[00:00] <bvb> hello friends
[00:01] <bvb> is there a way to view the file permissions in the detailed view of folders?
[00:09] <ianorlin> in pcmanfm?
[00:15] <bvb> yeah
[00:30] <bvb> so do you know how to apply that setting?
[00:31] <ianorlin> I don't
[00:32] <ianorlin> not sure you can
[02:26] <katkisson> Is it better to leave my computer on hibernate all night or to shut down? Which one is easier for the computer?
[02:28] <Unit193> Hibernate is the same thing, just copies the ram to disk, then copies back on bootup (basically.)  Hibernate is a bit slower and in this a little more unstable.
[02:29] <katkisson> o.k. thanks!
[06:15] <warsong> hi all
[06:16] <warsong> is there a GUI for scaning for bad secotrs?
[06:23] <phillw> warsong: out of interest or out of the fact the drive is dying?
[06:23] <warsong> I need/want a utitle to scan for bad sectors
[06:24] <Unit193> Brand?
[06:24] <bioterror> gnome-disk-utility - manage and configure disk drives and media
[06:24] <warsong> Im sorry I dont understand
[06:24] <warsong> I have wel over 30 ide drives
[06:25] <warsong> Lubuntu dose not run gnome dose it?
[06:25] <Unit193> Nope, doesn't mean that won't work.
[06:25] <phillw> warsong: you can use gnome-disk-utility  - just install it.
[06:26] <warsong> k i will download the packet right now
[06:26] <Unit193> I have a seagate drive, so I may use seatools or mhdd. :P
[06:26] <bioterror> if I had ide drives, I would use hammer :-)
[06:26] <warsong> I feel your pain
[06:26] <warsong> I trash  a lot of them
[06:27] <warsong> but people are in need
[06:27] <phillw> If, however, you want to scan for bad sectors and have them marked as such on the disk(s), then look at the 1st answer on http://askubuntu.com/questions/104063/how-can-i-know-the-number-of-bad-sectors-on-my-hard-drive
[06:27] <warsong> but you cant scan a drive if it mounted
[06:27] <phillw> A failing hard drive is failing, but if it genuinely has had a slight accident in its life, that link may help you.
[06:28] <phillw> warsong: for bad sector scanning, expect the drive to be wiped clean. you can not do non-destructive testing.
[06:29] <warsong> huh spin right dose it
[06:29] <phillw> well, you can, but it is not worth the paper you print the result out on.
[06:29] <warsong> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpinRite
[06:30] <phillw> warsong: *reading* from a sector <> *writing* to a sector, but if you wish to follow wikipedia, why did you ask in here?
[06:31] <warsong> that dose not fit the roll im looking for
[06:31] <warsong> it was just a off topic thing sorry
[06:45] <Jamie_> Hello, can I have some help with permissions?
[06:49] <phillw> !ask | Jamie_
[06:50] <Jamie_> I installed lamp and when I go to create a file inside var/www it won't save the file. I think I need to chmod the directory?
[06:51] <phillw> Jamie_: this is not lubuntu related, so before the big bad wolf comes and complains, can you please
[06:51] <phillw> /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:51] <phillw> and I'll be happy to chat with you about LAMP and /var/www
[06:51] <Jamie_> It is Lubuntu Related.
[06:52] <Jamie_> I'm on Lubuntu though...
[06:52] <phillw> jamie, please issue the command '/j #lubuntu-offtopic' (with out the ')
[06:53] <Unit193> He's asking a support question, which is best off in a support channel...
[11:11] <Monday> what do i type to install xfce so that i can test it out, then what do i type to remove it after without removing the xfce stuff for lubuntu
[17:28] <Monday> how often are LXDE releases and what version is the current one
[17:34] <phillw> Monday: lxde does not have a 'release' as such, it is the collection of 'lx' components which get updated as the developers have time. These components then go into 'releases'.
[17:37] <phillw> Monday: head over to http://blog.lxde.org/ which has lots of great links to the lxde project.
[19:41] <map> hey y'all
[20:05] <javatexan> Iubuntu is really nice, thank you for all hard work
[21:26] <phillw> javatexan: thank you for your kind words :)
