[00:09] then maybe [00:09] I have 9.10 [00:09] I installed the ppa version [00:09] did upgrade and it became 4.4.2 [00:10] I added this: ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa. and then upgraded [00:10] Because before just nothing was working on my machine [00:10] me too) [00:11] And just installed kdropbox. Works pretty good already. Only one thing am I missing. I want to sync my notes (like with knotes) to the cloud. But its not possible yet (guess?) So I still use tomboy [00:27] hello! I'm having trouble with wireless on my laptop. I've been using it nicely for weeks but today I can't connect to internet and when I click knetworkmanager, it says "network management disabled" [00:33] is the ati driver working yet on 10.4 [00:38] hola [00:38] please help!

I just updated to 10.04 and I don't have keyboard on X, only the console, how do I fix it? === mike is now known as Guest76175 [00:44] anyone available to answer how to rollback... I think i f00ked something up, and I would like to rollback to a previous version [00:44] wow these things are way beyond me [00:44] snarkfish no I can't [00:44] there's nothing to click on snarkfish [00:45] you cant click on manage networks? [00:46] snarkfish wow, figured out! [00:46] the computer froze after a suspend [00:46] I hard rebooted it [00:46] then network-manager didn't bring devices up [00:46] found solution on net.. But thanks anyway! [00:47] g'night everyone [00:48] hi...what's the dev package for kdeutils? [00:50] m_tadeu: kdeutils-dev [00:51] tsimpson: doesn't exist === Guest76175 is now known as mike7508 [00:54] anyone able to help with rolling back [00:55] used to be able to do on boot up, but now i don' see the option [01:04] m_tadeu: there is no -dev package then === cebxan is now known as cebxan_ === cebxan_ is now known as cebxan [01:27] what's wrong whenI have to log into my hard drive, before I can see my /home directory? [01:28] what? [01:29] ) [01:30] I boot up, and log in. Then I can't see my desktop image, so I goto dolphin and click on my drive. Then it makes me login [01:30] then I can see all my folders. shouldn't this happen automatically? [01:30] well [01:31] if you can run dolphin, obviosly / is mounted [01:31] but /home won't mount. [01:31] till I login [01:31] unless, we're talking about another partition you wish to look at and isn't mounted and you require dolphin to mount it [01:31] well [01:32] $HOME is just a folder, what you mount is the partition for '/' [01:32] and your system wouldn't give you a login screen or anything without mounting it, so it's mounted [01:32] something's amiss [01:33] I think so, I gather you haven't explained your case clear enough for us [01:33] but doesn't seem to me it has anything to do with mounting [01:34] but until I click on my hard drive in using Dolphin, and it makes me log in, I can't see my /home directory. [01:34] Once I login, it lets me see my /home, and all the subfolders there, and all is well. [01:34] is there some way to add an entry to the KNR menu? [01:34] Just wish it would do it automatically [01:36] I have never used an IRC before, do I just jump in with a question? [01:37] avanesov: in this support channel, yes :-) [01:38] dbc254: once you login, all you get is the desktop :| [01:38] !ask | avanesov [01:38] avanesov: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:38] dbc254: if you are able to use dolphin..it means you are logged in [01:38] Ok, well...I am running Kubuntu 10.04 and have noticed that any app that uses sound tends to "take over" the sound card and nothing else can use it...is this working as intended or do I have a configuration problem? [01:40] <<< slow typer [01:42] avanesov: I think it has to do with drivers, I got that a couple of times only, when running xine-ui, when I was playing a dvd, other apps wouldn't playback, tillI closed it, it didn't when I played a .wmv or some other video type :| [01:43] dbc254: but if you can run dolphin, it means the '/' is mounted, as I said, it sounds to me you haven't explained clear enough, and I haven't stumbled upon that I guess [01:45] Mine does it anytime I have a video player, game or even Windows running in VB. Xine is my backend. Can you give me a starting point for resolving this? Did you fix yours? [01:46] well [01:46] it hasn't done it, it seems to be a Xine issue I'd think, xine is also my backend for dvd [01:46] hello [01:47] please, is possible to load isolinux from grub? [01:47] avanesov: it may be the xine-ui version I have, I'd think, it didn't use to do it, then again, it doesn't always, seem like only when I'm playing a dvd [01:48] tomatto_: w0t? [01:48] Is it difficult or buggy to install/try another backend? [01:48] well [01:48] Typos_King: i want to boot isolinux menus etc... via grub [01:49] you can always try say.... playing something in dragonfly, and see if the audio gets locked up [01:50] avanesov: for me as I said, it only happens when I'm playing a dvd in xine-ui, and usually if the app was started AFTER xine-ui was launched, otherwise, I can play flash videos and music or see a .wmv or .flv in xine-ui just fine [01:50] tomatto_: I guess I'm not too familiar with that one :{ [01:51] kk, ill do some digging then.

