[04:18] ...since only /etc/ldap.conf is managed by ldap-auth-client (i.e. debconf) [04:19] i think it wil break stuff [04:19] and if you have a server you have a 3rdd one : [04:19] :p [04:20] wantok: slapd.conf has different stuff [04:20] I've been making the symlink on my clients for ages, without apparent problems. [04:20] I'm inclined to do the same on the server. [04:21] anyone familiar with iptables here ? :) [04:21] To1: yes, but not PAROLE. [04:24] ok [05:39] Hey everyone [05:40] I am trying to set up postfix/dovecot. They are functioning, but when I upgraded thunderbird 2 to thunderbird 3, thunderbird refuses to download messages, and gives this error: http://pastie.org/ 257801 . I'm using IMAPS. [05:41] (A very similar error occurs when I attempt to send mail.) [05:41] so fix thunderbird :) [05:41] (btw, not breaking the link makes life easier on helpers) [05:42] bah, I was having troubles with my client breaking the message onto two lines. sorry about that. [05:42] I have a dumb question... I installed ubuntu server with php, mysql, and apache2 on an old box I had laying around. I would like to be able to setup a domain now using it, can this be done easily? [05:42] Ken: 'set up a domain' meaning? [05:42] Yeah [05:42] wantok: when I was using thunderbird before, it would give me a message about the certificate being 'wrong', but it would still download mail. I suspect I have a problem with my certificate, but now thunderbird is stricter. [05:43] ken: do you have more than one domain? [05:43] Derander: the message tells you what the "problem" is. the fix is to make thunderbird less strict [05:43] Derander: or buy a cert signed by someone ... [05:43] I have many that I can use, but I would like to use one for now just for testing purposes [05:43] wantok: alright, I'll downgrade thunderbird - there is no option in 3. [05:43] Ken: so what do you want to do ... setup a website? [05:43] indeed [05:44] Ken: if you want to use more than one, you'll need vhosts, but for just one, it should work out of the box. [05:44] Ken: oohh.. dns *palmface* [05:44] vhost, is this something I can setup using apt-get? [05:44] ken: it's built in. [05:44] Ken: i still dont know what you mean by domain [05:44] wantok: he wants to point a domain to his box [05:45] exactly [05:45] Thanks derander [05:45] Derander: ah. [05:45] test.com should point to my ubuntu box [05:45] * lamont has always read "set up a domain" as "point an A RR in DNS at _that_ IP", which is trivial [05:45] ah, sorry [05:45] Ken: i'd suggest goign with vhosts from the start. [05:45] (: [05:45] having done that, the next question is, so what services does said machine want to provide? [05:45] lamont: i have a similra though :) [05:45] *ar [05:46] Im mainly going to use it for development and having a few team members accessing it. [05:46] might host a wiki [05:46] Ken: you'll need a static IP to start with, btw [05:46] ken: example of virtual hosts http://pastie.org/257804 .- if you're using ubuntu you can shove them in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default [05:46] Derander: or in a new file in sites-available - thats sort of the point :) [05:46] Ken: so what you're saying is you want to set up a web server on the host. Installing apache got you at least the start of one [05:46] wantok: yeah, but I'm lazy. [05:47] Derander: it'll bite you on the arse on day then :) [05:47] Derander: more files _IS_ the lazy way [05:47] Yeah, I installed apache, php and mysql just a moment ago using apt-get [05:47] wantok, lamont: I disagree, but I'll agree to disagree [05:48] Derander: remind me to never manage a machine you've configured. :-p [05:48] Derander: you'll be wrong :P () [05:48] I know I'm wrong, but more files = more effort FOR ME. [05:48] until you need to disable one vhost for testing [05:49] or move it to a new server (which i spent this am doing here) [05:52] * Derander continues muddling around with his cert [05:52] Hmm [05:53] Now the server just doesn't respond.. that is not an improvement [05:54] yeah, this thunderbird alpha client is not bug free! how dare it! [05:55] * lamont remains happy that he doesn't use the production version either [05:55] what do you use? [05:55] mostly mutt [05:55] ah [05:57] * Derander needs to add some sort of filter that drops emails with attachments > 2 mbs, this is absurd. [05:59] Anywho, thanks for clearing that up for me.

