CombuderBob: why not just chmod 750 /mnt/Files
mcrt 2017-02-24 22:03:36
mahakal: probably will not cause too much trouble
mcrt 2017-02-24 22:04:47
mahakal: might cause some performance issues though. if possible re-create the partition with something else than fdisk

Hey can I ask a question regarding building android apps in ubuntu??
garybot 2017-02-24 22:06:44
I want to know how to build the apk after making changes.. i'm using android-sdk..
mcrt 2017-02-24 22:07:01
mahakal: (the partion should start at sector 2048 instead of 63)
mcrt 2017-02-24 22:07:03
partition*
Apachez 2017-02-24 22:07:48
so Im the only one with a libreoffice who doesnt want to open nor save files on network shares? :S
mcrt 2017-02-24 22:08:37
Apachez: how come?
Apachez 2017-02-24 22:08:48
mcrt: ?
Apachez 2017-02-24 22:08:59
gedit can open the file (and save)
Apachez 2017-02-24 22:09:09
but libre just whines about "file not found" but its obviously there
mcrt 2017-02-24 22:09:53
ah. no clue, sorry... maybe somebody else can help.
mahakal 2017-02-24 22:10:49

mahakal 2017-02-24 22:11:38
Though i updated grub 2 day ago which was granted permission to /dev/sda as the official askubuntu.com has advised
Serdar 2017-02-24 22:15:12
hi all
Serdar 2017-02-24 22:15:33
I have an SSD here which suddenlz shows just 8M instead of 256G
Serdar 2017-02-24 22:15:51
also fdisk sazs 8M
mahakal 2017-02-24 22:15:56
mcrt: while experimenting with gparted..i make partition on my usb with ext4 as file system.Now when i tried to use that usb on Guest mode it says pemission denied
garybot 2017-02-24 22:15:57
@isky i think you got to change to legacy mode
isky897 2017-02-24 22:16:01
chkdsk?
elias_a 2017-02-24 22:16:12
Is it possible to change the default save location of print to file in 16.04?
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:16:18
isky897: what's the output of this command? sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999
Serdar 2017-02-24 22:16:34
there is no such a tool like chkdsk
isky897 2017-02-24 22:16:44
@alkisg I dont have aterminal in installation mode
garybot 2017-02-24 22:16:59
chkdsk is a windows tool
isky897 2017-02-24 22:17:08
@garybot I tried to do that on bios and it seems ok
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:17:12
isky897: press alt+ctrl+f1 to switch to text mode, then run the command, then alt+ctrl+f7 to swtich back to graphiccs mode
elias_a 2017-02-24 22:17:21
Print to (pdf) file does not seem to remember the last folder the file was saved into.
isky897 2017-02-24 22:17:36
garybot I know, but not sure which fs he has, e2fschk I think is the think.
Serdar 2017-02-24 22:17:37
should I use wine or what_
isky897 2017-02-24 22:17:44
thing
isky897 2017-02-24 22:18:03
not, use a tool for linux sure, but check the disk
mahakal 2017-02-24 22:25:00
alkisg: but isnt there any way to give 777 permission to the usb stick itself
mahakal 2017-02-24 22:25:23
because i need to use it on my college computers a lot
thibaultmol 2017-02-24 22:25:36
There is a problem with the drivers for the gtx 10 series GPU's from nvidia which makes it so that install ubuntu is a pain in the *ss for new users. When are they planning on fixing that in the kernel?

alkisg 2017-02-24 22:26:00
mahakal: you can put it to /etc/fstab, or you can specify udev rules for it. The default mounts options for usb sticks are not changed with chmod or chown.
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:26:18
mahakal: then use vfat or ntfs, not ext4
mahakal 2017-02-24 22:27:10
alkisg: before i changed it ..it was using fat32 file system
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:27:31
Format it back to fat32 then, it appears that's what suits you better
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:27:58
Serdar: if `parted -l` and `fdisk` show 8 mb *disk*, then no file system check will do you any good
tatertots 2017-02-24 22:28:42
thibaultmol: you are chatting from a computer with a gtx 10xx in it right now?
thibaultmol 2017-02-24 22:28:59
tatertots: I'm on my windows 10 install right now
mahakal 2017-02-24 22:29:15
alkisg: ok ,actually i am learning grub and what i want to learn is "Making a multiboot usb",will you suggest any resources to learn this..the internet has information but in very scattered way
thibaultmol 2017-02-24 22:29:30
it's an easy fix, but for people who are new to ubuntu and want to try it out, they're going to give up easily if they can't even get passed the installer
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:31:26
mahakal: use some of the existing tools like rufus or easy2boot etc, those will tell you to use fat or ntfs32
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:32:11
mahakal: yes, i have one with 10 distros live cds and windows and a linux installation
MonkeyDust 2017-02-24 22:32:40
mahakal https://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
mahakal 2017-02-24 22:33:47
MonkeyDust: very thanks
mahakal 2017-02-24 22:34:38
alkisg: i have formatted the pd to fat32 using gparted but which flag to set now ?
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:35:08
mahakal: I'm not going to write a how-to in irc... use one of the tools, they'll format the stick for you
mahakal 2017-02-24 22:36:31
alkisg: i know that thats why i asked about blog ..LOL
mahakal 2017-02-24 22:37:06
alkisg: which flag to set or unset all ?
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:37:19
No, I haven't written a blog about how to make a multiboot stick
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:37:40
mahakal: don't format it, use a tool
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:38:07
They will ask you things like "what os do you want?" and set the proper flags for it
isky897 2017-02-24 22:39:26
alkisg: my partition table is ok, I put everything there, I have some experience with linux, not with ufi and secure boot
mahakal 2017-02-24 22:39:26
alkisg: currently i want to use usb for general stuff like movies,text.pics etc
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:39:26
mahakal: then no flags are needed
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:39:26
isky897: from your partitions we'll be able to see if your system is using uefi or not
ducasse 2017-02-24 22:40:11
isky897: what does 'ls /sys/firmware/efi' say?
isky897 2017-02-24 22:40:24
the installation requested a EFI partition table at some point, so I am creating one every attempt, but else what would point to UFI?
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:40:53
ducasse: he's booted in uefi mode from the live cd, but the question is if his hard disk was using uefi or not
ducasse 2017-02-24 22:41:14
alkisg: ok
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:41:27
isky897: does the disk have any data in it, or not?
isky897 2017-02-24 22:41:53
or brand new
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:41:55
If not, you can just reformat it in gpt mode, and be done with it
isky897 2017-02-24 22:41:55
no
isky897 2017-02-24 22:42:04
gpt mode?
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:42:41
It's the partition table for uefi systems
isky897 2017-02-24 22:42:41
i boot from usb, in legacy mode apparently
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:43:13
And that your disk was in legacy mode?
mahakal 2017-02-24 22:43:52
alkisg: is there any book on linux booting that touch every details,dangers,best practice for linux booting stuff
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:44:27
mahakal: I don't know
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:44:39
isky897: you reported this message: "This machines's firmware has started this installer in UEFI mode but it looks like there maybe existing operating systems already installed using BIOS compatibility mode, If you continue to install Debian in UEFI mode,it might be difficult to reboot into any BIOS-mode operating system."
alkisg 2017-02-24 22:44:55
That sounds like you booted in uefi mode and your disk is mbr
