<0> judah, so eg, if you see a lot of people ask "what's up with no root permissions" and everyone keeps telling them "you need to use sudo", you have to start thinking - can we do anything to give a warning to people every time they open a terminal, so that they don't have to ask?
<1> How can I make the applications button nicer?
<2> Mastus: i have a tab called 'Desktop Setup'
<3> Seveas: that's what i'm saying!!!!!
<4> <3> nanotube: you need gcc to have a desktop installation on a business desktop somewhere where there are 2000 clients installed.
<5> darkyoshi: that's a metter of opinion
<0> judah, and that's exactly what i saw when i used the dapper live cd - you open a terminal, and at the top there is a message saying "use sudo for root privs"
<4> <4> judah, that is one of the places where gcc is least needed...
<6> nanotube, actually the terminal does warn, but only on first login
<7> Kyral_FreeBSD: it would reduce the risks of a user compromising the system. I mean actually, a user is root or not.
<8> mirak, if you want it you look for it the way I am suggesting it is the way to intereact dropping it into a support channel kinda is like drive by bug reporting not really useful
<3> nanotube: if you click on any administrative application in gnome in ubuntu you are prompted for your p***word. that's pretty self evident.
<9> mirak: the programs aren't the problem
<7> Kyral_FreeBSD: if he wants to do things like install he directly needs to be root.
<10> fissy: But that doesn't control the tv-out on/off. Is the aticonfig --enable-monitor command supposed to do that?
<1> What I mean is changing it from the Ubuntu logo and "Applications" to an XP-like start button, as seen in Linux Magazine
<9> mirak: no he doesn't
<3> it's all a learning curve.
<4> darkyoshi, *shiver*
<1> :(
<5> *agrees*
<9> mirak: p*** ./configure --prefix=$HOME
<1> Not exactly
<7> Kyral_FreeBSD: while I don't think you need as high privileges to install some basic stuffs
<9> done
<1> not saying start
<8> !root
<1> or being green
<11> Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
<5> i highly doubt it
<9> the low level things that everyone uses?
<8> mirak, ^^ please read that page reffed by ubotu
<9> yah smart
<1> But how can I make a customized applicatinos button?
<0> judah, so when you try to run make, and it says "command not found" why doesn't it give a message "you seem to be attempting to build from source, you need package build-essential for that". that way, all the questions are answered.
<12> darkyoshi: right click on panel > add to panel > main menu
<7> ompaul: sudo -s gives you as much privileges
<13> nanotube: because if you're running make - you should know that much
<9> read it and be aware of the implication of $PATH
<3> nanotube: go ahead and write the code to add that to /bin/sh
<14> server.cfg - Not writable by web server! - how do i make a file writeable by the the user www-data ?
<15> fissy: thanks for the link. I'll probably need to reboot, but i've got the feeling that this will fix it
<4> Kyral_FreeBSD, j How many $PATHs must a man walk down... k
<9> mirak: yanno what I have an idea. If you feel so strongly about it, make your own distro
<3> nanotube: i don't think that's the job of a shell to thell you that sort of thing.
<7> Kyral_FreeBSD: I don't need that. and I don't understand why you can place yourself in the position of basic users that will NEVER EVER want to hear about compilation
<0> judah
<14> anyone ?
<3> nanotube
<3> ;)
<0> judah, oh no, dont edit the shell by no means
<16> Hi all, I'm on a laptop with a Synaptic touchpad:today it stopped working, but yesterday it was working well
<7> Kyral_FreeBSD: are you an ex debian user or something ?
<9> mirak: because I don't believe that is the path to a more secure cyberspace
<14> how do i make a file writeable by a user? anyone
<17> need a scandisk like appl
<0> judah, just edit the default .bashrc to include aliases for gcc and make, that are aliased to that warning message. simple as that :)
<4> larsson_, fsck
<0> judah, nobody wants to edit the shell! :P
<7> Kyral_FreeBSD: anyway who are you to say this idea is totaly dismissable ?
<3> nanotube: but what if make and gcc is installed?
<2> Mastus: i'm not sure what you said will do the job, but if you type aticonfig on its own, it does give a huge output, some of which looks like it might say how to turn on the tv out
<8> mirak, using -s will get me giving out to you, try -i if you feel you must, however it is not how we interact the machine, and if you suggest it here expect to be shouted at - sudo is your friend
<9> mirak: I have already told you how to install something in your homedir without root
<18> I have a laptop with an Intel PRO/Wirelessbg card in it, and I can no longer connect to WEP encrypted APs. This use to work under Breezy. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
<3> nanotube: you're alias would still interupt the command with the warning.
<4> Kyral_FreeBSD, mirak: could you stop pointless arguing, this channel is for support.
<0> judah, have the build-essential .deb automatically remove those aliases.
<14> how do i make a file writeable by a user? anyone
<19> sorry I didn't notice we couldn't do some past
<4> QPAD|war-away, man chmod, man chown
<3> nanotube: that sounds... ew... but write a patch and make it work.
<7> Seveas: so where can I chat about that ?
<16> Hi all, I'm on a laptop with a Synaptic touchpad:today it stopped working, but yesterday it was working well
<9> Not hear, I am leaving for dinner
<9> :P
<8> mirak, #ubuntu-offtopic is that channel
<0> judah, all it would take is a simple edit of a text file. (like p***ing that through a grep -v is all)
<14> Seveas, could you please give me the command, pretty please?
<7> Kyral_FreeBSD: you can't understand that's not for me but a general concept ?
<20> how do i change the refresh rate for xorg ? in X its set to a value too high for my monitor which can be bad for the monitor.
