[00:41] Hi, this prbably isn't the right place, but how do I set my GDM theme over the network? [00:41] Using ssh without the ability to use any GUI? [02:43] how can I change my dns servers so that resolvconf knows about it [02:43] apparently it doesnt give a crap about /etc/network/interfaces [02:46] i fucking hate resolvconf [02:47] /etc/resolv.conf? [02:48] no, the stupid daemon that made it 500 times more complicated [02:51] sanmarcos: You have a Ubuntu Server that runs a daemon named resolvconf? What package installed it? [02:51] everything depends on it [02:51] postfix, dnsmasq, avahi, fetchmail [02:51] there is nothing that doens't depend on that crap that makes it impossible to change my dns server [02:52] (on 6.06 [02:52] What does which resolvconf say? [02:52] /sbin/resolvconf [02:54] I've not used 6.06 on a server. OK, what does dpkg -S /sbin/resolvconf say? [02:57] !language [02:57] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:57] sanmarcos: Hmmm, looks like there is a package called resolvconf... let me take a look for you. It's not required in later versions. [02:58] thankfully it isn't, they admitted their error [02:58] OK... [02:58] justice was done [03:01] OK. 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] yes but resolvconf doesn't care about it [03:01] I fixed it anyways [03:02] OK. [03:02] blessed the one who took that P.O.S and set it on fire, removing it from ubuntu [03:02] sanmarcos: It is still present, just optional. [03:03] as it should be. as it should be my friend, it shouldn't be a dep [08:43] maswan, i just looked at your http://ftp.acc.umu.se/about/ page. pretty cool. [08:44] now i know who to be cross with because i cant wget off cdimage.d.o too :p [09:13] Hi, 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? [09:15] alex_21, Debian (and Ubuntu) use apache.conf instead of httpd.conf [09:16] Where is this file? [09:16] /etc/apache[2]/ [09:20] Thanks [09:20] Do you know if I still need to add modules to the apache2.conf file if I am using the a2en... script [09:20] ? [09:22] i doubt you do [09:22] a2enmod should do that stuff [09:29] Hi, Is there anyone Familiar with "ebox" i m getting some complications with installating some modules. Thankx. uSing ubuntu intrepid. [09:29] LoveGuru, ebox has its own irc channel [09:29] I just installed "ebox" package now when i try to install modules manually it gave me error like this.

[09:34] LoveGuru, perhaps you need to check the ebox peoples PPA on launchpad. they might have a working intrepid version [09:35] Kamping_Kaiser: well sorry to asking. but i m new not familiar with launchpad. [09:37] LoveGuru, http://ebox-platform.com/community/installation-guide/ [09:37] down the bottom [09:38] LoveGuru, remember, these are 3rd party as far as ubuntus concerned, (just fyi) [09:38] gotch.

[09:39] so nice 0f you thanks very much.. let me take short. [09:39] t [09:39] good luck with it. [09:40] thanks :) [09:40] :) [09:47] Hey, how do have a job run with crontab? [09:47] Can this be set up with ebox? [09:48] alex_21, run `crontab -e`. no idea about ebox in that regard [09:51] Ok, thanks [09:51] :) [09:51] Kamping_Kaiser: sir i just got that same error yesterday " http://pastebin.com/mdb2dac7 " would you please check what/where is the problem. [09:52] Good Night. Bani Bash [09:53] LoveGuru, do you have two network cards? [09:53] # [09:53] Interface eth1 does not exist.dpkg: error processing ebox-network (--configure): [09:53] well when i did "ifconfig" it show eth0 and lo there there is no eth1 [09:53] thats what i m thiking [09:54] i'm not familar with ebox, but ebox-network may require two interfaces. [09:55] LoveGuru, could you run `lspci |grep Eth` and paste the output here [09:55] k [09:55] should only be acouple of lines [09:55] lspci |grep Eth [09:55] 00:11.0 Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] (rev 10) [09:55] aamir@ab1adm:~$ [09:55] Kamping_Kaiser: Well im Running Ubuntu server under Vmware [09:56] ah [09:56] is it problem? [09:56] ok. well, you only have one nic [09:56] wonder why ebox wants a second. [09:58] yesterday .. i just restart my router and after that my eth0 becomes eth1. so i just change my "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" eth1 to eth0 after that in ifconfig it shows that eth0 there.. but i got this same problem again. [09:59] now my rules kinda like this [09:59] # PCI device 0x1022:0x2000 (pcnet32) [09:59] SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:0c:29:7d:a2:9 [09:59] 9", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1" [09:59] # PCI device 0x1022:0x2000 (vmxnet) [09:59] SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:0c:29:72:46:d [09:59] e", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" [09:59] hm. try deleting the eth1 line [10:00] or commenting it out .... [10:00] ok [10:00] since you shouldnt delete stuff without testing first :) [10:00] hehe [10:00] right [10:00] so should i restart my machine? [10:01] hm. you shouldnt have to (restarting udev should do), but you may as well [10:02] well i just did " sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart [10:02] its cool? [10:03] hopefully. i'm not to familar with udev unfortunately [10:03] ehehe [10:03] alright. so try to install ebox over? [10:03] LoveGuru, try running `sudo apt-get -f install` - it will probably ask to add or remove a lot of packages. can you run it and pastebin the output? [10:04] sure give me sec. let me sudo apt-get -f install ^ebox-.* [10:04] nah, just `sudo apt-get -f install` [10:04] ah ok [10:10] Kamping_Kaiser: Sir " http://pastebin.com/m5462a0ea " [10:10] i did "sudo apt-get -f install" [10:11] LoveGuru, f.ing awsome. thats what i hoped to see. [10:11] LoveGuru, ebox should be properly installed :) [10:11] yAhoOOoOOo [10:11] :p [10:12] Kamping_Kaiser: thanks alot n more then alot :) Let me check Quick :) [10:12] LoveGuru, nice work - hope it works for you [10:12] l0ol [10:13] yes sir..

