[00:53] <ubotu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[01:13] <nxvl_work> ScottK: around?
[02:21] <somerville32> Is there a gui that allows for easy management of ip aliases?
[02:22] <zul> like how?
[02:22] <zul> ie what do you want to manage
[02:40] <faulkes-> you mean managing ifcfg-eth0:X based interfaces, say for ip based web servers under apache
[02:49] <somerville32> right
[02:51] <somerville32> faulkes-: ^^
[03:18] <lightbook> hi, I'm trying to get a root login on ubuntu server, but it's giving me hell.
[03:18] <lightbook> I can't sudo anything and I can't modify the etc/sudoers file
[03:18] <qman> lightbook, root has no password by default on ubuntu
[03:19] <qman> lightbook, and the user you create during install is in the admin group, which gives that user full sudo privileges
[03:19] <lightbook> qman: it's giving me the "not an authorized user" bull.
[03:20] <qman> did you create the user after installing, or is it the user that was created during install?
[03:20] <lightbook> during the install.
[03:20] <qman> ok
[03:20] <qman> if you reboot the system, press escape to enter the Grub menu during boot, and boot with the (recovery mode) line
[03:20] <qman> it will drop you to a root prompt in single user mode
[03:20] <lightbook> alright.
[03:21] <lightbook> sweet, thanks
[03:21] <qman> from there, you should check if your user is in the admin group
[03:21] <qman> and if the admin group is in the sudoers file
[03:29] <faulkes-> somerville32: afaik there is no current gui for such management
[04:48] <zylstra555> Hello. A friend of mine would like to have a sub-directory type site on my server, and I am wondering, what is the best way to do this?
[05:32] <__bb> someone can help me make a router using firehol?

[07:13] <CrummyGummy> Hi all, fsck is failing when checking my ext3 raid1 partition on boot. It says that the fs is either mounted or opened exclusively by another program. It is trying to check /dev/mapper/sda7 and not /dev/md4. Any ideas what could be causing this?
[07:19] <_ruben> CrummyGummy: a faulty setup of /etc/fstab .. it probably lists sda7 instead of md4 .. or your bootloader has been told to use sda7 as root instead of md4
[07:20] <CrummyGummy> U'm using UUID to mount the fs, Lemme just double check its right.
[07:21] <CrummyGummy>  /U'm/I'm/
[07:22] <CrummyGummy> and its not mu root partition its /var
[07:22] <CrummyGummy>  /mu/my/
[07:24] <CrummyGummy> _ruben: Nope, its definitly pointing to /dev/md4.
[07:24] <CrummyGummy> well the UUID of anyway.
[07:25] <_ruben> hmm .. cant say i have much experience with using uuids so dunno if there could be going something wrong there
[07:26] <_ruben> afaik, fstab is the one and only place to define which disks get fsck'ed
[07:29] <CrummyGummy> I found a pointer towards blkid on the net. Still looking.
[07:37] <CrummyGummy> Well thats what you get for not reading up before doing, I ran blkid>/etc/blkid.tab and rebooted. Now its stuck.
[07:37]  * CrummyGummy is holding thumbs it'll unstick...
[07:38] <CrummyGummy> woops, now /dev/md1 doesn't exist. eish,,,
[08:04] <kraut> moin
[08:06] <CrummyGummy> hi
[08:12] <CrummyGummy> Anybody got any idea what I missed? This is very obsure.
[08:15]  * CrummyGummy is going to change /dev/md1 to the UUID ( in grub) and see if it fixes it.
[08:18] <soren> Do you use evms?
[08:21] <CrummyGummy> No, raid1
[08:22] <CrummyGummy> plain mdadm
[08:25] <CrummyGummy> soren: Do you think I need to refresh my initrd?
[08:25] <soren> Do you have evms installed?
[08:25] <CrummyGummy> No, I removed it.
[08:25] <soren> Recently?
[08:26] <CrummyGummy> before refreshing the blkid.tab
[08:26] <CrummyGummy> So, yes.
[08:26] <soren> Did you try rebooting just after removing evms and doing nothing else?
[08:27] <CrummyGummy> well I removed evms refreshed the blkid.tab and rebooted. Now I am stuck.
[08:28] <soren> CrummyGummy: I don't think I've ever had a blkid.tab, and I'm happy.. :)
[08:28] <CrummyGummy> Well I didn't plan it.,,, Maybe removing it will work.
