rikardAck. That didn't come out appropriately. Sorry. Not used to Konversation yet.01:06
rikardAnyway, I need to find the serialmonkey rt2x00 drivers. I've found a site here that says they're accessible via git, but the packman for kubuntu is apt-get. So how do I access these?01:07

murchadh!aptitude01:08
ubottuaptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide01:08

rikardAnybody? Hello? :/01:15
LanceMartinHello Rikard01:15
dthacker-work!patience | rikard01:15
ubotturikard: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines01:15
rikardHello Lance.01:15
rikardAlso, hello random irc bot. Despite your AI like ability to infer a user is becoming irate and demanding, perhaps your owner should program you to recognize simple disdain in people. Maybe his personality rubbed off on you. :/01:16
dthacker-workrikard, channel etiquette is to not repeat one's question more often than once every 10 minutes or so, which you should see in the guidelines.01:19
dthacker-work!alien01:19
ubottuRPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)01:19
LanceMartinIs apt better than RPM?01:20
rikardDthacker-work, perhaps I'm new to IRC in general, and the guidelines aren't exactly "posted" when you join the channel.01:20
rikardChannel etiquette is also, apparently, belittle the ignorant newbie.01:20
dthacker-workLanceMartin: that's an endless debate.   Ubuntu has chosen to use apt, so that's what we support here.01:21
LanceMartinOkay, I have been out of linux for a long time ... my questions might be those of a complete newbie.01:22
dthacker-workrikard: no offense was intended.  The guidelines help irc volunteers to help you when things get busy.01:22
dthacker-workLanceMartin: we were all new once! :)01:23
rikardMy apologies. I'm just irate for no good reason. Didn't mean to pull the self righteous idiot card.01:23
dthacker-workrikard: none taken. :)01:23
LanceMartinOne thing I am looking for is a phone dialer ... I downloaded one but I don't know how to make it work.01:23
dthacker-workLanceMartin: I haven't used one in a long time.   I would fire up adept and query for strings like "modem" and "dialer".  What is the name of the package you downloaded?01:25
LanceMartinthank you!01:25
dthacker-workrikard: Hardware can be very frustrating.  I'd suggest you visit the forums and query for your card.   You may find someone else who has gotten it to work.01:26
rikardThe card works fine. I'm looking to replace the stock kubuntu driver with the serialmoneky specific that supports packet injection so that kismet will work.01:26
yogi_um, I have a question about getting wifi to work for my dell inspiron in hardy...anyone?01:27
dthacker-workrikard: I'd still recommend the forums in that case.01:27
rikardThank you.01:28
dthacker-workyogi_: please state the problem01:28
rikardWhats the kubuntu equivalent of gedit?01:28
dthacker-workrikard: hmmmm. never used much gnome.   Kate, perhaps?  (text editor?)01:29
yogi_i'm currently using kubuntu gutsy for my inspiron 1505 and I have wifi working. I can't get it to work in Hardy. I assumed the procedure would be the same, but I'm wondering if there are any modules that might be interfereing with ndiswrapper01:29
yogi_yup kate01:29
rikardYep. It's kate. thanks.01:30
rikardOk. When attempting to edit a .conf file, if I try to kate *.conf while I'm root, I get an error that I couldn't connect to X server.01:31
rikardHowever, if I do it as my standard user, I can open the file fine, but can't save.01:31
rikardPerhaps, because I don't have permission.01:31
dthacker-workyogi_: I don't know of any.  Have you checked the wifi resources online?01:31
dthacker-workrikard: are you using sudo or su?01:31
dthacker-work!wifi | yogi_01:32
ubottuyogi_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs01:32
rikardsu -01:32
rikardps01:32
rikarder, password.01:32
dthacker-workrikard: try sudo, I think you're losing your X env when you su.01:32
rikardWorked great. What does "losing my x env" mean, if you have time to explain it?01:33
Dragnslcrrikard- kdesu kate01:33
rikardKismet up and running. Fantastic.01:33
DragnslcrDon't use sudo for GUI apps. That's what kdesu is for01:33
rikardIt still worked, dragn, but I will remember thati n the future.01:34
rikardKubuntu: 1. Fedora 9/Ubuntu: 0.01:34
rikardKismet hardlocked my system in fedora and ubuntu. Kubuntu it didn't. Wee! :D01:34
yogi_dthacker & ubottu --- thanks01:34
rikardThanks for the help guys.01:34
dthacker-workrikard: your X server is set as an shell environment variable.  When you su -, you take root's shell and leave yours.  If you su (no dash) or sudo, you bring your shell environment with you.01:35
dthacker-workDragnslcr is right about GUI apps and sudo.01:36
rikardI see!01:36
rikardThank you, dt. That makes more sense now.01:36
rikardTomorrow is Linux day at the course I'm taking, and maybe I'll be able to do base functions without coming into IRC to torture the volunteers.01:36
rikardLast question for the time: The base video drivers that installed with kubuntu have my desktop at a very low resolution. Does anyone have ar ecommendation as to what Nvidia drivers to get? Are there some on apt, or should I get the proprietary from nvidia?01:37
dthacker-workno idea on that one.01:38
rikardOh, wow! The aircrack suite works with the default driver in kubuntu too.01:39
rikardFantastic!01:39
yogi_rikard...I had to revert to the old nvidia driver for my laptop...it might work for you01:41
rikardWhats a good program to burn an iso to dvd?01:43
rikardDoes k3b support iso?01:44
yogi_k3b01:44
rikardThanks.01:44
yogi_or mkisofs01:44
yogi_mkisofs is a command line tool...u comfortable with that?01:45
geniiyogi_: mkisofs is to create an iso. To burn one you'd need instead cdrecord01:46
Jucatoyogi_: doesn't mkisofs make iso's?01:46
yogi_cdrecord is included in the distro...mkisofs utilises that01:47
rikardWhats the proper init to run the nvidia proprietary driver installation at, so that X is not present?01:48
rikardwhoa01:52
yogi_Genii && Jucato: see man mkisofs01:52
yogi_but Genii is right cdrtools are necessary to burn to dvd01:53
rikardi see01:53
rikardthank you01:53
yogi_mkisofs makes the file system01:53
yogi_but you pass arguments to send ISO to the burner from mkisofs01:54
rikardHow do I change it so that I have to double click files to open them? This single click stuff gives me ptsd from windows ME.01:57
yogi_does anyone know what the deal is with KDE 4.x ---- any word on stability issues01:57
nuxilyogi_, its becoming more stable,, but the usability sucks01:58
Dediyogi_: 4.0 for devs, 4.1 for users, 4.2 for stable users01:58
yogi_rikard: kcontrol > peripherals > mouse01:58

