| ahiddenwaffle | So, I installed xubuntu on a chromebook, which has a really really small SSD (only 16GB) built in to the motherboard sadly, and hooked up one of my larger SSD's to the chromebook via usb, how do I get things like apt to install my packages on the larger SSD I have connected via usb? the smaller built in one is set as / and the one i have hooked up is mounted to /ssd | 02:04 |

| spooky_ | hello... I did a sudo apt-get update earlier and upgraded some xfce4 packages on my Xubuntu 17.01 install. The first time I booted post update, when I log in to my regular user my xfce panels and whisker menu do not load... when I try to log into root I get an error that states: /root/.profile: mesg: ttyname failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device | 03:58 |
| spooky_ | sorry that's a 17.10 install | 03:58 |

| Maxis | I have a weird question for you lot | 20:33 |
| Maxis | I'm looking for a file | 20:34 |
| Maxis | a text file | 20:34 |
| Maxis | I know something that is within that text file itself | 20:34 |
| Maxis | a line | 20:34 |
| Maxis | but I don't know what the file is called | 20:34 |
| Maxis | is there any way I can search through the files with that string of data? | 20:35 |
| Maxis | too search through a file by its contents | 20:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | Maxis: you can use grep to check all files in a directory | 20:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | grep -r search_word ./directory | 20:36 |
| Maxis | Thanks for that, well_laid_lawn. I'll look at grep usage notes for a bit. | 20:36 |
| well_laid_lawn | cheers | 20:37 |
