01:28 | In /etc/cups/ssl I have a pair of keys which are symlinks to /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem... I wonder if we could reuse some machine keys instead of generating our own

04:47 | <killermike> Hi all. Does anyone know the "proper" command to restart DHCP in Ubuntu 11.10. There are quite a few older ones that don't work now.
| |
04:52 | <vagrantc> sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart
| |
04:52 | i think ... if it did what debian did
| |
04:53 | <killermike> That did it, thanks.
| |
04:53 | I've gathered about three likely candidates that no longer work x-/
| |
04:54 | <vagrantc> hopefully, that sticks for a few releases

06:44 | <alkisg> slicknick5181: check the irc logs, we helped a person here boot mac computers a few months ago
| |
06:46 | <VectorX> ok im running the setup for fat clients, its taking some time to download
| |
06:47 | ubuntu, also i cant seem to login to the client on Default session setting, i have to go change it to Ubuntu 2D
| |
06:47 | otherwise after login the screen flashes and its back to the login prompt
| |
06:52 | <slicknick5181> Try to update the keys
| |
06:52 | <VectorX> yeah but it logs in if the change the session, so its authenticating
| |
06:54 | ie, if you click on Preferences in the login screen then, Select Session
| |
06:54 | <slicknick5181> What server are you running Ubuntu 11.10?
| |
06:54 | <VectorX> yeah
| |
06:55 | <alkisg> VectorX: maybe your client card doesn't support 3d properly, or it's a compiz bug, etc. What graphics card does the client have?
| |
06:55 | <vagrantc> slicknick5181: powerpc or intel based macs?
| |
06:55 | <VectorX> alkisg nvidia gtx 9800
| |
06:55 | <slicknick5181> Intel Macbook
| |
06:57 | I don't know why your session will not work, But there is a way to change the default session for clients if ubuntu 2d is not a big issue for you
| |
06:58 | vagrantc: intel macbook - Have you had experiences with these?
| |
06:58 | <VectorX> yeah i guess its ok, i dont see anything 3d running anyway, where is it set
| |
06:59 | <vagrantc> slicknick5181: sorry, only really know powerpc, and that not very well
| |
07:01 | <slicknick5181> vagrantc: I did some research and it appears as though even Mac servers sometimes have issues I'm just giving up it's not worth it
| |
07:01 | vectorx: hold on just a sec let me see if I can find it again
| |
07:01 | <alkisg> slicknick5181: did you try gpxe/ipxe?
| |
07:01 | !gpxe
| |
07:01 | <ltsp`> alkisg: gpxe: the successor to etherboot (http://etherboot.org). To download bootable floppy, cd, usb, kernel etc images, visit http://rom-o-matic.net/
| |
07:02 | <alkisg> From the web, "On the topic of gPXE, I was amazed to discover that it even worked on a dual-core Intel MacBook. Mac has no native support for PXE..."
| |
07:04 | <slicknick5181> alkisg: That would explain my issue but I have no Cd drive, I accidentally removed myself from sudoers list, and can not boot from usb
| |
07:08 | <alkisg> vagrantc: I'm reading make-ssl-cert, and trying to see if we should be using that, to generate the epoptes certificate, or even if we should be using the default /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key... Btw they're telling openssl to generate a certificate valid for 10 years.
| |
07:09 | There's also a group named "ssl-cert" which we could use instead of "epoptes", if it makes sense...

