[00:03] Biessie upgrade of what? [00:04] sudo apt upgrade (i was already on the newest LTS though so just a few packaged) [00:05] should I now guess what was updated? [00:08] nah sorry im back and fourth on my laptop trying to figure out what is going on. i just rebooted my box and it came back up but won't even connect to ethernet now. [00:08] idk whats going on [00:14] Biessie: What shows for a render in the file /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml ? [00:15] Bashing-om : NetworkManager [00:20] Biessie: A server should have networkd as the renderer - however what shows for the nameserver in the file /etc/resolv.conf ? [00:20] I use it as a desktop every now and then [00:20] but it's mostly just in the corner of my room [00:20] !netplan | Biessie [00:20] Biessie: Netplan is a network configuration abstraction renderer which uses YAML descriptions of a network to work with either a NetworkManager or Systemd-networkd "renderer". More information at https://netplan.io/ [00:21] Bashing-om - Nameserver 127.0.0.53 | options edns0 [00:25] Biessie: If you don't have netplan installed, you can wipe out anything in its config directory and have NM drive directly. That said, 1) in case you care, it'll use systemd-resolved unless you tell it not to, and 2) it won't touch wired interfaces unless you tweak it. [00:25] Biessie: Correct; network manager is managed from the GUI see: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2402695 . [00:26] Biessie: To get it to manage wired, touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf [00:27] (This gives an empty config to the arguably broken config it has by default in its default config - dpkg -L network-manager | grep conf to find all the defaults.) [00:27] FWIW, graphical interface to it is decidedly optional. Don't remember that last time I didn't just use nmcli. [00:30] Biessie: FWIW, heading off for a bit, but I also touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-dns-resolved.conf out of the box so NM handles resolv.conf by stuffing in whatever comes out of DHCP, or whatever's set manually. I also mask systemd-resolved, but that's all your preference. [00:31] i didnt change any of my network settings from day one.. been having this server since 16.04 LTS [00:31] so whatever the last update i just did im assuming is what caused my network to stop working. [00:32] Biessie: Hm, it'd be odd if it slid in netplan behind your back, but I think you have to take steps to squash resolved. [00:32] Biessie: And NM might have carried in its default that chops off wired configs. Are you on a wired interface, or wifi? [00:32] how do i get a list of the newest list of recent updates from apt update? [00:32] wired [00:33] Biessie: after apt update, say apt list --upgradable [00:33] kk im restarting my box now and once it loads up ill get that list [00:33] alright, going for real now - story time for the wee ones - but I'll be back and catch up [00:33] take care [00:34] you too - good luck [00:34] Biessie: upgrade log is at /var/log/dpkg.log . [00:47] So from what mason was saying that if it installed netplan it could cause conflicts with the existing setup i had with netmanager? [00:48] if i just uninstall netplan would it correct it? [00:48] networkd* [00:49] Bashing-om, I did not. [00:49] EriC^^, what I mean is I stick it in the laptop and try to boot from usb and it says it's not bootable media === Biessie is now known as biesssiee [00:51] biesssiee: https://www.configserverfirewall.com/ubuntu-linux/ubuntu-network-manager/ <- Disable Network Manager and enable systemd-networkd. [00:53] okay so Biessie is my linux box ZNC online with wireless. so it's definately an issue with wired only [00:59] biesssiee: Hey again. So, yeah, pick which network management suite you want and run with just one, IMHO. For a laptop I'd stick with NM. If wired isn't being configured, it's probably the default NM config being a problem, in which case telling it not to explicitly exclude wired interfaces would work. [01:00] biesssiee: Look at /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf [01:00] biesssiee: You can change that (not recommended) or 1) copy it into /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d and edit it there, or 3) just have an empty file with that name in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d [01:02] s/3/2/ [01:05] hi, quick question, how can i install netplan from live usb to fix my not internet issue on my machine? [01:06] it is possible to do this? [01:06] biesssiee: