[00:08] Okay, so I'm having a weird problem, when I open an openGL window, or the GIMP, the desktop gets all manner of hideous graphical spazms. [00:27] Is there an easy way to unmount a SD card outside of opening Dolphin and doing it from there..? Let's leave the cli out of responses please.. I know that one. [00:28] Scunizi: does it appear in the device notifier in the system tray? if so there'll be an unmount button there [00:28] good question.. haven't looked there. hang on [00:30] Sentynel: yep.. I played with the little icon right next to its listing. Although not very clear about what it does when looking at it, it appears to mount and unmount the card. Is that the easy location? [00:31] Scunizi: that's the quickest gui way of mounting/unmounting I'm aware of [00:31] I've been on this version of KDE for quite some time and never bothered to look there.

[06:44] systemclient: you'd need to install a dhcpd, either dhcpd3 or dnsmasq is what I'd go with [06:44] setting up dhcpd3 is pretty trivial, and you could change the daemon to start manually [06:46] hateball: okay, how would I set it up to start manually? [06:50] hateball: sysv-rc-conf? [06:50] systemclient: this is a pretty good post http://askubuntu.com/a/20347 [06:50] hateball: I'll look into that, thanks! [06:50] I don't know which version you're on, I don't know if it's upstart in 12.04 as I've not used dhcpd on that [06:50] if it's not, you'll want to use update-rc.d [06:55] hateball: I'll look into it, the askubuntu post is pretty thorough [06:56] When I try to install packages, I am told that something is broken and packages are held. How can I upgrade all held packages? [06:59] is there a kernel module that allows reading from a compact flash drive? When i put a micro sd card on my machine, it mounts fine.

So, to try: cd && sudo chown $(whoami): /home/$(whoami)/.ICEauthority [20:36] it seem this can also happen if someone uses sudo on graphcial interface instead of kdesudo [20:36] mandy434: And then go back to the graphical login screen and see if you able to enter after that [20:36] ok will try this now [20:36] grego: There are several reasons the file can change ownership, yes [20:39] mandy434: can you do an ls -l on the .ICEauthority file?

