[00:34] <terorie> Hey, I'd like to gvfs mount my disks on 18.10 over CLI. Just like mounting disks in Dolphin. However, gio mount aborts with "Not authorized to perform operation" :(
[00:34] <terorie> I did some research and it hinted me at PolicyKit, but I honestly have no idea what to do
[00:34] <terorie> Does anyone have an idea?
[00:35] <terorie> Also, it's SSH, with no X server running if that matters
[00:45] <terorie> Solution was to use udisksctl instead of gvfs! Works now, udisksctl mount -b /dev/sde1

[05:56] <lordievader> Good morning
[07:22] <OficineRobotica> is there a way of making my laptop apply the same performance settings when operating on battery as when in charge? i mean that temporarly. there is a big performance diference when editing videos when plaiyng the kdenlive timeline
[08:39] <saam> x
[09:32] <mparillo> I assume you have tried System Settings > Power Management > Energy Saving > On Battery tab?
[09:33] <krytarik> They've timed out about 1.5 hours ago.
[17:19] <nsnzero> well wishes to everyone
[17:41] <azx> I want to add a repository to my list, i am going to modify /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:41] <azx> and add the repo at the bottom
[17:41] <azx> is this a good idea?
[17:42] <azx> i'm using kubuntu 18.04, how can i learn the codeword used for this release?
[17:42] <azx> 'artful', 'zesty', 'yakkety', 'xenial', 'trusty', 'stretch', 'jessie', or 'wheezy'
[17:43] <diogenes_> azx, i'd say a PPA would be more sefa.
[17:43] <azx> the reason i am adding a repository is so that i may sudo apt-get update and get new versions of this software, as opposed to downloading the .deb and manually upgrading it every time
[17:44] <azx> i'm trying to become proficient in linux for every day use, and am not sure if i'm doing things correctly
[17:45] <azx> PPA? from ubuntu
[17:45] <azx> i'm trying to get the latest virtualbox software and have it update
[17:45] <diogenes_> yes PPA.
[17:45] <azx> Thanks, will look into PPA
[17:45] <azx> :D
[17:45] <azx> if i can recall correctly, that is an official ubuntu repository ?
[17:46] <azx> please excuse my ignorance
[17:46] <diogenes_> there are a lot of PPAs
[17:58] <azx> So if i understand correctly, PPAs are repositories maintained by maintainers, through launchpad
[17:58] <azx> and i'm sure there is some level of validation that goes into a PPA, however a repository can be anything
[18:00] <azx> And kubuntu 18.04 would be 'bionic'
[18:32] <azx> I've found a 3rd party PPA for virtualbox https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/virtualbox.org_contrib?dist=bionic
[18:33] <diogenes_> very good.
[18:35] <azx> after setting up key and repo, sudo apt-get update gives me this error: N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'non-free/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian bionic InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'
[18:37] <azx> but i don't have 32bit os installed
[18:38] <azx> so why is it trying to grab that file?
[19:58] <valorie> azx: sounds like a poorly set-up PPA
[19:59] <valorie> one of the beauties of using PPAs is that you can purge them
[19:59] <valorie> !ppa-purge
[19:59] <valorie> with ppa-purge
[19:59] <valorie> !info virtualbox
[20:00] <valorie> so you need newer than Version 5.2.18? azx
[20:36] <azx> ubottu: how can i find out the exact name of the <repository-name>/<subdirectory>
[20:36] <azx> valorie:
[20:37] <azx> damn I pingd a bot
[20:38] <azx> i also have keys for the ppa how can i remove them
[20:38] <azx> do the keys just verify the authenticity of the package/
[20:40] <azx> sudo ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[20:40] <azx> thanks guys! i'm learning more and more about managing my kubuntu :)
[20:42] <azx> what's the difference between sudo rm -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/PPA_Name.list and ppa-purge ppa: aside from a shorter command and remembering the path name?
[20:43] <azx> Ah, i see it removes the packages associated with the ppa as well
[20:43] <valorie> azx: yes, the keys just verify
[20:43] <valorie> no need to remove them
[20:43] <valorie> ubottu is a bot, but I'm a human woman
[20:43] <valorie> :-)
[20:43]  * valorie will not comment on that
[20:54] <azx> Thanks!
[20:54] <azx> still getting same issue as 3rd party ppa: N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'contrib/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian bionic InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'
[20:55] <azx> i wonder why it's trying to grab i386 :/
[20:55] <azx> and i don't think bionic is mentioned in it's supported dist
[20:56] <azx> oo apparently i can [arch=amd64]
[20:57] <azx> ROOT CAUSE : Google dropped support for 32-bit Chrome on Linux triggering an error when updating apt in 64-bit systems (with multi arch enabled) ... details here :
[20:57] <azx> dang
[20:58] <azx> chrome borked my system
[20:59] <azx> but i have nothing in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[20:59] <azx> this is the solution i have found: https://askubuntu.com/questions/741410/skipping-acquire-of-configured-file-main-binary-i386-packages-as-repository-x
[21:01] <azx> the solution is to modify /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list but my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory is empty
