xXEoflaOEXx: it takes the iso image you provide to rufus and writes it onto the usb stick
lucas-arg 2017-01-29 03:46:16
after removing nvidia driver i have tearing with intel gpu no idea whats going wrong?
xXEoflaOEXx 2017-01-29 03:46:20
akik, OK.
akik 2017-01-29 03:47:10
xXEoflaOEXx: you mentioned syslinux so this dd mode doesn't care about what is inside of the iso image
kk4ewt 2017-01-29 03:47:37
xXEoflaOEXx, think dd as direct copy
akik 2017-01-29 03:48:12
lucas-arg: two places which could help with that, /etc/drirc and creating a xorg config snippet in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
xXEoflaOEXx 2017-01-29 03:49:24
akik, Yes, I mentioned SYSLINUX. I notice one thing that if I put Lubuntu 16.10 ISO and click on Start, it asks me for new SYSLINUX version that I must download it from their website. and does DD mode in Rufus makes the USB bootable in order to install Lubuntu?
Dave114 2017-01-29 03:49:34
identify cheese
akik 2017-01-29 03:49:48
xXEoflaOEXx: yes it makes it bootable
xXEoflaOEXx 2017-01-29 03:50:21
akik, OK. Thanks for your help!
akik 2017-01-29 03:51:12
lucas-arg: the settings are described here under "Tear-free video" https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/intel_graphics
lucas-arg 2017-01-29 03:51:52
akik, thanks, i used snapper to create a snapshot of my btrfs just in case i had any problem with installing nvidia driver, and it didnt work either so.........!!!...!
xXEoflaOEXx 2017-01-29 03:54:07
akik, but I have one more question, Is DD mode slower than normal mode in Rufus?
akik 2017-01-29 03:54:20
xXEoflaOEXx: no
xXEoflaOEXx 2017-01-29 03:54:35
akik, OK. Thanks!
lucas-arg 2017-01-29 03:56:53
akik, that didnt help, so... chau ubuntu

How much space vbr and mbr occupies?
kang0 2017-01-29 04:06:22
Is it part of hard disk?

kang0 2017-01-29 04:08:08
Hard disk or cd or usb or dvd?
akik 2017-01-29 04:08:39

akik 2017-01-29 04:08:41
dvd
kang0 2017-01-29 04:08:50
How many bootloaders can reside at mbr?

Hi all, I cannot get snap to work on Ubuntu 16.10. I get the error: - Setup snap "core" (888) security profiles (no state entry for key)
stephans_ 2017-01-29 04:11:28
I have no idea why..
stephans_ 2017-01-29 04:11:36
I followed the instruction
stephans_ 2017-01-29 04:11:44
just apt install snapd
stephans_ 2017-01-29 04:11:55
nothing wierd on my sys.
stephans_ 2017-01-29 04:13:51
Anyone have any idea how to make snap actually work?

Hi folks, I'm playing around a bit with LXD/LXC on Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 LTS, and after creating a container I noticed my config file is located here: /var/log/lxd/cute-leopard/lxc.conf
B1nny 2017-01-29 04:17:31
would anyone mind explaining to me why it's located in /var/log? :)
masos 2017-01-29 04:18:39
well, I think it depends on the slightest wish of the LXD/LXC devs
B1nny 2017-01-29 04:19:13
masos: but, wouldn't /var/lib/lxd/containers//lxc.conf or something make more sense?
B1nny 2017-01-29 04:19:21
I'd only expect log files in /var/log tbh
masos 2017-01-29 04:19:45
ask the LXD/LXC devs
masos 2017-01-29 04:20:09
maybe it's configurable, then change it to anything you desire
B1nny 2017-01-29 04:20:39
ok :) thanks!
masos 2017-01-29 04:20:42
I mean, configurable path to the config (sounds quite recursively)
masos 2017-01-29 04:21:12
Is it possible to resize partition with /boot directory to the left without breaking the boot?
masos 2017-01-29 04:21:26
I have just run into a problem, I only have empty space to the left of my partition, and it:
masos 2017-01-29 04:21:29
1. Doesn't allow my to resize to the left on-line without rebooting to LiveUSB
masos 2017-01-29 04:21:31
2. Warns that it may break boot when trying to resize from LiveUSB

lakein 2017-01-29 04:22:59
doesn't*
Tahr-Poop 2017-01-29 04:23:11
masos, use boot-repair to fix boot after resizing
lakein 2017-01-29 04:23:16
can someone help?

