Hi Linux folks. Remember me ... the guy with the ubuntu infinite login loop 
problem? I still have the same problem and I'm not further along in solving it 
because the guy who was supposed to do this PAYING JOB was a complete flake. 
Fortunately all I lost was time so. This is what I am looking for:
 
1. A human being who will step up to the plate and fix my beast.
 
2. I live near Sac State. Come to my place, do your magic to my satisfation, 
get paid by an agreed amount, I say Thank You, and that's it.
 
3. I DO NOT WANT ANY MORE ADVICE ON FIXING IT MYSELF!! I'm trying to avoid 
taking my beast to a computer store to be worked on by a Windows person.

I am sorry you are having difficulties, but you don't seem to be proceeding 
effectively toward resolving them. Most of the people on this mailing list are 
not local to Sacramento. Those who are may not be comfortable acting as 
consultants. Yelling (all caps) is not going to change the mailing list 
demographic. If you need a consultant and no one has offered from this list, 
perhaps you should google linux consultants to look for people explicitly 
offering such services. Otherwise, technical advice is what this mailing list 
is all about, and you should use it as such.

Tell you what I will do...
I am no computer person but I do have drive and try to help my fellow man.  I 
have compassion and understand your frustrations.  I don't want the money. I am 
a mechanic and although it will take me longer than some of these other lugod 
members it will be done one way or another.

Just let me know.

Jim

My time is limited, but I can try to take a stab at it.

What version of Ubuntu are you running?

[vox-tech] Can't reach a specific subnet

2011-06-13 Thread Alex Mandel
Last night while I was in the middle of working remotely, I couldn't
make any new connections to any of my 3 servers. The rest of the world
seems to be able to and it didn't drop my existing connection that I had
open in a terminal.

The servers in question can be checked by pulling up ice.ucdavis.edu or
maps.ice.ucdavis.edu

Right now I can't ping, trace, ssh or load websites from any of them
from my home connection via a netgear router and comcast internet
service. Traceroute seems to make it most of the way, I can get to other
servers in the same room on a different subnet.

Could this be a firewall somewhere, a bad routing table?
Problem is on at least 2 machines on my home network, both Ubuntu. Guess
I should try a house-mates windows machine but I have the suspicion it's
on the other end. I need at least some testable ideas before I can ask
the IT staff and get a reasonable response.

Thanks,
Alex

Dr. Scronek,

I suggest using Ubuntu on a stick. Boot with it. Copy your
data to an external drive. Run the Install Ubuntu and wipe
it clean! Start fresh.

Every consulting gig comes not only with potential for profit,
but also the risk of liability. We don't really know how bad
your system is, so I would say that anyone who agrees on a fixed
price may be in for more work that he initially bargained for, especially
considering that you are tired of fixing the problem and you may
have foobar'ed your system beyond wizard fixes.
