| bonez45 | is there any downside , other than space taken up, by installing things like Xserver-xorg on an Ubuntu server box? | 01:19 |

| bonez45 | I am learning my way around, but I think it'd be easier to manage, with some of the GUI tools I know better.. than the command prompt... | 01:20 |
| Eeyore-Jr | hi. i'm running ltsp server/client structure, and wondered if it was possible to play chromium? | 02:08 |

| bonez45 | How can I get X to load up.. I installed gdm which installed a host of other files. and I installed xserver-xorg on my server....and i know it installed X11 too.. but I can't get it to boot up and load the GUI.. what am I missing here? | 03:05 |
| sommer | !servergui | 03:06 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu server does not install a desktop environment or X11 by default in order to enhance security, efficiency and performance. !eBox provides a GUI system management option via a web interface. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI for more background and options. | 03:06 |
| sommer | bonez45: that link should get you going | 03:06 |
| bonez45 | thanks... sommer | 03:07 |
| sommer | np | 03:07 |
| Eeyore-Jr | how does one use ebox? | 03:10 |
| bonez45 | sommer: ebox, eh? do you use that? I don't want to compromise this new server... so I'll try ebox.. | 03:11 |
| sommer | !serverguide | 03:11 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu server guide may be found at http://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ | 03:11 |
| sommer | there's a section in the serverguide about ebox | 03:11 |
| sommer | basically sudo apt-get install ebox, then go to https://servername | 03:12 |
| sommer | ebox has multiple modules to handle varius server applications | 03:12 |
| bonez45 | sommer: the install for ebox is run on the server machine right? | 03:13 |
| Eeyore-Jr | server name as in localhost? | 03:13 |
| Eeyore-Jr | ah, nm, https | 03:13 |
| sommer | bonez45: yep | 03:13 |
| sommer | Eeyore-Jr: it'll be localhost if you're accessing on the machine you've installed box on | 03:13 |
| Eeyore-Jr | hrm, can't get there | 03:14 |
| Eeyore-Jr | with localhost. did "sudo aptitude install ebox" | 03:14 |
| sommer | mmm, you might try the ip then | 03:14 |

| sommer | or the hostname | 03:15 |
| bonez45 | sommer: I have ebox installed and I have even logged in to it.. | 03:41 |
| bonez45 | but the interface has none of the features, mentioned in the documentation. | 03:41 |
| bonez45 | could I have installed it incorrectly? | 03:41 |
| sommer | bonez45: which modules do you have installed? | 03:42 |
| sommer | the default doesn't do much, but depending on what type of server would dictate which ones you'll want to install | 03:42 |
| bonez45 | I haven't installed any, nor does the interface show any that I can.. | 03:42 |
| sommer | apt-cache search ebox will give you a list | 03:42 |
| bonez45 | well, I need printing, and samba.. and file server..... | 03:43 |
| sommer | bonez45: you'll need to use the cli to install the others | 03:43 |
| bonez45 | oh, so I have to install those.. manually .. ok | 03:43 |
| sommer | newer versions of ebox will allow you to install additional modules from the web interface | 03:43 |
| sommer | at least that's how I understand it :) | 03:43 |
| bonez45 | sommer: lots to learn with this.. | 03:47 |
| sommer | ya, it's best to run it on a test machine to learn the ropes | 03:47 |
| bonez45 | this is a test machine.. it's not production anything | 03:48 |
| bonez45 | if I get it working, and can hook up all my printers to it.. and scanner, and other stuff.. and have it serve it all up.. I'll be happy.. | 03:48 |
| bonez45 | I want to move my email server.. and apache2 to it too | 03:48 |
| bonez45 | my needs are modest at this point... | 03:49 |
| sommer | should be able to do most of that... not sure of the scanner though | 03:49 |

| J-_ | Can I increase the memory_limit for php higher than 16mb? Will it affect anything? | 12:45 |

