tsimpsonunutulmusolan: by default Kubuntu uses LightDM09:33
unutulmusolantsimpson sorry i mean monitor manager09:33
tsimpsonmonitor manager?09:33
unutulmusolanposition of monitors, what monitors will be used etc.09:33
tsimpsonthat's part of KDEs System Settings, it should come with any KDE install09:34

yofelunutulmusolan: old one was krandr (first screenshot), new one is kscreen09:40

user_guywhat's wrong?  is it something with my cd tray, with the disc, or is it just not compatible with my system?11:57

PeterGriffinSamba problem: When I try to create ot copy file in a samba share from a Kubuntu desktop, the access is denied. It happens when it is mounted fron /etc/fstab. When I mount it browsing the network from frowser it acts ok.12:30
EvilRoeyHowdy12:36
EvilRoeyBluesKaj, PeterGriffin: good morning12:36
EvilRoeyI am trying to figure out why Firefox takes fifteen seconds until it actually starts receiving data from a page, and why Chromium-Browser does it instantly.12:36
PeterGriffinEvilRoey: Good morning 12:37
BluesKajwhat are mounting in /etc/fstab  PeterGriffin , are you trying to add a shared drive/partition ?12:38
BluesKaj'Morning EvilRoey12:39
PeterGriffinBluesKaj: Exactly12:41
=== EvilRoey is now known as LessEvilRoey
PeterGriffinBluesKaj:  Just to add - mounted to other computers this share has no problem to be writen to.12:46
BluesKajsharing folders  over a network doesn't need fstab entries , sharing drives is best using SSH or NFS http://milindpadalkar.wordpress.com/2011/05/08/sharing-folders-using-samba/12:46
=== soul is now known as Guest84757
BluesKajPeterGriffin, I'm somewhat confused are you sharing whole drives or just the /home directory?12:50
PeterGriffinBluesKaj: it is a whole drive12:51
BluesKajPeterGriffin, , ok what errors , justa ccess denied ?12:53
BluesKajaccess denied 12:53
PeterGriffinAccess denied. Could not write <file>12:54
BluesKajand are these other linux machines or windows, or both ?12:54
PeterGriffinBluesKaj: Both.12:55
LessEvilRoeySo12:58
=== Greylocks_ is now known as Greylocks
BluesKajPeterGriffin, I used the "add network folder" option in dolphin to access wife's pc using the "microsoft windows network drive" protocol , for linux I use ssh option /protocol. They both use smb , which is samba withput the gui.13:02
BluesKajwthout the gui13:02
BluesKajwifes' pc is a window machine of course13:04
BluesKajdamn KB , gonna throw it out the window soon 13:04
PeterGriffinhahaa13:05
PeterGriffinBut when I mount it through Dolphin it is read only13:05
PeterGriffinI don't know why13:05
PeterGriffinto mount it with fstab solves the problem in other computer13:06
PeterGriffinonly here there is this problem13:06
BluesKajthat sounds like NFS not samba13:07
AvihayBluesKaj: I have this NFS issue where a folder contents don't get updated properly. the files int the folder are consumed by the server, but the client still sees files there. sometimes an ls would fix it, but not always, the only solution I have so far that worked, was to finger a file, and then instantly rm it. I don't want a hack like that13:07
BluesKajAvihay, what about rsync?13:08
PeterGriffinBluesKaj: Doesn't samba use NFS13:09
AvihayI have a program that has to create files for the server to consume, and I musn't generate too many files in one batch, or the FS overhead costs too much time13:09
BluesKajPeterGriffin, not by default13:11
Avihaything is, the client program displays how many files are in the queue (server shared folder where files are consumed from), and having it stuck on 8 looks bad to the user13:11
=== mzanetti|lunch is now known as mzanetti
BluesKajAvihay, I've never seen or experienced that with NFS , so i don't know what could be wrong 13:13
AvihayI assume it's some sort of folder state cache13:13
BluesKajPeterGriffin, http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2011-May/162651.html13:14
bjrohanDoes anyone here have experience with KMail? I have 2 accounts. I sent an email from acct 1 (gmail) to acct 2 (godaddy). It arrived in my accout #2, in acct #2 when I hit reply, it is using my acct #1 settings (it is not replying to the gmail account, it is replying from the gmail accout)13:16
BluesKajAvihay, I assume that rsync would help update files over NFS if it could be set as a script in startup , but that doesn't seem to be relevant to a queue problem13:17
bjrohanIf I use reply to author, the to address is correct, but it uses my gmail signature, not my godaddy signature13:17
AvihayI concur13:18
PeterGriffinMy battery went down13:21
PeterGriffinDid I miss St13:21
BluesKajPeterGriffin, no , you didn't13:22
BluesKajserver/client13:24
PeterGriffinIt says it is rwad/write, but it is not. I really can'tfigure it out13:31
* BluesKaj wishes he had more experience with WANs13:33
* LessEvilRoey wants some attention from BluesKaj too13:33
LessEvilRoeythis Fx issue is annoying me13:34
BluesKajwell LessEvilRoey , io'm not exactly having much success helping so far today :(13:34
LessEvilRoeyhey it's alright13:35
LessEvilRoeyI understand then.13:35
LessEvilRoeytake your time.13:36
BluesKajLessEvilRoey, firefox loads it's plugins from the mozilla plugins file when it launches , chromium has flash onboard so it's faster to load13:37
BluesKajPeterGriffin, is the access denied pc on a local network , or part of an intranet system13:40
PeterGriffinLAN13:40
PeterGriffinBluesKaj: I have a feeling it is a credential issue but I cant figure out exactly how13:41
BluesKajPeterGriffin, try accessing thru network folder using ssh setting if it's alinux pc13:43
BluesKajforget samba gui for now13:43
PeterGriffinis this option in fs tab13:44

