=== zbenjamin is now known as Guest71073 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:32] getting a gnome-control-center crash and it saws it might be a obsolete package version. Is apt autoremove sufficient to resolve it? [01:35] i just had a system totally lock up, not saved by alt-sysreq REISUB [01:36] i wanted to see if alt-sysreq REISUB actually worked, so the first thing i did after rebooting was to ctrl-alt-f1 and try to do it, and it says REI are not supported but it did happily reboot on SUB [01:36] anyway, is there anything specific i should check for evidence on why it locked up in the first place? [02:07] does anyone know what is the newest 32 bit ubuntu linux that has a partitioner that comes with the image disc? [02:19] well, i wanted to install a simple drawing app. i chose pinta from the software repository in ubuntu. trying to install i got sorry, something went wrong: error opening directory "/usr/share/appdata": no such file or directory . can this be fixed? [02:21] did you try to install through synaptic or terminal? [02:21] paste the output. [02:23] thru software gui [02:23] ubuntu software icon [02:24] i'm not sure where to get the output [02:24] where? [02:24] update the repo first before installing any software [02:24] ok [02:25] it says their are no updates [02:25] software is up to date [02:26] now fire up the terminal [02:26] ok [02:26] paste the commands.. [02:26] $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pinta-maintainers/pinta-stable [02:26] $ sudo apt update [02:27] $ sudo apt install pinta [02:27] done. [02:28] It is strongly recommended to also ensure that Mono 6.10 or higher is installed on your system (run `mono --version` to check), as earlier 6.x versions can produce random crashes. [02:29] update the mono font then [02:29] ok [02:30] from terminal or do i need to go to https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-lin [02:31] first check whether mono is already installed.. if it is installed remove the older version if it's less than 6.x and install the new ones [02:33] let me know what happends [02:33] happens* [02:33] ^mono --version [02:33] Hello I am currently issues with an external drive where it gets mounted then 10 to 15 minutes later it starts giving me and input/output error. I tried using ntfsck ntfsfix to fix the drive but i am having 0 luck. it is an ntfs formated usb external [02:33] Command 'mono' not found, but can be installed with: [02:33] [02:33] sudo apt install mono-runtime [02:36] use the method from the link you sent me [02:36] ok [02:36] what version are you using? 20.01 lts? [02:36] .o4 lts [02:36] k [02:40] connecting to ppa launchpad.net [02:40] E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/thomas.tsai/ubuntu-tuxboot/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file. [02:41] N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default [02:41] N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details [02:42] your ubuntu-tuxboot source is causing the problem.. do you remember why you added that? [02:42] nope dont remember adding it [02:43] did you try to clone/backup your system using clonezilla? [02:43] for now.. rather than deleting it.. let's disable it.. [02:43] sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [02:44] and comment out the line that starts with http://ppa.launchpad.net/thomas.. [02:44] ok looking [02:47] there is no line that starts with http://ppa.launchpad.net [02:47] went down the list an back up [02:47] check if that sort of file exist under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [02:48] if it does just delete it haha after making the backup under your home folder [02:48] do i check it in nano or close this and check it in terminal? [02:49] I am having an issue booting into my Ubuntu machine. It used to boot up just fine, but when I went to restart it today, it won't complete boot up. It gets to the motherboard logo, then the motherboard logo goes away, and then the black screen turns to a light grey screen, and stops there. I booted into a live cd and chrooted an uninstalled the last [02:49] installed program (virt-manager). I tried rebooting, same thing. I booted back into the live cd and tried reinstalling grub, using several different methods, the last method was the boot-repair gui tool. Any help would be awesome. [02:50] just do $ ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [02:50] there should be couple of files.. if one exist with "thomas" just delete it [02:50] you know what to do.. after that update through terminal [02:51] two lines with thomas [02:52] how do i delet them? [02:52] qualitycoder: are you using UEFI? did you install it under /boot/efi? did you generate grub.cfg after the installation of grub? [02:53] xbfrog: sudo rm -r /etc/apt/sources/ [02:53] xbfrog: sudo rm -r /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [02:53] sorry don't read the first line [02:53] ok [02:55] ok done [02:55] now run the update & upgrade [02:55] digup: I believe my BIOS uses UEFI, but not really sure. I generated grub.cfg on at least one of the methods (running update-grub). If the graphical tool (boot-repair) does it, than at least 2 of the methods. I do have a link for the pastebin from the graphical tool output, if that would help [02:56] please link the output [02:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/p8hsWDmnNQ/ [02:57] so, sudo apt update first? [02:59] 'https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-focal InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386' [02:59] xbfrog: yes.. [02:59] xbfrog: holy-shit. are you under 32bit arch? [02:59] no 64bit [03:01] paste the output of 'lshw' [03:01] ok [03:01] run lshw in your terminal and paste the output [03:01] use pastebin for that [03:02] ok [03:02] WARNING: output may be incomplete or inaccurate, you should run this program as super-user [03:03] necessary or no? [03:03] qualitycoder: hi.. it seems like you didn't install the bootloader in a seperate /boot/efi with EFI partition. Atleast that's what the error is saying.. it's not being able to detect ESP File System [03:03] xbfrog. doesn't matter just run as root just to be sure [03:03] ok [03:05] I don't recall ever having an EFI partition. Not sure what it setup originally when I installed it awhile back. [03:05] qualitycoder: You were suppose to create 500MB of seperate 'EFI Partition' and install the grub. [03:06] $ grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB [03:06] hola senor and senorita. anyone who need Tor bridge for personal use? free stuffs. tor bridge is good mix with GNUnet. Private message me if interest. [03:06] before that step you need to mount /dev/sdX /boot/efi [03:07] I've been running this machine for awhile. It might have done that itself originally, but I didn't [03:07] qualitycoder: Open up gparted and look at your partition scheme. See if you have one or not. [03:07] and final step would be grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg [03:07] Also check to see if you have a /boot/efi folder at all [03:07] It's possible that you have a Legacy BIOS install, even if your computer is UEFI [03:08] Also double check if you have grub-pc installed or grub-efi-amd64 [03:09] grub-pc being for legacy installs [03:09] from what I see from the Live CD there doesn't seem to be anything inside of the boot dir [03:09] https://pastebin.pl/view/aa69b4cb [03:10] if you're in a live environment.. just enter the chroot-environent once your mount [03:10] the mount point is /mnt [03:12] Does ubuntu indeed use initrd and not initramds during boot? [03:12] initramfs * [03:12] ok, what all should I mount besides sdb5 [03:13] xbfrog: can you type in 'unanme -m' in your terminal? [03:13] yes [03:14] qualitycoder: just your root dir would do. what's the output of 'lsblk -f' [03:15] xbfrog: output? [03:16] unanme -m? [03:17] yes [03:17] https://pastebin.com/ZJyMveKL [03:17] Command 'urname' not found [03:17] uname -m [03:18] cut and paste [03:18] that was it, syntax [03:18] x86_64 [03:24] xbfrog: $ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 [03:24] $ sudo apt update [03:24] should now fix your issue [03:25] ok, good [03:26] so now re run the install of pinta? [03:26] qualitycoder: there's so many drives, I'm confused. just analyze where your root mount point would be and then mount /dev/sdX /mnt [03:26] xbfrog: yes. but did the update work? [03:26] no errors? [03:26] oh lemme post [03:27] digup the mount point is on sdb5 [03:27] $ mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt [03:27] 24 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them. [03:27] $ chroot /mnt -s /bin/bash [03:27] N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-focal InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386' [03:29] qualitycoder: after you are chrooted.. create a folder /boot/efi then mount where you want your /boot/efi to be mounted. eg: /dev/sdX [03:29] digup it says chroot: failed to run command '-s': No such file or directory [03:30] xbfrog: I believe the mono pkg is 32bit.. just remove it from source file or delete it from your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [03:30] qualitycoder: chroot /mnt [03:31] ah, bash is at /usr/bin/bah, should I -s that instead? [03:31] try :D [03:32] ok, "sudo chroot /mnt" without the -s worked [03:32] follow the steps [03:33] check if /boot/efi exists. if not create one [03:33] just created one [03:34] analyze where /boot would have been mounted before. it would should be just 500MB in size [03:35] sdb1 is 649.5M, that's the only one around that size [03:35] yeah that should be it.. [03:35] mount /dev/sdb1 /boot/efi [03:36] exit chroot first, so I can access /dev/sdb1? [03:38] however.. the /dev/sdb1 should be mounted to /boot/efi [03:38] if you exit.. the /boot/efi should be then /mnt/boot/efi [03:38] but, double check [03:39] ok, efi now has stuff in it [03:40] remember if you exit chroot.. /boot/efi(your live cd boot) /mnt/boot/efi(your newly created stuff) [03:41] right, I mounted /dev/sbd1 to /mnt/boot/efi [03:41] https://askubuntu.com/questions/831216/how-can-i-reinstall-grub-to-the-efi-partition [03:41] here's a solution to your problem.. [03:42] let us know the good news when you're done [03:43] i'm not sure where to to or what command to use. would you be kind enough to guide me? [03:43] xbfrog: ? [03:43] lyes? [03:44] xbfrog: we need information. what's happening? [03:44] you said mono seems to be 32 bit just remove the file from .... [03:45] right now i'm root@xBfrog:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# [03:45] https://pastbin.com/TGcTpqfy [03:48] qualitycoder: what is the file system of /dev/sdb1 [03:49] qualitycoder: just paste the output here.. $ lsblk -f /dev/sdb1 [03:49] xbfrog: sorry.. just remove mono source file [03:50] FSTYPE is ext4 [03:50] ok how? [03:50] I would copy paste, but IRC is on my laptop, having issues with Ubuntu on my desktop. [03:51] Why is only initrd present inside /boot and not initramfs on Ubuntu 20.04? [03:53] qualitycoder: format your /dev/sdb1 from ext4 to vfat [03:53] qualitycoder: mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdb1 [03:54] after that follow the forum link I sent you [03:55] xbfrog: like you deleted thomas.tsai file [03:55] xbfrog: find one with mono [03:55] do I run that mkfs command from outside the chroot? From inside I got a message that it contains a mounted filesystem [03:56] mono-official-stable.list is the only one [03:56] xbfrog: delete it.. it's a 32 bit pkg and doesn't work with your arch [03:56] ok [03:57] qualitycoder: if you're in live env. it's safe to unmount [03:58] Hi, how can I disable use of ethernet port when I use WiFi all the time? I see that on powertop, ethernet network interface is reporting high power consumption - https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/yL5q85fm/Screenshot_20200917_092524.png [03:59] rm: cannot remove '/etc/apt/sources/mono-offical-stable.list': No such file or directory [03:59] but i see it [03:59] not the right command? [03:59] qualitycoder: to know where /dev/sdb1 is mounted.. just run '$ findmnt /dev/sdb1' [04:00] xbfrog: see what's the name of the file.. just type in first three words and hit TAB it should autocomplete [04:00] it's mounted on /media/ubuntu-budgie/[some uuid] [04:01] ok [04:03] it was mounted to /boot/efi but after unmounting it, it moved to there, but even after that, I still get the same "mounted filesystem" message [04:04] sudo rm -r /etc/apt/sources/mono at this point tab does nothing [04:05] xbfrog: isn't it suppose to be /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono.. [04:05] ah i think i got it [04:06] yep goti t [04:06] took me a min to think what next :) [04:07] http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2020/08/pinta-1-7-released-install-ubuntu-20-04/ [04:07] ok...NOW run pinta? :) [04:10] can you now run pinta? [04:10] will try now [04:10] Does ubuntu load into ram when running from a live usb? [04:12] Hallcyon: no, unless you have a parameter setup in the grub script [04:12] toram ? [04:13] yes [04:13] I think so [04:13] cool, I will be using usb 1.1 so II think that would be a good idea [04:14] yeah, pinta opened [04:14] good. [04:14] does the font look alright? [04:14] took it a minute [04:14] yes [04:14] well then have fun [04:15] thank you :) [04:16] hi qualitycoder, is everything alright? [04:16] no, I'm still getting that mounted filesystem message even after running umount on it [04:17] $ sudo umount /(wherever it's mounted) [04:18] I just said, I already ran umount on it, and I'm still getting the mounted filesystem message when trying to run mkfs [04:20] without unmounting you can't change the fs [04:21] when I run findmnt, it now points to /media/ubuntu-budgie/[some uuid] [04:23] cause now it's mounted to your live cd [04:25] ok, I think the mkfs worked. lsblk seems to be showing it as vfat [04:25] good [04:25] now follow the forum guide I sent you [04:26] don't just copy and paste before you mess up.. know what you're doing as you type the commands [04:28] same exact output as last time [04:37] I'm getting the same output as last time, but I'm going to reboot the desktop and see if anything has changed [04:39] ok, I am still getting a light grey screen, but it is showing an error now "error: can't find command 'fwsetup' [04:59] ik this is a bit off topic but I was about to ask if the 18.04-mini installer had an install location selector and then it popped up on my HP elitebook 2560p that I happen to be installing it on from netboot [05:12] Hi, I'm trying to set a background image for grub. I've both used grub-customizer and also tried manually edit /etc/defaults/grub and then "update-grub" and also I've tried once to do "grub-mkconfig" ... but all these cases grub didn't dispaly image it seems it fail finding the image to display it (most probably). The image is in /usr/share/images/grub/sth.tga [05:17] output of your grub.cfg? [05:18] 1) JPG/JPEG images must be 8-bit (256 color) [05:18] 2) Images should be non-indexed, RGB [05:24] digup thanks for your help earlier. I'm getting ready to give up and just reformat everything. I think I'm in an even worse place now than I was before, and it's getting really frustrating. [05:26] digup I hope that doesn't sound bad. I'm not blaming you for anything. I'm legitimately thanking you for your help. ( I read it after I hit enter, and it looks like I'm blaming you for it, so I thought I would send this second message, lol) [05:32] hello all. while I am trying to install opencv by using "pip install flask opencv-python" it is showing the following error [05:32] ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: command: /usr/bin/python /home/chaitanya/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/pep517/_in_process.py get_requires_for_build_wheel /tmp/tmpP3xFRo cwd: /tmp/pip-install-3Tl9ZG/opencv-python Complete output (22 lines): Traceback (most recent call last): File [05:32] "/home/chaitanya/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/pep517/_in_process.py", line 280, in main() File "/home/chaitanya/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/pep517/_in_process.py", line 263, in main json_out['return_val'] = hook(**hook_input['kwargs']) File [05:32] "/home/chaitanya/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/pep517/_in_process.py", line 114, in get_requires_for_build_wheel return hook(config_settings) File "/tmp/pip-build-env-jlGecj/overlay/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools/build_meta.py", line 146, in get_requires_for_build_wheel return [05:32] self._get_build_requires(config_settings, requirements=['wheel']) File "/tmp/pip-build-env-jlGecj/overlay/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools/build_meta.py", line 127, in _get_build_requires self.run_setup() File "/tmp/pip-build-env-jlGecj/overlay/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools/build_meta.py", line 243, in run_setup [05:32] self).run_setup(setup_script=setup_script) File "/tmp/pip-build-env-jlGecj/overlay/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools/build_meta.py", line 142, in run_setup exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'), locals()) File "setup.py", line 448, in main() File "setup.py", line 99, in main % {"ext": [05:32] re.escape(sysconfig.get_config_var("EXT_SUFFIX"))} File "/usr/lib/python2.7/re.py", line 210, in escape s = list(pattern) TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable ----------------------------------------ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: /usr/bin/python [05:33] /home/chaitanya/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/pep517/_in_process.py get_requires_for_build_wheel /tmp/tmpP3xFRo Check the logs for full command output.

