| Sachse_Siechtum | How can I change floppy mount only for root? | 00:09 |
| `mOOse` | guys - is there any relief from the crap fonts that I have to endure when I use firefox? | 01:26 |
| `mOOse` | is there truetype-equivalent-font-set someplace? | 01:26 |
| robertzaccour | i'm on an iMac and i can't figure out how to boot xubuntu i have on a usb flash to install | 02:01 |
| robertzaccour | can anyone help please? | 02:01 |
| robertzaccour | anyone? | 02:05 |
| robertzaccour | does anyone know how to install xubuntu on an imac with a usb flash drive? i already have it on the usb | 02:06 |
| `mOOse` | since I have zero experience with macs I don't think it's in your best interest that I help you - if someone DOES have the experience I'm sure they'd chime in | 02:07 |
| robertzaccour | i'm tryin to install xubuntu on my imac and i need help | 02:44 |
| robertzaccour | all i have is a usb flash drive with xubuntu no discs | 02:45 |
| robertzaccour | and i don't know how to boot it | 02:45 |
| robertzaccour | i tried holding the option key and it just brings up the HD icon and that just boots the mac desktop | 02:45 |
| robertzaccour | can anyone help? | 02:45 |
| robertzaccour | anyone here? | 02:47 |
| robertzaccour | this sucks | 02:49 |
| `mOOse` | everybody's here | 02:49 |
| `mOOse` | have you done any research? say...google? | 02:50 |
| robertzaccour | lots | 02:50 |
| `mOOse` | and what has your research told you? | 02:50 |
| robertzaccour | i tried holding option key and c and the apple logo key | 02:50 |
| robertzaccour | all option does is bring up HD icon and it just boots to the desktop | 02:50 |
| robertzaccour | the other keys did nothing | 02:50 |
| `mOOse` | that's a lot of research, yep | 02:51 |
| `mOOse` | how about google? | 02:51 |
| robertzaccour | for hours | 02:51 |
| `mOOse` | so do you think there's the slightest chance that maybe people don't install ubuntu on imacs for a reason? | 02:52 |
| robertzaccour | i dunno | 02:52 |
| robertzaccour | i decided i prefer xubuntu thats all | 02:52 |
| `mOOse` | that the architecture is not compatible to the code? | 02:52 |
| `mOOse` | that's fine but | 02:53 |
| robertzaccour | it supposedly is | 02:53 |
| `mOOse` | who supposed that/ | 02:53 |
| pleia2 | robertzaccour: might want to post your question to ubuntuforums | 02:53 |
| * pleia2 doesn't have any experience with xubuntu on macs either | 02:53 | |
| `mOOse` | I mean if it's doable then you know there's a howto out there someplace | 02:54 |
| `mOOse` | and if you googled it like you said you did then you'd have some notion of how to go about installing it | 02:54 |
| robertzaccour | mac doesn't operate my sub flash drive properly | 02:54 |
| `mOOse` | well there's your first problem | 02:55 |
| robertzaccour | i read hold down the option key, all that does is bring up the HD icon which boots the desktop | 02:55 |
| robertzaccour | not a problem | 02:55 |
| `mOOse` | why not download the iso and burn it to a cd and install it that way? assuming it's possible to install at all | 02:55 |
| robertzaccour | i'm tryin to boot from the flash drive | 02:55 |
| robertzaccour | what key do i hold to boot from the flash drive? | 02:55 |
| `mOOse` | yes, ad nauseum - we know that | 02:55 |
| robertzaccour | i don't have a cd | 02:55 |
| `mOOse` | no idea - I don't have an imac! | 02:55 |
| `mOOse` | is this a power pc? | 02:56 |
| `mOOse` | or intel? how old is it? | 02:56 |
| robertzaccour | intel | 02:57 |
| robertzaccour | 3 years i think | 02:57 |
| `mOOse` | well once again, being at a crippling disadvantage I googled and got 137,000 hits on "boot flash drive imac key"... | 02:58 |
| `mOOse` | and again not having a clue WHAT model you ACTUALLY have because you haven't told us, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28326 tells me that you can't install from a usb port | 02:59 |
| `mOOse` | but then again - who knows? | 02:59 |
| robertzaccour | that article is 2005 | 02:59 |
| robertzaccour | irrelevent | 02:59 |
