[00:03] Bashing-om, do you perhaps have an article on shrinking partitions, too? [00:08] SomethingGeneric: See: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/display-doc.php?name=help-manual . [00:08] Thanks! [00:09] SomethingGeneric: Also there is: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GParted [00:51] Hi all has anyone ever managed to get a usb to hdmi adapter to work in Ubuntu? [00:51] From manufacturer Fresco Logic === zbenjamin is now known as Guest84365 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:11] Or in general [01:23] Why does echo `find .` show new lines, even without echo -e ? Whereas echo "abc\ndef" without -e, won't show new lines? [01:27] barg how are you formatting that? [01:28] $ echo `find .` [01:28] contrast with $ echo "abc\ndef" [01:29] I'm trying to output a service log with: "journalctl -u myservice > myservice.log" [01:29] but I'm only getting part of the output [01:29] how can I get all of it? [01:30] barg: try "echo $(find .)" ? [01:30] sorry for being late [01:30] Hey, coming from the #debian IRC, but seems to be a bit quiet atm. I'm facing a small issue on an install I have where there isn't a kernel nor initramfs in /boot, thus whenever I boot from my hard drive on my server I get stuck with the grub menu. Anyone know the fix for this? I'm ssh'd into the livecd which is already chrooted into the problem server [01:31] and here is the paste from /boot: https://bpa.st/DTZQ [01:31] SomethingGeneric: that also shows new lines. [01:31] even though the echo is without -e [01:31] That's really strange. Hang on one sec [01:32] hehehe [01:32] barg, i take back my advice. "echo $(find .)" is probably just making your whole script worse [01:32] what's the bigger context of what you're using it for? [01:33] just that [01:33] trying to understand what's going on [01:34] unfortunatley i can't reproduce bc when i try "echo `find .`" i just get one giant block [01:34] why wrap "find" in an "echo" ? [01:35] does mark shuttleworth still pay for ubuntu development? [01:41] SomethingGeneric: you could do it on a small directory with just a few files. What if you do echo `find .` (no double quotes) [01:41] barg i was just using the double quotes to let u see what i was doing. wasn't actually inputting them [01:41] but no, it's all one block of text for me [01:42] again, why wrap "find ." in echo at all? [01:43] to test echo [01:43] Ah. [01:44] I think the way I'd do that would be "for f in $(find .); do echo $f; done", but I know that's an un-necesary loop [01:45] https://gist.github.com/gartha1/fa3d06cd0529a71572f94c9a0a365c5b [01:45] i'm wondering why it'd be different for you [01:45] can you share a gisthub link? [01:45] yep. one sec [01:45] thanks [01:45] including the ubuntu version, thanks [01:46] like i did that lsb_release -a command.. also on a small directory [01:46] if you have no sound except for the occasional loud pops, and the sound sometimes work and sometimes doesn't, what should you do? it's hard to google for. all the obvious stuff is sorted, pulse audio looks fine, new kernel, etc etc [01:46] oh damn i see.. [01:46] i had IFS=',' [01:46] https://gist.github.com/SomethingGeneric/37f8aafb7b4082e538c3735a7fb95ac0 [01:46] when i unset IFS, then I get it in a block [01:46] ^ barg [01:46] thanks [01:48] now unset IFS so should be like yours. Interestingly echo -e `find .` still shows it in a block. [01:56] hi, im trying to install the latest ubuntu in my desktop. i made a bootable pendrive using rufus. but i get this error while running: 'SYSLINUX 6.04 EDD 6.04-pre1 Copyright (C) 1994-2015 H.

