| ShervinEm | Hi, I'm having problems with fuse / fusermount permission after upgrading the packages on my 3 month old KDE NEON system (based on Ubuntu 16.04), so I'm hoping someone here can help me or point me to the correct channel. I can now only use gvfs, sshfs and encfs if I use sudo. I verified that /bin/fusermount and /dev/fuse have global permissions and | 00:29 |
|---|---|---|
| ShervinEm | I added myself to a new "fuse" group & rebooted, but still the same problem: they only work now if I add "sudo" to the commands. | 00:29 |
| redphantom26 | so i think i made a mistake and now i can't use sudo anymore... I get the error "Sorry, user redphantom is not allowed to execute '/bin/nano /usr/share/applications/AirVPN.desktop' as root on redphantom." | 00:29 |
| redphantom26 | i was trying to apply the solution found here to auto-run my vpn client https://airvpn.org/topic/20443-how-to-autostart-airvpn-as-root-with-no-password-solved/?hl=%2Bubuntu+%2Bauto | 00:30 |
| redphantom26 | someone please advise how i should proceed. i got to step 5 and then this happened. | 00:31 |
| genii | The visudo entry you made is the issue. There must have been a typo. | 00:32 |
| redphantom26 | how can i get back to visudo without sudo ? xD | 00:32 |
| genii | By booting into recovery, remount / as read-write, run visudo from there and fix the typo | 00:33 |
| redphantom26 | gotcha. ill give it a shot | 00:33 |
| redphantom26 | thank you | 00:33 |
| genii | Glad to assist | 00:33 |
| genii | ShervinEm: Your issue I'm not sure what the problem or solution may be :( | 00:37 |
| genii | ShervinEm: What says result of: groups | 00:38 |
| ShervinEm | "groups" did say "semami adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare". There wasn't a "fuse" group on my computer, so I added the "fuse" group and added myself to it and rebooted, but still the same problem. | 00:39 |
| redphantom26 | hey i just did the remount and deleted the stuff i pasted in and saved, and i'm still not able to use sudo commands | 00:40 |
| redphantom26 | genii ^ | 00:40 |
| ShervinEm | My KDE-NEON distro was only roughly 3 months out of date, and I noticed the "fuse" was one of the (240) packages that I updated. So I'm guessing that something changed with how it uses fuse | 00:40 |
| redphantom26 | ok im completely f'd genii. i just went and tried usermod -aG sudo USERNAME and it still won't let me use sudo | 00:47 |
| redphantom26 | my visudo is back to default as well | 00:47 |
| genii | redphantom26: Something must have happened to the default line in there of %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL | 00:48 |
| redphantom26 | ok ill go back and triple check it .. | 00:49 |
| genii | ( assuming you are using the default first created user which has sudo rights by default and not a user which was added later) | 00:49 |
| redphantom26 | i also ran the command sudo usermod -a -G airvpn user | 00:50 |
| redphantom26 | perhaps this mucked something up with my user? | 00:50 |
| genii | Not so long as the -a was used ( append) | 00:50 |
| redphantom26 | alright it MUST be my visudo. i'll check again. thanks for sticking with me. i'm nervous losing sudo ability | 00:51 |
| redphantom26 | genii: i have no clue how but you were right. i must have deleted the %sudo line. That was scary! Thanks for saving my ass. | 00:55 |
| genii | redphantom26: :) | 00:57 |
| genii | redphantom26: For the other issue, try removing the space between : and / | 00:57 |

| lordievader | Good morning | 09:56 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 10:05 |
| heinkel_111 | I am running DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS" ok its kubuntu but that is what the files tell me | 10:35 |
| heinkel_111 | (cat /etc/*-release | 10:35 |
| heinkel_111 | when I do apt-get upgrade, I notice libmirclient9 is held back | 10:36 |
| heinkel_111 | why is it held back, and should I install it? | 10:36 |
| heinkel_111 | anyone? | 10:36 |
| lordievader | heinkel_111: It is probably held back to prevent a dependency issue. This things are usually caused by installing wrong ppa's. | 10:38 |
| heinkel_111 | lordievader: I don't do ppa :) I have the LTS - should I just wait? | 10:39 |
| lordievader | Hmm, what is the output of 'apt-cache policy libmirclient9'? | 10:40 |
| heinkel_111 | lordievader: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24947636/ | 10:41 |
| lordievader | What happens if you specifically instruct apt to install that version? | 10:42 |
| heinkel_111 | I guess it will install if I try (the same way as new kernel will install) but the question is more if that is a good thing to do or if there are problems with the package suggesting I should rather wait | 10:43 |
| heinkel_111 | it is very unusual that packages are held back from normal updage | 10:44 |
| heinkel_111 | update | 10:44 |
| heinkel_111 | usually something only done for new versions of the kernel | 10:44 |

| urib | hello all | 20:45 |
| redphantom26 | Every time I start my comp my extra hard drives don't seem to initialize(?) and my media browser has trouble accessing them until I go into Dolphin and click on the Hard Drive under "Devices." Then the drive becomes readable. The icon starts out red and then when I click on it and open the files in it it turns to green and becomes readable by my various programs. | 20:56 |
| redphantom26 | I'm not sure why this is. Does anyone have any clues? | 20:57 |
