Ask Ubuntu General Room

o/

Morning folks. Sunny but cold morning in Denver. How yall doing ?

Totally agree with Madara

1:18 PM

@Serg Hello my friend ! :) Nice to see you ! :)

Hello Serg :)

@cl-netbox likewise my friend.

Videonauth , hello

Hi @Videonauth ! :)

Hellp cl-netbox how youre doing ?

im still recovering from my long write i did yesterday for an Q&A

@Videonauth I am fine ! :) what about you ? :)

@Videonauth which one ? :)

Q: How do I downgrade Gedit to a previous (3.10.4) Version in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

1:21 PM

im still not sure i i cant improve that

2

As the title already says: I have some plug-ins which don't run with gedit 3.18.3 which is shipped with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. How can I downgrade to the version 3.10.4 which was used in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.10 and get all the plug-ins possible installed? And how do I revert it back to 3...

@Videonauth WOW ! :) upvoted both Q + A ! :)

Tim tried it yesterday but failed badly on a fresh installed 16.04 VM but i saw where he did an error

i was able to do it with those steps on a fresh 16.04 VM but well i did nothing else the past two days

@Videonauth remind me some time tomorrow to look at your Q n A again , maybe there's a way i can improve it.

so if someone finds a way to improve it im a happy cat

will do Serg

i think the wording is not quite clear or its somehow very hard to follow th steps

i already changed a bit around because of that

@Serg :)

@Videonauth just curious ... why would you like to downgrade ? :) Generally I prefer to use the latest stable software ... :)

1:29 PM

oh i did find this solution for a question which has a bounty on it and since i already solved the biggest part i as well thought ok lets make a complete Q&A out of it

example reason for downgrade would be gedit-r-plugin which has been dropped in xenial

or another reason for people to downgrade are he ugly menus on the new version

Interesting. So the plugin isn't in official repos ?

@Videonauth ah ... now I understand ... just for writing an answer ... not because you wanted to downgrade yourself ... :)

jep

and yes @serg this has been dropped

I personally don't care about gedit. I'm a vim usr

well if i need a gui editor im prefering scite

but mostly i simply use nano

cant get my way around in vim tho lol

1:32 PM

nano is okay as well ... but I am used to use gedit

Hi @JacobVlijm ! :) Hi @Seth ! :)

I used to use nano all the time , but then i learned vim. And that's what i use 99% of the time.

in fact i normaly wouldnt need a complete gui at all maybe simple openbox to start FF or torbrowser and thats it

im to 99.9 percent moving around in terminal

Jacob Vlijm

Hi @cl-netbox and all. Trying chat on my new mobile...

Oh, i love openbox. all i need is two things : terminal window and firefox , and that's it. But since lately I've been doing a lot of scripting for Unity, so that's what i use as GUI

@JacobVlijm new car ... new mobile ... new ubuntu ... new Jacob as well ? :D

Jacob Vlijm

1:38 PM

@cl-netbox sure! Every day. And an empty wallet today :)

@JacobVlijm hahaha ... nice ! :)

1:49 PM

Hi @muru ! :) just curious ... you added [arch=amd64] here -> askubuntu.com/questions/765037/… ... I added the repo without it on my clean / fresh xenial ... worked fine ... entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list file is correct : deb [arch=amd64] dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable main ... did I miss something ? :)

@cl-netbox Didn't they remove the 32-bit repo?

@muru yes

So if you added it without the [arch=amd64] you'd get a warning until you actually installed Chrome, which would then overwrite it with the correct line?

@muru no I didn't get a warning - echo "deb dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list and adding the key worked correctly. :)

And when you do sudo apt-get update?

1:55 PM

@muru also no error except the one about the "weak key"

@cl-netbox strange. What does dpkg --print-foreign-architectures show?

In my case, I have i386

cl@cl-UW-1:~$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386
but that might come from nvidia dependencies install ... :)
cl@cl-UW-1:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep i386
libc6-i386 install

Odd. I don't have my 16.04 box around. I'll ping you after I test a few things on it.

