[02:50] PCChris, I think XDG can do it, but it's not like Windows [02:50] PCChris, that's really insecure, so we try and not do that [02:52] paultag, so what I'm trying to do overall is have it so when I plug in this drive it runs a script prompting me whether I want to synchronize or not [02:52] PCChris, you might be able to do some HAL magic, but it's really insecure -- what if someone ( John Q. Hacker ) plugs in a drive with an autorun script that runs rm -rf ~ [02:52] PCChris, there's a reason Windows is so easy to hack ;) [02:53] PCChris, you might be able to do something with checking the USB vendor / product ID and using that to run a local script [02:53] paultag, yeah....that's what I was about to ask [02:53] paultag, the sync/prompt script and everything is actually local, so any advice on how to do that? [02:54] PCChris, sure :) [02:54] PCChris, let me find links [02:54] PCChris, http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#external-run [02:56] paultag, ok, thanks....one question: does anything special need to be done if the drive is eSATA? [02:57] PCChris, Nope! Linux treats all devices of the same type the same way [02:57] PCChris, if it's a IDE HD, SATA drive, eSATA drive, or USB disk, it's all the same [03:00] paultag, thanks, I'll give it a go [03:00] PCChris, rock on! === swordfish is now known as genupulas [03:36] my empathy not showing online gmail contacts.....can any one help me please [03:39] paultag, ok, I have this udev entry and when I do udevadm test /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host5/target5:0:0/5:0:0:0/block/sdc/sdc1 it says at the end that it runs the command that I want(I'm using gnome-terminal for testing purposes) -- Should Gnome terminal pop up? [03:48] PCChris, don't think so [03:48] PCChris, it's not hooked up to your display or anything [03:49] PCChris, udev is a daemon -- have it run a test script that touches something [03:54] I'm afraid I'm a bit lost...so far I have my .rules file and I told udev to reload rules through udevadm [03:54] paultag, [03:54] humm [03:54] Ahha :) [03:54] PCChris, Linux is not like windows -- there's a whole system running [03:54] PCChris, the computer is not just the display and what you're doing on the screen [03:55] PCChris, lots and lots of stuff runs screen-less. udev is one of those things. It sits in the background without even being aware there's a monitor on the computer [03:55] PCChris, so if you run gnome-terminal, it will fail -- since, after all, you can have as many monitors as you want, just saying run the command is ambiguous [03:56] PCChris, so instead, run a command in the script that you're running that will touch a file [03:56] paultag, ok will do [03:56] PCChris, :) [04:08] paultag, so....when I do the test run with udevadm test /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host5/target5:0:0/5:0:0:0/block/sdc/sdc1 it says that the touch would be executed...however, plugging in the device does not seem to trigger this [04:09] paultag, here's the rules file: [04:09] KERNEL=="sdc1", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{size}=="1638951237", RUN+="touch /home/chris/workingudev" [04:09] paultag, I should be able to take out the ATTR{size}, but as I was saying in the test it said it would execute the touch....so idk what's wrong [04:27] paultag, I MADE PROGRESS! (and yes, that did deserve all caps) [04:28] PCChris, :D [04:29] paultag, so I got the touch to work...now I just want to know if there's a way for the rule to start a graphical program (ie terminal) on an X screen I already have up [04:30] PCChris, not easily, but kinda [04:30] PCChris, I'd avoid that [04:30] :/ [04:32] paultag, well, thank you for all your help [04:33] PCChris, godspeed! [05:44] I would like to stop the "extra" folders being created when creating a new user (in /home/newuser/ directory). Does anyone know where I should be looking? [06:27] narrowing it down... the adduser command is not what creates those extra folders, seems to be the first time gnome is run... [07:23] [07:41] Hi all [07:51] Greetings all... ready too learn :D [07:52] what do you want to learn today? [07:55] As much as possible (and seeing as I know so little I will learn from just about any question here today I am sure) :) [08:09] nlsthzn, you might also want to drop in to #ubuntu [08:09] high traffic but good questions and some answers [08:10] UndiFineD: I have tried a few times... a bit hectic for me... maybe if I have a few hours to "just" do that I will try again, thanks for the idea, appreciated... [08:11] with xchat you can coloize nicknames, which makes it a bit eassier [08:12] colorize* [08:12] hello all [08:12] hello varunit [08:12] i have a problem with totem player can anyone help me? [08:12] Busy giving Empathy one last chance to do my IRC too... I like the integration it has with the notifications etc. [08:13] heh [08:13] thanks unidfined [08:13] i will explain my problem now... [08:13] even at UDS they declared empathy useles for IRC [08:14] when i remove totem it also removes nautilus audio-video properties [08:14] and getting an error dialog box [08:14] and so in the future it will most likely point to freenodes webchat [08:15] hmm, I do not use totem, but vlc , I have it installed though [08:15] ya.. i want to remove it [08:15] when i remove totem it also removes nautilus audio-video properties [08:16] seems logical [08:16] what could be the problem? [08:16] they are interconnected, as totem renders the little picture to show the movie stillframe [08:17] oh.. how to get rid of this [08:17] when i right click to open any video file displays an error dialog box... [08:18] sudo