| Cul | Trying to set up NFS via https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo. getting errors I'm confused about could someone assist? | 12:52 |
| bioterror | you could pastebin errors | 12:52 |
| Cul | problem with that is it's on a media server with terminal access only and I don't know how to do it via command line... pastbin that is | 12:53 |
| hobgoblin | install pastebinit - then you can use that :) | 12:54 |
| Cul | ok, I'll give it a go, thks hobgoblin | 12:55 |
| hobgoblin | for instance sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit | 12:56 |
| Cul | fdisk command gives address, what do I do with that? | 12:59 |
| hobgoblin | that was just an example of how to use it - you'd paste the url of what you are trying to show people | 13:00 |
| hobgoblin | I've no idea of why you are here :p just got here | 13:01 |
| Cul | ahh, that makes sense... I'm trying to get assistance installing nfs and bioterror suggested I pastebin output for clarity | 13:01 |
| hobgoblin | right - well - run the command and then |pastebinit at the end should do :) | 13:02 |
| Cul | and then copy the address here.. right? | 13:03 |
| hobgoblin | yep - then we can look at that :) | 13:03 |
| Cul | right-o, one sec | 13:03 |
| hobgoblin | tbh it's easier than mucking about with browsers and paste.ubuntu.com most of the time | 13:03 |
| bioterror | or you can copy & paste it to pastebin | 13:03 |
| bioterror | as you want it | 13:04 |
| hobgoblin | not in a server environment | 13:04 |
| bioterror | you talk to servers thru ssh | 13:04 |
| bioterror | :-) | 13:04 |
| hobgoblin | voodoo | 13:05 |
| Cul | http://pastebin.com/QePqi0mA | 13:05 |
| Cul | hope that's right | 13:05 |
| hobgoblin | yep | 13:05 |
| bioterror | oh well | 13:05 |
| bioterror | your configuration lacks something | 13:05 |
| bioterror | hobgoblin is a guru with NFS | 13:05 |
| bioterror | I'm more into samba | 13:05 |
| hobgoblin | lol | 13:05 |
| hobgoblin | I gave up fiddling with nfs the other day and used samba | 13:06 |
| bioterror | hahaha | 13:06 |
| Cul | hmmm, there's more output that didn't paste... | 13:06 |
| hobgoblin | Cul: have you looked at the wiki page for it | 13:06 |
| Cul | I followed the help.ubuntu page for it | 13:07 |
| Cul | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo | 13:07 |
| hobgoblin | k - how far through it do you get - still trying to export stuff? | 13:08 |
| Cul | can I explain what I want to do and maybe you can tell me if this is the right way to go about it? | 13:08 |
| hobgoblin | go ahead | 13:08 |
| Cul | got to the export directories to local network and restart kernel server | 13:08 |
| Cul | ok, I've got xbmc on the other pc, and I want to be able to manipulate media files from my main pc | 13:09 |
| Cul | i.e. transfer from mass storage and such | 13:10 |
| hobgoblin | I understand - but bioterror was joking when he said I was a nfs guru | 13:10 |
| bioterror | Cul, I use samba | 13:10 |
| Cul | that's ok, you're still better at it than I am :) | 13:11 |
| bioterror | it's 10 times easier and prosentually as fast as nfs | 13:11 |
| Cul | ok then do I need to undo what i have already done then? | 13:11 |
| hobgoblin | comment out the change you made to /etc/export | 13:11 |
| hobgoblin | then sudo exportfs -ra again | 13:12 |
| Cul | ok, pretty much same output | 13:13 |
| hobgoblin | should stop it trying to export it - then I'd undo the installs - but you might find this easier to follow than the wiki - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249889 | 13:13 |
| hobgoblin | which would suggest the exports file was wrong :) | 13:13 |
| hobgoblin | gtg | 13:14 |
| Cul | tc | 13:14 |
