[01:19] is there any downside , other than space taken up, by installing things like Xserver-xorg on an Ubuntu server box? [01:20] 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... [02:08] hi. i'm running ltsp server/client structure, and wondered if it was possible to play chromium? [02:24] there is ltsp server which provides for centralized login services, /home directories, and program management. is there another way to achieve this function? === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander === CodeDrunk is now known as |Codedrunk| === |Codedrunk| is now known as Codedrunk_ === Codedrunk_ is now known as Codedrunk|work === Codedrunk|work is now known as Codedrunk_NB === Codedrunk_NB is now known as Codedrunk [03:05] 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? [03:06] !servergui [03:06] 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] bonez45: that link should get you going [03:07] thanks... sommer [03:07] np [03:10] how does one use ebox? [03:11] sommer: ebox, eh? do you use that? I don't want to compromise this new server... so I'll try ebox.. [03:11] !serverguide [03:11] The Ubuntu server guide may be found at http://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ [03:11] there's a section in the serverguide about ebox [03:12] basically sudo apt-get install ebox, then go to https://servername [03:12] ebox has multiple modules to handle varius server applications [03:13] sommer: the install for ebox is run on the server machine right? [03:13] server name as in localhost? [03:13] ah, nm, https [03:13] bonez45: yep [03:13] Eeyore-Jr: it'll be localhost if you're accessing on the machine you've installed box on [03:14] hrm, can't get there [03:14] with localhost. did "sudo aptitude install ebox" [03:14] mmm, you might try the ip then === chuck_ is now known as zul [03:15] or the hostname [03:41] sommer: I have ebox installed and I have even logged in to it.. [03:41] but the interface has none of the features, mentioned in the documentation. [03:41] could I have installed it incorrectly? [03:42] bonez45: which modules do you have installed? [03:42] the default doesn't do much, but depending on what type of server would dictate which ones you'll want to install [03:42] I haven't installed any, nor does the interface show any that I can.. [03:42] apt-cache search ebox will give you a list [03:43] well, I need printing, and samba.. and file server..... [03:43] bonez45: you'll need to use the cli to install the others [03:43] oh, so I have to install those.. manually .. ok [03:43] newer versions of ebox will allow you to install additional modules from the web interface [03:43] at least that's how I understand it :) [03:47] sommer: lots to learn with this.. [03:47] ya, it's best to run it on a test machine to learn the ropes [03:48] this is a test machine.. it's not production anything [03:48] 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] I want to move my email server.. and apache2 to it too [03:49] my needs are modest at this point... [03:49] should be able to do most of that... not sure of the scanner though [03:49] don't have one myself [04:53] Hey I've got a quick question about building mcrypt. I have all dependencies built. however when I run configure I get "checking for mhash_keygen in -lmhash....no ideas? [11:22] my server doesn't connects with the router [11:22] i think some settings are wrong.. [11:24] does anybody know what i should do if the server doesn't connects with router?? [12:02] New bug: #289060 in bind9 (main) "named bind9 apparmor profile error " [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/289060 [12:45] Can I increase the memory_limit for php higher than 16mb? Will it affect anything? [13:33] J-_, yes, it will affect you php applications...;) config is normally located here -> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini [13:56] I wanted to allow my server to lookup hostnames. Tried this: ufw allow domain [13:57] Which results in the following rules: 53:tcp ALLOW Anywhere & 53:udp ALLOW Anywhere [13:58] Which, to me, is allowing the server do receive data on port 53, but not to send. [13:58] How can I solve this? [14:27] 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? [14:31] J-_, depends what your application needs.. if applications need more RAM than available the it starts swapping.... but that is slow... [14:32] J-_, try 64 an see if your app will run [14:34] 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 [14:38] is it proper that mysqld is running at 7.3 CPU percentage? [14:38] seems kind of odd [14:38] it's not doing anything [14:41] J-_: same for me [14:41] on a default installation [14:41] So I guess it's normal? [14:41] Must be :) [14:46] Weasel[DK]: 64M is a lot better :D [14:47] Great :) [14:59] J-_: I was wrong, it's the memory that stays around 7%, CPU is 0 by default. [15:05] hmm [15:06] * 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 :) === lipsinV1 is now known as lipsin [16:37] I get the following errors when trying to start dansguardian...any ideas on how to correct? http://www.pastebin.ca/1236499 [16:39] Which release are you on? [16:48] 8.10 [16:50] keithclark: We just sync'ed a new version with a fix for that a few hours ago. Wait for it to build and hit the mirrors and upgrade. [16:50] ScottK, Excellent and thanks! [16:51] ScottK, will that be an automatic update, or will I have to go in and reinstall dansguardian angain? [16:52] Should be a regular update. [16:52] Great, thanks again. [17:55] ScottK, downloaded dansguardian update and all is working again just fine. Thanks. [17:55] Great. [18:03] kees: For filtering in postfix, I pretty much just installed amavisd-new and followed its instructions for integration with