[00:49] <Alabalistic> cron
[00:49] <Alabalistic> my friend
[00:53] <JackFrost> cron indeed, 'at' can be useful, and there's xfce4-timer-plugin.
[00:54] <Alabalistic> he left :)
[00:57] <JackFrost> I know.
[01:02] <Alabalistic> happy new year
[01:02] <Alabalistic> Jack
[01:03] <JackFrost> Heh, happy new year, once it's here. :)
[02:55] <xubuntu16w> Good Evening
[02:59] <xubuntu16w> Greetings Soukk
[03:21] <xubuntu16w> Ever wanted to know in a script what distribution you were running?
[03:21] <xubuntu16w> Type    lsb_release -i -s
[03:22] <xubuntu16w> To get all the info type  lsb_release -a
[03:23] <xubuntu16w> To find out just the  version of the 'C' complier
[03:24] <xubuntu16w> Type in  gcc --version | cut --fields=4 --delimiter=" " -z -
[03:25] <xubuntu16w> lsb_release -aNo LSB modules are available.Distributor ID:	UbuntuDescription:	Ubuntu 19.04Release:	19.04Codename:	disco
[03:27] <xubuntu16w> Sleep well. Good night.
[18:25] <xubuntu11w> I have a question as to which is the better version of ubunto to install ..
[18:25] <Alabalistic> xubuntu11w, what are your needs and expectation
[18:27] <xubuntu11w> I 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..
[18:28] <xubuntu11w> not business or .. server type stuff .. just wanting to be able to flow info in my home network
[18:30] <Alabalistic> I find Kubuntu Plasma the best for me, I do need to do some access control, groups and right ajustemnts, from time to time
[18:31] <xubuntu11w> eventually 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 long
[18:31] <xubuntu11w> time... via the old windows 3.11 era
[18:32] <Alabalistic> other option is Linux Mint, they have great irc support community.
[18:32] <xubuntu11w> I think the one I loaded the other day was the 19 something ... just picked on that was suposedly the newest?
[18:33] <Alabalistic> Endless OS have easy to use Tablet like desktop its a nice option for elderly, with separate youtube and facebook app
[18:34] <xubuntu11w> ok.. like I said ... the one I loaded the other day... suposedly with 5 years of .. updates?
[18:35] <Alabalistic> just 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 share
[18:35] <xubuntu11w> in other words.. is the first one I loaded .. going to be a good base .. and should I keep installing it
[18:36] <xubuntu11w> I only used ssd hard drives that I am ready to completely redo
[18:36] <Alabalistic> between Linux boxes, if you need some Win compat then enable samba share
[18:37] <xubuntu11w> I am deleting all my windows content .. except saving my pictures and documents and videos
[18:37] <xubuntu11w> on other hard drives completely
[18:38] <Alabalistic> another 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 there
[18:39] <xubuntu11w> all 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?
[18:41] <Alabalistic> you mind Linux Mint 19
[18:41] <Alabalistic> or
[18:42] <xubuntu11w> or?
[18:43] <Alabalistic> which distro have you downloaded
[18:43] <xubuntu11w> hell .. I do not know .. wait a minute
[18:45] <xubuntu11w> tell me where do I find that out?
[18:46] <Alabalistic> lets start from the beggining. https://linuxmint.com/download.php you need the 64bit Cinnemon edition
[18:47] <Alabalistic> for begginer is great choice
[18:47] <Alabalistic> are you on a linux machine at the moment or on a windows
[18:48] <xubuntu11w> I am on the latest .. suposedly .. version of Ubuntu
[18:48] <xubuntu11w> and do not know the difference between ubuntu and linuxmint
[18:50] <Alabalistic> its diferent Desktop Env and some small settings
[18:50] <xubuntu11w> basically .. on linux systems .. I am being thrown into it like I was when the internet was just starting on winows
[18:51] <Alabalistic> I do not understand
[18:53] <xubuntu11w> there 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 the
[18:53] <xubuntu11w> linux mint .. and install it on my next comp.. will it comunicate with the ubuntu I have installed on this one?
[18:55] <Alabalistic> Yes they are basicly the same
[18:55] <xubuntu11w> all of the comps have quad processors
[18:56] <Alabalistic> diferent is the name of some programs, and defaults, but Linux Mint is a child of ubuntu
[18:56] <xubuntu11w> ok.. a better child ..?
[18:57] <Alabalistic> you need to impliment your umask, users and permissions by our self if you want security
[18:57] <Alabalistic> no its a diferent child
[18:58] <Alabalistic> just the desktop is diferent
[18:59] <xubuntu11w> and 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 wifi
[18:59] <Alabalistic> some of the ubuntu kids are, Kubuntu, xubuntu, Linux Mint, Ubuntu Mate, EndlessOS, ElementaryOS etc
[19:00] <Alabalistic> I use virtualbox with windows 7 for photoshop and Itunes
[19:00] <Alabalistic> I can work 100MB file in photoshop like a charm
[19:00] <xubuntu11w> so.. 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...
[19:01] <xubuntu11w> and .. I do not want any parts of windows anywhere to deal with
[19:01] <xubuntu11w> and have no clue what virtual box even is
[19:03] <Alabalistic> I will send you a free book from Linux Professional Institute,
[19:03] <xubuntu11w> these questions are because I know just enough to get my ass in trouble
[19:03] <Alabalistic> just read it and you will learn everything you need to know
[19:03] <Alabalistic> cop this in your terminal
[19:04] <Alabalistic> wormhole receive 42-aftermath-wallet
[19:04] <xubuntu11w> I need .. more info .. need info .. and thank you .. cause I am reprogramming my entire communication with the world..