| `mOOse` | welp - how bout you finding the relevant article then? | 03:01 |
| robertzaccour | i've been looking for hours. scroll up | 03:01 |
| `mOOse` | yes I can read quite well thanks | 03:01 |
| robertzaccour | cool | 03:02 |
| `mOOse` | again - without knowing what model you have it's pretty difficult to help you | 03:02 |
| robertzaccour | Model Name:iMac | 03:02 |
| robertzaccour | Model Identifier:iMac5,2 | 03:02 |
| `mOOse` | http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-1.83-17-inch-specs.html | 03:03 |
| `mOOse` | would that be it? | 03:03 |
| `mOOse` | listen - gotta run - good luck | 03:04 |
| robertzaccour | yes thats it | 03:04 |

| robertzaccour | i booted xubuntu karmic on my intel imac and got to the boot screen and it wouldn't go past the black screen after the white mouse in the middle | 04:39 |
| robertzaccour | is this a known issue? | 04:40 |
| robertzaccour | should i try ubuntu instead of xubuntu? | 04:40 |
| syn-ack | robertzaccour: it's a known issue. | 04:42 |
| syn-ack | It was a bug in xserver-xorg-intel for me | 04:43 |
| robertzaccour | is there any xubuntu/ubuntu version that will work? daily build maybe? | 04:43 |
| robertzaccour | or should i just give up? | 04:43 |
| syn-ack | Well, Mine is working now... have you updated to the latest packages? | 04:44 |
| syn-ack | robertzaccour: actually do this | 04:44 |
| robertzaccour | do what? | 04:44 |
| syn-ack | ALT, CTRL F1 and log into your console, then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 04:44 |
| syn-ack | Then reboot | 04:45 |
| robertzaccour | i'm in mac now, xubuntu won't boot to the desktop | 04:45 |
| syn-ack | right | 04:45 |
| robertzaccour | it shows the white mouse in the center of the screen then goes black and doesn't go to the desktop | 04:45 |
| syn-ack | Go to your virtual terminal | 04:45 |
| syn-ack | you don't need x for that | 04:46 |
| robertzaccour | how do i go to virtual terminal? | 04:46 |
| syn-ack | youre in a mac... apple ctrl f1 | 04:46 |
| robertzaccour | i'm not using virtualbox | 04:46 |
| syn-ack | ugh | 04:46 |
| syn-ack | dude did I say anything about virtualbox? | 04:47 |
| syn-ack | Do what I told you please | 04:47 |
| syn-ack | press apple ctrl and f1 | 04:47 |
| robertzaccour | its not opening anything | 04:47 |
| syn-ack | do you have an alt key? | 04:47 |
| robertzaccour | yes its alt and option | 04:48 |
| syn-ack | ok so alt opt and f1 then | 04:48 |
| robertzaccour | still nothing | 04:48 |
| robertzaccour | running snowleopard | 04:48 |
| syn-ack | then boot to ubuntu | 04:48 |
| syn-ack | ugh | 04:48 |
| robertzaccour | so i should try ubuntu instead of xubuntu? | 04:49 |
| syn-ack | you need to boot ubuntu, then do that key combo, login and upgrade your system | 04:49 |
| syn-ack | no | 04:49 |
| syn-ack | just do what I ask, please | 04:49 |
| robertzaccour | on the black screen? | 04:49 |
| syn-ack | yes | 04:50 |
| robertzaccour | ok brb thanks | 04:50 |
| syn-ack | when you press that key combo, you'll be greeted with a text login, log in then do what I asked you to | 04:50 |
| robertzaccour | i'm back | 04:58 |
| robertzaccour | screen stayed black | 04:58 |
| robertzaccour | still having problems booting into xubuntu | 04:59 |
| syn-ack | did you get to VT1? | 05:00 |
| robertzaccour | no i got to the black screen past the white mouse | 05:01 |
| syn-ack | did it have any writing on it? | 05:01 |
| robertzaccour | there was right before the white mouse but just for a couple seconds, that was before i pressed anything | 05:01 |
| syn-ack | and did you do the ctrl alt F1 combo? | 05:02 |
| robertzaccour | yes i did | 05:04 |
| robertzaccour | nothing changed | 05:04 |
| syn-ack | It should have. | 05:04 |
| syn-ack | I mean, it works for me then and now just fine | 05:04 |
| robertzaccour | maybe i should try alternate iso | 05:05 |
| syn-ack | robertzaccour: it's got nothing to do with your iso | 05:05 |
| caimlas | robertzaccour, hi, it looks like you're trying to use Linux. Would you like help? | 05:05 |
| robertzaccour | yes please | 05:05 |