[10:04] ForgeAus: i want to get bass redirected to subwoofer [10:04] i am having creative live 24 bit soundcard [10:05] phoenix I really dn't know much about audo like that, does that card have JACK (so you can specify what port does what function? [10:06] really its about the .1 part of 5.1 isn't it? maybe try and google terms like "linux subwoofer"? [10:07] ForgeAus: one moment [10:08] (sorry about my typing, this notebook drops letters sometimes) [10:09] ForgeAus: i tried everything but not no use [10:11] in that case I dont think I'm of any help for you personally [10:12] but there are often people on this channel who know far more about linux than I do [10:12] ForgeAus: are you using 5.1 [10:12] no [10:14] ForgeAus: i dont know anthing about the audio system in kubuntu, is kubuntu using alsa or phonon [10:15] !Phonon [10:15] hmmm the bot doesn't know either it seems [10:16] I think Phonon is a KDE4 component [10:16] Alsa is a linux sound system I'm not certain its an either/or proposition here [10:16] ForgeAus: have used windows [10:17] ForgeAus: have you used windows [10:17] yes [10:18] looks like I was right about alsa + phonon [10:18] phonon uses alsa like a backend [10:20] by default Phonon used xine as a backend, which uses alsa by default [10:20] it can use "something else", depending on what phonon plugins you have. for instance pulseaudio, gstreamer, or even vlc [10:21] tsimpson: i am using xine === arthur is now known as ForgeAus [10:26] tsimpson: i tried configuring the alsa setting to route the low frequency signals to the subwoofer , but it didnot work [10:27] tsimpson: is there a plugin or any media player that would do this job [10:38] phoenix__: I'm not sure, I only have 2 speakers [10:38] !sound [10:38] If you're having problems with sound see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [10:38] check those links [10:38] tsimpson: ok === ForgeAus is now known as ForgeAwhats === ForgeAwhats is now known as ForgeAus [10:49] hi, from time to time I get logged out without doing anything. this is really annoying but I haven't found anything about such behavior/bug on the web.

[18:56] moetunes: Ok, I'm gonna try [18:58] Bodom: apart from this, your Kubuntu cd can be corrupted, and so everything you install with it...

[19:06] i would use the kubuntu cd as live cd, mount the root drive somewhere and then do a grub-install to it [19:07] like sudo mount /dev/sdax, sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda [19:10] Spezl: it leaves me wondering how common this scenario is, it never makes it into the live cd as a real quick option [19:11] well, i can'/t say how common it is, however i already needed it that often that i wrote it down to a piece of paper ;) [19:11] yeah, I can do all that no problem, haven't really checked the latest live cd out [19:12] was sort of just hoping I see an option on the live cd "restore MBR" [19:12] im just being lazy :/ [19:12] well typing two lines into konsole isn'/t that much work, is it? ^^ [19:14] nah, the disc insert/removal waiting commands, etc sort of too much when im feeling lazy [19:17] well, im just backing up my disk right now. when this is over, I'll go install Windows [19:18] windows will break in 5 days top [19:18] hehe [19:18] only if you're an idiot [19:19] seen it happen to the best befor [19:19] anyhow i ran it ok for 2 years but i hardend it good [19:20] i just dont like it anymore [19:20] im trying to create script to save first result with find as source_filename, but find wont stop on first hit. It will save all of the zip files to source_filename, How to stop find after first hit? My script [19:20] for source_filename in $( [19:20] find '/home/user/packs' -type f -iname '*zip' [19:20] ) [19:20] mika__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:21] mika__: read man find it will give a clue [19:22] i red it but it doesn't have command to stop on first hit [19:22] mika__: that answers the question then [19:23] hmm, how could i search for filename in console and save it as modifier? [19:23] and break on first hit of course === hanzz is now known as Guest96485 [19:24] hey [19:25] mika__: grep has an option for that iirc - I would do something like ls /dir | grep -? word [19:25] ive extended screen to my other lcd by usin nvidia xserver twinview, but i cant switch it back to normal [19:27] i wanna disable the feature to extended my display [19:27] but i cant find it anywhere [19:27] n8w: I don't use nvidia here but isn't there some docs for it in /usr/share? [19:27] n8w: I don't use nvidia here but isn't there some docs for it in /usr/share/doc? [19:28] moetunes: well im tryin to find the solution...but nothin yet [19:36] hi peeps [19:37] i wanted to know how can i stop kdm? i use ctrl+alt+f1 but it is no use [19:37] i get only a blinking cursor [19:37] not a real console [19:38] tux_: uh.. what about ctrl+alt+f2?

