[00:14] Ox1de: Xlnt. That guide I posted should cover it. [00:15] Ox1de: Yeah, I think leftyfb posted the same one. === five610 is now known as five61 === flyname is now known as fullname [00:56] * filename in ubuntu has modes: +cntj 5:10 === scoobydoob is now known as scoobydoo === scoobydoob is now known as scoobydoo === M4he is now known as mahe === filename is now known as fillname === fillname is now known as ouims_tgz === ouims_tgz is now known as ouims_lzh === ouims_lzh is now known as normalhuman === normalhuman is now known as populargay === keypushe- is now known as keypusher === rs20091 is now known as rs2009 [02:59] How would I run mkinitramfs and install an entry for a system in systemd-boot, while not running booted from that system? I messed something out and I'm able to boot from a Pop USB drive but when I try to just reinstall the linux-image-* packages under a chroot booted from USB, it tells me (in several ways) that it can't find the root device. [03:45] Quick question for y'all - If a software package is in Main for a certain release of Ubuntu (20.04 in particular), will it remain in Main for the lifetime of that release, or is it possible for it to move repositories? [03:47] arraybolt3[m]: maybe the package guys know that1 in #ubuntu-release [03:48] Good point, but someone who knows way more than me warned me that #ubuntu-release is not a good place for a newbie to say stuff in, so since it's a support question, and #ubuntu-release is for coordinating archive activities, I'm a bit hesitant to go barging in there. [03:49] agree their busy guys, still you will notice internal conversations in that channel aswell [04:01] arraybolt3[m], it will stay in main, packages usually do not get demoted after release [04:02] That's what I thought, but is that the case even if the upstream developer officially EOL's a version of the product? [04:03] Is there a way to ask ubuntu to stop deleting a workspace if it's empty? [04:06] ogra: I'm trying to figure out if rabbitmq-server is going to stay in Main even when VMWare officially EOL's the version currently in Focal in July 2022. [04:09] arraybolt3[m], packages are rarely moved from one repository to another during the lifetime; usually it's made during the development cycle of the next release (not after release) [04:09] deego: im using gnome-shell-extensions wich contains a workspaces indicator (static workspaces) [04:09] OK, makes sense. I was trying to answer a support question on the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list that a person supposedly from Microsoft was asking. It dawns on me though, I should probably leave that for someone from Canonical to reply to. [04:10] (I can't think of a single example outside of the development cycle; i do recall mention past standard support, eg. 16.04 ESM where some packages are supported now via snap only) [04:10] (I don't think someone from Microsoft wants to get their security info from a gmail.com address...) [04:12] guiverc: Thanks! [04:13] lotuspsychje: that's what i'm using too, i think. I'd like to have 4 workspaces, empty or not. It seems it likes up to 1 empty workspace. Are you able to see more than 1? [04:14] deego: check on the right upper corner, i use 6 https://www.deviantart.com/lotuspsychje/art/Jammy-910192561 [04:15] lotuspsychje: yeah, confirmed, same setup here. Jammy, and 4 spaces, same extension. [04:15] lotuspsychje: yeah, i see 6. and at least two of these are empty? [04:16] i even named the 4 spaces, thinking it will keep it from deleting them. [04:18] deego: did you check systemsettings/multitasking if workspaces are static? [04:19] lotuspsychje: thanks! setting it to fixed there! [04:20] thats a new section since jammy [04:20] thanks! nice. === diskin_ is now known as diskin === gr33n7001 is now known as gr33n7007h [06:05] hello guys. I know that this is probably a weird request, but I'd like for a specific user to have access edit the netplan config file and to use `netplan apply`. what would be the best way to achieve this? [06:13] PeGaSuS: you might wanna