owhIs there any reason that the ubuntu-jeos-builder script installs stuff like alsa or is that just because it's in main?00:19

Centaur5I'm trying to setup chillispot and freeradius and it appears that everything should be working but when I try to login it says login failed.  syslog says that the radius request times out.  When running radtest on the radius server it does accept my credentials.  Do I have to open mysql to accept connections from other hosts?02:17
mralphabetCentaur5: is the radius request from a different machine?02:36
mralphabetCentaur5: if so, then probably02:36
Centaur5mralphabet: Well the wireless client connects to chillispot on the radius server which is forwarded to a hotspotlogin script.  I'm probably wrong but I just assumed chillispot controls everything else that goes on and would seem to be coming from localhost to the other daemons.02:40

_rubenhmm .. having a problem with ubuntu server gutsy under vmware:09:18
_ruben* Loading hardware drivers...09:19
_rubenerror receiving uevent message: No buffer space available09:19
bluefoxicyanyone know about the new encrypted lvm in gutsy15:03
bluefoxicyparticularly how to change the password15:03
sorenbluefoxicy: I guess you have to add a new key and remove the old one.15:07
sorenbluefoxicy: cryptsetup(8) is your friend.15:08
bluefoxicysoren: fixed in hardy right?  ;)15:09
bluefoxicyGUI tools etc???15:09
sorenbluefoxicy: No.15:09
bluefoxicybah, I can dream :P15:09
sorenbluefoxicy: You can't fix something that's not broken.15:09
bluefoxicymissing useful feature == broken15:10
sorenThat's hardly useful.15:10
bluefoxicyjust lower priority than crashers and holes15:10
sorenIn that case all software is broken. Perpetually so.15:10
sorenWhich renders any efforts towards the opposite useless.15:11
bluefoxicyno15:11
sorenYes.15:11
sorenHow's that for an argument.15:11
soren?15:11
bluefoxicyhave you ever noticed some software is abandonware and unmaintained?15:11
sorenYes.15:11
sorenPoint being?15:11
bluefoxicyand that software eventually gets replaced by something else actively maintained?15:11
sorenYes....15:12
sorengo on.15:12
bluefoxicyThe assessment that all software is perpetually broken is correct15:12
bluefoxicyBut the fact is15:12
bluefoxicyyou can make the software less broken now, but it becomes more broken when someone else looks at it and goes "it should do XXXX" and 10% of the user base nods its heads15:12
sorenSo bugs don't exist until they're observed?15:13
bluefoxicyso, effectively, untouched software simply decays, as it becomes less and less suited to peoples' needs15:13
bluefoxicyYES :D15:13
sorenThat's not very useful either.15:13
bluefoxicyit doesn't have to be useful, it's just the truth15:14
sorenWe have too different views of what constitutes truth for this conversation to have any point in continuing.15:15
dantalizinglol15:15
bluefoxicyit's an observed fact then ;p15:15
sorenWe have too different views of what constitutes facts for this conversation to have any point in continuing.15:15
bluefoxicypornview was great until a year or two after it stopped getting maintained for example15:15
dantalizingso, does windows 3.1, for instance, have more bugs now than in 1993 because its missing features?15:16
sorendantalizing: Depends... Noone's using it, so noone's observing said lack of features.15:16
bluefoxicydantalizing:  could you use windows 3.1 on a daily basis to get your work done effectively in 1993 without much trouble besides random hangs?15:16
sorenbluefoxicy: Is that a rhetorical question? Is this?15:16
bluefoxicywell15:17
kronus_Hi, I'm having a problem with my server's routing table, I think15:17
bluefoxicypoint, back when 3.1 came out it landed on a bunch of business desktops.  The had e-mail and word and image processing apps and databases and proprietary applications and all kinds of specialized things15:17
