| fbxxkl_ | Hi, I am trying to set up my pci wireless card does anyone have experience with this and think they could help? | 13:36 |
| JKL | my eclipse doesnt recognize ctrl+alt+s. might that be some shortcut in xubuntu? how can i make eclipse to recognize that key compination? | 13:45 |
| charlie-tca | JKL: shortcuts in Xubuntu are assigned in Applications -> Settings -> Xfce 4 Settings Manager -> Keyboard or Window Manager. | 13:47 |
| charlie-tca | Ctrl+alt+s does not appear in my system | 13:48 |
| charlie-tca | !wireless | fbxxkl_ | 13:49 |
| ubottu | fbxxkl_: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 13:49 |
| fbxxkl_ | Thanks charlie-tca, issue resolved | 13:52 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 13:53 |
| JKL | thx charlie-tca, i will have a look | 14:36 |
| JKL | charlie-tca: i dont have it neither. what might be the problem ... | 14:37 |
| charlie-tca | If it is unassigned in Xubuntu, eclipse set it wrong. You might try adding it to Keyboard shortcuts, as a work around | 14:38 |
| slow-motion | bye | 15:06 |

| Rogasch | Hello | 16:51 |
| Rogasch | can somebody help me out with a problem i do not understand | 16:52 |
| Sysi | !ask | 16:53 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 16:53 |
| Rogasch | well i tried to copy some folder in a /usr/share dir but i didnt workt out with a permission excepton | 16:54 |
| Rogasch | the thing is, i used sudo as prefix | 16:54 |
| Rogasch | someone know this problem? | 16:55 |
| Sysi | what you are trying to copy there, why and how? | 16:55 |
| Rogasch | i tried to copy a folder with icon stuff from my home | 16:56 |
| Sysi | create folder .icons to /home and put icon there, they work then | 16:57 |
| Rogasch | ohh and i used the termin with : sudo cp .../ .../ -R | 16:57 |
| Sysi | *icons | 16:57 |
| Rogasch | yea maybe but i do not understand why the command doesnt work | 16:58 |
| Sysi | sudo cp -r ~/folder /usr/share/icons | 16:59 |
| Rogasch | ohh sorry i typed it wrong | 16:59 |
| Rogasch | but i did it roght on the terminal | 17:00 |
| Sysi | does it give some error? | 17:00 |
| Rogasch | only permission denied | 17:00 |
| Rogasch | but i have another prob that can be connected to this problem | 17:01 |
| Rogasch | i tried to chown to the folder i want to copy | 17:01 |
| Rogasch | also with sudo | 17:01 |
| Rogasch | and also there was es permission denied | 17:02 |
| Rogasch | same with chmod | 17:03 |
| Rogasch | i thougt sudo is like root for the command | 17:03 |
| Rogasch | well it have something to do with sudo. I just tried a simple copy from .../Downloads to .../Temp inside my Homedir | 17:08 |
| Rogasch | with sudo it say permission denied and without sudo it worked | 17:08 |
| TheSheep | maybe your user doesn't have permission to use sudo? what was the exact command? | 17:09 |
| TheSheep | and the exact message | 17:09 |
| TheSheep | also, what is the output of 'id' command? | 17:10 |
| Rogasch | roman@rosch-pc:~$ sudo cp -r Downloads/Browser\ Downloads/black-white\ 2\ Style\ big/ Temp/ | 17:10 |
| Rogasch | cp: Aufruf von stat für „Downloads/Browser Downloads/black-white 2 Style big/“ nicht möglich: Permission denied | 17:10 |
| Rogasch | sorry it is in german | 17:10 |
| Rogasch | but it is all it says | 17:10 |
| Rogasch | what do you mean with output of 'id' | 17:11 |
| TheSheep | type: id | 17:11 |
| TheSheep | press enter | 17:11 |
| TheSheep | paste the result | 17:11 |
| Rogasch | uid=1000(roman) gid=1000(roman) Gruppen=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),104(fuse),105(lpadmin),119(admin),122(sambashare),1000(roman) | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | That should have been ~/Temp if Temp is in /home | 17:11 |
| TheSheep | charlie-tca: no, he was in ~ already | 17:12 |
| Rogasch | yes | 17:12 |
| TheSheep | charlie-tca: plus, cp complained about no access to the first directory | 17:12 |
| Sysi | try 'sudo -s' and copying in "root shell" | 17:13 |
| TheSheep | I know that on solaris home directories are mounted in some funny way that makes root unable to access them | 17:13 |
| charlie-tca | TheSheep: but the way that is written, Temp is a root directory, not in /home | 17:13 |
| TheSheep | charlie-tca: nonsense | 17:13 |
| charlie-tca | You have to use ./Temp or ~/Temp | 17:14 |
| TheSheep | charlie-tca: there is a space between / and Temp | 17:14 |
| TheSheep | charlie-tca: no | 17:14 |
| Rogasch | thats not the point Temp ist a folder i created | 17:14 |
| Rogasch | in my homedir | 17:14 |
| TheSheep | Rogasch: is your home dir on a network share? | 17:15 |
| Rogasch | no | 17:15 |
| Sysi | you use xubuntu? :P | 17:15 |
| Rogasch | no i use normal ubuntu | 17:16 |
| Rogasch | i thougt it makes no difference | 17:16 |
| Sysi | hey wait, i had about same issue with black-white 2* themes | 17:16 |
| TheSheep | what does 'ls -ald Downloads/Browser\ Downloads/black-white\ 2\ Style\ big/' say? | 17:16 |
| Sysi | you have to copy .tar* and extract after that | 17:16 |
| Sysi | i don't know what causes it but i had it too | 17:17 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: maybe they were tar-ed with og-r? | 17:17 |
| Rogasch | same: permission denied | 17:17 |
| Sysi | hum? | 17:17 |
| Rogasch | ohh wait i was in root shell | 17:17 |
| TheSheep | Rogasch: 'ls -ald Downloads' ? | 17:17 |
| TheSheep | Rogasch: yeah, do it as root | 17:17 |
| Rogasch | ls -ald Downloads/Browser\ Downloads/black-white\ 2\ Style\ big/ | 17:18 |
| Rogasch | roman@rosch-pc:~$ ls -ald Downloads/ | 17:18 |
| Rogasch | drwxr-xr-x 1 roman roman 4096 2010-06-28 21:48 Downloads/ | 17:18 |
| * TheSheep scratches his head | 17:18 | |
| Rogasch | and as root permission denied | 17:18 |
| TheSheep | Rogasch: encrypted home directory? | 17:18 |
| Rogasch | yes | 17:19 |
| TheSheep | well, that explains it | 17:19 |
| TheSheep | what does 'mount | grep Private' say? | 17:19 |
| Rogasch | as root: nothing | 17:20 |
| Rogasch | also as user | 17:20 |
| TheSheep | mount | grep home | 17:20 |
| TheSheep | then | 17:20 |
| Rogasch | roman@rosch-pc:~$ mount | grep home | 17:21 |

