[00:00] i found the folder but cant figure out how to copy it to my phone as a storage device [00:01] is it under /mnt or /media? [00:04] en1gma: it should be under $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs [00:04] try "ls $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs" [00:05] "mtp:host=%5Busb%3A002%2C005%5D" [00:05] how do i use "sudo nautilus" to backup /~/.mozilla to phone though [00:05] i dont think i see that mtp with nautilus [00:05] does the phone appear in the left column? [00:06] yea but if i goto that phone icon and hit paste it says i dont have permission even though i have sudo nautilaus open where i hit "copy" from [00:06] go to /mnt/home..... copy .mozilla then go to /run/user/1000/gvfs... etc and paste it in the phone where you want [00:07] maybe you can only paste in a specific place? sorry i've never pasted anything but pics and music before [00:07] will try one sec [00:08] i see a 999 but not a 1000 [00:09] go with that [00:09] im in there and i see a gvfs file thats binary [00:10] it dont look like the phone directories in that /999 fir [00:10] dir* [00:11] hmm it should be a dir [00:11] that gvfs is a file though [00:11] what happens if you double click on it? [00:11] am i supposed to "paste" right there? [00:11] oh ok 1 sec [00:11] no [00:12] llocation could not be displayed when i double click the gvfs file [00:13] no permission to view [00:13] en1gma: odd, try in the terminal "cd $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs/mtp" [00:13] after that it should say "Phone" [00:14] i typed ls and it shows internal and storage so thats right area [00:15] installing "mc" [00:17] i cant cd into "Internal" or "Storage" [00:22] hello, seniors, please help === fotato is now known as foddo [00:23] !ask | adikwok [00:23] adikwok: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

I am at a loss as to what to advise . See what they are and move them off the drive to storage elsewhere, maybe ? Then there are smaller measures we can take to gain a bit more headroom . [02:05] Bashing-om: ooh .. i found it. . it is some of recovery file from formatted windows, when i was dual boot before [02:05] adikwok: photorec recovery files ??? [02:06] Bashing-om: yes . yes , i just remembered i used it yesterday [02:06] adikwok: OKay ! .. If they no longer serve a purpose. delete them !

[02:07] Bashing-om: ok, i will photorec again to another ext-hdd [02:07] Bashing-om: my ex windows drive is not mounted, its /dev/sda6 [02:08] adikwok: Good, chances are the recovery files are incomplete anyway as you did run out of disk space . [02:09] adikwok: windows drive sda6 .. that is *NOT* a drive .. but a partition on that 1st hard drive ! be careful what you do here ! [02:10] Bashing-om: yes, i read before when lost dual boot, better to not mounted that partition which used to had windows, so i unmounted it [02:13] Bashing-om: i did rm -rf recup_* .. now i can install pastebinit, but i dont know how to use it. [02:13] Bashing-om: is it correct? .. http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/v5xWWRW22Z/ [02:14] adikwok: Windows had this thing of partitions identified as a "drive" ( \:c ) .. where in linux each drive is a seperate physical device . sda, sdb, sbc are 3 physical drives .. sda1 is 1st partition on 1st hard drive - sdc4 is fourth partition on 3rd hard drive ... and so on .

[02:26] Bashing-om: i dont know how to re-install without losing all settings and data, .. and i still had /dev/sda6 which i need to recover [02:28] Bashing-om: i used to dead or alive in gnome-desktop since i fell in love when i looked at ubuntu bionic beaver. but my laptop too old to run that gnome, so some seniors told me to try lubuntu . im afraid gonna changed all my gnome settings. so i tried lxde. [02:28] all went well imho, until yesterday apt update [02:31] Bashing-om: hello ... sir/madam .. now i can login to lubuntu lxde, using my username adi [02:33] adikwok: If you can live with keeping a verry close eye from this point on to disk usage .. well great . But you can see what one can get into when there is no disk space. Presemtly we do not know what all packages will have to be re-installed ( grahics driver !) to get this system back functional . 14 Gigs is real tight! . [02:33] Bashing-om: just now, in my confusion, i tried to logout and login .. with adi . and it works .. [02:33] Bashing-om: i am looking for the way to re-install without losing settings, . [02:34] adikwok1: That is good news .. we go back to work getting some elbow room . [02:35] adikwok1: there is no purpose now in re-installing the operating system unless you can come up with some way to get more room to install into. [02:35] Bashing-om: really good news.. [02:36] Bashing-om: i think, later can rearrange partition. if recovered file had move to ext-hdd. since it is 46gb in my /dev/sda6 noe [02:37] Bashing-om: i personally thank you for your guidance in that .ICEauthority and .Xauthority and so on.

[02:43] Bashing-om: i did .. sudo apt autoclean ; sudo apt clean ; sudo apt autoremove ; sudo apt -f install ; sudo dpkg --configure -a ; sudo dpkg -C [02:43] with the result..

