RoadRunnerAfter restoring an image to a different partition, need help editing fstab00:15
RoadRunner(copied my sda5 into a newly created sda7) - how to create a unique UUID for the new partition (/dev/sda7) in fstab?00:17
daxwhat filesystem are you using?00:22
RoadRunnerext400:22
daxsudo tune2fs -U random /dev/sda700:23
RoadRunnerGParted seems to have an option for a new UUID but it is greyed out...00:23
RoadRunnerdax: could you please explain the syntax of the above command?00:24
daxtune2fs is a command that edits metadata on ext* filesystems. -U tells it to change the partition's UUID. random is a special value to the -U parameter telling it to make one up itself.00:24
RoadRunneri mean tune2...00:24
RoadRunnergot it00:25
RoadRunnerso I guess its not a good idea to just manually edit fstab and making up your own "random" number for UUID?00:27
daxinstead of using "random" there you can specify a UUID, if that's what you're asking. either way, you'll want to update fstab with the new UUID of the filesystem00:28
daxwhich sudo blkid will list if tune2fs doesn't, i forget what the output looks like00:28
RoadRunnerI mean is anything wrong with not using tune2fs and just manually changing UUID in fstab with a text editor; and if OK is anything wrong with pulling a random number out of thin air?00:30
daxif the UUID in fstab doesn't match the UUID of the partition, then the partition's not gonna get mounted00:31
daxso if you just make something up and put it in fstab, you still need to use tune2fs to make the partition have your made-up UUID00:32
RoadRunnergot it00:32
RoadRunnerIf both new and old partitions are ext4, is it possible to mount the new partition after booting from the old (or vise versa - to check files in them without rebooting)?00:32
daxYes. I'm not familiar with Xubuntu's thunar, but most file managers on linux can handle that for you if you click on the drive's icon00:35
daxif not, you can either create a directory to mount it and then add a line in fstab,00:35
daxor create a directory to mount it in and use sudo mount /dev/sda5 /path/to/directory00:35
daxhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions#Editing_Ubuntu.27s_filesystem_table and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount discuss the latter two options00:36
RoadRunnerwhat if want to have both partitions available in the boot menu and not have the new partition mount at boot automatically but to be able to mount it later if desired, what values must be put in fstab for the new partition (sda7) in the 4th, 5th and 6th fields?00:38
RoadRunnerand finally, after completing editing fstab, will giving the command: "sudo update-grub" be enough for the booter to see and list both partitions sda5 and sda7 as choices in the boot menu?00:40
dax"both partitions available in the boot menu" => do sudo update-grub after setting up the UUID stuff, should be automatically detected00:40
dax"what values" => on sda5 you'd want to put noauto, 0, and 0 for sda7. and vice versa for on sda700:40
RoadRunneri was thinking of leaving my original values for sda5, which were: errors=remount-ro 0       1; so with that being the case, what values for sda7?00:44
daxin the fstab on sda5, you want to keep what's there for sda5, and use noauto 0 0 for sda700:45
daxin the fstab on sda7, you want to keep what's there for sda7, and use noauto 0 0 for sda500:46
RoadRunnersorry, back in 15min00:47
RoadRunnerdax: I'll try it out, many thank's :)01:12
dax:)01:12
RakuHow do I make this software updater window bugging me to reboot to go away? http://puu.sh/nxuxP/0bc072cd7b.png01:27
mijkI can't get my radeon 3650 to work in xenial02:24
mijkI've tried reinstalling the radeon driver, I can't run Xorg -configure02:24
mijkxrandr --listproviders shows that I'm using I'm using the radeon module02:25
mijkI can't run glxinfo, it tells me unable to start swrast_dri.so02:25
xangua! Xenial02:31
ubottuUbuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) will be the 24th release of Ubuntu. Announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1479 - Discussion in #ubuntu+102:31
RakuHow do I make this software updater window bugging me to reboot to go away? http://puu.sh/nxuxP/0bc072cd7b.png03:01
Unit193Click the button that says 'later'?03:01
Unit193Of couse, there is the option to reboot in order to make it go away, which will also make sure you're using the updates you just got.  Or, could just kill it too.03:02
RakuUnit193, How do I make it go away for good though?03:13
Unit193Disable update-notifier?  Not recommended though.03:14
RakuI mean I still want notifications about updates, I just don't want the reboot nag03:16
RakuI'm not inept, I'll reboot when and if I have to03:16
RakuI click restart later and it comes up literally like 2 minutes later03:16
xanguaNo, it won't03:17
RakuI mean you can tell me it won't but that's what's happening03:17
xanguaThe only time you need to restart when updating it's related to kernel stuff, it's recommended you restart for the security kernel update to apply03:18
RakuI'm aware03:18
RakuBut the reboot nag never goes away, after I dismiss it it comes up again, ideally I'd like it to not be there at all but if I could just make it not come up every few minutes I'd be fine with that03:19
xanguaAre you using Xenial?03:20
RakuI think so yes03:20
RakuOh03:21
RakuNo I'm not I'm on wily03:21
xanguaRaku: then you'll have to learn to deal with frequent updates, other than that Xenial is still in beta and support for it is in: #ubuntu+103:22
RakuI don't care about frequent updates03:22
RakuI care about the 'You should reboot' nag coming up over and over again03:22
RakuIt doesn't go away after I click reboot later it comes up again a few minutes later03:23
xanguaAre you using any third party repository?03:23
RakuYa03:24
xanguaAnd this repository (ies) would be kernel or hardware related?03:25
RakuNope03:27
RakuI mean is the system updating on it's own? I see where you're going with this but wouldn't I have to manually approve the update and then the reboot nag would me up in that case?03:28
xanguaVideo driver?03:28
RakuYa theres a video driver one but nothing updated in the time that it would be coming back up03:30
xanguaThen I have no idea how "literally every 2 minutes"would the update manager run and ask you to restart03:31
RakuIt hasn't come up anymore recently now, maybe it was some odd quirk from last reboot03:32
RakuI'll let you know if it starts happening again03:32
VenomousRequiemHello!03:57
VenomousRequiemI'm in need of some serious assistance.03:58
VenomousRequiemAnyone on?04:01
RakuYou going to ask your question?04:07
RakuOkay I have new question, I have a manually compiled driver I have in /lib/modules/4.2.0-32-generic/extra which is where you're meant to put them but it isn't getting loaded04:41

