| <GazzaK> popey, I broke my machine last night :p | |
| <GazzaK> d'oh | |
| <GazzaK> decided to try to install macOSX86, kinda failed :p | |
| <popey> why on *earth* would you do that!? | |
| <GazzaK> playing about | |
| <GazzaK> boredom | |
| <popey> loony | |
| <GazzaK> yep | |

| <GazzaK> morning mrben | |
| <popey> morning | |
| <popey> bah | |
| <popey> why have I been tasked with putting up the decroations at work | |
| <LoudMouthMan> because it helps keep you off irc ! | |
| <LoudMouthMan> hehe | |
| <LoudMouthMan> i usually find customers can sense when im trying to take a break. | |
| <DaveMorris> morning | |
| <LoudMouthMan> hello | |
| * popey is planning for Guadec | |
| <DaveMorris> crap weather today | |
| <popey> well, weather wasn't so bad that the trains were knackered | |
| <popey> which is usually the case when it rains a little | |
| <DaveMorris> true | |
| <DaveMorris> only another 2hrs to kill at work before the xmas lunch and piss up :) | |
| <popey> indeed | |
| <popey> same here :) | |
| <popey> I tried to convince them to take us to the Ivy but I doubt that will happen | |
| <popey> wooot, Petes talk now online on google http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=5838951374743244232&hl=en-GB | |
| <DaveMorris> whats the talk about? | |
| <popey> Developing applications using Python and GTK | |
| <popey> it's really good and Pete makes it easy to understand | |
| <mrben> excellent | |
| * mrben will watch that when eben moglen finishes... | |
| <popey> we have quite a collection building up http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?q=hampshire+linux+user+group | |
| <popey> we are now awaiting the office nazi to come round and tell us to take down our decorations and lights | |
| <GazzaK> and H&S say no to misletoe - as it has sharp bits | |
| <GazzaK> and HR say no for fear of sexual harrassment claims | |
| <popey> i have a usb snowman light | |
| <popey> hahah | |
| <mrben> popey: could do with bits of that talk being screencast instead | |
| <popey> he is making a screencast :) | |
| <mrben> \o/ | |
| <popey> plus you can download the high quality OGG and it is all readbable | |
| <mrben> ahhh. ok-dokey | |
| <mrben> I'm fairly fluent in GLADE, so it's not too much of a problem | |
| <GazzaK> popey, have you got a link to one of your ogg's, one of the ones I had problems playing? | |
| <popey> my OGGs? | |
| <popey> screencasts or the hantslug ones? | |
| <GazzaK> screencasts | |
| <GazzaK> the ogg ones | |
| <GazzaK> remember I had problems playing them, I think i've sorted it | |
| <popey> they are all linked at http://quickones.org/ | |
| <GazzaK> I ran "rm -rf ~/.gstreamer-0.10" then "gst-inspect-0.10" to rebuild the library | |
| <mrben> popey: that _so_ sounds like a dodgy pr0n site | |
| <popey> good! :) | |
| <GazzaK> hehe | |
| <GazzaK> popey, any thoughts on doing a "installing beryl on edgy eft" screencast? | |
| <GazzaK> OMG, rain rain rain |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| | |
| <popey> GazzaK: possibly, yes | |
| <popey> problem is it changes so much with different releases /chipsets | |
| <GazzaK> true | |
| <GazzaK> beryl for intel is easy, great results for little effort | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> GazzaK: have you seen the snow plugin? | |
| * sheepeatingtaz has christmassy desktop :) | |
| <DaveMorris> where can you get the plugin from? | |
| <GazzaK> sheepeatingtaz, kinda, big white squares for me | |
| <GazzaK> DaveMorris, it's in the latest beryl | |
| <GazzaK> but I saw Cos had got pretty snowflakes, but I do not know how he did that | |
| <popey> https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+ticket/2762 hows that for above and beyond the call of duty :) | |
| <GazzaK> wow | |
| <GazzaK> you did all that | |
| <DaveMorris> do you actually have a job popey? | |
| <mattl_> DaveMorris: don't believe what he says. | |
| <GazzaK> damnit, that ogg still closes totem | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> DaveMorris: I got snow from here: http://cornergraf.net/projects/xglsnow/ | |
| <popey> DaveMorris: yes | |
| <popey> GazzaK: took an hour to answer that one ticket last night :) | |
