[00:43] 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] gfxboot theme. hmmm [01:03] silvertip257: http://www.andreas-loibl.de/content/linux/tutorials/grub-gfxboot/index.html german? [01:03] google translate is quite effective [01:03] 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] silvertip257: sorry :/ maybe [01:04] i gotta split, go help my dad work a dvd player >.> [01:04] ah no - the bash script is creating an ISO :) [01:05] thanks MutantTurkey [01:10] sorry back [01:13] silvertip257: did you see this one? http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Gfxboot#Modifying_the_boot_screen [01:14] MutantTurkey: ah ... there's more info in that one! But how to create that CPIO "message" file?!? :) [01:16] 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] >:) I finally got the search terms right and have my answer! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=342099 ... simple really [01:17] haha MutantTurkey - I'm a distro hopper that sticks with Ubuntu LTS for those I care about! haha [01:18] silvertip257: yes ArchLinux for me these days, i still have debian running on a server but thats about it [01:18] 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] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208855 [01:19] Archlinux is my favorite rolling release, debian is good for servers (until the Archlinux server project becomes stable) [01:19] rolling release is great for the desktop in my opinion [01:20] Debian, RHEL/CentOS, and even SUSE for servers :) [01:20] rolling release for the win ( even though all our packages broke when we updated libjpeg xD [01:20] MutantTurkey: thanks for the last link (208855 - good stuff) [01:21] yessir, good luck with it and lemmie know how it goes. i must be getting off and pretending to accomplish something [01:22] 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] thanks again MutantTurkey [01:22] yep === MutantTurkey is now known as turkeytron [02:53] fire up the turkeytron and... what does that do?

[20:17] I' [20:17] I've delt with internet downtime on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Today [20:17] pennbot went crazy on christmas and ate lots of memory, so oom-killer got it [20:17] W/Th/M/T: Work, T1 issues, just fixed midday today [20:18] I can restart it if you want [20:18] pleia2: idk.. I'm kind of mad at him [20:18] 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] In other news, I learned that the router the voip provider put in place runs OpenWRT [20:19] Pennbot went crazy on Christmas? I guess Christmas can do that to you... [20:19] santa gave pennbot coal. [20:20] he probably OD'd on christmas cookies. === jackson_ is now known as jackson [21:43] 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] meaning you would copy the private key so you didn't have to ssh-copy-id on all the existing systems? [21:46] 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] 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] pleia2: bts3685|1ps ^ [21:52] I don't ssh into enough systems for ssh-copy-id to be a pita yet [21:53] 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] phone? [21:53] What if your phone is stolen? [21:55] 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.
