[00:51] i have installed cpudyn , but how do i use it, (ubuntu 10.04, dell inspiron 8600) === bgs101 is now known as bgs100 === bgs102 is now known as bgs100 [02:05] register avinash === JackyAlcine_ is now known as JackyAlcine [02:25] hey whats the best way to run multiple versions of python on one system [02:25] how can i use cpudyn to control my cpu, dell inspiron 8600 [02:26] avinashr: cpu throttle? [02:26] yes [02:27] i am using ubuntu 10.04 [02:27] hrm why not try cpufreq? [02:28] sure, what are the commands or steps to upscale my cpu [02:29] avinashr: try here: http://mnm.uib.es/gallir/cpudyn/ [02:30] thanks, i will try there === cprofitt_ is now known as cprofitt === cprofitt_ is now known as cprofitt [05:30] 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] 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] 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] This (should) have a lot of info on that. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutoFsck [05:36] 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] I meant to say thing not think, sorry [05:37] I just had a long day. [05:38] Isn't there a default program that I can change instead?, I thought I remember seeing. [05:39] Never mind. I will Google it: [05:39] http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&source=hp&q=ubuntu+change+fsck+interval&pbx=1&oq=ubuntu+change+fs&aq=2v&aqi=g1g-v3&aql=&gs_sm=1&gs_upl=702651l708163l0l710588l16l10l0l6l6l2l262l1974l0.6.4l16l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=19b59b6572733bc8&biw=1024&bih=547 [05:40] sorry for that [05:40] I guess I should have used tiny url, but I have only used that once before. [05:40] I forgot [05:43] How often might you think is too often to use fsck? [05:44] Well, is there a reason to change the default? Do you suspect something may go wrong? [05:45] I just want to make sure everything is fine. Like I said I don't reboot that often. [05:46] I've been messing around with a lot of files [05:46] I found this link: [05:46] http://blogs.pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/tux-love/2009/11/hidden_linux_what_the_fsck.html [05:48] That might not be the right way to do what I am asking for. [05:49] I mean for Ubuntu that is. Not that I would know. [05:49] I stand corrected: [05:50] http://nixcraft.com/ubuntu-debian/11709-forced-file-check-fsck.html [05:50] r4y, I would not worry about it just have backups and an image. [05:53] 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] Thank you for talking to me. [05:53] by :) / [05:53] I meant bye [05:54] r4y, always be prepared for full bricking really. :) [09:24] I need to find an easy way to access a local network share. [09:24] I can browse them in nautilus [09:25] but they dont show up when I browse in an applicatiuon (such as GRsync) [10:37] 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] ianp5a: That means GRsync does not interface with gnome-volume-manager (or whatever it's called). [10:41] But you can still access them by going to the hidden directory named ".gvfs" in your homedir [10:52] geirha: looking in .gvfs in Nautilus shows it's empty [10:53] geirha: and typing that in the grsync file finder does not find anything either [10:57] Ok, so you didn't mount the filesystem via nautilus? [10:58] In Nautilus I click on Network and it shows all devices on the LAN [11:00] When you open a network share, it should mount it, and it should become available under ~/.gvfs === yofel_ is now known as yofel [11:01] If you want it always mounted, you could add an entry for it in /etc/fstab [11:01] it appears to mount it. The device is shown as a folder with the eject button next to it. [11:02] and ''ls ~/.gvfs'' still does not show anything? [11:03] The fstab method would mount the share as a disk. But that way is too complicated for what I am looking for. [11:04] That's what nautilus does too [11:08] when Nautilus does it, it appeas as a folder [11:08] with fstab it appears in Nautilus as a Disk and the apps can see it [11:15] i'm looking for a solution that is easy for everyone similar to Windows 7 where the apps can see the network. [11:17] The problem is that different desktop environments handle this differently. [11:17] Hopefully they'll standardize soon [11:32] If there was an easy way to generate the entry in fstab, I think that would solve it for all the applications. === arno is now known as Guest2929 === tsimpson_ is now known as tsimpson [18:09] 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 [18:11] hahaa [18:11] that's easy [18:11] you have your name on the top right corner [18:11] right? [18:15] hey [18:15] my shell stopped responding [18:15] who was the gnome shell guy?-) [18:16] "tiwaritusahr33" [18:16] did he get help? [18:16] From you, but hasn't written more. [18:16] then he better be answering ;) [18:18] hahaha [19:53] hi, can somebody help me with getting my webcam working properly? [19:54] I have it working with camorama but not cheese
