| AndrewMC | !hi | Silver_Fox_ | 21:06 |
| ubot2 | Silver_Fox_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu-beginners! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 21:06 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Hello AndrewMC | 21:06 |
| Silver_Fox_ | !ops | 21:15 |

| Silver_Fox_ | Interesting.... | 21:15 |
| jussi | hrm? | 21:15 |
| jussi | Silver_Fox_: please dont abuse the !ops call | 21:15 |
| Silver_Fox_ | I was just reviewing the last irc team meeting logs. It was supposed to be changed for a specific message for this channel. | 21:16 |
| jussi | Silver_Fox_: please use /msg ubot2 ops then ;) | 21:16 |
| jussi | or /msg ubot2 ops-#ubuntu-beginners | 21:17 |
| Silver_Fox_ | As it turns out the message has not been changed, quite odd. | 21:18 |

| * phillw is now scared to try that in #lubuntu in case I get told off :-( | 21:23 | |
| Silver_Fox_ | Haha, phillw :) | 21:25 |
| phillw | Silver_Fox_: I'm still learning this IRC stuff, whilst I am an OP in #lubuntu, the team is so small that there may be times when none of us are about and we have a 'problem'. | 21:27 |
| zkriesse_ | phillw: need ops in lubuntu? | 21:28 |
| zkriesse_ | and hey Silver_Fox_ | 21:29 |
| bodhi_zazen | 'lo all | 21:34 |
| Silver_Fox_ | o/ bodhi | 21:36 |
| zkriesse_ | its bodhi_zazen !!!! | 21:37 |
| zkriesse_ | yo dude! | 21:37 |
| keithtoo | I'm having trouble getting my ubuntu box to talk to any other computers on my network. I have 3 other machines hooked up - all MS - and they all share files just fine. | 21:42 |
| keithtoo | any net-savvy folks on? | 21:43 |
| zkriesse_ | kinda | 21:45 |
| bodhi_zazen | zkriesse | 21:46 |
| keithtoo | I have crunched through hundreds of topics - literally - on the net regarding this issue, and probably jacked the system up pretty good. | 21:46 |
| bodhi_zazen | you many need to add your windows boxen to /etc/hosts or install a dns server | 21:46 |
| keithtoo | will that work on a DHCP system? | 21:47 |
| zkriesse_ | bodhi_zazen: how ya been? | 21:47 |
| bodhi_zazen | keithtoo: yes, dhcp is not the same as dns | 21:49 |
| bodhi_zazen | Although if your router does dns, you should configure the router (rather then install a dns server) | 21:50 |
| keithtoo | bodhi: I know - but the ip address is required to add an entry to hosts. | 21:50 |
| bodhi_zazen | Set static IP on servers | 21:51 |
| keithtoo | no way to do this using the DHCP I'm using now? | 21:51 |
| bodhi_zazen | or try dnsmasq | 21:51 |
| keithtoo | it's an ad hoc net - there is no "server" per se | 21:52 |
| bodhi_zazen | dnsmasq | 21:52 |
| bodhi_zazen | dnsmasq is easy to configure and will do both dns and dhcp | 21:52 |
| bodhi_zazen | http://wiki.debian.org/HowTo/dnsmasq | 21:53 |
| keithtoo | kk - that was installed some time... how to run it? | 21:53 |
| bodhi_zazen | you then disable dhcp on your router | 21:53 |
| bodhi_zazen | http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/nethub/article.php/3377351/In-a-DNS-bind-Get-Out-With-dnsmasq.htm | 21:54 |
| keithtoo | not sure if I can do that. There's a network printer in the mix as well - it's DHCP configured, and nothing I can do will change that | 21:56 |
| bodhi_zazen | It should take 5 min to set up | 21:56 |
| bodhi_zazen | dnsmasq should do dhcp | 21:56 |
| bodhi_zazen | your printer should not know the difference | 21:57 |
| keithtoo | dnsmasq would run on the linux box though. The printer - a lexmark all in one that isn't supported - only speaks to the windows boxes | 21:58 |
| bodhi_zazen | not if it uses dhcp to get an IP from your router | 21:59 |
| bodhi_zazen | unless your router is running windows =) | 22:00 |
| bodhi_zazen | Is there some hardware incomaptibility that your all-in-one printer will not work with Ubuntu ? | 22:01 |
| keithtoo | yes - the Lexmark x4530 is totally unsupported | 22:02 |
| keithtoo | The goal here is simply to be able to share files between the machines... it looks like dnsmasq is overkill, no? | 22:03 |
| bodhi_zazen | you can | 22:04 |
| bodhi_zazen | 1. Use the command line | 22:04 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo mount -t cifs //windows_ip_address/directory /mount/point -o options | 22:05 |
