| 09:20.06 | mindbendr | I have a problem with Overland Arcvault 48 LTO 4 tape storage, when I try to access it with mt or mtx, it says input / output error. in the kernel messages at boot, there are SCSI errors indicated that it tries to negoiate the bandwith/speed and gives parity errors. Is there a way to fix the problem that I think the SCSI card is causing? |
| 09:20.33 | mindbendr | the SCSI card is working with some other tape devices |

| 09:56.53 | Leeds | bilarh_: for what it's worth, I just spoke to my estate agent in London and he reckoned prices in London were holding up relatively well against the national fall |
| 09:58.22 | bilarh_ | leeds: turkey wanting to abolish christmas? |
| 09:59.29 | rhowe_ | popey: Yep |
| 09:59.32 | Leeds | I was asking for a valuation, for a visa application - a new tenent has moved in today, and I'm not planning to sell any time soon |
| 09:59.52 | Blapto | I'm sure turkeys hate Christmas |
| 10:00.00 | AndyMillar | Leeds: they'll fall eventually |
| 10:00.05 | AndyMillar | but for the moment, it's stable |
| 10:00.50 | bilarh_ | andymillar: is it? the halifax index is down almost 10% on a year on year basis |
| 10:01.04 | bilarh_ | note, not using the 3-month average year on year index that they report in the media |
| 10:01.42 | bilarh_ | that means that on an "average house" (i know there isn't such a thing), you would be sitting on a 18k paper loss since last year |
| 10:01.50 | Leeds | bilarh_: the point being made was that things in London are more stable than the national figures |
| 10:02.51 | wethrin | Up here, they're not falling too much. But it wasn't so overpriced to start with |
| 10:03.19 | zaarg | i bought a 24-inch iMac. it's my first ever mac. |
| 10:04.15 | j0nr | can anyone in here explain difference between setting up vnc where you either log into an existing session, or start a new one? |
| 10:04.17 | bilarh_ | leeds: that will change soon :) |
| 10:04.27 | Leeds | bilarh_: oh, that's quite possible |
| 10:04.37 | bilarh_ | j0nr: you mean using xdm? |
| 10:04.47 | j0nr | i am not sure...do i? |
| 10:05.14 | bilarh_ | j0nr: do you mean that when you connect to vnc, you want to be presented with "username + password" prompt? |
| 10:05.29 | bilarh_ | j0nr: that does authentication against /etc/passwd (or whatever) rather than .vncpasswd? |
| 10:05.34 | j0nr | bilarh_: basically i want to set up vnc capabilities on a server at home but there seems to be many different ways to do it and i'm not sure which is best for me |
| 10:06.10 | antiphase | LEarn how to do what you want using SSH then be done with it ;) |
| 10:06.10 | AndyMillar | bilarh_: rental prices, they're not changing :( |
| 10:06.21 | bilarh_ | leeds: transaction volumes are hugely down, the for sale stock is increasing rapidly, people can't get huge mortgages any more etc etc... there's only one way for prices from here |
| 10:06.25 | j0nr | i'm on ubuntu, and as far as i know, there is a vncserver already installed, i.e. you can just go and 'enable' remote desktop in the menu |
| 10:06.36 | Leeds | bilarh_: I don't deny that for a second |
| 10:06.39 | bilarh_ | andymillar: so what, my rent is about 60% of what an IO mortgage would be on the house i live in :) |
| 10:06.40 | AndyMillar | mainly because so many people will be on buy-to-let |
| 10:06.50 | AndyMillar | and their mortgage repayments won't be changing |
| 10:07.18 | j0nr | bilarh_: is /etc/passwd a better option than .vncpasswd? |
| 10:07.24 | Leeds | the rent on my place is up something like 7% year-on-year |
| 10:07.27 | bilarh_ | j0nr: ah in that case, unless you want to do desktop sharing, i'd just type "vncpasswd" at the prompt first and then type "vncserver". you should be able to connect with vncviewer after that |
| 10:07.28 | antiphase | That just means all the pikey buy-to-let bastards that drove the prices up will go bankrupt and normal people will be able to afford houses again |
