I tried apt-get -f remove apache2 / apt-get --purge remove apache2 / .. then installing again and many different combinations with apache2 and apache2.2-common.. but nothing appears to make the /etc/apache2 directory or the init.d/apache2 file... ideas? [04:11] szx0, conffiles are not removed [04:11] szx0, you must remove them [04:14] szx0: I believe the conffiles are owned by apache2.2-common, so that apt-get --purge remove apache2.2-common should give you a clean slate [04:14] purging apache2 will not automatically purge the packages that it depends on [04:14] Purging apache2.2-common does not work [04:14] what files are left behind when you purge apache2.2-common? [04:16] hmm okay brilliant its doing something different now [04:16] last time I did sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2 apache2-common and it only remove 94kb of stuff [04:16] i meant apache2.2-common [04:17] now just doing sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2.2-common it got rid of 33megs of stuff [04:20] you'd probably already removed it [04:23] \quit [04:30] sooooooooooooren [04:31] * kgoetz smacks lukehasnoname` for join-and-ping [04:31] ow [04:35] 1) We need a better name for "Basic Ubuntu Server", as decided. 2) I was thinking, it would be cool to be able to choose your scripting language for a web server (I guess you're already on that path with RoR). As in, when you choose 'Web Server', you then choose PHP, Python, or Ruby for the language. 3) make the ubuntu server guide more easily accessible than "w3m /usr/shar/ubuntu-serverguide/html/c/index.htm [04:38] 1. cant comment. 2. that would be more qustions asked,, which i think is not what ubuntu usually does, 3. how more accessable? in text? [04:42] 1) In intrepid, a new box in tasksel currently called "Basic Ubuntu Server" installs the server guide (HTML), w3m, patch, and something else. I suggested it needs a more suitable name. 2) Since PHP is no longer as dominant as it once was, I thought it would appeal to people looking to get their Python or Rails projects up quickly. 3) Perhaps a symlink or a w3m launcher in the original user's home directory to [04:51] 1. i see, not tried intrepid. 2. you could try and support 'the big 4' - perl/python/php/rails (although rails needs more intgration work), but could turn into a lot of work. 3. if motd says 'for help run w3m' i dont think filling homes with rubish is needed [04:53] I agree [04:54] a modified motd (if server guide is installed) could say "For help, see /path [04:54] " [04:57] g2g do some homework before bed [05:38] hello [07:18] can ubuntu be used as a user server for windows? [07:19] 'user server'? [07:20] * _ruben thinks ADS [07:20] yeah like how businesses and schools give usernames to people to allow them to login on any pc on the network. [07:21] Yes; Ubuntu with Samba can be used as an NT4-style domain controller for Windows [07:23] and if your luck enough to have no doze boxes, you can probably use ldap [07:23] no doze boxes? [07:24] presumably that doesn't help with the use case he's interested in given the question he asked [07:26] yeah. but i thought i'd put it into the logs anyway [07:27] no doze? [07:27] elab. [07:39] ok thanks [07:40] what is no doze? [07:40] doze being slang for Windows [07:42] ah [07:42] I thought he mean 24/7 uptime [07:42] ah so i figured. [07:42] ok so i will research samba [07:43] thnk slangasek [07:43] sure [07:46] you wouldn't happen to know of a tutorial for how to set up samba as a username server? [07:47] http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/index.html maybe [07:47] no clue [07:49] there are probably a number of tutorials out there; the keywords are samba+pdc+nt4 [07:50] http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/samba-pdc.html looks promising [07:50] IIRC sambas package (or its -docs package) contains lots of info on the subject - i'll be looking into it this weekend myself [07:51] thank everyone....im gonna give it a try...beats the price of windows server [07:51] yes, the above samba.org link points to the Samba-HOWTO-Collection, which is also in the samba-doc package [07:52] ah, nod.

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [10:52] question: likewise-open in hardy shipped /usr/lib/libwbclient0.so. In intrepid, libwbclient0 (samba dep) ships /usr/lib/libwbclient0.so, while likewise-open uses one in /usr/lib/likewise-open/libwbclient0.so. Hardy (with samba+likewise-open installed) -> Intrepid upgrades fail, because libwbclient0 is installed before likewise-open is upgraded. Is there any way of making dist-upgrade process likewise-open upgrade before libwbclient0 is installed ? [10:55] Koon: Yes. [10:56] soren: good news. How ? [10:57] Koon: You add "Conflicts: likewise-open (some version specifier)\nReplaces: likewise-open (some version specifier)" to the new libwbclient0 package. [10:58] soren: ok so that would be a fix in libwbclient rather than in likewise-open. After all, it's the one stepping on the other's toes. [11:00] Right.

