I have copied the error message and am ready to paste it to that one website for troubleshooting. === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as M0hi [04:01] hello all [04:03] Hiya === Guest12539 is now known as Jacky [05:23] 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 [05:24] Make the launcher require a password, or make the program require one to run? [05:25] yes [05:25] I think I've tried making it work like this before but I remember it not working out, I can't remember though [05:26] 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] not sure mean [05:26] I will try one I know I don't use first just in case [05:29] I think it depends on the item [05:30] I tried the search for files item under applications for instance and it doesn't work [05:30] but it worked for empathy [05:30] Most things really shouldn't need to be run as root. [05:32] 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 [05:34] 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] I have never used the root terminal from under system tools [05:34] Isn't that the same?, or what? [05:44] 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 [05:46] keyboard shortcuts is another thing. I understand the terminal can be open with control-alt-t or from alt-f2 [05:46] I meant are another thing [05:47] anyways, TY for the help. I found this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=96823dd8f3c167ed2c38f3ee6475ba3c&t=1728864&page=2 [05:48] Have a good day. [05:55] Running things as root to protect the system, that's not exactly the bset idea... === xx is now known as Guest21438 [07:07] hi, learning how to use irc, started using ubuntu about 6 months ago [07:08] how about you? [07:09] does anyone know how to tweak ubuntu safely? [07:11] JavaKing: what do you mean tweak? [07:11] and what is not safe? [07:13] tweaking meaning changing background settings for speed that will not cause irreparable crash of os [07:14] stlsaint, do you know if there is an ubuntu manual that shows how to make changes to the settings [07:15] !docs | This? [07:15] 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 [07:16] thanks [07:18] going to read, bye [07:18] Adios. [07:24] Hi JavaKing. I am quite old to irc. And explain why you want to do [07:25] Err sowwie. Bad client [07:25] how old are putdumpdump [07:30] wilee-nilee: what? [07:31] ubuntu member names ocean? [07:31] stlsaint, it was a joke I interact with that user on #ubuntuforums, I will not do it again here. [07:43] wilee-nilee: oh ok, thanks [07:44] no problem I had to do a reboot. ,) stlsaint [09:46] 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 [09:49] 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 [10:36] 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] I mean an inch and a half === lins is now known as linse === margo_ is now known as margo === philinux is now known as eye-gor [16:16] 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?! [16:18] 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] not_found, Just a "WAG", on my part.. [16:20] 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 :) [16:21] 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] :) [16:23] not_found: Just did a search for "indicator" in the software center. One of the hits, Psensors, sounds like what you want. [16:23] sorry, Psensor [16:24] hmmm... saw it... let me have another look at it... thanks geirha [16:25] 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... [16:26] basically like hardware sensor from this link http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/what-application-indicators-are-available [16:26] but I am not sure this is the best of the bunch... etc... [16:37] 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. [16:38] 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] thanks [16:39] sysmonitor indicator looks nice; apparently scriptable [16:48] 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] thanks [16:50] oh wait... sysmonitor indicator can do both....!!! [16:52] ttp://askubuntu.com/questions/26114/is-it-possible-to-change-the-order-of-icons-in-the-indicator-applet [16:52] hum, where did the h go? [16:54] geirha, thanks [16:54] will have look in a bit :) [16:55] ... 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 :/ [16:56] geirha, ^^ [16:59] what? I haven't used google at all today [16:59] are you sure your graphics card has thermometers? [17:05] geirha, ... very sure :) ... AMD Radeon HD 6850... [17:06] ls /proc/acpi [17:08] geirha, ac_adapter battery event wakeup [17:09] I'm looking at http://askubuntu.com/questions/65570/radeon-hd-6950-temperature-is-way-too-hot [17:09] Thinking the temperature might be found somewhere under /proc or /sys (given the top answer) [17:10] If so, you can script it for the sysmonitor indicator [17:10] geirha, sounds interesting... [17:10] will have to have a look at that then :D [17:11] or, try running sensors in a terminal [17:13] thanks... will be back [17:13] I am sure with more questions === sanbar2 is now known as sanbar === wilee-nilee is now known as trollpro === trollpro is now known as protroll === wilee-nilee is now known as Fyodorovna
