JanCsome parts of IBM are 200% pro-linux/unix, other parts don't know it exists...00:01
dazmanIt's certainly something we need to start looking at though.. in terms of getting things to a point where these sort of solutions are very plug in, install and work.. and manageable for most people moving forwards.00:02
nomingziRemote clients (who granted remote dial-in) can easily create VPN connection to server and the logon info (user ID & password) can be saved. so this create security problem if more users create VPN connection from unsafe (or home PC) to our server, how can I prevent this? what are the cheap-way of secondary authentication? Please advise.02:27

henriquelmCan you guys tell me what is the command line to upgrade and ubuntu server from the CD?11:44
henriquelmI don't have the graphical interface installed11:52
henriquelmI have tryed the command gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade", but it didn't work11:52
ivoksthere's no gksu11:53
ivoksthere's sudo11:53
ivoksgksu is grpahical tool11:53
ivoksi'm not sure cdromupgrade is CLI script11:53
henriquelm[ivoks]: I was just following the instructions of ubuntu's website (http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading), but like you said, the instructions are for those who have graphical interface.11:56
Ward1983so i decided to try kvm12:00
Ward1983but i read it needs a modified qemu, is that taken care of allready if i install it in 8.04 64bit ?12:00
Ward1983i dont read anything about it here so: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/kvm12:00
ivoksWard1983: kvm is modified qemu12:06
ivokseverything you need for kvm is in ubuntu already12:06
ivokskvm (userspace) is modified qemu, while kvm (kernel) is a kernel module12:07
Ward1983ivoks, ok so i just follow the steps on the URL i gave?12:08
Ward1983just to make sure12:08
Ward1983(just had a bad experience with xen + 8.04 64bit)12:08
ivoksWard1983: what do you want to achive?12:09
ivoksinstall another ubuntu in vm?12:09
ivoksor some other os?12:09
Ward1983ivoks, lol no12:09
ivokscause, if you want ubuntu, ubuntu-vm-builder would speed things up a lot12:09
Ward1983ivoks, i wanted to learn xen first but since xen dosnt work and i did do some domUs before i might aswell learn kvm (people here suggested it since its supported and xen is not)12:09
Ward1983ivoks, ubuntu-vm-builder is for building virtual ubuntuś ?12:10
ivoksyes12:10
Ward1983ivoks, is it similar to xen-toolsś debootstrap installations?12:10
Ward1983that wiould be nice :)12:10
ivoksyes, it debootstraps ubuntu and/or debian12:10
Ward1983ivoks, sorry i thought you were gonna suggest virtualbox etc :) because you asked what i wanted to achieve12:11
Ward1983oh very nice i liked that about xen :)12:11
Ward1983thanx for the tip12:11
ivokshttps://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ubuntu-vm-builder.html12:11
Ward1983ivoks, any idea on the speed compared to xen?12:12
Ward1983roughly12:12
ivoksi don't know any exact numbers, but i don't see how faster from kvm it could be12:13
ivoks:)12:13
=== mcasadevall is now known as NCommander
Ward1983ivoks, well xen was insanely performanet here lol, i was really amased12:13
Ward1983hopefully equally amased by kvm then12:13

Ward1983btw12:44
ivoksnewer version? :)12:46
henkjanWard1983: newer kvm version i suppose. Hardy has kvm 62. Intrepid has v7212:46
Ward1983ivoks, newer kvm version aswell?12:46
Ward1983ah ok :s12:47
Ward1983i would think they would make updates for 8.0412:47
Ward1983since its LTS12:47
Ward1983is it also in desktop 8.10?12:47
Ward1983have that one on my external HD :p installs pretty fast12:48
henkjandesktop and server are the same repo's. Only a different default install12:48
Ward1983ah nice thats what i hoped12:48
Ward1983i didnt fiddle with server much yet12:48
henkjanapt-file reports no /usr/bin/qemu-kvm for me12:48
Ward1983lol i was trying the same henkjan12:49
Ward1983apt-file owns12:49
henkjanWard1983: server install is a basic ubuntu install without a graphical interface12:49
Ward1983henkjan, and alternate install?12:49
henkjanalternate install is for eg small memory systems12:50
Ward1983also minial install no?12:50
Ward1983well basic install12:50
frippzhmm, seems that /usr/bin/qemu-kvm is the same as /usr/bin/kvm12:50
Ward1983well going to reinstall 8.10 lol12:51
Ward1983if only i knew xen didnt work beforehand i would have kept it... lol12:51

