| neuton | I was wondering how do I access my windows partition so I can listen to my music? | 03:03 |
| neuton | Thank You Maxamillion | 03:03 |
| maxamillion | neuton: mount it | 03:03 |
| maxamillion | your welcome | 03:03 |
| neuton | I tried to but it says it set to root only and can't access it? | 03:03 |
| neuton | which program or command do I use to mount it to access it? | 03:04 |

| neuton | I went under disk-admin and enabled the partition but still can't get into them? | 03:05 |
| maxamillion | !sudo | neuton | 03:05 |
| ubotu | neuton: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 03:05 |
| maxamillion | neuton: sudo basically means "admin with 'root privilages'" | 03:06 |
| neuton | ok so I use sudo in a terminal,but what command do I use to mount the partition | 03:06 |
| maxamillion | neuton: that all depends on where the partition is ... you might even have to add a path to /etc/fstab .... | 03:07 |

| ubotu | neuton: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 03:08 |
| neuton | ohh sry,how do I paste bin? | 03:09 |
| neuton | oh ok TY | 03:09 |
| maxamillion | neuton: no problem | 03:09 |
| maxamillion | neuton: it doesn't appear to see the other partition .... uhmmm, just a moment | 03:09 |
| neuton | when I use the pastebin,do I copy the url and paste it here for you guys to see? | 03:11 |
| maxamillion | neuton: do "cat /proc/partitions" in the command line and see if there is a partition mentioned other than the ones in the /etc/fstab | 03:11 |
| neuton | yes it shows my hda1 | 03:12 |
| neuton | I will paste it for u | 03:12 |

| maxamillion | thanks | 03:13 |
| neuton | np ty you | 03:14 |
| maxamillion | neuton: ok, do "sudo mkdir /media/windowsPartition" | 03:15 |
| neuton | ok | 03:16 |
| maxamillion | neuton: and then do "sudo nano /etc/fstab" and add "/dev/hda1 /media/windowsPartition ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1" to the end of that file | 03:16 |
| maxamillion | neuton: all that should be on one line | 03:17 |
| neuton | are those commas or periods? | 03:18 |
| maxamillion | neuton: then do ctrl+o to save, and ctrl+x to exit | 03:18 |
| maxamillion | neuton: commas | 03:19 |
| neuton | ok it gave me the fstab file and then I did the save and exit,but I only saw the old info there is that correct? | 03:21 |
| neuton | do the changes show next time | 03:21 |
| maxamillion | wait ... what? | 03:21 |
| neuton | lol | 03:21 |
| neuton | when I hit the enter after typing what you wrote,it shoed the fstab but only with the info from before it was not showing the changes to it | 03:22 |
| maxamillion | neuton: that's probably just left over from when you did "cat /etc/fstab" in the terminal | 03:23 |
| neuton | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14655/ | 03:23 |
| maxamillion | neuton: do "cat /etc/fstab" again to make sure your changes are there | 03:23 |
| neuton | this might be easier to understand | 03:23 |
| neuton | it is the fstab after I did what you suggested to do | 03:24 |
| maxamillion | yeah, it shouldn't print the file after you edit it | 03:24 |
| neuton | I did not use the " at all, did i HAVE TO USE THOSE ALSO | 03:24 |
| neuton | sry for caps | 03:25 |
| maxamillion | no, you didn't | 03:25 |
| neuton | so no " | 03:26 |

| neuton | yes,I will try it again | 03:28 |

| neuton | look at this | 03:52 |
| maxamillion | ok, did you hit enter at the end of the line you wrote? | 03:53 |
| maxamillion | apparently mount is looking for a carriage return and claims there isn't one, and thus probably isn't reading in the line that has information about the hda1 | 03:54 |
| neuton | ok let me fix it then | 03:54 |
| maxamillion | k | 03:54 |

| coldsteal | __Serge__: xfce is faster than kde for shure | 06:50 |
| coldsteal | i have a dapperdrake server install cd | 06:50 |
| __Serge__ | what i want is a OS that, for example, recognize the there are 2 USB ports on the pc (ubuntu 5.04 didn't...) | 06:50 |
| coldsteal | its the lamp one | 06:50 |

