| sseiersen | How do I set a static IP? | 01:38 |
|---|---|---|
| ball | hello zul | 03:01 |
| artillerytx_ | any of yall know where in the bios i can change the fan speed? | 03:20 |
| artillerytx_ | on a dell | 03:20 |
| ball | artillerytx_: generally you don't. | 03:21 |
| ball | ...though there may be a setting that lets you choose "full" or "auto" | 03:21 |
| ball | ...how old is the server? | 03:22 |
| artillerytx_ | ball: oh okay i thought there might be a quiet option cause this thing is loud | 03:22 |
| artillerytx_ | 2005 i think | 03:22 |
| ball | That's old enough that it may be permanently jammed in "full" ;-) | 03:23 |
| artillerytx_ | man | 03:23 |
| artillerytx_ | that sucks | 03:23 |
| artillerytx_ | are there any program i can download to monitor fan speed | 03:23 |
| ball | artillerytx_: that's up to your firmware I think. | 03:25 |
| artillerytx_ | apparently there is an update | 03:26 |
| artillerytx_ | that might help | 03:26 |
| ball | Perhaps | 03:26 |
| ball | ...depending on the hardware and mood of the chap who wrote the firmware | 03:27 |
| artillerytx_ | so i was installing ubuntu server on this computer originally and i couldn't get the nic to work and someone suggested using the desktop version instead ... saying i can use it the exact same as the server | 03:30 |
| artillerytx_ | and now i have no idea what to install | 03:30 |
| artillerytx_ | or should i just install ubuntu server on this computer | 03:33 |
| ball | artillerytx_: do you intend to use it as a server, or a desktop? | 03:34 |
| artillerytx_ | ball: i want to host a few domains off of it | 03:34 |
| artillerytx_ | ball: so yeah as a server | 03:34 |
| ball | I'd install Ubuntu Server then probably. | 03:36 |
| artillerytx_ | ball: alright | 03:36 |
| artillerytx_ | and if i want a gui i can just install it later | 03:37 |
| ball | I'm told that's possible, but it's not something that appeals to me. | 03:38 |
| ball | If you want a GUI then it's a Desktop. | 03:38 |
| * ball shrugs | 03:38 | |
| artillerytx_ | yeah | 03:40 |
| artillerytx_ | i dont really care cause once i set this up i can just use webmin | 03:41 |
| artillerytx_ | and throw this in a closet | 03:41 |
| * ball doesn't know webmin | 03:41 | |
| artillerytx_ | oh | 03:41 |
| artillerytx_ | what do you use your server for? | 03:41 |
| ball | Which one? The Ubuntu one is just a Web server and it lets me experiment with various aspects of Ubuntu Server. | 03:42 |
| artillerytx_ | oh okay... | 03:42 |
| artillerytx_ | have you ever set up a dns server | 03:42 |
| ball | I have never needed to. | 03:42 |
| artillerytx_ | oh | 03:44 |
| ball | ...though I've had DNS records on other people's servers | 03:46 |
| artillerytx_ | yyea this is a first for me | 03:46 |
| ball | hello infinity | 03:47 |
| === artillerytx is now known as chrislabeard | ||
| chrislabeard | Hey guys if i want to set up ubuntu server to host a domain and i have a dynamic ip how would i go about doing that | 04:02 |
| ball | chrislabeard: I've done that | 04:05 |
| ball | I had to tell my router to keep dyndns updated. | 04:06 |
| ball | ...and forward port 80 to the Ubuntu Server box | 04:06 |
| ball | ...that was about it. | 04:06 |
| chrislabeard | ball: okay so i need to still register a dns with dyndns | 04:06 |
| ball | You're not registering a dns with them, you're registering a hostname as a subdomain of one of theirs | 04:07 |
| ball | ...or I suppose the hostname doesn't /have/ to be the same as the subdomain that you create. | 04:08 |
| ball | My Ubuntu Server box is called delia, but you can find her at http://potch.endoftheinternet.org/ | 04:08 |
| ball | "potch" is the part I chose, "endoftheinternet.org" is one of their domains. | 04:09 |
