[01:02] <nickname123> hi
[01:04] <nickname123> can i tell you about a problem? kubuntu decreases screen brightness after a while. then it turns the screen off and my laptop is locked. but sometimes it happens that I move the mouse just when the screen brightness goes to zero
[01:04] <nickname123> then the computer isn't locked and instead my laptop screen is black
[01:05] <nickname123> i can still increase brightness with a keyboard

 Hi .Anybody know how to open & use Etcher to make a Live USB.I downloaded https://www.balena.io/etcher/ but then don't know what to use to open it with...Ark & Autorun Prompt didn't work
 @Shreddies, Looks like an appimage in a zipfile. You would need to extract it and run the appimage
 Thanks! Now I have the Appimage,what next.It doesn't have any programs suggested to open it with...
[10:44] <diogenes_> right click > properties make executable then double click.
 or in konsole go into the dir it is in and run ```./balenaEtcher-1.5.76-x64.AppImage &```

[11:30] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[11:57] <Prototype> hello
[11:58] <BluesKaj> hi Prototype
[11:58] <Prototype> hi BluesKaj
[11:59] <Prototype> I have been using Kubuntu since 18.04 and I'm still plagued by permissions problems lol
[12:00] <BluesKaj> Prototype, an example ?
[12:00] <Prototype> i created a new partition and named it backup,  but I cant do anything with it, so used the command sudo chmod -R ugo+rw /backup
[12:00] <Prototype> but i get a "no such directory" message
[12:04] <BluesKaj> Prototype, 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 work
[12:05] <Prototype> ah ok,  ill give the command another try
[12:07] <Prototype> hmmm..nope that made no difference
[12:09] <Prototype> oh hang on, i just reopend Gparted and noticed under the mount point it has been named _backup
[12:11] <Prototype> ok, sorted
[12:11] <BluesKaj> did you run sudo umount /dev/sdx first then chmod +x ....
[12:11] <Prototype> no idea why it put a _ in there
[12:11] <Prototype> nope,  but i re ran the command again and it seems to have worked
[12:12] <BluesKaj> ok
[12:14] <Prototype> has been a while since I have been on this site,  I have managed to convert a couple of friends over to variants of Linux since though
 Kubuntu saved enough embarrassment for me today as I was reeling without internet in a show, with a bunch of stuff pre-installed and presynced👌
 (Photo, 645x356) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/FzYf9SF0/file_23361.jpg Anybody getting this when booting?  Application: kdeinit5 (kdeinit5), signal: Aborted
[18:51] <user|95791> Hi, can you help me to solve the interface problem in inkscape.
[19:10] <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.
[19:23] <keithzg-M> Man 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.
 @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.
[19:40] <azx> I 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 apply
[19:40] <azx> yet firefox is still my default
[19:41] <azx> 'Default applications' says chromium is default
[19:41] <azx> but when i need to open links they open in firefox, and when i open chromium it tells me it's not default
[19:41] <azx> seems like a bug
[19:43] <Alabalistic> azx, do you have some snap
[19:43] <Alabalistic> I had some wiers stuff with firefox as snap
[19:46] <azx> i don't believe firefox is a snap package
[19:46] <azx> i have one snap package installed from default kubuntu install
[19:46] <azx> chromium was installed through sudo apt-get install chromium
[19:46] <azx> even when i open a link in chromium it opens in firefox
[19:47] <azx> hmm seems to open in chromium i might be wrong
[19:47] <azx> but from any other app besides chromium it will launch firefox
[19:49] <azx> i swear it wasn't working and now it's working, strange. after a reboot
[19:49] <azx> also my irc client wouldn't open links in default browser, but that seems to have fixed itself as well
[19:50] <azx> Thanks!
[23:29] <michael__> hey
[23:32] <bprompt> Hay Bartender!!! said the horse at the bar