I think I was right ... look at the nvidia install log :

bbswitch-dkms (0.8-3ubuntu1)
lib32gcc1 (1:6.0.1-0ubuntu1)
libc6-i386 (2.23-0ubuntu3)
libcuda1-361 (361.42-0ubuntu2)
libjansson4 (2.7-3)
libxnvctrl0 (361.42-0ubuntu1)
nvidia-361 (361.42-0ubuntu2)
nvidia-opencl-icd-361 (361.42-0ubuntu2)
nvidia-prime (0.8.2)
nvidia-settings (361.42-0ubuntu1)
ocl-icd-libopencl1 (2.2.8-1)
screen-resolution-extra (0.17.1)

Anyone know where these keyboard input loocale iiccons are stored? i.stack.imgur.com/EleHv.png

how long will 12.04 not be and of life ? 04/17 ?

@Videonauth yes ... 5 years :)

ok got here someone telling an OP to upgrade first before asking 12.04 wouldnt be suported anymore

just wanted to make sure before i comment on that

@muru and this is what gets installed when you execute : sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable ->

google-chrome-stable (50.0.2661.86-1)
libappindicator1 (12.10.1+15.04.20141110-0ubuntu1)
libindicator7 (12.10.2+16.04.20151208-0ubuntu1)

2:47 PM

o/

Hmm... Apple Keynote won't update.

3:21 PM

Hum i wonder why o got even two upvotes on that answer askubuntu.com/a/766425/522934

@Videonauth I can tell you the reason : I still think a newcomer to this shouldn't go to compile divers themselves ... that is a good and useful instruction ! ... so +1 from me as well ! :)

well i had the urge to put that in, i mean i have build meanwhile 2 linux from scratch and didnt get them working 100% so i know what i say there

user136984

@cl-netbox: Strange, I am unable to see your profile picture in the list of people... Just a white square... :(

and up to this i dont want to be blamed if he has shot his system :)

@ParanoidPanda maybe a new blocker in your already more than perfectly blocked browsers installation ??? :D :D :D

@Videonauth also generally a good attitude ... :)

user136984

3:37 PM

@cl-netbox: Yes, things have been a bit messed up since I installed Ghostery yesterday... But I thought I unblocked the stuff needed on this site so it's strange... In fact it shouldn't be blocking anything here...

@cl-netbox even if this means we miss out on a few new questions like "Halp i shot my system and now stuck in tty" or "Halp halp i fried my toaster"

@Videonauth : something similar I did here -> askubuntu.com/questions/766408/… ... with one difference ... no upvotes ... :) by the way ... normally I don't answer such questions ... :)

i answer them but make clear beforehand that it is risky

@ParanoidPanda you really should unblock more things ... as I said before : using ABP is safe enough ! :D

@Videonauth I help many users when it comes to system and drivers installation ... I never recommend to compile something manually ... mostly you can break more than you can fix later ... :)

indeed :)

for exactly this reason i have a complete backup of my laptop on my second machine

not zipped not tarred just simple one to one backup

and each package installed on this machine is added to a script so if i new install i simply run this script and have everything like before

user136984

3:45 PM

@cl-netbox: ABP is only against adverts, it won't protect you even minimally against scripts.

user136984

And they are worse than adverts...

@Videonauth good idea ... but you should use clonezilla for that ... backup highly compressed ... takes one minute ... restore one minute as well (depending on system size - I have all personal stuff on separate partitions) ... using it for years ... NEVER let me down ! :)

jupp should look into that, i did that backup one to one becaause of easy accesibility

no need to unpack anything

just pull what i need from network

@ParanoidPanda yes I know ... but things like noscript makes using the internet a pain sometimes ... most important for maximum security is the user (or better PANDA) in front of the keyboard ! :D

user136984

@cl-netbox: But the browser does a lot of things that are bad for security that it doesn't allow the user to control. I have found NoScript very annoying at times, that's why I stick with uMatrix, much more control and usability.

