| bluesceada | Hey usrmerge failed and I tried to force it too much by solving the conflicts myself, for instance, it complained about /usr/bin/chvt and /bin/chvt both exist, since dpkg -S on both of them only showed /bin/chvt to be from any package, I removed/renamed /usr/bin/chvt - I did similar in continuation | 00:14 |
|---|---|---|
| bluesceada | Then I ran this usrmerge command again, and it was successful. I could then finish apt upgrade (it couldn't because of usrmerge). Then I rebooted, but then I can only go to the recovery console, something is broken now | 00:15 |
| bluesceada | how complicated can it be to merge /usr/bin with /bin directory, or what's the issue? Is this known? Couldn't find that much useful about usrmerge | 00:16 |

| oatmealraisin | Hey! I'm helping a friend who is new to linux, they're using 20.04 on a desktop, they're wanting to install i3. Does ubuntu use wayland or x out of the box? | 02:41 |
| === AllxiO68 is now known as AllxiO64 | ||
| sarnold | oatmealraisin: I think 20.04 was X by default; when you're at the login screen, there's probably a little gear icon, if you click that it should give you a choice of desktop sessions to run, it should say | 02:42 |
| oatmealraisin | ok, tysm! | 02:42 |
| WaV | If you don't get a definite answer, have your friend open a terminal and type: echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE | 02:43 |
| oerheks | jes, both are installed. | 02:43 |
| lotuspsychje | oatmealraisin: we also see i3 users choose ubuntu server as their base | 02:43 |
| sarnold | that's what I did, sortof; debootstrap install | 02:43 |
| sarnold | I'm not sure I'd recommend it :) you spend a lifetime trying to figure out how to configure printers and so on | 02:44 |
| sarnold | but it is impressively svelt | 02:44 |
| eater_0 | @arrayboltXE: came back to let you know I fixed it. The 500GB clone was unhappy that its partition was smaller than the table claimed; the 1TB original was corrupt. So on a new 2TB drive, i first wrote a DD copy of the 1TB drive and then on top of that I DD wrote the 500GB drive, and the new 2TB double-clone booted with everything intact! | 03:14 |
| sarnold | oof sounds like an exciting / frustrating day :) | 03:15 |
| sarnold | hooray for success in the end; did you use resize2fs or gdisk or similar to resize the filesystem to the new disk? | 03:15 |
| eater_0 | frustrating and exciting, you said it! no, i didn't resize anything. just dd, dd, reboot | 03:16 |

| l0tuspsychj3 | FKAShinobi: did you try what i suggested yesterday? | 12:28 |
| FKAShinobi | yes, no difference with Unity installed. | 12:29 |
| FKAShinobi | L0tuspsychj3 ^ | 12:29 |
| l0tuspsychj3 | what are you saying, your touchscreen doesnt work at all FKAShinobi ? | 12:30 |
| FKAShinobi | No the stylus works, but actual touch and multifinger gestures do not. | 12:30 |
| FKAShinobi | Was there anything taken out of the kernel since 14.xx? | 12:31 |
| l0tuspsychj3 | FKAShinobi: and wich unity did you try? | 12:31 |
| FKAShinobi | apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop | 12:31 |
| FKAShinobi | I didn't know there was a difference | 12:31 |
| l0tuspsychj3 | FKAShinobi: well there are a few options you can try, like the new unity flavour on 22.10 | 12:33 |
| FKAShinobi | xinput shows N-Trig Touchscreen. Is there a way to determine if it's enabled? | 12:33 |
| FKAShinobi | also xinput shows N-Trig MultiTouch | 12:33 |

