Quick question. if you add a hard drive to lvm from windows with data on it will the data be lost?

is it possible to use ubuntu netboot to PXEboot with the desktop installer rather than the server installer?

æWeird thing. Just reinstalled a laptop running debi. Now xubuntu. I can log into my raspberry pi via ssh and use norwegian characters as before. The only issue is that in irssi the æøå does not wor.
shazzr 2017-02-28 08:03:00
or...it appears not to work. I see them in the above statment, but not while I am typing....'æøå...

question; when the caps lock key flashes on my t420 laptop running 16.04; that means kernel panic? nothing can be done to recover? this seems to happen after every other resume from suspend. i have 8gb of ram and 9 gb of swap so not sure why its not working... :(

hi
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:19:03
So I tried to use user "admin" in Ubuntu setup - but it is denied as a reserved username.
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:19:18
I can create an user admin later though - and there are no negative effects...
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:19:23
so this is more a relict/purist thing?
Pici 2017-02-28 08:20:25
ubuntly: its likely because there is already an admin group, and it doesn't want you to mess with that.
scottjl 2017-02-28 08:20:28
because there already is an "admin" account
Pici 2017-02-28 08:20:54
Users in the admin group are the ones who are allowed to use the sudo command.
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:20:57
right
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:21:01
and exactly that I want
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:21:05
well, I will pick a different user name then
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:21:20
what is a good username for the "normal" user in Ubuntu setup - except admin of course?
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:21:26
"notroot"? :D
scottjl 2017-02-28 08:21:26
their name
Pici 2017-02-28 08:21:31
ubuntly: Your first user already gets put into the admin group.
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:21:33
I want it more generic
scottjl 2017-02-28 08:21:37
user ?
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:21:41
hmm, user, why not
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:21:46
but that user is in admin group
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:21:48
so it is an important user
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:21:53
sudouser?
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:21:55
superuser?
Pici 2017-02-28 08:22:00
its up to you.
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:22:01
suser?
elias_a 2017-02-28 08:22:29
ubuntly: Use "dickhead" or "totalmess". Nobody wants to use those accounts without real need. :P
scottjl 2017-02-28 08:22:34
useraccount, someuser, generic
scottjl 2017-02-28 08:22:57
though if this is a multi-user system, you really ought to use real names
w9qbj 2017-02-28 08:23:08
pick a name not close the the namespace for administratiors of any app. make to be less confusing
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:24:02
elias_a: right,I will use admin as sudo user - later then when the server is provisioned after setup.
BluesKaj 2017-02-28 08:24:10
oh lord, just use a derivative of your own name
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:24:11
ok
unstablevet 2017-02-28 08:24:19
can anyone help an ubuntu studio with a hp pavilion dv6000 access the webcam
w9qbj 2017-02-28 08:24:54
there is already many *admin* users, groups, directories( folders) and processes.
w9qbj 2017-02-28 08:25:11
why make life dificult
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:25:37
OK, so summarize this: The Normal user account created by Ubuntu Setup is also able to sudo by default, is that right?
scottjl 2017-02-28 08:26:18
yes
k1l 2017-02-28 08:26:28
ubuntly: yes.
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:26:44
thanks.
k1l 2017-02-28 08:26:44
ubuntly: and every new user beeing put in the sudo group can use sudo too.
scottjl 2017-02-28 08:26:45
the normal user account created by setup is given admin priviledges because you have to start out with someone being admin.
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:26:49
right
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:27:00
I could even delete that user after the setup and add my own crazy user stuff?
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:27:04
good
scottjl 2017-02-28 08:27:12
because ubuntu locks direct root login by default
Ben64 2017-02-28 08:27:28
ubuntly: but why
scottjl 2017-02-28 08:27:30
if you delete that use without setting up another account with admin you will basically lock yourself out of admin
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:27:45
Ben64: because the server will be provisioned automatically, admin, users are added with keys, etc
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:27:53
I just want the setup to be over :)
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:28:34
I will call it "suser" now :O
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:28:35
hurra
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:35:30
btw, the ubuntu setup is quite nice :D

wtf lol
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:43:42
I found it somehow funny XD
baizon 2017-02-28 08:43:53
no, it was just stupid
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:44:06
OK, it is intended that the Ubuntu setup doesn't ask me for a root password - because I should use that user to sudo/su to root, right?
k1l 2017-02-28 08:44:17
ubuntly: yes
k1l 2017-02-28 08:44:22
!root | ubuntly
ubottu 2017-02-28 08:44:23
ubuntly: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:44:34
ah, much better
ubuntly 2017-02-28 08:44:53
the first I always did (in older debians) was to get rid of root for a sudo user :) then it makes sense
