[00:29] 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] 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] 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." [00:30] 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 [00:31] someone please advise how i should proceed. i got to step 5 and then this happened. [00:32] The visudo entry you made is the issue. There must have been a typo. [00:32] how can i get back to visudo without sudo ? xD [00:33] By booting into recovery, remount / as read-write, run visudo from there and fix the typo [00:33] gotcha. ill give it a shot [00:33] thank you [00:33] Glad to assist [00:37] ShervinEm: Your issue I'm not sure what the problem or solution may be :( [00:38] ShervinEm: What says result of: groups [00:39] "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. [00:40] 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saved, and i'm still not able to use sudo commands [00:40] genii ^ [00:40] My KDE-NEON distro was only roughly 3 months out of date, and I noticed the "fuse" was one of the (240) packages that I updated.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 [00:47] 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] my visudo is back to default as well [00:48] redphantom26: Something must have happened to the default line in there of %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL [00:49] ok ill go back and triple check it .. [00:49] ( assuming you are using the default first created user which has sudo rights by default and not a user which was added later) [00:50] i also ran the command sudo usermod -a -G airvpn user [00:50] perhaps this mucked something up with my user? [00:50] Not so long as the -a was used ( append) [00:51] alright it MUST be my visudo. i'll check again. thanks for sticking with me. i'm nervous losing sudo ability [00:55] 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.

[10:36] anyone? [10:38] heinkel_111: It is probably held back to prevent a dependency issue. This things are usually caused by installing wrong ppa's. [10:39] lordievader: I don't do ppa :) I have the LTS - should I just wait? [10:40] Hmm, what is the output of 'apt-cache policy libmirclient9'? [10:41] lordievader: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24947636/ [10:42] What happens if you specifically instruct apt to install that version? [10:43] 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 [10:44] it is very unusual that packages are held back from normal updage [10:44] update [10:44] usually something only done for new versions of the kernel === kubuntu is now known as newkubuntu [11:21] please help [11:21] i cant play mp3 and ogg and kubuntu-restricted-access wont install how can i fix it? === nameless is now known as Guest67482 === heinkel_111 is now known as heinkel_flying === heinkel_flying is now known as heinkel_111 === kallesbar_ is now known as kallesbar === heinkel_111 is now known as heinkel_flying [14:35] hi [15:59] best IRC client for kubuntu? and most secure too.
