[02:30] <Flamekebab> boosh
[02:30] <jrib> hi
[02:30] <jrib> it doesn't usually make sense to recursively set 777 on every file
[02:30] <Flamekebab> jrib, I'm not sure why when I try and apply permissions recursively they don't do it
[02:30] <jrib> how are you trying?
[02:31] <jrib> are these like documents or music files or something?
[02:31] <Flamekebab> everything
[02:31] <Flamekebab> they're going to be shared over my network
[02:32] <jrib> still 777 implies executable and music files aren't really executable
[02:34] <Flamekebab> I didn't think it'd really matter that much
[02:34] <Flamekebab> it was just less hassle than trying to remember if it was five or six that defines read and write
[02:35] <jrib> they should already have sensible permissions
[02:35] <jrib> since they are on ext3 or similar
[02:35] <Flamekebab> they're on JFS, IIRC
[02:36] <Flamekebab> and one is ext3
[02:36] <jrib> you should be thinking like this: if you want everyone to have write permissions, do: chmod a+w foobar
[02:36] <jrib> so how have you been try to set the permissions recursively?
[02:37] <Flamekebab> using -R
[02:37] <Flamekebab> a+w = access + write ?
[02:38] <jrib> a=all
[02:38] <jrib> so it will add it to user, group, and others
[02:40] <jrib> chmod -R a+w /media/foobar should work then
[02:41] <jrib> throw in a sudo
[02:47] <Flamekebab> hmm
[02:47] <Flamekebab> I can write to them
[02:47] <Flamekebab> but the samba shares deny the users who connect
[02:47] <jrib> hmm?
[02:47] <jrib> ah
[02:48] <jrib> well I know nothing about samba, have you seen:
[02:48] <jrib> !samba
[02:48] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[02:48] <jrib> https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/configuring-samba.html "File Permissions" section looks relevant
[02:48] <Flamekebab> I'm trying to figure out whether it's because the shares are JFS and EXT3, but AFAIK it shouldn't matter
[03:53] <Flamekebab> hmm
[03:53] <Flamekebab> I can now write to all the partitions, jrib, thanks
[03:54] <Flamekebab> sadly my samba problem persists
[10:29] <sllik> hi jrib
[10:29] <jrib> ignore #ubuntu-es direction :)
[10:29] <jrib> sllik: alright chmod 770 again
[10:30] <jrib> do 'su - mike', login and then try 'cd /var/www', does it still fail?
[10:31] <sllik> works
[10:31] <jrib> ah ok
[10:31] <jrib> well you need to logout and back in for the group membership to take affect
[10:31] <jrib> I thought 'groups' would only show things it knew about, but I guess not
[10:31] <sllik> so i just need to logout?
[10:31] <jrib> yep
[10:32] <jrib> su - mike  just logged you in again, so next time you login, it should work
[10:32] <sllik> nice, tnx!
[10:33] <jrib> np
[10:57] <teste> Hi everyone
[10:57] <jrib> hi
[10:57] <jrib> teste: explain what you are trying to do one more time please
[10:58] <teste> Someone here knows how to make a copy append ? like make a 6 ctrl c and paste everything with just one ctrl v
[10:59] <jrib> why?
[10:59] <jrib> what's the scenario where you would need this?
[11:01] <teste> the x3270 terminal don't have the facility of a broffice to make the mouse select everything while you press the button down so you need to make ctrl +c with every page down
[11:02] <jrib> x3270 terminal?  what is that?
[11:03] <teste> It's  a program personal communications from IBM and emulate the 3270 terminais from bank is specially designed for minframe programers something like cobol and natural
[11:04] <jrib> but it runs inside of X?
[11:04] <jrib> like gnome-terminal?
[11:04] <teste> Yes, exactly
[11:04] <jrib> I see
[11:05] <jrib> well, you might be able to script something using 'xclip' or accessing the clipboard using some other language
[11:05] <teste> I made the clipboard to file thing like xclip -o >> transfer.txt  which put my ctrl c into a file to after put on clipboard with everything
[11:05] <jrib> teste: can thix x3270 thing run inside of screen?
[11:05] <jrib> this*
[11:05] <teste> xclip can make the select?
[11:06] <teste> Yes it run inside a x screen
[11:08] <jrib> in gnome-terminal, can you type "screen" and then run it inside of that?
[11:08] <jrib> this is an alternative to what you are asking
[11:08] <jrib> in gnome-terminal, can you type "screen" and then run it (the x3270 thingy) inside of that?
[11:09] <teste> Idon't think so
[11:09] <jrib> ah ok
[11:09] <jrib> well I guess you would have to script it with xclip then
[11:10] <jrib> or do you have some language other than shell that you like?
[11:12] <teste> No one I'm weak in programing language
[11:14] <jrib> ok, then maybe we should look for something easier first then
[11:14] <jrib> have you tried 'apt-cache search clipboard' and reading the descriptions of all the packages to see if they are useful to you?
[11:14] <jrib> in particular:
[11:14] <jrib> !info glipper
[11:14] <ubotu> glipper: A clipboard manager for GNOME and other window managers. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.95.1-1 (feisty), package size 42 kB, installed size 280 kB
[11:16] <jrib> otherwise, I would bind a key to a script you write.  And the script takes the current clipboard (the ctrl-c one) and appends the current selection
[11:17] <teste> I think that xclip is doing that
[11:18] <teste> Ihave tried it before but Ididn't notice that it was fucncting but in the scripting isn't working fine
[11:18] <teste> I have tried search clipboard have xclipboard klipper and glipper
[11:18] <jrib> yes, it will take some work...
[11:19] <teste> It's a quite complicated
[11:20] <jrib> pastebin what you are trying
[11:21] <teste> I have read something about this
[11:22] <jrib> echo -e "$(xclip -o -selection clipboard)\n$(xclip -o -selection primary)" | xclip -i -selection clipboard
[11:22] <teste> Is not that paste folder for other computers?
[11:22] <jrib> that's waht I think it should be
[11:23] <jrib> it works :)a
[11:23] <teste> I will tried I just can't say how much I aprecciate  your help
[11:25] <jrib> now just set that up in a script and bind some key combination to it in xbindkeys (or whatever)
[11:27] <teste> I have this program i will make that
[11:29] <teste> thanks a lot
[11:29] <jrib> np
[11:29] <teste> if you need some help just ask All right enock@coopersystem.com.br
[11:29] <jrib> thanks
[11:32] <teste> thanks see ya
[11:32] <teste> good bye
[11:32] <jrib> bye
