keithclarkI've installed apache2 and confirmed it is working.  I then installed munin and munin-node but I cannot get http://localhost/munin to work in my browser.  It responds with 'Not Found' error.  I see the files are generated in /var/cache/munin/www.  Any ideas what could be wrong?03:22
xpistosHey guys. I installed lxde on an ubuntu server to do some testing but now when I reboot it goes right to the gui. How can have the xserver not start at boot up03:55
sarnoldxpistos: you can do that with an upstart override file: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#override-files03:57
genii-aroundsarnold: Nice, I didn't know those even existed03:57
sarnoldxpistos: I put "manual" into /etc/init/lightdm.override and X no longer started on my standard desktop install; presumably something similar will do the job for you (I don't know lxde details, but lightdm seems likely)03:58
sarnoldgenii-around: my opinion of upstart went way up once I found those :) I never much cared for the sysv symlinks, but the older upstart "just move the config file" didn't feel right either. this is simple and feels cleaner. :)03:59
xpistosI thought I needed to change the run level03:59
genii-aroundxpistos: Runlevels are the old way03:59
sarnoldxpistos: heh, back in the day you're right, you'd just change '5' to '3' in your inittab and be done with it :) but upstart changed things a bit...03:59
xpistosso like "echo "manual" >> /etc/init/lightdm.override04:00
sarnoldxpistos: yes -- but make sure /etc/init/lightdm.conf exists first (no point disabling a service that doesn't exist.. :)04:01
genii-aroundxpistos: That command won't work04:02
xpistosnope no file04:02
genii-aroundxpistos: You need like: echo "whatever" | sudo tee /etc/init/lightdm.override04:02
xpistostee?04:03
genii-around( replacing the "whatever" of course04:03
sarnoldxpistos: "no file"? have you configured your shell in a funny way that forbids >> from creating a file? o_O04:03
genii-aroundxpistos: Yes04:03
xpistosno04:03
xpistosI just hadn't heard of tee before04:03
genii-aroundsarnold: No, it's just an area his logged in user can't make a file to04:03
sarnoldgenii-around: hrm. The error in that case is "permission denied".04:04
sarnoldOH!04:05
sarnoldxpistos: as in, /etc/conf/lightdm.conf doesn't exist. :)04:05
sarnolderr04:06
sarnoldsigh. time to quit. :)04:06
sarnoldxpistos: as in, /etc/init/lightdm.conf doesn't exist, right?04:06
sarnolddoes /etc/init/lxdm.conf exist? if so, try "echo manual >> /etc/init/lxdm.override"  (or, if not logged in as root, use genii-around's neat trick, "echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/lxdm.override")04:06
xpistosdidn't work gui still came up04:07
xpistosthe only thing in that file is "manual"04:08
sarnoldxpistos: this command ought to help you figure out which gui login widget you're using: service --status-all 2>&1 | grep dm04:09
xpistoslxdm04:09
sarnoldxpistos: wjat04:10
sarnoldwhat's in your /etc/init/lxdm.override file now?04:10
xpistosrebooting after trying the lxdm.override04:11
xpistosthe only thing in that file is "manual" but it did work this time04:11
sarnoldyay04:13
xpistosreboot and it is working04:13
xpistosThanks guys04:13
xpistosNot I have to get oracle and sql developer plus installed04:13
sarnoldxpistos: oof. good luck. :)04:16

zAo^2Yes14:46
zAo^2But Im wondering if the CDrom is a internal USB drive..14:46
RoyKhm14:46
RoyKshould work anyway14:46
zAo^2since fdisk is not available, I cant see the drives14:46
RoyKcat /proc/partitions14:46
zAo^2lsmod gives me usb_storage though14:47
RoyKshouldn't matter how the cdrom is connected14:47
zAo^2hm. /proc/partitions is empty? :S14:47
RoyKbad sign14:47
zAo^2Yeah. The internal SATA drive should contain Openelec14:47
RoyKzAo^2: can you try with a thumb drive?14:48
zAo^2RoyK: installing you mean?14:48
zAo^2RoyK: at first there was a USB drive connected and the installer tried to install from it...14:49
RoyKyeah, installing from a thumb drive is usually faster too14:49
zAo^2Server installs are fine from cd14:50

