[02:27] heita all [08:48] hi all [08:48] morning [08:49] The only main difference between the thin client hardware that works and the one copied above that does not work is that non-working one had 2x DVI ports, do you think ltsp is getting confused about the dual DVI ports and therefore not able to bring up the ldm? [08:49] The thin client hardware that IS working: http://www.devonit.com/_wp//wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DIT_TC5Xc_SSheet-email.pdf [09:35] morning all [09:46] Hi Uncle Kilos [09:46] hiya nl you at work [09:46] grrr nlsthzn [09:47] not yet... night shift again [09:47] missed the tab key [09:47] ah [09:49] oh yes me be doff. shoulda seen there no -work at the end [10:04] *yawn* [10:14] :) but sleep for me now...

[12:53] lo deegee [12:54] Kilos: I can't really complain [12:56] hey Kilos [13:50] eish that remote goodie filling up my window with hamubs [13:58] Kilos: there is a way to ignore the user... haven't done it but I know it is possible [13:59] shame and i dunno even who he is [14:00] found a site that says the got the nct/nuk for that usb modem but it first wants to download a download manager and its for windows [14:00] grrr [14:01] oh maybe it was nuc [14:01] network unlocking key [14:04] nck [14:08] hmmmm.... [14:11] times i think the internet made for another generation than mine [14:14] Maaz, tell hanub1 to connect from some othe network [14:14] Kilos: I don't know who hanub1 is. Say 'hanub1 on freenode' and I'll take your word that hanub1 exists [14:14] oh [14:14] Maaz, tell hamub1 to try connect another way [14:14] Kilos: Sure, I'll tell hamub1 on freenode [14:37] hey guys. where do i request the unlocking code here please [14:38] i cant find the place to request it [14:38] like post new request or something [14:38] http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f88/some-zte-alcatel-free-unlocking-codes-request-only-here-906388/ [15:38] Hi all, im trying to install the package "dhcp3-server" on a ubuntu server 10.04 LTS fresh install but apt-get says that the package is not in any of the repositores? any advice? [15:39] ive setup my ubuntu server with a pppoe connection and i am able to ping out to google.co.za so im sure the internet is working [15:39] Maaz: rmadison dhcp3-server [15:39] tumbleweed: Sorry... [15:39] it should be there [15:40] i know its most frustrating! [15:40] have you "apt-get update"d? [15:40] yeah itried that [15:40] what's in your /etc/apt/sources.list? [15:41] im very new to linux but it seems like all the usual stuff, a bunch of za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and the security.* ones [15:41] with varying lucid/main/resitricted/universe.multiverse options on different lines [15:42] ive been to the #ubuntu channel and they said i should come here and ask ... ? im very confused and not really sure why it wouldn't be in there.... [15:43] can you pastebin the contents? http://paste.ubuntu.com/ also the output of apt-get install dhcp3-server [15:43] sure it'll take me a minute [15:43] if you know how i would happily set up a remote root thingey..openssh i believe is one? [15:44] let's avoid that if possible [15:44] im working off my laptop to talk to you, and the ubuntu server is on another machine with no gui installed so copying and pasting might be tricky! [15:44] can you not ssh into it? [15:45] umm well you see, i want to setup the server as a home gate-way and have managed to use a pppoe connection to connect it to the internet via my telkom router [15:45] the server has a keyboard/monitor attached [15:46] so thats what i use to configure it [15:46] i havn't gotten as far as trying to remote console onto it [15:46] ok, let's try some questions and answers then [15:46] im VERY new to all this less than a week [15:46] sure fire away [15:46] in the /etc/apt/sources.list, do you have a line that starts without a "#" and contains deb http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu main lucid [15:48] ive got one without the comment # infront of it saying: deb http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main