[02:09] Is Ubuntu-Mate considered an Offical Ubuntu Flavor? [02:11] !flavors | nf9c : yup :) [02:11] nf9c : yup :): Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours [02:14] ok thanks @bashing-om for the reply [02:14] nf9c: :D Help is what we do. [02:17] Had a bit of a struggle getting on here, not being used to HexChat but found the password field making getting my registered nickname recognized [02:18] :) [02:19] Does any monitor the ubuntu unregistered side of this chat room to help in situations like mine had [02:19] i not been able to figure out how to log in? [02:21] !register | nf9c [02:21] nf9c: For information on registering your IRC nick, see https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration - For any further help, ask in #freenode. [02:24] like I said my nick is registered I am here otherwise apparently I wouldn't be. What I was struggling with at the beginning getting into this chatroom was getting the chatroom to recognize my registered nickname. I kept getting switched to my secondary user id choice because the first choice was already registerd...by me [02:26] Luckily in hexchat I found the password field to put in my password had I not found that field I probably never would have gotten into this chat room lol [02:28] It's been years since I have joined or been apart of any kind of online chat room board. Glad to know that they still exist that people still use them. [02:35] nf9c: oh yeah. Long live IRC. [02:37] Lots of joins/parts in this channel. Just had to turn them off. [02:38] if you want to mention specifically someone here what is the best way to do so, so that, that person notices the comment? [02:42] !tab | nf9c [02:42] nf9c: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

Only been working with Linux OS's for about 2 weeks now [02:47] nf9c: Once you get over the Windows mind-set you will be surprised how easy linux is :D [02:48] does new ubuntu distro come with gcc 10?

I actually have done things the hard way with getting multiple Linxus OS's setup I physically partitioned a 1TB hd to install the os's so far I have like 6 or 7 of them. 4 of them being different flavors of Ubuntu [02:54] *Linux's [02:54] nf9c: And you are learning a lot about grub - (GR)and (U)nified (B)ootloader :) [02:55] ok, so is installing gcc 10 trivial? [02:57] @Bashing-om yep that's for sure I have installed a graphical bootloader manager because grub itself only supports like 5 linux + Windows for booting and I have surpassed that LOL [03:41] hi [03:41] I'm copying from one USB hard drive to another, and the rate is so pitifully slow... why??? I'm measuring it with atop, and it's just.. like.. under 3 MB/s [03:42] how can I see which USB level the devices ar econnected at? maybe I connected one of them to a usb2 port?? [04:04] I want a notes program, simple more than just text processer that will make clickable links. What is a good basic one (like the Mac has had for over a decade...) === Israphel is now known as Guest4281 === Israphel_ is now known as Israphel === Grldfrdom_ is now known as Grldfrdom [05:04] Roey i've always wondered that too; each time i ask about it, most people say: each usb level will gravitate near it's limits, it should be obvious which it is because it's close to what it always is for that level. [05:04] ah [05:04] in my case it was becauas I had accidentally connected the target usb drive to usb2. [05:04] :P [05:06] i have badly labelled USB ports. apparently somethign to do with colours of the plastic is supposed to tell you something. i have yet to learn which colours mean what. [05:08] doesn't make much sense to me when the ports are on the desktop's case.. they all look the same. [05:11] hi! i installed "pandoc" to my machine. how can i find out where it is located? [05:12] locate pandoc [05:12] does not give me a result [05:52] Starship809: which pandoc === Grldfrdom is now known as Grldfrdom_ [06:21] I'm having trouble with snap refresh: invalid credentials: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CQjjZ6fyfr/ [06:22] Any suggestions on how to get it working again? [06:23] davido_: run it with sudo [06:24] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tCsdh7QfPt/ [06:25] (same message) [06:26] ecbrown i got that one fixed [06:26] thanks [06:27] now, i am tryint to convert from HTML to pdf with pandoc. when i execute this line from the shell as root, it works: /usr/bin/pandoc --from=html -s -S -o /tmp/pandoc5eb79dda21cac.pdf /tmp/pandoc5eb79dda21cac [06:27] when i execute it from php, it does not work. [06:27] whereas html to docx does work from php [06:28] i suspect that my apache user does not have permission to all dependecies required for PDF conversion [06:28] unfortunately, php's exec() does not really help me in terms of error message [06:28] how can i simulate "being the webserver" inside the shell? [06:31] i tried, sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/pandoc --from=html -s -S -o /tmp/pandoc5eb79dda21cac.pdf /tmp/pandoc5eb79dda21cac [06:31] that does also work :| === anon is now known as Guest1507 [07:17] Starship809: try the guys in ##php - php's exec function is not something for this channel [07:51] could somebody tell me what python3-cffi-backend is for? Package description doesn't provide enough information. There's no direct dependencies to this package but