xubuntu16wTo get all the info type  lsb_release -a03:22
xubuntu16wTo find out just the  version of the 'C' complier03:23
xubuntu16wType in  gcc --version | cut --fields=4 --delimiter=" " -z -03:24
xubuntu16wlsb_release -aNo LSB modules are available.Distributor ID:UbuntuDescription:Ubuntu 19.04Release:19.04Codename:disco03:25
xubuntu16wSleep well. Good night.03:27
xubuntu11wI have a question as to which is the better version of ubunto to install ..18:25
Alabalisticxubuntu11w, what are your needs and expectation18:25
xubuntu11wI am just living at home .. just want to get the hell out of windows.. and .. I do like video and picture stuff .. and audio stuff .. but .. also .. do a lot of time on facebook ...and .. want to have three computers on my home network... or 4 .. and want to be able to network them all easily together..18:27
xubuntu11wnot business or .. server type stuff .. just wanting to be able to flow info in my home network18:28
AlabalisticI find Kubuntu Plasma the best for me, I do need to do some access control, groups and right ajustemnts, from time to time18:30
xubuntu11weventually may catch up with the rest of the world and have a few other things like cell phones and tablets also link in .. but .. on the bottom of new technology .. and the reason I waited so long to go completely Ubuntu... wanted to be in a place that was so much more then redhat .. and the like of the early years.. as I have been around a long18:31
xubuntu11wtime... via the old windows 3.11 era18:31
Alabalisticother option is Linux Mint, they have great irc support community.18:32
xubuntu11wI think the one I loaded the other day was the 19 something ... just picked on that was suposedly the newest?18:32
AlabalisticEndless OS have easy to use Tablet like desktop its a nice option for elderly, with separate youtube and facebook app18:33
xubuntu11wok.. like I said ... the one I loaded the other day... suposedly with 5 years of .. updates?18:34
Alabalisticjust be carefull with NTFS disk partitions, Linux reads it but is not very good in writing on them, use only ext4 file systems, and NFS fore share18:35
xubuntu11win other words.. is the first one I loaded .. going to be a good base .. and should I keep installing it18:35
xubuntu11wI only used ssd hard drives that I am ready to completely redo18:36
Alabalisticbetween Linux boxes, if you need some Win compat then enable samba share18:36
xubuntu11wI am deleting all my windows content .. except saving my pictures and documents and videos18:37
xubuntu11won other hard drives completely18:37
Alabalisticanother thing, put your / and /home in deferent partitions, so you can nuke and pave as many Linux distros you want, and all your files and settings will be there18:38
xubuntu11wall of this is helpful in the future .. the question I still have is .. is the one I downloaded and have the disk to use to install .. the right one to keep installing?18:39
Alabalisticyou mind Linux Mint 1918:41
Alabalisticor18:41
xubuntu11wor?18:42
Alabalisticwhich distro have you downloaded18:43
xubuntu11whell .. I do not know .. wait a minute18:43
xubuntu11wtell me where do I find that out?18:45
Alabalisticlets start from the beggining. https://linuxmint.com/download.php you need the 64bit Cinnemon edition18:46
Alabalisticfor begginer is great choice18:47
Alabalisticare you on a linux machine at the moment or on a windows18:47
xubuntu11wI am on the latest .. suposedly .. version of Ubuntu18:48
xubuntu11wand do not know the difference between ubuntu and linuxmint18:48
Alabalisticits diferent Desktop Env and some small settings18:50
xubuntu11wbasically .. on linux systems .. I am being thrown into it like I was when the internet was just starting on winows18:50
AlabalisticI do not understand18:51
xubuntu11wthere is a huge learning curve on linux systems versus windows.. and just want to put the best safest version of it all .. and .. in the past .. have watched ubuntu grow to what it is ... but ... am I in the right direction for use and security with ubuntu .. or .. is the linux mint ... going to be the way I should go .. and why .. and if I get the18:53
xubuntu11wlinux mint .. and install it on my next comp.. will it comunicate with the ubuntu I have installed on this one?18:53
AlabalisticYes they are basicly the same18:55
xubuntu11wall of the comps have quad processors18:55
Alabalisticdiferent is the name of some programs, and defaults, but Linux Mint is a child of ubuntu18:56
xubuntu11wok.. a better child ..?18:56
Alabalisticyou need to impliment your umask, users and permissions by our self if you want security18:57
Alabalisticno its a diferent child18:57
Alabalisticjust the desktop is diferent18:58
xubuntu11wand like I said .. in the future .. I do love doing videos and picture enhancement stuff... and ... I am going to be learning a big curve ... and have no clue.. and this moment .. where to umask users and permissions .. but .. live way out in the country .. and am not concerned with anyone tapping into my wifi18:59
Alabalisticsome of the ubuntu kids are, Kubuntu, xubuntu, Linux Mint, Ubuntu Mate, EndlessOS, ElementaryOS etc18:59
AlabalisticI use virtualbox with windows 7 for photoshop and Itunes19:00
AlabalisticI can work 100MB file in photoshop like a charm19:00
xubuntu11wso.. if you are saying they are basically the same .. I guess my choice of Ubuntu has been based on the user friendly part of it being so much better then the past ... and ... I need user friendly .. till I learn more...19:00
