| genii | Asked this in ##linux already but no takers, maybe on the offchance someone here knows: Any way to execute(not redirect it's output) an app on a different tty/pty ? Something like: echo -e "ls -l\r" doesn't work. Also noticed if you use for instance \010 and then hit Enter on the other terminal, it does not register as a command either. Some way to stuff the keypress buffer perhaps of another tty? | 01:05 |

| ziroday | Hi, anyone familiar with snort? I can't work out how I am meant to include all the rule sets | 03:17 |
| ropetin | ziroday: are they in the rules path? | 03:20 |
| ropetin | If so, just put an include statement in the snort.conf file for each rule you want to include | 03:20 |
| ziroday | ropetin: no, do I have to list each rule manually or can I do include $RULE_PATH/community* ? | 03:21 |
| ropetin | I /believe/ you have to list each one manually, which is how I do it and it works | 03:21 |
| ropetin | I don't 100% know though | 03:21 |
| ziroday | ropetin: urgh, okay thanks! | 03:22 |
| ropetin | NP! | 03:22 |
| ziroday | ropetin: well I tried the /community-* and that didn't work | 03:22 |
| ziroday | so time to go write out a bunch of include lines | 03:22 |
| ropetin | :D | 03:22 |
| UndertakerX2 | i cant seem to access phpmyadmin | 03:25 |
| UndertakerX2 | even though it is installed and configuered for apache 2 | 03:26 |
| ziroday | UndertakerX2: permissions? | 03:26 |
| UndertakerX2 | not sure but its not showing up in var/www/ at all | 03:27 |
| ziroday | UndertakerX2: err where did you save the phpmyadmin file then? | 03:27 |
| UndertakerX2 | I have no idea, i did sudo apt-get phpmyadmin, it asked me if it was apache2,apache,something else and light | 03:28 |
| ziroday | UndertakerX2: okay | 03:28 |
| UndertakerX2 | i chose apache 2, and it said it was done | 03:28 |
| ziroday | UndertakerX2: and going to http://myhost/phpmyadmin doesn't work? | 03:28 |
| UndertakerX2 | nope | 03:28 |
| ziroday | UndertakerX2: sorry, only ever install phpmyadmin manually | 03:29 |
| UndertakerX2 | by downloading the php files? | 03:30 |
| ziroday | UndertakerX2: yep | 03:30 |
| ropetin | UndertakerX2: apparently you have to add something to the apache config file to make it work; | 03:31 |
| ropetin | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin | 03:31 |
| ropetin | Canonical have some good help documents | 03:31 |
| UndertakerX2 | oh ok i found another tut but didnt mention the apahce config edit | 03:32 |
| UndertakerX2 | thanks very much to both of you | 03:32 |
| UndertakerX2 | all though i would have though selecting apache 2 should have doen that for me, double checking now | 03:33 |
| UndertakerX2 | can i add that line nay where in apache.conf? | 03:35 |
| ropetin | Looking at it, that appears to be for apache. You have Apache2, right? | 03:36 |
| UndertakerX2 | yes | 03:36 |
| UndertakerX2 | that code worked all the same, thanks again ropetin | 03:41 |
| ropetin | NP! | 03:44 |
| UndertakerX2 | ropetin: maybe you can help me with another roadblock? I am running ubuntu in wmare as guest on my xp machine(wired) however I have a laptop on my lan running win 7(wirless) and cant seem to access my server. Any ideas? | 03:51 |
| UndertakerX2 | the xp machine can access the server | 03:52 |
| ropetin | routing issue? Are they all on the same subnet? Firewall issue? | 03:53 |
| UndertakerX2 | subnet, yes. As ofr firewall i run comodo pro in xp, and when it detects new netowrks it has an option to enable access from other pcs on the network. I check marked this if memorey servers me right. | 03:54 |
| UndertakerX2 | hmm then again i do have a firewall in my router. | 03:55 |
| ropetin | Can you at least ping the server? | 03:56 |
| UndertakerX2 | maybe thats the culprit? | 03:56 |
| ropetin | Could be | 03:56 |
| UndertakerX2 | havent tried | 03:56 |
| ropetin | Go for it | 03:56 |
| UndertakerX2 | k | 03:56 |
| UndertakerX2 | request timed out when i pinf from win 7 | 03:58 |
| UndertakerX2 | ping* | 03:58 |
| ropetin | OK, so try disabling the firewall and try again | 04:00 |
| UndertakerX2 | software firewall off and it gave me ping time out again | 04:01 |
| ropetin | What are the two IPs? | 04:01 |
| UndertakerX2 | 2 ips? which 2? :S | 04:02 |
| UndertakerX2 | obviously the server ip.. | 04:02 |
| UndertakerX2 | and? | 04:02 |
| UndertakerX2 | oh the 2 ips ubuntu gives me? | 04:03 |
| ropetin | The server IP and the one you're trying to connect from | 04:05 |
| UndertakerX2 | server = http://192.168.56.132/ | 04:06 |
| UndertakerX2 | ip from notebook=192.168.1.3 | 04:08 |
| ropetin | And what netmask do they have assigned? | 04:10 |
| UndertakerX2 | 255.0.0.0 on server | 04:11 |
| UndertakerX2 | notbook = 255.255.255.0 | 04:11 |
| UndertakerX2 | guest the subnet is diffrent :p | 04:12 |
| ropetin | Yup yup | 04:12 |
| UndertakerX2 | err wait | 04:12 |
| UndertakerX2 | eth0 has the same subnet bu lo has 255.0.0.0 | 04:13 |
| ropetin | Which is fine | 04:13 |
| ropetin | You mean both have 255.255.255.0? | 04:13 |
| ropetin | If so, the two won't be able to talk to each other | 04:13 |
| UndertakerX2 | the server and win7 yes | 04:14 |
| UndertakerX2 | ohh? | 04:14 |
| UndertakerX2 | but how come my xp machine can access it? | 04:15 |
| UndertakerX2 | it has the same mask? | 04:15 |
| ropetin | You're using VMWare correct? It installs one or more 'fake' network adapters to communicate with the VMs, depending on how you have the virtual NICs configured | 04:15 |
| UndertakerX2 | yeah it has 2 installed | 04:16 |
| ropetin | And one of those will have the same subnet configured as teh server, even if the physical NIC is different | 04:16 |
| UndertakerX2 | oh? ok so how do i proceed? | 04:17 |
| ropetin | You could change the networking configuration of VMWare to use bridged mode, but this is REALLY beyond ubuntu-server support, I'd refer you to the VMWare documentation and their support | 04:18 |
| UndertakerX2 | that works, i have soemthing i gotta do anyways :p your a life saver though, thanks for taking an hour or so to help a noob, your help is more apreciated then you know! | 04:19 |
| ropetin | NP! | 04:20 |
| roy_hobbs | Is there some sort of repository server or cache to facilitate updating many clients on a local network? | 05:05 |
| roy_hobbs | Slightly related, the Ubuntu server guide is great, but has anyone seen anything similar about managing desktops on a network (other than the authentication section) topics such as options for where to store system files (network or local) and where to store user files... | 05:07 |
| ropetin | On the first question, apt-mirror might hel | 05:07 |
| ropetin | p | 05:07 |
| hads | Check out apt-cacher-ng | 05:07 |
| roy_hobbs | thank you | 05:08 |
| hads | There's also apt-cacher, apt-proxy, apt-something-else-which-i-forget but apt-cacher-ng has served me the best so far. | 05:08 |
| roy_hobbs | what does the ng stand for? | 05:11 |

