| AlexGC | good evening gentlemen | 00:53 |
|---|---|---|
| * owh looks around, no, lots of sun around here, no evening anywhere :) | 00:59 | |
| AlexGC | true its GMT relative | 01:02 |
| AlexGC | :) | 01:02 |
| AlexGC | I just finished a server install and have two issues, I cant reboot since I need to be a super user. and don't know the password. | 01:03 |
| AlexGC | I was told a comand before, but can't remember | 01:03 |
| owh | AlexGC: So, let me get this straight, you installed ubuntu-server, but you don't know the password? | 01:03 |
| owh | Or are you talking about the "root" password? | 01:03 |
| AlexGC | yeah sorry, root password | 01:04 |
| owh | Riight. That I can help you with. | 01:04 |
| AlexGC | :) | 01:04 |
| owh | There is no root password. | 01:04 |
| owh | But... | 01:04 |
| owh | You can use sudo to do root things. | 01:04 |
| owh | So, you can type sudo reboot | 01:05 |
| owh | and it will prompt you for your administrator password. | 01:05 |
| owh | Magic :) | 01:05 |
| skep | or sudo su + passwd | 01:05 |
| AlexGC | and type in mine. | 01:05 |
| AlexGC | Cool. | 01:05 |
| owh | We don't use a root user in ubuntu if we can help it. | 01:05 |
| owh | Well, that's not strictly true :) | 01:05 |
| AlexGC | Thanks! it worked | 01:06 |
| owh | skep: A quicker way to do what you suggest is sudo -s | 01:06 |
| skep | we? one of my first actions after installing (*)ubuntu is to activate the root account and set a password ;) | 01:06 |
| owh | AlexGC: Of course you could just have pressed CTRL-ALT-DELETE :) | 01:06 |
| owh | skep: That is not a ubuntu recommended process. | 01:06 |
| AlexGC | true.. lol | 01:06 |
| skep | recommended or not.. i prefer it this way..so it feels more like debian to me | 01:09 |
| owh | skep: That's a personal preference. | 01:09 |
| skep | yes | 01:09 |
| owh | AlexGC: Here is why: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 01:11 |
| AlexGC | oh let me give it a read, thanks | 01:22 |
| guiless | how do I change the home folder of a user? | 01:37 |
| hads | I'm unsure if there's a utility that handles it. You can `sudo vipw` and change it though. | 01:39 |
| skep | guiless: check out the usermod command | 01:41 |
| guiless | hads: I typed 'sudo vipw' and now I can't figure out how to exit it | 01:42 |
| guiless | o.o | 01:42 |
| hads | Ah okay, bad idea then. | 01:43 |
| hads | :q | 01:43 |
| guiless | how to exit and not save changes? | 01:43 |
| hads | :q! | 01:43 |
| hads | What skep said is a much more refined way of doing things. | 01:43 |
| guiless | i'll do so when i manage to get out of this screen | 01:43 |
| hads | Press ESC | 01:44 |
| guiless | nothing happened | 01:44 |
| hads | Then enter :q! | 01:44 |
| guiless | nope | 01:44 |
| skep | works for me (:q!) | 01:44 |
| guiless | i tried ctrl+x and ctrl+c as well | 01:44 |
| guiless | mine just beeps at me when i press things | 01:45 |
| guiless | it says recording at the bottom | 01:45 |
| guiless | ctrl+z exited for some reason | 01:45 |
| hads | Well, it didn't it just stopped vim | 01:45 |
| guiless | that's fine by me lol | 01:46 |
| hads | You can type fg to get it back | 01:46 |
| guiless | i like nano | 01:46 |
| guiless | vim scares me | 01:46 |
| skep | guiless: press q one time and then :q! if you see the "recording" line | 01:46 |
| guiless | how do i edit that same file with nano? | 01:47 |
| hads | My fault for leading you astray. Use the usermod command as skep suggested. | 01:47 |
| hads | But you should also make sure that vim isn't still editing your passwd | 01:48 |
| guiless | i should do that even though the file i edited has a bunch of random characters typed in the user path for the user i want to edit? | 01:48 |
| hads | Typing `jobs` will tell you if your vipw command is still running. | 01:48 |
| guiless | meh, i just rebooted | 01:49 |
| hads | Use that hammer. | 01:50 |
| guiless | lol | 01:50 |
| guiless | hmm | 01:56 |
| guiless | I have vsftpd configured to allow connections from local users | 01:56 |
| guiless | but when a user connects via nautilus, they aren't sent to their home folder | 01:57 |
| guiless | they go to / | 01:57 |
| guiless | how can i restrict that? | 01:57 |

