=== patr0clus is now known as s3nd1v0g1us [00:36] Hello all [00:37] can I have the ubuntu installer on a separate partition in a usb drive so I can continue to use it normally? [00:37] How do I open the drivers menu on the latest very of unbuntu [00:38] My install didn't recognise my WiFi card [00:38] try lsmod [00:39] linux doesn't really have drivers in the same way as windows. instead it has kernel modules [00:39] Did that what next [00:42] I read a thing whare they said it was under system setting but I can't find it [00:42] is the card listed under lshw [00:45] Yes [00:45] But Ubuntu acts if its not thare [00:48] Nshir [00:53] So I'm using debsums to find packages that are broken... a LOT of packages have missing files [00:53] But I hadn't run into issues until today, when I turned off my VM to copy the VDMK to an external HDD [00:54] Now that i've done that, I can't start the VM successfully - X starts, but it fails when loading MATE due to an issue loading gnome/mate settings [00:54] Has anyone run into this? I'd really appreciate a hand here, rebuilding this VM from scratch (vagrant) takes hours and I'd lose my data [00:57] eletious: what vm software [00:57] virtualbox [00:58] running it on both a Windows host and a Solus host, I get the same issue [00:58] I'm thinking that something happened before I shutdown the VM (to copy it cleanly) === yort is now known as troy [01:03] the error I get in .xsession_errors is `mate-session[1855]: WARNING: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SessionManager [01:04] Does anyone here use 'xdg-open' or something comparable to it? I'd like to replicate windows/macosx-like ability to open some file from the terminal using the default associated app for it. But with xdg-open, it has the limitation of always opening it with a new instance of the associated app. For example, if you ran 'xdg-open world-domination.txt', it would open a NEW instance of gedit for it, even if gedit was already open wit === sm0rux_ is now known as sm0rux [01:10] is there at least a way for me to stop X and MATE, and maybe start something lighter (i3 or openbox) that I can configure reliably? [01:10] Not sure which processes to kill without leaving a bunch of orphans [01:21] if anyone's interested i figured it out.. i won't use gedit anymore [01:21] geany ftw [01:22] yeah Geany's pretty nice [01:24] eletious: does the vm boot on the host it came from === OhPie is now known as Skybot [01:31] cryptodan_mobile: nope, that's why I think it's something that happened before or during shutdown [01:32] Any snapshots [01:33] nope [01:33] I wasn't expecting a failure like this [01:34] Much less from just shutting down the VM normally [01:34] Maybe a failed update can you reach a tty [01:35] yeah. I need to run updates, but I ran debsums to check if any packages were broken and reinstalled those [01:35] since it's a vagrant VM i think a lot of files were removed to decrease box size [01:35] That may have been the cause [01:35] That said, nothing should be updating automatically, so I don't know why an update would cause this [01:36] and I haven't run apt update/upgrade in weeks, without any issues [01:36] reinstalling missing files also didn't fix the problem, so it doesn't live there... [01:37] let me finish running this group of specs, then I'll try an update [01:37] Just worried that it might compound the problem (if one thing is borked, and then I change a ton of other things, what could go wrong) [01:48] eletious: create a new user from tty and login that way after reboot [01:49] That presents a new problem - the system doesn't boot into a login manager, it just goes straight into MATE. Maybe I could edit xinitrc... [01:50] So no login screen? [01:51] no login screen. I think the only way for me to fix this (outside of fixing the root issue) is to kill the running X on tty7, then run startx (which should run xinitrc from home rather than etc) and boot a WM from there [01:51] not boot, but *start a wm from there [01:51] Are you using mdm, gdm, lightdm, or other [01:51] unfortunately, i'm not sure which X process is the parent. How can I tell? [01:52] Like I said, I've never seen the DM here, so I don't know that there is one. Probably lightdm though [01:52] actually, let me check the vagrantfile to see if there even _is_ a DM [01:53] So run this "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" [01:54] yep, it's lightdm. Let me try it after this update is done [02:05] cryptodan_mobile: no dice, on either account [02:05] updated and ran dpkg-reconfigure [02:06] let me try `dpkg-reconfigure mate-desktop` === capella is now known as capella|away [02:24] dpkg-reconfigure mate-desktop should work right? I get no output [02:27] yeah, that didn't work