geniilg3d-core is not any package in standard repositories. Is this what you are trying to install by adding the other repository line of deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian   ?03:39
dynoll3ya03:39
dynoll3lg3d is Looking Grass03:39
geniiAh03:40
geniiYou mean Sun's Project Looking Glass?03:40
nuxilits a debian pack. maybe its not working..  but usaly debian packs works on ubuntu.03:40
nuxilgenii, thats the one hes trying to install03:41
dynoll3ok ill show u all the thing they say? after i write sudo dpkg --configure -a03:42
geniiNo03:42
dynoll3ok03:42
nuxildynoll3, do you still got the bin file ?03:44
dynoll3yes03:44
geniiAll you need is https://lg3d-core.dev.java.net/files/documents/1834/84267/lg3d-core_1.0.1_dev_i686.deb03:44
geniiAnd install it with dpkg03:44
geniiDon't mess around with bin files, etc etc03:44
nuxilis that the stable version?03:45
dynoll3(i want the stable version)03:45
geniiThats the stable version03:45
dynoll3genii, its normal that it open openoffice?03:45
nuxillol.. no03:45
geniiRequires package sun-java6-jdk installed first03:45
yogi_um, based upon the comments on ubuntugeek this install seems to be hit and miss. others are having the same issue03:46
nuxiltry bin file as last result.. you can always uninstall the binfile with ./thefile --uninstall03:47
dynoll3ok03:47
Dr_willisHmm That Lookinimeg glasis stuff has always been a little flakey every time ive dared to try  it03:47
geniiDr_willis: I've managed it a few times now, but it's a resource hog03:48
yogi_hungry hippo...needs lots of mem03:48
Dr_willisgenii,  yea. every so often its name pops up again.. and people try it.. and sem to quickly get sick of it. :)03:48
yogi_it's a great concept though03:48
nuxilwhats so spesial about it?03:49
Dr_willisI find a lot of the features just get in the way of doing real work. :)03:49
Dr_willishave they actually done anything new to it? or did someone just find it.. and now we are talking about it again?03:49
dynoll3when i write sudo chmod 755 lookingglass.bin (its the name of my file), they say that they cant find the file03:49
yogi_i think dynol thought it looked cool03:49
dynoll3ya it looked cool03:50
nuxildynoll3, you need to cd to the dir you downloaded it too03:50
yogi_remember KISS03:50
dynoll3on desk03:50
dynoll3cd /?03:50
geniicd ~/Desktop03:50
nuxilthen cd /home/you/Desktop03:50
dynoll3ok sorry03:50
yogi_this install is already a pain. I had the same issue as you03:50
yogi_but I got it working, slowly as getall03:51
nuxilso whats so spesial about this glasses anyway ?03:51
Dr_willisdynoll3,  i think yOu may want to be learning You 'might' goof up the system03:51
Dr_willisnuxil,  lots of silly eyecandy/effects last i looked.03:51
yogi_nothing, just a nice idea03:51
yogi_compiz is better03:51
geniinuxil: It's basically eyecandy which runs in a java environment03:51
Dr_willisIf you really wan tto test it out.. there is a live cd./03:51
nuxilDr_willis, for that we got compiz03:51
dynoll3ok03:51
Dr_willisnuxil,  this was around about 4+ years befor there was a compiz03:51
nuxilahh. so compiz > the glasses03:52
nuxil:903:52
Dr_willisit can also do some things i recall that ive not seen done with compiz.03:52
geniiYou can for instance spin an app around on the screen and write memo on the reverse, etc03:53
Dr_willisthe latest release date i see for the looking glass stuff is 2006...03:53
nuxilthat just sounds anying03:53
geniinuxil: It's not worth the overhead, anyhow03:53
yogi_I think it would be great if it utilized multi-touch03:54
nuxilgenii, hehe. i belive you..03:54
Dr_willisI feel the same way about most eye  candy.03:54
aurorajoj03:54
yogi_it would be a mistake for linux users and developers to discount eye candy03:55
aurorahi!03:55
Dr_willisI feel its a mistake for Developers to 'force' eyecandy into being a 'big selling point'03:55
Dr_willisor companies.. or whoever.. :)03:56
yogi_good point03:56
Dr_willisHardware Makers LOVE it :)03:56
Dr_willisUsed to be the big 'gotta update the pc' thing was new games.. now its just so you can do the same job.. on the new eyecandy desktop...03:56
nuxilDr_willis, yeah,, there is little point in just sitting and looking at a fine desktop.. little work gets doen..03:56
* genii pets his 8800GTS03:56
yogi_unless u use multi touch tech03:56

Dr_willisgenii,  gotta love its dual feature as a space heater!03:57
nuxilgenii, i got the same card :)03:57
geniiIt *does* heat up a lot. It also covers 2 other slots since it's massive03:57
nuxilgenii, have you ever gotten the tvout (svid) to work ?03:57
Dr_willisI got a 8800gtsXXX :)03:57

