[00:00] nothing special what i can see :/ [00:00] just normal logins through ssh and loading of RAM etc. [00:01] local access is logged in /var/log/auth.log and /var/log/user.log [00:01] well something will be logged [00:02] Feb 11 00:27:01 thedomain CRON[10561]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user skrisad [00:02] just a bunch of these [00:03] Feb 11 00:52:25 solkronet kernel: [ 116.101860] type=1502 audit(1234309945.389:14): operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="::r" denied_mask="::r" fsuid=1 [00:03] and that [00:04] well when i start the comp. and look locally it just shows alot of module loading stats for NET MAIL etc. [00:05] and when it has started it seems like only SSH starts up - webserver, mail and so on is not starting at all [00:05] except manually after [00:06] any idea? [00:07] have you tried booting to single user mode and if so did that work? [00:07] and how do i do that - i am not familiar with "single user mode" :) [00:07] are you sitting in front of the server right now? [00:08] i have ssh contact [00:08] well then you can't boot to single user [00:08] you need to see the boot loader [00:08] okay what do i have to do? [00:08] okay you meen recovery mode? [00:09] how have you been testing local logins so far? [00:09] SSH [00:09] . [00:09] no [00:09] sorry :P [00:09] im tired [00:09] i have access to the computer :) [00:09] but not right now [00:10] ok, then it is hard for us to recreate the error right? [00:10] before i tested locally when i had access to it [00:10] and when I previously asked "what is the message on console" you could have said "I don't know because I am not at the computer [00:10] well - we still have all the server apps wich do not startup.. [00:10] well sorry dude [00:11] working with the information you have provided it is difficult to know what the issue is [00:11] i tried to remember just how it looked [00:11] the two messages you reported before are for 1) cron 2) a filesystem issue of some kind [00:11] okay [00:11] I don't think either are related to your local access issue. But that is speculation as I haven't seen your /var/log/* [00:11] well the problem accured after upgrading to 8.10 :/ [00:12] i can pastbin it [00:12] ya that sucks... Personally, I have not done that upgrade and I am not aware of any specific issues [00:12] wich one do you want [00:12] yeah - and i was stupid enough to try it :P [00:13] well messages would be good... and auth.log / user.log [00:13] okay [00:13] give me a sec [00:18] http://notisec.se/logg.txt [00:19] thats messages [00:22] auth and user has nothing of interest - just login logs from my SSH traffic and webmin logs [00:22] found anything? [00:23] not really [00:23] ok :/ [00:23] could it be something with bash? [00:23] I haven't used auditd before [00:23] but it is complaining about BIND trying to read from some folders [00:24] ok [00:24] yeah i can see [00:24] it looks like auditd is blocking access to named [00:24] but I am not too familiar with auditd [00:24] okay :S [00:26] but could that be the problem of all this? [00:26] should not that just affect the DNS server? [00:26] I am not sure, is 7.10 > 8.10 a supported upgrade path? [00:26] why did you skip 8.04 LTS? [00:26] i took first 8.04 [00:27] but that didnt work either so i thought that maybe another upgrade would fix it if something went wrong [00:27] but no.. [00:27] so you had the same problem when you went 7.10 to 8.04? [00:27] yes [00:28] ok so.. is named even running right now? [00:28] ps aux | grep -i named [00:28] sudo /etc/init.d/named status [00:28] etc.. [00:28] if it isn't running what happens when you manually start it? [00:28] syslog 3884 0.0 0.1 2012 680 ? Ss 00:52 0:00 /sbin/syslogd -a /var/lib/named/dev/log -u syslog [00:28] bind 3926 0.0 1.5 41132 8032 ? Ssl 00:52 0:00 /usr/sbin/named -u bind -t /var/lib/named [00:29] cant find named [00:29] lirxis: you could disable apparmor just to check that everything works [00:29] maybe i dont have it installed [00:29] have alerady tried that :/ [00:30] does mysql start when you start apache2? [00:30] yes we know [00:30] well install apparmor and then disable it, something went wrong [00:31] reinstall you meen? [00:31] your logs are filled with apparmor (audit) denied messages [00:31] okay.. [00:31] can you check apparmor is running? [00:32] on my way [00:32] /etc/init.d/apparmor status [00:32] Warning: found /etc/apparmor.d/force-complain/usr.sbin.clamd, forcing complain mode [00:32] mv: inter-device move failed: `images/' to `/var/openx/images'; unable to remove target: Is a directory (from ext3 => xfs) ... is this not allowed or somethign? [00:32] seems like it is not running at all [00:33] sorry [00:33] it did [00:33] is that all? [00:33] that is not a complet output from status [00:33] 4 profiles are loaded.

