MyrttiI wonder if I need to continue staying in my pillow fort06:35
zmoylan-pidid you bring supplies into the fort to last a few days?06:37
MyrttiI wish I had, should've locked myself in without internet06:38
zmoylan-pido you have a loyal minion who can be summoned to get supplies sent in?06:39
Myrttilook, I appreciate the wish and need of Britons to roll sleeves up and start working on what from now, but I hope and wish people remember that there are going to be people that will have to do all that AND possibly in a place that doesn't feel quite so safe, welcoming and home anymore.06:42
Myrttizmoylan-pi: yeah, to some degree06:43
zmoylan-pifar right seem to have been on the streets across all of europe over the weekend.... even 20 or so muppets in dublin allegedly06:43
MyrttiI live in East Anglia close to those notes left through the Polish people's mail boxes. I've known the area isn't the most welcoming to any immigrants since first visiting here in election season, but it still came as a shock.06:47
zmoylan-pifingers crossed things settle down soon... :-(06:58

velushey all, does ubuntu support finger print login?16:00
Myrttidepends on the device, I've heard rumours that there might be a device that works, but they were very distant and faint rumours16:01
Myrttiwell, "works" in some value of working16:01
ali1234there is at least one laptop which is supposedly ubuntu certified which contains a fingerprint reader, however i was never able to get a straight answer on whether or not it works16:22
ali1234also that was several years ago16:22
diddledandaftykins: just had a looksee to determine if I can flash that amd gfx card I've borked. I don't have enough power connectors to power it in addition to my normal gfx17:06
diddledanI've only got two gfx power headers, where one is used for my nvidia and the amd requires two17:07
diddledanI'll have to take some time to pull-out my nvidia and put a cheapy passive card in that I've got to try the actual flash17:11
diddledaninteresting. redhat just announced they're supporting openjdk on windows now17:14
diddledanthey're doing "devnation" keynote right now: https://youtu.be/nxnIpgHQ-Gw17:14
ali1234is there a way to make the ubuntu installer automatically partition a blank drive without creating swap?18:04
popeyali1234: you could pass it a pre-seed which specifies a different disk format18:49
popeyhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopCDOptions18:49
ali1234hmm18:49
ali1234ythat would mean writing my own preseed?18:50
ali1234i could also just delete the swap file and then resize the root partition18:50
popeyyou could fiddle the existing one18:51
popeythe disk layout bit isn't hard18:51
ali1234where can i find it?18:51
ali1234and how do i get my modified one onto the installer?18:51
ali1234put it on a webserver and then pass the url at the boot prompt?18:52
popeyi think so18:52
popeynot tried for a while18:52
ali1234i ordered a new computer with 32GB... i don't really want to use 20% of my SSD for swap...18:54
popeyuse manual partitioning?18:58
ali1234i don't know how any more18:58
ali1234new computer is EFI18:58
davmor2ali1234: you could use kickstart19:00
ali1234using a preseed doesn't appear to help19:05
ali1234it offers the same choices as the menus, and i'd have to define the partitions i want manually19:05
velusunihey all19:08
popeyhello19:09
davmor2ali1234: well yes you would have to do that, but it could then be automated at least19:20
davmor2velusuni: hello19:20
ali1234as i said, i don't know how to manually partition. just want exactly what the installer would give me, except without a swap partition19:20
ali1234i only need to do this once19:20
davmor2ali1234: no then, why do you want to drop swap19:21
ali1234because i will have 32GB of RAM19:22
davmor2ali1234: yes and?19:22
popeyyeah, manually partitioning step19:22
ali1234and the installer will therefore create a 32GB swap partition on my SSD, wasting a large percentage of it19:23
popeypersonally, I'd go through the installer, let it make swap then delete it afterwards and expand root19:23
ali1234yeah, i think that is what i am going to have to do19:23
popeythat way you get all the efi stuff setup correctly19:23
popeydirty, but works19:23
davmor2ali1234: what popey said19:23
ali1234not even that dirty... expanding is trivial19:23
popeytrue19:24
ali1234shrinking is the tricky one19:24
