| yax51 | ok s oI got a usb tuner for my computer, however when I plug it in, it doesn't even detect that there is anything there.... | 00:43 |
|---|---|---|
| yax51 | I suspect I may need drivers for it though.. | 00:44 |
| yax51 | does anyone know where I can find such drivers (if they even exist)? it's a ub435-q tv tuner | 00:56 |

| tdn | How do I change system language (menus and the like) to Danish? I would really like to do it from command line if possible. And for all users. | 09:19 |
| M0hi | tdn: I think setlocale will do | 09:30 |
| M0hi | !setlocale | 09:30 |
| ubot2` | Factoid 'setlocale' not found | 09:30 |
| M0hi | ah! | 09:30 |
| tdn | Is that a program I need to install? | 09:35 |
| tdn | M0hi, ? | 09:48 |
| Sidewinder1 | M0hi left, I believe. | 09:49 |
| tdn | Ok. | 09:49 |
| M0hi | tdn: you got the solution? | 11:53 |
| tdn | Yeah. By this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11223604#post11223604 | 12:02 |
| M0hi | tdn: mark that as solved. Lemme poke raja to be active here too :D | 12:06 |
| tdn | M0hi, it is marked solved? | 12:06 |
| M0hi | Oh yeah! sorry My bad | 12:07 |
| r4y | Is there another command that can replace this command?, or a modification to this command? I want it so that username doesn't have to be stated as my username to make it easier for a tutorial | 13:05 |
| r4y | sudo find ~/Desktop/roms -exec chown username.username \{} \; | 13:06 |
| geirha | -exec chown "$USER:" {} + | 13:08 |
| geirha | On second thought, that's dangerous. | 13:08 |
| geirha | do sudo chown -R "$USER:" ~/Desktop/roms instead | 13:09 |
| geirha | No find. | 13:09 |
| r4y | Thank you for the info | 13:11 |
| r4y | That worked. Thank you. I have another question. | 13:28 |
| r4y | Why use this command then this command after it: | 13:29 |
| r4y | find ~/Desktop/roms/ -type f -exec chmod 644 \{} \; | 13:29 |
| r4y | find ~/Desktop/roms/ -type d -exec chmod 755 \{} \; | 13:29 |
| geirha | You need execute permission on directories to be able to access them. On files, you only want execute bit if it's meant to be executable. | 13:30 |
| r4y | The files end up being marked with X's and locks, so I use these 3 commands to fix them | 13:31 |
| geirha | find ~/Desktop/roms \( -type f -o -type d \) -exec chmod u+rwX,go+rX {} + | 13:32 |
| geirha | Hm. That's odd | 13:32 |
| geirha | that last find will just add bits (if missing), so it won't remove the execute bit on a file that is meant to be executable. | 13:33 |
| r4y | torrentzip from sourceforge messes them up, so I left it as an option to use the source version from sourceforge with this a solution. The other torrentzip is not on sourceforge which doen't have this poblem | 13:33 |
| r4y | executable. You mean marked as executable?, I will have to look. | 13:34 |
| geirha | Actually, you could lose the find there too. chmod -R u+rwX,go+rX ~/Desktop/roms | 13:36 |
| r4y | this command fixed the X's so access permissions are fixed: | 13:36 |
| r4y | find ~/Desktop/roms/ -type f -exec chmod 644 \{} \; | 13:36 |
| r4y | the other didn't seem to do anything | 13:36 |
| r4y | I meant this command didn't seem to do anything: | 13:37 |
| r4y | find ~/Desktop/roms/ -type d -exec chmod 755 \{} \; | 13:37 |
| r4y | chmod -R u+rwX,go+rX ~/Desktop/roms worked for access permissions as well as find ~/Desktop/roms/ -type f -exec chmod 644 \{} \; | 13:41 |
| r4y | Does this command do anything?: | 13:41 |
| r4y | find ~/Desktop/roms/ -type d -exec chmod 755 \{} \; | 13:41 |
| r4y | I mean why should I even have it in my tutorial?, Or be using that command? | 13:43 |
| r4y | I should go study with google for a sec | 13:44 |
| r4y | I see, like you were trying to tell me: Files = 644 and Directories = 755 | 13:48 |
| r4y | http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=121470 | 13:49 |
| r4y | OK, so then the second command of the 2 isn't needed in my case because only the files need their permissions changed and not the folder holding it. Well at least that is what I have been perceiving over the past with this problem | 13:51 |
| r4y | thank you for the help | 13:51 |
| r4y | I will have to mess around with the 3rd command I have been asking about when dealing with torrentzip, just in case I am wrong here. TY and bye | 13:53 |

