j1mcjgamio: hi.  :)  it depends somewhat on your hardware...05:42
vidd_bricktopjgamio, depends on which version of winbloze you want05:42
vidd_bricktopif you are using < xp then qemu is good05:42

vidd_bricktopjust NOT qemu05:43
j1mcjgamio: ok... those likely don't have the latest virtualization tech built into the processor...05:43
j1mci'd recommend virtualbox, if only because it's worked ok for me.05:43

Chikubuim having hard time mounting windows shares, im using pyNeighborhood, it listes the share, the one im trying to mount is "Shared Documents" just says unable to mount, suggestions?06:04
maxamillionChikubu: i believe you have to run pyNeighborhood as sudo ... so run the command "gksudo pyneighborhood" in the terminal or the run dialog (alt+f2)06:08
Chikubuok, ill try sudo06:08
Chikubushouldve thought of that :)06:09
maxamillionChikubu: no worries ... i think i heard that somewhere and i also recall complaints on how it wasn't very well documented06:09
Chikubuthat did it :)06:11
Chikubunow, why isnt this ancent sb 16 isa card working....worked in windows before i erased windows hehe06:11
Chikubuits like its not detected, device manager isnt listing it06:11
maxamillionChikubu: its very possible that support for it was dropped, but i don't doubt there is a module floating around for it somewhere ... might just wanna search google for "ubuntu sb 16 isa" or something similar ... or go more vague and say "sb 16 isa card linux module"06:12
Chikubuive read that support for it is in almost all distro's06:12
Chikubuthat is pretty solid being an old tech alot was built on06:13
Chikubudo you know what irq a modem is likely to use by default?  read something that if a pci device has irq 5 sound card might not be detected, guess i can just yank it06:13
Chikubumeans a reboot, ugg have a zillion things going06:14
Chikubuhave a post scrip printer i need to get working, via printer port, parrallel06:15
maxamillionChikubu: you don't have to reboot ... if you know the module, just remove the module and yank the card ... no harm done06:16
Chikubudoes xubuntu detect printers or is it a manual affair?06:16
vidd_bricktopsorta manual....06:17
maxamillionChikubu: well, if they are usb it is "detected" as a device, but you have to resolve the drivers (which generally isn't too painful) ... the one i have at my office at work took me i think 3 button clicks06:17
vidd_bricktopthere is a tool06:17
Chikubunot usb, though i have a usb parrellal port06:18
vidd_bricktopwhat kind of printer?06:18
Chikubuits a very odd printer, not standard, its wide format06:18
vidd_bricktop(please dont say lexmark)06:18
Chikubuprints up to 54inches wide, feet long hp designjet 3500cp06:19

Chikubuoh im looking at that, thougth u meant another, so i manualy add the printer06:21

vidd_bricktopbut it IS going through your usb port06:24
maxamillionChikubu: that's fine ... it doesn't have to be, the printer setup tool will work with parallel printers06:24
vidd_bricktopthe location would be like "upsatirs" "in the basement"06:24

maxamillionChikubu: well if its managed by hal or you rmmod the module first, then yes ... technically you should be able to ... but then you get into the realm of "how electro-statically safe is this?"06:32
Chikubui think the modem might be using irq 5 which might be interfering with the hardware detctin of the sound card isa06:32

yesdupHi all. I have installed firehol as my firewall but recently i found that i switched on but haden't logged in and there was a stream of 11111111...... s continually been entered at my log in screen. I think this is possibly a hacker trying to get in through remote desktop?? And i also think that i haven't set Firehol to initiate at the correct run level i.e 1 or 2.?? Or i have set it to run at startup?? So how do i do those things and also I'm 10:16

PumpernickelI'd check your keyboard for stuck keys / shorted keys / messed up connections first.10:20
PumpernickelXubuntu doesn't ship with any remote access server software, which makes 'hacking' it a bit unrealistic.10:21
yesdupOk no remote desktop so scratch that idea.10:21
yesdupThe keboar is fine, i have checked. and it work 100% under windows.10:22
yesdupbut the firewall should still start at an early run level, Right? And if its not a sticky key (happens only in xubuntu) then what is it.10:25
PumpernickelFirehol is just a graphical rules-builder - it produces a working configuration for iptables, which is implemented in the kernel.10:30
PumpernickelIt doesn't actually have to be running for the filtering rules to be in effect.10:30
yesduppumpernickel Ok. So your saying that my firehol firewall should be working from run level 1 and that is't the problem? So what/who is writeing 111111...s on my screen and how do istop it?10:40
yesdupOh by the way "Firehol is just a graphical rules-builder" it incorrect. It isn't graphical. just text based.10:44

