[00:00] pro dedition [00:00] 64 bit OS [00:00] you want my computer name? [00:00] My-Computer [00:00] gambl0re: How about answering the actual questions? [00:01] i just gave yu the cpu [00:01] i3 2.1GHz [00:01] gambl0re: And you still missed the GPU. [00:01] i3 is not the fastest cpu and lacks some extras that are nice to have if you want to run fast vms. 4gb is not much today, 2GB is like the minimum for running a big desktop like unity, gnome or such. no ssd is really a showstopper. [00:02] well i dont have all the money in the world to buy a macbook [00:02] gambl0re: So install a different, more lightweight desktop environment. [00:02] gambl0re, you could check what driver is being used by opeing the updater, then Settings then additional drivers [00:02] I already gave you a sample command. [00:02] gambl0re: you dont need a to buy apple hardware. you just need to meet your demands to your actualy hardware setup. [00:03] Intel graphics family [00:03] is that what you're looking for [00:03] kostkon: He is using a vm, no additiona drivers available. [00:03] bekks, just to make sure that the vb driver is in use [00:03] intel(r) hd graphics family [00:03] gambl0re, not having a ssd is not a showstopper either [00:03] gambl0re, intel hd4k or hd5k most probably? [00:04] Depends on what computer you're using. [00:04] For some computers, an SSD won't really be much of a noticeable difference. [00:04] it doesnt say [00:04] FOr his VM, Unity is the showstopper. [00:04] im using lenovo e420 laptop [00:05] a ssd drive will be noticiable with ANY computer [00:05] but you don't NEED one [00:05] gambl0re, your machine is fine [00:05] gambl0re: so try a more lightweight desktop and see if that helps [00:05] that means i have to start off fresh install? [00:05] gambl0re, it will run ANY version of ANY linux distro flawlessly [00:05] gambl0re: No. [00:06] will all my programs still work? [00:06] and my data? [00:06] gambl0re: I gave you a sample command. [00:06] where [00:06] k1l: Thanks for inputs k1l, let me check if I can upgrade to 3.19.0.21 kernel.. [00:06] im not typing in any command until i know what it does [00:06] gambl0re: read what Iwrote to you. [00:06] i f*cked up my linux once before. i cant do it again [00:06] whats the command [00:07] ?? [00:08] theres a wall of text...i cant look through each line [00:08] gambl0re: 0619 015417 < bekks> gambl0re: Thats why you should install another desktop environment, like: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [00:08] gambl0re: you should read what people write to you, then. [00:08] im not a robot, i make mistakes, i miss lines [00:09] take that into considerationo [00:09] and a lot of people were also throwing me a lot of commands to type in also...

[08:09] err no [08:09] you said "does not have permissions" [08:09] what does that mean [08:09] ok i don't want the user to have permission to create and edit stuff in /a or /b [08:09] or even read stuff for that matter [08:09] so you need to do that at a share level [08:10] ObrienDave, Right click on the indicator applet only gives me "About" and Alt+right click only "Move" and "Remove" [08:10] you just present the share - not the directory structure [08:10] if a user maps to a share they should not be able to go higher in the directory tree than the share [08:10] but samba requires that the user has access to higher in the directory tree [08:10] (afaik) [08:10] no it doesn't [08:10] samba requires the user has access to the share [08:11] if you mount /you/local/filesystem/here on /mnt/tmp on your client, /mnt/tmp will show "here" nothing bellow "here" [08:11] sorry nothing above "here" [08:11] bad wording [08:12] ok.. well it's not working .. and i can't work out why.. if i do su otheruser .. i can do ls -al in /share but i get "Permission Denied" if i do ls -al /a/b [08:12] you can't see /a/b [08:12] that is above the share [08:12] crazyhorse18: so me the REAL example [08:12] what is the mount you have got [08:13] /media/gsav/bigdisk/main [08:13] and where is the shame in that tree [08:13] where are you setting the share point [08:13] and the share point is main [08:13] path = /media/gsav/bigdisk/main [08:14] so if you mount yourserver:/media/gsav/bigdisk/main yourclient:/mnt [08:14] /mnt will only show "main" [08:14] nothing else [08:14] nothing above it [08:14] yeah but when i try and connect, it fails [08:14] it accepts