rootkea: what does 'ping localhost' resolve to in a terminal?
rootkea 2017-02-02 04:46:34
somiaj: ping's working and resolving to 127.0.0.1
rootkea 2017-02-02 04:48:14
A non-related doubt, are the #debian channels on OFTC and Freenode are diferent? I can see many OFTC #debian folks here
somiaj 2017-02-02 04:48:24
!oftc move
dpkg 2017-02-02 04:48:25
irc.debian.org moved to OFTC on June 4th 2006, see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/05/msg00012.html. Operators and bots (see ) will remain on both networks for the foreseeable future; you're welcome to either move to OFTC with i.d.o or stay on Freenode. Questions? Ask in #debian on one or other network. See also http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2006/04/msg00333.html

rootkea: looks like the /etc/hosts of that system is broken. localhost should always resolve to 127.0.0.1 (or maybe the IPv6 equivalent?).
somiaj 2017-02-02 04:48:51
rootkea: #debian is the only channel on freenode, all specialized channels are on oftc
somiaj 2017-02-02 04:49:23
petn-randall: it looked to me like it was resolving correctly and midori is doing something strange.
rootkea 2017-02-02 04:49:43
petn-randall: It is! I mean on Firefox and Chromium I can access the local server using string "localhost"
somiaj 2017-02-02 04:50:09
I see some bugs about midori having trouble with local html files, file:// but I don't htink that is the issue here
n4dir 2017-02-02 04:50:12
i doubt it will help, but perhaps starting midori from a terminal-emulator will give some info
rootkea 2017-02-02 04:50:15
It's Midori specific thing I guess. Are there any Midori users who might have a clue?
petn-randall 2017-02-02 04:50:23
!midori
dpkg 2017-02-02 04:50:23
Midori is a lightweight graphical web browser based on WebKit. Not part of the Debian 8 "Jessie" release due to bug #759959. http://twotoasts.de/index.php/midori/ #midori on irc.freenode.net.
rootkea 2017-02-02 04:50:50
n4dir: Nice idea! I'm doing that now!
rootkea 2017-02-02 04:51:17
petn-randall: How's that possible? :O I installed it using apt-get install
somiaj 2017-02-02 04:51:29
rootkea: I don't see anything that is obvious, you are welcome to report a bug, and I'm assuming midori connects to other places just fine?
somiaj 2017-02-02 04:51:32

somiaj 2017-02-02 04:51:47
rootkea: backports is not offically jessie.
rootkea 2017-02-02 04:51:50
My bad!
somiaj 2017-02-02 04:52:10
rootkea: is your webserver only running on localhost?
rootkea 2017-02-02 04:52:31
somiaj: Yes.
somiaj 2017-02-02 04:53:22
rootkea: okay was wondering if you could test say another name in /etc/hosts and point it at another ip
somiaj 2017-02-02 04:54:09
rootkea: maybe try this. add localhost.com to your /etc/hosts file so that resolves to 127.0.0.1 and see if that works, maybe midori isn't liking localhost as a domain name because it doesn't have a .something on it.
somiaj 2017-02-02 04:54:26
rootkea: just a random guess, but something to try
rootkea 2017-02-02 04:54:36
Also a follow question to earlier one regarding OFTC and Freenode, so it seems people are distributed on OFTC and Freenode. I mean should I also ask this on #debian on OFTC or the messages in this channel are visible to folks on #debian OFTC?
somiaj 2017-02-02 04:55:08
I also see localhost as an alias for both 127.0.0.1 and ::1 (ipv6), could be midori is trying to connect via ipv6 and not 127.0.0.1 getting to the correct place?
somiaj 2017-02-02 04:55:34
rootkea: don't cross post. Since you asked here staying here is fine. In the future you can ask questions on oftc if you awnt.
centrx 2017-02-02 04:55:48
rootkea: Many people are in both channels
somiaj 2017-02-02 04:55:54
rootkea: the ops are very similar on both networks and users can choose to be on both networks or not depending on how they like to irc.
somiaj 2017-02-02 04:56:15
the freenode channel is a bit more active than oftc, but similar support happens in both.
rootkea 2017-02-02 04:56:27
somiaj: Got that! Thank you!
rootkea 2017-02-02 05:00:37
n4dir: Starting Midori from terminal didn't help. I also tried -d flag for diagnostics but couldn't see a relevant thing on terminal.
n4dir 2017-02-02 05:00:53
ah, a pity.
rootkea 2017-02-02 05:04:20
somiaj: I added the localhost.com to /etc/hosts. Do I need to do something so that the changes get reflected in Firefox (or any browser)
rootkea 2017-02-02 05:04:37
I restarted apache2
somiaj 2017-02-02 05:08:05
rootkea: shouldn't have to do anything, as this is the resolver and indpendent of your server/client
somiaj 2017-02-02 05:08:16
rootkea: once you add that ping localhost.com and see that it resolves to 127.0.0.1
somiaj 2017-02-02 05:08:46
rootkea: now if midori has its own internal resolver, this can cause issues, but unsure on the details here.
cfkane 2017-02-02 05:37:49
Hello all. I have a Debian-8.6 machine running fine as an LTSP server for a dozen clients. Works great. In order to reduce the load on it I'm trying to get some standalone debian machines to boot and get their IP address from the server. That works now works too but I can't get the standalone to route to the outside. The LTSP clients have no trouble. What part of routing on the LTSP server do I monkey with to let it route the standalone client? Thanks so mu
cfkane 2017-02-02 05:37:49

cfkane 2017-02-02 05:39:55
Just to be clear the standalone machine gets nothing from the server except its IP address. Need to add a route to it too.
Ormu 2017-02-02 05:40:02
leaseweb NL mirror is clogged?
tw 2017-02-02 05:40:16
cfkane: do you also add a default route?
cfkane 2017-02-02 05:41:36
I have tried that but must have been wrong. would the standalone's default be the IP of the server or of the server's default route?
tw 2017-02-02 05:43:30
cfkane: Depends on your network. I would normally guess the latter unless you want to be routing through the ltsp server for some reason (masqerade, etc).
