IrcsomeBot<Akshay Jr.> what it means by not having a release file (re @Akshay Jr.: )08:30
BluesKajHi all13:09
IrcsomeBot<AliPharzaneh> Hello guys.13:51
IrcsomeBot<AliPharzaneh> I want to increase my swap size (at the moment it is 16GB).13:51
IrcsomeBot<AliPharzaneh> I think I should decrease my ext4 partition, and relocate the unallocated space to swap partition.13:51
IrcsomeBot<AliPharzaneh> But I cannot decrease (or even increase) my ext4 partition size.13:51
IrcsomeBot<AliPharzaneh> Is there any help?13:51
IrcsomeBot<AliPharzaneh> Hello guys.13:52

IrcsomeBot<AliPharzaneh> Hello guys.13:55
IrcsomeBot<AliPharzaneh> I want to increase my swap size (at the moment it is 16GB).13:55
IrcsomeBot<AliPharzaneh> I think I should decrease my ext4 partition, and relocate the unallocated space to swap partition.13:55
IrcsomeBot<AliPharzaneh> But I cannot decrease (or even increase) my ext4 partition size (I tried GParted).13:55
IrcsomeBot<AliPharzaneh> Is there any help?13:55
IrcsomeBot<AliPharzaneh> Kubuntu 20.0413:55
IrcsomeBot<Thiago Leite> zcjq14:52
tomreynAliPharzaneh: why do you want to increase your swap size above 16 GB? how much physical memory (RAM) is installed?14:53
IrcsomeBot<ykruH> # man resize2fs | grep -A1 'shrink an ext2'14:55
IrcsomeBot<ykruH>        If  you  wish  to shrink an ext2 partition, first use resize2fs to shrink the size of filesystem.  Then you may use fdisk(8) to shrink the size of the partition.  When shrinking the size of the partition, make sure you do not14:55
tomreynAliPharzaneh: this would post your partition tables for others to look at:    sudo fdisk -l | nc termbin.com 999914:55
IrcsomeBot<ykruH>        make it smaller than the new size of the ext2 filesystem!14:55
IrcsomeBot<ykruH> I hardly doubt that online-shrinking is possible, you may need to boot from a 'LIVE-ISO' and do it from there14:55

IrcsomeBot<Omar> Im having the same problem (re @Akshay Jr.: what it means by not having a release file)15:56
Roeyhey in linux does free() actually free up ram for the rest of the OS or just for the rest of the app that allocated it?15:57
Roeylike, if I close a hundred tabs in firefox, will that free up memory for other apps, or will firefox just free that memory up (for itself)?  i.e. what is the opposite of sbrk()15:58
=== jcea1 is now known as jcea
cbreakRoey: linux has virtual memory since a long time16:40
cbreakinactive memory will be swapped out if needed, even if processes don't release it16:40
cbreakand nowadays, applications use mmap not sbrk I think16:40
Roeycbreak: ah ok.16:52
Roeyhrm.16:52
Roeyso like in my case firefox ends up consuming large amounts of RAM16:52
RoeyI hope that closing all those tabs will result in it releasing RAM back to the OS16:52
RoeyI mean I oculd just re-start Fx16:52
Roeyjust as well.16:52
user|41Everything consume now lot of ram :)16:52
user|41I remember QNX floppy disk demo ahhh16:53
user|41Or gopher jaja16:53
cbreakRoey: you can just try it :)16:55
Roey:)16:55
cbreakI use a bunch of addons, UnloadTabs, TreeStyleTabs, for example16:56
RoeyI forgot to see how much RAM it consumed before I closed all those tabs16:56
Roeyhehehe16:56
cbreakthat way I don't have to close tabs if I don't want to16:56
Roeycbreak: ahhh ok16:56
Roeycbreak: I wonder if UnloadTabs works with Panorama Tab Groups16:56
cbreakRoey: you can check about:performance16:56
cbreakit will not give you a full view on memory16:57
cbreakbut blame some of it on tabs16:57
Roeyaye16:57
Roey:)16:57
Roeycbreak: and video content tabs16:57
Roeyand anything extensive like Facebook16:57
Roeyor Youtube16:57
Roeyor Gmail16:57
cbreakand there's about:memory16:58