BluesKajno13:44

PeterGriffinit was like this: fish://..... right?13:45
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  it's not Flash13:45
BluesKajfish can work 13:45
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  it's that hwen I try to access Facebook,13:45
LessEvilRoeyFirefox just sits there13:46
LessEvilRoeyfor about twenty seconds.  Before it starts pulling data.13:46
BluesKajno matter what the site FF  loads flash by default afaik13:47
BluesKajLessEvilRoey,^13:47
PeterGriffinBluesKaj: It cannot write still, even though the permitions are 77713:48
LessEvilRoeyoh.13:48
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  are you saying that it is loading Flash?13:48
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  and that this is taking time?13:48
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  how can I verify that this is indeed the cause?13:48
LessEvilRoeyFor what it's worth I have Noscript running.13:48
BluesKajamongst other things , depends how many plugins are enabled, LessEvilRoey13:49

BluesKajLessEvilRoey, try launching your browsers from the cli and check the outputs 14:00
PeterGriffinBluesKaj: I think I found the solution. I added option in fstab - noperm. Now it works. 14:01
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  good idea, thanks14:01
BluesKajPeterGriffin, cool ! , what does noperm enable?14:01
BluesKajpermissions obviously , but that's somewhat insecure , no ?14:02
PeterGriffinBluesKaj: As I unterstand it disables credentials check on the server 14:03
BluesKajright14:03
PeterGriffinyea it seems insecure, but I don't know in what way14:04
BluesKajare you sure you want that , it seems like a dangerous solution 14:04
BluesKajPeterGriffin,^14:04
PeterGriffinIn the option summary reads that the insecurity is something like it will be available for the other users on the client machine14:05
faLUCE.14:05
BluesKajwell, a solution for now , perhaps someone else can help with this 14:05
BluesKajanyway i don't understand using fstab with samba , NFS is a better method for LANs in my expreience14:07
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  also, does this http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/12/showbiz/movies/jk-rowling-new-movie-potter/index.html?hpt=hp_t3   14:09
PeterGriffinI know it is the usual way, NFS, but it would mean I have to reconfigure the whole network14:09
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  does that page make your text look weird 14:09
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  as if some of the characters are not filled in (I see only outlines of the letters)14:09
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  and I've duped it on both Fx and Chromium-Browser.14:09
BluesKajles you have to have javascript running14:10
BluesKajLessEvilRoey,^14:10
BluesKajthe page loads and reads fine here , LessEvilRoey14:11
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  chromium-browser has JS running by default and Fx has it enabled for that site14:11
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  I should take a screenshot..14:11
PeterGriffinBluesKaj: thanks for the support. If you meet this problem again keep in mind to use both "noperm" and "guest" optiond.14:11
PeterGriffinoptions*14:12
BluesKajwell PeterGriffin no permissions ia a bit drastic so I'm reluctant to suggest it 14:13
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:   blast it! I tried taking a screenshot but the screenshot doesn't show this!14:14
LessEvilRoeyit could be my monitor.14:14
LessEvilRoeybut then, this isthe only place I see this issue (on that specific page)14:14
BluesKajLessEvilRoey, is this page linked thru facebook , if so try pasting the url in the addressbar directly 14:16
* BluesKaj wonders how much tracking facebook does14:18
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  it is not14:19
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  probably a lot14:19
LessEvilRoeyre: tracking by Facebook14:19
BluesKajLessEvilRoey, one thing to check , look in ' about:plugins ' in your browser addressbar , and check what's enabled/disabled14:24
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  ok14:25
LessEvilRoeyBluesKaj:  also, I've noticed that Youtube takes forever and does not load in the end (i.e. the page never loads)14:26
LessEvilRoeyon Firefox14:26
LessEvilRoeyI attribute that to Flash having crashed yesterday14:26
BluesKajahh genii , glad to see you , we need some help here with fstab shares permissions , then browser 14:26
LessEvilRoeyon Chromium-browser, Youtube loads instantly14:26
LessEvilRoeygenii:  hey!!14:26
* genii makes more coffee14:27
BluesKajhave you tried reinstalling flash plugin installer14:27
BluesKajLessEvilRoey,^14:27
LessEvilRoeyoh, I will try that then14:27
LessEvilRoeyoh, is genii also a tester?14:27
geniiLessEvilRoey: Yes, I'm running 13.10 at the moment14:28
LessEvilRoeyahh gotcha14:28
LessEvilRoeyis it usable?14:28
LessEvilRoeylike, should I upgrade to this still-in-development release?14:28
BluesKajI'm on 13.10 LessEvilRoey ..seems fine right now 14:29
LessEvilRoeybackground: I've had years of experience running Debian SID on my home machine14:29
LessEvilRoeybackground: and rolled my own kernels14:29
