| Chicken_Wrap | Yep. | 00:01 |
| Chicken_Wrap | Gedit is graphical. | 00:01 |

| april2018 | that would be why I needed to use nano bit I have used vi before but nano reminds me how to use it :-P | 00:02 |
| april2018 | thanks all for the hints | 00:02 |

| * ojlima Can anyone help me, I'm installing a notebook with 16GB of RAM and SSD256Gb. what is better to use swap partition, file or not. | 01:00 | |
| oerheks | 18.04 uses swapfile as standard, that will do fine. | 01:01 |
| Bashing-om | ojlima: What release are you installing .. some swap is cheap insurance . | 01:01 |
| luketheduke1 | I thought swap wasn't recommended on an SSD? https://askubuntu.com/questions/652337/why-no-swap-partitions-on-ssd-drives | 01:02 |
| lotuspsychje | luketheduke1: depends on your ram | 01:02 |
| oerheks | meh, white spots are no real problem anymore, and trim is automatic activated | 01:02 |
| tomreyn | MTBF for SSDs and HDDs is about the same nowasays. Swap on SSD is not an issue unless the SSD > 5 years old. | 01:07 |

| lokus | hello. ubuntu 18.04. i'm fresh installing to a very old friends laptop (celeron n2840/2gb ddr2). the machine was first in UEFI mode and after ubuntu completed install from USB, the system couldn't actually boot its install. so rather than mess with it i put the BIOS to legacy mode and reinstalled. but this time, during the GUI installer my trackpad no longer worked. i thought it would be fixed | 01:54 |
| lokus | after install finished but it still doesnt? i fully updated | 01:54 |
| Dreaman | all repos on or | 01:56 |
| lokus | me? default repos on, i haven't changed anything | 01:57 |
| Dreaman | see nonfree | 01:57 |
| lokus | thx, looking up | 01:57 |
| Dreaman | settings see | 01:57 |
| lokus | the one thing i noticed is that, when the USB installer booted in UEFI mode it came up with a text installer, to choose whether i want to try ubuntu or install it- i picked install and then it came up with a GUI where trackpad worked. when i booted the legacy BIOS installer from usb, there was no text menu to choose try ubuntu/install ubuntu. it was a GUI selection. but the trackpad was already | 01:58 |
| lokus | not working here.. | 01:58 |
| Dreaman | no | 01:58 |
| Dreaman | uefi | 01:58 |
| Dreaman | use terminal to update | 01:59 |
| lokus | multiverse was enabled | 02:00 |
| lokus | (nonfree) | 02:00 |
| Dreaman | change server | 02:01 |
| lokus | i don't understand still what misconfiguration here is going to fix the problem. what package am i missing? | 02:02 |
| Dreaman | fresh install | 02:03 |
| Dreaman | interesting | 02:03 |
| Dreaman | old pc | 02:03 |
| lokus | weird to me that if BIOS is configured in UEFI mode, all is fine. in legacy mode, trackpad doesnt work | 02:04 |
| Dreaman | my laptop work | 02:05 |
| Dreaman | no idea | 02:05 |
| lokus | hmm might be a bios issue actually with this hunk of junk. apparently an update may fix | 02:08 |
| ubuntu_ | hello_world! Does anyone know how to reset the Ubuntu live installer? It had an error during installation and when I try to run it again it does not let me change partitioning settings. | 02:11 |
| ubuntu_ | Or does anyone know the name of the package for the installer (if it has one) | 02:13 |
| === guiverc_t is now known as guiverc | ||
| guiverc | ubuntu_, why not used `gparted` to partition as you want, then install with 'something else' using existing partitions (you specify them) | 02:19 |
| guiverc | ps: if you are having glitches with installer, I'd ensure you checksum'd the iso etc ubuntu_ | 02:20 |
| bob98 | where would I find a log from Firefox's Browser Console? | 02:43 |
| antergos8382 | what's the reason for installing snaps as sudo? | 02:49 |
| lotuspsychje | antergos8382: installing packages on ubuntu always requier sudo | 02:51 |
| antergos8382 | lotuspsychje, why do linux users complain about windows always running root then? i have to use sudo root commands to install. why can't it just install as a user? flatpaks don't ask for root permissions | 02:53 |
| guiverc | i don't know antergos8382, but some unconfined [legacy?] snaps can adjust/touch [fs] system files | 02:54 |
| devyJava | Hello! We have a Ubuntu machine at home whose GUI is completely broken. ctrl+alt+f2 does not bring up the termianl window although the machine is running. Anyone know a possible fix? | 03:15 |
| sadneophyte | Hey I was wondering if there was a problem with wpasupplicant and if anyone had a fix for it! | 03:18 |
| guiverc | devyJava, you can disable the terminals (reduce the number, or add more) - you haven't done this have you? also crtl+alt+f2 does nothing currently on mine, but f3 & others do... I'd boot single mode (removing 'quiet splash' to see if messages provide a clue), check disk space (gui can have issues if there is no space in $HOME) etc | 03:26 |
| devyJava | guiverc, the machine is actually at work and by mistake I worded it incorrectly. It's running an Ethereum miner on it and continously mining block. Co-worker told me we can SSH to it and see (1/2) | 03:31 |
| devyJava | it's actually working but the GUI is completely broken. I don't understand the part of reducing terminals. Tomorrow morning, I will scan through Ctrl+Alt+F2-F12 to see if any return a response but I don't think it will. Removing quiet splash sounds interesting and will do it the next time the machine begins working. I have a hunch the contionous etherum miner has filled up the HDD which caused the GUI to break down. Do you happen to know a method top | 03:31 |
| devyJava | of your head on how to find space via ssh?(2/2) | 03:31 |
| bob98 | what command would give me computer's current ip on its lan as well as its routers ip on wan (which is also a dynamic ip)? | 03:33 |
| guiverc | devyJava, a gui needs space in $HOME (/home/user) for temporary files; it generally will continue if already logged in, but login-loops if there is no free space for temporary space. to check you login via tty (or ssh) & `df` will show you have enough space - you just delete files (it's in the user directories you need this space if it's this) | 03:36 |
| devyJava | guiverc, Thank you. I will check out df to see if there is free space. If there happens to be free space, what's my next best option to fix it? | 03:38 |
| guiverc | if not [free] space, graphics is the next most common culprit (I can't help there sorry) ; next is possibly user having done something... | 03:40 |
| antergos8382 | bob98, ip addr show, for yours | 03:44 |
| antergos8382 | been a while. seems irc is so dead these days. did everyone run off to discord? | 03:45 |
| sadneophyte | does anyone know why network manager might only let me connect to open wifi? | 03:46 |
| sadneophyte | this is happening in 18.04 | 03:46 |
| bob98 | antergos8382: "ip addr show" showed a comp's ip on its lan, but not comp's router's ip on wan | 03:48 |
| antergos8382 | whatever your ip is the router is likely *.*.*.1 | 03:49 |
| antergos8382 | ip route show default | 03:49 |
| bob98 | antergos8382: no, I mean what ip is assigned by dhcp lease by an isp | 03:50 |
| sadneophyte | So, I can take my networkmanager settings for 16.04 and bring them over to 18.04 and they stop working. It almost seems like wpasupplicant is failing | 03:50 |
| antergos8382 | bob98, host myip.opendns.com resolver1.opendns.com | 03:51 |
| sadneophyte | but the card connects perfectly with unsecured networks | 03:54 |
| devyJava | guiverc, thank you. I'm going to sleep now. I hope you have a a good one | 03:57 |
| bob98 | antergos8382: so this approach queries opendns server rather than an isp's server for the current dynamic ip; it is a good option. However, in a case where a lan router is rented from an isp, put on dynamic assignment and the isp's dhcp lease is also dynamicaly assigned, I was wondering if I could get both changing ip's with one command by just quering the isp's server | 04:00 |

