=== greeter is now known as that [06:05] running 13.04 raring. compile sublime text 2 and runs well [06:05] launched in terminal by simply typing: sublime [06:05] However, I would like to create some sort of launcher for it. [06:05] all of the examples online are geared toward Unity. [06:06] Copy /usr/share/applications/somefile.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/sublime.desktop and edit accordingly. [06:10] Unit193: when I ls in /usr/share/applications there is no sublime.desktop file present [06:10] do you have it installed? [06:11] ianorlin: yes, in terminal, i type: sublime and it starts. but this is rather kludgy [06:11] as I have to leave the terminal window open. [06:11] kludge [06:15] 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] Unit193: so essentially I'm using one as a template and configuring [06:16] Exactly. [06:16] it to the new sublime.desktop [06:16] ok i see [06:18] Unit193: is it odd that I don't have any .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications? [06:18] Not really. [06:19] just wondering all of the .desktop files are in /usr/share/applications... [06:19] That's where system installed ones go, user or modified ones go in .local, which also override global. [06:19] gotcha [06:23] Unit193: opened .desktop file in gedit. just pathed to /opt/ [06:23] and noticed sublime text folder is named with spaces [06:24] so in Exec=/path/to/folder/ do I need to use double quotes? [06:26] Unit193: in /opt the folder for sublime text is "Sublime Text 2" [06:27] I don't remember, strangely enough I think not, but may be wrong. [06:28] http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html ah, there we go then. [06:29] Unit193: quoted it is [06:55] Unit193: thanks a ton! can launch sublime text 2 perfectly [06:55] only having issues with the icon. [06:55] Sure thing! [06:57] Unit193: so in Icon= for sublime.desktop, am I pathing to were the Icon is --> full path? [06:58] If it's outside of the normal locations, yep.\ [06:59] Unit193: well Exec="/opt/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text" %U [07:00] it doesn't inherit from Exec=? [07:01] I'll try full path. [07:02] brb [07:05] Unit193: hmmm. still no icon. can I paste bin my sublime.desktop? [07:06] wh0_d4T: Sure, what format are you using? [07:07] Unit193: what do you mean what format? [07:08] Image format, png, svg, etc. [07:08] oh. png [07:08] I also noticed that sublime has their png files in an Icon folder [07:09] would this matter since in vim it lit up green like Icon= [07:11] http://pastebin.com/gZPmV8t1 [07:13] Unit193: i think my pathing to the png is wrong. [07:16] try file "/opt/Sublime Text 2/Icon/16x16/sublime_text.png" might want to put it under "Games" too. [07:17] Unit193: do I need to reboot to see changes? [07:18] Shouldn't need to, no. And the category is "Game", not "Games", my bad. [07:21] Unit193: what do you mean by try file? [07:22] `file` is a command. [07:22] oh [07:23] Unit193: just gives info on png [07:27] Unit193: thanks for your help. I'll give it a rest for now [07:27] Unit193: the main thing is that it launches. I can pretty it later. :) [07:27] wh0_d4T: Sure, done that before. [08:21] lubuntu 13.10 install from usb asks for lubuntu username and password. what is that? === map is now known as Guest27680 [12:07] Hi , What could be something intresting in lubuuntu [12:28] where can i find lubuntu restricted-extras for version 10.04 (running on amd geode nx 1750) [12:39] I just set it up and login but get blackandwhitedot screen - kde/gnome/display manager issue? [12:40] anyone use xrdp to rdp into lubuntu? [13:29] Hi, does anyone know which sound driver should be loaded for the Creative AWE 64 ISA soundcard? [13:49] running lubuntu 10.04 on amd geode (non-PAE) and am looking for lubuntu-restricted-extras. Are they around somewhere? [13:56] Is it possilbe to use windows rdp into lubuntu? [13:56] I'm getting the b/w mesh screen. I think this is a display manager issue [14:25] Currently in the process of erasing Windows to replace with Lubuntu === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash === Firartix is now known as Fira [16:56] Is there a way to use windows rdp client to remote into lubuntu? [16:56] I can't get xrdp to work [16:56] with xrdp, after login I get b/w mesh (display manager issue)? [16:57] abradley: dont know if this will help http://askubuntu.com/questions/91657/blank-desktop-when-logging-in-via-xrdp [17:22] abradley: did that help? [17:22] nah. I was hoping someone here would have some personal experience [17:22] I guess everyone uses vnc [17:23] for a local network it makes sense [17:23] and xrdp has its quirks, e.g. that it's really only meant to start a session, nto continue an old one [17:24] (there's ways around this but ultimately they require vnc) [17:24] sorry abradley [17:26] np, thanks for both of your input [17:27] could you use a different rdp client? [17:32] rdesktop and remina both work fine in my experience [17:32] rdesktop works for me as well to get onto the remote network i use [17:50] Ok Windows is gone and Lubuntu successfully installed! [17:54] congrats [17:55] congrats from me too [17:56] is there a right or wrong place to mount nfs shares? [17:56] should it always be done under home/user? [17:56] home/user/mnt [17:56] ? [17:56] not sure, sorry [17:58] wxl zleap thanks [18:00] abradley: there's no right or wrong place, no, but i'd stay away from places like /media and /cdrom for example :) [18:00] 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] like /mnt? [18:01] is /mnt meant for mounts? [18:01] yeah [18:01] ok, thanks [18:01] thanks a lot [18:01] np [18:02] abradley: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/12/20/explanation-of-the-ubuntu-linux-file-structure-ubuntu-all-versions/ [18:03] oh even better: [18:03] !files | abradley [18:03] abradley: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [18:44] I've been trying to use autofs to mount an nfs share for two hours [18:45] to no avail [19:00] i use autofs but not for nfs [19:00] sshfs in fact [19:00] it's quite lovely :) [19:02] abradley: you saw this, i'm assuming? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs#EXAMPLE:_Auto-mounting_an_NFS_share [19:03] just use /media instead of /nfs in /etc/auto.master [19:03] otherwise you need to create /nfs [19:04] well i guess you wouldn't need to [19:04] that's right; i forget that autofs will create it [19:08] wxl, yes, that's what I'm using [19:08] ....to no avail [19:08] what results are you having? [19:08] I'm having some sort of permissions issue [19:09] paste coming [19:09] k [19:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6325744/ [19:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6325746/ [19:11] I've manually created /mnt/nfs/vol1 [19:12] when running autofs hides /mnt/nfs/vol1 [19:12] yeah don't create it [19:12] it will do it for you [19:12] or should [19:12] maybe it mounted it somewhere else? [19:12] I'll check [19:14] cannot find mounted anywhere [19:14] so mount doesn't return anything? [19:15] http://i.imgur.com/bZ4Ba9O.png [19:16] cuz you SHOULD see something like freenas2.rxbenefits.local:/mnt/vol1 on /mnt/nfs/vol1 type nfs or something of the sort [19:16] http://i.imgur.com/r8FE3vk.png [19:16] do you see the same effects if you actually ls the directory? [19:17] interesting [19:17] btw you can do cool things like /exec -o cat /etc/autofs.master | pastebinit to reduce copying and pasting :) [19:18] assuming you have pastbinit installed (which you should!) [19:18] http://i.imgur.com/BVj61rt.png [19:18] doesn't show in gui, shows in CLI [19:18] good call [19:18] right so maybe pcmanfm doesn't refresh [19:18] which is new on me [19:18] i thought it did [19:18] shoot, ticket. bbiam [19:19] k [19:28] ok, pcmanfm is what I need to look into [19:28] should I just grab a different fm? [19:29] well like i was saying, it might be a bug [19:29] perhaps specific to autofs [19:29] go to your home directory in terminal and pcmanfm and make a new file (touch filename) and see if it pops up [19:29] i believe it should [19:30] i would myself but i'm not in front of the lubuntu machine at work [19:30] yes [19:30] should I just create this mnt in my home folder? is that my problem? [19:30] in the user's home folder [19:31] no, what i'm thinking is that pcmanfm wasn't build with autofs integration in mind and that may be the issue [19:31] i would make a bug report and it'll get fixed in the future [19:31] !bugs | abradley [19:31] abradley: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [19:31] forgive the dumb question, but F5 isn't the same "refresh" as your talking about is it? [19:31] well yeah that will work [19:31] I mean, with autofs running, F5 doesn't make vol1 pop up [19:31] yeah that's a bug for sure [19:32] anywho off to lunch [19:32] so then this is def a pcmanfm issue? [19:32] thanks a lot for hte tup [19:32] yep, i'd say so [19:32] the info [19:32] making a bug for something that's not a pcmanfm issue is not bad, it'll just get reassigned [19:32] either way, reporting the bug will make the fix happen one way or another [19:34] I thought control r was refresh for pcmanfm [19:45] I'm not sure that this is a fm issue [19:45] ... [19:45] check this out: http://i.imgur.com/iJw7GNs.png [19:46] after startup, /mnt/nfs/vol1 is gone [19:46] starting autofs cannot create it [19:46] it was there at reboot [19:48] /mnt and /mnt/nfs both owned by root [20:26] 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] autofs takes control of the folder specified in /etc/auto.master [20:38] 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] no matter if you're root or not [20:41] the problem is that autofs deletes /mnt/nfs/vol1 at reboot [20:42] because upon restart, /mnt/nfs/vol1 is gone [20:43] well, I'm not sure autofs deletes it, but it something deletes it because it's gone upon reboot. I suspect autofs [20:47] Is autofs supposed to delete a preexisting file? [20:48] /directory [20:51] it should delete it when it's not on [20:51] but assuming autofs starts at boot, you shouldn't have an issue [20:55] abradley: do you have /etc/init/autofs.conf? [20:55] if you don't that's probably the issue [20:55] you should check to see if autofs is running when you reboot [20:58] its there [20:58] autofs runs at startup, yes [20:58] and yet it seems to be misbehaving [20:58] odd [20:59] I haven't poked through autofs.conf. I'll do that in the morning. THanks for all your help. [20:59] you can also check your logs [20:59] sudo grep -ri autofs /var/log [20:59] um [20:59] sudo grep -ri autofs /var/log | less [21:41] Hello! [21:42] may I ask a tech question? how do i go about making all scroll bars universally wider? [21:43] 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 === SonikkuAmerica is now known as S- === S- is now known as S-USA === S-USA is now known as SonikkuAmerica
