[03:52] <Vampy> what's the proper command to install a .deb package from the cli
[03:55] <Unit193> dpkg -i file.deb  and you may need sudo apt-get install -f
[03:55] <Vampy> ahh thanks Unit193 i knew i was missing an arg inthere
[03:56] <Vampy> -f that covers dependencies rghjt?
[03:57] <Unit193>  -f  Attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place
[03:59] <Vampy> ok, thanks
[03:59] <Unit193> Sure.
[03:59] <Vampy> now if i have/had to apt-get install -f do i rerun the dpkg -i file.deb again?
[04:00] <Unit193> Shouldn't.
[09:32] <rafnews> Hi, i need help with vsftp and the stupid msg "refused connection". can someone help me plz ?
[11:39] <rafnews> hi i discovered that vsftp doesn't start on my vmware machine. netstat -a | grep ftp doesn't show anything. even if this virtual machine under ubuntu 12.04 can browse internet without any problem... so net works, only ftp server doesn't work. i have also no log from vsftpd... :( where can be the problem ?
[12:41] <phillw> rafnews: I had this issue, I could not even ssh in.
[12:42] <phillw> are you using server edition, or desktop?
[12:44] <phillw> rafnews: in either case, head over to https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html
[13:20] <rafnews> phillw: sorry to answer now, i was at lunch :) I use the desktop version as it's a testing server for development purpose and als some other products
[13:21] <phillw> rafnews: no worries, follow that link I put on.
[13:21] <holstein> sometimes it can be complex getting networking through to the VM in virtualbox... i would make sure you can ping actual network ip's
[13:28] <rafnews> holstein: i can ping from host to guest, from guest to host, guest can browse internet without any trouble
[13:28] <rafnews> anyway i discovered that vsftpd is not started and i don't get any log :( so i stuck at this point
[13:28] <phillw> rafnews: do check that you have things set up as per http://paste.ubuntu.com/1146080/
[13:29] <phillw> rafnews: if you've got that set up. follow the server guide to install and configure up vsftp
[13:31] <phillw> ooh, a net split