| Cul | what about undoing changes to /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server, /etc/default/nfs-common and /etc/exports. or will that undo when I undo the installs? | 13:16 |
| hobgoblin | should be ok to apt-get purge them | 13:20 |
| MrChrisDruif | Ahh, that is something I'd like to set up on my server ^_^ | 13:21 |
| Cul | purging the kernel server won't break my xbmc will it? | 13:24 |
| Cul | the nfs kernel server that is | 13:24 |
| bioterror | xbmc has nothing to do with NFS | 13:25 |
| bioterror | except it can read the mounts | 13:25 |
| Cul | ok, just wanted to make sure... I'm at the user lever where i know just enough to be dangerous :) | 13:26 |
| bioterror | then we have to remove sudo from you! ;) | 13:27 |
| Cul | ok, I gtg. I'll run through the other tut later and be back when I botch things up! ;) | 13:28 |
| Cul | sudo is my nemesis | 13:28 |
| Cul | tc all see ya later | 13:28 |

| thewrath | hello all | 16:55 |
| thewrath | a none Ubuntu question | 16:55 |
| thewrath | is there any good free web based requirement management software that you would recommend? | 16:55 |
| MrChrisDruif | Requirement management software? What do you mean thewrath ? Something like apt? | 16:57 |
| thewrath | MrChrisDruif: so i can track requirements | 16:58 |
| MrChrisDruif | Requirements or dependencies? | 17:01 |
| thewrath | requirements | 17:01 |
| thewrath | the system must do this | 17:01 |
| thewrath | the sysem shoudl allow this | 17:01 |
| thewrath | at work we call these requirements | 17:01 |
| MrChrisDruif | Ah, I think I understand what you mean, but I don't think that is available | 17:02 |
| thewrath | darn | 17:03 |
| MrChrisDruif | But I haven't scoured the web | 17:04 |
| thewrath | what about dependencies | 17:04 |
| MrChrisDruif | Ubuntu has recently made the Software Center online available and on debian you can also search for packages and see there deps etc... | 17:06 |
| thewrath | well i am creating a web app and i want to track it for my own project | 17:06 |
| MrChrisDruif | You could use apt for retrieving all that info afaik | 17:07 |
| thewrath | my app is a web application not something you install in ubuntu | 17:07 |
| MrChrisDruif | But is that web app not run on a system like Ubuntu? | 17:09 |
| thewrath | it could | 17:09 |
| thewrath | but i would not install it through apt-get install | 17:09 |
| MrChrisDruif | No, that's not what I mean | 17:11 |
| MrChrisDruif | Ever heard of apt-cache search? | 17:12 |
| === cul_away is now known as Cul | ||
| Cul | Hello all, was here this morning trying to set up NFS between an xbmc and my everyday box, both running 10.04. a couple helpful chaps pointed me to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249889 so I did as instructed... | 19:20 |
| Cul | now i'm getting mount failed: RPC Error: Program not regisered | 19:21 |
| stlsaint | Cul: sorry i am unaware of uses on xbmc | 19:22 |
| holstein | see if http://www.prasannatech.net/2008/07/nfs-troubleshooting-rpc-error-program.html is helpful Cul | 19:22 |
| Cul | from what I understand the xbmc part is moot. I'm merely wanting to share the folders that store the media which is part of 10.04 | 19:23 |
| Cul | I was just giving that for info on what I was trying to accomplish | 19:23 |
| holstein | Cul: if i had to linux boxes, i would do ssh shares | 19:23 |
| Cul | so I've got 3 ppl offering 3 points of advice (I am grateful for the help) I just want to set up the simplest sharing between, primarily these 2, as well as another 2 down the road. :) | 19:26 |
| holstein | sure.. ssh is the arguably the simplest.. if you want to troubleshoot the error you are getting, try that link i gave, and let me know | 19:26 |
| Cul | I'm halfway through the tut on nfs and it's not working. Righto Holstein, I'll give it a look and be back in a few. thks | 19:27 |
