| Leandrort | hey, can anyone give me some help?? | 03:17 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | 03:17 | |
| holstein | with? | 03:17 |
| holstein | 03:17 | |
| Leandrort | im really a linux beginner, and i am trying to set up a ubuntu server to route my network connection to my lan | 03:18 |
| holstein | Leandrort: what? | 03:19 |
| holstein | you want ubuntu to act as a router? | 03:19 |
| Leandrort | yes | 03:19 |
| holstein | did you google that? | 03:19 |
| holstein | Leandrort: wireless router? | 03:19 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-314932.html | 03:20 |
| Leandrort | yes, i have a bunch of sites opened here, but my problem is that I want to configure ubuntu to use 2 internet connections to route them to my lan | 03:20 |
| Leandrort | load ballance... | 03:20 |
| holstein | http://ubuntulinuxhowto.blogspot.com/2006/06/setup-your-computer-to-be-router.html | 03:21 |
| holstein | OK | 03:21 |
| holstein | i havent done that | 03:21 |
| holstein | you might need to track down some server guys for that | 03:21 |
| holstein | i know #ubuntu-server can be slow | 03:21 |
| holstein | feel free to camp out here though :) | 03:21 |
| AndrewMC | perhaps the forums? | 03:22 |
| Leandrort | yeah, the thing is that I think I maybe too beginner to do something like that, so I thought on hitting the chat here to try and get some cool blog addresses like the one holstein suggested, thanks btw | 03:23 |
| holstein | Leandrort: you read... | 03:26 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=656209 | 03:26 |
| holstein | ? | 03:26 |
| holstein | a little dated maybe | 03:26 |
| holstein | but relevant it seems | 03:26 |
| kevin5949173 | did you say load balancing Leandrort? | 03:27 |
| kevin5949173 | i would think that would be more involved than just setting it up as a router, but router is probably the first step | 03:28 |
| Leandrort | well, holstein`s last link is exactly what I am looking for... | 03:28 |
| holstein | yeah, id take it slow | 03:28 |
| kevin5949173 | yeah, looks like it. i'm reading | 03:28 |
| holstein | chip away at one thing at a time | 03:28 |
| holstein | thats not a trivial setup you are going for | 03:29 |
| holstein | do-able AFAIK | 03:29 |
| Leandrort | I understand | 03:30 |
| kevin5949173 | hmmm, link doesn't have a solution, really | 03:30 |
| kevin5949173 | they say to use something other than ubuntu | 03:30 |
| Leandrort | yeah | 03:31 |
| kevin5949173 | i mean, if you have 3 nics, there must be some configuration you would have to do to select them | 03:31 |
| had_matter | relevant it does seem. | 03:31 |
| had_matter | this is what I am doing... | 03:32 |
| had_matter | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html | 03:32 |
| kevin5949173 | i'm going to read the router one | 03:32 |
| Leandrort | well, I got some good info from one of holstein`s links, at least to set up a first basic routing with one internet connection | 03:32 |
| had_matter | this is where I am stuck.... | 03:32 |
| had_matter | Install dnsmasq and ipmasq using the following command | 03:32 |
| had_matter | # apt-get install dnsmasq ipmasq | 03:32 |
| holstein | had_matter: in what way? | 03:33 |
| holstein | are you familiar with apt? | 03:33 |
| holstein | or what that does? | 03:33 |
| had_matter | package ipmasq is not available... | 03:33 |
| kevin5949173 | i wonder if there's any official documentation on router set up | 03:33 |
| holstein | hmmm | 03:33 |
| holstein | does it give you any suggestion about what the pacakge changed to? | 03:33 |
| had_matter | this may mean the package is missing... | 03:33 |
| kevin5949173 | oh here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router | 03:34 |
| holstein | sometimes they get updated | 03:34 |
| holstein | kevin5949173: yeah, i bet that is more current | 03:34 |
| had_matter | nope. no reference | 03:34 |
| kevin5949173 | here's another one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyRouter | 03:34 |
| had_matter | but it is referred to by another package | 03:34 |
| holstein | yeah, what package? | 03:35 |
| holstein | thats probably going to be fine | 03:35 |
| had_matter | @ me? | 03:35 |
| had_matter | <holstein> | 03:35 |
| holstein | not sure | 03:35 |
| holstein | for a minute i was thinking Leandrort = had_matter | 03:35 |
| had_matter | thats not me | 03:36 |
| holstein | yeah ;) | 03:36 |
| holstein | had_matter: but you are trying to install those packages as well? | 03:36 |
| kristian-aalborg | hi | 03:37 |
| had_matter | i tried to install both, dnsmasq, ipmasq | 03:38 |
