[00:59] hello all === PabloRubianes_ is now known as PabloRubianes === Zerxes is now known as zkriesse === amithkk is now known as arduino-amithd === arduino-amithd is now known as amithkk [12:52] Trying to set up NFS via https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo. getting errors I'm confused about could someone assist? [12:52] you could pastebin errors [12:53] 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 [12:54] install pastebinit - then you can use that :) [12:55] ok, I'll give it a go, thks hobgoblin [12:56] for instance sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit [12:59] fdisk command gives address, what do I do with that? [13:00] that was just an example of how to use it - you'd paste the url of what you are trying to show people [13:01] I've no idea of why you are here :p just got here [13:01] ahh, that makes sense... I'm trying to get assistance installing nfs and bioterror suggested I pastebin output for clarity [13:02] right - well - run the command and then |pastebinit at the end should do :) [13:03] and then copy the address here.. right? [13:03] yep - then we can look at that :) [13:03] right-o, one sec [13:03] tbh it's easier than mucking about with browsers and paste.ubuntu.com most of the time [13:03] or you can copy & paste it to pastebin [13:04] as you want it [13:04] not in a server environment [13:04] you talk to servers thru ssh [13:04] :-) [13:05] voodoo [13:05] http://pastebin.com/QePqi0mA [13:05] hope that's right [13:05] yep [13:05] oh well [13:05] your configuration lacks something [13:05] hobgoblin is a guru with NFS [13:05] I'm more into samba [13:05] lol [13:06] I gave up fiddling with nfs the other day and used samba [13:06] hahaha [13:06] hmmm, there's more output that didn't paste... [13:06] Cul: have you looked at the wiki page for it [13:07] I followed the help.ubuntu page for it [13:07] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [13:08] k - how far through it do you get - still trying to export stuff? [13:08] 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] go ahead [13:08] got to the export directories to local network and restart kernel server [13:09] ok, I've got xbmc on the other pc, and I want to be able to manipulate media files from my main pc [13:10] i.e. transfer from mass storage and such [13:10] I understand - but bioterror was joking when he said I was a nfs guru [13:10] Cul, I use samba [13:11] that's ok, you're still better at it than I am :) [13:11] it's 10 times easier and prosentually as fast as nfs [13:11] ok then do I need to undo what i have already done then? [13:11] comment out the change you made to /etc/export [13:12] then sudo exportfs -ra again [13:13] ok, pretty much same output [13:13] 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] which would suggest the exports file was wrong :) [13:14] gtg [13:14] tc [13:16] 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? [13:20] should be ok to apt-get purge them [13:21] Ahh, that is something I'd like to set up on my server ^_^ [13:24] purging the kernel server won't break my xbmc will it? [13:24] the nfs kernel server that is [13:25] xbmc has nothing to do with NFS [13:25] except it can read the mounts [13:26] ok, just wanted to make sure... I'm at the user lever where i know just enough to be dangerous :) [13:27] then we have to remove sudo from you! ;) [13:28] ok, I gtg. I'll run through the other tut later and be back when I botch things up! ;) [13:28] sudo is my nemesis [13:28] tc all see ya later === Cul is now known as cul_away [13:28] bioterror; +1 [16:55] hello all [16:55] a none Ubuntu question [16:55] is there any good free web based requirement management software that you would recommend? [16:57] Requirement management software? What do you mean thewrath ? Something like apt? [16:58] MrChrisDruif: so i can track requirements [17:01] Requirements or dependencies? [17:01] requirements [17:01] the system must do this [17:01] the sysem shoudl allow this [17:01] at work we call these requirements [17:02] Ah, I think I understand what you mean, but I don't think that is available [17:03] darn [17:04] But I haven't scoured the web [17:04] what about dependencies [17:06] 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] well i am creating a web app and i want to track it for my own project [17:07] You could use apt for retrieving all that info afaik [17:07] my app is a web application not something you install in ubuntu [17:09] But is that web app not run on a system like Ubuntu? [17:09] it could [17:09] but i would not install it through apt-get install [17:11] No, that's not what I mean [17:12] Ever heard of apt-cache search? === cul_away is now known as Cul [19:20] 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... [19:21] now i'm getting mount failed: RPC Error: Program not regisered [19:22] Cul: sorry i am unaware of uses on xbmc [19:22] see if http://www.prasannatech.net/2008/07/nfs-troubleshooting-rpc-error-program.html is helpful Cul [19:23] 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] I was just giving that for info on what I was trying to accomplish [19:23] Cul: if i had to linux boxes, i would do ssh shares [19:26] 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] 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 [19:27] 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 [19:37] 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] Cul: not sure.. its more of a starting point.. [19:38] ahh, I see [19:38] i exclusively