| xubuntu83w | Hello. Can somebody help me? I have problems with my root drive that is around 20 gb. It sais that is 99% full. I tried to delete something that had 160mb, and after 1 minute i checked, and now again, i have only .2 mb empty space | 06:38 |
|---|---|---|
| mks1945 | xubuntu83w: show output du -hs /var/log | 06:58 |
| xubuntu83w | I tried to write this message on console, but i received this message: du: cannot read directory ‘/var/log/speech-dispatcher’: Permission denied du: cannot read directory ‘/var/log/samba/cores’: Permission denied 9.5M/var/log | 07:03 |
| xubuntu83w | I tried to write this command, sorry | 07:04 |
| xubuntu83w | Ok, i used terminal to autoclean, and i have 389 mb empty. I tried this sudo du -h /var/log, and the results are: 908K/var/log/installer 4.0K/var/log/speech-dispatcher 224K/var/log/apt 4.0K/var/log/samba/cores/nmbd 4.0K/var/log/samba/cores/winbindd 4.0K/var/log/samba/cores/smbd 16K/var/log/samba/cores 44K/var/log/samba 16K/var/log/cups 4.0K/var/log/unattended-upgrades 12K/var/log/fsck 700K/var/log/upstart 4.0K/var/l | 07:34 |

| knome | xubuntu83w, it's likely something else that is your problem than those files | 07:35 |
| knome | at least, the real problem... | 07:36 |
| xubuntu83w | And what can i try to detect it? | 07:58 |
| mks1945 | xubuntu83w: i had same problem (i.e. del files but no free space changed). After reboot (or restart syslog) all was fine | 08:02 |
| knome | xubuntu83w, i would start with "sudo du -h --max-depth 1 /" | 08:03 |
| knome | xubuntu83w, then see what takes the most space in there | 08:04 |
| xubuntu83w | I tried this: | 08:05 |
| xubuntu83w | sudo du -h --max-depth 1 / 14M/etc du: cannot access ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied 1.7M/run du: cannot access ‘/proc/3777/task/3777/fd/4’: No such file or directory du: cannot access ‘/proc/3777/task/3777/fdinfo/4’: No such file or directory du: cannot access ‘/proc/3777/fd/4’: No such file or directory du: cannot access ‘/proc/3777/fdinfo/4’: No such file or directory 0/proc 152M/opt 8.0K/medi | 08:05 |

| xubuntu83w | Sure | 08:06 |
| xubuntu83w | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11908051/ | 08:07 |
| knome | xubuntu83w, ok, you are sharing /home with / | 08:07 |
| knome | that takes 13G of the 20G, so you should look what you can remove from your /home | 08:08 |
| xubuntu83w | Is this normal? To share /home with / ? | 08:09 |
| knome | yes, it's "normal" | 08:09 |
| xubuntu83w | I installed the Xubuntu normally, not with dual boot, only automatic installation, not with manual steps | 08:10 |
| xubuntu83w | The problem is that i don"t have personal files on the drive | 08:13 |
| xubuntu83w | And i don't know what to delete | 08:13 |
| knome | what does "du -h --max-depth 1 /home/YOURUSER/" say? | 08:14 |
| xubuntu83w | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11908072/ | 08:16 |
| knome | ok... i guess you have a large imap folder which you have just synced to your HD | 08:16 |
| knome | is that correct? | 08:16 |
| mks1945 | xubuntu83w: /home/radu/.thunderbird compact folders | 08:16 |
| xubuntu83w | Yes, this is true | 08:18 |
| xubuntu83w | But in /home/radu i don't have this thunderbird folder | 08:19 |
| knome | yes you do, it's a hidden directory | 08:20 |
| mks1945 | xubuntu83w: press CTRL+H in thunar | 08:20 |
| knome | mks1945, ...i'll let you continue from here then | 08:21 |
| mks1945 | xubuntu83w: open thunderbird delete old mals (and clean Trash), then go menu "File" then "Compress folders" | 08:23 |
| xubuntu44w | Sorry, my chat disconnected. This was the problem, .thunderbird had around 14gb, i deleted it and now is ok | 08:31 |
| mks1945 | congratilations!!!!! ^) | 08:36 |
| xubuntu91w | My /dev/sda3 comes up as read only for root. How do I give users group read and write access? | 09:03 |
| knome | where is that partition mounted at? | 09:06 |
| xubuntu91w | how do I see that? | 09:07 |
| knome | mount | 09:07 |
| xubuntu91w | Its mounted on /dev/sda3 on /media/michelle/data type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks2) | 09:09 |