restricted and the accompanying deb-src line [15:48] fine [15:48] when you run apt-get update, are there errors? [15:48] nope it just updates [15:48] gives percentages and it seems to work, no errors reported [15:48] "apt-cache search dhcp" do anything? [15:49] Fetched 286kb in 9s (30.0Kb/s) [15:49] oh wow [15:49] ok sorry [15:49] there are some errors [15:49] which are? [15:49] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-security/realease [15:50] there are quite a few like W: bla bla [15:50] im typing it out here [15:50] is it easy to ssh onto the server? [15:50] i can ping the server from this machine [15:50] and im running lubuntu on here [15:50] do you have an ssh server installed? [15:51] i havnt no, and i have no clue if it comes installed by default [15:51] no, it doesn't come bf default [15:51] sounds like your server isn't really connected to the internet [15:51] hmm it does ya [15:51] but i type "ping mweb.co.za" and it gets a reply ? [15:51] 25ms [15:52] it resolves to 196.2.63.51 [15:52] which i vaguely remember is mewbs ip [15:52] you aren't capped? [15:52] nope im dialling a 384 mweb uncapped [15:53] maybe this may help: i use the telkom router to dial up my mweb account as usual, then i have the server dialling a pppoe connection over that [15:53] im plugged into the router now on this laptop and so is the server [15:53] are you allowed 2 concurrent sessions with mweb uncapped? [15:54] the catch is its from the same line [15:54] so yes, afaik its allowed, and its work [15:54] works* [15:54] I don't know if that makes any difference, but yes you appear to have some connectivity [15:54] you don't have a proxy set or something? [15:54] nope just straight through the router [15:55] maybe it is my network setup [15:55] its very complicated [15:55] to explain [15:55] where can i put a picture up? [15:55] try this: wget -O- http://google.com/ [15:55] for you to see? [15:55] if you don't have wget, try curl http://google.com/ [15:56] claims -0- is an invalid option [15:56] Oh not Zero [15:57] mising url ? [15:57] no I meant that is an O, the letter [15:57] yeah i tried with a letter o and it says missing url ... [15:57] i tried to apt-get install curl [15:57] problems [15:58] says package curl is not available [15:58] you can't install things :) [15:58] you must have mystyped the URL [15:58] also O, not o [15:59] i type "wget -O http://google.com" [15:59] no [15:59] -O- [15:59] and it says wget: missing URL [15:59] LOL im such a retard [15:59] ok she works [15:59] did that spew out some HTML? [15:59] yep, loads [15:59] ok, wget -O- http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-security/Release [16:00] seeing as that was the error you mentioned [16:00] ya it spits more HTML [16:01] actually it should be plain text [16:01] ok weird though, both outputs look identical at the bottom [16:01] like both commands output the same html file? [16:01] ok, you'll have to try and read it :) [16:02] sounds like you're hitting a page on a proxy [16:02] yeah im roughly familiar with HTML, and it is exactly the same [16:02] superfly: yeah that's what I'm thinking [16:02] that is weird, there is no proxy...? the server in plugged into router, and the server dials a pppoe conn, i checked it in ifconfig [16:02] jubei-za: what is it? Is it an error / login form? [16:03] jubei-za: "route -n" does the 0.0.0.0 route go to ppp0? [16:03] look i dont know what it is the console tapers off the top section, its alot of lines of HTML! but the bottom sections are identical [16:04] actually you told us the answer ages ago [16:04] Maaz: get 196.2.63.51 [16:04] tumbleweed: 302 Redirect to http://landingpages.mweb.co.za/MWebHomeIncorrectUsernameorPasswordPage/tabid/817/Default.aspx, which gets a 200 OK "IMPORTANT NOTICE" [16:04] jubei-za: tell mweb they are a bunch of gits [16:04] lol i would love to, but thats just because of the shaping they do on my account [16:04] why now? [16:05] the ip address you gave for mweb.co.za isn't the same IP address I see for mweb.co.za [16:05] jubei-za: ^^ that's your proxy [16:05] and it's webserver redirects you to "MWebHomeIncorrectUsernameorPasswordPage" <- get the picture? [16:08] aaah pppoe internet connection not setup right! ok [16:08] lemme techeck [16:08] lol [16:13] lol was probably a little goofed when i put in the user/pass :) [16:14] I suppose this is rather user-friendly of them, but it's very sysadmin-unfriendly [16:16] ok the apt-get update is taking alot longer now, so i assume i will get the dhcp3-server package as well, thanks for all the help! [16:17] np, I wish all debugging was this fun [16:51] Maaz: get 196.2.63.51 [16:51] jubei-za: 302 Redirect to http://landingpages.mweb.co.za/MWebHomeIncorrectUsernameorPasswordPage/tabid/817/Default.aspx, which gets a 200 OK "IMPORTANT NOTICE" [16:59] * nlsthzn waves [16:59] superfly, modem working [17:00] Kilos: excellent! [17:00] but i am a bit ashamed , i had to use a winsucks pc to get it installed to enter the unlock code [17:00] without wvdial. nm went straight online without even setting anything [17:00] Kilos: you should have tried to use WINE - but I guess then you would have had to download and install it, hey? [17:00] i have wine but dont like it [17:01] Congrats Mr. Kilos ... [17:01] ty nlsthzn [17:01] i very happy [17:01] maverick rocks [17:01] nm went straight online [17:02] now i can also download in the 100s of Ks instead of 36KB per sec [17:02] yoo hoo [17:03] Which means your cap just gets busted so much faster :p [17:03] lol [17:03] there no cap [17:03] Ah sweet!! [17:03] but very frustrating to wait [17:03] pay as you go [17:03] no money no data [17:04] now to apply myself to getting sa broadband to get cheaper [17:06] here the site for all of ya [17:06] Maaz, unlock mobile [17:06] http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-906388-p-63.html [17:07] now those unhappy with cellc can change [17:07] Nice... not sure how legal in SA but nice :p [17:11] yeah, not sure how legal in any country, but personally I think that locking your device is anti-competitive behaviour [17:11] I wonder what the competition commission would say [17:11] Vodacom and MTN used to lock cellphones, back in the day [17:12] I don't think they've done it for years though [17:14] Not sure... but it makes sense on a product they give away for free or or a reduced price, they need to make money via you spending on re-charge... but you can always buy the unlocked version for the full price... so I am sure they are in the clear on it... [17:14] I have to buy my way out of my contract - is that not enough? [17:15] eish [17:15] well... I don't know... you signed it in the first place :p [17:15] but I have not heard of locked phones on contract though... only on pre-paid... [17:17] methinks all contract fones are locked to the sp [17:18] nlsthzn: in most cases you buy your own phone? [17:18] Kilos: no [17:18] oh [17:18] learn something new everyday [17:20] superfly: I used to take the phone given on the contract... used too when I was still in SA... Now I have to buy my own... [17:21] nlsthzn: well, my latest phone I bought myself, and gave my wife my contract phone [17:24] I still have my contract phone and contract... I have been in this country for more than two years... still not been able to cancel it :/ autopage ftl :( === nlsthzn is now known as nlsthzn-work [17:26] even my evolution is quicker [17:26] i very happy [17:27] :) [19:32] g'evening mrs_fly [19:33] welcome [19:33] nuvolari: I just logged her back in [19:33] superfly: oh :P [19:34] g'evening to you then superfly :P [19:34] hehe, evening nuvolari [19:35] ok, travelling home.

[20:14] Maaz: coffee please [20:14] nlsthzn-work: There isn't a pot on [20:14] not again... why I always loose out :/ [20:15] nlsthzn-work: in terms of an IRC client, yes, Quassel doesn't do everything that all the other ones do, since it's quite young [20:15] Maaz, ty [20:15] You're Welcome I'm sure [20:15] but it's a GUI IRC bouncer, which is the awesomesauce part [20:15] Maaz: coffee on [20:15] * Maaz washes some mugs [20:15] nlsthzn-work: ^^ now's your chance!
