zOnnydcammue: lol11:28
zOnnydcammue: gabriel_jetro where are we?11:28
dcammueI am at Jetro office 11:28
zOnnydcammue: I see you are fully involve with students during the week11:28
dcammueYes11:29
zOnnydcammue: Do you like you role?11:29
dcammueI am helping jelkner out11:29
gabriel_jetroThere's no update now from my I'm currently blocking on getting my computer function properly 11:29
gabriel_jetrozOnny: 11:29
dcammueTo speed head his class 11:29
zOnnygabriel_jetro: got you11:29
dcammueI like the role duo11:29
zOnnygabriel_jetro: not sure how updated you are but I'm building a LibreCMS which is a little-brother from LibreOrganize 11:31
gabriel_jetroSure but me and Thomas were working on the .json file that you said I should explore this week he was guiding me through until I changed my OS and got blocked on my computer system working improperly 11:31
zOnnygabriel_jetro: the goal of this is a more CMS focus for our partners with no need of the whole libreorganize as it is11:31
zOnnygabriel_jetro: I hope it gets fixed11:31
zOnnygabriel_jetro: I have a lot to show you and you to learn11:32
gabriel_jetroOk11:33
zOnnygabriel_jetro: a good computer is most needed11:33
zOnnygabriel_jetro: that is going to be your money maker11:33
gabriel_jetroYeah I sure when I get home today I'll solved it, it's just normal problem I'm facing on my new Ubuntu set up11:34
zOnnygabriel_jetro: great11:34
zOnnygabriel_jetro: once you start getting more into the projects feel free to ask as much questions you can while we are meeting11:34
zOnnygabriel_jetro: it is important to me you are not stuck on an issue which we both can solve11:35
zOnnygabriel_jetro: sometimes it is all about working together 11:36
gabriel_jetroI backup files from my peppermintos and move all the files to my Ubuntu because I don't want to mess things up that's why 11:36
zOnnygabriel_jetro: it makes things look easier11:36
zOnnygabriel_jetro: I see11:36
gabriel_jetroIf you'll be available I think it'll be best to share with you what I'm facing on my current computer so you can help me solve it today 11:37
zOnnygabriel_jetro: your OS issue?11:37
gabriel_jetroYes, my /home dir can't be located on the system I dunno if it was during the installation 11:38
zOnnydcammue: aren't you installing OS as well?11:38
gabriel_jetroHe's 11:39
gabriel_jetroBut for those at the office 11:39
dcammueAnd one thing, zOnny: backing-up or partitioning files on the machine can also reduce the machine free space. So I guess that's what the cause. Because he had two different OS Ubuntu and peppermint before installing new Ubuntu. 11:39
dcammueHe did it himself zOnny. Not me11:39
zOnnygabriel_jetro: I think you are facing the partitions porblem11:40
dcammueSo I am looking at he having three OS.11:40
dcammueThat's my thinking 11:40
dcammueHe might selected the wrong partition 11:41
gabriel_jetroNot really dcammue 11:41
zOnnygabriel_jetro: /home is often on its own partition. If it wasn't mounted during boot (e.g., bad /etc/fstab entry), it won't appear.11:41
gabriel_jetroI think that's what I'm missing out 11:42
zOnnygabriel_jetro: which os you are installing?11:42
gabriel_jetroUbuntu 11:42
zOnnygabriel_jetro: in Ubuntu /home should always exist11:43
zOnnygabriel_jetro: can you check if /home has been mounted?11:44
gabriel_jetroThat's where I'm blocking on I dunno why it can't be located on my os11:44
zOnnygabriel_jetro: ~$: mount | grep home11:45
zOnnytype that11:45
zOnnygabriel_jetro: also check what partitions exists11:45
zOnny~$: lsblk11:45
gabriel_jetroCan I share with you the image on WhatsApp that I keep getting when I tried to lunch11:46
gabriel_jetrozOnny: currently I'm in church so I'm not with my computer 11:46
zOnnynot sure how I can help with an image11:46
zOnnygabriel_jetro: but yes, I can look into it11:46
zOnnygabriel_jetro: and figure it out with you11:47
zOnnygabriel_jetro: like I said, if you type those commands it will help you narrow where the problem is11:47
dcammuegabriel_jetro: I heard you saying when you get home. Are you not home?11:48
dcammueHe doesn't has his with him computer zOnny 11:48
zOnnylastly check fstab for a /home entry11:49
zOnnydcammue: I see11:49
dcammueMaybe later we can work together 11:49
gabriel_jetroI'll follow your instructions and see zOnny 11:49
zOnnygabriel_jetro: Is the VScode installation not working?11:50
gabriel_jetroYes 11:51
dcammuezOnny, the computer is not browsing at all. It gets connected to the WiFi but there is a question mark ❓ in the WiFi signal 11:51
zOnnygabriel_jetro: this is a permission problem11:52
dcammueSo he needs to reinstall OS before doing any internet work 11:52
zOnnydcammue: I see11:53
zOnnydcammue: Is the OS not picking up the Wifi?11:53
gabriel_jetroIt does connect 11:53
gabriel_jetroBut can't browse 11:54
dcammueIt picks it up, but there is a ❓ in the WiFi signal 11:54
gabriel_jetrozOnny: it's a system error message 11:55
gabriel_jetroThat's what I got when I try to work with the system application software 11:55
zOnnygabriel_jetro: the ? means your device is connected to a network but has no internet access11:56
dcammueBut the fun and interesting part is11:56
dcammueWe all browsing on the same WiFi 11:56
zOnnygabriel_jetro: can you run this commands?11:56
zOnnyip a11:57
dcammueBut his computer refuses 11:57
zOnnygabriel_jetro: and try to pinging the router: ~$: ping -c <the router ip>11:58
gabriel_jetroI'm in church right now zOnny in 3hrs we'll dismiss 11:58
gabriel_jetroI'm not with my computer right now 11:59
zOnnygabriel_jetro: ok11:59
gabriel_jetroYeah 11:59
gabriel_jetroBut I'll do when I get home 11:59
zOnnygabriel_jetro: alright sorry I cannot be as much help right now12:00
gabriel_jetroI understand 12:00
zOnnygabriel_jetro: try also to ping google with the ~$: nslookup google.com12:01
zOnnygabriel_jetro: it will help you figure it out your network issue12:01
gabriel_jetroOkay 12:02
zOnnygabriel_jetro: besides that the VScode installation I think it is a permission error12:02
zOnnygabriel_jetro: this happened when you installed Ubuntu but the user wasn't set up properly12:03
zOnnyor your /home was on a separate partition that was remounted incorrectly12:03
gabriel_jetroYeah, it say mkdir /home bla bla ain't writable 12:04
zOnnygabriel_jetro: quick fix is to reset ownership of your home directory12:05
gabriel_jetroYesy /home was on a separate partition which was the peppermintos 12:05
zOnnygabriel_jetro: ~$: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/$USER12:05
zOnnygabriel_jetro: If that doesn't work, check what's actually wrong12:06
gabriel_jetroOkay 12:07
zOnnygabriel_jetro: See who owns your home folder12:07
zOnny~$: ls -la /home12:07
zOnnySee who owns the config directories12:07
zOnny~$: ls -la ~/.config12:07
zOnny~$: ls -la ~/.local/share12:08
zOnnygabriel_jetro: If the owner shows root instead of your username, that confirms the permissions issue :)12:08
gabriel_jetroOkay 12:09
