[03:11] <gr8m8> Hi freebird :)
[03:13] <freebird> gr8m8,  do you know anything about ssh
[03:14] <gr8m8> freebird: I use it here but just basically
[03:16] <freebird> it keeps asking me for a password i type in my password it says its wrong
[03:18] <freebird> i'm guessing that its looking for a root password but seeing there is no root just fake root it denyes it
[03:19] <freebird> any ideals how to get past this?
[03:19] <gr8m8> I do   ssh username@"ipadress"
[03:19] <gr8m8> works here
[03:19] <gr8m8> (TM)
[03:20] <gr8m8> how are you trying to connect?
[03:21] <gr8m8> it should be the password of the user you are trying to connect as
[03:22] <freebird> same as you ssh username@ 127.0.0.1
[03:22] <freebird> now i'm getting connection refused
[03:23] <freebird> ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 22: Connection refused
[03:23] <gr8m8> you need to add an option to connect to localhost, read the man page for it
[03:24] <freebird> -LN but i don't understand how to put the option in
[03:25] <gr8m8> ssh -LN user@address
[03:25] <freebird> most of the toutorals assume we all understand cmd line lol
[03:25] <gr8m8> why are you using localhost?
[03:26] <gr8m8> reading man pages takes some practise
[03:26] <freebird> i auctually want to connect to my ip but didn't want to give that info out here
[03:28] <freebird> ssh -LN hummer@76.0.115.169
[03:28] <freebird> lol c*ap
[03:28] <gr8m8> it's in the logs now...
[03:28] <freebird> i did anyway on accident
[03:29] <gr8m8> make sure you're password is good
[03:29] <freebird> for my account it is
[03:30] <gr8m8> I have the router set up here so ssh is only accessible from the lan not the wan
[03:31] <freebird> mine to ours is defualt like that
[03:32] <freebird> have to open it if we decide to run a server
[03:33] <freebird> which i have no need to do
[03:33] <gr8m8> from what I've read there seems to be bots that scour the web trying to hackk into ssh servers
[03:33] <freebird> makes sense why they would
[03:34] <freebird> can mask more proxy tunneling
[03:36] <freebird> the black hats i would imagine runs the bots
[03:36] <gr8m8> mostly mail spammers I think
[03:36] <freebird> brb
[04:11] <freebird> gr8m8,  sorry needed to fix a issue
[04:12] <gr8m8> that's fine I'm watching a movie here
[04:14] <freebird> cool which movie
[04:14] <gr8m8> a vin deisel movie A man apart
[04:15] <freebird> i haven't seen that one yet let me know if its good lol
[04:15] <_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 far
[04:17] <freebird> _Techie_,  go into to tv menu and try to calibraTe it in  if not you may need to drop resilution
[04:17] <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?
[04:18] <_Techie_> freebird, i already stated that my TV's calibration doesnt go that far
[04:19] <_Techie_> gr8m8, can you give me something to grep my log for please
[04:19] <freebird> _Techie_,  my bad
[04:20] <gr8m8> _Techie_: grep -i eeid /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:21] <_Techie_> nothing
[04:21] <_Techie_> apparantly it has managed to get the EDID
[04:22] <_Techie_> because wheni grep for WW
[04:22] <_Techie_> (WW) Dec 18 17:01:22 NVIDIA(0):     Mode is rejected: PixelClock (162.0 MHz) too high for EDID
[04:22] <_Techie_> (WW) Dec 18 17:01:22 NVIDIA(0):     (EDID Max: 150.0 MHz).
[04:22] <_Techie_> oh darn, why am i using xterm on a max
[04:22] <_Techie_> mac*
[04:22] <_Techie_> oh,it did wor
[04:22] <_Techie_> work****

[13:58] <MorphixNW> I have a machine that has no CDROM and is unable to boot from USB, can I use another machine to install xubuntu and then simply remove the hard drive and install it into the other machine without any  problems?
