Asphalt Hey all, yesterday I setup a Samba server which authenticates over LDAP (basically emulating a Windows DC) Everything is going well, but excel files are not saving with the permission that they are being opened with.  I am sure this has to do with a setting in Samba config, can anyone point me in the right direction to help?04:59

NineTeen67CometHi all. I'm helping a friend get a music studio up and he would like to provide G and N wifi to his customers (with login) as well as run his web server in house (building) via fiber ISP provided internet. Does anyone have suggestions for how to hook this up? I suggested the WRT54GL with Tomato inside for G, what ever he wants for an N router and a switch connected right to the fiber box. Good? bad?09:40
cyberspliceYou want the switch connected to the router / firewall, and the firewall / router connected directly to the fiber.09:44
cyberspliceGenerally, fiber is provided as raw ethernet if it's not presented as bare fiber.09:44
cyberspliceYou could do it all with an Ubuntu server, if you wanted. :)09:45
NineTeen67CometYeah the fiber comes in then goes to a CTU (basically a router) with 4 ports on the back. In my house (We're in Japan) I only use one port to my WRT54GL then that goes to a WRT54G v6, web server, 8 port HUB and our Vonage.09:46
NineTeen67CometGRIN I told him we could build a router box/computer for him. He said an Ubuntu-server web server would be fine (He has heard about my up times and loved it).09:46
cyberspliceYou could, for example, use a box for firewall / router /webserver, firewall it with fwbuilder (nice gui), and use some kind of simple radius setup for NAC if your wireless APs support it.09:48
cyberspliceAlso: Lucky git for having fiber at home :D09:49
NineTeen67CometWell, the only hardware he's purchased so far is the WRT54GL (I just love that thing with Tomato) and a web server (couple year old HP). I told him I would pick you guys brains for network ideas to get his building setup.09:49
cyberspliceWouldn't need any more hardware.09:50
NineTeen67CometYes fiber in the house .. AWESOME! .. Setting it up took some magic and a little PPPoE action (hate that but it's nice).09:50
cyberspliceiptables is built into the kernel, and is probably one of the most competent firewalls on the market, even when compared to things like FW-1 and Pix.09:50
NineTeen67CometHe wants N service too .. so we'll need an N router (WRT310N is what I suggested to him)09:51
NineTeen67Cometcybersplice: I'll peek into it. I tried using RH8 back in 2002'ish as a router and failed miserably .. ended up using some gui to get it up but it never worked "great".09:51
cyberspliceNineTeen67Comet: It's really quite simple these days.09:52
cybersplicegoogle fwbuilder.09:52
NineTeen67Comethuh, think I might take one of my extra boxes and built a router test box. The more *nix in my life the better ..09:52
NineTeen67Cometcybersplice: so basically I could go fiber/Ubuntu Server - fwbuilder with several NICs inside then hook an N router, G router and the web server to it? .. that'd be a nice one.09:55
* NineTeen67Comet maybe 3 NICs .. web server, n router and g router09:55
kinkieHi all. I have a kubuntu jaunty installed on a physical partition (/dev/sda1) which I'd like to move to a lvm-backed rootfs. So far I'm failing, any hints on how to do it? Thanks!09:55
kinkie(note: the LV is already set up and filled with data. The part I'm having trouble with is initramfs)09:56
cybersplicewhy do you want seperate N and G routers?09:56
cyberspliceNineTeen67Comet: Yes, you could.09:56
cyberspliceIt'd be fairly simple.09:56
NineTeen67Cometwell if he uses an N router and a G person hooks on it'll drop all to G .. if he uses one each he can keep his N notebooks on the N and the G on the G ..09:57
NineTeen67CometHis studio is all Mac (well, the occasional MS stalker peeks in, but usually not for long) .. and I'm the Linux guy so he's getting an Ubuntu server and two Ubuntu workstations.09:58
NineTeen67Cometminimal .. then he'll all his stuff after I'm done09:58
cyberspliceFair enough. dnsmasq for dns requests, iproute for routing, fwbuilder on a workstation for firewall policy config09:59
cybersplicethere are loads of guides and examples on the fwbuilder website, and some ready made policies in there09:59
cyberspliceoh and you'll want a dhcp server i suppose09:59
NineTeen67Cometdoesn't the fwbuilder box need several network cards though? to act as a router anyhow?09:59
