| pizzaretaliation | Running a Windows box but I've been itching to use Ubuntu again for a while. Still tied to Windows for video games. Considering just wiping the hard drive and installing both operating systems. I remember I tried doing this before and goofed it up. Is it better to install Windows first and then Ubuntu to have GRUB take over booting? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| tomreyn | pizzaretaliation: you're welways welcome to just ask your question if it's ubuntu related here. | 00:02 |
| tomreyn | you're right, doing the windows installation first, the ubuntuinstallation second, is what we usually recommend here for dual-boot setups. | 00:03 |
| pizzaretaliation | Should I partition during install (I'm going to split the hard drive storage half for Windows half for Linux), or just do a full Windows install then let Ubuntu handle the partitioning? | 00:04 |
| OerHeks | guides say let windows make free space | 00:06 |
| tomreyn | the ubuntu installer can resize an existing windows installation to make room for the ubuntu installation, so it doesn't really matter. also, partitioning yourself always bears the risk of doing it improperly / non-ideal. | 00:06 |
| pizzaretaliation | OK thanks gang | 00:06 |
| tomreyn | if you'll reinstall all OSes this is a good opportunity to switch to UEFI booting if you didn't do that already. | 00:07 |
| pizzaretaliation | So Ubuntu handles UEFI now? I clearly haven't done this in a long time XD | 00:07 |
| OerHeks | !uefi | 00:07 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 00:07 |
| tomreyn | in BIOS, set a sata mode of AHCI, not RAID. make sure you don't change any bios settings between the two installations, only do a one-time override of the boot location so you can boot the ubuntu installer from usb | 00:09 |
| tomreyn | (there are situations where people inadvertantly installed the two OSes in different boot modes by switching from uefi to bios boot mode between those installations) | 00:10 |

| transhumanist | hi I probably already know its bad news but I am forced to downgrade from 19.04 to 18.04 and try and preserve home directory is this likely to end badly? | 01:35 |
| guiverc | transhumanist, i would suggest installing 18.04 with 'something else', selecting your partitions & not format. it'll take note of your added apps, erase your system dirs & install, then re-install added apps (esp. ubuntu repo ones) & doesn't touch $HOME | 01:36 |

| disillusion | I accidentally copied a directory larger than the partition on a usb hard drive. I used the "cp" command in the terminal to do it.

| disillusion | I ruined my external usb hard drive by copying over a directory that's larger than the partition on the usb drive, so what tools can I use to repair this usb hard drive? I'm thinking something like dd but "zeroing" it isn't working, since it says, "no space left on device". | 04:07 |
| DixieNormous | stevendale - I auto connect to VPN on login so i guess i have no reason for a cloak? or is it worth the research? | 04:07 |
| stevendale | did you copy the data or cut it disillusion | 04:07 |
| disillusion | (I rebooted while it hung as the partition was full. This appears to have wrecked by usb drive) | 04:07 |
| stevendale | DixieNormous, you should probably join #freenode like dax suggested, it's becoming a freenode problem not a Ubuntu problem | 04:08 |
| disillusion | stevendale, I used the "cp" command in the terminal. | 04:08 |
| stevendale | disillusion, is the drive still mounted? | 04:08 |
| DixieNormous | Apologies, thank you for your patience friendly internet people!! | 04:08 |
| disillusion | stevendale, fdisk and gparted no longer see the usb drive at all. | 04:08 |
| stevendale | disillusion, power cycle your computer and check to see if the "lsblk" command sees it | 04:09 |
| disillusion | dmesg and kern.log can see when it gets plugged in and out, and describe it accurately, but the hard drive part doesn't show up anymore. | 04:09 |
| disillusion | stevendale, I've rebooted and powered down. Still the same. | 04:09 |
| disillusion | stevendale, due the the partition being full, it just hung on the "cp" command indefinitely, I couldn't unmount the partition. I rebooted and now it appears the drive is worthless. | 04:10 |

| stevendale | ScriptGeek, don't run as root | 04:11 |
| stevendale | disillusion I'm pretty sure that's a cp problem not a Ubuntu problem | 04:11 |
| stevendale | Nautilus (Files) would have done it correctly | 04:12 |
| disillusion | stevendale, oh yes it could be a problem with "cp", I should correct that. | 04:12 |

| stevendale | It's probably fixable if you connect it directly to an internal hard drive cable on a desktop PC | 04:13 |
| disillusion | stevendale, yes. I tried to copy a directory from my system to the usb hard drive, but accidentally copied to a small partition, one smaller than the data to be copied. It just hung once full, so I rebooted. | 04:14 |

| stevendale | ScriptGeek: You'll have to delete the configuration in the root directory then run Quassel as non-root to get it to create new config | 04:17 |

| lotuspsychje | mikubuntu: if apt doesnt give errors its 'safer' to reboot, did you make a backup of your data? | 07:15 |
| mikubuntu | Lotus no | 07:17 |
| lotuspsychje | mikubuntu: when doing upgrades its always reccomended having a backup of your data, if anything goes wrong | 07:18 |
| mikubuntu | Lotuspsychje I know, careless | 07:18 |
| mikubuntu | No available media | 07:19 |
| lotuspsychje | mikubuntu: as we dont know the details of your errors during upgrade, its not easy to advice you neither | 07:20 |
| mikubuntu | Lotuspsychje at this rate upgrades still have 15 to 20 mins, should I hold off restart after cleanup or is it automatic? | 07:22 |
| lotuspsychje | mikubuntu: when upgrade running, dont abort till the end | 07:22 |
| lotuspsychje | mikubuntu: when upgrade completes without errors, its possible reboot will work nicely | 07:23 |
| mikubuntu | first time ever in channel via we chat conference, so hard to see and type | 07:23 |
| lotuspsychje | mikubuntu: ive seen your nick here before, its not the first time you come here right | 07:24 |
| mikubuntu | Lotuspsychje so you DO recommend aborting? | 07:24 |
| mikubuntu | Yes been here many times just not from phone | 07:25 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: do not abort, finish updates | 07:25 |
| lotuspsychje | mikubuntu: no, did you read what i say? | 07:25 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: if 'sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade' finishes without errors you should be ok | 07:26 |
| bryanroderyck | hi ubuntu im having an internal error that blocks verything how to solve this pleAse | 07:26 |

