sbabozzok so i'm creating a shared folder with permissive permissions in /19:12
sbabozzIm just confused about who i should make the owner of that folder19:13
sbabozzDoes it matter?19:13
sbabozzI was thinkingof root (like all the others in /)  but I dont like the idea of setting a precedent where other users can get into root's stuff..19:13
sbabozzAlso (other question) I would like to know why Snap installs don't work (they get installed, but apps don't launch)19:17
wxl@teward: do acl's care about ownership?19:19
wxlre: snaps, they work fine. might be a specific snap.19:19
sbabozzhi :)19:20
sbabozz(again)19:20
sbabozzare you the official coordinator of this channel?19:20
wxlno19:20
wxlwell19:21
wxlmaybe19:21
Bruhhello19:22
sbabozzcan you kick people out?19:23
=== help is now known as Guest95822
sbabozz(i guess that's the power of the coordinator)19:24
Guest95822hi19:24
wxlnever had to do it19:25
Guest95822uhh19:26
sbabozzdo you think it matters who is the owner of the folder?19:26
sbabozzalso what was that /tmp method you talked about yesterday19:26
wxlno idea19:27
sbabozzwhich question?19:27
Guest95822can you uhhhh help?19:27
sbabozzGuest95822: just shoot your question19:27
Guest95822aight19:28
Guest95822I'm downloading lubuntu and I'm stuck at partitions19:28
Guest95822the partitions are correct but I'm not allowed to hit next19:28
Guest95822help19:28
sbabozzGuest95822: are you downloading or installing?19:30
Guest95822I have lubuntu on a flash drive and I'm installing it onto my computers drive19:30
Guest95822install19:30
sbabozzThat's strange... I never had problems with the installation... I would quit that installation and restart a new one...19:31
Guest95822alright19:32
Guest95822brb I guess19:32
sbabozzAlso check that your install media is 100% good19:32
lubot<HMollerCl> do you have a swap partition in the drive you want to install?19:37
sbabozzwxl: you said something like the easiest way (for quick transfers of files between local users) might have been with /tmp19:37
wxlsbabozz: /tmp is a "temporary" storage open to all19:39
wxlemphasis on temporary19:40
lubot<lynorian> it goes away on reboot19:40
sbabozzso say if guest puts something there, then guest logs out, then another user logs in, he will find that file in /tmp?19:40
sbabozz(without rebooting machine)19:41
ahhhhhback19:42
ahhhhhnext is still greyed out19:43
wxlsbabozz: https://serverfault.com/questions/455219/how-long-do-uploaded-files-stay-in-the-tmp-folder-in-linux-ubuntu19:43
wxlahhhhh: did you check the hashes of the iso and the disk for defects at boot?19:43
ahhhhhhow do I do that?19:44
wxlyou follow the manual :)19:44
wxlmanual.lubuntu.me19:44
ahhhhhjeeeez19:45
lubot<HMollerCl> wxl: maybe is the thing with swap partitions19:45
tewardwxl: in what context19:45
tewardsorry i was in a meeting19:45
tewardwxl: ACLs are more 'extended permissions' and can *override* standard chmod effectiveness19:45
wxlsbabozz: ^ i.e. the owner of your shared folder won't matter19:46
tewardso if I have a default owner of root, but an ACL for u::rwx the *effective* ACL for any user is read/write/execute-traverse19:46
tewardbut it can get janky sometimes with LOTS of rules19:46
sbabozzcan the owner be a non-existing user?19:46
sbabozzi mean is this possible?19:47
tewardno19:47
tewardowner has to exist19:47
tewardeven if owner is root19:47
tewardwhich is fine19:47
wxlowner could be nobody?19:48
sbabozzahhhhh: when you start install media there is an option like "Check for defects"19:48
wxl^ that's part 2/219:48
tewardwxl: that too19:50
sbabozzteward: so is this wrong thinking-> I dont like the idea of setting a precedent where other users can get into root's stuff19:50
tewardsbabozz: so set it to nobody:nogroup19:50
tewardthen provide per group / per user ACLs independently19:50
tewardbut note that ACLs can be *very* tricky sometimes and can break things if you aren't careful19:50
