[00:21] oerheks how long does dd normally take? [00:21] source is 240GB, target is 120GB, partitions on source only add up to 81GB [00:21] both drives are SSD's [00:27] stan_man_can: without the option "bs=50M" it is transferring data 512 bytes at a time [00:28] stan_man_can: usually we add "bs=50M" (blocksize=50 Megabytes) because that is how much it'll read in one operation so is much faster than reading just 512 bytes at a time [00:28] ah [00:28] just finished anyays [00:28] but didn't work [00:28] i got an error that it ran out of disk space, in gparted the destination drive shows it all as unallocated [00:28] with a (!) [00:29] TJ- any clue how I can make this work? [00:30] stan_man_can: show us "pastebinit <( sudo gdisk -l ; lsblk )" [00:30] say I want to have multiple IP addresses for the same ethernet adapter (eth0), all configured with DHCP - what is the ip command do I need to use ? ip link add ...? [00:32] TJ- "Problem opening -l for reading" [00:33] hehehe oops lets try again [00:33] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/chpHV78RKf/ [00:33] still output that but [00:34] stan_man_can: show us "pastebinit <( sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda; sudo gdisk -l /dev/sdb; lsblk )" [00:35] stan_man_can: is this the target (destination)? " sdb 8:16 0 111.8G 0 disk " [00:35] TJ- https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jTNWxH2dXH/ [00:35] TJ- yeah, source is sda, target is sdb [00:36] stan_man_can: ok, lets create partitions on sdb to take the partitions from sda [00:38] stan_man_can: show me "pastebinit <( sudo sgdisk --info 1 --info 2 /dev/sda )" [00:39] TJ- https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GhnpWpDNdq/ [00:43] stan_man_can: OK, we'll replicate the same partitions on sdb with "sudo sgdisk --new=1:0:+1048576 --new=2:0:+167772160 /dev/sdb" then tell the OS about the new partitions with "sudo partprobe /dev/sdb" -- check p1 and p2 have appeared with "grep sdb /proc/partitions" [00:45] TJ- http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hPqTCvYK8Z/ [00:47] stan_man_can: good... now lets copy! "for n in 1 2; do sudo dd if=/dev/sda$n of=/dev/sdb$n bs=500M status=progress conv=fdatasync,fsync ; done" [00:47] bs=500M or 50M? [00:48] stan_man_can: 500M --- bigger is better and faster [00:48] stan_man_can: especially with SSDs [00:49] kk [00:49] it's chugging away at about 400MB/s :) [00:49] way faster than the 42 minutes the last one took [00:49] lol [00:50] TJ- once this is done, apparently i have to do somethign to fix grub? [00:51] stan_man_can: I came in late but I presume you'll have to create a chroot and install grub again to sdb [00:51] you lost me at chroot [00:51] lol [00:51] stan_man_can: Can I presume that partition 1 contains /boot/ ? [00:52] i think so? how do I check [00:52] stan_man_can: well its only 512M so that'd make sense, it won't be the 80GiB partition! [00:52] yeah when i check in disk utility it has boot,esp flags [00:53] ahh so NOT /boot/ but the EFI-SP good job you told me that! [00:53] stan_man_can: are you going to remove sda before trying to boot this with sdb ? [00:53] yes [00:53] how do correct removing preinstalled libreoffice from ubuntu 18.04 ? [00:54] i want to install new version [00:56] TJ- in gparted I right clicked on tthat first partition and said "manag eflags" and checked off boot and esp and it applied them, not sure if that's good or bad, i thought i could click "cancel" but it applied them right away [00:56] just go to 'ubuntu software', make search 'libreoffice' and uninstall all installed in any order ? [00:58] fd2: or in a shell do: " sudo apt remove $( apt list libreoffice* --installed 2>/dev/null | tail -n +2 | sed 's,/.*,,' ) " [00:58] stan_man_can: that is fine [00:58] stan_man_can: you'll need to tell the PC's firmware to boot from sdb now using efibootmgr [01:00] stan_man_can: check what the PC currently has with "pastebinit <( efibootmgr -v )" [01:01] TJ- https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bmgZQ2mdpH/ [01:02] stan_man_can: so 87 and 89 are the current boot entries for Ubuntu it looks like [01:03] kk [01:03] stan_man_can: oh, and 0000 has the Secure Boot entry [01:04] TJ-, thx [01:04] stan_man_can: I'm presuming those are on sda based on the GUIDs from earlier [01:04] ok [01:04] stan_man_can: are you going to remove sda from the system, or wipe the existing file-systems from it? [01:04] i'll disconnect it first and if everything is working