[00:00] <redblade7> sinewav: i woudlnt recommend alsamixer since pulseaudio is running the show
[00:00] <sinewav> Oh right, forgot I was in xubuntu. Heh.
[00:00] <redblade7> and alsamixer doesnt give the ability to mute certain programs
[00:00] <redblade7> slackware?
[00:01] <redblade7> i use xubuntu on my desktop and laptop, slackware on a vps and a headless dying 2007 computer running BOINC
[00:01] <redblade7> slackware actually switched to pulseaudio this version
[00:01] <redblade7> 14.2 runs on pulseaudio
[15:02] <Taxicletter> Hi everybody!
[15:02] <diogenes_> hi
[15:02] <Taxicletter> I have an external USB SSD drive which I want to "check"
[15:02] <Taxicletter> gparted crashes when I try to.
[15:02] <Taxicletter> So I would like to try it using the terminal.
[15:02] <diogenes_> Taxicletter, run in terminal: gksu gparted
[15:02] <Taxicletter> I want to check the disk, because RuneAudio only sees a part of the folders.
[15:04] <Taxicletter> I already tried sudo gparted :-) it said something about segmentation fault, core dumped.
[15:04] <Taxicletter> I googled that, but didn't find an answer...
 Taxicletter, run in terminal: gksu gparted
[15:06] <Taxicletter> yes, i'm doing that. Second time now, the first time gparted quited (nothing in terminal, except "libparted : 3.2"
[15:06] <Taxicletter> Second time, crashed again, nothing in terminal...
[15:06] <Taxicletter> Without the disk connected, gparted runs OK
[15:06] <Taxicletter> its FAT32 by the way, the disk
[15:07] <diogenes_> Taxicletter, what you trying to do?
[15:07] <Taxicletter> checking that disk? I don't what I could check, permissions, bad blocks, integrety?
[15:08] <Taxicletter> Because RuneAudio (mpd player on my raspberry pi) only sees 6 of the 30 folders
[15:08] <diogenes_> Taxicletter, try installing: gnome-disks
[15:08] <Taxicletter> yes, I have that.
[15:08] <Taxicletter> but the checking options are greyed out (those are for SMART I think?)
[15:09] <diogenes_> Taxicletter, I'm afraid your storage is broken and needs to be formatted first.
[15:10] <Taxicletter> I was afraid for that. I don't have enough free space on any device to copy everything TO and FROM :-)
[15:12] <Taxicletter> I format it again to FAT32? Because I want to be able to read and write on it with MacOS (later, maybe)
[15:13] <Taxicletter> I have to say, I like linux, Xubuntu, a lot, but I have trouble with USB drives all the time. Sometimes permissions, but a lot of time mysterious stuff, never clear what exactly. It's very sensitive to wrong disconnection it seems and no really good repairing software.
[15:14] <diogenes_> Taxicletter, try this one: https://askubuntu.com/questions/147228/how-to-repair-a-corrupted-fat32-file-system
[15:14] <Taxicletter> I will do that right away, thanks!
[15:18] <Taxicletter> When I do "sudo dosfsck -t -a -w /dev/sdd"
[15:19] <Taxicletter> It says "fsck.fat 3.0.28 (2015-05-16) - Logical sector size is zero."
[15:21] <Taxicletter> I tried the next option "sudo dosfsck -t -a -w /dev/sdd" with the same answer...
[15:22] <Taxicletter> If I do "dmesg|tail" I get different error messages.
[15:23] <Taxicletter> 5 times: "Buffer I/O error on dev sdc1, logical block 625140355, async page read""
[15:23] <Taxicletter> (with different blocks)
[15:24] <diogenes_> all is indicating that it's broken
[15:29] <Taxicletter> Yes, I'm googling the error messages and I'm afraid you're right. Thanks anyway

[20:26] <BadWithComputers> Hi. I have a computer with broken uefi but I can't figure out how to boot the usb stick (formatted as mbr with both uefi and bios) as bios.
[20:27] <BadWithComputers> Can I delete some files to force bios on the usb drive?
[21:39] <Guido1> Hello, https://github.com/phw198/OutlookGoogleCalendarSync
[21:39] <Guido1> Hello, Since the last time I used WiFi I had some crashes, boot repairs and updates. Now Xubuntu says that the WiFi adappter is not ready. It is a dual boot with Windows 10. How can I solve it?
