Tm_Panyone familiar with joomla and wiki combination?10:23
BurgundaviaTm_P: what sort?10:28
Tm_Twe need to somehow include wiki to joomla10:38
Burgundaviayou want a wiki in joomla?10:39
Tm_Tyes10:39
Tm_Tand I'm not sure what is reasonable method10:39
BurgundaviaI would rather use another wiki like Mediawiki or Moin and theme them the same10:39
Tm_Tproblem is, we like to have same authentication to joomla and to wiki, if possiblr10:40
Tm_Tand being separate means separate logins10:40
Burgundaviayou can use LDAP, although Joomla auth against ldap is a major headache10:41
Burgundaviaapparently Joomla 1.5 is going to be better10:41
Tm_TLDAP, hum10:41
elkbuntuTm_P, there are things like mambowiki which integrates mediawiki iirc10:41
Tm_Telkbuntu: and bundles own (old) mediawiki with it, IIRC10:42
Burgundaviahttp://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,221/Itemid,35/10:42
Tm_Tif I didn't totally misread10:42
Burgundavialooks like 1.5.610:42
elkbuntuhttp://sammoffatt.com.au/jauthtools/index.php?title=Main_Page might be useful too10:42
Tm_Telkbuntu: will look, thanks10:43
Burgundaviadon't try the last link elkbuntu used10:43
Burgundaviaor, at least, try it on a test joomla instance first10:43
Tm_Tofcourse we'll having test environment (:10:45
Tm_Twith Joomla 1.5 beta and all ;)10:45
Tm_Tthanks, looks like we might try ldap10:45

elkbuntuHobbsee, if oli can accurately diagnose it, it will be a different story i think05:37

elkbuntuJordan_U, slowly. ssh to a livecd isnt the speediest of shell environments ;)05:39
Hobbseethere's no list, unfortunately.05:39
elkbuntuHobbsee, i didnt say it had to be complete from the beginning05:40
PriceChildmc44, meh that could stop say retaliating against bot attacks by using access to ban for example05:40
elkbuntuand putting the tribe out will very likely assist in diagnosis05:40

elkbuntuHobbsee, what does single user set as the password for the root user, or is there none?05:46
Hobbseeelkbuntu: there is none.05:46
naliothelkbuntu: there is no root user, is there?05:46
ikoniaelkbuntu: it doesn't set one05:46
Hobbseeelkbuntu: actually, it's blank05:47
Hobbseeelkbuntu: which is also a string fo characters, which ogra knows about05:47
elkbuntunalioth, single user boot option mode05:48