ask that in #ubuntu-server , maybe also provide your story why [06:20] I'll do it later then, since I need to go to work. thanks! [08:57] Hi good pipol :) [08:58] I downloaded a script to convert webm to mp3 but it doesnt work. Do you know any ubuntu tools for this? [09:00] brkcore: ffmpeg [09:00] gordonjcp, does it have a command to convert folders? [09:00] I will install it now, thanks [09:01] brkcore: no, but you'd just write a script to do that [09:02] I just downloaded mp3con.sh from github, but something is wrong and doesnt do anything [09:04] https://pastebin.com/QvzyNf25 [09:05] i [09:06] brkcore: okay [09:06] brkcore: but you haven't run it yet? [09:07] when I ran ./mp3con.sh [09:07] nothing comes up [09:08] brkcore: when you say "nothing comes up", what exactly happens? [09:08] bash: ./mp3con.sh: No such file or directory [09:08] okay, and is mp3con.sh in the directory you're currently in? [09:08] ooops! [09:09] okay [09:10] I am embarrassed to ask ... how do use locate,find or search? locate mp3con.sh? [09:10] oh yes [09:11] found it, in home directory. Thank you [09:19] gordonjcp, it works, just had to put the script into the directory with the files. Thank you [09:21] no worries [09:21] brkcore: glad you got it working [09:21] brkcore: you realise of course that no-one in here has *ever* made that mistake before [09:22] brkcore: especially not me [09:23] what mistake, what do you mean? [09:26] * filename accepting name changes requests on port 5493 ... === five619 is now known as five61 [12:29] were the 5.13 kernel packages recently removed from the 20.04 apt repository? [12:32] chilversc, 5.13 was the kernel from 21.10; it's no longer supported. GA kernel remains 5.4 for 20.04, and HWE is now 5.15 or the 22.04 GA kernel stack (HWE advanced thru 20.10, 21.04, 21.10 before reaching final kernel from 22.04) [12:33] yeah, I was installing 5.13 from HWE, I don't really want to go up to 5.15 just yet as that hasn't been tested [12:33] which is the secure/irreversible one, setuid() or seteuid() [12:34] chilversc: We do have an intensive testing process that every release goes through that should ensure the kernel is tested well. And if it makes your hardware go nuts, you can uninstall the new one and fall back to the old one. [12:35] arraybolt3[m]: yeah, but I'm using FS-Cache, and that's been going through some changes in recent kernel versions [12:36] 5.15 hasn't been tested??? I've been using it for months (jan or feb as my daily box.. it's been used by lots of people well before release) [12:36] Oh. Hmm, well you could test it in a VM and make sure it's working to your liking. [12:36] guiverc: it has been tested in general, it's just that I've not tested for our very specifc NFS setup to ensure any recent changes match the performance that we need [12:37] I know 5.13 works, and I know that the new implementation in 5.17 is too slow, but havn't tested 5.15 or 5.16 === tomreyn changed the topic of #ubuntu to: Official Ubuntu Support Channel | IRC Guidelines: https://ubottu.com/y/gl | #ubuntu supports Ubuntu and official flavors; versions 18.04, 20.04, 22.04 | Unofficial derivatives: use your distro's support channel, not here. | IRC info: https://ubottu.com/y/irc | Pastes to https://paste.ubuntu.com/ | Download: https://ubottu.com/y/dl [12:37] in some early experiments I was getting stuck CPU threads on 5.16 but now I suspect that issue is also present in 5.13 so maybe 5.16 just has better reporting [12:38] 21.10's EOL wasn't exactly a secret; 9 months after release; meaning it was pretty easy to guess when the 5.13 would change to 5.15... just as it did in prior years.. Ubuntu cycles are very predictable (been so since at least 2012) [12:40] sure, but I wasn't expecting the packages to be simply deleted from the apt repository so that I can no longer fetch them [12:42] chilversc, if you look (eg. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-hwe-5.13/) you'll likely find they are there, just removed from release files (ie. indexes on your system) [12:44] ah yeah, they are still there [12:44] though I guess that would mean I have to download all the dependencies, etc myself for now === CNCFR06__ is now known as ViktorasCNC [12:54] Hi all [12:54] .o/ [12:55] wez, o/ [12:56] BluesKaj: The . in the .o/ is important!

