| Guest21 | Hi I'm installing ubuntu, on efi system, when doing custom partitioning, do I need to create the efi partition too? | 04:13 |
| Guest21 | I'm not dual booting | 04:16 |
| eMaks | yes you would need efi partition | 04:17 |
| Guest21 | ok | 04:19 |
| Guest21 | How big should / be for a normal desktop system | 04:19 |
| Guest21 | 64GB enough or would I need more? | 04:19 |
| Guest21 | Mostly just desktop apps, IDEs, dev env. etc. | 04:19 |
| Guest21 | In fact, I think no. I want to probably use containers for dev env. instead of keep them on my system in case something goes wrong | 04:20 |
| KushalKumaran[m] | Guest21: you might need more, depending on what development you are planning. Use LVM (and leave space unallocated) so you're able to change later | 04:21 |
| Guest21 | what is lvm | 04:21 |
| Guest21 | and can you do lvm while installing as custom parittions? | 04:22 |
| Guest21 | I see option to install with lvm but in guided partition only | 04:22 |
| Guest21 | Right now my currently installed ubuntu 22 disk, fully desktop apps and all that, seems like 28gb used, I'll make it 64 | 04:23 |
| Guest21 | If I make / bigger, like 128 or something and it doesn't get used, that space goes to waste. | 04:23 |
| Guest21 | So I'm trying to think hard on how much I might use in my normal daily use, how large my / has been for past few years etc. | 04:24 |
| Guest21 | If I do custom using btrfs, I don't see the lvm option | 04:24 |
| KushalKumaran[m] | Been a while since I did a new Ubuntu install. But I believe the installer configures LVM by default. Info on LVM is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm | 04:24 |
| KushalKumaran[m] | Docs on installing with lvm (although for Ubuntu server) : https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/storage | 04:26 |
| Guest21 | I think btrfs like zfs uses its own volume management | 04:26 |
| Guest21 | Probably not going to be compatible with it | 04:26 |
| Guest21 | https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/254286/does-it-make-sense-to-put-btrfs-on-lvm | 04:27 |
| KushalKumaran[m] | Perhaps someone else can speak about btrfs. What little I know seems to indicate you won't need lvm if you're using btrfs. If it allows shrink/grow of file systems, you can choose whatever size you feel you need. You can just resize later. | 04:28 |
| Guest21 | https://fedoramagazine.org/choose-between-btrfs-and-lvm-ext4/ | 04:28 |
| Guest21 | hmm | 04:29 |
| Guest21 | I'm trying to understand all this stuff! | 04:29 |
| Guest21 | Interesting | 04:30 |
| Guest21 | So LVM is like collections of disks > partitions > volume group > logical volume > file systems | 04:30 |
| Guest21 | Logical volumes can also be cached volumes for systems with both fast and slow drives. A classic example is a combination of SSD and spinning-disk drives. Cached volumes use faster drives for more frequently accessed data (or as a write cache), and the slower drive for bulk data. | 04:32 |
| Guest21 | So I can turn part of my nvme ssd, 1289gb or so, into a cache volume for my mechanical hdds? | 04:33 |
| Guest21 | Just one or many hdds can share one cache volume | 04:33 |
| Guest21 | This is interesting | 04:33 |
| Guest21 | https://i.imgur.com/l61pKMt.png | 04:39 |
| Guest21 | It always leaves 1MB free space at beginning | 04:40 |
| murmel | Guest21: any reason having 2 partitions with btrfs? | 04:41 |
| Guest21 | Yes | 04:41 |
| Guest21 | In case I need to reinstall or something, I can do it without touching/affecting /home | 04:41 |
| Guest21 | don't want to put /home inside / on the same partition | 04:41 |
| murmel | Guest21: you normally set up subvolumes for that, can still keep home around then | 04:42 |
| Guest21 | I'm going by whatever is in the ubuntu installer | 04:43 |
| murmel | okay, just telling you how btrfs is normally used | 04:43 |
| Guest21 | Where in the Ubuntu installer can I make subvolumes? | 04:43 |
| murmel | Guest21: the ubuntu installer doesn't support it | 04:44 |
| Guest21 | Then why tell me about it? | 04:44 |
| murmel | Guest21: why would i not tell you how to use <tech> properly | 04:44 |
| Guest21 | I've seen you troll and argue with other people online. Please don't do that with me. | 04:45 |
| murmel | Guest21: do whatever you want, just wanted to tell you to use btrfs in a better way. | 04:45 |
| murmel | and you are definitely not talking about me when talking about trolling, but I guess I move on | 04:46 |

