[00:10] <Kludge^WalesUK> anyone here to hear me whine? :P
[00:10] <veNom_bz> do you need help?
[00:11] <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
[00:13] <Kludge^WalesUK> i can't get gdm & freenx to play nicely
[00:14] <veNom_bz> can this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=736509&highlight=ssh+login
[00:14]  * Kludge^WalesUK clix
[00:16] <Kludge^WalesUK> hmm, might do, may need to add gdm as a user... will brb and see
[00:17] <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
[00:18] <veNom_bz> mmmmm
[00:18] <Kludge^WalesUK> VNC would probably be fine, but FreeNX seems so much quicker
[00:19] <Kludge^WalesUK> I can't get FreeNX working `optimally` as it is, I have to use "Shadowing" mode, rather than Gnome/KDE/CDE
[00:20] <Kludge^WalesUK> might see if I can just get to xinit without gdm/xfce4 installed
[00:21] <veNom_bz> you can set up vnc over ssh and dial down the "data" requested with your vnc client
[00:22] <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
[00:24] <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 :)
[00:33] <Kludge^WalesUK> you still about veNom_bz ?
[00:35] <veNom_bz> yes
[00:36] <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
[00:37] <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 =\
[00:38] <veNom_bz> do you have a user with a userid of root?
[00:39] <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
[00:41] <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
[00:42] <Kludge^WalesUK> kludge has a uid of 1000
[00:42] <veNom_bz> no man
[00:43] <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?
[00:44] <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
[00:45] <Kludge^WalesUK> ouch =\ thanks for trying :thumbsup:
[03:02] <Kludge^WalesUK> anyone familiar with FreeNX or any other remote administration app (VNC?) lurking
[04:19] <IBeLeeB> greetings..... anyone have any experience with format and partition of large drives? I'm trying to get a 6Tb scsi raid 5 up and running, and not having much luck.
[04:58] <Dedi> my bind is up and running, but it seems not to load my zones

[13:19] <sommer> morning all
[13:22] <lukehasnoname> morning
[13:55] <_ruben> bah .. aparently net-snmpd doesnt have a feature to have your configuration spread over various files and use a wildcard to include them :(
[14:12] <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 ..
[14:38] <_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
[14:51] <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 ..
[14:52] <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
[14:53] <_ruben> as long as you stick to the versioning rules, you're ok .. installing it from source for example would be far worse
[14:55] <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?
[14:58] <phaidros> _ruben: could you point to a certain documentation?
[14:59] <_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 :)
[15:00] <_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 ;)
[15:05] <phaidros> kewl, thanx
[15:56] <ikkon> Is there a program I can use to link a few networked ubuntu computers together to make my own "supercomputer"?

[17:24] <nealmcb> kirkland: cool
[17:28] <nealmcb> kirkland: how about .deb support, and packaging it?
[17:28] <kirkland> nealmcb: i haven't touched it in 2+ years
[17:28] <nealmcb> re: final score = 0.0494083111275749 - I think you need a bit more precision there.... :/
[17:28] <kirkland> nealmcb: but jdstrand and I were just talking about it ;-)
[17:29] <kirkland> nealmcb: it could easily be taught to do deb's
[17:52] <jdstrand> nealmcb: heh

[19:07] <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?
[19:10] <sommer> srastin: you're probably looking for sudo dpkg-reconfigure ldap-auth-client
[19:15] <srastin> sommer: Thanks.  I'll give it a shot in a sec.
[19:28] <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
[19:30] <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
[19:31] <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 :)
[19:32] <srastin> I'll check it out right now.  Thanks for the recommendation.
[19:32] <sommer> you're welcome
[19:33] <sommer> srastin: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/likewise-open.html  as well
[19:33] <cmdln> anyone do much preseeding?
[19:34] <cmdln> I cant seem to find the syntax to exclude a package when preseeding

[21:13] <emgent> people take a look http://en.emanuele-gentili.com/index.php/2008/07/17/rapache-05-is-out-go-to-test-it/
[21:25] <nealmcb> emgent: several clicks in and I still don't know what rapache is - some sort of "about" would be handy
[21:26] <emgent> For those who doesn’t know Rapache (ra-pa-che), n. 1. a python + GTK tool that uses the SSH protocol (one day, still local right now) to manage and configure apache2 and all of its modules. GPL`d, Its goal is to provide the user with a simple interface to facilitate the work to those who want to set up a web-server in a few clicks. 2. Rapacious bird (italian: rapace)

[22:38] <specialKevin> Anybody know a fix for 32bit Hardy running as a Xen Guest where networking doesn't work, 32 and 64bit Dapper run just fine as Xen guest along with Debian Etch
[22:39] <specialKevin> when I looked through launchpad I saw a bunch of issues but a lot for running Hardy as the host
[22:46] <Hillaballoo> hey all, I'm having a problem with VNC and KVM...everything I type is gibberish in the host OS
[22:59] <Hillaballoo> aha!  None of the VNC clients work properly when run remotely from X11 on a mac
[23:01] <Dedi> what mailserver is good and easy to setup for small env?
[23:17] <hads> Dedi: Postfix is good