| xubuntu91w | in Thunar it comes up as root only read and write | 09:09 |
| xubuntu71w | I am unable to gain read write access to sda3, it shows as root only. Mount gives this../dev/sda3 on /media/michelle/data type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks2) | 09:17 |
| xubuntu71w | unable to copy and paste into it | 09:18 |
| xubuntu71w | Suggestions? | 09:19 |
| mks1945 | users must be in "plugdev" group. type "id" from user | 09:19 |
| xubuntu71w | user ID is 1000 | 09:20 |
| mks1945 | no, "id" is command | 09:21 |
| mks1945 | in terminal type id (from user) | 09:21 |
| xubuntu71w | user shows as member of plugdev group | 09:21 |
| xubuntu71w | I installed Xubuntu on entire disk. Then used Gpart to shrink disk to create second primary disk for data storage. Now the data partition is only root read only. | 09:23 |
| mks1945 | ok 1min please | 09:24 |
| mks1945 | show your /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks2.policy (use pastebin) | 09:26 |
| cfhowlett | !permissions | xubuntu71w | 09:27 |
| ubottu | xubuntu71w: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 09:27 |

| xubuntu71w | sda3 | 09:30 |
| xubuntu71w | Is there not a command that gives read/write permissions for single user to sda3? | 09:31 |
| xubuntu71w | sudo chown perhaps | 09:34 |
| cfhowlett | indeed | 09:35 |
| mks1945 | check your /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks2.policy http://pastebin.com/8Y5JtudJ see lines 71-74 and 136-138 | 09:35 |
| xubuntu71w | That makes no sense to me. | 09:40 |
| mks1945 | make reboot | 09:41 |
| mks1945 | it works 100% | 09:41 |
| xubuntu71w | "umount /media/sda3 chown user:user /media/sda3 mount -va" | 09:42 |

| Ozbrk | Hi guys I found a linux unfriendly wierless card (in 2015 yes this is not a joke) so how can I report the card to the developers team? | 11:15 |
| knome | the developer team does not take submissions of that kind | 11:16 |
| knome | please report to the manufacturer | 11:16 |
| Ozbrk | Ok thanks | 11:16 |
| knome | you can also try to file a bug against the drivers that should (whatever that means...) handle your card and see if the developers for that driver had any insight on it - or were willing to make it work | 11:16 |
| Ozbrk | I don't even know how can I founs something like that dven the oldest wierless cards are workinv without the ndiswrapper today | 11:18 |
| mks1945 | what is the card? just interesting | 11:19 |
| Ozbrk | Tp Link TL-WN727N | 11:21 |
| Ozbrk | Accutaly a usb wierless adapter | 11:21 |

| Ozbrk | Wow never seen that that means there is a spessific installation methot for this wierless card isn't it | 11:36 |
| mks1945 | I agree, it is perversion :) | 11:38 |
| rj_ | hello I have a simple problem to which i am unable to find the solution. so help me if you can | 12:58 |
| rj_ | My scandisk PenDrive has turned read only | 12:59 |
| rj_ | i tried formatting it from terminal didn't work. i tried (-type f -exec chmod 666 {} \;) as suggest in one forum didnt work and i even tried dosfsck -a | 13:01 |
| rj_ | non worked | 13:02 |
| holstein | rj_: well, the device could be failing, so, i wouldnt dismiss that as an option.. what is the error when you try and make the device writeable? | 13:03 |
| holstein | is it fat32? | 13:04 |
| rj_ | yes | 13:15 |
| rj_ | sudo parted -l gives this | 13:16 |
| rj_ | http://imgur.com/4EN6u6w | 13:16 |
| holstein | rj_: i think your command is overly complex | 13:20 |
| holstein | rj_: i would simply try, in a terminal, mounting to a mount point, and chowning the directory.. i would confim path's, and use the entire path in the command, and share errors | 13:20 |
| holstein | when it gets slow here, i would use #ubuntu for support related to it, since, its not related to xubuntu or xfce directly | 13:21 |
| rj_ | can you guide me as a laymen | 13:21 |
| holstein | https://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2012/06/07/ubuntu-hardware-permissions-how-to-set-ownership-of-drive-or-partition-internal-external-hard-disks/ | 13:22 |
| rj_ | i am not new to the whole linux as os | 13:22 |
