[02:08] <pleia2> evening
[02:09] <CyberTails> Do you guys need me to bring my external CD Burner with me for the installfest this weekend at FOSSCon?
[02:11] <TheLordOfTime> i wish i could get to FOSSCon
[02:11] <TheLordOfTime> but...
[02:11] <TheLordOfTime> E: No Money
[02:11] <TheLordOfTime> so i can't get there :/
[02:12] <TheLordOfTime> and I'd bring a few LiveUSBs and LiveCDs to help with the installfest :/
[02:13] <CyberTails> No Fare Money or no ticket money?
[02:13] <TheLordOfTime> no money period
[02:13] <CyberTails> Oh, for Tickets, there IS a free option]
[02:13] <TheLordOfTime> can't get money for a train to Philadelphia from here...
[02:13] <CyberTails> as for fares, I can't help you there
[02:13] <TheLordOfTime> can't get money for gas to drive there...
[02:13] <TheLordOfTime> can't get money for a hotel...
[02:13] <TheLordOfTime> so i'm stuck at "THIS SUCKS!"
[02:14] <CyberTails> I'm sorry then
[02:14] <TheLordOfTime> oh, and can't get toll for the turnpike either
[02:14] <TheLordOfTime> :/
[02:14] <TheLordOfTime> toll money*
[02:14]  * TheLordOfTime is in Pittsburgh, so a trip to Philly is not *hard* if he had money
[02:25] <pleia2> CyberTails: jedijf is the one to talk to about about the external cd burner
[02:26] <pleia2> (or you can ask on the mailing list, he'll reply there too :))

[10:07] <JonathanD> ok
[12:11] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples, dogs, turkeys and everything else
[12:32] <JonathanD> hi
[12:40] <KyleYankan> Morn
[12:43] <jedijf> Hello.
[12:43] <jedijf> Would you guys be able to assist me on installing MS Office/Windows on IBM Thinkpad T60 laptop which already operates on Ubuntu 12.04 OS?
[12:43] <jedijf> Many thanks.
[12:43] <jedijf> PS - I'm already registered and looking forward to the event.
[12:43] <jedijf> from the forums ^^^
[12:43] <jedijf> in the spirit of Ubuntu, I guess YES
[12:43] <KyleYankan> Just tell them, to use etherpad.
[13:26] <InHisName> Put in VirtualBox and install it there, jedijf
[13:52] <scottrigby> sup everyone
[13:53] <scottrigby> eww
[13:53] <scottrigby> why not use libreoffice
[14:10] <jedijf> InHisName: i was going to offer that first ;)
[14:31] <JonathanD> rmg51: hey
[14:34] <JonathanD> rmg51: whats the plan for sfd
[14:57] <rmg51> show up before noon
[14:58] <rmg51> give talk
[14:59] <rmg51> I haven't heard from Don again
[15:07] <jedijf> JonathanD: ^^^
[15:16] <JonathanD> rmg51: hah, ok :)
[15:17] <rmg51> we can talk more about it on Sat.
[16:18] <dedi> hey- im having trouble logging in as root in my terminal! anyhelp?
[16:21] <scottrigby> o i didn't know you can't su root by default in ubuntu :p https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[16:22] <KyleYankan> scottrigby: sudo -i
[16:22] <KyleYankan> Should work.
[16:22] <scottrigby> KyleYankan: so the thing dedi wants to do is create mysql databases
[16:23] <KyleYankan> create them? Can't he just log in via mysql?
[16:23] <KyleYankan> You don't need sudo for that, do you?
[16:23] <dedi> ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'xyz'
[16:23] <scottrigby> KyleYankan: that's what threw me. He can login to mysql
[16:24] <dedi> this is what i get when i log into mysql
[16:24] <scottrigby> ^ and try to create a DB
[16:24] <KyleYankan> You're not putting a username in :-P
[16:24] <KyleYankan> Did you set a MySQL Username/password?
[16:41] <TheLordOfTime> better question: do you have a username/password for it?  Unless you soet it up in which case root...
[16:41] <TheLordOfTime> dedi:  ^
[16:42] <TheLordOfTime> dedi:  read up, KyleYankan makes a good point :)
[16:42] <TheLordOfTime> KyleYankan:  if he has no login for mysql though it won't help
[16:42] <TheLordOfTime> (needs to have a login, whether it's root or something else)
[16:42] <KyleYankan> I'm talking to him via pm TheLordOfTime
[16:42] <TheLordOfTime> KyleYankan:  ah okay :0
[16:42] <TheLordOfTime> :)
[16:42] <TheLordOfTime> KyleYankan:  kinda helps to know it went to PM :P
[16:43]  * TheLordOfTime goes back to poking nginx and fixing a Critical priority bug on it
[16:43] <KyleYankan> Sorry :-)
[16:43] <KyleYankan> Didn't mean to sound rude/terse
[16:43] <TheLordOfTime> no problem :)
[16:43]  * TheLordOfTime yawns
[16:43] <TheLordOfTime> ... i need coffee
[16:43] <KyleYankan> 2 please.
[16:44] <dedi> yeah, still pretty much back to the same part, i remember setting up a user name and password during installing lamp, but the terminal doesn't seem to recognize
[16:44] <dedi> i think i need to reset a username/password
[16:45] <TheLordOfTime> dedi:  did you specify it with the mysql command?
