| Thedarkb-X40 | help. | 00:34 |
| Thedarkb-X40 | I'll try a reboot | 00:35 |
| Irritiable|LT | Mesa utils shouldn't be causing issues like that. | 00:38 |

| egy | When I lock my desktop screen, I get a blank screen when I get back and I have to restart lightdm service from another tty, which closes all my windows | 11:37 |
| egy | here's the log of `systemctl status lightdm.service`. I think the last line is interesting: https://ghostbin.com/paste/7cwyz | 11:41 |
| ryan-c | I'm at the point where I really need to do a reinstall this weekend - am I better off installing 17.10 and then upgrading to 18.04 when it comes out, installing the 18.04 beta, or using the daily? | 15:17 |
| diogenes_ | I'd use 16.04 up until 2021 | 15:19 |
| ryan-c | Why? | 15:20 |
| ryan-c | I'd rather just use Stretch if I'm going to install something that isn't fresh. | 15:22 |
| diogenes_ | ryan-c, it depends what your needs from an OS are | 15:22 |
| diogenes_ | either being on the bleeding edge or you prefer stability and so on | 15:23 |
| ryan-c | I prefer stability, and have mostly had good luck even with fairly recent *buntu LTS releases. (my current system is 14.04 and has become unstable due to bad configuration choices I made) | 15:24 |
| ryan-c | I really like being able to do an install and use it for 3-5 years before having to do a fresh install. | 15:27 |
| diogenes_ | so do i | 15:28 |

| mand0lin | Hi there. I'm gonna read a book that needs Kali Linux installed. Can I combine it with lubuntu or just install kali? | 20:24 |
| wxl | mand0lin: you could probably do it with lubuntu but you'd need to install all the tools that are built into kali and there may be version mismatches so ymmv | 20:25 |
| mand0lin | thanks wxl | 20:25 |
| wxl | mand0lin: kali is a security-focused distro and so they may have patches that we dno't | 20:26 |
| mand0lin | can I still do usual stuff with kali? I really enjoy lubuntu | 20:26 |
| wxl | well you could run kali in a vm in lubuntu | 20:26 |
| wxl | probably more appropriate anyways | 20:26 |
| wxl | that said kali is debian based so your experience will be similar to lubuntu in many ways | 20:27 |
| wxl | https://docs.kali.org/policy/kali-linux-relationship-with-debian <<< mostly it's debian testing except a few forks | 20:28 |
| wxl | i will say the list of tools you'll need to install in lubuntu are ridiculous https://tools.kali.org/tools-listing | 20:28 |
| mand0lin | I'd like to have Kali and lubuntu on different PC's just in case I f+++ up with Kali...I've heard it's easy | 20:29 |
| wxl | that said, i'd suggest getting a virtual machine and running kali in that, inside your lubuntu install, at least assuming you have the ram | 20:29 |
| mand0lin | ok thanks wxl | 20:29 |
| wxl | so you could do something like this: | 20:29 |
| wxl | 1. install kali in a vm | 20:29 |
| wxl | 2. take a snapshot | 20:30 |
| wxl | 3. do some upgrades to kali | 20:30 |
| wxl | 4. take a snapshot | 20:30 |
| wxl | 5. do something that creates a problem | 20:30 |
| wxl | at that point, you have the option of reverting back to the state of #2 or #4, which might help determine where you went wrong. in that way, it's a good tool for learning | 20:31 |
| mand0lin | ok. I'm finishing a book on python and then I'll try Kali (it appears in abook called black hat python) | 20:31 |
| wxl | you mean grey hat python? cuz that's a great book | 20:32 |
| wxl | oh no you mean black hat. haven't read that one. i think i've got the epub laying around though. same author. | 20:32 |
| mand0lin | well i've found black hat python | 20:32 |
| mand0lin | i didn't know there was grey hat as well :) | 20:33 |
| wxl | i think grey hat was first | 20:33 |
| mand0lin | so this author is getting rogue as time goes by (?) XD | 20:34 |
| mand0lin | I'll check it | 20:34 |
| mand0lin | thanks wxl | 20:34 |
| wxl | grey hat is more based on reverse engineering | 20:35 |
| wxl | black hat is actually more offensive security | 20:35 |
| wxl | you can look at grey hat as a programming security book where as black hat is more of an operational security book | 20:35 |
| wxl | anyways have fun :) | 20:36 |
| mand0lin | thanks, appreciate your help | 20:36 |
| wxl | no problem | 20:36 |
