| niceGuy00 | i want to clone SSD with win7 on it to another SSD using live ubuntu usb how to do it? target SSD is smaller than source SSD | 00:01 |
| niceGuy00 | anyone? | 00:01 |
| willdeberry | @niceGuy00 first idea that comes to mind would be to use dd, but that will do a complete byte for byte duplication | 00:02 |
| niceGuy00 | willdeberry, that i dont want | 00:03 |
| aloo_shu | niceGuy00 first of all, defragment the win disk | 00:03 |
| niceGuy00 | should i resize | 00:03 |
| niceGuy00 | using kde partition edit | 00:03 |
| aloo_shu | after defrag | 00:03 |
| genii | dd_rescue can do sparse images, but there needs to be less data on the partition than space on the smaller drive | 00:04 |
| aloo_shu | tricky. resize will shrink the win partition so that it fits onto 2nd disk | 00:04 |
| aloo_shu | if possible, but resizing has a minimal risk, so you want a backup FIRST | 00:05 |
| aloo_shu | evacuate some important files, defrag, boot win 2 times for ntfs integriy check | 00:06 |
| aloo_shu | then format/partition the new-smaller disk so that there is a partition where the rsesized original partition fits | 00:08 |
| aloo_shu | I don't know the kde tool, gparted can do all this very well and is usually present on live media | 00:10 |
| aloo_shu | gparted would also allow you to clone/copy a partition from a gui | 00:11 |
| tomreyn | dckx_: that's good news :) | 00:11 |
| tomreyn | enjoy your new ubuntusystem then! | 00:11 |
| tomreyn | dckx_: by the way, if your computer is not too old / slow and you don't need to run graphically demanding stuff in Windows then I'd recommend to move the Windows installation into a Virtualbox VM and just boot into Ubuntu all the time. It's a lot more comfortable than dual-booting. | 00:13 |
| tomreyn | And I assume people around here or in #ubuntu-offtopic might help you with the migration (I would). | 00:14 |
| === fornwall is now known as sdfuuu | ||
| dckx_ | tomreyn: thanks for the suggestion, I think I might do what you say, although I already have windwows 10 installed. I'm planning on goin almost 100% ubuntu within the next year or two, so going from dual-booting to a VM sounds like necessary step | 00:21 |
| tomreyn | willdeberry: there is also #launchpad | 00:22 |
| tomreyn | also #ubuntu-devel | 00:22 |
| willdeberry | awesome! much appreciated | 00:23 |
| tomreyn | dckx_: you can convert the existing windows 10 installation into a VM when you feel like it. it's not super easy if you haven't done it before, but it should work (so no need to reinstall). | 00:24 |
| dckx_ | tomreyn: gotta give my daughter a bath, what you say sounds good, will learn more about it | 00:25 |
| tomreyn | depending on how flexible windows is nowadays, you may even be able to run it both as a VM under ubuntu and as a bare metal (dual boot) system, but i never tried that. | 00:25 |
| tomreyn | dckx_: good luck not getting too wet then! here's something you could read up on later https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html | 00:27 |
| === aloo_shu is now known as phoneyboy | ||
| willdeberry | could just interact with the bare metal partition directly if you create the VMWare raw disk image pointed to a specific partition or drive | 00:29 |
| === phoneyboy is now known as aloo_shu | ||
| willdeberry | i've used an entire disk that way in the past, not sure about partitions, but sounds neat :) | 00:29 |

