I've installed Node Version Manager (nvm). It's working perfectly fine, but when I try to run it with supervisor, it returns "can't find command nvm". Someone an idea how to fix that?

Hey guys. I've been running an installation script that performs both an update and upgrade before it installs something. This update / upgrade process has been "busy" for about 6 hours now. I don't know how long this can normally take, but I'm starting to believe its just not doing anything. What would be the best thing to do for me at this point?

Ye I know they retired it. It's a good thing, but still, felt kinda proud almost reaching it, haha

On SO we had this extremely hard to get badge: Get +20 answer score on a question with -5 score. I was in the run for it with way more than +20 on a -4.. then they started upvoting the question xD

Ye I could've answered it myself, but I believe credit where credit is due :P

@Videonauth Already done and accepted :)

Maybe a bit of extra info that is added straight underneath that text and then just a link to that website as reference :)

@Videonauth I suppose a partial copy of that website would be a good answer: "You can't disable disk caching. The only reason anyone ever wants to disable disk caching is because they think it takes memory away from their applications, which it doesn't! Disk cache makes applications load faster and run smoother, but it NEVER EVER takes memory away from them! Therefore, there's absolutely no reason to disable it!"

@Videonauth Well with 16 GB ram I rly don't have a reason to worry, haha. Anyway, I've taken a moment to read that website you linked and it cleared up a lot. Thanks again ^^

Even video isn't that much of a problem. Just use WebRTC to establish a P2P connection between clients for that

PHP / Websocket. Developed it myself so there's not rly a type, haha

Have to say I'm rly impressed by Ubuntu's ram usuage anyway. The server's main use is a websocket based chatserver and despite 500+ members online, less than 2 GB RAM usuage including the OS and other services

Thx, I'll have a look at that

@Videonauth Ah ye that was kind of my concern. A few friends asked me to run a modded Minecraft server on it. Which is fine by me, but Java requires me to reserve RAM for that server (8 GB). Since it said only 7 GB free, that was kinda my concern

Thx guys, already working on a question :)

Hmm not sure about Ubuntu's "how to ask" rules. I'm from Stack Overflow and any "how to" question is off-topic there unless you've tried a few things yourself first. Since my Ubuntu server knowledge is quite low, my "What did you try yourself?" would be "nothing". Hence I asked in chat :P Also cuz it seems a rather simple question, haha

The server has 16 GB RAM and it seems to resever 6 GB for cache, which is kinda overkill if you ask me. Hence the question.

              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:          15498        1811        7478          31        6208       13326
Swap:          3401           0        3401

Is there a way to set the (max) amount buffer / cache an Ubuntu server reserves from RAM? When I do free -m I get the following info:

Never mind, found an answer here: askubuntu.com/questions/1111403/…

How do I enable the screensaver in Ubuntu Server 18.04.3? I know I can disable it by adding consoleblank=0 to the boot, but I actually want it enabled and kick in as soon as possible. Like 2 minutes of no activity. Just installed the server and the screen has been turned on for 3+ hours now so something is preventing it from kicking in?

Ghehe true that. I think I'll do that :) Thanks

@Fabby That's the only way? As I said: last time I did that, the server no longer worked

Nah it's a Dedicated server. I've got full root

@Fabby I know but I'm not gonna risk that. Last time I did that the entire server no longer worked and I had to reinstall it completely

@dessert pastebin.com/SL5z16mW

@dessert Let me make a pastebin for that. The output is a bit too large to paste here

@Fabby I'm afraid my knowledge is too limited to understand what you mean. I'm just a basic / average Ubuntu user

@dessert Thanks a lot for you help anyway :) I really appreciate it. I think my provider uses his own Package lists (if that's how they're called) instead of the default ones provided by Ubuntu and they simply don't have the package

It does not. But it does tell me 176 packages can be upgraded

$ LANG=C apt-cache policy liberror-perl
liberror-perl:
  Geïnstalleerd: 0.17-1.2
  Kandidaat:     0.17-1.2
  Versietabel:
 *** 0.17-1.2 500
        500 ftp.stratoserver.net/pub/linux/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
        500 ftp.stratoserver.net/pub/linux/ubuntu xenial/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

liberror-perl:i386:
  Geïnstalleerd: (geen)
  Kandidaat:     (geen)

@dessert The lang has no effect. But in short it tells me: liberror-perl:i386 has no install candidate?

Could anyone tell me how to install Git 32bit on a 64bit Ubuntu? I'm trying to compile something which is giving me tons of errors. Appearently the cause of this is that I have the 64bit version of Git and I need the 32bit version. I removed Git, but no matter how much I Google, all I can find is "apt-get install git". Which will install the 64bit..

@dessert Thanks :) I always do my best to figure it out on my own before asking^^

@terdon Right.. So in my case, web1 would be the owner and client1 is simply the group

@terdon Ah. I didn't understand that part. I thought the group was automaticly the owner

@terdon Alright, this is what I could make of it: askubuntu.com/questions/985597/…

But I'm working on a question to make it a lot more clear

Whichever user is running apache2 must be able to write to it. That's all :)

Just trying to fix that because I think chmod 0777 is just wrong, haha

@cairdcoinheringaahing Finally back. Thanks a lot for all your help! I'm going to have a look at all the information you provided and see what I can come up it. Truly appreciate it!

@cairdcoinheringaahing Sorry, got a phone call. I'll be back shortly. Planning multple, but mostly just Javascript, PHP and Python. Reasonably small snippets (Discord doesn't allow more than 2k chars per message)

Ah. Ye that seems clear enough :)

Alright

Alright, sounds easy enough. When I checked the source, it seems to also work with a token. Do I need to worry about that?

Ye that would be great. Honestly, all I need is pretty basic. Just send a request to the server with whatever data is required (langauge, code) and get the result returned. And ye, PHP can compress with zlib

@cairdcoinheringaahing Oof. Thanks for the reply, but I think that'll be challenging. I have zero experience with Python. My idea was for a Discord bot written in PHP. Hence the request for CURL or an API like some JSON package. If you could help with that though, I'm definitely interested. I do know a lot about PHP :)

Hey everyone. Got a small question. Is it possible to approach TIO through an API or maybe CURL or something like that? Reason I'm asking is because I'm interested in making a chat bot where users can send small code snippets towards it and get the result returned :)
