"groups: cannot find name for group ID 1000"
farchanjo 2017-03-04 13:46:30
I think is just missing the group name for this id
farchanjo 2017-03-04 13:46:31
i hope..
mikubuntu 2017-03-04 13:46:46

k1l 2017-03-04 13:47:34
farchanjo: that group doesnt run away on its own :)
KalEl 2017-03-04 13:48:08
I booted from the livecd, do you know how I can
KalEl 2017-03-04 13:48:11
boot
KalEl 2017-03-04 13:48:54
or mount my original drive?
farchanjo 2017-03-04 13:49:19
you have to mount your original drive, then repair you group file

mikubuntu : try and advise :: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter
farchanjo 2017-03-04 13:49:40
try to add your old group there as 1000 id then save and reboot without livecd
mikubuntu 2017-03-04 13:51:12
Bashing-om: so i'm not having the black screen problem -- my friend can't get his printer HP PSC1610 All-in-One to work on his dell 1525 laptop
Bashing-om 2017-03-04 13:52:04
mikubuntu: Oh A printer issue . Sorry , nope I can not advise in that .

mikubuntu 2017-03-04 13:52:54
we tried looking for "additional drivers" with the printer plugged in, turned on and connected, but no luck
mikubuntu 2017-03-04 13:53:43
of course we also went thru the normal printer setup routine, but it did not work
KalEl 2017-03-04 13:57:27
I think I have located my HDD from the live cd's /media
KalEl 2017-03-04 13:57:38
Is there any way I can check the groups?
mikubuntu 2017-03-04 13:59:27
ok -- farchanjo i think that hplip is probably what we need, i'm remembering 3 years ago installing it, but don't know the best install method now? is there a .deb package available? is it available in the software center?
farchanjo 2017-03-04 13:59:41
i dont know..

i've just installed ubuntu on an old windows 7 laptop, and it works except that every time I boot it up, the mouse buttons and keyboard stop working after a couple minutes.
rich_ 2017-03-04 14:03:39
I've tried a couple a different mouses and the behaviour is the same.
texla 2017-03-04 14:08:18
I have install grub-pc on Ubuntu-16.04.1 to have Ubuntu boot first from menu..Now I have lines scrolling between boot and login. How do I correct this problem.
KalEl 2017-03-04 14:15:16
cat etc/group prints garbage
mikubuntu 2017-03-04 14:17:53

reisio 2017-03-04 14:18:14
KalEl: garbage?

KalEl:
farchanjo 2017-03-04 14:18:31
have u mounted your fs?
KalEl 2017-03-04 14:18:34
It was illegible... I think the file is corrupted
KalEl 2017-03-04 14:18:35
Yes
farchanjo 2017-03-04 14:18:38
all right
KalEl 2017-03-04 14:18:46
Sorry I just deleted it
KalEl 2017-03-04 14:18:49
I will reinstall
farchanjo 2017-03-04 14:18:54
did u use chroot command
farchanjo 2017-03-04 14:18:55
wait
farchanjo 2017-03-04 14:19:10
if you don't use chroot you have deleted the livecd group file..
farchanjo 2017-03-04 14:20:11
KalEl:
farchanjo 2017-03-04 14:20:22
/var/backups
KalEl 2017-03-04 14:20:25
Sorry it's already gone
farchanjo 2017-03-04 14:20:33
there are some backups there
KalEl 2017-03-04 14:20:34
Sorry
farchanjo 2017-03-04 14:20:41
right
farchanjo 2017-03-04 14:22:18
KalEl: next time, you can recover your /etc/group from another install.. or recover the backu file.. there are other ways to do that…
farchanjo 2017-03-04 14:22:26
i will back to my cassandra.. haha
KalEl 2017-03-04 14:23:18
Thanks

hi, i have a few basic questoins about ubuntu and linux in general... there are several folders in ubuntu by default, like /var, /opt etc. etc. Do all third-party software gets instlaled in /opt ?
reisio 2017-03-04 14:41:39
dell: that is a de facto convention, yes
dell 2017-03-04 14:41:55
where should i keep my files reisio ?
reisio 2017-03-04 14:42:15
your files that are for what?
dell 2017-03-04 14:42:16
suppose i am developing a project. where should i keep my folders ?
dell 2017-03-04 14:42:27
a node project, or an angular project
reisio 2017-03-04 14:42:28
you should keep everything you care about within ~/ (/home/youruser/)
farchanjo 2017-03-04 14:42:31
tonyt: why do u need a new kernel?
reisio 2017-03-04 14:42:47
~/projects/project#27
dell 2017-03-04 14:42:50
if i keep them there, will they be accessible from windows on dual boot ?
dell 2017-03-04 14:43:46
reisio, ??
reisio 2017-03-04 14:43:48
dell: just as much as if you kept them anywhere else, yes
reisio 2017-03-04 14:44:05
you'd need something to read ext, most likely, on Windows
reisio 2017-03-04 14:44:13
why're you dual booting?
dell 2017-03-04 14:44:37
i am new to ubuntu and if i mess up something, i would like to able to work on windows immediately
dell 2017-03-04 14:44:46
