[00:06] no configure/make experts around lately ? [00:31] ubuntu = fail for development. end of discussion [00:31] circular depends, all sorts of crap i've run into. version problems. meh. [00:32] lets laugh at this link : http://xkcd.com/754/ [00:32] Title: xkcd: Dependencies (at xkcd.com) [00:43] It shoulda been cpsc432 - cpsc433 prereq and cpsc433 - cpsc432 prereq [00:58] hehe [02:14] why can't i change a folder permissions to read only after sudo nautiluis [02:14] Are you on 10.10? [02:14] yes [02:15] just a sec. trying it. [02:15] after i change the file acces to read only as root it jumps back to "-" [02:16] oh, you mean on the top part of the permissions tab? [02:17] yeah [02:17] I think it is because that field is not relevant when setting permissions on a folder [02:17] i need to copy a folder to my sd card on my android phone but it has to be read only [02:17] evening [02:19] maciej_: then set folder access to "list files only" [02:19] If you 'ls -l' you will see that it only sets the read flag on the folder. [02:21] ok i see now, im very new at this, thank you [02:21] maciej_: who are you protecting the folder from? [02:22] 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] Meaning it was not selectable as a ringtone if it was not read only? [02:23] i couldn't place the folder in the audio section of android , i was moving the folder from my sd card [02:24] let me see if it works [02:28] Are you putting the file in /sdcard/ringtones or /syste/media/audio/ringtones? [02:28] oops [02:28] /system/media/audio/ringtones [02:29] system media audio ringtones [02:31] The files in there are mode 644 [02:32] root is owner and has write access. Are you saying android complains if group or other access has +w? [02:33] There are ringtones in here I didn't even know existed. They must have come down with an OTA update. [02:34] i couldn't copy the folder, the folder has permissions rwxrwxr-x [02:35] i may just need to find an app that lets me change the folder permissions on android [02:35] i dont understand why i can't make a folder read only on ubuntu [02:35] oh. I am browsing the file system from connectbot on the phone... [02:36] are you able to long press on a folder and have an option to change permissions? [02:36] I'm browsing from a terminal [02:36] Astro might let you do it. I don't currently have it installed [02:36] 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 [02:37] I still don't understand why you want the folder to be read only.. [02:37] You want more permissions, not less [02:37] unix permisisons and windows permissions work differently. The result is the same as what I told you. [02:38] 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 [02:39] maybe i need to change permissions of the folder i'm trying to copy to [02:39] Did you root the phone? [02:39] yeah [02:39] So you can just log into it with a terminal and change the permissions on the folder there. [02:41] terminal on android? [02:41] Yes, like ConnectBot [02:41] I use Irssi ConnectBot which was forked to make using irssi easier in the terminal [02:41] But, why are you so resistant to putting you ringtone on your SD card? [02:41] s/you/your [02:43] i guess i dont have to put the new notifications with the system notifications, android will just scan the disk youre saying? [02:43] According to this it will: http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/5930-definitive-androids-folder-structure.html [02:44] PennBot: Are you awake? [02:44] Dunno, ChinnoDog. [02:44] andrew: Is PennBot's web browser broken? [02:44] thats easy enough [02:45] So you were just making this difficult this whole time? hehe [02:45] yes [02:47] PennBot: ping [02:47] pong [02:47] http://www.google.com [02:47] Title: Google (at www.google.com) [02:47] http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/5930-definitive-androids-folder-structure.html [02:47] hmm [02:48] Guess we were no longer useful to her.

[02:51] or the website returns something different for his user-agent? [02:52] What user-agent is he sending? [02:52] dunno off hand [02:52] give him a url that you can pull the logs from [02:52] http://www.chinnodog.com [02:52] Title: ChinnoDogs blog - Just me and my inflatable life.

I don't have that plugin installed [02:56] chrome hmmm? [02:57] does ubuntu provide chrome or chromium? [02:58] ium [02:58] I use chrome from the google repo i think [02:58] but chrome is easy enough to install [03:04] ah. I got the Modify Headers extension working in chrome [03:04] I mean ff, not chrome [03:05] andrew: androidforums.com looks the same with this header... [03:07] Must be a genuine bug [03:07] dunno [03:08] report it then [03:16] andrew: What category is this? plugin or core module? [03:16] or 3rd party?

[06:35] restarting [12:45] so quiet around here [12:45] GOOD MORNING !!!! [12:48] Good bacon to all! [13:01] morning [13:01] I hope you brought enough for the whole class. [14:01] Well, I FINALLY made the install work. I am now UNdeleting "permanently" deleted files from an ext4 file system. [14:12] now boot back to normal system [16:58] sup, turkey? [19:20] WokFi++ [19:20] Why didn't I think of that? [20:07] "Additional sleet accumulation up to 1 inch" [20:07] That is a lot of ice [20:08] sheesh, you guys are having another busy winter [20:08] weather people told us this would be a "mild winter" [20:08] not truth [20:09] maybe they meant in australia. [20:09] wait, hasn't been mild there either. [20:09] Phil's not going to be able to come out of his hole this year [20:09] Nor has it been winter. [20:10] s/Phil's not/Phil isn't/ (idk how I did that...) [20:10] either way works [20:11] "Phil's" doesn't work last I checked. It denotes posession, not a contraction. [20:12] it's a contraction for "Phil is" [20:12] it's fine [20:13] what pleia2 said [20:13] pleia2: we don't even want to know what the weather's like in SF today, do we? [20:13] Since when can you use an apostrophe after the noun as a contraction? [20:13] waltman: nope [20:14] the general rule I use is "thing's" ok if it can be expanded to "thing is" [20:14] or if it's actually posesseive [20:14] ChinnoDog: It's a common contraction. [20:14] "she's going to the store" [20:14] It's a common contraction." [20:18] http://blog.writersdigest.com/qq/Contractions+With+Proper+Nouns+Brians+A+Baseball+Fan.aspx [20:18] I guess your right, there is no rule against it [20:18] Title: Writer's Digest Questions and Quandaries - Contractions With Proper Nouns (Brian's a baseball Fan) (at blog.writersdigest.com) [20:18] I never use it with a proper noun though. [20:19] I do use it with personal pronouns though [20:20] That is interesting... a convention I was unaware I was following. [20:23] ChinnoDog: Hint -- when questioning proper apostrophe usage, perhaps it's a good idea to not confuse your and you're :) [20:24] :-p Yes, you're right. I do that all the time. [20:24] english is hard [20:25] your/you're is my fail...until i hit enter then i realize it...need a takeback button [20:26] That's why I try to stick with "ur" :) [20:26] PennBot needs a grammer check so he can be sure we are all speaking the King's English. [20:26] Got it, ChinnoDog. [20:27] It's really odd how that works. I do that all the time, too. I guess they're mapped together in my brain somehow. [20:28] i blame it on rushing or multitasking [20:28] which i know humans can't do..... [20:28] but i try and fail constantly..... [20:29] The first time I saw "we've cheeseburger" I didn't like that either, but I had to accept that usage too. [20:30] ChinnoDog: That's more of a British usage. It's not common in USAnian English. [20:30] The person that wrote it was British. :-) [20:31] Or at least, that is where he learned English. He had an accent. [20:45] pleia2: Do you have a problem with our weekly midweek winter storms? [20:46] andrew: problem? no [20:46] a little sad that PA didn't decide to let loose with the awesome winters until I left though [20:48] Come back! It's not too late [20:52] Does anyone happen to have a thinkpad x200? :) === Mike_ is now known as Guest28903 [23:00] good bacon to all!
