| maedox | Hi guys, is someone able to help me with some network setup? I have set up eth3 and eth3:0 on the same card but it always connects outbound with the eth3 IP. How do I make it use both depending on which interface the service is listening on? I'm using JBoss 4.2.2.GA, so maybe it's not Ubuntu's fault? | 09:27 |
| KB1JWQ | Fix your routing table. | 09:28 |
| KB1JWQ | And you probably don't want to be running NetworkManager either. | 09:28 |
| maedox | KB1JWQ: you mean "google it"? ;) | 09:29 |
| maedox | There's no networkmanager here | 09:29 |
| KB1JWQ | maedox: Let me rephrase. | 09:30 |
| KB1JWQ | Are both of the IPs bound to eth3 and eth3:0 on the same network? | 09:30 |
| maedox | KB1JWQ: ok, I appreciate it. | 09:30 |
| maedox | Yes, they are. | 09:30 |
| KB1JWQ | maedox: netstat -rn says what? | 09:31 |
| KB1JWQ | (pastebin) | 09:31 |
| maedox | oh, right, I think I get it. three lines all an iface eth3. Hold on... pastebinning. | 09:31 |
| maedox | http://pastebin.com/qJarfdzA | 09:32 |
| KB1JWQ | maedox: Yeah, your outbound traffic all dumps out eth3. | 09:34 |
| maedox | KB1JWQ: what's the tool for chaning the routing table? | 09:35 |
| KB1JWQ | route | 09:35 |
| maedox | Never used that. If I add something with that is it persistent or should it rather go in a config file somewhere? | 09:35 |
| AdvoWork | Hi there, i have paths set like: mirror_lenny = http://cdn.debian.net/debian for something im using, how would i specify the path for the latest server version? | 09:36 |
| KB1JWQ | Generally in /etc/network/interfaces maedox | 09:36 |
| maedox | KB1JWQ: Alright, thanks man, I'll see if I can make it work. | 09:37 |
| KB1JWQ | Good luck. :-) | 09:38 |

| craigaa | hi all, I am hoping that someone can help me with the HP Microserver, actually to see if it would be capable of what I want it to do | 10:54 |
| JanC | craigaa: just tell what you want to do and what the specs of that HP microserver are, then maybe somebody can answer... | 10:58 |
| craigaa | basically, I want to do Samba and internal IMAP email for 20-25 users | 10:58 |
| craigaa | it has an AMD Athlon II Neo 1.3Ghz Processor | 10:58 |
| craigaa | and can take up to 8Gb ECC RAM | 10:59 |
| craigaa | I would also like to run linux SW RAID 1 | 11:00 |
| craigaa | on 2 x 1Tb SATA HDD | 11:00 |
| craigaa | I know Ubuntu runs on it (both server and desktop), but I am wondering if I may be overreaching with up to 25 users | 11:01 |
| JanC | it shouldn't be a problem I think, but also depends on how intensive they use it maybe | 11:02 |
| JanC | basically, that hardware was high-end some years ago... ;-) | 11:04 |
| JanC | well, similar hardware | 11:04 |
| craigaa | JanC so you don't think the hardware would battle performance wise? | 11:06 |
| JanC | I see on soem sites they mention "up to 10 users" when running Windows on it | 11:07 |
| craigaa | :-) | 11:08 |
| craigaa | thanks | 11:08 |
| JanC | they don't mention what services those 10 users are supposed to be using etc. | 11:08 |
| craigaa | but that is Windows so you lose about 1/2 to 1/3 of the performance off the top | 11:10 |
| craigaa | before you start adding additional services | 11:10 |
| JanC | I think the main point is how you are going to use it | 11:11 |
| JanC | they also list 1-10 users with Red Hat | 11:12 |

| andygraybeal_ | the LDAP Authentication on in the server guide, the example file for setting up the first user is John Doe. It has his home folder being /home/john ... would i mount the NFS server to the directory server in fstab to get this to work the way I'm thinking? | 14:56 |
| andygraybeal_ | er... i mean if i want the home folder to be on an NFS share | 14:56 |
