[03:41] <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
[03:42] <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)
[03:44] <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.
[03:45] <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.
[03:46] <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.
[03:47] <locodir-user> ok, i'll try, thank you :)
[06:32] <locodir-user> anyone here???
[06:49] <bkerensa> locodir-user: hi

[19:32] <pleia2> grantbow: when doing the log, best bet is to pull the .txt one from irclogs.ubuntu.com

[19:33] <pleia2> to change the topic
[19:34] <grantbow> great, thanks
[19:59] <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

[20:00] <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
[20:01] <pleia2> s/amd/ati
[20:01] <pleia2> (and they're apt-gettable)
[20:01] <pleia2> I paid $299 for my G575 during a sale
[20:02] <grantbow> +1
[20:03] <pleia2> I'd buy one as another test system, but I really need something with more processor
[20:04] <pleia2> it's fine for day to day stuff, but I've been playing with virtualized systems
[20:04] <pleia2> gets sloooow :)
[20:05] <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
[20:07] <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
[20:08] <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
[20:09] <grantbow> later!
