| Kilos | good morning inetpro and how is goosie today | 07:19 |
| inetpro | heh, looks like we have some cell divisions taking place today | 07:19 |
| Guest22249 | hey, I need help please... I have an apt-mirror server which has updated now, with the normal things and debian-installer, running 11.10. I want to net install my computers on the network using a USB, everything work 100%, but there is no ubuntu desktop, i have to ssh in and tasksel multiselect ubuntu-dekstop. How do i get it to install ubuntu desktop? currently using kickstart and preseed together, but it does not install ubuntu desktop. my prese | 07:20 |
| Guest22249 | ed.cfg tells it to install ubuntu-desktop | 07:20 |
| inetpro | hmm... | 07:22 |
| === Guest22249 is now known as armand-jhb | ||
| inetpro | been a long time since I did a net install, never did it on Ubuntu before | 07:22 |
| inetpro | those were the redhat days before fedora | 07:22 |
| armand-jhb | can i swear? Thats how bad it is | 07:22 |
| Kilos | does one have terminal access | 07:22 |
| armand-jhb | unfortunately not | 07:23 |
| inetpro | armand-jhb: I guess google is your friend | 07:24 |
| armand-jhb | the whole installation happens, but just not ubuntu-desktop, in ky kickstart file i told it to install ssh-server... so at the end i have to ssh in and tasksel ubuntu-desktop | 07:24 |
| * inetpro sadly can't help searching and spending time on it now even if it sounds like an interesting exercise | 07:24 | |
| armand-jhb | i tried that.... my last resort was here | 07:24 |
| armand-jhb | it is quite useful, but hell! Its allot of making sure of things, moving this editing that an all of that | 07:25 |
| Kilos | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-gui-on-ubuntu-11-04-natty-server.html | 07:25 |
| Kilos | can that help you armand-jhb | 07:26 |
| Kilos | inetpro, dont you get cli one servers? | 07:27 |
| armand-jhb | in other tutorials they said to use @ ubuntu-desktop, but just going to try ubuntu-desktop in my ks file | 07:29 |
| armand-jhb | kickstart fiel | 07:29 |
| Kilos | i know nothing about servers but without a terminal have no idea how one can do anything | 07:30 |
| inetpro | armand-jhb: when you figured it out please give us a short summary on how you did it | 07:30 |
| armand-jhb | will do | 07:30 |
| * inetpro unfortunately has some work to do | 07:31 | |
| armand-jhb | cool | 07:31 |
| nlsthzn | oohh... freenode got ddos'ed silly script kiddies | 07:33 |

| Kilos | lo nuvolari | 07:35 |
| nuvolari | lo oom Kilos | 07:35 |
| superfly | armand-jhb: there 's an ubuntu-desktop package... if you can set your kickstart script to install ssh-server, why can't you tell it to install ubuntu-desktop? | 07:36 |

| Kilos | wb nlsthzn | 07:43 |
| Kilos | hi abantu | 07:44 |
| nlsthzn_ | I wonder if it is netsplits or my connection causing me to be on and off :/ | 07:47 |
| Kilos | christel said there are attacks nlsthzn | 07:48 |
| Kilos | didnt you see the message | 07:48 |
| Tonberry | silly scriptkitties | 07:48 |
| superfly__ | eish | 07:50 |
| Kilos | hi tnt | 07:50 |
| nlsthzn_ | I saw the message, was wondering if that was my reason for issues | 07:50 |
| Kilos | things bad again today superfly__ | 07:50 |
| Kilos | with a tail | 07:51 |
| superfly__ | yeah, look at my tail! | 07:51 |
| Kilos | yeah nlsthzn when they have them dos attacks everything crashes | 07:51 |
| * nlsthzn_ will be offline then until the script kiddies are nuked... | 07:51 | |
| Kilos | oh my he missed that | 07:51 |
| inetpro_ | eish | 07:51 |
| === inetpro_ is now known as inetpro | ||
| Kilos | hehe at least i dont get tailed then i would have to look in notes to see how to fix it | 07:52 |
| Kilos | all that ghost stuff | 07:53 |
| inetpro | Kilos: you don't like ghost stories? | 07:54 |