| yolo | did a few updates somehow 6.1.0 kernel was installed and no longer boots, falling back to 5.15, seems like 6.1.0 did not like the nvidia driver | 12:58 |
| yolo | or something else. why LTS updated kernel | 12:59 |
| mgedmin | are you using the hardware enablement stack? it gets kernel updates every 6 months, iirc | 13:00 |
| mgedmin | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 13:00 |
| yolo | from command line update it says: The following packages have been kept back:libnvidia-cfg1-525 libnvidia-common-525 etc, then from the GUI update it happily updates whatever, are the two in sync? | 13:00 |
| yolo | don't think I'm using it though, or I don't remember | 13:01 |
| yolo | i do see oem on my grub, how to disable that EnablementStack, can't stop booting no matter what | 13:01 |
| mgedmin | at this point I'm afraid to recommend anything in case you need the oem kernel for your specific hardware | 13:03 |
| yolo | ok so I have to stay with it, changing grub to use generic kernel boot then to get by | 13:04 |
| yolo | Thanks. | 13:04 |
| mgedmin | generally to use the GA kernel instead of the HWE kernel you install linux-generic and remove the linux-hwe-whatever package | 13:04 |
| mgedmin | but there are also related xorg etc. packages | 13:04 |
| yolo | https://askubuntu.com/questions/1335453/how-can-i-disable-hwe-support-on-ubuntu-18-04 | 13:04 |
| yolo | might still work, but I can not risk to brick the system | 13:04 |
| mgedmin | you can have multiple kernels installed side-by-side and choose one from the boot menu | 13:05 |
| mgedmin | that way you can try alternatives without bricking the system | 13:05 |
| mgedmin | I'm not sure how to explain to grub which one should be made the default flavor, though, in a way that would persist after installing kernel security updates | 13:06 |
| mgedmin | do report a bug if the 6.1.0 kernel has a regression with your hardware, that way there's a chance it'll get fixed | 13:06 |
| === ledeni__ is now known as ledeni | ||
| yolo | yes though I could not even boot into 6.1.0 yet | 13:11 |
| yolo | i can report '6.1.0 failed to reboot with this nvidia card' | 13:12 |
| === ejat is now known as fenris | ||
| yolo | switch to nouveau 6.1.0 worked fine, guess nvidia driver was not updated to 6.1.0, or not well enough | 13:27 |
| mgedmin | or you need the kept-back packages to get a working driver with the new kernel | 13:27 |
| mgedmin | do you have any idea why the packages were kept back | 13:28 |
| mgedmin | (apt is a bit terrible about diagnostics for cases like this) | 13:28 |
| === ledeni_ is now known as ledeni | ||
| mgedmin | the usual reasons are (1) phased updates (which would be hilariously terribad), (2) the packages conflict with something you have installed, (3) the packages need something else that hasn't made its way into the mirror yet, in order of decreasing likelihood | 13:29 |

| fauxpride | enyc: haven't tried chromium, but i doubt it's an OS issue. vainfo doesn't list a VP9 profile, no matter what driver I chose. Apparently intel only offers "partial" VP9 HW decoding support for Skylake, and only through their "hybrid" driver. That driver is discontinued, but it's apparently still maintained somehow for Arch: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libva-intel-driver-hybrid | 14:02 |
| fauxpride | Any idea if there's any procedure for requesting it to be supported for Ubuntu as well? | 14:03 |

| enyc | fauxpride: hrrm intel ane working on their new arc gpus! hrrm good qusetion! | 14:04 |
| fauxpride | Yeah, it definitely looks to be a driver version issue, and the driver that fixes it doesn't appear to be suppoted, even if it appears to be supported by other distros, which makes me think its distribution is not blocked by Intel.

| targren | I'm trying to set up fail2ban (sshd only for the moment) on a bare-metal Jammy server. The service is enabled and running, /var/log/fail2ban.log shows the startup/restart info, but no activity, and the jail is set up mostly according to every "set up fail2ban on 22.04" page out there, except that it explicitly points to auth.log and maxretry is 2 instead of 3. I turned on pyinotify, in case it was a polling problem, but no dice. I'm | 15:31 |
| targren | watching invalid logins tick by in auth.log, and fail2ban-regex registers them as matching the filter so it should be doing *something*. | 15:31 |
| targren | A lot has changed on me since 18.04 so I figure I'm just missing something | 15:34 |
| nate | So, did 22 LTS change oom-killer, is it no longer a daemon you can disable? | 15:39 |
| tomreyn | targren: have you considered not using fail2ban, but just sshd (maybe on a non-standard port, on a separate management network, or behind a vpn), allowing only public/private key based authentication? | 15:44 |
| targren | tomreyn: It's already restricted to key-based auth. As to the rest, no. | 15:45 |
| tomreyn | targren: you'll probably find it summed up somewhere around here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fail2ban/+bugs?orderby=-id&start=0 | 15:58 |
| jhutchins | itsme5n_: We're working hard to solve that part about it being simple. | 15:58 |
| jhutchins | targren: Maybe you're not getting hit right now. | 15:59 |
| targren | jhutchins: I am, I can see the failed attempts in the auth.log, but fail2ban isn't | 15:59 |
| jhutchins | targren: So you're running an ssh daemon on a publicly exposed port 22? | 16:00 |
| tomreyn | yes | 16:01 |
| targren | Yes. Which isn't really relevant to my question. | 16:01 |
| jhutchins | No, only to the imaginary security of your system. | 16:06 |

