try latest trunk. use build-helper all and when it's done tell me if in the last lines, when it's building the upk it mentions an error that it exceeeds the SZ_7M mark.

[12:50]

<crweb>

should i use dash or bash?

[12:50]

bash

[12:50]

<crweb>

ok, we are testing the actual build

[12:50]

yes

[12:50]

as for the spammer, ok for the block

[12:50]

<crweb>

new codecs i see

[12:50]

<crweb>

or atleast plugins

[12:50]

maybe they forgot to strip or something ?

[12:51]

<crweb>

well, stripping still fails on mine because the rootfs moved

[12:51]

<crweb>

err, at least it was when we were testing last week

[12:51]

try doing an "all" with the build-helper

[12:52]

i think it's not failing anymore

[12:52]

<crweb>

will do

[12:52]

with bash

[12:52]

<crweb>

its still upping

[12:52]

ok

[12:52]

<crweb>

you mean SZ_17 mark?

[12:52]

<crweb>

its suppose to be larger than 7M

[12:53]

<crweb>

eh, we'll just wait

[12:53]

well, i never noticed it before. and the problem with me with that message is that when i try to flash it, it gives me bad checksum

[12:53]

<crweb>

i was seeing it with my NAS firmware

[12:53]

<crweb>

a while back

[12:59]

well, let me know how it goes

[13:00]

<crweb>

they should really make a reinstall for apt-get

[13:01]

<crweb>

building right now

[13:10]

Hi everyone

[13:11]

<crweb>

hello

[13:12]

I've been disconected from the project for about one year, so anyone could tell me if there has been any advance on the videoconference functionality=

[13:12]

?

[13:12]

was it ever even planned ?

[13:13]

it was discussed.. :)

[13:13]

but don't know if anyone continued with the investigation or not

[13:13]

<crweb>

asteri something works

[13:14]

<crweb>

nerochiaro: you know that the file move was /usr/local/samba/sbin not /usr/local/sbin and that i made links to the samba tools in /sbin/ to replace the files i moved right?

[13:15]

<crweb>

i don't think /usr/local/sbin even exists..

[13:15]

sgarcia: i don't think it was followed thru

[13:15]

crweb: whoops

[13:15]

<crweb>

we'll pretend it was 2 different topics ;)

[13:15]

crweb: but my point about the path stands

[13:16]

crweb: no, no, feel free to shot me down

[13:16]

<crweb>

oh no, you were right

[13:16]

<crweb>

just.. context

[13:16]

<crweb>

i'll patch it

[13:17]

<crweb>

i need to start submitting more

[13:17]

Is still any interest on it?

[13:17]

<crweb>

nerochiaro: nice. the build script doesn't ask for root password until dev creation now

[13:18]

sgarcia: you're the first i hear mentioning it, so i guess not :)

[13:18]

<crweb>

sgarcia: do you count as interest?

[13:18]

jejeje

[13:18]

<crweb>

hmm.. spanish

[13:18]

crweb: which means you can't leave it running in the background

[13:19]

<crweb>

nerochiaro: is that an issue or a resolv?

[13:19]

wel.. i'm doing some developments in the video functionality for asterisk, and it woudl be very cool to have it

[13:19]

crweb: issue for me

[13:19]

<crweb>

asterisk, that was it

[13:19]

<crweb>

nerochiaro: use screen

[13:19]

crweb: don't see how it would solve this

[13:19]

<crweb>

i don't see the problem then

[13:20]

crweb: it's just as annoying as having to click Yes on the "you want to run kernel config"

[13:20]

<crweb>

ah, got it

[13:20]

<crweb>

jave we ever tried making a /etc/profile?

[13:20]

<crweb>

eh, now i'm doing the j thing

[13:21]

lol, you're turning spanish ;)

[13:22]

jeje

[13:35]

crweb: did the 7M limit message appear ?

[13:35]

<crweb>

yes

[13:36]

<crweb>

I don't believe its right though

[13:36]

<crweb>

it should be 14M

[13:36]

<crweb>

the os_ver and the app_ver don't match

[13:36]

<crweb>

thats new

[13:40]

see if the checksum from uboot is ok please

[13:43]

<crweb>

by trying to flash it?

[13:44]

* crweb gives nerochiaro a stern look.... then goes off to find his osd...

[16:01]

srobertson: you there?

[17:46]

JoeBorn: i'm here now

[17:47]

whenever things lighten up for you, I could use some instructions on that nifty server you setup in our office

[17:47]

I can upload now, but don't know how to create usernames, etc

[17:48]

good point.

