[00:15] its odd, a while after i run iptables -I INPUT -s ! 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -j REJECT i stop being able to access the server using cifs from my windows box, and as soon as i delete the rule it works again [00:15] everything else works though [00:19] may need to allow broadcast traffic too? [00:21] how do i do that, its just odd how it works fine for a while then stops? [00:26] allow traffic to/from 255.255.255.255 as well? [00:27] so just run iptables -I INPUT -s ! 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.255 -j REJECT instead of other command [00:29] no, the second param is the netmask, assuming you want traffic from 192.168.0.* you need it as defined earlier [00:29] that said, broadcast traffic appears from the source anyway, so it's not that [00:40] Does anybody know how to get rid of complaints like Does anybody know how to get rid of apparmor complaints like requested_mask="::r" denied_mask="::r" name="/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl-2.7.so" pid=6792 profile="null-complain-profile" namespace="default" for a sshd profile for a sshd profile [00:49] /msg nickserv register m0v135 treymul@gmail.com [00:50] daddy242: I'd suggest a different password next time. [00:50] and possibly a different irc client / terminal configuration [00:51] not to mention more careful observation of 5 spaces [00:51] good call [00:52] is there any pfsense like package for ubuntu-server? [00:58] * genii struggles with apcutils [00:58] Does anybody know how to get rid of apparmor complaints like requested_mask="::r" denied_mask="::r" name="/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl-2.7.so" pid=6792 profile="null-complain-profile" namespace="default" for a sshd profile [02:01] you can edit the apparmor profiles [02:02] /etc/apparmor.d or somesuch [02:03] I have done a lot of editing, the files in question have already been given read rights to sshd, but i am getting these errors due to this other profile [02:04] did you edit the null-complain-profile ? [02:07] no, I'm not sure what that is [02:08] I don't even have anything like that under apparmor.d,, where would I find it [02:10] something is telling it to gripe by default about stuff [02:10] alternatively, just disable apparmor, its irritating and broken :P [02:10] have you googled for that error? [02:12] yes and I haven't been able to find anything helpful [02:14] meh [02:17] i guess you could make a profile to specificially consider that file in question [02:17] question is... is apparmor breaking something or just griping? [02:19] Sam-I-Am: What's broken about our apparmor and have you filed bugs? [02:19] its more like the default profiles for apps [02:20] i spent almost a day trying to figure out some weirdness with slapd only to find out it was a misconfigured apparmor profile [02:20] There are certainly sometimes problems with them. [02:20] turns out there was a bug filed for it already, but the subject for it was a bit misleading... nor did i realize it was apparmor at the time. [02:23] is there any package that would setup a ubuntu-server to something similar to m0n0wall or pfsense? [02:24] hmmm, i havent seen one [02:58] CppIsWeird: nope, but firewalls in ubuntu are pretty simple: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html === UdontKnow is now known as ObiWanQueNoob [04:06] Any way to send a network alert when ups kicks in? [04:07] (so all the other boxes can nicely shut down when there's like 2 minutes left of power for instance) [04:13] hello I need help on installing ubuntu on HP Prolient ml350 G5 [04:14] genii: I guess that would be up to nut. [04:14] the installation goes just fine from ubuntu-server-64.iso. but I can not boot after install. ml350 hangs after reboot saying "attempting Boot from hard drive c:". [04:14] goksu: that sounds like the MBR wasn't installed, since it refers to "drive c:" which GNU/Linux never does. [04:22] twb: how do I fix it? [04:22] By installing the bootloader, I imagine [04:23] ubuntu installs well from cd. all the way to remove installation cd prompt. [04:23] That's assuming I've diagnosed the error correctly, of course. [04:23] shouldnt the install cd load that too? [04:23] I am thinking along the same lines. [04:23] goksu: it should [04:23] goksu did you do custom partitioning? [04:23] I have 4 hdds. I made raid5. [04:24] goksu: hardware or md raid5? [04:24] goksu lvm raid5? [04:24] no I did not. guided with lvm. [04:24] I