oh, dig. That's right.

masos 2017-01-29 04:23:58
Tahr-Poop: will it fix it automatically with default settings?
lakein 2017-01-29 04:24:09

lakein 2017-01-29 04:24:51
sed -e isn't working for me
anddam 2017-01-29 04:24:54
lakein: you should suppress patterns for that, also you'd need to print 1-4, 100-end
lakein 2017-01-29 04:25:18
oh
anddam 2017-01-29 04:25:23
-e is just the expression to be executed
Tahr-Poop 2017-01-29 04:26:14
masos, you can define in boot-repair how you want to repair boot
anddam 2017-01-29 04:26:27
lakein: I stand corrected, the delete approach is fine

anddam 2017-01-29 04:29:21
lakein: no
anddam 2017-01-29 04:29:37
lakein: it will get rid of lines 102533 and 127584
lakein 2017-01-29 04:29:38
i don't want to extract the lines to some other file
lakein 2017-01-29 04:29:59
anddam: ah
anddam 2017-01-29 04:30:00
you want to do an in-place sed replace, that isn't recommended (or it used to be)
anddam 2017-01-29 04:30:06
but should be fine
anddam 2017-01-29 04:30:20
that's what the -i flag does
lakein 2017-01-29 04:30:44
how can i get rid of the lines 102533 to 127584?
anddam 2017-01-29 04:30:58
the SO answer you linked works
lakein 2017-01-29 04:31:01
instead of just deleting these two, i want to delete all that which is in between
lakein 2017-01-29 04:31:33
anddam: but that gets rid of only two lines as you now told me, i want to delete lines of a specific range
anddam 2017-01-29 04:31:34

I got a quick question for everyone: I am planning to use UbuntuStudio as my flavor of choice (I do system admin work professionally, so the stuff I add on top of any flavor is pretty standard), but I do music as a hobby. My main concern is that I know not so much about XFCE (what UbuntuStudio uses as a desktop), and I want to be sure that if I use UbuntuStudio (and thus by proxy, XFCE) I am not going to be subject to any of the Unity Search poison nonse
Mr_Owner 2017-01-29 04:33:11
that RMS talks about. Is XFCE some kinda of derivitive of Unity or its completely seperate and has no such issue???
ioria 2017-01-29 04:33:56
Mr_Owner, xfce is ok
Mr_Owner 2017-01-29 04:34:26
thank you! I appreciate greatly the direct and exact answer!

What's gpt and partition boot record
lakein 2017-01-29 04:34:58
ioria: no
lakein 2017-01-29 04:35:06
it doesn't work
ioria 2017-01-29 04:35:18
lakein, weird
lakein 2017-01-29 04:35:32
it merely prints out the lines, not delete them
ioria 2017-01-29 04:35:43
lakein, sure, it's a test
anddam 2017-01-29 04:35:53
kang0: gpt is GPT, a kind of disk partitioning that uses GUID, but any search engine would tell you that
Mr_Owner 2017-01-29 04:35:58
as it works works out ioria, I do not care for the interface of Unity either, but I could live with it, just I want the 'preconfigured-ness' of Studio for jackd and all that, and its easier for me to add openssh and git and stuff to it than the other way (though I use Ubuntu GNOME right now and do like it), I can live with XFCE no problem if it means a preconfigured studio environment

Hi there! I'm using Ubuntu Gnome, and trying to set a keyboard shortcut "Shift + Caps Lock" for switching keyboard layouts - which is what I've used for years in Cinnamon on Linux Mint, but when I try to assign that, nothing happens (the "New accelerator" label doesn't change). My Caps Lock and Shift keys work as expected otherwise. Any ideas?
ioria 2017-01-29 04:36:27
lakein, you need -i to modify the file ... make a copy of that file and try it
kang0 2017-01-29 04:36:35

Mr_Owner, xfce is a separate project, it mainly handles theming and standard desktop stuff being light on resources, everything else should work with any DE. You might be interested in checking out #xfce or #ubuntustudio for future reference
needhelp123 2017-01-29 04:39:08
Ahhh found it - "Modifiers-only switch to next source" - it was kinda confusing what "modifiers-only" means.
noc_ 2017-01-29 04:39:28
e.g. the dev and audio tools are basically independent of the DE

Also I just wanna say that Ubuntu Gnome is the only distribution that works (for me at least) with a 4K laptop display out of the box (I've tried Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Ubuntu Mate and none of them worked nicely). So if anyone finds that info useful, there you go.