[09:11] <_ruben> soren: the old name (known in the interfaces file) doesnt really exist any more .. and the new name (which does exist), isnt known in interfaces file [09:12] _ruben: That hardly counts as ifupdown being confused :) [09:13] <_ruben> matter of semantics :) [09:13] matter you being mean to it :) [09:14] <_ruben> soren: it just be big boy and handle the asaults :p [09:14] <_ruben> guess i'll just stick with vlanXXXX interface names for now [09:14] <_ruben> the renaming is rather hackish anyways [09:15] <_ruben> # up /sbin/ip link set vlan0008 down [09:15] <_ruben> # up /sbin/ip link set vlan0008 name wan0 [09:15] <_ruben> # up /sbin/ip link set wan0 up [09:15] <_ruben> kills the routing table entries as well ;) [09:15] Sure, you should change it when you create them. [09:17] <_ruben> i wonder if adding to sections to interfaces file might do the trick .. one with the vlanX name, which just gets renamed .. and one with the new name which actually configures it [09:17] <_ruben> s/to/two [09:18] <_ruben> soren: do you know what's the proper way of setting up a bond0 without an ip address? its only got tagged vlans on it .. so i just add 0.0.0.1/32 to it [09:19] _ruben: You can't just "ifconfig bond0 up"? [09:20] <_ruben> hmm .. wonder if that'd work from within a pre-up for the vlan interface [09:22] I think that's a logical place to put it. [09:22] <_ruben> lets give it a try [09:22] <_ruben> hmm .. i'd have to create the bond as well in the pre-up [09:24] Yes.

I can not add a printer via the webinterface (have not tried another way). Once I select the ppd it just hangs once I click add. This is on 8.04.1 ... any suggestions ... log level debug does not produce any error once it hangs ... [10:14] that happens even with raw printers [10:16] any hint on where I could look furhter? [10:33] argh ... should have googled before brain farting [10:54] works flawlessly with konquorer ... firefox3 just hangs ... [10:56] I keep seeing what Google results tell me is a disk about to fail. However, when I take it of this computer and stick it in another, it runs fine. [10:57] Is there any other reason for this? (The error is ata2.01: status: { DRDY } [10:58] Drives on the same IDE channel work fine btw. And I've even put other drives in on the same cable, and it works just fine. (Only thing I haven't tried hardware wise was to move it onto another channel. But that would require massive headaches, so I would like to keep that as a last resort.) [11:00] Bryan_Sierra: any smart results that look way out of bounds? [11:00] No smart results no. I had a partion out of the header range (I believe it was the header range at any rate.) but once I reformated it went away. [11:01] maybe it was cylindars. At any rate no smart results issue. I even ran the seagate diagnostics on it. Reported back as "Fine" [11:05] I assume it's a driver issue [11:05] because this was on a server, I used one of the channels for the CD, then added a HD once the install was done. [11:10] Okay, now for something that might help a lot more:The drive is a slave drive, but in fdisk; both of them are gone. [11:12] Should I go to ubuntu for this or :O? [11:14] what kernel? [11:16] 2.6.24-19 [11:25] so, anything I can do, other than just not use the drive :P [11:26] it also sounds to me like an ata driver issue .. [11:27] see if the kernel in Proposed repository helps [11:28] Well I was just thinking that since I added this drive after I installed, that maybe it just wasn't recognising it and that I could just...I dunno...re install the driver or something :z [11:29] Don't even know if that was possible. Never realy ran into this before, so yeah. [11:32] when i restart bind9 it gives me an error "/etc/host.conf: line 1: bad command `192.168.0.13 radius localhost" [11:33] need help [11:35] lee_: looks like you put stuff that was meant to be in /etc/hosts into host.conf [11:35] a okay will change it and try again [11:37] lee_: that 192.168.... line should go in your /etc/hosts file instead i would guess [11:38] your hostname is radius and ip is 192.168.0.13? if so, that line is for /etc/hosts (i would remove the localhost bit, as that should already be on the line starting 127.0.0.1) [11:42] i have changed it but still cant get apache 2 to work like i want it [11:42] lee_: your hosts.conf has very little to do with apache [11:43] you want to be able to go to http://hostname/ instead of http://ip.add.res.ss ? [11:43] no want to be able to tipe in www.zarshare.co.za on lan and not 192.168.0.13/www.zarshare.co.za [11:44] lee_: you want to do this from just your local lan i assume [11:44] ? [11:45] yes want 4 web pages on lan [11:46] ok, do you have a dns server on the lan at the moment? [11:46] yes but