| <popey> guess who is up for membership tomorrow :) | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> LoudMouthMan? ;) | |
| <GazzaK> P4P | |
| <popey> yeah, him too | |
| <popey> will have to cheer him on | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> can us mere mortals attend the meeting? | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> or is it 'invite only' sort of thing? | |
| <popey> yes, please do! | |
| <popey> it says bring a fan club on the how-to | |
| * sheepeatingtaz looks for his pom-poms | |
| <GazzaK> popey, what time my dearest :-) | |
| <popey> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewMemberHowto | |
| <popey> "Also try to bring a 'fanclub' - if there are recognized members of the Ubuntu community supporting you at the meeting, this will definitely speed up the process of approving you." | |
| <popey> starts at 4pm, but in all likelyhood will be later because there is a lot on the agenda | |
| <popey> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda see | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> I don't think GazzaK & I are 'recognized members' of the community :) | |
| * popey shrugs | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> I'll be there, although if it goes over hometime, I'll be in the car | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> but there in spirit | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> s/spirit/screen | |
| <GazzaK> I'm a recognized member of a community... | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> _a_ community :) | |
| <popey> heh | |
| * GazzaK waves the little rainbow flag | |
| <mattl_> do you actually have a flag? | |
| <GazzaK> yep | |
| <GazzaK> at home, in a drawer | |
| <mattl_> i have a pirate flag somewhere. | |
| <mattl_> and a chefs hat. | |
| <mattl_> man, that was a weird weekend. | |
| <GazzaK> hehehe http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/data/551/beryl_screenie.png | |
| <popey> that gives me an idea | |
| <popey> run beryl, but have some QEMUs running with Windows running inside them :) | |
| <popey> run them full screen then tilt the screen around :) | |
| <GazzaK> good idea | |
| <GazzaK> awwww http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/data/551/medium/snowy_beryl.png | |
| <jayteeuk> Morning all. | |

| <popey> no | |
| <GazzaK> or a renewal? | |
| <popey> dunno | |
| <popey> they usually leave it till the last minute - literally | |
| <popey> but I do not expect them to renew this time | |
| <GazzaK> yeah, thats normal | |
| <GazzaK> why not? | |
| <popey> because I don't think there is enough work on | |
| <GazzaK> yeah, that explains why you are down t pub all the time | |
| <popey> heh | |
| <popey> i do work, honest | |
| <GazzaK> yeah, for ubuntu | |
| <popey> :p | |
| <jamesbrose> Hello all | |
| <popey> moo | |
| <jayteeuk> How's your machine jamesbrose? | |
| <jamesbrose> Its great! | |
| <jamesbrose> Fixed everything | |
| <jamesbrose> Everythings working | |
| <jamesbrose> Apart from my webcam | |
| <jamesbrose> but i cba with it | |
| <jayteeuk> Bah, webcam's not important. :-P | |
| <mrben> unless jamesbrose happens to be a hot girl..... | |
| <jamesbrose> Meh | |
| <mrben> (ah - IRC stereotypes; marvellous) | |
| <jamesbrose> I did use the webcam alot when it worked | |
| <jamesbrose> I'm going just gona try it again | |
| <jamesbrose> IT WORKED!! | |
| <jamesbrose> LOLL!! | |
| <jamesbrose> :D | |
| <mrben> \o/ | |
| <jamesbrose> I'm well happy now | |
| <jamesbrose> are there any good webcam programs out there part from camorama? | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> popey: just to let you know, screencasts are working :) | |
| <dsas> jamesbrose: ekiga works with webcams I believe. | |
| <jamesbrose> cool | |
| <jamesbrose> Bleh@ | |
| <popey> \o/ | |
| <popey> jamesbrose: what do you want to do with your webcam? | |
| <jamesbrose> Ps. I'm not a hot girl | |
| <jamesbrose> Meh | |
| <jamesbrose> Take pictures | |
| <jamesbrose> Put cool effects on it | |
| <jamesbrose> bit i can do that with camorama | |
| <jamesbrose> so i'm good :] | |
| <popey> ok | |
| <popey> sheepeatingtaz: had a nice comment on quickones, on the latest screencast :) | |
| <popey> no idea who from | |
