| Dr0pB3ar | g'day. quick question for anyone that can help me out. I am trying to use swscanner and whenever I try and start a scan it pops up with "failed to read scan data" . I have tried a few different adapters and no luck | 10:15 |
| bioterror | xsane? | 10:17 |
| Dr0pB3ar | what's that? | 10:19 |
| bioterror | apt-cache show xsane | 10:20 |
| Dr0pB3ar | swscanner is a wifi scanner not an image scanner | 10:21 |
| Dr0pB3ar | I was a bit confused for a sec there | 10:22 |

| beachbuddah | hi all - is there any way to switch from10.10 UNR to the desktop version? This on a netbook without a CD-ROM | 10:38 |
| aztek | how to play video in backtrack? | 14:01 |
| duanedesign | hello aztek | 14:06 |
| aztek | hello duadesign | 14:07 |
| aztek | *duanedesign | 14:07 |
| duanedesign | aztek: have you installed backtrack or are you running it on a LiveCD? | 14:08 |
| aztek | i have install it in my laptop | 14:09 |
| aztek | but no sound and i can't play video on it | 14:11 |
| duanedesign | aztek: which version is it? | 14:12 |
| aztek | 4 r 1 | 14:12 |
| duanedesign | aztek: I wouls install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 14:16 |
| duanedesign | would* | 14:16 |
| aztek | wher i can download it? | 14:17 |
| duanedesign | aztek: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 14:18 |
| duanedesign | that command in a terminal should do it. | 14:19 |
| duanedesign | aztek: for video you can install mplayer and the GUI for it SMplayer. | 14:20 |
| duanedesign | sudo apt-get install mplayer smplayer | 14:20 |
| aztek | am at home now | 14:21 |
| aztek | so, i just can use modem | 14:21 |
| aztek | i can't use modem in backtrack | 14:22 |
| aztek | i am using ubuntu now | 14:22 |
| aztek | i will try it tomorro | 14:23 |
| duanedesign | looks like their are some meta packages that backtrack has | 14:23 |
| aztek | *tomorrow | 14:23 |
| aztek | for setting modem? | 14:24 |
| duanedesign | backtrackworld and backtrackdesktop. | 14:24 |
| duanedesign | backtrackworld contains all the BackTrack meta packages, while backtrack | 14:24 |
| duanedesign | desktop contains backtrackworld, backtracknetworking and backtrack | 14:24 |
| duanedesign | multimedia. The latter two meta packages are select applications imported from | 14:24 |
| duanedesign | Ubuntu repositories. | 14:24 |
| duanedesign | I imaging those have hyphens and not spaces | 14:25 |
| duanedesign | so backtracknetworking would probably be backtrack-networking | 14:26 |
| duanedesign | those are meta packages so they likely will download a lot of packages. Something to think about if you are on a modem | 14:27 |
| aztek | my friend suggested to install sakis, but i don't know how to installl it | 14:29 |
| aztek | i wanna off | 14:55 |
| aztek | thank you duanedesign for your help | 14:55 |
| aztek | see u soon | 14:56 |
| rokyronnie | Hello there | 15:30 |
| Abhijit | hi | 15:30 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hai | 15:31 |
| rokyronnie | I've a question, is there a way to control my CPU FAN speed in Ubuntu? ( in windows I used to use speed fan to reduce the speed down to 50% ) | 15:31 |
| Abhijit | !fan | 15:33 |
| Abhijit | ?? | 15:33 |
| Abhijit | !ping | 15:33 |
| Abhijit | bot is dead | 15:34 |
| rokyronnie | my fan speed, cooler, isn't FAN the correct word for that? | 15:34 |
| charlie-tca | rokyronnie: yes, that is the correct word. | 15:35 |
| Abhijit | rokyronnie, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=846480 | 15:36 |
| rokyronnie | so.. there's nothing with graphical interface? | 15:36 |
| Abhijit | nope | 15:37 |
| Abhijit | atleast I dont know | 15:37 |
