| philipballew | can I make mailto links open in gmail? | 06:55 |
|---|---|---|
| bioterror | you're the one with ubuntu host ;) | 06:55 |
| bioterror | ps. your question does not make a point | 06:56 |
| bioterror | if I click mailto:fooo@fooo.com it will tell xdg to use mail client | 06:57 |
| bioterror | and if you've configured your mail client to use gmail user preferences, why not | 06:57 |
| bioterror | but your browser does not automatically go to gmail.com, log in and do all the magic for you | 06:57 |
| bioterror | my evolution has gmail configured and when I click mailto: -link on webpage, it will use gmail | 06:58 |
| philipballew | bioterror, what do you mean i have a ubuntu host? | 07:18 |
| philipballew | :) | 07:18 |
| philipballew | yeah. i know i'd have to configure it. I just dont wanna have evloution. I uninstalled it\ | 07:19 |
| Snicksie | philipballew, he means your mask :) | 07:20 |
| Snicksie | * [philipballew] (~philipbal@ubuntu/member/philipballew): philip ballew | 07:20 |
| philipballew | ah, yes! that | 07:20 |
| philipballew | they gave that to me!!! | 07:20 |
| Snicksie | nice :p | 07:20 |
| Snicksie | i don't have one :p | 07:20 |
| M0hi | OT = #ubuntu-neginners-team ;) | 07:21 |
| philipballew | you should become a ubuntu member | 07:21 |
| M0hi | err beginners* | 07:21 |
| philipballew | M0hi, OT? | 07:22 |

| s-fox | Hello. | 09:21 |
| robb_ | hello | 09:52 |
| obarthelemy | Hi. I'm having problems with access rights when mounting an external USB drive. Only root seems to be able to work on it. I've been fumbling for hours in /etc/fstab, I can't seem to get it right. | 10:18 |
| obarthelemy | there's 2 partitions on the drive: an ntfs one, and an ext4 | 10:18 |
| geirha | Which one are you having trouble with? | 10:20 |
| obarthelemy | the ext4 one for sure, let me test the ntfs on too | 10:21 |
| geirha | Is the ext4 newly created? | 10:22 |
| obarthelemy | it's got some stuff in it already | 10:22 |
| obarthelemy | the NTFS on is fine | 10:23 |
| geirha | Are you using it on multiple computers? | 10:23 |
| obarthelemy | yes, i'll share it via samba | 10:24 |
| geirha | Ok, but you always connect it (via USB) to the one computer? | 10:24 |
| obarthelemy | chown tells me it's owned by root, group root, and RWX, R-X, R-X | 10:24 |
| obarthelemy | yes | 10:24 |
| obarthelemy | yes it will be connected mostly to that one | 10:25 |
| geirha | sudo chown -R "$USER:" /path/to/mount/point # will make you the owner of the filesystem and all the files it contains. | 10:25 |
| obarthelemy | hey ! it worked ! | 10:27 |
| obarthelemy | thank you so much, I was going crazy | 10:27 |
| obarthelemy | even works writing to it from the network :-) | 10:28 |
| obarthelemy | Have a nice day ! | 10:31 |
| geirha | There's one thing though | 10:32 |
| geirha | The files on that filesystem are now owned by the uid of your user. | 10:32 |
| geirha | When you connect it to another machine, the files will be owned by whichever user has that uid on that system. | 10:33 |
| geirha | So you'll want to make sure your user has the same uid on all systems you intend to connect it to. | 10:34 |
| coalwater | any ideas how to upgrade using my usb without restarting, i forgot the iso at home :D i don't want to use the internet | 11:12 |
| bioterror | what? | 11:12 |
| coalwater | i have an oneric image on my usb, when i tried booting it wanted to do a new installation, or install alongside, but i want to upgrade | 11:13 |
| bioterror | is there a real reason for not to use do-release-upgrade for example? | 11:14 |
| coalwater | well, let's say the internet is kinda limited right now and i don't want to take up all the bw | 11:19 |
| coalwater | sry internet dc'd :s | 11:20 |
| bioterror | mount that iso image and use it as a source then | 11:20 |
| bioterror | deb file:// and so | 11:22 |
