xdruppi | as a newbie on linux, is it important for me to learn bash? | 05:01 |
---|---|---|
wxl | not a requirement but extremely useful | 05:02 |
xdruppi | why is that? | 05:03 |
wxl | because it's extremely powerful | 05:05 |
xdruppi | where can i learn it? at least so that i can read basic stuff in case i need to | 05:05 |
wxl | tldp.org | 05:06 |
xdruppi | website's down | 05:07 |
xdruppi | i'll try later | 05:08 |
wxl | it'll be back | 05:08 |
xdruppi | for sure | 05:08 |
wxl | https://ryanstutorials.net/linuxtutorial/ | 05:08 |
wxl | that includes some good stuff | 05:08 |
xdruppi | by the way wxl | 05:08 |
wxl | including things that are not strictly bash (for example, grep) but you'll use in bash | 05:08 |
xdruppi | im curious about the next release of lubuntu, how is the update going to happen? im using regular version | 05:08 |
xdruppi | do i need to reinstall the whole thing? | 05:09 |
xdruppi | or is it like a normal update | 05:09 |
wxl | you're on 18.10? | 05:09 |
xdruppi | yes | 05:09 |
wxl | normal | 05:09 |
xdruppi | alright | 05:09 |
xdruppi | ok thanks for those websites | 05:09 |
xdruppi | i'll read them | 05:10 |
wxl | http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_learning_the_shell.php | 05:10 |
wxl | https://www.lynda.com/Linux-tutorials/Learning-Linux-Command-Line/435539-2.html | 05:10 |
wxl | https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-the-command-line | 05:10 |
xdruppi | ok i'll save those in a .txt | 05:10 |
xdruppi | haha | 05:10 |
xdruppi | i really appreciate it | 05:10 |
wxl | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 05:10 |
wxl | np | 05:10 |
xdruppi | when 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 |
wxl | paste.ubuntu.com | 05:16 |
wxl | btw you can look at the man page for a useful tool that's included: `pastebinit` | 05:17 |
xdruppi | i'll check it out | 05:17 |
wxl | if you understand the idea of pipes in linux, where you "pipe together" commands, it's super useful | 05:17 |
xdruppi | i think i've used copypaste programs in the past | 05:17 |
xdruppi | cant rememver | 05:17 |
xdruppi | remember** | 05:17 |
wxl | for 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 to | 05:17 |
xdruppi | oh i see | 05:18 |
wxl | or 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 |
wxl | that, i'm sure looks like white noise, but it will make sense soon enough | 05:19 |
xdruppi | wxl is there a log of the terminal somewhere? | 05:19 |
xdruppi | of literally everything that's been output | 05:19 |
wxl | see the `history` command | 05:19 |
wxl | it has a limit but you can change that limit | 05:19 |
wxl | `man history` | 05:19 |
wxl | also you can try to find things that might be appropriate to something with `apropos` | 05:20 |
wxl | actually not man history | 05:20 |
wxl | tht's the library | 05:20 |
wxl | `help history` | 05:21 |
xdruppi | oh ok i see what history does | 05:22 |
xdruppi | but it's not what i was expecting | 05:23 |
wxl | you wanted to see the response to everything | 05:24 |
wxl | right? | 05:24 |
xdruppi | not really, since im a big doofus i closed the terminal that had the warning | 05:25 |
xdruppi | so i want to know if it's possible that there's a log in my system | 05:25 |
xdruppi | showing the output | 05:25 |
wxl | think of how enormous that would be | 05:25 |
xdruppi | exactly | 05:25 |
wxl | let'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 for | 05:26 |
wxl | you really want a log of that? | 05:26 |
xdruppi | oh god | 05:26 |
xdruppi | either way | 05:27 |
xdruppi | the output said to install a package if i wanted the warning to stop showing up | 05:27 |
xdruppi | i'll try to get it later | 05:27 |
xdruppi | i mean, the warning | 05:27 |
wxl | paste.ubuntu.com is your friend | 05:27 |
xdruppi | very well | 05:28 |
xdruppi | im gonna read this ryanstutorial linux guide | 05:29 |
xdruppi | looks very good | 05:29 |
xdruppi | then i'll check the other ones | 05:29 |
wxl | sounds good be well | 05:29 |
xdruppi | alright, wxl | 06:07 |
xdruppi | i literally set up another vm to make another lubuntu installation | 06:07 |
xdruppi | so that i can show the warning | 06:07 |

lubot | CSJanus was added by: CSJanus | 10:15 |
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 |
leszek | lubot: the question primarily for me why the heck did you install lubuntu on a vps? | 10:33 |
leszek | You don't need a GUI on a server | 10:33 |
leszek | upps CSJanus not lubot xD | 10:34 |
leszek | those new IRC invading bots | 10:34 |
leszek | :/ | 10:34 |
lubot | <CSJanus> I need it to run two programs that need GUI. | 10:35 |
leszek | on a VPS? Makes no sense to me | 10:36 |
lubot | <CSJanus> Nevertheless, I need more space... | 10:36 |
leszek | CSJanus use the following command to see which packages take the most of your space: | 10:36 |
leszek | dpkg-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}' | less | 10:37 |
lubot | <CSJanus> Thanks, I will look into that. 👍 | 10:40 |
defdefred | I tried palemoon instead of firefox for a old PC with 1GB ram and it is really perfect | 19:22 |
defdefred | I think that firefox is not the best choice for lubuntu because of its enormous memory footprint | 19:23 |
defdefred | having 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 directly | 19:52 |
lubot | <teward001> they're currently sitting on a Suse mirror | 19:53 |
lubot | <teward001> so unless someone else packages it... | 19:53 |
vedos | hello! | 21:36 |
vedos | has anyone gotten Wickr Me to work on latest Lubuntu? | 21:36 |
NinjaKirby | Greetings, 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 |
wxl | NinjaKirby 16.04 is ONE of the supported LTSes currently. could you pastebin what you're doing and what the results are? | 23:54 |
NinjaKirby | Hmmm, 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 / settings | 23:55 |
NinjaKirby | Oh, yeah, sorry, I can't even get to google.co.uk, heh. | 23:56 |
NinjaKirby | It's running as a VM, so that just increases the complexity, ugh. | 23:57 |
NinjaKirby | Oh yay, I could just add additional DNS servers in the networking thing, it's working again. | 23:59 |
