[00:00] i want to set up my ssh authorized keys and i also want to install a gui if im in a tight spot with the command line [00:00] well, its my first time here,.. sorry [00:01] so could someone help me 1. install a little gui, or 2. help me set up my ssh authorized keys? [00:01] shelbyscates: 2) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AdvancedOpenSSH [00:02] shelbyscates: 1) do you want a full graphical interface, like the Ubuntu Desktop? or something lighter weight? [00:02] thanks a ton mate :) [00:02] well, im thinking fluxbox or xfce [00:02] i have plenty of power, but nobody ever complianed about speed. [00:02] shelbyscates: you might find this documentation search useful, http://people.ubuntu.com/~kirkland/search.html [00:03] shelbyscates: apt-cache search fluxbox [00:03] shelbyscates: apt-cache search xfce4 [00:03] shelbyscates: that'll show you the packages available [00:03] shelbyscates: you can install fluxbox by "apt-get install fluxbox" [00:04] oh, ok [00:04] so after i install it, how do i start it? [00:07] shelbyscates: reboot, and it should start right up [00:07] so after i install xfce how do i start it? [00:07] shelbyscates: otherwise, "startx" maybe? [00:07] oh thanks [00:07] shelbyscates: startx usually starts the xwindow system [00:07] yup it does [00:07] shelbyscates: i haven't used xfce in that manner in a while, though [00:08] so also, if it does start right up, how do i get back to my friendly command line? [00:12] oh, could i install ubuntu-desktop on top of my server gui and boot server or desktopp fom the command line? [00:12] and if i installed ubuntu desktop would i be able to manage my server with the gui? [00:16] and one more thing [00:16] shelbyscates: Sure, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [00:17] im setting up ssh, and when i try to ssh into my server from my laptop, it always redirects to my old server even though i have everything configured correctly [00:17] thanks erichammond :D [00:23] nevermmind on the ssh question, it was my router :D [00:23] thanks all of you guys! :) [00:24] ( i hope thanking isnt looked down upon ) ;) === shelbyscates is now known as mesaynaysayer [00:47] ok yet another one [00:47] i just installed ubuntu server and i need to know start to finish how to get a working mail server set up [00:47] and running) lol [00:59] mesaynaysayer: TMTOWTDI but perhaps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto [01:08] hey guys i installed ubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu server, and now theres no way to get my command line back, plz help :( [01:08] oh wait i have an idea [01:47] mesaynaysayer [01:48] i'll try and give you a hand [01:48] mesaynaysayer - you there? [01:57] thats ok, i got iut thanks :) [01:57] you guys are awesome :) [01:58] i got wmii working great, and now im ready :) [01:58] i must say, you guys really did a good job! [01:58] you all deserver a high five :D [01:58] XD deserver - wonder whats on my mind :P [02:00] but you guys really did a great job with making ubuntu and helping everyone else :) [02:00] id be really lost without you :) [02:52] hey - is anybody a dns genius here? [02:52] i'm at my wit's end [02:53] bind9 + dhcp-server - want to do dynamic dns updates so my dynamically-assigned hostnames are in DNS [02:53] no errors, it just doesn't work [02:54] keep getting a NXDOMAIN [03:40] hey, could anyone help me set up my mail server? [03:40] sorry,im a n00b === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx [03:53] mesaynaysayer: Gotta run, but perhaps the "Email Services" section here has relevant info: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html [03:53] mesaynaysayer: (I'm a Postfix fan) [03:53] ok i got it :D [03:53] thanks so much [03:53] can someone tell me how to use "mail" lol XD [04:03] when you type mail in the com,mand line, does it bring up postfix? [04:03] as in typing the command 'mail' ? === dantaliz1ng is now known as dantalizing [04:34] mesaynaysayer: no, you need to install 'mailx' to get the mail command [04:59] well, for some reason my mailbox works and i can send and recieve mail [04:59] but i have no idea how to write a message when i enter the command 'mail' [05:00] it brings up something and it lists messages i can send to myself [05:00] but i dont know how to reply :( [05:05] mesaynaysayer: "man mail" will give you all the answers. Alternatively install another mail client, like elm for example. [05:08] mesaynaysayer: postfix is a mail transport, not a mail user agent. mailx, elm, mutt, thunderbird, evolution, etc are mail user agents [05:09] oh ok [05:10] well, sorry to be such a