[06:21] <ashickur-noor> How I can integrate fridge in my desktop?
[06:28] <vibhav> Do you mean the Ubuntu Fridge?
[06:29] <ashickur-noor> I am not sure
[06:29] <ashickur-noor> http://fridge.ubuntu.com/
[06:29] <ashickur-noor> I want to get the update of this site in my Ubuntu Desktop
[06:29] <Unit193> Well, the calendar section is an ical or xml, and news is rss, so you could either get/usr desktop applications for that, or terminal ones and use conky.
[06:30] <ashickur-noor> How?
[06:30] <ashickur-noor> I am not used of it
[06:30] <ashickur-noor> though I use Ubuntu for 2 years
[06:31] <vibhav> ashickur-noor: You can install a rss reader and suscribe to their feeds
[06:31] <ashickur-noor> wait
[06:31] <vibhav> But you will only see the topic of rthe new post
[06:31] <vibhav> You will need to click on the topic to read the full story
[06:31] <Unit193> Depends on the client.
[06:31] <ashickur-noor> fine for me
[06:31] <ashickur-noor> What is the best client?
[06:32] <vibhav> Unit193: Is there any good RSS client?
[06:32] <Unit193> !best
[06:32] <ubot2`> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.
[06:32] <vibhav> :(
[06:32] <Unit193> Welcome back.
[06:33] <ashickur-noor> I just close window
[06:34] <vibhav> ashickur-noor: As I said there are many RSS clients for Ubuntu
[06:34] <ashickur-noor> hum
[06:35] <Unit193> You can ask bestbot "what's the best rss reader?" in #ubuntu-bots, or check the repo and the program's site.
[06:36] <vibhav> akregator is a popular reader
[06:37] <vibhav> But I wonder if it will install the rest of the kde stuff too
[06:38] <ashickur-noor> hum
[06:38] <ashickur-noor> I already have KDE in my Ubuntu
[06:38] <vibhav> ashickur-noor: Liferea is a nice and easy reader
[06:39] <ashickur-noor> let me try
[06:39] <ashickur-noor> both are installed
[06:40] <ashickur-noor> ;)
[06:40] <vibhav> ashickur-noor: Do you know how to configure it?
[06:40] <ashickur-noor> I am trying
[06:40] <ashickur-noor> Get back if I faiL

[07:12] <vibhav> ...

[07:13] <philipballew> super hipster
[07:57] <ashickur-noor> vibhav: R U here?
[07:57] * ashickur-noor back
[07:58] <vibhav> ashickur-noor: yeah
[07:59] <ashickur-noor> Calender on Liferea is not that good
[07:59] <ashickur-noor> :(
[08:00] <ashickur-noor> #ubuntu-loco
[08:06] <vibhav> Then you can use akregator
[08:10] <ashickur-noor> let me try
[08:13] <ashickur-noor> No same
[08:13] <ashickur-noor> Problem is
[08:13] <ashickur-noor> It only shows previous
[08:13] <ashickur-noor> Not the upcoming
[08:21] <vibhav> Thats a problem with the feed
[08:32] <ashickur-noor> Then What I do?
[08:33] <ashickur-noor> Does any calender aps have this feature?
[08:42] <vibhav> noThe feed url has the problem
[10:31] <head_victim> ashickur-noor: actually, you can probably put the fridge into a google or other email account with calendar functions.
[10:32] <ashickur-noor> hum I know that
[10:32] <ashickur-noor> But I need it on desktop
[10:33] <head_victim> You can set that up to show in the default Ubuntu calendar
[10:33] <head_victim> Which is linked in the window bar where the time/date shows
[10:33] <ashickur-noor> How?
[10:37] <head_victim> Depends on what verion of Ubuntu you use
[10:37] <ashickur-noor> 11.10
[10:37] <head_victim> Basically just import the ical into thunderbird or evolution
[10:38] <ashickur-noor> ical? I am not familiar with it
[10:38] <ashickur-noor> :(
[10:39] <head_victim> I'm not sure if thunderbird or evolution is the current standard for Ubuntu. I only use webmail so I haven't kept up
[10:39] <head_victim> Either way, all you need to do is import the ical file into one of those programs, whichever is the default and it will pop up notifications and show in your calendar.
[10:43] <ashickur-noor> ical will not update ?? I am right?
[10:46] <Snicksie> if its a downloadable file, it wont update ashickur-noor ;)
[10:47] <Snicksie> if its just an url you need to put in your client (which can update), then, it will update ;)
[10:47] <ashickur-noor> I am searching for goole
[10:47] <ashickur-noor> But can not find it
[10:47] <ashickur-noor> how to get ical file for google?
[10:47] <ashickur-noor> :(
[10:47] <Snicksie> for google calendar?
[10:48] <ashickur-noor> yao
[10:48] <ashickur-noor> *p
[10:48] <Snicksie> google can import ical files
[10:48] <Snicksie> but if you have google calendar, you can also use the urls provided at the ubuntu fridge (as I thing you'll want that one?)
[10:49] <ashickur-noor> Not sure
[10:49] <ashickur-noor> I have sync the fridge calendar in my goole
[10:50] <ashickur-noor> but not I need the google calendar in my desktop
[10:51] <Snicksie> settings -> agenda's -> click on the agenda you want on your desktop
[10:51] <Snicksie> it has an xml, ical, html address
[10:52] <ashickur-noor> let me check
[10:52] <Snicksie> in your client you need to find a 'subscribe' link or so... so that it can automatically update
[10:53] <ashickur-noor> Nothing in agenda like link or
[10:53] <ashickur-noor> somethig
[10:54] <ashickur-noor> I will check it some time latter
[10:54] <ashickur-noor> I have to go
[10:54] <ashickur-noor> Bye
[11:15] <head_victim> Snicksie: thanks mate, sorry had to duck out
[14:07] <just> after update my sound volume icon is missing, and in sound settings i cannot move sound indicator.Any one can help?

[19:59] <danby> hello
[20:00] <danby> hello anybody home
[21:18] <edlik> I add an ext4 partition to my external hard drive and now it says I dont have permission to write to it. What do I do to fix this?
[21:19] <philipballew> edlik, good question
[21:19] <philipballew> lets look
[21:20] <philipballew> what are you getting the error from? nautilus?
[21:22] <edlik> Yep, I need to move some files from my fat32 partition into my new ext4 and it wont let me
[21:23] <geirha> It'll be owned by root after you create it
[21:23] <geirha> sudo chown $USER: /media/mountpoint
[21:23] <geirha> will turn ownership over to you ($USER will expand to your username)
[21:23] <philipballew> geirha, you answered when I was writing that :)
[21:24] <philipballew> edlik, do you know your mount point?
[21:24] <geirha> philipballew: sorry :(
[21:24] <philipballew> no prob :)
[21:24] <philipballew> edlik, open a terminal
[21:25] <edlik> terminal open
[21:25] <philipballew> cd /media
[21:26] <edlik> ok
[21:26] <philipballew> next well use the ls comand
[21:26] <philipballew> so you typee ls, but tack on a ls -a to show all hiden files just for the heck of it
[21:27] <philipballew> so ls -a
[21:27] <philipballew> port the output here if you want
[21:27] <philipballew> *post
[21:27] <edlik> ok
[21:28] <edlik> . .. external f9ef4fc9-da3d-401b-9123-8e964d2cf432 My Book
[21:28] <philipballew> so one of those is your newly formated drive. do you remember what you named it?
[21:29] <edlik> I dont think I did name it. I used gparted I wonder if it would show up there if i restarted it.
[21:30] <philipballew> edlik, its probably the f9... but you can always cd into it and look around via ls
[21:30] <philipballew> otherwise you can do what geirha said above with
[21:30] <philipballew> sudo chown $USER: /media/mountpoint
[21:31] <philipballew> monutpoint = the name of your drive
[21:31] <philipballew> so sudo chown $USER: /media/f9ef4fc9-da3d-401b-9123-8e964d2cf432
[21:32] <edlik> done
[21:32] <philipballew> so feel free to try it
[21:33] <edlik> still nothing, and yes the f9 is the one, it shows up at the top of the file. Do you think I have to reboot?
