| Sunstream | I still wonder how this happened all of a sudden font reader crash so I restarted it now all my darned icons are small | 02:57 |
|---|---|---|
| Sunstream | How do I restore them? | 02:57 |
| holstein | Sunstream: i still think, renaming ~/.confg is a great place to start | 02:58 |
| Sunstream | really?! | 02:58 |
| Sunstream | isnt there a menu item ? | 02:58 |
| holstein | Sunstream: i'll try as a different user, or the guest user, and see if its a system-wide issue, or just with my user | 02:58 |
| Sunstream | let me try guest | 02:58 |
| holstein | then, i'll just rename the config files.. | 02:59 |
| Sunstream | how does this happen after the font reader crashes? | 02:59 |
| holstein | Sunstream: i dont know, friend. i dont use any font readers like that | 02:59 |
| holstein | Sunstream: i just deal with isolating the issue, from either inside my user, or system-wide, and address it | 03:00 |
| Sunstream | User I am going to log out and back in | 03:03 |
| Sunstream | isnt there a less drastic means other than killing the .config? | 03:03 |
| holstein | Sunstream: sure | 03:03 |
| holstein | Sunstream: see who did what, and undo it.. if you added a ppa or whatever | 03:04 |
| holstein | plus, i never said "kill" or "delete" | 03:04 |
| Sunstream | I did not even know I was using a font reader | 03:04 |
| holstein | nothing i mention is permanent | 03:04 |
| holstein | you rename, and test.. you can put back what you like, or revert | 03:04 |
| Sunstream | renaming is killing it (making it create a new file is the same) | 03:04 |
| Sunstream | Logging first | 03:04 |
| holstein | Sunstream: renaming is *not* killing it, friend | 03:05 |
| Unit193 | Well, technically it is, but then you can "unkill" it too. :P | 03:06 |
| holstein | yeah.. its not deleting anything, thats for sure | 03:06 |
| Sunstream | Figured it out.. It was under "View" in a folder, once I saw normal size I though hmm maybe like a browzer. I fixed it | 03:10 |
| holstein | lol.. congrats! | 03:10 |
| Sunstream | Ya. Such silly features | 03:11 |
| Sunstream | huh? | 03:11 |
| holstein | Sunstream: congrats = congratulations | 03:11 |
| Sunstream | i no | 03:12 |
| Sunstream | no = know | 03:12 |
| holstein | you mean, "know"? | 03:12 |
| Sunstream | lol | 03:12 |
| holstein | ok :) | 03:12 |
| Sunstream | Anyways another question | 03:12 |
| Sunstream | I want to network my HDD and SSD | 03:12 |
| Sunstream | File sharing on Linux is new to me | 03:13 |
| holstein | "network" 2 hard drives? | 03:13 |
| holstein | how? | 03:13 |
| Sunstream | Yeah file sharing as the window people call | 03:13 |
| Sunstream | it is where you allow networked devices to access the files | 03:13 |
| holstein | Sunstream: the 2 hard drives *location* is important | 03:13 |
| Sunstream | like making my own cloud | 03:13 |
| holstein | if they are on the same machine, you dont need to "network" them | 03:13 |
| Sunstream | well | 03:14 |
| holstein | if they are on 2 different computers, then, you need them connected to *some* network, and elaborate about what you want them to do, and what os's they are running | 03:14 |
| Sunstream | let me add on I want both to be accessable to the network (persay a private NAS Cloud) | 03:14 |
| Sunstream | You are going to make me work on this | 03:14 |
| Sunstream | Okay | 03:14 |
| holstein | ? | 03:15 |
| holstein | i mean, you only mention 2 hard drives | 03:15 |
| Sunstream | I want to share my files on this desktop to my Tablet/smartphones | 03:15 |
| Sunstream | The hhds are on the laptop.... | 03:15 |
| holstein | so, you can setup a server on the machine.. and you'll have to decide what you want as a client on the smartphones | 03:15 |
| Sunstream | that sounds too complicated | 03:15 |
| Sunstream | I am going to cheat | 03:15 |
| holstein | Sunstream: you actually wont | 03:16 |
