gr8m8Hi freebird :)03:11
freebirdgr8m8,  do you know anything about ssh03:13
gr8m8freebird: I use it here but just basically03:14
freebirdit keeps asking me for a password i type in my password it says its wrong03:16
freebirdi'm guessing that its looking for a root password but seeing there is no root just fake root it denyes it03:18
freebirdany ideals how to get past this?03:19
gr8m8I do   ssh username@"ipadress"03:19
gr8m8works here03:19
gr8m8(TM)03:19
gr8m8how are you trying to connect?03:20
gr8m8it should be the password of the user you are trying to connect as03:21
freebirdsame as you ssh username@ 127.0.0.103:22
freebirdnow i'm getting connection refused03:22
freebirdssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 22: Connection refused03:23
gr8m8you need to add an option to connect to localhost, read the man page for it03:23
freebird-LN but i don't understand how to put the option in03:24
gr8m8ssh -LN user@address03:25
freebirdmost of the toutorals assume we all understand cmd line lol03:25
gr8m8why are you using localhost?03:25
gr8m8reading man pages takes some practise03:26
freebirdi auctually want to connect to my ip but didn't want to give that info out here03:26
freebirdssh -LN hummer@76.0.115.16903:28
freebirdlol c*ap03:28
gr8m8it's in the logs now...03:28
freebirdi did anyway on accident03:28
gr8m8make sure you're password is good03:29
freebirdfor my account it is03:29
gr8m8I have the router set up here so ssh is only accessible from the lan not the wan03:30
freebirdmine to ours is defualt like that03:31
freebirdhave to open it if we decide to run a server03:32
freebirdwhich i have no need to do03:33
gr8m8from what I've read there seems to be bots that scour the web trying to hackk into ssh servers03:33
freebirdmakes sense why they would03:33
freebirdcan mask more proxy tunneling03:34
freebirdthe black hats i would imagine runs the bots03:36
gr8m8mostly mail spammers I think03:36
freebirdbrb03:36
freebirdgr8m8,  sorry needed to fix a issue04:11
gr8m8that's fine I'm watching a movie here04:12
freebirdcool which movie04:14
gr8m8a vin deisel movie A man apart04:14
freebirdi haven't seen that one yet let me know if its good lol04:15
_Techie_when using 1920x1080 via HDMI throug my surroud sound unit then to my TV, my desktop spans further than the visible area on my TV, is there any way to calibrate this in the OS as y TV's calibration doesnt go that far04:15
freebird_Techie_,  go into to tv menu and try to calibraTe it in  if not you may need to drop resilution04:17
gr8m8_Techie_: sounds like running it through sound unit might be stopping x from getting the resolution from the monitor - does the x log mention not getting eeid right?04:17
_Techie_freebird, i already stated that my TV's calibration doesnt go that far04:18
_Techie_gr8m8, can you give me something to grep my log for please04:19
freebird_Techie_,  my bad04:19
gr8m8_Techie_: grep -i eeid /var/log/Xorg.0.log04:20
_Techie_nothing04:21
_Techie_apparantly it has managed to get the EDID04:21
_Techie_because wheni grep for WW04:22

MorphixNWSysi: hope so as I am struggling otherwise13:59

MorphixNWis there any chance that Xubuntu will recognise an RS232 (Serial) Touchscreen?14:13
TheSheep!hi | andsss14:13
ubottuandsss: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay!14:13
TheSheepMorphixNW: it won't autodetect it, if that's what you mean14:13
TheSheepMorphixNW: you have to configure X to see it14:13
TheSheep(it's not really possible to detect devices through the com port)14:14

