| silvertip257 | Good evening! I am looking to create a gfxboot theme (different than grub splashes), but have not found much information in my searches. I did run across Kevin's post to the mailinglist back in 2008. | 00:43 |
|---|---|---|
| MutantTurkey | gfxboot theme. hmmm | 01:01 |
| MutantTurkey | silvertip257: http://www.andreas-loibl.de/content/linux/tutorials/grub-gfxboot/index.html german? | 01:03 |
| MutantTurkey | google translate is quite effective | 01:03 |
| silvertip257 | Indeed - I have that one open in Chromium with translate ... not sure where the other information about packaging the theme is ... maybe in his bash script | 01:03 |
| MutantTurkey | silvertip257: sorry :/ maybe | 01:04 |
| MutantTurkey | i gotta split, go help my dad work a dvd player >.> | 01:04 |
| silvertip257 | ah no - the bash script is creating an ISO :) | 01:04 |
| silvertip257 | thanks MutantTurkey | 01:05 |
| MutantTurkey | sorry back | 01:10 |
| MutantTurkey | silvertip257: did you see this one? http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Gfxboot#Modifying_the_boot_screen | 01:13 |
| silvertip257 | MutantTurkey: ah ... there's more info in that one! But how to create that CPIO "message" file?!? :) | 01:14 |
| MutantTurkey | silvertip257: i have never used gfxboot :p lol i don't even use ubuntu :/ i just sit in here because i like ChinnoDog | 01:16 |
| silvertip257 | >:) I finally got the search terms right and have my answer! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=342099 ... simple really | 01:16 |
| silvertip257 | haha MutantTurkey - I'm a distro hopper that sticks with Ubuntu LTS for those I care about! haha | 01:17 |
| MutantTurkey | silvertip257: yes ArchLinux for me these days, i still have debian running on a server but thats about it | 01:18 |
| silvertip257 | I installed Arch a few months back and have been toying around with some Debian netinstalls right now (that's what this gfxboot will be for) | 01:18 |
| MutantTurkey | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208855 | 01:19 |
| MutantTurkey | Archlinux is my favorite rolling release, debian is good for servers (until the Archlinux server project becomes stable) | 01:19 |
| silvertip257 | rolling release is great for the desktop in my opinion | 01:19 |
| silvertip257 | Debian, RHEL/CentOS, and even SUSE for servers :) | 01:20 |
| MutantTurkey | rolling release for the win ( even though all our packages broke when we updated libjpeg xD | 01:20 |
| silvertip257 | MutantTurkey: thanks for the last link (208855 - good stuff) | 01:20 |
| MutantTurkey | yessir, good luck with it and lemmie know how it goes. i must be getting off and pretending to accomplish something | 01:21 |
| silvertip257 | aha more good stuff (this time from Mandriva forums) - http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?/topic/42107-change-the-grub-menu-pic-with-gfxboot/ | 01:22 |
| silvertip257 | thanks again MutantTurkey | 01:22 |
| MutantTurkey | yep | 01:22 |

| andrew | What's the prefered method for ssh keys, use a uniq one per system you use, or copy the private key onto each system you use, etc? | 21:43 |
| ChinnoDog | meaning you would copy the private key so you didn't have to ssh-copy-id on all the existing systems? | 21:44 |
| andrew | I don't know what I mean, I need to sort out my understanding of ssh key usage and start following some sort of plan so I don't have to keep using password auth all the time | 21:46 |
| ChinnoDog | and here I thought I was the only one that was too lazy to figure out how to do that for so long. haha | 21:47 |
| andrew | pleia2: bts3685|1ps ^ | 21:51 |
| ChinnoDog | I don't ssh into enough systems for ssh-copy-id to be a pita yet | 21:52 |
| andrew | I've set it up on a one client to one server basis, but when I might ssh from my desktop, or my laptop, or my .... | 21:53 |
| ChinnoDog | phone? | 21:53 |
| ChinnoDog | What if your phone is stolen? | 21:53 |
| ChinnoDog | I guess regardless of whether you are sharing the private key you can delete the public key on the servers and generate a new key pair on your client. | 21:55 |
