F00BaRbut apt-get cant find package12:46
geniiF00BaR: Ah, that is a bad choice :( No longer supported etc12:46
geniiThere are better alternatyives12:47
F00BaRoh12:47
F00BaRlike what12:47
F00BaRits the only free cpanel12:47
F00BaRwebmin is no good12:47
geniihttp://www.ispconfig.org/12:47
F00BaRthere a demo for it?12:47
geniihttp://www.gnupanel.org/12:47
naliothgnupanel?12:48
geniiI think ispconfig has a demo, yeah12:48
geniiThats another control panel for ISPs, yes12:48
F00BaRwhats best12:48
genii^^ nalioth12:48
naliothinteresting12:48
geniiF00Bar I'm currently testing ispconfig, seems good. We are considering some similar solution for our machines12:49
geniiF00BaR: Anyhow, for reference, Dapper server was setup along the lines here http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06 then a fix for ispconfig to properly install found here http://k0dy.wordpress.com/2006/08/05/ubuntu-server-606-with-ispconfig/12:54
F00BaRyou should intergrate a cpanel with ubuntu :)12:57
geniiF00BaR: I don't have enough time to devot to being a package maintainer unfortunately :(12:58
F00BaRomfg, vhcs didnt install12:58
geniiI do think it's a good idea tho for the LAMP install to have one as standard12:58
F00BaRnvm12:59
F00BaRispconfig good yeah?12:59
geniiF00BaR: The demo is here for ispconfig: http://www.ispconfig.org/demo.htm  so you can see how it looks/operates12:59
geniiF00BaR: I have not yet installed gnupanel to evaluate, but there are 3 demos here for you to look at : http://www.gnupanel.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=19&Itemid=3501:01
geniinalioth I suspect you checked out the demos... any input?01:03
naliothgenii: i don't run a web server for money01:06
geniinalioth: I work at a nonprofit ISP here in Toronto01:06
naliothi don't work for an ISP at all01:07
geniiIf you had some webhosting arrangement with an isp would there be some cpanel preferences? (trying to get an idea of what interfaces ppl like/dislike)01:09
naliothi have dreamhost01:11
nalioththere is some kind of web interface01:11
geniihmm01:12

F00BaRits asking to chose language01:30
F00BaRi typed en, then english01:30
F00BaRnone worked01:31
geniiThats weird, I don't remember having to specify during the initial setup of it. Afterwards it was in spanish I think, logged into the interface and changed language in the interface from there.01:32
F00BaRwant a screenshot01:32
geniiF00BaR: The machine i have it running on right now is down for hardware maintenance01:34
F00BaRi mean01:34

soundrayPeople who come to ubuntu from another distribution are used to do things while logged in as root, right?03:26
soundrayslacker_nl: ^03:27
slacker_nlyes, at least I'm used to su/ssu/sudo03:27
soundraySo, if they run a command like date >example, they expect example to end up in /root/03:28
slacker_nldepends03:28
slacker_nlsu -m uses my shell and enviroment03:29
slacker_nlso I'm used to put things in my $HOME and/or put it in tmp03:29
soundrayOkay, but let's think of that poor person you were talking to earlier, robe or whatever his nick was.03:29
soundrayComes to #ubuntu and says "Hey, how am I supposed to do things as root when the account is locked?"03:30
slacker_nlsoundray: if he's used to su or ssu you could assume he knows a thing or two03:30
soundrayslacker_nl: but we can't assume that, can we?03:30
slacker_nlyou have a point - but that does not mean I cannot tell him what you can do as well to become root03:31
soundrayYou can tell him whatever you want to, but if I consider that advice to be flawed, I will continue to ask you not to suggest or recommend it.03:32
soundrayGiven that there's a safer alternative.03:32
slacker_nlbecause you think its flawed you don't recommend it, but you don't have to tell me not to give my opinion about the matter03:33
soundrayI'm not assuming any authority over what you say or don't say. Hence I use the words 'please don't'.03:34
soundrayI see you have a different attitude, saying "I'm not a babysitter"03:35
soundrayI take a slightly different approach and worry about what ubuntu beginners do to their systems.03:35
soundrayBecause I know they'll be back saying things like "I've accidentally deleted my home directory as root -- how can I recover it"03:36
soundray;)03:36
slacker_nlsoundray: everyone makes a mistake (which is dumb and maybe could have been avoided)03:40
slacker_nlbut, Ubuntu users should also read the docs and not blindly follow what others are saying03:40
slacker_nland do some homework before playing with the root account03:41
=== jenda [n=jenda@ubuntu/member/jenda] has joined #ubuntu-classroom
soundrayslacker_nl: I agree with that. But if someone naive, lazy and gullible turns up and asks about such things, I don't want to be the one who's suggested a command with unpredictable side effects.03:42
soundrayNow, I want you to feel free to think differently about that.03:43
slacker_nlok, at first you gave me the impression you didn't want me to think differently03:43
soundrayJust because I'm asking you not to do something doesn't mean I won't *allow* you to do it.03:44
soundrayI don't assume that kind of authority.03:44
soundrayOkay, I guess we've sorted that then ;)03:45
slacker_nlhehe03:45
slacker_nlI guess we did03:46
slacker_nlmaybe the root/sudo story should be in red bold letters the first time you boot ubuntu03:47
soundrayHey, now you have babysitter aspirations ;)03:47
slacker_nlso ppl will read it03:47
slacker_nlnah, I don't03:48
slacker_nlwith babysitting I mean - I'm not always going to tell them every side effect something has - they need to read the man pages and wiki's as well03:48
slacker_nlbut a big warning would make ppl think twice before enabling the root account03:49
slacker_nlor should03:49
slacker_nlbut I will see you later03:50
slacker_nlreally need to get some work done03:50
soundrayIt might also *make* them do something that isn't recommended, just because "it's my system and I will bl**dy do what I want with it"...03:51
soundrayokay03:51
soundrayme too03:51
soundraytot ziens03:51
slacker_nltot ziens03:51
slacker_nlyou dutch speaking?03:51
soundrayNo, German03:51
slacker_nlOK, auf wiedersehen03:51
soundray:)03:52
