cheers

djeikyb

Feb 4, 2017 00:10

yeah will do

djeikyb

Feb 4, 2017 00:08

yeah. could be ubuntu 16.04 is running a modified version too

i wonder if there's some bug preventing the display of location, since the code to figure it out is still there: git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-disk-utility/tree/src/disks/…

djeikyb

Feb 4, 2017 00:03

btw, your indicator applet thing is pretty neat, i've got it filed as something to look into next time i'm using gnome

djeikyb

Feb 4, 2017 00:00

odd. i'm not running linux right now, having tasted the apple. but i see at least the vestiges of the location feature: git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-disk-utility/tree/src/disks/ui/…

Check out the end of the answer, and the comments. The palimpsest answer and comments are also relevant.

More or less, though connectors are means to an end, not themselves the point. You might read the winning answer.

So if I have several hd, and I know some are Samsung, some are Toshiba, but I can't physically see the label to tell which is which, those parts of your answer don't help.

djeikyb

There's lots of good info here. But your dev/sys fs advice begs the question: "how do I know which physical disk has a partition with this uuid". Which is what I asked in the first place.

@SeyedMohammad i mean, actually read the question. the guy is trying to programmatically export word docs to pdf. unless you bust out some vbscript, ms word isn't an option here

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 10:39

@SeyedMohammad i don't want to abuse the comment section, but you gotta understand..i've been on the receiving end of people completely ignoring the crux of my questions, and man, it's insanely frustrating. it's better for those answers to not be posted at all.

@pacificfils why?

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 08:13

ha, we're hopefully at least 14 years away from that kinda glitch..

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 08:13

i'm really not liking these compile times

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 08:12

i'm getting close to resolving to not using java for my web service implementation

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 08:02

same to ya'll!

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 08:01

or maybe it's just that i only hit the threshold when i've caused a large, rapid memory leak

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 08:00

which, because i dumbly went with bleeding edge btrfs, pretty much borks my box for the next half hour

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 07:59

hm. my workbox has a swappy val of 60. but my errorprone memory is thinking i don't usually see swap kick in till !00% ram utilisation

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 07:54

@Utkarsh can you tell us what you don't understand about that answer?

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 07:52

s/day/year/

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 07:52

learn something new every day. never heard of swappiness

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 07:50

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:15

cool. i'll email or comment on your question

djeikyb

did you see that?

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:15

nope

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:12

vnc works, but even easier just to get going is probably teamviewer

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:11

sucks that that didn't work

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:11

nice

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:10

at its simplest, maybe: sudo apt-get install unity

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:10

you could maybe try reinstalling unity

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:10

i don't know if we need them, i was just in data gathering mode to aid others who might be able to help

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:09

i found a bug report about the acpi..systemio warning. it's prolly nothing to be concerned with

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:06

the acpi/ichp one, i have no idea about. interesting

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:06

@Alan that ones prolly fine. it just means if when it mounted the hard drive sdb5, if there errors, it would try to mount it again, but this time in read-only mode

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:04

and specifically anything that looks video related

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:04

i'd be looking for anything that says error, warning, problem, fatal, etc

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:04

oh i was thinking that file

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:03

ubuntu and debian behave a bit different from the other mainstream distros

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:03

cool, that's the one then

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 05:02

i don't think i'm gonna have a solution for you. but if you provide these logs in your question (linking to a pastebin is fine), it should help someone else help you. and i'll definitely look through them too, just in case it is something i know about

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 04:59

maybe /var/log/messages

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 04:59

blast. ubuntu might not route kernel messages there

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 04:59

hmm. that doesn't sound good. you'll also want to look at /var/log/dmesg

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 04:57

wow, is that it?

djeikyb

Jan 1, 2014 04:56

and here, have a hat