| MonsieurBon | My bluetooth device keeps getting turned on automatically (I assume on reboot?). As I rarely use bluetooth on my laptop, I would like it to be disabled unless I enable it manually. How can I do that? | 07:48 |
| bryanroderyck | https://pastebin.com/QA24Lk8b | 07:49 |
| gigirock | MonsieurBon, check rfkill command, but sometimes bt is 'togheter' with wifi , and so if you have wifi on the bt is still on. | 07:50 |
| MonsieurBon | gigirock, where would I put the rfkill command? I can enable/disable bluetooth and wifi separately and independently in the menu, so I guess they are not 'together'? | 07:51 |
| ducasse | bryanroderyck: ok, that all looks good. what command do you run when you get the python error? | 07:52 |
| gigirock | MonsieurBon, ctrl alt t , you have a terminal , then "man rfkill" | 07:52 |
| bryanroderyck | i use the text editor | 07:52 |
| MonsieurBon | gigirock, I know that. :-) but I assumed that I would have to add it to some startup script so it will be turned off at every boot? | 07:53 |
| gigirock | MonsieurBon, or you have some bt utility in your system, but it depends which de you are running | 07:53 |
| ducasse | bryanroderyck: which one? | 07:54 |
| bryanroderyck | atom text editor | 07:54 |
| bryanroderyck | before that i use ninja IDE | 07:56 |
| bryanroderyck | but i have recived the internal error very long time .. | 07:57 |
| ducasse | how did you install atom? | 07:58 |
| bryanroderyck | threw the terminal i suppose | 07:58 |
| mikubuntu | Lotuspsychje ducasse https://imagebin.ca/v/4gTbpo9x1JgS | 07:59 |
| ducasse | bryanroderyck: from a snap? | 08:00 |
| bryanroderyck | no i cant use snap im on 16.04 32 bit machine | 08:00 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: just select replace | 08:01 |
| mikubuntu | Ducasse but replace with what? Lol. | 08:02 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: it will replace that config file with a file from the package, it's safe | 08:03 |
| mikubuntu | Ok | 08:03 |
| mikubuntu | https://imagebin.ca/v/4gTeKfUMvoPm ducasse | 08:06 |
| ducasse | bryanroderyck: ok, because there is no atom package that i can see for 16.04 | 08:06 |
| bryanroderyck | i have it install .. | 08:07 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: just let it run | 08:08 |
| bryanroderyck | brb | 08:08 |
| ducasse | bryanroderyck: i don't doubt that, i'm just wondering where it came from | 08:08 |

| ducasse | mikubuntu: it should finish soon | 08:09 |
| mikubuntu | Asking me to restart or close ducasse | 08:10 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: no errors? | 08:10 |

| mikubuntu | Not showing in the output now ducasse | 08:11 |
| bryanroderyck | what can be done? | 08:11 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: good, then you can restart | 08:12 |
| mikubuntu | The moment of truth has arrived | 08:12 |
| ducasse | bryanroderyck: let me go through this - exactly where do you get that python error? how do you start atom and where does it show? | 08:15 |
| mikubuntu | Ducasse https://imagebin.ca/v/4gTh8GGkyfZ2 | 08:15 |
| mikubuntu | But login screen is up | 08:16 |
| bryanroderyck | i get the error message when i start ubuntu ... the error saying python when i want to upgrade ubuntu its block the process | 08:16 |
| bryanroderyck | i start atom from desktop | 08:17 |
| kaikas | I'm trying to upgrade from 14.04 using do-release-upgrade. The tool stops at "Adding group `systemd-journal` (GID 106) ... Done." and nothing more happens. How can i fix that? It is a root server and the provider forces me to use 14.04 as bare image, so a fresh install is not an option. | 08:19 |
| mikubuntu | Ducasse at one point in the upgrade I got msg that 2 display mgrs were installed and to choose one add or lights I chose lightdm because it wouldn't seem to let me do the other but I can see display looks goofy now | 08:19 |
| mikubuntu | Going to login to channel from target now | 08:21 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse damn now i lost view of our previous threads, were u able to see the image of the login screen? | 08:24 |
| mikubuntu | i've definitely goofed up my display somehow | 08:25 |
| ducasse | no, i didn't get that message | 08:28 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse, let me try to repost | 08:28 |
| bryanroderyck | https://imgur.com/a/dl6RZOd i have also before ubuntu start i have the xorg error msg .. | 08:29 |
| dragi | OS Ubuntu 19.04 freezes | 08:32 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse - https://imagebin.ca/v/4gTmnC7WhQxf | 08:34 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: oh, yes, i got that - i thought you said it was of the login screen | 08:36 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse yes that was on the login screen and now my display resolution is all goofy, could it be that i shouldn't have chosen to proceed with lightdm rather than sddm during the upgrade? i actually couldn't make it choose sddm. | 08:38 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: display manager shouldn't matter, what gpu do you have? | 08:42 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse -- lol, i have no idea | 08:43 |
| mikubuntu | looks like lxterminal has been replaced with qterminal in the menus though ducasse | 08:44 |

