[01:39] bkerensa, your bike light article was interesting. [01:39] I think im gonna comment about stoplights on it. [01:44] philipballew_: thank you! [01:50] pleia2, I do what I can :) === Faqtotum is now known as DonkeyHotei [16:35] pleia2, i dont have any channel ops here so I cant ever update the meeting times correct? [22:12] pleia2, Can I ask you a quick networking question? [22:14] philipballew_: gave philipballew ops here so you can /msg chanserv topic [22:14] and sure [22:14] alright, I will change the topic soon [22:15] would uninstalling network manager in xubuntu and setting up a static ip the normal way cause any problems [22:15] "it should be fine" [22:15] I have the root account enabled and just a regular non sudo account for everything else [22:15] All im setting up my laptop here to do it run a firefox browser [22:16] removing any defaults can cause weirdness (especially on upgrade if it wants to reinstall it randomly), but generally I haven't had problems really [22:16] okay. and having the root acount is fine that way? [22:16] ubuntu isn't built around a security model where the root account is enabled, so it's always going to be risky [22:17] might want to disable login via root in /etc/ssh/sshd.conf [22:17] er, /etc/ssh/sshd_config [22:17] PermitRootLogin No [22:17] ssh isnt installed. So I think that would be okay [22:17] oh ok :) [22:18] I was gonna install debian, but I decided I wanted actual firefox [22:18] hah [22:18] call me crazy :) [22:23] Youa re crazy [22:25] * Darkwing rubs eyes [22:29] * philipballew_ doesnt try, it comes naturally [22:30] It's an innate skill. === Faqtotum is now known as DonkeyHotei [22:32] hehehe [22:32] * Darkwing sighs [22:35] ?