| Sunstream | I am going to attempt to /dcc send my files | 03:16 |
| holstein | the server will be setup... you can do whatever you like | 03:16 |
| holstein | you *can* dcc.. one end is the server. the other the client.. but, *that* is too difficult | 03:16 |
| holstein | ftp servers and clients are usually pretty easy to setup, and work across all OS's.. as long as you are behind your firewall, that would work | 03:17 |
| holstein | !samba | 03:17 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html | 03:17 |
| holstein | i say, ,just setup something like dropbox, and let it sync them.. | 03:19 |
| holstein | there are clients for most devices/os's | 03:19 |
| Sunstream | I just said that | 03:19 |
| Sunstream | "onedrive" | 03:20 |
| holstein | Sunstream: dropbox has "good" support for all the os's you mention | 03:21 |
| holstein | onedrive doesnt | 03:21 |
| Sunstream | onedrive via browser will not work? | 03:21 |
| holstein | but, you dont need either.. | 03:21 |
| holstein | Sunstream: onedrive, via "browser" doenst have anything to do with the 2 hard drives you mentioned wanting to share | 03:22 |
| Sunstream | Well | 03:22 |
| Sunstream | I just want to transfer 4 files | 03:22 |
| Sunstream | sharing would of been easier but | 03:22 |
| holstein | you can email themm to yourself.. use a USB stick.. ssh.. ftp. .samba.. bittorrentsync.. etc | 03:23 |
| Sunstream | small prob with the usb stick | 03:23 |
| Sunstream | cannot attach them to a tablet or smartphone without a cable that allows you to connect to the micro/mini usb port | 03:24 |
| holstein | Sunstream: thats why there is a list above.. if one doenst work for you, you have *many* other options | 03:24 |
| holstein | Sunstream: you *can* hook the phone/tablet via USB to the computer.. or, setup a server on them.. ftp | 03:24 |
| holstein | Sunstream: you just have to pick a path, and do it.. | 03:25 |
| Sunstream | I just tried to hook my tablet up that way no go | 03:25 |
| Sunstream | Windows 8 is wierd | 03:25 |
| Sunstream | but I can my phone | 03:25 |
| holstein | if windows 8 wont mount it, load a live CD, and mount it in linux | 03:25 |
| holstein | you literaly just have to stop stopping, and make it happen | 03:26 |
| holstein | or, just install something like dropbox everywhere.. | 03:26 |
| Sunstream | Now holstein | 03:26 |
| Sunstream | again | 03:26 |
| holstein | Sunstream: now what? | 03:26 |
| Sunstream | tablet... | 03:26 |
| Sunstream | cannot do a liveUSB | 03:26 |
| holstein | Sunstream: ok | 03:26 |
| Sunstream | I am just going to email it to myself there done. | 03:26 |
| holstein | Sunstream: i never said it would.. | 03:26 |
| holstein | though.. it can.. | 03:26 |
| Sunstream | kinda seems overboard to tansfer a zip file with 4 tiles in it | 03:27 |
| Sunstream | files | 03:27 |
| holstein | nothing about linux is preventing that.. anyways.. i *know* there is filezilla for win8 | 03:27 |
| Sunstream | Why do you suggest that I do it in such comp;icated mannars (not dropbox) | 03:27 |
| holstein | Sunstream: im just giving options that will work | 03:28 |
| Sunstream | like the recent suggestion | 03:28 |
| Sunstream | Okay answer me this | 03:28 |
| holstein | Sunstream: like filezilla? thats a nice easy way to setup an ftp transfer.. its handy | 03:28 |
| Sunstream | firezilla | 03:28 |
| Sunstream | ... | 03:28 |
| holstein | *file* zilla | 03:28 |
| Sunstream | yeah that is what i ment | 03:28 |
| holstein | for windows8 | 03:29 |
| holstein | i said that becuase you stated having issues with windows 8 and i *know* filezilla works there | 03:29 |
| Sunstream | I am not doing W8->Lin I am doing Lin->W8 | 03:29 |
| holstein | great.. you can go either way with it | 03:30 |
| Sunstream | i have FZ on my system | 03:30 |
| Sunstream | but | 03:30 |
