| CrazyTux | hello, I formatted two partitions on my laptop's harddisk. I am not able to create any folders in those partition and not able to copy any files either. | 03:54 |
| Guest14202 | sudo mount -o remount,rw /partition/identifier /mount/point, rw - rewrite | 03:57 |
| Guest14202 | rw option is a key | 03:57 |
| CrazyTux | ok. | 03:57 |
| CrazyTux | thanks a lot. | 03:57 |
| toor_ | Hi | 04:29 |
| mate|81489 | allo | 06:30 |
| CrazyTux | hello, I have created two ext4 partitions on my laptop harddisk. I am able to create files and folders in those only as an administratror. | 06:32 |
| CrazyTux | please guide me how can I create folders in them as a normal user. | 06:33 |
| alkisg | CrazyTux: sudo mkdir /media/drive/user; sudo chown user:user /media/drive/user => and then you can write to that dir as the user | 06:38 |
| CrazyTux | alkisg, I need to copy and paste this? | 06:39 |
| alkisg | Or type it | 06:39 |
| alkisg | Replace "user" with the username that you want | 06:39 |
| alkisg | And "drive" with where your drive is | 06:39 |
| CrazyTux | ok. Pleae give an example for this. "And "drive" with where your drive is". | 06:42 |
| alkisg | CrazyTux: if you don't know where your disk is, then insert the disk, and give us the following information: sudo lsblk --fs | nc termbin.com 9999 | 06:43 |
| alkisg | Also tell us the username of the user that you want to give access to | 06:43 |
| CrazyTux | do I need to mount that partition? | 06:44 |
| alkisg | Doesn't it get automatically mounted? | 06:45 |
| CrazyTux | I need to click on that for it to get mounted. | 06:47 |
| alkisg | Click it then | 06:47 |
| CrazyTux | alkisg, http://termbin.com/bri0 | 06:49 |
| CrazyTux | I am not able to create any folders in and copy any files onto C and D partitions. | 06:49 |
| alkisg | (09:43:44 πμ) alkisg: Also tell us the username of the user that you want to give access to | 06:50 |
| CrazyTux | s | 06:52 |
| CrazyTux | the username is "s" | 06:52 |
| alkisg | CrazyTux: ok, the command would be: sudo chown -R s:s /media/s/C | 06:53 |
| alkisg | You enter it once, and then you should be able to read/write files there from the file manager | 06:54 |
| CrazyTux | alkisg, thank you very much. | 06:55 |
| alkisg | np | 06:55 |
| CrazyTux | I really need to learn these commands. | 06:55 |
| CrazyTux | do they differ from one distro to another? | 06:55 |
| swift110 | hey all | 06:56 |
| CrazyTux | where can I find all these commands? any book you recommend? | 06:56 |
| alkisg | They don't different from distro to distro, no | 06:57 |
| alkisg | Just google about "bash tutorial" | 06:57 |
| CrazyTux | ok. thanks a lot. | 06:58 |
| alkisg | np | 06:58 |
| lrb | I'm having troubles with automount on Ubuntu Mate. All of my duplicity backups are on an external disk and now when I try to access them after a fresh install, Caja is telling me I don't have the right permissions to the disk. Where can I go to modify the automount permissions? | 07:58 |
| lrb | Also, Wimpress I just listened to the Destination Linux podcast. Thanks for your time! | 08:27 |
| guest-z1rp3v | hi | 13:54 |
| sSs | hello | 14:01 |
| sSs | does anyone know if the hidpi support percentage increase/decrease? | 14:02 |
| sSs | I would love to see a scale slider like ubuntu has | 14:02 |
| vkareh | sSs: no, GTK doesn't support fractional scaling, so you can only do 1x, 2x, etc. But you can always do 2x and decrease your font DPI | 14:03 |
| sSs | vkareh: thanks for the info... didn't knew about that... maybe that option should be used to introduce a slider of scale | 14:05 |
| vkareh | that's a possibility - so if your DPI is 96, you can have 1x be scale=1,dpi=96; 1.5x is scale=2,dpi=144; and 2x scale=2,dpi=192 - or something along those lines... it might very much be hardware dependent, so I'm not sure if that 1.5 would apply to users in that situation | 14:07 |
| vkareh | some users might want scale=2 with a smaller DPI, others might prefer scale=1 with a higher DPI... | 14:08 |
| vkareh | that's also why mate tweak doesn't make any assumptions and instead just has a button to open the font properties, so that the user can make that decision | 14:08 |
| xadi | Hello! I have forgotten the password I defined through the installation of ubuntu-mate. Is there a way to retrieve it? | 14:29 |
| sSs | vkareh: I saw the slider in Ubuntu with wayland and it's exactly what we need (mho) | 14:38 |
| sSs | xadi: what password? do you have access to the machine in person? | 14:39 |
| vkareh | sSs: MATE doesn't support Wayland :P | 14:39 |
| sSs | vkareh: I know (and thank god) but it is a nice feature | 14:40 |
