It would help if there were some instructions on the IRC meetings wiki for absolute noobs (like me) in IRC. I don't use IRC at all, not interested. However, I'd like to lurk in the meetings.

I opened Kopete and I've got to a point where I need to choose a server. Which server?

irc.opensuse.org (which is an alias for freenode).

should it be possible to have a server of our own on opensuse.org? I hoped to join for 1/2 an hour from my bussiness place to notice they have setup a new firewall disabling any chat :-( I have only the web :-( it's pretty easy to setup a server (restricted to opensuse irc) - I had time to look, for it :-( thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

What does your work's firewall have to do with openSUSE having its own IRC server?

And freenode is well known as the irc network for open source software, so I'd think its fitting...

I'm not allowed to connect with an irc client, web browser only - I'm from a high school, I beg it's done to prevent student from chatting :-) I mean a web/irc server - I have not the link at hand right now. a one that can be use through a web browser here it is, this one or similar: http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/ "CGI:IRC is a Perl/CGI program that lets you access IRC from a web browser, it is designed to be flexible and has many uses such as an IRC gateway for an IRC network, a chat-room for a website or to access IRC when stuck behind a restrictive firewall." with this any opensuse user could connect without special install (if I understand well the thing, what is not sure) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

thanks jdd

I had similar problems and in the end I setup an NX server on my home machine, listening on port 443 for it's SSH connections. Even though it's only a 256k uplink from home, setting the NXClient to 'WAN' allowed me to have a pretty excellent desktop session running, all encrypted. I don't have any firewall problems any more. ;) Cheers Pete

jdd Are you completely out of your mind? Novell will set and run and administer an IRC server just because ***YOU*** want to irc from your workplace??? Do you really think this is being done for you? Get real. Gosh, think what you are asking Call me a flame maker, but I just cant stand people trying to waste other's time that way... Marcio Ferreira --- aka_druid On 2/7/06, Pascal Bleser wrote:

Note that you could also just ssh and use irssi ;) No X/NX/whatever overhead at all, should perform best.

Another, probably even better option, is to use ssh to tunnel the IRC packets to a freenode.net server.

Start the ssh tunnel locally (e.g. on port 6667), to connect to your PC at home, and redirect traffic to one of the freenode.net servers. When having done that, just start any IRC client (xchat, kopete, kvirc, gaim, irssi, konversation, ... ) and connect to 127.0.0.1:6667

If somebody sets up cgi::irc, it would be nice. However I think it is not up to Novell or openSUSE to get around policies of the place you are. The place that has placed those policies has done so for a reason. Wether this reason is good or bad is not up to us to decide. Trying to break those policies by going around them is above and beyond the call of duty for Novell.

I'll see if I can host... my site is mainly used for personal bullcrap and storage, so I don't eat up any bandwidth costs. Atleast it will offer another option for those who can't get to irc via the regular means. Joseph M. Gaffney aka CuCullin

Im not sure, but this has nothing to do with the ongoing IRC discussion, right? So what you did is to "steal a thread", which means you started a thread for your question, but not started it as its own thread but as part of another one. Probably you hit REPLY instead of COMPOSE, so you basically replied to Joseph.

As this is supposed to be your signature, you should add a separator like this: "-- " which is MINUS MINUS SPACE, wihtout the "". So it will get cut when somebody replies.