| chrislabeard | oh okay but can't you get a dynamic dns from them and then host your own domain names | 04:09 |
| ball | chrislabeard: possibly, but if you really want to host a domain of your own, it's best to use a static IP address. | 04:10 |
| ball | hello dralik | 04:10 |
| chrislabeard | ball: and not a dns | 04:11 |
| ball | You would still use DNS records with a static IP address | 04:12 |
| ball | I did for years. | 04:12 |
| ball | ...obviously that was done without the need for dyndns | 04:12 |
| chrislabeard | ball: yeah but can't i host my own dns server and make it dynamic | 04:12 |
| ball | That doesn't sound like a sensible combination. | 04:12 |
| ball | If you need a local DNS for some reason, don't use an Internet connection with a dynamic IP address. | 04:13 |
| ball | I have to go | 04:13 |
| chrislabeard | what do you do if you want to host more than 1 domain off of one server | 04:13 |
| chrislabeard | okay | 04:13 |
| chrislabeard | does webmin still exist | 04:33 |
| ScottK | chrislabeard: It does, but it's not in the Ubuntu repositories. | 04:43 |
| chrislabeard | ScottK: i found it | 04:43 |
| chrislabeard | thanks | 04:43 |
| ScottK | chrislabeard: People here tend to speak well of ebox. | 04:44 |
| chrislabeard | ScottK: oh really hmm | 04:44 |
| chrislabeard | ScottK: I'm really new to this | 04:44 |
| chrislabeard | ScottK: just found a tutorial about webmin | 04:44 |
| ScottK | It's also packaged for Ubuntu. | 04:44 |
| * ScottK doesn't use either, so has basis for an opinion. | 04:45 | |
| * ScottK has helped people fix systems broken by webmin. | 04:45 | |
| ScottK | !webmin | 04:45 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 04:45 |
| chrislabeard | ScottK: yikes how do i get rid of it it than ? | 04:45 |
| chrislabeard | ScottK: i just installed it | 04:46 |
| * ScottK has no idea. | 04:46 | |
| infinity | Install it in reverse? :) | 04:46 |
| chrislabeard | lol | 04:46 |
| infinity | If you haven't actually configured anything with webmin yet, it probably hasn't broken anything. | 04:46 |
| infinity | But yeah, it's notorious for being off in la-la-land about how it takes over your syste, | 04:47 |
| chrislabeard | ScottK: yikes so is there no way to uninstall it though | 04:47 |
| chrislabeard | or remove it | 04:47 |
| ScottK | There is, I just don't know what it is. | 04:47 |
| infinity | Once you go webmin, you can never really use any other tool, nor have sane conffile updates from packages, nor even make sense of the config files at the CLI hald the time. | 04:47 |
| infinity | s/hald/half/ | 04:47 |
| ScottK | Consult the webmin documentation. | 04:47 |
| chrislabeard | # apt-get --purge remove webmin | 04:48 |
| infinity | I've never used ebox, so can't really say if it's any good, but I know a fair few people at least spent some time TRYING to make it vaguely integrate sanely in Debian/Ubuntu. | 04:48 |
| chrislabeard | it just looks like webmin has alot more tutorials | 04:49 |
| ScottK | It's been around longer. | 04:49 |
| ScottK | Doesn't mean it's better. | 04:49 |
| ScottK | All you need is one tutorial if it's right. | 04:49 |
| chrislabeard | yeah | 04:51 |
| chrislabeard | it looks like webmin cripples xbox in features though | 04:51 |
| chrislabeard | if it doesn't work i can just throw in the lake | 04:53 |
| chrislabeard | just testing this out right now | 04:53 |
| chrislabeard | any of yall every set up mysql | 04:57 |
| infinity | Not much to "set up", unless you need specific performance tuning. | 05:01 |
| chrislabeard | well for some reason webmin keeps telling me connection to localhost failed and i can't login | 05:03 |
| ScottK | This really isn't the place to get help with webmin. | 05:05 |
| chrislabeard | ScottK: oh is there a channel sorry | 05:05 |