dantalizingok, windows 98... i know some of the freegeek chapters are installing windows98 because they have old PCs.. .does windows98 have more bugs now than in 1999?15:17
sorenkronus_: What's the problem?15:18
MenZaI'd hope not :p15:18
kronus_the problem is that `man route` is not clear on what the routing table actually does15:18
bluefoxicyTODAY, if you go to an insurance company or to a dentist office or anything else and drop 3.1 in, it won't authenticate to the domain, won't run their proprietary apps, and won't run much else15:18
kronus_and I'm having trouble accessing one subnet of my college network from another (wireless -> wired)15:18
sorenkronus_: Well... It doesn't do much. It's a table :) The kernel does something based on its contents, though :)15:18
kronus_and... I know the problem is an extra route somewhere, because it's been fixed before that way15:19
kronus_but apparently only temporarily15:19
kronus_soren - what does the kernel do with it?15:19
sorenroutes15:19
sorenClever, huh?  :)15:19
kronus_ok, back to basics :P what is a route?15:19
bluefoxicya routing table basically says "I have 2 interfaces.  Stuff going here goes out this one"15:19
sorenIt takes packets' destination IP, looks it up in the table and sends it to whereever the routing table says it should go.15:20
kronus_ok, I have 5 routes in my table15:20
kronus_and only 2 interfaces15:20
sorenThat's fine.15:20
sorenPut the output of "route -n" on pastebin.15:20
soren...along with a simple explanation of your network and then tell us the specific problem, you're seeing.15:21
soren!pastebin15:21
ubotupastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)15:21
kronus_that's exactly what I'm doing15:21
sorenCool15:21
CarstenQHi o/, I've just installed Ubuntu server 7.10 (Gutsy) with the OpenSSH server (4.6p1), but when trying to ssh from or to my Mac OS X 10.4.11 (ssh 4.5p1) the user or password isn't recognized (keeps asking for password), though it returns no errors. Anyone care to guess the problem?15:21
sorenCarstenQ: Wrong password?15:21
dantalizing+115:22
sorenIt's not meant to give you any errors.15:22
sorenThat would give an attacker too much informatino.15:22
bluefoxicyCarstenQ:  as a guess, MacOSX is stupid.  Next question.15:22
CarstenQyeah, guessed that, so i made an extreme simple username + pw15:22
sorenCarstenQ: Look in /var/log/auth.log15:22
CarstenQhaha, noticed that15:22
bluefoxicysoren:  indeed.  I've seen such systems, they were easier to break into (found default users, looked up default passwords ;)15:22
sorenCarstenQ: It's likely to give you info on why your login was rejected.15:22
CarstenQlooking for it now15:23
dantalizingdo you have any DenyUsers or DenyGroups in your sshd_config?15:23
CarstenQerm, I can't find that log in /var/log or /private/var/log, 'nother Mac thing?15:24
sorenEr... Forget the mac.15:25
CarstenQnot that I know of (didn't change anything from fresh install)15:25
soren...or ask someone else about it.15:25
sorenLook on the Ubuntu box.15:25
CarstenQnope, no denied users or groups15:25
CarstenQwell, thanks for the help anyway :)15:26
sorenCarstenQ: We can help you with the failing to login on Ubuntu.15:26
sorenCarstenQ: The other way? Not so much.15:27
PecisDarbsHow to properly enable site to work with mod_perl?15:27
PecisDarbsin Apache15:27
PecisDarbsGoogle is full of suggestions, but nothing concrete15:27
CarstenQyeah, shame I don't have an ubuntu box any more to test it with15:27
sorenCarstenQ: Eh?15:28
sorenCarstenQ: 16:21:42 < ~CarstenQ> Hi o/, I've just installed Ubuntu server 7.10 (Gutsy) with the OpenSSH server (4.6p1),15:28
CarstenQyou mean I should try to ssh from the server to itself? is that possible?15:28
