[00:00] my ifconfig eth0: www.pastebin.com/f13cc0177 [00:01] hmmm. the link says: " * Unknown post id, it may have expired or been deleted " [00:01] which one? [00:02] both [00:02] links* [00:02] hm, they work in here in links [00:03] weird [00:04] sending you through dcc [00:05] SFauconnier: well, i guess i'm still an IRC newbie. how do i receive/view the sent files through dcc? what is dcc? [00:05] what irc client do you use? === mac9416 is now known as macBusy [00:06] irssi [00:07] type in /dcc get sfauconnier eth0 [00:07] and /dcc get sfauconnier dhcpd.conf [00:09] ok, done. where do i find them? [00:09] good question [00:09] aah. in my home dir [00:09] I suppose somewhere in ~/.irssi [00:09] or in your home dir [00:09] have no idea [00:11] you can set it with /set dcc_download_path [00:11] yeah, default is ~ [00:11] ok, hang on. let me have a look [00:11] k, thanks [00:11] what command do i append to a cli command to pipe output to a file? [00:12] captainkirk: ">" to write to a file overwriting it, ">>" to append to a file [00:13] SFauconnier: is that your complete dhcpd.conf file? [00:13] yes [00:14] heguru: ok, good, is it possible to add a variable in the command like 'todaysdate' so each time command is run it autocreates a new filename to output to? [00:16] heguru: like command > uniquefilename.log [00:17] SFauconnier: what did u set your eth1 to? what IP do u see when u type ifconfig eth1 ? [00:18] 192.168.1.1 [00:18] that's odd. what does ifconfig eth0 give u? [00:19] ow [00:19] that was eth0 [00:19] eth1 gives me my fixed IP [00:19] captainkirk: yourcommand > `date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.txt [00:19] so eth1 is still connected to your modem, then? [00:20] yes [00:20] captainkirk: this would give you a filename of YEARmonthDateHourMinSecond.txt [00:20] arrgh. [00:21] ok, in your /etc/default/dhcp3-server file change INTERFACES="eth1" to "INTERFACES="eth0" [00:21] SFauconnier: then try to restart your dhcp [00:22] k, it started [00:22] has an 'ok'! :o) [00:22] cool. on your client type: sudo dhclient [00:22] k [00:23] done [00:23] SFauconnier: it should spit out an IP at the end of the output. 192.168-something [00:23] right? [00:24] "bound to 192.168.1.10 -- renewal in 248 seconds" you mean that? [00:24] awesome. so dhcp's working [00:24] yeah [00:24] now try pinging google from your client [00:24] ping www.google.com [00:24] heguru !! thanks..!! [00:25] doesnt output anything, just hangs [00:25] wait [00:25] I shall restart my switch, had trouble with that earlier [00:25] ok [00:26] it hangs for about a minute and then says: "ping: unknown host www.google.com" [00:26] also, what does ifconfig eth1 give u? [00:26] on my client? [00:26] no, server [00:26] can anyone suggest a good webstats app? like webalizer, but something that outputs more info and looks better than webalizer? [00:27] dayo: my fixed IP [00:27] SFauconnier: what is it? [00:27] 81.82.203.26 [00:28] heguru. it seems to taking the text literally and creating file name exactly as typed instead of converting to Y m d etc [00:29] billybigrigger: have u tried awstats [00:30] captainkirk: did you use ` instead of ' ? [00:30] SFauconnier: sudo /sbin/route add -net 192.168.1.0/24 gw 81.82.203.26 [00:30] captainkirk: not a single quotation mark, but ` (usually located before number 1 key) [00:30] heguru... i used ' not `, so which is correct? [00:30] SFauconnier: and then /etc/init.d/networking restart [00:30] heguru. ok trying that now [00:30] captainkirk: use ` [00:30] dayo: done [00:31] SFauconnier: try pinging [00:31] captainkirk, nope, but i will [00:31] still hangs [00:31] should I restart services first? [00:31] yeah [00:31] heguru: the ` has fixed it... thanks, [00:32] captainkirk, installed awstats from repos, anything i have to configure or where does it spit the index.html out? [00:32] still hangs [00:33] brb [00:33] which is strange btw, it didnt before [00:34] billybigrigger: i have not used awstats on linux, only under apache on windows... 