and now it's not working again.

@NathanOsman success; the Pi is now talking to the 9600 baud I2C device :)

easy pickings for anyone on KDE

Oy, it has 2 vtc as unclear...

@chaskes Seems a perfectly clear question to me

@Seth Exactly. A big frustration is that people vtc as unclear just because it's about something they haven't heard of. I suspect at least some of these folks also chide OPs for not using google first.

@chaskes indeed you are probably correct

:)

@Seth I installed Firefox 55 on opensuse. It is so much faster. The hype is not hype.

@chaskes I know right! Firefox is so much better now.

If you think 55 is fast, try 57 (the last daily build)

I'm super excited. The only thing keeping me on Chrom(e)(ium) is U2F support now. Assuming FF can keep the speed up.

I've always been a little afraid of the daily builds, but I just saw a mozilla blog post asking people to use it and report bugs, so I've been thinking about it.

I use both Chrome and firefox daily for different things

I had to install pulseaudio in sus 42.3

@chaskes Firefox packages them in self contained folders so it's easy and you can always switch to stable if you need to

@Seth Yeah, I didn't realize that until tonight when I unpacked a 55 binary into home.

Oops lol

No, that's how I got 55 to run outside of the pkg mgr

I hate unpacking things into the wrong folder. Always makes such a mess.

@chaskes oh. I may have misunderstood your message

Oh, yeah, not like that that. lol

Can anyone here help me configure lxd? I just need to know how to create the 'lxd' group

I'm working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

I have 6x GPU Zotac Nvdia GTX 1060 with 3GB of RAM

After long struggle I've installed CUDA drivers

In order to do that I've uninstalled nouveau drivers...

Process has been too complicated - it shouldn't be that complicated :)

How do I tell if CUDA drivers have been installed properly and I can use GPU efficiently?

I'm determined and fairly technical. So far "invested" (wasted) two days of effort. I was wondering if Linux is still around? I did a quick Google search for operating system usage and it seems like Windows + MacOS + mobile operating systems...

@Seth Werid. Looks like a keyboard going bad. (I assume you've already tried blowing it out?)

@MichalStefanow Dual Boot or VM? (First one should work)

Just Ubuntu

Have installed CUDA drivers, now getting geth and ethminer to work

I thought most cryptocurrency 'mining' was done with AMD?

@ParanoidPanda alive

wut

/ on my system is mounted on /dev/sda5

But fdisk -l is saying that /dev/sda5 is a FAT16 partition instead of an ext4 one

And gparted says it's ext4, but mounted at /,/var/lib/docker/aufs

This makes no sense :/

@LegionMammal978 That does seem strange. Can you give the full output of fdisk -l and also parted -l ?

lm978@basement:~$ sudo fdisk -l

/dev/sda2           206848  102402047  102195200  48.7G  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

(sorry, it's a bit long)

Thanks. (No worries about the length.)

@LegionMammal978 I think this is the same situation as in this question (except that the MBR "partition type" byte is set to one that represent FAT16 rather than HPFS/NTFS as in that question):

@EliahKagan Hmm, not sure if that would mess up anything Docker is doing

Yeah I don't know if this needs fixing.

One of the reasons I'm not 100% sure is that I don't really understand why, in that question, the "Id" still says "83" (which is the id for "Linux") even though the the "System" column reads HPFS/NTFS. In contrast, when you run fdisk -l, the "Id" column shows "6" (which is the id for FAT16).

But yeah, you see, I was trying to figure this out in preparation to ask a question about how to remove sda7 and extend sda5 upwards so I have more disk space on /

Apparently, trying to move the root partition can cause Issues™

I don't know if there are any Docker-specific problems associated with moving the root partition. Aside from that, if you move the root partition (particularly if you don't have a separate boot partition) then you will very likely have to reinstall GRUB. Other than that, I haven't had problems doing it.

How are your partitions identified in /etc/fstab? If they're identified by UUID or label (and the labels are unique), then I wouldn't expect you'd have to do anything special except reinstall GRUB. (I emphasize that I'm not necessarily familiar with all the relevant details and this is a guess rather than a guarantee.)