| LearnUbuntu | What is the new path for /etc/gdm/custom in 11.04? | 20:16 |
| geirha | /etc/gdm/custom.conf according to http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.32/configuration.html.en#daemonconfig | 20:22 |
| LearnUbuntu | geirha, true, but i do not find the file in 11.04 there is /etc/gdm/ [but no custom.conf] | 20:23 |
| geirha | LearnUbuntu: Well, I assume it'll be used if you create it | 20:41 |
| LearnUbuntu | solved thanks geirha | 20:41 |

| Antonjo | A little piece of advice by you experts. | 21:25 |
| Antonjo | In my insane efforts to get my driver working I keep on upgrading kernel. | 21:25 |
| Antonjo | Now I get to 3.0.4. With lubuntu and no apps opened I use 63 mega out of 211. | 21:25 |
| Antonjo | In any case everything seems smooth. Do you advise to downgrade? | 21:25 |
| holstein | Antonjo: ? | 21:32 |
| holstein | wifi? graphics? | 21:32 |
| holstein | i personally wouldnt feel unsafe running an older version of the linux kernel, unless theres a known vulnerability you are concerned about | 21:33 |
| Antonjo | wifi is ok | 21:38 |
| Antonjo | graphics also | 21:38 |
| holstein | Antonjo: of which driver do you speak? | 21:39 |
| Antonjo | i was installing a wifi stick | 21:40 |
| holstein | Antonjo: im unclear on your question | 21:40 |
| holstein | what are you inquiring about downgrading? | 21:40 |
| holstein | the kernel? | 21:40 |
| Antonjo | ok i'll tell better | 21:40 |
| Antonjo | the stick is a us robotics, and they all claim to use it with ndiswrapper | 21:41 |
| Antonjo | i was able to get ndiswrapper + originale inf working but | 21:42 |
| Antonjo | after some minutes the system froze | 21:42 |
| Antonjo | by chance i used a live Puppy and I discovered that it could use my stick out of the box | 21:43 |
| Antonjo | but without original inf | 21:43 |
| Antonjo | just simple prism driver | 21:43 |
| Antonjo | in fact i did the same via sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree | 21:43 |
| Antonjo | and everything is going smooth | 21:44 |
| Antonjo | the only thing is that since many claims some bugs in the kernel | 21:44 |
| Antonjo | i upgraded | 21:44 |
| Antonjo | from ....38 to ...39 | 21:44 |
| Antonjo | and so on | 21:45 |
| Antonjo | just before discovering the prism solution | 21:45 |
| Antonjo | p54usb | 21:45 |
| Antonjo | now I find myself with this kernel 3.0.4 | 21:46 |
| Antonjo | WHAT do you think of it? | 21:46 |
| Antonjo | do I keep it ? | 21:46 |
| holstein | no reason *not* to keep it | 21:46 |
| holstein | unless its particularly breaking some funcionality for you | 21:47 |
| Antonjo | no, but you know some say it is unsuppoted | 21:47 |
| holstein | some? | 21:47 |
| holstein | i mean, it either works or it dont | 21:47 |
| holstein | if its working, its working | 21:47 |
| holstein | i wouldnt sweat it... unless it stops working | 21:48 |
| Antonjo | other say too much memory | 21:48 |
| Antonjo | And I am a newbie | 21:48 |
| holstein | do what makes you feel comfortable | 21:48 |
| holstein | i would see about the memory usage before getting bent out of shape though | 21:49 |
| holstein | maybe run top, and monitor for a bit | 21:49 |
| Antonjo | 63 mega out of 211, without apps, it is lubuntu | 21:50 |
| Antonjo | so very fast | 21:51 |
| Antonjo | also on an old laptop | 21:51 |
| Antonjo | so thanks holstein | 21:52 |
| holstein | Antonjo: :) | 21:57 |
