[12:24] <flubber> does anybody know how to check your ip?
[12:24] <crimsun> ip a
[12:24] <flubber> i just type that into terminal?
[12:24] <crimsun> yes.
[12:24] <flubber> thanks
[01:09] <flubbe1> how do you close and open ports?
[01:11] <flubber> is there a way to close and open ports on edubuntu?
[01:15] <LaserJock> like with a firewall?
[01:15] <flubber> yah
[01:18] <LaserJock> you might try firestarter
[01:18] <flubber> is there anything on edubuntu that manges the ports now?
[01:19] <LaserJock> well, firestarter is pretty good I think
[01:20] <flubber> have you heard of portmap
[01:20] <LaserJock> sure
[01:20] <flubber> how do i use it?
[01:22] <LaserJock> flubber: http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man8/portmap.8.php
[01:23] <LaserJock> flubber: but I think you might want to check out http://www.fs-security.com/
[01:23] <flubber> so if i am not using portmap than that means that all of my ports are open right now?
[01:23] <LaserJock> no
[01:23] <LaserJock> for Ubuntu anyway, the default install has no ports open
[01:23] <flubber> then what is blocking my ports?
[01:24] <LaserJock> well, if there isn't anything listening then there's nothing to block
[01:24] <flubber> so there isn't anything on edubuntu that can i use to manage the ports but firestarter?
[01:24] <LaserJock> Edubuntu probably has a few ports like ssh open on a default install
[01:24] <LaserJock> oh, I'm sure there are
[01:25] <flubber> yah thats one of the ones open i
[01:25] <LaserJock> but firestarter is supposed to be the best/easiest to use firewall in Linux
[01:26] <flubber> thanks
[01:26] <LaserJock> they even have a graphical wizard :-)
[01:27] <LaserJock> I've never used a firewall in Linux so I'm not much help
[01:27] <flubber> do you know how i could host an irc server on my computer?
[01:27] <flubber> its linux
[01:27] <LaserJock> there are a few irc servers available
[01:27] <flubber> can you give a good one with a wizzard?
[01:27] <flubber> i can't find any
[01:28] <LaserJock> I don't think there are ones with wizzards
[01:28] <LaserJock> ircd is the one I know
[01:28] <flubber> is there one that is really easy to install
[01:28] <LaserJock> well, installation is easy, configuring might be hard
[01:28] <flubber> i am fareley new to linux but i think i got the hang of it
[01:29] <flubber> well if installing it is easy then ok
[01:29] <flubber> how could it be hard to configure it?
[01:29] <LaserJock> because it's all from a terminal with config files
[01:29] <flubber> could you give me link?
[01:30] <LaserJock> for ircd http://www.nic.funet.fi/~irc/server/
[01:31] <LaserJock> here's an example configuration file ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/unix/irc/docs/server-docs/example.conf
[01:32] <flubber> i tried this one before do you have one that is hard to install but easy to configure?
[01:32] <LaserJock> hehe
[01:32] <LaserJock> I don't know of one
[01:33] <flubber> so thats the only one you know of?
[01:33] <LaserJock> yep
[01:33] <flubber> ok well i will try it again
[01:34] <LaserJock> generally IRC servers are big operations
[01:34] <flubber> have you ever installed it before?
[01:34] <LaserJock> no
[01:34] <LaserJock> I've never had a need to have my own IRC server
[01:34] <LaserJock> I think I'd probably set up a jabber server
[01:35] <flubber> what is a jabber server
[01:36] <LaserJock> jabber is a instant messaging protocol
[01:36] <flubber> are they easy to setup?
[01:36] <LaserJock> like AIM
[01:36] <flubber> or less hard then irc?
[01:36] <LaserJock> I think so
[01:36] <flubber> i used to im
[01:37] <flubber> could you help me find one of those?
[01:38] <flubber> nvm
[01:38] <flubber> found one
[01:38] <flubber> thanks for the help
[01:38] <flubber> talk2ulatr] 
[01:38] <flubber> i am going to set it up now
[01:38] <LaserJock> flubber: here's one http://www.subvs.co.uk/installing_wildfire_jabber_server
[01:39] <flubber> laserjock: http://linuxgazette.net/112/tomar.html
[01:40] <LaserJock> that one looks like it might be a bit more complicated
[01:40] <LaserJock> I'm looking for instructions that are for Ubuntu specifically
[01:40] <flubber> is seems more fun though and it doesn;t use mysql
[01:41] <flubber> well i will be right back have to eat dinner
[01:41] <LaserJock> I've got to run too
[04:31] <flubber> how do you delete a directory with files in it?
[04:32] <Kamping_Kaiser> in cli?
[04:32] <flubber> in terminal
[04:33] <cbx33> cli = terminal
[04:33] <flubber> oh
[04:33] <Kamping_Kaiser> rm -r
[04:33] <flubber> ok i am going to try it
[04:34] <flubber> thank you
[04:34] <flubber> it worked
[04:35] <Kamping_Kaiser> np. just be careful when using the command
[04:35] <Kamping_Kaiser> getting stuff back is a lot harder then getting rid of it
[04:35] <cbx33> heheh
[04:35] <cbx33> indeed
[04:36] <flubber> you know the users home directorys, well they don't delete themselves after the user has been deleted
[04:36] <flubber> so i wanted to delete them
[04:36] <cbx33> i see
[04:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> flubber, edit /etc/deluser.conf (asuming you remvoe them with deluser on the commandline)
[04:38] <Kamping_Kaiser> at work i delete accounts+backup the files and email incase i need to get data out one day
[04:39] <flubber> i use the system -> administrator -> users and groups
[04:40] <Kamping_Kaiser> your on your own then :0
[04:41] <flubber> to use what u use do i just cd to the directory and type ./deluser.conf start?
[04:42] <Kamping_Kaiser> to remove a user? open a terminal as administrator, and type `sudo deluser fred` (if fred is the user)
[04:42] <cbx33> hey encompass
[04:42] <encompass> hey there
[04:42] <cbx33> everyone welcome encompass one of our GSoC students
[04:42] <Kamping_Kaiser> and if you edit the deluser.conf (in /etc/) you can make it do things like backup homes+remove them
[04:42] <encompass> hey there
[04:43] <cbx33> so yeh, I suggest hanging out in here encompass
[04:43] <cbx33> even if you're not active all the time

[04:43] <encompass> all righty
[04:43] <cbx33> and can help with testing etc
[04:44] <cliebow> anyone installed feisty from a sony expansion base?recognizing the cdrom?
[04:44] <encompass> cbx33: would devel be worth a look too?
[04:44] <cbx33> hmm
[04:44] <cbx33> i wouldn't have thought not
[04:44] <cbx33> they are very specific in their topics
[04:44] <cbx33> here is a very good place to hang
[04:44] <encompass> okey
[04:45] <encompass> cbx33: do you know if there is a mailing list for GSoC with ubuntu/edubuntu
[04:45] <encompass> ?
[04:45] <cbx33> there is
[04:45] <cbx33> I'm not sure if it's just for mentors
[04:45] <cbx33> or if there is a seperate one
[04:45] <cbx33> hang on lemme check
[04:47] <cbx33> encompass, https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-soc
[04:47] <cbx33> for everyone
[04:48] <encompass> cbx33: alrighty
[04:51] <encompass> cbx33: looks like I have to wait before I am into the list.
[04:51] <cbx33> oh?
[04:51] <cbx33> is it moderated?
[04:51] <encompass> cbx33: I have signed the ubuntu code of conduct, felt it the right things to do
[04:51] <encompass> cbx33: yeah... no confirmation email
