[06:05] <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.
[06:06] <Unit193> Copy /usr/share/applications/somefile.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/sublime.desktop and edit accordingly.
[06:10] <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?
[06:11] <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
[06:15] <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.
[06:16] <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
[06:18] <wh0_d4T> Unit193: is it odd that I don't have any .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications?
[06:18] <Unit193> Not really.
[06:19] <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
[06:23] <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
[06:24] <wh0_d4T> so in Exec=/path/to/folder/ do I need to use double quotes?
[06:26] <wh0_d4T> Unit193: in /opt the folder for sublime text is "Sublime Text 2"
[06:27] <Unit193> I don't remember, strangely enough I think not, but may be wrong.
[06:28] <Unit193> http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html ah, there we go then.
[06:29] <wh0_d4T> Unit193: quoted it is
[06:55] <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!
[06:57] <wh0_d4T> Unit193: so in Icon= for sublime.desktop, am I pathing to were the Icon is --> full path?
[06:58] <Unit193> If it's outside of the normal locations, yep.\
[06:59] <wh0_d4T> Unit193: well Exec="/opt/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text" %U
[07:00] <wh0_d4T> it doesn't inherit from Exec=?
[07:01] <wh0_d4T> I'll try full path.
[07:02] <wh0_d4T> brb
[07:05] <wh0_d4T> Unit193: hmmm. still no icon. can I paste bin my sublime.desktop?
[07:06] <Unit193> wh0_d4T: Sure, what format are you using?
[07:07] <wh0_d4T> Unit193: what do you mean what format?
[07:08] <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
[07:09] <wh0_d4T> would this matter since in vim it lit up green like Icon=
[07:11] <wh0_d4T> http://pastebin.com/gZPmV8t1
[07:13] <wh0_d4T> Unit193: i think my pathing to the png is wrong.
[07:16] <Unit193> try  file "/opt/Sublime Text 2/Icon/16x16/sublime_text.png"  might want to put it under "Games" too.
[07:17] <wh0_d4T> Unit193: do I need to reboot to see changes?
[07:18] <Unit193> Shouldn't need to, no.  And the category is "Game", not "Games", my bad.
[07:21] <wh0_d4T> Unit193: what do you mean by try file?
[07:22] <Unit193> `file` is a command.
[07:22] <wh0_d4T> oh
[07:23] <wh0_d4T> Unit193: just gives info on png
[07:27] <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.
[08:21] <xet7> lubuntu 13.10 install from usb asks for lubuntu username and password. what is that?
[12:07] <Abhinav> Hi , What could be something intresting in lubuuntu
[12:28] <blokkie> where can i find lubuntu restricted-extras for version 10.04 (running on amd geode nx 1750)
[12:39] <abradley> I just set it up and login but get blackandwhitedot screen - kde/gnome/display manager issue?
[12:40] <abradley> anyone use xrdp to rdp into lubuntu?
[13:29] <rtcg72a> Hi, does anyone know which sound driver should be loaded for the Creative AWE 64 ISA soundcard?
[13:49] <pablok> running lubuntu 10.04 on amd geode (non-PAE) and am looking for lubuntu-restricted-extras. Are they around somewhere?
[13:56] <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
[14:25] <DanS_> Currently in the process of erasing Windows to replace with Lubuntu
[16:56] <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)?
[16:57] <DanS_> abradley: dont know if this will help http://askubuntu.com/questions/91657/blank-desktop-when-logging-in-via-xrdp
[17:22] <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
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <wxl> (there's ways around this but ultimately they require vnc)
[17:24] <DanS_> sorry abradley
[17:26] <abradley> np, thanks for both of your input
[17:27] <DanS_> could you use a different rdp client?
[17:32] <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
[17:50] <DanS_> Ok Windows is gone and Lubuntu successfully installed!
[17:54] <wxl> congrats
[17:55] <zleap> congrats from me too
[17:56] <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
[17:58] <DanS_> wxl zleap thanks
[18:00] <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
[18:01] <abradley> like /mnt?
[18:01] <abradley> is /mnt meant for mounts?
[18:01] <wxl> yeah
[18:01] <abradley> ok, thanks
[18:01] <abradley> thanks a lot
[18:01] <wxl> np
[18:02] <wxl> abradley: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/12/20/explanation-of-the-ubuntu-linux-file-structure-ubuntu-all-versions/
[18:03] <wxl> oh even better:
[18:03] <wxl> !files | abradley
[18:44] <abradley> I've been trying to use autofs to mount an nfs share for two hours
[18:45] <abradley> to no avail
[19:00] <wxl> i use autofs but not for nfs
[19:00] <wxl> sshfs in fact
[19:00] <wxl> it's quite lovely :)
[19:02] <wxl> abradley: you saw this, i'm assuming? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs#EXAMPLE:_Auto-mounting_an_NFS_share
[19:03] <wxl> just use /media instead of /nfs in /etc/auto.master
[19:03] <wxl> otherwise you need to create /nfs
[19:04] <wxl> well i guess you wouldn't need to
[19:04] <wxl> that's right; i forget that autofs will create it
[19:08] <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
[19:09] <abradley> paste coming
[19:09] <wxl> k
[19:10] <abradley> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6325744/
[19:11] <abradley> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6325746/
[19:11] <abradley> I've manually created /mnt/nfs/vol1
[19:12] <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
[19:14] <abradley> cannot find mounted anywhere
[19:14] <wxl> so mount doesn't return anything?
[19:15] <abradley> http://i.imgur.com/bZ4Ba9O.png
[19:16] <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?
[19:17] <abradley> interesting
[19:17] <wxl> btw you can do cool things like /exec -o cat /etc/autofs.master | pastebinit to reduce copying and pasting :)
[19:18] <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
[19:19] <wxl> k
[19:28] <abradley> ok, pcmanfm is what I need to look into
[19:28] <abradley> should I just grab a different fm?
[19:29] <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
[19:30] <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
[19:31] <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] <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
[19:32] <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
[19:34] <ianorlin> I thought control r was refresh for pcmanfm
[19:45] <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
[19:46] <abradley> after startup, /mnt/nfs/vol1 is gone
[19:46] <abradley> starting autofs cannot create it
[19:46] <abradley> it was there at reboot
[19:48] <abradley>  /mnt and /mnt/nfs both owned by root
[20:26] <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
[20:37] <wxl> autofs takes control of the folder specified in /etc/auto.master
[20:38] <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
[20:41] <abradley> the problem is that autofs deletes /mnt/nfs/vol1 at reboot
[20:42] <abradley> because upon restart, /mnt/nfs/vol1 is gone
[20:43] <abradley> well, I'm not sure autofs deletes it, but it something deletes it because it's gone upon reboot. I suspect autofs
[20:47] <abradley> Is autofs supposed to delete a preexisting file?
[20:48] <abradley>  /directory
[20:51] <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
[20:55] <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
[20:58] <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
[20:59] <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
[21:41] <mellokin> Hello!
[21:42] <mellokin> may I ask a tech question?  how do i go about making all scroll bars universally wider?
[21:43] <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
