superfly:-P06:34
magespawnahhj that is always good, stops one from being bored06:41
magespawnlearning how to use a server today through06:41
magespawnssh06:41
=== sdehaan_ is now known as sdehaan
magespawnhi back again06:57
magespawnbetter 07:01
meesterarendhey07:03
superflyhi meesterarend, wb magespawn07:03
meesterarendrather quiet here :)07:03
magespawngot the ssh installed now just need to set up another user on the host for my laptop07:04
superflynot much goes on early in the day... the evenings are usually busier07:04
meesterarendeveryone working?07:04
superflymagespawn: have you set up SSH keypairs?07:04
magespawnnot yet no07:04
meesterarendi know superfly07:04
magespawnstill reading on the net07:05
superflymagespawn: ssh-keygen -t dsa07:06
superflythen ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub user@remote-host07:07
superflyif you're just using it on internal domains, you can skip the passphrase (make it empty) and then you have a password-less login to your server07:07
magespawnmade a mistake just did ssh 192.168.1.xxx and not ssh username@192.168.1.xxx07:08
magespawnthe first one uses the userna,e that I am logged into the laptop with07:08
magespawnusername07:09
magespawndo i do the key gen from the client07:09
superflyyes07:09
magespawni want to have a passphrase then i can ty it from outside my network using dyndns07:10
superflymagespawn: don't forget http://xkcd.com/936/07:11
superflyphew, I was about to give him a mouthful07:12
magespawnyup have read that one before07:14
magespawnsuperfly: apparently you can do : ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 4096 to increase the amount of bits 07:34
superflyindeed07:34
magespawn what is the differnce between dsa and rsa in the above command?07:35
magespawnubuntu wiki page has it as rsa.07:36
superflythey are two different of algorithms07:36
magespawni see for the encryption 07:36
superflyrsa is the more closed of the two07:36
magespawnahh07:36
superflythere used to be the threat of litigation, but the people who own RSA recently said that they won't sue anyone, or something like that07:36
superflyDSA is the "open source" RSA07:37
magespawninterestingly DSA is patented but that patent has been made availble worldwide royalty free07:38
superflyyeah, that's the one07:39
magespawngot this back : DSA keys must be 1024 bits07:42
magespawnaccording to the ssh-keygen manpage DSA can only be 102407:53
magespawnsuperfly have done the keygen using rsa at 4096, now to setup dyndns08:04

SquirmI have access to uncap myself though, but if I did without the admin knowing, he might not like me10:00
Kiloseveryone has to start somewhere10:00

Kilosjust remember knowlege is power10:00
magespawnbest way to do it10:00
Squirmand now I have uncapped10:00

KilosSquirm, mainly windows stuff you gotta do?10:01
SquirmKilos: unfortunately so10:01
Squirmbut we're installing mint on older machines10:01
Kiloseish, sympathies10:01
Squirmlooking into getting mint to authenticate with Active Directory, so we can roll those out on our domain10:02
Kilosthats a good start10:02
Squirmthat's why my boss gave me 8Gb of RAM, so I could run a few VM's10:02
Kiloswow thats nice10:02
Squirmmy office pc, 2.6GHz Core i5, 8Gb of RAM, 500Gb hdd10:03
Kiloslovely10:03
Squirmwell, 4Gb now, need to put in the 2*4Gb now10:03
Squirmbbiab10:03
magespawnkilos my usage peaked last month at 25GB, insane10:05
Kiloswow did you download lotsa iso's or is it peeps with movies etc?10:05
magespawnnot too sure did take two iso last month CentOS and Windows Developer10:06
Kilosthats under 2g10:07

Squirm8Gb ram10:14
Squirm^^10:14
Kilosram is so important10:14
Squirminded10:30
Kiloseish tried to reinstall apparmor and synaptic said it isnt authenticated then froze the pc10:30
Kiloshow can something in the repos not be authenticated10:40
Kilosis it my synaptic gone mad10:40
magespawnmaybe just update first10:42
magespawnsudo apt-get update10:42
Kilosoh forgot that10:42
Kiloscant do that got 200m of updates pending10:42
magespawnthere is a way to check the updates just for tha package, hold on10:43
Kilosi did apt-get-update yesterday10:43
Kilosits the upgrade i cant do10:43
Kilosmaybe the prob is that synaptic sees the update but without upgrading it cant continue10:44
magespawnif you want to just do apparmor try apt-get install apparmor10:45
Kilosok will try ty10:46
Kilosno man10:46
magespawnthat should update to the latest10:46
Kilosapt-get will say its already installed10:46
Kilosaptitude can do a reinstall and does the upgrading10:46
Kilosdont you use aptitude magespawn 10:47
Kilosi think apt-get needs --reinstall at the end10:48
magespawnjust been getting used to using comman line on the server i just set up10:51
magespawni get most of the info from the web10:51
Kilosoh dont they have aptitude10:51
Kilosfirst thing i do onna new install is install aptitude10:52
magespawnnot sure all the website that i saw were using apt-get10:52
Kilosyeah it seems inetpro and superfly know better10:53
Kilosi like aptitude10:53
magespawnthey have more experience 10:53
inetprohuh?10:53
Kilosinetpro, aptitude vs apt-get10:54
nlsthznapt-get has super cow powers10:54
* inetpro scrolls up a few meters to read more10:54
Kiloslol10:54
Kilosaptitude worked with apparmor magespawn 10:55
Kilosits my synaptic thats doff10:55
* inetpro prefers the all in one functionalities in aptitude10:57
Kilosaptitude rocks10:58
magespawnfrom what i have just read on the net aptitude is a more complete one stop manager10:58
inetprojust sad that it's not installed by default10:58
inetproit's always the first thing I install10:58
Kilosonly one later releases you have to manually install it10:58
Kiloshmm i type to slow10:59
