I have an old backup in an ISO format, and it is huge. I am unable to mount it, as it says that it is possibly corrupt. Running file on it shows that it is possibly an NTFS partition. I can't remember how to mount this, and I am wondering if it is possible at all.

[11:00] Hello, [11:00] hey [11:03] Unfortunately, I have to temporarely install Windows on a laptop. (Nvidia Optimus technology, tried one week to make it work on Linux, without success). But I have some trouble to create a bootable usb stick from a ISO. I tried few solutions (dd, gnome disk restauration), but the laptop doesn't boot on it. (bios already checked, "insert proper boot [11:03] device"). Can I have some advice please ? [11:04] Louisina For me, I had to open in Gparted and ensure the boot flag was selected. [11:04] Speiros, Ok, I'll check this. [11:05] Dear all - I tried to make a full disk encryption on my laptop with LUKS following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_2019 [11:05] Boot flag wasn't checked. I check it and try. [11:05] Ok [11:06] Speiros: https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/easily-create-windows-10-bootable-usb-ubuntu [11:07] Hi jeremy31 :) [11:08] Speiros, doesn't work. [11:08] Dear all - I tried to make a full disk encryption on my laptop with LUKS following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_2019 - Everything was successful and after restart I get the command line prompt that is shown at the bottom of this instruction page. I cannot write the master password there, and regardless of what I write + press enter, it takes me to grub [11:08] jeremy31, Thx for the link, I'll look at it. [11:08] command line prompt. As far as I see, the encryption was successful but the system does not start properly after restart and I end up in grub. Any advice? [11:09] Louisina If it doesn't work again, it might be the UEFI thingy...from that you can tell I'm not too savvy with it. It worked for me on one lappy a long time ago, but I don't remember it. [11:10] Speiros, Tried in both modes, UEFI and BIOS. [11:10] Louisina Okay. Sounds above my knowledge level. Someone else might know though. === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius [11:10] antagomir Sorry, but I haven't had success with LUKS either. [11:18] Speiros ok hmm - ecryptfs then I guess [11:20] I hope it works for you. What OS are you loading? [11:20] 20:04? [11:23] Louisina: unfortunately you cant dd a windows iso and have it boot, but if you're going to boot it in uefi mode it's very easy to create the bootable usb [11:23] do you know if you will be using uefi or legacy bios?

I am use "tc" to force TCP packets to be dropped between a program on my desktop and a server to which I am connecting via WiFi. This works nicely but when I tell tc to drop 95% of packets, it literally includes everything that goes out through that WiFi's interface, which includes my web browsing and an SSH session to that server. [14:53] I wonder what kind of a tool I can use to make another, kind of a virtual interface for packets to that server to go through and which I will then use tc with to drop packets at will without interfering with the other connections. [14:54] I am just asking for some general, high-level directions and keywords to look up, I can work out the details myself. Thanks a lot. [15:00] wolfram: Do the testing in a live CD VM [15:01] jpds: Oh, no, there is too much setup involved. [15:02] jpds: In the sense that the program here needs it, not the Live CD.

[18:20] @lotuspsychje - sure, which logs to begin with?

