| samo_ | Hello | 17:06 |
| === samo_ is now known as Guest10103 | ||
| Guest10103 | Hello is there anyone on willing to share their wisdom? | 17:08 |
| Mordoc_Mystery | Sorry, missed you question as I just joined... | 17:08 |
| Guest10103 | i havent asked yet. i felt sort of rude starting with it | 17:09 |
| Guest10103 | Im new to linux as in ability but several times a year since i was a kid i like to check it out | 17:09 |
| Guest10103 | i think it, and i, are in a place to use more permanently. i was just wondering | 17:09 |
| Guest10103 | how i could repair my boot loader for when other people want to use windows? | 17:09 |
| Guest10103 | when i boot my ssd drive i get the grub rescue prompt | 17:10 |
| Mordoc_Mystery | Hmm, this might be a better question for #ubuntu but let me ask a few questions. Do you have both Windows and Ubuntu-Mate installed already? | 17:11 |
| Guest10103 | yes. I had windows 10 on my SSD. Installed Ubuntu mate 2 nights ago on a seperate 500G drive. | 17:11 |
| Mordoc_Mystery | Okay, and then during install you put grub on the SSD or the 500 GB drive? | 17:12 |
| Mordoc_Mystery | It should have asked you that (I think) during the install process. | 17:13 |
| Guest10103 | I dont recall ever being asked. | 17:13 |
| Guest10103 | I am familiar with the terminal and manually editing grub. I have boot-repair installed so i can move the bootloader aswell | 17:14 |
| Guest10103 | When installing, i chose the something else option. | 17:14 |
| Mordoc_Mystery | No worries. Usually the process that I have had to do is use a Windows disk to repair the Windows bootloader and then boot Ubuntu based USB stick and reinstall grub from there. Hold, I'm looking for the last page I found on this. | 17:15 |
| Guest10103 | i wanted to dual boot but i didnt want liux on the SSD WWITH windows. small ssd | 17:15 |
| Mordoc_Mystery | I get that, we work with what we got right? | 17:17 |
| Guest10103 | youre a really cool person. | 17:17 |
| Guest10103 | i just wanted you to know that | 17:17 |
| Mordoc_Mystery | I can't find the original one that I used but this has the just of it: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/33433/restore-the-windows-boot-loader-after-an-ubuntu-update/ | 17:18 |
| Guest10103 | thank you. seriously. this is the first time ive ever spoken to a linux user | 17:19 |
| Mordoc_Mystery | Basically, use a Windows disk or USB and fix their stuff so you can get to Windows at least and then at the end they recommend using EasyBCD to go from there. | 17:19 |
| Guest10103 | ive heard of easyBCD so i shouldnt have any trouble. | 17:19 |
| Mordoc_Mystery | No worries! People are great around here...and the MATE community is one of the better ones in my books. Have a great day and hopefully all goes well. | 17:20 |

| alexpc | i ve created a bootable pen driver in ubunto mate and i can´t reverse it | 17:44 |
| alexpc | ubunto mate 16,04 lts | 17:45 |
| karine__ | sorry but I can not help you on this question, please go to the ubuntu mate forum from your country | 17:48 |
| alexpc | i have created a pen driver bootable in ubunto mate 16,04 lts i should i have do to reverse it? | 17:48 |
| karine__ | your question is too specific | 17:49 |
| Akuli | alexpc, you mean make it normal non-bootable? | 17:49 |
| Akuli | like it was before | 17:49 |
| alexpc | yes a bootable pen driver | 17:49 |
| Akuli | do you want to make it bootable, or make it not bootable? | 17:49 |
| alexpc | it worked wonderfully howsover i would like to rever it | 17:50 |
| alexpc | i shoud i have do to rever it form bootable pen driver to normal pendriver | 17:51 |
| Akuli | sure you can | 17:55 |
| Akuli | alexpc, i'd do that with the terminal, but i'm sure others here or on #ubuntu know how to do that without the terminal :) | 17:55 |
| alexpc | terminal would be great but my root password does not work | 17:56 |
| alexpc | in terminal | 17:56 |