apt-get remove totem [08:18] i am doing this in fedora.. [08:18] please help me [08:18] varunit: lol [08:18] fedora hmmm [08:18] because no one is responding there... [08:18] sorry, this being a Ubuntu channel [08:19] i would like to remove fedora.. just want to know the reason [08:19] I have to look up rpm commands [08:19] one sec [08:19] ok.. sure thanks.. [08:19] varunit: Doesn't Fedora also have a GUI add remove application? [08:19] yes nlsthzn it has [08:19] varunit: and you can't search and select totem? [08:20] i tried to remove totem from add/remove but the problem is it also removes audio-video properties [08:20] # rpm --help [08:20] The program 'rpm' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [08:20] apt-get install rpm [08:20] root@head:~/Python/Python Challenge# apt-get install rpm [08:20] i tried to remove totem from add/remove but the problem is it also removes audio-video properties [08:20] and i am getting an error when i right click to open any video file displays an error dialog box [08:21] varunit: what application to play video do you have installed now? [08:21] i have vlc now.. [08:21] varunit: so you can play video, but not get the properties? [08:21] yes.. the same [08:22] i am getting the properties after clicking ok in the error dialog box.. [08:22] varunit: Where you maybe able to see what packages where removed with totem? [08:22] i will post the error message now [08:22] Couldn't load the 'properties.ui' interface. The file does not exist. [08:22] make sure that totem is properly installed [08:23] UndiFineD: Empathy is ok for IRC one on one... I suspect that is why the main #ubuntu channel isn't working for me, because as soon as more than two people are posting it fails :) [08:23] not sure ofcourse, but --allmatches remove all packages which match [08:23] Couldn't load the 'properties.ui' interface. The file does not exist.. make sure that totem is properly installed [08:24] nlsthzn, and xchat is not ok for you ? [08:24] varunit: why do you want totem uninstalled... you can have it and vlc at the same time [08:24] yes.. but [08:24] i used to remove it after i have installed a fresh copy of linux [08:25] i have done without any problem in ubuntu.. but the problem is in fedora14 [08:25] could you please help me? [08:25] UndiFineD: I was using XChat and I loved it... just trying to stream line my Ubuntu experience... using all the tools the way the developers had intended it (using Empahty, Evolution, Gwibber etc.) [08:26] nlsthzn: try irssi :D [08:26] but totem is used by nautilus anyway, you can leave it there, and have videofiles opened by vlc as default [08:26] yes thanks any other way to remove totem.. [08:26] varunit: To be honsest I have just again came back from a few days of distro hopping back to Ubuntu because it is the one I am starting to understand the most and it does all I need... Your best bet is Fedora forum maybe... good luck [08:27] when you remove totem, it will ALWAYS remove audio-video properties [08:27] JoeMaverickSett: irssi... not heard of... will have a look thx [08:27] i am going to remove this fedora.. [08:27] nlsthzn: http://www.irssi.org [08:27] thanks nlsthzn for your kind help.. :) [08:28] ?is it same happened in ubuntu [08:28] varunit, pick up ubuntu and we may help you much better [08:28] sure thanks.. i have requested a free cd of 10.10 :) [08:29] JoeMaverickSett: Any reason you suggest irssi... having a look at the website now but would like a users input :) [08:30] is it the same ?, yes and no, ubuntu totem does work for most of my videos, but installing the -good - bad- ugly plugins and vlc, plays all for me [08:30] thank you very much for the help [08:30] vlc just runs side-by-side to toem for me [08:30] varunit: If you want you can download a ISO and go Ubuntu sooner ;) [08:31] ya.. i know.. :) [08:31] i have several other problem in ubuntu installing DB2 also [08:31] i will install ubuntu and will return here for help... [08:31] nlsthzn: well, as i'm fascinated by the cli, i try to use it as my knowldege could go, and irssi is a cli based irc client, so, i use it alot. that's all. :D [08:32] can you give me your mail id nlsthzn? so that i can ask my problems by mailing you.. can you? [08:32] also, fedora is mostly a distribution for developers, and ubuntu is much more daily user / beginner friendly [08:32] Ok :) (explains a bit the lack of screenshots on the site) ... think I will go back to XChat for now :D [08:33] nlsthzn: hehe! :D [08:33] rightly said undifined [08:33] good morning team [08:34] good morning, Puck` :) [08:34] varunit: give me a sec to switch clients and I will be back ;) [08:34] sure.. [08:35] as is state on my wiki, I have used many distro 's since 1995, but last year I wanted to use something easy, which simply works for me and the family, ubuntu has been a smooth ride since version 8.04 [08:36] yes nlsthzn your mail id please? [08:40] XChat again :D feels like home [08:41] I wish xchat had a horizontal split, so I could watch 2 channels at the same time [08:42] UndiFineD, true =]. I am watching 20 of them :D [08:42] Mohan_chml: wow, IRC power user! [08:43] lol :P [08:43] just 20 ? [08:43] UndiFineD: Hahaha [08:43] officially its 20 ^_^ [08:44] I am in 27 channels on 2 servers [08:45] Sheese... I got three channels open, this one is by far the most active :D [08:46] I have 4 personal channels for my own :D [08:47] oh yes I have channels open which hardly have any traffic too, but they are open to support on specific topic === JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett === devil__ is now known as Mohan_chml === AbhiJit_ is now known as AbhiJit [10:19] Hello.

