kaosine: Ya bark'n up an alley I can not echo .. I no do Windows or Mac .
kaosine 2017-02-24 14:50:36
Bashing-om: I only do it since my mom bought the computer I'm on(well the one this replaces) whoops
wedgie 2017-02-24 14:50:54
tarball: if you just want the packages in a copy-paste friendly format: awk '{printf "%s ", $2}' file1 file2
kaosine 2017-02-24 14:50:56
once this comptuer goes out of warranty I'm putting ubu on it though >_>

happyfr0gg: to reiterate what nacc is saying, PPA's should only be added if you trust the people making the PPA, as it's trivial to put malware on a PPA
happyfr0gg 2017-02-24 14:51:41
My main source of software was launchpad.
tgm4883 2017-02-24 14:52:04
and with 91, I'm doubting you trust all of them
nacc 2017-02-24 14:52:06
happyfr0gg: that's ridiculous.
tgm4883 2017-02-24 14:52:30
happyfr0gg: not sure what that has to do with anything. It's trivial to put malware on a PPA on launchpad
happyfr0gg 2017-02-24 14:52:57
I thought launchpad was safe.
happyfr0gg 2017-02-24 14:53:27
I thought it was a legit source of good open source software.
tgm4883 2017-02-24 14:53:48
happyfr0gg: it's no more a source of legit good open source software than github is
tgm4883 2017-02-24 14:53:55
which is to say, anyone can put anything up there

ok I'll try it today then ill tell you what issue arise thanks all
Bashing-om 2017-02-24 15:03:21
kaosine: And we are back to " does not Mac have the tool 'dd' to write a hybrid image file to disk ?" .
kaosine 2017-02-24 15:04:30
Bashing-om: it does but I think the issue is that for some odd reason it needs both ports so I'm going to have to see if I can somehow take etcher to the vista computer and burn the image that way then reboot it and install
kaosine 2017-02-24 15:07:24
Bashing-om: my computer is seeing this thing as a 8kb disc when it's supposed to be 4.7gb XD
Bashing-om 2017-02-24 15:09:14
kaosine: Ouch ! .. and what does a known medium report ?
kaosine 2017-02-24 15:10:21
Bashing-om: IDK I'm guessing it really needs the second port so I'm going to hope I can get it onto the destination computer burn it and then reboot and install

How do I delete a backup file? I see in my file manager a file with a ~ at the end of its extension.
happyfr0gg 2017-02-24 15:32:24
Nothing is contained in the backup file when opened with gedit.

happyfr0gg 2017-02-24 15:33:49
I am in the process of purging PPAs and softwware I no longer use. Trying to bring the number of GPG keys down to 40 or less.
dimisdas 2017-02-24 15:34:03
happyfr0gg: unset backup
craptalk 2017-02-24 15:34:11
i got lenovo IdeaPad 310 15ABR, it seems that it has a bit of heat near the touchpad, how can i check if the fan is running on my machine?
craptalk 2017-02-24 15:34:59
i tried using thinkpad program but is there any other way?
craptalk 2017-02-24 15:35:25
or is the heat normal thing?
dimisdas 2017-02-24 15:36:22
craptalk: read into lm-sensors
dimisdas 2017-02-24 15:36:49
craptalk: it will give you the "sensors" command that prints temperatures and fan rpm
junktext_ 2017-02-24 15:42:00
craptalk, also your BIOS may have a display menu of your laptop's temperatures detected.
kaosine 2017-02-24 15:43:04
phew almost done with the burn of ubu to dvd ^_^
junktext_ 2017-02-24 15:43:29
Nice!
craptalk 2017-02-24 15:44:33
junktext_, i got this message Sorry, no sensors were detected.
craptalk 2017-02-24 15:44:33
This is relatively common on laptops, where thermal management is
craptalk 2017-02-24 15:44:34
handled by ACPI rather than the OS.
kaosine 2017-02-24 15:44:36
junktext_: well xubu....I'm going as light as possible on this thing right now
craptalk 2017-02-24 15:44:59
what does it mean?