Reading scrollback, looks like it's probably just systemd-resolved hosing you. systemctl stop systemd-resolved, systemdctl mask systemd-resolved, touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-dns-resolved.conf, rm /etc/resolv.conf and force it to repopulate === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:31] nothing is working lol. only my wireless works and not wired. i just finally got it to work, atleast it shows it's connected but its IPv6 only [01:33] biesssiee: Weird. Check all those configs then. By default NM won't drive wired NICs under recent configs until you fix it. [01:34] all te configs in /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d are empty [01:35] Oh, that's a bit odd. [01:35] biesssiee: Does the network work if you give it a bare "dhclient eth0" or whatever your wired NIC shows up as? [01:35] with the exception of the default wifi one. [01:36] biesssiee: See, that sounds an awful lot like the NM configs I'm talking about, but if you can see your NIC with "ip a" and if dhclient drives it, that's somewhere to start. [01:37] trying sudo dhclient enp4s0. and it's just hanging there as of now === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [01:38] biesssiee: Verify the physical network maybe...? [01:38] Link lights, power, maybe another system using that ethernet cable to verify that it's just that system somehow? [01:38] That cable, that port, etc. [01:41] Just followed it to the switch. all good [01:41] running smooth [01:42] Running smooth how? Did dhclient finally do its thing? Or did you try another system on that wire/port/etc? [01:42] sorry saying it's all connected properly. nothing was unhooked by accideng [01:42] ah, I'd still try another system to verify beyond a doubt that it's a bad config or something on that specific box. Easy test. [01:43] Can someone explain to me why tracker is using so much cpu and fan when I start up? [01:53] mason : lol can't figure it out but thank you so much for all of your input and time [01:53] guess im stuck with wifi [01:54] Biessie: Another thought, try live media to see if a "fresh look" at the hardware is able to drive it. That'd bug me to pieces not being able to use a wired NIC. [01:55] I would still look into what updated, to see what happened maybe === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius [01:56] ughhhh brb let me try one more thing [01:56] Kbdlnx123 tracker is indexing your files so you can search faster [02:03] YAY [02:03] it works [02:05] mason [02:05] Biessie: What was it? [02:07] I honestly have no idea. I did so many changes before my last reboot it could have been one or a few of the many changes lol. - if you wanna SSH and look at my bash log haha you're mo re than welcome [02:07] Nah, I'm glad it's working though. [02:08] Me too. My wireless caps out at 250Mbps.. and i have 1000mbit up.down connection [02:08] well it sometimes hits in the 300mbps but wired is MUCH faster [02:20] I am getting some RAM for a motherboard, I understand that getting faster RAM than the motherboard supports is OK, it will be used at the slower motherboard speed, is this correct? [02:22] i haven't touched linux bluetooth in many years, last i recall it was either high quality audio sink or poor quality two-way audio (choose one). my android phone does high quality audio calls w/ google hangouts over bluetooth. can i get this in linux too? [02:53] I wonder. Is there a way for the CLI of Ubuntu 20.04 to start behaving like the old ugly way when you do a "ls -l"? Nowadays it shows the directory names within parentesis etc... like 'My Files' instead of the old My Files [02:59] * kreyren comes in channel and starts screaming heeelp while providing only https://github.com/Kreyren/kreyren/issues/16 [03:05] neildugan: That's my rule of thumb - get faster RAM than what the mobo supports. [03:05] Besides, if you've got an amd cpu - ryzen chips LOVE fast ram. [03:06] BUT - there's ##hardware for those types of questions. [03:06] ViperXL75: Maybe the white space in the filename put it into quotation mark? [03:06] ViperXL75: There's those ' ' because there's a space in the name. [03:07] I wondered about that a couple years back, ;) [03:07] I think it was always like that in linux === pikapika_lunar_a is now known as pikapika [03:12] oh there are white spaces indeed [03:13] amuro: lies... lies... [03:13] i remember that the crappy old Ubuntu 14 that i was using a while back, didn't show it like this [03:13] xD [03:15] ViperXL75: I remembered it was always