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 [10:17] xsane? [10:19] what's that? [10:20] apt-cache show xsane [10:21] swscanner is a wifi scanner not an image scanner [10:22] I was a bit confused for a sec there [10:22] :G [10:38] hi all - is there any way to switch from10.10 UNR to the desktop version? This on a netbook without a CD-ROM [14:01] how to play video in backtrack? [14:06] hello aztek [14:07] hello duadesign [14:07] *duanedesign [14:08] aztek: have you installed backtrack or are you running it on a LiveCD? [14:09] i have install it in my laptop [14:11] but no sound and i can't play video on it [14:12] aztek: which version is it? [14:12] 4 r 1 [14:16] aztek: I wouls install ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:16] would* [14:17] wher i can download it? [14:18] aztek: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:19] that command in a terminal should do it. [14:20] aztek: for video you can install mplayer and the GUI for it SMplayer. [14:20] sudo apt-get install mplayer smplayer [14:21] am at home now [14:21] so, i just can use modem [14:22] i can't use modem in backtrack [14:22] i am using ubuntu now [14:23] i will try it tomorro [14:23] looks like their are some meta packages that backtrack has [14:23] *tomorrow [14:24] for setting modem? [14:24] backtrack­world
and
backtrack­desktop.

 [14:24] backtrack­world
 contains
 all
 the
 BackTrack
 meta
 packages,
 while
 backtrack­ [14:24] desktop
 contains
 backtrack­world,
 backtrack­networking
 and
 backtrack­ [14:24] multimedia.
 The
 latter
 two
 meta
 packages
 are
 select
 applications
 imported
 from
 [14:24] Ubuntu
repositories.