SebNaitsabeswhat's the package03:58
SebNaitsabesI need to install flash into konqueror?03:58
Dr_willisnuxil,  i do recall that on some nvidia cards i have to have to have the tv pluged in when i boot up.03:59
SebNaitsabesprobably can just find from the package manager03:59
nuxilDr_willis, yeah i have tryed that,. without luck.03:59
nuxilmy old gt 6600 i could just plug in and it was on,,04:00
Dr_willisnuxil,  heck on some of my nvidia cards. if i just hooked up the tv.. when installing the os.. and unplugged the monitor. It would default to the tv :)04:00
Dr_willisIt does seem to depend on th eexact video card.04:00
Dr_willisor else i enable twinview and clone the display to the tv.04:01
nuxilyou lucky bastard :p i tryed all thouse ways.04:01
Dr_willisI have like 4 different nvidia cards. :)   I took out a 'bigger/faster' card from one machine and replaced it with a slower QUIETER 5500 I think. :)04:02

bastid_raZori'm running ubuntu 8.04 and was wanting to install kde4 applications on it, what repo, if any, do i need to add? currently apt-get gives kde3.5 apps04:05
nuxilgimme04:05
rikardI'm trying to use kismet/aircrack-ng/airodump-ng on Kubuntu with an Atheros wireless chipset (Supposedly the best chipset to do it with), and for some reason I get an error message that it couldn't set monitor mode on ath0. Is it possible the base kubuntu driverdoesn't support monitor?04:05
nuxilrikard, ath0? usaly you do airmon ethX start04:07
rikardeth? eth are ethernet interfaces, aren't they?04:07
nuxilrikard, you can try iwconfig ethX mode Monitor04:07
geniibastid_raZor: I'm sure they'll know something about it in #kubuntu-kde404:08
bastid_raZorgenii; ahh, i thought this was the kde4 channel. thanks04:08
geniinp04:08
nuxilrikard, hope your not dumping my packs :p04:08
rikardNah. I'm practicing some stuff I'm learning in the SANS Security Essentials class.04:09
rikardOr, at least trying to. I don't want to take the easy route and use live cds.04:09
rikardSo I'm trying to configure my lab.04:09
rikardBut I seem to be having issues getting my wireless card to cooperate, even though its supposed to be one of the best ones to use.04:09
nuxilrikard, ifconfig -a to see all devices04:11
nuxilrikard, also iwconfig should show you which card that the IEEE 802.11 extensiom04:11
nuxil*that got the04:11
nuxilrikard, there should also be a patch included in the aircrack-ng tools "sources", dont know if you need to patch04:11
rikardSources? I just used a packmanager.04:12
nuxilto patch the drivr04:12
rikardi know, but where would i find the patch if i used packmanagers?04:12
nuxilnormaly you only need to patch if you want to do arp injection while in monitore mode04:12
rikardYeah. That's what I'm looking to do.04:13
rikardWHere can I find this patch?04:13
nuxilthey are in the source.. google for the source04:13
rikardAh, I've found the driver patch section on the aircrack ng site.04:13
rikardLet's see!04:14
nuxilrikard, keep in mind. you might need to recompile the kernel with the new patched driver04:14
rikardeh?04:14
rikardi have to do whta now? :o04:14
nuxilget the header files for your current linux04:15
rikardthis sounds like a big deal04:15
nuxilthen patch the driver.. if you are lucky,, you only need to make the module.04:15
nuxilrikard, its a big deal to be a black hat :p04:15
rikardwhat are these .patch files?04:16
nuxilcodes which must be added to your driver04:16
rikardhow do I apply them? :(04:16
dr_WillisI think some More learning is going to be going on tonight for rikard  :)04:16
nuxillshw -C network to see what module your card uses04:16
* nuxil agrees04:17

kerii just installed konqueror and into  ubuntu/gnome i am trying to get flash and nsplugins  and  flashplugin-nonfree are already installed.  ,but  flash does not load. and  i   checked the  config and  the plugin is there04:18
rikardOk. What info do I need from these, nuxil?04:18
rikardWhat confuses me a bit, is I have a wifi0 device, and an ath0 device.04:19
rikardbut when I just did what you told me, the ath0 device is not there.04:19
rikardOnly wifi0.04:19
nuxil_damit.. was going to cat /dev/ppp but did a cat /dev/port by mistake.. hehe forze my system :p04:22
rikardBah. I'm lost. I have an ath0 device, and a wifi0 device, and I'm not sure which is what.04:22
rikardbut sudo lshw -C network doesn't show the ath0 device, and yet iwconfig/ifconfig do04:23
nuxil_rikard, you must first get a understanding of what card is what before you even can go on a cracking your new. i suggest you go read up a bit on linux networking04:23
nuxil_*new - net04:24
geniirikard: Thats because the aircrack tools were originally written for the prism2 /Atheros cards.If you don't have one of those it makes a virtual one04:24
murdoc_does any one know about walkmans/portable audio players in xubuntu?04:24
rikardAh!04:25
rikardI see.04:25
rikardI didn't know that :)04:25
murdoc_Having trouble mounting it- can't even see it-04:26
murdoc_or does any one know where I can get some documentation to figure it out?04:28
geniimurdoc_: The manual for your walkman might say something about what modes it can be set to when connecting to computer04:29
rikard1what does kubuntu have that will compile c? make is giving me c related error messages04:31
geniirikard: build-essential04:31
rikardthank you genii04:32
geniinp04:32
rikardyeah nuxil04:32
rikardi've seen it done before.04:32
rikardi'm just trying to figure out why my ath devices is giving me troubles04:32
murdoc_genii-just one mode-it's not even supposed to work for anything other than windows-however I've been running it in fedora8 for some time, just switched to kubuntu04:32
rikardand telling me it doesn't support monitor mode.04:33
geniimurdoc_: No other idea offhand then. Likely it needs some udev rule04:34
rikardgetting openssl errors now genii.04:34
rikardwould it be.. openssl-devel?04:35
powertool08Could somebody please help me set up restricted drivers? I enabled the check box and restarted to a very low resolution login screen, after login everything is messed up, background doesn't draw properly, menu background's won't draw, etc04:35
murdoc_is there a "connected hardware" apt, or something like that I should look at- as in a "my computer" type prog04:35
rikardno, its not openssl-devel04:35
geniirikard: When it complains about some lib not found or so usually then install the -dev version04:36
geniijust -dev not -devel04:36
rikardopenssl-dev didn't give me anything :(04:36
paolo_Hi *. I cannot send mail using kmail unless I use "send via...". I didn't have this problem with gentoo (Same version of kmail). Does anyone know if there is a way to solve this one?04:37

