[00:46] AdamOutler, did upgrading to 18.04 give you problems? [01:04] what kind of problems? [01:20] The packages are completely broken. [01:21] Sorry, I tried upgrading my work laptop and it died very early in the process. With some finagling I can get into a root shell but I can't do anything with apt. [01:22] I'm curious if AdamOutler experienced the same thing. [01:22] I'm currently backing everything up so I can do a fresh install. It's been forever since I've had issues this bad upgrading an Ubuntu machine. [17:26] I got impatient with updates last night on my laptop, I'm now waking up to kernel panics lol [17:27] So installing the base system, regenerating fstab + initramfs [17:27] then reboot and try again [18:24] apparmor was incorrectly configured for bind9 dns server. I had to grant permissions to bind for /var/log** [18:29] Fixed -- kept forgetting to mount /EFI to >> /boot when rebuilding initramfs - went ahead and redid systemd as well since it was complaining about /init [18:29] Atleast I hope it's mostly fixed -- booted into X just now [18:29] with net connectivity [18:31] Protip - don't do mass upgrades while impatient w/ no sleep. You tend to say screw it and force dependency hangups [18:33] @AdamOutler - Did you want to meetup somewhere to get that Google WiFi today? [18:58] @KMyers we good with the router deal? [19:50] @Ivoriesablaze, I am sure we can be [20:25] cava + cool retro term = not performance friendly, but looks nice [21:41] So I just upgraded to 18.04 [21:42] I'm using pop os version [21:42] On a Sys76 box? [21:42] yea [21:42] What does popOS do differently? [21:42] I did a clean install. backed up my laptop and started fresh. I've always prefered clean install [21:42] Honestly, i just like their take on the theme and interface layout [21:43] that's about it. that i know of [21:43] maybe @ahoneybun can tell you more. [21:43] but i've been using system76 hardware for a while now. even before they had pop os [21:43] oh - it's Gnome3 + Sys theme / mods? [21:43] this is actually my second s76 laptop [21:44] If my XPS ever bites the dust, I'll probably order one. [21:44] yea. gnome 3 with themes [21:44] And after the kernel panics this morning, I contemplated installing 18.05 [21:44] er.. 18.04 lol [21:44] Because LTS these days is sounding better and better. Don't have the time to tshoot silly mistakes anymore [21:45] exactly [21:45] i'm sticking on 18.04 now [21:45] i switched to vmware workstation pro for all my virtualization testing though from virtualbox. [21:45] bspwm in the 1804 repos by chance? [21:45] vmware workstation was my bane on a rolling distro [21:46] each kernel update required fixes to vmware workstation [21:46] vbox and dkms headers are feeling similar - although it supposed to resolve that issue exactly [21:46] yea i do hate that about workstation [21:47] I'll probably get back into VMing it up pretty hard in the near future after this exam [21:47] I mostly use it for testing stuff [21:47] I'll def be looking for a dif provider for my VMs [21:47] well, hypervisor ** [21:47] That's what I use it for. [21:47] if i want to play with a virus or something in kali i don't care about getting full resource access too [21:47] Labs/testing - but it's all personal / cert related [21:48] what cert you looking to study for? [21:48] I should have my CCNA done again here in the next 1.5 weeks [21:48] then it's straight on to NP and if I can swing it, RHCSA [21:49] figure I'll let the LFCS expire for now [21:49] very nice [21:49] a few guys i work with have red hat certs [21:50] All of our stuff at work is centos/forks + rhel [21:50] i need to get my vcp soon. i took it recently but failed. [21:50] so figure it'd be good to get back into the redhat ecosystem [21:50] i needed a 300 and got a 251 [21:50] oo [21:50] got killed on storage questions [21:50] close [21:50] A little worried about my own exam - have had no time to study for it but scheduled it anyway [21:50] i don't fully study so not too bad [21:50] ^ [21:51] I took the course for VCP - but never the exam [21:51] That was like -- ~6-7 yrs back [21:51] No, 8. I forgot I'm old now [21:51] aren't we all [22:22] With the clean install of Pop 18.04 you also have a recovery partition in case something breaks and you don't have a live disk to fix it. [22:22] We also moved to systemd-boot from grub this release. [22:23] Where I'm working from today. [22:23] I think my next lappie will be a Sys76 - because I'm lazy these days. [22:23] They offer anything on the 13" side? [22:24] Galago Pro. Thought the Lemur is getting a refresh with it's 14 in size. [22:28] I have the Lemur and love it [22:28] and now it has a quad core version [22:28] i messed up abd bought it when it was only dual core [22:28] @KMyers not today. [22:28] What time do you get off work? [22:29] @AdamOutler, Normally between 5 and 6 ish. [22:29] About the same for me. Sometimes a bit earlier. [22:30] You want to try to meet up tomorrow after work? [22:30] quick exchange. [22:30] unless you want to drive out to Pines tonight. [22:30] @AdamOutler, I can. Just ping me in the afternoon. [22:30] Ok. [22:37] galaga pro looks nice [22:37] The bezels are real tho [22:37] Might opt for the larger laptops in that case. A GPU wouldn't be bad either [22:43] JavadOmidiBot was added by: Feri Golin [22:49] Anyone had any luck with SYnergy2? [22:51] @Abrerr, I have not used it in years. Have not had much of a need to [22:51] @KMyers, Ohhhh - how do you manage your machines locally? [22:53] I moved most of my machines to a colo. I have 3 displays connected to my main machine at my desk [22:54] colo -- KVM Switch? Or telco-like colo? [22:54] Telco like Colo [22:55] In fact, my primary computer right now has been a Chromebook [22:55] You're only using the 1 KB/M for the pair of machines I see @ the desk, right? [22:56] I can understand the rest of they're hosted elsewhere, I imagine some multiplexer + SSH would work well there [22:56] Yes, they are connected to my Chromebook [22:56] @Abrerr, For some things yes... But ChromeOS is about to get very interesting [22:57] So Chromebook + larger monitors are all physically connected via HDMI/DisplayPort/we. But the mini-top you have, does that work with your KB/M? [22:57] I forget the name of that thing, but I'm jelly [22:57] https://kmyers.me/blog/chromeos/getting-started-with-chromeos-containers-via-project-crostini/ [22:58] @Abrerr, Here is my exact setup - https://kmyers.me/blog/computers/the-ultimate-chromebook-pixelbook-desk-setup/ [22:59] Lordy, you're chromebooking it all. [22:59] right on [23:00] Note - my setup is operating system agnostic. I can connect a Chromebook, Ubuntu, Debian, Windows or even MacOS device and it will just work [23:00] I just need to plug in a single USB cable [23:00] I feel like I need a physical tour [23:00] rofl [23:01] That's cool though [23:01] Pixelbook was on my list there for a while - but not for use like you're doing. [23:02] @Abrerr, It is really an amazing machine. I regret not getting the 500 GB version