either... [02:29] when i do apt or apt-get update, where does it get the arch type ? on my ppc64, it tries to fetch i386 repositories and i can't figure out where to fix it [02:29] eletious: ' echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ' ? [02:29] it's blank :/ [02:30] eletious: Then I guess there is no Desktop started . [02:30] ubuntu 18.10 wants to autoremove cryptsetup and other related packages, but I rely on them for full disk encryption. [02:30] right, because MATE fails on startup [02:30] So X is running, but MATE failed, and lightdm tries to autologin so I can't get into a gui to fix it [02:31] it's just a blank X session where I can't do anything [02:33] Eletious Try this "sudo apt-get install --reinstall lightdm lightdm-settings slick-greeter" [02:34] eletious: Not to hot on GUI troubleshooting, But, - lighten ? is it running ' systemctl status display-manager ' ? [02:35] yep, status is active-running [02:35] just tried, let me reboot cryptodan_mobile [02:36] cryptodan_mobile: no luck :( [02:37] Out of ideas short of a reinstall unless others have more input [02:38] How can I tell which X process is the toplevel X process? I can kill it and all it's children, then restart X and run something else [02:43] HI not sure if this is the rigth place to ask this: I am looking for a solution to be able to remotely power on or power off hardwars running Ubunut. [02:43] eletious, you can also, from console using sudo do; "init 3" and then "init 5" - without the quotes [02:43] http://l.co.ve/loveteenpusa012653 [02:43] wait, do the old init aliases still work? I thought that died with sysVinit [02:43] yup [02:44] compability for old farts like myself ;) [02:44] Pardon my french [02:45] now I'm getting a new mate error - could not connect to session bus [02:46] http://l.co.ve/loveteenpusa012653 [02:46] Maybe time to apt-get install --reinstall mate-desktop [02:48] I did a dpkg-reconfigure mate-desktop, I'll try it with apt [02:51] Gah! nothing :( === nauticalnexus is now known as rb25girl [03:15] i couldn't even kill Xorg with htop... what the heck [03:15] eletious: that can happen if it's a zombie process or stuck in a system call. [03:16] OR, it catches the signal. [03:16] or lacking permissions. [03:22] :{ [03:22] I won't be able to troubleshoot this anymore tonight, unfortunately - guess i'm getting work done from tty1 [03:28] eletious: doesn't 'systemctl stop lightdm' stop the dm and x with it? [03:28] it does! THANK YOU! [03:29] yw [03:40] How do I disable gdm in 18.10? [03:41] * colemickens I guess this works: sudo systemctl isolate multi-user.target [04:05] Running 18.04 and the subversion and mercurial packages are reported as having no installation candiate [04:05] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/C5zcCPSKHw/ [04:05] What do I do here? [04:10] !info subversion bionic [04:10] subversion (source: subversion): Advanced version control system. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9.7-4ubuntu1 (bionic), package size 824 kB, installed size 4619 kB [04:10] Disconsented: have you activated the universe repo? [04:11] nope [04:11] 'sudo add-apt-repository universe' [04:12] thats got it cheers [04:12] np === justache is now known as justache[6] === justache[6] is now known as justache === white_magic_ is now known as white_magic [05:18] I've disabled gdm for a dedicated xorg program. Now when I boot I get a grey box until the program loads. Is there a way to have some sort of splash scren (Or even the loading indicator) on boot? [05:37] does anyone know.. how to set delay on "Konversation" before automatic join channel? (let allow nick authentication first) [05:55] RNM: https://userbase.kde.org/Konversation/Configuring_SASL_authentication - then no delay is needed. [06:15] thx krytarik [07:12] any support for hooks like https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Hooks in apt? [07:18] Hi guys, I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 and did some updates yesterday (through apt) and now my daisy chaining is not working anymore. [07:18] I created an askubuntu thread yesterday, but got no answers, so I'm trying it here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1090239/daisy-chaining-not-working-anymore-after-running-update [07:19] any hooks in apt [07:20] i need hooks [07:22] Hey guys, i'm do a fresh install of ubuntu server 18.04.1 and when I get to the network part, I manually assign my ip however, I get this error: 216.218.189.40 is not contained in 255.255.255.0/24 [07:23] this is driving me insane. === Class7_ is now known as Class7 [07:30] what's the current solution to updatea boot partition on vfat? https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/208073/dpkg-replacing-files-on-a-fat-filesystem [07:32] ah there is none since the bug is still open? