BUGabundomorning12:24
BUGabundoso, I got this e-sata disk that keeps asking for GKSUDO whenever I plug it12:24
BUGabundoI'll add "/dev/sdb1/media/wdtvdisk ext2 " to fstab12:25
BUGabundobut I'm missing something12:25
BUGabundoshould I do "auto" too, like cdrom?12:25
penguin42BUGabundo: /dev/sdb2 /media/wdtvdisk ext2 defaults 0 0     should work12:26
penguin42(the 0 0 means no fsck)12:26
penguin42are you sure you mean 2 ?12:26
* penguin42 hasn't seen a definition of what stuff requires perms and what isn't - usb sticks seem to be automounted; esata will be a bit different because it probably can't tell it's any different from an onboard12:29
BUGabundopenguin42: yeah... it's a movie disk on WDTV12:30
BUGabundopenguin42: usb pendrives in vfat, ntfs, or ext4 have no prob12:30
BUGabundobut any vfat or extfs disk I plug via e-sata will not automount12:31
BUGabundoand when I do mount it, it asks for ROOT12:31
BUGabundoeven if then the device is mounted for my user12:31
BUGabundoas been like this since alpha2 or beta (aka alpha3) lucid12:31
BUGabundoI did file a bug back then, but I never moved12:31
penguin42I think it's probably actually the right behaviour - the system has no way of knowing it isn't just an inbuilt disk and it wouldn't let normal users screw with those12:36
penguin42BUGabundo: If instead of defaults you put something like user   I think it might let you do it as you12:37
Ian_Cornepenguin42: but by contrast, I'm allowed to mount my other sata disks, without password12:38
penguin42you are? OK I give up - I don't understand what the rules are at all12:38
penguin42(which is frankly a bit worrying from a security point of view)12:38
Ian_CorneBUGabundo: are you in plugdev?12:39
Ian_Cornethe group12:39
BUGabundoIan_Corne: should I ?12:39
Ian_CorneYes12:39
Ian_Corneto mount such drives I think12:39

BUGabundoand udev would take care of everthing12:39
BUGabundoeven to bring breakfast to bed12:39

BUGabundoso that's not it12:41
Ian_Cornehmm12:41
Ian_CorneI have no idea12:41
Ian_CorneI don't haven an E-sata disk tho to try it with12:41
Ian_Cornebecause the system COULD make a difference between hotplugged drives and pre-plugged ones12:42
Ian_Corneit can see if it's an e-sata disk12:42
penguin42BUGabundo: Try /dev/sdb1 /wherever ext2 user,noauto,relatime 0 012:42
penguin42BUGabundo: That should let a user mount it but not auto mount it at boot12:42
Ian_Cornebut that's nasty12:43
penguin42Ian_Corne: I don't disagree12:43
Ian_Corneok :)12:43
Ian_Cornedo uuid's ever change?12:43
* penguin42 finds it surprising there doesn't seem to be any settings dialog on a per-partition basis so I can set things like what to do when a usb drive is hot plugged12:44
penguin42Ian_Corne: They shouldn't12:44
penguin42hmm breakfast time12:45
BUGabundoenjoy12:46
* BUGabundo light bulbs12:55
BUGabundoI wonder if my e-sata _bug_ is from me umounting it *everytime* before unplug12:55
Ian_Corneyou should always unmount, no?13:01
BUGabundoI usually do13:03
BUGabundobut I remember that could be the cause13:03
BUGabundoI do $ sync13:03
BUGabundoso I'm usually safe from bad flashes13:03
penguin42sync isn't enough to guarentee it13:13
BUGabundook13:15
BUGabundothen ill keep on doing unmout13:15
=== BUGabundo is now known as BUGabundo_lunch
yofelIan_Corne: UUIDs are set when you format a partition, so they should never change uness you reformat it13:26
Ian_Cornethen he should probably use the uuid to mount that disk to that spot, I guess13:27
Ian_Cornealtho any new disks won't be able to user mount13:28
penguin42yeh, and with modern kernels you have to be a little careful because the order of sd* isn't necessarily consistent from one boot to the next13:29
z3r0-c001other than interface whatis the diffrence between remix and desktop13:31

