L_Ywhat should i do if i want to let a program run by it self in minimize?02:28
jmarsdenL_Y: minimize?  On a server?  Normally you would just do   nohup programname &    # to run a prog in the background "by itself", is that what you mean?02:29
L_Yi want to let the thunderbird run by itself in the background02:30
jmarsdenThunderbird needs a GUI... why would you want it in the background?02:30
jmarsdenUbuntu server does not come with X and does not come with Gnome or KDE or any other X windowing desktop environment, so Thunderbird won't run on ubuntu server unless you do a lot of manual work to add X... are you sure this is for a server?02:32
jmarsdenYou are in #ubuntu-server :)02:33
Eliteokay wth, I have samba installed and when I try to go and "connect"(double click the server in windows) and I type in the root user and pass etc then it tells me that the login was not successfu05:12
kev009_has anyone here set up ubuntu to do an nfsroot and boot off tftp/pxelinux?08:31
BlinkizAfter a clean installation of hardy server it took about 20MB of RAM according htop. Intrepid server takes around 100MB of RAM. What is the difference here? What does the 2.6.27 kernel do so htop says it's using 100MB of RAM?11:20
daaaaniiieeeelHello.. I think i've locked myself out from SSH on my server :) It's a blocked port issue.. I'm not sure wether it's my ISP that's blocking the server or if it's something on the server itself12:07
daaaaniiieeeelChanged from default port 22 to port 1987 and it basically stopped working12:08
daaaaniiieeeelWould anyone like to try to login? so i could see if it's my ISP that's causing the problem12:08
erichammondmsg me the IP address and I'll check the port.12:09
daaaaniiieeeelI did an NMAP scan and port 1987 it returns: Filtered12:10
erichammonddaaaaniiieeeel: I'm not getting any response (no connection, no rejection) on that port either.12:11
daaaaniiieeeelOk but you can access the server on http (port 80) right?12:12
erichammonddaaaaniiieeeel: yep, it's good12:12
daaaaniiieeeelOk so did i forget something important when i switched from port 22 to 1987? i edited the /etc/sshd.conf file.. and then restarted ssh deamon12:13
daaaaniiieeeellogged out12:13
daaaaniiieeeelwhich was a bad idea :P12:13
daaaaniiieeeelnow i'm locked out12:13
erichammonddaaaaniiieeeel: Yep, always verify you can get back in before leaving.12:13
daaaaniiieeeelnewbie mistake huh ><12:14
daaaaniiieeeelbah.. so now i need physical access to the server right?12:14
erichammondFolks who really like safety set up a timer which switches back to the old sshd config.12:14
erichammondThis is also nice for testing iptables changes12:14
erichammondyep, unless you can find a security hole in your web server :)12:15
daaaaniiieeeelrofl12:15
daaaaniiieeeeloh damn12:15
daaaaniiieeeelSo what do you think may be the issue?12:16
daaaaniiieeeeliptables?12:16
erichammondPerhaps a firewall on the system or in front of it?12:17
daaaaniiieeeelWell as i said i did an nmap scan on the port12:18
daaaaniiieeeeland on other ports it says "closed"12:18
daaaaniiieeeelbut on this it says "filtered"12:18
daaaaniiieeeelwhich makes me wonder12:18
daaaaniiieeeelsounds like a firewall issue12:18
daaaaniiieeeelbut is there a way to find out if it's the actual server or something infront of it?12:19
daaaaniiieeeelI'm guessing it's something infront, because i tested switching ports on my local virtual ubuntu server12:19
daaaaniiieeeeland it worked just fine with any port12:19
daaaaniiieeeeland it's basically the same configuration12:19
kev009_how do I create a proper fat client for nfs boot?12:21
erichammonddaaaaniiieeeel: I'm going to bow out at this point.  It's past 4am and I need a bit of sleep before the kids wake me up.12:22
daaaaniiieeeelhehe ok12:22
daaaaniiieeeelcheers12:22

cheetionghi, any body know how to modify the initrd file? i have try to use cpio command to extract this file, then modify some thing, then cpio it again to be a initrd file, but boot got kernel panic?13:38
ograyou usually dont modify initramfs directly, what exactly do you want to change ?13:40
cheetiongogra: hi thank reply, i need to change some settings inside this initram file, because need to add driver on this live cd? please teach me.13:43
ograso you are remastering a liveCD ?13:43
ograif so, you can just put a line for the driver into /etc/modules ... just make sure you run the update-initramfs command afterwards and the driver will end up in your new initramfs13:44
ogra(indeed the driver needs to exist in the /lib/modules dir for your kernel)13:45
cheetiongogra: ic, i have try to open the initrd file by cpio command, then add some file, after that cpio back to initrd file, then cannot boot got errors: kernal panic?13:46
ograright, dont edit it directly13:47
ograupdate-initramfs will assemble the filesystem for you from the files in the system, just make sure they are there when running that program ...13:48
=== cateye348 is now known as cateye
ogra(see man update-initramfs)13:49
cheetiongogra: ok issue the command update-initramfs are already boot into this livecd, then i restart this livecd then the driver still remain same, because the CD is readonly..?13:49
ograright, that wont work13:50
cheetiongogra: u mean cannot change the livecd at all?13:50
cheetiongogra: because that livecd dont have my system latest new network card driver...:-(13:51
ograyou cant update a liveCD thats burned already ...13:51
ograsee https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization13:51
cheetiongogra: ok thank.13:51
ograyou can modify the iso ... before you burn it to disk13:51
cheetiongogra: thank you very much.13:52