| mikubuntu | ducasse uhmmmm i guess this is now 18.10 after the upgrade | 08:49 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: are you planning to upgrade all the way to 19.04? | 08:50 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse i hoped to but i read that i shouldn't jump 2 upgrades at once or something | 08:51 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: you can't, you need to go one at a time (unless you upgrade from one lts to the next) | 08:53 |
| eraserpencil | when i do an apt install of pkgA, somehow pkgA and pkgB(which is not a dependcy of pkgA) gets installed too. | 08:53 |
| eraserpencil | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2DYKCyjtyd/ | 08:53 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse -- oh i must have misread that (too) | 08:53 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse -- should i just try to continue and do next upgrade? | 08:54 |
| mikubuntu | and not worry about display issues yet/now? | 08:55 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: you can. are the display issues annoying? what exactly are they, wrong resolution? | 08:58 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse yes resolution and even some colors don't appear to be rendering right -- kind of looks like the screen from my first win 95 comp (switched to buntu 7.04) | 09:00 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: ok. in that case you can try upgrading to see if that fixes it. if it doesn't, it might be an edid problem. | 09:03 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse ok https://imagebin.ca/v/4gTvs7j7ddoO | 09:04 |
| mikubuntu | looks like that | 09:04 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse is it ok to leave my browser open during upgrade? | 09:04 |
| mikubuntu | don't have any particular homework that could get broken, right? | 09:05 |
| mikubuntu | i've always closed everything during updates, but maybe i don't have to? | 09:06 |
| ducasse | no, i'm usually working on during them | 09:09 |
| mikubuntu | k i'll leave it open then | 09:10 |
| sveinse | Are there any docs for how to create an ubuntu (TUI-only) live usb drive whith installable pacakges which is persistent? | 09:15 |
| ayekat | sveinse: don't think so, but it shouldn't be any different from installing ubuntu to any other drive | 09:16 |
| sveinse | ayekat: so one could boot off the USB installer and install a system on another USB device? | 09:17 |
| sveinse | that might work | 09:17 |
| ayekat | sveinse: yes - it's just a storage device as far as the installer is concerned | 09:18 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse why is everything always so complicated? lol. got this window dialogue: "One or more running instances of xscreensaver or xlockmore have been detected on this system. Because of incompatible library changes, the upgrade of the GNU libc library will leave you unable to authenticate to these programs. You should arrange for these programs to be restarted or stopped before continuing this upgrade, to avoid locking your users | 09:23 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: ok, see if those are running and kill them if they are | 09:26 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: or just make sure they don't lock the screen | 09:26 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse how do i know? the upgrade seems to be proceeding. | 09:27 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse do i run killall on each? | 09:27 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: if they're running, yes | 09:27 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse so no worries i can just run killall while the upgrade is running? | 09:28 |
| ducasse | yeah | 09:28 |
| mikubuntu | ok thx | 09:28 |
| ducasse | just don't kill the upgrade process :) | 09:28 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse ok ran killall on xscreensaver, went back to prompt, ran killall xlockmore, said no process found | 09:31 |
| ducasse | ok, good | 09:32 |
| mikubuntu | ducasse omg don't even say it! lol. | 09:40 |

| mikubuntu | ducasse hmmmm .. seems to be downloading/unpacking a lot of kde stuff, i think i tried some kde utility once or something, guess it won't hurt anything | 09:44 |

| mikubuntu | lotuspsychje__: i don't really know why that kde stuff is in there | 09:46 |
| ducasse | mikubuntu: you probably have some kde app, they drag in tons of libraries etc | 09:46 |

| Xatenev | is anyone using rofi/dmenu? | 11:13 |
| Xatenev | It became really slow suddenly, (it takes 2 seconds now) | 11:13 |
| Xatenev | the time seems to be consistent | 11:14 |
| Xatenev | i wonder how to debug this, or if anyone has a clue what might be wrong | 11:14 |
| Xatenev | im not sure what changed | 11:14 |
| lotuspsychje | Tankburn: whats happening? | 11:15 |
| Tankburn | lotuspsychje: I tried changing to the nauveau driver and then the 396 | 11:16 |
| Tankburn | rebooting both time | 11:16 |
| Tankburn | still saying my driver is unclaimed | 11:16 |
| lotuspsychje | Tankburn: hmm, thats pretty weird mate | 11:16 |
| mikubuntu_ | Lotuspsychje is it restarting the whole uograde? | 11:17 |
| lotuspsychje | Tankburn: what does ubuntu-drivers devices say? | 11:17 |
| lotuspsychje | mikubuntu_: no, its updating your system | 11:17 |

| lotuspsychje | ducasse: his upgrade finished, we apt update & upgrade now | 11:19 |
| lotuspsychje | Tankburn: can you share your dmesg please? | 11:19 |

| mikubuntu_ | You think I should try restart? Disease lotuspsychje | 11:22 |
| lotuspsychje | Tankburn: do you dualboot? | 11:22 |
| Tankburn | from seperate disks not partition, but yes | 11:23 |
| lotuspsychje | Tankburn: Kernel is locked down from EFI secure boot; see man kernel_lockdown.7 | 11:23 |
| lotuspsychje | Tankburn: its possible that uefi settings block your graphics card | 11:24 |
| Tankburn | I recently installed a firmware update to resolve an efibootmgr issue. | 11:24 |

| Tankburn | it seems to have updated to GeForce GTX 1060 6GB/PCIe/SSE2 in Setup > About and in additional drivers section the 396 driver are selected, which were the ones on our last attempt | 11:37 |
| mikubuntu_ | Lotuspsychje I did the command u said and it asked me to autremove which I did and now back to prompt no more sign of any upgrade process | 11:37 |

| === u0_a69 is now known as Amrul | ||
| Amrul | hello | 12:29 |
| Younder | k3tan, ssh is the obvious way of doing this. I have a server running here right now that I control through a terminal. If you want windows programs to run a -X option can be passed, but mostly I use a command line or a HTTP server to represent it. cockpit is great fro monitoring a network using a web-browser.' | 12:29 |
| ducasse | Amrul: hi, do you have an ubuntu question? | 12:29 |
| Younder | Newcomers, take a good look look at the the number of people logged in. At current it is 1571. We don't need introductory hello's. If you have a question, ask it directly. | 12:35 |
| Gosset | anyone with a 1TB SSD mem? | 12:38 |
| Younder | Gosset, I have 2 TB | 12:39 |
| Gosset | :O | 12:39 |
| Gosset | but you know that memories don't last too much? | 12:39 |
| Gosset | *those | 12:39 |
| Gosset | I hope you backup everything | 12:40 |
| Gosset | anyway, it's offtopic, sorry | 12:40 |
| Younder | Gosset, I also have a 10 TB disk which I back up to. And they last pretty long. Just don't get close to their capacity. | 12:40 |
| Gosset | ok, it's good to know | 12:41 |
| M_aD | and trim on a regular base | 12:41 |
| raub | M_aD: would you have some docs on that? I am guilty of not doing that myself | 12:44 |
| Younder | For some reason it is reasonable quiet now so I will give apiece of advice. Ubuntu uses .deb files to update the system. Apart from /etc do not install programs in areas other than /home/<user> or /usr/local. If you do you interfere with the package system and the 'next' update will fail (or the 10'th). | 12:45 |
| k3tan | Younder, i don't want to use it through terminal, i want GUI | 12:46 |
| raub | Younder: is /opt still a thing? | 12:47 |
| Younder | raub, yes. Some programs still use it. So when backing up avoid system areas and use /home /opt and /usr/local | 12:49 |
| M_aD | raub: got to go but the internet is yours, plenty of info out there on how to trim your ssd :) | 12:49 |
| M_aD | laters | 12:49 |
| lotuspsychje | !trim | 12:49 |
| ubottu | Many Solid State Drives support TRIM, which allows the drive to do garbage collection and improves performance. Ubuntu 14.04 activates it by default. For older versions, see http://askubuntu.com/a/19480 for information on activating it. | 12:49 |
| Younder | k3tan, whatever is a web browser acceptable? | 12:50 |
| k3tan | sure | 12:50 |
| Younder | Then use cockpit. | 12:51 |

