alex_21Hi, this prbably isn't the right place, but how do I set my GDM theme over the network?00:41
alex_21Using ssh without the ability to use any GUI?00:41
sanmarcoshow can I change my dns servers so that resolvconf knows about it02:43
sanmarcosapparently it doesnt give a crap about /etc/network/interfaces02:43
sanmarcosi fucking hate resolvconf02:46
Kamping_Kaiser/etc/resolv.conf?02:47
sanmarcosno, the stupid daemon that made it 500 times more complicated02:48
jmarsdensanmarcos: You have a Ubuntu Server that runs a daemon named resolvconf?  What package installed it?02:51
sanmarcoseverything depends on it02:51
sanmarcospostfix, dnsmasq, avahi, fetchmail02:51
sanmarcosthere is nothing that doens't depend on that crap that makes it impossible to change my dns server02:51
sanmarcos(on 6.0602:52
jmarsdenWhat does     which resolvconf    say?02:52
sanmarcos/sbin/resolvconf02:52
jmarsdenI've not used 6.06 on a server.  OK, what does     dpkg -S /sbin/resolvconf     say?02:54
hads!language02:57
ubottuPlease watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.02:57
jmarsdensanmarcos: Hmmm, looks like there is a package called resolvconf... let me take a look for you.  It's not required in later versions.02:57
sanmarcosthankfully it isn't, they admitted their error02:58
jmarsdenOK...02:58
sanmarcosjustice was done02:58
jmarsdenOK.  Do you have a line like:  dns-nameservers 192.168.3.45 192.168.8.10    in your iface stuff in /etc/network/interfaces?03:01
sanmarcosyes but resolvconf doesn't care about it03:01
sanmarcosI fixed it anyways03:01
jmarsdenOK.03:02
sanmarcosblessed the one who took that P.O.S and set it on fire, removing it from ubuntu03:02
jmarsdensanmarcos: It is still present, just optional.03:02
sanmarcosas it should be. as it should be my friend, it shouldn't be a dep03:03
Kamping_Kaisermaswan, i just looked at your http://ftp.acc.umu.se/about/ page. pretty cool.08:43

alex_21Hi, I am following http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies and need some help, as things appear to be a little different on Ubuntu. I have already "enable" the modules using the a2en... scripts, but now I am stuck. I am new to web serving, so any help is appreciated, starting with where is the httpd.conf ifle, and do I have to still load the modules into it if I've used the script?09:13
Kamping_Kaiseralex_21, Debian (and Ubuntu) use apache.conf instead of httpd.conf09:15
alex_21Where is this file?09:16
Kamping_Kaiser /etc/apache[2]/09:16
alex_21Thanks09:20
alex_21Do you know if I still need to add modules to the apache2.conf file if I am using the a2en... script09:20
alex_21?09:20
Kamping_Kaiseri doubt you do09:22
Kamping_Kaisera2enmod should do that stuff09:22

ip3hi all , me problem with mysql ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)   can someone help me?21:48
jmarsdenip3: mysql -uroot -p    and give it the password you chose when you installed it.21:55
ip3jmarsden , i not set password , i'm runing mysql pre-installed21:56
jmarsdenWho installed it?  On what version of Ubuntu Server?21:56
ip38.04 LTS21:56
jmarsdenI do not think 8.04 installs MySQL by default... so someone installed it... and when they did, they set that password.  Can you ask them what it is?21:57
ip3I do not know who installed the system, is rented on a server data center21:59
jmarsdenThen ask the server data cenetr admins for info about their MySQL install?  Or uninstall it and reinstall it if you do nto care about any of the data currently stored in MySQL?21:59
ip3not have data in mysql22:00
jmarsdenThen maybe you can just uninstall and reinstall, if you want to.  But asking the admin(s) who set it up would probably be safer.22:01
ip3ok , thanks , sorry for my bad english , me from brazil, good day22:03
jmarsdenip3: No problem.22:06

IL12Anybody know how to get the minimal CentOS server GUI on the ubuntu server 8.10? if its possible? If not another possible minimal GUI thats optional to use?23:27
tonyyarussoIL12: do you know the name of the GUI CentOS uses?23:30
IL12no but I think a google search could probably reveal it.23:30
tonyyarussolooking a bit now23:31
IL12and I'm trying to see if I can intsall Webmin via CLI.23:32
tonyyarusso!webmin23:34
ubottuwebmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead.23:34
IL12Blech. alright.23:35
IL12!ebox23:35
ubottuebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox23:35
IL12ty, btw. I forget about ubottu23:35
tonyyarussoIL12: Oddly enough, Google isn't telling me anything.  Ebox is the recommended GUI for Ubuntu Server, and can be used both locally and over the web if you'd like though.23:35
tonyyarussoubottu's great :)23:35
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about s great :)23:35
tonyyarussoIf not very intelligent.23:35
IL12oh, yeah I already looked it up. I'm running 8.10 and ebox is broken for it.23:36
IL12what about ... what is it.. puTTY?23:36
IL12well thats just another CLI though isn't it. hm23:36
tonyyarussopuTTY's just a terminal basically, useful for SSHing from a Windows box.23:36
IL12could you not still SSH into a Linux box?23:36
tonyyarussoYou can.  The point is just to be more useful than cmd.exe for that purpose.23:37
IL12Yeah.23:37
IL12In reality I should have gone for the desktop version just running the server apps in stead of throwing myself directly into the CLI.23:38
IL12what about trying just gnome-core or xubuntu-core for a GUI until I can get better with the CLI?23:38
tonyyarussoyou could certainly do that, although be warned that they still won't give you GUI configurations for the server apps, just other normal stuff.23:39
IL12gahhhh.23:39
IL12then there'd be no point for that since I have a laptop running Vista. I just have to admin this server off-site since it isn't being hosted at my own house.23:40
tonyyarussoThen to the documentation you go :)23:41
tonyyarusso!serverguide23:42
ubottuThe Ubuntu server guide may be found at http://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/23:42
IL12Yeah. and a book on general linux CLI. I'm rather pathetic with it. :p23:42
* tonyyarusso thinks there's a factoid for that too...23:43
tonyyarusso!cli23:43
ubottuThe linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal23:43
tonyyarussoyay!23:43
IL12whee.23:43
IL12Ty.23:43
IL12Now to boot into the windows partition of it. :p Need to update its antivirus and work on the webpage. Yes, yes, terrible I know but its all i have until I can get used to this ubuntu CLI23:44
