| r4y | I am wondering how to make programs and so forth under alacarte (aka the main menu) require the sudo or gksudo password so I can keep things on the main menu for me, such as disk utility, keyboard shortcuts, keyboard, mouse and so on | 05:23 |
| Unit193 | Make the launcher require a password, or make the program require one to run? | 05:24 |
| r4y | yes | 05:25 |
| r4y | I think I've tried making it work like this before but I remember it not working out, I can't remember though | 05:25 |
| Unit193 | That was an either/or, not yes/no. Add gksudo to the exec line in the launcher for that method, or you'd have to change the sudoers file for the other, iirc. | 05:26 |
| r4y | not sure mean | 05:26 |
| r4y | I will try one I know I don't use first just in case | 05:26 |
| r4y | I think it depends on the item | 05:29 |
| r4y | I tried the search for files item under applications for instance and it doesn't work | 05:30 |
| r4y | but it worked for empathy | 05:30 |
| Unit193 | Most things really shouldn't need to be run as root. | 05:30 |
| r4y | It's cool, now I can at least test this out on items I want and if they don't work I can mark those off of the main menu, then when I want alacarte I can use the terminal to get the main menu | 05:32 |
| r4y | Should I use the root terminal for the terminal to lock kids out of the terminal or make the terminal sudo under alacarte? | 05:34 |
| r4y | I have never used the root terminal from under system tools | 05:34 |
| r4y | Isn't that the same?, or what? | 05:34 |
| r4y | I guess there is no safe way of keeping kids from messing up Ubuntu other then lock but I can at least try which would reduce how easy it would be for kids to mess up Ubuntu | 05:44 |
| r4y | keyboard shortcuts is another thing. I understand the terminal can be open with control-alt-t or from alt-f2 | 05:46 |
| r4y | I meant are another thing | 05:46 |
| r4y | anyways, TY for the help. I found this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=96823dd8f3c167ed2c38f3ee6475ba3c&t=1728864&page=2 | 05:47 |
| r4y | Have a good day. | 05:48 |
| Unit193 | Running things as root to protect the system, that's not exactly the bset idea... | 05:55 |

| JavaKing | hi, learning how to use irc, started using ubuntu about 6 months ago | 07:07 |
| JavaKing | how about you? | 07:08 |
| JavaKing | does anyone know how to tweak ubuntu safely? | 07:09 |
| stlsaint | JavaKing: what do you mean tweak? | 07:11 |
| stlsaint | and what is not safe? | 07:11 |
| JavaKing | tweaking meaning changing background settings for speed that will not cause irreparable crash of os | 07:13 |
| JavaKing | stlsaint, do you know if there is an ubuntu manual that shows how to make changes to the settings | 07:14 |
| Unit193 | !docs | This? | 07:15 |
| ubot2 | This?: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | 07:15 |
| JavaKing | thanks | 07:16 |
| JavaKing | going to read, bye | 07:18 |
| Unit193 | Adios. | 07:18 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Hi JavaKing. I am quite old to irc. And explain why you want to do | 07:24 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Err sowwie. Bad client | 07:25 |
| wilee-nilee | how old are putdumpdump | 07:25 |
| stlsaint | wilee-nilee: what? | 07:30 |
| stlsaint | ubuntu member names ocean? | 07:31 |
| wilee-nilee | stlsaint, it was a joke I interact with that user on #ubuntuforums, I will not do it again here. | 07:31 |
| stlsaint | wilee-nilee: oh ok, thanks | 07:43 |
| wilee-nilee | no problem I had to do a reboot. ,) stlsaint | 07:44 |
| r4y | my screen is stuck to the right but tv-out which is "twin view/clones" is perfect. What is wrong?, It's not the monitor because I was just on another hard drive that the same version of Ubuntu on it. Ubuntu 10 | 09:46 |
| r4y | Maybe I can revert back to the xorg.conf.backup file. How?, I am using nvidia-settings which I use the command gksudo nvidia-settings to change | 09:49 |
