[00:14] I configured the ldap server according to: http://www.debuntu.org/ldap-server-and-linux-ldap-clients [00:16] I configured the client with ldap-auth-client and auth-client-config [00:16] defaults on the client stuff [00:17] I use getent passwd but only get local stuff [00:18] what am I doing wrong === dedi_away is now known as Dedi [00:18] The config files for the client are the same as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication [00:23] opapo: what about your /etc/nsswitch.conf [00:45] jmarsden|work, sorry ... had to leave ... dl 360 g4 yes [01:03] lmatos: Service manual for DL360 G4 is at http://bizsupport.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00218204/c00218204.pdf [01:04] lmatos: http://bizsupport.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00300504/c00300504.pdf is a troubleshooting guide. [01:56] i wanna set up some raid10 with ubuntu 8.10 server - its not detecting my raid devices - controller is onboard Thunder K8SR (S2881) <- i think this is a fake controller (software)... any suggestions? === derbenjamin is now known as DerBen [06:00] can someone tell me how to configure mysql to allow a remote connection? [06:19] /etc/mysql/my.cnf [09:47] * zoopster jetlagged [10:25] how come ubuntu does not forget my network settings that are not set in /etc/network/interfaces? [10:25] when i reboot... [10:30] you used any tools to configure your network interfaces? [10:30] or configured for dhcp, and reaquiring the same dhcp lease from your dhcp server [10:34] there's not dhcp, just static ip's set. [10:35] i use ifconfig to bring up an interface [10:35] and I have two vlans on eth0 as a trunk nic [10:35] the first vlan is set in the interface file, but the second is not. [10:35] when I reboot they are both up. [10:36] The really wierd thing is that if I do a /etc/init.d/networks restart then all network fail. When I reboot everything is working again [10:37] vconfig was used to configure the vlans initially [10:37] I never used any other tools. [11:05] * delcoyote hi [11:31] how come when i reboot, ubuntu does not forget my network settings that are not set in /etc/network/interfaces? I have not used any tools beside ifconfig and vconfig (I have two vlans on a trunk port). No dhcp involved. Any ideas/tip greatly appreciated. (It's server/black box) [11:40] ladfnet: If you don't config it in the interfaces file [11:40] it will be gone on reboot [11:54] well it's still there, and I don't know why [12:01] lol, bug [12:02] well, it's a real headache. it's a remote server, so configuring the network under these conditions suck [12:02] ladfnet: When you reboot are the settings configured via DHCP or statically assigned, if that makes sense? [12:02] static [12:03] So your DHCP server doesn't get a request from the server? [12:04] no dhcp at all. [12:04] staticly defined ips [12:04] And a follow up question, how does it suck? I would have thought it would make things easier if working remotely, at least you know what IP it is going to be on. If you're messing with other network settings remotely, how about you set the server to DHCP, then when you change your DHCP server, this server will come along with it [12:05] i have eth0 as a trunk nic, and two vlans. one vlan is the internet connection which i'm connecting/configuring over, and the other is a vlan I'm trying to get working correctly. [12:05] in precisely that way it sucks, lots of extra effort required to fiddle network settings remotely [12:05] when i configure the second vlan in the interfaces file the network crashes, and a cronjob has to save my ass [12:06] i normally use a fairly rudimentary dms in a cronjob to force the settings back to a known good config every hour or so [12:06] when doing that kinda thing [12:06] when i configure the second vlan with vconfig and ifconfig it works, and ubuntu remembers the settings when i reboot, but it's not defined in the interfaces file [12:06] but it is a pita, i agree withcha [12:06] Meh, I'm just getting off a night-shift fighting with horrid network issues of my own, so I'm not thinking straight! [12:09] i've spent days on this, and I'm not narrowing my search for why ubuntu remembers something it should not [12:15] Have you done something such as grep the file system to see if you can find the settings in some config file somewhere? [12:53] I've got a problem - I am trying to set ubuntu up on raid 10. However, my server only supports raid1. So i've made to raid1 partition, and a soft raid 0 on top of it. [12:53] However, with this setup , grub fails to install. Is that normal, how can i work around? [13:59] * yann2 very angry [13:59] this whole hardware certification process is a pure joke. I'm on my third critical installation issue. [14:39] My server responds to ping, but SSHd and Apache Httpd have stopped responding to network requests. o.O [14:57] Is there any way I can still remotely resurrect that server? [16:33] I followed the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html [16:34] I'm using LAT (LDAP Administration Tool). I can add users and groups just fine, except that I can't add users to groups, but must add groups to users. How can I fix that? [16:35] perhaps there is an error in the example LDIF presented on the wiki? [16:35] or something missing? === r00tintheb0x_ is now known as r00tintheb0x [16:58] joerlend, use webmin [16:59] joerlend, are you trying to bind it to a windows DC? [16:59] no. [16:59] why would I want to