[02:00] does anyone know what package i need to install to take ubuntu server back to its default state? [02:51] zul: around ? [02:56] hey dendrobates [02:56] * antdedyet heads home, bbiab [02:59] un there is a critial bug in hardy mysql-server [02:59] s/critical/critical/ [03:51] kirkland: ping [04:10] kirkland: just fyi, I filed a pkgsel bug #273823 [04:10] Launchpad bug 273823 in pkgsel "pkgsel can't find unattended-upgrades" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/273823 === macd_ is now known as macd [05:28] Does anyone know any commands to use for installing Ubuntu Server thru the Shell? [05:28] because I don't have a CD-R drive that works under the Linux kernel. [05:28] I mean, it boots the CD fine, but nothing works right after loading the linux kernel and it tries to detect the CD-R drive. [05:29] stweston: There's a tutorial out on Google somewhere, but I tried it and it was not easy [05:29] oh? [05:30] Do you have a USB-key lying around anythwere? [05:30] I have a memory card & USB adapter. [05:30] 1GB, too. [05:30] stweston: I found that to be a lot easier to deal with. 1GB is plenty [05:30] ok [05:30] stweston: Let me see if I can find the howto I used [05:30] all right. [05:31] Adoleo: wait - is it a liveUSB thing? [05:31] stweston: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about [05:31] Adoleo: because that's not going to work, necessarily. [05:31] stweston: Won't work for you? [05:31] Adoleo: you see, I'm on a mac, and I need the instructions up so that I don't goof. [05:31] Ah - using VMware? [05:32] Adoleo: 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] I mean, it kind of defeats the purpose, in a reverse way. [05:33] stweston: 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] no. [05:34] stweston: Okay, I'm confused then. :-) [05:34] I'm talking about installing ubuntu server (or xubuntu) onto another machine, which doesn't have a good cd-r drive. [05:34] I have the cmd line up and everything for server. [05:34] but it's just on the CD [05:35] stweston: Okay, now I'm starting to understand. Are you looking for a way to install Ubuntu over your network connection, then? [05:35] I DO, however, have an ethernet cable. [05:35] I suppose... [05:36] the box doesn't have wi-fi, but I've got ethernet hooked up [05:36] and the mac has wi-fi [05:36] stweston: Okay, then this is what I was thinking of initially. A netinst is not pretty, but it's possible. [05:37] okay [05:37] I think I understood that when I first tried... LOL === macd_ is now known as macd [05:37] but I'm not even sure if I got the first step [05:38] =) [05:38] stweston: I'm looking for the tutorial I tried before. [05:38] all right [05:38] stweston: Is your server box operational on the network - does it have a working operating system right now? [05:39] it has Windows 98, but it doesn't work w/ the ethernet for some reason.... can't find the driver. [05:39] and w/o wi-fi, it doesn't work for sure. [05:39] I mean, it for sure doesn't work. [05:39] stweston: 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. [05:40] hm... [05:40] nope. I have ubuntu on a VM on my mac, tho [05:40] stweston: Have you tried re-burning the install disc in case there were errors on the media? I've had that problem before. [05:40] I have - many times - for both server and xubuntu. [05:41] stweston: 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] aah [05:41] what do you mean? [05:41] the ethernet is plugged in on the PC, and with linux, it might even have the right drivers. [05:42] stweston: 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] yes [05:43] I'm there already, in fact. [05:43] you mean the ~ #? [05:43] stweston: Okay, do you know if it has a working net connection? Can you ping a random site like Yahoo.com? [05:43] not sure... don't know how [05:43] I'm new to linux, kinda. [05:44] stweston: Got it, we all have to start somewhere. :-) Try this in the command line: ping yahoo.com [05:44] okay [05:44] After it hits yahoo.com a few times, hit CTRL+C to stop it [05:44] okay [05:44] "host name lookup failure" [05:44] Okay, no net connectino. [05:45] so, there isn't a connection... yeath [05:45] yeah* [05:45] how would I find the ethernet card? [05:45] I just installed it today, so that might be a problem. [05:46] That'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] aah [05:46] well, I'll go back to prompt F1, then... [05:46] the error there is "no common cd-rom drive was detected" [05:47] ... you may need to load drivers form a driver floppy. [05:47] so, is that a problem? [05:47] stweston: Yeah, that's definitely it. Got a few extra dollars to buy a new CDR? :-) [05:48] not exactly... more in the negative many extra dollars. [05:48] I still need to pay back my mom for some purchases (she has all my money, and I'm still a kid) [05:48] well, I'm a teenager, but that's kind of a kid. [05:49] I mean - she has access to all my money. [05:49] stweston: :-) Got it. We've all been there. [05:49] LOL [05:49] stweston: Got some floppy disks lying around? [05:49] yeah. why? I don't know how to load them if I just have my mac and a semi-functional win 98. [05:50] stweston: I might be able to find a good tutorial [05:50] okay [05:50] well, that's useful [05:51] stweston: Here we go - with this tutorial, you first install Debian using floppies, and then use that to install Ubuntu [05:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies [05:52] stweston: 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] wait - do I need to use the floppies in win98 or what? [05:52] okay [05:53] stweston: