[03:04] <blanky> what's up jrib
[03:04] <blanky> maybe screen -X ?
[03:04] <jrib> blanky: ok can you explain again what exactly you are doing?
[03:05] <blanky> okay
[03:05] <blanky> so I ssh'ed into my friends computer under the new username I made becuase I didn't want him to have to give me his username and password
[03:05] <blanky> I'm ssh'ed in now, but I screated a screen session and I want him to be able to join it but we're under different usernames
[03:05] <nalioth> i don't think that's possible
[03:06] <blanky> oh really :( okay
[03:06] <jrib> you can nalioth
[03:06] <nalioth> jrib: you can?
[03:06] <jrib> yes, but screen needs to be setuid root
[03:06] <blanky> okay
[03:06] <blanky> sudo setuid root screen ?
[03:07] <blanky> and then on his part, screen -x ?
[03:07] <jrib> it's  alittle more complicated than taht iirc
[03:07] <jrib> blanky: sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/screen
[03:07] <blanky> nevermind, I'm stupid, my friend's just gonna login to the new user we created haha
[03:07] <jrib> heh ok
[03:07] <jrib> that's an easier way, yes
[03:07] <tonyyarusso> nalioth: it is possible
[03:07] <blanky> thanks though jrib I appreciate it
[03:08] <tonyyarusso> blanky: I have a link to instructions - a sec
[03:08] <blanky> tonyyarusso: sweet, thanks
[03:10] <tonyyarusso> blanky: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Snoop_terminal_session#Screen, http://www.bangmoney.org/presentations/screen.html (3/4 of the way down)
[03:11] <nalioth> jrib: i don't snoop
[03:12] <jrib> nalioth: sure
[03:13] <blanky> thanks tonyyarusso
[03:15] <nalioth> i see tonyyarusso is a snoop, though
[03:16] <tonyyarusso> Not really - it just came in handy one day.  It's a potential security hazard though, so remove the setuid when you're done
[03:17] <nalioth> right . . . .
[03:18] <nalioth> SNOOP  :P
[03:18] <tonyyarusso> ;)
[03:18] <nalioth> blanky: it is a security risk.
[03:18] <blanky> okay, good to know anyways, thanks guys!
[09:15] <rickyfingers> ok naolith, I'm here now.
[09:15] <rickyfingers> What's up?
[09:15] <nalioth> rickyfingers: open a console please and type "man update-alternatives"
[09:16] <rickyfingers> got it.
[09:16] <nalioth> it is with this command YOU decide which program your system uses for things
[09:16] <nalioth> so you can select your default java version with it
[09:17] <rickyfingers> I see. Thanks for the info.
[09:17] <nalioth> might save you some trouble in the future, i'd suggest you use the commands necessary to list EVERY item it can adjust
[09:18] <rickyfingers> ok I'm taking the plunge now and installing sun-java5-jre and the depending -bin package
[09:19] <rickyfingers> and eclipse is starting, but still got an error.
[09:20] <rickyfingers> ok checking out the .log file for clues...
[09:21] <nalioth> did you do the update-alternatives ?
[09:22] <rickyfingers> No...I thought I'd have to use that to fix open office later...
[09:23] <mattyv> Pardon me for interrupting, but don't worry about office, you select which java you want it to use in the Tools > Options menu, it's separate
[09:25] <rickyfingers> mattyv: I'll make a note of that fact.  I just seem to remebmer I had issues with java versions and oo a few months ago.
[09:25] <rickyfingers> I'm also using a 64 bit kernel, and that may be complicating matters as well.
[09:26] <mattyv> Not sure
[09:27] <rickyfingers> I'm looking in the .log file now.
[09:28] <rickyfingers> I've got an UnsatisfiedLinkError
[09:28] <rickyfingers> so I think that means I'm missing a library...
[09:30] <rickyfingers> just for the record, oo is working fine, and using sun's java - I don't think it was before.
[09:31] <rickyfingers> I was getting a crash with oo presentation before, when I clicked on the menu bar but now it seems to be fixed.
[09:32] <rickyfingers> So what I was worried about did not happen...which is good, now I just need to fix eclipse or the underlying jre
[09:33] <rickyfingers> we look for things...things that make our ship go...
[09:38] <rickyfingers> looks like I should've googled first https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/68053 is exactly what I'm experiencing here.
[09:39] <rickyfingers> Sorry for not rtfm'ing more...
[09:44] <rickyfingers> anyhow, manual install of eclipse seems to work fine.
[06:19] <tonyyarusso> Hey, I was about to pop out for a moment, does someone have time to handle a RestrictedFormats walkthrough?