i'll be wiping it and moving it to a different computer [01:05] stan_man_can: we have to be careful here since you've got a clone it'll have the same GUIDs as the original which will confuse the system and OS [01:05] stan_man_can: disconnection is good - then only the 'new' drive will have the GUIDs [01:06] kk [01:06] stan_man_can: so you need to 'install' the new instance via grub-install [01:06] stan_man_can: has the cloning ending? [01:06] dd is done yeah [01:06] stan_man_can: in which case we need to create a chroot (change root) to do the install [01:10] stan_man_can: OK: "sudo mkdir /target && sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /target && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /target/boot/efi && for n in proc sys dev; do sudo mount --rbind /$n /target/$n; done && sudo chroot /target mount -a && sudo chroot /target grub-install /dev/sdb && sudo chroot /target update-grub && sudo umount --lazy --recursive /target{proc,sys,dev,boot/efi,} " [01:10] TJ- haha [01:10] dang [01:11] that's one hell of a string [01:12] TJ- https://kopy.io/kDuxY [01:12] got an error [01:13] stan_man_can: ah! you've an entry in the /etc/fstab for a mount at /tv that the system cannot find [01:14] stan_man_can: I'll revise the command from where it stopped [01:14] TJ- that might make sense, i manually added i think two entries to fstab [01:14] /tv and /movies [01:15] stan_man_can: here we go: " sudo chroot /target grub-install /dev/sdb && sudo chroot /target update-grub && sudo umount --lazy --recursive /target{proc,sys,dev,boot/efi,} " [01:19] stan_man_can: you might also need to delete those boot entries we saw (0000, 0087, 0089) but we should check what is there first with "pastebinit <( efibootmgr -v )" [01:19] TJ- uh, everything broke now [01:19] stan_man_can: uhoh [01:19] and windows are all crashing so i couldn't even share the output of the command [01:19] i think something a bout proc syss dev boot not found or something [01:21] TJ- i can't open terminal or firefox [01:21] stan_man_can: actually that is weird, since I typo-ed and it would have failed [01:21] maybe the failure caused unintentional behaviour [01:22] not sure what to do since I can't even open up terminal, i guess I have to reboot and hope it comes back okay? [01:22] reboot to the live usb again* [01:22] stan_man_can: how are you using IRC? [01:22] different computer [01:22] stan_man_can: oh! are you connected to the other PC via ssh then? [01:22] i've been swiveling back and forward the whole time [01:23] stan_man_can: I thought you were copy/pasting my commands! [01:23] i was [01:23] stan_man_can: OK phew! [01:23] copied into a pastebin [01:23] saved [01:23] swivel, visit the url, copy it and paste into terminal [01:23] and then repeat the process to share the output with you :P [01:23] stan_man_can: right, on the 'broken' PC press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to tty2 and login [01:24] stan_man_can: If you're using the liveISO the username will be "ubuntu" with empty password [01:24] TJ- all i get now is a blinking underscore cursor top left [01:24] no login prompt or anything [01:24] stan_man_can: tap a key [01:24] i tried [01:24] stan_man_can: ok, try Alt+F1 [01:24] back to desktop [01:25] stan_man_can: hmmm, it's supposed to start spare ttys [01:25] yeah i have a feeling something is seriously borked right now [01:25] stan_man_can: try Alt+F2 to get the command-run dialog [01:26] y eah got that [01:26] stan_man_can: ok, lets see if we can restart the desktop! "systemctl restart display-manager" -- this may fail or you may get a password prompt [01:27] nothing happened [01:27] stan_man_can: are you using the regular "Ubuntu" liveISO ? we could also try relaunching "gnome-terminal" from that dialog [01:27] yeah just the regular download [01:27] ok, try "gnome-terminal" then [01:27] just gnome-terminal or systemctl restart? [01:28] just "gnome-terminal" [01:28] stan_man_can: if this works you might have the terminal again [01:28] no change [01:28] stan_man_can: ok... best to reboot the LiveISO then so we regain stability [01:29] stan_man_can: although... at this point I suspect /dev/sdb WOULD boot if you remove sda [01:29] stan_man_can: the error was in the unmount so won't affect the install [01:29] TJ- tried to shutdown and have a bunch of errors [01:30] last one is [ *** ] (2 of 3) A start job is running for Wait until snapd is fully seeeed (23s / nolimit) [01:30] the other ones