| maciej_ | why can't i change a folder permissions to read only after sudo nautiluis | 02:14 |
| ChinnoDog | Are you on 10.10? | 02:14 |
| maciej_ | yes | 02:14 |
| ChinnoDog | just a sec. trying it. | 02:15 |
| maciej_ | after i change the file acces to read only as root it jumps back to "-" | 02:15 |
| ChinnoDog | oh, you mean on the top part of the permissions tab? | 02:16 |
| maciej_ | yeah | 02:17 |
| ChinnoDog | I think it is because that field is not relevant when setting permissions on a folder | 02:17 |
| maciej_ | i need to copy a folder to my sd card on my android phone but it has to be read only | 02:17 |
| andrew | evening | 02:17 |
| ChinnoDog | maciej_: then set folder access to "list files only" | 02:19 |
| ChinnoDog | If you 'ls -l' you will see that it only sets the read flag on the folder. | 02:19 |
| maciej_ | ok i see now, im very new at this, thank you | 02:21 |
| ChinnoDog | maciej_: who are you protecting the folder from? | 02:21 |
| maciej_ | the folder has audio.ogg files that i want to use for my ringtones but last i tried to copy the file to the android system it could only be read only | 02:22 |
| ChinnoDog | Meaning it was not selectable as a ringtone if it was not read only? | 02:22 |
| maciej_ | i couldn't place the folder in the audio section of android , i was moving the folder from my sd card | 02:23 |
| maciej_ | let me see if it works | 02:24 |
| ChinnoDog | Are you putting the file in /sdcard/ringtones or /syste/media/audio/ringtones? | 02:28 |
| ChinnoDog | oops | 02:28 |
| ChinnoDog | /system/media/audio/ringtones | 02:28 |
| maciej_ | system media audio ringtones | 02:29 |
| ChinnoDog | The files in there are mode 644 | 02:31 |
| ChinnoDog | root is owner and has write access. Are you saying android complains if group or other access has +w? | 02:32 |
| ChinnoDog | There are ringtones in here I didn't even know existed. They must have come down with an OTA update. | 02:33 |
| maciej_ | i couldn't copy the folder, the folder has permissions rwxrwxr-x | 02:34 |
| maciej_ | i may just need to find an app that lets me change the folder permissions on android | 02:35 |
| maciej_ | i dont understand why i can't make a folder read only on ubuntu | 02:35 |
| ChinnoDog | oh. I am browsing the file system from connectbot on the phone... | 02:35 |
| maciej_ | are you able to long press on a folder and have an option to change permissions? | 02:36 |
| ChinnoDog | I'm browsing from a terminal | 02:36 |
| ChinnoDog | Astro might let you do it. I don't currently have it installed | 02:36 |
| maciej_ | why is it so hard to make a folder read only on here, i may try on windwos, i know its a simple check box to make a folder read only | 02:36 |
| ChinnoDog | I still don't understand why you want the folder to be read only.. | 02:37 |
| ChinnoDog | You want more permissions, not less | 02:37 |
| ChinnoDog | unix permisisons and windows permissions work differently. The result is the same as what I told you. | 02:37 |
| maciej_ | when i move the folder with the ogg files to system/media/audio/notifications- a warning says cannot paste here because the file system is read only | 02:38 |
| maciej_ | maybe i need to change permissions of the folder i'm trying to copy to | 02:39 |
| ChinnoDog | Did you root the phone? | 02:39 |
| maciej_ | yeah | 02:39 |
| ChinnoDog | So you can just log into it with a terminal and change the permissions on the folder there. | 02:39 |
| maciej_ | terminal on android? | 02:41 |
| ChinnoDog | Yes, like ConnectBot | 02:41 |
| ChinnoDog | I use Irssi ConnectBot which was forked to make using irssi easier in the terminal | 02:41 |
| ChinnoDog | But, why are you so resistant to putting you ringtone on your SD card? | 02:41 |
| ChinnoDog | s/you/your | 02:41 |
| maciej_ | i guess i dont have to put the new notifications with the system notifications, android will just scan the disk youre saying? | 02:43 |
| ChinnoDog | According to this it will: http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/5930-definitive-androids-folder-structure.html | 02:43 |

| andrew | or the website returns something different for his user-agent? | 02:51 |
| ChinnoDog | What user-agent is he sending? | 02:52 |

| andrew | try switching your user agent to that and visiting the android site | 02:54 |
| ChinnoDog | idk how to do that in chrome | 02:54 |
| ChinnoDog | I guess I could override it in ff | 02:54 |