n00b, but all i know is that when i type mail it gives me a usage and it'd sure be nifty to know how to use it ;) [05:10] oh, thanks owh :) [05:15] I'm needing to implement a google search for a team mailing list on the team wiki page, but I'm unsure how best to achieve that in such a way that I get an input box and a search button, rather than just a link to a google page. Any suggestions where I might ask this question? [05:16] can that be done on the wiki we use? [05:16] * ajmitch imagines that the doc team or related groups may know best [05:17] * owh asks in #ubuntu-doc :) [05:21] !mta | mesaynaysayer: [05:21] mesaynaysayer:: A Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) is the server software that sends and queues mail. The default MTA (and !MDA) on Ubuntu is !postfix ("exim" is also officially supported). See also !MailServer and !MUA [05:21] !mailserver [05:21] Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds. You can install a basic email handling configuration with the "Mail server" task during installation, or with the "tasksel" command. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer and https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/email-services.html [05:22] !mua [05:22] A Mail User Agent (MUA) is the application you use to read email messages. Examples include Evolution, !Thunderbird and mutt. MUA's are required to read mail on your system and could be compared to the mail functions of Microsoft Outlook.

[05:24] I'm sure we can get that changed [05:24] :) [05:25] the singularity is near! [05:25] ubottu: nealmcb is a semi humorous individual. [05:25] lol [05:25] lo [05:25] i'm a bit new to this aspect of computing, but if i wanted tocreate LAMP servers for my friends, i would have 1 base computer running ubuntu server + vmware server, and create a master image based off jeos, and just load them up each time, correct? [05:25] Hmm, that was forwarded to ubuntu-ops :-| [05:26] dr_dasos: we prefer kvm, and it is faster and easier to build with ubuntu-vm-builder [05:26] but otherwise, sure - have a go at it [05:26] !kvm [05:26] Factoid kvm not found [05:26] oh dear.... [05:26] !virtualization [05:26] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [05:26] !qemu [05:26] qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [05:27] hmm, kvm? i'm barely familiar with vmware as it is =P but could you give me a quick point or two on why kvm over vmware? [05:28] dr_dasos: Because vmware is not yet supported under hardy and kvm is Ubuntu's virtualisation tool of choice at this time. [05:28] ubottu: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [05:28] cool, thanks for the links, gonna read up on it [05:29] * owh wonders how to tell ubot*u how to forget the new factoid about nealmcb [05:30] heh [05:30] owh: well, ubottu ignored it, and the folks in #ubuntu-ops will probably ignore it also, and demote you from all Ubuntu responsibilities at the same time [05:30] :) [05:30] cast out into the outer darkness & all [05:30] nealmcb: Excellent, will that leave me more hours in my day? [05:30] and we'll all end up in front of the CC in no time [05:30] :) [05:31] hat in hands, pleading our case? [05:31] CC? [05:31] community council [05:31] Ah [05:31] * owh goes to fetch an Acubra. [05:31] (For holding in hand.) [05:32] It's pretty well established they won't actually do anything. I shouldn't worry to much. [05:32] quick question already, for kvm do i need certain capability in my hardware, or is that something it will automatically detect and optimize for? [05:32] ScottK: The CC or the ops :) [05:32] because i think both amd and intel have on chip virtualization these days [05:32] dr_dasos: you need the bits as described in that help page [05:32] owh: CC. [05:32] Ops are inconsistent. [05:32] [05:33] or you can use qemu, but it is much slower, but that may not matter for a simple web server [05:33] owh: interesting... I'm running vmware on hardy.. [05:33] lamont: How did you do that? [05:33] then again "works" is slightly different from "supported" [05:33] owh: how do you mean? [05:33] * owh gets ready to wrestle the keys from lamont. [05:33] the ops have been very helpful to me when I do mean to add factoids to ubottu [05:34] lamont: Well, did you package it, use an existing package, or install from source? [05:34] or was that another one of those where I had to fix a build failure in vmware-config.pl... [05:34] source tarball from vmware [05:34] 6.0.3 [05:34] Yuk [05:34] and it quite possibly has a diff [05:34] * owh wants apt-get support or nothing :) [05:34] owh: it's how I've installed it since vmware 2. [05:35] lamont: Fair enough. I've been using it since Workstation 3.2, but installing from source is not my favorite activity. [05:36] lamont: The installer leaves crap everywhere. [05:37] ubottu: virtualization is There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu. See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [05:38] owh: well, I do admit that I drop things into /usr/bin, rather than /usr/local/bin :-) [05:38] * owh shudders [05:38] it made my life easer for the 20 minutes that there were debs in ubuntu [05:38] ROTFL [05:39] * owh hasn't yet transitioned from Gutsy because of VMware and also not migrated to kvm yet. [05:40] sadly, my primary use of vmware is a windoze XP instance [05:41] and I cannot adequately express how much that pains and offends me. [05:42] lamont: what is the critical app/use case? [05:42] nealmcb: quickbooks. [05:42] and the singular critical decision factor that overrides any other app? "my accountant uses quickbooks" [05:43] lamont: so let me guess - your association with Ubuntu and Canonical leads you to need financial accounting software that leads you to Windows? [05:43] lamont: Funny you should say that, for me it's WinNT and MYOB. [05:43] so, baring a linux port of quickbooks? windoze+quickbooks/windoze [05:43] Macos? [05:43] nealmcb: The ops have a widely varying definition of what consitutes abusive behavior. The predominate view seems to vary significantly from mine. [05:43] nealmcb: heh [05:44] doing some small business books (which goes back 10 years) leads me to needing financial software [05:44] lamont: I pretty stunning amount of stuff that never worked on WINE before works now (in Hardy). It might be worth a try. [05:44] lamont: Same here. [05:44] * ScottK had iTunes 7 working for a while. [05:44] * owh cannot get the data out of MYOB. [05:44] * ajmitch thankfully doesn't deal with that stuff [05:44] * owh confesses that choosing MYOB was the worst business decision ever made. [05:45] dendrobates: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-flavors [05:45] ScottK: hrm... OTOH, finances + hackish software reimplementing the code that redmond tested into existance in the first place? maybe not so much. [05:45] iTunes 7 is a critical use case for my teenagers [05:45] owh: I've only briefly seen it, is it that bad? [05:45] lamont: You mean, worse than the abomination that is GNUcash? [05:46] ajmitch: The software was written by accountants and uses a single file database of some or other format. [05:46] ajmitch: Do I need to tell you more? [05:48] the first part was enough [05:48] ajmitch: That's why I mentioned it :) [05:48] soren, sommer: note a few quick shots at virtualization factoids for ubottu above. we should do a more comprehensive job though... [05:51] * owh wanders off to feed face. [05:52] owh: runing my finances under wine is something I figure I might do on (1) test data, or (2) when intuit tells me that's their linux support strategyu [05:52] quickbooks is actually pretty good, as far as accounting software goes. [05:52] remember that the primary objective of accounting software is to keep your accountant happy. [05:53] because happy accountants spend less time on your books, and therefore charge you less money. [05:58] * ScottK thought the primary purpose of accountants was to haul off my box of receipts and invoices and turn it into sensible reports to the government. [05:59] ScottK: that's another approach.. it costs more. [05:59] I generally pay for 1-2 hours of accountant time at tax time [06:00] * ScottK pays more [06:05] of course, the vmware engine does come in handy for tossing ubuntu isos at, as well [06:05] the fan on the 1U test box is a bit noisy, you see... [06:06] * lamont never heard of MYOB [06:06] generally, for small business finance, the only question is "Quickbooks, or PeachTree?" [06:07] lamont: In Oz, it's MYOB or QuickBooks. [06:07] ok [06:07] * nealmcb finds an old, unpatched, vulnerable webmin 1.170 on a machine at a local nonprofit.... wonders if proper packaging with security updates would be better than ignoring these things.... [06:07] same for NZ, naturally [06:07] * owh initially started running the business with FileMaker and Excel. [06:08] ajmitch: Dunno. [06:08] nealmcb: No, packaging just gives you the feeling of security :) [06:08] nealmcb: it's webmin... is it even possible to package it properly, other than with a trashbag? [06:08] somebody else to blame.... [06:09] kewl. bandwidth quota numbers integrated into cricket. win [06:09] lamont: You could package it using /dev/null as the target ;) [06:09] owh: device files are not allowed in the archive as