| syn-ack | it would have done it on Ubuntu as well | 05:05 |
| syn-ack | listen | 05:05 |
| robertzaccour | ok | 05:05 |
| syn-ack | robertzaccour: do you have another system from which you can log into here | 05:05 |
| syn-ack | ? | 05:05 |
| caimlas | robertzaccour, do what syn-ack said, then read/do this if it doesn't fix it: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-how-to-reconfigure-x-windows-system-xorg-server/ | 05:06 |
| bazhang | this is on a mac though, correct? | 05:06 |
| caimlas | if that doesn't work, maybe go back to OSX and stay there. | 05:06 |
| robertzaccour | yes on an imac right now | 05:06 |
| syn-ack | bazhang: yeah, but it shouldnt matter since the key combo is the same | 05:06 |
| syn-ack | correct? | 05:06 |
| caimlas | robertzaccour, we gathered that. | 05:07 |
| bazhang | intel imac right? | 05:07 |
| robertzaccour | yes | 05:07 |
| bazhang | sorry to be late to the proceedings, so missed some details | 05:07 |
| syn-ack | bazhang: he's been hit by the intel xserver bug that was just fixed | 05:08 |
| robertzaccour | i try to boot the live cd and it doesn't go past the black screen right after the the white mouse after selecting boot live/install | 05:08 |
| bazhang | syn-ack, ouch | 05:08 |
| robertzaccour | it was fixed? | 05:08 |
| syn-ack | I've been trying to get him to log into the console to log in and and update his system | 05:08 |
| syn-ack | yes, it was. Today | 05:08 |
| caimlas | syn-ack, that was -just- fixed? god, that problem was bothering me a year ago :-o | 05:08 |
| robertzaccour | i need to update mac? | 05:08 |
| bazhang | ah right, sorry to interrupt syn-ack | 05:08 |
| caimlas | if it's the same bug | 05:09 |
| bazhang | have to get lunch anyway :) | 05:09 |
| syn-ack | robertzaccour: you need to update the software, not the hardware | 05:09 |
| syn-ack | caimlas: it was a new one. :/ | 05:09 |
| caimlas | robertzaccour, think of it as a "driver issue" | 05:09 |
| caimlas | syn-ack, hmm. | 05:09 |
| robertzaccour | how do i fix it? | 05:09 |
| syn-ack | robertzaccour: you need to log into the console and update your system | 05:09 |
| caimlas | syn-ack, doesn't Ubuntu lock people out of going to VTs by default now? | 05:10 |
| syn-ack | no | 05:10 |
| caimlas | ctl-alt-bk is, at least | 05:10 |
| caimlas | or was in 9.04 | 05:10 |
| robertzaccour | whats VTs? | 05:10 |
| syn-ack | they lock zapping by default | 05:10 |
| robertzaccour | maybe i should use the daily build | 05:10 |
| syn-ack | NO | 05:10 |
| robertzaccour | ok | 05:10 |
| caimlas | robertzaccour, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_console | 05:10 |
| syn-ack | it's a simple fix if you'd just relax. | 05:10 |
| syn-ack | robertzaccour: so, do you have another system from which you can log into here while working on that mac? | 05:11 |
| caimlas | robertzaccour, Ctl-Apple-F1 or some similar key combination to get to a VT | 05:11 |
| robertzaccour | no i don't | 05:11 |
| robertzaccour | actually the ps3 | 05:11 |
| robertzaccour | it has a web browser | 05:11 |
| robertzaccour | but no irc | 05:11 |
| syn-ack | ok, so reboot to ubuntu and do what caimlas just said | 05:11 |
| robertzaccour | so i guess i don't | 05:11 |
| syn-ack | you will be greeted with a text login | 05:12 |
| syn-ack | enter the username | 05:12 |
| syn-ack | enter the pass | 05:12 |
| syn-ack | sudo apt-get update | 05:12 |
| caimlas | robertzaccour, might be Ctl-Apple-F1 might be Apple-Ctl-F1 might be some other key combo. | 05:12 |
| caimlas | WRITE IT DOWN | 05:12 |
| robertzaccour | i have never installed ubuntu on this system yet | 05:12 |
| syn-ack | wait | 05:12 |
| syn-ack | what | 05:12 |
| caimlas | ... | 05:12 |
| robertzaccour | i'm tryin to install it | 05:12 |
| syn-ack | so you're not dual booting? | 05:12 |
| syn-ack | ugh | 05:12 |
| robertzaccour | i've only got mac on it | 05:12 |
| robertzaccour | tryin to install xubuntu | 05:13 |
| syn-ack | Ok so get the daily then | 05:13 |
| robertzaccour | it should work fine? | 05:13 |