MaxFramesI did the upgrade last tuesday, and the result was that a few seconds after the log in, the mouse freezed for a second, then the display went blank, and then I was taken back to the logon screen10:48
MaxFramesToday instead everyting goes fine... but I did not change anything whatsoever!10:49
MaxFramesI just booted again (for the n.th time) and this time the problem has gone...10:49

yesdupMax frames good to hear that your prob has gone. but does anyone know why i have 1111111111...s on my xubuntu screen in any and all text enrty boxes when the firewall is turned off.11:02
MaxFramesno clue, sorry11:03
MaxFramesanyway... I installed xubuntu to learn something about Linux... this self-solved problem didn't leave much room for learning though :P11:04
MaxFrameswhat was the problem? unknown. how was it fixed? unknown.11:04
MaxFramesanyway v7 is sooooo much better than v6! :)11:04
MaxFrameseven faster on my old PC11:05
yesdupif i run /etc/init.d/fiehol stop then after about five or so mins someone starts writing 11111111..... and my network monitor shows traffic in both directions. If i run/etc/init.d/fiehol start the 11111111... stop and so does the network activity.????11:05
benpiccohey, as you mention a firewall, how can I get xubuntu using one for alle internet related stuff?11:05
benpiccowell, it more a proxy11:06
MaxFramesyesdup: looks like someone is doing stuff to your system11:06
MaxFrameslike a remote desktop session... and his "1" key is sticky :P11:07
yesdupThats what i think too.11:07
MaxFramestry to trace him11:07
yesdupbut there is no RD server with xubuntu apparently. and i haven't installed one.11:08
MaxFramesI'm not into Linux enough to be sure, but I guess there are so many ways one can make stuff appear on your edit boxes11:08
yesdupI can stop it with the firewall Firehol. but i recently just switched on and didn't logg in when i can back to the screen there was 1111111111... in the log in box.11:09
yesdupSo i figure that my firewall isn't starting soon enough11:10
yesdupfiesty xubuntu is good isn't it.:d11:10
yesdupbetter than v611:11
MaxFramesany idea why the terminal window is opened TWICE when I launch it from the X menu the first time?11:11
MaxFramesI log in, I start the terminal from the XFCE menu, and it is opened twice (two terminal windows)11:12
MaxFramesif I close both windows and launch terminal again, only one window opens11:12
yesdupYour not double clicking?11:12
MaxFramesno11:12
MaxFramesit did this with v.6 and it's still doing it after the upgrade to v711:13
yesdupJust the first time. On every session.11:13
MaxFramescorrect.11:13
MaxFramesanother weirdness....11:13
yesduptry creating a shortcut on the desktop and use that11:13
yesdupIt may be a fault after updating.11:14
MaxFramesit was doing this also before the update11:15
MaxFramesalso, sometimes I click on XFCE - QUIT and nothing happens until I click it a second time11:15
yesdupSame here with the quit. try using the panel quit button on the right it works for me11:16
MaxFramesanyway... with v6 I couldn't display 1280x1024 (my native monitor resolution) and the display was garbled in OOo... both issues are gone with v7 :)11:17
MaxFrameslooks like they implemented better vcard support11:17
MaxFramesand the removable drives are better supported too11:17
yesdupthere was a similar problem with thunar opening up two instances in the older versions but thaT 6.06 I THINK11:17
benpiccoany Ideas how to get the system using a html proxy with wich it connects to the Internet? It works if i can configure it in the program, but things like apt-get still try to connect directly to the net - so they don't work11:18
TheSheepbenpicco: you can configure it in apt-get too, see man apt.conf11:19

MeneerE(and 4 gb hdd)04:26
PumpernickelHow long did it pause there?04:26
TheSheepMeneerE: you can switch to the second console with alt+f2 and kill that process04:26
MeneerEan hour or three04:26
MeneerEand then i just killed the laptop :/04:27
TheSheepMeneerE: then it will just continue the installation04:27
MeneerEah, and anthy wont be installed, saving precious hdd space? :D04:27
TheSheepMeneerE: list the processes with 'ps' and kill the anthy with 'kill PID', where PID is the number listed in the first column by ps04:28
MeneerEthis is able during the installation? (there is no OS on the laptop yet)04:28