rikardThanks so much for putting up with my mental retardation, genii.04:38
geniirikard: No worries04:38
rikardIt's compiling now.04:38
_2genii will you put up with my "mental retardation" ?04:39
geniirikard: However I am extremely tired and departing soon so someone else will need to tackle whatever bugbears may come04:39
* _2 buys genii a cup of java04:39
rikardI'll try again later. Tomorrows Linux day at my course anyway.04:39
rikardSo maybe I won't be a complete moron come sundown.04:39

chackal_sjchey guys04:41

chackal_sjcbut is returning an error like thios04:41
chackal_sjcthis04:41
chackal_sjcssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused04:41
chackal_sjcanyone knows how to fix?04:41
_2genii no, just normal idiosencracy04:42
powertool08chackal_sjc: are you connecting to a computer behind a router? If so you need to port forward04:42
chackal_sjcpowertool08: what you mean?04:42
geniichackal_sjc: You have openssh-server installed?04:42
geniipowertool08: He said localhost. So I imagine it's not behind a router ;)04:42
chackal_sjcpowertool08: its a localhost user.. in my machine04:43
_2chackal_sjc is sshd running ?    pidof sshd04:43
chackal_sjcno04:43
_2can't ssh to (sshd is not running here) period04:43
chackal_sjci dont have the openssh-server installed04:43
geniichackal_sjc: That explains it then04:44
chackal_sjcyeah, im installing04:44
chackal_sjcyeah, now it works good..04:44
chackal_sjcthanks04:44
_2chackal_sjc and configure /etc/ssh/sshd_config  before you let some black pro ssh in as root04:45
geniiroot login is disabled by default04:45
_2genii not in sshd it's not.   so if you set a root password you also have enabled remote root04:45
chackal_sjc_2: what you mean??04:46
_2     ^04:46
=== nuxil_ is now known as nuxil
_2chackal_sjc that's what i mean.     if you even enable the root login  "which you probably shouldn't anyway"  and also run the default sshd_conf....     the defaults are to allow root and listen on all networks.04:47
chackal_sjc_2: how do i configure that?04:47
chackal_sjcim a ssh newbie04:47
_2you edit the file     probably best to read up on it a little first but it has some instructions in it.04:48
_2one should never "ignorantly" run any service.   always learn a little about what you are opening up first.04:48
chackal_sjc_2: ok, Im gonna take a look in few minuts..04:49
geniiInteresting. This enable root is new since 6.06 at least04:49
geniiOr mybe since I have often server version04:49
_2grep root /etc/ssh/sshd_config04:50
_2err  -i that04:51
geniichackal_sjc: Change line: PermitRootLogin yes                to: PermitRootLogin no              in that file04:51
chackal_sjcgenii: thats it?04:52
_2exactly   and/or   set the listen line to 192.168.0.0/16   or something local only04:52
geniichackal_sjc: Yes.   alt-f2 then: kdesu kate /etc/ssh/sshd_config              to open it with proper rights for editing04:52
powertool08chackal_sjc: I'd change Protocol to only "2" not "1,2" maybe change port number04:52
chackal_sjcpowertool08: why that?04:52
_2powertool08 that's default now.04:52
geniichackal_sjc: Also restart the server after by:     sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart04:53
_2chackal_sjc for stronger security   obviously04:53
chackal_sjcPermitRootLogin yes, keep that right?04:53
geniichackal_sjc: Because port 22 is well know for ssh login, many bots try to use brute-force login attempts for root there. So putting it on some oddball port helps security a lot04:53
powertool08chackal_sjc: protocol 1 is weak, also if you change default port less people find it with scanners04:54
geniichackal_sjc: No change the "yes" to a "no"04:54
_2powertool08 changing the port hardly hides the service from nmap04:54
powertool08_2: thats why I said less people04:55
chackal_sjcProtocol 2, is deafault04:55
_2lol   ok.04:55
_2chackal_sjc yes i said that already04:55
powertool08_2: it hides it from programs who only scan defaults04:55
chackal_sjcgenii: so, change port 22 to what?04:55
genii_2: Port changing at least prevents attempts from these automated attacks04:55
powertool08chackal_sjc: anything you want that isn't already used, something over 1000 is good04:55
geniichackal_sjc: Some number above 1024 and below 65535 that you can remember easily04:56
_2powertool08 yeah it might duck one leftover ms-dos script from 1984    i guess that's right.04:56
geniipowertool08: Over 1024, others are priveleged ports04:56
_2genii       ^04:56
_2:)04:57
geniichackal_sjc: When the port is changed you need attempt login by:    ssh -p 12345 servername04:58
* _2 wonders if port: `dd if=/dev/urandom bs=2 count=1 2>/dev/null | od -l | cut -c18- | tr -d -- '\n'` would work....04:59
geniiwhere 12345 is that number you choose04:59
_2don't use  6667   it will look like an irc server04:59
geniichackal_sjc: And DON'T tell us here what the port number you choose is. This channel is public and also logged04:59
_2and a good source for black hat info05:00
nuxilindeed05:00
genii_2: Hehe 6667 would be confusing05:00
chackal_sjcyeah,, its good now05:00
nuxilit would be conflicking if he uses irc alot05:00
chackal_sjcindeed²05:01
geniinuxil: The clients here should be using 8001 anyways and not 6667 to prevent DCC attacks05:01
_2chackal_sjc i haven't scanned your ip.  (unusual as that might sound)   but i hope you haven't blindly thrown up an ftp or even http server either....     "never run a service that you don't know anything about,  because you will be the only one that can't access it!"05:01
geniiI'll drink to that05:02
* genii sips05:02
_2genii but that's been posted so much, that 8001 is just as big a target now anyway...05:03
chackal_sjcyeah,.. good advice05:03

