===== Quickfixes =====


==== Relaunch KDE Plasma after freeze ====
Sometimes after some weeks of uptime when I entered my office in the morning, I discovered a freezed Plasma. 
To fix this, enter the system via SSH and then execute this command:
<code bash>sudo systemctl restart sddm</code>

And without re-login:
<code bash>
kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell
</code>

-----

==== Fix NTFS file system ====

If a NTFS volume cannot be mounted due to a corrupted filesystem, it might be repairable by using ''nftsfix'':

<code bash>sudo ntfsfix -d /path/to/blockdevice</code>
Example: ''sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sda1''

After running this command the filesystem might be able to mounted again.

==== Setlocale failed Debian/Ubuntu ====
If you got any error of the following when running ''apt'' or anything else:

''locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory''

''perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C")''

''perl: warning: Setting locale failed.''

Just run the following command and select the correct locale:
<code bash>sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales</code>

Or use:
<code bash>sudo localectl set-locale en_US.UTF-8</code>

-----

==== Allow users to write to specific directory ====

To allow any user to read/write a directory adjust permissions with:

<code bash>chmod -R 0777 /path/to/dir</code>

''-R'' sets the permissions recursively.
