[00:43] i'm getting a really generic "permission denied" when i try to mount an nfs4 export, even from the nfs server. i'm running out of ideas for what to do. here's the best log output i've found so far: http://pastebin.com/d45780b66 [00:44] error 13 is apparently "permission denied" or "access denied" or some such thing. [00:48] hooray its working [00:48] so whenever i want to install something that is mysql dependent i just do localhost for the server [00:49] artillerytx_: well ... the server is there, locally, so yes [00:49] that's typical on small webservers [00:49] yea [01:06] is it bad to have no password on mysql user names [01:08] artillerytx_: obviously, yes [01:08] haha [01:08] trick question [02:29] Is it possible to run a folding at home on a server [02:29] i don't see why not [02:34] Do you have any suggestions for media server? [02:35] bsmith_: apt-get install boinc? (re: folding) [02:35] twb: thanks [02:35] bsmith_: sorry, it's "boinc-client". [02:36] And the GUI is boinc- [02:36] And the GUI is "boinc-manager" [02:36] Strangely, folding@home doesn't appear to be listed there; I can see only "boinc-app-seti" and "boinc-app-milkyway" [02:37] twb: So what is it? [02:37] I suppose it's possible that folding doesn't use the BOINC infrastructure, but that seems unlikely. [02:39] twb: do you have any suggestions for a media server with browser listening? [02:39] I believe MythTV is a widely used media system. [02:39] I cannot vouch for it personally. [02:40] I figured MythTV was designed for tv usage? not computer usage. Or am I wrong/ [02:41] Perhaps you should clarify what you mean by a "media server" [02:41] At its most basic, a media server could simply be a fileserver with video and audio files on it. [02:41] specifically music [02:41] sorry should have been more clear [02:42] bsmith_: are the speakers attached to your "media server", or to your desktop? [02:42] Im looking to do something similar to pandora.com but without the randomness? does this make sense. [02:43] "We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S." [02:43] Sorry, I can't determine what pandora is. [02:44] he wants a flash app or something to sit in the browser and play music at him, with the music being on the server. [02:44] music on server, web server on server, browser on client, speakers on client. music flows out speakers. [02:44] oh terrible sorry didn't realize you were out of the U.S. I want to listen to music from any computer without downloading the .m3u for streaming [02:45] I wouldn't know about that. Probably I would implement something using either xmms2 or by embedding mplayer in a fat browser and just putting an httpd on the server. [02:45] thanks rcsheets. you have a suggestion [02:45] bsmith_: what's wrong with downloading an m3u? [02:45] bsmith_: could you use itunes rather than a web browser? [02:46] you could use the thing that comes with freenas [02:46] itunes runs on GNU/Linux? [02:46] the name escapes me at the moment [02:46] rcsheets: yes but i would perfer not to [02:46] twb: i assumed that the only linuxy part was likely the server. [02:46] Oh. Sorry, I'm not used to people still using non-GNU/Linux desktops. [02:47] np, we made different assumptions [02:48] Are there any suggestions? [02:49] hi, i cant seem to get a network connect at all from eth0 to the router, other machines are working fine and acquiring a dhcp address. any idea? [02:49] abstortedminds1: are you running network-manager (NetworkManager) ? [02:50] yes i think so, the little icon at the top of the screen [02:50] if that is network manager then yes [02:51] abstortedminds1: that sounds like a desktop, not a server. [02:51] i tried doing it through editing /etc/network/interfaces to auth eth0; ifface eth0 net dhcp [02:51] abstortedminds1: what is your os? [02:51] yes i installed ubuntu desktop on the server [02:51] for gnome [02:51] ill remove it later [02:51] abstortedminds1: OK, that's kinda bad juju [02:52] hehe [02:52] yea [02:52] abstortedminds1: I recommend removing network-manager entirely, and writing a simple /etc/network/interfaces file. [02:52] gotcha [02:52] IME most network problems are caused by NM [02:52] doing that now [02:53] k i removed it, ill let you know if this works [02:53] interfaces should read: [02:53] auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback \n [02:53] allow-hotplug eth0 \n iface eth0 inet dhcp [02:53] Where those \ns are newlines. [02:53] Are there any suggestions for my music server [02:53] when i restart networking i get the same problem, DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 keeps scrolling until it gives up [02:54] allow-hotplug i dont have [02:54] bsmith_: yeah look into freenas like i suggested. it comes with some good stuff. [02:55] will do thanks [02:55] abstortedminds1: make sure that NetworkManager isn't still running [02:55] ok, so there is no: auth eth0? [02:55] That would be "auto". [02:55] Changing "auto" to "allow-hotplug" just means, theoretically, that you can unplug and reconnect the cable and it will automatically restart DHCP. [02:56] ahh [02:56] ok [03:04] So do i need to set up an internet dns server so i can look at the domains im