[01:17] <R13ose> I get this error 'Configuration file "/home/test/.config/kreadconfig5rc" not writable. Please contact your system administrator." and unsure why.  Any ideas?
[01:34] <valorie> hmmm, sounds like you have permissions problem
[01:34] <valorie> !permissions
[01:34] <R13ose> Yes but why?  I had this last time before I reformatted the computer
[01:35] <valorie> it's possible that some application or file was invoked with sudo that shouldn't have been
[01:35] <malaverdiere> 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] <valorie> which made that file owned by root instead of by you the user
[01:35] <R13ose> valorie: How do I fix this?
[01:35] <valorie> r1
[01:35] <valorie> that link should explain
[01:36] <R13ose> Change ownership that is all?
[01:36] <valorie> right, chmod your #HOME is what you basically do
[01:36] <valorie> if it's just a file or two it will be super-quick
[01:37] <R13ose> 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] <valorie> ugh, is your home on another drive?
[01:38] <R13ose> Nope
[01:38] <valorie> because perhaps it's not cleanly mounted
[01:38] <valorie> ok
[01:38] <valorie> imo you should chmod home just to be safe
[01:39] <valorie> Warning with Recursive chmod
[01:39] <valorie> 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] <valorie> user@host:/home/user$ sudo chmod -R / home/john/Desktop/tempfiles
[01:40] <valorie> Note the space between the first / and home.
[01:40] <valorie> You have been warned.
[01:40] <valorie> from that link ubottu gave above
[01:40] <R13ose> I am confused
[01:45] <valorie> mmm, maybe I meant chown
[01:45] <valorie> !chown
[01:45] <valorie> ok, same link
[01:46] <R13ose> valorie: what should my command be?
[01:46] <valorie> hmmm
[01:50] <valorie> chown -R youruser /home/youruser
[01:53] <valorie> if your user in this system is test, then `chown -R test /home/test`
[01:56] <R13ose> still coming up after using that
[01:58] <R13ose> valorie: ^
[01:59] <valorie> did chown give you any output?
[02:00] <R13ose> said a lot of these "chown: changing ownership of '/home/test/.face': Read-only file system"
[02:00] <valorie> do the files still show as read-only?
[02:01] <valorie> in dolphin or the cli
[02:01] <R13ose> -rw-r--r--  1 test test    14965 May 22 10:06  .face
[02:01] <R13ose> this is in cli
[02:02] <valorie> I'm afraid I'm beyond my knowledge
[02:02] <valorie> when I've chowned home that always fixed issues
[02:02] <R13ose> Thanks for trying
[02:02] <valorie> you might try in #ubuntu
[02:02] <R13ose> I will try that
[02:02] <valorie> best of luck!
[02:05] <R13ose> :)
[02:58] <qwebirc9273> 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] <valorie> qwebirc9273: are you doing a whole-disk install, or what?
[03:05] <valorie> what version?
[03:06] <qwebirc9273> 18.04
[03:06] <qwebirc9273> I got an ssd for it last night so I'm fine with whole disk
[03:07] <qwebirc9273> 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] <valorie> 18.04.1?
[03:07] <valorie> or just 18.04
[03:08] <qwebirc9273> hmm I'm running Kubuntu from the thumb drive is there a version I can check in Konsole?
[03:08] <valorie> well, from where did you download the ISO?
[03:08] <qwebirc9273> the ubuntu page
[03:08] <valorie> if you did it from our website, it's the correct version
[03:08] <valorie> like the ubuntu flavors page?
[03:09] <qwebirc9273> I found a bug about this earlier I think my issue is similar
[03:09] <qwebirc9273> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1766978
[03:09] <qwebirc9273> I went here https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/
[03:10] <valorie> right, that's our website
[03:10] <valorie> interesting, I've not seen this bug report before, and it seems it is for all the flavors
[03:11] <valorie> and odd that it has not been fixed
[03:11] <qwebirc9273> I think I could just unplug my windows drive and try again?
[03:11] <qwebirc9273> only concern I have is how hard it would be to install lilo or grub
[03:11] <valorie> oh gosh lilo
[03:11] <qwebirc9273> I could do that from the thumb drive right?
[03:11] <valorie> grub2 is what is used now
[03:11] <qwebirc9273> oh wow ok
[03:12] <valorie> unsure that lilo is used anywhere now
[03:12] <qwebirc9273> ahh yea sorry it has been a while
[03:12] <valorie> so, what I would do is use kde partitionmanager or whatever you like, and partition your new SSD before you start
[03:13] <qwebirc9273> ok alright, I'll do that
[03:13] <valorie> have fun!
[03:13] <qwebirc9273> thanks :) glad to be trying out linux again
[03:13] <valorie> cool
[09:01] <m_tadeu> 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] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[16:06] <Mylon> 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] <Mylon> How do I revert it back to default repositories?
[16:13] <Mylon> Nevermind, I found the setting.
[18:18] <CrazyTux> which other DEs are compatible with Kubuntu?
