[00:19] 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. [01:23] hi everyone, I am trying to install ubuntu 8.04.2 at virtual box, but always I recive the message about a problem with the kernel.. === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim [01:30] what would u pay for a dedi server, 100mbit unlimited traffic?

I'm using Unix Authentication on my pure-ftpd server and would like to chroot to a directory outside of the user's home directory. Do you guys know if that can be done?

[08:16] 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] Can anyone help? [08:17] al_paun: I still think you should figure out how your old system does it and replicate that. [08:19] I found out and i've added the rules from previous configuration but ... there is something missing and I don't know what [08:24] there are some differences ... for example the output of old server for routes -n doesn't have any line with flag GU [08:29] Can you paste the two route outputs? [08:29] On pastebin. [08:34] can you please tell me how to pastebin?

[15:53] yes [15:54] i can ftp normally [15:54] since you mentioned vsftpd, which is out of the equation. [15:54] but not sftp [15:54] sftp isn't ftp. [15:54] i can put putty [15:54] different daemons, different ports.

[19:24] hello can someone here help me with Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server? [19:24] i have ssh server runing [19:26] hi! [19:27] in need of some kinde of EQ form mu ubuntu, any suggestions? [20:11] how to find out, which process is doing most IO ? [20:12] is there somthing like iotop ? [20:13] heh, there is :) [20:13] phaidros apt-cache show iotop ;) [20:13] thx [20:18] hey [20:20] 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] any ideas? [20:25] It's a server? [20:27] 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? [20:31] ok, iotop doesn't help .. how can I determine if and what is swapped? [20:31] 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. [20:32] Lord_Devi: cool - how do i use it (never had to use fsck before -- esp on a LVM GROUP) [20:32] 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] W8TAH: I'm sorry man, I have no experience with LVM groups. I haven't used them before =/ [20:33] I just had the 'how do I test hard drives in linux?!" fight a few times =) [20:33] ScottK: it's a minimal install used as file server. i plan on using it to serve mpd as well. [20:33] ok - -no sweat -- not real critical files on this box -- just would prefer not to loose them - - [20:34] 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) [20:35] 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] Blah sorry for revolving door. Client probs [20:35] badblocks -b 4096 -c 98304 -p 0 -s /dev/hda [20:36] i'll give it a whirl [20:36] An example of badblocks with non-destructive params. Google first tho to be safe [20:36] ScottK: yeah, i thought the same. just wanted to know if someone knew where to prod. thanks man. [20:37] 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] load = 20 [20:37] 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] ScottK: any chance you know what alsa uses beyond the modules? [20:38] No, sorry. [20:40] ScottK: that's ok. it's an odd setup here, really. thanks anyway. [20:40] Lord_Devi: ok -- cool [20:44] nevermind. i was being dumb. i forgot to newgrp after vigr and vigr -s [20:47] can someone here help me with sftp [20:47] NativeAngels: setting up to serve or connecting to? [20:48] both [20:48] im getting this bullish Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server? [20:49] NativeAngels: i never set it up to serve. in what step are you and what's wrong? [20:49] NativeAngels: to connect i recommend yafc [20:51] from a windows pc ? [20:51] oh [20:51] im using winscp [20:51] NativeAngels: not familiar with it. [20:51] normal ftp works as does putty [20:51] Is the remote end an Ubuntu server? [20:51] so i can use ssh [20:51] ubuntu 8.04 [20:52] its on a openvz container [20:52] Did you install openssh-server? [20:52] yes [20:52] and changed the subnet [20:52] subversion [20:52] NativeAngels: dumb question: are you accessing the right ports? [20:52] yes [20:53] i set ssh to 512 [20:53] NativeAngels: and is the port forwarded (if on a LAN) [20:59] 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. [21:01] 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] 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. [21:02] NativeAngels: maybe you want to look that up: vsftpd.beasts.org [21:03] i can login via scp [21:03] but cannot open the files [21:04] then it say makesure scp is installed [21:04] i have vsftpd installed [21:06] For SFTP all you need is openssh-server. [21:08] its installed [21:09] can you login with sftp instead of scp [21:09] NativeAngels: So what is vsftpd for? [21:10] uploading web pages etc [21:10] that works fine [21:11] You want to open the files ON the server using scp? [21:11] i'm having a hard time understanding your problem [21:11] this is what i get if i use winscp Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server? [21:12] when you connect to the ssh or the vsftpd process? [21:12] when ive look up i keeps seeing about chroot [21:12] the ssh [21:12] putty works [21:14] what do you want to do that you can't right now, since some things are working. [21:14] we can't help if we don't understand what you want to achieve. [21:15] im just curios as to why im gettin the above message when i know the ssh sever is installed [21:16] no clue [21:20] 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] anyone have any ideas why this might be the case? [21:21] OxDeadC0de, error message? [21:21] NativeAngels, is there any SubSystem directive for sftp set in your sshd_Config? [21:21] just "couldn't find package XX" [21:21] did you aptitude/apt-get update? [21:23] doh ! thanks Hecate [21:23] you're welcome [21:24] some things are just too frikking obvious to fix them, however hard you try. [21:24] shit like that happens even with 200 quadrilion years of experience. [21:24] ;) [21:25] yes Hecate [21:26] 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] this is what its set to Hanche Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server [21:27] NativeAngels, ls: cannot access /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server: No such file or directory [21:27] you got jaunty? cauz that file does not seem to exit on jaunty server. [21:27] *exist [21:28] im using 8.04 Hecate [21:28] NativeAngels: and you can connect to the SSH server fine? [21:28] yes [21:28] sure the file does exist? [21:28] through putty [21:29] NativeAngels: does it spit out any messages? [21:29] NativeAngels: when you do so? [21:29] no it logs on fine [21:29] NativeAngels: should spit out something [21:30] NativeAngels, even on intrepid, this file does not exist. just checked one of the servers i admin for so else. [21:31] NativeAngels: winscp and putty tested from same host? [21:31] NativeAngels, this is what it's got to be: Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server [21:32] (unless you have modified your server to some extent) [21:32] yes pmatulis [21:33] it works fine for root [21:33] NativeAngels: you're using the root user? [21:34] but when a user signs on as another user which ive set an account for [21:34] is it anything to do with the chroot settings ? [21:35] NativeAngels: SSH and SFTP are working for root but both are not working for a non-root user? [21:35] NativeAngels, hell yeah. [21:35] ssh and sftp for root but only ssh for user [21:36] its arranged as there folder /user/public_html/ [21:36] or /home/user/public_html [21:36] NativeAngels: so it's a permissions issue [21:36] 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. [21:37] ok [21:37] sorry to be a pain, but your time is appreciated [21:38] NativeAngels, do you have a chroot set up? [21:38] i enabled it in vsftpd [21:38] config [21:39] but other than that i dont know [21:39] ok, just gimme like 20 minutes and i'll help you. [21:40] got some stuff to take care of first. [21:46] NativeAngels: try to connect again and then go check your logs [21:47] NativeAngels: use this command to easily see which log files were changed last: '$ ls -ltr /var/log' [21:48] NativeAngels: then tail a few files: '$ tail /var/log/messages' for instance [21:59] * Hecate has returned. [22:00] made any progress, NativeAngels? [22:00] was aft for a few [22:01] well, then i'recommend checking your log, just as pmatulis suggested. [22:16] this is the result of the ls -ltr/var/log command http://pastebin.com/ma503c71 [22:39] heh my first problem with screen-profiles [23:43] what is the name of the kernel source package? =/ [23:55] IIRC linux-source
