[03:10] <fbxxkl_> Hey everyone. I have a wireless network card installed on my linux machine but its not picking up the device in the network items does anyone know how I can find out if I need to install drivers or what steps I should take
[03:14] <ridin> fbxxkl_, you should check out #ubuntu , there's more activity there
[03:14] <ridin> don't leave this channel, also
[03:15] <fbxxkl_> ok thanks
[03:19] <leonardo> hi
[03:19] <ridin> fbxxkl_, ask more than once, probably you'll need to add more detail
[03:19] <leonardo> new in xubuntu
[03:20] <leonardo> how can i change the resolution
[03:20] <ridin> leonardo, wait for a sec
[03:22] <ridin> leonardo: Applications -> Settings -> Xfce 4 Settings Manager -> Display
[03:23] <leonardo> yeah a try that
[03:23] <cdoublejj_> how to i open up the ny win 98 partition in xubuntu, this is a dual boot machine

[03:25] <ridin> leonardo: go to applications -> settings -> hardware drivers

[10:37] <slow-motion> hi
[13:36] <fbxxkl_> Hi, I am trying to set up my pci wireless card does anyone have experience with this and think they could help?
[13:45] <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?
[13:47] <charlie-tca> JKL: shortcuts in Xubuntu are assigned in Applications -> Settings -> Xfce 4 Settings Manager -> Keyboard or Window Manager.
[13:48] <charlie-tca> Ctrl+alt+s does not appear in my system
[13:49] <charlie-tca> !wireless | fbxxkl_
[13:52] <fbxxkl_> Thanks charlie-tca, issue resolved
[13:53] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[14:36] <JKL> thx charlie-tca, i will have a look
[14:37] <JKL> charlie-tca: i dont have it neither. what might be the problem ...
[14:38] <charlie-tca> If it is unassigned in Xubuntu, eclipse set it wrong. You might try adding it to Keyboard shortcuts, as a work around
[15:06] <slow-motion> bye
[16:51] <Rogasch> Hello
[16:52] <Rogasch> can somebody help me out with a problem i do not understand
[16:53] <Sysi> !ask
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <Rogasch> someone know this problem?
[16:55] <Sysi> what you are trying to copy there, why and how?
[16:56] <Rogasch> i tried to copy a folder with icon stuff from my home
[16:57] <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
[16:58] <Rogasch> yea maybe but i do not understand why the command doesnt work
[16:59] <Sysi> sudo cp -r ~/folder /usr/share/icons
[16:59] <Rogasch> ohh sorry i typed it wrong
[17:00] <Rogasch> but i did it roght on the terminal
[17:00] <Sysi> does it give some error?
[17:00] <Rogasch> only permission denied
[17:01] <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
[17:02] <Rogasch> and also there was es permission denied
[17:03] <Rogasch> same with chmod
[17:03] <Rogasch> i thougt sudo is like root for the command
[17:08] <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
[17:09] <TheSheep> maybe your user doesn't have permission to use sudo? what was the exact command?
[17:09] <TheSheep> and the exact message
[17:10] <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
[17:11] <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
[17:12] <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
[17:13] <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
[17:14] <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
[17:15] <TheSheep> Rogasch: is your home dir on a network share?
[17:15] <Rogasch> no
[17:15] <Sysi> you use xubuntu? :P
[17:16] <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
[17:17] <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
[17:18] <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?
[17:19] <Rogasch> yes
[17:19] <TheSheep> well, that explains it
[17:19] <TheSheep> what does 'mount | grep Private' say?
[17:20] <Rogasch> as root: nothing
[17:20] <Rogasch> also as user
[17:20] <TheSheep> mount | grep home
[17:20] <TheSheep> then
[17:21] <Rogasch> roman@rosch-pc:~$ mount | grep home

[17:21] <TheSheep> argh
[17:21] <Sysi> !pastebin
[17:22] <Rogasch> sorry guys
[17:22] <TheSheep> Rogasch: well, ~/Downloads is on an external drive
[17:22] <TheSheep> Rogasch: and mounted through nfs
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <Rogasch> ahh ok
[17:24] <Rogasch> that explains it
[17:24] <Rogasch> shoud i allow the access?
[17:25] <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
[17:26] <Sysi> TheSheep: i have a lot of respect for your headscratching now
[17:26] <Rogasch> i really thank you for the help
[17:27] <TheSheep> Sysi: I had a similar problem with nfs once
[17:27] <Sysi> we've had that kinda things at school iirc
[17:28] <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
[17:31] <Sysi> our users are mostly "omg what linux" rest are in the admin group
[17:33] <TheSheep> Sysi: we have some that didn't get to be admins because of characterological reasons...
[17:49]  * charlie-tca thinks between Sysi and TheSheep, all questions can be answered with patience
[17:50] <Sysi> propably
[18:10] <slow-motion> hi
[18:10] <Raggs> hi
[19:15] <mikubuntu> i seem to have googleearth-package 0.5.7 (utility to automatically build Debian package of GE) installed, but i see in synaptic googleearth 5.1.3533.1731 is available.  can someone discuss with me which options i should choose for my 10.04 acer laptop?
[21:07] <zus> hello
[21:22] <_Techie_> hello zus
[21:22]  * zus nods
[21:22] <zus> how it going?
[21:22] <_Techie_> pretty good
[21:23] <_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?
[21:25] <_Techie_> bet it was doug
[21:26] <_Techie_> sorry, that was my miserable attempt at humour
[21:27] <zus> lol
[21:27] <zus> the pipse froze
[21:27] <zus> pipes *
[21:29] <_Techie_> anyway, i gotta go work on my rollerblades
[21:29] <_Techie_> i might be back later
[21:39] <zus> _Techie_,  alright, i got to get through tons of emails :(
[21:39] <zus> charlie-tca,  ya around?
[21:45] <charlie-tca> barely
[21:46] <zus> how are you?
[21:46] <charlie-tca> I just moved, and am still trying to get unpacked
[21:48] <knome> charlie-tca, where to?
[21:48] <charlie-tca> Back to eastern Idaho
[21:48] <knome> so where were you meantime?
[21:49] <charlie-tca> Western Idaho
[21:49] <knome> okay... ;)
[21:50] <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
[21:52] <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.
[21:54] <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
[21:55] <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!
[21:56]  * zus smiles 
[21:56] <knome> mentor what? :)
[21:57] <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
[21:58] <zus> well ima finish these emails and i think i'm to film for jokesayers tonight. it's so hot i dont wanna move
[22:05] <charlie-tca> good luck. I will be around more next week than this one.