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1578863 [07:32] Launchpad bug 1578863 in dpkg (Ubuntu) "unable to make backup link of before installing new version: Operation not permitted" [Undecided,Confirmed] [07:35] omfg. imma kill something [07:35] lol [08:42] Hello everyone ! Copying to a USB stick hangs at 99% . I am on Ubuntu 18.04 . Is there a way I can see disk usage with htop? [08:43] does dmesg -T say anything related? [08:43] tarzeau, you re referring to my question ? [08:48] afx_: "df -h" shows disk usage [08:48] afx_: yes [08:55] are you looking for something like iotop? [09:37] hi. using nodesource for nodejs, I got a 404 every time I do `apt update`. It seems for repo for node_8.x is not there anymore for cosmi/18.10. But that is a (node) LTS and still active. So why has it been dropped ? [09:37] afx_: `vmstat 1` could help or similar tools like `dstat` [09:37] 1 [09:37] Dropbox is ending support for all filesystems but Ext4. I am on LUKS because I think that's the disk encryption which works out of the box on Ubuntu. Are there alternatives? [09:37] hi theredoes gnome has some kind of skel?(i mean some config file where i can set up defaults for newly created users) [09:38] platzhirsch: I was thinking ext4 on LUKS was gonna work for dropbox past 7th of nov. Am I worng ? [09:39] s/was/will [09:39] platzhirsch: why would dropbox care about the filesystem in the slightest? it has to go through the kernel VFS just like everything else. Also, isn't LUKS a block-layer thing upon which you add filesystems afterwards? [09:39] platzhirsch: Yeah, the LUKS layer shouldn't matter at all. [09:40] drop dropbox [09:40] Then maybe I am confusing something, but it tells me my file system isn't supported anymore [09:40] JimBuntu: what do you use ? [09:40] nextcloud, solsTiCe [09:41] hi [09:41] but yeah.... https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/08/14/dropbox_encrypted_linux_support/ [09:41] I have a small HP microserver which i use for a nas and I’m curious about wake on lan. is there actual any benefit once the system has ‘waked’? as in, can it be configured to go into a low power/dormant mode as part of the same feature/software? Or is it literally just the same as pressing your power switch but with a network packet? [09:41] so I could use Ext4 and LUKS on top of it? [09:42] andywww, same as pressing power. But you can configure how it winds up after all powerons [09:42] platzhirsch: LUKS is block layer. [09:42] andywww: basically same as poking a wakeup button on your keyboard [09:42] platzhirsch: Technically you can use a file stored in ext4 as a LUKS device but ... [09:43] platzhirsch: that's not what you're looking for. [09:43] andywww: wake-on-lan (WOL) allow you to power up a powered-down machine. it is completly powered down. only the network card is slightly powered I guess [09:43] so the process of putting the machine into a sleep mode would be managed outside of the WOL bios stuff? [09:43] vlt: what am I looking for? It sounds like that's my only choice if I want to continue using Dropbox? [09:44] you’d do that with a cron job or something? [09:44] platzhirsch: Do you use ext4 now? [09:44] platzhirsch: If yes, you don't need to change anything. [09:44] platzhirsch: did you read the article ? " It would be accurate to say that Dropbox will not support ecryptfs, however it will support full disk encryption." [09:45] andywww: yeah, you'd fire up suspend2 or echo mem > /sys/power/state or poweroff or whatever, then WOL can wake you back up again [09:46] trying to figure out my file system catually [09:46] solsTiCe: From the article: Another response pointed out that users might not have an option about their filesystem: “I'm running LUKS [...] on top of EXT4” o_O [09:47] okay great thanks for the info people [09:47] vlt: running df -Th | grep "^/dev" I see: sqashfs, ext2, vfat and ext4 [09:47] vlt: yeah. there is a problem there [09:48] Without LUKS I have an easier time reading the device info but wiht the mapping I get easily confused [09:48] Does Ubuntu Budgie count as an official flavour? [09:49] platzhirsch: what device info ? how do you read tose infos ? [09:49] solsTiCe: with df -Th | grep "^/dev" [09:50] platzhirsch: What about `df -Th your_dropbox_folder`? [09:50] encryptfs [09:50] ah.. cryptfs is not supported, but Dropbox will continue to sync with supported file systems that are encrypted via full disk encryption (e.g. LUKS) [09:50] That's not ext4, right. (But neither LUKS.) [09:50] okay, that means I would need to remove the home folder encryption [09:50] and just use the disk encryption [09:51] platzhirsch: you could try dfc command [09:51] I forgot that I use both [09:52] Is