addisonj_hrm... so really strange situation here, on a remote host, I have inbound SSH but cannot get outbound internet access...13:22
addisonj_getting an IP fine via DHCP, which is also setting default GW and the like, but its still not working. Would bad default gateway result in such behavior and would I be safe to tweak it without accidentally blowing up my SSH session and then being unreachable13:24
seljei need some help with /etc/exports file13:49

seljeit's ubuntu server 12.04 and linux mint desktop14:42
seljeany idea yeats?14:43
yeatsselje: can you share the full error? (pastebin if multi-line)14:47
seljemount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 10.8.0.1:/exports/glselj/,14:48
selje       missing codepage or helper program, or other error14:48
selje       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might14:48
selje       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)14:48
selje       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try14:48
selje       dmesg | tail  or so14:48
yeatsselje: have you installed nfs-common on the client machine?14:50
seljeyeats: i don't think so..maybe that is the solution14:51
yeatsselje: try installing that and trying again.  You might benefit from reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo#NFS_Client14:52
yeatsselje: you can add a line to /etc/fstab to have it mount at boot14:55
yeats!fstab | selje14:55
ubottuselje: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions14:55

storrgieI'm not sure what to do20:53

damo22i tried the ubuntu channel but i dont think im getting my point across22:05
damo22i am looking for a server install of linux that can be configured to never pause for a keystroke during bootup inside grub22:06
TLoTdamo22, i think you just didn't word it right22:09
TLoTall installs require the bootloader22:09
TLoTthe ubuntu-server image won't include a GUI22:09
TLoTbut it will still have GRUBN22:09
TLoTGRUB *22:09
TLoTand GRUB will typically pause for a second and wait for a keystroke to interrupt boot, but then boot to Linux normally22:10
storrgieAnyone help me with dependency hell? https://gist.github.com/295f139da093740f0ddd#comments I'm not sure how to resolve this issue22:11
TLoTstorrgie, i'm assuming you missed this from earlier, so repost:22:11
TLoT<ScottK> storrgie: Try sudo apt-get remove libgnutls26:i386 then try to update again.22:11
TLoT<ScottK> Then fix your system since you've got updates deactivated.22:11
TLoTdamo22, and from what i can see in the #ubuntu logs, you want it to ignore errors on boot and boot anyways.22:16
TLoTthat's not going to happen, likely, because if there's a boot error such that GRUB can't handle it, you have to diagnose it anyways.22:16
storrgieyeah i did miss that, sorry to need a repost22:17
storrgieTLoT, also, already tried to remove it22:17
TLoTand?22:17
storrgieTLoT, lemme gist for you22:19
storrgiehttps://gist.github.com/0ff09b0506dae464f37122:19
storrgieTLoT, I installed from a deb on this particular package22:20
storrgienow I don't know how to remove it22:20
storrgiethis is why its out of sync with the repos22:21
TLoTstorrgie, did you try: sudo dpkg --remove [package] ?22:21
storrgieI have, but lemme gist for you22:22
TLoTwhich is what you were going to do initially?22:23
TLoToh i missed a link :p22:23
* TLoT kicks his computer22:23
storrgienah, just a sec... I might have not included the :i38622:23
TLoTsudo dpkg --configure -a <-- that's the last 'gist' data you put in22:23
TLoTyou didn't do the remove :P22:23
storrgiehttps://gist.github.com/88d952bfe28284a3c7ea22:24
TLoTfirst off, why are you pulling stuff for oneiric?  Ign http://www.ubnt.com oneiric InRelease22:25
storrgieyeah, its a ppa for ubnt's airvision software22:26
storrgiethats just the version they maintain22:26
storrgieso yes, this is why its a problem for me22:26
damo22TLoT: yes, but when there is a small brownout, it stuffs up and grub sits forever waiting for a keystroke22:26
TLoTdamo22, if there's a brownout you should put a backup power supply there22:26
TLoTdamo22, brownouts will damage your hardware.22:26
TLoTbadly.22:26
damo22TLoT: yes, i know this, but still i want grub not to pause, i would rather it boot and auto fsck22:27
TLoTyou assume that's even possible.22:27
damo22TLoT: yes, if it cannot, THEN stop22:27
TLoTthe whole reason GRUB halts booting on an error is because its usually a non-recoverable error that can't do normally22:27
TLoTthat's what it does normally, damo2222:27
TLoTif its waiting for a keystroke after the fact, you're doing it wrong.22:27
damo22FSCKFIX=yes is an option in ubuntu as well, or just debian?22:28
TLoTthe only reason it would wait for a keystroke is a nonrecoverable error, in which case it *does* halt booting22:28
damo22TLoT: i have observed different behaviour than what you describe using ubuntu-desktop 10.1022:29
TLoTi'm using 12.0422:29
TLoT10.10's EOL btw22:29
TLoTand desktop's different than the server :P22:29
TLoT!10.1022:29
ubottuUbuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details.22:29
damo22okay22:29
TLoTserver (1) has no GUI22:30
damo22one last question22:30
TLoT(2) usually isnt going to ask you for a keystroke, unless your system's weird.22:30
storrgieTLoT, going to go snag some more tea, I'll be back in a moment. the most recent gist should show you more22:30
TLoT(3) like normal grub, will halt booting if an error occurrs.22:30
damo22can i install a server-like version of ubuntu with the 12.04.1 LTS desktop cd?22:30
damo22considering i dont have enough data to dl a new cd22:31
TLoTno.22:31
TLoTwell...22:31
TLoTsorta... but you have to install GUI ubuntu, then uninstall the GUI part and add server packages...22:31
TLoTyou know you can use USBs as installation media right?22:31
* TLoT uses a LiveUSB for installing Ubuntu, and has one for Desktop, one for Server.22:31
damo22yeah22:31
damo22are you my neighbour? can i come and borrow it? lol22:32
damo22i wish they would give me free access to ubuntu packages over my internet connection22:33
* TLoT ignores the last comment.22:33
TLoTerm, what?22:33
TLoTubuntu is pretty much free, a lot of it's open-source...22:33
damo22yea but they charge me for any bandwidth i use22:34
storrgieTLoT, you got a moment to poke at my issue?22:34
TLoTstorrgie, balancing 3 issues plus one remote-tech-support right now, have patience (yours is one of the 3)22:34
storrgieI'll keep the laptop up22:35
damo22TLoT: please consider my issue now closed22:35
TLoTdamo22, i already have, i'm in several other channels, and some of the issues are non-IRC :PO22:35
damo22:)22:35
* TLoT goes back to the other windows22:36
* TLoT looks back at storrgie's stuff22:36
TLoTstorrgie, i'm not sure where your issues are, because you're mixing/matching other repositories with the standard ubuntu ones22:37
TLoTi can't tell from what you've provided what's coming from which repository22:38
TLoTnor whether the higher versions even exist.22:38
TLoTand given that i havent eaten, i'm igoing to finish the remote-tech-support session i'm doing, and then go get something to eat.22:38

DanawarHey would there be a reason that the internet on my server goes down when some one uploads an image to the forum?23:59
DanawarCant seem to find any thing in the kernel or the syslogs23:59
SpamapSDanawar: "the internet on my server" is a little hard to understand23:59
SpamapSDanawar: do you mean to say that after an upload, nobody can connect to your server?23:59