| Hellsheep | Hey, how do i transfer a file from a windows machine onto a Ubuntu server? | 10:11 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | i'd recomend ssh, try samba if you need 'integration' with 'doze though | 10:13 |
| Hellsheep | i have samba and ssh installed | 10:13 |
| Hellsheep | But i dont know how to use samba | 10:13 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | neither. | 10:16 |
| Hellsheep | Do you know how to use SSH to do it? | 10:16 |
| ziroday | Hellsheep: using scp | 10:17 |
| Hellsheep | Thanks | 10:18 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | Hellsheep, or since its a doze box, try 'WinSCP' | 10:21 |
| Hellsheep | Would this work: | 10:24 |
| Hellsheep | scp -r /pathtofolder/ name@host:/targethetfolder/ | 10:24 |
| Hellsheep | Sry | 10:25 |
| Hellsheep | This one: scp -r C:/vent.tar.gz hellsheep@Icarus:/vent | 10:25 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | try it and see. unless you've installed ssh/scp specially it wont work though | 10:25 |
| Hellsheep | I have SSH | 10:26 |
| Hellsheep | not sure about scp | 10:26 |
| Hellsheep | ill try it | 10:26 |
| Hellsheep | ssh: C: Name or service not known | 10:26 |
| Hellsheep | What does that mean? O_O | 10:29 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | I guess it sees : in the file name, and assumes that the bit in front ( C ) is a hostname | 10:30 |
| Hellsheep | Oh | 10:31 |
| Hellsheep | Hmmm | 10:31 |
| Hellsheep | I wonder how to tell it to find the file then | 10:31 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | no idea how ssh/scp CLI tools work on windows | 10:33 |
| * Kamping_Kaiser has only used winscp for it | 10:33 | |
| Hellsheep | This is soo annoying | 10:36 |
| Hellsheep | How long will it take me to setup WinSCP | 10:40 |
| Hellsheep | to get this damn file transfered | 10:40 |
| Hellsheep | i dont want to spend 10 hours trying to transfer a single file to my server | 10:40 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | 2 mintutes to download the 'run anyware' exe, and then double click | 10:42 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | ok | 10:42 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | er, sorry. ok not for you :S | 10:42 |
| Hellsheep | ? | 10:42 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | i was saying ok to someone else | 10:43 |
| Hellsheep | kk | 10:43 |
| Hellsheep | Who knew transferring a file would be so difficult =P | 10:43 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | not me :p | 10:44 |
| Hellsheep | i thought it'd be like | 10:44 |
| Hellsheep | "Click a button or two and look the file is copied! YEY" | 10:44 |
| quizme_ | hellsheep: switch to linux | 10:45 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | quizme_, beat me to it ;) | 10:45 |
| Hellsheep | Wish i could | 10:45 |
| quizme_ | kamping_kaiser: lol | 10:45 |
| Hellsheep | When i get my new computer | 10:45 |
| Hellsheep | it'll have Ubuntu x64 on it | 10:46 |
| Hellsheep | I hate windows | 10:46 |
| Hellsheep | Don't even get me started on Internet Explorer. | 10:46 |
| Hellsheep | Microsoft = fail | 10:46 |

