| kgoetz | hi all | 02:03 |
| kgoetz | i'm trying to use ufw on a gateway system, following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html (under ufw Masquerading). i get the following error when trying to run the http://paste.ubuntu.com/27192/ init script. any suggestions? | 02:12 |
| Navop | RoAkSoAx: but is it better being registered | 02:38 |
| pschulz01 | G'day.. I have a Windows -> linux gateway routing problem. | 02:50 |
| pschulz01 | Windows is reporting 'no route to host' messages from the gateway, but all my Linux boxes are able to ping through the gw just fine.. including a Linux client running in a VMWARE on Windows. | 02:51 |
| pschulz01 | I wondering if it a icmp 'do not fragment' windows brain dead type of thing. | 02:52 |
| kgoetz | seems my iptables foo is weak :/ i cant even successfully copy+paste out of ahowto and have it work | 03:08 |
| kgoetz | i got it suss'ed, the doco isnt clear (imo :)) | 03:41 |
| levander | Anybody have a recommendation for a good backup program? One that I can back up the server (which is on a VPS) and back a desktop machine remotely which I've got at home? | 05:51 |
| kgoetz | rsync? | 05:53 |
| levander | I was hoping for something automated, that was just point and click. | 05:56 |
| levander | Looks like bacula and amanda are the two go to packages... Just gotta figure out which. | 06:10 |

| Blinny | I have a backup script in /etc/cron.daily, and /etc/crontab is set to run-parts cron.daily at 1:39AM. However, my backup script isn't beginning until 7:30AM. How should I go about finding out what is causing the delay? | 13:03 |
| _ruben | Blinny: you changed that time yourself? since on the box i checked its listed as 6:25am | 13:25 |
| yesudeep | I'm getting this error on my ubuntu server installation. http://pastebin.com/f60f79753 | 13:27 |
| Blinny | _ruben: Yeah. I have staff coming in at 7AM so I wanted the backup to have a few hours to run before they arrived and needed bandwidth. | 13:27 |
| yesudeep | (Re)Installing locales and dpkg-reconfigure locales did not fix the problem. | 13:28 |
| Blinny | _ruben: I've manually run all the scripts in /etc/cron.daily, and the only one that doesn't execute quickly is 'apt', which seems to just hang. I'm not sure if it needs arguments. | 13:28 |
| yesudeep | How does one fix this? | 13:29 |
| _ruben | Blinny: the apt script has a builtin (variable) sleep of ~30 mins | 13:37 |
| _ruben | to spread the load on update servers a bit | 13:38 |
| Blinny | _ruben: That makes sense. | 13:38 |
| yesudeep | The system is running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS | 13:39 |
| Blinny | Only files with mode +x are run in /etc/cron.* correct? | 13:39 |
| _ruben | guess so, never tried | 13:39 |
| Blinny | I do have a set of rsync filters in a file in /etc/cron.daily, but it's chmod'd 600 | 13:39 |
| _ruben | DESCRIPTION run-parts runs all the executable files named within constraints described below, found in directory directory. Other files and directories are silently ignored. | 13:40 |
| Blinny | Right on. | 13:40 |
| Blinny | _ruben: Any suggestions for how to figure this out? I thought about echo'ing out start and end times of every script in /etc/cron.daily so that I'd be emailed more debugging info | 13:41 |
| _ruben | Blinny: i'd just create a file in /etc/cron.d/ specifying which script to run at which time | 13:45 |
| Blinny | I guess that's an easier way of addressing the symptom. | 13:46 |
| _ruben | this way your script's execution time wont be affected by other scripts | 13:47 |
| Blinny | Right. | 13:48 |
| Blinny | Okay, thank you. I'll keep digging for the cause. | 13:48 |

| delly84 | does anyone know anything about client authenticating via ldap? | 17:23 |
| delly84 | my client authenticates via ldap (i think) and then switches users | 17:23 |

| delly84 | i am not sure | 17:24 |
| delly84 | i have a rather complicated setup, so this might not be the place to ask this sort of question | 17:25 |
| delly84 | for instance i login via juser and then i end up as kuser in /home/juser | 17:26 |
| delly84 | for reference kuser is local and juser is a remote user | 17:26 |
| delly84 | any help would be appreciated | 17:27 |

| delly84 | yes the homeDirectory attribute is definitely set to /home/juser | 17:32 |
| delly84 | when i login as juser i end up as kuser in juser's home directory | 17:32 |

