| Mr-Potter | Got it | 00:02 |

| Mr-Potter | how do I change the ownership of files on another partition? | 00:02 |
| Spass | Mr-Potter, "chown" command should do the trick, "man chown" | 00:07 |
| Mr-Potter | how do I use it to do that? | 00:07 |
| Mr-Potter | I tried /dev/sda and it said that there is "no such file or directory" | 00:08 |
| Spass | is your /dev/sda partition mounted? | 00:10 |
| Mr-Potter | yes | 00:10 |
| Spass | and what's its mount point? can you share your /etc/fstab and paste it to https://paste.ubuntu.com ? | 00:15 |
| Mr-Potter | Mount point is it's ID | 00:18 |
| Mr-Potter | Good question should be possible | 00:19 |
| Spass | btw, /dev/sda is a device, not a specific partition on that device | 00:19 |
| Mr-Potter | i know | 00:20 |
| Mr-Potter | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/psgzmYyhmm/ | 00:21 |
| Mr-Potter | spass: Thanks it's above | 00:24 |
| Spass | so you want to change the ownership of /home, right? did you read the man pages for "man chown"? I didn't change that myself in the past, so be careful with my advices | 00:26 |
| Spass | I think it should be something like "chown -hR your_username /home" | 00:26 |
| Spass | but why do you want to do that in the first place? that /home partition is owned by a different user now? | 00:27 |
| Spass | (and of course change the "your_username" part of the command) | 00:28 |
| Mr-Potter | yes | 00:29 |
| Mr-Potter | how do I change the mount point | 00:29 |
| Mr-Potter | I think that might be a better idea | 00:29 |
| Mr-Potter | I suspect it is | 00:29 |
| Mr-Potter | no i didnt | 00:31 |
| Spass | sorry, I think I don't fully understand what's the issue and what do you want to achieve exactly | 00:35 |
| Mr-Potter | i want to be able to login again | 00:38 |
| Mr-Potter | i can't login and I suspect a permission issue | 00:38 |
| Mr-Potter | I'm on windows atm by the wya | 00:39 |
| Mr-Potter | *way | 00:39 |
| Spass | can you login in tty1? (Ctrl+Alt+F1) you could check the permissions and ownership of your /home using "ls -lah" and checking the displayed username. did you change your username on a new system and you want to use a home partition owned by a different username before? is that the case? | 00:46 |
| The_Milkman | How can i find File::Compare perl module in bionic repo (apt search?) | 05:24 |
| The_Milkman | Need this https://metacpan.org/pod/File::Compare but don't want to use cpan. | 05:24 |
| ChunkzZ | I installed Xubuntu 18.04 from the ubuntu mini.iso... I ticked the "minimal" install but now there's no option for "updates" like you click it and it updates everything instead of doing it manually. can I somehow install it? if so, what's the command/name? | 18:49 |
| brainwash | ChunkzZ: you mean update-manager? | 19:14 |
| ChunkzZ | no. | 19:15 |
| ChunkzZ | not sure what it's called, I have software & updates but not the actual one to update everything. | 19:15 |
| ChunkzZ | may be called update-manager? | 19:16 |
| ChunkzZ | yes! it was update-manager! thanks brainwash ! | 19:17 |
| brainwash | :) | 19:17 |
| wblackstone | what is a snap? | 20:49 |
| wblackstone | the software app asks for an sso | 20:49 |
| wblackstone | calling the software a snap | 20:49 |
| wblackstone | is this different from using apt | 20:49 |
| Spass | wblackstone, yes it's different than apt, snap is a different package distribution, learn more here - https://snapcraft.io/ | 20:50 |
| Spass | personally I don't use Snaps on my Xubuntu system | 20:51 |
| wblackstone | what is it a more ubiquitous build? | 20:51 |
| wblackstone | hey that voyager 9 was appealing but the xubuntu cd is here so I'm using from it. | 20:52 |
| Spass | snap is a package that contains all the needed dependencies inside itself, and it's containerised | 20:53 |
| Spass | I recommend you to use Synaptic to manage your packages and repositories in GUI | 20:54 |
| wblackstone | spass did somebody look at the injections after quantal | 20:54 |
| wblackstone | nearly everything is interweaved with packages which seem to have nothing to do with it | 20:55 |
| Spass | not sure what you mean exactly | 20:56 |
| wblackstone | the deps | 20:56 |
| wblackstone | spass does xubuntu do citrix | 20:57 |
| Spass | I'm not familiar with citrix | 20:58 |
| wblackstone | spass it was shipped 3rd party with microsoft | 21:04 |
| wblackstone | does it scan for samba shares? | 21:04 |
| wblackstone | speaking of quantal... | 21:05 |
| wblackstone | do you know much about quantum reflex | 21:05 |
| wblackstone | Spass: I'm sitting here avoiding the upgrade because last install was broke by it. | 21:06 |
| wblackstone | Is there something to install only essential security updates for now? | 21:06 |
| * wblackstone goes to check the colon | 21:06 | |
| wblackstone | ipv6 is up hard to tell if it is tx/rx | 21:07 |
| wblackstone | Spass: have an android with a broken touchscreen is there someway to operate it from my xubuntu over adb or remote screen | 21:09 |
| === terminal1 is now known as terminalator | ||
| wblackstone | does this run google earth | 23:38 |
