| H_A_N_D_S_O_M_E | hi | 02:31 |
|---|---|---|
| sakhi | Morning | 05:52 |
| inetpro | good mornings | 07:36 |
| psydroid | spreken mensen hier Nederlands of Afrikaans of alleen Engels? | 08:22 |
| superfly | psydroid: We mostly speak English, since that is the language that is common to all of us. | 08:40 |
| psydroid | superfly, it's ok, I referred someone to this channel because he wanted to practice his Afrikaans and neither of us knows of a channel with Afrikaans as its main language | 08:43 |
| Kilos | morning superfly and others | 08:47 |
| Kilos | hi psydroid | 08:47 |
| psydroid | hi Kilos | 08:48 |
| Kilos | you new? | 08:48 |
| psydroid | well, kind of but not really | 08:48 |
| Kilos | haha | 08:48 |
| Kilos | oh you not the new guy in the mailing lists | 08:49 |
| psydroid | I just joined this channel because a friend wanted to find a channel where he could practise his Afrikaans and this is the only South African channel I know, so I just wanted to see if there were any people in the channel first | 08:50 |
| psydroid | no, definitely not | 08:50 |
| superfly | hiya Kilos | 08:50 |
| Kilos | psydroid, we have an afrikaans channel but dunno how many guys have time to chat | 08:52 |
| psydroid | I'm from the Netherlands, the only thing we have in common is our time zone | 08:52 |
| Kilos | #ubuntu-afr | 08:52 |
| psydroid | Kilos, he already said to me that no one was there, so I guess he's out of luck unless you or someone else knows of another channel or server where he can practice his Afrikaans | 08:54 |
| psydroid | and I can only speak Dutch | 08:54 |
| psydroid | nor do I have the time to chat myself, really | 08:55 |
| Kilos | he must just remember everyone is at work so it all depends on workload | 08:55 |
| Kilos | your english is good | 08:55 |
| psydroid | okay, I will tell that to him when I see him again | 08:55 |
| psydroid | thanks, I've been using it for so many years that it almost feels native to me | 08:56 |
| Kilos | hehe | 08:56 |
| Kilos | maybe get him to watch some afrikaans movies if he hasnt got a bandwidth problem | 08:58 |
| Kilos | later | 09:00 |
| Kilos | psydroid, let him watch these. they are funny too | 09:23 |

| superfly | hi Guest32398 | 12:12 |
| superfly | Looks like you'll need to choose another nick ;-) | 12:12 |
| Guest32398 | howzit guys | 12:13 |
| Guest32398 | so how do i change my nickname | 12:13 |
| superfly | well, choose one, and then type "/nick <yournick>" | 12:13 |
| superfly | it'll tell you if it's already in use, and then you need to find another | 12:14 |
| Guest32398 | "/nick <lionthinker>" | 12:14 |
| Lionthinker | okay | 12:16 |
| Lionthinker | greatings guys | 12:16 |
| Lionthinker | thanks for the help and welcome | 12:16 |
| Lionthinker | is the ubuntu loco a busy one? | 12:17 |
| superfly | Lionthinker: not hugely... we have stuff going on from time to time... but it is a do-ocracy. If you want something to happen, you do it | 12:21 |
| Lionthinker | okay found a nickname, anyone still there | 12:29 |
| superfly | some of us, from time to time | 12:29 |
| Lionthinker | so how does this work, i see you set a meeting time and people get together to discuss an agenda or topic? | 12:30 |
| superfly | those are our monthly meetings | 12:31 |
| superfly | then, as I said while you were jumping in and out, it's a do-ocracy - if you want something done, do it. | 12:32 |
| Lionthinker | that sounds great | 12:33 |
| Lionthinker | apologies about that, never used this thing before | 12:33 |
| Lionthinker | tell me, how effective is brainstorm? | 12:34 |