postfix, installed clamav and spamassassin, and enabled virus and spam filtering in amavisd. I think that was all. [18:54] does anyone use solidcore file integrity monitoring with Server 8.04? [20:06] hi [20:07] any body can help me with ubuntu server 8.04 + LAMP + ispconfig + oracle??? [21:15] any way to force a reboot when the reboot command doesn't work? [21:18] power button :P [21:19] have you tried "shutdown" from a terminal window? === fastkeys38_ is now known as fastkeys [21:59] Hello, is there a way to install ubuntu-server from the live CD? [21:59] I was not able to get my fake-raid working without it, but do not want all the extras of the desktop version. [22:04] cpumanaz: here's some instructions for intrepid: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/advanced-installation.html [22:06] 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. [22:07] cpumanaz: I'd recommend using the server iso cd [22:07] at least I've never had an issue with it :0 [22:08] 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 [22:09] cool, if anything is unclear or incorrect feel free to file a but against the ubuntu serverguide [22:09] err bug [22:10] 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] is dmraid different from software raid [22:10] 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 ? [22:11] I guess I assumed you were talking about the raid software raid optin [22:11] option [22:11] It is software, but looks like it may be more commonly refered to as "fakeraid" [22:12] the raid available in the kernel? [22:12] or more specifically managed by mdadm? [22:16] it's not in the live cd [22:17] you have to install dmraid package and modprobe dm-raid4-5 before you can dmraid -ay to activate it [22:17] once done the installer will see your fakeraid partitions [22:17] 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] err understand [22:18] I'm not sure how to get the server CD to do those things because it's not designed to be a live installer. [22:19] right it's a menu driven approach, but the link I posted earlier should walk you through the process [22:19] it may take a couple of installs before you have it down though [22:19] at least every time I try new disk layout options I end up doing it more than one :-) [22:20] 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] It would only let me put 1 partition on it [22:20] 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] I'm not familiar enough with the limited console to do those things [22:21] I know it uses an ash shell, and the installed environment is different including some commands I'm used to not being installed. [22:22] I think sommer is onto the right Idea [22:22] What I found when creating drives that way is it could not install the boot loader [22:22] Do I need to have a non raid partition set as /boot? [22:22] if so, how can the system truely be redundant? [22:23] cpumanaz: agreed, sommer has definetly pointed you onto the right direction ... [22:25] 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 .... [22:27] exactly [22:27] okay I'll try this again [22:27] This is something good to learn [22:28] yep :) [22:28] any further problems, you can always come back here for more help :) [22:32] okay changed back to ACHI [22:33] If I deleted the compat entries and replaced them with ldap in nsswitch.conf and can't get to root login from rescue mode is that machine screwed? [22:34] I was wondering if anyone can help with a proxy gateway problem?? [22:36] 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 [22:42] Okay, I now have sda,sdb,sdc 3 primary partitions on ech [22:43] okay going to configure raid with the 9 partitions [22:45] cpumanaz: good luck :) [22:51] that's much easier I've got the mount points and the raid partitions, now let's see how install goes [23:10] I got a warning about rebooting because the kernel does not know about my raid partitons [23:10] at what point is it safe to do so? [23:10] it immediately went to formatting [23:11] hello [23:12] Hi guys i have a problem with postfix configuration [23:12] is anyone available to help ? [23:18] !ask [23:18] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [23:21] When I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix [23:22] when it asks for a local address extention I tried + and anything else i could think of but it still gives me an error and it dosent create the mail.cf file :( [23:23] it tells me that its a bad recipient delimiter [23:25] azteech: The install finished without error, but I don't believe it's locating grub. [23:28] is there a default firewall that is installed in server? [23:29] ufw is installed by default I believe [23:29] But nothing is blocked by default if that is what you are asking. [23:30] 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] Quite possibly an Asterisk config issue. [23:31] hads, I have everything setup "correctly" and my router firewall has been forwarded and it all worked, before... [23:39] azteech: I believe if your going to do software raid, your /boot has to be on one of the drives (not in a raid) [23:40] It won't boot for me [23:42] The only thing I can think of is to take the /boot out of the array [23:43] I can duplicate it on all 3 drives [23:43] but any kernel updates will only happen once place so again, not redundant [23:43] Is there a linux raid channel? [23:44] the only crappy option I have now is using Alpha 6 live CD, and my fakeraid [23:44] install and then upgrade and start removing crap [23:45] because I happen to have one of those nvidia cards :P [23:51] New bug: #289299 in samba (main) "winbind (samba 3.2) does not populate pw_gecos information for domain users" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/289299