| rokyronnie | I tried now with Thinkfan but I can't figure out with it, can someone help me? | 15:58 |
| Abhijit | what is thinkfan? | 15:58 |
| holstein | rokyronnie: is it too loud? | 15:58 |
| rokyronnie | very very loud | 15:59 |
| holstein | did you look at the hardware? | 15:59 |
| rokyronnie | yes.... but I can't do anything to it | 15:59 |
| holstein | is there a bunch of crap in the heat sink? | 15:59 |
| holstein | you can get some compressed air | 16:00 |
| holstein | and blow the junk out | 16:00 |
| rokyronnie | I clean it for many times | 16:00 |
| holstein | i mean, the fan is keeping the CPU cool | 16:00 |
| holstein | as an audio recording guy | 16:00 |
| holstein | i have found computers too loud in the past | 16:01 |
| holstein | i used to keep the tower over in a closet | 16:01 |
| holstein | and get really long cables | 16:01 |
| rokyronnie | it's not a new model, it's a Sempron 3200+ | 16:01 |
| holstein | that worked well | 16:01 |
| rokyronnie | :)) | 16:01 |
| holstein | rokyronnie: a new fan is cheap | 16:01 |
| holstein | fans are a couple bucks | 16:02 |
| rokyronnie | depends of what country are you spoken about | 16:02 |
| holstein | nah | 16:03 |
| holstein | theres used shops everywhere | 16:03 |
| holstein | charity shops | 16:03 |
| holstein | and amazon.com :) | 16:03 |
| rokyronnie | if I want a better one, here it's like 30-40e which means a lot | 16:03 |
| holstein | well, im sure you can sort it out | 16:04 |
| holstein | i would suggest not telling the fan to run slower | 16:04 |
| holstein | its running fast for a reason | 16:04 |
| holstein | either the fan is going bad | 16:04 |
| holstein | and not cooling well | 16:04 |
| rokyronnie | in windows is running down to 50% from a long time | 16:04 |
| rokyronnie | and there were no problems | 16:04 |
| holstein | rokyronnie: xp? | 16:04 |
| holstein | xp is 10 years old | 16:04 |
| holstein | ubuntu is quite a bit more modern than xp | 16:05 |
| rokyronnie | yeah, which when I came back home from faculty, it was broken, why? "only god knows" | 16:05 |
| holstein | and linux is typically not as capable of controlling those devices | 16:05 |
| rokyronnie | could not find windws:\... \system43\config | 16:05 |
| rokyronnie | I can't suffer it anymore | 16:05 |
| holstein | rokyronnie: it? | 16:05 |
| holstein | you mean your windows install was broken? | 16:06 |
| rokyronnie | sorry if my english is not so good and if I do mistakes, but I am pretty tired | 16:06 |
| rokyronnie | oh no | 16:06 |
| holstein | rokyronnie: i have an HP mininote | 16:06 |
| rokyronnie | just... I turned my PC on, and that message appeared when I tried to boot to windows | 16:06 |
| holstein | lots of VIA hardware | 16:06 |
| holstein | same deal | 16:07 |
| holstein | when under xp | 16:07 |
| holstein | fairly quiet | 16:07 |
| holstein | but the graphics driver in linux seems to make it run hotter | 16:07 |
| holstein | and its small anyways | 16:07 |
| holstein | prone to running hot | 16:07 |
| aveilleux | Linux doesn't handle fan speed as well as Windows | 16:07 |
| rokyronnie | my fan speed is always on 100% | 16:08 |
| aveilleux | The speed control modules are pretty buggy, and they fallback to running at full blast regardless of the heaat | 16:08 |
| rokyronnie | it doesn't have that future | 16:08 |
| holstein | rokyronnie: maybe you can google the hardware you have | 16:09 |
| holstein | and find better support | 16:09 |
| holstein | maybe a kernel that does a better job | 16:09 |
| holstein | i have had luck cleaning the machine though | 16:10 |
| holstein | and getting a quieter system | 16:10 |
| holstein | in win/lin | 16:10 |