| Kilos | ha ha ha | 07:54 |
| Kilos | no man its the effort trying to find where i wrote down how to fix it | 07:55 |
| Kilos | easier to go off and wait for timeout | 07:55 |
| Kilos | 245secs | 07:55 |
| armand-jhb | see, i can do that.... thanks, but i thought only tasksel can do that....... | 07:58 |
| Kilos | question when mavericks support ends in 2 months does that mean one can no longer do sudo apt-get update for a new install | 07:58 |
| Kilos | thats the important part | 08:01 |
| Kilos | if everything is rsynced | 08:01 |
| superfly__ | armand-jhb: tasksel is for "tasks" - but tasks are not packages. fortunately there seems to be an "ssh-server" package, and I know there's an ubuntu-desktop package | 08:24 |
| === superfly__ is now known as superfly | ||
| armand-jhb | it worked! just finished it now | 08:24 |
| armand-jhb | anyone want the specs of what the little trip was.... i can give you my documentation.... | 08:25 |
| superfly | armand-jhb: have you got a blog? | 08:25 |
| superfly | blogs are great for stuff like that | 08:25 |
| armand-jhb | no... i dont.... but maybe i should try invest in that.... | 08:26 |
| armand-jhb | hehehehe | 08:26 |

| Kilos | hi drubin you well? | 17:37 |
| zeref | it's friday :-) :-) :-) :-) | 17:46 |
| kbmonkey | tgif! | 17:48 |
| Kilos | yo kbmonkey you poegaai lad | 17:54 |
| Kilos | is it hard laying macadam | 17:55 |
| kbmonkey | Kilos! | 17:56 |
| kbmonkey | why? are laying roads Kilos? :) | 17:56 |
| Kilos | you said thats what you gonna be doing man | 17:57 |
| Kilos | got 2 more that wanna join lpi | 17:57 |
| kbmonkey | good! :) | 17:57 |
| kbmonkey | I wil need the weekend to catch up with the work | 17:58 |
| Kilos | that section 101 is 5 mins for you guys | 17:58 |
| Kilos | but i still doff, are you starting with a clean hdd and a centos live cd | 17:59 |
| Kilos | because there lots on partitioning and that comes before installing | 17:59 |
| kbmonkey | kvm, it runs a virtual computer in a window. I use that | 18:01 |
| kbmonkey | it thinks it's a computer, but its really not. it doesn't know, he he | 18:01 |
| Kilos | hehe | 18:02 |
| kbmonkey | and you? | 18:02 |
| Kilos | do you understand what i am trying to say | 18:02 |
| kbmonkey | yes, that we need to partition disks | 18:03 |
| Kilos | and me what? | 18:03 |
| Kilos | ya this course is aimed at someone already using linux and then teaching how to fix another one | 18:04 |
| Kilos | doesnt centos have a live cd that does the partitioning part and gives you the option to make your own | 18:05 |
| kbmonkey | do you have a spare pc/drive/something to test the partitioning? | 18:05 |
| Kilos | have the p3 and/or can use its 6g drive as a second drive here | 18:06 |
| Kilos | but that drive hass xp on so i can find smses on my usb modem | 18:07 |
| kbmonkey | well, what are you going to partition? a spare drive? | 18:07 |
| kbmonkey | because if you partition your current drive, you will lose all your data! | 18:07 |
| Kilos | lol my drive i parted to /, /boot, /home and /storage | 18:08 |
| Kilos | but from the live cd not cli | 18:08 |
| kbmonkey | yes centos uses a text installer. it has a 'live' mode, but you install through a text mode | 18:09 |
| Kilos | aha | 18:10 |
| kbmonkey | its not any harder as the GUI, the steps are quite clear and understandable | 18:10 |
| Kilos | now i getting to savvy | 18:10 |
| kbmonkey | i wonder how large the kvm is | 18:10 |
| Kilos | yes they look pretty basic cli usage | 18:10 |
| kbmonkey | i know virtualbox is quite big | 18:10 |
| kbmonkey | hey, I think you can even install it onto a usb drive, like it was a hard drive. | 18:11 |
| kbmonkey | must find out... | 18:11 |
| Kilos | my pc dont run virtual, tried and it didnt work and the fly said its too slow | 18:11 |