[13:58] <Sysi> should work
[13:59] <MorphixNW> Sysi: hope so as I am struggling otherwise
[14:12] <andsss> seem quiet here, im new to irc so bear with me, just checking in
[14:13] <MorphixNW> is there any chance that Xubuntu will recognise an RS232 (Serial) Touchscreen?
[14:13] <TheSheep> !hi | andsss
[14:13] <ubottu> andsss: 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] <TheSheep> MorphixNW: it won't autodetect it, if that's what you mean
[14:13] <TheSheep> MorphixNW: you have to configure X to see it
[14:14] <TheSheep> (it's not really possible to detect devices through the com port)
[14:14] <andsss> !TheSheep | hi : )
[14:19] <MorphixNW> TheSheep: are there any guides out there to help with that?
[14:19] <TheSheep> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[14:20] <MorphixNW> thank you
[15:01] <Arpad2> hello
[15:02] <Arpad2> how to install open source driver for nvidia card?
[15:02] <Sysi> it is there by default
[15:03] <Sysi> alternatively remove the restricted one
[15:04] <Arpad2> ok
[15:04] <Arpad2> how to do it?
[15:04] <Sysi> system → harware drivers, if name hasn't changed
[15:05] <Arpad2> Here I have system-additional drivers
[15:06] <Arpad2> 2 are listed, and both are propriety
[15:06] <Arpad2> proprietary
[15:07] <Sysi> set them to not used
[15:07] <Arpad2> so I should remove those?
[15:07] <Arpad2> ok
[15:07] <Arpad2> well, thers not aqvailbale that one, only activate or remove
[15:08] <Sysi> if none of them is used, you have the open one
[15:08] <Sysi> lspci -k tells what kernel modules are used
[15:08] <Arpad2> one is udes, the athor isnt
[15:10] <Arpad2> 	Kernel modules: nvidia-current, nouveau, nvidiafb
[15:10] <Arpad2> so nouveau will remain
[15:11] <Arpad2> should nouveau be updated?
[15:54] <Arpad2> Sysi: 3D work now
[15:54] <Arpad2> s
[15:55] <Arpad2> with nouveau and not the priprietary one
[15:55] <Arpad2> :)
[15:59] <Sysi> interesting
[16:00] <Arpad2> I had to follow only the offitial nouveau guide :)
[16:02] <Arpad2> in practice it means in my case in xorg.conf I had to change under "Device" "driver" section "nv" to "nouveau" :)
[16:04] <Arpad2> the solution was here: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/UbuntuPackages
[16:32] <MorphixNW> is there a way that  I can list serial ports/serial devices? kinda like "lsusb"?
[17:48] <MorphixNW> I am having the exact problem that is described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1615837
[17:48] <MorphixNW> can anyone answer, as no one has replied to that thread :(
[17:49] <Sysi> generally, don't compile as root
[17:50] <Sysi> do you have kernel-headers installed?
[17:50] <MorphixNW> yes

[18:22] <deddly> I'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?
[18:25] <ridin> try using tab completion
[18:28] <deddly> ridin: Was that directed at me? If so...what do you mean?
[18:28] <ridin> when you're typing out the command, press tab and you're autocorrected (or given multiple choices)
[18:30] <deddly> ridin: 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,
[18:31] <deddly> ridin: But typing just alsa-utils brings up the usage options.
[18:31] <ridin> so typing in /etc/init.d/ <tab> doesn't give you what you need?
[18:31] <deddly> Ah I think I got it. I cd to the directory and typed the command without the pathname
[18:32] <deddly> "* Shutting down ALSA..."
[18:32] <deddly> Seemed to do the trick
[18:32] <deddly> Don't get why, though
[18:32] <ridin> o.o!
[18:49] <deddly> I 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?
[18:57] <deddly> Where can I find this file? I'm reading a guide and it says: "Make sure an ~/.asoundrc file exists."
[19:57] <deddly> Can anyone help me get OSS working?
