[14:18] <nzoueidi> Hello folks, I wanna know if the package glibc version 2.15-0ubuntu10.18 is vulnerable to buffer overflow or not, specifically to the ghost vulnerability?


[12:10] <Mekaneck> Can someone take care of tomreyn: seriously, can't you have a chat with the mods/ops about jailbreak aka Deano59 aka Chunkyz and his behaviour? After all this time i just had enough of him. Ignore doesn't really work for me personally. On freenode he once apologized to me and we settled things but now he starts again.
[12:11] <Mekaneck> Now he started to send me unwanted PM's.
[12:14] <Mekaneck> i know me reactions towards him in PM aren't as nice either but i'm fedup with him: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/J8X9xnXyFT/
[12:14] <Mekaneck> he doesn't seem to stop sending PM's
[12:18] <jailbreak> some Mekaneck is carrying on in #ubuntu-offtopic and saying he's reporting me for unwanted pm's (nothing to do with the channel) and now I see he's saying I'm a troll publicly. why is this allowed? "i thought we settled all of this on freenode, remember? But you can't seem to stop and won't change at all which is just sad. As i said in the channel, once a troll always a troll.
 :-D
[12:22] <Mekaneck> jailbreak: if you have some balls then paste everything like i did so it stays in context and not just one pathetic piece of the conversation
[12:22] <jailbreak> anyway, just wanted to say that. sorry if I broke any rules.
[12:24] <Mekaneck> i saw that i forgot to remove " tomreyn: seriously, can't you have a chat with the mods/ops about" from the line... but you get what i mean.
[13:25] <Mekaneck> oh and also from last week, where he started with his behaviour again while i did nothing at all, pointing the middle finger at me (virtually): https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5Vnj3PTsn5/
[13:26] <Mekaneck> says enough imo
[21:09] <Mekaneck> since i still didn't get any response from you ops i'll leave the channel, you can contact me in #ubuntu-irc on the matter. The point is something needs to be done about jailbreak.


[07:16] <ducasse> good morning
[07:32] <Bashing-om> I wanndered back to be delighted by the presence of ducasse :)
[07:32] <ducasse> morning, Bashing-om - how are things?
[07:36] <Bashing-om> Slow .. - that time of the morning I guess .. things continue to go round in your world ?
[07:38] <ducasse> yep, waking up and drinking tea. no big plans for the day, just relaxing at home.
[07:51] <Bashing-om> Relaxing at home is a good thing . Watching over #ubuntu even better . Me, I am done and contemplating some sheet time .
[07:53] <ducasse> do that. this time of day on a weekend there's not much action anyway.
[09:40] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:42] <ducasse> \o lordievader
[09:42] <lordievader> Hey ducasse, how are you?
[09:43] <ducasse> good, thanks. relaxing and watching 'theory of obscurity'. great stuff :)
[09:44] <lordievader> Theory of obscurity?
[09:45] <ducasse> documentary about the residents.

[12:45] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[22:27] <OerHeks> i noticed kali users refuse to read manuals
[22:48] <daftykins> :D
[22:48] <daftykins> OerHeks: but they're super pro hackers in the making, they have no time for manuals!
[22:49] <OerHeks> I am not even drunk yet
[22:49] <OerHeks> oops, wrong glass, now i am
[22:49] <daftykins> :O
[23:05] <OerHeks> The chihuahua's love the snow, so they sleep outside tonight, gna gna
[23:05] <daftykins> hehe


[12:55] <lns> LaserJock, is there anythign special i need to do when using pessulus to apply settings? I tried disabling commandline, but it isn't working at all
[12:55] <LaserJock> lns: hmm, I'm not really sure
[12:55] <LaserJock> I haven't used pessulus, just sabayon
[12:56] <lns> oh ok
[01:00] <lns> unless i'm missing something, it doesn't look like pessulus works at all
[01:00] <lns> i set something, exit (even set as mandatory value) something like disable commandline or disable print setup, but it has no effect
[01:00] <lns> weird
[01:05] <lns> weirder - even changing in gconf-editor doesn't do anything..i must be missing something
[02:44] <petre> I installed edubuntu from the live cd
[02:44] <petre> I'm working on remastering the CD also
[02:44] <a5benwillis> hello
[02:44] <petre> I've got all the files copied over from the cd
[02:44] <petre> but i'm having some trouble with apt-get
[02:45] <petre> specifically, when I'm in the chroot environment, aptitude search * lists 2595 packages
[02:46] <a5benwillis> apt-get -s install 'package'
[02:46] <a5benwillis> ops
[02:46] <petre> but if I run the same command in my regular environment, it lists only 127
[02:46] <petre> 127 makes no sense
[02:46] <a5benwillis> wrong window
[02:49] <petre> oddly, in the normal environment, I can install kgeography, but in the chroot environment, apt says it can't find any such package
[03:16] <a5benwillis> anybody here?