'eeeek' anyway.. the output and info was good. [00:36] before it could find the domain's ip but had 100% packet loss [00:38] can anyone explain this entry in the syslog file ---- May 5 06:50:13 emerald2 syslogd 1.5.0#1ubuntu1: restart. [00:53] this server is killing me, have to get up in 5 hours [00:57] anyone able to tell me why there is no tab-completion for apt-get on my ubuntu-server? [00:58] I have it on this lappy running desktop [00:59] reid: what ubuntu version are you using? [01:00] 8.10 [01:01] OemConfigServer seems nice. Has anyone here actually tried it? [01:02] SFauconnier: I have bash-completion installed as well, tab-completion works for everything that isn't apt-get [01:02] reid: what output does "cat /etc/bash_completion | grep apt-get" give you? [01:04] SFauconnier: turns out fine.. I think the reason why is because I was trying to tab-complete as root [01:06] yes, won't work in root [01:07] reid: is there a reason why you're logged in as root? [01:07] giovani: because its a server, and I'm doing stuff over sh, and rather than typing sudo over and over again, I'm just sudo su'd [01:08] giovani: but its ok, I fixed it, I just needed to do ". /etc/bash_completion" as root [01:08] heh [01:08] sh = ssh =P [01:08] yeah, sudo allows for much more accountability [01:09] not doing anything dangerous, just moving files around in directories that I'd rather not chmod to 777 [01:09] ... why would you ever chmod 777? [01:09] sounds like you don't have a proper group setup [01:10] because torrentflux requires its download folder to be 777 [01:10] yet I like to keep them in places that are not 777 [01:10] for obvious reasons [01:10] why would it require that? [01:10] that doesn't make any sense [01:11] because it has users that are not actual users on the server, they are only torrentflux webclient users [01:11] uh [01:11] but the process is running as a single user on the system [01:11] nobody cares about torrentflux users [01:11] that's not a permissions issue [01:12] for some reason or another, it is required to put files in a directory that is 777, it will not work if you don't. In this file it creates its web-user directories [01:13] sounds like there's a lack of understanding on someone's part here [01:13] this is often how insecurity comes to be [01:13] sounds like torrentflux specifically says "This directory MUST be chmodded to 777" [01:13] =/ [01:13] sounds like there's a lack of understanding on their part ... :) [01:13] oh = [01:13] =P [01:13] where does it say that, btw? [01:14] on the admin page where you set the download dir [01:14] if you try to set a 755 or something to it, then it doesn't let you save settings [01:14] right ... [01:14] because your groups haven't been set up properly [01:15] Define the PATH where the downloads will go [01:15] (make sure it ends with a / [slash]). It must be chmod'd to 777: [01:15] thats the exact wording on the page [01:15] ok [01:15] I believe you [01:15] it's just probably what they feel is the easiest way to get it set up [01:15] albeit insecure, and stupid [01:15] I'd really advise you to look at alternatives to torrentflux though [01:15] rtorrent and its guis are nice [01:16] torrentflux just has some features that I really like, since I have about 20 people who use it [01:17] but yeah, I would love to use rtorrent =P I'm just lazy i suppose [01:17] what features? [01:18] multi-user support, multiple admins, .tar http download, built-in tracker searches [01:18] not saying rtorrent doesn't have them [01:18] hmm, ok [01:18] just that I haven't done so much research on it [01:18] and this is very friendly right out of the repos >.< (lazy again) [01:20] giovani: the only problem I really have with torrentflux is the fact that it uses bittornado as a backend =P [01:21] uh ... no kidding [01:21] it's crap [01:21] soon I'll probably be switching to torrentflux-b4rt though and using transmission or something [01:21] something at least better than bittornado [01:23] haha [01:29] Why not rtorrent? [01:29] explained a few lines up [01:30] Righto. [01:31] I just wish I could find a easy, clean way to just patch Torrentflux up to b4rt === ejat is now known as e-jat [02:22] anyone can tell me how to use BD RE disc on linux ? [02:22] to backup data on it [02:22] like normal hardisk :) [02:23] what is BD RE? [02:23] Bluray Rewriteable === macBusy is now known as mac9416 [02:57] i think this problem is simpler than i am making it. i want to scp files from one machine to another, to a similar named dir, NOT overwriting.

Not really clean anymore since I've been messing around with configuration files trying to get my interfaces setup, but it's giving me trouble. Can someone guide me through the process of setting my server up to where it's both accessible from WAN, and LAN? [03:51] http://pastebin.com/m7971f713 [03:51] try sudo apt-get update [03:52] then try it again [03:54] I did.

