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