^Elfboyhi04:08
^Elfboywould some one know how o can set ftp so i can load thing and stuff to server04:08
^Elfboyor point me to something to read04:09
ScottK2Don't use ftp.  It's insecure.04:10
^Elfboyok04:10
^Elfboywhat shojuld i use04:10
ScottK2You can use sftp.  On ubuntu-server you just have to install the openssh-server04:10
^Elfboyopenssh-server is install04:11
^Elfboyi can ssh in to server from laptoop04:12
^Elfboyuseing locAL host04:12
susscorfahi does anyone know a good way of backuping to a server without rsync on the destination04:12
ScottK^Elfboy: Then if you have an sftp client on the laptop, you'll be able to use sftp.04:14
^Elfboysftp in term04:14
^Elfboyis there a ugi04:14
ScottKThat'll work or there are gui clients04:14
^Elfboy:)04:15
ScottKWhat is the laptop04:15
^Elfboygentoo04:15
ScottKGnome or KDE04:15
^Elfboykde04:15
ScottKKonqueror will do it.04:15
^Elfboyok04:15
ScottKsftp://url.of.server/04:15
^Elfboyok04:16
^Elfboylet me try04:16
ScottKsusscorfa: My first thought is install rsync.04:16
susscorfai dont have admin rights otherwise i would have done that04:16
susscorfascp ing a few gigs every time is not realy a option04:17
^Elfboysweeeeeeeeeeeeeet04:17
^ElfboyScottK:  thanks man04:17
ScottK^Elfboy: You're welcome.  That'll work if you want to switch to Kubuntu too...04:17
^Elfboycool04:18
^Elfboy:)04:18
ScottKsusscorfa: I don't have a suggestion that doesn't involve having rights to install stuff on one end.04:19
susscorfahmm ok ill look on04:19
^Elfboyok back04:28
^Elfboyi have the sftp set up in server04:28
^Elfboywhen i tryed to move fil i get access denied04:28
^Elfboyin server was there some thing i need to change ?04:30
^Elfboy?????????????04:35
^ElfboySc04:35
^ElfboyScottK: u around04:35
ScottKYeah04:38
^Elfboycool04:38
^Elfboyi got in the server  but cant remove or add anything04:39
ScottKGenerally you access sftp as a normal user and copy onto the server in your home directory.  From there you can use sudo cp or sudo mv to put the files where you want them.04:39
^Elfboy i get access denied04:39
ScottKYou need to move stuff to where you have full rights.04:39
^Elfboyon gentoo i have rights to all04:40
ScottKThat doesn't sound very secure.04:41
^Elfboyi change permasion in /home/user04:42
^Elfboyshold work04:42
ScottKAnd make sure you login in with the same user via sftp04:42
^Elfboy?04:43
^Elfboyohhh04:43
^Elfboynm04:43
^Elfboyok i give up05:04

^Elfboybeats me05:30
^Elfboyim o gentoo05:31
^Elfboycan some tell me where i can read on how to use term as sftp05:48
antdedyetScottK: you are up for MOTU soon. Cool!06:02
CrummyGummyHi all, I'm trying to upgrade my Feisty box to Gutsy. It keeps aborting with no error. Any ideas where to look?06:40
nealmcbwow - long server team meeting today - lots of good work - kudos to the team!06:41
CrummyGummyMaybe its got something to do with this. ->  sshd[27882]: fatal: Cannot bind any address.06:46
faulkes-thats interesting07:07
faulkes-what does ifconfig say about your network interfaces07:07
faulkes-unless you've told sshd to bind only to certain addresses, it should bind to loopback/localhost as well07:08
CrummyGummyI havn't restricted the binding to sshd. I'll put my ifconfig on pastebin. I don't think this is my real problem but I noticed that the advertised sshd on 9004 didn't work on my other box during upgrade.07:13
CrummyGummyI think that the problem is that nfs-common is being kept back. I'm not sure how to upgrade this.07:14
CrummyGummyI can't remove it because /var/cache/apt/archives is mounted on nfs.07:15
CrummyGummyhttp://pastebin.com/m61cf1d8e07:16
faulkes-well, yes, I think you can discount the sshd message, the network stack seems to be up07:24
faulkes-I take it nfs is on the 10 network07:24
faulkes-and /var/cache/apt/archives is mounted RO?07:24
CrummyGummyYes its on the 10 network, no its rw,07:26
faulkes-ok, I'm new, so forgive me this question, is there a particular reason you can't remove it because it's mounted via nfs?07:27
CrummyGummyapt uses /var/cache/apt/archives which is mounted via nfs so I can't remove nfs-common. Or is that dumb?07:30
faulkes-I'm not an apt expert so I couldn't say07:31
faulkes-is there a reason you need /var/cache/apt/archives mounted via nfs or a particular reason for that setup?07:32
CrummyGummySaves on bw costs. Its not a huge issue but its a saving non the less.07:34
faulkes-and you are doing what for the upgrade, "sudo apt dist-upgrade" or some such?07:35
faulkes-all these scientists really need to find better ways to make us healthy07:36
faulkes-because while I appreciate research showing that drinking 500ml of beet juice / day reduces blood pressure07:37
faulkes-ITS BEET JUICE07:37
CrummyGummyK, I've unmounted it so nothing is using it. nfs-common is still being kept back on dist-upgrade and upgrade.07:37
* CrummyGummy shivers.07:37
CrummyGummyThat sounds aweful.07:37
faulkes-is there a message associated with it being kept back?07:37
CrummyGummyDEBUG demoted: 'binfmt-support gcj-4.1-base gij-4.1 libgcj7-jar libglib1.2 liblzo1 libttf-dev libttf2'07:38
CrummyGummyERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'07:38
CrummyGummyhmmm, that was an hour ago.07:38
CrummyGummylemme look further.07:38
faulkes-no offense to the scientists but if they want to be taken seriously, they should be studying what health benefits a 3 martini lunch provides you07:39
faulkes-alot more people would buy into that kind of health diet07:40
CrummyGummyhehe, that sounds much better.07:40
CrummyGummyfaulkes-: I removed it reinstalled it and the upgrades working now. Thanks.07:45
CrummyGummyit was a wierd dependancy problem...07:46
faulkes-not sure I really did anything but glad to help07:47
CrummyGummylol, its way better than talking to a void...07:48