| maxamillion | __Serge__: both xubuntu and ubuntu will do that flawlessly | 06:51 |
| coldsteal | __Serge__: 5.04 was a while ago | 06:51 |
| maxamillion | yeah ... loooong while, ALOT has happened since then | 06:51 |
| coldsteal | like new kernels | 06:51 |
| __Serge__ | it's very nice to hear (i mean, read) that... : ) | 06:51 |
| corevette_ | does xubuntu have an alt cd? | 06:51 |

| __Serge__ | i have another question | 06:52 |
| maxamillion | corevette_: yes | 06:52 |
| coldsteal | whats an alt cd? | 06:52 |
| coldsteal | alternitave cd | 06:52 |
| coldsteal | ? | 06:52 |
| maxamillion | corevette_: www.xubuntu.org/get | 06:52 |
| __Serge__ | someone told me that ubuntu uses .deb instead of .exe... it's true? | 06:53 |
| coldsteal | whats the diff | 06:53 |
| coldsteal | lol __Serge__ yes | 06:53 |
| coldsteal | its linux | 06:53 |
| coldsteal | its based on debian | 06:53 |
| maxamillion | coldsteal: its a text based installation cd, for machines without the power for the live cd install or just for people who prefer a little more control over the installation process | 06:53 |
| coldsteal | exe is for windows | 06:53 |
| __Serge__ | then how do i install programs with .exe??? like winamp?? | 06:53 |
| coldsteal | u dont | 06:53 |
| coldsteal | u can do thingng like wine | 06:54 |
| coldsteal | but there are alternatives to windows apps | 06:54 |
| __Serge__ | and if i compile a program in gcc... it will generate a .deb? | 06:54 |
| maxamillion | __Serge__: no | 06:54 |
| corevette_ | coldsteal: when i installed ubuntu for the first time, the main cd would not boot up...so downloaded/installed using the alt cd and it worked | 06:54 |
| coldsteal | no | 06:54 |
| __Serge__ | then what will happen? | 06:54 |
| coldsteal | u get a compiled app | 06:55 |
| maxamillion | __Serge__: it will generate a linux ELF binary files | 06:55 |
| coldsteal | lol then u can exicut it | 06:55 |
| maxamillion | file* | 06:55 |
| __Serge__ | ELF????????????? | 06:55 |
| corevette_ | coldsteal: http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/xubuntu/6.10/release/ about halfway down (this is for edgy assuming you want that) | 06:55 |
| maxamillion | !elf | 06:55 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about elf - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | 06:55 |

| maxamillion | bah! | 06:55 |

| maxamillion | __Serge__: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linkable_Format | 06:56 |
| __Serge__ | so, if i make teh famous "hello world" program in xubuntu... | 06:56 |
| __Serge__ | i will get, for example, hello.elf? | 06:56 |

| maxamillion | __Serge__: you will just get hello | 06:57 |
| easye | hello all | 06:57 |
| maxamillion | __Serge__: and hello will be executable | 06:57 |
| maxamillion | easye: hello | 06:57 |
| __Serge__ | aaahhh... i see... | 06:57 |
| __Serge__ | ok, i got it... | 06:57 |
| __Serge__ | another thing | 06:57 |
| easye | I got a problem, and Im not afraid to state it | 06:57 |
| __Serge__ | what about xubuntu and viruses? | 06:58 |
| __Serge__ | it is true that linux is invulnerable? | 06:58 |
| easye | xubuntu, the desktop has no group select feature! is this normal? | 06:58 |
| coldsteal | __Serge__: no thing is invulnerable | 06:58 |
| __Serge__ | you're right | 06:58 |
| __Serge__ | but i mean | 06:58 |
| coldsteal | it all depend on ur services | 06:59 |
| __Serge__ | at least more invunerable that windows? | 06:59 |
| __Serge__ | than | 06:59 |
| coldsteal | such as if u run a vunerable apache | 06:59 |
| coldsteal | hell ya it way more secure than windows | 06:59 |
| easye | you can hit the weak point for massive damage | 06:59 |
| __Serge__ | the question is: if i use xubuntu, do i need an antivirus? | 06:59 |
| maxamillion | __Serge__: no, you don't | 06:59 |
| coldsteal | nno proby not | 07:00 |
| __Serge__ | really??? | 07:00 |
| __Serge__ | coooool!! | 07:00 |
| coldsteal | i dont have it on any machines | 07:00 |
| maxamillion | __Serge__: you might want a firewall, but you just install "firestarter" from synaptic | 07:00 |
| coldsteal | u can if u want tho | 07:00 |

