| jnc | hope some of you are familiar with Gutsy server, the setup option is "install" or "cli"... is cli the same as the old "server" install from feisty? | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| jnc | or even more minimal than server | 00:13 |
| jnc | my goal is to set up a Xen box | 00:14 |
| AnRkey | how do i allow a user to only have sftp instead of ssh access on his/her account? | 01:02 |
| AnRkey | in other words, is there a shell that i can set that will only allow sftp instead of ssh? | 01:03 |
| mralphabet | AnRkey: I think you can change their shell to /dev/null and it won't let them log in, I don't know if that also blocks sftp | 01:07 |
| AnRkey | ok | 01:07 |
| AnRkey | thanks | 01:07 |
| AnRkey | gonna give it a bash | 01:07 |
| AnRkey | pardon the pun | 01:13 |
| AnRkey | mralphabet, nope, I have tried that now and it fails at login | 01:26 |
| AnRkey | switch it back and it's fine | 01:27 |
| AnRkey | any other idea's? | 01:27 |
| * nealmcb cheers for ivoks | 01:35 | |
| jnc | AnRkey: do not use /dev/null | 01:35 |
| jnc | use /bin/false | 01:35 |
| AnRkey | jnc, tried that too | 01:36 |
| jnc | the other way is change 'x' for password to '!' | 01:36 |
| jnc | i.e. disable shadow password and the account | 01:36 |
| jnc | sorry I didn't read | 01:36 |
| jnc | AnRkey: you want password based authentication from /etc/passwd, or would ssh key work too? | 01:37 |
| AnRkey | i need to replace ftp for "special" people so keys are not a good idea | 01:38 |
| jnc | oh who cares if they have ssh access, just set their shell to log them out | 01:38 |
| jnc | non? | 01:38 |
| AnRkey | that could work | 01:39 |
| stiv2k | what is scsi_eh_1 ? | 01:39 |
| AnRkey | ~/.bashrc? | 01:39 |
| jnc | .bash_profile for bash | 01:39 |
| AnRkey | echo exit >> ~/.bashrc? | 01:39 |
| stiv2k | its popping up every couple of seconds in `top` | 01:40 |
| AnRkey | for those users that is? | 01:40 |
| jnc | AnRkey: it's actually .bash_login or something | 01:40 |
| AnRkey | ok | 01:40 |
| * AnRkey fiddles some more | 01:40 | |
| jnc | you can try it yourself, just be sure to throw a "sleep 10s" in there | 01:40 |
| jnc | otherwise it's bad times | 01:40 |
| jnc | or create a crap account to play with | 01:40 |
| jnc | I don't want to hear you lock yourself out :) | 01:41 |
| stiv2k | anybody know? | 01:42 |
| jnc | stiv2k: kernel stuff | 01:42 |
| stiv2k | jnc: ok... just wondering | 01:42 |
| jnc | put on the tin foil hat if it bothers you :P | 01:43 |
| jnc | shiny side up! | 01:43 |
| stiv2k | basically | 01:43 |
| stiv2k | my server seems kind of slow since the upgrade to gutsy | 01:43 |
| stiv2k | and i cant figure out why | 01:43 |
| jnc | is swap enabled? | 01:44 |
| stiv2k | like it will lag when streaming a movie or even typing in the terminal thru ssh | 01:44 |
| jnc | oh | 01:44 |
| stiv2k | i dont really know | 01:44 |
| jnc | and check your DNS settings | 01:44 |
| stiv2k | nameserver 192.168.1.1 | 01:44 |
| stiv2k | like it was fine yesterday | 01:44 |
| jnc | swapon -s will list your active swap space | 01:44 |
| stiv2k | but when i upgraded to gutsy it seems much laggier | 01:44 |
| stiv2k | /dev/sda5 partition 465844 220 -1 | 01:45 |
| stiv2k | any other ideas, jnc ? | 01:46 |
| jnc | free -m | 01:46 |
| stiv2k | total used free shared buffers cached | 01:46 |
| stiv2k | Mem: 248 244 4 0 3 75 | 01:46 |
| stiv2k | -/+ buffers/cache: 166 82 | 01:46 |
| stiv2k | Swap: 454 0 454 | 01:46 |
| jnc | uh | 01:47 |
| jnc | you only have 256mb ram? | 01:47 |
| stiv2k | yea | 01:47 |
