It means few problems are being experienced [03:29] Not really it mean no one can help me :( [03:43] if you're looking for help with an issue, you should deiscuss the details. and if anyone knows how to overcome it, they'll respond. [03:43] !ask [03:43] 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).

Another option is to install kdeconnect and ensure to give kdeconnect full privilges on the phone. (re @IrcsomeBot: I can't get files) [04:38] Why dev mode [04:40] Dev mode will help you determine if the file transfer issue is due to the phone blocking access or the failure of dolphin? to connect to your phone. [04:42] It's a failure of mtp gnome file doesent work either [04:43] Without dev mode it work fine on windows [05:41] Enable USB Mass Storage Device mode in phone === guiverc2 is now known as guiverc [07:38] oops [07:39] must jabber client for kde?

Is there a tool that has a gui to make a hdd be active permanent so I can smb share it? [18:11] I googled, but all I see is editing in text files and such [18:16] anova- KDE Partition Manager should be able to set mount points for partitions [18:19] Dragnslcr: Loading it up right now (also installed GParted, used that on Ubuntu long ago, not sure if it was better) but I get confused a lot haha, thanks for the reply [18:20] Telegram deb version needs to be updated in Software Sources [18:21] Also Dragnslcr, does Linux work okay with NTFS partitions? I reformatted my 3rd HDD to ext4 just to be sure I get the maximum speed for writing to the HDD. [18:22] I'm trying to build my own Linux media server from Kubuntu [18:22] Shouldn't have any trouble reading NTFS partitions. I haven't checked lately if writing to NTFS is considered production-ready. [18:23] !ntfs [18:23] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [18:23] !ntfs-3g [18:23] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [18:24] Looks like ntfs-3g should work fine for read/write with NTFS partitions [18:25] It can access them but everytime I reboot I need to mount them manually. I need them to always mount as drives so I can start torrenting =D [18:27] I can view my External Hard Disk formatted in NTFS Partitioning System in Kubuntu 20.04 [18:27] ntfs-3g installed [18:34] Dragnslcr: Do I edit the mount point for the ext4 partition?? [18:34] in KDE Partition Manager [18:37] My External Hard Disk is set to automount by default [18:37] as seen via KDE Partition Manager [18:38] IrcsomeBot: How is this relevant? [18:41] im recently regularly having issues with booting and sometimes hangups of the system, i would think the GPU is the problem since it did cause some issues for a while, as you might recall me getting hundrets of gigabtytes of logfiles about issues with its soundchip in a short amount of time and thus deactivated logging but im not quite sure thats what it is, some messages ive seen during that time that booting really wasnt happening seemed [18:41] quite unrelated to GPU [18:46] though i guess the biggest problems with booting where after trying to boot from other drives i guess... [18:48] rtg: did you try a memtest on your ram? [18:50] no i did not [18:51] I would recommend you to check if ram is failing first, my experience is with repairing PC's for others, it was usually ram being faulty and causing hangs/lockups [18:51] A good tool disc I recommend is Hiren's boot disk, for it has multiple test tools without touching your OS [18:52] Loads of recovery tools as well so I always keep it in handy (even on old CD's lmao, for those real real laptops we used to deal with lol) [18:52] *real old [18:52] i see [18:55] theres definately hardware issues with the GPU based on the logs i had a problem with a few weeks ago with logfiles growing to hundrets of gigabytes of errors of severity "corrected" with the GPU audio chip. [18:56] solved that issue by turning off logging :P [18:56] at least for then that was the only issue it caused. [18:56] Have you had an update right before the issue started to occur as far as you know? I had this happen years ago, where an sudo apt upgrade messed up my driver for a video chip that had a HDMI audio driver broken. [18:57] Haha yeah, but it probably still causes micro stutter perharps while not logging =( sorry rtg [18:58] Well i dont notice much of a problem with that, allthough under load my machine sometimes can have the audio go robot if you know what i mean [18:58] I'm not a good Linux guy yet, so can't help you further than recommending Hiren for checking faulty hardware, but if that is not the case I recommend getting that driver reinstalled somehow clean [18:58] Yes, that is exaclty what I was afraid of. the "micro stutter" for something is causing a temp cpu overload [18:58] Well, yes, drivers for Nvidia cards are a bit of a problem in themselves [18:58] *temporal (not temparature) [18:59] yeah, but its rare and mostly during loading screens and such when i have a video running in the background for example [19:00] Aw. Yeah I heard. I just got started on Kubuntu again with my girlfriend her old PC, which has a AMD APU (so graphics build in the CPU) wondering how this will work.. but just need to make it into a server for torrents and such [19:00] As long as i was using windows, of course, i had no idea that that might indicate a hardware issue :D [19:00] Probably when the audio card part is being used. Maybe hardware