KodiI have a boot problem of sorts. I was   getting along very well with Kubuntu   for years when I tried installing   Windows 7 into an unallocated 150-  gig-ish partition today. That worked,   but then of course the GRUB bootmenu   was inacessible. I've tried to get it   to show up again with Boot-Repair-  Disk, twice   (http://paste.ubuntu.com/7389880/,   http://paste.ubuntu.com/7389972/), but   not only has this not worked, I ran   GPa00:51
KodiBoot-  Repair-Disk to look at paritions again   and saw that what I thought was my   Kubuntu partition is now listed as   "unallocated". I thought I hadn't   touched it. Any ideas, folks?00:51
KodiI've been fiddling with TestDisk. I'll reboot and hopefully things will be better.01:19

Lac3rat3danyone here for a newb question?03:41
valorieLac3rat3d: ask your question!03:47
DarthFrog!ask03:47
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience03:47
Lac3rat3dok, i have an alias function that runs a program with some arguments. can i prompt for root password somehow inside the function? so only if root password is correct, the program runs, otherwise do nothing.  i don't actually want to run the program as root though, i just want to make sure the person that runs the alias function knows the root pasword03:52
valorieuser: fix your connection!03:54
DarthFrogLac3rat3d: Instead of an alias, write a shell script and have the script ask for the info.04:03

Lac3rat3dwhen i do ls -la, it shows user and group as the same; like Lac3rat3d Lac3rat3d  what does that mean?04:42
akshhii04:44
akshis anyone there04:44
Lac3rat3dif i do: chmod -R 700 /home/Lac3rat3d    would that make everything in my home dir only read/write/executable by my user? and is that bad04:54
akshcan anyone help me on this05:05
valorie!permissions05:33
ubottuAn explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions05:33
valorieLac3rat3d: ^^^05:33
Lac3rat3dI understand what the 700 stands for, I'm more asking for advice05:34
valorieI guess nobody is awake to give you that05:37
Lac3rat3dits okay05:39
Lac3rat3dthanks anyways valorie05:40
Lac3rat3dDoes anyone know why there is a group with the same name as my username?05:40
valoriein general, you have to login as your user to access your /home05:40
Lac3rat3dya, but some folders in /home/username/ have r/w/e permissions for users other than myself05:41
valorieso it should be only r/w/x by your user anyway05:41
valorieShare maybe05:41
Lac3rat3dex: /home/username/Pictures is drwxr-xr-x05:42
Lac3rat3dwhich means users in the group can read and execute, and others can read and execute in that directory, correct?05:42
valoriesome stuff you want applications to be able to read/write/execute05:43
valoriesuch as on your photos or music05:43
valorieeven documents05:43
Lac3rat3dshouldn't the programs be running as my user anyways?05:43
valoriethat depends05:45
* valorie is nooooo expert here05:45
Lac3rat3dneither am i :) just lerning05:45
Lac3rat3d*learning05:45
valoriein general, the way that they are auto-set is correct05:46
valorieand you shouldn't have to mess with them05:46
Lac3rat3dthat's not what i've read05:47
Lac3rat3di've read that ubuntu distro leaves your home directory kinda open by default05:47
valorieno05:47
Lac3rat3dhttp://www.ubuntufieldmanual.com/?q=node/5005:47
valorieI'm not qualified to judge the truth of that05:48
valoriebut all linux distros have an emphasis on safety and security05:48
valorieincluding ubuntu and debian, our upstream05:49
Lac3rat3ddones't necessarily mean they're locked-down out of the box :)05:51
valoriethis might help you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring05:51
valorieof course there are ways to lock them down even more05:52
valorieI was reading about wiretap earlier05:52
valorieno way I will go through all that05:52
valorieI've been using kubuntu for many years with few to no problems05:52
valorienone with security05:53
valorieand I'm online all the time05:53
Lac3rat3di'm not looking to set up a server :P05:53
Lac3rat3djust want to lock down my home directory05:53
geowanythe filesystem are hierachical. so, if you take permission on a directory from a user, he can't access data in this directory, despite other files/folders inside is granted to this user.05:54
geowanydo you wanna try? so, create a dir in /tmp folder, I'll call "apache, "$ sudo mkdir /tmp/apache/", change your permission, "chown www-data:www-data /tmp/apache/ && chmod 770 /tmp/apache/", create other dir "sudo mkdir /tmp/apache/all", give permission for all "sudo chmod 777 /tmp/apache/all", finally, try to access that "all" folder05:57
geowanyyou will gain a beauty "bash: cd: /tmp/apache/all: Permissão negada"05:58
geowanyPermissão negada = permission denied (I'm brazilian)05:59
Lac3rat3dso what you're saying is that if i chmod 700 /home/username, even if /home/username/Pictures is drwxr-xr-x other users can't access it because /home/username/ is drwx------ ?06:00
geowanyOthers users can't access this, despite 755 permissions on folder.06:01
geowanyDo you wanna try? Yes? So, create other user and try to access data.06:01
Lac3rat3di beleive you, just wanted to ask :)06:02
geowanyDon't believe in me. Try! You will learn so much about this.06:03
Lac3rat3dim too lazy to make another user right now lol06:08
valorieIt's always worthwhile to have a alternate user for testing configs, etc.06:09
valoriebut of course that can be done at any time06:09

nekoxmachinaHello everyone! I need a bit of help w/ efibootmgr. I want to install it to boot kernel from /dev/sdb1 (e.g. not first hdd), however when I do --disk /dev/sdb it still tries to boot from first harddrive. Could anyone give me a hand of help?16:04
BluesKajnekoxmachina, go into the uefi/bios and set the boot sequence to the disk that you want to boot first16:07
nekoxmachinaNono, I didn't mean that. I've meant that it boots valid kernel from different disk I wanted.16:08
DarthFrognekoxmachina:  That's ... odd.  Did you install the system on the right disk?16:08
nekoxmachinaWell, efibootmgr claims me this: http://pastie.org/913981816:11
nekoxmachinaIt is generated with efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sdb --part 116:11
nekoxmachinaWhen I try to boot Gentoo (ck) it boots from \boot\efi\bootx64.efi on my sda, which exists & which is similiar kernel (a kludge to boot second system up)16:12

When I expand the width of the panel, though, the icon's don't scale. When the panel is on the top or the bottom of the screen, they do, though. Anybody know what's up with this strange behavior.

ObsequiousNewt_Nah, it's okay; I could just tell by the way you put prepositional phrases between the verb and object. Typically we don't do that. But anyway.21:44

TheFakeazneD525again, muon package manager is great for packages (redundancy is redundant is redundancy)23:46
alan_smithI think muon is broken, sometimes it won't allow me to uninstall a package with no justification: The "libtelepathy-logger3" package could not be marked for installation or upgrade: (blank after the ":")23:46
