[00:16] Anyone in here familiar with Windows Server 2003? === mathiaz_ is now known as mathiaz [00:24] Wouldn't that dump all their home files to /var/www and change the user/guid to their login then another person's login etc etc .. there are going to be 5 or 6 people ftp'ing this server .. === Bambi_BOFH is now known as Kamping_Kaiser [02:30] Hi.. If I wanted to set up my network in such a way as WAN---->ubuntu-server---->router----> how would I accomplish this on the server, given that I have 2 NIC cards in it [02:30] reid: you want your server to act as a router, or a bridge, or what? [02:30] well, my server is currently a torrentbox/fileserver, but it has SERIOUS trouble working from behind the router [02:31] so that is my incentive, im not sure how to execute it properly =P [02:31] ok, well, I can't design your network for you [02:31] do you have multiple IPs from your ISP, or just one? [02:31] just one [02:31] then you can't really do what you want to do [02:31] =( [02:31] without making everything more messy [02:32] lol, looks like I have to find out why my torrents are moving so ridiculously slow on my server then when its behind the router [02:32] your ports probably aren't properly configured and forwarded [02:32] I literally get a difference of 900 k/s in front, but only 100 k/s behind [02:32] and therefore, you're only getting local peers [02:32] and not remote peers [02:33] well, afaik they are configured [02:33] well I'm telling you that they probably aren't [02:33] on the router I'm forwarding 30000-30100 to the server, and those are the ports that bittornado is listening on [02:33] it accounts for 95-99% of the time there's a speed issue [02:34] well it's possible that bittornado is listening on other ports, I don't know [02:34] it's not a very good torrent client [02:34] well, I'm using it for torrentflux [02:34] yeah [02:34] that doesn't make it a better torrent client :) [02:35] lol [02:35] do you know of a similar solution as torrentflux, that uses a different client? [02:35] you could try rtorrent [02:35] and a web-based frontend for it [02:36] *drool* rtorrent [02:36] unlike bittornado, it's actively developed [02:37] do you need a web frontend? [02:37] or would a console interface work ok? [02:38] well, a web frontend would be nice. but then again the only reason I want this server would be to output the movies and stuff remotely to my HDTV [02:38] most likely via rdesktop =P [02:38] and a web frontend doesn't really help me do that [02:39] well there are web-based frontends for libtorrent (rtorrent's base code) [02:39] or you can use rtorrent, which is a console interface [02:39] there are even desktop apps that can connect to rtorrent/libtorrent remotely [02:39] plenty of options [02:39] http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/UtilsList [02:40] awesome, thanks a lot man.. opened my eyes hah. maybe Torrentflux just sucks [02:40] been pullin out my hair trying to get it to work properly lol [02:40] torrentflux doesn't suck ... it just doesn't support decent torrent clients [02:40] yeah [02:43] apt-get install rtorrent and you're done :) [02:47] lol [02:47] imma ssh to my server right now and do just that, and see if its something I could handle long-term [02:48] the console interface takes some getting used to [02:48] if you don't like it -- just use a web interface [02:48] yeah torrentflux is in the repos though lol [02:48] im so lazy [02:50] rtpg-www is in the repos too [02:50] (one of the web frontends for rtorrent) [02:55] oh, its only in jaunty repo though huh [02:59] guess so [02:59] it's really not hard to install a web frontend though [02:59] you should learn [03:00] May I ask a question? [03:00] !ask [03:00] 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. :-) [03:01] I have a new Ubuntu server - I installed SNMP client, was told it was installed, but no /etc/snmp. I tried removing and reinstaling, same result - I am new to Ubuntu and not sure where to start looking to see what went wrong [03:02] LapLander: what package did you install? [03:02] used apt-get install snmp scli tkmib [03:03] well why are you looking in /etc/? [03:03] what are you looking for, exactly? [03:03] Where else should I find /etc/snmp/snmp.conf - according to the man I was reading, that is where it gets configured after install [03:04] what manpage? [03:04] I am a few days away - will have to retrace my steps to find that [03:05] ok ... well are you not using the apps you just installed? [03:05] I'm not sure what function snmp.conf might serve -- but surely if you don't even know why you want it ... you don't need it [03:05] the 'snmp' package provides a wealth of snmp client utilities [03:06] I presume they're what you're looking for -- why not run them? [03:08] The ones I have tried act like SNMP is not installed - no response is what I get to the snmp queries I try [03:08] ok wait [03:08] what do mean they "act