Hello, does anyone know which services I can safely remove from default installation of Ubuntu 16.10?
OerHeks 2017-03-04 08:01:10
!partitioning
ubottu 2017-03-04 08:01:10
For help with partitioning a new install see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition | For partitioning programs, see !GParted (recommended) or !PartitionManager. Other partitioning topics include !fstab, !home, and !swap
OerHeks 2017-03-04 08:01:23
arooni, let ubuntu do the partitioning, or read the wiki
Tex_Nick 2017-03-04 08:02:02
La09x09: I don't use a screensaver or screenlock ... so not an issue for me, but if you need it then by all means install it ... http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015/01/install-caffeine-indicator-ubuntu-14-04/
ducasse 2017-03-04 08:02:02
batobin: that depends entirely on what you're going to use it for
batobin 2017-03-04 08:02:56
Yes...I'd like a recent link for services I can safely disable...I don't use network and server...I'm trying to squeeze max performance from 3GB ram
arooni 2017-03-04 08:03:02
do i want LVM with the new install? seems like it will make parition resizing easier
ducasse 2017-03-04 08:04:19
batobin: there is no such link as it is impossible to answer
La09x09 2017-03-04 08:05:03

i.e. 100%. but I wanna put it more through volume keys just like I could on settings
batobin 2017-03-04 08:05:40
ducasse: would deleting unnecassary packages achieve the same effect?
vlt 2017-03-04 08:05:42
arooni: Yes, use swap. LVM is nice and also on nearly every of my machines. But it depends on what you intend to do with that computer-.
ducasse 2017-03-04 08:06:40
batobin: of course, but you still need to determine what you need and not
Bashing-om 2017-03-04 08:06:59
arooni: You been around here long enough to know that how you set up your system is particulat to "your" use . SSD install, I did the homework and I went with a standard install ( leaving 25% of the SSD unformatted ) // Swap . depends on your use case and your history of how nuch/many times sweap is hot . I have run with as little as 7 Megs of swap with no issues .
arooni 2017-03-04 08:09:11
yeah ; i'm setting this up for my mom
arooni 2017-03-04 08:09:24
don't want to mess it up; because shes not going to mess with the finer points of linux/ubuntu

Ubuntu-16.04.1 trying to change the first boot to Ubuntu in the grub menu. The command i was told to use takes /etcc/default /grub to the nano editor. I can change the required entry from zero to "Ubuntu" but then I don't know how to save and exit from nano. What I try returns file modified not saved!!!
OerHeks 2017-03-04 08:10:07
arooni, then don't bother with LVM and partitioning
qkzoo1978 2017-03-04 08:10:29
Alt+tab lets me switch between open windows. If I have 4 open terminals is there a shortcut to switch just between the terminal windows and not everything else I have open?
OerHeks 2017-03-04 08:11:06
qkzoo1978, no. hold the win key to see all shortkeys.

qkzoo1978 alt-tab makes you switch to the previously opened window
OerHeks 2017-03-04 08:12:01
sdfsffasfsdf, just hit continue, or cancel ?
vlt 2017-03-04 08:12:06
qkzoo1978: Try if Alt+^ (the key right over Tab) does what you want.
MonkeyDust 2017-03-04 08:12:43
qkzoo1978 you can also work wirh different workspaces
qkzoo1978 2017-03-04 08:13:50
Ya, I never grasped workspaces. Perhaps I should look into it when I have 10 different windows open.
sdfsffasfsdf 2017-03-04 08:14:09

sdfsffasfsdf: what do you mean you want to fix it? fix the code?
qkzoo1978 2017-03-04 08:16:22
Thanks for your help, I'll try playing around with workspaces and like the win(super) thing, didn't realize that!
alkisg 2017-03-04 08:16:36
texla: what do you mean? Isn't ubuntu the default grub option anyway?
qkzoo1978 2017-03-04 08:17:06
How do you send an open window to another workspace?
Auprivave 2017-03-04 08:17:11
qkzoo1978, i3 window manager. sure, takes some time setting up, but worth cheking out. windows can float as well, in cases where stacking works better.
sdfsffasfsdf 2017-03-04 08:17:41
ducasse: I mean I need to stop having the problems, because each time I boot the same problems appear
qkzoo1978 2017-03-04 08:18:18
Auprivave: I appreciate the suggestion

alkisg 2017-03-04 08:24:28
texla: it's possible that your mbr is managed by linuxlite's grub, not by ubuntu's grub. Do you mind uploading your grub.cfg? cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999
ducasse 2017-03-04 08:24:44
texla: isn't there a listing of commands at the bottom in nano?

