| thewarden | Hi. I'm new to ubuntu but not linux/unix. I'm trying to figure out how to store files in a central location on the same machine for all people to use. | 19:48 |
|---|---|---|
| johnny | that's always a good question.. one not resolved | 19:49 |
| thewarden | I created the directory /usr/podcasts but when I use gPodder it will not let me use that folder. I chmo'd 777 to the directory. | 19:49 |
| thewarden | how can I do this ? | 19:49 |
| johnny | i usually put stuff like that in /usr/local | 19:49 |
| johnny | /usr/local/shared or /shared | 19:49 |
| johnny | or something | 19:49 |
| thewarden | oh yeah that is a good idea, however your saying I can't do this? | 19:49 |
| johnny | you should change the owner of the folder | 19:49 |
| johnny | all your users who are going to use that folder should be in whatever group you want | 19:50 |
| thewarden | oh what group is that or do I need to create one? | 19:52 |
| thewarden | oh I chmoded the podcasts directory but forgot about changing the group, so this is why? | 19:52 |
| johnny | you prolly need to create one | 19:55 |
| thewarden | argh, gotta be the group issue as I gave permissions but still get an error trying to get gPodder to use that directory. | 19:55 |
| johnny | and then add your users to it | 19:56 |
| johnny | and then, logout for your current user | 19:56 |
| thewarden | okay, is there a gui in Ubuntu to do this or all terminal work? | 19:56 |
| johnny | for adding groups? | 19:57 |
| johnny | there is a gui | 19:57 |
| johnny | altho i personally never use it :) | 19:57 |
| thewarden | really ? | 19:57 |
| johnny | it's in adminstration | 19:57 |
| johnny | i'm not logged into my ubuntu box.. but it's users & groups or something | 19:57 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 19:59 |
| LaserJock | I use it all the time | 19:59 |
| thewarden | ahh I forgot about that, thanks. | 19:59 |
| thewarden | mm could I just use the users group ? | 19:59 |
| johnny | think so | 20:00 |
| thewarden | okay, so I still need to logout then log back in for the changes to take affect? | 20:01 |
| johnny | yes | 20:01 |
| johnny | for your own user | 20:01 |
| thewarden | this whole gui thing is taking me for a spin.. use to always being in the terminal. Mainly used OpenBSD for the most of my experience. | 20:02 |
| thewarden | okay | 20:02 |
| johnny | well you can do the terminal thing if you want :) | 20:03 |
| johnny | i always do | 20:03 |
| johnny | but i have used the gui things a few times | 20:04 |
| johnny | just so i could point people to them | 20:04 |
| LaserJock | I like guis when they work | 20:04 |
| thewarden | agreed LaserJack | 20:04 |
| thewarden | okay I have 755 and root:users now on the directory called podcasts. | 20:06 |
| thewarden | I'll try logging out now and see if this works. Thanks for the help! | 20:07 |
| thewarden | Hi. Okay I created a directory /usr/local/share/podcasts. chown root:users and chmod 755 on the directory. Added myself and other users to the users group. | 20:17 |
| thewarden | then logged out of the account and re-logged back in. Still I get an error from gPodder saying "Error Moving Downloads" to this shared directory I'm trying to setup. | 20:18 |
| thewarden | what else can there be that I could be doing wrong here?? This shouldn't be hard. | 20:18 |
| LaserJock | thewarden: is it writable by the users group? | 20:18 |
| thewarden | LaserJock: ahh ops no. for now I chmod 777 on the directory. closed gPodder and loaded it again. Still get the "Error Moving Downloads". | 20:21 |
| LaserJock | wierd | 20:21 |
| thewarden | geez what could be the problem here.... done this many times on other OSs no problem. | 20:22 |
| thewarden | maybe its the application | 20:22 |
| LaserJock | so what is the output of /usr/local/share/podcasts and groups | 20:22 |
| thewarden | output, what do you mean? you want to see /etc/groups? | 20:22 |
| LaserJock | no, you can just type groups | 20:23 |
| LaserJock | tells you what groups you belong to | 20:23 |
| LaserJock | just making sure everthing is consistent | 20:23 |
| thewarden | thewarden adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip video plugdev users scanner fuse lpadmin admin netdev powerdev | 20:23 |
| thewarden | drwxrwxrwx 2 root users 4096 2008-04-05 12:53 podcasts | 20:24 |
| LaserJock | sure looks write | 20:24 |
| LaserJock | looks like maybe a gPodder problem | 20:24 |
| LaserJock | heh, *right | 20:24 |
| thewarden | argh... and I liked that application as Miro is to bloated for my liking. Mmmmm | 20:25 |
| thewarden | anyone have a suggestion of a aggregater to get podcasts? | 20:28 |
| thewarden | must handle video and audio | 20:29 |
| thewarden | yup its gPodder I would say. as I just downloaded a podcast to /usr/local/share/podcasts with Miro and it worked fine. Maybe try one more thing with gPodder to toast all my settings to start fresh and try once more. | 20:34 |
| LaserJock | yeah, it seems like it would be odd for gPodder to do that | 20:36 |
| thewarden | where is gpodder settings kept? I don't see a gpodder directory in ~. just a location for downloads. | 20:36 |
| LaserJock | would it possibly be in .gnome2/ ? | 20:36 |
| thewarden | ahhh found it ~/.config/.gpodder | 20:36 |
| * thewarden crosses his fingers | 20:37 | |
| thewarden | nope same issue I get "Error Moving Downloads". Funny thing is I don't have anything downloaded anymore. | 20:39 |
| thewarden | oh well no gPodder for now. | 20:39 |
| LaserJock | thewarden: you might file a bug report if you have time | 20:41 |
| thewarden | LaserJock: sure thing, where do I go? | 20:41 |
| LaserJock | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gpodder/+filebug | 20:41 |
| LaserJock | gotta run some errands, bbl | 20:43 |
| thewarden | ok thanks | 20:46 |
