[04:55] <captainkirk> Hey, anyone know where I can get OpenNAS download from?
[04:59] <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?
[05:05] <captainkirk> Has anyone had any experience building a NAS using ubuntu?
[05:06] <captainkirk> i have been looking for  a prebuilt distro for a nas system, but have not found anything that will run samba as PDC for windows clients...?
[05:45] <captainkirk> can anyone give suggestions for web based admin for ubuntu server... i have been using webmin successfully, but any thing else to consider?
[05:46] <ScottK> ebox
[05:46] <friartuck> captainkirk don't use webmin. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox
[05:47] <captainkirk> ok... looking into ebox now.. thanks.
[05:54] <captainkirk> is ebox a complete distro... or an add on?
[08:22] <dholbach> hi guys
[08:23] <dholbach> thought you guys should know that ivoks is on http://hall-of-fame.ubuntu.com and might want to click on the "Thank Ante!" link :)
[08:25] <ajmitch> done

[08:34] <cybersplice> Morning.
[09:40] <NineTeen67Comet> Hi 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?
[09:44] <cybersplice> You want the switch connected to the router / firewall, and the firewall / router connected directly to the fiber.
[09:44] <cybersplice> Generally, fiber is provided as raw ethernet if it's not presented as bare fiber.
[09:45] <cybersplice> You could do it all with an Ubuntu server, if you wanted. :)
[09:46] <NineTeen67Comet> Yeah 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] <NineTeen67Comet> GRIN 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).
[09:48] <cybersplice> You 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.
[09:49] <cybersplice> Also: Lucky git for having fiber at home :D
[09:49] <NineTeen67Comet> Well, 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.
[09:50] <cybersplice> Wouldn't need any more hardware.
[09:50] <NineTeen67Comet> Yes fiber in the house .. AWESOME! .. Setting it up took some magic and a little PPPoE action (hate that but it's nice).
[09:50] <cybersplice> iptables 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.
[09:51] <NineTeen67Comet> He wants N service too .. so we'll need an N router (WRT310N is what I suggested to him)
[09:51] <NineTeen67Comet> cybersplice: 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".
[09:52] <cybersplice> NineTeen67Comet: It's really quite simple these days.
[09:52] <cybersplice> google fwbuilder.
[09:52] <NineTeen67Comet> huh, think I might take one of my extra boxes and built a router test box. The more *nix in my life the better ..
[09:55] <NineTeen67Comet> cybersplice: 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 router
[09:55] <kinkie> Hi 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!
[09:56] <kinkie> (note: the LV is already set up and filled with data. The part I'm having trouble with is initramfs)
[09:56] <cybersplice> why do you want seperate N and G routers?
[09:56] <cybersplice> NineTeen67Comet: Yes, you could.
[09:56] <cybersplice> It'd be fairly simple.
[09:57] <NineTeen67Comet> well 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 ..
[09:58] <NineTeen67Comet> His 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] <NineTeen67Comet> minimal .. then he'll all his stuff after I'm done
[09:59] <cybersplice> Fair enough. dnsmasq for dns requests, iproute for routing, fwbuilder on a workstation for firewall policy config
[09:59] <cybersplice> there are loads of guides and examples on the fwbuilder website, and some ready made policies in there
[09:59] <cybersplice> oh and you'll want a dhcp server i suppose
[09:59] <NineTeen67Comet> doesn't the fwbuilder box need several network cards though? to act as a router anyhow?
[09:59] <cybersplice> Yes, but that's not a problem.
[09:59] <cybersplice> :)
[10:01] <cybersplice> Especially in Japan
[10:02] <NineTeen67Comet> thanks 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] <NineTeen67Comet> I've got to go for a bit but thanks again.
[10:04] <NineTeen67Comet> oh, and thanks for the PM .. headed there now
[10:26] <incorrect> auth-client-config profiles don't seem to have the same file format any more,
[11:07]  * kinkie is away: Stuff to do, people to see...
[11:17] <Doble> im 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"
[11:18] <Doble> I'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?
[11:28] <Doble> it seems that installing the LILO boot loader doesn't have a problem, could a BIOS setting cause that?
[11:33] <Doble> could it have something to do with the fact that I'm using LVM?