| EpicCyndaquil | is there a way to run apt-get over https? | 05:24 |
| leaftype | EpicCyndaquil, sure thing! https://askubuntu.com/questions/146108/how-to-use-https-with-apt-get | 05:28 |
| leaftype | EpicCyndaquil, basically, just edit the /etc/apt/sources.list to https urls | 05:29 |
| EpicCyndaquil | the official mirror appears to not support https. Can you suggest one that does? | 05:33 |
| leaftype | EpicCyndaquil, it looks like Canonical doesn't have any official ones, however there are https mirrors - https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/3q53kc/list_of_ubuntu_repository_mirrors_available_over/ | 05:37 |
| madmanonmeds | bex: you could in fact delete the swap partition and install there but you will need to make a smaller swap partition | 05:39 |
| leaftype | EpicCyndaquil, though, why do you want https? Everything I'm reading says it's probably not necessary because apt already signs and encrypts. | 05:39 |
| leaftype | EpicCyndaquil, Unless you just want it to be the same sort of blob as any other https traffic, for profiling reasons? | 05:40 |
| EpicCyndaquil | so I'm getting hash sum mismatches when downloading ubuntu packages, even from different mirrors, so I'm thinking my ISP has some kind of weird cache, and hoping https will get around it | 05:44 |
| bex | when i did "update-initramfs -c -k all" i got the following errors: | 05:45 |
| bex | "depmod: error: bad version passed version" | 05:45 |
| bex | "missing /lib/modules/version" | 05:45 |
| bex | "ensure all necessary drivers are built into the linux image" | 05:45 |
| leaftype | ah... | 05:47 |
| madmanonmeds | bex:sorry I can't help | 05:48 |
| bex | ok | 05:48 |
| madmanonmeds | someone else can though so stay | 05:50 |
| EpicCyndaquil | leaftype: so I've tried 3 https hosts so far, and they're all failing... any other step besides adding them to sources.list? | 05:51 |
| leaftype | EpicCyndaquil, no, not according to the link I showed you. However, for hash mismatch I found this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/41605/trouble-downloading-packages-list-due-to-a-hash-sum-mismatch-error/ | 05:53 |
| leaftype | EpicCyndaquil, You said you assumed basically this, did you try deleting /var/lib/apt/lists/* , and then apt-get update? | 05:56 |
| EpicCyndaquil | leaftype: I've tried literally everything on that page | 05:56 |

| EpicCyndaquil | no idea, it's super strange | 06:05 |
| madmanonmeds | bex:what do you think about deleting the swap partition and letting ubuntu install there | 06:34 |
| madmanonmeds | that may not be the best idea but it is the only one I have | 06:35 |
| madmanonmeds | any body else | 06:36 |
| Nokaji | I seem to recall there is a change in 17.04 ... e.g. "In fresh installations of 17.04 we have a swap file instead of a swap partition" | 06:39 |
| madmanonmeds | Nokaji: from the screen shot he is in 16.04 | 06:42 |
| Nokaji | no doubt ... just sharing my singular thought on the subject | 06:44 |
| Nokaji | ... soemthing to do with modern PCs having so much memory that it becomes almost obsolete | 06:44 |
| Nokaji | according to " free -h", I'm using 69M out of an available 15G | 06:46 |
| madmanonmeds | yes the swap partition is almost obsolete, but if is not there and the operating system needs it, it could hang | 06:49 |
| ddellav | yes, imo you should always have like 1g of swap just in case | 06:57 |
| ddellav | because otherwise if your system runs out of ram things just start crashing | 06:58 |
| ddellav | and its easy to add swap without making a partition | 06:58 |
| ddellav | dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap bs=1M count=1024 | 06:58 |
| ddellav | mkswap /swap | 06:58 |
| ddellav | chmod 600 /swap | 06:58 |
| ddellav | swapon /swap | 06:58 |
| ddellav | thats part of a script that i run on every VPS | 06:59 |
| ddellav | since they usually don't have any swap | 06:59 |
| Nokaji | ddellav: I was looking up the possibility of using a swap file instead of swap space on any/earlier version; you beat me to it :) | 07:00 |
| ddellav | afaik that works on pretty much every version of linux | 07:01 |
| ddellav | i've used it since debian 7 days | 07:01 |

| Nokaji | madmanonmeds: I wonderd what the problem was, I just scrolled back - maybe bex needs to do some temporary archiving to free up space | 07:12 |
| madmanonmeds | that is what i asked earlier if you had another drive to install there then copy the files to that drive | 07:13 |
| madmanonmeds | Nokaji: he did an update and things didn't go right | 07:15 |
| madmanonmeds | so it messed up his kernel | 07:16 |
| madmanonmeds | now he is trying to save his system by reinstalling | 07:17 |
| ddellav | ah, yea, in the future i always tell people to use /home as a separate partition to make re-install easy | 07:19 |
| Nokaji | madmanonmeds: Understood; that's exactly what I did last week - I moved stuff from one partition to another and back after, obviously I had some space. He'd need a DVD or USB stick etc but if you guys can't figure it out, I'm just a newb | 07:19 |
| Nokaji | maybe he can archive some stuff to reduce it in size | 07:19 |
| madmanonmeds | but if he don't how archive he can't, I don't know how | 07:21 |
| Bashing-om | bex: madmanonmeds :: check the condition of the kernels ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ' and where the space is consumed ' df -h ; df -i ' ?? | 07:22 |
| Nokaji | archive as in compress/ zip | 07:22 |
| madmanonmeds | I never ran into this condition, I always make some extra partitions | 07:24 |