| soren | Oh, no, not that many. | 08:32 |
| soren | I'd say more like 100 or thereabouts. | 08:33 |
| kgoetz | wow. thats small | 08:35 |
| soren | That's what she said :( | 08:35 |
| kgoetz | :( | 08:35 |
| kgoetz | hehe | 08:35 |
| nandersson | soren, Ok, thank you very much :) | 08:36 |
| soren | I think the UDS at Mountain View last time was larger, though, I think. | 08:37 |
| nandersson | UDS in december will not be the first time Google hosts a UDS-event right? | 08:40 |
| kgoetz | correct. | 08:40 |
| soren | nandersson: Right. They hosted it two years ago as well. | 08:40 |
| soren | nandersson: That must have been the UDS where we planned for.... | 08:40 |
| soren | err... | 08:40 |
| soren | feisty, I think. | 08:41 |
| soren | Yes, it must have been. | 08:41 |

| jussi01 | hi mehdi :) Try here :) | 10:25 |
| mehdi | thx | 10:25 |
| owh | mehdi: Welcome to the Ubuntu-server helpdesk. How may we direct your call today? | 10:25 |
| owh | :) | 10:25 |
| mehdi | i would like use vhost with apache2 | 10:26 |
| skep | and your problem is? | 10:26 |
| mehdi | i make 2 files in etc/apache2/site en | 10:26 |
| mehdi | a make link with a2ensite | 10:27 |
| mehdi | when a reload apache | 10:27 |
| mehdi | i have | 10:27 |
| mehdi | /etc/init.d/apache2 reload | 10:27 |
| mehdi | * Reloading web server config apache2 [warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 80, the first has precedence | 10:27 |
| mehdi | [warn] NameVirtualHost myip:0 has no VirtualHosts | 10:27 |
| mehdi | do you mean it's better if a try to make my vhost in default file /etc/apache2/site-enabled | 10:30 |
| owh | mehdi: I believe that it's telling you that your two sites have definitions that are the same. | 10:31 |
| mehdi | where i can change a definition ? | 10:31 |
| skep | mehdi: first of all..your config files are in /sites-availabe and your symlinks in /site-enabled,, | 10:32 |
| owh | mehdi: Have a read of this: http://www.heavymind.net/2007/07/25/virtualhosts-nightmare-on-suse/ | 10:32 |
| skep | do you have a NameVirtualHost *:80 line in your files | 10:32 |
| owh | mehdi: What skep is saying is correct. The URL I showed you explains why. | 10:35 |
| soren | owh: I doubt it. Although, there's a tendency to alternate between Europe and North America, so "somewhere in Europe" seems likely. | 10:35 |
| mehdi | ok i find some thing in apache2.conf i have now a different message | 10:36 |
| mehdi | * Reloading web server config apache2 [Tue Sep 09 11:44:56 2008] [warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 80, the first has precedence | 10:37 |
| owh | soren: Tah | 10:37 |
| mehdi | yes | 10:38 |
| mehdi | i have | 10:38 |
| skep | mehdi: and your default vhost-file (the one that comes with apache2 install) is deactivated? | 10:39 |
| skep | and just to claraify..you have 3 chost files starting with "NameVirtualHost *:80" and <Virtualhost *:80> ..? | 10:40 |
| skep | *clarify | 10:40 |
| mehdi | yes | 10:40 |
| mehdi | i have default and vhost1 and Vhost2 | 10:40 |
| mehdi | i can use 1 files? | 10:41 |
| skep | of course you can also put all vhosts in one file | 10:42 |
| owh | mehdi: The disadvantage of that is you cannot disable them individually, but it will work. | 10:43 |
| skep | what happens if you remove the line "NameVirtualHost *:80 from vhost1 and vhost2? | 10:46 |
| skep | mehdi: ok..sorry..was confused..still morning here ;-) ..go to /etc/apache2/conf.d/ and create a file called: virtual.conf and put this line into it: NameVirtualHost * ...then delete in your vhost files the first line ("NameVirtualHost *:80") and change the next line just to <VirtualHost *> (without the :80)..in case you don't have one site listen on 443 | 10:51 |
| mehdi | i try | 10:52 |
| skep | although I think you don't need to remove the *:80 part there.. | 10:52 |
| andriijas | how do i make a iptables script launch on boot , the easiest way? | 11:03 |
| mok0 | andriijas: good question, I want to know myself... | 11:05 |
| mok0 | andriijas: look in /etc/uwf | 11:07 |
| andriijas | mok0: i just need to change no to yes in ufw.conf? | 11:11 |
| mok0 | andriijas, well that will start the firewall with the pre-defined rules... | 11:12 |
| andriijas | which are the predfined rules? thers lots of files in /etc/ufw | 11:12 |
| mok0 | andriijas: Those are the ones, yes. I am no expert on this system though | 11:13 |
| skep | mehdi: did it work? | 11:14 |
| mok0 | andriijas: the script to start the whole thing is in /etc/init.d/ufw | 11:14 |
| mok0 | andriijas: unless there is a writeup of the ufw, you need to study both the rules, and how they are started to understand how it works | 11:16 |
| andriijas | nice | 11:17 |
| andriijas | thx | 11:17 |
| mehdi | Ola | 11:28 |
| mehdi | sorry many probleme | 11:29 |

