[00:15] I want to make a wallpaper out of an image here: https://linux.pictures/wallpaper . Can someone help me how to do this? "No such file or directory". [00:22] hello? [00:22] anyone there? [00:23] can anyone hear *see* me? [00:23] !ask | Amishparadis [00:23] Amishparadis: 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 [00:23] are you a bot? [00:24] elite did you save the image and the bashscript and read the page? [00:24] i am a noob. bye! [00:28] is it possible to update to unicode 11.0 on ubuntu 16.04? [00:29] i've tried googling and stuff.. i don't really know what would be involved.. obviously updating ubuntu would fix it.. but maybe there's a quick fix [00:30] snadge: The only supported way to get the updated characters is to upgrade the operating system [00:30] how about an unsupported way? ;) [00:30] if its just one or two packages that i could get from a ppa.. or by backporting [00:31] ie.. something i could potentially reverse if it all goes wrong [00:31] snadge: Unicode characters require an entire subsystem to be upgraded that would make your computer unstable. [00:31] is it just pango? .. or does it touch other parts as well [00:33] ahh it looks ike glibc too [00:34] thats pretty much game over [00:37] snadge: Fonts are integrated deep with in the system. they are more than just a way to display text in different formats. They are, in themselves, programs. The kernel and other applications use these font file programs to display the desired text. They are compiled to work together. upgrading to the next version of unicode requires an expansion of the supported character set. [00:40] snadge: That is why you're not seeing a straightforward way to upgrade to Unicode 11... it's because supporting such an endever is requires rebuilding the entire OS. That's why the supported method is to upgarde to the latest version of Ubuntu. Either 18.04 LTS release or 18.10 regular release. [00:42] that is a shame.. i would love to use 18.04 LTS on my work pc, but its unfortunately not on the approved OS list within the company [00:45] snadge: After nearly two decades in the IT industry, I've learned one valuable thing. Bells and whistles aren't going to impress the boss if you can't get your work done. I use my work computer for work only. And buy my own computers for experimentation. [00:45] oh absolutely.. i've made my choice and im comitted to it now.. ubuntu 16.04 was on that list, so I went with it [00:46] and its supported until april 2021 === ErichEickmeyer is now known as Eickmeyer === Netham46 is now known as netham45 === sunrunner20_ is now known as sunrunner20 === sonOfRa_ is now known as sonOfRa === ramon_g_ is now known as ramon_g === pavithra__ is now known as pavithra_ === sipior_ is now known as sipior === frecklealex_ is now known as frecklealex === NickG365_ is now known as NickG365 === palra_ is now known as palra === peltre_ is now known as peltre [01:17] anywhere to get 19.04 right now [01:17] since its officially out in a few hours [01:29] Emcy: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ I do expect. [01:35] i just went there and went into the 19.04 folder and was disappointed .. do we expect the release to be any different to the current live build? [01:47] snadge: Discussion about the next version can be found in #ubuntu+1 [02:04] Does GNOME have a setting so that newly spawned windows and dialogs don't automatically steal focus? [02:15] yo [02:16] Hi [02:16] So I just upgraded to 18.01 [02:16] Wondering how to set the terminal window to transparent. [02:17] don't seem to see any relevant options in the preferences, unless I'm blind. [02:54] MrPocketz, do you mean 18.10?

