| user|14153 | Hola, tengo problemas con mi disco duro y quiero cargar el SO desde una usb, es esto posbile ? | 02:54 |
| user|14153 | Hi, I have problems with my HDD, is possible load the SO from a USB drive ? | 02:55 |
| momoe | Hello all you lovely Kubuntu users, I hope all is well tonight? | 04:34 |
| Sevish | all is peachy | 04:35 |
| momoe | Peachy? Now you got me wanting one | 04:36 |
| momoe | Oh oh oh peach cobbler. | 04:36 |
| momoe | Anywho, I just got this critical error message and wanted to know if anyone can help. http://imgur.com/a/2eFtU | 04:36 |
| momoe | I checked the file and it looks like the permissions have been set to root. Should I set the write permissions to my user somehow? | 04:38 |
| valorie | yes | 04:38 |
| valorie | momoe: chown -R username folder/ | 04:39 |
| valorie | or chown:chown | 04:39 |
| momoe | hmmm okay I'll try that | 04:39 |
| valorie | you may have by mistake run something as root or sudo at some point | 04:40 |
| momoe | It tried "sudo chown -R /home/momoe/.local/share/user-places.xbel" yet it's ownership is still set as root | 04:41 |
| valorie | well, you are using sudo, so yeah | 04:41 |
| valorie | don't use sudo | 04:41 |
| momoe | oh okay | 04:41 |
| momoe | nope no change | 04:42 |
| valorie | weird | 04:42 |
| valorie | !chown | 04:42 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 04:42 |
| valorie | you can try chown:chown as well | 04:42 |
| momoe | hmm, Okay will review that | 04:44 |
| valorie | I've not found it necessary, but usually someone pipes up and suggests it | 04:44 |
| valorie | most of europe isn't online yet though | 04:44 |
| momoe | Really weird, the command went through but nothing was changing the permissions. My solution was to Zip the file, delete the original and restore it with my regular permissions | 04:49 |
| valorie | heh | 04:56 |
| valorie | creative! | 04:56 |
| valorie | every once in awhile I chown my entire home | 04:56 |
| valorie | just in case | 04:56 |
| valorie | sometimes it's instant, because everything is fine | 04:57 |
| valorie | occasionally ripped CDs give me weird permissions | 04:57 |
| momoe | I'll dabble with it in a case by case, but probably I'll go ahead and chown my home folder too eventually. | 05:04 |
| momoe | Side note, stumbled acrossed this article recently https://www.wired.com/2016/05/now-government-wants-hack-cybercrime-victims/ | 05:04 |
| valorie | momoe: off-topic for this chan | 05:10 |
| momoe | true, apologies | 05:10 |

| TomTom | hi any idea when kmail 5.2 will arrive in kubuntu? | 08:45 |
| hateball | TomTom: if you are on 16.04, possibly via backports later on. #kubuntu-devel would know more | 08:46 |
| hateball | I am not sure if KDE Apps 16.08 makes it into kubuntu 16.10, but said channel will know also | 08:46 |
| TomTom | thanks | 08:47 |
| IrcsomeBot | <acheronuk> kmail 5.2.3 is in staging with apps 16.04.3, but can't move it over yet until it's in dev release and some other things for the ppa are sorted | 08:59 |
| user|27970 | hi i have a dual boot of ubuntu and windows i was wondering how will i go about in installing kubuntu | 09:19 |
| hateball | user|27970: you can just run "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" on top of your current installation | 09:20 |
| hateball | bah. | 09:21 |

| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 12:15 |
| momoe | BluesKaj: hi hiiii | 12:23 |
| BluesKaj | hey momoe | 12:23 |
| momoe | How is then land of Kubuntu today? I see clouds in the distance churned up by the storm of 16.10 packaging. | 12:24 |
| momoe | Oh, speaking of which, I did notice something wonky with the screen magification. (Meta_+ key) but it seems to crash desktop effects. | 12:27 |
| Sparkle | hi | 12:30 |
| Sparkle | anyone online? | 12:30 |
| BluesKaj | Sparkle, yes, have a question? | 12:32 |
| BluesKaj | momoe, 16.10 is not loading the desktop for me , X is badly broken despite the kernel | 12:33 |
| BluesKaj | new kernel | 12:33 |
| momoe | Oh that's all kinds of fun | 12:34 |
| BluesKaj | there's a freeze starting tomorrow, but it's already frozen for me :-) | 12:35 |
| Sparkle | is there any tut for dualbooting kubuntu without deleting recovery partition? | 12:38 |
| BluesKaj | Sparkle, assume you mean the windows recovery partition ? | 12:40 |
| momoe | Oh, speaking of the 16.10 LTS rollout, is there any documentation on how to do a clean install, yet preserve the home directory/configurations? (Linux newbie question there) | 12:48 |
| Smurphy | Well, only option is if you have the /home directory mounted to a partition, and you don't format it during clean installation. You just mount it. | 12:51 |
| momoe | That's a thought to consider. | 12:57 |
| Smurphy | That's how I do it. | 12:57 |
| Smurphy | I always do a /home partition. | 12:57 |
| momoe | I'm also considering just tarballing up the home directory and restoring it after a reformat, Since I've accepted the vanilla install. | 12:58 |
| momoe | I'lll set up my home on an independant partition this time | 12:58 |
| Smurphy | That's your Option. Only for the next time, make sure you create a /home partition so next time you don't have to do it. | 12:59 |
| momoe | Good plan, great plan~ | 13:00 |