* CarstenQ starts trying15:29
sorenCarstenQ: From your mac to ubuntu.15:29
sorenCarstenQ: Or from the server to the server is fine, too.15:29
dantalizingCarstenQ i think the point is you need to check the /var/log/auth.log on the ubuntu machine that you cannot ssh to, not your mac15:30
CarstenQah, ok, misunderstood that15:30
sorenPecisDarbs: Noone is is likely to give you more exact and concrete info than google... It's pointless. People have spent a lot of time writing the stuff you found from google, and now you want us to write all the same stuff again.15:30
kronus_soren - http://rafb.net/p/OoALbZ20.html15:30
sorenkronus_: That's not the output of "route -n"15:30
kronus_>__> yeah, that's route -v15:31
kronus_force of habit, one sec15:31
kronus_http://rafb.net/p/us9ZgB76.html15:31
sorenkronus_: The computer is on both networks.15:32
CarstenQsoren: found the log, will type in pastebox15:32
kronus_only the wireless link is active (eth1)15:32
sorenkronus_: No.15:32
kronus_..oh15:32
kronus_well, only the wireless link is SUPPOSED to be active15:33
kronus_which routes should I try to get rid of?15:33
sorenkronus_: You should disable the wired network altogether.15:34
sorenkronus_: ifdown eth0 (if eth0 is the wired)15:34
kronus_ifdown eth0?15:34
kronus_ok, trying15:34
sorenif eth0 is the wired network.15:34
kronus_it is15:34
kronus_and... it works15:34
kronus_thanks15:34
sorenYay.15:34
sorenYou might want to remove "auto eth0" from /etc/network/interfaces15:35
CarstenQHmm, my roommate just came in with his ubuntu laptop and has no problems to ssh to the server...15:35
rodpodwhats the difference between auto eth0 and the allow-hotplug eth015:35
kronus_soren  - this server is an old laptop I have, and sometimes I have it on the wired net15:36
kronus_wouldn't removing 'auto eth0' then stop any automatic network switching?15:37
sorenrodpod: It's in the interfaces(5) man page.15:37
sorenkronus_: It clearly was causing you more trouble than it was fixing?15:38
kronus_ok, what the hell15:38
rodpoddamn, i got man page'd15:38
kronus_there's a new route15:38
rodpodlol15:38
kronus_and it doesn't work again :/15:38
CarstenQsoren: /var/log/auth.log shows nothing when I try to log in, though when in verbose mode ssh says: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48547/15:38
sorenCarstenQ: Ah.. It's your client that's doing it wrong.15:39
sorenCarstenQ: Keyboard-interactive is disabled by default.15:39
sorenCarstenQ: In favour of password.15:39
CarstenQsoren: Ah ok... so I guess it's fixable and the answer is in the man page ;)15:39
kronus_soren - something automatically added a route for eth0 just now, even though eth0 is down15:40
sorenkronus_: Then eth0 is not down.15:40
sorenkronus_: ...anymore.15:40
kronus_ifdown: interface eth0 not configured15:41
kronus_bringing it up and back down removed the extra route15:41
sorenYou probably have a dhclient running..15:41
sorenThat keeps configuring it.15:41
MatBoydoes someone know a good opensource bootcd that can image HD's to a networkshare ?15:42
maswanthe default ubuntu one should have netcat available, it can do that kind of thing15:43
maswan(just a bit tricky)15:43
MatBoyok15:48
MatBoythanks15:48
maswansomething like "nc server 2318 < /dev/hda" and on the server "nc -l -p 2318 > client.hda.imgage"15:52
maswanexcept with the right syntax etc, that's from mostly memory. :)15:52
rodpodthat sounds pretty cool, never thought of using nc to image15:55
adelieHello. I want to setup an LTSP server, but don't want it to be the DHCP. Is it possible to setup a thin clients boot loader to get the image some way other than the traditional 'network boot'?16:53
adelieerr... LDAP.. sorry16:54
compbrainadelie: For what did you mean LDAP?17:18
