Sure my friend, some of your entries are simply wrong ... :) First things first : the latest edition of GParted Live is 0.31.0-1 ! :) Secondly : make sure that the ISO file indeed resides in the correct folder on the 3rd partition of the second disk (the first disk is disk 0). Execute : sudo nano /etc/grub.d/40_custom
Add the following content (replace "path-to-folder" with the correct path, replace "X" with the disk number and "Y" with the correct partition) :

menuentry "GParted Live ISO" {
set isofile="/path-to-folder/gparted-live-0.31.0-1-amd64.iso"

By the way @Fabby, the same you can do with Clonezilla ... the way is exactly the same - a very convenient to manage backup and restore :

menuentry "Clonezilla Live ISO" {
set isofile="/path-to-folder/clonezilla-live-2.5.5-38-amd64.iso"
loopback loop (hdX,Y)$isofile
linuxefi (loop)/live/vmlinuz boot=live components config findiso=$isofile ip=frommedia toram=filesystem.squashfs union=overlay username=user
initrdefi (loop)/live/initrd.img
}

Hope I could help you ... :)

Q: Can't list any iptables rules with iptables -Lvn

I just installed fail2ban and when I wanted to check if ssh iptables jail is running. That is when I saw that iptables -Lvn list nothing. Iptables are running with custom script but I have no idea why no rules are listed. It just shows nothing, not even default policy This is the script: #!/bin/...

ubuntu iptables fail2ban

:44031684 good morning

@Fabby One thing : forgot to say that you have to remove your wrong entries in the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file ... otherwise it would lead to a second entry in the GRUB menu which of course doesn't work. :)

@ByteCommander same to you ! :) I have deleted my "Good morning message" because the chat site behaved strange after I sent it to you ... :)

Rinzy ! :) Good morning to you too @Rinzwind ! :)

It aint

7:51 AM

@Rinzwind Why ?

8:02 AM

Oh, @Fabby - and another thing : why do you place the ISO file in your home folder ? Not a good idea ... better place the ISOs on a separate partition (just a suggestion) ! :)

8:33 AM

@cl-netbox Good morning... Downloading latest version and executing your orders, sir! ;-)

@cl-netbox Trying gparted first! (Rebooting)

I saw no strangeness

/shrug

@cl-netbox Yeah, but that's where they now all are. I'll do some reorg later

(rebooting)

@cl-netbox I am in the town that won the dutch football this year

8:50 AM

@cl-netbox Guess what? I have another error now, but that one is because of the spaces in the directory name. Solving that now and trying again.

@Rinzwind And that's not the football club you're rooting for?

what gave that away @Fabby

I could post a picture, but I've been banned once before for posting the Feyenoord kid.

heck my team lost against them y-day

@Fabby they ended up 30 points behind this year :X

Q: Gedit (from terminal) has stopped opening files in tabs, and now opens an instance per file - how do I switch it back to tabs?

I'm using a new install of Ubuntu 12.04 MATE edition. I'd installed gedit which had been working normally, ie if i did gedit filename, and gedit was already open, it opened the file in a new tab. On friday, though, something weird happened and I was logged out. When I logged back in, gedit now...

ubuntu mate gedit

9:17 AM

OK, I'm going to move the ISO files I keep from my admin user home directory to somewhere eles more system-wide....

In your professional opinion, which would be be the best spot to put them:

/boot/live-ISOs

/etc/live-ISOs

@Rinzwind @cl-netbox ???

Hmm?

neither :=)

where would you put them (had a look at the FSH standard)?

keep boot and etc clear from user files :=)

@Fabby are these ...

backups?

files you can use?

No, ISO files from gParted live, CloneZilla live, ...

so not-mountable iso's?

9:20 AM

Well, they are mountable, but they'll be used to boot from, not to be mounted.

aha.

wait

boot from the system put them on?

They'll be booted from the system they're physically on.

so /boot/ seemed like the logical choice.

or maybe /etc/ as that contains the host config.

not really a "service" the host provides, so not /srv/

is boot a partition?

Maybe just make a new folder in /, like /isos ?

@Rinzwind only / and /home are on different partitions.

@ByteCommander I'd like to adhere to the spirit of the FSH standard.

9:24 AM

@Fabby FHS does not come into play here.

Well, I need to store them somewhere... :P

I'd pick /boot if you boot them from that system and /boot is not a partition.
Otherwise I'd use a dir in /opt.