| sandstrom | I wanted to allow my server to lookup hostnames. Tried this: ufw allow domain | 13:56 |
| sandstrom | Which results in the following rules: 53:tcp ALLOW Anywhere & 53:udp ALLOW Anywhere | 13:57 |
| sandstrom | Which, to me, is allowing the server do receive data on port 53, but not to send. | 13:58 |
| sandstrom | How can I solve this? | 13:58 |
| J-_ | Weasel[DK]: thank you thank you. :D What should I increase it to? I only have 256mb RAM. If that's dependant of the RAM? | 14:27 |
| Weasel[DK] | J-_, depends what your application needs.. if applications need more RAM than available the it starts swapping.... but that is slow... | 14:31 |
| Weasel[DK] | J-_, try 64 an see if your app will run | 14:32 |
| J-_ | Well, I'm using wordpress. I already have it up to 32M and it runs, still quite slow though. But, that could be my internet connection being crappiola | 14:34 |
| J-_ | is it proper that mysqld is running at 7.3 CPU percentage? | 14:38 |
| J-_ | seems kind of odd | 14:38 |
| J-_ | it's not doing anything | 14:38 |
| sandstrom | J-_: same for me | 14:41 |
| sandstrom | on a default installation | 14:41 |
| J-_ | So I guess it's normal? | 14:41 |
| J-_ | Must be :) | 14:41 |
| J-_ | Weasel[DK]: 64M is a lot better :D | 14:46 |
| Weasel[DK] | Great :) | 14:47 |
| sandstrom | J-_: I was wrong, it's the memory that stays around 7%, CPU is 0 by default. | 14:59 |
| J-_ | hmm | 15:05 |
| * J-_ shrugs. This is probably the best it'll work unless I use something equivalent to apache like lighttpc or whatever the heck it is :) | 15:06 | |

| cpumanaz | Hello, is there a way to install ubuntu-server from the live CD? | 21:59 |
| cpumanaz | I was not able to get my fake-raid working without it, but do not want all the extras of the desktop version. | 21:59 |
| sommer | cpumanaz: here's some instructions for intrepid: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/advanced-installation.html | 22:04 |
| cpumanaz | thank you sommer. I'm having a hard time, and am just lost at this point. I couldn't get the dm-raid4-5 module to load correctly with the ash shell in the alternate install, and I couldn't do the server from the destkop live cd install. | 22:06 |
| sommer | cpumanaz: I'd recommend using the server iso cd | 22:07 |
| sommer | at least I've never had an issue with it :0 | 22:07 |
| cpumanaz | I'm trying to dual-boot which is why I would prefer dmraid but I can try the alternate, that is a good article and it goes over many of my concerns | 22:08 |
| sommer | cool, if anything is unclear or incorrect feel free to file a but against the ubuntu serverguide | 22:09 |
| sommer | err bug | 22:09 |
| cpumanaz | I think dmraid may be just a bit immature, or did not have good community involvement to work well in intrepid, it's there but not perfect and may have to wait till next spring. | 22:10 |
| sommer | is dmraid different from software raid | 22:10 |
| RachedTN | hello every body, I have asterik installed on debian and it works perfect, so I tried asterisk on Ubuntu server 8.04 but it doesn't work correctly, did any body knows what are the right versions of libpri+zaptel+asterisk that works on ubuntu ? | 22:10 |
| sommer | I guess I assumed you were talking about the raid software raid optin | 22:11 |
| sommer | option | 22:11 |
| cpumanaz | It is software, but looks like it may be more commonly refered to as "fakeraid" | 22:11 |
| sommer | the raid available in the kernel? | 22:12 |
| sommer | or more specifically managed by mdadm? | 22:12 |
| cpumanaz | it's not in the live cd | 22:16 |
| cpumanaz | you have to install dmraid package and modprobe dm-raid4-5 before you can dmraid -ay to activate it | 22:17 |
| cpumanaz | once done the installer will see your fakeraid partitions | 22:17 |
| sommer | ya, the live cd doesn't have advanced disk options because gparted doesn't support it that well... or something like that, from what I underdatand | 22:17 |
| sommer | err understand | 22:17 |
| cpumanaz | I'm not sure how to get the server CD to do those things because it's not designed to be a live installer. | 22:18 |
| sommer | right it's a menu driven approach, but the link I posted earlier should walk you through the process | 22:19 |
| sommer | it may take a couple of installs before you have it down though | 22:19 |
| sommer | at least every time I try new disk layout options I end up doing it more than one :-) | 22:19 |
| cpumanaz | I think I'll go that way, I did try once setting all 3 drives to RAID type and then creating 1 raid device | 22:20 |
| cpumanaz | It would only let me put 1 partition on it | 22:20 |
| azteech | cpumanaz: server cd is also menu driven, because it doesn't include GUI's out of the box. Not that they can't be installed, but are not included on the cd ... | 22:20 |
| cpumanaz | I'm not familiar enough with the limited console to do those things | 22:20 |
| cpumanaz | I know it uses an ash shell, and the installed environment is different including some commands I'm used to not being installed. | 22:21 |
| cpumanaz | I think sommer is onto the right Idea | 22:22 |
| cpumanaz | What I found when creating drives that way is it could not install the boot loader | 22:22 |
| cpumanaz | Do I need to have a non raid partition set as /boot? | 22:22 |
| cpumanaz | if so, how can the system truely be redundant? | 22:22 |
| azteech | cpumanaz: agreed, sommer has definetly pointed you onto the right direction ... | 22:23 |
| azteech | don't believe you need to have a non-RAID partition set up - if you did that, I believe you would defeat the purpose of RAID .... | 22:25 |
| cpumanaz | exactly | 22:27 |
| cpumanaz | okay I'll try this again | 22:27 |
| cpumanaz | This is something good to learn | 22:27 |
| azteech | yep :) | 22:28 |
| azteech | any further problems, you can always come back here for more help :) | 22:28 |

