[00:00] i just did sudo tasksel install lamp, and after a split second it returned no output and got me back to terminal [00:01] sudo tasksel --list-tasks [00:01] i tihnk it's lamp-server [00:01] list'll tell you for sure [00:01] maybe i dont have tasksel ? [00:02] tasksel --help [00:02] although if you dont have tasksel, it'd error "command not found" [00:02] i have it [00:02] instead of silently failing [00:02] techsupport: You don't do like: sudo taskel install lamp you do: sudo tasksel then it runns and you use arrow keys etc to select the option of LAMP install [00:02] the silent fail sounds like a bug btw [00:02] and tasksel install lamp-server will work [00:02] you dont have to use the curses interface [00:02] tasksel --help for full cli syntax [00:03] genii, ok... but it didnt do anything after i typed sudo tasksel install lamp [00:03] Deeps, yeah that worked [00:03] techsupport: thats because theres no install task called 'lamp', but that silent fail should be considerred a bug i think [00:03] techsupport: syntax syntax and syntax [00:03] blue interface is asking for root user password in mysql [00:04] you have to define it in that screen [00:04] yes, installing packages.... i love it :) [00:04] Deeps: I forgot tasksel had cli options :) [00:05] genii: ;) nothing wrong with his syntax, just his task option ;) [00:05] i gave up on trying to have ubuntu virtual server at home and finally paid for VPS , and its been great since yesterday :) [00:05] i couldnt stop thinking about it at work today [00:05] Just for a spanner, can you not use aptitude, with something like this (I forget the exact syntax) aptitude install ^lamp-server [00:05] Deeps: True [00:05] the ^ goes at the end [00:06] apt-get install lamp-server^ [00:06] owh: There is no metapackage of anything like that [00:06] See :) [00:06] to signify it's a task [00:06] genii: Uh, aren't all tasksel options a task? [00:06] does anyone have a 7.x postgres init script they can share? [00:06] IIRC sudo tasksel $TASKNAME is all you need. [00:06] ScottK, and you'll need tasksel :) [00:08] Right, so just install that first if you don't have it, but I think it's standard. [00:09] ScottK, my point was that you need to install it - but I'll admit that I wasn't all that obvious. Aptitude is everywhere, hence my comment. [00:14] owh: For Intrepid (the one I checked) aptitude is seeded in Standard and tasksel is seeded in Minimal, so they should both be on any Ubuntu system. [00:14] ScottK, cool. Didn't know that.

[01:23] ok i'm in my database , under operations i see create new table on tabase , is that what you mean ? [01:23] techsupport: No. [01:24] k got it [01:24] techsupport: There are a whole lot of tables within the mysql database.

The server has a single ethernet port- and i'm wondering if i can till bridge- the howto on the ubuntu website assumes you're using your server to do DHCP and have a static ip address- neither is the case for me. anyone can tell me what i'd need to change fromhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN ? [02:05] faileas: read the official openvpn howto [02:06] you can use a routed vpn with a single nic server [02:07] *nods* [02:07] thats the main thing i wanted to check before i dived into it [02:08] <_dennister> hey channel...having a real problem generating some ssl keys for this new install...a problem i've never seen before [02:09] and the problem is......? [02:09] <_dennister> error message when I type in "openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key" is twofold: [02:10] <_dennister> 4103:error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:bss_file.c:352:fopen('server.key','r') [02:10] <_dennister> followed by a similar error message about lib:bss [02:11] it says there is no server.key file in the current directory [02:12] <_dennister> ok...thanks for the translation...i have to be in a different directory? eg /etc/ssl? [02:13] <_dennister> i've never worried about which directory i'm in before when i generated keys [02:14] _dennister: what howto/manual are you reading? [02:15] <_dennister> https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/certificates-and-security.html [02:16] you missed the first command the one to generate the private wey [02:17] <_dennister> lol...how silly of me [02:18] <_dennister> doesn't help that the documentation is now split up into different sections [02:23] <_dennister> jmedina: i started out with https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html...but that one doesn't tell you how to generate any keys...right away sends you to the certificates howto [02:24] but the certificates howto does [02:24] the httpd only tell