[00:02] i just installed fusesmb to gain access to xp folders which I now have in command line only. Anyway to get thunar to see them? [00:06] so why install xubuntu? [00:07] because it comes stock with xfce and xfce is awesome IMO [00:07] its all personal preference [00:08] what makes xfce better than KDE in ur opinion? [00:08] or GNOME [00:08] can someone help me please? as soon as my system logs in it exits back to gdm [00:09] KDE is ugly IMO and way too big xfceis just minimalistic and runs better on my system than gnome does [00:09] mindframe, is there any errors [00:10] not that i can see in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:11] hmm its not saying anything about ~/HOME not having the correct permissions [00:12] i just changed the ownership for all the files :( [02:12] is anyone here [02:31] helllo i am desperate need of help === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache [08:40] yup o/ === Lurianic is now known as Luria [09:19] hey what is the minimum system requirments to run xubuntu? Or rather what is the minimum any of you have pushed it on? [09:25] kernel [09:25] hey can I ask you some questions? [09:31] helix_: dunno about what people have done, but http://www.xubuntu.org/get [09:32] helix_: P90, 96MB ram, slow as a slug :) [09:34] honestly, there might be sleeker systems than *buntu for very low end machines, it's always run a bit heavy for me [09:36] I heard archlinux is good === Juerd_ is now known as Juerd [11:33] Hi, I'm looking for help in configuring my display settings. [13:51] how do i check version of the items in repositories? [13:52] i'm not able to check right now, but maybe 'apt-cache --help' could give you some information [13:53] ty [13:54] showpkg :) [13:55] good hehe [14:38] Hey, anyone around to give a shot at my USB quirks? [17:25] ? [17:25] anyone monitoring the room? [17:25] having a SERIOUS problem with my display... goes black about every 30secs [17:25] no keyboard response [17:26] switching to a virtual console and back fixes it..... but it even does this in a virtual console!... and in recovery mode! [17:26] I see entries like this:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53051/ in syslog every time it happens [17:37] my xorg.conf is also in there [17:38] card is an ATI Mobility FireGL 9000 [17:48] evening [19:16] I recently install FUSEsmb to gain access to xp network shares which I now have in command line. can someone tell me why thunar won't open them [19:18] cookiemonster077: is your FUSE stuff running as the same user as you, or as a different user? [19:24] I am not sure. how would i check [19:24] sorry totally new to this [19:25] cookiemonster077: you can go to the main menu -> administration [19:25] oh sorry System -> Administration -> users and groups [19:25] and add yourself to the 'fuse' group [19:26] gods [19:26] * totalwormface kicks himself [19:26] it says both myself and root are in that group [19:27] good :] [19:28] did you add the word 'fuse' to your /etc/modules file? [19:28] no i did not [19:29] however it is already there [19:29] also good [19:30] now, make a directory you wish your network will be mounted on [19:30] for example /media/network [19:30] or whatever you like [19:30] does location matter [19:30] 'sudo mkdir /media/network' for example [19:30] no, not very much [19:30] done [19:31] then do a 'sudo chmod 777 /media/network' [19:31] permission denied [19:32] ehh [19:33] did you use use? [19:33] argh [19:33] did you use sudo? [19:33] 'sudo -i' [19:34] root@Brian:~# chmod 777 /home/brian/share [19:35] chmod: cannot access `/home/brian/share': Permission denied [19:35] oh then try 'chmod -R' :] [19:36] root@Brian:~# chmod -R /home/brian/share [19:36] chmod: missing operand after `/home/brian/share' [19:36] Try `chmod --help' for more information. [19:36] hehehe sorry [19:36] what did i do [19:37] 'sudo chmod -R 777 /home/brian/share' :[ [19:37] :] [19:37] that should give no output, if it doesn't it worked :P [19:38] permission denied??? [19:39] hell that makes no sense [19:39] what happens if you go to that folder in thunar [19:40] and rightclick it [19:40] then properties [19:40] who is the owner of that file? [19:40] eh, directory [19:40] totalwormface: root has no longer full control on remotely