[04:19] <thewrath> Hey all!
[04:21] <thewrath> Hey dyess0021 and kristian-aalborg
[04:22] <kristian-aalborg> morn
[04:22] <thewrath> do you guys know where one could purchase a cheap hub?
[04:25] <kristian-aalborg> I got a used router for almost nothing, it works fine
[04:26] <thewrath> i need it for snort
[08:49] <duanedesign> morning all
[10:15] <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
[10:17] <bioterror> xsane?
[10:19] <Dr0pB3ar> what's that?
[10:20] <bioterror> apt-cache show xsane
[10:21] <Dr0pB3ar> swscanner is a wifi scanner not an image scanner
[10:22] <Dr0pB3ar> I was a bit confused for a sec there
[10:22] <bioterror> :G
[10:38] <beachbuddah> 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] <aztek> how to play video in backtrack?
[14:06] <duanedesign> hello aztek
[14:07] <aztek> hello duadesign
[14:07] <aztek> *duanedesign
[14:08] <duanedesign> aztek: have you installed backtrack or are you running it on a LiveCD?
[14:09] <aztek> i have install it in my laptop
[14:11] <aztek> but no sound and i can't play video on it
[14:12] <duanedesign> aztek: which version is it?
[14:12] <aztek> 4 r 1
[14:16] <duanedesign> aztek: I wouls install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:16] <duanedesign> would*
[14:17] <aztek> wher i can download it?
[14:18] <duanedesign> aztek: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:19] <duanedesign> that command in a terminal should do it.
[14:20] <duanedesign> aztek: for video you can install mplayer and the GUI for it SMplayer.
[14:20] <duanedesign> sudo apt-get install mplayer smplayer
[14:21] <aztek> am at home now
[14:21] <aztek> so, i just can use modem
[14:22] <aztek> i can't use modem in backtrack
[14:22] <aztek> i am using ubuntu now
[14:23] <aztek>  i will try it tomorro
[14:23] <duanedesign> looks like their are some meta packages that backtrack has
[14:23] <aztek> *tomorrow
[14:24] <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.  
[14:25] <duanedesign> I imaging those have hyphens and not spaces
[14:26] <duanedesign> so  backtrack­networking would probably be  backtrack-networking
[14:27] <duanedesign> those are meta packages so they likely will download a lot of packages. Something to think about if you are on a modem
[14:29] <aztek> my friend suggested to install sakis, but i don't know how to installl it
[14:55] <aztek> i wanna off
[14:55] <aztek> thank you duanedesign for your help
[14:56] <aztek> see u soon
[15:30] <rokyronnie> Hello there
[15:30] <Abhijit> hi
[15:31] <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% )
[15:33] <Abhijit> !fan
[15:33] <Abhijit> ??
[15:33] <Abhijit> !ping
[15:34] <Abhijit> bot is dead
[15:34] <rokyronnie> my fan speed, cooler, isn't FAN the correct word for that?
[15:35] <charlie-tca> rokyronnie: yes, that is the correct word.
[15:36] <Abhijit> rokyronnie, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=846480
[15:36] <rokyronnie> so.. there's nothing with graphical interface?
[15:37] <Abhijit> nope
[15:37] <Abhijit> atleast I dont know
[15:58] <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?
[15:59] <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?
[16:00] <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
[16:01] <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
[16:02] <holstein> fans are a couple bucks
[16:02] <rokyronnie> depends of what country are you spoken about
[16:03] <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
[16:04] <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
[16:05] <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?
[16:06] <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
[16:07] <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
[16:08] <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
[16:09] <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
[16:10] <holstein> i have had luck cleaning the machine though
[16:10] <holstein> and getting a quieter system
[16:10] <holstein> in win/lin
[18:33] <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?
[20:00] <Aman1st> Hi Guys, can anyone help me in setting up VPN on Ubuntu 10.10?
[20:04] <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.
[20:05] <Aman1st> The say VPN works just fine on windows and MAC!
[20:06] <Aman1st> say = same
[20:06] <Aman1st> Omsniffiscent, thanks ;)
[20:07] <Omsniffiscent> Honestly I don't even know what a VPN is :)
[20:07] <Omsniffiscent> Internetz?
[20:08] <Omsniffiscent> Oh I remember Virtualized Private Network?
[20:11] <Omsniffiscent> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/15715/
[20:11] <Omsniffiscent> I guess there's no way. :(
[20:12] <Omsniffiscent> Though, that was in 2008
[20:13] <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 ?
[20:14] <Aman1st> Yes I did read that.
[20:14] <Aman1st> Didn't help :(
[20:14] <holstein> yeah?
[20:14] <holstein> what were the error messages?
[20:15] <Aman1st> Just says connection failed. No error message!
[20:15] <holstein> what says?
[20:16] <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
[20:17] <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.
[20:18] <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?
[20:19] <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
[23:11] <Juest> ok, how do i change root password?
[23:12] <holstein> Juest: we dont really have root
[23:12] <holstein> unless you have changed the default setup
[23:13] <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
[23:14] <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
[23:15] <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
[23:16] <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 ;)
[23:17] <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
[23:18] <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
[23:19] <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] <Juest> oh, got it
[23:19] <Juest> lol, because of lmgtfy :P
[23:19] <Juest> i hate that sh********
[23:40] <kristian-aalborg> holstein: ping
[23:41] <MrChrisDruif> pong
[23:44] <kevin6889> MrChrisDruif: ping
[23:44] <MrChrisDruif> Aloha kevin6889
[23:47] <kevin6889> natty wouldn't boot MrChrisDruif from a live usb
[23:48] <MrChrisDruif> Hmm, not nice
[23:48] <kevin6889> what should i do?
[23:48]  * kevin6889 throws the problem at MrChrisDruif 
[23:48] <MrChrisDruif> Ow....your seidos :P
[23:48] <seidos> Ow, or Oh?
[23:49] <MrChrisDruif> Did you check md5sum?
[23:49] <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?
[23:50] <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> dd if=F12-Live-i686.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M
[23:50] <seidos> nah, it's worked before
[23:50] <seidos> it's some software thing, i'm sure of it
[23:50] <yofel> 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] <seidos> i can read it too
[23:53] <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] <yofel> yep, beta2 is due tomorrow, so you can help testing the isos if beta1 doesn't work ;)
[23:53] <Juest> seidos: #ubuntu+1
[23:54] <seidos> Juest: but i'm a beginner ;)
[23:54] <Juest> lol
[23:54] <Juest> idk then
[23:55] <Juest> ask there where's beginner channel for beta,etc
[23:55] <seidos> Juest: just messing with you, it's a good idea.
[23:55] <Juest> lol
[23:55] <Juest> :)
[23:57] <seidos> ah, so beta2 is out tomorrow, all right