| coalwater | the problem is that i don't have an iso, i have a bootable usb | 11:23 |
| bioterror | what's the difference? | 11:23 |
| bioterror | you have .deb's there too, right? | 11:24 |
| coalwater | http://paste.ubuntu.com/710793/ | 11:27 |
| coalwater | this is the ls | 11:27 |
| bioterror | coalwater, http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/ how it differs from that? | 11:28 |
| coalwater | ok so what do i need to do | 11:29 |
| bioterror | !sources.list | 11:31 |
| ubot2 | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 11:31 |
| geirha | coalwater: The desktop iso contains only a few packages, mainly drivers. The alternative iso contains packages though. | 12:21 |
| coalwater | geirha: i think i'll just wait a it and do a normal online update, this is turning to be harder than i care to care about right now :D too much work to do today lol | 12:46 |
| coalwater | thanks anyway :) | 12:46 |

| AlexForce22 | hi guys | 13:57 |
| coalwater | hi again AlexForce22 | 14:00 |
| AlexForce22 | so wat u guys usually do in here | 14:06 |
| coalwater | this is a support channel, for helping people who have questions, offtopic chats are on #ubuntu-beginners-team | 14:07 |
| AlexForce22 | oh thats nice. so in the mean time, jus wanna say that ubuntu is awesome. | 14:25 |
| coalwater | well glad that you like it lol | 14:29 |
| AlexForce22 | another think are you a developer | 14:32 |
| coalwater | AlexForce22: actually i am | 14:44 |
| AlexForce22 | thats nice.. how man years now | 14:46 |
| coalwater | AlexForce22: i don't really remmember, but my first program was like 8 years ago or something in college | 15:15 |
| coalwater | or my first coding experience | 15:15 |
| AlexForce22 | ok... i am lookingg for a place to learn about ubuntu coding standard.. | 15:18 |
| rkessel | hey tried to install update of 11.10 and it hung for 8 hours. Then I did a clean install and it still hung up | 15:26 |
| holstein | rkessel: when you say 'hung-up' what do you mean? | 15:27 |
| holstein | did you try it live? | 15:27 |
| coalwater | AlexForce22: u could check the dev pages on the wikis | 15:27 |
| holstein | its a really nice, and easy troubleshooting step to just try the operating systems like | 15:27 |
| holstein | live** | 15:28 |
| rkessel | message "waiting for processes to end" preceded by 3 dots | 15:29 |
| rkessel | on terminal screen and did nothing more | 15:29 |
| holstein | rkessel: what process? | 15:30 |
| holstein | how does it run live? | 15:30 |
| rkessel | same thing it installs to a point and then it just waits. I'm seriously thinking of a new distro | 15:31 |
| holstein | think what you want | 15:31 |
| holstein | rkessel: how does it run live? | 15:31 |
| holstein | do you get to the desktop? | 15:31 |
| rkessel | yes it never boots | 15:31 |
| holstein | rkessel: well, thats what we should look at | 15:32 |
| holstein | thats how the install will go too | 15:32 |
| holstein | rkessel: im going to guess its something to do with your graphics card | 15:32 |
| holstein | this is probably something that will come up with other distro's too, so solving it here on buntu will help you where ever you end up | 15:32 |
| holstein | rkessel: i would try hitting shift at the first load, and try passing the 'nomodeset' option | 15:33 |
| rkessel | i have nomodeset? | 15:33 |
| holstein | rkessel: you have already done that? | 15:34 |
| holstein | i dont know what you mean by 'i have no modeset?' | 15:34 |
| holstein | you mean, you are surprised that that option exists? or you have already implemented it? | 15:34 |
| rkessel | supprised | 15:35 |
| rkessel | suprised! | 15:35 |
| holstein | you should try some settings like that til you get to the desktop *live* | 15:35 |
| rkessel | i need to understand when installing no such option arrives. I have a dual boot with windows | 15:36 |
