[06:55] can I make mailto links open in gmail? [06:55] you're the one with ubuntu host ;) [06:56] ps. your question does not make a point [06:57] if I click mailto:fooo@fooo.com it will tell xdg to use mail client [06:57] and if you've configured your mail client to use gmail user preferences, why not [06:57] but your browser does not automatically go to gmail.com, log in and do all the magic for you [06:58] my evolution has gmail configured and when I click mailto: -link on webpage, it will use gmail [07:18] bioterror, what do you mean i have a ubuntu host? [07:18] :) [07:19] yeah. i know i'd have to configure it. I just dont wanna have evloution. I uninstalled it\ [07:20] philipballew, he means your mask :) [07:20] * [philipballew] (~philipbal@ubuntu/member/philipballew): philip ballew [07:20] ah, yes! that [07:20] they gave that to me!!! [07:20] nice :p [07:20] i don't have one :p [07:21] OT = #ubuntu-neginners-team ;) [07:21] you should become a ubuntu member [07:21] err beginners* [07:22] M0hi, OT? [07:23] Its late at night :) [07:24] well, actually not everywhere, my bad [09:21] Hello. [09:52] hello [10:18] 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] there's 2 partitions on the drive: an ntfs one, and an ext4 [10:20] Which one are you having trouble with? [10:21] the ext4 one for sure, let me test the ntfs on too [10:22] Is the ext4 newly created? [10:22] it's got some stuff in it already [10:23] the NTFS on is fine [10:23] Are you using it on multiple computers? [10:24] yes, i'll share it via samba [10:24] Ok, but you always connect it (via USB) to the one computer? [10:24] chown tells me it's owned by root, group root, and RWX, R-X, R-X [10:24] yes [10:25] yes it will be connected mostly to that one [10:25] sudo chown -R "$USER:" /path/to/mount/point # will make you the owner of the filesystem and all the files it contains. [10:27] hey ! it worked ! [10:27] thank you so much, I was going crazy [10:28] even works writing to it from the network :-) [10:31] Have a nice day ! [10:32] There's one thing though [10:32] The files on that filesystem are now owned by the uid of your user. [10:33] When you connect it to another machine, the files will be owned by whichever user has that uid on that system. [10:34] So you'll want to make sure your user has the same uid on all systems you intend to connect it to. [11:12] 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] what? [11:13] 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 [11:14] is there a real reason for not to use do-release-upgrade for example? [11:19] well, let's say the internet is kinda limited right now and i don't want to take up all the bw [11:20] sry internet dc'd :s [11:20] mount that iso image and use it as a source then [11:22] deb file:// and so [11:23] the problem is that i don't have an iso, i have a bootable usb [11:23] what's the difference? [11:24] you have .deb's there too, right? [11:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/710793/ [11:27] this is the ls [11:28] coalwater, http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/ how it differs from that? [11:29] ok so what do i need to do [11:31] !sources.list [11:31] 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 [12:21] coalwater: The desktop iso contains only a few packages, mainly drivers. The alternative iso contains packages though. [12:46] 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] thanks anyway :) [12:57] hi beginners [13:00] INFO [13:04] hi AlexForce22 [13:04] hi [13:08] wat version Ubuntu u guys have [13:09] idk, depending on each person, most would probably have 11.10, and 11.04 and 10.04 [13:09] or* not and :D [13:10] wat you guys think about 11.10. [13:10] i personally like it [13:11] i have it at home, but didn't upgrade my work pc yet [13:12] i will not be updating as yet. [13:13] LIST [13:13] so wats the topic guys [13:14] um [13:14] bye === samsul is now known as [samsul] [13:14] ikonia: Are you here === ashams_ is now known as ashams [13:57] hi guys [14:00] hi again AlexForce22 [14:06] so wat u guys usually do in here [14:07] this is a support channel, for helping people who have questions, offtopic chats are on #ubuntu-beginners-team [14:25] oh thats nice. so in the mean time, jus wanna say that ubuntu is awesome. [14:29] well glad that you like it lol [14:32] another think are you a developer [14:44] AlexForce22: actually i am [14:46] thats nice.. how man years now [15:15] AlexForce22: i don't really remmember, but my first program was like 8 years ago or something in college [15:15] or my first coding experience [15:18] ok... i am lookingg for a place to learn about ubuntu coding standard.. [15:26] 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 [15:27] rkessel: when you say 'hung-up' what do you mean? [15:27] did you try it live? [15:27] AlexForce22: u could check the dev pages on the wikis [15:27] its a really nice, and easy troubleshooting step to just try the operating systems like [15:28] live** [15:29] message "waiting for processes to end" preceded by 3 dots [15:29] on terminal screen and did nothing more [15:30] rkessel: what process? [15:30] how does it run live? [15:31] same thing it installs to a point and then it just waits. I'm seriously thinking of a new distro [15:31] think what you want [15:31] rkessel: how does it run live? [15:31] do you get to the desktop? [15:31] yes it never boots [15:32] rkessel: well, thats what we should look at [15:32] thats how the install will go too [15:32] rkessel: im going to guess its something to do with your graphics card [15:32] 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 [15:33] rkessel: i would try hitting shift at the first load, and try passing the 'nomodeset' option [15:33] i have