| Guest74287 | I have just joinedd the beutiful world of linux and I am very happy. Though I need some assistance. I have a dell laptop. All multimedia keys work except brightness multimedia keys. | 03:30 |
| Guest74287 | I hope if anyone of you can help me. | 03:30 |
| ren | Hello, I cannot copy anything to my USB anymore. The problem doesn't exist with another distribution so it is not related to my USB drives. | 04:44 |
| ren | I'd like to do a backup of all my files but now I am cannot copy or move any of my files. Not sure what causes this problem and hope anyone could help out. | 04:49 |
| alkisg | ren: what's the output of: sudo fdisk -l | nc termbin.com 9999 | 06:08 |
| ren | http://termbin.com/im8w | 06:12 |
| alkisg | ren: when you ran that command, did you have the usb stick inserted? | 06:14 |
| ren | no, i try again with usb inserted | 06:14 |
| ren | http://termbin.com/8xpe | 06:16 |
| alkisg | OK, now what's the output of this? grep sdb /proc/mounts | 06:17 |
| ren | it doesn't show here in hexchat.. | 06:18 |
| alkisg | OK, now run this: udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb1 | 06:19 |
| ren | i cannot paste it | 06:19 |
| alkisg | What was the output of that? | 06:19 |
| ren | Error mounting /dev/sdb1: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.AlreadyMounted: Device /dev/sdb1 is already mounted at `/media/martin/D9DC-0B6B'. | 06:19 |
| alkisg | OK, now run this: caja /media/martin/D9DC-0B6B | 06:20 |
| alkisg | A window should appear with your stick contents | 06:20 |
| ren | yes | 06:20 |
| alkisg | So it doesn't appear that anything is wrong with your stick or its mounting | 06:21 |
| alkisg | We didn't do anything at all, we just checked where it was mounted | 06:21 |
| ren | mhm yeah | 06:21 |
| ren | i see | 06:21 |
| ren | i can tell you what i did the day before | 06:21 |
| ren | maybe it helps to reconstruct what went wrong | 06:21 |
| ren | https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/how-to-run-eset-nod32-for-linux-in-ubuntu-mate-16-04-or-16-10/9733 | 06:22 |
| ren | I tried to install ESET and make the file executable by enabling it in the context menu properties | 06:23 |
| ren | the installer appeared but it didn't proceed and another window appeared along with it and "recommended" to install something related to PyPar2 which I did (without knowing what it is) | 06:24 |
| ren | that two things were missing on the system related to PyPar2 | 06:24 |
| ren | so I installed that and it seems as a result of this, I cannot copy any files to USBs anymore | 06:25 |
| alkisg | Can you copy files using that window that just opened? | 06:25 |
| ren | no, it says: error while copying to "D9DC-0B6B". The destination is read-only. | 06:27 |
| ren | this happens to all USB drives I insert | 06:27 |
| alkisg | OK let's try this: | 06:27 |
| alkisg | sudo umount /dev/sdb1 | 06:27 |
| ren | and all of these work without problems in another distro | 06:27 |
| alkisg | sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt | 06:27 |
| alkisg | sudo touch /mnt/test | 06:28 |
| alkisg | What's the output of these commands? | 06:28 |
| alkisg | and sudo umount /dev/sdb1 | 06:28 |
| ren | all of them produce no output at all, also no error messages | 06:29 |
| alkisg | Then you just wrote a file called test to the usb stick | 06:29 |
| alkisg | So it's not read only | 06:29 |
| ren | oh i see, nice | 06:30 |
| ren | in caja: if i go to properties > permissions | 06:30 |
| ren | file access is set to: -- | 06:31 |
| ren | for all groups, owner, group and others | 06:31 |
| alkisg | That's because fat32 doesn't support permissions | 06:31 |
| ren | and i cannot change it | 06:31 |
| alkisg | It's a windows file system, not the linux one, ext4. | 06:31 |
| alkisg | (actually, a dos file system) | 06:31 |
| ren | but yesterday I was still able to copy files to this USB | 06:32 |
| ren | in fact, none of my USB - even those formatted with other file systems, don't allow copying to it from caja | 06:33 |
| ren | i just tried the same USB in another distro, and i can copy files onto it | 06:34 |
| ren | because the permissions allow writing access | 06:34 |
| ren | so it seems to me a problem with caja | 06:35 |
| ren | not sure what I can do now | 06:35 |
| ren | somehow the default settings of caja were overwritten by what I did yesterday | 06:36 |
| ren | do you have any other idea what I could do to get the default caja settings back? | 06:41 |
| alkisg | ren, if eset puts udev rules to change the mount permissions, then you need to uninstall eset | 06:51 |
| alkisg | If you don't know how to do that, contact the eset company | 06:51 |
| alkisg | To see the mount options, it's that "grep sdb /proc/mounts" command that I said in the beginning | 06:51 |
| alkisg | You can compare that with e.g. another distro, or an ubuntu live cd | 06:52 |
| ren | the problem is that eset is not even installed | 06:52 |
| alkisg | It did get a chance to mess up your system, didn't it? | 06:53 |
| alkisg | Try this: | 06:53 |
