xdruppias a newbie on linux, is it important for me to learn bash?05:01
wxlnot a requirement but extremely useful05:02
xdruppiwhy is that?05:03
wxlbecause it's extremely powerful05:05
xdruppiwhere can i learn it? at least so that i can read basic stuff in case i need to05:05
wxltldp.org05:06
xdruppiwebsite's down05:07
xdruppii'll try later05:08
wxlit'll be back05:08
xdruppifor sure05:08
wxlhttps://ryanstutorials.net/linuxtutorial/05:08
wxlthat includes some good stuff05:08
xdruppiby the way wxl05:08
wxlincluding things that are not strictly bash (for example, grep) but you'll use in bash05:08
xdruppiim curious about the next release of lubuntu, how is the update going to happen? im using regular version05:08
xdruppido i need to reinstall the whole thing?05:09
xdruppior is it like a normal update05:09
wxlyou're on 18.10?05:09
xdruppiyes05:09
wxlnormal05:09
xdruppialright05:09
xdruppiok thanks for those websites05:09
xdruppii'll read them05:10

wxlhttps://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-the-command-line05:10
xdruppiok i'll save those in a .txt05:10
xdruppihaha05:10
xdruppii really appreciate it05:10
wxlhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal05:10
wxlnp05:10
xdruppiwhen i update from terminal there's a warning message, i am wondering if it's important, where can i paste it? it's about "cryptsetup"05:16
wxlpaste.ubuntu.com05:16
wxlbtw you can look at the man page for a useful tool that's included: `pastebinit`05:17
xdruppii'll check it out05:17
wxlif you understand the idea of pipes in linux, where you "pipe together" commands, it's super useful05:17
xdruppii think i've used copypaste programs in the past05:17
xdruppicant rememver05:17
xdruppiremember**05:17
wxlfor example, if you wanted to show me what your memory was like, you could do `free | pastebinit` and it would spit out a url that i could go to05:17
xdruppioh i see05:18
wxlor let's say you wanted to show me your broadcom pci devices and their kenerl drivers you could do something like `lspci -nnk | grep -A 3 14e4 | pastebinit`05:18
wxlthat, i'm sure looks like white noise, but it will make sense soon enough05:19
xdruppiwxl is there a log of the terminal somewhere?05:19
xdruppiof literally everything that's been output05:19
wxlsee the `history` command05:19
wxlit has a limit but you can change that limit05:19
wxl`man history`05:19
wxlalso you can try to find things that might be appropriate to something with `apropos`05:20
wxlactually not man history05:20
wxltht's the library05:20
wxl`help history`05:21
xdruppioh ok i see what history does05:22
xdruppibut it's not what i was expecting05:23
wxlyou wanted to see the response to everything05:24
wxlright?05:24
xdruppinot really, since im a big doofus i closed the terminal that had the warning05:25
xdruppiso i want to know if it's possible that there's a log in my system05:25
xdruppishowing the output05:25
wxlthink of how enormous that would be05:25
xdruppiexactly05:25
wxllet's imagine a nice one liner: `find / -type f 2>/dev/null` which will basically list every single file on your hard disk, except for those you don't have permission for05:26
wxlyou really want a log of that?05:26
xdruppioh god05:26
xdruppieither way05:27
xdruppithe output said to install a package if i wanted the warning to stop showing up05:27
xdruppii'll try to get it later05:27
xdruppii mean, the warning05:27
wxlpaste.ubuntu.com is your friend05:27
xdruppivery well05:28
xdruppiim gonna read this ryanstutorial linux guide05:29
xdruppilooks very good05:29
xdruppithen i'll check the other ones05:29
wxlsounds good be well05:29
xdruppialright, wxl06:07
xdruppii literally set up another vm to make another lubuntu installation06:07
xdruppiso that i can show the warning06:07

lubot<CSJanus> Hello, I have a question for you... 😉 ... I'm running lubuntu on small VPS and need more space. I really only need the basic functions. Which programs (that came with the package) need the most space and can be uninstalled without problems?10:32
leszeklubot: the question primarily for me why the heck did you install lubuntu on a vps?10:33
leszekYou don't need a GUI on a server10:33
leszekupps CSJanus not lubot xD10:34
leszekthose new IRC invading bots10:34
leszek:/10:34
lubot<CSJanus> I need it to run two programs that need GUI.10:35
leszekon a VPS? Makes no sense to me10:36
lubot<CSJanus> Nevertheless, I need more space...10:36
leszekCSJanus use the following command to see which packages take the most of your space:10:36
leszekdpkg-query --show --showformat='${Package;-50}\t${Installed-Size}\n' | sort -k 2 -n -r | grep -v deinstall | awk '{printf "%.3f MB \t %s\n", $2/(1024), $1}' | less10:37
lubot<CSJanus> Thanks, I will look into that. 👍10:40
defdefredI tried palemoon instead of firefox for a old PC with 1GB ram and it is really perfect19:22
defdefredI think that firefox is not the best choice for lubuntu because of its enormous memory footprint19:23
defdefredhaving palemoon in the official ubuntu repo will be delightful ;-)19:24
lubot<CSJanus> 👍19:24
lubot<teward001> defdefred: which presupposed that palemoon's already existing .deb packages get pushed by their packager into the Debian repos or into Ubuntu directly19:52
lubot<teward001> they're currently sitting on a Suse mirror19:53
lubot<teward001> so unless someone else packages it...19:53
vedoshello!21:36
vedoshas anyone gotten Wickr Me to work on latest Lubuntu?21:36
NinjaKirbyGreetings, I'm running v16.04.2, is this still the LTS version? When I try to apt-get update it fails majorly. Can't seem to install anything.23:53
wxlNinjaKirby 16.04 is ONE of the supported LTSes currently. could you pastebin what you're doing and what the results are?23:54
NinjaKirbyHmmm, can do, I'm just noticing in Terminal that it might be a DNS resolution problem.23:55
lubot<teward001> sounds like your DNS settings need updated, or your network isn't giving you good DNS servers / settings23:55
NinjaKirbyOh, yeah, sorry, I can't even get to google.co.uk, heh.23:56
NinjaKirbyIt's running as a VM, so that just increases the complexity, ugh.23:57
NinjaKirbyOh yay, I could just add additional DNS servers in the networking thing, it's working again.23:59
