| festerB | hiya all, not new to linux but on my first day in xubuntu land, loving the lightness of if so far, any recommended must todo's on a clean insstall? | 00:32 |

| Unit193 | "Install the applications you want to use, change the configuration to what you like"? | 00:33 |
| festerB | well gee whiz luise!;-) | 00:34 |
| festerB | whats your fav version of vim for xfce? | 00:35 |
| festerB | terminal only | 00:35 |
| Unit193 | I seem to have the standard version, 'vim'. Preferences will change per user, I know I have some oddball packages installed and in use. :) | 00:36 |
| gopar | festerB, have you ever tried emacs? ;) (Flame war? :D | 00:37 |
| festerB | i went all out with vim-gtk3-py2 - feels ok | 00:38 |
| festerB | gopar: to late for me, flames that is - yawn | 00:39 |
| gopar | festerB, haha I get ya. I never understood the point of the "war". Shouldn't we just be happy we're using effective tools? Meh | 00:40 |
| festerB | a tool for a job etc, aight | 00:41 |

| xubuntu29w | i'm creating a bootable usb for dual booting windows 10 (reluctantly) and 16.04.1. Should I format the usb to FAT32, exFAT, or NTFS? | 15:31 |
| xubuntu29w | I don't want to run into issues during the install | 15:31 |
| xubuntu29w | I'll be using Rufus to create this USB image | 15:32 |
| xubuntu51w | I need help. I'm dual booting Windows 10 and 16.04.1 from a single HDD. When I set-up Xubuntu, can I select the full-disk encryption option or will that not work with / mess up the Windows OS? | 16:32 |
| tmsbrg | xubuntu51w, I'm pretty sure full disk encryption erases the whole disk | 16:33 |
| xubuntu51w | So it is only an option for those installing from a new disk? | 16:34 |
| xubuntu51w | Or if you are re-formatting? | 16:34 |
| tmsbrg | yes | 16:35 |
| xubuntu51w | Okay, I guess the next best option would be encrypting the /home folder. | 16:35 |
| tmsbrg | yes | 16:35 |
| xubuntu51w | Should I partition my unallocated space manually or use the "install Xubuntu alongsie Windows" | 16:36 |
| xubuntu51w | option | 16:36 |
| tmsbrg | it is probably also possible to encrypt your whole xubuntu partition without breaking windows but I'm pretty sure the standard option doesn't do it like that, you'd have to look up how to do it manually | 16:37 |
| xubuntu51w | Okay, I'll do it post-install. | 16:37 |
| xubuntu51w | My concern is running into issues during the xubuntu installation. I don't know if it would be safer to partition myself or use the default option. | 16:38 |
| tmsbrg | install xubuntu alongside windows is easiest and should allow you to encrypt your home directory | 16:38 |
| xubuntu51w | Thanks | 16:38 |
| tmsbrg | I'd always backup your data before installing OSes | 16:38 |
| tmsbrg | so that if anything goes wrong it's an inconvenience but not a big deal | 16:38 |
| tmsbrg | that said in my experience "install alongside .." has always worked pretty well | 16:39 |
| xubuntu51w | I backed up. Plus the current Windows install has nothing on it except firefox and 1 proprietary application I am required to use. That's the only reason why I'm dual booting in the first place. I hate windows. | 16:40 |
| xubuntu51w | This application does not work in a VM either. So dual boot is the only way. | 16:40 |
| tmsbrg | xubuntu51w, the bane of every linux user, windows-only programs | 16:41 |
| tmsbrg | luckily I have none I need to use at the moment but I know how annoying it is | 16:42 |
| xubuntu51w | Yeah. I switched to xubuntu from windows full time last year and have been running it as the only OS on my system until now. | 16:43 |
| xubuntu51w | Dual booting really takes away from the experience (and HDD space) | 16:44 |
| xubuntu55w | okay, so I finished dual booting windows 10 and 16.04.1. Something I've noticed is that the windows partition is visible in thunar, but the xubuntu partition is not visible in windows explorer. | 17:36 |
| xubuntu55w | Also, when I try to access/mount the windows volume in xubuntu (using thunar) I receive an error. | 17:37 |
| xubuntu55w | Is this error because the windows volume is NTFS? | 17:37 |
| bekks | Windows cant mount, read, whatever Non-Windows-Partitions. | 17:37 |
| bekks | And there is no way to change that. | 17:37 |
| xubuntu55w | ok | 17:37 |
| xubuntu55w | Can ubuntu not read the ntfs windows partition? | 17:38 |
| xubuntu55w | Thus the error in thunar | 17:38 |
| bekks | Ubuntu can read NTFS, but your Windows cant read your Linux partitions. | 17:38 |
| bekks | Thats what you said above. | 17:38 |
| xubuntu55w | so why do can't I mouny the windows partition from xubuntu | 17:39 |
| xubuntu55w | *why can't | 17:39 |
| xubuntu55w | actually the windows volume seems to be mounting now | 17:41 |
| xubuntu55w | I don | 17:41 |
| xubuntu55w | I don't want to mess with it though, so would accessing the windows files from xubuntu be bad for the windows OS? | 17:41 |
| knome | windows system files, yes | 17:41 |
| knome | your personal files, np | 17:42 |
| knome | *no | 17:42 |
| xubuntu55w | So can I transfer personal files between OSs from xubuntu if I wish to without error? | 17:42 |
| knome | as said before, windows can't read non-windows file systems, so not from windows, but other than that, yes | 17:43 |
| xubuntu55w | On second thought, I'm rarely going to be using the windows OS anyway. Can I hide the volume from showing up in thunar so I don't have to deal with it? | 17:43 |
| knome | you can at least edit your fstab to stop it from mounting automatically | 17:45 |
| knome | !fstab | 17:45 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.pclosmag.com/html/Issues/200709/page07.html and !Partitions | 17:45 |
| xubuntu55w | thanks | 17:46 |
| xubuntu55w | have a good one | 17:47 |
| how2installkeypa | How do I install keypassx from the terminal? | 18:32 |

