| redblade | hi | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| redblade | i just switched from linuxmint xfce to xubuntu | 00:04 |
| redblade | i'm having a weird problem that i can't find a straight answer for | 00:05 |
| bazhang | state the acutal issue please | 00:05 |
| redblade | every time i mount an external jump drive or external hard drive using thunar | 00:05 |
| redblade | it mounts root:root 777 | 00:05 |
| redblade | this makes things very annoying, i have to remount with ntfs-3g options in my home directory | 00:05 |
| redblade | i never had this problem under mint | 00:06 |
| bazhang | what command are you using exactly | 00:06 |
| redblade | right clicking the drive in thunar, mount | 00:06 |
| bazhang | ntfs is not a linux file system | 00:06 |
| redblade | it shows up in /media/username/label with root:root and 777 all files & folders | 00:06 |
| redblade | i know | 00:06 |
| redblade | how do i force the username and fmask/dmask with thunar? | 00:06 |
| bazhang | so the permissions are not even close to similar | 00:07 |
| redblade | it's kind of annoying to remount it ntfs-3g in my home folder at the command line | 00:07 |
| redblade | if i want to do any large amount of copying | 00:07 |
| redblade | i dont know what mint's thunar did, but i remmeber it wasnt 777 | 00:08 |
| knome | i would look into fstab | 00:09 |
| redblade | knome: for every single usb drive i own? | 00:10 |
| knome | well, don't... | 00:11 |
| redblade | does it do that for you? try it | 00:12 |
| redblade | ntfs usb drive, mount through thunar | 00:12 |
| knome | i don't use ntfs usb drives | 00:12 |
| redblade | you format them to ext4 after you buy them? | 00:14 |
| mrkramps | redblade, i do not see a problem | 00:15 |
| redblade | pointless, it shoudl go between oses | 00:15 |
| knome | ext2 actually, and i only have one, which has specific options in fstab. | 00:15 |
| redblade | what are the permissions you get, and is it root:root? | 00:15 |
| redblade | mrkramps: | 00:15 |
| bazhang | for ntfs? | 00:15 |
| redblade | yes | 00:16 |
| bazhang | never | 00:16 |
| redblade | mrkramps just tried it i want to see what happened there | 00:16 |
| bazhang | and you are imaginging that ntfs has some linux permissions, it doesnt | 00:16 |
| Snackerr | Hello, is it safe to backup a NTFS HDD to a EXT4? what do you lose? (someone said mp3 tags? photo metadata?) | 00:17 |
| redblade | oh this should be confusing, trying to keep up with both conversations lol | 00:17 |
| redblade | Snackerr: definitely not mp3 tags, i doubt photo metadata | 00:18 |
| Snackerr | redblade, so what do you lose? | 00:19 |
| knome | why would you lose anything? | 00:19 |
| knome | ntfs is the lesser filesystem | 00:19 |
| knome | or, the one with less features to be exact | 00:19 |
| redblade | would there be differences in characters and length of file names? | 00:20 |
| redblade | easily solved though by zipping or tarball | 00:20 |
| knome | i'd imagine the problems might start when restoring | 00:20 |
| mrkramps | redblade, your ubuntu version | 00:20 |
| Snackerr | knome, someone told me that you lose 'metadata' e.g. if the folder is "hidden" | 00:20 |
| redblade | if it's too large a file tar woudl gz | 00:20 |
| redblade | without gz | 00:20 |
| redblade | mrkramps: the xubuntu that just came out, 16.04.1 | 00:20 |
| mrkramps | redblade, seems like this should not happen, although the drive has full user access with 777 | 00:23 |
| redblade | i just tried a fat32 one i have and it isn't 777 | 00:24 |
| redblade | and not root | 00:25 |
| redblade | so you have regularuser:regulargroup with 777 for all files and folders? | 00:26 |
| redblade | for ntfs | 00:28 |
| mrkramps | redblade, i still use 14.04, but it seems more like user:user 700 | 00:28 |
| bazhang | is he using sudo with thunar | 00:28 |
| bazhang | there's no credible reason to use ntfs-3g in this day and age | 00:29 |
| redblade | i doubt it, i'm logged in as a normal user | 00:29 |