[15:43] * lamont notes with some amusement that even in dapper, postfix, avahi, dnsmasq, and fetchmail, at most Recommend: resolvconf [16:37] Hello, I have some video stored on a ftp directory of my ubuntu server [16:38] I'd like to be able to access from my home computer, read them, browse directory [16:39] do you know the best way to do that ? [17:59] Is there anything like a net_avg ? A load_avg but instead of IO+CPU, considering the average load of a network conection ? [18:16] Oli`` i use win at home [21:48] hi all , me problem with mysql ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) can someone help me? [21:55] ip3: mysql -uroot -p and give it the password you chose when you installed it. [21:56] jmarsden , i not set password , i'm runing mysql pre-installed [21:56] Who installed it? On what version of Ubuntu Server? [21:56] 8.04 LTS [21:57] I 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? [21:59] I do not know who installed the system, is rented on a server data center [21:59] Then 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? [22:00] not have data in mysql [22:01] Then maybe you can just uninstall and reinstall, if you want to. But asking the admin(s) who set it up would probably be safer. [22:03] ok , thanks , sorry for my bad english , me from brazil, good day [22:06] ip3: No problem. [23:09] ip3: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 [23:09] ip3: should allow you to reset the mysql root password [23:10] Deeps tks , i re-installed server :) [23:27] Anybody 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? [23:30] IL12: do you know the name of the GUI CentOS uses? [23:30] no but I think a google search could probably reveal it. [23:31] looking a bit now [23:32] and I'm trying to see if I can intsall Webmin via CLI. [23:34] !webmin [23:34] webmin 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. [23:35] Blech. alright. [23:35] !ebox [23:35] ebox 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/eBox [23:35] ty, btw. I forget about ubottu [23:35] IL12: 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] ubottu's great :) [23:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about s great :) [23:35] If not very intelligent. [23:36] oh, yeah I already looked it up. I'm running 8.10 and ebox is broken for it. [23:36] what about ... what is it.. puTTY? [23:36] well thats just another CLI though isn't it. hm [23:36] puTTY's just a terminal basically, useful for SSHing from a Windows box. [23:36] could you not still SSH into a Linux box? [23:37] You can. The point is just to be more useful than cmd.exe for that purpose. [23:37] Yeah. [23:38] In 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] what about trying just gnome-core or xubuntu-core for a GUI until I can get better with the CLI? [23:39] you 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] gahhhh. [23:40] then 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. [23:41] Then to the documentation you go :) [23:42] !serverguide [23:42] The Ubuntu server guide may be found at http://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ [23:42] Yeah. and a book on general linux CLI. I'm rather pathetic with it. :p [23:43] * tonyyarusso thinks there's a factoid for that too... [23:43] !cli [23:43] The 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/UsingTheTerminal [23:43] yay! [23:43] whee. [23:43] Ty. [23:44] Now 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 CLI
