mazalMaaz large07:38
MaazIn a beer mug just for you mazal07:38
mazalMaaz with scons07:39
Maazmazal: *blink*07:39
mazalI picked up a weird samba thing at work hey07:40
mazalScenario:07:41
mazalUbuntu server 10.10 with a share for my avupdates for my Win 7 clients07:41
mazalWin 7 clients run a bat file that maps and execute the av update file07:41
mazalTwice a week I dl the update and put in share07:41
MaazCoffee's ready for mazal and Kilos!07:42
mazalIt usually doesn't want to delete the old one with Win explorer so I normally putty to the ubuntu server and delete it with rm -f07:42
KilosMaaz, ty07:42
MaazYou are welcome Kilos07:42
mazalThen I copy the new file from my Win 7 machine to the samba share07:42
mazalWorked well for long , but , lately I always get a "file is corrupt" error when trying to run it from the samba share , but from my pc it works fine07:43
mazalThen yesterday I saw something werid07:43
Kiloseish07:43
mazalDeleted the old file as usual with rm -f07:44
mazalCopied the new one from my Win pc07:44
mazalBUT , then I saw that the "new" file on the server still has the old date and size07:44
mazalAnd gives file corrupt error07:44
mazalSo I deleted it again , this time from the Win pc07:44
mazalAnd copied the new file again. Now the new date and size showed and file corrupt error is gone07:45
mazalSo why , when I delete old file with rm -f and copy the new one does it keep the old file date and size and effectively corrupts the new file ?07:45
mazalStrange one hey07:46
Kilosyeah07:46
mazalSo for some reason rm -f doesn't completely remove , and when the new file is copied it the old file's date and size re-appeares07:48
Kilosstrange07:48
mazalI wonder what will happen if I rm -f and then reboot the server07:49
mazalNot an option to reboot everytime , but will be interesting to see what happens07:49
Kilosya it could, but servers are meant to stay online as long as possible isnt it?07:50
mazalIndeed , I wouldn't want to reboot everytime07:50
mazalMaybe reset samba to force closing of all possible connections07:51
mazalMaybe that has something to do with it07:51
Squirmmazal: do you have a file manager installed? maybe that is doing the same thing?07:57
mazalYou mean on the server Squirm ?07:58
Squirmmazal: yes08:03
Squirmif you think samba could be an issue, maybe ssh as well?08:04
mazalNope , no guis or file managers. Standard 10.10 server install08:04
SquirmI don't know, just throwing out straws08:04
mazalIn what way might ssh be the culprit ?08:05
Kilosmazal, why 10.1008:05
Kilosyou cant get update/upgrades for it anymore08:05
mazalKilos, I have learned that if it ain't broken , don't fix it. And if you don't need new features , don't upgrade it lol08:06
Kilosno man im sure ubuntu doesnt work properly till you done the first update/upgrades08:06
mazalWhen I installed it that was the latest. It is super fast and doesn't have or need anything else. So I don't see the need to re-install it with a new one08:07
Kilosah08:07
* Squirm finds bugs in the 10.10 kernel and attacks mazal 08:07
Kilosbut you missing all the security upgrades that dont come anymore08:07
mazalAnd this is just my small little "provide the update" file server08:07
mazalI can't update anyway. Could never have found a way to update from behind a proxy08:08
mazalSpend many many many hours on that without success08:08
Squirmthere is a line you can stick into the apt-get config file08:08
SquirmI've done it08:08
Squirms/apt-get/apt08:08
mazalThat don't work Squirm , not for our organization08:09
mazalWe have tried all of those things08:09
Squirmmazal: what proxy are you running?08:09
mazalIt just won't work08:09
Kilosevery ubuntu install ive done doesnt work properly until you get the first update/upgrade08:09
mazalAll I know it's an Microsoft ISA proxy. It is controlled by our head office in PTA. We have no access or control over it08:09
Squirmthis doesn't work if you add it to /etc/apt/apt.conf ?08:10
Squirmhttp_proxy=http://username:password@yourproxyaddress:proxyport08:10
mazalNope, and we also added some proxy info to the .bashrc as well. That also didn't work08:11
mazalWe have tried every tip and tutorial google could find. Nothing worked08:11
Squirmhave you managed to ssh out from work?08:11
mazalNever tried to ssh somewhere out no08:12
Squirmprobably won't be able to though08:12
mazalIn the end we gave up08:12
Squirmso you have to enter your proxy details into your browser?08:12
mazalThe server doesn't have one. But my colleuge was able to get proxy working on his browser on his laptop yes08:13
mazalBut even on that laptop apt-get couldn't see repositories08:13
mazalIn the end we gave up. We have 3 ubuntu servers , none of them can update08:14
SquirmI'm just wondering what type of proxy it is. socks4/5, http08:14
Squirmwe run an access controlled http proxy08:15