| redblade | and clicknig thunar on the desktop | 00:30 |
| redblade | and clicking on the drive and it mounts | 00:30 |
| mrkramps | redblade, can you check syslog for the cmdline options used to mount the drive | 00:30 |
| mrkramps | ? | 00:30 |
| mrkramps | grep "Cmdline options:" /var/log/syslog | 00:30 |
| mrkramps | probably better to get some more context:$ grep -C 3 "Cmdline options:" /var/log/syslog | 00:31 |
| redblade | actually it's not root:root i was mistaken | 00:32 |
| redblade | but it is 777 | 00:32 |
| redblade | normaluser:normalgroup | 00:33 |
| redblade | ntfs-3g[27645]: Cmdline options: rw,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,uhelper=udisks2 | 00:33 |
| redblade | ()that is one of the drives) | 00:33 |
| redblade | yep both disks when using thunar have that string. it isn't root:root, sorry about that | 00:36 |
| redblade | both disks i was trying | 00:37 |
| mrkramps | sry, i only have one ntfs formatted drive vor testing and as this is a could storage backup of a linux server the permissions might have been set before | 00:37 |
| redblade | if i only knew how to change thunar's "cmdline" and add a dmask= and an fmask= | 00:37 |
| mrkramps | redblade, this is not a thunar issue | 00:38 |
| redblade | is thunar just a frontend to something else? | 00:39 |
| bazhang | thunar the window manager? | 00:40 |
| redblade | thunar's the file manager | 00:40 |
| knome | thunar is the file manager. | 00:40 |
| bazhang | redblade, it's clearly not a thunar issue here | 00:40 |
| mrkramps | i guess it is udisk2? | 00:41 |
| redblade | not familiar with udisks2 | 00:42 |
| bazhang | odds on favorite its a corrupt ntfs drive | 00:42 |
| redblade | it's not corrupt i use them all the time | 00:42 |
| redblade | it just shouldnt automatically be 777 | 00:42 |
| bazhang | 777 being linuc permissions | 00:43 |
| redblade | i want to change the defaults for all ntfs drives to be dmask=022 and fmask=133 whenever i use thunar | 00:43 |
| redblade | is there any way to do that? or am i forced to use 777 unless i mount it at the cli? | 00:46 |
| redblade | 777 i mean chmod sorry | 00:46 |
| redblade | umask 000 | 00:47 |
| mrkramps | udev rules | 00:48 |
| redblade | i think that's what i'm looking for mrkramps. i guess mint has its own udev rules built in | 00:51 |
| mrkramps | redblade, just compare the configuration mint uses then | 00:52 |
| redblade | lol i dont have mint anymore it's been replaced with xubuntu | 00:53 |
| redblade | i just found this file, seems to be what i'm looking for: https://github.com/HalisCz/udev-automount/blob/master/10-flash-mounts.rules | 00:54 |
| mrkramps | redblade, you can access all packages from the min repository online … | 00:58 |
| mrkramps | http://packages.linuxmint.com/ | 00:58 |
| redblade | that only lists package names, and this is proving truly difficult as everyone has their own scripts, plus stuff is outdated as things have progressed | 01:12 |
| redblade | why do i have to learn a new scripting language just to change the default mount options? | 01:21 |
| redblade | i find tons of conflicting stuff, some outdated and pre-systemd, etc | 01:22 |
| redblade | sucks | 01:22 |
| redblade | maybe i should try in ##linux, if there's a package i dont know about | 01:22 |
| === mrkramps_ is now known as mrkramps | ||
| mrkramps | redblade, i am not sure but i guess udisk2 will call for mount.ntfs | 01:29 |
| mrkramps | which seems to be a link to ntfs-3g only | 01:30 |
| redblade | all the rules people come up with are for automounting. i dont want to automount, i want to manually mount with thunar | 01:38 |
| redblade | is it that perhaps mint and slackware used an older or patched version of thunar to mount with sane permissions for ntfs jump drives? | 01:39 |
| redblade | i found a lot of files in /lib/udev/rules.d | 01:43 |
| redblade | cant find anything relating to mounting in any of them | 01:48 |
| redblade | :( | 01:48 |