you need to create a certificate and a key, I think it is ok [02:24] <_dennister> yes, and that's where i went, like a dutiful documentation-follower [02:27] <_dennister> i know from experience that i don't want this user to have to enter a passphrase, so i did for him what i usually do for myself: generate the passphrase-less key by:openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key....then i get errors and we're right back where we started [02:28] <_dennister> ^^^ [02:28] _dennister: Error: "^^" is not a valid command. [02:29] <_dennister> you said i missed a step, but which one, and where is it? [02:29] in the "Generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)" section [02:30] Whether you are getting a certificate from a CA or generating your own self-signed certificate, the first step is to generate a key. [02:30] tyhat one [02:31] <_dennister> and getting that key is the first step that I'm having trouble with! [02:31] the the warning about the passprashe and the known problems and the how to remove the passprhrase with they command you first typed [02:31] <_dennister> i try to generate the key itself, and i get errors [02:32] with this: openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024 ? [02:32] <_dennister> similar to that one...further down it says if you want passphrase-less, leave out the des3 switch [02:33] yeap, and what is the problem? [02:33] <_dennister> and type in: openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key.insecure...that's what i usually do and it's successful [02:33] <_dennister> this time it's not successful...i'm getting errors so can't get a key generated [02:34] but that is not the usual way, unless you have a pre existing key file named server.key [02:35] I have never read that howto, but that is the way to do it [02:36] _dennister: sorry I have to go [02:36] <_dennister> what an idiot.... [02:37] You or him? [02:38] <_dennister> lol...him...i was just gonna apologize to the channel [02:38] <_dennister> he was trying to help, really, but sending me in circles and deepening my frustration [02:39] I can understand the frustration (and I've said worse), but we do try to keep things polite around here .... [02:39] * ScottK reads the scrollback. [02:39] <_dennister> and guess what? i've now solved my problem :) despite him leading me astray...yes, and i'm usually ultra-polite, which is why i was going to make the apology to the channel [02:40] <_dennister> apology... [02:41] Heh. [02:41] What was it? [02:41] <_dennister> it was the genrsa step i hadn't done...the way the howto is written now (and it was also this way in the past) is a problem [02:42] _dennister: Please file a bug against ubuntu-doc so we can get it fixed. [02:43] <_dennister> ok, it's not really a bug though...it's really a simple logical-order problem [02:43] <_dennister> and i seem to remember that I have to reveal my identity and all sorts of stuff like that to file bugs [02:44] If the documentation led you astray, IMO, it's a bug. [02:44] And assuming you are actually Simon Breton it's not like you're particulalry hiding out here. [02:45] <_dennister> the way the documentation is, will work for people, but following it to the letter means that people will be stuck with a passphrase and apache won't load at boot [02:45] <_dennister> and i'm not simon...simon is a 12-year-old gifted kid i'm building this server for :-) [02:45] Right, so at least a warning note or something. [02:46] * ScottK hears a dog throwing up and goes to investigate. [02:48] <_dennister> i'll consider geting another wiki name or something...yes, it does bother this english major when documentation can be better and more logically-organized [02:49] _dennister: If it's actually a problem for you to file the bug, then just pastebin me what should go in it and I'll file it. [02:55] <_dennister> ScottK: thank you. i will; should take me about 5 minutes [03:21] <_dennister> ScottK: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7173edb5 perhaps i've been repetitive, but that's my style: paragraphs and leaving no room for misunderstanding if i can help it. edit as you will :-) [03:22] _dennister: Thanks. I'll look it over. Being painfully clear is fine. [03:26] <_dennister> no probs. i actually like to contribute, but i think more women would contribute and become members of the community if some anonymity options were available, but we're all discouraged from giving handles, men and women alike [04:27] ubuntu-vm-builder doesn't accept my "--firstboot" paramters, except it appears throughout some documentation [04:27] am i missing something? [04:31] Bangers2: Did you install