13:18 | ie -F 100base(something)
| |
13:19 | <muppis> 1000baseTx-FD

13:21 | <VectorX> sudo mii-tool eth0 -F 1000baseT-FD, eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok

13:21 | did a -v and 1000baseT-FD was an option there wasnt a Tx with 1000
| |
13:21 | its not changing the link though

13:28 | <gvy> yay, that 2.6.32 boots on 16M RAM again! :)
| |
13:28 | <muppis> It can be only me, but so far D-Link has been synonym for network related problems..
| |
13:29 | <VectorX> hmm
| |
13:29 | what do you think i should do, go tplink then ?
| |
13:29 | <gvy> muppis, depends on the part of the network and experience
| |
13:29 | tplink is *way* worse to me so far (as in dual-wan routers and wifi)
| |
13:29 | <VectorX> what do you recomend
| |
13:30 | <gvy> sorry for coming late, but for what part of which network?
| |
13:30 | <VectorX> i dodnt really have too many options here
| |
13:30 | <gvy> and they are?
| |
13:31 | <muppis> No experience from tp-link. I personally use Broadcom's switches and nics.
| |
13:31 | <VectorX> gvy the server connection to the switch goes from green to amber, which means 1gbps to 100mbps
| |
13:31 | <gvy> dlink had awful routers/wifi back in the day of overheating hardware and chinese firmware but that's rather over
| |
13:31 | VectorX, I'd check the patch and connectors, preferably by checking one or two other pieces
| |
13:32 | erm, by replacing the patch with some other one if it's feasible
| |
13:32 | alkisg has joined IRC (alkisg!c23fb60c@gateway/web/freenode/ip.194.63.182.12) | |
13:33 | <VectorX> yeah i was thinking the same, unfortunately i only got a few, probably go buy some good ones on monday
| |
13:33 | <gvy> there are rather inexpensive hp procurve switches as a generic recommendation but that might be not the best bang per buck ratio for your particular situation
| |
13:33 | you should have some spares handy anyway, they won't just collect dust forever :)
| |
13:33 | if you can, replace with a patch from a workstation for some time, just to check
| |
13:34 | maybe the two additional pairs used for gigabit are faulty or misjacked
| |
13:40 | <VectorX> yeah just did that, and now its 1gbps
| |
13:40 | <muppis> :D
| |
13:40 | <VectorX> the cable from the adsl router is 100mbps anyway, so switched the 2
| |
13:45 | <gvy> :)
| |
13:45 | muppis, diags is not exactly namecalling :)

| |
13:55 | We got D-Link's wlan at work. I need to reboot it once a week to keep it running. It's only used by phones and probably only for email checking.
| |
14:02 | <VectorX> :)
| |
14:07 | <gvy> muppis, the most obvious cause usually manages to escape attention :)
| |
14:07 | <muppis> Mostly.
| |
14:08 | <gvy> muppis, maybe it's worth updating the firmware or changing to *wrt one (but I stick with factory one on dir-300 at home since it just works and I've got enough other toys to play with)
| |
14:09 | <muppis> Firmware is in the latest one and wrt doesn't support that model.
| |
14:10 | Or at least by dd-wrt, haven't checked openwrt.

14:20 | <alkisg> For some reason, when clients login to FAT clients, an /etc/cups/client.conf file is automatically generated, with "ServerName server-ip" as its contents. At logoff, it's erased.
| |
14:21 | That file prevents the clients from seeing the local printers though, as it overrides the default "ServerName localhost"
| |
14:21 | Any idea how to stop that file from being automatically generated, except than... creating a directory with that name? (that works but it's a very silly workaround...)
| |
14:24 | staffencasa has left IRC (staffencasa!~staffenca@128-193-149-198.oregonstate.edu, Ping timeout: 255 seconds) | |
14:26 | <muppis> Does it get generated if file exist?
| |
14:26 | <alkisg> Yes, and unfortunately chattr doesn't work with squashfs/tmpfs
| |
14:27 | At least with the client.conf directory hack, I can put printers in any fat client in the school, with dynamic ips etc, and anyone can see them... it's just a very silly workaround :(
| |
14:28 | <muppis> Well. If it works, why to mind it?
| |
14:29 | <alkisg> To create a proper how/solution/script for it, to have it work without any workarounds at all, to be easier for other people to do the same
| |
14:29 | I'm not only caring for myself :)
| |
14:29 | <muppis> I know.
| |
14:30 | May be you should look up that script (if it is a script) which generates that file and to a patch for that.
| |
14:31 | <alkisg> I was able to use inotifywait to see that something creates/deletes that file on login, but I wasn't able to see what script creates it
| |
14:45 | <muppis> I just upgraded my server to 11.10 and recreated chroot from scratch. After login to thin got empty panels and no menus at all, even I wiped user the home dir.