there could be some indirect hidden ones [08:30] howdy, I am building a rust crate which fails because it can't find llvm-config, I installed llvm-10 but the installed binaries have -10 suffixes like llvm-config-10: I tried to figure out how to use update-alternatives to make links from bare names to -10 suffixed ones but it's just a hunch I don't know if this is the solution, do you happen to know? [08:47] I have been trying for awhile to boot Ubuntu live install iso from grub and failing. I don't know what I'm missing . I get this invalid sector size 65535 , disk loop not found , you need to load kernel first . I have copied Ubuntu's own directions. are they not tested or not update ? [09:14] tarelerulz, works for me, you might have to adapt partition/location/filename https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sbfJbMwPmy/ [09:16] what is this part insmod part_msdos [09:17] is anyone aware, why ubuntu/focal64 on vagrant always times out with ssh access? ist ssh in the vagrant box not installed? [09:17] I gpt , fat32 , efi partition , [09:18] tarelerulz, then you'd use (hd0,gpt1) if the iso file is on partition 1, otherwise use other number [09:19] Ok, what is the insmod part_msdos for for what I have ? [09:20] insmod is a command to load kernel modules, "part_msdos" sounds like ti would support msdos partitions [09:20] AKA MBR [09:21] partition tables rather [09:21] insmod tells grub to load one of its modules. however grub usually loads the most common modules automatically, so its optional to specify [09:21] I don't have a single insmod in my grub.cfg and it works *shrug* [09:22] oh right insmod works for grub, too [09:23] hey, I'm trying to set up my Rasp Pi running Ubuntu Server, and I've used: iwconfig wlan0 essid "John & Smith" key "mypassword" but it says "mypassword" is an invalid argument [09:23] is there some way that I need to be formatting this since my essid has spaces and an ampersand in it? [09:24] try single quotes '' instead of double quotes "" [09:25] alright, I'll see how that goes [09:26] you can also make it two separate lines which may make it easier to identify the error [09:26] iwconfig wlan0 essid 'John & Smith' [09:26] iwconfig wlan0 key 'mypassword' [09:27] in this format 'mypassword' would need to be a hex key, though [09:27] hmm yeah okay the first part works, but it says the password is wrong [09:27] oh really? haha. I've just been typing a string. [09:28] quoting iwconfig(8): "You can also enter the key as an ASCII string by using the s: prefix. Passphrase is currently not supported." [09:29] I added the s: but had the same problem [09:29] where "passphrase" would probably be an ascii string containing blank spaces. [09:29] sudo iwconfig wlan0 key 's:mypassword' [09:29] try without the quotes next [09:30] yeah I also tried that, no luck :( [09:30] is it still the same error message, though? [09:31] "SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument." - previously it didn't have the "set failed" part [09:32] which authenticatin schemes does your AP offer? [09:33] Not sure - how would I check that> [09:34] if you'Re not sure then it's probably (hopefully) not WEP and you need to read up on how to do WPA2 or WPA3 personal authentication instead. [09:36] or use one of the frontends for wireless configuration so you won't have to deal with the nitty gritty details [09:36] Oh actually, it says WPA2-PSK [09:36] network-manager has a cli called nmcli [09:36] Oh for real? I wonder why that didn't come up when I googled [09:37] there's also nmtui which provides some text menus [09:38] nmcli I'll try nmcli first and see how that goes haha [09:38] nmcli is REALLY coo [09:38] cool* [09:38] you can even export or import network connections such as wifi or vpn [09:41] Okay got nmcli installed, when I run that it displays "wlan0: disconnected [09:41] "Broadcom BCM43438 combo and Bluetooth Low Energy" [09:41] wifi (brcmfmac), DC:A6:32:45:F7:5A, hw, mtu 1500" [09:47] !man | calamity [09:47] calamity: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [09:48] nmcli also has a "help" command [09:53] thanks, ill keep fiddling [09:58] would this linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper toram iso-scan/filename=$isofile noprompt noeject , make me boot into the ram the whole os? [10:02] tarelerulz: yes [10:05] hey [10:05] what is the syntax a=[1,2] to declare an array in bc calculator... [10:05] shows syntax error [10:06] I think perhaps one issue is that when I do "nmcli d wifi list", there are no results. it doesn't seem to know there are wifi networks [10:07] Hi, I have this motherboard: https://pastebin.com/raw/ai20ks1B and I would like to know if it support hybrid graphic Radeon/Intel because I have read that northbridge chipset Intel Cantiga contains a video gpu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_graphics_processing_units#Gen4 [10:12] !hardware | gst568923 start here [10:12] gst568923 start here: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [10:13] gst568923: we had some users in the past struggling with intel/amd hybrid graphics [10:17] lotuspsychje ok sorry, my question was only to know if my motherboard supports this configuration, because if it weren't so I won't go into what I'm looking for [10:55] hello, any askubuntu moderators here? === CQ2 is now known as CQ [11:07] cq why?

