ChesamoHello, Jick01:54
JickI was trying to ask a question in the main #ubuntu channel but its like watching nascar or something in there. My question was quickly drowned out. :(01:55
pedro3005Here, tumbleweed often rolls by01:56
ChesamoHeh. What can we do for you?01:56
JickI was just trying to figure out how to remove the Leave Message option from the lock screen. I found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=655475 but it seems that solution is no longer valid because the file that poster mentions doesn't even exist on my system. I have a fresh install of 10.04 on here.01:58
ChesamoHm....02:01

mohi1Jick, is there any file named lock-dialog-default.glade?02:15

Jickfor me that folder seems to contain the screensaver executables and nothing else.02:16
mohi1ok02:16
mohi1Jick, /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-preferences is existing??02:19
Jicklooks like I have it. looks like its an executable.02:20

tgpraveenif I want to block access to some site eg google.com then such a thing can't be achieved using a firewall right?20:09
tgpraveenam I right in understanding that firewall controls what external sites can acess my pc but not what sites can be accessed from my pc20:09
nigelbnot external "sites" but external locations20:11
nigelbyou set wat ips can access your computer20:11
tgpraveennigelb: so what is the answer to my original question can it be done by using a firewall?20:15
nigelbtgpraveen: your question was "if you were right in thinking it can't be controlled by firewall," and I think you're right.20:19
tgpraveennigelb: so just to understand you right I can't block access to a site/ip using a firewall20:20
tgpraveenI would need a proxy server with some filtering set up?20:21
nigelbI believe so, but I'm not so sure, but if you want to set that up, I can link to some blogposts that may help20:21
nigelbsomone on the team had written that stuff quite recently20:21
nigelbwell, not someone, bodhi had written :)20:22
nigelbtgpraveen: http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/how-to-transparent-proxy/ might help :)20:23
tgpraveennigelb: thanks for link and time20:29
