[00:05] <jrmy> is there a certain way i can change how my mouses buttons function?
[00:05] <jrmy> for some reason my middle button doesnt allow auto scrolling
[01:51] <bkerensa> Anyone know why after like a few hours Xubuntu Desktop goes to black boot screen with text and just sits there?
[01:59] <w3bcrawler> so my sessions were always saving when logging in/logging out despite the option not being checked.. and now it still keeps saving the session when i restart or shutdown.. wtf?
[02:27] <jrmy> any of you know what I download for wine?
[02:29] <Unit193> Wouldn't you just   sudo apt-get install wine
[02:30] <jrmy> next time i'll try before asking i guess...
[02:30] <jrmy> but i found a way on the website
[02:34] <jrmy> never asked this before how come i cant see my slave hdd?
[02:35] <Unit193> By "see" do you mean mount? What if you type in terminal   sudo blkid?
[02:36] <Unit193> (But don't type the question mark :P )
[02:42] <jrmy> did i do this right?
[02:42] <jrmy> http://paste2.org/p/1568880
[02:43] <Unit193> Nope
[02:43] <jrmy> ok so how do i mount it?
[02:43] <Unit193> More of a   sudo mkdir /media/storage && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/storage
[02:44] <jrmy> ok
[02:46] <jrmy> http://paste2.org/p/1568894
[02:48] <Unit193> Alright, looks like storage is already there (try to    ls /media/storage/   ) and you forgot to add a space :P
[02:49] <w3bcrawler> is there a way to automatically run a certain command on logout? ie rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions
[02:49] <w3bcrawler> stupid session keeps saving
[02:50] <jrmy> ok it appears to be there now
[02:51] <Unit193> w3bcrawler: Try unticking "Save Session for furure logins"
[02:51] <Unit193> ... There should be a t or so in there :P
[02:54] <w3bcrawler> it's unticked
[02:54] <w3bcrawler> it's still saving the session
[02:54] <Unit193> That's a bit odd...
[02:55] <w3bcrawler> it 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 startup
[03:12] <w3bcrawler> is the only way to add a command to bootup creating a script and dropping it in the /etc/init.d directory?
[04:13] <jrmy> ok.. thats the only thing i hate about linux... is that i cant execute files downloaded off of the internet
[04:13] <jrmy> how do i make it so no matter what i download i can execute it?
[04:13] <Unit193> What type of file?
[04:13] <jrmy> msi
[04:14] <jrmy> im trying to open it with wine
[04:14] <orngjce223> chmod +x is your friend; maybe you can drop it in a script; but really I don't think you should do that.
[04:14] <orngjce223> The 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] <orngjce223> Else we get dancingbunnies.jpg.exe type attacks.
[04:14] <Unit193> jrmy: Are you SURE you want to remove that? It's for security
[04:15] <Unit193> It can be done though
[04:15] <orngjce223> Yeah, 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] <jrmy> well if i dont have to iwont
[04:15] <orngjce223> Among other methods of course
[04:16] <jrmy> but what about instances where i cant modify the file because of write protection?
[04:16] <Unit193> orngjce223: Do you happen to have wine? If you do, can you print me your exec line of /usr/share/applications/wine.desktop
[04:16] <jrmy> for instance a file on a dvd
[04:17] <jrmy> command not found?
[04:17] <xrdodrx> jrmy, you can invoke wine /media/cdrom/file.exe
[04:19] <Unit193> jrmy: Just like this? Bug #569675
[04:19] <jrmy> xrdodrx: so that works for cd/dvd?
[04:20] <jrmy> im lost....
[08:22] <incorrect> xfce is really what i should have been running on my netbook
[12:48] <Lard> Lol... IRC under installation of Xubuntu.
[12:49] <Lard> That cant even Mac OS X do. :)
[12:50] <xrdodrx> :)
[12:51] <Lard> I 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] <Lard> Its a mini-ITX with via c3 1,5 GHz CPU and software raid1.
[12:53] <Lard> It 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.
[12:56] <Lard> The 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.
[13:03] <Lard> Silent. People in the US sleeping?
[13:10] <Lard> Darn it. Installation is complete. It was so fun to talk with you all here!
[13:10] <Lard> :)
[15:48] <k_sze> Xubuntu isn't mounting the USB mass storage to a subdirectory of /media automatically, is that normal?
[15:49] <k_sze> I thought I have seen it mount automatically before.
[15:55] <Sysi> k_sze: check settings manager → removable volumes/devices
[19:53] <ChristopherNG> Heh! if this came out now it would be regarded "racist" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCH1IlOfDTM
[20:40] <dodgefan67> hey!
[20:40] <dodgefan67> anyone familiar with autofs?