If you think that you should have this capability, be sure that you are identified before trying again. The 'whoami' command can tell you if you're identified.

[12:58] arraybolt3[m]: OK, thanks [13:08] what does this mean https://paste.debian.net/plain/1247282 [13:11] hans_: most likely a permission error [13:11] blasphemy! who dares tell root he doesn't have permission [13:12] hans_ Check the file's immutable bit. [13:12] how [13:13] stat [13:14] another thing to check is if that is on a read-only mount, or a remote file system [13:16] neither. it doesn't show up in cat /proc/mounts at all [13:16] and its not readonly, i can create folders in it [13:17] dang actually i can't; i can create /home.old/foo and /home.old/admin/foo but i can not create /home.old/admin/conf/foo [13:17] hans_: yeah, that sounds like the conf directory has had its immutable bit set [13:18] hans_: Run "stat /path/to/directory" and that should tell you. [13:18] ... chatter -R -i /home.old [13:18] (Unless you're being faced with a failing drive, which would also explain this problem - sadly that one has a much pricier fix, i.e. buy a new drive and recover the data from backups) [13:19] i dont see anything unusual in stat, https://paste.debian.net/plain/1247284 [13:19] links: 5 [13:19] that was unexpected.. [13:19] But what about the home.old directory itself? [13:20] hans_: Actually, stat was the wrong command - try lsattr. [13:21] don't understand what that means but https://termbin.com/juan [13:22] hans_: ----i---------e------- home.old/admin/conf [13:22] hans_: the i indicates the immutable bit is set, as you can see on conf [13:22] Bingo. That's the immutable bit. [13:22] hans_: So now do "chattr -i home.old/admin/conf". [13:22] I wonder if that was done because all of those directories are actually sharing the same conf folder as a hard link [13:24] chattr -R -i home.old fixed it! thanks [13:29] 👍️ === Furor is now known as Colere [13:42] hi [13:43] am trying to dual boot win 7 and lubuntu but when i want to create partions for lubuntu it says max partions reached?? [13:44] yasser: hrrm can happen with MBR partitioning [13:44] yasser: does it not automatically sort out extended partitions ...? [13:44] yasser: if you don't do manual partitioning and just say "install alongside" ? [13:44] i have 4 partions on windows and 2 are 100% free [13:45] yasser: do you mean empty? [13:45] yasser: do you have a full backup of all data in any case? [13:45] like they are not used [13:45] yasser: you have to resize one or more of your existing partitions to make room first [13:46] yasser: then you could just delete 1 or both unused partitions... maybe resizing one of them [13:46] yasser: then you won't have this problem of 4 primary-partitions [13:46] leftyfb i reszied one and freed up 10 gb for installion [13:46] yasser: I would delete one if you can, as if you have 4 "primary" partitions you can't create anymore... [13:46] yasser: combine the 2 partitions that are free [13:46] i deleted one but its still the same [13:47] actually, yeah, delete them [13:47] the only partitions you should have are those that are required for Windows [13:47] i deleted one and it turned into "unallocated space" [13:47] yasser: good [13:47] now do the same for the other one [13:47] yasser: any reason you can't delete both of them ? [13:47] but the issue still happens [13:48] yasser: I would try this: close the installer, use 'sudo gparted' -or- windows disk managedment to delete the extra partitions [13:48] yasser: then boot into installer [13:49] enyc i deleted entire partion (74gb) but nothing happend [13:49] yasser: what do you mean ? in the installer? in sudo geparted? details matter [13:49] in windows disk manager [13:50] yasser: I wonder if you have windows active disk or somethnig silly [13:50] yasser: ok, so how many partitions