[05:35] <jay2> Merry Christmas everyone
[05:41]  * genii hands out eggnog
[05:53] <chilli0> k
[05:54] <chilli0> does anyone have a link to a tutorial that shows me how to install ftp and lighttpd on ubuntu server?
[06:01] <jmarsden> chilli0: sudo apt-get install vsftpd lighttpd lighttpd-doc    # should install them; it's too simple to need a tutorial?
[06:02] <jmarsden> Then read their docs if you want to know how to configure them after they are installed.
[06:02] <chilli0> k
[06:02] <chilli0> thanks
[06:02] <chilli0> and
[06:02] <jmarsden> No problem.
[06:02] <chilli0> when i install ubuntu server
[06:02] <chilli0> is there an option to install X?
[06:02] <jmarsden> No, by design there is not.
[06:02] <chilli0> ah
[06:03] <chilli0> should it be hard to do it in cli?
[06:03] <jmarsden> Hard to do what?
[06:03] <chilli0> set up a websever
[06:03] <chilli0> so i can edit the website from my lappy
[06:04] <chilli0> atm this computer is the server
[06:04] <jmarsden> No, as long as you are reasonably comfortable at the command line you can configure stuff easily enough.  And once you have it configured you can use any GUI FTP or SFTP client to upload your web content, etc from your laptop or any other machine.
[06:04] <chilli0> yeh
[06:04] <chilli0> i shall give it ago
[06:05] <chilli0> o and
[06:05] <chilli0> how can i make a static ip for the server?
[06:05] <chilli0> its inside the router
[06:06] <jmarsden> Read the Ubuntu Server Guide for how to give a machine a static IP.  How to tell your router to forward ports depends on the router, but is usually a simple web interface on the router.
[06:06] <chilli0> ive made the router port forward
[06:06] <chilli0> just need to static it up a lil
[06:06] <chilli0> thanks for your help
[06:07] <jmarsden> No problem.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/networking.html
[06:08] <chilli0> is somba like ftp?
[06:08] <chilli0> samba*
[06:10] <jmarsden> Samba is like Microsoft Windows network shares, not really like FTP.  Do not use Samba across the Internet...
[06:11] <chilli0> kk
[06:11] <chilli0> i wont then
[06:11] <chilli0> what is the best version of the server?
[06:11] <jmarsden> Best for who for doing what? :)
[06:12] <jmarsden> Are you sure you actually need a server version of Ubuntu... you could just add a web server and FTP to your existing desktop Ubuntu installation...
[06:12] <chilli0> true
[06:12] <chilli0> i was thinking about doing it that way
[06:13] <chilli0> i may aswell do it that way
[06:13] <chilli0> i know how to set up lighttpd
[06:13] <jmarsden> If this is just a hobby/experiment thing, do it that way.  If you are building a real production server, use Ubuntu Server.
[06:13] <chilli0> yeh its hobby thing
[06:14] <HttpErrors> indeed it is chilli0
[06:14] <jmarsden> They keep it simple and just add the services you need to your desktop install.
[06:14] <chilli0> HttpErrors:  ooo
[06:14] <HttpErrors> it is very easy to do, i can run you along it
[06:14] <chilli0> HttpErrors:  i got a new lappy today , and mum wont let me have 2 computer so i have to give this to my brother , but i get his old one for a server
[06:14] <HttpErrors> sweet
[06:15] <chilli0> HttpErrors:  i need ftp and lighttpd and a static ip
[06:15] <HttpErrors> uhh.
[06:15] <chilli0> ?
[06:15] <HttpErrors> i dont think you can do the static ip bit
[06:15] <chilli0> LIEs
[06:15] <HttpErrors> or is it in LAN?
[06:15] <chilli0> yeh lans
[06:15] <chilli0> i did it on this computer
[06:16] <chilli0> but i dont know how i did it
[06:16] <HttpErrors> ah
[06:16] <HttpErrors> just click on Network manager
[06:16] <chilli0> k
[06:16] <chilli0> edit?
[06:16] <chilli0> for some reasons
[06:16] <HttpErrors> indeed
[06:16] <chilli0> it says its not connected
[06:17] <HttpErrors> its all greyed?
[06:17] <HttpErrors> oh
[06:17] <chilli0> no not greayed
[06:17] <chilli0> its got a x on the sign
[06:17] <HttpErrors> are you connected?
[06:17]  * chilli0 face-desk
[06:17] <chilli0> dehh
[06:17] <chilli0> lol
[06:17] <chilli0> but go on
[06:17] <HttpErrors> what is your LANs ip range?
[06:18] <HttpErrors> and subnet mask
[06:18] <HttpErrors> wait
[06:18] <HttpErrors> What is your routes IP address in the LAN, and what is your subnet mask?
[06:18] <chilli0> 192.168.254.254 is my routers thingo
[06:18] <chilli0> subnet is  254.254.0.0
[06:19] <chilli0> i think
[06:19] <HttpErrors> 254.254?
[06:19] <HttpErrors> O.O
[06:19] <chilli0> maby?
[06:19] <HttpErrors> That is SOO wrong
[06:19] <HttpErrors> its mostlikely 255.255.0.0
[06:19] <chilli0> Mask:255.255.255.0
[06:19] <chilli0> yeh
[06:19] <chilli0> its that
[06:19] <chilli0> Mask:255.255.255.0
[06:19] <HttpErrors> ohnoes :<
[06:19] <HttpErrors> eh
[06:20] <HttpErrors> ok
[06:20] <chilli0> ?
[06:20] <chilli0> why noes
[06:20] <HttpErrors> untick Roaming mode
[06:20] <chilli0> i can change
[06:20] <HttpErrors> dw
[06:20] <chilli0> im changing it
[06:20] <HttpErrors> not needed
[06:20] <chilli0> what should it be?