Does your mac not have a floppy drive? [05:53] no. it's a new MacBook [05:53] stweston: lol - you're hitting roadblocks at every turn [05:53] not even a PS/1 port [05:53] LOL. I know [05:54] stweston: I hate to tell you this, but you might want to wait until you can get a hold of a replacement CD-ROM drive. [05:55] all right. that's what others have said, too. [05:55] thanks for the help, anyway! I just got a reply for a forum topic about drivers for this CD drive!! [05:56] stweston: Nice - hopefully that will turn out to be a good lead. Good luck [05:56] yup [05:56] thanks! [05:56] 1 final note, tho [05:56] these people in the Ubuntu community are REALLY helpful [05:57] stweston: 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] yeah [05:57] that's sweet [05:57] stweston: That's what Open Source is built on [05:57] I know! [05:57] see ya, then. [05:58] * hads likes friendly people [05:58] * Adoleo does too [06:11] hey guys, i'm having a very bizarre problem on a fresh install of Hardy 8.04.1 -- I can ssh to my box fine, but scp simply hangs. I can't even do a basic "ssh user@host uname" - it just hangs. any ideas? [06:24] hellooo any one can help me??? [06:25] * ASASA any one live!! [06:31] * Adoleo is live [06:31] * Adoleo is breathing [06:31] * Adoleo wants to go to bed, though. :-) === ASASA is now known as dimaz_kecebur [06:52] hopefully someone can help -- very weird SSH problem. sshing to my hardy server box works fine, I get a shell no problems; whenever I try to SCP or include a command as an argument (ie ssh user@host uname), it simply hangs and doesn't do anything [07:22] I'm installing phpbb2 on my Ubuntu Server 8.04 and it's stopped on "Creating MySQL tables if they don't exist yet" [07:22] it's created 30 tables and isn't doing anything anymore [07:23] thoughts? [07:44] hello [07:44] hello, i needed to send mail from my server via smtp (mailboxes are handled by google), so i installed postfix, i chose "internet site" during setup do i need to configure it further, so its secure , or can i leave it as it is now after install ? [07:53] Theban: how are you installing? [07:53] sudo aptitude install phpbb2 [07:53] i have no gui what-so-ever [07:53] Ergo^: thought about something like ssmtp? If the bugs dont worry you, its nice and small [07:54] kgoetz: well id rather stick with more "standard" solutions for now. [07:54] Theban: so im following you - apt has still not returned you to your CLI? [07:54] CLI? [07:54] Theban: command line [07:55] ah yes [07:55] it's just stopped [08:19] Is there a standard command that works across all distros to figure out what distro you're on? [08:20] O_O [08:20] good question [08:24] Theban: :) [08:30] hi all, I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and I want to install login.kbr5, does anyone know which package should I install ? [08:34] krb5-rsh-server [08:38] moin [08:42] soren: ok done, how can I use it ? [08:46] scuser: What do you mean? [08:47] soren: I mean that I've created some users such as admin/admin and I want to authenticate them using kerberos [08:49] authenticate them remotely, or locally? [08:49] when i type something like a command with --help and it shows a bunch of info [08:50] how can i see it so i don't miss the top of it [08:50] gets cut off [08:51] Theban: "something --help | less" [08:51] slangasek: locally [08:51] <_ruben> use shift-pageup to scroll up? :) [08:51] Theban: You mean how do you see the whole screen? You can't scroll? [08:51] scuser: typically one uses pam_krb5 for that [08:51] i have no gui [08:51] i.e., the libpam-krb5 package [08:51] need to see it by page or soemthing [08:51] Theban: If you're running in screen you can ctrl-ESC and then page up / down to go back / forward [08:52] <_ruben> Theban: the console has a scrollback buffer as well [08:52] Theban: blah --help | less as soren said, or shft-pgup/pgdn [08:52] oh sorry [08:52] <_ruben> Theban: but per page: somecommand | more [08:55] Does anyone have experience with rsyslog? [08:55] http://paste2.org/p/78076 - is it safe how i set up my hostname, origin and destination ? [08:56] slangasek: but I couldn't find pam_krb5 after I've installed libpam-krb5, any ideas [08:58] scuser: 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 it [08:58] sorry, I don't know the locations of any off-hand [08:59] slangasek: ok thanks for the hint anyway I'll try to search for it, thanks for your time :) [09:15] sorry for the silly question but what is the command for making a folder readonly to a user but still full access for root? [09:21] Theban: Do you want it to be readonly to all users or just one in particular? [09:22] chown root folder; chmod 644 folder [09:22] read-only to the user that currently has read/write privs [09:23] What sh4lindev just mentioned will give the owner read/write, the group and world read only [09:23] Does that do what you want? [09:24] so it will change the owner to root and make everyone else read-only [09:24] ? [09:24] No, you would need to 'chown root:root filename' to change the owner [09:25] ok, so i have a folder in which a user owns and has read/write permissions [09:25] i want that user to have read-only permissions [09:26] so 'chown -R root:root /folder/location; [09:26] ' sorry [09:26] Then do what sh4lindev mentioned [09:28] chown -R root:root /folder/location && chown root /folder/location && chmod 644 /folder/location [09:28] yes? [09:29] don't need the middle chown [09:29] ok [09:30] chown -R root:root /folder/location && chmod 644 /folder/location [09:30] all good? [09:31] Yup [09:32] tyvm [09:33] NP!

