[00:05] other topic that annoys me is preseeding... compared to kickstart it seems a mess.... [00:14] thanks to all. [00:24] Can anyone find the error http://www.swiatechs.com/dmesg2.txt ? :) === slim is now known as anfangs [04:52] install issue: after a botched Knoppix HD install, I decided to install Ubuntu as a server...now, I am at the Ubuntu install disk format where it has been at 100% for at least 45 minutes now === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [05:43] On my Debian servers, I can cherry-pick safely from stable+1 adding the following line to /etc/apt/apt.conf: [05:43] APT::Default-Release "testing"; [05:43] Ubuntu doesn't have stable/testing/unstable aliases. Will this DTRT if I set it to "hardy" ? [05:55] Hmm, http://elliotli.blogspot.com/2008/11/dont-use-aptdefault-release-in-ubuntu.html === luke_ is now known as lukehasnoname [09:22] New bug: #310845 in php5 (main) "php5 serialize() function corrupt strings" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/310845 [10:30] mornin' [12:09] hi, i'm trying to create a preseed config file but i'd like to use apt-cacher-ng to serve packages...someone can give me an example config? [12:13] i use an 'ubuntu-minimal' CdRom so I download all the packages from the network and apt-cacher is a must... [12:17] <_ruben> if apt-cacher-ng publishes its cache using nfs/http/ftp then you can point to its url in the preseed file just fine [12:17] <_ruben> never used such methods though, got my own full local mirror (full, as in all the archs/dists i need) [12:34] _ruben: so d-i mirror/http/proxy string 192.168.1.10:3142 should be enough? === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander [14:09] Hi, how can i decide which name assign to network interface? [14:11] Celephais: Start with eth0 and count upwards [14:12] Gargoyle, sorry for my poor english, i mean how can i decide which net interface is eth0, which is eth1, ecc [14:13] Celephais: You mean physically? [14:13] Gargoyle, yes, as an example i hace a 3com 100Mbit which now is eth1, put i want to nome it eth0 [14:13] Celephais: /etc/iftab perhaps? [14:14] maswan, the file doesnt exists [14:15] ops sorry fro grammatical error [14:15] for [14:15] i mean i have a 3com 100Mbit which is eth1 and i want to name it eth0 [14:17] ah, iftab used to be how you did it. these days it is some kind of arcane stuff in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [14:17] ok thanks [14:32] morning [14:40] hello, I'm trying to configure libnss-ldap to authenticate via ldap, I apt-get install libnss-ldap but can't find /etc/libnss-ldap.conf !! [14:40] ghaleb_: probably have to manually create it [14:41] ghaleb_: if in doubt do 'dpkg -L | more' and look for it [14:41] Faust-C, thanks [14:41] yw [14:42] Faust-C, it's not listed [14:44] ghaleb_: looks like youll have to manually configure it [14:44] Faust-C, aha .. thanks very much .. I will look for template [14:45] example* [14:45] heh yw, and good luck [14:46] Faust-C, is it that simple!! http://home.subnet.at/~max/ldap/libnss-ldap.conf_no-ssl [14:47] ghaleb_: yeah but idk if i would not use ssl for ldap [14:47] but thats just me [14:48] yeah .. I don't want ssl for now [14:48] well then go for it! [14:48] okay thanks again [14:59] moin all [15:00] I have been googling around for a couple of minutes (about 15 minutes) and still can't find good info. [15:00] I need to install ubuntu server on a Itanium 64 bit box [15:00] I am not sure just about which flavour to download [15:01] 64-bit specific [15:01] generic x86 [15:01] this will be not a testing server but a stable one [15:01] for production purposes [15:01] Any hints? [15:01] (things I should know about, risks, pros, cons, etc) [15:04] Howdy [15:05] I am having an issue with Ubuntu 8.04 domUs running on an 8.04 dom0 in Xen, does anyone have experience in this department? [15:07] geekboxjockey: you have to be more verbose on your problem [15:08] Faust-C, it's not working, i tried smbldap-usershow it showed, but using 'id ' it's not working, I guess something wrong in nsswitch [15:08] Ok, well I am experiencing locked file issues on group and password files when I try adduser as root on a new domU [15:09] IE I go to add a user and I cant, sometimes rebooting the VM fixes it but its a consistent problem on new VMs [15:40] alright, so... ive done the hands-on thing with a bunch of different linux distros. ive got somewhat of a grasp on linux and the file structure, how it works, etc. if i wanted to really start delving into how linux works (processes, security, networking, etc), what resource would you consider the best? [15:41] books, sites, whatever, doesnt matter [15:52] gentoo [15:53] and setup a toy server and learn to admin that [15:53] filesharing etc [16:39] agampher: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Reading-List-HOWTO/ [16:42] jmarsden: thanks, just what i was looking for. most of the books on that list are fairly old, no issues in that regard? [16:43] Not really; maybe in security, but I'm not sure what else I'd recommend. Check for newer editions for some of the books... these combined with google are a very solid background IMO. [16:44] New bug: #310941 in samba (main) "Samba crash, no /etc/samba directory, happened without reason, all of sudden, purge / reinstall doesnt work" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/310941 [16:44] The book on the kernel is probably too old now, since I think it deal with 2.4. [16:45] jmarsden: ok, thanks. sometimes googling linux terms is a bit overwhelming :) [16:46] Understood. Running Linux and the online guides in the HOWTO should help you quite a bit with that. [16:46] is there any supported tool that allows to create a local apt repository? [16:46] ie an apt-proxy like that would be in main? [16:46] jmarsden: thanks again [16:47] No problem [16:48] yann2: apt-proxy is in Universe and therefore supported by the MOTUs .. why shun Universe? [16:51] jmarsden > I reporte thjis this morning.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-mirror/+bug/310861 .. shouldnt have happened really :/ [16:51] Launchpad bug 310861 in apt-mirror "APT-proxy fails on single download error" [Undecided,New] [16:55] yann2: OK, so the issue is not supportedness, but one particular issue; I'd say fix apt-proxy or wait for others to look at the bug report and (hopefully) fix it, if you are unable to do that. apt-proxy is in Python and is fairly small, so it is probably relatively accessible/readable code. [16:55] jmarsden > so basically I got an apache support case open, but am running an old version of apache for hardy... because I am affected by a bug in a universe package on a separate vm [16:57] jmarsden > well I've had people investigating a bug which in the end may not have been soved because of a bug in universe, on a different server... i would feel better if that error would have come from main :P [16:59] jmarsden > but surely there is something in main that does the same? I mean, its quite a small tool, and probably widely used in enterprise [17:00] I think that's not a helpful distinction to make; if you don't trust Universe to be usable, Ubuntu as a whole is IMO pretty limited. I doubt there would be something in main that does that, but I don't have encyclopediac knowledge of main :) [17:01] jmarsden > I am a ubuntu support customer.. I don't want to drop it off completely :) what I need should be in main or have an alternative in main (if I understand the idea correctly) [17:02] Then maybe ask Canonical what they recommend for this task? [17:03] yes I thought I would ask here first :P [17:04] Here I think most people use Universe when it has what they need in it...? apt-cache search proxy might reveal something you can use? [17:06] greg kroa hartman demands to inform the world that cannical does not give back to the community in that google techtalk on the kernel [17:06] sort of a letdown honestly [17:07] mayhap things have changed since then tho, havent seen any stats [17:42] New bug: #305264 in openldap "gnutls regression: failure in certificate chain validation" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/305264 [17:44] uvirtbot: that is hardly new... [17:44] jdstrand: Error: "that" is not a valid command. [17:44] uvirtbot: :P [17:44] jdstrand: Error: ":P" is not a valid command. [19:17] someone with experience mounting samba shares from active directory? i'm having problems regarding uids/gids mapping [19:39] quick question... any caveats with using likewise open? its in the ubuntu server documentation and seems super easy to use. [19:40] like, i joined the domain and authenticated in like 2 minutes [19:40] and mounted a share === jmedina is now known as jmedina_grinch [20:52] New bug: #311005 in samba (main) "package samba 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 102" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/311005 [20:57] has anyone else experienced a similar problem to this one (http://pastebin.com/m11e37b8f) when you're trying to create a vm using vmbuilder? [20:58] I'm not really sure