<21> how can i convert mpg to mp3 with mencoder?
<4> QPAD|war-away, to make a file world writable: chmod a+w /path/to/file
<21> in google i nothing found
<5> i always dislike coming in here, because there are way more people asking questions than giving answers. once i get more familar with this os i'll do my part
<7> Kyral_FreeBSD: no you can't. nevermind
<14> Seveas, and by a user? I need to make the file /home/cs/bla.cfg wrietable by www-data
<4> mirak, quit it.
<17> i ran fsck and it found corruptions. It says i can use --rebuild tree, will this erase the data on my disc?
<7> Seveas: I quited
<4> QPAD|war-away: chmod g+w /path/to/file, chown :www-data /path/to/file
<9> Oh, FYI, I am a past Debian user ;P
<2> Mastus: yeah, the command you said. sorry... had to read through all that crap
<9> but just as much, I am a Hacker
<10> fissy: Yea, tried it.. aticonfig --query-monitor gives "Enabled displays: Crt1, TV" (no picture on telly, though) then if i try to aticonfig --enable-monitor=crt1,tv - it scrambles the picture (like some weird sync problem)
<0> judah, heh well anyway, thanks for the discussion ;)
<3> nanotube: anytime!
<8> mirak, cease and go to that channel or I will kick you if he does not - there is a channel called #ubuntu-offtopic for that very reason - you are invited to go there to continue
<9> cya on the flipside
<17> i ran fsck and it found corruptions. It says i can use --rebuild tree, will this erase the data on my disc?
<16> Hi all, I'm on a laptop with a Synaptic touchpad:today it stopped working, but yesterday it was working well
<10> Then if I try to enable only the crt1, it's still scrambled, and I have to restart X
<18> I have a laptop with an Intel PRO/Wirelessbg card in it, and I can no longer connect to WEP encrypted APs. This use to work under Breezy. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
<16> Hi all, I'm on a laptop with a Synaptic touchpad:today it stopped working, but yesterday it was working well
<22> any help with my problem will be ok
<23> Is there a way for gnome to save sessions upon logout like KDE does
<24> Hi all, i am trying to get my WG311v3 working on my computer, can anyone guide me through this? i already have ndiswrapper and ndisgtk installed.
<10> Got a picture on TV(all scrambled on both monitors), when did a "dual monitor setup" (aticonfig query: crt1, crt2)
<2> Mastus: are you using a laptop?
<25> omg I hate irssit
<25> irssi
<25> ugh
<10> fissy: Nope. Have a 9550SE Radeon
<3> irssi is DA BOMB.
<17> Need help with fsck! It says it found bad nodes and corrupted data on the disc. Can it fix that without erasing my data on it?
<24> Lorri: I think that breasy did
<10> fissy: And no, I don't have two monitors, and a TV, but the dual monitor thing and aticonfig --enable tv, gave me picture but all scrambled...
<3> lampshade: what's not to like?
<0> rmflagg, so i take it that it stopped working after you upgraded to dapper?
<26> do iptables settings survive reboot ?
<24> Hi all, i am trying to get my WG311v3 working on my computer, can anyone guide me through this? i already have ndiswrapper and ndisgtk installed.
<0> ProN00b, no
<10> fissy: Got it somewhat working on Breezy though
<0> ProN00b, you have to set up a boot script to restore iptables settings if you want them to survive
<2> Mastus: are you sure you have all the things like signal formats set up right?
<10> fissy: Yep, PAL-B, VIDEO
<18> nanotube: Yes, after installing Dapper, the ability to connecto WEP connection has ceased. Network Manager also no longer works...it doesn't find the interface.
<2> PAL-B? which country are you in?
<10> Finland
<0> rmflagg, ah, well, go to wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager, it will tell you how to edit your /etc/network/interfaces to make it work
<2> I thought just about everyone used PAL-M in europe, but if you're sure...
<27> Will signing my emails with my key cause any problems for clients that don't deal with that stuff?
<26> nanotube, i have this iptable setting i always have after reboot, got any idea what it could be (i flushed it already and don't have it anymore)
<24> Hi all, i am trying to get my WG311v3 working on my computer, can anyone guide me through this? i already have ndiswrapper and ndisgtk installed... pl0x help me...
<10> fissy: Well, TV supports PAL-B, PAL-G and PAL-M
<0> rmflagg, i, too, have a laptop with that wireless nic. haven't upgraded to dapper yet, though :)
<4> eugman, no, it will appear as an attachment
<27> Cool.
<0> ProN00b, ah, well, it would be one of the scripts in /etc/init.d/ look around there.
<24> Hi all, i am trying to get my WG311v3 working on my computer, can anyone guide me through this? i already have ndiswrapper and ndisgtk installed... I promise to contribute to ubuntu as much as possible when i get this working :)
<18> nanotube: It connects to unencrypted aps just fine. It just won't connect to WEP aps at all.
<0> ProN00b, if you want your current "default" iptables settings to change, you would either remove that script, or edit it to suit you.
<10> fissy: Can it be a somekind of detection problem? Like when it goes all scrambled, monitor gives the resolution 1024x768@85Hz... I don't think it's right on cloned desktop
<26> nanotube, "cat /etc/init.d/*|grep iptable" gives nothing
<2> Mastus, you're trying to do cloned desktop between crt and tv?
<0> rmflagg, hmm, interesting. well, if nothing on that wiki page helps, i am out of ideas... because i am still running breezy...
<10> fissy: Well that would be a start
<0> ProN00b, hmm, interesting. what is the "default" iptables setting when you reboot?
