kbmonkeyI been very bad with it lately ha ha07:56
Kilosor make the existing adds or so more obvious07:56
Kilosshopping is a pain07:57
Kilosthere are lotsa peeps using ubuntu that dont know we exist07:57
kbmonkeyits all about numbers. most people wont bother as they on all the other IM and chats like fb or whatnot.07:57
kbmonkeyso they are not curious enough to try something new07:58
Kilosno man some dont know we have a help channel07:58
kbmonkeyI used 'buntu for maybe 2 years before I joined irc07:58
Kilosfound a ballie on #libreoffice looking for help with a crashing unity07:59
kbmonkeymaybe 1.5 years07:59
kbmonkeyeish07:59
kbmonkeyI get tired hearing somuch of crashing unity. it is very sad :(07:59
Kiloson our west coast07:59
Kilosno man they dont all know about update/upgrade and using ppas08:00
Kiloslike he ppaed the latest libreoffice then unity kept hanging08:00
Kilosand that channel dont answer help much08:00
Kilossjoe 13.04 is faster08:02
Kilosinstalled on old p4 in 15 mins about08:02
Kilosslow to reboot though08:04
kbmonkeyremember Gnome is a mature project. It was born in 1997. It was a hasty move to push unity to the main stream so you get these problems now and then.08:04
kbmonkeywow that is quick Kilos !08:05
Kilosand no need to turn off desktop effects even with scrapped graphics card08:05
Kilosthis is kde 08:05
Kilos12.04 took 30 mins to install there08:05
Kilosjust a bit blue the background. too close to win for me08:06
Kiloswhen you going to ubuntu kbmonkey ?08:07
kbmonkeythe last one I used was 10.10 (I think)08:07
kbmonkeyor 11.0408:08
Kilosoh if you know of irc social channels in za tell sally08:08
kbmonkeyI am not sure I am going back to Ubuntu Kilos - Once Unity came in I decided to adventure into new territory08:08
Kilosthis 13.04 kde looks good08:08
kbmonkeythat kde plasma08:09
Kilosi also have a prob with unity later than 12.04 but the kde has got better imo08:09
Kilosyeah08:09
Kiloswill do update/upgrade if i can stay awake tonight08:09
Kiloskde has got more tools for your kinda clever peeps i think08:10
kbmonkeyI tell my pc to turn off in x hours at night. it is useful.08:10
kbmonkeykde has a lot of 'widgets' and 'applets' and things08:11
kbmonkeynot an applet man myself. 08:11
kbmonkeyI like the simple things in life ;)08:11
kbmonkeyirc social channels? can you explain a bit more please?08:13
Kilosi dunno i suppose she meant where peeps get together and just chat08:16
Kiloswe must try get her to use ubuntu08:16
kbmonkeychat here :D08:17
Kiloshehe08:17
kbmonkeythere are 100's of channels here for various projects. freenode is for project discussion.08:17
Kilosthis new kde is really good08:17
kbmonkeyother irc servers exist - enter at your own risk08:18
Kilosim sorry now i didnt use that data to upgrade my 12.04 kde08:18
Kilosshe seems to know irc because i see she is masked08:18
Kilosoh not anymore08:19
Kilosmaybe im mistook08:19
Kiloshey kbmonkey you must study man08:20
Kilosthere linux engineer jobs going there in durbs08:20
kbmonkeylike the first time I see a linux job position in years08:21
kbmonkeythis job thing is really a waste of one's life08:23
kbmonkeyat least the current job is08:24
Kilosya but difficult to start on your own until everyone knows about you08:25
kbmonkeywhat if you have a condition where you dont want everyone to know about you Kilos ?08:37
kbmonkeythen is it impossibly difficult?08:37
Kilosyeah but thats where the work comes from08:38
Kiloshard to start off on your own08:38

Kilosnow i want it here but will need to wait for 11pm to do update/upgrade12:48
charl_i am pretty happy right here with i3 on my laptop because i like to use keyboard navigation (using the touchpad sucks)12:50
charl_at work i'm using gnome3 on debian7 atm which is also good enough12:51

magespawnevening all17:45
kbmonkeyhello magespawn 17:47
kbmonkeyhow goes it? can you also hear fireworks this entire weekend?17:48
magespawnhey kbmonkey 17:48
magespawnnot here in hluhluwe, not many Hindu people here17:48
magespawni have a general sort of question: if i have root accessto your bare metal server how do you get me off?17:50
kbmonkeyoh yes, I though it was for guy falkes or some other.17:51
magespawnDiwali I think17:51
kbmonkeyif you have root's password to my server, I can block your IP from ssh'ing in - best protection is to change the password though17:52
magespawnokay assume that if i had root access i will have locked you out17:52
kbmonkeyif it is via ssh you should not use passwords anyway - use gpg keys for authentication and disable remote password logins17:52
kbmonkeyoh, I see..17:53
kbmonkeyIf you locked me out? that is pretty serious - reboot the server in recovery mode and reset root password from there (single user mode)17:53
kbmonkeyyou need physical access to do that17:54
magespawnwhich yuo could only really do if you had physical access to the machine?17:54
kbmonkeyrecovery mode boots to a root console, thenyou can "passwd root"17:54
magespawnright just wanted some conformation of what i suspected, lots of politics at work17:55
kbmonkeycorrect. without physical access and no way to log in, you cannot recover the root account.17:55
kbmonkeyhmm, it sounds harsh.17:55
=== Eames is now known as magespawn
magespawnright back just had to change connection17:58
kbmonkeyroger17:58
kbmonkeyso magespawn are you the one locked out, or was it a question to see if somebody else could get back in?18:03
* kbmonkey puts the monocale on18:03
magespawnno i am not the one locked out18:06
magespawnthe works joomla website was cracked today, and the 'other' it person claims it was done by a script on the server with root access18:07
kbmonkeyman, that is some claim, and how did it get on there in the first place. 18:08
magespawnquote 'this is a script that some one have run in the server with root access that affects every one on that server18:08
magespawn'18:08
magespawnexactly you would need some sort of access alrready that you could somehow elevate to root18:09
kbmonkeyindeed.18:12
magespawnit was a joomla cms, on apache, presumable on some sort of linux os18:13
magespawnI think they host themselves, though how and where I have no idea18:15
magespawnI feel a little like a mushroom sometimes, lol18:16
kbmonkeyA goomba mushroom?18:18
kbmonkeythose guys in Mario Bros 18:18
magespawnif they are kept in the dark and fed on manure18:19
kbmonkeythey love that though, so it may not be your calling if that is the case :p18:23
magespawnhow do you do your job if that is the case then?18:52
