[00:43] 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] I suspect I may need drivers for it though.. [00:56] does anyone know where I can find such drivers (if they even exist)? it's a ub435-q tv tuner === DoomsDayHQ is now known as DystaN [09:19] 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] tdn: I think setlocale will do [09:30] !setlocale [09:30] Factoid 'setlocale' not found [09:30] ah! [09:35] Is that a program I need to install? [09:48] M0hi, ? [09:49] M0hi left, I believe. [09:49] Ok. [11:53] tdn: you got the solution? [12:02] Yeah. By this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11223604#post11223604 [12:06] tdn: mark that as solved. Lemme poke raja to be active here too :D [12:06] M0hi, it is marked solved? [12:07] Oh yeah! sorry My bad [13:05] 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] sudo find ~/Desktop/roms -exec chown username.username \{} \; [13:08] -exec chown "$USER:" {} + [13:08] On second thought, that's dangerous. [13:09] do sudo chown -R "$USER:" ~/Desktop/roms instead [13:09] No find. [13:11] Thank you for the info [13:28] That worked. Thank you. I have another question. [13:29] Why use this command then this command after it: [13:29] find ~/Desktop/roms/ -type f -exec chmod 644 \{} \; [13:29] find ~/Desktop/roms/ -type d -exec chmod 755 \{} \; [13:30] 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] The files end up being marked with X's and locks, so I use these 3 commands to fix them [13:32] find ~/Desktop/roms $ -type f -o -type d $ -exec chmod u+rwX,go+rX {} + [13:32] Hm. That's odd [13:33] 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] 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] executable. You mean marked as executable?, I will have to look. [13:36] Actually, you could lose the find there too. chmod -R u+rwX,go+rX ~/Desktop/roms [13:36] this command fixed the X's so access permissions are fixed: [13:36] find ~/Desktop/roms/ -type f -exec chmod 644 \{} \; [13:36] the other didn't seem to do anything [13:37] I meant this command didn't seem to do anything: [13:37] find ~/Desktop/roms/ -type d -exec chmod 755 \{} \; [13:41] 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] Does this command do anything?: [13:41] find ~/Desktop/roms/ -type d -exec chmod 755 \{} \; [13:43] I mean why should I even have it in my tutorial?, Or be using that command? [13:44] I should go study with google for a sec [13:48] I see, like you were trying to tell me: Files = 644 and Directories = 755 [13:49] http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=121470 [13:51] 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] thank you for the help [13:53] 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 === raju1 is now known as genupulas [14:51] Greeting everyone ;-) === raju1 is now known as genupulas === yofel_ is now known as yofel [18:04] hurm, my internet dies and dies and dies [20:16] What is the new path for /etc/gdm/custom in 11.04? [20:22] /etc/gdm/custom.conf according to http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.32/configuration.html.en#daemonconfig [20:23] geirha, true, but i do not find the file in 11.04 there is /etc/gdm/ [but no custom.conf] [20:41] LearnUbuntu: Well, I assume it'll be used if you create it [20:41] solved thanks geirha [20:48] 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] 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] A little piece of advice by you experts. [21:25] In my insane efforts to get my driver working I keep on upgrading kernel. [21:25] Now I get to 3.0.4. With lubuntu and no apps opened I use 63 mega out of 211. [21:25] In any case everything seems smooth. Do you advise to downgrade? [21:32] Antonjo: ? [21:32] wifi? graphics? [21:33] i personally wouldnt feel unsafe running an older version of the linux kernel, unless theres a known vulnerability you are concerned about [21:38] wifi is ok [21:38] graphics also [21:39] Antonjo: of which driver do you speak? [21:40] i was installing a wifi stick [21:40] Antonjo: im unclear on your question [21:40] what are you inquiring about downgrading? [21:40] the kernel? [21:40] ok i'll tell better [21:41] the stick is a us robotics, and they all claim to use it with ndiswrapper [21:42] i was able to get ndiswrapper + originale inf working but [21:42] after some minutes the system froze [21:43] by chance i used a live Puppy and I discovered that it could use my stick out of the box [21:43] but without original inf [21:43] just simple prism driver [21:43] in fact i did the same via sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree [21:44] and everything is going smooth [21:44] the only thing is that since many claims some bugs in the kernel [21:44] i upgraded [21:44] from ....38 to ...39 [21:45] and so on [21:45] just before discovering the prism solution [21:45] p54usb [21:46] now I find myself with this kernel 3.0.4 [21:46] WHAT do you think of it? [21:46] do I keep it ? [21:46] no reason *not* to keep it [21:47] unless its particularly breaking some funcionality for you [21:47] no, but you know some say it is unsuppoted [21:47] some? [21:47] i mean, it either works or it dont [21:47] if its working, its working [21:48] i wouldnt sweat it... unless it stops working [21:48] other say too much memory [21:48] And I am a newbie [21:48] do what makes you feel comfortable [21:49] i would see about the memory usage before getting bent out of shape though [21:49] maybe run top, and monitor for a bit [21:50] 63 mega out of 211, without apps, it is lubuntu [21:51] so very fast [21:51] also on an old laptop [21:52] so thanks holstein [21:57] Antonjo: :)