hosting ? [03:05] any ideas guys? what other things could prevent this? [03:08] abstortedminds1: no cable, or your DHCP server is picky about who it responds to, or your switch/router needs a reset [03:08] ok well, ill reset my router and check those, but its a typical linksys router [03:09] so well see [03:13] How come my server install complains it can't find courier-imap courier-pop courier-imap-ssl courier-pop-ssl maildrop and a few other packages? [03:13] Because it's broken? [03:13] Its a linode :/ [03:13] because you don't have universe enabled? [03:13] I've tried with 2 different images. [03:13] AH hah! [03:13] THanks :) [03:14] is it bad that my apache2.conf file is missing Servertokens... and ServerSignature [03:15] see /etc/apache2/conf.d/security [03:15] Universe is off by default for a reason :-/ [03:15] Why are packages in main allowed to depend/recommend on packages in universe? [03:15] ooo [03:16] twb: they aren't [03:16] So AdamDV is just trying to manually install those packages? [03:16] quite possibly [03:16] No no. [03:16] * ajmitch shrugs [03:16] ajmitch: it's also bloody annoying that depending on which order you install packages, you get a different MTA [03:16] AdamDV: how are you trying to install them, and what is complaining? [03:17] It was the universe repo :D [03:17] ajmitch: I wish packages would consistently depend: exim4 | m-t-a, or postfix | m-t-a [03:17] Thanks [03:17] twb: they are being switched to depend: default-mta | m-t-a now I think [03:17] ajmitch: is there a blueprint or lintian template for that? [03:18] not sure, but it is being taken up in debian as well I believe [03:18] It'd be nice to make a list of people whose fingers I need to jump up and down on :-) [03:18] ajmitch: so default-mta is exim4 on Debian and, what, postfix on Ubuntu? [03:18] yes [03:18] postfix ftw [03:18] Good, good. [03:18] http://packages.debian.org/sid/default-mta [03:18] Thanks [03:19] so it looks to be a virtual package provided by only one MTA on each distribution [03:19] Hmm, no hits for it on p.u.c, though [03:20] p.u.c probably doesn't have a list of virtual packages [03:20] Boo. [03:20] postfix provides default-mta on ubuntu though [03:23] and on shorewall to add ftp i do "FTP/ACCEPT net $FW" [03:43] hi all [03:44] * ball waves [03:44] could anyone help me to find the way to get RAM manufacturer by command line? [03:44] I have used dmidecode command but it could not specify that information [03:44] anyone? [03:46] tiger2wander: try lshw [03:46] But I'm not sure you can ever get that information [03:46] Short of driving out the the site and opening the case [03:47] Anyone here who can help me do a usb install of FreeNAS [03:49] What is a USB install? [03:50] I need to make a bootable usb of FreeNAS. I tried uNETbootin [03:51] Er, FreeNAS is a distro? [03:52] Oh, sorry, you mean network attached storage. I was thinking network audio server. [03:52] twb: any solution? [03:53] bsmith_: apparently freenas is a FreeBSD distro, so it's not appropriate to discuss it here. [03:53] twb: unless you're mounting it on an Ubuntu Server box [03:53] ...or perhaps migrating or comparing. [03:54] I tried but no luck [03:54] I am comparing, I currently have ubuntu desktop 9.04 on, but was looking into FreeNAS as an alternate [03:54] I also mentioned this on the freenas channel but no such luch [03:55] bsmith_: then you must stay in the freenas channel nd be patient. [03:55] We cannot provide technical support for freenas [03:55] well what about a working music server in ubuntu 9.04 server or desktop? [03:56] bsmith_: they may be sleeping [03:56] bsmith_: I'm not aware of any free software that meets the requirements you discussed earlier. [03:57] bsmith_: what sort of music server? (What do you want it to do?) [03:57] ball: wish I was! [03:57] ball: I want to listen to music from a web browser. [03:57] * ball stares blankly [03:58] ball: I don't want to download a streaming file. [03:58] You want the audio amp connected to the server and to use a Web browser running on another box to control music playing software on the server? [03:58] bsmith stares blankly [03:59] I want to be able to listen to music from the server on any computer without having to download the .m3u [03:59] bsmith_: sounds like a job for something like mythbuntu [04:00] Ill check it out, do you have any more details on it? [04:00] ball: let me paraphrase [04:02] ball: he wants to store music on a server which has an httpd. When he browses to that httpd from his desktop, he wants to download a flash/java app that will play the music on his desktop, without needing to actually set up a normal music player (e.g. winamp or mplayer) on the desktop. [04:02] bsmith_: correct me if I'm wrong. [04:02] http is a peculiar choice for that, but the people in #mythbuntu may be able to steer you right. [04:03] twb: oh, you just want some flash thing then. I don't do those. [04:03] ball: thanks. twb: What I want is similar to jinzora jukebox [04:04] ball: indeed, I think the requirements are fundamentally screwy. [04:04] ball: to me it sounds like bsmith_ is yelling "I want to circumvent the lockdowns in my company's SOE!" [04:05] twb: that