[00:34] Hawkey: I'm back... was my advice helpful? ;) [00:37] well not exactly:D [00:38] What have you discovered so far? [00:38] i discovered that 100% cpu time is producted when i start my binary via nohup [00:39] But not when started from a normal interactive shell prompt? [00:40] i connect on my ssh.. when i run app with binary , core one jumps on 100% usage.. when without nohup it's normal [00:41] OK. Does your app ever read input from stdin? I would expect it is not handling stdin begin connected to /dev/null very well? [02:43] Okay, here's a curious poll then. What filesystems to users here commonly use? [02:56] ext3/ext2 / raid [02:57] ext3 and jfs [03:18] Kamping_Kaiser ? [03:32] help /topic [03:48] how hard is it repartition a live ubuntu server.. i want make a separate partition for /home dir and move it off of / (root) partition [03:50] axisys, you shouldnt resize live partitions (unless its on lvm iirc) [03:51] shouldn't be a problem with /home if no users besides root are logged in [03:51] Hay Kamping_Kaiser Welcome :) i m looking for ya :) if u are not bzy :< [03:51] axisys: pretty easy... add new entry to fstab; mount /dev/ /mnt; cp -a /home/* /mnt; umount /mnt; mount /home [03:52] jtaji, sounds like its on / , so unless its moving to a new drive it migh be a problem [03:52] LoveGuru, you should just ask the channel, if i know, i'll talk :) [03:52] axisys_: Shut down server, boot from live CD, shrink existing / partition, create new ext2fs on freed-up empty space, then do what jtaji suggested, basically. [03:53] s/ext2fs/ext3fs/ [03:53] Kamping_Kaiser: well i tried :< anyways fine thanx.. i really glad to see ya again :) tx [03:53] axisys: yep my advice should be preceded by what jmarsden said [03:53] axisys: then if it's working, you can delete stuff from the /home on your root while in the live system with: mount --bind / /mnt; rm -rf /mnt/home/*; umount /mnt [03:55] ok.. so has to be booted from cd first.. ok.. no way to adjust the / partition size while running.. that is what I thought.. thanks [03:55] axisys: right that's the only reason you need to reboot is to resize [03:56] jtaji: yep [03:56] Well im trying to setup a server, i Just want to know that.. how can i use some custom authorization like. if i add user so first of all that user can't cd or view any other users directories, other thing i want to set diskspace allocated so user can just that allocated space, same thing with compiler authorization without my permission user can't compile or gcc to anything else, can i do that? [03:58] LoveGuru: Sounds like you want (a) jails for each user (b) disk quotas and (c) chown 0700 /usr/bin/gcc and all its friends. [03:58] jmarsden: correct [03:59] d. not install gcc to start with (and put it in a chroot) [03:59] LoveGuru: So.. yes, you can do that :) [04:00] jmarsden, well i m learn all those stuff, so how can i ? Please if u have Brief tutorial or info that can help me out with sort of those things? all help really appriciateable. [04:02] debian hardening guide [04:02] Have you already googled for each of them and the two words "ubuntu" and "tutorial" ? There should be several on chroot jails... I think you can Google as well as I can? I'll find you a tutorial on disk quotas... [04:03] jmarsden: sure. [04:03] Kamping_Kaiser: debian hardening guide? [04:06] LoveGuru: Third hit googling for ubuntu disk quota howto leads to: http://computingtech.blogspot.com/2008/09/ubuntu-linux-disk-quotas.html [04:07] LoveGuru: Try googling for debian hardening guide too :-) [04:07] jmarsden: so the debian guide work with ubuntu server? well its sort of debian. but still wanna know ? [04:08] The principles are the same, yes. [04:08] Alright Thankyou so much. [04:08] Kamping_Kaiser: thanks you too. [04:09] jmarsden: is there anyhow i can make script,? and put all this thing together and run with each user should it work? or not? [04:10] I don't understand the question. Yes, if you know how to write scripts, you can write them and run them...? [04:10] Whether they work depends on how well you wrote them ;) [04:11] ahh .. exactly thats what my question answer is. [04:11] :) [04:11] thankx :) [04:11] BTW se http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6309118 for a Ubuntu Hardening Guide [04:11] ahh alright kool ty again :) [04:11] No problem. [04:12] u know what.. i would that.. if kinda u guys are helping new comers .. then always *nix rocks n keep rocking :) [04:12] *say [04:14] LoveGuru, it would be nice if you'd say 'you' not 'u' [04:15] ahh sorry my bad/shortcut language, i will be carefull next time [04:15] !u [04:15] Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officer, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [04:16] ;-) [04:16] :\ [04:16] got it [04:16] LoveGuru: The bot was just a joke. :) [04:17] i won't mind :) [04:17] rule iz rule :) not to be broken [05:39] how do I make the link full duplex? line 517 in my dmesg shows it is half duplex [05:54] axisys: It should be autonegotiated with the switch port you are connected to. Unless you messed with the switch configuration? Duplex mismatch is bad... see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplex_mismatch [05:58] jmarsden: looking at the wiki [06:00] how do I find out what my server is set to? also how do I force it full assuming switch is full [06:00] Unless you have a configurable switch and played games with it, everything autoconfigures. I've not had to manually set half duplex/full duplex for... at least 8 years... [06:01] Are you seeing the symptoms of duplex mismatch -- VERY slow networking when transferring files, etc? [06:01] If not, leave it all alone. [06:02] what tool to check the nic stat beside the dmesg for the server? [06:04] I'm not sure, it's been too long. May be NIC-specific? grep the log files in /var/log/ maybe? [06:05] If the output of ifconfig shows no errors, there is a VERY high probability all is well. [06:27] ethtool [06:28] hads: thnx [06:29] my ibm netvista 8305 gets me login prompt but after I put my user name it hangs.. just installed ubuntu 8.10 from alternate ISO.. the splash was nice.. may be gnome issue? [06:32] i cannot even swicth to other psuedo ttys using ctrl-alt-F1 [06:32] i just need to install sshd and that is all.. dont care of gui after that [06:33] is there any option i can give it to kernel at grub menu to not start X and just drop me to a shell? [06:44] hmm I did not I could do vga=ask [06:44] let me try [06:48] well that gave a vga option to pick from.. atleast now when I login I see the mouse but no gnome.. how do I tell it to boot w/o any X === ropetin_ is now known as ropetin [17:39] looking for an article on to setup gmail as the relayhost === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander
