[00:43] <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....
[00:44] <yax51> I suspect I may need drivers for it though..
[00:56] <yax51> does anyone know where I can find such drivers (if they even exist)? it's a ub435-q tv tuner
[09:19] <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.
[09:30] <M0hi> tdn: I think setlocale will do
[09:30] <M0hi> !setlocale
[09:30] <ubot2`> Factoid 'setlocale' not found
[09:30] <M0hi> ah!
[09:35] <tdn> Is that a program I need to install?
[09:48] <tdn> M0hi, ?
[09:49] <Sidewinder1> M0hi left, I believe.
[09:49] <tdn> Ok.
[11:53] <M0hi> tdn: you got the solution?
[12:02] <tdn> Yeah. By this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11223604#post11223604
[12:06] <M0hi> tdn: mark that as solved. Lemme poke raja to be active here too :D
[12:06] <tdn> M0hi, it is marked solved?
[12:07] <M0hi> Oh yeah! sorry My bad
[13:05] <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
[13:06] <r4y> sudo find ~/Desktop/roms -exec chown username.username \{} \;
[13:08] <geirha> -exec chown "$USER:" {} +
[13:08] <geirha> On second thought, that's dangerous.
[13:09] <geirha> do  sudo chown -R "$USER:" ~/Desktop/roms  instead
[13:09] <geirha> No find.
[13:11] <r4y> Thank you for the info
[13:28] <r4y> That worked. Thank you. I have another question.
[13:29] <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 \{} \;
[13:30] <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.
[13:31] <r4y> The files end up being marked with X's and locks, so I use these 3 commands to fix them
[13:32] <geirha> find ~/Desktop/roms \( -type f -o -type d \) -exec chmod u+rwX,go+rX {} +
[13:32] <geirha> Hm. That's odd
[13:33] <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
[13:34] <r4y> executable. You mean marked as executable?, I will have to look.
[13:36] <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
[13:37] <r4y> I meant this command didn't seem to do anything:
[13:37] <r4y> find ~/Desktop/roms/ -type d -exec chmod 755 \{} \;
[13:41] <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 \{} \;
[13:43] <r4y> I mean why should I even have it in my tutorial?, Or be using that command?
[13:44] <r4y> I should go study with google for a sec
[13:48] <r4y> I see, like you were trying to tell me:   Files = 644  and  Directories = 755
[13:49] <r4y> http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=121470
[13:51] <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
[13:53] <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
[14:51] <haqking> Greeting everyone ;-)
[18:04] <kristian-aalborg> hurm, my internet dies and dies and dies
[20:16] <LearnUbuntu> What is the new path for /etc/gdm/custom in 11.04?
[20:22] <geirha> /etc/gdm/custom.conf according to http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.32/configuration.html.en#daemonconfig
[20:23] <LearnUbuntu> geirha, true, but i do not find the file in 11.04 there is /etc/gdm/ [but no custom.conf]
[20:41] <geirha> LearnUbuntu: Well, I assume it'll be used if you create it
[20:41] <LearnUbuntu> solved thanks geirha
[20:48] <LearnUbuntu> How can i tell Ubuntu via terminal do not turn off my and auto logout or do not enable screen savers all the time, keep it as it is.
[20:53] <LearnUbuntu> I am from my another laptop connected to Ubuntu 11.04 via SSH. How can i from terminal open the VNC ? So that i can login.
[21:25] <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?
[21:32] <holstein> Antonjo: ?
[21:32] <holstein> wifi? graphics?
[21:33] <holstein> i personally wouldnt feel unsafe running an older version of the linux kernel, unless theres a known vulnerability you are concerned about
[21:38] <Antonjo> wifi is ok
[21:38] <Antonjo> graphics also
[21:39] <holstein> Antonjo: of which driver do you speak?
[21:40] <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
[21:41] <Antonjo> the stick is a us robotics, and they all claim to use it with ndiswrapper
[21:42] <Antonjo> i was able to get ndiswrapper + originale inf working but
[21:42] <Antonjo> after some minutes the system froze
[21:43] <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
[21:44] <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
[21:45] <Antonjo> and so on
[21:45] <Antonjo> just before discovering the prism solution
[21:45] <Antonjo> p54usb
[21:46] <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
[21:47] <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
[21:48] <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
[21:49] <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
[21:50] <Antonjo>  63 mega out of 211,  without apps, it is lubuntu
[21:51] <Antonjo> so very fast
[21:51] <Antonjo> also on an old laptop
[21:52] <Antonjo> so thanks holstein
[21:57] <holstein> Antonjo: :)
