ryiterhello07:26
ryiteranyone ?07:26
MartijnVdShi07:26
MartijnVdS!ask07:26
lubotu3Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience07:26
ryiteris it possible to do su - user -p  password in online?07:26
ryiterin one line07:27
ryiteranyone there ?07:29
MartijnVdSryiter: I don't know what you mean?07:30
MartijnVdS!xy07:30
lubotu3The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned.07:30
MooDooMartijnVdS: he just wants to run su as a specific user and it ask for the password.07:30
ryiteri simply would like to change to an other user07:30
MartijnVdSMooDoo: but online?07:30
ryiternot online07:31
MooDooin one line.07:31
ryiterin one line07:31
MartijnVdSah07:31
MooDooMartijnVdS: :p07:31
ryitermeans i would like to su  to an other user07:31
MartijnVdSryiter: su - user07:31
ryiterwithout using password07:31
MartijnVdSit'll ask for the password07:31
MartijnVdSotherwise you're going to have to use sudo07:31
ryiterwell i don't want that it ask me for password07:31
MartijnVdSyou can configure sudo to allow that07:31
ryiterthat's why i said i would like to put the password like that su - user -p  password07:32
MartijnVdSyou could probably do it with su and PAM configuration, but that's going to be hard & a lot of work & break every other upgrade07:32
MartijnVdSryiter: su doesn't allow the password on the command line, because of security issues (other users could see it using 'ps')07:32
ryiteri m looking for a command in one line07:32
MartijnVdSryiter: "sudo -u user -s -H" or "sudo -u user -i", probably07:33
MartijnVdSryiter: and some editing of /etc/sudoers (please use visudo, it'll warn you if the file is not correct instead of making it impossible to use sudo)07:33
MartijnVdSryiter: The manual page for sudoers ("man sudoers") should have examples to do that07:34
ryiterno07:34
ryiteryou still don't understand my question07:34
ryiteri simply looking for one line command07:34
MartijnVdSryiter: yes: sudo -u user -i07:35
MartijnVdSryiter: but, you have to configure the system first.07:35
MartijnVdSthere is no other way, because of security07:36
ryiteri still can't understand where is the security issue ?07:36
MartijnVdSryiter: if you supply the password on the command line, another user could do "ps ax" and know the password07:37
MartijnVdSryiter: that is why "su" does not have an option to specify the password on the command line07:37
TheOpenSourcererIt will also live in your .bash_history in plaintext too I guess for sometime at least.07:37
ryiterdon't care i simply would like to check07:37
MartijnVdSTheOpenSourcerer: that, too07:37
TheOpenSourcererMartijnVdS: Still not tested the free beer yet ;-)07:38
TheOpenSourcererWill try and collect it today07:38
MartijnVdSryiter: what's the end goal? checking the password? doing things as the other user?07:38
MartijnVdSTheOpenSourcerer: yay :)07:38
ryiterend of the goal is just for try07:38
ryitersimply07:38
MartijnVdStry what?07:39
MartijnVdStry to see if the password is correct?07:39
ryiterthat will simplify lots of thing07:40
ryiteri found something on the net07:40
ryiterecho <password> | sud -  user07:40
MartijnVdSryiter: can you explain the problem you're solving, instead of just the one solution you've already thought of?07:41
ryiterbut not working07:41
ryiteri simply would like to create an alias07:41
ryiterwith that07:41
ryiterthat's all07:41
MartijnVdSryiter: that doesn't answer my question07:41
MartijnVdSwhat problem are you solving that requires you to do this?07:41
MartijnVdSbecause really what you seem to want is a proper "sudo" configuration so you can "be" (run programs as) the other user for a while07:42
ryiterthe problem is i got a list of users on :my system i don't want to search for the password each time07:42
MartijnVdSryiter: so you configure sudo (through /etc/sudoers) to let you use your own password (or no password) instead07:43
MartijnVdSryiter: problem solved07:43
ryiteras i don't have access on /etc/sudoers07:43
ryiteri simply looking to create an alias07:43
ryiterdo you get ?07:43
MartijnVdSryiter: in /etc/sudoers, put a line:07:44
ryiteri know that07:44
ryiterbut don't have access on /etc/sudoers  permission denied07:44
MartijnVdSryiter: sudo visudo07:44
ryiterbut don't have access on /etc/sudoers  permission denied07:45
MartijnVdSit will open an editor to edit sudoers for you07:45
ryiterMartijnVdS:07:45
ryiterbut don't have access on /etc/sudoers  permission denied07:45
MartijnVdSryiter: I saw your line the first time07:45
ryiterso i can't visudo anything07:46
TheOpenSourcererThen you are probably not in the sudo group07:46
MartijnVdSryiter: sudo visudo doesn't work either?07:46
ryiteryes of course07:46
ryiteri will never work07:46
TheOpenSourcererYou do not have the authourity.07:46
ryiterone solution for my problem07:46
ryiteris simply to create an alias with putting the passsword in clair07:46
ryiterthat's all07:47
MartijnVdSthat's impossible07:47
MartijnVdSbecause none of the programs that allow you to log in accept a password on the commandline or on stdin07:47
TheOpenSourcererYou will need to boot your machine from a CD and mount / so you can edit /etc/group.07:47
ryiterof course it should be possible07:47
ryiterimpossible not french07:47
MartijnVdSryiter: except it's not, because that would create security issues07:47
TheOpenSourcererThen you will be able to edit /etc/group and /etc/sudoers07:47
TheOpenSourcererIf the administrator did not give you sudo access then maybe they do not want you to do these things...07:48
ryiterthere is also an other solution maybe i m not sure07:49
neurolol07:49
neuro'ning all07:49
ryiteris it possible to generate a local key  and switch all user without password07:49