sbabozzwhat i do is just create a folder in / (using pcmanfm-root) then set the owner to "nobody" and allow all permissions to access, read and modify... CORRECT?19:53
sbabozz(I do sudo pcmanfm)19:55
sbabozzIf i remember correctly the guest user has a very limited disk space. How to change it? (the default disk space given to guest)19:59
ahhhhhhhhhelo20:01
ahhhhhhhhhow do20:01
ahhhhhhhhI got past the partition part20:01
ahhhhhhhhbut there is another error20:01
wxldid you check the hashes of your iso?20:02
ahhhhhhhhI checked the disc is the hashes thing in the manual as well?20:02
wxlyep20:02
ahhhhhhhhbrbrbr20:02
ahhhhhhhhwhich chapter20:02
sbabozzmd5sum20:03
sbabozzin the terminal you write md5sum [name of file]20:03
sbabozzthen that string has to match perfectly the official md5sum20:04
sbabozzin the terminal you first need to go to the folder where the iso file is20:05
sbabozzand then you write md5sum [name of file] and then press enter20:05
sbabozzthis will give you the md5sum string of the downloaded file20:05
sbabozzif it matches the official, then you're good20:06
sbabozzwxl: am i giving good support? :)20:07
wxlsbabozz: looks good to me.20:08
sbabozzahhhhhhhh: are you still here?20:08
ahhhhhhhhyes20:08
sbabozzdid you understand?20:08
ahhhhhhhhI didn't even know you were talkin to me20:08
ahhhhhhhhso do mdmsum20:08
sbabozzmd5sum20:08
ahhhhhhhhhow do I find the official?20:08
sbabozzsounds complicated, but it's actually very easy20:09
ahhhhhhhhI used linuxpendrive to make my usb bootable so I don't really have the iso anymore20:09
sbabozzhttps://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Installazione/MD5Sum/Hash20:10
ahhhhhhhhis there a way I can do the mdmdm6msum20:10
ahhhhhhhhon windows?20:10
ahhhhhhhhI have the iso on there20:10
wxlsbabozz: you might want to provide the standard ubuntu.com links rather than the language specific ones20:10
wxlahhhhhhhh: there are programs to do it but i can't recommend a particular one20:10
ahhhhhhhhFile "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/calamares/modules/unpackfs/main.py", line 340, in run     return unpackop.run()    File "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/calamares/modules/unpackfs/main.py", line 224, in run     error_msg = self.unpack_image(entry, imgmountdir)    File "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/calamares/modules/unpackfs/main.py", line 270, in unpack_image     return file_copy(imgmountdir, entry.destination, progress_cb)    File "/usr/20:13
ahhhhhhhhthose are the errors20:13
wxlthere should be a log in home somewhere. could you pastebin that?20:14
ahhhhhhhhwaht20:14
wxlpastebinit $HOME/.cache/Calamares/session.log20:16

ahhhhhhhhoops20:17
ahhhhhhhhhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TfjZMKfKMS/20:18
wxlwow that is a mess of partitions20:19
ahhhhhhhhyeah It worked maybe I guess but not20:20
wxlwhat are you trying to accomplish here?20:22
ahhhhhhhhUh I really don't know20:24
sbabozzsorry for the language, but the italian page is better (you can see all the md5sums in one page)20:24
wxlyou appear to have two drives?20:24
ahhhhhhhhuhhhh20:24
ahhhhhhhhno20:24
ahhhhhhhhI see waht I did and I'm tryna fix it bro20:25

ahhhhhhhhhe installer failed to resize partition /dev/mmcblk0p2 on disk 'MMC BJNB4R'. ========================================================================================== Shrink partition ‘/dev/mmcblk0p2’ from 24.61 GiB to 24.51 GiB ========================================================================================== ========================================================================================== Job: Resize file 20:26
ahhhhhhhhdifferent erroror20:26
sbabozzteward: do you confirm this -> what i do is just create a folder in / (using pcmanfm-root) then set the owner to "nobody" and allow all permissions to access, read and modify... CORRECT?20:26