nomodeset? [15:34] rkessel: you have already done that? [15:34] i dont know what you mean by 'i have no modeset?' [15:34] you mean, you are surprised that that option exists? or you have already implemented it? [15:35] supprised [15:35] suprised! [15:35] you should try some settings like that til you get to the desktop *live* [15:36] i need to understand when installing no such option arrives. I have a dual boot with windows [15:36] rkessel: right, when its first booting [15:36] it = the live installer disc [15:36] you'll see a little icon down at the bottom [15:36] thats when you *should* be able to hit the shift key [15:37] there, you should be presented with the older looking interface [15:37] select language and whatever.. [15:37] you'll see options at the bottom (F2, F3, F4 whatever) [15:37] i think its under F4, maybe F6 [15:37] the 'nomodeset' option, as well as others [15:38] i think i know what you mean now [15:38] thank you [15:38] you can try that... you migh also be able to google "ubuntu my graphics card model" and learn something helpful [15:39] i have an NVIDIA card. it works well with windows but not ubuntu [15:39] sure [15:39] things work well with whatever the vendors support [15:40] you should let nvidia know you are having issues with it in linux [15:40] no I will stay with windows [15:40] stay where ever you like [15:40] im just saying, ubuntu/linux doesnt support *any* hardare [15:40] just like windows [15:40] support is provided by vendors [15:41] or, reverse engineering (for linux) [15:41] which is not easy AFAIK [15:41] you say 'it works well in windows but not ubuntu' [15:41] but that has nothing to do with ubuntu [15:41] ubuntu supports what it can [15:41] just like windows does [15:41] i'm afraid ubuntu is out [15:41] rkessel: im not [15:41] do what you like [15:42] im just telling you whats going on [15:42] so you know [15:42] and you dont say 'ubuntu doesnt support my hardware' [15:42] when, its nvidia that is not giving you support, or allowing ubuntu to provide you with support [15:42] nividia is providing the support you are taking advantage of in windows [15:43] 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 [15:44] im running 10.04 right now [15:44] thats the LTS [15:44] LTS = long term support [15:44] i plan on running it til 12.04 releases, although i maintain testing installs of the other versions [15:45] i guess that's the best solution because narwhale sucks [15:45] rkessel: oneiric is the current release... 11.10 [15:46] lots of folks work really hard on all those releases though [15:46] to provide them for us [15:46] if you are having issues, the best thing to do for you, and others with that hardware, is to file bugs, and follow up [15:47] i can't oneiric to work and that is my problem i was working with narwhale and can't work with oneiric [15:47] 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] I have been working with linux since the 80's no problem [15:48] OK, then you understand how it works, volunteering ones time for a project like this, and how to properly file bugs [15:48] i'm venting now and find that there is no help for this. I'm sorry [15:49] good bye [15:49] rkessel: there is though [19:38] 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 --hold -e "" 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 [19:39] !wait [19:39] 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] daaamn [19:39] bobweaver: What does --hold do? [19:40] bobweaver, man wait [19:40] stop the screen [19:40] bioterror: You mean sleep... [19:40] what sleep? [19:40] I tred sleep also [19:41] nothing [19:41] wait waits for jobs [19:41] crashes program because of welcome screen [19:41] thanks [19:41] I don't understand what "stop the screen" means [19:41] honestly [19:42] geirha: konsole --help-all [19:42] why you want to start a terminal program and have "ascii" welcome screen [19:42] welcome screen is more about calender and weather [19:42] !conky [19:42] Factoid 'conky' not found [19:42] :o [19:43] use conky for that ;) [19:43] also I wrote the bash rc and the weather program [19:43] so attached [19:43] :>) [19:43] internet is full of conky guides and things [19:43] that will be shown on top of your wallpaper [19:43] better than terminal [19:44] I also have conky installed [19:44] and love it [19:45] 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 [19:47] bobweaver: What should happen after two seconds? the terminal should close or the shell prompt should appear? [19:48] the command should be exacuded [19:48] to avoid the welcome screen [19:48] as it is now it release command but then the welcome screen takes over [19:49] bashrc won't be sourced for a non-interactive shell [19:56] Anyway, I'm afraid I still don't understand :/ [20:10] I allmost have it :>) [20:12] do tell :) [20:13] konsole --workdir /opt/enumeration/routing/0trace/ -e '/bin/bash -lc "cd /opt/enumeration/routing/0trace/;sleep -5;./0trace.sh;bash"' [20:14] that is what I have came up with so far [20:14] but sleep is not working [20:14] neither is ./0trace.sh [20:15] sleep 5, not -5 [20:16] What does loading a wireless module with sudo modprobe [module] nohwcrypt=1 do? [20:19] 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 [20:26] 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] bobweaver: What do you mean by nothing? [20:27] it dont help any [20:27] bobweaver: replace the ;bash at the end with ;read;bash [20:27] read will wait for you to hit enter [20:27] will do thaks [20:27] thanks [20:27] before it runs the next command [20:31] omg I am so close [20:32] read;bash smae thing [20:32] smae * [20:32] argh [20:32] same * [20:32] * bobweaver has fat fingers :>) [20:36] \0/ [20:37] thanks you guys are all rockstars in my eyes !