[11:54] I want to execute a command from a server, but the ssh client asks for password , is there a way to pass the password to the login ? [11:55] ghaleb: as Kamping_Kaiser said, generate a ssh key and use this instead [11:55] I made it, but I have a problem that I tried to solve [11:55] but it didn't work [11:55] I create public an private keys [11:55] ghaleb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto should explain this in detail [11:56] nijaba: I know how to do it, but it didn't work for one client only [11:56] I mean, I made it manytimes , but one client can't connect , the server asks for password, despite it has the public key copied [11:57] ghaleb: so you have other clients that can connect using the same key to the same server but not this one? [11:57] exactly [11:58] ghaleb: and all client should be identical, or are there some differences? [11:58] all clients using the same key? o_0 [11:58] no, I generated keys using ssh-keygen [11:58] copied the public key to authorized_keys2 [11:58] and connect using private [11:58] I made that on three clients, but one of them doesn't work [11:59] did you use ssh-copy-id?

[12:10] okay [12:10] what do u suggest [12:11] ghaleb, those are kind of old instructions - i belive even upstream openssh ship ssh-copy-id these days. [12:11] ghaleb, follow the SSHowto nijaba sugested. you'll have keys, you just need to look at the copying bit. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto#Public%20key%20authentication [12:11] waho.

[13:21] i guers you could backport both [13:50] AnRkey: I am curently backporting it [13:51] (with iptables) [14:18] Hello, I have an Ubuntu server running with MySQL. The data in the MySQL database is the only thing that changes on the server. I need to backup this server. I need minimal down time. I was thinking to use dd to clone the full disk to a second drive in the server (can I do this while the server is running). And to backup the MySQL database seperatly at scheduled intervals. When the disk fails, I should be able to just boot from disk 2 [14:18] didrocks, will it have port forwarding? [14:19] I'm new at this, does this sound good to you? Any suggestions? [14:19] didrocks, i have test box's here if you want me to make it work a bit [14:19] i found the debs but they need iptables 1.4 [14:19] I was wondering what the best mail/group ware type system was these days? or is there even one that ubuntu promotes use of? [14:19] will it lose anything in the backport? [14:20] since it wont have 1.4 [14:25] finalbeta_, rsync > dd i expect [14:26] finalbeta_: if you want no downtime, use replication to a slave server, then backup the slave [14:26] finalbeta_, it comes down to 'how bad is downtime' [14:26] as to what you use to avoid it [14:26] incorrect, groupware in what way? [14:27] Kamping_Kaiser, I don't understand the rsync, doesn't seem to help me in this case. Wont backup the mysql or give me a booting disk. [14:27] Kamping_Kaiser, like zimbra [14:27] jdstrand, Kamping_Kaiser, downtime o a couple of hours max is not that much of a problem. the shorter the better, but I can compromise [14:28] I have a single server running a sort of web server with mysql backend. Only the MySQL changes. I need to be able to recover when the disk fails. [14:30] so I was thinking dd the disk every few months at maintainances. and backup the database to a remote server every night. allowing me to put in the disk when the server fails, and just restore the database. [14:32] rsync wont be able to correctly backup the mysql, unless I shut down the database. (which is an option at night). but it wont leave me with a bootable disk. [14:35] i doubt dd will give you a bootable disk either tbh [14:36] * Kamping_Kaiser splits [14:38] in my syslog i get iptables infos like: (...) kernel: IN= OUT=eth0 (...) --> why is the Input information empty? [14:38] does it come from nowhere? :P [14:40] Originating interface is unknown in the OUTPUT chain. [14:41] Kamping_Kaiser, for what I read, it does, that's the whole point of it.

