[01:10] hey all [02:45] oi [02:45] alguem aki [02:45] _ === john is now known as Guest97446 === max is now known as Guest50099 === sergio_ is now known as Guest19029 === el is now known as hel === hel is now known as el [08:45] Hi 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] but if I add noatime the partition becomes read only [08:45] mmm [08:46] can you post the fstab entry once you've modified it? [08:47] I should be using some service, right, please remind me which that was [08:47] no idea [08:47] pretty sure the options column ought to be "default,noatime,errors=remount-ro" [08:48] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25835143/ [08:48] Default root is exactly as I gave you [08:49] I'm gonna try what you said [08:50] rebooting... [09:01] erm it's the space in the options column [09:07] erm it's the space in the options column [09:07] cyberalex4life: [09:07] "defaults,noatime" not "defaults, noatime" [09:07] fstab is whitespace delimited [09:11] m4t, 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] heh [09:12] yeah [09:14] thanks guys for quick action! [09:47] cyberalex4life: to be honest it's probably not really worth setting noatime [09:48] cyberalex4life: relatime has been the default for the better part of a decade [09:55] * m4t still sets it [10:09] So, using defaults I already have relatime? [10:13] yeah. relatime is still a lot of extra iop's though [10:16] I 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=0 [10:19] Also the Short Self test appears never to end while for the HDD it ends faster [10:24] Do you think there's something bad out there (others complained on samsung SSD for example)? Can I fix this in Linux [10:24] ? [10:25] smartmontools (maybe not the gui one you're using) relies on a database of drive names/attribute meanings [10:26] probably the program you're using (is it gsmart?) doesn't have that drive in it [10:27] you could do 'apt-get install smartmontools' then try 'smartctl -a /dev/sda' or whichever your drive is [10:27] if that still shows wrong attributes then do something like: wget 'https://www.smartmontools.org/export/4571/trunk/smartmontools/drivedb.h' [10:28] sudo mv /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h.orig [10:28] sudo mv drivedb.h /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h [10:28] then try again with smartctl -a /dev/sda [10:30] i 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.h [10:47] m4t, I understand [12:21] YAY - They have fixed the SuperKey for Mate Adv.Menu [12:36] Fixed on 17.04 [12:46] Do you mean that now the windows key opens the (advanced) menu? [12:46] alkisg: yes [12:46] Nic [12:46] Nice [12:46] If you add the Adv.Menu (and remove the standard menu) [12:46] Then the default shotcut is SuperKey [12:47] In 16.04 it also says it the same hey - it just do not work [12:47] However i made a workaround [12:47] Does the standard menu open with the win key? [12:47] nope [12:48] it opens (stardard) with ALT+F1 [12:48] Eh. They should use the same keys... [12:48] (both alt+f1 and win...) [12:48] On 16.04 i used dconf-editor to change the value from the NON-Working default of "Super_L" to manually entered "Escape" [12:49] alkisg: well they dont [12:49] Ah, maybe the window manager (marco) intercepts super_l in 16.04... [12:49] The above "hack" on 16.04 opens the adv.menu with CTRL+ESCAPE [12:50] alkisg: that might me it - didnt check that [12:50] let me have a look [12:50] I can try changing to Compiz and se [12:51] That was not it [12:52] Ill stick with my CTRL+ESC hotkey until i upgrade to 17.10/18.04 [12:53] Looking at "the_googles" alot of people have run into this [12:53] But i can live with this [12:56] use Gnome®, they said [12:56] it's most mature, they said [12:56] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25836284/ [12:57] one is on KDE, to be fair [12:57] Installing multiple DEs can cause issues [12:58] This was also what i wanted to avoid on my new install [12:58] test only started Gnome and only logged in a single time, crash came immediately [12:59] So basically figure out which DE i wanted _before_ reinstalling to avoid having to install more than 1 [13:00] I have to reinstall anyway because I want to switch to btrfs, so I use the opportunity to just test all of them [13:00] But 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 16.04 [13:00] erle-: sound like sane choice [13:00] I will stick with MATE, but I want to know whats up [13:00] have not used KDE in ten years [13:00] I was also considering testing Ubuntu "Gnome" [13:01] but as the Mate is now "fixed" there is no need for me [13:01] These MANY choises we have is both a blessing and a curse [13:01] I like some things about Gnome, but I hate how they cripple the tools like Nautilus and Gedit [13:02] I don't even dislike the Shell [13:03] Havent even looked into those [13:03] I switched to MATE because they ditched Unity [13:04] I thought it was Nautilus and Terminator (on Mate) but its Caja and Mate-Terminal [13:11] jrj, have you not noticed the differnece? [13:12] erle-: nah, for terminal i just hit the shortcut for launcing it, and have only 1 tab open [13:12] Terminals are the same [13:12] within that i run TMUX or SCREEN [13:12] but Caja vs. Nautilus? [13:12] And to be honest - most of my file-handline i do from the command line as well [13:12] Last week I had to use Redhat Enterprise Desktop for a few hours, it was really nice [13:13] stable and polished [13:13] but old [13:13] not an option for home computing [13:13] erle-: well that is what you get for a corporate desktop [13:13] Nothing fancy - it just have to work. Even the Firefox on that is a ESR [13:14] I actually think - that aside from the WebBrowsing - i could do fine with just a terminal [13:17] My next "testing" would be which editor to use [13:17] I got to Gnome because KDE was crashing all the time [13:17] 2004 or something [13:17] Pluma (as its default on Mate), Gedit, Atom... [13:17] I got to Unity because it was easier to do things keyboard only in 2007 (laptop) [13:17] I got to Mate because they abused Nautilus [13:19] I started with Linux way back [13:20] Actually 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) [13:21] But 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 to [13:22] Then had a Run with Mint, Untill MATE came. Then thought, why run a derivative distro, when i can run the source [13:22] I had SuSE/KDE in 2001, Gentoo/Gnome in 2004, Ubuntu/Gnome in 2007 and stuck with Ubuntu [13:24] Now I just want to cut the time wasted on continuously switching and testing the many choices [13:25] Nice to have them - but I think you can easily end up wasting alot of time with miniscule potential gains [13:46] Gedit looke really nice [13:46] like it alot better than Pluma [14:40] привет [14:50] !ru | sergej [14:50] sergej: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [16:45] rt [19:56] hello, 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? [21:19] just onboarded ubuntu mate.. issued it an ip over DHCP.. now I am trying to login over ssh.. what is the username and password ? [21:21] there are no default users/passwords [21:22] so I can't ssh as my first method to connect to the pi [21:23] if thats the case they should do something about that.. now I have to get a screen and keyboard [22:37] thanks erle
