[06:28] <superfly> ohi folks
[07:22] <deegee_> superfly: hi
[07:24] <DraZoro> Greetings deegee_ 
[07:24] <DraZoro> Greetings everyone 
[07:25] <deegee_> DraZoro: hello ...
[07:25] <superfly> hi deegee_, DraZoro
[08:22] <inetpro> good mornings
[08:47] <deegee_> lo inetpro
[08:48] <inetpro> deegee_: hi
[08:48] <inetpro> daniel: hi
[08:48] <inetpro> deegee_: why you have a tail?
[08:49] <daniel> how do I setup a pppoe client on my wireless interface
[08:49] <deegee_> could get rid of it.... noticed my nick is used somewhere else....
[08:49] <inetpro> deegee_: ahh
[08:49]  * deegee_ is trtacking duplicate nicks
[08:49] <inetpro> daniel: what version of ubuntu?
[08:50] <daniel> ubuntu 10.10
[08:50] <inetpro> daniel: hmm... I've never set up a pppoe connection on ubuntu
[08:50] <inetpro> deegee_: you done it?
[08:51] <inetpro> perhaps froztbyte or cocooncrash
[08:51] <inetpro> or superfly 
[08:51] <superfly> inetpro: I've done it, but only via the command line
[08:51] <inetpro> drubin: you also use ubuntu all the time
[08:51] <deegee_> inetpro: nope
[08:52] <superfly> Maaz: google for setting up pppoe on ubuntu
[08:52] <Maaz> superfly: "ADSLPPPoE - Community Ubuntu Documentation" https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ADSLPPPoE :: "PPPoE Modems" https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/modems-adsl-pppoe.html :: "Installing Ubuntu using PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)" https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/powerpc/pppoe.html :: "Connecting to the Internet" https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/internet/C/connect-to-internet.html :: "Configuring PPPOE connection - Ubuntu Forums" http:
[08:52] <superfly> looks like there is some documentation hanging around
[08:53] <superfly> http://lmgtfy.com/?q=setting+up+pppoe+on+ubuntu
[08:55] <inetpro> hmm... what's the difference between a ppp and a pppoe coonnection?
[08:55] <superfly> Maaz: define ppp
[08:55] <Maaz> superfly: PPP n 1: surgical resection of unnecessary palatal and oropharyngeal tissue to open the airway; intended to cure extreme cases of snoring (with or without sleep apnea) [syn: {palatopharyngoplasty}, {PPP}, {uvulopalatopharyngoplasty}, {UPPP}], PPP Point-to-Point Protocol (Internet, PPP, RFC 1171/1661) 
[08:55] <superfly> Maaz: define pppoe
[08:55] <Maaz> superfly: PPPOE Point-to-Point Protocol Over Ethernet [protocol] (ADSL, RFC 2516), "PPPoE" 
[08:55] <inetpro> :-)
[08:58] <inetpro> daniel: please tell us if you succeeded or not
[09:00]  * inetpro wonders whether daniel is still around
[09:01] <daniel> i am
[09:03] <inetpro> daniel: cool, I hope you found something from the links above
[09:04] <inetpro> daniel: feel free to ask more questions, I'm sure someone should have more answers even if they all seem very busy
[09:05] <daniel> inetpro: thanks for the help I've got some reading to do 
[09:05] <inetpro> daniel: np
[09:13] <nuvolari> think I made a mistake. Turned down a lady calling wrt. Java devs in Pretoria. I don't know where she got my name, so how she got the work number is even stranger
[09:13] <superfly> nuvolari: it's never a mistake to turn down a recruiter :-P
[09:15] <nuvolari> superfly: lol ok, good then.
[09:15] <nuvolari> why exactly is it not a mistake?
[09:15] <confluency> Because they usually suck.
[09:16] <confluency> And use spam tactics, and try to get you to do their job for them for free.
[09:19] <superfly> And, more often than not, they don't actually know anything about IT
[09:19] <superfly> I've almost never come across a recruiter that doesn't play buzzword bingo
[09:20] <confluency> Also, they call you during working hours -- when you are *working*.
[09:21] <confluency> Not only is this annoying, it seems unlikely that you will be keen to discuss your desire to leave your job over the phone *while you are at work*, even if you want to.
[09:21] <superfly> I have also had recruiters contact me via my WORK e-mail address
[09:22] <superfly> I just ignore them
[09:22] <confluency> I refuse to talk to recruiters over the phone *ever*, and I bounce email requests unless I am actually being offered a great job opportunity which interests me, which is never.
[09:22] <confluency> Logic is not a strong point of recruiters.
[09:22] <superfly> Precisely
[09:23] <confluency> I have killfiled a couple of people who keep sending me the exact same crap job offer which has absolutely nothing to do with my skill set.
[09:23] <confluency> My unfavourite part is when you tell them you're not interested and they ask if you can give them your friends' contact details so they can spam them too.  Um, no.
[09:26] <confluency> OTOH, if you're really desperate for a new job, feel free to talk to them -- even a stopped clock is on time twice a day. ;)  Just be aware that they will never lose your number, and neither will their gazillion friends.
[09:31] <superfly> I *still* get calls from recruiters I last interacted with over 5 years ago
[09:32] <superfly> they *never* leave you alone
[09:38] <Owkkuri> indeed
[16:32] <kbmonkey> it's friday :)
[20:32] <kbmonkey> hi all. can anyone point me to configuring a firewall to allow nfs mounting? :)
[20:32] <kbmonkey> most of the tuts I see online refer to /etc/sysconfig/nfs, which doesnt exist on the pc
[20:48] <superfly> kbmonkey: WAYTTD
[20:57] <kbmonkey> superfly: I want to mount a nfs share on my desktop, hosted on another ubuntu pc
[20:57] <kbmonkey> however I _just_ got it working, after so many tries and googles :)
[20:57] <superfly> kbmonkey: so what does the firewall have to do with it?
[20:58] <kbmonkey> basically, and my heads spinning a bit from this..
[20:59] <kbmonkey> nfs uses a few select ports, and also some dynamic ones to mount 
[20:59] <kbmonkey> and the firewall interferes with this. I just changed nfs service to use a fixed port instead
[20:59] <kbmonkey> and allowed that through the firewall. seems to work okay
[21:02] <kbmonkey> murpheys law: you find the solution just as you ask somebody else :)
[21:16] <superfly> if neither of the two computers is on the internet you don't need a firewall
[21:24] <kbmonkey> both of them are, and the one hosting the share will eventually run a dyndns service
[21:24] <kbmonkey> which I will ssh in from anywhere, so I'd like it to be firewalled :)
[21:25] <superfly> kbmonkey: does it not have 2 interfaces then?
[21:26] <kbmonkey> ideally yes
[21:26]  * superfly gives up on his ADSL woes for the night, and heads off to bed
[21:27] <kbmonkey> myself, no more work for now
[21:29] <drubin> superfly: Follow tumbleweeds split routing tutorial but remove the split routing stuff
[21:33] <kbmonkey> drubin: thanks, I'll do!
[21:35] <drubin> kbmonkey: That was for superfly 
[21:36] <drubin> kbmonkey: I can't help with your firewall issue sorry ;/
