[07:36] sorry, everytime i show, everyones afk ';) [07:37] mattgyver83: yeah, alot of our regular community members have been busy with real life lately (myself included) ... what's up? [07:37] 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] 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] mattgyver83: www.irssi.org <--- the irc client from the gods [07:37] :) [07:38] i like xchat ;) [07:38] but not the gnome one [07:38] Yeah, and FOR the gods, I'd imagine. I just wanna talk...not get fancy. [07:38] WheelDweller: check out xchat [07:38] mattgyver83, in synaptic, go to your sourced and uncheck the box next to the CDROM [07:39] I imagine a lot of changes have taken place since I was last in IRC. Lotsa new bots, etc. [07:39] WheelDweller, probably [07:39] (I'll be quiet now so you guys can work.) [07:39] WheelDweller: in here? ... shouldn't be, i believe only ubotu is allowed [07:39] ? [07:40] WheelDweller, he means bots === kalikiana [n=kalikian@xdsl-87-78-22-196.netcologne.de] has joined #xubuntu [07:40] ubotu is the only bot allowed in official *buntu irc channels [07:41] 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] Just a sec.... [07:41] yeah eggdrop bots have support for most any language, and most SQL engines now [07:41] Lunis'Away, would you be speaking of in the Third-Party Software tab? [07:42] WheelDweller: i think you are confusing the term 'bot' with the term 'client' [07:42] mattgyver83, hold on, i'll tell you specifically, let me fire it up [07:42] Thank you very much. [07:42] 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) [07:44] 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] 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. [07:45] (The "hostObject auxilliary class". Sounds like Java. :>) [07:46] WheelDweller: can't say i have had any experience with it [07:46] mattgyver83, click Settings->Repositories [07:46] Okay [07:46] 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. [07:47] Is anyone using Compiz/Beryl on a daily basis, yet? [07:47] WheelDweller: yes and no .... [07:48] 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] 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] 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] WheelDweller: but i used each daily for about a month each and it was stable enough to be tollerable [07:49] ...probably too much changing at the same time. Oh, well, it'll get better. [07:49] mattgyver83, did you get it fixed? [07:49] 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] Im actually about to find out, but i think i might have [07:50] hopefully it doesnt crash, ive been having that problem, but it could be due to that [07:51] 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] for some reason when i search for a package, it becomes unresponsive [07:51] 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] 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] Yeah, xfce [07:52] This is my first run with Xubuntu, im use to regular ubuntu [07:52] I had to run DSL prior on this machine, its got some pretty old hardware [07:53] How old? (I've been stranded in a no-tech town...) [07:53] Well.. its a toshiba tecra 8000 Laptop, P2 [07:53] Only 128ram [07:53] mattgyver83: yes, its going to lag horribly [07:54] That much i expect [07:54] but earlier it wasnt doing this [07:54] i think, .... i happend... [07:54] 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] and thus, i never used it again [07:55] now, would i experience horrible lag as well through apt-get? [07:55] (it just found the package) [07:55] Yeah, synaptic's a hog these days. Aptitude's the every day. aye? [07:55] mattgyver83: no, you shouldn't experience lag through apt-get or aptitude [07:55] WheelDweller: yes, i use aptitude daily ... i don't like administering my system from a gui === thomas__ [n=thomas@67-150-254-208.oak.mdsg-pacwest.com] has joined #xubuntu [07:56] but then again linux has been my primary operating system for 8 years [07:56] 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] anyhoo ... bed time [07:56] WheelDweller: not really ... apt-cache and aptitude have wonderful search functions [07:56] Linus'Away; its working perfectly now, thanks for your help on that matter. [07:57] laters all [07:57] Yeah, me too...I think I started in...94? Something like that. Slackware 2.3. Nasty. :> [07:57] Is their anyway to "lighten the load" to reduce some of the lag? [07:58] Memory helps; doing it on a RAID disk helps... [07:58] (both add/remove and synaptic) [07:59] Its really not as bad as i imagined.... for some reason, ubuntu itself just wouldnt work. [07:59] Hmm. [08:00] 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] 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. [08:01] Yeah, if the DSL isn't a fixed address, it's always