| peepsalot | i've waited and retried (at least an hour i think since I first saw it) but still get the same error. | 06:03 |
| Guest21 | Interesting | 06:06 |
| Guest21 | It seems if you install ubuntu 22 with btrfs as / (single partition) it creates two volume groups | 06:06 |
| Guest21 | @ and @home | 06:07 |
| Guest21 | kubuntu@kubuntu:~/1$ sudo btrfs subvolume list . | 06:08 |
| Guest21 | ID 256 gen 24 top level 5 path @ | 06:08 |
| Guest21 | ID 257 gen 17 top level 5 path @home | 06:08 |
| Guest21 | I am still inside the installer, haven't rebooted after installing. | 06:08 |
| Guest21 | Why does it say id 5 for them both, 5 is reserved for top level / isn't it? | 06:08 |
| Guest21 | IDs are diff though, 256/257 | 06:09 |
| murmel | ids are the important ones | 06:09 |
| Guest21 | Looks like Ubuntu install does it. I thought I might have to mount it, move home to home1, create subvolume, and then move home back to it, etc. | 06:09 |
| Guest21 | I don't think this is documented as I couldn't find it in any ubuntu installation guide | 06:10 |
| Guest21 | sorry not volume groups, subvolumes | 06:11 |
| Guest21 | I read all about it, seems like pretty cool features. Though I'm not sure I'll be using them | 06:11 |
| Guest21 | snapshots, timeshift, compression, cow, etc. etc. | 06:11 |
| murmel | what does snapshots have to do with subvolumes to use or not Oo | 06:12 |
| Guest21 | I'm sure you can figure it out. | 06:12 |
| Guest21 | I believe in you. | 06:12 |
| murmel | you have to figure it out, as snapshots only snapshot the subvolume you chose, not any below it | 06:13 |
| Guest21 | https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SysadminGuide#Subvolumes you can start here | 06:14 |

| Hash | just restore .config/google-chrome I guess, hopefully cookies come back. | 17:37 |
| Hash | Having to relogin everywhere is a hard task. | 17:37 |
| tomreyn | i'm not familiar with google chrome, but if it's a non snap installation, ~/.config/google-chrome/ could be the right place. | 17:39 |
| Hash | Yeah, non snap. Yuou get the x64 .deb from google.com | 17:39 |
| Hash | tomreyn: hey bud, check /msg when you get a chance. I gotta get zfs up so I can access my mirror again, then copy over my files. Over 12+ years, accumulated over 7gb of .dotfiles/dirs in ~. Feels unclean/dirty, want to start a new user account, but migrate my keys, kdewallet, gnupg etc. stuff | 17:42 |
| Hash | So what I did was, in case anyone wants a much faster way to install | 17:45 |
| Hash | I downloaded latest 22 iso, grub customizer program, create a new grub boot entry to load the .ISO directly, initrd and the kernel | 17:46 |
| tomreyn | Hash: i drop /msg by default, prefer talking in channels. i won't be able to help with ZFS much, but creating a new user account should be easy, you can even do so on the GUI. | 17:46 |
| Hash | So now instead of making a slwo usb install, I can just install ubuntu anytime from hdd, and it always is there | 17:46 |

| tomreyn | Guest92: oh, yes, you're right. well, maybe there's another gnome-shell extension which does. you can also use custom CSS files if I recall correctly. | 18:16 |
| Guest92 | can't find | 18:24 |
| tomreyn | my personal take on gneom-shell modifications is: do not (or as little as possible) touch a mostly kind of running system | 18:26 |
| tomreyn | that's a bit sad, but most of all i really want it to just work. | 18:27 |

| Guest92 | python blender problem | 18:59 |
| Guest92 | io_thps_scene-blender2.8 exists in /home/ronalds/.config/blender/2.83/scripts/addons/ | 19:00 |
| Guest92 | blender says no module named io_thps_scene-blender2.8 | 19:00 |
| Guest92 | exists | 19:00 |
| Guest92 | when I try to enable it | 19:01 |
| tomreyn | Guest92: there's a blender irc channel, i think, probably also here on libera.chat. blender version 2.83 is not available in ubuntu (other than by an outdated snap) | 19:03 |
| oerheks | ubuntu focal gives 2.8.2 .. so where does 2.8.3 come from? | 19:04 |
| cbreak | downloading 3 from the official page is trivial too | 19:04 |
| saltd | UPTIME: 0 days, 0 hours, 46 minutes | 19:14 |