[10:22] My day is okay thank you JoeMaverickSett , how is yours ? [10:22] Silver_Fox_: very much fine. been doing some helping on #ubuntu and an assignment mohi gave me. :) [11:25] I just installed ubuntu on my laptop, and chose the option to store the files on windows. I would like to go ahead and re-partition my hd, but i want to keep windows also (im not ready to make the full switch yet). I do not have an install disk for windows, will i lose the os by repartitioning? Btw i do have my personal data backed up [11:29] can anyone help? [11:31] !dualboot [11:31] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [11:31] i have no valid experiance in this [11:36] so when i repartition it doesnt format the hd? [11:37] it does not have to, unless you select the wrong partition to install linux upon [11:37] for what i have heard, keep windows on the first partition [11:38] ok also, i i wanted to share files between the oss's should i create a 3rd? [11:38] depends [11:38] you can use in windows ext2fs [11:39] http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2.html [11:39] linux can write to fat32 and ntfs filesystems, windows7 can somewhat write to ext2 [11:40] the highest chance for success is to create a third fat32 partition [11:40] can view files on the windows partition and vice versa? [11:40] can i* [11:41] right now, with ubuntu installed over windows i can access my data on windows could i do the same on seperate partitions? [11:41] hhhahahah fat32 [11:41] UndiFineD, you're kidding, right? [11:42] linux has a properly working NTFS support [11:42] well that took a while [11:42] I like my chicks as my partition FAT and 16 [11:42] fat32 has a 4gb file size limit tho right? [11:43] benpowers23, you're right [11:43] bioterror, I have not actively administered a windows system since 2001 [11:43] you're not going to move any 1080p movies [11:43] which is why i said, I have no valid experiance [11:44] i do back-up some dvds and the average iso file is more than 4 gb [11:46] also, i have a amd turion x2 64 bit proccessor should i install the 32 bit version of unbuntu? [11:46] ubuntu* [11:48] repends [11:48] benpowers23: You can install 32-bit yes, but as you have mentioned your CPU is 64-bit so 64-bit will also work [11:48] benpowers23, how much rum you have? [11:48] rum :D [11:48] RAM [11:48] no rum lol 4gb of ram tho [11:49] then 64Bit [11:50] ok [11:50] it was suggested to use 32 bit earlier because of the bugs in 64 [11:50] what bugs? :D [11:51] wow, liquid crystal memory, amazing [11:51] i dont know im new to this game thats just what i read [11:51] also i dont use any 64 bit programs [11:52] it's a different thing on linux, since all the programs are compiled to use 64bit [11:52] there are few bugs in 64bit, one of them is that they stopped supporting my xeon processor [11:52] hahaha [11:53] that stinks [11:53] I so need a new machine [11:53] UndiFineD, or different os, if linux kernel dropped support [11:53] one more and ill leave yall alone [11:53] bioterror, blasphemy [11:56] i use app inventor by google to write programs for my android phone. if there is no linux support for the drivers windows uses can i make it work somehow? [11:56] android was developed on linux, you find lots of resources for it [11:58] is there a reason to use the firefox that comes on ubuntu rather than chrome? [11:58] a good reason? [11:58] nope [11:59] ok [11:59] there's no reason to use firefox, chrome does same things and even faster and better. I think [11:59] but if you like firefox and you're not ready to sell that part of your soul to G, then use FireFox [12:00] it also work hand in hand with my phone [12:00] * JoeMaverickSett sold his soul to G! :D [12:00] no quite the opposite i am already sold [12:00] * UndiFineD has firefox, chrome, chromium, opera, links2 and some others [12:00] UndiFineD: +1 :D [12:01] whats the diff between chrome and chromium? [12:01] chrome is closed source, chromium is open [12:01] chrome is malmware :D [12:02] should i switch then? [12:02] you can [12:02] i dont mind, but i love chrome [12:02] there's no difference [12:02] as long as chromium has the same features [12:02] chrome send statics and stuff to google, chromium does not and chrome is bundled with flash [12:02] same addons and everything [12:02] ? [12:03] that's the difference [12:03] i still have no flash [12:03] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [12:03] i have chrome but no flash [12:03] ok [12:03] bioterror helping as usual? :) Howdy [12:03] hi [12:03] hello [12:04] i am reading the ubuntu pocketbook, will that help me with the commands and atleast get me on a start to understanding ubuntu?
