Epx998: What is required is a file system of some type on the hard drive to be detected .
jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 14:46:48
dimnisdas: what do you mean?

Bashing-om 2017-03-02 14:47:26

Bashing-om, i tried megaraid but that didnt work
jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 14:49:03
Bashing-om: can you help me? http://pastebin.com/TbSy78hh
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 14:49:44
jiejweejwe: That do say you can talk to the net . so again - what is the particular issue you are experiencing ?
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 14:51:56
Epx998: ' sudo parted -l ' in a pastebin site - let's see what you are working with .
jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 14:53:09
Bashing-om: for example every time I log into my user I get the warning that the system has an error. This happens all the time and I have already updated my system several time, with Ubuntu Software manager and also the typical command "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
Epx998 2017-03-02 14:53:15
Bashing-om: I am working on a kickstart, the ubuntu-installer is not detecting the drive. Trying different modules to see if any will work - so there is no parted command atm
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 14:54:08
jiejweejwe: File system errors ?? Then ya need to run fsck on the file system .
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 14:54:53
Epx998: Nope never messed about to this time with kickstart in linux . No help here on that .
tgm4883 2017-03-02 14:54:55
jiejweejwe: it would help if you could paste the error information somewhere
jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 14:56:33
Bashing-om: one common error that happens all the time is that Mozilla and Thunderbird crashes
jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 14:56:43
Bashing-om: I dont know wht
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 14:58:40
jiejweejwe: Remains - too vague to make an opinion . Run a file system check just on general principles ?
jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 14:59:50
Bashing-om: Yes sorry, Im new. ¿How can I check this file system check?. I'll do it inmediatly
Epx998 2017-03-02 15:00:53
should fdisk -l see all drives seen by the bios, regardless if there is a driver module loaded for it or not?
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 15:01:32
jiejweejwe: Boot a liveDVD and show us ' sudo parted -l ' so we identify what the system partition(s) are .
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 15:02:36
Hinsbart: ^^ a liveDVD such that the target is not mounted . can not run a file system check while the system is in use .

jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 15:06:22
Bashing-om: can it be a live usb drive?
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 15:08:30
jiejweejwe: Look'n .. and yes a USB will do nicely also .
jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 15:09:22
Bashing-om: ok. Is it 100% necessary to obtain the output from a live medium?. Im doing a lot of things now on the pc :) lol
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 15:11:07
jiejweejwe: No, not to look .. but if one were to "fix" then yes worl from another source . In your present case " Error: /dev/mapper/sda3_crypt: unrecognised disk label " I do not know how to help as I have no encryption experience .
jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 15:11:55
Bashing-om :( Can you take a guess on how to fix it?. Im more interested on fixing the Mozilla and Thunderbird problem which crashes regularly
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 15:13:13
jiejweejwe: Fixing swap will in all likely hood fix Mozilla and T-bird . As both require a lot of resources .. these might require access to swap to work .
jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 15:14:36
Bashing-om: How can I do this? ¿Can I eliminate SWAP? so the problem is gone forever?
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 15:14:53
jiejweejwe: As I saud . no encryption experience . can not further advise .

jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 15:16:23
Bashing-om: ok :( ¿Any forum where I can ask this? or maybe apply the solution of an un-encrypted disk
jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 15:16:29
Bashing-om. it should be the same
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 15:20:10
jiejweejwe: Wait here -- others here do have some experience with encryption - . but that does have a level of difficulty that in somne cases can not be overcome . Encryption is the nature of that beast .
jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 15:21:16
Bashing-om: I understand can you hook me up with some of those guys? I'll really appreciate it because aparte of probably solving my problem I would learn from them
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 15:22:37
jiejweejwe: Sorry, I have no interest in ncrytion, and do not know that those I consoert with do either . Wait here and see if these postings get picked up from one who does know .
jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 15:23:48
Bashing-om: ok no problem, thank you very much for your gelp :)!
jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 15:23:59
Bashing-om:*help
Bashing-om 2017-03-02 15:24:29
jiejweejwe: We have come a ways . we now know where the problem lies . Just no known fix for it :)
jiejweejwe 2017-03-02 15:24:49
Bashing-om: ;)
Aurorasaura 2017-03-02 15:32:21
I just want to clarify.. adding a hard drive to a lvm wont affect any data currently on the lvm right?
Aurorasaura 2017-03-02 15:32:34
Sorry I asked this before but had to run to the store

Hi. I'm on 16.04 desktop. I have a program that won't run unless I use the --disable-gpu parameter. I want to add this program in a shortcut on the Unity Launcher (left-side vertical bar). What is the way to create a launcher? What I tried: 1) Right-clicking in the Launcher does nothing. 2) Searching the main menu for "launcher", "shortcut", etc returns no results. 3) Running the app from the
rangergord 2017-03-02 15:44:08
CLI, then right-clicking it in the Launcher and saying "lock to launcher", does not work, because the next time the app is launched, the parameters are ignored. 4) There is no way to edit a locked launcher's parameters.
rangergord 2017-03-02 15:44:47
5) The wiki's information is out of date, and the instructions there don't work