| rj_ | srry i am new is wht i meant | 13:22 |
| holstein | rj_: you should be able to simply right click, and set permissions.. i do not know what is wrong in your particular setup | 13:22 |
| rj_ | yes i tried that to | 13:23 |
| rj_ | but after i close the gui | 13:23 |
| holstein | sudo chown -R myusername:myusername '/path/to/location' | 13:23 |
| rj_ | it reverts back and no permission change is applied | 13:23 |
| rj_ | thus i tried terminal | 13:23 |
| holstein | rj_: thats a different issue, completely. you state, you *cannot* set permissions.. you are simply trying to make them persistent, then? | 13:24 |
| rj_ | ok to put it simply | 13:25 |
| rj_ | i m trying to make my usb pendrive usb pendrive again | 13:25 |
| holstein | rj_: thats unclear, to me, as well | 13:25 |
| rj_ | i dont know how but somehow it turned to read only access | 13:25 |
| holstein | rj_: that can be due to breakage. so, the actual physical device can be, and *will* fail, eventually | 13:25 |
| rj_ | i can still read the files inside | 13:26 |
| holstein | i would test, and confirm that its not breaking.. and backup the device.. i would backup, and move the data, and repartition it.. | 13:26 |
| rj_ | just not able to make changes | 13:26 |
| rj_ | ok so how would i go about that. to check if its breaking. and try repair it | 13:27 |
| rj_ | if at all possible | 13:27 |
| holstein | rj_: ? as i said, i would backup, and move the data, and re-partition, and test.. | 13:27 |
| holstein | rj_: you cant "repair" if its phyiscally broken.. and im not saying it is.. im just stating, that they all will break, and thats a possibility, that i have seen, personally, cause odd issues like that | 13:28 |
| rj_ | i understand that things break over time | 13:29 |
| rj_ | n it maybe the case | 13:29 |
| rj_ | but it has not undergone any physical activity that can damage it except moving from my one drawer to other. | 13:30 |
| rj_ | what i think might have cause this is | 13:30 |
| rj_ | last week i made it a bootable drive for trying out ubuntu on my laptop suing startup disc creator | 13:31 |
| holstein | rj_: sure. and thats all i suggest that you address.. is that, you "think", and dont know. *all* drives will fail, and its not in any way obvious what will/can cause the failure | 13:31 |
| holstein | rj_: what would i do? again, friend.. simply backup the data.. properly back it up where you feel "safe" about the copies, etc.. wipe the drive, and reformat.. | 13:32 |
| rj_ | and after i was done. as there is no direct right click format option in ubuntu as windows, i just opend the drive and shift deleted all | 13:32 |
| holstein | rj_: if you broke the structure, trying to implement a feature, you will need to repair it | 13:32 |
| rj_ | copied some movie and this is where we are now. its showing error after a week. | 13:33 |
| rj_ | i do not care about the data inside it my friend. i just want to be able to use it as normal again. | 13:34 |
| rj_ | so that is what i was asking. | 13:34 |
| holstein | rj_: sure.. simply backup *all* data, and reformat | 13:34 |
| rj_ | how would i go about repairing it if possible | 13:34 |
| rj_ | i am unable to format it from terminal | 13:34 |
| holstein | rj_: again, friend.. you will backup the data, and reformat | 13:34 |
| holstein | rj_: please use gparted GUI, and share any errors, so that a volunteer can assist.. | 13:35 |
| cfhowlett | rj_, fdisk if no gui | 13:35 |
| rj_ | ok i will try gpart now. earlier i tried to format from terminal using mkfs.vfat -n 'name' -I /dev/sdb1 | 13:37 |
| rj_ | which did not work | 13:37 |
| cfhowlett | rj_, do it again with | pastebin then share the url | 13:38 |
| rj_ | it said mkfs.vfat: unable to open /dev/sdb1: read-only file system | 13:38 |

| WyRe | hi guys! :D how could i enable suspend when system is idle while screen is locked? | 18:07 |
| WyRe | i'm managing power trought logind.conf in systemd but when screen is locked the system cannot go to suspend (after idle time) | 18:08 |
| WyRe | should i configure policy rules or something' | 18:08 |
| WyRe | ? | 18:08 |