[00:35] lirxis: disable apparmor [00:35] okay [00:35] kansan: You can't overwrite a directory, you'd have to delete/rename it first [00:35] just stop it or disable it on boot [00:35] invoke-rc.d apparmor stop [00:35] okay [00:35] then restart your apps, like named [00:36] lirxis: there were some changes in the files used by named (afaik), I remember to change something about apparmor named profile, to match the paths I use [00:36] lirxis: and keep watching your logs [00:37] okay so I can try to reboot now? [00:37] reboot? [00:37] why? [00:38] it is linux [00:38] just so all apps get started =) [00:38] just restart your apps [00:38] yeah yeah :P [00:38] well if you want to fight with apparmor, customize their profiles, if not, just disable it permanently [00:38] dont know how many who has not been started [00:38] update-rc.d -f apparmor remove [00:39] and restart :D [00:39] okay i will do that and try then - then fix apparmor another day :P [00:39] wish me luck :P [00:39] luck is for newbies!!! [00:39] :D [00:39] haha :P [00:40] well said [00:40] good luck [00:40] ;) [00:40] remember that the only thing you will have to learn in life is to improvise ;) [00:41] works on jobs, when you study everywhere ;) [00:41] but improvisation combined with knolledge is the ultimate :) [00:41] well you can improvise your luck [00:41] haha :P yea [00:42] okay did not work [00:42] what? [00:42] but maybe i can add apache2 to start on boot somehow? [00:44] Hello - how do I check what port number my nfs server is running on so I can open the firewall? tahnks [00:44] lirxis: check that there is a S??apache2 file in /etc/rc2.d [00:44] ok [00:45] what options should I use with netstat? [00:45] Alysum: nfs doesnt open ports by itself, it is partport via rpc [00:45] rpcinfo [00:45] yes S91apache2 [00:45] lirxis: what about apache logs? [00:45] what port is rpc ? [00:46] not, use rpcinfo [00:46] I did rpcinfo -p localhost [00:47] it says port 111 for portmapper [00:47] I suppose thats it [00:47] 111 is the portmapper port not nfs [00:47] nfs uses portmap [00:47] nothing in error.log [00:48] nfs use a range, they shoul be listed there, a port por nfsd, mountd, nfslock and probably otheres [00:48] looks like it is not even loaded.. [00:48] oh yes I have a couple of nfs rows in rpcinfo [00:49] Alysum: nfs ports can change over the time [00:49] ok [00:49] you need to open a range or fix nfs ports, dont remeber where, probably in /etc/default/nfs-something [00:50] how come port 2049 is not listed in netstat -l ? [00:50] or maybe it doesnt actually listen? [00:50] is your nfs running? [00:50] you need to start nfs after portmap [00:51] yeah they are boh running [00:51] is it legal to create symlinks across different volumes (if one is ext3 and the other is xfs)? [00:51] nf/etc/init.d/portmap restart [00:52] and /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart [00:57] kansan: I dont see the problem, they all use inodes :D it is everything they need to know [00:58] jmedina: symlinks do not refer to inodes. They refer to names. [00:58] kansan: That's completely fine. [00:59] soren: you are right, i confused with hard links [00:59] they do are the same inode with a different name [01:07] to NFS mount something you need to open portmapper and nfs ports I believe? [01:08] which are 111 for portmapper and 2049 for nfs (by default) [01:09] but it still won't mount :( I get timeout [01:09] "NFS Portmap: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out" [01:16] any tips? [01:19] Hey guys! [01:50] Alysum: does "rpcinfo -p" list nfs entries? [01:50] twb: yes [01:51] Alysum: which end is giving that error, the server or the client? [01:51] the client trying to mount it [01:51] Alysum: are both client and server running Ubuntu? [01:51] yep [01:52] OK, next I would check the firewall / networking between the two machines. [01:52] portmap 111 port and nfs port 2049 are open on firewall [01:52] ping works [01:52] Oh, you have a firewall between them. [01:52] not sure if