| kristian-aalborg | a server to stream music from via ssh... what would it cost? | 03:39 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: i got my current server from the charity shop | 03:40 |
| holstein | it was 10 bucks | 03:40 |
| kristian-aalborg | not too bad :) | 03:40 |
| holstein | serving video to multiple clients might be a different story | 03:40 |
| kristian-aalborg | I'm thinking something a group of people could use... then have a laptop stream from it | 03:41 |
| holstein | but, unless you got some crazy new networking gear all around the house | 03:41 |
| kristian-aalborg | holstein: no video, just music | 03:41 |
| holstein | thats usually the bottleneck | 03:41 |
| holstein | and any old box will server audio | 03:41 |
| holstein | serve* | 03:41 |
| kevin5949173 | why not use apache to stream the audio? | 03:41 |
| holstein | or ampache :) | 03:42 |
| holstein | !ampache | 03:42 |
| kevin5949173 | that is interesting that ssh could be used | 03:42 |
| ubot2 | Factoid 'ampache' not found | 03:42 |
| holstein | :/ | 03:42 |
| holstein | not in the repos i guess | 03:42 |
| kristian-aalborg | I don't have any preferences... I just thought ssh was the obvious thing to do | 03:42 |
| kevin5949173 | i guess i can think of one way | 03:42 |
| kristian-aalborg | on a WAN | 03:42 |
| holstein | i used to use freenas | 03:42 |
| holstein | easy to set up shares to lin win or osx | 03:42 |
| holstein | ssh | 03:42 |
| holstein | ftp | 03:42 |
| holstein | whatever | 03:43 |
| holstein | a commandline only ubuntu install with SSH would work great though | 03:43 |
| kristian-aalborg | yes, that was my thought | 03:43 |
| holstein | i found a P4 | 03:44 |
| kristian-aalborg | what program do you use for playback? I like ncmpcpp.... | 03:44 |
| holstein | 2.4ghz or so | 03:44 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: whatever | 03:44 |
| holstein | i like VLC | 03:44 |
| holstein | but, you just mount the ssh share | 03:44 |
| holstein | and play it in whatever you want | 03:44 |
| kristian-aalborg | holstein: that's not old, that's what I'm running on right now | 03:44 |
| holstein | like its local | 03:44 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: well, that would work great | 03:45 |
| holstein | my last server was a p3 | 03:45 |
| holstein | 900mhz | 03:45 |
| holstein | i got it at the same charity shop for $15 | 03:45 |
| holstein | years and years ago | 03:45 |
| holstein | that would be up to the tast as well | 03:45 |
| kristian-aalborg | that's a good charity shop you have there :) | 03:45 |
| holstein | task* | 03:45 |
| kevin5949173 | that's a nice charity shop :) | 03:46 |
| holstein | yeah, we got a coupld of nice goodwill's | 03:46 |
| holstein | one of them | 03:46 |
| holstein | not too far from me | 03:46 |
| holstein | has a seperate computer outlet | 03:46 |
| holstein | last time i was there | 03:46 |
| holstein | they had a stack of p4's | 03:46 |
| holstein | probably 10 of them | 03:46 |
| holstein | for like 80 bucks a pop | 03:46 |
| holstein | with fedora pre-installed :) | 03:47 |
| kristian-aalborg | holstein: you're probably aware that I'm alwas on the lookout for old laptop memory btw | 03:47 |
| holstein | i see ubuntu boxes there regularly as well | 03:47 |
| qwebirc3504 | hello | 03:47 |
| had_matter | is ipmasq required for ICS? | 03:47 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: i have some | 03:47 |
| qwebirc3504 | Can I install indicator-sysmonitor (for Natty) in Maverick? Here's the .deb package https://launchpad.net/indicator-sysmonitor/+download | 03:47 |
| holstein | qwebirc3504: i say, as long as its a deb | 03:47 |
| kristian-aalborg | holstein: really old stuff... + 10 years? | 03:47 |
| holstein | and you can find it | 03:47 |
| holstein | in synaptic | 03:47 |
| holstein | and know how to get rid of it | 03:48 |
| holstein | try it | 03:48 |
| qwebirc3504 | :p | 03:48 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: id have to look but i think | 03:48 |
| kristian-aalborg | I cannot find ram sticks in synaptic, gimme a break :P | 03:48 |
| kristian-aalborg | no matter how sudo I am... | 03:48 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install old-memory ? | 03:48 |
| holstein | no? | 03:48 |
| kristian-aalborg | holstein: please do... we can figure out something with paypal | 03:48 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: remind me | 03:49 |
| kristian-aalborg | np | 03:49 |
| holstein | i dont think i can put my hands on them tonite | 03:49 |
| kristian-aalborg | however, one thing I wonder about with an old desktop... is power consumption and noise | 03:49 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: very valid | 03:50 |
