[01:17] <craysiii> went into the computer store for screws, came out with a 4 bay hotswap cage
[01:35] <craysiii> i made a grave mistake
[01:36] <craysiii> tar'd my ~, forgot i had a bunch of 10GB steam games..
[01:41] <craysiii> its copying my trash too noooooooooo
[02:00] <amjjawad> hi craysiii :) how about helping us to test Ubuntu GNOME 14.04.4? rather than posting off-topic stuff here? :)
[02:01] <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 :)
[04:11] <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
[04:13] <darkxst> craysiii, maybe, not sure, but the nvidia modules won't be signed
[04:14] <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
[04:15] <craysiii> thanks
[04:16] <darkxst> huh? secure boot shouldn't requite a password!
[04:57] <berglh_> lel
[05:03] <craysiii> Disks doesn't have the ability to create partitions within a disk?
[05:04]  * berglh raises eyebrow
[05:04] <craysiii> I have a new SSD and i can't seem to create multiple partitions on it
[05:05] <berglh> during the 16.04 installer?
[05:05] <craysiii> yeah
[05:05] <craysiii> in either Disks or GParted
[05:06] <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 :)
[05:10] <berglh> :yes:
[05:11] <craysiii> is there a preferred partition table type
[05:11] <craysiii> gpt vs msdos vs ..
[05:12] <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?
[05:13] <berglh> you may need to create an EFI partition of like 200 MB
[05:13] <berglh> and assign it boot flag
[05:14] <craysiii> doesn't the installer normally take care of that?
[05:15] <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
[05:18] <craysiii> so in the free space of the drive, i selected efi partition, but i don't see anywhere to set flags
[05:19] <berglh> https://f.bytefuse.net/b222db7.png
[05:20] <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
[05:21] <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
[05:23] <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?
[05:30] <craysiii> http://i.imgur.com/zEvXVX1.jpg i went ahead and tried to install and got this msg and it kinda softlocked
[05:50] <berglh> hmm
[05:51] <berglh> pretty sure i partitioned it with gparted first and then did the installer
[05:52] <berglh> did the ssd have an os on it previously?
[05:52] <craysiii> getting closer but no cigar.
[06:18] <craysiii> ubiquity is very buggy to say the least
[06:21] <mgedmin> 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] <mgedmin> testdrive is quite horribly unmaintained, isn't it?
[14:18]  * 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
[20:01] <craysiii> enjoying 16.04 so far. why does gnome come with thunderbird instead of geary?