| deegee_ | gud evening all o/ | 17:33 |
| superfly | hi deegee_ | 17:37 |
| kbmonkey | timer 20 join #ubuntu-za #crunchbang | 18:33 |
| kbmonkey | oops. I meant hello :) | 18:34 |
| Kerbero | lol | 18:37 |
| Kerbero | so what happens on that last mentioned channel? | 18:37 |
| Kilos | what you lolling at Kerbero | 18:37 |
| Kilos | what did i miss | 18:37 |
| kbmonkey | hi | 18:38 |
| Kerbero | not much | 18:38 |
| Kilos | hiya kbmonkey you well? | 18:38 |
| kbmonkey | ha ha its a linux distro channel Kerbero | 18:38 |
| Kerbero | ok | 18:38 |
| Kilos | ha hq | 18:38 |
| Kerbero | boring | 18:38 |
| Kilos | ha as well | 18:38 |
| kbmonkey | hello kilos | 18:38 |
| Kilos | kbmonkey, did you read inna mail about that lpi course | 18:39 |
| Kilos | http://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LinuxEssentials | 18:39 |
| kbmonkey | I see that now Kilos. neat | 18:40 |
| Kilos | i dunno what it is i waiting for you and nuvo to get going | 18:41 |
| kbmonkey | the LPI course requirements say you need some basic experience to start with | 18:43 |
| kbmonkey | like using a terminal, and such things | 18:43 |
| Kilos | well i can boot a pc and say sudo iftop -n | 18:43 |
| kbmonkey | this linux essentials is for such things. the basics. I dare say Kilos you know most of that already ;) | 18:43 |
| Kilos | oh is that what it is about | 18:44 |
| Kilos | then i keep waiting for you two. i started reading it again from scratch | 18:44 |
| kbmonkey | you use iftop often ey? | 18:44 |
| Kilos | all the time | 18:45 |
| kbmonkey | We can improve that for you | 18:45 |
| Kilos | how? | 18:46 |
| Kilos | i got some info from inetpro and did his commands | 18:46 |
| kbmonkey | we can tell sudo, that when you run iftop, you don't need to enter your password each time. like a special rule, an exception | 18:47 |
| Kilos | ah that would be lekker | 18:48 |
| Kilos | i wear my keyboard out with all the passwords | 18:48 |
| kbmonkey | haha! yes I do the same | 18:48 |
| Kilos | ha ha ha | 18:48 |
| Kilos | here is what i did echo -e "dns-resolution: no\nport-resolution: no\nline-display: one-line-both\nshow-totals: yes" >> ~/.iftoprc | 18:51 |
| Kilos | my iftop lost its conf file somewhere and went back to eth0 | 18:51 |
| Kilos | he helped me find ppp0 again and gave that long command | 18:51 |
| kbmonkey | lost its config? eek | 18:52 |
| Kilos | yeah weird it just stopped showing anything and by chance i saw it show eth0 one day | 18:53 |
| kbmonkey | you fixed it now | 18:53 |
| Kilos | ya he made me um | 18:53 |
| Kilos | er | 18:53 |
| Kilos | make a new conf file | 18:54 |
| Kilos | and tell it to use ppp0 | 18:54 |
| Kilos | but now its kiff again | 18:54 |
| kbmonkey | what does 'whereis iftop' say? | 18:54 |
| Kilos | anyway how are you lad | 18:54 |
| Kilos | sec i see | 18:55 |
| Kilos | /usr/sbin/iftop /usr/share/man/man8/iftop.8.gz | 18:55 |
| kbmonkey | ah good Kilos. I will email the list soon about studies. some fresh ideas | 18:55 |
| kbmonkey | you wana try to do away with your iftop password? ;) | 18:56 |
| Kilos | yes please | 18:56 |
| kbmonkey | yey :) | 18:56 |
| Kilos | huh? | 18:56 |
| Kilos | you using me as the guinnee pig | 18:57 |
| Kilos | forgot how to spell that | 18:57 |
| Kilos | Maaz, spell guinnee | 18:57 |
| Maaz | Kilos: Suggestions: Ginnee | 18:57 |
| kbmonkey | guinnea | 18:57 |
| kbmonkey | ha ha | 18:57 |
| kbmonkey | Maaz coffee on | 18:58 |
| * Maaz starts grinding coffee | 18:58 | |
| Kilos | oh ty the bot stupid | 18:58 |
| kbmonkey | he uses African spelling | 18:58 |
| Kilos | Maaz, coffee please | 18:58 |