python-vm-builder, or the older ubuntu-vm-builder ? And which script are you actually running? [04:34] Bangers2: If you install python-vm-builder, and use its vmbuilder script, --firstboot should work as documented, at least it seems to here for vmserver VMs. [04:35] Im using hardy with ubuntu-vm-builder package [04:35] does my older script doesnt actually support the --firstboot? [04:37] I only started using VMs recently (in Intrepid) so I don't know the answer to that. [04:46] New bug: #314952 in samba (main) "samba update filed" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/314952 [04:55] i'm using reading a man page over ssh in putty and instead of apostrophes I see an "a" with a caret over it. anyone know why this is? [04:58] peepsalot: Probably Putty is not Unicode-capable but your TERM setting and locate tell the remote system to use Unicode, or the reverse... [04:58] * ScottK hands peepsalot manpages.ubuntu.com [05:00] Well, that's a workaround... it won't really solve the underlying issue :) [05:00] i should set putty to UTF-8? [05:01] peepsalot: Make sure you have not defined LESSCHARSET to something interesting, play around a bit ... does LANG=C man man work fine, for example? [05:01] peepsalot: If the remote host is using UTF8, yes. [05:01] the remote host is a fresh ubuntu 8.10 server install [05:01] i'm not sure how to tell what it's using [05:02] echo $LANG [05:02] ah ok, utf-8 it is [05:02] If that includes the string UTF-8, then that is a big clue :) [05:04] yeah looks like the apostrophes are showing now [05:04] thanks guys [05:04] Good, you've got it fixed. No problem. [05:07] been running linux on desktop for years, but this is my first headless server to admin. got lots to learn. like how to use screen, which i've been meaning to learn for a while now [05:08] once you can attach,detach, and create new screens, you know enough to get around ;) [05:12] you guys use mc much? [05:13] Not me... but if you used Norton Commander back in the days of MSDOS on 286s, you'll probably like mc :) [05:13] jmarsden: putty IS unicode capable [05:14] Chipzz: Yes, but apparently UTF-8 was not enabled by default on peepsalot's version of it. [05:14] peepsalot: http://anti.teamidiot.de/nei/2007/02/irssi_putty_screen_unicode_utf/ [05:14] that's about putty / screen / irssi [05:15] but may be able to help you [05:17] why use putty instead of a strait ssh connection? [05:17] Kamping_Kaiser: If the local PC is running Windows, with no Cygwin, maybe? [05:18] jmarsden, i took "been running linux on desktop for years" to mean "I'm not currently sitting at a doze box" [05:19] Many people have more than one desktop machine... peepsalot, help us out... are you running Putty under Windows, or under Linux? [05:20] *drumroll* [05:20] ;) [05:20] it's windows. there's no problem to help with at the moment though. :-) [05:20] hello I have a 10GB disk but when I mount it and do df it says it's 4GB, how can I increase the fs please? [05:20] should I use tune2fs or something? [05:21] Alysum, has it been partitioned ? [05:21] Kamping_Kaiser, i am on a windows box at my work. i have all ubuntu boxes at home though [05:21] Alysum: Are you confusing the size of a partition with the size of the disk? Do you understand the difference? [05:21] Alysum, you could check with "sudo fdisk -l" [05:21] well does any of you know/use amazon web services S3? [05:21] peepsalot, :) I've done the 'doze at work for admining servers' thing before. it sucked a lot. [05:22] I have a snapshot of a 4GB volume which I put on a 10GB volume [05:22] parted /device show that it's 10B [05:22] ah, now thats the cause. [05:22] Kamping_Kaiser, doesn't seem so bad really. as long as I've got ssh, whats the difference? [05:22] df -h shows 4GB [05:22] Ah, OK. You would need to do something like boot from CD and then use a partition resizer to resize the 4GB partition [05:22] peepsalot, workspaces, keyboard shotcuts, tools to do quick local checks of scripts, etc, etc [05:22] Is this a local machine to you? [05:22] no no Im using console on a remote server :) [05:23] Wow, then I think you messed up; I do not know of a good way to resize the running root partition... [05:23] are you sure it needs resizing since parted shows 10GB already? I assume thats the size of it but FS doesnt know that [05:24] no its a mounted secondary one [05:24] no worries here [05:24] it' [05:24] s an ext3 one btw [05:25] something like xfs_grow is probably what I need [05:25] Alysum, as long as you can unmount the partition to do the resize offline, your ok [05:25] Can you umount it? If so then you can do that and use ... what is it called... e2fsresize or something like