| emma | hello everyone | 00:35 |
|---|---|---|
| etrigan63[m] | So has there been any updates as when Plasma 5.13.x will get backported to 18.04? I know that they are waiting on the latest version of QT for a bunch of stuff but I can't seem to get a rough idea of timeframe out of anyone. | 00:52 |
| suffokated | hello :) i'm running into a problem with an external hard drive, on 18.04 - i used the KDE Partition Manager to make the entire drive encrypted with LUKS/ext4 but whenever I mount it via Device Notifier, then open with File Manager (Dolphin), I can't copy anything to it. I can't even make directories. I'm assuming it's being mounted as read only but I double checked in the partition manager just to make sure it wasn't read-only permissions, it's | 03:50 |
| suffokated | not. How do I enable write privledges? I don't encounter the same problem with my thumbdrives but I haven't tried LUKS on those yet | 03:50 |
| etrigan63[m] | suffokated: Is this to be mounted at boot time or just when you attach the drive? I have RAID-5 array via USB 3.0 that I mount at boot time. It's not encrypted so it is much simpler. To mount at boot time read this: https://blog.tinned-software.net/automount-a-luks-encrypted-volume-on-system-start/ | 04:09 |
| etrigan63[m] | To mount on demand read this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/63594/mount-encrypted-volumes-from-command-line | 04:10 |
| suffokated | the drive will house some sensitive data, not one i intend on keeping plugged in unless using it. | 04:10 |
| suffokated | thanks! will do so now :) | 04:11 |
| etrigan63[m] | Glad I could help. | 04:11 |
| suffokated | etrigan63: well mounting was no problem, but I still cannot copy or create anything on the drive :/ | 04:21 |
| suffokated | mkdir: cannot create directory ‘test’: Permission denied | 04:21 |
| etrigan63[m] | Did you unlock the drive with its password? | 04:22 |
| suffokated | yes, and as sudo it lets me create directories. is it not possible to work with the drive as my local user account? | 04:22 |
| suffokated | guessing i will need to manually add it to fstab for that | 04:23 |
| etrigan63[m] | It could be that root is the owner. You'd have to check permissions now that you have unlocked it. The udiskctl command needs to be executed without sudo. | 04:24 |
| suffokated | yes i executed the commands as an underpriviledged user | 04:24 |
| suffokated | i only tried sudo to make a directory to see if that had any difference, and it did | 04:24 |
| suffokated | so root must own the device lol | 04:25 |
| etrigan63[m] | It's non-privileged, but I get what you mean. | 04:25 |
| suffokated | gotcha, still sorta new to this :) | 04:25 |
| suffokated | can i just chown -R /dev/sdb1 ? lol | 04:26 |
| suffokated | well i think it's chown -R user.user /dev/sdb1 | 04:27 |
| etrigan63[m] | Checking the exact syntax. Normally this is handled via fstab file. | 04:27 |
| etrigan63[m] | when you mount the drive, what is the mount point? | 04:29 |
| suffokated | into /media/user/driveUUID | 04:29 |
| etrigan63[m] | sudo chmod 777 /media/user/driveUUID | 04:31 |
| etrigan63[m] | or | 04:32 |
| etrigan63[m] | sudo chown -R johndoe:johndoe /media/user/driveUUID | 04:32 |
| etrigan63[m] | I feel the second one is safer than the first. | 04:33 |
| suffokated | yes :) i did the second, then used 0700 for chmod :) | 04:34 |
| etrigan63[m] | A safer bet is to create your own mount point instead of letting the system decide for you. | 04:34 |
| etrigan63[m] | sudo mkdir /mnt/MyMount | 04:34 |
| etrigan63[m] | sudo chown mylogin:mylogin /mnt/MyMount | 04:35 |
| suffokated | nods | 04:37 |
| suffokated | if i add it to fstab, and it's not plugged in, will that have any negative effects on booting? | 04:37 |
| suffokated | such as not letting the system boot because fstab can't find the device? | 04:38 |
| * etrigan63[m] sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/lbOQYrCvVExOcvXijVDBfPzJ > | 04:41 | |
| suffokated | okay, thanks again, i'll do that :) much appreciated! | 04:43 |
| etrigan63[m] | Once you have the mount point created, you could use a bash script to handle the opening/mounting and one for unmounting and closing. | 04:43 |
| suffokated | i haven't tried any bash scripting yet, still feel like i'll always forever be learning basics haha | 04:44 |
| etrigan63[m] | Don't forget to chown the mount point to yourself. | 04:44 |
| etrigan63[m] | I've been using linux for years and I learn soemthing new every day. | 04:45 |
| suffokated | i did use it full time for about a year | 04:46 |
| suffokated | but that was over a decade ago :) | 04:46 |
| suffokated | struggling to remember things now | 04:47 |
| suffokated | 1803 tipped me over the edge though, our entire household moved to Kubuntu | 04:47 |
| qbsd | any advice on what to do about updates today that killed my nvidia driver dead and replaced it with nouveau? is this a known issue? | 04:49 |
| etrigan63[m] | The Only Thing That Is Constant Is Change - Heraclitus | 04:49 |
| etrigan63[m] | qbsd: Run lsmod | grep nvidia to see if it is actually running nouveau. | 04:50 |
| qbsd | already looked at Xorg.log | 04:51 |
| qbsd | and lsmod shows nouveau as well | 04:52 |
| etrigan63[m] | What does the Driver Manager report? | 04:53 |
| qbsd | it says nvidia 390, and it lies | 04:56 |
| qbsd | this is an old gts-450, and in the past nvidia tends to shuffle out support in the newest driver releases for older legacy cards | 04:57 |
| etrigan63[m] | Mine says I am running nouveau and it's not installed on my system. | 04:57 |
| etrigan63[m] | I have a GTX 1080 | 04:57 |
| etrigan63[m] | Only because I can't get OpenCL to work with AMD cards yet. | 04:58 |
| qbsd | if it is a known problem and people are looking at it maybe I'll leave it as is for a test case to gather info; or clonezilla back to known good | 04:58 |
| suffokated | i had a similar problem, Kubuntu said I was using nvidia-drivers but Xorg's log said I was using nouveau. Secure boot in bios was the culprit in my case | 04:59 |
| etrigan63[m] | Hmmm, I will have to check that. | 04:59 |
| qbsd | this is a z77 ivy bridge. I do not have secure boot | 04:59 |
| etrigan63[m] | I have an X399 Threadripper. It does have secure boot. | 05:00 |
| etrigan63[m] | brb | 05:00 |
| qbsd | driver manager is b0rked. tried to select downgrade to 340 and now I have 2 copies of 'using nouveau' | 05:02 |
| qbsd | oh well, gonna roll back until devs figure it out. will try updating again in a week or two | 05:02 |
| qbsd | thanks | 05:03 |

| Quantos | Hello, I'm having an issue installing the Oracle VBox Guest Additions on KUbuntu 18.04.1 LTS | 13:36 |
| diogenes_ | which is? | 13:37 |
| Quantos | Well, it won't install at all | 13:38 |
| Quantos | I must be missing a step somewhere | 13:39 |
| Quantos | But I can't seem to find it | 13:39 |
| diogenes_ | and what is host os? | 13:39 |
| Quantos | Oh, host OS is Win 10 | 13:40 |
| Quantos | I know, it sucks | 13:40 |
| Quantos | I lost a bet and now I'm learning Windows | 13:40 |
| diogenes_ | /j #windows | 13:41 |
| Quantos | I'm assuming that you're trying to be funny | 13:42 |
| hateball | #virtualbox would probably be more accurate | 13:45 |
