| adrian_1908 | Could anyone who hasn't meddled with their GRUB config tell me what their GRUB_TIMEOUT value in `/etc/default/grub` is? | 01:03 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | adrian_1908: diff -u /usr/share/grub/default/grub /etc/default/grub | 01:04 |
| adrian_1908 | Unit193: thanks, it's 0 as I remembered (but couldn't quite believe). Is /usr/share/ a common location for program "factory" defaults, or is grub more of an exception? | 01:07 |
| Unit193 | adrian_1908: A little of both really. Usually /etc/default/* aren't also in /usr/share/, but I happen to know grub does do that, soo.. | 01:08 |
| adrian_1908 | I see, thanks for the quick help. | 01:08 |
| Unit193 | Sure thing. | 01:13 |
| Unit193 | Another cool feature, one can use drop-in snippets, such as /etc/default/grub.d/verbose.cfg | 01:14 |

| xubuntu74w | Hey, following this guide (http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/11/install-real-ubuntu-os-usb-drive/) I installed xUbuntu to a USB but whenever I go into my temp boot menu and boot from the Ubuntu option (with the USB drive inserted) it shows something about a tpm chip and than goes into emergency mode. Can someone help? | 02:05 |
| adrian_1908 | xubuntu74w: Maybe your system has restrictions set about booting from USB? You could check the BIOS for your settings. | 02:16 |
| xubuntu74w | adrian_1908 No in the past, I've been able to boot Linux lite off of a USB | 02:24 |
| xubuntu74w | Also, Secure boot is disabled | 02:24 |
| tomreyn | xubuntu74w: what is a "temp boot menu", how did you install to the usb storage? | 02:30 |
| tomreyn | it may also help to show the exact error message | 02:31 |
| xubuntu74w | tomreyn temp boot menu: Press enter on boot when prompted, press F12 and it takes me to a menu to select a device to boot from | 02:42 |
| xubuntu74w | I then choose ubuntu | 02:43 |
| tomreyn | oh you mean a boot menu provided by the mainboard firmware | 02:43 |
| xubuntu74w | Yeah | 02:44 |
| tomreyn | so it could be a broken installation, or something relating to the tpm or other hardware / firmware issue. | 02:46 |
| tomreyn | the exact error message may still help, or you could just verify the installer iso is complete and write it again, and verify that it was written properly. | 02:47 |
| xubuntu74w | that cant be right. If that was true than wouldn't windows not boot? and also in the past ive successfully installed and booted linux lite from usb | 02:47 |
| tomreyn | buggy firmware can cause some linux versions and distros not to boot fine when other OSs can boot. but so far my guess is rather with a broken installer. | 02:49 |
| xubuntu74w | So just reflash the live usb? | 02:50 |
| tomreyn | after verifying that the iso download is not corrupt, and before verifying the data written to the usb isn't | 02:51 |
| Bashing-om | xubuntu74w: As tomreyn surmisses; verify the write: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck | 02:51 |
| xubuntu74w | When flashing it, I used balinaetcher which has a verify function. but I guess ill be right back. | 02:53 |
| xubuntu74w | Ok the media was checked and it said everything was fine | 02:59 |
| xubuntu66w | Hello, i have a question. I want add multi user system in OS. When user(not admin) install any software, admin will write sudo password from admin account. | 05:43 |
| xubuntu66w | User account also have password but it only for login in system | 05:45 |

| Noboru55 | Hello everybody | 21:54 |
| Noboru55 | I was playing supertuxkart, so i took a nap, and when i back i tried to open a pendrive, but nothing happened, so i decided to reboot the system | 21:54 |
| Noboru55 | but, when reboot, i got screen (initramfs) | 21:54 |
| Noboru55 | could do nothing, only a message saying something like a unxpected erro in my sda1 | 21:55 |
| Noboru55 | so i typed fsck /dev/sda1 and there i just did type Y to all | 21:55 |
| Noboru55 | now i am back to my Xubuntu | 21:55 |
| Noboru55 | is there someway to see what happened ? | 21:55 |
| Noboru55 | before the reboot i saw i could not open the partition sda2 (mybackup) too... the system was kind.. out.. not freezy | 21:56 |
| Noboru55 | i do not know, logs.. or see if something could be broken after the fsck | 21:57 |
| Noboru55 | brainwash the o.s got little broken, the chromium doesn't :D | 22:02 |
| Noboru55 | still works very well, but a few seconds ago got a update | 22:02 |
| Noboru55 | i guess the pendrive when mount maybe mess the sda1 do not know | 22:05 |
| Noboru55 | ok, at least it is working... | 22:06 |
