[01:31] Like... I understand that it's a "minimized" version, but which server distro does not ship with ping :/ [01:48] And no `nc` either :O [01:49] `dpkg -l | wc -l` results in 427 packages, so props to the Ubuntu team for enabling such a minimal install, but how would I even figure out why I don't have network access lol :D [01:50] * ForeverNoob[m] uploaded an image: (29KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/TOZDlTtavSBFNQBOxFmvpePc/Screenshot_Ubuntu_Server_22.04.1_2022-10-31_02%3A50%3A18__no_network.png > [01:50] Like... how do I even deal with this? :D [01:57] ForeverNoob[m]: Did you want help or are you just venting? [01:58] @jhutchins: A bit of both I guess. I'm now trying the `unminimize` command and see how that goes. [01:59] ForeverNoob[m]: Just the nic to highlight it for the user. @ is for twits. [01:59] er, tweets that is. [01:59] Oh huh, I didn't know my Matrix client was passing the "@" along. That's interesting. [02:00] ForeverNoob[m]: also, please don't post pictures here. Use imgur.com or something. The vast majority of this channel is on IRC. Not Matrix [02:00] ForeverNoob[m]: Not sure what "minimized server" you installed, but I would think most would include networking. I take it you have wifi. Open ssid? [02:00] jhutchins:libera.chat: Test. How does this nick mention look like? [02:00] Does the wifi do DHCP? [02:01] ForeverNoob[m]: Higlighted properly, thanks. [02:01] ForeverNoob[m]: what did you install ubuntu on exactly? What hardware? VM? Docker? VPS? [02:01] (You can also drop the network, just "jhutchins" will do. Most clients will autocomplete a current nic. [02:02] leftyfb:libera.chat: Are they not hosted on an external URL like imgur pics are? The images should be hosted on matrix.org but I don't really know how it looks like from the IRC side. [02:02] ForeverNoob[m]: it looks like garbage [02:02] Matrix is the worst thing to ever happen to IRC [02:03] jhutchins: Ah ok, that means my client is basically passing pretty much everything to IRC. [02:04] leftyfb: Depends on the client perhaps :p [02:04] ForeverNoob[m]: right, in IRC client, Matrix looks like garbage. I'm sure it looks fine in Matrix clients [02:05] Ok, I'll try to keep it as IRC compatible as possible then :) [02:06] (I partially blame the Matrix ecosystem for not having a decent terminal client) [02:07] There must be an official Ubuntu channel on Matrix out of this one, maybe a non official on discord too, though discord is not open source. [02:08] even as graphical IRC goes, the Matrix people don't really seem to "grok" IRC :) [02:08] but it's not really relevant here [02:11] I'm just glad I can have a free IRC bouncer with added decentralized features on top ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [02:11] But indeed, pretty off-topic for here I think. [02:11] ForeverNoob[m]: irssi is pretty much the definitive text client for irc. Very adaptable and customizable, easy to run in a screen or tmux session. [02:11] ForeverNoob[m]: if you think think the server disto doesn't include some necessary tools, it's probably better to discuss it in #ubuntu-server or so [02:12] On the other hand, getting basic networking connected ought to be topical enough. [02:12] ForeverNoob[m]: what did you install ubuntu on exactly? What hardware? VM? Docker? VPS? [02:12] Might not be anybody qualified though. [02:13] If you're sick of irssi, try bitchx : [02:13] leftyfb: It's a VM, and the image is `ubuntu-22.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso` [02:13] cartdrige: Does it do non-GUI? [02:13] ForeverNoob[m]: a VM on what hypervisor? [02:13] ForeverNoob[m]: and what OS is the host running? [02:13] KVM / Qemu via virt-manager. Host = Ubuntu 18.04 [02:14] ForeverNoob[m]: the lack of network is due to your KVM network settings [02:14] jhutchins, it's a joke, it's an old linux textmode client. i think it's not even packaged anymore on Ubuntu. [02:14] That's strange, during installation it had networking just fine. [02:15] ForeverNoob[m]: how did you determine that? [02:15] ForeverNoob[m]: Good luck. [02:16] ForeverNoob[m]: I would recommend installing without the "minimal" config [02:16] leftyfb: At one point it said that subiquity installer was out of date, and whether I wanted to download an update, which I did. [02:19] These are the current networking settings: https://0x0.st/oY9Y.png [02:21] downloading that update might actually lead to the install failing :P [02:21] Oh wut [02:21] it was obviously never testen on systems with limited disk space... [02:22] tested [02:22] none of subiquity was [02:22] I assigned it a 20 G virtual drive though [02:23] `du -hs /` only came up with 4.3 G === realivanjx6 is now known as realivanjx [02:26] then it should be fine I guess (even if 4.3G is insane for a basic server install) [02:28] Compared to my usual Ubuntu