| Kludge^WalesUK | anyone here to hear me whine? :P | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| veNom_bz | do you need help? | 00:10 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | yeah, i think so. Trying to get a ubuntu-server installation working virtually first so it'll be `easier` when i have a remote box | 00:11 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | i can't get gdm & freenx to play nicely | 00:13 |
| veNom_bz | can this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=736509&highlight=ssh+login | 00:14 |
| * Kludge^WalesUK clix | 00:14 | |
| Kludge^WalesUK | hmm, might do, may need to add gdm as a user... will brb and see | 00:16 |
| veNom_bz | can i ask why you're using nx for an ubuntu server.... there is no gui, gdm,window manger, xserver, what have you....? | 00:17 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | i will have gdm running as well as and X, wine + uTorrent | 00:17 |
| veNom_bz | mmmmm | 00:18 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | VNC would probably be fine, but FreeNX seems so much quicker | 00:18 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | I can't get FreeNX working `optimally` as it is, I have to use "Shadowing" mode, rather than Gnome/KDE/CDE | 00:19 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | might see if I can just get to xinit without gdm/xfce4 installed | 00:20 |
| veNom_bz | you can set up vnc over ssh and dial down the "data" requested with your vnc client | 00:21 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | yeah, VNC seems a lot more reliable and risk-free right now. FreeNX NEEDS a windowing environment, and if you can't startx or xinit over SSH, you're screwed pretty much | 00:22 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | luckily i'm virtualizing everything at the moment... A raw ubuntu server installation and an SSH client (which is what my server will have) I then SSH into the VMWare session... so its as "close as possible" to real life circumstances :) | 00:24 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | you still about veNom_bz ? | 00:33 |
| veNom_bz | yes | 00:35 |
| veNom_bz | i didn't detect a question | 00:36 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | ok, this should be a really simple question =/ but knowing my luck its not | 00:36 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | ok, my VMWare installation i can run xinit fine... i do a whami and its kludge (correct) but when i SSH into my VMWare session i cannot xinit... i have to sudo xinit and the whoami says root =\ | 00:37 |
| veNom_bz | do you have a user with a userid of root? | 00:38 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | no idea. but all i done over VMWare is installed SSH, the rest i've done over SSH to the bridged VMWare session.... the user when i installed it was kludge... who when i do anything administrative i still have to sudo | 00:39 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | what'd you suggest, veNom_bz? :) | 00:41 |
| veNom_bz | i don't think you're really root in your vm? try "id" does it return a uid of 0? | 00:41 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | one second | 00:41 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | kludge has a uid of 1000 | 00:42 |
| veNom_bz | no man | 00:42 |
| veNom_bz | in the vm? that is where your problem is right, you're saying xint doesn't run with sudo in your vm correct? | 00:43 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | in the VM you can xinit fine... but over SSH i cannot since that, ultimately, is where i'll need to xinit from | 00:44 |
| veNom_bz | odd not a problem i've encoutered sorry. you'll need to do some searching or perhaps someone else can assist | 00:44 |
| Kludge^WalesUK | ouch =\ thanks for trying :thumbsup: | 00:45 |

| _ruben | bah .. aparently net-snmpd doesnt have a feature to have your configuration spread over various files and use a wildcard to include them :( | 13:55 |
| phaidros | hi, what would be a recommended way if one wants to use trac 0.11 instead of the packaged trac 0.10.4 ? | 14:12 |
| phaidros | while: having some instances of 0.10.4 already running .. | 14:12 |
| _ruben | phaidros: use the source package to create a proper binary package for 0.11 .. or search the web for a ready made package of 0.11 .. the binary package can then be used to upgrade your 0.10.4 install | 14:38 |
| phaidros | _ruben: thanks, but that could break actually the dkpg repo, which should take care of all installed stuff imho ;) | 14:51 |
| phaidros | well, not the repo, but the install of trac .. | 14:51 |
| phaidros | so, when sooner or later, the ubuntu guys are done packaging 0.11.2 an upgrade might fail | 14:52 |
| _ruben | 0.11.2 would replace 0.11 again | 14:52 |
| _ruben | as long as you stick to the versioning rules, you're ok .. installing it from source for example would be far worse | 14:53 |
| phaidros | _ruben: so to what kind of source package are you referring? tar.gz ? how to make a bin package out of it? or are you referring to .deb packages? | 14:55 |
| phaidros | _ruben: could you point to a certain documentation? | 14:58 |
| _ruben | sudo apt-get source trac (assuming trac is the (binary) package name) | 14:59 |
| _ruben | lets see if i can find the docs i used | 14:59 |
| phaidros | _ruben: apt-get source is clear, but then further I'm stumbling blind :) | 14:59 |
| _ruben | http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-update.en.html | 15:00 |
| _ruben | thats a decent starting point | 15:00 |
| _ruben | took me some time to get my head around it aswell, but once you do its rather logical ;) | 15:00 |
| phaidros | kewl, thanx | 15:05 |

| srastin | I've installed libnss-ldap in Hardy Heron once and now need to change the configuration details. When I run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure libnss-ldap" nothing happens. Any ideas? | 19:07 |
| sommer | srastin: you're probably looking for sudo dpkg-reconfigure ldap-auth-client | 19:10 |
| srastin | sommer: Thanks. I'll give it a shot in a sec. | 19:15 |
| srastin | sommer: Nothing appears to happen when I run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure ldap-auth-client". I'm trying to get back to the blue screens displayed in http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/HOWTO:_Configure_Ubuntu_for_Active_Directory_Authentication#Accounts | 19:28 |
| sommer | srastin: err, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure ldap-auth-config | 19:30 |
| sommer | it's one of those | 19:30 |
| srastin | bingo. Thanks. :) | 19:30 |
| sommer | srastin: np | 19:30 |
| sommer | srastin: if you just want AD auth you might take a look at the likewise-open package... handles all the gritty details for you :) | 19:31 |