16:17 | what is lam in this context?
| |
16:17 | I am trying to solve my problems in advance :)
| |
16:18 | oh
| |
16:18 | ldap-account-manager
| |
16:18 | great.
| |
16:18 | I was thinking that way too...
| |
16:18 | <komunista> yes, ldap-account-manager
| |
16:19 | <tristezo2k> and setup ltsp clients to authenticate at the ltsp server
| |
16:19 | Will go that way.
| |
16:19 | Thanks komunista for your help :)
| |
16:23 | <komunista> tristezo2k: you have set the LTSP server for ldap
| |
16:24 | because, the LTSP server is machine, where are clients loged in
| |
16:25 | <gvy> tristezo2k, if all of your users work on a single terminal server, you have no urgent need to mess with ldap or whatever -- just create them locally on the server, and log in from any client
| |
16:27 | <tristezo2k> gvy: well, the need is that the persons who will use this setup
| |
16:27 | are quite technicall challenged
| |
16:27 | I can´t rely on asking them to log on the server and perform not even the simplest administration tasks
| |
16:28 | I might be better using webmin, now that I think of it
| |
16:29 | komunista: yes, I was planning to use openldap at the ltsp server or at other virtual machine.
| |
16:29 | <gvy> tristezo2k, that's just to reiterate: keep things simple
| |
16:30 | <tristezo2k> indeed... the kiss principle :)
| |
16:30 | Will go with webmin.
| |
16:30 | <gvy> there are lots of user friendly frontends for useradd(8), and openldap might prove to be more fragile even if vile bdb backend days are gone
| |
16:30 | if you can add a plain local user on the server, you should be able to log in with the password from a client
| |
16:31 | we used that feature to cut down on maintenance while migrating older workstations from windows
| |
16:31 | (using ALTSP)
| |
16:31 | <tristezo2k> Now that I think of it, what is the relationship between /opt/ltsp chroot with /etc/passwd users?
| |
16:32 | bear with me, this is the second day I work on ltsp
| |
16:32 | <gvy> chroot only serves to get an X server running on a client, roughly
| |
16:32 | the user processes are run on the app server (except for localapps)
| |
16:32 | tristezo2k, np :)
| |
16:32 | <tristezo2k> I understand that, in fact I found that I need a fat client
| |
16:32 | <gvy> ah.
| |
16:32 | <tristezo2k> since I bussiness needs to run softphone
| |
16:32 | at the clients
| |
16:32 | <gvy> that's a different story
| |
16:33 | <tristezo2k> and some other things, and clients are quite powerfull
| |
16:33 | <gvy> I've read of succeffsully using pulseaudio for recording with softphones in callcenters
| |
16:33 | but that might be trickier than getting fat
| |
16:33 | <tristezo2k> THe recording is solved at the asterisk
| |
16:33 | they are migrating a man hour eating WinXP instalation to ltsp
| |
16:34 | <gvy> I meant mic rather than permanent records :)
| |
16:34 | <tristezo2k> Mic?
| |
16:34 | <gvy> microphone
| |
16:34 | <tristezo2k> oh!
| |
16:34 | ok
| |
16:34 | <gvy> SIGSRY
| |
16:35 | well I've got almost no experience with localapps, then you might need ldap or kerberos auth indeed
| |
16:35 | <komunista> tristezo2k: I am using the ldap database for another purposes too, if you need it only for ltsp, the ldap is very, very big for this
| |
16:35 | <tristezo2k> agreed komunista
| |
16:35 | <gvy> +1
| |
16:35 | <tristezo2k> I think I will go with webmin
| |
16:35 | thanks a lot for your experiences :)
