| otrenav | Hi. I have a window re-arrangement problem. I have a dual-monitor setup with 4 workspaces. When I had 14.04 my computer would go to sleep an come back and all my windows would be exactly in the same place. Since I upgraded to 16.04 this behavior broke and every time the computer awakens windows are moved erratically off place. I tried restoring to 14.04 since I couldn't fix it but now I have the same issue there too. Any things on how to fix this? | 00:19 |

| bazhang | logical, not really, get the browser plugin, start one, then the next, you dont need to wait between | 02:14 |
| logical | Ugh In this playlist I have like 80+ videos and I want to download them, going from one to another is pain in the a.. can it be done with youtube-dl? | 02:15 |
| logical | You can download youtube with vlc?? | 02:15 |
| tsquar3d | I dunno. Maybe there's some plugin for it. -_oO_- | 02:16 |
| bazhang | logical, pretty much the browser plugin, every video has mulitple formats and resolutions to pick from | 02:17 |
| bazhang | 80 could be done in around ten minutes, tops | 02:18 |
| logical | yea i have a great ff addon that lets me download instantly any format but doesnt give me an option to download a playlist | 02:18 |

| amincd | Hi, I've created a bootable Clonezilla USB drive. It works on two of my computers, but not my new laptop. It simply doesn't appear in the list of Boot options. There's a 'USB' option, but there's no 'HDD' in the name, like there is in the BIOS of the other two computers, which I assume means the new machine is not recognizing the USB as a boot drive. Any suggestions on how to go about troubleshooting this? | 02:19 |

| WhiteMonkey | come on | 02:22 |
| WhiteMonkey | wine doesnt work properly | 02:22 |
| bazhang | ask in #winehq WhiteMonkey | 02:22 |
| Capum321 | use gimp | 02:22 |
| bazhang | WhiteMonkey, there is no linux version of it | 02:22 |
| WhiteMonkey | oh gimp come on what version dude lol | 02:23 |
| logical | amincd on the bootup can you press the button (f2, f12 depends on your laptop) to choose from what to bootup and does it give you an option for a usb | 02:23 |
| energizer | WhiteMonkey: i have used photoshop cs8 in ubuntu on wine | 02:23 |
| bazhang | so check #winehq or use something else | 02:23 |
| energizer | or get a windows vm | 02:23 |
| WhiteMonkey | really energizer, is it working properly? | 02:23 |
| WhiteMonkey | yes thanks bazhang | 02:24 |
| === bildramer1 is now known as bildramer | ||
| WhiteMonkey | i mean the cs8 | 02:24 |
| energizer | WhiteMonkey: it's been about a year or so, but iirc, a couple things were broken | 02:24 |
| energizer | like filter > liquify didnt work | 02:24 |
| energizer | and the menu fonts took some tweaking to be legible | 02:25 |
| bazhang | !appdb | WhiteMonkey check here first | 02:25 |
| ubottu | WhiteMonkey check here first: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 02:25 |
| amincd | logical: yes I press F2, go into the BIOS, select the boot menu, and it gives me several options, and one option is the USB drive. I make it the top one, but Clonezilla doesn't start. I assume it's because it's not recognizing the USB drive as being bootable, considering there is no "HDD" in the name that appears in the boot menu like there is when I do the same steps with the other two computers. | 02:25 |
| WhiteMonkey | ooohh thanks guys! | 02:25 |
| amincd | It simply gives the USB's manufacturer | 02:25 |
| logical | amincd if it gives the usb manufacturer as a boot option than thats it | 02:26 |
| energizer | WhiteMonkey: also i think there's something called like portable photoshop or something that might be useful | 02:26 |
| logical | also what type of laptop do you have | 02:27 |
| amincd | logical: any idea why the program Clonezilla won't start? | 02:27 |
| WhiteMonkey | yeah i have tried the portable already | 02:27 |
| WhiteMonkey | it didnt work lol | 02:27 |
| amincd | asus 501jw | 02:28 |
| WhiteMonkey | thanks energizer | 02:28 |
| WhiteMonkey | haha | 02:28 |
| WhiteMonkey | i owe you dude | 02:28 |
| logical | does it come with uefi ? | 02:28 |
| energizer | good luck | 02:29 |
| amincd | ux501jw | 02:29 |
| amincd | logical: it has Secure Boot, so I assume so? | 02:30 |
| amincd | I disabled secure boot, but didn't fix it | 02:30 |
| logical | If your machine comes with uEFI secure boot enabled, you have to use AMD64 version of alternative (Ubuntu-based) Clonezilla live. | 02:30 |
| WhiteMonkey | any idea about Mr. Robot haha | 02:30 |
| amincd | reading this: http://www.tomsguide.com/forum/86522-35-asus-x501a-bootable-drive#7835945 going to try the suggestion | 02:30 |
| amincd | logical: thanks, I assume it's this: http://clonezilla.org/downloads/download.php?branch=alternative | 02:31 |
| logical | yes, i hope it works out for you | 02:32 |

| energizer | lordcirth: I'll explain my issue: 'Scale windows to display with largest controls' in Displays, makes everything the same scale, but that means that on my lower-res monitor everything is way too big, and if i pick '...smallest controls', everything on the hi-res monitor is way too small. | 03:03 |
| lordcirth | energizer, oh, DPI. | 03:04 |
| energizer | So i was thinking i could just write something that notices if a window is on a display and does GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.5 to it | 03:04 |
| lordcirth | I'm not aware of a way once it's launched. | 03:05 |
| energizer | lordcirth: the thing that makes me think its possible is that using that menu in Displays does modify existing windows, the only issue being it does it to all of them | 03:05 |
| lordcirth | energizer, oh it does? Yes I suppose that's promising. | 03:06 |

| TheNH813 | Is it safe to delete everything in .cache? | 03:19 |
| TheNH813 | I'm assuming yes, and I have a backup, but I was just wondeirng. | 03:19 |
| TheNH813 | Because it's over 10G, and Nautilus is bugging out. It's either bad settings or a mangled cache. | 03:20 |
| TheNH813 | Anyone knwo how to fix the search bar? It dosen't automatically select files when I start typing words | 03:20 |
| TheNH813 | Well, I'l find out after I reboot. | 03:22 |
| OerHeks | du -sm ~/.cache/* # this shows what you can remove safely | 03:22 |
| _unreal_ | is there some big event tonight, every chan I'm in is dead | 03:24 |
| TheNH813 | Well, that didn't fix it. But it certainly improved login speed. | 03:24 |
| TheNH813 | Well, I'm here. | 03:24 |
| _unreal_ | heh | 03:25 |
| TheNH813 | Say, would you know how to fix Nautilus when it dosen't search as you type? You know, where it selects a file when you start typing it's name? I seem to have disabled it. | 03:25 |
| TheNH813 | And deleting .cache only improved login times. Deleting Nautilus's config did nothing. Please tell me it's not in GConf. | 03:26 |
| YankDownUnder | gconf = dconf => You can use "dconf-editor" to directly edit the "conf" in a GUI format (like the old "gconf-editor") | 03:27 |
| TheNH813 | Thanks for that. I'l see if there's settings key relating to search settings. | 03:28 |
| _unreal_ | not sure | 03:29 |
| _unreal_ | oh this is driving me crazy, I want to pop my part out of the mold | 03:29 |
| TheNH813 | Woah, there's LOTS of settings for Nautilus in dconf-editor. I was wondering where all the settings were stored. | 03:30 |
| _unreal_ | TheNH813, are you talking active search when your in GUI? or in cli | 03:32 |
| TheNH813 | GUI. Dconf-editor. Trying to reenable search as you start typing. | 03:32 |
| YankDownUnder | TheNH813: If you cannot find it, bear in mind that the "Gnome" project tends to either add or remove things "on the fly" - most of which contradict the ideology of "personalisation" | 03:33 |
| TheNH813 | YankDownUnder: Ah, ok. I'l keep it in mind. | 03:34 |
| YankDownUnder | TheNH813: This has been a "sore point" in the entire Gnome project for years - hence the creation of "Mate" and "Cinnamon"...hmm... | 03:34 |
| TheNH813 | Well, I found an option that opens the search bar as soon as a letter is pressed. But, I'l keep looking to see if I can enable selecting files by typing or if it was removed. | 03:36 |
| TheNH813 | Or just switch file managers | 03:36 |
| TheNH813 | But I prefer the look of Nautilus. | 03:36 |
| YankDownUnder | TheNH813: There are man "file manglers" available...after several years, I've ended up with "SpaceFM" as it's a great overall tool that has the options from years ago that appear to no longer be "in the fad" as it were...but, as with coffee - we all like something different... | 03:37 |
| TheNH813 | "org.gnome.nautilus.preferences: Enable interactive (type-ahead) search. If set to true, enables interactive search, similar to Nautilus 3.4." | 03:38 |
| TheNH813 | That sounds quite similar. | 03:38 |
| TheNH813 | Hm... maybe I'l go with Thunar or SpaceFM. | 03:38 |

| Prasad | i checked everything | 03:40 |
| Prasad | the memory is also in FAT 32 format | 03:40 |
| Prasad | can someone help me to figure out this | 03:41 |
| TheNH813 | First things, a quick sanity check. Right architexure? Bootloader configured right? Blacklisted/added necessary drivers? Using a native filesystem (EXT, etc)? | 03:41 |
| TheNH813 | Live or hard install? | 03:41 |
| Prasad | hard install | 03:41 |
| Prasad | i got image | 03:41 |
| Prasad | ive loaded to my SD card | 03:41 |
| TheNH813 | Did you overwrite the SD card with the image correctly? | 03:42 |
| Prasad | yes | 03:42 |
| Prasad | i used win32 | 03:42 |
| TheNH813 | So, the drive contains a Linux filesystem, and you can confirm the files exist? | 03:42 |
| Prasad | yes | 03:42 |
| Prasad | i can see all the files | 03:42 |
| TheNH813 | Ah, ok. That shouldn't matter as the entire card gets reformatted during image writing. | 03:42 |
| Prasad | after writing to the SD card | 03:43 |
| TheNH813 | Is the bootloader installed? Have you tried reinstalling it? | 03:43 |
| Prasad | yes | 03:43 |
| Prasad | i did it multiple times | 03:43 |
| TheNH813 | Any errors, or just black screen? | 03:43 |
| Prasad | i used different SD card as well | 03:43 |
| Prasad | just black screen | 03:43 |

| Prasad | i cant see anything | 03:45 |

| Prasad | a green light is blinking in a specific format | 03:45 |
| TheNH813 | What kind of format? | 03:45 |
| Prasad | fat 32 | 03:45 |
| TheNH813 | No, you said the green light was blinking in a certain way. What do you mean by that? | 03:46 |
| === nhandler is now known as BirthdayHandler | ||
| Prasad | it is blinking like 1 1 1 1111 | 03:46 |
| Prasad | 1 indicates glow | 03:46 |
| TheNH813 | So, three blinks and four shorter blinks? | 03:47 |
| Prasad | yes | 03:47 |
| pavlushka | lordcirth: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23130772/ | 03:48 |
| TheNH813 | That is the SD card activity LED, if I remember right. | 03:48 |
| Prasad | yes | 03:48 |
| Prasad | the lights should not blink | 03:48 |
| TheNH813 | That appears it's trying to boot from the card, and keeps retrying, causing a specific pattern. | 03:48 |
| Prasad | unless there is some issue the green LED wont blink | 03:49 |
| lordcirth | pavlushka, network-manager | 03:49 |
| TheNH813 | Have you tried manually DDing the image? | 03:49 |
| TheNH813 | From a Linux machine? | 03:49 |
| Prasad | no | 03:49 |
| TheNH813 | That could possibly work. Find a raw image (not compressed), and try writing it with DD on Linux/ or DD for Windows. | 03:49 |
| TheNH813 | IT's obviously not being able to read the boot secotr\ | 03:50 |

| VectorX | hi in ubuntu 16 server, when you are in the console. is it possible to add a background image instead of having the black terminal | 03:55 |
| TheNH813 | Vectorx: Depends if GUI terminal or text mode. | 03:56 |
| TheNH813 | Text mode, no,, GUI mode, yes | 03:56 |
| Prasad | Thank you very much guys | 03:56 |
| Prasad | have a good one | 03:56 |

