[19:39] morning [19:42] morning [21:58] Ubuntu keyboard; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007W66BRG/ [22:08] hads: that's actually pretty tempting [22:10] yay ubuntu people [22:11] Is anyone here? [22:11] yes [22:11] about 20 others [22:11] lol Awesome [22:11] im moving all my company stuff away from MS [22:12] and i had some questions kinda if anyone was up for it [22:12] its mostly about SAMBA on Ubunutu 12.04 LTS [22:12] or am i in the wrong room :) [22:12] depends on what you want to know about it [22:13] well, you can ask... [22:13] ok, well ill give it a crack [22:13] basically i have a main region and sub regions, and im sharing samba across subnets. [22:14] so here comes my question, i wrote this down so ill cut n paste [22:14] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [22:14] damn only pastes one line at a time lol [22:15] ok, bullet points, the darn thing works mostly, all samba shares work locally, with either usernames and pw or plain shares [22:15] all sub regions can connect using usernames and pw, or blank shares [22:15] main region can connect to sub region plain shares [22:16] main region cant connect to sub region password/username shares [22:16] Who named liboobs [22:16] however, if i connect to the old windows 2003 VPN i can access the sub region samba [22:17] the regions are connected via IPSEC site to site [22:17] lol hads [22:18] when i try to browse the sub regions from the main region it jsut keeps asking for my username and password over and over, the same u/n and p/w that works via VPN connection or locally [22:18] so i guess my question is why cant i connect from the main region to the sub regions with usernames and p/w [22:18] when those work locally [22:21] that may be best asked in #ubuntu-server or on a support site like askubuntu.com if noone knows here [22:21] thanks man [22:21] * hads doesn't use SMB [22:22] I just cracked up as i was toying with the idea of asking TIM P if he knew [22:22] and then realised hes thumper [22:22] :) [22:23] Hey Tim, its Chris M, you know me from facebook and John E lol [22:23] * ajmitch only uses samba on the local network [22:23] Sounds like some sort of silly broadcast thing. [22:23] hi ChrisNZ [22:23] veebers: see what I meant about small world last night? [22:23] lol [22:23] ChrisNZ: I've only used samba very simply, nothing complex [22:24] ajmitch: heh [22:24] Havent used IRC for ages, whats private message again? [22:24] i do agree it sounds like a broadcast thing, since the VPN lets me through.... [22:25] alhtough i can access the plain shares without usernames and passwords without a challenge [22:26] not private message, i mean, "directed message to a user" [22:27] i was thinking of paying caconical to help lol [22:30] Sounds like a reasonable idea. [22:32] Thumper, how do i best contact them in NZ? [22:32] um... contact the help desk? [22:32] it runs 24/5 [22:37] do you mean using this page, http://www.ubuntu.com/business/services/contact [22:38] ChrisNZ: never tried, as I poke them internally :) [22:39] lol do they have a number? [22:40] ChrisNZ: try the links off http://canonical.com [22:42] Okeis guys, and girls??? thanks! lol later Thumps [22:51] morning [22:51] * chilts forgot [22:56] hads: can't tell, but is that a wobbly square on the key between the Ctrl and Alt ? [22:59] http://liliputing.com/2012/08/great-wall-u310-packs-an-ubuntu-desktop-pc-into-a-keyboard.html That one certainly is [23:24] Heh, looks like it. [23:25] What perplexes me is all these phones coming out with 1280x720 IPS screens and laptops seem to be stuck with crappy TN panels of around the same resolution. [23:26] if a laptop could be used as a phone, id get it instead of a phone