that...? Let me try and find it... [05:26] yes I cna unmount it and all but looking for the utility name, ta [05:28] http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions # has info using resize2fs but you haev to downgrade the fs to ext2 first, which is awkward, and the info is a bit old... [05:28] Alysum: why did you mention tune2fs when you're using xfs? [05:28] oh wait [05:29] "something like xfs_grow" [05:29] right [05:29] Chipzz: Yu would use tune2fs to disable jounralling (ext3 -> ex2) before using resize2fs [05:29] Im ext3 [05:29] jmarsden: he confused me with: 06:25 < Alysum> something like xfs_grow is probably what I need [05:29] yes thats a bit odd downgrading to etx2 lol [05:29] the only real difference is the journal [05:30] Im also confused with why parted shows 10GB [05:30] You should be able to online resize with ext3 these days shouldn't you? [05:30] parted is a partition editor right [05:31] hads: I'm not sure, is the online resizing stuff all safe now? It might be... [05:31] hads, i think it depends on th version of the tools you have available. you probably could in a modern ubuntu system, but i'd still be a bit wary of it [05:31] Alysum: Yes, but there is a difference between the size of a partition and the size a filesystem thinks it is. [05:31] http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2006/08/01/ext3-online-resizing/ [05:32] You have a 10GB partition now, it seems... but your FS has info in it saying it is a 4GB filesystem. [05:32] Yeah, I don't use ext3 for data partitions so I'm not sure. [05:32] jmarsden yes [05:33] ext4's hit mainline now. wonder how long until we get a room full of people who had to use the bleeding edge coming in with busted filesystems [05:35] surely there must be an easy tool for etx fs [05:35] I'm not seeing anything beyond ext2resize and resize2fs in my Googling so far... [05:36] i think resize2fs is where its at [05:36] Yes, that's what it looks like from here too. [05:37] Alysum: So, man resize2fs and go from there. The man page for Intrepid says it can handle ext3 directly now, and also do so onlinenow [05:37] I'd suggest doing it offline if you have that option, it feels safer to me... [05:38] offline as in with the fs unmounted [05:39] Magic [05:39] resize2fs did it [05:39] thanks guys [05:39] Good :) No problem. [05:39] woot [05:40] Alysum, did you go ext3 offline resize or ext3 online? [05:42] resize2fs /dev/sdh 10G [05:42] resize2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) [05:42] Filesystem at /dev/sdh is mounted on /mnt/s3; on-line resizing required [05:42] so online :) [05:42] So it "just worked" online... good to know. [05:42] yeah [05:45] nice. [05:51] Apache2 question for anyone: how would I create a custom 404 error page? I've tried to research via web with no luck. [05:52] hrm, this cups guide does not seem very thorough. I don't know what I'm doing here. https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/cups.html [05:53] i've never had to set up cups before [05:54] Zombie_Gaz: ErrorDocument [05:54] I didn't remember that off the top of my head but found it by googling "apache custom 404" [05:55] right. so in apach2.conf i have... 'ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html' [05:55] erp [05:55] apache [05:55] so it should pull missing.html for a 404, right? [05:58] is there supposed to be a web interface for cups admin? if I try to access the cups server i get a 403 forbidden. this guide doesn't say much about how to configure cupsd.conf [06:05] any bash/screen experts here? [06:07] Chipzz: bash yes, screen not so much... ask your real question... [06:08] woo, got cups going. had to login from links locally, and use the web admin to allow remote web access, hehe [06:09] i'm not an expert, but I just read a tutorial on screen, so it's fresh in my mind :-P [06:12] jmarsden: I'm trying to get an extremely weird combination of bash prompt and the shelltitle sceen feature to work [06:13] jmarsden: you would need to be an expert in both to really help here I suppose [06:13] You can always ask and see .. what is your real question? [06:34] jmarsden: take a look at http://chipzz.safehex.be/docs/screenrc [06:35] the 4 lines after: ### Window titlebar ### [06:35] trying to get that to work properly with the stock ubuntu .bashrc file, and running into weird issues [06:35] case "$TERM" in [06:36] screen*) [06:36] PS1="${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}""\\u@\\h:\\w\$ \ek\e\\" ;; [06:36] esac [06:36] works [06:36] but replacing the first set of "..." with '...' doesn't [06:37] Chipzz: The "" around $TERM? Then TERM won't be expanded... [06:37] no [06:37] the "" around ${debian_chroot...