xubuntu11wand .. I do not want any parts of windows anywhere to deal with19:01
xubuntu11wand have no clue what virtual box even is19:01
AlabalisticI will send you a free book from Linux Professional Institute,19:03
xubuntu11wthese questions are because I know just enough to get my ass in trouble19:03
Alabalisticjust read it and you will learn everything you need to know19:03

Alabalisticyou can still use all your windows safly behind linux19:08
xubuntu11wnot going to happen .. want no part of windows19:09
Alabalisticin virtual box you can cut your guest OS from internet, and use it only when you need something specific, like update iPhone music19:09
xubuntu11wnot into all the extra stuff yet.. only have a flip phone .. at this point .. mostly want to have a powerful home network19:11

Alabalistichave a nice year19:13
xubuntu11wyou too.. do you have any ideas on which linux versions of grahic and photo enhancement type programs to install?19:15
xubuntu97wGreetings, is there anybody here who wants to give me a hand with fixing my issues?21:04
xubuntu97wtotally linux related21:04
Bashing-omxubuntu97w: Totally depends on what the issues are, and what my skill level is .21:07
xubuntu97wWell to begin with I have a Dual Boot Windows 10 and Xubuntu 18.04, Windows 10 is still on the hard drive but will not load at boot manager and it goes straight to xubuntu. Problem is I cannot upload any programs either. I keep throwing error codes suck as dpkg related errors amongst other codes.21:09
xubuntu97w''Device         Start       End   Sectors  Size Type/dev/sda1       2048    534527    532480  260M EFI System/dev/sda2     534528    567295     32768   16M Microsoft reserved/dev/sda3     567296 778664861 778097566  371G Microsoft basic data/dev/sda4  974753792 976760831   2007040  980M Windows recovery environment/dev/sda5  778665984 97475379121:10
xubuntu97w196087808 93,5G Linux filesystem''21:10
xubuntu97wfor instance all partitions show on the hard drive.21:10
xubuntu97wI've went into the EFI manager and changed the boot order but it only boots from BIOS straight to Xubuntu21:11
xubuntu97wI also believe I did something with nls where I set up watch to relay a stupid message every second and I cannot locate where I made the change in order to turn it off. Which appears in the error messages.21:12
xubuntu97wI think I was using either nano, bash.sh or something of that nature. I've spent the entire day just trying different links I've found online. Now, I am exhausted and frustrated because it appears as though I am further destroying my computer.21:14
Bashing-omxubuntu97w: Sorry; can not help with Win10 booting.21:17
xubuntu97wwell I want to know about how to fix linux before this disappears too21:18
Bashing-omxubuntu97w: That I can address. Pastebin the outputs of terminal commands' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade '.21:20
xubuntu97wok21:21
xubuntu97wit's currently going through its thing. Update worked fine, it's upgrade that throws all the code21:23
xubuntu97whttps://pastebin.com/2u3ESa9y21:25
Bashing-omxubuntu97w: looking ^.21:25
xubuntu97wOkay, Thank you21:25
Bashing-omxubuntu97w: "Not updating LILO" - Huh ? what shows ' dpkg -l grub-pc ' ? What distro and release are we working with?21:30
geniiHeh, LILO21:31
xubuntu97wIm using Xubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beav er21:31
xubuntu97wBeaver21:31
xubuntu97wrick@Workstation-Odin:~$ uname -r5.0.0-37-generic21:31
xubuntu97wI mean if you look closely there is a lot of throw codes21:32
Bashing-omxubuntu97w: All those ^ in respect to a malformed config file; some where.21:33
Bashing-om!info linux-generic-hwe-18.04 bionic21:34
xubuntu97wI'm super confused. How do I locate and delete these files21:34
ubottulinux-generic-hwe-18.04 (source: linux-meta-hwe): Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers. In component main, is optional. Version 5.0.0.37.95 (bionic), package size 1 kB, installed size 12 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; armhf; arm64; ppc64el; s390x)21:34
xubuntu97wor should we say packages?21:34
xubuntu97wI need some professional help21:36
Bashing-omxubuntu97w: Been soooo long since I looked at LILO. But the place to start is getting rid of it and getting grub installed.21:36
xubuntu97wI already tried to install grub21:36
Bashing-omxubuntu97w: What procedure did you do to install grub?21:37
xubuntu97wI dont recall. I've used tons of material online.21:39
xubuntu97wim redoing it right now and let's see how it works21:41
Bashing-omxubuntu97w: Let'stry and re-install grub:show us ' sudo fdisk -lu ' in a paste bin.21:41
xubuntu97winstalling grab-customizer command is giving me the same error codes as the upgrade command21:43
xubuntu97whttps://pastebin.com/r2pwDqi221:44
xubuntu97wBashing-om21:44
Bashing-omxubuntu97w: If you are going off on some wild tangent, not much I can do to help :( There are procedures to follow to get grub installed - and NOT 3rd party stuff.21:46
xubuntu97wokay, well i'm lost with what commands are third party.21:47
xubuntu97wI'm just trying to fix it21:47
xubuntu97will try again later21:47
Bashing-omxubuntu97w: "grub-customizer; yannubuntu/boot-repair" are 3rd party for instance.21:49
Bashing-omxubuntu97w: And we are trying to help. IF you will follow instruction.21:50
xubuntu97wplease give me instructions21:51
Bashing-omxubuntu97w: I am awaiting 'sudo fdisk -lu' so we know the target to install grub to :)21:53