[03:18] <Burgwork> a5benwillis: yep
[03:20] <a5benwillis> do you know what copile time options are required of SSH for edubuntu?
[03:20] <a5benwillis> Im reinstalling from source
[04:13] <LaserJock> a5benwillis: what do you mean?
[04:40] <petre> is /etc/apt/sources.list the only file that tells aptitude where to look for packages?
[04:41] <LaserJock> basically yeah
[04:43] <petre> that's what I figured, but I can't figure out why my chroot-into-copy-of-livecd sees less than the installed system, wrt apt
[04:44] <petre> when is feisty due out?
[04:44] <petre> both chroot and regular system has the same sources.list file
[04:44] <petre> s/s/ve/
[04:47] <LaserJock> feisty is do in April
[04:47] <LaserJock> *due
[04:47] <LaserJock> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule
[04:48] <petre> do you know where I can find the list of packages/versions scheduled to be in feisty?
[07:02] <cbx33> hmm
[07:03] <cbx33> ping burgwork
[07:11] <LaserJock> hi cbx33
[12:35] <TeePOG> good afternoon
[02:53] <rockprincess> hello all!
[02:57] <Petaris> What is the desktop install iso called?
[02:58] <ogra> up to edgy its called live ... since feisty its called desktop
[02:58] <Petaris> ahh
[02:58] <Petaris> ok
[02:58] <Petaris> so you boot the live cd and install from there like with xubuntu?
[03:01] <ogra> for a workstation install, yes
[03:03] <Petaris> right, workstation is close enough functionally to ltsp to test the OpenLDAP stuff right?
[03:07] <ogra> well ... workstation is a workstation, no ltsp involved ... to get ltsp going with ldap you need to tweak the ssh pam settings ... for a workstation you use the gdm pam settings
[03:09] <Petaris> ahh, so I really do need the LTSP version installed to test
[03:09] <Petaris> bugger
[03:09] <Petaris> ok
[03:09] <Petaris> I need to find a machine
[03:14] <ogra> Petaris, just install openssh-server and ssh to localhost ;)
[03:14] <ogra> keep the setting for your ltsp then ;)
[04:01] <bddebian> Heya
[04:04] <a5benwillis> hi
[05:17] <admin1> On edgy, I accidently deleted a user account, afterward, I recreated the account, but I am unable to change the password using the users and groups applet..
[06:06] <LaserJock> ogra: around?
[06:15] <pscheie> can I remove the french language packs without breaking anything?
[06:15] <pscheie> I don't speak french so they're of no use to me
[06:15] <LaserJock> pscheie: as long as you don't need them ;-)
[06:15] <pscheie> I mean language-pack-fr language-pack-gnome-fg and language-pack-kde-fr
[06:16] <LaserJock> I don't think it should be a problem
[06:16] <LaserJock> it might take out some other packages that depend on those
[06:16] <pscheie> I just want to avoid having any errors pop up when starting up an app
[06:16] <pscheie> errors like 'can't find french support' which I don't care about any way
[06:17] <pscheie> guess I'll try it and see what happens
[06:36] <nixternal> !seen RichEd
[06:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seen riched - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:36] <nixternal> @seen RichEd
[06:36] <nixternal> damn you bots
[06:40] <LaserJock> nixternal: he's just not here
[06:45] <Dante123> hi...i'm a teacher and I am looking for software that reads text.....I have the screen reader stuff but that reads the windows and dialogues etc.....I need something to read highlighted text...any suggestions?
[06:46] <Dante123> I have festival on here.....I am running ubuntu 6.10 too
[06:46] <LaserJock> hmm
[06:48] <Dante123> I have LSR for gnome on this machine too
[06:50] <LaserJock> I don't know of one right off
[06:51] <nixternal> LaserJock: no really? :p
[06:52] <LaserJock> Dante123: I would imagine the Ubuntu accesibility guys would know
[06:59] <Dante123> thanks laser....I can try there...
[07:00] <Dante123> I figured that i had everything installed that I needed....and I do get the voice thing working......I just thought there was a way of highlighting text and having it read....but that doesn't seem to be what LSR does.....just the window/os stuff
[07:01] <LaserJock> Dante123: there should be an app for that, I just don't know what
[07:44] <highvoltage> LaserJock: I read about a new laser today and wanted to post the link to you, but now I just can't find it
[07:55] <cliebow_> any good way to unpack an rpm?
[07:56] <a5benwillis> right click andclick extract here?
[07:57] <highvoltage> cliebow_: you can use mc
[07:57] <cliebow_> ah
[07:57] <highvoltage> or even cpio
[07:57] <cliebow_> yeah was just looking at cpio and rpm2cpio
[07:58] <highvoltage> but if the right-click-extract works, that's probably the easiest :)
[07:58] <highvoltage> but I usually use mc (old habits die hard)
[07:59] <cliebow_> no..wont unpack it in edgy anyway..