| kbmonkey | a P3? hmm, thats not too bad | 18:11 |
| Kilos | then i will have to run those commands from live cd | 18:12 |
| Kilos | in cli | 18:12 |
| kbmonkey | mine was also slow. | 18:13 |
| Kilos | but i member i had to mount the drive from livecd once | 18:13 |
| kbmonkey | I enabled sometthing to fix it | 18:13 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:13 |
| Kilos | and you need lotsa ram to virtual | 18:14 |
| kbmonkey | how much do you have? | 18:14 |
| Kilos | 640m | 18:15 |
| kbmonkey | tight | 18:18 |
| kbmonkey | the 6G has XP you say. I take you use it as well | 18:19 |
| Kilos | yeah it wouldnt open the virtual drive | 18:19 |
| Kilos | no its just to check smses on the modem so they dont subscribe me again and steal my airtime | 18:20 |
| Kilos | i also use the 6g drive to test other releases | 18:21 |
| kbmonkey | so if you can check your sms's without XP, you won't need it? | 18:21 |
| Kilos | yeah | 18:21 |
| kbmonkey | I check and load my sim airtime. must be a way to read texts too. | 18:21 |
| Kilos | i dunno how to read whats on the modem with ubuntu | 18:22 |
| Kilos | i can see the storage but cant open it | 18:22 |
| kbmonkey | maybe some programmetjie can read the text for you | 18:23 |
| Kilos | if i go places then computer i see the storage | 18:23 |
| Kilos | you missed the new guy here today | 18:23 |
| Kilos | he been doing linux 7 months | 18:24 |
| Kilos | he is joining lpi | 18:24 |
| Kilos | quite a clever kid | 18:25 |
| kbmonkey | ah, you are now a mentor then! he he ;D | 18:26 |
| Kilos | lol no man i just collect them you gotta teach them | 18:27 |
| Kilos | here is his blog of what he did today | 18:27 |
| Kilos | armandeg.blogspot.com | 18:27 |
| Kilos | he had a prob with a server | 18:27 |
| Kilos | he didnt even have a blog, the fly got him to start one | 18:28 |
| kbmonkey | its a good way to jot down what you learn | 18:32 |
| Kilos | what kinda tool will read a usb modems storage area | 18:33 |
| Kilos | tried text editor file goodie etc | 18:33 |
| kbmonkey | I suspect to read that data you need a program | 18:34 |
| Kilos | wait i ask maaz | 18:34 |
| Kilos | he dunno gives windows links but the modem installs on windows | 18:35 |
| kbmonkey | that issues special commands to get the data out | 18:35 |
| Kilos | i wonder if i can install the modem on wine | 18:37 |
| Kilos | but wine crashed me once so i purged it | 18:38 |
| kbmonkey | found something | 18:38 |
| kbmonkey | no dont do wine | 18:38 |
| Kilos | ah | 18:38 |
| kbmonkey | wine is good to interpret software, but not that good the interface hardware | 18:38 |
| kbmonkey | http://www.techytalk.info/send-receive-sms-using-gsm-modem-phone-ubuntu/ | 18:41 |
| Kilos | sec i go see | 18:41 |
| Kilos | will try that morrow. i have had gammu and wammu before but my modem is an arab modem so didnt get it working that way | 18:47 |
| Kilos | maybe this time i will find it in their modem refs | 18:47 |
| kbmonkey | looking at those connection strings, you can try some of the common ones | 18:50 |
| kbmonkey | also try find what hardware it is | 18:50 |
| kbmonkey | for example, vodacome modems are not made by them. huawei makes them and vodacom just rebrands them. -- for example | 18:51 |
| kbmonkey | perhaps a lsusb -v will give details on the hardware | 18:51 |
| Kilos | it is a alcatel modem with stc the provider | 18:52 |
| Kilos | holy moly all that in that little modem | 18:56 |
| Kilos | http://slexy.org/view/s21QTFKNcq | 18:57 |
| kbmonkey | there is alcatel in that phone list | 19:05 |
| Kilos | kbmonkey, dont worry bout this, you had a long day/week. rest | 19:05 |
| kbmonkey | well im going now anyway :) | 19:06 |
| kbmonkey | being summoned | 19:06 |