[11:34] <Kamping_Kaiser> why did grub install fail?
[11:34] <soren> Doble: Did you use the guided partitioning thing?
[11:35] <Doble> soren: yes
[11:35] <soren> Doble: So you have a separate boot partition.. Then it should work fine.
[11:35] <Doble> Kamping_Kaiser: Sorry, it doesn't give me any more information than what I gave above
[11:35] <Doble> soren: yes, a 255mb /boot partition
[11:36] <soren> Doble: Could you jump to vt4 (by pressing alt-f4) and see if there's any interesting error messages there?
[11:36] <Doble> soren: 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 that
[11:41] <Doble> should 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 it
[11:41] <Doble> 2x1.5tb in a RAID 1 controlled by a SAS card I should note
[11:42] <soren> Yes.
[11:42] <soren> You want lvm.
[11:43] <Doble> alright, it's formatting now
[11:59] <Doble> Kamping_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."
[12:00] <Doble> there'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!"
[12:01] <Kamping_Kaiser> Doble, where are you seeing that error?
[12:01] <Doble> i hit Alt+F4 and its the most recent entry in the log
[12:01] <Kamping_Kaiser> ok. good.
[12:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> if its grub1 , afaik it doesnt support LVM
[12:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> so unless /boot/ is off the lvm, you'll need to learn lilo
[12:04] <Doble> .
[12:04] <Doble> boot 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 LVM
[12:06] <Kamping_Kaiser> grub should handle that then. if you hit ctrl+2 you'll get a console. does 'mount' show /target still mounted?
[12:07] <Doble> how do i get back to the installer ? I'm still in the alt-f4 menu
[12:07] <Doble> ctrl+2 just gives me weird characters
[12:08] <Kamping_Kaiser> er, alt+f2 sorry.
[12:08] <Kamping_Kaiser> alt+f1 will get you back to the installer
[12:09] <Doble> okay, i've got 'busybox built in shell'
[12:10] <Doble> when i type 'mount' I get about 10 lines of info, what do you need to know?
[12:11] <Kamping_Kaiser> is /target moutned
[12:12] <Doble> yes, there's a few references to target
[12:12] <Kamping_Kaiser> if you `ls /target/boot/` is there anything in there?
[12:13] <Doble> yes, about 10 files again, one of them is grub
[12:15] <Kamping_Kaiser> thats probably a folder
[12:17] <Doble> yep, it is, has a lot of files in it too :)
[12:18] <Kamping_Kaiser> i'm bemused that /boot/ has 'about 10 files', 5+grub directory is the norm. wonder if its grub 2
[12:18] <Doble> well when I was running the installer before, it gave me the option to try grub2, but I picked grub1 and it still didn't work
[12:25] <Doble> so any ideas ?
[12:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> fraid not. I've not used 9.04 , so i'm not at all familiar with its eccentricities.
[12:37] <Doble> i might try it without LVM
[12:38] <Doble> are there any downsides to using LILO instead of GRUB? I dont know much about either.
[12:48] <Kamping_Kaiser> lilo is close to EOL
[12:48] <Kamping_Kaiser> (in debian)
[12:49] <cybersplice> People still use lilo?
[12:52] <Doble> Kamping_Kaiser: sorry, that doesnt mean a lot to me :)
[12:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> Doble, End of Life
[12:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> cybersplice, indeed, some by choice!
[12:53] <cybersplice> Wow!
[12:53] <Doble> Kamping_Kaiser: ahh ic, thanks
[12:53] <cybersplice> It took me ages to make myself switch to grub.
[13:01] <Doble> interesting - if i run the install without LVM, the grub bootloader installs without any errors
[14:01] <timmillwood> I have just got a new dell rackmount server and want to put Ubuntu on there, is the best way of doing it to plug a monitor, keyboard and mouse up to is and pop the CD in.
[14:15] <sommer> timmillwood: that's what I usually do
[14:32] <Doble> while we're on the topic of dell servers, i have a poweredge R200 at home, I'd like to be able to put it into standby or power it down in some way when I'm not using it, but I need to be able to power it back on again remotely when I need to, is there a way of doing that with ubuntu?