are talking about ACPI BIOS Error [01:31] TJ- should i just hard restart it? [01:31] stan_man_can: press Ctrl+Alt+F2 again ... then press and hold down Alt+SysRq, release SysRq, then press and release in turn R E I S U B [01:32] SysRq? [01:32] usually its on the PrtScrn key [01:32] kk [01:32] or close to it... in the dark here can't see it :D [01:33] this "waiting for seed" thing was an issue in snapd ~nine days ago -- when did you download this image? [01:33] sarnold: PRNG ? [01:33] sarnold i downloaded it like 3 hours ago [01:34] TJ-: no, not /dev/random stuff; from the discussion a while ago, "the seed is what preinstalls snaps" [01:35] sarnold: and is breaking on live env? [01:35] stan_man_can: if you don't make much progress, you could try #snappy as well and ask if they have fixed images yet [01:35] TJ- alright [01:35] stan_man_can: at this stage a hard reboot is in order [01:35] it's back up again [01:35] the REISUB thing worked [01:35] stan_man_can: yay [01:36] stan_man_can: did you boot to the LiveISO or into sdb ? [01:36] LiveISO [01:36] sda and sdb are still both plugged in [01:36] stan_man_can: you should remove that 'sda' and see if you can boot it to the 'sdb' [01:36] TJ- so just shut down, remove sda, and boot back up? [01:36] stan_man_can: in theory it should be able to, but we can check just before you try if you want [01:36] do I need to do anything in bios? [01:36] stan_man_can: "pastebinit <( efibootmgr -v )" [01:37] stan_man_can: the 'new' sdb install should now be the default *if* the earlier grub-install /de/sdb worked [01:37] /dev/sdb even [01:38] TJ- https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MqMTjF7kFN/ [01:39] stan_man_can: try removing sda and a reboot without the USB LiveISO connected [01:43] TJ- looks like it's working! [01:43] thank you SO much for the help! [01:43] stan_man_can: you're welcome [01:44] :) [01:44] +rep TJ- [01:44] dang, worth a try [01:54] !cookie | TJ- [01:54] TJ-: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [01:56] * genii tries not to eat TJ-'s cookie [01:58] !coffee | genii [01:59] plenty to go around for all :) [01:59] * TJ- needs to head off to bed - almost 02:00 here [01:59] yay, 03:00 [01:59] oerheks: :D [02:00] 22:00 === abq1 is now known as abq [02:44] !20.10 [02:44] I'm trying to build kernel 4.11.12 (from git) with: fakeroot debian/rules binary [02:44] Is that not correct? [02:45] It gives me a compile error :/ [02:45] usbip_common.c:220:21: error: '%d' directive writing between 1 and 3 bytes into a region of size between 0 and 31 [-Werror=format-overflow=] [02:45] sprintf(busid, "%s:%d.%d", udev->busid, udev->bConfigurationValue, i); [02:46] grab the old 2017 kernel here? https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.11.12/ [02:47] really, i would not suggest to do that, you must have a reason [02:47] I rather compile it myself because I think I'll need to make changes. [02:48] 4.11 is not a supported kernel for Ubuntu; it does not get patched by Canonical , !hwe gives 4.15 === zbenjamin is now known as Guest35985 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:48] Great. [02:48] good luck! [02:48] I bought hardware that arrives tomorrow and THEY only support that hardware up till 4.11 [02:49] So, if I want to get support from the hardware vendor I have to run 4.11. [02:49] Once I get it to work with that kernel, I can look at if it works at newer kernels. [02:51] oerheks: anyway, if you look at the url you just pasted; it is what I am using. At the top it says which git to use and which tag, and then three patches that need to be applied. [02:52] So, I did all that - but I can't find anywhere how to build the kernel. [02:52] Pretend I'm asking this for 4.15. [02:53] https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15.18/ [02:53] Exactly the same. [02:53] Same git, different tag, a few patches. And then? [02:59] or grab old ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) that have 4.10 kernel from archive to install? [03:02] My wireless doesnt function. I tried to replace drivers. Search reveals problems. Does anyone have a good way to replace the drivers. THanks. (18.04 HP Probook RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter) [03:03] Realtek [03:05] will look in later and reask. [03:08] Aleric: You could do as IcemanV9 suggests, then pin the kernel packages to 4.11, then upgrade to 17.10, then to 18.04. But since both 17.04 and 17.10 are long EOL already you have