jrmyany of you know what I download for wine?02:27
Unit193Wouldn't you just   sudo apt-get install wine02:29
jrmynext time i'll try before asking i guess...02:30
jrmybut i found a way on the website02:30
jrmynever asked this before how come i cant see my slave hdd?02:34
Unit193By "see" do you mean mount? What if you type in terminal   sudo blkid?02:35
Unit193(But don't type the question mark :P )02:36
jrmydid i do this right?02:42
jrmyhttp://paste2.org/p/156888002:42
Unit193Nope02:43

jrmyok so how do i mount it?02:43
Unit193More of a   sudo mkdir /media/storage && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/storage02:43
jrmyok02:44
jrmyhttp://paste2.org/p/156889402:46
Unit193Alright, looks like storage is already there (try to    ls /media/storage/   ) and you forgot to add a space :P02:48
w3bcrawleris there a way to automatically run a certain command on logout? ie rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions02:49
w3bcrawlerstupid session keeps saving02:49
jrmyok it appears to be there now02:50
Unit193w3bcrawler: Try unticking "Save Session for furure logins"02:51
Unit193... There should be a t or so in there :P02:51
w3bcrawlerit's unticked02:54
w3bcrawlerit's still saving the session02:54
Unit193That's a bit odd...02:54
w3bcrawlerit doesn't save the session when i log out, but when i restart/shutdown, it does. so maybe i should clear the session cache on shutdown or on startup02:55
w3bcrawleris the only way to add a command to bootup creating a script and dropping it in the /etc/init.d directory?03:12
jrmyok.. thats the only thing i hate about linux... is that i cant execute files downloaded off of the internet04:13
jrmyhow do i make it so no matter what i download i can execute it?04:13
Unit193What type of file?04:13
jrmymsi04:13
jrmyim trying to open it with wine04:14
orngjce223chmod +x is your friend; maybe you can drop it in a script; but really I don't think you should do that.04:14
orngjce223The point of the execute bit is to make you think about what you're downloading, that you /intend/ to run it before you run it.04:14
orngjce223Else we get dancingbunnies.jpg.exe type attacks.04:14
Unit193jrmy: Are you SURE you want to remove that? It's for security04:14
Unit193It can be done though04:15
orngjce223Yeah, by using a filesystem that doesn't support such things. If you downloaded it to a FAT partition for example it would assure you of that.04:15
jrmywell if i dont have to iwont04:15
orngjce223Among other methods of course04:15
jrmybut what about instances where i cant modify the file because of write protection?04:16
Unit193orngjce223: Do you happen to have wine? If you do, can you print me your exec line of /usr/share/applications/wine.desktop04:16
jrmyfor instance a file on a dvd04:16
jrmycommand not found?04:17
xrdodrxjrmy, you can invoke wine /media/cdrom/file.exe04:17
Unit193jrmy: Just like this? Bug #56967504:19

LardLol... IRC under installation of Xubuntu.12:48
LardThat cant even Mac OS X do. :)12:49
xrdodrx:)12:50
LardI think I soon need to reinstall Xubuntu on one machine. It runs 9.10 i think and now has an uptime over 6 mounths.12:51
LardIts a mini-ITX with via c3 1,5 GHz CPU and software raid1.12:51
LardIt runs ok but with over 100 updates I think the RAID will stop working if I install all that and reboot it. I have earlier had problem with booting on it. Im thinking of changing boot from raid to a 4GB CF card and have the raid as swap and home.12:53
LardThe machine has one free IDE-slot so I think it will work. It just stands and do some small work that do not need a fast system unit.12:56
LardSilent. People in the US sleeping?13:03
LardDarn it. Installation is complete. It was so fun to talk with you all here!13:10
Lard:)13:10
k_szeXubuntu isn't mounting the USB mass storage to a subdirectory of /media automatically, is that normal?15:48
k_szeI thought I have seen it mount automatically before.15:49
Sysik_sze: check settings manager → removable volumes/devices15:55
