sbalneavHow's it going?04:41
moquistgood04:41
moquistworkin' on the non-wwwconfig moodle package04:41
moquistnot sure what to call it04:41
moquistgiven that 'moodle' is already packaged, and this is the same *version*, so moodle<version> doesn't make sense as a package name (like, for example, bind9, dhcp3, etc.)04:42
sbalneavmoodle-alternate?04:42

moquistI suspect that regardless of what I pick, it will be changed later, anyway. (If, indeed, my work goes in and ogra doesn't just whip this out in 15 minutes some afternoon.)04:44
=== moquist goes with moodle-alt for now
sbalneavWelp, need a shower, and some bacon and eggs.  And coffee.  Off to cook for the family.  I'll idle.04:48

sbalneavShould be able to.06:24

CapsterI have a valid ethernet card 3com, it shows up,06:24
Capsterjust added network manager06:24
sbalneavYou installed network manager in dapper?06:25
Capsterlive cd yes DD606106:26
sbalneavIIRC, Network Manager was fairly broken until edgy.06:27
Capsteroh ok, I have never used linux until now, have used unix before though,06:28
sbalneavNetwork manager's fairly new.  With the stock cd, it should just configure the interface with dhcp06:28
Capstershould I have to add/remove anything to get connected?06:29
sbalneavSo as long as you've got a dhcp server aon the network, it should work.06:29
sbalneavNo, shouldn't06:29
CapsterI read that on xubuntu I would use ppoeconf, edu gives err on that command dpkg -s ppoeconf -----not found06:33
sbalneavAre you plugging the dsl modem straight into the computer?06:34

CapsterI can't copy/paste, I'm using a seperate win2k lappy to connect here06:39
sbalneavok, well what interfaces does it report, and what ip addresses does it display?06:40
sbalneavi.e., on mine06:40
sbalneaveth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0F:EA:3A:12:DD06:40
sbalneav          inet addr:192.168.0.23  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.006:40
Capstereth0 is my ethernet card, says inet6 addr:fe80::210::4bff::fed3:30e1/6406:42
Capsterbroadcast running multicast06:43
sbalneavDoesn't have an inet addr, i.e. not an ipv6?06:43
Capstersays lo is loopbackm and sit0 isIPv6-in-IPv406:44
sbalneavok, then your ethernet interface isn't leasing an ip address from the DSL router06:45
sbalneavtry manually poking it:06:45
sbalneavsudo ifdown eth006:45
sbalneavthen06:45
sbalneavsudo ifup eth006:45
Capsterinteresting, DHCPdiscover 6 times, NodhcpOffers recieved....no working leases...sleeping06:48
sbalneavok06:50
Capsteron another windows machine ipconfig /all says subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, but the dhcpdiscover was 255.255.255.25506:50
sbalneavso, either your dhcp on your little dsl router's borked, or it's not handing out addresses because you're not just dynamically handing out addresses, or, you've got a cabling problem.06:53
sbalneavHow many ports you have used on the dsl router06:53
Capster406:53
Capsterit was working as far as I know06:54
sbalneavmany of them have 2 ports that are really one port: a "normal" and a "crossover" port.  If you've got cables plugged into both the normal and crossover ports, one of 'em won't work.06:54
sbalneavCheck and see if the card thinks it sees a hub/switch:06:54
sbalneavsudo mii-tool eth006:54
Capsterall 4 have been previously used to connect other windows pc06:55
Capsterlink ok06:56
Capster100baseTx-FD06:56
sbalneavWell, the box thinks it's connected to a switch, so that's good.06:56
Capsterin the network settings-hosts tab, I see ip6 aliases,06:57
sbalneavYou could, if you wanted, just go to System->Administration->Networking, and try assigning a static address temporarily, just to ensure that it will talk that way.06:57
sbalneavIgnore anything ipv606:58
sbalneavit06:58
sbalneavit's meaningless for you.  You're not connected to anything ipv6 compatible.06:58
Capsterso delete all the ip6 info?06:58
sbalneavjust ignore it.06:58
Capsterdoes alias matter what I put?06:59
sbalneavShouldn't07:00
Capsterin the properties it looks like I can set a static IP....do I need to touch that?07:01
Capsteror, ethernet card properties07:01
sbalneavEthernet card properties07:02
Capsterand should I create a location?07:02
sbalneavI wouldn't bother07:02
sbalneavWe're just going to set something up temporarily to see if it can talk.07:02
sbalneavafter that, you'll want to set it back to dhcp, and figure out why your dhcp server on your router isn't giving it an address.07:03
Capsterit is a 2wire gateway any known issue ?07:04

