nikolamJust to make shure is it gutsy or your install00:32
nikolamsquirrelpimp,00:32
squirrelpimpactually i was just playing with it for a paper i have to write for university00:33
nikolamwhat command were you using and you think it does not work?00:33
squirrelpimpi ran several variations of "dsniff -n -i eth0" and then issued http requests00:33
nikolamMaybe I can try it here00:33
squirrelpimpcontaining user/pass authentication information00:33
nikolamlet me try00:34
squirrelpimpi'm not sure if this is supposed to work, thanks for your effort so far,00:34
squirrelpimpi'm booting into bt2 in a vmware right now to see what i get there00:34
nikolamjust a sec, it seems that 80% of my logins are https :)00:36
nikolamlooking for http one :)00:36
squirrelpimp:)00:36

squirrelpimpmy xserver just crashed... no the real one00:39
squirrelpimpcrap00:39
squirrelpimpi hit the wrong keys00:39
squirrelpimp:)00:39
nikolamYou could report if you think it`s a bug, to launchpad.00:39
nikolamI dodn`t used to use dsniff before btw00:39
squirrelpimptheres a bug already, i also mentioned my confirmation earlier but as i need that for university i just asked here and i might mention there, that another xubuntu-user saw that too00:41
nikolamok :)00:43
nikolamI just hope that we are using the right command for dsniff00:43
squirrelpimpyes, it worked instantly on bt200:44
squirrelpimpbtw... there was that tool to resize and move windows in a script?00:44
squirrelpimpi'd like to distribute autostarted applications at login time automagically00:45

gerrohello11:54
gerrocherva: did you just install 7.04? latest xubuntu version is 7.1011:55
gerrocherva: I don't know what to say seeing as you compiled alsa yourself, hmm perhaps a cord is plugged in wrong or there is a short11:55
chervagerro i tryed with headphones the noise is still there and it starts when xubuntu is loading so there must be something to do with the drivers11:57
chervatried*11:57
gerroare you sure your plugged into the headphone jack?11:57
cherva:) yes11:57
gerromine has several and some work but sound odd11:57
gerrocherva: is your computer a custom one or does it have a model code?11:58
chervayou mean  description: Low Profile Desktop Computer11:59
cherva    product: OptiPlex G1 350L+11:59
cherva    vendor: Dell Computer Corporation11:59

gerroyeah optiplex something sounds like that's it11:59
chervabut the sound isn't integrated  its on PCI11:59
gerrosounds like most computers12:01
chervalshw comes out with this http://pastebin.com/m47c8da7f  for multimedia12:01
gerrodamn everything I google on this thing isn't in english12:01

gerrodo you get any errors when you do "/etc/init.d/alsa restart"12:05
chervahttp://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d1f987d36 nothing interesting12:05
gerroah rev 03 just like some people have on forum12:05
chervaOMG how does my sister have sound on alsa restart i get bash: alsa: command not found12:06
gerroperhaps your not using alsa12:07
chervaalsamixer finds my card12:07
chervaoss has the same problem i tried it12:07
gerrohmm on gutsy that doesn't work either12:08
gerroguess its only older ubuntu12:08
gerroif you can restart the sound daemon in terminal though you could pinpoint any flaws12:08
gerrooh also check dmesg see if it has any listings about your sound card12:08