| stiv2k | but it didn't really seem to be a problem up until now | 01:47 |
| jnc | nah, 75mb in the cache should be fine | 01:47 |
| jnc | but a bump to 512mb physical would help you out a lot | 01:47 |
| stiv2k | the machine only supports a maximum of 128 mb per DIMM slot | 01:48 |
| stiv2k | and there are only 2 DIMMs | 01:48 |
| stiv2k | (it's old) | 01:48 |
| jnc | ha. okay hmm | 01:48 |
| stiv2k | i see scsi_eh_1 and hald-addon-stor showing up on top every couple of seconds | 01:49 |
| jnc | HAL is kind of weird for a server, but whatever | 01:49 |
| stiv2k | jnc: dont know how it got there | 01:49 |
| stiv2k | jnc: do you think i should get rid of it? | 01:49 |
| jnc | it's part of the new Ubuntu system | 01:49 |
| stiv2k | oh | 01:50 |
| jnc | honestly if you're running on a box with 256mb RAM, you may be happier running Debian Etch | 01:50 |
| stiv2k | why? | 01:50 |
| jnc | it's basically the same without the nice kernels and hald crap | 01:50 |
| stiv2k | ah | 01:51 |
| jnc | I know it was working for you before, so that's one thought, going with the earlier version | 01:51 |
| jnc | or Ubuntu LTS 6.06 | 01:51 |
| stiv2k | well i was running feisty yesterday and it was fine | 01:51 |
| stiv2k | then i did the release upgrade and things seem slower | 01:51 |
| jnc | bad DNS settings can cause lag | 01:52 |
| stiv2k | well the only nameserver i'm using is the router | 01:52 |
| jnc | /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname, /etc/resolv.conf | 01:52 |
| stiv2k | oh ok | 01:53 |
| stiv2k | straight to paste in here? | 01:53 |
| jnc | if you have search justkidding.com and your host is wax.myears.net, then trying to look up wax will hang for a while | 01:53 |
| jnc | because it tries wax.justkidding.com first | 01:53 |
| stiv2k | steve@galatea:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf | 01:54 |
| stiv2k | nameserver 192.168.1.1 | 01:54 |
| jnc | yeah don't paste the whole thing | 01:54 |
| stiv2k | 127.0.0.1 localhost | 01:54 |
| stiv2k | 127.0.0.1 galatea.neoturbine.net neoturbine.net | 01:54 |
| stiv2k | 192.168.1.10 galatea.neoturbine.net neoturbine.net | 01:54 |
| jnc | what... | 01:54 |
| stiv2k | i dont know if its configured properly | 01:54 |
| jnc | get rid of the line with your IP address | 01:54 |
| AnRkey | jnc, i run a box with 128 at work and it's a proxy for 100+ teachers | 01:55 |
| jnc | AnRkey: I just don't go near hardware that might be problematic, is all | 01:55 |
| stiv2k | jnc: there's also some ipv6 stuff in the /etc/hosts | 01:55 |
| stiv2k | and finally, | 01:56 |
| stiv2k | steve@galatea:~$ cat /etc/hostname | 01:56 |
| stiv2k | galatea.neoturbine.net | 01:56 |
| jnc | clients don't pay me for stuff that costs less, they pay for stuff that works when I'm not around :) | 01:56 |
| jnc | stiv2k: okay your /etc/hostname should contain only "galatea" | 01:56 |
| stiv2k | jnc: ok...why is that | 01:56 |
| jnc | stiv2k: /etc/hosts should have one line for localhost, one line for your hosts.... | 01:57 |
| jnc | 127.0.0.1 galatea.neoturbine.net galatea | 01:57 |
| jnc | so that's just wrong. | 01:57 |
| jnc | go fix that, reboot, see if it's any better | 01:57 |
| * stiv2k shrugs | 02:05 | |
| stiv2k | i dunno if its the limitations of my wireless network, the shitty wireless driver i'm using on this laptop, or the server | 02:07 |
| stiv2k | but im only downloading at 120- - 170 KB/s from the server | 02:08 |
| stiv2k | when normally i'd get like 2.5 MB/s | 02:08 |
| stiv2k | rofl!!! | 02:16 |
| stiv2k | jnc: you're going to like this | 02:16 |
| stiv2k | i figured out the problem | 02:16 |