[21:34] <philipballew> no.
[21:34] <philipballew> how are you copying?
[21:35] <edlik> scratch that. I just needed to be in a different place in the terminal.
[21:35] <edlik> It works! you guys are awesome
[21:35] <philipballew> nice!!!
[21:35] <philipballew> you like ubuntu overall?
[21:36] <edlik> I love it, Ive used it for a few years now but still feel kind of like a noob.
[21:37] <philipballew> well if you want to feel better I can help with that. I'd recomend sitting in irc channels more also, are you part of your loco, or do y
[21:37] <philipballew> ou do any linux user groups
[21:37] <philipballew> there good places to learn
[21:39] <edlik> I really like the helpful community, everytime I break something someone always has the answer:-[
[21:39] <philipballew> are you part of your loco?
[21:40] <edlik> no, where would I find it? on irc?
[21:40] <philipballew> where do you live?
[21:40] <edlik> Minnesota
[21:41] <philipballew> ill see what I find! hold on 10 secs
[21:42] <philipballew> there is #ubuntu-us-mn its not very active. I also recomend #ubuntu-beginners-team
[21:43] <philipballew> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MinnesotaTeam
[21:43] <edlik> I will hop on to both of them
[21:44] <geirha> If you want to learn shell scripting though, please avoid the Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide
[21:45] <geirha> and all other shell guides on tldp.org. We get so many questions in #bash because of the bugs those guides teach
[21:47] <edlik> where would be the optimal place to learn shell scripting?
[21:49] <philipballew> geirha, ^
[21:50] <geirha> http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide
[21:50] <geirha> Also, the other resources listed in /topic #bash
[21:51] <geirha> I have yet to see another shell scripting guide that also teaches "good practice".
[22:13] <WilsonBradley> Could someone help me with System problem crash?
[22:13] <WilsonBradley> The crashed program seems to use third-party or local libraries: /opt/java/32/jre1.6.0_31/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so It is highly recommended to check if the problem persists without those first. Do you want to continue the report process anyway?
[23:14] <janusz2> Hi all, I am searching how to make a sandbox under ubuntu? Any ideas?
[23:14] <janusz2> I mean what I want is to disallow a given process from writes/reads
[23:15] <JoseeAntonioR> janusz2: Have you tried with a VM?
[23:15] <janusz2> I think it an over shoot
[23:16] <janusz2> I was thinking more in lines of chroot or Apparmor
[23:16] <janusz2> but maybe VM is a better way
[23:16] <JoseeAntonioR> janusz2: Or maybe, if the program doesn't make any changes on the system itself, you can create another username for that
[23:17] <janusz2> I thought about that too
[23:17] <janusz2> but then I have to create a new user for each process
[23:18] <janusz2> I mean, if I have a lot of possibly malicious processess
[23:18] <JoseeAntonioR> janusz2: Hmm, you're right. I think the best option is creating a VM, so you don't affect your current install in any way.
[23:19] <janusz2> JoseeAntonioR: Thx for help :) I'll probably go the VM way then
[23:20] <JoseeAntonioR> janusz2: No prob. By the way, a good VM is Oracle VM Virtualbox :) If you need further assistance, just come back :)
[23:29] <janusz2> Now when I am thinking about it, even if I run a virtualbox, then a malicious program can kill it (probably), but cannot access my system (which is most important). When the program kills my virtualbox, nothing runs.
[23:30] <janusz2> There should be a way like tabs in Chrome, where each one runs in its own sandbox, and a fail of one doesn't mean fail of all.
[23:31] <JoseeAntonioR> janusz2: Hmm, I don't know of any other ways, maybe you can run those programs on a Terminal, and if one is going to kill your VM, you just cancel it.