| syn-ack | that issue is Casper related, not xserver x org related | 05:13 |
| syn-ack | it should if they solved the casper issue | 05:13 |
| robertzaccour | xubuntu or ubuntu daily? | 05:13 |
| syn-ack | well what are you looking to run? | 05:14 |
| robertzaccour | xubuntu | 05:14 |
| syn-ack | then grab that daily | 05:14 |
| robertzaccour | but i'm not sure which is more intel mac friendly gnome or xfce | 05:14 |
| syn-ack | define "mac friendly"\ | 05:14 |
| robertzaccour | hardware friendly sorry | 05:15 |
| robertzaccour | less bugs on this hardware | 05:15 |
| caimlas | syn-ack, I think I know how to fix it | 05:15 |
| caimlas | robertzaccour, are you on OSX right now? | 05:15 |
| syn-ack | don't. :P | 05:16 |
| syn-ack | no larts for you, caimlas! :P | 05:16 |
| caimlas | don't what? I'm trying to help. | 05:16 |
| syn-ack | I thought you were going to tell him to stay there. :P | 05:16 |
| robertzaccour | yes i am | 05:16 |
| robertzaccour | downloaded daily right now | 05:16 |
| syn-ack | robertzaccour: just grab the xubuntu daily | 05:16 |
| syn-ack | then try try again | 05:16 |
| robertzaccour | 9 minutes left | 05:16 |

| robertzaccour | i can skip verifying right? | 05:33 |
| syn-ack | I would verify just to be on the safe side, but you can, sure | 05:34 |
| robertzaccour | its a cd-r so i can't use it again anyway | 05:34 |
| robertzaccour | time to try again brb thanks | 05:34 |

| ubuntu_ | thanks yall | 05:44 |
| ubuntu_ | this kicks mac's ass, i fell for the mac looks and soon realized its shitty | 05:45 |
| syn-ack | congrats and please watch the language | 05:46 |
| ubuntu_ | oh sorry about that | 05:46 |
| syn-ack | but yea, I have the same hardware you do for a LOT less than you paid. :D | 05:46 |
| ubuntu_ | figured kids are away and didn't think | 05:46 |
| ubuntu_ | really? | 05:46 |
| ubuntu_ | i paid 725 | 05:47 |
| ubuntu_ | it performs a lot better than mac thats for sure | 05:47 |
| ubuntu_ | till recently i was using a netbook | 05:47 |
| syn-ack | I paid a little less than that for this machine | 05:48 |
| ubuntu_ | oh cool | 05:48 |
| syn-ack | anyway, if you want to be of please go to #xubuntu-offtopic and I will gladly talk to you there | 05:48 |
| ubuntu_ | and i thought i got a good deal haha | 05:48 |
| ubuntu_ | super | 05:48 |
| caimlas | I paid a little more than $725 | 05:49 |
| caimlas | but I also got a lot more machine, I suspect. | 05:49 |
| syn-ack | heh | 05:49 |
| caimlas | it will last me 3 more years w/o upgrade, I suspect. | 05:49 |

| l4ng1t | anyone know about qmail? | 08:36 |
| l4ng1t | i already setup but can't use smtp | 08:36 |
| knome | l4ng1t, you always need to auth w/ gmail, even smtp | 08:50 |
| l4ng1t | oh.. | 08:51 |
| l4ng1t | knome, even i use it for everybody who connected at my network? | 08:51 |
| knome | gmait smtp is *not* public | 08:52 |
| knome | it's meant to be used by single users with their own auth info | 08:53 |
| knome | you should ask your isp for public/general smtp access | 08:53 |
| likemindead | My speakers make a crackling noise when I'm using WiFi, kind of like when your mobile phone is near a speaker and it makes distortion noise. Know what I mean? Any ideas? | 10:31 |
| likemindead | It wasn't an issue before Karmic. :-\ | 10:32 |
| eXpl0i7 | move the phone on some other place :D | 10:32 |
| likemindead | No, it's not the phone, it's my laptop doing it on its own. | 10:34 |
| likemindead | I found some posts online saying that they stopped their speakers from crackling by commenting out the last line of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf but it didn't work for me. | 10:35 |

| blip- | you;'ve only got 57 that's why | 13:25 |
| Soul_Shadow | what? | 13:25 |
| blip- | i have no idea what broadwave is, sorry. but in general the proper approach is to just ask the questions... and wait | 13:25 |
| Soul_Shadow | I have broadwave installed lame encoder & lame acm encoder installed for it & now its acting like its mising mp3el again & will not even run... any suggestions? | 13:25 |