[04:03] i mean annoying [04:04] Emcy: does it work when you open a terminal and type: setxkbmap us ? [04:04] or the same command with uk? [04:04] no idea, i dislike the uk keyboard and prefer the original us one [04:04] being in switzerland, and being familiar with other languages like french, german, turkish, polish... [04:05] and i only want US keyboard (apple, preferably), and input system (macOS/iOS) then any other unix, last windows [04:05] and yes i learnt 10 finger typing, and i reach 300keys/min [04:06] Hi [04:06] So... A fresh install of kubuntu, after the 'booting in blind mode' message, displays a flashing kubuntu logo -- and if you press a key during this time, you get the terminal [04:07] Scottbert: nvidia card? [04:07] However, after updating packages, this is no longer the case -- and if for any reason Plasma won't start, then pressing ctrl+alt+Fwhatever just gets you grub's blind mode message [04:07] Yes [04:07] nouveau driver or nvidia? [04:07] what says lspci |grep VGA ? [04:07] The reccomended one (nvidia-390 or something) [04:07] tried 418 from nvidia directly? [04:08] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] (rev a2) [04:08] i have no idea why canonical/ubuntu ships that old stuff. ugh and why you use such an old videocard [04:08] try the nvidia-340 driver [04:08] does the /var/log/X*log say something your card is too old for 390 driver? [04:09] there is no 418 -- there's 340.107, nvidia-driver-390, and noveau [04:09] And if I had money for a new system I would never have ended up on linux :( [04:10] I am liking how fast and snappy it is though [04:10] Scottbert: sure there is 418, just not in the ubuntu repositories [04:10] Oh. How do I get it? [04:11] tarzeau: probably because not everyone can plop down hundreds of dollars on a new video card. Unless you are trying to play new AAA games, no reason to replace that card. [04:11] cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cuda.list [04:11] deb http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64 / [04:11] Mead: no idea what AAA is, but we use the cards (@work) for GPU computing with CUDA (the only game i like is nethack, works with a 80x25 terminal) [04:12] Scottbert: you create that file with that content, apt-get update, apt-get install cuda-10-1 (and it'll install ALL) [04:12] Scottbert: but really check on the nvidia webpage or with the logfile i gave a hint with if your card is supported [04:13] Mead: hundreds? 1080/2080 ti (11 gb mem) are ~1000, the v100 titan 10000 (32gb mem) [04:13] AAA games (pronounced "triple A) are like the cutting edge make your GPU cry type games, just released by a major software company [04:13] and they work on linux?

[04:13] * tarzeau still likes his old ps1 with wipeout1..3 (guess i'm getting old) [04:14] How do I check that my card is still supported? [04:15] Scottbert: Per: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/145182/en-us you do want the 418 version driver. [04:15] tarzeau: Valve is trying to entice other game companies to release them for linux, but SteamOS sorta is hanging on by a thread [04:15] ahhh they also mention aaa games: http://itvision.altervista.org/why.linux.is.not.ready.for.the.desktop.current.html [04:17] While these update... how do I fix the grub 'booting in blind mode' thing? [04:18] Scottbert: I expect that installing the proprietary driver will fix that. [04:19] OK here goes === zapx is now known as zapx_ === zapx_ is now known as zapx [04:22] I still get the blind mode message, but my terminal is back [04:22] I freaking LOVE how fast Linux boots, how does Windows manage to be so slow?

[05:37] jcb2016: drivers normally get automatic chosen by ubuntu as 'best' case [05:37] oh ok [05:38] jcb2016: but some devices might need a better driver, you need to install [05:38] jcb2016: wich card do you have? [05:38] jcb2016, if you have nvidia just type driver manager or else it uses the crappy open source drivers for nvidia [05:40] VGA compatible controller [300]: Advanced Mircro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Kabini [Radeon HD 8240 / R3 Series] [1002:9838] [05:41] oh yeah ubuntu will use the opensource drivers for amd thats what you want cause theyre good for amd [05:41] jcb2016: if it needs radeon driver, you probably will be good, if yourcard needs amgdpu you might need a more recent solution === lotuspsychje__ is now known as lotuspsychje [05:43] how can i tell if i have the latest drivers for my video card installed? [05:45] jcb2016: sudo lshw -C video, it will show driver behind driver= [05:45] jcb2016: but as we said, now on a liveusb you are not fully up to date [05:46] ill install it [05:46] be bak tomorrowow thanks [05:54] guys im back so im going to install ubuntu but the only connection i have is my iphone tethered to my computer. in the installer can i switch to a terminal window and install the boradcom for my wifi then go back to the istaller and install from there? [05:55] jcb2016: we already discussed this yesterday right [05:55] lotuspsychje, i don't remember had a lot of stuff going on. [05:55] can probably activate using the 'additional drivers' submenu in the software & updates program [05:55] jcb2016: you need to install ubuntu 'offline' then you can install broadcom after the install [05:56] jcb2016: the broadcom driver is located on your install medium under /pool [05:56] lotuspsychje, i had no internet connectino yesteray if i recall [05:56] i have terethered connectino now so i have some kinda of internet [05:56] What time is 19.04 getting released? :D [05:57] you just delayed it another 30mins :( [05:58] Damn :c [05:59] !party | oilboi [05:59] oilboi: Please remember that #ubuntu, #kubuntu, #xubuntu, #edubuntu, and #lubuntu are support channels.