like that back then when I first try ubuntu 6.06 [03:52] :S [03:52] ok. If u say so.. i'll have to settle for it [03:52] <--- Mumbling in disbelief but shutting up. [04:18] Hey guys i'm on 20.04 and for some reason all of the streaming websites i'm trying (FMovies, SolarMovies, Lookmovie, etc) will not load the streams properly. [04:18] Speedtest is fine [04:19] websites work fine on my desktop [04:19] There isn't any weird QOS settings on my router [04:20] I've also tried using Chromium & Firefox both browsers experience this issue [04:20] thlmrk did you install the codecs? [04:20] especially chromium uses ffmpeg [04:20] No, the video plays but it just buffers alot like the internet is slow [04:20] but speedtest is fine [04:20] ahh, okay, no idea then [04:21] Guess i'm going back to Windblows on it. No idea what the heck is the matter, but it makes it most annoying. [04:21] YouTube works fine as does netflix it's only those third party websites that I have issues with. Like they aren't prioritizing my IP... but again it works completely fine on my Win10 desktop. [04:22] hello, i am trying to install ubuntu 20.04 on my asus r541u, but the installation wizard is freezing. i have tried to use some kernel parameters on boot like nomodeset but no way, any ideas folks? [04:23] i am sure this is a graphic driver issue as this asus holds nvidia geforce 440 [04:29] hello, i am trying to install ubuntu 20.04 on my asus r541u, but the installation wizard is freezing. i have tried to use some kernel parameters on boot like nomodeset but no way, any ideas folks? [04:30] Sorry idk w0rmie [04:30] thlmrk : thank you [06:01] It seems that my laptop is no longer getting kernel images. uname -r has me at 5.4.0-37-generic, when my other systems are all on 5.4.0-40. What could be holding this laptop back? [07:16] davido_: you might not be using an up-to-date mirror [07:26] Hello, I'm seeing an annoying window popping up everytime I restart my computer, how to stop it? https://img.susepaste.org/images/e00c0d81.png [07:26] I'm running Kubuntu 20.04 [07:38] If its to do with kwallet, I imagine you'll have to enter it each time, as a security measure? [07:38] kari it is not usually that way, I'm using Kubuntu for over 11 years and its the first time i'm encountering this. [07:39] kwallet usually pops up during the system install time. But not after that. [07:39] I asked in #kubuntu and #KDE but with no success. [07:40] OK, try looking in system settings, account details. Apparently from there you can enable/disable and reconfigure it [07:40] Maybe that would help [07:42] hi , i m on 18.04 ... at boot it takes a long time to start apps even if cpu is at 23% and memory less than 25% (3 out 12 GB) ... any suggestions at what I am looking for as a bottleneck? [07:42] HHD or SSD? [07:42] HDD* [07:42] SSD [07:43] That was my only suggestion. Lol [07:44] New install? [07:44] yea the hardrive should be fast enough. It is a board and CPU I bought in 2011 but still their usage is very low. I clicked on chrome and other apps to start them about 1 min before joining IRC [07:44] no, it is a system that was upgraded since 2011 [07:44] Ahh [07:44] so i guess 14 to 16 and now 18 [07:45] System maintenance, cleared out temp files etc? [07:46] is that a thing ? :) [07:47] Look in /tmp [07:56] hello [07:57] ubuntu 20.04 the firewall is disabled by default? === dtux_ is now known as dtux [08:03] kari i doubt temp files are an issue - du -h --max-depth=0 /tmp -> 880K /tmp [08:12] I have ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS and would like to upgrade to latest LTS (which from my understanding is 20.04). However, when I do do-release I am proposed to change a conf file to upgrade to latest non-LTS [08:13] isn't 20.04 the latest LTS ? and if so why is this proposed when I run do-release-upgrade ? [08:14] Hi.. today's ubuntu update broke repo for me. I see: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_ssl'". Here is today's update log: https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/ioS3krs9/ [08:14] i'm on ubuntu 16.04.x. any idea how to fix this breakage or revert the update? [08:41] gebbione: ahhh oki [09:19] hey guys, how do I force gdm to use wayland instead of x11 [09:19] for some reason its using x11 now... [09:26] oh damn nvidia fu*** piece of trash [09:49] Hello! I had wifi on live 20 install, but now my wifi seems connected, but has no speed, help? [09:52] hi. i'm installing 20.04 desktop using mdadm. created the raid 0 array and installed ubuntu onto it. the instructions im following call for `mount --bind /dev /target/dev` but when i run this command i get `mount: /target/dev: mount point does not exist.