stwestonDoes anyone know any commands to use for installing Ubuntu Server thru the Shell?05:28
stwestonbecause I don't have a CD-R drive that works under the Linux kernel.05:28
stwestonI mean, it boots the CD fine, but nothing works right after loading the linux kernel and it tries to detect the CD-R drive.05:28
Adoleostweston: There's a tutorial out on Google somewhere, but I tried it and it was not easy05:29
stwestonoh?05:29
AdoleoDo you have a USB-key lying around anythwere?05:30
stwestonI have a memory card & USB adapter.05:30
stweston1GB, too.05:30
Adoleostweston: I found that to be a lot easier to deal with.  1GB is plenty05:30
stwestonok05:30
Adoleostweston: Let me see if I can find the howto I used05:30
stwestonall right.05:30
stwestonAdoleo: wait - is it a liveUSB thing?05:31
Adoleostweston: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about05:31
stwestonAdoleo: because that's not going to work, necessarily.05:31
Adoleostweston: Won't work for you?05:31
stwestonAdoleo: you see, I'm on a mac, and I need the instructions up so that I don't goof.05:31
AdoleoAh - using VMware?05:31
stwestonAdoleo: if I boot into linux (or even re-boot, for that matter) on my mac, it doesn't work. no, it's actually VirtualBox.05:32
stwestonI mean, it kind of defeats the purpose, in a reverse way.05:32
Adoleostweston: Okay, I've got some experience with Virtualbox.  You can actually mount the .iso directly from the hard drive with VirtualBox.  You're talking about installing Ubuntu into a virtualized Virtualbox environment, right?05:33
stwestonno.05:33
Adoleostweston: Okay, I'm confused then.  :-)05:34
stwestonI'm talking about installing ubuntu server (or xubuntu) onto another machine, which doesn't have a good cd-r drive.05:34
stwestonI have the cmd line up and everything for server.05:34
stwestonbut it's just on the CD05:34
Adoleostweston: Okay, now I'm starting to understand.  Are you looking for a way to install Ubuntu over your network connection, then?05:35
stwestonI DO, however, have an ethernet cable.05:35
stwestonI suppose...05:35
stwestonthe box doesn't have wi-fi, but I've got ethernet hooked up05:36
stwestonand the mac has wi-fi05:36
Adoleostweston: Okay, then this is what I was thinking of initially.  A netinst is not pretty, but it's possible.05:36
stwestonokay05:37
stwestonI think I understood that when I first tried... LOL05:37
=== macd_ is now known as macd
stwestonbut I'm not even sure if I got the first step05:37
stweston=)05:38
Adoleostweston: I'm looking for the tutorial I tried before.05:38
stwestonall right05:38
Adoleostweston: Is your server box operational on the network - does it have a working operating system right now?05:38
stwestonit has Windows 98, but it doesn't work w/ the ethernet for some reason.... can't find the driver.05:39
stwestonand w/o wi-fi, it doesn't work for sure.05:39
stwestonI mean, it for sure doesn't work.05:39
Adoleostweston: Okay, this is definitely not going to be easy without a working CD drive.  You can do a netinst from an SSH connection, but that's only if another version of Linux is already installed.05:39
stwestonhm...05:40
stwestonnope. I have ubuntu on a VM on my mac, tho05:40
Adoleostweston: Have you tried re-burning the install disc in case there were errors on the media?  I've had that problem before.05:40
stwestonI have - many times - for both server and xubuntu.05:40
Adoleostweston: That's good that you have Ubuntu on the mac, but without something to connect to on the server machine there's not much to work with.05:41
stwestonaah05:41
stwestonwhat do you mean?05:41
stwestonthe ethernet is plugged in on the PC, and with linux, it might even have the right drivers.05:41
Adoleostweston: Okay, let me switch gears then.  On your server PC, are you able to get far enough in the installation to reach the console?05:42
stwestonyes05:42
stwestonI'm there already, in fact.05:43
stwestonyou mean the ~ #?05:43
Adoleostweston: Okay, do you know if it has a working net connection?  Can you ping a random site like Yahoo.com?05:43
stwestonnot sure... don't know how05:43
stwestonI'm new to linux, kinda.05:43
Adoleostweston: Got it, we all have to start somewhere.  :-)  Try this in the command line: ping yahoo.com05:44
stwestonokay05:44
AdoleoAfter it hits yahoo.com a few times, hit CTRL+C to stop it05:44
stwestonokay05:44
stweston"host name lookup failure"05:44
AdoleoOkay, no net connectino.05:44
stwestonso, there isn't a connection... yeath05:45
stwestonyeah*05:45
stwestonhow would I find the ethernet card?05:45
stwestonI just installed it today, so that might be a problem.05:45
AdoleoThat's an automatic part of the installation, but it needs to load some packages before that works.  If it can't access the CD, then it can't access those packages.05:46
stwestonaah05:46
stwestonwell, I'll go back to prompt F1, then...05:46
stwestonthe error there is "no common cd-rom drive was detected"05:46
stweston... you may need to load drivers form a driver floppy.05:47
stwestonso, is that a problem?05:47
Adoleostweston: Yeah, that's definitely it.  Got a few extra dollars to buy a new CDR?  :-)05:47
stwestonnot exactly... more in the negative many extra dollars.05:48
stwestonI still need to pay back my mom for some purchases (she has all my money, and I'm still a kid)05:48
stwestonwell, I'm a teenager, but that's kind of a kid.05:48
stwestonI mean - she has access to all my money.05:49
Adoleostweston: :-)  Got it.  We've all been there.05:49
stwestonLOL05:49
Adoleostweston: Got some floppy disks lying around?05:49
stwestonyeah. why? I don't know how to load them if I just have my mac and a semi-functional win 98.05:49
Adoleostweston: I might be able to find a good tutorial05:50
stwestonokay05:50
stwestonwell, that's useful05:50
Adoleostweston: Here we go - with this tutorial, you first install Debian using floppies, and then use that to install Ubuntu05:51
Adoleohttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies05:51
Adoleostweston: Since you're still learning Linux, though, you'll probably have to try this one a few times before it works.  Make sure to set aside a few hours and expect it to break a few times.05:52
stwestonwait - do I need to use the floppies in win98 or what?05:52
stwestonokay05:52
Adoleostweston: Does your mac not have a floppy drive?05:53
stwestonno. it's a new MacBook05:53
Adoleostweston: lol - you're hitting roadblocks at every turn05:53
stwestonnot even a PS/1 port05:53
stwestonLOL. I know05:53
Adoleostweston: I hate to tell you this, but you might want to wait until you can get a hold of a replacement CD-ROM drive.05:54
stwestonall right. that's what others have said, too.05:55
stwestonthanks for the help, anyway! I just got a reply for a forum topic about drivers for this CD drive!!05:55
Adoleostweston: Nice - hopefully that will turn out to be a good lead.  Good luck05:56
stwestonyup05:56
stwestonthanks!05:56
stweston1 final note, tho05:56
stwestonthese people in the Ubuntu community are REALLY helpful05:56
Adoleostweston: I'm glad to hear it!  I think we're all just thrilled that we get this fantastic software for free, and we all want to pay it forward.05:57
stwestonyeah05:57

