| joe-mac | i'm revisiting preseeding software raid, has anybody successfully done this? this guy http://blog.bitpusher.com/2009/04/27/preseeding-ubuntu-8042-lts-with-software-raid/ claims he has, but his preseed fails to parse because of one obvious error, and the other i can't quite figure out why it's failing. it actually fails in the same place mine does that looks like it should be right. | 00:19 |

| mixedrink | is there a console software package that will allow me to manage backup routines using a list, xml document, csv file, etc? i find plenty of gui apps, but none for console. | 03:56 |
| twb | mixedrink: a list couldn't contain adequate information, unless it was a list of tuples. | 04:21 |
| mixedrink | twb: define tuples please | 04:22 |

| al_paun | Hello everybody | 08:14 |
| al_paun | i have a question ... | 08:14 |
| al_paun | i have two internet connections on broad band 1 is master and 2 is backup ... i've configured the ip route but when I unplug one of the modem the connection doesn't automaticaly switch to the second connection | 08:16 |
| al_paun | Can anyone help? | 08:16 |
| soren | al_paun: I still think you should figure out how your old system does it and replicate that. | 08:17 |
| al_paun | I found out and i've added the rules from previous configuration but ... there is something missing and I don't know what | 08:19 |
| al_paun | there are some differences ... for example the output of old server for routes -n doesn't have any line with flag GU | 08:24 |
| soren | Can you paste the two route outputs? | 08:29 |
| soren | On pastebin. | 08:29 |
| al_paun | can you please tell me how to pastebin? | 08:34 |
| al_paun | don't know how | 08:34 |

| Nafallo | sftp = ssh | 15:52 |
| NativeAngels | but its running | 15:52 |
| Nafallo | sorry. what is running? | 15:53 |
| NativeAngels | ssh server | 15:53 |
| Nafallo | are you connecting to the right port? | 15:53 |
| NativeAngels | yes | 15:53 |
| NativeAngels | i can ftp normally | 15:54 |
| Nafallo | since you mentioned vsftpd, which is out of the equation. | 15:54 |
| NativeAngels | but not sftp | 15:54 |
| Nafallo | sftp isn't ftp. | 15:54 |
| NativeAngels | i can put putty | 15:54 |
| Nafallo | different daemons, different ports. | 15:54 |
| NativeAngels | ssh servers set up for port 512 | 15:55 |
| Nafallo | so sftp should be on that port then | 15:55 |
| NativeAngels | yeah | 15:55 |
| NativeAngels | but all i get is Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server? | 15:55 |
| Nafallo | try with another client and see if you get the same thing? | 15:56 |

| NativeAngels | can i paste it to you | 15:57 |

| bullish | hey | 20:18 |
| bullish | i have a minimal install running here, and alsa is denying access to my user. while sudoing everything works. the user is on group audio and plugdev. the card uses the snd-hda-intel module. i'm running 8.10. | 20:20 |
| bullish | any ideas? | 20:20 |
| ScottK | It's a server? | 20:25 |
| W8TAH | hi folks -- i have a 8.04 server running that has apparently got a corrupted disk as part of its Logical Volume Group. Folks yesterday told me to boot to live CD (which i finally have done ) to run fsck - -how do i tell fsck to check the hdd's rather than the virtual systems from the live disk? | 20:27 |
| phaidros | ok, iotop doesn't help .. how can I determine if and what is swapped? | 20:31 |
| Lord_Devi | W8TAH: fsck automatically calls a program 'badblocks' it uses to test the HD for badblocks while fscking. Also there is a package smartmontools, in which is a tool smartctl or something like that. That lets you perform a SMART long-test on the drive. | 20:31 |
| W8TAH | Lord_Devi: cool - how do i use it (never had to use fsck before -- esp on a LVM GROUP) | 20:32 |
| Lord_Devi | W8TAH: Also, if that isn't enough... the most thorough way to test in linux is to use badblocks itself, in a write/read capacity, but that can cause data loss and is generally best used on a hard drive that's not in use. However you CAN do a read/write non-destructive with it. It just takes forever.. | 20:32 |
| Lord_Devi | W8TAH: I'm sorry man, I have no experience with LVM groups. I haven't used them before =/ | 20:32 |
| Lord_Devi | I just had the 'how do I test hard drives in linux?!" fight a few times =) | 20:33 |
| bullish | ScottK: it's a minimal install used as file server. i plan on using it to serve mpd as well. | 20:33 |
| W8TAH | ok - -no sweat -- not real critical files on this box -- just would prefer not to loose them - - | 20:33 |
| W8TAH | Lord_Devi: ya -- new one to me - compound problem too - had a unnoticed failure in the backup chain and dont have recent backups of the files (our students home directories) | 20:34 |
| ScottK | bullish: Looking at my desktop (which has working alsa) I don't see any other groups that seem likely. I'd look around and make sure permissions on the alsa related files haven't got messed up, but no great ideas. Sorry. | 20:35 |
| Lord_Devi | Blah sorry for revolving door. Client probs | 20:35 |
| Lord_Devi | badblocks -b 4096 -c 98304 -p 0 -s /dev/hda | 20:35 |
| W8TAH | i'll give it a whirl | 20:36 |
| Lord_Devi | An example of badblocks with non-destructive params. Google first tho to be safe | 20:36 |
| bullish | ScottK: yeah, i thought the same. just wanted to know if someone knew where to prod. thanks man. | 20:36 |
| phaidros | argh .. how come since I ve put usb stick into the machine and started a 500mb file transfer it is just not respoding anwhere near useable .. | 20:37 |
| phaidros | load = 20 | 20:37 |
| Lord_Devi | W8TAH: Also, smartctl: turn on smart first: smartctl -s on /dev/hda, then test, smartctl -c /dev/hda, and Longer test: smartctl -t long /dev/hda | 20:37 |
| bullish | ScottK: any chance you know what alsa uses beyond the modules? | 20:37 |
| ScottK | No, sorry. | 20:38 |
| bullish | ScottK: that's ok. it's an odd setup here, really. thanks anyway. | 20:40 |
| W8TAH | Lord_Devi: ok -- cool | 20:40 |

