serfusoh you did09:33
serfuswell, how?09:33
serfusdid you open nautilus as root?09:33
boywonderi thought root was /root09:33
geirhaIf you install nautilus-gksu, you can right-click and choose open as administrator09:34
boywonderwhats nautilus?09:34
geirhaThe "explorer"09:34
boywonderoh there must be a way for me to acces this file manually09:34

serfusby who?09:36
boywonderlesson one09:36
serfusit's just temporary09:36
boywonderso i have to unroot09:36
geirhaYou should never log in as root, that's true. But the above command runs gedit and gedit only as the root user09:36
geirhaThat's the standard way of editing system configuration files.09:37
serfusboywonder, there are some tasks which requires root09:37
boywonderthats to another thing my account was created on install, i thinkin is that bad?09:37
geirhaThe user created when you installed have permissions to run programs as use by using sudo/gksudo09:38
geirha*run programs as root user09:39
geirhaIt'll ask you for your password when you run sudo/gksudo09:39
boywonderthe friggin file was blank, im trying to stop echo request09:40
boywonderin ufw09:40
geirhaEither its blank, or you've opened a non-existant file (in which case it creates an empty one)09:40

boywonderhey thanks cool as09:46

Abhijeetvirus detected in my  laptop10:09
Abhijeetplease help me to remove the recycler virus from my laptop which affected the ubuntu 10.04 os10:10
geirhaWhat does it do?10:13
geirha!antivirus10:14
ubot2Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus10:14
Abhijeetwhen i open the external drive such as the ubuntu dvd it shows shortcut to the folder names ubuntu10:22
Abhijeetand also the system drive shows 128 tera bite of data!!!!!!!!!!! please help me10:25
geirhaWhere does it say 128 terabyte exactly?10:26
Abhijeetwhen i open the my computer it shows thw different drives . when i open the properties tag of the drive where the ubuntu is installed10:27
geirhaThe one labeled "File system" ?10:38
geirhaIt shows the total of all mounted filesystems.10:38
Abhijeetyes it is but my hard disc is of 320 gb and i have installed win xp on same laptop as dualm boot10:44
geirhaHave you any samba shares or similar mounted?10:48
Abhijeetno i dont  have installed the samba software10:50
geirhaIt's pre-installed. Whenever you enter a network share, it gets mounted, and I believe the space usage will be added to that total you saw.10:52
Abhijeetbut my basic question is why the shortcut is showed in the dvd of ubuntu and alos in the repositary dvs of ubuntu after clicking the shortcut it shows all the content which was there10:52
geirhaNot sure I follow what you mean by that one. Maybe take a screenshot?10:53
geirha!imagebin10:53

HoboSteauxhey has anyone had a read-only removable hd partitioned with ext3?22:32
aveilleuxHoboSteaux: I don't understand the purpose of making such a partition read-only22:33
HoboSteauxi threw an 1.5tb hd in a case,formatted it plugged it back in and it was read only22:33
HoboSteauxi didnt intend that to happen and dont know how to change that22:33
aveilleuxHoboSteaux: It was probably mounted read-only. Is Ubuntu mounting it automatically?22:34
HoboSteauxyeah22:34
HoboSteauxbut its happening on my router too, running ddwrt22:34
aveilleuxHoboSteaux: This is an external drive? Or rather, an internal drive placed into an external enclosure22:34
HoboSteauxinternal in external22:34
aveilleuxHoboSteaux: I assume (since you're using dd-wrt) that you're familiar with Terminal22:35
aveilleuxHoboSteaux: Am I correct in my assumption?22:36
geirhaBy default, when you create an ext filesystem, it'll only be writable for root.22:36
HoboSteauxyeah aveilleux22:37
aveilleuxHoboSteaux: unmount the drive, then (but leave it plugged in)22:37
HoboSteauxalright22:37
aveilleuxHoboSteaux: Then can you cd /dev and ls sd* for me, then paste the output here?22:38
HoboSteauxits on the other side of town right now :S ill do that tho and see what i can get out of it22:38
aveilleuxHoboSteaux: Oh, can you not SSH into it?22:39
HoboSteauxno, ive been testing using this laptop, so its not connected to the router right now :S22:40
HoboSteauxotherwise yes (vpns ftw)22:40
aveilleuxHoboSteaux: Wait, you DO or DO NOT have the ability to mount and unmount this drive?22:41
geirhaHow do you determine it is read-only?22:41
HoboSteauxi culdnt do any operations on it, but i could see everything etc22:41
HoboSteauxbbiab, doctors apptmt to get rd of day 7 of a fever22:42
aveilleuxHoboSteaux: In any case, what I was going to have you try was sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdX /media/usbdevice rw   Thus passing the "read-write" flag to the mounter22:42
geirha-o rw22:43
aveilleuxgeirha: Right, -o. I'm still in fstab mode.22:43