| ren | i am not sure if it was eset, i rather think it is the stuff i installed later | 06:53 |
| ren | the pypar2 thing | 06:53 |
| alkisg | I can't imagine why a compression library would mess with mount options | 06:54 |
| ren | I just checked some of my folders like documents, downloads, etc. (not on usb) | 06:57 |
| ren | and properties shows that the permissions options are globally changed | 06:57 |
| ren | no file access under owner, group, others | 06:57 |
| ren | so it seems that it looks like the eset installation "hangs" | 06:58 |
| ren | and keeps "allow executing file as program" active, thereby preventing any file access | 06:58 |
| alkisg | You mean that you cannot write files to your desktop? | 06:58 |
| ren | I can, but the context menus of properties strangely all show "--" for file access | 06:59 |
| ren | and the "allow executing file as program" is active in all folders | 07:01 |
| alkisg | All these are normal | 07:02 |
| alkisg | Directories have the "x" bit set because it means "allow users to see their contents", it's not related to execution | 07:02 |
| alkisg | ren, remove your usb stick, then insert it again, then type this: | 07:03 |
| alkisg | cat /proc/mounts | nc termbin.com 9999 | 07:04 |
| ren | http://termbin.com/mwju | 07:05 |
| ren | wait | 07:05 |
| ren | need to insert | 07:05 |
| ren | http://termbin.com/vlyl | 07:06 |
| ouroumov_ | Could the USB drives have been added to fstab with ro somehow? | 07:07 |
| alkisg | It doesn't say ro there | 07:07 |
| alkisg | It only says errors=remount-ro | 07:07 |
| alkisg | ren, now try this: touch /media/martin/0224-24F1/test | 07:07 |
| alkisg | Does it show any error messages? | 07:08 |
| ren | no error messages | 07:08 |
| alkisg | OK, now run this: caja /media/martin/0224-24F1 | 07:08 |
| alkisg | Do you see the stick contents AND a test file there? | 07:08 |
| ren | error message pops up | 07:09 |
| ren | could not find ... | 07:09 |
| alkisg | Could not find what? caja? | 07:09 |
| ren | could not find "/media/martin/0224-24F" | 07:10 |
| alkisg | You didn't type the "1" | 07:10 |
| alkisg | at the end | 07:10 |
| ren | ah, ok | 07:10 |
| ren | now caja opens up | 07:10 |
| alkisg | And you see the usb stick contents, and do you see a test file there? | 07:11 |
| ren | yes | 07:11 |
| alkisg | OK, now right click there and create a file or folder | 07:11 |
| alkisg | Do you have write access? | 07:11 |
| ren | no, don't have any access | 07:12 |
| alkisg | Double click on the test file | 07:12 |
| alkisg | Does it open with pluma? Can you write text there and save it? | 07:12 |
| ren | yes, opens up with pluma and also saves text | 07:13 |
| alkisg | Then you do have write access... | 07:13 |
| alkisg | Do you mind if I see what you're talking about, by sharing your screen with me? sudo apt-get install x11vnc; x11vnc -connect srv1-dide.ioa.sch.gr | 07:13 |
| ren | i cannot drag and drop through caja anymore | 07:13 |
| ren | ok | 07:14 |
| ren | installing now | 07:16 |
| alkisg | ren, I deleted your caja settings | 07:27 |
| alkisg | Are things ok now? | 07:27 |
| alkisg | Test and see | 07:27 |
| ren | ok, wait a sec | 07:27 |
| ren | thanks so much, it seems to be working now | 07:28 |
| ren | what was the problem? | 07:28 |
| alkisg | Caja saves its settings at ~/.config/caja | 07:28 |
| alkisg | I renamed that folder to caja.bak, so that it was re-created cleanly | 07:28 |
| alkisg | Since that fixed it, it appears you had some wrong caja settings somewhere | 07:29 |
| alkisg | I don't know which; you can restore them and play with them if you want to find out, but it might take a lot of time to pinpoint the exact setting :) | 07:29 |
| ren | I see | 07:29 |
| ren | I never used X11vnc before | 07:30 |
| ren | do I need to deactivate it somewhere? | 07:30 |
| ren | or deinstall? | 07:30 |
| alkisg | Nah, leave it, it doesn't hurt anything | 07:30 |
| alkisg | Just press ctrl+c in the terminal for me to disconnect | 07:30 |
| alkisg | There | 07:31 |
| alkisg | Ctrl+C from the keyboard | 07:31 |
| alkisg | Anyway I pressed it for you | 07:31 |
| alkisg | I got disconnected now | 07:31 |
| alkisg | It's not a service that runs on boot, you only manually run it when you want, so it doesn't hurt to have it installed | 07:32 |
| alkisg | And it only takes a couple of mb | 07:32 |
| ren | thanks a lot for your help | 07:32 |
| alkisg | np | 07:32 |
| ren | i need to learn more about this, have been using ubuntu mate for half a year now | 07:33 |

| grvn | I'm having some problems with mount that maybe you can help me with. I'm trying to mount a NTFS drive and it works but the options are all wrong. In /etc/fstab the line is /dev/sdb1 /media/extern ntfs-3g auto,rw,exec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000,umask=000 0 0 but in cat /proc/self/mountinfo it mounts as /media/extern rw,nosuid,no | 11:33 |
| grvn | dev,noatime shared:30 - fuseblk /dev/sdb1 rw,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096. Does anyone know what I can do to get the options right? | 11:33 |
