=== root_ is now known as Guest14202 [03:31] The notebook is restarted after I shutdown it. [03:54] 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. [03:57] sudo mount -o remount,rw /partition/identifier /mount/point, rw - rewrite [03:57] rw option is a key [03:57] ok. [03:57] thanks a lot. [04:29] Hi [06:30] allo [06:32] 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. [06:33] please guide me how can I create folders in them as a normal user. [06:38] CrazyTux: sudo mkdir /media/drive/user; sudo chown user:user /media/drive/user => and then you can write to that dir as the user [06:39] alkisg, I need to copy and paste this? [06:39] Or type it [06:39] Replace "user" with the username that you want [06:39] And "drive" with where your drive is [06:42] ok. Pleae give an example for this. "And "drive" with where your drive is". [06:43] 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] Also tell us the username of the user that you want to give access to [06:44] do I need to mount that partition? [06:45] Doesn't it get automatically mounted? [06:47] I need to click on that for it to get mounted. [06:47] Click it then [06:49] alkisg, http://termbin.com/bri0 [06:49] I am not able to create any folders in and copy any files onto C and D partitions. [06:50] (09:43:44 πμ) alkisg: Also tell us the username of the user that you want to give access to [06:52] s [06:52] the username is "s" [06:53] CrazyTux: ok, the command would be: sudo chown -R s:s /media/s/C [06:54] You enter it once, and then you should be able to read/write files there from the file manager [06:55] alkisg, thank you very much. [06:55] np [06:55] I really need to learn these commands. [06:55] do they differ from one distro to another? [06:56] hey all [06:56] where can I find all these commands? any book you recommend? [06:57] They don't different from distro to distro, no [06:57] Just google about "bash tutorial" [06:58] ok. thanks a lot. [06:58] np [07:58] 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? [08:27] Also, Wimpress I just listened to the Destination Linux podcast. Thanks for your time! [13:54] hi [14:01] hello [14:02] does anyone know if the hidpi support percentage increase/decrease? [14:02] I would love to see a scale slider like ubuntu has [14:03] 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 [14:05] vkareh: thanks for the info... didn't knew about that... maybe that option should be used to introduce a slider of scale [14:07] 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 [14:08] some users might want scale=2 with a smaller DPI, others might prefer scale=1 with a higher DPI... [14:08] 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 [14:29] Hello! I have forgotten the password I defined through the installation of ubuntu-mate. Is there a way to retrieve it? [14:38] vkareh: I saw the slider in Ubuntu with wayland and it's exactly what we need (mho) [14:39] xadi: what password? do you have access to the machine in person? [14:39] sSs: MATE doesn't support Wayland :P [14:40] vkareh: I know (and thank god) but it is a nice feature [14:41] xadi: https://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-password === Darkhero42 is now known as Darkhero [15:40] ok, i'll try it.