| bodhi_zazen | 2. Use nautilus - to do this you need to either manyally edit /etc/hosts to include your windows box by ip | 22:05 |
| bodhi_zazen | you can either set static IP or install a dns server | 22:06 |
| bodhi_zazen | up to you to decide which is easier | 22:06 |
| bodhi_zazen | There are other protocols, you can us ssh | 22:07 |
| bodhi_zazen | install a ssh server on Ubuntu, and connect from windows with winscp | 22:07 |
| bodhi_zazen | Or you could install a ftp server | 22:07 |
| bodhi_zazen | as long as you are behind a LAN, both ftp and ssh are viable | 22:07 |
| bodhi_zazen | ssh is better over the internet | 22:08 |
| bodhi_zazen | IMHO | 22:08 |
| keithtoo | the only sharing is while we're all on the same router... | 22:09 |
| bodhi_zazen | Which box(s) is the server ? | 22:11 |
| bodhi_zazen | I assume windows ? | 22:11 |
| keithtoo | none | 22:11 |
| keithtoo | just using simple share | 22:11 |
| bodhi_zazen | Well, you have to have a server, otherwise us a flash drive | 22:11 |
| bodhi_zazen | what is "simple share " | 22:12 |
| bodhi_zazen | is that a windows thing ? | 22:12 |
| keithtoo | it's an option that allows you to hook up computers on your own router | 22:12 |
| bodhi_zazen | If so , you are trying to use Ubuntu as a clinet to connect to a windows file server | 22:12 |
| bodhi_zazen | You have to have a network protocol | 22:12 |
| keithtoo | you set up shares, and enable simple sharing. This allows computers to be able to see the published shares without authenticating | 22:13 |
| bodhi_zazen | Where did you set up shares ? | 22:13 |
| keithtoo | yep | 22:13 |
| bodhi_zazen | On the router or on a windows box ? | 22:13 |
| keithtoo | all the windows boxes can see each other and can transfer data without a problem | 22:13 |
| keithtoo | supposedly, Ubuntu has the same functionality | 22:14 |
| bodhi_zazen | I think you are using what is called samba | 22:14 |
| bodhi_zazen | What happens when you | 22:14 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo mount -t cifs //windows_ip_address/name_of_shared_directory /mnt | 22:15 |
| bodhi_zazen | ls /mnt | 22:15 |
| keithtoo | I'll try it | 22:15 |
| keithtoo | mount error(110): Connection timed out | 22:17 |
| Bizurke | does samba come installed by default? | 22:18 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo apt-get install smbfs | 22:19 |
| Bizurke | yeah | 22:19 |
| bodhi_zazen | then try mounting again | 22:19 |
| keithtoo | if it didn't, I have surely installed it by now | 22:19 |
| Bizurke | there is a samba gui also. iirc | 22:19 |
| bodhi_zazen | And if the connection timed out, firewall ? | 22:19 |
| keithtoo | yep - I have the samba gui up | 22:20 |
| bodhi_zazen | can you connect , by ip address, with the samba gui ? | 22:21 |
| bodhi_zazen | can you ping the windows box from ubutnu ? | 22:21 |
| keithtoo | yes - I can ping all the win boxes from the ubuntu box | 22:22 |
| keithtoo | samba server gui only allows me to add shares from MY side | 22:22 |
| bodhi_zazen | firewall ? | 22:22 |
| Bizurke | maybe nmap it | 22:22 |
| keithtoo | not sure of firewall... might have been something I ran into a week ago... | 22:23 |
| bodhi_zazen | Disable your windows firewall for a minute then | 22:24 |
| bodhi_zazen | And on Ubuntu if you enabled it | 22:24 |
| bodhi_zazen | And please post the exact mount command you used | 22:26 |
| keithtoo | kk - firewall on the Win7 box is down. | 22:28 |
| keithtoo | $ sudo mount -t cifs //VAIO-Laptop/Public /mnt | 22:28 |
| keithtoo | mount error(110): Connection timed out | 22:28 |
| bodhi_zazen | VAIO-Laptip is not an ip address | 22:29 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.xx/Public /mnt | 22:29 |
| bodhi_zazen | you need to use the ip address of the laptop | 22:29 |
| bodhi_zazen | In windows open a terminal and enter | 22:30 |
| bodhi_zazen | ipconfig | 22:30 |
| keithtoo | $ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.16/Public /mnt | 22:31 |
| keithtoo | that command did NOT timeout... | 22:31 |
| bodhi_zazen | ls /mnt | 22:31 |