| javatexan | how do I remove all my saved passwords from seahorse without making my machine useless? I only want to clear out all network resources, printing passwords, websites and such....not any system level stuff....does it keep systemlevel stuff? | 18:33 |

| Aman1st | Hi Guys, can anyone help me in setting up VPN on Ubuntu 10.10? | 20:00 |
| Omsniffiscent | Is there a way to put a clock on my screen after my screen locks out? | 20:04 |
| Aman1st | I did setup the VPN using the connection manager in Ubuntu. But, when I try and connect it says "Connection failed" any advise? | 20:04 |
| Omsniffiscent | I'd have no idea, sorry. | 20:04 |
| Aman1st | The say VPN works just fine on windows and MAC! | 20:05 |
| Aman1st | say = same | 20:06 |
| Aman1st | Omsniffiscent, thanks ;) | 20:06 |
| Omsniffiscent | Honestly I don't even know what a VPN is :) | 20:07 |
| Omsniffiscent | Internetz? | 20:07 |
| Omsniffiscent | Oh I remember Virtualized Private Network? | 20:08 |
| Omsniffiscent | http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/15715/ | 20:11 |
| Omsniffiscent | I guess there's no way. :( | 20:11 |
| Omsniffiscent | Though, that was in 2008 | 20:12 |
| holstein | Aman1st: via ssh? | 20:13 |
| Omsniffiscent | But all of the other hits are how to change the timer for the lockout screen. | 20:13 |
| Aman1st | it's just a standard PPTP setup | 20:13 |
| holstein | you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient ? | 20:13 |
| Aman1st | Yes I did read that. | 20:14 |
| Aman1st | Didn't help :( | 20:14 |
| holstein | yeah? | 20:14 |
| holstein | what were the error messages? | 20:14 |
| Aman1st | Just says connection failed. No error message! | 20:15 |
| holstein | what says? | 20:15 |
| holstein | did you try the pptp-linux package? | 20:16 |
| Aman1st | holstein, stand by... I'm going to set it up again and give you the exact message. | 20:16 |
| holstein | Omsniffiscent: i would look at screensavers | 20:16 |
| holstein | with time | 20:16 |
| Aman1st | will try that too | 20:16 |
| holstein | Aman1st: im about to run out | 20:16 |
| Aman1st | k | 20:16 |
| holstein | but that will be helpful for someone | 20:16 |
| holstein | IF you can run an app from the terminal too | 20:17 |
| Aman1st | thanks mate | 20:17 |
| holstein | that will give you more output usually | 20:17 |
| holstein | helpful trouble-shooting output | 20:17 |
| holstein | *hopefully :) | 20:17 |
| Aman1st | ;) | 20:17 |
| Omsniffiscent | But my monitor turns completely off when my screensaver comes on. I guess that's my only option, though. | 20:17 |
| holstein | Omsniffiscent: check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1028362 | 20:18 |
| holstein | its a little old | 20:18 |
| Omsniffiscent | If I move my mouse to turn my monitor back on it will stop the screensaver lol | 20:18 |
| holstein | but, i think thats the angle you should take | 20:18 |
| holstein | Omsniffiscent: there are settings | 20:18 |
| holstein | sometimes they are fiddly | 20:18 |
| holstein | but, you should be able to have the screensaver without the screen blanking | 20:18 |
| holstein | Omsniffiscent: are you using gnome? | 20:18 |
| Omsniffiscent | Yes. | 20:19 |
| holstein | cool | 20:19 |
| Omsniffiscent | I <3 gnome | 20:19 |
| holstein | i find since that the default | 20:19 |
| holstein | or was* | 20:19 |
| Omsniffiscent | heh | 20:19 |
| holstein | thats usually the best case for things to work | 20:19 |
| holstein | good luck folks | 20:19 |
| Omsniffiscent | I tried KDE and it was just completely foreign. Pretty. But it didn't stay up very long. | 20:19 |
| * holstein gotta run | 20:19 | |
