[03:45] <mcseccne1> test?
[03:49] <ducasse> not here either
[04:10] <mcseccne1> then where
[04:10] <mcseccne1> im new to weechat and trying to figure it out
[04:12] <mcseccne1> all I wanted to do was insure im in the room
[04:12] <mcseccne1> sorry
[04:17] <Bashing-om> mcseccne1: We can read you ... and there is the #test channel :)
[04:17] <mcseccne1> ah thank you bashing-om i had not found that one yet
[04:18] <Bashing-om> !alis | mcseccne1
[04:21] <mcseccne1> thank you im new to irc and weechat but i love the fact that it is command line but there is small learning curve ...thank you for the input i was unaware of !alias as this is second day and was only aware of ubuntu irc channel list so thank you so much!
[04:23] <Bashing-om> mcseccne1: If you run 'buntu - we are here to help. :)
[04:24] <mcseccne1> well thats what I thought I am running ubuntu server 18.04 with no graphic interface so...im learning
[04:25] <mcseccne1> just excited about it all i thought this is where i could talk about that
[04:26] <Bashing-om> mcseccne1: Welcome to the light :P
[04:26] <mcseccne1> smile bigtime!!
[04:26] <mcseccne1> thank you!
[04:34] <ducasse> mcseccne1: if you run weechat, you should run it under tmux or screen so you can keep it running and connect/disconnect at will
[04:37] <mcseccne1> i tried to use tmux today but i need to learn alot more about it i could not really do what i wanted ....so i figure i need to learn more about it i installed it and initially installed to split windows but for some reason it was not working for me so i moved on to getting inn the channel with weechat
[04:37] <mcseccne1> i want to learn tmux more but it all takes time...
[04:38] <ducasse> there are plenty of cheat sheets with keyboard bindings online
[04:39] <mcseccne1> maybe the key is keyboard bindings seemed almost like the keys they said did not work for instance ctrl b ' did not split window and didnt seem like it was reading keys right now that you say that
[04:39] <Bashing-om> mcseccne1: ^^ best moved to #ubuntu support channel.
[04:40] <ducasse> mcseccne1: also this - https://tmuxcheatsheet.com/
[04:41] <mcseccne1> thank you
[04:45] <ducasse> mcseccne1: there are cheat sheets for weechat too, of course
[04:47] <mcseccne1> yes still very basic with weechat..I have managed to be able to login and now change buffers etc but ive seen some pretty screenshots and different things even the remote interface all intrest me but not there just yet
[04:48] <ducasse> something like glowing bear is easy to set up if you want a gui
[04:51] <mcseccne1> no thats just it....i want the command line i do have a ubuntu destop but it is the command line stuff that grips me so im gonna stick it out
[04:53] <ducasse> you might still want to run x11 to get more terminals on screen and a browser if you need one
[04:53] <mcseccne1> I work as network engineer and work with cisco command line alot this is so much more powerful eventually i plan to have my server be a full fledge router with open source software!!
[04:54] <Bashing-om> !terminal | mcseccne1
[04:56] <mcseccne1> ive heard of the x11 and typed that at my command line but got errors  .was reluctant to install whats needed as i dont want to cripple myself not sure what xll give me i know its minimal but i viewed it as a crutch..is that correct thinking ?
[04:57] <mcseccne1> ill have to make a VM and check it out with x11
[04:57] <Bashing-om> mcseccne1: The GUI is a tool - some things are done easier in that GUI environment.
[04:57] <ducasse> x11 is just a display server, you also need a window manager or a desktop environment
[04:57] <mcseccne1> so x11 alone will not work?
[04:58] <ducasse> it will just give you a grey screen with an x for a cursor
[04:58] <mcseccne1> dont really want to make my server a decktop?
[04:58] <ducasse> then don't :)
[05:00] <mcseccne1> what do you mean run x11 to get more terminals and browser? i guess it will allow me to have more than the main screen? can I only install x11 and accomplish that or do i need desktop with that?
[05:01] <mcseccne1> ah sorry should have read more ill check out window managers
[05:02] <ducasse> you can install just a window manager, that will give you a basic gui and let you run x11 clients
[07:05] <mcseccne1> @ ducasse thank you much you have given me enough to stay busy a day or two ive chosen xmonad as a window manager
[07:21] <ducasse> mcseccne1: i also recommend i3
[07:36] <mcseccne1> actually that was number 1 but it said for advanced users so...maybe i will look at it again
[07:38] <ducasse> just check out the user guide, it's very very good and has a cutout with keyboard shortcuts
[07:38] <ducasse> add rofi and you'll have a nice, keyboard-driven gu
[07:38] <ducasse> *gui
[07:40] <mcseccne1> ah thanks again
[07:41] <ducasse> besides, xmonad is probably harder, since you need haskell knowledge to get much use out of it
[07:44] <mcseccne1> yes i was going to attempt tomorrow as i saw needed effort to configure
[07:44] <mcseccne1> i will give i3 a go
[07:44] <mcseccne1> i like the multi monitor
[07:46] <mcseccne1> i would like to e able to scrap desktop all together this looks as if i may be able to do that and use a server full time
[07:47] <ducasse> i use a server install with i3 as my main desktop
[07:47] <ducasse> with 3 monitors, i3 has great multiscreen handling
[07:50] <mcseccne1> now your talking!!!
[07:51] <mcseccne1> do i just install rofi or add it from i3
[07:52] <ducasse> just install it, it's in the repos
[07:53] <ducasse> then add something like this to your i3 config:
[07:53] <ducasse> bindsym $mod+q exec "rofi -i -show"
[07:53] <ducasse> then you launch rofi by pressing mod+q

[21:35] <mcseccne1> Ducasse i have i3 working with xterm is this ok or is there a better choice? also can I run chromium like this or do i need to go with headless chromium because of the lack of graphics?