| Rogasch | sorry guys | 17:22 |
| TheSheep | Rogasch: well, ~/Downloads is on an external drive | 17:22 |
| TheSheep | Rogasch: and mounted through nfs | 17:22 |
| TheSheep | sshfs | 17:23 |
| TheSheep | sorry | 17:23 |
| Rogasch | yes | 17:23 |
| TheSheep | it squashes root | 17:23 |
| TheSheep | it wouldn't be good if root from one system had root rights in another system | 17:23 |
| Rogasch | how do i realize that? | 17:23 |
| TheSheep | so root is not allowed to access network-mounted systems by default | 17:23 |
| Rogasch | ahh ok | 17:24 |
| Rogasch | that explains it | 17:24 |
| Rogasch | shoud i allow the access? | 17:24 |
| TheSheep | if you don't need it, no | 17:25 |
| TheSheep | copy or move it to some local disk and then copy as root | 17:25 |
| Rogasch | yea that sounds easy | 17:25 |
| Sysi | TheSheep: i have a lot of respect for your headscratching now | 17:26 |
| Rogasch | i really thank you for the help | 17:26 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: I had a similar problem with nfs once | 17:27 |
| Sysi | we've had that kinda things at school iirc | 17:27 |
| Sysi | we have (currently) debian lenny and homes mounted through nfs | 17:28 |
| TheSheep | we switched to cifs because of students fooling around with packet sniffing | 17:28 |
| Sysi | our users are mostly "omg what linux" rest are in the admin group | 17:31 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: we have some that didn't get to be admins because of characterological reasons... | 17:33 |
| * charlie-tca thinks between Sysi and TheSheep, all questions can be answered with patience | 17:49 | |
| Sysi | propably | 17:50 |

| _Techie_ | sorting out my student loan today\ | 21:23 |
| zus | ac is out, its miserable at the moment other than that im good :) | 21:23 |
| _Techie_ | which miserable b*****d took the AC out? | 21:23 |
| _Techie_ | bet it was doug | 21:25 |
| _Techie_ | sorry, that was my miserable attempt at humour | 21:26 |
| zus | lol | 21:27 |
| zus | the pipse froze | 21:27 |
| zus | pipes * | 21:27 |
| _Techie_ | anyway, i gotta go work on my rollerblades | 21:29 |
| _Techie_ | i might be back later | 21:29 |
| zus | _Techie_, alright, i got to get through tons of emails :( | 21:39 |
| zus | charlie-tca, ya around? | 21:39 |
| charlie-tca | barely | 21:45 |
| zus | how are you? | 21:46 |
| charlie-tca | I just moved, and am still trying to get unpacked | 21:46 |
| knome | charlie-tca, where to? | 21:48 |
| charlie-tca | Back to eastern Idaho | 21:48 |
| knome | so where were you meantime? | 21:48 |
| charlie-tca | Western Idaho | 21:49 |
| knome | okay... ;) | 21:49 |
| charlie-tca | You know, moved to eastern Idaho about 4 years ago, moved to western Idaho (5 hours away) about 20 months ago, now moved back to eastern Idaho, about 30 miles from where I was | 21:50 |
| knome | hmm | 21:50 |
| zus | i've been off an off line since we last talked | 21:50 |
| zus | unfortunately i've not done anything since | 21:52 |
| charlie-tca | No problem, zus. Just jump right back in. The people in #ubuntu-bugs can give you a hand when I am not available. | 21:52 |
| zus | charlie-tca, aye, but i wasnt on a reliable connection till today. aint nothing worse than trying to learn and getting booted | 21:54 |
| charlie-tca | This is true | 21:54 |
| zus | so now you see exactly why it'll be hard looking for a mentor hahaha | 21:54 |
| charlie-tca | I should be around a little bit, anyway. Not a problem. I had two people volunteer, even when I said you would be on and off for extended periods of time | 21:55 |
| zus | really? shiny! | 21:55 |
| * zus smiles | 21:56 | |
| knome | mentor what? :) | 21:56 |
| charlie-tca | Many of us are just trying to help. We work with you. | 21:57 |
| charlie-tca | bug triage | 21:57 |
| knome | a-ha | 21:57 |
| knome | zus, good luck | 21:57 |
| zus | thanks | 21:57 |
| zus | well ima finish these emails and i think i'm to film for jokesayers tonight. it's so hot i dont wanna move | 21:58 |