texla: ctrl+o does not write?
alkisg 2017-03-04 08:27:01
ducasse: I think that he's using the boot manager of linuxlite
alkisg 2017-03-04 08:27:15
(grub again, but on a different partition, different grub.cfg etc)
alkisg 2017-03-04 08:27:51
Otherwise ubuntu would be first
alkisg 2017-03-04 08:28:06
So in this case, he'd need to grub-install from ubuntu, and then tell linuxlite not to manage mbr
alkisg 2017-03-04 08:28:26
texla, can you upload this? cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999
kaz 2017-03-04 08:29:23
HI all! I haven't used Linux in many years so I'm relearning. I use to use Mandrake. Does anyone have any quick tips for me

is there a way to make the screen lock when resuming from suspend without lightlocker?
alkisg 2017-03-04 08:31:15
texla: so, ubuntu is first there, and linuxlite is correctly detected. Do this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
alkisg 2017-03-04 08:31:38
texla: this will make ubuntu's grub manage the mbr, so you'll see the ubuntu grub menu, with ubuntu first
Auprivave 2017-03-04 08:31:42
kaz, depends on what the goal is.
kaz 2017-03-04 08:32:24
ok first i would like a terminal on my desktop
alkisg 2017-03-04 08:32:24
texla: but in the future, linuxlite might take over mbr again, so after the dpkg-reconfigure command, you need to go to linuxlite and tell it not to install its grub to mbr
texla 2017-03-04 08:32:50
alkisg, I had grub 0.97 in Ubuntu and was told to install grub-pc which i did from synaptic now Ubuntu is first in the grub list but when changing default from 0 to Ubuntu it does not change in list to boot UBUNTU FIRST
alkisg 2017-03-04 08:33:17
texla: it does not change it because you installed linuxlite and you are using grub from linuxlite, not from ubuntu
alkisg 2017-03-04 08:33:26
Do the dpkg-reconfigure command that I said, to fix it
alkisg 2017-03-04 08:35:52
texla: when you see grub, if it's purple, then it's ubuntu's grub. If it's not purple, it's linuxlite's grub.
texla 2017-03-04 08:35:59
alkisg, /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: grub-pc is broken or not fully installed
alkisg 2017-03-04 08:36:32
texla: what's the output of this? dpkg -l '*grub*' | nc termbin.com 9999
texla 2017-03-04 08:36:40
alkisg, Reinstall of grub-pc gives a 127 error
Auprivave 2017-03-04 08:37:28
kaz, ubuntu is its deb you are after. Fedora is its rpm. and Manjaro if Arch is your thing.
alkisg 2017-03-04 08:37:35
(also, how you had grub 0.97 in ubuntu 16.04 is beyond me :D)
Auprivave 2017-03-04 08:37:57
kaz, if its not for production, it doesnt matter what you choose
kaz 2017-03-04 08:39:07
thanks Auprivave what about gentoo?
ducasse 2017-03-04 08:39:40
kaz: we support ubuntu. if you want help choosing a distro, try ##linux

Thanks again Auprivave

alkisg, http://termbin.com/2z7m
Auprivave 2017-03-04 08:42:50
kaz, its perfectly alright to ask here, since most distros are based on Ubuntu nowdays. if you have been away from linux, Ubuntu is a safe bet.
alkisg 2017-03-04 08:44:26
texla: can you run `sudo apt-get install -f`, and put the whole output to paste.ubuntu.com, and give us the link? For some reason your grub installation failed.
glitchd 2017-03-04 08:44:59
possibly specified the wrong place to install grub..
