gsilvaptwxl, is there an easy way to test this stuff? Deleting and creating new VMs every time I want to test something is a bit painful. Plus, I don't have much storage so I cannot afford many VMs simultaneously 00:27
kc2bezsnapshots?00:27
gsilvaptSomething like LXC/LXD or whatever00:27
gsilvaptThose might only accelerate generating VMs00:27
kc2bezyou can snapshot a vm too I guess.00:28
gsilvaptStill. To maintain the load of snapshots... 00:29
gsilvaptI've heard of toolbox though but I'm not sure how useful that would be for this case00:29
wxlyeah there's not really a good solution. i usually have a bunch of vms laying around.00:29
wxli have been thinking it would be nice for us to have some vms available for people to remote connect to with e.g. spice but that's probably a bit of a pipe dream00:30
gsilvaptYea, I have limited storage. I guess I can work with snapshots, that might actually work 00:31
gsilvaptAt least to have fresh installations available00:31
wxlOH!00:31
wxlyou could just run off the ISOs, at least for our stuff00:31
wxldebian doesn't make that as easy00:31
gsilvaptwxl, like sandboxes somewhere for testing that reset daily? The problem is that environments would get contaminated easily00:32
wxldebian kind of sucks. after you install it you start to understand why mark created ubuntu XD00:32
wxlgsilvapt: yeah like i said, it would be a pipe dream. it would require a lot of resources.00:32
gsilvaptwxl, yea, it would cool but very hard to manage. But, who knows? :D 00:33
gsilvaptYea, installing Debian is a bit of a pain and I speak from experience. Nothing against it but I agree :D 00:33
kc2bezThe calamares install is better :)00:34
gsilvaptIs there a way to host snapshots somewhere? I don't mind uploading mind as I go 00:35
gsilvaptActually would appreciate if I could get access to it from anywhere : )00:35
gsilvaptI have a static page hosted on Gitlab.com. Would they mind if I set up something from there? hehe00:35
kc2bezI've never really messed around with it too much in Virtualbox but you can migrate vms to external storage.00:36
gsilvaptand I agree kc2bez, calamares installer simplifies the process even more00:36
gsilvaptI don't have external storage here 00:37
gsilvaptOk, now I have a fresh installation, lets try to install core first and then another snap00:48

lubot<profetik777> @tsimonq2 [Although with people sometimes forgetting about it, maybe 3:30 ;)], I wont be avail but im sure we can maybe write something up.  I reached out to @teward001 regarding home page email optin. Would love to have a banner or at bottom of ribbon an email optin.01:05
lubot<profetik777> So we can start building our own marketing communications base of influence/contacts.01:06
gsilvaptwxl kc2bez could it be that since we have no snaps installed, snapd service is offline? Checking it out 01:15
kc2bezPossibly the daemon doesn't start until a snap is installed.01:15
wxli think i already checked that before01:16
gsilvaptsnapd is not in systemctl nor is a service01:16
gsilvaptWhere the hell is the daemon? 01:16
wxl`ps aux | grep snapd`01:16
wxlor better `pgrep snapd`01:17
kc2bez`systemctl status snapd`01:18
gsilvaptkc2bez, thanks. Dear me. Had a typo there and obviously it returned the service didn't existed01:19
kc2bezIt is all good.01:19
gsilvaptDo you guys use any oss pastebin? 01:22
gsilvaptI could use one right now to paste the output of the systemctl command - just for reference01:22
wxlshare.riseup.net01:22
gsilvaptthanks01:22
wxlbut isn't paste.ubuntu.com OSS?01:22
kc2bezdon't we have patebinit in phab?01:23
wxlyep01:23
gsilvaptwxl, it requires login AFAIK01:23
wxlbut i think he's not asking about the api client so much as the server software01:23
wxlgsilvapt: nope01:23
gsilvaptkc2bez, I bet so but I'm super noob with phabricator01:23
wxlthere's paste.debian.net01:24
gsilvaptFor some reason, bi-directional paste from vm to host is not working. Damn -.-01:25
wxlin vbox it needs to be installed in the host first01:25
wxlguest i mean01:25

gsilvaptI've asked snapcraft's forums what can be done to achieve the same behavior without the need to seed any snap. Lets see if they can help us 01:36
wxllink that in the task please01:37

lubot<tsimonq2> This is actually intended behavior01:47
lubot<tsimonq2> Wind back to about 2018 - I had an argument with the TB because we insisted on not including snapd by default on 18.04 installs01:48
lubot<tsimonq2> They said "okay, fine, but down the road, what would actually make it so you can install it?"01:48
lubot<tsimonq2> The answer was "if we don't have any snaps installed, don't have the snap service running, therefore wasting system resources"01:49
lubot<tsimonq2> That was the common ground because on 18.04 we didn't let up much ground re: using more system resources01:49
lubot<tsimonq2> As for today, if we actually seed a snap, fine, we'll get all that01:49
lubot<tsimonq2> But for right now, I'd argue it's working exactly as intended. If we're installing a snap, logging in and logging out shouldn't be a problem01:50
lubot<tsimonq2> Perhaps LXQt could be a bit more dynamic in its handling but otherwise everything here is working completely as intended01:50
kc2bezI send this in the kindest way possible.01:52
kc2bezhttps://phab.lubuntu.me/macro/view/4/01:52
kc2bezXD01:52
lubot<tsimonq2> XDDD01:52
kc2bezI don't think it is terrible as is. We just need to inform folks, perhaps an addition to the manual?01:54
lubot<gsilvapt> Or an option in calamares? Start snapd on reboot02:06
wxlhow much resources does snapd actually take up if it makes for such a negative experience? 04:14

lubot<Zhogkd> Would LXQT be replaced LXDE?04:26
lubot<lynorian> it has04:26
lubot<Zhogkd> now, memory usage of LXQT may little bit higher than LXDE04:28
lubot<tsimonq2> @Zhogkd [now, memory usage of LXQT may little bit higher than LXDE], Only slightly04:29
lubot<tsimonq2> Still less than most others04:29
wxland if there were such a thing as LXDE with GTK3 it would be higher than LXQt04:29
wxlLXDE is a dead project based on a dead project (GTK2)04:29

wxlLXQt is essentially completely different than LXDE04:32
wxland it's actively developed every day04:32
lubot<Zhogkd> @wxl [<wxl> and it's actively developed every day], Great!04:33
wxlLXDE has had a long standing bug in pcmanfm which has been ignored for a long time04:33
wxlthey didn't even respond to the bug report04:33
wxlthey have almost no commits to the project at all04:33
wxlagain, it's a dead project04:33
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @gsilvapt [<gsilvapt> I know, I know but for some reason it didn't work :shrug:], Never does. Use qemu.05:06

wxl#qt i think XD05:17
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @The_LoudSpeaker [Never does. Use qemu.], Major reason to use qemu is the load virtualbox puts on your system. The moment I start the guest, my cpu usage immediately shoots to 100% but that's not the case with qemu. It shoots up only if required.05:17

wxloh now THAT'S funny: if you install the core snap, you can't uninstall it05:39
wxland when i install it, it seems to revert my monitor settings. wth.05:48
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> @wxl [<wxl> and when i install it, it seems to revert my monitor settings. wth.], Never happened with me.05:50
