| KM0201 | is there a way (using video files as ane xample).. you can make the icon " preview".. of the video.. rather than just a general .avi icon? | 06:13 |
|---|---|---|
| bioterror | yes | 06:13 |
| bioterror | was there a size settings for creating thumbnails? | 06:14 |
| bioterror | or was it thunar | 06:14 |
| KM0201 | i think that was thunar | 06:14 |
| ubontoo-us3r | what's the command line to edit grub2 | 06:51 |
| bioterror | depends | 06:51 |
| Unit193 | What do you need to change? | 06:52 |
| ubontoo-us3r | i want to change the default o.s to load | 06:52 |
| ubontoo-us3r | I mean, i want a certain o.s to load so i dont have to wait when i reboot and press up or down arrow | 06:52 |
| bioterror | I dont usually wait, I press enter | 06:53 |
| bioterror | if I want to boot to Windows, I choose Windoze from the menu and press enter | 06:53 |
| Unit193 | You can edit /etc/default/grub | 06:53 |
| bioterror | otherwise it will boot into GNU/Linux | 06:53 |
| ubontoo-us3r | unit193 thnx you | 06:55 |
| Unit193 | Remember, it starts counting from zero | 06:55 |

| MoShah | Hi, I'm trying to setup two monitors at the same time and one should be setup as an extended desktop. However, Everytime I restart Lubuntu 11.04 the setting doesn't save and I have to use xrandr again to reset it. | 16:49 |
| MoShah | Any ideas why this is happening please? | 16:50 |
| Ogi0n | is there a software out there that helps speed up file transfer betwee hdd ? | 19:16 |
| avelldiroll | if the bus between the two drives is set up correctly, not really | 19:18 |
| bioterror | keep those hard drives on different cables if using PATA | 19:19 |
| avelldiroll | if the performance is below the capacity announced by the drives, there might be a problem there, but appart from choosing a different filesystem depending on your usecase there is not much you can do | 19:20 |
| Ogi0n | I'm using SATA and im transfering about 150 gig, the problem is the file transfer rate is around 30 MB/s and it takes about an hour or so to finish | 19:20 |
| avelldiroll | sata or sata2 ? | 19:20 |
| bioterror | 30MB/s is okay | 19:20 |
| bioterror | 30-40MB/s is what you get from 7200RPM hdd | 19:21 |
| Ogi0n | i think its sata | 19:21 |
| bioterror | and ofcourse the seek time and so on affects too ;) | 19:22 |
| Ogi0n | wait i think its sata2 since its a 3Gb/s | 19:22 |
| avelldiroll | 7200rpm ? size of cache ? | 19:22 |
| Ogi0n | 72000 RPM 32 Mb cache, 1 TB space | 19:23 |
| Ogi0n | its tihs one, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185 well i guess ill just go afk while it transfer, cuz my comp becomes slow when transfering files and I cant play games like cod. thnx guys | 19:25 |
| kvarley | How can I copy something as sudo but keep the permissions of the files I'm copying? | 19:30 |
| kvarley | Usually when I copy things as sudo it means no user who isn't sudo can access them | 19:30 |
| bioterror | chmod them | 19:30 |
| kvarley | bioterror: They will have different permissions though as they were created originally by samba users on a zentyal server | 19:31 |
| bioterror | zentyal :G | 19:31 |
| kvarley | bioterror: Is there no way to preserve permissions? | 19:31 |
| kvarley | bioterror: What's wrong with zentyal? lol | 19:31 |
| bioterror | http://forum.zentyal.org/index.php/topic,5259.msg21472.html :D | 19:33 |
| bioterror | I'm just too demanding ;) | 19:34 |
| kvarley | bioterror: I accept that the way it manages network ifaces is pretty weird | 19:35 |
| kvarley | bioterror: But for the most part it's alright, comes with some goodies configured already for you anyway | 19:36 |
| bioterror | it was rather okay, it was better than ipcop or ipfire | 19:36 |
| bioterror | but still, I decided to keep using pfSense | 19:36 |
| kvarley | This is irritating me somewhat, I can't access /home/samba/shares/InsertShareNameHere because of the permissions | 19:38 |
| kvarley | But I can't find a way to login as a user that does have the correct permissions :( | 19:38 |
| bioterror | su user | 19:38 |
| kvarley | That'll dump me in a su session though? | 19:38 |
| bioterror | or | 19:39 |
