[02:00] I /think/ there is a way to set that up, but I don't think it's with a stock cd [02:01] I seem to remember a tutorial where someone spun a custom disk so that when it booted up, it listened for remote connections and you installed through remote X [02:01] New bug: #293993 in ebox (universe) "ebox will not install in 8.10 server - dependency problem (dup-of: 255368)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/293993 [02:02] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [02:03] squee_ [02:03] check that [02:38] !pae [02:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about pae [02:38] !RAM [02:38] A quick FAQ on Memory Management: http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_Linux_Memory_Management For Lubos Lunak's desktop memory usage comparison, see: http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/desktop_benchmark.html [02:38] !4GB [02:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about 4gb [02:39] !help [02:39] Hi! I'm #ubuntu-server's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [03:15] anyone home? [05:39] hi guys [05:39] is anybody in here? [05:53] hey guys [05:53] could somebody tell me why im getting this error Fatal error: require_once [05:56] is this room alive? [06:06] TIMREICHH: It's called patience. Here.. Have some. [06:07] Also, there's something called "context". Gimme, gimme. [07:05] Good afternoon all [07:05] Ramrunner: Good morning [07:06] I just did a server 8.04->8.10 upgrade and lost my internal net Outlook clients connectivity to dovecot. Running local Evolution on the server works fine [07:06] imap [07:07] How do they fail? [07:07] With a wonderful Outlook error of "Cannot connect to server" :( [07:08] I can't work with that :) [07:08] in the mail log it says "ubuntu dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=192.168.0.3, lip=192.168.0.10" [07:08] as an example [07:08] Wat kind of authentication are you using? [07:08] "What", even. [07:09] I believe it's standard PAM unless the upgrade changed that??? [07:09] No, I mean IMAP authentication. [07:09] sorry - my bad - I'm allowing plain text passwords - is that what you mean? [07:10] Yes. [07:10] Can you put your dovecot conf on pastebin? Be sure to weed out sensitive information, if any [07:11] no problem - except I'm new to IRC. How do I do that, is it easy to explain? [07:13] ok wait - it's a web site [07:13] Right. [07:13] Do I just paste my config into the web site and hit the button? [07:14] Yes. [07:15] That will give you an URL that you can post here. [07:15] ..and then I can go look at your config. [07:15] http://pastebin.com/m6738d770 [07:18] Ramrunner: It looks fine at a glance... Try cranking up the logging. [07:18] auth_debug, for instance. [07:22] ok - here's a new snippet [07:22] Nov 7 16:20:23 ubuntu dovecot: Killed with signal 15 [07:22] Nov 7 16:20:23 ubuntu dovecot: Dovecot v1.1.4 starting up [07:22] Nov 7 16:20:24 ubuntu dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=13521 [07:22] Nov 7 16:20:24 ubuntu dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=13522 [07:22] Nov 7 16:20:24 ubuntu dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=13520 [07:22] Nov 7 16:21:13 ubuntu dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=192.168.0.3, lip=192.168.0.10 [07:22] Nov 7 16:21:14 ubuntu dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=13527 [07:22] the ones that are working are the local evolution running [07:22] the one at 16:21:13 is outlook trying to connect [07:23] is there a set of telnet commands I can maybe try??? [07:25] better idea - let me try windows mail from the same PC [07:26] bingo - more information!!! === tjaalton_ is now known as tjaalton [07:26] Your IMAP server wishes to aleert you to the following: [07:27] Plaintext authentication is disabled, but your client sent password in plaintext anyway [07:27] let me check that damn config file again [07:30] sweet as [07:30] When the server upgraded - it honestly didn't work, and I couldn't get it to work. [07:31] I copied the new config file, set my settings, but obviously mis-read the plaintext thing [07:31] the default is yes to NOT allow plaint text. [07:32] I feel like a dick - and I owe soren a beer [07:33] soren -you still there? I want to thank you [07:45] I'm here again now :) [07:45] sorry for wandering off like that. I had something I needed to handle. [07:47] no problem - just wanted to thank you - i