I asked #ubuntu but they didn't know offhand [03:03] so how do you turn the backlight on with a monitor? [03:05] ...are you serious? the contrast was down [03:05] nevermind [03:08] ha [03:08] that's a good one. === dniMretsaM is now known as dniMretsaM_away [08:43] o/ [08:43] amy Ubuntu question [08:43] s/amy/any [09:12] \o [15:38] hi people, does anybody knows what are the folder permissions needed for thunderbird and enigmail PGP/seahorse to run? [15:38] a came across an error in a machine of one of my students when trying to send an encrypted mail === zz_jackyalcine is now known as jackyalcine === yofel_ is now known as yofel [16:00] asterismo: i would just share the error [16:00] should be normal user permissions... [16:00] thunderbird makes no trouble to sending signed mail [16:00] Operación de envío abortada.USERID_HINT 1DF929837E07A4F8 Nadia Martinez (clave openPGP) [16:00] NEED_PASSPHRASE 1DF929837E07A4F8 1DF929837E07A4F8 1 0 [16:00] GOOD_PASSPHRASE [16:00] INV_RECP 0 0x1CBB2500CDC84C16 [16:00] that is the error [16:01] Operación de envío abortada means in spanish "Sending operation aborted" [16:01] so, its just enigmail now? [16:01] thunderbird+enigmail [16:01] the PGP key was created in seahorse [16:01] with my assistence [16:01] by chat [16:02] and it is uploaded in ubuntu keyserver [16:02] im just asking, now thunderbird works? [16:02] the issue is only with enigmail now? [16:02] thunderbird works, and it works sending signed mail [16:02] but not encripted [16:03] she imported other public keys (like mine and other co-workers) [16:03] but when she tries ti encrypt the message, that error comes up [16:03] strange [16:04] so, the issue is with both thunderbird and enigmail? [16:05] yes, but the error itself does not tell me anybody [16:05] anything, sorry [16:05] http://www.hoylen.com/articles/it/email/security/thunderbird.html looks something like what you have done? [16:05] does noy tell me anything about the error, maybe you do understand what it is about [16:06] also, http://lifehacker.com/180878/how-to-encrypt-your-email [16:06] is there anyway to reset gnupg, or seahorse, and all key management to default? [16:07] this person may have screwed up the system permissions, several months ago [16:07] so maybe this issue is related to that [16:07] asterismo: i would say, this is related [16:07] one easy way.. make a new user and test [16:08] otherwise, make sure the permissons are correct and start removing .config files from ~/ til its reset to default [16:09] i mean all system permissions [16:09] all in / [16:09] maybe something screwed up in /usr/lib/gpg [16:09] or something [16:10] i compared permissions but nothing appears to be wrong [16:10] but maybe there is other folder, like the keyring, seahorse, or where passphrases are saved.... dunno [16:11] i usually test as a different user [16:11] i would just look at what you typed above, and anytime you say "maybe", just go and confirm [16:14] is it safe deleting the .config folder? i mean, no email will be lost or something? [16:15] asterismo: i would look for, and backup all data you need/want [16:15] i usually dont deletd them anyway.. i just move them out of the way [16:16] there is no thunderbird folder in ~/.config folder [16:17] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Thunderbird/Thunderbird_Configuration_Files [16:17] this is also another reason why testing with a new user account can make it easier [16:17] if the issue is still there with a new user, then you dont need to bother with what you are doing right now [16:18] maybe locate thunderbird in the terminal would help you find it [16:19] holstein@aphrodite:~$ cd /home/holstein/.thunderbird/ === dniMretsaM_away is now known as dniMretsaM === jackyalcine is now known as zz_jackyalcine === zz_jackyalcine is now known as jackyalcine [21:01] anyway to generate a 8192 bit PGP key with seahorse? [21:01] or other soft in ubuntu? [21:01] please help [22:43] hello [22:45] I installed Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit desktop yesterday, and the primary reason is so that I can try out the steam for linux. One problem, I can't figure out how to get my graphics card working correctly. [22:46] my problem is: The driver from amd results in unity failing to load, and I do not want that to happen. [22:46] More information: My graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 7970. The solutions I have seen are either for the hd 4000 and older (legacy) or max out at the 6000 series. [22:47] any thoughts on how this problem could be solved? === jackyalcine is now known as zz_jackyalcine
