cyberalex4lifeHi guys, I am on Ubuntu Mate Xenial (16.04.3) and I have some issue setting the ssd in fstab. more precisely, / looks like this: 'UUID=e777aaa5-031c-41b9-8082-ffe5f30de7ec /               ext4    errors=remount-ro        0       1'08:45
cyberalex4lifebut if I add noatime the partition becomes read only08:45
gordonjcpmmm08:45
gordonjcpcan you post the fstab entry once you've modified it?08:46
cyberalex4lifeI should be using some service, right, please remind me which that was08:47
gordonjcpno idea08:47
gordonjcppretty sure the options column ought to be "default,noatime,errors=remount-ro"08:47
cyberalex4lifehttps://paste.ubuntu.com/25835143/08:48
cyberalex4lifeDefault root is exactly as I gave you08:48
cyberalex4lifeI'm gonna try what you said08:49
cyberalex4liferebooting...08:50
m4term it's the space in the options column09:01
m4term it's the space in the options column09:07
m4tcyberalex4life:09:07
m4t"defaults,noatime" not "defaults, noatime"09:07
m4tfstab is whitespace delimited09:07
cyberalex4lifem4t, I understand, this must be it, I became a bit rusty since staying on SuSE Leap (where I have been doing this in the graphical install)09:11
m4theh09:11
m4tyeah09:12
cyberalex4lifethanks guys for quick action!09:14
gordonjcpcyberalex4life: to be honest it's probably not really worth setting noatime09:47
gordonjcpcyberalex4life: relatime has been the default for the better part of a decade09:48
* m4t still sets it09:55
cyberalex4lifeSo, using defaults I already have relatime?10:09
m4tyeah. relatime is still a lot of extra iop's though10:13
cyberalex4lifeI have another question mark (?), This is a brand new ADATA SU700 120 GB (3D NAND), and my disks show some undefined smart attributes and a lot of Uncorrectable errors each time different (some times even with minus), see pictures https://www.dropbox.com/sh/23csag5ply468yh/AAA9hXwoh1UbeEg90pSISkRWa?dl=010:16
cyberalex4lifeAlso the Short Self test appears never to end while for the HDD it ends faster10:19
cyberalex4lifeDo you think there's something bad out there (others complained on samsung SSD for example)? Can I fix this in Linux10:24
cyberalex4life?10:24
m4tsmartmontools (maybe not the gui one you're using) relies on a database of drive names/attribute meanings10:25
m4tprobably the program you're using (is it gsmart?) doesn't have that drive in it10:26
m4tyou could do 'apt-get install smartmontools' then try 'smartctl -a /dev/sda' or whichever your drive is10:27
m4tif that still shows wrong attributes then do something like: wget 'https://www.smartmontools.org/export/4571/trunk/smartmontools/drivedb.h'10:27
m4tsudo mv /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h.orig10:28
m4tsudo mv drivedb.h /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h10:28
m4tthen try again with smartctl -a /dev/sda10:28
m4ti actually recently got a new ssd myself, and not even the latest drivedb.h from smartmontools.org had it listed. i ended up running the manufacturer utility in windows, exporting the smart attributes, then manually adding an entry with the attributes to drivedb.h10:30
cyberalex4lifem4t, I understand10:47
jrjYAY - They have fixed the SuperKey for Mate Adv.Menu12:21
jrjFixed on 17.0412:36
alkisgDo you mean that now the windows key opens the (advanced) menu?12:46
jrjalkisg: yes12:46
alkisgNic12:46
alkisgNice12:46
jrjIf you add the Adv.Menu (and remove the standard menu)12:46
jrjThen the default shotcut is SuperKey12:46
jrjIn 16.04 it also says it the same hey - it just do not work12:47
jrjHowever i made a workaround12:47
alkisgDoes the standard menu open with the win key?12:47
jrjnope12:47
jrjit opens (stardard) with ALT+F112:48
alkisgEh. They should use the same keys...12:48
alkisg(both alt+f1 and win...)12:48
jrjOn 16.04 i used dconf-editor to change the value from the NON-Working default of "Super_L" to manually entered "<Primary>Escape"12:48
jrjalkisg: well they dont12:49
alkisgAh, maybe the window manager (marco) intercepts super_l in 16.04...12:49
jrjThe above "hack" on 16.04 opens the adv.menu with CTRL+ESCAPE12:49
jrjalkisg: that might me it - didnt check that12:50
jrjlet me have a look12:50
jrjI can try changing to Compiz and se12:50
jrjThat was not it12:51