| blip- | in some channels, I ask the question and leave my computer. few hours later I get a useful answer | 13:26 |
| Soul_Shadow | sigh... Time I little of :( | 13:26 |
| Soul_Shadow | trying to set up a linux internet radio server | 13:26 |
| blip- | Soul_Shadow: ask in #ubuntu also. this isn't xubuntu specific | 13:29 |
| Soul_Shadow | #/join #ubuntu | 13:31 |
| WierdAAR | Hello everybody, I just installed Xubuntu and I am wondering what manager to use to connect to my Creative Zen? I used Gnomad2 on kubuntu, but maybe there is a app more native to Xubuntu? | 13:37 |

| Lusule | hi guys, i'm having a problem with my new xubuntu install, it works fine when i first load it, then i update, and later it decides it's not going to let me log in - it sends me to the log inscreen (even though I told it not to) and hten when i log in, looks like it's going to work, but hcanges its mind and sends me back to login in an endless loop | 14:00 |
| TheSheep | Lusule: make sure you select session at login | 14:09 |
| Lusule | TheSheep: I have | 14:09 |
| TheSheep | there might be two with the same name, try both | 14:10 |
| Lusule | i have | 14:10 |
| TheSheep | there was a bug... | 14:10 |
| Lusule | there are two xfce sessions and they both boot me back to gdm | 14:12 |
| Psilocybin_Elf | Hi guys, I got a kernal update on Xubuntu 8.10 the other day, does anyone know which version it was? I can't remember... | 14:23 |
| Psilocybin_Elf | Or is there a command to get the kernal version listed? | 14:23 |
| bittin` | uname -m | 14:23 |
| Psilocybin_Elf | Cheers :-) | 14:24 |
| Sysi | i use -a usually | 14:24 |
| bittin` | or uname -s i mean :< | 14:24 |
| Psilocybin_Elf | Oh yeah, thanx :-) | 14:24 |
| bittin` | or -a :) | 14:24 |
| bittin` | iam in other minds at the moment :D | 14:24 |
| Psilocybin_Elf | Hehehe | 14:26 |
| Lusule | okay, i did sudo stop gdm, then startx, and that loads it up fine | 14:27 |
| Lusule | so it looks like the problem is with gdm | 14:28 |
| TheSheep | yeah | 14:29 |
| Lusule | right so it's definitely a gdm problem, maybe i should just uninstall gdm, i don't need it, this is the only login i'll ever use | 14:33 |
| TheSheep | Lusule: be aware that gdm does quite some additional work in xubuntu, setting up ICE auth and some ssh-agents and such | 14:39 |
| TheSheep | Lusule: I never manager to get 100% functional desktop without gdm | 14:39 |
| TheSheep | managed* | 14:39 |
| Lusule | i don't seem to have a 100% functional desktop with it >< | 14:39 |
| Lusule | i have to kill it before i can log in | 14:40 |
| Lusule | this install is not going well for me >< also have no sound, on a toshiba laptop | 15:14 |
| Sysi | karmic? have you checked that everything is unmuted | 15:15 |
| Lusule | where do i find those settings? | 15:15 |
| Sysi | click icon in panel | 15:16 |
| Lusule | GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem. | 15:16 |
| Sysi | i think there's two places now, different for gnome-volume-manager and xfce-* | 15:16 |
| taloha | hello all i have a problem, how to disable shade/unshade titlebar in xfce ? | 16:42 |
| Sysi | you mean hiding? right click and configure panel | 16:43 |
| taloha | not panel | 16:44 |
| taloha | but titlebar | 16:44 |
| Sysi | hum, you can at least take that button of from window manager settings | 16:45 |
| Sysi | (sorry when bad english) | 16:46 |
| taloha | np my english is bad too :) | 16:47 |
| taloha | but nothing option to disable shade/unshade in window manager settings | 16:48 |
| Sysi | i'm not sure if it's possible | 16:48 |
| WierdAAR | Hello, I just saw the following when install Battle for Wesnoth. "The following packages were installed and are no longer needed "20-30 names". Type sudo apt-get autoremove to remove them". What should I make of this? | 16:56 |
| TheSheep | WierdAAR: what is unclear about that message? | 17:10 |

| Lusule | hi there, i've managed to completely stuff up my install trying to get some issues working. Now I can't even startx, I only have console. I want to create a live-usb-pen to try ubuntu and see if that works any better, is there a way to do so from within console or do i need to reinstall xubuntu first? | 17:39 |
