[08:25] <philipballew> how can i set up my ubuntu server to allow me to ssh into it from miles away?
[08:26] <bioterror> !dyndns
[08:26] <ubot2> Factoid 'dyndns' not found
[08:26] <bioterror> get your computer static ip address
[08:26] <bioterror> or use dyndns or something else
[08:26] <bioterror> !next
[08:26] <ubot2> Factoid 'next' not found
[08:27] <philipballew> bioterror, what if my router does not have the option to register a dyndns account?
[08:27] <bioterror> you do it manually
[08:27] <bioterror> and get yourself a better router
[08:27] <Unit193> !info ddclient
[08:27] <philipballew> its on the to-do list.
[08:31] <bioterror> should I also remind you to add port forwarding too?
[08:32] <philipballew> bioterror, no. port 2222 i think im gona use
[08:32] <philipballew> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DynamicDNS
[08:32] <philipballew> found this!
[08:33] <Unit193> Why is OpenDNS on that list?
[08:35] <philipballew> idk Unit193
[09:05] <s-fox> Hello.
[09:05] <Unit193> Howdy
[09:05] <s-fox> Hello Unit193
[12:21] <dr0pb3ar> I am having a problem with a western digital hard drive. I have plugged it in and it is definitely powered up and spinning but it is not coming up when I plug it in. It isn't coming up on gparted either... any help would be much appreciated.
[12:23] <geirha> Do you see it when you open a terminal and run the following command?   sudo fdisk -l
[12:23] <geirha> That's dash lowercase L, not minus 1
[12:26] <dr0pb3ar> no it doesn's
[12:26] <dr0pb3ar> *doesn't
[12:28] <geirha> Ok, so how is it connected? IDE/PATA, SATA, ESATA, USB, Firewire?
[12:28] <dr0pb3ar> usb
[12:28] <bobweaver> lsusb
[12:29] <bobweaver> you see it ?
[12:30] <dr0pb3ar> hold on will pastebin results
[12:30] <geirha> Is it an external cabinet containing a SATA or IDE disk? or just a regular USB harddrive?
[12:30] <dr0pb3ar> It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me
[12:30] <bobweaver> is this a masscool ??
[12:30] <bobweaver> http://www.masscool.com/
[12:31] <dr0pb3ar> it's just a regular 1tb usb hard drive
[12:31] <geirha> Ok, those should just work without any fuzz :/
[12:31] <dr0pb3ar> http://pastebin.com/SgvYurA8
[12:32] <bobweaver> which one is it
[12:32] <bobweaver> #
[12:32] <bobweaver> Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04f2:b130 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd
[12:32] <bobweaver> #
[12:32] <bobweaver> Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1164:0871 YUAN High-Tech Development Co., Ltd
[12:33] <dr0pb3ar> I don't know... it's a western digital drive
[12:33] <geirha> Unplug the drive, run lsusb again and tell us what line changed
[12:34] <dr0pb3ar> done... nothing changed... must not be mounting?
[12:34] <bobweaver> ls <---stands for list and usb stands fo well  do ls+usb= list all usb thing
[12:35] <geirha> dr0pb3ar: Try a different USB port
[12:36] <IdleOne> a WD drive would show something like: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1058:1110 Western Digital Technologies, Inc
[12:36] <IdleOne> for lsusb
[12:37] <bioterror> as lsusb just shows you devices
[12:37] <bioterror> I'll advice to check dmesg
[12:37] <bioterror> as it will tell what happens on kernel level
[12:37] <dr0pb3ar> it is still the same on other usb port
[12:38] <bioterror> carry on
[12:39] <dr0pb3ar> and dmesg shows nothing either
[12:39] <IdleOne> dr0pb3ar: anything showing from: sudo blkid
[12:40] <bioterror> IdleOne, nope if dmesg tells there's no sdX device
[12:40] <IdleOne> looks like you got a dead drive
[12:40] <IdleOne> happens
[12:40] <dr0pb3ar> okay... thanks anyway.
[12:41] <bioterror> power or something
[12:41] <bioterror> remove that drive from the case
[12:41] <bioterror> and plug it directly
[12:41] <geirha> He can hear it spin up, so it does get power
[12:41] <dr0pb3ar> how do you do that.
[12:41] <dr0pb3ar> will it have a sata cable
[12:43] <geirha> If it's not an external hdd case, I wouldn't attempt that.
[12:43] <dr0pb3ar> okay
[12:43] <bioterror> if it's out of warranty, I would tear it apart!
[12:44] <bioterror> as you have only data to loose ;)
[12:44] <geirha> If it's brand new, it's just a defective drive, so take it back to the retailer and they'll give you a new one.
[12:45] <dr0pb3ar> it's not new. it's belongs to another guy in my team and we are a bit short of them here in afghanistan so thought I might try and fix it up... think I might be out of options
[12:46] <IdleOne> dr0pb3ar: when plugged to a pc running windows does it come up?
[12:46] <dr0pb3ar> no it doesn't
[12:46] <IdleOne> definitely dead
[12:46] <IdleOne> target practice :)
[12:47] <dr0pb3ar> righto... will take it to the range tomorrow... thanks for you help guys
[15:29] <E3D3> Who can explane me gnome-system-monitor ?
[15:31] <nlsthzn-work> E3D3: what do you need to know?
