| lee_ | hello.Can i install software using command 'sudo sh xxx.run' and specify it's owner? | 04:14 |
|---|---|---|
| MartijnVdS | lee_: depends on the software | 04:23 |
| MartijnVdS | lee_: sudo means you do it as root | 04:23 |
| MartijnVdS | lee_: you could use "sudo -u username sh xxx.run" to run the installer as that specific user | 04:23 |
| AlanBell | morning all | 05:27 |
| MartijnVdS | AlanBell: morning | 05:28 |
| AlanBell | Boccia today | 05:58 |
| MartijnVdS | Boccia? | 05:58 |
| MartijnVdS | F1 today! | 05:58 |
| AlanBell | what time does F1 start? | 05:59 |
| MartijnVdS | 12:10 on your side of the water :) | 05:59 |
| MartijnVdS | 13:10 on my side | 06:00 |
| AlanBell | I might catch the finish | 06:00 |
| daubers | o/ | 06:42 |
| MartijnVdS | \o | 06:43 |
| kvarley | Can anybody point me in the direction of a good IP Tables tutorial/resource? I'm looking to block all traffic except for certain IP addresses on certain ports. | 07:58 |
| kvarley | Nvm, help.ubuntu.com knows all :) | 07:59 |
| christel | good morning | 07:59 |
| kvarley | Can anybody recommend a reasonably priced VPS host in the UK that will run Ubuntu Server as an encrypted install? | 08:06 |
| MartijnVdS | encrypted install? | 08:11 |
| kvarley | MartijnVdS: Yeah the way when you install Ubuntu on a PC you can encrypt the home directory | 08:12 |
| kvarley | I've found one but they would charge for it | 08:13 |
| MartijnVdS | also.. you give them the key, so encrypting would be a bit useless | 08:13 |
| kvarley | true | 08:31 |

| brobostigon | good morning everyone. | 09:57 |
| MartijnVdS | \o brobostigon | 09:57 |
| brobostigon | o/ MartijnVdS | 09:58 |
| MartijnVdS | Lots of excitement in Spa :) | 12:12 |
| brobostigon | smash, | 12:16 |
| kvarley | I'm using gufw as my firewall and it seems to be blocking connections even though I have set specific rules | 13:19 |
| kvarley | I have set incoming traffic to deny but then specified certain IP addresses and ports to be allowed | 13:19 |
| kvarley | When I allow incoming traffic I can connect so my rules don't seem to be working | 13:20 |
| zleap | what about your router, is that blocking stuff that gufw is allowing | 13:28 |
| kvarley | zleap: I'm connecting from a machine on the same subnet on the lan so it shouldn't be an issue | 13:34 |
| kvarley | zleap: My bad, mistyped one number which knocked the rule out lol | 13:38 |
| zleap | ah np | 13:38 |
| zleap | easy done that | 13:38 |
| DJones | Does anybody here use google sites for a small business website, just wondering how easy they are to set up and manage | 13:46 |
| penguin42 | DJones: I've been kind of employed by a company that did, from an endusers point of view it worked well | 14:27 |
| penguin42 | DJones: Oh actually, that was mail/etc probably not the website | 14:27 |
| DJones | Seems fairly easy to use for basic websites from what I can see anyway | 14:29 |
| Azelphur | I keep on having issues with nautilus and gedit where they exhibit weird keyboard related behaviour. Gedit won't show a text cursor so I have no idea where I'm typing, and nautilus won't let me type to select a folder | 15:05 |
| Azelphur | It almost seems like they are refusing to focus properly, I have to restart them to get the problem to go away | 15:05 |
| kvarley | Does anybody here know how I can view ejabberd error logs? I can't seem to connect to my ejabberd server with encryption required on my client but I can't see any error messsages | 15:25 |
| * BigRedS assumes you've already looked for /var/log/ejabberd | 15:51 | |
| brobostigon | can you change to what detail it logs ? | 15:52 |
| MartijnVdS | sigh | 15:57 |
| MartijnVdS | is focus-follows-mouse forbidden now? | 15:57 |
| MartijnVdS | in unity? | 15:57 |
| MartijnVdS | I can unset "click to focus" but it won't stick :( | 15:58 |
| BigRedS | MartijnVdS: How would the menus work in focus follows mouse? | 15:58 |
| MartijnVdS | BigRedS: Menus? What are those? | 15:58 |
| penguin42 | BigRedS: Not well is the answer | 15:58 |
| penguin42 | BigRedS: It kind of works but is touchy, you can get around it with using F10 to bring up current menu | 15:59 |
| BigRedS | haha, that's why I stopped looking for focus-follows-mouse almost as soon as I started | 15:59 |
| MartijnVdS | just remove the appmenu-gtk{,3} packages | 15:59 |
| penguin42 | MartijnVdS: See bug 674138 and there seem to be some people also interested https://launchpad.net/~focus-follows-mouse | 16:00 |
| lubotu3 | Launchpad bug 674138 in Unity ""Global" appmenu breaks sloppy focus" [Low,Won't fix] https://launchpad.net/bugs/674138 | 16:00 |
| MartijnVdS | penguin42: It worked until yesterday, then I upgraded my quantal machine | 16:01 |
| MartijnVdS | penguin42: now it's b0rken | 16:01 |
| MartijnVdS | last mail on that team mailing list is almost a year old | 16:01 |
| penguin42 | MartijnVdS: Ah oh, I didn't realise you meant it had completely broken | 16:02 |
| MartijnVdS | and setting it in ccsm doesn't stick :( | 16:02 |
| MartijnVdS | lots of bugs about "HUD" focus.. | 16:03 |
| MartijnVdS | I don't understand the HUD though... but that might be because I never use menus anywya | 16:04 |
| BigRedS | I was just wondering if anyone has got into the habit of using the hud | 16:09 |
| BigRedS | It keeps breaking terminator's alt+arrow-key for me so I've disabled it | 16:09 |
| BigRedS | and I've never thought "Hm, wonder if it's worth re-enabling" | 16:10 |