[10:08] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/50014/ [10:08] client2 is 10.1.1.103 [10:09] gianni you shouldn't need to [10:09] gianni: if you make a vpn connection to the same network - you should be on that network [10:09] ikonia please see conf file.. [10:10] I've just looked [10:10] what vpn daemon are you using ? [10:10] gianni: you need to read the openvpn howto for multiple clients [10:10] is your network offering dhcp ? [10:10] it make a vpn to 10.1.1.101 (server) to 10.1.1.102 (client1) [10:10] gianni: as you're currently configured for a single client on a static key [10:10] deeps true.. i should conf it for two client [10:10] with single key [10:11] how can i change my conf ? some suggest ? [10:11] gianni: http://openvpn.net/howto.html#pki [10:11] gianni: read the howto, it's a long process [10:11] gianni: section: "Setting up your own Certificate Authority (CA) and generating certificates and keys for an OpenVPN server and multiple clients" [10:12] Deeps: good guide [10:12] uhm.. [10:12] i cant use same key with no cert for all clients ? [10:12] gianni: read that guide, it's excellent [10:12] I'd forgot about that guide [10:12] gianni: read the howto, it explains everything in full detail [10:13] i saw that but dont reply to my question. [10:13] gianni: and you'll get better answers from that guide than you will from irc [10:13] gianni: it does, read it from the start. [10:13] my question is: It`s possible make a VPN with 1 server and 2 client with onlyone key and no cert ecc. ? [10:14] gianni: the guide gives you the config to use [10:14] if so, what i should change in my conf? [10:14] ikonia false.. [10:14] It does. [10:14] guide dont reply to it.. [10:14] guide say make cert, make keys bla bla bla.. [10:14] other method. [10:14] howto remove a folder that is not empty? [10:15] Theban: -rf [10:15] ty [10:15] -r alone is probably a better start :) [10:15] gianni: thats the correct method to use [10:15] oh? [10:15] ikonia but my question is different. [10:15] Theban: -f =force [10:15] gianni: no it's not [10:15] gianni: you need to setup the certs [10:16] ikonia yes it is [10:16] no it isnt [10:16] i can use single key too. [10:16] Then OpenVPN docs on their site are pretty good. I've read through them and they do cover what you're asking. [10:16] gianni: 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 guide [10:16] gianni: if you know you can use a single key - why are you asking if you can [10:17] ikonia because i dont know how to edit my conf [10:17] sudo rmdir -r folder [10:17] ? [10:17] gianni: but that guide says to not do that [10:17] theban rm -rf folder [10:17] Theban: Correct. Be careful with that though. [10:17] Theban: sorry rm -r dir [10:18] ty [10:18] Of course I can't read, what ikonia said. [10:18] ikonia: i dont found it.. [10:19] gianni: follow the guide - or don't - it's up to you [10:19] gianni: that guide is excellent though and from the official site and is giving you the "correct" way to do this [10:20] ikonia if i use this method i have one motivation. [10:20] and this howto dont reply to my question. [10:21] gianni: contact open vpn support methods then [10:21] ........... [10:21] gianni: you've been given the correct answer for how to achieve what you want [10:30] i need to give a file read access by anyone [10:30] what is the chmod for that? [10:30] chmod a+r [10:31] sorr [10:31] sorry [10:31] ? [10:31] thats wrong [10:31] do you know it? [10:31] no, it isn't [10:32] okay, a+r works [10:32] but a-r removes read access for everyone [10:32] yes, + is the opposite of - ? [10:34] i'm guessing a+w is write then? lol [10:34] yes. perhaps you would find it helpful to read the chmod manpage? [10:34] good point ^_^ [10:35] thx much [10:35] does vncviewer work only if the computer your connecting to has a gui? [10:35] Theban: Yup [10:36] Otherwise, ssh is probably better [10:36] can windows ssh to a linux server? [10:37] sure google putty.exe [10:37] Yup yup! PuTTY is a popular client [11:12] hiho [11:12] hi [11:12] i search for a simple solution to monitor in the console my apache2 [11:13] i remember under