[00:01] no package stores anything in /usr/local [00:02] that's for hand made, compiled binaries [00:02] dpkg -S /path/to/the/file [00:03] ok, the hell has frozen [00:04] hm, so it says not found [00:04] so I guess I could safely move the files in tehre, they're not in my path [00:06] ok, the dist-upgrade is definitely installing files into /usr/local [00:07] dist-upgrade installs packages [00:08] if you are using only ubuntu repositories, it would be a bug if anything ends up in /usr/local [00:08] but removing the /usr/local did allow the dist-upgrade to complete [00:09] let's hope the reboot works o.O [00:09] I'll dance a jig if it does heeh [00:12] krunk-|work: The *only* things that end up in /usr/local as a result of Ubuntu packages should be empty directories for local sysadmins to add things to to integrate with installed systems (and the occasional index/control file when the relevant thing requires such a file in any integration point directory) [00:17] take care... === jjesse_ is now known as jjesse [00:19] well, the kernel came up. wonder how long it'll take to fsck this 3TB volume [01:00] New bug: #330982 in mysql-dfsg-5.0 (main) "old_passwords.cnf: No such file or directory" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/330982 [01:16] I think evm may be futzing with my hardware raid/fstab setup [01:16] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=583958 [01:16] happened from feisty => gutsy upgrade [01:19] Hello, anybody here ? [01:26] Allo ? Hello ? [01:33] !ask | FrankT-Qc [01:33] FrankT-Qc: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:33] Hi ! There's been an important security update in vsftpd and I was wondering to whom should I raise a flag so that it makes it to the repos as fast as possible ??? Any Idea ? [01:35] FrankT-Qc: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn [01:35] FrankT-Qc: ^^ has guideline about reporting security issues [01:36] mathiaz : Would you suggest I fill a bug report even if that's already fixed in the most recent version of the software ? [01:38] FrankT-Qc: is it fixed in a version that is in the archive? [01:38] not in the archive... [01:38] FrankT-Qc: you can always file a bug report [01:38] alright, i'll try this [01:38] FrankT-Qc: bug report are for packages in the archive [01:40] FrankT-Qc: also: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSecurity [01:41] mathias : Just to make this clear : vsftpd 2.0.7 (in the archive) had an issue and vsftpd 2.1.0 (not yet in the archive) doesn't anymore... What I'm curious about is weither this should be signaled so that 2.1.0 makes it to the archive as fast as possible... still suggest a bug report ? [01:45] FrankT-Qc: the security is tracking bug report marked as security vulnerabilities. They will take appropriate actions. [01:45] FrankT-Qc: the security *team* [01:46] thanks ! [01:49] is there a way to get a status bar when fsck'ing a file system? [01:52] fsck usually prints out [ ==== \ ] type status things [01:53] man fsck :P [01:53] krunk-|work: rtfm n00b!

I followed some guides online and when it asks me to set a password i get errors. I have no idea what to do now [02:18] Is there a good guide online? [02:19] when you installed server did you seelct lamp? [02:19] Yep [02:19] sudo tasksel also reflects this [02:20] Delvien: http://ubuntu.flowconsult.at/en/mysql-set-change-reset-root-password/ [02:21] or sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 [02:23] vorian that set the info [02:23] rock on [02:23] vorian still not loading the page though.. so maybe its not an SQL problem [02:24] where is your page located, and is it writeable? [02:24] /home/user/www [02:24] Its writable [02:25] Well, wordpress just said it wasnt.. grr [02:25] lol [02:25] make sure [02:25] chmod 777 -R ~/www/wordpress-name [02:27] a bit farther now [02:27] I have all the wordpress filed in the root of www since that is the only site for now [02:28] files* [02:28] i see [02:28] so is it working for ya? [02:28] eh, its "running the install" but not doing anything [02:28] so i dont think it is [02:29] you