| pmatulis | andygraybeal_: ldap will merely provide you with info (user's home is /home/john), you need to do the rest (have /home/john available) | 15:04 |
| andygraybeal_ | pmatulis, good, thank yuo. how does john exist? how do i assign him permission to use that folder? | 15:07 |

| andygraybeal_ | ivoks, why doesn't it say that in the general server documentation? | 15:07 |
| ivoks | those are two different things | 15:08 |
| andygraybeal_ | okay :) thakn you i wil lread about pam_mkhomedir | 15:08 |
| ivoks | authentication is one, authorization is seconds and home directory is third | 15:08 |
| andygraybeal_ | does ldap automatically get linked to pam? | 15:08 |

| patdk-wk | Roasted__, isn't that what libpam-mount is for? | 15:45 |
| binBASH | anyone tested sheepdog yet? | 15:46 |
| binBASH | http://www.osrg.net/sheepdog/ | 15:46 |
| Roasted__ | patdk-lap, I have no idea. I just debuted a lab of ubuntu thin clients and its proving to be a MAJOR headache already. | 15:47 |
| Roasted__ | patdk-lap, I just need a way for students to log in and BAM theire share is connected to /home/Bill Gates/Documents | 15:47 |
| Roasted__ | where Documents = \\fileserver\classof2011\bill_gates | 15:47 |
| patdk-wk | I have used libpam-mount before, for mounting on user login, not with samba shares, but should be no different | 15:48 |
| Roasted__ | patdk-lap, based on your experience, do you think libpam-mount would allow me to boot a computer, log in as 5 different users, and each user get THEIR own share on the server mounted? | 15:48 |
| patdk-wk | as long as you don't mount them all in the SAME place | 15:49 |
| Roasted__ | right | 15:49 |
| Roasted__ | but how can I set it as a wildcard | 15:49 |
| Roasted__ | let me gather my thoughts... | 15:49 |
| Roasted__ | If I log in as steve_jobs, I want \\server\students\classof2011\steve_jobs to mount to /home/steve_jobs/Documents | 15:49 |
| Roasted__ | but if he logs out and bill gates logs in, I want the SAME thing, but bill_gates instead of steve_jobs | 15:50 |
| patdk-wk | I fail to see the issue | 15:50 |
| Roasted__ | This needs to be based on user login. NOT rebooting and mounting at startup. | 15:50 |
| Roasted__ | so you think it'll fly? | 15:50 |
| patdk-wk | like I said, libpam-mount, NOT fstab | 15:50 |
| Roasted__ | I just never heard of libpam-mount. ever. so I wanted to make sure :P | 15:50 |
| patdk-wk | did you even bother to read what libpam-mount is? | 15:50 |
| zul | Daviey: damn it looks rh specific again | 15:50 |
| Roasted__ | I'm googling for it now. | 15:50 |
| Roasted__ | patdk-lap, is libpam-mount just a package or an actual gui app? | 15:52 |
| soren | smoser: Argh, yeah, totally barking up the wrong tree. | 15:52 |
| Daviey | zul, i saw the .ks patch | 15:52 |

| Roasted__ | patdk-lap, this sound right? <volume user="user" fstype="smbfs" server="krueger" path="public" mountpoint="/home/user/krueger" /> | 16:09 |
| patdk-wk | remove the user= part | 16:10 |
| zul | whee...bug triaging storm coming soon to a mailbox to you | 16:10 |
| patdk-wk | that means only user named user, will mount it | 16:10 |
| Roasted__ | I thought smbfs was old and not used anymore? | 16:10 |
| patdk-wk | cifs | 16:11 |
| Roasted__ | cifs is the old one or the replacement? | 16:11 |
| patdk-wk | wouldn't you want mountpoint="~/krueger" | 16:13 |
| Roasted__ | What is krueger in this instance? Is this the name of the file server or the user? | 16:13 |
| * patdk-wk notes the, server="krueger" | 16:13 | |
| Roasted__ | so that's just the comp name of it | 16:14 |
| Roasted__ | the mountpoint concerns me | 16:14 |
| Roasted__ | /home/user/krueger | 16:14 |
| Roasted__ | I need the "user" to be whoever the user is that's logged in | 16:14 |