| guiverc | bob98, (very belated sorry) i've seen tons of scripts (blogged about) that detect your external-ip-addr; i've never taken notice of them | 04:22 |
| bob98 | guiverc: any idea how to track down such a script; if it is convinient - why not use it? | 04:23 |
| headless_nick | bob98: trivial | 04:25 |
| guiverc | bob98, other than a search engine, not really. i'd likely have read it via liferea (my rss feeds) but as I've no use for it, I couldn't tell you where/when.. | 04:25 |
| guiverc | (other than i've seen different approaches a number of times...) | 04:26 |
| headless_nick | just wget and parse | 04:26 |
| headless_nick | very trivial | 04:26 |
| headless_nick | <img class="icono" alt="ip" src="/img/globe_network.png"><span id="ip"> | 04:26 |
| bob98 | maybe there is a way to make the ip command give a more elegant answer than by "ip addr show"? | 04:28 |
| bob98 | headless_nick: could you explain that? | 04:29 |
| guiverc | bob98, try `dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com` (this may be what antergos8382 was talking about; i wasn't watching) | 04:32 |
| bob98 | guiverc: that gives the ip of opendns's server itself :( | 04:35 |
| antergos8382 | bob98, it gives your wan ip, or should | 04:37 |
| oerheks | ifconfig | grep inet && curl -s icanhazip.com | 04:43 |
| bob98 | oerheks: that's elegant :) everything in one place! | 04:53 |
| deusexmachina | heh | 04:54 |
| deusexmachina | that should be a script in /usr/bin | 04:55 |
| bob98 | antergos8382: I guess I confused the two ip's given by the command you suggested, sorry :) | 04:57 |
| bob98 | btw, could you help a newbie, further his knowledge of bash with a good refference on usage of operators like: "&&, ||, |, @" etc.? | 04:59 |