[06:20] <HttpErrors> ok
[06:20] <HttpErrors> 255.255.0.0
[06:20] <chilli0> k
[06:20] <HttpErrors> change it on all comps
[06:21] <HttpErrors> and router
[06:21] <chilli0> done
[06:21] <jmarsden> HttpErrors: If the LAN addresses are 192.168.x.0 then subnet is 255.255.255.0 unless you are doing something extremely unusual.
[06:21] <HttpErrors> in larger networks, it makes it eaiser
[06:22] <jmarsden> HttpErrors: chili0 can't even have two computers, and you are trying to set up so he can have 65535 of them???
[06:22] <HttpErrors> jmarsden: i personally use 172.16.1.??? for DHCP .2.??? for Statics and .3.??? for servers
[06:23] <jmarsden> I really think 255 will be sufficient.  Yes, but he has said that his network is at 192.168
[06:23] <chilli0_> back
[06:23] <chilli0_> but
[06:23] <chilli0_> it didnt work
[06:23] <chilli0_> it did
[06:23] <chilli0_> but
[06:23] <HttpErrors> jmarsden: expandability. and keeps the dhcp range clear of static ips
[06:23] <chilli0_> my mask is the same on this computer
[06:23] <HttpErrors> :/
[06:24] <chilli0_> i think i can fix  give me a min
[06:24] <chilli0_> or maby not
[06:25] <HttpErrors> k
[06:25] <HttpErrors> its not imperative
[06:25] <chilli0_> k
[06:25] <HttpErrors> but it is useful
[06:25] <chilli0_> i see
[06:26] <jmarsden> HttpErrors: Expandability is gained by using standards appropriately.  You break one if you use 192.168.x.0/16.  Apparently you are not employed as a network admin?  Anyway, your call if you are going to support this strangely configured network for chilli0_
[06:26] <chilli0_> why is it strange lol
[06:26] <jmarsden> Read the RFCs about private network address ranges...
[06:27] <chilli0_> k
[06:27] <chilli0_> any who
[06:27] <HttpErrors> jmarsden: overly complex, but it work better than clustering DHCP, Statics and Servers into one range
[06:27] <chilli0_> HttpErrors:  so when i download ubuntu 8.10 in the morning , ill install it
[06:27] <chilli0_> and then talk to u
[06:28] <chilli0_> becasue my internet speed is at dial-ups
[06:28] <HttpErrors> k
[06:28] <chilli0_> it gots back to 1.5mps in the morning
[06:28] <HttpErrors> heheh
[06:28] <chilli0_> and my brother wants me to install windblows on this computer
[06:28]  * HttpErrors loves his 24Mbps (11Mbps true)
[06:28] <chilli0_> so i think ill do that now
[06:29] <chilli0_> i saw 50mps for $170
[06:29] <chilli0_> i wants
[06:29] <HttpErrors> eh
[06:29] <HttpErrors> silly commercial connections
[06:29] <HttpErrors> im on a residential conn
[06:30] <chilli0_> o i see
[06:30] <chilli0_> whats a good irc client for windows?
[06:30] <chilli0_> im gonna go on my lappy
[06:30] <HttpErrors> mirc
[06:30] <chilli0_> k
[06:31] <chilli0_> shall do
[06:31] <HttpErrors> or putty.
[06:31] <chilli0_> afk
[06:31] <HttpErrors> k
[06:31] <chilli0_> putty?
[06:31] <chilli0_> putty = irc?
[06:31] <jmarsden> Putty is not an IRC client.
[06:31] <HttpErrors> yea, ssh to a nix comp and use irssi
[06:31] <chilli0_> erm
[06:31] <chilli0_> to complex
[06:31] <HttpErrors> indeed
[06:31] <chilli0_> mirc will do the job
[06:31] <chilli0_> afk naw
[06:32] <HttpErrors> k
[07:45] <chilli0> hey im back
[07:45] <chilli0> on my lapy
[07:45] <chilli0> lappy
[16:17] <cdshan> Hello Everyone!  I had just completed installing ubuntu-server 8.04.1 with software raid
[16:17] <cdshan> I had configured Raid1
[16:17] <cdshan> With 2 physical disks
[16:18] <cdshan> I have partitioned the disks into partitions like md0 - /; md1-/var md2-/home, etc
[16:19] <cdshan> Now I want to make sure that if my first disk in the array fails, I am able to boot into using the second disk.
[16:19] <cdshan> Could someone point me to the documentation for the same or help me in setting it up?
[16:21] <WoLf_Loonie> I was looking around it too, for something similar (had issues to boot a raid0 setup).. what I found, is that for a raid1 to boot from another disk, you have to install GRUB on the second disk too. (I'm not an official helper nor nothing, just a bystander who stumbled on a similar issue ;P)
[17:39] <donspaulding> hi all, I'm running a remote ubuntu server that seems to spike to 100% CPU utilization on occasion.  When it does this, I can still ping the server, but can no longer ssh into a terminal.  How can I configure the server so that ssh always has enough resources to log me into the box to see what's going on?
[17:40] <yann2> maybe some people use nice to give the ssh daemon a higher priority
[18:04] <donspaulding> yann2: any idea what a "safe" nice value would be for sshd?
[18:21] <zicada> the open web is a beaitiful soup of barely compatible clients and servers. It comprises billion od pages, millions of users, and thousands of browser based applications. You can access the open web with open source and proprietary browsers, on open source and prorprietary operating systems, on open source and proprietary hardware"
[18:22] <zicada> :D
[23:28] <LinuxLover4_> I have ubuntu server 8.10. when I insert a flash drive or cd or dvd, will it automaticly mount? or do I have to use some commands to mount the files?
[23:30] <LinuxLover4_> anyone. . .?
