[02:51] good morning [06:18] good morning [09:30] <[VMGuy23]> Walex: 1min startup? u sure? === jelly-home is now known as jelly [18:07] cranberry, you can set a pipe in a mail alias or ~/.forward file to have all mail delivered to that command. Used for running all mail through procmail for sorting/filtering. "| command". [18:09] cranberry, I guess you could get the deliver-to-a-net endpoint with "! nc host port" [18:09] hi rfm [18:09] I can put bash like scripting in ~/.forward? [18:09] is that file read by the MUA or MTA ? [18:10] because if that'S the case, that's exactly what I'm looking for - as you stated I would just need the email piped into "| nc host port" [18:10] cranberry, it's not full script language, just uses the same pipe symbol. the command has to be literal, it's not globbed, substituted, etc [18:11] cranberry, of course the command could be a shell script. [18:11] ah, I see. that is super handy to know! do you use a specific mail agent with it? or is it an universal thing? I tried searching but could not really find anything [18:13] cranberry, certainly sendmail and postfix do it. it used to be very popular for running all incoming mail through "procmail" for sorting and filtering.... [18:13] I see - Awesome, I will try that. Thank you very much!! [18:13] cranberry, also the "vacation" autoreply command... [18:14] oh, I did not know that was a thing on *nix [19:19] cranberry, I finally found where this is documented in a ubuntu manpage (assuming postfix which is the usual MTA on ubuntu): "man aliases", which mainly documents /etc/aliases but mentions that the right-hand-side can go in ~/.forward files... [19:21] rfm: nice! I searched for ".forward" and "~/.forward" but only found news articles - lol [19:21] thank you very much! [20:50] <[VMGuy23]> Is there any Wine alternatives that might work better? VM is not the way because my PC is not that great [20:51] afaik not [20:51] <[VMGuy23]> Wine barely works, and thats annoying [20:53] there's nothing else [20:53] what are your system specs? [20:56] if VM doesn't work well either, maybe you should have considered a dual boot [20:58] [VMGuy23]: what windows apps do you need to run? [20:58] * Maik can live without them [21:00] <[VMGuy23]> Maik: A lot of apps won't work, one reason because it runs as admin, another because 99% of librarys are missing (also, AMD Ryzen 3 3200u (i think, how do i check) with radeon vega mobile gfx) Office just... doesnt work. Also, I do dual-boot, but prefer Ubuntu [21:01] [VMGuy23]: so... why is this system not capable of virtualization? [21:01] who needs Office when there's LibreOffice on Ubuntu..... [21:02] you can check your cpu with cat /proc/cpuinfo [21:02] RAM with free -h [21:02] <[VMGuy23]> tomreyn: its capabale of virtualisation, but its a slow pc [21:03] [VMGuy23]: also with system specs i mean which CPU and how much RAM [21:03] <[VMGuy23]> AMD Ryzen 3 3200U and 16GB ram [21:03] [VMGuy23]: whats slow about it? the cpu looks good enough. unless the system has thermal issues [21:04] and you have issues with a VM? i run a VM in boxes on a old i5 CPU with 4GB RAM [21:04] 16 gb ram is certainly fine for virtualization if you can spare 2 or 4 for the windows vm running office [21:05] i can't really call your pc a low spec one [21:06] if you forgot the windows license key bound to the system mainboard sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM [21:06] <[VMGuy23]> I have 10sec bootup on a month old install of ubuntu and GRUB takes 5-10sec to show [21:06] especially with a CPU that's clocked at 2.6 - 3.5GHz [21:06] [VMGuy23]: boot time is one thing, but once the system is up, what's slow about it? [21:07] <[VMGuy23]> tomreyn: I often wait 5-10seconds waiting for GNOME to load, on a frozen screen [21:08] okay, that'S weird. but whats the problem with running vms? [21:08] <[VMGuy23]> tomreyn: Slow. Low FPS. Generally bad performance. [21:08] probably a GPU driver issue [21:08] maybe that's really thermal issues. you should check the system log [21:09] gotta love AMD and nVidia... i prefer Intel, less issues [21:10] if you have a dedicated nvidia graphics chipset in addition to the integrated amd graphics, and have not disabled the nvidia unit then this might be the source of latencies. [21:10] <[VMGuy23]> Maik: yeah I recently failed to install amdgpu-pro because im on 20.10 and its for 20.04 so now I'm stuck with llvm (as it says in Settings/About) instad of what it used to say, AMD Raven2 [21:10] [VMGuy23]: but keep in mind that this channel isn't really meant for support [21:10] <[VMGuy23]> Maik: I know, #ubuntu isnt responding though [21:11] you know the drill after asking, be patient [21:11] same people that are in #ubuntu are also here and in other channels [21:12] at least the majority is