| Guest92 | I seem to not be able to install windows 11 from ubuntu 22.04 in virtualbox | 19:30 |
| Guest92 | I select all correct settings and it says minimum req does not meet | 19:30 |
| Guest92 | I have amd ryzen 5 with nvidia gtx 1650 with 8 gb of ram | 19:31 |
| Guest92 | I give 6 cores, enough ram and all that other stuff | 19:31 |
| Guest92 | any tips? | 19:32 |
| oerheks | try the virtualbox channels? i have no idea about windows, obviously | 19:32 |
| oerheks | i would use KVM/virt-manager for VM's | 19:33 |
| rfm | Guest92, Windows 11 requires a TPM, and virtualbox doesn't provided one in VMs. There have been various ways to force W11 to install without one but I think Microsoft has plugged them all now. | 19:38 |
| Guest92 | so any vm works? | 19:39 |
| rfm | Guest92, I don't know.. | 19:39 |
| oerheks | ' any' ? | 19:39 |
| Guest92 | is there a virtual machine that works | 19:42 |
| nunja | Are there any good "one stop shop" guides for learning ubuntu / linux? There are too many resources out there and they are spread out all over the place | 19:42 |
| oerheks | nunja, good start is https://help.ubuntu.com/ | 19:43 |
| nunja | I don't know if I can take another article that starts with "type 'ls'. congratulations you just used the command line for the first time!!" | 19:44 |
| nunja | Thank you oerheks. | 19:45 |
| oerheks | there are many blogs, some good, some worse .. populair is https://fullcirclemagazine.org/ | 19:47 |
| coconut | nunja, maybe you like tldr instead for man pages? | 19:48 |
| nunja | these are very helpful. thank you | 19:49 |
| nunja | I dabbled in RedHat a long time ago. I'm somewhat familiar and could use a crash course | 19:50 |

| dwigton | Does the Ubuntu Software app work for anyone? This is my second install, 20.04 and 22.04, where searching or selecting a category to browse, just spins or shows placeholder ellipses. I can use the commandline fine, but that makes discovery a bit harder. | 21:15 |
| Sven_vB | hi :) | 21:15 |
| Unit193 | dwigton: Don't quote me on this, but I think that targets snaps more? If you want a not-so-user-friendly UI there's always synaptic of course. There's also GNOME's software center. | 21:17 |
| dwigton | Unit193: Yeah, that is part of why I want to use it. To be able to compare dpkg to snaps for things I want to keep closer to the bleeding edge. | 21:18 |
| Unit193 | Gotcha. Sorry I can't help, never used it myself. | 21:19 |
| Sven_vB | I'm using Ubuntu focal with VLC media player 3.0.9.2 Vetinari. When launching a movie file in Thunar, or dragging a movie file from Thunar onto a playing VLC window, the current media is stopped and replaced with the new playback. Usually, this is what I want, but sometimes it happens by accident. However, a streaming software I use with it disconnects when VLC stops reading from its pipe, and reconnecting takes about a minute. is there a way to | 21:20 |
| Sven_vB | launch a VLC instance in some kind of "protective" mode, i.e. never re-use this window for external activations from Thunar? | 21:20 |
| remline | I never could get the graphical software centers to work, but that encouraged me to learn how to use 'apt' command line. :) | 21:20 |
| dwigton | I think that is probably the answer unfortunately. No one uses it so who cares if it is broken. | 21:20 |
| Unit193 | I'm sure quite a few people do, I'm just an oddball. :) | 21:21 |
| dwigton | Do you avoid snaps? | 21:22 |
| Unit193 | Yes I'm one of those people. :) | 21:22 |
| Sven_vB | maybe I have an idea: would it help to run the stream software's VLC in the same Xorg session but as another user? | 21:23 |
| dwigton | Is there a reason, so I can be one of those people too? | 21:23 |
| Sven_vB | I avoid snaps because snapd sometimes suddenly takes up lots of CPU | 21:23 |
| Unit193 | dwigton: If they work for you, I wouldn't avoid them. | 21:23 |
| Sven_vB | so actually I avoid snapd, and thus can't use snaps. | 21:23 |
| Unit193 | There are many reasons people chose to not use it, I don't think giving people a list to choose from is helpful. One can always find an aspect to dislike on something. :) | 21:24 |
| dwigton | I generally just apt-cache search, by that doesn't have the same discoverability. | 21:24 |
| remline | My computer was too slow to handle snaps. | 21:25 |
| dwigton | Unit193: I was tongue in cheek. Most wondering if there was something glaring I was unaware of like "Snaps include a keylogger that send all your passwords straight to Shuttleworth and the rest of the reptilians." | 21:26 |
| Unit193 | dwigton: Nah, some just don't like it because it updates without user prompting, can't be deferred or whatnot. Some because they're too large of a download and they have restricted internet, or because terminal applications via snap aren't as easy to use, or patching is harder, etc, etc. | 21:27 |
| dwigton | Ah, those are reasonable. Still it can be nice to have the latest gimp or other that I don't script. | 21:33 |
| remline | dwigton: Yeah, to me, the pros and cons are about equal. The tradeoffs seem very reasonable. On my laptop, its just too slow though. | 21:34 |
| Unit193 | Some things are available via -backports, but yes very very few. | 21:37 |
| dwigton | Well, one other trade-off, I can't get the @()$%#^ snap-store to work! | 21:39 |
| Unit193 | You can use snap directly to get something, though. There's an online interface to display what's avilable. | 21:39 |
| === Bitflux is now known as Byteflux | ||
| dwigton | True. I have just trained my brain on apt-cache and can't ever seem to remember the snap commands. Takes me 30 seconds to go look it up, by then I have been distracted by twitter. | 21:41 |
