[00:04] good evening [00:07] is anybody familiar with the establishing of a connection to localhost? [00:07] in specific, do i have to be connected to a network in any kind, to connect to my localhost? [00:10] thanatos: no, localhost references only the system that you're on [00:10] for example, this system i'm on is a laptop [00:10] i can be disconnected from the internet [00:11] in every way shape and form, and be able to access localhost [00:11] because it goes through the `lo` interface [00:11] which is the loopback interface that your computer uses to communicate with itself [00:12] is it possible that the connection to my self is in anykind of way blocked? [00:12] for example default blocked, via internal firewall or something like that? [00:12] because if i try to connecto to my self, via local host, i get connection refused errors [00:13] my machine is not connected to any kind of network at all, on which i am trying to build a server client with python [00:14] as soon as i connect to a network, the error does not occure [00:14] but if i am offline, there is a connection refused [00:14] so i was woderning if there is some kind of restriction if connecting to my self [00:14] if i am not in a network [00:20] is there a way to use ssh in such a way that you can "connect" to the server, in the sense that whatever you type is run on the remote server, but what you type is not sent to the server in real time? In the same way running a remote command would almost but without having to run the ssh command every time. [00:26] K4k: rephrase [00:26] Sorry, I'm having trouble putting what I'm looking for into words [00:27] As in I type the commands in a terminal and when I hit enter, it sends the command but as I'm typing that command I [00:27] *** I'm not affected my network latency [00:28] I have a server that's on a really high latency network and there are often times 30 second periods where I get no response and that would be fine if my typing was not affected [00:30] K4k: you want to avoid having your typing affected by the latency? [00:31] pmatulis: yea, I'm not sure if this is possible with ssh though. The closest I've found is called "sshpass" but getting that to work is a bit of a "hack" [00:32] any solution for that would be a hack [00:32] that happens because of the design of SSH [00:32] I figured as much [00:32] it funnels your keyboard to the server, then feeds back the server's output [00:33] Yea, that's where I'm having an issue [00:33] any workaround would have to preprocess your input, then wait until you hit enter to send it [00:33] there's not enough bandwidth for that much traffic [00:33] which would cause issues with anything interactive [00:33] such as less [00:33] ...oh, hadn't thought of that... [00:34] K4k: if your typing often results in the same commands you could write scripts on the remote end, possibly passing an argument here and there [00:35] the best solution is getting a better link [00:35] the second best is typing very carefully [00:35] hmmm [00:36] Wasn't there, way way back, some kind of connection you could make to a machine that would do essential what I'm thinking of though? I could swear there was... [00:36] not any that connects directly to the built in terminal systems [00:36] it would have to have its own shell [00:38] serial terminals have similar behavior to what you desire, but that's simply because it sends the characters immediately regardless of what's going on [00:38] K4k: you could also just send remote commands: "ssh user@host 'aptitude search foo'" or use a script like i said: "ssh user@host 'script argument'" [00:38] pmatulis: I'm starting to think that's what I'll do [00:39] can bash aliases take $1 $2, etc? [00:39] I could make a bash alias that would do what I need I think [00:39] (using what you suggest pmatulis) [00:44] yup, ok that will work for what I need [00:45] K4k: super [01:21] New bug: #856027 in postfix (main) "package postfix 2.8.2-1ubuntu2.1 failed to install/upgrade: η υποδιεργασία installed post-installation script επέστρεψε κατάσταση λάθους 75" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/856027 === Daichi is now known as nandemonai [02:29] My package libxml2-dev is at 2.6 on the server but latest is 2.7 ? how can I properly update [02:34] libxml2 | 2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.2 | lucid-updates | source, amd64, i386 [02:34] aot2002: as long as you have lucid-updates enabled, you should get 2.7.6 as seen above [02:34] nope still at 2.6 [02:35] just applied all outstanding updates non of which were libxml2 [02:36] aot2002: Is lucid-updates in your sources.list ? [02:36] hmm let me check [02:36] yes [02:37] I wonder if it was installed through compile [02:38] Oh. If you are silly enough to use un-packaged software, then