<2> if I had the M$ bucks I would be publishing tons of articles just like that one
<3> or, what is the new time zone config ?
<4> IdleOne: tons are published - and don't forget AdTI, the little think tank that couldn't ;)
<5> Personally I read these 'is linux the next security trainwreck?' articles as an indication that people are starting to think 'hey I could use that linux stuff on *my* desktop'
<5> And *of course* they have to ask the security question as they think it over
<4> quux: no such thing as bad publicity, huh? ;)
<6> next security trainwreck? - ohyea.. windows is the first...
<6> :P
<2> in the first graph Windows is mentioned 2 times as being more secure of the less secure
<7> this is clearly firefighting after all the high-publicity windows security debacles
<8> aye, which I don't agree with.. but then it does get positive for linux
<7> also given how heavily MS is advertising on this site i really have to question their impartiality
<9> I knew the CEO of a Fortune 50 company. His username and p***word on the company network were each one character in length, that character was his initial, and the security folks weren't allowed to change it. Does it matter which OS ran on his computer, or which NOS on the network?
<5> Exactly
<8> lol
<10> Breezy-CA: some CEOs are just stupid :P
<9> Oh, and as for the whole "security by obscurity" argument: I knew all that at the time.
<6> after uploading the animal-porn to his machine every day for a month.. yua think he would figure it out...
<6> :P
<5> As linux begins to make inroads to less-savvy user groups ... well, it's gonna have the same conceptual issues to resolve
<6> CEO: Ok - what virus changed my wallpaper again
<5> If that CEO's data were broken into, you can bet he would blame the OS and not himself
<9> Sure thing.
<2> the fact that linux is FREE makes it the better choice..the ppl who spend there lives working on these OS'es dont do it for the money so I would think that if you do something out of pure satisfaction you will make it the best you can..but we are only human so there will be mistakes made and security issues to contend with but thats why we are all here
<11> hey guys, those how write the virus probably use linux....
<10> quux: he could order it :-)
<12> tonyyarusso: it was a script install from cvs
<12> i deleted the folder it was in
<12> but the menu entry remains
<13> i have a printer that doesnt work with ubuntu. would installing wine possibly allow me to get it to work?
<14> Quick script help: How do I retain every third line of some output and skip the rest?
<6> VR, check the CUPS web site - to see how supported the printer is.
<13> Dr_Willis cups?
<9> Fred Cohen talked about a virus - I think it was just theoretical - hope so - that would target, for example, spreadsheets owned by the CEO, and randomly change a few bytes of data in every third one. ... CEO gets a reputation for unreliability, carelessness, or what have you, takes the Golden Exit, and the next in line - who wrote the virus - moves up ...
<6> VR, yes - "CUPS" is the printing system. :P its not 'ubuntu' supporting printers.. its 'cups'
<13> Dr_Willis the printer would run if i installed turboprint, but that costs money and im looking for a free alternative
<10> !print
<7> and CUPS probably suppors your printer
<15> print is, like, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters or http://www.linuxprinting.org
<6> http://www.cups.org/
<16> s
<6> in many ways the CUPS printing system is so much nicer then windows. :)
<17> VR: what's the make/model of the printer?
<10> Dr_Willis: works for me
<13> Madpilot canon i70
<6> Xenguy, rarelyu given me any h***les.. and i had to download a 124mb DRiver for the wifes HP printer for her XP machine! egads. :P
<13> sheesh 124mb
<6> Xenguy, comapred to cups.. thats outrageous
<10> Dr_Willis: wow
<6> VR, and it installed this lame photo ediing stuff - that she dident want. but we cant remove.
<17> VR: it doesn't seem to be listed at http://www.linuxprinting.org...
<6> ok..it was pringitn and the 'scanner' drivers.. but still...
<13> Madpilot i know, yeah
<18> hi all
<13> which is why im asking ;\
<12> anyone how do i remove gdm entries?
<6> Jambon, they are somthing.desktop files in some dir :)
<18> just booted but unable to go till gdmlogin, gdm closes abruptly.. but did a startx after a 'sudo su' works perfect
<13> Madpilot do you have any suggestions, as to what the heck i could do
<6> Jambon, i keep forgeting where - however.. use 'locate' to find the file. its like /usr/share/Xsession/ or somthing.
