MJCDHey11:19
volodyahi, i have gotten myself a new ssd, and i've installed xubuntu on it, my old installation is on the other drive, and i wanted to move relevant bits from it, but i am unable to mount it. my guess is that it has to do with the label 'xubuntu-vg' that is applied to the drive somewhere, but i cannot figure out how to change that label (i don't want to "play around" fearing that i will lose something)11:19
MJCDwow that's a long message11:19
MJCDvolodya, labels dont really mean anything, they're just metadata11:19
MJCDjust check out /dev/11:20
volodyai doubt that in this case. seeing that /dev/mapper uses them to populate the drives11:20
MJCDit will be like sda[...]11:20
volodyaMJCD, did you actually read what i wrote?11:21
volodyaok... perhaps i wasn't clear enough11:21
Unit193Sounds more likely that you used LVM and need to use kpartx to activate it.11:21
volodyaUnit193, i don't think that would work, since it will try to activate it using the label 'xubuntu--vg-root'11:22
volodyaand that label is already taken11:23
Unit193It named them differently, but last time I messed with kpartx to activate, it was on CentOS.11:24
Unit193(did /dev/mapper/vg=Volnamep[1-3])11:24
volodyaok, i'm going to play around11:29
Unit193(Don't you just want to lvrename?)11:30
volodyai cannot figure out, i may need dmsetup rename11:31
MJCDanyways I just came because I have a problem. I go to github, I download a repo as a zip and xubuntu displays it as a zip with a padlock on it12:16
MJCDand the archive manager fails to open or work with it12:16
MJCDworks fine in fileroller12:16
MJCDI may file an issue for that12:18
MJCDsince it should be able to open a basic zip lol12:19
MJCDa simpler question12:19
MJCDI just want to enable gui login for root12:19
MJCDand yes I know its a terrible idea12:20
MJCDetc etc12:20
MJCDahh I just tried as Other.. from the login screen after doing sudo passwd12:36
MJCDit is not a happy camper12:36
MJCDoh, it appears to work past that error though...12:37
MJCDoh well, appears solved enough for now to just have a screen with nothing but root terminals haha12:43
MJCDbut I hope some contributor saw this12:44
MJCDpeace12:44
