| ntwrk_keith | got a question | 16:44 |
| ntwrk_keith | I have 2 shares, one which I want users who are in smbpasswd to be able to access it and another share where I only want 1 specific user to be able to access it | 16:44 |
| ntwrk_keith | is there a way to specify this in smb.conf? | 16:45 |
| The_Other_Guy | Keith: You may wish to ask this question in #ubuntu as well. | 16:46 |
| Mindstar | hey guys | 17:05 |
| Mindstar | I have an issue installing the newest version of Ubuntu desktop, where I install from my disk without an issue, but then it boots and gives me a black screen where I can see the mouse | 17:06 |
| Mindstar | there is some mention on the monitor prior to the black screen about display incompatibility, so I assume it is driver related, but how can I install drivers if I cannot get to the desktop> | 17:07 |
| The_Other_Guy | Mindstar: Boot from a live cd and install drivers from there. | 17:08 |
| Mindstar | Ok, getting the right drivers involves what? Just updating everything as it asks, or doing something more complicated | 17:10 |
| escott | !nomodeset | Mindstar you might try this | 17:12 |
| ubot2 | Mindstar you might try this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 17:12 |
| Mindstar | so basically just activate the nomodeset deal? | 17:16 |
| alo21 | hi all | 17:30 |
| alo21 | I would like practice on triaging bugs | 17:30 |
| nhandler | alo21: Cool. Have you read the wiki pages about triaging? | 17:52 |
| alo21 | nhandler: yes | 17:52 |
| nhandler | alo21: Any particular type of bugs you want to triage? | 17:53 |
| alo21 | nhandler: I do not know where start | 17:53 |
| nhandler | alo21: I would either pick a type of bug from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage/ or a package that you are very familiar with | 17:57 |
| alo21 | nhandler: what do you mean with "type of bug"? | 18:03 |
| nhandler | alo21: Look at the table of contents on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage/. Anything that is a sub-category of '1. Bug types' | 18:04 |
| xworld | hello guys !! I got an HD 1890 p movie but when i open the movie in vlc the video is were highly jittery and the audio seemed to be plagued with something that seemed to be white noise (sounds like white noise, but it definitely is not white noise). I was using VLC media player for playback | 18:25 |
| nhandler | alo21: Once you start, feel free to poke me if you need the Importance of a bug changed, the status set to Triaged, or any other restricted action. I can also review changes you make to bugs | 19:05 |
| alo21 | nhandler: ok, thanks | 19:37 |
| Ryoshia | I have a question.. | 20:09 |
| Ryoshia | How would I go about using User Created themes? | 20:09 |
| Ryoshia | Because I have been to Gnome Look, the website, found one that I liked, but when I followed the instructions I was told by Ubuntu that I didn't have the permissions necessary to do what I was trying to do | 20:10 |
| Unit193 | You normally place such themes in ~/.themes and select them using the Appearance manager. | 20:11 |
| Ryoshia | that's a hidden directory right? | 20:13 |
| Ryoshia | because I thought I've read somewhere that if there's a period before the directory's title that it was considered hidden by the operating system.. | 20:13 |
| Unit193 | Correct, and you may have to create it. | 20:14 |
| Ryoshia | now, would that be created in the root, or where would I create that directory, if there is non? | 20:14 |
| Unit193 | ~/ indicates home, so /home/Ryoshia/.themes for example. | 20:15 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: poke | 20:16 |
| Unit193 | I be here. | 20:17 |
| stlsaint | -team please | 20:17 |
| Ryoshia | it didn't show up in the appearance manager | 20:24 |
| Ryoshia | what I did was took the unpacked folder with all the contents of theme and dropped it ~/.themes to no avail | 20:24 |
| Ryoshia | Was intially trying to do this with Gnome-Tweak-Tool, but to no avail as well | 20:25 |
| Unit193 | What's the link to the theme, and can you ls ~/.themes and paste to pastebin.com? | 20:26 |
| stlsaint | +1 on providing the gnome look link | 20:27 |
| stlsaint | though he will also need to set the theme permissions | 20:28 |
| Unit193 | Actually, link to the theme, not the tool. :P | 20:28 |
| Ryoshia | the web browser link? | 20:30 |
| Ryoshia | sorry ubuntu is still VERY VERY new to me, I'm running Ubuntu now so if Windows 8 turns into crap like it's looking now, I can go to Ubuntu and be at hom | 20:33 |
| Unit193 | Ah, the link to the gnome-look theme. | 20:33 |
| Ryoshia | ok.. | 20:34 |
| Ryoshia | http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Lili-Sakura-?content=148970 | 20:34 |
| stlsaint | you need to set permissions on the theme | 20:36 |
| Unit193 | stlsaint: You take it, I've never used gnome-shell. :P | 20:36 |
| Ryoshia | how would I go about setting the permissions? | 20:37 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: your using gnome-shell? | 20:39 |
| stlsaint | lol oops | 20:39 |
| stlsaint | Ryoshia: your using gnome-shell | 20:39 |
| stlsaint | Unit193: heck neither have i!! | 20:39 |
| Ryoshia | yeah I have gnome-shell | 20:39 |
| Unit193 | Well, technically wouldn't it have to be a Unity theme? | 20:39 |
| Unit193 | Ah, nevermind. | 20:39 |
