mahesh_Hello Everyone14:59
Lynxxhi15:02
mahesh_I wanted to paste a ".php" file in to /var/www directory but I got an error "Permission denied" I do not want to login each time to root, only I want is the system should pop up the window for root password or there should be option for a program to run as root , is it possible ? I have Kubuntu  12.04 LTS and I wanted to run php programs15:03
mahesh_Could anyone help me in this?15:03
=== christopher is now known as Guest12826
mahesh_Can anyone advice me on the issue?15:11
yofelmahesh_: you can theoretically run 'kdesudo dolphin', but be very careful then (you will still need a webserver though to view a php site)15:13
yossarianukhi - does anyone know if /tmp has been mounted as tmpfs  and the size of /tmp = 2.5GB - is that using 2.5GB of system ram/swap15:14
yofelyossarianuk: it will at most use 2.5GB of ram/swap15:15
yofelthe size just states the limit15:15
yossarianukyofel: i did a du -hs /tmp to get the value.15:15
yossarianukyofel: thanks btw !15:16
yofelah, try df -h15:16
yossarianukits showing 3.9GB15:16
yossarianukthanks15:16
yofelsize is the limit, used is what's currently being used15:16
yossarianukthis is bad some one has tried to 'optimise 'a server with only 4 GB of ram ..15:17
yofelhehe15:17

FloodBotK1mahesh_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.15:17
yossarianukand I assume as its eating into swap the performance would be just as bad or worse than just using the disk....15:17
yofelit'll be worse15:17
yossarianukthanks for confirming that15:18
yossarianuksomeone is in trouble....15:18
yossarianuk(not serious trouble..)15:18
yofelit won't be *that* bad, but the real filesystem still has better performance then15:18
yofelit's a question of how much I/O actually goes through swap15:19
yossarianukyofel: cheers15:21
mahesh_@<yofel> : I try kdesudo dolphin, it works but getting error : http://paste.kde.org/678476/15:22
mahesh_@<yofel> : Can you advice on this?15:22
BluesKajmahesh_, just fyi , @ isn't required on irc , the nick is enough15:24
tsimpsonmahesh_: you can just ignore those debug messages, dolphin should still work properly15:25
mahesh_yes, it works absolutly fine.15:26

george_hello! Please help me! I can't pass login screen on Kubuntu 12.10. It says "could not start ksmserver. check your installation". How can I solve this?18:05
george_Anyone?18:09
genii-aroundgeorge_: I would suggest: ctrl-alt-f1    then issue: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop         when this is done: alt-f7     and try login again18:10
george_genii-around: you mean go to advanced option, root terminal mode and do that?18:11
genii-aroundgeorge_: No18:11
genii-aroundgeorge_: The system boots up to a graphical login?18:12
george_genii-around: yes, but I can't pass login screen18:12
genii-aroundgeorge_: So then at that graphical login screen, to follow the instructions I just gave18:13
george_genii-around: ok, I'll try that and come back to report. thanks.18:14
genii-aroundgeorge_: You're welcome18:14