debs.... [06:09] lamont: Hmm, shame really :) [06:10] lamont: we're looking for current webmin issues that are architectural flaws, not bugs. but they are hard to find. telling the world to become savvy command-line sysadmins doesn't fit well with the ubuntu mission.... same with ebox, etc.... [06:10] *** glibc detected *** /usr/games/kobodl: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x082d11f0 *** [06:10] kobodelux FTW! [06:10] cool, thanks for all theinfo guys, it seems that kvm is the way i will go, just to make sure, there's no way to use kvm with windows as the host os, correct? [06:10] nealmcb: yeah [06:11] OTOH, administering a machine without acquiring clue is also fraught with peril [06:11] well, looking for architectural flaws that are bad enough to refuse to package and suffer the consequences.... plain old architectural flaws are a dime a dozen :) [06:11] lamont: It's happening more every day. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. We should have learnt that with PageMaker and a LaserWriter :) [06:11] so is walking across the street [06:12] our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to make common things easy and safe [06:12] owh: it happens. the only question is whether it's better to enable them, or discourage them. the mission statement makes the answer crystal clear. [06:12] hence the pain of trying to implement clue in the gui [06:12] :) [06:13] nealmcb: You do realise that this is really Mission Impossible don't you? Just because you make a wrapper around a complex process doesn't mean that you are actually making common things easy and safe. Think for example, a company that can easily and safely install MySQL and run a Tb of data. Then they find out there is no backup. [06:13] ok. i got my ubuntu-server setup. i have ssh, samba, and LAMP... now i just want to learn about servers and stuff.. im picking up pretty quick... qestion is .. what can i make my server do that will help me.. or serve me with anything [06:14] ROTFL [06:14] sersly .. like i have no use for this.. execpt learning purposes.. but whats next... [06:15] i have a hand full of webpages hosted ... and i setup apache to host my home dir... and samba to share directorys.. [06:15] and im doing this all trew remote login in x-term .. with ssh [06:15] i dunno, check and make sure it works fine as a file/print server for the rest of you network, give small hosting accounts to friends and have them screw it up and start fixing it [06:15] thatguyisjames: Just because my ROTFL came after your question doesn't mean I was laughing at you. In case of fact, we were just discussing your exact type of scenario and I laughed out loud because you illustrated my point exactly. [06:15] thatguyisjames: it really depends on what sorts of things you want to do.... [06:16] see i get that you need a a problem ..befor you can come up with a solution... [06:16] and as of right now... im trying to make a solution... when there realy isnt a problem... i just want to learn more about servers and how they work.. [06:17] thats somthing im intrested in .. the log in trew xdrm isnt it.. or w/e its called.. where you log on to a remote acount ... [06:17] thatguyisjames: in that case, make it redundant and scalable :) [06:18] lol ... i do happen to have 3 older dells laying in the garage ...that are perfect for that.. they even fit on a rack perfect! [06:20] and get them to turn off and turn on based on whatever criteria you need, 4 computers chugging can eat up a lot of watts [06:21] thatguyisjames: then implement virtualization to aggregate them into one machine at night, and make soren happy [06:23] ok... soo.. i need to run what command.... sudo nano /etc/imposable.conf ? [06:23] what's the process called where VMs are handed between computers [06:23] i mean edit what file* [06:23] dr_dasos: migration [06:23] i say im a noob to servers .. and your talking clusters... gaaa... [06:24] sounds interesting, though i guess mentally i can't see how it can be migrated seamlessly [06:24] those VMs can get kinda big [06:24] thatguyisjames: you've established that you learn quickly, but can't decide what practical benefit you want to acheive, so this is the obvious direction to lead you in. some day you'll get a boss who will pay you to tell you what to do.... [06:25] :) [06:26] so ill tell myself what to do ? [06:26] and ill get money.. for telling myself what to do [06:28] * lamont declares bedtime [06:28] g'night y'a;; [06:28] y'all, to [06:28] o [07:25] Morning [07:25] hey guys i have an ubuntu mail server and i can recieve messages but not send them what do i do to be able to send messages?