| Roasted__ | Can I wildcard it? | 16:14 |
| patdk-wk | you could | 16:14 |
| patdk-wk | but why not just use ~ | 16:14 |
| Roasted__ | good thought | 16:15 |
| Roasted__ | the ~ would apply to whatever user in at the time? | 16:15 |
| Roasted__ | I'm also curious what path=public means | 16:22 |

| patdk-wk | the share name | 16:23 |
| * patdk-wk votes ubottu runs it :) | 16:23 | |
| Roasted__ | well the share name is going to change I would think, since each user = share | 16:23 |
| patdk-wk | path=%(USER) | 16:24 |
| Roasted__ | thats a wildcard? | 16:24 |
| Roasted__ | here's the part that confuses me | 16:24 |
| Roasted__ | I work for a school, so we have 4 folders. //storage/students/classof2011 and 12 and 13 and 14 | 16:25 |
| Roasted__ | and within each is the individual student shares | 16:25 |
| Roasted__ | so I want a way to mount //storage/students/classof2011/steve_jobs to steve_jobs, since hes a senior, and //storage/students/classof2014/bill_gates to bill gates since he's a freshman | 16:25 |
| Roasted__ | but... automagically. | 16:25 |
| Roasted__ | Can libpam differentiate between the 4 folders? | 16:25 |
| Roasted__ | the classof folders? | 16:26 |
| patdk-wk | how could it? it only knows the user and password of the person attempting to login | 16:26 |
| Roasted__ | could I at least mount //storage/students so when they open their home folder they see Class of 2011, Class of 2012, Class of 2013, and Class of 2014 there? | 16:27 |
| patdk-wk | I dunno, but I guess you could attempt to mount it 4 times, once for each different path, and the one that works will stick? | 16:27 |
| raphink | pam has modules that can check for the existence of files | 16:28 |
| raphink | such as pam_listfile.so | 16:28 |
| Roasted__ | where is that file located? | 16:28 |
| raphink | http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/sag-pam_listfile.html | 16:28 |
| raphink | not sure if that would help | 16:28 |
| raphink | pam can do a lot of things if you find the right module | 16:28 |
| raphink | or if you code it ;-) | 16:28 |
| raphink | http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/Linux-PAM_SAG.html | 16:29 |
| Roasted__ | I've never set up pam before, so I'm kind of new to this. | 16:29 |
| Roasted__ | I'm just *really* stuck and trying to find a quick solution. | 16:29 |
| raphink | sorry i'm just getting in the conversation, what are you trying to achieve exactly? | 16:29 |
| Roasted__ | I work for a school district, and I just debuted a lab of LTSP Ubuntu thin clients. | 16:29 |
| raphink | right | 16:29 |
| Roasted__ | The students are getting confused, heavily, by the fact their "Documents" folder doesn't have their stuff. | 16:29 |
| Roasted__ | And this is because there are links on the desktop that smb:// to the class of folders | 16:30 |
| Roasted__ | class of 2011, 12, 13, 14 | 16:30 |
| Roasted__ | and they work out of there | 16:30 |
| Roasted__ | so I'd like to put links to those shares within their documents folder. | 16:30 |
| Roasted__ | without the need for authentication | 16:30 |
| raphink | how do you currently mount these folders? | 16:30 |
| Roasted__ | so that way steve jobs, who's a freshman, can log in and bam - he has his stuff in his Documents home folder | 16:30 |
| Roasted__ | I just have links on the desktop | 16:30 |
| Roasted__ | they double click, type in their password, and it uathenticates | 16:30 |
| Roasted__ | then they browse to their folder. | 16:30 |
| Roasted__ | The confusing part is the fact that they see their home directory and think that's where their files are, when it's not. | 16:31 |
| Roasted__ | So I'm trying to help them out by automating... everything... a little bit. | 16:31 |