ryiteri m looking something like this : su - userboss --password mypersopassword07:54
neurodoesn't work like that07:54
neuroand leaving passwords lying around in shell history is kinda stupid07:54
ryiterwhen i copy and paste this line : su - userboss --password mypersopassword07:54
MartijnVdSryiter: like we told you: su can't do that, sudo CAN be configured to do something like that07:54
ryiteri simply would like to switch to user userboss07:54
ryiterwithout asking me for passsword07:55
neuroonly way i can think of is ssh key07:55

ryiterthere is no hack07:58
MartijnVdSneuro: these are not the droids you're looking for07:58
neuroif you do not have any form of superuser credentials, why would you need access to other people's accounts?07:58
MartijnVdSyeah, you could email the sysadmin and ASK him for the sudoers access07:59
neuro:)07:59
MartijnVdSit's a people problem :P07:59

MartijnVdSschoolwork?08:00
neuroi can't think of a valid reason for a non-sysadmin to require access to other user's accounts and their passwords08:00

dwatkinsSuperMatt: Calvin and Hobbes, naturally ;)12:32
dwatkinsif you need shorter names, Luke & Leia (but be prepared for people to mis-spell Leia all the time)12:32
dwatkinsIn a previous existence, I looked after servers named after constellations, no-one could spell Sagittarius, and it was the mail server, annoyingly.12:33

dwatkinsReally confuse your users by implementing server names with the apostrophes in... if that's even possible12:35
NET||abusehaha, i dont think dns supports it for the most part12:35
dwatkinsNET||abuse: yeah, it got silly; thankfully no-one ever setup a server named after cancer.12:35
NET||abusedwatkins: we were using stargate gods for our sprint names, then we switched to star wars planets12:35
NET||abusewe ran out of gods12:35
MartijnVdSNET||abuse: doesn't Star Wars only have 5 planets?12:36
dwatkinsI guess whatever you choose you'll run out eventually, unless you start with AAAAA, AAAAB etc. - then you'll have a lot of work to do before exhausting the namespace.12:36
dwatkinsI bet the extended Star Wars universe has hundreds.12:36

dwatkinsaha, DNS is more forgiving: (63 letters).(63 letters).(63 letters).(62 letters)12:43
NET||abusehmm, that's decent length actually, as opposed to a NETBios name being 15 characters12:44
dwatkinsno, I'm wrong, it's that minus one character, 25312:44
dwatkinsso for safety, assume each part of the name (four maximum) should be 62 chars or less, I guess.12:45
dwatkinsif you have a five-part hostname, you're special ;)12:45

