ashickur-noorHow I can integrate fridge in my desktop?06:21
vibhavDo you mean the Ubuntu Fridge?06:28
ashickur-noorI am not sure06:29
ashickur-noorhttp://fridge.ubuntu.com/06:29
ashickur-noorI want to get the update of this site in my Ubuntu Desktop06:29
Unit193Well, the calendar section is an ical or xml, and news is rss, so you could either get/usr desktop applications for that, or terminal ones and use conky.06:29
ashickur-noorHow?06:30
ashickur-noorI am not used of it06:30
ashickur-noorthough I use Ubuntu for 2 years06:30

ashickur-noorWhat is the best client?06:31
vibhavUnit193: Is there any good RSS client?06:32
Unit193!best06:32
ubot2`Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.06:32
vibhav:(06:32

ashickur-noorI just close window06:33
vibhavashickur-noor: As I said there are many RSS clients for Ubuntu06:34

head_victimashickur-noor: actually, you can probably put the fridge into a google or other email account with calendar functions.10:31
ashickur-noorhum I know that10:32
ashickur-noorBut I need it on desktop10:32
head_victimYou can set that up to show in the default Ubuntu calendar10:33
head_victimWhich is linked in the window bar where the time/date shows10:33
ashickur-noorHow?10:33
head_victimDepends on what verion of Ubuntu you use10:37
ashickur-noor11.1010:37
head_victimBasically just import the ical into thunderbird or evolution10:37
ashickur-noorical? I am not familiar with it10:38
ashickur-noor:(10:38
head_victimI'm not sure if thunderbird or evolution is the current standard for Ubuntu. I only use webmail so I haven't kept up10:39
head_victimEither way, all you need to do is import the ical file into one of those programs, whichever is the default and it will pop up notifications and show in your calendar.10:39
ashickur-noorical will not update ?? I am right?10:43
Snicksieif its a downloadable file, it wont update ashickur-noor ;)10:46
Snicksieif its just an url you need to put in your client (which can update), then, it will update ;)10:47
ashickur-noorI am searching for goole10:47
ashickur-noorBut can not find it10:47
ashickur-noorhow to get ical file for google?10:47
ashickur-noor:(10:47
Snicksiefor google calendar?10:47
ashickur-nooryao10:48
ashickur-noor*p10:48
Snicksiegoogle can import ical files10:48
Snicksiebut if you have google calendar, you can also use the urls provided at the ubuntu fridge (as I thing you'll want that one?)10:48
ashickur-noorNot sure10:49
ashickur-noorI have sync the fridge calendar in  my goole10:49
ashickur-noorbut not I need the google calendar in my desktop10:50
Snicksiesettings -> agenda's -> click on the agenda you want on your desktop10:51

Snicksiein your client you need to find a 'subscribe' link or so... so that it can automatically update10:52