missed the problem. what is it? [04:24] PhotoJim: 14:17 the installation goes just fine from ubuntu-server-64.iso. but I can not boot after install. ml350 hangs after reboot saying "attempting Boot from hard drive c:". [04:24] twb: Thanks. [04:25] :) [04:25] I had a problem with RAID1 (software) not enabling quickly enough for a successful boot. adding a rootdelay solved it. but your problem is not what mine was, alas. [04:25] so after pluging the 4 hdds. I did a raid5 from the boot F8 or F120 I guess. [04:26] no. I have not installed a software raid. because I dont know how to do that. and the raid5 install I did I did before the ubuntu cd got inside the machine. [04:27] goksu: ok, so you are using hardware raid? [04:27] yes hardware raid. raid5. [04:28] goksu did ubuntu install see 4 drives or 1? [04:28] I have 4x 146GB drives. the total now with raid5 is about 410GB. so yes I t did. [04:29] goksu see 1 drive @410GB? [04:29] yes. [04:30] should I have done a raid5 on 3 drives and set the fourth as a hot spare? [04:31] no. [04:32] ok. so Ubuntu installs from cd ok. but I can not boot after the cd is removed when asked. [04:32] i used the ubuntu server guide to set up postfix with tls, but mail clients are complaining that the certificate is out of date. Can anyone point me in the direction in which I am going wrong? [04:32] goksu setting up hardware raid varies from card to card. it's fairly easy to screw up. I would check the raid card manual. [04:33] I hate hardware raid [04:33] Especially fakeraid [04:33] goksu sounds like problem with raid card and not ubuntu. guessing. [04:34] friartuck: I'll go through the manual again. but shouldnt ubuntu have said so when I last installed? It even asked to removed the old swap partition and all from the previous install attempt. [04:34] boot from raid5 is often problemmatic [04:35] geni: hmmm. that means not possible for ubuntu or needs workaround? [04:35] goksu well, when hardware raid is done right...the OS thinks there is only one drive. [04:35] friartuck: yes that what I know. [04:36] till what time can I count on you guys being around? [04:37] goksu: it doesn't work that way. [04:37] goksu: people here are from all over the world, and they come and go individually. There's no roster. [04:38] goksu this guy did it with guided partitioning and no lvm: http://www.cylindric.net/blog/2007/09/11/ubuntu-on-a-compaq-ml350-server maybe reinstall and try no lvm... [04:39] twb: cause yesterday I couldnt find anyone. being the weekend and all. [04:39] Shrug [04:39] its good to know. :) [04:40] If you need support bad enough there are people you can pay [04:40] Otherwise you take what you get [04:40] kick it [04:40] twb: what I try to do here is to get a linux server into the company. they insist on getting everything with windows. and they cant do it properly even then. [04:41] goksu: commercial Linux support is available from quite a few places. there are tons of advantages to running a server on Linux versus Windows, but whether it makes sense at a given company depends on a lot of things. [04:42] ok some background. I am a civil engineer, lead planning engineer here in qatar (thats gmt+3 so 06:30 now). I have been trying to get most of my work onto the linux side. [04:43] I have already moved my two laptops to ubuntu. and what I have been trying with windows it is easier with linux. the learning curve is higher but I like to read manuals anyway. :) [04:43] goksu: I did not see your Q immediately, it did not flag to me due to mis-spelling of ny nick. A usual workaround is to have a small un-raided /boot which then goes to the main system in a raid5 layout [04:44] A hardware raid1 is also OK, depending. [04:44] goksu try the install without lvm. just use regular guided. leave the raid5. [04:45] genii: he's using hardware raid5, so a separate /boot shouldn't be necessary. [04:45] friartuck: I will try without lvm now. [04:45] twb: Even hardware raid 5 controllers often do not allow for boot. The adaptec series has a few like this for instance [04:46] genii: that's retarded [04:46] I think it's an MBR issue when the data is being striped [04:46] everything I hear about hardware raid makes me sad [04:47] twb that's a shame, it makes for very fast disk access and reliability. raid is good. [04:47] We bought a fancy IBM rackmount box with hotswap drives for a customer, and only later found out that you had to ask specially if you wanted the hardware raid