diploWe're developing a new app, same thing but web based where we have a tab with a terminal inside the browser to keep working with stuff we haven't developed yet13:37
diploIssue is, when clicking on that tab it logs them in because they have no password prompt13:37

penguin42diplo: Well I guess you can do anything with pam13:43
diploJust reading into pam now13:43
penguin42diplo: Are you saying the act of logging in on the target uses a license or is it something post login?13:44
diploWe use any non system users are 1 license, so if they have multiple sessions keep logging in the use a license ( we're not strict about it though )13:45
diploMore the problem is going to be with a lot of dead sessions13:45
penguin42license stuff is always a good way to make life harder13:46
penguin42diplo: Do they get a shell?  I'm thinking of something like an authorized_keys file where the key only allows them to run a specific command and that waits for the return or something13:46
diplothere .profile basically auto logs them into our app13:47
diplopenguin42: thats an idea13:47
diploIf I can't find another way, that defo sounds doable13:48
penguin42diplo: Oh well before that in the .profile just put a    read DUMMY13:48

mungbean"Wine has a Direct3D to OpenGL translator that has significant performance overhead and spotty compatibility. This makes most open-source 3d drivers speak Direct3D natively, on par with OpenGL, so Wine doesn't need the translator any more"14:22
mungbeansums it up14:22
SuperMattwould be nice to see it mashed together with the next wine release14:22
mungbeanDownsides are that this fundamentally can't work with any of the closed-source drivers or the current Intel open-source drivers, so Wine can't throw away the wined3d translation layer yet.14:22

