I like pronuto I just don't have any today. needs shopping trip. [07:55] lol [07:56] fridge is empty! [07:56] hey we gotta think about trying to promote this channel more [07:56] I been very bad with it lately ha ha [07:56] or make the existing adds or so more obvious [07:57] shopping is a pain [07:57] there are lotsa peeps using ubuntu that dont know we exist [07:57] its all about numbers. most people wont bother as they on all the other IM and chats like fb or whatnot. [07:58] so they are not curious enough to try something new [07:58] no man some dont know we have a help channel [07:58] I used 'buntu for maybe 2 years before I joined irc [07:59] found a ballie on #libreoffice looking for help with a crashing unity [07:59] maybe 1.5 years [07:59] eish [07:59] I get tired hearing somuch of crashing unity. it is very sad :( [07:59] on our west coast [08:00] no man they dont all know about update/upgrade and using ppas [08:00] like he ppaed the latest libreoffice then unity kept hanging [08:00] and that channel dont answer help much [08:02] sjoe 13.04 is faster [08:02] installed on old p4 in 15 mins about [08:04] slow to reboot though [08:04] remember 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. [08:05] wow that is quick Kilos ! [08:05] and no need to turn off desktop effects even with scrapped graphics card [08:05] this is kde [08:05] 12.04 took 30 mins to install there [08:06] just a bit blue the background. too close to win for me [08:07] when you going to ubuntu kbmonkey ? [08:07] the last one I used was 10.10 (I think) [08:08] or 11.04 [08:08] oh if you know of irc social channels in za tell sally [08:08] I am not sure I am going back to Ubuntu Kilos - Once Unity came in I decided to adventure into new territory [08:08] this 13.04 kde looks good [08:09] that kde plasma [08:09] i also have a prob with unity later than 12.04 but the kde has got better imo [08:09] yeah [08:09] will do update/upgrade if i can stay awake tonight [08:10] kde has got more tools for your kinda clever peeps i think [08:10] I tell my pc to turn off in x hours at night. it is useful. [08:11] kde has a lot of 'widgets' and 'applets' and things [08:11] not an applet man myself. [08:11] I like the simple things in life ;) [08:13] irc social channels? can you explain a bit more please? [08:16] i dunno i suppose she meant where peeps get together and just chat [08:16] we must try get her to use ubuntu [08:17] chat here :D [08:17] hehe [08:17] there are 100's of channels here for various projects. freenode is for project discussion. [08:17] this new kde is really good [08:18] other irc servers exist - enter at your own risk [08:18] im sorry now i didnt use that data to upgrade my 12.04 kde [08:18] she seems to know irc because i see she is masked [08:19] oh not anymore [08:19] maybe im mistook [08:20] hey kbmonkey you must study man [08:20] there linux engineer jobs going there in durbs [08:21] like the first time I see a linux job position in years [08:23] this job thing is really a waste of one's life [08:24] at least the current job is [08:25] ya but difficult to start on your own until everyone knows about you [08:37] what if you have a condition where you dont want everyone to know about you Kilos ? [08:37] then is it impossibly difficult? [08:38] yeah but thats where the work comes from [08:38] hard to start off on your own [08:38] no income for a long time [09:04] hi Xethron [12:19] hi Kilos [12:19] and everyone else [12:19] Maaz: coffee on [12:19] * Maaz flips the salt-timer [12:23] Coffee's ready for charl_!

[12:39] yeah installed in 15 mins on my slower pc [12:48] now i want it here but will need to wait for 11pm to do update/upgrade [12:50] i am pretty happy right here with i3 on my laptop because i like to use keyboard navigation (using the touchpad sucks) [12:51] at work i'm using gnome3 on debian7 atm which is also good enough [12:51] but i still think kde4 is all-round the best desktop there is at the moment [12:52] i will see after an upgrade so i can see how everything works [12:55] Howdy all [12:56] hi magespawn howsit [12:56] Good and you?