| ChinnoDog | oh. I don't have that plugin installed | 02:54 |
| MutantTurkey | chrome hmmm? | 02:56 |
| MutantTurkey | does ubuntu provide chrome or chromium? | 02:57 |
| andrew | ium | 02:58 |
| ChinnoDog | I use chrome from the google repo i think | 02:58 |
| andrew | but chrome is easy enough to install | 02:58 |
| ChinnoDog | ah. I got the Modify Headers extension working in chrome | 03:04 |
| ChinnoDog | I mean ff, not chrome | 03:04 |
| ChinnoDog | andrew: androidforums.com looks the same with this header... | 03:05 |

| pleia2 | sheesh, you guys are having another busy winter | 20:08 |
| JonathanD | weather people told us this would be a "mild winter" | 20:08 |
| pleia2 | not truth | 20:08 |
| JonathanD | maybe they meant in australia. | 20:09 |
| JonathanD | wait, hasn't been mild there either. | 20:09 |
| ChinnoDog | Phil's not going to be able to come out of his hole this year | 20:09 |
| waltman | Nor has it been winter. | 20:09 |
| ChinnoDog | s/Phil's not/Phil isn't/ (idk how I did that...) | 20:10 |
| waltman | either way works | 20:10 |
| ChinnoDog | "Phil's" doesn't work last I checked. It denotes posession, not a contraction. | 20:11 |
| pleia2 | it's a contraction for "Phil is" | 20:12 |
| pleia2 | it's fine | 20:12 |
| waltman | what pleia2 said | 20:13 |
| waltman | pleia2: we don't even want to know what the weather's like in SF today, do we? | 20:13 |
| ChinnoDog | Since when can you use an apostrophe after the noun as a contraction? | 20:13 |
| pleia2 | waltman: nope | 20:13 |
| pleia2 | the general rule I use is "thing's" ok if it can be expanded to "thing is" | 20:14 |
| pleia2 | or if it's actually posesseive | 20:14 |
| waltman | ChinnoDog: It's a common contraction. | 20:14 |
| pleia2 | "she's going to the store" | 20:14 |
| waltman | It's a common contraction." | 20:14 |
| ChinnoDog | http://blog.writersdigest.com/qq/Contractions+With+Proper+Nouns+Brians+A+Baseball+Fan.aspx | 20:18 |
| ChinnoDog | I guess your right, there is no rule against it | 20:18 |
| PennBot | Title: Writer's Digest Questions and Quandaries - Contractions With Proper Nouns (Brian's a baseball Fan) (at blog.writersdigest.com) | 20:18 |
| ChinnoDog | I never use it with a proper noun though. | 20:18 |
| ChinnoDog | I do use it with personal pronouns though | 20:19 |
| ChinnoDog | That is interesting... a convention I was unaware I was following. | 20:20 |
| waltman | ChinnoDog: Hint -- when questioning proper apostrophe usage, perhaps it's a good idea to not confuse your and you're :) | 20:23 |
| ChinnoDog | :-p Yes, you're right. I do that all the time. | 20:24 |
| pleia2 | english is hard | 20:24 |
| jedijf | your/you're is my fail...until i hit enter then i realize it...need a takeback button | 20:25 |
| waltman | That's why I try to stick with "ur" :) | 20:26 |
| ChinnoDog | PennBot needs a grammer check so he can be sure we are all speaking the King's English. | 20:26 |
| PennBot | Got it, ChinnoDog. | 20:26 |
| waltman | It's really odd how that works. I do that all the time, too. I guess they're mapped together in my brain somehow. | 20:27 |
| jedijf | i blame it on rushing or multitasking | 20:28 |
| jedijf | which i know humans can't do..... | 20:28 |
| jedijf | but i try and fail constantly..... | 20:28 |
| ChinnoDog | The first time I saw "we've cheeseburger" I didn't like that either, but I had to accept that usage too. | 20:29 |
| waltman | ChinnoDog: That's more of a British usage. It's not common in USAnian English. | 20:30 |
| ChinnoDog | The person that wrote it was British. :-) | 20:30 |
| ChinnoDog | Or at least, that is where he learned English. He had an accent. | 20:31 |
| andrew | pleia2: Do you have a problem with our weekly midweek winter storms? | 20:45 |
| pleia2 | andrew: problem? no | 20:46 |
| pleia2 | a little sad that PA didn't decide to let loose with the awesome winters until I left though | 20:46 |
| andrew | Come back! It's not too late | 20:48 |
| JonathanD | Does anyone happen to have a thinkpad x200? :) | 20:52 |
