[00:43] <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.
[01:01] <MutantTurkey> gfxboot theme. hmmm
[01:03] <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
[01:04] <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 :)
[01:05] <silvertip257> thanks MutantTurkey
[01:10] <MutantTurkey> sorry back
[01:13] <MutantTurkey> silvertip257: did you see this one? http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Gfxboot#Modifying_the_boot_screen
[01:14] <silvertip257> MutantTurkey: ah ... there's more info in that one!  But how to create that CPIO "message" file?!? :)
[01:16] <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
[01:17] <silvertip257> haha MutantTurkey - I'm a distro hopper that sticks with Ubuntu LTS for those I care about!  haha
[01:18] <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)
[01:19] <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
[01:20] <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)
[01:21] <MutantTurkey> yessir, good luck with it and lemmie know how it goes. i must be getting off and pretending to accomplish something
[01:22] <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

[20:16] <andrew> jthan: I wasn't paying attention to IRC on christmas
[20:16] <andrew> (much)
[20:16] <andrew> http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/esgod/iama_windows_user_that_successfully_waited_for_a/
[20:16] <jthan> It was today
[20:16] <jthan> 14:03 < ChinnoDog> @seen PennBot
[20:16] <andrew> or today, but the log shows that pennbot quit on christmas
[20:16] <jthan> Well yes.
[20:17] <andrew> I'
[20:17] <andrew> I've delt with internet downtime on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Today
[20:17] <pleia2> pennbot went crazy on christmas and ate lots of memory, so oom-killer got it
[20:17] <andrew> W/Th/M/T: Work, T1 issues, just fixed midday today
[20:18] <pleia2> I can restart it if you want
[20:18] <jthan> pleia2: idk.. I'm kind of mad at him
[20:18] <andrew> S/Su: Dad's work/grandparent's house (same connection...) router put in place by the Voip provider acted up (and/or comcast's modem)
[20:19] <andrew> In other news, I learned that the router the voip provider put in place runs OpenWRT
[20:19] <ChinnoDog> Pennbot went crazy on Christmas? I guess Christmas can do that to you...
[20:19] <JonathanD> santa gave pennbot coal.
[20:20] <ChinnoDog> he probably OD'd on christmas cookies.
[21:43] <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?
[21:44] <ChinnoDog> meaning you would copy the private key so you didn't have to ssh-copy-id on all the existing systems?
[21:46] <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
[21:47] <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
[21:51] <andrew> pleia2: bts3685|1ps ^
[21:52] <ChinnoDog> I don't ssh into enough systems for ssh-copy-id to be a pita yet
[21:53] <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?
[21:55] <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.