firmware to support RAID5 [04:48] friartuck: I have no problem with md RAID, I use it a lot. [04:48] twb: That totally sucks [04:48] (the firmware issue) [04:48] friartuck: but hardware RAID is like SCSI, you have to have the right kind of jewelled knife and it has to be a full moon and shit [04:49] genii: I think that was also one of the stupid raids where you need a tainted driver to make it appear to the kernel as a single drive [04:49] Ah, not true hardware raid then [04:49] The other reason I like md raid is that I don't need to buy spare copies of the raid controller, because md raid is md raid, and any linux can read it with any kind of controller [04:50] genii: bloody wacky hardware raid, at least [04:50] genii: stupid IBM... [04:50] * genii throws a rock at Big Blue for twb [04:50] ok I got this from the boot setup menu F10: boot disk status: passed-disk present, boot disk ready: pass -disk ready, verify boot sector: pass-valid os boot sector present. [04:50] Hm, perhaps it supports MBR [04:50] so I a am now starting the without lvm regular guided install from scratch. [04:50] But sata is always hot pluggable, right, so it's TOOOOTALLY safe to just open a cheap-ass whitebox tower and add/remove drives while it's running [04:51] >duck< [04:51] twb: I'm moving to combination SAS/SATA so I can eventually move it all to SAS [04:52] SCSI's just too expensive to justify for me. [04:52] sata 3Gb/s are nice these days. [04:54] twb: I definitely agree on the price issue [04:54] Yeah, the price of what? [04:54] Hi, could someone please tell me how to configure what port apache listens on? My isp blocks port 80. [04:54] Alex_21: SCSI drives [04:55] matthew-21: /etc/apache2/ports.conf [04:55] Thank you. [04:56] np [04:56] Oh, Matt, use "Sudo vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf" [04:56] meanwhil I have another question. [04:56] I am running ubuntu desktop edition on my laptops. [04:57] Got to Ubuntu for Laptops and Desktops [04:57] Lol, we don't mind here, but you'll get better support over there [04:57] I have tried to install the server edition onto them from scratch because all I needed was the server apps. installation went ok but at first reboot I got kernel error. [04:58] goksu strange, I'm running server 8.10 on a dell 810 np. [04:59] my question is: does that happen often? the server edition is geared for servers I understand but still it sould boot from a centrino 1.6 and a amd 1.6 [04:59] server 8.10 on a dell poweredge 2450 here at home. other than that RAID1 boot issue, which was pretty easily fixed, no problems at all. [04:59] goksu I've installed server 7x and 8x on all kinds of old desktops with no issues. [05:00] friarduck: I have an hp compaq nx7010 centrino 1.6 and an MSI m673 amd 1.6 running on 1.5 ram. [05:01] both installe dok but no reboot. anyway. I'll ask again when I do a server install on them. :) [05:01] goksu did you use 32-bit on those? [05:03] friartuck: I used 32 bit for the centrino. and 64 bit for the amd turion 64 1.6. [05:03] goksu and neither booted? [05:04] goksu here's recent post on same hardware, install worked: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1047447.html [05:04] friarduck: neither booted. I was a little surprised as one is an old but good laptop, the other one is new but not very high end. [05:06] PhotoJim: I have a couple of those 2450, nice boxes [05:06] friarduck: on the web page you sent. it does not say server. I couldnt boot server editions. but the desktop editions booted without any problems. [05:07] genii: I have two, but one isn't running (has CPUs but no drives or RAM). got them cheap, $50 for the pair. Very pleased so far. [05:07] I dont suspend or hibernate. they are left open 24/7. [05:07] one is anyway. [05:07] Is there a way to share things on an external harddrive using apacheÉ [05:08] matthew-21: apache is a web server, it's not meant to be a file server. but you can do anything on an external drive that you can do on an internal one, using Linux. [05:08] goksu that's strange. server edition should work on anything that desktop works on. I think Murphy's Law having fun with you. [05:10] goksu: you could always try using the desktop alternate install CD. but in theory it shouldn't matter. [05:10] Yes, but my linux server really only has enough room for the os and a few packages and I am not sure how to share web files that are on my external harddrive. [05:11] matthew-21: you can mount filesystems