| stiv2k | (kinda) | 02:17 |
| jnc | stiv2k: what happened? | 02:35 |
| stiv2k | jnc: the slowness is due to the wireless driver on this laptop | 02:35 |
| stiv2k | i dunno if you've heard of b43 before | 02:35 |
| jnc | oh I've heard that it sucks | 02:36 |
| jnc | and how. | 02:36 |
| stiv2k | anyway, i have bittorrent open, and me downloading / uploading a torrent is maxing out the bandwidth the wireless driver can do (as of now they said it has severe Tx power issues) | 02:36 |
| stiv2k | even though im only downloading/uploading at about 40 KB/s | 02:37 |
| stiv2k | theres no more resources left for the 3 ssh sessions i have open to my server | 02:37 |
| stiv2k | make sense? | 02:37 |

| Kamping_Kaiser | upgrade? | 11:36 |
| ackerpaul | or can i just pimp an usual desktop-ubunt into a server? | 11:37 |

| jnc | okay, so is "cli" install the same as server install? | 22:24 |
| jnc | that's not a simple question, it's a literal question about the netboot installer | 22:24 |
| jnc | the netboot installer I have set up for Gutsy is prompting me to install with "install" or "cli" | 22:25 |
| jnc | I've tried "install" and it ends up installing openoffice.org-common, which is kind of odd | 22:25 |
| jnc | but who knows, is that what I want? | 22:26 |
| jnc | pschulz01: hi | 22:31 |
| jnc | =) | 22:31 |
| pschulz01 | jnc: Morning. | 22:31 |
| pschulz01 | jnc: What's up? | 22:32 |
| pschulz01 | jnc: (doc) | 22:32 |
| jnc | heh. just got a question about installation. trying to relax this one day out of my week | 22:33 |
| jnc | how are you? | 22:33 |
| pschulz01 | jnc: Go into work early :-) | 22:33 |
| jnc | ha, right, on a Sunday (here in the USA) | 22:34 |
| pschulz01 | jnc: I'll be talking with American people tomorrow morning my time.. we're like.. 10 hrs behind and 1 day ahead. | 22:35 |
| pschulz01 | Has your question been answered? | 22:36 |
| jnc | no, not acknowleged yet even | 22:36 |
| jnc | it was about netboot installs, what exactly is a "server" install in syslinux parameters? | 22:37 |
| pschulz01 | jnc: Oh. | 22:37 |
| pschulz01 | jnc: Not sure.. does it refer to 'netboot' at all? | 22:38 |
| jnc | nah. I just am confused about what the difference is today with Gutsy of a Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server install | 22:38 |
| jnc | there's a split on the website, yet they ask you to download the same ISO image | 22:38 |
| pschulz01 | jnc: I would guess that you would use the 'server' cd image rather than the desktop one. | 22:38 |
| jnc | is it really a different one? | 22:39 |
| jnc | I just looked, maybe I got it wrong | 22:39 |
| pschulz01 | jnc: For me it's a driver thing.. rather than userspace software. | 22:39 |
| jnc | [Download Ubuntu Server Edition ยป] == http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | 22:40 |
| pschulz01 | jnc: The server CD doesn't install much of the desktop software (if any) by default. | 22:40 |
| jnc | [You can download Ubuntu, or request a free CD from Canonical.] == http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | 22:41 |
| jnc | so ... | 22:41 |
| jnc | I think this is confusing me | 22:41 |
| pschulz01 | There are different iso images. | 22:41 |
| jnc | the website doesn't show it | 22:42 |
| jnc | I know there were different ISO images for Feisty Desktop and Feisty Server | 22:42 |
| pschulz01 | jnc: THe server also doen't include the 'live cd image', os it will start installing straight away. | 22:42 |
| jnc | but now I look at Gutsy and I don't see them | 22:42 |
| jnc | ohh.... | 22:43 |
| jnc | it's a radio button widget on the website form | 22:43 |