| ninstaah | tomreyn: oh, I am sorry - that linux-firmware package is installed (latest) and yet not wifi. How do I track down what wifi card is in it? | 11:28 |
| Milonga | Right, sorry, strange wording on my behalf. I'm looking for a solution, yes. X server is not supposed to need an xorg.conf file anymore right? I looked in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and it loaded some generic display settings from the xorg.conf, so I removed it. | 11:30 |
| tomreyn | _BIGSHOT_: sudo lspci -k | grep -A 8 VGA | grep Kernel | head -n1 | 11:31 |
| _BIGSHOT_ | tomreyn: Kernel driver in use: i915 | 11:31 |
| Milonga | With no xorg.conf, the log said it didn't recognise my display or something? | 11:31 |
| tomreyn | ninstaah: sudo lspci -nn | grep -i net; sudo lsusb | grep -i net | 11:32 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: for basic operation with most hardware (suing open source drivers), you do not need to supply xorg.conf, that's correct. | 11:33 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: seems like I only see my normal nic (00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection I218-V [8086:1559] (rev 04) | 11:34 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: which hardware do you have there, and which ubuntu release? | 11:34 |
| _BIGSHOT_ | tomreyn: ? | 11:35 |
| tomreyn | _BIGSHOT_: try https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/intel_graphics#Tear-free_video and (maybe) https://askubuntu.com/questions/764302/screen-tearing-on-kubuntu-16-04-with-intel-drivers | 11:35 |
| tomreyn | _BIGSHOT_: which ubuntu release is it? | 11:36 |
| Milonga | tomreyn: I'm looking at a Samsung SyncMaster 940bw plus, and I'm using ubuntu studio, which might technically not be official? | 11:36 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: ubuntu studio is supported here. which graphics card? | 11:37 |
| _BIGSHOT_ | tomreyn: it is kubuntu 17.04 | 11:37 |
| Milonga | tomreyn: I'm using an Nvidia Quadro 4000 | 11:37 |
| tomreyn | _BIGSHOT_: okay, then i have no furhter suggestions | 11:38 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: this command should tell you which driver is in use right now: sudo lspci -k | grep -A 8 VGA | grep Kernel | head -n1 | 11:40 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: that's probably 'nouveau', but it could also be nvidia. | 11:40 |
| Milonga | I'm using Nvidia's proprietary driver | 11:41 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: which ubuntu release are you on? lsb_release -sd | 11:41 |
| tomreyn | ninstaah: sorry, i missed your reply. did you try botht eh lspic and the lsusb commoands? | 11:42 |
| Milonga | tomreyn: 16.04.3 LTS | 11:42 |
| tomreyn | * both the | 11:42 |
| tomreyn | * both the lspci and the lsusb command | 11:43 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: yeah - it's an Intel NUC. | 11:43 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: sudo lspci -nn | grep -i VGA | 11:43 |
| tomreyn | ninstaah: can you post the output of 'sudo lsusb; sudo lspci -knn' to a pastebin, please? | 11:44 |