mountd port needs to be open too ? [01:52] NFS uses a whole bunch of ports, IIRC. [01:53] According to unfs3's manpage, the MOUNT protocol also uses 2049 by default. [01:53] hmm that is well open... [01:54] I also see "-p Do not register with the portmapper. This will prevent other hosts from finding out the port numbers used for the MOUNT and NFS services by querying the portmap daemon. Clients will need to manually specify the port numbers to use (on Linux clients, use the mountport and port mount options)." [01:56] On a working box, I can see that statd is also in use on a high port (33641) [01:56] That might be for NIS, though; the box I'm looking at is both an NFS and NIS client, and an NFS server. [01:56] I dont have statd [01:57] rpcinfo has portmapper, status, nfs, mountd and nlockmgr [01:57] Alysum: I'm looking at "netstat -nap" [01:57] I have a whole bunch of rpc.statd port mappings. [01:58] OK FIXED [01:58] I had to open mountd port... [01:59] so thats 3 bloody ports that need open: portmapper, nfs and mountd [01:59] thanks [02:00] I'm amazed it worked with only those 3. [02:00] So just for my interest, you opened which ports on which host(s)? [02:02] i am having issues doing do-release-upgrade on 7.04 [02:02] is it advisable to change sources manually and run dist-upgrade [02:04] a1fa_: there is an upgrade document somewhere that explains how to do it, and the known gotchas. [02:04] a1fa_: but what you described is the basic idea, yes. [02:04] do-release-upgrade is trying to download amd64 sources for intel cpu [02:04] ;P [02:06] All modern Intel CPUs are amd64 architecture. [02:06] The marketing name is EM64T [02:10] twb: I opened the 3 ports on the nfs server [02:12] Alysum: and you have no firewall on the NFS client? [02:12] yeah there is but it's outgoing not incoming [02:13] so my cpu is XEON and I used AMD64 cd [02:13] would that create problems? [02:13] is there a special flavor for xeon now? [02:13] a1fa: if you can boot and install the AMD64 CD, then it is an AMD64 CPU. [02:14] a1fa: there may be a special flavour of the kernel, but there won't be for anything else -- the ROI of making Xeon-specific packages is negligible. [02:14] awesome [02:14] thanks === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [02:55] how do i stop the mysql server ? [02:59] use /etc/init.d/mysql stop [03:01] There's also invoke-rc.d which does the same thing [03:02] Touche [03:03] I use it because on my system it's less characters to type :) [03:03] I wanna start x on my server how can I do this? [03:04] You'll need to install some GUI packages [03:05] I did sudo apt-get install xinit, what else do I need to do? [03:06] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will install GNOME etc. bear in mind that for help with GUI stuff you won't receieve much assistance here - it's mostly all command line people. [03:07] Well what I wish to do is start up firefox to see if the server is properly connected to the net [03:08] heh, you don't need firefox for that. [03:08] ping google.com [03:09] lol unknown host [03:19] good evening [03:19] Im looking for some help with 8.10 server [03:19] can anyone answer a few ?'s [03:20] Hello. [03:21] hello elite [03:21] can anyone walk me through mounting a windows share drive? [03:21] I only know a little about 8.10 whats up? [03:21] im new to ubuntu and linux [03:21] have installed the software and samba [03:21] I can try it should be easy though [03:22] well for some reason im not seeing the largest partition of my hard drive [03:22] not sure if it did not get configured correctly upon installation [03:22] or if im not doing something correctly [03:22] steelcityjim: have you read this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [03:22] So you have a drive in your PC now you wish to share to windows computer? [03:22] yes [03:23] windows network [03:23] im adding a file server [03:23] i see the server on my windows netowrk [03:23] shows up under what i named it with samba on my windows pc [03:23] under