| Labga | Hi, How can I flash a windows 10 iso to usb on 19.04?? | 12:53 |

| Labga | not supported on 19.04 | 12:53 |
| lotuspsychje | Labga: keep in mind we dont officially support it | 12:54 |
| Labga | that's why I ask | 12:54 |
| Younder | Labga, I use GUI program called brasero. | 12:54 |
| Younder | Labga, I fact I did what you suggested last month. | 12:55 |
| Labga | Younder: It let me choose only disc and not USB drive | 12:56 |
| urgodfather | Labga have you used unetbootin? | 12:56 |
| k3tan | Younder, just installed cockpit, how do I view/control the GUI? | 12:57 |
| Younder | https://itsfoss.com/bootable-windows-usb-linux/ | 12:57 |
| Younder | k3tan, In the browser enter https://localhost:9090/system | 12:58 |
| k3tan | im there | 12:59 |
| k3tan | this doesn't allow me to see the desktop? | 12:59 |
| Labga | urgodfather: Same as with woeusb. supported till 18.10 | 12:59 |
| Younder | Log in using your usrename and password | 12:59 |
| k3tan | yep | 12:59 |
| urgodfather | unetbootin is no longer supported?!?! missed that memo | 12:59 |

| Labga | do I see it right? | 13:09 |
| urgodfather | you could always do a dd | 13:10 |
| coconut | only that your disk will be read only file system then iirc | 13:11 |
| urgodfather | coconut is that in regards to using dd? | 13:12 |
| lotuspsychje | Labga: snap find woeusb | 13:12 |
| pragmaticenigma | coconut: As has been said before, please do not contribute incomplete thoughts or ideas. using DD to write an image file to a disk does not mean the result will be read only. | 13:13 |
| Labga | lotuspsychje: Thanks | 13:15 |
| urgodfather | pragmaticenigma even if it did, couldnt you just fsutil and modify it to be RW? | 13:15 |
| urgodfather | j/w | 13:15 |
| pragmaticenigma | dd is a binary duplication program. it litterally copies bits of data from a source, to a destination. If the source data is somehow flagged as readonly, the destination will inherit that same flag. | 13:16 |
| Younder | pragmaticenigma, you wnat to use rsunc | 13:18 |

| kurt-xubuntu | cleanly or will i end up with a mess | 13:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | urgodfather: this discussion is no longer on topic, and we need to move on | 13:26 |
| urgodfather | ::thumbsup | 13:27 |
| coconut | pragmaticenigma: oh it's has an different outcome when using dd instead of cp on an iso then? | 13:27 |
| binarydragon | kurt-xubuntu: i would start with that | 13:28 |
| leftyfb | coconut: yes. Since cp'ing an iso to something like /dev/sda1 is invalid and won't actually do anything. cp'ing an iso file to a mounted flash drive only copies the file. Now you have a file on your flash drive. Not the installer. | 13:28 |
| coconut | leftyfb: cp'ing files without a mount does complete in a valid install usb disk here though. What is invalid about it? | 13:31 |
| kurt-xubuntu | well it seems to have uninstalled ok nothing blew up no errors or crashes time will tell on the rest | 13:32 |
| kurt-xubuntu | sorry to bug you | 13:32 |
| kurt-xubuntu | later | 13:33 |
| EriC^^ | coconut: cp'ing is valid but you have to cp to the disk not a partition | 13:33 |
| EriC^^ | cp file /dev/sdb for instance | 13:33 |
| coconut | EriC^^: yes, knew that :) | 13:35 |
| EriC^^ | i had a feeling like i came mid discussion, carry on :) | 13:35 |
| === captain_fixerpc1 is now known as CaptainFixerpc14 | ||
| leftyfb | coconut: I didn't think that would actually work. I assume there was something magic/different about dd that cp wouldn't do to make image properly. | 13:37 |

| cfhowlett | ... UBUNTU support. | 14:36 |

| tomreyn | Alio88: okay, so on the top right conrner you have a way to manage the network connection, right? | 15:24 |
| tomreyn | Yatekii: what this command i provided does is to uninstall software which is no longer needed, including their configurations, packages may install files in various locations, so there is no easy answer to this. | 15:25 |

| dirtycajun | an fsck on 120TB is going to take weeks isnt it... | 15:33 |
| lordcirth_ | dirtycajun, depends, what filesystem? Number of files is generally more important than size. | 15:33 |
| tomreyn | Alio88: hmm, i'm not so familiar with mate, maybe you can ask in #ubuntu-mate, too. i assume there is some system settings application, which lets you configure network connections. do you have that? | 15:33 |
| dirtycajun | lordcirth_ ext4. Got the "filesystem needs to be cleaned" and started an fsck about 60 hours ago. It has fixed 1 of the 9 inodes containing multiply-claimed blocks. At that speed im terrified of how long it could take | 15:34 |
| lordcirth_ | dirtycajun, how many drives did you raid to get 120TB? | 15:35 |
| dirtycajun | its 120TB Used. Its 288 raw. 3xRAID6 MDADM in groups of 12x8TB drives -> LVM | 15:36 |
| dirtycajun | so 240 usable. 120 used. | 15:37 |
| OerHeks | dirtycajun, grab some food, learn a language, in between | 15:38 |
| lordcirth_ | dirtycajun, in future I'd recommend ZFS. | 15:39 |
| blackflow | hear hear! | 15:39 |
| dirtycajun | haha! i mean i have to work :P i just wish that -v was actually verbose... it sits silent between questions. and hindsight yes probably but its a bit late now for that decision :/ | 15:40 |
| dirtycajun | id be less ansy if there was more telling me what it was doing than 1 process pegging 100% of one core | 15:41 |
| blackflow | dirtycajun: at that scale, you're guaranteed to have at least one bit corrupt. not running something like ZFS at that scale is borderline irresponsible :) | 15:41 |
| blackflow | (plus, zfs scrub has a nice progress bar) | 15:41 |
| blackflow | ((well okay, it's a nice progress printout, not literally a bar, when you `zpool status`)) | 15:42 |
| dirtycajun | realistically id need to order the amazon snowball to even do the migration and even at perfect theoretical read/write it would take 2 weeks each direction | 15:44 |