| xubuntu85wgg | grub rescue attempt to read or write outside of disk | 18:56 |

| xubuntu85wgg | что делать????????????? | 18:57 |
| === Rowlet is now known as GeekDude | ||
| xubuntu55w | I chose the option to encrypt my /home folder at installation and was prompted with my passphrase when I first logged in. However, I can access my home folder without the passphrase...what did I do wrong? | 22:04 |
| xubuntu55w | I can't find a gui tool to change the encryption settings, so I'm not sure how to get it running. | 22:05 |
| xubuntu55w | does anyone know the name of the encryption tool so that I can look up an online guide? | 22:11 |
| xubuntu55w | how do I configure home folder encrption if I selected it during the install | 22:35 |
| Rarrikins | xubuntu55w: Whenever you're logged in, your home directory will be unencrypted. | 22:39 |
| Rarrikins | xubuntu55w: If you want it encrypted, log out. | 22:39 |
| xubuntu55w | Oh, I was under the impression that accessing the home directory would require a passphrase (even when logged in) | 22:42 |
| knome | that would be kind of silly as it's read by applications all the time | 22:43 |
| xubuntu55w | Yeah that's true | 22:43 |
| knome | if you want to further encrypt *some* data, there are ways to do that | 22:43 |
| xubuntu55w | I wanted to do full-disk encryption but I have to dual boot w/ windows unfortunately | 22:44 |
| xubuntu55w | as soon as I can run just xubuntu I will reformat and encrypt fully | 22:44 |
| xubuntu96i | ? | 23:28 |
| knome | ! | 23:34 |
| ordinate | i am having problems | 23:41 |
| knome | shall we call a doctor? | 23:42 |
| ordinate | xubuntu 16.06 soft locks after logging in | 23:42 |
| knome | there is no xubuntu 16.06, do you mean 16.04? | 23:42 |
| ordinate | mistype | 23:42 |
| ordinate | yep | 23:42 |
| knome | what do you mean by "soft lock"? | 23:42 |
| ordinate | all i get is a light blue screen and the mouse pointer | 23:42 |
| ordinate | i can move the mouse pointer all around, but nothing is happening | 23:42 |
| knome | does this happen with a guest account? | 23:42 |
| ordinate | ctrl-alt-f3 works | 23:43 |
| ordinate | yes | 23:43 |
| ordinate | also since installing xubuntu my win10 partition thinks it's 5 hours ahead but that's neither here nor there | 23:44 |
| ordinate | the black bar up top is there before login, but then it disappears | 23:47 |
| xubuntu09i | hola | 23:54 |
| knome | hello | 23:55 |