[17:02] alo, thanks [17:02] always :) [17:02] haha [17:15] wbb [17:45] evening all [17:47] hello magespawn [17:48] how goes it? can you also hear fireworks this entire weekend? [17:48] hey kbmonkey [17:48] not here in hluhluwe, not many Hindu people here [17:50] i have a general sort of question: if i have root accessto your bare metal server how do you get me off? [17:51] oh yes, I though it was for guy falkes or some other. [17:51] Diwali I think [17:52] if you have root's password to my server, I can block your IP from ssh'ing in - best protection is to change the password though [17:52] okay assume that if i had root access i will have locked you out [17:52] if it is via ssh you should not use passwords anyway - use gpg keys for authentication and disable remote password logins [17:53] oh, I see.. [17:53] If you locked me out? that is pretty serious - reboot the server in recovery mode and reset root password from there (single user mode) [17:54] you need physical access to do that [17:54] which yuo could only really do if you had physical access to the machine? [17:54] recovery mode boots to a root console, thenyou can "passwd root" [17:55] right just wanted some conformation of what i suspected, lots of politics at work [17:55] correct. without physical access and no way to log in, you cannot recover the root account. [17:55] hmm, it sounds harsh. === Eames is now known as magespawn [17:58] right back just had to change connection [17:58] roger [18:03] so 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 on [18:06] no i am not the one locked out [18:07] the works joomla website was cracked today, and the 'other' it person claims it was done by a script on the server with root access [18:08] man, that is some claim, and how did it get on there in the first place. [18:08] quote 'this is a script that some one have run in the server with root access that affects every one on that server [18:08] ' [18:09] exactly you would need some sort of access alrready that you could somehow elevate to root [18:12] indeed. [18:13] it was a joomla cms, on apache, presumable on some sort of linux os [18:15] I think they host themselves, though how and where I have no idea [18:16] I feel a little like a mushroom sometimes, lol [18:18] A goomba mushroom? [18:18] those guys in Mario Bros [18:19] if they are kept in the dark and fed on manure [18:23] they love that though, so it may not be your calling if that is the case :p [18:52] how do you do your job if that is the case then? [18:56] brb [18:56] exit [19:01] guten abend mein herren [19:01] abent [19:02] daai ding [19:02] herren is more than one her hey? [19:04] hey kbmonkey [19:05] you okes all in suspended animation [19:05] hi Kilos - magespawn was just in. said brb [19:05] such weird things happen here [19:06] 13.04 kde installed like a bomb on old single core pc but here it sukkels and hangs [19:06] good night Kilos I am off [19:06] almost like the old one bust the boot stick [19:06] night kbmonkey sleep tight [19:07] feeling hot and dizzy [19:07] oh no [19:07] going to step away from the screen [19:07] good [19:07] rest well work tomorrow [19:07] yup. gonna make more tea. [19:07] hope you get better [19:07] hope magespawn comes back. [19:08] whew you worry me [19:08] not enough pronutro [19:26] kbmonkey: I don't use the "widgets and applets and things" in KDE [19:26] lol hes just looking for excuses not to use ubuntu superfly good evening [19:27] all good there with you and family? [19:33] wb magespawn [19:33] hey Kilos [19:33] did not see you lurking there [19:33] hehe i was away earlier [19:33] ah right [19:33] monkey sick [19:34] hot and dizzy [19:34] ahh, nice to have a bit of a chat though [19:34] needs a doctor then [19:34] he opened the window and influenza [19:34] he isnt a well guy [19:35] shame [19:35] you ready for another week of it [19:36] indeed, altough i was at work briefly today [19:36] ah with the hacking prob [19:37] no strangely enough not, those computers are nowhere near the property, this was a failed network cable [19:37] ai! [19:37] how do cables fail [19:37] what do they make then out of [19:38] this was an ethernet cable, might be at one or other of the ends, or from electricity or such [19:38] copper and plastic [19:39] ai! [19:39] it can happen [19:39] without movement?
