SuperLagany of you guys have Mono installed on your Ubuntu boxen?08:41

pittiSuperLag: should not make much of a difference on Ubuntu08:41
SuperLagI've added the lines to the repositories, according to the wiki page... but no workey.08:41
SuperLagSince you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed.08:42
dokofabbione: just wanted to remove the file from the binary08:52

plovs_worksabdfl, as an admin, i personally don't use it, all these tools exist on cli. But for regular users who want something a little more powerfull, i think many would appreciate it. It is on the gnome-website so people miss it when it is not there.10:48
=== fabbione does some woody -> warty upgrade tests
sabdflplovs_work: i guess it is in main for those who want it. but i think it would go well in Applications->System Tools10:55

=== pitti is going to convert his mp3s to ogg now...
pittiazeem: the licensing page talks about "technology", not "software"11:23

pittiazeem: from the website: "I have my own/third party mp3 software. Do I need a license?11:26
pittiYes. Use of our patents is not related to a specific implementation of encoders and decoders, which means that a license under our patents is needed. "11:26

pittithom: maybe your 64 bit are enough to make it work :-)01:42
pittithom: as soon as the build finished, I can debug this, if you want01:42
thomwell, it's litterally the biggest bug i have left, so i might as well01:44
thomi have a faster machine too, so it's much less painful for me :-)01:44
pittithom: okay01:44
pittithom: how do you build debugging versions, BTW? If not with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS?01:44

pittithom: they are not hw-specific, I think02:26
pittialso, apm_emu02:27

Kamiontesting doesn't seem to be producing particularly excellent results (it's bug #1566); on the other hand, due to the nature of the bug it's very difficult to test a fix reliably once you've encountered it on a given machine, and I haven't heard anyone saying that the patch has behaved any worse than the original09:07

KamionWhat do people think of this text, for an OpenSSH upgrade question?09:38
Kamion_Description: Disable challenge-response authentication?09:38
Kamion Password authentication appears to be disabled in your current OpenSSH09:38
Kamion server configuration. In order to prevent users from logging in using09:38
Kamion passwords (perhaps using only public key authentication instead) with09:38
Kamion recent versions of OpenSSH, you must disable challenge-response09:38
Kamion authentication, or else ensure that your PAM configuration does not allow09:38
Kamion Unix password file authentication.09:38
Kamion .09:39
Kamion If you disable challenge-response authentication (the default answer), then09:39
Kamion users will not be able to log in using passwords, only with their private09:39
Kamion keys. If you leave it enabled, then the 'PasswordAuthentication no' option09:39
Kamion will have no useful effect unless you also adjust your PAM configuration in09:39
Kamion /etc/pam.d/ssh.09:39
Kamion[note: this will only be displayed to people who have already modified sshd_config themselves] 09:39
fabbioneKamion: perhaps you can avoid repeating twice the key atuhentication stuff09:40
fabbione(perhaps using only public key09:40
fabbioneonly with their09:40
fabbione          private09:40
fabbione<Kamion>  keys.09:40
fabbioneyou repeat it twice telling 2 different keys09:41
fabbioneit might be confusing09:41
Kamion"public key authentication" is the term used in the manual page and the correct name for the authentication mode, but you don't use your public key to log in09:41
KamionI could just take out ", only with their private keys" I guess09:42
fabbioneyes i know what you meam09:42

Kamionit did occur to me when I wrote it that it might be a little confusing; since somebody else thought so as well, I'll take it out09:42