| __Serge__ | LOL... : p | 07:00 |
| easye | have you guys seen this planet earth show | 07:01 |
| __Serge__ | but u said linux is not invulnerable... then, there are viruses that can affect it? | 07:01 |
| maxamillion | well that and you have to install beryl or compiz if atleast for nothing else to make the Vista noobs realize how old and unoriginal their $400 OS is | 07:01 |
| easye | its on discovery channel right now, and its freaking awesome | 07:01 |
| tonyyarusso | !virus | __Serge__ | 07:01 |
| ubotu | __Serge__: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 07:01 |
| maxamillion | __Serge__: no, nobody writes viruses for it | 07:01 |
| coldsteal | http://vfat.org/~tmp/full-network.html | 07:01 |
| coldsteal | look at that __Serge__ | 07:01 |
| __Serge__ | okay | 07:02 |
| coldsteal | thats my internal network | 07:02 |
| maxamillion | __Serge__: vulnerability isn't about viruses explicitly, it generally has more to do with hackers | 07:02 |
| __Serge__ | ahhh... hackers, yeah... | 07:02 |
| coldsteal | 192.168.1.3 is freebsd | 07:02 |
| maxamillion | coldsteal: nice! :) | 07:02 |
| __Serge__ | but i don't care if someone looks my HD... | 07:02 |
| livinded | them evil hackers are the cause of all out problems | 07:02 |
| maxamillion | __Serge__: yeah, me either ... i don't have anything that important | 07:02 |
| easye | for anyone who uses xubuntu: does the desktop normally have a group select feature? Because I can only click on single objects on the desktop | 07:02 |
| coldsteal | lol yes livinded | 07:02 |
| __Serge__ | so, i only need a firewall then.. | 07:03 |
| __Serge__ | and not an antivirus | 07:03 |
| coldsteal | ya | 07:03 |
| tonyyarusso | easye: ctrl-click? | 07:03 |
| __Serge__ | right? | 07:03 |
| coldsteal | basickly | 07:03 |
| Pumpernickel | easye: It's kind of limited that way. | 07:03 |
| tonyyarusso | !firewall | __Serge__ | 07:03 |
| ubotu | __Serge__: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 07:03 |
| maxamillion | easye: you can select more than 1 with shift or ctrl keys ... but not click and drag with the mouse | 07:03 |
| coldsteal | or u can use shorewall | 07:03 |
| coldsteal | i like shorewall | 07:03 |
| livinded | maxamillion and __Serge__ I hate to break it to you, but I don't think hackers are interested in your kiddy pr0n they care more about using your boxes as proxies, storage, or to launch attacks | 07:03 |
| easye | hmm.. is that a resource saving feature of XFCE? | 07:03 |
| __Serge__ | shorewall? whats that? | 07:04 |
| === mode/#xubuntu [+o maxamillion] by ChanServ | ||