any mess you end up in is yours to sort out :) What does dpkg -l libxml2-dev output? [02:41] dpkg -l libxml2-dev [02:41] |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) [02:42] Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend [02:43] aot2002: No actual line with a version number in it?? [02:44] 2.7 [02:44] but seems to show 2.6 in php [02:44] something went wrong with 2.7 update i guess at some point [02:45] aot2002: For a -dev package, there is no harm in doing sudo apt-get purge libxml2-dev && sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev #to reinstall it, if you think the installation is incorrect. [02:46] If there is stuff in /opt or /usr/local, they have probably "sudo make install"'d [02:46] That's when you go back to $customer and tell them the rate just doubled [02:47] jmarsden, still in bad state [02:47] aot2002: Be specific... define "bad state". [02:47] How are you checking the state, and what is the result of that check? [02:48] Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) [02:48] doesn't that say reinstall-required [02:49] That is a header line. Where is the one with the version number in, that you seem to be avoiding posting??? [02:49] aot2002: that's telling you what the letters are in the columns [02:50] aot2002: Let me ask again slightly differently: what does dpkg -l libxml2-dev | tail -1 output? [02:51] http://pastebin.com/2QQzSN0d [02:53] aot2002: That says that you have installed libxml2-dev 2.7.6.dfsg-1ubuntu1.2 correctly. No problem visible. [02:53] hmm [02:53] So, why are you asking abou how to do something you already did? [02:53] because php is reporting 2.6 is installed [02:54] That is what it links against or finds, and it does not link against -dev anyway :) [02:54] I have lamp on compilation to keep the latest versions... do I need to recompile again when upgrading libxml2-dev [02:55] the whole point of a package-managed distribution like Ubuntu is to use packaged software. Doing anything else is a bad idea. If you need to backport the latest packages, and then install them, do so. [02:56] well that makes sense except php5-curl doesn't install the extension into the package [02:56] hence why I'm using a compilation [02:56] I did a simple apt-get install php5 php5-curl apache2 [02:56] aot2002: OK, so download the package sources, edit them to compile with whatever options you like, and build your new packages... [02:57] Just don't mix packaged software and totally unpackaged "I will just compile this" software... [02:58] aot2002: Maybe you just need to edit your php.ini file to tell it about pgp5-curl ? [02:58] *php5-curl [02:59] But if that is the real issue, ask us about that, not about "My package libxml2-dev is at 2.6 on the server but latest is 2.7 ? how can I properly update" :) [02:59] It comes up often enough here that you should just program ubottu with a set response [03:00] Along the lines of "stable means it doesn't change; if you want to rice it up, #gentoo and #lfs are over there" (only more polite) [03:00] Okay sorry how can I get php5-curl working with the installed package from the repo's....then I can kill off hte compiled ver [03:01] aot2002: What happens when you install it and edit php.ini to use it? [03:02] In php info it shows the ini is loaded but does not show up in the list like the compiled version shows the version #. Also if I do a var_dump(curl_version()) the compiled shows the version of curl but the package version just throws a 500 error [03:03] OK... and you have software that really absolutely needs to do that, on a production server? [03:04] What is the *real* problem you are trying to solve here? [03:04] yes I use it with a custom software that uses curl to communicate with a remote payment system... [03:04] And that software calls curl_version() ? [03:05] no that's just how to show what version is installed since any call using curl fails [03:05] i was just pointing out the fact that it should return the version [03:05] OK. So the real issue is that you can't get any of the PHP curl functions to work, when using the packaged version. [03:06] yes [03:06] OK. Let me see if I can reproduce the problem, now we know what the problem is :) [03:06] also the compile version is linking to a 2.6 libxml which mediawiki needs 2.7 or it wont install [03:07] so i'd rather use package management system anyway [03:07] Got most of it setup [03:07] just can't get the regular extensions I use installed [03:11] OK, what does php -r 'phpinfo();' |grep -i curl | tail -3 output on your system? [03:12] (make sure the php binary you run is the one from a Ubuntu package, not one you compiled yourself!) [03:13] hmm how can I make sure [03:14] If you don't know, then I am not sure I have time to do this at this level of detail. I suggest you remove