my network places [03:23] okay are you using ssh or a GUI? [03:23] niether [03:23] command line [03:24] *sigh* [03:24] I have read the guis don't really do anything [03:24] How do you connect to the server? [03:24] router [03:25] no they really dont [03:25] dhcp [03:25] * Elite facepalms [03:25] it configured upon install [03:25] it appears to have configured correctly from what I can tell [03:25] to the network that is [03:27] Yes I know, do you plan to keep this machine on all the time? [03:27] yes [03:27] I have mine on all the time since its in a 1U case that has a pinta front panel [03:28] if I reboot the server do I have to restart samba manually [03:28] im assuming with the standard install I do [03:28] is that correct? [03:29] steelcityjim: it will be set to start when the computer boots [03:30] without modifying any of the files? [03:32] Yes all you have to do is reboot [03:32] ok cool [03:32] now I tried the sudo fdisk -i command [03:32] and i believe it only showed me the os partitions [03:33] i just did mv dir/ /anotherdir , and the content disapeard :( [03:33] I appear to be missing 66 gb of my drive [03:34] when I was installing im pretty sure it said partition #5 [03:34] would be the 66 gb [03:35] then it should be /dev/sda0s5 [03:35] do cd /dev/sda0s5 [03:36] Erm, what? [03:36] ok so i just type cd/dev/sda0s5 [03:37] Would it not be? [03:37] let me try [03:37] No, it wouldn't be. [03:38] or /dev/hda5? [03:38] Be careful with what you're doing, you have the ability to destroy your data. [03:38] /dev/ is where your devices are, you can't change directory to a device. [03:39] gah! [03:39] damn BSD lol [03:40] yea that did not work [03:40] I got no data on here yet [03:40] ok how do i find this damn drive [03:41] hads [03:41] Yes? [03:42] I'm stumped lol [03:42] You want to know what device your drive is? It will likely be /dev/sda if you only have one drive. [03:42] Will it be in /Volumes/ or will it be /mnt/ ? [03:42] !mtr [03:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about mtr [03:43] so do i do sudo fdisk /dev/sda5 [03:44] only one drive in the unit now with 80 gig hd [03:44] yes do that [03:44] No, sda5 is a partition. [03:44] sda is the drive. [03:45] ok so....sudo fdsik /dev/sda [03:45] Try it lol [03:45] wow that confident huh [03:46] I don't use fdisk that much in fact the last time I used ssh to do anything to my server as far as setup was a month and a half ago lol [03:47] ok im guessing this ain't good [03:47] the number of cylinders for this disk is set to 165398 [03:47] there is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024 and could in certain setups cause problems with [03:47] 1. softwarre that runs boot time [03:48] 2. booting and partiionig software from other oss [03:48] command (m for help) [03:48] what does it mean basil?

[04:11] its timing out [04:11] ip address aint' right [04:12] What is ifconfig telling you? [07:41] hi there i can't seem to get ubuntu server to find my sata disk, the debian installer finds it but no the ubuntu server one - i have tried the normal and the advanced.. both do not detect it [07:42] <_ruben> fancy hardware ? [07:42] _ruben: i doubt it [07:42] its seagate on a generic intel motherboard [07:43] http://pastebin.com/d41a34074 [07:44] <_ruben> ich6 shouldnt be that exotic indeed .. strange [07:45] <_ruben> does the installer not detect it, or not even the kernel? [07:45] _ruben: should i try again maybe ? [07:46] i'm not sure about the kernel. i didn't stick around to test it. i have run ubuntu on this box before, but didnt' want to burn the alt cd to get encryption as i already have this server cd. [07:47] <_ruben> i'd try again, and if the installer complains about no disks, drop to a shell (on one of the virtual consoles) and check the bootlogs [07:47] nar it finds my other disk. [07:48] will do that now. [08:08] nar it detects my hardware but "can't activate it" [08:08] what ever that means [08:08] do you think the alt install will work ? [08:23] Hi.