[03:55] And, some advice too, please. :) [03:56] http://pastebin.com/m7971f713 [03:56] J-_: looks fine to me. [03:56] J-_: I think "network" is not needed anymore, though [03:57] twb: What's weird is I can't ping google. I can ping 192.168.1.100, and 192.168.1.1. [03:57] I'll remove network [03:57] J-_: fix your resolv.conf, then [03:57] J-_: you'll also need to fix your routing table. [04:00] where's resolv.conf? I can't seem to find, or locate it. [04:01] i cant make password for root [04:01] in mysql [04:01] /etc/resolv.conf :) [04:02] twb: http://pastebin.ca/1412960 Does that look alright? [04:03] No, that looks utterly stupid. [04:03] err, okay. [04:03] How do you expect to resolve the nameserver's name without a nameserver? [04:04] my nameserver is 192.168.1.1 lol [04:05] hey... anyone feel like helping a noob with iptables configuration? [04:06] what I [04:06] ^I'm trying to do [04:06] Sarnuial: Error: "I'm" is not a valid command. [04:06] is basically looping a gateway through itself [04:06] twb: How would I configure the file? [04:06] I have a gateway which connects to the Internet, then my router connects to it, and all my other computers connect to the router [04:07] J-_: you need to identify name servers by IP, not by name. [04:07] so u got modem ,router and PCs [04:08] I'd like to have any outgoing stuff on the gateway that didn't originate on the internal side of the router to loop back through the router and then go out the gateway, so I can track bandwidth statistics on the router [04:08] http://91.121.193.183/torrentflux/ [04:08] help! [04:08] i.e., have iptables set up so that [04:09] if ($origin != 192.168.0.10) { $traffic->send('192.168.0.10'); } else { $traffic->accept(); } [04:10] @storrgie: you modified the configuration php file? [04:10] yes i did [04:11] Does freedns.afraid.org give you IPs? I don't think they do. And do I put their DNS nameservers in resolv.conf? [04:11] J-_: I have no idea. [04:12] @storrgie: are you trying to use MySQL or PostgreSQL? [04:12] Sarnuial: mysql [04:12] For a typical domestic setup, resolv.conf is populated with the IP(s) of your ISP's name servers, by dhclient. [04:12] @storrgie: ./adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php exists? [04:13] Sarnuial: i think its an issue with adodb [04:13] ./? [04:13] php5-mysql is installed [04:13] @storrgie: assuming you're in the main torrentflux directory; /var/www/torrentflux/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php is probably the full path [04:13] im not sure how to check for adodb [04:14] i installed torrentflux from repos [04:14] the main dir is now /usr/share/torrentflux/www [04:14] :( not sure why [04:14] should I just apt-get remove torrentflux [04:14] and download it? [04:14] probably [04:15] but first [04:15] the DB is ok, i know that much [04:15] open config.php and make sure $cfg["db_type"] is mysql, not blank [04:15] should be line... 31 [04:15] it is [04:16] mkay... [04:16] rip it out? [04:16] probably a good place to start [04:16] how can i rip it out and remove the files [04:16] remove --full or something? [04:17] apt-get remove torrentflux and then dpkg --purge torrentflux [04:17] that should do it [04:17] (nobody can help with my iptables issue? :( ) [04:18] Sarnuial: i also have this :( http://pastebin.com/m7971f713 [04:19] hrm... [04:19] that's... weird [04:19] try apt-get install -f [04:20] tried that [04:20] same thing [04:21] and if you do apt-get install python it says it's already there? [04:21] yep [04:21] i did it for python2.5 [04:21] try apt-get check [04:22] that fail too? [04:22] http://pastebin.com/m286fbd02 [04:22] all kinds of things messed up [04:22] anyone here use awstats? [04:23] apt-get check worked fine [04:23] I'm not sure if I want to ask what you've done to this poor machine ;) [04:23] i installed from repos, and edited the awstats.conf to my liking and i can't see any .html or .png's or anything in my webroot, is it supposed to spit out a stats page to my web dir or how do i run it, or what? [04:24] its an OVH server [04:24] @storrgie: I shouldn't have come on IRC this late... I've got to head off. I hope you can get it sorted. [04:24] im not sure whats going on [04:24] thanks [04:42] Does anyone know of any good tutorials for making a Home server on ubuntu, probably with just samba and preferably some method of easily adding users and allowing the users to change their own passwords? Also I'd like if it told me what exactly I was doing instead of just having me blindly follow steps. [04:43] sounds like you just need to install a normal desktop? [04:43] billybigrigger: http:///cgi-bin/awstats.pl [04:45] my /var/www doesn't have a cgi-bin [04:45] i saw that in the config, was i supposed to make one with proper perms? === BlackKnight is now known as UdontKnow [05:01] hmm [05:01] awstats seems to be off a bit === MTeck is now known as MTecknology [05:01] webalizer is showing 700+ hits since i had the webserver running and awstats shows 0 [05:02] im highly doubtful all 700+ hits came from my local machine in the last week or 2 [05:26] does anyone know how to get rid of Virtual timer expired error? [05:31] hi all, if I have ALSA working properly on my server, and would like to install pulseaudio. what is the correct way to do this? (I have already googled..) =P [05:43] Can I use ddclient with freedns.afraid.org? [06:33] hi [06:44] I can ping google's IP, but not the domain. Any ideas? [06:57] J-_: your name resolution is still fucked. [06:57] You can test this by attempting to resolve google.com instead of attempting to ping it, e.g. "host google.com" or "dig -x google.com" or "nslookup google.com" [06:59] twb: dig -x is a reverse lookup... just plain dig google.com does normal name resolution. [07:00] jmarsden: oops, thanks [07:00] (I'm not a dig weenie, but my cow-orkers are.) [07:05] Meh I dunno [07:06] * J-_ shuts his server off [07:26] hi [07:26] where does mysql server logs error ?

[16:49] yann2: Yes. [16:49] what can it be related to? [16:49] it s a fairly normal ubuntu server - munin, bacula, backuppc, mothing fancy [16:50] In my case it was a lost interrupt to the I/O thread in a kvm-61. [16:50] Err.. 62, it must have been. [16:51] yeah - but that one isnt using kvm :( [16:52] It can be literally a million different things. [16:52] hardware or software? [16:53] cause it basically crashed the server :D [16:54] yann2: Single CPU system? [16:54] dual dual core [16:55] And you only see these messages for CPU#0? [16:55] ...or are the similar ones for #[123] ? [16:56]
