| meLon | I have a laptop running ubuntu-server. echo $TERM shows 'linux'. Whenever I ssh into my developing server and open a file with vim, it looks HORRIBLE. I noticed that on the server, it says my term is 'xterm' and not 'xterm-color'. How can I set my laptop up so that it uses xterm-color so that when I ssh into another box it will also use xterm-color? | 00:10 |

| qman__ | meLon, the most likely problem is that you have the default vim, which is a reduced feature set vim and is terrible | 01:11 |
| qman__ | apt-get install vim-nox to get the full version | 01:12 |
| lau | I am in a fresh lucid install with python-setuptools , pip and virtualenv installed | 01:14 |
| lau | in the virtualenv I just created I cannot pip install pysqlite | 01:14 |
| lau | it returns unable to execute gcc: No such file or directory | 01:15 |
| lau | do I need to install gcc to make it work ? (I am not feeling comfortable installing gcc on a server) | 01:16 |
| qman__ | lau, I don't know anything about pip, but from that error message it would appear so | 01:35 |
| qman__ | the metapackage 'build-essential' is the best way to install gcc and the things you probably need to go with it, if you decide to do that | 01:36 |
| qman__ | FWIW I avoid sqlite like the plague | 01:38 |
| qman__ | less functional, less stable, less secure SQL alternative that doesn't even manage its original purpose of being fast | 01:41 |
| lau | qman__: thx , I installed build-essential and other *-dev system packages | 01:59 |
| lau | is it state of the art to install *-dev package on a prod server ? | 02:00 |
| smoser | http://paste.ubuntu.com/635485/ | 02:09 |
| qman__ | lau, far from it, but lots of software people run production can have strange requirements | 02:10 |
| qman__ | what's ideal and what people actually do are often very, very different things | 02:10 |
| qman__ | having compilers and -dev packages aren't a risk in and of themselves, it's more of a compound thing | 02:11 |
| qman__ | arbitrary code execution or unprivileged shells plus compilers and dev packages can have nastier results than just the former | 02:11 |
| qman__ | at my day job, the web server is plesk on windows 2003, and I can't tell you the last time it's been patched | 02:13 |
| qman__ | you're far better off than 95% | 02:14 |

| twb | kthomas_vh: your super key is stuck down | 06:12 |
| twb | kthomas_vh: this is common in remote desktop cases; just close your RDP client and reopen it | 06:13 |
| kthomas_vh | no, it's a problem with RDP, evidently :) | 06:13 |
| kthomas_vh | it's persistent :| | 06:13 |
| twb | kthomas_vh: what happens is you hit, say, Alt+Tab to switch away from the RDP window, and the remote guest sees the Alt key go down, but not go up | 06:13 |
| twb | Clearly you have done the same thing for some other chord than Alt+Tab, one that includes Super | 06:13 |
| kthomas_vh | it's 100% persistent | 06:13 |
| twb | kthomas_vh: I guess it's stuck down on the remote end then | 06:14 |
| twb | Not much you can do about it other than maybe spoof XTEST events through to the client... | 06:14 |
| kthomas_vh | hmm | 06:14 |
| twb | And just mashing modifiers, of course, sometimes that fixes it | 06:14 |
| kthomas_vh | the solution above doesn't seem to work | 06:14 |
| twb | Install xautomation and try the xte program as an easy way to send events | 06:15 |
| twb | Dunno if it can spoof just the key up event... | 06:15 |

| RoAkSoAx | smoser: done | 16:07 |
| RoAkSoAx | smoser: it is fixed now | 16:07 |
| RoAkSoAx | smoser: add this to your profile script: [ "parent", "<any-parent-distro-you-have-available>" ], | 16:08 |
| smoser | hm.. | 16:11 |
| RoAkSoAx | smoser: or a null profile I guess | 16:12 |
| smoser | RoAkSoAx, how did you figure that out? | 16:13 |
| RoAkSoAx | smoser: looking at the other profiles.. I just figured that either distribution or parent profile are missing. and it worked specifying the parent | 16:14 |
| RoAkSoAx | smoser: so it is either one of those | 16:14 |
| RoAkSoAx | smoser: ok so [ "parent", "testing-mini-x86_64" ] is for a parent profile, and [ "distro", "testing-mini-x86_64" ] for a distro it belongs too | 16:16 |
| RoAkSoAx | smoser: both can be used at the same time, but when importing isos with cobbler, it creates a profile for a distro | 16:16 |
| RoAkSoAx | instead of a subprofile of a parent profile | 16:16 |
| RoAkSoAx | so either one of them can be used to not fail | 16:16 |
| RoAkSoAx | or both | 16:16 |
| smoser | thank you RoAkSoAx | 16:24 |