` im supposed to do the same for /proc and /sys so that I can chroot into the system and install [09:52] mdadm before rebooting. what is the workaround for this? [09:53] the guide im following is a youtube video that covers this for 18.04; i couldn't find any instructions for 20.04 and its really difficult to find textual instructions for installing ubuntu desktop 20.04 (or 18.04) onto a raid 0 mdadm [09:58] Hello. I have a disk, which has 930 GB in total. I have a few partitions there, I did shrink one of them (using kde partition manager), now, as you can see here: https://i.imgur.com/ppobTnr.png I have 266 GB 'unallocated'. Then why neither KDE Partition manager nor Gparted allows me to expand the partition I called 'hdd'? I hoped I'd be able to expand it by about 266 GB [09:58] Hello! I had wifi on live 20 install, but now my wifi seems connected, but has no speed, help? [10:32] konrados: it's cause it's at the end, you need to move it back then expand [10:32] but there's the efi partition in the middle, so you'll have to reinstall the bootloader [10:35] OK, thanks EriC^^ - I didn't think it's gonna be so complicated :) Now I just realized that instead of playing with the partitions, I'll use this 'unallocated' to create a new one. It's all about backups only, so 1 part will be on this current partition, the other part of the backup will be on a new partition :) Thanks again :) [10:46] konrados: that's a good idea, no problem :) [10:46] I'm on ubuntu 18.04. On a pretty crappy internet connection but do have the 20.04 bootable USB drive with me. How do I *upgrade* best in this situation? [10:47] Will booting the USB drive make it possible to *upgrade* (as opposed to replace) my current installation? [10:52] Squarism, What happens when you try to boot from the usb? [10:53] I think typically when you go through the graphical installer there's a stage where it asks something like "What would you like to do?" [10:54] With a few options including "erase and install" or "upgrade", you should be able to choose the upgrade option [10:54] gibson96, ok. [10:55] Hello! I had wifi on live 20 install, but now my wifi seems connected, but has no speed, help? [10:56] gibson96, when you say "graphical installer" is that something you reach from the bootable USB or something you get when installing from running the current installed version? [10:56] eh.. the last message got a bit convoluted. But I guess you understand. [10:58] Hello [10:58] Squarism, Sorry, I should've been clearer, when you boot from the USB there should be a window that pops up saying "install ubuntu", if you click that option then you will be in the "graphical installer" [10:58] I am having troubles trying to do-release-upgrade -d to switch from 18.04 to 20.04 [10:58] hello [10:59] first issue that I apparently had to purge some third party ppa which I have done [10:59] Can I ask my problems regarding LinuxMint here in Ubuntu channel? [10:59] I am now been told that some packages are not upgradeable [10:59] so I'd guess that this corresponds to the ones installed with these ppa I just removed [10:59] so I'm a bit stuck [11:00] Is there a way finding from which source packages have been installed ? [11:00] schangg, did you "apt update" after purging the ppa? [11:00] gibson96 probably but will try again [11:01] momken, have you tried #linuxmint ? [11:02] gibson96 yes same problem [11:03] gibson96, thanks! Ill check it out. [11:03] gibson96, Yeah, but it has ~100 users [11:04] In the case no-one answers me, I guessed whether you welcome me in asking LinuxMint questions? [11:04] schangg, have you tried this tutorial? https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/upgrade-ubuntu-18-04-to-20-04-lts-using-command-line/ [11:04] Assuming you've already made backups, you can skip to Step 3 [11:05] momken, I've not used Mint, but there may be others here who can help, no harm in asking I suppose? [11:05] gibson96 not this one but the procedure is exactly the same [11:06] gibson96, Thank you very much. Bcuz this attitude doesn't exist b/w Arch and Manjaro users [11:07] momken, only Ubuntu and official flavors of Ubuntu are on-topic here (https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours) [11:08] read the topic. basic. [11:08] guiverc, :| [11:15] 🤓 [11:22] Hi [11:23] still trying to upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 following