[09:19] <Hauke40> hallo ev1
[09:23] <Hauke40> i am trying to get lubuntu 32 bit on an old Laptop of mine. downloaded an .iso with the size of About 55 MB and created an install boot cd. After the Installation Progress now the welcome screen is a somekind of msDos mask when i was expecting a mouse and Keyboard Surface. there is another iso of 1.1 GB i found on the net. I will get myself some
[09:23] <Hauke40> empty DVDs tomorrow to burn that or can somebody help me with the shown Situation?
[09:27] <Hauke40> screen says
[09:27] <Hauke40> Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS rechner tty1
[09:27] <diogenes_> Hauke40, what system you got now?
[09:27] <Hauke40> then there is my Login demanded
[09:28] <Hauke40> i tried to install lubuntu, there was a choice during installation
[09:28] <Hauke40> still it says Ubuntu 18.04.3
[09:29] <diogenes_> what are running right now?
[09:29] <Hauke40> in this Chat? my new laptop
[09:29] <lubot> <tbs> https://lubuntu.me/downloads/ did u download iso from here? it sure is not 55mb
[09:29] <Hauke40> no, thats the one with 1.1 GB
[09:29] <Hauke40> downloaded it
[09:30] <Hauke40> i just have no empty DVDs and it's Sunday ;)
[09:30] <lubot> <tbs> so u should try it tmorrow:)
[09:31] <diogenes_> Hauke40, i still didn't get what OS is on that laptop now.
[09:32] <Hauke40> after logging in it says Welcome to Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS which would be the same Version like on the official site
[09:34] <lubot> <tbs> he s askin what u use on new laptop i guess
[09:35] <Hauke40> there are some links to documentation, Management and support and the advice "to run a command as admin (user "root"), use "sudo <command>". See "man sudo_root" for Details. then i can write.
[09:35] <Hauke40> my new Laptop here is running Windows 10. the old had XP and thats why i wanted to Fresh it up with a more reliable OS
[09:37] <diogenes_> Hauke40, don't you have any usb pendrives around?
[09:38] <Hauke40> not big enough sadly. i guess that 55 MB iso is initiating a base data Installation for ubuntu and Downloads the most data later. one of the first Things that was asked for was the Internet Connection.
[09:39] <lubot> <tbs> even net installation iso is bigger
[09:40] <lubot> <tbs> 335mib is debian net installer
[09:41] <lubot> <tbs> seems like u r begginner like me
[09:41] <diogenes_> Hauke40, there is still a way to install directly from your HDD using your small usb but it's a complicated process.
[09:41] <Hauke40> 79.5 MB is the burned isos size
[09:41] <lubot> <tbs> i suggest you, while waiting tmorrow to buy dvd, try installing lubuntu on virtual box
[09:44] <Hauke40> i will have a look at that. If it is too much to do i still have tomorrow ;) Thank you two for trying to help
[09:46] <lubot> <tbs> at virtualbox u can install distros like lubuntu and others in app, so it wont effect your system and u can try distros, with that way u wou l d try safely if u can install that distro
[09:48] <diogenes_> tbs you don't need even that, nowadays you can try any distro right in your browser on distrotest.net
[09:54] <lubot> <tbs> i didnt know this, i just tried it now and it looks good

[20:54] <bwew253tgzwhbd> hello
[20:54] <wxl> heyo
[20:57] * bwew253tgzwhbd sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/QiSfbFIyycyhJkUpgVwIoeJn >
[21:01] <wxl> why not make a systemd service file that runs on boot and not use sudo at all?
[21:12] <bwew253tgzwhbd> how
[21:16] <wxl> https://askubuntu.com/questions/919054/how-do-i-run-a-single-command-at-startup-using-systemd
[21:18] <bwew253tgzwhbd> ah the thing is
[21:19] <bwew253tgzwhbd> nvm
[21:22] <bwew253tgzwhbd> ok look: i could also lock the resolv.conf so it wont rewrite after every reboot but thats not effective because the network here is so configured that i need to sign in wiht username and password to get internet (captive portal) so i normally did sleep 20 but it always asks for sudo password i just want to know how i can make visudo NOPASSWD but only for this script
[21:23] <wxl> you don't have to use sudo with that. it starts on boot, even before x, when your network is actually starting.
