| radiomark | Hi, I've installed xubuntu, is there a GUI partition/LVM manager. One was offered at the install, but I can't find one on the system | 11:02 |
|---|---|---|
| andyfied | you an install on if you can't find one | 11:05 |
| andyfied | i think gparted was installed as standard though | 11:05 |
| andyfied | if not, run "sudo apt-get install gparted" from the terminal or find it in the software store | 11:06 |
| ObrienDave | gparted is on the live DVD, not installed by default | 11:08 |
| radiomark | Ok, gparted installed -- but actually I used LVM during the install | 11:09 |
| radiomark | I also installed a GUI 'logical volume manager' | 11:09 |
| andyfied | ah yeah, that's prossibly lvm2 | 11:14 |
| andyfied | which is a bit more flexible than gparted | 11:14 |
| radiomark | I'm setting up a PC for my dad, and I want something he can mange (he's reasonably technical) | 11:15 |
| radiomark | But that probably means sensible GUIs and not command line | 11:15 |
| radiomark | I might avoid LVM if there isn't a decent GUI to manage it after install | 11:15 |
| andyfied | you should have something | 11:16 |
| andyfied | yeah, you want Disk Utility if you can install it | 11:17 |
| radiomark | Yes, found the GUI one. I'm trying to shrink the root partition now, doing that from the live cd instead of the booted system | 11:17 |
| andyfied | should also be in software centre | 11:17 |
| andyfied | i'm reading that it's not installed in xubuntu by default | 11:17 |
| radiomark | I'm on the LTS version ... I can't see a "Disk utility" in the software centre | 11:17 |
| andyfied | https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/precise/gnome-disk-utility/ check this link | 11:18 |
| andyfied | and try to get it from there | 11:18 |
| radiomark | Ah, it's actually called "Disks" -- but that is the "gnome-disk-utility" command | 11:19 |
| andyfied | i'm mostly an ubuntu user, my xubuntu PC doesn't have a monitor so i'm only on command line for it | 11:19 |
| radiomark | Ah, the GNOME utility still doesn't do any LVM | 11:20 |
| andyfied | and yeah, things have weird naming things | 11:20 |
| radiomark | I guess I was hoping to use LVM as a way to snapshot the root | 11:21 |
| radiomark | So in the event of catastrophe he can go back to the snapshot | 11:21 |
| andyfied | ah, well there are other things too | 11:21 |
| radiomark | But I am not an LVM user generally on my own Linux systems | 11:21 |
| andyfied | me neither, probably a normal backup program would do though | 11:22 |
| andyfied | backintime does good snapshots | 11:22 |
| andyfied | it's easy to configure and has a decent amount of options, i'm not a fan of deja dupe because you don't get many options | 11:23 |
| ObrienDave | just rsync to external drive | 11:24 |
| andyfied | massively important to automate the backup process | 11:25 |
| radiomark | rsync and that sort of thing is good for me, but I'd like it for dad if there is just an easy way to rewind the main system drive | 11:25 |
| andyfied | grsync :) | 11:27 |
| andyfied | for the GUI version, but backintime is pretty good since it just uses rsync anyway but has a nice gui | 11:27 |
| radiomark | Thanks, I will have to lok into backup tools | 11:47 |

| parkerd | Hello. I have installed 14.10. I would like it to shutdown immediately when I click shutdown. It currently acts like Windows, demanding I confirm three times before it shutsdown. | 18:21 |
| Hedgework | parkerd: Mine does NOT do that, so I'll assume that's an Xfce4 setting rather than a system setting (as I don't use the stock Xfce4 DE)...at least that tells you where to look for the problem :/ | 18:22 |
| parkerd | I don't know enough to know what desktop I am using. Any help there? | 18:22 |
| holstein | parkerd: you are using xfce with xubuntu.. if that is what you are using... xubuntu 14.10? | 18:23 |
| Hedgework | parkerd: If you did not install and run something other than the default, you have Xfce4 | 18:23 |
| parkerd | It is. 14.10 | 18:23 |
| parkerd | OK. Any idea how to change the shutdown sequence? | 18:23 |
| holstein | parkerd: i would see if this is still relevant in 14.10 http://xubuntugeek.blogspot.com/2012/06/restartshutdownlog-out-without.html | 18:24 |
| holstein | parkerd: http://askubuntu.com/questions/339842/xubuntu-hotkey-for-immediate-shutdown is also relevant, if you cant find anything "easy" in the GUI | 18:25 |
| parkerd | I'll look at that link. | 18:25 |
| parkerd | Looks like I need to have a terminal open to execute "dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKi" | 18:27 |
| parkerd | I'll have to reboot. Thank you for the links. The first link addresses the problem. | 18:30 |
| parkerd | How do I leave chat? | 18:31 |
| parkerd | Elegantly that is. | 18:31 |
| Hedgework | parkerd: /quit | 18:32 |
| parkerd | Thanks | 18:32 |
| parkerd | Quit | 18:32 |
| bazhang | / | 18:32 |
| Hedgework | parkerd: the '/' was important | 18:32 |
| Hedgework | :) | 18:32 |

| andyfied | no way, the elegant way is: /quit If we do meet again, why, we shall smile. If not, why then this parting was well made. | 20:09 |
| andyfied | either that of /quit booty booty booty | 20:09 |
| Hedgework | :P | 20:13 |
| * Hedgework considers /part andyfied made me do it. | 20:13 | |
| andyfied | :) | 20:17 |
| parkerd | Hello. How can I get the shutdown option to appear in the Xcfe panel (upper right by default)? | 21:20 |
| elfy | parkerd: add Action Buttons | 21:22 |
| parkerd | I installed 14.10 and I can't find that option. | 21:22 |
| elfy | then you can right click on that -> Properties and set it to what you want - if you just want the shutdown button you can do so - set appearance to action buttons | 21:23 |
| elfy | parkerd: it's there :) | 21:23 |
| elfy | right click on panel - panel - add new items | 21:24 |
| parkerd | I'm lost. I right-clicked the panel, I clicked properties and I get a menu titled "Indicators". Here I can "Arrange indicators in a single row", "Align left in deskbar mode" or hide indicators by default, clear known indicators and some other irrelevant stuff. | 21:27 |
| parkerd | Oh, I can select Panels instead of Properties. I'll try that... . | 21:27 |
| elfy | parkerd: right click panel - add new items - add action buttons - then you can right click on THAT to just have shutdown | 21:27 |
| parkerd | OK, Now I have direct access to Shutdown. What I want is for the system to shutdown without any further acknowledgement: I click shutdown and it immediately shuts down. Any ideas? | 21:32 |
| elfy | what do you see instead of that? | 21:33 |
| parkerd | I get a window asking if I really want to shutdown. | 21:35 |
| parkerd | Just like Microsoft. | 21:36 |
| elfy | parkerd: works perfectly here lol | 21:37 |
| elfy | go to action button properties and disable the confirmation dialogue | 21:37 |
| parkerd | elfi, that worked. The computer is still in a hung state after shutdown, but the screen blanks immediately at least. I have to hold the power button in on the computer to get it to actually shutdown before I can reboot. | 21:43 |
| elfy | then you have other issues I would suggest - not something I'll be able to help you with | 21:44 |
| parkerd | Thanks for getting shutdown to work. | 21:50 |