| c_nick | I cropped an image using Shotwell when i open the library i can see the cropped image but when i see the actual folder the the original images which were cropped are present not the cropped one. | 03:57 |
| TheNH813 | What terminal are you using (xterm, gnome-terminal, etc)? | 03:57 |
| VectorX | TheNH813 i mean its in gfx mode, there is no desktop | 03:57 |
| TheNH813 | Oh, just fullscreen terminal? | 03:57 |
| TheNH813 | Le\t me check my sources. | 03:57 |
| VectorX | its plain ubuntu 16 server console, yes | 03:57 |
| VectorX | ask your dealer too | 03:57 |
| pavlushka | lordcirth: my bad, it worked this time but did not affected the lan port, its light is flashing even after I removed the UTP cable from it physically, may be need a restart. | 03:58 |
| lordcirth | pavlushka, that could be. | 03:58 |
| TheNH813 | VectorX: There's a way to do that. | 03:58 |
| TheNH813 | VectorX: Basically, change the terminal application to one that supports background images. | 03:59 |
| TheNH813 | There's a config file oyu can edit | 03:59 |
| VectorX | do you have a guide i can follow | 03:59 |
| c_nick | I cropped an image using Shotwell when i open the library i can see the cropped image but when i see the actual folder the the original images which were cropped are present not the cropped one. | 04:00 |

| TheNH813 | I think that may b e it, but I'l search for abetter guide | 04:00 |
| VectorX | thanks | 04:00 |
| TheNH813 | That should work for both non-gui and gui mode. But the answer is from late 2015 so take it with a grain of salt | 04:01 |
| VectorX | i think we are out of salt | 04:02 |
| TheNH813 | XD | 04:02 |
| TheNH813 | Theoretically, you should be able to replace the terminal with one that supports images. Let me know if you need more help | 04:02 |

| VectorX | TheNH813 no that should be fine, ill try that guide you gave and if not got a better idea what to search for aswell | 04:06 |
| TheNH813 | Yeah, if that dosen't work, just set the defautlt terminal to another one that supports images, and there you go. | 04:06 |

| TheNH813 | Hope you can get tt working. Have a good one. | 04:07 |
| Apteryx | Can I re-enable modesetting *live* (post boot) ? | 04:07 |
| TheNH813 | I don't know. It's maybe possible. Likely a reboot is safer. | 04:08 |
| Apteryx | The reason I ask is because I'm troubleshooting a gpu driver over SSH. The more I can do without rebooting the happier. | 04:09 |
| Apteryx | Currently the system is up and running, using "nomodeset" boot parameter, so that it didn't hang on a black screen. | 04:09 |
| TheNH813 | If nomodeset fixed it, I'd reccommend keeping it or setting the VGA= option | 04:10 |
| TheNH813 | The VGA=<something> option forces a resolution. It's helped me avoid nomodeset many times | 04:10 |
| TheNH813 | But testing it still requires reboot. | 04:10 |
| TheNH813 | I had a system that would hang at a black screen, and nomodeset fixed it , but decreased hwo well it worked. VGA= was able to set a resolution to fallback to on boot, thus fixing it. | 04:11 |
| TheNH813 | Gotta reboot myself. See if I finally fixed that accursed Nautilus problem. Funyn thing is, it works fine as root. But nooooooooo the search when I start typing thing dosen't work as user. | 04:12 |

| TheNH813 | Who was it that | 04:18 |
| TheNH813 | was troubleshootign a server again? | 04:18 |
| VectorX | Apteryx | 04:19 |
| TheNH813 | Apteryx: Here's a link for you to VGA mode options. http://wiki.antlinux.com/pmwiki.php?n=HowTos.VgaModes | 04:19 |
| purpleidea | TheNH813: chown is okay, chmod is not | 04:19 |
| purpleidea | afaik | 04:19 |
| TheNH813 | purpleidea: Ok, thanks. I accidentally ran nautilus using my user config as root and it ruined it. | 04:20 |
| purpleidea | dont do that :) | 04:20 |
| TheNH813 | Not sure how I managed it, but that did some evil damage. XDDD | 04:20 |
| Apteryx | TheNH813: Thanks! | 04:23 |
| TheNH813 | Yup, just append VGA=<number> to the boot parameters. It may fix it. Especially if it's AMD or older Intel Graphics. | 04:23 |
| TheNH813 | I used VGA=0x31B for 1280x1024 and it really helped till I got a new card. | 04:24 |
| Apteryx | TheNH813: Yeah, nomodeset disables any acceleration and falls back to a bare minimum driver. | 04:26 |

| guest9108 | asura, what are "whonix key"? | 04:53 |
| _unreal_ | FaTony, are you trying to switch which video card your using? | 04:56 |
| FaTony | _unreal_, yes | 04:56 |
| _unreal_ | first of all is your bios setup to select which video card you want to use? | 04:57 |
| FaTony | _unreal_, lemme see | 04:57 |
| _unreal_ | FaTony, norm. to switch between 2 video cards in one computer, one uses the bios to select which video card to use. and linux will do the rest automaticly. | 04:58 |
| FaTony | _unreal_, I don't have a switch in the BIOS at all | 04:59 |
| _unreal_ | if your switching video cards however you may need to do some software adjustments or it may just auto detect the change and adjust the software anyways | 04:59 |
| _unreal_ | FaTony, do you have an onboard video card and an added in expansion card video card? | 04:59 |
| FaTony | _unreal_, it's a laptop which came with Ubuntu 12.04 and fglrx, I've removed fglrx and urgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 | 05:00 |
| _unreal_ | fglrx is for AMD video cards | 05:00 |
| FaTony | yes, so I want to use AMD card and not integrated Intel one | 05:01 |
| _unreal_ | dude laptops do not have dual video cards | 05:01 |
| _unreal_ | unless its SLI | 05:01 |
| daemon55 | i need help i just cant seem to delete this folder | 05:02 |
| Joral | _unreal_, even an sli laptop would have two identical cards and not one intel and one amd | 05:02 |
| _unreal_ | daemon55, most likely permissions | 05:02 |
| FaTony | _unreal_, Intel is in the CPU and AMD is discrete | 05:02 |
| _unreal_ | daemon55, ls -al /path of folder | 05:02 |
| daemon55 | what does that do? | 05:03 |
| FaTony | all modern Intel CPUs have GPUs inside them | 05:03 |
| Joral | FaTony, run 'lspci -k' and tell me what driver it says its using for the graphics card | 05:03 |
| _unreal_ | daemon55, are you trying to delete the folder from gui or cli | 05:03 |
| daemon55 | gui | 05:03 |
| FaTony | Joral, i915 | 05:03 |
| _unreal_ | daemon55, that may be your issue | 05:03 |
| _unreal_ | lol FaTony i915 is intel | 05:04 |
| daemon55 | how do i solve it | 05:04 |
| asura | ;/part | 05:04 |
| FaTony | I know | 05:04 |
| _unreal_ | daemon55, open up a console | 05:04 |
| _unreal_ | if you dont have one already | 05:04 |
| Joral | FaTony, what is the brand and model of the laptop? | 05:04 |
| daemon55 | ok | 05:05 |
| _unreal_ | daemon55, go to the folder that the folder your trying to remove is in | 05:05 |
| _unreal_ | and do an "ls -al" | 05:05 |
| _unreal_ | minus the " " marks | 05:05 |
| _unreal_ | or do an: ls -al |pastebinit | 05:06 |
| _unreal_ | and give the link here | 05:06 |
| _unreal_ | Joral, $5 says theres no amd gpu | 05:06 |
| daemon55 | you mean using cd? | 05:06 |
| FaTony | Joral, Dell Inspiron 3537 | 05:06 |

| _unreal_ | yes cd into the sub folder of the folder you want to remove | 05:07 |
| FaTony | _unreal_, lspci says I have Radeon HD 6780M | 05:08 |
| ricardo | hi whats up | 05:08 |
| daemon55 | what then | 05:08 |
| _unreal_ | FaTony, you just said i915 | 05:08 |

| Joral | wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself | 05:09 |
| _unreal_ | daemon55, are you at the folder area? | 05:09 |
| Joral | FaTony, can you pastebin the output of lspci -k for me to see? | 05:09 |
| _unreal_ | if so throw in the command | 05:09 |
| Bashing-om | FaTony: Show the channel in a paste bin the output of terminal command : ' lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 ' so we know what hardware you have . | 05:10 |
| Joral | Bashing-om, thank you for cleaning that up for me | 05:11 |
| _unreal_ | daemon55, and? | 05:11 |
| FaTony | Joral, Bashing-om, https://paste.debian.net/806687 | 05:11 |
| _unreal_ | daemon55, Ineed to go to bed soon, it is 1am and my 7yo will be all over me in the morning. what is the output? | 05:12 |
| OerHeks | that HD 6780M is not going to use the amdgpu driver, open radeon only | 05:12 |
| _unreal_ | lol | 05:13 |
| FaTony | I'm pretty sure I have radeon driver installed | 05:13 |
| OerHeks | FaTony, then be happy with it | 05:13 |
| Joral | FaTony, so the amd card isn't being detected, this either means that it is disabled in bios or if this is one of the removable laptop gpus there may be an issue with a loose connection on the card | 05:14 |
| FaTony | eh? Games say I use Intel, I want to use AMD | 05:14 |
| _unreal_ | or its not even in and its just an option | 05:14 |
| FaTony | it's in that paste: 03:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Sun XT [Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8690M / R5 M330] | 05:14 |

| Bashing-om | FaTony: Confirmed hybrid graphics at play here . again what release are you on ? | 05:18 |
| daemon55 | no xchat is proprietary hexchat | 05:18 |
| FaTony | Bashing-om, Ubuntu 16.04 | 05:19 |
| TheNH813 | _unreal_: One must always be careful with RM. With great power comes good responsibility. | 05:19 |
| _unreal_ | ok look for channel list download the channel listing and you may find a vpn channel | 05:19 |
| OerHeks | lolz, xchat proprietary hexchat.. ??? xchat is dead, hexchat is an active clone. | 05:19 |
| TheNH813 | I still remember my first RM mistake. | 05:19 |
| _unreal_ | TheNH813, My fave. is :rm * | 05:19 |
| TheNH813 | XD | 05:19 |
| daemon55 | oh i thought xhcat was still in the big picture | 05:20 |
| FaTony | the first GNU/Linux command I've learned was rm -rf / | 05:20 |
| daemon55 | woops | 05:20 |
| Bashing-om | FaTony: K; be aware there is no proprietary ATI driver in 16.04 . Lemme see what I can find to enable graphic's switching . | 05:20 |
| FaTony | Bashing-om, I don't want to use proprietary driver, I removed it a while ago | 05:21 |
| daemon55 | i had it on windows 7 and it said i had to pay to use it | 05:21 |
| TheNH813 | FaTony: My mistake was to do that to a system I was gonna wipe anyway out of curiosity without unplugging the clone drive. Woops. | 05:21 |
| daemon55 | so i chose hexchat cause its free | 05:21 |
| daemon55 | its open source | 05:21 |
| _unreal_ | no no an even better one : rm -Rf /path/*.jpg only to find that it deleted everything in the folder becuase there was no space between the / and * | 05:21 |
| daemon55 | unreal: i though it was your bed time | 05:21 |
| daemon55 | why are you still up | 05:22 |

| _unreal_ | it is | 05:22 |
| daemon55 | go to bed | 05:22 |
| _unreal_ | because I'm tired as hell and people neeed help | 05:22 |
| FaTony | I've coded my own backup program | 05:22 |

| TheNH813 | Is there a list of files copied to a new account? | 05:27 |
| _unreal_ | TheNH813, think its a permission issue? | 05:27 |
| _unreal_ | group list issue? | 05:27 |
| TheNH813 | Possibly. I tried chowing the entire config folder. | 05:27 |
| TheNH813 | I used the type to start selecting files feature quite heavily. | 05:28 |
| _unreal_ | oh well time to go to bed, any of you guys look at the links? I built that mold btw | 05:28 |