| TheSheep | you can use w3m to browse | 17:41 |
| TheSheep | find some howto | 17:41 |
| Lusule | i'm using my iphone | 17:41 |
| Lusule | doesn't look like there is :( | 17:41 |
| TheSheep | sure there is, that's how you did it before they made that fancy gui | 17:42 |
| TheSheep | it's just... complicated | 17:42 |
| Lusule | yeah, i think it's easier just to reinstall and create it from there | 17:42 |
| Lusule | bearing in mind i can't get a basic out of the box laptop setup to work | 17:42 |
| Lusule | i'm going to avoid fancy stuff for now | 17:43 |
| Lusule | if i didn't hate windows so much i'd give up at this point | 17:43 |
| slow-motion | hi | 17:52 |
| rlameiro | hi there | 18:11 |
| rlameiro | has anyone here made a net install with a minimal cd? | 18:11 |
| rlameiro | I made an mirror with apt-mirror | 18:11 |
| rlameiro | but the installer cant find the release file | 18:11 |
| rlameiro | my apache server is running | 18:12 |
| rlameiro | I can acess it via network from others computer | 18:12 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | How can I make a makro or something so I can start several programs instead clicking on every single one in the start menu? | 18:17 |
| rlameiro | Sachse_Siechtum, you can make a script in bash that opens the programs you want | 18:19 |
| rlameiro | I cant program bash | 18:19 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | is there a how-to somewhere? | 18:19 |
| rlameiro | but i am sure it is easy to do, read around the net | 18:19 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | I'm not familiar in programming in linux | 18:19 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | ok | 18:19 |
| rlameiro | bash is easy | 18:19 |
| rlameiro | but you need to learn | 18:20 |
| rlameiro | maybe ask someone in programming | 18:20 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | I used to pogram in turbo pascal but that was 10 years ago *g* | 18:20 |
| rlameiro | or search linux bash progrqamming | 18:20 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | ok | 18:21 |
| bazhang | nothing like startup applications in preferences? | 18:21 |
| rlameiro | Sachse_Siechtum, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html | 18:21 |
| rlameiro | yea, you can also add the software to the startup | 18:22 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | bazhang I thought about that too... | 18:22 |
| rlameiro | but it will always open the apps when you login | 18:22 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | yeah | 18:22 |
| bazhang | applications>settings>settings manager ? | 18:23 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | oh another thing...how can I change rights on my floppy drive? right now I cant mount it, only root can.. | 18:23 |
| bazhang | seems a whole lot easier than learning bash | 18:23 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | baz yeah | 18:23 |
| rlameiro | you wanted a makro... not to open it always... i only said bash because is builtin in all ubuntu | 18:26 |
| rlameiro | it could be in python or whatever | 18:26 |
| rlameiro | Sachse_Siechtum, about the floppy look at the user and groups... maybe there is a group for the floppy, if so you need to add yourself to the group | 18:27 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | ok. :-) | 18:28 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | I found a group "floppy" and checked my name on it. | 18:29 |
| rlameiro | Sachse_Siechtum, does it work now? | 18:36 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | just a moment... | 18:36 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | No. :-( still says "only root can mount...." | 18:36 |
| genii | When you change groups in the gui you need a logout-login cycle to make it effective | 19:31 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | ok Thanks. | 19:34 |
