IrcsomeBot<RikMills> @Shreddies, Looks like an appimage in a zipfile. You would need to extract it and run the appimage10:42

BluesKajHi folks11:30
Prototypehello11:57
BluesKajhi Prototype11:58
Prototypehi BluesKaj11:58
PrototypeI have been using Kubuntu since 18.04 and I'm still plagued by permissions problems lol11:59
BluesKajPrototype, an example ?12:00
Prototypei created a new partition and named it backup,  but I cant do anything with it, so used the command sudo chmod -R ugo+rw /backup12:00
Prototypebut i get a "no such directory" message12:00
BluesKajPrototype, think you need to use th3e hardware designation like /dev/sdX, X being the letter assigned to the partition. Also an entry in /etc/fstab might work12:04
Prototypeah ok,  ill give the command another try12:05
Prototypehmmm..nope that made no difference12:07
Prototypeoh hang on, i just reopend Gparted and noticed under the mount point it has been named _backup12:09
Prototypeok, sorted12:11

BluesKajdid you run sudo umount /dev/sdx first then chmod +x ....12:11
Prototypeno idea why it put a _ in there12:11
Prototypenope,  but i re ran the command again and it seems to have worked12:11
BluesKajok12:12

user|95791Hi, can you help me to solve the interface problem in inkscape.18:51
michael__Hey are there any who can tell me, how to do this command "service metasploit start" when i run it, i get this message: Failed to start metasploit.service: Unit metasploit.service not found.19:10
keithzg-MMan that michael__ guy didn't wait even 10 minutes for an answer . . . although maybe he figured out on his own that he'd need to actually install metasploit first or whatever invariably very basic thing he was missing, heh.19:23
IrcsomeBot<blooalien> @michael__, He need go educate hisself on Linux/Unix (and probably basic computer) skills before tryin'a become a "pentester" or whatever he's up to.19:24
azxI want to set chromium as my default browser, when i click it's msg to 'set as default' it does nothing. additionally in the KDE GUI, i go to default applications from the start menu and set chromium as my default and apply19:40
azxyet firefox is still my default19:40
azx'Default applications' says chromium is default19:41
azxbut when i need to open links they open in firefox, and when i open chromium it tells me it's not default19:41
azxseems like a bug19:41
Alabalisticazx, do you have some snap19:43
AlabalisticI had some wiers stuff with firefox as snap19:43
azxi don't believe firefox is a snap package19:46
azxi have one snap package installed from default kubuntu install19:46
azxchromium was installed through sudo apt-get install chromium19:46
azxeven when i open a link in chromium it opens in firefox19:46
azxhmm seems to open in chromium i might be wrong19:47
azxbut from any other app besides chromium it will launch firefox19:47
azxi swear it wasn't working and now it's working, strange. after a reboot19:49
azxalso my irc client wouldn't open links in default browser, but that seems to have fixed itself as well19:49
azxThanks!19:50