a pain. [08:01] I still have it, in case xubuntu has some serious issues [08:01] 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. [08:02] Its just so much easier to port things from ubuntu, to xubuntu as opposed to, ubuntu (my desktop os) to dsl... [08:02] I guess thats because they are similar aside from the window manager? [08:02] Xfce vs Gnome? [08:02] Yeah, I'd say so. [08:03] Are you unable to get more memory? [08:03] Other then that its the same cereal, just the one on the bottom shelf with the pelican, as opposed to the tucan [08:03] I can, but i actually just killed this battery, and because its so old its not worth buying upgrades [08:03] I will eventually just buy a new laptop [08:04] this one cost me nothing, and it works better now with linux then it ever did with windows [08:04] Ah; I see- it's a laptop. Yeah, and laptops aren't cheap, even at salvage. And everyone wants one. [08:04] yeah [08:04] and the RAM for it is rare, and not worth the effort [08:04] Well, wait a minute...you've checked eBay? [08:04] the most it can handle is 256 [08:04] Yeah, still a little skimpy. [08:05] yeah [08:05] Really im just trying to learn linux and setup a linux/windows network at home to gain some experience [08:05] 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. [08:06] Well, That i got xubuntu on it im comfortable [08:06] with DSL it was a hassle [08:06] I couldnt just load and be online, i had to run ndiswrapper each time [08:06] and only a handful of programs actually would work on it [08:07] at least here i can use programs and such that im familiar with on ubuntu [08:07] 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] Oh, thats the other thing [08:07] the PCMCIA slot is burnt out on this machine [08:07] Darn. [08:07] so i have to connect wifi, and it has no ethernet slot [08:07] like i said, its a pos [08:07] And let me guess: no built-in. Bummer. [08:07] however, im just trying to make it work [08:07] hell no [08:07] :) [08:08] its like a 12x cdrom drive [08:08] however, since we are on the subject [08:08] Ya know, it's possible your machine is older than mine! :> That makes me feel a tiny bit better. [08:08] do you know of a burning rom that will burn Lightscribe cds? [08:08] how can i prevent media player from starting when i plug in my psp? [08:08] (i have a lightscribe drive on my desktop but have never used it, and ubu doesnt do it neither does VLC) [08:08] but i have some i wanna play with [08:09] I thought I saw one the other day; does Xcdroast? (That's such a new feature, I have no idea...) [08:09] I found something, but was unable to get it to work [08:09] For my next trick, i need to learn what works on what distros, and what doesnt === sutabi [n=sutabi@ip70-181-136-127.sd.sd.cox.net] has left #xubuntu [] [08:09] It's pretty new tech...and so likely to be problematic. [08:10] Ive been told some apps work on all, and some dont, but i dont know how to determine [08:10] However im also running Familiar/Opie on my Palm Lifedrive and have learned that nothing works on that .... [08:10] Which i dont even know if thats a linux distro or not, its not on any timeline ive seen [08:10] 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. [08:11] 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] no, its usb [08:11] Its wifi and bluetooth capable which is awesome [08:11] I always thought the "V" was the future, but they backed outta that product. Oh, well. Yeah, that sounds great! [08:12] 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] and doesnt have wifi capabilities yet [08:12] 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] So, i still use Palm OS more often [08:13] 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] I really wish they'd have licensed the handwriting long ago; make it cheap and the whole world would be using it. [08:13] however, with linux on the lifedrive being so slow ... its of no use [08:14] Yeah...unless....VMWare? [08:14] i have to use documents to go instead of Open Office, which D2G doesnt port over .xls documents as well [08:14] Whats VMware? [08:14] A way to run a carefully-controlled instance of [insert Windows version here] on top of Linux. Makes it all nice and safe. [08:15] I'm assuming the Pilot needs to connect to a desktop, though... [08:15] Well... [08:15] Yes and no? [08:15] If you want to sync with a lifedrive you can upload to the internet and download if need be [08:15] however it would be much more efficiant if you could plug in and synch [08:16] But i am assuming that VMware is for a desktop, not mobile managers/pdas/smartphones [08:17] 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. === jbrouhard [n=jbrouhar@24.121.169.166] has joined #xubuntu [08:17] And yeah...desktop; sorry. [08:17] What's a good wifi manager for xubuntu ?

