Flash from Ubuntu's repos seems really freakin' laggy when in full-screen, and I read it had something to do with lack of hardware acceleration in the non-Windows builds? [01:31] Is there a third-party PPA that has a better / more featured version available? [01:32] flash for linux hasn't been supported for like two years tiox [01:32] you're either stuck with a really old version or using chrome's build in flash [01:33] Stuck with an old version then I guess. [01:34] That's super-lame, considering Flash works way better than HTML5 for me. [01:35] Trust me, I wish I could ditch Flash, but video runs way better on my PC using it vs. HTML5 no matter what OS I am on.

[01:59] cloning a disk with the following: linux swap, ext4 (ubuntu 14.04 boot), ntfs (win 7 home premium 64 boot) upsizing to larger drive [02:01] Craigwell: screw clonezilla === khisanth__ is now known as Khisanth [02:03] EriC^^, What would you prefer? [02:03] Craigwell: i was thinking about something but i don't know anymore, i think it won't work [02:04] if you dd it as it is, and it's smaller on the new drive and then resize it with gparted, so it doesn't mess up windows, but i guess when you dd it the partition table just extends to where it was and you can't extend the individual partitions beyond that? [02:05] i haven't tried dd yet [02:06] i guess it's the same thing, when you used clonezilla earlier you ended up with the same size as the smaller disk right? [02:06] the only hint of the error i've seen refers to sector info in mbr, conflicting with start sector of partition on new drive, which is understandable [02:06] i did yes [02:07] maybe you could modify the partition table so that it is larger, and shows the unallocated free space? [02:07] what did it look like before? like 100gb disk, and partition table extends over 40gb and it didn't mention unallocated space 60gb? [02:08] EriC^^, I have been able to resize the file system successfully and mount [02:09] i don't seem to have an issue getting the partitions to size up proportionally and expand file systems [02:09] seems to be a conflict in mbr cloned info vs what fdisk reports sector wise [02:09] then why did windows not work? [02:10] i tried windows boot disk repair, bootrec.exe /fixmbr and all that, it reports sucessful, but no change [02:10] i'm convinced one of the clonezilla parameters will affect the outcome, I just don't know what one [02:11] http://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/03_Disk_to_disk_clone [02:13] By deafult, Clonezilla will clone the "same" size of source disk to target disk. i.e. in this example, only 8 GB will be cloned to target disk, so the rest of 12 GB on the destination disk will be unallocated. If you want to make use all of the target disk size, remember to enter "Expert" mode and choose option "-k1". [02:13] it's on that website [02:14] yes, I did do that, along with -r to resize filesystems [02:15] I'm starting to think my issues involve how i'm handling mbr / grub etc [02:16] ...but i will read around on that site [02:16] thank you for pointing it out, i may find my solution there [02:16] sometime i have blinders on for some reason [02:17] i've doubled down my effort though, have my other laptop out now so i can take the time to try and ensure the next attempt is the last!

[02:26] Ubuntu [02:26] Software center is not downloading anything [02:27] EriC^^, yes to q1, assumed that's what you meant. MBR yes [02:28] I'm reading on that page as well [02:28] Craigwell: it says somewhere that sometimes if you resize windows it won't boot properly unless you reboot into it before installing ubuntu [02:28] wondering if I should disable -e2 [02:28] Craigwell: i just installed new ubuntu [02:28] unsure about e1 [02:28] Eric [02:28] Help me [02:28] no [02:29] j/k what's up? [02:29] yeah, what's wrong? [02:29] Ubuntu software center is not downloading anything [02:29] sallu, you say you just installed.. have you ran software update yet? [02:29] sallu, might be part of the issue [02:29] Do u guys think . Is it any issue with servers [02:29] Craigwell: maybe you can have windows control the bootloader, then clone the disk, then boot into it a couple times then reinstall grub [02:30] http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/141219/windows-7-not-working-correctly-after-partition-resize [02:30] sallu, "software updater" that is [02:30] sallu: try sudo apt-get update [02:30] in a terminal [02:30] Craigwell yeah software updates begin automatically when i was asked to choose option to yes [02:30] Terminal k [02:30] sallu, i'm with EriC^^ , try terminal [02:31] Ok [02:31] it should be about 250 -300 mb of updates, assuming 14.04 [02:31] Craig exactly it was around 250 [02:32] I already did that updates and then restarted [02:32] Where is terminal [02:32] sallu, ctrl+alt+t [02:32] or type it in dash, icon top left corner [02:32] Damn damn damn linux mint is so cool with searching without even going to use mouse touch pad [02:33] i tried mint once. about 2008 [02:33] K craig its open [02:33] stayed with ubuntu [02:33] type "sudo apt-get update" [02:33] without quotes [02:33] enter password, see what comes back [02:34] Craig i did that [02:34] if it's updated, then try a reboot and try software center again. I just used it myself about 20 minutes ago, so I don't think it's a ubuntu server issue lol [02:34] Mostly failed to fetch [02:34] May be our regional server issue [02:34] i just tried a couple things in mine again, seemed to work [02:35] it could be. not sure how you would go about mapping to another server [02:35] have you googled about it? [02:35] or search engine of your choice, of course [02:35] i am going to system setting then software & updates [02:36] sallu: type sudo apt-get update | nc termbin.com 9999 [02:36] It says a lot.

