| pragomer | hi. just recently switched to kde. I often use vnc server/viewers to work on different machines in my house. I find that krfb / krdc are a bit "laggy" compared to e.g. vinagre or so. Do you have a recommedation about the beste vnc software regarding speed and latency? | 05:02 |
|---|---|---|
| pragomer | (krdc is even slow with lowest quality settings...) | 05:02 |
| pragomer | for example: vinagre (=gtk/gnome application) is much more performant on my kde desktop than krdc | 05:19 |
| valorie | pragomer: you should use what works for you | 06:07 |
| valorie | if that isn't KDE software, so be it | 06:08 |
| valorie | the KDE community makes great software! | 06:08 |
| valorie | but maybe not the best for every job, or every person | 06:08 |
| pragomer | any recommendations for a slick and fast vnc app? | 06:26 |

| jubo2 | How do I format a partition to EXT4 without making it so that only root can mount it? | 10:15 |
| jubo2 | coz with gparted and kde partition editor they always end up non-writable by others than root | 10:15 |
| salsa4life | add user to fstab | 10:20 |
| jubo2 | The partitions made with gparted are not writable by other than root in any system. How do I change the situation so that normal users can mount the volume | 10:20 |
| salsa4life | users i mean | 10:21 |
| jubo2 | salsa4life: does that affect gparted so that I can make disks mountable by normal user or something that affects who are able to mount it? | 10:21 |

| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 11:20 |
| Dragnslcr | jubo2- as far as I know, you can't make a partition itself mountable by everyone. Which users can mount partitions is determined by the operating system, not the partition. | 11:36 |
| Dragnslcr | If you mean making the root directory of the partition writable after it's been mounted, you can do that by changing the permissions just like you can on any directory. | 11:37 |
| salsa4life | i think with users in the fstab entry of the mount point its possible to allow it to be mounted by everyone | 12:08 |
| lordievader | Gparted has nothing to do with being able to mount a partition or not. Gparted only creates partitions on block devices, for which you need RW access to the block device. Usually reserved for root only. | 12:18 |
| jubo2 | fstab seems to be for mounting partitions automatically or almost automatically, I'd just like that when I plug in a partition it would become writable by the user and not requiring sudo to write to | 13:05 |
| jubo2 | I'd like to be able to ad-hoc attach volumes, not based on strict rules. Any help? | 13:06 |
| jubo2 | right clicking on root of EXT4 volume and selecting "Properties" does not offer any way to change them | 13:15 |
| zfoo | hot-plugging of usb/sd card storage? | 13:16 |
| jubo2 | HDD connected with a SATAIII-USB3 connector | 13:17 |
| jubo2 | So how do I remount the disk as the actual user, instead of mounting it as root? | 13:33 |
| zfoo | sudo mount -o remount,user <disk> <mount_point> | 13:35 |
| jubo2 | thanks zfoo, though can't get it to work with 'sudo mount -o remount,user /dev/sdb1 /media/juboxi/250GB\ ext4/' | 13:42 |
| jubo2 | I wish I could just make disks that can be attached and detached without a ton of hack | 13:43 |
| jubo2 | Cannot do anything in Dolphin even after that remount | 13:43 |
| jubo2 | trying to replace 'user' with my username just leads it to complaining about something. That above command runs, but does not help in actually being able to drag and drop files on Kubuntu in 2019 | 13:44 |
| jubo2 | I remember there used to be ways to make EXT4 volumes without needing to hack a ton to get them to mount so that a normal user can write stuff to them, but that was a long time ago and I don't recall how it used to be done | 13:45 |
| jubo2 | I guess this is some security improvement, but needing to take half-a-day to figure out how to use make and mount EXT4 volumes, when you'd just like a partition that does not have the NTFS shit that always breaks | 13:47 |
| jubo2 | I'd just like a way to ad-hoc mount volumes as the user of the system, but route to it seems a bit broken or very obscure | 13:48 |
| jubo2 | can malicious malware corrupt the hardware if it just is bad enough? | 14:47 |
| jubo2 | C'mon people work with me. I'm trying to get systems clean | 14:57 |
| IrcsomeBot | <plyr0> @jubo2, Maybe try … sudo chown username:username /path/to/mountpoint … sudo chmod 777 /path/to/mountpoint | 15:09 |
| jubo2 | plyr0: thanks. I don't see why I would need to 777 it as I'm the only one that needs the write rights | 15:17 |
| IrcsomeBot | <plyr0> @jubo2, Ah ok. Did it work? | 15:18 |
| jubo2 | hold on .. I try | 15:22 |
| jubo2 | plyr0: Thanks it worked | 15:26 |
| IrcsomeBot | <plyr0> 👍 | 15:27 |

| Kuub | hi | 20:19 |
| Kuub | anyone heeeeere | 20:27 |
| genii | !ask | 20:29 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 20:29 |
| Kuub | what an aspy function | 20:30 |
| Kuub | ok then | 20:30 |
| Kuub | I downloaded a deb file | 20:30 |
| Kuub | let it do its thing to see what happened | 20:30 |
| Kuub | a program called qapt package installer installed it for me | 20:30 |
| Kuub | is qapt package installer part of the kubuntu iso? | 20:31 |
| Kuub | or something I've got from somewhere else | 20:31 |
| bprompt | Kuub: judging by the name I'd think is a QT4 or QT5 package more so than a kde package per se, though kubuntu installs with QT already | 20:34 |
| genii | Yes, it's a Qt front-end to apt | 20:35 |
| Kuub | so it comes on the kubuntu iso? | 20:35 |
| genii | It's one of the packages installed when kubuntu-desktop gets installed, so yes | 20:36 |
| Kuub | oh ok | 20:36 |
| Kuub | thanks | 20:36 |
| genii | np | 20:36 |
| genii | I believe it's in the libqapt3 package, or similar | 20:37 |
| Kuub | so (i'm sure this goes without saying) that means it's safe to use? | 20:37 |
| genii | ..on deb packages which have been prepared for *buntu and the specific version you're on, it should work fine. | 20:39 |
| genii | If you download random deb files from Debian or other repositories, or other versions of *buntu it will probably tell you some error about dependencies or missing packages | 20:40 |
| Kuub | ofc | 20:40 |
| Kuub | but I mean the program itself | 20:40 |
| Kuub | is kosher | 20:40 |
| genii | Yes | 20:40 |
| Kuub | thanks | 20:40 |
