| WheelDweller | Catching up on my reading... | 07:36 |
| mattgyver83 | sorry, everytime i show, everyones afk ';) | 07:36 |
| maxamillion | mattgyver83: yeah, alot of our regular community members have been busy with real life lately (myself included) ... what's up? | 07:37 |
| WheelDweller | This is my first time here...not new to Linux, but very new to IRC. And, I'm using GAIM. We'll see how that goes. | 07:37 |
| mattgyver83 | im having a problem with synaptic in Xubuntu, it continues to prompt me to load the Xubuntu CD into the drive to install packages. | 07:37 |
| maxamillion | mattgyver83: www.irssi.org <--- the irc client from the gods | 07:37 |
| maxamillion | :) | 07:37 |
| Lunis`Away | i like xchat ;) | 07:38 |
| Lunis`Away | but not the gnome one | 07:38 |
| WheelDweller | Yeah, and FOR the gods, I'd imagine. I just wanna talk...not get fancy. | 07:38 |
| maxamillion | WheelDweller: check out xchat | 07:38 |
| Lunis`Away | mattgyver83, in synaptic, go to your sourced and uncheck the box next to the CDROM | 07:38 |
| WheelDweller | I imagine a lot of changes have taken place since I was last in IRC. Lotsa new bots, etc. | 07:39 |
| Lunis`Away | WheelDweller, probably | 07:39 |
| WheelDweller | (I'll be quiet now so you guys can work.) | 07:39 |

| maxamillion | ubotu is the only bot allowed in official *buntu irc channels | 07:40 |
| WheelDweller | Well, I was thinking about all the developments to various bots (not specifically here) since I was on. I was using Xchat, I think, last time....or Ksirc. Been years. | 07:41 |
| WheelDweller | Just a sec.... | 07:41 |
| Lunis`Away | yeah eggdrop bots have support for most any language, and most SQL engines now | 07:41 |
| mattgyver83 | Lunis'Away, would you be speaking of in the Third-Party Software tab? | 07:41 |
| maxamillion | WheelDweller: i think you are confusing the term 'bot' with the term 'client' | 07:42 |
| Lunis`Away | mattgyver83, hold on, i'll tell you specifically, let me fire it up | 07:42 |
| mattgyver83 | Thank you very much. | 07:42 |
| WheelDweller | OK, back. Not specifically- just pointing out that a lot of development has gone 'under the bridge' since I was last on, and that makes it a new world for me. (Here, or otherwise) | 07:42 |
| WheelDweller | I just came tonight to get the lay of the land- I *hope* I'm about to get a lot more professional Linux time, soon. I figured it was time to 'join up' as it were with the other developers. | 07:44 |
| WheelDweller | Has anyone worked out the "HostObject" thing in LDAP? I just want to patch my LDAP, then document it, and start making copies for various clients in the future. | 07:44 |
| WheelDweller | (The "hostObject auxilliary class". Sounds like Java. :>) | 07:45 |
| maxamillion | WheelDweller: can't say i have had any experience with it | 07:46 |
| Lunis`Away | mattgyver83, click Settings->Repositories | 07:46 |
| mattgyver83 | Okay | 07:46 |
| WheelDweller | It's very interesting...yet another server to config; it's a clever little thing....but it's SO very flexible it's hard to learn. At least for me. | 07:46 |
| WheelDweller | Is anyone using Compiz/Beryl on a daily basis, yet? | 07:47 |
| maxamillion | WheelDweller: yes and no .... | 07:47 |
| maxamillion | WheelDweller: i used _old_ beryl for a while, then it annoyed me .. then i tried new beryl and used it for a while but then it annoyed me ... | 07:48 |
| WheelDweller | I was just thinking that if it was "demo ready" it'd be nice to set it up and show off. I understand the time it takes to make these things work...look how long Enlightenment version....17? has been in the works. :> | 07:48 |
| Lunis`Away | WheelDweller, I was in Feisty, and it worked pretty good. I am on Gutsy now and it DOES NOT WORK at all... or at least not very well :) | 07:48 |