| duiu | I am currently (as in right now) installing Ubuntu Server. I have an 8.7gb IDE install drive, and then two SATA 1 TB drives. I am planning on backuping up the first SATA drive onto the other by doing a clone with 'dd' and then using rsync in cron. The first SATA 1 TB drive I setting the mount point to /srv because it will be used as a fileserver. What should I mount the second SATA 1 TB drive to? | 19:31 |
| duiu | Should I just use any folder (such as /media/1TBbackup)? | 19:36 |
| kirkland | duiu: I use /backup | 19:36 |
| duiu | ok | 19:37 |
| duiu | but I can use anyfolder? I shouldn't mount both to /srv or not mount one at all? | 19:37 |
| kirkland | duiu: i'd use a RAID1, personally | 19:37 |
| duiu | my processor's not good enough :( | 19:37 |
| duiu | 1.9ghz AMD Semperon single core | 19:38 |
| kirkland | duiu: ? for RAID1? there's very little processor overhead for RAID1 | 19:38 |
| duiu | really? | 19:38 |
| kirkland | duiu: I used an P3-800MHz for a 1TB RAID5 for years | 19:38 |
| duiu | oh | 19:38 |
| duiu | I was told by someone on the forum my hardware wasn't good enough. | 19:39 |
| kirkland | duiu: their on crack | 19:39 |
| duiu | hah | 19:39 |
| duiu | is there a ubuntu wiki on how to do this? | 19:40 |
| kirkland | duiu: not sure... the mdadm man page is pretty good | 19:40 |
| duiu | so I'd set the 1TB drives to "use a physical volume for RAID" and configure mdadm after the install? | 19:41 |
| jdstrand | Koon: the debdiff for bug #247598 looks good but needs some whitespace adjustments in debian/changelog. can you fix it up and ping me when ready? | 19:41 |

| duiu | yep | 19:42 |
| kirkland | duiu: good, then this is simple | 19:42 |
| Koon | jdstrand: sure | 19:42 |
| duiu | wait | 19:42 |
| jdstrand | Koon: thanks! | 19:42 |
| kirkland | duiu: if you use the alternate install, you can setup the raid during the installation | 19:42 |
| duiu | they're currently partioned as "use as physical volume for LVM" | 19:42 |
| duiu | I'm stil in the install | 19:42 |
| kirkland | duiu: mark them as file type Linux Software Raid | 19:43 |
| kirkland | duiu: then create an MD device | 19:43 |
| kirkland | duiu: then use that as a device for a filesystem, choose your fs type, and mount point | 19:44 |
| kees | is there something like update-manager's applet for the server? some kind of daily email? | 19:44 |
| maswan | kees: apticron gives you a useful daily email | 19:44 |
| maswan | or, well, daily nags if there are updates | 19:44 |
| maswan | it keeps quiet if there is nothing pending. :) | 19:45 |
| kees | maswan: ah! perfect. | 19:45 |
| duiu | kirkland: how do I mark them as type Linux Software RAID | 19:45 |
| Oliber | GFS question: i'm looking at running GFS under VMware (Ubunto GeOS, or Server), would it be acceptable to use a RDM (so the disk appears as another SCSI disk) as normal GFS mount point, i presume there is nothing different about this configuration, rather than using a software iSCSI client in the guest | 19:45 |
| duiu | kirkland: do you mean as "physical volume for RAID" | 19:46 |
| kirkland | duiu: no | 19:46 |
| maswan | kirkland: actually, you don't want to change the partition type to that, since then the linux kernel might try to do it's broken autodetect stuff. mdadm is much cleverer. | 19:47 |
| duiu | kirkland: or maswan so what should I format my drives as during the partioning? | 19:48 |
| maswan | duiu: either "linux" or "other non-filesystem usage", I think the consensus was. not many things care about the partition flag though. | 19:48 |
| kirkland | duiu: hang on a second... i'm booting a VM | 19:49 |
| duiu | partition flag? I thought we were talking about filesystem | 19:49 |
| kirkland | duiu: filesystem, yes | 19:49 |
| maswan | I thought you were talking about partitioning, not filesystem creation. | 19:50 |
| maswan | oh, we're in the installer. sorry, I was not in context. | 19:50 |
| kirkland | maswan: do you have a partition table on your TB drives? | 19:50 |
| kirkland | duiu: ^ | 19:51 |
| kirkland | duiu: if not, select the "free space" in the installer | 19:51 |
| duiu | k | 19:51 |
| kirkland | duiu: you're going to do this twice, once for each drive | 19:51 |
| duiu | k | 19:51 |
| kirkland | duiu: use the free space to create a new partition | 19:51 |
| maswan | If you just want to use them as raid volumes, there's actually no need for a partition table. | 19:51 |
| kirkland | Use as: ...... | 19:51 |
| maswan | the whole drives that is. but I guess it might make the installer happier, or something. | 19:51 |
| duiu | kirkland: ok | 19:52 |
| kirkland | Use as: physical volume for RAID | 19:52 |
| duiu | k | 19:52 |
| duiu | that's what I was referenceing earlier | 19:52 |
| duiu | then configure the softRAID later? | 19:52 |
| kirkland | duiu: once you have 2 of those, you'll get a new option | 19:55 |
| kirkland | duiu: "Configure Software RAID" | 19:56 |
| duiu | have it | 20:01 |
| duiu | kirkland: SoftwareRAID doesn't require APIC does it? Because I have to turn that off with my mobo to get Ubuntu to boot. | 20:02 |

