| maw | when "apt-get purge" is used and aptitude is identifying "ubuntu-minimal" to be removed as well | 00:57 |
| maw | I assume that would be bad to remove | 00:57 |
| ScottK | maw: Almost certainly whatever you are removing that's part of ubunutu-minimal is something you want to keep on your system. | 02:57 |
| maw | ScottK: indeed, I was just removing all of the dhcpd and dhcp3-server related stufd | 03:34 |
| maw | *stuff | 03:34 |
| ScottK | ubuntu-minimal is just a metapackage, so removing it doesn't actually hurt anything. | 03:35 |
| ScottK | You really ought to be sure you know what you're doing though if you remove stuff that's in minimal. | 03:35 |

| [Solaris] | how do i put soemthing in cron to every 15 or 30 mins? | 04:57 |
| sommer | [Solaris]: */30 * * * * command | 04:59 |
| sommer | [Solaris]: change the 30 to 15 for every 15 minutes | 04:59 |
| [Solaris] | do i need to put the file somewhere? | 04:59 |
| sommer | that would be the cron entry... the crontab -e will let you edit the cron jobs | 05:00 |
| [Solaris] | so it doesn't matter where the file resides? | 05:02 |
| sommer | not sure what you mean by file? | 05:04 |
| [Solaris] | i have a bash script that i want ran | 05:05 |
| [Solaris] | script == file | 05:05 |
| sommer | I usually put custom scripts in /usr/local/bin so your cron entry would be: */30 * * * * /usr/local/bin/filename | 05:06 |
| [Solaris] | is 15 min to often for a cron.. | 05:08 |
| sommer | I have some jobs running every 5 :-) | 05:09 |
| sommer | it's really a matter of what your script does, how resource intensive, etc | 05:09 |
| [Solaris] | it moves files from one dir to the next | 05:09 |
| sommer | I wouldn't think you'd have any issue, but I guess it depends on how many files and their sizes get moved, still shouldn't be an issue | 05:10 |
| [Solaris] | cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/CTDM': Permission denied | 05:11 |
| [Solaris] | ohh id idn't chmod +e or what ever tothe file | 05:11 |
| portablejim | What happens if you put 2 dhcp servers on one network? does the second stop the first from working, or does the second one just not work? | 09:18 |
| MitosKalandiel | most likely you will get very unpredictable effects, either dhcp server a0 or b0 answering leases being given double etc, i am not sure if that's even mentioned in ip-specs | 09:28 |
| MitosKalandiel | a or b even | 09:28 |
| MitosKalandiel | but in every case i had 2 dhcp servers running my network became unstable and unpredictable, downright to the point of unusability.. | 09:30 |
| portablejim | so the second one would bring down the network. is that what you are saying? | 09:33 |
| ropetin | portablejim: I'm late to this party, but I'd concur with MitosKalandiel, two active DHCP servers on the same segment is not worth the agro | 09:47 |
| MitosKalandiel | portablejim: not necessaraly bringing the network down, but you will be tackling major problems when you do run two dhcp servers | 09:50 |
| portablejim | thanks | 09:56 |

| EvilDaemon | So I have an older box with 3 different ubuntu operating systems on it, and I want to put ubuntuserver on it. All of the thing I want to keep are backed up, now what? | 16:40 |
| EvilDaemon | Also, when installing, it won't let me overwrite all of the partitions, just one out of two. | 16:41 |
| EvilDaemon | Anyone... | 16:46 |
| EvilDaemon | So... nobody? | 16:59 |
| stainer | are you using the manual option? | 17:09 |
| EvilDaemon | Well, I'm going to try dban and then install it | 17:14 |
| stainer | I some trouble overwrite partitions with an older version. I deleted the partitions manually, the ran the install and that worked... I cant remember if that was a bug or not. | 17:15 |
| stainer | or something I was doing wrong | 17:16 |
| EvilDaemon | How did you delete them? | 17:16 |
| stainer | used a live disk, and ran gparted | 17:17 |
