| wh0_d4T | running 13.04 raring. compile sublime text 2 and runs well | 06:05 |
|---|---|---|
| wh0_d4T | launched in terminal by simply typing: sublime | 06:05 |
| wh0_d4T | However, I would like to create some sort of launcher for it. | 06:05 |
| wh0_d4T | all of the examples online are geared toward Unity. | 06:05 |
| Unit193 | Copy /usr/share/applications/somefile.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/sublime.desktop and edit accordingly. | 06:06 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: when I ls in /usr/share/applications there is no sublime.desktop file present | 06:10 |
| ianorlin | do you have it installed? | 06:10 |
| wh0_d4T | ianorlin: yes, in terminal, i type: sublime and it starts. but this is rather kludgy | 06:11 |
| wh0_d4T | as I have to leave the terminal window open. | 06:11 |
| wh0_d4T | kludge | 06:11 |
| Unit193 | wh0_d4T: I figured, I meant for you to copy another one and use it as an example, changing the name, exec, and icon. | 06:15 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: so essentially I'm using one as a template and configuring | 06:16 |
| Unit193 | Exactly. | 06:16 |
| wh0_d4T | it to the new sublime.desktop | 06:16 |
| wh0_d4T | ok i see | 06:16 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: is it odd that I don't have any .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications? | 06:18 |
| Unit193 | Not really. | 06:18 |
| wh0_d4T | just wondering all of the .desktop files are in /usr/share/applications... | 06:19 |
| Unit193 | That's where system installed ones go, user or modified ones go in .local, which also override global. | 06:19 |
| wh0_d4T | gotcha | 06:19 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: opened .desktop file in gedit. just pathed to /opt/ | 06:23 |
| wh0_d4T | and noticed sublime text folder is named with spaces | 06:23 |
| wh0_d4T | so in Exec=/path/to/folder/ do I need to use double quotes? | 06:24 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: in /opt the folder for sublime text is "Sublime Text 2" | 06:26 |
| Unit193 | I don't remember, strangely enough I think not, but may be wrong. | 06:27 |
| Unit193 | http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html ah, there we go then. | 06:28 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: quoted it is | 06:29 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: thanks a ton! can launch sublime text 2 perfectly | 06:55 |
| wh0_d4T | only having issues with the icon. | 06:55 |
| Unit193 | Sure thing! | 06:55 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: so in Icon= for sublime.desktop, am I pathing to were the Icon is --> full path? | 06:57 |
| Unit193 | If it's outside of the normal locations, yep.\ | 06:58 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: well Exec="/opt/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text" %U | 06:59 |
| wh0_d4T | it doesn't inherit from Exec=? | 07:00 |
| wh0_d4T | I'll try full path. | 07:01 |
| wh0_d4T | brb | 07:02 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: hmmm. still no icon. can I paste bin my sublime.desktop? | 07:05 |
| Unit193 | wh0_d4T: Sure, what format are you using? | 07:06 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: what do you mean what format? | 07:07 |
| Unit193 | Image format, png, svg, etc. | 07:08 |
| wh0_d4T | oh. png | 07:08 |
| wh0_d4T | I also noticed that sublime has their png files in an Icon folder | 07:08 |
| wh0_d4T | would this matter since in vim it lit up green like Icon= | 07:09 |
| wh0_d4T | http://pastebin.com/gZPmV8t1 | 07:11 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: i think my pathing to the png is wrong. | 07:13 |
| Unit193 | try file "/opt/Sublime Text 2/Icon/16x16/sublime_text.png" might want to put it under "Games" too. | 07:16 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: do I need to reboot to see changes? | 07:17 |
| Unit193 | Shouldn't need to, no. And the category is "Game", not "Games", my bad. | 07:18 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: what do you mean by try file? | 07:21 |
| Unit193 | `file` is a command. | 07:22 |
| wh0_d4T | oh | 07:22 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: just gives info on png | 07:23 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: thanks for your help. I'll give it a rest for now | 07:27 |
| wh0_d4T | Unit193: the main thing is that it launches. I can pretty it later. :) | 07:27 |
| Unit193 | wh0_d4T: Sure, done that before. | 07:27 |

