[00:00] <blahdeblah> head_victim: Thanks - probably a good idea, but i haven't got a spare hard disk for it at the moment.  After i re-jigger my server setup it might be possible.
[00:01] <blahdeblah> head_victim: BTW, have you got it on a dedicated filesystem? If i do end up getting a copy, it will probably be faster and simpler if it's on a filesystem of its own.
[06:46] <kaushal> hi
[06:47] <kaushal> is there a way to have a condition like use wireless connection for vpn and wired connections for browsing ?
[06:48] <kaushal> I mean on Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop
[07:02] <elky> I don't know that you can make certain desktop apps use certain interfaces, no.
[07:03] <elky> kaushal, you should probably ask the bigger group of people at #ubuntu
[07:04] <kaushal> elky: ok
[07:22] <blahdeblah> kaushal: binding to a particular interface might work in some circumstances (if your wired is the default route and you bind the VPN client to the wifi), but the way i would do that is to use policy routing with shorewall
[07:22] <blahdeblah> kaushal: It's a non-trivial exercise if you're not familiar with firewalls and networking
[07:47] <kaushal> blahdeblah: Thanks
[07:48] <kaushal> blahdeblah: can it be done on the client desktop ?
[07:48] <blahdeblah> It can be done on any linux machine
[07:48] <blahdeblah> The trick is to do it with minimal effort ;-)
[07:49] <blahdeblah> For the first (simpler) solution to work, you would need to guarantee that your wired connection has the default route on it, which is not easy without switching to static interface configuration.
[07:50] <blahdeblah> Another way you could achieve something similar is to have a proxy server somewhere on your wired LAN, and configure your browsing to go via that.  That way all browsing would be wired, and everything else could be wireless.
[08:13] <kaushal> blahdeblah: Thanks
[08:14] <kaushal> will work on it
[08:21] <head_victim> blahdeblah: filesystem?
[08:22] <head_victim> I was looking into an external hdd for it
[08:33] <head_victim> Oh and just so you know it's apparently 433.0 GB of data for the whole lot.
[08:56] <blahdeblah> kaushal: Good luck - unless you go for policy-based routing, the trick is to make sure that the applications you want to use will naturally follow your existing routing tables.
[09:12] <blahdeblah> kaushal: So if you have a proxy server on your wired LAN, then the route to that is via your wired interface - hope that all makes sense
[11:31] <sagaci> hey
[11:33] <dns53> hey
[11:38] <kaushal> dns53: hey
[11:38] <dns53> so what are you up to
[11:40] <jfer> nisshh:i ended up resolving that issue lalya was having last night.
[11:40] <kaushal> dns53: are you referring to me ?
[11:41] <dns53> kaushal sure
[11:46] <kaushal> dns53: please guide me about my post on https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2010-November/234334.html
[11:47] <dns53> probably yes if you do everything manually, through network manager probably not
[11:47] <kaushal> i see
[11:48] <dns53> what type of vpn?
[11:48] <kaushal> dns53: any examples you would like to share with me
[11:48] <kaushal> openvpn
[11:49] <dns53> my knowledge in openvpn is limited but i think there was an option to bind to a specific ip address or a particular network
[11:50] <dns53> what guide are you following to set up openvpn
[11:50] <kaushal> Its already in place
[11:51] <kaushal> I do not have to set anything 
[12:33] <sagaci> oh, what's stopping there being an ubuntu-au podcast
[12:34] <dns53> you from starting one, it is not that hard to do
[12:35] <dns53> do you have a microphone, something to talk about and at least 6 hours a week free?
[12:39] <dns53> what would you talk about?
[12:50] <sagaci> yes, yes and yes