| holstein | part of why i dumped the p3 | 03:50 |
| holstein | noise | 03:50 |
| holstein | the p4 is not bad | 03:50 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: one of those netbooks would do that too | 03:50 |
| holstein | if you could find an early eee701 | 03:50 |
| holstein | with the ssd fried | 03:50 |
| qwebirc3504 | holstein: it works fine :) | 03:50 |
| kevin5949173 | it really is ultimately greener to use up old equipment than to produce something that's new i think | 03:50 |
| holstein | boot a USB drive on it | 03:51 |
| kristian-aalborg | I just got rid of one... actually had a nightmare about it a few hours ago | 03:51 |
| holstein | qwebirc3504: :) | 03:51 |
| qwebirc3504 | :> | 03:51 |
| kristian-aalborg | holstein: you mean for streaming, not server? | 03:51 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: sure | 03:51 |
| kevin5949173 | kristian-aalborg: there was a guy in #ubuntu-uk i think that had one of those | 03:51 |
| kevin5949173 | netbooks that is | 03:51 |
| holstein | really quiet | 03:52 |
| holstein | and good on the power | 03:52 |
| holstein | and if the ssd is dead | 03:52 |
| holstein | a used on of those should be like 20 bucks right? | 03:52 |
| holstein | with no SSD or battery | 03:52 |
| holstein | thats all you need | 03:52 |
| kevin5949173 | if you could tuck the older server away somewhere that you're not sleeping in or something, like the garage, or a closet or something it might not matter | 03:52 |
| holstein | mine is in my crawl-space | 03:52 |
| kevin5949173 | under the house? | 03:53 |
| kevin5949173 | cool | 03:53 |
| holstein | well, its a 2 story house | 03:53 |
| holstein | so its easier to get to than that | 03:53 |
| kristian-aalborg | but it would be on 24/7? | 03:53 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: mine is | 03:53 |
| kevin5949173 | we're in a 2 story house, but there isn't really a "crawl space" between floors | 03:53 |
| kristian-aalborg | I prefer an old laptop of decent quality to an Eee anytime | 03:54 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: i found a few with bad LCD's | 03:54 |
| holstein | that would work too | 03:54 |
| holstein | no LCD | 03:54 |
| holstein | no battery | 03:54 |
| holstein | a p4 | 03:54 |
| holstein | headless laptop ;) | 03:54 |
| holstein | i ripped the screen off a dying dell p3 and used it as a server as well | 03:55 |
| qwebirc3504 | holstein: how do I retrive just the CPU info in terminal | 03:57 |
| holstein | cat /proc/cpuinfo | 03:59 |
| kristian-aalborg | holstein: I suppose the easiest/ cheapest thing would be a headless desktop | 03:59 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: depends | 04:00 |
| holstein | id say, just keep an eye out | 04:00 |
| qwebirc3504 | thanks | 04:00 |
| holstein | you probably see a windows box abandoned somewhere | 04:00 |
| qwebirc3504 | holstein: and no the applet is not working :p | 04:01 |
| qwebirc3504 | now i notice that info is suck | 04:01 |
| Cheri703 | running into an issue: tried to install a .deb, software center says it's installed, and only gives a "reinstall" option. the software doesn't show up in the applications list, nor /user/bin...any thoughts on where to go from here? | 04:01 |
| holstein | qwebirc3504: yeah, it might not | 04:02 |
| holstein | qwebirc3504: the official term is 'backporting' | 04:02 |
| holstein | qwebirc3504: but, its probably something that will show up in a PPA | 04:03 |
| holstein | OR, just get back ported automatically | 04:03 |
| qwebirc3504 | holstein: The following packages will be REMOVED: python-psutil | 04:03 |
| holstein | well, not automatically ;) | 04:03 |
| holstein | but, without needing to raise much fuxx | 04:03 |
| holstein | fuss* | 04:03 |
| holstein | qwebirc3504: that got installed with it right? | 04:04 |
| qwebirc3504 | i guess | 04:04 |
| qwebirc3504 | :) | 04:04 |
| holstein | lol | 04:04 |
| holstein | well, you'll find out | 04:04 |
| holstein | looks like something that is OK to remove | 04:04 |
| qwebirc3504 | yep | 04:04 |
| holstein | !python-psutil | 04:05 |
| ubot2 | Factoid 'python-psutil' not found | 04:05 |
| holstein | !python | 04:05 |
| ubot2 | python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org/ or #python | 04:05 |
| qwebirc3504 | anyway I use conky | 04:05 |
| qwebirc3504 | but most of the time is hidden | 04:05 |
| * holstein likes conky | 04:05 | |
| holstein | i dont use it though | 04:05 |
| holstein | i cant leave it alone ;) | 04:05 |