| Pumpernickel | I didn't, anyway, so that's cool. | 07:09 |
| Pumpernickel | What happened, though? | 07:09 |
| maxamillion | Pumpernickel: apparently you owned his file server in his dream and then he woke up in his dream and checked his logs and there were traces of you owning it .... he said it freaked him out when he actually woke up | 07:10 |
| Pumpernickel | wow | 07:11 |
| x2180[laptop] | O.o | 07:11 |
| maxamillion | yeah ... thought it was funny myself | 07:11 |
| x2180[laptop] | was it a windows box? | 07:11 |
| Pumpernickel | Yeh, hacking isn't really my thing. | 07:11 |
| Pumpernickel | I don't have the attention span for it. | 07:12 |
| Pumpernickel | (It takes a lot of effort to hack a Linux box of any variety, unless it's a honeypot.) | 07:12 |
| maxamillion | Pumpernickel: lol, me either .... actually my attention span problem is more or less why i learned python ... quick code and boom, you're off to doing constructive things :) | 07:12 |
| maxamillion | that and i'm generally lazy | 07:13 |
| Pumpernickel | heh, that's why I learned Bash :D | 07:13 |
| x2180[laptop] | hah | 07:13 |
| livinded | Pumpernickel: not really, is depends on what you want to do, and how much access you have, how it's configured, and if it's admin has any sense of security | 07:13 |
| Pumpernickel | A couple lines of script and I've just earned my pay for the day. :) | 07:13 |
| maxamillion | bash is good to automate tasks, but i don't do much more with it then that | 07:13 |
| maxamillion | lol | 07:13 |
| Pumpernickel | livinded: True... but I work as a web dude, so my requirements from scripting are fairly simple. | 07:13 |
| maxamillion | yeah my boss is in the process of learning perl so he can ultimately be lazy | 07:13 |

| easye | thanks | 07:14 |
| Pumpernickel | livinded: That's a completely different league. For hacking... it would take me a couple weeks, at least, to get going, and I wouldn't even want to start. | 07:14 |
| livinded | Pumpernickel: you're a web guy, I assume you realize how simple some web attacks can be | 07:15 |
| Pumpernickel | It's too economically unviable for someone in a developped country. A couple lawsuits or three, and you're undone for life. | 07:15 |
| x2180[laptop] | as if people get sued or hacking | 07:15 |
| x2180[laptop] | well maybe when they do something insanely stupid, but still | 07:15 |
| Pumpernickel | livinded: Yeh. Mostly SQL injection, which isn't my job, but yeh.. I know how dangerous offering various internet services can be. | 07:16 |
| livinded | x2180[laptop] : you don't get sued, you get 4chan party vaned | 07:16 |
| maxamillion | there's more money in being constructive than there is in being destructive ... | 07:16 |

| __Serge__ | or each other files? | 07:19 |
| maxamillion | __Serge__: access? .. yes, you will need to install an application on windows to access the files on linux and on linux you can access the files on windows you will need to install extra software to be able to manipulate the files on windows | 07:19 |

| __Serge__ | yeah, i'll have winXP and xubuntu | 07:20 |
| x2180[laptop] | if you're in linux, just mount your windows partition | 07:20 |
| livinded | x2180[laptop] : not really, as long as you're using ext2 or 3 it's no more difficult on windows than on linux | 07:20 |
| maxamillion | Pumpernickel: my university has a really good digital forensics department, but i looked at the course plan and its too much cyber law and now enough coding ... so i am going to shoot for a masters in comp sci instead of df | 07:20 |
| livinded | all you do is grab the driver and install | 07:20 |
| x2180[laptop] | livinded: in linux, it's just a mount command | 07:20 |
| x2180[laptop] | in windows, you have to install a driver first | 07:20 |
| x2180[laptop] | 1 step is easier than 2, heh | 07:20 |

| x2180[laptop] | heh | 07:21 |
| maxamillion | livinded: xubuntu has it enabled by default | 07:21 |
| Pumpernickel | maxamillion: That's a good choice. If you focus too much on the law aspect, you're likely to end up doing very little computer time, which isn't very fun in itself. | 07:21 |
| Pumpernickel | Better to be the guy solving all the technical problems. It's more entertaining. :) | 07:22 |
| x2180[laptop] | i'm progressively losing faith in the computer science major :( | 07:22 |