| EriC^^ | are the spaces literal? | 06:28 |
| EriC^^ | " My machine " or "My machine" ? | 06:28 |
| steven_ | its the lines | 06:29 |
| EriC^^ | the sed command should work, but won't list the files | 06:29 |
| steven_ | " My machine " | 06:29 |
| EriC^^ | it's changed them though | 06:29 |
| steven_ | i fused withe the find command | 06:30 |
| steven_ | then too no hope | 06:30 |
| Ben64 | well theres your problem | 06:30 |
| EriC^^ | steven_: it doesn't need the find command | 06:30 |
| EriC^^ | if you ran it already then it changed them, grep "Your machine" * will list the files | 06:30 |
| Bashing-om | FaTony: Sorry, I have never used 'switcheroo' , so I do not know what to expect . | 06:31 |
| steven_ | steven@sage10:~$ sed -i 's/My machine/Your machine/g' * sed: couldn't edit Desktop: not a regular file | 06:31 |
| EriC^^ | with find it would be "find -type f -exec sed 's/My machine/Your machine/g' {} \; " | 06:31 |

| steven_ | i just have a file which i created using vim , i have texts My machine in that, soo i have to replace it with Your machine, but this is just to check, is it possible to find the files that contains My machine and replace it with your machine | 06:35 |
| EriC^^ | steven_: yes it's possible | 06:36 |
| === nero_ is now known as Guest32911 | ||
| steven_ | what might be a command for that | 06:37 |
| EriC^^ | the sed command will change it, if you give it a file extension it won't complain about the dirs | 06:37 |
| EriC^^ | sed -i 's/My machine/Your machine/g' *.txt | 06:37 |
| EriC^^ | or find -type f -exec sed -i 's/My machine/Your machine/g' {} \; | 06:38 |

| energizer | Is it possible to plug in a drive while the computer is running? | 06:42 |
| Guest32911 | what do you mean by plug in | 06:42 |
| Guest32911 | via what | 06:42 |
| energizer | sata | 06:42 |
| FaTony | Bashing-om, hmm, apparently I don't need switcheroo, I just need to set DRI_PRIME=1 before starting the game anf it works | 06:42 |
| FaTony | and* | 06:43 |
| Guest32911 | you can use a sata -> usb mount | 06:44 |
| Guest32911 | what are you trying to do | 06:44 |
| Guest32911 | just read from it? | 06:44 |
| energizer | yes | 06:45 |
| energizer | what do you mean sata to usb mount | 06:45 |
| Guest32911 | there's a mount you can buy that you put your sata drive in and it has a usb cable that connects to it | 06:46 |
| ducasse | energizer: if you have a controller that can handle hotplugging, then you can just connect it. | 06:46 |
| Guest32911 | ^^ or that | 06:46 |
| energizer | i have a case that sorta looks like it could handle it, it's got sweet handles and sliders for pulling out and putting in drives | 06:46 |
| energizer | but i dont see where the drive is appearing | 06:47 |

| Conna | ooh ok | 06:47 |
| Guest32911 | :) | 06:48 |
| energizer | ducasse: where would i see it if it was working | 06:49 |
| Bashing-om | FaTony: DRI_PRIME=1 is a new one on me .. where did you find it ? and how is it used ? | 06:49 |
| Guest32911 | energizer: I think you can use dmesg to see any hardware changes | 06:50 |
| energizer | when I plug it in , nothing changes in dmesg | 06:52 |
| Dreaman | Conna why not use real debian | 06:52 |
| ducasse | energizer: you might have bios settings to switch hotplugging on/off, mine has. unless you know your controller i can handle it, i wouldn't just try - it could be harmful. | 06:53 |
| steven_ | <EriC^^> thanks :) | 06:53 |
| EriC^^ | steven_: no problem :) | 06:53 |
| TheNH813 | Question, how to I get unbanned? One of the channels I was on just kicked me due to my internet causing about 10 successive reconnections. | 06:54 |

I've isntalled rtl8812au-dkms, I insert the adapter, nothing (it doesn't load the module). Then I've inserted the module manually - nothing, the driver doesn't even recognize the device. lshw shows that indeed, no driver associated: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23131334/ | 07:47 |

It works, and i can access from my ubuntu machine. I would like to access it from my other computers, do i have to setup apache ? or the already existing vhost ? | 07:56 |

| rexwin_ | E: Unable to locate package likewise-open* | 07:59 |
| malinus | I really don't understand, how the driver completly ignores the device. I mean I've looked at the driver source, it even registered my usb vendor/product id. Still when I plug it in - nothing. | 07:59 |
| OerHeks | modprobe 8812au, not sure this is needed after installing the dkms | 08:06 |
| riqj | Hello everyone, disk utility showed that my HDD is likely to fail soon, written in red capital letters. can I somehow try to fix it? | 08:08 |
| malinus | OerHeks: like I've said, I've tried inserting the module manually, as you can see in the pastebin I've posted. The driver doesn't care about the device. | 08:09 |
| riqj | i.e. with badblocks or similar tools | 08:09 |
| Eraik | riqj what's the brand of the drive ? | 08:10 |
| OerHeks | bad block grow.. | 08:10 |
| riqj | Eraik, it is WD | 08:11 |
| riqj | I mean, western digital | 08:12 |
| ducasse | malinus: that driver is often problematic, i had to build another version i found on github to get it working. | 08:12 |
| crazyman | im a large black man on PCP | 08:13 |
| riqj | so can I give the repair a try somehow? | 08:14 |
| Eraik | I know there's a tool for testing with seagate drives, that's called seatools. But that only works with seagate drives, ofc. But if your drive is reporting bad sector it would be best to migrate your data to a new drive. | 08:14 |
| malinus | ducasse: well so far I've tried the newest one from the vendor. It didn't work however. I guess I'll try one from github as you suggested, thanks. Do you if it even tried loading when using the default one? Or was nothing happening, like in my case? | 08:14 |
| ducasse | riqj: no, you can't fix it. it needs to be replaced. | 08:14 |
| malinus | ducasse: also, do you remember which repository you used? There are like 20 for that driver. | 08:15 |
| ducasse | malinus: i've had more than one problem with it :) the best version i found is this, it has worked perfectly for me: https://github.com/Grawp/rtl8812au_rtl8821au.git | 08:15 |
| malinus | cheers ducasse! | 08:16 |
| riqj | Eraik, I already removed the data. the HDD is blank now. just I thought maybe one of these tools could keep it working | 08:16 |
| ducasse | malinus: np, hope it works for you too. remember to remove the package :) | 08:16 |
| ducasse | riqj: you can't fix a hardware problem with software. | 08:17 |
| riqj | ducasse, but I remember from a while ago that tools like badblocks were rearranging bad parts etc..no? | 08:17 |
| OerHeks | riqj, even marking bad sectors does not help, bad sectors grow | 08:18 |
| Dro | hello, i'm trying to setup a VPN (openvpn), I imported the configuration files but everytime it show "connected" and can't access any website | 08:18 |
| Dro | when i try to ping google.com it no result, and when i ping an IP address it works.. its a dns problem? | 08:18 |
| ducasse | riqj: it reallocates them, but when all free reallocation sectors are used up it will just mark them as bad. | 08:18 |
| ducasse | riqj: but that disk can't be trusted, you *will* lose data. | 08:19 |
| === akirauez1 is now known as akirayuiz | ||
| Eraik | riqj I agree with ducasse | 08:20 |
| riqj | ducasse, OerHeks, I just intend to be able to use it a while longer. sure I don't trust it with any data. but just for browser activities. In this case, if these tools reallocate sectors and make the HDD work longer, that will do for me. | 08:20 |
| crazyman | i need technical help finding stuff | 08:22 |
| crazyman | i lost some stuff and i need to do a search for it | 08:22 |
| riqj | if you could tell me whether i.e. adblocks helped with this much, I'd be all right. | 08:22 |
| riqj | badblocks* | 08:22 |
| crazyman | its a highly irreplacable list of phone numbers of people who sell me bath salts | 08:22 |

| rexwin_ | i am getting this when trying to add a ubuntu client to centos PDC. Error: DNS_ERROR_BAD_PACKET [code 0x0000251e] | 08:27 |

| riqj | Eraik, sorry, me again :) I just read through the guide and saw the latter section 'fix your hdd disk'..can I just apply this part without checking and marking badblocks (steps 5 and 6), or should these steps precede the fsck command? | 08:46 |
| riqj | ok,I follow the given order, starting with badblocks | 08:50 |
| Eraik | just do the part under : Fix your HDD disk: | 08:52 |
| Eraik | it should do the trick :) | 08:52 |
| riqj | oh, it'd started checking..will stop the process then | 08:53 |
| the_tricky | hello, guys | 08:54 |
| laszlowaty | hello | 08:54 |
| Eraik | hello | 08:54 |
| the_tricky | a few days ago a strange window started popping up | 08:54 |
| the_tricky | it says something about my keyring password doesn't match my login password anymore | 08:55 |
| the_tricky | but i haven't changed any of those | 08:55 |
| riqj | well, the check progresses not too slowly, maybe I can wait and see the damage assessment of the disk :) | 08:55 |
| the_tricky | what's the problem? | 08:55 |
| Eraik | do you have chrome installed by any chance ? | 08:56 |
| * netvixtra hands laszlowaty eggs & bacon | 08:56 | |
| Eraik | I have had a similar problem with chrome and the keyring pop up | 08:57 |
| * laszlowaty eats everything and licks his eyebrows :) | 08:57 | |
| riqj | I currently have the same problem with Chromium, too, keyring pops up! | 08:58 |
| riqj | since 14.04. | 08:59 |
| Everybodydothefl | Hey guys I'm back. So I fixed my Nvidia driver issue on my Mint partition using the driver manager. Now I am back on my xubuntu partiotion & am back at square one here as driver manager is not part of the ubuntu packages. So what Can I do to install my nvidia drivers, or install driver manager to use that tool? | 09:00 |
| Eraik | riqj the_tricky: I found this http://askubuntu.com/questions/618381/google-chromium-asks-for-keyring-to-unlock-14-04-but-i-dont-want-the-password | 09:01 |
| tomreyn | riqj: just so you do not miss this fact: if a drive has bad blocks, it will fail soon, whether or not you use the badblocks utility now or later | 09:01 |
| tomreyn | riqj: so be prepared, have current and complete and provenly restorable backups, and put some money aside to replace the disks, ideally by ssds. | 09:02 |
| riqj | tomreyn, thank you! yes, sure, it will be all right for me if it doesn't happen too soon. I already removed all data, and would like to use the disk for low-level activity | 09:02 |
| the_tricky | Eraik: I thought it has something to deal with Chrome | 09:02 |
| the_tricky | think, that will help | 09:03 |
| the_tricky | let me try and thanks in advance | 09:03 |
| akik | Everybodydothefl: you can just install nvidia-3nn from apt | 09:03 |
| tomreyn | riqj: alright :) just making sure you're not trying to revive a dead horse. | 09:03 |

| bazhang | laszlowaty, this is ubuntu support ONLY | 09:04 |
| Everybodydothefl | @akik I tried, but I think it's because Im on an older nvidia chipset, but it didnt work right. Mine is GEforce GST 360M Cuda | 09:05 |
| laszlowaty | so does it mean that we can't talk about anything else at all? | 09:05 |

