Razva 2017-02-23 03:59:44
one of the things I enjoy with Microsoft RDC is the fact that the remote desktop "syncs" with the local device: same resolution, sound etc. is there any VNC app that can do this for Ubuntu/Lubuntu, except x2go?
azizLIGHT 2017-02-23 04:01:03
EriC^^: i downgraded those in the list to ubuntu repo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24053421/
azizLIGHT 2017-02-23 04:01:33
now what shall i do
azizLIGHT 2017-02-23 04:01:49
i am pretty sure a lot of my packages have gone missing, and some are still on some kind of git
azizLIGHT 2017-02-23 04:06:14
how do i do apt-cache policy of all packages on system
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:07:20
azizLIGHT: good job!
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:07:58
azizLIGHT: dpkg -l | awk '$1 == "ii" { print $2 }' | xargs apt-cache policy | grep -C10 someppa
mahakal 2017-02-23 04:09:31
EriC^^ : i want to try REMnux disro based on ubuntu .But instead of providing ISO image its downlid file is "virtual appliance file in ova format"..How can i use it on ubuntu 14.04
azizLIGHT 2017-02-23 04:11:36
EriC^^: thanks, working through the mess bit by bit :P
craptalk 2017-02-23 04:11:48
my RAM is 8 gb, but linux says it 7,2. how does it possible? is it being used by other things related to RAM requirement?
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:12:27
mahakal: download the file then load it in virtualbox
mcphail 2017-02-23 04:12:44
craptalk: do you have integrated graphics?
mahakal 2017-02-23 04:14:06
EriC^^ : My laptop is 4gb ram ,pentiium quad core SO which would be good choice virtualBox vs VMware .
azizLIGHT 2017-02-23 04:14:39
EriC^^: how can i find from this those packages who are not Installed: ubuntu
bekks 2017-02-23 04:14:55
mahakal: The one you like more.
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:15:33
mahakal: i've never tried vmware, i think they should be similar in performance, virtualbox works nicely for me though
mahakal 2017-02-23 04:16:39
EriC^^ : on web i have learnt that virtualbox put far less burden on cpu than vmware
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:17:02
mahakal: aha, interesting
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:17:28
azizLIGHT: you want all packages from any ppa's?
azizLIGHT 2017-02-23 04:18:00
EriC^^: yes im trying to find all non-ubuntu packages. and see if they need to go back to ubuntu version or not
azizLIGHT 2017-02-23 04:18:22
so that includes : installed: none
mahakal 2017-02-23 04:18:34
EriC^^ : but you know thing would have been more nice if i could dual boot REMnux and ubuntu.Because in virtualization RAM is divided..and system get slow
azizLIGHT 2017-02-23 04:18:40
and git and xorg edgers and anything else
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:19:39
mahakal: i think you can
mahakal 2017-02-23 04:21:32
EriC^^ :Aha what does this mean : https://paste.ubuntu.com/24053542/
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:21:35
mahakal: https://remnux.org/docs/distro/get/#install-remnux-on-an-existing-system
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:21:48
it says it can allow you to install on a physical host
mahakal 2017-02-23 04:22:17
EriC^^: BINGO we share same material with different mean
mahakal 2017-02-23 04:23:18
EriC^^: installing on a physical host mean i can have option to dual boot selecting from grub menu ??
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:23:40
mahakal: i think it means that remnux is like an addition that can be added to any ubuntu system, they usually give the iso that's based on ubuntu + remnux, you can use the install script to add remnux to an already installed ubuntu
mahakal 2017-02-23 04:24:15
means like any other software like wireshark,nmap,geany ??
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:24:46
mahakal: you can install it on top of your current ubuntu, or if you want a separate system you could install another ubuntu (dual boot) and run the install script there and it would make it with remnux
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:25:36
mahakal: it does some modifications to ubuntu, software, maybe some settings, etc
mahakal 2017-02-23 04:26:22
Eric^^ : ok.SO can i do this : booting an ubuntu system from usb the runnig that script in this environment?
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:27:44
yeah you can do that, or make a live usb that has persistence
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:28:12
this is the script it runs https://remnux.org/get-remnux.sh it looks like it installs lots of software and some settings
pavlos 2017-02-23 04:28:46
craptalk, 8 GB should show as 7.7 GiB (multiplier is 1024 instead of 1000).
Aliekezhi 2017-02-23 04:28:52
what process is taking care of updating networks share in "real time" by default on Ubuntu ? Is it avahi ?
lerner 2017-02-23 04:31:25
does ubuntu by default delete all old kernels if I execute sudo apt-get autoremove but the 2 newest ones?
mahakal 2017-02-23 04:31:25
EriC^^: consider the scenario : you boot ubuntu from usb..install wireshark on it..the next time you boot from usb ..Will wireshark be there or not ?
bekks 2017-02-23 04:31:25
lerner: No.
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:31:25
lerner: usually yes
bekks 2017-02-23 04:31:25
lerner: You can use "purge-old-kernels" from the biksehd package, to do so.
lerner 2017-02-23 04:31:49
bekks, EriC^^ who should I listen to?
EriC^^ 2017-02-23 04:32:03
!autoremove
pavlos 2017-02-23 04:32:23
lerner, look at ls /boot, do the autoremove, look again at /boot it keeps the last two (16.04