[07:59] we need some help with confixx, php, apache, etc... [07:59] so its not really that ubuntu specific [08:00] moin [08:01] moin moin [08:07] so, yes. We need some sysadmin knowhow :) [08:08] <\sh> oh jehova...da confixx [08:09] <\sh> solution: just delete it, pay some bucks for a guy who knows his job ;) [08:09] <\sh> ah german ;) [08:09] <\sh> 1&1 ? [08:09] no :) [08:09] <\sh> strato? [08:09] <\sh> hetzner? [08:09] no :) [08:10] <\sh> don't tell me you bought the crap [08:10] well, right now we pay ~110€/Month for Manageing, Backups and the hardware [08:10] find a admin for that! [08:10] i bet once its set up it does not take much care though... [08:11] <\sh> spiekey, you talk about confixx...I had a couple of customers who had this...one update.and nothing worked again [08:11] hehe, yes. sounds like confixx :P [08:11] <\sh> in the past...confixx had the worst sechole ever...added a mysql user, with bash shell but no password, just because confixx wanted this [08:12] we dont really care...we just want a confixx like interface for the end customer. [08:12] <\sh> most of the 1&1 server housing park had to be updated and before that they were all vulnerable [08:12] if we move away from confixx we would also need some export/import solution :) [08:13] thats why i asked for confixx [08:14] <\sh> spiekey, i think you should try this forum for rootserver in .de ... I think you find some people dealing with this confixx crap...and some of them are cheap too [08:15] okay, thanks [08:16] <\sh> spiekey, but beware...you can't trust people you pay only a couple of bucks...when you have to pay 150€/h it's ok.. or around 600 to 750€/day excl. mwst...and a good freelancing contract..then you get quality...below that...don't trust those people.. [08:17] year, thats something wich gives me a headace :) [08:17] gotta go, be back in a while [08:17] <\sh> normal prices for freelancing sysadmins in .de [08:18] <\sh> and that's even cheap :) [08:39] Does the ubuntu server cd come with a desktop or do i have to install it manually after installation? [08:43] since the latestes openssh server updates X11 forwarding is slow. does anyone know why and what to do? [08:45] <\sh> Kapli, as server implies, no desktop for -server flavour [09:18] ssh -X is slow. xhost/telnet with DISPLAY set not. Who knows a solution? [09:23] <_ruben> get faster hardware? encryption requires more power than plain X [09:25] that's not the problem [09:25] it use to be very fast on even older machines [09:26] also compression is not the problem [09:26] it was fast in gutsy but is slow in hardy [09:26] <_ruben> its not a server specific problem either most likely [09:26] it was fast in debian etch but after some updates it go slow [09:27] you think it's the ssh client? [09:27] I doubt because I tried different verions of openssh and sun's ssh client [09:27] <_ruben> no, i think its not an ubuntu-server problem [09:27] <_ruben> since X isnt an ubuntu-server feature [09:27] so where to discuss openssh-server? [09:28] it's not an X server problem. it's an ssh server problem === Kapli_ is now known as Kapli [11:14] Hello all, I'm trying to install Ubuntu-Server on a pc with no cdrom, and my only option seems to be a USB thumbdrive I have (2gigs). However, When i try to write the ubuntu-server iso to the disk using dd if=/dev/sdb of=/path/to/ubuntu-server-image.iso bs=512 it seems to produce an unbootable usb drive... is there some other step i'm missing? Thanks. [11:15] yeah - that won't work afaik [11:15] you'll need to have a look for instructions on producing a bootable USB drive [11:16] Ok, so my next approach would be to get a bootable usb drive, and then use another one to store the actual files for the install and run it like that then eh? [11:17] e [11:17] or sry, wrong paste :p got link, just a sec [11:18] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [11:18] check the isotostick.sh script section, very easy [11:18] just run the script and it will make ur usb key bootable, and extract the iso on it [11:19] cool - thanks primski [11:19] np [11:51] Well, I've gotten the usb thumb drive to boot properly, according to this guide I now need to boot the thumb drive (sda1) as the cdrom. It has me going about this in a rather roundabout way ... (linking /dev/sda1 to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0) however, when I mount this with the format I specified when making it (ext2) i get no such device ... [11:51] is there some way I can verify what this drive is showing up as besides dmesg? (because that shows sda) [11:57] mounting? where? if you mount, upon reboot, those get lost [11:57] you need to set up in your bios to boot from usb, should it support it [11:57] well, i ran the setup, and it got to the phase where it's looking for the cdrom and fails [11:57] aha [11:57] oh [11:58] i think the fs on usb is fat16, try that instead