deddlyI've started installing Open Sound System according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound but I have aproblem early on in the guide. It says I should type "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop" but it returns the error: sudo: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils: command not found. Can anyone help me please?18:22
ridintry using tab completion18:25
deddlyridin: Was that directed at me? If so...what do you mean?18:28
ridinwhen you're typing out the command, press tab and you're autocorrected (or given multiple choices)18:28
deddlyridin: OK I see what you mean. But this is definitely how I wrote it. I checked in /etc/init.d/ and I don't see alsa-utils,18:30
deddlyridin: But typing just alsa-utils brings up the usage options.18:31
ridinso typing in /etc/init.d/ <tab> doesn't give you what you need?18:31
deddlyAh I think I got it. I cd to the directory and typed the command without the pathname18:31
deddly"* Shutting down ALSA..."18:32
deddlySeemed to do the trick18:32
deddlyDon't get why, though18:32
ridino.o!18:32
deddlyI see that the libasounds2-plugins package is already installed in xubuntu, but the next step in http://paste.ubuntu.com/545349/ I am having trouble with. Where should I find the .asoundrc file?18:49
deddlyWhere can I find this file? I'm reading a guide and it says: "Make sure an ~/.asoundrc file exists."18:57
deddlyCan anyone help me get OSS working?19:57
deddlySo many people here, nobody helping20:14
Sysialsa or pulseaudio usuallu works20:15
mark76~ is your home directory, deddy. And a dotted file name means it's hidden20:18
mark76deddly, I mean20:18
deddlyThanks mark76 and Sysi. My current problem is that I followed instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound to replace ALSA with OSS, but now I  get no sound at all, the player just skips to the next mp3 in the play list20:20
Sysiwhen i removed pulseaudio i had to reboot20:22
deddlySysi: I've rebooted20:23
deddlyBut nothing it working. Now I'm thinking how do I get ALSA back and then I'm back to square one on my audio clicking problem20:24
mark76I know nothing about OSS20:29
saintlyanyone home?20:33
saintlyi need parole media player support20:33
Sysiso far best fix is to use other player20:34
Sysiwhat exactly doesn't work?20:34

ubottuFor multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats20:39
saintlywhat about totem or VLC? do they work in Xfce?20:40
Sysiof course20:40
saintlyhmm i might go with VLC then :D20:41
saintlydo you think itll play DVD out of thebox ?20:41
bazhang!dvd20:42

sharemy xubuntu hangs while shutting down22:36
nicklas_hello, anyone uses playonlinux here?22:49
sharen22:55
nicklas_is there never any people in #xubuntu-se? if there are any swedish users here?23:13
shareno23:14
shareei23:39
sharei cant shutdown23:39
gr8m8share: where does it hang?23:41
sharegr8m8: when shutting down23:41
shareit keeps showing the logo23:41
gr8m8share: and if you pres the power button does it stop straight away?23:42
gr8m8s/pres/press/23:42
sharegr8m8: i need to press it for a while and then shutdown23:43
share*shuts down23:43
sharethe computer is old23:43
sharebut it should shutdown right.23:44
gr8m8it should23:44
share"the HD does shut off (stops spinning at least), but the power source stays on"23:44
sharelike that23:44
gr8m8I had that issue on this old lappy and reseating the memory fixed it and some boot up issues too23:45
sharehow do u reset a memory23:45
gr8m8you pull the memory stick out and put it back in a couple of times23:46
gr8m8open the computer up to do it of course :)23:46
sharei've done it before23:46
gr8m8k23:47
gr8m8I'm not saying that will solve your issue it is just something that worked here23:47
gr8m8and maybe worth a try23:47
sharegr8m8: i've tried /boot/grub/grub.cfg23:47
shareto add acpi=force23:47
sharesudo update grub23:48
sharesudo update-grub23:48
shareetc23:48
sharebut i've shut it down before but i need to kill something23:48
shareX server23:48
shareor something i cant remember23:48
gr8m8I wouldn't know about that23:49
sharesudo nano /etc/modules23:49
share apm power_off=123:49
shareno file > sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst23:49
gr8m8menu.lst is for grub 1 - you have grub 223:55
gr8m8so you edit /etc/default/grub and add to the kernel line there and run sudo update-grub23:55
