[07:06] <xubuntu302> Hi All, I need a little advise on sharing HDD using 14.04, A tiny bit of background, I have for many years had a W2K machine with 2 x 1 TiB drives, which I shared to the rest of the local network, I now have a HDD stacker that has 4 x 3TiB drives, which W2K can not see or deal with, I have been running Xubuntu 12.04 (And now X14.04) on my laptop (Which is just the best thing ever), so I have tried to shift me "sever" from W2K to 
[07:07] <xubuntu302> So sorry the question...
[07:07] <xubuntu302> I can not work out how to share the USB HDD's from 14.04 to other machines, folders with Samba OK.
[07:08] <xubuntu302> But entire HDD's (USB) , no idea... Have I gone down the wrong path ?
[07:08] <xubuntu302> Should I be using Ubuntu server ?
[07:08] <AgAu> did you add them to your fstab?
[07:08] <xubuntu302> Or have I missed something ?
[07:08] <xubuntu302> Fstab ?
[07:09] <xubuntu302> In conjunction with Samba ?
[07:09] <AgAu> well
[07:09] <AgAu> i had permission problems with samba shares until i added the hard drives to the fstab file
[07:09] <AgAu> what is your exact problem?
[07:10] <xubuntu302> Yes, sort of, I can share folders OK, But HDD, when 'right_clicked' do not allow me to set the sharing they are greyed out..
[07:12] <AgAu> did you check the permissions on them?
[07:12] <xubuntu302> OK, I'll try that, Should Xubuntu 14.04 allow me to share entire  HDDs to other network users ? or am I on the wrong platform ?
[07:13] <xubuntu302> Have you had this working ?
[07:13] <xubuntu302> Sharing HDD's that is ?
[07:13] <AgAu> im sharing my two storage drives with my windows network now
[07:13] <xubuntu302> With Xubuntu /
[07:13] <xubuntu302> ?
[07:13] <AgAu> yes
[07:13] <AgAu> as long as you have the folder permissions setup correctly and shared
[07:13] <AgAu> it should work
[07:14] <xubuntu302> OK, Great, I'm doing something wrong...  I have tied to follow the guides on_line, but they always fail me, I will try Fstab....
[07:14] <AgAu> well
[07:14] <AgAu> the hard drives need to be mounted
[07:15] <xubuntu302> Yes, They all mount OK, premissions set, I can see the shares in Windows, but no access.
[07:15] <AgAu> yeh but where are they mounted
[07:15] <AgAu> if you can't access them then the permissions aren't correct
[07:16] <xubuntu302> Sorry, I'm still new this, In Xubunu I they come up on the left, with an eject button, I can access them locally.
[07:16] <AgAu> go to your media folder
[07:16] <AgAu>  /media
[07:16] <xubuntu302> OK
[07:17] <xubuntu302> I have my Xubuntu user name as a folder
[07:17] <AgAu> yeh
[07:17] <AgAu> open that
[07:17] <AgAu> are your hard drives in that folder
[07:18] <xubuntu302> Yes when they are plugged in.
[07:18] <AgAu> yeh that's why you have the permission problem
[07:18] <xubuntu302> OK, They should not show here ?
[07:19] <AgAu> well they aren't auto mounting on startup are they?
[07:20] <AgAu> the fstab folder is used to automount hard drives on boot
[07:20] <AgAu> you should ideally create new folders for each drive under /media
[07:20] <AgAu> fstab file*
[07:21] <xubuntu302> I think I did that, but the folder did not seem to relate to the actual HDD, will Fstab sort that ?
[07:21] <AgAu> okay for example
[07:22] <AgAu> i have my Storage drive setup to mount /media/Storage
[07:22] <AgAu> that /media/Storage folder needs to your user as the owner
[07:22] <xubuntu302> OK
[07:22] <AgAu> for windows to access it
[07:23] <xubuntu302> Local Xubuntu user name or Windows ?
[07:23] <AgAu> xubuntu
[07:23] <xubuntu302> OK
[07:23] <xubuntu302>  And Fstab allows me to set the mount path ?
[07:23] <AgAu> yes
[07:23] <AgAu> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fstab
[07:24] <AgAu> that is a good article on setting up your hard drives in fstab
[07:24] <xubuntu302> I will try that, Hey, Thanks for the help mate, very good. I was hoping to stay with Xubuntu it is great, Cheers and thanks scott.
