xubuntu64wI've done a few things.  Mostly tty ttl port and fix broken etc. apt upgrade apt update.  It says I have 9xx updates but they don't seem to update?15:24
tomreynxubuntu64w: ok, please type "tomreyn" when responding after more than a minute so i won't miss your reply. which upgrade did you do? if you don't know, please switch to a terminal, login and run "lsb_release -ds".15:25
tomreyn!tty15:25
ubottuTo get to the TTY terminals 3-6, use the keystroke Ctrl + Alt + F3-F6 respectively. Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you back to your graphical login (Ctrl-Alt-F7 on 16.04). To change TTY resolution, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution15:25

tomreyn"ttl"?15:27
xubuntu64wputty15:27
tomreynso logged in via ssh remotely, ok15:27
xubuntu64wsorry, this is all a bit new to me.   Yes, SSH15:27
tomreyndoes the system seem to have internet access still? ping -c2 1.1.1.1    reports what o the last line of output?15:28
tomreynactually last but one line, the one with 2 packets transmitted...15:28
xubuntu64wlol, syasy for more ping see details.15:29
tomreynwhat happens when you type:   echo test | nc termbin.com 999915:29
tomreyndoes it return a http address?15:29
xubuntu64wwoops dyslexic15:29
xubuntu64w0% loss two received15:30
tomreynokay so you have internet access. what about the    echo.... thing?15:31
xubuntu64wtomreyn checkign echo15:31
xubuntu64wtomreyn  Hmm. echo test | nc termbin.com 9999 temp failure name resultion15:33
tomreynxubuntu64w:    echo test | nc 5.39.93.71 999915:35
xubuntu64wtomreyn What about the 905 updates immediately available?  What command will install them?15:35
tomreynnone if your system is unable to resolve names15:36
tomreyni'm trying to enable yu to share some command output with me on the internet15:36
tomreynonce that's done (we're very close) we can look into getting a better understanding why the updates can't be installed15:37
tomreynit will be much easier for me to understand what's failing then15:37
xubuntu64w4wpf?15:38

Noboru55Hello everybody, i am in doubt, for good computers, like 8gb ram, core i5, is better to install Ubuntu? or Xubuntu continue to be the best option?15:57
tomreynxubuntu64w: here's a newer download which claims to be ubuntu (but it is not, it's something that once was ubuntu, modified to actually work on this hardware) http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/OrangePi3/2019-01-23/orangepi3_82ad209229e957e13fa953491c.html15:57
tomreynother options for this hardware http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/15:58
tomreynNoboru55: either works you choose.15:58
xubuntu64wTomreyn Got ya. OKay. The factory OS is  Sigh.  8-(15:59
Noboru55tomreyn really? i like more the xfce...15:59
tomreynNoboru55: yes, it's really your choice15:59
Noboru55tomreyn asking because i want to uninstall the windows in my wife's laptop, for while she doesnt like, just waiting for some virus...16:00
tomreynxubuntu64w: in case this is orange pi zero, here's another canonical product you can install there https://ubuntu.com/download/iot/orange-pi-zero16:00
tomreynubuntu core is not the same as ubuntu server or ubuntu desktop, though16:00
Noboru55couz in linux i never use the software to clean virus16:00
xubuntu64wThis is OrangePi PC216:01
xubuntu64wTomreyn This is OrangePi PC216:01
Noboru55tomreyn thank you!16:01
tomreynxubuntu64w: i have no first hand experience with this device. you may be able to find some buntu like pre-installed images which can work on this platform. it's probably an armhf.16:03
tomreynthere's #ubuntu-arm for such devices16:04
tomreynbut it's not very busy16:04
Noboru55tomreyn ah, a question, only for my curious, why the live usb works fine and the o.s installed in usb do not works good ? do u know ?16:04
xubuntu64wtomreyn  Thanks for the assistance.  Yes it is armv7 I believe.  It's a SBC SOC Development board.16:05
xubuntu64wtomreyn  W@hen you stated it was not a standard Ubuntu installation, was that in reference to the hardware or the Kernel?  I'm inclined, you meant the hardware.16:15
tomreynxubuntu64w: standard ubuntu only supports the amd64 architecture. there are ports for other architectures, but only community support for these.16:24
tomreynon ARM platforms you face two issues: kernels often require hardware specific patching, there are default armhf (and arm64) kernels but they son't work for every system since hardware varies too much.  as a result, and due to architectural differences, installing is not possible the 'default' (aMd64) way16:27
tomreyn(also staging kernel updates for boot works differently, flash-kernel)16:28
Noboru55hello everybody, is the xubuntu 19.10 better than 18.04 ?19:19
diogenes_Noboru55, it depends.19:20
Noboru55diogenes_ depends ? of what, my ram ? or...19:20
diogenes_Noboru55, on hardware.19:21
Noboru55diogenes_ the 19.10 needs a powerfull hardware?19:21
Noboru55diogenes_what processor and ram requeriments ? do u know ?19:22
diogenes_Noboru55, no, i mean the nwest kernel might not run on some reallt old hardware also 19.10 is 64bit only (afaik).19:23
kadiro18.04 is lts 19.10 is not19:23
Noboru55i see19:23

isthis4real57468almost sure but just to confirm...the livepatch feature is only for ubuntu lts proper? not the de versions?22:19
krytarikisthis4real57468: Does not matter really.22:20
tomreyni think there's only support for LTS kernels, yes22:20
isthis4real57468krytarik, are you talking from personal experience, have you gotten it working for some time?22:26
krytarikNope, I don't care about Livepatch really, but all flavors are technically Ubuntu so it should work there as well.22:28

sm0ruxHow can I get 'echo -e "\a"' to create a beep in my PC speaker? Using xfce4-terminal on 18.04.22:58
diogenes_sm0rux, first see if pcspkr module is loaded.23:06
sm0ruxIt is not commented out (no # sign) in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf23:07
kadiroI think the pcspkr is blacklisted by default23:07
diogenes_lsmod | grep pcspkr23:08
kadiroyou can install beep23:08
kadiroIn my case beep command works fine but with echo command never worked23:09
sm0ruxlsmod | grep pcspkr gives nothing23:09
diogenes_sm0rux, it mans it's not loaded.23:11
kadirosm0rux> try to load it first23:11
sm0ruxOK23:11
kadirosomething like sudo modprobe pcspkr23:11
diogenes_also check: grep "pcspkr" -r /etc/modprobe.d23:13
sm0ruxNow I see it using lsmod | grep pcspkr23:15
sm0ruxStill no sound then giving echo -e "\a"23:15
diogenes_play -q -n synth 0.1 sin 880 || echo -e "\a"23:16
sm0ruxHey - it beeped :)23:16
diogenes_cool23:17
kadirogood23:17
kadiroyour situation and mine are the same23:17
kadirothe echo can't work23:17
diogenes_you can modify  880 to you liking.23:17
sm0ruxCan I modify the the volume? Tried the -v setting, but no difference between -v 1 and -v 100023:19
kadiroadd vol x.x23:19