scuserslangasek: but I couldn't find pam_krb5 after I've installed libpam-krb5, any ideas08:56
slangasekscuser: it's not a command, it's a pam module.  You have to configure /etc/pam.d/common-* to use it; there are probably howtos somewhere that explain it08:58

Thebansorry for the silly question but what is the command for making a folder readonly to a user but still full access for root?09:15
ropetinTheban: Do you want it to be readonly to all users or just one in particular?09:21
sh4lindevchown root folder; chmod 644 folder09:22
Thebanread-only to the user that currently has read/write privs09:22
ropetinWhat sh4lindev just mentioned will give the owner read/write, the group and world read only09:23
ropetinDoes that do what you want?09:23
Thebanso it will change the owner to root and make everyone else read-only09:24
Theban?09:24
ropetinNo, you would need to 'chown root:root filename' to change the owner09:24
Thebanok, so i have a folder in which a user owns and has read/write permissions09:25
Thebani want that user to have read-only permissions09:25
ropetinso 'chown -R root:root /folder/location;09:26
ropetin' sorry09:26
ropetinThen do what sh4lindev mentioned09:26
Thebanchown -R root:root /folder/location && chown root /folder/location && chmod 644 /folder/location09:28
Thebanyes?09:28
ropetindon't need the middle chown09:29

gianniclient2 is 10.1.1.10310:08

gianniikonia please see conf file..10:09
ikoniaI've just looked10:10
ikoniawhat vpn daemon are you using ?10:10

