I've compiled a custom kernel (2.6.28.2) on U8.10, applied the apparmor patches in order, but Apparmor is not loading. Can anybody give me some advice? [10:27] hi , i did just enabled ipv6, but it seems that any site which allow to test if i am in ipv6 dont reconise me as connected via ipv6, could this be dues to the fact that ia m running iptables? [10:29] orogor: no. ipv6 uses ip6tables [10:30] Nafallo, i can t fiond such package [10:31] orogor: it's not a package. it's a binary. [10:31] huh ? [10:31] which ip6tables [10:31] returns nothing [10:31] not all binaries have their own packages. [10:32] have you got the package iptables installed? [10:32] yes [10:33] then you should have /sbin/ip6tables [10:34] haa, sorry [10:34] i typed which ip6table [10:34] forgot thes [10:34] forgot the s [10:35] inet6 addr: fe80::20c:76ff:fe4f:13e6/64 [10:36] got an ipv6 adress with an fai with ipv6 support and no test site see me as a v6 host [10:37] hoo, the ruleset for ip6table is different than iptables [11:02] Hi guys, i've got an problemm with my SSH connection with my server, i connect with the command "ssh " is this right ? [11:09] Tumie: That sounds about right. You might also have to specify username if that differs from the host your connection from. [11:18] andol: it is the same [11:18] i'm not logged in on the server, is that a problem maybe ? [11:24] Tumie: What is happening, and what do you expect to happen? [11:25] I want to connect with my Server (that has Ubuntu Server 8.10 on it),, from my desktop (Ubuntu Desktop 8.10) in the terminal.. [11:25] i only started the server up,, so i'm not logged in at the server itself.. [11:27] Yes, but what is the respons you get when you run the command: "ssh ip-number" from your desktop computer? [11:30] WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! [11:30] and some other text [11:30] IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY! [11:32] Tumie: Reinstalled it rescently? Have you using ssh to connect to it before the reinstall? [11:33] I reinstalled the whole server yesterday [11:33] Tumie: That explains it :) [11:33] what to do about it ? (and reinstalling doesn't get rid of all the old files :O ) [11:34] Tumie: When the server got reinstalled it also got new sshd-crypto-keys. That is why your desktop computer warns you, since it's a "new" computer on the old ip adress. [11:34] Tumie: It should be ok to remove the offending line from your ~/.ssh/known_hosts [11:35] their are 3 lines at that file.. [11:35] all highly coded [11:36] i deleted all lines [11:36] it is working now :D [11:36] thanks :D [11:37] you'r welcome [11:37] hmmm.. webmin doesn't work,, yesterday it worked..

