[03:17] hey, can anyone give me some help?? [03:17] [03:17] with? [03:17] [03:18] im really a linux beginner, and i am trying to set up a ubuntu server to route my network connection to my lan [03:19] Leandrort: what? [03:19] you want ubuntu to act as a router? [03:19] yes [03:19] did you google that? [03:19] Leandrort: wireless router? [03:20] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-314932.html [03:20] 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] load ballance... [03:21] http://ubuntulinuxhowto.blogspot.com/2006/06/setup-your-computer-to-be-router.html [03:21] OK [03:21] i havent done that [03:21] you might need to track down some server guys for that [03:21] i know #ubuntu-server can be slow [03:21] feel free to camp out here though :) [03:22] perhaps the forums? [03:23] 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 [03:26] Leandrort: you read... [03:26] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=656209 [03:26] ? [03:26] a little dated maybe [03:26] but relevant it seems [03:27] did you say load balancing Leandrort? [03:28] 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] well, holstein`s last link is exactly what I am looking for... [03:28] yeah, id take it slow [03:28] yeah, looks like it. i'm reading [03:28] chip away at one thing at a time [03:29] thats not a trivial setup you are going for [03:29] do-able AFAIK [03:30] I understand [03:30] hmmm, link doesn't have a solution, really [03:30] they say to use something other than ubuntu [03:31] yeah [03:31] i mean, if you have 3 nics, there must be some configuration you would have to do to select them [03:31] relevant it does seem. [03:32] this is what I am doing... [03:32] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html [03:32] i'm going to read the router one [03:32] 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] this is where I am stuck.... [03:32] Install dnsmasq and ipmasq using the following command [03:32] # apt-get install dnsmasq ipmasq [03:33] had_matter: in what way? [03:33] are you familiar with apt? [03:33] or what that does? [03:33] package ipmasq is not available... [03:33] i wonder if there's any official documentation on router set up [03:33] hmmm [03:33] does it give you any suggestion about what the pacakge changed to? [03:33] this may mean the package is missing... [03:34] oh here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router [03:34] sometimes they get updated [03:34] kevin5949173: yeah, i bet that is more current [03:34] nope. no reference [03:34] here's another one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyRouter [03:34] but it is referred to by another package [03:35] yeah, what package? [03:35] thats probably going to be fine [03:35] @ me? [03:35] [03:35] not sure [03:35] for a minute i was thinking Leandrort = had_matter [03:36] thats not me [03:36] yeah ;) [03:36] had_matter: but you are trying to install those packages as well? [03:37] hi [03:38] i tried to install both, dnsmasq, ipmasq [03:39] a server to stream music from via ssh... what would it cost? [03:40] kristian-aalborg: i got my current server from the charity shop [03:40] it was 10 bucks [03:40] not too bad :) [03:40] serving video to multiple clients might be a different story [03:41] I'm thinking something a group of people could use... then have a laptop stream from it [03:41] but, unless you got some crazy new networking gear all around the house [03:41] holstein: no video, just music [03:41] thats usually the bottleneck [03:41] and any old box will server audio [03:41] serve* [03:41] why not use apache to stream the audio? [03:42] or ampache :) [03:42] !ampache [03:42] that is interesting that ssh could be used [03:42] Factoid 'ampache' not found [03:42] :/ [03:42] not in the repos i guess [03:42] I don't have any preferences... I just thought ssh was the obvious thing to do [03:42] i guess i can think of one way [03:42] on a WAN [03:42] i used to use freenas [03:42] easy to set up shares to lin win or osx [03:42] ssh [03:42] ftp [03:43] whatever [03:43] a commandline only ubuntu install with SSH would work great though [03:43] yes, that was my thought [03:44] i found a P4 [03:44] what program do you use for playback? I like ncmpcpp.... [03:44] 2.4ghz or so [03:44] kristian-aalborg: whatever [03:44] i like VLC [03:44] but, you just mount the ssh share [03:44] and play it in whatever you want [03:44] holstein: that's not old, that's what I'm running on right now [03:44] like its local [03:45] kristian-aalborg: well, that would work great [03:45] my last server was a p3 [03:45] 900mhz [03:45] i got it at the same charity shop for $15 [03:45] years and years ago [03:45] that would be up to the tast as well [03:45] that's a good charity shop you have there :) [03:45] task* [03:46] that's