[00:03] hello all [00:04] so, I am installing 8.10 server on my new MSI Wind that I want to use as a NAS with RAID 1 [00:04] does anyone have any ideas of packages or web based admin tools I could install on top of the base server so I can easily administer my new machine? [00:05] Not familiar myself but I believe ebox is the supported one. [00:11] Hi. Is /var/run/reboot-required created on servers too, or is this just a desktop thing? [00:11] (you may have seen this discussion on identi.ca) [00:12] also, is there any documentation on creating a software RAID 1 array? [00:12] I am installing ubuntu on /dev/sdc3, I want to RAID 1 /dev/sdc5 and /dev/sdc6 [00:15] New bug: #325109 in bacula (universe) "package bacula-director-pgsql 2.4.2-1ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/325109 [00:15] Probably some postinst script issue [00:17] doesn't check if postgres is running [00:18] hey everyone i could use some help [00:19] im installing the server edition in my server and when i do autoconfig on the network it cant pick it up [00:19] brianwillis1984: Usually: doesn't know what eth driver or: network not connected [00:20] ook how do i fix this [00:20] this is my first server so im new to all of this [00:23] how do i use a dchp protcol? [00:23] dhcp~ [00:27] brianwillis1984: man interfaces can be interesting reading ;) [00:36] hi guys, does anyone know what KVM does to VMs running if i shutdown the KVM machine? [00:36] ie are the VMs gracefully shutdown as if i had executed the showdown command, or is it just like pulling the plug? [00:52] Hey is a any else have some issues with vms on Virtual Box using Ubuntu 8.10 server, I network is all messed up [00:52] if I do ifconfig it displays nothing, if I do dhclient it finds a ip but doesn't on boot [01:10] just got off the phone, they will not do any adjustments to the image, or run a partition adjustment tool their end... Would serial console help at all? [01:14] on ubuntu server whats says eth0 is this nic [01:16] New bug: #323603 in openldap (main) "package libldap-2.4-2 2.4.11-0ubuntu6.1 failed to install/upgrade: package libldap-2.4-2 is not ready for configuration" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/323603 [01:32] is there a gui for mdadm? === yell0w is now known as yellow_ [05:31] I moved my disks into a new server, and now I have eth6 through eth11 instead of eth0 through eth5. [05:32] I assume this is because the MACs changed, but I can't see macs defined in /etc/network/interfaces. [05:34] OK, the problem is in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [05:45] twb: yea it's defined there [05:45] I acutally use that to remap nic's on my ids sensors to have a standard setup [05:46] I understand the need for the file, I just couldn't find it at first. [05:48] ahh [05:48] twb: sorry if I was paying attention I would have said that before [05:48] np [05:48] In RHEL it's in an even stupider place [05:56] twb: that is why I stay away from RH [05:57] though udev/rules.d is a pretty standard place [05:58] squidly: /etc/sysconfig/networking/ifcfg-ethN [05:58] or some such [05:59] twb: wtf.. you serious? [05:59] wow [05:59] that makes me so glad that I dont ever use RHEL [05:59] I use ubuntu and debian for my servers [07:03] I cannot receive mail. getting the error "poststfix/pipe[8484]: fatal: get_service_attr: unknown username: vmail" where vmail is a val;id user and group, the pipe service is not duplicated or chrooted, and postfix check gives me nothing. What in the world could this be? [07:40] Hi, I managed to delete a user still running irssi in screen, the user has been deleted but screen is still running. How can i stop it? [07:42] <_ruben> lookup the process id using ps or top, sudo kill [07:43] When I do ps -U username it says that user doesnt exist :p [07:43] <_ruben> then look for a numeric username in the complete ps output [07:43] ok, so whats the command for that? [07:44] <_ruben> ps ax for example [07:45] <_ruben> ps aux i mean [07:46] <_ruben> ps uxa | egrep '^[0-9]' [07:46] thanks :) [07:51] It worked. [08:24] moin [08:30] hey, anyone know if there are issues with running apparmor in ubuntu hardy server in a xen guest virtual machine? I seem to remember something like that. [08:46] Hello, I cant seem to get fluxbox to launch from my ubuntu server command line [08:47] how can i fix this? [08:47] UndertakerX2: what's in your ~/.xinitrc ? [08:49] quick question before that, is there a copy and paste function in server? [08:50] and it denies me permsiion to that folder [08:51] UndertakerX2: if you're are using ssh + a terminal emulator to access the server, then yes, you can copy and paste [08:52] UndertakerX2: if you're using