| EvilDaemon | Can you boot into a shell from the live Server cd? | 17:17 |
| EvilDaemon | er, ubuntu server livecd | 17:18 |
| stainer | I used a desktop cd, but you should be able to do the same thing with fdisk in command line | 17:18 |
| stainer | make sure you have everything you need off that disk | 17:19 |
| EvilDaemon | Yeah, everything is on a usb. | 17:19 |
| EvilDaemon | thanks. | 17:19 |
| stainer | fdisk deletes the partitions, then you can use a guided install, and it should write the whole disk | 17:19 |
| stainer | np | 17:20 |
| stainer | I am sometimes slow with this stuff, so your milage may vary :) | 17:20 |
| EvilDaemon | fdisk just displays stuff, it's not doing anything. | 17:41 |
| EvilDaemon | Is there a delete-all argument? | 17:41 |
| normanm | EvilDaemon: you could even use cfdisk | 17:44 |
| stainer | fdisk /dev/hda (or your hd) | 17:45 |
| EvilDaemon | what about parted? | 17:45 |
| stainer | parted would do the same... fdisk is pretty old, but straight foward | 17:45 |
| EvilDaemon | There's four different kinds under /dev/ | 17:46 |
| EvilDaemon | Now I guess cfdisk is being suggested over parted. | 17:46 |
| stainer | http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl8_fdisk.htm | 17:47 |
| stainer | you have to delete each partition | 17:47 |
| stainer | Try them in the order cfdisk, fdisk, sfdisk. (Indeed, cfdisk is a beautiful program that has strict requirements on the partition tables it | 17:48 |
| stainer | accepts, and produces high quality partition tables. Use it if you can. | 17:48 |
| stainer | I just found that... I have never used cfdisk before, so I didn't know about it | 17:49 |
| EvilDaemon | okay. will one of them tell me what partition I'm on, or do I stab in the dark and hope I don't miss? | 17:49 |
| normanm | stainer: lol | 17:49 |
| normanm | cfdisk rocks | 17:49 |
| stainer | it is rare that I have needed the partition manually... ubuntu takes care of it for you :) I have in the old days with dos, and slackware | 17:51 |
| stainer | here is a better howto on fdisk http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/fdisk_partitioning.html | 17:51 |
| stainer | with everything in linux, there are about 45 ways to accomplish it | 17:52 |
| EvilDaemon | fdisk - disk partition table manipulator | 17:52 |
| EvilDaemon | fdformat - Low-level format a floppy disk | 17:52 |
| EvilDaemon | cfdisk | 17:53 |
| EvilDaemon | Curses based disk partition table manipulator for Linux | 17:53 |
| blue-frog | EvilDaemon: what do you need to do? | 17:53 |
| EvilDaemon | To delete all my partitions. | 17:54 |
| EvilDaemon | sorry for the flood. | 17:54 |
| normanm | EvilDaemon: use cfdisk | 17:54 |
| normanm | I still not understand what the problem is | 17:54 |
| blue-frog | EvilDaemon: I assume you are on a livecd? | 17:55 |
| EvilDaemon | Yes, but I only have a command line. | 17:55 |
| stainer | cfdisk is nice | 17:55 |
| blue-frog | EvilDaemon: then either one of the tools listed above will help you do that. chose the one you prefer | 17:56 |
| EvilDaemon | I just took a look at cfdisk, so I'll use that. Now, how do I find out what partition I'm currently on? | 17:57 |
| blue-frog | EvilDaemon: if you are running from a live cd you are on cloop | 17:57 |
| EvilDaemon | okay, thanks. | 17:57 |
| blue-frog | EvilDaemon: your drive will be certainly named /dev/sda | 17:58 |
| EvilDaemon | okay, so that didn't work | 18:04 |
| EvilDaemon | all of the oses that I originally had on there are still there, after deleting the partitions. | 18:04 |
| EvilDaemon | from a livecd | 18:04 |
| EvilDaemon | one is on sd2 | 18:04 |
| EvilDaemon | the other didn't say. | 18:05 |
| EvilDaemon | If I run sudo rm -rf /, will it solve my problems? | 18:06 |
| stainer | that would just delete the files, the partitions would still be there | 18:09 |