| <popey> ego++ | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> popey: To clarify, I was asked a question about new laptops, and I tongue in cheek mentioned that he should make sure he asked for a refund on his windows license when he installed Ubuntu instead. He went away and looked at the Ubuntu site, and asked if it was possible to run XP and ubuntu, so I pointed him to the screencast. I now have requests for Live CD's :) | |
| <popey> \o. | |
| <popey> er \o/ | |
| <jamesbrose> Just watched that screencast popey, very good | |
| <popey> thank you | |
| <mattl_> popey: where's this screencast? i'll check it out. | |
| <popey> mattl_ http://quickones.org/ | |
| <popey> there are a few | |
| <popey> mostly evil of course because they deal with flash, windows and non-free stuff | |
| <popey> they are all available to download in OGG format however and were made with predominantly free tools :) | |
| <popey> (the only non-free bit being the qemu kernel module kqemu) | |
| * popey notes mattl_ has gone very quiet | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> Maybe he's considering installing Windows to try it out? | |
| <popey> hehe | |
| * sheepeatingtaz hides | |
| <mattl_> sorry, i went for a poo. | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> ah, so you were looking at a Windows install then :) | |
| <mattl_> popey: i'm going to have to find them manually on video.google.com - what did you tag them as? | |
| <mattl_> downloading the first one now | |
| <mattl_> had to manually get the docid from the source code and fudge the URL.. not terribly useful :p | |
| <popey> just search my name | |
| <mattl_> i did, but apparently you're not called popey ;) | |
| <popey> I will add a link to each one that takes you directly to google video okay? | |
| <popey> that's a good suggestion | |
| <popey> will do when I get home tonight | |
| <sheepeatingtaz> popey: are you happy with hosting them on Archive.org? I have boatloads of hosted space if you want a mirror? | |
| <mattl_> awesome. i think i've found them all now. i'll let you know what i think. what do you use to record them? | |
| <popey> sheepeatingtaz: that's very kind of you, thanks, but I don't have a problem with archive.org at the moment | |
| <popey> mattl_: xvidcap recording a qemu session | |
| <mattl_> i've tagged them. | |
| <mattl_> http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?q=label:%22popey%22 | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <popey> ta] | |
| <popey> that doesn't work for me | |
| <popey> i get none found | |
| <mattl_> hm. might take them a while to index them. | |
| <popey> ahh | |
| <jamesbrose> oh.my.gosh -- http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=4007016107763801953 | |
| <jamesbrose> freakie | |
| <popey> We're sorry, but this video may not be available. | |
| <jamesbrose> meh, is gimp 3 out yet? | |
| <mattl_> popey: how come your screencasts can't be used commercially? | |
| <popey> because that's the licence under which I released them | |
| <mattl_> and no derived versions? erk. what if someone wanted to translate it? | |
| <popey> why would someone translate the audio with all the menus/buttons/options still being in english? | |
| <popey> I will gladly relicence them under a different licence if someone comes up with a coherent reason to | |
| <mattl_> maybe they'd want to translate it for people who are deaf but speak english? like, captioning. | |
| <popey> good point | |
| <mattl_> well, what's your thinking behind the license? | |
| <mattl_> BY-SA is a better choice, i think. | |
| <popey> ok, let me re-read that one and I may well relicence them | |
| <mattl_> if a commercial company wants to put them on its website, they can, but they can't not say you didn't make them :) | |
| <popey> nice logic puzzle there | |
| <mattl_> gotta keep you on your toes ;) | |
| <popey> :) | |
| * popey ponders what to do about all the video that already has those boilerplates with by-nd-nc on them | |
| <popey> might just put a notice on the licence page on the site - that would be sufficient I think? | |
| <popey> and maybe edit the info which accompanies the video both on the site and on google | |
| <mattl_> can you change the videos on google? | |
| <popey> it would mean.. | |