| mehdi | apache don't say nothing just OK | 11:29 |
| mehdi | but i have it's work | 11:29 |
| mehdi | i loose my main page | 11:29 |
| mehdi | it's possible to copy somewhere my default conf | 11:30 |

| skep | mehdi http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 11:33 |
| mehdi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/44858/ | 11:37 |
| skep | uhm..maybe i'm completely on the wrong track here, but don't the Directory stuff belong *inside* the <Virtualhost>...</Virtualhost>??? | 11:40 |
| skep | i haven't seen such a setup (outside) before | 11:40 |
| skep | and the first directive is wrong..it starts with <\..> and ends with <...> ,should be the other way around | 11:41 |
| mehdi | ok | 11:43 |
| skep | so to sum up: you should put on (or more) <Directory /path/to/directoy>...</Directory> inside each <Virtualhost *:80>..</VirtualHost> part, depending on your actual setup..and then it should work.. | 11:46 |
| skep | *put one | 11:46 |
| skep | same with the rest (ErrorLog, Alias ect) | 11:47 |
| mehdi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/44863/ like this | 11:55 |

| incorrect | first bit of advise, put each vhost config into separate files, second, everything goes inside the <VirtualHost Entry> third, remove the doc / cgi config forth, use ServerName for each vhost, move NameServer into ports.conf | 11:59 |

| skep | mehdi: if you don't know what all the lines inside the directoy directive mean..please read that up on apache.org or other sites...let alone for security reasons | 12:04 |