[20:11] dunno :P [20:11] shadeslayer yes ;P [20:11] sheytan: http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/rendering-problems-h264 [20:11] found this via google [20:12] brb === freddie0509 is now known as lazythorty [20:19] if I want to use a whole drive as one volume, do I still need make one partition using the whole disk space ? [20:21] this business of having windows expand if they are dragged tp the top of the screen has got to go... does anyone know how to stop this [20:40] How to clear dolphin and other kde applications' cache? [20:42] anyone that can't shutdown anymore? If I shutdown at the login window stage, it works. If I do once logged, it does not shut down complitely! [20:48] how can I change into Window XP from kubuntu legally without paying $ ::::::[ [20:48] um, there's no way pirating legally [20:54] henkka-: if you want slavery, you have to pay :) [20:54] * markit thinks there are strange people out there [20:54] if you want freedom, you've to suffer! [20:54] 8D [20:54] henkka-: probably, but does it worth a lot :) [20:54] like what 100 bucks? [20:55] D: [20:55] henkka-: well, if you pay me 1.000 bucks maybe I could conside restart suffering from Windows pains [20:55] what's better with linux ? [20:55] but only for limited time [20:55] I mean I lost my HD where i had windows XP and I cant get a new one [20:55] so Im stuck with kubuntu and it bugs me almost every day that things have to be so hard [20:55] using linux [20:56] like right now i just wasted several hours trying to re-encode this .avi file and in the end it still wasnt possible [20:56] henkka-: mmmm don't know, I find XP very hard and annoying [20:56] well, once I tried to connect my usb keyboard to usb port of the monitor, XP asked for a driver, then did not reboot anymore [20:57] henkka-, what`s better with windows? [20:57] I dont know compared to this my compute rrun better on XP, didnt crash, didnt have compatibility problems with 90% of the software that's primarily made for windows [20:57] henkka-: you don't have to use software that is made for windows, think different! :) [20:57] yea you do coz the software available for linux [20:57] henkka-, exactly the same with ubuntu [20:57] not sufficient in many cases and it can be hard to use [20:58] if you bring my children, that have not been exposed to M$ crap, in front of XP, they find it very ugly and not functional [20:58] henkka-, for example? [20:58] henkka-: so go for windows, 100$ is not that much for such a heaven :) [20:58] yeah im getting there [20:58] to the point where I'd actually be willing to pay [20:58] if is money that motivates you, you are on the wrong path with GNU/Linux [20:58] for it so I dwouldnt have to use this [20:59] you are welcome :) [20:59] henkka-, what software that you use in windows does not exist in linux? [20:59] using GNU/Linux you are doing yourself a favour, not to me [20:59] Sonsee: well, we all know that a lot of sw is only for M$empire world [21:00] yea it's no like I want to support M$ [21:00] GNU/Linux is not a M$crap replacer, thanks God [21:00] I mean before I actually GOT linux I thouhgt [21:00] MS and windows was the most terrible thing [21:00] henkka-: you are :) you have been transformed in a trained monkey of the M$ world [21:00] you know and I thought linux would probably be a lot better [21:00] you are doomed :) [21:00] markit, but WHO needs all this software? [21:00] but experience shows it the opposite now [21:01] Sonsee you know [21:01] OS doesnt actually do anything [21:01] it's there just so you can use the other software [21:01] henkka-: my experience is that I'm a lot happy with GNU/Linux, I feel so happy with it, it's stimulating, is not against me and my will [21:01] and if something is wrong, I can fix it and learn [21:01] well im glad for u [21:01] with XP was only a matter of reformatting [21:01] I wish I could think like u [21:01] henkka-, you all talk about "you can use on windows a lot of software", but WHO does it need and WHAT software?)) [21:01] hey guys is anyone here know what program matt farrel use in die hard 4 [21:01] henkka-: you will, if you insist and change your habbits [21:02] hey guys is anyone here know what chat program matt farrel use in die hard 4 [21:02] henkka-: at least no one force you to use