GeekDudeI deleted a file from my flash drive, and it went to .trash-1000 on the root of the drive. However, no trashinfo file was created for it. Is there a reason why a trashinfo might not be created for a specific trashed file?16:41
xubuntu634hiho16:42
GeekDudeIs it okay for me to just grab the file out of the trash directory?16:47
GeekDudeEither that, or I'm an idiot. The trashinfo file is indeed there17:04
kgiancanif my device don't work with xubuntu i can disinstalled it (excuse for my english)17:15

knomethat's not what i meant; the xubuntu ISOs come with the option to try the system before installing17:20
kgiancanwhen i restart the machine running with win 10 only. But xubuntu is in partition create for it17:21
knomemaybe you need support in your native language... which is...?17:21

xubuntu40whello I'm new to linux. Could somebody please tell how to create a bootable usb on Xubuntu20:22
knomexubuntu40w, what exactly are you looking to boot from it?20:23
xubuntu40wI'm trying to go from Xubuntu to ubuntu20:26
knomexubuntu40w, the best way to do that is to install ubuntu-desktop20:27
xubuntu40wOk I've already downloaded the ubuntu iso. The problem I'm having is that I don't know how to create a bootable usb on xubuntu.20:30
Unit193You can use dd for one, or there's the startup disk creator tool.20:31
xubuntu40wOk, but xubuntu doesn't appear to have the startup disk creator or atleast I can't find it.20:35
krytarik!info usb-creator-gtk | xubuntu40w: It's not installed by default20:39
ubottuxubuntu40w: It's not installed by default: usb-creator-gtk (source: usb-creator): create a startup disk using a CD or disc image (for GNOME). In component main, is optional. Version 0.2.67ubuntu1 (wily), package size 22 kB, installed size 168 kB (Only available for amd64; i386)20:39