my old Gentoo server i had something included in my apache installation [11:13] Monitor how? [11:13] how many forks are running, how many clients are connected, this kind of stats [11:15] I did run across something like that once. Can't recall the name off the top of my head [11:16] i found apachetop, but its not what i am looking for [11:22] how can i have my ubuntu server run a mount command on startup? [11:24] Theban: Typically if you want to mount something at startup you'd put it in /etc/fstab [11:25] just edit fstab and add the mount line as i would type it? [11:25] err wait [11:25] nvm [11:25] forget i said that haha [11:25] :) [11:25] man fstab and the comments in it will show you [14:09] hello, my freeradius server accept login from radtest using LDAP, but from NAS it doesn't .. saying:rlm_ldap: Attribute "User-Password" is required for authentication.

[21:48] !serverguide | melter [21:48] melter: The Ubuntu server guide may be found at http://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ [21:52] sommer: 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] nxvl: say like a link to openvpn's howto? [21:53] lamont: i'm not sure about linking external howto's into the server guid [21:53] guide* [21:53] nxvl: I didn't have any plans for intrepid, but might not be a bad idea for jaunty [21:54] sommer: :D [21:54] sommer: if it's on your ToDo list i'm happy [21:54] nxvl: the idea is now on the list [21:55] * nxvl HUGS sommer [21:57] mathiaz: is that all? nothing step-by-step, including how to configure grub? [21:58] melter: the installer should take care of installing grub correctly (at least on the primary disk in your case) [21:58] mathiaz: it's not, though [21:58] i tried booting from all 4 drives, one by one, and none has a mbr [21:59] i tried running the grub install from the menu, but it doesn't prompt me [21:59] this is happening on 2 of my 4 servers [21:59] so it's not just 1 server [22:02] melter: but the installer correctly detects your four drives and is able to install the system on one of them ? [22:04] melter: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/installing-from-cd.html [22:05] mathiaz: yes, i'm splitting the install across all 4, no problem [22:05] everything works great, but i just can't boot [22:06] melter: did it promts grub on install? [22:06] err [22:06] on boot [22:07] no [22:07] not even that? [22:07] i have an old lilo boot from a previous install, it finds that, but just prints "L 99 99 99....." [22:07] melter: right - so you're using a RAID setup ? [22:07] but that's supposed to be overwritten, because the system it's looking for no longer exists [22:08] mathiaz: no, one drive has /, one has /home, one has /usr/local, and one has /boot, swap, and /opt [22:09] no raid, no lvm, no encryption, nothing fancy, just plain old ext3 (ext2 for /boot) [22:10] melter: why do you want to put /boot on its own drive ? [22:10] mathiaz: /boot, /opt, and swap are three partitions on the smaller drive [22:13] melter: try to put /boot on the same drive as / - your setup may confuse the installer. [22:13] mathiaz: ok, i'll give that a shot [22:18] mathiaz: is that print-server bug not that important or ? [22:19] i 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] bdmurray: it's a suggestion that should be discussed - but it's not critical. [22:20] mathiaz: I'll set the importance to Low? to reflect that then [22:21] bdmurray: wfm [22:22] sommer: I'm reviewing the ldap section of the server guide. [22:22] sommer: I think the usage of slapadd should be replaced with ldapadd in the section about ldap population [22:22] sommer: so that you don't have to stop the server when adding new entries. [22:24] mathiaz: Nonsense, slapcat/sed/slapadd are the way and the light! [22:24] mathiaz: (And this is why no one lets me administer LDAP systems...) [22:41] mathiaz: i got rid of /boot, and it still doesn't work [23:26] New bug: #274178 in dhcp3 (main) "dhcp3-client can't set IP address due to insufficient rights" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/274178 [23:29] mathiaz: sounds reasonable, I'll update the commands