jrjIll stick with my CTRL+ESC hotkey until i upgrade to 17.10/18.0412:52
jrjLooking at "the_googles" alot of people have run into this12:53
jrjBut i can live with this12:53
erle-use Gnome®, they said12:56
erle-it's most mature, they said12:56
erle-https://paste.ubuntu.com/25836284/12:56
erle-one is on KDE, to be fair12:57
alkisgInstalling multiple DEs can cause issues12:57
jrjThis was also what i wanted to avoid on my new install12:58
erle-test only started Gnome and only logged in a single time, crash came immediately12:58
jrjSo basically figure out which DE i wanted _before_ reinstalling to avoid having to install more than 112:59
erle-I have to reinstall anyway because I want to switch to btrfs, so I use the opportunity to just test all of them13:00
jrjBut i was lucky - i already liked MATE and had onĺy 1 "issue" on 16.04. That have now been fixed in 17.04 and i have a workaround on 16.0413:00
jrjerle-: sound like sane choice13:00
erle-I will stick with MATE, but I want to know whats up13:00
erle-have not used KDE in ten years13:00
jrjI was also considering testing Ubuntu "Gnome"13:00
jrjbut as the Mate is now "fixed" there is no need for me13:01
jrjThese MANY choises we have is both a blessing and a curse13:01
erle-I like some things about Gnome, but I hate how they cripple the tools like Nautilus and Gedit13:01
erle-I don't even dislike the Shell13:02
jrjHavent even looked into those13:03
gordonjcpI switched to MATE because they ditched Unity13:03
jrjI thought it was Nautilus and Terminator (on Mate) but its Caja and Mate-Terminal13:04
erle-jrj, have you not noticed the differnece?13:11
jrjerle-: nah, for terminal i just hit the shortcut for launcing it, and have only 1 tab open13:12
erle-Terminals are the same13:12
jrjwithin that i run TMUX or SCREEN13:12
erle-but Caja vs. Nautilus?13:12
jrjAnd to be honest - most of my file-handline i do from the command line as well13:12
erle-Last week I had to use Redhat Enterprise Desktop for a few hours, it was really nice13:12
erle-stable and polished13:13
erle-but old13:13
erle-not an option for home computing13:13
jrjerle-: well that is what you get for a corporate desktop13:13
jrjNothing fancy - it just have to work. Even the Firefox on that is a ESR13:13
jrjI actually think - that aside from the WebBrowsing - i could do fine with just a terminal13:14
jrjMy next "testing" would be which editor to use13:17
erle-I got to Gnome because KDE was crashing all the time13:17
erle-2004 or something13:17
jrjPluma (as its default on Mate), Gedit, Atom...13:17
erle-I got to Unity because it was easier to do things keyboard only in 2007 (laptop)13:17
erle-I got to Mate because they abused Nautilus13:17
jrjI started with Linux way back13:19
jrjActually workes for years with FVWM95 as my desktop, then OpenBox ect ect. Then became RHCE, and used a RHEL desktop for a while at work (no problem if you only need a Browser and a terminal)13:20
jrjBut then i wanted to swithc to linux at home, and it bacame to much work to get stuff working. Then came Ubuntu, but i really didnt like Unity, i wanted my the Gnome2 experience ive gotten used to13:21
jrjThen had a Run with Mint, Untill MATE came. Then thought, why run a derivative distro, when i can run the source13:22
erle-I had SuSE/KDE in 2001, Gentoo/Gnome in 2004, Ubuntu/Gnome in 2007 and stuck with Ubuntu13:22
jrjNow I just want to cut the time wasted on continuously switching and testing the many choices13:24
jrjNice to have them - but I think you can easily end up wasting alot of time with miniscule potential gains13:25
jrjGedit looke really nice13:46
jrjlike it alot better than Pluma13:46

cyberalex4lifehello, I will ask probably a well known issues (I think!), why marco on compton does not support alt-tab thumbnails? Is it possible to work?19:56
mate|93246just onboarded ubuntu mate.. issued it an ip over DHCP.. now I am trying to login over ssh.. what is the username and password ?21:19
erle-there are no default users/passwords21:21
mate|93246so I can't ssh as my first method to connect to the pi21:22
mate|93246if thats the case they should do something about that.. now I have to get a screen and keyboard21:23
mate|93246thanks erle22:37
