[01:03] <adrian_1908> Could anyone who hasn't meddled with their GRUB config tell me what their GRUB_TIMEOUT value in `/etc/default/grub` is?
[01:04] <Unit193> adrian_1908: diff -u /usr/share/grub/default/grub /etc/default/grub
[01:07] <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?
[01:08] <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.
[01:13] <Unit193> Sure thing.
[01:14] <Unit193> Another cool feature, one can use drop-in snippets, such as /etc/default/grub.d/verbose.cfg
[02:05] <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?
[02:16] <adrian_1908> xubuntu74w: Maybe your system has restrictions set about booting from USB? You could check the BIOS for your settings.
[02:24] <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
[02:30] <tomreyn> xubuntu74w: what is a "temp boot menu", how did you install to the usb storage?
[02:31] <tomreyn> it may also help to show the exact error message
[02:42] <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
[02:43] <xubuntu74w> I then choose ubuntu
[02:43] <tomreyn> oh you mean a boot menu provided by the mainboard firmware
[02:44] <xubuntu74w> Yeah
[02:46] <tomreyn> so it could be a broken installation, or something relating to the tpm or other hardware / firmware issue.
[02:47] <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
[02:49] <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.
[02:50] <xubuntu74w> So just reflash the live usb?
[02:51] <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
[02:53] <xubuntu74w> When flashing it, I used balinaetcher which  has a verify function. but I guess ill be right back.
[02:59] <xubuntu74w> Ok the media was checked and it said everything was fine
[05:43] <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.
[05:45] <xubuntu66w> User account also have password but it only for login in system
[21:54] <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)
[21:55] <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 ?
[21:56] <Noboru55> before the reboot i saw i could not open the partition sda2 (mybackup) too... the system was kind.. out.. not freezy
[21:57] <Noboru55> i do not know, logs.. or see if something could be broken after the fsck
[22:02] <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
[22:05] <Noboru55> i guess the pendrive when mount maybe mess the sda1  do not know
[22:06] <Noboru55> ok, at least it is working...