| NativeAngels | both | 20:48 |
| NativeAngels | im getting this bullish Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server? | 20:48 |
| bullish | NativeAngels: i never set it up to serve. in what step are you and what's wrong? | 20:49 |
| bullish | NativeAngels: to connect i recommend yafc | 20:49 |
| NativeAngels | from a windows pc ? | 20:51 |
| bullish | oh | 20:51 |
| NativeAngels | im using winscp | 20:51 |
| bullish | NativeAngels: not familiar with it. | 20:51 |
| NativeAngels | normal ftp works as does putty | 20:51 |
| ScottK | Is the remote end an Ubuntu server? | 20:51 |
| NativeAngels | so i can use ssh | 20:51 |
| NativeAngels | ubuntu 8.04 | 20:51 |
| NativeAngels | its on a openvz container | 20:52 |
| ScottK | Did you install openssh-server? | 20:52 |
| NativeAngels | yes | 20:52 |
| NativeAngels | and changed the subnet | 20:52 |
| NativeAngels | subversion | 20:52 |
| bullish | NativeAngels: dumb question: are you accessing the right ports? | 20:52 |
| NativeAngels | yes | 20:52 |
| NativeAngels | i set ssh to 512 | 20:53 |
| bullish | NativeAngels: and is the port forwarded (if on a LAN) | 20:53 |
| bullish | NativeAngels: wait. do you need it to be ftp instead of ssh when accessing from the windows box? if yes, why don't you set up a ftpd instead of ssh as server. | 20:59 |
| bullish | also, just curious... how do you authenticate with a pass-phrase on ssh as ftp using a ftp client? (since youre not supposed to leave a ssh server with just a passkey as security) | 21:01 |
| blueyed | Anybody using Karmic with RAID on root? (I have raid+cryptsetup+lvm) It seems like the raid setup does not get picked up anymore. I'm about to file a bug, would like to have some ACK/NACK/workaround. | 21:01 |
| bullish | NativeAngels: maybe you want to look that up: vsftpd.beasts.org | 21:02 |
| NativeAngels | i can login via scp | 21:03 |
| NativeAngels | but cannot open the files | 21:03 |
| NativeAngels | then it say makesure scp is installed | 21:04 |
| NativeAngels | i have vsftpd installed | 21:04 |
| ScottK | For SFTP all you need is openssh-server. | 21:06 |
| NativeAngels | its installed | 21:08 |
| bullish | can you login with sftp instead of scp | 21:09 |
| ScottK | NativeAngels: So what is vsftpd for? | 21:09 |
| NativeAngels | uploading web pages etc | 21:10 |
| NativeAngels | that works fine | 21:10 |
| bullish | You want to open the files ON the server using scp? | 21:11 |
| bullish | i'm having a hard time understanding your problem | 21:11 |
| NativeAngels | this is what i get if i use winscp Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server? | 21:11 |
| bullish | when you connect to the ssh or the vsftpd process? | 21:12 |
| NativeAngels | when ive look up i keeps seeing about chroot | 21:12 |
| NativeAngels | the ssh | 21:12 |
| NativeAngels | putty works | 21:12 |
| bullish | what do you want to do that you can't right now, since some things are working. | 21:14 |
| bullish | we can't help if we don't understand what you want to achieve. | 21:14 |
| NativeAngels | im just curios as to why im gettin the above message when i know the ssh sever is installed | 21:15 |
| bullish | no clue | 21:16 |
| OxDeadC0de | hey, i'm running ubuntu server 8.10 in a vmware session, I can ping google from it, and the sources.list for apt seem fine, but aptitude search php returns nothing, and I can't even "sudo apt-get install nmap" | 21:20 |
| OxDeadC0de | anyone have any ideas why this might be the case? | 21:20 |
| Hecate | OxDeadC0de, error message? | 21:21 |
| Hecate | NativeAngels, is there any SubSystem directive for sftp set in your sshd_Config? | 21:21 |
| OxDeadC0de | just "couldn't find package XX" | 21:21 |
| Hecate | did you aptitude/apt-get update? | 21:21 |
| OxDeadC0de | doh ! thanks Hecate | 21:23 |
| Hecate | you're welcome | 21:23 |
| Hecate | some things are just too frikking obvious to fix them, however hard you try. | 21:24 |
| Hecate | shit like that happens even with 200 quadrilion years of experience. | 21:24 |
| Hecate | ;) | 21:24 |
| NativeAngels | yes Hecate | 21:25 |
| Hecate | we have a saying in german: "man sieht den wald for lauter bäumen nicht". would be sth like "you don't see the forest, because of all the trees in your sight" in english. | 21:26 |
| NativeAngels | this is what its set to Hanche Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server | 21:26 |