it a known bug with Ubuntu 18.04 where input languages don't work correctly? [09:54] removing the home encryption will be fiddly, too [09:56] oh man thats user unfriendly [09:57] DerSandmann: what do you mean by input language doesn't work correctly [09:58] Ah, Im sorry - It works, just very user unintuitive. I had to install the language with language and input - Then go through and manually set up ibus [09:59] like this entire screen does nothing [09:59] https://i.imgur.com/ZHksDAy.png [10:00] rather clean, normal install of ubuntu as well? Maybe thats to be expected [10:04] platzhirsch: well I don't see what confuses you in the ouput of your df command. Just try may be `df -Th | grep "^/dev"|grep -v squashfs` [10:05] solsTiCe: no it's all good. I wasn't aware that my home directory uses a different file system [10:09] realized I can really drop the home encryption, it doesn't make sense to have disk and home encryption [10:09] I forgot that home encryption isn't active if your screen is just locked [10:17] hello all im getting the following during each boot and was hoping someone can explain to me what needs repair thank you for your input [10:17] https://pastebin.com/Ukrh67MA [11:11] lotus|NUC: amdgpu issue... wont boot from live-usb either https://pasteboard.co/HLTUQUA.jpg [11:11] Hello guys, just jumping in to report a weird incident that happened today, on my laptop running Ubuntu 18.04 [11:14] yesterday night I shutdown my laptop normally, and today when I tried to turn it on, it hanged at the ubuntu logo, i waited for like 10+mins but it didnt load up. i have a SSD so it usually loads within 3 seconds. [11:15] I pressed the poweroff button and tried to turn it back on, it gave me this fsck error.. i entered the comment "fsck -y /dev/sda5" where my linux system is installed [11:16] what causes the "stop job is running" to happen when I turn off my PC? then there's a 10 minute timer [11:17] after that i typed in "reboot" and the system rebooted, when it loaded, i went to the desktop and now i cant run any snap apps. how can i get logs about that? the only thing i'm seeing "if i try to run the snap apps from terminal" let's say visualcode? '/snap/vscode/64/usr/share/code/bin/code: line 35: /snap/vscode/64/usr/share/code/bin/../code: No such file or directory' [11:17] same applies on the rest of the snap apps [11:17] Hello guys : when you found like a critical vuln in ubuntu and even applicable to debian, where are you suppose to disclose it ? :) [11:18] like whatsdesk, rocket.chat... i think all electron based apps stopped working just of a sudden [11:19] also note that when i try to access /snap, and do "sudo rm -rf whatsdesk" let's say? it gives me an error saying that the directory is in read-only attribute === SimonNL is now known as _SimonNL [11:23] how can i findout if an ubuntu vm is server or desktop version? [11:24] iosys, lsb_release -a === _SimonNL is now known as SimonNL [11:24] Mathisen, no that doesnt show server or desktop [11:25] iosys, because it's the "same" thing [11:25] tachikomas, what? [11:25] they are not same thing man, i want to know which is dekstio with ui stuff and one is server [11:29] iosys, your "server os", is basically the same as a desktop os without xorg and all the packages, and a little bit of custom. [11:29] ok [11:29] iosys, he is correct you can have whatever installed on both.. they can both workm as desktop or server [11:29] tachikomas, what you are saying is true, but doesnt answering my question [11:30] but they are basically the same thing. I would make a script who look into dpkg and grep any de [11:30] ok [11:30] i have ubuntu 18.04 server with vmware workstation pro 14, im getting this erroe libXi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [11:30] something like dpkg -l | grep gnome and look at the return of the command. [11:32] Typically you install using the meta-packages, so you'd grep for something like dpkg --get-selections|grep ubuntu-server [11:32] or ubuntu-desktop [11:32] but you could still install ubuntu-server metapackage and pull in all packages used by ubuntu-desktop without using that meta-package so... [11:33] or maybe just check for current user if it has Desktop Donwloads etc... directories [11:34] hateball, thats why, i think in this case looking for Desktop Env is maybe a bit more accurate (even if you could install a DE on your "server"). [11:35] anyone here familiar with libXi.so.6 problem? [11:37] hello guys. where's exactly the bootloader file located, so I can remove the "nomodset" from the boot line? [11:37] hi guys [11:37] can i ask here about linux commands? [11:38] iosys, did you look if you have the lib on your system ? [11:38] with this lib, no. But with this kind of problem... yeah.