| bodhi_zazen | you will see your shares | 22:31 |
| bodhi_zazen | now | 22:31 |
| bodhi_zazen | gksu gedit /etc/hosts | 22:32 |
| bodhi_zazen | add at the bottom | 22:32 |
| bodhi_zazen | 192.168.0.16 VAIO-Laptop | 22:32 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo umount /mnt | 22:32 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo mount -t cifs //VAIO-Laptop/Public /mnt | 22:32 |
| bodhi_zazen | and your graphical tools, nautilus in particular should now work | 22:33 |
| bodhi_zazen | You can probably re-enable your windows firewall | 22:33 |
| bodhi_zazen | FYI : Your VIAO laptop is acting as a (file) server and Ubuntu is a (samba) client | 22:35 |
| keithtoo | hmmm.... after adding the IP to the hosts file (which was done earlier), mount times out again | 22:35 |
| bodhi_zazen | pastebin your /etc/hosts file | 22:36 |
| bodhi_zazen | ping VAIO-Laptop | 22:36 |
| bodhi_zazen | !pastebin | 22:36 |
| ubot2 | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 22:36 |
| keithtoo | my bad... spun the IP numbers as I typed them... | 22:37 |
| bodhi_zazen | LOL | 22:38 |
| bodhi_zazen | List your laptop only once | 22:38 |
| bodhi_zazen | in /etc/hosts | 22:38 |
| bodhi_zazen | You should be able to unmount ths share , and then mount it graphically, with nautilus | 22:40 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo umount /mnt | 22:40 |
| bodhi_zazen | then browse to your network and you should see your share | 22:40 |
| keithtoo | kk - I can now see the system from the mount | 22:40 |
| keithtoo | not from nautilus though | 22:40 |
| bodhi_zazen | unmount it first, then try mounting it from nautilus | 22:41 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo umount /mnt | 22:42 |
| keithtoo | Unable to mount - failed to retrieve share list from server | 22:43 |
| bodhi_zazen | nautilus is such a pain =) | 22:44 |
| keithtoo | sometimes... | 22:44 |
| bodhi_zazen | This is a somewhat longstanding bug in nautilus | 22:44 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo mkdir /media/VIAO-Public | 22:44 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo mount -t cifs //VIAO-Laptop/Public /media/VIAO-Public -o uid-1000,gid=1000 | 22:45 |
| keithtoo | public? or laptop? | 22:45 |
| bodhi_zazen | Whatever you like to call it | 22:45 |
| bodhi_zazen | You can add an entry in fstab if you like | 22:45 |
| bodhi_zazen | and you can use file amd dir modes | 22:47 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo mount -t cifs //VIAO-Laptop/Public /media/VIAO-Public -o uid-1000,gid=1000,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0666,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode | 22:47 |
| bodhi_zazen | You can add all that to /etc/fstab | 22:47 |
| bodhi_zazen | and manually mount | 22:47 |
| bodhi_zazen | or use autofs | 22:48 |
| keithtoo | sudo mount -t cifs //VAIO-Laptop/ Public /media/VIAO-Public -o uid-1000,gid=1000 - gives me a usage error? | 22:48 |
| bodhi_zazen | autofs takes a few minutes to wrap your head around, but it is slick | 22:48 |
| bodhi_zazen | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs | 22:48 |
| bodhi_zazen | You have a space in your command | 22:49 |
| keithtoo | cutting off my thumbs now... geez | 22:49 |
| bodhi_zazen | uid=100=, sorry about the - | 22:49 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo mount -t cifs //VIAO-Laptop/Public /media/VIAO-Public -o uid=1000,gid=1000,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0666,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode | 22:49 |

| ubot2 | Ubuntu bug 316862 in gvfs (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Nautilus fails to browse windows shares (affects: 2) (heat: 26)" [Low,Incomplete] | 22:51 |
| keithtoo | figures... | 22:53 |
| bodhi_zazen | did that mount command I gave you work ? | 22:54 |
| bodhi_zazen | Do you know how to convert that to an entry in autofs or fstab ? | 22:54 |
| keithtoo | it did... I can see the directory from the command line | 22:55 |
| keithtoo | can't get it from nautilus | 22:55 |
| keithtoo | and... don't know how to work autofs or fstab yet | 22:55 |
