshttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtfulAardvark/ReleaseNotes/#screenshot19:28
oerheksthis is nice one too: Graphical applications can't be run as root from terminal19:29
TJ-going to be some howls from folks using VNC etc too19:29
daftykinsno more config breakage by amateurs!?19:30
lotuspsychjeyay19:30
daftykinsabout time they dumped that plaintext fiend :)19:30
daftykinslotus heya \o19:30
lotuspsychjei wonder how many 'unsupported' hardware there will be on wayland19:31
oerheksand: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R keyboard shortcut to start video recording of the whole desktop, 30 second, placed in ~/Videos19:31
lotuspsychjehey hey daftykins19:31
TJ-I'm glad I work from terminal not GUI!19:31
lotuspsychjelol19:31
lotuspsychjesoo xorg aint dead yet19:32
TJ-it's sad how much functionality is being torn out in the pursuit of 'progress'.19:33
lotuspsychjethink we gonna need it the comming days$19:33
lotuspsychjebbl guys, tv time for now19:33
TJ-I think 2104 was about the high point, since then I've lost track of the regressions across the entire stack19:33
lotuspsychjehave a nice119:33
nicomachus>press Ctrl-H20:10
nicomachus15:07 < piraye> press: command not found20:10
* nicomachus facepalms, parts channel, quits irssi, sudo poweroff's, and goes home20:10
TJ-I'm leaving... new release == madhouse20:10
TJ-snap20:10
TJ-I'm going to just run the huskies to the north pole and back... I may be a while20:10
daftykinsTJ-: enjoy :)20:10
nicomachusI should probably just throw in an rm -rf / while I'm at it20:11
daftykinsnicomachus: it'll never be enough20:11
nicomachusI'm actually just gonna go back to trying to find a way to access the images assets of this icon pack20:11
Bashing-omnicomachus: Looking for that rabbit hole :P20:11
daxnicomachus: nah, you need sudo rm -rf / && sudo rm -rf /* && sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 && sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M && sync && sync && sync && sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda20:12
nicomachuslol20:13
nicomachusmaybe a && sudo apt clean on there for good measure20:13
nicomachusjust to be safe20:13
TJ-I wish I had a £ for every fix I've done with acpi_osi!20:20
TJ-i'd be able to afford pie&chips :D20:20
Bashing-omTJ-: Not counting all the times I have directed per your instruction.20:21
TJ-What's worse is we cannot blame Microsoft. This is all down to the firmware authors in the manufacturers, mostly Chinese/Asian teams that still seem to only know Windows20:23
daftykinsTJ-: hey i thought you were overstocked on pie ;D20:24
TJ-only Apple20:24
TJ-I and the Huskies could eat a pallet of steak pies20:25
TJ-poor lordcirth :)20:28
Bashing-omHummm .. Beef Pot Pies ... Good things :D20:29
nicomachusTJ-: found a minor drawback to your method of pastebinit. But maybe it's a bonus.20:46
nicomachusIt shows the output in terminal. Piping to pastebinit doesn't, just throws the link20:46
TJ-nicomachus: what command did you test it with? that'd only happen if there was output to stderr20:48
nicomachustree20:50
nicomachustree >(pastebinit)20:50
nicomachuserr20:50
nicomachusscratch that. reverse it.20:50
nicomachuspastebinit >(tree)20:50
TJ-wrong way, you're sending into the sub-process. it should be pastebinit <(tree)20:50
nicomachusoh right. whooops.20:51
TJ-LOL20:51
TJ-it's shell redirection of a sub-process output20:51