| Hecate | you got jaunty? cauz that file does not seem to exit on jaunty server. | 21:27 |
| Hecate | *exist | 21:27 |
| NativeAngels | im using 8.04 Hecate | 21:28 |
| pmatulis | NativeAngels: and you can connect to the SSH server fine? | 21:28 |
| NativeAngels | yes | 21:28 |
| Hecate | sure the file does exist? | 21:28 |
| NativeAngels | through putty | 21:28 |
| pmatulis | NativeAngels: does it spit out any messages? | 21:29 |
| pmatulis | NativeAngels: when you do so? | 21:29 |
| NativeAngels | no it logs on fine | 21:29 |
| pmatulis | NativeAngels: should spit out something | 21:29 |
| Hecate | NativeAngels, even on intrepid, this file does not exist. just checked one of the servers i admin for so else. | 21:30 |
| pmatulis | NativeAngels: winscp and putty tested from same host? | 21:31 |
| Hecate | NativeAngels, this is what it's got to be: Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server | 21:31 |
| Hecate | (unless you have modified your server to some extent) | 21:32 |
| NativeAngels | yes pmatulis | 21:32 |
| NativeAngels | it works fine for root | 21:33 |
| pmatulis | NativeAngels: you're using the root user? | 21:33 |
| NativeAngels | but when a user signs on as another user which ive set an account for | 21:34 |
| NativeAngels | is it anything to do with the chroot settings ? | 21:34 |
| pmatulis | NativeAngels: SSH and SFTP are working for root but both are not working for a non-root user? | 21:35 |
| Hecate | NativeAngels, hell yeah. | 21:35 |
| NativeAngels | ssh and sftp for root but only ssh for user | 21:35 |
| NativeAngels | its arranged as there folder /user/public_html/ | 21:36 |
| NativeAngels | or /home/user/public_html | 21:36 |
| pmatulis | NativeAngels: so it's a permissions issue | 21:36 |
| Hecate | NativeAngels, in case you got a chroot setup, you have to setup the directory structure of the system including some libs, a few block devices, etc. for that user. | 21:36 |
| NativeAngels | ok | 21:37 |
| NativeAngels | sorry to be a pain, but your time is appreciated | 21:37 |
| Hecate | NativeAngels, do you have a chroot set up? | 21:38 |
| NativeAngels | i enabled it in vsftpd | 21:38 |
| NativeAngels | config | 21:38 |
| NativeAngels | but other than that i dont know | 21:39 |
| Hecate | ok, just gimme like 20 minutes and i'll help you. | 21:39 |
| Hecate | got some stuff to take care of first. | 21:40 |
| pmatulis | NativeAngels: try to connect again and then go check your logs | 21:46 |
| pmatulis | NativeAngels: use this command to easily see which log files were changed last: '$ ls -ltr /var/log' | 21:47 |
| pmatulis | NativeAngels: then tail a few files: '$ tail /var/log/messages' for instance | 21:48 |
| * Hecate has returned. | 21:59 | |
| Hecate | made any progress, NativeAngels? | 22:00 |
| NativeAngels | was aft for a few | 22:00 |
| Hecate | well, then i'recommend checking your log, just as pmatulis suggested. | 22:01 |
| NativeAngels | this is the result of the ls -ltr/var/log command http://pastebin.com/ma503c71 | 22:16 |