installations I was actually quite impressed by that figure :p [02:28] (though most of those installations were admittedly aimed for the desktop) [02:30] not that long ago, an Ubuntu desktop install was <3 GB [02:32] /nivk spirox === felipe is now known as spirox [02:34] /list === shokohsc7 is now known as shokohsc [02:41] JanC: How long ago was that though? I somewhat remember vanilla 16.04 being pretty storage beefy. [02:42] it depends on the desktop you choose etc. [02:44] xubuntu core i hear good things about for a minimal desk [02:46] I actually am one of the main testing guys for it, and it looks extremely good for a minimal system. [02:47] The one tricky part is that you have to install a web browser yourself, since it comes with just shy of *nothing*. Which is the whole point. [02:47] arraybolt3: so how much disk space does it need ? [02:48] ...I actually haven't checked... [02:48] I know it fits quite comfortably on my 16 GB converted Chromebook. [02:48] Here lemme check real quick, I have an ISO right here. [02:49] The ISO is 1.3 GB, which makes it dwarfed even by Lubuntu. [02:49] i know ubuntu needs 8GB+ free disk to install, does xubuntu core give a warning arraybolt3 ? [02:49] Let's find out. [02:49] (to be fair one of my main problem with the subiquity server installer is that it will happily start installing an Ubuntu server on a 4 GiB disk, and than crash out without a proper error message because it runs out of disk space...) [02:50] Guys: https://unit193.net/xubuntu/core/ :D [02:50] ^ +1 [02:51] That's where I download it from. Unit193 is one of the main Xubuntu developers (and also happens to be Libera.Chat staff too). [02:51] so I was rather looking for a proper server installer... [02:52] JanC: Oh. Hmm... If the server installer isn't working, I'm not sure if there's a whole lot you can do about that. [02:52] arraybolt3: it's completely ridiculous [02:53] I asked in the #ubuntu-server channel, and if I don't find any luck there I'll just install it again (but this time the "unminimized" version) [03:01] OK so Xubuntu Core leaves about 956 MB of space if you install it on an 8 GiB disk. [03:01] s/MB/MiB/ (because that matters in 2022 Linux Land, grumble) [03:26] thats bigger then i expected arraybolt3 [03:27] tnx for testing it [03:28] ive tested that on earlier lubuntu releases on a 8GB ssd, but i couldnt get past the 8GB warning, even if lubuntu installed less [03:29] Bigger than I thought too. I guess Ubuntu isn't the best for super minimal machines. [03:29] I have an Arch installation that fits in under 4 GB... but this is #ubuntu-discuss territory I think. === VIA is now known as V1A [03:53] !ping [03:53] Great my server fell over.

Day 3 of tinkering with Linux distros is about to begin :) [10:34] I wonder why "find / -type f | wc -l" finds about a million files on the distros I tried. Are there really so many regular files in a normal Linux setup? [10:36] a million souns a bit exaggerated ... but yeah, there are quite a lot of files [10:38] gues lot of these files are sysfs stuff [10:38] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sysfs [10:38] beuys, though there is one thing you should lern about linux/unix systems ... "everything is a file" ... that means you will also find representations of your hardware on the filesystm, and there is probably a ton of files that just provide switches and toggles for these devices [10:39] so not every file you see is actually a physical file [10:39] ... but a file representation of a setting or a device [10:40] like kkkssf said, there are the /proc and the /sys filesystems that provide the above, in a "find" call you should exclude these dirs [10:41] (also /dev should be excluded) [10:43] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procfs [10:44] on my system procfs + sysfs are about 300k virtual files [11:04] yep ... and probably another few 100 in /dev [11:05] kkkssf: "df -i" might show the number of real files. Under "IUsed". === diskin is now known as Guest4237 === diskin_ is now known as diskin === lotuspsychje__ is now known as lotuspsychje [11:34] if you add -xdev after / it will avoid descending into other filesystems, like /proc and /sys [11:45] geirha: That brings it down to 300k files. [11:45] geirha: Same ballpark "df -i" outputs under IUsed. [11:46] What might be the better number? "df -i" IUsed or "find / -type f -xdev | wc"? [11:46] Without the "-type f" the numbers are very close together. [11:48] without the -type f you are cunting symlinks to actual files i.e. non-physical files that just point to another file [11:48] ogra: Which might be intended. [11:48] and the find will count hardlinks to the same file multiple times [11:48] right [12:18] hardlinks are from evil in fs housekeeping [12:20] Are there any known issues with file roller not handling bzip2 files correctly?