anywhere you like. apache's web content is stored at /var/www. so if you mount an external hard disk partition at /var/www, your web server is using your external drive. [05:12] matthew-21 make a soft link (ln -s) in /var/www? [05:12] That's option 2. [05:12] and option 3 is to get a decent-sized hard disk. terabyte drives are $100-ish US. much smaller drives that are still really quite large are much less. [05:13] 1TB drives are freakin cheap now. [05:13] PhotoJim: I did a desktop install then added the lamp packages. I really like linux flexibility. [05:13] Alex_21: He only has a 10 GB Disk because that is all his web host provides [05:13] goksu: Linux is really awesome. the learning curve is sometimes steep, but I admire it more and more all the time. [05:13] friartuck: I have an acer easystorage 1TB. upgraded to 4TB. [05:14] friartuck: they're cheap enough that I have a pair of them on RAID1 for a home server, when I don't need a quarter of that much space. but it makes no sense to not have the space these days. I can grow into it. [05:14] Alex_21: That was about Matthew-21 [05:15] goksu nice. [05:15] énick matthew211 [05:15] Ok, Matthew-21: where is his external drive mounted [05:15] woops [05:16] PhotoJim I'm sure you will fill that volume :). [05:16] I'll be right back [05:16] friartuck: I have a feeling you're right. :) [05:18] Where is a Hard Drive mounted by default [05:18] ? Please [05:19] If it's not a system drive usually somewhere under /media [05:19] Alex_21 look in /media [05:20] Alex_21: but you can arrange to have it mounted wherever you like. [05:21] Alex_21 you type "mount" with no arguments to see what's mounted. [05:21] Ok [05:21] Thanks [05:23] Is there someone named Matthew-21 or something here? [05:23] Someone who was looking for help with sharing files [05:23] PhotoJim: believe me you grow into it. [05:23] I am doing the same thing [05:24] I was hoping to help. Maybe PM if that was ok [05:25] goksu you in Qatar? [05:26] friarduck: yes I am. [05:26] goksu IT jobs there? [05:26] ubuntu install is asking Activate serial ATA Raid devices yes/no. I say yes. [05:27] friarduck: yes plenty. even the government is looking for IT guys. its growing fast here. not enough qualified ppl., [05:28] friarduck: but funny they have only one IP. the whole country goes out on one IP. [05:29] ok ubuntu instal says Select disk to partition. [05:29] goksu strange. I was working for financial services co. when market tanked. maybe I'll head that way :). Qata nice place? [05:29] goksu how many disks does it present? [05:30] SCSI.CCISS (-,0,0) (cciss/c0d0) - 440.3GB Compaq smart array. [05:30] goksu I'd say your good to go. [05:30] friarduck: It is a very safe place. you leave your back on the car in a garage and come back 2 hours later and it still is there. [05:31] goksu ha ha. nice. [05:31] ok it removes logical volumes root, swap_1 and volume group etc.. [05:32] Hm. Compaq [05:32] you can find anything you look for. but everything takes time. [05:32] goksu I look for job...that's taking long time. =-O [05:33] partitions formating.... [05:33] so the hdds work ok. [05:34] How do I find drie that are plugged in but not mounted? [05:34] Please [05:34] friarduck: you are welcome here. [05:34] THE FORMAT ÝS STUCK ON 33% sorry caps.. [05:35] No, that is fine. It'll pass it eventually [05:35] there are a lot of ppl who work here and come and go as needed. [05:35] How do you find out what drives that are external can be mounted if they aren't [05:35] ? Please [05:35] Lol [05:36] island_swimmer: I dont know. I plug, and it shows. try lusb [05:37] if it does not I unplug and replug. but thats obvious. [05:37] goksu you may need to run a consistency check on the logical volume in the raid setup. it may need to be initialized or something. [05:37] island_swimmer type "mount" to see what's mounted. look in /media for external usb drives. [05:37] friartuck: it is "installing the base system" now. so ok I guess. [05:38] This is a CLI Command-Line install of Ubuntu with no other packages [05:39] Except some ssh and gui tools [05:40] And no it isn't moiunted at all [05:41] Mounted, ... Sorry, nor is it in "/media" [05:44] What can I do [05:44] Lol, ... Please [05:45] island_swimmer do "lsusb" and "mount" and post in pastebin.com [05:45] island_swimmer: sudo fdisk -l should show all the partitions. Likely an external will be sdb1 sdb2 sdc1 sdc2 or so on. Also when: mount is issued it will not be shown as