| maxamillion | WheelDweller: but i used each daily for about a month each and it was stable enough to be tollerable | 07:48 |
| WheelDweller | ...probably too much changing at the same time. Oh, well, it'll get better. | 07:49 |
| Lunis`Away | mattgyver83, did you get it fixed? | 07:49 |
| maxamillion | Lunis`Away: well beryl is dead and compiz is going to re-release as 'compiz fusion' because they are merging all the code right now | 07:49 |
| mattgyver83 | Im actually about to find out, but i think i might have | 07:49 |
| mattgyver83 | hopefully it doesnt crash, ive been having that problem, but it could be due to that | 07:50 |
| Lunis`Away | D: now i have to re get used to things again. curse it all. oh well, i'm quite good with xfce compositioning. simple, unintrusive, and still sexy | 07:51 |
| mattgyver83 | for some reason when i search for a package, it becomes unresponsive | 07:51 |
| Lunis`Away | mattgyver83, in xfce? mine does that too for a minute. will hang after i enter a password in gksu for like 3 minutes :x | 07:51 |
| mattgyver83 | Though, earlier, i was able to search and find the package in question. The only issue was that it was telling me to install via cdrom | 07:51 |
| mattgyver83 | Yeah, xfce | 07:51 |
| mattgyver83 | This is my first run with Xubuntu, im use to regular ubuntu | 07:52 |
| mattgyver83 | I had to run DSL prior on this machine, its got some pretty old hardware | 07:52 |
| WheelDweller | How old? (I've been stranded in a no-tech town...) | 07:53 |
| mattgyver83 | Well.. its a toshiba tecra 8000 Laptop, P2 | 07:53 |
| mattgyver83 | Only 128ram | 07:53 |
| maxamillion | mattgyver83: yes, its going to lag horribly | 07:53 |
| mattgyver83 | That much i expect | 07:54 |
| mattgyver83 | but earlier it wasnt doing this | 07:54 |
| mattgyver83 | i think, .... i happend... | 07:54 |
| maxamillion | mattgyver83: i have only ever used synaptic once and it was just to see how good it was .... on an athlon64 3200+ w/ 1gb of ram i wanted to cry at how horribly it lagged | 07:54 |
| maxamillion | and thus, i never used it again | 07:54 |
| mattgyver83 | now, would i experience horrible lag as well through apt-get? | 07:55 |
| mattgyver83 | (it just found the package) | 07:55 |
| WheelDweller | Yeah, synaptic's a hog these days. Aptitude's the every day. aye? | 07:55 |
| maxamillion | mattgyver83: no, you shouldn't experience lag through apt-get or aptitude | 07:55 |
| maxamillion | WheelDweller: yes, i use aptitude daily ... i don't like administering my system from a gui | 07:55 |

| maxamillion | but then again linux has been my primary operating system for 8 years | 07:56 |
| WheelDweller | Once in a while, I do; it's easier to look for applications from the add/remove panel, but even then it's a slow process. | 07:56 |
| maxamillion | anyhoo ... bed time | 07:56 |
| maxamillion | WheelDweller: not really ... apt-cache and aptitude have wonderful search functions | 07:56 |
| mattgyver83 | Linus'Away; its working perfectly now, thanks for your help on that matter. | 07:56 |
| maxamillion | laters all | 07:57 |
| WheelDweller | Yeah, me too...I think I started in...94? Something like that. Slackware 2.3. Nasty. :> | 07:57 |
| mattgyver83 | Is their anyway to "lighten the load" to reduce some of the lag? | 07:57 |
| WheelDweller | Memory helps; doing it on a RAID disk helps... | 07:58 |
| WheelDweller | (both add/remove and synaptic) | 07:58 |
| mattgyver83 | Its really not as bad as i imagined.... for some reason, ubuntu itself just wouldnt work. | 07:59 |
| WheelDweller | Hmm. | 07:59 |
| mattgyver83 | Im pretty new to linux, so i dont know if it had anything to do with Gnome or what. DSL i was able to configure but its a pain in the butt to maintain. | 08:00 |
