[00:04] good find, JFlash [00:04] have fun! === ac is now known as Guest70902 [00:10] wonder if the windows partition needs the boot flag enabled on it. [00:12] steveken: my EFI partition has boot and esp flags [00:12] yeah, that's waht the first partition has on it. [00:13] the best option is to reinstall windows at this point, I think [00:20] anyone here use pgp [00:21] is that even useful still?

Whenever I run it I get: `newaliases: fatal: execv /usr/bin/postalias: No such file or directory` === \\\\\\\\\ is now known as burdirc\uptime === burdirc\uptime is now known as Taco === urxtnw2 is now known as urxtnw === M_A_Y_A_T is now known as m_A_y_A_t [01:40] What's the name of that package that puts legacy system tray icons into their proper place in Gnome 3? [01:40] Example, to put my Hexchat icon in the top right system tray. [01:46] noah_h, not sure what's happening to you, but on my system /usr/bin/newaliases is part of the postfix package, not mailutils. What MTA are you using? (sendmail, postfix, exim are common) [01:47] rfm: postfix, this issue is ocurring in a pretty straight forward Docker container: https://github.com/Noah-Huppert/email-container/blob/master/Dockerfile#L24 [01:48] I couldn't find a Ubuntu package that provided the postalias file either... [01:52] noah_h, postalias is in postfix package (although it's /usr/sbin/postalias, not /usr/bin/postalias as in your message) [01:57] rfm: huh [02:02] need help [02:02] my right click does not open any options [02:02] noah_on my working postfix ubuntu, newaliases is /usr/bin/newaliases, which is a symlink to /usr/sbin/sendmail, which execs /usr/sbin/postalias. Alll those are part of the postfix package. you might check where yours differs (my guess is there is a mixture of MTA packages installed, entirely too many things provide "sendmail") [02:03] in ubuntu there is nothing it can do [02:03] works pk in with console [02:03] works ok in with console [02:03] I have both keyboard & touch screen netbook [02:04] Im not very technical [02:11] rfm: Maybe installing in noninteractive is screwing something up, like the symlink, I know the configure step asks for user input so I wouldn't we surprised if noninteractive not giving input made it skip a symlink. [02:11] thanks for the details, I'll try manually symlinking [02:11] how do i fine tune ubuntu [02:13] tons of sites with tweaks and tips, a good start could be dconf and gnome-tweak-tool .. and read a lot about it first [02:13] ebook reader for ubuntu [02:13] software-center [02:14] dconf and gnome tweak tool [02:15] found dconf [02:19] thank you [02:19] i just did a bold move and installed ubuntu on my new surface pro 6 [02:19] wiped out windows 10 [02:20] lol usually when I do that it's not on purpose pi0 [02:20] I'm having weird audio issues. I can't seem to get much sound no matter if I'm using built-in speakers or plugging in speakers. [02:23] well no turning back [02:23] lol i wiped out the backup partition by mistake [02:24] i tried to find it with gparted but its all ext4 now :/ [02:24] poof gone [02:24] how do i check which version if gnome i am running [02:26] and what did yo find with bing/google/duck? [02:26] rfm: yup symlink worked, ty much === operatorsix-9 is now known as MissMarc [02:42] Hello. When installing ubuntu (well actually kubuntu, but the responsible process is the same, right?) can I see the details of what is happening? I can't understand why it takes so long - the 2 GB iso file is on a separate drive, and both the source and target drive to about 150MB/s - why does it take almost 2h to install it? I did check 'download updates while installing', yes, but my internet usage is close to zero [02:42] oh, it's done right now, but for future reference - is this possible to somehow see the details while installing? === Tin__man is now known as Tin_man [02:43] *do about 150 MB/s [02:46] it's via virtualbox but I gave it full power. But it just doesn't appear to be used o.O cpu usage is at 20%, and itostat and iotop say that io isn't used that much either, I really have this feeling that there is sleep(rand()*10000);somewhere in the loop or something :) [02:48] when I *start* it after installing, it works OK, it does use 100% of the cpu and IO and boots very quickly. [02:51] exit [02:53] is there a channel for linux help? [02:53] like linux beggginners or ubuntu help or something like that? [02:53] I vaguelly remember there was one [02:55] JFlash: There is ##linux, yes. === pr3sonic is now known as presonic [03:21] How's it hangin fellas [03:30] dyc3_: seeting up a new ubuntu box for javascript dev. how about you? === murthy is now known as phoenix_firebrd_ [03:39] Hey guys, does anyone know when is the Ubuntu release? [03:40] d6, which release? [03:40] 18.04.2? [03:40] 18.04.2 has already been released officially. [03:40] Really! I am using 18.04... there is an