I have downloaded a Ubuntu and put it on a usb, but could also have it on the hd, and I want the option to switch to either one or the other before booting === carles is now known as carlesoriol [06:49] any way to install a bootloader, I should have said === ryu0 is now known as ryuo [06:52] No help for me, for a bootloader in a windows system? [07:03] I'll try again.... is there any way to install a bootloader in windows 8, that will give me options to boot up to a Ubuntu on a usb, or on the hd? [07:08] What about Grub2Win from Source Forge? Would that work? [07:08] the standard ubuntu installer will setup grub (the ubuntu bootloaded) to allow selection of ubuntu or windows if ubuntu is installed onto a disk with a windows partition. [07:09] hi, i would like to backup some folder to a NAS I have, what do you suggest me? [07:10] zapx, if I download a ubunto onto my win8 computer, I will still not initially have a boot option, will I? I will still have to do complex things on computer startup, getting into bios, right? [07:11] I have a problem printing, and I am unable to formulate it dstinctly enough to be able to find any advise on the bug tracker or on the web. Maybe someone here can help... When I print a document, the Print dialog shows up (obviously). Now, I select a range of pages to print (2,4,6,8 in this case, to be able to print double sided). Next, I select a number of copies (25), and I de-select 'Collate' (because I want to print all pages 2 first [07:11] , then 4, etc. This makes flipping the stack easier). Now, I click 'Print', but only 1 copy gets printed for each page. [07:12] eugenio_: Ubuntu has a 'Backups' program built in. If you create a share on your NAS that can be reached through Samba ('Windows Share'), you can select that as a backup target. [07:12] There, you can also setup regular backup intervals. [07:12] When I boot my PC gives me a screen where I can select ubuntu (default) or windows to boot. No BIOS stuff needed. [07:13] zapx yeah that is what I am looking for. How did you organise that? [07:13] koalaaa: so you want to dual boot? [07:14] ryuo I guess you could call it that [07:14] koalaaa: unfortunately that's usually easiest to do that when you haven't yet installed windows. [07:14] What about Grub2Win from Source Forge? [07:15] If I only print one page, I also need to turn on 'Collate' to get the number of copies that I need. [07:15] ryuo the machine already has win8 on it [07:15] It's a few years since I did the ubuntu install so can remember exactly what I did. From memory started windows shrunk the windows partition using windows tool (win 10). Shutdown windows booted ubuntu disto and installed (into now spare partition), somewhere it asked me if I wanted to keep windows and allow booting to it said yes and that was it. [07:15] koalaaa: that won't solve the main issue of having them installed side by side. [07:16] koalaaa: i usually preallocate the disk format i need for dual booting if i am going to do it at all. === varesa_ is now known as varesa [07:16] koalaaa: you'll need to shrink the windows partition if you don't have another drive installed in the machine. [07:16] I did follow a article I found. Google around for one. But it was all easy. [07:17] koalaaa: otherwise you could install to another drive and not need to mess with this part. [07:17] ryuo I also have the ubuntu on a usb [07:17] that's not a replacement for a permanent install. [07:18] koalaaa: anyway, you need to make room for at least one partition for Linux to use. [07:18] ryuo so you would recommend put the ubuntu system on the hd? I think it's already there, and then I copied it to the usb [07:19] uh... why are you asking about this if it's already installed? [07:19] i assume you mean the ISO. [07:19] ryuo, what I mean, is that I downloaded a ubuntu program to my windows puter. [07:20] ok... [07:20] I also copied it across to a usb [07:20] I have not done anything to the ubuntu download [07:20] and don't know how to boot into it, other than messing with stuff at startup [07:20] koalaaa: are you familiar with the normal install process? [07:21] ryuo I followed the ubuntu instructions from their site [07:21] well, the normal process is to install Ubuntu over whatever is there. [07:22] there's no point in booting ubuntu yet. [07:22] you need to find a way to make room for it first. [07:22] that's usually done by resizing the main windows partition. [07:22] ryuo I thought it would do that for itself [07:23] No, i don't believe it does. if it does, then that's new. [07:23] but it does detect the presence of windows partitions. [07:24] you normally don't need something like grub2win [07:24] ubuntu will setup a bootloader during install. [07:24] oh? [07:25] so, maybe I should just allow ubuntu to install itself, on my win8 puter? [07:25] yes. it's