| incorrect | mehdi, sigh, you didn't create the nameserver entry did you | 12:06 |
| incorrect | by default you get * | 12:06 |
| incorrect | i suggest you create NameVirtualHost *:80, and put it in ports.conf | 12:07 |
| incorrect | next to the line that says listen 80 | 12:07 |
| kgoetz | incorrect: why put it in ports.conf? | 12:08 |
| incorrect | also you might find 'apache2ctl -t' handy | 12:08 |
| incorrect | kgoetz, well its a fairly sensible place to put it, its pretty dumb to put it in the vhost config if you have more than one vhost, | 12:08 |
| incorrect | you will get loads of warnings | 12:09 |
| skep | you can put in in any file in conf.d afaik | 12:09 |
| skep | i for example have it in virtual.conf (in conf.d) | 12:09 |
| incorrect | Listen 80 NameVirtualHost *:80 is sensible | 12:09 |
| * kgoetz cant remember how his are setup, and isnt bothering to check *g* | 12:09 | |
| incorrect | this way you have one place to check that you remembered to tell apache to listen on that port and you declared the virtual host entry for it | 12:10 |
| skep | in ports.conf i only have my port settings for 80 and 443 and in virtual.conf * (instead of *:80) | 12:10 |
| incorrect | additional overhead, i am lazy | 12:11 |
| skep | :-) | 12:11 |
| incorrect | you can even wrap you nameserver entry with your ssl if clauses | 12:11 |
| skep | everyone as he/she likes :) | 12:11 |
| incorrect | i think its pretty bad that by default its in the default vhost | 12:12 |
| skep | true | 12:12 |
| skep | well..not really bad, but confusing | 12:12 |
| incorrect | confusing is bad | 12:12 |
| skep | apache 1.3 was really confusing..v2 is much better and cleaner.. | 12:13 |
| incorrect | sendmail is really confusing | 12:13 |

| CrummyGummy | Hello, Last night I upgraded my server to hardy and now my subjects in postfix are coming through like Subject: =?WINDOWS-1252?B?U1BPVDogQWxhcm0gYWN0aXZhdGVkIG9uIEZsdWZmeSBAIDIwMDgvMDkvMDkgMDE6NDE6NDMgUE0=?= Any idea what could be causing this? | 12:48 |
| soren | Does that work for you? | 12:48 |
| soren | I doubt postfix started rewriting subject lines. | 12:48 |
| CrummyGummy | Agreed. Its seems to be somethign to do with the encoding. | 12:49 |
| soren | What kind of content filtering do you have? spam and/or virus filtering? | 12:49 |
| soren | Did you by any chance change your e-mail client as well? | 12:49 |
| CrummyGummy | The client changed nothing. I just ran an upgrade. I have a python filter that manipulates emails coming in, thats where I noticed the problem. | 12:50 |
| CrummyGummy | The =?WINDOWS-1252? is the encoding being used. | 12:51 |
| spiekey | soren: nope :-/ http://pastebin.com/m38268fee | 12:51 |
| CrummyGummy | THis changes with the encoding. | 12:51 |
| soren | CrummyGummy: yes. And that's the correct way to specify your encoding. | 12:53 |
| soren | CrummyGummy: Are you entirely positive that this was not the case before? Where are these mails coming from? | 12:53 |
| CrummyGummy | Yes, I can see it in my mail logs. Last night subject was readable and then it was unreadable. The mail is comeing from some sort of client app. | 12:55 |
| CrummyGummy | I'm not sure. It works find from kmail. | 12:55 |
| soren | I think you're barking up the wrong tree with postfix, to be honest. | 12:55 |
| soren | I'd look elsewhere. | 12:55 |
| soren | postfix has never been in the habit of modifying subject lines, as far as I know. | 12:56 |
| CrummyGummy | hmmm, maybe I need to work out how to decode this in python. | 12:57 |
| CrummyGummy | Is there a package with codepages that may not have been installed properly? | 12:59 |
| soren | i can't think of any, no. | 13:05 |

| _ruben | ah .. the *backup* gpt table isnt at the end of the disk .. lets wipe the first few bits :) | 14:15 |

