eolo999hi, i'm trying to create a preseed config file but i'd like to use apt-cacher-ng to serve packages...someone can give me an example config?12:09
eolo999i use an 'ubuntu-minimal' CdRom so I download all the packages from the network and apt-cacher is a must...12:13
_rubenif apt-cacher-ng publishes its cache using nfs/http/ftp then you can point to its url in the preseed file just fine12:17
_rubennever used such methods though, got my own full local mirror (full, as in all the archs/dists i need)12:17
eolo999_ruben: so d-i mirror/http/proxy string 192.168.1.10:3142 should be enough?12:34

Celephaisi mean i have a 3com 100Mbit which is eth1 and i want to name it eth014:15
maswanah, iftab used to be how you did it. these days it is some kind of arcane stuff in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules14:17

geekboxjockeyHowdy15:04
geekboxjockeyI am having an issue with Ubuntu 8.04 domUs running on an 8.04 dom0 in Xen, does anyone have experience in this department?15:05
Faust-Cgeekboxjockey: you have to be more verbose on your problem15:07
ghaleb_Faust-C, it's not working, i tried smbldap-usershow <user> it showed, but using 'id <user>' it's not working,  I guess something wrong in nsswitch15:08
geekboxjockeyOk, well I am experiencing locked file issues on group and password files when I try adduser as root on a new domU15:08
geekboxjockeyIE I go to add a user and I cant, sometimes rebooting the VM fixes it but its a consistent problem on new VMs15:09
agampheralright, so... ive done the hands-on thing with a bunch of different linux distros. ive got somewhat of a grasp on linux and the file structure, how it works, etc. if i wanted to really start delving into how linux works (processes, security, networking, etc), what resource would you consider the best?15:40

jmarsdenagampher: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Reading-List-HOWTO/16:39
agampherjmarsden: thanks, just what i was looking for. most of the books on that list are fairly old, no issues in that regard?16:42
jmarsdenNot really; maybe in security, but I'm not sure what else I'd recommend.  Check for newer editions for some of the books... these combined with google are a very solid background IMO.16:43
uvirtbotNew bug: #310941 in samba (main) "Samba crash, no /etc/samba directory, happened without reason, all of sudden, purge / reinstall doesnt work" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/31094116:44
jmarsdenThe book on the kernel is probably too old now, since I think it deal with 2.4.16:44
agampherjmarsden: ok, thanks. sometimes googling linux terms is a bit overwhelming :)16:45
jmarsdenUnderstood.  Running Linux and the online guides in the HOWTO should help you quite a bit with that.16:46
yann2is there any supported tool that allows to create a local apt repository?16:46
yann2ie an apt-proxy like that would be in main?16:46
agampherjmarsden: thanks again16:46
jmarsdenNo problem16:47
jmarsdenyann2: apt-proxy is in Universe and therefore supported by the MOTUs .. why shun Universe?16:48
yann2jmarsden > I reporte thjis this morning.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-mirror/+bug/310861 .. shouldnt have happened really :/16:51
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 310861 in apt-mirror "APT-proxy fails on single download error" [Undecided,New]16:51
jmarsdenyann2: OK, so the issue is not supportedness, but one particular issue; I'd say fix apt-proxy or wait for others to look at the bug report and (hopefully) fix it, if you are unable to do that.  apt-proxy is in Python and is fairly small, so it is probably relatively accessible/readable code.16:55
yann2jmarsden > so basically I got an apache support case open, but am running an old version of apache for hardy... because I am affected by a bug in a universe package on a separate vm16:55
yann2jmarsden > well I've had people investigating a bug which in the end may not have been soved because of a bug in universe, on a different server... i would feel better if that error would have come from main :P16:57
yann2jmarsden > but surely there is something in main that does the same? I mean, its quite a small tool, and probably widely used in enterprise16:59
jmarsdenI think that's not a helpful distinction to make; if you don't trust Universe to be usable, Ubuntu as a whole is IMO pretty limited.  I doubt there would be something in main that does that, but I don't have encyclopediac knowledge of main :)17:00
yann2jmarsden > I am a ubuntu support customer.. I don't want to drop it off completely :) what I need should be in main or have an alternative in main (if I understand the idea correctly)17:01
jmarsdenThen maybe ask Canonical what they recommend for this task?17:02
yann2yes I thought I would ask here first :P17:03
jmarsdenHere I think most people use Universe when it has what they need in it...?  apt-cache search proxy    might reveal something you can use?17:04

N6REJhey guys i got a question... i'm trying to upload a svn to my lan server from my vista box directly onto /var/www even though i told samba to share it its not letting me do that23:12
jmedinaN6REJ: and how did you tell that to samba?23:15
agampherlots of yelling and shaking of fists23:16
N6REJthrough smb.conf23:16
N6REJlol yeah really23:16
N6REJtold it to make it a guest ok directory23:16
jmedinaand the share block is like?23:16
agamphervista doesnt really play well with my samba install either23:16
N6REJjmedina: want me to pastebin it or paste it here?23:17
jmedinaN6REJ: if you want23:17
N6REJ[apache]23:17
N6REJpath = /var/www/23:17
N6REJbrowseable = yes23:17
N6REJread only = no23:17
N6REJguest ok = yes23:17
N6REJcreate mask = 077523:17
N6REJdirectory mask = 075523:17
jmedinabut one thing, I never used vista23:17
jmedinaand what about the /var/www permissions?23:18
N6REJvista can see it and read23:18
jmedinasamba can't override File system control access23:18
N6REJdrwxrwsr-x23:18
jmedinaN6REJ: ls -ld /var/www23:18
jmedinaI guess you are connecting as guest (without password)23:18
N6REJyeah23:18
jmedinawell the guess (nobody) can't write in /var/www/23:19
N6REJand the user troy can't write in that folder eirther23:19
N6REJidk how to change it though23:19
N6REJleast not properly23:19
jmedinawhen you give guest ok access to a share, samba maps the guest account to nobody by default23:19
N6REJjmedina: i told it to use troy as the guest account23:19
agampherfor me, vista put the domain/workgroup in no matter what23:20
N6REJagampher: yeah same there23:20
N6REJhere23:20
N6REJwell domain anyway23:20
jmedinaN6REJ: well you can change the access mod to the dir /var/www23:20
N6REJnot workgroup23:20
N6REJjmedina: how?23:20
agamphervista just doesnt play well with samba, i believe i had to use webmin to navigate the samba configuration to get my head around it, i think i finally got it to work, but it was a pain23:21
N6REJagampher: was easy for me.. took my drives with no problem what so ever... this is first time i've had an issue23:21
N6REJanything in /home i can share easily23:21
N6REJdon't matter if its  my mac, vista, xp *nix they all play nice together23:22
agampherhow did you get vista to stop with the workgroup/domain nonsense?23:22
N6REJgot 6 shared folders right now23:22
agampherfor the other shares23:22
N6REJoh let me post my conf23:22