:thinking:

like /opt/iso and /opt/backup for olders iso's

or /boot and /opt/backup for older versions :+)

I agree: it's optional not on other systems.

/opt/Live-ISOs and /opt/Live-ISOs/old

9:26 AM

for things like this the FHS just says: whatever you want; it is your system and your files. FHS is more about how OTHERS should treat your system.

and mainly so 2 or more others do not do things differently.

@Rinzwind yeah, so I don't want to take an illogical choice.

Thanks for the advice.

@Fabby this works on any unix based system

though I'd ditch the capitals :=)

capitals are annoying :P

Oh no! the old "capitalize versus non-capitalised debate.

:D

wtf

kubuntu kde kubuntu-netbook

EXT4 is a case-sensitive FS

@Rinzwind looks like Thai

VTC uncclear what you're asking after leaving a nice note.

9:30 AM

@Fabby VTC. Period :+)

it is gonna be spam anyways

SPAM! teeth-whitening!

@Rinzwind Vietnamese teeth whitening spam, reported to smokey for instant nuke

@ByteCommander How do you do that?

in Charcoal HQ, 1 min ago, by Byte Commander

!!/report https://askubuntu.com/q/1025455/367990

Cool!

Should I star that or better not?

9:33 AM

Nah

ok, back to ISO files...

@Fabby rm -rf /opt/Live-ISOs

@Rinzwind I'm just about to type:

fab-root@fab-ux-predator:~/Documents/ISO or Images
$ sudo cp clonezilla-live-20170905-zesty-amd64.iso /opt/Live-ISOs/

so there's nothing in it yet...

:P

@ByteCommander P.S. My first OS was CP/M and you could only store stuff in the root directory as there were no directories...

now you just wait for the "at" command i typed just before that

and if you stored 512 files, the root directory was full and you had to use another floppy.

@Rinzwind :D :D :D

9:40 AM

:D

Xenix was my 1st real OS. Before that T/OS and Dos.

@Rinzwind :D Xenix was my 5th.

CP/M; DOS, NetWare, AIX, Xenix, NT4, RHEL, Tru64

Oh I did AIX before too

I coded in RPG400 :X

Urgh!

I've ever only had to read the source code of that.

RPG400 was not too bad unless you watch the source code :X

@Fabby that. Oh man.

I had to convert something from an AS/400 programmed in RPG to an Intel running NetWare and ended up re-implementing the original analysis.

and then went over all the bug reports and implemented about 1/3rd of them too.

and only forgot one.

9:47 AM

Oh and i did cobol 85 before that too

Everyone our age had to do COBOL at one stage.

That's why I don't even want to start on Python: I really dislike positional programming languages.

naah. I don't mind when the "positional" means easier to read.

I have someone here that insists on putting the { and } in javascipt on a new line.

I like crystal clear verbose code so

he sees 1/2 the code I do in perl/pyton :P

if (true)
{
}
else
{
}

9:49 AM

yeah like that :X

he even uses those when there is 1 stmt.

@Rinzwind me too: easier to maintain.

if I ever have to add something, the {} are already there.

in eclipse I just do control-shift-f and it is formatted into 4 spaces in python. no need to bother with the mixing tabs and spaces for me

i bet he's in his 40s and knows how to program in PASCAL.

@Fabby 50s and no.

:D

9:51 AM

Best is I show you how I do it :

/dev/sdb4 /run/media/cl/virtual
/dev/sdb3 /
/dev/sdb1 /boot/efi

/dev/sda4 /run/media/cl/system
/dev/sda3 /run/media/cl/rescue
/dev/sda2 /run/media/cl/media
/dev/sda1 /run/media/cl/data

I have the ISOs in a holder on sda4 (system) and the backups on sda3 (rescue)

He's BASIC all the way @Fabby

@Rinzwind So he went the opposite of BASIC: good.

@cl-netbox reading for the 3rd time now.

and here are my entries :

menuentry "clonezilla" {
set isofile="/various/clonezilla-live-*-amd64.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,4)$isofile
linuxefi (loop)/live/vmlinuz boot=live components config findiso=$isofile ip=frommedia toram=filesystem.squashfs union=overlay username=user
initrdefi (loop)/live/initrd.img
}

menuentry "gparted" {
set isofile="/various/gparted-live-*-amd64.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,4)$isofile
linuxefi (loop)/live/vmlinuz boot=live components config findiso=$isofile ip=frommedia toram=filesystem.squashfs union=overlay username=user

@cl-netbox Urgh! You created another root directory!