linux [21:03] test [21:03] chandrariri: I've no idea [21:04] chandrariri: do you have a screenshot? [21:04] yes ihave,how to show it here? [21:06] !imagebin | chandrariri [21:06] chandrariri: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [21:06] oh [21:06] apaprently i continued the conversation on the wrong channel [21:06] ......... in anycase im fucking tired === |mendred| is now known as mendred [21:06] henkka-: frankly, I can understand your frustration [21:07] henkka-: but you have to think "in the long term" [21:07] well [21:07] I think the Linux idea is great [21:07] and try to force you to the new environment, with it's different way of work [21:07] belive me, once you have done the "jump", you will never look back [21:08] I'd be happy to back to windows right now [21:08] if you just "try", if you think that all is wrong at the first problem, you will fail [21:08] after quite a while of using this [21:08] henkka-: could i ask how old are you ? [21:08] henkka-: why not go with one of the LTS releases, they should be pretty stable after a while [21:08] 23 [21:08] henkka-: pirated copies of windows are everywhere, M$ is happy they use and be dependent from it's sofware [21:08] not to meantion i've tried changing from Kubuntu to windows and ubuntu [21:08] and debian [21:09] but those attempts fauiled due to bad luck [21:09] henkka-: what are you doing so particular that a 23 old men can't do with GNU/Linux? [21:09] henkka-: at least use what you like, its nothing bad on windows, its just closed source, linux is so much more than a idea :) [21:09] is like "matrix", someone likes be in the "dream" [21:09] that is more confortable [21:09] well [21:10] but is not real life [21:10] it's not exactly the same [21:10] or even closely the same [21:10] once you're an experienced linux user of course the balance of things changes [21:10] or in general very adept at using computers [21:10] markit i uploading [21:10] @markit uploading [21:10] lol @ chandrariri [21:11] hey how u do that [21:11] mention my name with color [21:11] henkka-: well linux is not for "usual" users, you still need some knowledge, and if you dont got it, you need to get it [21:11] im new [21:12] henkka-: http://www.fsf.org/resources/what-is-fs [21:12] but the reality of things are that 1. if you are not familiar with linux, you really cant tell which distro would be useful for you 2. linux is hard to use and figuring it out takes time, just installing programs sometimes get very complicated 3. since windows is more popular, most software are made for windows which means you're less restricted [21:12] although 3. is slightly balanced because there's the windows emulator [21:12] henkka-: 2) aptitude install packagename [21:12] so u can try to use windows programs under linux which is great [21:12] chandrariri: if someone types your name it'll be highlighted automatically, e.g. if you'd type rork I'll see the line in an orange bar [21:12] henkka-: the part with software is not true imho :) but yah, if you dont ready to learn new stuff, linux is not the way for you :) [21:12] hey markit here the pict http://imagebin.org/97844 [21:13] 1) choosing the distro is not really a problem, just different flavours of freedom [21:13] nah it is a problem [21:13] because it makes it really hard fro an inexperienced user to start using linux [21:13] i am an example of that [21:14] henkka-: I'm interested in your experience... could you be more specific? often problems of people that touch GNU/Linux the first time are not real problems [21:14] well [21:14] well, i think it's widely spread over the internet that ubuntu is probably the best "starter package" to linux .. for me it served that purpose [21:14] I mean, is auto-generated problems because they take the wrong aproach [21:14] because my hard drive died [21:14] iam first timer [21:14] I had to buy a new clean HD [21:14] and so I got linux from library [21:14] henkka-: died because of Linux? [21:14] it was an old version and didnt support anything [21:15] henkka-: ok, like buy a copy of Windows 3.1 [21:15] and it was impossible to tell from outsdie wihtout any knowledge which of the linuxes in library may've been of any use [21:15] no the HD just died on it's own [21:15] so you can't complain M$ if Win 3.1 is not good