| evilbug | what can i do to my xubuntu to not have it heat up a lot and run my fans like crazy just from running xchat and pidgin? (i'm running hardy with latest updates, default config) | 04:10 |
| favro | it wouldn't be xubuntu causing that | 04:11 |
| favro | in terminal run top and see if anything is maxing the cpu | 04:11 |
| evilbug | with windows it only happens when i game, and that's [obviously] understandable. | 04:11 |
| evilbug | favro- i've looked and my cpu is almost 100% idle. | 04:12 |
| favro | f it is idle what is heating up? - could only be graphics or power supply I would think | 04:13 |
| evilbug | i was thinking graphics... but no clue what to do about it. | 04:13 |
| favro | do you dual boot windows? | 04:14 |
| evilbug | if it's any help, this is what i used to install my graphics driver > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro | 04:14 |
| evilbug | i tri-boot os x, xubuntu, and xp. | 04:14 |
| favro | apart from them being ovepriced I know nothing about macs | 04:15 |
| evilbug | so no clues? | 04:16 |
| favro | If it only happens in xubuntu - no - I was thinking loose heatsink or similar | 04:16 |

| coldhak | i'm trying to chmod 0777 a folder as root, and it's saying "operation not permitted" what could cause this? | 16:15 |
| vidd | coldhak, you need to type sudo chmod 777 /path/to/file | 16:18 |
| coldhak | "as root", | 16:19 |
| vidd | "three digits" | 16:19 |
| coldhak | i tried just three digits first | 16:19 |
| coldhak | same result | 16:19 |
| vidd | is the media you are attempting to chmod read-only? | 16:20 |
| coldhak | ah, i think i found the problem. fusesmb was still running on it | 16:21 |
| coldhak | it was being used :) | 16:21 |
| vidd | yep...that would make it read-only =] | 16:21 |
| ron_o | this may not be where to ask, but does anyone know about PAM configurations? | 16:22 |
| vidd | what do you want to know? | 16:24 |
| ron_o | I configure the PAM configuration files the way it obviously must be configured. It ain't hard to follow the great examples they use, but I get nothing. | 16:24 |
| ron_o | PAM doesn't work at all. | 16:25 |
| ron_o | do I need to restart my system? | 16:25 |
| ron_o | I wouldn't think so. This ain't Windows. :) | 16:25 |
| ron_o | in /etc/security/limits.conf this is what I have: | 16:25 |
| vidd | use pastebin | 16:26 |
| ron_o | <user name> soft cpu 3 | 16:26 |
| ron_o | for a test run.. meaning that the user can use cpu for 3 minutes and get warned (as a test) of the overlimit. | 16:27 |
| ron_o | "soft" should give me the limit. | 16:27 |
| ron_o | soft would give me a limit without booting me. | 16:28 |
| vidd | who owns /etc/pam.conf and what is the permissions? | 16:29 |
| vidd | also.... you must restart the service you are restricting | 16:30 |
| vidd | in this case, a reboot would be required | 16:30 |
| ron_o | ahh, thanks. That might be it. | 16:30 |
| ron_o | root owns /pam.conf | 16:31 |
| ron_o | let met try a reboot and I'll be back. | 16:31 |
| coldhak | i'm trying to install get fusesmb to work, and it does for root, but once it's running the folder's not visible for any other users in thunar | 16:38 |
| coldhak | can't access :/ | 16:39 |
| ron_o | it didn't work... | 16:43 |
| vidd | then IDK | 16:44 |
| vidd | sorry | 16:44 |
| ron_o | in /etc/pam.d/login I have limits set to: # Sets up user limits according to /etc/security/limits.conf | 16:44 |
| ron_o | session required pam_limits.so | 16:44 |
| ron_o | IDK? | 16:44 |
| ron_o | i don't know.. | 16:44 |
| ron_o | ok.. thanks. | 16:44 |
| ron_o | like I said, it should be easier than this. For crying out loud. I just want to set up limits on my computer time per day. | 16:45 |