[08:01] <cbx33> ping Burgwork
[08:01] <Burgwork> cbx33: pong
[08:01] <cbx33> i didn't see you this mornin
[08:01] <cbx33> did you speak to deb?
[08:02] <Burgwork> I emailed her
[08:02] <Burgwork> I fell asleep on the keyboard reviewing last night
[08:02] <cbx33> oh dear
[08:02] <cbx33> was it that bad?
[08:02] <cbx33> ;)
[08:02] <highvoltage> won't be the first time that happens :)
[08:02] <Burgwork> no, I am just really tired due to this office move
[08:03] <cbx33> so what should I do, I sent her all the images yesterday
[08:03] <cbx33> but I havn't heard back from her or kim
[08:03] <Burgwork> I will review it tonight
[08:03] <cbx33> sorry Burgwork
[08:03] <cbx33> will you send it off to her?
[08:03] <Burgwork> nothing for you to apologize aobut
[08:03] <Burgwork> yep
[08:03] <cbx33> well giving you extra work :p
[08:03] <Burgwork> did you cc me on the images?
[08:03] <cbx33> no
[08:03] <cbx33> but I can do
[08:03] <cbx33> 1.3Mb Zip
[08:03] <highvoltage> Burgwork: now is a real good time to come work in .za, with the entire government switching to open source and all
[08:03] <cbx33> *bah* /me had to fight the temptation to tar them up
[08:04] <Burgwork> highvoltage: indeed. I am still planning it
[08:04] <highvoltage> Burgwork: kewl
[08:04] <Burgwork> right now I am just heads down with the office move
[08:04] <Burgwork> we are rewiring 1700 sq ft of office space
[08:04] <highvoltage> ouch
[08:04] <highvoltage> no wonder you're tired
[08:04] <Burgwork> there is already conduit on the walls, so it is pretty good
[08:04] <Burgwork> then we need to install all the new furniture, etc.
[08:05] <Burgwork> highvoltage: have you played with ltsp fat clients?
[08:05] <highvoltage> I have indeed
[08:05] <highvoltage> we've implemented it in the digital doorways
[08:05] <cbx33> Burgwork, sent to you
[08:06] <cbx33> Burgwork, are you thinking of adding that to the chapter?
[08:06] <Burgwork> no, just wondering for my own sake
[08:06] <cbx33> oh hehe
[08:06] <cbx33> phew
[08:06] <cbx33> so how is the chap looking so far?
[08:06] <Burgwork> if you are nfs mouting /, how do you deal with things like static IPs?
[08:06] <Burgwork> I have no idea. I don't remember anything I did last night :)
[08:06] <cbx33> heh :) - oh man :p
[08:07] <highvoltage> Burgwork: which static IP's?
[08:07] <Burgwork> highvoltage: if you set a static IP in /etc/network/interfaces and you are nfs mounting /, you will get the same IP for each thin client
[08:07] <highvoltage> Burgwork: you specify the IP range in dhcpd.conf, and you can specify certain ip addresses to certain mac addresses
[08:07] <Burgwork> true, I forgot about that
[08:07] <highvoltage> Burgwork: ah. no, all of them use dhcp
[08:08] <Burgwork> no, I was thinking of my own office, wherein I want static IPs on the computers to facilitate ssh
[08:08] <Burgwork> currently I run pure fat clients, with desktop multiplier on them
[08:08] <Burgwork> thinking of switching to ltsp fat clients with d-m installed int eh chroot
[08:08] <highvoltage> yeah, then you could just specify the addresses to the clients in dhcpd.conf
[08:08] <Burgwork> ok
[08:09] <Burgwork> I have never installed LTSP or Edubuntu, so these are things I have never encountered
[08:09] <highvoltage> ok
[08:10] <Burgwork> I am tired of manually configuring machines
[08:10] <cbx33> heh
[08:11] <highvoltage> manually configuring and supporting machines--
[08:11] <Burgwork> that isn't bad
[08:13] <Burgwork> but I only have 3 machines with 6 users
[08:13] <Burgwork> desktop-multiplier + ltsp sounds like a great combo
[08:13] <Burgwork> now I only need to convince my boss to open source it...
[08:13] <highvoltage> that sounds like a tough job!
[08:14] <Burgwork> very much so
[08:14] <cbx33> what is desktop-multplier
[08:15] <Burgwork> multiseat X
[08:15] <cbx33> ooooooooh
[08:15] <cbx33> i was looking for that the other day i believe
[08:15] <Burgwork> http://userful.com/products/multi-station-how-it-works
[08:17] <cbx33> free too
[08:17] <Burgwork> looking forward to working with a better product, highvoltage :)
[08:17] <highvoltage> cbx33: ubuntu has a less glamerous multi-seat solution too
[08:17] <highvoltage> Burgwork: I'
[08:17] <highvoltage> oops
[08:17] <Burgwork> there is also stuff in X, cbx33
[08:17] <highvoltage> Burgwork: I have some updates for you, but I'll pm you a bit later!
