gingwhy does ubuntu always hesitate so much when you give it the wrong password, i seem to know it's wrong before it does, is there some sort of rate limiting that no other OS seems to use or set so high?07:03
BigRedS yeah, it's ratelimiting07:04

MooDooging: does this help you? - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=117642707:18
gingnope, it does not contain a petition to get the default delay time cut to atleast half07:22
MooDoois there an entry in /etc/pam.d/login that has something like this in it? - auth       optional   pam_faildelay.so  delay=300000007:24
MooDoothis is the page I got that from http://superuser.com/questions/165550/change-password-timeout-on-linux07:24
jussiINSECURITY!!! :P07:25
jussiI remember Linus complaining about this at some point...07:25
MooDooyeah I know, I'm just googling for them ;)07:25
gingbeing able to change it doesn't help me, i'm not going to go round and change it on every ubuntu machine i have to use, it will take me forever07:26
MooDooin that case, don't get your password wrong ;)07:27
gingi just thing, imagine all those 2 seconds that get wasted, all that lost productivity, could be cut in half and still be just as secure07:33
shaunodevil's advocate could argue that if people aren't capable of typing something they use daily, they're probably losing much more than 2 seconds a day elsewhere07:41
SuperMattI would say that rate limiting bad passwords is perfectly acceptable07:42
SuperMattbecause it keep brute force attacks from being anywhere near viable07:43
SuperMattand at most I only ever type my password incorrectly twice before I slowly and purposefully type each character while staring at the keyboard to ensure I got it right07:44
SuperMattso what, 10 seconds wasted?07:44
SuperMattit's hardly the end of the world07:44
SuperMattit's wasting more of my day right now to run my apt-get upgrade07:44
MooDooSuperMatt: 10 seconds, you can breath twice in that time, stop wasting breaths ;)07:53
SuperMattI think it's about time I signed up to the release party07:57

Dave-MaydewWonder if anyone can help? I'm using a i5 with 8Gb RAM, Radeon 5450 and 2 monitors on Ubuntu 12.04.3. When I go to play a game, like Warzone 2100 it spreads itself across the 2 monitors, which is a little crazy, is there a way around this?08:29
directhexDave-Maydew, this is a per-game problem08:31
Dave-MaydewOk, cheers08:31
Dave-MaydewI was going to buy another GPU, when I saw this happen08:32
directhextry running the game in a window instead of fullscreen08:33
Dave-MaydewI shall give it a try, many thanks08:34
Dave-MaydewLast question... Unity and multi monitors, when I press the workspace switcher, is there any way of just making it 4 spaces instead of the 8?08:35
MooDooDave-Maydew: does this help? -  http://www.ryanchapin.com/Home?article_id=71408:38
Dave-MaydewYou are a star, been googling this all last night, and I thought I'd give the irc a try for the first time!! thanks MooDoo08:40
MooDooyou're welcome08:40
Dave-MaydewI'm a sight impaired user, and 2 monitors have been a great help, and the only reason for using Unity is the fact that it's what I'm used to08:41

JamesTaitI was looking into membership as well, but to be honest, most of my contribution has been from my day job, and on the server side, so I don't think it really counts.08:49
MooDoowell to be honest, i'm only really active here for the moment, but it's a start08:49

SuperMatthurrr, I just realised, windows 8.1 will be released the day after saucy09:01

SuperMattah yes, the cult of alan09:05
kecskebakIn Hungary they're known as Jasz, and there are towns and even a county named after them.09:05

neurodidn't want to do something stupid like take out a mail server or a db slave, that would have suuuuuuucked11:32
davmor2neuro: Maybe have the mouse point change to a sword over the terminate button and a bloody sword when you click on terminate would make it more enjoyable :D11:32

SuperMatt....12:54
SuperMattwhat medium did you use?12:54
shaunoCDs.  it seemed to make sense.  they come in a handy plastic tub, you just need to seal it?12:54

SuperMattso what went wrong?12:54
SuperMattother than the fact that writable CDs have a limited lifespan12:55

popeyi like the idea though12:55
popeyhard disk + silica gel in a sealed sandwich bag inside a tupperware box, upside down in a hole in the ground12:56
shaunoluckily I didn't need the backup, but when I went to swap them out a year later, I couldn't separate one disk from the next12:56