Currently using proprietary , but open source having newer update version . [12:43] Which one I should install ? can I switch from proprietary to open source ? [12:49] nbusrone: if you have an nvidia card, its always reccomended to install the nvidia drivers [12:49] nbusrone: ubuntu-drivers list to see whats available for your card [12:52] lotus|NUC : using nvidia card but there are open source and proprietary ? currently on proprietary.Isi t fine just isntall open source for latest update ? [12:53] you will have more perf. with the propriatary [12:53] nbusrone: the proprietary drivers are created/released by the vendor (Nvidia) while the open source drivers are from the open source community and AFAIK, were created by reverse engineering. [12:55] leftyfb : I know about it but which one do you suggest to get update ? will it crash if switch them ? [12:56] nbusrone: switching drivers is possible with additional drivers (software&sources) [12:56] leftyfb : The reason I wanted to update was I am having screen tearing even watching youtube. [12:56] nbusrone: I would stick with the proprietary drivers. They usually have better performance [12:57] nbusrone: could you tell us wich nvidia driver version you are currently using? === WoC- is now known as WoC [12:57] lotus|NUC : 381.22 [12:57] lotus|NUC: you go my last message regaarding amdgpu in live-usb?

[13:24] lotus|NUC : will update them tomorrow after back , will let you know then. [13:46] Howdy all [13:52] hi :) [13:55] I'm trying to use a casper-rw file for persistence with xenial 16.04.3 amd64. the casper-rw is ext4 with a file "format" and folders "work", "upper", "lost+found". when I boot with that it complains something close to "/cow specified as overlayfs but no support found" and drops into initramfs. when I rename the "format" file, and make symlinks to upper/* in the top level directory, it detects accepts it as aufs instead of overlayfs. is [13:55] there a way to support overlayfs the same as in bionic? === dbugger_ is now known as Dbugger === Tara_d is now known as Tara [14:33] * ketchup [14:33] * ketchup [14:33] * ketchup [14:33] * ketchup [14:33] * ketchup [14:33] * ketchup [14:33] * ketchup [14:52] when nvme is rated 3GBps and if it would use sata interface,wouldnt that bottlneck at 6gbps sata limit [14:53] well as you say, the limit is 6 , and your device is at 3 ... [14:54] no device is gigabyte per sec and satat is gigabit_ [14:55] big letters equals bytes not bits no? [15:00] Hi, How would I mount an nfs share so that no matter what system it is mounted on, the files and directories are mapped to the user "foo"? [15:01] conall: by having the same user everywhere with the same user id, group id? [15:01] conall: read up on sticky bits... they would have to be set on the host directory [15:07] how do I bash one off [15:07] lol [15:08] lazerlemon: only ubuntu support issues here please [15:08] yes [15:08] so [15:08] in ubuntu [15:08] I have a problem, how to open terminal [15:08] linux newbie here [15:09] but I expect everyone will go easy on me [15:09] lazerlemon: hold your mouse and hover over the terminal icon and left mouse click it [15:09] Hi! Where are my core files? [15:09] where is the terminal icon [15:09] I have: sysctl kernel.core_pattern --> kernel.core_pattern = |/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %P %u %g %s %t 9223372036854775808 %e [15:09] But I can't find them. [15:09] It says: Illegal instruction (core dumped) [15:10] i think i found it [15:11] now it says settings [15:13] lazerlemon: I would recommend you spend some time exploring ubuntu on your own. We're happy to answer questions, but you need to become familiar with the desktop. Since none of us here can see your desktop, we don't know what you are seeing and it is very difficult to direct you on how to find things [15:13] ok [15:13] so I clicked some disk icon in settings [15:13] !manual | lazerlemon [15:13] lazerlemon: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [15:13] and then a bunch of other stuff [15:14] now it says 'formatting' [15:14] so I think that means I can open terminal soon [15:15] lazerlemon: please dont use this channel for describing every step you do, only ubuntu questions here [15:16] what is ubuntu [15:16] Where are my core files? [15:16] I eated those [15:17] lazerlemon: stop it please, your attitude will get you banned like this [15:17] Alternatively, you could concentrate on my question? [15:18] floppy! (labrador) get away from that shotgun! *boom* OH NOO I SHOT FLOPPED ASSHOLE OFF [15:18] !ops | lazerlemon bad news [15:18] lazerlemon bad news: Help! Channel emergency!

