[01:17] went into the computer store for screws, came out with a 4 bay hotswap cage [01:35] i made a grave mistake [01:36] tar'd my ~, forgot i had a bunch of 10GB steam games.. [01:41] its copying my trash too noooooooooo [02:00] hi craysiii :) how about helping us to test Ubuntu GNOME 14.04.4? rather than posting off-topic stuff here? :) [02:01] 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] lol no :) [04:11] 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] after the installation [04:13] craysiii, maybe, not sure, but the nvidia modules won't be signed [04:14] so you would no longer have secure boot anyway! [04:14] I didnt think anything changed re secure boot since 15.10 though [04:14] hmmm i guess i will preemptively disable it and restart the process so i don't have to remember silly password [04:15] thanks [04:16] huh? secure boot shouldn't requite a password! [04:57] lel === berglh_ is now known as berglh [05:03] Disks doesn't have the ability to create partitions within a disk? [05:04] * berglh raises eyebrow [05:04] I have a new SSD and i can't seem to create multiple partitions on it [05:05] during the 16.04 installer? [05:05] yeah [05:05] in either Disks or GParted [05:06] are you booting off it? [05:06] oh finally got it to work in GParted [05:06] shit [05:06] and no im on a USB drive [05:06] you are crazy [05:06] oh i see [05:06] live usb boot [05:06] yes and yes :) [05:10] :yes: [05:11] is there a preferred partition table type [05:11] gpt vs msdos vs .. [05:12] you only need GPT for > 2TB i believe [05:12] msdos would be fine [05:12] thanks [05:12] are you booting off efi? [05:12] instead of bios? [05:12] i think so? [05:13] you may need to create an EFI partition of like 200 MB [05:13] and assign it boot flag [05:14] doesn't the installer normally take care of that? [05:15] it can, i'm pedantic [05:15] [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo "EFI boot on HDD" || echo "Legacy boot on HDD" [05:15] craysiii, if you do an "entire disk" install it should [05:15] pedantry is good, and darkxst im not so i guess i will do it manually [05:18] so in the free space of the drive, i selected efi partition, but i don't see anywhere to set flags [05:19] https://f.bytefuse.net/b222db7.png [05:20] interesting [05:20] whats the point of the EFI partition option [05:20] you'd have to right click on the partition and choose manage flags [05:20] if you do it through FAT and set a mount point [05:20] it's how EFI boots your system from the disk [05:21] in a general linux case, you'd configure the EFI partition to load grub on boot [05:21] (which is what the ubuntu install wil do for you) [05:21] in my case it's a macbook [05:21] so i have El Capitan on there as well [05:23] http://i.imgur.com/XpSbmZF.png this is what i see [05:23] i cant just use that instead of creating the FAT partition and manually doing the mumbo jumbo? [05:30] http://i.imgur.com/zEvXVX1.jpg i went ahead and tried to install and got this msg and it kinda softlocked [05:50] hmm [05:51] pretty sure i partitioned it with gparted first and then did the installer [05:52] did the ssd have an os on it previously? [05:52] getting closer but no cigar. [06:18] ubiquity is very buggy to say the least [06:21] whoa, ubuntu's going to use gnome-software instead of ubuntu-software-center? even the main unity build? nice [06:25] * mgedmin tried to test some 14.04 images yesterday, but the rsync kept timing out [06:54] testdrive is quite horribly unmaintained, isn't it? [14:18] * mgedmin weeps [14:18] 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 === charles_ is now known as charles [20:01] enjoying 16.04 so far. why does gnome come with thunderbird instead of geary?