| ninstaah | tomreyn: sure, https://pastebin.com/J0gGw8DW | 11:45 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: can you confirm that running "sudo lspci -k | grep -A 8 VGA | grep Kernel | head -n1" returns "Kernel driver in use: nvidia"? | 11:46 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: sorry, http://paste.ubuntu.com/25304217/ | 11:46 |
| Milonga | It sure does | 11:46 |
| Milonga | tomreyn: or rather, "Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau" | 11:48 |
| tomreyn | ninstaah: hmm i'm not sure which one of these would be the wireless really. can you show 'lsmod' as well? and maybe run 'sudo update-pciids' and 'sudo update-usbids' and then re-run the lspci and lsusb commands i provided earlier (and show their outputs again) | 11:51 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: thanks - I am on it :) | 11:52 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: okay i don't think you're using the proprietary drivers then. if you want to use the proprietary ones you can install them using "ubuntu-drivers" on the command line or "additional drivers" from your desktop menu | 11:53 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: the easiest way to get to the graphical configuration utility is maybe to enter this in a terminal: /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk --open-tab=4 | 11:54 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: maybe show a screenshot of what it says there | 11:55 |
| Milonga | right, I'll give it a shot | 11:55 |
| Milonga | tomreyn: by the way, I used Nvidia's own installer for the driver. | 11:56 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: maybe thats why it doesnt work ;) | 11:57 |
| Milonga | :) | 11:57 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: if you want to dig deeper, also look at /var/log/Xorg.*.log (only those files that were written to today, use "ls -l /var/log/Xorg.*.log" to find out) and look for lines saying 'EE' or 'WW' | 11:59 |
| Milonga | tomreyn: The graphical configuration utility said I was using nouveau, so I switched just now to Nvidia's latest | 12:00 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: okay, you'll need to reboot then. if it doesn't work and you end up without a graphical desktop, do you know how to recover? | 12:01 |
| Milonga | tomreyn: I can google it on my phone if it comes to that | 12:01 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: either that or you could connect your phone to the chat and ask, or both. good luck. | 12:02 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: I did what you adviced (here is lsmod: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25304303/ ) - running the lspci and lsusb only gave me the other NIC (cable) | 12:04 |
| tomreyn | ninstaah: hmm you have the iwlwifi kernel module (driver) loaded, this is a wireless driver. can you check which device uses it ("Kernel driver in use : iwfwifi") in "lspci -knn" output? | 12:07 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: It is not loaded | 12:08 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: I did a modprobe on it earlier, that might be the reason its loaded? | 12:08 |
| Milonga | tomreyn: There we go! The resolution is back to normal. Thanks a million! | 12:08 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25304328/ | 12:10 |
| tomreyn | ninstaah: yes, since 'cmoprobe X' loads kernel module 'X' that's probably why it is loaded ;) | 12:10 |
| tomreyn | ninstaah: yes, since 'modprobe X' loads kernel module 'X' that's probably why it is loaded ;) | 12:10 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: right, sorry for misleading you a bit ;) | 12:12 |
| tomreyn | Milonga: welcome ;) | 12:13 |
| tomreyn | ninstaah: that's okay, i could have asked | 12:13 |
| SkyLord12345 | Hello!/window 1 | 12:13 |
| tomreyn | ninstaah: so you ran the update-... commands i pointe dout? | 12:13 |
| ninstaah | yeah, snapshot thingy and usb update | 12:13 |
| tomreyn | ninstaah: can i see the lsusb and lspci -knnv outouts again then? | 12:13 |
| ninstaah | sure sure | 12:14 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25304342/ | 12:14 |
| tomreyn | ninstaah: i'm not sure whether this is the very hardware you have (i bet there are several different intel NUCs with different components requiring different drivers) but the generic hint for a firmware update might be a good one: https://askubuntu.com/questions/651462/wifi-connection-not-working-with-intel-nuc-wireless-ac-7620 | 12:15 |
| tomreyn | i guess your wireless hides behind "00:16.0 Communication controller [0780]: Intel Corporation 8 Series HECI #0 [8086:9c3a] (rev 04)" | 12:17 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: right, but I dont understand what the point of your link is? | 12:18 |
| tomreyn | ninstaah: i'm suggesting to follow the instructions provided there to carry out a firmware upgrade, then reboot, which may help linux detect the right hardware | 12:18 |
| tomreyn | ninstaah: actually, there are no instructions for upgrading the bios there, it just says that you should, sorry | 12:19 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: oh, no problem at all | 12:20 |
| tomreyn | so, yes, other than pointing this out the link was mostly useless | 12:20 |
| ninstaah | The BIOS is updated and this fine little NUC have had CentOS, Proxmox (ubuntu?) and Win8 on it without problems. | 12:21 |
| tomreyn | ninstaah: so wireless worked on centos ? | 12:21 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: I appreciate your efforts | 12:22 |
| ninstaah | Yeah | 12:22 |

| ninstaah | budgie | 12:22 |
| tomreyn | (sorry if i asked before) | 12:22 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: no worries, I just appriciate your help | 12:24 |
| tomreyn | can you try to find out the exact NUC model? | 12:24 |
| tomreyn | that would enable us to check its specifications, which would enable us to identify the correct driver | 12:24 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: D34010WYK | 12:25 |
| ninstaah | no | 12:25 |
| tomreyn | "no"? | 12:25 |
| ninstaah | I will take a screwdriver and check what card I put in the nuc | 12:25 |
| ninstaah | It's not a premade/bundle | 12:25 |
| tomreyn | oh its an addon-card, ok. also, you can check /var/log/syslog for any messages regarding the wifi | 12:26 |
| tomreyn | maybe what you installed there is just not compatible | 12:27 |
| ninstaah | tomreyn: Someone has stolen my wifi, lol! | 12:31 |
| tomreyn | the latest bios version for this discontinued intel product is WYLPT10H.86A version 0045 | 12:31 |
| tomreyn | ninstaah: that might explain why it's not detected by ubuntu | 12:31 |
| tomreyn | maybe try centos again? ;) | 12:31 |
| ninstaah | haha, well It had a wifi card back then | 12:32 |
| ninstaah | It was used for a dev/lab task at work - someone might needed a wifi card for a laptop or whatever | 12:32 |
| tomreyn | i trust you there. so you're using this like an IoT device and leave it unattended in thepublic? | 12:32 |
| tomreyn | i see | 12:33 |
| ninstaah | Oh well, I am very sorry about wasting your time | 12:33 |
| ninstaah | Hopefully I provided you with a good laugh ;) | 12:33 |