daftykinshas anyone encountered systems that just go to a black screen immediately when trying to boot in UEFI mode? 'nomodeset' doesn't help in such a case15:39
penguin42I've heard of it, not got any UEFI myself15:40
directhexdaftykins, i've heard of it on systems with a 32-bit UEFI implementation15:40
directhexdaftykins, which is some Atom boards, and ancient macs15:40
daftykinshmm15:40
daftykinsit's an Asus U36SD and U36SG semi-ultrabook with nvidia optimus tech15:41
penguin42oh god, Optimus15:41
daftykins;D15:41
daftykinsyep15:41
penguin42daftykins: Does it light up the external monitor or is it dead on everything15:41
daftykinsi didn't happen to try an external display as it goes15:42
directhexthere are multiple ways for optimus to be wired. some don't work.15:42
daftykinsin fact i should add that this was 12.04.2 also15:42
daftykins64-bit15:42
directhexcan you disable nvidia entirely from the uefi setup?15:42
penguin42and is it grub-efi ?15:42
daftykinswhat i did in the end was left windows 7 installed in UEFI, then i installed ubuntu legacy :D both can boot via a BIOS toggle / boot override :D15:42
daftykinsit was a friend who was over for the weekend to have an SSD fitted15:43
daftykinsso i was against the clock15:43
penguin42nod15:43
daftykinsi was at a motorcycle club organised music festival on the south west coast cliffs of Guernsey this weekend15:47
daftykinshere's the view of the sunset with the Hanois lighthouse over the campsite :) http://i.imgur.com/VHk0ZHE.jpg15:47
davmor2daftykins: I can tell you what it is if that helps :)  It tries to load the nvidia chipset the nvidia chipset fails back to the intel chipset but the screen is set to minimum brightness.  In saucy it will be better once the nvidia-persistenced driver lands as the optimus gets support15:47
daftykinswhy doesn't it start up fine like legacy mode does though?15:48
davmor2daftykins: nvidia-319 + nvidia-prime + nvidia-persistenced should rock on optimus15:49
daftykinslegacy mode boot of 12.04.2 gets in fine, intel only i expect15:49
daftykinsUEFI boot - nada15:49
MartijnVdSdaftykins: uefi boot doesn't work from USB sticks made with unetbootin15:50
davmor2daftykins: because legacy tries only the intel whereas uefi knows there is an nvidia card there too and that it needs to switch between the two15:50
MartijnVdSit does work from gtk-usb-creator-made sticks and CDs15:50
penguin42but you don't need unetbootin any more15:50
daftykinsMartijnVdS: i started with unetbootin, but switched to Universal USB creator from pendrivelinux.com on my second attempt - not sure if that's busted too?15:51
MartijnVdSdaftykins: I think that doesn't do efi either15:51
daftykinsthis was making a drive from Windows15:51
MartijnVdSthe CD always works15:51
daftykinsi see the black UEFI boot menu though15:51
daftykinsis that not enough?15:51
daftykinsdavmor2: ah ok, is that true of 12.10 and 13.04 too?15:51
MartijnVdShmm.. it should be15:51
davmor2daftykins: Yeap it only will work correctly from saucy on.  You can just turn the brightness up to see the login screen it's not great but it works15:52
MartijnVdSyay nvidia15:53
daftykinsi don't think you can throw that one on nvidia15:53
daftykinsroll on the day when as default, it'll boot intel only and be able to power down the nvidia chip on optimus. that'd be an acceptable default15:53
davmor2daftykins: oh it is,  they never bothered to support optimus on Linux which is the cause15:53
daftykinsoh i know that15:54
directhextypically it's an error in the ACPI implementation15:54
daftykinsbut surely Canonical should work around that15:54
directhexwhich is the fault of the people building the shipping firmware15:54
daftykinswell, Linux in general but for the case of Ubuntu specifically they should find a workaround imo15:54
directhexregardless of nvidia or not15:54
daftykinswhich firmware in that case? the system BIOS?15:54
directhexdaftykins, problem arises when the brightness value is misreported by the firmware. e.g. wife's netbook never seemed to recover from suspend, as closing lid would issue a lid close event, and opening lid would issue a lid closed event, so display never started again15:55
daftykinsright15:55
davmor2daftykins: what work around.   You need the latest x stack and the latest optimus supported nvidia driver and nvidia prime nothing else wil do it15:56
daftykinsdavmor2: so to verify that, booting as i do, the system should be network reachable (when on wired, naturally) when still being blank?15:56
daftykinsso it's still booted up15:56
daftykinsi get the feeling that's not what i was seeing but i could try it ^_^15:56
davmor2daftykins: just turn the brightness up15:57
daftykinsdavmor2: the workaround to use intel only15:57
daftykinspretty sure it's not brightness in this laptops case15:57
davmor2daftykins: that's set via the gfx to intel only in the uefi that would be the work around15:57
davmor2daftykins: if it's just the nvidia issue then 1 the brightness up will fix it and if it isn't then you should still be able to ssh in if you setup ssh15:59
daftykinsi don't think it even boots15:59
penguin42daftykins: If brave enough it's worth trying to make sure you're on latest firmware; a lot of UEFI bioses are very broken, a lot of NVIDIA bioses are very broken, but they're getting better15:59
daftykinsi just tried it then, it stays as a blank screen but i see the backlight on15:59
daftykinspenguin42: yeah, my step #1 with UEFI issues is always update. i'm current on this one :)15:59
daftykinsso i go into BIOS, move to boot override and select UEFI: flash drive16:00
daftykinsblack boot menu comes up, i select 'try...'16:00
penguin42we've got a batch of laptops at work and each one of us has a different BIOS version and different misbehaviour under X16:00
daftykinsblack screen with backlight on, no response from brightness controls, no lights to show it's alive16:00
daftykinshaha - doh16:00
penguin42but one guy was brave enough to update and it's a lot better for him, so give it a go16:01
daftykinsno bravery is required ;D16:04
popeyi tried to bios update my x220 last night, failed16:08
popeyit locks up at the "flash the bios" stage ☹16:08
daftykinserkle!16:09
penguin42popey: I bet that set the pulse racing a bit16:09
daftykinswhat update method was it? boot image, program inside the BIOS to read a flash drive...?16:09
daftykinsok there was actually a tiny update from 205 to 206, but it made no change16:15
daftykins(for my laptops BIOS)16:15
daftykinsah well, no biggy, i'm not after running Ubuntu on it :D16:15
popeyits one where you burn the iso to cd16:19
popeyso i put the iso image in /grub/images and booted via grub16:19
daftykinsi tend to steal the binaries from images and paste them onto a win98 booting flash drive :D16:21
daftykinsthen DOS it up16:21
daftykinsperhaps it detects something resident and gives up 0o16:22

daftykins^2fC-desktop: ok just checking. running a 3rd party internet security/firewall package that's blocking ping? perhaps it's in 'public' instead of home/work profile mode?16:31
^2fC-desktopAlanBell: via a Router/Switch/Power :)16:32
directhexyeah, sounds like the network is set to public, which applies a lot of firewalling, instead of private16:32