| bazhang | laszlowaty, not a chit chat channel at all | 09:06 |
| ducasse | Everybodydothefl: try "additional drivers" under software and updates | 09:06 |
| akik | Everybodydothefl: did you try the older version, nvidia-304 ? or whichever version is supported by your card | 09:06 |
| Everybodydothefl | I'll take a peek. Thanls @Ducasse | 09:07 |
| riqj | tomreyn, I haven't used ssds yet, are they more reliable against disk corruption? | 09:07 |
| Everybodydothefl | thanks* | 09:07 |
| Everybodydothefl | @Ducasse Additional drives is completely blank | 09:08 |
| tomreyn | riqj: no, not really (roughly the same nowadays), but they operate much faster. | 09:08 |
| tomreyn | riqj: just as with HDDs, there are more expensive SSDs which are more reliable against corruption / failure, those so-called 'enterprise' models. | 09:10 |
| riqj | tomreyn, I see..thank you! | 09:11 |
| tomreyn | welcome :) | 09:11 |
| Araneidae | How do I mount a NFS point at bootup? Putting the mount in /etc/fstab causes a systemd dependency loop, which causes lots of systems to not start! | 09:12 |
| ducasse | Araneidae: which mount options did you use? | 09:12 |
| Araneidae | Just soft | 09:13 |
| Araneidae | Is there a delayed mount option that would do the trick? | 09:13 |
| ducasse | Araneidae: try adding _netdev | 09:13 |
| Araneidae | ta, will try | 09:13 |
| ducasse | Araneidae: you probably also want nofail so it will boot even if the nfs server is down | 09:14 |
| Araneidae | yes, that sounds wise! | 09:14 |
| Araneidae | Perfect. I'll look through mount(8) now and see if I'm missing anything else | 09:14 |
| Araneidae | ducasse, nofail doesn't sound quite right: the man page just says "Do not report errors" | 09:17 |
| Everybodydothefl | perhaps I am looking at the wrong issue. I am trying to run steam. However when I try to run steam, I get the following output: chris @ chris-G60JX ~ └─ $ ▶ steam ILocalize::AddFile() failed to load file "public/steambootstrapper_english.txt". [2016-09-04 02:17:55] Startup - updater built Jun 16 2014 11:16:02 SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for op | 09:18 |
| ducasse | Araneidae: yes, but a reported error will cause systemd to stall the boot as it depends on all filesystems in fstab by default. | 09:18 |
| Araneidae | ok | 09:19 |
| ducasse | Araneidae: you coold also use a systemd mount unit instead of fstab, which would allow you to manually set dependencies (to follow networking for instance) | 09:19 |
| Everybodydothefl | any ideas guys? | 09:19 |
| Araneidae | ducasse, sounds sensible, but systemd alarms the hell out of me, I try to touch it as little as I can. | 09:20 |
| akik | Everybodydothefl: first thing i see is that maybe your steam installation is broken because it can't find that txt file | 09:20 |
| Everybodydothefl | ok I will try to uninstall & reinstall it. So Sudo apt-get --purge remove steam & then delete it from the home directory right? | 09:21 |
| ducasse | Araneidae: imo it is actually very nice to work with, i've had very few problems. you can use the systemd.mount man page. | 09:21 |
| Araneidae | Where do configuration units live? | 09:21 |
| ducasse | Araneidae: you add them in /etc/systemd/system | 09:22 |
| akik | Everybodydothefl: maybe, or apt-get install --reinstall steam | 09:22 |
| ducasse | Araneidae: packaged units are in /lib/systemd/system iirc | 09:22 |
| Araneidae | Ok, will take a look | 09:23 |
| rikan | guys | 09:23 |
| Everybodydothefl | @akik I tried the reinstall option & got the same output. I'll try uninstalling & reinstalling now | 09:24 |
| Everybodydothefl | @akik ok I am reinstalling it now directly from steam's website | 09:29 |
| Everybodydothefl | Just re-installed it in the software center | 09:29 |
| === jstein_ is now known as jstein | ||
| ducasse | Everybodydothefl: before you reinstall from the steam site, try asking in #ubuntu-steam | 09:30 |

| tomreyn | Everybodydothefl: 16.04? | 09:36 |
| tomreyn | oh yes it is, so do http://askubuntu.com/questions/771032/steam-not-opening-in-ubuntu-16-04-lts | 09:36 |
| Everybodydothefl | @Tomreyn Yes sir | 09:37 |
| tomreyn | the steam installer is the most broken piece of software i've seen in the past couple years. | 09:37 |
| tomreyn | it's also very ugly | 09:37 |
| bazhang | tomreyn, #ubuntu-steam for that | 09:37 |
| malinus | ducasse: cheers. the https://github.com/Grawp/rtl8812au_rtl8821au driver worked. Shouldn't the ubuntu mainterns (maybe the mainteriners of the dkms 8821au package?) be informed, so they can take the necessary steps to have the driver to work? | 09:38 |
| bazhang | tomreyn, ugly is not a support issue, so please dont continue in that fashion | 09:38 |
| Everybodydothefl | @Tomreyn Yeah I agree. XD. It runs ok on some of my other systems, but not this one. I thought it was because this laptop has an nvidia GPU chipset, but not sure at this point | 09:38 |
| tomreyn | i'm done on that part | 09:38 |
| ducasse | malinus: the problem is that different versions work for different variatons of the chipset... | 09:38 |
| ducasse | malinus: they would need to package a whole bunch, i've just built my own package with a dkms setup. | 09:39 |
| malinus | ducasse: this can't be the first time. I mean, this problem is probably already somehow solved for other chipsets, no? | 09:40 |
| Araneidae | I've still got one systemd boot cycle: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23131626/ Any idea what's going on here? | 09:40 |
| tomreyn | bazhang: i do think that pointing out when a software is bad quality (and thus maybe another one should be used instead) is part of providing a good support experience. | 09:40 |
| rikan | mmmm | 09:40 |
| tomreyn | now, admittedly, that's a meta discussion so it's not the right place to discuss it here. and i'll stop doing so. | 09:41 |
| Everybodydothefl | @tomreyn I will be honest, I get a bit lost at parts like this: If you just installed Steam then go to ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ and delete the link libstdc++.so.6. Then it should start without problem. Let it do the update." How exactly do I do that? | 09:41 |
| bazhang | tomreyn, its a wishlist bug, and this is not the place to take care of that, the mailing lists are however, consider signing up for some and particitpation fully there | 09:41 |
| bazhang | !lists | tomreyn | 09:41 |
| ubottu | tomreyn: Mail is another medium to communicate. Ubuntu mailing lists can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com | 09:41 |
| ducasse | malinus: realtek chipsets in general are crap, they have a lot of problems under linux. | 09:42 |
| akik | Everybodydothefl: it just says you should delete the symlink ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | 09:43 |
| tomreyn | Everybodydothefl: i think you will need to move any questions regarding steam to #ubuntu-steam if i got bazhang right | 09:43 |
| malinus | ducasse: yeah but still, this should be solved. And in time, it probably will. | 09:43 |
| ducasse | malinus: yes, it might. but no, i've not seen this problem with other chipsets. | 09:44 |
| === dandels_ is now known as dandels | ||
| malinus | this is why I'm asking if there is something I can do to help. | 09:44 |
| ducasse | malinus: you could file a bug and report success with the driver from that repo, but i guess the devs prefer to use the driver from the manufacturer. you could ask, though. | 09:45 |
| ducasse | malinus: if you do file a bug, let me know and i will comment that i have the same experience. | 09:46 |
| malinus | ducasse: that driver is based on the one from the vendor, mainly some Makefile changes. I think what made it work for me, is this change enabling CFG80211. Which I can see is what the 8821au actually needs to use. | 09:47 |
| Everybodydothefl | @tomreyn Aggreable, my current question is more of a general one though. Where it says "go to ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/" How do I go to that file? Is it something I do through terminal or do I go into the file system? | 09:48 |
| ducasse | malinus: as i said, i don't *know* what the devs will do, so just ask them. it is a very common problem. | 09:48 |
| tomreyn | Everybodydothefl: this is a directory path. use the 'cd' command to change into this directory on a terminal. | 09:49 |
| tomreyn | Everybodydothefl: so: cd ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ | 09:49 |
| Everybodydothefl | I follow now, I think | 09:49 |
| Everybodydothefl | XD | 09:49 |
| Everybodydothefl | @tomreyn, I follow now I think XD | 09:50 |
| tomreyn | good :) | 09:50 |
| malinus | ducasse: well in any case, thanks again! I guess I should set it up with dkms so I don't need to recompile with every kernel upgrade. | 09:50 |
| ducasse | malinus: yes, that's what i did. it has worked for me since vivid or so. | 09:51 |
| netvixtra | laszlowaty: that those guys still operate on the dark web is mindbaffling. they know they will be caught and their lives ruined. | 09:52 |
| Everybodydothefl | @tomreyn Sorry, not to be obtuse, but in the instructions "delete the link libstdc++.so.6" What command do I use? Apt-get --purge remove? | 09:52 |
| tomreyn | Everybodydothefl: use 'rm' as in 'remove' to remove a file or, in this case, a link | 09:53 |
| Everybodydothefl | @tomreyn Ok I think I folow, so rm libstdc++.so.6 | 09:54 |
| ikonia | or no | 09:55 |
| ikonia | you never rm that file | 09:55 |
| ducasse | ikonia: it's in a steam dir under his home, aiui | 09:56 |
| akik | Everybodydothefl: did you get that instruction from #ubuntu-steam ? | 09:56 |
| ikonia | why would he need to delete it then | 09:56 |
| tomreyn | it's a symlink, not a file | 09:56 |
| tomreyn | Everybodydothefl: maybe have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal to get a basic grip on the terminal | 09:57 |
| Everybodydothefl | @akik no, from an ubuntu forum that tomreyn directed me to | 09:57 |
| Everybodydothefl | @tomreyen thanks. I got some of it down, but most is self taught. By no means complete | 09:57 |

| === Administrator is now known as Guest86049 | ||
| Everybodydothefl | @tomreyn so I think I may have been uninstalling steam incorrectly. When I did the apt-get --purge remove steam command, I got a prompt saying that I will need to additionally go to ~/.steam & manually remove it. Now what I previously did was going into file manager & then deleting it from my home folder. Should I instead cd to ~/.steam & type something like RM steam or something? | 10:12 |
| EriC^^ | Everybodydothefl: no, that should suffice | 10:14 |
| Everybodydothefl | @Eric^^ ty although I just realized I cant go root in terminal. I type su - & then enter my password & it wont let me in @_@ | 10:15 |
| EriC^^ | Everybodydothefl: that's cause su - asks for the root password not yours | 10:16 |
| EriC^^ | sudo -i should ask for yours and give you a root shell | 10:16 |

| bonno | hello guys. i need help with linux. i'm using elementaryOS distro which is based on ubuntu 14.04 on Thinkpad X1 Carbon laptop. i need to disable the synaptics touchpad while using the trackpoint. i'm pretty new with bash. google does not help much. | 10:23 |
| bazhang | bonno, get with the elementary os support for that | 10:24 |
| bazhang | !elementary | 10:24 |
| ubottu | Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. | 10:24 |
| bazhang | bonno, ^ | 10:25 |
| riqja | sorry, I was erring..the fsck output doesnt show any error listing..actually there is no report of any result. is there a log created somewhere? | 10:25 |
| ducasse | riqja: no output = no problems | 10:25 |
| bonno | @bazhang i think it's the same on lots of distros but thanks | 10:25 |
| riqja | ducasse, but, as I've written before, I have a disk that is said to be likely to fail soon | 10:26 |
| bazhang | bonno, thats the place to go, we dont support it here at all | 10:26 |
| ducasse | bonno: it is, but we don't support them. | 10:26 |
| ducasse | riqja: yes, so this is ultimately a bad idea anyway. | 10:26 |
| riqja | btw, fsck only says that the fs was modified. | 10:26 |
| bonno | ok thanks | 10:26 |
| riqja | yes, but what am I supposed to make of this then, is the disk corrupted, if it is, why no errors in fsck? | 10:27 |
| ducasse | riqja: because badblock has already reallocated all the bad blocks. they were probably empty. | 10:28 |
| ducasse | riqja: but you can't expect that disk to return the same data you wrote for very long. | 10:29 |
| riqja | ducasse, so you mean that because I ran badblocks first for 9% of the disk, it reallocated already the corrupted parts? | 10:30 |
| ducasse | riqja: no, for 9% of the disk. there might not have been any data on bad blocks - yet. | 10:31 |
| riqja | ah, ok. does any tool/command show me how much of the disk is corrupted (contains bad blocks) ? | 10:32 |
| ducasse | riqja: smartctl | 10:32 |
| riqja | ducasse, thank you! | 10:37 |

| Sven_vB | riqj, as far as I understand the S.M.A.R.T. wikipedia page, "failing" means that the device might stop to work (at all!) at any moment, and should be replaced immediately. | 11:30 |
| theShirbiny | Sven_vB, check out gnome inspector and dbus interface | 11:30 |
| Sven_vB | theShirbiny, thanks! | 11:31 |
| riqj | Sven_vB, thank you! | 11:31 |
| riqj | I was thinking whether the numerical values hinted at any level of corruption, but that sounds rather imminent! | 11:32 |
| Sven_vB | riqj, good luck! =) | 11:32 |

| Sven_vB | oh, if you want to do backups, try to not power it up again - so dont power it down until you have them | 11:32 |

| genbu | hello. i use radiance theme in gnome-flashback. in some application, for example hexchat, menu words are of the same color of the theme so they are transparent. is there a way to fix? | 12:11 |
| YankDownUnder | genbu: In the preferences for Hexchat, you can choose to NOT use the "system theme". | 12:12 |
| choice | Hello! Does anybody here have a machine that supports EFI? How does "ls /boot/efi" look like on your machine? | 12:14 |