At 95% linux does fragment files ! .. maybe a good idea to defrag this system once you have it at a safe level .

So long story short, I have a problem that showed up upon attempting to boot my system. Due to the fact this happened when I had packages waiting for a reboot, I don't want to do anything without care. [03:50] My "/dev/sda6" drive has a file system with errors, and my laptop booted into BusyBox so that I could fix it manually [03:51] Would anyone be willing to help me through the process so that my laptop is recovered without breaking too much? [03:52] i've been trying to figure out how to do bcache - it seems that you have to format an entire drive instead of specifying a partition on the drive that you want to setup a cache on? [03:53] epic_null: file system errors generally one will runn fsck from a liveUSB . Got it on-hand ? [03:54] More like "On Kneck" ~~sorry, I joke inappropriately when I'm nervous~~ [03:55] is there a soft shutdown from busybox or can I boot to the usb from here? [03:56] epic_null: Depends on what the file system state is and what is set in the system for a soft reboot . [03:57] !sysrq | epic_null [03:57] epic_null: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing slowly, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [03:58] epic_null: You can also force fsck at boot time by passing fsck.mode=force, as a kernel parameter. This will check every filesystem you have on the machine. [04:00] fsck does report errors, I know that much. [04:00] I just have 0 experience with the program, and don't want to destroy the system while trying to work with it [04:01] epic_null: If it says a manual intervention is needed . then a liveUSB(DVD) is required . [04:02] epic_null: On another note, the system is already borked . all we can do is what we can do to UN-bork it . [04:03] Alright, I've got the thing booting to the usb [04:03] And I know it's borked [04:04] but at this point it's only "Broken" not "Destroyed" [04:04] There's a "try ubuntu without installing" which is my first choice, but given the situation, would I need "Check disc for defects" instead? [04:06] epic_null: A looksee to see what the file system check reveals ' sudo e2fsck -C0 -p -f -v /dev/sdXY ' where you know the valie for XY ftom ' sudo fdisk -lu ' . [04:07] epic_null: boot that "try ubuntu" and once at the desltop, ctl+alt+t to gain a terminal . [04:08] desktop* [04:08] I did see a thing that mentioned that I didn't want a -p when I was fsck [04:09] epic_null: -p trys fixes where response not required . see ' man e2fsck ' . [04:10] Yesterday, I had the same issue and used the live USB. Opened gparted and right click on your root partition (mine was /dev/sda5) and click check. gparted checked and corrected the problem(s). [04:12] I rebooted during a kernel upgrade for xanmod. System became unresponsive and force reboot. Computer booted to busybox. The above worked for me. === JanC_ is now known as JanC [04:13] Yeah... that sounds like it could be my situation - I did a hard reboot (Long story - short version is I do it to fix my keyboard.) but didn't think about the updates waiting [04:15] yep, same result different situation :) borked the root partition. I opted for the quick point and click fix with gparted and it let me know it found errors and corrected them. Rebooted and ran sudo dpkg --configure -a to finish the upgrade [04:16] So it's gparted check (currently running, I think), then reboot to system and try to fix update. [04:16] That I can trust myself with [04:17] Freaked me out for a moment. For some reason the fsck option during boot kicked me to busybox without checking the drive. Yeah, gparted at least worked for me. [04:18] I just clicked to apply. Does check and repair have a high chance of breaking things? [04:18] I ask cause it gave a warning [04:18] I haven't had a problem with it yet. I've used it before for a different issue. [04:18] Yeah, I ignored the warning while grinding my teeth. [04:19] I totally 100% agree the warning should be there, but it makes me nervous [04:20] yep, I know the feeling. Unless bashing-om or anyone has a better idea. It's worked for me both times I've done this. There is always a chance it may not work. [04:21] i am using l2tp vpn client, and i want to set the KeepAlive parameter. where can i find the config file? [04:22] epic_null: madmangun Sure; nothing wrong with fiving it a shot .. Gparted runs e2fsck -f -y -v on it for you, [04:22] giving* [04:23] Yeah but I'd rather trust something set up to do it for me when I need to do it on a critical system [04:23] Perhaps I'll remember this and set up a virtual enviornment later in which to learn how fsck works [04:26] This may help epic, I'm not familiar with that vpn client. - https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn/blob/master/docs/clients.md [04:26] epic_null: I have a very short memory ... and as an aid I have a cli_cmds text file :P [04:28] smart move bashing-om :) Same here and a ~/bin direcctory full of scripts [04:30] What vpn? [04:31] madmangun: Oh guawshhh. I have a text file in my /bin to list what scripts I have and where :P [04:36] That's to funny. put my custom scripts with notes in each one in bin folder in home and modified my path to add it. Some of the scripts echo out some very nasty things remindming me how to fix some odd ball ubuntu issues. Squints eyes.... looking at you nvidia [04:37] Hmm... I got a thing that said I have an error, and I