instructions found online [11:23] I'm being told that upgrade is not possible and I should look into logs [11:23] I have pasted main.log and apt.log here https://pastebin.com/DmCr98fj [11:23] I have been through these and I can not quite figure out what's wrong [11:24] could someone kindly have a quick look ? thanks [11:26] Hello, I'm booted into Ubuntu now from a USB stick but i only have this one stick and need to install the windows 10 ISO ive downloaded onto it. Is this possible from within Ubuntu while being booted from it? [11:27] like to format this stick and use an image installer/command to install the windows image to this drive [11:29] schangg, a quick look and I'd `apt-cache policy libomp5` as I suspect you've got 3rd party packages installed; which should likely be restored to default for upgrade to work [11:31] guiverc getting this https://pastebin.com/YSYG8ERC [11:33] sorry I misread something... [11:37] Nelderoth: I think you can, but you'd have to install grub, and partition your disk to fit win10 [11:38] guiverc I have run apt-cache policy on each and every package listed by dpkg -l and I do not see any URL pointing to third party [11:39] guiverc I am not saying that this is the right way to check the origin of a package because I definitely have third party stuff but the repos have been removed from source.list [11:39] :| qt4. switching to lp [11:43] sorry I noted qt4 packages.. (libqtcore4) .. there is a bug on this bionic2focal I believe.. haven't found it (what I meant with launchpad ref) [11:45] karl, do you mean the USB stick to fit the image? or the target install drive? (which btw is already empty ready for a fresh win10 install) [11:45] nah sorry I think I'm too tired.. it's reminding of bugs which I cannot find sorry schangg [11:46] i dont mind temporarily sacrificing whats on this drive, i just need to use this stick to install the iso ready for booting [11:46] You'd have to partition the computer hard drive, or ssd, or m2, whichever you use [11:47] well thats just a small SSD which i dont plan on partitioning for the install, i just want to put my newly purchased win10 key on there [11:47] From experience, installing Linux alongside Windows, it auto installs grub etc and resizes the drive... Windows isn't as courteous [11:47] So you don't mind binning off linux? [11:48] i forgot that my windows install was being booted by grub and deleted the ubuntu partition [11:48] i already did that for now just to swap things around [11:48] So whats currently on the pc, linux or windows? [11:49] i have one SSD with a windows install, the one i was using, then one smaller SSD which is now blank and im currently booting into ubuntu from the usb stick [11:49] You wanting to dual boot? [11:49] but i borked my grub last night when removing the partitions that had ubuntu installed so now i cant boot either [11:49] not really, for now i jus wanna get the newly downloaded win10 image onto my usb stick to do a fresh install on the smaller ssd [11:50] Okay, I did this exact thing 2 days ago [11:51] Windows files were still there, but grub broke. I had to install grub again, gimme a sec ill find the software [11:51] i have had decent results with unetbootin before, but i couldnt install it on this booted as a live distro [11:52] and im not sure if i can use this stick as a target for unetbootin while being booted from that drive [11:52] Tinyurl.com/Nelderoth [11:52] Try that, I used boot-repair to reinstall grub, which fixed the boot issue [11:54] ok thanks ill give that a shot, but this is to restore the ability to boot windows right? you know i removed the partition with ubuntu so there is no install to repair/access/restore [11:55] schangg, sorry I've found nothing, so either I was chasing a false memory of issue, or I am too tried, sorry I've come up blank [11:56] Where was grub installed, same hdd? [11:57] yeah on the partition that got deleted [11:57] You should be able to liveboot linux, use boot-repair to install grub on the hdd with windows on, and rebooting should be fine [11:57] ya i ran that gonna test now brb thanks man :) [11:57] Np, lemme know how it goes [12:04] Karl, it didnt work. I tried booting from all available options including this usb stick [12:11] guiverc I have a removed a series of packages and now the upgrade is finally happenning :) [12:12] :) yippee ! [12:13] guiverc thanks [12:19] Hmm === jelly-home is now known as jelly [12:20] So you livebooted, installed boot-repair from github, ran it and re/installed grub on your