the username / password.. but when i select the share it won't connect [08:14] it seems to be that my apt list will only install security updates: http://i.imgur.com/vakA5ny.png [08:14] thats a different problem [08:15] how can I update my list to that I can install more software? [08:15] so your problem is nothing to do with permissions [08:15] it's to do with your share [08:15] from osx it says "You do not have permission to access the server" [08:15] zack_s_: open the package manager, it updates as you open it [08:15] i don't know why sharing files is so ridiculously complicated [08:15] ikonia: what do you mean open the package manager? [08:15] crazyhorse18: so your share permissions are screwed up - or it's still not on the network [08:15] crazyhorse18: it's very easy [08:15] I use the server variant of ubuntu [08:15] zack_s_: https://help.ubunut.com shows how to use the package manager [08:15] zack_s_: look up the apt-get commands [08:16] if you're not using the gui [08:19] ikonia: I found no command to upgrade the source list, with the offical software repositories [08:19] does I have to input them manually? [08:20] apt-get update [08:21] zack_s_, you can generate a sources.list from this website http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [08:25] zack_s_, for more software (on non GUI ubuntu) you have to enter every repository with sudo add-apt-repository; the manually added repos are in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [08:30] hello, anyone running ubuntu on a dell precision M3800 ? [08:30] impi, not on dell but what is the problem? [08:30] impi, yes [08:31] hey thanks for letting me know [08:32] the OS is 14.04.02 working well on intel, but i am unable to get the nvidia going eventhough I have the additional drivers propriatry, tested 331 activated and set prime-switch to nvidia [08:32] i also have a dell touch pad that is difficult to use because the cursor is errattic - a logictech T650 touchpad, however works fine [08:32] just wanted to find out whats the general experience of this machine with ubuntu and if you are seeing similar issues [08:33] impi, because nvidia retracted 14.04 support. options: live with it for now, upgrade to 15.04 or wait for 16.04 if you are LTS only [08:33] another thing i am seeing is the touchpad on the device, sometimes don't register a tap and it forces me to flip between tap and click [08:34] cfhowlett, right, thats interresting, but dissapointing, ill stick around 14.04 with intel for now as it's not a degraded experience - just wanted to use my nvidia but i can live with it [08:36] cfhowlett, are you on 15.04 and nvidia working for you? [08:37] impi, no, my policy is LTS only so ... I'm living with it for now. [08:37] right, same here [08:37] thanks for letting me know, really appreciate your answers, [08:37] impi, happy2help! [08:47] Any ideas if crackling on the optical output of my PC is related to linux, or if it's hardware. I'll boot in windows to check in an hour or so. Just have to get something done [08:59] So I just booted to windows, and I'm now sure the issue lies with linux. Anyways, here's my problem :/ Using a pair of wireless headphones, with an optical input, in linux, I get this crackling when music plays, as if the driver was loos aand flopping. You know, like the sound a woofer makes when theres a hole in it, allowing air to flap through it, though more digital. [08:59] Anyways, the problem doesn't exist in windows, so the problem has to be with how linux uses my onboard audio out. [09:00] Any general fix to this, or is it something I'd need a driver specific to my motherboard to deal with? (ASUS Sabertooth P67) [09:05] Dumle29: lspci | grep Audio [09:06] histo: brb, jumping back into linux [09:09] histo: Should be noted I'm running ubuntu gnome, so it's pulseaudio as well [09:10] histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11739333/ [09:12] Dumle29: I'm assuming you're using the intel for audio out? [09:12] Yep, it's the motherbaord optical out [09:14] Dumle29: what version of ubuntu are you running? [09:15] histo: 15.04 Ubuntu gnome [09:16] Dumle29: trying to see if anyone else is having the same issue [09:16] Dumle29: what headphones do you have that plug in to an optical audio out? [09:16] Can't really find anything exactly the same, someone did mention default sample rate, so I'll try and change thatt [09:16]
