[05:01] as a newbie on linux, is it important for me to learn bash? [05:02] not a requirement but extremely useful [05:03] why is that? [05:05] because it's extremely powerful [05:05] where can i learn it? at least so that i can read basic stuff in case i need to [05:06] tldp.org [05:07] website's down [05:08] i'll try later [05:08] it'll be back [05:08] for sure [05:08] https://ryanstutorials.net/linuxtutorial/ [05:08] that includes some good stuff [05:08] by the way wxl [05:08] including things that are not strictly bash (for example, grep) but you'll use in bash [05:08] im curious about the next release of lubuntu, how is the update going to happen? im using regular version [05:09] do i need to reinstall the whole thing? [05:09] or is it like a normal update [05:09] you're on 18.10? [05:09] yes [05:09] normal [05:09] alright [05:09] ok thanks for those websites [05:10] i'll read them [05:10] http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_learning_the_shell.php [05:10] https://www.lynda.com/Linux-tutorials/Learning-Linux-Command-Line/435539-2.html [05:10] https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-the-command-line [05:10] ok i'll save those in a .txt [05:10] haha [05:10] i really appreciate it [05:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [05:10] np [05:16] 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] paste.ubuntu.com [05:17] btw you can look at the man page for a useful tool that's included: `pastebinit` [05:17] i'll check it out [05:17] if you understand the idea of pipes in linux, where you "pipe together" commands, it's super useful [05:17] i think i've used copypaste programs in the past [05:17] cant rememver [05:17] remember** [05:17] 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 [05:18] oh i see [05:18] 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` [05:19] that, i'm sure looks like white noise, but it will make sense soon enough [05:19] wxl is there a log of the terminal somewhere? [05:19] of literally everything that's been output [05:19] see the `history` command [05:19] it has a limit but you can change that limit [05:19] `man history` [05:20] also you can try to find things that might be appropriate to something with `apropos` [05:20] actually not man history [05:20] tht's the library [05:21] `help history` [05:22] oh ok i see what history does [05:23] but it's not what i was expecting [05:24] you wanted to see the response to everything [05:24] right? [05:25] not really, since im a big doofus i closed the terminal that had the warning [05:25] so i want to know if it's possible that there's a log in my system [05:25] showing the output [05:25] think of how enormous that would be [05:25] exactly [05:26] 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] you really want a log of that? [05:26] oh god [05:27] either way [05:27] the output said to install a package if i wanted the warning to stop showing up [05:27] i'll try to get it later [05:27] i mean, the warning [05:27] paste.ubuntu.com is your friend [05:28] very well [05:29] im gonna read this ryanstutorial linux guide [05:29] looks very good [05:29] then i'll check the other ones [05:29] sounds good be well [06:07] alright, wxl [06:07] i literally set up another vm to make another lubuntu installation [06:07] so that i can show the warning [06:16] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rcf8sjw3gX/ [10:15] CSJanus was added by: CSJanus [10:32] 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? [10:33] lubot: the question primarily for me why the heck did you install lubuntu on a vps? [10:33] You don't need a GUI on a server [10:34] upps CSJanus not lubot xD [10:34] those new IRC invading bots [10:34] :/ [10:35] I need it to run two programs that need GUI. [10:36] on a VPS? Makes no sense to me [10:36] Nevertheless, I need more space... [10:36] CSJanus use the following command to see which packages take the most of your space: [10:37] 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 [10:40] Thanks, I will look into that. 👍 [19:22] I tried palemoon instead of firefox for a old PC with 1GB ram and it is really perfect [19:23] I think that firefox is not the best choice for lubuntu because of its enormous memory footprint [19:24] having palemoon in the official ubuntu repo will be delightful ;-) [19:24] 👍 [19:52] defdefred: which presupposed that palemoon's already existing .deb packages get pushed by their packager into the Debian repos or into Ubuntu directly [19:53] they're currently sitting on a Suse mirror [19:53] so unless someone else packages it... [21:36] hello! [21:36] has anyone gotten Wickr Me to work on latest Lubuntu? [23:53] 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. [23:54] NinjaKirby 16.04 is ONE of the supported LTSes currently. could you pastebin what you're doing and what the results are? [23:55] Hmmm, can do, I'm just noticing in Terminal that it might be a DNS resolution problem. [23:55] sounds like your DNS settings need updated, or your network isn't giving you good DNS servers / settings [23:56] Oh, yeah, sorry, I can't even get to google.co.uk, heh. [23:57] It's running as a VM, so that just increases the complexity, ugh. [23:59] Oh yay, I could just add additional DNS servers in the networking thing, it's working again.
