[06:22] Morning Kilos [06:23] morning Kilos [06:33] evidently the only place in South Africa that people live in is Gauteng [06:34] thats a strange statement [06:34] what i missed [06:36] Im trying to guess where Superfly live. He said it would take him a few days drive to get to gauteng as he is using the metro train. So either he is driving an oxwaggon or he doesnt live in Sa but i dont know if they have metro in Africa [06:37] lol [06:40] barrydk, you have a car? [06:42] Yes Kilos [06:42] what car barrydk ? [06:42] Ford Saphire and a Toyota Hilux [06:43] ok 15 hours drive going fast with only petrol and pee stops [06:44] more than speed limit fast [06:44] And i can get to annywhere in SA within a few days. [06:45] yip [06:45] So Superfly is in the Cape and drive an oxwaggon when he's not using the metro. [06:51] lol [06:52] oxwagon would take weeks or months [06:52] barrydk: I needed to drive the oxwagon so that you could catch up to me :-P [06:52] hahaha [06:53] fulla beens today [06:53] beans too [06:53] a car would only take a day not a few days.

Will have to re-create them all ? [09:04] wont a backup remember them? [09:04] or cp everything [09:04] That's the data , I'm talking about the accounts themselves [09:04] they must be saved somewhere [09:04] save that file too [09:05] Kilos: that's why you never believe anything that is written on the Internet, especially by Ubuntu users [09:05] superfly, i try not to bother you guys more than is necessary [09:06] often its to fix what ive broken from following the net stuff [09:08] Ok ek's oppad barrydk === magespawn_ is now known as magespawn [09:15] there are a couple of sites that i use that are fairly reliable [09:16] but i also cross reference a lot [09:18] whatever killed my pc the other day killed my server as well [09:18] cant boot today [09:18] grrr [09:20] wonder what it was [09:21] i dunno just glad it didnt kill you too [09:21] server is a major job without internet [09:22] and i didnt save where it must find sticks etc [09:22] grrr [09:22] remember had to mkdir /media/external [09:24] maybe ill first try boot-repair from maverick [09:25] oh [09:25] eish [09:39] dont think it will work because i wont be able then to boot from server and run boot-repair [09:39] sigh [09:44] yay it booted [09:44] yoohoo [09:48] cool Kilos [09:49] maybe i should install boot-repair on it [09:49] from here [09:49] hehe [09:49] i like ssh [09:49] does boot-repair work without a gui [09:49] ssh is pretty cool hey [09:50] now you can use sftp to move files securely too [09:50] you can start it from cli but it opens a small window so i dunno [09:50] sftp? [09:50] file transfer process? [09:50] secure? [09:51] Maaz, define sftp [09:51] Kilos: SFTP Screened Foiled Twisted Pair [cable] (UTP, TP) , SFTP Simple File Transfer Protocol (RFC 913) [09:51] ah Simple File Transfer Protocol [09:51] i like simple [09:52] actually i thin it is secure file transfer protocol [09:53] s/thin/think [09:53] this is a bad unity install text in pidgin is so tiny and i cant change it [09:53] grrr even with myunity [09:56] at the moment i do not have unity on any of my machines so have no idea [09:56] hehe [10:15] happy new year cocooncrash [10:16] scp is slightly better than sftp if you just want to copy files without running a file manager [10:17] does one install file managers on a server or just do things via cli [10:36] hey second power cut for today [10:36] yeah ugly [10:37] just annoying. [10:37] not if you upgrading [10:38] was busy repiaring a pc, factory reinstall [10:38] then i becomes a hassle [10:38] ai [10:39] yup [10:39] so we sit instead [10:46] Can someone help me with an ssh problem please. From a linux pc I can ssh into the server , but from my Win 7 pc with putty I just get the error "Server unexpectedly closed connection" [10:46] Unable to connect with putty at all [10:53] mazal are they on the same network? [10:53] Yep magedroid [10:53] Same lan [10:54] do you enter the username and password as you log in or are they saved in putty? [10:54] It doesn't even get that far to ask for username , doesn't connect at all [10:54] maybe the ssh config resticts the login, but not sure how [10:56] Only happens from putty on the win box [10:56] Linux box can connect [10:56] strange [10:57] Kilos: no, SFTP is a kind of a file manager that copies stuff between your local machine and the remote one [10:57] scp is less complicated, and therefore easier to use [10:57] thats magedroid for have no idea [10:57] Always something that don't work and have to irritate one [10:57] ah ty superfly [10:57] mazal: Win7 firewall settings [10:58] long time since i used putty, can really remember what i did to get mine to work [10:58] superfly, it's off [10:58] antivirus firewall? [10:59] And it connects fine to my other two ubuntu servers [10:59] Just the new one that doesn't work [10:59] mazal: correct IP address? [10:59] yep [10:59] mazal: make sure you're not using a domain name or host name when you connect via either [11:00] I always connect via ip [11:00] rubber duck yourself through the setup [11:01] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging [11:02] courtesy of superfly and inetpro i think [11:04] mazal: and are you *sure* your linux box is connecting to the correct server? [11:04] Yes I am superfly [11:05] can you ping the server? [11:06] yep [11:07] And open it's web sites [11:07] mazal: on the Win7 box too? [11:07] Yes superfly [11:07] It's only ssh not working [11:08] sounds like a Windows issue to me [11:09] But why does it connect fine to my other 2 ubuntu servers then ? [11:14] mazal: try flushing the DNS cache maybe? Irunno [11:22] Have now idea how to do that [11:24] on the windows machine ipconfig /flushdns [11:27] you could also try trace route from both machines [11:42] mazal: check the putty Event Log [11:42] right-click on the PuTTY window title [11:43] I THINK we have resolved it [11:43] But now the whole server crashed [11:43] We have added our 2 pc's in the /etc/hosts file [11:43] Then Barry could connect [11:44] But now the server crashed completely [11:44] Will get back to this one [11:47] inetpro, I only get the options "close" and "move" when I click the window [11:48] hmm... [11:53] mazal: perhaps you have an old version of putty? [11:53] 0.62 [11:56] whew that Putty is a serious tool hey [11:56] http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/faq.html [11:57] I now have to wait for the huge data copy to finish so I can reboot the server and see if it works now [11:57] Networking has crashed , dunno why , but the data copy is going on so will leave it now until that finishes [11:58] eish [11:58] Hy try my geduld [11:59] Moet mos altyd so gaan , niks kan net reg werk nie [11:59] mazal: to be honest I have never used the event log in putty [11:59] perhaps it is part of an addon [11:59] * inetpro read about it at http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/07/10-practical-putty-tips-and-tricks-you-probably-didnt-know/ [12:01] 0.62 seems like it is the latest version [12:22] hi nlsthzn compliments of the season to you [12:23] they cant change new year to some other date methinks [12:24] Hiya uncle Kilos , best for 2013 to you too :) [12:24] ty laddie [12:30] the more advanced technology gets the more one battles to set things up [12:38] the older one gets the tougher technology becomes ;) [12:40] try this mazal 2nd page of this thread http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red-hat-fedora-linux/179049-cant-ssh-telnet-through-putty-2.html === Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za [12:44] lol [12:44] Hey Kilos [12:44] yo Trixar_za [12:45] Know any good Linux related courses?