| ropetin | OK, and did you set up a samba user to authenticate as? | 16:38 |
| stapel | don't think so...how can I check? | 16:38 |
| stapel | ...not really sure what u mean | 16:39 |
| stapel | is that the smbpasswd thing? | 16:39 |
| ropetin | My understanding (and I'm just a newbie, so don't blame me if I'm wrong!) is that samba has it's own users | 16:39 |
| stapel | ok | 16:40 |
| ropetin | Yes, smbpasswd | 16:40 |
| stapel | so how do I set up a samba user? | 16:40 |
| ropetin | If I remember rightly; | 16:41 |
| stapel | and will anyone automatically log in as this user then? | 16:41 |
| ropetin | sudo smbpasswd -a username | 16:41 |
| ropetin | then | 16:41 |
| ropetin | sudo smbpasswd -e username | 16:41 |
| ropetin | No, it won't be automatic | 16:41 |
| stapel | ok, let me give that a go quickly | 16:42 |
| stapel | okay, I have done that...so how do i tell samba that i want all users to log on as this user? | 16:45 |
| stapel | any idea how to proceed from there? | 16:51 |
| themime | i want to install mod_proxy into apache. apache was either installed via apt-get or at install time (same thing i guess right?). so my understanding is that the best solution is having the module recompiled into apache. but i don't have the source, and i want to keep the package intact, so im not sure how about going about this. suggestions? | 17:47 |
| === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx | ||
| themime | had to change locations, did someone answer my question by chance (about mod_proxy). for now i actually just used a2enmod, but as i understand just "enables" it, it doesn't compile it in | 18:31 |
| sommer | themime: why do you want to "compile it in"? the module is already compiled | 18:35 |
| Goosemoose | anyone know what avahi's purpose is since it's preventing my machines from joining an AD domain? | 18:39 |
| Goosemoose | ok i actually found another solution: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/80900/comments/26 | 18:41 |