to mess with sources.list to point to old-releases repository [03:09] !pinning [03:09] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [03:14] For now I just installed the .deb's is there any reason to think that won't work? [03:14] The main reason I want to be able to compile it myself is so I can start hacking the driver. [03:15] ought to work just fine. [03:15] provided that your userspace doesn't rely on anything that has changed. i doubt it has [03:16] Aleric: The debs from the mainline repository should work fine to install an older kernel [03:16] If the hardware (PEXUSB3S44V) works under 4.11 (and if it doesn't I'll get support from Startech) and not under 5.5.9 - then I could do a binary search for the commit(s) that cause that... IF I can compile the kernel myself :/ [03:17] a git bisect thus [03:17] I presume my compiler is too new hence it gives this error... [03:18] I bet the kernel is normally build in some chroot - but that isn't documented anywhere grr :/ [03:32] Aleric: could always try a distro build around compiling whatever you need if you really have to customize the system to fit your hardware. don't mean to pry so feel free to ignore: what sorta hardware did you pick up that requires 4.11 in order for support? [03:32] s/build/built [03:34] nt0: They stated PEXUSB3S44V which seems to be a 4 port USB3 PCIe card [03:37] hory shet. that seems like commodity hw that ought to work well enough on anything with some tweaking. i figured it'd be something like a complete system tailor-made for a use case and only supported by the vendor. [03:39] i'm pretty ignorant. how often do kernel changes cause support regressions on hardware that isn't 20+ years old? [03:40] That card debuted in 2017 when 4.11 was latest kernel. Later ones probably have no issue, I'd suspect they just haven't updated the sales page for it. [03:41] Aleric: ^^^ [03:43] maybe it's a symptom of having played around with operating systems for over a decade but i never even look at what is "supported" unless i have trouble. if there's trouble i don't look to the manuf's website unless they are known for their *nix customer support [03:44] how secure is the default build of ubuntu 18? Is there anything a noob needs to know or do if he is going to expose his box to the internet? === Peppi^ is now known as Peppi [03:45] Peppi^, there are some really good guides that can be Googl'd. At a minimum, I read up on UFW and unattended updates [03:45] !virus | Peppi [03:45] Peppi: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using Samba). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [03:46] Bashing-om, who said anything about a virus? [03:46] Peppi: don't use port 22 for ssh if you plan to use ssh. plenty more but that'll save you some disk space [03:47] nt0: I have my router exposed on port 22 so this box will not have 22 open [03:47] Peppi: why router exposed on 22? [03:48] nt0: I plan on having maybe a minecraft server and nextcloud installed on the box. So a few ports will be open but not 22 [03:48] nt0, uhmm good question, in my life I found moving it off 22 was more trouble then it was worth [03:49] if someone is going to attack you they will scan all your ports [03:49] for the general audience: i was young and naive and forwarded port 22 to a VM so that i could ssh via a dynamic DNS thing. turns out that bots aplenty target 22 without scanning [03:49] Peppi, consider things like public keys and fail2ban then at least... [03:49] Mordoc, yes it uses public keys [03:50] Mordoc, fail2ban... I'm not sure... I'll have to check that [03:50] Peppi, sounds like you got this in hand then. Happy Minecrafting! [03:50] Mordoc, no no not at all [03:50] simply forwarding 22 to a VM generated more than 5gb of logfiles for failed ssh login attempts [03:50] Mordoc, I have ssh covered on my router. I'm an noob on ubuntu [03:51] Peppi, the docs on fail2ban are somewhat cryptic but there are some good howtos. It's a service that block repeated failed attempts to connect to your SSH port. [03:52] re: 5gb logs.. it took only a day or two. there are scripts out there attempting ssh login on that port across the entire net. lots of them. i noticed the diskspace taken up by the logs and was shocked at how many bots were active. [03:52] Mordoc, I'm using an Odroid HC2 for my minecraft and nextcloud server. The HC2 is using some "custom" ubuntu 18.x version [03:52] Peppi, as long as it has apt for package management, you should be