saved the details of the run, but the error seems to be in the "resize" portion [04:37] says "Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock" [04:38] Does that mean it's bORked? [04:39] did you select the correct partition? Do you know which is your root? [04:43] I have the damaged partition, and based on size, I believe that makes it the main one [04:44] I didn't dictate the setup but I believe it is root [04:44] Yeah, looking at my partitions, there aren't a lot of other candidates for the root partition [04:46] epic_null: consider: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2177756 . [04:47] hmm.. i'm not sure on this, It looks like your going to need to get your hands dirty on the command line. [04:48] I'd drop a picture, but I'm still figuring out how to do that [04:48] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/441786057391079424/512850898322718720/20181115_204545.jpg [04:50] definately /dev/sda6 [04:50] epic_null: sda6 is your ubuntu partition , what partition did you run gparted check on ? [04:51] /dev/sda6 [04:52] It also didn't fail until the resize step [04:59] *shaking my head* not sure why gparted barked out that error. You could reboot to the live usb again and re-try or follow the steps in the link bashing-om provided. If all else fails you'll have to reinstall by deleteing /dev/sda6, unmounting /dev/sda7 and delete it - reboot and install ubuntu again alongside windows. Installer will use the free space. :/ [05:01] madmangun: epic_null GPT partitioning .. No experience here .. there is but ONE backup superblock . [05:02] After a re-install OR if you get this fixed. I'd suggest this article on moving your /home folder to another partition in case something like this happens and you want to make sure you don't loose anything in your home folder ever again. - https://www.maketecheasier.com/move-home-folder-ubuntu/ [05:09] Noted. oooh, that's probably not good - I now have an "error fsyncing/closing /dev/sda#" when I pen gparted [05:09] *open [05:09] ... [05:11] Here's a stumper for you sysadmin nerds. I've got a sql file I've dumped into /tmp/dbdump.sql. Right now, my script tarballs it along with another directory (after cd'ing to that directory's home), and that's fine. Everything works. However, when I blow up the tarball, I would prefer to have my dbdump.sql pop out as ./dbdump.sql, rather than /tmp/dbdump.sql. How would I go about telling tar to do this without explicitly copying it [05:11] to the pwd where I'm running tar. [05:12] But when I blow it up, it blows pops out in my pwd, not in /tmp or where it was when I rolled it up [05:16] erm... this... may be a problem... Gparted is now showing the entire space as unallocated (after the errors have occured) [05:17] Would attempting to reboot be a mistake here? And would it make sense to attempt a data rescue? [05:17] I don't know the tools well enough to know what to attempt [05:20] @epic_null - I am stumped on this. The other time I used gparted to correct a partition was when I had expanded a partition and had a lockup. Rebooted and my partition was unallocated. I used the check/fix option and it was corected in that situation. [05:24] Hmm... I tried to mount /dev/sda6 and got a "can't read superblock" error... I really hope I didn't just screw, but... [05:26] epic_null, try fsck [05:27] Did you receive the error after rebooting and re-running gparted? If not give that a try. He has (graphically using gparted) done that Mathisen. [05:27] I haven't rebooted the system but I did reboot gparted [05:28] Also it only shows sda part of the time right now... [05:29] ouch.. [05:29] This... is not good... [05:30] epic_null, i would not use this disk anymore at all sounds like it seen better days.. time to recover what you can from it to another drive [05:30] I can't chjange it right now I don't have my tools [05:30] You may try opening a terminal and executing sudo e2fsck -C0 -p -f -v /dev/sda7 and see what happens. I think you'll need to reboot at this point and re-run gparted. [05:31] epic_null: ^^ sda6 ** [05:31] You can reinstall Ubuntu without effecting Windows. You'll loose your linux data of course. You will need to use gparted to delete /dev/sda7 and unmount your linux-swap and delete it. Reboot to the live cd and you'll have the option to install Ubuntu alongside windows. It will use the free space. [05:32] Yeah, I got a short reead error [05:32] And I was never worried about the windows data [05:32] sda6 ! sorry about that [05:33] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/441786057391079424/512862584312037400/20181115_213228.jpg [05:33] epic_null, the more you use this drive the worse it is gonna get. [05:33] epic_null: consider sparing off that super block . But I have no experience with GPT to know how . You do have one spare . [05:34] So my goal right now needs to be "rescue any data that's possible" and then "Remove data from disk" [05:35] I'm going to have to run and do something first [05:35] I will be back [05:36] use something like Ddrescue and save to diffrent disk then start to recover. just dumb to start now if the bad is in bad shape [05:36] if disk* === Class7_ is now known as Class7 === capella|away is now known as capella [06:18] Sorry about running out like that - I had to get to target before they closed [06:20] epic_null: ubuntu is 24/7 no problem when part or join [06:22] Yeah but I kinda left in a hurry when people were helping me. That's not good form.