Aha! but I like the gparted-live-*-amd64.iso

@Fabby What ??? I have my system on sdb

@Fabby no ... that is a template !!!

9:54 AM

Ah!

I thought it automatically took the first one...

I thought: groovy!

@Fabby yuck

java :X

this is the current one :

menuentry "clonezilla" {
set isofile="/various/clonezilla-live-2.5.5-38-amd64.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,4)$isofile
linuxefi (loop)/live/vmlinuz boot=live components config findiso=$isofile ip=frommedia toram=filesystem.squashfs union=overlay username=user
initrdefi (loop)/live/initrd.img
}

menuentry "gparted" {
set isofile="/various/gparted-live-0.31.0-1-amd64.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,4)$isofile
linuxefi (loop)/live/vmlinuz boot=live components config findiso=$isofile ip=frommedia toram=filesystem.squashfs union=overlay username=user

so what is the /run/ for?

@Fabby on fedora partitions get mounted to /run/media where on ubuntu they are mounted to /media ! :D

Ah, OK...

I only have 2 additional directories in /

old_root (a copy of the root of my previous machine I can chroot into, will dissapear in about 6 months)

temp which is just a symlink to /var/tmp

so I like to keep everything in the FSH as much as possible a I remember CP/M: everything in the root directory!

:D ;) :D

ls /opt/Live-ISOs/
clonezilla-live-20170905-zesty-amd64.iso
FreeDos fd12src.iso
gparted-live-0.30.0-1-amd64.iso
manjaro-kde-17.1.7-stable-x86_64.iso
Win10_1709_EnglishInternational_x64.iso

starting with gparted. Going to reboot soon.

10:02 AM

@Fabby Aren't you the master of disaster (recovery) anymore ??? :D :D :D What does it help when you break the system and want to recover it from images being placed inside that damaged system ... place ALL stuff outside the system ... PLEASE ! :)

These are things that I can easily re-download from their source...

I'm not planning on keeping them, just the list of them in my 40_custom.

who cares if they disappear?

Does it work now @Fabby ? Are the ISOs booting ? :)

I've been talking too much here instead of working!

Back to terminal!

@Fabby Well, I thought you appreciate my assistance ... :(

@cl-netbox I do!!!!

10:05 AM

Gonna get me a smoke now ... BRB

I'm going to test gparted now!!!

Good idea! me too first!

rebooting

Back ...

@Rinzwind completely agree ! even more : keep the whole system clean from personal stuff ! :)

@Fabby And ? success ? finally ... ? :)

On all my systems I can format / and /home and reinstall Ubuntu (or any other Linux).

My /home is clean too.

same here ... not a single file from me in /home ->
[cl@cl-fw-1 ~]$ ls -l
total 32
drwxr-xr-x. 2 cl cl 4096 21. Nov 19:11 Desktop

10:21 AM

mine is like this

$ ls -l
$

@Rinzwind having all stuff separated from the system has only advantages ! :)

@Rinzwind cool :D

I have a copy of .config/users-dirs.dirs in /discworld I copy over to /home/

and then I do a rm -rf /home/* :D

@Rinzwind I have that on sda3 (rescue) :D

@Rinzwind We seem to follow the same philosophy ... :)

ssd and hdd combo for the win :)

:D

10:29 AM

@cl-netbox error: unknown file system.

You need to load the kernel first.

@Fabby EVERY single thing has to fit ... check for faults ... I'm through this with many users ... believe me, it just works ... check for lower / upper case letters ... check for spaces ... and so on ... and it works an ALL systems - I do that since years ! :)

can you copy yours again for gparted here below in fixed font so it's easier to check, please?

@cl-netbox I believe you! That's why I asked you.

For me it's my first, so I have a learning curve.

@Fabby so my isos are on sda4 in the folder various ... and don't forget : sudo update-grub afterwards ! :)

:D doing an update-grub again just in case.

@Fabby you have to do that every time after you changed something in that file ! :)

10:39 AM

I know, and I missed something somewhere as I just noticed:

aha

/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 278: /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: /etc/grub.d/40_custom: not found

what is that ?

update-grub2

looking into it.

do that ... something seems to be very wrong there ... :D

10:40 AM

@Fabby newbie :)

->invalid boot stanza 99 out of 100 times

I could send you the Feyenoord kid, but I'll refrain from doing so...

hahaha

@Fabby go for it :=) and get banned again

@Fabby is it executable?

@Rinzwind first thing I checked.

