| nalioth | i use rtorrent now | 06:07 |
| nalioth | crdlb: what does it do that exceeds rtorrent? | 06:07 |
| crdlb | well it has a gui | 06:08 |
| crdlb | and I think there's a webui in the latest version | 06:08 |
| === nalioth hates GUIs | ||

| crdlb | it does | 06:12 |
| nalioth | you can download one TV show out of a seasons torrent? | 06:12 |
| crdlb | in the file listing, you press space to set the priority to high normal or off | 06:12 |
| nalioth | ah | 06:13 |
| nalioth | will have to look at that | 06:13 |

| ompaul | methinks the !sudo works | 03:32 |
| ompaul | do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:33 |
| ompaul | that is ! sudo | 03:33 |

| Hobbsee | why arent people getting what !foo | user means? | 04:02 |
| Hobbsee | is the #ubuntu community seriously that dumb that they cant read, and figure out what's being addressed to them? | 04:03 |

| mc44 | Hobbsee: if only people were sane :) | 04:05 |
| Hobbsee | heh | 04:05 |

| Jucato | well, DSL is almost pretty much available from the local telcos... the only problem is no one applies much :) | 04:45 |
| Tm_T | oki | 04:46 |
| Tm_T | so, infrastructure is there | 04:46 |
| Jucato | yep. | 04:46 |
| Tm_T | that's always good | 04:47 |
| Jucato | but it's less the internet connection availability and more of computer per household availability :) | 04:47 |

| Tm_T | Jucato: hum? | 04:47 |
| Jucato | nalioth: oh noes :) | 04:47 |
| Jucato | Tm_T: meaning, people here have computers at home :) | 04:48 |
| Jucato | and if they do, internet connection is not always a priority... and they usually make do with dial up (also easily available from the local telco) | 04:48 |
| Tm_T | ah, sounds good | 04:48 |
| Jucato | one reason why not so many people buy computers is because there are so many internet cafe's here | 04:49 |
| Tm_T | heh | 04:49 |
| Tm_T | that always helps and is sort of reasonable | 04:49 |
| Jucato | and makes it actually harder to promote FOSS and Linux :) | 04:50 |
| Tm_T | I have seen many people have pc in the corner just waiting without use | 04:50 |
| Tm_T | Jucato: net cafe's don't care about freedom that is? | 04:50 |
| Jucato | most of the internet cafe's here thrive on PC/online games, that work only on Windows | 04:50 |

| Amaranth | ompaul: looks like a case of "I misread the wiki, please fix it!" | 11:16 |
| Burgundavia | ompaul: I do | 11:16 |
| ompaul | Burgundavia, it would be nice to get the root sudo page to a place of sanity | 11:17 |
| Burgundavia | I thought it was | 11:17 |
| ompaul | it is back telling people how to set up root on it | 11:17 |
| ompaul | without dire warnings ;-) | 11:17 |
| Burgundavia | looking | 11:17 |
| ompaul | Burgundavia, when you are happy lock it ;-) | 11:18 |
| Burgundavia | right | 11:19 |
| Amaranth | it's not telling them that | 11:19 |
| Amaranth | it's telling them how to _lock_ root if they for some reason enabled it | 11:20 |
| Burgundavia | it is telling them to use -i to create a root sheel | 11:20 |
| Burgundavia | shell, rather | 11:20 |
| Burgundavia | also not recommended | 11:20 |
| ompaul | big you will have to hand up your first born warnings and so on should be there | 11:21 |
| ompaul | or better yet not have that stuff there at all | 11:21 |
| Burgundavia | I just changed it to tell them how to redisable it | 11:22 |
| jrib | ompaul: I removed the warning, because it doesn't actual say how to enable it anymore. Just mentions 'sudo -i' and how to disable it if someone has enabled it in the past | 11:22 |
| Amaranth | sudo -i is useful sometimes | 11:22 |
| Amaranth | well, i use sudo -s but yeah | 11:23 |
| ompaul | jrib, it does say how to enable it - or did 5 mins ago | 11:23 |
| jrib | hmm | 11:23 |
| Burgundavia | please look now | 11:23 |
| ompaul | jrib, sudo -i (equivalent to sudo su -) sudo -s (equivalent to sudo su) sudo -i -u username | 11:23 |
| ompaul | jrib, all of which were wrong | 11:24 |
| jrib | well sudo -i isn't the same as enabling the root account, the page used to contain sudo passwd root , I thought you were referring to this | 11:24 |
| Amaranth | ompaul: as i said, according to the history at least as far back as the 9th it did _not_ tell you how to enable root | 11:24 |
| ompaul | Burgundavia, how about if this move: To use sudo on the command line, preface the command with sudo, as below: TO the bottom of the page | 11:26 |
| Burgundavia | ompaul: go nuts | 11:26 |
| Burgundavia | I will proof it | 11:26 |
| ompaul | Burgundavia, you don't have to ask twice :) | 11:26 |
| ompaul | Burgundavia, its all yours - more than likely my sentiments are too strong | 11:34 |
| Burgundavia | ok, looking | 11:35 |
| ompaul | Burgundavia, actually maybe the part Allowing other users to run sudo should be after notes | 11:35 |