| sourcemaker | is there a known bug regarding the sendmail... I have the following critical problem with sendmail: System stalling on Mail Transport Agent (MTA) | 20:57 |
| sourcemaker | but I can reproduce the problem... | 20:57 |
| sourcemaker | sorry... can not reproduce the problem | 20:57 |
| ScottK | sourcemaker: Sendmail is not a primary MTA package in Ubuntu. Mostly it's Postfix and some Exim. | 21:03 |
| === melter_ is now known as melter | ||
| sourcemaker | which package is easier to install? | 21:03 |
| sourcemaker | I only need a software for sending emails... not more | 21:03 |
| ScottK | I've only ever used Postfix, so I can't give you a comparison. | 21:03 |
| sourcemaker | !postfix | 21:04 |
| ubottu | postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer | 21:04 |
| sourcemaker | ScottK: I only install postfix and thatÄs it? | 21:04 |
| sourcemaker | and I can send mails via php? | 21:05 |
| lamont | sourcemaker: it's gonna need some php-thingy to generate those. postfix is an MTA | 21:06 |
| ScottK | I'd guess you may need some PHP bits too, but I'm not a PHP person. | 21:06 |
| ScottK | ;-) | 21:06 |
| ScottK | lamont: Speaking of Postfix and scripts... Did you get a chance to look at mine yet? | 21:06 |
| lamont | ScottK: :-( | 21:07 |
| lamont | and tonight's not looking particularly promising. some other non-work stuff that's really piled up and needs some love tonight | 21:07 |
| ScottK | Is that "No, I haven't looked at it" or "Yes, I looked at it and it sucked."? | 21:07 |
| ScottK | Ah. | 21:07 |
| lamont | so... 1) I'll make it inplan for tuesday, poke me tomorrow evening? | 21:07 |
| lamont | that's a "lamont sucks" | 21:08 |
| lamont | I expect that the code is fine - I looked at it long enough to see the large smtp blocks at the top, and not enough to see why they were there. | 21:08 |
| ScottK | K | 21:10 |
| ScottK | I cribbed the setup straight from the amavisd-new docs modulo we use a chroot. | 21:11 |
| sourcemaker | ScottK: now I have installed postfix | 21:29 |
| sourcemaker | I am not sure... but I think apt-get purge sendmail did not remove sendmail at all... there is a startup entry /etc/init.d/sendmail... how can I remove this? | 21:30 |
| Koon | jdstrand: fixed (hopefully) | 21:32 |
| ScottK | sourcemaker: There may have been some Sendmail bits left behind (shouldn't be, but could be), but Postfix and Sendmail conflict. You can't have both installed at the same time. | 21:34 |

| jotil | selecting selinux-basic removed apparmor | 22:09 |
| jotil | any idea what is going on? | 22:09 |
| ScottK | jotil: Shuffling major pieces of infrastructure is not the path to happiness (upstart removal). | 22:10 |
| jotil | ScottK: but i can boot with sysvinit. nothing is wrong. just that when i try enforcing selinux, it doesn't load beyond initramfs | 22:12 |

| Oliber | i don't suppose anyone has a package list for running GFS/heartbeat on 8.04? | 22:12 |
| jotil | ScottK: hardy | 22:12 |
| ScottK | The hardy selinux packages work with upstart. | 22:12 |
| ScottK | The selinux upstream was involved in packaging them. | 22:13 |
| ScottK | So I think you're barking up the wrong tree. | 22:13 |
| * ScottK doesn't use selinux, so I don't have more specific advice. | 22:13 | |
| jotil | oh boy! i read somewhere in the wiki ubuntu that i need to install sysvinit | 22:15 |
| jotil | wait, let me find it | 22:15 |
| jotil | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SELinux | 22:18 |
| ScottK | kees: We don't require people to switch back to sysv-init to use selinux do we? | 22:18 |
| jotil | :/ | 22:18 |
| jotil | it says: 6.Finally, upstart's /bin/init isn't SELinux-enabled. So, you want to aptitude get install sysvinit - at this point, you should reboot... | 22:19 |
| ScottK | jotil: That page was written in October 2007 and has not been updated for Hardy. | 22:20 |
| ScottK | I don't know if that's changed or not. | 22:20 |
| ScottK | Hopefully kees will give us a response. | 22:20 |
| jotil | cool. thanks for your support though.... | 22:21 |
| jotil | but should i wait for kees or reinstall upstart? | 22:21 |
| ScottK | Up to you. | 22:21 |
| ScottK | I'd suggest reinstall upstart since that's the normal Ubuntu configuration. | 22:22 |
| jotil | ok boss... off to reinstalling upstart then... | 22:22 |
| kees | ScottK: no, the "selinux" package should handle that correctly. | 22:23 |
| kees | all the old stuff about selinux not working is wrong. Hardy works correctly. | 22:23 |
| ScottK | jotil: ^^^ | 22:23 |
| kees | jotil: prior to hardy, it was very fragile, as you're finding. :P | 22:24 |
| jotil | kees: thanks. i'll revert my box back to upstart then... | 22:24 |
| * kees nods | 22:24 | |
| jotil | and i actually found the Hardy SELinux docs right now... :$ | 22:24 |
| kees | jotil: to get selinux installed, you should just have to do "apt-get install selinux" | 22:24 |
| jotil | rofl | 22:25 |
