[00:07] <xubuntu24w> What is the best way to write the 18.04 image to mass storage in Windows 10 right now?
[00:07] <xubuntu24w> I have Cygwin installed, so dd is an option
=== GridCube_ is now known as GridCube
[00:30] <xubuntu24w> UNetbootin it is
[00:30] <Unit193> I thought linux live usb creator was good, but that's been a few years.

[09:53] <Babloyi> is there something in thunar that by default blocks users from changing permissions of regular files?
[09:54] <Babloyi> I made a build of this thing for linux, and when I check the permissions, it says it is executable, but gives the message "Allowing untrusted programs to run presents a security risk to your system"
[09:54] <Babloyi> and I can't even click anything in the Permissions tab of the properties, except to move to the other tabs
[10:01] <Babloyi> -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root are the permissions for the file
[10:01] <Babloyi> but even in the terminal it then says "Permission Denied" when I try running it
[10:07] <Babloyi> nevermind, shifting it to home instead of the separate partition worked
[10:07] <Babloyi> why is executing stuff on the separate partition blocked?
[10:10] <brainwash> Babloyi: ntfs partition?
[10:10] <brainwash> also, can you run it via terminal?
[10:11] <Babloyi> nope
[10:11] <Babloyi> says Permission Denied
[10:11] <Babloyi> how do you tell what sort of partition a partition is?
[10:12] <Babloyi> gparted doesn't come installed by default?
[10:12] <brainwash> I'd think that it does
[10:13] <brainwash> at least it's present in the live session
[10:13] <Babloyi> Command 'gparted' not found, but can be installed with:
[10:13] <Spass> Gparted is only on liveCD, it's not installed by default
[10:13] <Babloyi> weird
[10:13] <Babloyi> is there a way to just check without installing gparted?
[10:14] <brainwash> try the 'mount' command
[12:39] <pubmain> Is there any way to make switching from XFCE to LightDM more fluid?  Especially when locking the screen.  It seems the LightDM login screen, XFCE, and LightDM lock screen all use different resolutions.
[12:45] <brainwash> pubmain: using the open source graphics driver for your GPU should help with that
[12:46] <brainwash> the nvidia driver is known to cause issues with VT switching
[12:46] <pubmain> That sucks
[12:47] <brainwash> other than that, using another screen locker is the way to go
[12:47] <pubmain> I'll probably look into other screen lockers
[12:47] <brainwash> xscreensaver or mate-screensaver/gnome-screensaver
[12:48] <pubmain> I'll give it a shot, thanks brainwash
[12:48] <brainwash> good luck :)