| vidd | this might help....http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.files/doc/aixfiles/pam.conf.htm | 16:45 |
| ron_o | 2 hours a day CPU time should be plenty for anyone. | 16:45 |
| ron_o | thanks. | 16:45 |
| vidd | but why limit it? | 16:45 |
| ron_o | I am a computer junkaholic. :) | 16:45 |
| ron_o | the other day I was doing one thing and 45 minutes went by like in an instant. I was like, 'wow!' | 16:46 |
| vidd | then set a cron job to shut down =] | 16:46 |
| coldhak | :| just two hours? | 16:46 |
| ron_o | vidd, I know, I know. I can get around PAM too, but that would be too easy to just start back up. | 16:47 |
| coldhak | i've been on for eight, just today. 20+ yesterday | 16:47 |
| ron_o | I'm in the worst shape in me life... :/ | 16:47 |
| coldhak | get a laptop. so you can walk to the park | 16:47 |
| ron_o | now that's fricking addicted! lol | 16:48 |
| ron_o | hehe :) | 16:48 |
| vidd | pft | 16:48 |
| vidd | thats nothing.... | 16:49 |
| ron_o | and just because you're at the park, doesn't mean you're still not getting fatter. :) | 16:49 |
| vidd | i once spent 36 hours straight on the computer | 16:49 |
| ron_o | wow.. | 16:49 |
| coldhak | but you've got to move to get there | 16:49 |
| ron_o | ferget that one. | 16:49 |
| coldhak | vidd, once? | 16:49 |
| ron_o | I get all depressed after 4 hours or more. | 16:49 |
| coldhak | WoW, it causes problems. | 16:49 |
| vidd | that i can remember in recent memory | 16:50 |
| ron_o | funny, I practiced Tai Chi before... never in my life did anything make time go so slow... weird. | 16:50 |
| coldhak | there's enough things to do on and to this machine, i'd never get it done, even if i didn't sleep | 16:50 |
| ron_o | it must be the concentration | 16:50 |
| ron_o | but computers are just the opposite. | 16:50 |
| ron_o | I think we all go into a trance because everyone I know reports how time flies on the internet. | 16:51 |
| ron_o | or on the computer. | 16:51 |
| coldhak | depends what i'm doing, but usually, yeah | 16:51 |
| coldhak | brb | 16:52 |
| ron_o | I swear I'd practice Tai Chi like 30 minutes and it would feel like 2 hours. Quite invigorating, really. | 16:52 |
| jarnos | ron_o: how about asahi? | 16:52 |
| ron_o | don't know what that is. | 16:53 |

| Unbe | Hey, folks--is there any way to make an Xubuntu install automagically log in on boot with no display attached? | 19:17 |
| Unbe | At present, I just get a warning that says "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode." | 19:17 |
| vidd | Unbe, you mean like auto login to cli-only system? | 19:17 |
| Unbe | No--I actually want to start an X session automatically, that I can VNC in and control when I need to. | 19:18 |
| vidd | Unbe, that means you do not have the correct graphics driver installed | 19:18 |
| Unbe | vidd: When I have a display attached, everything works fine; when I don't have a display attached, I get the low graphics warning. | 19:19 |
| vidd | its trying to display your stuff, but the driver it auto-picked cant handle the higher display settings | 19:19 |
| Unbe | Or rather, that's what's being output--I can see it either via VNC or when I plug a display in after login. | 19:19 |
| vidd | ic | 19:20 |
| Unbe | Is there a way to force it to use certain screen geometry, rather than trying to auto-detect? | 19:20 |
| vidd | so the issue is that you want a headless server with x11 forwarding | 19:20 |
| Unbe | Correct, but I also want the session to start without my having to log in remotely. | 19:20 |