| holstein | rkessel: right, when its first booting | 15:36 |
| holstein | it = the live installer disc | 15:36 |
| holstein | you'll see a little icon down at the bottom | 15:36 |
| holstein | thats when you *should* be able to hit the shift key | 15:36 |
| holstein | there, you should be presented with the older looking interface | 15:37 |
| holstein | select language and whatever.. | 15:37 |
| holstein | you'll see options at the bottom (F2, F3, F4 whatever) | 15:37 |
| holstein | i think its under F4, maybe F6 | 15:37 |
| holstein | the 'nomodeset' option, as well as others | 15:37 |
| rkessel | i think i know what you mean now | 15:38 |
| rkessel | thank you | 15:38 |
| holstein | you can try that... you migh also be able to google "ubuntu my graphics card model" and learn something helpful | 15:38 |
| rkessel | i have an NVIDIA card. it works well with windows but not ubuntu | 15:39 |
| holstein | sure | 15:39 |
| holstein | things work well with whatever the vendors support | 15:39 |
| holstein | you should let nvidia know you are having issues with it in linux | 15:40 |
| rkessel | no I will stay with windows | 15:40 |
| holstein | stay where ever you like | 15:40 |
| holstein | im just saying, ubuntu/linux doesnt support *any* hardare | 15:40 |
| holstein | just like windows | 15:40 |
| holstein | support is provided by vendors | 15:40 |
| holstein | or, reverse engineering (for linux) | 15:41 |
| holstein | which is not easy AFAIK | 15:41 |
| holstein | you say 'it works well in windows but not ubuntu' | 15:41 |
| holstein | but that has nothing to do with ubuntu | 15:41 |
| holstein | ubuntu supports what it can | 15:41 |
| holstein | just like windows does | 15:41 |
| rkessel | i'm afraid ubuntu is out | 15:41 |
| holstein | rkessel: im not | 15:41 |
| holstein | do what you like | 15:41 |
| holstein | im just telling you whats going on | 15:42 |
| holstein | so you know | 15:42 |
| holstein | and you dont say 'ubuntu doesnt support my hardware' | 15:42 |
| holstein | when, its nvidia that is not giving you support, or allowing ubuntu to provide you with support | 15:42 |
| holstein | nividia is providing the support you are taking advantage of in windows | 15:42 |
| rkessel | I've been using that's a bunch of crap. I have been using this machine with ubuntu for 5 years and have been having all kinds of problems with 11.0 installation. I think i will go back to an old release | 15:43 |
| holstein | im running 10.04 right now | 15:44 |
| holstein | thats the LTS | 15:44 |
| holstein | LTS = long term support | 15:44 |
| holstein | i plan on running it til 12.04 releases, although i maintain testing installs of the other versions | 15:44 |
| rkessel | i guess that's the best solution because narwhale sucks | 15:45 |
| holstein | rkessel: oneiric is the current release... 11.10 | 15:45 |
| holstein | lots of folks work really hard on all those releases though | 15:46 |
| holstein | to provide them for us | 15:46 |
| holstein | if you are having issues, the best thing to do for you, and others with that hardware, is to file bugs, and follow up | 15:46 |
| rkessel | i can't oneiric to work and that is my problem i was working with narwhale and can't work with oneiric | 15:47 |
| holstein | saying 'it sucks' is a strong opinion you are entitled to, but know that some of those folks that work hard on these releases are probably here | 15:47 |
| rkessel | I have been working with linux since the 80's no problem | 15:47 |
| holstein | OK, then you understand how it works, volunteering ones time for a project like this, and how to properly file bugs | 15:48 |
| rkessel | i'm venting now and find that there is no help for this. I'm sorry | 15:48 |
| rkessel | good bye | 15:49 |
| holstein | rkessel: there is though | 15:49 |
