<n​inoni:matrix.org> I ask about it as this is the easiest way for me the new Linux beginner to download any app .

<n​inoni:matrix.org> I do not know yet well how to download files in different way .

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> > I do not know yet well how to download files in different way .

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> idk the answer to the first question but may i ask what distro youre using?

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Like the green M for mint the orange icon for ubuntu etc

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Like the green logo with a M character for mint the orange circular icon for ubuntu etc

<n​inoni:matrix.org> I have Ubuntu .

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Well I don't see an appimage or a snap in the repo listed (might be one out there) but there is a flatpak

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Perhaps theres a deb as well?

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> I could try downloading it myself but i need a minute

<n​inoni:matrix.org> Where is the best web page to see all available packages ? Is it a GitHub ?

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Saw a list here

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> github.com/monero-project/monero-gu…lling-the-monero-gui-from-a-package

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Though its not a lot of packages

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> and definetly not all of them cuz im pretty sure theres a gentoo one

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> and definetly not all of them cuz im pretty sure theres a gentoo one i used

<n​inoni:matrix.org> Ok thank you . I think I will need to show that to my friend who helps me to learn Linux to find out how I can download that if there is no AppImage.

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> if you have a terminal you can try

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> `sudo apt install flatpak`

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> `flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo`

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> `flatpak install org.getmonero.Monero`

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> i dont remember the gui version sadly

<n​inoni:matrix.org> You need to be aware I do not know well yet what all these commends mean . ... So first I need to place first line of the commend to tell the system what ?

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Just be careful with sudo its dangerous if you dont know what youre doing

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> apt is a package manager for ubuntu and many other

<n​inoni:matrix.org> That is my point . I think the safest way is to be directed by my friend .He knows all of it .

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> so the first command is

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> execute this as super user (super user may delete the system if he wants thats how powerful he is)

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Use the apt package manager

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> tell apt to install something

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> tell that something to be flatpak

<n​inoni:matrix.org> That is my point . Thank you for reminding me about safety which is my main priority . I think the safest way is to be directed by my friend .He knows all of it .

<n​inoni:matrix.org> I copy what you said to my Linux notes then I analize what you said as this is still not very clear for myself.

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Second is

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> use the flatpak manager you just installed

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> tell it to add a repository (a place it can look for packages to install on the internet)

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> only do this if you havent already got this repository active

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> name the repository flathub on your local device for easy access

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> internet link of the repositor

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Second is

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> use the flatpak manager you just installed

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> tell it to add a repository (a place it can look for packages to install on the internet)

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> only do this if you havent already got this repository active

<n​inoni:matrix.org> I copy what you said to my Linux notes then I analize what you said as this is still not very clear for myself.

<n​inoni:matrix.org> I mean the commends and the meaning of it.

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Third is

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> use the flatpak manager again

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> tell it to install a program

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> the name of the package you want to install. (on flathub theyre named like mentioned org.getmonero.Monero which is a little weird but it works ig)

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Hope that wasnt too complicated. Feel free to ask if you have any questions

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Third is

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> use the flatpak manager again

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> tell it "install" which makes it install a program

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> the name of the package you want to install. (on flathub theyre named like mentioned org.getmonero.Monero which is a little weird but it works ig)

<n​inoni:matrix.org> Thanks a lot for clarifying that. I am not sure if I will be able to find out how to do that but I will try . I have done some flatpack installation some time ago and then switched to AppImages as it was so easy to install via Gear Lever app. A bit like in Mac Os which I have had before. ... but I already know the AppImage is not available for everything so I need to start to lear<clipped message>

<n​inoni:matrix.org> n how to download app different ways as well .

<n​inoni:matrix.org> n how to download apps different way as well .

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Yeah all the options Linux support has the drawback of developers needing to support them so it can be overwhelming or tiring.

<n​inoni:matrix.org> Thanks a lot for clarifying that. I am not sure if I will be able to find out how to do that but I will try .

<n​inoni:matrix.org> verything so I need to start to learn how to download apps different way as well .

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> The appimages and flatpaks and snaps are supposed to work accross multiple linux distros at least

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> apt and its .deb file is distro dependent but i personally got for apt first because of slight performance gains

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> apt and its .deb file is distro dependent but i personally go for apt first because of slight performance gains

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> apt and its .deb files is distro dependent but i personally go for apt first because of slight performance gains

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Not super relevant but serves as a warning if you change distro sometime. apt install is not going to work on fedora or arch or the many others

<k​illercat103:xmr.se> Not super relevant but serves as a warning if you change distro sometime. apt install is not going to work on fedora or arch or the many others because its simply not included/installed

<a​wakeninglate:matrix.org> Hello Guys, I hope to find answers for my problems concerning Monero GUI.

<a​wakeninglate:matrix.org> After years of not using/updating I installed Monero GUI 0.18.3.4. Synchronizing Daemon took almost two weeks, and the pain is not over, because the "Wallets block Remaining" seems to take also maybe weeks.

<a​wakeninglate:matrix.org> the more its aproaching the end, the more it goes slower.

<a​wakeninglate:matrix.org> This is for me a big pain. Especially when starting up Monero GUI again.

<a​wakeninglate:matrix.org> Yes, I use a HDD, and no, the lmdb is not in C:\program files\Monero GUI Wallet, lmdb is located at E:... Why? I don't want the lmdb files eating away C:\ space. That can endanger proper functioning of windows.

<a​wakeninglate:matrix.org> C:\ drive is an SSD drive.

<a​wakeninglate:matrix.org> E:\ is an HDD.

<a​wakeninglate:matrix.org> Who is familiar with the solution?

<a​wakeninglate:matrix.org> Also changes to the "Restore Wallet Height" does not affect the issue. The Monero GUI ignores all the changes I have made, because it always falls back to the default value of 1487123, while at the moment of this message the height is more then 3334533 blocks.

<a​wakeninglate:matrix.org> Am I really the only one with this problem?

<j​effro256:monero.social> LMDB on a hard drive is really, really slow because it does a lot of random reads by design. Don't use it from a hard drive

<a​wakeninglate:matrix.org> Yes, I am aware of that, but is that related to the "Restore Wallet Height" problem?

<j​effro256:monero.social> No, the daemon has the sync the whole chain either way, so the wallet restore height doesn't affect daemon functionality. The wallet restore height comes into play when doing wallet scanning after the chain is synced

<j​effro256:monero.social> *has to

<n​inoni:matrix.org> Ok. Thanks for clarifying that all. Also could you add what you mean by that : "apt and its .deb files is distro dependent but i personally go for apt first because of slight performance gains"

<n​inoni:matrix.org> Where do I find apt downloads ? Is flatpack the apt file ?

<a​wakeninglate:matrix.org> Jeffro256: "The wallet restore height comes into play when doing wallet scanning after the chain is synced "

<a​wakeninglate:matrix.org> Thank you very much, that is insightfull

<a​wakeninglate:matrix.org> To be sure: that means the "restore height" comes into play when the wallet is ready with the wallet scanning (" Wallets Blocks Remaining" =0)?

<a​wakeninglate:matrix.org> To be sure: that means the "restore height" comes into play when the wallet is ready with the wallet scanning (" Wallets Blocks Remaining" =0)?

<j​effro256:monero.social> If you're asking whether Monero GUI updates the restore height after it's already started syncing, and then resyncs from that point, that I do not know

<j​effro256:monero.social> But it should affect the amount of blocks remaining

<j​effro256:monero.social> "wallet blocks"