| 10:07.53 | bilarh_ | antiphase for president :) |
| 10:08.02 | Leeds | and indeed, my mortgage hasn't significantly changed, apart from the 1% or so which changes as the interest rate does |
| 10:08.06 | Leeds | uh, 5% or so |
| 10:08.12 | j0nr | bilarh_:i am currently ssh'd into the box, can i enable it from there? cannot do X forwarding |
| 10:08.25 | Leeds | antiphase: I bought, lived in the place for 5 years, then emigrated and put it up for rent... |
| 10:08.28 | bilarh_ | j0nr: yeah you don't need x forwarding for vnc |
| 10:09.05 | j0nr | bilarh_: no but to enable it, the only way i know is to go to the gui menu and check the box...which obviously i cant do from here |
| 10:09.14 | bilarh_ | andymillar: what a landlords mortgage payment is bears little correlation to how much rent he can charge, i think |
| 10:09.15 | xteddy | peeks at the palantir, then check some notes... paws around... hmm, looks like no. |
| 10:09.21 | bilarh_ | j0nr: type vncserver |
| 10:09.24 | j0nr | but setting vncpasswd and vncserver will enable it will it? |
| 10:09.34 | j0nr | bilarh_: ok will try it out...thanks!! |
| 10:10.37 | Leeds | vncpasswd will set a password... vncserver will start a headless session |
| 10:11.11 | j0nr | bilarh_: ok this is where i got previously confused....vncpasswd and vncserver say command not found, i.e. not installed... what is installed then? As I know if i was there i could go through the menus and enable remote desktop and it would work...so something is already installed. |
| 10:11.47 | Leeds | that's a very different question |
| 10:11.47 | bilarh_ | j0nr: ah, i think the ubuntu desktop sharing works differently... it's not vncserver as such, I believe, but I can't remember what it's called either |
| 10:12.17 | j0nr | bilarh_: ok so i could ignore that and install a vncserver of my choice, say tightvncserver |
| 10:12.20 | j0nr | ? |
| 10:12.24 | bilarh_ | j0nr: become root, type apt-get install vnc4server |
| 10:12.30 | bilarh_ | j0nr: yeah could do that :) |
| 10:12.49 | j0nr | bilarh_: see...many different options...but do they all do the same thing? |
| 10:13.13 | bilarh_ | j0nr: apt-get install vnc4server will install the vnc4server package, i believe it probably comes with a client too |
| 10:13.46 | j0nr | bilarh_: ok will try it out... thanks again!! |
| 10:14.54 | AndyMillar | bilarh_: xdmcp? |
| 10:15.24 | bilarh_ | andymillar: ah yeah that's what i maent :P |
| 10:15.30 | bilarh_ | j0nr: no problem |
| 10:15.53 | bilarh_ | actually, vnc works rather well nowadays imo |
| 10:16.08 | bilarh_ | i use vnc through inetd and xdcmp |
| 10:16.38 | bilarh_ | only problem with that is that you can't set the desired resolution of your session, so i've ended up listening on three different ports with different resolution settings |
| 10:16.51 | Leeds | I use it over ssh over the internet, daily |
| 10:17.18 | bilarh_ | leeds: yeah it's quite cool... my only gripe is that the compression of it sucks... unless i use ssh -C it's unusable |
| 10:17.47 | Leeds | pretty usable for me |
| 10:17.57 | zaarg | i prefer xrdp |
| 10:18.03 | zaarg | it's essentially a wrapper for vnc though |
| 10:18.14 | Leeds | it's possible that the tightvnc built-in tunnel is doing ssh compression |
| 10:20.39 | Leeds | also worth noting that you can do no-password login by copying the vncpasswd file from the server to the client |
| 10:24.57 | j0nr | ok...how about this...I am ssh'd into one bax....there is another box on the same lan that I have been setting this vncserver up on. Is it possible to vnc this second box? |
| 10:25.19 | j0nr | I have ssh'd and also created a tunnel thru to this second box (i think!) |
| 10:26.52 | j0nr | going thru one box into the other...if you see what i mean |
| 10:27.41 | Leeds | sure, you can do that |
| 10:28.04 | Leeds | you only need one ssh connection, because you can tunnel from one machine via another to a third |
