superflymagespawn: You could always boot to a CD or USB stick, chroot, and then rerun grub's setup06:54
superflyohi yusuf07:01
yusufhi ya superfly07:01
superflyhaven't seen you around for a while07:01
yusufit's been a looooooooooooooooong time07:01
superfly:-)07:01
yusufmaybe a few years, I wonder07:02
yusufits just that I hit a brick wall and I remembered a place to shout for help07:02
yusufHaving some problems with ubuntu server with two nics07:04
superflyuhuh07:05
yusufeth0 10.60.40.200/24 and eth1 192.168.1.11307:05
yusufboth dhcp07:05
yusufis it possible to route between the two?07:06
superflyyup07:06
superflywhat do you want to route?07:06
yusuffor example i want 10.60.40.70 to be able to browse the webserver on 192.168.1.10007:07
superflyroute add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.11307:08
superflybut what you probably want to do is use the ifup hooks to run that07:08
yusufon the router 10.60.40.2 I have a static route to 10.60.40.1007:08
superflyraoul@resistor:/etc/network/if-up.d07:09
yusufubuntu server is not my router07:09
superflyurg, not my whole prompt07:09
superflyyusuf: you asked if you can route between the two nics, I told you how07:09
superflyyusuf: if your router is external to your server, how is it supposed to route stuff on the server?07:10
yusufsuperfly: i thought setting a static route on the server pointing to 10.60.40.200 should solve that07:11
yusufsorry static route on the Dlink router07:11
yusuflets explain a little better, office block 1 (D-link router with 12 clients)07:12
yusufoffice block 3 (billion router 192.168.1.0)07:13
yusufoffice 2 (using a switch connecting from office 1 - so same network)07:14
yusufserver in office 2 has two nics (one connected to office 1 network and the other connected to office three)07:15
=== Kerbero is now known as Kerbero[afk]
yusufwanted to know if I set a static route on the router from office 1 to the server in office two, will I be able to configure the server to forward this traffic to office three network 07:17
yusufor is there some other way to get office one and three talking?07:18
yusufusing port fowarding over ssh to connect to the server in office three from office one at the moment07:19
=== Kerbero[afk] is now known as Kerbero
superflyyusuf: routing is not that difficult... you just need know where you want the traffic to go, and what range of IPs to route to07:27
yusufbasically I just want both networks to ping each other07:37
yusufsuperfly: and solution would work even if it means vpn or something07:38
superflyyusuf: no need for a VPN - otherwise the Internet would only work with VPNs07:38
superflyyusuf: Routing 101.07:39
superfly1. Stuff gets routed via specific routing rules07:39
superfly2. If there isn't a routing rule, it gets sent to the default gateway07:39
superfly3. That is all.07:39
yusuf192.168.1.0255.255.255.0 10.60.40.200 07:39
yusufthats my static route on my dlink router07:40
yusufif I ping from anywhere on 10.60.40.0 I get07:40
superflyyusuf: every computer does routing07:40
yusufFrom 10.60.40.2: icmp_seq=2 Redirect Host(New nexthop: 10.60.40.200)07:41
superflyall your computers are set up to route stuff via the default gateway07:41
=== Kerbero is now known as Kerbero[afk]
yusufbut then no response 100% packet loss07:42
superflyof course not, you haven't told it to route that traffic to an accessible location07:45
superflywhat are you pinging?07:45
yusufok something seems to be working now07:47
yusufI added route add -net 10.60.40.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.113 on the ubuntu server in office three07:48
yusufnow I can ping office one network07:48
=== Kerbero[afk] is now known as Kerbero
yusufsuperfly: thanks now it works both ways thanks, seems as if the static route on my billion is not working, so adding that route directly to the ubuntu server in office three made the diffrence07:52
superflyyusuf: As I said a few times already, the routing on the router is not going to affect routing between two nics on a computer07:53
yusufsuperfly: thanks, been scratching my head for two days now07:54

charli love logging into google in germany, you get a login screen "google konten"12:20
charl(fyi, "konten" means a-holes in dutch)12:21
charljust means accounts in german12:21
not_foundso I guess we hope it is a German site and not a Dutch site12:22
charlyup, if you find a dutch site with that title, i would be careful12:23
charlespecially considering you have to "log in"12:23
not_foundlol12:25
not_foundoh wait L/12:25
not_found:/12:25
not_found:(12:25
charlthe first time i saw it, i didn't know what it means in german, kinda freaked me out12:26
charli thought google got hacked or something12:26
charlon the reverse side, there is this company called "webton" in germany12:26
charlin german, "ton" means "tone", so the company's english name would have been "webtone"12:27
charlkind corny, but ok12:27
charlso they opened up a branch in the netherlands and called it by the same name12:27
charlproblem is, "tone" in dutch is "toon", not "ton"12:27
charl"ton" however means garbage12:27
charlso the company literally looks like it's been called "webgarbage"12:28
not_foundit might be12:28
charlthe funniest thing of it all is that they advertise things like "search engine optimisation" and "link building"12:29
charli seriously thought somebody was pulling a (very expensive) prank12:29
not_foundhaha12:38

Kiloshey Trixar_za 19:23
Kiloswhat did you say wrong?19:23
Trixar_zaEr, told the guy I didn't care if we lost him as a developer (in not such a nice way - few f-bombs included), that I will make it my mission to replace his contributions with mine and revert any changes he makes that will negatively influence the project19:26
Trixar_zaOh and that he just pissed me off enough to motivate me to push the proposed idea forward as a definite19:26
Trixar_za... and then he posted it on the mailing list, then I posted all this messages on the mailing list19:27
Trixar_zahis*19:27
Kilosoh my19:27
Trixar_zaWe then made up like 5 minutes after the last email. So I had to send an apologetic email to the list too19:28
Kilossomewhere in my blogs there is a message to young peeps19:29

inetprosuperfly: how's the performance of the Raspberry Pi?20:21
superflyinetpro: with the non-optimised Debian: slow, but not unusable20:22
superflyinetpro: I'm keen to see what Raspian is like20:22
superflyapparently it's faster and smoother20:22
inetproyou still downloading?20:22
superflyhaven't downloaded it yet20:23
inetprook20:23
inetprogood thing if you can experience the Debian side first20:23
inetprosuperfly: it will be very interesting to see how usable that little device can be for presentations20:25
inetprono more bulky laptops needed to carry around20:26
superflyRaspian is Debian, it's just optimised20:26
inetproahh20:27
cocooncrashinetpro: That's a neat idea!20:43
cocooncrashI doubt that it could run LibreOffice, but a PDF reader should run fine.20:43
inetprococooncrash: would definitely look very cool!20:44
cocooncrashIt amazes me that there's no standard to wirelessy connect to projectors to do presentations20:44
inetprothat plus a laser pointer and a projector20:44
cocooncrashA RasbPi connected to a project which accepts wireless connections from your Android would be neat20:45
inetproin fact projectors should come with a built in raspberry pi20:45
inetpronow there's an idea20:46
inetproI could make money20:46
inetpro:-)20:46

tumbleweedsuperfly: raspion shouldn't be more than 20% faster22:38
