| locodir-user | hi guys, anyone knows how to create permissions to copy to a usb drive? | 03:41 |
| akk | Is the usb drive vfat (windows/dos format), or a Unix/Linux format? | 03:41 |
| locodir-user | i just format a usb drive and is asking me for permission to copy files | 03:41 |
| akk | How did you format it? | 03:41 |
| locodir-user | is ext2 | 03:41 |
| locodir-user | should format it in dos format | 03:42 |
| locodir-user | ???? | 03:42 |
| akk | In ext2, you have normal Linux permissions. So the ownership and mode of the directory controls which users can write to it. | 03:42 |
| akk | If you want everybody to be able to write to it, you can chmod 777 /path/to/directory | 03:42 |
| akk | (might have to use sudo for that) | 03:42 |
| locodir-user | yes, but in owner is root | 03:44 |
| akk | Or if it'll always be used by you, you can sudo chown yourname /path/to/wherever | 03:44 |
| akk | and then it'll be writable by your user. | 03:44 |
| akk | Careful if you use multiple machines, though, you'll need to make sure your user ID is the same on all the machines. | 03:44 |
| locodir-user | The folder "Untitled Folder" cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to create it in the destination. | 03:44 |
| locodir-user | that's the message i have when i try copying to that usb | 03:45 |
| akk | Sure, because it's root and you're not root and you haven't changed permissions or ownership. | 03:45 |
| locodir-user | how can i change the permission?? | 03:45 |
| akk | Just like how another user would get an error trying to copy files into your home directory, or into /usr. | 03:45 |
| akk | I just told you how, chmod. | 03:46 |
| locodir-user | sudo chmod???? | 03:46 |
| akk | right, with sudo if it's owned by root | 03:46 |
| akk | Your filemanager might have some way to do it with right-click, but I don't know how, and nobody else seems to be chiming in here. | 03:46 |
| locodir-user | ok, i'll try, thank you :) | 03:47 |
| locodir-user | anyone here??? | 06:32 |

| pleia2 | to change the topic | 19:33 |
| grantbow | great, thanks | 19:34 |
| pleia2 | ah, I'll mention it here too! http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Lenovo+-+15.6%26%2334%3B+Laptop+-+2GB+Memory+-+320GB+Hard+Drive+-+Black/6733454.p | 19:59 |

| pleia2 | for black friday fans out there, I own the G575, needs the proprietary amd drivers in 12.10 but otherwise works great in Ubuntu :) | 20:00 |
| pleia2 | and at $187.99 it's a steal | 20:00 |
| pleia2 | s/amd/ati | 20:01 |
| pleia2 | (and they're apt-gettable) | 20:01 |
| pleia2 | I paid $299 for my G575 during a sale | 20:01 |
| grantbow | +1 | 20:02 |
| pleia2 | I'd buy one as another test system, but I really need something with more processor | 20:03 |
| pleia2 | it's fine for day to day stuff, but I've been playing with virtualized systems | 20:04 |
| pleia2 | gets sloooow :) | 20:04 |
| grantbow | the 580 is an intel, the 585 is an AMD. Nice. | 20:05 |
| grantbow | I like AMD because they didn't create HDCP in the Blue Ray spec that is so evil! lol | 20:05 |
| pleia2 | lol | 20:05 |
| grantbow | I put in my first blue ray disc into my new blue ray player and found I could no longer use my vga monitor to watch a movie! HDCP is evil. | 20:07 |

| pleia2 | haven't yet played with a system that ships with windows 8 and the evil involved there | 20:07 |
| grantbow | yeah, coreboot part of UEFI | 20:08 |
| pleia2 | oh hey, it's time for me to leave for my turkey lunch | 20:08 |
| pleia2 | later all | 20:08 |
| grantbow | later! | 20:09 |
