| [00:02] <cookiemonster078> i just installed fusesmb to gain access to xp folders which I now have in command line only. Anyway to get thunar to see them? | |
| [00:06] <jared> so why install xubuntu? | |
| [00:07] <soldats> because it comes stock with xfce and xfce is awesome IMO | |
| [00:07] <soldats> its all personal preference | |
| [00:08] <jared> what makes xfce better than KDE in ur opinion? | |
| [00:08] <jared> or GNOME | |
| [00:08] <mindframe> can someone help me please? as soon as my system logs in it exits back to gdm | |
| [00:09] <soldats> KDE is ugly IMO and way too big xfceis just minimalistic and runs better on my system than gnome does | |
| [00:09] <soldats> mindframe, is there any errors | |
| [00:10] <mindframe> not that i can see in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | |
| [00:11] <soldats> hmm its not saying anything about ~/HOME not having the correct permissions | |
| [00:12] <mindframe> i just changed the ownership for all the files :( | |
| [02:12] <cookiemonster078> is anyone here | |
| [02:31] <cookiemonster078> helllo i am desperate need of help | |

| [09:19] <helix_> hey what is the minimum system requirments to run xubuntu? Or rather what is the minimum any of you have pushed it on? | |
| [09:25] <helix_> kernel | |
| [09:25] <helix_> hey can I ask you some questions? | |
| [09:31] <fiyawerx> helix_: dunno about what people have done, but http://www.xubuntu.org/get | |
| [09:32] <TheSheep> helix_: P90, 96MB ram, slow as a slug :) | |
| [09:34] <fiyawerx> honestly, there might be sleeker systems than *buntu for very low end machines, it's always run a bit heavy for me | |

| [17:48] <scizzo-> evening | |
| [19:16] <cookiemonster077> I recently install FUSEsmb to gain access to xp network shares which I now have in command line. can someone tell me why thunar won't open them | |
| [19:18] <grahamperrin> cookiemonster077: is your FUSE stuff running as the same user as you, or as a different user? | |
| [19:24] <cookiemonster077> I am not sure. how would i check | |
| [19:24] <cookiemonster077> sorry totally new to this | |
| [19:25] <totalwormface> cookiemonster077: you can go to the main menu -> administration | |
| [19:25] <totalwormface> oh sorry System -> Administration -> users and groups | |
| [19:25] <totalwormface> and add yourself to the 'fuse' group | |
| [19:26] <totalwormface> gods | |
| [19:26] * totalwormface kicks himself | |
| [19:26] <cookiemonster077> it says both myself and root are in that group | |
| [19:27] <totalwormface> good :] | |
| [19:28] <totalwormface> did you add the word 'fuse' to your /etc/modules file? | |
| [19:28] <cookiemonster077> no i did not | |
| [19:29] <cookiemonster077> however it is already there | |
| [19:29] <totalwormface> also good | |
| [19:30] <totalwormface> now, make a directory you wish your network will be mounted on | |
| [19:30] <totalwormface> for example /media/network | |
| [19:30] <totalwormface> or whatever you like | |
| [19:30] <cookiemonster077> does location matter | |
| [19:30] <totalwormface> 'sudo mkdir /media/network' for example | |
| [19:30] <totalwormface> no, not very much | |
| [19:30] <cookiemonster077> done | |
| [19:31] <totalwormface> then do a 'sudo chmod 777 /media/network' | |
| [19:31] <cookiemonster077> permission denied | |
| [19:32] <totalwormface> ehh | |
| [19:33] <totalwormface> did you use use? | |
| [19:33] <totalwormface> argh | |
| [19:33] <totalwormface> did you use sudo? | |
| [19:33] <cookiemonster077> 'sudo -i' | |
| [19:34] <cookiemonster077> root@Brian:~# chmod 777 /home/brian/share | |
| [19:35] <cookiemonster077> chmod: cannot access `/home/brian/share': Permission denied | |
| [19:35] <totalwormface> oh then try 'chmod -R' :] | |
| [19:36] <cookiemonster077> root@Brian:~# chmod -R /home/brian/share | |
| [19:36] <cookiemonster077> chmod: missing operand after `/home/brian/share' | |
| [19:36] <cookiemonster077> Try `chmod --help' for more information. | |
| [19:36] <totalwormface> hehehe sorry | |
| [19:36] <cookiemonster077> what did i do | |
| [19:37] <totalwormface> 'sudo chmod -R 777 /home/brian/share' :[ | |
| [19:37] <totalwormface> :] | |
| [19:37] <totalwormface> that should give no output, if it doesn't it worked :P | |
| [19:38] <cookiemonster077> permission denied??? | |
| [19:39] <totalwormface> hell that makes no sense | |
| [19:39] <totalwormface> what happens if you go to that folder in thunar | |
| [19:40] <totalwormface> and rightclick it | |
| [19:40] <totalwormface> then properties | |
| [19:40] <totalwormface> who is the owner of that file? | |
| [19:40] <totalwormface> eh, directory | |
| [19:40] <TheSheep> totalwormface: root has no longer full control on remotely mounted directories | |
| [19:41] <cookiemonster077> root is listed as owner | |
| [19:41] <cookiemonster077> hello sheep i am still fighting with this | |
| [19:41] <totalwormface> TheSheep: yes, but fuse doesn't know yet that that folder is going to be used as a dir things get mounted on... | |