sbalneavnetstat -nr should show you configured gateways07:11

sbalneav0.0.0.0 is the "default" route.07:12
Capsterhmm, shows gateway as 0.0.0.007:12
sbalneavAnd what is your gateway?07:12
CapsterI put in the gateway address in the form,it's not 0.0.0.0.07:14
sbalneavDo you have an IP address on the interface now?07:16
sbalneavYou could set the gateway fromthe command line with:07:17
sbalneavsudo route add -net default gw ww.xx.yy.xx07:17
CapsterI had it set in the ethernet card properties.07:17
Capsterroute added but, siocart: file exists07:23
sbalneavah, sorry07:23
sbalneav route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1 metric 107:23
Capsterwhat I added was 192.168.1.25407:26
sbalneavok07:27
sbalneavSo, now you've got a route set?07:27
Capsterstill can't ping anything07:27
sbalneavNothing on your local network?07:28
jbrefortCapster, what's the address of the gateway?07:28
Capsternot even the gw, 192.168.1.25407:29
sbalneavWhat's the ifconfig eth0 command give?07:29
sbalneavI need to know the ip addr, netmask, and broadcast07:29

sbalneavAnd what's the ip address of your laptop?07:40
Capster.6607:42
Capsterit looks like the router assigns them sequentially, I skipped a few, maybe I should try the next in order07:44
sbalneavso if you ping 192.168.1.66, you get nothing?07:44
Capsterhost unreachable07:44
sbalneavThen you've got some kind of hardware problem.07:47
sbalneavEither the network cable, or the card itself.07:47
Capsterk, will check into it...thanks for the help07:50

AthanasiusHow can I see all the machines connected to my dhcp?08:42
mindslant1 sec08:42
sbalneavAthanasius: Depends on your dhcp server08:43
sbalneavAre you wanting to know how many leases you've issued?08:43
sbalneavor do you want to know how many thin clients you have logged into your server?08:43
Athanasiusyes08:44
sbalneavUse Thin CLient Manager08:44
Athanasiusactually, I am trying to connect a printer... i will try to explain08:44
mindslanthttp://pastebin.com/d487ea72908:45
AthanasiusI have the standard 2 nic LTSP setup08:45
sbalneavmindslant: Well, that looks ok08:45
AthanasiusI have a networked printer running to the server08:45
Athanasiusvia the router08:46
mindslantgood news08:46
Athanasiusthe clients are in another room and it is not expedient to run wire from the printer that I want the clients to use all the way to the server08:46
AthanasiusI was thinking that I can connect the printer (it is also a network printer) to the same switch that the clients are connected to08:47
Athanasiusin order to install the printer to the network that the clients are on.  I do not intend to use the printer from the server08:48
Athanasiusclear as mud?08:48
AthanasiusI want to be able to see what ip address the client printer is so that I can add it in cups08:49
sbalneavDoes the printer obtain it's ip address via dhcp?08:49
AthanasiusI suppose the question would be, Is this the right approach?08:49
AthanasiusI think if I connect the printer to the client network then eth1 would assign it an ip08:50
sbalneavBad idea.08:50
sbalneavThe ip addresses it will be assigned will be dynamic08:50
sbalneavSo it won't be guarenteed that it will STAY on that address08:51
Athanasiusok08:51
sbalneavIt may work for a while, but if the dhcp server decides to assign your printer a different IP address for some reason, your printing will break.08:51
Athanasiusthat's true, I have had that problem before.08:52
sbalneavAs well, if you put the printer on the side with the terminals, it will end up being accessible only to the clients.  Anyone else who printed to it before will not find it anymore.08:52
AthanasiusI don't need access to the printer from the server so that is not what I am worried about08:53
Athanasiussounds strange maybe08:54
sbalneavEdubuntu by default sets up the dhcp server to assign dynamic addresses in the range of 20-25008:54
sbalneavSo, what I'd suggest is: use the printer's front panel admin interface to assign it a static address in the range of 1-1908:55
sbalneavput it on the client network then, and set up cups with the static interface.08:55
sbalneavThat will get you what you want without any dhcp hinkiness.08:55
Athanasiusi will look into that08:56
Athanasiusthanks, you have helped me yet again08:56
sbalneavmindslant: As for you, I'm at a loss.08:56
sbalneavThe files it needs are there.08:57
sbalneavcan you run the program as someone else?08:57
