| _chris_ | moin all :) | 08:19 |
| slow-motion | hi | 10:38 |
| danboid | How do I change default window manager that gdm auto-logs into under lucid? gdmsetup is broke and I've hadf no luck with .xsession or 'sudo update-alternatives --config x-window-manager' | 14:50 |
| ablomen | danboid, did you try /usr/share/xsessions/default.desktop ? (not sure there is one in lucid though..) | 14:54 |
| danboid | ablomen, No- that folder exists under lucid but there is no default.desktop in there atm. Need to find out what it should contain now then.. | 14:57 |
| Sysi | rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions/* | 14:58 |
| Sysi | windowmanager --replace and save session at logout | 14:58 |
| danboid | Sysi, I've got a .cache but theres no sessions subfolder and I'm not sure fluxbox supports 'save session at logout'? | 15:00 |
| Sysi | idk about fluxbox i'm xfce user | 15:01 |
| Sysi | xfce/xfwm | 15:01 |

| jimisrvrox | hey guys im having a problem mounting my mp3 player and hoping that I do not have to format the drive...unfortunately gparted shows that there is currently no filesystem on there but there is music on there..and I tried to reset the permissions to allow any user to mount the drive but am still getting error that root can only mount the drive... | 19:44 |
| Sysi | only root can do mounting | 19:45 |
| Sysi | but it can be done so that normal user can write there | 19:46 |
| jimisrvrox | Sysi: did su root and I still get the... | 19:47 |
| jimisrvrox | sudo mount gives me mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1 and dmesg gives me VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdb1. | 19:47 |
| Sysi | what fs should it be? | 19:47 |
| Sysi | i guess fat32 | 19:48 |
| jimisrvrox | I dont think upgrading to 10.04 would reset permissions...I think one day i was messing with the machine after reading about permissions stuff in a book and I figured out last night that I needed to go into the storage device thing and try to reset the permissions.. | 19:48 |
| jimisrvrox | well im guessing it could use NTFS so that if the kiddo wants to connect it to a Windows box for tagging that it wouldnt have any problems...but it already has music on it that I dont want to end up erasing due to formatting.. | 19:49 |
| Sysi | mount -t ntfs | 19:49 |
| jimisrvrox | hrm tried the mount -t command and it tells me the device doesnt have NTFS.. | 19:53 |
| jimisrvrox | strange | 19:53 |
| Sysi | it's broken or not ntfs | 19:53 |
| jimisrvrox | it ends up being fat32 | 19:53 |
| jimisrvrox | I wished I could remember all these damn commands! Ive been reading a linux security book but I think its more of you have to do it over and over again and then it becomes second nature | 19:54 |
| Sysi | can you mount it with thunar? | 19:54 |
| jimisrvrox | nope..that keeps giving me mount: wrong fs blah balh | 19:55 |
| Sysi | there's some way to mount it with root but as normal user so it becomes rw for both | 19:56 |
| jimisrvrox | Sysi: I ended up mounting it..ran mount -t vfat and then ran mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt | 20:00 |
| Sysi | it work | 20:00 |
| jimisrvrox | yup | 20:01 |
| jimisrvrox | Sysi: I think what my problem is is that in fstab sdb1 was showing up as ext3 and its really vfat so I figure just go in and edit fstab to vfat instead of ext3 | 20:02 |
| Sysi | your mp3-player shouldn't be in fstab | 20:03 |
| Sysi | add # in front of that line | 20:04 |
| jimisrvrox | well it is only because I told it to load on boot-up | 20:05 |
| Sysi | how you want | 20:05 |
| jimisrvrox | so all id have to do like you said is comment it out but wouldnt I also have to change the pref in storage device manager? | 20:05 |
| Sysi | you can change type also in fstab | 20:06 |
| jimisrvrox | brb | 20:12 |
| jimisrvrox | ok Sysi it worked out good...so it was all because Linux wasnt seeing the device as ext3 when the device was formatted vfat.. | 20:17 |
| Sysi | you told linux it's ext3 in fstab | 20:18 |
| jimisrvrox | I mustive earlier... | 20:18 |
| jimisrvrox | Sysi: what do you think of Win7? Do you still use Windows? | 20:21 |
| Sysi | "still :)" | 20:21 |
| Sysi | not really | 20:21 |
| jimisrvrox | heh its on the try not to basis eh | 20:21 |
| Sysi | (i did use win for long time) | 20:22 |
| jimisrvrox | how long have you used Linux? | 20:24 |
| CS_GLaDOS | I've been using win7 since the beta days :D I tried Linux a long time ago - my hardware had no drivrs and it was a KDE distro and the buttons were massive. | 20:25 |
| CS_GLaDOS | as I've seen today it's much improved since then | 20:25 |
| Sysi | few years | 20:25 |
| Sysi | maybe three | 20:25 |
| Sysi | i hated xp so much i've gone for anything | 20:26 |
| Sysi | 7 is ok, i just don't have reason to something expensive/illegal and not-very-userfriendly | 20:26 |
| jimisrvrox | heh | 20:26 |
| CS_GLaDOS | The only reason I'm back into Linux is that my T20's fans don't spin under Windows | 20:28 |
| CS_GLaDOS | Okay, we're into Xubuntu, and hopefully it won't be b0rked this time | 20:30 |
| jimisrvrox | im alright with 7 but I love my Linux :) | 20:30 |
| CS_GLaDOS | I'm talking to you form 7 | 20:30 |

| jimisrvrox | urgh I hate this f'n phillips mp3 player! | 20:31 |
| CS_GLaDOS | UK Zune master race here | 20:31 |
| jimisrvrox | lets see...14 songs and only 4 show up on the damn player..wtf is up with that?!? | 20:32 |
| jimisrvrox | and then for tagging I havent been able to find a *nix program that will tag the songs correctly to display on the player but WMP will do just fine...I just HATE anything Windoze.. | 20:32 |
| Sysi | broken filesystem? :) | 20:33 |

| CS_GLaDOS | same error | 20:33 |

| === likemindead is now known as [mccracken] | ||
| jimisrvrox | TheSheep: you think I could have all tracks showing up through ex falso? I cant understand why theyre not showing up already because I use grip to rip/encode and I had another album that ripped just fine to the player...but this one seems to be on the sh**tter | 20:36 |
| TheSheep | jimisrvrox: not sure, the problem may be with the filesystem not tags | 20:36 |
| TheSheep | jimisrvrox: or something else entirely | 20:37 |
| TheSheep | jimisrvrox: make sure there no non-ascii characters or spaces in the filenames | 20:37 |
| jimisrvrox | ok so after tracks 1-4 ex falso picked those up but after that...nada | 20:41 |
| jimisrvrox | and thats on my linux box not on the player | 20:42 |
| CS_GLaDOS | What's the difference between alternate and desktop versions of xubuntu? | 20:44 |
| jimisrvrox | CS_GLaDOS: alternate is text-only install and usually offers more options...and desktop is gui-based | 20:45 |
| CS_GLaDOS | I see | 20:47 |
| CS_GLaDOS | I'll keep it on the desktop. | 20:47 |