| [19:42] <totalwormface> cookiemonster077: the folder is empty right? | |
| [19:43] <totalwormface> if so, try 'sudo rm -r /home/brian/share' | |
| [19:43] <cookiemonster077> you said fuse doesn't know. would that be the command 'fuse /home/brian/share' | |
| [19:43] <TheSheep> no | |
| [19:43] <totalwormface> hehehhe | |
| [19:43] <totalwormface> sorry i just awoke, these things are hard at the moment *^_^* | |
| [19:44] <cookiemonster077> rm: cannot lstat `/home/brian/share': Permission denied | |
| [19:44] * TheSheep installs smbfs to try it himself | |
| [19:44] <totalwormface> cookiemonster077: good :] | |
| [19:45] <TheSheep> cookiemonster077: say, what does 'ls -ald /home/brian' say? | |
| [19:45] <totalwormface> TheSheep: fuse is already running, so you're right :] | |
| [19:45] <cookiemonster077> drwxr-xr-x 20 brian brian 4096 2008-01-22 14:12 /home/brian | |
| [19:46] <TheSheep> and /home/brian/share ? | |
| [19:47] <cookiemonster077> ls: /home/brian/share: Permission denied | |
| [19:47] <TheSheep> cookiemonster077: ls -ald | |
| [19:47] <cookiemonster077> root@Brian:~# ls -ald /home/brian/share | |
| [19:47] <cookiemonster077> ls: /home/brian/share: Permission denied | |
| [19:48] <totalwormface> cookiemonster077: i guess you first need to kill fuse | |
| [19:48] <totalwormface> so you can get full control of the folder again :] | |
| [19:48] <cookiemonster077> is that a command | |
| [19:49] <TheSheep> totalwormface: no need to kill | |
| [19:49] <TheSheep> cookiemonster077: do 'sudo umount /home/brian/share' | |
| [19:50] <totalwormface> hehe thank you for your better judgement *^_^* | |
| [19:50] <cookiemonster077> done | |
| [19:50] <totalwormface> good! | |
| [19:50] <TheSheep> cookiemonster077: then remove it as root, make a directory as normal user and run 'fusesmb directory' for it as normal user | |
| [19:50] <Breakage> i cant disable screensaver, the screen goes blank after some time. under screensaver preferences i have disabled it on idle and put the bar to 2 hours. anyone know how i can fix this? | |
| [19:51] <Breakage> also for some reason i dont have /root/.Trash even after deleting stuff as root | |
| [19:51] <TheSheep> Breakage: it goes to disk's global trash if you have writing permissions to it (and root has writing permissions msotly everywhere) | |
| [19:52] <Breakage> TheSheep: ah thats cool, thanks :) thought that might be the case. | |
| [19:52] <cookiemonster077> done now what | |
| [19:52] <TheSheep> Breakage: also, files deleted form the command line don't go to trash | |
| [19:52] <TheSheep> Breakage: they are lost permanently | |
| [19:53] <TheSheep> cookiemonster077: it hsould work now | |
| [19:53] <TheSheep> cookiemonster077: as user | |
| [19:53] <Breakage> TheSheep: oh thanks, think i'll use commands to delete from filesystem :) | |
| [19:54] <cookiemonster077> does the fusesmb.conf need editting | |
| [19:54] <TheSheep> cookiemonster077: yes, if you want to use a user name and/or password | |
| [19:55] <cookiemonster077> the dir change does not matter? | |
| [19:56] <TheSheep> no, it's not configured in there | |
| [19:58] <cookiemonster077> i need to reboot to check something I had an error when I booted this morning that might be important | |
| [20:02] <cookiemonster077> i am back | |
| [20:03] <cookiemonster077> the error did not show this time | |
| [20:05] <cookiemonster077> but the new dir is still empty | |
| [20:07] <TheSheep> cookiemonster077: run 'fusesmb new_dir' | |
| [20:07] <TheSheep> cookiemonster077: as user | |
| [20:07] <Breakage> i've uninstalled gnome-screensaver that should solve my screensaver problem right :)? | |
| [20:07] <TheSheep> Breakage: no | |
| [20:07] <TheSheep> Breakage: it's power saving, not a screen saver | |
| [20:08] <TheSheep> Breakage: the monitor is being puti nto low energy mode | |
| [20:08] <Breakage> TheSheep: damn ok thanks | |
| [20:08] <TheSheep> Breakage: but I don't know where to change these settings | |
| [20:08] <Breakage> TheSheep: no probs ill google | |
| [20:09] <TheSheep> Breakage: you might need to install the gnome power manager | |
| [20:09] <Breakage> ok | |
| [20:10] <TheSheep> Breakage: and run gnome-power-preferences then | |
| [20:10] <Breakage> TheSheep: ok thanks :) | |
| [20:12] <cookiemonster077> it ran fuse with 'sudo' but then it won't let me into the dir | |
| [20:12] <cookiemonster077> permission denied | |
| [20:12] <TheSheep> cookiemonster077: do 'sudo umount' and run the fusesmb as normal user, without sudo | |
| [20:13] <cookiemonster077> sudo umount | |
| [20:13] <TheSheep> sudo mumount directory | |
| [20:13] <TheSheep> umount | |
| [20:15] <cookiemonster077> that has done it. so all these problems are because i did all this as root | |
| [20:15] <cookiemonster077> ?? | |
| [20:16] <TheSheep> yes | |
| [20:16] <TheSheep> funne, eh? | |
| [20:16] <TheSheep> funny | |
| [20:17] <cookiemonster077> thanks for all your help. mind if i come back with the next problem | |
| [20:18] <TheSheep> not at all | |