| Cul | holstein: the link talks about the 'dfstab' can I assume that that is the solaris equiv of my fstab or am I going to edit the wrong file | 19:37 |
| holstein | Cul: not sure.. its more of a starting point.. | 19:37 |
| Cul | ahh, I see | 19:38 |
| holstein | i exclusively do ssh, since i can make windows share to it, and its literally as easy as install openssh server, and use | 19:38 |
| Cul | ya know.. that sounds like a winner to me.. purge out nfs kernel and maybe you can hold my hand through ssh :) | 19:40 |
| holstein | Cul: sure, but theres no need.. let me get the wiki link and you can just try it real quick... | 19:41 |
| Cul | I like your optimism.. | 19:41 |
| holstein | for example... i install to a machine with the IP address 192.168.0.10... i run sudo apt-get install openssh-server on that machine.. and i run on the client machine "ssh 192.168.0.10"... assuming the user names are the same | 19:43 |
| holstein | there are options for mounting persistently or whatever | 19:43 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html | 19:43 |
| Cul | no, they're not the same.. and thre is no client install for the ssh? | 19:43 |
| holstein | Cul: the clients are typically included already | 19:44 |
| Cul | ok | 19:44 |
| holstein | you can run "ssh username@IPaddress" | 19:44 |
| holstein | depending on your network, you can use the hostname instead of IP | 19:44 |
| holstein | Cul: in gnome2, in ubuntu 10.04, there is a 'connect' menu item | 19:46 |
| holstein | you can use that to connect to ssh shares... ftp, whatever | 19:46 |
| holstein | i like the gigolo package too | 19:46 |
| kristian-aalborg | anyone care to look at a wireshark log? | 19:46 |
| kristian-aalborg | http://kristian.users.anapnea.net/wslog2.txt | 19:47 |
| Cul | ok, I got connection refused... apparently I need to open a port on my router? | 19:47 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: o/ ...ill look.. not sure what ill make of it | 19:47 |
| holstein | Cul: ? | 19:47 |
| kristian-aalborg | holstein, TY... it's rather big FYI | 19:47 |
| holstein | i didnt realize this was over the internet... that'll make all sharing more 'complex' | 19:47 |
| Cul | ssh 192.168.1.9 port 22 connection refused | 19:47 |
| Cul | no, it should be lan | 19:48 |
| holstein | Cul: if you didnt install any firewalls, it should just work | 19:48 |
| holstein | no need to fool with the router | 19:48 |
| Cul | ok then what's my damage here then? | 19:48 |
| holstein | Cul: run this on the server machine sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 19:49 |
| holstein | then run... ssh localhost | 19:49 |
| holstein | on the server | 19:49 |
| holstein | see if you 'get in' | 19:49 |
| Cul | hold on.. I got my lan ip's switched | 19:49 |
| Cul | one sec | 19:49 |
| holstein | yup... assuming the server is running, and you have the IP's correct, and the usernames and passwords... it'll just work | 19:50 |
| Cul | ahh, now I get authenticity of host can't be established... rsa key fingerprint.... are you sure you wanna connect? y/n | 19:50 |
| holstein | say yes | 19:51 |
| holstein | you can trust yourself ;) | 19:51 |
| Cul | hehe, not always | 19:51 |
| Cul | now it's asking for my user from this box@ip password.. this user is not on the other box.. is that an issue or no? | 19:52 |
| Cul | apparently it is... it closed my connection | 19:52 |
| holstein | Cul: you'll need the user name and passwork on the server | 19:53 |
| holstein | say, the user is user, and the pass is pass on the server... you are at the client | 19:53 |
| holstein | ssh user@ipaddy | 19:53 |
| holstein | then, you'll be prompted for the password of that user on the server | 19:53 |
| Cul | hmmm, making more and more sense as we go... lemme shoot again. | 19:54 |