| <popey> repackaging - re-encoding - re-uploading | |
| <mattl_> well, i guess the first thing you could do would be edit the blog posts, and say you've released them under a more liberal license. | |
| <popey> the most time consuming part of the whole process | |
| <popey> yes, agreed | |
| <mattl_> and update anywhere else you're linking them | |
| <mattl_> and maybe change the info on google | |
| <mattl_> let me know when you've done that, i'll add a notice to freeculture.org.uk :) | |
| <popey> to be honest I am not sure why I chose that licence | |
| <popey> it was the one we used for the hampshire LUG talk videos | |
| <jamesbrose> anybody seen a cool green theme about? | |
| <mattl_> tbh, i don't see any reason why anyone chooses 'non commercial' CC licenses. | |
| <popey> yeah, I understand | |
| <popey> a moment of stupidity on my part | |
| * popey accepts that happens sometimes | |
| <popey> poke me later on if I don't appear to have done it | |
| <mattl_> BY-SA is a better NC than NC, really.. if EMI records want to use your CC-BY-SA song, they'll probably negotiate terms, but if student XYZ wants to use it and sell copies of a DVD film they've made with a song in, all power to them. | |
| <mattl_> popey: i'm off to see jono and aq in a bit. | |
| <popey> oh ok | |
| <popey> say hello from me :) | |
| <dsas> hmm, that testimony on the 14+14 page in the freeculture wiki sucks. | |
| <dsas> paying to get the wedding photos, then having to cough up extra fees later to stop the negatives being destroyed. | |
| <dsas> never thought of copyright in terms like that. | |
| <mattl_> yeah, that's a very good example. | |
| <mattl_> copyright is there after all, to get creators to make more works. | |
| <mattl_> so they can live off their earnings as a creator of things. | |
| <chaddy> creating is a valuable service | |
| <dsas> it sucks paying for things, and not getting the "source", especially when like wedding photos the source is useless to anyone else. | |
| <jamesbrose> Hmm, whats Amarok Live ? | |
| <chaddy> I wonder if google knows... | |
| <jamesbrose> I bootable cd with amarok on :]] | |
| <jamesbrose> Google says | |
| <chaddy> hmm | |
| <chaddy> hehe that's a nice place holder | |
| <jayteeuk> Has anyone come up with items for the agenda for next Tuesday? | |
| <VooDoo> Afternoon | |
| <LoudMouthMan> jayteeuk , well we need to address the last issues and anyone can add anything they need raised. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Voodoo afternoon | |
| <jayteeuk> LoudMouthMan: OK. There's just nothing on the wiki page, that's all. :) | |
| <jayteeuk> I don't have anything specific to add at the moment, I'll just be attending to see how things go and add my tuppence worth. ;) | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Cool . | |
| <chaddy> intermittent problem with edgy on my laptop: sounds get caught in a loop, tried /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop, then restart, doesn't solve it | |
| <chaddy> any ideas on how to clear out the sound system? | |
| <jayteeuk> That sounds like the problem jamesbrose was desribing the other day actually. | |
| <jayteeuk> No, actually, I think I'm mistaken. | |
| <jayteeuk> It was actually probably you. :) | |
| <chaddy> not sure if I've mentioned it in here | |
| <chaddy> I'm trying to think of another way of describing it, google-fu is not strong atm | |
| <jayteeuk> I think I suggested restarting esd, as the login sound was specifically mentioned. | |
| <chaddy> looping rather than loop seems more productive | |
| <chaddy> no, restarting esd just gives more sounds in the loop | |
| <jayteeuk> Definitely sounds like an ALSA problem. | |
| <chaddy> hmm | |
| <jayteeuk> Any ALSA Gurus around? | |

| <LoudMouthMan> yay ! | |
| <LoudMouthMan> the right thing . you were thinking carefully . | |
| <LoudMouthMan> it is easier to open the gate than bolt it after the sound of hooves disappear over the horizon. | |
| <popey> heh | |
| <LoudMouthMan> popey got time for a prv ? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> i think i scared him <Grin> | |
| <popey> go ahead caller | |
| <LoudMouthMan> ping dsas ? | |
| <dsas> pong LoudMouthMan | |
