[01:17] I get this error 'Configuration file "/home/test/.config/kreadconfig5rc" not writable. Please contact your system administrator." and unsure why. Any ideas? [01:34] hmmm, sounds like you have permissions problem [01:34] !permissions [01:34] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:34] Yes but why? I had this last time before I reformatted the computer [01:35] it's possible that some application or file was invoked with sudo that shouldn't have been [01:35] Hi everybody. Things have been slower since I upgraded Kubuntu to 18.04. Even putting the proprietary NVdia plugins doesn't resolve the lag that kicks in from time to time [01:35] which made that file owned by root instead of by you the user [01:35] valorie: How do I fix this? [01:35] r1 [01:35] that link should explain [01:36] Change ownership that is all? [01:36] right, chmod your #HOME is what you basically do [01:36] if it's just a file or two it will be super-quick [01:37] valorie: when I try to open dolphin, I get this "Configuration file "/home/test/.config/dolphinrc" not writable. Please contact your system administrator." but after I click okay it opens and another error comes up. [01:37] ugh, is your home on another drive? [01:38] Nope [01:38] because perhaps it's not cleanly mounted [01:38] ok [01:38] imo you should chmod home just to be safe [01:39] Warning with Recursive chmod [01:39] WARNING: Although it's been said, it's worth mentioning in context of a gotcha typo. Please note, Recursively deleting or chown-ing files are extremely dangerous. You will not be the first, nor the last, person to add one too many spaces into the command. This example will hose your system: [01:39] user@host:/home/user$ sudo chmod -R / home/john/Desktop/tempfiles [01:40] Note the space between the first / and home. [01:40] You have been warned. [01:40] from that link ubottu gave above [01:40] I am confused [01:45] mmm, maybe I meant chown [01:45] !chown [01:45] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:45] ok, same link [01:46] valorie: what should my command be? [01:46] hmmm [01:50] chown -R youruser /home/youruser [01:53] if your user in this system is test, then `chown -R test /home/test` [01:56] still coming up after using that [01:58] valorie: ^ [01:59] did chown give you any output? [02:00] said a lot of these "chown: changing ownership of '/home/test/.face': Read-only file system" [02:00] do the files still show as read-only? [02:01] in dolphin or the cli [02:01] -rw-r--r-- 1 test test 14965 May 22 10:06 .face [02:01] this is in cli [02:02] I'm afraid I'm beyond my knowledge [02:02] when I've chowned home that always fixed issues [02:02] Thanks for trying [02:02] you might try in #ubuntu [02:02] I will try that [02:02] best of luck! [02:05] :) === Mrokii_ is now known as Mrokii [02:58] hey I'm trying to install Kubuntu but the install keeps hanging when going from the "Software" section to the "Disk Setup" section ... has anyone seen this? What do I do? [03:05] qwebirc9273: are you doing a whole-disk install, or what? [03:05] what version? [03:06] 18.04 [03:06] I got an ssd for it last night so I'm fine with whole disk [03:07] I would like to setup a duel boot, its been a while since I've done it but I remember it being pretty automated [03:07] 18.04.1? [03:07] or just 18.04 [03:08] hmm I'm running Kubuntu from the thumb drive is there a version I can check in Konsole? [03:08] well, from where did you download the ISO? [03:08] the ubuntu page [03:08] if you did it from our website, it's the correct version [03:08] like the ubuntu flavors page? [03:09] I found a bug about this earlier I think my issue is similar [03:09] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1766978 [03:09] Launchpad bug 1766978 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "The installer stop at the Update and Other software screen when Windows is installed" [Undecided,Confirmed] [03:09] I went here https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/ [03:10] right, that's our website [03:10] interesting, I've not seen this bug report before, and it seems it is for all the flavors [03:11] and odd that it has not been fixed [03:11] I think I could just unplug my windows drive and try again? [03:11] only concern I have is how hard it would be to install lilo or grub [03:11] oh gosh lilo [03:11] I could do that from the thumb drive right? [03:11] grub2 is what is used now [03:11] oh wow ok [03:12] unsure that lilo is used anywhere now [03:12] ahh yea sorry it has been a while [03:12] so, what I would do is use kde partitionmanager or whatever you like, and partition your new SSD before you start [03:13] ok alright, I'll do that [03:13] have fun! [03:13] thanks :) glad to be trying out linux again [03:13] cool [09:01] hi...I'm using autofs to mount some samba shares...thing is, they don't only show up in dolphin after I access them the first time....how to make the visible on mount? [10:30] 'Morning folks [16:06] Help, I broke software updater. I added a custom repository and the software updater says that repository is missing something (a manifest? Message disappears), and updating refuses to progress and I can't close it via the gui, I gotta kill it. [16:06] How do I revert it back to default repositories? [16:13] Nevermind, I found the setting. [18:18] which other DEs are compatible with Kubuntu?