boing mounted anywhere. You could try after finding what partition is something like: sudo mkdir /media/sdc2 && mount /dev/sdc2 /media/sdc2 as an example [05:46] If it completes successfully (in this example for second partition of sdc) then: ls /media/sdc2 would show the disk contents [05:49] island_swimmer: Also if the filesystem on it is not native linux you will need to have filesystem driver for whatever it contains and also specify that in mount command like: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc2 /media/sdc2 or similar [05:54] How do you get a wd's file type? [05:54] It is a WD HD [05:54] Western Digital [05:54] Mybook [05:57] island_swimmer: The: sudo fdisk -l command should have shown you that [05:58] island_swimmer: eg in my case: dev/sda1 * 1 19210 154304293+ 83 Linux shows the drive is Linux (ext3) [05:59] ok Ubuntu server Install onto prolient ml350 G5 raid5 does not work. I can not reboot after installation. I still get attempting boot from hard drive (c:) [06:00] it was an install attempt with no lvm. just regular guided. [06:00] It looks like SDA1 is part of the OS on the Internal Hard Disk. Is that right? [06:00] goksu: As a fast guess I'd say they have some custom MBR which still says something like C: instead of the MBR being based on GRUB [06:00] island_swimmer: Correct [06:01] genii: so what do I do now? [06:01] goksu: Did you install grub to the mbr of the first hd ? [06:02] genii: all I did was install the cd. nothing else. so if the cd did not install then grub did not install. [06:02] Well, I tried the command and it only shows my internal HD [06:02] genii: I did not specifically install grub. [06:02] Is ther a package that has all the drivers for every file type on it? [06:03] island_swimmer: Then it doesnt see the drive. Does it connect by ethernet wire or by usb, or firewire, or what? [06:03] USB 1.1 [06:03] island_swimmer: There isn't a single metapackage I know of that is some "all in one" for filesystems supprt, sorry [06:03] goksu that's strange, I think it's something with the raid/bios setup and probably not to do with ubuntu install. my guess. [06:04] It is some Windows compatable one I know, but I don't know which one [06:04] goksu: Can you make a single small raid1 and then the rest raid5 in bios/controller ? [06:04] Is that why it won't see the drive? [06:05] island_swimmer: If fdisk doesn't see it then it's something at a hardware level and not at some software level like filesystem type or such [06:05] Ok [06:05] I'll check [06:06] goksu: If so, suggest to install /boot and grub to the raid1and the system onto the raid5. [06:07] genii: ok. if nothing else will work. bu I really did not want to have to do a raid1. :S [06:08] goksu: The MBR of a raid1 will be like a normal disk but just twice, so it works with grub. The MBR of a raid 5 can vary wildly [06:08] goksu genii I would check the system bios, that's separate from the raid setup program. [06:09] friartuck: Yes, that may not be a bad idea. It could be also there is a "hidden partition" with system stuff thats causing it [06:09] goksu genii you should be able to do one raid5 volume, I've done it a bunch of times. [06:10] goksu genii but you have system bios program and raid card setup program to deal with. [06:11] the ml350 is brand new from the box. I dont think there is any residue in the hdds. [06:11] friartuck: He has no probs making a raid5 and ubuntu seeing and installing to it. He has some other probs which seem MBR related since it refers to "drive C:" etc etc [06:12] goksu: Is there some other hd in there not int he raid5 which it might be going to first and trying to boot from? [06:12] genii agreed, but maybe there's an onboard raid conflicting with an installed raid card...or maybe bios needs to know about raid card or something. [06:15] genii there is not. [06:16] goksu: There seems something on it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-80342.html which suggests the initramfs needs to preload a driver called cpqarray [06:16] It's an old thread but perhaps still relevent [06:16] Although this would happen after grub [06:18] goksu have you managed to get into system bios program? [06:21] Hi [06:21] friartuck: yes I think so. everything is factory default. I am rereading the manuals from the hp.com site. they dont have any manuals on the cds attached to the box. :S [06:22] goksu: http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1238304153554+28353475&threadId=1237645 [06:22] would it be possible to build a Ubuntu Server that acts as the network firewall and also auto scans everything for malware? [06:23] goksu: Same problem you have answered by their tech support [06:24] genii goksu so you think he should boot off cd and do grub install? [06:25] friartuck: Thats what I'd try, yes [06:25] genii friartuck I'll do that after I reread the manual. [06:28] genii friartuck so I do a "grub-install /dev/cciss/c0d0p1" ?? from a boot from a live cd and from terminal? [06:29] goksu: I'd use the name of the drive you installed to, I think it was different than that one [06:30] genii goksu how would he get the physical? cxdxpx? [06:31] friartuck: fdisk should still list it. I'm gonna scroll up here, he mentioned disk name earlier [06:31] " SCSI.CCISS (-,0,0) (cciss/c0d0) - 440.3GB Compaq smart array." [06:32] genii friartuck so it is the same command then. [06:32] the "p1" on their command is partition1. I'd try just the disk name without partiton specified [06:34] goksu genii I agree. try grub-install /dev/cciss/c0d0 [06:37] genii goksu I've only installed grub with gentoo. just checked the docs and it leaves off the partition there too. [06:50] goksu: Any joy yet? [06:51] genii nope not yet. I am looking for the desktop cd. that one was live. [06:52] * genii makes more coffee [06:52] wow, lots o people [06:53] anyone wanna help me set up a server? [06:53] does it matter if the desktop cd is a 32 bit or not? [06:53] MusicGenious here's a good place to start: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/index.html [06:54] quick question, which version should i use? [06:54] lts or newest release? [06:55] burning 64 bit desktop for grub-install [06:55] i wish there was a puppy linux server edition but ughh nope [06:55] goksu good idea. [06:55] 8.10 or 8.04? [06:55] im putting it on a compaq presario sr1115cl or something [06:56] 14:59 Oh, Matt, use "Sudo vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf" [06:56] I recommend sudoedit instead, since it reduces the amount of stuff that is escalated. [06:56] MusicGenious it's up to you. 8.10 has new packages. 8.04 has longer support. [06:57] will they both allow me to set it up with a dns hostname?... and is that free? [06:57] MusicGenious yes [06:57] i know ubuntu is free, but are host names? [06:57] MusicGenious: or your own network, certainly. [06:58] MusicGenious hmmm...hostname is just the name of you machine. [06:58] i want access anywhere [06:58] like if im at school or wherever [06:58] MusicGenious: then you probably just want to use a gratis dynamic dns service, so you will have something like musicgenious.ath.cx or musicgenious.dyndns.org [06:58] cuz im running on a home network and i got the whole 192.168.x.x thing going lol [06:59] will that be free? [06:59] That will be zero cost. [06:59] WORD!!! [06:59] i.e. free of charge. [06:59] and using this server will let me open and save things to it from wherever? [07:00] MusicGenious: that will give your router a permanent FQDN. You would then use port forwarding to make services visible from the internet. [07:01] ok, that will work, but will i be able to save files to it? [07:01] like if im at school and i do some homework and i wanna upload it, will i be able to do that? [07:02] Thanks for your help [07:02] Good night [07:03] MusicGenious: if you expose that service, and neither you ISP nor your school block your access, then sure. [07:03] MusicGenious the issue is security. making a server available on the internet opens a can of worms. [07:03] friartuck: good point. [07:03] aka people can do whatever they want to it? [07:04] MusicGenious: that depends on your security model. [07:04] MusicGenious if you don't know about security, then yes. [07:04] For example, if you enable remote ssh access via passwords instead of keys, then anyone on the internet can just keep trying passwords until they guess what yours is. Then they have full access to your system running as your user. [07:05] basically heres what im using it for besides my personal use. i have friends over and we record music, and i wanna upload all of our stuff so they can access it and show family and friends and stuff, it'll save on the cost of burning a crap load of cd's lol [07:05] MusicGenious: you realize that is almost certainly a violation of copyright law? [07:06] twb looks like he's talking about originals... [07:06] what is a violation of copyright law? letting people