bobo123how do update-mime-database work? if I want to change the descriptions for filetypes in the filemanager, they are in /usr/share/mime/ but those files say <!--Created automatically by update-mime-database. DO NOT EDIT!--> but man for update-mime-database does not say what files is the source for the decriptions19:28
=== ZachK_ is now known as zkriesse
bobo123Hmm.. I suppose I can cat togheter all those mime-description-files together into overide.xml and change the descriptions in it (and remove all those other languages)20:03
TheAberrantHi all - I'm struggling with iptables.  Trying to block all connections except through my VPN (10.8.0.X), but keep blocking all my connections and locking myself out (it's a remote VPS).20:25

dumbstupidhumananyone know how to get control of all the buttons on a mouse?21:29
suprengrSo there I was - thinking of joining the u-b team, checked in Launchpad and found u-b "is a restricted team" -  ???21:34
pedro3005suprengr, there's a whole joining process21:37
pedro3005check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Membership21:38
suprengrpedro3005: thanks - was away just looking for that, cheers -  will do.21:39
suprengrthere appears to be a big conflict though... "Subscribe to the mailing list to ensure that you remain up-to-date with what the team is doing. "21:41
suprengrPolicy:  You must be a team member to subscribe to the team mailing list.21:41
pedro3005haha fail21:42
suprengrboo hiss21:42
pedro3005take that, bureaucracy21:42
* pedro3005 shakes head21:42
Silver_Fox_Bureaucracy is a wonderful thing....21:49
suprengrJoining ubuntu-beginners team... when QA overtakes common sense.21:50

zkriessesuprengr: When you get taken on by a mentor you sign up to the mailing list21:56
zkriesseAlso, you don't have to sign up to it but send an email to the list introducing yourself/asking for a mentor is a good way to start21:57
TheAberrantWeird, why would my iptables -L command hand for a couple seconds before showing the rules?  It shows the table headers, then just wait for a second or two then spits them out22:02
TheAberrantnevermind - it's trying to resolve dns for something.  -n fixes it22:08
suprengrzkriesse: thanks, think I'm getting stuff sorted out right now.22:08
zkriessesuprengr: yah22:13