got it sorted in the end. [07:48] Postfix is holding new messages now in a queue, which mailscanner is supposed to pick up and deliver, which isn't working any more but I'll sort that one out myself [12:15] What should I chown my /var/www to so user can write with root privileges via sftp? Is there anyway to get a prompt password when trying to add to a root protected directory like /var/www? [12:16] It looks like /var/www is owned by www-data for some reason. [12:50] hi [12:51] J-_, www-data - that's the process Apache2 runs as (so allows Apache access - usually I give group as www-data and on pages where apache2 need to edit (ie for Wordpress or other CMS) I give group write permission [12:52] in ubuntu-server 8.10 is the dhcp3 and bind9 Sever linked against LDAP? In 8.04 they are not :-( [12:55] jgjones: So, would sudo chown -R :www-data /var/www be safe? [12:55] Currently I have Drupal installed. I gave up on Wordpress. [12:55] I don't change the permission of the /var/www directory itself [12:56] hmm [12:56] However on folders IN /var/www itself - I might have my own directory with my website in it - let's call it mysite - this would have user:group as me:www-data [12:56] me being me obviously :) [12:57] true [12:57] * J-_ ponders [12:57] I give it group-write permission (so if I edit pages in Drupal/wordpress/whatever - Apache2 can write to there because it's www-data) [12:58] hope that made sense...not sure if I'm explaining it very well :) [13:43] Is it possible to deny users removing ".bash_history" or can I log the history to another file too? [13:45] incidence: Anything like that can be easily circumvented. [13:45] Yea :/ [13:45] "export histfile=/dev/null" etc [13:46] For instance, yes. [13:46] Or start a different shell. [13:46] Yes. So the answer is no, for bash [13:46] Well, no. [13:47] Not if the question is: "Is it possible to deny users removing ".bash_history" or can I log the history to another file too?" [13:48] I'd like to know what commands all users / certain users run. Any suggestions? [13:48] It's the correct answer to the question: "Can I easily force any command a user runs to be logged somewhere where he can't delete it again?". [13:48] Yes. [14:00] Heya [14:00] hey cateye === cateye487 is now known as cateye [14:09] <_ruben> bugger .. im pretty close to finishing up my pxe/tftp/http install rig .. if only my dhcp server cooperate [14:15] in /var/log/messages i'm seeing -- MARK -- all over the place [14:15] can anyone tell me what this is? [14:16] slicslak: It's just a period message to the log so you know logging is working even if there's nothing to log. It's normal. [14:17] period/periodic [14:17] thanks [14:20] <_ruben> for some reason the pxe bootrom can get an ip just fine, but when the ubuntu installer kicks in and tries to get an ip everything goes to shit [14:20] <_ruben> as in, the box keeps requesting and declining ips [14:37] <_ruben> seems im being bitten by http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=479473 [14:37] Debian bug 479473 in dhcp3-client-udeb "debian-installer: DHCP client fails to assign address during install" [Normal,Open] [14:45] in /var/log/messages, every day i see this line: Nov 7 06:38:47 foo syslogd 1.5.0#1ubuntu1: restart. [14:45] what does this mean? is ubuntu cron'd to restart every day? [14:45] <_ruben> logrotate [14:45] oh [14:46] <_ruben> after rotating logfiles it restarts syslogd [14:47] If /var/www belongs to www-data, how can I add modules to drupal in /var/www/modules? Can I change ownership of /var/www/modules and still be safe, and make everything still work well? [14:48] J-_, set the group owner to a group that you and every web tech is in and make g+rwX for all your web files [14:49] _ruben, where would i look for actual reboots? [14:49] How would I do that? I think someone told me a long time ago. But, I forget. [14:49] rtfm chmod and chgrp [14:50] !rtfm [14:50] Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [14:50] lol, and here i thought i was being helpful [14:50] how do you know how to invoke the bot in the chanel but do not know how to chmod? i wasn't being rude, i even gave you the syntax! [14:51] I hang out in other Ubuntu channels where ubottu is. And, I've been using Ubuntu for a few years. :) [14:51] 3-4 years I suppose. [14:54] note the capital X in that chmod command, that makes directories readable but NOT files executable [14:55] is the version of