[16:45] <TheLordOfTime> because if it's unspecified it might not pass a username to the connection string
[16:45]  * TheLordOfTime yawns... okay, seriously, coffee time
[16:47] <dedi> facepalm
[16:47] <dedi> got it now
[16:47] <dedi> thanks
[16:47] <scottrigby> yay ^_^
[16:47] <scottrigby> KyleYankan++
[16:47] <scottrigby> TheLordOfTime++
[16:47] <scottrigby> dedi++
[16:47] <dedi> pluses for everyone
[16:47] <TheLordOfTime> universe++
[16:47] <TheLordOfTime> erm...
[16:47] <TheLordOfTime> universe-- actually
[16:48] <TheLordOfTime> because reasons
[16:48] <KyleYankan> nice, nice.
[16:48] <KyleYankan> In the begining the universe was created.
[16:48] <scottrigby> yeah it was `mysql -u root -p` and he could get in as root and make a db. Now dedi should be able to grant his user permissions to do so right?
[16:48] <KyleYankan> Yeah
[16:49] <scottrigby> TheLordOfTime: haha indeed. I wouldn't blame universe for fuckedupness on this planet, but … maybe who knows
[16:49] <KyleYankan> http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql_intro.html
[16:49] <KyleYankan> dedi ^
[16:49] <dedi> ^^
[16:50] <TheLordOfTime> scottrigby:  mhm
[16:50] <TheLordOfTime> once he gets in as root user he can create other users with DB-specific permissions
[16:50] <TheLordOfTime> but yeah `-u USER` is a wonderfully useful argument that is kinda needed :P
[16:51] <scottrigby> right
[16:51] <scottrigby> TheLordOfTime: since it's his laptop, no harm in adding his user `dedi` to an admin group right?
[16:52] <scottrigby> so he doesn't have to log into mysql as root every time?
[17:07] <TheLordOfTime> scottrigby:  it's not internet facing, right?  That is to say, his laptop's mysql and http ports are locked to the outside, right?
[17:08] <TheLordOfTime> scottrigby:  as long as you're talking about creating a MySQL user for him ithere's no harm
[17:08] <TheLordOfTime> his laptop user should laready be admin with sudo
[17:12] <scottrigby> TheLordOfTime: it will not be internet facing no. but not sure the status of his ports. dedi just ran to get food but i can ask him to check ports when he gets back
[17:16] <TheLordOfTime> yeah it wouldn't hurt to throw basic iptables rules on his system
[17:34] <scottrigby> Anyone have a preferred method for creating virtual hosts in Lubuntu?
[17:37] <scottrigby> other than adding to /etc/apache2/sites-available, enabling with sudo a2ensite, and restarting apache?
[19:52] <TheLordOfTime> scottrigby:  by not using apache in the first place :P
[19:52] <TheLordOfTime> scottrigby:  you have to do a2ensite and create a sites-available file though
[19:52] <TheLordOfTime> and either restart or reload the configs
[19:53] <TheLordOfTime> but...
[19:53]  * TheLordOfTime shrugs
[19:53] <jedijf> nginx commercial
[20:02] <TheLordOfTime> :P
[20:02] <TheLordOfTime> i never said ANYTHING about nginx :P
[20:02] <TheLordOfTime> BUT SINCE YOU MENTIONED IT, jedijf... :p
[20:02] <TheLordOfTime> nginx > apache for most use cases
[20:03] <scottrigby> hehe
[20:48] <TheLordOfTime> jedijf:  who all will be running the installfest at FOSSCON?
[20:52] <jedijf> rich0, dwfreed, rmg, teddy-d-bear, anyone else who wants to help
[20:52] <jedijf> Fedora is sending a team
[20:52] <jedijf> TheLordOfTime: ^^^
[20:53] <TheLordOfTime> jedijf:  wish I were at FOSSCON then I'd be around with the Ubuntu people... :/
[20:53] <TheLordOfTime> problem is i can't get there :/
[20:53] <jedijf> TheLordOfTime: next year - always around this time - try to plan
[20:53] <TheLordOfTime> jedijf:  it's not an issue of planning.
[20:53] <jedijf> start walking early
[20:53] <TheLordOfTime> my schedule's wide open
[20:53] <TheLordOfTime> it's an issue of money.
[20:53]  * TheLordOfTime has none to spare :/
[20:54] <jedijf> start saving now for next year
[20:54] <jedijf> the good thing is the event is free
[20:55] <JonathanD> And the event is free because I never want our cost to be the reason someone can't go. I can't do anything about hotels, though.
[20:55] <jedijf> you heard it here
[20:55] <JonathanD> maybe we can open a fosstel
[20:55] <jedijf> lol
[20:55] <jedijf> if we use the same location they can camp in Love park with the other campers
[20:56] <jedijf> just don't skateboard
[20:56] <jedijf> bathe in the fountain
[20:56] <jedijf> you can ^^
[20:56] <jedijf> we'll always do a continental breakfast because I never want hunger to be areason not to attend :)
[21:00] <TheLordOfTime> heh
[21:00]  * TheLordOfTime shrugs
[21:00] <TheLordOfTime> i was on vacation last week hence no *free* money
[21:00] <TheLordOfTime> vacations are expensive
[21:00] <TheLordOfTime> :/