| WheelDweller | I just put Dapper in my trailer; someone left a Celeron 400 out on the stoop...I stripped it, it's fanless, and right now it's the "avionics" of my trailer. Sweet little deal. Right now it just turns on a fan when the hardware closet gets too hot, but later it'll be fun. | 08:00 |
| WheelDweller | Yeah, if the DSL isn't a fixed address, it's always a pain. | 08:01 |
| mattgyver83 | I still have it, in case xubuntu has some serious issues | 08:01 |
| WheelDweller | If you're curious, it's at http://CounterMoon.org, in the gallery- the latest pictures. It's been a long, long project, but some fun along the way, too. | 08:01 |
| mattgyver83 | Its just so much easier to port things from ubuntu, to xubuntu as opposed to, ubuntu (my desktop os) to dsl... | 08:02 |
| mattgyver83 | I guess thats because they are similar aside from the window manager? | 08:02 |
| mattgyver83 | Xfce vs Gnome? | 08:02 |
| WheelDweller | Yeah, I'd say so. | 08:02 |
| WheelDweller | Are you unable to get more memory? | 08:03 |
| mattgyver83 | Other then that its the same cereal, just the one on the bottom shelf with the pelican, as opposed to the tucan | 08:03 |
| mattgyver83 | I can, but i actually just killed this battery, and because its so old its not worth buying upgrades | 08:03 |
| mattgyver83 | I will eventually just buy a new laptop | 08:03 |
| mattgyver83 | this one cost me nothing, and it works better now with linux then it ever did with windows | 08:04 |
| WheelDweller | Ah; I see- it's a laptop. Yeah, and laptops aren't cheap, even at salvage. And everyone wants one. | 08:04 |
| mattgyver83 | yeah | 08:04 |
| mattgyver83 | and the RAM for it is rare, and not worth the effort | 08:04 |
| WheelDweller | Well, wait a minute...you've checked eBay? | 08:04 |
| mattgyver83 | the most it can handle is 256 | 08:04 |
| WheelDweller | Yeah, still a little skimpy. | 08:04 |
| mattgyver83 | yeah | 08:05 |
| mattgyver83 | Really im just trying to learn linux and setup a linux/windows network at home to gain some experience | 08:05 |
| WheelDweller | This one has 512, but to use much of it, I have to keep all my desktop apps open, then play UnrealTournament, too. Sounds like you're on the right machine, at the right time, though. | 08:05 |
| mattgyver83 | Well, That i got xubuntu on it im comfortable | 08:06 |
| mattgyver83 | with DSL it was a hassle | 08:06 |
| mattgyver83 | I couldnt just load and be online, i had to run ndiswrapper each time | 08:06 |
| mattgyver83 | and only a handful of programs actually would work on it | 08:06 |
| mattgyver83 | at least here i can use programs and such that im familiar with on ubuntu | 08:07 |
| WheelDweller | Well, a $50 router-box might remove the hassle- one of those 'whole house' routers? Then it's easy on the laptop, just plugging into ethernet. | 08:07 |
| mattgyver83 | Oh, thats the other thing | 08:07 |
| mattgyver83 | the PCMCIA slot is burnt out on this machine | 08:07 |
| WheelDweller | Darn. | 08:07 |
| mattgyver83 | so i have to connect wifi, and it has no ethernet slot | 08:07 |
| mattgyver83 | like i said, its a pos | 08:07 |
| WheelDweller | And let me guess: no built-in. Bummer. | 08:07 |
| mattgyver83 | however, im just trying to make it work | 08:07 |
| mattgyver83 | hell no | 08:07 |
| WheelDweller | :) | 08:07 |
| mattgyver83 | its like a 12x cdrom drive | 08:08 |
| mattgyver83 | however, since we are on the subject | 08:08 |
| WheelDweller | Ya know, it's possible your machine is older than mine! :> That makes me feel a tiny bit better. | 08:08 |
| mattgyver83 | do you know of a burning rom that will burn Lightscribe cds? | 08:08 |
| Lunis`Away | how can i prevent media player from starting when i plug in my psp? | 08:08 |
| mattgyver83 | (i have a lightscribe drive on my desktop but have never used it, and ubu doesnt do it neither does VLC) | 08:08 |