Jucato!autostart | nuxil05:52
ubottunuxil: To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. For a complete guide, see http://jucato.org/kde/kde-autostart.html05:52
Jucatotwo places you can put the command/script in: ~/.kde/env or ~/.kde/Autostart05:52
nuxilJucato, no. i cant do that05:52
Jucatowhy?05:52
nuxilits for setting up cryped home disk. when users login.. i have several crypted disks for users05:53
* Jucato is not sure he know what that means in this case05:53
_2nuxil you probably want pam to handle that then05:55
nuxilJucato, lets say i have 2 users. and 2 cryped disk. i need to make a script or somthing that creates the mapper and mount the disk for each user.05:55
nuxilbc .. i have to press. CTRL ALT F1 and login. then run cryptsetup -c aes -d /usb/mykey create home /dev/hdX before i log in with kdm now05:56
Jucatoah.. hm... then I don't know... sorry05:57
nuxilkde dislike getting a ""new"" dir after login.. thats why i have to do it the hard way..05:57
guaquasounds like you have an unusual use-case05:58
_2nuxil what about mounting on the same dir ?05:58
_2start mount over the top of...05:58
_2nuxil or have fstab mount them... ?05:59
nuxilremember i got 2 disk. i dont think mounting 2 disks on same dir is such a good ide05:59
_2nuxil same dir ?05:59
_2what ?05:59
_2one user has two disks ?   two different homes ?05:59
nuxilno.. once use for each disk06:00
_2that's not the same dir then06:00
_2and you could put the users home anywhere you want06:00
* _2 sets _2 home to /usr/local/share/apps/anon/something/06:01
nuxilyea i see. but the point was that. userA should not be able to go in userB's dir06:01
_2nuxil that's done with permissions settings06:01
nuxilboth got sudo access.. but they got seperate keys.06:02
guaquamount options, if it's a vfat volume, _206:02
_2well you are spitting in the wind if you think you can keep root jr. out of anything.06:02
nuxilguaqua, no.. its ext3 with aes crypation06:02
_2if either has full "root jr."   you can not keep them out of anything period.06:03
nuxil_2, as long as userA or B dosent got the key for the other user,, he can not mount the disk,, well he can,, but ut would be invalid data for him06:03
_2if either has full "root jr."   you can not keep them out of anything period.06:03
_2anything root can setup root can access06:04
_2my advice would be to limit their power in /etc/sudoers and use permissions to restrict what they see/where they go/what they do.06:05
nuxil_2 ther are 2 seperate keys . once for each disk.. the keys are on 2 usb disk. which each user got.. so userA can never access userB unlsess he got the key06:06
nuxiland both need sudo access06:06
nuxili probealy need to make som silly bash script for this.06:07
_2do what you want.  <shrugs>    making me root jr. on any box == hands on == i own it.  </shrugs>06:07
nuxil_2, you might own the box. but not the data.. you beed the key to access it..06:08
_2do you pay when you bet ?06:08
_2getting the key is childs play when you own the box06:09
nuxilif i want the key i need to hit userA in the head and grab the key from his pocket.06:10
_2nope.  jsut wait until he logs in and check your email06:10
anom01ywhy oh why would one kde accound have sound, but not the other ???06:11
=== n8k99 is now known as when
=== when is now known as n8k99
anom01yI try to use amarok, I get "unable to initialize any audio drivers"06:12
anom01yand youtube doesnt work06:12
anom01yI tried asoundconf --reset-default-card, and I tried logging out/logging in06:12
anom01ybut my other accound the sound works find06:12
anom01y(fine)06:13
_2anom01y did you use sudo with some graphical app in the one account        does one belong to groups the other doesnt06:13
_2either of those could explain it06:13
nuxil_2, how is he suppose to log in an check my mail when ? one user at the time on the pc.06:13
_2!kdesu06:13
ubottuIn KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)06:13
anom01y_2:  hmm possibly06:13
anom01yI have no clue06:14
anom01yI will just check the groups to see if they are the same06:14
_2nuxil i didn't say.  he checks your mail.   i implied that the script i would use would email me the key when he used it...06:14
_2anom01y one may be in admin and the other not.   by default anyone in the admin group is "root jr."  and can do anything on the box in question.06:15
anom01ywell the one accound wasnt on admin, or audio, like the other account (that works) is06:15
_2anom01y you did notice what i just said ?06:16
anom01yyeah I see that thank you06:16
_2if you don't want them to both be "root jr."  don't add the other to the admin account.06:16
anom01yok06:16
anom01yyeah I will just check the "audio" group that wasnt checked06:17
_2you're welcome.06:17
anom01yis "adm" the same as "admin" becuase I have both06:17
_2anom01y depends on the version.   you can   sudo grep adm /etc/sudoers      to see06:17
_2it's the sudoers file that makes the differance there06:18
anom01yyeah I see that I am not in the sudoers group in kuser, but I can still do sudu in konsole for some reason, I think kuser is out of date or something06:18
_2if it has admin and not adm   then only admin   if it has adm and not admin  then....06:18
_2you should never be in the sudoers group methinks06:19
_2that removes the need to enter any authentication06:19
_2i.e.  it's basicly == login as root, run as root06:20
anom01yahhh ok I see thank you06:20
anom01ywhat about "cdrom"06:20
_2yes   be in that06:20
_2and no not "disks"      reason being if anyone finds an exploit that lets them execute any command they might "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/sd*"    which wouldn't need any added permission to wipe out your hdd's06:22
_2and i'm not talking one partition on one disk there btw06:23
anom01yits a real science hey06:23
anom01ywell I'd say its about right hopefully the sound problem is fixed06:23

guidoI'm trying to set a headless winxp with virtualbox and have seamless integration following the steps listed here http://ace2016.net/tutorials/linux/run-windows-xp-applications-seamlessly-on-your-linux-desktop but for some reason I can only get it to work once, upon reboot I couldn't connect remotely. I'm running kubuntu hardy heron. Anyone can lend me a hand?07:52
elainehow do i find out if I could have been using that if its not under my apps drop down window07:53
_2elaine in kde3 kcontrol is the app that so many parts of a accessed with "properties" and right click...07:54
_2so if it's kde3 you probably used kcontrol without knowing what was actually being ran behind the senes07:55
=== ed__ is now known as drifter
elainehmm. thats probably what I did. how do i get back to that?07:55
_2it won't look the same. to have the full kcontrol open as it does for any given part07:56
_2elaine alt+f2 kcontrol     or kmenu > system settings > "settings manager" or something like that07:56
_2that last one doesn't sound right....07:57
_2but it's in there somewhere.  i just call kcontrol and use it's navagation07:57
elainelooking07:58
_2guido if no one in here can   you might try  ##windows too07:58
guido_2 thanks07:58
guidoI'm also trying on #vbox07:58
elainewell, when I was trying to do that earlier, I installed some new startup manager and founda  way to manage the screen previous to that07:59
_2yeah in ##linux for any linux side of that...07:59
elainebut not the password splash screen thinggie07:59
elaineand theres no kcontrol in the windows interface, can I find it from the terminal?07:59
_2elaine ah  you may have switched from kdm to gdm ?07:59
_2elaine   sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm08:00
elainei have kbabel etc but no kcontrol08:00
elaineyes08:00
_2what part of "<_2> elaine alt+f2 kcontrol" is so confusing ???08:01
_2the fact that i pitched in a kmenu > system settings    with it maybe ?08:01
elainethere is a chance anything is possible08:04
elaineUse dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,08:04
elaineand dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.08:04
elaine/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: kdm is not installed08:04
_2elaine hmmm  gnome ?08:04
elaineyes08:04
_2then why are you in the kde specific channel ?08:04
_2/join #ubuntu08:04
_2they should know !08:05
elaineits the default on brand new ubuntu installation08:05
_2this channel is ?08:05