| bodhi_zazen | Open nautilus and browse to /media/VIAO-Public, or wherever you mounted it (in /media I hope) | 22:55 |
| bodhi_zazen | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?&t=283131 | 22:56 |
| keithtoo | sweet! there it is... | 22:56 |
| keithtoo | ok - now, once the DHCP lease expires, I'll have to do that all again right? | 22:58 |
| bodhi_zazen | either that or set a static IP | 22:58 |
| keithtoo | seems to me that I have to nail the IP addresses of all the home net down | 22:58 |
| bodhi_zazen | should be easy to do from your router, most allow you to set a static IP | 22:58 |
| bodhi_zazen | Or set a static IP in Windows | 22:58 |
| keithtoo | Yep - just have to set all the boxes to go with a static IP too | 22:59 |
| bodhi_zazen | Or install dnsmasq, and allow Ubuntu to do teh dhcp and dns | 22:59 |
| bodhi_zazen | Or use a central server for all your shares | 22:59 |
| keithtoo | I've been thinking along those lines.... I have an older box collecting dust in a corner here... | 23:00 |
| bodhi_zazen | Old box + Ubuntu server FTW | 23:00 |
| keithtoo | Think it has feisty or edgy on it | 23:00 |
| bodhi_zazen | That is what I do | 23:00 |
| bodhi_zazen | Old box + Debian + kerberos | 23:01 |
| bodhi_zazen | + NFS mounted autofs | 23:01 |
| bodhi_zazen | kerberos is a bit beyond you at the moment, but we can change that ... | 23:01 |
| keithtoo | I've been around... ;) | 23:02 |
| keithtoo | just have to switch my mindset from WIndows "I'll do it for you" to Linux's "What do you REALLY want to do" | 23:02 |
| bodhi_zazen | I use kerberos for the encryption (wireless LAN) and nfs + autofs is easy enough for my command-line-impaired family to use | 23:03 |
| bodhi_zazen | Well, actually, you just ran into 2 issues : | 23:03 |
| bodhi_zazen | no dns server to resolve your host name | 23:03 |
| bodhi_zazen | and a (nasty) bug in nautilus | 23:03 |
| bodhi_zazen | IMO this bug should recieve higher attention , but it is an "upstream" bug for sure | 23:04 |
| keithtoo | well - it looks like we only fixed half the problem though... although I can see the linux box from the laptop, accessing it is a different matter | 23:05 |
| bodhi_zazen | Did you install samba server on the ubuntu box ? | 23:05 |
| keithtoo | yes | 23:05 |
| bodhi_zazen | Open nautilus | 23:06 |
| bodhi_zazen | share a file in your home | 23:06 |
| bodhi_zazen | then on windows mount that directory | 23:06 |
| bodhi_zazen | do not share home | 23:06 |
| bodhi_zazen | and when you access it from windows, use you Ubuntu user name and password | 23:06 |
| keithtoo | doesn't ask for authentication... Windows says the network path was not found | 23:08 |
| stlsaint | hey anyone know why ubuntu would just start removing half the apps installed on my system? | 23:09 |
| stlsaint | i ran aptitude safe-upgrade and half my apps were removed | 23:09 |
| bodhi_zazen | keithtoo: add an entry in you windows hosts file for the ubuntu boxen | 23:11 |
| stlsaint | bodhi_zazen: sup | 23:12 |
| keithtoo | Same issue only the other way.... figures... I'll give that a try in a bit. | 23:12 |
| keithtoo | Thanks for your help on this - I've got something to chew on for a bit now | 23:12 |
| bodhi_zazen | =) | 23:12 |
| bodhi_zazen | stlsaint: how is iptables going for you ? | 23:12 |
| stlsaint | bodhi_zazen: would you happen to know why the command aptitude safe-upgrade...would go deleting apps on my system? | 23:12 |
| bodhi_zazen | nope | 23:13 |
| bodhi_zazen | sounds borked though | 23:13 |
| bodhi_zazen | I stopped using aptitude | 23:14 |
| bodhi_zazen | apt-get FTW | 23:14 |
| stlsaint | well the system still works fine, just alot of apps went *poof*, apps that i dont use really | 23:17 |
| bodhi_zazen | is this a bad thing ? | 23:18 |
| bodhi_zazen | Try installing one of the apps, and we can look at teh dependencies or conflicts | 23:19 |
| stlsaint | bodhi_zazen: meh, i will look into myself, maybe i can learn something :D | 23:20 |
| stlsaint | everything updates fine still though | 23:20 |
| bodhi_zazen | did you upgrade to 10.10 ? | 23:21 |
| stlsaint | nope | 23:22 |