| dou213 | hi guys, i'm using ubuntu server and i wonder, a lot of programs, so i've read, provide a web interface for administration or else, can i use this kind of apps, e.g. Mailman, in server edition too (no X-Server) ? | 22:05 |
| centaur5 | dou213: You might want to look into ebox for web administration. | 22:08 |
| dou213 | centaur5, yes i've heard about ebox, it also provides a graphical interface or not? | 22:09 |
| dou213 | centaur5, and can i use it with server edition even if no X? | 22:09 |
| centaur5 | dou213: Yes, ebox works without X. | 22:13 |
| dou213 | ok thx centaur5 | 22:14 |
| centaur5 | no prob | 22:14 |
| Alysum | hi - I would like some advice on whether I should use 8.04 or 8.10 for a small single server | 22:37 |
| dou213 | centaur5, but i imagine you would need X for it to be graphical locally | 22:39 |
| dou213 | remotely is another story :) | 22:40 |

| lamont | zul: sup? | 23:26 |
| zul | lamont: not much | 23:26 |
| zul | lamont: how are you? | 23:26 |

| * lamont sees what time it is, gets ready to run to town | 23:29 | |
| lamont | davexoxide: either postfix (my pref), or exim4 are fine - I wouldn't recommend any MTA from universe | 23:29 |
| lamont | laters | 23:29 |
| davexoxide | thx | 23:29 |
| owh | davexoxide: If it helps, postfix is installed by default :) | 23:30 |
| davexoxide | owh: I'm setting up my server on slicehost, I decided to use ubuntu8.10... I configured postfix and restarted it... | 23:32 |
| davexoxide | shouldn't I be able to do mail on command line to test it? | 23:32 |
| owh | davexoxide: No, that's part of mailx IIRC. | 23:32 |
| owh | davexoxide: The command-line mail tool I mean, in-case that wasn't clear. | 23:33 |
| davexoxide | ok what's the best way to test if postfix is working? the website i have up and running is giving me "Unable to send e-mail." | 23:35 |
| owh | What language is the site written in? | 23:44 |