capable of detecting windows partitions. Ubuntu's grub2 takes over from the windows one and will enable dual botting. [07:25] Uh... [07:25] not without precautions. [07:25] Remember what I said about what it does by default? [07:25] hm. [07:26] you said, I think, that Ubunto will install over stuff that's already there [07:26] that's the default. [07:26] normally it wipes out the other partitions and overwrites them. that means no more windows install. [07:26] so that could wipe out some of the windows stuff that's already there? [07:26] definitely, if it's mismanaged. [07:27] KelebekUsr2, is a spam bot [07:27] well I don't want that [07:27] Can someone please ban him [07:27] ? [07:28] koalaaa: any important on the windows partition? [07:28] ryuo yes lots [07:28] ok.. [07:28] but there's still heaps of room [07:28] I would guess I'm using less than a quarter of my hd [07:28] you'll need to find a guide on shrinking the C partition. [07:29] https://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-1404-dual-boot-mode-windows-8-81-uefi/ [07:29] koalaaa. It's not hard but as ryuo says it can destroy so backup first and a quick search will find lots of articles on how to do it. [07:29] if you already have spare space that makes it a lot easier. [07:29] koalaaa: it's doable, but i always prefer to install windows to a preallocated partitioning scheme to avoid this mess. [07:31] koalaaa: basically, follow the instructions for shrinking C from windows 8 [07:31] koalaaa: then boot Ubuntu. [07:32] you should be able to create a root partition from the vacant space. [07:32] yep agree. Pre shrink/partition and write down what all the partitions are so you know what is what when installing. [07:32] then you can install ubuntu to that. [07:32] koalaaa: 8G is enough for root, but you should probably do at least 20G for future expansion. [07:34] this bot just messaged me some spam link, please ban KelebekUsr2 from this channel - screenshot here: https://cloud.demyx.com/s/Apj53KyBqsaL2qK [07:35] that won't solve the problem. [07:36] isnt 19.04 supposed to be released today? [07:36] yes [07:36] nice, i just checcked cdimage.ubuntu.com but only the beta is up as of now [07:37] cim209: set your user mode to +R to block spam bots. [07:37] ryuo I already have put the ubuntu on a usb with 16 gb capacity [07:37] Is there a way of booting into that? [07:37] koalaaa: yes... that's not relevant to the root partition size. [07:38] koalaaa: the USB is for booting the live cd which can then install ubuntu. [07:38] ryuo so you cannot just run Ubuntu from the USB? [07:39] like, boot into the usb? [07:39] you should be able to boot the USB, but it's not the actual Ubuntu environment. it's a simulation of it. nothing you do in it will be saved. [07:40] oh phooey [07:40] you can then install Ubuntu from it. [07:40] but before that i said you need to make room for a root partition. [07:40] install ubunto from the USB into the computer? [07:40] yes.. it's the same way that windows installer works. [07:41] you boot up an environment that exists primarily to install the real OS. [07:42] and after downloading ubuntu from their site, when you double click on the executive file, isn't there an option so that the install does it's own partitioning? [07:42] what? ubuntu normally comes as an ISO... what executable? [07:43] ryuo the file you download from the Ubuntu site. Isn't that an executable file? That you click on, to activate? [07:43] koalaaa: link? [07:43] I forget quite how I did that [07:44] https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?version=18.04.2&architecture=amd64 [07:44] gives me an ISO. [07:45] koalaaa: i've already told you what you need to do. if you're not going to take the first step, then i can't help you further. [07:46] koalaaa: if dual booting seems too hard, perhaps you should try installing in VirtualBox. [07:47] ChristW, I used it yesterday, but it is not clear how does it work. It seems that only a storage location can be set. If I would set a destionation folder on NAS for each folder I can't. Moreover, the folder I have already backupped presents now many files named 'duplicity-full.xxxx.gpg What are they? [07:47] koalaaa Yes the ubuntu installed has a partitioning tool but you can't use it to "shrink" i.e. retain the data in a partition. If you don't need to "shrink" the windows partition. i.e. you already have spare space on the disk then you can create new partitions in the ubuntu installer. === Leion1 is now known as Leion [07:49] ryuo I believe I did download ubuntu from that site https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?version=18.04.2&architecture=amd64 [07:50] Hi I am using ubuntu 18 and it's my workstation [07:50] I tried to use "sudo su -" [07:50] koalaaa: then you have an ISO, not an EXE most likely.

