Bill_MIJust wanted to replace an aging NT5 utility box that does DNS, mail, ftp, web, etc01:34
Bill_MIBeen looking at Webmin but it looks like it conflicts with other setups.01:34
PumpkinPiethe box is at a data center or office?01:34
Bill_MINope, home use only.01:35
Bill_MIIt looked like it would run well... except encryption (SSL, HTTPS) bogs it right down.01:36
Bill_MIBIND9 with the latest patches runs great!01:36

Koryo_SandersHiya all, anyone up for saving me? i can't seem to get my interfaces file back :(17:44
* Nafallo doesn't have your interfaces file17:44
* _ruben neither17:47
Koryoerm.... well i re-wrote it, and in the same directory, but every time i restart /etc/init.d/networking, i get "/etc/network/interfaces:5: duplicate interface" and under that "ifdown: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces" then another 2 lines exactly the same exept ifdown is iifup.17:48
Koryo(all done with sudo, after i originally changed the file without sudo, screwing it up...)17:49
_rubenpastebin the contents of ur interfaces file .. like it says, it most likely contains duplicates17:50
Koryo_ruben, it really doesn't lol, and i can't pastebin it because its not connected to the net xD17:51
Koryoline 1) auto lo   line 2) iface lo inet loopback   line 4) auto eth0    line 5) iface lo inet dhcp17:51
_rubenline 5 is wrong17:52
_rubenit says17:52
_rubenit says lo instead of eth017:52
_rubenlike it said .. duplicate :)17:52
_rubenduplicate of line 2 that is17:52
Koryo0_0 blimey.... xD Thank you ^_^17:52
KoryoYAY! it works! thank you very much _ruben!17:53

frithi was debating about setting up a repo of standard version of apps for all supported versions,  for example ldap and bacula18:36
KoryoJust curious - Whats a resume image? i keep seeing it at  boot...18:40
guntbertimho its for 'suspend to disk'18:48
=== araneina is now known as hibana
frithKoryo, well my laptop just suspended, however i had an encrypted partition and things went a little wrong,18:54
Koryoer.... sounds tricky :s18:56
frithwell solution was to format the swap18:56
frithhowever i think i will just keep it unecrypted18:56
Koryohow does an encrypted swap benafit you?18:57
frithKoryo, well if private data gets swaped to disk, any security i once had from the encrypted data partition has gone19:00
Koryodoesn't swap get erased on reboot? i thought swap was used like RAM?19:00
frithnope19:01
frithyou would have to wipe everything which would slow your boot time to ...19:02
Koryohmm... *googles swap partition*19:03
frithif i hack to debian/control i can change the depends?19:11

Koryo_Sanderscan anyone tell me what SIOCADDRT means please?19:28
mok0Koryo_Sanders: In what context?19:34
Koryo_Sandersmok0, in that every time i try "ifup eht0" i get that and "no such process", then the "failed to bring up eht0." message.19:42
NafalloKoryo_Sanders: try eth0? :-)19:43
Koryo_Sanderslol misstyped on here, it is eth0 xD19:43
mok0hehe19:44
Koryo_Sandersthis time i have an internet connection on my desktop. i have attempted to modify my interfaces file in /etc/network again. would anyone mind taking a look for me?19:44
mok0pastebin it19:45
Koryo_Sandershttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/40228/19:49
mok0Koryo_Sanders: the gateway needs to be on the same network19:50
Koryo_Sandersas?19:50
Koryo_Sandersbecause im trying to route information from that ethernet card, throught the wireless card to my router19:51
mok0Koryo_Sanders: eth019:51
mok0Koryo_Sanders: 200.0.0.119:51
mok0Koryo_Sanders: normally, that would be the gateway19:51
mok0Koryo_Sanders: but that depends on how your network is set up19:51
Koryo_Sandersbasically - router 192.168.1.1, this desktop on DHCP (the pastebin file is on this desktop), and another desktop connected to the eth0 port.19:52
mok0Koryo_Sanders: so you want desktop#1 to function as a router?19:53
Koryo_Sanderspreferably yep19:54
mok0Koryo_Sanders: you should look up the linux router howto19:54
mok0Koryo_Sanders: you need 2 cards19:55
Koryo_Sandersi have 319:55
mok0Koryo_Sanders: network cards19:55
mok0:-)19:55
Koryo_Sanders2 eth (once the others installed) and 1 wireless19:55
mok0Koryo_Sanders: then you need to set your desktop up so it will route traffic from one card to the other19:56
Koryo_Sandersrouting tables?19:56
mok0Koryo_Sanders: to tell you the truth, I've never done it. I think there are a couple of different ways to do it. One way is to use iptables19:57
Koryo_Sanderswould you know of any limitations to that?19:57
mok0But you also need to configure the cards19:57
mok0Koryo_Sanders: iptables, you mean?19:57
Koryo_Sandersconfigure the cards? how so? im using crossover cables. yep thats what i mean19:57
mok0configure the cards with IP numbers, etc19:58
mok0iptables is very efficient. It works on kernel level19:59
Koryo_Sanderswouldn't MAC address be better?19:59
Koryo_Sandersas some of my IP's are DHCP driven19:59
mok0You need to configure the router so it routes one network to the other. DHCP will always give you the same network and use the same gateway20:01
mok0Koryo_Sanders: there is some nice gentoo docs here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml20:02
Koryo_Sandersthanks ^^20:05

ScottKmok0: Is this something we want sommer to add to the Ubuntu Server guide do you think?20:40
mok0ScottK: you mean the router docs?20:50
ScottKYes.20:51
ScottKAnytime I see someone here pointing at Gentoo docs, I'm wondering if we need to add to ours.20:51
mok0ScottK: well, it would be useful, but I think it needs a good rework20:52
ScottKmok0: Any chance you'd be willing to help sommer out with that?20:52
mok0ScottK: sure... but I don't that much about routing20:53
ScottKOK.  Well hopefully sommer reads the scrollback and takes it up.20:53
Koryo_Sanders!whereis apples22:27
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about whereis apples22:27
SjG_TedsHouse__question about setting up a virtual appliance using JeOS: do I want to set up the VM as NAT or Bridged networking?22:30