[21:24] <bwew253tgzwhbd> yes but to change /etc/resolv.conf u need sudo
[21:24] <wxl> yes but systemd runs as root so you don't
[21:25] <wxl> i've never bothered doing what you're trying to accomplish. i avoid messing with visudo unless absolutely necessary but here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers
[21:25] <bwew253tgzwhbd> do u like systemd a lot or why do u recommend me this? :o
[21:26] <wxl> with visudo you're ultimtely fiddling with security. i wouldn't recommend it in general.
[21:28] <wxl> anyways you want something like `user all = nopasswd:noexec: /path/to/cmd`
[21:28] <wxl> or you could skip noexec and leave a nice vector to circumvent visudo itself :)
[21:29] <bwew253tgzwhbd> thanks
[21:29] <bwew253tgzwhbd> where should i add it
[21:30] <bwew253tgzwhbd> end?
[21:31] <wxl> like i said, i've never bothered to mess with it. `man sudoers`
[21:31] <akemhp> Hey, i got exclamation marks on desktop icons (that i drag n dropped from the menu), why is that? Can i get rid of that exclamation mark?
[21:32] <akemhp> It feels like there is an issue, but there is not, programs are launching normally etc, i would like to have a regular icon, no exclamation mark on it.
[21:33] <wxl> that's… curious. right click > trust executable doesn't work?
[21:35] <akemhp> wxl, Yes it works, problem solved! Thanks wxl!
[21:35] <wxl> akemhp: it should be trusted by default so i'm not sure why that is and will investigate more.
[21:36] <akemhp> wxl, I'm not using the last version, it's 19.04 i think.
[21:36] <bwew253tgzwhbd> wxl i have a question about systemd: i did read some things and its fact that systemd did set the dns fallback to 8.8.8.8 by default and other stuff are these actually disabled in ubuntu/lubuntu?
[21:36] <wxl> akemhp: you better get to upgrading. that's unsuported!
[21:37] <akemhp> wxl, Do you have a link which describe the procedure to upgrade?
[21:38] <kc2bez> akemhp: https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/D/upgrading.html
[21:38] <kc2bez> make sure to backup first
[21:39] <wxl> bwew253tgzwhbd: you can see some subject on the upstream discussion here https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/8782
[21:39] <akemhp> Yeah, i have a backup already.
[21:39] <akemhp> Thanks kc2bez.
[21:40] <kc2bez> No problem akemhp
[21:40] <bwew253tgzwhbd> is full-upgrade not same as dist-upgrade?
[21:40] <bwew253tgzwhbd> what is the difference
[21:44] <kc2bez> bwew253tgzwhbd: They are essentially the same https://askubuntu.com/questions/770135/apt-full-upgrade-versus-apt-get-dist-upgrade
[21:47] <kc2bez> If you want a deep dive into apt I recommend this video series https://highvoltage.tv/videos/watch/5113c935-1258-4f28-a92e-ab87e3fbe9c1
[21:48] <wxl> about google dns and systemd…
[21:48] <wxl> in order for it to be used, four conditions have to be true. all of them.
[21:48] <wxl> 1. systemd-resolved has to be used for internal DNS. Ubuntu does this.
[21:49] <wxl> 2. you don't have DNS via DHCP (that kills the majority of cases)
[21:49] <wxl> 3. you don't have DNS set up in /etc/resolf.conf
[21:49] <wxl> 4. systemd-resolved isn't configured with a different policy
[21:49] <wxl> obviously that last one is simple to fix
[21:50] <wxl> in fact, it's a like one character fix https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=761658
[21:50] <ubottu> Debian bug 761658 in systemd "Please do not default to using Google nameservers" [Wishlist,Open]
[21:50] <wxl> (scroll to the bottom)
[21:54] <wxl> i mean you have tons of control over configuration https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/resolved.conf.html
[22:06] <wxl> finally you'll see here there's no FallbackDNS on ubuntu at 18:13 https://archive.fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/dns_systemd_resolved/
[22:15] <wxl> also if you want to see something interesting `file /etc/resolv.conf`