| raphink | hmmm alright | 16:31 |
| raphink | let me try to get this straight | 16:31 |
| raphink | you mount the smb mountpoint in each homedir | 16:31 |
| raphink | but it contains all classes folders | 16:31 |
| Roasted__ | currently it doesnt mount anywhere | 16:32 |
| raphink | so each users has class2011, class2012, etc. | 16:32 |
| Roasted__ | it just kind of mounts when they log in | 16:32 |
| Roasted__ | I'd LIKE it to go to their home folder | 16:32 |
| kirkland | any preseed wizards around? | 16:32 |
| Roasted__ | what would be AWESOME is to get their share to mount to /home/*USER*/Documents | 16:32 |
| raphink | kirkland, not a wizard, but ask anyway :-) | 16:32 |
| Roasted__ | but I doubt I can pinpoint it that much | 16:32 |
| kirkland | raphink: it's not me, it's aliguori | 16:32 |
| raphink | let him ask then :-) | 16:33 |
| kirkland | hmm, seems he's in #ubuntu-cloud, not here | 16:33 |
| patdk-wk | roasted, why not? that should be easy | 16:33 |
| patdk-wk | the only issue is the class20xx part :) | 16:33 |
| Roasted__ | patdk-lap, you think it'd be easy? | 16:34 |
| Roasted__ | because I think it looks hard. :/ | 16:34 |
| andygraybeal_ | i'm reading the 10.04 server guide under LDAP Authentication, under ACL, it says: Authentication requires access to the password field, that should be not accessible by default. Does this mean that I need to modify my configuration? Just underneath that sentence it gives me an example of ldapsearch; not modify, so I'm confused. | 16:35 |
| raphink | I'd go about mounting the dir when they log in | 16:35 |
| patdk-wk | <volume fstype="smbfs" server="fs-students" path="classof20xx/$(USER)" mountpoint="~/Documents" /> | 16:35 |
| raphink | using a login script | 16:35 |
| patdk-wk | login script would do the same thing | 16:35 |
| raphink | right | 16:35 |
| raphink | the problem is the xx ;-) | 16:35 |
| patdk-wk | but you could check if the userpath exists for each one first | 16:35 |
| patdk-wk | but that *still* wouldn't help if user exists in multible ones | 16:35 |
| Roasted__ | patdk-lap, my server name is storage, and the full path is //storage/students/classofxx/student_accounts | 16:36 |
| patdk-wk | and you Loose the password then to auth with | 16:36 |
| Roasted__ | with that said... | 16:36 |
| Roasted__ | wouldn't it be... | 16:36 |
| Roasted__ | <volume fstype="smbfs" server="storage" path="students/classof20xx/$(USER)" mountpoint="~/Documents" /> | 16:36 |
| patdk-wk | yep | 16:36 |
| patdk-wk | I wonder if: <volume fstype="smbfs" server="storage" path="students" mountpoint="~/Documents" /> | 16:37 |
| patdk-wk | would be *good enough* | 16:37 |
| Roasted__ | and if I just wanted to mount all 4 of the class folders in Documents, wouldn't I just use path="students" | 16:37 |
| raphink | Roasted__, how about making links on your filer? | 16:37 |
| Roasted__ | My ubuntu server is on the domain. Would PAM look at those credentials and authenticate these users to these locations? | 16:37 |
| raphink | so that //storage/students/all/$USER points to //storage/students/classofxx/$USER for each $USER | 16:38 |
| raphink | that would solve your issue | 16:38 |
| patdk-wk | if it's a samba server | 16:38 |
| patdk-wk | dunno if that would work in win2008 | 16:38 |
| Roasted__ | It's a windows server | 16:38 |
| raphink | :S | 16:38 |
| Roasted__ | don't think it would? | 16:39 |
| Roasted__ | where would I put this <volume...> entry to test it? | 16:40 |
| patdk-wk | in the pam-mount.conf file | 16:41 |
| Roasted__ | no file found. where's it supposed to be located? | 16:42 |
| patdk-wk | have you even installed libpam-mount yet? | 16:42 |
| Roasted__ | yep | 16:42 |
