serverduckpedro3005,  when apt-get install i get " a bunch of things then failed to parse default value "SANT" for schema...."00:11
bodhi_zazenI suspect we may not see her for a while00:11
pedro3005compiledkernel, I suspect it was only an angry person (possibly not a girl) wanting to curse other people00:11
pedro3005serverduck, that happened to me too00:11

pedro3005ARC0112358, volume ownership?00:19
ARC0112358yeah - root owns my 'media drive' and I cannot do anything on it00:20
serverduckpedro3005,  maybe restarting the gnome could help00:20
pedro3005ARC0112358, chown?00:20
pedro3005serverduck, GNOME restarts every time the pc restarts00:20
ARC0112358pedro3005, I am such a noob that I dont know that00:21
pedro3005ARC0112358, don't worry00:21
pedro3005I don't know it too good either00:21
ARC0112358pedro3005, is that a sudo commnd?00:21
serverduckpedro3005,  ohh well this isn't gonna work since i ;ve restarted it many times and still the same00:21
pedro3005ARC0112358, as root, run "sudo chown -R <your_user_name> /path/to/drive"00:23
pedro3005serverduck, darn00:23
pedro3005ARC0112358, ops00:23
ARC0112358so to be root I run sudo nautilus?00:23
pedro3005sorry00:23
duanedesignARC0112358: yes00:23
ARC0112358ok00:23
ARC0112358here goes00:24
pedro3005ARC0112358, no, first run "sudo su"00:24
pedro3005duanedesign, ?00:24
duanedesignARC0112358: its better to do everything with sudo than change the ownership of  /media00:24
pedro3005duanedesign, oh00:24
ARC0112358please clarify00:25
duanedesignARC0112358: one sec ill get a link that explains Ubuntu permissions/root well00:25
ARC0112358u guys rock00:25
serverduckpedro3005,  :(00:25
pedro3005serverduck, hm.. well00:25
duanedesignARC0112358: By default, the root account password is locked in Ubuntu. This means that you cannot login as root directly or use the su command to become the root user. However, since the root account physically exists it is still possible to run programs with root-level privileges. This is where sudo comes in00:26
duanedesignARC0112358: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo00:27
ARC0112358duanedesign, ok00:27
duanedesignARC0112358: and actually to open a nautilus window its gksudo nautilus :)00:27
ARC0112358is that the way to go?  nautilus?00:27
pedro3005serverduck, you can try to reach the author at http://blog.sarine.nl/00:28
ARC0112358this is the part where you tell me to read that post right?  :)00:28
duanedesignARC0112358: if it opens a window use gksudo. If its a text only command like sudo mv this/file to/here00:28
duanedesignuse sudo00:28
pedro3005ARC0112358, just run nautilus as root (with gksudo) and navigate there and use it00:29
serverduckpedro3005,  :(00:29
serverduckpedro3005,  found no contact info there00:30
pedro3005serverduck, leave a comment00:30
serverduckpedro3005,  yeah i will thank you so much00:30

duanedesignyes00:39
duanedesignARC0112358: what are you trying to do?00:39
ARC0112358I have a media drive that I somehow gave root the ownership of, and I can't write to it anymore - its read only00:39
ARC0112358I want to be able to write files to it as my user00:40
pedro3005ARC0112358, just write to it as root00:40
ARC0112358Applications aren't installed as root00:41
ARC0112358I log in as user too, not root00:41
pedro3005duanedesign, maybe he could create a group of users who can write to the file, then add root/self to it, chown it etc?00:42
pedro3005dunno00:42
ARC0112358apps and suser need to write to it...  dpecifically mediatomb00:43
duanedesignok. how did you add the drive?00:43
ARC0112358It was originally manu-mounted and then I installed an app that auto-mounts it at startup00:44
ARC0112358kde partition manger maybe?00:44