additional.2 [03:41] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2019-February/000238.html [03:42] if you `sudo apt dist-upgrade` (or full-upgrade) your 18.04 will upgrade to 18.04.2 [03:42] and what's the difference? === phoenix_firebrd_ is now known as murthy [03:42] .1. :) [03:44] dyc3_ : I'm in the middle of dong a 18.04.2 setup on a lenovo l440 doing zfs on root, and a bunch of VMs.. goin really smoove.. [03:47] lol [03:47] so many typos lol [03:47] d6, if you want to know the difference, why not open the links & read - already provided (in prior link is) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes which includes a 18.04.2 section; most significant is likely HWE === murthy is now known as phoenix_firebrd_ [03:55] Ubuntu is really fun and the community is doing such an incredible job not to mention it's free.... I do hope the new upgrade brings even more attractive features, has anyone used it yet? [03:57] d6, 18.04.2 is primarily just a new ISO for new installs; normal dist-upgrades of 18.04 will get it automatically, but new installs get HWE (or use 18.10's kernel, 19.04 when released, 19.10 then 20.04.. HWE is enabled where it's disabled by default for older 18.04 installs) - it's just a newer ISO in my opinion, like debian 9.8's recent release... Yes some people love it, most it's a ho-hum. [04:00] JFlash: I've been retheming my set up. I figured it was about time to mix it up === phoenix_firebrd_ is now known as murthy === BrianG61UK_ is now known as BrianG61UK [04:37] hey all. Does Ubuntu 18.04 use Network Manager to manage all network interfaces and options? For example, if I want to set alternative DNS servers for my box, do I edit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf, or should I be putting new files in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d ? [04:37] what is this command doing? [04:38] cd ./genymotion-_.bin -d [04:39] ok looks like it's trying to run the installer passing the current path as an argument to -d [04:39] why would need want to do that? === zeropoin1 is now known as zeropoint [04:54] c3bolla: I would be surprised if 18.04 didn't use NetworkManager [04:55] would systemd report it as a service? [04:57] https://websiteforstudents.com/configure-static-ip-addresses-on-ubuntu-18-04-beta/ [04:57] c3bolla: you might want to look into netplan as above, depending on if you're using ubuntu server or regular desktop. === u-ou is now known as pony [05:05] SwedeMike Only file I have in /etc/netplan is 01-network-manager-all.yaml with this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gKtVS43GYP/ in it [05:06] c3bolla: right, then you should perform all changes in networkmanager [05:06] otherwise they will be overridden? [05:08] I don't know what will take precedence. Seems like the easiest thing to set alternative dns servers as you wanted would be to do this in networkmanager gui [05:11] ok. But is it possible to run the desktop version like a server? since it has all the same components, just with a GUI if you need it? [05:13] c3bolla: yes. [05:16] hi [05:21] SwedeMike and when other howtos reference NetworkManager, are they referring to the GUI? [05:33] how do i upgrade to gnome 3 [05:33] with ubuntu 18.04 [05:42] pi0: hi [05:43] hey [05:46] pi0: do you know If gnome 3 is backported to 18.04? [05:47] i just read it [05:47] how do i upgrade from 18.04 to 18.10 [05:48] pi0: do you want to upgrade from 18.04 to 18.10 or you want to upgrade gnome to version 3 in 18.04 itself? [05:49] at this point minus well upgrade [05:49] 18.10 [05:49] since no back port available at the moment [05:49] pi0: check the section named "Upgrading from Ubuntu 18.04" in this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseNotes [05:50] will do [05:50] pi0: where did you see that there is no backport of gnome 3 for 18.04 [05:52] pi0: I just googled and saw that ubuntu 18.04 already has gnome3? [05:52] c3bolla: you can either use the gui or "nmcli", but it should configure the same thing [05:53] pi0: let me check package version [05:54] thank you [05:55] pi0: ubuntu 18.04 already has gnome 3 [05:55] pi0: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/gnome-session [05:59] oh wow [05:59] i still cant get scaling to work correctly [05:59] i have a surface pro 6 === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius === murthy is now known as phoenix_firebrd_ [06:12] so phoenix_firebrd_ so far its been a journey getting ubuntu on surface pro 6 [06:12] what's the sudo that logs me in as root? [06:12] to work with pen and mouse [06:13] CarlFK, `sudo su` --- but no idea if this is what you're after. [06:13] I thought it was sudo -s, but $HOME is still the user that ran sudo. [06:13] Hi, anyone installed mysql? following instructions here https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/binary-installation.html, below table 2.3 