can use the example config, and skip the install [02:30] I'm trying `sudo ls /var/lib/php5/` and the command seems to be running indefinitely... [02:31] Any advice? [02:31] vorian did that, loaded a GUI less page [02:31] vorian that i click log in and it does nothing [02:32] What's funny is that this was working 15 mins ago, I changed blog URL and some other URL and bam, doesnt load now [02:32] ah [02:33] Delvien: install phpmyadmin [02:33] you will have to change your database [02:34] once installed, just type www.yourkewlsite.net/phpmyadmin [02:36] vorian ah, some database info was screwed up [02:36] yes, wordpress stores your site url in the database [02:37] if it doesn't match your actual url, you have to manualy fix it [02:38] vorian http://reidthegeek.com/ test it out for ma [02:39] Delvien: works for me! [02:40] it keeps loading from my dns name or making reference to it [02:42] it's strange, for the life of me, it should just be loading the URL, but instead it references loading the dns name [02:42] it loads fine for me [02:43] It does for me too, but I dont want it loading the dns name [02:43] ah [02:46] vorian i love WP... seriousl [02:46] seriously [02:47] Delvien: it is quite nice :) [02:47] vorian even got the Iphone plugin installed for my android phone, and all u iphoners [02:48] pfft [02:48] vorian what? [02:48] my phone is a bsd phone :P [02:49] (it just happens to be made by apple) [02:49] You can admit you have an Iphone. [02:50] ✓ [02:52] osx is not bsd. sorry :( [02:53] lol [03:13] osx is basically AppleUnix [03:44] is there wobi for 9.04 [03:49] does anyone know of a way on UBUNTU SERVER (NO Window Manager) to Mount a DVD and RUN a SCRIPT (DVD Backup) [03:49] automatically that is [04:34] I've just upgraded to ubuntu 7.10 from ubuntu 7.04. I'd like to upgrade to the LTS edition [04:35] is that jus t a matter or changing sources? [04:40] krunk-: No [04:40] krunk-: See http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading#Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers (Recommended) [05:05] i need to make a user to su to root and delete a user that was formerly the only one and then use root to make it again with no password, what to do? [05:06] boot single user [05:06] how? [05:06] i have the 'login:' prompt [05:07] ctrl+alt+del the box so it reboots, then when grub counts down press escape and select 'single user' [05:07] ok [05:07] theres probably a detailed guide on the wiki/help site [05:09] ok im on the grub menu i have 'Ubuntu 8.10 blah blah blah blah blah 2.6.27-7-server' and a recovery mode, is recovery mode right? (i also have a memtest86+ but i obviously know that is NOT gonna help)\ [05:10] yeah, recovery mode [05:10] *chooses recovery mode and lol's at BIG VERBOSITY* root shell? [05:12] what do i pick? [05:15] not sure what you get with ubuntu recovery shell - a root terminal , if thats an option [05:16] yea there is [05:16] and please dont pm me [05:16] ok [05:16] ok im on root prompt [05:17] now remove/add the user as you normally would [05:18] ok [05:18] ok it fussing that i didnt give it a password [05:18] You might want to add them to some group which has sudo rights [05:19] ok [05:21] Weird. freenode keeps disconnecting me when it can't ping me for 30 secs [05:21] hmm [05:22] what id is root's group by default, 1000? 0? [05:22] um, wha? [05:22] racecar-56: Use adm gid instead, root's is dangerous to give to a user [05:22] isnt 'admin' sudoers group? [05:23] Kamping_Kaiser: Yes [05:23] racecar-56: Please don't PM me [05:24] ok so how do i be able to make a user that auto-logs on [05:27] why would you want that? [05:28] so i wont have to unplug my keyboard and plug it into my server and 'blindly' type in the username and pass [05:28] my server is a hp mediasmart ex475 [05:29] racecar-56: You can't ssh into the server? [05:29] scottk: well, im 'setting up' my sever on a real pc first [05:30] scottk: because i dont have a way to see anything the server displays, the server has no video card [05:30] OK, do yourself a favor and learn to ssh into the box. That'll