dazmanThere's also /etc/crontab if you want it system-wide.. so not specific to one user.13:25
erik78seWhat is the main method to administer user rights on a server as part of securing a server? sudoers?13:45
erik78seIf I would like a user to be able to mount/unmount devices, etc... how whould I do that the "debian/ubuntu" way ?13:46
Deepsspecify 'user' as an option in the fstab entry for your mountpoint, and users can mount/unmount it13:46
erik78seOk, that would be "a" way, but I'm sure its not the main metod... I'm not specifically interested in devices, but security in general....13:47
erik78sesudo for example13:47
erik78se... I'm comparing it to the desktop "gnome-authorizations"... where you can like change stuff like that in a GUI.13:48
erik78se... do you understand what I'm after ?13:48
Deepsnot entirely, but if you're after the ability to allow users to run a limited subset of commands wiht elevated privledges, sudo is probably the way to go13:49
erik78seYeah... What I'm after is if you run a large server park, you need a very flexible way of centrally manage "rights" in your server park. Like having a central "sudoers" file is one example. Some people have the sudoers-file in an LDAP... I'm curious how Ubuntu has thought about that. Its needed in large environments.13:51

kirklanddidrocks: perhaps you can come up with some keybindings that work for putty16:17
Deepsswitched to ^G instead of ^A? brave16:17
kirklanddidrocks: if you do, we can check them in and store them in /usr/share/screen-profiles/keybindings/putty16:17

kirklanddidrocks: right, we'll add an option to the menu, to let you select your preferred profile16:21
kirklandDeeps: yup16:21
kirklandDeeps: that's what made the initial startup take ~5 seconds or whatever16:21
Deepskirkland: it's wrong then. i did an apt-get update just now, apt-get upgrade confirms 38 packages need updating, the number didnt changee. killed screen, started a new one, it still says 18!16:22
kirklandDeeps: hmm, interesting, okay, test something for me ...16:22
kirklandDeeps: btw, what version of Ubuntu are you running?16:22
Deepsgood question16:23
Deepshardy!16:23
kirklandshould tell you in the bottom left of the screen16:23
kirklandokay ...16:23
Deepsoh lol, yeah, i didnt see that16:24
Deeps\o/ Ubuntu 8.04.116:24

Nafallokirkland: you got around to fixing ppas for that product? :-)16:24
kirklandDeeps: okay, rm /var/tmp/updates-available-$USER16:25
Deepsyeah i was just looking, my cache is < 60mins old16:25
kirklandNafallo: ?16:25
kirklandDeeps: right16:25
Deepsso it makes sense that it hasn't updated16:25
kirklandDeeps: did you run the apt-get update *after* starting screen?16:25
Deepsyep16:26
kirklandDeeps: yeah, that'll do it ...16:26
Nafallokirkland: remember we spoke about not having those packages in your private ppa since that would install a bunch of other things? :-)16:26