| Goosemoose | suggestion changing the nsswith.conf file | 18:41 |
| Goosemoose | tested and it works | 18:42 |
| Goosemoose | question is how do I work that in to a preseed? | 18:42 |
| NCommander | Goosemoose, what are you trying to do specifically? | 18:43 |
| Goosemoose | make 500 computers join an AD domain | 18:45 |
| Goosemoose | from the preseed.cfg file | 18:46 |
| Goosemoose | when they are being imaged using PXE over the network | 18:46 |
| NCommander | I haven't done much with preseeding | 18:46 |
| * NCommander checks what package owns nsswitch.conf | 18:46 | |
| themime | sommer: its not really compiled in from my understanding, just loaded in? if it doesn't make a difference i won't mess with it for now, although id like to know how to do it in the future. but i think ill concentrate on figuring out how directives/configuring the module work first | 18:47 |
| Goosemoose | NCommander, thanks | 18:47 |
| n-iCe_ | hello, how can I remove ubuntu-server to ask login in the startup | 18:47 |
| NCommander | n-iCe_, login as in? | 18:48 |
| themime | haha, fail | 18:48 |
| NCommander | themime, I'm really hoping he's not asking what I think he's asking | 18:48 |
| themime | i know, hence the fail | 18:48 |
| themime | lets address it seriously though rather than make fun of him, everyone has to start new sometime in their lives | 18:49 |
| NCommander | Goosemoose, I've never network deployed Debian or Ubuntu, but I do know preseed can run proper commands, you could do something like cat <<- EOF *contents of nsswtich* > /etc/nsswitch.conf | 18:49 |
| NCommander | Or something like that | 18:49 |
| NCommander | s/proper/shell/g | 18:49 |
| themime | n-iCe_: in all seriousness, the login at startup is a security thing, removing it basically negates a large chunk of the security | 18:49 |
| Goosemoose | hmm ok, guess ill need to look at the late command some more, thanks | 18:49 |
| themime | n-iCe_: I'm assuming you mean the login prompt with a monitor/keyboard plugged in, ie the graphical one. If this is a case there is a way to do it, but then I have to ask, why are you using the server version? | 18:50 |
| sommer | themime: it doesn't make any difference, and to "compile it in" would mean you'd have to recompile apache... and wouldn't really make much sense to me | 18:51 |
| sommer | themime: the advantage of a module is that you can load and unload it as needed | 18:51 |
| themime | sommer: i know apache would have to be recompiled. i mean as of right now, i guess I'm set and can start looking into how configuring modules work, but just for my own curiosuity I'd like to know how to compile them in after having apt-get'd it in the first place. but ill leave that for another day. | 18:52 |
| NCommander | themime, you can compile a package from source with apt-get -b source *package* | 18:53 |
| NCommander | (that will grab the source package and generate the debs) | 18:53 |
| themime | NCommander: well, in this case we're talking about a module for apache. the only one i saw that was what i wanted was proxy_html, but i need mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http (which i a2enmod'd in anyway, so its not a big deal right now). now i need to find some good docs for configuring it | 18:54 |
| NCommander | themime, grab the module source, then use apxs to install and configure it against Ubuntu's apache | 18:55 |
| themime | oh, so thats what apxs does | 18:55 |
| NCommander | themime, libapache2-mod-proxy-html - Apache2 filter module for HTML links rewriting | 18:55 |
| NCommander | Or just install the Ubuntu package | 18:55 |
| themime | thats the one i saw, but it looked like a sub package of proxy, not the full deal, but i may be wrong | 18:56 |
| themime | NCommander: what do you mean "just install the ubuntu package" - just to make sure i understand you correctly, you just mean apt-get install libapache2-modetcetc? | 18:56 |
| NCommander | themime, no, apt-get install libapache2-mod-proxy-html | 18:56 |
| NCommander | which will properly add the module to the default config | 18:57 |
| NCommander | Oh | 18:57 |
| NCommander | Yeah | 18:57 |
| themime | hehe | 18:57 |
| themime | was too lazy to type it all out. oh well, for now, i have them loaded, so ill maybe mess with compiling them in later. thanks for the info | 18:58 |
| themime | any good links to configuring modules/how directives work? or should i just use the basic apache docs? | 18:58 |
| n-iCe_ | uhm | 18:59 |
| themime | n-iCe_: scroll up, we responded | 19:00 |
| n-iCe_ | yeah im reading jiji, my grandmother called me | 19:00 |
| n-iCe_ | ok | 19:00 |
| themime | np | 19:00 |
| n-iCe_ | I use it, because I set up some psybnc's eggdrops, etc, but when the power wents off, the pc restarts but can't start again, because asks my login | 19:01 |
| Goosemoose | question. with my windows machines i can 'push' new programs out across my domain when I need to using various methods. How would I do this with my ubuntu machines? | 19:02 |
| Goosemoose | for example push an OO.org update? or a new program | 19:02 |
| themime | directives are just placed in the httpd.conf, correct? (or whatever equivilent is, i use apache 1.3 with centos/rh at work so it may different with apache2.2/ubuntu) | 19:04 |
| themime | or .htaccess i suppose would be safer | 19:04 |
| themime | in order to utilize mod_proxy, does an underlying script have to be running? something tells me it just doesn't magically start acting as a forward proxy, the URL you want has to go somewhere, i can't find information on this | 19:15 |
| themime | im starting to think it does. there needs to be something to handle the http requests, does thats sound accurate? | 19:18 |
| Goosemoose | for a script using the late_command, i don't need to use sudo because it's already running as root correct? | 19:24 |
| ScottK | sommer: Any chance you could look into php-clamavlib with clamav 0.94? In Intrepid it seems to have both a libtool problem and a clamav intregration problem. | 19:25 |
| soren | Goosemoose: Yes. | 19:26 |
| Goosemoose | ok thanks | 19:26 |
| sommer | ScottK: ya, briefly took a look at that this weekend... weren't we dropping php-clamavlib for intrepid, since it's dead upstream? | 19:32 |
| ScottK | sommer: We can, but at long as it's working, there's no solid reason to dump it. | 19:33 |
| sommer | well... isn't it not working? | 19:33 |
| ScottK | sommer: Not at the moment, but if you could fix it again .... | 19:34 |
| sommer | ScottK: not sure how much time I'll have to devote to that, especially in for the life of the next release | 19:35 |
| sommer | ScottK: I'd really recommend dropping it | 19:35 |
| ScottK | sommer: OK. Let's give it a bit to see if Debian comes up with anything. | 19:36 |
| sommer | ScottK: sounds like a plan :-) | 19:36 |
| NCommander | hey ScottK, I posted the debdiff for 3.5.9/3.5.10 | 19:36 |
| NCommander | er, sorry, wrong room | 19:36 |
| ScottK | NCommander: You want join #kubuntu-devel | 19:37 |
| * delcoyote hi | 20:11 | |
| davidt | hi | 20:12 |
| kirkland | when running the installer in a kvm window, what's the magic to drop to one of the tty consoles? | 20:29 |
| nxvl | ALT+F$NUMBER | 20:30 |
| nxvl | just don't press cntrl | 20:30 |
| nxvl | if you are on a graphical environment then it probably won't work | 20:30 |
| kirkland | nxvl: cool, thanks dude | 20:31 |
| NCommander | nxvl, alt+ctrl+FNUMBER in graphical enviornments | 20:31 |
| nxvl | NCommander: yes, but if you do that in a KVM you will see your machines tty, but the vm one | 20:32 |
| NCommander | oh | 20:32 |
| * NCommander shoots himself in the foot then :-) | 20:32 | |
| NCommander | nxvl, I think you can change the key combination so it doesn't conflict between the kvm and the host | 20:33 |
| nxvl | yeah maybe, but a quick solution is that one | 20:34 |
| nxvl | :D | 20:34 |
| === n-iCe_ is now known as n-iCe | ||
| ivoks | you can open kvm's 'terminal' and send any key combination you desire | 20:42 |
| ScottK | ivoks: Did you see that new scripts that I got lamont to add to postfix for adding services to master.cf? | 20:45 |
| ivoks | ScottK: no, i've been busy with exams last couple of weeks | 20:45 |
| ScottK | ivoks: I think we can integrate amavisd-new via that and postconf now. | 20:45 |
| ScottK | So we could automate it without any policy problem. | 20:45 |
| ivoks | i do recall that lamont never respond on sasl questions :D | 20:45 |
| ivoks | ScottK: we should have a conversation about what do we want enabled in amavis by default... | 20:46 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: IIRC I had to disable some shortcuts in Gnome in order to be able to use ALT+NUMBER in vnc. | 20:47 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: it works, if i give the kvm window my keyboard/mouse | 20:48 |
| ScottK | ivoks: Yes. Note that clamav and spamassassin are now in Main. | 20:48 |
| ivoks | i've noticed that, good job | 20:50 |