@Rinzwind have Churchill instead

@Rinzwind is it possible that @Fabby is actually running his "beloved" Windows system in order to change the keyboard lights while trying to update the GRUB config files ??? :D :D :D

10:45 AM

@cl-netbox Churchill again ;-) :D ;-)

(Do you get it? Photoshopped picture...)

:D :D :D

just kiddin ...

@Fabby what gives ls -l /etc/grub.d ?

sorted. typo in 40_custom

AAAHHHAAA

as I said : everything has be correct ... :D

I'm sure you'll get it done in the end @Fabby ! :)

rebooting.

good luck :)

11:06 AM

Looks like Telegram has been stopped: Application keeps stopping.

@Fabby Telegram ? What about gparted iso - did it boot now ? :)

rebooting now

user image

I'll google those

@Fabby you don't have to ... there is simply something wrong with your entries : I had the same with another friend the other day - he swore everything is correct ... until we found a space and a wrong number ! :)

I've been stqring qt this for too long.

@Fabby one thing : disable secure boot please (in case you haven't already) :)

11:18 AM

I thought I did that yesterday but will check again.

I've been staring at this for too long: I'm going to take a shower, go into town, buy myself some new Jeans and a bew checp USB sticks and look at this again in a few hours.

Windows will boot in secure boot nevertheless - so keep it disabled @Fabby :)

I'm on holiday anyway! 0:-)

@Fabby okay, see you later ... have fun ! :)

Fun? buying clothes? Urgh!

@Fabby N00B!

11:33 AM

@DavidFoerster I'm starting with booting the gparted ISO, then clonezilla, then I'll move to Windows 10...

(see above. first going to buy clothes)

and probably smoke :=)

12:05 PM

Hi. Do any of you know why a system mightn't care that its user has set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad's send-events in dconf-editor to disabled-on-external-mouse?

'Cause mine just... doesn't. No error messages that I can see. I've run it dconf-editor as sudo and as me, and it never works.

I've deleted ~/.config/dconf/user and reset the settings. Nothing.

I'm asking here because nothing on the network already works at all, and I fear that if I were to ask myself it'd be marked as duplicate and... oh, I don't know. I just want to know what to do.

@Fabby Once you're back from shopping, please ping me - if I'm not here you can reach me via hangouts. Then I will do it for you, the only thing you will have to do is being concentrated (no AU dupes, VTC's, Telegram or other things in between :D) and also follow all my advises - step by step. I'm pretty sure that we can get it done. Please prepare the following thing : mount all partitions from all built-in disks and then I need the output from df -h ... okay ? :)

@Tachtaeni well is there a possible duplicate? did you try the solution(s) presented there? if you did and it didn't help it's totally fine to include this information in a new question on main. “I saw [insert question] and tried [insert approach], but it just showed me [insert error] and didn't help.”

That will alert the answerer, yeah?

@Tachtaeni no, but prevent from being dupehammered and show that you tried to solve it yourself, which strongly encourages people here ;)

I guess. But the main reason I'm asking here is because I've been tackling at least three different problems on my system at once all the time and my brain is totally fried, I'm stressed and just want to be able to get the answer... live? IDK.

12:12 PM

Hi @dessert ! :) Good afternoon ... nice to see you ! :) How are you doing ? Everything okay with your son ? Hope so ... :)

@cl-netbox well today he has been vomiting, but that's a totally different issue :D

@dessert maybe due to the coming weather change ... some people are sensitive to that.

@cl-netbox an allergy test showed an alarmingly high count of an enzyme related to (any) allergy, but they couldn't get to the ground what can cause the allergic reaction that presumable triggers his asthma – they test again in autumn.

I'm also quite annoyed that most of my time on Linux has been spent trying to fix, breaking and reinstalling it. Not that I'll ever switch back to Windows, mind.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@dessert hmmm - it's always the same : when it's something else than a flu, the doctors often have no idea ... :(

12:16 PM

@Tachtaeni At least it's fun to do that in Linux, not depressing like with Windows. ;)

ah...

that noise literally gives me PTSD, I am not joking one bit

i shouldn't have unmuted. soz

anyways uh, yeah, to an extent.

rip

I don't find it at all fun, personally. Sure, it's possible at least, but usually lasts for 9 hours and then at the end of the day I reinstall

and find that, on my desktop pc, the problem with the graphics drivers that suddenly popped up (the right thing, idk what that is -> llvmpipe, desktop stuck at 800 600) PERSISTS after reinstalling ubuntu

so things often just seem to roll back on their own y'know

@Tachtaeni Hi ! :) What GPU hardware do you have ?

