| [17:34] <pembs> could someone explain why i seem to have lost 7GB of space, please. i have 160GB hard drive (ie in reality 149+); i have heron installed and moved in some files gparted confimrs i am using 10Gb plus 5-77 as swap file so i should have 133gb free. iWhen i browse folders though I only have 126 free. I've noticed this since the install I seem to be missing about 7gb. | |
| [17:35] <blue-frog> pembs: ext3 keeps 5% for root | |
| [17:35] <pembs> blue-frog: ok thanks, so thats permanently reserved? | |
| [17:36] <blue-frog> man tune2fs if you want to have less kept, but beware having some space leftover helps your computer | |
| [17:36] <pembs> thanks | |
| [17:38] <pembs> another question. I cant seem to get terminal to see my external drive. the drive mounts and i can use the folders to move things around, but whenever i have typed a terminal command, I can't seem to get it to communicate with the external drive. I did one command, I can't recall which to tell me the external media and the drive came up in blue | |

| [22:29] <sobersabre> hola, ompaul | |
| [22:30] <sobersabre> ompaul: more info on my system: it's a clean install of 8.04 + all upgrades upto today. | |
| [22:30] <sobersabre> I made sure I've generated the keys AFTRER upgrading the damn sshd | |
| [22:31] <sobersabre> I've pushed the public and private key to the debian client. | |
| [22:31] <sobersabre> just in case ubuntu doesn't like debian-generated ones. | |
| [22:32] <sobersabre> and made them ~/.ssh/id_dsa (As private key), and owned by connecting user, and moded as 600. | |
| [22:32] <sobersabre> the public key's been added to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys | |
| [22:33] <sobersabre> I've even created a link /root/.ssh/authorized_keys2 | |
| [22:33] <sobersabre> just in case... | |
| [22:34] <ompaul> which is the server? | |
| [22:35] <ompaul> ubuntu is server? | |
| [22:36] * ompaul waits a moment | |
| [22:36] <ompaul> sobersabre, ? | |
| [22:37] <sobersabre> yep.. | |
| [22:37] <sobersabre> ubuntu is the server. | |
| [22:37] <sobersabre> debian 4.0 (also updated && upgraded ) is a client, connecting as root | |
| [22:38] <ompaul> ok so you made a comment about ~/.ssh/id_dsa | |
| [22:38] <ompaul> personally I use rsa but it should be of no merit ;-) | |
| [22:39] <sobersabre> ompaul: lemme try rsa... | |
| [22:39] <sobersabre> if it works, something is fishy in ssh package. | |
| [22:39] <ompaul> sobersabre, it makes no odds what is wrong is the key is not in right package | |
| [22:39] <ompaul> sorry | |
| [22:39] <ompaul> place | |
| [22:40] <ompaul> sobersabre, firstly openssh-server is running on ubuntu? | |
| [22:40] <ompaul> sobersabre, remember I don't know what your keystrokes were so I don't know if you got it all right (well obviously you did not ;-() | |
| [22:41] <sobersabre> ompaul: RSA key worked. | |
| [22:41] <sobersabre> ha! | |
| [22:41] <sobersabre> so... it IS a mess in SSH package. | |
| [22:41] <sobersabre> how do I bugreport ? | |
| [22:42] <ompaul> launchpad.net | |
| [22:42] <sobersabre> I think I've got an account there... | |
| [22:42] <ompaul> you will do if you don't ;-) | |
| [22:42] <ompaul> hehehe | |
| [22:42] <ompaul> I'll leave it with you | |
| [22:42] <ompaul> have fun | |
| [22:42] <sobersabre> thanks for "holding hands" :) | |
| [22:43] <sobersabre> I'm pissed off, I thought I'd finish till now something I'm only now starting :( | |
| [22:43] <sobersabre> I think it should be titled "dsa keys generated by ubuntu-8.04 openssh package are regected as being from vulnerable server. | |
| [22:45] <ompaul> no it would say that it was rejecting it | |
| [22:45] <ompaul> what it said was it could not find them | |
| [22:46] <sobersabre> hmm... it's weirder. | |
| [22:50] <ompaul> sobersabre, I would nuke the dsa keys and start again | |
| [22:50] <ompaul> sobersabre, you can't afford to get it wrong | |
| [22:57] <sobersabre> ompaul: this is not the 1st time or day I am using keys. | |
| [22:57] <sobersabre> I didn't do any errors on that one. | |
| [22:57] <sobersabre> I made 3 repeatitions on generation, copy, retry. | |
| [22:57] <ompaul> sobersabre, you got bug | |
| [22:57] <sobersabre> so, I am CERTAIN the problem is with DSA handling. | |
| [22:58] <sobersabre> I don't have time to debug it really. | |
| [22:58] <sobersabre> so, I've reported. | |
| [22:59] <sobersabre> ompaul: can you try this, and confirm I'm wrong ? | |
| [22:59] <sobersabre> I mean try using dsa key, and login as root with it... ? | |
| [23:00] <ompaul> na I don't do root | |
| [23:00] <ompaul> at all | |
| [23:00] <ompaul> ever | |
| [23:01] <ompaul> my virtual consoles do not allow virtual root | |
| [23:01] <ompaul> but real ones do :) | |
| [23:02] <sobersabre> this only means you're surely not into clusters.... | |
| [23:02] <sobersabre> I don't root into open servers. | |
| [23:02] <sobersabre> but intern. networks, etc. is something else. | |
| [23:04] <ompaul> sobersabre, I have multiple desktop servers and I server multiple desktops ;-) with ancillary services | |
| [23:05] <ompaul> so correct I don't do clusters given the geographical nature of the company | |
| [23:05] <sobersabre> hmmm... whatever the 1st sentence means... | |
| [23:05] <sobersabre> :) | |
| [23:06] <ompaul> sobersabre, I don't serve applications much, I serve wmaker desktops or gnome or kde depending on the person / role | |
| [23:06] <sobersabre> you mean you're running a GDM/XDM over IP ? | |
| [23:07] <sobersabre> I mean, remote graphic logins... | |
| [23:07] <sobersabre> or VNC ? | |
