Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • Sounds like maybe the plasma config got screwed, and now the default panel (the taskbar) is off-screen somewhere. This can happen when you change the monitor layout.

    The primary monitor checkbox disappears when there is only one monitor enabled, because with just one, it is ALWAYS the primary monitor.

    You should be able to go back to two monitors by switching to the other monitor using the drop-down menu, and checking the “enabled” box there.

    Let me get back you with more details about what you can do.

    Edit: You should be able to simply right click anywhere to get a context menu. In it, go “add panel>default panel”. This will add a new default taskbar to the current screen.

    It’s likely the panel you had before is still somewhere. To try to find it, right click again, then click “enter edit mode”. In the top left you should find “manage desktops and panels” which should get you to a window that lists any disconnected “screens” and the panels that may be stuck in them.

















  • Ah. That’s right. You need to use the uid as the network share doesn’t have permissions the way a local partition would. Normally it’s unneeded, as the drive, folder and file permissions are set on the drive, and those are the ones that matter once it is mounted.

    Note that the uid only sets access permissions. It does not actually mount the share as you, so you’ll still need to be root to unmount it, unless you change user to users.



  • I’ve not really seen anything abut Charlie that makes me dislike the guy.

    Obviously he’s achieved great success, and is financially well off. From what I can tell, he tries to do some good from that position, if with a somewhat naïve approach.

    In what I’ve seen, he can be a little mean-spirited, but he does it with a jokey tone I forgive a lot more easily than the type of shit-talk you see from people like PirateSoftware.

    Thor gets really ugly with words when the describes what he thinks of SKG.


  • The option you’re looking for is users, not user.

    user makes it so that any user can mount, but only the same user can unmount. Meaning, since root is mounting it on boot, root has to be the one to unmount it, too.

    users allows any user to mount, and any user to unmount.

    Not sure what’s on going with Pika. Who mounts the share shouldn’t matter, as the folder permissions should be the same regardless.

    Do you have a uid option set?
