slicslakso you can try sudo chmod ugo=rwX00:02
slicslakor you could do chgrp www-data00:02

roktangentIs there a way to install Ubuntu Server with the encrypted LVM option?  I booted a bunch of ISO's I have, but it doesn't seem to be in any of the installers...is it strictly on the alternative CD?13:18
=== scientus_ is now known as scientus
thefishroktangent: yep i think so13:29
roktangentCan I installed a no-GUI server via alternate CD?13:31
mathiazroktangent: thre is an option for encrypted LVM in the -server installer.13:33
roktangentIs it only in the latest release?13:35
thefishroktangent: yes, but also check out jeos for that, its a tiny, really basic install13:35
roktangentI guess I should have said 8.04 or 8.10....by latest?13:36
mathiazroktangent: 8.04 and 8.10 support lvm encryption at install time13:36
roktangentincluding the jeos disc?13:37
mathiazroktangent: I don't know if you'd have the option on the JeOS disc.13:37
thefishmathiaz: can you modprobe md_mod from a livecd then?13:37
thefishthat would be useful13:38
mathiazthefish: may be - I don't know about the livecd.13:38
thefishi tried quite a while ago, and no joy, but may have been added13:39
nijabamathiaz: yes, LVM encrypted is an option on JeOS (/me remembers that it took a while to have all components in minimal to make it work)13:53
roktangentnijaba, are you saying iit is an install-time option on Jeos?13:59
nijabaroktangent: yes it is14:00
roktangentI'll check it out14:00
nijabaroktangent: 8.04 has a separate installer while 8.10 JeOS installer is combined with the standard server CD14:01
nijabafor 8.10 press F4 on the first screen and selection "Install a minimal virtual guest"14:01
roktangentI got the 8.04 image....it should be on there right?14:02
roktangentthanks for the 8.10 tip14:02
nijabaroktangent: right and you are welcome14:05
roktangentnijaba, 8.04.1 JeoS just says "Guided, use entire disk, Guided use entire disk and setup LVM, and Manual"....no encrypted option14:11

andyjeffriesHi everyone, I'm new to Ubuntu server.  I've admined Gentoo systems for a few years now but am migrating my first one to Ubuntu server.  My question is - after apt-get install uw-imapd, what do I have to do to get it listening for incoming connections (I can't find xinet.d files anywhere)20:44
mathiazandyjeffries: are you sure you want to use uw-imapd?20:45
mathiazandyjeffries: dovecot is the standard imapd daemon in ubuntu20:45

slicslakis there a repository where i could see hardy online?  i found http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git but this is only for the kernel.  what about the entire distrobution?21:26
mathiazslicslak: what are you looking for exactly?21:27
mathiazslicslak: packages.ubuntu.com21:27
slicslakmathiaz, i want to see the default /etc directory as ships21:28
mathiazslicslak: well the content depends on which packages you've installed on the system21:28
slicslakmathiaz, sure, but with no packages installed?  is there a default base?  if recall my sudo questions of yesterday... my host maintains they haven't touched a thing.  so i would like to prove to them that their sudoers files i messed.  but i need an online source to point to21:30
sorenslicslak: With no packages installed, you've got an empty filesystem.21:30
mathiazslicslak: the /etc/sudoers files is created by the postinst script of the sudoers package21:31
slicslakright, so i need to look in that package.  thanks21:31
richfI set up ubuntu server, but need the GUI at boot rather than just he command line.  I see no inittab in etc and know tha the runlevels in ubuntu are different than in Cent and RH21:43
mathiaz!servergui | richf21:43
ubotturichf: 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.21:43
richfmathiaz, I know.  I installed KDE, am in it now, but want it to start automatically at boot.21:44
richfmathiaz, I see no /etc/inittab21:46
ScottKrichf: How did you install KDE?21:46
richfIt was months ago, but let me go through bash history21:47
ScottKrichf: If you sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop that should get you a complete KDE desktop with autostarting.21:47
richfsudo apt-get install kde was what I ran.21:48
ScottKInstall kubuntu-desktop.  It's a more complete set of packages.21:48
ScottKYou can remove extra stuff you don't want after.21:48
richfAhh.  Getting 'er now.  I'm used to rh type and inittab21:48
richfTHanks.21:48
ScottKWe don't have /etc/inittab because we use Upstart and not Sys V init.21:48
ScottKIIRC Fedora has gone to Upstart now too.21:49
richfReally...21:49
ScottKI recall reading that.21:49
richfThat's what I cut teeth on, but left at FC521:49
ScottKOnce that's installed, you can get Kubuntu/KDE specific questions answered in #kubuntu.  It's OT for this channel.21:50
mluser-workHello, I just installed ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386.iso.  Installation went fine, but on boot I get a message that sais "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: 0:6 Unable to boot - please use a kernel approprate for your CPU.".. Any ideas?21:50
phaidrosassuming we have a jail whereto users can - using rssh - only scp and sftp into. what would be a proper way to let users adjust their passwords?21:51
ScottKmluser-work: What CPU?21:51
mluser-workPentium M21:51
ScottKDunno if that's supported by the server kernel.21:51
mluser-workThe ubuntu download site sais its for (x86 architecture, Pentium™, Celeron™, Athlon™, Sempron™)21:52
mathiazmluser-work: right - try to install the -generic kernel instead. Try with the alternate iso rather then server iso.21:52
ScottKYes, but that doesn't mean there aren't pentiums it doesn't work with.21:52
mluser-workmathiaz: 8.04-1 Desktop edition works just fine, can I use the alternate iso to install a non gui ubuntu server?21:53
ScottKmluser-work: Or just sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop followed by sudo apt-get autoremove21:53
ScottKThat gets you pretty well to the same place.21:54
mluser-workScottK: I already have the Desktop iso, can I use it instead and rmove the ubuntu-desktop from it? Or would it be better to use the alternate iso?21:55
ScottKIt gets you to the same place.21:58
mluser-workScottK: Thank you21:59
mluser-workSo basically no server optimizations are done by the server iso, other than not installing all the extra gui stuff?22:00
mathiazmluser-work: and installing the -server kernel flavor instead of the -generic kernel22:03
mluser-workmathiaz: thanks, one last question, would it not be easier to just chroot into my server partition and apt-get install the generic kernel?22:05
ScottKmluser-work: And in tasksel you get some additional options, but you can do that by hand.22:05
mathiazmluser-work: that would probably be easier and faster.22:05
ScottKmluser-work: If you have a working box, yes.22:05
ScottKI thought you didn't have a running box.22:05
mluser-workI already have a ubuntu desktop installed on the same box22:05
mluser-workScottK: is there some environment script in ubuntu I need to run once I chroot into the server partition?22:06
mluser-workScottK: mathiaz: Thanks a bunch guys for all your help22:09
mluser-workScottK: mathiaz: Just so you two know.. it worked like a charm.. thanks again22:14
mathiazmluser-work: np :)22:15