[07:59] ducasse: I can make it an ubuntu issue [07:59] ChristW, is there other solutions? [08:03] eugenio_: https://www.howtogeek.com/108869/how-to-back-up-ubuntu-the-easy-way-with-dj-dup/ might help you to see what you can and cannot do with Deja Dup (the 'Backups' program). [08:14] any news about the 19.04 release [08:15] qwebirc96013: not there yet https://www.ubuntu.com/#download [08:15] qwebirc96013: wrong time, wait until 2100 UTC: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DiscoDingo/ReleaseSchedule [08:15] ah wait that's for freezes [08:16] qwebirc96013: ask in #ubuntu+1 [08:16] qwebirc96013, downloading 19.04 studio atm === mquin_ is now known as mquin === Mage is now known as Guest1025 [08:28] ChristW, this is clearer, thanks for this suggestion. However, I don't find 'Revert to previous version' and 'restore missing files' among the nautilus option....I presume I'm using a different ubuntu desktop, right? [08:32] eugenio_: When I right-click a file in Nautilus, I do get 'Revert to previous version...', but I can't find 'Restore missing files' either. Looks like those instructions are a bit out-dated.... [08:33] And I don't run Nautilus as the default file browser these days, so I had to run it manually. But then, I got the 'Revert...' option (but, like I said, not the 'restore missing files' option. [08:35] ChristW, I have not 'Revert..' on right click === pulkit25_ is now known as pulkit25 [08:35] ChristW, I'm using Files 3.26.4, which should be the same of Nautilus, isn't it? [08:35] eugenio_: I don't know why not. Are you able to restore an individual file (or folder) using the 'Backups' program? [08:37] I don't know if they are the same. Else, click on the 'Applications' icon (or Alt-F2, I think...) and type 'Nau'. It should show (as a suggestion) "nautilus --new-window". [08:37] Try with that one. [08:38] ChristW, no, I only can choose if restore the backup as whole in the same locations or in specified by me locations [08:39] And if you run Nautilus manually? [08:40] manually Files program opens [08:42] Are there any informations on what time today the new 19.04 images will be published? Where could I check that? [08:43] !isitout [08:43] no, not yet out. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DiscoDingo/ReleaseSchedule [08:45] ChristW, I tried both your suggestions (Alt-F2 type Nau... new window and launch Nautilus manually) both times a new window of 'Files' was open [08:45] of course 'Revert ...' doesn't appear [08:55] If I have sudo, how do I change the password for another user who has forgotten their password? [08:57] nvm, found it. [09:02] man passwd [09:07] 1904 is out! http://releases.ubuntu.com/19.04/ === El_Jochos62 is now known as El_Jochos [09:20] so where's the Ubuntu launch party? [09:21] ht3k: #ubuntu-release-party [09:22] tyvm! I had typed it without the dashes haha [09:31] Ubuntu 19.04 Release party at TG LAN in Norway later tonight [09:35] ubuntu 19.04 torrent link released [09:35] !isitoutyet [09:35] no, not yet out. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DiscoDingo/ReleaseSchedule [09:42] ryahi_skaprinav, link? [09:45] ChunkzZ: http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ [09:52] Hi, basic question. So Ubuntu Software has darktable in it, a photo processor. It is an older version than the website indicates. There are later packages available but there's more work putting them together. There are even Unstable versions. When does a project become stable? When would Ubuntu Software pick up a newer version? [09:56] Archlinux recommend... [09:57] EastCharlie: yes but only if you know how to use commandline [09:57] ryahi_skaprinav, link doesn't work... [09:58] ChunkzZ: I'm downloading right now. [09:59] ChunkzZ: http://releases.ubuntu.com/19.04/ [10:00] ryahi_skaprinav, I'll wait for the announcement :P [10:00] ChunkzZ: As you wish [10:00] ryahi_skaprinav, there might be a change... lol [10:03] How do I find out which libraries are missing in steam? The latest update from today just broke it and told me that some 32 libs are missing, but I failed to note down which. [10:03] I run Ubuntu 16.04 [10:03] Before the update, it worked fine. [10:04] /msg alis LIST [10:05] Cedara: run "sudo apt --fix-broken install steam" === captain_fixerpc1 is now known as captainfixerpc14 [10:10] !latest | filifunky [10:10] filifunky: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [10:10] filifunky, usually