@blade19899: show-off!

(We know you can do HTML...) :P ;-)

Oli

@blade19899 with 100% width, the auto margin won't centre anything. You need text-align:center if that's what you're shooting for.

Fabby

:D :D :D

Oli

And the 100% width is implicit, since it's a block level element.

Rinzwind

now blade19899 cheeks are red

Not trying to shame, just improve and teach

@Oli I literaly made that with the sublime text 2 boilerplate. I Have assed it. Appreciate the lesson though!

Fabby

I'll delete the question and answer and test on an external HDD

user139252

Not only do you have to deliberately type it, you also have to confirm password. People are silly.

user68186

@Fabby Sure. Go ahead.

Fabby

No I can't delete: you've ansdwered as well...

I'll start editing right away!

user139252

@Rinzwind I know, I was just wondering what people are thinking these days.

user68186

@Fabby I didn't know about the advanced ntfs options, and it looks rather complicated (editing user permissions manually in Windows etc.) for an ordinary user.

Fabby

that's for the expert user...

user139252

15:32

What is Fabby trying to do?

user68186

@DonaldBrown Fabby is trying to tell users to move /home into an ntfs partition so that files are accessible in Windows in a dualboot setup.

user139252

Ah... Could be complicated if the /home is already made. More complicated if it's encrypted.... I did this once before sometime last year. I'll try to remember what I did.

user139252

Could they create a separate NTFS partition, add it /etc/fstab as mount to /home, boot from live CD and move home directory to the new partition, and then be good?

user68186

I have a some-program that puts a file owned by root in .some-program in my home. The program throws a fit if the ownership of that file is changed. How does ntfs handle such ownership?

user139252

When I was sharing an NTFS partition between Ubuntu and windows, anything created by root couldn't be touched by windows

user139252

15:44

Like, I could open the files, but only in read-only. And, if I tried to delete anything, it told me "permission denied"

user68186

@DonaldBrown The process of moving home to a separate partition is well documented. The issue is can this partition be ntfs? My understanding is since ntfs does not respect Linix ownership and permission, putting /home in ntfs permission can mess things up.

*Linux

user139252

It also warned me whenever I tried to manipulate a regular user file that the file was shared. It seemed to respect the permissions, it just didn't know that it was doing so.

user139252

I'm actually on a dual boot machine right now, let me try something.

user139252

After I reinstall gparted, of course.

user68186

Thanks @DonaldBrown All my machines are single-boot now. I can't test this conjecture.

user136984

16:09

I think that it would be good if every say 10 flags which you have cast which have been deemed "helpful" should earn you a certain amount of points. Say something like +1 or +3. Or even a system where when you get something like 50 flags which you have cast, deemed as "helpful" for you to then get something like a +20. What do you think guys?

terdon

Yeah, you're going to have to work for your rep like us regular folks.

@Toroidal NO!

user136984

That would be awful! We get enough spam flags as it is.

spam for the mods I mean.

user136984

But people would know that they would only get the points if it was deemed "helpful", thus I don't think that the amount of spam would necessarily change...

user136984

But maybe your rep points shouldn't go up just because you flagged something up... As I suppose that someone could just flag everything up, and if they were lucky get the points... But if it was only like every 100 or so flags deemed "helpful" that they would get the points, then maybe not...

Q: Ubuntu installed on an external hard disk but not working

I have installed Ubuntu on my external hard disk (1TB Western Digital, My Passport). I have only 30GB of free space in my external hard disk, so I partitioned as: 1st partition is for my backup data which is of around 900GB 2nd partition is for Ubuntu, which is of 30GB, in which i have made sub...

I told him, in a comment, to do what I had to do.

user139252

Putting GRUB in the /boot partition led to no boot.

Choosing no partition to install to led to successful boot.

user139252

Logic behind that?

@DonaldBrown That's how it works. That's not no partition, it's the mbr.

The external drive needs to have it's own bootloader installed into the mbr of the drive. To do that choose the partion letter by itself. As you saw, /dev/sdb (say), not /dev/sdb5

user139252

Ah, okay. Totally makes sense.

A: Ubuntu installed on an external hard disk but not working

Because you are installing to an external drive, you need to configure the bootloader to be in the MBR of the drive itself. As such, you do not need the /boot partition. Instead, select the bootloader installation target as /dev/sdX, replacing X with which ever letter the rest of your partitions ...

That answer good now?

Yup!

chaskes

Looks good. I edited it a little bit

Fabby

There are 2 exceptions to the rule @chaskes gave you:

FAT partitions with the boot flag set

diagnotics partitions with the boot flag set

chaskes

which rule?

the one in chat?

Fabby

"DonaldBrown That's how it works. "

:P

Yup.

chaskes

Ok, noted and thanks. General case was covered.

@NathanOsman oh those are fun!

Nathan Osman

They are very not fun.

One of the threads has a nested event loop.

OT I hope askubuntu.com/questions/582168/…

@NathanOsman eeew. thread #1 needs something, threadlock applied to something by thread #2 with the nested event loop, the event that unlocks the resource never gets called or does not return?

@Rinzwind gray area. not touching it one way or the other.

Think of the reply "I broke it installing Ubuntu, now you won't help me fix it, and you close my question? Well that just sucks. Thanks for nothing."

Rinzwind

@hbdgaf of course. But in this case Ubuntu aint gonna fix it

hbdgaf

Fair enough, I just see the drama storm and am steering away from it instead of through it.