it is a pice of windows &^$%# [11:46] no problem, it will still work [11:46] you have 2 options: [11:46] ok [11:46] 1: use the windows dns server [11:47] 2? [11:47] 2: install and configure a new dns server (maybe bind) somewhere, then reconfigure all the clients to use this new dns server. Then make sure it replicates all the dns stuff needed for AD [11:47] i guess you use ad as well [11:48] if not its slightly easier [11:49] i am new at ubuntu would like to get server up and running as i have to install 4 servers at clients running lan webpages [11:49] bind > +-5 can be a part of AD dns afaik, but ive never tried it [11:49] ok and the clients also have windows dns servers? [11:50] no clients dont have server [11:50] i would recommend a very simple solution: add the zarshare.co.za zone to your windows dns server, then add a new host (A) record pointing www at 192.168.0.13 [11:51] want to put down a linux server [11:51] ok thats fair enough, then at the clients you may want to install bind [11:52] remeber that they need dns for internet access as well, so your installation at their side will have to be authorative for the zone you want, as well as doing caching/forwarding for internet hosts [11:53] if the sites will never be accessable over the internet, then its easier again, if they will, you need to work on a dns topology [11:54] ie 192.168.0.16 is not an internet ip, so you may want a "split brain" dns structure: internal dns authorative server points to 192.168..., external authorative server points to 66.249.93.99 for example [11:55] you will need to change the client pc dns configuration as well to use your new dns server [11:55] will explain what we want [11:56] want to start a local web server on a pc accessable over the internet to host and share files for clients [11:58] ok [11:58] are you ok with how dns works? [11:58] am new with linux [11:59] ok [11:59] i got apache 2 working after 4 days of reading [11:59] :) [11:59] well done [11:59] :) [11:59] ok, this is a very doable project, but i think you may want to read up on a few things first [12:00] please give list [12:00] dns [12:00] public and private ip addresses [12:00] the basics: [12:01] you will need to provide dns services to both internal and external clients [12:01] ok [12:01] one set will access the server with a private ip address, one set with a public [12:01] there are a few ways around this [12:01] one is "split brain" dns [12:02] you could also set up a dmz, and have the web server in that with the same ip for public and private (needs a bit of routing setup) [12:02] you havent considered hosting the stuff externally? [12:02] not in South Africa [12:02] :D [12:03] i hear ya [12:03] u in sa [12:03] used to be ;) [12:04] still deal with one or two servers there though [12:04] were u now [12:04] uk, with all the other saffers :D [12:04] u mean furs and lids [12:05] ?

What? -ENOTENOUGHPUNCTUATIONANDPRONOUNS [15:22] soren: sorry lilo [15:23] zul: Yes, I understood that much :) [15:23] soren: if you get me a patch I can do it then [15:24] zul: Heh :) What I want is for someone to write the patch :) [15:24] soren: meh... [15:24] use grub ;) [15:24] * soren kicks zul [15:24] teehee [15:25] mathiaz: 5.0.67 builds fine [15:28] zul: Ok go ! [15:35] kirkland: update-motd? [15:35] zul: yeah, please [15:35] kirkland: had a look at my notes? [15:35] * kirkland grumbles about revu not sending email.... [15:35] zul: lemme do that [15:36] kirkland: There's a mailing list that sends all the comments. [15:36] ScottK: interesting.... [15:38] zul: okay, copyright fixed [15:38] kirkland: cool...i wasnt sure about that though [15:38] zul: added changelog to docs, but didn't think it was necessary, because my rules does dh_installchangelogs ChangeLog [15:38] ok [15:39] zul: actually, i don't think it should be in both places [15:40] zul: also, i think we should keep the init script; it makes turning this on/off and getting status easier [15:41] its kind of overkill dont you think? [15:42] zul: no [15:42] ok [15:42] zul: how would a user temporarily disable update-motd? [15:42] Koon: tomcat6 uploaded [15:42] yoohoo [15:43] kirkland: run dpkg-reconfigure maybe? [15:43] zul: and you think that would be better than "service update-motd stop" ? [15:44] kirkland: yeah you are installing one less file and the init script seems a little odd for me for a cron job basically [15:46] zul: the other thing is that the init script makes it possible to turn on/off non-interactively [15:46] zul: in case you had a script where you wanted to disable/enable it [15:46] zul: dpkg-reconfigure would have to ask you interactive questions [15:47] kirkland: gotcha I trust your judgement though, call me old school I guess ;) [15:47]
