| systemx_ | Hello.. I recently installed Xubuntu 16.04. During the installation process, I manually setup the partition scheme, and selected the root partition to be "Physical Encrypted Device".. Everything is working perfectly, however, I have noticed in File Manager an entry under the "Devices" category labelled "Disk", however, it is "dimmed", or unhighlighted (not as dark as the other devices).. Is this normal? Here is a copy of my fstab configuration: | 09:06 |
| systemx_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/19607598/ | 09:06 |
| cfhowlett | systemx_, I believe you are looking at the "hidden" encrypted partition | 09:07 |
| systemx_ | Thanks for all the help in advance | 09:08 |
| systemx_ | This 'df -ha | grep sdb2' might provide extra useful information: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19608151/ | 09:11 |
| systemx_ | Due to the same exact size.. this leads me to believe you are correct.. I'm just worried and wanted to verify | 09:11 |
| cfhowlett | please ask in the main #ubuntu channel. more eyes to see. I'm no encrpytion expert, sadly | 09:12 |
| rsevero | Hi. I recently upgraded my home network t0 16.04. I use nfs mounts and one of the mounts uses cross mounting, i.e., I have one share on my nfs server but on the server, under this share, on several subdirectories, I have several other filesystems mounted. I want all these filesystems accessible on my nfs clients. This worked just fine up to version 15.10. Now my 16.04 clients return a | 13:22 |
| rsevero | Impossible to access /multimidia/musicas: Operation not permited | 13:22 |
| rsevero | error when I try to acess one of these extra filesystems through the nfs share. | 13:22 |
| rsevero | I've tested on last client that is still running version 15.10 and the mount is working as expected on it so I believe the problem isn't on the server which has already been upgraded do 16.04. | 13:22 |
| rsevero | Here is my share line on the server's /etc/exportfs file: | 13:22 |
| rsevero | And here is my fstab entry on one of my clients: | 13:22 |
| rsevero | 192.168.13.254:/multimidia /multimidia nfs wsize=8192,rsize=8192 0 0 | 13:22 |
| rsevero | Any ideas on how to make this work again as expected on 16.04 clients? | 13:22 |

| xubuntu61w | Hi! I have a problem installing xubuntu 16.04 - grub fails to install during. | 16:57 |
| xubuntu61w | could anyone please help me with that? | 16:57 |
| xubuntu61w | I use ssd + hdd. root is mounter to ssd (dev/sda1), /home is mounted to dev/sda2. I thought maybe installler having problems with no free space for grub install on dev/sda, so I also left 1Gb of unmarked space on dev/sda (just to make sure it will be enough) | 16:59 |
| xubuntu61w | var is mounted to hdd, also I use my hdd as a media storage, its part is mounted to /home/hdd | 17:02 |
| xubuntu61w | anyone? | 17:07 |

| mrkramps | xubuntu61w, EFI bios? | 17:21 |
| xubuntu61w | yes | 17:21 |
| mrkramps | you need an EFI partition | 17:21 |
| mrkramps | otherwise grubs efi bootmgr cannot be installed | 17:23 |
| xubuntu61w | I'm a bit confused about what it should look like. Some sources say it should be in FAT32 and mounted to /boot/efi. But it's only possible to mount /boot/efi to ext4 | 17:23 |
| xubuntu61w | how this should be configured? | 17:23 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu61w, sda1, /boo/efi, fat32, bootflag, label ef00 | 17:24 |
| xubuntu61w | also if I select FAT32 instead of ext4 in gparted during partition, it offers me only two options for mounting - /dos and /windows or smth | 17:24 |
| === pavlushka_ is now known as Guest35176 | ||
| mrkramps | gaprted or partitioner of installer? | 17:25 |
| === Guest35176 is now known as pavlushka | ||
| xubuntu61w | partitioner of installer. thought it was gparted. | 17:26 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu61w, haven't done this for a while, can you type in the mount point manually? | 17:27 |
| xubuntu61w | I'll tell you in a minute | 17:28 |
| xubuntu61w | /boot/efi is mounted to /dev/sda1, /home is mounted to /dev/sda2 and / is mount to /dev/sda3. is it okay that /home is before / ? | 17:34 |