 [14:25] I imaging those have hyphens and not spaces [14:26] so backtrack­networking would probably be backtrack-networking [14:27] those are meta packages so they likely will download a lot of packages. Something to think about if you are on a modem [14:29] my friend suggested to install sakis, but i don't know how to installl it [14:55] i wanna off [14:55] thank you duanedesign for your help [14:56] see u soon [15:30] Hello there [15:30] hi [15:31] Hai [15:31] 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% ) [15:33] !fan [15:33] ?? [15:33] !ping [15:34] bot is dead [15:34] my fan speed, cooler, isn't FAN the correct word for that? [15:35] rokyronnie: yes, that is the correct word. [15:36] rokyronnie, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=846480 [15:36] so.. there's nothing with graphical interface? [15:37] nope [15:37] atleast I dont know [15:58] I tried now with Thinkfan but I can't figure out with it, can someone help me? [15:58] what is thinkfan? [15:58] rokyronnie: is it too loud? [15:59] very very loud [15:59] did you look at the hardware? [15:59] yes.... but I can't do anything to it [15:59] is there a bunch of crap in the heat sink? [16:00] you can get some compressed air [16:00] and blow the junk out [16:00] I clean it for many times [16:00] i mean, the fan is keeping the CPU cool [16:00] as an audio recording guy [16:01] i have found computers too loud in the past [16:01] i used to keep the tower over in a closet [16:01] and get really long cables [16:01] it's not a new model, it's a Sempron 3200+ [16:01] that worked well [16:01] :)) [16:01] rokyronnie: a new fan is cheap [16:02] fans are a couple bucks [16:02] depends of what country are you spoken about [16:03] nah [16:03] theres used shops everywhere [16:03] charity shops [16:03] and amazon.com :) [16:03] if I want a better one, here it's like 30-40e which means a lot [16:04] well, im sure you can sort it out [16:04] i would suggest not telling the fan to run slower [16:04] its running fast for a reason [16:04] either the fan is going bad [16:04] and not cooling well [16:04] in windows is running down to 50% from a long time [16:04] and there were no problems [16:04] rokyronnie: xp? [16:04] xp is 10 years old [16:05] ubuntu is quite a bit more modern than xp [16:05] yeah, which when I came back home from faculty, it was broken, why? "only god knows" [16:05] and linux is typically not as capable of controlling those devices [16:05] could not find windws:\... \system43\config [16:05] I can't suffer it anymore [16:05] rokyronnie: it? [16:06] you mean your windows install was broken? [16:06] sorry if my english is not so good and if I do mistakes, but I am pretty tired [16:06] oh no [16:06] rokyronnie: i have an HP mininote [16:06] just... I turned my PC on, and that message appeared when I tried to boot to windows [16:06] lots of VIA hardware [16:07] same deal [16:07] when under xp [16:07] fairly quiet [16:07] but the graphics driver in linux seems to make it run hotter [16:07] and its small anyways [16:07] prone to running hot [16:07] Linux doesn't handle fan speed as well as Windows [16:08] my fan speed is always on 100% [16:08] The speed control modules are pretty buggy, and they fallback to running at full blast regardless of the heaat [16:08] it doesn't have that future [16:09] rokyronnie: maybe you can google the hardware you have [16:09] and find better support [16:09] maybe a kernel that does a better job [16:10] i have had luck cleaning the machine though [16:10] and getting a quieter system [16:10] in win/lin [18:33] 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? === Bipul is now known as Bipul` === kevin4896 is now known as kdemarest [20:00] Hi Guys, can anyone help me in setting up VPN on Ubuntu 10.10? [20:04] Is there a way to put a clock on my screen after my screen locks out? [20:04] 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] I'd have no idea, sorry. [20:05] The say VPN works just fine on windows and MAC! [20:06] say = same [20:06] Omsniffiscent, thanks ;) [20:07] Honestly I don't even know what a VPN is :) [20:07] Internetz? [20:08] Oh I remember Virtualized Private Network? [20:11] http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/15715/ [20:11] I guess there's no way. :( [20:12] Though, that was in 2008 [20:13] Aman1st: via ssh? [20:13] But all of the other hits are how to change the timer for the lockout screen. [20:13] it's just a standard PPTP setup [20:13] you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient ? [20:14] Yes I did read that. [20:14] Didn't help :( [20:14] yeah? [20:14] what were the error messages? [20:15] Just says connection failed. No error message! [20:15] what says? [20:16] did you try the pptp-linux package? [20:16] holstein, stand by... I'm going to set it up again and give you the exact message. [20:16] Omsniffiscent: i would look at screensavers [20:16] with time [20:16] will try that too [20:16] Aman1st: im about to run out [20:16] k [20:16] but that will be helpful for someone [20:17] IF you can run an app from the terminal too [20:17] thanks mate [20:17] that will give you more output usually [20:17] helpful trouble-shooting output [20:17] *hopefully :) [20:17] ;) [20:17] But my monitor turns completely off when my screensaver comes on. I guess that's my only option, though. [20:18] Omsniffiscent: check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1028362 [20:18] its a little old [20:18] If I move my mouse to turn my monitor back on it will stop the screensaver lol [20:18] but, i think thats the angle you should take [20:18] Omsniffiscent: there are settings [20:18] sometimes they are fiddly [20:18] but, you should be able to have the screensaver without the screen blanking [20:18] Omsniffiscent: are you using gnome? [20:19] Yes. [20:19] cool [20:19] I <3 gnome [20:19] i find since that the default [20:19] or was* [20:19] heh [20:19] thats usually the best case for things to work [20:19] good luck folks [20:19] 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] I'm off too. Later === kevin6888296 is now known as seidos [23:11] ok, how do i change root password? [23:12] Juest: we dont really have root [23:12] unless you have changed the default setup [23:13] you use sudo [23:13] and use your user pass [23:13] in a terminal [23:13] you can run sudo -s [23:13] and have a root shell [23:13] yes, i want to login with root [23:14] not root shell [23:14] you can run GUI apps with gksudo [23:14] and ttys are not there anymore [23:14] i just see black screen [23:14] Juest: is something broken? [23:14] you really shouldnt need to enable a traditional root account [23:15] hmmm, is a partial installation, using update manager to fill it [23:15] sudo apt-get install [23:15] i just want to login as uid0 (root) [23:15] right [23:15] you have to really go against the grain to facilitate that [23:16] and i suggest not doing it [23:16] and cant really imagine a scenario where you would have to [23:16] just like i have done in my older ex-mandrake [23:16] its do-able [23:16] then? [23:16] you want me to google it for you? [23:16] how do i do it [23:16] yes, please [23:16] lmgtfy.com ;) [23:17] lol noob [23:17] http://blog.sudobits.com/2010/10/19/how-to-login-as-root-in-ubuntu-10-10/ [23:17] holstein, ok, i just want the command/place to change root pw [23:17] skimming that article, it looks right [23:18] Juest: by default there is no root password [23:18] its not the way it works [23:18] you sudo [23:18] yes, but the system asks for pw -.- [23:18] and bascially elevate the privs of the normal user [23:18] right [23:18] but there isnt one [23:18] because you havent enabled the root user [23:18] yeah, but i rather use root user instead of su [23:18] i mean, you put in the user butt [23:18] and it'll ask you for a password [23:19] Juest: right [23:19] see that link [23:19] and enable the account if you wish [23:19] and you can log in as root :) [23:19] good luck, i gotta run [23:19] Juest: Your calling me a n00b? :P [23:19] oh, got it [23:19] lol, because of lmgtfy :P [23:19] i hate that sh******** [23:40] holstein: ping [23:41] pong [23:44] MrChrisDruif: ping [23:44] Aloha kevin6889 [23:47] natty wouldn't boot MrChrisDruif from a live usb [23:48] Hmm, not nice [23:48] what should i do?

[23:49] seidos: Same with me ;) [23:49] it was a torrent, i'm sure that's not the problem [23:49] Never be sure [23:49] hey MrChrisDruif do you know how to create a live usb using dd? [23:49] Always check [23:49] Using dd? [23:49] I've made live usb with unetbootin before [23:49] if i check and the md5sum matches, will you pay me $1 for my time? [23:50] Hmmm, no :P [23:50] i heard it's possible with dd, at least with fedora [23:50] but i couldn't get fedora to boot either [23:50] Maybe USB is broken? [23:50] dd if=F12-Live-i686.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M [23:50] nah, it's worked before [23:50] it's some software thing, i'm sure of it [23:50] which image? beta1? try the beta2 candidate images, at least there wasn't a failed to boot bug filed for them yet http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/ [23:50] i can read it too [23:53] 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] yep, beta2 is due tomorrow, so you can help testing the isos if beta1 doesn't work ;) [23:53] seidos: #ubuntu+1 [23:54] Juest: but i'm a beginner ;) [23:54] lol [23:54] idk then [23:55] ask there where's beginner channel for beta,etc [23:55] Juest: just messing with you, it's a good idea.
