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