a nice charity shop :) [03:46] yeah, we got a coupld of nice goodwill's [03:46] one of them [03:46] not too far from me [03:46] has a seperate computer outlet [03:46] last time i was there [03:46] they had a stack of p4's [03:46] probably 10 of them [03:46] for like 80 bucks a pop [03:47] with fedora pre-installed :) [03:47] holstein: you're probably aware that I'm alwas on the lookout for old laptop memory btw [03:47] i see ubuntu boxes there regularly as well [03:47] hello [03:47] is ipmasq required for ICS? [03:47] kristian-aalborg: i have some [03:47] Can I install indicator-sysmonitor (for Natty) in Maverick? Here's the .deb package https://launchpad.net/indicator-sysmonitor/+download [03:47] qwebirc3504: i say, as long as its a deb [03:47] holstein: really old stuff... + 10 years? [03:47] and you can find it [03:47] in synaptic [03:48] and know how to get rid of it [03:48] try it [03:48] :p [03:48] kristian-aalborg: id have to look but i think [03:48] I cannot find ram sticks in synaptic, gimme a break :P [03:48] no matter how sudo I am... [03:48] sudo apt-get install old-memory ? [03:48] no? [03:48] holstein: please do... we can figure out something with paypal [03:49] kristian-aalborg: remind me [03:49] np [03:49] i dont think i can put my hands on them tonite [03:49] however, one thing I wonder about with an old desktop... is power consumption and noise [03:50] kristian-aalborg: very valid [03:50] part of why i dumped the p3 [03:50] noise [03:50] the p4 is not bad [03:50] kristian-aalborg: one of those netbooks would do that too [03:50] if you could find an early eee701 [03:50] with the ssd fried [03:50] holstein: it works fine :) [03:50] it really is ultimately greener to use up old equipment than to produce something that's new i think [03:51] boot a USB drive on it [03:51] I just got rid of one... actually had a nightmare about it a few hours ago [03:51] qwebirc3504: :) [03:51] :> [03:51] holstein: you mean for streaming, not server? [03:51] kristian-aalborg: sure [03:51] kristian-aalborg: there was a guy in #ubuntu-uk i think that had one of those [03:51] netbooks that is [03:52] really quiet [03:52] and good on the power [03:52] and if the ssd is dead [03:52] a used on of those should be like 20 bucks right? [03:52] with no SSD or battery [03:52] thats all you need [03:52] 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] mine is in my crawl-space [03:53] under the house? [03:53] cool [03:53] well, its a 2 story house [03:53] so its easier to get to than that [03:53] but it would be on 24/7? [03:53] kristian-aalborg: mine is [03:53] we're in a 2 story house, but there isn't really a "crawl space" between floors [03:54] I prefer an old laptop of decent quality to an Eee anytime [03:54] kristian-aalborg: i found a few with bad LCD's [03:54] that would work too [03:54] no LCD [03:54] no battery [03:54] a p4 [03:54] headless laptop ;) [03:55] i ripped the screen off a dying dell p3 and used it as a server as well [03:57] holstein: how do I retrive just the CPU info in terminal [03:59] cat /proc/cpuinfo [03:59] holstein: I suppose the easiest/ cheapest thing would be a headless desktop [04:00] kristian-aalborg: depends [04:00] id say, just keep an eye out [04:00] thanks [04:00] you probably see a windows box abandoned somewhere [04:01] holstein: and no the applet is not working :p [04:01] now i notice that info is suck [04:01] 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? [04:02] qwebirc3504: yeah, it might not [04:02] qwebirc3504: the official term is 'backporting' [04:03] qwebirc3504: but, its probably something that will show up in a PPA [04:03] OR, just get back ported automatically [04:03] holstein: The following packages will be REMOVED: python-psutil [04:03] well, not automatically ;) [04:03] but, without needing to raise much fuxx [04:03] fuss* [04:04] qwebirc3504: that got installed with it right? [04:04] i guess [04:04] :) [04:04] lol [04:04] well, you'll find out [04:04] looks like something that is OK to remove [04:04] yep [04:05] !python-psutil [04:05] Factoid 'python-psutil' not found [04:05] !python [04:05] 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] anyway I use conky [04:05] but most of the time is hidden [04:05] * holstein likes conky [04:05] i dont use it though [04:05] i cant leave it alone ;) === steemed is now known as Vader === Vader is now known as st33med === st33med is now known as Vader === Vader is now known as st33med [04:28] is ipmasq required for ICS?

[17:42] well... I guess I was just trying to get the list of files that "stream' showed up in [17:42] grep -l stream * [17:42] hehe... thx [17:43] 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 ;) [17:47] camelinahat: thank you!

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