| mattgyver83 | but i have some i wanna play with | 08:08 |
| WheelDweller | I thought I saw one the other day; does Xcdroast? (That's such a new feature, I have no idea...) | 08:09 |
| mattgyver83 | I found something, but was unable to get it to work | 08:09 |
| mattgyver83 | For my next trick, i need to learn what works on what distros, and what doesnt | 08:09 |
| === sutabi [n=sutabi@ip70-181-136-127.sd.sd.cox.net] has left #xubuntu [] | ||
| WheelDweller | It's pretty new tech...and so likely to be problematic. | 08:09 |
| mattgyver83 | Ive been told some apps work on all, and some dont, but i dont know how to determine | 08:10 |
| mattgyver83 | However im also running Familiar/Opie on my Palm Lifedrive and have learned that nothing works on that .... | 08:10 |
| mattgyver83 | Which i dont even know if thats a linux distro or not, its not on any timeline ive seen | 08:10 |
| WheelDweller | On the same hardware, most (like 95%) of the apps should work the same. But when it comes to hardware things, that's where the most changes are. | 08:10 |
| WheelDweller | Does your Palm not have a serial connection? (I have a couple of V's here, but they're very, very tired- and wanted something newer....) | 08:11 |
| mattgyver83 | no, its usb | 08:11 |
| mattgyver83 | Its wifi and bluetooth capable which is awesome | 08:11 |
| WheelDweller | I always thought the "V" was the future, but they backed outta that product. Oh, well. Yeah, that sounds great! | 08:11 |
| mattgyver83 | Its really cool, however right now the thing that sucks is that the linux distro that is *in the works* is really slow and unstable | 08:12 |
| mattgyver83 | and doesnt have wifi capabilities yet | 08:12 |
| WheelDweller | I was using mine as a security guard. Fabulous. I could take notes while not even looking at the screen, and the handwriting was always perfect, when it was done, 'cause it was text. My boss probably misses it, now. | 08:12 |
| mattgyver83 | So, i still use Palm OS more often | 08:12 |
| mattgyver83 | I make spreadsheet trackers for my work and can use them on windows, but i want a version that i can also use on linux, making them portable and *to the minute* accurate | 08:13 |
| WheelDweller | I really wish they'd have licensed the handwriting long ago; make it cheap and the whole world would be using it. | 08:13 |
| mattgyver83 | however, with linux on the lifedrive being so slow ... its of no use | 08:13 |
| WheelDweller | Yeah...unless....VMWare? | 08:14 |
| mattgyver83 | i have to use documents to go instead of Open Office, which D2G doesnt port over .xls documents as well | 08:14 |
| mattgyver83 | Whats VMware? | 08:14 |
| WheelDweller | A way to run a carefully-controlled instance of [insert Windows version here] on top of Linux. Makes it all nice and safe. | 08:14 |
| WheelDweller | I'm assuming the Pilot needs to connect to a desktop, though... | 08:15 |
| mattgyver83 | Well... | 08:15 |
| mattgyver83 | Yes and no? | 08:15 |
| mattgyver83 | If you want to sync with a lifedrive you can upload to the internet and download if need be | 08:15 |
| mattgyver83 | however it would be much more efficiant if you could plug in and synch | 08:15 |
| mattgyver83 | But i am assuming that VMware is for a desktop, not mobile managers/pdas/smartphones | 08:16 |
| WheelDweller | The nice thing about VMWare, other than the price, is that you can 'cage' an instance of Windows...and actually keep it from freaking out due to a virus. It has a 'persistant disk' that you can remove all kinds of important system files, muck it up good, then "reboot" the window, and it's all back to the way it was. Fabulous. | 08:17 |

| WheelDweller | And yeah...desktop; sorry. | 08:17 |
| jbrouhard | What's a good wifi manager for xubuntu ? | 08:17 |
