00:28.05herloso the meeting is streaming at http://stream.utos.org
00:51.37herlohttp://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-2.en.html <-- Grub2
01:26.22sontekgrub2 is a fairy tale
01:26.30sontekdon't let anyone tell you otherwise
01:26.38sontektell him not to cough into the mic! ouchiiieees
01:27.16sontekherlo: get out the eeepc and get skype up with video
01:27.58sontekI hear Heartsbane giggling
01:29.07penosomeone must have told him a funny joke, since he never giggles
01:29.21herlosontek: not on the eeps
01:29.23herloeeepc
01:29.43sontektell him to password protect grub!
01:30.31penopasswords?? what are you some kind of security freak!? ;)
01:30.33sontekyay, now i'm part of the meeting
01:30.37sontekdances
01:30.40herlolol
01:30.44peno~cookie sontek
01:30.52sonteko-/-< o-|-< o-\-<
01:31.48sontek~literal cmd: cookie (.*?)
01:43.04sontekhttp://sontek.net/aaron.png
01:43.07sontekI made a picture!
01:46.07herlolol
01:46.58sontekyou're welcome!
01:47.49sontekis he going to cover upstart in this?
01:48.02sontekdid he just say inittab?
01:48.05sontekoh, ok, hes on debian
01:48.13sontekI was like 'ubuntu doesn't have inittab!'
01:51.03sontekfight fight fight!
01:51.29sonteki'm listening to aaron in my boxers
01:52.04herlolol
01:52.13herlowe're gonna talk about upstart at the end...
01:55.11herlosontek: how's the sound?
01:55.24sontekits like i'm right there!
01:55.27sontekexcept when he coughs
01:55.32sontekthats really loud
01:57.35herloyeah, I figured that :)
01:58.28sontekin opensuse, for single user, our inittab does ~~:S:respawn:/sbin/sulogin
01:58.57sontekthats basically the same thing as doing the grub password, isn't it?
01:59.01sontekor is there a way around it?
01:59.55herlosontek: no, that's sulogin, which is a login requirement after init starts
02:00.09sontekI know, but its basically the samething
02:00.11herlogrub password is prior to booting to the kernel and init
02:00.15herlono, its not
02:00.20sontekbecause it still requires a password before they can do any damage
02:00.21herloits a different protection
02:00.46herlowell, but at GRUB, I can do different things...
02:01.28herloand you are right about SUSE, but they also don't allow you to change your password unless you use rescue boot media, which is a big pita.  Though the security is probably better that way...
02:01.55sontekyeah
02:02.23sontekIt is annoying when you need to fix something, but I think having it there is nice when you know users will have physical access
02:02.50herlowel, except it doesn't really prevent anything
02:03.59sontekIts just one extra layer, having to get a livecd/mount device/etc is a little longer than doing '1' in the grub menu :P
02:04.09herloagreed
02:04.31sontekbut for anyone who needs that type of security, its probably no help :P
02:04.43sontekI like it because we like to play pranks at work
02:04.54sontekso it delays me getting goatse'd ;)
02:06.52sontekubuntu has chkconfig?
02:07.26herlosort of
02:07.34herloits called sysv-rc-conf or something
02:12.11sontekherlo: stop heckling!
02:12.23herlono
02:14.47herlo:)
02:15.22sontekpersonal stuff?!!
02:15.40sontekwhat file is he editing?

10:12.33ninjabuntuTotally...
10:13.19GateI had never seen a running Linux desktop install 3 years ago. Now the guys at work are calling me the "Linux Expert"
10:13.55ninjabuntuMy Blog is to remind the elite that newb are not on the same level... you can jsut spout out a bunch of commands and exspect us to know what they said with out a bit more detail and ow what they are doing and why...
10:14.00Gateof course, I am but a padawan compared to some of the ppl in this room

10:17.51ninjabuntubut I knew i was in for a long hard ride when i first installed a duel boot then blew away my windows and decided to finally free my self from windows for ever...
10:17.52Gateweird thing to me is: I used windows since 3.1->XP for 15 years or so before ever seeing linux, and a taste of linux then Windows is more obscure-feeling.
10:18.40ninjabuntuI was DOS/3.1 to Vista Back to XP and finally sick of the monthly reinstalls...
10:18.58Gatethank God I knew better than to install Vista
10:19.08ninjabuntume
10:19.14ninjabuntuI was told...
10:19.21ninjabuntumy boss... the lady...
10:19.56ninjabuntutold me... We're installing Vista... I said noooos... then we watch as with out uman assistance... Vista hosed it self in a matter of days...
10:20.04ninjabuntulol
10:20.32ninjabuntuno joke... i never touched it... She never touched it... and the boys didn't touch it...
10:20.44ninjabuntuit hosed it self in to an unrecoverable state...
10:21.05ninjabuntuand i use to be a Windows guy
10:21.16ninjabuntuI touted the gosple according to Bill...
10:21.27GateI watched AdobePDF reader's update render a Vista install unusable and laughed at the poor pro-Windows bastard that had bought the laptop
10:21.48ninjabuntuIouch...
10:21.54ninjabuntuwow ouch...
10:23.32GateOf course, now that guy is back to saying how much he loves Vista
10:23.55ninjabuntufor the first time In a ver long time i feel like tat kid in 1993 who scapped all his money togather for a 486 66mz Turbo with a tandy Vga card and the doom 2 guys gun swaing...
10:24.18ninjabuntuman i threw alot of Paper back then...
10:24.35ninjabuntuI felt pretty feeble then too...
10:24.37ninjabuntulol
10:24.50GateI loved Doom 2!
10:24.57ninjabuntuMe too
10:25.25GateMy dad was basically an IT guy, built us a home network and my family would pound the heck out of each other
10:26.30ninjabuntuI loved Doom3 too but Doom 2 was the bomb... I saved all my pennies and bills... and Finally told my Dad... It's time... e thought super Nintendo... Nope I want a computer like you've been pusing me to get...
