[03:31] <Guest14202> The notebook is restarted after I shutdown it.
[03:54] <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.
[03:57] <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.
[04:29] <toor_> Hi
[06:30] <mate|81489> allo
[06:32] <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.
[06:33] <CrazyTux> please guide me how can I create folders in them as a normal user.
[06:38] <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
[06:39] <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
[06:42] <CrazyTux> ok. Pleae give an example for this. "And "drive" with where your drive is".
[06:43] <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
[06:44] <CrazyTux> do I need to mount that partition?
[06:45] <alkisg> Doesn't it get automatically mounted?
[06:47] <CrazyTux> I need to click on that for it to get mounted.
[06:47] <alkisg> Click it then
[06:49] <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.
[06:50] <alkisg> (09:43:44 πμ) alkisg: Also tell us the username of the user that you want to give access to
[06:52] <CrazyTux> s
[06:52] <CrazyTux> the username is "s"
[06:53] <alkisg> CrazyTux: ok, the command would be: sudo chown -R s:s /media/s/C
[06:54] <alkisg> You enter it once, and then you should be able to read/write files there from the file manager
[06:55] <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?
[06:56] <swift110> hey all
[06:56] <CrazyTux> where can I find all these commands? any book you recommend?
[06:57] <alkisg> They don't different from distro to distro, no
[06:57] <alkisg> Just google about "bash tutorial"
[06:58] <CrazyTux> ok. thanks a lot.
[06:58] <alkisg> np
[07:58] <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?
[08:27] <lrb> Also, Wimpress I just listened to the Destination Linux podcast. Thanks for your time!
[13:54] <guest-z1rp3v> hi
[14:01] <sSs> hello
[14:02] <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
[14:03] <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
[14:05] <sSs> vkareh: thanks for the info... didn't knew about that... maybe that option should be used to introduce a slider of scale
[14:07] <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
[14:08] <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
[14:29] <xadi> Hello! I have forgotten the password I defined through the installation of ubuntu-mate. Is there a way to retrieve it?
[14:38] <sSs> vkareh: I saw the slider in Ubuntu with wayland and it's exactly what we need (mho)
[14:39] <sSs> xadi: what password? do you have access to the machine in person?
[14:39] <vkareh> sSs: MATE doesn't support Wayland :P
[14:40] <sSs> vkareh: I know (and thank god) but it is a nice feature
[14:41] <sSs> xadi: https://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-password
[15:40] <xadi> ok, i'll try it. Thanks
[15:43] <lapaga> hi all in ubuntu-mate 18.04 when the screensaver is activated I lose my keyboard.  I can click on new user and login but not from the screensaver screen
[17:10] <xadi> it worked!!
[20:11] <Talikkaf> Joe Collins makes good videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqA7b4ba29o
[20:19] <diogenes_> Talikkaf, especially his video where he states that all linux distros suck
