lotuspsychjelets c nacc16:48

oerheksi suspect he uses a lot of things *we* talk about, that is nice ( if he would give us credit too)16:48
lotuspsychjelol, found on irc..16:49

lotuspsychjei was thinking, grub can be lost/damaged by other things then windows right?17:04
lotuspsychje!recovergrub17:04
ubot5Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub17:04
lotuspsychjeconfused a user this morning17:05
immuhmm17:05
nacclotuspsychje: you can break grub with linux :)17:05
lotuspsychjenacc: :p17:06
nacce.g., dd over your MBR17:07
nacci mean, windows breaks it quicker, probably :)17:07
lotuspsychjeoh well, the url is there so17:10
immuhmm17:10
lotuspsychjewhat hmm immu ?17:11
Bashing-omMulti booting several 'buntu releases .. I have a lot of experience breaking grub :P17:11
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: lol17:11
immucritical thinking at your thoughts :) lotuspsychje17:11
lotuspsychjeLost GRUB after installing another Operating system? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub17:11
lotuspsychjewould this be better nacc?17:12
nacclotuspsychje: oh i was just kidding17:12
nacclotuspsychje: more than likely it can just be 'Lost GRUB?'17:12
lotuspsychjeno, i mean would this be valid?17:12
lotuspsychjeor are there other ways to loose grub non-os related?17:12
naccoff the top of my head, i don't know17:13
nacci imagine once could fubar the grub cfg17:13
lotuspsychjeyeah was just thinking, delating stuf17:13
lotuspsychjedelete17:13
immuMBR attacked by some virus17:13
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: What I see most often in multi-booting is recursion within the grub.cfg file from other install's grub .17:26
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: ok great but in theory perhaps messing with other boot programs like lilo could break grub also perhaps?17:27
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: Oh gosh .. been so long since I messed with lilo. will have to think on this .17:29
nacclotuspsychje: i think, if using lilo or others on normal systems, it will *replace* grub17:29
naccin the boot sector17:29
nacclilo is rarely used outside of ia64/power, though, right?17:29
naccand power went to yaboot17:30
naccand is now grub217:30
lotuspsychjeyeah17:30
immuThis is a synopsis of recent activity in DroneBL. DroneBL is a realtime monitor of abusable IPs, which has the goal of stopping abuse of infected machines.17:30
naccso yes, installing lilo then runing lilo --install or whatever, would break grub :)17:30
naccbut you'd need to be root17:30
lotuspsychjejust thinking of the trigger nacc, what else could happen to break17:30
nacclotuspsychje: yeah, i'm not sure you can come up with a fully-inclusive list17:31
naccwhat you have is probably good enough17:31
ducasseyou might be overthinking this, lotus :)17:31
lotuspsychjeill think nacc first sugestion to keep it simple would be best then17:31
lotuspsychjeHave you lost GRUB? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub to restore it.17:32
nacc+117:32
lotuspsychjebut i doubt the ops gonna like this17:32
lotuspsychjethey surely will ask why to erase windows :p17:33

* nacc thinks gear4 shouldn't have bid on a contract they don't undrestand17:51
ducassesomething is fishy here...17:54
naccyeah, my instinct was trolling17:54
naccyou can setup fully unauth'd ssh17:54
naccbut it's so terrible that no one does17:54
naccand if any client machine is compromised, there goes your repo17:54
ducassehe's not listening to that, though.17:55
naccright17:55
naccand called me blind and arthiritic instead :)17:55
ducasse:)17:55
naccducasse: i'm tempted to ask what company they are contracting with and make sure not to order anything from them :)18:01
ducasseis this too rude: ?18:02
ducassegear4: you might want to take into consideration that when everybody tells you something is stupid there's a good chance it is, and maybe pass that on to whoever's in charge...18:02
naccducasse: i just don't think they are responsive18:02
naccto such feedback, i mean18:02
ducasseok, then screw it and good luck to him :)18:02
nacci also stand by my position that it's not an ubuntu support topic to a) solve a non-problem that they are being paid to solve b) configure a service for a user in an insecure way18:03
ducassei whole-heartedly agree. kind of like helping people do their homework.18:06
naccyeah -- or at least be up front that "i can't do my job, how do i do this?" :)18:07
ducasse:)18:09
immusurvey done18:11
DJonesAnobody thats on Ubuntu 17.04 (Unity) can you check something for me, right clicking on the desktop lets me create a new folder, but not a new document, is that right, I'm sure I used to be able to create new text documents etc18:34
=== JanC_ is now known as JanC
DJonesAh never mind, default Nautilus file browser lacks ‘New Document’ option in its context menu (right-click menu) in my fresh installed Ubuntu 17.0418:44
naccDJones: LP: #1437502 ?18:45
ubot5Launchpad bug 1437502 in Ubuntu GNOME "nautilus lacking 'new document' in context menu on GNOME" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/143750218:45
naccDJones: i found another bug that was duped to that one that was about unity (i think)18:45
DJonesnacc: Yeah, touch ~/Templates/Untitled\ Document fixes the issue, looks like a nautilus bug/issue18:46
naccDJones: ah ok18:47
DJoneshttp://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2017/04/enable-new-document-context-menu-in-ubuntu-17-04/18:47
DJonesSeems to explain it18:47
DJonesducasse: Sorry for pm18:48
ducasseDJones: np. the way he was harassing ikonia for a while i didn't expect that to happen soon :)18:51
immuDJones, no new right click for docs menu entry not present19:14

Ben64heh, can pick both left and right side for window controls on the survey22:53
naccis it confusing to anyone else when someone comes in and doesn't know what ubuntu they are running?23:10
nacci'm trying to think of reasons that happens23:10
naccI guess if a University gives you a VM or something23:11
naccor your company does23:11
naccbut presuming you installed it -- how do you not know what version you installed23:11
naccmaybe people are so used to the loud windows splash screen?23:11