| Ryoshia | currently I am actually running my Ubuntu on a Gnome-Shell I believe I switched it just about thirty minutes ago | 20:40 |
| stlsaint | Ryoshia: what error messages are you getting? | 20:40 |
| Ryoshia | well intially I was told That I do not have the permissions to dropp the theme in the specified folder | 20:41 |
| Ryoshia | \"/usr/share/gnome-shell/\". is what the user says | 20:41 |
| stlsaint | Ryoshia: in terminal enter | 20:43 |
| stlsaint | sudo nautilus | 20:43 |
| stlsaint | enter password | 20:43 |
| stlsaint | then copy over theme | 20:43 |
| stlsaint | set permissions same as all other themes in that folder | 20:43 |
| stlsaint | logout/login test theme | 20:43 |
| Ryoshia | entered sudo nautilus and it brought me to my home window | 20:44 |
| stlsaint | Ryoshia: good now navigate to your home folder where the downloaded/extracted theme is | 20:44 |
| Ryoshia | Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error No such file or directory | 20:44 |
| Ryoshia | Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing. | 20:44 |
| Ryoshia | is what the terminal says | 20:44 |
| stlsaint | start from the "File System" | 20:44 |
| Ryoshia | alright I'm in the file system dir | 20:48 |
| Ryoshia | /home/ryoshia/Downloads is where it was intially downloaded as a temp areay | 20:48 |
| Ryoshia | area* | 20:48 |
| Ryoshia | found the download/extracted them too by the way XD | 20:49 |
| Ryoshia | you still there? | 20:52 |
| stlsaint | yea | 20:53 |
| stlsaint | Ryoshia: copy over the extracted folder to the themes folder | 20:53 |
| Ryoshia | the one within /usr/share directory right? | 20:55 |
| stlsaint | whichever the directions say | 21:01 |
| Ryoshia | thanks for the help :D | 21:03 |
| Ryoshia | actually I didn't even know about the sudo nautilus command either.. | 21:03 |
| Unit193 | Errr.... Better to gksudo since it's a GUI. | 21:06 |
| Unit193 | !gksu | 21:07 |
| ubot2 | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 21:07 |
| alo21 | nhandler: could you help me, please? Just for a second | 21:37 |
| nhandler | alo21: Sure | 21:37 |
| alo21 | holstein: I think a bug should be mark as wishlist | 21:38 |
| alo21 | nhandler: I think a bug should be mark as wishlist | 21:38 |
| alo21 | nhandler: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/1016983 | 21:38 |
| ubot2 | Ubuntu bug 1016983 in brasero "Feature requests with "information editing" with audio projects" [Undecided,New] | 21:38 |
| alo21 | holstein: sorry, i make a mistake | 21:38 |
| nhandler | alo21: Yep, but it isn't really related to the Ubuntu packaging. Instead, it is 2 upstream feature requests. I would probably create 2 bug reports on the upstream bug tracker (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=brasero), link them to the LP bug, and mark the Ubuntu bug as invalid | 21:44 |
| alo21 | holstein: thanks | 21:49 |
| alo21 | nhandler: thanks | 21:53 |
| alo21 | nhandler: how can I link to upstream? | 21:54 |
| alo21 | nhandler: done | 21:55 |
| xworld | hai guys , When i ping to google I got this [[[ 64 bytes from maa03s05-in-f17.1e100.net (74.125.236.81): icmp_req=1 ttl=56 time=2655 ms ]]] WHAT is it means !! ?? | 21:55 |
| nhandler | alo21: I'm only seeing one of the bugs reported upstream. Also, I tend to credit the original requestor when forwarding bugs (with a link to the Launchpad bug report). Don't forget to add a comment for the original reporter on LP explaining what you are doing and why you are doing it | 21:59 |
| alo21 | nhandler: how can I add more than one link on LP? | 22:01 |
| nhandler | alo21: Did you report the second bug upstream? If so, what is the bug number? | 22:02 |
| alo21 | nhandler: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678682 | 22:03 |
| ubot2 | Gnome bug 678682 in general "Remember previously entered text" [Enhancement,Unconfirmed] | 22:03 |
| alo21 | nhandler: but I need to complete it | 22:03 |
| alo21 | nhandler: how can I attach the second upstream's link? | 22:05 |
| nhandler | alo21: It doesn't look like you can (I thought they fixed it), but I guess this makes sense as the original bug should have been reported as 2 separate bug reports. You can double check in -bugs, but I would probably close the ubuntu task as invalid/wishlist, add a comment explaining that you have gone ahead and reported the wishlist items upstream so they have a chance of getting implemented (they are not ... | 22:11 |
| nhandler | ... ubuntu-specific bugs) and link to the 2 bug reports. You might also encourage them to subscribe to the upstream bugs so that they are notified if/when they are fixed or if there are any questions. | 22:11 |
| nhandler | Another solution (that I don't care for) would be to edit this bug report to only be about one issue, link it to upstream, create a new ubuntu bug about the other issue, and then link that upstream. This is stupid IMO since the ubuntu tasks are invalid | 22:11 |
| alo21 | nhandler: can I comment by myself? | 22:13 |
| nhandler | alo21: Yes | 22:13 |
| nhandler | alo21: You should also probably subscribe to any bugs you touch | 22:14 |
| alo21 | nhandler: on Launchpad or on Bug-zilla? | 22:15 |
| nhandler | alo21: Both (although you are probably automatically subscribed on bugzilla since you reported it) | 22:16 |
| alo21 | nhandler: ok thanks | 22:19 |
| alo21 | nhandler: thank you again, I have to go, have a nice day | 22:26 |
