| dlumberg | perms on what? | 00:44 |
| dlumberg | and why would it change on a crash? | 00:44 |
| teejmya | So is this place alive, or what? | 04:55 |
| SunStar | yeah | 04:58 |
| SunStar | when it suites us | 04:58 |
| phf | hello, i'm experiencing unexpected trouble with my installation of 12.10. suddenly it won't boot anymore, it just kind of freezes displaying a few messages that are all commented with [OK]. i suggest there's something wrong with the graphics. | 08:39 |
| phf | does anybody have any advice? in addition: i installed rosegarden yesterday, that went well. one of the messages, displayed on the screen is "starting timidity alsa midi emulation [ok]", and it is often, but not always, the last message that is displayed, before there is no progress anymore. | 08:41 |
| Evil[1] | hello, I got some little questions... I tried ubuntu last year on my laptop and got massive problems with overheat and battery drain (that phoronix thing)... is this problem fix in recent versions? | 08:47 |
| Evil[1] | and secondly, is xubuntu is a fully supported distribution? | 08:48 |
| SunStar | 1) overheat fixed by running fans more, battery still drains quicker than it should. 2) yes | 08:53 |
| phf | okay i just got back into xfce, typing 'startx'. -.- any comments on that? :D | 08:58 |
| Evil[1] | hmmm, thanks. | 09:00 |
| Evil[1] | 2) is nice to hear... unity isn't my cup of tea, xfce is such a nice thing... but 1) is a real showstopper, to bad... if one thing is excellent in win7, then it's the power management. | 09:03 |
| SunStar | i dont know any linux that doesnt excessivly drain the battery | 09:06 |
| TheSheep | works fine on non-faulty hardware :) | 09:07 |
| SunStar | it should just work | 09:07 |
| SunStar | shouldnt need special hardware | 09:07 |
| TheSheep | it doesn't need special hardware, but if the hardware maker did something horrible, like in this case, there is nothing you can do | 09:07 |
| Evil[1] | yeah... but "more fan" to solve the overheat problem isn't a solution I would bet my bucks on. | 09:08 |
| TheSheep | agreed, fixing the hardware is the solution | 09:09 |
| Evil[1] | sadly enough, I'm not a hardware manufactor :-P My Acer Aspire 5750G works like a charm, silent and cool... good cheap hardware... | 09:13 |
| TheSheep | good for you | 09:14 |
| Evil[1] | not that good. as I'd like to change to xubuntu... | 09:15 |
| TheSheep | I wish that laptop manufacturers would have a little more transparency about what's inside the laptop you are buying :/ | 09:15 |
| SunStar | Evil[1], try 13.04 | 09:19 |
| Evil[1] | hmmm... I have an optimus graphics chipset... so it seems like a good idea to disable the nVidia side of things in the bios? | 09:35 |
| TheSheep | or just install bumblebee | 09:39 |
| Evil[1] | I just need the nVidia side of things for Diablo 3 which is for windows only anyways... | 09:42 |
| TheSheep | bumblebee comes with bbswitch and power management for the nvidia card | 09:43 |
| Evil[1] | hmmm... have to read some docs then. | 09:45 |
| Evil[1] | interesting. | 09:46 |
| Evil[1] | anyway, thanks for the help... I'll give it a try this evening. will report in tomorrow with a "how it went" report :-D | 09:48 |

| PhoenixSTF | hey anyone installed the amd 13.1 driver? | 14:26 |
| niuniomartinez | Hi | 14:47 |
| niuniomartinez | I've just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and I've found few issues with OpenGL/Nvidia. | 14:48 |
| PhoenixSTF | we are all having issues with grafic cards lately | 14:57 |
| niuniomartinez | Oh... | 14:58 |
| FRO5T | not me, im radeon user xD | 14:58 |
| niuniomartinez | Anyway, I see "jockey" was deprecated. | 14:58 |
| niuniomartinez | So, should I have to wait? | 15:00 |