HellowHighlight me if someone like that comes back in here again, ok?02:00
duanedesignthank you Hellow02:00
pedro3005ok02:00
Semitonesthanks02:00
pedro3005didn't knew you had ops02:00
SemitonesHellow, he was tricky02:00
HellowYes.02:00
Semitonesdoes the !ops tag work here?02:00
HellowDon't think so.02:00
Hellow!ops02:00
HellowNo.02:00
pedro3005there's no bot02:01
duanedesignARC0112358: im puzzled02:01
ARC0112358yeah me too02:01
ARC0112358dunno wtf I did02:01
ARC0112358it used to work02:01
Semitonesduanedesign, ARC0112358, ubuntu automatically detects and mounts extra partitions, so maybe if you undid whatever custom changes, it would do that again02:01
HellowThat was a horrid kick message that I sent, but.02:02
ARC0112358can I restore to earlier date?02:02
pedro3005Hellow, it did the job02:02
nhandlerSomeone need me?02:03
SemitonesARC0112358, I don't think you can do that, but if you made any changes to fstab, or something, you could just delete those lines and reboot02:03
Hellownhandler: Looks like montel's back. That was from *.in.comcast.net, and he was mentioning previous involvement with the UFBT.02:03
duanedesignSemitones: http://paste.ubuntu.com/395914/02:03
duanedesignthat is the fstab02:03
ARC0112358If I reinstalled ubuntu, would volume permissions reset?02:03
HellowThere's another ban in the ban list that I set due to a troll a few days back.02:03
HellowLooks like montel too, he uses The Pirate Bay's VPN service, AFAIK.02:04
duanedesignHellow: we had one earlier today too02:04
Semitonesduanedesign, I don't know if this would work, but you could try saving a copy of that fstab as backup, and then just delete that line, and reboot02:04
Semitonessee if the volume is automatically detected02:04
ARC0112358ok02:04
pedro3005nhandler, just an A-hole bothering us02:04
pedro3005nhandler, scroll back a bit02:04
duanedesignFisherQueen was the nick02:05
SemitonesARC0112358, do you know how to save a backup copy?02:05
nhandlerpedro3005: He was taken care of ;)02:06
duanedesignARC0112358: ok run. sudo cp /etc/fstab  /etc/fstab.bak02:06
nhandlerHellow: It was montel02:06
Hellownhandler: Ah.02:06
Semitonesyou guys should get ubottu in here :)02:06
HellowI figured it was.02:06
HellowCan you confirm if the previous ban I set was montel too?02:07
HellowI think he uses TBP's VPN service, but I don't know.02:07
nhandlerHellow: Don't even bother banning him at this point. Poke me or another staffer if he shows up02:07
HellowOk.02:07
duanedesignARC0112358: after you run that confirm its backed up by running.   ls /etc/02:07
Semitonesban evading?02:07
duanedesignARC0112358: you will see a fstab as well as fstab.bak02:08
ARC0112358i see it02:08
nhandlerSemitones: That is one of my to-change items as well, replacing votebot with ubottu in here02:08
ARC0112358i gotta reboot?02:09
duanedesignARC0112358: then you can open the fstab with the command from earlier.  gksudo gedit /etc/fstab02:09
duanedesignARC0112358: already done :)02:09
duanedesignARC0112358: yep02:09
ARC0112358I deleted that line02:09
ARC0112358ok...  see ya in  a few...02:09
duanedesignARC0112358: kk02:09
Semitonesgood luck!02:09
ARC0112358it worked02:13
Semitoneshooray!02:13
duanedesignthank you Semitones02:13
Semitonesyou're welcome :)02:14
ARC0112358Yeah!  I dont really get it - but it worked02:14
SemitonesI'm glad it worked02:14
ARC0112358thanks02:14
Semitonesno problem02:14
ARC0112358soooo much to learn02:14
ARC0112358thanks all - c ya with next fiasco...02:15
Semitonesubuntu can autodetect a bunch of things nowadays... so I figured if it was set up wrong in fstab, erasing it, and letting ubuntu autodetect it might work. I guess it did02:15
ARC0112358cool02:16
ARC0112358thanks pedro, duane and semitones - im out02:17

ikts4aluck: sorry I was looking quickly through some posts and thought I saw an answer, but I then I saw your post :P17:26
iktI would personally just get another one, since they're usually only like $10, but google the one you get to see if it's compatible with linux17:27
iktI would also open a bug report about that webcam since it seems like it's a regression since you say it was working in ubuntu before a kernel upgrade17:27
s4aluckikt: hahah I am everywhere17:27
ikt:)17:28
s4aluckikt: this camera works perfect on 8.0417:29

ghostofmybrain_I'm trying to install the driver for my ethernet card but the only available driver is an exe. Am I just out of luck?21:18
pedro3005ghostofmybrain_, ethernet card? these generally work on ubuntu without the need of drivers21:19
ghostofmybrain_hmmm, even my router doesn't recognize the computer plugged into it, although it recognized the computer when it was plugged into onboard ethernet port21:20
pedro3005ghostofmybrain_, what is the card?21:21
ghostofmybrain_the light is on and everything, but I assumed that if the router didn't see the computer that I needed to install a driver or something. maybe not?21:21
