| elvin | Hi there! I'm trying to figure out one thing regarding a goods delivery in London and I feel stupid since I can't even google the answer. Basically, I'm trying to order some stuff to be delivered to my brother's address in London - do I put my name or his name on the name field in address details form? Does it even matter? What is this name for, anyway? (yes I'm that desperate, asking for | 07:08 |
|---|---|---|
| elvin | an answer at ubuntu channel, hope some of you people are actually from UK) | 07:08 |

| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:27 |
| Laney | that question about a delivery just up there... | 09:33 |
| Laney | is that really a UK specific thing? | 09:33 |
| Laney | surely you put a name on a parcel almost everywhere | 09:33 |
| diplo | I'd have said the same thing Laney | 09:35 |
| diplo | I was going to till I tried typing his name :P | 09:35 |
| diplo | Probably young | 09:35 |
| Laney | ._. | 09:47 |
| zmoylan-pi | it can affect delivery. putting his brothers name might trip credit card services as suspicious. his name should be fine on the package. | 09:54 |
| Laney | not if it goes back to the sorting office and you then need ID to collect it | 10:21 |

| NET||abuse | hey guys, i have a laptop with ubuntu installed (my current work laptop) it's ubuntu 17.10, using LUKS full disk encryption so it's LVM, but otherwise the default way ubuntu sets that up | 12:15 |
| NET||abuse | i have a new laptop i need to transfer my install over to, rather than re-install and copy peicemeal, i was hoping to just image the whole machine with an ubuntu boot usb stick and a big external drive | 12:16 |
| NET||abuse | but will it work with volume id changes between the old and new machine even if i do a whole disk block level copy? | 12:16 |
| NET||abuse | is there a convenient way to get the whole disk copied over using dd or clonezilla or something? | 12:17 |
| NET||abuse | and restored without having to lark about with grub config's or anything/ just restore the full image and go? | 12:17 |
| NET||abuse | i'm switching over because the current laptop has broken audio and ethernet, the new one is the same model (hp elitebook 620 G3) | 12:18 |
| NET||abuse | they wont let me just swap out the disk drive :( corporate asset tagging mess of some sort they're just not willing to let me do | 12:19 |
| NET||abuse | any pointers? | 12:19 |
| zleap | not sure if this helps, I have a few HP mini netbooks, one of my keys recently fell off so I just moved ther hdd to another netbook (same model) and it worked great, got the keyboard fixed and swapped the hdd back over | 12:20 |
| zleap | this was using Lubuntu | 12:20 |
| zleap | the same trick worked with google chrome OS | 12:20 |
| daftykins | NET||abuse: why don't you just transplant the drive? | 12:42 |
| daftykins | oh sorry just read that line | 12:42 |
| daftykins | nope no idea, FDE is a mess :) | 12:42 |
| NET||abuse | daftykins: :) yeh, i'm a bit restricted with that. | 13:23 |
| daftykins | love to see them prove they were swapped xD | 13:28 |
| NET||abuse | haha, | 13:34 |
| NET||abuse | i dont know but they may have actually registerd the serial number of the disk against the laptop asset tag. garantees on their hardware maybe track to disks too, | 13:35 |
| NET||abuse | but then again,,, | 13:35 |
| NET||abuse | I could be giving them way too much credit :) | 13:35 |
| daftykins | :D | 13:41 |
| diddledan | NET||abuse: if they're identical drives then you might be able to dd, but you need the new drive to be larger than the old drive or identical | 14:18 |
| diddledan | easiest is to mount the filesystem in a live environment, and copy the data | 14:19 |
| NET||abuse | arg,, ok | 16:53 |
| diddledan | huh? https://twitter.com/attackerman/status/954416571476307969 | 18:16 |
| zmoylan-pi | he's read the mythical man month and now believes that if he puts 9 mothers at the task it can be done in one month. duh! :-P | 19:18 |
