qtqt 2017-01-29 05:45:24
darn, I've yet to find something relevant
anddam 2017-01-29 05:46:02
qtqt: your question wasn't very clear, i figure that's why you didn't get answer
anddam 2017-01-29 05:46:16
basically you're seeing "wrong" bookmarks in Qt's file dialog
anddam 2017-01-29 05:46:47
but it's unlikely that Qt is able to read info from a deleted user, you did something in the middle (like copying prefs files for instance) but didn't say so
qtqt 2017-01-29 05:46:56
well, I meant in general. I've been looking. I just want to delete whatever has the bookmarks so it actually rechecks what i have
anddam 2017-01-29 05:47:16
do you have any ~/.qt* dir?
anddam 2017-01-29 05:47:48
if not and qt is a good citizen maybe it's in ~/.config or ~/.local/share
qtqt 2017-01-29 05:48:10
the problem is it has to be loading the configuration that was created at the time the user existed, and it keeps loading that after it doesn't exist(though to be fair it only has 2 bookmarks, "computer" and "user")
qtqt 2017-01-29 05:49:02
there's no such only .qt folder is called .qttest. when in the dialog i can manually remove and then add my bookmarks, but those changes aren't stored
qtqt 2017-01-29 05:49:16
so when I open the application again it goes back to "computer" "user"
anddam 2017-01-29 05:49:53
I don't use Qt apps
anddam 2017-01-29 05:49:57
can't really help you

qtqt, .config/QtProject.conf change the field "shortcuts". tested with vlc

Hey there. I'm currently expericing the following bug where the oom-killer decides to start killing my processes when I have more than 16GB of available memory. Is there any way I can temporarily disable the OOM killer until the bug is fixed? Running 16.04 LTS

you can boot the previous kernel, at least

I installed python3.6 from 16.10 universe, now I stays there with python3.5 that is the actual python3
Tahr-Poop 2017-01-29 06:19:31
adalbert, ddclient
anddam 2017-01-29 06:19:45
how's python/python3 selection managed, given it's not via the alternatives system?
SchrodingersScat 2017-01-29 06:21:56
adalbert: 2nding ddclient, I have it working with my namecheap account and it's pretty snazzy.

jayjo 2017-01-29 06:31:12
my installation went bust. I have a live usb, but I need to copy over my data. Once I put the live USB in I alreayd don't have that option. Any ideas?
jayjo 2017-01-29 06:31:19
How do I copy this dat over ?
jayjo 2017-01-29 06:31:36
I have several hard drives, so I could install this installaiton on a separate one and recover later. Is that the best idea?
enoch85 2017-01-29 06:32:00
hey guys, I've been told that dc3dd is better than dd when zeroing out drives to relcaim unused space. What I want to acchive is that dc3dd stops when there is about 5% space left on the device. Now, how do I do that?
anddam 2017-01-29 06:32:38
enoch85: you can estimate the amount of dd'ing you need to do using df
anddam 2017-01-29 06:32:41
and bc
akik 2017-01-29 06:32:50
jayjo: boot the live usb, then mount your disk and copy the data over
anddam 2017-01-29 06:32:52

hi all. i have ubuntu installed, and ubuntu-budgie-remix and i want to upgrade to the latest alpha2 of 17.04 on my laptop for testing ... how can i do that? if i was previously using ubuntu budgie-remix?
jayjo 2017-01-29 06:33:59
akik: so this would be "Something else" on the installation type? Or this is before that and I should've "tried ubuntu without installing". Very cautious here, the data is valuable
freakyy 2017-01-29 06:34:06
i was using budgie-remix-ubuntu-ppa-yakkety.list
enoch85 2017-01-29 06:34:09
anddam, but if I want to script this action? Then I can't tell how much is left... I'm running VMware with Ubuntu guests as thin provisioned and this is starting to become an issue as thin drives doesn't shrink when you delete files
akik 2017-01-29 06:34:28
jayjo: yes, select try ubuntu without installing. it doesn't modify your pre-existing installation
anddam 2017-01-29 06:34:43
enoch85: use a nice combination of little programs and get your number in advance
anddam 2017-01-29 06:35:05
can I have python 3.6 as default python3 in place of python 3.5 in 16.10?
anddam 2017-01-29 06:35:11
I already installed the package from universe
enoch85 2017-01-29 06:35:13
anddam, any suggestion? have you done this before?
anddam 2017-01-29 06:35:35
simple math in shell? yes
jayjo 2017-01-29 06:36:55
OK without installing I can mount the drives and see everything there. On the linux filesystem, should i just copy everything under / ? Will this allow me to install and then copy this data over and maintain the system as it was?
jayjo 2017-01-29 06:37:11
Or is that just not going to happen. Do I need to only copy vitals?
BluesKaj 2017-01-29 06:37:23
freakyy, budgie desktop on 17.04 alpha 2 would be quite "edgy" IMO ..needs some research
anddam 2017-01-29 06:37:46
jayjo: I'd rather only keep data and config
akik 2017-01-29 06:37:48
jayjo: make a copy of your valuable files on some other disk so that when you reinstall, your files won't be lost
freakyy 2017-01-29 06:38:45
no im running ubuntu 16.10 with budgie remix. what i now wanna do is upgrade this to ubuntu budgie 17.04 alpha2 ... how can i do it? :)

jayjo 2017-01-29 06:39:35
so really just my /home/user directory?
akik 2017-01-29 06:39:56
jayjo: we can not know where you store your files
jayjo 2017-01-29 06:40:41
Sure, but I'm asking more if I can actually have the machine maintain my configuration when I reinstall the OS. If that's not a thing I can do, then I would really only be able to copy over my home directory, right?
yukki 2017-01-29 06:40:53

yukki 2017-01-29 06:41:10
hola? :u
akik 2017-01-29 06:42:10
jayjo: i didn't really understand but you can copy everything from your installation when you're in the live usb
jayjo 2017-01-29 06:42:58
but I won't jsut be copying everything from / , right? including /bin, /boot, /dev, /etc, and then just replacing on the new installation, right?
jayjo 2017-01-29 06:43:27
Alright this is still much better than I was expecting. I'll just take the home dir and move on from there