3:54 PM

@Videonauth : I made 2 presentations (backup and restore) for new users of clonezilla -> backup : docs.google.com/presentation/d/… and restore -> docs.google.com/presentation/d/…

Cool thank you have them bookmarked for later reading

@ParanoidPanda you know what ? I never had a single virus or rootkit ever ... the most secure way to use the internet indeed is "reading and thinking before clicking" ! :)

Hi @jokerdino ! :) Nice to see you ! :)

hi

@Videonauth Here is another (gparted) presentation (included in an Q+A I made) -> Q : askubuntu.com/questions/743095/… and A : askubuntu.com/questions/743095/… ... might be useful for you as well ... :)

@jokerdino bad mood as usual on Mondays ? :D

it's vacation time \o/

4:08 PM

@jokerdino Ah ... nice ... so good mood ... :)

I am always in good mood.

@jokerdino wow ... even better ... so the curve which is on top on Wednesdays is something I must have dreamed of ... hahaha ! :D

@cl-netbox soon(tm) askubuntu.com/users/522934/videonauth

Good, great, best, great, best, best, best.

@Videonauth ???

4:16 PM

2000

@jokerdino wonderful ! :)

@Videonauth well done ! :) so not a too long way for you to go to catch @Oli ... :D :D :D

hahahahaha

yes if i keep up my pace in about 3 years

@Videonauth : most important is to help other users ! :)

inded :)

@Videonauth there also is some negative experience you will make on that way ... I received downvotes for useful (and accepted) answers that solved serious problems ... and this not only a few times ... :(

4:23 PM

well this happens, but wont keep me from helping where i can and know the answer

i spent the whole weekend on solving that gedit thing for this one bounty question

and made it then as well into an QA because i thought ok if i covered up till that one plugin package i could even cover all packages from gedit

keeps my brain going

@Videonauth great attitude ... so do I ... but you will see : it hurts nevertheless ! :) once you gain some more attention it will happen ... :)

i can imagine i had my bad suprise as i started here and got directly downvotes for my first answer and got it flagged as no answer :p

Q: Real time cmd tool to show hdd space remaining

@Videonauth My first action here was a question ... downvoted ... closed ... I watched everything and waited a long time before I started working on AU after that experience ... the reason why I am very friendly to new users and trying to help them instead of downvoting their questions and answers ... :)

Is there a command line tool which shows in real time how much space is remaining my my external hard drive?

debian ubuntu terminal hard-disk real-time

4:38 PM

:)

@Videonauth : Which ubuntu edition and which DE do you use as your default system ?

@cl-netbox well im still a linux newbe somehow, sure im computer savy but spend the most of my life on windows boxes until microsoft released windows 10, the eye cancer i got from upgrade pop ups made me fo now switch my laptop to linux and lookinginto how to make my workstation linux aswell only keeping a small win 7 partion to play games

im on an upgraded 16.04 unity 7.4.x (upgraded from 15.10

@Videonauth you should consider a clean installation ... issues may appear later ... upgrades are not the recommended way to go ! :)

i know but for now it runs stable and without hitches

@Videonauth for now ... :D

4:44 PM

and my #1 rule on this is to never change a running system :)

whenit hitches it gets whiped

@Videonauth old Windows rule ... hahaha :)

meanwhile i use it as build host system to make my own linux distro for an very old laptop

by trying this i have already learnt alot of why and where what is on linux in a very short time

@Videonauth nice ... how old ? ... just installed xenial on my wife's old DELL Inspiron 1720 fro 2007 ... runs great even though that machine only has 1,8 Ghz intel dual core CPU, 2 GB RAM and 8600M GT graphics ... :)

its an old dell inspiron from 2001

with single core prozessor and 1 GB ram

i wouldnt try to build an own linux if i would think a already existing distro could cut it

@Videonauth oh oh oh ... if this will work ? :D

4:56 PM

it will but only ofor a very limited linux with not mucuh overhead build into the driver

erm kernel

@cl-netbox I'm waiting for the boss to show uo, actually...

