| craysiii | went into the computer store for screws, came out with a 4 bay hotswap cage | 01:17 |
|---|---|---|
| craysiii | i made a grave mistake | 01:35 |
| craysiii | tar'd my ~, forgot i had a bunch of 10GB steam games.. | 01:36 |
| craysiii | its copying my trash too noooooooooo | 01:41 |
| amjjawad | hi craysiii :) how about helping us to test Ubuntu GNOME 14.04.4? rather than posting off-topic stuff here? :) | 02:00 |
| amjjawad | Would you mind sharing useful information about Ubuntu GNOME or helping us? I don't find what you're posting here is useful to anyone :) | 02:01 |
| craysiii | lol no :) | 02:01 |
| craysiii | darkxst i'm in the install process of 16.04 and with the option "install third party software" it's telling me i have to disable secure boot in order to use the drivers. ive never had to disable secure boot before, if i don't do so will i not be able to install nvidia drivers etc? | 04:11 |
| craysiii | after the installation | 04:11 |
| darkxst | craysiii, maybe, not sure, but the nvidia modules won't be signed | 04:13 |
| darkxst | so you would no longer have secure boot anyway! | 04:14 |
| darkxst | I didnt think anything changed re secure boot since 15.10 though | 04:14 |
| craysiii | hmmm i guess i will preemptively disable it and restart the process so i don't have to remember silly password | 04:14 |
| craysiii | thanks | 04:15 |
| darkxst | huh? secure boot shouldn't requite a password! | 04:16 |

| craysiii | Disks doesn't have the ability to create partitions within a disk? | 05:03 |
| * berglh raises eyebrow | 05:04 | |
| craysiii | I have a new SSD and i can't seem to create multiple partitions on it | 05:04 |
| berglh | during the 16.04 installer? | 05:05 |
| craysiii | yeah | 05:05 |
| craysiii | in either Disks or GParted | 05:05 |
| berglh | are you booting off it? | 05:06 |
| craysiii | oh finally got it to work in GParted | 05:06 |
| craysiii | shit | 05:06 |
| craysiii | and no im on a USB drive | 05:06 |
| berglh | you are crazy | 05:06 |
| berglh | oh i see | 05:06 |
| berglh | live usb boot | 05:06 |
| craysiii | yes and yes :) | 05:06 |
| berglh | :yes: | 05:10 |
| craysiii | is there a preferred partition table type | 05:11 |
| craysiii | gpt vs msdos vs .. | 05:11 |
| berglh | you only need GPT for > 2TB i believe | 05:12 |
| berglh | msdos would be fine | 05:12 |
| craysiii | thanks | 05:12 |
| berglh | are you booting off efi? | 05:12 |
| berglh | instead of bios? | 05:12 |
| craysiii | i think so? | 05:12 |
| berglh | you may need to create an EFI partition of like 200 MB | 05:13 |
| berglh | and assign it boot flag | 05:13 |
| craysiii | doesn't the installer normally take care of that? | 05:14 |
| berglh | it can, i'm pedantic | 05:15 |
| berglh | [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo "EFI boot on HDD" || echo "Legacy boot on HDD" | 05:15 |
| darkxst | craysiii, if you do an "entire disk" install it should | 05:15 |
| craysiii | pedantry is good, and darkxst im not so i guess i will do it manually | 05:15 |
| craysiii | so in the free space of the drive, i selected efi partition, but i don't see anywhere to set flags | 05:18 |
| berglh | https://f.bytefuse.net/b222db7.png | 05:19 |
| craysiii | interesting | 05:20 |
| craysiii | whats the point of the EFI partition option | 05:20 |
| berglh | you'd have to right click on the partition and choose manage flags | 05:20 |
| craysiii | if you do it through FAT and set a mount point | 05:20 |
| berglh | it's how EFI boots your system from the disk | 05:20 |
| berglh | in a general linux case, you'd configure the EFI partition to load grub on boot | 05:21 |
| berglh | (which is what the ubuntu install wil do for you) | 05:21 |
| berglh | in my case it's a macbook | 05:21 |
| berglh | so i have El Capitan on there as well | 05:21 |
| craysiii | http://i.imgur.com/XpSbmZF.png this is what i see | 05:23 |
| craysiii | i cant just use that instead of creating the FAT partition and manually doing the mumbo jumbo? | 05:23 |
| craysiii | http://i.imgur.com/zEvXVX1.jpg i went ahead and tried to install and got this msg and it kinda softlocked | 05:30 |
| berglh | hmm | 05:50 |
| berglh | pretty sure i partitioned it with gparted first and then did the installer | 05:51 |
| berglh | did the ssd have an os on it previously? | 05:52 |
| craysiii | getting closer but no cigar. | 05:52 |
| craysiii | ubiquity is very buggy to say the least | 06:18 |
| mgedmin | whoa, ubuntu's going to use gnome-software instead of ubuntu-software-center? even the main unity build? nice | 06:21 |
| * mgedmin tried to test some 14.04 images yesterday, but the rsync kept timing out | 06:25 | |
| mgedmin | testdrive is quite horribly unmaintained, isn't it? | 06:54 |
| * mgedmin weeps | 14:18 | |
| mgedmin | it's been how many years since I tried to get the "Install Ubuntu GNOME" boot menu entries translated? xenial still has them in English | 14:18 |

| craysiii | enjoying 16.04 so far. why does gnome come with thunderbird instead of geary? | 20:01 |