philipballewedlik, good question21:19
philipballewlets look21:19
philipballewwhat are you getting the error from? nautilus?21:20
edlikYep, I need to move some files from my fat32 partition into my new ext4 and it wont let me21:22
geirhaIt'll be owned by root after you create it21:23
geirhasudo chown $USER: /media/mountpoint21:23
geirhawill turn ownership over to you ($USER will expand to your username)21:23
philipballewgeirha, you answered when I was writing that :)21:23
philipballewedlik, do you know your mount point?21:24
geirhaphilipballew: sorry :(21:24
philipballewno prob :)21:24
philipballewedlik, open a terminal21:24
edlikterminal open21:25
philipballewcd /media21:25
edlikok21:26
philipballewnext well use the ls comand21:26
philipballewso you typee ls, but tack on a ls -a to show all hiden files just for the heck of it21:26
philipballewso ls -a21:27
philipballewport the output here if you want21:27
philipballew*post21:27
edlikok21:27
edlik.  ..  external  f9ef4fc9-da3d-401b-9123-8e964d2cf432  My Book21:28
philipballewso one of those is your newly formated drive. do you remember what you named it?21:28
edlikI dont think I did name it. I used gparted I wonder if it would show up there if i restarted it.21:29
philipballewedlik, its probably the f9... but you can always cd into it and look around via ls21:30
philipballewotherwise you can do what geirha said above with21:30
philipballewsudo chown $USER: /media/mountpoint21:30
philipballewmonutpoint = the name of your drive21:31
philipballewso sudo chown $USER: /media/f9ef4fc9-da3d-401b-9123-8e964d2cf43221:31
edlikdone21:32
philipballewso feel free to try it21:32
edlikstill nothing, and yes the f9 is the one, it shows up at the top of the file. Do you think I have to reboot?21:33
philipballewno.21:34
philipballewhow are you copying?21:34
edlikscratch that. I just needed to be in a different place in the terminal.21:35
edlikIt works! you guys are awesome21:35
philipballewnice!!!21:35
philipballewyou like ubuntu overall?21:35
edlikI love it, Ive used it for a few years now but still feel kind of like a noob.21:36
philipballewwell if you want to feel better I can help with that. I'd recomend sitting in irc channels more also, are you part of your loco, or do y21:37
philipballewou do any linux user groups21:37
philipballewthere good places to learn21:37
edlikI really like the helpful community, everytime I break something someone always has the answer:-[21:39
philipballeware you part of your loco?21:39
edlikno, where would I find it? on irc?21:40
philipballewwhere do you live?21:40
edlikMinnesota21:40
philipballewill see what I find! hold on 10 secs21:41
philipballewthere is #ubuntu-us-mn its not very active. I also recomend #ubuntu-beginners-team21:42
philipballewhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MinnesotaTeam21:43
edlikI will hop on to both of them21:43
geirhaIf you want to learn shell scripting though, please avoid the Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide21:44
geirhaand all other shell guides on tldp.org.  We get so many questions in #bash because of the bugs those guides teach21:45
edlikwhere would be the optimal place to learn shell scripting?21:47
philipballewgeirha, ^21:49
geirhahttp://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide21:50
geirhaAlso, the other resources listed in /topic #bash21:50
geirhaI have yet to see another shell scripting guide that also teaches "good practice".21:51
WilsonBradleyCould someone help me with System problem crash?22:13
WilsonBradleyThe crashed program seems to use third-party or local libraries:  /opt/java/32/jre1.6.0_31/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so It is highly recommended to check if the problem persists without those first. Do you want to continue the report process anyway?22:13
janusz2Hi all, I am searching how to make a sandbox under ubuntu? Any ideas?23:14
janusz2I mean what I want is to disallow a given process from writes/reads23:14
JoseeAntonioRjanusz2: Have you tried with a VM?23:15
janusz2I think it an over shoot23:15
janusz2I was thinking more in lines of chroot or Apparmor23:16
janusz2but maybe VM is a better way23:16
JoseeAntonioRjanusz2: Or maybe, if the program doesn't make any changes on the system itself, you can create another username for that23:16
janusz2I thought about that too23:17
janusz2but then I have to create a new user for each process23:17
janusz2I mean, if I have a lot of possibly malicious processess23:18
JoseeAntonioRjanusz2: Hmm, you're right. I think the best option is creating a VM, so you don't affect your current install in any way.23:18
janusz2JoseeAntonioR: Thx for help :) I'll probably go the VM way then23:19
JoseeAntonioRjanusz2: No prob. By the way, a good VM is Oracle VM Virtualbox :) If you need further assistance, just come back :)23:20
janusz2Now when I am thinking about it, even if I run a virtualbox, then a malicious program can kill it (probably), but cannot access my system (which is most important). When the program kills my virtualbox, nothing runs.23:29
janusz2There should be a way like tabs in Chrome, where each one runs in its own sandbox, and a fail of one doesn't mean fail of all.23:30
JoseeAntonioRjanusz2: Hmm, I don't know of any other ways, maybe you can run those programs on a Terminal, and if one is going to kill your VM, you just cancel it.23:31