| Unit193 | Wait, what's the question? | 03:31 |
| Sunstream | this is a client | 03:31 |
| holstein | Sunstream: this? | 03:31 |
| holstein | what "this" ? | 03:31 |
| Sunstream | The question my friend is trying to transfer a file to my W8 tablet | 03:31 |
| Sunstream | FZ seems to be a clinet | 03:32 |
| Sunstream | I give up | 03:32 |
| Sunstream | installing dropbox | 03:32 |
| holstein | Sunstream: there is a server portion.. | 03:33 |
| Sunstream | Nevermind I am going to use dropbox | 03:33 |
| holstein | sure.. enjoy! | 03:33 |
| Sunstream | since I do not have any other simple means. Because if I was using windows I could easily share but linux is a different BEAST | 03:35 |
| holstein | s? | 03:35 |
| holstein | !samba | 03:35 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html | 03:35 |
| holstein | Sunstream: i mean, you can share with samba easily that way as well | 03:35 |
| holstein | you can use gigolo to connect to a windows share.. or many other ways | 03:36 |
| Sunstream | okay | 03:36 |
| Sunstream | I do not do this often enough to warrant a perm share | 03:37 |
| holstein | sure.. sounds great | 03:37 |
| Sunstream | so dropbox | 03:37 |
| holstein | well, that *is* a permenent deal.. | 03:37 |
| Sunstream | not what I am transferring | 03:38 |
| Sunstream | Roms | 03:38 |
| Sunstream | for snes | 03:38 |
| holstein | Sunstream: the roms dont matter | 03:38 |
| Sunstream | It does if the creators whine about copyright | 03:38 |
| Sunstream | I bought these games in the past | 03:38 |
| holstein | sure.. its just moving the data im addressing. | 03:39 |
| holstein | the data doesnt matter | 03:39 |
| Sunstream | ... fine | 03:40 |
| Sunstream | but it is password encryped | 03:40 |
| holstein | sure.. do what you like with the data.. im just talking about moving it | 03:41 |
| Sunstream | I know. | 03:41 |
| holstein | and, addressing how, you stated, since it was just a one time thing, and you didnt want anyting permanent, you would just use dropbox.. but, dropbox *is* a permanent thing, as well | 03:41 |
| Sunstream | even if I delete it | 03:41 |
| holstein | and, has syncing, across other machines.. if thats what you want.. | 03:41 |
| Sunstream | after getting it | 03:41 |
| holstein | i dont suggest setting up dropbox unless you want dropbox | 03:42 |
| holstein | no need to install it, move, sync, delete, uninstall. when, you can just share via ftp, or samba | 03:42 |
| Sunstream | now | 03:43 |
| Sunstream | I know what DB is | 03:43 |
| Sunstream | it is like Onedrive | 03:43 |
| holstein | similar, but, there is no desktop linux client for onedrive.. | 03:43 |
| Sunstream | I hmmm | 03:49 |
| Sunstream | Sigh | 03:49 |
| Sunstream | got it | 03:49 |
| Sunstream | done | 03:49 |
| Sunstream | should of just cloud transfer | 03:50 |
| holstein | we were discussing "cloud" transfers | 03:51 |
| Sunstream | I have 13.28TBof cloud space | 03:53 |
| holstein | congrats! | 03:55 |
| Sunstream | correction 10.16 TB in cloud space, 2TB HHDs 240GB SSD for a total of 12.196TB of space. | 03:56 |
| Sunstream | It will take a very long time to fill that up lol | 03:57 |
| Sunstream | I want a NAS so I can share between every device | 03:57 |
| Sunstream | I have a 32, 8, 16, and 64GB microSDs and a 2gb, 16gb and 8gb of USB Sticks | 03:58 |
| holstein | NAS = network attached storage.. fire up a server on your network, and "attach" to it, and enjoy | 03:59 |
| Sunstream | NAS is supposed to be simple to set up | 04:01 |
| holstein | Sunstream: no.. the "s" is for "storage" , *not* "simple".. and "simple" is a matter of opinion, and familiarity | 04:02 |
| Sunstream | -_- | 04:02 |
| Sunstream | quit picking on the young linux guy :D | 04:02 |
| holstein | http://www.freenas.org/ is quite easy.. though, not linux based | 04:02 |
| Sunstream | Thanks for the help | 04:14 |
