[01:19] <bonez45> is there any downside , other than space taken up, by installing things like Xserver-xorg on an Ubuntu server box?
[01:20] <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...
[02:08] <Eeyore-Jr> hi.  i'm running ltsp server/client structure, and wondered if it was possible to play chromium?
[02:24] <Eeyore-Jr> there is ltsp server which provides for centralized login services, /home directories, and program management.  is there another way to achieve this function?
[03:05] <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?
[03:06] <sommer> !servergui
[03:06] <sommer> bonez45: that link should get you going
[03:07] <bonez45> thanks... sommer
[03:07] <sommer> np
[03:10] <Eeyore-Jr> how does one use ebox?
[03:11] <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] <sommer> there's a section in the serverguide about ebox
[03:12] <sommer> basically sudo apt-get install ebox, then go to https://servername
[03:12] <sommer> ebox has multiple modules to handle varius server applications
[03:13] <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
[03:14] <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
[03:15] <sommer> or the hostname
[03:41] <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?
[03:42] <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
[03:43] <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 :)
[03:47] <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
[03:48] <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
[03:49] <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] <sommer> don't have one myself
[04:53] <jarrettwold> 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] <Tumie> my server doesn't connects with the router
[11:22] <Tumie> i think some settings are wrong..
[11:24] <Tumie> does anybody know what i should do if the server doesn't connects with router??
[12:45] <J-_> Can I increase the memory_limit for php higher than 16mb? Will it affect anything?
[13:33] <Weasel[DK]> J-_, yes, it will affect you php applications...;)  config is normally located here -> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
[13:56] <sandstrom> I wanted to allow my server to lookup hostnames. Tried this: ufw allow domain
[13:57] <sandstrom> Which results in the following rules: 53:tcp ALLOW  Anywhere & 53:udp ALLOW  Anywhere
[13:58] <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?
[14:27] <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?
[14:31] <Weasel[DK]> J-_, depends what your application needs.. if applications need more RAM than available the it starts swapping.... but that is slow...
[14:32] <Weasel[DK]> J-_, try 64 an see if your app will run
[14:34] <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
[14:38] <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
[14:41] <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 :)
[14:46] <J-_> Weasel[DK]:  64M is a lot better :D
[14:47] <Weasel[DK]> Great :)
[14:59] <sandstrom> J-_: I was wrong, it's the memory that stays around 7%, CPU is 0 by default.
[15:05] <J-_> 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 :)
[16:37] <keithclark> I get the following errors when trying to start dansguardian...any ideas on how to correct? http://www.pastebin.ca/1236499
[16:39] <ScottK> Which release are you on?
[16:48] <keithclark> 8.10
[16:50] <ScottK> 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] <keithclark> ScottK, Excellent and thanks!
[16:51] <keithclark> ScottK, will that be an automatic update, or will I have to go in and reinstall dansguardian angain?
[16:52] <ScottK> Should be a regular update.
[16:52] <keithclark> Great, thanks again.
[17:55] <keithclark> ScottK, downloaded dansguardian update and all is working again just fine.  Thanks.
[17:55] <ScottK> Great.
[18:03] <soren> 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] <maw> does anyone use solidcore file integrity monitoring with Server 8.04?
[20:06] <gluki> hi
[20:07] <gluki> any body can help me with ubuntu server 8.04 + LAMP  + ispconfig + oracle???
[21:15] <osmosis> any way to force a reboot when the reboot command doesn't work?
[21:18] <Stephen|SFLC> power button :P
[21:19] <azteech> have you tried "shutdown" from a terminal window?
[21:59] <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.
[22:04] <sommer> cpumanaz: here's some instructions for intrepid: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/advanced-installation.html
[22:06] <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.
[22:07] <sommer> cpumanaz: I'd recommend using the server iso cd
[22:07] <sommer> at least I've never had an issue with it :0
[22:08] <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
[22:09] <sommer> cool, if anything is unclear or incorrect feel free to file a but against the ubuntu serverguide
[22:09] <sommer> err bug
[22:10] <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 ?
[22:11] <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"
[22:12] <sommer> the raid available in the kernel?
[22:12] <sommer> or more specifically managed by mdadm?
[22:16] <cpumanaz> it's not in the live cd
[22:17] <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
[22:18] <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.
[22:19] <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 :-)
[22:20] <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
[22:21] <cpumanaz> I know it uses an ash shell, and the installed environment is different including some commands I'm used to not being installed.
[22:22] <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?
[22:23] <azteech> cpumanaz: agreed, sommer has definetly pointed you onto the right direction ...
[22:25] <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 ....
[22:27] <cpumanaz> exactly
[22:27] <cpumanaz> okay I'll try this again
[22:27] <cpumanaz> This is something good to learn
[22:28] <azteech> yep :)
[22:28] <azteech> any further problems, you can always come back here for more help :)
[22:32] <cpumanaz> okay changed back to ACHI
[22:33] <centaur5> 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] <thepeon> I was wondering if anyone can help with a proxy gateway problem??
[22:36] <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
[22:42] <cpumanaz> Okay, I now have sda,sdb,sdc  3 primary partitions on ech
[22:43] <cpumanaz> okay going to configure raid with the 9 partitions
[22:45] <azteech> cpumanaz: good luck :)
[22:51] <cpumanaz> that's much easier I've got the mount points and the raid partitions, now let's see how install goes
[23:10] <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
[23:11] <avri210984> hello
[23:12] <avri210984> Hi guys i have a problem with postfix configuration
[23:12] <avri210984> is anyone available to help ?
[23:18] <philsf> !ask
[23:21] <avri210984> When I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix
[23:22] <avri210984> 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] <avri210984> it tells me that its a bad recipient delimiter
[23:25] <cpumanaz> azteech: The install finished without error, but I don't believe it's locating grub.
[23:28] <riddlebox> is there a default firewall that is installed in server?
[23:29] <hads> ufw is installed by default I believe
[23:29] <hads> But nothing is blocked by default if that is what you are asking.
[23:30] <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.
[23:31] <riddlebox> hads, I have everything setup "correctly" and my router firewall has been forwarded and it all worked, before...
[23:39] <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)
[23:40] <cpumanaz> It  won't boot for me
[23:42] <cpumanaz> The only thing I can think of is to take the /boot out of the array
[23:43] <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?
[23:44] <cpumanaz> the only crappy option I have now is using Alpha 6 live CD, and my fakeraid
[23:44] <cpumanaz> install and then upgrade and start removing crap
[23:45] <cpumanaz> because I happen to have one of those nvidia cards :P