<8> http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=179101817&cid=RSSfeed_IWK_Software What's this about?
<6> Jambon, if you are refering to the 'window manager' entries - that is.
<17> VR: tried the Canon website or Google yet?
<6> googling now for VR. :) its not looking good...
<7> CaptainMorgan: it's cuz Linus is not anti-DRM and RMS is
<13> Madpilot , yeah, the only thing i found was "turboprint," but that costs $$
<8> graft, over my head..
<13> not MUCH, but im trying to find a free alternative
<12> Dr_Willis: actually when i sign on e17 is an entry. but since i deleted the folder it was installed to the entry is useless
<4> CaptainMorgan: linus and rms do not agree about everything, news at 11
<6> Jambon, use 'locate' and look for 'e17.desktop' perhaps.
<6> Jambon, or 'gnome.desktop' it should be in the same dir as that.
<6> VR, are you refering to http://www.easysw.com/printpro/ ?
<13> Dr_Willis , no, this right here http://www.turboprint.info/
<6> VR, http://www.easysw.com/printpro/ - says its unsupported. :(
<6> We are currently unable to provide support for your Canon i70 due to a lack of information and support from Canon.
<13> damn you canon
<2> lol
<2> return your printer and tell them its because they dont support linux
<13> yeah i should
<6> please send a politely worded letter to Canon
<19> hey everyone! i can't access my windows partitions as a normal user (i can only do it as root). i've already edited my fstab, putting "user" in the <options> column of the partitions in question... what else do i need to do to get this to work?
<13> except i bought it 3 years ago or something
<6> lol.. yea - thats what i would do!
<6> heck 3 yrs old.. its junk! :p
<20> noclip: try umask=000 instead of user
<6> it will never get linux support. You are lucky to find ink for it.
<13> "dear canon, go f* yourselves, your printer doesnt work under ubuntu"
<18> just booted but unable to go till gdmlogin, gdm closes abruptly.. but did a startx after a 'sudo su' works perfect, does anyone know whats happenning
<2> hahahaha
<6> wont umask=000 - do Nothing? since its a empty mask?
<6> umask=0222 seems common
<2> VR: that should get them on the freaking ball
<2> lol
<20> Dr_Willis: read man umask, or other documentation
<4> VR: did ubuntu exist when that printer was made? ;)
<13> yeah, theyd probably turn me in to homeland security as a terrorist
<6> HappyFool, there umask in the fstab.. or on the command line.. :P
<13> amphi not sure, i bought it in... i think it was 2003/04
<21> alo
<19> (no manual entry for umask, by the way)
<4> VR: ah, you fear the Heimatssicherheitsdienst ;)
<21> hai
<22> help umask, since it's a builtin
<6> No manual entry for umask
<6> lol!
<6> :P
<20> there is if you install the manpages-dev
<20> *shrug*
<13> amphi hah, yeah
<19> (by the way, i'd only like to allow read access to normal users...)
<23> anyone here using a radeon 8500, fglrx combo that can read back some glxgear output fot me?
<10> ubotu: terrorist is very scary fear-based post-hypnotic suggestion...
<15> okay, Xenguy
<13> ubotu make my printer work
<15> Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, VR
<13> ubotu damn you!
<15> NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, VR
<13> :~(
<24> !botabuse
<15> You can play with me in /msg or #debian-bots without being banned.
<13> oh, i was approaching a ban
<24> howdy KingBahamut
<13> how strict
<24> VR: heh
<25> where does wines config file reside?
<10> VR: beg for it
<13> no ^_^
<10> heh
<2> VR: just ask it to ban you
<13> ubotu ban IdleOne
<26> ubotu: ban me please
<15> NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, VR
<15> No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, CanYouHelpMePlz
<26> !botsnack
<15> :)
<10> nyuck nyuck
<13> ubotu you are a ghey linux bot
<15> VR: what are you talking about?
<19> ok, so if i want normal users to only have read access to my windows partitions, should i use umask=0222?
<27> this chan is LAME
<13> jesus damn it, it looks like i'll have to install winblows just for a printer
<22> noclip: no, 7-2=5= read and execute
<2> ba we aim to please
<13> ba, that was low
<22> noclip: but that is probably what you want...
<10> !lart ba