| ompaul | it would be :) | 11:38 |
| Burgundavia | ompaul: your edit looks good | 11:39 |
| ompaul | Burgundavia, I think that last suggestion is important | 11:42 |
| ompaul | push everything away from the creation of a shell | 11:43 |
| ompaul | you got edit open? | 11:43 |
| Burgundavia | nope | 11:44 |
| ompaul | okay someone else had | 11:46 |
| ompaul | they did nothing | 11:46 |
| ompaul | now question | 11:46 |
| ompaul | Should I put this at after the intro to the not supported line? * Please don't suggest this to others unless you will be available 24/7 to support them if they have issues as a result of it. | 11:46 |
| ompaul | Burgundavia, or is that a bridge too far? | 11:47 |
| Burgundavia | don't suggest what? | 11:48 |
| ompaul | I'll save it you can cull it if you don't like it | 11:48 |
| ompaul | done it is all yours | 11:49 |
| Burgundavia | ok | 11:49 |
| jrib | I really don't see why sudo -i should be considered dangerous | 11:50 |
| jrib | and especially sudo -i -u username | 11:50 |
| Burgundavia | because you end up with a root shell | 11:50 |
| Burgundavia | which is a very bad thing | 11:50 |
| Burgundavia | because if you have to type sudo before anything you do, you start thinking "hmm, this is dangerous" | 11:51 |
| jrib | I never liked the "protect the user from himself" argument | 11:51 |
| ompaul | jrib, #debian beckons :-P | 11:52 |

| Burgundavia | jrib: then you seriously have never help the average user | 11:52 |
| Burgundavia | helped, rather | 11:52 |
| ompaul | jrib, you are not the target audience for this distro | 11:52 |
| jrib | well I agree there should be a strong warning, but it's not really dangerous. There is a an approriate use for it. But, I do think the 'sudo -i -u username' should be moved elsewhere since that one doesn't give you a root shell | 11:54 |

| jrib | erm, double negative there | 11:56 |
| ompaul | sorry I did not see that | 11:56 |
| === ompaul was blinded :) | ||
| ompaul | jrib, su - username works | 11:56 |
| Burgundavia | jrib: any time you end up with use root, it is dangerous | 11:57 |
| Burgundavia | s/with// | 11:58 |
| Burgundavia | best practices for Ubuntu is to use sudo before every invocation | 11:58 |
| ompaul | Burgundavia, so do we remove the become other users or do you want sudo to be there? | 11:59 |
| Burgundavia | becoming another user is nice, but make it clear that it is not recommended to do it with root | 11:59 |
| ompaul | so what I am thinking is that su exists so it should be su - username | 12:00 |
| ompaul | su is not broken it is just not for root | 12:00 |
| ompaul | su is for friends not for root :) | 12:00 |
