[07:08] <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)
[09:27] <diplo> Morning all
[09:27] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:33] <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
[09:35] <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
[09:47] <Laney> ._.
[09:54] <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.
[10:21] <Laney> not if it goes back to the sorting office and you then need ID to collect it
[10:32] <SuperMatt> morning 'buntu
[11:58] <David1234_> join #ubuntu-it
[12:08] <SuperMatt> I won't!
[12:15] <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
[12:16] <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?
[12:17] <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?
[12:18] <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)
[12:19] <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?
[12:20] <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
[12:42] <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 :)
[13:23] <NET||abuse> daftykins: :) yeh, i'm a bit restricted with that.
[13:28] <daftykins> love to see them prove they were swapped xD
[13:34] <NET||abuse> haha,
[13:35] <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 :)
[13:41] <daftykins> :D
[14:18] <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
[14:19] <diddledan> easiest is to mount the filesystem in a live environment, and copy the data
[16:53] <NET||abuse> arg,, ok
[18:16] <diddledan> huh? https://twitter.com/attackerman/status/954416571476307969
[19:18] <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
