anddam: the first solution is the easier one
anddam 2017-02-23 23:47:58
the graphical installer asks me if partition should be primary or extended
anddam 2017-02-23 23:48:03
does that even make sense in GPT?
akik 2017-02-23 23:48:50
anddam: no
akik 2017-02-23 23:49:12
anddam: i think you didn't boot in uefi mode
anddam 2017-02-23 23:58:01
akik: no
anddam 2017-02-23 23:58:13
unless it's the MBR compatibility gdisk adds in GPT
akik 2017-02-23 23:58:42
anddam: sorry, i don't know
anddam 2017-02-23 23:58:52
but is the graphicalinstaller so smart that the manual partition dialog would change each partition specific options according if the booting system is MBR or GPT?
akik 2017-02-23 23:59:05
but in gpt there's no primary/extended/logical partitions
anddam 2017-02-23 23:59:06
actually that's not even a tihng because what matters is the target disk, not the boot
anddam 2017-02-23 23:59:12
akik: that's my point actually
akik 2017-02-24 00:07:21
Guest8: or another solution is to create another partition that you can add to your existing volume group as a new physical volume. it might be safer :)
Guest8 2017-02-24 00:07:36
all space is already partitioned and used
Guest8 2017-02-24 00:07:48
it's just lvm that doesn't understand
akik 2017-02-24 00:08:47
Guest8: is your root partition in the lvm?
Guest8 2017-02-24 00:09:07
yes, it seems so
akik 2017-02-24 00:09:43
Guest8: the lvm sets the size limits for your logical partitions
Guest8 2017-02-24 00:10:05
My /dev/sda3 is 1 TB (Linux LVM), it used to be 500 GB. LVM still thinks the /dev/mapper/stage--vg-root is 500 GB (which is mapped to sda3 as far as I understood)
akik 2017-02-24 00:10:49
Guest8: how did you resize the linux lvm partition?
Guest8 2017-02-24 00:11:07
recreated the partition using parted
Guest8 2017-02-24 00:12:52
I just needed to move the end of the partition to the end of the volume (but keep the start where it used to be)
akik 2017-02-24 00:13:11
Guest8: there is a command called pvresize which changes the lvm physical volume
Guest8 2017-02-24 00:13:41
so in recreating the partition I effectively moved the end of the partition, and it worked out just fine
Guest8 2017-02-24 00:13:58
yes, pvresize thinks I have 500 GB of space rather than 1 TB
Guest8 2017-02-24 00:14:13
so I can't resize the partition to 1 TB there, says there is not enough space
akik 2017-02-24 00:14:22
Guest8: maybe you can follow this guide (pvresize, lvresize, resize2fs) http://ryandoyle.net/posts/expanding-a-lvm-partition-to-fill-remaining-drive-space/
akik 2017-02-24 00:14:41
just make backups first
Guest8 2017-02-24 00:15:23
ah no, you are right
Guest8 2017-02-24 00:15:35
pvresize then lvresize seems to do the trick, thanks

Hey everybody - I got a problem with Luks: Cryptography Setup fails to start after 3 failed password attempts. Though I'm sure I type in the correct password every time. System log also tells me that before I get to password entry "uinput" module can't be loaded. Starting Load Kernel Modules fails shortly after.
anddam 2017-02-24 00:30:22
is a root password set by default on a fresh 16.04 install?
anddam 2017-02-24 00:30:26
Desktop
anddam 2017-02-24 00:30:33
the installer only asked for user password
pressure679 2017-02-24 00:31:07
No, root password is set by the terminal command 'su passwd'
akik 2017-02-24 00:31:12
anddam: the root password is locked by default
faLUCE 2017-02-24 00:31:55
Hello. I installed 16.10. In the grub menu, I see that I can choose 4.8.0-22 or 4.8.0-39 kernel. The latter one is the default one and it causes weird kernel panic if I use a "Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS" USB dongle. So: do you have any idea about that? Why there are two kernels?
akik 2017-02-24 00:32:00
pressure679: it's "sudo passwd" which changes it
pressure679 2017-02-24 00:32:06
-or 'su passwd root' iirc
brunch875 2017-02-24 00:33:24
is there an 'already installed music player' in ubuntu?
brunch875 2017-02-24 00:33:34
forgot to mention -> terminal based
alkisg 2017-02-24 00:33:39
anddam: the recommendation is NOT to set a root password, but use "sudo" instead when you want root
alkisg 2017-02-24 00:33:58
It's considered safer, and it is why Ubuntu defaults to that

i added new path variable on my .bash_profile, but everytime i restarted the machine, i gotta source the file again, in other words reloading the file. how can i make it permanently available in my $PATH?
craptalk 2017-02-24 00:34:22
should i not configure it on ~/.bash_profile?
pressure679 2017-02-24 00:35:13
iirc there is the /etc/env file that makes env vars for qll users on the mqchine
DexterF 2017-02-24 00:36:04
hi
DexterF 2017-02-24 00:36:33
where can I get adb 1.0.36 for 16.04lts?
pressure679 2017-02-24 00:36:34
Try 'ls /etc | grep env' or 'ls /etc/* | grep env' to be sure
alkisg 2017-02-24 00:36:40
craptalk: put it in .bashrc, see http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/51036/what-is-the-difference-between-bash-profile-and-bashrc for details
anddam 2017-02-24 00:37:09
alkisg: ok, but the question was different
DexterF 2017-02-24 00:37:53
nvm, latest sdk seems a good approach
anddam 2017-02-24 00:37:57
alkisg: I see root is root:!: in /etc/shadow
alkisg 2017-02-24 00:37:58
anddam: it's not set by default and thus the installer doesn't ask it, are you teaching grammar or something?
anddam 2017-02-24 00:38:05
alkisg: what?
alkisg 2017-02-24 00:38:15
Anyways
craptalk 2017-02-24 00:39:15
alkisg, nice explanation, thank you for the hel
craptalk 2017-02-24 00:39:18
help*
alkisg 2017-02-24 00:39:21
craptalk: np
craptalk 2017-02-24 00:39:24
i guess i put it wrong
akik 2017-02-24 00:39:32
anddam: the ubuntu way is not to use the root account directly, but to use sudo
anddam 2017-02-24 00:39:50
akik: that's clear and that's what I've been doing for years
akik 2017-02-24 00:40:03
anddam: but it's your computer, and if you want to change the root password you can do it with "sudo passwd"
anddam 2017-02-24 00:40:26
I was just curious about what root account status was after a fresh login
anddam 2017-02-24 00:40:45
since I just happen to have installed a syste
