[06:17] sorta manual.... [06:17] Chikubu: 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 clicks [06:17] there is a tool [06:18] not usb, though i have a usb parrellal port [06:18] what kind of printer? [06:18] its a very odd printer, not standard, its wide format [06:18] (please dont say lexmark) [06:19] prints up to 54inches wide, feet long hp designjet 3500cp [06:19] Chikubu, the driver is available via the config tool [06:20] were is the config tool [06:21] *printing [06:21] oh im looking at that, thougth u meant another, so i manualy add the printer [06:22] when it asks for location, what do i put? under win/dos it would be lp1 [06:22] um... === vidd_bricktop left that blank [06:23] its is not a usb printer [06:23] i know [06:24] but it IS going through your usb port [06:24] Chikubu: that's fine ... it doesn't have to be, the printer setup tool will work with parallel printers [06:24] the location would be like "upsatirs" "in the basement" [06:25] O lol i thought it wanted were it was connected [06:26] guess "human readalbe" should have clued me in [06:29] mine says "baby's momma's youngest son's room [06:29] =] [06:30] mine's in the loft, about broke my back getting it up here hehe [06:31] u sure i can pull the pci card with out a reboot?

[06:32] i think the modem might be using irq 5 which might be interfering with the hardware detctin of the sound card isa [06:32] like "crack the case, unscrew the screw, " yank the pci?

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 [10:18] Sorry meant to say i HAVEN'T set up a rd server === gabkdlly [n=gabriel@dslb-088-073-034-130.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #xubuntu [10:20] I'd check your keyboard for stuck keys / shorted keys / messed up connections first. [10:21] Xubuntu doesn't ship with any remote access server software, which makes 'hacking' it a bit unrealistic. [10:21] Ok no remote desktop so scratch that idea. [10:22] The keboar is fine, i have checked. and it work 100% under windows. [10:25] but 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. [10:30] Firehol is just a graphical rules-builder - it produces a working configuration for iptables, which is implemented in the kernel. [10:30] It doesn't actually have to be running for the filtering rules to be in effect. [10:40] pumpernickel 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? [10:44] Oh by the way "Firehol is just a graphical rules-builder" it incorrect.

[10:49] I just booted again (for the n.th time) and this time the problem has gone... === benpicco [n=administ@p54B464A4.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #xubuntu [11:02] Max 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. [11:03] no clue, sorry [11:04] anyway... I installed xubuntu to learn something about Linux... this self-solved problem didn't leave much room for learning though :P [11:04] what was the problem? unknown. how was it fixed? unknown. [11:04] anyway v7 is sooooo much better than v6! :) [11:05] even faster on my old PC [11:05] if 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] hey, as you mention a firewall, how can I get xubuntu using one for alle internet related stuff? [11:06] well, it more a proxy [11:06] yesdup: looks like someone is doing stuff to your system [11:07] like a remote desktop session... and his "1" key is sticky :P [11:07] Thats what i think too. [11:07] try to trace him [11:08] but there is no RD server with xubuntu apparently. and i haven't installed one. [11:08] I'm not into Linux enough to be sure, but I guess there are so many ways one can make stuff appear on your edit boxes [11:09] I 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. [11:10] So i figure that my firewall isn't starting soon enough [11:10] fiesty xubuntu is good isn't it.:d [11:11] better than v6 [11:11] any idea why the terminal window is opened TWICE when I launch it from the X menu the first time? [11:12] I log in, I start the terminal from the XFCE menu, and it is opened twice (two terminal windows) [11:12] if I close both windows and launch terminal again, only one window opens [11:12] Your not double clicking? [11:12] no [11:13] it did this with v.6 and it's still doing it after the upgrade to v7 [11:13] Just the first time. On every session. [11:13] correct. [11:13] another weirdness.... [11:13] try creating a shortcut on the desktop and use that [11:14] It may be a fault after updating. [11:15] it was doing this also before the update [11:15] also, sometimes I click on XFCE - QUIT and nothing happens until I click it a second time [11:16] Same here with the quit. try using the panel quit button on the right it works for me [11:17] anyway... 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] looks like they implemented better vcard support [11:17] and the removable drives are better supported too [11:17] there was a similar problem with thunar opening up two instances in the older versions but thaT 6.06 I THINK [11:18] any 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 work [11:19] benpicco: you can configure it in apt-get too, see man apt.conf [11:19] MaxFrames: Bug #65720 [11:19] Launchpad bug 65720 in xfdesktop4 "Quit-button in desktop menu in Xfce does not always work" [Undecided,Needs info] https://launchpad.net/bugs/65720 [11:20] TheSheep: but do I have to this this for *every* single program? ping, nmap. wget, $you_name_it?

(the newest version, i believe it's called feisty fawn) [04:25] Possibly - details? [04:25] it keeps halting at the configuration/installation of "anthy" [04:25] the chinese character input [04:25] -which i dont need, by the way- [04:26] using the alternate installation because i'm trying it out on a celeron laptop with 64 mb memory [04:26] (and 4 gb hdd) [04:26] How long did it pause there? [04:26] MeneerE: you can switch to the second console with alt+f2 and kill that process [04:26] an hour or three [04:27] and then i just killed the laptop :/ [04:27] MeneerE: then it will just continue the installation [04:27] ah, and anthy wont be installed, saving precious hdd space? :D [04:28] MeneerE: list the processes with 'ps' and kill the anthy with 'kill PID', where PID is the number listed in the first column by ps [04:28] this is able during the installation? (there is no OS on the laptop yet) [04:28] possible * [04:29] MeneerE: yes [04:29] cool, thanks [04:29] MeneerE: alt+f2 will give you a second console [04:29] going to initialise the installation then [04:29] (attempt 3, 3rd time lucky?) [04:32] is it possible to change the keyboard layout later on? (i'm unsure if its US english) [04:34] MeneerE, yes...there is a tool to change keyboard layout [04:36] yaay for linux then [04:37] i thought installing it would be harder [04:37] and weirdish [04:37] MeneerE, do you have a "qwerty" keyboard? [04:37] yes === MeneerE is dutch [04:38] so i guess thats mostly standard us english [04:39] MeneerE, then it is 95% likely that you have standard us english [04:39] is this a laptop or a desktop?
