i want to create a "shared" ntfs partition on my disk. I have a bunch of unallocated space, but I already have 4 partitions and can't figure out how to create a logical partition in the unallocated space. tried gparted from live disk, but got the same error as from non-live and windows
jnewt 2017-01-26 07:47:32
my partitions are windows (small 100MB boot thing), windows (120GB), ubuntu (/), ubuntu (/home)
akik 2017-01-26 07:48:29
jnewt: you would need to create an extended partition first

Hello. I'm trying to remap my mouse thumb button. I've tried xte, xbindkeys, imwheel, and a few more. They all bind the mouse thumb to a key correctly, but there is an issue: when I am holding another mouse button (ie left click) and then I press the thumb button, then the thumb button will do nothing.
jnewt 2017-01-26 07:48:51
akik: how do i do that?
configuringmouse 2017-01-26 07:48:54
tested it with xev, having thumb_1 remapped to SPACE key, and while pressing thumb in fact printed space, pressing thumb while holding left click printed button 8 (default mouse thumb button), so S O M E H O W the sole act of holding a mouse button DENIES EVERY REMAP TOOL AVAILABLE FOR LINUX.

've googled for hours and there are some people who had my same issue, but no one provided an answer!!!!! i'm going crazy. I've been 4 hours on this. I just want my mouse thumb to behave as a keyboard key, why is it so complicated? Man, not even the basics are covered in this operating system!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP
akik 2017-01-26 07:49:09
jnewt: one solution could be moving the /home data to the / partition and then converting the /home partition to an extended partition
jnewt 2017-01-26 07:49:45
so i can't create an extended partition in addition to the 4 primary partitions I have?

deus402 2017-01-26 07:52:29
it was working fine and then it just stopped... everything seems configured right, not quite sure what i'm missing.
jnewt 2017-01-26 07:52:40
well, all of the instructions seem to be for moving /home to separate partition, not the other way around.
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:53:21
deus402, are you sure your traffic isn't being filtered somehow?
akik 2017-01-26 07:53:22
jnewt: you just need to move the /home data to / if it has the space for it
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:53:38
Maybe your ISP wants to force you to use their DNS, or something
jnewt 2017-01-26 07:53:47
akik: I have plenty of room everywhere.
akik 2017-01-26 07:53:59
jnewt: you will have a mount line in /etc/fstab for /home if it's a separated partition
deus402 2017-01-26 07:54:19

deus402, try setting resolv.conf to "nameserver 8.8.8.8" ?
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:55:42
(as a temporary test)
jnewt 2017-01-26 07:55:55
so what, i create a folder on / (ie temp_home), then copy everything from /home/ to /temp/home/ and then remove the fstab line, reboot and then create a new /home and copy everything back?
akik 2017-01-26 07:56:37
jnewt: sounds like a plan, you just need to "mv /temp_home /home" after the fstab mangling
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:56:50
You could unmount /home, and remount the partition somewhere else
akik 2017-01-26 07:56:50
jnewt: /home will be an empty directory then
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:57:00
then copy the files
deus402 2017-01-26 07:57:01
Retr0id: dig also fails with my isp's nameserver. also, shouldn't dig @8.8.8.8 work even if resolv.conf was totally boned?
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:57:09
It should
akik 2017-01-26 07:57:10
jnewt: i meant "mv /temp_home/* /home"
akik 2017-01-26 07:57:39
Retr0id: you can't unmount /home if it's in use, which it normally is
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:58:19
not if you log in as root, surely?
Retr0id 2017-01-26 07:58:27
and you need to be root anyway

I have a virtualbox with ubuntu server 14.04 in text mode. I have installed guest additions but I just can't figure it out how to change the resolution
star_prone 2017-01-26 08:34:12
does anyone have any suggestions?
lucas-arg 2017-01-26 08:35:16
star_prone, if im no mistaken you have to mount the iso and install drvier in virtual machine
lucas-arg 2017-01-26 08:35:33
its been a while since ive used a virtual machine so... i might be wrong

pavlos 2017-01-26 08:43:31
star_prone, you may have to modify /etc/default/grub (see GRUB_GFXMODE) to define the resolution. I have not been successful with ubuntu server to change resolution, on desktop installs it works fine.
