| <fignew> hah | |
| <fignew> the night is still young | |
| <boredandblogging> how was the lug? | |
| <fignew> gonna be up for another 4 hours | |
| <fignew> 'twas good | |
| <fignew> SSH was the topic at hand | |
| <boredandblogging> useful | |
| <fignew> 1 sec | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> cool | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> i use ssh | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> and just started using keys with it | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> still new to that whole thing... | |
| <fignew> There's ALOT you can do with it | |
| <fignew> http://www.lugatgt.org/articles/ssh_tips/ | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> ya i found a great site... now where did i put it... | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> on keys... | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> i got inspired listening to LottaLinuxLinks podcast | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> I'm going to show off my streaming music server at my LUG meeting... | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> at least that is now my plan | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> ... but i need to paint the box... | |
| <boredandblogging> very cool | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> only a 700mz P3 | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> less than 400mb ram | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> ya | |
| <boredandblogging> i wish I could ssh to my machine from work | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> its sweet | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> they block it huh? | |
| <boredandblogging> well, legally ssh out of work | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> mine does | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah, block everything in and out | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> ah | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> yup | |
| <boredandblogging> been using this socks server thing that can work over http proxy servers | |
| <boredandblogging> been using irc over it | |
| <boredandblogging> haven't tried something like ssh on it | |
| <boredandblogging> its kinda funny really... | |
| <boredandblogging> we all have windows machines... | |
| <fignew> boredandblogging: they block SSH in and out? | |
| <boredandblogging> with linux running in a vmware... | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah, only port 80 is open over an http proxy | |
| <boredandblogging> since we are running windows, there are apps that can scan every machine to see what its running | |
| <boredandblogging> we are finally moving to linux boxes with vmware running windows | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> lol | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> good idea | |
| <boredandblogging> i doubt they are going to have an easy time figuring out what we run under linux in each box | |
| <boredandblogging> considering we will all admin our own boxes | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> lol | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> like linux? | |
| <boredandblogging> only way to get in use to use microsoft VPN, which annoys me. we should be able to ssh into our own boxes | |
| <boredandblogging> i'd be ok if they required us to tunnel through a couple of machines...like ssh into one central box (kinda like a VPN gateway) and then ssh into our machines...but noooo | |
| <fignew> hmm | |
| <fignew> well | |
| <fignew> you could pull it off | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah, but its a pain | |
| <fignew> this is true | |
| <boredandblogging> someone tell me how I can do this... | |
| <boredandblogging> I have xchat open right on my desktop... | |
| <boredandblogging> I want to go downstairs and use my laptop | |
| <boredandblogging> is there a way to export a running xchat gui to my laptop? | |
| <fignew> no | |
| <fignew> you'll have to use irsse | |
| <fignew> irssi* | |
| <boredandblogging> can you do that without using screen? | |
| <fignew> or use an IRC proxy/bouncer | |
| <fignew> no | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah, thats what I figured | |
| <boredandblogging> someone needs to figure out how to do that | |
| <fignew> I agree | |
| <fignew> I've came across the need to do that too | |
| <boredandblogging> irssi is fine, except I can't keep track of multiple channels on one screen, gives me a headache | |
| <fignew> i'm sorta the same | |
| <fignew> but I was using it the other day | |
| <fignew> worked pretty well | |
| <boredandblogging> i've been just vnc'ing into my desktop to use my existing open xchat | |
| <fignew> still prefer konversation though | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah, I'm thinking about giving it another try | |
| <fignew> use a bouncer | |
| <boredandblogging> yeah, I could | |
| <fignew> In fact | |
| <fignew> that's what I'm gonna do right now :) | |
| <fignew> BTW, irssi has a proxy built in | |
| <boredandblogging> alright, I'm going to give it another try, damnit, now I"ll never get to sleep | |
| <fignew> lol | |
| <fignew> I'm sorry | |
| <fignew> what time do you have to get up? | |
| <boredandblogging> i work from home quite a bit... | |
| <boredandblogging> nowadays... | |
| <boredandblogging> but I have an 11:30 meeting to make | |
| <boredandblogging> so I've got some time | |
| <fignew> do you have any exp. with making .debs? | |
| <boredandblogging> gonna get into that next week, gonna package some stuff up for motu | |
| <boredandblogging> are you trying to make some? | |
| <fignew> yea, I have this ctrlproxy software | |
| <fignew> and it seems to come with all the .deb rules | |
| <fignew> I've managed to get something started by running debian/rules binary | |
| <fignew> but there's some compile error | |
| <fignew> maybe debian/rules build | |
| <fignew> will work | |
| <fignew> no :/ | |
| <bandb_test> ok | |
| <bandb_test> this would work much better on my desktop than the laptop | |
| <bandb_test> fignew: what instructions are you using to build the .deb? | |
| <fignew> nothing | |
| <fignew> just looked at it | |
| <fignew> started typing random commands :) | |
| <fignew> the source gzip came with all the debian rules | |
| <bandb_test> got it | |
| <fignew> go to bed :P | |
| <bandb_test> soon | |
| <bandb_test> alright, I'm off to bed | |
| <bandb_test> later | |
| *** fignew is now known as fignew__ | |
| <boredandblogging> this is going to take some getting used to | |
| <boredandblogging> can't move around the windows for some reason and thats frustrating | |
| <boredandblogging> crappy weather | |
| <fignew> boredandblogging: you there? | |
| <fignew> turns out it's insanely easy to make a .deb :P | |
| <fignew> fully automated | |
| <stuartf> fignew: it's easy if the rules file is already there | |
| <fignew> nope | |
| <fignew> 1 sec | |
| <fignew> this is amazing | |
| <fignew> even packages the documentation | |
| <fignew> thomas@ambient:~/linux/xscreensaver-4.19$ dpkg --info xscreensaver_4.19-1_i386.deb | |

| <fignew> I can't believe that i've never figured this out before | |
| <nomasteryoda|w> lol | |
| <bandb> very nice | |
| <fignew> you tried it? | |
| <bandb> no, was planning on it this weekend? | |