download the music ive recorded that i made myself? [07:06] im not sharing other peoples music, im sharing mine [07:06] MusicGenious: ah, if it's your music, that's OK. [07:06] hence musical genius lol [07:06] MusicGenious not for originals, just don't share Metallica. :) [07:06] yeah or linkin park lol [07:07] m shinoda isnt down with that lol [07:07] Technically copyright only applies to creative works. You could argue that Metallica's albums aren't ;-P [07:07] Aaaanway [07:07] ha ha! not since black [07:07] btw, if you guys are interested www.myspace.com/andyblankfield take a listen, feel free to critique lol [07:07] lol [07:08] friartuck: actually I think their best work was their covers album, garage inc. [07:08] twb Cliff Burton fan? [07:08] thats just me, but im trying to start a music club or whatever and make an album called collaboration generation [07:08] Cliff'em All? [07:08] friartuck: shrug [07:08] friartuck: I don't know much about art. [07:09] I think we've wandered off-topic. [07:09] nahh im waiting for the server edition to dl [07:09] btw how long should this take to set up? [07:09] ok ubuntu desktop 64 bit live cd book ok. :) pretty screen :) [07:09] MusicGenious: you can do an install just using a mini.iso [07:09] roughly [07:09] twb Cliff Burton was original bass player in Metallica. Yeah, it's way off topic. [07:10] its not hooked up to the internet, im using a usb adaptor at the moment [07:10] MusicGenious: ah, fair enough. [07:10] thats another thing, will i be able to use ndiswrapper so i can run it from wireless? [07:11] would it be possible to build a Ubuntu Server that acts as the network firewall and also auto scans everything for malware? [07:11] MusicGenious: ndiswrapper will work as well on Ubuntu Server as it does on Ubuntu. [07:11] never got it working on ubuntu lol [07:11] MusicGenious: precisely. [07:11] but it works on puppy linux... weird [07:12] MusicGenious: I recommend you pay more attention to Linux support when purchasing hardware in future [07:12] lwizardl take a look here: http://www.ipcop.org and here: http://www.smoothwall.org [07:12] lwizardl: that depends on how you define `everything' and `malware'. [07:12] lol, well its not a big deal, its just more convenient... but if i can figure this one out i should be able to build a puppy linux server edition myself lol [07:13] Really, the right way to get rid of malware is to take Windows away from your users. [07:13] lol [07:13] twb, well i have a few windows users on my desktop and i would like to make sure that they stay safe [07:14] lwizardl: that's not really possible. The best you can achieve is a holding action. [07:14] twb, i have enough trouble with her on windows she's almost 60 years old [07:14] lwizardl firewall from scratch is long story. ipcop and smoothwall is short story. [07:14] friartuck: why not ufw? [07:14] friartuck: ultimately they're all just wrappers on top of iptables [07:15] friartuck, i've looked at the ipcop stuff but i would like to also have Tor type setup on the same server machine [07:16] twb true, but ipcop and smoothwall rock. ipcop has plugins for snort and all kinds of stuff. you can do it by hand...but if one is asking in a chat-room then doing by scratch is long ways off. [07:17] lwizardl tor server on a firewall=bad practice. [07:17] genii friartuck I did a boot with livecd 64bit desktop. then did a "grub-install /dev/cciss/c0d0" (also with c0d0p1) I get message "could not find device for /boot: not found or not a block device. [07:17] Routers are for routing and not services. [07:18] friartuck, i don't want to run a tor server for others to access i just want to have all my connections tunneled through it [07:18] goksu: you need --root-directory=/mnt after mounting your root filesystem on /mnt and your boot filesystem on /mnt/boot. [07:18] Does Tor use tun/tap? [07:20] twb: could we go step by step? at the terminal I do what exactly? [07:21] I am not that good with the terminal just yet. :) [07:22] goksu: OK, so you should at present have partitions for the root and /boot filesystems. [07:23] twb he just booted off live cd. [07:23] friartuck: that's why he needs to mount the disks [07:26] goksu do: sudo fdisk -l and past at pastebin.com [07:26] twb friartuck I think I need to go step by step. 1. I booted from a livecd 64bit. it booted ok. 2. at the terminal I do what? the sintax escapes me. [07:27] friartuck: it would be better to get /proc/partitions [07:30]