| viewer|18675 | i wrongly entered with "chmod -700 /. " in my entire system was collapse.all applications are shutdown automatically.then i was restart my computer.system not login.kindly tell What append in my computer & how to recover my system. | 13:38 |
| hateball | viewer|18675: backup any user data, reinstall | 13:41 |
| viewer|18675 | which reinstall? | 13:42 |
| hateball | Your system | 13:42 |
| hateball | Unless you have a backup of your entire system, then restore that | 13:43 |
| viewer|18675 | if any other way for solve that issue? | 13:43 |
| hateball | if you know what permissions every file and folder should have, you can revert the changes with a live-boot | 13:45 |
| viewer|18675 | what append to my system?Why the act like that? kindly tell the reason? | 13:45 |
| rattking | I wonder if you forced a reinstall of every package if it would reset the permissions | 13:46 |
| hateball | viewer|18675: also, did you use "chmod -R" or only chmod ? | 13:46 |
| viewer|18675 | if the possible to reverse the action? | 13:47 |
| hateball | No, there is no undo | 13:47 |
| hateball | There is only "set the correct permissions again" | 13:47 |
| hateball | Which requires you to know what they are | 13:47 |
| viewer|18675 | only chmod | 13:47 |
| hateball | viewer|18675: do you have access to the system so can mount the filesystem with a live-boot? | 13:48 |
| hateball | *most* folders are 755 and most files are 644, but there's really no way to know, we have no idea what packages you had installed etc | 13:49 |
| viewer|18675 | apache | 13:50 |
| hateball | viewer|18675: You still havent answered if you have access to the system in some fashion | 13:51 |
| hateball | viewer|18675: Can you boot in recovery mode? | 13:51 |
| viewer|18675 | why type of critical cmd allowed without any permission ? its not show any error and warning. | 13:52 |
| viewer|18675 | simply running my entire system was collapse | 13:53 |
| hateball | viewer|18675: did you run with sudo/root ? | 13:54 |
| viewer|18675 | sudo not work | 13:54 |
| hateball | Running such commands as root kind of assumes you know what you're doing | 13:54 |
| viewer|18675 | not | 13:54 |
| hateball | A regular user can *not* make the system broken with chmod | 13:55 |
| viewer|18675 | simple type with chmod only | 13:55 |
| hateball | Well, I give up. Good luck. | 13:57 |
| viewer|18675 | i know am beginner of linx.but the this type of important cmd at the time of excution with some restriction or error msg ,warning msg.its my request | 13:58 |
| hateball | I am telling you it is impossible to make the system unbootable as a regular user. You must have used sudo/root to chmod | 13:59 |
| hateball | If you break things for your regular user with chmod, you can still reboot in single (recovery mode) and fix that users permissions | 13:59 |
| viewer|18675 | i Know.But improve with warning or error messages for this type important cmds | 14:05 |
| hateball | I'd argue that you should read about what commands you run and understand what they do | 14:06 |
| hateball | Rather than copy from the internet and hope for the best | 14:07 |

| claycorn | so whats wrong | 16:32 |
| claycorn | what should i do | 16:32 |
| DarthFrog | My computer is making ding notifications noises and I have no clue what they notify. | 17:04 |
| DarthFrog | There is nothing other than a "ding". Can you think of a way I can find out what they signify? | 17:04 |
| DarthFrog | I'm running Firefox, Thunderbird, Steam and Konversation. | 17:05 |
| BluesKaj_ | DarthFrog, is it beep code ? | 17:18 |
| DarthFrog | Nope. Just a single ding sound. | 17:19 |
| BluesKaj_ | so it comes from the sound system and not the internal speaker? | 17:20 |
| DarthFrog | Right. | 17:21 |
| BluesKaj_ | i have those notifier sounds turned off, but never heard a ding sound when it was active | 17:22 |
| BluesKaj_ | that's a new one on me | 17:22 |
| DarthFrog | I should check that I have system notification sounds turned off. Maybe that'll get rid of it. | 17:25 |
| BluesKaj_ | yeah, i find them annoying | 17:26 |