| Omsniffiscent | I'm off too. Later | 20:19 |

| Juest | ok, how do i change root password? | 23:11 |
| holstein | Juest: we dont really have root | 23:12 |
| holstein | unless you have changed the default setup | 23:12 |
| holstein | you use sudo | 23:13 |
| holstein | and use your user pass | 23:13 |
| holstein | in a terminal | 23:13 |
| holstein | you can run sudo -s | 23:13 |
| holstein | and have a root shell | 23:13 |
| Juest | yes, i want to login with root | 23:13 |
| Juest | not root shell | 23:14 |
| holstein | you can run GUI apps with gksudo | 23:14 |
| Juest | and ttys are not there anymore | 23:14 |
| Juest | i just see black screen | 23:14 |
| holstein | Juest: is something broken? | 23:14 |
| holstein | you really shouldnt need to enable a traditional root account | 23:14 |
| Juest | hmmm, is a partial installation, using update manager to fill it | 23:15 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install | 23:15 |
| Juest | i just want to login as uid0 (root) | 23:15 |
| holstein | right | 23:15 |
| holstein | you have to really go against the grain to facilitate that | 23:15 |
| holstein | and i suggest not doing it | 23:16 |
| holstein | and cant really imagine a scenario where you would have to | 23:16 |
| Juest | just like i have done in my older ex-mandrake | 23:16 |
| holstein | its do-able | 23:16 |
| Juest | then? | 23:16 |
| holstein | you want me to google it for you? | 23:16 |
| Juest | how do i do it | 23:16 |
| Juest | yes, please | 23:16 |
| MrChrisDruif | lmgtfy.com ;) | 23:16 |
| Juest | lol noob | 23:17 |
| holstein | http://blog.sudobits.com/2010/10/19/how-to-login-as-root-in-ubuntu-10-10/ | 23:17 |
| Juest | holstein, ok, i just want the command/place to change root pw | 23:17 |
| holstein | skimming that article, it looks right | 23:17 |
| holstein | Juest: by default there is no root password | 23:18 |
| holstein | its not the way it works | 23:18 |
| holstein | you sudo | 23:18 |
| Juest | yes, but the system asks for pw -.- | 23:18 |
| holstein | and bascially elevate the privs of the normal user | 23:18 |
| holstein | right | 23:18 |
| holstein | but there isnt one | 23:18 |
| holstein | because you havent enabled the root user | 23:18 |
| Juest | yeah, but i rather use root user instead of su | 23:18 |
| holstein | i mean, you put in the user butt | 23:18 |
| holstein | and it'll ask you for a password | 23:18 |
| holstein | Juest: right | 23:19 |
| holstein | see that link | 23:19 |
| holstein | and enable the account if you wish | 23:19 |
| holstein | and you can log in as root :) | 23:19 |
| holstein | good luck, i gotta run | 23:19 |
| MrChrisDruif | Juest: Your calling me a n00b? :P | 23:19 |

| MrChrisDruif | seidos: Same with me ;) | 23:49 |
| seidos | it was a torrent, i'm sure that's not the problem | 23:49 |
| MrChrisDruif | Never be sure | 23:49 |
| seidos | hey MrChrisDruif do you know how to create a live usb using dd? | 23:49 |
| MrChrisDruif | Always check | 23:49 |
| MrChrisDruif | Using dd? | 23:49 |
| MrChrisDruif | I've made live usb with unetbootin before | 23:49 |
| seidos | if i check and the md5sum matches, will you pay me $1 for my time? | 23:49 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hmmm, no :P | 23:50 |
| seidos | i heard it's possible with dd, at least with fedora | 23:50 |
| seidos | but i couldn't get fedora to boot either | 23:50 |
| MrChrisDruif | Maybe USB is broken? | 23:50 |

| seidos | i can read it too | 23:50 |
| seidos | yofel: yeah, beta1. i'll see about getting beta2. i didn't see it under releases.ubuntu.com, but beta1 was there, so that's what i grabbed | 23:53 |