(just received your mail)

@Fabby ah my friend ... hello ! :) what a fast reaction ... :D nice to see you ! :)

@Fabby when will this be ? today or tomorrow ? :)

Any minute now... 😈

@Fabby good luck my friend ! :)

On the phone, so replying to you directly is tedious... 😏

5:03 PM

@Fabby okay ... we can talk later ... :)

Smileys are easier though! 😄😄😄

@Fabby hahaha ... Mr. Backup transformed to Mr. Smiley ... :D :D :D

@cl-netbox

@Videonauth Congratulations ! Well done ! :)

god all i did was explaining that compiling a driver is risky and tedious :p

hello fabby

Shoot... one of my assignments for this class I'm in for my Master's program requires me administering a test to students

user139252

Kinda hard when you don't work for a school anymore :/

user139252

It says I can also administer it to colleagues...

user139252

Does anyone want take a learning style inventory and an emotional intelligence survey?

Hi @TheBrownOne ! :)

user139252

Hey @cl-netbox

5:10 PM

@TheBrownOne no ... thanks a lot :D

user139252

You'll remain anonymous in my paper about it :P

@TheBrownOne hahaha ... better ask @ParanoidPanda ... he will make 100 out of 100 points ! :D

humm im currentlyy reviewing low quality posts but dont know what do do with this one askubuntu.com/a/764211/522934

Guys, quick question - how do I tell the ./configure script that I do have the freakin libraries it complains about

Q: Migrating mounts with identical permissions not working

@Seth Wait - what?

I have two mounts /mount1 and /mount2. I ran the command: rsync -azrt /mount1/* /mount2/ to clone everything from /mount1 to /mount2. I then altered the /etc/fstab (see below) to remove /mount1 and mount /mount2 to /mount1 but things (including my email servers local user folders) are not wor...

ubuntu permissions mount rsync fstab

@Seth Do you participate ? :)

or . . .maybe i don't have them afterall

@cl-netbox not as much as I would like. It starts at ~6:30 in my timezone.

I'm usually up, but busy getting my day going.

@NathanOsman hm?

5:43 PM

le french UOS summary. Haha

@Seth : No keynote from MS this time ? only see a Q&A from him ...

@cl-netbox guess not.

@Seth hope that this is not a bad sign ... having a feeling ...

He's doing a Q/A.

or I thought he was..

@Seth yes ...

@Seth scheduled for Wednesday

Hello @ByteCommander ! :)

5:50 PM

@cl-netbox Hey!

apparently it doesn't show up in the "all meetings" list.

@Seth I see this -> summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1605/meeting/22664/mark-shuttleworths-qa

OK, so . . . I have

apt-cache policy libpeas-1.0-0
libpeas-1.0-0:
Installed: 1.16.0-1ubuntu2
Candidate: 1.16.0-1ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 1.16.0-1ubuntu2 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

It's installed

so why does ./configure tell me

No package 'libpeas-1.0' found

Can anybody give me advice on how to partition my disk for Windows 10?

@ByteCommander yes

5:52 PM

I have 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD.

Let's say I don't want to give it much more than 28GB of the SSD and 250GB of the HDD.

Which partitions should I place where?

@Sergcheck the configure script for that line and check what it is doing to see if libpeas is there or not maybe it is simple on a place where configure does not see it

@ByteCommander that is not useful in chat ... I will write you a mail tomorrow ... if you want of course ! :)

It created 3 or 4 small partitions manually, including an MSR (MicroSoft Reserved), an ESP/EFI and a Recovery partition...

Tomorrow?

I planned to get this done this evening...

Also, who cares about chatroom topics? ;)

netbox will go to bed in 20 mins

@ByteCommander yes ... it takes time to tell you everything that is important to consider

5:55 PM

such an oldie.

@jokerdino WHAT ??? :D :D :D

xD

There can't be that much to consider, can it?

@ByteCommander : preparing the partitions and what to place where should only be done once ... otherwise you may regret something later ... but one thing : place all systems (and ONLY sytems) on the ssd ... place every other stuff on hdd

@Videonauth well my script runs in the /opt dir

But Windows is a fast-growing beast... It will soon have eaten the whole disk if I put it on the SSD only.

5:58 PM

Strage, once I've installed the -dev packages, the configure script stopped complaining about some of them

@ByteCommander NO ... when you only place Windows on the ssd it takes about ... let's say 25 GB in the end ! The other systems take about 20 GB each ... all data will be on hdd ! :)

meh, just don't put it on the SSD at all...