| ScottK | chrislabeard: No idea. Whether there is or not, doesn't have an effect on if this is the place to get support for webmin. | 05:06 |
| chrislabeard | ScottK: yeah there is sorry guys | 05:06 |
| chrislabeard | So if i install LAMP during the ubuntu server install that pretty much installs everything i need to run a web server | 06:02 |
| infinity | Depends on what you do with it. It installs apache, php, and mysql, as advertised. | 06:03 |
| chrislabeard | k | 06:04 |
| chrislabeard | when you are editing the network interfaces file ... what does network pertain to | 06:06 |
| chrislabeard | ? | 06:06 |
| chrislabeard | i understand gateway which is the router and never heard of broadcast or network | 06:06 |
| chrislabeard | looks like network is just 192.168.0.0 | 06:09 |
| Deevz | So how do people work with headless server? | 06:29 |
| Deevz | Do they have some sort of utility to access the CLI from another comp? | 06:29 |
| ScottK | Deevz: ssh | 06:36 |
| Deevz | Secure shell? | 06:38 |
| ScottK | Yes | 06:41 |
| Deevz | does ssh server come packed with ubuntu server? | 06:42 |
| ScottK | It's an option at install time or you can easily install it later. | 06:45 |
| artillerytx | How do you tell apache how much space it can use? | 07:29 |
| _ruben | you dont | 08:24 |
| artillerytx | oh | 08:25 |
| artillerytx | can anyone help me figure out why i can't login to my ftp server ? | 08:26 |
| artillerytx | i added a user using webmin and had porftpd installed and it keeps telling me login incorrect | 08:27 |
| _ruben | !webmin | 08:27 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 08:27 |
| artillerytx | yeah but its better than ebox | 08:27 |
| _ruben | apparently its not good enough | 08:28 |
| _ruben | since it aint working for you | 08:28 |
| _ruben | anyway, im out | 08:28 |

| orogor | hi here | 11:39 |
| orogor | i got a small issue with dhcpd which doesn t start on boot | 11:39 |
| orogor | anyone has an idea? | 11:39 |
| RoyK | orogor: probably a typo in the config file - check the logs | 11:44 |
| alex_joni | orogor: make sure the service is added to the proper runlevel | 11:46 |
| orogor | humm | 11:46 |
| orogor | apparently it sstarted but not with the good conf or something | 11:46 |
| orogor | it doesn t get alease by the service buyt does when started manually | 11:47 |
| RoyK | do you have a symlink for the dhcpd under /etc/rc2.d ? | 11:48 |
| orogor | got only S24dhcdbd | 11:49 |
| RoyK | and that links to where_ | 11:49 |
| RoyK | ? | 11:49 |
| orogor | ../init.d/dhcdbd | 11:50 |
| orogor | script says dhcdbd provides a D-DBus interface to dhclient | 11:50 |
| RoyK | well | 11:51 |
| RoyK | cd /etc/rc2.d | 11:51 |
| RoyK | ln -s ../init.d/dhcpd S25dhcpd | 11:51 |
| orogor | . | 11:57 |
| alex_joni | , | 11:57 |
| orogor | RoyK, root@pascalou:/etc/rc2.d# ls ../init.d/dhcpd | 11:57 |
| orogor | ls: cannot access ../init.d/dhcpd: No such file or directory | 11:57 |
| alex_joni | sounds like dhcpd isn't there.. | 11:58 |
| alex_joni | you sure you installed it? | 11:58 |
| alex_joni | dpkg -l dhcpd | 11:58 |
| Maleko | folks | 11:59 |
| Maleko | if i install a guest os inside vm on a ubuntu server box, how do i make the guest os uses the server box ip? | 11:59 |
| orogor | no package matching | 12:00 |
| RoyK | Maleko: don't install a guest os on a guest os | 12:00 |
| orogor | also when i do /etc/init.d/networking restart , it hangs on DHCPRELEASE on eth1 to 82.227.228.254 port 67 | 12:00 |
| Maleko | RoyK: ha..sorry? | 12:01 |
| orogor | when doing it manually iot doesn t try to realease and it doesn t get stuck | 12:01 |
| Maleko | i have ubuntu 8.10 on my server box and i thought of testing drive intrepid ibex in vm on that server | 12:02 |
