dman777is it possible to install xinit without pulling in gnome?00:31
Bashing-omdman777: one can download xinit: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/xinit - please observe that a term of some flavor is required.00:38
dman777Bashing-om: when I try to apt-get install xinit it pulls in gnome stuff... but that page you showed me doesn't list gnome as a depends00:41
Bashing-omdman777: ' apt depends xinit ' also does not show the gnome dependencies :(00:44
dman777ok, thanks. maybe it is something else00:46
Bashing-omdman777: Pulling in some "recommends" >> gnome-session ??00:47
XunieI'm trying to measure my program with 'perf'. But 'perf' requires one of the linux-tools packages to be installed with (what I presume are) kernel modules. Which package (other than the one for my kernel version) is right for me?01:24
HickorySmokedBacWhat's the latest LTS?01:27
HickorySmokedBacAnd how much longer does it have01:28
HickorySmokedBacsees 20.04 is the LTS?01:28
HickorySmokedBacseems01:28
SaxleYes HickorySmokedBac 20.0401:28
HickorySmokedBacSaxle: Is it worth messing with replacing CentOS (IE: new install)01:28
HickorySmokedBacOr am I going to have to come back pretty soon and install a new version anyway?01:29
HickorySmokedBac(how long does the current LTS have left)01:29
SaxleI never used that, but you can always just boot off of a live usb and test it out HickorySmokedBac01:29
HickorySmokedBacSaxle: I'm just wondering how long before I'll be updating the OS if I go LTS01:29
HickorySmokedBacKind of want to take an aint broke don't fix it , use it when I need it, backup, kinda approach to these old machines laying around01:30
Saxle4/2025 I think01:30
HickorySmokedBacOh, sounds good enough for me.01:30
HickorySmokedBacGot an E2160 and skylake Celeron laying around.01:31
HickorySmokedBacI need to take off CentOS01:31
HickorySmokedBacbeen thinking about doing that to this main machine ..01:32
SaxleUbuntu is pretty good and stable.01:32
HickorySmokedBacSince I haven't been gaming as much as I used to01:32
HickorySmokedBacand cryptocurrency ruined PC gaming01:32
HickorySmokedBac$180 card -> 350-45001:33
HickorySmokedBacnaw01:33
HickorySmokedBacBut anyway, yeah I'll try Lubuntu LTS01:33

Saxlehaha01:35
HickorySmokedBacSo many people alive that aren't..01:35
HickorySmokedBacBashing-om: Oh, Perhaps I'll use the main one then01:36
SaxleEarly Ubuntu is much different than now, gnome 2 and simplified.01:36
HickorySmokedBacBashing-om: was wanting something easy on hardware01:36
HickorySmokedBacSpecially that old stuff01:36

Zenenhey all! I'm trying to configure a Raspberry Pi as an independent 2-in-1 wifi access point and webpage. I've got it mostly set up but I'm curious about how I might add custom DNS entries so that I can map my webpage as a domain name rather than an IP address.02:41
ZenenAnyone got an idea of how I can resolve a human readable domain name to a local IP?02:43
rfmZenen, if it's just for the local net its easiest to use mDNS and .local names.  Ubuntu is usually set up for this, if not install and run avahi-daemon, and install libnss-mdns02:47
ZenenNice! .local seems like it would work, not ideal but this is a pretty quick-and-dirty first draft02:48
Zenenthanks for the initial direction rfm02:49

physikoiHello. How does one build/install firefox on ubuntu server without sudo? thanks16:30
alkisgYou can download and unzip the upstream tarball16:31
alkisgIts already compiled16:32
tomreynor just install the package? or does it pull in too many dependencies?16:32
tomreyn(you can use "equivs" to work around dependencies which are not strictly required)16:35
physikoihey alkisg: are you referring to these: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/? I've tried https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/90.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/, decompressing into ~/firefox, but when i execute the binary i get "Segmentation Fault" as the only output.16:38
physikoitomreyn: i don't think i can install in the regular way as I don't have sudo privileges16:38
alkisgYou said Ubuntu server, is xorg running?16:39
alkisgAlso, which Ubuntu version?16:41
physikoichecking16:44
physikoiDescription:    Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS16:44
physikoiRelease:        18.0416:44
physikoiCodename:       bionic16:44
physikoihardware is x86_6416:45
alkisgDoes `xrandr` show a list of resolutions?16:45
physikoino, just 'can't open display'16:46
alkisgTo run graphical applications, you need a graphical connection16:46
physikoii don't think xorg is running16:46
alkisgHow are you connected to this server?16:46
physikoido i need xorg? i only need to run in headless mode16:46
physikoiover ssh16:46
alkisgConnect with `ssh -X` then16:47
physikoitrying16:47
alkisgThen, run `xrandr` and verify that you get a list of resolutions16:47
alkisgTHEN try to run the firefox that you downloaded16:47
physikoiHm, with `ssh -X `, i'm getting "Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated" warning. I'll try to figure out what that's about16:48
alkisgMaybe the server admins do not allow xorg forwarding16:49
physikoiyou are probably right. it's "shared" hosting. definitely time to upgrade to VPS16:52
cbreakman xauth16:52
cbreakyou should be able to do something with nlist / nmerge I think16:52
physikoitried ssh -Y, slightly different error: "Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.16:53
physikoiX11 forwarding request failed on channel 0"16:53
physikoigotta go though. thanks for your help, but i must depart (running client locally on a laptop ... d'oh). thanks again16:54

mN-temperature of say a geforce rtx 3080s  memory junction module. The gpu can be 42C while the memory can be 100C so it would be nice to follow how it rises with overclocking20:08
mN-on windows it can be seen with HWinfo20:08
oerheksah i see, it is indeed a new temp stack, HWINFO6420:09
mN-GDDR6X memory runs very hot, so it is in interest to know temps20:10
