[07:56] Hello I am new to Ubuntu and could really use some help. Is there anyone out there that can help me? [08:04] In 6 minutes? probably not [08:05] hello geirha [08:05] always good to see you [08:06] wish people would stick around a little bit longer [08:06] might be worth ading to out ewiki pages to give people time to respond...probaably alreadt their [08:11] hi, duanedesign :) [08:11] My builtin auto-correct fails on your last line there [08:13] haha [08:14] i am learning some andoid develpment [08:15] geirha: something i have always wanted to do. I just wish it was not in JAVA [08:15] not my best ls=anguage. [08:16] something like C would be good [08:16] :) [08:42] Hm. Doesn't android have python too? [14:25] morning....I have multiple computers at home. most are ubuntu, but I have 2 windows and 2 macs. Is there a way though ubuntu or ubuntu server to make something that works like what we have at work where I have single login to linux, mac, windows? I think guy at work said something about active directory, but I thought that was only for windows? [14:26] IODaddIO: single login for what? [14:26] i mean, if you have the same user and password on all the machines, thats the same credentials per machine [14:30] well, I have been assigning them a computer up to now; but that is getting sloppy since somethings just don't run on mac or linux. I need to be able to control internet access for each user differently and if there is a way, I need to restrict using certain programs too (although internet is more important in home situations of course) [14:30] http://serverfault.com/questions/13419/what-are-some-good-open-source-alternatives-to-active-directory [14:30] i agree that samba mostly does what you are looking for, and at least used to be integrated in OSX [14:31] IODaddIO: if i wanted to "control" internet access, i would do that at the gateway in an OS agnostic way, if i had different OS's [14:31] restricting programs will be on a per machine basis [14:32] holstein: k, differing levels of maturity is the problem. We had our first google search for "boob" if you know what I mean ;) [14:32] i would try and get as clear a picture of what you want as you can.. and go from there [14:33] IODaddIO: sure.. and there are *easy* services such as openDNS's family shield [14:33] it maybe easier to control on user [14:33] you put that on the router/gateway, and *all* machines have that [14:33] or, you can do it on a per machine basis via DNS [14:33] http://blog.opendns.com/2010/06/23/introducing-familyshield-parental-controls/ [14:35] most user permissions scenarios in linux are going to be mostly like OSX [14:35] windows is getter "better" at this as well.. [14:58] anyone there? [14:58] failed to install no-ip.com [14:58] package not found [15:03] khoo: ? [15:04] http://www.noip.com/downloads.php [15:04] http://www.noip.com/downloads.php?page=linux is the linux link.. you just download what they provide and follow instructions [15:06] khoo: also, it seems it is in the repos.. or was [15:06] http://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/installing-the-linux-dynamic-update-client-on-ubuntu/ [15:06] !info noip2 [15:06] Package noip2 does not exist in raring [15:06] !info noip [15:06] Package noip does not exist in raring [15:07] !info no-ip [15:07] Package no-ip does not exist in raring [19:37] Hi the pthread library in Ubuntu 12.04 is located at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux for 64 bit and /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu for 32 bit. I am creating multi-threaded application, how could I write a generic linker command so it link to appropriate library? thx [19:37] rostam: i would try a more programming specific channel [19:38] thx [22:19] hi! can anybody help me figure out how i can get nautilus to generate thumbnails on images stored on a mounted network folder? [22:19] I'm using ubuntu gnome 13.04 btw [22:21] sorry, I mean on folders containing images, not the actual image [22:22] If I were you, I think I'd try #ubuntu-gnome [22:24] I thought a general nautilus related question would fit in here too [22:25] It would, but I've not used it for quite some times, you are free to wait for an answer though! [22:28] thanks! I think I figured it out though, doesn't seem like it does it by default but there are thumbnailer scripts for it