| Maaz | Kilos: Yessir | 18:58 |
| Kilos | hehe | 18:58 |
| Kilos | lo Langjan | 18:58 |
| kbmonkey | hi Langjan | 18:59 |
| kbmonkey | no guinnee pig Kilos I do this too! | 19:00 |
| Kilos | ha ha ha | 19:00 |
| kbmonkey | okay it's easy. this line will copy your sudoers file to a backup (for safety) | 19:01 |
| kbmonkey | > sudo cp /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.bak | 19:01 |
| inetpro | good evening sirs | 19:01 |
| * kbmonkey tips hat to inetpro | 19:01 | |
| Kilos | lo inetpro | 19:01 |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for kbmonkey and Kilos! | 19:02 |
| inetpro | yikes, I just missed that nice cup o coffee from Maaz | 19:02 |
| Kilos | Cmaty | 19:02 |
| Kilos | eish | 19:02 |
| Kilos | Maaz, ty | 19:02 |
| Maaz | You are welcome Kilos | 19:03 |
| Kilos | kbmonkey, who the sudoers? | 19:03 |
| Kilos | or what? | 19:03 |
| Kilos | inetpro, gaan dit goed | 19:03 |
| inetpro | Kilos: very well thanks and you | 19:03 |
| inetpro | ? | 19:03 |
| Kilos | good ty inetpro | 19:04 |
| kbmonkey | Kilos, man sudoers says: list of which users may execute what | 19:04 |
| inetpro | kbmonkey: watch out for that > you gave through | 19:04 |
| inetpro | that is one dangerous redirector | 19:04 |
| kbmonkey | oh damn, thanks inetpro! just realized what will happen with that ha ha | 19:04 |
| Kilos | what what what | 19:05 |
| * Kilos shakes with fear | 19:05 | |
| inetpro | Kilos: that sign will start a new file without warning | 19:05 |
| inetpro | can make you loose data very quickly | 19:06 |
| Kilos | oh my goodness, how | 19:06 |
| Kilos | oh will it be making backups all the time? | 19:07 |
| inetpro | Kilos: man bash and see REDIRECTION | 19:07 |
| kbmonkey | luckily Kilos isn't running as root... I hope not! | 19:07 |
| Kilos | not now now | 19:07 |
| kbmonkey | sudo cp /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.bak | 19:07 |
| inetpro | or man sh and see Redirections | 19:07 |
| Kilos | i be this guy miles@P4:~$ | 19:07 |
| kbmonkey | ^^ that command ^^ | 19:07 |
| kbmonkey | it backs up your sudoers file | 19:08 |
| kbmonkey | then to add a new line into sudoers, run: | 19:08 |
| kbmonkey | sudo visudo | 19:08 |
| Kilos | i still dunno who the sudoers are | 19:08 |
| Kilos | just me here | 19:08 |
| kbmonkey | Kilos, sudoers is list of which users may execute what | 19:09 |
| kbmonkey | we can tell sudo to let you (and only you) run iftop (and only iftop) without asking the password | 19:09 |
| inetpro | Kilos: man sudoers | 19:10 |
| linuxhopper | or man su | 19:11 |
| inetpro | linuxhopper: and man su | 19:12 |
| inetpro | :-) | 19:12 |
| Kilos | is root not the superuser boss kinda guy here | 19:12 |
| Kilos | i have used sudo -i a coupla times to fix stuff that said i didnt have permissions | 19:12 |
| kbmonkey | exactly right Kilos | 19:13 |
| Kilos | lo linuxhopper | 19:13 |
| kbmonkey | so is your sudoers backed up Kilos? I'll tell you next step when it is | 19:13 |
| inetpro | Kilos: yep, root is the boss, but sudo allows you execute a command as somebody else and some of the permissions amongst other things are configured in the sudoers file | 19:13 |
| Kilos | must be i did what you said | 19:13 |
| linuxhopper | yes, but still need to put in password. if you enter once in a setion then you dont need to again | 19:14 |
| linuxhopper | root=boss su=adim | 19:14 |
| kbmonkey | depends linuxhopper. some setups have a timeout/expiry on authentication, and when you close the terminal session | 19:14 |
| kbmonkey | good Kilos! no run "sudo visudo" | 19:15 |
| Kilos | i have | 19:15 |