} [06:39] OK, by my could that is the second set of "" in what you posted here... but the same applies I think, if you make them single quotes the ${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)} will try to be expanded at runtime not at .bashrc execution time. [06:40] I'm aware of that [06:40] please read the rest of your stock .bashrc file [06:41] #if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then [06:41] # PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ ' [06:41] #else [06:41] # PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ ' [06:41] (commented out in my case) [06:41] Ahem, my .bashrc is very much non-stock :) But I'll find the stock one... [06:41] the stock .bashrc also delays that expansion till runtime [06:41] /etc/skel/.bashrc I suspect [06:41] Yep. [06:42] the defhstatus/shelltitle combo is a neat trick btw :) [06:42] *if* you get it to work [06:42] it shows the running command inside of screen in your windows titlebar [06:45] So you are saying that your version fails to work unless you use single quotes? [06:45] yes [06:47] Hmmm. I wonder if using screen effectively evaluates the stuff "twice" in some fashion? But anyway, if it works with single quotes, use them and all is well, right?? [06:48] it works with double quotes [06:48] but [06:48] I possibly want to get this upstream (in the ubuntu screen-tricks package/stock bashrc) [06:48] there probably is a reason why they're using single quotes [06:49] so I'ld like to not deviate from that [06:50] I'm confused, are you trying to get them into a .screenrc file -- or does the screen-tricks package somehow update the default .bashrc??? [06:51] Stuff in .screenrc is being interpreted by screen, stuff in .bashrc is interpreted by bash... it's not surprising their approach to quotes differs, is it? or am I misunderstanding? [06:52] jmarsden: both [06:53] there's 2 parts to getting this to work [06:53] first involves .screenrc, which I would like to get into the screen-tricks package [06:53] second involves .bashrc, which I would like to get into the relevant package [06:55] anyway gtg, ttyl [06:55] Good luck on the second part :) Hmm. OK. [07:20] good morning from norway :) [07:21] I've installed openLDAP server on a Ubuntu Server 8.10.where can i find the sldap.conf file? In 8.04 it was in /etc/ldap/ [07:23] It's moved to cn=config [07:24] Scix: starting from ubuntu 8.10 openldap uses cn=config for its configuration [07:24] Scix: check https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html [07:24] OK, tank you :) [08:45] moin [10:14] w3m => light-weight browser for CLI, so I can use "Tab" to jump from link to another, but how do i jump backward to previous link (I have tried to use Shift+Tab but it won't work) please advise, thanks [11:17] Hello there [11:18] How can I check which version of openldap I have installed? [11:53] Greetings [11:54] What's a good directory server to use these days on which distro? [11:54] ie Fedora Directory Server? [12:07] JGJones: I like openldap on ubuntu :) [13:34] sommer: Would you please take a look at Bug 314951? I gather it's in your area (Server Guide).

[14:44] Just thinking about RAID. [14:44] ball: cpu is not very noticable [14:44] ball: indeed, whereas 2 disks fail in raid5 and you're done [14:45] Is RAID 5 easier to grow? [14:46] ball: No clue [14:47] http://linux-raid.osdl.org/index.php/Growing [14:47] Thanks Deeps [14:48] raid6 for data (raidsets of 8-14 disks) [14:49] aye thats what i'd do for that quantity of disks [14:49] with a hotspare [14:50] * ball isn't even sure what RAID 6 is [14:50] Perhaps I predate it :-) [14:50] raid 5 with 2 spare disks instead of 1 :) [14:50] Ah, I was about to ask about that. [14:50] well, 2 parity disks, not spare [14:50] sorry yes [14:50] ...thought that was still RAID 5 [14:51] you can have raid 5+1 which would be raid 5 with a spare :P [14:51] yann2: ehm. or you could mean a mirrored pair of raid5:s with 5+1 [14:52] oh am I saying bullshit [14:52] yes I think you are right [14:52] yeah, to say "5+1" for RAID 5 with a hot spare is confusing. [14:52] I thought that, but wasn't going to say anything ;-) [14:52] ok sorry I'm afk again then ;) [14:54] hello jjesse [14:55] hello ball [15:17] hello Shanix_ [15:17] ball, hi [15:29] hey everyone [15:29] I have a question about NFS in a HA environment [15:29] I have setup heartbeat to fail NFS over and setup fsids in /etc/exports for the nfs kernel server, however when I fail over I get Stale NFS file Handle errors. if I remount everything looks great however. Any thoughts? [16:12] mathiaz: the mysql-5.1 package needs some work, like the root password