| xinooo | why only one cpu is shown in system monitor, while it's actually a AMD 64 dual core ? | 03:35 |
| Genelyk | uhmm | 04:03 |
| Genelyk | why installed xubuntu in 64 x2 | 04:04 |
| TheSheep | Genelyk: why not? | 04:05 |

| anusha | how to create shortcuts of pidgin on desktop | 04:24 |
| zoredache | anusha: right click on the desktop choose create launcher.. In the run field enter 'pidgin' | 04:29 |
| anusha | zoredache: no it is not coming.i want to create the shortcuts on my desktop.i tried it by using right click but i wasnt working.so what should i now | 04:34 |
| zoredache | does anything show up when you right click on the desktop? | 04:37 |
| zoredache | is there anything on the desktop right now? | 04:37 |
| anusha | on right click na it is just opening the file | 04:41 |
| zoredache | anusha: when you right click. Make sure your pointer isn't over any existing icons | 04:42 |
| anusha | zoredache: it is not displaying anything .it opens as if u r left clicking on it | 04:43 |
| magic_ninja | any security gurus in here | 04:53 |
| magic_ninja | for some reason i have two users logged in, but it does'nt show who the other user is, like they are hiding from the "who" command | 04:54 |
| zoredache | why do you think you have two users logged in? | 04:59 |
| magic_ninja | zoredache, because i do, its not that i have another tty logged in or a pts, its a user that the 'who' command does not show, this is what is worrying me | 05:03 |
| zoredache | what tool is showing the other user? | 05:03 |
| cody-somerville | Another command to look at logged in users is the users command | 05:05 |
| zoredache | have you tried at looking at the output of 'lsof'? | 05:05 |
| magic_ninja | zoredache, anything in particular to grep it for | 05:06 |
| magic_ninja | dhclient3 8666 dhcp cwd unknown /proc/8666/cwd (readlink: Permission denied) | 05:07 |
| magic_ninja | that looks suspicous | 05:07 |
| zoredache | use a 'grep -v' and exclude things that you know you started | 05:08 |
| magic_ninja | zoredache, can you explain a little more please? | 05:09 |
| zoredache | well lets say you where running apache. grep -v 'www-data' would filter out everything running under the www-data account | 05:11 |
| magic_ninja | i see, so i pinpoint things running to see what might be strange | 05:14 |
| magic_ninja | there is no way to show a hidden user? | 05:14 |
| zoredache | If your system hasn't be hacked there shouldn't be hidden users | 05:15 |
| zoredache | I am still curious what you are looking at or doing that makes you think ther e is a hidden user | 05:16 |
| magic_ninja | when i rebooted, i noticed that i had two users going and the other user is hidden, i ran rkhunter and got some output about root account being enabled from sshd, and i shouldn't be running an sshd in the first place | 05:16 |
| magic_ninja | so i'm trying to track down what the hell is going on with this mystery user | 05:17 |
| magic_ninja | sorry about the language | 05:17 |
| zoredache | you noticed how? | 05:17 |
| magic_ninja | gkrellm | 05:19 |
| magic_ninja | i had this problem on my old box, i got a new computer a month or so ago and had no problems, then today i noticed this was happening again | 05:20 |
| magic_ninja | at times my internet will run slow, really slow, i'll reset the connection and it works fine for a while | 05:21 |
| magic_ninja | mabye i should try a reboot with no network and see what happens with the mystery user | 05:21 |
| zoredache | I guess | 05:21 |
| magic_ninja | my cpu usage randomly goes through the roof for a while, mabye i'm just being paranoid but i find it all put together quite suspicous | 05:22 |
| zoredache | when you said you shouldn't be running sshd. Do you mean that you hever installed openssh-server? | 05:22 |
| zoredache | if sshd is running and you didn't install openssh-server then I would start there | 05:22 |
| magic_ninja | i already removed the ssh server and shutoff the sshd | 05:24 |
| zoredache | and you are certain you aren't just seeing a bug in gkrellm? | 05:25 |
| magic_ninja | is there another program type of system monitor that will show that | 05:25 |
| magic_ninja | i'll be right back | 05:27 |
| magic_ninja | zoredache, it restarted with one user | 05:30 |
| magic_ninja | and i have firestarter monitoring network connections | 05:32 |
| magic_ninja | got an interesting tidbit | 05:33 |
| zoredache | ? | 05:34 |
| magic_ninja | well | 05:35 |
| magic_ninja | i found an ipp address, and a whois returned some interesting info on a computer in china | 05:35 |
| magic_ninja | sorry about that | 05:39 |
| magic_ninja | well from what i'm gathering, its showing a portscan/intrusion attempt from china, but i'm no security expert, but a linux box is a sweet target | 05:42 |
| magic_ninja | zoredache, they are coming from china and africa, i found some alot of sites that showed them as intrusion attempts | 06:02 |
| magic_ninja | various ports, both tcp and udp | 06:02 |
| zoredache | is your computer directly connected to the internet? | 06:09 |
| zoredache | if you are on the internet you are going to get scanned a lot.... | 06:09 |
| coldhak | shell is complaning about ^M on the bang line, is that the \r or the \n? | 06:17 |
| zoredache | I would guess the \r | 06:18 |
| coldhak | thanks :) | 06:20 |