Squirmso they have to use an AD username and password08:15
Squirmso if someone is clever enough to find application that handle http proxies, they can use them. but it'll still count towards their bandwidth use08:16
mazalWe figured that might be where the problem is, the AD username and password. We tried various formats in that proxy settings but it didn't want to work08:21
mazalWe continue searching and tried formats giving on the net. But it just kept refusing08:22
mazalWe tried until google's answers was used up :P08:22
=== Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za
mazalIs very frustrating to try and create something nice , but software and systems used by the employer blocks you :(08:24
Squirmyeah\08:35
Squirmit is a pain08:35
Kiloshi Vince-0 merry christmas08:46
Kilosim installing server 12.04 on other pc mazal 08:46
Kiloswhat a business with direct cable connect08:47
=== Trixar_za is now known as Trix[a]r_za
Kilosmerry christmas Trix[a]r_za 08:47
mazalWhat you gonna use it for Kilos ?08:47
Kilosi actually dont know yet08:48
Kiloslol08:48
mazallol08:48
mazalI sommer converted my desktop into server as well08:48
mazalBut don't use it much , basically just when I want to copy files from my Win laptop to my main data partition08:49
Kiloswhat you gonna use it for?08:49
Kiloshehe08:49
mazalIt has fulll LAMP08:49
* Kilos dunno LAMP08:49
mazalBut currently just using the file sharing08:49
mazalLAMP = Linux + Apache + Mysql + PhP08:49
mazalAnd it has samba as well for the file sharing08:50
mazalPreviously I used the MySql , PhP and Apache for databases. But these days it seems like overkill at home and my data I sommer put in spreadsheets08:50
Kilosjust saw a mail in the lists about python to php08:50
Kilossomething like that08:51
Kilos8ta only took 27 mins to download the server iso last night08:51
Kilos3708:51
mazalNice08:52
Kilosim happy. i still remember my days of using an old  fone as modem on gprs08:52
Kilostook 9 hours to do update/upgrade on 9.1008:53
mazalOh boy , gprs. Horrible. Is the only wireless we have here. That's why I stick with adsl08:53
Kilosnow server install asks me if i need to use a HTTP  proxy to access the outside world08:55
Kilosdont even know what that is08:55
Kilosbypassed it08:56
Kilosso much to learn08:57
mazalThat is what me and Squirm were discussing08:57
mazallol , You going with the "If I don't know it I skip it" method :)08:58
Squirm:P08:59
Squirmmazal: I'm also stuck with just gprs08:59
mazalEina Squirm 09:00
Squirmwell09:00
Squirmbeing wireless09:00
Squirmotherwise adsl it is09:00
Squirm(at home)09:00
Squirmat work we have a 4mbit line09:00
Squirmcome09:00
Squirmcome the 7th of Jan, we'll have 4*4mbit09:00
Squirm:)09:00
mazalMine is very bad. Like 4kb/s a second and disconnects every 10 seconds. I have to rather stick to adsl. Only have 1mb though. 4mb to expensive09:01
Squirmyeah, at home we have 1meg09:01
Squirmwhich is where I am now. am going back to where I work on the 6th09:02
mazalAnd I have a big problem with Telkom charging the same for 4mb and 10mb. That is just plain wrong09:02
SquirmI live on the property, so use the net there :)09:02
Squirmmazal: very much so :O09:02
Squirmpeople in places like us, can't even get 10mbit lines :/09:02
mazalIt's like selling a 1300 to a guy but he must pay the price of a V609:02
mazalAnd just because you don't have V6 in stock. Very bad excuse and plain thievery 09:03
Squirmdepends which way you look at it. it's like selling a V6 to a guy, but he pays for a 130009:03
Squirmthats why we have to get 4*4mbit09:04
SquirmUncapped, Unshaped, Unthrottled, etc09:04
mazalThat's lekke09:04
Squirmgoing to cost us about R5k though09:04
mazalDon't you have job for me there lol09:04
Squirmbut then we do have 4 computer rooms with a total of about 100 computers09:04
SquirmI work at a school09:04
mazalWe have 220. And are stuck with a 1mb line09:05
Squirmso when the rooms are full, our 4meg line is painfully slow09:05
mazalYou don't even wonna know how slow ours is09:05
Squirmbut at night, I have unlimited access to our line.09:05
* Squirm jumps up and down like an excited kid09:05
Squirmmazal: I can imagine though09:05
mazalOther site we have 60 with a 512k09:06
mazalAnd other site is 10 with a 128k09:06
Squirm128k? ISDN? seriously?09:06
mazalBut the worst is the main one09:06
mazalYeah. ISDN all of them09:06
Squirmand surely 512k users should ahve been upgraded to 2mbit?09:07
Squirms/ahve/have09:07
Squirmoh, ISDN as well09:07
mazalOur management doesn't see it necessary to upgrade09:07
Squirmsurely adsl is cheaper?09:07
mazalThey sit nicely at HO with a number of 4mb lines and all the servers on their lan. So why should they care09:08
Kiloseeek what server must i choose09:08
Kilosopenssh09:08
Kiloslamp09:08
KilosDNS09:08