| redblade | it's a good thing i dont copy large amounts of large files from usb disks too often | 01:48 |
| mrkramps | /lib/udev/rules.d/80-udisks2.rules | 01:48 |
| redblade | and usually it's tarballed or 7zipped when i do | 01:49 |
| redblade | the only reference to ntfs i found there was for ignoring a recovery partition | 01:49 |
| redblade | i gotta have dinner it's late | 01:53 |
| redblade | hey does xubuntu have an automatic updater like mint has? | 01:59 |
| knob | Yes redblade | 01:59 |
| knob | Hello everyone. I have two n00b questions. I downloaded Android Studio... unzipped the file, and now I have the whole directory structure. If in the command line I go to /android-studio/bin/ and run ./studio.sh , it brings up Android Studio GUI. | 02:00 |
| redblade | what's the package called | 02:00 |
| knob | My two questions: Where should I move this bin? To /usr/local/bin and drop it in there? And then, how could I create a shortcut so I can access Android Studio GUI via Alt+F2 | 02:01 |
| knob | redblade, Software Updater | 02:01 |
| knob | That's what I run when I hit Alt+F2 | 02:01 |
| redblade | ok. i'm chatting on windows and my linux pc is in another room so i'm kind of going back and forth | 02:02 |
| redblade | but i gotta have dinner now | 02:02 |
| knob | redblade, nice | 02:02 |
| knob | no problem... this channel is a little bit slow because of the time, yet the people in here are awesome. =) | 02:02 |
| Unit193 | knob: Create a 'desktop' file for the launcher, either putting it in ~/.local/share/applications/ or global one. Also, you can add it to your userpath if you don't want to use /usr/local/ | 02:04 |
| knob | Unit193, thanks... I have never dropped a new "binary" anywhere, so I have no idea what "best practice" is. | 02:05 |
| knob | Hmm.... ~/.local/share/application sounds good | 02:05 |
| knob | Unit193, I dropped the /bin into ~/.local/share/applications/bin ... and I also created the Desktop file. Any idea how I can make the "Android Studio" desktop shortcut appear when I use Alt+F2 (Application Finder) ? | 02:10 |
| Unit193 | knob: ~/.local/bin/ for the binary. And, if you entirely terminate xfce4-appfinder and launch it again, *should* find it. | 02:12 |
| knob | Ahhh super! Ok... trying that out | 02:12 |
| knob | Yeah!! Now we're cooking!! w00t w00t!! Thanks Unit! :) | 02:16 |
| knob | Unit193, | 02:16 |
| Unit193 | Sure thing, doc. | 02:16 |

| vahvero | i have weird problem. I try to connect with samba to server where is libreoffice odt file and i can't open it. error is general I/O-error. So gvfs has maybe issues. With Linux Mint there isn't problem. Hmm. | 06:10 |
| vahvero | even if i make new file and move it to server. i can't open it with libreoffice. Normal text file i can open with mousepad and do editing. | 06:19 |
| Matboe | Hi all! Anyone able to help me with a xubuntu wifi issue? | 07:22 |
| vahvero | Problem solved! i did install libreoffice-gnome package and gvfs connection to samba server started to work!! :D NICE!! | 09:03 |
| sine0 | hello folks. I really love xubuntu it makes my linux desktop life worth living as it is how a desktop should look and behave in my opinion, however I have a couple of problems that are starting to plague my workflow and wondered if anyone would be able to help or offer a solution | 11:13 |
| sine0 | first of all when i hit print screen a window comes up with suggestions, save to file or copy to buffer for paste | 11:15 |
| sine0 | it will save to file but I cannot copy it to the paste buffer as when i do no application accepts the paste, it says no metadata or no data. this is not just limited to gimp | 11:16 |

| doc|work | hey. I'm setting up 4x1080p screens using displayport daisy chaining. It's recognising that there are 4 screens and laying them out correctly, but showing them as a single 1080p screen with no resolution options higher than that. Anyone got any suggestions on how to get them recognised as a single 4k device? | 18:20 |