| buckworst | hello! i've been having a small problem with ubuntu 19.04: for some reason, the battery icon on the taskbar doesn't update in real time when i plug or unplug my charger, and neither does upower, but i can confirm that charging itself works normally. this isn't replicable under manjaro and antergos (that i've tried so far, but hesitant to use the two in favor of ubuntu). | 15:59 |
| buckworst | perhaps anyone can explain why, and maybe help me out? | 15:59 |
| lotuspsychje | buckworst: there's a few tests you can do, like check if a liveusb 18.04 shows battery | 16:01 |
| lotuspsychje | buckworst: or install a battery measure program to compare with the one from ubuntu | 16:01 |
| buckworst | i'll load up ubuntu 18.04 on my usb and see if the problem persists -- however may i ask what's the latter for exactly? | 16:03 |
| lotuspsychje | buckworst: to see if your battery fill in realtime, to compare with your ubuntu battery stats | 16:04 |
| gareppa | installing 18.04, can i have full disk encryption and separate home folder ? | 16:06 |
| rudeguy | hi, how can i find what's the application name of a menu entry? | 16:08 |
| tomreyn | gareppa: sure. separate /home requires manual partitioning or doing it post installation | 16:08 |

| PCatinean | hey guys, when I do ps - aux I see the process and the command but the command is so big it's truncated and I can't see it completely | 16:09 |
| PCatinean | any advice on how I can view the full thing? | 16:09 |
| buckworst | lotuspsychje: thanks, i'll make sure to do that as well. can i install packages on a live usb, by the way? | 16:09 |
| solderfumes | PCatinean: lazy solution: `ps -aux | cat` - output is no longer a terminal, so ps won't truncate | 16:10 |
| lotuspsychje | buckworst: a liveusb is more for testing purposes, as the system is not up to date yet before install | 16:10 |
| blackflow | PCatinean: ps has -w flag, check the manpage on how to use it | 16:11 |
| PCatinean | solderfumes, still seems to truncate | 16:14 |
| PCatinean | ah got it, it's -ww | 16:15 |
| gareppa | tomreyn, yes desktop | 16:15 |
| PCatinean | thanks guys! | 16:15 |

| tomreyn | dirtycajun: when the running e2fsck process received the USR1 signal, it should report its current progress quite instantly. | 16:19 |
| tomreyn | (however, if it works single threaded, and this cpu core is busy already, it could take a while) | 16:20 |
| dirtycajun | killall -USR1 fsck.ext4 | 16:22 |
| tomreyn | should be e2fsck rather | 16:23 |
| buckworst | lotuspsychje: i have checked -- it seems to update faster than upower to say the least. | 16:24 |
| buckworst | what else can i do? | 16:24 |
| lotuspsychje | buckworst: on bionic or ibam? | 16:24 |
| buckworst | ibam | 16:24 |
| buckworst | i haven't tried bionic -- will try it out and keep you updated | 16:25 |
| dirtycajun | tomreyn but there is no e2fsck running | 16:25 |
| lotuspsychje | buckworst: well if they dont match, you can consider filing a new !bug | 16:25 |
| lotuspsychje | buckworst: another option you can try, is update bios to latest to rule that out | 16:25 |
| lotuspsychje | buckworst: but if it differs now, its likely to be a 19.04 bug | 16:26 |
| tomreyn | dirtycajun: okay, /sbin/fsck.ext4 is really a symlink to e2fsck, i was thinking it's just a wrapper script. then it's fine. | 16:26 |
| dirtycajun | Tried USR1 and SIGUSR1 and both the command aas well as the PID. Ill give it 30 min or so and see if it caches up | 16:27 |
| rudeguy | https://i.imgur.com/O0dEsed.png how can i fix these two apps? i don't even understand what evolution calendar is... | 16:27 |
| buckworst | lotuspsychje: i have the latest bios already, i'm going to try out 18.04 and see if i can reproduce the same issue. cheers | 16:27 |
| lotuspsychje | buckworst: good luck! | 16:27 |

| AlexPortable | how do i disable that? | 16:47 |
| dirtycajun | tomreyn nothing in dmesg. and all smartcl show passed | 16:47 |
| OerHeks | AlexPortable, wait untill finished, then you can disable it completely https://linuxconfig.org/disable-automatic-updates-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux | 16:47 |
| tomreyn | AlexPortable: you can uninstall the package, but then you may no longer get updates automatically, or may have to wait longer while they download. | 16:48 |
| AlexPortable | i'm on a testing machine | 16:48 |
| AlexPortable | to test software, not to instlal updates | 16:48 |
| AlexPortable | every time this machine gets deployed i have to wait until updates are done, which takes a long time lol | 16:48 |
| lordcirth_ | AlexPortable, what are you deploying from? Perhaps you should bundle the updates | 16:49 |
| OerHeks | not sure if Debian gives the same solution :-P | 16:49 |
| lordcirth_ | Debian? | 16:49 |
| AlexPortable | VM snapshot | 16:49 |
| lordcirth_ | AlexPortable, so do updates and then snapshot again? | 16:50 |
| tomreyn | dirtycajun: are you saying you just ran smartctl -x on 36 disks, and reviewed the output throroughly, and all of this took you less than 6 minutes? | 16:50 |
| dirtycajun | no simply for i in /dev/sd[a-z] /dev/sda[a-z]; do smartctl -x $i | grep "overall-health"; done | 16:52 |
| tomreyn | since a-z are just 24 characters, i guess you missed some drives, but i guess checking just overall health makes sense on this scale. | 16:55 |
| shazbotmcnasty | Hello. I just did the upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, and I'm missing some files from /usr/bin now that used to be there. Do they get moved somewhere? It broke my Unifi controller software and I'd rather fix it than reinstall it and restore from a backup. | 16:55 |
| shazbotmcnasty | As the backup is a week ago and we've done several installations since then. | 16:56 |
| dirtycajun | tomreyn its a-az | 16:56 |
| tomreyn | oops | 16:56 |
| dirtycajun | :P | 16:56 |
| dirtycajun | And to be clear... i have no problem deleting the 9 inodes that have issues and pulling them from backup. is there a much faster way to get those inodes and i just delete them and we are good? or is fsck doing more than that | 16:57 |
| OerHeks | shazbotmcnasty, non ubuntu packages are disabled during upgrade, reinstall that thingy | 16:59 |
| OerHeks | likely they are removed | 16:59 |
| shazbotmcnasty | OerHeks: Darn. | 17:01 |
| ioria | shazbotmcnasty, why don't you check the upgrade logs ? | 17:02 |
| shazbotmcnasty | i can do that. the one /var/log/dist-upgrade/ ones eh? | 17:02 |
| ioria | yep | 17:02 |
| tomreyn | dirtycajun: you can clear them using debugfs' interactive "clri" command. but that's from ext2 times, i don't know whether it's save to use this with ext4. | 17:04 |
| dirtycajun | as an update i still dont have a progress bar. sigh. | 17:05 |