ssd? [12:20] well it completed the process [12:20] and in the pastebin log it showed as complete, but then it would not boot [12:21] Hmm tried the bios and checking your default booktable drive? [12:21] Bootable [12:21] well i have a boot menu, i tried all drives [12:21] Hmm [12:21] Sorry man, I'm out of ideas [12:22] ok np [12:22] i think ill have to install ubuntu onto the empty drive temporarily just to be able to then use unetbootin to install the windows 10 iso onto this stick [12:23] Yeah, then install Windows, and then do Linux if you want to dualboot [12:23] Good luck [12:24] ya i need to do a lot of moving/swapping on drives first but ya i will eventually get linux back on [12:24] Hi everyone, any ubuntu wifi experts among you? [12:25] I got a 120gb ssd, split into roughly 2x60gb partitions, each with linux and windows on === TomyLobo2 is now known as TomyWork [12:25] I cannot reboot or shutdown. I have to do it manually from the pc case. System stucks at splash screen. How can I understadn what's the problem? [12:26] well ima go give it a shot, thanks a lot for your time Karl :) [12:27] Np, and its karI [12:27] Lol [12:27] Good luck [12:29] Iv got a strange issue where I can see my neigbours wifi, even turn on my hotspot and connect but it cant see my main wifi. I installed Ubuntu 20.04 set it all up and connected no problem, one day i booted and the wifi was hardware disabled so I turned it back on and i cant see my network but i see everyone elses [12:29] Your router the same frequency as your wireless card? 2.4ghz or 5hhz [12:30] i found and deleted my remembered AP's but it didnt help [12:30] it was working before on a fresh install [12:30] Update and upgrade? [12:31] you mean conect it to ethernet and do an update? [12:31] Yep [12:31] Could be a driver issue, just needs updating perhaps [12:32] ill try that [12:32] Good luck [12:37] to answer your other question, yes my router and wifi frequency match, both have 2ghz and 5 [12:40] Oki. [12:40] Update work at all? [12:41] just finnished dragging an rj45 from one end of the house to the other haha [12:42] Haha ouch [12:45] upgrading now [12:45] Woo [12:58] Hey kari, finished the update, upgrade and its still the same, I can see all the neigbours but not mine, very strange. Its worth noting to that its a dual boot machine, windows can see my ap and connect but Ubuntu cant [12:58] Hey Ubuntu, can someone please tell me the ALT + F-key combinations on the current desktop? (TTY stuff) [12:58] Ah, hmm [12:58] Why adaptpr you using [12:58] Adaptor [12:59] and it was working previously. Adapter? internal wifi on a toshiba laptop [12:59] Yeah, no idea. Lol [12:59] odd you can see your neighbour, but not your own wifi .. [13:00] Same version of ubuntu you installed? [13:00] all good, i know right so strange, 4 wifi points avalable but not mine [13:00] so wifi is working.. [13:01] hardware works [13:02] and i bet if i had the neigbors password it would connect fine [13:03] i can start up the hotspot on my phone and it connects and works fine [13:03] Silly question, and probably not it, but you tried restarting the router? [13:03] absolutly [13:03] Good man [13:03] 2 or 3 times [13:03] over a couple of days [13:04] just now dragged an ethernet cable to it and performed an update\upgrade [13:05] also tried deleting the known ap but cant see it to attempt a reconnect [13:05] Can you manually add it? [13:05] good question [13:06] ill try that [13:06] I'll be here, lol [13:11] oh its trying its hardest, little blue circle spinning, and failed damn [13:12] since there is the option to erase everything when formatting a usb drive, does that mean that ubuntu can keep all the files intact [13:12] if I want to format a usb drive [13:14] anyone? [13:15] No, if you format you loose everything. [13:15] ^ [13:15] " erase everything when formatting a usb drive" .. what makes you think formatting keep all the files intact? [13:15] Erase probably makes sure nothing can be recovered with various methods. [13:15] Well, the files on the USB will be erased. [13:15] Wheres your ubuntu files, usb or pc? [13:16] then why does that Erase button exist when you right-click a usb drive to format it [13:17] rhoks, why do you ask if formatting keeps files? [13:17] thanks for your sugestions kari i think ill bite the bullet and reinstall [13:18] rhoks, Maybe you're looking for resizing your partition if you wanna keep your files. [13:18] Some tools can do that. [13:18] Good luck man [13:19] ahh nvm I just got confused a bit by the existance