| tomreyn | spearman17: you probably want to run 'make' to build the binaries from source code. i would not install this way, though. | 18:19 |

| lordl | Hi! Could you help me with something? I am trying to connect to a SSH server through an executable file written in C. It is using libssh-0.1. The source code has a function from libssh-0.1 named "ssh_getopt" and I have a problem with it. When I try to execute I get this error message: "/usr/sbin/sshd: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/sshd: undefined symbol: ssh_getopt". How can I define that symbol? | 20:19 |
| MonkeyDust | lordl i guess that question is more for a C channel | 20:21 |
| lordl | MonkeyDust, okay. | 20:21 |
| sammyg | do ssh clients support pasting? | 20:24 |
| oerheks | ctrl + shift + V perhaps? | 20:24 |
| oerheks | as in gnome-terminal | 20:24 |
| fraktor | If you middle-click, it should just type that into the terminal, which would work over SSH. (I think.) | 20:26 |
| sammyg | this depends on the client or? | 20:26 |
| oerheks | yes, depends on the client i guess | 20:26 |
| sammyg | never mind, found it | 20:26 |
| sammyg | it's right click | 20:27 |
| oerheks | oke, no short-key? | 20:27 |
| sammyg | no, i'm using putty | 20:28 |
| sammyg | "putty's copy and paste works entirely with the mouse" | 20:28 |
| oerheks | it is good practice to mention putty right away, next time... | 20:29 |
| sammyg | yeah sorry about that, thanks though, oerheks | 20:31 |
| oerheks | have fun! | 20:31 |
| sammyg | is this where i put my web files in? /var/www? | 20:35 |
| sammyg | html, css, js, php, etc? | 20:35 |
| oerheks | Yes, that would be the 1st logical place. | 20:36 |
| Braden` | Hello! I am using LibreOffice 5, and I am having a hard time getting my bullet points to appear the same size. Has anyone ever encountered this problem? I Google'd it (yes, as a verb), and it showed multiple methods of which none worked for me. I would either end up with a bullet too big or too small (default bullets). I need a size inbtetween. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? | 20:56 |
| oerheks | Braden`, you might want to reask in #libreoffice too | 21:04 |
| oerheks | not sure what answer you got, Format>bullets & numbering (menu) should be the place to set that, but i don't see how? | 21:08 |
| oerheks | https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Adding_Bullets | 21:09 |
| [n0mad] | i don't really ever use it but i opened a doc and added a bullet list and they were all the same size | 21:10 |
| oerheks | There was an issue with saving as .odt or .doc , but that is fixed | 21:10 |
| smallfoot- | Why am I left with an old, outdated, insecure web browser? | 21:11 |
| oerheks | the libreoffice guys can surely answer this | 21:11 |
| smallfoot- | I am using Firefox 54 and it contains security vulnerabilites | 21:11 |
| smallfoot- | and Ubuntu have not given me the update to Firefox 55 | 21:11 |
| oerheks | smallfoot-, firefox will be ready, soon.. it is just released, 3 days? | 21:11 |
| smallfoot- | what should do I do now that my Ubuntu system is open to hackers and terrorists? | 21:11 |
| smallfoot- | no its been released August 8 | 21:12 |
| smallfoot- | its been well more than 3 days | 21:12 |
| oerheks | and it is holidaytime, so be patient. ( or join the firefox build team? ) | 21:15 |
| gabrielc | smallfoot-: shut it down and disconnect it from the energy? | 21:16 |
| hggdh | smallfoot-: (1) restrict your usage; (2) disable javascript and java (if enabled); (3) do not go to unknown sites; (4) keep doing that even after upgrade | 21:16 |
| oerheks | or skip FF 55, go straight to 56 :-D | 21:18 |
| oerheks | https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/firefox-next | 21:18 |
| oerheks | hmm lots of updates, chromium and a kernel..4.10.0.32 | 21:24 |

