[00:19] <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.
[01:23] <Andre_Gondim-afk> 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..
[01:30] <LHC> what would u pay for a dedi server, 100mbit unlimited traffic?
[01:45] <slide> How do I get my network card to auto get an ip address? right now each time I boot i have to manually called dhclient eth0
[01:47] <foxbuntu> slide, sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

[01:48] <foxbuntu> slide, yup
[01:48] <slide> thanks
[03:56] <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.
[04:21] <twb> mixedrink: a list couldn't contain adequate information, unless it was a list of tuples.
[04:22] <mixedrink> twb: define tuples please
[04:22] <twb> rsnapshot is lightweight backup infrastructure; heavyweight stuff is amanda/bacula.
[04:23] <mixedrink> twb: awesome, thank you
[06:16] <tonyyarusso> bacula appears awesome, but I still can't configure it quite right.
[07:32] <teapot> Hey guys. 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?
[08:14] <al_paun> Hello everybody
[08:14] <al_paun> i have a question ...
[08:16] <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?
[08:17] <soren> al_paun: I still think you should figure out how your old system does it and replicate that.
[08:19] <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
[08:24] <al_paun> there are some differences ... for example the output of old server for routes -n doesn't have any line with flag GU
[08:29] <soren> Can you paste the two route outputs?
[08:29] <soren> On pastebin.
[08:34] <al_paun> can you please tell me how to pastebin?
[08:34] <al_paun> don't know how
[08:35] <twb> !pastebin

[09:29] <evil_pyr0> hello.
[09:30] <evil_pyr0> does ubuntu-server 9.0 install with a gui, or do we have to apply it manually?
[09:31] <evil_pyr0> i mean 9.4
[10:49] <al_paun> what do you recommend instead of webmin?
[10:53] <Nafallo> !webmin

[15:31] <storrgie> vmware server bridged networking doesnt work in jaunty?
[15:48] <storrgie> anyone running vmware server 2 in jaunty?
[15:51] <NativeAngels> ive setup openvz a ubuntu server with vsftp but when i use wincp i get an error message Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server? can anyone help
[15:52] <Nafallo> sftp = ssh
[15:52] <NativeAngels> but its running
[15:53] <Nafallo> sorry. what is running?
[15:53] <NativeAngels> ssh server
[15:53] <Nafallo> are you connecting to the right port?
[15:53] <NativeAngels> yes
[15:54] <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.
[15:55] <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?
[15:56] <Nafallo> try with another client and see if you get the same thing?
[15:56] <Nafallo> also, check your sshd_config ?
[15:57] <NativeAngels> can i paste it to you
[15:57] <NativeAngels> in pastbin
[15:57] <Nafallo> sure
[15:57] <NativeAngels> to see if ive configured it correctly
[15:58] <Nafallo> nafallo@lumberjack:~$ grep sftp /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[15:58] <Nafallo> Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
[15:58] <Nafallo> that's what you want either way
[16:09] <NativeAngels> thats my sshd_config Nafallo http://pastebin.com/m52bb856a
[16:11] <Nafallo> NativeAngels: looks like it should work
[16:11] <NativeAngels> ive this running on a openvz container
[16:11] <NativeAngels> its strange
[18:14] <storrgie1> I have vmware server 2 on ubuntu 8.04 and I cant get bridged networking to work!!!