| kbmonkey | now be careful not to change anything! | 19:15 |
| kbmonkey | only Add a new line at the bottom | 19:16 |
| kbmonkey | add this: "miles ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/iftop" | 19:16 |
| Kilos | is that the blue one with /etc/sudoers at the top | 19:16 |
| kbmonkey | yes that sounds right | 19:16 |
| Kilos | with the "" goodies | 19:17 |
| Kilos | ? | 19:17 |
| kbmonkey | no | 19:17 |
| Kilos | no\ | 19:17 |
| Kilos | haha | 19:17 |
| kbmonkey | everything inside the quotes | 19:17 |
| Kilos | ok now file save? | 19:18 |
| kbmonkey | then press Ctrl+X, and Y to save | 19:18 |
| Kilos | the line i added is gone after that | 19:19 |
| kbmonkey | gone? what do you mean gone? | 19:20 |
| Kilos | %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL | 19:20 |
| Kilos | last line | 19:20 |
| Kilos | the added line disappeared | 19:20 |
| Kilos | is gone the wrong word | 19:20 |
| kbmonkey | must've pressed the wrong key or reverted changes | 19:20 |
| Kilos | disappeared missing | 19:21 |
| Kilos | ok sec i try again | 19:21 |
| kbmonkey | Kilos, what editor is that? | 19:21 |
| kbmonkey | pico? | 19:21 |
| Kilos | i dunno, isnt gedit the default here | 19:22 |
| kbmonkey | Xtrl+X obviously cuts the line. | 19:22 |
| kbmonkey | no, mine is pico L:p | 19:22 |
| kbmonkey | anyways, re-add that last line and save it (however your editor saves) | 19:22 |
| Kilos | gotta find out how first | 19:23 |
| Kilos | no save in file | 19:23 |
| Kilos | maybe i shoulda opened it with sudo gedit /etc/sudoers hey? | 19:24 |
| kbmonkey | what does that window title say? | 19:24 |
| kbmonkey | no Kilos, you have to use visudo unfortunately | 19:24 |
| Langjan | Hi kilos and kbmonkey, are you well? | 19:25 |
| Kilos | # This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root. | 19:25 |
| kbmonkey | told you ;) | 19:25 |
| Kilos | i did that command to get that blue page | 19:25 |
| Kilos | yip ty Langjan and you? | 19:25 |
| kbmonkey | good Langjan :] | 19:25 |
| kbmonkey | lol Kilos! all we want to do is add one new line of text :D | 19:26 |
| Kilos | ya i can add it but cannot save it | 19:26 |
| kbmonkey | run visudo again. what does that window title say? and what does the first line inside the window say? | 19:26 |
| Kilos | eish it tells me its busy try again later | 19:28 |
| Kilos | grrr | 19:28 |
| kbmonkey | your pc is haunted! | 19:28 |
| kbmonkey | he he | 19:28 |
| Kilos | the first line was /etc/visudolol | 19:29 |
| Kilos | gonna have to reboot the swine | 19:30 |
| Kilos | got everything closed but it still says its busy | 19:30 |
| Kilos | brb | 19:31 |
| * inetpro falling asleep | 19:33 | |
| inetpro | good night everyone | 19:33 |
| Kilos | night inetpro | 19:33 |
| Kilos | sleep lekker | 19:33 |
| Kilos | kbmonkey, must i do visudo from root | 19:34 |
| kbmonkey | nite :) | 19:34 |
| linuxhopper | cant you just vi | 19:34 |
| Kilos | i try | 19:35 |
| kbmonkey | no, sudoers requires you to use the visudo command | 19:35 |
| kbmonkey | it's safer | 19:35 |
| linuxhopper | ok i just vi or vim | 19:35 |
| Kilos | so its sudo visudo? | 19:35 |
| kbmonkey | yes Kilos, run sudo visudo | 19:36 |
| kbmonkey | sudo and visudo are two different commands | 19:36 |
| kbmonkey | visudo is a program to edit the sudoers file | 19:36 |
| Kilos | first line | 19:36 |
| Kilos | # /etc/sudoers | 19:36 |
| kbmonkey | okay. now what do you read *above* that | 19:37 |
| linuxhopper | vi is to edit any txt file, sorry came in to this too late | 19:37 |
| Kilos | nothing above that | 19:37 |