| Abhinav | Hi , What could be something intresting in lubuuntu | 12:07 |
| blokkie | where can i find lubuntu restricted-extras for version 10.04 (running on amd geode nx 1750) | 12:28 |
| abradley | I just set it up and login but get blackandwhitedot screen - kde/gnome/display manager issue? | 12:39 |
| abradley | anyone use xrdp to rdp into lubuntu? | 12:40 |
| rtcg72a | Hi, does anyone know which sound driver should be loaded for the Creative AWE 64 ISA soundcard? | 13:29 |
| pablok | running lubuntu 10.04 on amd geode (non-PAE) and am looking for lubuntu-restricted-extras. Are they around somewhere? | 13:49 |
| abradley | Is it possilbe to use windows rdp into lubuntu? | 13:56 |
| abradley | I'm getting the b/w mesh screen. I think this is a display manager issue | 13:56 |

| abradley | Is there a way to use windows rdp client to remote into lubuntu? | 16:56 |
| abradley | I can't get xrdp to work | 16:56 |
| abradley | with xrdp, after login I get b/w mesh (display manager issue)? | 16:56 |
| DanS_ | abradley: dont know if this will help http://askubuntu.com/questions/91657/blank-desktop-when-logging-in-via-xrdp | 16:57 |
| wxl | abradley: did that help? | 17:22 |
| abradley | nah. I was hoping someone here would have some personal experience | 17:22 |
| abradley | I guess everyone uses vnc | 17:22 |
| wxl | for a local network it makes sense | 17:23 |
| wxl | and xrdp has its quirks, e.g. that it's really only meant to start a session, nto continue an old one | 17:23 |
| wxl | (there's ways around this but ultimately they require vnc) | 17:24 |
| DanS_ | sorry abradley | 17:24 |
| abradley | np, thanks for both of your input | 17:26 |
| DanS_ | could you use a different rdp client? | 17:27 |
| wxl | rdesktop and remina both work fine in my experience | 17:32 |
| DanS_ | rdesktop works for me as well to get onto the remote network i use | 17:32 |
| DanS_ | Ok Windows is gone and Lubuntu successfully installed! | 17:50 |
| wxl | congrats | 17:54 |
| zleap | congrats from me too | 17:55 |
| abradley | is there a right or wrong place to mount nfs shares? | 17:56 |
| abradley | should it always be done under home/user? | 17:56 |
| abradley | home/user/mnt | 17:56 |
| abradley | ? | 17:56 |
| zleap | not sure, sorry | 17:56 |
| DanS_ | wxl zleap thanks | 17:58 |
| wxl | abradley: there's no right or wrong place, no, but i'd stay away from places like /media and /cdrom for example :) | 18:00 |
| wxl | abradley: i assume this is a single user system. if not, you might want to put it in a more readily accessible place than someone's home | 18:00 |
| abradley | like /mnt? | 18:01 |
| abradley | is /mnt meant for mounts? | 18:01 |
| wxl | yeah | 18:01 |
| abradley | ok, thanks | 18:01 |

| abradley | I've been trying to use autofs to mount an nfs share for two hours | 18:44 |
| abradley | to no avail | 18:45 |
| wxl | i use autofs but not for nfs | 19:00 |
| wxl | sshfs in fact | 19:00 |
| wxl | it's quite lovely :) | 19:00 |
| wxl | abradley: you saw this, i'm assuming? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs#EXAMPLE:_Auto-mounting_an_NFS_share | 19:02 |
| wxl | just use /media instead of /nfs in /etc/auto.master | 19:03 |
| wxl | otherwise you need to create /nfs | 19:03 |
| wxl | well i guess you wouldn't need to | 19:04 |
| wxl | that's right; i forget that autofs will create it | 19:04 |
| abradley | wxl, yes, that's what I'm using | 19:08 |
| abradley | ....to no avail | 19:08 |
| wxl | what results are you having? | 19:08 |
| abradley | I'm having some sort of permissions issue | 19:08 |
| abradley | paste coming | 19:09 |
| wxl | k | 19:09 |

| abradley | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6325746/ | 19:11 |
| abradley | I've manually created /mnt/nfs/vol1 | 19:11 |
| abradley | when running autofs hides /mnt/nfs/vol1 | 19:12 |
| wxl | yeah don't create it | 19:12 |
| wxl | it will do it for you | 19:12 |
| wxl | or should | 19:12 |
| ianorlin | maybe it mounted it somewhere else? | 19:12 |
| abradley | I'll check | 19:12 |
| abradley | cannot find mounted anywhere | 19:14 |
| wxl | so mount doesn't return anything? | 19:14 |
| abradley | http://i.imgur.com/bZ4Ba9O.png | 19:15 |
| wxl | cuz you SHOULD see something like freenas2.rxbenefits.local:/mnt/vol1 on /mnt/nfs/vol1 type nfs or something of the sort | 19:16 |
| abradley | http://i.imgur.com/r8FE3vk.png | 19:16 |
| wxl | do you see the same effects if you actually ls the directory? | 19:16 |
| abradley | interesting | 19:17 |