| BillyTheKid | Hey guys. I run thecommand "pvresize /dev/sda2", it's been hours but it still going. I get no indication that the command is actually doing something. Should I try to stop it? Do I risk my data? | 12:20 |
| bekks | You do risk your data. | 12:20 |
| bekks | Dod you have a backup? | 12:20 |
| choice | Am I correct that to restore the boot process /boot was destroyed completely, the steps are like this? 1) update-initramfs -c 2) grub-install /dev/sda 3) update-grub | 12:20 |
| EriC^^ | choice: you need to reinstall various grub packages and the kernel too | 12:21 |
| choice | EriC^^: "reinstall the kernel"? | 12:21 |
| choice | EriC^^: The kernel is stored in /boot? | 12:22 |
| EriC^^ | yes sir | 12:22 |
| choice | EriC^^: In the vmlinz-... file? | 12:22 |
| choice | EriC^^: In the vmlinuz-... file? | 12:22 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 12:22 |
| EriC^^ | choice: are you using uefi? | 12:23 |
| choice | EriC^^: Yes | 12:24 |
| EriC^^ | if rm -r /boot happened then you need to recreate /boot/efi for the efi partition mounting | 12:24 |
| BillyTheKid | anyone knows how I can tell if pvresize hang? | 12:24 |
| laura_ | hi i need help with video driver | 12:25 |
| laura_ | i have a poor screen resolution, after updating to latest version i couldnt boot, so i had to set "nomodeset" in kernel before boot | 12:25 |
| jorrit | I'm trying to override the USB hardware ID of an FTDI cable. I followed these instructions but they don't seem to work, I still get the same H/W ID | 12:25 |
| laura_ | so now im, stuck with resolution slanted to the "right" | 12:25 |
| laura_ | and text is slightly blurry | 12:26 |
| choice | EriC^^: What does the /boot/efi directory contain? | 12:28 |
| EriC^^ | the efi partition | 12:28 |
| choice | EriC^^: I understand that. But how does that look like? Does it only contain directories or initrd... files too? | 12:29 |
| EriC^^ | /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu/{grubx64.efi,shimx64.efi,etc.} | 12:29 |
| choice | EriC^^: I mean only on the /boot/efi/ level. Should there only be efi/ and grub/ ? | 12:30 |
| EriC^^ | you mean in /boot? | 12:30 |
| EriC^^ | /boot should contain efi and grub yeah | 12:30 |
| EriC^^ | and kernels and other stuff | 12:31 |
| choice | oh | 12:31 |
| choice | It contains kernels too? | 12:31 |
| choice | no, i mean in /boot/efi | 12:31 |
| EriC^^ | efi partition gets mounted under /boot/efi and the efi stuff | 12:31 |
| EriC^^ | *and has | 12:31 |
| choice | so there should be no initrd... files directly in /boot/efi, right? | 12:32 |
| EriC^^ | /boot/efi has an efi dir, and that has an ubuntu dir and maybe microsoft, boot etc depending on your os | 12:32 |
| EriC^^ | no | 12:32 |
| choice | Ok. Because on my machine there are some, but i think its from my attempts to repair the machine. | 12:32 |
| choice | So I will delete those. | 12:32 |
| choice | It looks like my original vmlinz-... is still there. | 12:33 |
| EriC^^ | did you have arch linux installed? | 12:34 |
| choice | I just have no clue how to get it to be included in the grub menu. | 12:34 |
| choice | EriC^^: No. Only Mint and Ubuntu. | 12:34 |
| EriC^^ | nevermind | 12:34 |
| EriC^^ | update-grub should get it | 12:34 |
| choice | Updating ubuntu killed the encrypted Mint partition. | 12:34 |
| choice | No, update-grub does not find the encrypted partition. | 12:34 |
| EriC^^ | what? | 12:35 |
| choice | I am trying it from within a chroot in the encrypted partition, but so far no success. | 12:35 |
| EriC^^ | ubuntu isn't encrypted, mint is? you're chrooted into ubuntu? | 12:35 |
| EriC^^ | *into mint | 12:36 |
| choice | I have 4 partitions on the machine: unencrypted ubuntu, unencrypted mint 17, unencrypted mint 19, encrypted mint 17. | 12:36 |
| choice | The encrpyted mint 17 is my main OS. But ubuntu killed it when it updated grub. | 12:36 |
| EriC^^ | killed it how? | 12:37 |
| choice | EriC^^: It does not show in the Boot menu anymore. | 12:38 |
| EriC^^ | reinstall grub from the encrypted mint install | 12:38 |
| choice | Thats what I am trying. | 12:39 |
| choice | Here are my steps: | 12:39 |
| choice | 1) I mount the encrypted partition to /mnt | 12:39 |
| EriC^^ | did you mount the /boot partition of mint? | 12:40 |
| choice | 2) I mount /dev, /proc and /sys to /mnt/dev, /mnt proc and /mnt/sys | 12:40 |
| choice | EriC^^: one moment, that is my step #4 or so... | 12:40 |
| choice | 3) chroot /mnt/ | 12:41 |
| choice | 4) mount /dev/sda2 /boot | 12:41 |
| choice | 5) mount /dev/sda1 /boot/efi | 12:41 |
| choice | sda1 is the ESP partition | 12:41 |
| EriC^^ | update-grub shows what now? | 12:41 |
| choice | 6) ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid to find the uuid of the encrypted partition | 12:42 |
| choice | 7) put that into /etc/crypttab | 12:42 |
| choice | 8) update-initramfs -c | 12:42 |
| choice | 9) grub-install /dev/sd | 12:42 |
| choice | 9) grub-install /dev/sda | 12:42 |
| choice | 10) update-grub | 12:42 |
| choice | Thats all | 12:42 |
| EriC^^ | what does update-grub show? | 12:43 |
| choice | EriC^^: It works, but the last time I tried, my encrypted Mint still did not show up in the boot menu | 12:43 |
| choice | So I am going through the steps again now. | 12:43 |
| sveinse | Are there any supported and updated armhf repos to xenial? I'm using ports.ubuntu.com, but its seems it has no security updates | 12:43 |
| EriC^^ | choice: it might be showing a different grub config when you start grub | 12:43 |
| EriC^^ | choice: did grub pick it up when you did update-grub? | 12:43 |
| EriC^^ | all os | 12:43 |
| choice | EriC^^: It does not show that it picked up the Mint in question. | 12:44 |
| choice | EriC^^: But maybe thats because I am chrooted into it? | 12:44 |
| EriC^^ | no, it should pick it up | 12:44 |
| choice | EriC^^: Would update-grub report "I found myself"? | 12:44 |
| EriC^^ | try ls /boot/vmlinuz* | 12:45 |
| EriC^^ | does it show kernels there? | 12:45 |
| choice | EriC^^: Yes, one looks like it is the right one. | 12:45 |
| EriC^^ | looks? | 12:45 |
| choice | EriC^^: The date is from a few months ago. When everything still worked. | 12:46 |
| EriC^^ | what's the filename? | 12:46 |
| choice | EriC^^: vmlinuz-4.4.0-21-generic | 12:46 |
| EriC^^ | ok, and grub doesn't mention it at all eh? | 12:47 |
| choice | EriC^^: It might mention it. Not sure. | 12:47 |
| choice | EriC^^: It just does not mention "Mint 17" | 12:47 |
| EriC^^ | try update-grub again | 12:47 |
| EriC^^ | it won't say mint 17 | 12:47 |
| choice | Ok | 12:47 |
| choice | So one moment, let me chroot again... | 12:47 |
| choice | update-grub will recreate the initrd file? | 12:48 |
| EriC^^ | no it'll just mention picking them up | 12:50 |
| choice | Ok. I have the feeling the initrd file is not good. Because it has a date after things gone bad. | 12:50 |
| rly | I created a Live Knoppix USB key via unetbootin, but when I try to boot it (I selected all the USB related devices, but the brand of the USB stick is not shown), no code is ever loaded and the device is just skipped. | 12:51 |
| EriC^^ | choice: it's cause you just recreated it with update-initramfs | 12:51 |
| choice | EriC^^: So should I run update-initramfs before update-grub? | 12:51 |
| EriC^^ | if you already did no | 12:51 |
| rly | The BIOS doesn't display the brand of the USB stick. | 12:51 |
| rly | It should have done that, right? | 12:51 |
| rly | Can it be that the size of the USB stick is too large? | 12:52 |
| choice | EriC^^: Yeah, and I might have done it while the machine was in a bad state. Wrong ESP partition mountd or wrong boot partition mounted etc. So I think its better to do it again now with a good state? | 12:52 |
| EriC^^ | choice: as you wish | 12:52 |
| ipgd | hI | 12:53 |
| choice | Ok. "update-initramfs -u". Gives me this output: "generating /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-38-generic" | 12:53 |
| choice | And "grep: /boot/config-3.16.0-38-generic: No such file or directory". | 12:54 |
| choice | And some more errors. | 12:54 |
| EriC^^ | choice: the initrd and kernel dont match | 12:54 |
| EriC^^ | choice: let's continue this conversation in ##linux | 12:54 |
| choice | Ok | 12:54 |
| EriC^^ | as this an ubuntu support channel and it's not much allowed here | 12:54 |

| rikan | wut? | 14:09 |
| DJones | Dreaman: Ubuntu 16.10 hasn't been released yet, its still in development, the normal upgrade path won't be available until around 21st October 2016, you could ask in #ubuntu+1 about how to upgrade to the development release,but generally, its not recommended unless you're used todealing with bugs and broken systems during the development process | 14:19 |
| Dreaman | DJones ok but upgreat not work | 14:29 |
| mr-j | hello world | 14:30 |
| BluesKaj | DJones, I'm testing Kubuntu 16.10 Yakkety atm , and there no problems until the freeze last week, then suddenly after a large upgrade network manager no longer recognized the NIC ethernet connection, I haven't seen any other reports about this problem so it might be my HW that's to blame. | 14:30 |