| bioterror | you can: sudo bash | 19:39 |
| kvarley | DOH | 19:39 |
| bioterror | and then: su user | 19:39 |
| kvarley | I got it | 19:39 |
| bioterror | with root su'ing to another user, you dont need his passwords | 19:39 |
| kvarley | For some reason doing smb://serverName/share didn't work | 19:39 |
| kvarley | But I did network:/// in pcmanfm and went to the server from there and it works | 19:39 |
| kvarley | bioterror: So doing su user will copy files with the permissions of the user specified and not su? | 19:40 |
| avelldiroll | kvarley: your are searching for "cp -p" p is for "preserve", (or just use "cp -a") | 19:43 |
| kvarley | avelldiroll: That'll work, thank you very much! You've saved me some time =D | 19:44 |
| avelldiroll | kvarley: another way to do this would be to fine tune your permissions with a sgid on the directory, or using ACLs if you need them | 19:45 |
| kvarley | ACLs? I have seen that somewhere on the permissions page of the server backend. | 19:46 |
| avelldiroll | kvarley | bioterror: What's wrong with zentyal? <-- like all web control panel, the only way to secure them is to know how to do everything without them | 19:51 |
| Darth_Tux | hi all, setting up l;ubuntu as an ssh server, how after it is set up do i connect from another computer? | 19:55 |
| bioterror | ssh user@computer | 19:56 |
| Darth_Tux | bioterror, and what goes where computer is ? | 19:56 |
| Darth_Tux | i guess that is more the question | 19:57 |
| bioterror | ssh user@hostname | 19:57 |
| bioterror | ssh user@ip.add.res.s | 19:57 |
| bioterror | !ssh | Darth_Tux | 19:57 |
| ubot5 | Darth_Tux: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 19:57 |
| avelldiroll | Darth_Tux: ip fqdn or lan name if you have a local dns | 19:57 |
| bioterror | !sshd | Darth_Tux | 19:57 |

| bioterror | there you go | 19:58 |
| Ogi0n | hey guys, i made two accounts, Admin and Guest, how do I make it so that Guest cannot access Admin home folder? | 22:32 |
| KM0201 | Ogi0n: it shouldn't be able to. | 22:33 |
| KM0201 | guest should get a permission error if he/she tries to browse to the Admin Home folder | 22:33 |
| Ogi0n | it did, i log out log onto Guest, then went to home folder, go up one level, saw Admin folder and open it., and i can view and open the files of Admin folder | 22:33 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 22:34 |
| KM0201 | that shoudlnt be | 22:34 |
| KM0201 | did you create a home partition?.. or you just using the default install? (/swap and /) | 22:34 |
| Ogi0n | what do you do to make it not accessible to other users? | 22:34 |
| Ogi0n | yea | 22:34 |
| KM0201 | Ogi0n: it yeah what?.. thats a two part question | 22:35 |
| Ogi0n | just default with admin first and all that, now i create a new account called guest that is not admin | 22:35 |
| Ogi0n | i didnt careate home partition, just the default set up | 22:35 |
| KM0201 | Ogi0n: i dunno, something screwy if the guest account can access the admin folder. | 22:35 |
| KM0201 | unless for some reason, the permissions are being retained when you log out. | 22:36 |
| Ogi0n | hmm ill try that | 22:36 |
| Ogi0n | it didnt work when I restart my computer | 22:46 |
| Ogi0n | Anyone know how I can prevent non-admin user to access Admin home folder? | 22:48 |
| Ogi0n | ya I got it now, I had to go to Home folder and right click properties set Permission of Admin to Others: None | 23:08 |
| Ogi0n | it would've been nice if it was default | 23:10 |
| Ogi0n | good thing I use truecrypt, and i got my important files lock up | 23:10 |
| KM0201 | it should have "been" that way by default... not sure why it wasn't. | 23:32 |
| phillw | KM0201: There is actually an opposite argument going on.... people who go 'ooh, I'll encrypt my home folder' then forget / lose the password. I, and others, do not think that is a really sensible option as there is exactly zero we can do to help them.... it's gone - tough...... these people are used to a 'hack' to bypass security, it is not there! | 23:45 |
| KM0201 | but that wasn't the case here.... his issue didn't have anything to do w/ encryption | 23:46 |