in 2010 [21:15] hey guys,what chat program in this pict use? [21:15] yeah but the problem was [21:15] http://imagebin.org/97844 [21:15] henkka-: well if you would use linux since years, you would have the same problems with windows, its only a point of view [21:15] you can download the most uptodate linux distro [21:15] hey guys,what chat program in this pict use?http://imagebin.org/97844 [21:15] itw as not possible to determine which of the linuxes was useful other than by looking at years on the covers of the discs [21:16] so then the programs for htat linu were not compatible and itw asnt even possible to ge a bootloader to install another version of linux [21:16] henkka-: and all those disks were old? [21:16] henkka-: how long you tried to use linux ? [21:16] anyway then i managed to get Kubuntu [21:16] which I noticed at first was heaver OS than XP [21:16] henkka-: there are "live" versions, you can try without even installing them [21:16] chandrariri: I think noone knows, could be anything that uses some advanced skins or it could've been custom written [21:16] and anyway that was the first reason why i tried to change [21:16] henkka-: limited ram? [21:16] to another linux [21:16] no it's nota quesiton of ram it just ran worse than XP [21:17] define "worse" [21:17] it is graphically pleasing I suppose it comes with a price anyway [21:17] slower [21:17] anyway [21:17] difficoult to belive, since often XP is bloated and trashing [21:17] i can'/t really see henkka- s point .. i was fed up with windows, so i googled something like "newbie's linux distro" and there i was, installed ubuntu (then kubuntu) and was happy, and so i am until today ^^ [21:17] but I take your words for granted [21:17] I dont know for me it ran perfectly [21:18] for a few years without problems, viruses or crashes or whatever [21:18] although I did remove most of everything extra from it [21:18] hey hey look at this pict http://imagebin.org/97844 [21:19] henkka-: even antivirus running trashes windows usually [21:19] it takes a lot to load files [21:19] well i didnt use antivirus they're useless [21:19] henkka-: sure, there is no defence in windows :) [21:20] well can u explain how i got 0 viruses during 2 years of using XP ? [21:20] it's build insecure, to let M$ sell "improved" versions [21:20] without using an antivirus [21:20] henkka-: because you don't know but you got them [21:20] I installed one every now and then [21:20] just to see if i got a virus [21:20] how can't you tell? antivirus have a 70-80% rate [21:20] and there never was anything [21:20] you miss always the latest ones, for instance [21:20] and besides it ran perfectly [21:21] so if there was one it wasnt causing problems either [21:21] well, mean time for XP "pure" connected in internet before to be contaminated is around 20 minutes [21:21] yea [21:21] so you are really telling a strange story [21:21] well I've a HW firewal in the DSL modem [21:22] or you had a GNU/Linux with a XP interface ;) [21:22] and I had Jetico SW firewall on XP too [21:22] which was mostly to block software behavior [21:22] henkka-: mmm M$ addicted tend to install cracked programs [21:22] cracked program = trojan for sure [21:22] like some program accessing internet that doesnt need to access internet, like winamp [21:22] then they use IE to navigate, that is cracker's heaven [21:22] and I didnt use IE [21:23] of course not it's worse than firefox [21:23] 8) [21:23] sure, is known for it's aderence to web standards [21:23] and to be rock solid against malicious sites [21:23] :) [21:23] in anycase [21:24] markit: I have the same experience, firewall in the router, not opening suspicious emails, no pirated software and firefox. Nothing found on scans also. [21:24] rork: probably, if you limit your actions a lot M$ crap can resist [21:24] yea hardware firewall is more reliable than software anyway [21:25] but is not designed to resist to anything :) [21:25] well I didnt limit myself with anything [21:25] if not using pirated software is a limitation - which I didnt really experience [21:25] just take your laptop and go around with UMTS connectivity and you will tell me how good it is [21:25] it's not much compared to being limited to linux software + emuilating [21:25] markit: you're a bit biased i would say. i