| maxamillion | x2180[laptop] : how so? | 07:22 |

| Pumpernickel | maxamillion: If you have both, though, corporations like IBM will be begging you for your time. Begging, as in paying, of course. | 07:27 |
| tonyyarusso | x2180[laptop] : Yeah, they do | 07:27 |
| x2180[laptop] | why? | 07:27 |
| Pumpernickel | And that is a very profitable and interesting job. :) | 07:27 |
| tonyyarusso | x2180[laptop] : Because not everywhere has cheap broadband | 07:28 |
| x2180[laptop] | tonyyarusso: why would anyone pay more than like $10 for dialup though? | 07:28 |
| tonyyarusso | x2180[laptop] : Because they want internet access? | 07:28 |
| x2180[laptop] | so, they don't need to pay more for one ISP when others are cheaper? | 07:29 |
| tonyyarusso | Not everywhere gets a choice. | 07:29 |
| x2180[laptop] | you have a lot of choices with dialup though | 07:29 |
| tonyyarusso | Depends where you are. | 07:29 |
| x2180[laptop] | moreso than broadband obviously | 07:29 |
| maxamillion | Pumpernickel: oh yeah .... my real goal is to one day find myself in a position to get a job offer from google, but that will never happen ... they draft top graduates and phd's from the top universities on the globe ... and i'm neither and not at a top uni, i slacked in high school and i'm too lazy for the work load of places like that | 07:29 |
| tonyyarusso | Not everywhere even has one choice for dialup at all. | 07:29 |
| tonyyarusso | There are, believe it or not, un-internetified households and countries. | 07:30 |
| x2180[laptop] | tonyyarusso: that's still not enough to finance aol | 07:30 |
| x2180[laptop] | and i know that internet access is limited, i wasn't born yesterday | 07:30 |
| x2180[laptop] | but my point was that aol charges like $30 no matter what for dialup access | 07:31 |
| Chili | Alright, I hate to say this, but I have no idea how to install any of these codecs....you have to add a repository source, I have no idea how to do that. | 07:31 |
| x2180[laptop] | even when there's dialup competitors in the same area | 07:31 |
| x2180[laptop] | that are like $10 | 07:31 |
| x2180[laptop] | or whatever | 07:31 |
| Pumpernickel | maxamillion: Yeh, same here. I plan on finding unique, low-level programming jobs with specific requirements. The kind of thing that actually hasn't been done before... there's surprisingly little of that. | 07:31 |
| Pumpernickel | Most programming problems have been solved for at least 40-50 years. >_< | 07:32 |

| maxamillion | Pumpernickel: for some reason, businesses want java apps .... so i will do it for them and then code python for fun .... or just code python in jython and compile down to a .jar and make money for fun :) | 07:32 |
| livinded | Pumpernickel: except for the fact that the world is filled with lots of bad programmers | 07:33 |
| x2180[laptop] | somebody should mix java and flash.. and call it flava | 07:33 |

| Chili | crimsun: will that work? | 09:17 |
| hyper_ch | coldsteal: what are you trying to do? | 09:17 |
| coldsteal | im installing xubuntu with out a gui | 09:18 |
| coldsteal | from the alt cd | 09:18 |
| crimsun | Chili: yes, give me a sec, please | 09:18 |
| hyper_ch | coldsteal: use the server cd | 09:19 |
| Chili | kk | 09:19 |
| coldsteal | im doing the "text based system" | 09:19 |
| coldsteal | hyper_ch: why the server cd | 09:19 |
| hyper_ch | even text instayll will add the gui... | 09:19 |
| coldsteal | really | 09:19 |
| hyper_ch | because that one does not install the gui | 09:19 |
| coldsteal | lol wtf | 09:19 |
| hyper_ch | text install on alternate is not the fancy graphics you get on the live cd but it's still "graphical" | 09:20 |
| crimsun | Chili: that's simple. echo options snd-intel8x0 index=-2 |sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 09:20 |
| hyper_ch | the alternate installs normally better than the desktop one | 09:20 |
| coldsteal | ya its with ncurses | 09:20 |
| hyper_ch | but why do you want *buntu but without gui? | 09:21 |
| coldsteal | so with the alt cd is there a server option | 09:21 |
| hyper_ch | no | 09:21 |
| coldsteal | well its cuz my lapto sucks ass | 09:21 |
| coldsteal | and i need to bypass the whole gui install | 09:21 |
| coldsteal | and i would like just xfce base or something | 09:21 |
| hyper_ch | in the end you do want a gui? | 09:21 |
| coldsteal | yes | 09:22 |
| crimsun | just install x-window-system-core and xfce4 | 09:22 |
| hyper_ch | well, 64mb ram are needed to run xubuntu with its default gui | 09:22 |
| crimsun | (you'll need universe enabled) | 09:22 |
| hyper_ch | 128 at least recommended | 09:22 |
| hyper_ch | or you could try ubuntulite | 09:22 |
| coldsteal | well its just for the install | 09:22 |
| coldsteal | whats ubuntutulite | 09:23 |
| hyper_ch | coldsteal: if you don't want xubuntu-desktop then you have to use the server cd | 09:23 |

