akik 2017-02-23 20:45:32
R13ose: can you access the wallet with kwalletmanager?
elias_a 2017-02-23 20:45:38
alkisg: That sorts it then. I'll have support and everything! :D
elias_a 2017-02-23 20:45:50

alkisg 2017-02-23 20:45:53

jbermudes 2017-02-23 20:46:38
Does anyone know what the package name for the Display Settings widget is called?
anddam 2017-02-23 20:46:38
mm any idea why a fat fs would be auto-mounted read-only?
elias_a 2017-02-23 20:46:46
alkisg: That's even better becaus devs generally are not good at giving end user support. :P
anddam 2017-02-23 20:46:58
I think yesterday I just plugged it and copied files onto
alkisg 2017-02-23 20:47:03
elias_a: don't come to #ltsp again for support! :D
elias_a 2017-02-23 20:47:27
alkisg: Not to say that would be true in your case. :P

Hello I'm quite desperate I accidentaly created an ISO file on an external NTFS hard drive and lost everything on it. Can anybody help?
diego_ 2017-02-23 20:48:18
ISO Image, sorry
alkisg 2017-02-23 20:48:33
diego_: what was the command that you used?
ducasse 2017-02-23 20:48:40
!recovery | diego_
ubottu 2017-02-23 20:48:40
diego_: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode
ducasse 2017-02-23 20:48:46
!recover | diego_
ubottu 2017-02-23 20:48:46
diego_: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
ducasse 2017-02-23 20:49:16
diego_: ^^ look at this latest link

Hi I know you can set your mouse settings so that double click needs to happen faster, or double click can happen slow but can also happen fast, but I was wondering if I could set my mouse so that double click only works if it's slow?
diego_ 2017-02-23 20:49:33
no command i double cliked on an ISO and it said restore
anddam 2017-02-23 20:50:42
can I label a fat volume on MBR?
diego_ 2017-02-23 20:51:20
ducasse: thank you. I'll look into it.
anddam 2017-02-23 20:51:24
answer to self: mlabel
alkisg 2017-02-23 20:51:42
anddam: no labels are stored on mbr, they are stored in the partition space
Frank_Jameso 2017-02-23 20:52:56

I'm on an EFI system and I'd like to install grub to an USB stick with MBR
anddam 2017-02-23 21:16:02
grub-installer complains that
anddam 2017-02-23 21:16:05
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
anddam 2017-02-23 21:16:07
/usr/sbin/grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.
anddam 2017-02-23 21:16:16
and that seems reasonable since I don't have an ESP, nor I want the -efi grub
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 21:16:19
Turns out I typed my whole spiel without once realizing I wasn't connected, so here goes :P
anddam 2017-02-23 21:16:22
do I need grub-pc package?
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 21:17:41
In a nutshell: My PowerPC Mac upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04, which broke lots of stuff. Now I've restored lightdm and xfce, but can't open 99% of my apps, except xterm.
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 21:21:55
See if that works first :P
Penguin__ 2017-02-23 21:22:00
I'm using lubuntu
pavlushka 2017-02-23 21:22:03
Penguin__: post the output of "sudo apt install -f" in paste.ubuntu.com
Penguin__ 2017-02-23 21:22:10
Do you support this flavor here?
Penguin__ 2017-02-23 21:22:28
I tried to ask in lubuntu channel but nobody knew how to solve the problem.
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 21:22:32
All the buntus have similar bases. Skills should be transferrable :)
anddam 2017-02-23 21:22:51
OerHeks, alkisg: trying to follow http://freedos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/USB#Linux_2
anddam 2017-02-23 21:23:13
the USB stick I'm preparing on an EFI system but it's for another system, for firmware upgrade
alkisg 2017-02-23 21:23:24
anddam: freedos is a 16bit application, how are you planning to run that in efi mode?!
alkisg 2017-02-23 21:24:24
anddam: this tutorial assumes you have grub legacy 0.97 installed in your ubuntu box
anddam 2017-02-23 21:25:48
alkisg: I'm not even sure what's it assuming
anddam 2017-02-23 21:25:56
but I figure I'd need grub-pc
alkisg 2017-02-23 21:26:06
(10:15:30 πμ) anddam: I'm on an EFI system and I'd like to install grub to an USB stick with MBR ==> you didn't say non-efi there
anddam 2017-02-23 21:26:09
and that would uninstall grub-efi (that I'm using on my system)
anddam 2017-02-23 21:26:23
alkisg: the MBR part hinted it tho'

sorry for other language than english
freakynl 2017-02-23 21:26:59
Hi, just upgrade our 14.04 LTS server to 16.04, but now my iSCSI target no longer starts automatically. The config scripts are still in /etc/target. Can't run them manually though, gives all kinds of file/link creation errors under /sys
Penguin__ 2017-02-23 21:27:10
but I cannot change it now.
anddam 2017-02-23 21:27:22
I'm on a UEFI laptop with ubuntu, I want to create a USB FreeDOS bootbable stick since I want to upgrade firmware on another system, that can do UEFI and BIOS and where I can disable secure boot (if need be, I don't think it's active atm)
Penguin__ 2017-02-23 21:27:46
Are u here Pavlushka?
anddam 2017-02-23 21:27:47
point is I'm not very into the booting mechanics, I roughly understand how it wors but not the detail
squelch 2017-02-23 21:27:53
it used to be possible to use windows bootmenu to boot linux
squelch 2017-02-23 21:28:19
isnt that possible anymore?
mylisto 2017-02-23 21:28:26

anddam 2017-02-23 21:28:38
I found a SO answer suggesting unetbootin, that apart having a terrible UI, wasn't unable to produce a bootable stick, either EFI or BIOS
pavlushka 2017-02-23 21:28:40
Penguin__: I am here with lord-arhemadan :p
anddam 2017-02-23 21:28:43

anddam: i'm pretty sure uefi doesn't matter with freedos and firmware updates. or are you certain you need uefi with that?

squelch: i remember doing something with chainloader once upon a time... but that was over a decade ago.
squelch 2017-02-23 21:30:01
wedgie: should work fine you know MS is linux friendlly now
anddam 2017-02-23 21:30:20
akik: I'm almost sure I don't, I'm trying hard to be clear about the fact that I don't want to install EFI on the USB
anddam 2017-02-23 21:31:57
but I cannot have grub-pc package since it conflicts with grub-efi
anddam 2017-02-23 21:34:45
I figure I _could_ install grub-pc, do the setup and then reinstal grub-efi packages
anddam 2017-02-23 21:34:45
does grub-pc try to install itself on package configuration?
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 21:34:45

anddam 2017-02-23 21:35:11
can someone confirm installing grub-pc and removing the conflicting grub-efi packages won't affect the current grub setup in ESP?
R13ose 2017-02-23 21:39:37
akik: maybe that is the problem. How do I change this?
akik 2017-02-23 21:40:58
R13ose: askubuntu answer says to delete $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kwallet/kdewallet.kwl. that'll delete the kwallet and all its passwords

R13ose: http://askubuntu.com/a/22176
squelch 2017-02-23 21:42:01
can you use kwallet with bitcoins?
akik 2017-02-23 21:43:19
R13ose: lower on the page somebody mentions that solution no longer works since 15.10 http://askubuntu.com/a/762114
squelch 2017-02-23 21:43:53
kwallet is encrypted?~~
R13ose 2017-02-23 21:43:59
akik: right, not working
akik 2017-02-23 21:44:36
R13ose: try following that second url's instructions