[02:46] EriC^^, says nothing, [02:46] blinking cursor upper left immediately [02:46] no splash etc [02:46] i did try boot repair [02:47] I mounted a zfs volumn as a passthrough into my VM, I have the fileshare mounted at /mnt/mxtemp, but when I try to copy from it I get premission denied, even as the root user [02:47] is there a proper way to do this [02:48] hrmmm [02:48] zfs, vm [02:48] me smells silly [02:49] Craigwell: did you try pressing f8 immediately? [02:49] yes, it doesn't even get that far [02:49] Well the host has a zfs tank and in this tank is a folder I need to copy to the vm, so I mounted the zfs fileshare inside the vm and mounted it to /mnt/mxtemp [02:49] as soon as option pressed in grub, or after boot screen, it accesses hd for a split second, and then - blinking cursor and no other action [02:50] EriC^^, see the notes about sda3 here [02:50] http://pastebin.com/xu9EA7es [02:51] i think I'm going to try another clone now, [02:51] turning off "grub install" parameter, [02:52] will allow automatically adjust filesystem geometry for ntfs boot partition, [02:52] but i don't know what " sfdisk uses chs of hard drive from edd (for non-grub boot loader) is all about [02:52] think i'll turn that off [02:53] i think if i go -q1, that might bring dd into it. [02:53] i can also tell it to NOT clone boot loader, [02:54] Craigwell: this might be relevant http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1695733 [02:54] long story short, i think there are several parameters i can toggle off [02:57] Craigwell: also seems relevant http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-grub/2012-05/msg00017.html [02:58] that first link was interesting, i have exactly same issue [02:58] moving on to the next link now [03:00] hmmm boot info script.

[05:25] Hello, how can i disable all these ads on dash? [05:25] xrmx56: what would you like helo with? [05:25] help* [05:26] I downloaded the SteamOS beta installer and have a FAT32 stick, then I run this command in my downloads folder: unzip SteamOSInstaller.zip -d /dev/sdb1 [05:27] and receive this error: "checkir: cannot create extraction directory: /dev/sdb1 File exists" [05:27] /dev/sdb1 is my USB [05:27] Not sure how to google this problem or where to go next [05:28] hi [05:28] @bagginsDK: check out: http://lifehacker.com/5953180/how-to-remove-amazon-ads-from-ubuntu-1210 [05:29] !adlens | bagginsDK [05:29] bagginsDK: To hide online search results in Ubuntu Unity, go to System Settings > Security and Privacy > Search and toggle the option off. [05:30] Will it remove also google drive search? [05:31] xrmx56 can you just unzip and drag and drop it into the USB [05:33] @neurot great question - I tried extracting to the usb with archive manager, and it seemed to work. But when I tried to boot it said the USB was not bootable [05:33] so I'm kind of mystified, I would think this would be a simple USB installation [05:33] its FAT32-formatted? [05:34] Yep, I just reformatted it to be sure. [05:34] xrmx56: steamos is a distribution, you can't install a distribution on a distribution. you can install steam if you want by opening the ubuntu software center [05:36] xrmx56 Do you want steam OS the operating system or steam the program [05:36] @ben64, sorry wasn't clear. Using Ubuntu to download SteamOS beta, then put it on a FAT32 stick. Was going to install alongside Ubuntu. But this simple task is proving elusive [05:36] @neurot I was going to do SteamOS - there's a cool article in Linux Format on it this month and thought it would be cool to dual boot [05:36] why would you get steamos? [05:36] don't support steam they're evil and corrupt [05:37] cool [05:37] xrmx56: then you should find steamos support for that [05:37] wait why [05:37] @ben64 yeah I think I'm starting to deviate from #ubuntu [05:37] i've had my account deactivated for no reason [05:37] i had bought 160 games [05:37]