kirklandNafallo: ah, right!16:26
kirklandNafallo: well, it's in universe now :-)16:26
Deepskirkland: i tend to do everything in screen, force of habbit from when i was stuck with only a gprs connection16:26
Deepskirkland: unreliable connection, dont need stuff dying just cuz my terminal dropped off16:27
kirklandDeeps: cool, i think you've got it16:27
kirklandDeeps: nice16:27
Nafallokirkland: hehe. only jaunty then :-). I'll wait for it then :-)16:27
Deepskirkland: 18! still showing in my screen though, it hasn't updated that still16:27
kirklandDeeps: glad you like it then, please feed any instructions16:27
kirklandNafallo: well, you can install the Jaunty binary anywhere;  it's version agnostic16:27
Deepskirkland: had to restart screen for it to show the updated count16:28
Nafallokirkland: hehe. fair enough.16:28
kirklandNafallo: just wget that binary, and dpkg -i it16:28
Nafallokirkland: dpkg :-O16:28
kirklandDeeps: right so there's two ways we can solve that ....16:28
Nafallokirkland: gdebi -i damnit ;-)16:28
kirklandDeeps: we can bind a key to refresh your screen16:28
kirklandNafallo: :-P16:28
Deepskirkland: thats excellent though, i thought my machine and connection was being a bit sluggish, wouldn't have thought twice about it but saw in the bottom corner that system load was around 0.8, and promptly investigated and killed the rogue process16:29
kirklandDeeps: hmm, what rogue process?16:29
Deepskirkland: scripted automated thing from elsewhere, problem in my code, nothing else16:29
kirklandDeeps: ah, gotcha.  glad you like ;-)16:29
Deepsis very cool16:30
kirklandDeeps: i think more about how to get your updates better16:30
kirklandDeeps: fwiw, this is handled much more cleanly in Jaunty16:30
Deepscool16:30
kirklandDeeps: see that conditional code in my updates-available script16:30
kirklandDeeps: basically, jaunty maintains this information in /var/run/updates-available16:30
Deepsaah, nice16:30
kirklandDeeps: so my updates-available script doesn't have to do any hard work, just read that file16:31
Deepsshame that wont get backported to hardy16:31
kirklandDeeps: which i can do every 60 seconds or something16:31
Deepsyep, that sounds like a plan16:31
kirklandDeeps: cheers, thanks for testing16:31
Deepsthank you! this is niice16:31

didrockskirkland: we searched with nijaba about getting more interactivity with screen (like, retrieving the list of currently opened windows in screen like :windows does. But it seems complicated)16:34

paltI have a problem with an ubuntu server when downloading files to it. When I download big files say a dvdiso the file get corrupt somehow (The md5sum doesn't match). This doesn't happen for "small" files say 200M. Any idea what the problem could be? I would guess its the discs running in RAID 116:44
Deepskirkland: ok, will do, gotta pop out now will do it when i get back though as it'll irritate the hell out of me when it happens ;)16:44
paltfsck says that the file system is okay :)16:44

uvirtbot`Ivanhoe: Error: "^textmode" is not a valid command.16:46
paltIvanhoe: No, perhaps I should try that. Is there any way to do so with remote access?16:46
IvanhoeNot really, to do a proper memory test, you need physical access t the machine, and depending on how much memory you have installed it can be a very time consuming process.16:47
IvanhoeDoes your server use ECC?16:47

J_Phi all, I have a server with feisty (7.04), but somes packages don't works more.. Err http://archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main smartmontools 5.36-8ubuntu216:55
J_P  404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.40 80]16:55
J_PSo, Are there a place with all packages of feisty ? for me download smartools.deb and install manucally with dpkg ?16:56
NafalloJ_P: feisty is End Of Life and removed from the archive servers.16:56
J_Pahh :-(16:56
NafalloJ_P: the repository is still available from old-releases.ubuntu.com IIRC16:56
J_Pahh ok16:56
J_Pthat is fine :-)16:56
NafalloI strongly suggest you upgrade however.16:57
Nafallo...cause you won't receive handy things like say... SECURITY UPDATES on feisty ;-)16:57
J_PNafallo: yes, I know.. Do you that are there a problem upgrade directaly to 8.0.4 ?16:58
J_Por 8.1016:58
NafalloJ_P: you can't skip versions with non-LTSes.16:58
NafalloI'm not sure how difficult it would be considering the archive have moved.16:59
J_PNafallo: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/ don't have any binary16:59
NafalloJ_P: that's not how the archive works dude...17:00
paltIvanhoe: Thx :)17:00
NafalloJ_P: deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main <-- will work17:01
J_PNafallo:  ahh in the poold dir works :-)17:02
J_PNafallo: don't have smartools in http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/  :-(17:05
NafalloJ_P: you are running feisty now yea?17:06
J_PNafallo: yes17:06
NafalloJ_P: why don't you replace your sources.list with the new location of things, apt-get update and then use the package manager as you usually do?17:06
J_PNafallo: what new location ?17:07
NafalloJ_P: old-releases17:07
J_PNafallo: ahh ok :-)17:08
NafalloJ_P: does that make sense?17:08
J_PNafallo: yes17:09
J_P:-)17:09
J_PI forgot that.. uaehuae17:09
J_PNafallo: but I can upgrade one LTS to another with ?17:10
J_Pfor example a 7.0.4 to 9.0.4 ?17:10
NafalloJ_P: the built-in tools for upgrading probably doesn't work for this anymore, but you really want to go 7.04 -> 7.10 -> 8.04.217:11
NafalloJ_P: LTS would be 6.06 -> 8.0417:11
J_PNafallo: ok..17:11
J_Pnow other example..17:11
NafalloJ_P: since you are not on an LTS that will however not work :-)17:11
J_Pif I have the 5.0.4 ?17:11
Nafallo5.04 -> 5.10 -> 6.06 -> 8.0417:12
J_Pthe old-releases can be used to upgrade until get the oficial like as 7.10 ?17:12
J_PNafallo: but are there sources list for all old releases ?17:12
J_Pto upgrade.. ?17:12
NafalloI would hope so. but as I said, I'm not convinced about the status for do-release-upgrade for those EOL'd versions.17:13

