Comments:
<0> bjv: On a machine with just one user, I can see absolutely NO reason to use sudo instead of a proper root account
<1> babo: oh its ok thanks for replying anyhow :)
<2> iplgecko: well, yes - I'd be interested
<3> AAA: lol, ok
<1> babo: I was trying to instal steam and CSS but I need to add tahoma.ttf
<1> babo: before anything
<4> haveing problems with steam and wine at the moment
<2> iplgecko: oh, ok - good luck ...
<1> babo: thanks
<4> says it will run but when i get to last disk it doesnt see the files on it
<5> shreevatsa: i just log into my machine as root, and su into my user account, it 'is' still a strategic reduction of privileges.
<6> Kumo and you can switch runlevels without rebooting to test, just use init 2 and it will go through your init files in rc2
<5> shreevatsa: even though i do it in reverse, from the normal way.
<3> AAA: sudo init 2
<6> bjv holy cow, you live very dangerously!!!
<0> bjv: lol
<6> Kumo yeah, that should do it
<5> shreevatsa: i guess i could just run X and read emails as root. but my user account has everything *like gaim settings* stored in .dotfiles
<3> AAA: I did it
<7> good morning folks
<6> Kumo and it is going through the services then?
<4> morning
<8> is there a reason Ubuntu has firefox 1.0.7 as default browser? and apt doesn't see that it needs an upgrade
<7> jerry_ morning
<5> /root/.whatever is just for this machine but /home/username/.dotfiles is something i can copy, mount out, and take with me to other machines.
<0> bjv: I log in normally (user account), but to become root, I've set up a two-letter alias ("ssh root@... ")
<5> i guess otherwise i would just use root, and forget this whole su thing
<9> sontek, because the newest version of firefox in the repos is 1.0.7
<6> shreevatsa that is smart
<3> AAA: I cannot see any output, do I have to see anything?
<9> !tell sontek about FF1.5
<8> DBO, why not 1.5
<5> shreevatsa: alias?
<5> shreevatsa: i didnt think of that. :P
<7> if i use the shutdown -h now option is everything I have been working on saved?
<7> DBO: happy easter
<6> bjv yeah, cat ~/.bashrc
<3> AAA: do I have to see something here?
<9> bliss1_, says you =P
<6> bliss1_ if you saved it =p
<10> hi all
<5> shreevatsa: i wonder what is more dangerous. trading private keys between machines and doing p***wordless logins
<4> not sure i just check the save option on restart
<9> hi southern
<10> pls help, it seems my squid jammed...
<5> shreevatsa: or aliasing srdm to ssh user:P***word@randommachine
<10> I can't remove it
<7> AAA: how to save it? updatedb?
<6> Kumo you should, it's been a while since I did that, just reboot ... I am tired, brain i s d y i n g...
<11> sethk: can I please get some more help on getting up to FF 1.5 ?
<7> DBO: well your here thats happy
<12> patrick24601, ask, someone will know the answer
<9> !tell patrick24601 about FF1.5
<11> I have EasyUbuntu installed so I believe that my universe and all that jazz is straightened out
<6> bliss1_ that has nothing to do with your work, that simply updates your files on your box. as long as you saved your OO doc or whatever you are good to go
<12> bliss1_, updatedb only updates the file database, that's only used by locate to search for files
<5> with the alias, your p***words would be stored in plaintext in the .rc ...
<11> thats DBO xo
<11> thanks dbo xo
<3> AAA: ok I'll try it now, and I'll tell you how was
<5> i guess to compramise either method you would need to be able to read the users home directory.
<6> bjv not if you had keys set up or keyboard auth
<9> patrick24601, if that xo is meaning hugs and kisses you better be female, otherwise I only take payment in coffee =P
<6> bjv and crack the ssh key ....
<5> keys are stored in your home directory too, though
<6> encrypted
<5> if you can read someones .bashrc
<5> you can copy their ssh keys too
<11> coffee then - large and black
<6> no no no don't put p***wd's there...
<0> bjv: But it's just one single machine. (alias rt='ssh -X root@localhost -i ~/.ssh/id_for_root')
<5> :P
<6> you need the hash and the salt silly
<12> bjv, not necessarily. if they have sense they'll have changed the permissions
<7> AAA: thing is rebbot does not work I could tell you the story but for simplicity whats the diffrence between reboot and shutdown?