| tomreyn | bgProccess: the proper way to automatically start processes on boot and keep them running is a service / daemon. what you're doing can be done if it's just for testing / just temporarily. you may want to redirect the output (stdout and stderr) to a file. | 17:41 |
| tomreyn | you could also run it in a temrinal multiplexer, without backgorunding it. | 17:42 |
| bgProccess | tomreyn: Thanks. multiplexer on ubuntu server? | 17:43 |
| hggdh | bgProccess: like byobu | 17:44 |
| tomreyn | bgProccess: sure, why not? | 17:44 |
| buckworst | lotuspsychje: sadly 18.04 still exhibits the same problem as well - i should probably try submitting a bug report. thanks anyway | 17:46 |
| bgProccess | tomreyn: because my server is hosted by google clould platform and whenever after running the process and closing the window, it doesn't work anymore. So you think byobu can help? | 17:46 |
| ioria | screen | 17:47 |
| rfm | bgProccess, if your problem is that the process dies when you close the terminal, you probably just need nohup. I like to run in a subshell too, so "(nohup command &)" | 17:48 |
| === Noisette is now known as Plumette | ||
| bgProccess | rfm: thump:up | 17:48 |
| bgProccess | rfm: Thanks. | 17:49 |
| tomreyn | bgProccess: nohup is an option, a temrinal multiplexer such as byobu, tmux, screen is (IMO) a much nicer option. | 17:50 |
| bgProccess | tomreyn: Alright. But what about daemon / service? I have to create them? how does it work? (just need a tiny help) | 17:51 |
| tomreyn | bgProccess: you'd want a systemd service, that's something to look up. | 17:53 |
| tomreyn | systemd.service(5) | 17:54 |
| bgProccess | tomreyn: Thanks. Now I've got it ;) | 17:57 |
| tomreyn | :) | 17:57 |
| bgProccess | tomreyn: but still i don't get it about 'byobu'. lets say i install it on my server and now I have need to close the window so the proccess the i want will be killed!? Wont it? | 17:58 |
| tomreyn | bgProccess: you don't exit the terminal multiplexer, you just detach from it. | 18:03 |
| tomreyn | this way the processes you started in it remain running. | 18:03 |
| tomreyn | but again: if you want your bot to start with the rest of the system and remain running (get restarted if needed) | 18:04 |
| tomreyn | ... then you want a systemd service | 18:04 |
| dirtycajun | tomreyn, so after staring at my output for this pass so far (https://hastebin.com/raw/luguduruga) wouldnt it be fair to assume that once it gets to the 2nd file the others only being a few inodes incremented would come shortly after? | 18:04 |

| tomreyn | so, i compared the ext4 file system features set on a filesystem created on 16.04 to those created on 18.04. and i notice these have changed: +64bit -uninit_bg +metadata_csum | 18:19 |
| tomreyn | would anyone know why uninit_bg was removed? | 18:20 |
| lordcirth_ | tomreyn, because +metadata_csum replaces it | 18:21 |

| nikolam | Hi I moved to 19.04 today and I now hear something like "cracks" on the speakers, sometimes, sounds like when system is booting and like sound system reinitialize itself... | 18:36 |
| nikolam | I think this woudl be the problem because it is not normal for system to reinitialize sound, when it were already working and because those "cracks" on speakers are very loud and could wake up people in the room unintentionally | 18:37 |
| nikolam | Here are my kernel modules: https://bpaste.net/show/47bd76637a55 | 18:39 |
| OerHeks | crackling sound, do not turn up volume to 100%, use good cables, make sure your system/powerplug has proper grounding | 18:41 |
| pragmaticenigma | nikolam: Also, make sure the line input and mic input channels on the sounds settings are disabled. | 18:43 |
| nikolam | When I opened sound settings / audio mixer and Volume contorl windows is opened, I here the same "audio initialization" cracking. | 18:45 |
| nikolam | pragmaticenigma, all I see on Input devices is "monitor of Bult-in Analog Stereo" | 18:47 |
| nikolam | When I start Audacity I also hear cracks at least 4 times while it is starting. | 18:48 |
| nikolam | Also cracks when I open preferences... | 18:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | nikolam: I gave you a suggestion on what to look for. It's up to you to take it further on your own. In the sound settings look for options regarding the Mic and Line inputs. Try toggling them to mute those channels. | 18:49 |
| pragmaticenigma | nikolam: Everything you have spoken to "sounds" like interference, which is common in computer sound cards | 18:49 |
| OerHeks | power interference, not a driver/setting issue, never seen a driver fixing crackling sound | 18:50 |
| nikolam | As said, I see no input devices in Volume control>Input devices. Maybe of interest is that I am on Xfce DE/Xubuntu? | 18:50 |
| === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk | ||
| nikolam | pragmaticenigma, were not having those cracks at all during use, before updating to 19.04. I believe I had them only when starting computer | 18:51 |
| nikolam | And "cracks" are started by any interaction with the sound, like, opening settings. And also before VLC play , so every addressing audio by any system, results in cracks | 18:52 |
| nikolam | No cracks when playing another audio, while some audio was already playing. | 18:54 |
| nikolam | Also cracks after closing player | 18:54 |

| exell | Hi, I have an external hard drive that was working fine, but I wiped my computer and when I reconnect the drive I cannot write to it or transfer files to it, but I can open it and look at it | 18:56 |
| OerHeks | just a test, shutdown your machine, pull the powerplug, hold the powerbutton for 10 seconds, and boot again .. if that fixes it, it was just a build-up of energy in a not so good grounded machine | 18:56 |
| gambl0r3 | how do you improve battery life with linux? i installed tlp and im still getting crap battery life | 18:57 |
| OerHeks | exell, what type of partition(s) are on that ext hdd? | 18:57 |
| gambl0r3 | is it just how it is with linux? | 18:57 |
| gambl0r3 | OerHeks, what partitions | 18:57 |
| gambl0r3 | i only have one | 18:57 |
| OerHeks | gambl0r3, not for you. | 18:58 |
| nikolam | OerHeks, I will try that, yet, I still bet it's the software/sound system. Let me shutdown and try that. | 18:58 |

