[08:56] <BeckySanderlin`x> its still sleepy time
[09:03] <andrew> nonsense
[09:03] <andrew> I just finished an hours worth of driving
[09:03] <andrew> I *should* sleep
[09:04] <andrew> but I'm not sleepy (and I smell like campfire)
[14:04] <InHisName> still awake, andrew ?
[14:14] <BeckySanderlin`x> prolly not
[15:58] <BeckySanderlin`x> All Internet porn “To be blocked” in the UK http://retwt.me/1Qcoy

[16:38] <jthan> andrew: morning
[20:46] <InHisName> How to get root privs to click and drag copies from one window to another in ubuntu ?
[20:47] <InHisName> andrew must only sleep while sun shines.  Just another hour or two and time to get up.
[20:47] <andrew> sudo mv, but if you really want to do it in the gui, install the nautilus run as administrator package thing, and you can right click and open the folder as root
[20:47] <InHisName> o hai andrew !
[20:48] <andrew> been up since just before noon
[20:48] <andrew> left md this morning ~2:45am
[20:49] <InHisName> figured you'd sleep till sundown.
[20:51] <ChinnoDog> Run as administrator?
[20:55] <jedijf> gksu
[20:59] <InHisName> How to 'run as administrtor' in ubuntu ?  [for future, I am copying]
[21:44] <jedijf> InHisName: gksu <name of app>
[21:51] <InHisName> what is name of app ---> 'file browser' ?
[21:52] <InHisName> better yet, how to discover name of any app from it's gui ?
[21:52] <jedijf> nautilus
[21:52] <jedijf> about is a clue
[21:52] <jedijf> usually under help
[21:55] <InHisName> My be clue, want to find exact text to use in terminal mode ?    e.g terminal   'Help about' shows --> GNOME Terminal 2.30.2       I doubt that all those chars are in the commandname.
[21:57] <InHisName> Tried right click on menu item --- Applications>Accessories>terminal   but no 'properties' to check for command name.
[22:02] <andrew> What are you trying to do again?
[22:05] <rmg51> besides confuse everyone? ;-)
[22:06] <jedijf> InHisName: try gksu gnome-term<tab>    tab is your friend - anything that starts Gnome is usually gnome-blahblah
[22:06] <jedijf> tab is your friend
[22:08] <andrew> I'd like to know InHisName 's goal before we help him down a road towards failure. (I get this way when anyone asks about opening random things as root.)
[22:08] <jedijf> in the right click area 'command' is more than a clue; it's Allen Iverson
[22:08] <jedijf> andrew: you're not at work
[22:09] <jedijf> he has the right to totally b0rk his system
[22:09] <InHisName> I have copied my 52GB of files to VDI directory.   Now just putting in notes to my cheat.txt file for future lookup.
[22:10] <jedijf> lol andrew will not be party to unnecessary root'age
[22:28] <andrew> Correct
[22:28] <andrew> It only causes more pain for us later
[23:13] <jedijf> no pain here; only entertainment
[23:21] <jedijf> 10 compaq armadas 7770dmt with original boxes - how great is that
[23:30] <jedijf> 1997 lives on

[23:42] <ChinnoDog> andrew: what is that?
[23:42] <andrew> a picture?
[23:45]  * ChinnoDog slaps andrew around a bit with a large trout
[23:45] <ChinnoDog> I knew that. What is it a picture of? It appears to be a distorted overhead view of a clearing with a trail.

[23:49] <ChinnoDog> ok...
[23:50] <andrew> It's a field, not really a trail