a straight console, then you can install and use pastebinit [08:52] im just running the terminal from vmware [08:52] "the terminal from vmware" most likely counts as a terminal emulator, but I'm sure you can also connect via ssh [08:53] more importantly: no, you were not denied permission to that folder [08:54] :s thats what it said [08:54] exactly what did it say? [08:55] err sorry missed part of the line, getting tired :p it gave me -bash: /home/xplorer4x4/.xinitrc: permision denied [08:57] UndertakerX2: can you pastebin the output of the following commands? [08:57] 1) whoami [08:57] 2) ls -lh ~ [08:58] not much to paste bitn, 1: xplorer4x4 2:total o [09:02] UndertakerX2: that is most certainly not the output of either of those commands [09:03] no i just made it up [09:03] be happy to provide a screen to proove it [09:03] UndertakerX2: you did indeed [09:04] UndertakerX2: I don't see how two commands could result in one line of output that doesn't match the data type for either [09:04] UndertakerX2: but, please, give me that screenshot :) [09:04] http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/7738/89862382dk0.jpg [09:06] see? [09:07] i wouldnt waste my time or yours to come in here to make stuff up [09:10] UndertakerX2: numbering the lines instead of pastebinning was confusing, as it made it look like the output was messed up [09:10] sorry i just saw you say that [09:11] my apoligies [09:11] UndertakerX2: in any case, what is the output of: touch ~/.xinitrc [09:12] it did nothing, just took me back to the same comand prompt as before [09:12] good, now what is the output of: ls -lh ~ [09:13] total 0 [09:13] sorry, no, try this: ls -lha ~ [09:15] http://img5.imageshack.us/my.php?image=50772871bt8.jpg [09:17] UndertakerX2: okay, looks good, now run: nano .xinitrc [09:17] and feel free to pastebin it rather than provide a screenshot [09:18] sorry, i would but im in vmware player and it wont allow me to copy and paste [09:19] if you like to help me get set up with shh after this ill be more then happy to pastebin for ya in the future :p [09:19] http://img11.imageshack.us/my.php?image=27851322od0.jpg [09:19] UndertakerX2: most terminal emulators allow you to copy by highlighting, and paste by middle-clicking [09:20] okay, put a new line before the current one [09:20] it should read: !#/bin/sh [09:21] middle click doesnt work :( [09:21] ok got that line in there [09:21] save it, exit, and then type at the command line: startx [09:22] oops [09:22] that should be #!/bin/sh [09:23] ok corrected, now how do i save? :$ [09:23] the ^ means "ctrl" -- hit it in combination with the keys indicated in the menu [09:25] so F2? [09:25] are you going to save nano file? [09:25] then ctrl+x [09:26] y for yes [09:26] yeah it says F2 or ctrl+x [09:26] then you chose :) [09:28] ok hold on i got an error on startx [09:29] http://img502.imageshack.us/my.php?image=60441645fv1.jpg [09:29] thanks to both of you so helping so far :) [09:32] UndertakerX2: looks like X isn't actually fully installed [09:32] UndertakerX2: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg [09:34] ok installing now, then startx? [09:34] yep [09:35] startx [09:35] wrong window [09:35] lol yep :p [09:35] :p [09:35] happens to everyone eventually :) [09:37] yup [09:37] hmm doesnt seem to want to fully load, i have a blue background, with a dark blue bar at bottom with a clock on it [09:37] that's fluxbox [09:37] right-click your mouse/touchpad for the menu [09:38] oh i thought there was more to it, but new problem, my mouse wont work [09:38] cant move or click [09:39] probably something to do with vmware [09:39] i had a feeling youd say that [09:39] try restarting the virtual machine [09:39] well, if your mouse is working fine except for inside vmware... [09:40] anyway, I have to go to sleep; I will do my best to answer questions that highlight my nick [09:40] vmwares being very problematic as i have to use vmware player to acutally load ubuntu rather then vmware workstation [09:40] good night :) [09:40] thanks [09:41] mouse still doesnt work [09:42] but yeah its 4 am so i suppose i will deal with that tommorow [09:42] larswey, thanks again [09:42] you have the new version of vmware? [09:42] with that stupid webui? [09:42] p_quarles: thanks [09:42] webui? [09:42] no problem :) [09:43] the new version runs a webserver, everything is done with a browser [09:43] no I have workstation 6.5.1 [09:43] ahh, ok [09:43] is that a better version to run? [09:43] i was thinking of vmware server [09:43] no, its horrid :) [09:43] doesnt support Opera.. [09:43] guess thats why its free eh? :p [09:44] hehe, yeah [09:44] was amde free* [09:44] but the old version was better [09:44] also free [09:44] oh i thought they used to charge for server? [09:46] no, that has always been free [09:47] hmm i swore they used to charge but oh well [09:47] hehe, good night :) [09:47] but yeah its 4 am gotta sleep sooner or later, thanks again, night [09:48] I want to backup the installed packages list and all the configuration and customization of my server. [09:48] I've read that I need to backup /etc /root /var/cache/bind /var/lib/dpkg /var/backups /var/www /usr/local [09:49] Yes? [09:49] will there be sensitive data in thouse files? [09:49] like passwords and stuff [09:50] doubt it [09:50] unless you put it there yourself [09:50] do you an example where passwords are stored [09:50] nano the files and see for yourself [09:51] because I want to share my server configuration with someone without exposing it to a security risk [09:51] ls and see if theres anything suspicious [09:52] sound unsecure to me... [09:52] thanks [10:10] /etc/shadow has all system passwords.. someone can attleast run dictionary attacks on them [10:21] simplexio: is there a safe way I can exclude sensitive data and save only config data? [10:24] Davedan: just remove /etc/passwd shadown , groups, shadow- from backups if you dont have anyother programs that save passwords [10:24] Davedan: example i think hat samba saves attleast users somewhere [10:26] simplexio: it has to be 100% safe. If ubuntu has a standard place to save sensitive data it is excellent. If usernames, passwords, IP... are spreaded all over the file system I can't take that risk [10:28] Then use an opt in method rather than opt out. [10:30] Davedan: all unix logins are in those shadown and passwd and groups files, i dont know what programs you have installed [10:57] Koon: Do you have an example of a source package that uses ant to build? tomcat? [10:58] tomcat6 uses ant... also most of the libcommons-*-java stuff does (through CDBS) [10:59] couldn't use the cdbs helpers for tomcat6 though [10:59] Koon: Cool, thanks. [10:59] how to i can config squid 2.7 for a proxy server in a web server ? please help me :-s [11:05] Koon: Ok, that didn't help, apparantly. I have a package here that doesn't obey $DESTDIR and was hoping I could work that out from another package, but I can't seem to spot how it's implemented when using ant? [11:09] Koon: I chose libcommons-net-java (at random), but it seems to not use ant to do the install bit. [11:09] That explains. [11:10] soren > ever tried solaris on kvm? [11:21] soren: in most cases I would say you won't find "ant install" run [11:21] more an "ant package" thing that will produce a built/foo.jar file that you would list in your install.THING file [11:22] not sure what your problem is... let me come and see you [11:51] Hi! Any nginx-experts around? I can't get it to gzip any content, altough I have "gzip on;" in nginx.conf [12:20] piquadrat: I doubt you'll find much help here. AFAIK, we don't even ship nginx, so I think you'd be better helped in another channel. Probably an nginx specific one. [12:24] soren: Ubuntu has nginx in its repositories (0.5.33 in hardy, 0.6.32 in intrepid). I already asked on #nginx, and the one person that was there confirmed that my configuration should be OK. That's why I suspect that there could be a problem with Ubuntu's nginx package [12:29] piquadrat: Compiling nginx yourself would be a straightforward way to clarify this [12:29] maxb: I'm already on it :) [12:51] piquadrat: Oh, you're right. I can't spell, apparantly. [13:29] I have vague memories of a way to find out which process that is using a specific file (or in this case a mounted file system). anyone who knows what I'm referring to? [13:30] ah, now I remember! lsof :D [14:00] hello, short issue installing ubuntu 8.04.2 server on an Fujitsu Siemens Primergy server.. [14:01] there is a RAID card in there, which is recognized, partitioning works ok, but grub doesn't want to install the boot loader [14:01] hi folks, i need a server that can capture 2 adsl connections, on two eth different eth cards, and share the connection with load ballance trough a third one. The main issue is that i need to set a vpn tunnel to a pptp vpn micro$oft server, and allow all the netowork to use this tunnel. Is there a case study for this kind of use of ubuntu server as a router/firewall? [14:07] hm... [14:07] alex_joni: what raid card is that? [14:07] http://eneas.juve.ro/~juve/primergy/ [14:08] Mylex Corporation AcceleRAID 352/170/160 support Device [1069:0050] [14:10] how many disks do you have? [14:10] a lot, right? [14:10] 10 x 32G [14:11] mylex! smells like history! [14:11] is that a hardware raid? [14:11] ivoks: one thing I thought about doing is getting