[08:17] <cbx33> nice
[08:18] <cbx33> Burgwork, so how fast a machine do you need realistically?
[08:18] <Burgwork> http://linuxgazette.net/124/smith.html
[08:18] <highvoltage> cbx33: apt-cache show multiseat
[08:18] <Burgwork> be nice to kick that work up again
[08:18] <Burgwork> cbx33: depends on what you want to do
[08:18] <cbx33> ok
[08:18] <Burgwork> 256mb per user, usually
[08:18] <cbx33> i gotta go do some paid work now
[08:18] <cbx33> I'll bbl
[08:18] <Burgwork> however, we don't ship computers with less than 1gig
[08:18] <Burgwork> highvoltage: have you played with the multiseat package?
[08:19] <highvoltage> Burgwork: only once
[08:19] <highvoltage> Burgwork: when it was released
[08:19] <Burgwork> and?
[08:19] <highvoltage> Burgwork: and it didn't work :)
[08:19] <Burgwork> oh
[08:19] <Burgwork> multiseat frequently does
[08:19] <Burgwork> not work, that is
[08:19] <highvoltage> Burgwork: but I believe it has been fixed in the meantime, I haven't tried it since, though
[08:33] <cliebow_> Burgwork: that is in feisty? mu;ltiseat?
[08:33] <Burgwork> cliebow_: multiseat and desktop-multiplier are both in feisty
[08:33] <Burgwork> ms has been around since warty, dm since dapper
[08:33] <Burgwork> ms is Free, dm is merely free
[08:45] <LaserJock> highvoltage: nifty laser? sounds fun
[08:45] <LaserJock> where is OGRA?!? :-)
[08:45] <cliebow_> Italy
[08:46] <LaserJock> well, I just want him in here now,  I don't care where he is physically ;-)
[08:46] <cliebow_> 8~)
[08:47] <LaserJock> I think I'm going to have to move to Europe just so I can be at a better Ubuntu time zone
[08:47] <cliebow_> never can get an ogre when you need one.....
[08:47] <highvoltage> LaserJock: it's the weekend! ogra needs some rest
[08:47] <LaserJock> either that or I'm going to have to convince Mark to move Canonical to Vegas ;-)
[08:47] <LaserJock> highvoltage: it is? oh that's right :/
[08:47] <highvoltage> LaserJock: I'm sure there's many canonical staffers that won't object :)
[08:48] <highvoltage> LaserJock: I normally notice it's weekend when people quiet down and I can get back to work
[09:09] <cbx33> is ogra back from italy now?
[09:11] <cbx33> Burgwork, one more question
[09:11] <cbx33> basically there isn't anything for me to do today on book is there?
[10:51] <pscheie> on the edubuntu live cd, what creates the 'installer' icon on the desktop?
[10:51] <pscheie> put another way, how do I get rid of it?
[11:52] <SnrWhippy> anyone installed vmware workstation 6 on edgy?
[11:58] <SnrWhippy> heloooo!!
[11:59] <LaserJock> I haven't, sorry
[12:01] <SnrWhippy> no worries its quiet in here today
[12:03] <SnrWhippy> theres an rpm and a tar.gz what should i use
[12:03] <LaserJock> hmm
[12:04] <LaserJock> I'd go with tar.gz personally
[12:04] <LaserJock> but if that didn't work so swell I might use alien on the rpm
[12:04] <SnrWhippy> yeah ok i started alien but i chickened
[12:04] <SnrWhippy> is it easy to clean up if it all goes bad
[12:05] <cbx33> do it from tar
[12:05] <SnrWhippy> yeah ok will try that
[12:06] <SnrWhippy> i'll let you know how badly it fails
[12:08] <SnrWhippy> anyone use checkinstall instead of make
[12:09] <LaserJock> SnrWhippy: I have
[12:10] <LaserJock> SnrWhippy: it works ok for simple packages for personal use
[12:10] <SnrWhippy> oh ok
[12:10] <SnrWhippy> vmware maybe not then
[12:15] <cbx33> SnrWhippy, vmware is pee easy to install via the tar
[12:16] <SnrWhippy> really?
[12:16] <cbx33> yes
[12:16] <cbx33> its' a wizard
[12:17] <SnrWhippy> eh? workstation 6?
[12:17] <cbx33> untar and run
[12:17] <cbx33> vmware-install.pl
[12:17] <cbx33> as root
[12:17] <cbx33> easy peasy :p
[12:17] <cbx33> much nicer than any other source install
[12:18] <SnrWhippy> :)