kevinbrewsterQuestion: I have a server with apache2+ssl requiring a RCA pass phrase on start up. When I restart server, it hangs waiting for me to enter passphrase. Once I ssh to the server is there a way to bring that process to the "foreground" (so to speak) so I can enter in the passphrase?19:58
Nafallokirkland: especially if reboot-required is that often :-)19:58
ivokskevinbrewster: openssl rsa < key > new_key20:04

maw_there are a lot of snmp based monitoring/performance capture programs out there21:39
maw_I just like Cacti as it doesn't require an agent on every machine21:39
MatBoymaw_: itś OK, I have checked it21:40
MatBoya have a default route for 0.0.0.0 and 192.168.11.0 uses *21:40
MatBoyand 0.0.0.0 uses my gateway21:40
maw_wait... if it says 0.0.0.0 and 192.168.11.0 then that is wrong21:41
maw_it should be 0.0.0.0 192.168.11.25421:42
maw_but even so... apparently your gateway is on the same subnet so it should respond to ping21:42
maw_you need to dump your ifconfig and routing details for more help21:42
MatBoyyes it says that21:42
MatBoyand 192.168.11.0 uses gateway 0.0.0.021:43
MatBoythat is normal21:43
MatBoyreally weird21:45
MatBoyah I think I already know21:45
* Gargoyle loves linux tools... cacti up and running already!21:52
MatBoymaw_: stays weird21:54
MatBoyaaah !!!!21:58
Jeeves_cacti is nice, for small and easy setups22:12
Gargoyledoesn't seem to want to show me a network graph... I'll read the docs tomorrow22:21
MatBoyweird this, I can't ping my gateway but can ping other hosts that can ping the gateway :S22:22
GargoyleMatBoy: You messed up your subnet?22:24
MatBoyGargoyle: nope, I can ping other hosts in the subnet22:25
MatBoyI have the idea that it's a ubuntu-server issue with static ip's22:26
ustai did a big wrong, now using ubuntu server 8.04 but i changed my chmod settings. i did chmod -R 644 / and my system now not starting, can anyone help me pls. Thanks a lot22:26
GargoyleMatBoy: I have run ubuntu servers on static IP's for years22:27
Gargoyleusta: You would probably have to re-install the system!22:28
Gargoyleusta: I mean, you could probably reset the permissions by hand, I don't know if there is an automated method?22:29
GargoyleMatBoy: Your gateway should be like any other host. If you can ping other hosts, then you should be able to ping the gateway.22:30
MatBoyGargoyle: yes, but I have updated my box now using dhcp, itś rebooting now22:32
MatBoywith static IP again22:32
MatBoythere was an issue in iproute I thought22:32
MatBoyI have had this before 2 days ago with a new install22:32
ustaGargoyle, i have a lot of domain on my system22:32
MatBoydamn22:32
simplexioi have static ip configured and work like it should be22:34
MatBoyGargoyle: just can't ping my gateway :S22:34
GargoyleMatBoy: Pastebin the ip settings if your node and the gateway. (I assume they are all in the same switch?)22:35
MatBoyGargoyle: aha, that IP can't ping the gatway22:35
MatBoyweird !22:35
MatBoyset another IP and everyting is fine22:35
MatBoybut I want that IP :P22:35
simplexiomy best quess is user error :) i have done it many times, looking fifth time into subnet mask and then notice that it's actually wrong22:35
simplexioMatBoy: ip mask and gateway ip ?22:35
GargoyleMatBoy: Which two IP's and subnet?22:35
MatBoyI used 192.168.11.25022:36