sbabozzJust want to be sure that I will not break my system right... :)20:27
wxlyep20:27
wxlbecause it's mounted20:27
wxl2019-06-18 - 15:50:55 [6]: .. contains mounted "/dev/mmcblk0p2"20:27
ahhhhhhhhit might be working20:28
wxlyou should make sure everything's unmounted20:28
ahhhhhhhhthe partitions were very messed up because I don't know how to do that20:28
wxlwhy don't you just erase the entire disk?20:29
wxlbbl20:30
tewardsbabozz: in theory, yes.20:30
tewardin practice i'd use ACLs to also control defaults on created files20:30
sbabozzin theory?20:30
tewardbut start with your part first20:30
tewardand stop pinging me i'm busy at work :p20:30
sbabozzyou mean i could break my system?20:30
tewardsbabozz: no20:31
tewardbreak your system, no20:31
tewardmake it so if i create a file someone else can't edit it, yes.20:31
sbabozzsorry20:31
tewardcreate a file in that directory space*20:31
ahhhhhhhhhey wxl should I use swap since I only have 4gb of ram?20:31
tewardsbabozz: not your fault, i'm just very busy right now i think i broke email at work xD20:32
tewardso i have to fix it20:32
sbabozzok, thanks20:33
sbabozzgood luck20:34
sbabozzwxl: how do i change the default disk space given to guest user?20:35
sbabozzI don't understand why they made it so little...20:36
sbabozzWith almost 300 GB free, guest doesn't even have 500MB20:38
sbabozzWe gotta be nice to our guests... :)20:38
tewardand i did break mail20:38
* teward fixed it20:38
sbabozzfixed it?20:39
tewardsbabozz: the 'guest account' is ephemeral.  It doesn't 'store' data outside a tmpfs typically20:39
tewardso if you give it space it won't matter every time its logged off it'll blast the data away20:39
=== lubuntu is now known as Guest59966
sbabozzYes but say the guest user wants to download a movie and watch it, he can't do it with so little space...20:39
tewardguest user should be streaming the movie not downloading then watching20:40
sbabozzyou need good connection to stream20:40
tewardneed good connection to download too :p20:40
tewardwhich means if the connection is bad it's a 'moot point'20:40
sbabozzyes but that won't be a problem when you watch it20:40
tewardand yes i fixed workplace email20:40
tewardit was my fault20:40
sbabozzgood, so you can help me :)20:41
tewardnot when it comes to the guest account20:42
sbabozzI mean when the connection is bad, downloading will be slow, but after you'll be able to watch the movie alright...20:42
sbabozzstreaming won't work20:42
sbabozzwell20:42
tewardwell I can't help you with the guest account part anyways20:42
tewardnot becuase i don't agree20:42
tewardbut because I don't know enough about that aspect20:42
tewardsince it's pretty hardly jailed20:42
teward@tsimonq2 might be able to help20:42
teward:p20:42
sbabozzyou know more than me, so i grant you permission to help me anyways :)20:43
sbabozzI won't hold you responsible...20:44
sbabozzunless you break my system of course... :)20:44
sbabozzIt's crazy with 300 GB free, to not even give guest 500MB, don't you think?20:45
sbabozzWhoever made that decision, owes a serious explanation...20:46
lubot<tsimonq2> Which version of Lubuntu?20:47
lubot<tsimonq2> Guest support is absolutely 100% on my radar, fwiw.20:48
sbabozz18.0420:48
sbabozzfwiw?20:48
sbabozzFor What It's Worth?20:49
sbabozzit's worth for me...20:49
sbabozzI want to change disk space for guest to 3GB20:50
sbabozzat least 1% of free disk space...20:50
sbabozzlubot: you don't look like a bot20:52
sbabozztsimonq2: are you here?20:53
sbabozzI found this20:55
sbabozzhttps://askubuntu.com/questions/1006781/how-to-increase-allowed-disk-space-for-guest-account20:55
sbabozzbut no solution...20:56
sbabozzI gotta close soon... But will check the channel logs later if anybody wants to answer...20:59
sbabozzThanks to all21:00
sbabozz:)21:00
