| gimzmoe | I've got a noob question, I've got 5 laptops I'm trying to cluster for a project. I've installed python3 on all of them but some have 3.8.2 and others have 3.8.6 as installed from the repo when I added deadsnakes ppa... can someone explain why and maybe a clue to how to fix it? | 04:08 |
| guiverc | gimzmoe, are all running the same release? different releases can have different versions of packages even with PPAs | 05:24 |
| gimzmoe | that's what started this mess, but I upgraded. I think... I've sorted something out, I'm stripping the python3 from each of the machines and starting over. it's not fast or pretty but it's progress | 05:25 |
| lotuspsychje | welcome xMeia | 17:31 |
| xMeia | what r we discussin? | 17:31 |
| xMeia | thanks | 17:31 |
| lotuspsychje | xMeia: currently not much, you can start a topic :p | 17:31 |
| xMeia | Give me some of your best tips on software to download and what they do | 17:33 |
| xMeia | What is good/bad about Xubuntu (I am on it) in regards to other distributions? | 17:34 |
| lotuspsychje | xMeia: wich version of xubuntu? | 17:34 |
| xMeia | latest | 17:34 |
| lotuspsychje | lts or non-lts | 17:35 |
| xMeia | what does that mean? im new to this | 17:35 |
| xMeia | and how do I check it? =) | 17:35 |
| lotuspsychje | xMeia: i always install these: preload, haveged, gnome-tweaks, dconf-editor, vlc, qbittorrent, stacer, bleachbit | 17:36 |
| lotuspsychje | xMeia: lsb_release -a | 17:36 |
| xMeia | commando wont work | 17:38 |
| mgedmin | cat /etc/os-release | 17:40 |
| mgedmin | look for VERSION="..." | 17:41 |
| xMeia | 20.04.1 LTS (Focal Fossa) | 17:41 |
| mgedmin | the latest ubuntu is an lts in any case | 17:41 |
| xMeia | What is LTS | 17:41 |
| mgedmin | long-term support | 17:42 |
| mgedmin | ubuntu releases twice per year every year | 17:42 |
| xMeia | ah, thats good | 17:42 |
| mgedmin | not everyone likes upgrading their machines that often | 17:42 |
| mgedmin | therefore once every two years a release is designated the current Long Term Support release, and is supported for 5 years | 17:42 |
| mgedmin | (non-LTS releases are supported for 9 months) | 17:42 |
| xMeia | Ok, still very much 2 learn on linux so LTS for me should fit fine I think | 17:43 |
| mgedmin | support == software updates are made available with bugfixes and especially security fixes | 17:43 |
| xMeia | how do I configure preload with say.. Firefox | 17:45 |
| lotuspsychje | xMeia: preload you can just install and reboot, after that its all automatic | 17:46 |
| xMeia | nice =) | 17:47 |
| xMeia | Sittin on an old laptop I breath new life into so it will be nice | 17:47 |
| xMeia | and haveged, can it help me anyhow? | 17:47 |
| lotuspsychje | xMeia: also the same, install reboot done | 17:48 |
| xMeia | explain some software and stuff for me that I could have good use for if you'd like and what they do | 17:48 |
| lotuspsychje | xMeia: i highly reccomend stacer, as it can help you tweak on older machines, shred files, tweak systemd services etc | 17:48 |
| xMeia | Ok | 17:48 |
| xMeia | is it automatic or do I manage manually? | 17:49 |
| lotuspsychje | xMeia: stacer has different sections, some automatic some manual tweaking | 17:49 |
| lotuspsychje | xMeia: like on older laptops and other cases, i disable braille,cups,openvpn,bluetooth | 17:52 |
| lotuspsychje | depends on your personal case ofc | 17:52 |
| xMeia | how do I do it? | 17:55 |
| xMeia | maybe let bluetooth be there still as I might use a speaker for it | 17:55 |
| lotuspsychje | xMeia: click the services icon on the left and disable your unwanted services | 17:57 |
| xMeia | nice with stacer! | 18:01 |
| xMeia | openvpn I cant find haha | 18:01 |
| xMeia | the other ones is off! | 18:01 |