like SNMP is not installed"? [03:08] the utilities are only there, and can be run because you installed the snmp package [03:09] are you confusing the server with clients? [03:09] Isn't snmp.conf where the community string is set [03:09] I think you're confusing roles here [03:09] I don't think so [03:09] heh [03:09] snmp is a set of query utilities, nothing more [03:10] it's not the agent itself [03:11] maybe you're looking for 'snmpd' [03:11] which is the agent [03:12] which you configure in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf [03:13] Ok, I guess I misunderstood - thanks for clarifying it [03:13] no problem [06:07] hello all [06:08] is there a way to use ubuntu server to broadcast internet radio? === pquarles is now known as p_quarles === pquarles is now known as p_quarles === pquarles is now known as p_quarles [08:53] hi [08:53] does ubuntu server 8.04 use alsa or oss or how do i find out on my system? [09:13] is there a way to see what process is using a sound device is ALSA? [09:39] SockPants: lsof /dev/snd [13:20] i have shoutcast configured on my linuxbox but for some reason i cant start the server i keep getting bash: ./sc_serv: no such file or directory and i am in the directory where i have shoutcast [13:50] is it possible to mount (non-block) disk image via fstab? getting error that says it tries to mount disk image before parent partition... [14:43] Hey, [14:43] i have a squid proxy server running [14:44] but when i try to use it from another network i get a access denied message shown [14:44] why is thi [14:50] New bug: #363729 in openvpn (universe) "openvpn crashes under high load" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/363729 [14:53] MiddleOfNowhere: Check out #windows [15:45] Hi, does anyone know how I can configure the netatalk package on my server to mount a directory other than the home directory by default to my finder? [15:50] !weekend | matt1211 [15:50] matt1211: It's a weekend. Often on weekends, the paid developers, and a lot of the community, may not be around to answer your question. Please be patient, wait longer than you normally would, or try again during the working week. [15:51] matt1211: also, netatalk ... is not the most common package ... you'd be better off reading their documentation, or finding their support channel === `6og is now known as Kamping_Kaiser [16:52] hmm, where did main.cf go from the postfix package in jaunty? [16:52] am I missing something obvious? [16:54] Is there a package for ubuntu that fixes permissions for users? [16:54] matt1211: In what sense? [16:54] matt1211: what do you mean by "fixes"? [16:56] Well, when I try and create a user with my admin account on ubuntu, it says account expired, pam authorization failed. I tried with root user and the same thing happens. [16:56] how did you create the user? what command, exactly, was used? [16:57] sudo adduser username [16:57] And when you log in to "username", it's expired? [16:57] That usually indicated a clock issue. [16:57] (ie: your computer thinks it's 1900?) [16:57] could be dead CMOS [16:57] matt1211: run "date" at the command line [16:58] paste the output here [16:58] *shrug* ... S'why I run ntpdate on boot, and ntpd during runtime. [16:58] Half my machines don't know what time it is when they're off. :P [16:59] that's not good [16:59] Nah, it's just that I have a lot of machines that don't have battery-backed clocks. [16:59] date [16:59] Sun Apr 19 08:59:01 PDT 2009 [17:00] that's the output [17:00] Okay, so it's not clock skew. Fun. [17:00] matt1211: When do you get the error? When you create the user, or when you try to log in with it? [17:00] when I create the user [17:00] Oh, that's kinda special. [17:01] it says "pam authorization failed" when you create the user? [17:01] really? [17:07] yes, that's the error I get. how can I fix it? is there a way to reinstall those functions or something? [17:08] What does "passwd -S username" output? [17:09] do this on a user that I have tried to create? [17:09] Yes. [17:09] Or just my admin one [17:09] Unless it's not actually creating them at all...? [17:10] no it creates them [17:10] sort of [17:10] Kay. Then yes, "passwd -S " [17:13] it says test P and then a date. [17:13] .... [17:13] test is the username [17:13] Can't copy and paste the line? [17:13] Looking for something like "adconrad P 05/13/2008 0 99999 7 -1" [17:13] il try [17:14] test P 04/19/2009 0 99999 7 -1 [17:14] Okay, none of that looks like an expired password. "grep test /etc/passwd" to see if the account is set expired? [17:15] (Should be something like "test:x:1002:1002:Test User,,,:/home/test:/bin/bash") [17:15] The "x" for the second field is what I'm curious about. [17:17] test /etc/passwd [17:17] test:x:1007:1007::/home/test:/bin/bash [17:18] that is what I got [17:19] Okay, I'm at a loss. It all looks fine. [17:20] What's exact pam error when you create a user? [17:20] (And it is