of the Erase button is all [13:19] Depends, if rhoks is using linux installed ok the pc, and just wants to format a USB drive, then yeah, all files on the USB drive will be erased... but it would leave the system files on the pc in tact [13:19] rhoks, reformatting gives you the chance to change drive formatting, drive letter etc. the erase option just deletes your files, resizing partitions is a different thing [13:19] but now I got trouble using unetbootin with the drive because it needs it to be FAT32 while I need it to be NTFS :( [13:19] Ewww [13:19] Ntfs [13:19] eeek [13:20] What you putting on the usb stick? [13:20] Windows 10 for the newly built PC that I put together the other day with GTX 1660S Gaming X and Ryzen 2700x [13:20] Should still support it in fat32, right? [13:20] to keep your stuff rhokes you have to find another drive to put your stuff on temporaraly till the format is compleated [13:21] I did try it with FAT32, but thing is it gave me an error when it tried to open an installation file which is 4.3GB in size or something and yeah [13:21] Ahhh yea === tehaugmenter is now known as augz [13:22] are you trying to change from fat32 to ntfs and not loose data? [13:22] windows 10 iso on ntfs usb? [13:22] Tinyurl.com/rhoks [13:23] I was told to use this application named woeusb but I wanted to get recommended from you guys an app that is safe and legit, so if you can vouch for it then I'll go for it :D [13:23] Followed this? [13:23] Hank_Moody, I've already formatted it, now I just want to re-create the bootable drive. [13:23] That also recommends woeusb [13:23] using NTFS which unetbootin does not work with apparently [13:24] woeUSB takes 30 minutes, a windows pc can do it in 3 min [13:25] well my other windows laptop is almost dead, I need to get to fixing that as wel [13:25] but for now I guess woeUSB it is, but damnn 30min is a LOTTT [13:25] good luck with ntfs + windows iso [13:27] I'm sorry but why is installing woeusb so complicated :o [13:27] lolz, ask in ##windows? [13:28] Its not [13:28] 5 commands. Lol [13:28] bug #1 [13:28] bug 1 in Ubuntu Malaysia LoCo Team "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 [13:29] 6 commands kari :D [13:29] ohh alright, I'm on it. [13:29] Lol [13:30] When its installed, just run the woeusbgui [13:34] should I upgrade all my packages first? Karasu [13:35] sorry kari** [13:35] always [13:35] update is not enough? [13:36] update is enough [13:36] I get lazy to do it because the auto gui auto updater always asks me to restart so I procrastinate on it like a biaaat*h [13:36] oh I see. [13:36] it will upgrade your packages if needed [13:36] very nice! [13:37] I love sudo apt update! :D [13:37] me too [13:37] way better than win use to be [13:37] not knocking it just dont wanna use it anymore [13:37] uh [13:37] sudo apt update does not upgrade packages [13:38] rhoks: what is your end goal? Put Windows 10 installer on a usb stick? [13:38] leftyfb, yep. [13:38] rhoks: then use woeusb. We cannot help here any further with that. [13:38] topp notch [13:39] ok I think I got my other windows laptop to work, so now I can create my bootable drive on it! [13:39] and according to oerheks its faster that way. [13:39] rhoks: that is the better solution. Good luck [13:39] Thanks folks! [13:39] have fun! [13:40] Laters [13:40] Someone buy me a Gemeni PDA [13:42] kari: Feel free to chat in #ubuntu-offtopic. This is a support channel [13:43] ok clarification for me: so your saying if i update my packages if their is an upgrade available it wont install it? [13:44] upgrade vs dist-upgrade .. [13:44] !distupgrade [13:44] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [13:44] i use standard dist-upgrade, no surprises [13:45] him, i understood him to mean update/upgrade packages not distro [13:45] mayb i misunderstood [13:46] dist-upgrade does not bring a new distro, do-release-upgrade does, if available [13:46] yes i get that [13:46] wasnt my intention to tell him about dist upgrade [13:47] ok lemme look bak at the question [13:48] the question was: should I upgrade all my packages first? [13:48] not distro [13:48] xbfrog: the general advice is to always be up to date [13:48] Apropos is an amazing command btw. Try "apropos upgrade", then man any that tickle your fabcy [13:49] yes thats what i thot i said [13:49] ok, i guess i should not contribute [13:49] just thot i was right [13:49] ok got it === SysGh_st is now known as SysGhost [13:55] Hi there [13:56] What is the use of the 'new' ethernet interface names?