| davidl_ | Hi there... trying to grep for a string in a bunch of files in a directory I'm sitting in... and can't get the syntax correct... what am I doing wrong?? Here's what I'm typing: # grep -f -l Stream ./* | 17:36 |
| davidl_ | I thought all i needed to do was type grep -f -l <search string> <location> | 17:38 |
| camelinahat | davidl_: I'm not 100% sure, if it's just in the current directory why not just: grep Stream * | 17:41 |
| camelinahat | the -f specifies one specific file. | 17:42 |
| davidl_ | well... I guess I was just trying to get the list of files that "stream' showed up in | 17:42 |
| davidl_ | grep -l stream * | 17:42 |
| davidl_ | hehe... thx | 17:42 |
| camelinahat | leave out the -f option. (-f specifies what file "pattern" is listed in, for instance you'd have to have a file that said just "Stream" and have that as the arguement to the -f option ;) | 17:43 |
| davidl_ | camelinahat: thank you! | 17:47 |

| poasjgtnpiahbtna | Hi9 | 22:43 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | I have a question about loading ubuntu onto a laptop | 22:44 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | the bios of the laptop is not detecting the usb | 22:44 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | and i cannot boot ubuntu from it | 22:44 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | does anyone have a solution | 22:44 |
| holstein | poasjgtnpiahbtna: cant do CDrom boot? | 22:44 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | i can | 22:45 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | but i dont have the resources | 22:45 |
| holstein | OK | 22:45 |
| holstein | have you tried formatting the USB stick | 22:45 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | is there a way i can get the bios of my laptop to recognize it | 22:45 |
| holstein | and re-making it | 22:45 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | and yes i have | 22:45 |
| holstein | with unetbooting? | 22:45 |
| holstein | OK | 22:45 |
| holstein | poasjgtnpiahbtna: either the hardware can boot it | 22:45 |
| holstein | or it cant | 22:45 |
| Guest460372 | does your laptop support pxe network booting? | 22:46 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | umm | 22:46 |
| Guest460372 | oops, empathy | 22:46 |
| holstein | you cant add that funtionality really | 22:46 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | i dont know | 22:46 |
| === Guest460372 is now known as kevin1394939 | ||
| holstein | yeah, network booting is older id say | 22:46 |
| holstein | more likely to work | 22:46 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | its an old dell inspiron | 22:46 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | from like 2001 | 22:46 |
| holstein | right | 22:46 |
| holstein | so it probably doesnt USB boot | 22:46 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | yea | 22:46 |
| holstein | poasjgtnpiahbtna: can you take the hard drive to a machine that does? | 22:47 |
| kevin1394939 | if you have another computer with ubuntu on the network, you can set it up for netbooting, let me find the how to on that | 22:47 |
| holstein | does support USB booting ? | 22:47 |
| holstein | yeah, or just net-install like kevin1394939 is suggesting ^ | 22:47 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | wait | 22:47 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | ok | 22:47 |
| holstein | thats how the pro's would do it | 22:47 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | lol | 22:47 |
| kevin1394939 | find the link, sorry | 22:47 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | but i saw on the dell website that theres a bios update | 22:47 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | for my laptop | 22:48 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | i just dont want to in case something might go awry | 22:48 |
| holstein | poasjgtnpiahbtna: what do you have in the thing? | 22:48 |
| kevin1394939 | i have a toshiba (meh) and updating the bios required burning a cd | 22:48 |
| holstein | 4 bucks? | 22:48 |
| kevin1394939 | since the bios updater was a windows program | 22:48 |
| holstein | usually with bioses, i say, if it aint broke... | 22:48 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | what do u mean what do i have in the thing | 22:48 |
| holstein | poasjgtnpiahbtna: im saying its old, so worst case scenario, you end up with a door stop | 22:49 |
| kevin1394939 | here's the how to for netbooting poasjgtnpiahbtna: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot | 22:49 |
