joaojottaWOW!00:18
joaojottaI think I got it!00:18
joaojottaFrom a Fedora Gnome forum, actually!00:19
joaojottasudo nano /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme00:19
joaojottaThen change the name of the theme because, apparently, XFCE gets confused.00:20
eikon81gbluesabre, you available by chance?04:09
Unit193No he's married.04:09
eikon81gman, there goes my plans!04:09
eikon81gsmh..04:09
* eikon81g walks away sad04:09
eikon81gUnit can I bug you for a sec?04:09
eikon81gIt's a noob question about a file I have in "/ "04:10
eikon81gI put it there using a command and it is owned by root and I have been trying to use chown and I keep getting no such file or directory04:11
eikon81gand I'm sure it's syntax but I don't understand what I am doing wrong..04:11
Ullarahsudo chown filehere04:11
UllarahOr sudo chown username: filehere04:11
eikon81gsudo chown eikon81g /Disney_Epic_Mickey_2_-_The_Power_of_Two_[SERF4Q\].wbfs04:12
eikon81gok let me change that04:12
Ullarah > wbfs :P04:12
UllarahI know what that is, you naughty minx.04:12
UllarahAnyway.04:12
eikon81gI keep getting no such file or directory..04:12
eikon81gLOL Ullarah since you know what I am doing you are on the naughty list TOO04:12
eikon81g:)04:12
Ullarah:P04:13
Ullarahsudo chown eikon81g:04:13
UllarahOr literally go into the root user and mv the file elsewhere04:13
eikon81gbut it's weird because I am in the dir and I used ls to type the file name character for character04:13
eikon81git's case sensitive right?04:13
eikon81gAHh genius. Whatever they are paying you I will pay double. LOL (just kidding, but seriously.) LOL04:14
Ullaraheikon81g, try: sudo chown -v eikon81g: /*.wbfs04:14
eikon81gok let me try04:14
eikon81gfreakin wizard.. I hate to love ya!04:15
eikon81glol04:15
UllarahIt worked?04:15
eikon81gyes sir.04:15
UllarahGood stuff! :)04:16
* eikon81g buys Ullarah a beer04:16
UllarahNow don't move stuff in / again! :P04:16
eikon81gIt was another syntax fail!!04:16
Unit193Well, I'm back now, not that it helps.04:16
eikon81glol I was using WIT (Wiiiso stuff) and boom04:16
eikon81gthere ya go. another bit of magic if you will04:16
eikon81gThanks Unit193 Ullarah rescued :)04:17
UllarahI think there is a cp/mv tester you can run if you are unsure about your syntax.04:17
UllarahBut I could be wrong.04:17
eikon81gcp/mv tester?04:18
UllarahAs in it'll show you where it's going to copy/move from and copy/move to, without actually doing it.04:18
eikon81git's odd, the terminal said the permission and group changed but the file is still owned by root:root... :\ my celebrtion was in vain!04:18
eikon81gok I will check on that, I need it.. LOL04:18
eikon81gI am learning bit by bit04:19
UllarahThere was a program called 'ecp', last time I used that was about 10 years ago :P04:19
eikon81goh man, I would have been 18.. the good ole days..04:19
eikon81gthat's when I should have been doing this! smh. It was even harder back then, things have gotten MUCH more user friendly since I last tried to dive in04:20
Ullaraheikon81g, if you want to do more testing, try, http://www.tutorialspoint.com/execute_bash_online.php04:20
UllarahPlenty of other tools too, http://www.tutorialspoint.com/codingground.htm04:21
eikon81groger that I am book marking now..04:22
eikon81gI think I am going to try your nifty wizard trick and log in as root and dump them that way brb04:22

GeekDudeXubuntu does remove the ubuntu spyware, right?15:24
GeekDudeI don't see how it wouldn't, seeing as it doesn't even have the unity search, but there's no harm in asking15:25
GridCubeGeekDude: ubuntu doesnt have spyware, and xubuntu doesnt use unity so there are no lenses, thats what you might be asking15:37
GridCubedont spread ignorance GeekDude15:37
GeekDudeI've read that they collect your file search queries and use them in conjunction with amazon to display targeted ADs15:37
GridCubeyou need to read more15:37
GeekDudeAre you saying that I've been misinformed?15:38
GeekDudeI've read articles and watched videos with Richard Stallman talking about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP8CNp-vksc15:39
GeekDudeI figured that Stallman was a reliable source of information, but if I'm wrong in that I apologize for my ingorance15:42
GeekDudeignorance*15:42
=== Orioa is now known as OrioaZzZ
hggdhGeekDude: RMS exaggerated quite a bit15:46
GeekDudeI'm not sure what could be considered hyperbolic about that statement, it seems pretty binary to me. Either they collect information and share it with amazon, or they don't15:47
hggdhGeekDude: this discussion, I am afraid, will be off-topic here (it will depend on meaning of words and concepts, approaching, quite fast, religious hermeneutics)15:50

phre4kif I de-tick the setting "lock screen on screensaver" in light locker settings, it still locks the screen. Why is that? Could that be because I have winbind auth?16:45