| mattgyver83 | jbrouhard; let me know if you find out! | 08:17 |
| WheelDweller | Hmm. Good question. | 08:17 |
| === jbrouhard is running it on the laptop and could use a decent gui | ||
| mattgyver83 | Thats also on my list of things to do.... | 08:17 |
| jbrouhard | heh | 08:17 |
| jbrouhard | Currently i'm using command line sudo iwconfig but I'd prefer a gui to keep it simple when I need to | 08:17 |
| WheelDweller | I was just going to set it up, on my little box in the trailer....'hard code' the thing. | 08:18 |
| mattgyver83 | your using iwconfig ? | 08:18 |
| mattgyver83 | or iwlist | 08:18 |
| mattgyver83 | ? | 08:18 |
| WheelDweller | Well, you could learn Zenity, put it all in a cute little script. | 08:18 |
| WheelDweller | (And then under a single icon) | 08:18 |
| jbrouhard | iwconfig | 08:18 |
| mattgyver83 | Okay, to connect | 08:18 |
| jbrouhard | i use iwlist only if i don't know the access point SSID :) | 08:19 |
| mattgyver83 | I need something to show me available networks and signal strenght | 08:19 |
| jbrouhard | mattgyver83: same here | 08:19 |
| jbrouhard | I was able to use knetwork manager for that | 08:19 |
| mattgyver83 | in xubuntu? | 08:19 |
| jbrouhard | Yeah | 08:19 |
| mattgyver83 | Okay | 08:19 |
| jbrouhard | i had instlled kubuntu first, then xfce-desktop | 08:19 |
| WheelDweller | If you could work out the underlying script to make that happen in bash (or whatever) you could have Zenity dress it up for you... | 08:20 |
| mattgyver83 | I wish someone made a firefox wifi extension that works for linux | 08:20 |
| mattgyver83 | their is one for windows | 08:20 |
| mattgyver83 | that would be awesome | 08:20 |
| jbrouhard | heh | 08:20 |
| jbrouhard | mattgyver83: try network-manager ? | 08:20 |
| mattgyver83 | okay | 08:20 |
| mattgyver83 | no | 08:20 |
| mattgyver83 | todays my first day on xubuntu | 08:21 |
| mattgyver83 | but i will check | 08:21 |
| mattgyver83 | anything i can find will work | 08:21 |

| mattgyver83 | that was a tad redundant | 08:24 |

| mattgyver83 | How do you add programs to the applications menu? Can this be done without add/remove? | 08:59 |
| BrendanM | mattgyver83, do you just want to add a shortcut? | 09:06 |
| BrendanM | or are you trying to install a new program? | 09:06 |
| mattgyver83 | shortcut | 09:07 |
| BrendanM | Unfortunately the menu editor in Xubuntu doesn't work well, so your best bet is to go to /usr/share/applications and create a new *****.desktop file there. You can look at some of the existing shortcuts to see how to format it correctly. | 09:08 |
| BrendanM | Then just make a new one with mousepad. | 09:08 |
| BrendanM | and it'll appear in the menu. You might have to refresh the desktop. | 09:09 |

| Wankus | I was checking my auth.log today and I spotted this: "Main-PC su[26519] : Successful su for jim by root", unfortunately jim has no administer privileges. What's going on? | 02:00 |
| JRL01192 | how do you check your logs? | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | Wankus: looks like root su-ed to jim | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | a user with sudo could have: sudo su jim | 02:02 |
| Wankus | pleia2: jim has no administer privileges. Jim is completely inept with computers! | 02:03 |
| pleia2 | Wankus: right, he didn't do the su command, someone used su to become jim | 02:03 |
| pleia2 | s/someone/someone with sudo | 02:03 |
| Wankus | the only person who can use sudo is me, and I was asleep at that time! | 02:03 |
| pleia2 | ah, interesting :) | 02:04 |
| Wankus | have i been hacked? | 02:04 |
| JRL01192 | I read recently there was an exploit to sudo yourself in UbuntU I THINK i JUST SKIMPED BY THE TITLE | 02:07 |
| JRL01192 | I didn't look into it | 02:07 |