[21:23] mandy you can try this, open a new window with ctrl-alt-f1 or f2 or f3 .. login as user [21:23] then hit chown user:user /home/user/.ICEauthority [21:24] its a workaround when iceauthority didnt get updated [21:24] Joit:: okay do i need to restart or stay in the current f1 window [21:24] it writes, with root rights, not sure, if you have to put sudo infront [21:24] you dont need to [21:24] you can switch back [21:24] just look where at what window you are in now, [21:25] for user is that my user nake or "user" [21:25] you can test that with cycle through ctrl- alf F1 . F8 [21:25] its your username [21:25] like mandy [21:25] "user" is allways that placeholde for the descritption === ranlgaf is now known as faglnar [21:27] that then would be chown mandy:mandy /home/mandy/.ICEauthority [21:27] ok i have succesfully used the chown command [21:27] now chmod 644 /home/mandy/.ICEauthority [21:28] not sure why he use 644 for this [21:28] usual its something 1000 or so [21:28] but i think it doesnt make much matter [21:28] now ok will do that now [21:29] then type exit [21:29] and then reboot [21:29] ok [21:30] wait [21:30] i found another page :p [21:30] one sec [21:30] already rebooting [21:30] :) [21:30] did i mess up [21:30] no [21:31] did you use sudo at the chown command? [21:31] i did [21:31] ok, that what he suggested too [21:31] i will past what he did [21:31] was similar to ours [21:31] 1. cd /home/benutzername/ [21:31] cool. should i try to log on regular now [21:31] 2. rm -r .ICEauthority [21:31] 4. touch .ICEauthority [21:32] 5. sudo chown Benutzername /home/Benutzername/.ICEauthority [21:32] 6. sudo reboot [21:32] do i need to do these commands now [21:32] he said, that way the iceauthority will be created new [21:32] okay i will do that now [21:32] well, not sure, i tink both should work, only not sure, if the usernumber does make a different [21:33] but we can try it afterwards again,w hen it doesnt work [21:33] mandy434: try ls -l /home [21:33] any user got a number [21:33] usual you have a number allready alligned, and not sure, if kde then makes a different at the files [21:34] because a lot files probatly have the old usernumber === skreech_ is now known as Daskreech [21:34] possible that you lost ownership of your home directory [21:34] but i still dont know, how it all is managed, over a file or over a common management [21:35] right now, we only did change the icdauthority file, so its not much messed [21:36] it says missing operand after mandy/home/mandy.ICEauthority [21:36] when i try the chown command [21:37] do you use it as root? [21:37] yeah [21:37] mean sudo infront [21:37] yeah [21:38] ok, did you do the steps from the second example? [21:38] cd /home/mandy ..? === [mad]Berry is now known as madberry [21:39] so cd first [21:39] oh shoot missed that ill redo [21:40] what do you get at ls -ls /home? [21:40] what numbers [21:40] what numbers for mandy [21:40] err ls -la /hom [21:40] +e [21:40] arrgh [21:41] :) ls -la /home Is it! [21:41] it says cd command not found. or without sudo permission denied [21:42] do ls [21:42] ok [21:42] it took that [21:42] do you need the output [21:43] just tell me the number what is in the line of mandy [21:44] then we can compare with the first example [21:45] there are four lines. the first says "total 12" [21:46] the next " drwxr-xr-x 3 root root" [21:46] well, i looked again, seems 777 works better, because it changes the the permission of folders subfolders and files [21:47] can you open again a console with ctrl-alt-f2 or 3 [21:47] yeah [21:47] f1 - f5 works [21:47] im in f1 right now [21:48] login as user [21:48] should i switch [21:48] no its ok i think [21:48] okay i am already logged on as user in that case [21:48] then do sudo chmod 777 /home/user/.ICEauthority [21:48] then do sudo chmod 777 /home/mandy/.ICEauthority [21:49] um... in practice,777-ing items is bad [21:49] like literally ***bad*** [21:50] darn it, you are right [21:50] i read further [21:50] i am sorry, need to redo it [21:50] i'm not on KDE atm, but I have a .ICEauthority... its perms are like this [21:50] 32K -rw------- 1 teward teward 28K Jul 12 16:50 .ICEauthority [21:50] uh o [21:50] now what [21:50] 1 sec... [21:50] already dids it [21:51] nothing lost [21:51] is there a sudo undo ha ha [21:51] you allways can change the permission [21:51] oh good [21:51] you simple overwrite it with a new sudo :) [21:51] ok [21:51] would be 600 if you're using numerics to define permissions [21:51] 664 was ok, just need a _r at last [21:51] (if you're matching default-setups) [21:51] -R [21:52] ok so what do i write now? [21:52] that page i looked up again, said, you can get errors with ie apche at 777 [21:53] so do the same thing but do sudo chmod 664 /home/mandy/.ICEauthority -R [21:53] do sudo chmod 664 /home/user/.ICEauthority -R [21:53] yes [21:54] okay done [21:54] ok, now you can reboot [21:54] i hope to see you soon :) [21:55] rebooting I need a drink. Should it work now [21:55] changing the permissions is not a big deal anyway [21:55] yes, it should [21:56] we did create the permission file new and set the permission from your files and folders at your home folder [21:56] there is nothing lost when you didnot format anything or delete :) [21:56] It still wont let me log in "cannot enter home dierectory. using /." [21:57] you need to reboot [21:57] did you do that? [21:57] I did. [21:57] that was fast [21:57] did it matter that the cd step was missed before [21:57] Hi people of the World [21:58] not for the example one [21:58] he didnt do that [21:58] oh. [21:58] so i only needed the one chmod command [21:59] try again sudo chown mandy:mandy /home/user -R [21:59] and then reboot again [21:59] err [21:59] try again sudo chown mandy:mandy /home/mandy -R [21:59] missed one mandy :) [22:00] okay [22:00] then reboot [22:00] btw did you install maybe clamav? [22:00] a page said, it can mess up with this file [22:01] or the permission even [22:02] sorry lost connection for a minute [22:03] Still no luck [22:04] np [22:04] ok again step by step [22:04] okay [22:04] but i wanna look again a bit more at the web [22:04] you are not the only one with the problem :) maybe someone has a good solution [22:04] is that an installed system or a live system? [22:04] good [22:05] this is so weird. I worked perfectly for 2 months. [22:05] what is installed vs live [22:05] Its all local and a fresh installation if thats what you mean [22:11] mandy558: shows 2 solutions now. either reboot in recovery mode, or first try it again with chmod [22:12] the first and easy method is, open a a console again [22:12] ok. [22:12] then type chown mandy:mandy /home/mandy/.ICEauthority [22:12] this time maybe without root rights [22:12] when you got an error, then you have to use the sudo [22:13] i understand peoples very well, when they do not want to look at the net, so much mess there ... [22:13] do i need -R [22:13] at the next command [22:14] did you get an error? [22:14] okay not on the chown though [22:14] no errors [22:14] chmod 644 /home/mandy/.ICEauthority [22:15] the -r command is actually only to change the permission at the folder and files [22:15] this 2 been for set the permission at the iceautority file [22:15] so -R on this one either [22:16] no, its only good for setting permission on fodlers and files, that should work on the file [22:16] but i ll look [22:16] okay no errors [22:17] -R, --recursive change files and directories recursively [22:17] ok then try rebooting [22:17] did you run gnome as root prabtly? [22:17] that was a error too, what some made [22:17] how do i know if i ran gnome at boot [22:18] you see it , its a graphical interface :) [22:18] but it was probatly at f8 [22:18] but anyway, its not that importend [22:18] I used the ctrl alt f1 at the login menue for the previous steps [22:18] was that okay? [22:19] mainly its to fix the ice file and have the permission for your user [22:19] yes, you can use any konsole what runs at f1-f5 [22:19] it doesnt matter, you can open them all time at linux, thats wha is kinda handy here :) [22:19] Cool. Should I try normal logon now? [22:19] :) [22:19] and toogle betweeeen the konoles with ctrl-alt f1-f5 [22:20] yes [22:20] dang same old errors [22:20] ok seems the ice file dont get updated [22:21] yeah. maybe idk. :) [22:21] its simple a hidden file the .dot at the beginnin indicate that, and its located at /home/username [22:21] should i ls that file then [22:21]