cyberspliceYes, but that's not a problem.09:59
cybersplice:)09:59
cyberspliceEspecially in Japan10:01
NineTeen67Cometthanks for the ideas cybersplice .. I'm on the lookout now .. hehehe .. I've got a lot of extra computers laying around .. perfect candidates for a router ...10:02

Dobleim trying to install ubuntu server 9.04 on a Dell PowerEdge R200 server, and at the end of the install I recieve the error "Unable to install grub in (hd0) - Executing grub-install (hd0) failed. This is a fatal error"11:17
DobleI'm new to linux but have done a few installs before and have never seen this so I don't have a clue what to do ... help anyone?11:18
Dobleit seems that installing the LILO boot loader doesn't have a problem, could a BIOS setting cause that?11:28
Doblecould it have something to do with the fact that I'm using LVM?11:33
Kamping_Kaiserwhy did grub install fail?11:34
sorenDoble: Did you use the guided partitioning thing?11:34
Doblesoren: yes11:35
sorenDoble: So you have a separate boot partition.. Then it should work fine.11:35
DobleKamping_Kaiser: Sorry, it doesn't give me any more information than what I gave above11:35
Doblesoren: yes, a 255mb /boot partition11:35
sorenDoble: Could you jump to vt4 (by pressing alt-f4) and see if there's any interesting error messages there?11:36
Doblesoren: I just used LILO to see if it would work, so I'm just loading the install again, give me a minute and I will try that11:36
Dobleshould I use LVM? my server is already at capacity, it has room for 2 hard drives, and im already using 2x 1.5tb drives, is there any benefit to using LVM as I have no experience with it11:41
Doble2x1.5tb in a RAID 1 controlled by a SAS card I should note11:41
sorenYes.11:42
sorenYou want lvm.11:42
Doblealright, it's formatting now11:43
DobleKamping_Kaiser: okay i have the error now, it reads "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly." - "error: Running 'grub-install --no-floppy "(hd0)"' failed."11:59
Doblethere's also one a bit further up the log that reads "You shouldn't call /sbin/grub-install. Please call /usr/sbin/grub-install instead!"12:00
Kamping_KaiserDoble, where are you seeing that error?12:01
Doblei hit Alt+F4 and its the most recent entry in the log12:01
Kamping_Kaiserok. good.12:01
Kamping_Kaiserif its grub1 , afaik it doesnt support LVM12:02
Kamping_Kaiserso unless /boot/ is off the lvm, you'll need to learn lilo12:02
Doble.12:04
Dobleboot is off the LVM - I used guided partitioning and it created the lvm with two partitions and then /boot was on a partition of its own outside the LVM12:04
Kamping_Kaisergrub should handle that then. if you hit ctrl+2 you'll get a console. does 'mount' show /target still mounted?12:06
Doblehow do i get back to the installer ? I'm still in the alt-f4 menu12:07
Doblectrl+2 just gives me weird characters12:07
Kamping_Kaiserer, alt+f2 sorry.12:08
Kamping_Kaiseralt+f1 will get you back to the installer12:08
Dobleokay, i've got 'busybox built in shell'12:09
Doblewhen i type 'mount' I get about 10 lines of info, what do you need to know?12:10
Kamping_Kaiseris /target moutned12:11
Dobleyes, there's a few references to target12:12
Kamping_Kaiserif you `ls /target/boot/` is there anything in there?12:12
Dobleyes, about 10 files again, one of them is grub12:13
Kamping_Kaiserthats probably a folder12:15
Dobleyep, it is, has a lot of files in it too :)12:17
Kamping_Kaiseri'm bemused that /boot/ has 'about 10 files', 5+grub directory is the norm. wonder if its grub 212:18
Doblewell when I was running the installer before, it gave me the option to try grub2, but I picked grub1 and it still didn't work12:18
=== MohammadBoozary is now known as Mohammad[B]
Dobleso any ideas ?12:25
Kamping_Kaiserfraid not. I've not used 9.04 , so i'm not at all familiar with its eccentricities.12:30
Doblei might try it without LVM12:37
Dobleare there any downsides to using LILO instead of GRUB? I dont know much about either.12:38
Kamping_Kaiserlilo is close to EOL12:48
Kamping_Kaiser(in debian)12:48
cybersplicePeople still use lilo?12:49
DobleKamping_Kaiser: sorry, that doesnt mean a lot to me :)12:52
Kamping_KaiserDoble, End of Life12:53
Kamping_Kaisercybersplice, indeed, some by choice!12:53
cyberspliceWow!12:53
DobleKamping_Kaiser: ahh ic, thanks12:53
cyberspliceIt took me ages to make myself switch to grub.12:53
Dobleinteresting - if i run the install without LVM, the grub bootloader installs without any errors13:01
