[00:00] macc: I have not gksudo, apt-get install gksu only? [00:00] nautilus-admin plugin gives that option, opening as root [00:01] rollingubuntu: *nacc* is my nick, not 'macc'. if you have gksu on ubuntu, i think you also have gksudo [00:01] rollingubuntu: what version of ubuntu? [00:01] oerheks: ah thanks [00:01] got you :) nacc [00:01] nacc: 17.10 [00:01] * but nautilus does not work in 17.10/wayland session :-( fix is being made [00:02] rollingubuntu: hrm, i'm fairly sure gksudo is in 17.10 [00:02] oerheks: do you have it handy? [00:02] (i'm on 18.04 right now) [00:02] err synaptic, forget the line... [00:02] nacc: it wasn't in mine, I just installed gksu [00:02] synaptic didnt work for me on wayland either [00:03] rollingubuntu: right gksu is the package name [00:03] rollingubuntu: but the applicatio you want is gksudo [00:03] nacc: plus, I get this with gksudonautilus --> Failed to run nautilus as user root. Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file. [00:04] whats best practice for swap size? 50 percent of the size of the physical ram? [00:05] rangemonger: you don't technically need swap [00:05] rangemonger: it wholly depends on workload [00:05] *best* is let ubuntu hande it, 17.10 uses swapfile [00:05] with no swapfile or partition, wont things brickwall? [00:05] if your workload uses up all of memory [00:05] rangemonger: again, i said it's workload dependent [00:05] rangemonger: yeah if you have lots of ram .. but if you low ram the same size i would think [00:05] seems like you know the answer yourself already, rangemonger [00:05] oerheks: but my use case is on btrfs, no swap file support [00:06] guess ill make it the same size [00:06] off course it wont brickwall if i dont use all the physical ram up but why risk that being a possibility [00:07] !swap [00:07] 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 [00:07] memory + some bytes, or 2x memory [00:07] i know what its for :P [00:07] i don;t need it but i have 4gb ram so i have 4 gb swap [00:07] so far my micro servers been fine without it on 2gig [00:08] i just found out btrfs doesnt do swapfiles yet [00:13] man btrfs is awesome [00:17] hola [00:18] hails [00:31] I did a clean install of ubuntu server. Im getting static ip from dhcp on my router. But when I check /etc/networking/interfaces there is nothing there but standard "lo" entry [00:31] where is the information stored for my nic to be dhcp [00:31] information it gather during the installation [00:32] I thought it would be in interfaces [00:34] libben, did you manually set that static ip during install?? then it would show up there [00:34] else your router reserves that ip based on your mac, i guess [00:35] no [00:35] my router has it locked to static in dhcp. [00:35] but ubuntu server should have entry for that nic in interfaces [00:36] being something like iface inet enp1s0 dhcp [00:36] there is nothing like that in my interfaces [00:36] on 17.10 it could be stored in /etc/netplan/*.yaml [00:36] if i just made a new swap partition, how do i get it to activate swapon on every boot? [00:36] fstab rangemonger [00:36] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Netplan [00:37] thanks [00:37] https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-space-on-ubuntu-16-04 rangemonger [00:37] sorry [00:37] that was swapfile [00:37] not partition [00:38] https://askubuntu.com/questions/33697/how-do-i-add-a-swap-partition-after-system-installation [00:38] more simple instructions there [00:39] !swaphttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How_do_I_add_or_modify_a_swap_partition.3F [00:39] thanks [00:40] hmm, oerheks why did they start with netplan =) [00:40] interfaces is simple [00:40] =) [00:41] sick [00:41] lets see if gnome disks does it right [00:41] netplan is great for deploying a large number of machines [00:42] baller, it does indeed [00:42] but if your router serves you, be happy [00:42] well, it does what I want. [00:42] so it works i guess [00:43] just weird that ubuntu server installation puts it into netplan [00:44] I installed 18.04 current build. is there any good meta package to have?

There's a few exceptions, eg if you upgrade nvidia proprietary drivers, anything that uses opengl will break until you modprobe the matching kernel module [06:25] modprobe what means? [06:25] jk^: and it's hypothetically possible that certain programs will barf if their on-disk files change to a newer version although I can't think of any specific one that does this [06:26] jk^: modprobe is for loading drivers [06:26] is it an app "modprobe"?

[07:13] Neo4, that means you need to not do it from a system that is running in use, ie it is NOT mounted [07:14] Neo4, you burn either the ubuntu iso to usb, or the gparted iso to usb, and select to boot from usb in the bios [07:14] bazhang: I did form usb and the same error [07:15] Neo4, what did you boot [07:15] bazhang: this is my theme https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2385035&p=13740044#post13740044 [07:15] Neo4, theme means nothing here [07:15] Neo4, what did you boot [07:16] i'm novice, uname -r returns 4.13.0-32-generic [07:16] how do i install Linux headers for the kernel?

I can other to try, might be it will work [07:20] Neo4, what do you mean, gparted has their own 60mb iso to burn to usb [07:20] bazhang: see http://pix.toile-libre.org/?img=1518852018.png [07:21] Neo4, dont use unetbootin to do it [07:21] bazhang: there many others, or they not suited? [07:22] Neo4, the problem is not with gparted, it's your burn that's the problem [07:22] bazhang: can you run gparted form installed ubuntu? [07:23] Neo4, you would need to install it, but one never does that, as it's trying to do it on a running system [07:23] bazhang: see http://pix.toile-libre.org/?img=1518852195.png [07:23] Neo4, so fix the original usb burn, not using unetbootin [07:23] it can't run [07:24] Neo4, so you need to re-burn the iso to usb [07:24]