_2you running an irc server ?08:11
nuxilno. but shouldnt it be listed open as long as iam connected to irc..08:12
_2nuxil you connect to port 6667 or 8001  on the server but the client port is not that.  it's a random high count port   32497   for example08:12
nuxilaha.. i'll need to fix that in my scrapy fw script08:13
_2and no it wont be "open"  it's established connection only.08:13
_2nuxil and no need to add more iptables rules   the  "established"  will let the traffic back in from the "established" ip you connected to.08:14

rodya_does adept keep a log somewhere of which packages it has installed? I'm trying to figure out files it's pulling from my aptoncd repo disk so I can collate all the necessary ones onto just one disc08:17
_2rodya_ maybe.  but are you looking for the general dpkg log insted ?08:17
_2rodya_ check  /var/log/dpkg*08:17
_2!dpkg | rodya_08:18
ubotturodya_: dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.08:18
_2!adept | rodya_08:18
ubotturodya_: adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto08:18
rodya_I might be. Basically, I'm trying to install the BARE minimum files needed for russian language menus, the gimp, and mp3/xvid/dvd support on a clean install of hardy08:18
_2!locales08:19
ubottuTo set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf08:19
rodya_on one computer with internet, so I can later figure out which ones to put together to install on computers without the internet08:19
_2rodya_ i haven't viewed it but that localeConf page may be what you want08:19
tomaskoi like what wubi does, i like the "my grandma can use it" nature of ubuntu, but i like the speed of arch linux. is there any way i can have all three or at least a fast ubuntu on a laptop intended for a technophobe?08:20
_2and yes if you still want the log file     <_2> rodya_ check  /var/log/dpkg*08:20
tomaskolet me rephrase... how do i make ubuntu faster? is there an easy way to stop a lot of the services that start up by default from not starting up? i remember having to use something like sysv-rc-conf and it was painful. no GUI frontend (like the system settings -> advanced -> services) eased the pain either08:20
_2tomasko you undo all the "defaults"   i.e. configure the base system and the desktop with only the things you need08:21
rodya_I'm a gnome person myself, but doing this for a school with kubuntu installed, so I'm just a bit of a deer in headlights, and keep stumbling stupidly over myself due to differences in the interface... Really need to get more comfortable with the terminal side of all this :P08:21
Big_Buddha_Daddyhow do i reset the iptables to the default settings?08:21

Big_Buddha_Daddycoolio08:23
_2Big_Buddha_Daddy iptables -L   # this will list the rules08:23
Big_Buddha_Daddyok08:24
tomasko_2: i don't have bios access to this machine so i have to boot into the lame windows install every time, so wubi seems to be my only way to a workable linux install08:24
_2Big_Buddha_Daddy sudo iptables -F   # this will flush all rules08:24
Big_Buddha_Daddyshould i do that?08:24
nuxilIP=iptables ;  for table in nat mangle ; do $IP -F ; $IP -X ; $IP $table -X ; $IP $table -F ; done08:24
tomasko_2: so, is there a way to limit what processes start up on boot? because between arch and ubuntu, i've only really noticed a difference in boot time, not actual usage latency08:24
_2tomasko have antivirus protection turned on in bios to keep you from writing a new MBR ???08:25
tomasko_2: no, it's an old corporate laptop that the company says it is fine to install linux, etc. on, but they want to retain the bios password on the system08:25

I'm running kubuntu hardy heron. can anyone lend me a hand?08:26
tomasko_2: but either way, i can't mess with the boot order or partition the system08:26
rodya_does that log file get periodically flushed? does it persist after a reboot? Just in checking for it in general, I'm not seeing it on my own laptop (though it's been a week or so since I've installed anything here)08:26
_2tomasko yes  like i said   configure everything.    but there is not a "simple one click" answer.      SO startup processes are in /etc/inittab /etc/init.d/ /etc/rc?.d/  ...08:27
_2!upstart | tomasko08:27
ubottutomasko: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/08:27
tomaskooh, okay, thanks08:28
_2rodya_ no and yes, and i did use a wildcard on purpose, because cron will make backups.   /var/log/dpkg*   <<< may not be one file but many.08:28
_2tomasko there may also be several documents on the interweb about speeding up ubuntu.    but i will caution that installed in ntfs space is going to run slower than in native linux space.  it just has to.08:30

