kaosine: I am prejudiced in favor of xfce . All I can say .
Mitchy 2017-02-24 13:03:11
what command line web browser uses the least of resources ?
Afdal 2017-02-24 13:03:30
hmmph
DocMAX 2017-02-24 13:03:43
pavlos, rc2 is before what?
kaosine 2017-02-24 13:03:46
Bashing-om: that's what another guy was telling me so probably downloading xubuntu then to make things easy
Afdal 2017-02-24 13:03:55
Well I don't see "libopus" or "opus" in recent package updates anywhere...
Afdal 2017-02-24 13:04:08
What could it have been that broke Opus detection
wedgie 2017-02-24 13:04:09
Mitchy: curl or wget are what you want. And you've already been given examples for both of them.
Mitchy 2017-02-24 13:05:23
ok sorry
Mitchy 2017-02-24 13:06:02
wget i only used for downloading
kaosine 2017-02-24 13:06:52
Bashing-om: which means the computer will be going from Vista to xubuntu. Man that still feels weird to say. Though I hope I can teach my sister how to export from libre to ms
Bashing-om 2017-02-24 13:07:22
kaosine: While xfce is very customizable and cinfigurable to the extreme - getting away from default is a steep learning curve - there be dragons ! But it is why is it so configurable !
kaosine 2017-02-24 13:08:41
Bashing-om: I just know I'm staying far away from unity. That is a resource hog. I liked gnome better
Bashing-om 2017-02-24 13:09:41
kaosine: You are going about it the right direction ; burn ya a xubuntu disk amd see what you like .
kaosine 2017-02-24 13:10:35
Bashing-om: if I don't (or in this case my sister) I have 9 more discs XD
Bashing-om 2017-02-24 13:11:17
kaosine: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ .
Mitchy 2017-02-24 13:13:56
wedgie i did a little readback but when i try the given example of do wget -qO- http://www.google.com > sleep 300; done i get syntax error
Mitchy 2017-02-24 13:22:06
sorry i got on your nerves, im used to see what happends and when i copy the command while true; do wget -qO- http://www.google.com > /dev/null; sleep 300; done nothing happends at least not that i can see
wedgie 2017-02-24 13:23:19
Mitchy: that's by design. It runs every 5 mins and hides all output. Because, presumably, you don't care what the output was, only that the script got hit and did whatever twitter stuff that it does.
Mitchy 2017-02-24 13:25:38
aha ok thanks for clearing that part
Mitchy 2017-02-24 13:28:56
it creates a sleep file in my folder
lucidguy 2017-02-24 13:29:04
any mdadm savvy people here?
wedgie 2017-02-24 13:29:27
Mitchy: then you're still not copy/pasting correctly :(
Mitchy 2017-02-24 13:30:44
while true; do wget -qO- http://www.google.com > sleep 300; done
Mitchy 2017-02-24 13:31:50
thats what i used
wedgie 2017-02-24 13:31:51
I don't think I can help you. I'm sorry.
roadrunneratwast 2017-02-24 13:34:37

Bashing-om 2017-02-24 13:36:24
roadrunneratwast: In the case of I/O erroros - 1st thing is check the hard drive's health . smartmontools .
roadrunneratwast 2017-02-24 13:36:35
yeah
roadrunneratwast 2017-02-24 13:36:43
smart tools said it wasn't so healthy
pavlos 2017-02-24 13:37:24
DocMAX, I suggested /etc/rc2.d/ which is multi-user and networking. Isnt that runlevel the earliest you can use?
DocMAX 2017-02-24 13:37:53
and then? what i need to do?
DocMAX 2017-02-24 13:37:58
put a script in there?
roadrunneratwast 2017-02-24 13:37:58
so do i need to get a new hard drive?
roadrunneratwast 2017-02-24 13:38:19
or can i do fsck -c ?
Ben64 2017-02-24 13:38:53
time to replace the drive
roadrunneratwast 2017-02-24 13:38:56
no
roadrunneratwast 2017-02-24 13:39:00

roadrunneratwast 2017-02-24 13:39:04

hello everyone, I have two lists of packages that I created with aptitude and dpkg respectively. now I am trying to install them on a new system, but I couldnt find the right command in my searches
lafleurdubien 2017-02-24 13:40:29
Anybody have an issue with Ubuntu 16.04 where wifi stops working and you are unable to reconnect?
Bashing-om 2017-02-24 13:40:42
roadrunneratwast: Might be best ' sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda | pastebinit ' and we have a gander at the data .
roadrunneratwast 2017-02-24 13:40:51
ok
wedgie 2017-02-24 13:40:56
tarball: what format is this list in?
tarball 2017-02-24 13:41:31
wedgie, both are plain text files
tarball 2017-02-24 13:41:41
one list is from dpkg, the other from aptitude
roadrunneratwast 2017-02-24 13:41:56
bashing-om it started when i forced quit from a slow hibernate
wedgie 2017-02-24 13:42:14
tarball: can you patebin the contents? A handful of lines from each file should be fine
roadrunneratwast 2017-02-24 13:42:29
rather it was slow to wake up from a hibernate http://paste.ubuntu.com/24061998/
tarball 2017-02-24 13:43:08
wedgie, sure
ragnarock_2 2017-02-24 13:43:17