and got stuck here https://pastebin.com/ndU1gL0S ... ? [06:13] guiverc: su is it.. thanks [06:14] CarlFK: I use "sudo -i" for this. [06:14] a bit noobish btw [06:14] ah right - su is the command, not flags. -i is really want I was thinking of [06:16] mot - unless you need mysql for something, I recomend postgresql - but both of them you can install with apt, which I would also recommend [06:18] brb [06:19] mot: sudo apt install postgresql -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HKnmwSw5QW/ [06:23] SwedeMike it looks like I can override any system settings if I place a .yaml file in /etc/netplan/ and run netplan apply [06:25] referencing https://blog.ubuntu.com/?p=75009 -- https://blog.ubuntu.com/?p=82067 -- and https://netplan.io/examples#using-network-manager-as-a-renderer [06:26] Netplan seems quite new [06:28] Is that the preferred way of configuring network settings on a server now? [06:32] c3bolla: it seems to be the default. "preferred" depends on who you ask. (I don't care.. everything mostly works) [06:39] CarlFK is it like 10 ways to skin a cat at this point? [06:42] c3bolla: see also #ubuntu-server for likeminded volunteers [06:43] c3bolla: seems nowadays 18.04 server comes with netplan as the default way to set network settings [06:52] cool, ok. [06:53] CarlFK why do you prefer postgres? [06:55] tes [07:09] c3bolla: um.. smart people recommend it. (and seem to make good points, I just go with it.) and who knows what Oracle will do with mysql. [07:18] to avoid the road taken by Solaris? [07:24] gday [07:32] hi [08:03] Hello. I accidentally my ~/Desktop directory (which was empty and named in my local language). No everything in ~/ is shown on the MATE desktop. I re-created the dir manually, logged out and in again but still see my homefir on my desktop. Any idea how to correct that? [08:04] s/No/Now [08:05] Hello [08:06] Is anyone around at the moment and able to help me put in a keybinding into ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml [08:06] Because where I'm putting it and then reconfiguring openbox it keeps telling me it's junk lines === phoenix_firebrd_ is now known as murthy [08:08] Anyone able to help with that? [08:10] Come one someone must be awake, there's 1300 people in here. [08:10] noy||b: patience. [08:11] lol fair enough [08:12] while you wait you can pastebin the file with your edits so we can see what errors out [08:13] Yep doing that now.. [08:14] I'll paste the rc.xml file and what I'm trying stick in it, and the error I get when I reconfig [08:26] I can't even get the pastebin to give me a link [08:27] which pastebin? [08:28] my desktop scren suddenly went upside down, how to fix? [08:28] ok, here is the lubuntu-rc.xml file I'm trying to put the new keybinding in - http://dpaste.com/3ND4643 [08:28] and.. (one sec) [08:29] Here is the keybinding I'm trying to put in - http://dpaste.com/1CVBFN7 [08:30] I've tried to follow a couple of guides on the forum and apparently that keybinding works but I'm not sure where in the file to put it [08:30] I am using i3wm in ubuntu. When I am trying for save as in firefox nautilus is opening but it looks like the window is zoomed. [08:31] The places I've tried give me an error when I reconfig, I'll run it again and post that too. [08:32] noy||b: put it in after line 472, before the [08:32] pi0, that is good, I never knew ubuntu can be installed on surface [08:32] bbl [08:33] Thanks ducasse, I'll try that right now. [08:40] ducasse: Thanks heaps it works great. [08:40] ducasse: Is that the only place that could have been put? [08:41] noy||b: np. it's an xml file, so you need to follow xml syntax and place things between the ... tags [08:42] ducasse: So if I want to add something to the applications section I'd follow the same rules sort of thing? [08:42] so after but before [08:42] the ducasse: Actually I thought what I was doing there was toggling the un/decorate title bar off and on but it's only toggling a normal maximixe [08:45] This emergency computer I'm using doesn't have a HDMI port and the title bars take up valuable screen space. [08:45] i've no idea what function you'd use to toggle decorations on/off, sorry - you'd need to check the docs [08:45] ducasse: Where would I find those? I'm very new to ubuntu/lubuntu. [08:47] Everything is different. [08:47] noy||b: this looks like a good place to start - http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Contents [08:47] Thanks [08:47] http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions#Undecorate - to be specific. [08:47] noy||b: try ToggleDecorations [08:48] ok [08:48] (instead of ToggleMaximizeFull) [08:49] boom! [08:49] ducasse: You should do this for money. [08:50] ducasse: Thanks Heaps. [08:50] you're welcome :) [09:07] good morning === ___Trullo is now known as _Trullo [09:08] morning [09:08] oh [09:09] Too sloooow! :D [09:09] yep :) [09:16] people actually here wo [09:16] I was wondering if anyone still used irc wow [09:17] ? [09:23] Well the thing is [09:23] people are dying [09:24] people are dying [09:24] people are dying [09:24] people are dying [09:24] people are dying [09:25] the answer is: who cares... :) [09:27] people start dying from the moment they are born [09:27] nbd [09:28] correct! [09:29] The Ubuntu kind of dying.. huh. :P [09:29] (Enough now though.) [09:29] never [09:30] you are totallywrong [09:30] ubuntu growing fast [09:31] Linux isn't dying but the Android thing has shrunk the userbase [09:31] That is to say, try and don't get off the rails of the channel topic. [09:31] need a true opensource phone [09:31] try kde phone [09:32] android is dying too... [09:32] looking for some input on configuring rtpg-www on Bionic Server. I got rtorrent install and confirmed working, used the (very dated) info from here to theoretically get the apache page set up righ https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1376455&p=8710408#post8710408 ... but I can't get a working web page (best I've gotten so far is what looks like a perl script in plain text in my browser) [09:32] kde phone is not mainstream [09:33] aneon, librephone5 google it [09:33] not in market yet [09:33] libreum or something [09:34] yes [09:34] Google Android data pimping is excessive [09:34] opensource phone for now is just a joke... [09:35] even kaios for phone is closed source [09:35] There is #ubuntu-offtopic too btw. [09:35] ok [09:36] shut up now [09:36] I'm guilty though on instigating it further. :P [09:38] :) [09:39] sera_denoir: Sounds like something better suited for #ubuntu-server [09:39] krytarik: ah, thanks ... i was looking on the irc listing on ubuntu's website and i didn't see that listed [10:29] Hi! I have 18.04. I installed Pulseaudio volumecontrol to get my mic running properly. It was fine until I rebooted. After reboot, i have no sound. I did purge and then installed pulseaudio again and also did force reload. Still no sound. That's how it looks on setting https://imgur.com/a/tACO5xj [10:30] it was extrernal mic i wanted to make work that's why i installed pulseaudio volumecontrol [10:31] if something breaks after reboot, it's usually either because the package providing this something (or a package this somethign depends on) was updated, or because you reconfigured something which affects this something since. [10:32] but more likely the latter [10:32] tomreyn, do you know how i can get back to default sound settings? [10:33] also, log files can help analyzing isuues [10:33] no [10:34] you just said obvious things .. why 'answer' at all? :D [10:34] you didnt seem to have reviewed your logs, or didnt share your findings [10:35] i just got my sound back. i removed pulseaudio server which i installed with software manager i guess [10:35] [solved] [10:37] so maybe the hint that you may have broken it by myking changes to your system *may* have put you on the right path after all. [10:38] *making [10:40] Hullo. Please tell me how to open port 2100? [10:40] tomreyn, yes although i have figured it out before coming here.. I just could not unterstand what exactly i have to remove or reinstall. [10:41] Anyway, my next question is about log file. According to wiki, log file is in ~/.config/pulse/client.conf or ~/.pulse/client.conf - but i have no such file or directory [10:42] forester: ports are "open" by having a process listen on them. and if you're talking about a firewall, then you need to give more detail as no firewall is active by default in Ubuntu, it's something you would've explicitly configured. [10:44] oh i got it wrong.. [10:51] Hello [10:52] guys need little help [10:52] !ask | aman_ [10:52] aman_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [10:53] blackflow: There is a game Warzone2100. I am going to host a multiplayer game. And application says "No UPnP device found. Configure your router/firewall to open port 2100!" [10:53] forester: what they mean is that this port needs to be made reachable from the internet. [10:54] when I run command (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:papirus/papirus) and also for any other ad-apt-repository command , it just ask for password and then just do nothing [10:54] so you'll likley need to set up port forwarding of this internet (WAN) port to your computer's (LAN) IP address on the same port. [10:55] aman_: just because it didn't output anything doesn't mean it didn't work. [10:57] forester: which ubuntu version are you running by the way? [10:57] tomreyn: it don't end , it just do nothing . I have to press ctrl+c to stop it. [10:59] i have kde neon 5.15.0 (ubuntu 18.04) [10:59] aman_: i see. maybe there are networking issues. run this in a terminal: " curl https://ppa.launchpad.net " - does it report that "

The document has moved here.