[19:04] <xubuntu11w> and have no clue where to cop that into my terminal .. that is how ignorant I am at this moment
[19:06] <Alabalistic> https://www.tuxcademy.org/media/
[19:06] <Alabalistic> there is the website
[19:06] <Alabalistic> in media you will find manuals, in clear friendly way
[19:06] <xubuntu11w> but thank you .. very much ... I will continue to expand my knowledge.. you have been very kind
[19:06] <Alabalistic> free of charge
[19:07] <Alabalistic> virtual box is a program, you install it and when you open it you can install diferent OS into your OS, you alocate CPU cores and RAM to your machine
[19:08] <Alabalistic> its free, all you need is OS iso files and you can experiment
[19:08] <Alabalistic> https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
[19:08] <xubuntu11w> thank you again... more info ... I am thirsty for more info
[19:08] <Alabalistic> you can still use all your windows safly behind linux
[19:09] <xubuntu11w> not going to happen .. want no part of windows
[19:09] <Alabalistic> in virtual box you can cut your guest OS from internet, and use it only when you need something specific, like update iPhone music
[19:11] <xubuntu11w> not into all the extra stuff yet.. only have a flip phone .. at this point .. mostly want to have a powerful home network
[19:12] <xubuntu11w> but so very saving all your info in my bookmarks ... so thankful
[19:13] <Alabalistic> there is so many options and posability
[19:13] <Alabalistic> have a nice year
[19:15] <xubuntu11w> you too.. do you have any ideas on which linux versions of grahic and photo enhancement type programs to install?
[21:04] <xubuntu97w> Greetings, is there anybody here who wants to give me a hand with fixing my issues?
[21:04] <xubuntu97w> totally linux related
[21:07] <Bashing-om> xubuntu97w: Totally depends on what the issues are, and what my skill level is .
[21:09] <xubuntu97w> Well 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.
[21:10] <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 974753791
[21:10] <xubuntu97w> 196087808 93,5G Linux filesystem''
[21:10] <xubuntu97w> for instance all partitions show on the hard drive.
[21:11] <xubuntu97w> I've went into the EFI manager and changed the boot order but it only boots from BIOS straight to Xubuntu
[21:12] <xubuntu97w> I 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.
[21:14] <xubuntu97w> I 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.
[21:17] <Bashing-om> xubuntu97w: Sorry; can not help with Win10 booting.
[21:18] <xubuntu97w> well I want to know about how to fix linux before this disappears too
[21:20] <Bashing-om> xubuntu97w: That I can address. Pastebin the outputs of terminal commands' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade '.
[21:21] <xubuntu97w> ok
[21:23] <xubuntu97w> it's currently going through its thing. Update worked fine, it's upgrade that throws all the code
[21:25] <xubuntu97w> https://pastebin.com/2u3ESa9y
[21:25] <Bashing-om> xubuntu97w: looking ^.
[21:25] <xubuntu97w> Okay, Thank you
[21:30] <Bashing-om> xubuntu97w: "Not updating LILO" - Huh ? what shows ' dpkg -l grub-pc ' ? What distro and release are we working with?
[21:31] <genii> Heh, LILO
[21:31] <xubuntu97w> Im using Xubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beav er
[21:31] <xubuntu97w> Beaver
[21:31] <xubuntu97w> rick@Workstation-Odin:~$ uname -r5.0.0-37-generic
[21:32] <xubuntu97w> I mean if you look closely there is a lot of throw codes
[21:33] <Bashing-om> xubuntu97w: All those ^ in respect to a malformed config file; some where.
[21:34] <Bashing-om> !info linux-generic-hwe-18.04 bionic
[21:34] <xubuntu97w> I'm super confused. How do I locate and delete these files
[21:34] <xubuntu97w> or should we say packages?
[21:36] <xubuntu97w> I need some professional help
[21:36] <Bashing-om> xubuntu97w: Been soooo long since I looked at LILO. But the place to start is getting rid of it and getting grub installed.
[21:36] <xubuntu97w> I already tried to install grub
[21:37] <Bashing-om> xubuntu97w: What procedure did you do to install grub?
[21:39] <xubuntu97w> I dont recall. I've used tons of material online.
[21:41] <xubuntu97w> im redoing it right now and let's see how it works
[21:41] <Bashing-om> xubuntu97w: Let'stry and re-install grub:show us ' sudo fdisk -lu ' in a paste bin.
[21:43] <xubuntu97w> installing grab-customizer command is giving me the same error codes as the upgrade command
[21:44] <xubuntu97w> https://pastebin.com/r2pwDqi2
[21:44] <xubuntu97w> Bashing-om
[21:46] <Bashing-om> xubuntu97w: 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.
[21:47] <xubuntu97w> okay, well i'm lost with what commands are third party.
[21:47] <xubuntu97w> I'm just trying to fix it
[21:47] <xubuntu97w> ill try again later
[21:49] <Bashing-om> xubuntu97w: "grub-customizer; yannubuntu/boot-repair" are 3rd party for instance.
[21:50] <Bashing-om> xubuntu97w: And we are trying to help. IF you will follow instruction.
[21:51] <xubuntu97w> please give me instructions
[21:53] <Bashing-om> xubuntu97w: I am awaiting 'sudo fdisk -lu' so we know the target to install grub to :)