do you have left, what's on them and how much unallocated space is available? [13:50] yasser: I'd be booting the ubuntu stick and running "sudo gparted" at this point [13:50] leftyfb 3 left and 74 unallocated space [13:51] yasser: ok, now reboot and boot back into the ubuntu installer [13:51] enyc i botted into lubuntu but the issue still happens [13:51] yasser: you didn't respond about "sudo gparted" [13:51] i didnt do any gparted stuff [13:52] yasser: try it, let us know what that says about the partitioning [13:52] i used lubuntu partion manager to allocate space for lubuntu but didnt work [13:52] yasser: so, boot ubuntu stick and use terminal or alt+f2 to run "sudo gparted" [13:52] yasser: and report here... [13:53] ok just a min [13:53] yasser: also, please take a screenshot of the error and upload somewhere for us to see [13:53] is there a way i can merge 2 partions in one? [13:54] yasser: if they are empty partitions, no need just delete them [13:54] leftyfb ok [13:54] not directly, no [13:54] also take a screenshot of gparted so we can see the partitions [13:54] +1 [13:54] ok [13:55] just a sec my hdd is a bit slow in rebooting i might take a while [13:55] yasser: while thats' happening, out of interest, what are you keeping win7 for? [13:56] i need it for a while [13:56] sure, what for? [13:56] my brother uses it [13:56] its' possible to set up windows in a virtualbox and stuff long story ;o [13:56] researching and studing [13:57] you can do all that on linux anyhow and win7 is out of security support now [13:57] GNOME Boxes is way better than VirtualBox for doing that sort of thing. [13:57] i will be keeping win 7 for a while untill he adjust [13:57] arraybolt3[m]: is that libvirt-based? [13:57] Yep. enyc [13:57] yasser: makes some sense, but I think you should delete the empty partitions, no need for windows to 'grow' any more. [13:58] i already deleted 2 [13:58] arraybolt3[m]: what is the current state-of-affairs with "differencing" disk-image snapshotting like virtualbox does ?? [13:58] the other 2 one for booting and one for storage [13:59] Ubuntu 22.04 installer likes to create EFI system partition even on non-EFI system these days as I understand it [13:59] enyc: He's on Lubuntu, it doesn't do that AFAIK. [13:59] am using lubuntu not ubuntu [13:59] arraybolt3[m]: does that not use ubiquity ? [13:59] enyc: I actually don't use snapshots all that much, I should test it out. [13:59] enyc: Nope, Calamares, not Ubiquity. [13:59] arraybolt3[m]: that is 'killer' virtualbox feature for me. [14:00] my laptop cant handle ubuntu according to ubuntu wepsite [14:00] yasser: what model laptop? [14:00] dell inspiron N4050 [14:00] yasser: xubuntu mint and various other flavours or derivatives exist too, of course =) anyhow.... I help out many of them. [14:00] yasser: I know from experience you can ignore the specs. If you've got 2 GB or more RAM, Lubuntu will work. [14:00] (And a 64-bit CPU, also important.) [14:01] arraybolt3[m]: friend in ZA has this Pentium-4-630 64bit HP with 2gb ram, wondering options for them. [14:01] 2gb of ram and ie-2310M 64bit [14:01] i3 2310M srry [14:01] I get impression "zram-config" worth installing even on slower machines, helps with the low ram if i'm not mistaken. [14:01] yasser: 2nd gen core is not a disaster, and RAM for that era is probably dirt-cheap to buy. [14:01] yasser: what model machine? [14:02] yasser: I think Lubuntu's good then. Though I'd remove Firefox and install Falkon once you get Lubuntu installed. [14:02] model is inspiron N4050 [14:02] i cant upgrade rams cuz i couldnt fins any compatible rams [14:04] and ebay dosent support my country so that not an option [14:04] yasser: bother I was about to say https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384936087773 very cheap/easy ddr3 sodimm [14:04] yea sadly i cant [14:04] yasser: basically it looks like normal ddr3 sodimm even just one 4gb module will be cheap and easy to fin, maybe you are in funny place I don't know =0 [14:05] not worth spending much on that machine but shouldn't be