of ext2 [11:58] or do a fdisk -l to see what fs its [11:58] well, when i formatted the usb disk, i did specify ext2 [11:58] aha [11:59] i wasnt sure how to format it in dos as fat16, heh [11:59] hm, dont know really, i used my SD card with that and it worked ouf of the box [11:59] err, in linux, rather [11:59] i though that script makes fat automaticly [11:59] well, sry, no more ideas :s [12:00] ah, well thanks for your help so far, i'll see what i can drudge up [12:00] np and good luck [12:00] worst case scenario i stick with my faithful slackware =) [12:00] :d [12:00] does your bios support net boot ? [12:00] if it does .. i haven't found the option for it, and it doesnt happen automatically ... [12:00] I actually have a PXEboot already setup for slack ... [12:01] hm, there arent many options left yes, if it doenst [12:02] i'll try it again as fat16 - i just found the format command for that partition type [12:02] grat, gl [12:02] great* [12:07] i do get 1 error when running the script that i'm not sure what it means yet though, cp: cannot stat /media/cdtmp.b20990/casper: no such file or directory [12:07] i'm reading the script to see what it does .. [12:11] ikonia: good morning [12:34] well, i think i've spotted the problem, the usb drive has a hidden partition that is being mounted as the cd, and i havent found a way around it =/ [12:34] hi, i want to authenticate some users using mysql in apache, but since 2.2 mod-auth-mysql is depracted and doesnt work any longer (according to a guy on the apache list). mod-dbd should be used instead, but i cant find it in the repo. do i have to compile apache myself? [12:36] <\sh> libapache2-mod-auth-mysql ? still in the hardy archives === slimjim8094__ is now known as slimjim8094 [12:36] \sh: ye, but they told me its depracted since 2.0. and it doesnt work for me, thats why i asked on the apache list [12:51] Hey all. currently running ubuntu network server with ldap authentication. My next issue that I have is the annoying keyring password request when accessing samba shares. does anyone know how to stop this request in an ldap environment? [12:56] hello all.. which program should i install unter ubuntu8.04-server to correct my date/time permamently (as daemon, not cron) [12:57] ctx144k: openntpd [12:57] i already installed a time-server on another mashine [12:57] ok [13:22] hello all, i run ubuntu-server at home as home and media server , the question is that i need Apparmor, if i disable it this will affect the system ? [13:26] mohamed_: It will increase the potential security risk with the system. Why do you think you need to disable it? [13:26] ScottK-> because it make some troubles with Squeezecenter [13:27] and i don't need security for this server [13:27] Security is all it affects. [13:27] it will behind firewall [13:27] I don't agree that that means you don't need security, but your choice. [13:28] ScottK-> iit will be for home media inside home [13:28] It's your network. It's your choice. You don't need to convince me. Only yourself. [13:28] my question if i diable it this will not affect the system ? [13:28] disable [13:29] Except for security, no. [13:29] thanks ScottK [14:08] ikonia: are you on? [14:08] cjsstables: I am yes [14:10] you know anything about this annoying keyring program. On my network authenticated users/clients, before I can mount a samba share I have to put in a keyring password. Is there a way to stop that [14:11] my ultimate goal is to automatically mount samba shares but this keyring password is in the way [14:13] If network manager is the culprit I can remove that safely if my clients network ip's are manually configed right? [14:28] cjsstables: there are docs for that, let me see if I can dig them out [14:31] ikonia: i followed one of the doc's about an hour ago and unfortunately was locked out of my linux box. had to restore original files. Maybe the one I was following was not correct [14:32] let me see what I can find for you [14:36] ok cool [14:47] So, I'm using dhcpd and iptables masquerading to set up a router gateway system; all is working well, but if the system restarts, I need to re-enter the iptables rules to re-establish the masquerading; How can I have them loaded at startup? [14:49] put them in rc.local perhaps? [14:50] zul: duh - that was easy :p [14:50] <_ruben> or put them in a nice script in /etc/init.d/ and use update-rc.d to have it executed automagically .. just a tad "cleaner" than (ab)using rc.local imo :) [14:50] <_ruben> and you'd want firewall rules to be started prior to bringing any interfaces up [14:51] _ruben: right. That does seem cleaner. Thankya [14:55] New bug: #237892 in dhcp3 (main) "/var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases file is empty" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/237892 [14:56] New bug: #237894 in openssh (main) "I cannot connect to any server.