@cl-netbox not in this case though: the do a blood test and as this was the first one for him they could only check for a number of things

12:21 PM

GASP there's a command called "dconf update"! maybe that's what i've been missing. oh wait, of course that doesnt make any difference OR tell me what went wrong, as always >_>

@cl

oops

@cl-netbox, my currently-broken desktop pc has an nvidia 1050

@dessert okay ... I wish him good luck ! :)

i switched to the proprietaries and stuff
Most of the tortuous activity is, I guess repressed by me

@Tachtaeni okay - and which CPU ?

uh... well i dont know how to access it right now lol.
i'll stick my gnome installer into, "try gnome," get the CPU it and tell you soon

@Tachtaeni sudo lshw :)

12:25 PM

if the TTYs are working i'll use them

oh, now i remember. the graphics're fixed (somehow. idk what i did, i never do) but now it just says "Stopping User Manager for UID 121"

@Tachtaeni seems you messed up a lot of stuff ...

```/dev/sda13: recovering journal
/dev/sda13: clean, 431118/25731072 files, MORE NUMBERS blocks
ok started lsb blah
ok started slice user slice of gdm
starting user namager for uid 121
starting session c1 of user gdm
started user manager for uid 121
stopping user manager for uid 121```.......
hung.

12:45 PM

i'm going to reinstall it on that machine later, i'll be away from it for a while

i just wish that it would tell me what was going wrong here on my laptop

are there logs for dconf?

@Tachtaeni that's a good idea ... I wish you good luck ! :)

ubuntuforums.org/… if this hasn't worked i might start crying blood or something

reboot had better do it

i didnt cry blood, but it didnt work. strange.
anyway, "xinput --disable *deviceidtakenfromxinput*" to turn it off and on manually. i still cant get it working how it should

smh linux

you-- or rather your applications or whatever--- should work better than that

3 hours later…

5:25 PM

I'm trying to purge some old kernels and I have this already:
dpkg --list | awk '{print $2}' | grep linux-image.*4.4.* | awk '{print "apt purge --simulate "$0}'

to make that execute, I thought I just had to:
dpkg --list | awk '{print $2}' | grep linux-image.*4.4.* | $(awk '{print "apt purge --simulate "$0}')

does anyone know?

@Seth so how's the ~~cooker, stove, heater~~ computer doing?

;-) Do you need help in procuring cooling or not? 0:-) (never got an answer on that one)

Hey @Fabby - you're back ! :) Have you seen my suggestion (chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/44035955#44035955) ?

@cl-netbox lemme reboot first to try my last test. downloaded 31 now to avoid 30 being the culprit and copy-pasted your entire entry

Thank you for the offer! (blush)

try last one first!

2 minutes

reboot

okay

back; it's the same and same and looks like this now:

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to change

and a: df -P /opt/Live-ISOs/gparted-live-0.31.0-1-amd64.iso | tail -1 | cut -d' ' -f 1 gives:

/dev/sdb2

5:44 PM

@Fabby looks wrong ... lemme check

it's now a copy-paste of yours

only isofile is different. moving file to /opt and trying again in the meantime

@Fabby let's try something ... do you have a partition sdb4 ?

erm

/dev/sdb2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)
/dev/sda1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/sdc1 on /media/Data type fuseblk (rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)
/dev/sdb3 on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)

I still have unallocated space that can become sdb4

@Fabby good idea ... create ithe partition and then create a folder with the name "various" ... put the iso in that folder - meanwhile I write the entry

mount | grep /dev/sd
/dev/sdb2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)
/dev/sda1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/sdc1 on /media/Data type fuseblk (rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)
/dev/sdb3 on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/sdb4 on /various type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)

$ sudo cp /opt/Live-ISOs/gparted-live-0.31.0-1-amd64.iso /various

@Fabby done ? now : sudo nano /etc/grub.d/40_custom

menuentry "gparted" {
set isofile="/various/gparted-live-0.31.0-1-amd64.iso"
loopback loop (hd1,4)$isofile
linuxefi (loop)/live/vmlinuz boot=live components config findiso=$isofile ip=frommedia toram=filesystem.squashfs union=overlay username=user
initrdefi (loop)/live/initrd.img
}

Save and close the file and then : sudo update-grub

sudo update-grub2

rebooting

Did you check whether the iso is in that folder @Fabby ?
