[00:39] <TheoMurpse> I forgot the username and password to an install of xubuntu on an ooooold box. I know I can boot into recovery mode to get that info, but when I boot into recovery mode, it asks for a root password. I sure as heck don't remember setting any root password, and Googling gives me one result after another that denies there even IS a root password.
[00:39] <TheoMurpse> So what is the default root password for xubuntu in recovery mode?
[00:40] <TheoMurpse> Follow-up question: has this always been the case? Because this is an old install of xubuntu from maybe a couple years ago or more. I'm not even sure what version of xubuntu is installed.
[01:01] <TheoMurpse> Thanks anyway. I managed to find my way in by altering GRUB.
[01:01] <TheoMurpse> Turns out I haven't logged in since April 2007!
[01:46] <Weapon_X> Hey all
[01:46] <Weapon_X> Im new to Xubuntu
[01:46] <Weapon_X> got a couple of questions
[01:46] <Weapon_X> switched from ubuntu to xubuntu
[01:47] <Weapon_X> WHen I had ubuntu I had a preferences menu, in xubuntu it says its there but it is not showing up.WHat am I doing wrong
[04:16] <S55f080c0> hello
[05:34] <ubuXubu> good morning xubuntu
[19:28] <likemindead> A second speaker/audio icon has appeared in my panel. All on its own. I haven't installed or changed anything. How can I make it go away?
[19:30] <moetunes> likemindead:  if you right click it you should have the option to remove it
[19:30] <likemindead> This new one does not.
[19:30] <Sysi> it's on notification area?
[19:30] <likemindead> When you right click on it, you get "Mute" or "Sound Preferences" & that is all.
[19:30] <likemindead> I think so, Sysi.
[19:31] <likemindead> But I've been running 10.10 for weeks and it just appeared today for no reason. Has a GNOME look to it.
[19:34] <likemindead> http://imagebin.org/124540 <--image of what I'm talking about.
[19:35] <likemindead> Well, I see that I can hide it on the tray notification properties. Still don't know why it just appeared suddenly. :-\
[19:36] <moetunes> maybe an update...
[19:38] <likemindead> That is my suspicion as well.
[20:02] <bassmax> hello all
[20:04] <bassmax> i've a problem on Xubuntu using scribus
[20:05] <likemindead> !hi | bassmax
[20:05] <likemindead> Explain your problem, bassmax?
[20:07] <bassmax> Scribus doesn't catch any letter of my keyboard except space and enter
[20:08] <likemindead> You might try asking over at #scribus ( http://www.scribus.net/irc ).
[20:08] <bassmax> i've tryied to import a lipsum text, it works, but the text is highlignt in red
[20:09] <likemindead> I haven't actually used Scribus. Anyone else?
[20:10] <bassmax> ok thanks i'll try on scribus channel
[20:10] <bassmax> i hope it's not a problem with Xubuntu
[20:11] <TheSheep> scribus doesn't work like a text processor
[20:11] <TheSheep> you need to add a text box to enter text in it
[20:11] <bassmax> yep, i did it
[20:12] <bassmax> i create a text box and try to write text in ...
[20:15] <TheSheep> I think you select 'edit text' and put the text in a saparate window
[20:16] <bassmax> yes, you can do that by the two way you mention
[20:18] <TheSheep> I have really given up on scribus once I realized that I can control kerning in Inkscape
[20:19] <TheSheep> but then again I mostly do single-page or two-page thingies
[20:30] <bassmax> TheSheep : Thanx for help, i'm on scribus channel now, i try to resolve it.
[20:55] <Hc96> hi! Which package do I have to install to get starttls? Im using xubuntu 10.10
[20:56] <likemindead> You check Synaptic?
[20:57] <Hc96> yes, there is no package named starttls
[20:57] <Hc96> I think about sendmail but I'm not sure
[20:57] <likemindead> What is it, then?
[20:57] <Hc96> What's what?
[20:58] <likemindead> Looks like starttls may be outdated. There seem to be several alternatives in the repos.
[20:59] <Hc96> So what would you suggest? should I try sendmail or wont it be inside?

[21:49] <TheSheep> !ics | vandyk
[21:49] <vandyk> I already try but something doesnt work
[21:57] <TheSheep> what exactly? do you get any error message?
[22:01] <vandyk> no, i dont have error message, in the problem is the clients dont have internet
[22:03] <vandyk> I like to Use this PC as a server, this PC are conected to internet via WLAN, i conect the network card of this PC to a router(configure as a switch) the clients are conected via cable to the switch, but doesnt have internet
[22:15] <vandyk> !ics
[22:22] <TheSheep> vandyk: did you configure their ip addresses manually, or did you configure dhcp server on your pc?
[22:28] <vandyk> I configure manually, in this PC and the clients PC
[22:29] <vandyk> if i use in terminal ifconfig show me this settings
[22:29] <vandyk> Direc. inet:10.42.43.1  Difus.:10.42.43.255  Másc:255.255.255.0
[22:30] <vandyk> in the client PC (run in windows) i put 10.42.43.3 as ip 255.255.255.0 as netmask and 10.42.43.41 as a default gateway
[22:31] <vandyk> sorry 10.42.43.1 as default gateway
[22:31] <TheSheep> you did configure firewall and kernel to do forwarding?