[14:50] <Omahn> Could anyone tell me what the correct format is for the grub-installer/bootdev line when preseeding a RAID1 install?
[14:51] <Omahn> (in Hardy LTS)
[14:51] <ehazlett>  i am testing eucalyptus on ubuntu-server and keep getting this error when trying to start: An attempt by a client to checkout a Connection has timed out. any ideas?
[14:53] <timmillwood> sommer: thanks, guess I'll have to look for a cheap monitor, keyboard and mouse as everyone in the office either has laptops or iMacs.
[14:58] <zoopster> ehazlett: might be better off asking that in #ubuntu-cloud
[14:59] <ehazlett> zoopster: thx
[15:00] <a_c_m> i have a mount command (to mount a folder, instead of using ls) which i need to run at startup, but it needs to run after other mount commands. If it just put it in rc.local that should be fine right?
[15:01] <ball> a_c_m: why not put it in fstab?
[15:01] <a_c_m> ball: could do, not that familar with fstab :)
[15:02] <a_c_m> + little confused as the other mounts in the system dont seem to be there
[15:02] <a_c_m> its on a xen cloud
[15:02] <Doble> how can i check my server's vital info like CPU temperature ?
[15:02] <a_c_m> which may add to the confusion
[15:02] <ball> a_c_m: I'm new to Linux, but in most unices that would be the place to put it.
[15:03] <a_c_m> thanks ball, its where i would assume you put it too - but the disk its mapping the folder for, isnt there and i dont want to try to map a folder on a drive which hasnt yet been mapped itself :)
[15:04] <ball> I'm a bit confused by "folder" too.  What are you doing?
[15:05] <ball> Is this a network share from a Windows machine?
[15:05] <ball> ...or an actual disk drive?
[15:07] <jurjenst> Doble: cat acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature
[15:07] <jurjenst> does that help?
[15:07] <jurjenst> in /proc
[15:09] <ball> temperature:             33 C
[15:09] <ball> woohoo!
[15:09] <ball> I never had that work before.
[15:11] <ball> jurjenst: thanks a lot for that.
[15:11] <jurjenst> ball: np
[15:13] <Doble> jurjenst: sorry, when I go to /proc/acpi/thermal_zone the directory is empty
[15:16] <jurjenst> doble: staat /etc/init.d/acpid gestart? die is waarschijnlijk hiervoor nodig
[15:18] <jurjenst> doble: sorry was reading the site in dutch.. the deamon is probably needed for that
[15:19] <Doble> okay, i've started the daemon
[15:19] <Doble> still nothing in the thermal_zone directory
[15:20] <ball> Doble: is this an old machine?
[15:20] <Doble> ball: no, its a brand-new Dell PowerEdge R200
[15:21] <ball> Doble: so much for that theory then
[15:21] <Doble> :)
[15:25] <Doble> nevermind, i have to head to bed
[15:25] <Doble> thanks folks, ciao
[15:26] <henkjan> bah, nrpe ignores ""
[15:27] <jurjenst> hmm.. there is a open bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/120615 about other people with this problem
[15:28] <jurjenst> the won't fix is for an older kernel version :)
[15:42] <reid> hmm, can anyone give me an idea why my server load would be 18.91, yet neither of my processor's seems to be working very hard?  lol
[15:42] <reid> ie. under 20% capacity according to htop
[15:48] <cybersplice> reid: isn't load an average of memory, cpu, and free disk space?
[15:48] <ikonia> reid: it's an average snapshot
[15:48] <ikonia> reid: it will go down with time if your server is no longer busy
[15:49] <_ruben> cybersplice: not free disk space, but disk io does play a role :)

[17:49] <bn43> hi all I have removed ebox from my intrepid server and having a problem logging in - takes a while to log in after password entered - auth log shows something along the lines of CRON[#] for various lines before session opened - can someone help?
[18:45] <c_korn> hello, this is the output of ssh -vvv when I want to connect to a server with pubkey authentification. I transfered the public key to the server using ssh-copy-id. http://paste.ubuntu.com/159515/ especially the line "we did not send a packet, disable method" confuses me
[18:50] <genii> c_korn: Does ~/.ssh/identity                    file exist? (lin 94 of paste suggests not)
[18:51] <c_korn> genii: local or on the server?