fine. [03:52] Mordoc, it does [03:53] Mordoc, but I've only gotten as far as installing ubuntu. Everything is default including the username and password [03:53] Mordoc, I'm just wondering out of the box how secure is ubuntu? [03:53] nt0: That card seems to be going for about $160, I think I'd send it back and get a Vantec UGT-PCE430-4C which has exact same features, works on all 4 and 5 series kernels so far with full UASP and 5Gbps for half that amount [03:53] Aleric: ^^ [03:55] does anyone know what vulnerabilities a minecraft server has? Should I be worried is it safe to expose to the net? [03:55] how about nextcloud? [03:56] Hello, would this be the appropriate forum to ask a question about a snap package? [03:56] Peppi, an update to date box is *fairly* secure. I'd always enable UFW, unattended updates, and use public keys for ssh you'd be better than a far number of servers on the net. [03:57] Peppi, sorry meant to say an up to date box... [03:59] Hi, I'm using 18.04 recently upgraded from 16.04. In 16.04 if I had two wifi adapters it was really easy to configure them separately but in 18.04 I'm finding it difficult. They both want to connect to the same AP and I want one of them to not connect to anything, but there's no option to disable one adapter, only to disable wifi in general [03:59] ok are there any know vulnerabilities for a nexctloud server? The box will not have port 22 open just whatever minecraft and nextcloud uses. [03:59] and there's also no "disconnect but stay enabled" option [04:00] Peppi: security? https://www.archive.ece.cmu.edu/~ganger/712.fall02/papers/p761-thompson.pdf [04:00] Peppi: a rebuttal: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2006/01/countering_trus.html [04:01] interesting read for anybody who likes computing for its own sake. [04:01] Peppi: nt0 maybe you could move this discussion to #ubuntu-discuss lets keep the channel free for our ubuntu support users [04:02] lotuspsychje: aye, agreed. sorry. hopefully the security stuff helps some real-world cases that happen to hop in. unlikely but nonzero! [04:03] bkurt78: Sure, you can ask here about snap packages. [04:03] lotuspsychje, wait my question is ubuntu support no? [04:04] Peppi: ubuntu questions are fine, but please for yourself keep a line between support vs discussion [04:04] I'm currently using the Makemkv snap package and the program is hitting a fatal error when ripping a certain disc. Some research online indicates that it is probably due to the fact that its using an old version of java to handle some playlist obfuscation. However, I can't find a way to allow the Makemkv application use a different version of [04:04] java that is installed. I'm assuming its a confinement issue, but maybe I'm wrong. [04:04] lotuspsychje, understood [04:05] Bashing-om: Thanks! [04:08] I'm over on Xubuntu, but my issue seems focused on the layer Xubuntu is on. I'm having full-on freezes without an exact reason and checking journalctl after such a crash doesn't lead to a conclusion. For example, the last thing that has happened last boot was Anacron finishing, second to last was a login from myself. [04:09] bkurt78: report your bug at the maintainer: contact: https://github.com/diddlesnaps/makemkv/issues [04:09] bkurt78: Over my head also - but hang loose here - perhaps others here have the greater experience. [04:10] Will do. [04:10] Plus the crashes tend to be random. Last time it just happened when I looked away a moment to do something on my phone, other times when unattended so I'm stumped. [04:27] kern.log comes up with nothing. Just my logitec stuff being recognized. [04:38] hi all. I am trying to install ubuntu to an encrypted root partition (/boot is separate unencrypted, / is encrypted with cryptsetup luks). I managed to install ubuntu to the encrypted partition but I'm having trouble setting up a password prompt to decrypt on boot. I have tried adding an entry to /etc/crypttab and running update-initramfs but I get a couple of errors: [04:38] "cryptsetup: WARNING: Invalid source device UUID={uuid copy-pasted from /etc/fstab}" and "Warning: couldn't identify filesystem type for fsck hook, ignoring" [04:39] I couldn't find what could cause these errors so I'm a little lost on house to proceed [04:39] *how [04:40] I've done something similar to this before, and I know I've done this because I've reused a LUKS protected LVM. [04:40] But I'm having issues remembering the exact incantation. [04:42] I