=== persia_ is now known as persia [17:34] could someone explain why i seem to have lost 7GB of space, please. i have 160GB hard drive (ie in reality 149+); i have heron installed and moved in some files gparted confimrs i am using 10Gb plus 5-77 as swap file so i should have 133gb free. iWhen i browse folders though I only have 126 free. I've noticed this since the install I seem to be missing about 7gb. [17:35] pembs: ext3 keeps 5% for root [17:35] blue-frog: ok thanks, so thats permanently reserved? [17:36] man tune2fs if you want to have less kept, but beware having some space leftover helps your computer [17:36] thanks [17:38] another question. I cant seem to get terminal to see my external drive. the drive mounts and i can use the folders to move things around, but whenever i have typed a terminal command, I can't seem to get it to communicate with the external drive. I did one command, I can't recall which to tell me the external media and the drive came up in blue === rzr is now known as RzR === RzR is now known as rZr [22:29] hola, ompaul [22:30] ompaul: more info on my system: it's a clean install of 8.04 + all upgrades upto today. [22:30] I made sure I've generated the keys AFTRER upgrading the damn sshd [22:31] I've pushed the public and private key to the debian client. [22:31] just in case ubuntu doesn't like debian-generated ones. [22:32] and made them ~/.ssh/id_dsa (As private key), and owned by connecting user, and moded as 600. [22:32] the public key's been added to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys [22:33] I've even created a link /root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 [22:33] just in case... [22:34] which is the server? [22:35] ubuntu is server? [22:36] * ompaul waits a moment [22:36] sobersabre, ? [22:37] yep.. [22:37] ubuntu is the server. [22:37] debian 4.0 (also updated && upgraded ) is a client, connecting as root [22:38] ok so you made a comment about ~/.ssh/id_dsa [22:38] personally I use rsa but it should be of no merit ;-) [22:39] ompaul: lemme try rsa... [22:39] if it works, something is fishy in ssh package. [22:39] sobersabre, it makes no odds what is wrong is the key is not in right package [22:39] sorry [22:39] place [22:40] sobersabre, firstly openssh-server is running on ubuntu? [22:40] sobersabre, remember I don't know what your keystrokes were so I don't know if you got it all right (well obviously you did not ;-() [22:41] ompaul: RSA key worked. [22:41] ha! [22:41] so... it IS a mess in SSH package. [22:41] how do I bugreport ? [22:42] launchpad.net [22:42] I think I've got an account there... [22:42] you will do if you don't ;-) [22:42] hehehe [22:42] I'll leave it with you [22:42] have fun [22:42] thanks for "holding hands" :) [22:43] I'm pissed off, I thought I'd finish till now something I'm only now starting :( [22:43] I think it should be titled "dsa keys generated by ubuntu-8.04 openssh package are regected as being from vulnerable server. [22:45] no it would say that it was rejecting it [22:45] what it said was it could not find them [22:46] hmm... it's weirder. [22:50] sobersabre, I would nuke the dsa keys and start again [22:50] sobersabre, you can't afford to get it wrong [22:57] ompaul: this is not the 1st time or day I am using keys. [22:57] I didn't do any errors on that one. [22:57] I made 3 repeatitions on generation, copy, retry. [22:57] sobersabre, you got bug [22:57] so, I am CERTAIN the problem is with DSA handling. [22:58] I don't have time to debug it really. [22:58] so, I've reported. [22:59] ompaul: can you try this, and confirm I'm wrong ? [22:59] I mean try using dsa key, and login as root with it... ? [23:00] na I don't do root [23:00] at all [23:00] ever [23:01] my virtual consoles do not allow virtual root [23:01] but real ones do :) [23:02] this only means you're surely not into clusters.... [23:02] I don't root into open servers. [23:02] but intern. networks, etc. is something else. [23:04] sobersabre, I have multiple desktop servers and I server multiple desktops ;-) with ancillary services [23:05] so correct I don't do clusters given the geographical nature of the company [23:05] hmmm... whatever the 1st sentence means... [23:05] :) [23:06] sobersabre, I don't serve applications much, I serve wmaker desktops or gnome or kde depending on the person / role [23:06] you mean you're running a GDM/XDM over IP ? [23:07] I mean, remote graphic logins... [23:07] or VNC ?