a release starts by copying most packages from debian testing [10:11] filifunky: there's a darktable snap. `snap info darktable` will give you info on available versions and channels. current stable is 2.6.2 [10:11] filifunky, sometimes you can install a package meant for a newer ubuntu release, or even a debian release, but YMMV. [10:12] jStefan: we don't recommend doing that here [10:13] well, I said YMMV, it's an option, not a recommendation [10:13] filifunky: however, I must warn you to check who the "vendor" for the snap is, and wheter you'd trust them. from what I see, it's not a "verified" snapcraft.io provider. [10:14] jStefan: sounded like a sanctioned advice. [10:14] blackflow, it just sucks that snaps are sandboxed but understand the security benefit [10:15] filifunky: sucks how? that's a good thing. [10:16] blackflow -- I can't access my photos on my hard drive. They aren't stored on my booting hard drive ssd. [10:18] you can use snap connect etc to work around that [10:18] filifunky: I don't know which interfaces that snap enables/needs, but if it's confined to access your ~/ then surely you can (bind) mount or symlink there, the actual photo storage? [10:18] preventing random access to random paths is ultimately a good thing. security and convenience are on the opposite side of usability spectrum. [10:18] abusing the removeable-media interface [10:19] ohhhhhh, I'll have to look at that snap connect MrElendig [10:19] MrElendig what do you mean abusing? [10:19] blackflow I'll have to look into those sometime [10:19] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1643706 [10:19] Launchpad bug 1643706 in snapd (Ubuntu) "snap apps need to be able to browse outside of user $HOME dir. for Desktop installs" [Undecided,Fix released] [10:20] but yea, this is one of the really silly things of snap [10:20] and there isn't really a good reason for the hardcoded /home and /media limitation [10:21] Thanks, @ryhadi_skaprinav - I shall try that. [10:23] @ryhadi_skaprinav that didn't work [10:23] well I beg to differ, access to random pahts goes against the idea of sandboxing snaps which are designed to be uploadable by anyone with no supervision or audit by any "official". I agree that there could be more options added to explicitly enable specific paths. [10:24] (a bit offtopic here though, we can continue in #ubuntu-discuss if you want) [10:25] blackflow: what is silly is the hardcoded limit of just those two paths, not that it doesn't allow access to arbitary non-configured paths. There isn't really any good arguments for not supporting a configurable whitelist [10:25] agreed. [10:26] I suppose those two are defaults because users who don't plug in their drives (which appear under /media) but have manual (NFS, SMB, ...) mounts elsewhere, could easily just bind into ~/ [10:28] The output from the terminal tells me it's the newest version of steam [10:28] So it didn't do anything. [10:29] running steam-native or -runtime? [10:30] I put in the >steam command and this is the result [10:30] Cedara: btw what update exactly? the apt package is just a launcher, so did the update come from Steam? [10:30] yes @blackflow [10:31] try starting steam-native [10:31] and this is the error message: internal error: /home/mkusch/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/setup.sh is missing, this runtime is invalid or corrupted [10:31] could also mv ~/.steam and try again [10:33] that would remove all local installations tho'. one of reasons why I always configure a separate path for local storage, ability to rm and reinstall in case of problems. [10:36] I'd rather not move anything where I have no idea why I'm doing that. [10:36] and it's -runtime, @MrElendig [10:40] it will make it redownload the runtime [10:41] wait what? [10:45] Howdy all [10:47] Cedara: see comment 2 here: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/530645446305521092/ it is for windows, but structure of the .steam dir should be pretty much the same. the idea is to keep the installed steamapps which is a dir you can really just move around, but that doesn't cover savegames for games that don't use the steam cloud. [10:47] Cedara: so technically you could be able to mv ~/.steam to something else, then reinstall steam, then mv back steamapps and then on a per-case basis recover any savegames that need to be recovered [10:49] Ah, I see. [10:49] Ok. [10:50]