all the stuff you manually compiled, reinstall all your php packages from real official Ubuntu packages, and then see how well things work. [03:15] hey guys, i have to tweak an OS for one of my operating system classes. i was wondering if anyone had some thoughts, insight, or pointers on an idea i have about making a version of ubuntu with a building SVN esk type volume shadowcopy filesystem. any ideas? [03:16] T3CHKOMMIE: #ubuntu-server is for Ubuntu server support, not for doing your homework :) You can add arbitrary filesystems to Linux, either in kernel space, or userspace via FUSE. [03:18] jmarsden, its not really a homework assigment. I am looking for ideas on makeing an operating system specific for a specific task thought some of the guys on here would have some tips about OSes, [03:19] nevermind tho, ill just check some other channels and see if somone else is more knowlegable about operating systems and ubuntu. thanks tho. [03:19] haha, he sure schooled you [03:20] * ball snorts [03:32] jmarsden, thanks I think the compiled version is mucking with the package version -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 67936 2011-05-02 21:01 /usr/lib/php5/20090626/curl.so [03:33] Quite possibly. Removing all the stuff you manually added should help :) Now you see what I meant earlier, when I said: Just don't mix packaged software and totally unpackaged "I will just compile this" software... [03:35] It's basically the same as being compromised -- the only way to clean up properly is to do a full reinstall from scratch [03:37] :( [03:41] The lesson here is: don't do it again === marty_ is now known as Guest54852 [04:31] New bug: #856092 in cyrus-sasl2 (main) "11.10 beta1 alternate install broken dependency libsasl2-modules xserver-xorg-video-ati" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/856092 [04:48] Hmm, how do I get my server to accept the ipv6 range my router offers? [04:48] It's radvd, not dhcpv6. [04:49] Don't you need to enable RA in /proc/net somewhere? [04:50] I mean, the router is handing it out, and OS X and Win7 accept it. [04:51] Natty seems not to. [04:51] accept_ra [04:52] I don't have it in mine because I explicitly disable IPv6 until I'm ready to lock it down [04:53] But I found that in five seconds from https://duckduckgo.com/lite?q=linux+enable+ipv6+ra === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf [06:51] New bug: #856149 in bacula (main) "bacula-fd won't automatically start at boot" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/856149 === smb` is now known as smb [08:28] jamespage: The jenkins iso testing looks less than cool? === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf [08:36] Daviey, lemme take a look [08:37] jamespage: see -testing [08:41] hi [08:41] hey! :D im rsyncing a 20gb folder(/home) to a remote server and its at "Building File LIsts..." anyone have a ball park figure of how long it'll take to complete? [08:42] like 1-3hrs, 3-6hrs etc :P [08:42] i'm using 11.04 in a virtual machine with 512Mb RAM [08:42] and my applications using apache2, php5.3 and mysql are telling me "can't allocate memory" [08:42] why? [08:44] dori922: it depends on your bandwidth and your remote server's, but it will more than a pair of hours [08:45] and after that how much would the speed improve? :P [08:45] the time i told is for both reading and transfering [08:46] try to use -v switch to get more info [08:48] thanks :D [09:01] hello all [09:01] :D [09:14] morning koolhead11 [09:20] hey jamespage [09:30] zul: hey [09:31] hi [09:31] Guess what? - We might be able to install Linux! - My advert: "Linux is much faster, has better security, and scales much better than Windows OSs. Not to mention it have many more features and supporting much more software. Maintenace is also much easier, and upgrading/installing new software never requires a restart." [09:34] AlecTaylor: this channel is not for Linux PR [09:35] Daviey: hello [09:36] koolhead11: Why not? [09:36] koolhead11: Gave him this link: http://narendrapatel.com/2011/05/installing-ubuntu-serve-11-04-64bit-on-hyper-v/ [09:37] well am wrong in that case, that`s what i though all this while. [09:38] Hyper-V support was added by Micrsoft to Linux, right? [09:38] Hyper-V support was added by Microsoft to Linux, right? [09:40] AlecTaylor: Because it just isn't. I you want to advertise, do it somewhere else. [09:41] Hyper-V support was added by Microsoft to Linux, right? [09:42] AlecTaylor: They contributed some network drivers for some stuff at some point. It may have been for Hyper-V. [09:44] "contributed" makes it sound like they did it of the goodness of their hearts. They were obligated to do so due to licensing. [09:44] "Microsoft contributes network driver to Linux" just sounds much better than "Microsoft finally