" [10:59] tomreyn: I use debian [11:00] forester: then why are you cross posting to #ubuntu ? [11:00] it is basically ubuntu [11:00] nope [11:00] tomreyn: DEVUAN 2.0 indeed. [11:01] forester: this doesn't explain it either. [11:02] tomreyn: Ubuntu uses Debian testing. Therefore there is no difference. [11:02] forester: please note that we only provide ubuntu support here. [11:02] forester: that's wrong, there is huge difference [11:02] tomreyn: i just ran curl https://ppa.launchpad.net command [11:02] i got this [11:02] [11:02] [11:02] 302 Found [11:02] [11:02] !pastebin | aman_ [11:02] aman_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [11:02] srsly, man.... srsly.... [11:03] blackflow: I used Mint and Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mate and could say exactly there is no difference (except quality). [11:03] forester: there is no netplan in debian to begin with. and you use devuan so that's even worse, no systemd [11:03] forester: there's no use in discussing, please don't bring your non ubuntu questions here in the future. thanks. [11:04] forester: huge difference and indeed, no use in discussing. this is not relevant for #ubuntu. [11:06] aman_: so your system is able to reach https://ppa.launchpad.net fine. the reason i asked you to run this command was to make sure that's the case. [11:06] aman_: you can try running the command to add the ppa again, maybe it wil work out this time. [11:07] i tried again i just do nothing [11:07] aman_: you can try with the --massive-debug option [11:08] tomreyn: what is the full command [11:09] aman_: if you previously ran "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:papirus/papirus", you could now run "sudo add-apt-repository --massive-debug ppa:papirus/papirus" [11:12] aman_: so you just got disconnected, maybe there are indeed network issues? [11:12] just accidentlly pressed ctrl+alt+backspace [11:14] aman_: which desktop are you running there? [11:15] desktop environment? or pc name? [11:15] desktop environment. ctrl-alt-backspace is disabled by default on ubuntu, so i'm wondering whether you run one which enables it. or did you enable it? [11:15] tomreyn: please check this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xYwzKjHzpY/ [11:16] i enabled it [11:17] this trace doesn't tell very much, the debug output might. [11:18] it just satest that at the point you pressed ctrl-c, add-apt-repository was in progress of getting information from ppa.launchpad.net [11:18] *it just states [11:18] so where is the problem you think [11:19] something network related. hard to tell. does "sudo apt-get update" work without warnings or errrors? [11:19] and what about the debug output, is there any? [11:21] sudo apt-get update working perfectly without any warnings or errors. [11:21] how to get debug outpu [11:23] aman_: if you previously ran "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:papirus/papirus", you could now run "sudo add-apt-repository --massive-debug ppa:papirus/papirus" [11:25] tomreyn: I just ran (sudo add-apt-repository --massive-debug ppa:papirus/papirus) and pressed ctrl+c to stop it and this is what i got- https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Scmy7w7cfR/ [11:26] aman_: so there was no output above "^CTraceback (most recent call last):" ? [11:27] nothing above "^CTraceback (most recent call last):" [11:28] okay, then the debug option doesn't help us find out what the issue is. [11:29] aman_: you can work around this for now by manually configuring the PPA. see "adding this ppa to your system" -> "technical details about this ppa" at https://launchpad.net/~papirus/+archive/ubuntu/papirus [11:29] be sure to "choose your uubntu version". [11:29] i downloaded .deb file for that [11:29] well that's not the best approach [11:30] and either won't solve the issue with apt-add-repository you're having. [11:30] from github page of paprius [11:30] you'd better use the ppa [11:30] ppa dont work [11:30] i kow i will not get updartes [11:31] i just explained how you can make it work. [11:34] aman_: actually i didn't explain it enough. so what you can do is this: echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/papirus/papirus/ubuntu bionic main' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/papirus-ppa.list; curl 'https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?fingerprint=on&op=index&search=0x9461999446FAF0DF770BFC9AE58A9D36647CAE7F' | sudo apt-key add - [11:35] this is basically what add-apt-repository would do. [11:35] aman_: actually i didn't explain it enough. so what you can do is this: echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/papirus/papirus/ubuntu bionic main' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/papirus-ppa.list; curl 