| Roasted__ | just searched filesystem for it | 16:42 |
| Abhijit | hi guys | 16:42 |
| Abhijit | is httpd and apache are two different softwares? | 16:43 |
| Abhijit | or if those two are same then is it that in old apache the path for httpd.conf was different and now in new apache2 its different? | 16:43 |
| Abhijit | help | 16:43 |
| kpettit | what is the keyboard shortcut to get to the terminal window. I used to do "cntrl + alt + f1" but that' doesn't work with the newer version of ubuntu | 16:43 |
| Abhijit | kpettit, ctrl alt t | 16:44 |
| kpettit | Abhijit, ah cool, didn't know that one. But what I ment is the terminal outside of the GUI. The console | 16:44 |
| patdk-wk | Roasted__, /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml | 16:44 |
| kpettit | Sometimes my GUI locks up and I need to get to the console to kill things. But the command I used to use doesn't work anymore | 16:45 |
| Roasted__ | patdk-lap, got it. Do I just tag this at the end? | 16:45 |
| patdk-wk | no, it's xml | 16:46 |
| Abhijit | <Abhijit> is httpd and apache are two different softwares? | 16:46 |
| Abhijit | <Abhijit> or if those two are same then is it that in old apache the path for httpd.conf was different and now in new apache2 its different? | 16:46 |
| * patdk-wk wonders what the env looks like when a user logs in | 16:46 | |
| Roasted__ | where doe sthis entry need to go then? under volume definitions? | 16:46 |
| kpettit | Abhijit, I know in Centos it's httpd and in Ubuntu it's apache. THey are the same app just different config setup | 16:47 |
| Abhijit | kpettit, oh i see. in college we have old version of red hat. and now here i have ubuntu. so the same paths are not working | 16:48 |
| Abhijit | :( | 16:48 |
| kpettit | I've got a centos and ubuntu machine. Apache works the same way, they just name the directories different and chop up the config files and directories in different ways. | 16:48 |
| kpettit | Apache is kind of a beast. People try to tame it differently | 16:48 |
| Abhijit | yerah | 16:49 |
| Roasted__ | patdk-lap, I take it I AM to edit this file, right? | 16:50 |
| raphink | Abhijit, apache is an httpd | 16:58 |
| raphink | there are others | 16:58 |
| Abhijit | raphink, yeah | 16:58 |
| raphink | httpd means http server, and apache is one http server | 16:58 |
| raphink | lighttpd or nginx are other examples of httpd | 16:58 |
| raphink | usually, when httpd.conf refers to apache's configuration though | 16:59 |
| raphink | and in Debian and Ubuntu, this configuration is located in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 16:59 |
| Abhijit | raphink, yeah | 17:02 |

| Roasted__ | raphink, can you give me a hand with this pam thing still? | 17:15 |
| Roasted__ | There's just some areas I'm unclear on. | 17:15 |
| raphink | which areas? | 17:16 |
| Roasted__ | Well I have the <volume... etc> section written out the way I think I need it | 17:16 |
| Roasted__ | <volume fstype="smbfs" server="storage01" path="students" mountpoint="/home/%(USER)/Documents" /> | 17:16 |
| raphink | the path doesn't take in consideration your class issue though | 17:17 |
| Roasted__ | that's fine, if I can at least get the 4 Class folders in Home/DomainUserLoggedInAtTheTime/Documents I'd be good | 17:18 |
| Roasted__ | I think | 17:18 |
| Roasted__ | I mean it's worth a shot | 17:18 |
| Roasted__ | if studenst go to documents and see Class of folders, they'll know where to go | 17:18 |
| Roasted__ | Do I just add that in the pam_mount.conf.xml file? | 17:18 |
| raphink | I'm not familiar with pam_mount, but I think this is what you need to put | 17:19 |
| raphink | from patdk-wk's comments | 17:19 |
