[02:56] <ZachK_> akgraner: you 'round?
[02:57] <akgraner> ZachK_, yep - but working on an Ubuntu Women task atm
[02:57] <ZachK_> no prob
[03:49] <nhandler> akgraner: Think you will be able to send me the scripts sometime soon? I would prefer to get them done sooner rather than later
[03:49] <akgraner> nhandler, and nigelb  - I just got the UW election poll out - so I'll send you all the email tomorrow
[03:49] <akgraner> nods
[03:49] <akgraner> had to get the UW stuff out - took a couple days to get it all ready etc
[03:49] <akgraner> cjohnston, ping
[03:49] <nhandler> akgraner: No problem. Now I have the fun challenge of deciding who to vote for ;)
[03:49] <akgraner> can you send nhandler and nigelb the scripts you have
[03:50] <akgraner> :-)
[03:50] <nigelb> I just voted :)
[03:50] <akgraner> nigelb, thank you!
[03:51] <nigelb> nhandler: shall we got for some project like "uwn-scripts"?
[03:51] <nigelb> that should make it easier for merges and finding the stuff later
[03:52] <nhandler> nigelb: Let's see how many scripts we have first. I think there also might already be a UWN project that we could probably use (since neither have that many bugs/branches)
[03:52] <akgraner> cjohnston, has one
[03:52] <nigelb> yes, that would be a good idea
[03:52] <akgraner> 2 I mean
[03:52] <akgraner> and I have one
[03:52] <akgraner> I forgot leann combine 6 of them for me
[03:52] <akgraner> combined
[03:52] <nigelb> nhandler: just start the project and tellwhoever who has scripts s to push it in
[03:53] <nigelb> the tougher part is figuring out copyright and licences
[03:53] <nhandler> Yep. That will be fun
[03:53] <nigelb> Nice that you see it as fun :p
[03:54] <nhandler> nigelb: I'm going to create a UWN project that we can use. That way, it can be used for more than just scripts
[03:54] <nigelb> ok :)
[07:54] <scott_ev> akgraner: is thursday too early to do the upcomming meetings?
[09:56] <popey> akgraner: can we please get this event in UWN http://bit.ly/UbuntuBusiness (or url: http://ubuntuinbusiness.eventbrite.com/) It's in London,UK.
[09:57] <popey> akgraner: important thing to note that it's not an event designed _for_ the community, but aimed at business people who may need convincing, so we kinda called it 'bring your boss' as a working title.
[09:57] <popey> akgraner: blog posts to follow that you could link to as well as the event link above, thanks!
[12:19] <akgraner> popey, thanks!
[12:19] <akgraner> scott_ev, nope you can do them as early as you want to
[12:19] <akgraner> :-)
[12:25] <scott_ev> Ok, good
[23:37] <ZachK_> hello newsies!
[23:58] <scott_ev> allo
[23:59] <scott_ev> and goodbye....flashing a new android rom....


[01:44] <esv> hey folks, I accidentally on purpose deleted all intramfs files on my Ubuntu 22.04 and the darn thing still boots, may I know why?
[01:45] <esv> it's a very cool feature but I'd like to understand why.
[01:46] <esv> or how it is accomplished
[02:02] <bryceh> esv, https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man8/update-initramfs.8.html
[02:03] <bryceh> esv your initramfs files are analogous to the "source code", that this tool builds and installs into your bootloader.  Bit more complicated than that but that's a basic way to understand it.
[02:04] <esv> right, but if I delete them from /boot, how's the machine still starting.
[02:17] <bryceh> esv, again, the stuff in /boot is just the source.  update-initramfs installs the image into the UEFI firmware, and BIOS loads that directly.  Google initramfs and EFI for more details, I'm far from an expert in this, and there's more than one way to do it.
[02:23] <esv> right, but every other OS I've tested fails to boot if initramfs/initrd is not present in /boot, even Ubuntu 18.04.
[02:23] <esv> thanks, I'll dig further.
[04:51] <alkisg> esv: if you wish, send us the output of these commands: (cat /proc/cmdline; sudo cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg; sudo lsblk -fe7; df -h; sudo find /boot -ls) | nc termbin.com 9999
[11:03] <esv> https://termbin.com/niak
[11:03] <esv> alkisg, thnx
[11:06] <esv> ahhhhh! it is taking the initrdfail path
[11:08] <esv> err, initrdless option
[11:08] <esv> pretty nifty
[19:22] <lunatiq> I chmod -R 777 to open permissions for something and it doesn't change it from 444
[19:22] <lunatiq> I chattr -i -R and I get an error
[19:56] <rbasak> lunatiq: I suggest you start by stating what you're actually trying to achieve. See https://xyproblem.info/
[19:58] <lunatiq> I'm trying to open permissions so I can edit a file. For some reason .nfs files are being created at the same time the hacked file is being edited.
[19:59] <lunatiq> its happening every millisecond
[20:00] <sarnold> heh, take a few more steps back..
[20:05] <lunatiq> I can't change permission and Im root
[20:16] <sarnold> pastebin the commands that you're running and the error output you get?
[20:22] <lunatiq> I don't get any error from chmod -R 7777 /dir
[20:22] <lunatiq> 777
[20:45] <sarnold> lunatiq: alright, and namei -l /dir  ?