If bzip2 is not supported then it should not present the extract option for those files.

[20:25] I know [20:25] I still want gnome 43 [20:25] that's all [20:25] :)) [20:25] update to 22.10 [20:25] upgrade to 22.10 Kinetic for gnome 43 [20:26] Other options? [20:26] Like a repo for this? [20:27] no [20:28] :( [20:28] rip === realivanjx3 is now known as realivanjx === realivanjx1 is now known as realivanjx [20:46] varaindemian, i'd try flatpak gnome-boxes [20:46] ioria: hmm [20:47] varaindemian, https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Boxes [20:47] any reason to not just snap install gnome-bboxes ? [20:47] it's 42 [20:47] (at least you get something canonical maintained with that) [20:47] ah [20:48] * ogra didnt get that this was about the 43 version of gnome-boxes [20:48] (i though it was about running gnome 43 in boxes 🙂 ) [20:48] so you suggest to install a virual machine to get gnome? [20:48] i guess ioria ment to use a VM to not trash yur main install [20:48] *your [20:49] yep [20:49] why not just upgrade to 22.10 ? [21:01] Guys how do you search with grep for TEXT space TEXT? [21:01] so it's a text with 2 words with space between them [21:01] specifically I am using pdfgrep but I suppose it's the same with grep [21:05] dante: Try quoting the string including the space, or using standard "escape" characters like text\ text [21:06] dante: If that fails, check the man page. === zakalwe` is now known as zakalwe [21:28] that didnt work jhutchins [21:34] dante: Does pdfgrep have a man page? Try "man pdfgrep" and see if it has anything interesting. === gschanuel0 is now known as gschanuel === zareem5 is now known as zareem [21:56] dante: You may actually have to dive in to "Regular Expressions". [22:02] I wonder what pdfgrep does if your pdf is 100% graphical? [22:04] The 'strings' command might also be useful, and could be piped through (e)grep. [22:05] I have many videos in a folder, is there any easy way to check their total duration at once ? [22:07] Enissay: No. [22:08] Enissay: File size does not equal (is not directly proportionate to) runtime, runtime is often in the metadata, but not in a way that would be easy to parse and total. [22:09] Grrrrr, thank you ;-) [22:18] you could probably script something through ffmpeg to get the lenght [22:19] Enissay, https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/587646/how-to-get-the-total-duration-of-all-video-files-in-current-folder-and-sub-direc [22:20] (first hit on google 🙂 ) [22:22] ogra: Haha, I have already looked and user a different search which didnt yield what I wanted... [22:22] Then I made my own loop to get it xD [22:22] ogra: Thanks [22:22] 🙂 [22:23] Though, the question was if anything can show it directly... I recall, in windows, VLC tells me the total duration when I drag a folder to it [22:23] I tried here and didnt show anything [22:23] Anyhow [22:29] helo! === realivanjx0 is now known as realivanjx [22:46] good evening! How do i typically check whether or not there is a newer version of a piece of software out there, without necessary doing the update? To get an idea of how far behind i am [22:47] We can take git as an example. git --version at my place says 2.25.1 [22:52] sybariten, you usually do not get any version updates within an Ubuntu release [22:52] only minor fixes and security updates [22:52] so your git version will stay more or less the same [22:53] sybariten: in terminal> apt policy {package-name} [22:53] But that is only accurate after apt update otherwise it doesn't know what the current version is [22:55] hi === funhouse__ is now known as funhouse [23:43] ravage: oh! I have to admit i didnt know that, hehe. [23:44] so i'll just.... leave it at that then. === gschanuel9 is now known as gschanuel === zareem2 is now known as zareem