| 10:28.39 | Leeds | the tightvnc viewer has built-in support... you just do "vncviewer -via sshablemachine vncmachine[:0]" |
| 10:28.47 | j0nr | in putty i connect using the address of the server....then i added a tunnel forwarding the vnc port to the ip addy of the third machine... |
| 10:28.57 | Leeds | the :0 is optional, may be different, depending on your setup |
| 10:29.01 | Leeds | putty? |
| 10:29.18 | j0nr | bare in mind i am on a windows box here and have to open a vnc viewer separately |
| 10:29.34 | Blapto | Putty does port fowarding |
| 10:30.04 | j0nr | yeah i know...wondering if i have it set up correctly... forwarding local port 5900 to ip.of.third.machine:5900 |
| 10:30.26 | j0nr | then open vnc viewer and enter localhost:1 ? |
| 10:31.35 | j0nr | but doesnt quite work |
| 10:44.46 | bilarh_ | localhost:0 |
| 10:44.50 | bilarh_ | 5901 is :1 |
| 10:45.47 | bilarh_ | j0nr: also try telnet to port 5900 on your local machine and see if it connects (even the windows telnet client should support this afaik) |
| 10:48.33 | Blapto | If it's vista you have to install telnet, which caught me out last week |
| 10:52.29 | j0nr | bilarh_: hmm think I am confusing things a bit...trying to set it up to use xdmcp |
| 10:52.52 | j0nr | now i cant connect to it from the local machine |
| 10:55.35 | bilarh_ | j0nr: hrm.. now i'm confused... do you *want* to use xdmcp or not? :) |

| 12:32.27 | j0nr | Connected to 192.168.0.4. |
| 12:32.27 | j0nr | Escape character is '^]'. |
| 12:32.30 | j0nr | Connection closed by foreign host. |
| 12:32.35 | bilarh_ | j0nr: cool, that works then |
| 12:32.38 | boudiccas | they make me look more distinguished and having more gravitas |
| 12:32.38 | bilarh_ | now, on putty |
| 12:32.44 | j0nr | does it? lol |
| 12:32.58 | j0nr | whats it meant to do? |
| 12:33.01 | boudiccas | bilarh_; nope |
| 12:33.13 | bilarh_ | in the local port forwarding, forward your local port 5901 to pc3:5901 (replace pc3 with the ip address, to be safe) |
| 12:33.30 | bilarh_ | j0nr: no that just shows that vncserver is listening on port 5901 on pc3 |
| 12:33.51 | j0nr | bilarh_: have done that port forwarding |
| 12:34.14 | bilarh_ | j0nr: ok, now on your windows machine, type "telnet localhost 5901" in a command prompt |
| 12:34.26 | bilarh_ | don't just "start/run" it, as you wont see the output |
| 12:35.30 | j0nr | bilarh_: it opened a telnet window then closed |
| 12:35.49 | bilarh_ | hrm.. did it say it connected anywhere? |
| 12:35.55 | bilarh_ | did you run it from a command prompt? |
| 12:36.00 | j0nr | bilarh_: its staying open this time |
| 12:36.14 | bilarh_ | ah, does it say "connecting" or "connected"? |
| 12:36.18 | j0nr | the cmd window has the title Telnet localhost with just a prompt |
| 12:36.22 | j0nr | says nothing... |
| 12:36.34 | bilarh_ | try pressing enter? |
| 12:36.40 | j0nr | then reverts back to normal cmd... C:\ blah blah |
| 12:36.47 | bilarh_ | ok, now |
| 12:36.48 | j0nr | drops out |
| 12:36.51 | bilarh_ | run your vncviewer |
| 12:37.02 | bilarh_ | and type in 127.0.0.1:5901 as the name |
| 12:37.05 | bilarh_ | or possibly :1 |
| 12:38.18 | j0nr | some say connectio refused, some say unexpectedly closed |
| 12:38.36 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Thats spooky the website appears to be rebuilding itself all on its own? |
| 12:38.37 | j0nr | conneciton established, connection closed |
| 12:38.57 | bilarh_ | j0nr: is that telnet output or vncviewer output? |
| 12:39.17 | j0nr | bilarh_: telnet window doesn't stay open, reverts to cmd promt |
| 12:39.21 | j0nr | prompt* |
| 12:39.46 | bilarh_ | j0nr: test the vnc client |
| 12:39.58 | j0nr | have been, those are the errors |
| 12:40.08 | bilarh_ | ah right |
| 12:40.31 | j0nr | have been trying it like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402&highlight=edit+xdmcp |
| 12:40.35 | bilarh_ | in that case i don't know :) |
| 12:44.32 | j0nr | hmm very bugging... |
| 12:44.43 | j0nr | thank you for helping though! I appreciate it |