| jnc | someone needs to fix that website | 22:43 |
| atouk | how so? | 22:44 |
| jnc | if I click on the "more info" for Ubuntu Server, I read all about this great product, and I click the link [Download Ubuntu Server Edition] | 22:45 |
| jnc | well then, why is the Desktop edition selected? | 22:46 |
| jnc | making the user click again is not obvious | 22:46 |
| atouk | hmmm sisn't confuse me. guess i did it after i had my coffee | 22:47 |
| atouk | (didn't) | 22:47 |
| jnc | "Follow the [Download center] and choose Ubuntu Server edition today!" | 22:49 |
| jnc | that would be better | 22:49 |
| jnc | I'm a *nix admin, not a mouse in a maze. =) | 22:49 |
| atouk | well, once you get past that, installation is painless | 22:50 |
| jnc | okay, again with the website, what does the option for selecting an Alternate CD do if you download the Server edition | 22:50 |
| jnc | is Server edition shipping with a LiveCD mode and Gnome interface? | 22:51 |
| atouk | don't know just downloaded 1 each of the desktop and server iso's | 22:51 |
| jnc | well, okay. I'd like to do this from netboot install, so I will have to find out what the syslinux parameters are on the Server edition insatll | 22:52 |
| jnc | install, even | 22:52 |
| jnc | maybe I will get the ISO, unless you have one handy and would be willing to grab the syslinux conf for pastebin? | 22:53 |
| atouk | server install was pretty complete only added ftp server and SWAT | 22:53 |
| atouk | what folder? | 22:54 |
| atouk | can't find a file named that | 22:56 |
| peanutb | Im looking at the gutsy server disc, and im wondering what is installed by the different options. Is this posted somewhere? | 23:03 |
| jnc | atouk: sorry, I got distracted by #ubuntu-chicago | 23:09 |
| atouk | np | 23:09 |
| atouk | peanut the list of services? | 23:09 |
| jnc | atouk: if you do a search for 'boot.txt' it should be apparent | 23:10 |
| atouk | boot.txt is just some advertising | 23:11 |
| peanutb | atouk, yeah | 23:12 |
| atouk | ubuntu-installer/i386/boot-screens/splash.rleThe default installation is suitable... | 23:12 |
| atouk | haven't seen a list lsts see if i can remember most | 23:12 |
| jnc | yeahhh... ubuntu-installer/i386/*.cfg | 23:12 |
| jnc | mine is labelled pxelinux.cfg | 23:12 |
| jnc | but for yours it would be syslinux.cfg? | 23:13 |
| atouk | lamp, css, progresssql, samba | 23:13 |
| jnc | oh wild. | 23:13 |
| atouk | a couple others i didn't install | 23:13 |
| peanutb | im guessing the print server is just CUPS configured to listen to other addresses, and the file server just samba | 23:13 |
| jnc | atouk: would you mind to pastebin them? | 23:13 |
| peanutb | mainly, im wondering about the mail server template | 23:13 |
| jnc | all of them as a single pastebin would be fine | 23:14 |
| jnc | peanutb: samba and nfs I think for the fileserver | 23:14 |
| atouk | if i can find them | 23:14 |
| atouk | yeah mailserver was one too | 23:14 |
| atouk | (don't know flavor, etc) | 23:15 |
| pschulz01 | atouk: postfix | 23:15 |
| peanutb | is it just a smtp-ish server or is it also imap.pop3 | 23:15 |
| atouk | found prelinux.cfg file length 0 | 23:15 |
| peanutb | imap/pop3 | 23:15 |
| jnc | nah, not prelinux.cfg | 23:16 |
| lamont | peanutb: SMTP MTA | 23:16 |
| jnc | yours should be called syslinux.cfg | 23:16 |
| jnc | it's the boot loader used by a bootable cd | 23:16 |
| peanutb | hmm. ok then | 23:17 |
| atouk | think i found it named default in folder prelinux.cfg | 23:18 |
| peanutb | do they do any config at all? or is it just install packages? | 23:18 |