| lordcirth | MonkeyDust, good morning :) | 14:37 |
| hfp | Hi, I am resizing the disk image on my Linux 16.04 server VM. The guide I'm following advises to delete the partition and recreate it, but larger (once the disk image file has been extended). So I did it because I have a backup anyway, and I don't understand how deleting the partition and recreating it doesn't result in data loss. Could someone explain? | 14:39 |
| lordcirth | hfp, great question! | 14:40 |
| lordcirth | hfp, the partition data is stored in the partition table at the front of the drive | 14:40 |
| lordcirth | hfp, it says where the partition starts and how long it is. | 14:41 |
| lordcirth | So, if you delete the partition info from the table, the contents are still on disk, they're just in unassigned space. | 14:41 |
| lordcirth | hfp, then if you carefully make a partition with *exactly* the same start point, and a bigger length, all the old stuff will still be there + some amount of garbage data at the end. | 14:42 |
| === Tims_Tech_ is now known as Tims_Tech | ||
| hfp | lordcirth: Ah that makes sense. Say , for the sake of argument, that I had one partition originally. I wanted to extend that partition and also create an extra one in the free space. If I create the new one first, and then resize the other one, then I would lose data because the new partition would be written over old data, correct? What happens then if I don't format and the newer partition is smaller than | 14:46 |
| hfp | the original one? Do I get corrupt data or do I get the original data but truncated to the smaller size? | 14:46 |
| erasmus | I just added a new hdd to my system to backup a drive that has LUKS on it. If I dd /dev/sdb /dev/sdc will it have the same encryption key as the other drive? | 14:47 |
| erasmus | or do I have to use cryptosetup? | 14:47 |
| lordcirth | hfp, if you made the new one in the space previously occupied by the temporarily-deleted partition, it would get some of the data, yes. If it got only some of it, it'd be corrupt. | 14:48 |
| lordcirth | hfp, many partition editors allow you to see & choose the actual placement of partitions, like GParted. If the one you need to use doesn't, then all you can control is creation order. | 14:48 |
| transhuman_ | Hi I am trying to find files with find . -iname '*.py'-print unfortunately it includes the path /home/<username>/tensorflow which has like a billion hits how do I exclude this path but search the rest of the /home/<username>/ path? | 14:54 |
| lordcirth | transhuman_, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4210042/exclude-directory-from-find-command#4210072 | 14:55 |
| transhuman_ | thaks 20 minutes of searching did not find that...should have looked for prune ;-) | 14:56 |
| AlexKrug | yo! | 14:56 |
| krazy8 | Hi | 14:57 |
| lordcirth | transhuman_, my search was "find exclude path" and it was top result on duckduckgo | 15:03 |
| transhuman_ | good to know lordcirth I decided to use the following command (which I wouldn't have found easily without your help ) find /home/<user> -name '*.py' | grep -v /home/<user>/tensorflow | 15:13 |
| transhuman_ | thanks again | 15:13 |
| marcisb | How i can save in nano text editor? | 15:14 |
| lordcirth | transhuman_, hah I do that a lot. Grep is often simpler than command-specific arguments :) | 15:14 |
| marcisb | For example edit file and save ? | 15:14 |
| lordcirth | marcisb, aren't all of the buttons listed at the bottom? | 15:14 |
| marcisb | There is no save command like in notepad | 15:14 |
| lordcirth | Ctrl-O , write out | 15:15 |
| marcisb | Yes but it makes copy of file | 15:15 |
| lordcirth | or if you Ctrl-X to close it will ask if you want to save. | 15:15 |
| marcisb | near edited file | 15:15 |
| transhuman_ | very true, grep dumbs it down for stupid people like me ;-) | 15:15 |
| transhuman_ | trying to remember that other command ... | 15:15 |
| lordcirth | marcisb, it shouldn't. Perhaps you typed a slightly wrong filename? | 15:15 |
| lordcirth | If you edit an existing file it autocompletes the name | 15:16 |
| choice | Today is Distro tryout day ... | 15:18 |
| krazy8 | @choice what is that? | 15:19 |
| choice | Installing Ubuntu-Mate right now. It asked me for my encryption key before it let me choose the keyboard layout. Seems not very wise. | 15:19 |
| choice | krazy8: Trying to find a distro with a) nice destop b) the ability to install in an encrypted partition. | 15:19 |
| choice | s/destop/desktop | 15:20 |
| marcisb | no | 15:20 |
| marcisb | It saves another file with same name with extension copy | 15:20 |
| SchrodingersScat | choice: I recall having to install at least +1 more time than I really should have needed to, because of keyboard layout ;( BIOS is in qwerty, and then rest is finally in dvorak. | 15:21 |
| krazy8 | Ohh... Thank you for explaining | 15:21 |
| choice | SchrodingersScat: Yeah | 15:21 |
| popey | choice: Ubuntu MATE uses the same installer as the rest of the Ubuntu flavours. | 15:21 |
| popey | choice: you actually choose the keyboard layout at boot, before you install. | 15:21 |
| choice | popey: Are you sure? Then I missed the encryption functionality in Mint Mate. | 15:21 |
| popey | choice: the installer allows you to change it though | 15:21 |
| popey | choice: yes, Mint isn't an official flavour though | 15:22 |
| SchrodingersScat | choice: I haven't used the ubuntu MATE, but I would have assumed that would be part of the partitioning. | 15:22 |
| SchrodingersScat | !flavor | 15:22 |
| ubottu | Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. The current list is: !Edubuntu, !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, Ubuntu !Kylin, !Lubuntu, !Mythbuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, !Xubuntu, and Ubuntu !MATE | 15:22 |
| SchrodingersScat | yes, it is | 15:22 |
| SchrodingersScat | !MATE | 15:22 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu MATE is a supported !flavor of Ubuntu that uses MATE as the default desktop environment. It functions similarly to older versions of GNOME. For more information, see https://ubuntu-mate.org/ | 15:22 |
| SchrodingersScat | ohhh, mint, my bad. | 15:22 |
| popey | :) | 15:22 |
| choice | I wonder what the pros/cons of Ubuntu Mate vs Mint Mate are. | 15:23 |
| popey | choice: depends who you ask, and not a support question for this channel. Better asked elsewhere. | 15:23 |
| olscumpy | I live in interesting times | 15:25 |
| choice | Found the first two downsides of Ubuntu Mate: 1) The scrollwheel does not work. 2) I cannot find the driver manager. | 15:25 |
| choice | Found it. | 15:26 |
| mrmystery | I was trying to install musicbee through wine and its saying xp is not supported but I have changed the OS version to 8.1. Can anyoone help me? | 15:26 |
| olscumpy | installed ubuntu-mate onto a computer that already had mint-mate. used the same /home partition. I suspect that is why I don't have a window manager, but the lack thereof is really making life difficult | 15:27 |
| DJones | mrmystery: It might be worth asking in ##winehq which is the main support channel for Wine, I think they'd be best placed to be able to help you | 15:27 |
| olscumpy | some windows are partially off screen, and I can't grab them to move them | 15:28 |

| testsubject | max, yes, it's got the dual intel integrated and (I believe) automatic switching between it and discrete 960m. At the grub menu, I type "e" and go to the row that starts with "linux" and has splash, etc arguments behind it. I added "nomodeset" there and hit F10 to boot. | 16:09 |

| akik | boodllebat: yes | 16:11 |
| boodllebat | akik: i deleted it now creating new one | 16:12 |
| maxcell_ | marcisb, sudo su (than login) after that you type passwd, to set a new password for the root (super user[su]) | 16:12 |
| boodllebat | i'll paste my .pub on it | 16:12 |
| testsubject | maxcell_: I'll look into it, thanks | 16:12 |

| Everybodydothefl | Hey I have already tried reaching out for help in #ubuntu-steam, but NO ONE there is talking so I think this might be my only option. I have tried to run steam on multiple different linux distros, I am on an Asus G60J laptop with an I5 processor & Nvidia GEFORCE GTS M Cuda chipset.

| ducasse | abu_shawarib: you need to be on the editors team. | 19:15 |
| Everybodydothefl | yeah & apparently it's a super obscure nvidia driver that cannot be found anywhere | 19:16 |

| lordcirth | rhalff, install the driver team PPA and install nvidia-367 | 19:20 |
| Exagone313 | Maybe you just need to extract something from the nvidia driver to read videos, I'm not sure, I don't use my laptop for that | 19:20 |

| rhalff | Bashing-om, ok that's what confusing me, so many articles about it, I have no clue what is the recent and best option. | 19:24 |
| Everybodydothefl | @Exagone313 How would I find out if I need to extract something from the drivers & how would I go about doing the extraction? | 19:25 |

| fishcooker | after login with the valid creds, i forcefully logout by system instantly after i see the panel on lubuntu... how to troubleshoot this... which log should i see? | 19:26 |
| lordcirth | fishcooker, start with /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 19:26 |
| Everybodydothefl | @lordcirth So I just tried to killall steam & there were'nt even any processes running. So it already killed itself while I was waiting | 19:27 |
| Mishari | guys I want to know something. | 19:27 |
| ducasse | fishcooker: if you can see the lubuntu desktop, also check ~/.xsession-errors and the dm logs. | 19:27 |
| Mishari | why when I install an app in linux, should be located in many files, like.. /etc /bin /usr/bin | 19:28 |

| === cr is now known as Guest64343 | ||

| ducasse | Mishari: you mean "why is it not all in one dir"? that's just how linux works. | 19:29 |
| Mishari | yesss | 19:29 |
| lordcirth | Is there an ubottu for the hier? | 19:29 |
| Mishari | aha | 19:29 |
| lordcirth | Mishari, 'man hier' | 19:29 |
| Mishari | thanks | 19:30 |
| Everybodydothefl | ok so I just tried apt show nvidia-prime & got the following output: http://pastebin.com/HBybi0zC | 19:30 |
| Everybodydothefl | Any thoughts? | 19:30 |
| Mishari | that makes linux so powerful. | 19:30 |
| Bashing-om | Mishari: All files for any app are shared among all .. thus they must be installed where all apps can find the files . | 19:30 |

| zt_joom | I need some help with adding a boot option in GRUB for loading windows 7. Am I in the right place? Any leads that can point me in the right direction? | 19:32 |
| lordcirth | Everybodydothefl, what about it? | 19:32 |
| Everybodydothefl | @lordcirth, anything you can glean from that output that might indicate why Steam isn't launching? | 19:33 |
| ducasse | fishcooker: is that .xsession-errors? that dbus message could be your problem, but check the dm logs. | 19:33 |
| Bashing-om | Everybodydothefl: That was for your info only .. as to the function of nvidia-prime . | 19:33 |
| Everybodydothefl | ah dang | 19:34 |
| lordcirth | zt_joom, what's the situation? You just dual-booted? | 19:34 |
| Everybodydothefl | Man I wish I could figure out why this damn laptop isn't working right | 19:34 |
| Everybodydothefl | I've tried 11 different linux distros on this POS, and Mint 16.04 XFCE was the only one so far that actually worked | 19:35 |
| BillyTheKid | Hey guys. I have an issue with LVM. Whenever I type vgdisplay I get " WARNING: Device for PV <UUID> not found or rejected by a filter." | 19:35 |
| Bashing-om | lordcirth: Steam the only problem ? .. steam - I thibk - requires the proprietary driver . What driver is installed ? ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' . | 19:35 |
| zt_joom | lordcirth, I have Win7 installed on /dev/sda drive and Ubuntu installed on /dev/sdb drive. The first time I accidentally wiped the MBR of /dev/sda. Went through install again to specify GRUB to be installed on /dev/sdb and everything is working fine so far. I can boot into Ubuntu on /dev/sdb no problems but I cant figure out how to add Win7 into the GRUB boot options which is on /dev/sda. | 19:35 |
| BillyTheKid | that was an old drive I had. How can I remove it? | 19:35 |
| Everybodydothefl | My other laptops that just have Intel HD chipsets & work just fine. Apparently with Nvidia laptops, you have to have the proper drivers installed in order to install the OS properly which can't be done because you need the OS installed in order to install the drivers | 19:37 |
| Everybodydothefl | @_@ | 19:37 |
| lordcirth | zt_joom, os-prober should have found Win7 automatically | 19:37 |
| zt_joom | lordcirty, I did use a live Win7 USB to repair the MBR for /dev/sda and I can get into windows. However, I want to use /dev/sdb (Ubuntu) GRUB to add a launch option into Win7, which is on /dev/sda. | 19:37 |
| lordcirth | Everybodydothefl, why would you need drivers to install? | 19:37 |
| Bashing-om | zt_joom: Boot ubuntu .. and execute terminal command ' sudo update-grub ' to pick up Windows and chainload windows' boot code onto the ubuntu boot menu . | 19:38 |
| lordcirth | zt_joom, ^ | 19:38 |
| Everybodydothefl | @Bashing-om yeah Just Steam is the big issue on the distros that actually installed | 19:38 |
| fishcooker | yes im using lightdm.. i've got this https://bpaste.net/show/b33c4a0aac94 on the //var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log | 19:38 |
| lordcirth | zt_joom, yeah, now that you've fixed bootmgr, update-grub should find WIn7. | 19:38 |
| fishcooker | ducasse: | 19:39 |
| zt_joom | lordcirth, Bashing-om, Hmm Ok I will look into os-prober and check out update-grub. I assume I can do this on the Ubuntu drive on /dev/sdb or do I need to boot from a live disk? | 19:39 |
| lordcirth | zt_joom, just boot into ubuntu | 19:39 |
| fishcooker | nothing with EE, lordcirth | 19:39 |
| Everybodydothefl | @lordcirth, It's the only thing I can think of. Steam OS, Zorin & Pinguy couldnt even get past the loader, nor could UA Ubuntu, Ubuntu ultimate installed but failed to start session at boot, xubuntu voyager, Sparky, Ubuntu studio & Play linux all had the same issue where steam hangs | 19:40 |
| lordcirth | Everybodydothefl, do any of those have CLI installs? | 19:40 |
| zt_joom | lordcirth, Bashing-om, Thanks for your input guys, I'll try it out and let you guys know what happens. | 19:41 |

| lordcirth | Everybodydothefl, well, you could try something that does, like Ubuntu Minimal, and see if that works better. | 19:42 |
| fishcooker | i think there is problem with DM thing | 19:42 |
| Everybodydothefl | @lordcirth Only thing I can think of is that the GPU was creating snags that prevented the OS from a proper install that could only be remedied by having the drivers already installed making the GPU fully functional at the time of install | 19:43 |
| Everybodydothefl | Which is impossible | 19:43 |
| lordcirth | Everybodydothefl, well, not impossible. You could always make a new install USB with the drivers installed. | 19:44 |

| Everybodydothefl | Reason for selling? This high end gamilg laptop just isn't Linux friendly & I'd sooner use inferior hardware than go back to using Windows | 19:48 |