use webmin for this? === ssd7 is now known as Guest12689 === ssd71 is now known as ssd7 [18:28] I have problems with high usage of CPU by Xorg. Can I count on any help with solving this problem. I think its problem with nvidia drivers and 3d acceleration. [18:30] javaDev: You need proprietary 3D drivers on a *server*? This is #ubuntu-server... for server use just revert to the 2D open source driver, surely... [18:36] Ubuntu Server doesn't include X, so any discussions about X issues are really better done elsewhere. [18:37] ok thanks my bad ;) [20:16] How can I force version in apt-get or aptitude? [20:17] sudo apt-get -f [20:20] attempts to fix broken dependencies [20:20] that isn't it [20:20] obviously [20:21] what do you mean 'force version'? [20:21] if you want different major releases, they'll be separate packages, e.g. sqlite2, sqlite3 [20:22] I have a server that has a 20 meg boot partition because of a bios issue... I wanted to upgrade the kernel only to realize it's too big.. now I want to reinstall the old version [20:22] I have already set up the files from the backup as they should be, but I'd prefer to have apt be happy with it [20:22] not sure you can, maybev if you use the original install media as your apt source [20:22] if I can't, how can synaptic do it? [20:23] i didnt know it could [20:23] it can [20:23] cool! [20:23] sounds like you know more than me, and here you are asking me for advice ;) [20:23] *sigh* you're the 3rd person I broke the news to... [20:23] just wish somebody could help me [20:23] google knows more than everyone in this channel combined [20:24] note to self: NEVER go upgrading the kernel before a planned shutdown [20:24] google is useless on the issue [20:24] it's the first place I looked [20:24] DustWolf: If you've got the .debs, you can install them with dpkg (dpkg -i) and it will happily downgrade them for you. [20:25] I can install the versions as they are since the one that gets upgraded is a virtrual package anyway [20:25] but I don't know if I got them all [20:25] hmm [20:25] *reads dependencies* [20:32] btw, Deeps: packages --> force version [20:32] DustWolf: i dont use guis, but ta [20:32] DustWolf: well, linux guis, anyway, heh [20:33] I see [20:34] i'm glad [20:38] Failed to symbolic-link boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-server to initrd.img. [20:38] great [20:43] Did you run update-grub? [20:43] I did reinstall of the old kernel [20:43] Yes. After you did that. [20:44] not yet? [20:45] ok deleted old links [20:45] I'd do that then. [20:46] seems to be reinstalling fine now [20:48] ok that's that [20:48] the virtrual packages aren't installed [20:48] but hopefully nobody needs them [20:48] DustWolf: You really only need those to notice there's a new kernel and get all the required bits updated. That seems like exactly what you don't want. [20:49] *nod* [20:49] I was just wondering if any other package depends on them [20:50] No. That's all they're for. If later you try upgrading again, you can do it by just reinstalling the metapackage. [20:50] *nod* [20:50] is there any way to do x forwarding without having x installed and running? [21:02] ScottK: hiya, still around? [21:02] ScottK: any chance I could trouble you for an upload of the patch attached to https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs-utils/+bug/301085 ?

[21:06] ScottK: thanks [21:06] ScottK: i subscribed u-m-s [21:47] I have an NX terminalserver running. I'd like to have VoIP between the users, preferably using Ekiga. Is Asterisk the best solution for this, or is there other, simpler services? [22:21] hey guys [22:21] can somebody tell me how to get 1000mbps network card to work on my server [22:22] "work"? [22:22] yea [22:22] perhaps you should offer a raise. [22:23] ok [22:23] what do you mean "work"? [22:23] TimR: What card, and what does it do now when it doesn't "work"? [22:23] well i just bought me a gigabyte network card and i am trying to make it work [22:24] its a linkskey [22:24] 10/100/1000 pci ethernet adapter [22:24] and i want 1000 to work on my server [22:25] TimR: So you plugged it into the server, cablied ti to a gigabit switch port, and turned the server on... what does it do or not do now? [22:25] s/cablied/cabled/ [22:26] ok [22:26] ok? [22:26] heh [22:27] TimR: It does OK? Then it is alraedy working?? [22:28] TimR: Have you read and understood https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html [22:32] hehehe [22:33] hello [22:33] hello. [22:33] i have a networking problem with the current release of the ubuntu server [22:34] i manually set up an ethernet devide using ifconfig [22:34] i create a route for it with route [22:34] but after a reboot [22:34] all those settings are gone [22:34] i have to do all the configuration again [22:34] :( [22:34] any ideas? [22:37] nobody? :( [22:39] patience is a virtue. [22:39] :D [22:40] have you configured your /etc/network/interfaces? [22:40] no [22:40] i thought that ifconfig would change the configuration permanently? [22:40] then you should. [22:40] no. [22:41] so ifconfig only works for one session? [22:41] yup. [22:41] and there is no switch to make have it make permanent changes? [22:42] -make [22:42] That's not what ifconfig is for. [22:42] no, the changes are permanent because you've configured your /etc/network/interfaces and ifconfig is run at every boot. [22:42] ah [22:42] i see [22:43] i will try the configuration of /etc/network/interfaces [22:43] thX!