| blue-frog | EvilDaemon: what livecd do you have? | 18:10 |
| blue-frog | EvilDaemon: in fact are you root in your llivecd? | 18:11 |
| EvilDaemon | no | 18:20 |
| EvilDaemon | It's ubuntu gusty, 7.10 i386 | 18:20 |
| EvilDaemon | and I did sudo cfdisk | 18:20 |
| blue-frog | did you reboot afterwards? | 18:24 |
| EvilDaemon | yes | 18:28 |
| EvilDaemon | it went to grub, and still showed all of the previous oses. | 18:28 |
| EvilDaemon | ubuntu 7.10, and ubuntu 8.10 | 18:28 |
| blue-frog | EvilDaemon: so you didn't delete the /boot partition. that's all | 18:28 |

| stuart | -- hp netserver E800 2xP3 1GHz 2GB ram | 18:31 |
| EvilDaemon | blue-frog: In cfdisk, there were two different options. one had boot on it. I deleted them all. | 18:31 |
| blue-frog | EvilDaemon: sudo parted /dev/sda p gives you what? | 18:33 |
| blue-frog | EvilDaemon: by the way in cfdisk, you need to write out the changes you made | 18:33 |
| blue-frog | otherwise nothing is done | 18:34 |
| blue-frog | EvilDaemon: use parted, changes are made right away, no need to reboot | 18:34 |
| stainer | only with AT&T is a dynamic ip a selling point. Dynamic IP Addresses - Every time you log on to the Internet, your computer is assigned a new, unique IP address, making it more difficult for hackers to find you. | 18:42 |
| EvilDaemon | it says that the directory isn't there. So It's just deleting it off of grub? | 18:44 |
| orogor | hi here | 19:05 |
| orogor | anyone knows of any decent documentation/tutorial on apparmor? | 19:05 |
| sommer | orogor: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/apparmor.html | 19:06 |
| sommer | orogor: should get you started anyway | 19:07 |
| orogor | yhea, just stpotted the bottom link to suze doc , o think was looking for that$ | 19:08 |
| orogor | sommer, is there a repository wth additional profiles for apparmor on ubuntu ? | 19:25 |
| orogor | also stupid queston what sthe difference between gentoo and gento server if i nstall server type packages on th desktop version ? | 19:25 |
| sommer | orogor: there's the apparmor-profiles package which contains additional profiles, that may be what you're looking for | 19:27 |
| sommer | orogor: nope the server and desktop use the same repositories so installing say apache on desktop is the same as installing it on sever | 19:27 |
| orogor | sommer, there s like 10 profiles in it , whichb isn t much | 19:27 |
| sommer | orogor: ya, apparmor integration is pretty conservative, due to the chance of messing things up | 19:28 |
| orogor | i could build profiles by myself , but ... would have been nice if there were some more | 19:28 |
| sommer | you can always submit any that you create :) | 19:28 |
| orogor | doesn t works out server doesn t answer | 19:29 |
| sommer | ? | 19:30 |
| orogor | i modified the cupsd profile , i was presented with an option to uopdate the repository but had an error when submitting profle , apparently (in don t know which) server wasn t answerng http | 19:31 |
| orogor | bah, i ll give up for today, i bet iptable forbidding incoming connections will protect me from 90% of stuff anyway | 19:32 |

| [Solaris] | 98.196.35.51 | 22:11 |
| NCommander | [Solaris], yup | 22:12 |
| [Solaris] | good good | 22:13 |
| [Solaris] | now to figure out how to make it so a user can have a http page | 22:14 |
| [Solaris] | 98.196.35.51/<user> is the address right? | 22:14 |
| [Solaris] | typically | 22:14 |
| NCommander | ~user | 22:15 |
| [Solaris] | and in the user dir they need to add? | 22:15 |
| NCommander | usually public_html | 22:17 |
| NCommander | But that varies depending on the apache configuration | 22:17 |
| [Solaris] | erm whats defualt? | 22:17 |
| NCommander | No idea | 22:18 |
| [Solaris] | know where i can look? | 22:18 |
| [Solaris] | i thought normally you have to mkdir some directory for all the html stuff | 22:19 |