[17:49]

what kinds of usernames are you referring to? samba, or unix?

[18:46]

sorry, stepped away, unix

[18:58]

JoeBorn: you know how to make user accounts on unix in general? because you should have root on the box

[19:00]

well, I've done it before, I can google it again, but I figured you'd have some fancy pants way

[19:00]

with keys and ho ha, and all sorts of prestigious complicated stuff

[19:00]

prestigious, indeed.

[19:00]

I mean, I'm really looking for prestige out of this

[19:00]

can you help me?

[19:01]

how about setting up a prestigious MOTD?

[19:01]

maybe you can set the prompt to something that just reeks of prestige...

[19:02]

do, like, a four-line prompt of caret symbols, arranged in a square rotated 45*

[19:03]

* JoeBorn sees joke whizz overhead considers asking question, decides to just play along

[19:03]

then you can say, "look, my user account has a sixteen caret diamond in it"

[19:03]

no, that one was pretty hard to miss.

[19:03]

wow, that's probably the corniest thing I've heard all year.

[19:04]

yessssssssssssssssss

[19:04]

and you are a young whippersnapper, that's like an inappropriate joke for anyone under 70

[19:04]

anyway, '# adduser -m USERNAME' is probably sufficient,

[19:05]

pfah! useradd, not adduser.

[19:05]

not that they're different on most systems

[19:06]

then, just get the contents of the user's id_dsa.pub or id_rsa.pub, and add it all on one line to ~USERNAME/.ssh/authorized_keys

[19:06]

I knew that was coming!

[19:07]

make sure permissions are set right on the home and the .ssh directory, and you're set.

[19:08]

the users home directory?

[19:09]

and define "right"

[19:09]

they should own their own home, and .ssh should be 700

[19:09]

cmon man, give an old man a hand here

[19:10]

in commands, 'chown -R USERNAME /home/USERNAME; chmod 700 /home/USERNAME/.ssh'

[19:12]

<DeepB>

hi

[19:12]

* srobertson wonders how execute was chosen to represent 'list directory'

[19:12]

there you go, bless you srobertson

[19:12]

DeepB: hi!

[19:12]

DeepB: hola

[19:12]

* JoeBorn exhausts his spanish vocabulary

[19:12]

<DeepB>

:)

[19:13]

i mean, was it like, "We NEED to have something to allow users to not enter directories but still write to them", or was it like, "We have an extra bit. Why not?"

[19:20]

srobertson: yeah, that's probably pretty much it. :)

[19:30]

* JoeBorn continues to play along

[19:31]

* JoeBorn nods knowingly

[19:34]

JoeBorn: is that all you needed to know?

[19:34]

sure, is, right until it doesn't work :)

[19:35]

I suppose I ought to try it now, before you go on another drinking/drug type binge

[19:36]

* srobertson injects HeroCaine... which is different from a speedball

[19:38]

we have a fine web admin, top of his class... he's just taking a little quality time to himself, laying in an alley urinating on himself. I assure you, he'll be entirely professional once he returns, he just needs a little "recharging the battery" time

[19:38]

* JoeBorn puts head in hands, sighs

[19:47]

* srobertson wakes up from floor

[19:47]

ok, I'm going to try this thing

[19:47]

JoeBorn: think back to who was encouraging *who* to cut loose in college

[19:48]

I am, that was serious. This is joking

[19:48]

since college wasn't invented when you were in college, i think the answer is obvious

[19:48]

* JoeBorn brandishes cane, reminds whippersnappers he still has some "fight left in him"

[19:49]

i look forward to next semester -- almost all engineering classes, and in a twist I'm sure most people here can understand,

[19:50]

that means much more free time than would GenED classes

[19:50]

maybe even some cutting loose!

[19:50]

the same line, in fact, i've told myself since sixth grade :(

[19:55]

don't worry, probably soon you'll have a wife to bust your chops about that. I assure you, that will be a big big help

[19:58]

bye, tiki...

[19:58]

* srobertson plans to start a "band" this summer, and somehow thinks that will help

[20:00]

* srobertson has been substituting caffeine for sleep again, and realizes he's being overly chatty as a result

[20:00]

* srobertson nevertheless feels compelled to write about how he should stop writing instead of actually stopping

[20:02]

remain calm all. This will pass

[20:04]

is this ok for telling folks how to generate public keys?

[20:04]

www.ornl.teragrid.org

[20:04]

for windows folk, sure

[20:05]

you could also just have them type 'ssh-keygen' on the Lenuxes

[20:13]

ok, folks I'm heading home. Tiredness has affixed itself to my crown.