| alexpc | i can enter system normally | 17:57 |
| alexpc | but in terminal does not | 17:57 |
| Akuli | oh, let's fix that | 17:57 |
| alexpc | how | 17:58 |
| Akuli | so, "sudo echo hello" doesn't work? | 17:58 |
| Akuli | what exactly do you get for 'sudo echo hello' without ' ? | 17:58 |
| alexpc | i get " hello " back | 17:59 |
| alexpc | it ask for password then " hello" | 18:01 |
| Akuli | so it's working | 18:03 |
| Akuli | let's go ahead and format your usb stick, plug it in | 18:03 |
| Akuli | then run this: lsblk | nc termbin.com 9999 | 18:03 |
| gordonjcp | hm | 18:10 |
| gordonjcp | he left | 18:10 |
| gordonjcp | I was going to pick a minor nit that a "root password" shouldn't work | 18:11 |
| gordonjcp | root passwords are obsolete | 18:11 |
| gordonjcp | we've had sudo for like 25 years now | 18:12 |
| Guest10103 | Hi again guys. is anyone bored and wanting to share some knowledge> | 19:00 |
| gordonjcp | Guest10103: don't ask to ask | 19:20 |
| Langley | Help, I'm trying to boot my 16.04 USB stick but it's stuck forever on the MATE logo with the five dots changing color underneath | 19:34 |
| Akuli | Langley, how forever? | 19:41 |
| Akuli | Also, does 14.04 work? | 19:41 |
| Akuli | how much ram? | 19:41 |
| Langley | At least 5 minutes. Haven't tried anything else. 16GB | 19:43 |
| Langley | I'll try it on my other computer | 19:43 |
| Akuli | that's weird | 19:44 |
| Akuli | you basically have the best computer in the world compared to my boxes, and it doesn't boot :D | 19:45 |
| Akuli | try 14.04 maybe it works | 19:45 |
| Akuli | you can then upgrade to 16.04... or wait 15.10 might be better for that | 19:45 |
| Langley | It's not working on my other computer either... Maybe it's the USB stick, I couldn't use it to install Calculate Linux either | 19:48 |
| Akuli | That might explain it | 19:48 |
| gordonjcp | Langley: could be a dodgy stick | 19:48 |
| gordonjcp | Langley: can you boot verbosely and see what it sticks on? | 19:49 |
| Akuli | how did you download the iso? | 19:49 |
| Akuli | torrent or no torrent? | 19:49 |
| Langley | Torrents | 19:49 |
| Langley | How to boot verbosely? | 19:49 |
| Akuli | i have no idea in ubuntu mate | 19:49 |
| Akuli | but if you can figure out how, remove 'quiet splash' from the boot optins | 19:50 |
| Akuli | options | 19:50 |
| Langley | Oh I got into the menu by pressing Tab... gonna try checking the "disc" for defects | 19:52 |
| Langley | And trying booting with another stick now | 19:53 |
| Langley | Hm that one booted instantly... so my stick is ruined, huh... | 19:53 |
| Langley | Okay so do you people recommend swap? Even with 16 or 12 GB RAM? | 19:57 |
| Akuli | no swap | 19:57 |
| Akuli | unless you want to suspend to disk | 19:57 |
| Akuli | which generally doesn't work that well in linux anyway :) | 19:58 |
| Langley | Cool | 19:58 |
| Akuli | Langley, which program did you use to write the image to stick? | 19:58 |
| Langley | dd | 19:59 |
| Akuli | that's not the problem then | 19:59 |
| Langley | The check found a problem with one file, on the other USB stick | 19:59 |
| Langley | Great I'm just getting "read error" on my first boot | 20:09 |
| Akuli | read error? | 20:12 |
| Akuli | weird | 20:12 |
| Langley | I did install it to an old hard drive, but still... | 20:16 |
| Akuli | That explains it to me :) | 20:19 |
| Akuli | don't expect erroneous hard drives to hold an operating system for more than a few weeks at a time :) | 20:19 |
| Langley | But why should it be erroneous | 20:21 |
| Langley | It installed fine on my other computer though... | 20:25 |
| WattisLove | Hello. Just installed the new 16.04 and had some trouble connecting to network. Typing the wifi password and clicking "connect" led to nothing. Only way was to manually edit the connection and save the password there. | 23:21 |
| randall | that's a new one to me | 23:22 |