george_genii-around: it didn't work! :(18:32
george_genii-around: I've tried to xinit startkde too and got unable to connect to x server: connection refused.18:33
george_genii-around: I also got the following warning: no write access to &home directory (/home/george) KDE is unable to start.18:34
george_I have to fix this, I relly need to work.18:34
yofelis there any more meaningful error in your ~/.xsession-errors ?18:36
george_yofel: I guess not.18:37
genii-aroundgeorge_: The permisssions thing looks like it may be the issue. Apologies on lag, I'm at work and they called me away from the computer18:37
genii-aroundgeorge_: I would suggest fix permissions first: eg: sudo chown -R george: /home/george18:37
yofelgeorge_: what did you do before this happened?18:37
genii-aroundProbably used sudo on something, is my guess18:38
george_genii-around: Ok. But I've already run sudo chown -R george:george /home/george and also sudo chmod -R u+w /home/george18:38
murthyyofel:  libdlna successfully build. http://paste.kde.org/678590/ . I have to go thought the log one more to confirm it. this is the new rules file http://paste.kde.org/678596/18:38
genii-aroundHm18:39
george_yofel: I was trying to recover some files with TestDisk program.18:39
george_genii-around: yep.18:39
yofelmurthy: wrong channel18:39
murthyoops18:40
genii-aroundgeorge_: Is /home on some separate partition or disk?18:40
genii-aroundeg: The one which was problemmatic18:40
yofelgeorge_: recover some files where? on / or /home?18:40
genii-aroundyofel: Thanks, work is calling again :/18:40
george_genii-around: no, i's not a separated partition. I was trying to recover from a flash disk.18:43
george_I really need to fix this issue. Any other ideas guys?18:47
genii-aroundgeorge_: Please: sudo apt-get install pastebinit       and then: ls -l /home | pastebinit         and: mount | pastebinit        and then please give us the URLs it tells18:48
genii-aroundgeorge_: I am currently back and forth from my computer, so please bear with me if I am not responding immediately18:49
george_genii-around: Ok, I'll try that.....18:49
george_genii-around: Ok, when I tried ls- l home | pastebinit, I've got a message saying that it was impossible to access file or directory, not found, and that i was trying to send an empty document,19:00
george_genii-around: The other command gave me the following url: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5555949/19:00
OerHeksgeorge_,  2x type >>   ls -l /home19:02
genii-aroundgeorge_: So that would indicate either that /home does not exist, or else has no contents.19:02
OerHeks*2x typo19:02
george_genii-around: it became empty, after using TestDisk, but sudo dolphin could access it and all my data was there.19:03
genii-aroundgeorge_: "/home" by itself is not where user's stuff is. It's in "/home/theirusername/"19:04
george_genii-around: Now, does the pastebin tells you something?19:04
george_genii-around: Yes, you're right.19:05
genii-aroundAlso using sudo with dolphin is a further cause of problems....19:05
yofelwhat are the permissions on /home ?19:05
george_OerHeks: Don't understand what you're saying.19:05
george_yofel:look, I don't know, I've already run sudo chown - R george:george /home/george and sudo chmod -R u+w /home/george19:06
genii-aroundgeorge_: The pastebin of what is mounted was un-enlightening19:06
genii-aroundgeorge_: But you see, that would be not useful if /home exists but /home/george does not exist19:06
george_genii-around: Oh boy, What can I do? No, /home/george does exist19:07
yofelso what does ls -l /home say again?19:07
george_genii-around: I've got lots of text when I've run those commands, my data was appearing.19:08
george_yofel:  when I tried ls- l home | pastebinit, I've got a message saying that it was impossible to access file or directory, not found, and that i was trying to send an empty document.19:08
yofells -l home sure, but ls -l /home ?19:09
george_yofel: I' had to boot again and do that to know19:10
george_yofel: any other ideas before I do that?19:10
genii-aroundgeorge_: I believe he is still waiting to see your result of:  ls -l /home19:12
genii-around( with the slash in front of home )19:12
yofelhm... maybe wipe the /var/tmp/kdecache-george folder19:12
yofelthe stuff in /tmp should be reset by a reboot anyway19:12
george_genii-around: ok, I'll boot again to try that.19:13
george_yofel: ok, thanks, i'll try that now...19:13
yofelmeh, I should've asked him to pastebin xsession-errors while he's there19:15
genii-aroundI wonder if he got any error when he tried to chown -R the directory back to himself19:19
genii-around( that he neglected to tell)19:19
george_Ok, here we go again.19:22
george_ls -l /home gives me drwxr-xr-x 84 root root 69632 Fev 22 12:28 george19:22
george_ls -l /home/george shows my folder (Desktop, Documents, etc).19:23
genii-aroundSo how can it be that if you earlier did:   sudo chown -R george:george /home/george     ...that it gave no error?19:23
genii-around( seeing as it's still owned by root )19:24
george_genii-around: honestly I have no idea, I don't understand those stuff, i'm a noob.19:24
genii-aroundgeorge_: At any rate... please reissue the command: sudo chown -R george:george /home/george                .... and let us know if it says anything or just puts you back to command prompt19:25
george_genii-around: ok, i'll try that again... just have to boot again, oh boy.19:26
genii-aroundWhy do you have to keep rebooting?19:26
genii-around( or, what makes you think you need to reboot)19:26
george_genii-around: because I don't have another computer. I'm on my aging, never used, never updated windows 7 partition.19:27
mr-richJust updated 12.04 ... how do I have the password lock screen NOT show up?19:28

ronalds_m"Go to Settings > System Settings > Desktop > Screensaver19:34
ronalds_mYou can turn off the screensaver here, and also disable the password lock for the screensvaer."19:34
george_genni-around: it worked! thank you, I'm using quassel, right know, what a relief, But why it didn't work before19:34
mr-richRephrase: How do I disable the lock screen feature in 12.0.4 latest update?19:34
genii-aroundgeorge_: Most likely you forgot the / in front of "home" or some other typo... but glad to see you are back up and running. Please remember not to use sudo with graphical apps, only with command-line apps, use instead kdesudo with graphical apps19:35
george_genii-around: sure thing. However, something still is not wright.19:36
george_genii-around: Mt home folder is empty19:36
george_genii-around: but when i access via /home/george my data is there.19:36
genii-aroundgeorge_: The "/home" folder does not contain anyone's data. It only contains all the directories which belong to different users. In those separate directories which belong to different users, is where their data is19:37
genii-aroundeg: "/home" is EVERYONE'S home, for their own directory , which in turn is where their specific things are kept19:38
george_i meant my home folder (/home/george)19:39
ronalds_mmr-rich, you mean 12.04.2?19:42

ronalds_mlock19:45
ronalds_mprobably19:45
genii-aroundgeorge_: There are no subdirectories in /home/george like Documents and so on?19:45
george_genii-around: well, when i clicked on places at dolphin it showed an empty folder, but I've add another entry and deleted the old one, so I guess it's ok now?19:45
ronalds_mmine is translated to native, so maybe different path19:45
mr-richronalds_m: want to disable lockscreen password stuff ...19:45
mr-richronalds_m: don' t need it ...19:46
ronalds_mthere is check box19:46
genii-aroundgeorge_: I am unsure what you mean by "added another entry and deleted the old one"19:46
ronalds_mI think it's easy to find it19:47
ronalds_moh wait19:47
ronalds_mI failed19:48
ronalds_mmaybe it's cause there was lockscreen bug and they fixed by removing option19:48
george_genii-around: don't know if it's the same in English, please bear in mind, I'm translating from portuguese. Anyway, right click on places menu in dolphin, and add an entry (shortcut, place, whatever) pointing to /home/george, like the old one that was pointing to the same folder, but showed an empty one.19:48
ronalds_mbut lock is there19:49
ronalds_mprobably ask this question on ubuntu channel19:50
ronalds_mkubuntu is you know for kde and kubuntu mr-rich19:50
mr-richronalds_m: yup ... I think I found something ...19:51