'https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE58A9D36647CAE7F' | sudo apt-key add - [11:35] ^ fixed, the first one was wrong [11:36] aman_: once oyu did this you have the ppa configured s you can then "apt-get update" and "apt-get install ..." from it. [11:36] s -> so [11:40] tomreyn: i just used that command and it worked [11:40] it is in list after running apt-get update [11:49] tomreyn: thanks for help... [12:02] Amany: very well. i suggest you "sudo apt-get --reinstall install software-properties-common" [12:02] this is the package which provides the add-apt-repository command. [12:19] i am gettingproblem in adding ppa in ubuntu please help [12:20] !details | aman_ [12:20] aman_: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. [12:21] when I add ppa (for example-sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tista/adapta), after getting root password, terminal just dont do anything; nothing printed further [12:26] ubottu: when I add ppa (for example-sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tista/adapta), after getting root password, terminal just dont do anything; nothing is printed further [12:26] aman_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:26] aman_: did you not just receive help for this a few minutes ago? [12:26] usually a good sign I've been told aman_ [12:26] when I add ppa (for example-sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tista/adapta), after getting root password, terminal just dont do anything; nothing printed further [12:26] means there is nothing to complain about aman_ [12:27] why to complain about me? [12:27] i just need help [12:30] aman_: i wrote this when you had already left: i suggest you "sudo apt-get --reinstall install software-properties-common". this is the package which provides the add-apt-repository command. [12:32] SimonNL: what actually happens for aman_ is that the add-apt-repository command gets stuck, doesn't quit, aman needs to ctrl-c. [12:33] i couldn't grasp this from this explanation either, the first time. [12:34] tomreyn: just used that command reinstalled successfuly, but ppa adding not working . Should i logout or restart? [12:34] aman_: i doubt either will make a difference [12:34] Oh... [12:34] ok meet you after restart. [12:35] remarkable [12:35] aman_: can you install "pastebinit" and run this: cat /etc/os-release /proc/version /proc/cmdline | pastebinit [12:35] oh gone [12:38] Hello - philosophical question I have now - why the very thing ubuntu does after installation (well, at least kubuntu) is upgrading things, with 99% CPU and io usage? It clearly isn't a cool experience for ppl who want to try a linux for the first time.... for them it's just slow as hell. Can't it be delayed or ioniced & niced? [12:38] tomreyn:tried after restart, didn't worked. [12:39] aman_: so... as i predicted. can you install "pastebinit" and run this: cat /etc/os-release /proc/version /proc/cmdline | pastebinit [12:39] konrados: wait until you start the calculator. a snap that takes 10+ seconds to boot up. anyway, that's more suitable to #ubuntu-discuss [12:39] konrados: 99% CPU usage is not the default experience there, for most people it's hardly noticable, i'd think. [12:40] s/most/those with current hardware/ [12:40] blackflow, ok, trying calculator :) [12:40] it's noticeable even on a not-so-weak i5-4460 with SSD disk and a buncha gigs of RAM [12:40] that ^ [12:41] tomreyn: https://pastebin.com/qt2YXwNK [12:41] My current machine maybe isn't the most powerful on the planet, I would say it's just a bit below average, but not too much [12:42] aman_: this channel only support official ubuntu releases. [12:42] And it indeed takes only about 10 minutes, fine, but what I'm saying is that those are very important 10 minutes :) Anyway, I have a more specific question now :) [12:42] konrados: consequence of modern, cover-as-many-use-cases-as-possible desktop linux setups. and ubuntu doesn't help at all with default snaps. but, again, this is really more suitable to #ubuntu-discuss [12:43] yes yes, ok, I'm done with this one :) [12:43] tomreyn:ok thanks I will talk will kdeneon [12:44] aman_: and you knew this before. [12:44] i told before that i have kde neon [12:45] oooh, I also thought we can talk about any ubuntu flavor here :( As soon as the problem seems to be more generic, not distro-specific. So TIL :) [12:45] Howdy folks [12:46] aman_: right, so our both's mistake there. [12:46] konrados: any official flavour is fine [12:46] !flavours [12:46] Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours [12:46] ah, ok, got it! Thanks. === aman_ is now known as marok === dhill is now known as Guest77326 [13:13]