[15:32] <E3D3> Please wait a moment. Maybe it was my Emacs that did strange, I have to check this.
[15:35] <E3D3> Sorry nlsthzn-work, I just saw I had a ghost-proces or something (Emacs) I think that it is solved.
[15:35] <E3D3> I was confused about that Emacs used a little memory and ALL cpu. I stopped it, also in System-monitor & after that it looks normal.
[15:36] <nlsthzn-work> OK Cool :)
[15:36] <E3D3> But very much thanks for your kind offer to help me. Good day/luck/etc.
[15:37] <nlsthzn-work> E3D3: no prob, cheers :)
[15:38] <E3D3>  :D
[18:18] <misen> Hello, can anyone tell me where are located the new startup scripts in Ubuntu 11.04?
[18:18] <mikde> all my apps hide under the title bar,what do I do?
[18:20] <mikde> I mean the top part of the app ,like the title bar
[18:20] <IAmNotThatGuy> misen, /etc/init.d is the one I think
[18:21] <IAmNotThatGuy> mikde, you are not able to see the file,edit  help and other menu bars right?
[18:21] <mikde> yes
[18:21] <IAmNotThatGuy> or the tittle bar? in the sense, the application name?
[18:21] <mikde> yes
[18:21] <misen> not anymore, that has changed to a event.d directory in the /etc dir but I cannot figure it out yet.
[18:21] <IAmNotThatGuy> mikde, what version are you using?
[18:22] <mikde> 11.04
[18:26] <IAmNotThatGuy> mikde, try unity --reset
[18:26] <IAmNotThatGuy> I think its unity you use
[18:27] <mikde> yes,but where is reset
[18:27] <IAmNotThatGuy> mikde, open terminal and type sudo unity --reset
[18:28] <mikde> thank you, i'll give it a try
[19:37] <philipballew> hey so i set up a dydns program on my computer and want to be able to ssh into my desktop from miles away. anyone know how?
[19:51] <geirha> If you're behind a router, port forward port 22 to your computer
[19:52] <geirha> then ssh username@your.dyndns.com
[19:53] <philipballew> hum. let me try that
[19:54] <philipballew> also i assigned the server a ststic ip of 192.168.1.200. i need to see if 200 is a good thing to choose
[19:55] <geirha> It's a good a byte as any
[19:57] <philipballew> hum. well i should probably go to starbucks and see if i can ssh into it
[19:57] <geirha> philipballew: Try it locally first.
[19:58] <misen> Does anyone know where are located the new startup scripts in Ubuntu 11.04?
[19:58] <geirha> If ssh user@yourdyndnshostname works, even from the same machine, you should be fine
[19:59] <geirha> misen: "startup" is a bit ambiguous. What are you looking for exactly?
[20:00] <misen> Add a startup script, query/enable/disable startup services, etc.
[20:01] <philipballew> geirha, if im on my local network should i port forword poet 22?
[20:02] <philipballew> also so it should look likr this geirha : ssh philip@philipserver1.no-ip.org
[20:02] <philipballew> dont worry, my password is pretty strong
[20:03] <geirha> philipballew: Yes, if that line works locally, it should work from a remote location too, like starbucks.
[20:05] <geirha> misen: ~/.config/autostart/ as in earlier versions. Or are you asking how to bring up the GUI?
[20:07] <misen> geirha: If I want to add a startup script, where can I do it now?
[20:09] <geirha> Hitting the windows key and typing startup should bring it up
[20:09] <geirha> Though if you're using a different language, you may need to provide part of the translated name for "startup applications"
[20:12] <misen> geirha: Startup applications: Network Connection Manager, Bluetooth, Dhcpd, Sshd, ACPI daemon, etc?.
[20:18] <geirha> misen: Ah, you mean init and upstart scripts
[20:20] <geirha> !upstart
[20:20] <ubot2> Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[20:20] <philipballew> geirha, hey so i opened port 22 but i cant seem to connect to it.
[20:22] <geirha> You forwarded port 22 on the router to port 22 on your desktops local 192.168.1.* address?
[20:26] <philipballew> geirha, http://imagebin.org/169358
[20:30] <philipballew> geirha, would my server ddydns not be working?
[20:31] <geirha> philipballew: Your dyndns works, you just haven't forwarded port 22 to your desktop computer
[20:32] <philipballew> the immagebin says i did?
[20:33] <geirha> You'll need to tell it that "when someone connects to remote-ip and port 22, it should be forwarded to 192.168.1.123 port 22
[20:34] <geirha> In that screenshot it appears you've opened port 22 in the firewall, possibly allowing ssh access to the router itself, from the outside.
[20:35] <geirha> http://portforward.com/ has guides on how to port forward on tons of different routers. See if you find your router there.
[20:36] <philipballew> hum. alright
[20:43] <misen> geirha: Thanks
[20:45] <misen> Ill take a look into the documents
[23:06] <philipballew> can i run a live cd and check if a hard drive is good
[23:09] <nlsthzn-work> philipballew: yup
[23:09] <philipballew> oh, well okay nlsthzn-work
[23:10] <nlsthzn-work> :) you can mount the drive very easily and you have access to all the same tools as a default install
[23:59] <bookpage> is there some option like -r for scp?
[23:59] <nlsthzn-work> bookpage: have you checked the man page?