| Wizard | Hi. | 19:02 |
| Wizard | Is there any way to force Java apps to use GTK LAF on Xubuntu? | 19:03 |
| Wizard | Seems java reads some gnome-speciffic settings to detect theme and doesn't obey XFCE settings manager :( | 19:03 |
| stlu | hi | 19:34 |
| lderan | hi | 19:34 |
| stlu | I'm trying to find out if sshd gives out information about valid usernames | 19:37 |
| Pici | What do you mean? | 19:37 |
| stlu | I posted the info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2131725 | 19:38 |
| stlu | I want to know if the attacker can see which usernames are real or not. | 19:38 |
| Pici | no | 19:38 |
| Pici | you may want to install fail2ban, which will block repeated failed password logins from the same ip address | 19:39 |
| stlu | Yes, I'm thinking of DenyHosts or fail2ban, this is an unexpected exercise for me today... | 19:39 |
| stlu | But the odd thing is, when I set PermitRootLogin to No, the attack changed. | 19:40 |
| stlu | It should not be able to know anything changed. | 19:40 |
| Pici | sshd doesn't give a different error message if the username is valid or invalid | 19:41 |
| stlu | freaky coincidence then | 19:41 |
| Pici | anyway, fail2ban is one of the first things I install if I have a public facing ssh server. | 19:42 |
| genii-around | Pici: I change 22 to something obscure | 19:45 |
| stlu | genii-around: as would I, usually. this is a special case for me, where I wanted it on 22 | 19:46 |
| stlu | I am planning to offer free shell accounts, in hopes of providing for educational use. | 19:47 |
| stlu | ...And perhaps to learn a thing or two about security from the not-so-good users | 19:48 |
| genii-around | Might want to also look at honeypot | 19:51 |
| stlu | I've seen the project honeypot page, do you mean setting up my own? | 19:57 |
| SunStar | whats wrong with just running an old winme machine with iis? | 19:58 |
| SunStar | XD | 19:58 |
| stlu | I'm trying out DenyHosts first, since it seems like a simpler method | 20:00 |
| xubuntu903 | Hi, I when I was set up my Xubuntu 12.04, I went to the site, "Xubuntu, a Classic Beauty" and followed the instructions to update first. I was sent to the Software section where it said that there was a bunch of updates to download, so I did, and I downloaded the new driver there too. Today, I am being told that there are 5 more updates to be had. Is it alright to keep up with updates? I mean, it's not going to hurt my setup right | 20:32 |
| xubuntu903 | sorry new here with linux | 20:32 |
| Myrtti | the updates aren't offered to make the computers run worse | 20:33 |
| Myrtti | that's not their intended effect | 20:33 |
| xubuntu903 | hahaha that's funny o.k. | 20:33 |
| Pici | Those are regular security updates that you will continue to see. | 20:33 |
| xubuntu903 | I just read somewhere to not update, maybe they said, not "upgrade". That would mean another clean download of Xubuntu 12.10 Right? | 20:34 |
| Myrtti | there's nothing to upgrade to yet | 20:36 |
| Myrtti | unless you push some buttons or switches that should be well hidden | 20:36 |
| xubuntu903 | oh what do you mean? How about 12.10? | 20:37 |
| Pici | From 12.04 you can upgrade to 12.10 | 20:37 |
| Myrtti | ah right, it was 12.04 | 20:38 |
| xubuntu903 | They say that 12.04 is better than 12.10. I also read that you have to save your files and a bunch of stuff before you want to upgrade to 12.10. | 20:38 |
| Pici | 'updates' usually just mean upgrading packages on the same release | 20:38 |
| Myrtti | sorry, misread | 20:38 |
| Pici | You should always preform a backup before any system upgrade. | 20:38 |
| xubuntu903 | oh good that's what I want to know. So, how long it 12.04 supported, and what exactly does "supported" mean/ | 20:39 |
| Pici | Chances are, even if things go wrong, you'd still be able to recover your files, but it just makes things easier. | 20:39 |
| Pici | 12.04 is supported for 5 years, which means that security updates will be published for that amount of time. It does not mean that you will packages updated with new features though. | 20:39 |
| xubuntu903 | o.k. that's good.. I think that's all of my questions for now. Thanks! | 20:40 |
| knome | Pici, 3 years for xubuntu though. | 20:49 |
| paulofr | algum brasileiro ou falar portugues ? | 21:26 |
| stlu | frick, I finished configuring DenyHosts and the attacker has gone elsewhere... | 21:32 |
| stlu | I wanted to see my new tool in action! | 21:34 |
| stlu | DenyHosts processed my existing log, denied my attacker already. So I won't have to wait after all! | 22:08 |

| n-iCe | guys | 23:28 |
| n-iCe | how is it called when you move the mouse to a corner and all the windows go to a background so you can choose between them? | 23:29 |
| ochosi | expose | 23:29 |
| ochosi | the only way you can really get that feature is to use compiz in xubuntu | 23:29 |
| n-iCe | expose? can it be enabled on xubuntu 12.10? | 23:29 |
| n-iCe | oh | 23:29 |
| n-iCe | compiz is not installed by default with xbuntu right? | 23:29 |
| ochosi | or you can install skippy-xd, but it's not entirely stable and stuff | 23:29 |
| ochosi | no | 23:30 |
| n-iCe | then I don't want it | 23:30 |
| n-iCe | :p | 23:30 |
| ochosi | should be in the FAQ though i suppose | 23:30 |
| ochosi | compiz is a lot more resource hungry and surely not as stable as xfwm4 | 23:30 |
| ochosi | so yeah, if you care about those things, then compiz isn't for you :p | 23:30 |
| n-iCe | I don't really care | 23:31 |
| n-iCe | But seems useful and fast to use | 23:31 |
| n-iCe | but I don't wanna start installing useless stuff | 23:31 |
| ochosi | personally i felt like adjusting my workflow to expose is harder than expected | 23:34 |
| ochosi | it's very mouse-focused | 23:34 |
| ochosi | and the keyboard ended up being faster/easier for me for many scenarios | 23:35 |
| ochosi | (afk) | 23:36 |
