Aurorasaura: details matter. "i tried to repair a car and its broken"
azizLIGHT 2017-02-27 11:45:49
this is in reference to failed HWE upgrade: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24075210/
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 11:48:49
WOW! This is awesome.
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 11:49:10
Okay, how do I symlink to my google-drive folder elsewhere so that I can use it as a place to put save games for a network game?
k1l 2017-02-27 11:52:45
Aurorasaura: i suggest using zffs with a raidz1 or raidz2 (depends on the amount of hdds). ubuntu got native zfs support for data partitions now

Aurorasaura 2017-02-27 11:53:41
thank you k1l
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 11:55:17
gnome-online-accounts doesn't seem to have Dropbox as an option as it stands. Is there a fix for that?
k1l 2017-02-27 11:57:01
dropbox doesnt work witht hat
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 11:57:06
Aw.
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 11:57:11
Well, Google should do, I guess.
crendel 2017-02-27 11:57:23
FoeHammered: it doesn't work with gvfs, but some FMs have dropbox addons
crendel 2017-02-27 11:57:30
FoeHammered: i know thunar does... not sure about pcmanfm
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 11:57:59
Hrm. So I should consider looking up whether PCManFM has a Dropbox addon.
binary01 2017-02-27 11:58:21
hi all, i am interested in upgrading to a new computer. Will it work to transfer my physical SSD to my new computer without reinstalling Ubuntu?
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 11:58:42
Well, Thunar's was easy to find, that's for sure.
nacc 2017-02-27 12:00:20
azizLIGHT: i would first get to a fully clean apt and then add the hwe
Xyphoid77 2017-02-27 12:01:00
Does anybody know how to change the font color of the window borders? I am using Compiz with the gtk-window-decorator. I tried changing color in Appearance, dconf-editor, gtk-color-chooser and gnome-tweak-tool, but non of them can change the window title font color
Xyphoid77 2017-02-27 12:01:01
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:02:13
Weird. I'm getting very inconsistent notions of whether mimeopen is installed. I'm'a restart.
azizLIGHT 2017-02-27 12:02:29
nacc: and how do i do get a full clean apt
nacc 2017-02-27 12:03:24
azizLIGHT: as you are doing now `apt-get -f install` etc
azizLIGHT 2017-02-27 12:06:19
nacc: this is what it says for that command. should i press Y http://paste.ubuntu.com/24080870/
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:06:55
Okay, at least now it's being consistent in not finding mimeinfo at all.
nacc 2017-02-27 12:07:03
azizLIGHT: yes, i think so
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:10:02
Son of a submariner, I have no gorram reading comprehension. Problem solved.
crendel 2017-02-27 12:10:08
haha
crendel 2017-02-27 12:10:10
happens :)
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:11:11
Step 4: Open Dropbox from the system tray. It should now open in PCManFM. ... From what?
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:11:36
How do I do that?
k1l 2017-02-27 12:11:51
click on the icon in the panel?
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:12:04
I don't see one.
azizLIGHT 2017-02-27 12:15:00
nacc: hows this look now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24081112/
nacc 2017-02-27 12:15:50
azizLIGHT: and if you run -f instll again, it says nothing to do?
nacc 2017-02-27 12:16:24
azizLIGHT: you at this point must either run the most current nvidia driver (update to the latest using the PPA explicitly), or remove it altogether (ppa-purge)
azizLIGHT 2017-02-27 12:16:24
nacc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24081127/
azizLIGHT 2017-02-27 12:16:38
i can do latest i suppose
azizLIGHT 2017-02-27 12:17:03
i wanna keep 358 around in case something goes wrong though
azizLIGHT 2017-02-27 12:17:28
will i still be able to downgrade to nvidia-358 if something goes wrong?
nacc 2017-02-27 12:17:37
azizLIGHT: I don't think you can realistically maintain binary out of tree drivers (actually do they use dkms, I have no idea) and the hwe kernel, but i have no idea
nacc 2017-02-27 12:17:53
azizLIGHT: you may want to ask someone more familiar with nvidia here before proceeding too much further
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:18:04
Hrm. How do I interact with google-drive from the command line?
azizLIGHT 2017-02-27 12:18:06
nacc: so id have to use noveau and 4.4?
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:18:16
Since I can't seem to figure out how to make a symlink.
crendel 2017-02-27 12:18:17
FoeHammered: did you get the dropbox icon working?
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:18:21
Nope.
crendel 2017-02-27 12:18:37
you might need to run it manually first from cli
crendel 2017-02-27 12:18:42
`dropbox &'
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:18:44
Oh.
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:19:02
Annoyingly, it's suggesting nautilus-dropbox
crendel 2017-02-27 12:19:03
you'll need to add it to your startp applications (should have an option in preferences to do it automatically)
nacc 2017-02-27 12:19:09
azizLIGHT: i genuinely don't know -- i would suggest that using nouveau (which is in the 4.4 kernel aiui) and getting the hwe booted kernel first, is more relevant than a binary driver; but i have no idea what your use case is
crendel 2017-02-27 12:19:23
hmm... if it didn't install dropbox as a dependency, you might need to install the dropbox package as well?
crendel 2017-02-27 12:20:07
as far as google drive from command line, you could use the `drive` package, but i don't think that will play well with gvfs-google if you get it working
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:20:08
Tempting to switch to Thunar just for this.
azizLIGHT 2017-02-27 12:20:18
nacc: lets say i go to latest nvidia driver, then i run the hwe command?