do ssh, since i can make windows share to it, and its literally as easy as install openssh server, and use [19:40] ya know.. that sounds like a winner to me.. purge out nfs kernel and maybe you can hold my hand through ssh :) [19:41] Cul: sure, but theres no need.. let me get the wiki link and you can just try it real quick... [19:41] I like your optimism.. [19:43] 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] there are options for mounting persistently or whatever [19:43] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html [19:43] no, they're not the same.. and thre is no client install for the ssh? [19:44] Cul: the clients are typically included already [19:44] ok [19:44] you can run "ssh username@IPaddress" [19:44] depending on your network, you can use the hostname instead of IP [19:46] Cul: in gnome2, in ubuntu 10.04, there is a 'connect' menu item [19:46] you can use that to connect to ssh shares... ftp, whatever [19:46] i like the gigolo package too [19:46] anyone care to look at a wireshark log? [19:47] http://kristian.users.anapnea.net/wslog2.txt [19:47] ok, I got connection refused... apparently I need to open a port on my router? [19:47] kristian-aalborg: o/ ...ill look.. not sure what ill make of it [19:47] Cul: ? [19:47] holstein, TY... it's rather big FYI [19:47] i didnt realize this was over the internet... that'll make all sharing more 'complex' [19:47] ssh 192.168.1.9 port 22 connection refused [19:48] no, it should be lan [19:48] Cul: if you didnt install any firewalls, it should just work [19:48] no need to fool with the router [19:48] ok then what's my damage here then? [19:49] Cul: run this on the server machine sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [19:49] then run... ssh localhost [19:49] on the server [19:49] see if you 'get in' [19:49] hold on.. I got my lan ip's switched [19:49] one sec [19:50] yup... assuming the server is running, and you have the IP's correct, and the usernames and passwords... it'll just work [19:50] ahh, now I get authenticity of host can't be established... rsa key fingerprint.... are you sure you wanna connect? y/n [19:51] say yes [19:51] you can trust yourself ;) [19:51] hehe, not always [19:52] 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] apparently it is... it closed my connection [19:53] Cul: you'll need the user name and passwork on the server [19:53] say, the user is user, and the pass is pass on the server... you are at the client [19:53] ssh user@ipaddy [19:53] then, you'll be prompted for the password of that user on the server [19:54] hmmm, making more and more sense as we go... lemme shoot again. [19:56] 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] you said there was a connect somethingorother from maybe the filemanager? [19:58] Cul: i like gigolo [19:58] but in 10.04, theres a menu item [19:58] 'connect to server' [19:59] Cul: under 'places' [19:59] right, I'm all over it like a cheap rug.. [19:59] select ssh, and put in your particulars, and you'll see it mount [19:59] sweet, so now it's all drag and drop from here right? thanks a bunh [19:59] bunch [19:59] you can explore making that persistent, though i havent needed to [20:00] seems easy enough just to mount [20:00] Cul: yup... its too easy for me to bother with samba or anything else anymore [20:00] and the security benifits... [20:01] 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] exactly what i needed. thanks again [20:02] Cul: i can only speak from experience.. if i were to take a fork in the eye, or set up samba.... hmmm... [20:02] so just real quick, how does this work to ssh to window.. I will have the occasional windows brick to share to from..? [20:03] i use http://www.swish-sftp.org/ [20:04] sweet, I'll check it out... .gtg for now [20:06] Cul: enjoy! === Cul is now known as cul_away === yofel_ is now known as yofel [21:43] Hello good afternoon every one.. [21:44] Am tryin to see if i can get some advance knowledge about Apache server, anyone can guide me in the right direction [21:46] AlexForce22: i mean, other than pointing you to a wiki or manpage, you'd need to elaborate as to what you need/want [21:47] Ok, I am interested in learning about Apache server [21:47] am interested in developing a business Idea, [21:48] and I took my time in learning FOSS technologies over the years, now am interested in going to the Server side, ie. Advanced... [21:49] i used to run http://www.turnkeylinux.org/ instances in Vbox, or from live CD's to test/learn [21:49] there are all kinds of drop in wordpress, ruby.. whatever [21:49] just LAMP [21:49] Well am for LAMP [21:50] thats wat i study.. [21:51] 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 [21:53] maybe they have a channel.. you can try #ubuntu-server [21:54] i have heard there is better than apache for large scale.... but i dont remember what the alternatives were [21:55] what they were called rather... i heard about them on the techsnap podcast if memory serves [22:08] ok [22:09] so the name of the site is techsnap [22:12] AlexForce22: the site i linked is called turnkey [22:13] the podcast i mentioned is called techsnap [22:13] ok [22:13] http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/show/techsnap/ [22:14] but, you can probably find information just seaching for apache alternatives and asking about them [22:14] though, it is still a standard, so learning about it wont hurt [22:14] ok [22:14] thanks [23:43] hello all [23:45] Hi thewrath [23:45] hwo r u [23:46] Fine thanks [23:46] Yourself?