[12:42] jpds, i already know, that is the reason i want to delete it :) [12:44] ehrm. I'm annoying cause I'm saying that I'm not aware of a way to completely revert what failmin have done... oh well. sometimes the truth can be annoying, that shouldn't kill the messenger. [12:49] Nafallo, your answer was anything but helpful. [12:50] if we go back in time, it would've been a great suggestion, but unfortunately.. we can't [12:51] oh well. I'm stepping down from this discussion. I've already made my opinion clear, and that is that you can't revert webmin in any sane way. [12:52] sorry if that isn't considered helpful enough. [12:53] "by not installing it in the first place" is what i can see... nothing about simply saying it cannot be done in a sane way. [12:53] but.. your welcome. [12:53] logically that relates to the point I was trying to make :-) [12:54] yes, in a sarcastic way.. it wasn't really needed. [12:55] wasn't mean in such a way, but text on IRC gets easily missinterpreted. [12:55] nevermind now though. [12:55] agreed :-) [12:57] hi all, i need to setup a 8.04 lts server. how can i ensure to install/use only packages with support until 2013? [12:57] use only main repository [12:58] ivoks: i think in main are the desktop packages too. they are only supported until 2011 [12:58] mc68040: don't use X librariers and you are fine [12:59] mc68040: basicaly, packages in main which don't require desktop, are supported for 5 years [13:00] does anyone know is it possible to mirror ports.ubuntu.com over rsync? [13:01] ivoks: ok, i assume thats true for hardy-security and hardy-updates too? [13:02] mc68040: well, only hardy-security and hardy-updates get changes [13:02] mc68040: no new packages are released in 'default' repository [13:03] ivoks: ups, you are right, i should think a bit before [13:06] ivoks: tried rsync ports.ubuntu.com:: ? [13:06] Nafallo: i figured it out :) [13:06] 14:04 < ivoks> bah, just ignore me :) [13:06] :-) [13:06] on #ubuntu-mirrors [13:06] oh. [13:06] damn cross-talker :-P [13:06] :) [13:09] ivoks: i would prefer a better way to ensure to use only packages with support until 2013, but thx for your help [13:09] mc68040: afaik, there's no better way [13:09] i guess adding aditional filed to debian/control could help [13:10] lol, had just the same idea :-) [13:11] or to split hardy into hardy-server and hardy-desktop... [13:11] and where would you put bash? [13:11] or udev, upstart, or... :) [13:12] in both of course [13:13] so, bash, supported for 5 years would be in hardy-desktop [13:13] but hardy-desktop is supported for 3 years [13:13] er...? :) [13:14] why not, nobody says that support on desktop must end 2011 [13:14] well, it won't be that bad.. [13:14] it ends in 2011 [13:14] but in 2011 hardy-desktop could be removed [13:14] and that's it [13:15] but hardy-desktop-updates doesn't sound quite good [13:16] hmmm, so dont split but setup an additional hardy-server, hardy-server-updates and hardy-server-security? [13:18] that's not that easy as it sounds [13:19] Nafallo, got ipv6 fully working , only issue seems to be that ip6tables on ubuntu doesn t like ulog [13:20] ivoks: why not? building Pacckage files from special package lists shouldnt be so difficult [13:20] mc68040: you are talking with a wrong person [13:21] mc68040: you should raise this quetions on ubuntu-server mailing list [13:21] i don't decide how archives are going to be organized; i just mirror them :D [13:21] i think ill do :-) [13:21] mc68040: for political point of view [13:22] canonical isn't the only company providing support for ubuntu [13:22] so, enforcing one companys 'rules' on ubuntu's archives doesn't sound quite fair [13:22] having additional filed in debian/control sounds much better [13:23] X-Supported by: Canonical 5 years, XYZ 10 years [13:23] or something like that [13:23] not that i have something against canonical :D [13:24] orogor: kewl [13:24] hmmm, i think we want the same - even other companys will have an advantage if they could distinct the packages [13:25] for example, i watch over hylafax, since lots of my clients use it [13:25] it isn't supported by canonical [13:25] but my clients get regullar fixes, since that's software they really care about [13:27] you are right, there will always be packages that wont be supported by canonical [13:27] if we could achive that interested groups maintain package, a not core-dev and motus, then, i think, we could achive better quality of packages and even could set up 'supported' queues [13:27] s/ a / and / [13:28] whith core-dev having fully access to everything [13:28] i just dont want to minimize work, why should i watch a package if its still supported by someone else? [13:28] and motu to all stuf universe [13:29] lol -"dont" [13:29] you may have interest in pushing some changes [13:30] yes, thats what i want [13:30] common good is mixed of all individual interest [13:30] if that's correct word in english :) [13:30] but i need a solid, well supported base which i dont want to take care of [13:31] mc68040: 14:28 < ivoks> whith core-dev having fully access to everything [13:31] with [13:31] launch time... take care [13:31] ok, bye [14:02] i have install a software (.pl) from terminal, and this software has it own services running.

[22:49] yes [22:49] hmm... i know how to do it with iptables [22:49] well its essentially the same thing [22:49] ufw is an abstraction layer on top of iptables [22:49] ah, so you know [22:50] yeah, i've read the wiki pages, just can't get a straightforward example for a port forward [22:50] basically i think i need to -A ufw-before-forward ...

[22:52] or more exactly, what is DNAT [22:53] is that something built into netfilter/iptables, or is it something you have to write [22:53] it's a NAT related target [22:53] you'd also need to specify '-t nat' if operating from the command line, rather than in the :nat context already from the iptables-save output [22:53] ah yes, right Deeeps i just used the iptables-save output [22:54] DNAT - Destination NAT, port forwarding essentially [22:54] redirects packets that match the previously given rules to the new target [22:54] Deeeps: but thats not a another chain, its builtin, right? [22:54] yep [22:54] PREROUTING? yes [22:54] ok lets see [22:54] (DNAT too) [22:55] the wiki page says that i should add the rules for forwarding to ufw-before-forward [22:55] i guess thats it's version of PREROUTING [22:55] ah, you need an explaination of how this whole mess works [22:55] gimme a sec.