[08:29] <soren> That was what I was trying to say :)
[08:29] <CrummyGummy> lemme look
[08:30]  * CrummyGummy is holding thumbs
[08:42] <CrummyGummy> bbl
[09:11] <CrummyGummy> soren: Thanks, I was looking in the wrong direction. I had messed up my mdadm.conf. After re-generating my initrd file it worked.
[09:11] <soren> \o/
[09:33] <spiekey> hi
[09:33] <spiekey> soren: you there? ::)
[09:34] <soren> I am.
[09:34] <soren> I live here.
[09:34] <_ruben> hehe
[09:34] <spiekey> hehe
[09:34] <spiekey> i need some help or ideas about nss and ldap
[09:35] <spiekey> i use this script to install a samba pdc with nss and ldap : majen.net/smbldap/
[09:35] <spiekey> my problem is that my virtual machines of my vmware server then dont start properly anymore
[09:35] <spiekey> if i comment out "ldap" in nsswitch.conf it works fine.
[09:35] <soren> Er.. Ok.
[09:36] <spiekey> in the syslog i get something like: slapd: bdb_equality_candidates: (uniqueMember) index_param failed (18)
[09:36] <spiekey> but i dont know if this is a serious error or just a message
[09:36] <soren> Have you checked the vmware forums?
[09:36] <spiekey> on my way :)
[09:38] <soren> spiekey: Is there a vmware system user?
[09:38] <soren> Are you running vmware server on an amd64 machine, perhaps?
[09:39] <spiekey> no, its a normal 386 box
[09:40] <spiekey> id: vmware: No such user
[09:40] <_ruben> soren: not sure if you're the one to ask, but any pointers what would be the 'best' virtualization method to run windows guests on an ubuntu host (the host being amd64)
[09:41] <soren> _ruben: I'd guess kvm, but I haven't done much testing of windows inside of it. It should work, thouhg.
[09:41] <spiekey> soren: the thing is that can click on "play" in my vmware server and nothing happens for about 2minutes. Then i get an gui error saying it could not start the machine. If i click play again it works.
[09:41] <spiekey> it always works after the 2nd time.
[09:41] <spiekey> quite weird, isnt it?
[09:41] <soren> Sort of.
[09:42] <soren> vmware has an annoying tendency to ship various libraries with their stuff.
[09:42] <soren> try "locate libnss_ldap.so"
[09:43] <_ruben> soren: i'll look into kvm when i have some time, tho hardy's version is quite superior to the gutsy one right?
[09:44] <soren> _ruben: *very* much so.
[09:45] <spiekey> .  /lib/libnss_ldap.so.2 -> libnss_ldap-2.3.6.so
[09:45] <spiekey> .  /usr/lib/libnss_ldap.so -> /lib/libnss_ldap.so.2
[09:45] <spiekey> i am using ubuntu 6.06 by the way
[09:46] <_ruben> soren: by the time i get a chance to play with it, hardy might be aproaching its final state anyways, so might not be such a big problem ;)
[09:46] <_ruben> we're currently using vmware 1.0.4 on suse boxes, which seems to do the trick fairly well, tho performance isnt all that great
[09:51] <soren> spiekey: Well, my best guess is that vmware is using a different set of libnss libraries and borks because it can't look up users in ldap (probably because it's looking for a configuration file in the wrong place).
[09:52] <soren> spiekey: It's quite hard for me to tell whether that's anywhere near the truth or not, though.
[09:52] <spiekey> soren: i would have expected vmware to not work at all, but not the bahaviour like this :)
[09:52] <spiekey> i might try to strace the problem then
[11:31]  * soren goes to lunch
[11:49]  * _ruben just got back from "lunch"
[11:50] <_ruben> i eat during work, and lunchbreak is used to play tablesoccer in the basement
[11:57] <spiekey> i play pocket snooker all day long ;)
[12:27] <Gargoyle> Greetings
[14:46] <sommer> soren: morning, I've started a cli qemu install using virt-install and I can see a qemu process in ps -ef output
[14:46] <soren> sommer: Ok.
[14:46] <sommer> soren: but I can't connect to the console using virsh -c qemu:///system console
[14:46] <sommer> am I missing something
[14:46] <sommer> ?
[14:46] <soren> Do you have virt-viewer installed?
[14:46] <sommer> the message says no console for domain
[14:47] <sommer> yep
[14:47] <soren> Use that instead.