| gambl0r3 | ioria, cool thanks | 19:01 |
| ioria | ok | 19:01 |
| gambl0r3 | it seems like it will conflict with tlp but ill try anyways | 19:01 |
| gambl0r3 | :) | 19:02 |
| exell | OerKeks It's ext4 (Linux) after further checking | 19:02 |
| OerHeks | exell, oke, chown that drive to your current user/gid | 19:03 |
| OerHeks | sudo chown -R username /media/something | 19:05 |
| nikolam | OerHeks, I tried what you said, with 10 seconds of holding power on after pulling the power plug. It is the same aftewards. Cracks when starting, cracks when logging in, cracks every time audio is touched by any app and settings (also cracking by itself from time to time) | 19:08 |
| exell | OerHeks I'm having some issues, it wont mount anymore it shows on lsblk -f but it doesn't have a /media anymore? | 19:10 |
| exell | OerHeks this is through file manager error > An error occurred while accessing '1,009.8 GiB Removable Media', the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error creating mount point `/media/exell/72b28a6a-a645-4dfd-89e6-d87052a34006': Input/output error | 19:11 |

| ioria | exell, i mean: what's on that disk ? | 19:13 |
| exell | ioria correct, its an external hard drive mounted with ext4 it worked perfectly before but I done a system wipe and now could access (not anymore) but couldn't write to it | 19:13 |

| qwebirc72133 | ioria: do I have to configure the raid before? | 19:17 |

| ioria | exell, and /dev/sdc1 on 2 mountpoints ??? | 19:25 |
| ioria | exell, please paste your /etc/fstab | 19:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | nikolam: tab to each device and make sure all of them are set to MM (for mute, pressing m to toggle) Then, one by one un-mute a channel and test. If one of them starts to crackle when you have unmutted, it's because there is interferance on that channel. | 19:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | nikolam: Re-mute that channel and continue testing until you have tested all the channels. Then restore the settings the way they were when you started. Primary culprits are usually any channel with Mic in the name or Line Out | 19:28 |
| pragmaticenigma | nikolam: sorry, not tab, but arrow key... tabe switches pages | 19:29 |
| exell | ioria not ssd | 19:30 |

| tomreyn | Johan66: welcome to the ubuntu support channel. | 19:33 |
| exell | ioria can you help on how to paste /etc/fstab? | 19:33 |
| nikolam | pragmaticenigma, I have put everything in alsamixer to 0 and after that to mute (m key) . Cracking continue even if Master is muted and everything is muted. | 19:33 |

| pragmaticenigma | nikolam: Are there any other audio devices attached to the computer, other than the cable running to the speakers? | 19:34 |
| ioria | exell, ls -alR /media | nc termbin.com 9999 | 19:35 |
| nikolam | pragmaticenigma, not anymore, I had microphone but I disconnected and cracking continues. Cracking starts by software. | 19:35 |
| exell | ioria https://termbin.com/wwcq | 19:36 |
| nikolam | I only had ckacking before 19.04 when starting computer, therfore, I am thinking it is initializing sound more often now. | 19:36 |
| ioria | exell, something wrong | 19:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | nikolam: What you just described is a symptom of interferance... software has nothing to do with the cracking noises you hear. You have a faulty component in your computer and the circuitry in the sound card is picking it up. | 19:38 |
| nikolam | Motherboard is Asus P5W DH Deluxe , audio is intel integrated ICH7 | 19:38 |
| nikolam | pragmaticenigma, how you explain it is non-existent in 18.04 and 18.10 and cracking is there on 19.04 | 19:38 |
| exell | ioria would it be easier to just wipe the drive and start again, what partition format would be best for storing files (video / documents) from a linux box when I format the partition? | 19:38 |
| pragmaticenigma | nikolam: You just said it existed before when you would boot the computer. That means the OS has nothing to do with it | 19:39 |
| ioria | exell, you should have a lot of devices mounted on /media .. please paste 'mount' again | 19:39 |
| nikolam | I don't agree pragmaticenigma . I have also Btrfs snapshots of 18.04 I used for a very long time and 18.10 that upgraded through toward 19.04 . | 19:39 |
| nikolam | pragmaticenigma, it existed ONLY when starting OS. Not after that. | 19:40 |
| pragmaticenigma | nikolam: Then downgrade to 18.04 and see if the problem persists. | 19:40 |
| nikolam | Now it is there on every sound or just reading sound settings or anything with sound. And also from time to time if not any sound is used. | 19:40 |
| nikolam | pragmaticenigma, I can boot 18.04 again and 18.10 too again and report but I remember it like said. Ok, rebooting.. | 19:41 |
| tomreyn | ioria: i think those mounts with "uhelper=udisks2" option were mounted on demand / upon request / by the desktop environment. here's exell's mounts, consolidated: https://termbin.com/18zy | 19:41 |
| ioria | tomreyn, ok, but his /media directory is empty .... | 19:42 |
| ioria | totally | 19:42 |
| tomreyn | oh, i haven't seen that | 19:43 |
| tomreyn | actually exell just left | 19:43 |
| ioria | i see | 19:44 |
| exell | ioria... just gave a system reboot there to see what happens | 19:44 |
| ioria | ok | 19:44 |
| tomreyn | /dev/sdd1 was mounted on tpo off /media in the end, so if that's an empty file system, /media would seem empty- | 19:45 |
| tomreyn | *top | 19:45 |
| ioria | over-mounted maybe | 19:45 |
| tomreyn | yes | 19:45 |
| ioria | but it should automounts ... | 19:46 |
| tomreyn | what should automount where? | 19:46 |
| ioria | the external drive on /media/user | 19:46 |
| exell | im re-running, its going into all the subfolders (which are timeshift snapshots) and throwing 'permission denied' but its doing more stuff this time | 19:46 |
| tomreyn | can't mount to /media/user if there is (due to an empty FS mounted on /media) no /media/user | 19:47 |
| ioria | exell, let's do this, umount / disconnect all the drives except the sdd | 19:48 |
| exell | done.. but most drives are internal | 19:49 |
| exell | how can i take ownership of the drive as it was from previous install? | 19:49 |
| exell | i can't delete timeshift folder | 19:49 |
| ioria | exell, ls -alR /media | nc termbin.com 9999 again please | 19:50 |
| exell | ioria.. doing now, this might take a while... its going through loads of timeshift backups (and I cant delete the folder) and producing 'permission denied' | 19:51 |
| ioria | exell, really, i'am heading out but i'am sure tomreyn will help you solve this | 19:52 |
| tomreyn | hmm, i can try, but would need another summary. | 19:53 |