| alkisg | The /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/firefox_firefox.desktop file contains Exec=env BAMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/firefox_firefox.desktop /snap/bin/firefox %u | 17:22 |
| alkisg | I want to create a /usr/local/bin/firefox wrapper that would launch `MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox`, but snap launchers appear to not respect the PATH concept (i.e. they use absolute URIs), any way to do what I want? | 17:22 |
| alkisg | I also can't see a dpkg-divert alternative for snap, that would allow me to override the .desktop file... | 17:22 |
| l0tuspsychj3 | one for ogra perhaps^ | 17:23 |
| alkisg | 👍️ | 17:24 |
| rfm | should be able to copy that firefox_firefox.desktop into /usr/local/share/applications and edit the Exec= line, at least I think that's the right place | 17:28 |

| alkisg | How do I install ublock origin for all users? `apt install webext-ublock-origin-firefox` => requires the firefox.deb package, so I assume it won't work for snap, and `snap search ublock` says no results... | 18:10 |
| gry | Alkisg what is wrong with firefox.deb? | 18:30 |
| alkisg | gry: absolutely nothing at all, mate and firefox.deb work flawlessly. I'm just trying to test the default gnome/snap experience. So far I have like 50 issues... | 18:35 |
| ogra | alkisg, cant you install it *inside* firefox through addons.mozilla.org ? | 18:37 |
| ogra | oh, system wide ... hmm | 18:37 |
| alkisg | Yeh it would be hard to do it manually for hundreds of students... | 18:39 |
| ogra | right ... | 18:39 |
| ogra | well, FF should use /var/snap/firefox ... and i think it also has some access to files in /etc for global profiles (there are threads and discussions somewhere on forum.snapcraft.io), not sure where to put stuff though ... | 18:40 |
| gry | Alksig, firefox has a settings folder, where you can add a folder or file with the extension that you need. Then all these users will have it. | 18:42 |

| ioria | hermano, using wayland or Xorg ? | 18:51 |
| gry | Rick89, are any bluetooth devices listed? | 18:55 |
| ogra | alkisg, i guess worst case it is surely fixable with a layout in the snap to map /usr/lib/mozilla/extensions into /var/snap/firefox/current/extensions somewhere so you could just dump it there, but that will need a packaging change ... i'm surprised that nobody complained about it yet though | 18:55 |

| eest | i am having trouble installing a physical server with software RAID, the installer crashes and after some debugging i think this is because the installer looks for disks by their WWN, and for some reason both disks in this server has the same WWN which can be inspected by calling e.g. 'lsblk -S -d -o TRAN,NAME,TYPE,MODEL,SERIAL,SIZE,WWN' where SERIAL differs, but WWN is the same, anyone else seen this? | 21:10 |
| sarnold | eest: wow, that sounds *weird*. it's not like i've seen a bunch of systems, but i've never seen anyone else mention that before :( | 21:11 |
| rick89 | My friends, the bluetooth does not work on my laptop ASUS E410MA with Ubuntu 22.04 | 21:12 |