stuff hasnt been backported amongst other things [16:12] mathiaz: but we should add a BIG FAT WARNING to it though [16:15] Any roundcube webmail users here? Beware. There is a vulnerability disclosed recently which has been actively searched by bots for a week. My apache server is reporting such attacks every 20 minutes today. [16:16] zul: warning about what? [16:17] mathiaz: thats its not really supported by the ubuntu server team just yet [16:17] that its not as polished as the mysql version in main (ie: apparmor etc) [16:18] zul: well - it's in universe [16:18] http://www.heise-online.co.uk/security/RoundCube-vulnerability-allows-injection-of-arbitrary-scripting-code--/news/112330 [16:18] true im just building it locally before uploading it [16:23] hi [16:24] I am trying to make a script that will email me information [16:25] what command would I use to be able to do that [16:31] kizer: you can use cron for that. With cron you can scedule a script to send the email [16:36] well, I don't know the command for having an email sent [16:37] croatian CERT released a document with analysis of ubuntu security [16:38] got a "simple" question : is there a documentation on the ./configure parameters for PHP on 8.04 somewhere - looking but not finding it...... [16:38] conclusion was that users should try ubuntu cause of very good security records [16:39] penrod: ? you are compiling php? [16:39] * ball shudders [16:39] yes - [16:39] penrod: you don't like php from ubuntu packages? [16:40] reason being i need a previous version [16:40] apt-get source php5 [16:40] check out debian/rules file [16:40] perfect [16:41] ivoks: \o/ [16:41] :) [16:41] jdstrand: ;) [16:41] jdstrand: everything was green or '100%' [16:41] jdstrand: better than opensuse, fedora and vista [16:41] well, that's their conclusion [16:42] it's a 20 pages long document [16:44] Does anyone know how to email from command line? [16:44] mutt ; mail [16:44] mail? [16:45] Does US come with "mail"? [16:45] just type mail and hit enter [16:45] I'm sorry, I'm not familier with "mail" [16:45] cat cabbage.txt|mail -s Cabbages ball@cyberspace.org [16:45] hmm.. I think that's what I'm looking for [16:45] thanks [16:45] np [16:45] ball: i'm not sure, but it's in mailutils package [16:46] ivoks: thanks. [16:47] yeah I'm getting mailutils via apt-get [16:49] kizer: you can use sendmail for sending mail. [16:53] use "mail" unless you need to do something fancy, then you might want to look into something like mutt [16:55] ivoks: cool :) now with mdeslaur here, we will hopefully do even better [16:56] hehe [17:03] ivoks: do you have a URL for that report? :) [17:05] Why would ssh only work on my ip address and not my hostname... when httpd works on both ip and hostname? [17:06] erp sshd i mean [17:06] Zombie_Gazza: Check that both /etc/hosts and your DNS server have correct info for your host? [17:07] ok [17:07] in /etc/hosts [17:07] would i add a line with the ip# to point to my hostname? [17:07] ivoks: http://www.cert.hr/filehandler.php?did=357 ? [17:07] ie; 23.12.167.34 to this.com [17:08] Zombie_Gazza: Yes... but it should be there already; if not look for one saying 127.0.1.1 myhostname.whatever and change the 127.0.1.1 to the real IP; I don't know how that one gets there but have seen it on some Ubuntu desktop machines [17:08] ya [17:08] that's what's in there [17:09] just 127.0.0.1 to mne [17:09] Leave the 127.0.0.1 alone, if there a 127.0.1.1 one as well? [17:10] You want something like: 127.0.0.1 localhost [17:10] 172.17.17.100 black.jmarsden.org black [17:11] hi here [17:11] yea, there is [17:11] anyone knows if there s a gui for lvm2 management ? [17:11] Zombie_Gazza: I need to leave for work... OK, edit the 127.0.1.1 oen and leave the 127.0.0.1 localhost alone. [17:11] do i need to resrtrart? [17:11] erp [17:11] restart? [17:11] or should that just do it. [17:13] hello there [17:14] I've been trying to establish connection for 2 days now with ubuntu server but somehow I don't have that luck to do it === frojnd_ is now known as frojnd [17:14] Zombie_Gazza: Restart sshd, no need to restart the whole machine [17:15] I've checked cables, even bought a new lan card [17:15] and I still can't ping nor router nor anything [17:16] jmarsden: I have 68.82.187.97 dante.taxreligion.com dante in my /etc/hosts file... i did a ssh restart. [17:17] Yet, still... can't resolve hostname. [17:17] frojnd, interface is up has an ip , etc ...? [17:17] Zombie_Gazza: Your server machine is directly on the public Internet? No firewall in the way, no NAT, or anything like that? [17:18] orogor: I've set /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolf.conf [17:18]
