[01:52] guys! [02:01] anantmishra: ? [02:54] Hola, tengo problemas con mi disco duro y quiero cargar el SO desde una usb, es esto posbile ? [02:55] Hi, I have problems with my HDD, is possible load the SO from a USB drive ? [04:34] Hello all you lovely Kubuntu users, I hope all is well tonight? [04:35] all is peachy [04:36] Peachy? Now you got me wanting one [04:36] Oh oh oh peach cobbler. [04:36] Anywho, I just got this critical error message and wanted to know if anyone can help. http://imgur.com/a/2eFtU [04:38] 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] yes [04:39] momoe: chown -R username folder/ [04:39] or chown:chown [04:39] hmmm okay I'll try that [04:40] you may have by mistake run something as root or sudo at some point [04:41] It tried "sudo chown -R /home/momoe/.local/share/user-places.xbel" yet it's ownership is still set as root [04:41] well, you are using sudo, so yeah [04:41] don't use sudo [04:41] oh okay [04:42] nope no change [04:42] weird [04:42] !chown [04:42] 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] you can try chown:chown as well [04:44] hmm, Okay will review that [04:44] I've not found it necessary, but usually someone pipes up and suggests it [04:44] most of europe isn't online yet though [04:49] 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 [04:56] heh [04:56] creative! [04:56] every once in awhile I chown my entire home [04:56] just in case [04:57] sometimes it's instant, because everything is fine [04:57] occasionally ripped CDs give me weird permissions [05:04] 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] Side note, stumbled acrossed this article recently https://www.wired.com/2016/05/now-government-wants-hack-cybercrime-victims/ [05:10] momoe: off-topic for this chan [05:10] true, apologies === cpaelzer_ is now known as cpaelzer === struk|desk2 is now known as struk|desk [08:14] sdf [08:14] asfasdf [08:23] http://i.imgur.com/yerUlDF.mp4 === frvdamme is now known as FrankVD [08:45] hi any idea when kmail 5.2 will arrive in kubuntu? [08:46] TomTom: if you are on 16.04, possibly via backports later on. #kubuntu-devel would know more [08:46] I am not sure if KDE Apps 16.08 makes it into kubuntu 16.10, but said channel will know also [08:47] thanks [08:59] 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 [09:19] hi i have a dual boot of ubuntu and windows i was wondering how will i go about in installing kubuntu [09:20] user|27970: you can just run "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" on top of your current installation [09:21] bah. === devil is now known as Guest53610 === devil is now known as Guest86928 [12:15] Hiyas all [12:23] BluesKaj: hi hiiii [12:23] hey momoe [12:24] How is then land of Kubuntu today? I see clouds in the distance churned up by the storm of 16.10 packaging. [12:27] Oh, speaking of which, I did notice something wonky with the screen magification. (Meta_+ key) but it seems to crash desktop effects. [12:30] hi [12:30] anyone online? [12:32] Sparkle, yes, have a question? [12:33] momoe, 16.10 is not loading the desktop for me , X is badly broken despite the kernel [12:33] new kernel [12:34] Oh that's all kinds of fun [12:35] there's a freeze starting tomorrow, but it's already frozen for me :-) [12:38] is there any tut for dualbooting kubuntu without deleting recovery partition? [12:40] Sparkle, assume you mean the windows recovery partition ? [12:48] 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) [12:51] 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. [12:57] That's a thought to consider. [12:57] That's how I do it. [12:57] I always do a /home partition. [12:58] 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] I'lll set up my home on an independant partition this time [12:59] 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. [13:00] Good plan, great plan~ === mgolden is now known as mgolden_ [13:38] 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. [13:41] viewer|18675: backup any user data, reinstall [13:42] which reinstall? [13:42] Your system [13:43] Unless you have a backup of your entire system, then restore that [13:43] if any other way for solve that issue? [13:45] if you know what permissions every file and folder should have, you can revert the changes with a live-boot [13:45] what append to my system?Why the act like that? kindly tell the reason? [13:46] I wonder if you forced a reinstall of every package if it would reset the permissions [13:46] viewer|18675: also, did you use "chmod -R" or only chmod ? [13:47] if the possible to reverse the action? [13:47] No, there is no undo [13:47] There is only "set the correct permissions again" [13:47] Which requires you to know what they are [13:47] only chmod [13:48] viewer|18675: do you have access to the system so can mount the filesystem with a live-boot? [13:49] *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 [13:50] apache [13:51] viewer|18675: You still havent answered if you have access to the system in some fashion [13:51] viewer|18675: Can you boot in recovery mode? [13:52] why type of critical cmd allowed without any permission ? its not show any error and warning. [13:53] simply running my entire system was collapse [13:54] viewer|18675: did you run with sudo/root ? [13:54] sudo not work [13:54] Running such commands as root kind of assumes you know what you're doing [13:54] not [13:55] A regular user can *not* make the system broken with chmod [13:55] simple type with chmod only [13:57] Well, I give up. Good luck. [13:58] 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 [13:59] 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] If you break things for your regular user with chmod, you can still reboot in single (recovery mode) and fix that users permissions [14:05] i Know.But improve with warning or error messages for this type important cmds [14:06] I'd argue that you should read about what commands you run and understand what they do [14:07] Rather than copy from the internet and hope for the best === devil is now known as Guest56212 === thomas_ is now known as Guest7655 === Lelouch is now known as Guest77050 [15:31] hi [15:32] i have a question [15:35] ask away , claycorn [15:37] i have a memory issue i boot my laptop it says i have 3 gigs of ram but on my desktop it says i have 740 megs of ra, [15:38] ram [15:40] What does: sudo lshw -C memory ..report?

[16:32] so whats wrong [16:32] what should i do [17:04] My computer is making ding notifications noises and I have no clue what they notify. [17:04] There is nothing other than a "ding". Can you think of a way I can find out what they signify? [17:05] I'm running Firefox, Thunderbird, Steam and Konversation. [17:18] DarthFrog, is it beep code ? [17:19] Nope. Just a single ding sound. [17:20] so it comes from the sound system and not the internal speaker? [17:21] Right. [17:22] i have those notifier sounds turned off, but never heard a ding sound when it was active [17:22] that's a new one on me [17:25] I should check that I have system notification sounds turned off. Maybe that'll get rid of it. [17:26] yeah, i find them annoying === kubuntu is now known as Guest94255 === sheedy-away is now known as sheedy [19:00] Kubuntu Podcast #16 is live now.