| rick89 | https://dpaste.com/75U3UN7TN | 21:12 |
| rick89 | https://dpaste.com/75U3UN7TN | 21:13 |
| eest | sarnold: it is fairly intersting that looking in /dev/disk/by-id/ there exists a wwn- symlink, but it only points to one of the disks as can probably be expected | 21:14 |
| sarnold | eest: hah, I hadn't thought of that.. | 21:14 |
| sarnold | eest: I think there's a way to report bugs in the menu inthe upper right corner of the screen | 21:15 |
| eest | so it feels fairly broken, but not sure what to do about it, it can also be seen with e.g. '/lib/udev/scsi_id --page=0x83 --whitelisted --device=/dev/sdb' | 21:15 |
| arrayboltXE | rick89: Looking at the pastebin now. | 21:15 |
| sarnold | eest: but I'm not sure what exactly could be done differently :( do your drives have a way to set the wnn field via firmware updater or similar? | 21:15 |
| rick89 | arrayboltXE ok thanks | 21:15 |
| eest | not sure... this is seen on a Dell VEP4600, a bit of an odd machine | 21:16 |
| arrayboltXE | rick89: Can you do "lsusb | nc termbin.com 9999"? Usually Bluetooth won't show up in lspci since Bluetooth is confusingly usually attached over USB, despite being part of the WiFi internal card. | 21:16 |
| rick89 | My bluetooth is internal | 21:16 |
| rick89 | https://termbin.com/1b9r | 21:17 |
| arrayboltXE | rick89: Correct. Yet it will still show up as a USB device. Don't ask me why vendors do this, I don't know. | 21:17 |
| arrayboltXE | Yep, there it is. "IMC Networks Bluetooth Radio" | 21:18 |
| rick89 | Yes, there it is. | 21:18 |
| arrayboltXE | rick89: OK, can you also do "lsmod | nc termbin.com 9999" so I can see if the usual Bluetooth driver is loaded or not? | 21:18 |
| rick89 | https://termbin.com/qc7be | 21:18 |
| arrayboltXE | Alright, I assume that when you look in the Bluetooth settings of your system, it tells you that there is no Bluetooth device? | 21:19 |
| arrayboltXE | Or is it simply unable to find any nearby Bluetooth-enabled things? | 21:19 |
| rick89 | It doesn't turn on | 21:21 |
| arrayboltXE | OK. I see you're using a Realtek card, so let me look for drivers for it. | 21:22 |
| oerheks | i use bluez to control BT, once scanned, connected and trusted it works fine with the standard gnome tool | 21:22 |
| arrayboltXE | To be clear, your WiFi *does* work right? | 21:22 |
| rick89 | arrayboltXE https://imgur.com/a/FmH5cvQ | 21:22 |
| rick89 | arrayboltXE Yes, WiFi works well. | 21:22 |

| rick89 | arrayboltXE https://imgur.com/a/GOuVmu4 | 21:25 |
| arrayboltXE | rick89: OK, that's probably the missing package then. Try "sudo apt install linux-firmware-nonfree" and then reboot your system. | 21:25 |
| arrayboltXE | Wait... that package doesn't exist anymore? | 21:26 |

| arrayboltXE | Hmm... in says it's for some particular Broadcom chip. | 21:30 |
| arrayboltXE | rick89: OK, let's try something new. Try "sudo dmesg | grep firmware | nc termbin.com 9999" and sent that link. That will hopefully tell me if there's missing firmware. | 21:31 |
| rick89 | https://termbin.com/l5v9 | 21:31 |
| arrayboltXE | ...ok well that didn't help a whole lot. Tar. | 21:32 |
| arrayboltXE | Supposedly the kernel should support that device, so I'm not sure what's wrong. | 21:34 |
| arrayboltXE | rick89: You could try "sudo modprobe -r btusb && sudo modprobe btusb" and see if that helps. That will unload and reload the Bluetooth driver. | 21:34 |
| oerheks | again: i use bluez to control BT, once scanned, connected and trusted it works fine with the standard gnome tool | 21:34 |
| rick89 | This laptop came with Linux and the bluetooth worked | 21:34 |
| arrayboltXE | rick89: What distro did it come with? | 21:35 |
| arrayboltXE | oerheks: If his system is able to recognize the Bluetooth at all, then that might be a good thing to try. | 21:35 |
| rick89 | Endless | 21:35 |
| arrayboltXE | Which it sounds like that might be the case. | 21:35 |
| arrayboltXE | rick89: And then you installed Ubuntu and the Bluetooth has never worked on it, correct? | 21:35 |
| rick89 | Yes | 21:36 |
| arrayboltXE | oerheks: When you say you use bluez to control BT, how do you mean? I don't see any GUI tools in the bluez package. | 21:36 |

