hi. is it possible to pack an installed application into a deb file?
abrotman 2017-03-03 04:49:55
aexl: you mean something you installed with configure/make/make install, after the install?
aexl 2017-03-03 04:50:47
thanks for your answer, abrotman. well is it different from something i installed from a deb package?

Hey there folks!!
pinaaq 2017-03-03 05:37:11
I did an upgrade of my system and ended up at grub rescue shell
pinaaq 2017-03-03 05:37:27
Then corrected the error using live usb
pinaaq 2017-03-03 05:37:37
reinstalled the grub to sda
pinaaq 2017-03-03 05:38:24
but now all the ntfs partitions on my sda are read-only. I can't move anything to my partitions now
pinaaq 2017-03-03 05:39:02
I've tried some bits but I can't seem to get around the issue
mtn 2017-03-03 05:39:47
pinaaq: what format are you using for debian? ntfs?
pinaaq 2017-03-03 05:40:01
no. I'm using ext4
mtn 2017-03-03 05:40:24
pinaaq: windows still on the box?
pinaaq 2017-03-03 05:40:46
mtn: no.
pinaaq 2017-03-03 05:41:13
removed windows. but I didn't format the partions to ext4
mtn 2017-03-03 05:41:17
pinaaq: you might be able to fix the problem with ntfsfix -d /dev/sdaX
pinaaq 2017-03-03 05:41:39
mtn: thanks sir. Lemme try.