[14:57] im having some problems with vsftpd+firewall setup. i'm using ssl only, port 990 and when i enable ufw, i no longer get directory listing, authorization works ok, but disconects after there is no directory listing returned. i opened ports 990, 20, 21 tcp and udp. any ideas? [14:58] have tried putting you client in passive mode? [14:59] yes, im using filezilla on ubuntu desktop. [14:59] i thought it could be due to passive mode, but filezilla doesnt solve it, perhaps a bug there, will try another client [15:05] _ruben (or others :): What would be the apropriate runlevel for such a script? [15:07] <_ruben> most common runlevel would be 3 .. and 39 as sequence number (since networking has sequence number of 40) [15:09] Thanks again [15:10] Vlet: or use ufs? [15:10] oops - ufw... [15:11] nealmcb: uh, that's a gui thing, right? [15:11] <\sh> nope...ufw is cli [15:11] oh.. hmm [15:12] * Vlet does some reading [15:12] I should have a gui some day, but we like cli too [15:13] !ufw [15:13] Factoid ufw not found [15:13] !firewall [15:13] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [15:13] Well, that's just the thing - I'm not planning on installing X on this box ) [15:13] Vlet: good [15:14] jdstrand: we should set up a factoid for ufw and add it to !firewall [15:15] nealmcb: Personally I've never heard of Guarddog before. Kmyfirewall is the KDE front end I see mentioned. That could do with an update too. [15:16] Vlet: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html [15:18] nealmcb: Thanks - now the tricky bit is getting this working in one swipe, as the system in question is currently acting as the gatway for my workstation ;) [15:18] Vlet: yeah - I know the issues there.... another program that helps with that and does lots more is shorewall [15:18] it has some nice auto-fall-back features [15:18] I think I'll survive =D === dantalizing is now known as the_apostle [15:26] friday! [15:26] It seems that the ubuntu.media.mit.edu repomirror is not being updated o_O [15:26] yay friday [15:27] hmm - the ufw man page doesn't say what the default policy is. default deny or default allow.... but the comment on remote management implies that perhaps it is default deny? [15:29] jdstrand: ^^ [15:29] Default is nothing at all. [15:30] hello, I have got a server with ubuntu 64 bit 8.04 i have two discs but need to raid1 them while the server is live.. does any one have a good working howto I can use? [15:33] You want to convert to a raid array on a live server? [15:34] hi ScottK i have a live server with sda and sdb currently the system is booted on sda - i want to raid1 /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 - /dev/md0 - so the server is live and I have created tghe md0 with sdb2 added and sda2 as missing - just having some sticky with grub and thought while i am at it might as well pick up a good proper howto.. [15:36] A how-to I was writing would start with configuring the server before it was live. [15:36] ScottK, hehe yea, it's a hetzner thing man...they didnt want to.. so now i have a live syhstem with two discs and no raid... [15:37] done it before in gentoo but cant find a solid howto for ubuntu, [15:37] can i not download a live cd and "boot it" or run it..and get to the environmetn where i can do a remote live install? [15:38] think i can ask hetzner to put in a live cd and give it access to the net? maybe i can then do the raid1 easy? [15:38] It's been long enough since I set one up I'm reluctant to give advice. [15:38] it's all good :) [15:38] thanks anyhow, and enjoy a great weekend! [15:39] i keep on forgetting it's friday :) almost pub and stella time [15:39] nealmcb: it is default deny, but disabled [15:39] nealmcb: it can be changed with 'ufw default ...' [15:40] jdstrand: thats what it seemed. want a bug for the man page? [15:40] nealmcb: if you want-- I've made a note to fix it [15:42]