[11:17] this bug hapepns in 18.04 LTS as well, but not in 20.04 LTS [11:17] Deano59: you must have missed the LTS sign, saying it's supported till 2021/2024 [11:17] some people like stable software that doesn't change too much [11:17] * Deano59 shrugs [11:18] enterprise software and such [11:18] * Deano59 shrugs === beaver is now known as beaver_1d [11:24] it's seems to be related that /lib64 is a link in ubuntu 20.04 (where it works) but on 16.04 and 18.04 it'snot (atleast in latest docker image) [11:24] * Deano59 shrugs [11:24] ahh let's remember how to /ignore morons [11:24] lol [11:24] you shouldn't use such an old os.

[12:22] And the user has to manually edit their installation images to make them work on those systems. [12:24] I think Fedora has added support for this in version 27 (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/32BitUefiSupport). Does Debian have it, too? I think at least. Some other distributions also support this. [12:25] multifractal: Where there any other ubuntu options?

I have a problem with NGINX on Ubuntu Server 20.04. I want to use TLS1.0 up to TLS1.3 on my server, but regardless of the NGINX version (offical package or form nginx.org) server always responds with TLS1.2 only. Running NGINX with the same config on the same machine but inside docker does respond with all required protocols. I'm using `nmap [12:44] --script ssl-enum-ciphers -p 443 MY_DOMAIN` to verify that. [12:44] i am getting as far as "Updates and other software" on the install wizard, but it hangs when i click continue [12:45] armasm: i would expect TLSv1.0 and v1.1 to be disabled on 20.04 system-wide [12:45] armasm: those are considered weak nowadays [12:45] multifractal, don't think a new stick will solve this, it could be a problem with the internal drive boot file [12:45] @tomreyn but it should respond with TLS1.3 also, right? I have to support Android 4.2, there is TLS1.0 only. [12:46] BluesKaj: So was the 'error found' referring to my computer or the stick?? [12:46] your pc [12:46] someone above told me it was checking the stick [12:46] armasm: TLSv1.3 should probably be supported. i have not tested this myself. [12:47] i'm in startup disk creator right now reflashing it just in case [12:47] try booting without the stick [12:47] BluesKaj: see above - i'm already in boot hell [12:47] armasm, TLS1.0 is going to die very soon Apple for example remove support for it in March already [12:48] armasm: you could put a TLS temrination point in front of the ubuntu 20.04 system, possibly one running an older (but still supported) release. [12:48] Would be even better if it could tell me what the "error" that it found was [12:53] i just reflashed the installer usb with startup-disk-creator and ran the test option after it was finished. it launched a window labelled QEMU containing a nasty looking error about kernel panic or somethign [12:56] what is "it" that launched "a window labelled QEMU"? === beaver_1d is now known as beaver [12:56] tomreyn: selecting the option to test the USB that startup disk creator just made [12:57] so it's an option in startup disk creator? i'm not familiar with this option then, must have been added recently. [12:57] once it's finished it throws up a dialog with options like "test" and "exit" [12:57] on which ubuntu release are you running startup-disk-creator? [12:57] did ubuntu 20.04 change /lib64 to by a symlink unlike ubuntu 18.04 or ubuntu 16.04 ? [12:58] tomreyn: 18.04 [12:58] I want to trace when a bug was inserted to the "file" package, how can I go back and see where it happened ? [12:58] oh actually i've only used usb-creator-gtk [12:59] is there an apt bisect or so ? [13:00] tomreyn, I know, but I'm trying to put this NGINX as a reverse proxy for the docker containers. Host (Ubuntu) runs docker, sshd, nginx, certbot and fail2ban only. Everything is on the same VPS. However, if TLS1.0 depracated and removed, there should be TLS1.3 available, but i can't get it working... [13:00] armasm: maybe use trafeik ? [13:00] ubuntu 