lightwisehello, i got a question, i just installed xubuntu and im tired of my monitor shutting off after 15 minutes, and i can't find the power management settings to turn this off, any suggestions plz?12:10
chervaApps-> Settings -> screensaver preferences -> in display modes look for blank after and in advanced look for display power managment12:12
gerrolightwise: you  mean the screensaver? does it have any power management options in the bios?12:12
lightwisei went to the screensaver menu, and there is no advanced.12:13
gerroyeah no advanced here either12:13
lightwiseive been searching for a while now.12:13
gerrois this a desktop computer?12:14
lightwiseya12:14
gerrotry turning off acpi12:14
lightwisei am in xfce and they are telling me there isn't any powermanagment window12:14
lightwisewhat kind of bullshit is that?12:14
gerroif fans cut off or it does anything odd turn it back on12:14
lightwisei mean this looks like a sweet desktop12:15
gerrojust some handle it internally without software12:15
lightwisebut i dont wanna have to giggle my mouse after 15 minutes to keep from my monitor shutting off12:15
lightwisedude12:15
lightwisenothing is wrong with my bios12:15
gerroit sounds like your describing a screen saver.....12:15
lightwiseits the damn desktop software12:15
gerrowhat sort of monitor are you using though?12:16
lightwiseim in the screensaver menu now.12:16
lightwisethere is nothing to turn off the power management.12:16
gerrouncheck activate screen saver when computer is idle12:17
lightwisei did12:17
lightwiseno screensaver activates.12:17
lightwiseit just turns the monitor off12:17
lightwisei dunno how to make this any clearer.12:17
squirrelpimpthe computer stopped doing that here, after i unchecked that box12:17
squirrelpimplightwise: maybe you  have some powersaving-features configures in your bios?12:18
lightwiseno12:18
gerrodoes the monitor do that with other systems?12:18
lightwiseno12:18
lightwisei think its pretty lame there isn't a menu for this shit.12:18
gerrofor what?12:18
squirrelpimplightwise: ever thought of using windows? it has a menu for that12:18
squirrelpimp:)12:19
lightwiseim not asking too much here.12:19
chervagerro there is nothing in dmesg but i still can't find what deamon is responable for my sound12:19
lightwisepal12:19
gerrolightwise: so your computer is idle 15 minutes and the monitor cuts off, isn't that a positive feature?12:19
lightwiseya its real positive when im trying to watch a movie.12:20
lightwiseheh12:20
gerroI would be surprised if it isn't built into your hardware12:20
squirrelpimplightwise: did you check your X-config?12:20
gerrocheck the monitors menu12:20
squirrelpimpi was able to deactivate that in screensavers settings with the above mentioned checkbox12:20
gerrolightwise: also check your movie players settings most have anti screensaver/idle things to prevent screen from blanking12:21
squirrelpimpit'd be helpful to have a screenshot of you power-related bios-settings as wel12:21
squirrelpimp:)12:21
lightwiseim almost sorry i came in here asking for help12:21
lightwiseits like calling comcast.12:21
lightwisefor tech support12:21
lightwisenothing is in my bio shutting shit off morons12:22
squirrelpimpwhat's wrong? we told you where to look12:22
squirrelpimpnow go do that12:22
PriceChild!ohmy | lightwise12:22
ubotulightwise: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.12:22
lightwiseits xfce, and they deemed it nesessary NOT to put a power management menu in to shut this bullshit off, which is beyond me.12:22
lightwisek12:22
lightwiseim jus frustrated12:22
squirrelpimpor open up ssh root accounts and maybe one will look for you12:22
squirrelpimplightwise: xfce is a window manager12:22
squirrelpimpit manages your windows, not your monitor12:23
lightwiseyou haven't told me anything i haven't already done squirrel.12:23
gerroactually xfwm is window manager xfce is desktop environment12:23
squirrelpimpyou can install the gnome-settings-stuff and see, if you find something there12:23
squirrelpimpsometimes xfce lacks features already implemented in gnome12:23
squirrelpimpgerro: yes, of coure12:24
squirrelpimps12:24
gerrosquirrelpimp: helps to know incase you kill xfwm messing with compiz ^^12:24
lightwiseive even killed the screensaver process12:24
lightwiseand it still shuts off12:24
gerrolightwise: can you please just list what model monitor your using12:25
lightwisewhy? do you really think my monitor is shutting off itself when in kde and gnome it doesnt?12:25
lightwiseheh12:25
gerroI don't know really what to think you haven't given any information12:26

kksm19820117Greetings all.15:03
kksm19820117I'm  am considering installing Xubuntu - a command line install - from an alternate CD and was wondering if I install xfce later using synaptic, will it automatically install thunar and xfburn, etc...? Is there a way I can find out?15:05
gnomefreakkksm19820117: you can install xubuntu-desktop i fyou like after server install and it will bring in everything for you that a standard xubuntu install would15:39
kksm19820117gnomefreak: That's what I'm trying to avoid. I want xfce, but not thunar and mousepad, etc...15:40
gnomefreakkksm19820117: you can install eerything separate than15:41
gnomefreakuse apt-cache search xfce   sinc eyou will be in text only and install what you think you will need but its gonna be hard to not get thunar if you install any xfce gui apps15:42
kksm19820117gnomefreak: I can't figure the doifference between xfce and xfwm. If xfwm is only the window manager, that should do the trick, yes?15:42
gnomefreakkksm19820117: try it i have never installed it separate15:43
kksm19820117Ah, you mean apps like xfburn use thunar, do they?15:43
gnomefreakapt-cache show xfwm to see what the depends are15:43
gnomefreakkksm19820117: they might/sure they do depend on it15:43
gnomefreakwhen you use show look at the depends those are what WILL be installed with the app15:44
kksm19820117Looks like I could avoid thunar. Not bad.15:46