| mamb1 | When trying to use clamtk I get the following error message ## Unable to view clamavs information file ### now there is nothing wrong with the information file etc as using clamav in console mode works fine. So I guess it must be a problem with the perl script (I'm no good at perl but I don't see anything blindingly obvious). Should there be some sort of config file associated with the script? | 02:32 |
| mamb1 | I recognize your problem uboto and it can be a bit nasty. Windows and linux installers for that matter have a nasty habit of writing over the mbr at the end of the install (ie when you weren't looking). | 02:38 |

| Slor | Just a quick question - if anyone is currently active... | 06:27 |
| Slor | I have a dual P3-400 machine I am considering ubuntu for. I like the lighter-weight desktop, so I expect I should install xubuntu, and I'll want just a couple serices running like sshd, ftpd, etc. | 06:28 |
| Slor | Should I install 6.10 or 6.06 for best performance on this machine? | 06:29 |
| Slor | And is xubuntu indeed the best flavor for it? | 06:29 |
| Slor | serices=services | 06:29 |
| j1mc | Slor: for a lightweight machine, xubuntu would be a good choice. | 06:29 |
| j1mc | 6.10 has slightly better performance, but if you can wait, 7.04 will be released in a few weeks. | 06:30 |
| j1mc | 6.06 is probably the most stable if you are in a production environment. | 06:30 |
| Slor | what will 7.04 bring to the table? | 06:31 |
| PiTcReW | Slor : I was wondering that as well. | 06:32 |
| Slor | Also, do you know if unbuntu includes support for Travan-style tape drives out of the box? | 06:33 |

| Slor | Can I assume that the "desktop" edition includes the basic server daemons as well? | 06:39 |
| Pumpernickel | Nope. | 06:40 |
| Slor | so, no sshd etc.? | 06:41 |
| Pumpernickel | Not by default. | 06:41 |
| Slor | Lemme ask this then - if I want a system that has just a handful of server-ish daemons and also a lightweight desktop, where should I start? | 06:42 |
| Slor | I would expect I could go either direction and add on whatever I need. | 06:42 |

| === Slor likes the word "gotcha" | ||
| Slor | oh, and desktop install will supply and SMP kernel when appropriate, I hope... | 06:49 |
| j1mc | Slor: no, but the upgrade path from 6.06 to 6.10 didn't work so well. | 06:50 |
| Slor | ah - not an issue here. :) | 06:50 |
| j1mc | Slor: the upgrade was kind of buggy | 06:50 |
| Slor | guess I'll try out x6.10 then. | 06:51 |
| Slor | thanks for the info guys | 06:51 |
| j1mc | Slor: just depends on what you're using it for. if you need it to be a reliable server, i say go with 6.06. if you need more cutting edge apps, go with 6.10. 6.06 will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server (x years from the release date) | 06:51 |
| Slor | I don't even see a "server" release of x. Am I missing something? | 06:53 |