@serg michael@NEXUS-TWO:~$ apt-cache search libpeas-dev
libpeas-dev - Application plugin library (development files)

does it deserve that speed?

@cl-netbox But installing additional programs? Can I simply mount a HDD partition in somewhere to install the non-system apps there?

6:01 PM

@ByteCommander what I said includes the programs ...

Just imagine installing Visual Studio with a few dozen GBs...

@Seth I didn't realize it was tomorrow.

@ByteCommander Win 10 is about 10 GB ... the other apps like VS a few GB

@ByteCommander that's why I download the ISO.

@NathanOsman me either.

6:02 PM

You can install all you want from there.

hard to attend in our timezone though.

@NathanOsman What has that to do with how to partition the disk?

@ByteCommander nothing

just like a dual boot

@ByteCommander : please read this -> msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/manufacture/…

(I'm mobile BTW, so replies will be slow and short ;P)

@cl-netbox looking, thanks.

6:07 PM

@ByteCommander I write you a mail tomorrow ... :)

Okay, but if I find enough understandable docs, I might as well start the install today...

Resizing a partition on the SSD should be pretty fast anyway, in case I change my mind...

goodbye :) not going to bed you "young fart" (stolen from @Fabby : we old farts have to stick together !) @jokerdino hahaha ... watching a movie on TV right now ! :D :D :D

@cl-netbox Which one?

Run oldie Run.

@ByteCommander a TV movie in ZDF ... after that "Hart aber Fair" ... after that "Tagesthemen" ... after that a documentation on ARD ... and then I go to bed in about 4 hours you "baby fart" @jokerdino ... hahaha :D

6:13 PM

lol, I wont call you that if it bothers you.

@jokerdino I doesn't bother me ... I think it's funny ... we're just joking around ... :)

I am mostly trying to joke around. But some say I am lame.

@jokerdino : By the way ... you are right ... compared to you I am a VERY STONE OLD FART ! :)

@cl-netbox Dunno whether or what I'll be watching today. But tomorrow Doctor Who is on the schedule, followed by Doctor House.

@Videonauth my script seems to be working. I've sort of put together a down-grader script for gedit

will post soon for testing

6:16 PM

@ByteCommander : 2 things - size of SSD and size of HDD ?

@cl-netbox In my opinion, old people are some of the best people I have met.

xD This starred post from the root access room is awesome!

in Root Access, 12 hours ago, by Journeyman Geek

@Serg from my instuctions i made ? cool

@cl-netbox As I said 128 SSD and 1000 HDD (GB each)

@Videonauth well . . .not really . . . I just wrote everything from scratch

6:18 PM

youre crazy :p but you can add this as an answer then

@ByteCommander Just put Windows on 128 SSD there, 20 to 30 GB max , and just use 1000 HDD for files

Well , I'm sort of crazy . . . I do everything the long way

So far it's compiling alright

@Serg But I doubt Win 10 will fit on 30GB once all apps I want are installed. It might easily use over 50GB I think.

@ByteCommander okay ... just wanted to be sure ... I propose a good setup for you tomorrow ... :)

Okay, thanks. Just remember that tomorrow it might be eggs after Easter... :)

@jokerdino Thanks ... I don't differ ... there are good and not so good people in every ages ... :)

6:22 PM

Who would like to volunteer for script testing ?

user139252

/me

/me

@TheBrownOne have 16.04 ?

user139252

Aye, sir.

Perfecto ! I'll throw my script into pastebin in a minute

OK , so @TheBrownOne and @Videonauth , see the script first paste.ubuntu.com/16194349 Let me know what you think, if nothing fishy stands out, then feel free to try running it

It compiles from source, so may take a while

6:35 PM

yeah but not to long, did you have a read at my anser yet ?