[14:47] <sommer> ah
[14:47] <soren> virt-viewer -c qemu:///system name-of-domain
[14:48] <sommer> getting a new error: (virt-viewer:8180): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[14:48] <sommer> I'm trying through ssh at the moment
[14:49] <sommer> the virsh list command works fine :-)
[14:49] <soren> Ah, have you set up X forwarding?
[14:50] <sommer> not that I know of
[14:50] <sommer> will do, though
[14:52] <sommer> so does qemu requre X?
[14:53] <sommer> and vnc?
[14:53] <sommer> x is being forwarded, but now the virt-viewer is wanting vnc
[14:53] <sommer> I did use the --nographics option, so that's probably expected
[14:54] <soren> Well, you're supposed to run virt-viewer from your *local* machine.
[14:54] <soren> However, that's blocking on netcat-openbsd landing in the archive. It will be a few days.
[14:54] <sommer> soren: gotcha, I'll try again this evening
[14:54] <soren> "a few days" :)
[14:55] <sommer> er... that too
[14:56] <sommer> thanks for the info, I wasn't finding much on qemu + virsh + console
[18:26] <foo> hm, cron-apt is cool.
[18:35] <ivoks> lamont: any toughts on postfix+dovecot?
[18:46] <sommer> I think they should be combined into a super server named postcot... but who knows where thoughts come from
[18:52] <ivoks> :)
[18:52] <foo> hehe
[18:53] <zul> why not fixdove?
[18:53] <faulkes-> trademark/copyright issues with dove soap
[18:53] <sommer> I think you have to stay with the "post" roots
[19:39] <nxvl_work> did anyone know something about Ubuntu Home Server?
[19:58] <sedega> hello
[19:58] <sedega> I installed ubuntu server version and chose LAMP setup, but it seems like LAMP wasnt installed
[19:58] <sedega> is this normal?
[19:59] <leonel> why  seems like lamp wasn't installed ?
[20:00] <sedega> because there is no sign of apache, mysql, php or python
[20:00] <sedega> i had to apt-get them
[20:00] <sedega> im just wondering
[20:00] <sedega> if i did something wrong
[20:03] <sedega> also can you help me disable system beeper for ubuntu server, i still need the beeper connected for a program, i just dont want any system beeps...
[20:05] <sedega> oh nm, figured out the beeper.. Still LAMP issue, is it normal?
[20:09] <lamont> hrm... ivoks got a way
[21:09] <_Drax> Ive just recently joined the ubuntu community by installing the server edition on my standalone computer, first reason I did was I needed a webserver and the LAMP solution was perfect. Im now interested in suggestions on what more I can use it for. I will join the NTP pool project and if you know more things like those please let me know.
[21:28] <Jester45> is it possible to make a ftp group? so that adding a user to the group gives them access?
[21:46] <Ahmuck> what is the command to get the menu to come up about installing different servers?
[21:46] <Ahmuck> LAMP, DNS, etc.
[21:47] <sommer> Ahmuck: tasksel
[21:48] <Ahmuck> thx
[21:50] <Nafallo> aptitude? ;-)
[22:23] <Gargoyle> greetings
[22:55] <owh> Greetings all. Booting off the Gutsy Server CD, how do I setup a RAID 1 for a new server? Is there a magic boot option to make that happen or am I expected to do this manually?
[23:32] <Nafallo> owh: manually
[23:32] <Nafallo> owh: or rather, via the menu options in the installer.
[23:33] <owh> Which menu options?
[23:33] <Nafallo> the ones that lets you setup harddisks ;-)
[23:33] <owh> All I see is Partition Disks, which gives me manual - no raid options seem apparent, or LVM, which I really don't want.
[23:34] <Nafallo> hmm
[23:34] <Nafallo> weird.
[23:35] <owh> Ooooh. I am going through the installation a second time. I booted with a LiveCD to see if the partitioner would help. It didn't but cfdisk allowed me to mark the types as raid autodetect. Now I see a raid option in the manual partitioning.
[23:40] <owh> Very nice. Not obvious to find, but very nice none-the-less. I'll do another trial to see if I can mark the types from within the installer, but so far I seem to have a method to build what I want.
[23:51] <owh> To have a "Guided Partition - RAID" there are a few steps, do a guided partition on disk#1, write changes, do another guided partition on disk#2, write changes, change partition types to raid for all partitions, then setup software raid, then set partition types for the raid partitions, then set mount points.
[23:54] <owh> Is there any reason why there isn't an installer option to create a guided raid?
[23:56] <owh> Or is there an assumption that if you know what RAID is and why it might be of benefit to you, you also know how to set it up?