rodya_ah, man! It just occurred to me that this may be indeed trickier than I thought. I'm going to need to find out what i need installed on this fresh box without internet here, then I have to go to a computer with access to the net, but is running windows... so I will have to hand download these files from the package mirror site. I s'pose all i need is whatever app will generate a wget script, and then read it myself, and one by one download the necessary08:48
rodya_files?08:48
rodya_man, Ninotsminda just needs unlimited DSL already :(08:49
* Agent_bob thinks there should be one more package "apt-complain" to allow users to complain dirrectly to package builders about bugs in [pre,post][rm,inst] scripts....08:49
Agent_bobrodya_ i think that's what apt-zip is for08:49
rodya_okay. that's the one I'll explore. thanks for the help!08:49
Agent_bobrodya_ also dont do "apt-get clean" it clears out the package cache.   i.e. deletes the packages you already dl'd.  insted save them to carry to the other boxen.    they are found in /var/cache/apt/archives/08:50
Agent_bobrodya_ i use a script to keep all packages i dl    you might have a look at it for thoughts maybe.    if you know anything about shell scripts.     http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d4976c8df08:53
Agent_bobwith it ^ doing apt-get clean   doesn't hurt, it only deletes symlinks  the packages remain.08:54
Agent_bobjust a thought.08:54
rodya_you know for the time being it might just be a bit simpler - so long as adept shows in it's "preview changes" display every dependency it's going to install along with requested ones, I can just jot them down and pull them from the mirrors myself?08:58
rodya_or am i missing a critical piece of the puzzle?08:58
Agent_bobwell butning to cd what you dl'd on one box and copying them to the other boxen saves dl'ing again.09:00
Agent_bobburn09:00
Agent_bobwhat i'm saying is cloning is easy.  you setup one. and copy too all others.09:01
rodya_well yeah, that's the ultimate goal - after the fact I'll put them all together using my computer to create a special aptoncd repo disc and there we go... in business09:02
rodya_if I'm not missing anything09:02
Agent_bobnot sure.  but you may be missing the fact that if the packages exist in /var/cache/apt/archives/  on any given box  you can use the package manager of choice to install them without needing to dl anything.   they are already local....09:03
rodya_no that much I got, I just don't think I'm going toget the okay at this office today to install hardy on one of their computers, even though I'm going to need to do that eventually anyway09:04
rodya_the complication is that I'll have to do the downloading itself on a windows box, most likely09:05
rodya_I suppose I could use my laptop, but it's running gutsy, so preinstalling them here and just copying the cache is a no-go09:06
chigojaHello people09:06
rodya_really hoping those hiccoughs on thinkpads get smoothed out for 8.1009:07
rodya_google as I did, it looked like half the problems (compiz, sound, wifi) have yet to really be cleaned up09:07
Agent_bobrodya_ for instance, i have 7 boxes setup alike, with same packages installed.   i want to update them for security sake.    but i don't want each to have to dl.  only one.     i run   sudo apt-get update ;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade   on the "dl" box.    then when finished. i make a tarball like this.   sudo tar -czf update.tgz /var/cache/apt/archives /var/lib/apt    copy that file "update.tgz" to all boxes and unpack it in /09:07

Agent_bobrodya_ you did notice that in the example i gave eariler   i tar'd  /var/lib/apt   also ?   that's where apt keeps track with what is avalable in it's repos.  and the /etc/apt/sources.list  lists the repos.10:47

But in reality, "out of the box" you have to run update once to tell it what's out there, as it doesn't come with that list of what was available as of the moment the version (in this case, 8.04.1) was finalized11:01
rodya_am i just about right?11:01
* nuxil wounders if rodya_ can use clusterssh11:01
Agent_bobrodya_ pretty close.    the enabled repos are current as of date of mastering.11:02
Agent_bobthe updates and security repos are always changing so there is no way to say current except from the web.11:03
rodya_but how might that explain things like "kubuntu-restricted-extras" or even "language-pack-ru" not even being visible as possible installs pre-update?11:03
rodya_like, right now if i were to sit down and type "apt-get install language-pack-ru" just to get the error "d/l failed... are you on the internet? (or something to that effect)" in fact all I get is "couldn't find language-pack-ru" - done and done11:05
Agent_bobumm because the only repo enabled on the install disk is the packages on the install disk...  ?11:06
rodya_ahhhhhhhh11:06
rodya_see that's where I had a very ridiculous misconception11:06
rodya_okay11:06
Agent_bobi.e. check the /etc/apt/sources.list file11:07
rodya_got it11:07
Agent_bobman sources.list11:08
rodya_i've got main, universe, and multiverse11:08
rodya_all available11:08
rodya_I'd assumed these things were in univ or multi, but It's just clear I'm going to at least need to run an update to get sight of these packages11:09
rodya_okay11:09
rodya_i do believe this now requires coffee and a cigarette :)11:10

__P__34hi all13:47
__P__34there is a way to use kde 4.1 and dual monitor?13:47
ahox____P__34: yes, I used the nvidia setup tool13:57
__P__34but twinvew13:58
pfee __P__34: Yes, but it's more a question regarding xrandr, not kde 4.1.13:58
__P__34or dual X ?13:58
pfee __P__34: If your drivers are good enough, then you can use xrandr to setup two monitors as clones of the one display, or have your desktop span the two monitors.13:59
pfee __P__34: It works well with Intel X3100, but not so good on an ATI FireGL Mobility T2 that I also use.14:00
__P__34i like with two desktop, one bottom panel,  i don like twinview beacuse if i enlarge window it become to stretch and big14:00
__P__34i have nvidia14:01
__P__34177 driver on kubuntu intrepid14:01
antheoHi14:01
antheoI use Ubuntu 8 and firefox3, I have plugings, but no video play in browser14:02
ahox____P__34: TwinView can use two seperate monitors and use them as such, i.e. if I maximize a window, it only maximises over one screen14:02
pfee __P__34: The xrandr commands "should" hide you from driver specifies.  There are GUIs which drive xrandr, e.g. krandrtray, but I've had less success with them.14:02
__P__34pfee:  you uses separate X on twinview?14:02
__P__34pfee me too with Krandrtray  it see only one monitor14:03
__P__34but it is up  i can use it with xubuntu14:03
__P__34ahox__: how?14:04
__P__34ahox__:  with kde 4.1?14:04
pfee__P__34: A single X display, spanning two monitors.  With xrandr you can see the current desktop virtual screen resolution and how that is mapped down onto physical monitors.14:04
ahox__Here is my xorg.conf, but be carefull, http://www.binpaste.com/v.php?id=umcss14:04
antheoI decided not to use twinview because of my video card... :-(14:05