| kbmonkey | I like vi linuxhopper :) | 19:37 |
| kbmonkey | do you know which editor it is Kilos? what does your window title read? "gnome-terminal"? | 19:38 |
| kbmonkey | wow this is hard | 19:39 |
| Kilos | it doesnt say anything kbmonkey | 19:39 |
| linuxhopper | sorry but would like to know why you busy with sudoers file | 19:39 |
| Kilos | miles@p4~ | 19:39 |
| kbmonkey | and at the bottom of the window? | 19:39 |
| Kilos | Line=28 Col=1 Sz:567 Ch:EOF IA "sudoers.tmp" Offs:567 (100%) | 19:40 |
| Kilos | haha | 19:40 |
| kbmonkey | we want to add a line to sudoers linuxhopper. so that kilos can run iftop without the password each time. he runs it often. | 19:40 |
| kbmonkey | ah okay, now which editor is that? 100 points anyone? | 19:41 |
| Kilos | lol | 19:41 |
| linuxhopper | ok check may permission on that file , like -a | 19:41 |
| kbmonkey | that is vi Kilos | 19:41 |
| kbmonkey | no its not, arg I cant say :( | 19:42 |
| linuxhopper | cant you read write and exicute on it, sometimes it will not give error just do notting | 19:42 |
| kbmonkey | I can't believe we can't get past a text editor | 19:42 |
| kbmonkey | lol! maybe it's not meant to be today :) | 19:43 |
| linuxhopper | cd to file and ls -li to see permission " i think" | 19:44 |
| kbmonkey | we need to figure out what text editor Kilos is using linuxhopper, so we know how to save the changes | 19:44 |
| linuxhopper | ok................. | 19:45 |
| Kilos | if i control+x when i type the y my pasted line disappears | 19:45 |
| kbmonkey | okay hang on Kilos | 19:46 |
| Kilos | with control+x it brings up a flashing line with save etc in it | 19:46 |
| linuxhopper | maybe as i said he has permission to read and wire but not save on that file, maybe. he did vi so he must be useing vim.... right? | 19:47 |
| Kilos | oh my | 19:47 |
| Kilos | whole page disappeared and terminal says | 19:47 |
| Kilos | >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 27 <<< | 19:48 |
| Kilos | What now? | 19:48 |
| Kilos | hehe | 19:48 |
| kbmonkey | that's fine. visudo does syntax checking and wont save on this error | 19:48 |
| kbmonkey | that's why we don't edit sudoers directly with gedit ;() | 19:48 |
| linuxhopper | maybe :wq in vim to sve and quit? | 19:49 |
| kbmonkey | I'm confused why your 'line disappears' Kilos. I think let us hang off this a while until we can figure out some basics | 19:49 |
| Kilos | hey | 19:50 |
| Kilos | hey | 19:50 |
| Kilos | its saved | 19:50 |
| kbmonkey | wow | 19:51 |
| Kilos | you gotta control +x then y on its own without control+x | 19:51 |
| Kilos | sigh | 19:51 |
| kbmonkey | um.. yes :p | 19:51 |
| kbmonkey | ha ha | 19:51 |
| Kilos | i was holding cntrl+x and typing y | 19:51 |
| kbmonkey | so it was nano ^^ | 19:51 |
| kbmonkey | you double-jointed? | 19:51 |
| Kilos | ha ha ha | 19:52 |
| kbmonkey | okay well that is it | 19:52 |
| Kilos | no man ctrl+x left hand and y with right hand | 19:52 |
| Kilos | ty very much sorry for the hassles | 19:52 |
| Kilos | hehe | 19:53 |
| Kilos | what a twit i be at times | 19:53 |
| kbmonkey | okay well now, whenever you run sudo iftop, it should carry on | 19:53 |
| kbmonkey | hope that helps | 19:53 |
| Kilos | linuxhopper, i actually started with vim about a year ago but forgot it all by now | 19:53 |
| kbmonkey | you can actually change the default visudo editor, but that is another story and let's not go there today ;) | 19:54 |
| Kilos | ty kbmonkey you a handy dude to have around | 19:54 |
| kbmonkey | yw Kilos! | 19:55 |
| * kbmonkey says a silent prayer he didn't break Kilos's machine | 19:55 | |