a small IDE drive, and use that as boot.. but it would be nice if I could make it work [14:11] wooo, 32G drives too [14:12] ivoks: yup.. big PCI 64bit card [14:12] domas: U320 SCSI though, not _that_ old [14:12] I guess it's 36G not 32.. [14:12] so, you created two partitions? [14:13] swap and /? [14:13] 3.. /boot / and swap [14:13] I tried initially to let it use the auto partitioner [14:13] (that did a similar thing, but grub failed to install) [14:14] hm... very odd: [14:14] then I booted the server disk in rescue mode, and tried to install grub [14:14] Error running 'tune2fs -l /dev/rd/c0d0' [14:14] then run various incantations of grub-install [14:14] why would it run tune2fs on disk anyway? [14:14] c0d0 is the RAID volume [14:14] but, that's a disk [14:14] tune2fs is for partitions [14:14] I think.. (didn't use funny letters before ;) [14:15] only software raid so far on regular i386 hardware [14:15] cannot open /dev/rd/c0d0p3: No such file or directory [14:16] 10 disks in raid0? [14:17] you just want to loose your data, right? [14:17] lose [14:17] or whatever [14:18] lose [14:18] :) [14:20] i can't figure out why grub failed [14:21] ivoks: I only just joined the conversation, but stuff might call "tune2fs -l" on a disk to make sure there's not already a filesystem on it before it starts to partition it.. [14:21] Could that explain it in this context? [14:21] * soren is too bored to read all of the scrollback :) [14:21] soren: that could be it [14:21] Is this in the installer, perhaps? [14:21] since this happend 2 seconds after 'Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... [14:21] ' [14:22] EXT3 FS on rd/c0d0p3, internal journal [14:22] EXT3 FS on rd/c0d0p1, internal journal [14:22] Ok. I don't know if that's the reason (I would actually expect it to use udev for that), but it's a possible explanation. [14:22] and p2 is swap [14:22] is it possible to mount an NFS share as any other than root in 8.10? [14:23] frippz: No. [14:23] alex_joni: have you tried with lilo? [14:24] does anyone know of a good tutorial to make a bootable USB drive from an iso image? I need to install ubuntu-server, I have tried UNetbootin, but it isn't working (my machine isn't booting from it...) [14:24] great... Linksys NSS4000 uses root_squash so I can't mount anything on that brick now [14:24] dtcrshr: i don't see how you load balance two adsl connections [14:25] dtcrshr: you get an IP for each connection, you don't decide which IP on which interface, your ISP does that [14:26] so, you can't bond them [14:27] ivoks: lilo does the same thing [14:28] ivoks: You can do load balancing without bonding, though. [14:28] ivoks: with lilo I can specify the installation target [14:29] soren: qos, yes, but i think that dtcrshr wants to load balance VPN tunnel [14:29] but neither /dev/rd nor /dev/rd/c0d0 nor /dev/rd/c0d0p1 work [14:29] alex_joni: and what c0d0 should work, hm... [14:29] lol [14:29] alex_joni: make that 'c0d0 should work' [14:30] alex_joni: did you create empty partition table on disks? [14:30] ivoks: The path /dev/rd/c0d0 does not represent a partition or hard disk device. Please try again. [14:30] ivoks: empty partition table? not that I know.. [14:31] alex_joni: hm... [14:31] ivoks: Well, in that case you can get two vpn connections to the vpn server and bond those on both client and server. [14:31] ivoks: I would /never/ do anything like that, but it's certainly possible :) [14:32] /dev/rd... [14:33] alex_joni: i'm clueless [14:35] ivoks: I selected continue without a bootloader [14:36] and it tells me "to boot manually with the /vmlinuz kernel on partition /dev/rd/c0d0p3 and root=/dev/rd/c0d0p3 passed as a kernel argument." [14:36] does /vmlinuz on /dev/rd/c0d0p3 look ok? shouldn't it come from /boot (c0d0p1) ? [14:36] it should, yes [14:37] maybe it tries the same thing with lilo/grub and that fails [14:37] (I don't see an actual error from grub) [14:38] try with just / and swap [14:38] wihtout /boot [14:38] create swap as p1 and / as p2 [14:40] trying now [14:40] will take a while.. a fresh boot takes about 2 minutes :D [14:43] heh [14:43] i386 only detects 4G of ram, should I try x86_64 maybe? [14:45] a hard boot takes way longer [14:55] do you know what the syntax is to boot from HDD via the install cd [14:55] ? [14:56] [ivoks]: actually, im doing that with a linux router box, and the load balance works just fine [14:57] the issue is that i need a pptpclient on the box, to fetch a tunnel on our vpn [14:57] and the box isnt too friendly to new addons [14:57] i just wondered if i started a ubuntu server configuration, ill be able to do what i want. My biggest problem its time [15:01] hello all, I have used the