HoT|2fC^yeah16:40
HoT|2fC^yeah no they dont go sleep or anything :) or block any packets data etc..16:40
HoT|2fC^there good ones16:40
HoT|2fC^I set the static ip on basement and this PC16:41
daftykinscould always packet sniff and see if the ping request comes in16:41
HoT|2fC^how do I do that :D16:41
daftykinsinstall wireshark on one of them16:41
daftykinsrun wireshark and set it to capture on the LAN interface, then ping it from the one without wireshark16:42
daftykinsideally with as few programs running as possible to make the packets easier to read + slower moving16:42
daftykinsi'm assuming you caught some of the above16:44
HoT|2fC^thanks daftykins got it all :)16:44

penguin42I don't know how it's represented on glass to know16:55
HoT|2fC^daftykins, Do I need to tell my Router aswell about the other PC?16:57
HoT|2fC^or shoudnt that matter?16:57
HoT|2fC^I did a ping and it timed out and wireshare came up with Echoping etc..16:57
daftykinsso you pinged PC2 from PC1, wireshark on PC2 showed the ping request come in and the response go out?16:58
HoT|2fC^it sent 4 packets16:59
HoT|2fC^and didnt receive16:59
HoT|2fC^I did this from PC1 yes.16:59
daftykinsso wireshark is running on the one that's the target?16:59
HoT|2fC^both :/17:00
HoT|2fC^lol17:00
daftykinscan you up a screen of wireshark showing the capture at the time?17:00
daftykinsjust be sure it's being run as admin / root17:01

MattJbased on bits I have around18:59
neuroha, good luck with that18:59
MattJIt's going to be great!18:59

MattJneuro, I'm already planning to handle that with an Arduino and a few fans19:00
neurowat19:00
MartijnVdSthe holy water?19:00
MattJthe fire19:00
MattJActually a smoke sensor would be good19:00
MartijnVdSI mean.. Arduinos are Italian, but do they bless water?19:00
neuroyou're putting an arduino in your nas?19:00
MartijnVdSneuro: the arduino IS the nas19:00
MattJMy NAS is probbly a bit bigger than your NAS, so yes19:00
neurolol19:00
neuroMattJ: let's not play the thing sizing game :)19:01
MattJWhen I said "bits I have lying around"...19:01

MattJneuro, I came so close to buying one today (off ebay even)... but adding everything up... meh19:03
MartijnVdSneuro: hahaha :)19:03
neuroit's worth it19:03
MattJPlus it would be good to be able to do more custom stuff19:03
penguin42there are some nice pics of 1960s modems in lovely varnished cases with a DB25 on the side19:03
neuroi haven't had a log entry on my nv+ v1 since april19:03
neuroit just ticks over being awesome19:03
MartijnVdSso.. steampunk NAS?19:03
MattJMartijnVdS, I can't say I haven't considered it19:03
neurohad to replace a failing drive last november, it dealt with it without missing a beat19:04
MattJI have my eye on a nice old-fashioned gauge for disk usage19:04
MartijnVdSMattJ: but how are you going to store several TB of ring-core memory?19:04
MattJmercury delay tubes19:04
neuroi still believe that storage should not be mixed with homebrew self build hacking tomfoolery19:04
neuroi've lost too much data in the past to leave it to myself19:05
MattJneuro, I believe that too, but I'm temporarily choosing to forget that I believe that19:05
MattJI'll send you the "I told you so" t-shirt in advance19:05