[19:26] <Hanche> hi!
[19:27] <Hanche> in need of some kinde of EQ form mu ubuntu, any suggestions?
[20:11] <phaidros> how to find out, which process is doing most IO ?
[20:12] <phaidros> is there somthing like iotop ?
[20:13] <phaidros> heh, there is :)
[20:13] <gourgi> phaidros apt-cache show iotop ;)
[20:13] <phaidros> thx
[20:18] <bullish> hey
[20:20] <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?
[20:25] <ScottK> It's a server?
[20:27] <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?
[20:31] <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.
[20:32] <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 =/
[20:33] <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 - -
[20:34] <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)
[20:35] <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
[20:36] <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.
[20:37] <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?
[20:38] <ScottK> No, sorry.
[20:40] <bullish> ScottK: that's ok. it's an odd setup here, really. thanks anyway.
[20:40] <W8TAH> Lord_Devi: ok -- cool
[20:44] <bullish> nevermind. i was being dumb. i forgot to newgrp after vigr and vigr -s
[20:47] <NativeAngels> can someone here help me with sftp
[20:47] <bullish> NativeAngels: setting up to serve or connecting to?
[20:48] <NativeAngels> both
[20:48] <NativeAngels> im getting this bullish Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server?
[20:49] <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
[20:51] <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
[20:52] <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
[20:53] <NativeAngels> i set ssh to 512
[20:53] <bullish> NativeAngels: and is the port forwarded (if on a LAN)
[20:59] <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.
[21:01] <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.
[21:02] <bullish> NativeAngels: maybe you want to look that up: vsftpd.beasts.org
[21:03] <NativeAngels> i can login via scp
[21:03] <NativeAngels> but cannot open the files
[21:04] <NativeAngels> then it say makesure scp is installed
[21:04] <NativeAngels> i have vsftpd installed
[21:06] <ScottK> For SFTP all you need is openssh-server.
[21:08] <NativeAngels> its installed
[21:09] <bullish> can you login with sftp instead of scp
[21:09] <ScottK> NativeAngels: So what is vsftpd for?
[21:10] <NativeAngels> uploading web pages etc
[21:10] <NativeAngels> that works fine
[21:11] <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?
[21:12] <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
[21:14] <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.
[21:15] <NativeAngels> im just curios as to why im gettin the above message when i know the ssh sever is installed
[21:16] <bullish> no clue
[21:20] <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?
[21:21] <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?
[21:23] <OxDeadC0de> doh ! thanks Hecate
[21:23] <Hecate> you're welcome
[21:24] <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> ;)
[21:25] <NativeAngels> yes Hecate
[21:26] <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
[21:27] <Hecate> NativeAngels, ls: cannot access /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server: No such file or directory
[21:27] <Hecate> you got jaunty? cauz that file does not seem to exit on jaunty server.
[21:27] <Hecate> *exist
[21:28] <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
[21:29] <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
[21:30] <Hecate> NativeAngels, even on intrepid, this file does not exist. just checked one of the servers i admin for so else.
[21:31] <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
[21:32] <Hecate> (unless you have modified your server to some extent)
[21:32] <NativeAngels> yes pmatulis
[21:33] <NativeAngels> it works fine for root
[21:33] <pmatulis> NativeAngels: you're using the root user?
[21:34] <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 ?
[21:35] <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
[21:36] <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.
[21:37] <NativeAngels> ok
[21:37] <NativeAngels> sorry to be a pain, but your time is appreciated
[21:38] <Hecate> NativeAngels, do you have a chroot set up?
[21:38] <NativeAngels> i enabled it in vsftpd
[21:38] <NativeAngels> config
[21:39] <NativeAngels> but other than that i dont know
[21:39] <Hecate> ok, just gimme like 20 minutes and i'll help you.
[21:40] <Hecate> got some stuff to take care of first.
[21:46] <pmatulis> NativeAngels: try to connect again and then go check your logs
[21:47] <pmatulis> NativeAngels: use this command to easily see which log files were changed last: '$ ls -ltr /var/log'
[21:48] <pmatulis> NativeAngels: then tail a few files: '$ tail /var/log/messages' for instance
[21:59]  * Hecate has returned.
[22:00] <Hecate> made any progress, NativeAngels?
[22:00] <NativeAngels> was aft for a few
[22:01] <Hecate> well, then i'recommend checking your log, just as pmatulis suggested.
[22:16] <NativeAngels> this is the result of the ls -ltr/var/log command http://pastebin.com/ma503c71