| Roasted__ | this is what you need to put... as in you think what I have is right? | 17:21 |
| raphink | I think so, yes | 17:21 |
| raphink | did you try it? | 17:21 |
| Roasted__ | hold on a second | 17:22 |
| Roasted__ | am I to paste that line I pasted into the conf.xml file? | 17:22 |
| Roasted__ | and ifs o, where? | 17:22 |
| Roasted__ | I don't want to just be guessing and mess something up. | 17:22 |
| raphink | patdk-wk gave you the location of the file earlier, didn't he? | 17:22 |
| Roasted__ | yes | 17:22 |

| raphink | Roasted_, did you check with the documentation? | 17:46 |
| Roasted_ | raphink, of course. | 17:46 |
| Roasted_ | It's all I've been reading for the last hour. | 17:46 |
| Roasted_ | And while it goes into grave detail about it, it's missing some key simple steps with setting it up. | 17:46 |
| Roasted_ | Which is extremely frustrating... | 17:46 |
| raphink | :S | 17:47 |
| Roasted_ | raphink, what was your idea about it? | 17:48 |
| Roasted_ | about getting the login thing to work | 17:48 |
| Roasted_ | I'm desperate for anything. I just need it to fly.. | 17:48 |
| raphink | well as far as classxx goes, my idea was to use a symlink on the filer, but it's a windows machine | 17:48 |
| Roasted_ | ignore classxx | 17:49 |
| raphink | and then I didn't know about pam_mount so I'd have made a login script to mount the samba share | 17:49 |
| Roasted_ | if I can get all 4 classes to show up within Documents, I'd be fine | 17:49 |
| Roasted_ | how would the login script authenticate | 17:49 |
| raphink | but then it would ask for the password, so pam_mount is nicer | 17:49 |
| Roasted_ | gah | 17:49 |
| Roasted_ | stab me | 17:49 |
| Roasted_ | this is so frustrating | 17:49 |
| raphink | ;-) | 17:49 |
| Roasted_ | it already asks me 3 times for a password | 17:49 |
| Roasted_ | it's obnoxious | 17:49 |
| Roasted_ | so obnoxious I wouldn't be surprised if they'd pull this ubuntu lab out, which I DO NOT want | 17:50 |
| Roasted_ | so I need to make this work | 17:50 |
| raphink | you mean pam_mount asks for a password? | 17:50 |
| Roasted_ | no | 17:50 |
| Roasted_ | my current setup does | 17:50 |
| Roasted_ | many times | 17:50 |
| Roasted_ | it's ridiculous | 17:50 |
| raphink | ok | 17:50 |
| Roasted_ | pam_mount I don't even have working because I have no flipping idea how to set it up. All of the configs I see tell me what entries to use, but I have no idea how to structure them in the config file. | 17:50 |
| Roasted_ | There's no examples that say, if you're trying to do this, then set it up like this, etc. | 17:50 |
| raphink | Roasted_, you read this right http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man5/pam_mount.conf.5.html ? | 17:54 |
| raphink | Roasted_, did you try with /students instead of students ? | 17:56 |

| RoyK | hi all. I ssh into this server, and starting something like xterm works fine, but when I try to start firefox, I get 'X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.' - any idea what might be wrong? | 18:50 |
| thesheff17 | RoyK: are you using ssh -X username@host? | 18:52 |
| RoyK | as I said, xterm works | 18:53 |
| RoyK | forwarding x11 is set in the config | 18:53 |
| RoyK | simple X stuff works well | 18:53 |
| thesheff17 | RoyK: weird...I just ran it from a 10.04 desktop to a 10.04 server no problems. There is a frame buffer that should be on the server apt-get install xvfb | 18:56 |
| RoyK | no need for X on the server - I just want to start X apps from it | 18:57 |
| thesheff17 | RoyK: all I do is ssh -X username@host then firefox works fine. | 18:58 |
| RoyK | http://pastebin.com/W2vqiVh2 | 18:59 |
| RoyK | xeyes/xterm/etc works | 18:59 |
| RoyK | not firefox | 18:59 |