| thepeon | I am trying to set my server up as a firewall. My other linux box on the system can get to the internet with no problems, but my vista laptop is having dificulties | 22:36 |
| cpumanaz | Okay, I now have sda,sdb,sdc 3 primary partitions on ech | 22:42 |
| cpumanaz | okay going to configure raid with the 9 partitions | 22:43 |
| azteech | cpumanaz: good luck :) | 22:45 |
| cpumanaz | that's much easier I've got the mount points and the raid partitions, now let's see how install goes | 22:51 |
| cpumanaz | I got a warning about rebooting because the kernel does not know about my raid partitons | 23:10 |
| cpumanaz | at what point is it safe to do so? | 23:10 |
| cpumanaz | it immediately went to formatting | 23:10 |

| riddlebox | is there a default firewall that is installed in server? | 23:28 |
| hads | ufw is installed by default I believe | 23:29 |
| hads | But nothing is blocked by default if that is what you are asking. | 23:29 |
| riddlebox | hads, yeah I installed asterisk on it, and I cannot get a sip client from the net to connect but local clients can | 23:30 |
| hads | Quite possibly an Asterisk config issue. | 23:30 |
| riddlebox | hads, I have everything setup "correctly" and my router firewall has been forwarded and it all worked, before... | 23:31 |
| cpumanaz | azteech: I believe if your going to do software raid, your /boot has to be on one of the drives (not in a raid) | 23:39 |
| cpumanaz | It won't boot for me | 23:40 |
| cpumanaz | The only thing I can think of is to take the /boot out of the array | 23:42 |
| cpumanaz | I can duplicate it on all 3 drives | 23:43 |
| cpumanaz | but any kernel updates will only happen once place so again, not redundant | 23:43 |
| cpumanaz | Is there a linux raid channel? | 23:43 |
| cpumanaz | the only crappy option I have now is using Alpha 6 live CD, and my fakeraid | 23:44 |