| bobweaver | I have a konsole question I am playing with /usr/share/applications right now and am trying to set up a menu and also icons and commands to start this is where I am having trouble I have a welcome screen in .bashrc and I run konsole --workdir <name of dir> --hold -e "<command>" is there a way to drop the hold after say 2 sec? This would be awesome because It would be a great work around for the welcomescreen in .bashrc | 19:38 |
| bioterror | !wait | 19:39 |
| ubot2 | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 19:39 |
| bioterror | daaamn | 19:39 |
| geirha | bobweaver: What does --hold do? | 19:39 |
| bioterror | bobweaver, man wait | 19:40 |
| bobweaver | stop the screen | 19:40 |
| geirha | bioterror: You mean sleep... | 19:40 |
| bioterror | what sleep? | 19:40 |
| bobweaver | I tred sleep also | 19:40 |
| bobweaver | nothing | 19:41 |
| geirha | wait waits for jobs | 19:41 |
| bobweaver | crashes program because of welcome screen | 19:41 |
| bobweaver | thanks | 19:41 |
| geirha | I don't understand what "stop the screen" means | 19:41 |
| bioterror | honestly | 19:41 |
| bobweaver | geirha: konsole --help-all | 19:42 |
| bioterror | why you want to start a terminal program and have "ascii" welcome screen | 19:42 |
| bobweaver | welcome screen is more about calender and weather | 19:42 |
| bioterror | !conky | 19:42 |
| ubot2 | Factoid 'conky' not found | 19:42 |
| bioterror | :o | 19:42 |
| bioterror | use conky for that ;) | 19:43 |
| bobweaver | also I wrote the bash rc and the weather program | 19:43 |
| bobweaver | so attached | 19:43 |
| bobweaver | :>) | 19:43 |
| bioterror | internet is full of conky guides and things | 19:43 |
| bioterror | that will be shown on top of your wallpaper | 19:43 |
| bioterror | better than terminal | 19:43 |
| bobweaver | I also have conky installed | 19:44 |
| bobweaver | and love it | 19:44 |
| bobweaver | but I also love it in the terminal and there is always a work around in the open source scence or that is what I heard | 19:45 |
| * bobweaver looks at wait | 19:45 | |
| geirha | bobweaver: What should happen after two seconds? the terminal should close or the shell prompt should appear? | 19:47 |
| bobweaver | the command should be exacuded | 19:48 |
| bobweaver | to avoid the welcome screen | 19:48 |
| bobweaver | as it is now it release command but then the welcome screen takes over | 19:48 |
| geirha | bashrc won't be sourced for a non-interactive shell | 19:49 |
| geirha | Anyway, I'm afraid I still don't understand :/ | 19:56 |
| bobweaver | I allmost have it :>) | 20:10 |
| geirha | do tell :) | 20:12 |
| bobweaver | konsole --workdir /opt/enumeration/routing/0trace/ -e '/bin/bash -lc "cd /opt/enumeration/routing/0trace/;sleep -5;./0trace.sh;bash"' | 20:13 |
| bobweaver | that is what I have came up with so far | 20:14 |
| bobweaver | but sleep is not working | 20:14 |
| bobweaver | neither is ./0trace.sh | 20:14 |
| geirha | sleep 5, not -5 | 20:15 |
| Caspase3 | What does loading a wireless module with sudo modprobe [module] nohwcrypt=1 do? | 20:16 |
| bobweaver | girha I tried sitll nothing I even took welcome screen away and still nothing <- but that makes me feel good I am on my way | 20:19 |
| geirha | Caspase3: Don't know. The documentation of that particular module should explain what it will do when nohwcrypt=1 is passed to it. | 20:26 |
| geirha | bobweaver: What do you mean by nothing? | 20:26 |
| bobweaver | it dont help any | 20:27 |
| geirha | bobweaver: replace the ;bash at the end with ;read;bash | 20:27 |
| geirha | read will wait for you to hit enter | 20:27 |
| bobweaver | will do thaks | 20:27 |
| bobweaver | thanks | 20:27 |
| geirha | before it runs the next command | 20:27 |
| bobweaver | omg I am so close | 20:31 |
| bobweaver | read;bash smae thing | 20:32 |
| bobweaver | smae * | 20:32 |
| bobweaver | argh | 20:32 |
| bobweaver | same * | 20:32 |
| * bobweaver has fat fingers :>) | 20:32 | |
