[00:29] <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."
[00:30] <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
[00:31] <redphantom26> someone please advise how i should proceed. i got to step 5 and then this happened.
[00:32] <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
[00:33] <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
[00:37] <genii> ShervinEm: Your issue I'm not sure what the problem or solution may be :(
[00:38] <genii> ShervinEm: What says result of: groups
[00:39] <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.
[00:40] <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 My KDE-NEON distro was only roughly 3 months out of date, and I noticed the "fuse" was one of the (240) packages that I updated.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
[00:47] <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
[00:48] <genii> redphantom26: Something must have happened to the default line in there of %sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
[00:49] <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)
[00:50] <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)
[00:51] <redphantom26> alright it MUST be my visudo. i'll check again. thanks for sticking with me. i'm nervous losing sudo ability
[00:55] <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.
[00:57] <genii> redphantom26: :)
[00:57] <genii> redphantom26: For the other issue, try removing the space between : and /
[04:12] <karab44> where am I ?
[09:56] <lordievader> Good morning
[10:05] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[10:35] <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
[10:36] <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?
[10:38] <lordievader> heinkel_111: It is probably held back to prevent a dependency issue. This things are usually caused by installing wrong ppa's.
[10:39] <heinkel_111> lordievader: I don't do ppa :) I have the LTS - should I just wait?
[10:40] <lordievader> Hmm, what is the output of 'apt-cache policy libmirclient9'?
[10:41] <heinkel_111> lordievader: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24947636/
[10:42] <lordievader> What happens if you specifically instruct apt to install that version?
[10:43] <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
[10:44] <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
[11:21] <newkubuntu> please help
[11:21] <newkubuntu> i cant play mp3 and ogg and kubuntu-restricted-access wont install how can i fix it?
[14:35] <jmc> hi
[15:59] <doctorwhobucket> best IRC client for kubuntu? and most secure too.

[16:02] <BluesKaj> doctorwhobucket, I've been using Konversation for 12 yrs ...easy to setup and can be used with a proxy if you want
[16:31] <lordievader> doctorwhobucket: Matrix + riot. Takes some setting up, but offers many advantages.

[20:45] <urib> hello all
[20:56] <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.
[20:57] <redphantom26> I'm not sure why this is. Does anyone have any clues?
[21:00] <hipp> redphantom26: add them to fstab
[21:01] <redphantom26> I've never used fstab before. Sorry to do this but can you be a little more specific ?:)
[21:01] <hipp> try this   ...  https://askubuntu.com/questions/303497/adding-an-entry-to-fstab
[21:02] <redphantom26> thank you hipp
[21:02] <hipp> welcome