20, lxd is not working in my case .. dhclient does not work, manually setting up ip does not work .. [13:00] what i see is apparmor denined for network and dhclient [13:01] checking here if someone else also has experienced the same issue [13:01] multifractal: if the usb-creator-gtk test fails like this it's probably due to some other problem, i'd ignore it for now. just boot off the newly created usb and see whether it still reports errors during boot. [13:03] armasm: i believe that "i can't get [TLSv1.3] working" and "Everything is on the same VPS (aqnd thus I can't support TLSv1.0 and TLV1.1 and the whole thing is getting complicated to maintain)" are separate issues. [13:03] ubusr: to help the developers and debug yourself, maybe #ubuntu-devel might be interesting for you? [13:03] lotuspsychje: yeah nobody is talking / answering there [13:04] ubusr: its weekend, things might be slower indeed [13:04] anybody here is running ubuntu 18.04 LTS not in docker ? [13:04] ohh, forgot it's weekend in most of the world :) [13:04] I wonder how much % of the world sunday isn't weekend [13:04] ubusr: lets not discuss that here shall we [13:05] k [13:05] guess I'll move my image to ubuntu 20.04 for now until the issue is fixed :/ [13:06] tomreyn, that was just a digression, I just want to be sure that everything with TLS on Ubuntu 20.04 is right, because I have those issues with NGINX. Thank you for your help. [13:06] ubusr: do you have a bug ID on your issue? [13:07] A. I want someone to verify it B. if it involves in registereding in another site, then I guess no [13:07] but I think it's kinda of a big issue, feel free to open one [13:08] armasm: you're welcome. for texting TLSv1.3, i'd recommend using openssl or gnutls directly. if the system is reachable on the internet you could also use some online tests such as startssl.com's server test. [13:08] ubusr: maybe you could explain it first into the channel, perhaps volunteers recognize an existing bug ID? [13:08] oops i mean ssllabs.com [13:08] lotuspsychje: when I run file /bin/bash (or any other ELF binary), the interpreter which runs the ELF path get's truncated: "/bin/bash: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/l, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=6f072e70e3e49380ff4d43cdde8178c24cf73daa, stripped" [13:09] you see the /lib/64/l ? it's the start of the path, but not all of it, on 16.04 and 18.04 it's truncated, but on 20.04 it correctly shows: /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 [13:09] and it worked once (since I have scripts on 16.04 that depend on it working, and they stoped working) [13:12] I'm wondering when did the file pacake update bork it [13:12] OK so it hangs again on "Updates and other software" when running the ubuntu installer wizard. The next step ought to be the option to "install alongside windows 10" or "something else" page. But seeing as how there's some kind of catastrophe with how my computer is booting I guess it can't figure out what to do next? [13:12] ubusr: have you tried using readelf instead? [13:13] This is a new USB stick I'm trying and it's hanging on exactly the same spot [13:13] what the hell does windows update do to screw me over ho hard? [13:13] ubusr: GNU file is a many purposes tool, it may not be the best tool to reliably identify ELF file format specific details. [13:13] tomreyn: nop, I have a script which already worked pretty good (and depends on file output).. [13:13] plz keep the language family friendly here multifractal [13:13] tomreyn: worked perfectly fine for me\ [13:15] ubusr: maybe you were lucky for a while. ;) but YYMV, good luck. [13:15] yeah 2nd time i'm bitten by LTS :) [13:15] the first bug is still open 3 month and pending.... [13:16] !discuss | ubusr [13:16] ubusr: Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks! [13:18] tomreyn: it is support discussion, or rather lack of [13:19] ubusr: we try to divide discussions from ubuntu support, hence why the channel pointer [13:19] When starting