[07:24] <AgAu> well good luck
[07:34] <zmisc> I used to use Debian and followed testing or unstable but that's become too tedious so I found Xubuntu was the perfect fit.
[07:35] <AgAu> yeh its pretty sxc
[07:37] <zmisc> except I enjoyed doing a base install and installing xfce and only what I wanted installed. someone recommended arch but I wouldn't recommend that for anything production wise
[07:40] <AgAu> i tried arch before xubuntu
[07:44] <AgAu> I went with xubuntu because i was looking for a good solid/stable distro to replace windows
[07:46] <zmisc> I use Debian/FreeBSD on servers.
[07:50] <AgAu> i think i tried debian once many many years ago
[07:54] <zmisc> its quite similar to xubuntu. just not as polished.
[14:07] <xubuntu226> Hi all, OK, thanks for the great work on xubuntu 14.04... Nice... Very good.., But I have to pass as, I have for three weeks tried to share USB HDDs from X14.04 onto win networks... Impossible... Maybe I am stupid, but I give up, shame...

[17:23] <etwarrior> Is there a way to get Xubuntu to detect my default microphone?
[17:23] <cfhowlett> etwarrior, it should do so automagically
[17:24] <cfhowlett> !sound | etwarrior
[17:25] <etwarrior> My sound applet appears to be missing in the bar...
[17:26] <holstein> etwarrior: try running it, manually, or re-adding the sound applet, or see if its "missing" in the guest user.. i like to add "pavucontrol" and use that to control my audio
[17:26] <holstein> i will run "aplay -l" and "arecord -l" in a terminal, to make sure my audio device is loading in linux
[17:26] <holstein> if you dont see it there, you *wont* get audio..
[17:27] <holstein> its helpful to know if sound *ever* worked in any linux, or in that xubuntu installation, or if it recently broke, or stopped working after an update
[17:37] <etwarrior> Is there a way to reset the system UI?
[17:38] <cfhowlett> etwarrior, clarify; you mean the desktop environment?
[17:41] <holstein> etwarrior: i'll rename ~/.config and let the system UI configs be reset
[17:42] <drc> rename ~/.config, log out and back in...The desktop should be reset to the default.
[17:43] <drc> oh, holstein beat me too it :)
[17:43] <cfhowlett> the ui and all apps will reset to factory fresh ...
[17:46] <rayq> why not just rename ~.config/xfce4/ ... that way apps aren't affected
[17:47] <holstein> rayq: it wasnt specified what precisely needs reset..
[17:47] <rayq> ahh...
[17:52] <rayq> could also:  ps -A | grep indicator to see if indicator-sound is even running
[18:08] <schreibmaschine> hello guys i have a problem with the whisker menu is it possible to rest it?
[18:09] <schreibmaschine> can someone tell my why i am still affected by this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1310264
[18:48] <etwarrior> Guys I've figured out one of my problems...
[18:48] <etwarrior> concerning Thunar... apparently the "default" file browsing system is LIKE Thunar, but it's not actually thunar... I only get Thunar when I insert my USB drive.
[20:52] <ET_Warrior> somebody is using my name apparently...
[20:52] <ET_Warrior> etwarrior
[20:52] <ET_Warrior> WAIT A MINUTE
[20:52] <ET_Warrior> That's me!
[20:52] <ET_Warrior> Duhhh
[20:52] <ET_Warrior> Haha.
[20:52] <etwarrior> Wow.

[21:09] <detre> https://etherpad.mozilla.org/oL7t412TBm
[21:09] <detre> thats the message
[21:16] <detre> hell?
[21:16] <detre> hello?
[21:16] <baizon> hello detre
[21:17] <detre> baizon: are you good at solving xserver probems?
[21:17] <baizon> detre: it depends
[21:17] <baizon> how big the problem is
[21:17] <detre> hi, problem with my xubuntu 14.10 64 bits and xserver. Im no longer using propietary drivers for my nvidia card
[21:17] <detre> https://etherpad.mozilla.org/oL7t412TBm
[21:22] <baizon> detre: Review your "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" file to find out what outputs is
[21:22] <baizon>  detecting Xorg. You can also run "xrandr -q" to discover what dis
[21:22] <baizon> connected.