Describing the actual problem increases your odds. [16:47] jdstrand: your grsec kernel will almost certainly carry the restricted /proc patch [16:48] heh [16:48] nomoa: ^ [16:48] nomoa: if it's your own kernel, check the docs and see if there is a sysctl setting or recompile it without restricted /proc [16:48] jdstrand, thank you to point me to this grsec stuff... I'll look at there [16:49] jdstrand, nope it was installed by our provider [16:49] jdstrand, annoying parano stuff [16:49] grsec is actually great, imho [16:50] ScottK:ivoks: I installed ircd-hybrid: "apt-get install icrd-hybrid", then did and upgrade and update: "apt-get upgrade", "apt-get update". Now cygwin does not connect via xwin from my Windows box to the unbuntu server. [16:50] * ScottK isn't the right guy to help with IRC stuff. [16:50] ivoks, it breaks many things, not so linux philosophy IMHO [16:50] it is in certain situations, but it is interesting that in this instance, a user may end up with less security because of working around restricted /proc (eg, running zabbix as root) [16:50] nomoa: it does break things; already broken things :) [16:51] Lifer: i doubt it's realted to ubuntu [16:51] ivoks, not sure : look at zabbix, is it broken to monitor stuff? :) [16:52] ivoks: I installed ircd-hybrid: "apt-get install icrd-hybrid", then did and upgrade and update: "apt-get upgrade", "apt-get update". Now cygwin does not connect via xwin from my Windows box to the unbuntu server. [16:52] ScottK: Not irc prob, but upgrades prob, IMHO [16:52] nomoa: i've never looked at zabbix, but i can tell for sure that zenos is totally broken [16:53] Lifer: did it upgrade anything? [16:53] Yes. Is there a log I can inspect? [16:53] /var/log/dpkg.log [16:53] ivoks: Yes. Is there a log I can inspect? [16:54] er.. zenoss, not zenos [16:56] ivoks: upgraded: postfix, triggeres-pending, libc6 [16:57] so, nothing relevant for network [16:57] i'd bet on windows firewall... [17:05] ivoks: no change to windows. Cygwin/Xwin works with other unbuntu server. Other Client Cygwin/Xwin does not work, also. [17:06] Lifer: it's ubuntu [17:06] not unbuntu [17:07] try 'telnet your_ubuntu_server 6000' [17:08] and see it that works; if you can connect, than everything is ok, if you can't connect then x11 service is not started on ubuntu server [17:08] ivoks: I removed ircd-hypbrid, rebooted server. XWin now works [17:08] which brings us to question 'how come we talk about GUI on server channel?' [17:08] right, reboot usually starts all services :) [17:09] ivoks: It didn't work when I rebooted with ircd-hybrid installed [17:09] maybe you've configured ircd to listen on port 6000? [17:10] hmmm [17:11] it should listen at 6665, 6666, 6667, 6668 and 6669 [17:11] ivoks: I configured nothing wrt ircd-hybrid. Does that use the same ports as Xwin? I thought IRC used 6667 [17:12] ivoks: BTW, IRC did not work wither [17:12] *either [17:12] Lifer: well, i don't know [17:13] ivoks: is there a file that lists who is using which ports? [17:14] /etc/services [17:15] ivoks: I'll reinstall ircd-hybrid and see which ports it tries to use. be back in a bit. [17:16] i've told you which it uses [17:17] ivoks: It should also work. But it got that wrong, too. [17:20] how much different is the server verison over the desktop [17:20] ivoks: The install sequence was different this time (post upgrade). [17:25] ivoks: is /etc/services the ports that this installation is using, or a list of recommend/supported ports? [17:26] too many questions and i don't have time [17:34] is there a way to know kernel config options without the .config nor /proc/config.gz file...? (desperate) [17:41] nomoa: what is the problem with those files? [17:43] jmedina, I need to know the value of a kernel config parameter, but the guy how installed the system did not leave the config files [17:44] nomoa: which parameter? [17:44] maybe someone here know how to check it [17:44] jmedina, CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_PROC_GID [17:45] isnt there any grsec specific option to check that? [17:46] all grsec config is done inside the kernel, but ovh (our provider) do not give the .config [17:46] so I don't know what is the right group to put zabbix in in order to have access to /proc [17:48] nomoa: dont you have any other app integrated with grsec? maybe you can compare it [17:49] * jmedina loves that kind ob obscurity, I mean security....