necessary [14:05] yasser: can you get us those screenshots? [14:05] yasser: so... "sudo gparted" in lubuntu installer ? [14:05] am in iraq sooooo yeah u could say that [14:05] not yet lol [14:05] srry [14:06] yasser: uerr lubuntu stick, don't start installer first [14:06] yasser: if it's taking this long, then you most certainly didn't delete those 2 partitions, reboot back into the installer and then try the installer again [14:06] am burnin lubuntu to the usb rn its about to finish [14:06] i reformatted earlier today [14:06] I presume alt+f2 likely to work, or terminal... "sudo gparted" first [14:06] yasser: lubuntu 22.04 image? or another? [14:06] yea the iso [14:07] its on 88 just a second [14:07] sorry am taking wayy to long [14:08] ok am rebooting into lubuntu rn i will disconnect and connect from my phone to the chat [14:08] arraybolt3[m]: I wonder if 'falkon' avoids the problem of firefox etc. needing SSE/SSE2 to work and not working on some 32bit systems, e.g. antix debian and similar [14:09] hi am back [14:10] sudo gparted right? [14:11] hi [14:11] sudo gparted right? [14:11] One moment... [14:11] ok [14:11] Yeah, "sudo gparted". [14:12] ok [14:14] it says command not found [14:14] sudo apt install gparted [14:14] ok [14:15] its installing === yasser is now known as tttttt === yasser61 is now known as yasser [14:17] i launched gparted [14:18] how can take a screenshot [14:19] i got the screenshot [14:19] enyc arraybolt3[m] [14:20] where do i upload it [14:20] yasser: can you upload it to imgur.com [14:20] 2 screenshots [14:20] and then link it here [14:20] ok just a sec [14:20] 1 showing partitions with gparted and the other of the error when you're trying to do the install [14:21] lok [14:22] https://imgur.com/a/AidJ87O [14:22] here is it [14:23] the 2 screens shots [14:23] don't create a new partition [14:24] go through the lubuntu installer and let it handle all that [14:24] then what should i do [14:24] Install into sda4. Or delete sda4, shrink sda3, and then install into the unallocated space. [14:24] though, why do you have 3 partitions of significant size for Windows ? [14:24] uh [14:24] arraybolt3[m]: pretty sure sda4 is the bootable Windows OS [14:24] it was like that when i got laptop [14:25] it was a hand me down sooo yea [14:25] Ah shoot you're right. Nevermind, don't do that. [14:25] (I saw the thing that made it look like no space was used...) [14:25] yasser: try going through the installer and pick the unallocated space [14:25] ok [14:26] (I don't think that will work, won't it need to create a 5th partition? Even if it's an extended one?) [14:27] I think he'll need to move the stuff out of sda3 into sda2, delete sda3, then install there. [14:27] And... yasser: You do have backups, right? [14:27] https://imgur.com/t41dtnK [14:27] Because this could go so badly if you don't. [14:27] arraybolt3[m]: you're making assumptions about what those other partitions are used for [14:27] backup for what [14:28] yasser: The multiple tens of gigabytes of important data on your system. [14:28] all i have is windows and opera and 2 games [14:28] nothing important [14:28] leftyfb: You're right, I should quit suggesting things like this. I've gotten used to Linux where every partition has a reasonable use that you're aware of, Windows from an OEM is... not that way. [14:28] Sorry. [14:28] np [14:29] yasser: OK. Do you have the ability to recover Windows 7 in the event something goes wrong? [14:29] (I've seen ntfs partition resizes blow up before, I'd hate for that to happen to you right here.) [14:29] no actually not [14:29] arraybolt3[m]: my suggestion, install Windows 10 onto this laptop from scratch choosing only 1 or 2 partitions for Windows if you have the option. Do not split it up until multiple partitions. Then install ubuntu [14:30] leftyfb no that only will complex things up [14:30] no, that will most certainly simplify everything [14:31] yasser: Well... sigh, be as careful as possible, if you end up with an all-Lubuntu system I apologize in advance. [14:31] and pick GPT ... then you have