experienced quite the same as henkka- .. was fed up with windows for other reasons [21:26] Spezl: I have a computer shop near my house, their main business is remove viruses and restore crashing computers [21:26] there must be a reason for that :) [21:26] yeah point taken by default windows XP is insecure and and internet explorer is crap [21:26] well, when i look at some of my friends computers, they're mostly incredibly infected, but i can'/t imagine how they do that [21:26] in the firm I wark for, we were in our knees this december because of conficker [21:27] we have kaspersky antivirus in every pc [21:27] and hw firewall, and what you like [21:27] but every host was contaminated, except our "backbone system" that run on GNU/Linux [21:27] maybe users that are likely to switch to linux are more aware of what they're doing on the web than the equal user? [21:27] ciao a tutti [21:27] (zimbra and samba) [21:27] in anycase [21:27] i've been trying to watch this .avi file [21:27] !it | totino [21:27] totino: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[21:30] hello :> as a friendly warning to everyone who is using 10.04 (64-bit edition), i've discovered that ktorrent (the bittorrent client included with kubuntu as a default) is occasionally corrupting downloads...the same files downloaded with transmission-qt are perfectly fine...i'm going to file a bug report upstream [21:30] markit: true.. there's a german saying.. roughly means "every new beginning is hard" (: [21:30] prower: I guess i have this damn issue too [21:30] wise people :) [21:30] thank you ;) [21:30] Thanks for conforming anyways [21:31] AhmedBH, You too? :> The files seem to download and complete just fine, but the md5sums are all off, it's very strange...in either case transmission-qt is a great alternative === wagner is now known as wagner_ [21:31] rork: i think so ..movie just poison braining [21:32] I've problems with shutdown in a server I'm going to install as ltsp server in a school... is sure related to KDE or some program that runs after login [21:32] markit well are u a wizard? [21:32] prower: Kinda yeah i discoverd this yesteday and the day before yesterday i thought ktorrent would be better but old is gold i would rather stick myself to transmission [21:32] can u tell em how i can make that fle viewable now [21:32] anyone else experiencing it? [21:32] prower:Hello all :) I wanna set my computer's time with a time server all i wanna know is , "ntp.ubuntu.com" is a correct time server by ubuntu and if so how do i refresh it once seleted ? [21:32] so i dont have to waste a weekend trying to find out :7 [21:32] henkka-: well, I'm not in multimedia sector, but you can ask me privately, just in case [21:33] so you mean you're officially part of kubuntu in someway? [21:33] AhmedBH: ntp.ubuntu.com is fine, if you install ntpdate it will be run at boot. You can manually update with `sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com` or you can cron it [21:33] AhmedBH, I figured i'd give it a try as well, I removed it once I figured out what was going on but I'm sure I'll file a bug report anyway :> As for the time server question, I'm fairly certain that server name is correct, it should refresh itself automatically [21:34] rork: Thanks i wanted to know about refreshing too so i can try it out by changing the date myself just to make sure its working fine [21:34] prower: Thanks you too :) [21:35] rork:21 May 23:35:13 ntpdate[6112]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting [21:35] Is this okay ? [21:35] Socket is in use? [21:37] AhmedBH: doesn't sound good to me, can you try again in a couple of minutes? maybe it was allready updating [21:37] No actually i have added ntp.ubuntu.com to the server list, isnt it saying its already EXISTING ? cause its been added by me and every time it will update itself ? [21:37] when ever i connect to internet !! [21:39] GTG see you tomorrow its already midnight in here [21:39] Ciao all [21:42] guys can terminal use for chatting?

[23:06] heavybreaker: Probably you're mounting it as root… you should add the ‘user’ option in /etc/fstab to allow non-root users to mount and unmount it (if that is truly your desire) [23:07] Alright =] [23:08] twey: can i mount windows without enter password?as root?