| <andy101> fsk, trying to get tv listings on my PC, anyone know if the 'reload' in ontv actually goes to the internet and fetches a knew file or just rereads the last thing xmltv fetched? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> ahh dsas,. dsas. would you have some time to implement a few of those UKteam front page changes we discussed at the last meeting ? or am I being a cheeky Suseh ! | |
| <dsas> LoudMouthMan: Yeah, I've been meaning to do that. I made a slight alteration to the text at the top and linked some stuff up, but I'm pretty busy lately (deadline week), I probably won't get time until the weekend to sort through the projects. | |
| <popey> andy101: you have to get xmltv to go get it again don you? | |
| <popey> last time I used it you did anyway | |
| <popey> you need to cron schedule xmltv | |
| <LoudMouthMan> dsas : okay . it was my fault I kinda delagated in my head ( yep wrong place ) without checking before hand about timescales and deliverables. would you have anyone else you would delegate back to or shall I ask around ? | |
| <andy101> thats what I thought, thanks popey | |
| <popey> np | |
| <dsas> yeah, I did say I'd pick it up if no-one else beat me to it. | |
| <Seeker`> howdy | |
| <dsas> hey Seeker` | |
| <dsas> LoudMouthMan: I'm sure anyone with a wiki account who follows IRC/the list can pick it up... | |
| <LoudMouthMan> dsas : no problems , i know from my own commitments its hard somettimes to do stuff. I would like to keep the ball moving though and make sure we keep setting goals and tasks that we can achieve, even if they are low fruit. | |
| <dsas> yeah, it's definitely a good idea. I'm moving back home on Friday for xmas (3 weeks), so I *should* find time to do whatever isn't done next week, if not the weekend. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> dsas: okay well I was going to edit it earlier this week but then I thought it would be better if we could catch up in the public space and chat about it a little first. im happy to take time to edit it tommorow if you want. unless anyone here is objecting etc etc etc | |
| <Seeker`> have i missed much over the last week? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Seeker not much MS open sources win98 but that was all. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Seeker, nah sorry not really however .. it is the time tommorow when we get Considerd fro Approval in the Community Council Agenda | |
| <dsas> LoudMouthMan: Be my guest :) | |
| <LoudMouthMan> bugger .. okay ill add it to my List of things I am doing tommorow. AFTER the community council meets. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> hmmm why does our topic say 16:30 UTC when the meeting starts at 16:00 ? | |
| <dsas> LoudMouthMan: Not forgetting cheering popey for president and yourself for membership :) | |
| <LoudMouthMan> hahah did you just get dropped because of poeys super cow powers there ? | |
| <dsas> heh, maybe... | |
| <dsas> Did I ever mention how much wireless sucks in old houses? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> wireles sucks ? hmm I wondered how it worked ! | |
| <dsas> well, it depends on the router... | |
| <dsas> if you have a dual antennae one, it works by one antennae sucking radiowaves and the other exhuasting them. | |
| <Seeker`> how long does it take ISPs to activate a line? | |

| <LoudMouthMan> Seeker . yeah not a bad one . | |
| <jamesbrose> How could I stream my webcam onto the web? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> camserv did the job well for me last I checked. | |
| <jamesbrose> howd i work it? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> jamesbrose . generally its a console product so if your cam can be seen under things like gnomemeeting then camserv should pick it up. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> but you usually find docs and details in /usr/share/doc or on the web. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> sorry , im a but useless for memorising this stuff since I usuall expect to have to read the documentation or webpage to work it out. | |
| <X3N_> needs a motion detection widget | |
| <X3N_> ip cameras are so expensive | |