| Cul | ok, great.. i'm in.. unfortunately (nothing against you, that was brilliant) how do I do it graphically... I'm not quite uber enough on terminal yet to do all the file transferring I need to do.. :) | 19:56 |
| Cul | you said there was a connect somethingorother from maybe the filemanager? | 19:56 |
| holstein | Cul: i like gigolo | 19:58 |
| holstein | but in 10.04, theres a menu item | 19:58 |
| holstein | 'connect to server' | 19:58 |
| holstein | Cul: under 'places' | 19:59 |
| Cul | right, I'm all over it like a cheap rug.. | 19:59 |
| holstein | select ssh, and put in your particulars, and you'll see it mount | 19:59 |
| Cul | sweet, so now it's all drag and drop from here right? thanks a bunh | 19:59 |
| Cul | bunch | 19:59 |
| holstein | you can explore making that persistent, though i havent needed to | 19:59 |
| Cul | seems easy enough just to mount | 20:00 |
| holstein | Cul: yup... its too easy for me to bother with samba or anything else anymore | 20:00 |
| holstein | and the security benifits... | 20:00 |
| Cul | to listen to the help on ubuntu site, nfs is supposed to be that easy too.. and samba and... blah, that was a piece of cake | 20:01 |
| Cul | exactly what i needed. thanks again | 20:01 |
| holstein | Cul: i can only speak from experience.. if i were to take a fork in the eye, or set up samba.... hmmm... | 20:02 |
| Cul | so just real quick, how does this work to ssh to window.. I will have the occasional windows brick to share to from..? | 20:02 |
| holstein | i use http://www.swish-sftp.org/ | 20:03 |
| Cul | sweet, I'll check it out... .gtg for now | 20:04 |
| holstein | Cul: enjoy! | 20:06 |

| AlexForce22 | Hello good afternoon every one.. | 21:43 |
| AlexForce22 | Am tryin to see if i can get some advance knowledge about Apache server, anyone can guide me in the right direction | 21:44 |
| holstein | AlexForce22: i mean, other than pointing you to a wiki or manpage, you'd need to elaborate as to what you need/want | 21:46 |
| AlexForce22 | Ok, I am interested in learning about Apache server | 21:47 |
| AlexForce22 | am interested in developing a business Idea, | 21:47 |
| AlexForce22 | and I took my time in learning FOSS technologies over the years, now am interested in going to the Server side, ie. Advanced... | 21:48 |
| holstein | i used to run http://www.turnkeylinux.org/ instances in Vbox, or from live CD's to test/learn | 21:49 |
| holstein | there are all kinds of drop in wordpress, ruby.. whatever | 21:49 |
| holstein | just LAMP | 21:49 |
| AlexForce22 | Well am for LAMP | 21:49 |
| AlexForce22 | thats wat i study.. | 21:50 |
| AlexForce22 | what am interested in is: 1. Optimisation for APACHE. 2. Documentation about apapche on a large scale, ideas, tools, 3. Even hardware preference for large scale is an asset | 21:51 |
| holstein | maybe they have a channel.. you can try #ubuntu-server | 21:53 |
| holstein | i have heard there is better than apache for large scale.... but i dont remember what the alternatives were | 21:54 |
| holstein | what they were called rather... i heard about them on the techsnap podcast if memory serves | 21:55 |
| AlexForce22 | ok | 22:08 |
| AlexForce22 | so the name of the site is techsnap | 22:09 |
| holstein | AlexForce22: the site i linked is called turnkey | 22:12 |
| holstein | the podcast i mentioned is called techsnap | 22:13 |
| AlexForce22 | ok | 22:13 |
| holstein | http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/show/techsnap/ | 22:13 |
| holstein | but, you can probably find information just seaching for apache alternatives and asking about them | 22:14 |
| holstein | though, it is still a standard, so learning about it wont hurt | 22:14 |
| AlexForce22 | ok | 22:14 |
| AlexForce22 | thanks | 22:14 |