@Videonauth yeah, I did. You basically use ubuntu's ftp mirrors and .deb . I'm using gnome's and building form source

yep the problem persisted on my end in the case that someone wanted to plugins to work with and then additional the gedit-r-plugin

i got the plugins to build but the terminal.py was so bugged that it didnt even work not to speak of the rgedit

till i found the way i posted

took me 20 hours of installing, deinstalling, compiling and what not

btw in your script you might want to make sure gedit is deinstalled first by sudo apt-get remove gedit

I didn't deninstall , it installed without it :) I don't want to risk removing whatever dependencies are

user139252

Why do I want to install gedit again? :P

Em . . . we're trying to address the downgrading of gedit from the 16.04 version to the one in 15.10 . . . because new gedit doesn't get mush luv from ppl

Looks like it werks :)

6:57 PM

mhmm my cat killed the try, i removed all what was created but now i get permission error

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘gedit-3.10.4’: Permission denied

user136984

@Videonauth: That's why you don't let your cat near your computer.

@ParanoidPanda but she is a brute-force cat, she haxxors everyyything

@Videonauth forgot to mention, you need to run it with sudo

because it runs apt-get install for several dependencies

user139252

@serg Works fine for me.

@TheBrownOne everything installed alright ?

user139252

7:00 PM

No errors

:D yey

@serg you could help me maybe with some things on my answer

@Videonauth sure , with what ?

i would love to replace the sudo nano parts with sed commands to make sure the proper parts are edited

but i kinda dont get my head around sed yet to be honest

@Videonauth Sure, can be done , but I will need to get the deb package, extract it and mess around with the files. I'll get that probably done tomorrow or today's evening

7:05 PM

no rush

just would be a great addition and maybe i would then be able to make a script for doing this complete packe change around

your script worked on my machine aswell

Hello Everyone! :)

beme is out for android!!

Beme

Beme is a video messaging application created by Casey Neistat and Matt Hackett. == Releases == The first version of Beme was launched on July 17, 2015 for iOS. On July 29, 2015, shortly after its release, Casey Neistat announced that a version for Android was in development. On March 25, 2016, version 0.9.0 was publicly released to the iOS App Store. The new version featured a new white and green UI as well as support for iPads and iPod touches without a proximity sensor. Version 0.9 was the first major release featuring a brand new UI since the first public version. It also was the first version...

erm @serg how to reverse the process ?

@Videonauth I'm working on that right now :)

7:16 PM

Does qTox have full GTK3 integration does anyone know?

@Serg is it really worth the effort? Wouldn't Pluma fill your needs?

:29398335 FLAGGED!

@muru what is Pluma ?

@Serg MATE's editor

Pluma (editor)

pluma (Latin: plūma "feather") is the default text editor of the MATE desktop environment forked from the now-unmaintained code base of GNOME 2. Pluma is a graphical application which supports editing multiple text files in one window (tabs or MDI). It fully supports international text through its use of the Unicode UTF-8 encoding. As a general purpose text editor, pluma supports most standard editor features, and emphasizes simplicity and ease of use. Its core feature set includes syntax highlighting of source code, auto indentation, and printing support with print preview. Pluma is a fork of...

Since it's a fork of gedit, who knows, old plugins might work fine in it

@muru I don't care about GUI editors , I'm a VIM user. What I'm doing here is just finding an alternative solution to already solved problem

7:20 PM

@Serg consider telling whoever had the problem about Pluma

OK

@Serg CODEREVIEW

Sure

Okay

@Videonauth cd /opt/gedit-3.10.4 ; sudo make uninstall

That's how you get rid of gedit

7:23 PM

from turtle import *
import random
import time
screen = Screen()
screen.screensize(400,400,"black")
pen = Pen()
pen.speed(75)
size = 20

    pen.color(randcool)
    pen.circle(size,steps = 4)
    pen.right(55)
    size = size +3
time.sleep(100)

now . . .how do i get 3.18 back . . .

didnt work

??

sudo apt-mark unhold gedit

make uninstall didnt work

@Videonauth I use sudo dpkg --set-selections <<< "gedit install"

@HenryWhiteHatHacker seems ok, you just need proper indentation and make sleep smaller to make it run faster

7:27 PM

@Serg Want to know how I made it?

@Videonauth I think I will edit my script some more to include uninstall approach and probably post it

@muru do you know anything about binary files being hashed to a specific location ?
