[01:05] <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?
[02:10] <UndertakerX2> what are hgfx shares?
[03:17] <ziroday> Hi, anyone familiar with snort? I can't work out how I am meant to include all the rule sets
[03:20] <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
[03:21] <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
[03:22] <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
[03:25] <UndertakerX2> i cant seem to access phpmyadmin
[03:26] <UndertakerX2> even though it is installed and configuered for apache 2
[03:26] <ziroday> UndertakerX2: permissions?
[03:27] <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?
[03:28] <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
[03:29] <ziroday> UndertakerX2: sorry, only ever install phpmyadmin manually
[03:30] <UndertakerX2> by downloading the php files?
[03:30] <ziroday> UndertakerX2: yep
[03:31] <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
[03:32] <UndertakerX2> oh ok i found another tut but didnt mention the apahce config edit
[03:32] <UndertakerX2> thanks very much to both of you
[03:33] <UndertakerX2> all though i would have though selecting apache 2 should have doen that for me, double checking now
[03:35] <UndertakerX2> can i add that line nay where in apache.conf?
[03:36] <ropetin> Looking at it, that appears to be for apache.  You have Apache2, right?
[03:36] <UndertakerX2> yes
[03:41] <UndertakerX2> that code worked all the same, thanks again ropetin
[03:44] <ropetin> NP!
[03:51] <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?
[03:52] <UndertakerX2> the xp machine can access the server
[03:53] <ropetin> routing issue?  Are they all on the same subnet?  Firewall issue?
[03:54] <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.
[03:55] <UndertakerX2> hmm then again i do have a firewall in my router.
[03:56] <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
[03:58] <UndertakerX2> request timed out when i pinf from win 7
[03:58] <UndertakerX2> ping*
[04:00] <ropetin> OK, so try disabling the firewall and try again
[04:01] <UndertakerX2> software firewall off and it gave me ping time out again
[04:01] <ropetin> What are the two IPs?
[04:02] <UndertakerX2> 2 ips? which 2? :S
[04:02] <UndertakerX2> obviously the server ip..
[04:02] <UndertakerX2> and?
[04:03] <UndertakerX2> oh the 2 ips ubuntu gives me?
[04:05] <ropetin> The server IP and the one you're trying to connect from
[04:06] <UndertakerX2> server = http://192.168.56.132/
[04:08] <UndertakerX2> ip from notebook=192.168.1.3
[04:10] <ropetin> And what netmask do they have assigned?
[04:11] <UndertakerX2> 255.0.0.0 on server
[04:11] <UndertakerX2> notbook = 255.255.255.0
[04:12] <UndertakerX2> guest the subnet is diffrent :p
[04:12] <ropetin> Yup yup
[04:12] <UndertakerX2> err wait
[04:13] <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
[04:14] <UndertakerX2> the server and win7 yes
[04:14] <UndertakerX2> ohh?
[04:15] <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
[04:16] <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
[04:17] <UndertakerX2> oh? ok so how do i proceed?
[04:18] <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
[04:19] <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!
[04:20] <ropetin> NP!
[05:05] <roy_hobbs> Is there some sort of repository server or cache to facilitate updating many clients on a local network?
[05:07] <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
[05:08] <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.
[05:11] <roy_hobbs> what does the ng stand for?
[05:12] <ziroday> roy_hobbs: new generation
[05:34] <UndertakerX2> whats the best way to assign permisions to var/www ?
[05:34] <UndertakerX2> sorry permisions so i can ftp to
[05:35] <UndertakerX2> i can log in via ftp, just not transfer
[06:51] <UndertakerX2> should i use apt-get install memcached php5-memcache to install memcache?
[06:54] <ropetin> UndertakerX2: Sounds sensible
[06:54] <ropetin> Are you using php5?
[06:55] <UndertakerX2> yep
[06:56] <UndertakerX2> i got it installed and working just checking if there was a better version for apche or soemthing yea know? :p
[10:11] <Hellsheep> Hey, how do i transfer a file from a windows machine onto a Ubuntu server?
[10:13] <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
[10:16] <Kamping_Kaiser> neither.
[10:16] <Hellsheep> Do you know how to use SSH to do it?
[10:17] <ziroday> Hellsheep: using scp
[10:18] <Hellsheep> Thanks
[10:21] <Kamping_Kaiser> Hellsheep, or since its a doze box, try 'WinSCP'
[10:24] <Hellsheep> Would this work:
[10:24] <Hellsheep> scp -r /pathtofolder/ name@host:/targethetfolder/
[10:25] <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
[10:26] <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
[10:29] <Hellsheep> What does that mean? O_O
[10:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> I guess it sees : in the file name, and assumes that the bit in front ( C ) is a hostname
[10:31] <Hellsheep> Oh
[10:31] <Hellsheep> Hmmm
[10:31] <Hellsheep> I wonder how to tell it to find the file then
[10:33] <Kamping_Kaiser> no idea how ssh/scp CLI tools work on windows
[10:33]  * Kamping_Kaiser has only used winscp for it
[10:36] <Hellsheep> This is soo annoying
[10:40] <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
[10:42] <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> ?
[10:43] <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
[10:44] <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"
[10:45] <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
[10:46] <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
[10:52] <Hellsheep> Finally
[10:52] <Hellsheep> Thank you!
[10:52] <Kamping_Kaiser> :) np

[20:12] <TTT_Travis> Hi I have a data hard drive that I moved from my old ubuntu computer, now on the new computer the files are all highlighted green in terminal, I Think that means sticky bit -- how do I get the files back to normal?
[21:38] <jimcooncat> I'm having a heck of a time doing preseeding. It works fine, when it works. I have eth0 start the install fine every time, but when d-i goes through dhcp, it intermittently reassigns my second ethernet card as eth0 and stalls. What can I do? It seems that I'd have to pass a MAC address on the startup line, but I don't see how
[21:44] <jimcooncat> I think i got it using IPAPPEND=3. thanks anyway
[22:05] <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) ?
[22:08] <centaur5> dou213: You might want to look into ebox for web administration.
[22:09] <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?
[22:13] <centaur5> dou213: Yes, ebox works without X.
[22:14] <dou213> ok thx centaur5
[22:14] <centaur5> no prob
[22:37] <Alysum> hi - I would like some advice on whether I should use 8.04 or 8.10 for a small single server
[22:39] <dou213> centaur5, but i imagine you would need X for it to be graphical locally
[22:40] <dou213> remotely is another story :)
[22:40] <centaur5> dou213: Yes, well actually I've never tried it with lynx but it might work.
[23:09] <dekkong> Hello guys! I have a computer with 300gb of storage and I would like to use the computer as a server storage for music and movies, would this be easy with ubuntu server 8.10?
[23:13] <Nat_RH> dekkong: Certainly possible, but if thats all you want to do, there may be other options
[23:21] <davexoxide> postfix vs exim?? or any other mail service.
[23:22] <lamont> davexoxide: sure
[23:23] <davexoxide> lamont: which one would you suggest?
[23:24] <lamont> well, I maintain postfix, so I freely admit to being biased
[23:25] <zul> hey lamont
[23:26] <lamont> zul: sup?
[23:26] <zul> lamont: not much
[23:26] <zul> lamont:  how are you?
[23:27] <lamont> doing well
[23:29] <owh> o/
[23:29]  * 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
[23:30] <owh> davexoxide: If it helps, postfix is installed by default :)
[23:32] <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.
[23:33] <owh> davexoxide: The command-line mail tool I mean, in-case that wasn't clear.
[23:35] <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."
[23:44] <owh> What language is the site written in?
[23:50] <twb> Which site?
