kodezgreetings everyone08:17
kodezhow can i write a program in python that can manage the screen log on or off through network using python programming language?08:18
kodezwhich book is relevant to study about controlling the screen. something like Ctrl + Alt + L but happening in the source code?08:24
Kiloshi kodez 08:28
Kiloslater guys08:28
kodezhi kilos08:29
zerefhmmmm08:42
zerefkodez: python socket programming08:43
kodezzeref: where can I study more about that?08:43
kodezzeref: i want to develop a program that manages kiosk terminals08:44
zerefi've not found a book about python sockets, but there are many tutorials online08:45
zerefkiosk terminals???08:46
zereflemme google that08:46
zerefhmmm08:49
kodezzeref: ty08:52
kodezzeref: is writting a GUI going to solve blocking a person accessing the kiosk terminal without permission?08:53
kodezzeref: a conditional GUI that hides if the username and password is correct?08:56
zerefi'd first write a text based one, then if it works, add a GUI08:57
kodezzeref: i am failing to follow you.08:58
zereffor the program, first code it without a GUI, test it out, if it works then you can add a GUI09:00
kodezzeref: k09:01
zereffor the GUI are you planning to us wxwidgets ot qt?09:02
zeref*use *or09:03
kbmonkeyhappy day you geeks09:13
kbmonkeyMaaz: coffee on09:13
* Maaz puts the kettle on09:13
kodezzeref: nothing specific at the moment09:16
MaazCoffee's ready for kbmonkey!09:17
Kilossjoe inetpro lyk of daar n groot storm van jhb af na ons kom14:43
Kiloshi bk14:44
Kilosgrr14:44
Kiloshi kbmonkey 14:44
Kilosbbl14:46
KilosThis problem report is damaged and cannot be processed.15:02
KilosValueError('need more than 1 value to unpack',)15:02
Kilosxubuntu xchat sucks some15:02
Kilosthe preferences alert options dont work\15:03
Kilosgrrr15:03
kbmonkeyhi Kilos 15:18
kbmonkeyshame your xchat is borked? :p15:19
Kilosno it works but cant get bloeps going on messages to me15:20
Kilosso gotta keep looking here if there any messages15:21
Kilosgrrrr15:21
kbmonkeybeeps?15:22
kbmonkeyha ha. yes my irssi doesnt bloep either15:22
Kilosand xubuntu comes with xchat as default 15:22
dLimit /set bell_beeps on15:22
Kilosand i run a command to try make iftop see ppp0 and whole pc goes slow15:22
Kilosgrrr15:22
Kilosya beeps15:23
dLimitthen /set beep_msg_level msg notice hilight15:23
kbmonkeyyes iftop is a admin tool, not meant for everyday use15:23
KilosdLimit, must i do that here or in the terminal15:23
kbmonkeyunless you troubleshoot a network15:23
dLimitNo in irssi15:23
dLimitOh wait its /set beep_msg_level msgs notice hilight15:24
kbmonkeyah, thanks dLimit :)15:24
dLimitAnd make sure kernel module pcspkr is loaded15:25
kbmonkeyi wrote a script to monitor messages and print them to a conky output. but that got annoying.15:25
dLimitThere is a way to play a sound through default alsa sound card but I forgot how that is done15:25
kbmonkeympg12315:26
kbmonkeyhehe15:26
kbmonkeyor just play15:26
Kilosthis xchat gives you the option to use alsa or pulse but neither work15:27
Kilosbut pidgin works kiff15:27
kbmonkeydoesnt each app have it's own volume level?15:28
kbmonkeyin xubuntu i mean? if it uses pulse...? 15:28
kbmonkeyjust guessing here, not too familiar with what xubuntu uses15:28
Kilosin settings preferences you get options to beep in alerts and flash icons but they dont work even though xchat looks the same15:30
kbmonkeythose are window manager signals. perhaps xchat has gnome support but not kde15:33
kbmonkeydoes xchat come on xubuntu by default or is there another irc client it uses?15:33
kbmonkeyi almost imagine there is a kde one..15:34
Kiloskbmonkey, ya default15:34
Kilosquassel is the kde one15:35
Kilosxchat and pidgin are default on xubuntu15:37
kbmonkeyquassel will probably give you proper sound+notifications15:37
Kilosmany many megs data to get quassel15:37
Kiloslotsa kde stuff15:37
kbmonkeybut xubuntu has kde and quassel already??15:40
kbmonkeyim confused Kilos :)15:41
Kilosno15:41
Kilosxfce15:41

magespawnWhat are you still fighting with?19:00
Kilosstupid things like no sound in xchat19:01
Kilosand it shows 2 homes and archives but they arent the same19:01
Kilosand synaptic doesnt see whats in archives copied there from cli19:02
Kilosso wants to download again what you already have19:02
Kilosalso i use same commands that i used for maverick to get iftop to use ppp0 not eth0 and pc goes slow19:03
Kilosgrrr19:03
Kilosif it wasnt for data use everytime i would have tried the alternate cd by now19:04