elkbuntuheh... didnt think to create a user until now05:53
elkbuntugrrr05:55
Hobbsee\o/05:55
elkbuntuwtf it still wont let me in05:57
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: ssh?05:58
elkbuntuJordan_U, yes. single user root doesnt have an actual password05:58
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: Just to cover all bases you have installed openssh-server?05:59
elkbuntuJordan_U, yes05:59
elkbuntumelissa@centaur:~$ ssh root@192.168.0.305:59
elkbunturoot@192.168.0.3's password:05:59
elkbuntuPermission denied, please try again.05:59
elkbunturoot@192.168.0.3's password:05:59
elkbuntuPermission denied, please try again.05:59
elkbunturoot@192.168.0.3's password:05:59
elkbuntuis kinda the problem05:59
Jordan_Upasswd ?06:00
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: have you set a root password?06:01
ikoniaif its on the network its not in single user mode06:01
elkbuntuikonia, try tell the livecd that06:01
mc44elkbuntu: log in as ubuntu/ubuntu?06:01
ikoniaelkbuntu: boot from your normal grub menu (no cd) interupt it and root "single" after the linx kernel boot line eg: root=/dev/hda1 single06:02
ikoniaelkbuntu: you'll get put into single user on your current system then06:02
elkbuntuikonia, it's not that simple. there is no grub on this system yet. this system only has XP on the hdd. i am trying to install gutsy, but this is not even booting the daily. i am trying to get some form of evaluation of the gdm log to find out why06:03
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: If you want an even crazier Idea you could try enabling persistence :)06:03
ikoniaelkbuntu you could always just boot the livecd and mount the hard disk manually ?06:04
ikoniatake a look at the gdm log06:04
ikoniaooh06:04
ikoniasorry06:04
ikoniaONLY has XP on it06:05
elkbuntuikonia, yes, i'm rebuilding the machine.06:05
ikoniaelkbuntu: where are you trying to see the gdm log06:05
ikoniafrom the gusty install cd ?06:05
ikoniaor a previous install ?06:05
elkbuntuikonia, as the livecd boots06:05
ikoniaelkbuntu ahhh got you06:05
ikoniaelkbuntu can you not let it boot and then drop into a terminal ?06:06
elkbuntuikonia, that's the part of the gdm breakage that makes it oh so much fun. no. it locks up06:06
=== Vorian [n=Steve@ubuntu/member/Vorian] has joined #ubuntu-ops
elkbuntuwhy else would i be trying to see the log via ssh to a livecd. sheesh :06:06
ikoniaelkbuntu ahh I see06:07
ikoniaas you say, not simple06:07
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: I assume safe graphics mode is no help?06:07
mc44elkbuntu: did try ssh with ubuntu as the user?06:07
elkbuntumc44, yes. single user mode has one user. root06:08
mc44elkbuntu: passwd doesn't work?06:08
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: Is there something you could do to get X to fail to start at boot instead of doing single user mode?06:09
ikoniaelkbuntu are you creating the cd your self or using a pre-build iso  ?06:09
elkbuntuJordan_U, no. there's no 'kill x' keycombo06:09
elkbuntuikonia, pre-built gutsy daily build06:09
ikoniarats so you can't even add a user and re-build06:09
elkbuntuZOMG I AM IN06:09
ikoniaelkbuntu: how ?06:10
elkbuntui was doing the password bit wrong06:10
elkbuntusince i always have to read the goddam man page to do passwd right06:10
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: I meant more along the lines of a kernel parameter that would screw something up so that x would crash when it tried to load rather than prevent it from trying06:10
mc44heh06:10
elkbuntusince i do it like once every 6mths06:10
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: I would loan you my card if I could, it's a guarenteed fail, won't even work with VESA :)06:12
elkbuntuJordan_U, well actually, this VIA doesnt like the safe graphics mode either. but that's part of the FS b0rkage that is making this oh so more fun06:12
elkbuntuJordan_U, we have 2 nice complex breakages ;)06:13
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: If you use safe graphics mode will X fail to load?06:14
mc44seems a bit silly to release the tribe then/ *coughs and runs from Hobbsee fast*06:14
Hobbseemc44: there is no good solution06:14
elkbuntuJordan_U, it doesnt get as far as x actually06:14
Hobbseemc44: excluding the one about early testing.  which obviously we cant go back and do06:14
elkbuntu(hint, that bit is not to do with the via)06:14
elkbuntuJordan_U, if you want to see an interesting error: http://geekosophical.net/random/gutsytesting/RIMG0308.JPG06:15
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: Isn't that what you want, it will keep the GDM from loading06:15
elkbuntuJordan_U, it doesnt get as far as a prompt. see the pic06:15
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: I am actually console bound trying to get X to start on the daily :)06:15
mc44Hobbsee: I suppose it depends on what the point of the Tribe cds are in the first place06:16
elkbuntuJordan_U, a functional tty?! WOW!!!!06:16
mc44Hobbsee: if they were perfect we could release now :P06:16
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: Yes, because X never started :) I am trying to cause the same serendipitous failure for you now :)06:17
Hobbseeheh06:17
elkbuntuJordan_U, you literally get trapped in the looping gdm, until you do something that makes the whole damn thing freeze and the only way to a sane shutdown is ctrl-alt-del06:17
PriceChildHobbsee, it was gonna happen eventually06:18
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: out of curiosity does alt+sysrq+ ( whatever key gives you keyboard input ) let you switch to a tty?06:18
Jordan_UCan't confortably google the key right now :)06:19
Jordan_UOk, I think I have it to the point where I can start X, should I run startx to bypass the GDM or try the GDM ( considering I have openssh-server installed and may be able to get some logs ) ?06:20
HobbseePriceChild: so it seems.06:21
elkbuntuanyway. i have logs now :D06:22
Hobbseeyay!06:23
mc44Hobbsee: I know who the target it, don't worry :)06:23
Hobbsee:)06:23

Jordan_UWell that failed miserably06:28
Jordan_USo again, if I am able to get X to start should I try logging in from GDM?06:30

Jordan_USo again, if I am able to get X to start should I try logging in from GDM?06:31
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: ?06:32
elkbuntuJordan_U, are you able to get the xorg log onto a pastebin at all?06:33
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: If I can get another machine to ssh into this one yes06:33
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: I think that is one of the things upstream can grab also06:34
elkbuntuwhat is the hurdle to that atm?06:34
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: Installing fglrx and convincing my friend to let me borrow his laptop :)06:35
Jordan_USo should I try it? How likely am I to have the same problem with gdm and how importand is getting the logs?06:37
elkbuntuJordan_U, well, if i can see the logs, i can maybe suggest a way to get it at least bootable06:38
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: Trying now...06:38
elkbuntui have a few ATIs myself. im not exactly a newbie to their issues06:39
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: gdm doesn't seem to be doing anything, I ran sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start and so far nothing has happened06:40
elkbuntuJordan_U, get me a copy of the /var/log/Xorg.0.log please06:40
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: OK, I'll try06:40
elkbuntuJordan_U, if you cant manage a ssh gig. try installing apache and cping it to /var/www/ and giving me a url06:42
elkbuntuwtf? pitti nicked off too? :(06:45
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: I think that what I have so far is just going to show you my VESA driver problem06:47
=== stdin [i=stdin@unaffiliated/binary2k2] has joined #ubuntu-ops
elkbuntuJordan_U, probably. let me decide06:48
Jordan_UI am saving things to a flash drive so anything you want me to get / try before I reboot?06:48
elkbuntunot at this point06:50
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: X / GDM has started !06:50
elkbuntuJordan_U, how did you do that?!06:50
Jordan_Uelkbuntu: installed ati drivers and started gdm, gnome-session is started also :)06:51
Jordan_UI am going to try to pastebin / connect from X06:51
elkbuntuimagine that06:51
elkbuntui suspect the problem with the vesa was certain modules enabled, btw06:51