[20:14] <deddly> So many people here, nobody helping
[20:15] <Sysi> alsa or pulseaudio usuallu works
[20:18] <mark76> ~ is your home directory, deddy. And a dotted file name means it's hidden
[20:18] <mark76> deddly, I mean
[20:20] <deddly> Thanks 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 list
[20:22] <Sysi> when i removed pulseaudio i had to reboot
[20:23] <deddly> Sysi: I've rebooted
[20:24] <deddly> But 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 problem
[20:29] <mark76> I know nothing about OSS
[20:33] <saintly> anyone home?
[20:33] <saintly> i need parole media player support
[20:34] <Sysi> so far best fix is to use other player
[20:34] <Sysi> what exactly doesn't work?
[20:37] <saintly> lol anything, i cant play any movie files
[20:38] <saintly> what player should i use instead?
[20:39] <Sysi> gnome-mplayer working well for me
[20:39] <Sysi> also
[20:39] <Sysi> !restricted

[20:40] <saintly> what about totem or VLC? do they work in Xfce?
[20:40] <Sysi> of course
[20:41] <saintly> hmm i might go with VLC then :D
[20:41] <saintly> do you think itll play DVD out of thebox ?
[20:42] <bazhang> !dvd

[21:32] <Mark76> Am I on?
[21:35] <Mark76> Is this even working?
[21:36] <Sysi> pong
[21:36] <Mark76> Oh good
[21:36] <Mark76> I had to switch to Pidgin
[21:52] <share> hi
[21:53] <share> how do you disable screensaver in xubuntu?
[21:57] <Sysi> menu → settings → screensaver
[21:58] <share> lol im blind
[21:58] <share> tks Sysi
[21:59] <Sysi> np
[22:35] <share> hi
[22:36] <share> my xubuntu hangs while shutting down
[22:49] <nicklas_> hello, anyone uses playonlinux here?
[22:55] <share> n
[23:13] <nicklas_> is there never any people in #xubuntu-se? if there are any swedish users here?
[23:14] <share> no
[23:39] <share> ei
[23:39] <share> i cant shutdown
[23:41] <gr8m8> share: where does it hang?
[23:41] <share> gr8m8: when shutting down
[23:41] <share> it keeps showing the logo
[23:42] <gr8m8> share: and if you pres the power button does it stop straight away?
[23:42] <gr8m8> s/pres/press/
[23:43] <share> gr8m8: i need to press it for a while and then shutdown
[23:43] <share> *shuts down
[23:43] <share> the computer is old
[23:44] <share> but it should shutdown right.
[23:44] <gr8m8> it should
[23:44] <share> "the HD does shut off (stops spinning at least), but the power source stays on"
[23:44] <share> like that
[23:45] <gr8m8> I had that issue on this old lappy and reseating the memory fixed it and some boot up issues too
[23:45] <share> how do u reset a memory
[23:46] <gr8m8> you pull the memory stick out and put it back in a couple of times
[23:46] <gr8m8> open the computer up to do it of course :)
[23:46] <share> i've done it before
[23:47] <gr8m8> k
[23:47] <gr8m8> I'm not saying that will solve your issue it is just something that worked here
[23:47] <gr8m8> and maybe worth a try
[23:47] <share> gr8m8: i've tried /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[23:47] <share> to add acpi=force
[23:48] <share> sudo update grub
[23:48] <share> sudo update-grub
[23:48] <share> etc
[23:48] <share> but i've shut it down before but i need to kill something
[23:48] <share> X server
[23:48] <share> or something i cant remember
[23:49] <gr8m8> I wouldn't know about that
[23:49] <share> sudo nano /etc/modules
[23:49] <share>  apm power_off=1
[23:49] <share> no file > sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:55] <gr8m8> menu.lst is for grub 1 - you have grub 2
[23:55] <gr8m8> so you edit /etc/default/grub and add to the kernel line there and run sudo update-grub
