[02:54] <user|14153> Hola, tengo problemas con mi disco duro y quiero cargar el SO desde una usb, es esto posbile ?
[02:55] <user|14153> Hi, I have problems with my HDD, is possible load the SO from a USB drive ?
[04:34] <momoe> Hello all you lovely Kubuntu users, I hope all is well tonight?
[04:35] <Sevish> all is peachy
[04:36] <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
[04:38] <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
[04:39] <valorie> momoe: chown -R username folder/
[04:39] <valorie> or chown:chown
[04:39] <momoe> hmmm okay I'll try that
[04:40] <valorie> you may have by mistake run something as root or sudo at some point
[04:41] <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
[04:42] <momoe> nope no change
[04:42] <valorie> weird
[04:42] <valorie> !chown
[04:42] <valorie> you can try chown:chown as well
[04:44] <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
[04:49] <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
[04:56] <valorie> heh
[04:56] <valorie> creative!
[04:56] <valorie> every once in awhile I chown my entire home
[04:56] <valorie> just in case
[04:57] <valorie> sometimes it's instant, because everything is fine
[04:57] <valorie> occasionally ripped CDs give me weird permissions
[05:04] <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/
[05:10] <valorie> momoe: off-topic for this chan
[05:10] <momoe> true, apologies

[08:45] <TomTom> hi any idea when kmail 5.2 will arrive in kubuntu?
[08:46] <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
[08:47] <TomTom> thanks
 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] <user|27970> hi i have a dual boot of ubuntu and windows i was wondering how will i go about in installing kubuntu
[09:20] <hateball> user|27970: you can just run "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" on top of your current installation
[09:21] <hateball> bah.
[12:15] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:23] <momoe> BluesKaj: hi hiiii
[12:23] <BluesKaj> hey momoe
[12:24] <momoe> How is then land of Kubuntu today? I see clouds in the distance churned up by the storm of 16.10 packaging.
[12:27] <momoe> Oh, speaking of which, I did notice something wonky with the screen magification. (Meta_+ key) but it seems to crash desktop effects.
[12:30] <Sparkle> hi
[12:30] <Sparkle> anyone online?
[12:32] <BluesKaj> Sparkle, yes, have a question?
[12:33] <BluesKaj> momoe, 16.10 is not loading the desktop for me , X is badly broken despite the kernel
[12:33] <BluesKaj> new kernel
[12:34] <momoe> Oh that's all kinds of fun
[12:35] <BluesKaj> there's a freeze starting tomorrow, but it's already frozen for me :-)
[12:38] <Sparkle> is there any tut for dualbooting kubuntu without deleting recovery partition?
[12:40] <BluesKaj> Sparkle, assume you mean the windows recovery partition ?
[12:48] <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)
[12:51] <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.
[12:57] <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.
[12:58] <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
[12:59] <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.
[13:00] <momoe> Good plan, great plan~
[13:38] <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.
[13:41] <hateball> viewer|18675: backup any user data, reinstall
[13:42] <viewer|18675> which reinstall?
[13:42] <hateball> Your system
[13:43] <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?
[13:45] <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?
[13:46] <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 ?
[13:47] <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
[13:48] <hateball> viewer|18675: do you have access to the system so can mount the filesystem with a live-boot?
[13:49] <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
[13:50] <viewer|18675> apache
[13:51] <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?
[13:52] <viewer|18675> why type of critical cmd allowed without any permission ? its not show any error and warning.
[13:53] <viewer|18675> simply running my entire system was collapse
[13:54] <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
[13:55] <hateball> A regular user can *not* make the system broken with chmod
[13:55] <viewer|18675> simple type with chmod only
[13:57] <hateball> Well, I give up. Good luck.
[13:58] <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
[13:59] <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
[14:05] <viewer|18675> i Know.But improve with warning or error messages for this type important cmds
[14:06] <hateball> I'd argue that you should read about what commands you run and understand what they do
[14:07] <hateball> Rather than copy from the internet and hope for the best
[15:31] <claycorn> hi

[16:32] <claycorn> so  whats wrong
[16:32] <claycorn> what should i do
[17:04] <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?
[17:05] <DarthFrog> I'm running Firefox, Thunderbird, Steam and Konversation.
[17:18] <BluesKaj_> DarthFrog, is it beep code ?
[17:19] <DarthFrog> Nope.  Just a single ding sound.
[17:20] <BluesKaj_> so it comes from the sound system and not the internal speaker?
[17:21] <DarthFrog> Right.
[17:22] <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
[17:25] <DarthFrog> I should check that I have system notification sounds turned off.  Maybe that'll get rid of it.
[17:26] <BluesKaj_> yeah, i find them annoying