mounted directories [19:41] root is listed as owner [19:41] hello sheep i am still fighting with this [19:41] TheSheep: yes, but fuse doesn't know yet that that folder is going to be used as a dir things get mounted on... [19:42] cookiemonster077: the folder is empty right? [19:43] if so, try 'sudo rm -r /home/brian/share' [19:43] you said fuse doesn't know. would that be the command 'fuse /home/brian/share' [19:43] no [19:43] hehehhe [19:43] sorry i just awoke, these things are hard at the moment *^_^* [19:44] rm: cannot lstat `/home/brian/share': Permission denied [19:44] * TheSheep installs smbfs to try it himself [19:44] cookiemonster077: good :] [19:45] cookiemonster077: say, what does 'ls -ald /home/brian' say? [19:45] TheSheep: fuse is already running, so you're right :] [19:45] drwxr-xr-x 20 brian brian 4096 2008-01-22 14:12 /home/brian [19:46] and /home/brian/share ? [19:47] ls: /home/brian/share: Permission denied [19:47] cookiemonster077: ls -ald [19:47] root@Brian:~# ls -ald /home/brian/share [19:47] ls: /home/brian/share: Permission denied [19:48] cookiemonster077: i guess you first need to kill fuse [19:48] so you can get full control of the folder again :] [19:48] is that a command [19:49] totalwormface: no need to kill [19:49] cookiemonster077: do 'sudo umount /home/brian/share' [19:50] hehe thank you for your better judgement *^_^* [19:50] done [19:50] good! [19:50] cookiemonster077: then remove it as root, make a directory as normal user and run 'fusesmb directory' for it as normal user [19:50] i cant disable screensaver, the screen goes blank after some time. under screensaver preferences i have disabled it on idle and put the bar to 2 hours. anyone know how i can fix this? [19:51] also for some reason i dont have /root/.Trash even after deleting stuff as root [19:51] Breakage: it goes to disk's global trash if you have writing permissions to it (and root has writing permissions msotly everywhere) [19:52] TheSheep: ah thats cool, thanks :) thought that might be the case. [19:52] done now what [19:52] Breakage: also, files deleted form the command line don't go to trash [19:52] Breakage: they are lost permanently [19:53] cookiemonster077: it hsould work now [19:53] cookiemonster077: as user [19:53] TheSheep: oh thanks, think i'll use commands to delete from filesystem :) [19:54] does the fusesmb.conf need editting [19:54] cookiemonster077: yes, if you want to use a user name and/or password [19:55] the dir change does not matter? [19:56] no, it's not configured in there [19:58] i need to reboot to check something I had an error when I booted this morning that might be important [20:02] i am back [20:03] the error did not show this time [20:05] but the new dir is still empty [20:07] cookiemonster077: run 'fusesmb new_dir' [20:07] cookiemonster077: as user [20:07] i've uninstalled gnome-screensaver that should solve my screensaver problem right :)? [20:07] Breakage: no [20:07] Breakage: it's power saving, not a screen saver [20:08] Breakage: the monitor is being puti nto low energy mode [20:08] TheSheep: damn ok thanks [20:08] Breakage: but I don't know where to change these settings [20:08] TheSheep: no probs ill google [20:09] Breakage: you might need to install the gnome power manager [20:09] ok [20:10] Breakage: and run gnome-power-preferences then [20:10] TheSheep: ok thanks :) [20:12] it ran fuse with 'sudo' but then it won't let me into the dir [20:12] permission denied [20:12] cookiemonster077: do 'sudo umount' and run the fusesmb as normal user, without sudo [20:13] sudo umount [20:13] sudo mumount directory [20:13] umount [20:15] that has done it. so all these problems are because i did all this as root [20:15] ?? [20:16] yes [20:16] funne, eh? [20:16] funny [20:17] thanks for all your help. mind if i come back with the next problem [20:18] not at all [20:18] thanks again [20:23] what should i use to sync my palm device in xfce? [20:27] !palm | mindframe- [20:27] mindframe-: A good guide for setting up Palm devices is at http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO.html#PC-CONNECT-USB [20:27] thanks [21:14] is it possible to rearrange items on the task list? [21:55] goodnight :D [21:56] HI. Does anyone use CDRW or DVD+-RW disks as rewritable disks in UDF format under Linux?