[18:52] <genii> c_korn: On the box you are ssh-ing out from
[18:54] <c_korn> genii: no, it does not exist
[19:48] <Ethos> Can anyone recommend a decent irc bouncer for ubuntu?
[19:53] <awkfu> ..
[20:10] <bn43> hi I am redoing a server that had software raid on it - I now want to resize the raid partitions but partitioner is not allowing me to remove/delete existing partitions - why is this?
[20:10] <Nafallo> because they are in use? :-
[20:10] <Nafallo> )
[20:11] <bn43> Nafallo: but I am boot off a cd
[20:12] <Nafallo> ah. was just guessing based on the information I had :-)
[20:12] <bn43> ok how do I get them off use?
[20:12] <Nafallo> check that I was right first? :-)
[20:12] <bn43> oh ok - no - I am boot off a server cd and redoing the partition tables
[20:13] <bn43> is there a way I tell the partitioner to wipe the existing partition tables and start afresh?
[20:16] <jmedina> bn43: use wipe command :D
[20:16] <jmedina> or you can use dd
[20:16] <jmedina> :D
[20:16] <bn43> I am currently on the install screen
[20:17] <bn43> go into another console?
[20:17] <jmedina> why not remove the partitions from the partition tool?
[20:17] <bn43> jmedina: it is not allowing me]
[20:18] <bn43> 'there was an error deleting the multidisk device. it maybe in use'
[20:19] <jmedina> multidisk device?
[20:19] <jmedina> what is htat?
[20:19] <bn43> yeah I previous had a software raid setup on the disks
[20:25] <Nafallo> hmm
[20:25] <Nafallo> I need to do some funky stuff with my raid stuff once I get a sane quote
[20:26] <Nafallo> I guess a plan would be to degrade the current mdraid and then create a degraded hardware raid and start moving stuff over.
[20:26] <Nafallo> then make the new hardware raid rebuild with the information on there.
[20:27] <Nafallo> and hope customers won't overload the server during the rebuild ;-)
[20:38] <bn43> ok discovered that if I redid the patitions in new size software raid and did not touch existing software raid configuration it went ahead
[20:39] <bn43> strange
[20:51] <bn43> hi I'm using software raid on a pc and have gotten right the disabling drive and system boots off the remaining disks - I've read however that disconnecting a drive while live does not keep system live - you have to reboot -anyone had experience here?
[21:15] <hagedorn> hey, its possible to suppress apache2 internal server error delivery and instead of error 500 sent nothing ?
[21:23] <gewt> i find it weird i have no flopy block device.
[21:24] <gewt> i have no /dev/fd0...
[21:24] <gewt> any clues why I wouldn't?
[21:24] <gewt> the floppy kernel module doesn't exist...
[21:24] <gewt> er
[21:25] <gewt> it says no such device rather
[21:26] <gewt> oh eyah...
[21:26] <gewt> i disabled the floppy drive

[23:26] <jmedina> theuser1_: configure a DNS server, you can use bind9
[23:26] <jmedina> theuser1_: there are instructions in ubuntu server guide
[23:26] <dasunsrule321> I could use some help with POSTFIX & DOVECOT
[23:27] <dasunsrule321> I try and run telnet hostname 25 and immediately get kicked
[23:27] <theuser1_> jmedina:  how to configure. whats bind9?
[23:27] <dasunsrule321> Have ran through the guide in chap 12
[23:27] <dasunsrule321> 13
[23:28] <jmedina> theuser1_: read ubuntu server guide
[23:28] <theuser1_> jmedina: iam talking about the .com dsn end. not the server
[23:28] <theuser1_> jmedina:  how to control the control pannel
[23:28] <theuser1_> jmedina: how to make records. or enter host names/ips
[23:29] <jmedina> control pannel?, this is not cpanel support
[23:29] <theuser1_> where cani ffind one
[23:30] <mathiaz> theuser1_: you should probably ask the company you've purchased your domain from.
[23:30] <theuser1_> ok
[23:30] <jmedina> theuser1_: I think I dont understand, probably you need to ask your registar about that
