[02:04] <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
[03:58] <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

[20:33] <Maxis> I have a weird question for you lot
[20:34] <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
[20:35] <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
[20:36] <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.
[20:37] <well_laid_lawn> cheers
[21:11] <TropicalGirl> hi there

[21:13] <TropicalGirl> I am so happy :)