| Unbe | I have both XDMCP and Xvnc working right now, so remote login works fine, but then the session only starts when I actively connect, as opposed to being perpetually active. | 19:21 |
| vidd | log into the session, and go to Application->settings->Login Window | 19:22 |
| vidd | select "security | 19:22 |
| vidd | set auto-login | 19:22 |
| vidd | set the "timed login | 19:23 |
| Unbe | Yeah--that's what I have going now. But then if there's no display attached, it logs in and gives me the low graphics warning, rather than starting my session. | 19:23 |
| vidd | to something like 1 second | 19:23 |
| Unbe | I haven't played with the timed login, though. | 19:23 |
| vidd | leave the auto login alone | 19:24 |
| Unbe | Okay--so I should have both auto and timed login set? | 19:27 |
| vidd | no | 19:27 |
| vidd | no auto | 19:27 |
| vidd | only timed | 19:27 |
| vidd | well.... | 19:28 |
| vidd | actually....you can just set the auto.... | 19:28 |
| vidd | ive found something you might find usefull.... | 19:28 |
| vidd | your VNC is set to a specific VT? | 19:29 |
| Unbe | I've tried setting it both to :0 and :1, if that's what you mean. | 19:29 |
| vidd | we want the VNC set to 1 | 19:30 |
| vidd | go into the "Configure X Server" | 19:30 |
| Unbe | Okay . . . | 19:31 |
| vidd | Add VT 1 | 19:31 |
| vidd | or is it there already? | 19:31 |
| Unbe | Nope. | 19:31 |
| Unbe | So VT 1 or -VT 1? | 19:31 |
| vidd | so add it | 19:31 |
| vidd | hit the "Add/Modify" button | 19:32 |
| Unbe | Okay. | 19:32 |
| vidd | we set VT 1 up with "Servers: Standard | 19:32 |
| Unbe | kk | 19:33 |
| vidd | then we set VT 0 up with "Servers: Terminal | 19:33 |
| Unbe | Kk. | 19:33 |
| vidd | reboot, cross fingers, prey | 19:33 |
| vidd | =] | 19:34 |
| Unbe | Hehe. | 19:34 |
| Unbe | Do I need to any options to VT1? | 19:34 |
| vidd | just Command = /usr/bin/X -br -audit 0 | 19:35 |
| Unbe | Kk. And I leave Xvnc set to :1, correct? | 19:35 |
| vidd | yep | 19:35 |
| Unbe | Kk. Rebooting. Here's hoping. :) | 19:36 |
| vidd | and (hopefully) all is well | 19:36 |
| vidd | although WHY ON EARTH would you want remote login without password is beyond me! | 19:37 |
| Unbe | Hmm. Still no autolog--I get the GDM login page. | 19:38 |
| vidd | thats almost like saying: "please come hack me and my entire network!" | 19:38 |
| Unbe | It's essentially a video server, and it's not accessible from outside the network. | 19:38 |
| vidd | bir daka | 19:38 |
| vidd | you have remote login enabled? | 19:39 |
| Unbe | I want it to be running perpetually--including some graphical tools--and I actually want to start VNC only via SSH with port forwarding, so it'll only be accessible via SSH, rather than both. | 19:40 |
| vidd | you need to have remote login enabled in order for remote timed login to funtion | 19:40 |
| vidd | and it has to be timed login....auto wont work | 19:41 |
| Unbe | Aha. Kk. | 19:41 |
| Unbe | Lemme try again. | 19:42 |
| vidd | auto is only for local....timed (should) be for both | 19:42 |
| Unbe | *sigh* | 19:44 |
| Unbe | Same problem. Timed login is working, but again, since there's no display detected, it's going into the failsafe mode. | 19:44 |
| vidd | strange.... | 19:45 |
| vidd | ah...ic | 19:45 |
| vidd | you are VNC'ing in..... | 19:45 |
| vidd | remote it | 19:46 |
| vidd | VNC is going to show whatever you have on the screen locally | 19:46 |
| vidd | you want CLI with x11 forwarding | 19:47 |
| vidd | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-353108.html | 19:48 |
| vidd | I believe this is what you actually want to do.... | 19:48 |
| vidd | send VNC down the pike....and get the autologins and remote logins turned back off | 19:49 |
| Unbe | Cool, thanks--I'll check it out. | 19:50 |