when you run "adduser" right, not when you're running "sudo somecommand"?) [17:21] can I just reinstall the part of ubuntu that deals with creating users or something? [17:21] Your user is being created fine. [17:21] This is why I'm trying to figure out what your actual problem is. [17:22] When do you get the PAM error, exactly? After adduser has run and asked you all the questions, or before the questions? [17:22] And do you have the exact error to copy and paste, rather than paraphrasing? [17:24] chfn: PAM authentication failed [17:24] adduser: `/usr/bin/chfn test' returned error code 1. Exiting. [17:26] does that mean anything? [17:26] That doesn't look like the "account expired" you were previously describing... [17:28] that is above it, it just says your account has expired, please contact your system administrator. [17:28] Ah-ha. [17:29] Right, this is due to you having unlocked and subsequently half-broken your root account. [17:29] okay, is there a way to fix it? [17:29] or do I have to reinstall ubuntu. [17:30] Try: [17:30] sudo passwd --unlock root [17:30] sudo usermod --lock root [17:30] (It's a sketchy workaround for how we deal with locked/unlocked root accounts) [17:32] Basically, I'm assuming that at one point you set a root password, then you re-locked root witn "passwd -l root", as various HOWTOs out there say you should? [17:32] That completely breaks how PAM authenticates the root account. [17:32] that fixed it, thanks! [17:32] "sudo passwd --unlock root; sudo usermod --lock root" should return yout root account to the more-or-less pristine locked state it was in when you installed the system.

[20:15] Hi, how can I find the password to my mysql root user? I forget what I set it as. [20:18] anyone has upgraded to jaunty-server ? [20:19] matt1211: You can't find it if you didn't put it anywhere, but you can reset it. [20:20] okay, how do I do that? [20:21] http://www.howtoforge.com/reset-forgotten-mysql-root-password has the reasonably simple instructions. [20:30] ah, just a question what is the command to stop and start mysql? I think its /etc/init but I'm not sure about the rest [20:31] /etc/init.d/mysql restart [20:38] ah this crap aint workin :( [20:40] Might want sudo with that init.d command [20:42] what is the difference in openssh and sshd? [20:42] cheleo: I haven't done an upgrade, but I have a jaunty server or two, yes [20:42] theuser1: the client and the server [20:46] how can I reinstall mysql package? the instructions for resetting the root passwd are not working for me. [20:47] matt1211: you don't need to reinstall mysql [20:47] that's serious overkill [20:47] ? [20:48] http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting-permissions-unix [20:48] there is the official documentation [20:48] it's going to work [20:48] if you follow it [20:48] how can I change password then, I forgot mine and instructions are not working. [20:49] ah [20:49] what "didn't work"? [20:49] be more specific [20:49] there were only 3 steps in the first set of instructions you were given -- was an error returned? what happened? [20:50] instructions from this url. http://www.howtoforge.com/reset-forgotten-mysql-root-password [20:50] yes ... be specific about what "didn't work" [20:50] had trouble with the part just after the odd restart. [20:51] matt1211: I've asked you repeatedly to be specific [20:51] "had trouble" is nowhere near specific enough [20:53] okay, I restarted the mysql database and bypassed the tables, and went into it with the root user, but when I typed the update user command to change the password, and the flush command, it didn't give any errors, but when I restarted the password still hadn't changed. [20:53] it didn't tell you to restart mysql [20:53] it told you to shut it down, and then start safe mode [20:54] I did start it in safe mode. [20:55] you probably typoed somewhere [20:55] here's yet another guide: http://www.nixexp.com/index.php/2006/12/16/how-can-i-reset-mysql-root-password-root-password-recovery/ [20:55] hm.. its not even trying to pull down its tftp image [20:55] thats whats crazy about it [20:55] a1fa: that implies a typo in the config, or a bad setup [20:56] all looks good [20:56] tripple checked it [20:56] it pulls pxelinux.0 [20:57] and thats it [20:57] well clearly something isn't good :) [20:58] where'd you get your netboot files from?

[21:05] does it present an error? [21:05] cant find pxelinux.cfg boot image [21:05] but when i do it manually its there [21:06] well I'd stick a network tap around the pxe machine and watch every packet going in and out [21:06] and see if it's not looking in the right place [21:07] Okay, that worked, thank you for your help! [21:08] matt1211: in the future, with mysql-specific stuff, that isn't ubuntu related -- check out #mysql [21:09] i got a tap up [21:09] a1fa: great, do a full packet dump [21:09] and I'll take a look at it [21:09] okay, I'll do that.