| Everybodydothefl | @Ducasse Understandable. I'll come back in a bit & let you guys know how it turns out | 19:49 |
| BillyTheKid | When I type vgdisplay I get "WARNING: Device for PV SOME_UUID_HERE not found or rejected by a filter.". This is about an old disk that I removed. How can I resolve this? | 19:49 |
| damolima | How can I get bash filename autocomplete to be case insensitive? | 19:53 |
| ducasse | damolima: 'set completion-ignore-case on' in ~/.inputrc | 19:54 |
| ducasse | damolima: then reload, default is C-x C-r | 19:56 |

| maricela | hola | 20:11 |
| ducasse | Slugdude: sorry, no. my thought is that amdgpu is very new, and might still need work. you could file a bug, would help if you are able to narrow down the cause. | 20:12 |

| Slugdude | ducasse: pretty hard to narrow it down when there's literally no error messages | 20:13 |
| Slugdude | "Process crashed with exitcode 0" is not very helpful. | 20:14 |
| ducasse | Slugdude: yes, i saw that, but you could try looking at the x logs, for example. | 20:15 |
| ducasse | Slugdude: i mean, what do you expect the devs to do? "game x just closes without error" tells them nothing, and they don't have your system for testing. | 20:16 |

| MonkeyDust | Slugdude we, or the devs, need *something* to work with, to start looking for a solution | 20:19 |
| bekks | Metamorphosis: Because of the shipped kernel modules. | 20:19 |
| k1l | Metamorphosis: did you turn off the fake "fast reboot" feature that blocks ntfs partitions to be mounted form non windows OS? | 20:20 |
| bq | i am behind GWF. so i used sockproxy to bypass it. now i can access the blocked urls such as facebook.com and google.com. but i still could not access player.google.com. what reason? | 20:20 |
| Metamorphosis | k1l this is a somewhat old laptop which still uses bios. it was released in 2009 and has Windows 7 home premium 64 bit on it. | 20:21 |
| ducasse | bq: not really an ubuntu problem, maybe try ##networking. | 20:21 |
| k1l | Metamorphosis: that is not a uefi feature. its a windows feature that dosnt shut down properly now but instead keeps the partitions in a hibernation state which the linux ntfs module doesnt want to mount to not corrupt data. | 20:22 |

| BillyTheKid | I run individually on the two disks, vgreduce --removemissing after removing the mirroring | 20:56 |
| BillyTheKid | first disk I tried it, it worked fine. rebooted it and again worked fine. | 20:56 |
| BillyTheKid | I plugged in the second disk, did the same but then I could not boot it | 20:57 |
| ikonia | plugged in the second disk ? | 20:57 |
| ikonia | it's a mirror - both should be there | 20:57 |
| ikonia | not one unplugged | 20:57 |
| ikonia | BillyTheKid: just tell us the actual problem as it standard now | 20:57 |
| BillyTheKid | I removed the mirroring | 20:57 |
| ikonia | what is the problem you currently have | 20:57 |
| BillyTheKid | I can't mount my disks, | 20:58 |
| ikonia | BillyTheKid: ok - how are you trying to mount them | 20:58 |
| BillyTheKid | Fdisk: | 20:58 |
| BillyTheKid | fdisk: /dev/sdb2 514048 937703087 937189040 446.9G 8e Linux LVM | 20:58 |
| ikonia | fdisk doesn't mount a disk | 20:58 |

| ikonia | BillyTheKid: tell us how you are trying to mount it | 20:59 |
| streulma | normally: mount /dev/sdx /mountpoint | 20:59 |
| BillyTheKid | I type: /dev/sdb2 | 20:59 |
| BillyTheKid | mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' | 20:59 |
| ikonia | BillyTheKid: /dev/sdb2 is not a command | 20:59 |
| streulma | I now a raid system you can rebuild | 20:59 |
| streulma | I doesn't know if it is the same with LVM | 21:00 |
| ikonia | show us the exact command you are using to mount the disk | 21:00 |
| thatoneguy99 | anyone willing to help me creat a init.d script | 21:00 |

| BillyTheKid | sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt | 21:00 |
| BillyTheKid | this si the command | 21:00 |
| BillyTheKid | sorry guys nerve rack... | 21:00 |
| ikonia | BillyTheKid: so thats not going to work as thats not a logical volume | 21:01 |
| ikonia | thats a physical device | 21:01 |
| ikonia | so, can you pastebin the output of "sudo vgdisplay -v" into a pastebin please. | 21:01 |
| BillyTheKid | No volume groups found. | 21:01 |
| Slugdude | ducasse: found "[drm:amdgpu_init [amdgpu]] *ERROR* VGACON disables amdgpu kernel modesetting" in dmesg. | 21:01 |
| ikonia | BillyTheKid: ok, so "sudo vgscan" | 21:02 |
| BillyTheKid | " Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while..." | 21:02 |
| BillyTheKid | then i did again vgdisplay and nothing | 21:02 |
| ducasse | Slugdude: ok, which kernel is this? | 21:03 |
| ikonia | ok - so you haven on volume groups | 21:03 |
| ikonia | BillyTheKid: so what happened to the volume groups ? | 21:03 |
| Slugdude | 4.8 | 21:03 |
| BillyTheKid | I have no idea what happened | 21:03 |
| Slugdude | Not sure what build exactly. | 21:03 |
| ducasse | Slugdude: uname -r | 21:03 |
| ikonia | BillyTheKid: did you reduce the volume group to no physical devices ? | 21:03 |
| BillyTheKid | maybe | 21:03 |
| BillyTheKid | I tried to remove disks that where missing | 21:04 |
| Slugdude | 4.8.0-0408000rc4-generic | 21:04 |
| Bitnova | i accidentally configured gufw as it appeared in settings before it finished installing properly. would gufw still be working correctly or did something get messed up? | 21:04 |
| ikonia | BillyTheKid: I suspect you're removing more than the missing disks | 21:04 |
| BillyTheKid | vgreduce --removemissing | 21:04 |
| Slugdude | Pretty sure I need >= 4.7 because that's when Polaris support was added. | 21:04 |
| BillyTheKid | but I did it individually by plugging each disk separately | 21:04 |
| BillyTheKid | ikonia: did I lose allmy data? | 21:04 |
| ikonia | BillyTheKid: I don't understand why you're removed the disks | 21:05 |
| ducasse | Slugdude: imo all you can do is file a bug, very few people here have any experience with amdgpu. | 21:05 |
| BillyTheKid | ikonia: I have was in an old to new disk copy of data. | 21:05 |
| ikonia | BillyTheKid: yes, but why did you disconnect the disk - then plug them back in one at a time doing a "remove" | 21:05 |
| BillyTheKid | ikonia: i followed a guide that described the mirroring method. first you mirror them, then you remove the mirroring | 21:06 |
| ikonia | that makes no sense | 21:06 |
| === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant | ||
| bekks | BillyTheKid: All you would have needed was a lvconvert --splitmirrors. | 21:06 |
| ikonia | BillyTheKid: yeah, you remove the mirroring, you don't unplug the disks then plug them back in removing them one at a time | 21:07 |
| ikonia | BillyTheKid: I suspect you've reduced the volume group to no devices | 21:07 |
| BillyTheKid | bekks: I run that | 21:07 |
| bekks | BillyTheKid: No, you did far more. | 21:07 |
| ikonia | as if you didn't a vgscan would show the meta data on the disks for the old volume group | 21:07 |
| BillyTheKid | is there any way to recover the data? | 21:07 |
| bekks | BillyTheKid: From your backup. | 21:07 |
| BillyTheKid | that was my backup :( | 21:07 |
| ikonia | raid is not a backup | 21:08 |
| bekks | Then you still have the original data on another machine. | 21:08 |
| BillyTheKid | is there anything else i can do? | 21:08 |
| chutney | are there any *nix utils which can safely zero-out unused sectors on a windows drive? | 21:08 |
| BillyTheKid | can with your help validate that indeed I lost everything? | 21:08 |
| bekks | BillyTheKid: You did. Maybe some company like KrollOntrack can recover stuff, but you did a real good job. | 21:09 |
| ducasse | BillyTheKid: if you have the original data, what is the problem? | 21:10 |
| BillyTheKid | i don't have the original data | 21:10 |
| ikonia | ducasse: I don't think he does, when he reduced the volume, he's removed the original disk too | 21:10 |
| ducasse | BillyTheKid: you said this was a backup | 21:10 |
| BillyTheKid | ok let me explain what I did | 21:10 |
| ikonia | ducasse: he backed up by mirroring a disk inside the VG - then reduced the VG to no disks | 21:10 |
| ikonia | looks like he made some odd "make a mirror and pull the disks, then put each one back in one at a time removing it from the volume group" approach | 21:11 |
| ducasse | ikonia: ok, could he recover from the lvm backups? | 21:11 |
| ikonia | ducasse: there are no lvm backups | 21:11 |
| ikonia | he's reduced the volume to no voluems | 21:11 |
| ikonia | so the logical metadata is gone | 21:11 |
| ducasse | ikonia: /etc/lvm/backups? | 21:11 |
| ikonia | nah | 21:11 |
| ikonia | vgscan shows nothing that matches | 21:11 |
| BillyTheKid | that is on the vm | 21:11 |
| ikonia | you could try an import | 21:11 |
| ikonia | but you'll get nothing in my opinion | 21:11 |