darkrayi want to  set up a dhcp server of ip address 151.2.10.127 which leases ip address to it's client in the range 10.2.10.100-10.2.10.200. could anyone help me ?17:45
RoyK!dhcp17:46
ubottudhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP17:46
RoyKoh17:46
RoyKdarkray: apt-get install isc-dhcp-server17:46
RoyKand then configure it17:46
RoyKit's pretty simple17:47
darkrayRoyK: yeah, it's pretty simple,if you lease ip address in 151.2.10.0 network. but i want to lease ip address in 10.2.10.0 network17:48
darkraydo u know how to do that ?17:48
RoyKwell, first of all, two NICs17:49
RoyKthen setup NAT17:49
RoyKthen configure DHCP on the one with RFC 1918 address17:49
RoyKerm17:49
RoyKconfigure the dhcp server to serve that network17:49
darkrayRoyK: i m doing all this in vmware17:50
darkrayand i've only one interface eth0.17:50
RoyKthen add another17:50
RoyKit may be possible with a single nic, but it'll be ugly17:50
darkraycan't i do it w/o adding another iface17:51
darkray?17:51
darkraydoesn't matter how ugly it looks17:51
darkraypls tell me how to do it17:51
RoyKit's no problem having a dhcp server serving addresses outside of what's used on your network17:51
RoyKbut it's not pretty17:52
darkraythen pls tell me how to do it, i would be really grateful17:52
darkrayRoyK : ?17:53
RoyKwell, google isc dhcp or read the manual pages, or at least start with looking through the config file17:53
RoyKit's not hard17:53
darkrayi've done all that17:55
darkraybut didn't find anything useful17:55
qman__you should add a second interface for the LAN side17:55
qman__in the real world you would never configure it like that17:56
RoyKqman__++17:57
RoyKdarkray: really, you need separate network for the dhcp part17:58
qman__even if you had them on the same wire they'd be on different VLANs17:58
qman__which would use separate virtual interfaces17:58
darkrayqman_: i am practicing this because i've to configure this server in my office17:59
darkrayso pls help me17:59
RoyKdarkray: then add a new nic17:59
RoyKseparate vlan17:59
RoyKclients on that vlan17:59
qman__exactly18:16
qman__it won't help to set it up wrong because that's not how you're going to do it later18:16
qman__you need two NICs18:16
darkrayqman__: could it be done using dnsmasq ?18:46
qman__darkray, it could, just as it could with isc-dhcpd18:56
qman__but I won't help you do it the wrong way, you need to add a second virtual NIC18:56
darkrayqman__ : thanx,18:57
darkrayi've done it by adding a second virtual NIC18:58
darkraybut still want to try and do it using only one NIC.18:58
RoyKwhy?18:58
RoyKit doesn't make sense18:58
darkrayRoyK: just experimenting19:01
RoyKit still doesn't make sense19:02

dingoin my gui router config web page it will give me the ip, mac and device name. i have been trying to get the device name using nmap but all i can get is the ip and mac, the device name says unknown. how can the router know but not nmap? i have looked at host discovery for nmap but none of the options i have used(almost all, for host discovery, at this point) come back with a device name. i know there has to be a way...please help23:09
maxbThe router's name may be, and probably is, entirely irrelevant for the correct functioning of networking, unlike IP and MAC. There's no guarantee or need that it be remotely discoverable at all.23:15
dingomaxb: sorry if i was confusing, i am refering to the device names of devies attached to the router23:49
maxbdingo: In that case, I can take a pretty good guess that the only reason your router knows those is because it participated in the DHCP exchange with those devices. NMAP didn't, so doesn't.23:52
