crazymutexis there some kind of setuid daemon somewhere?10:10
_Pete_https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB10:10
crazymutexI'll take a look10:10
crazymutexit also works for cd/dvd/... media I think, not just USB drives10:11
crazymutexthey say to use gconf-editor to configure automouting10:14
_Pete_maybe then what you look is hal ?10:14
crazymutexthough, isn't that for gnome?10:14
_Pete_apt-cache show hal|less10:14
crazymutex hald-addon-storage ?10:15
_Pete_Description-en: Hardware Abstraction Layer10:15

ubuntu__hi, I'm installing 11.10 xubuntu as a second OS (other is win7). How to I choose  "device for boot loader installation"?13:54
holsteinubuntu_: if you have only one hard drive, you choose it15:28
holsteinthe windows bootloader will only boot windows, so if you want to dual boot, you can install the one most linux distros use by default which is grub, and grub will boot most os's... ubuntu, windows...15:29
TheSheepholstein: that's not strictly true15:29
holsteinyeah?15:30
TheSheepholstein: windows bootloader does have some very limited support for other operating systems15:30
holsteinwell, the windows loader will add ubuntu in a wubi install15:30
TheSheepholstein: but I wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole15:30
holsteinit will support other windows OS's15:30
ubuntu_it goes without saying! ;)15:30
holsteini have not experienced it picking up any linux OS i have thrown at it15:31
TheSheepholstein: it doesn't pick it up automagically, you have to configure it manually15:31
holsteinbut, i have not had grub fail to automatically add any linux OS15:31
TheSheepholstein: in a text file15:31
holsteinTheSheep: would you like to share that file with ubuntu_ ?15:31
holsteini see no real down sides to using GRUB... if you know how to restore the MBR from a windows disc, and get back to where you are now15:32
holsteini suppose i should not say 'the windows bootloader will only..'15:33
holsteini should say "it will only automatically pickup windows"15:33
TheSheepI don't know the details, I suppose you can find them in windows documentation15:35
holsteinhttp://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/908148-adding-ubuntu-1004-to-windows-7-bootloader/15:38
holstein^ is stating what i was understanding... that it was an ext* issue, and the windows bootloader *cant* do it15:38
holsteinim sure there is a way, though i think the ideal way is to just migrate to GRUB15:39
holsteinthis looks interesting http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/15:40

FiReSTaRTJust wanted to leave the solution to my "windows not snapping to the top of the bottom panels" problem: In workspace properties, I set the lower margin to the total thickness of the 2 panels16:44
craigbass1976I'm having trouble with libreoffice and xubuntu 10.04.  I'm not sure how to describe it, other than things go wonky when I resize windows.  They get a jittery look to them (the edges) and the difference (the new part of the window now that it's bigger) doesnt' show anything in it.  Inside of where the previous boundaries were is unchanged.19:05
charlie-tcatry doing a minimize and maximize again19:08
craigbass1976charlie-tca, no go.  Do you get what I mean though?19:09
charlie-tcayes, and sometimes minimize and maximize the window makes it work19:10
charlie-tcaI thought Xubuntu 10.04 used OpenOffice, though19:11
craigbass1976charlie-tca, it does, by default.19:11
charlie-tcaIf you added LibreOffice to it, you might have problems that can not be fixed, then.19:12
craigbass1976I think it's probably xubuntu specific.  Regular ubuntu lucid boxes I use to have any trouble19:12
craigbass1976don't have, not to have..19:12
charlie-tcaI suspect it is LibreOffice specific, myself19:12

Crash-ODSoftware center not showing it19:58
GridCubesudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gedit19:59
Crash-ODthanks so much19:59
PaimunI'm having an issue with the installation of nfs-common right now20:00
Paimunit installs fine but then it tries to set up rpcbind and falls flat on its face, like so http://paste.ubuntu.com/763064/20:00
Paimuni'm on an 11.10 live usb if that makes a difference20:01
Crash-ODI opened in gedit the sources.list via file open. but will not let me save the list20:07
GridCubeits it yours?20:07
GridCubei mean y20:07
GridCubedo you have ownership?20:07
Crash-ODI'm the only user on this box20:08
GridCubeactually20:08
GridCubenope, you are you and root20:08
Crash-ODwell true20:08
GridCubeif the file is owned by root you need to gksu gedit20:09
Crash-ODthank you20:10
GridCube:)20:11
Crash-ODseems when I go in the software center and trying add 2 sources.list it does not seem to get it right in cause issues some finding out that I have to manually edit the sources.list20:12
GridCubesoftware-center su... its not good, use synaptic20:13
Paimunor just aptitude20:13
Paimunthat's the easiest thing to do20:13
GridCubeor apt-get :P20:14
PaimunI've started using aptitude now because it's nice enough to clean up packages I don't need anymore for me20:15
GridCubenow really i havent been able to use the sc since like i've installed oneiric, it just doesnt work20:15
GridCubeand in every test i do to try to replicate its behaviour in other machines just fails and the sc just opens XD20:15
Paimunthe software center works for me but it's amazingly slow20:16
Paimunsometimes I do some window shopping in it but I never really use it for serious installing20:16
SpiKe_Spiegelsame situation for me, I rarely use the SC20:17
SpiKe_SpiegelI prefer Synaptic or apt-get command lines20:17
Crash-ODI'm trying to use virtualbox to have windows f l p it asks for me to hit control alt delete an end up kicking me out of linux20:17

holsteinjonathan_: you want single-click? or you want touchpad taps turned off?22:37
jonathan_I'd like to stop tapping it activating links, it's really annoying22:37

Crash_O-DMy synaptics touchpad does clicking and i need to disable that. how can i? I tried settings mouse. But shows it as a standerd ps/2 mouse22:59
holsteinCrash_O-D: see if http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=5939 workds23:00
holsteinworks*23:00
Crash_O-DThanks23:01
atrunocan you setup xfce in xubuntu so when you copy over a samba network it merges with the directories and does not overwrite the same files ?23:06
holsteinyou could have ssh running and use something that would do that... rsync?23:07
holsteinsomething that just writes the differences23:07