work better. [05:30] it isnt on the internet [05:30] if its not on a network, how is it a server? [05:31] ok look, i am following these crazy instructions... [05:31] i have to take my server's HDD out and put it into a real pc and install ubuntu like nothing [05:31] then set up remote access... however i can't do remote access unless i'm logged into sever right? [05:32] (remote access = ssh) [05:32] If you install the ssh server you should be able to just log in via ssh. [05:32] i did install ssh server [05:33] so all i gotta do is put my server's hd back into sever and turn on the server? [05:33] (obviously it's on the internet and does have cable) [05:34] Assuming networking starts correctly (generally it will). [05:35] does ubuntu's setup only execute drivers that it detects matching devices for? or will it load my server's matching hardware drivers (which is A LOT different)? [05:36] although you may have issues with the ethernet devices changing (udevs fault) [05:36] oh noes [05:36] will it work on internet? [05:36] at all? [05:37] by the way the re-creation of my racecar56 user actually made me not a sudoer... DARN, no more root access! [05:38] good gracious i fell like re-installing it [05:38] did you add yourself to the correct group (as genii suggested) [05:38] i dont know the gid so no [05:39] 114 [05:39] You might want to add them to some group which has sudo rights [05:39] isnt 'admin' sudoers group? [05:41] i dont know how to add a user to a group [05:41] good gracious i fell like re-installing ubuntu server [05:42] use gpasswd [05:42] * genii ponders usermod -G admin username -a [05:42] I can never recall were the -a goes [05:43] Might be right after the -G [05:43] my username is racecar56, what do i do? [05:44] genii, i prefer gpasswd -a user group (less chance of buggering things up afaik) [05:44] Kamping_Kaiser: Yes [05:45] ok [05:45] that fixed it [05:46] Kamping_Kaiser: I apologise for my BSD-isms (adm, usermod) [05:46] lolz [05:46] i do freebsd on a virtual machine sometimes [05:46] genii, hah. I'll be your friend anyway :p [05:47] so all i have to do is put my server's HDD (thats in the pc) back to the server and turn it on and that's all? [05:47] * genii makes another pot of coffee [05:49] sorry glitched out [05:49] so all i have to do is put my server's HDD (thats in the pc) back to the server and turn it on and that's all? [05:58] ok i went and put my server's hd in server and i ping'd the server's IP but its offline [06:00] anyone here? [06:02] racecar-56: How is it's IP decided? [06:03] i install'd ubuntu server on my 'server' (my pc with server's HDD) and i told its ip to be 192.168.1.80 [06:04] and i ping'd it when my server was on and it has 100% packet loss so that means it isnt online... [06:04] the little Ethernet light is flashing [06:06] racecar-56: You told a router to assign 192.168.1.80 to the box which has a specific mac address corresponding to the servers ethernet adapter, or you edited /etc/network/interfaces, or what? [06:07] when i installed ubuntu, it failed to use DHCP (it wasnt plugged in anyway) so i told it to use 192.168.1.80 as the ip (static) [06:09] racecar-56: Did you also tell it to use whatever the ip of the router or so is as it's default gateway? [06:09] yes [06:09] my router is 192.168.1.1 and i told its gateway to be that [06:10] (for specs its a linksys wrt54gs) [06:10] OK, good. Maybe it's just not responding to ping. Try ssh in [06:11] literally run 'ssh in'? [06:11] or the servers ip [06:13] racecar-56: eg: ssh -l some-name-that-exists-on-server 192.168.1.80 [06:13] some-name-that-exists-on-server is hostname? [06:14] hostname of server is racecar56-hpsvr [06:14] Um no [06:14] ok [06:14] If I have a username on there like: George then: ssh -l George 192.168.1.80 [06:15] ohhhh username... right? [06:15] like on login? [06:15] Yes [06:15] ok so i will do 'ssh -l racecar56 192.168.1.80' [06:15] ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.80 port 22: No route to host [06:16] racecar-56: BTW the hyphen in your hostname might be causing a problem [06:16] ok [06:16] can i fix that? [06:16] racecar-56: Yes but in same manner you just fixed the other username issue [06:17] ok [06:17] i guess ill get its HDD out then... and put it in my pc [06:18] racecar-56: If you can help me a bit... put my nick in anything you wish me to see... I'm in ~14 channels and I'll see it whichever one I'm in at the moment [06:18] k [06:19] krunk-: you can kill -USR1 $(pidof fsck) to get it to start showing the progress bar if you forgot to run it with -C [06:20] (assuming you're doing a ext2/3/4 fsck) [06:22] genii i have the login prompt now, what do i do? [06:23] racecar-56: I will be /away in about 10-15 minutes (It's about 1:20AM here and my irc client is here whenther I am or not, it just marks me /away when i leave). So if I'm not responding remember I'll read everything next time I'm awake. [06:23] racecar-56: Change the hostname [06:23] ok [06:24] racecar-56: EG: hostname racecar56hpsvr or such [06:24] racecar-56: Avoid characters you would not see in a real domain hostname [06:27] genii i changed it [06:28] racecar-56: Good. While there maybe do: tail /var/log/messages and see if anything remarkable that might be causing the prob if not the bad hostname [06:29] genii sudo is fussing 'unable to resolve host racecar56hpsvr' [06:30] genii if i sudo a command it will say that [06:31] racecar-56: hats OK. The ethernet adapter in there right now is seen as eth1 and it's messing up gateway etc etc. Although you may anyhow want to add it's own ip and name to the resolv.conf or hosts file [06:33] racecar-56: Also the router IP to resolv.conf as a nameserver [06:34] genii it still says that [06:35] genii im going to move the computer to my desk so ill have internet [06:36] racecar-56: Yup, networking has not been restarted, etc. But being in a different box makes this problemmatic in other ways anyhow. You should be able to just put it in it's original case and hook it up now, etc [06:38] vorian: it's true; OS X != BSD [06:39] on the other hand, my phone does actually run a Linux kernel /smug [06:40] genii i tried powering up server with its HDD and it still dosen't ssh [06:41] racecar-56: When you installed to that drive, was it in the box you keep shifting it to, or in the server box ? [06:41] genii the HDD came with the server if thats what ur asking [06:42] racecar-56: It wasn't. [06:42] racecar-56: EG: is the box HDD is in now... was ubuntu installed while HDD in there? [06:43] ("server") [06:44] genii server, its in the server and server is on [06:46] racecar-56: OK. Because whatever ethernet adapter was in box when you installed has resrved spot of eth0. So this can mess networking up if you install on one box, shift to different box (or even just swap ethernet adapter) [06:48] genii ok so move it to my pc again? [06:52] racecar-56: It's 1:48AM here and work for me starts in 6 hours so I'm not gonna be around much longer. The main idea is: double check network IP/gateway/hostname/default route is all correct. Make sure static IP stuff for eth0 for exqample is set properly in /etc/network/interfaces. Make sure it knows how to resolv it's own name to it's own IP. MAke sure ssh-srver is installed and starting during boot. etc [06:55] racecar-56: When this box is booted up, does it have internet access? [06:56] no [06:57] genii im sorry but i never finished the moving projects [06:58] * genii ponders "moving projects" [06:59] *project [07:02] genii i got it moved [07:03] racecar-56: You physically moved the server someplace...? You moved the HDD between boxes again..? [07:04] genii i moved the pc back to my desk.. it has internet cable plugged in now [07:05] The fastest way currently would just be to temporaily attach a keyboard and monitor to whatever the server box is while the hdd is in it, figure out the prob and solve it, then remove keyboard and monitor, complete whatever else from ssh in from other box [07:05] the server dosent have a vid card [07:05] racecar-56: So then how did you initially install ubuntu on the hdd? [07:06] i put my sever's HDD in my pc and installed ubuntu [07:06] * genii head-desks [07:06] I'm pretty sure I asked this Q of you and you indicated to me it was the other way around [07:06] orly? [07:07] Yes [07:07] hmm [07:08] seems like i dont have internet access on the pc [07:08] with my servers HDD [07:08] Anyhow. When it is in the server, the ethernet adapter it uses will be eth1 and not eth0. So you have to make entries inthe /etc/network/interfaces file for a static config with IP of 192.168.1.80 gateway/defaultrouter of 192.168.1.1 and so on. [07:10] racecar-56: Does: ifconfig show anything other than the interface "lo" ? [07:10] yes [07:10] it shows eth0 and l0 [07:10] *lo [07:10] eth0, yes? [07:10] yes [07:10] no eth1 [07:11] Yes, I thought I explained this in painful detail why eth0 vs eth1 when changing computers/ethernet adapters already [07:11] i wonder why it dosent show eth1 [07:11] i using pc so it no show? [07:11] eth1 is in server and not in pc [07:12] yes ok [07:12] * genii watches the light bulb begin to shine [07:13] racecar-56: Sorry, I'm frustrated, don't mean to take it out on you. Just that we could have been past this point ages ago if you answered an earlier Q properly [07:13] ok [07:14] racecar-56: So you need to make an entry in /etc/network/interfaces exactly like the one there which is for eth0 but for eth1 instead. Maybe even use a different IP so the two don't conflict. [07:14] ok [07:15] * racecar-56 headdesks because i cant copy the text [07:16] ok im done [07:16] racecar-56: If you: nano /etc/network/interfaces then just use ctrl-k to copy the eth0 lines and ctrl-u to paste them again. Then go up manually and edit 0 to 1. ctrl-x to exit, Y for "Yes" to save. Enter key to confirm same name [07:17] hi, Im just installed ubuntu-server on brand new mashine. which runs on hardware raid 1. but I get dropt into busybox with message: gave up waiting for root device. what is problem? [07:17] im done with network interfaces [07:18] racecar-56: Good :) if you use: sudo ls does it currently complain about not finding itself? [07:18] unable to resolve host racecar56hpsvr [07:20] racecar-56: OK. Is there a line in /etc/hosts which reads like: 192.168.1.80 racecar56hpsvr [07:20] Where 192.168.1.80 is eth1 IP [07:20] ahhh it has a - like my old hostname [07:20] *fixes* [07:20] Good. [07:20] WOOT IT FIXED [07:21] racecar-56: Try the sudo ls again [07:21] sudo is working now [07:21] racecar-56: Good. [07:21] racecar-56: I think should be ok to swap back now [07:22] it does not have internet access (sudo apt-get update dosent work) [07:22] by the way it says i should have had a seprate boot partition [07:22] im following this: http://samuel.thollander.net/projects/linux-on-hp-ex470/ [07:23] racecar-56: There are other things here which can also be an issue. the server may not put same geometry on the hdd as the pc does for instance. But hard to check that without some useful output device like a ct [07:23] *crt [07:24] racecar-56: Was there defaultroute or gateway so entry in the /etc/network/interfaces for your eth0 and eth1 ? [07:25] maybe i should do a reinstall because all of these problems just because of no internet [07:25] yes [07:25] there was a lo and eth0 in there but i had to make a eth1 entry [07:26] *restarts with ctrl+alt+del* [07:26] racecar-56: So in there you have like 5 lines similar to: [07:26] bah [07:26] when i restarted it still has no internet [07:27] think i should boot the server again? [07:27] racecar-56: Lines like: auto eth1 then: iface eth1 inet static then: address 192.168.1.80 then: netmask 255.255.255.0 then: gateway 192.168.1.1 [07:28] yes [07:28] Good. [07:28] wait a sec...... [07:28] racecar-56: check ssh-server is in [07:28] ok [07:28] OMG [07:29] SSH ACCESS [07:29] IT WORKS WHEN ITS ON PC O_O [07:29] ok, i tried ssh 192.168.1.81 (my eth0's address) and it works [07:30] Good. [07:30] im gonna server boot now [07:30] racecar-56: I'd say we know the essential things are there now [07:30] *turns off pc* [07:30] * genii sips his decaf [07:31] racecar-56: I shoulda been in bed a long time ago now but I'll hang in to see the