| <jayteeuk> No kidding. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> X3N .. most camserv and web cam software has something that does this.. theres even another project which does just that for you. | |
| <X3N_> oh ? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> i set one up for a client to demo USB cams vs Axis comm cams. and Panasonics cams. | |
| <X3N_> mm gspy ? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> hehe yeah i was looking at that | |
| <X3N_> looks pretty cool | |
| <jamesbrose> How do i change how often camserv resfreshes the image from the config file? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> um pass. sorry just getting distracted by gspy | |
| <X3N_> aww my camera doesn't work | |
| <LoudMouthMan> yep just installed Gspy and it works real well . a bit too well though but it works | |
| <LoudMouthMan> and the picture quality and levels are great on my old crappy ov11 | |
| <LoudMouthMan> I wonderd X3N what it would take to get that from where it is, into one of the package repositories then. | |
| <X3N_> yeah | |
| * jayteeuk wanders off to read up on Gspy before heading off to bed. | |
| <X3N_> i can see it would be useful to a lot of people | |
| * popey pokes binary2k2 | |
| <jayteeuk> It might help stop the scratches that keep appearing on my car. | |
| <jayteeuk> But I only really have an Agfa CL18 and I don't think that works with v4l. | |
| <jayteeuk> There was another solution I was looking at a while back... I think it was PHP-based or something. | |
| <jayteeuk> Here we go, I think this was it: http://sourceforge.net/projects/zoneminder/ | |
| <jayteeuk> Right, I'm off again... | |
| <jayteeuk> Night folks. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> that was the one i was looking for. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> right time to hit the sack . | |
| <LoudMouthMan> laters... | |
| <jamesbrose> How do I enable XMDCP? | |
| <jamesbrose> XDMCP* | |
| <tsmithe> isn't it on by default? | |
| <X3N_> system > administration > login window | |
| <tsmithe> or not | |
| <jamesbrose> ok | |
| <X3N_> then remote tab | |
| <jamesbrose> When I go to the Terminal Server Client, its greyed out :[ | |
| <X3N_> yeah | |
| <jamesbrose> ? | |
| <X3N_> dunno why | |
| <jamesbrose> is there another gui program i could use? | |
| <X3N_> but all it does is X :9 -query <host> | |
| <X3N_> infact you'd probably have to run that as sudo | |
| <X3N_> which is why maybe it can't do it | |
| <X3N_> jamesbrose: you need to install xnest | |
| <X3N_> that will enable xdmcp support in tsclient | |
| <jamesbrose> Cheers ;) | |
| <X3N_> i assume the tsclient runs an xserver ontop of your xserver | |
| <jamesbrose> its ungreyed out | |
| <jamesbrose> but it still doesnt work | |
| <X3N_> :) | |
| <jamesbrose> it goes onto this screen with a "cross" as a mouse | |
| <jamesbrose> and just sticks to it | |
| <X3N_> that's it pretty much working, did you restart gdm since you changed the config ? | |
| <jamesbrose> What config? | |
| <jamesbrose> meh | |
| <X3N_> you changed the configuration of the login screen | |
| <jamesbrose> I will restart it anyway | |
| <jamesbrose> good point | |
| <jamesbrose> nope | |
| <jamesbrose> Getting the eror | |
| <jamesbrose> Error opening secuiity policy file | |
| <jamesbrose> couldnt get keyboard | |
| <jamesbrose> X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown) | |
| <X3N_> have you got xauth installed ? | |
| <jamesbrose> doubt | |
| <jamesbrose> xauth is already the newest version | |
| <jamesbrose> yes | |
| <X3N_> hmm | |
| <X3N_> open up /etc/gdm/gdm.conf | |
| <X3N_> and check the [xdmcp] section | |
| <jamesbrose> under it it says | |
| <jamesbrose> Enable=false | |
| <jamesbrose> The whole bit - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36506/ | |
| <jamesbrose> brb | |
| <X3N_> odd, the enable remote connection in the login manager doesn't do anything | |
| <jamesbrose> back | |
| <X3N_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36507/ | |
| <X3N_> that's the idea | |
| <X3N_> for some reason the enable remote connection in the login manager doesn't do anything | |
| <X3N_> might be a bug, i'll look into it another time | |
| <jamesbrose> ok | |
| <jamesbrose> restart gdm? | |
| <X3N_> once you've changed the gdm.conf, fraid so | |
| <jamesbrose> kk |
