RaphaelBarrosBut I have some problems with it: when I set to Blender (which is my main program for my work) to stay on the dockand close the program afterwards, there's a space there with no icon, and when I click on it, this error appears: "KDEInit could not launch '/home/thebigheadedone/Blender 2.64 - Test Build/blender'"00:00
RaphaelBarros(which is strange, since my Blender folder is /Blender 2.65a)00:01
sithlord48you do not have system installed blender?00:02
RaphaelBarrosNope, I use the extracted version from their site00:02
RaphaelBarrosDo I need to install it from the Software Center or a ppa?00:02
sithlord48not really but you may need a menu entry for it to show correctly00:03
RaphaelBarrosI have one menu entry for it :/, when I open directly from a .desktop from my desktop, the icon that appears on the panel is a X, not the blender icon, and when I open from the menu entry, the same X appears and another space with the blender icon and a "loading" like effect, if set it to stay on the taskbar, the same error happens.00:14
RaphaelBarrosSo sad there has been no update to this widget since nov 10 2011.00:16
claptrapAnyone know of app that can view HTML and let you add notes or bookmarks? Like .pdf files.01:17

bjrohanHELP! I ran the fork bomb (I thought I had my processes limited correctly, but I did not). Soo, I rebooted, and now for some reason I can not open webpages in Chromium, or Chrome, but I can in FireFox. Also, I can not get system settings to open05:54
bjrohanI think the problem is that I have my settings set to restart anything I had runnin when I reboot05:55

SyriaHi, How can I poweroff several machines at one time? When the employees go home somethimes they forget their computers running!13:28
ludvikalogin13:35
monkeyjuiceSyria: why shut them down?13:36
Syriamonkeyjuice:  Because in Syria the electricity is very bad and we have no ups devices attached to the computers, So when they leave their offices sometimes they forget the computers running.13:37
monkeyjuiceyour system admin?13:38
Syriamonkeyjuice:  Yes.13:38
monkeyjuicehmmm guess you could just ssh in to them from your desk and do  a shutdown13:38
monkeyjuicebefore you leave13:39
monkeyjuiceor write a script set to time out13:39
Syriamonkeyjuice:  I thought about that, But it is not an easy thing for 35 computers.13:39
monkeyjuicehmmm13:39
monkeyjuicethey all leave at the same time every day13:39
sbivol_Syria: The best approach is for you to set a cron task that runs at a late hour, say if employees leave at 18:00, you set a task that does „shutdown now” and runs at 18:3013:40
sbivol_Syria: a nice application that I use on my computer is KShutdown. It is very flexible.13:41
sbivol_Syria: regarding the email link and Firefox, it's an issue because of the poor integration that Gnome applications have with other desktop environments. this link may help you: http://matthieu.yiptong.ca/2012/04/12/fix-file-open-and-open-containing-folder-on-kdekubuntu-12-04/13:49

The_Jaghi all17:20
The_JagI need a little help with Dolphin, my NAS and digikam17:21
The_Jaganyone willing to help?17:21
The_JagI have the need to mount some folders on my NAS onto my system17:21
DarthFrogThe_Jag:  Set up a NFS server on the NAS and mount the NFS shares into your filesystem.17:24
The_Jag:DarthFrog17:24
DarthFrogOr, if the NAS exports Windows shares, use Samba to mount them.17:24
The_JagDarthFrog: I already do that but on dolphin it shows the folders as Network Resources, not as Devices17:25
The_Jagso, when setting the folder to store photos in digikam, It cannot recognize the nas folder17:25
DarthFrogThe_Jag:  Likely Dolphin isn't reporting the mounted directories, it's likely doing uPNP.17:25
The_JagI added the folder using the wizard in dolphin, ssh connection17:26
DarthFrogCan you get to the NFS mounted directory via the command line?17:26
The_Jageven connecting through samba did not work for digikam17:26
The_Jaguhm17:27
The_Jaghow to do that?17:27
The_Jagsorry not that capable of using command line17:27
The_Jagmoving first steps17:27
DarthFrogThe_Jag: Hmm, sorry.17:28
The_Jagno prob17:28
The_Jagthanks17:28
DarthFrogHow are you browsing to the shares in Dolphin?  By clicking on the "Network" icon?17:29
DarthFrogCan you browse to the mounted shares by clicking on the "Root" icon?17:29
The_Jaglet me see17:29
The_Jagto access the folder17:30
The_JagI have to go through Network in the Resources left panel17:30
The_Jagnot root17:30
DarthFrogYeah, that's not mounting the remote directory into your file system.17:31
The_Jagexactly17:31
The_JagI reach it through ssh (via Dolphin)17:31
The_JagI'd like to see the folder as mounted like an harddrive17:31
The_Jaglike in Windows, OSX or even Gnome Nautilus17:32
The_Jagwithout using fstab17:32
The_JagI mean, I'd like to click on my NAS icon in Dolphin and then it mounts the device17:33
The_Jagin old ubuntu I could do that17:33
The_Jagin kubuntu and Dolphin I can't find the way17:33
DarthFrogI've never done it.  Never had to.  Sorry.17:34
The_JagOh ok, no problem then! Thanks for the help!17:34
DarthFrogBut I could see how that capability would be incredibly useful.17:34
DarthFrogI'm not saying it can't be done, BTW.  I'm saying I've never tried to do so. :-)17:35
The_Jagyes it is!17:35
The_Jag:)17:35
The_JagBTW what's NFS?17:36
DarthFrogNetwork File System.   It's exactly what you want.  But it's not trivial.17:36
The_JagAh17:36
The_Jagok17:36
The_JagIjust enabled it from the nas control panel let's see what will happen17:36
DarthFrogIf your NAS device has a NFS server, you'll be away to the races.17:37
The_Jagshould I see it from root?17:38
DarthFrogNot until it's properly configured.17:38
DarthFrogYou will have to tell the NFS server which directories to export.17:38
The_Jagok17:39
DarthFrogThen you'll have to mount those exports (shared directories) you want into your file system.17:39
The_Jaguhm17:40
DarthFrogSet the mounting up in fstab and it's there all the time .17:40
The_Jagnow the thing is to set up the nas then17:40
DarthFrogI did say it wasn't trivial. :-)17:40
The_Jag:)17:40
DarthFrogYes, set up the NAS to export the directories you want.17:40
DarthFrogThen confirm that it's been done properly by opening up a command line terminal (i.e konsole in KDE) by the following command "showmount -e <ip address of NAS device or name if it's resolveable>"17:42
The_JagDolphin is powerful but messy17:42
The_Jagbut still i don't want to mount the nas always17:43
The_JagI'd like to mount it when I want17:43
DarthFrogThen set the "noauto" switch in fstab.17:43
The_Jaglet me see17:43
The_Jagoh17:43
The_Jagcool17:43
The_Jag:D17:43
FloodBotK1The_Jag: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.17:43
DarthFrogThe_Jag:  Here's my fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1500289/17:46
The_Jagthanks17:46
DarthFrogAll the "nodev,noexec,nosuid" options are for security.17:48
The_Jagok get it17:49
The_Jagstill trying to set up the nas though :P17:49
DarthFrogHave fun. :-)17:49