| RoyK | server is 10.04.2 LTS AMD64 | 18:59 |
| genii-around | Some Mac clients need -Y instead of -X in the ssh connect line | 19:00 |
| RoyK | genii-around: tried that as well, no change, also, when it works for xterm, it should work for firefox, no? | 19:01 |
| genii-around | RoyK: You would think so, yes. Maybe no Xauthority file? | 19:05 |
| thesheff17 | RoyK: X11Forwarding yes You have this in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file? | 19:06 |
| RoyK | genii-around: yes, it's there | 19:06 |
| RoyK | thesheff17: seriously - I told you x11 forwarding works | 19:06 |
| thesheff17 | RoyK: not sure why term would work and not firefox but I have no issue. | 19:06 |
| RoyK | xeyes/xterm uses x11 tunneling | 19:06 |
| genii-around | RoyK: Is there a local copy of it running already? ( firefox ) | 19:09 |
| RoyK | nope | 19:09 |
| genii-around | RoyK: Perhaps try calling firefox with the swith of --no-remote | 19:13 |
| RoyK | no change | 19:13 |
| genii-around | Hm. It's a puzzler. | 19:13 |
| RoyK | that is - with --no-remote, it only gave me 'X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.' once | 19:13 |
| RoyK | without it, the error message came twice | 19:14 |
| DrDetroit | When I download and install dhcp3-server, does it by default turn itself on? | 19:21 |
| RoyK | DrDetroit: you need to configure it first | 19:23 |

| hallyn | now i'm really enjoying using my new lxc-clone and lxc-lvm-clone | 21:35 |
| hallyn | i need to kick those to upstream nad see if they can integrate them | 21:35 |
| azizLIGHTS | if i want to rehost youtube videos on my own httpd, what should i do? | 22:18 |
| SpamapS | azizLIGHTS: do you have the right to re-distribute said videos? | 22:20 |
| azizLIGHTS | yes | 22:20 |
| SpamapS | azizLIGHTS: then you would just host the .flv file on your httpd | 22:21 |
| azizLIGHTS | i dont want to download the flv from my httpd , i want to see it streaming in a aplayer on my httpd | 22:22 |
| adam_g | hallyn: lxc-clone/lvm-clone? does that clone via lvm CoW snapshot? | 22:22 |
| azizLIGHTS | so how can i do that | 22:22 |
| hallyn | right | 22:22 |
| hallyn | adam_g: right | 22:23 |
| azizLIGHTS | SpamapS: so how can i do that | 22:23 |
| SpamapS | azizLIGHTS: put them in the DocumentRoot of the webserver | 22:23 |
| SpamapS | azizLIGHTS: I think by default that is /var/www | 22:23 |
| azizLIGHTS | SpamapS: yes, but that makes my browser download the flv. i want to see it in a player with pause/play, buffer | 22:24 |
| azizLIGHTS | skip seek | 22:24 |
| azizLIGHTS | what is that thing called that does that | 22:25 |
| raphink_ | then you need to develop a web page that embeds the videos | 22:25 |
| azizLIGHTS | somebody already made it i bet for free, what is it called>? im not sure of name so i cannot google it | 22:25 |
| raphink_ | or instead of using the flv, try using mpeg or even webm, and embeds them using HTML5 | 22:25 |
| azizLIGHTS | oh | 22:25 |
| raphink_ | that depends on your users, too | 22:25 |
| azizLIGHTS | thats nice for chrome i think | 22:26 |
| azizLIGHTS | i am the user btw | 22:26 |
| raphink_ | since there's still quite a few people using old browsers that don't support HTML5 + webm | 22:26 |
| raphink_ | if you're the only user, then you can choose whatever technology fits you ;-) | 22:26 |
| raphink_ | so go for the easiest one, which is probably HTML5+webm | 22:26 |
| azizLIGHTS | ok i like ur idea but i also want to try those flash players theyare nice | 22:27 |
| azizLIGHTS | you know any i can use on my server | 22:27 |
| raphink_ | I've never done anything with a flash video player | 22:28 |
| raphink_ | you can search for one that is free, but I can't recommend you one | 22:28 |