| wxl | btw you can do cool things like /exec -o cat /etc/autofs.master | pastebinit to reduce copying and pasting :) | 19:17 |
| wxl | assuming you have pastbinit installed (which you should!) | 19:18 |
| abradley | http://i.imgur.com/BVj61rt.png | 19:18 |
| abradley | doesn't show in gui, shows in CLI | 19:18 |
| abradley | good call | 19:18 |
| wxl | right so maybe pcmanfm doesn't refresh | 19:18 |
| wxl | which is new on me | 19:18 |
| wxl | i thought it did | 19:18 |
| abradley | shoot, ticket. bbiam | 19:18 |
| wxl | k | 19:19 |
| abradley | ok, pcmanfm is what I need to look into | 19:28 |
| abradley | should I just grab a different fm? | 19:28 |
| wxl | well like i was saying, it might be a bug | 19:29 |
| wxl | perhaps specific to autofs | 19:29 |
| wxl | go to your home directory in terminal and pcmanfm and make a new file (touch filename) and see if it pops up | 19:29 |
| wxl | i believe it should | 19:29 |
| wxl | i would myself but i'm not in front of the lubuntu machine at work | 19:30 |
| abradley | yes | 19:30 |
| abradley | should I just create this mnt in my home folder? is that my problem? | 19:30 |
| abradley | in the user's home folder | 19:30 |
| wxl | no, what i'm thinking is that pcmanfm wasn't build with autofs integration in mind and that may be the issue | 19:31 |
| wxl | i would make a bug report and it'll get fixed in the future | 19:31 |
| wxl | !bugs | abradley | 19:31 |
| ubottu | abradley: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 19:31 |
| abradley | forgive the dumb question, but F5 isn't the same "refresh" as your talking about is it? | 19:31 |
| wxl | well yeah that will work | 19:31 |
| abradley | I mean, with autofs running, F5 doesn't make vol1 pop up | 19:31 |
| wxl | yeah that's a bug for sure | 19:31 |
| wxl | anywho off to lunch | 19:32 |
| abradley | so then this is def a pcmanfm issue? | 19:32 |
| abradley | thanks a lot for hte tup | 19:32 |
| wxl | yep, i'd say so | 19:32 |
| abradley | the info | 19:32 |
| wxl | making a bug for something that's not a pcmanfm issue is not bad, it'll just get reassigned | 19:32 |
| wxl | either way, reporting the bug will make the fix happen one way or another | 19:32 |
| ianorlin | I thought control r was refresh for pcmanfm | 19:34 |
| abradley | I'm not sure that this is a fm issue | 19:45 |
| abradley | ... | 19:45 |
| abradley | check this out: http://i.imgur.com/iJw7GNs.png | 19:45 |
| abradley | after startup, /mnt/nfs/vol1 is gone | 19:46 |
| abradley | starting autofs cannot create it | 19:46 |
| abradley | it was there at reboot | 19:46 |
| abradley | /mnt and /mnt/nfs both owned by root | 19:48 |
| abradley | for some reason, this process must be repeated after every boot to get the mount to work. Somehow, autofs keeps deleteing the vol1 folder: http://i.imgur.com/y0gNBbk.png | 20:26 |
| wxl | autofs takes control of the folder specified in /etc/auto.master | 20:37 |
| wxl | so if you specify /mnt/nfs, while autofs is running you won't be able to do ANYTHING with nfs or anything inside it | 20:38 |
| wxl | no matter if you're root or not | 20:38 |
| abradley | the problem is that autofs deletes /mnt/nfs/vol1 at reboot | 20:41 |
| abradley | because upon restart, /mnt/nfs/vol1 is gone | 20:42 |
| abradley | well, I'm not sure autofs deletes it, but it something deletes it because it's gone upon reboot. I suspect autofs | 20:43 |
| abradley | Is autofs supposed to delete a preexisting file? | 20:47 |
| abradley | /directory | 20:48 |
| wxl | it should delete it when it's not on | 20:51 |
| wxl | but assuming autofs starts at boot, you shouldn't have an issue | 20:51 |
| wxl | abradley: do you have /etc/init/autofs.conf? | 20:55 |
| wxl | if you don't that's probably the issue | 20:55 |
| wxl | you should check to see if autofs is running when you reboot | 20:55 |
| abradley | its there | 20:58 |
| abradley | autofs runs at startup, yes | 20:58 |
| wxl | and yet it seems to be misbehaving | 20:58 |
| wxl | odd | 20:58 |
| abradley | I haven't poked through autofs.conf. I'll do that in the morning. THanks for all your help. | 20:59 |
| wxl | you can also check your logs | 20:59 |
| wxl | sudo grep -ri autofs /var/log | 20:59 |
| wxl | um | 20:59 |
| wxl | sudo grep -ri autofs /var/log | less | 20:59 |
| mellokin | Hello! | 21:41 |
| mellokin | may I ask a tech question? how do i go about making all scroll bars universally wider? | 21:42 |
| mellokin | i'm specifially annoyed with the one in firefox atm, but if I can add something to a config file somewhere to make them universally bigger, that would be fine | 21:43 |