[21:22] <detre> whaat dis <<?
[21:22] <baizon> detre: it seems your xorg configuration is a little bit broken
[21:24] <detre> baizon: heh, 400 lines, cannot copy that
[21:24] <baizon> detre: you have paste.ubuntu.com for that
[21:24] <detre> baizon: the laptop doesnt have a working internet connection
[21:26] <detre> https://etherpad.mozilla.org/oL7t412TBm
[21:27] <baizon> detre: yes your xorg config is broken
[21:27] <baizon> or does your display only support 640x480?
[21:29] <baizon> detre: else reconfigure your xorg with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:30] <detre> baizon: if by display you mean screen, yes, its a big screen
[21:30] <detre> 1024 860
[21:31] <baizon> detre: yes then your configuration is broken, try to restore running the above command
[21:36] <detre> i run the command
[21:36] <detre> now what?
[21:37] <baizon> detre: restart and check if the xrandr -q output has changed
[21:47] <detre> baizon: xrand -q output is the same
[21:49] <baizon> detre: try then this http://askubuntu.com/questions/449951/how-to-fix-ubuntu-load-screen-after-install-nvidia-driver-331-38/527743#527743
[21:58] <detre> ok baizon , how do I exit ctrl+alt+f1?
[21:58] <baizon> detre: reboot would be the best
[21:59] <detre> baizon: rebooting
[22:02] <detre> no changes
[22:02] <detre> as fucked as always, ill try the second option now
[22:06] <detre> rebooting now
[22:09] <ninjazach> You want to go from a virtual console back to an X session?
[22:09] <detre> baizon: screen resolution is now normal, it fits the screen
[22:09] <detre> but i still get the message
[22:10] <detre> this message: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/oL7t412TBm

[22:25] <detre> brainwash: what do I have to write in the terminal? !xorgconf | <<?
[22:26] <brainwash> detre: well, you run "man xorg.conf" and start reading
[22:27] <brainwash> what are you trying to solve? and which graphics card + driver do you use?
[22:27] <detre> brainwash: trying to get rid of that annoying messeage I get every time I log in
[22:27] <detre> this one https://etherpad.mozilla.org/oL7t412TBm
[22:28] <baizon> detre: you have to do some sweeping
[22:28] <brainwash> why does /home/dexter/.xprofile exist?
[22:29] <detre> baizon: because I manually created it, as I was trying another solutoin
[22:29] <detre> getting rid of it as of now
[22:30] <baizon> detre: dont forget to make a backup of .xprofile
[22:30] <detre> baizon: crap
[22:30] <detre> always forget to backup
[22:30] <baizon> :)
[22:33] <detre> ok solved
[22:34] <detre> thanks
[22:34] <baizon> np
[22:35] <detre> are you in the mood to try to solve my wireless problem? somebody in this room told me to create a live usb stick with a fresh installation of an OS, thing is, I dont find my usb stick anywhere
[22:35] <detre> ethernet connections work fine, no wireless connections are displayed as recognized
[22:35] <detre> what command do I use to know my xorgserver version?
[22:37] <baizon> detre: X --version
[22:38] <baizon> detre: or apt-cache showpkg xserver-xorg-video-all
[22:39] <detre> baizon: unrecognized option: --version
[22:39] <baizon> detre: try to activate additional drivers http://www.dedoimedo.com/images/computers_years/2013_1/xubuntu-ringtail-additional-drivers-installing.jpg
[22:39] <baizon> detre: sorry X -version
[22:39] <detre> baizon: I got rid of all nvidia drivers
[22:39] <detre> that fixed the problem
[22:40] <baizon> detre: i mean for the wifi problem
[22:40] <detre> a...
[22:40] <detre> graphic drivers are related to my wireless problem?
[22:41] <baizon> no
[22:41] <baizon> but check which wifi driver is activated
[22:44] <detre> baizon: only drivers for the graphic cards are displayed
[22:44] <detre> and none of them are in use
[22:44] <baizon> ok
[22:45] <brainwash> !wifi
[22:45] <baizon> sorry, but I'm out. Sleeping time for me. Bye and good luck
[22:45] <Unit193> baizon: G'night.
[22:45] <brainwash> please read this wiki article ^