| holstein | instead of a frustrating old laptop | 22:49 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | right... | 22:49 |
| holstein | i seriously dont think updating the bios will add USB booting functionality | 22:50 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | the bios was made at 206 | 22:50 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | 2006 | 22:50 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | so i think it would | 22:50 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | my bios is actually from 2000 | 22:51 |
| holstein | well, never say never right? | 22:51 |
| holstein | but, ive never seen it | 22:51 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | oh... | 22:51 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | so at this point its either netboot or boot from CD | 22:51 |
| holstein | or take the hard drive to another box | 22:52 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | ok | 22:52 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | i think ill just look harder for the CDs lol | 22:52 |
| holstein | you can order them | 22:52 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | i know | 22:52 |
| holstein | if its a burner issue | 22:52 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | its not a burner issue | 22:52 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | i cand find my discs in my house | 22:53 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | and my parents dont want me ordering stuff to be mailed | 22:53 |
| kevin1394939 | too bad a tiny linux install doesn't come on a chip | 22:53 |
| holstein | well, they'll come in handy | 22:53 |
| holstein | if you need to go buy some | 22:53 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | yea | 22:53 |
| holstein | and you're working on older boxes like that | 22:53 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | oh actually | 22:53 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | maybe i can get my bios to look for OSes by reordering what it looks at first | 22:54 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | i know it looks at my hard drive first on my comp | 22:54 |
| holstein | poasjgtnpiahbtna: i dont think you'll get that to boot that USB | 22:54 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | but when i was in the bios it had an option to change the first thing as the USB drive | 22:54 |
| holstein | poasjgtnpiahbtna: let me know if you do :) | 22:55 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | lol | 22:55 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | how | 22:55 |
| holstein | i have a couple older dells | 22:55 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | and? | 22:55 |
| holstein | and flashing the bioses never added that funcionaltiy | 22:55 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | oh... | 22:56 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | :/ | 22:56 |
| holstein | to be honest, i dont think i was as commited to the task as you seem to be poasjgtnpiahbtna :) | 22:56 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | lol | 22:56 |
| holstein | i just kinda tried a couple things | 22:56 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | like> | 22:56 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | ? | 22:56 |
| holstein | while the CD was burning | 22:56 |
| holstein | and just did that | 22:56 |
| holstein | poasjgtnpiahbtna: like a CD | 22:56 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | oh | 22:56 |
| holstein | that can boot other things | 22:56 |
| holstein | which you would need to burn | 22:56 |
| holstein | and didnt work for me in that situations | 22:56 |
| holstein | situation* | 22:56 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | hmmm | 22:57 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | well | 22:57 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | ill try it | 22:57 |
| holstein | the gag bootloader | 22:57 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | lolwut? | 22:57 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | well anyways | 22:57 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | thanks for the help | 22:58 |
| holstein | http://gag.sourceforge.net/ | 22:58 |
| holstein | but, you'd need to burn that too | 22:58 |
| holstein | and it didnt work for me | 22:58 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | byeok | 22:58 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | ok | 22:58 |
| thwrath | hey all | 22:58 |
| holstein | its a matter of what the machine can boot | 22:58 |
| === thwrath is now known as thewrath | ||
| holstein | and you should be able to | 22:58 |