| mrkramps | i do not think linux will care much about the order, but it does not feel right ;) | 17:34 |
| xubuntu61w | is there any way to swap them to make it look good? without unallocating the space, cuz I want to re-use the /home folder from my previous ubuntu install? | 17:35 |
| mrkramps | nope, should work as it is | 17:37 |
| xubuntu61w | started the installation, hope this time it will work... crossing fingers | 17:38 |
| xubuntu61w | ...aaand it worked. thanks a lot for your help, have a nice day! | 17:52 |
| xubunewbie | mrkramps, though the installation didn't failed this time, the system failed to load. on boot I got an error saying 'unknown file system' and frub-rescue launched | 18:00 |

| xubuntu61w | Can someone explain why my IP address is listed differently in my broswer when I search "what's my IP" compared to the connection information window in the panel? | 21:32 |
| knome | does the connection information tell the IP is something like 192.168.x.x ? | 21:33 |
| xubuntu61w | yes | 21:33 |
| xubuntu61w | why is that | 21:33 |
| knome | that's your local IP address | 21:33 |
| xubuntu61w | Oh | 21:33 |
| xubuntu61w | Well, I'm actually trying to set-up a static IP | 21:34 |
| xubuntu61w | I followed a youtube tutorial that used the GUI, though I saw no change | 21:34 |
| knome | are you connecting through a router? | 21:34 |
| xubuntu61w | Yesz | 21:34 |
| xubuntu61w | *yes | 21:34 |
| knome | then most likely you should do the static IP setup on your router | 21:34 |
| mrkramps | actually the router's dhcp server accepts when clients connect with a static IP configuration | 21:35 |
| mrkramps | but this IP has to be in the IP range the router uses | 21:36 |
| xubuntu61w | I know very little about configuring wireless connections, which has made creating a static IP difficult. | 21:36 |
| knome | xubuntu61w, are you trying to set up a static *local* IP or a static IP for your internet connection as a whole? | 21:37 |
| xubuntu61w | Given the information provided on my router, can I do it myself using the GUI? | 21:37 |
| xubuntu61w | Static IP for internet | 21:37 |
| knome | then i would personally do that setup from the router, even if there might be other ways to achieve that... | 21:38 |
| knome | and no, you can't setup your router from network manager, you need to access the router's own interface | 21:38 |
| xubuntu61w | Hmm, how to access the interface | 21:38 |
| xubuntu61w | Using my ISP settings? | 21:39 |
| knome | well, that depends on your router... | 21:39 |
| knome | check your router manual for connecting to that | 21:39 |
| xubuntu61w | Ok. | 21:39 |
| xubuntu61w | If I were setting up a local static IP, would that require access to the router interface as well? | 21:39 |
| knome | basically all of them offer a UI you can access from your browser | 21:39 |
| mrkramps | login informations for your router might also be found on a label attached to the router's case | 21:39 |
| xubuntu61w | I can access the router interface, but I don't know what to do exactly once logged in | 21:40 |
| knome | xubuntu61w, setting a static local IP is different from setting a static IP for your internet connection | 21:40 |
| knome | which one you need depends on what you are trying to achieve | 21:40 |
| knome | ...so what is it you are actually trying to do? | 21:42 |
| xubuntu61w | Static internal Ip | 21:43 |
| xubuntu61w | sorry | 21:43 |
| xubuntu61w | (was checking to see exactly what I need) | 21:43 |
| knome | ok, then you don't need to change the router setup | 21:43 |
| xubuntu61w | ok, great | 21:43 |
| xubuntu61w | If you're interested, this is the tutorial I followed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9fJWDoX4nE | 21:43 |
| knome | and what with that didn't work? | 21:44 |
| xubuntu61w | Essentially he changes the IPv4 settings | 21:44 |
| xubuntu61w | Well, I'm not entirely sure if he's changing the internal IP in the video (it doesn't specify) | 21:45 |
| mrkramps | but this tutorial only explains how to setup a static local IP | 21:45 |
| knome | that's exactly what the video is explaining | 21:45 |
| knome | mrkramps, xubuntu61w just said he wants to set up a static local IP after all | 21:46 |