vim installed by default on the server ed not the full package? [14:55] whats jfgi? [14:55] that's right [14:55] aleka, updat apt first and then install vim [14:56] I am trying to enable syntax highlighting and trying to install the package: vim-full tries to install a bunch of Gnome-deps [14:56] just install vim, but you need to do a package update first [14:56] slicslak: Thanks [14:56] <_ruben> slicslak: the 'last' command shows reboots [14:57] _ruben, thanks. it just shows the last reboot though. i was more hoping for all reboots (and preferrably who invoked them). i'm assuming it's somewhere in syslog.... just need the right grep === jcastro_ is now known as jcastro === chuck_ is now known as zul [16:28] does anyone have a samba gui suggestion? [16:37] josh_: you might check out swat... it's a web config tool [16:38] i'm working with smbwebclient now. i was just wodering if anyone had a suggestion. i'll check it out === ahasenack is now known as pandora [17:42] kirkland: Saw you blog post. nixternal knows people who worked at the Obama headquarters and they told him it was Windows there. [17:43] ScottK: yeah, there seems to be a lot of 2nd hand information, much of it conflicting [17:44] kirkland: You might want to follow up with nixternal then because he's at least in contact with someone who has first had info. [17:44] ScottK: thanks [17:45] No problem. [17:49] Wow, kirkland, nice Halloween costumes. [17:49] lhnn: thanks ;-) bsg fan? [17:50] not really, a few of my roommates like it, though. [17:50] I would go as Data or something [17:51] but Sci Fi has to stick together [17:52] I see KVM can do live migration! [18:11] Can anyone help me get PHPmailer working in Drupal on Ubuntu with gmail SMTP? [18:12] biggest pain in the arse. I can't seem to figure it out [18:12] I don't remember it being this hard before [19:31] New bug: #295293 in mysql-dfsg-5.0 (main) "InnoDB: Assertion failure in thread..." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/295293 [22:32] Hay all, I built an Ubuntu server (8.04) a few months ago, and it has had a hard time staying up for more than a day or two. It simply locks up, there is no monitor or keyboard to it and my error logs say nothing unusual. Ideas on figuring it out? [22:33] Sounds like a hardware problem [22:33] That's my fear =) .. All I need is another excuse to order some parts .. hehehe [22:34] That box was given to me because it would just go non responsive after a while (as a workstation) [22:34] It has some "unique" ram if I remember right too. Not something I want to mess with. [22:35] I'll go dig it out and pull it apart. Thanks for the idea.

[23:10] mynous: just ask your question [23:11] sorry just seems dead in here always [23:12] im having problems with vsftpd making rtorrent uploads drop to almost zero when im transfering a file, even when the rate is limited. is this just a conflict of the 2 programs? [23:12] neither of them will come close to maxing their connection when running concurently either [23:13] hm. not seen a behavour like that before [23:13] another strange coincidence is that rtorrent seems to be able to either "max" download or upload but one drops while the other goes up [23:16] the server has a 10mb connection and when downloading files from it at 3-4mb i dont see a reason for rtorrent to stall to almost 0KB, i just cant think of what would need to be configured [23:16] i cant think of a reason either [23:17] damn [23:17] could it be that the harddrive just isnt fast enough? [23:18] i wouldnt think so because ive had it going at better than 60mbps at one point before configuring it for a 10mb connection [23:25] v [23:25] Settings for eth0: [23:25] Supported ports: [ TP MII ] [23:25] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full [23:25] 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full [23:25] Supports auto-negotiation: Yes [23:25] Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full [23:25] 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full [23:25] Advertised auto-negotiation: No [23:25] Speed: 10Mb/s [23:25] Duplex: Full [23:25] Port: MII [23:25] PHYAD: 1 [23:25] Transceiver: internal [23:25] Auto-negotiation: off [23:25] Supports Wake-on: pumbg [23:25] Wake-on: d [23:25] Current message level: 0x00000001 (1) [23:25] Link detected: yes [23:25] does that look like its correctly set up? for some reason i think auto-neg should be on but i have no clue