| Wankus | You got the link JRL01192? | 02:08 |
| JRL01192 | sorry it was around one those hack sites like astalavista or something around there | 02:09 |
| JRL01192 | I usually go around there to learn Programing | 02:09 |
| Wankus | ah ok, | 02:09 |
| JRL01192 | but I am not 100% sure | 02:10 |
| Wankus | Ok, I'll check it thanks | 02:10 |
| pleia2 | Wankus: you can also check all the cron jobs on the machine, there might be a valid reason for root becoming the jim user | 02:11 |
| Wankus | pleia2: How would I check that? I've checked my auth.logs and so far I haven't ever seen jim (or any other user) becoming root before. | 02:12 |
| Wankus | These are the lines from auth.log anyway: | 02:13 |
| Wankus | Aug 7 09:29:22 Main-PC su[26519] : Successful su for jim root | 02:13 |
| Wankus | Aug 7 09:29:22 Main-PC su[26519] : + ??? root:jim | 02:13 |
| Wankus | Aug 7 09:29:22 Main-PC su[26519] : (pam_unix) session opened for user jim (uid=0) | 02:14 |
| pleia2 | Wankus: you can browse /etc/cron.d (and cron.daily/ , hourly, monthly, weekly) | 02:14 |
| pleia2 | also: sudo crontab -u root -l | 02:14 |
| Wankus | ok, I'll check that | 02:14 |
| Wankus | what does the " sudo crontab -u root -l" do? | 02:14 |
| pleia2 | -u == user; -l == list | 02:15 |
| pleia2 | so you list the crontab entries for user root | 02:15 |
| Wankus | ok ta | 02:15 |
| Wankus | " sudo crontab -u root -l" gives "no crontab for root" | 02:16 |
| pleia2 | Wankus: yeah, that's normal | 02:16 |
| pleia2 | just one of the places to check :) | 02:16 |
| Wankus | true, thanks | 02:16 |
| Wankus | Ok, I don't think someody hacked me over the internet because I just remembered my modem was disconnected from the internet at that time. | 02:18 |
| pleia2 | that's good :) | 02:19 |
| Wankus | But I'm stil a bit worried, I've gone a bit paranoid these days | 02:20 |
| JRL01192 | you should be with all the hacking activity going on in Russia and it's recent attacks on the web | 02:21 |
| Wankus | Really? Didn't know about that. | 02:22 |
| Wankus | Now I'm even more worried, :( | 02:23 |
| JRL01192 | :-P | 02:23 |
| pleia2 | JRL01192: stop scaring people :) | 02:24 |
| Wankus | lol, Is there anyway I can upload the relevant parts of the file, so that I can post it here? Like imageshack but for text files? | 02:24 |
| pleia2 | !pastebin | 02:25 |
| ubotu | 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) | 02:25 |
| Wankus | Ta | 02:26 |
| Wankus | back in a jiffy | 02:26 |
| JRL01192 | scaring people, just be glad for me not going into details :-X | 02:26 |
| JRL01192 | glad of me* | 02:27 |
| Wankus | Here we go - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32914/ | 02:32 |
| Wankus | The bit I'm, concerned about starts from line 27 | 02:34 |
| Wankus | So is there something fishy going on there or am I just being a tad too batshit? | 02:45 |

| jwishnie | view of GTK documentation suggests this should be automatic, Has anyone seen this? | 09:02 |
| maxamillion | jwishnie: just a moment, let me check a couple things ... i have very little experience with GtkFileChooser | 09:04 |
| maxamillion | jwishnie: oooh, you mean from inside applications? | 09:04 |
| jwishnie | correct | 09:05 |
| jwishnie | to reproduce, insert a USB key | 09:05 |
| jwishnie | notice that it appears on desktop and in Thunar places bar (left side) | 09:05 |
| maxamillion | jwishnie: right | 09:05 |
| jwishnie | According to GNOME docs, it _should_ appear in Open/Save panel (GtkFileChooser) from applications | 09:06 |
| jwishnie | Open 'Mousepad', choose 'Save' | 09:06 |
| jwishnie | note that the USB stick does not appear in the places section on left | 09:06 |

| hyper_ch | well, that's what I noticed... mine doesn't show in konqueror before I haven't it accressed first by thunar | 11:06 |