MatBoyit worked before22:36
MatBoynowhere used22:36
simplexiomask /24 ? and gateway ip ?22:37
MatBoyrebooting my esxi machine to see if it was still in that switch maybe22:37
MatBoysimplexio: yep and gatway ip .25422:37
MatBoyI use it in a lot of places like that22:37
simplexiowell it should work..22:37
MatBoyindeed22:37
simplexioand i think there should be something in dmesg if there is another machine with same ip22:38
MatBoyI have the idea that ESXi hold it somewhere in the lun22:38
MatBoythe iscsi_mod was loading weird too22:39
ustai did a big wrong, now using ubuntu server 8.04 but i changed my chmod settings. i did chmod -R 644 / and my system now not starting, can anyone help me pls. Thanks a lot22:42
simplexiousta: reinstall, its fastest that way22:42
jmedinareally bad :S22:43
MatBoymhh22:44
MatBoymaybe the router is messed up22:44
ustasimplexio, i have data and working webserver22:44
maw_usta: have you tried to boot into fail safe mode?22:45
simplexiousta: well.. backup data, and reinstall. you can boot into into in signle user mode22:45
ustai tried maw_22:45
simplexiousta: aka add single into bootline in grub22:46
MatBoyok, router had a issue with the IP :D22:46
simplexiousta: if singe user mode dosnät work then use livecd to rescue data22:46
ustasimplexio, thanks i will try now22:47
maw_usta: this is a good example why partitioning using FHS is quite benficial ... you could probably just reinstall without losing any data22:50
simplexioFHS ?22:52
Deepsfilesystem hierarchy standard22:52
maw_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard22:54
simplexioindeed..22:54
simplexioallready open22:54
maw_heh22:54
simplexiogoogle is fast :)22:54
maw_/etc /home /var /usr /tmp ...are the important ones. If you standardise your deployments then you can add a new partition to every system that will always include your data... maybe a /data *shrug*.22:56
simplexioability to easily move home directory own harddisk was one main reason why i use linux in my main desktop nowdays22:56
maw_irc truncated my first / :|22:56
ustahow can i start ubuntu server safe mod?22:56
maw_if you have grub, I think it is F222:56
maw_spam it when the server is starting... right after POST22:57
simplexioon my computer i just press anykey until i can choose kernel and boot options22:57
simplexiohas anyone come with good disk layout for postgresql server. i mean disk layout for laxy ppl so i can use normal tablespaces ?22:58

oly562k im back23:44
oly562I believe Im slowly but surely killing my server here. can someone take a look at my pastebin, its the synaptic errors listed using the gui. trying to fix up deps and errors, seem to be making it worse. thanks!  http://www.internetworkpro.org/pastebin/919/23:45

hadsYou will get more help with CLI tools in this channel.23:48

oly562i been adding software, with apt-get install23:49
oly562thats about it23:50
oly562im a cli kinda guy23:50
oly562fire away... what do you need to know, so forth. i can follow well23:50
oly562looks like a lot of deps23:50
owholy562: There are logs in /var/log/apt*, you'll also have cli logs if you execute `history`23:50
Deepswhat was the last thing you tried to install before it all went pear shaped?23:51
oly562so my first quesiton is, by doing apt-get -f install whatever  seems to not be fixing the missing lol23:51