acceleration broke and your CPU is now doing the workload by emulating? [19:01] Audio and Linux always been a problem for me. And indeed NVIDIA + Llinux = hard to keep happy [19:02] during boot i often have some graphical artifacts, too, looking a bit like static on a TV but not full screen just stripes of it. [19:03] I just wish ubuntu was more easy for people to start with. I'm still trying to get my head around how to mount drives permanently in kubuntu lol. Dragnslcr gave me some advice to use KDE Partition Manager [19:03] `hmm, that does sound like a GPU starting to fail perhaps [19:03] frankly i think my problems are not related to kubuntu. In fact i switched becouse windows wasnt working anymore after forcing an update. And, im actualy quite happy, even for gaming. [19:04] or a power supply could be as well. Sorry I cant help much more [19:04] Vulkan support is getting better. [19:04] yes [19:04] How does that game with NViDIA ? [19:05] fairly well. Frankly, hold on lemme check sthg [19:05] Does it work? Red Dead Online keeps swithcing to Vulkan on my Windows 10 PC with a GTX 970.... cant make it stop, stupid R* [19:05] Okay! [19:06] like over 1/3rd of games i own have immediate support for steamplay, dont even have to enable compatibility on those. [19:06] SteamOS/linux [19:07] Nice! my girlfriend ordered the Steamdeck so I hope they will support even more =D [19:07] I do believe this will be the new gamechanger also for Linux [19:07] https://www.steamdeck.com/en/ by Steam [19:08] How did you handle your harddisks in Kubuntu if I may ask rtg? [19:08] Mine don't automount on login. but I want to create a seedbox/mediaserver [19:09] thats my library. And thats only those that steam runs on SteamOS nativly, the others i can mostly still set compatability mode and itll work https://postimg.cc/jLrdZ7fb [19:09] I was told to use fstab but I find it difficult [19:09] Let me check that link out! [19:09] Whoa nice library man/woman! 346 games =O [19:10] Only had that in the torrent games times haha, now I can´ t afford so many haha [19:10] anova: well, im using the M.2 drive for system, theres other drives connected, dolphin will mount them when i access them its fine, not thus far using them much more than copying some of my old files and such [19:11] But do they need to be mounted by Dolphin every time you boot? [19:11] Everytrime you click them so to say [19:11] well, yeah, dolphin just does that automagicly. [19:11] of course that might not be sufficient if you want to use them for more than accessing your old files every now and then [19:11] I got 3 SATA HDD's, only the OS HDD mounts automatically. got a 3TB ext4 system and a 3TB NTFS HDD [19:13] I had a seedbox with Windows 10 but I got buggered by qBitorrent forgetting all active torrents every time I got a major Win 10 update.. also Windows Defender was using 50% of my old CPU (a 2.5 Ghz dual core) [19:13] https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-properly-automount-a-drive-in-ubuntu-linux/ [19:13] Also, Windows 10 really sucks for being online 24/7 [19:13] Thanks, let me see [19:14] Yeah, windows sucks more and more. Theres even been cases of windows update pushing buggy bios updates to people [19:14] which... yeah a bit of a problem [19:14] I was recommended to use KDE part manager, but I dont know how to setup automount with it [19:15] I want a server but I need a GUI and read Kubuntu was lightweight (Xubuntu more, but seems really outdated for me) [19:16] I hear that the desktop manager for Xubuntu is more lightweight but Kubuntu should work on a 3Ghz dual core I hope [19:16] I gave this baby another 8gb of ram so it has 16gb now, hoping I might even run some game server or something [19:18] sure [19:19] and, yes, you can go super lightweight if you really want, one time my main PC broke i used an old 133Mhz Pentium i had laying about, yes with a more modern GPU, could even play some simple games and play youtube videos in low res. [19:19] Using DSL [19:19] Damn Small Linux [19:23] I use DSL on a 500Mhz Celeron with 64 mb ram. it works, no browser though [19:25] anova- you should be able to right-click a partition and select "Edit Mount Point" [19:25] yes I did [19:25] Now I see a menu [19:33] Dragnslcr: https://postimg.cc/kRWNPZdW <-- That is what I see now [19:34] You only need to put in a path where it says "Path:" [19:34] If you don't know what options you need, then you most likely don't need any [19:36] Might be worth changing "Identify by" to UUID, but it shouldn't be a problem to leave it as Device Node [20:12] Dragnslcr: I will try Identify by UUID :) I see online Ubuntu uses this as the new default now too and I don´t want to start all my torrents over again later [20:14] What do I put in the path though? I do not understand that part. [20:15] The only danger with identifying by device node is that if your hard drives get detected in a different order for some reason, you end up with partitions mounted in the wrong locations [20:15] It should be rare on a typical desktop computer [20:16] The path is whatever location you want the partition mounted. A directory under /mnt/ is pretty standard. [20:16] Dragnslcr: I am using WD Red NAS drives, not sure if I am typical lol or if it does not matter [20:18] Okay so that will mean I create a "folder" (Windows terms) on my main HDD that links to physical other HDD's ? or am I mistaken [20:21] You create an empty directory somewhere, and enter that directory as your mount point [20:21] The root directory of the partition will then show up in the directory you created [20:21] I see. More like symbolic links in Windows terms then, thanks for explaining me more about Linux man [20:22] It redirects me to /home/anova [20:22] I suppose this is not the right location for a mount [20:22] Not really. Symbolic links are different [20:22] Yeah, you definitely don't want to try mounting a partition over your home directory [20:23] Sorry Dragnslcr, just trying to understand the mounting more, also trying to get my Raspberry Pi 400 to automount so this might help me on more systems than you think =D [20:24] If you're used to Windows, mount points are analogous to Windows' drive letters [20:24] Got an SSD for the Pi, but I find that even harder than Linux on x86/x64. ARM is a new world for this almost 30 year old lmao [20:24] Except better, because you can mount a partition in any location you want, instead of being restricted to using a single letter [20:25] Yeah, Windows copied that some time ago I think with these locations.. [20:25] You can do that easier in Win 10 now. but I never dared using it. Also because I used to run raid 0 for speed [20:26] If you're using Raspberry Pi OS, the fact that it's on ARM shouldn't make a difference. It's still a Debian-based Linux. [20:26] It does make a difference for me as you have to recompile loads of software for the architecture and I never compiled anything lol [20:27] but for the mounting it should work the same, except USB 3 host [20:27] If you're using a bunch of software that isn't available as packages, I guess [20:28] Dragnslcr: Yeah I love to mess around with it but I can not recommend it as a complete media player. Still buggy in some areas and not the best player if you are just going to throw a media OS on it. I want to start to learn to code Python on it and I think that it should be way sufficient to do that. And power efficient like crazy, 15watt max. [20:29] Also, silence is bliss. Finally a Rasperry Pi that is cooled so good, you can easily OC it to the max and still run it 24/7 [20:31] About the mounting, do I make a folder under /mnt/ and call that HDD for example and then more folders 1, 2, 3 ? or [20:51] Dragnslcr: Is /mnt/ safe to create new directories? or do I only need 1? [20:58] anova- yeah, you would create a directory under /mnt/ for each partition you want to mount [20:59] Dragnslcr: And apparently run KDE Partition Manager as root, `doh! [20:59] Name each directory whatever helps you remember what gets mounted there [20:59] It's easy to rename a directory later if you want to change the name [20:59] Yeah, like I named the HDD's, 3TB1 and 3TB2 [20:59] They are identical HDD's [21:00] Don't run Partition Manager as root [21:00] It should prompt you for your password when you start it [21:00] `hmm let me try again, it said it could not make a new directory under /mnt/ for it had no privileges [21:04] Oh, you're trying to create the directory from Partition Manager? [21:04] It did ask for my password, but when I try to create a directory under /mnt/ it says: You do not have permission to create that folder [21:04] Probably easiest to just do it from a terminal [21:05] Yes, I don't have directories under /mnt/ yet, the HDD will only mount under /media/ when accessed through Dolphin [21:05] Open Konsole, then run "sudo mkdir /mnt/yourdirname" [21:05] That should prompt for your password [21:06] Do I require a "/" after the name? /mnt/3TB2/ [21:06] No [21:07] Okay [21:10] And I do not need to mess with any of the options settings? like "Synchronous access" ? not sure what I need if I also want SMB to work, or if this already works and this means something totally different, haha [21:35] Thanks Dragnslcr, 3TB2 now successfully automounted when I checked Dolphin under /mnt/3TB2 [21:37] Now I can finally transfer all my stuff from the other HDD that is still NTFS and convert it to ext4 as well as I hear it's the best to do so since it has been on a Windows computer and NTFS writing is buggy/slower from what I hear, also I do not think I need NTFS on this system? [21:38] Maybe an odd question but do you need to defrag with Linux and ext? [21:47] No [21:49] anova: The machine will automatically do a filesystem check every so many boot cycles to make sure the filesystem is intact. But due to the differences between the way FAT/NTFS works versus ext, fragmentation of files is not a thing with ext [21:58] anova- glad it's working [21:58] genii: Thanks so much! Do you recommend health tools for Kubuntu? I'm kinda paranoid if it's about hardware health. [21:59] Dragnslcr: Yeah I am happy, going to try and use qBittorrent on this system now, unless you people know better software. KTorrent is not allowed by my private tracker. [22:00] And now I also hope it will not forget where the torrent files are due some Windows b$ happening every now and then after updates.. [22:01] anova: If your computer and drive support Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART) then you might want to make sure this is enabled in the BIOS, and install smartmontools [22:02] KTorrent has worked fine for me, so I don't have any other suggestions [22:05] I will do that genii, also thanks for the help Dragnslcr. Take care people!