I want multiple other people to be able to connect and see what's going on on that screen with as little pain as possible, however I don't want them to be able to control the input, or be able to crash the remote system. Just a low-priority read-only slave. I also dont want incoming connections to cause popups that [14:43] would visually annoy the primary user, they're only watchers, not participants. [14:44] team viewer? [14:44] ahm, it shows a message when connected [14:44] Teamviewer routes through the internet, my experience with it was poor. Also by default it transfers audio unless the person CONNECTING chooses not to. [14:44] i think..? [14:45] ok [14:45] this would all be on a LAN [14:45] what was the thigie i tried a while ago... i forgot the name [14:46] also having multiple people connected to one system will surely trip their "suspected commercial usage" . I got it as a home user with just me connecting to my PC. [14:46] there's a bunch, I figured I'd ask for recomemndations here instead of trying them one by one and having to figure out the capabilities of each [14:48] rangergord: For something as specialized as this - you're going to have to do some research and see what works best for you [14:49] allright, guess there goes my day [14:49] thanks [14:57] rangergord: You might even want to see if leveraging some video conferencing software with screensharing like Jitsi works [14:58] That's fully open-source + the screen sharing works on Linux desktops [15:25] I'm trying to work with ANSYS and all of its scripts 1) start with #!/bin/sh and 2) are full of bash-isms [15:25] How do I remove bad service from systemctl? [15:26] any ideas how I can make /bin/sh point to /bin/bash just for ANSYS without broking the rest of the system? [15:27] rapidwave: bad service? [15:27] dTal: huh? [15:27] Yes, systecmtl says t is bad [15:27] rapidwave: which service? [15:28] mysql [15:28] msqld.service [15:28] rapidwave: remove/purge mysql should remove the service [15:28] rapidwave: or look at your logs and fix the problem [15:28] leftyfb: I'm sorry I don't understand your question [15:29] dTal: that makes 2 of us. If you need to parse bash-isms, then you need to specify #!/bin/bash [15:29] Yes, I know. Tell ANSYS [15:30] dTal: you'll need to contact ANSYS for support then. Pointing /bin/sh to /bin/bash is a terrible idea [15:30] Apparently on Red Hat and stuff /bin/sh is /bin/bash [15:30] there are about 16 thousand scripts in ANSYS [15:31] out of curiosity, what would break on Ubuntu is I did make that link permanently? [15:31] *if [15:33] mysql cannot connect to /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock [15:34] Says it doesn't exist [15:34] rapidwave: if you're looking to troubleshoot mysql, you might be better off asking in #ubuntu-server [15:40] hi folks, could I get some help, I have apt-get a program, its mega old and the software is one of these in dev ones where you need the latest [15:40] how can I best pull out the old one and then add the sources for the updated one [15:41] sine0: You can't [15:42] Ubuntu ships with a frozen archive for a release, it only gets major bug and security fixes [15:43] you mean I cant, in no way whatsoever, uninstall this software I have installed and then I cant install an updated version? [15:44] Oh, there are ways [15:44] yea i have done it before on linux installs, i know its "not the done thing" but like everyones doing it. like dope [15:44] It's just *ubuntu* isn't going to ship you an updated package for that software [15:45] how do i uninstall an apt-get package [15:45] apt-get remove [15:46] The easiest option is to see if the upstream author provides ubuntu packages [15:47] they have given me link [15:47] [PPA](https://launchpad.net/~freecad-maintainers/+archive/ubuntu/freecad-daily) [15:52] hi [15:52] my cronjobs won't run [15:52] i tried testing with `* * * * * /bin/echo "cron works" >> /tmp/file` [15:52] and it doesn't create the file [15:52] what should i do? === dominic35 is now known as dominic34 === wodencafe is now known as wodencafe^_^ === wodencafe^_^ is now known as wodencafe [16:11] bah no patience these days [16:22] greetings, i have a problem. i had the old computer, and things worked fine, i got another one after it broke down, and rather than reinstalling os i have simply taken out the harddrives and put them here. in the beginning everything worked fine, but in a few days i lost the ability to turn on the sound via hdmi, the mixer shows that it is "disconnected". i am on xubuntu 18.04 === albech1 is now known as albech [16:44] https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/3ZFSZ3x962/ I can't seem to find much about "Lost carrier" or "DHCP lease lost" as it pertains to wifi. Anyone seen this? We didn't see this with 16.04 but do on 18.04. I have ipv6 disabled. power management disabled. Using multiple wifi chipsets/drivers. This is on Ubuntu server using systemd and wpa_supplicant. === dominic35 is now known as dominic34 [17:08] Hey, Do you think this could work on Ubuntu: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000292492102.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.c5cd775cjIQ6Ge&algo_pvid=20613d80-8622-43b5-a166-e11938392c13&algo_expid=20613d80-8622-43b5-a166-e11938392c13-7&btsid=0bb0624016003623271835049e8321&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ [17:09] Hm one guy said it's not BLE 5 but 4. [17:10] HCI 9.X === prappl93-away is now known as prappl93 === ace_me1 is now known as ace_me [18:44] A start job for unit boot.mount has finished with a failure. [18:44] The job identifier is 68 and the job result is failed. [18:50] Have all file systems mounted OK? [19:21] Hi, I have two mounted ntfs drives on my computer that are read only. How do I change it to read write and have my user name as owner? [19:23] moonfmdesire: sudo mount -o remount,rw /mountpoint [19:25] moonfmdesire: for the permissions you might need to chown the whole dir or remount while specifying the uid/guid [19:25] sudo: mount-o: command not found [19:26] moonfmdesire: needs a space in there [19:26] mount -o [19:27] Now the drives are not mounted [19:27] : - ( [19:28] EriC^^: yeah doesn't ntfs write 777 by default? [19:28] moonfmdesire: did you get an error message? [19:28] no [19:29] hello everyone [19:30] lsblk shows the drives but thunar or whathaveyou does not [19:30] H'm. I just went with the default options: /dev/sdd1 on /media/ext type fuseblk (rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096) [TOSHIBA EXT] [19:32] * jlj waves at abyssangel [19:33] So reinstall Ubuntu to resolve this issue? [19:33] Yikes no! [19:33] Wait! :-) [19:33] Does blkid say it's ntfs? [19:34] no it does not [19:36] jlj, But,I installed and formatted the drives myself [19:36] I dualboot [19:37] Maybe that is causing the issue...? [19:37] It's a pain to reinstall ubuntu [19:37] I see. Still seems extreme. So they're clean filesystems? [19:37] Yes, I agree! [19:37] :-) [19:38] but the drive permissions cannot be changed [19:38] I did all the chown chmoding and nothing, just read only [19:38] I assume you've install ntfs-3g, yes? [19:38] Yeah, you won't be able to change anything until it's mounted rw. [19:39] what is ntfs 3q? [19:39] what is the install package? [19:40] moonfmdesire, since it's a dual boot system you probably have windows "fast boot" enabled which basically turns shutdown into a suspend, and leaves the file systems dirty (uncommitted changes in the suspended os) [19:41] rfm, I do not have fastboot and do not enable that [19:41] my boot time is about three minutes per os [19:41] more or less [19:41] Ah. I've had problems with dual boot and fast boot. Didn't think of that. [19:42] Yes, ntfs-3g (g not q) is a package to install. [19:42] I already have ntfs-3g apparently [19:42] What a pain [19:43] Figured. Even if you don't think it's dirty, might be worth running fsck. [19:44] I think it only does this for linux file systems [19:44] I can reboot and run Windows utilities [19:44] But I think it will not change anything [19:44] So basically there is nothing I can do [19:44] Except work on the files from windows [19:45] H'm, learning myself at the moment... What about ntfsfix? [19:47] Or even ntfsinfo -m to start with... [19:47] -mv for verbose [19:47] jlj, So basically, you gave me commands that might even destroy my drives [19:48] jlj, Because you do not know yet [19:48]