tjaaltonhardy install on an ESX-server guest went fine, using our server installation package set (646 packages)10:50
sorentjaalton: Awesome news!10:54
sorentjaalton: I don't see why it wouldn't work, but it's still nice to know :)10:55
tjaaltonyeah, it's pretty straightforward10:56
tjaaltononly thing that I'm normally nervous about is that if the package set installs, since one single package failing to install halts the whole thing :)10:57
tjaaltonbut it's mostly a desktop install issue anyway10:57
tjaalton(conflicts, migrations etc)10:58
tjaaltonand when the next d-i image is built, we'll be able to use ssh-key based remote access to the machine, and monitor the installation logs remotely from a log server (thank you Google :)11:01
nijabatjaalton: any tries with JeOS?11:12
tjaaltonnijaba: no, it would need a special setup. What's special about it? Isn't it just a task which installs a minimal set of packages?11:13
nijabatjaalton: the kernel also has a lot less drivers11:14
tjaaltonah11:14
nijabaand it seems we were missing some for proper ESX install on 7.1011:14
nijabacould not verify it though11:14
nijabatjaalton: hence my request....11:15
avatar_tjaalton: you tried ons esx 3.5?11:16
tjaaltonthe problem is that the ESX frontend server isn't on public network, so I'm not sure how I'll be able to push the image there :)11:16
avatar_right now i'm installing a few ESX hosts for a customer11:16
avatar_i can spend a few minutes installing JeOS11:17
nijabaavatar_: that would be awsome !11:17
tjaaltonnijaba: seems to be 3.0.211:17
avatar_tjaalton: okay, i'll give it a try on esx 3.511:17

zulwe dont support sqllite dont we?15:01
ivokscause for free you get whole sql :)15:01

lamontScottK: and then I just need to know what we're doing for 2.5.1... I figured I'd let Wietse move that past -rc1 before I upload it...15:26
ScottKAh.  Right.15:26
avatar_fresh install of vmware esx. Create new guest, configure it to boot from hardy iso. Power on. Poof, crash :(15:27
ScottKlamont: I'd suggest pushing 2.5.0-1 to Sid/Hardy now and then updating to 2.5.1 when he releases it.  That way you'll get more 'feedback' if there are packaging issues to deal with at the same time.15:27
lamontgood point15:28
mathiazsoren: any tought on the ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list used as a contact email for ubuntu-server LP team ?15:28
mathiazsoren: see my email on ubuntu-server from yesterday15:28

jcastroHi guys, is the likewise-open in dendrobates' PPA supposed to work?22:50
jcastroI just tried joining to a domain today and it gave me an error 0004 and was wondering if the package was ready for general consumption22:50

seanyhas anyone had any luck getting LDAP authentication working in 7.10? i'm having a hell of a time getting local logins to work22:54
seanyi want to say i'm hitting a issue with libnss-ldap, but i'm not really sure22:54
faulkes-jcastro, seany, I probably can't help directly but maybe if you put some more details about the issues you're encountering into the channel, one of the fine u-s members can pick it up23:15
seanyi've set it up and it doesn't work :-p23:16
seanyhold on let me type it up23:16
seanyi'm fairly sure i've getting caught on this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnss-ldap/+bug/15594723:17

seanysome times it will let me enter a user and pw, other times just a user23:18
jcastrofaulkes-: well, I can't even find a log for the likewise thing, so I guess I'll just wait until it hits universe and give it a shot23:18
seanywhen it's in this state all of the external services are down, can't ping it, no ssh etc23:18