| rick89 | https://imgur.com/a/mYVufwr | 21:40 |
| arrayboltXE | Oh that's weird, it turned on and then immediately back off again? | 21:41 |
| arrayboltXE | rick89: Open a new terminal and try the "sudo dmesg | grep firmware | nc termbin.com 9999" thing again. | 21:42 |
| arrayboltXE | If that doesn't give a whole lot of data, maybe just do "sudo dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999" so I can see the whole log and look for anything interesting that happened when you did the power cycle. | 21:42 |
| rick89 | https://termbin.com/axjxj | 21:43 |
| arrayboltXE | OK, that still isn't showing anything about a failed firmware load, so I'm going to assume that the chip is almost working and simply glitching. | 21:43 |
| rick89 | https://termbin.com/j1u3 | 21:43 |
| arrayboltXE | That has me thoroughly confused. There's not hardly anything about Bluetooth in dmesg, and the bit there is doesn't say anything about the odd "instant poweroff". | 21:45 |
| arrayboltXE | rick89: Still looking to see if I can figure out what's wrong here. Thanks for your patience. | 21:47 |
| rick89 | No, thanks for your help. | 21:47 |
| rick89 | How can I know the exact model of bluetooth chip I have? | 21:48 |
| arrayboltXE | lsusb -v might tell you. You can try "sudo lsusb -v | nc termbin.com 9999" if you want to share that with me, but I don't know if that will help much. Might come in handy, though. | 21:48 |
| arrayboltXE | For me, I can see "Bus 003 Device 004: ID 8087:0026 Intel Corp. AX201 Bluetooth", so I assume it would print something similar on your device. | 21:49 |
| rick89 | https://termbin.com/yxx2 | 21:50 |
| i-garrison | rick89: it's in the dmesg actually Vendor=13d3, Product=3529 IMC Networks realtek bluetooth radio | 21:50 |
| arrayboltXE | i-garrison: Nice, I missed that. | 21:51 |
| oerheks | sudo apt install rtl8821ce-dkms https://askubuntu.com/questions/1386578/no-wifi-adapter-found-asus | 21:51 |
| oerheks | or the git down below that answer | 21:51 |
| arrayboltXE | oerheks: +1, rick89: I think the gist of that post says to just do "sudo apt install rtl8821ce-dkms". | 21:52 |
| oerheks | worth a try, the 1st step | 21:53 |
| arrayboltXE | If that comes with different firmware for the Bluetooth chip, that will almost certainly work. It's definitely the right driver for that chip. | 21:53 |
| arrayboltXE | (The WiFi chip I mean.) | 21:53 |
| arrayboltXE | And WiFi and Bluetooth are usually part of the same thing. | 21:53 |
| oerheks | i hope wifi keeps working | 21:54 |
| rick89 | I got stuck at 60% | 21:54 |
| arrayboltXE | rick89: Just give it a bit, it might take a while. | 21:55 |
| rick89 | https://imgur.com/a/L4DE5xE | 21:55 |
| arrayboltXE | Yeah, it's building the driver from source. It might stick there for a bit. | 21:55 |
| rick89 | ok | 21:55 |
| arrayboltXE | oerheks: In the event it breaks WiFi (which I don't think it will, it's the exact driver for that chip), simply uninstalling it should fix it. | 21:55 |
| rick89 | https://dpaste.org/h0wyk | 21:56 |
| arrayboltXE | Looks normal. Just give it a bit. | 21:56 |
| rick89 | It already ended | 21:57 |
| rick89 | I am gonna restart the laptop to see if it works. Give me a second. I'll be right back. | 21:57 |
| arrayboltXE | +1, see you in a bit! | 21:57 |
| oerheks | :-) | 21:57 |
| arrayboltXE | oerheks: I probably would have taken a *long* time to think of installing the other WiFi driver. Nice looking out. | 21:58 |
| rick89 | arrayboltXE Hello again. It does not work. The WiFi keeps working | 22:03 |
| oerheks | so the DKMS trick did not work, try the other GIT step | 22:03 |
| arrayboltXE | Incase the link isn't still available, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1386578/no-wifi-adapter-found-asus | 22:04 |
| arrayboltXE | oerheks, rick89: I personally would uninstall the current driver (the one downloaded with apt) *BEFORE* trying to install the driver from Git. | 22:05 |
| rick89 | how to? | 22:05 |
| arrayboltXE | sudo apt remove rtl8821ce-dkms | 22:05 |
| rick89 | will it uninstall my wifi driver? | 22:07 |
| arrayboltXE | rick89: It should leave the one you were using before, but I see your point. | 22:09 |
| arrayboltXE | Hmm... I've seen reports of there being some sort of kernel patch that fixed it or something, or some firmware something that helped. | 22:09 |
| arrayboltXE | rick89: You *might* be able to try installing a mainline kernel and see if it starts working then, but if there's any other way to fix the problem, that would be ideal. | 22:10 |
| arrayboltXE | I'm going to keep digging and see if there's other possible solutions. | 22:13 |

| leftyfb | Ntemis: make a backup, reinstall, restore from backup. That is your only option | 22:24 |
| sarnold | ouch | 22:31 |
| sarnold | honestly that feels likely to be recoverable to me, but if he's here asking for help on it then it seems unlikely to be within his skills to do | 22:32 |
| Jeremy31 | Likely have to remove the Mint source then remove foreign packages | 22:33 |
| leftyfb | nah, we've run into this before here. Pulling any packages from the mint repos overrides more than half of the Ubuntu core packages | 22:34 |
| Jeremy31 | leftyfb: That is Pin priority that Mint uses | 22:34 |
| leftyfb | You're talking hours and potentially days worth of work from someone who knows what they are doing. And that would work fine if we knew the exact state the system was in before becoming mintbuntu. It's not worth it. | 22:35 |
| sarnold | leftyfb: *ouch* yeah that sounds brutal | 22:37 |
| sarnold | leftyfb: I figured it'd be about ten packages :( | 22:37 |
| Jeremy31 | Looks like 3 files in /etc/apt/preferences.d in Mint that don't exist in Ubuntu | 22:37 |
| leftyfb | sarnold: I THINK libc6 might be one of them | 22:38 |

| Dave92f1 | I want it to leave things where I put them. | 22:42 |
| arrayboltXE | Lemme find out... | 22:42 |
| arrayboltXE | What version of Ubuntu? | 22:42 |
| Dave92f1 | Lubuntu 2204 LTS. | 22:43 |
| Dave92f1 | Let me correct what I said a little bit. It does that if I move a file (example: a PDF). It doesn't do that if I move a launcher. | 22:44 |
| arrayboltXE | Dave92f1: Annoyingly, it looks like an iceon stops automatically moving once you've moved it and put it back once. | 22:44 |
| arrayboltXE | So you *might* have to move each individual icon, then put it back where it was, in order to get it to allow you to control everything. | 22:45 |
| arrayboltXE | Once I do that, it looks like it does things the way you're hoping for it to. | 22:45 |
| arrayboltXE | Lemme reboot the test system and see if it sticks.\ | 22:45 |
| arrayboltXE | Yeah, looks like things persist after a reboot. | 22:46 |
| Dave92f1 | arrayboltXE: Hey, yeah that did it! I selected ALL the icons with the mouse (a big rectangle selection), moved them all a bit to the right, then back again. Now they stay where put. | 22:46 |
| arrayboltXE | Oh nice, I didn't think to do that. \o/ | 22:46 |
| Dave92f1 | arrayboltXE: Do I need to do it again for all new files? | 22:47 |
| arrayboltXE | Unsure, but I think so. | 22:47 |
| arrayboltXE | I don't know if there's anyway to turn off sorting in PCManFM-Qt. You might look in the preferences. | 22:48 |
| Dave92f1 | arrayboltXE: That sucks. I'm on the edge of swapping DEs anyway. Do KDE and GNOME and Cinnamon do the same thing? | 22:48 |
| arrayboltXE | (PCManFM-Qt is the part of Lubuntu that handles desktop icons.) | 22:48 |
| arrayboltXE | I hardly ever use desktop icons so I don't actually know. | 22:48 |

| Dave92f1 | Nothing obvious in Edit>Preferences for PCManFM-Qt. (This seems stupid to me. Doesn't everyone what things to stay where they put them? If they move around by themselves, how will you know where to find them?) | 22:50 |
| rick89 | ok | 22:50 |
| arrayboltXE | rick89: Sorry, I've gotten slightly distracted by personal stuff, I might be a bit before I can resume troubleshooting. | 22:54 |
| Hans | You guys and girls are really good at computer right | 23:02 |
| Hans | I have a problem. | 23:02 |
| Hans | So I set up a file server at home running and really old Ubuntu OS. I access the server from my windows computer. I did this about 15 years ago, not know much about Ubuntu (having only used in on occations for fun). | 23:02 |
| Hans | I thought it was a smart idea, allocating space for me and my daughter on the server. | 23:02 |
| Hans | Now my daughter, now married and has not been living at home for over 10 years, wants her files on the Ubuntu server. So I thought this will be easy - I'll just change the permissions to me and send them to her. As I am an administrator on my Ubuntu sever, I thought I'd just log in and change it. | 23:02 |
| Hans | But I can't. I've tried grafic OS and also the terminal with chmod, but whatever I do the servers tells me to fck off. | 23:02 |
| Hans | Is there a super user mode I must use and if so - how do I use it. | 23:02 |
| === root is now known as Guest6247 | ||
| ravage | Hans: sudo | 23:04 |
| leftyfb | they left | 23:05 |
| ravage | oh | 23:05 |
| leftyfb | they asked for help and left 1 minute later | 23:05 |
| rick89 | bye friends | 23:07 |
| rick89 | thanks for your help | 23:07 |
| rick89 | a cookie for everyone | 23:08 |
| arrayboltXE | Gah, and now I'm back! | 23:11 |
| * arrayboltXE is slightly frustrated | 23:11 | |