rectifies licensing violation". [09:44] AlecTaylor: why? [09:48] So quick question before I fuck off and go home: anybody used unbound with a stub-zone, whose stub-addr had a non-default port? [09:48] Like stub-addr: 127.0.0.1@1053 [09:49] I ask because I just tried that on lucid and everything worked perfectly with unbound on 1053 and dnsmasq on 53 (during testing), but when I swapped them around, unbound just returned SERVFAIL for the stub zone, without even TRYING to ask dnsmasq. [09:50] http://paste.debian.net/131544/ [09:50] howdy, I installed postfix+dovecot. I'm able to receive email but not send it. I got 250-starttls and 250-auth plain login when running telnet localhost 25, ehlo localhost. [09:51] monkd: start by looking in your /var/log/mail.log file to see why it's not sending mail. [09:52] greppy: [62.zz.yyy.xx]:25: No route to host [09:52] isp blocking my port 25? [09:52] well, that would be a problem. [09:53] could be, can you ping that IP address? [09:53] yes [09:53] Then yes, your ISP could be blocking outbound port 25 access as an anti spam measure. [09:53] Some ISPs will let you opt out of that [09:54] Otherwise you'll need to tell postfix to relay all mail via their smart server [09:54] but shouldn't the 587 line in my master.cf also open port 587 for sending mail? [09:54] and in my mail client I got host:587 as my smtp server? [09:56] but to send mail out, it's trying to connect to port 25, which is the default. [09:56] hmm.. so changing the relayhost in main.cf? [09:56] yeah, one sec. [09:57] monkd: relayhost = smtp.your.isp.whatever:25 [09:57] tried that. then I get a rcpt error [09:57] wait I'll check it [09:58] Relay access denied (in reply to RCPT TO command) [09:58] *blink* [09:59] relay denied by the relayhost server? [10:02] :$ [10:03] hi [10:03] mysql doesn't start after server reboot [10:03] no error messages, no logs, nothing [10:03] greppy: can I get my ISP's MX with dig MX isp?

[10:06] monkd: start poking around on their website to see what they recommend for outgoing mail settings, that is the server you want to use as your relayhost. [10:13] shits.. greppy, I know too little about this, I confed the relayhost as my own host. and that's why I got the relay access denied [10:13] so I have to know my isp's outgoing mail server for sending mail? [10:14] I thought it was possible to send mail directly from my server to anywhere [10:15] but it has to got through a relayhost? [10:16] monkd: if your ISP is blocking outbound port 25 except to their own host, then yes, you need to relay through them. [10:17] but isn't it possible to send via some other port for example 587? [10:21] i really was hoping to use ubuntu server. but i guess cpanel is going to force me to crapOS [10:23] monkd: 25 is the default port for servers to talk to each other. [10:23] not every mail server listens on other ports, or allows non-auth sending on other ports. [10:25] why am I able to send mail to myself then? is it because of the local network? [10:25] <\sh> monkd: don't forget that most IPs from Cable, DSL, Dial-In Networks are blocked/blacklisted by other ISPs smtp servers. [10:29] monkd: your server will accept mail for local accounts. [10:29] so what exactly does it mean when I try to send mail out I get No route to host error, even when I can ping that ip [10:30] from your server, try to telnet to port 25 of the ip that is saying there is no route to [10:33] yea, it doesn't work [10:34] bingo, need to set your relayhost to your ISPs outgoing mail server. :) [10:35] so if I do that. and get it to work. are my emails readable to my ISP? [10:35] Dead loop on virtual device bridge100 :( [10:37] Daviey: another one for today!! [10:37] monkd: they are sent through the server, so if they archive every mail that goes through them, then yes. [10:38] but they could read them anyway if they sniff the network. [10:38] ok I think I found the outgoing server. can I test that it is the one, without trying to conf the postfix and trying to send mail [10:38] telnet to port 25 of the server [10:38] see what it tells you. [10:39] 220 balbalba service ready [10:39] guess that's the one? [10:39] yup [10:40] hey koolhead11 [10:40] greppy: is it possible to encrypt the messages and receivers, so even if they do sniff around they can't "access" the data? [10:41] i have a had drive i suspect was pulled for failure. other than intstalling on it, and running a few smartctl passes, can anyone recomend a way to "test" the drive ? [10:41] monkd: you can encrypt the content using gnupg/pgp/s-mime, but the recipient needs to be know how to decrypt it. [10:42] Daviey: another bug for the day. i am filing it it has to do with bridge on one of the interfaces [10:44] ok [10:44] koolhead11: cool [10:45] koolhead11: Ok, start over. One step at a time.

