| diddledan | I wonder if anyone is working on something for the mac "touch bar" in linuxland..? | 11:16 |
| zmoylan-pi | do you think the touch bar is anything more than a gimmick that will be there in a few years? | 11:20 |
| diddledan | I don't really know what to think about it | 11:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | any other companies rushing to copy it? | 11:22 |
| diddledan | not that I've seen, but those other companies generally do touchable main displays | 11:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | the keyboard, a device professionals train to never look at... let's put a tiny display there away from the actual display... | 11:42 |
| Nokaji | can anyone help me get my printer back to working, it's a software issue caused by upgrading to software that was later 'rolled-back'. This was some months ago and I've never found a fix, - here's the latest errors - https://justpaste.it/edit/17486113/231d3c4d | 14:47 |
| Nokaji | ubuntu 16.04 | 14:51 |
| daftykins | Nokaji: did you go and ask in #ubuntu in the end? | 17:21 |
| Nokaji | daftykins: Yes, sorry, am in there now - thanks | 17:30 |

| Cacciatore | Hi, got me a bit of a situation here - After some mods and deletes I've lost access to ubuntu 16.04, unable to reboot. I'm considering downloading & installing over with the latest version | 18:57 |
| Cacciatore | My current concern is losing data, eg settings, passwords, files | 18:58 |
| penguin42 | Cacciatore: Boot off a live cd, mount the disc and copy your critical data off | 19:00 |
| Cacciatore | penguin42, good thinking | 19:01 |
| Cacciatore | I guess I can only lose stuff in the install drive | 19:01 |
| === Cacciatore is now known as Nokaji | ||
| Nokaji | okay, installed ubuntu on usb, ... will installing this corrupt my windows partion? | 19:24 |
| Nokaji | partition* | 19:25 |
| Nokaji | I guess I'll find out - nothing else for it | 19:25 |
| Nokaji | ciao for now... | 19:25 |
| daftykins | figured it'd be the same guy | 19:34 |
| daftykins | lmao | 19:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | these days i just blitz the windows partition, not worth the hassle of windows 'updating' and breaking a dual boot | 20:17 |
| diddledan | daftykins: is that not part of the UK's brexit plans to maintain borders? | 21:12 |
| Cacciatore | so, ... I've lost access to my ubuntu o/s partition. only option so far is 'install', which threatens to over-write everything there. That means unless I'm mistaken I shall lose everything such as emails and even email account settings. My next option is get another drive and at leisure try to recover the data - anyone any thoughts? | 21:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | boot off a live distro to copy the data off? | 21:42 |
| Cacciatore | zmoylan-pi, Yup, tried that, wasn't giving me access, maybe I screwed my password up | 21:44 |
| Cacciatore | tried logging in as the 'old' me also, it wouldn't have it | 21:45 |
| Cacciatore | not sure I'd even be able to retrieve the date if I add a drive but at least I have a chance, it's possible also that a frsh install won't wipe the old & 'extra' data/ settings but I'd have to push 'yes' to find out | 21:46 |
| Cacciatore | so get a new drive and take a crash course in advanced ubuntu for seasoned pro, or beginner to pro in 10001 not so easy lessonss | 21:48 |
| Cacciatore | is the SAMSUNG 850 Evo 2.5" Internal SSD - 500 GB still a good drive these days? | 21:50 |
| Cacciatore | damn, this is a right mess | 22:03 |
| Cacciatore | well, i guess the good news is I've been meaning to get one of those for a while AND I found me something worth finding whilst looking for a sata cable | 22:34 |
| Cacciatore | So, ... any tips on how to make this work, folks? - My first problem is gonna be transferring over my windows 10 partition without it balking at a 'changed system config' security check | 22:46 |
| enclude | Hi, which encryption software would you suggest for linux ? I used truecrypt on windows 8.1 and windows 10, also in the phase where it was not updated any more. | 23:15 |
| penguin42 | enclude: During installation if you ask for full disk encryption or LUKS encryption that's built into Linux | 23:16 |
| enclude | penguin42: I meant for genereal encryption for data, e.g. from smartphone | 23:17 |
| enclude | 01:29:17 - enclude: when i download doubtful software or software that i know that is malicious, then I usually shred it ( On Windows with eraser software). But sometimes I forget to shred it and only delete it via the dustbin. How can I LATER guarantee an APPROPRIATE SHREDDING of that Bytes within my Harddisk an RAM, where the malicious software has been stored? Is there any way on linux? Can I see where it was stored and over | 23:32 |
| enclude | 01:29:17 - enclude: with zeros and bits (SHREDDING). Or do I have to wait until new installed data does that work? Or does defragmenting like processes do the job? Sorry for my long text! | 23:32 |