BUGabundo_DrWhoheeh14:48

BUGabundo_DrWhono UM -d yet14:48
Timo_I'm using the great Linux Mint now, which stays on a same layout and it works pretty well, I'm comfortable with it and a new release just handed me out the newest software with some other improvements14:48
BUGabundo_DrWhogood for you14:49
BUGabundo_DrWhoFreedom :)14:49
BUGabundo_DrWho.... its overated... or not14:49
Timo_Yes, well I was running 9.10 for quite a long time and I loved it. 10.04, have been on it for about an hour and hated it already :P14:49
BUGabundo_DrWholol14:50
BluesKajinteresting Timo_ , my experience is exactly opposite of yours , karmic wasn't my cuppa tea at all14:51
Timo_That's funny :>14:51
Timo_Well I actually liked all releases except fro 10.0414:52
Timo_well the new theme, it's experimenting, and that should be supported, that's true :D14:52
BUGabundo_DrWhowell I liked 9.1014:54
BUGabundo_DrWholucid hasn't all that smooth14:54
BUGabundo_DrWholet see how will maverick does14:54
BUGabundo_DrWhoand they need to get shorter names14:54
Ian_CorneHmm, i've noticed less people with problems compared to 9.10 after release tho14:54
BUGabundo_DrWhothey are getting bigger and bigger .... too much to type14:54
Ian_Corneexcept the eee people14:54
yofelI liked ubuntu until they invented notify-osd, and it's a mess since 9.10 (upstart, and now plymouth, ...)14:54
BUGabundo_DrWhoyofel: again, +114:55
BUGabundo_DrWhoso you mean 9.04 alpha 4 ? :D /rant14:55
Trewas10.04 has one very obvious bug to everyone, I was surprised the window controls were broken even when not using the previous default theme in 9.10... otherwise it has been quite ok14:55
yofelBUGabundo_DrWho: no, I won't continue the rants from back then, I do remeber them as if it was yesterday though :P14:56
BUGabundo_DrWhoahaaha14:56
BUGabundo_DrWhoI still get bug mail from UM changes :(14:56
BUGabundo_DrWhoand the the new change to remove tooltips14:56
BUGabundo_DrWhoeven got a reply from Mark14:56
yofelI unsubscribed from the UM bug, still subscribed on the tooltips rant though14:57
JoshuaLi miss the tooltips14:59
JoshuaLthey where giving some good information, like what song was playing in rhythmbox etc.14:59
yofelI agree with his argument that people are abusing them, but I did like the battery information15:00
JoshuaL+ that15:00
JoshuaLfurthermore im happy with ubuntu, cant live without it ;-)15:01
yofeloh, Psi has a great tooltip here... hover on the systray icon and a tooltip opens saying... 'Psi'15:02
yofelvery useful15:02
Ian_Cornethe weather tooltip is handy tho15:02
JoshuaLnm-applet still gives an tooltip15:03

mxe5I just downloaded the latest Lucid i86 ver. ISO - Is this version any different than the one I downloaded right after the Final release was out ? ?16:32
holsteinit shouldnt be16:32
mxe5holstein; Thanks just wondering - Have a lappy I acquired going to install on.16:34
holsteini have a server install16:34
holsteini updated before the final16:34
holsteina few days16:34
holsteinand theres no security updates since then16:34
holsteini think if something really funky got in16:35
holsteinthey would roll a new one16:35
mxe5holstein; Why did you go with the server install - Sharing files, etc. ?16:35
BluesKajholstein, there have been a few updates since , mostly language16:35
holsteinmxe5: i got an icecast server16:36
holsteinrunning on a laptop16:36

holsteinmxe5: have you looked at http://www.turnkeylinux.org/16:42

SwedeMikeaboSamoor: are you sure you want to ask that in #ubuntu+1 and not in #ubuntu ?20:46

BlackOtakuHey yall. I'm upgrading a fresh Lucid install to Maverick; updating the update-notifier package in Synaptic requires the removal of the ubuntu-desktop package. Is this safe to remove?20:48
BlackOtakuIt's my assumption that since ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage that depends on most of the things found in a default install, it wouldn't be safe to remove... am I correct in this assumption?20:53
yofelwell, if you *just* remove ubuntu-desktop nothing will be broken, but that it even wants to remove ubuntu-desktop is an indication that you might not want to apply the update at this point20:54
arandBlackOtaku: It is safe to remove, however it convenient for organisatory purposes20:54
BlackOtakuAlright, then I think I'll go ahead and update it then... wish me luck20:55
arandFor example, if you choose to get rid of evlolution from a default install, then ubuntu-desktop would have to go as well...20:55
BlackOtakuAhh ok I see.20:55
arandBlackOtaku: If an update wants to remove it, the update is likely bd20:56
arand*bad20:56
BlackOtakuYou're probably right, it's telling me that it couldn't resolve a dependency... Alright, then I'll leave that alone.20:57
arandBut if you actively want to remove something which comes in the default install, then often ubuntu-desktop has to go...20:57
BlackOtakuAlright, all of the updates have been installed and I'm rebooting my Maverick VM20:58
BlackOtakuIt's booted up fine, thanks again :)20:59
* arand needs to get onto maverick at some point... bluh.20:59
aboSamoorSwedeMike, thanks for the wish, it seems nowadays so hard to get help for ubuntu any where, I am trying IRC and forums and no luck till now !21:25