| atouk | configs everything on standard install. i used expert so i could set static ip | 23:18 |
| jnc | atouk: ah, yeah that actually might be it, I think you're right | 23:19 |
| atouk | answer a few qustions, reboot, server running | 23:19 |
| atouk | painless | 23:19 |
| peanutb | i wish there was more documentation on this. I think im gonna see how i coulde get involved in makeing some | 23:21 |
| atouk | actually 2 default in seperate places | 23:23 |
| jnc | atouk, http://pastebin.ca/744948 | 23:23 |
| jnc | so... my question now is, will netboot be sufficient to install Ubuntu Server? | 23:23 |
| atouk | don't know | 23:23 |
| atouk | did cd install | 23:23 |
| jnc | I think we will know more by comparing the syslinux lines | 23:23 |
| atouk | accept dcc | 23:24 |
| jnc | atouk: okay, ready now | 23:25 |
| atouk | still not showing? | 23:25 |
| jnc | no, I'm not very competent with irssi DCC stuff | 23:26 |
| atouk | hold on i'll past a bit into a PM so you can tell if it's what you want | 23:27 |
| jnc | interesting, it also lists "cli" and "install" | 23:31 |
| jnc | so you picked "install" ? | 23:31 |
| atouk | did the expert install standard uses dhcp, experts lets you enter the ip | 23:33 |
| jnc | yeah I would think that installing Ubuntu Server via netboot would be a supported and documented configuration, when in fact I don't see support and there's no documentation | 23:35 |
| jnc | heh | 23:35 |
| jnc | maybe I have to shell out money to pay for company-line support :( | 23:36 |
| jnc | atouk: thank you for your help! | 23:36 |
| atouk | shy not just burn a cd? | 23:36 |
| jnc | no cd drive | 23:36 |
| atouk | rack servers? | 23:37 |
| jnc | yup | 23:37 |
| atouk | usb ports? | 23:38 |
| jnc | sure, I don't think booting from them works though | 23:38 |
| jnc | is there a way to install Server from USB? | 23:38 |
| atouk | if usb is a bootable device just get large capacity usb drive or a portable CD | 23:39 |
| atouk | of course if anything breaks, we never had this conversation | 23:40 |
| jnc | um. "lol" | 23:42 |
| jnc | /\ | 23:42 |
| jnc | : : : : : : : : :::: zoom | 23:43 |
| atouk | one little gotcha. if you want to use SWAT from a remote machine, you need to enable root logins | 23:45 |
| jnc | or use SSH tunneling like a sane person ;) | 23:46 |
| jnc | no disrespect meant | 23:47 |
| atouk | yeah but SWAT makes setting up samba painless | 23:47 |
| jnc | atouk: just to be clear, what I meant is setting up port forwarding via Secure Shell, so that when a user directs their web browser on the desktop machine at http://localhost:10861/ or whatever port is being forwarded to the remote host to connect to (remote host as localhost) on the port for SWAT, it would work | 23:56 |
| jnc | as if the user was on the server as a local machine user | 23:56 |
| jnc | simpler example is I have a web service on my server available only to loopback and port 3000, so I want this from my desktop, I port forward via SSH and set up 9999:localhost:3000, now on the desktop I go to http://localhost:9999/ and it works | 23:57 |
| atouk | haven't tried that. just that if you log on as a regular user, you can only see configuration info, you need to be able to log on a root to make changes | 23:57 |
| jnc | ohh that is true, I had not considered this | 23:58 |
| jnc | I wonder, is there some group the user needs to belong to for it to work? | 23:58 |
| atouk | may be able to do it, but since my machine is going to be insulated, it was just easier to make root account active | 23:59 |
| jnc | =) | 23:59 |