Pastebin the whole thing. [10:48] and now I get mta.inet.fi no route to host [10:48] ok. [10:48] koolhead11: Also, start by explaining what the problem is. [10:48] koolhead11: All of this is debugging information. [10:48] WOOT - Finally have an Ubuntu Server to work with, Goodbye Windows Server 2003! [10:49] AlecTaylor: If you consider that an accomplishment, I'd be quite hesitant to offer consulting services helping other people install Ubuntu. [10:51] You don't become a mechanic by starting a car for the first time either. [10:51] I do. [10:52] Well, you're awesome. [10:52] :) [10:52] ;> [10:52] Most people need more training. [10:54] soren: http://paste.ubuntu.com/695041/ [10:55] koolhead11: Your eth0 config is invalid. [10:55] "netmask 255.255.0.0" and "network 192.168.1.0" are incompatible.

[10:57] 2 seconds ago they were in the same subnet. [10:57] eth0 is in 10.X.X.X [10:57] Nonsense. [10:57] address 192.168.1.5 [10:58] 2 seconds ago they were in the same subnet. [10:58] Now they're in overlapping subnets. [10:58] One containing the other. I don't even know how that can make sense. [10:59] monkd: what error did you get? [11:00] okey i will get back with all details in sometime. [11:01] koolhead11: But, as I said: This is all debugging information. [11:01] koolhead11: Start by explaining what the problem is. [11:01] soren: the network configuration are same we used when we tested cactus in natty. :) [11:02] koolhead11: I never asked for you network configuration. [11:02] koolhead11: ...but when you started handing it out, I asked for it to be true. [11:02] just after assigning the IP information when i boot my system i get error on boot screen saying " dead loop on virtual device br100, fix it urgently" [11:02] koolhead11: I probably don't care about it at all. [11:03] and notthing happens after that. [11:03] i put the relayhost = mail.inet.fi:25 in my main.cf and I have my own server name as smtp server in the mua. I tried to send mail and got: http://pastie.org/2573222 [11:04] to boot my system i have to remove that inteface information from my interfaces file while going in safe/single user mode [11:04] <\sh> monkd: you see that the IPs it resolves are different? .12 and .15? [11:05] <\sh> monkd: oh you send to mta.inet.fi (which is .12) and your isps mail server but is mail.inet.fi? [11:05] koolhead11: Ok, if this is what you want to talk about, I'm going to have to insist on your actual configuration. [11:06] koolhead11: Clearly, you've misconfigured something. If you're giving me anything other than your actual configuration, I can't (and won't) help you. [11:06] yeah, \sh mail.inet.fi is the mail server. I don't know when mta.inet.fi is coming to play.. that's a different isp I tried to send mail to.. [11:06] <\sh> monkd: looks like that mta.inet.fi is still your relayhost [11:07] <\sh> monkd: did you restart postfix after your changes to main.cf? [11:07] sure did [11:07] <\sh> monkd: but it's not what your logfile says..it still say: I'm sending to mta.inet.fi [11:07] soren: k [11:09] tried again. checked the main.cf -> relayhost = mail.inet.fi:25 [11:09] /etc/init.d/postfix restart [11:09] send mail [11:09] same error [11:09] complaining about mta.inet.fi [11:10] should mail.inet.fi be in mydestination too?