| theeyealtering | Does anyone know the command to bring up the Places menu, I want to bind a keyboard shortcut to it? | 08:03 |
| sunabozu | any recommended best LAN filesharing tool for Ubuntu and Windows? | 08:56 |
| theeyealtering | Samba is the standard tool I think. Look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 | 09:00 |
| TheSheep | ssh with avahi maybe... | 09:03 |
| TheSheep | or sftp with avahi | 09:03 |
| TheSheep | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=218630 | 09:03 |
| sunabozu | can't make it work, samba is just overwhelming | 09:51 |
| TheSheep | !swat | 09:53 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 09:53 |
| sunabozu | TheSheep: I found p300 and it's really good, wooho java! | 10:07 |
| sunabozu | any guide on making bittorrent work? | 11:19 |
| sunabozu | I've tried lots of clients for ubuntu, I'm still having < 2KB/s, I've just installed 7.10 | 11:20 |
| arf` | sunabozu: 2kB/s is a sort of working :) | 11:24 |
| Carouselbeast | Hello there! Can anyone tell me how to change my keyboard layout in xubuntu? | 11:29 |
| Carouselbeast | And why should I not install flashplugin-nonfree ? | 11:30 |
| jokoon | because its not open source | 11:40 |
| Carouselbeast | And how do I change my keyboard layout? | 11:41 |
| D-- | Carouselbeast: Application>Settings>Settings Manager>Keyboard>Layouts | 11:55 |
| D-- | Uncheck the "X" option and pick something else. | 11:55 |
| D-- | As for flashplugin-nonfree, you should not install it because if you do that, all your flash content will display correctly. Ideology is more important than compatibility. | 11:56 |
| Carouselbeast | Thank you | 12:00 |
| Carouselbeast | worked | 12:00 |
| magic_ninja | this isn't normal | 16:00 |
| magic_ninja | i've been getting portscans on my comp all night | 16:00 |
| Myrtti | hate to burst the bubble, but that's what Internet is nowadays | 16:03 |
| magic_ninja | really? | 16:03 |
| magic_ninja | thats weak | 16:03 |
| cody-somerville | magic_ninja, are you the same guy that was worried about someone being logged into your computer last night? | 16:16 |
| magic_ninja | cody-somerville, yea, i got it figured out | 16:17 |
| magic_ninja | cody-somerville, never realized how bad it is nowadays | 16:17 |
| magic_ninja | cody-somerville, found a bug in gkrellm though :-) | 16:17 |
| cody-somerville | magic_ninja, whats the bug number? | 16:18 |
| magic_ninja | not sure | 16:18 |
| magic_ninja | when you log into another tty, then log back out gkrellm shows 2 users still | 16:18 |
| cody-somerville | magic_ninja, and I assumed you reported that? | 16:18 |
| magic_ninja | cody-somerville, na i need too though | 16:18 |
| slow-motion | hi | 18:53 |
| morslok | I have a problem with my font size in xubuntu 8.04, all the letters are too big and as a result I can't see everything on the screen. | 18:58 |
| morslok | i just installed today on an old desktop system with onboard video, it's an hp | 18:59 |
| Guest98084 | Anybody using an EEE? | 21:37 |
| cody-somerville | not I | 21:39 |
| === Guest98084 is now known as Truefirr | ||
| === Truefirr is now known as Truefire | ||
| Truefire | I'm using an Asus EEE... | 21:47 |
| Truefire | and I got it small enough with Xubuntu to have everything I need, with 630mb to spare. | 21:47 |
| Truefire | I obviously added programs, such as Warzoine 2100, OpenOffice, VLC, Audatious, Skype, Netbeans, Geany... | 21:49 |
| Truefire | ...and wine. | 21:49 |
| Truefire | but it is the 4g.. | 21:49 |
| Truefire | I doubt the 2g eee is useful | 21:50 |
| Truefire | unless you use puppy, :p | 21:50 |
| Truefire | I'll be writing about the EEE on my site, 'http://www.easygeek.org' | 21:51 |
| TheSheep | Truefire: you can fit a usable linux distro in 256MB | 21:52 |
| TheSheep | Truefire: of course it involves soem heavy hacking | 21:52 |
| TheSheep | I guess (x)ubuntu is not the best starting point for that | 21:53 |

| xaer0 | hellos | 22:51 |
| xaer0 | cody-somerville: you around? | 22:52 |
| xaer0 | or anyone of the marketing team? | 22:52 |
| cody-somerville | I'm here | 22:52 |
| xaer0 | i have a thought that maybe useful | 22:53 |
| xaer0 | i just posted it in the xubuntu-users email group | 22:54 |
| xaer0 | under xaer0knight@gmail.com | 22:55 |
| xaer0 | something like that for Xubuntu.. mostly those who love Xubuntu that are willing to ship CDs out for free | 22:59 |
| xaer0 | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia/Information | 22:59 |
| xaer0 | so any comments? | 23:08 |
| cody-somerville | Interesting | 23:09 |
| xaer0 | ya i thought it might be good for a distro like Xubuntu... because most of the light weight distros you have to pay for or download (some people dont have access to faster internet) | 23:10 |
| xaer0 | that and the fact Ubuntu is so popular now, also you can get it at Circity City with 60days of live telephone tech support for 19 bucks | 23:11 |
| xaer0 | or was it best buy | 23:12 |
| xaer0 | i thought it maybe fun or a good project to Alpha or Beta awhile.. a Free Xubuntu CD Program. | 23:14 |
| * cody-somerville nods. | 23:14 | |
| xaer0 | well keep it in mind i guess.. :-D | 23:15 |
| xaer0 | every idea is a good idea to someone :L) | 23:15 |
| xaer0 | well i go to go.. wanted to get that off my chest :-D | 23:15 |
| * xaer0 = dinner time | 23:15 | |