# / was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=f1a0e0a8-ba0a-44cd-9e99-93d2ef8bdf4c /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=7c5ce371-9e81-4eff-a779-41b2ca90c683 none            swap    sw              0       0

UUID=dd44a86e-ac46-4709-b40b-5e23165f25e7 /home ext4 auto,owner,dev,exec,noiversion,nosuid,rw 0 2

So I guess it might work

@Fabby The enter key works 100% of the time elsewhere..

Hello :)

@Seth I agree ... firefox 57 will be a good alternative to chromium ... and although it is alpha (nightly), it runs very stable already. Hi Seth ! :)

Rinzy ! :)

@Rinzwind more points than here ??? :D :D :D

@cl-netbox yes... and in real money it would cost me 20 euro

Hi folks

I am following those steps to add a directory to my PATH:

simply edit ~/.profile

gedit ~/.profile

find the following line:

PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"

and change it to:

PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH:/usr/hitech/picc/9.82/bin"

but my .profile file contains:

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin directories
PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"


. /home/yalishanda/torch/install/bin/torch-activate


. /home/yalishanda/torch/install/bin/torch-activate


. /home/yalishanda/torch/install/bin/torch-activate


. /home/yalishanda/torch/install/bin/torch-activate


. /home/yalishanda/torch/install/bin/torch-activate

should I add a new line like the one for torch-activate or should I litteraly change PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" ?

1. far too many comments 2. Hardware problem.

@ParanoidPanda Yeah, they make nice music

if sudo apt update actually updates a local list of available packages I can install

I suppose it must be possible to have a look at my local list

Just 1163 more repz to go to before 10k :)

How can I do that? Where is it located?

@LandonZeKepitelOfGreytBritn /var/lib/apt/lists/

@ParanoidPanda If you want a sad ballad, try "Euch zum Geleit".

It was actually inspired by the suicide letter of a relative or good friend of one of the band members.

@AndroidDev thanks :)

I also like "Dein Anblick", which is also rather slow and calm, but a love song.

on a sidenote sometimes I see don't know whether an installation is still running or whether it just froze. Using the cmd top outputs a load of processes, how can I find out whether smth is wrong or whether it is still busy installing?

In my case I did: sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk

and it s been 15 minutes...

I know often the --verbose argument can be used for that type of stuff, but not here

@LandonZeKepitelOfGreytBritn what is the last output line?

@ByteCommander update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/jmap to provide /usr/bin/jmap (jmap) in auto mode

I install quite a lot of software, build a lot from source. So it would be nice to sometimes have a trick to double check whether everything is still ok during the installation on my pc with limited ressources.

Weird. If it is really stuck at that line for 15 minutes, I'd guess it crashed...

hmm

Not sure if that is a good idea, but probably you have to cancel it. I'd uninstall and reinstall it again afterwards though

@ParanoidPanda You might also like one of their drinking songs. I especially like the guest parts by Fiddler's Green and Russkaja in that song.

@LandonZeKepitelOfGreytBritn limited resources? does that mean you get OOMEs a lot?

Fiddler's Green are also a great German band btw, although IMHO they sound more British than some natives. youtube.com/watch?v=xGrilkdA-7Q

@AndroidDev no it s just that I have a really very old pc with not so much RAM

@LandonZeKepitelOfGreytBritn OOME == Out Of Memory Error

I know

but that's the same as running out of RAM

That does it. Going back to 16.04

hah

beeps loudly

@Seth Hey Seth, lol.

@JasperLoy hey!

@Seth This is my latest video. =P youtube.com/watch?v=4n5vi6ktZnQ

@JasperLoy Cool! I will have to watch it later! :)

@ByteCommander now for example sudo apt-get update just froze

$ sudo apt-get update
Get:1 security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease [102 kB]
Hit:2 ppa.launchpad.net/jonathonf/python-3.6/ubuntu xenial InRelease

Get:6 be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-backports InRelease [102 kB]
Hit:7 download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu xenial InRelease

that s where it stopped, seemingly freezed and doesn t do anything anymore.

This is weird. Can you check your memory usage in another terminal using free -m ?

@ByteCommander and it just happened again...

I did ctrl+c to interrupt it, afterwards I executed apt get update again. The update went fine

now that I try to install a pkg I get the same situation:

1$ sudo apt-get install python-kivy

nope, that can't be it

Is any process consuming notable CPU resources? You can check that using top

@ByteCommander

what surprises me is that I have 6x luajit....

I ll kill them all

one after the other...

really strange...

Yes... no idea where they come from.