user|38hi18:27
user|38I unintentionally damaged my sources.list file and can't find the default one. help18:28
user|38D:18:29
arraybolt3[m]user|38: Easy to fix!18:30
arraybolt3[m]user|38: Open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T.18:30
arraybolt3[m]user|38: Now run "sudo /etc/apt/sources.list".18:30
arraybolt3[m]user|38: Let me know when you've gotten that far.18:31
user|38order not found18:31
user|38:(18:31
arraybolt3[m]user|38: Oy, I messed up the command.18:32
arraybolt3[m]user|38: "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list"18:32
user|38ok18:32
user|38done18:32
arraybolt3[m]user|38: OK, now press and hold Ctrl+K - this will wipe everything in the file. Then we can rebuild it (I've done this several times, it's easy).18:32
arraybolt3[m]user|38: Once the file is wiped, copy and paste the code from here into the file: https://pastebin.com/pFy59vzn18:34
arraybolt3[m]user|38: I just realized I should ask you, what version of Kubuntu are you on? 20.04? 22.04?18:35
arraybolt3[m](The contents of the file depend on the version of Kubuntu.)18:35
user|38thank you so much!18:36
user|38u are my hero <318:36
arraybolt3[m]user|38: What version of Kubuntu are you on?18:37
arraybolt3[m]user|38: (no problem, glad to help)18:37
user|3821.1018:37
arraybolt3[m]user|38: OK, this won't work then, don't save the file yet.18:38
user|38late18:38
arraybolt3[m]user|38: That's fine, just don't run anything with apt yet.18:38
user|38=#18:38
user|38late18:39
arraybolt3[m]user|38: OK, no problem.18:39
arraybolt3[m]user|38: I guess then we just upgraded your system to Jammy, which is good since 21.10 is EOL, so... uh... woot!18:39
user|38oh18:40
user|38ok18:40
user|38thanks18:40
arraybolt3[m]user|38: You may want to back up all your data real quick to make sure your system can be recovered if anything goes wrong.18:40
arraybolt3[m]user|38: Do you have any 3rd-party repositories (PPAs) enabled on your system?18:41
user|38yep18:42
arraybolt3[m]user|38: OK, run "sudo sed -i s/deb/#deb/ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list".18:42
arraybolt3[m]user|38: (If we've started the upgrade procedure, we should finish it right so that your system still works right.)18:42
arraybolt3[m](And that command will temporarily disable 3rd party repos so we can upgrade properly.18:43
arraybolt3[m](We'll be re-enabling them at the end of this.)18:43
oerheksoriginal /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list > sudo cp /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list /etc/apt/source.list18:46
oerheksbut universe and such are not enabled by fefault18:47
oerheksc/default18:47
arraybolt3[m]oerheks: I didn't realize he's still on Impish and we just accidentally hacky-upgraded to Jammy... so now I'm trying to recover that without breaking anything.18:47
oerheksoh oke18:47
* arraybolt3[m] makes note to self to always ask about Ubuntu version before suggesting anything with sources.list18:48
arraybolt3[m]user|38: You still here?18:51
user|38yep18:53
arraybolt3[m]user|38: OK, did you run the "sudo sed -i s/deb/#deb/ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list" command yet?18:54
user|38yes18:54
arraybolt3[m]user|38: OK, can you do "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" again so we can get 21.10 fully upgraded *before* committing to the upgrade?18:55
arraybolt3[m]user|38: Once that's open, wipe the file again and replace it with these contents: https://pastebin.com/DLTveimu18:58
arraybolt3[m]user|38: The guide I'm trying to walk you through is here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/458201/how-can-i-upgrade-ubuntu-to-newer-release-manually-without-using-update-manager If I'm not around when you're back, here's the instructions.19:39
