[01:11] <Rindae> can someone help me? the resolution is kinda f'ed up

[04:10] <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)
[04:11] <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.
[04:12] <evilbug> favro- i've looked and my cpu is almost 100% idle.
[04:13] <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.
[04:14] <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.
[04:15] <favro> apart from them being ovepriced I know nothing about macs
[04:16] <evilbug> so no clues?
[04:16] <favro> If it only happens in xubuntu - no - I was thinking loose heatsink or similar
[04:44] <goodluck> what office pack is better for xubuntu?
[04:45] <Odd-rationale> goodluck: well. both openoffice and abiword/gnumeric works on xubuntu. which one to use depends on your needs and your hardware...
[04:46] <Odd-rationale> goodluck: how much ram you got?
[04:46] <goodluck> 2gb, its a notebook
[04:46] <goodluck> i'm using openoffice but i'm not finding an option to configure it, some stuff like fonts, etc (not the document font, the software font)
[04:47] <Odd-rationale> goodluck: abiword (word processor) and gnumeric (spreadsheet) are very lightweight... however openoffice might work fine for your...
[04:47] <goodluck> can you tell me in which format abiword saves?
[04:47] <Odd-rationale> goodluck: the software font might be the system wide font...
[04:47] <goodluck> it isnt, its way too big
[04:48] <Odd-rationale> goodluck: it has it's own format.... however... i *think* it can also do odf, but not very well....
[04:48] <goodluck> i need some compability with windows anyway
[04:48] <goodluck> compatibility*
[04:50] <Odd-rationale> goodluck: try running "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" then open openoffice....
[04:50] <Odd-rationale> goodluck: if that doesn't work, then i'm not sure what is the issue...
[04:50] <Odd-rationale> i have to head out real quick. be back later...
[04:50] <goodluck> ok thanks Odd-rationale
[04:50] <goodluck> see you

[15:33] <Odd-rationale> Happy Software Freedom Day!!!
[16:15] <coldhak> i'm trying to chmod 0777 a folder as root, and it's saying "operation not permitted" what could cause this?
[16:18] <vidd> coldhak, you need to type sudo chmod 777 /path/to/file
[16:19] <coldhak> "as root",
[16:19] <vidd> "three digits"
[16:19] <coldhak> i tried just three digits first
[16:19] <coldhak> same result
[16:20] <vidd> is the media you are attempting to chmod read-only?
[16:21] <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 =]
[16:22] <ron_o> this may not be where to ask, but does anyone know about PAM configurations?
[16:24] <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.
[16:25] <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:
[16:26] <vidd> use pastebin
[16:26] <ron_o> <user name>              soft    cpu             3
[16:27] <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.
[16:28] <ron_o> soft would give me a limit without booting me.
[16:29] <vidd> who owns /etc/pam.conf and what is the permissions?
[16:30] <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.
[16:31] <ron_o> root owns /pam.conf
[16:31] <ron_o> let met try a reboot and I'll be back.
[16:38] <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
[16:39] <coldhak> can't access :/
[16:43] <ron_o> it didn't work...
[16:44] <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.
[16:45] <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. :)
[16:46] <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?
[16:47] <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
[16:48] <ron_o> now that's fricking addicted! lol
[16:48] <ron_o> hehe :)
[16:48] <vidd> pft
[16:49] <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.
[16:50] <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.
[16:51] <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
[16:52] <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?
[16:53] <ron_o> don't know what that is.
[16:54] <vidd> ron_o, we are quickly getting leaning towards -offtopic
[16:55] <ron_o> yup.
[16:56] <vidd> come join #xubuntu-offtopic
[17:04] <jarnos> Can you print anything by Firefox3? My browser freezes once I click on File > Print...
[17:07] <ron_o> a good way to determing what's going on is to run Firefox from within a shell.
[17:13] <vidd> jarnos, do you have a default printer set up?

[19:17] <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?
[19:18] <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
[19:19] <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.
[19:20] <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.
[19:21] <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.
[19:22] <vidd> log into the session, and go to Application->settings->Login Window
[19:22] <vidd> select "security
[19:22] <vidd> set auto-login
[19:23] <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.
[19:24] <vidd> leave the auto login alone
[19:27] <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
[19:28] <vidd> well....
[19:28] <vidd> actually....you can just set the auto....
[19:28] <vidd> ive found something you might find usefull....
[19:29] <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.
[19:30] <vidd> we want the VNC set to 1
[19:30] <vidd> go into the "Configure X Server"
[19:31] <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
[19:32] <vidd> hit the "Add/Modify" button
[19:32] <Unbe> Okay.
[19:32] <vidd> we set VT 1 up with "Servers: Standard
[19:33] <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
[19:34] <vidd> =]
[19:34] <Unbe> Hehe.
[19:34] <Unbe> Do I need to any options to VT1?
[19:35] <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
[19:36] <Unbe> Kk.  Rebooting.  Here's hoping.  :)
[19:36] <vidd> and (hopefully) all is well
[19:37] <vidd> although WHY ON EARTH would you want remote login without password is beyond me!
[19:38] <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
[19:39] <vidd> you have remote login enabled?
[19:40] <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
[19:41] <vidd> and it has to be timed login....auto wont work
[19:41] <Unbe> Aha.  Kk.
[19:42] <Unbe> Lemme try again.
[19:42] <vidd> auto is only for local....timed (should) be for both
[19:44] <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.
[19:45] <vidd> strange....
[19:45] <vidd> ah...ic
[19:45] <vidd> you are VNC'ing in.....
[19:46] <vidd> remote it
[19:46] <vidd> VNC is going to show whatever you have on the screen locally
[19:47] <vidd> you want CLI with x11 forwarding
[19:48] <vidd> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-353108.html
[19:48] <vidd> I believe this is what you actually want to do....
[19:49] <vidd> send VNC down the pike....and get the autologins and remote logins turned back off
[19:50] <Unbe> Cool, thanks--I'll check it out.
[19:50] <Unbe> I gotta take off for now, but thanks for all the help.  :)
[21:16] <jarnos> vidd, ron_o: Yes, I have a default printer set up. Firefox does not display anything in shell.
[21:16] <vidd> jarnos, how much ram you got?
[21:17] <jarnos> vidd: 1GB+256MB
[21:17] <vidd> interesting
[21:17] <vidd> i have no issues printing
[21:26] <jarnos> vidd, ron_o: now that I was patient enough, I got the printing dialog displayed, but it took 40 seconds!
[21:26] <jarnos> Maybe it is due to remote printers that are offline.