Specifically, they launch in a non-resizable window and the controls for the mouse don't work. This happens every time. No idea if this is the place to put this. [18:29] However, I tried uninstalling the NVIDIA drivers and using the open source community nvidia ones. I tried ppa purge for the obilaf ppa. Rebooted between steps. No dice. [18:29] MikeRL: Perhaps ask the makers of the game? [18:29] Groovy didn't have this issue till recent months. [18:29] adfeno, Steam doesn't offer game specific support. [18:29] Logs - https://anotepad.com/notes/acrywa8j [18:30] MikeRL: Source 1 [18:30] I'm wondering if anyone here is on 20.10, has Steam with HL2, Episode 1, or Episode 2, and has the same issue. [18:30] I can also try Steam Linux forums. [18:31] MikeRL: same goes for HL2, ep 2 and ep 3, ask those. [18:31] cpare: IO errors are usually not great news, hd might go flaky, you might wanna take backups and test your HD [18:32] MikeRL: I'm not a fosterer of Steam, but any senile repository/store surely Steam has detailed information on who is responsible for providing that game [18:32] s/surely Steam has/surely has/ [18:33] I will go back and check sr0 [18:33] I guess that could be the cause, but my mouse just dies for a few seconds at a time each time it happens [18:34] Aha. [18:34] but I can still alt/tab and do keyboard commands without issue [18:34] I found something on the forums from a month ago. [18:34] Bug in Mutter causes it. [18:34] https://steamcommunity.com/app/220/discussions/0/2963893984920611773/ [18:34] so it's not a system lock - it "feels like" the old IRQ/DMA issues from the 90's [18:56] lotuspsychje: I just missed cpare, but could it be that he was playing the video off a USB drive and was simply running out of power on the USB bus? [18:59] Hi. I'm trying to get a USB printer working on 20.04.1. Printing a test page stalls; syslog says, "io/hpmud/musb.c 515: invalid claim_interface 7/1/2: Device or resource busy" [19:00] Hello all - I'm having an odd issue where I click and icon on the desktop to drag it and it won't release back to the desktop once I click it. Anyone seen that? [19:00] press escape [19:01] yeah escape releases it [19:01] but I cant move the icon to another location [19:01] its just stuck in that place on the desktop [19:01] the desktop-icon shell extension is iffy at best, it doesnt behave like nautilus [19:01] you can't change position, it auto-arranges every time [19:01] Petruchio, on some usb printers i have had to restart the printer then it works [19:02] What's odd is I can move the Trashcan and the folder referencing my home directory [19:02] but any files I've placed on the desktop are stuck in one spot [19:02] yes it's a bit inconsistent. so i disabled it [19:02] I see [19:02] I will look in to disabling it also [19:03] all applications > extensions > desktop icons > disable. alternatively you can install "places" extension. it will give you shortcut to desktop folder among others [19:04] kk4ewt: Thanks. [19:04] Back again with my odd keyboard/mouse issue.... [19:04] This is 100% related to my new keyboard [19:04] how do you tell the VSCode linter to ignore certain files until I'm ready? [19:04] it won't check the file i'm working on because another file is messed up. [19:04] when my mouse hangs I just realized I can unplug the keyboard and get the mouse to immediately respond. [19:05] wrong chat [19:06] @badbodh Where do I find "all Applications" ? [19:07] ExcessiveAggro: erm.... you're on ubuntu default (gnome) right? so all applications are in "All" section of application shell dash thingy stuff what-you-call-it [19:08] or just type "extension" from activity view and it will search for you [19:08] yeah 20.04 - I click the application (9 dot) thing and I'm in the ALL APPLICATIONS but it doesnt show any extensions icon [19:08] maybe it's under some folder. just search for it [19:09] i searched and nothing comes up for extensions [19:09] not installed [19:09] juust found it in the app store [19:09] it comes pre-installed, maybe you removed it at some point without knowing. install it then [19:11] Interesting... is it possible they've deprecated this? I just installed it and it says desktop icons is not compatible with this version of cinnamon [19:13] I will keep searching a bit [19:15] oh you're on cinnamon. then right click and see if it's auto-arranging by name or something [19:17] I'm not sure honestly... I did a standard Ubuntu install so it's using whatever desktop environment comes with that. I'm googling to see how i determine which desktop I'm using [19:19] type "echo $DESKTOP_SESSION" in terminal, or install "inxi" package and run "inxi -S" command in terminal [19:19] ubuntu standard install uses gnome-shell. it doesn't have typical windows like UI [19:19] gnome 3.36.4 [19:20] any suggestions for other desktops that are better with icons on the desktop? [19:20] Or just better in general? [19:20] lsb_release -a [19:20] every desktop has their own set of problems and advantages [19:20] I see [19:21] I will read up a bit to see what I might like. Appreciate th ehelp badbodh [19:21] ExcessiveAggro: do you have "gnome-shell-extension-prefs" package? [19:22] i just did a sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-prefs ... and its asking me if i want to install... so I'm assuming no [19:23] tieinv: that command doesn't show desktop environment. only the distribution version [19:24] ExcessiveAggro: aha, that's the one you use to manage extensions. for some reason gnome-tweaks is broken [19:24] hey I have it now and i can turn off the icons [19:24] So in windows I often placed icons on my desktop for things I click most often. maybe a link to a website, a link to a SSH session i want to initiate. What do people in linux do for that type of workflow? [19:25] If you dont have desktop icons [19:25] echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP [19:25] go to /usr/share/applications and copy-paste the launchger [19:25] got it [19:26] did that work badbodh [19:26] tieinv: yes, thank you [20:02] What do I do when a package is "kept back"? apt-get upgrade just says "The following packages have been kept back: libc++1". It says this even when I do apt-get dist-upgrade or apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade. [20:05] Well, aptitude figured it out. It needed to install libc++1-11{a} libc++abi1-11{a} and remove libc++1-10{u} libc++abi1-10{u} before it could install libc++1. I wish apt was good enough to figure that out on its own. [20:21] I've got a VM of the most recent ubuntu server running with from a USB drive (passthrough) and I've got a partition on the drive labeled "CIDATA" with /user-data and /meta-data files. [20:21] Should adding 'autoinstall ds=nocloud' to the GRUB menu be enough to autoinstall? It's not working for me [20:28] I can enter the shell in the installer and see the partition with fdisk --list, of type "Microsoft basic data" [20:31] and by inspecting dmesg I can confirm `Command line: initrd=/casper/initrd autoinstall ds=nocloud; --- priority=low` [21:23] after following the openrazer installation guide. shouldnt I see an app or some kind of configuration tool? [21:27] lepricated: maybe it's folded into the general OS settings GUI [21:28] you should be able to find the individual executables, though [21:28] dpkg -L packagename | egrep -i 'bin|exec', etc. [21:35] looks like it olny does the driver and I need to install an app to interact with the drivers [22:44] I have been using ubuntu since 6.04, but it is time so say good bye to the desktop version. Too many problems [22:44] get the server [22:47] the server are not the problem. Debian based, but my main issue is the wifi [22:47] servers [22:51] that's most of the time, a chipset manufacturer problem, not an ubuntu one. [22:52] use more wired networking. less packet loss, higher stability, less power consumption [23:54] hi [23:54] im trying to pair a bluetooth speaker with blueman-assistant [23:54] blueman-assistant 17.53.55 ERROR blueman-assistant:198 err : Authentication Failed [23:54] it's never prompting me for the pin, what to do?