| eusid | I am having an issue with my firewire card. All of a sudden it will only play audio from one app at a time. I've resolved this in windows before but not familiar on Ubuntu. I've gotten the various tools pavucontrol and alsamixer and none of them provide the option I'm looking for. | 19:57 |
| tomreyn | exell: so what are you trying to achieve? | 19:57 |
| exell | tomreyn, the drive wont let me write to it, I can read but not write, but it eventually stopped working until I rebooted | 19:58 |
| eusid | The card is old so a hardware issue is not out of the question, but I find it really strange and the only way to change applications is to restart pulseaudio and alsa after closing the last app that was using sound. | 19:58 |
| shibboleth | why is ub still messing around with wpad 2.6? | 19:58 |
| shibboleth | 2.7 has been out since... looong time ago. wpad 2.6 is what broke mac randomization in xenial | 19:59 |

| shibboleth | wpa_supplicant | 20:00 |
| exell | tomreyn it was mounted on a previous install and will let me read but not write to it | 20:00 |
| shibboleth | even 19.04 has 2.6 | 20:00 |
| leftyfb | !latest | shibboleth | 20:00 |
| ubottu | shibboleth: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 20:00 |
| tomreyn | exell: so you're saying the ext4 file system on the first partition of sdc (/dev/sdc1), currently mounted at /media/exell/72b28a6a-a645-4dfd-89e6-d87052a34006 in readable and writable mode, is what you can't write to? | 20:01 |
| leftyfb | shibboleth: also, see #debian | 20:01 |
| exell | tomreyn yeah, cant move files / create folders / delete folders just doesn't work | 20:01 |
| tomreyn | exell: ls -ld /media/exell/72b28a6a-a645-4dfd-89e6-d87052a34006 | nc termbin.com 9999 | 20:03 |

| tomreyn | exell: id | nc termbin.com 9999 | 20:04 |
| exell | https://termbin.com/9gzd | 20:04 |
| tomreyn | exell: the directory /media/exell/72b28a6a-a645-4dfd-89e6-d87052a34006 is owned by user "root", group "root". others, like your user "excell", are allowed to read what's in there, but not to write to it. | 20:05 |
| exell | tomreyn makes sense, do you know how i can take ownership of it? | 20:06 |
| tomreyn | exell: you can either change who owns all (or some of) the things (files, directories,...) on this file system, or set them up to be allowed to be written to by anyone. | 20:06 |
| tomreyn | exell: if you'll take ownership of them, then only your user (and root) will be allowed to read + write, not anyone else, does this seem to make sense? | 20:07 |
| exell | tomreyn, yeah thats fine. Do you know how I could go about doing this? | 20:08 |
| tomreyn | exell: make very sure you copy and paste this properly: sudo chown -R exell:exell /media/exell/72b28a6a-a645-4dfd-89e6-d87052a34006/ | 20:09 |
| exell | tomreyn its working away, does that work with any drive? | 20:10 |
| tomreyn | exell: i don't want to give you a wholesale guarantee there that this would always be the right approach. ;-) | 20:13 |
| tomreyn | exell: also, the term "drive", to me, refers to a pyhsical storage, like a hard disk drive. however, what we just worked on is a file system, backed by a partition, backed by a partition table, backed by a physical drive. | 20:15 |
| exell | tomreyn, no worries, im learning more about linux every day. not bad for only 5 months :D | 20:16 |
| tomreyn | yes :) | 20:17 |
| tomreyn | exell: as you notice, linux file systems like ext4 can be a lot more picky about who may do what where than you may be used to from, say, ntfs, where, by default, except on the system drive, everyone can just write everywhere. that's mostly meant to increase security (which can help it a lot if handled properly). | 20:22 |
| tomreyn | this is also one of the more difficult things to learn when you're coming from a system which did not enforce file system permissions and ownerships much. | 20:23 |
| === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL | ||
| exell | tomreyn yeah, its just learning the commands, it's still working on the chown atm there are many files in the timeshift folders but I cant delete until I get ownership of them | 20:24 |
| tomreyn | exellhmm i have 0 experience with timeshift, hopefully the chown doesn't break the functionality | 20:26 |

| chakravanti | SO let's say I have a laptop I just replaced the disk on and have a USB slot that can connect to the old SSD. Both systems are encrypted over LUKS. For some reason the disks doesn't view it as viewable even though I have accurately decrypted it already. I think it's due to being ID'd the same as "/dev/ubuntu-vg/root" but IDK. Anyone got a clue how to mount it? Not really necessary just a pain to reboot half a | 21:38 |
| chakravanti | dozen times getting old files out which I'm sure I have just wanted to compare it like this to be sure. | 21:38 |
| ryuo | chakravanti: manual way. | 21:39 |
| ryuo | but it depends on how it was setup. | 21:40 |
| chakravanti | ryuo standard installs on both for encrypting. Didn't even arrange the partition specially | 21:42 |
| ryuo | that's greek to me, but you can try 'mount' if you can identify the device with the actual FS. | 21:43 |
| catbadger | leftyfb - dev didn't tell me php was in docker... smh | 21:45 |

| TJ- | chakravanti: are you saying there are two separate devices both having the same LVM VG name ? | 22:30 |
| chakravanti | TJ- right since they were both install by ubuntu the same way (standard LVM encryption via live USB, not even partition allocated specially) | 22:38 |
| tomreyn | chakravanti: the easy approach is to rename one of the volume groups, preferrably the one you don't need to boot from anymore (since renaming one you need to boot from would involve further steps) | 22:51 |
| tomreyn | chakravanti: the more complex approach is to use LVM UUIDs to specify LVs. sudo lvdisplay | grep -E 'LV (Path|UUID)'; file /dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-LVM-* | 22:52 |
| TJ- | chakravanti: as well as tomreyn's suggestion, you could add a 'tag' to one of them (via the underlying PV), and then use the tag as a selector for 'vgchange -ay [tag]' | 23:00 |