didn't use LVM... (maybe its not relevant). The UUID I used is the one associated with the actual partition (/dev/sda5 -> /dev/mapper/cryptroot), so I used the uuid from /dev/sda5 output by blkid. Does that sound right? [04:45] I haven't put a filesystem directly behind encryption but I'd imagine it be similar. I'm checking a wiki article at the moment. [04:46] This is how my laptop is configured if you are curious: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5v5v7WdcCY/ [04:48] Wait, are you able to boot into the install or is it always coming up with that error whenever you try? [04:48] Just for clarity. [04:49] I haven't completed the setup yet. I booted with a live usb, opened up terminal and setup the encrypted partition and mounted it using cryptsetup. Then I installed ubuntu and haven't restarted yet, I am trying to configure /etc/crypttab so i get a password prompt [04:49] otherwise ubuntu doesnt know about the encrypted partition so booting it wouldnt work [04:50] Peek at this while I check something on my laptop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_2019#Post-Installation_Steps [04:51] will take a look [04:53] I'm having trouble with unexpectedly poor performance in 3d games on a dell xps 13 with intel integrated graphics. I can't find much in the way of wiki or forum information about this sort of situation newer than 4-5 years old. Are there specific resources I should be looking for/at about this? [04:59] Ah okay your configuration is different than mine. My /boot partition was left encrypted which explains why it's easier for me. [05:01] my boot partition is also unencrypted (im assuming from what you posted only root/swap/home/development are encrypted) [05:04] Yeah root/swap/home/development are only encrypted. You can pick your own partitioning scheme: it's your system. Mine happens to be allocating space as needed and spinning up partitions for one-offs or purpose-built reasons. [05:04] But I'm looking through the guide to spark something in my mind. [05:06] intel-gpu-overlay says 0% render load even when a 3d game like autonauts or skyrim is running and very slow [05:15] I keep getting logged out of my ssh session with the message: packet_write_wait: Connection to UNKNOWN port 0: broken pipe, Shared connection to closed. Any idea what is happening? I have to log back in and then all my TMUX sessions are killed so it is an annoyance. [05:28] canurabus, Still with us? Spooled up a VM so I can experiment since I'm puzzled. [05:32] how to make all .py files executable in the folder? 'sudo chmod -R -a+x folder/*.py' ? [05:41] hi all === z4kst4r1 is now known as z4kst4r [06:47] how to make all .py files executable in the folder? 'sudo chmod -R -a+x folder/*.py' ? [06:49] fd2, I don't think you'd need sudo if the files are own by you. And I assume you have good reason to, but yeah, generally that'll be the command. [06:51] Alternatively you can just use `python /path/to/script.py` [07:18] CarlenWhite, thanks! [07:22] lotuspsychje: i couldn't find man page for switcheroo but there is option to choose card on right click context menu.. thank you [07:26] CarlenWhite, i executed script, but for sub folder it didn't work. then i 'cd folder' and 'chmod -R -a+x *.py'. files in that folder became exec. but in subfolder - none. why? i used '-R' [07:29] 'chmod -R -a+x *.py' the '-' before 'a' - error. i executed command without it [07:33] Hi, I need some advice, so i bought a M.2 drive and plugged it in but didnt work on ubuntu, had to install windows to recognise that drive and get it to work now that drive is ntfs and i wanna install windows side by side ubuntu .. can i install this on a ntfs partition?? will it work fine or will i have trouble later?? [07:33] i am going to sleep. don't answer. good time [07:34] ? [07:36] cixx: ok great, but did you solve your crashes and such? [07:40] stupid question but when you run a command in the CLI do you use an & at the end to run applications in the background? Or how do you run applications in the background using the CLI? [07:41] for example would I type jave foobar.jar & or something to make it so I can continue to use the CLI? [07:42] lotuspsychje: solved some errors with https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/For-AMD-users-having-issues-with-non-OpenGL-games [07:43] but there are acpi errors already [07:43] cixx: try to update your bios as latest possible too [07:44] cixx: was your cpu ryzen too?