Now it won't connect at all! [20:44] * Smelne laughs hysterically [20:45] jeje [20:45] Smelne: first, could you see your virtual users? [20:49] I just noticed a strange discrepancy. pure-pw is looking for pureftpd.passwd in /etc/pure-ftpd, but that file is located in /etc [20:50] my 45auth file points to /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb [20:50] Got it, finally got the user infpo [20:50] Smelne: try -f option with pure-pw [20:51] I have, that gave me the user info [20:53] I "successfully" installed jailkit, but ssh session closes immediately after logging on. auth.log show 1) accepted password, 2) session opened, 3) entering jail and 4) session closed... all within a second. Any ideas why I can'r keep a session open? [20:55] jmedina, ever since i made the symlink, all connections are refused to the FTP server. [20:58] jmedina, are you still there? [20:58] yeap [21:01] gettin an error when i boot up -- eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device - -where to start _ the device is there [21:02] jmedina, I've removed the symlink, and instead of flatout resetting the connection, it again fails to authenticate. Call me crazy, but it looks like progress to me. [21:02] Smelne: did you restart pure-ftpd? [21:03] w8tah, what does dmesg say about the device? [21:03] jmedina, Several times. I'll try to re-create the symlink [21:03] stop it, check that there is no pure-ftp remaining, and then start it again, somethings it does not dies [21:03] it happened to me [21:03] fozilla: looking [21:03] The system monitor shows that it's not running, and so does top, and pidof [21:05] Newbie to IRC channel: I'm unable to update server -Errors were encountered while processing: [21:05] /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-5.0_5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.3_i386.deb [21:05] any advice? [21:09] jarlo: is that all? [21:10] jarlo: do you have free space? [21:10] fozilla: i see the drivers for both nicks initializing, and a rather cryptic message about udev changing the name of eth0 to eth3 [21:10] thats it [21:10] fozilla: in addition -- lspci shows both nicks [21:11] jarlo, what error came up before that? [21:11] jmedina, thanks for your help, i think we'll just have to go with another FTP server to replace pure-ftpd. Any suggestions? [21:11] Smelne: I dont recomend other than pure-ftpd [21:12] smelne, could you try to run pure-ftpd manually? [21:12] Maybe, but pure-ftpd just don't seem to want to play nice anymore [21:12] not with the debian/ubuntu scripts (pure-ftp-wrapper) [21:14] jmedina, If i run pure-ftpd manually, i get a permission denied. Running it as root (*shudder*), gives no feedback [21:14] yes plenty of space [21:14] Smelne: wait, did you tell it to use pure-ftpd? [21:14] pure-db [21:15] w8tah: not sure how that happened, but a few posts seem have similar issues... they solved it by editing the persistent net rules in /etc/udev/rules.d [21:15] previous error [21:15] Preparing to replace mysql-server-5.0 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5 (using .../mysql-server-5.0_5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.3_i386.deb) ...

[21:15] jmedina, We've been using pureadmin from day one, i have no idea what the command line should look like [21:15] yes sort of - -i moved the hdd adn memory to an identical chassis after the previous one had a mobo issue [21:17] try something like [21:17] /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l puredb:/etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb [21:17] never used pureadmin [21:20] jmedina, someone should tell you everyday that he or she loves you. I'm in! [21:20] Hi all [21:20] Smelne: I prefer a beer [21:20] :P [21:21] Did I completely imagine that there was a metapackage for a lamp server? [21:21] Smelne: so , is it working? [21:21] Then consider yourself loved by a keg of beer ;-) [21:21] yes [21:21] Now... Time to put that command in a script for easy starting. [21:22] Smelne: please, run this [21:22] stop pure-ftpd manually, double check that there is no pure-ftpd process running [21:22] and then [21:22] bash -x /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start [21:22] and give me the last line, the one whose launches /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd bla bla bla bla [21:22] Also should probably include the final two errors. Which suggests the process could not remove the older mysql version. I'm new to linux server admin so struggling a bit. Any help would be great. dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...

[21:31] what? [21:31] is it working? [21:32] LOL, sorry, i was attacked by a killer caps lock key. Yes, it's working. I have started the daemon from pureadmin again, and it's running, and logins are working again [21:33] fozilla: can you point me to one of the entries about udev changing the interface name - im not sure how to edit those rules -- but its driving me NUTS [21:33] Smelne: Im not sure, but I think pureadmin is the one who created the puredb file in /etc [21:34]