[08:18] your using iwconfig ? [08:18] or iwlist [08:18] ? [08:18] Well, you could learn Zenity, put it all in a cute little script. [08:18] (And then under a single icon) [08:18] iwconfig [08:18] Okay, to connect [08:19] i use iwlist only if i don't know the access point SSID :) [08:19] I need something to show me available networks and signal strenght [08:19] mattgyver83: same here [08:19] I was able to use knetwork manager for that [08:19] in xubuntu? [08:19] Yeah [08:19] Okay [08:19] i had instlled kubuntu first, then xfce-desktop [08:20] 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...

[09:06] mattgyver83, do you just want to add a shortcut? [09:06] or are you trying to install a new program? [09:07] shortcut [09:08] 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] Then just make a new one with mousepad. [09:09] and it'll appear in the menu. You might have to refresh the desktop. [09:09] Okay, thanks!

What's going on? [02:01] how do you check your logs? [02:01] Wankus: looks like root su-ed to jim [02:02] a user with sudo could have: sudo su jim [02:03] pleia2: jim has no administer privileges. Jim is completely inept with computers! [02:03] Wankus: right, he didn't do the su command, someone used su to become jim [02:03] s/someone/someone with sudo [02:03] the only person who can use sudo is me, and I was asleep at that time! [02:04] ah, interesting :) [02:04] have i been hacked? [02:07] I read recently there was an exploit to sudo yourself in UbuntU I THINK i JUST SKIMPED BY THE TITLE [02:07] I didn't look into it [02:08] You got the link JRL01192? [02:09] sorry it was around one those hack sites like astalavista or something around there [02:09] I usually go around there to learn Programing [02:09] ah ok, [02:10] but I am not 100% sure [02:10] Ok, I'll check it thanks [02:11] Wankus: you can also check all the cron jobs on the machine, there might be a valid reason for root becoming the jim user [02:12] 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. [02:13] These are the lines from auth.log anyway: [02:13] Aug 7 09:29:22 Main-PC su[26519] : Successful su for jim root [02:13] Aug 7 09:29:22 Main-PC su[26519] : + ??? root:jim [02:14] Aug 7 09:29:22 Main-PC su[26519] : (pam_unix) session opened for user jim (uid=0) [02:14] Wankus: you can browse /etc/cron.d (and cron.daily/ , hourly, monthly, weekly) [02:14] also: sudo crontab -u root -l [02:14] ok, I'll check that [02:14] what does the " sudo crontab -u root -l" do? [02:15] -u == user; -l == list [02:15] so you list the crontab entries for user root [02:15] ok ta [02:16] " sudo crontab -u root -l" gives "no crontab for root" [02:16] Wankus: yeah, that's normal [02:16] just one of the places to check :) [02:16] true, thanks [02:18] 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. [02:19] that's good :) [02:20] But I'm stil a bit worried, I've gone a bit paranoid these days [02:21] you should be with all the hacking activity going on in Russia and it's recent attacks on the web [02:22] Really? Didn't know about that. [02:23] Now I'm even more worried, :( [02:23] :-P [02:24] JRL01192: stop scaring people :) [02:24] lol, Is there anyway I can upload the relevant parts of the file, so that I can post it here?
