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