Deepsgianni: http://openvpn.net/howto.html#pki10:11

giannimy question is: It`s possible make a VPN with 1 server and 2 client with onlyone key and no cert ecc. ?10:13

ikoniagianni: you need to setup the certs10:15
gianniikonia yes it is10:16
giannino it isnt10:16
giannii can use single key too.10:16
hadsThen OpenVPN docs on their site are pretty good. I've read through them and they do cover what you're asking.10:16
ikoniagianni: I'm scan reading it now - and to get multiple clients running you'll need to set up a multiple client config that is the certificate method in that guide10:16
ikoniagianni: if you know you can use a single key - why are you asking if you can10:16
gianniikonia because i dont know how to edit my conf10:17
Thebansudo rmdir -r folder10:17
Theban?10:17

melteri have a server w/ 2 scsi cards, 2 drives on each (4 total); how do i get the installer to install a mbr?21:20
=== nxvl_ is now known as nxvl
melteris there a step-by-step, detailed document for installing ubuntu server?21:44

nxvlsommer: btw, i was looking for an opevpn guide yesterday and i noticed that we haven't one on the server guide, any plans for it?21:52
lamontnxvl: say like a link to openvpn's howto?21:52
nxvllamont: i'm not sure about linking external howto's into the server guid21:53

meltermathiaz: is that all? nothing step-by-step, including how to configure grub?21:57
mathiazmelter: the installer should take care of installing grub correctly (at least on the primary disk in your case)21:58
meltermathiaz: it's not, though21:58
melteri tried booting from all 4 drives, one by one, and none has a mbr21:58
melteri tried running the grub install from the menu, but it doesn't prompt me21:59
melterthis is happening on 2 of my 4 servers21:59
melterso it's not just 1 server21:59
mathiazmelter: but the installer correctly detects your four drives and is able to install the system on one of them ?22:02
nxvlmelter: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/installing-from-cd.html22:04
meltermathiaz: yes, i'm splitting the install across all 4, no problem22:05
meltereverything works great, but i just can't boot22:05
nxvlmelter: did it promts grub on install?22:06
nxvlerr22:06
nxvlon boot22:06
melterno22:07
nxvlnot even that?22:07
melteri have an old lilo boot from a previous install, it finds that, but just prints "L 99 99 99....."22:07
mathiazmelter: right - so you're using a RAID setup ?22:07
melterbut that's supposed to be overwritten, because the system it's looking for no longer exists22:07
meltermathiaz: no, one drive has /, one has /home, one has /usr/local, and one has /boot, swap, and /opt22:08
melterno raid, no lvm, no encryption, nothing fancy, just plain old ext3 (ext2 for /boot)22:09
mathiazmelter: why do you want to put /boot on its own drive ?22:10
meltermathiaz: /boot, /opt, and swap are three partitions on the smaller drive22:10
mathiazmelter: try to put /boot on the same drive as / - your setup may confuse the installer.22:13
meltermathiaz: ok, i'll give that a shot22:13
bdmurraymathiaz: is that print-server bug not that important or ?22:18
FFEMTcJi was told that there is something i can install from the repos  that will take my server install back to default.. does anyone know anything about this?22:19
mathiazbdmurray: it's a suggestion that should be discussed - but it's not critical.22:19
bdmurraymathiaz: I'll set the importance to Low? to reflect that then22:20
mathiazbdmurray: wfm22:21
mathiazsommer: I'm reviewing the ldap section of the server guide.22:22
mathiazsommer: I think the usage of slapadd should be replaced with ldapadd in the section about ldap population22:22
mathiazsommer: so that you don't have to stop the server when adding new entries.22:22
infinitymathiaz: Nonsense, slapcat/sed/slapadd are the way and the light!22:24
infinitymathiaz: (And this is why no one lets me administer LDAP systems...)22:24
meltermathiaz: i got rid of /boot, and it still doesn't work22:41