<0> bjv: And the ssh-key is not in my .bashrc! :p
<7> sethk: thanks
<6> bliss1_ uh...one recycles power the other halts the box
<13> shreevatsa: what are you doing?
<14> !mount
<15> I heard mount is the command to add partitions to your filesystem - for full instructions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingANewHardDrive For mounting windows partitions, see !windowsdrives or http://tinyurl.com/bly9f
<13> shreevatsa: its in .ssh
<5> yeah.
<0> poningru: Yes
<5> which is in your home directory
<5> and is everyway exactly as secure as the .baschrc
<0> bjv: Yeah, but if someone can already read all *my* files (which means that have my p***word), they can also do sudo, anyway
<10> update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/squid: file does not exist
<10> invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/squid not found.
<10> dpkg: error processing squid (--configure):
<5> shreevatsa: yah.
<10> I can't reinstall and remove JAMMED
<7> AAA: ok so not much diffrence
<5> shreevatsa: i guess they both have the same Achilles heel
<6> ok, you think jtr is gonna crack rc5 with one computer before the box gets shut off or the hacker is caught? jeez it is called ssh for a reason
<10> how can I repair squid?
<0> bjv: My .bashrc is world-readable, but not the ssh-key.
<16> anyone know of a free DynDNS updater for Ubuntu?
<5> oh. why on earth is your .bashrc world readable?
<9> Cooner750, noip does have one
<6> southern do you even know what squid is? and why didn't you finish installing it, and why exactly do you need it?
<17> Even if you have the ssh key dont you still need the log in?
<17> or p***word
<7> AAA: i am doing a howto and the final command is shutdown -r now but I cannot so i will do shutdown -h now
<18> I had dma enabled on my dvd rom drive and it was working. now today all of a sudden DMA stopped being enabled and I cant get it to be enabled. Why would it do that and how can I get it back to normal?
<6> bjv cause that is the debian default =p
<0> bjv: Actually, I'm not even sure it is... let me check :)
<19> the uodate manager said:::>W: GPG error: http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl breezy-seveas Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 49A120FD1135D466
<10> squid is a proxy/cache and I need it
<19> wht does tha mean?
<4> you have to enable dma
<4> then save it to the config
<6> method| edit the /etc/init/d/hdparm file to suit your needs then restart that service
<20> can i install ubuntu on a separate partion of a drive connected as slave?
<18> AAA: I already tried that
<10> AAA: do you know why I can't remove it?
<18> AAA: how can I restart the service?
<19> wht is public key?>>> NO_PUBKEY 49A120FD1135D466
<21> hi
<12> method|, you can run hdparm at the command line and turn on DMA mode.
<21> how can i extend my ubuntu ext3 partition?
<4> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DMA
<6> method| what does hdparm -d say? if it says off you didn't edit the script proper or hdparm is not in /etc/init.d/rc2.d
<12> method|, but the only way it would be off is if you updated your kernel and goofed
<18> i dont remember updating my kernel
<4> mine was off by default
<18> i have done a yum update though
<18> i dont know if that updates the kernel
<18> the thing that confuses me is that is was working yesterday
<18> now it wont work
<22> My monitor can handle resolutions higher than 1024x768, yet they're not shown. Have I done something wrong?
<4> had to set it whne i configured xine
<18> and i get this error when i try hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc
<18> HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
<6> southern yeah there is an argument to apt-get (I forget) you can also put it in your /etc/apt.conf file and tell it to ignore keys, or you can just import the key and tell apt about it
<7> AAA: did you see my last post to you
<22> I've installed the nvidia drivers
<6> method| sudo
<4> ya actually have to muck about with nvidia
<18> AAA: i am root
<4> lemme get the invida config page i used
<22> Anyone willing to do a little newbie hand-holding?
<6> method| and you get that error? makey no sense. bliss1_ no
<4> http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch04.html#id2531664
<21> how can i extend my ubuntu ext3 partition?
<6> gpart
<6> conmiweb gpart will do that for you if you mean make it larger or smaller
<18> AAA: i know :/
<6> method| oh oh oh, that drive doesn't support dma then, do an -i on it
<7> AAA; : i am doing a howto and the final command is shutdown -r now but I cannot so i will do shutdown -h now
<21> i ussed live gparted, but it only let me do ir smaller