| 12:44.49 | bilarh_ | no probs |
| 12:45.12 | bilarh_ | if you've got a windows firewall, try disabling it |
| 12:45.19 | bilarh_ | actually, scrap taht |
| 12:46.41 | boudiccas | dick_turpin; maybe its being restored by your host providor |
| 12:47.13 | bilarh_ | boudiccas: go for bright white :) |
| 12:48.08 | j0nr | work network seems horrible...takes ages to make a simple ssh connection |
| 12:48.15 | j0nr | plus i have zero admin rights |
| 12:48.38 | j0nr | i can vnc the first server no problem...its just trying to get thru to that second one...ah well. |
| 12:49.05 | bilarh_ | it's probably your putty forwarding that is wrong in that case |
| 12:49.47 | AndyMillar | j0nr: probably shit dns |
| 12:50.00 | j0nr | its definately L5901 to ip.of.pc3:5901 |
| 12:50.19 | j0nr | AndyMillar: what does that mean? |
| 12:50.34 | j0nr | 2008-07-10 13:47:00Opening forwarded connection to 192.168.0.4:5901 |
| 12:50.34 | j0nr | 2008-07-10 13:47:01Forwarded port closed |
| 12:50.40 | j0nr | thats putty's log |
| 12:50.56 | j0nr | so it looks like it does open it |
| 12:51.04 | j0nr | maybe the pc is set up wrong... |
| 12:51.24 | j0nr | how do i tell that vnc4server is running? |
| 12:51.34 | Blapto | can you connect to port 5901 on the 3rd server from the 2nd? |
| 12:51.36 | bilarh_ | ps -ef | grep vnc |
| 12:51.39 | AndyMillar | j0nr: the server you're sshing to might be waiting for a dns lookup on your IP to time out |
| 12:51.43 | Blapto | Or lsof -i | grep LISTEN |
| 12:51.47 | AndyMillar | (does your network have proper rdns setup?) |
| 12:51.48 | bilarh_ | blapto: yeah |
| 12:52.38 | antiphase | netstat -lnp you freaks |
| 12:52.46 | AndyMillar | i'm with antiphase here |
| 12:54.25 | j0nr | hmm |
| 12:54.51 | j0nr | looks a bit clueless |
| 12:55.02 | j0nr | xinetd is listening on port 5901 |
| 12:55.11 | bilarh_ | ah, xinetd :D |
| 12:55.18 | bilarh_ | what's your config look like? |
| 12:55.23 | j0nr | for xine? |
| 12:55.26 | bilarh_ | and does it say anything in e.g. /var/log/messages? |
| 12:55.30 | bilarh_ | yeah for xinetd |
| 12:55.33 | j0nr | service Xvnc |
| 12:55.33 | j0nr | { type = UNLISTED |
| 12:55.33 | j0nr | <PROTECTED> |
| 12:55.33 | j0nr | <PROTECTED> |
| 12:55.33 | j0nr | <PROTECTED> |

| 12:55.56 | bilarh_ | yep |
| 12:56.17 | j0nr | that file is saved in /etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc |
| 12:56.18 | bilarh_ | this is mine |
| 12:56.22 | bilarh_ | service vnc |

| 12:56.26 | bilarh_ | } |
| 12:56.31 | bilarh_ | arse, with better formatting |
| 12:56.36 | antiphase | With more pastebin |
| 12:56.47 | bilarh_ | pastebin is gay |
| 12:57.08 | antiphase | So are people that paste configs into IRC channels ;) |
| 12:57.22 | bilarh_ | and people who complain about it :P |
| 12:59.43 | dick_turpin | Ooh I go away for 2 minutes and things liven up |
| 13:00.44 | bilarh_ | it's gone quiet again no |
| 13:00.45 | bilarh_ | w |
| 13:01.14 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Na I turned the sef component off |
| 13:02.10 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Trouble is I'm back to 300ft long URL's |
| 13:02.38 | j0nr | log_on_failure += USERID... should that + be there? |
| 13:04.56 | bilarh_ | it is on mine |
| 13:05.31 | dick_turpin | bilarh_: What is? |
| 13:05.46 | bilarh_ | dick_turpin: le plus |
| 13:06.01 | bilarh_ | mmm, coffee breath |
| 13:07.56 | dick_turpin | bilarh_: Java for me please rated 5 |
| 13:08.08 | j0nr | right, getting bored of it now...removed xinetd...will just have a simple vnc remote desktop and forget the logging in bit |
| 13:08.16 | bilarh_ | dick_turpin: se or enterprise edition? |
| 13:08.25 | bilarh_ | j0nr: good plan, it shoudl be easier :) |
| 13:08.40 | dick_turpin | bilarh_: Idiot :-P |
| 13:08.43 | j0nr | can i just enable remote desktop from command line? |
| 13:11.15 | bilarh_ | no idea actually |
| 13:11.21 | bilarh_ | most likely, but don't know how |