not the restrictions that using the ancient MBR technology enforces ... [14:31] maybe i could wait a couple months until my brother finish school and reformat the laptop [14:31] yasser: if it wasn't clear, I'm suggesting wiping the entire hard drive and installing Windows 10 as opposed to Windows 7. Then dual booting Ubuntu [14:31] like chose erase disk option [14:32] leftyfb the laptop wont handle win 10 [14:32] One important piece of data you might have is any passwords stored in Opera, make sure you have those written down somewhere or solidly memorized. [14:32] and i will delete it [14:32] True, 2 GB RAM is not Windows 10 friendly. I mean, technically it will work...ish... but not anything like acceptably well. [14:32] i will evantualy delete windows [14:33] and all email is opera are in my phone [14:33] yasser: What edition of Windows 7 is it? Home or Pro? [14:33] ultimate [14:33] idk if that a thing but it says windows 7 ultimate while booting [14:34] Hmm... I had an idea but I don't think it was so good after all, never mind. [14:34] Windows 7 Ultimate is a thing. [14:34] arraybolt3[m]: the other option is to figure out what is on the other partitions, if they're not important, delete them or copy the data to your main Windows partition and delete the extra partition [14:34] leftyfb: That's probably the best course of action here. [14:34] the c parition is importat [14:35] LOL yeah obviously. [14:35] yea lol [14:35] the d is empty [14:35] But it's sda3 I'm curious about - care to poke around in it with the file manager and tell us what you find? [14:35] sda3 could maybe be removed, also its file system seems to only span half the partition capacity [14:35] yasser: how big is the D partition? [14:36] i tried deleting it but lubuntu didnt recognize it unallocated space [14:36] leftyfb 74 gb [14:36] that's sda2 [14:36] yasser: But it's still there, so apparently it didn't delete. [14:36] all of them are 74 [14:36] 149 GB leftyfb [14:37] tomreyn: where do you get that? [14:37] in windows there is no 10 gb unallocated [14:37] but it shows i lubuntu [14:37] leftyfb: https://i.imgur.com/A1cvVIi.jpeg [14:37] yasser: No, two are ~70 GB (one bigger one smaller), then there's the gigantic one in the middle. That big one is sda3. [14:37] ah [14:38] arraybolt3[m] in lubutu it shows like that but its diffrent in windows [14:38] there is no 149 gb partion in windows for some reason [14:38] yasser: That sounds like Windows is hiding the giant partition for some reason then. How many drives does Windows show you? [14:38] 2 or 3? [14:39] windows show 3 partion the explorer but 4 in the manager [14:39] yasser: That sounds like an OEM recovery partition to me. Is there a way for you to delete the recovery partition from within Windows 7? (There might be a program in the laptop that lets you delete the recovery partition.) [14:39] it looks to me like you can delete sda3 and then move sda4 up against sda2 [14:39] the hidden partion has a files called boot [14:40] then you'll be able to install ubuntu [14:40] though you might need to repair windows [14:40] yasser: Try opening the file manager, enter the 149 GB partition, and show us what you see. That will help us have a better idea of whether it's save to delete or not. [14:40] *safe, not save [14:41] am yasser but from phone [14:42] i switched to windows to show you. some things [14:42] just a second [14:42] OK, that will help. [14:43] yasser99: if you're going to delete partitions (from the lubuntu installer) I would highly suggest following what arraybolt3[m] said and see what's on the sda3 partition before deleting it [14:44] i took screen shot of Windows explorer and the disk manager [14:46] hello [14:46] how to change file encoding on ubuntu? [14:46] imgur is not responding just a sec [14:46] Text file encoding? [14:46] maum idk srry [14:46] yes [14:47] textfile encoding [14:47] maum: Are you talking about UTF-8 vs UTF-16 etc, or Windows line ending vs Unix line ending? [14:47] from utf-8 to cp949 [14:47] I mean on ubuntu terminal [14:48] OK. And what flavour