| xubuntu61w | Yes | 21:46 |
| mrkramps | oh, sry … missed this part | 21:46 |
| knome | xubuntu61w, so again... is there something that doesn't work for you in the video? | 21:46 |
| xubuntu61w | How can I verify whether or not the change has been made looking at my IPv4 settings? | 21:46 |
| knome | the settings show the static IP address you set when it works? | 21:47 |
| xubuntu61w | Can I simply pick my own? | 21:47 |
| xubuntu61w | When adding a new IP under "addresses" in IPv4 settings | 21:48 |
| knome | as long as it's in the same subnet as your router, yes | 21:48 |
| knome | eg. only change the last number | 21:48 |
| knome | it *needs* to begin with 192.168. | 21:49 |
| knome | the next number is most likely 0 | 21:49 |
| knome | then you can pick one you like as the last one, except that it can't be the same as the router's ip exactly. | 21:49 |
| knome | example: your router is 192.168.0.1 --> you can use 192.168.0.88 for your ip | 21:50 |
| xubuntu28w | In my router interface, the ip for my current device has changed, but not for other devices (they are still unique) | 22:13 |
| xubuntu28w | Sorry lost connection when messing around with settings | 22:13 |
| knome | xubuntu28w, if you want static IPs for other devices, you need to adjust their settings | 22:21 |
| xubuntu28w | ok | 22:21 |
| knome | (they too need to be unique) | 22:23 |
| xubuntu33w | is firewall enabled by default in xubuntu? | 22:41 |
| knome | nope. | 22:42 |
| knome | but you don't need a firewall in the regular scenario | 22:42 |
| xubuntu33w | ok, that's what I thought | 22:45 |
| xubuntu78w | .purple hidden file in home? looks like it's related to pidgin (which I uninstalled). Can I delete it? | 23:20 |
| knome | sure. | 23:21 |
| xubuntu78w | why is there a gnupg folder? | 23:23 |
| knome | xubuntu78w, don't worry about the hidden directories too much. | 23:24 |
| xubuntu78w | ok, just messing around (with caution) to better understand the linux file system | 23:24 |
| knome | basically all the hidden directories in your home are per-user configuration files (or sth similar) | 23:25 |
| xubuntu78w | Sorry I've been super annoying with questions this evening. I appreciate the dedicated support provided by admins and other users on this channel -- makes switching to xubuntu from windows very enjoyable | 23:25 |
| knome | no problem really | 23:27 |
| xubuntu78w | sudo apt-get install xchat returns an error "has no installation canidate" | 23:31 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu78w, hexchat | 23:31 |
| xubuntu78w | got it | 23:31 |
| mrkramps | the xchat package was remove from repositories with 16.04 … finally | 23:32 |
| xubuntu78w | why finally? | 23:32 |
| mrkramps | there had been some security issues | 23:32 |
| xubuntu78w | so is hexchat just a new repository with patches to the security issues? | 23:33 |
| mrkramps | nope, hexchat is a fork of xchat | 23:33 |
| xubuntu78w | is it secure? | 23:33 |
| xubuntu78w | compared to say pidgin | 23:34 |
| mrkramps | and there had been no really severe security issues, but development stopped somewhen around 2010 | 23:34 |
| xubuntu78w | Oh i thought it was still under development | 23:34 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu78w, hexchat is actively developed | 23:34 |
| xubuntu78w | it looks very similar | 23:34 |
| mrkramps | as said, it is a fork | 23:34 |
| mrkramps | basically hexchat is xchat from 2010 plus development until now | 23:35 |
| xubuntu78w | cool | 23:36 |
| knome | xubuntu78w, you might want to read http://docs.xubuntu.org/1604/user/C/guide-keeping-safe.html (also available locally from the menu under "help") | 23:37 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu78w, and btw. hexchat is storing password just as pidgin in plain text! | 23:38 |
| mrkramps | and i guess this is the only security issue both applications share | 23:43 |
| xubuntu78w | thanks, will check it out | 23:46 |
| xubuntu78w | I don't use a password with the application fortunately | 23:47 |
| knome | azeam_afk, please don't use awaynicks; /away is designed for that purpose | 23:54 |
