[00:05] <rbasak> nacc, powersj: sounds good. Thanks!
[00:31] <madLyfe> nacc: what do you think about my theory on the server installer not needing any additional software for the usb adapter?
[00:33] <ruben23> guys when i port scan my ubuntu server i seee open prot SSH - 22 and Http - 80, how do i close this somehow.?, i have firewall iptables already
[00:33] <ruben23> any iodea guys
[00:47] <nacc> madLyfe: sorry, i might have missed the theory
[00:49] <madLyfe> " <madLyfe> well thats confusing, if i never had internet, and the installer doesnt recognize the usb ethernet adapter at install, but can be manually added after install, it means the software is there already."
[00:50] <nacc> madLyfe: i'm going off what you reported before, that you didnt' have internet in the server installer
[00:50] <nacc> madLyfe: if you do, then you do.
[00:51] <nacc> madLyfe: what do you mean by 'can be manaully added after install'?
[00:52] <madLyfe> like the usb network adapter wasnt detected during install. after i installed server i was able to go in an manually add it to the network interfaces file.
[00:52] <nacc> madLyfe: so it worked on boot after install?
[00:52] <madLyfe> so the software is already there for it to run. its just not being picked up by the installer.
[00:52] <madLyfe> no
[00:52] <nacc> madLyfe: then you're not being clear :)
[00:52] <madLyfe> i had to manually configure it.
[00:52] <nacc> madLyfe: what does that specifically mean?
[00:53] <nacc> all you had to do was add it to /e/n/i ?
[00:53] <nacc> also it's about 6pm here on a friday -- i'm eod/eow. Can we pick it up on tuesday (holiday here on monday)
[00:53] <madLyfe> if i remember correctly? maybe there were some other commands but i didnt add any other software from somewhere else is what im getting at.
[00:54] <nacc> madLyfe: then what you are describing now isn't what i remember you describing for and we should start over :)
[00:54] <madLyfe> ya np. i feel ya.
[01:05] <nacc> madLyfe: just ping me on tuesday and i'll try to dedicate some more brainpower to it
[01:06] <sarnold> madLyfe: I thoght you had this thing up and running a few days ago?
[01:07] <madLyfe> ok thanks nacc!
[01:08] <madLyfe> sarnold: ya you guys got it up and running for me and that just answered the question that its possible. now i need to get it to recognize the adapter during install like everything else.
[01:08] <sarnold> madLyfe: oh? why do you want to re-do the installer step?
[01:09] <madLyfe> what do you mean re-do?
[01:09] <madLyfe> we got it running by manually configuring the adapter after a full install and after boot.
[01:13] <sarnold> like, why aren't you saying "yay time to install minecraft and start playing around"?
[01:14] <madLyfe> you can play minecraft on server?
[01:14] <madLyfe> these servers are just for mining. need quick and painless setups and push them to production.
[01:14] <sarnold> yeah running minecraft servers is big business
[01:14] <madLyfe> never played. dunno.
[01:15] <sarnold> look I don't know what people -do- with their computers :)
[01:15] <madLyfe> lol
[01:15] <sarnold> you .. use the computer to build tools to use on the computer. uh. what more do people do with them? like there's cat videos and all but this doesn't seem like a cat video kind of computer.
[01:17] <sarnold> so you've got it up and running, right? what's stopping you from installing the mining software and rolling in the dough?
[01:41] <madLyfe> sorry sarnold, i had to do the dishes and made some tea.
[01:42] <madLyfe> its not running at all. that was just a trial to see if my idea would work. and we proved it would. now to set up a bunch of them. i need the installer to function the way i want though.
[01:42] <madLyfe> thats the last part
[01:43] <madLyfe> i dont want to be manually fixing the ethernet adapter on all of these headless servers.
[01:45] <sarnold> madLyfe: so, two thoghts -- if you've got more of them, are they -all- running outside the chassis? no nics? terrible usb thing for all of them?
[01:46] <sarnold> madLyfe: .. could you just dd the one image around to all the disks and change what should be unique on them all after they're up and running?
[01:46] <madLyfe> sarnold: yep
[01:47] <madLyfe> well once i can remote into them its a breeze, as you can understand. getting the ability to remote in is my issue.
[07:49] <lordievader> Good morning