a new Amazon Lightsail instance with Ubuntu installed, a certain number of conf files are changed from ubuntu defaults (/etc/ssh/sshd_config, for instance, has added an additional certificate for ssh access from their control panel). I'd like to find a list of all conf files on the system that have been modified from their default values. apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::--force-confnew install --reinstall -y [13:19] doesn't work (--force-confnew only applies when a version number has changed) [13:19] k, I understand, I'll shutup about having an LTS issue with patch to fix it that's open for 3 month and I guess will be never fixed (cause nobody cares about 16.04 anymore0 [13:20] lets discuss that in #ubuntu-discuss ubusr [13:20] Sorry, find a list and then change (probably all) of them back to their default values. [13:27] In some of the answers relating to this "hanging on Updates and other software tab", they say to mount/unmount the windwos partition in disks. how do i do this, i'm not seeing any option to do so? [13:35] OK so after deleting the Ubuntu partition and rebooting, the install wizard was able to proceed and I'm back in the game. 20.04 and Windows 10 running in perfect harmony. For now........ [13:36] well done. [13:36] A bit disturbing that I had to nuke ubuntu, but it was a fresh install so nothing to lose. Would have been annoyed if there was un-backed up stuff (but I suppose I could have backed up from the live environment had I wished) [13:37] thanks to everybody for trying to help [13:42] multifractal: I've never managed to upgrade an ubuntu version without it borking my system anyhow === CarlFK1 is now known as CarlK === revosftw6 is now known as revosftw [14:26] I have a PC running Windows 7 with a USB printer connected to it, and I have it set to share the printer. My MacOS X computer has no problem detecting and using the shared printer, but I can't get my Ubuntu Desktop 20.04 computer to see or use it. [14:29] The "add printer" UI doesn't appear to have a provision to browse SMB shared printers. [14:30] B0g4r7: wich printer is this? [14:31] Samsung ML-1630. [14:31] Hello, is it possible to set display scaling in Ubuntu to 110%. I am on Ubuntu 20.04 and I see we can either set 100% or 125% and more. [14:32] My resolution is 1920 on a 15" laptop and it hurts my eyes [14:32] B0g4r7: did you have to install the samsung drivers for it? [14:33] I don't think I had to do anything like that, or if I did it was automatic and unintrusive. [14:34] B0g4r7: think you might need something like this: https://www.openprinting.org/printer/Samsung/Samsung-ML-1630 [14:35] Hmm, thx. [14:35] I really should have just bought the 1630W, which has ethernet and wifi. [14:35] I've added two new printers lately, wifi has worked perfectly with my ubuntu clients [15:10] hello there [15:10] i have a problem [15:10] i changed my user shell to fish, and the user dissapeard form the userlist on the gdm login [15:11] takov751: undo the change, does it show up again then? [15:11] if so, how did you change it? [15:12] if not, what else had you changed? [15:13] tomreyn it does not [15:14] see above [15:14] `usermod -s /bin/fish $USER [15:15] use chsh next time [15:15] can you share the output of getent passwd $USER [15:16] maybe you wanted to set it to /usr/bin/fish instead? [15:19] yeah i did changed it to that [15:19] however its still missing [15:19] from the gdm userlist [15:22] takov751: is fish listed in /etc/shells ? [15:22] yes [15:22] both /usr/bin/fish and /bin/fish [15:32] I am clueless now [15:33] Is there any way to add user back? [15:42] I am really confused now [15:47] Hello. I want to move my /home drive to a new harddrive. I found these instructions: https://www.howtogeek.com/442101/how-to-move-your-linux-home-directory-to-another-hard-drive/ [15:48] My question is: Should I reboot to a root shell before I copy the files over to the new drive? [15:49] zutat tomreyn my user missing from the gnome user settings as well [16:00]