| mattt | evening all | 16:49 |
| mattt | wow, where has the day gone | 16:49 |
| christel | hiya mattt :) | 16:52 |
| mattt | christel: hey you | 16:54 |
| christel | hows tricks? | 17:03 |
| kvarley | Does anybody know how DNS SRV records work? | 17:29 |
| RaycisCharles | MartijnVdS: did you see Van Persie's hat-trick against the Saints? | 17:29 |
| RaycisCharles | kvarley: yes...an application will register a SRV record in your DNS zone. Clients which query DNS for that service will know which node hosts the service. | 17:30 |
| RaycisCharles | In a nutshell. | 17:30 |
| RaycisCharles | For anything further, consult Google. | 17:30 |
| MartijnVdS | RaycisCharles: I have no idea.. I don't watch football. | 17:38 |
| MartijnVdS | RaycisCharles: sports are much more fun to DO than to watch | 17:38 |
| kvarley | I have a subdomain that has an A record pointing to the IP of my server. Then I have a _xmpp-client as a SRV record to the subdomain but it still won't let me connect. | 17:40 |
| BigRedS | What's 'it'? My Jabber client connects to the IP at the end of the A record of the domain part of my username | 17:48 |
| kvarley | BigRedS: Pidgin won't let me connect to the WAN IP of the server (obviously from another WAN IP) | 17:52 |
| BigRedS | why not? Can you telnet to it on the relevant port? | 17:52 |
| kvarley | BigRedS: So I don't need SRV records specifically for this service so long as the ports are open? | 17:54 |
| BigRedS | however your client finds the XMPP server you need to have the ports open so that traffic from the client can get to the server | 17:55 |
| BigRedS | you need SRV records if your client requires them, pidgin doesn't appear to | 17:55 |

| davmor2 | hello all | 19:37 |
| BigRedS | Good morning! | 20:03 |
| AlanBell | morning BigRedS | 20:04 |
| BigRedS | aha, good morning! | 20:04 |
| BigRedS | I come with a DNS problem :) | 20:04 |
| BigRedS | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1182238/ | 20:05 |
| BigRedS | that output makes no sense to me, does it to anyone else? | 20:05 |
| BigRedS | ns0 and ns1.avi.co are my own nameservers, two VPSs running Bind | 20:05 |
| AlanBell | standard question before I read it carefully, is there anything in a /etc/hosts file that shouldn't be there? | 20:06 |
| BigRedS | nope | 20:06 |
| BigRedS | resolv.conf is looked after by n-m | 20:06 |
| AlanBell | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1182246/ | 20:08 |
| BigRedS | hmm | 20:09 |
| BigRedS | Can you try the same for 'nickvaughan.org' please? That's what triggered this | 20:10 |
| BigRedS | ah, I'm wondering if it's about DNS falling back on TCP where UDP's not allowed, I've a feeling neither of those hosts have much in the way of UDP permitted | 20:11 |
| BigRedS | there's been a few people have problems with resolving names that I'm authoritative for, and thinking now it's only come up since ns0 ended up behind a different router | 20:12 |
| AlanBell | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1182256/ | 20:13 |
| BigRedS | Ta! I think I'll take this up with the Keeper Of The Routers tomorrow :) | 20:13 |

| bigcalm | Evening mgdm | 21:26 |
| bigcalm | Howdy christel :D | 21:26 |
| bigcalm | What are you kids up to? | 21:26 |
| christel | hullu m'dear | 21:26 |
| christel | i am crushing someones hope of employment -- you? | 21:26 |
| bigcalm | \o/ life sucks like that :| | 21:27 |
| mgdm | christel: oh dear | 21:27 |
| bigcalm | I'm trying to put off going to bed because then it will be work that much sooner | 21:27 |
| christel | what sucks? i love it :D | 21:28 |
| bigcalm | Sadist :P | 21:28 |
| bigcalm | Which reminds me to check a certain site | 21:29 |
| BigRedS | A sadism one? | 21:29 |
| bigcalm | BigRedS: feels like it at time | 21:29 |
| bigcalm | 21:29 | |
| BigRedS | haha | 21:29 |
| christel | bigcalm: haha nah, it's not my fault that they're rubbish :P | 21:44 |
| bigcalm | That would hamper their ability to work | 21:44 |
| christel | indeed | 21:57 |
| bigcalm | Touch bored. What shall I do? | 22:00 |
| BigRedS | I can send you my todo list if you like? :) | 22:02 |
| bigcalm | I was hoping for something fun :P | 22:02 |
| BigRedS | ah, nothing matching that description on it I'm afraid | 22:04 |
| bigcalm | I have 116 SVN repos to move to GIT. FML | 22:06 |
| BigRedS | just stick the appropriate bash aliases in everyone's .bashrc | 22:06 |
| mgdm | bigcalm: it's not actually tat bad | 22:06 |
| bigcalm | mgdm: I've moved 3 so far | 22:07 |
| bigcalm | Or 5, small number any way | 22:08 |
| bigcalm | It's just slow | 22:08 |
| bigcalm | But some sites have been deployed using SVN (not my idea), which is going to be interesting getting git onto said servers and use deploy keys | 22:09 |
| bigcalm | Oh, and there's Trac that needs setting up again as well | 22:09 |
| * bigcalm spends a bit of time doing that :) | 22:09 | |
| bigcalm | Sleep now | 22:35 |