neuroyou're still wrong19:09
MartijnVdSneuro: I had to run some kind of Windows utility on it to disable sleep mode19:09
MattJOpinions on Seagate?19:09
MartijnVdSneuro: because it has a hidden sleep mode19:09
neuroi haven't observed that19:09
neuroi reckon it's just smart being unsmart19:09
MartijnVdSneuro: it's still clicking all the time19:09
MattJI've always had a negative opinion of them, and saw someone today claim how famed they are for reliability19:09
neuroseagate = poo19:09
neurono clicks here19:09
* penguin42 has heard of issues with the WDs before - I'd stay clear of them19:09
MattJI've always used Samsung drives given the choice19:09
neuroi've had so many seagates crap out on me i've lost count19:09
SuperMattI've never had any real issues with any hd manufacturer19:10
MartijnVdSMattJ: I have a Seagate 3TB disk (7200rpm) for /home19:10

neurostill works perfick19:10
SuperMattI just live by the mantra that if you're relying on a single disk for everything, you're going to have a bad tinme19:11
MartijnVdSSuperMatt: true19:11
neuroi had a seagate 1tb usb2 thing that started showing sector errors and clicks of death after about 3 months19:11
neuroand it hardly moved19:11
neuroi have wd greens, elements, mac passports and a couple of AV-GPs that are all rocking along19:12

neuroum, porn, mainly porn19:17
neuroI KID19:17
MartijnVdSalso some terrorist plans19:18
neuronas0 is mainly video, nas1 is homedirs, scratch space, etc, backups server backs up all my servers, mac mini *cough* obtains things, and does time machine for itself and my 13" MBP, 2TB in my 15" MBP does local time machine, downloads, scratch space, central iTunes library (~ 150GB)19:19

neuroyikes19:23
SuperMattoh well19:23
neuroi'm really only getting this nas so i have a bit of esxi reliability19:23
neuroand so i can shut down my pentium "oh, i claim to be 64-bit but i'm not really ha ha" D esxi box19:24
neurowhich means i'll drop off irc at some point, as the vm that runs irssi proxy is on there ;)19:25
penguin42popey: On the welcome screen picture what's the highlighted pip represent?19:28
SuperMattneuro: but if you come off irc you will cease to exist!19:29
neuroI DON'T CARE, IT MUST BE DONE!19:30
penguin42neuro: Don't you just migrate your vm to somewhere else while you handle it?19:30
neuroit's esxi19:30
penguin42can't it do that?19:30
neurono vmotion etc19:30
neuroyeah, it can, if you pay money19:30
penguin42oh19:31

popeyphotos, miles run, personal stuff19:31
popeypenguin42: proportional sized circles19:31
penguin42popey: oh hmm19:31
davmor2penguin42: the idea is it becomes a graphical representation of you, to welcome you to your phone19:51
penguin42with beard?19:52
davmor2penguin42: http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/15/touch-based-ubuntu-preview-coming-february-21st/ first phone image19:53
penguin42so what are the sizes of the blobs supposed to represent (as opposed to the number) - time since reception?19:57
davmor2penguin42: if you had 10 tweet yesterday and 20 today, todays blob would be bigger and yesterdays etc20:01
davmor2penguin42: not entirely sure how that will work for talk time20:01
penguin42ok, fair enough, so decaying blob size20:01
penguin42it would be interesting to see during a heavy conversation or something20:02
popeyno20:10
popeymaybe20:11
penguin42isn't that supposed to be       yes,no,maybe ?20:11
popeyso the dots are days of the month20:17
popeyand yeah, the blobs are proportional to the data that day20:17
AlanBellso there is an API for apps to push data to the blobs?20:23
popeyi guess so ☻20:24
AlanBellso it could be more interesting humany things, like calories, or units of alcohol20:24
AlanBellor books read20:24
AlanBellpages of books read, from an e-reader app20:25
AlanBellsteps from a pedometer app reading the orientation sensors . . .20:25
ali1234whats wrong with just having current time and date, last three events, next three appointments?20:26
ali1234why does everything have to be an experience these days?20:27
AlanBelldaily manufacturing productivity figures published from your ERP application20:28
penguin42I'm surprised it's just revealing one variable - I'd have let you specify the r/g/b individually and the texture etc so you could see those manufacturing figures together with sales, temperature and stock price21:06
ali1234but if you could specify r/g/b then you could make it not use the ubuntu colours21:30
popeyyou can show multiple things21:54
popeywhen you tap it, it redraws21:54
popeyso you could rotate round a number of stats21:54
