raulduxhey there, I wonder if there's a tool in xubuntu to regulate a users profile login time (for a child). I know there's pam but seems a little complicate to setup quickly. also read about timekpr and it seems this is what I'm looking for. Just don't wana use ppa's. Is there anything simmilar in standard repos available?10:02
pmjdebruijnactually it seems timekpr is tied to unity10:04
pmjdebruijnand not per se very well maintained10:04
pmjdebruijnunless I'm missing something at a glance10:04
raulduxthx. Timekpr only available via an ppa this for I do not consider it anyway. alternativ recommendation?10:10
pmjdebruijnno sorry10:13
pmjdebruijndoing something like that well, seems rather complicated and fragile10:14
raulduxhm, there's a company behind ubuntu. shouldn't be that difficult to implement.10:21
knomerauldux, i don't think this is their priority... maybe if you pay them some money :P10:22
raulduxyeah u might have a point on that. My equation would be childer are our future so some how ubuntu future :)10:25
raulduxso I guess I need to get in the pam jungle10:28
pmjdebruijnrauldux: technology almost universally tends to be a poor substitute for parental oversight though11:07
pmjdebruijnalso keep in mind if you mess around a lot with PAM and friends, there is a significantly higher chance of having issues if you ever upgrade the machine to a newer version of ubuntu11:08
raulduxeish. so in the end what's the recommendation to restrict a users computing time?11:11
pmjdebruijnto consider not doing it all11:12
raulduxwhat a shame :/11:12
pmjdebruijnnot that I'm an expert on this11:12
pmjdebruijnbut somethings are better left alone, especially if you're not very experienced11:13
raulduxis this the same in other distros?11:13
pmjdebruijna wrong pam configuration seriously compromises the security of machines11:13
pmjdebruijnrauldux: of course11:13
pmjdebruijnas I said, technology is a poor substitude for oversight, which is probably why there isn't much effort going into this11:14
pmjdebruijnbut that's just an observation11:14
raulduxyes obviously, that's why I didn't wana touch pam in first place11:14
pmjdebruijndon't kid yourself that any other solution won't potentially compromise a machine11:14
pmjdebruijnit's a still a HUGE amount of trust you'd need to place in the creator of $SOLUTION11:15
pmjdebruijnbut feel free to stick around11:15
pmjdebruijnmaybe someone else has more experience / better advice11:15
slickymasterWorkrauldux, if you don't want to add the PPA, you can grab the Timekpr deb from http://ppa.launchpad.net/mjasnik/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/t/timekpr/11:17
rauldux"don't kidd yourself that any other solution won't potentially compromise a machine" <--- this is a little absolute isn't it? I believe there should be something possible11:21
raulduxthx anyway pmj11:21
raulduxthx slicky, have u tried it?11:22
slickymasterWorknopes, never had the need11:23
slickymasterWorkbut as you're reluctant with adding the PPA, thought that it could be an option11:24
knomefwiw, it's the exact same package :P11:24
raulduxyes slicky, definetely dont wanna add ppa's. dont wana mess up the system by broken deb's eihter. will think about it.11:27
raulduxfwiw??11:27
slickymasterWorkfwiw -> for what it's worth11:29
raulduxtrue, same package. but no need to add ppa11:30
raulduxjust dont like the concept of ppa.11:31
DocScrutinizer05I don't see what's the big problem with counting login time and occasionally lock screen without re-login on same day14:45

DocScrutinizer05or whatever14:48
DocScrutinizer05nice collection of pretty simple approaches: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/150705/restrict-the-times-a-user-is-allowed-to-log-in15:00
kaosineugh I hate when someone pings everyone in a channel like mazey did earlier. There's always one every week or so...15:07
DocScrutinizer05or you use `last` and do a little parsing on its output to add up login times for a particular user15:07
DocScrutinizer05just log out those users that expired their contingent, every minute. Will make your kids give up on trying to browse internet or play games, pretty quickly15:08
MenzadorGridCube: Well, I guess I won't be commenting there anymore, because I have no idea what hva star DGF is actually for, nor do I know how to set up hvilket parti stemte enstemmig for DLD16:37
MenzadorWrong tab, sorry16:38
raulduxthx Doc17:21

PerigeeAnyone know if there is a way to install Xubuntu onto a USB stick? Not just copy the iso to it and run it in the "Try Xubuntu" mode, but actually install it onto the USB stick as the drive. I've been trying to get Pen Drive Linux working with it with no luck so far.19:59
xanguaPerigee: just run the installer and select a second USB drive, assuming you're using the first one to boot20:01
flocculantPerigee: be careful where you put grub20:21
PerigeeHey everyone, I'm trying to get Xubuntu loaded on my desktop which has an Nvidia graphics card. Upon boot of the USB stick that has the installer, the screen goes black after a few seconds and gets stuck. It sounds like I need to set nomodeset or other parameters. How do I get into the config for that as it boots?23:56
Unit193It should give a little icon at the bottom for about 3 seconds, you should hit Esc (or Shift? can't remember right now) then it'll bring up a menu with isolinux's version of Try or Install.  Hit F6 or so here, then esc and now you're free to enter that boot option.23:58
PerigeeYeah I get the icon with the person at the bottom. Been smacking the keyboard... lol23:59
PerigeeLet me try Esc23:59