| holstein | somehow | 22:58 |
| holstein | boot a CD | 22:58 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | ok | 22:58 |
| thewrath | i have a question on the proper set up for an IDS | 22:58 |
| holstein | and then at that menu | 22:58 |

| holstein | poasjgtnpiahbtna: sure | 22:59 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | ok | 22:59 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | thanks for the help | 22:59 |
| poasjgtnpiahbtna | bye | 22:59 |
| thewrath | how is an IDS setup supposed to look like? | 23:01 |
| holstein | thewrath: that might be a good question for ##security | 23:01 |
| holstein | naptime... | 23:02 |
| thewrath | anyone in here have any good ideas? | 23:06 |
| kevin1394939 | thewrath i don't know, but if you figure it out, there is no IDS wiki it looks like | 23:10 |

| robs58 | Greetings! I am having problems changing my root password. When I go to do a "passwd root", I get the following Unknown error | 23:21 |
| robs58 | passwd: unknown user (uid=0). | 23:21 |
| robs58 | any ideas on where to start? | 23:21 |
| holstein | robs58: you shouldnt have a root password | 23:22 |
| holstein | robs58: typically, the way ubuntu works | 23:22 |
| holstein | you just use sudo | 23:23 |
| holstein | IF you have changed that default behavior | 23:23 |
| holstein | and enabled a more traditional root account | 23:23 |
| holstein | you might want to re-examine the meathod by which you did that | 23:23 |
| robs58 | ok | 23:23 |
| holstein | IF you need to run something as root | 23:23 |
| holstein | you just do sudo | 23:24 |
| holstein | sudo command | 23:24 |
| holstein | and the password you are prompted for will be your user password | 23:24 |
| holstein | IR you want a root console | 23:24 |
| holstein | open a terminal and type | 23:24 |
| holstein | sudo -s | 23:25 |
| holstein | enter the user pass | 23:25 |
| robs58 | for reasons I can't really go into, it is necessary to use root....any ideas on what can be causing that message? | 23:25 |
| holstein | robs58: sure | 23:25 |
| holstein | what ever guide you followed to enable the root account messed something up | 23:25 |
| holstein | OR | 23:25 |
| holstein | you had capslock on when you set the root password | 23:26 |
| holstein | keyboard error | 23:26 |
| holstein | could be anything | 23:26 |
| holstein | robs58: i 'use' root all the time | 23:26 |
| holstein | with the sudo command | 23:26 |

| holstein | robs999: you should use pastebin | 23:27 |
| holstein | OR http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 23:27 |
| robs999 | ok | 23:27 |
| holstein | robs999 robs58 thats a lot like what i get when i run that command | 23:28 |
| robs999 | I used pastebin but can't tell that anything happened. what is supposed to happen | 23:29 |
| holstein | robs999: http://paste.ubuntu.com/588027/ | 23:30 |
| holstein | thats the output of that command for me | 23:30 |
| holstein | as root then normal user | 23:30 |
| holstein | and all is well on my system | 23:30 |
| thewrath | holstein: thought you were going to take a nap lol | 23:30 |
| holstein | thewrath: hehe | 23:30 |
| holstein | yeah, i still am... | 23:30 |
| robs999 | I see | 23:31 |
| holstein | robs999: sudo is the way to go | 23:31 |
| robs999 | okay | 23:31 |
| holstein | i cant imagine why you cant use sudo | 23:31 |
| holstein | gksudo for graphical apps * | 23:31 |
| holstein | robs999: if you didnt change anything | 23:32 |
| holstein | there is not root | 23:32 |
| holstein | there is no root* | 23:32 |
| holstein | not like in the older traditional sense | 23:32 |
| robs999 | I didn't create the system. I inherited it...right now I'm just trying to get it temporarily fixed...and THEN...when I have more time...I can invest in the learning curve of using sudo | 23:32 |
| robs999 | And right now...practical matters prevent me from doing os | 23:32 |
| robs999 | so | 23:32 |
| holstein | robs999: you'll need the user password | 23:32 |
| holstein | and that can be recovered | 23:33 |
| holstein | at boot | 23:33 |
| holstein | the recovery console | 23:33 |
| holstein | if i were you, i would just reinstall | 23:33 |
| holstein | and get the box setup the way i want | 23:33 |
| robs999 | I can't just reinstall...this is being used in a production environment. Reinstalling would impact many users | 23:34 |
| holstein | robs999: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword | 23:34 |
| robs999 | thanks | 23:34 |
| holstein | good luck | 23:35 |
| holstein | now, naptime :) | 23:35 |
| thewrath | what is the libpcap package name in 10.10 | 23:59 |