results so far [07:31] ok [07:32] no suggestions on /dev/mapper problem? [07:33] i dont know how to fix.. [07:34] SkyNetMaster: This some ICH10 chipset hardware raid? [07:34] its is intel 5000 server motherboard [07:35] I have too chech the specific chip [07:35] I found on the net that I should try to boot with linux nodmraid [07:35] but I hava no clue where to enter this commad [07:36] grub [07:36] edit your grub [07:36] SkyNetMaster: At end of grub line which loads kernel [07:36] press escape when it comes up [07:37] ok, so afther /boot/vm***** root=/dev/mapper/** [07:37] SkyNetMaster: At any rate... if it is an ICH10 chipset.... you need ahci driver [07:38] SkyNetMaster: Yes, at end of that line [07:38] racecar-56: server booted yet? [07:40] no [07:40] putting my pc back together [07:40] Ah [07:40] now im putting my servers hd into the case [07:40] and the case in the server [07:40] genii : it is only intel chips on board, cant find any traice of info about ICH10 on board [07:41] SkyNetMaster: OK. Gimme a sec I'll try to find the specs [07:42] genii : the board http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5000vsa/howto.htm [07:42] the stange thing is if I create LV then installing it works [07:42] OK. AFK [07:43] the linux nodmraid did do anything, I got droped back to BusyBox [07:43] booting sever [07:43] *server [07:44] SkyNetMaster: Looks like it has it's own integrated "5000" chipset or so. Not sure what driver that might need. [07:44] SkyNetMaster: Well, if you have /dev/mapper/whatever then it has no viable root [07:44] hmm looks like im getting the same error on ssh [07:45] racecar-56: Can you ping it's eth1 IP? [07:46] genii could manual partitioning solve it? [07:47] or it coud be enough to edig fstab? [07:47] SkyNetMaster: Not sure :/ [07:47] SkyNetMaster: I don't know enough about your motherboard to recommend a course of action at this point that I'd feel good about [07:48] no it dosent ping right [07:48] and ssh still dont work [07:49] but im really tired and i wanna go to bed [07:49] see you tomorrow [07:49] racecar-56: I'm starting to think the server sees the HD differently than the pc [07:49] ok [07:49] eg: It doesn't get to boot stage because the way server sees it [07:50] genii : grup question, I have edited line, but then I reboot the line look like old one, so it dind saved, why is so [07:50] SkyNetMaster: When you edit when it is during boot, change is only that time [07:51] SkyNetMaster: For permanent you have to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file from in linux for it to be permanent [07:51] Bleh, tired. Keep repeating words etc [07:52] goodbye [07:53] * genii prepares a large urn of coffee for the channel before he goes /away [07:54] genii booing to recovery kernel I get a lot of message, many of them is about: driver 'sr' need updating - please use bus_type methods. does this say anything usefull [07:54] SkyNetMaster: I get that all the time, and I don't know why. I imagine that sr is the SCSI subsytem, which is also used for SATA disks. [07:55] hu, I wonder if installing this would solve the problem http://intel.driversdown.com/Intel-drivers/Intel-Server-Board-S5000VSA-SAS-Software-RAID-Driver_73927.shtml [07:55] but how do I install driver without be able too boot? [08:00] SkyNetMaster: IME installing third-party drivers rarely helps. [08:00] Just, you know, as a general rule. [08:01] ok, but the questions is how do I fix it? :) the problem [08:01] SkyNetMaster: I haven't been paying attention; can you summarize the symptoms in one or two lines? [08:03] http://downloadmirror.intel.com/17068/eng/ESRT2_Linux_v.11.02.0626.2008_2.zip is the driver Intel provides. Gonna look at it shortly [08:03] I have a system on intel s5000VSA board, with RAID 1 enabled, installiations works fine, I do guided partiotioning using whole disk. then I reboot I get dropt to BusyBox with error "gave up waitning for root" and ALERT! that /dev/mapper/*** does not exist. ls /dev/mapper/show that device exist [08:04] I have tryed to bood with linux nodmraid, but it didn't help [08:05]