Ubuntu changed that! where does it put them? [15:19] !patience | ogamita [15:19] ogamita: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ [15:22] ok, found. previously it didn't work, but the configuration has changed and now it does. [15:25] there are like three services in ubuntu that can be intercepting core files: systemd-coredumpd, apport, and whoopse [15:26] mgedmin: ogamita already left [15:27] good for them [15:28] but now I'm wondering if whoopise and apport are cooperating somehow? === capella|away is now known as capella === capella is now known as capella]Lurks === daniel is now known as Guest11675 [15:30] apport captures them, whoopsie uploads them? === JanC_ is now known as JanC [15:44] If I want to measure execution time, is "time ./foo" in the terminal a good way to do it? I'm on Ubuntu [15:44] For a C-program [15:44] hi am at a loss and i need help, i had a degraded raid 5 that when i added a new hdd back another one kicked out and the new hdd was added as spare and from raid 5 went to raid 0 [15:45] trying to restore superblock on the kicked out /dev/sdb1 for almost 1h now without success [15:45] any help? [15:45] majest1c: yes i think so. if it's not interactive? [15:46] hello [15:46] tarzeau: Well I get different system times though, for each run I get different e.g. "0,00s", "0,001s" "0,001s", "0,004s" etc [15:46] which group to put user into in order to allow for disk mount? [15:46] I have: disk cdrom lpadmin [15:46] is adm also required? [15:46] /dev/sdb1 etc show as root:disk [15:46] guys how can i copy all files from directory and subdir in a new folder? thanks [15:47] majest1c: other system activities can influence execution time. If another process is writing to the drive when your application runs, it may have to wait for resources to unlock [15:47] (mounting in lxde, via pcmanfm, asks for another user's (in sudoers) creds) [15:47] calimero_82: using rsync -av src/ dest/ ? [15:47] Ntemis, have no experience with raid myself, but I believe TestDisk can recover a Superblock, have you tried that? [15:47] pragmaticenigma: So the best thing to test this is by closing all applications? [15:48] majest1c: no, there are still system level actions that will affect the time. === coffeeguy is now known as mypoopdontstink [15:49] pragmaticenigma: Then basically "time" is a bad way to measure execution times [15:49] majest1c: when you look at stats online, they are always the average of a large number of runs === mypoopdontstink is now known as coffeeguy [15:49] majest1c: You have to use a scientific approach. You can't just take one measurement and call it good. [15:50] pragmaticenigma: Sure I can do it a number of times then get an average, but if the average includes time spent on something else than executing my code then that number will be worthless [15:50] calimero_82, cp -R /home/user/files /home/user/target/ [15:51] tarzeau, the input folder is called backphoto the output is called nuovo3 so rsync -av backphoto/ nuovo3/ ? [15:51] majest1c: This is no longer a support question and moving towards discussion. To summarize, there is no perfect way to measure a programs execution time. [15:51] pragmaticenigma: Thanks! [15:52] Zteam, there are 24000 files in subdirectories in backphoto [15:53] calimero_82, cp should do the job, but rsync might suit your needs better :-) [15:53] no === andyhuzhill_ is now known as andyhuzhill [15:54] calimero_82: I would also recommend rsync... it will also alow you to restart the copy without having to start from the beginning or deal with file already exists errors [15:54] Ntemis, then you should try it, it's avaiable from the repos, (unviverise I belive) [15:55] trying [15:55] installed now what? [15:56] just did a fresh install of ubuntu 18.04 and it just sitting there at [ OK ] Reached target Cloud-init target. [15:56] is this normal? [15:56] no [15:56] paws: Did you install a cloud instance ? [15:56] i dont think so [15:56] Ntemis, just run sudo testdisk from a terminal, and follow it's instruction [15:56]