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:20:22
I seem to have gvfs-google working, yeah.
azizLIGHT 2017-02-27 12:20:24
whats the next step
nacc 2017-02-27 12:20:40
azizLIGHT: what do you mean? those are two steps
crendel 2017-02-27 12:21:22
FoeHammered: give thunar a go! it's nice and similarly lightweight
azizLIGHT 2017-02-27 12:21:29
i meant what are the steps. 1) go nvidia latest or ppa-purge and use nouveau 2) do hwe upgrade command. is that right?
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:21:39
Is there anything I should know about how to go about that?
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:21:53
'Cause PCManFM might be a little too light for my tastes. I've struggled a bit with it.
crendel 2017-02-27 12:22:29
FoeHammered: i think you can just grab it off synaptic and make it your default
crendel 2017-02-27 12:22:48
FoeHammered: pretty straightforward. it also uses gvfs, so you should be able to use what you've done for drive already
crendel 2017-02-27 12:22:56
FoeHammered: then I think there's a thunar-dropbox package out there
nacc 2017-02-27 12:23:12
azizLIGHT: again, I am not an expert, i've not done it, but it does feel like you need to decide on 1) and do it, then do 2)
azizLIGHT 2017-02-27 12:23:26
hmmm okay
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:24:25
There is, in fact, a thunar-dropbox package.
crendel 2017-02-27 12:24:40
FoeHammered: whoo!
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:24:59
Yeah, it's one of the reasons I was quick to say "maaaaaybe Thunar is the ticket."
crendel 2017-02-27 12:25:26
well, "FoeHammered", "hammer", mjölnir, Thor, "Thunar"
crendel 2017-02-27 12:25:31
seems like a natural connection :)
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:25:55
That said, FoeHammer is Glamdring, which is Tolkien, which is different.
crendel 2017-02-27 12:26:07
hot damn
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:26:25
Yeah, I use Glamdring primarily from my phone.
crendel 2017-02-27 12:26:26
get out of this channel and into my life
FoeHammered 2017-02-27 12:26:59
o/~ and into my car o/~
crendel 2017-02-27 12:27:16
haha

hi does ubuntu one still exist
Aurorasaura 2017-02-27 12:34:19
can multiple drives have the same mount point?
Zambzz 2017-02-27 12:35:57
anyone help me please, tried switching to unity8 in 16.10 but now im stuck in a black screen, tried using startx but shows me no interface options, tried restarting lightdm but nothing, what doni need to type to revert bk to unity 7?
Epx998 2017-02-27 12:37:11
hmm what the heck -> ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
Epx998 2017-02-27 12:37:12
dont understand why this is happening all of a sudden on new installs
crendel 2017-02-27 12:37:43
Epx998: did you do ssh -vvv?
crendel 2017-02-27 12:38:13
Zambzz: does the blank screen happen before or after logging in with lighdm?
Zambzz 2017-02-27 12:38:53
i have no login screen but then i think i put it to log me in automaticly
uRock 2017-02-27 12:39:07
Installing ubuntu server and at the screen to select services, am I correct in thinking "virtual machine host" means being set for VMs to run within it?
Epx998 2017-02-27 12:39:29
crendel: yeah -> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/d5bacbe23a0fb9e71ef1733c1e68f8ac
crendel 2017-02-27 12:40:38
Zambzz: what's in ~/.dmrc?
compdoc 2017-02-27 12:41:13
uRock, yeah, using kvm
compdoc 2017-02-27 12:41:32
qemu-kvm
uRock 2017-02-27 12:42:13
compdoc, thanks
compdoc 2017-02-27 12:42:17
and virsh
nacc 2017-02-27 12:42:23
Epx998: did you look at the -vvv output as suggested earlier?
Epx998 2017-02-27 12:43:03
naac: I did, if there is an obvious error in the gist i pasted, I am not seeing it. never had this happen before.
nacc 2017-02-27 12:43:28
Epx998: sorry, didn't see the gist earlier?
Zambzz 2017-02-27 12:43:33
crendel, it says Session=unity8
Epx998 2017-02-27 12:43:49
nacc: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/d5bacbe23a0fb9e71ef1733c1e68f8ac
nacc 2017-02-27 12:43:56
Epx998: i take it you're on a raspbian?
Epx998 2017-02-27 12:44:07
maybe some firewall is happening
crendel 2017-02-27 12:44:21
Zambzz: hm, if unity7 is still installed, try replacing it with unity7
crendel 2017-02-27 12:44:59
Zambzz: if i were you I'd try to figure out why unity8 is hanging though. try checking the lightdm logs and ~/.xsession-errors
