mulbahGood morning Mr. Cole13:00
ubuntouristHi13:00
mulbahHow are you13:01
tboimahGood day folks13:02
ubuntouristThis year, it's three or four different vaccinations for me. I just got the second one and hoping to not have an infection this time... 13:02
ubuntouristHi,13:02
ubuntouristSo, mulbah last time tboimah had mentioned a prroblem with logging into a new server. 13:03
mulbahyeah13:03
ubuntouristAnd that's what we went off to try to fix, because it seems like a pretty big problem. Unfortunately, my13:03
tboimahJeff already ask toby and his friend to take care of it , they fix it yesterday13:04
ubuntouristexpertise is not in network technology. Based on what I was seeing, I thought the problem related to the PAM system.13:04
ubuntouristtboimah, did they share with you the problem and the solution?13:05
ubuntouristIf they did not, ask for a detailed explanation, and share with me and mulbah.13:06
tboimahbut ledmen said that he will show scooper and he will show it to us13:06
tboimahnot yet still waiting for scooper to get the idea from ledmen and share with me13:06
*** tboimah has quit (Remote host closed the connection)13:06
ubuntouristOK.13:06
ubuntouristACTION thinks the biggest problem is network connectivity. 13:07
ubuntouristmulbah, any opportunity to look at fields and field delimiters yet?13:08
mulbahyeah13:10
*** tboimah has quit (Remote host closed the connection)13:10
ubuntouristAnd are you beginning to feel comfortable with the concepts or still lost?13:11
mulbahfeeling comfortable with it13:12
mulbahnow13:12
ubuntouristOK. I don't know if tboimah shared with you, but on Monday, when I was trying to find out more about the problem13:13
mulbahshould I do a little demonstration of it in the terminal13:13
ubuntouristI was doing exactly the same kind of things I had been doing as demonstration:13:13
ubuntouristI used locate to find system logs that record what's happening on the system. Then I used13:14
ubuntouristgrep on those files to find error messages and filtered the messages through grep to narrrow down to ssh errors13:15
ubuntouristI used cut to cut unnecessary information from the lines, and redirected the output to a file that I could examine later.13:15
ubuntouristSo, locate, grep, cut, and a for loop were all my friends on Monday.13:16
ubuntouristIt was a "real world" problem, and I used the tools we've been exloring.13:16
ubuntouristGg ahead an open a tmate session and I'll give a little quiz.13:17
mulbahokay13:18
mulbahssh TAWaBWfLTMcXCqZh7PagBjg3N@lon1.tmate.io13:18
ubuntouristcat /var/lib/dpkg/info/vim.list13:19
ubuntouristSo, what is the obvious field delimiter in that file?13:19
*** tboimah has quit (Remote host closed the connection)13:21
ubuntouristAnd how would you print ONLY the THIRD  field? on each line?13:22
*** sysadmin has quit (Remote host closed the connection)13:23
mulbahcut -d ',' -f 3 vim.list13:25
ubuntouristAnd without trying that, what would you expect to see?  You don't have to type all the lines, but type a few lines into IRC13:27
ubuntouristthat you would expect from issuing the command you wrote.13:28
*** mulbah has quit (Quit: Leaving)13:32
*** mulbah has quit (None)13:37
ubuntouristOK... I'm just going to send the questions in e-mail and expect the answers in e-mail.13:38
mulbahthe network is giving problem Mr. Cole13:38
*** mulbah has quit (None)13:38