| BillyTheKid | I can plug in only one hdd on my laptop. the other one is plugged in externally. I moved all the data as you said by mirroring, then removed the mirroring, rebooted and tested the new hard disk that I have all my data. | 21:12 |
| BillyTheKid | it was complaining about a missing device, which I removed with the command that I posted earlier. I rebooted and then everything was working fine | 21:13 |
| ducasse | BillyTheKid: i agree with ikonia and bekks, you'll need professional help to recover data. | 21:13 |
| BillyTheKid | check out what I write :( | 21:13 |
| ikonia | i've got a fair idea what you've done based on what you've written | 21:13 |
| bekks | BillyTheKid: What did you do after everything worked fine? | 21:13 |
| ikonia | not %100 sure, but I believe I've got a soli guess | 21:14 |
| BillyTheKid | what I did was I completely removed my new disk from the pc, plugged in the OLD harddisk and tried to boot it. I just wanted to see if I have a copy on the old disk | 21:14 |
| bekks | BillyTheKid: So the OLD disk isnt working, but the new one is? | 21:14 |
| BillyTheKid | it could not boot because it was seeing the NEW disk. so I booted with live cd, run again the vgreduce. | 21:15 |
| BillyTheKid | No that is the thing | 21:15 |
| ikonia | it won't "see" the new disk | 21:15 |
| BillyTheKid | now none of them work | 21:15 |
| ikonia | it can't "see" the new disk | 21:15 |
| ikonia | you've unplugged it | 21:15 |
| bekks | Or he justs didnt. | 21:15 |
| BillyTheKid | guys I tried with both of them. I can;t find any vg in there | 21:15 |
| bekks | That would explain the entire loss of data. | 21:15 |
| ikonia | I know what' she's done, he's tried to remove the missing disk message by reducing the volume group and it's removed the missing disk (which was the working one that wasn't plugged in as he's booting from the old disk" | 21:15 |
| ikonia | he's then put the new disk in - booted it, but it's removed all the LVM metadata so it doens't know about it | 21:16 |
| ikonia | so his data is gone | 21:16 |
| bekks | Ack. | 21:16 |
| BillyTheKid | but I did this individually to each disk. | 21:17 |
| BillyTheKid | how the hell did it remove all the data from both? | 21:17 |
| ikonia | because you did it on each disk | 21:17 |
| bekks | So you removed all metadata from all disks. | 21:17 |
| ikonia | individually | 21:17 |
| Slugdude | OK, I have a baaaad feeling about this: http://imgur.com/MYy7Rbp | 21:17 |
| BillyTheKid | yes but they were NOT plugged in at the same time, except during the data transfer | 21:18 |
| lordcirth | Slugdude, yeah that's not good. tried booting a previous kernel? | 21:18 |
| ikonia | yes, but you kept plugging them in and running the reduce command | 21:18 |
| === massimo is now known as Guest23964 | ||
| BillyTheKid | ikonia: the two disks where not mirrored | 21:18 |
| ikonia | so ? | 21:19 |
| BillyTheKid | I run the reduce command on the new, then reboot it and it still worked | 21:19 |
| ikonia | you plugged them in and typed reduce | 21:19 |
| BillyTheKid | then I unplugged it and put the old disk. did the same | 21:19 |
| BillyTheKid | how could this possibly affect both disks? | 21:19 |
| ikonia | yes, so you reduced it again | 21:19 |
| ikonia | because you plug in the disk and type reduce | 21:20 |
| Slugdude | Other kernels give me a panic | 21:20 |
| ikonia | then you plug in the next disk and type redue | 21:20 |
| BillyTheKid | where do the lvm data are stored? | 21:20 |
| ikonia | so you lost your metadata | 21:20 |
| ikonia | on the disks | 21:20 |
| ducasse | BillyTheKid: you are screwed, essentially. | 21:20 |
| ikonia | and in the lvmtab | 21:20 |
| Slugdude | All I did was sudo apt update | 21:20 |
| BillyTheKid | ikonia: just to understand what the heck happened. When i reduced the 1st disk (new) | 21:20 |
| Slugdude | :( | 21:20 |
| BillyTheKid | and I rebooted. why did it work? | 21:20 |
| BillyTheKid | the old disk was not connected | 21:21 |
| bekks | BillyTheKid: It worked because one disk was still there. | 21:21 |
| ikonia | BillyTheKid: because you had not reduced that disk out of the lvm | 21:21 |
| BillyTheKid | which disk was there? | 21:21 |
| bekks | BillyTheKid: The one you booted. | 21:21 |
| BillyTheKid | bekks: new disk, run reduce (to remove the old disk), reboot, still works | 21:22 |
| BillyTheKid | no old disk plugged in. | 21:22 |
| BillyTheKid | I am using an external cable. because it's a laptop | 21:22 |
| SonikkuAmerica | My location: Johnson City, United States | 21:23 |
| BillyTheKid | bekks, ikonia: guys I do apprecaite your help. Thanks a lot for atleast pointing out what the heck I did | 21:24 |
| bekks | BillyTheKid: Good luck, and hopefully you will get a small bill from the company restoring your data. | 21:24 |
| BillyTheKid | bekks: can you just explain me one last thing? | 21:25 |
| ducasse | could he recover some of it with testdisk/photorec? | 21:25 |
| ducasse | never tried it on lvm. | 21:25 |
| ikonia | dracarys: no, due to it being lvm | 21:25 |
| BillyTheKid | only 1 disk is plugged in on my laptop at a time, I had the new disk in, run reduce and rebooted it | 21:25 |
| BillyTheKid | it worked normally | 21:25 |
| ikonia | ducasse: the data it scattered and there is no real partition table to match it up to | 21:26 |
| * dracarys looks at ikonia | 21:26 | |
| BillyTheKid | why the heck does not now? | 21:26 |
| bekks | BillyTheKid: Yeah, KrollOntrack can be reached under: 800.872.2599 :) | 21:26 |
| ducasse | ikonia: i see. | 21:26 |
| BillyTheKid | bekks: I can't afford a company man | 21:26 |
| BillyTheKid | I ask to ensure that indeed there is nothing else i can do, because it does not seem normal mate. | 21:27 |
| Humorousone | Hello | 21:27 |
| BillyTheKid | the new disk was working and it was completely unplugged when I reduced the old disk | 21:27 |
| Ben64 | i bet photorec would get some stuff at least | 21:27 |
| BillyTheKid | are you guys sure I lost everything? | 21:27 |
| bekks | Yes. | 21:27 |
| Humorousone | I have some weirdness with audio on this laptop. I can hear white noise and a whine when headphones are plugged in. Muting the audio fixes it. | 21:28 |
| Ben64 | BillyTheKid: but then you reduced the new disk, right? | 21:28 |
| BillyTheKid | Ben64: I reduced the old disk afterwards | 21:28 |
| BillyTheKid | with the new disk completely unplugged | 21:29 |
| Ben64 | but you reduced both of them you said | 21:29 |
| BillyTheKid | yes individually | 21:29 |
| bekks | And then you connected both disks and booted, and each of them knew "I need to update the metadata of the other one to remove it". | 21:29 |
| bekks | And both were gone. | 21:29 |
| BillyTheKid | I can't pluggin both of them at the same time | 21:29 |
| BillyTheKid | because it is a laptop | 21:29 |
| bekks | BillyTheKid: Whatever you did there, essentially you have no disk containing valid data anymore. Data is gone. | 21:32 |
| BillyTheKid | guys guys, I plugged in the old one and I see the volume group | 21:32 |

| bekks | thats not trying to mount a volume. | 21:33 |
| bekks | sdb5 is a PV. | 21:33 |
| BillyTheKid | can we validate that I lost the data from here too? | 21:34 |
| BillyTheKid | what do I type? | 21:34 |
| bekks | mount the lv. | 21:34 |
| BillyTheKid | bekks: how? | 21:35 |
| bekks | by finding its name using lvdisplay | 21:35 |
| BillyTheKid | lvdisplay is empty | 21:35 |

| Humorousone | BillyTheKid: You are part of the reason this IRC channel is awesome | 21:43 |
| Humorousone | ;) | 21:43 |
| Guest55588 | Iḿ Rafa - how are you? | 21:43 |
| BillyTheKid | bekks: Just want to clarify that on my laptop I can connect 1 disk at a time. So when I finished copying the data (using external cable), I disconnected the old disk, booted the new one. Everything worked fine. I reduced the group as I told you earlier. Then rebooted and everything worked. Then I removed the hdd from the laptop. | 21:45 |
| bekks | BillyTheKid: How did you copy data when you are not able to connect source AND target at the same time? | 21:45 |
| BillyTheKid | bekks: then I plugged in the old disk and I f*cked up apparently. So the question is How did the new disk got messed up when it was not connected? | 21:45 |
| bekks | BillyTheKid: And how often will you ask the same thing again? Your data IS gone. You just found out thtat it is | 21:46 |
| BillyTheKid | bekks: I copied them with external cable. Which at he time of "reduce operations" it was not connected. | 21:46 |

| krastavac | can you install pc ubuntu on android phone natively with all hw and drivers like wifi functioning? | 21:48 |

| zykotick9 | purpleidea: good luck with totem... i'm with bazhang on this as well. i actually use mpv myself, but i know that's not for everyone ;) | 21:48 |
| bekks | BillyTheKid: So what do you expect me to say? :) | 21:48 |
| bazhang | krastavac, perhaps try #ubuntu-touch for that | 21:48 |
| BillyTheKid | bekks: got it... thanks mate | 21:49 |
| krastavac | no i want pc ubuntu for low disipation server | 21:49 |
| bazhang | krastavac, you just said on a phone | 21:49 |

| Sentreen | So if I understand it correctly I can add the willy version to the sources apt searches and install it that way? | 22:11 |
| OerHeks | Sentreen, the problem is: only zeroc ICE 3.7.x will support PHP7.0. | 22:11 |
| JackMayol | hi guys | 22:12 |
| Sentreen | Ah, so I'm out of luck until they decide to add it upstream? | 22:13 |
| OerHeks | Sentreen, i think you can build it yourself https://github.com/zeroc-ice/ice/tree/master/php | 22:13 |
| OerHeks | Sentreen, not sure, maybe Pici got a better answer | 22:14 |
| JackMayol | I have 226k files in a folder and can't use grep anymore as the "argument list is too long". To make some free space I'd want to delete every file that hasn't been modified in the last 473 days. What command should I use for that? | 22:14 |
| OerHeks | JackMayol, see this example, older than one year > http://askubuntu.com/questions/413529/delete-files-older-than-one-year-on-linux | 22:15 |
| Sentreen | Okay, I was hoping apt could solve it for me, so I thought I'd ask it here first | 22:15 |
| Sentreen | Thanks for the pointers :) | 22:15 |
| JackMayol | OerHeks it should be about when the files has last been modified and not created | 22:16 |
| JackMayol | as I am not sure what "days old" means, if it's when it has been created or modified | 22:17 |
| kevchn | hello | 22:18 |
| OerHeks | JackMayol, you need the mtime > http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-finding-files-by-date/ | 22:18 |
| jkmiller | hello | 22:19 |
| kevchn | HELLO | 22:19 |
| jkmiller | knickers | 22:19 |
| kevchn | THIS FEELS GOOD | 22:19 |
| kevchn | undewear | 22:19 |
| JackMayol | ok cool, thanks OerHeks | 22:19 |
| kevchn | no problem | 22:19 |
| MrHall | hi guys | 22:19 |
| MrHall | is eclipse.org off? | 22:20 |
| MrHall | y install a new pc today and i cant join | 22:20 |
| OerHeks | MrHall, yes, website is down > http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/eclipse.org/ | 22:21 |
| k1l_ | MrHall: ask #eclipse | 22:22 |
| User0 | any good antivirus for ubuntu? | 22:27 |
| OerHeks | !antivirus | 22:27 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using Samba). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 22:27 |
| Nukien | Weird situation - using mdadm in a script referencing disks in /dev/disk/by-id/... that fails with a "No such file or directory". | 22:27 |
| Nukien | Yet the exact same command from the cmdline works fine. | 22:27 |
| OerHeks | antivirus is useless today, monitoring files and services is more reliable | 22:27 |
| Nukien | For some reason the script can't follow the symlink | 22:28 |
| User0 | thnks | 22:28 |
| JackMayol | so, only 184k files remaining in the folder woohoo :) grep takes ages though when I do this for example: grep -i 'username="jonathan2345"' *.profile even though a while back (with the same amount of files) it was much faster. My knowledge is not good enough to have an idea about what could make it so slow. It will probably takes several minutes | 22:28 |
| OerHeks | JackMayol, maybe a filemanager like 'mc' midnight commander can do it swiftly | 22:30 |
| JackMayol | OerHeks ok will check. | 22:31 |
| lordcirth | JackMayol, did you already delete all the pre-473 days files? | 22:31 |
| dreamer__ | hey | 22:31 |
| JackMayol | lordcirth yes | 22:31 |
| JackMayol | else I wouldnt have been able to make a grep command at all because of "argument list too long" | 22:32 |
| lordcirth | JackMayol, you could try grep -F and see if that's faster. | 22:32 |
| lordcirth | JackMayol, also, grep can be given a directory, so in future if bash's '*' expands to too long a string, you can call grep -r on '.' for the same result. | 22:33 |
| JackMayol | ah ok | 22:34 |
| Nexus | Hey, I'm so new I don't know what to ask. Where might I start learning? | 22:47 |
| Bashing-om | !manual | Nexus | 22:47 |
| ubottu | Nexus: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 22:47 |
| Nexus | ok I'll start there thx | 22:48 |
| Bashing-om | Nexus: :) .. We are here to help . | 22:49 |
| OerHeks | Help, we are here. | 22:49 |
| Nexus | I notice it is for ubuntu 16 but I have 15.04. How do I update to 16.04 from the one I have? | 22:52 |
| OerHeks | Nexus, 15.04 > 15.10 > 16.04 lts .. i would do a fresh install | 22:53 |
| OerHeks | else follow this EOL guide .. | 22:53 |
| OerHeks | !eolupgrade | 22:54 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 22:54 |
| Nexus | oh boy, ok, I considered myself lucky that this install worked on a small partition on what elsewise is a windows machine... that I could still boot into windows was a stroke of luck. I'll look over those wiki's to figure out next steps | 22:58 |

| Rarrikins | krthk_: With services, always either use the status window or open a query window to NickServ or whatever and use that. | 23:10 |
| OerHeks | It is not the password, rahtgaz | 23:11 |

| jonathan_ | hello | 23:13 |
| jonathan_ | I have a remote hard drive that has Acronis backups from a windows machine, can I retrieve those under Linux? | 23:13 |
| rahtgaz | Depends on the file format of Acronis backups or if it allows you to specify a file format for your backups. It does have a linux version. So maybe, even if the format is closed and proprietary, you can recover from the Linux version of Acronis | 23:17 |
| OerHeks | rahtgaz +1, linux server version. (paid) | 23:19 |
| OerHeks | else there is an Acronis Live Iso, but that only restores i guess. | 23:20 |
| rahtgaz | when using both linux and windows is always a good option to start moving your windows software to more open formats. There's plenty of backup software for windows (that is lighter and arguably better) that generates more friendly file formats | 23:21 |
| jonathan_ | Well my windows desktop went underwater in a flood and all I got out with was my Ubuntu laptop | 23:22 |
| OerHeks | clonezilla ftw | 23:22 |
| jonathan_ | ok | 23:22 |