create a USB Startup disk to hopefully boot from a USB drive [15:02] ivoks: no luck with swap and / either [15:02] :/ [15:03] any idea how to boot from the install cd? [15:03] I mean what boot params to pass to it.. [15:07] i386 linux detect 16GB or RAM [15:08] but you should use 64bit OS on 64bit CPU [15:08] ivoks: should.. I have 8G in this box, but I saw only 4G in the logs [15:08] that's installer kernel [15:08] once you boot it, you should see all 64 [15:08] er... 8 [15:08] :) [15:14] Is there anything special that needs to be done for Vista clients to work with dhcpd in intrepid? [15:15] nope [15:23] I'm having trouble with the clients getting leases. I can see in syslog it tries to send out the dhcpdiscover packet to the clients, but it doesn't show up on the vista machines. [15:24] I have the broadcast address specified, and the always-broadcast flag on. I'm just not sure what else to do [15:25] I have linux thin clients that work fine, as well as XP machines. [15:46] when using apt-mirror, i only get the hardware arch of my current platform, I would like to get both 32bit and 64bit arch's [15:56] anyone have any idea why my system won't boot from the usb drive? [15:56] New bug: #325193 in mysql-dfsg-5.1 (universe) "can not upgrade mysqld (jaunty)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/325193 [16:00] why is installing vmware server so difficult [16:01] * crazygir wonders if he should be doing something differently [16:01] luckyone: Some systems just on't boot from USB.

[17:07] thank you [17:10] apparently some packages want to install mysql-server even though it's not needed (since we have a dedicated mysql server) [17:10] is there any proper way to resolve this without having to install mysql-server? [17:10] none of the packages I've seen require the actual libs that come with the server packages [17:11] also, are there commands to manage the .dpkg-new files ?

[19:31] luckyone: I don't know what that means [19:32] p_quarles: I am not getting any DHCPOFFERS [19:32] luckyone: pastebin the output from the dialogue [19:33] hard to do - I am terminal only on the machine with no eth0 [19:33] rebooting now, going to see if that fixes it [19:33] !info pastebinit | luckyone [19:33] pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.10-1 (intrepid), package size 9 kB, installed size 88 kB [19:54] i'm having trouble installing on ubuntu server http://pastie.org/379766 [19:59] is there a way i can configure mysql server from the command line? i am scripting its installation so i cant be there to use the ui? (specifically the set a root password screen)? [19:59] kansan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server may be what you're looking for [20:00] err sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 [20:00] what about the latter question? [20:01] you can script sql statements with mysql -u user -ppassword database -e "sql_statements" [20:01] not sure if that's exactly what you want though [20:02] i want to to script installation of mysql-server as i cant be there to type in a root password [20:05] kansan: you might be able to use kickstart or preseed for that [20:05] hats that [20:06] /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mysql-server-5.0 is broken or not fully installed [20:06] why is it so hard to get mysql-server installed ;p? [20:07] how did you install it? sudo apt-get install mysql-server ? was there any error messages? [20:28] kansan: This installs mysql-server without a prompt and without a root password: [20:28] export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive [20:28] sudo apt-get install -y mysql-server [20:28] kansan: You can then script setting the root password. [20:31] Or as one line: sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y mysql-server [20:31] I'm installing a package with apt-get install. If this package has config files, can I find out where these files are using a script? [20:32] Davedan: You might check out the "apt-file" package and command. [20:33] Hmm, isn't apt-file for finding out about packages you *don't* have installed? [20:34] or perhaps "dpkg -L" [20:34] Davedan: dpkg -L packagename will list all files (config and not) contained in the package [20:34] maxb: how can I filter out only the config files? [20:35] Davedan: Who's to say what files can be labeled "config" and which are "data" or "programs" or "other" :) [20:35] Well, "those that are in /etc/" is a good start [20:35] I'll explain what I'm trying to do [20:36] I'm following a post on lifehacker that explain how to save the list of installed packages on ubuntu [20:36] I want to save the config files as well so I can reinstall my ubuntu server [20:36]