| r4y | I am running Ubuntu 10 and the screen is only normal when in graphical failsafe mode. When I boot up normally the screen is off to the right a 1 and half | 10:36 |
| r4y | I mean an inch and a half | 10:36 |

| not_found | hi, anyone know the best way to show system temps on the top bar in Ubuntu 12.04... I already have lmsensors installed and setup but would like to see CPU temps etc. up top continuously?! | 16:16 |
| Sidewinder | not_found, I've no idea, sorry. Perhaps a "Conky" type of script or a "Screenlet" type of thingy will do what you're lookin' for? | 16:18 |
| Sidewinder | not_found, Just a "WAG", on my part.. | 16:18 |
| not_found | Sidewinder, nah, I want it in the top bar next to the other icons... there are a few... don't want to wade through several unknown repo's and install a bunch of nonsense ... but no worries I wait :) | 16:20 |
| Sidewinder | not_found, Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance, but I know what you mean about not installing a bunch of unnecessary nonsense. :) | 16:21 |
| not_found | :) | 16:21 |
| geirha | not_found: Just did a search for "indicator" in the software center. One of the hits, Psensors, sounds like what you want. | 16:23 |
| geirha | sorry, Psensor | 16:23 |
| not_found | hmmm... saw it... let me have another look at it... thanks geirha | 16:24 |
| not_found | not sure geirha ... all I need is a little icon at the top next to my little envelope that shows "CPU 40degC" or something to that extent... | 16:25 |
| not_found | basically like hardware sensor from this link http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/what-application-indicators-are-available | 16:26 |
| not_found | but I am not sure this is the best of the bunch... etc... | 16:26 |
| geirha | not_found: Hm. Yeah I just tried it. The best you get is a temperature icon, which will show the temp when you click on it. | 16:37 |
| not_found | geirha, k... trying hardware sensors as soon as I get the repo sorted out... have to use the one for oneiric as there isn't one for precise at the moment :) | 16:38 |
| not_found | thanks | 16:38 |
| geirha | sysmonitor indicator looks nice; apparently scriptable | 16:39 |
| not_found | geirha, cool ... using sysmonitor and also hardware sensors... will have to figure out if they can be moved cause they are all over the place but at least I have the info I want.... | 16:48 |
| not_found | thanks | 16:48 |
| not_found | oh wait... sysmonitor indicator can do both....!!! | 16:50 |
| geirha | ttp://askubuntu.com/questions/26114/is-it-possible-to-change-the-order-of-icons-in-the-indicator-applet | 16:52 |
| geirha | hum, where did the h go? | 16:52 |
| not_found | geirha, thanks | 16:54 |
| not_found | will have look in a bit :) | 16:54 |
| not_found | ... seeing as you are a boss with the google-fu I am also trying to see my radeon graphics cards temps in a similar fashion and so far no luck :/ | 16:55 |
| not_found | geirha, ^^ | 16:56 |
| geirha | what? I haven't used google at all today | 16:59 |
| geirha | are you sure your graphics card has thermometers? | 16:59 |
| not_found | geirha, ... very sure :) ... AMD Radeon HD 6850... | 17:05 |
| geirha | ls /proc/acpi | 17:06 |
| not_found | geirha, ac_adapter battery event wakeup | 17:08 |
| geirha | I'm looking at http://askubuntu.com/questions/65570/radeon-hd-6950-temperature-is-way-too-hot | 17:09 |
| geirha | Thinking the temperature might be found somewhere under /proc or /sys (given the top answer) | 17:09 |
| geirha | If so, you can script it for the sysmonitor indicator | 17:10 |
| not_found | geirha, sounds interesting... | 17:10 |
| not_found | will have to have a look at that then :D | 17:10 |
| geirha | or, try running sensors in a terminal | 17:11 |
| not_found | thanks... will be back | 17:13 |
| not_found | I am sure with more questions | 17:13 |