In the box, type: How do I install+setup ssh on Ubuntu Server 11.04? [11:23] AlecTaylor: Click the first link. [11:23] AlecTaylor: If you still need help, *then* come here and ask. [11:24] koolhead11: HAng on, how did you get to that config file? [11:25] koolhead11: You said you coulnd't boot because of it. [11:25] soren: i had to go in single user mode. and disable the eth1 intefrace entry. [11:26] So this is the config that works? [11:26] soren: i have to disable this entry of eth1 in order to get my system into normal boot [11:27] koolhead11: The configuration you've shared has no eth1 entry. [11:27] koolhead11: So if you're using http://paste.ubuntu.com/695054/ everything is fine? [11:27] soren: koolhead11 meant br100 [11:28] soren: the one mapped to eth1 [11:28] so only entry with eth0 the system works [11:28] now once am booted then manually i configure http://paste.ubuntu.com/695054/ [11:29] to get my bridge working via eth1 [11:29] Ok. So if you "sudo ifup br100" now, what happens? [11:30] soren: ifup br100 ifup: interface br100 already configured [11:30] because i manually added eht1 and br100 and then restarted the network [11:32] So this is only a problem on first boot? [11:32] New bug: #856309 in samba (main) "package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package samba is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed')" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/856309 [11:33] soren: yes whenever i boot. which means if i reboot my system with eth1 configuration i will again get the same "dead loop" error [11:33] and to overcome that i have to again boot in single user and remove the entry [11:33] ok.. [11:34] Is there anything else you think might be relevant that you've also not yet pointed out? [11:34] soren: Linux server1 3.0.0-11-generic #18-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 13 23:38:01 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [11:35] i have allready given the harware information [11:35] I meant about the problem. [11:36] soren: nope. next issue is with nova-network. [11:36] I don't want to spend another 20 minutes asking questions and then have you tell me that it also goes away if you take all the network cables out or something. [11:36] You say when it boots with this, it echoes this error "11:02 < soren> koolhead11: I probably don't care about it at all." [11:37] What does that mean, exactly? What are you expecting to happen that doesn't happen? [11:37] Whoops [11:37] That came out entirely wrong. [11:37] You say when it boots with this, it echoes this error "11:03 < koolhead11> and notthing happens after that." [11:38] What doesn't happen? What doesn't work? What makes you think it's frozen? [11:38] soren: it should normally boot when i have eth1 info configured on it, right? [11:38] A misconfigured network usually shoulnd't cause the system to freeze, no. [11:39] it throws error on boot " dead loop on virtual device br100, fix it immidiately" [11:39] that it [11:39] notthing happens after that [11:39] 11:38 < soren> What doesn't happen? What doesn't work? What makes you think it's frozen? [11:39] What did you expect to happen? [11:39] Why should anything "happen"? [11:40] soren: my system should normally boot and give my console screen :D [11:41] So you usually get a login prompt, but when this happens, you don't get a login prompt. [11:41] Is that accurate? [11:41] indeed [11:41] Did you check the other virtual consoles? [11:41] Did you check the logs to see if the system still is active during this time? [11:43] soren: there is no access to any of the consoles. the only message i get is :- [11:43] [28.500035] Dead loop on virtual bridge device br100 fix it immidiately" [11:43] it keeps coming on the screen [11:43] with [] value changing [11:44] .... [11:44] If it's frozen, how can it keep printing errors? [11:45] soren: as in am not able to do any operations on it :( [11:55] Daviey: yeah so ill backport the iscsitarget branch when it gets accepted [11:55] Hello! I have hired A VPS with Ubuntu server 10.4.3 lts installed on it. Can I use that VPS as a proxy for browsing the internet? [11:56] yes [11:56] you need to either install a proxy or vpn software on it then and configure your client to use that [11:57] Or just use ssh's SOCKS implementation. [11:58] soren: How can I do that please? [11:58] soren: Because it seems to be easier than installing a vpn software and configuring it. [11:58] true, I guess sshd is already installed, no need to look for something else [11:58] Syria: E.g. "ssh -D 1234 username@server" [11:59] Syria: Complete the login. [11:59] Syria: Tell your browser to use a SOCKSK proxy on localhost on port 1234. [11:59] soren: should i file it bug or leave it ? [11:59] Done. [11:59] koolhead11: I think you should file a bug about this. Don't waste time on the hardware specifics and whatnot. Just include the problem description. [11:59] Don't leave *Anythin* out of the problem description. [11:59] okey. done will do :) [12:00] Specify what happens, when it happens, what you expected to happen, etc. etc. [12:00] soren: and the nova-network issue is related to same i suppose [12:00] i will do [12:00] soren: can I know why 1234? [12:00] Syria: Because it's the first number that popped into my head. [12:00] soren: I will test this now it seems so easy! [12:01] Syria: You can use any number you please (provided it's between 1024 and 65535) [12:01] (inclusive) [12:01] soren: ssh -D 9050 [username]@[remote.server.name] should i use this example? [12:02] soren: !!! you gave me the same example. [12:02] :S i did not notice. [12:07] soren: It works!!! [12:07] soren: Thank you. [12:08] Sure [12:08] soren: How can i know if other users are doing this using the VPS? [12:09] Is it possible? [12:10] Syria: Depends on how badly you want to know. [12:10] soren: It is not that important. [12:11] soren: Thnx for everything. :D [12:12] Sure. [12:17] smoser: Are the images on http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/server/oneiric/current/ supposed to be usable in plain kvm? [12:18] yes. [12:18] they'll complain to the serial console that they can't find a meta-data service. [12:18]