| fbc | I'm used to running Debian as my server. My ISP gave me a choice when upgrading to my new server to go with ubuntu server. QUESTION: Does anyone see any reason why I should stay running with Debian Etch instead of Ubuntu server? | 21:36 |
| Goosemoose | how can i set the preseed.cfg to ask for the computer name? it's the only thing i actually want it to ask | 21:39 |
| fbc | Goosemoose, I would assume you would just not specify one and it should ask for , right? | 21:41 |
| Goosemoose | thats what i thought | 21:41 |
| Goosemoose | but instead it tells me the "" is an invalid name | 21:41 |
| Goosemoose | I commented out #d-i netcfg/get_hostname string unassigned-hostname | 21:41 |
| fbc | Goosemoose, remove the entire line... don't just leave it blank. | 21:42 |
| Goosemoose | it's commented out, that's the same as removing it | 21:42 |
| fbc | Goosemoose, otherwise you would specifiying a null name. | 21:42 |
| Goosemoose | right? | 21:42 |
| fbc | Goosemoose, yes, sorry, so even if you comment it out it is still saying "" invalid name? | 21:42 |
| Goosemoose | yes | 21:42 |
| Goosemoose | to be exact | 21:43 |
| Goosemoose | The name "" is invalid | 21:43 |
| fbc | Goosemoose, hmmm I'm out of my league here, buddy. Maybe there is someone else here with more experience with it. | 21:43 |
| Goosemoose | doesn't seem to be anyone else alive | 21:44 |
| Goosemoose | thanks though | 21:44 |

| Goosemoose | What are you serving? | 21:45 |
| Goosemoose | Basic sites? | 21:45 |
| fbc | Goosemoose, just basic lamp server | 21:45 |
| Goosemoose | Strange to use ubuntu for a lamp server | 21:45 |
| Goosemoose | usually they use CentOS or something | 21:45 |
| Goosemoose | not going to be a big difference | 21:45 |
| fbc | Goosemoose, I'ma debian guy, not a redhat guy, so centos would be having to learn something else... | 21:46 |
| Goosemoose | ubuntu and debian are very similar | 21:47 |
| Goosemoose | from my experience | 21:47 |
| fbc | Goosemoose, which is why I thought it would not be a bad idea to switch.. If ubuntu-server gives me more support or something, I would probably consider it.. | 21:48 |