| RoyK | isn't 8.10 == intrepid ibex? | 12:04 |
| Maleko | eh sorry i mean 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope | 12:06 |
| Kimf | Any good tools to get reports from logs? Or any web interface for viewing logs? | 13:02 |

| Scix | I'm trying to install ubuntu server 9.04 on a HP PL ML110 with a embedded SATA RAID. however when disk-detect is runned, i'm resiving these two error messages: "ERROR: either the required RAID set not found or more options required" and "no raid sets and with names: ".ddf1_disks"" and the installer freezes. Anyone who has a solution? | 18:46 |
| giovani | Scix: this is a fakeraid controller? | 18:58 |
| Scix | yes | 18:58 |
| giovani | any particular reason you want to use it? | 18:58 |
| giovani | Scix: ? | 19:05 |
| Scix | giovani: Yes it is. It's a fakeraid controller | 19:07 |
| Scix | embedded on the motherbord | 19:07 |
| Scix | sorry, didn't see your last message | 19:09 |
| Scix | i need it so i can set up a RAID 1, on a realy cheep but important server | 19:09 |
| Scix | it works in opensuse, but i want ubuntu on it | 19:11 |
| Scix | is there a better alternative? The server is goint to work as a KISS SMB and CUPS server | 19:12 |
| jmarsden | Scix: Just use software RAID instead? | 19:14 |
| Scix | yes, i considered that, but is it safe enough? | 19:16 |
| jmarsden | Yes :) It is in some ways safer than fakeraid, because worst case you can migrate the drives to a different machine for recovery... | 19:17 |
| Scix | me like :) But now it's barbecue time, so i have to look into it later? Thanks for all help :) | 19:18 |

| kc8pxy | what could cause my apache server, managed by webmin, and virtualmin, to quit being accessible from the same switch, with onyl the addition of shorewall between the internet and the webserver? accesing the webserver from the interwebs is fine, it's just from the lan that's not working anymore. | 20:04 |
| kc8pxy | this is an ubuntu 8.04 32-bit server. | 20:04 |
| giovani | kc8pxy: unfortunately, that's not really enough information to diagnose -- can you log into the server, and run a few commands in order to troubleshoot? | 20:49 |
| === highvolt1ge is now known as highvoltage | ||
| kc8pxy_ | giovani: yes.. what commands? | 21:18 |
| giovani | kc8pxy_: well, "netstat -anp | grep :80" as root (so, prepend "sudo " if you're running this as a non-priv user) to start | 21:22 |
| giovani | you can copy and paste the output to a pastebin (like http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/) | 21:23 |
| kc8pxy_ | giovani: weird.. it's not letting me from the lan. | 21:28 |
| giovani | kc8pxy_: this is why I first asked if you were able to log into the server | 21:29 |
| giovani | it sounds like you've misconfigured your network settings on the server, or the switch has been misconfigured, or something even less common | 21:29 |
| kc8pxy_ | giovani: weird.. i can login to it from outside the friewall, but not from inside it. | 21:33 |
| giovani | kc8pxy_: the firewall is on a physically separate machine, right? | 21:35 |
| giovani | a network diagram would help here -- since your description is a little unclear | 21:35 |
| kc8pxy_ | giovani: comming | 21:39 |
| kc8pxy_ | giovani: entry to the system is a DSL modem. plugged directly to the modem is eth0 on a debian lenny box running shorewall. eth1 has a switch pullged into it, and the web server, as wwell ass several others, and several workstations are plugged into it. | 21:51 |
| kc8pxy_ | tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN | 21:54 |
| kc8pxy_ | it won't let me sudo, i obviously need to fix that. | 21:54 |
| giovani | it sounds like you either have a broken network | 21:59 |
| giovani | or possibly some iptables rules preventing access from the local lan | 21:59 |