of Ubuntu are you using? Plain Ubuntu? Lubuntu? Kubuntu? etc. [14:48] just Ubuntu [14:48] Nice. One moment while I open an Ubuntu VM so I can find the option real quick... [14:49] https://imgur.com/a/zBrdSFq [14:49] here [14:49] that what windows show [14:50] Ah, I see it. It's using a dynamic disk. Sadly, I don't think there's any way to install Ubuntu on this system without wiping Windows entirely. [14:50] maum: iconv -f UTF-8 -t CP949 somedocument_utf-8.txt > somedocument_cp949.txt [14:50] yasser: Are you aware that Windows can not see/mount/use non-windows partitions? [14:50] tomreyn: ok, I will try this [14:50] jhutchins o [14:50] no [14:51] jhutchins: The disk is a dynamic disk - it's Microsoft's idea of LVM, and it's not compatible with Ubuntu, sadly. [14:51] and i cant access the 84 gb partition now [14:51] iconv: illegal input sequence at position 116 [14:51] You could try to convert the disk back to a basic disk, but that giant partition is actually composed of two volumes, which may present a roadblock. [14:52] maum: so the source is not in utf-8 format [14:52] i will be back [14:52] tomreyn: how can I find the source's encoding [14:52] ? === Guest45 is now known as jwm_TO [14:52] gtg be right back [14:53] I've just upgraded to 22.04 and now my dock has no favourites. Any ideas? [14:53] jwm_TO: put your favorites back [14:53] maum: running "file" against it may help. [14:53] Leftyfb: that doesn't seem to be working === diskin is now known as Guest611 === diskin_ is now known as diskin [14:55] I have favourites according to the giant list of apps, but they are not showing up on the dock [14:55] UTF-8 Unicode text, with CRLF line terminators [14:55] arraybolt3[m]: Do the "basic" disks work? [14:55] am back [14:56] https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/disk-management/change-a-dynamic-disk-back-to-a-basic-disk [14:56] That says dynamic is deprecated. [14:56] jhutchins: I believe so, at least they do according to this Stack Exchange Q&A: https://superuser.com/questions/335872/how-to-install-linux-on-a-dynamic-disk-without-losing-the-disk-configuration [14:57] �� ϼ� [14:57] "the system cant find the specified folder" error is happening rn [14:57] Is there a different channel that I should be querying to fix the problem with the dock upon upgrade to 22.04? [14:57] tomreyn: the text file have �� ϼ� character. [14:57] tomreyn: file util says it's utf-8 unicode [14:58] maum: you can use "enca" to guess the encoding of the source better than "file" can. [14:58] yasser: Crud. I don't see any way around this mess other than getting a Windows 7 DVD and reinstalling Windows from scratch. [14:58] This is like the worst possible Windows setup for trying to make a Linux dual-boot. [14:59] is there a way to disable the bluetooth settings part of Gnome, so I can manage my devices purely from the shell? [14:59] tomreyn: Universal transformation format 8 bits; UTF-8 [14:59] CRLF line terminators, it's same [14:59] Note I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 with Gnome 3.36.8 [15:00] maum: i don't know then. maybe try utf-16 for the input encoding [15:06] I've just upgraded to 22.04 and now my dock has no favourites. Any ideas? [15:10] jwm_TO, likely some leftover user config ... try to create a new user for a test to see that it isnt systemic (you can delete it after testing again) [15:16] ogra, thanks. will do [15:20] maum: actually, the "illegal input sequence at position 116" error may just mean that iconv is unable to translate this character because it has no representation in the target encoding [15:21] maum: re-run with -c if you want those characters dropped [15:26] maum, if you don't mind sharing that file (no sensitive information), you could upload it somewhere so that we could have a look === cryocaustik5 is now known as cryocaustik [16:27] I want to locate some space for lubuntu but it says that i can't because partions reached the max limit (re-ask because i didn't find an answer [16:28] yasser, what is the out put of sudo fdisk -l ? [16:28] in a pastebin [16:28]