| wombat140 | Hello :-) | 21:47 |
| glitsj16 | Hi wombat | 21:48 |
| wombat140 | I'm having trouble with changing a mouse cursor. Anyone able to help? | 21:48 |
| wombat140 | if you wouldn't mind. | 21:49 |
| oerheks | unity-tweak-tool is a handy tool for that, changing mousecursors and such | 21:50 |
| wombat140 | You need to get a special tool just to change the cursor? :-| | 21:51 |
| oerheks | wombat140, yes? | 21:52 |
| wombat140 | I thought I'd found out how to do it, but it hasn't worked right. :-P | 21:53 |
| oerheks | you *could* do it manually, but that requires logout/login AFAIK, see http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-New-Cursor-Themes-in-Ubuntu-466821.shtml | 21:54 |
| oerheks | or in terminal: sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme | 21:55 |
| oerheks | but that gives no example preview | 21:55 |
| wombat140 | Oh, I'm sorry, I've only just realised that I'm not supposed to be in here. | 21:57 |
| wombat140 | I thought t was for Ubuntu in general. It's hard to see the message from the Join Channel list. | 21:58 |
| wombat140 | probably the answer mightn't even be the same in Zorin anyway. | 22:01 |
| wombat140 | Thanks for trying, anyway! | 22:02 |
| wombat140 | (the trouble was that I did do it manually, by excatly that method, but it's only showing the new cursor when the mouse is on the desktop and sometimes not then - in a window, it goes back to the old one.) | 22:04 |
| wombat140 | (very odd.) | 22:05 |
| glitsj16 | wombat140: probably you need to set the cursor theme for X as well, isn't all that odd.. | 22:06 |
| oerheks | sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme # this should work for you too | 22:07 |
| wombat140 | Ah! I'll try that. I haven't yet understood what themes are, I have to admit. | 22:07 |
| oerheks | try it, you can always cancel it with ctrl + c | 22:08 |
| wombat140 | Is that what ctrl+c does? I noticed it's not how you copy text in the terminal. | 22:09 |
| wombat140 | (excuse ignorance, I've only had Linux since Thursday!) | 22:10 |
| wombat140 | ...Hmm. It's not on the list; neither are a lot of the other folders in /usr/share/icons, although they definitely do contain cursors and I can't see any differnece between them and the ones that do appear. Why might that be? | 22:21 |

| Barones | any linux tool to create topology network diagram? | 22:35 |
| kk4ewt | dia?? | 22:37 |
| kk4ewt | \ | 22:37 |
| nemo | Barones: yeh, what he said | 22:38 |
| nemo | Barones: searched on a whim, and looks like some madman out there used graphviz | 22:39 |
| nemo | https://itsecworks.com/2012/03/16/networking-topology-with-graphviz/ | 22:40 |
| Barones | thanks, I'll check dia out | 22:40 |
| nemo | I've definitely used graphviz for tons of automated graphs, like the insanity that is our interdependencies in Hedgewars | 22:40 |
| nemo | but never thought to try that ☺ | 22:40 |

| wombat140 | Anyone on the cursor themes question? Can update-alternatives only display up to 7 options, or something? | 22:57 |
| oerheks | that command gives all available cursor thems, ask in #zorin? | 22:59 |
| oerheks | zorin has its own issues i guess | 22:59 |
| wombat140 | #ZorinOS has been deserted all day. Just have to wait for someone to reply on their forum, I suppose. Thanks for the help, I've learned something new, anyway! | 23:02 |

| Kiicki | Hi, I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.0.3 and updated everything. I shared my "downloads" folder using samba. I made it writable and readable. I have another PC that runs Windows 10. I try to map the "downloads" folder to my Windows 10 which works, but it's not writable. I cannot edit or add anything. Is there something I forgot to do in Linux or is this a Windows issue? I also made it so everyone can access it | 23:28 |
| Kiicki | with samba. | 23:28 |
| betamarine | hey can anyone read this? | 23:45 |
| Sveta | hi yes betamarine :) | 23:46 |
| betamarine | thanks Sveta ! | 23:46 |
| Sveta | no worries betamarine :) | 23:47 |
| Kiicki | I'm sure that Samba worked flawless before. Like 2 months ago probably. I gave it another shot today and "writable" just doesn't work | 23:49 |
| metalbiker | can anybody tell me why i'm not able to install gnome tweaks yet? i've been trying to install it for a while and it keeps saying that it can't find the repositories. i'm really missing my extensions. | 23:59 |