what the problem is... [21:02] I've just taken the hard drives out of a server that was running 8.10 and put them into an identical machine. Everything booted up fine but it says it doesn't recognize eth0. [21:03] is there some script I can run to redetect all the hardware? [21:05] donspaulding: look at your /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net [21:05] and remove the previous entry from the old adapter [21:05] and restart [21:06] jmedina_grinch: thanks. would there be other udev files I'd need to remove? or is this typically just an issue with ethernet? [21:06] only that [21:06] yesterday I changed my hard disck [21:06] only removed the line and restarted, and everything is normal [21:06] jmedina_grinch: ok, thanks. [21:07] is the third time I change the HD [21:12] no one who knows why this is happening? http://pastebin.com/m11e37b8f [21:13] or if someone might be able to help me decipher the error :) [21:15] is this correct [21:15] sec [21:17] find . -type file -iname "*.jpg" -exec scp {} \; -print [21:17] i want to find all the jpg's then scp or mv them somewhere else [21:27] find . -name "*.jpg" -exec mv {} ../../itdata/lastchance \; -print [21:27] maybe that will work === luke is now known as lukehasnoname === jmedina_grinch is now known as jmedina [23:12] hey guys i got a question... i'm trying to upload a svn to my lan server from my vista box directly onto /var/www even though i told samba to share it its not letting me do that [23:15] N6REJ: and how did you tell that to samba? [23:16] lots of yelling and shaking of fists [23:16] through smb.conf [23:16] lol yeah really [23:16] told it to make it a guest ok directory [23:16] and the share block is like? [23:16] vista doesnt really play well with my samba install either [23:17] jmedina: want me to pastebin it or paste it here? [23:17] N6REJ: if you want [23:17] [apache] [23:17] path = /var/www/ [23:17] browseable = yes [23:17] read only = no [23:17] guest ok = yes [23:17] create mask = 0775 [23:17] directory mask = 0755 [23:17] but one thing, I never used vista [23:18] and what about the /var/www permissions? [23:18] vista can see it and read [23:18] samba can't override File system control access [23:18] drwxrwsr-x [23:18] N6REJ: ls -ld /var/www [23:18] I guess you are connecting as guest (without password) [23:18] yeah [23:19] well the guess (nobody) can't write in /var/www/ [23:19] and the user troy can't write in that folder eirther [23:19] idk how to change it though [23:19] least not properly [23:19] when you give guest ok access to a share, samba maps the guest account to nobody by default [23:19] jmedina: i told it to use troy as the guest account [23:20] for me, vista put the domain/workgroup in no matter what [23:20] agampher: yeah same there [23:20] here [23:20] well domain anyway [23:20] N6REJ: well you can change the access mod to the dir /var/www [23:20] not workgroup [23:20] jmedina: how? [23:21] vista just doesnt play well with samba, i believe i had to use webmin to navigate the samba configuration to get my head around it, i think i finally got it to work, but it was a pain [23:21] agampher: was easy for me.. took my drives with no problem what so ever... this is first time i've had an issue [23:21] anything in /home i can share easily [23:22] don't matter if its my mac, vista, xp *nix they all play nice together [23:22] how did you get vista to stop with the workgroup/domain nonsense? [23:22] got 6 shared folders right now [23:22] for the other shares [23:22] oh let me post my conf [23:22] pastebin if you will [23:23] that way i can just copy the whole of it :) [23:27] Hi th/j qemu [23:27] agampher: http://pastebin.ca/1292665 [23:28] N6REJ: thanks man [23:28] agampher: np [23:28] works fantastic [23:28] i even access my srever via hallhome.lan :D [23:28] never could get vista to play nice [23:29] all purdy and everything, were you planning on distributing this? ;) [23:31] lol no, but ny network is stealthed so hopefully it wont' be too bad lol [23:31] forgot about the date [23:31] till i hit send [23:32] oh sweet! i can delete the post :D [23:32] for those who have problems with samba and vista take a look [23:32] http://www.wikipeando.com/index.php/archives/183 [23:32] all gone :D [23:32] there are some configs [23:32] jmedina: thanks [23:33] or should i say: gracias [23:33] in english: [23:33] http://www.builderau.com.au/blogs/codemonkeybusiness/viewblogpost.htm?p=339270746 [23:33] :D [23:33] haha [23:34] Does anyone have any experience w/ samba on Ubuntu server?
