For greater security configure KWalletManager to use one wallet for local passwords and a separate one for network passwords and form data.
squelch 2017-02-23 21:47:13
can you get kwallet to autotype your sudo password?

akik: I will see if works next time
R13ose 2017-02-23 21:52:03
akik: thanks

Hi Anybody. I've been trying to install Owncloud on a raspi 2 server i have, but it's to complicated and i can't get it working. Are there any client software i can install on my ubuntu desktop, and then just sync my data to the RasPi as a SSH server.
R13ose 2017-02-23 21:57:37
What can I do to improve this?
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 22:09:30
In a shocking new development on my upgrade pandemonium, it appears all works well if I log into XFCE4 as root. I can start any app I want to, the icons and wallpaper appear.
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 22:10:42
But as my regular user, I can't run anything but xterm, the wallpaper and icons are nonexistent, and my panel's a bit wonky too
mcphail 2017-02-23 22:11:00
motie: does it have to be owncloud? You know there's a Nextcloud snap?

I am here to promote racist, sexist, misogynistic, and other intolerant and racist hate speech, for the purpose of getting this IP address permanently banned from this channel and network.
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 22:11:45
ok cool :)

Wassup baash05 :D
baash05 2017-02-23 22:16:00
My MacPro is about to die, and I about to embark on a search for a new laptop
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 22:16:09
:( poor mac pro
baash05 2017-02-23 22:16:36
Honestly I'm not fully convinced it's not the linux that I installed
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 22:16:37
On my end I've got this Power Mac from 1995 running Ubuntu 14.04 hahaha

Which reminds me, now that mr. Ban-Me isn't distracting us,
baash05 2017-02-23 22:17:23
Yeah.. I saw that.. but the list is ugly.
baash05 2017-02-23 22:17:49
I was wanting a chat.
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 22:17:54
It seems root can run xfce4 perfectly fine, while my main regular user can't.
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 22:18:45
Difference is root has everything, while main user is missing icons, wallpaper and can't run anything but xterm
baash05 2017-02-23 22:19:12
Anyone running on a chomebook?
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 22:19:20
I'm sure it's a permissions problem now, but I seroiusly don't knoew where to start fixing this :P
baash05 2017-02-23 22:19:33
I'm not really interested in power as I'm editing code most of the time.
baash05 2017-02-23 22:20:23
I was just looking at the pixel.
geodb27 2017-02-23 22:25:56
People : hi !
geodb27 2017-02-23 22:28:49
I'm running a fresh install of ubuntu LTS 16.04 on which I have only installed lxd (through the latest stable ppa). There is a dnsmasq process and I can't find how systemd launches it. Could someone help me on this ?
tcorneli 2017-02-23 22:31:54
which package installs dnsmasq?
geodb27 2017-02-23 22:40:14
Well, that's great, at least I understand things better. Here is my real problem : this dnsmasq-base tries to serve dhcp leases to my lxc containers, but it doesn't do it as expected, since it doesn't respect what's in /etc/hosts file.
geodb27 2017-02-23 22:40:44
Erf, actually none, a typo (I typed all and did not copy/paste).
yacc 2017-02-23 22:41:22
Any idea where to complain about the GoogleTalkPlugin (I don't think that 200% CPU usage on an i7 while waiting for people to join a hangout is reasonable)
Flannel 2017-02-23 22:41:24
geodb27: ACtually, in 16.04, there's also a systemd thing. I was looking at 14.04 originally (in 16.04, there's also an init.d file in addition to systemd)
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 22:42:01
Okay I think I've figured it out. Upgrading must've really messed with my user's permissions, so I'm having to create a brand new user and start over. Not a problem :)
Flannel 2017-02-23 22:42:28
geodb27: But, not sure what is starting dnsmasq if you only have -base installed.
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 22:43:02
Ergo: I now have a functional desktop!
scoopex_ 2017-02-23 22:43:02
i have a strange dns resolving behavior - nslookup/host is capable to resolve a ip address, tools like rdesktop-vrdp and firefox cannot? http://pastebin.com/9RtMi3ya - do you have any hints for me ? (i am runnung ubuntu 16.10)
Flannel 2017-02-23 22:43:02
geodb27: Oh. How about /lib/systend/system/dnsmasq.service?
geodb27 2017-02-23 22:43:07
Flannel: as far as I can get it work as expected, that's allright.
geodb27 2017-02-23 22:43:11
Let me check.
Flannel 2017-02-23 22:43:34
Oh wait, sorry, I'm back in dnsmasq not -base.
geodb27 2017-02-23 22:44:21
Indeed... And there is no such file. Could it be that the launch of dnsmasq-base is hard-coded somewhere and that there is no-way to change it's configuration at all ?
lord-ragnarock 2017-02-23 22:44:44
Well, now for my final problem. After the upgrade Ubuntu seems to think 1600x1200 is the only resolution available despite 1920x1080 having been done just before in 12.04. Any ideas? :P