| WyRe | xfce4-power-manager is ignored, because i should use logind.conf | 18:09 |
| nomic | turn off screen lock | 18:10 |
| nomic | screen lock locks everything out | 18:10 |
| nomic | not sure | 18:10 |
| WyRe | nomic, i want screen lock :( | 18:10 |
| nomic | shy do you need screen lock | 18:10 |
| nomic | ok | 18:10 |
| nomic | suspend, you're effectively logged out | 18:11 |
| nomic | not sure it's possible | 18:11 |
| nomic | you're going to have to login then suspend | 18:11 |
| nomic | each time | 18:11 |
| nomic | just 1 more operation | 18:11 |
| nomic | also you check your mail :) | 18:11 |
| WyRe | nomic, some time ago i do that editing policy rules , ... but i not remember how | 18:12 |
| nomic | maybe its logged on ubuntu forums | 18:13 |
| nomic | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2239861&highlight=suspend+screen+lock+policy+rules | 18:14 |
| nomic | "Update 17-8-'14: | 18:14 |
| nomic | I managed to get suspend working from the lock screen by editing /etc/systemd/logind.conf and un-commenting and changing minutes: | 18:14 |
| nomic | IdleAction=suspend | 18:14 |
| nomic | IdleActionSec=15min | 18:14 |
| nomic | " | 18:14 |
| nomic | ahve entered "suspend lock screen policy rules" into ubuntu forum search | 18:14 |
| WyRe | nomic, yes, that's topic .. :D suspending while screen is locked xD | 18:15 |
| nomic | well he has a fix there ^ | 18:15 |
| WyRe | nomic, i have already make my power setup in logind.conf :D | 18:16 |
| WyRe | but i need when screen is locked the system go suspend :P | 18:16 |
| nomic | ask on #ubuntu .. is more busy | 18:19 |
| WyRe | :D | 18:19 |
| nomic | also ask by posting a question on ubuntu forums | 18:19 |
| nomic | so people work on your problem while you are asleep (or suspended) ... make sure you post it to the right place in forums (gui desktop xubuntu etc) | 18:19 |
| nomic | xfce | 18:20 |
| WyRe | nomic, and... why xfce4-power-manager is ignored? :( | 18:22 |
| WyRe | and how change i between logind.conf managin or xfce4-power-manager? | 18:22 |
| nomic | further than i've ever looked | 18:23 |
| nomic | logind = detailed settings | 18:23 |
| WyRe | nomic, i think that i have this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1307545 | 18:44 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1307545 in light-locker (Ubuntu) "Power Manager settings are ignored when closing laptop lid" [Undecided,Fix released] | 18:44 |
| WyRe | but muy power manager is ignored always :( | 18:45 |
| nomic | any problems on xubuntu are 'ubuntu' - ask in #ubuntu its busier there | 18:47 |
| knome | WyRe, then it's likely not that bug | 18:47 |
| knome | nomic, except things related to eg. xfce4-power-manager, which are xubuntu-specific | 18:48 |
| WyRe | knome, but... why my xfce4-power-manager is ignored always then? | 18:49 |
| knome | WyRe, i don't have the answer | 18:49 |
| knome | that bug happens on very specific situations, so it's likely to be a different bug than yours if your settings are always ignored | 18:50 |
| WyRe | knome, well... i am trying a workaround using logind.conf | 18:51 |
| WyRe | of systemd | 18:51 |
| WyRe | but now i need enable suspend feature while screen is locked | 18:52 |
| knome | good luck. | 18:52 |
| WyRe | knome, why good luck? xD | 18:52 |
| knome | why not? | 18:52 |
| knome | i hope you get your issue fixed, that's all | 18:52 |
| WyRe | ah ok ... i thought u was sarcastic xD | 18:53 |
| knome | that said, i don't know if logind is the way to go, but i don't know better either, so, good luck with that effort | 18:53 |
| knome | would i ever be sarcastic? | 18:53 |
| knome | (but no, i wasn't this time) | 18:53 |
| WyRe | so much thanks :D | 18:54 |
| WyRe | knome, there is some way to alternate between logind.conf and xfce4-power-manager? | 18:54 |
| knome | i don't know | 18:55 |
| w30 | Does anyone know a way to keep a particular user off the user list on the login gui ? lightdm I think it is | 21:04 |
| genii | Yes, for all users except Guest | 21:12 |
| w30 | genii, ahah, I found it /etc/lightdm/users.conf | 21:15 |
| ValziNET | Hey! :) | 21:37 |
