[05:30] <r4y> I know Ubuntu does fsck on it's own every so often, I can't remember but I think it's around 20 or 30 reboots. I am wondering if it is a good idea to change that number to say 10 reboot or less. What do you guys think?
[05:32] <r4y> I just did sudo touch /forcefsck and rebooted because I have had my computer on for many days now and I don't reboot that often.
[05:33] <r4y> I am not having any trouble but after the troubles I had had over the course of 3 years with hard drives I just want to be careful
[05:33] <Unit193> This (should) have a lot of info on that. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutoFsck
[05:36] <r4y> I really don't really think it takes that long for fsck to do it's think on my hard drive. I don't know why people complain about it other than hard drives that are maybe terabyte sized or perhaps 500 GBs or more.
[05:37] <r4y> I meant to say thing not think, sorry
[05:37] <r4y> I just had a long day.
[05:38] <r4y> Isn't there a default program that I can change instead?, I thought I remember seeing.
[05:39] <r4y> Never mind. I will Google it:

[05:40] <r4y> sorry for that
[05:40] <r4y>  I guess I should have used tiny url, but I have only used that once before.
[05:40] <r4y> I forgot
[05:43] <r4y> How often might you think is too often to use fsck?
[05:44] <Unit193> Well, is there a reason to change the default? Do you suspect something may go wrong?
[05:45] <r4y> I just want to make sure everything is fine. Like I said I don't reboot that often.
[05:46] <r4y> I've been messing around with a lot of files
[05:46] <r4y> I found this link:
[05:46] <r4y> http://blogs.pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/tux-love/2009/11/hidden_linux_what_the_fsck.html
[05:48] <r4y> That might not be the right way to do what I am asking for.
[05:49] <r4y> I mean for Ubuntu that is. Not that I would know.
[05:49] <r4y> I stand corrected:
[05:50] <r4y> http://nixcraft.com/ubuntu-debian/11709-forced-file-check-fsck.html
[05:50] <urlin2u> r4y,  I would not worry about it just have backups and an image.
[05:53] <r4y> I need to syncronize my back up, as I haven't done so in quite some time. No I do not want a program to do it for me. I like to go through files which forces me to rethink how I want and where I want folders and files to be placed as well as go through files to minimize what I have stored and so on.
[05:53] <r4y> Thank you for talking to me.
[05:53] <r4y> by :) /
[05:53] <r4y> I meant bye
[05:54] <urlin2u> r4y, always be prepared for full bricking really. :)
[09:24] <ianp5a> I need to find an easy way to access a local network share.
[09:24] <ianp5a> I can browse them in nautilus
[09:25] <ianp5a> but they dont show up when I browse in an applicatiuon (such as GRsync)
[10:37] <ianp5a> I need to find an easy way to access a local network share. I can browse them in nautilus but they don't show up when I browse in an application (such as GRsync)
[10:41] <geirha> ianp5a: That means GRsync does not interface with gnome-volume-manager (or whatever it's called).
[10:41] <geirha> But you can still access them by going to the hidden directory named ".gvfs" in your homedir
[10:52] <ianp5a> geirha: looking in .gvfs in Nautilus shows it's empty
[10:53] <ianp5a> geirha: and typing that in the grsync file finder does not find anything either
[10:57] <geirha> Ok, so you didn't mount the filesystem via nautilus?
[10:58] <ianp5a> In Nautilus I click on Network and it shows all devices on the LAN
[11:00] <geirha> When you open a network share, it should mount it, and it should become available under ~/.gvfs
[11:01] <geirha> If you want it always mounted, you could add an entry for it in /etc/fstab
[11:01] <ianp5a> it appears to mount it. The device is shown as a folder with the eject button next to it.
[11:02] <geirha> and ''ls ~/.gvfs'' still does not show anything?
[11:03] <ianp5a> The fstab method would mount the share as a disk. But that way is too complicated for what I am looking for.
[11:04] <geirha> That's what nautilus does too
[11:08] <ianp5a> when Nautilus does it, it appeas as a folder
[11:08] <ianp5a> with fstab it appears in Nautilus as a Disk and the apps can see it
[11:15] <ianp5a> i'm looking for a solution that is easy for everyone similar to Windows 7 where the apps can see the network.
[11:17] <geirha> The problem is that different desktop environments handle this differently.
[11:17] <geirha> Hopefully they'll standardize soon
[11:32] <ianp5a> If there was an easy way to generate the entry in fstab, I think that would solve it for all the applications.
[18:09] <tiwaritusahr33> can anyone help me i have installed gnome shell on in ubuntu 11.04 and won't be able 2 locate shutdown button i tried different methods mentioned on the internet