[22:31] <TheSheep> can you ping the clients from the server?
[22:32] <vandyk> i dont know how to ping in linux
[22:32] <vandyk> but in windows i can ping to this PC
[22:32] <TheSheep> ping 10.42.43.3
[22:34] <vandyk> yes i think the ping works
[22:34] <vandyk> 64 bytes from 10.42.43.3: icmp_seq=37 ttl=128 time=0.161 ms
[22:34] <TheSheep> but if it works one way, it should work the other
[22:34] <TheSheep> ok, what does 'ip r' say?
[22:34] <vandyk> sorry?
[22:35] <vandyk> right now continue making ping
[22:35] <vandyk> this thing dont stop
[22:35] <TheSheep> ah, press ctrl+c
[22:36] <vandyk> 168 packets transmitted, 168 received, 0% packet loss, time 166998ms
[22:36] <vandyk> rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.154/0.167/0.218/0.011 ms
[22:36] <TheSheep> yeah, yeah
[22:36] <TheSheep> type: ip r
[22:36] <moetunes> I was suprised to find that in windows and linux ping works the same - ping -c 3 www.google.com does the same thing
[22:36] <vandyk> 189.145.138.96/28 dev wlan0  proto kernel  scope link  src 189.145.138.103  metric 2
[22:36] <vandyk> 10.42.43.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.42.43.1  metric 1
[22:36] <vandyk> 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0  scope link  metric 1000
[22:36] <vandyk> default via 189.145.138.102 dev wlan0  proto static
[22:36] <TheSheep> moetunes: they took ping from unices
[22:36] <moetunes> yep
[22:37] <TheSheep> moetunes: actually, both linux and windows has the tcp/ip stack from bsd
[22:37] <moetunes> ohh didn't know that :)
[22:40] <TheSheep> vandyk: looks good
[22:40] <TheSheep> vandyk: I wonder why you have two ip addresses on eth0
[22:41] <vandyk> TheSheep: really? i cant using internet in the clients
[22:41] <TheSheep> vandyk: the last things, kernel and firewall
[22:41] <TheSheep> vandyk: that should be described on that csi link
[22:41] <TheSheep> ics, sorry
[22:42] <vandyk> TheSheep: I already have firestarter
[22:42] <vandyk> TheSheep: and i already use the setup utility of filestarter
[22:43] <TheSheep> did you setup forwarding like here?
[22:43] <TheSheep> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing?action=show&redirect=InternetConnectionSharing#Gateway set up
[22:43] <TheSheep> also, see the 'enable routing' section in there
[22:44] <TheSheep> it's important
[22:44] <vandyk> TheSheep: Let me see
[22:47] <vandyk> TheSheep: In this case i need to replace eth0 to wlan0?
[22:47] <vandyk> TheSheep: Beacause i only have one Eth card in each PC
[22:48] <TheSheep> I meant this
[22:48] <TheSheep> sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
[22:50] <vandyk> TheShip: Ok i do it now
[22:51] <vandyk> TheShip: i need to the lines at sysctl.conf at the end of the document right?
[22:52] <TheSheep> vandyk: that's so that you don't have to repeat it after every reboot
[22:53] <vandyk> TheShip: ok i do it
[22:54] <vandyk> TheShip: I also do the steps to configure the NAT?
[22:55] <vandyk> TheShip: Im really sorry, im a newbie, before when this pc run in windows i dont do this things
[22:55] <TheSheep> vandyk: if you did the nat in firestarter already, it should work
[22:56] <vandyk> TheShip: I dont do anything in firestarter, i only run the setup wizard
[22:57] <TheSheep> ah, then you need to set up that nat
[22:58] <vandyk> TheShip: i need to do Setup nat in firestarter or like in the ICS document
[22:59] <TheSheep> try the ics
[22:59] <vandyk> TheSheep: in this line sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT
[23:00] <vandyk> TheSheep: i need to change eth0 to wlan0 and eth1 to eth0?
[23:00] <TheSheep> yes, probably
[23:00] <vandyk> TheSheep: or i put straight the lines?
[23:00] <TheSheep> and ip ranges
[23:00] <TheSheep> no, you have to change them
[23:00] <TheSheep> to your situation
[23:01] <vandyk> TheSheep: about the ip i need to put the server ip? in this case 10.42.43.1?
[23:03] <TheSheep> 10.42.43.0/24
[23:03] <vandyk> TheSheep: i dont know what means the command -s 192.168.0.0/24
[23:04] <TheSheep> it's the network ip and mask
[23:04] <TheSheep>  /24 means the same as 255.255.255.0
[23:04] <vandyk> ahh ok
[23:04] <TheSheep> 8+8+8 = 24
[23:04] <vandyk> TheSheep: Ok Thanks!
[23:09] <vandyk_> TheSheep: Sorry
[23:09] <TheSheep> doesn't work?
[23:10] <vandyk_> TheSheep: I have a energy cut =(
[23:10] <vandyk_> TheSheep: Do i need to repeat all the steps?
[23:11] <TheSheep> I guess so
[23:12] <TheSheep> I need to go to sleep, sorry, good luck
[23:12] <vandyk_> thanks!
[23:12] <vandyk_> TheSheep: Ok Thank!