ahox____P__34: yes14:06

_dennistertdoay i'm having troubles with another hardy build not detecting ps/2 mouse, bios system clock will *not* stay current (have swapped battery twice now), and don't want to close up this box until I'm sure the one and only case fan is cooling this P4 system well enough...no spot for a second case fan in the case14:55
=== puma is now known as pumajay
genii_dennister: Some bios for ps2 mouse have 3 options: enable/disable/auto     should be set explicitly to enable  in these cases.  Clock situation... does it reset the entire date or just the hour?14:59
_dennistergenii: had ps2 mouse set to auto, didn't work, now its set to enabled, still doesn't work...may be this i8042.nopnp bug i'm reading about in launchpad15:00
_dennistergenii: clock situation: just the hour is reset at reboot15:00
genii_dennister: The clock reset isn't battery then, it would go back to something like Jan 01 1980 or such.  System is likely using hwclock function to adjust bios time to fit whatever offset from GMT you specified for timezone15:04
_dennistergenii: u mean changing the locale to toronto (from us, now that system is installed) will fix the bios hour problem? the pnp os is doing the time change in bios?15:07
_dennisteri was planning to do that anyway, when I had some of these other hardware issues/annoyances fixed15:08
genii_dennister: If you set the timezone to GMT -5 and tell it hardware clock is NOT set to UTC (this means also GMT) then it shouldn't mess with the clock anymore15:08
geniiAnd then the bios time can be set to Toronto time15:09
_dennistergreat; next issue...mouse...i'm gonna try a few things, like the workarounds this launchpad bug suggests15:09
genii_dennister: Is the mouse some usb mouse thats plugged to a usb->ps2 adapter?15:09
ashokhi.........can anybody one help me?15:10
genii!ask | ashok15:10
ubottuashok: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)15:10
_dennistergenii: no, i am using a usb mouse right now only because the ps2 mouse has never worked with this system...no adapter has been tried yet15:10
genii_dennister: OK. Somegtimes those adapters screw up the autodetect method is all. Does it also have a ps2 keyboard on this box?15:11
ashokmy display preferences are not persisting over reboots..it keeps on sticking to 87hz refresh rate..15:11
_dennisteryep, and it's always worked15:11
ashokyeah15:12
genii_dennister: OK. Some systems no ps2 keyboard means mouse detection gets pre-empted15:12
geniiashok: Do you have session saving on?15:12
ashoksorry,, i didn't understand15:12
_dennisteri think i'm ok with 256mb of rambus memory, as there's another 256 mb of cache on the p4 cpu15:13
geniiashok: If you do not tell kubuntu to remember your settings, every boot it will return the same way it was before you changed things15:14
_dennisteror is it the asus mobo? i forget, but there seem to be an issue with not enough ram, even though the livecd said it needed 384mb of ram to use, i haven't experienced any problems that I can trace back to ram yet15:14
ashokhow i can do that? i used the option in nvidia settings control panel to save settings to xorg,conf15:14
_dennistersorry...no issues with not enough ram have been detected yet15:15
geniiashok: K-Button...System Settings.... Advanced tab ...Session Manager...  then there you can choose something like On Login- Restore Previous Session15:15
_dennistergenii: before I log out to try some things related to the ps2 mouse, is it possible that one 80mm case fan and the cpu fan is enough cooling for this p4 system?15:16
_dennisteroh, and of course there's the power supply fan for exhaust15:16
genii_dennister: Most p4 are fine with stock cooling15:16
ashokthe option "Restore Previous Session' is already checked.....15:17
_dennistergenii: ok, great, after i get the mouse issue and clock thing fixed, I'll close up the box and so some stress testing15:17
_dennisterbe back soon15:17
geniiashok: OK. Offhand then I have no immediate ideas15:20

PhilRodManaf: no one else can *change* them. And it's easy enough to alter the permissions so that no one else can view the files, if you really want17:27

PhilRodah, really? /me takes a look17:29
PhilRodthe ubuntu docs are usually good17:29
Manafyes they are,, When they tell you what to do in the GUI :-) I mean all i had do was to right-click mouse and change permissions from there17:30

geniijisaitua_: My suspicion is: When .desktop declares type as application and then just appname for executable without full path then it looks in order for that. eg: bin then usr/bin     and so on so that first match would win18:40

joe_but how will i get k9copy to do that, anyone???19:56
tictricjoe_, try k3b. That's what I (and probably everyone else) uses19:56
stdinif you want to turn video files in to a DVD you can play on a DVD player, try qdvdauthor or kmediafactory19:56
joe_what to dub movies with???19:56
joe_i have both of them but don't know how to use them19:56
joe_i wish these programs came with a manuell, i guess not19:57
tictrick9copy is very simple to use if you want to reduce from double layer dvd to single layer but if the dvd has scratches already it won't work but just hang at some read error19:57
joe_o19:57
joe_k19:57
tictricin k3b you just load the dvd and click on copy dvd -> that's all19:57
joe_i'll try it but if it don't work then that's not the program for me19:57

_dennisterhey channel, looking for some advice on how to seriously tweak runlevels and inits for two different users22:16
nuxil_dennister, the boot prosess doesnt know about users22:18
_dennisteranyone up for the challenge? I do know the basics, btw, but am looking for some best practices on which strategies to use and such22:18
nuxil*i mean the boot prossess doesnt know which user is at the pc .22:18
_dennisternuxil: yes, i realize that...these would have to come into effect after login22:18
nuxilthen you log in ,, the boot prossess is finished.. you got luck trying to do that22:18
nuxil*you need22:19

CrAcCan anybody help me with my sinus154 stick?22:21
_dennisterhere's the situation: system is being configured for a blind user, plus his sighted gf, i want it so that the blind user's default runlevel is 2-or 3, with just command line /console setup, although he or sighted user trying to help him should have the option of a switch to x22:21
_dennisterobviously, his gf and I (for support of her) would need x started at her default login22:21

CrAcAnybody who can help me with my sinus 154 stick<??22:24
nuxil_dennister, the only way i can think of is having 2 seperate grub configuration with same kernel22:24
CrAc....22:24
CrAcno service?22:24
nuxil_dennister, for example normaly you boot kernel /boot/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hdaX22:24
_dennisternuxil: see? there's an idea I hadn't thought of :-)22:25
CrAcim not some1 who dont tried something .... but ndiswrapper gets an erorr22:25
nuxilthen on with runlevel 2 i think you do something like this22:25
nuxilkernel /boot/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hdaX 222:25