occurred to me too ;-) [04:05] Because obviously if you have root on the desktop it'd be far simpler to set up xmms2 or mplayer. [04:05] I actually would like to do something similar, but with genuine client software installed on the, erm, clients. [04:06] ball: meaning something that can talk to icecast / http / whatever? [04:07] * ball nods [04:07] Something that can talk to whatever I end up running on the media server [04:07] ball: are you running Ubuntu on the desktops? [04:08] I run Ubuntu on my own desktop and for the set-top boxen in the other rooms I will probably run that or something very much like it. [04:08] (this is a long term project) [04:08] twb: http://en.jinzora.com [04:08] mysql 5.1 in Unstable in Debian, so does that mean we're going to make the jump for Karmic? [04:09] bsmith_: I think that's talking about plugging the stereo into the server. That's easy. [04:10] twb: that's handy because almost any music-playing program for Linux is going to work as a remote X client. [04:10] ...so no fancy streaming stuff required ;-) [04:10] Exactly [04:20] thanks for the help === vrizlle is now known as vraa [05:56] why would shorewall prevent my computer locally from access it [05:59] artillerytx: that's a question you should ask shorewall, methinks [05:59] Oh, shorewall is actually in Ubuntu [06:00] well i uninstalled it and its not working [06:00] What does "iptables-save" say? Pastebin the output [06:01] http://pastebin.com/d7bd7188f [06:01] OK, and what is being blocked? [06:01] i can access the apache server and see that [06:02] but i know you guys don't support webmin but i can't access webmin [06:02] and my domain is no longer working [06:02] only thing i can think of is i recently installed shorewall [06:03] You access webmin via your web server, so if you can see web pages, it's not the firewall. [06:03] * ScottK is pretty sure.... [06:03] ScottK: webmin sits on its own port, not via apache [06:03] right [06:03] well that sucks [06:03] Ah. [06:03] well, not knowing anything about your particular setup [06:03] I'd have to assume that shorewall needs exceptions for your other services [06:03] artillerytx: shorewall is still sitting in your firewall. [06:04] i removed it though [06:04] You haven't, according to iptables-save. [06:04] artillerytx: you need to rip it out, or whitelist the appropriate ports and such. [06:04] rip it out [06:04] Incidentally, I think ufw(8) is probably a more approved firewall wrapper than shorewall, around here [06:05] I put together a bash script to do my firewall [06:05] qman__: I don't even use bash [06:05] so how do i get rid of shorewall completely [06:05] well [06:05] sudo apt-get purge shorewall [06:05] Unless you count the (da)sh instance in "pre-up iptables-restore ought to clear out all the files [06:05] and then you need to flush iptables [06:05] and set the default policies [06:06] hmm [06:06] thats a little more than i know how to do [06:06] sudo iptales -F [06:06] You'd want to set the policies first [06:06] sudo iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT [06:06] Otherwise you'll lock yourself out, since they default to DROP [06:06] sudo iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT [06:06] yes [06:06] my bad [06:06] okay so run the first one first [06:06] or the second one [06:06] run the iptables -P ones first [06:06] then iptables -F [06:06] k output than input [06:07] either way [06:07] or input than output sorry [06:07] qman__: how about this: iptables-save | sed 's/DROP/ACCEPT/; /^-/d' | iptables-restore ? [06:07] evil enough for ya? ;-) [06:07] hah [06:07] that would overcomplicate it [06:07] k ran those commands [06:07] artillerytx: can you still talk to the server? [06:07] now your firewall should be accepting all traffic [06:08] unless there's some modules jammed in dropping stuff on you [06:08] artillerytx: at this point, you should unplug your server from the internet because otherwise it will be attacked [06:08] yes [06:08] hooray [06:08] well i have my routers firewall [06:08] I tried to use moblock once [06:08] it doesn't use iptables [06:08] how would you grade: http://pastebin.com/m66b41292 ? [06:08] I couldn't get it to accept LAN traffic [06:09] qman__: I have no "moblock" here [06:09] qman__: URL? [06:09] error404notfound: what are you trying to achieve? [06:09] it's a peerguiardian-like tool for linux [06:09] error404notfound: setgid is 1000, not 4000 [06:09] Sorry, setuid [06:09] but when I installed it it basically broke all my networking [06:09] twb, assure that no non-neccesaary files has a root bit set... [06:10] twb, you sure? [06:10] I think so [06:10] you guys have a good tutorial for installing a firewall [06:10] Sorry, I'm wrong [06:10] or no of one [06:10] ufw should be pretty easy [06:10] e.g. /tmp has 1777, which is sticky [06:10] look for it in the official documentation [06:10] artillerytx: ufw is the recommended firewall wrapper [06:10] like I said, I wrote mine in a bash script for iptables a long while ago [06:11] alright i will check that one out [06:11] artillerytx: of course hard-core bitches like qman__ and myself tend to do it by hand [06:11] so I haven't used any of the nice stuff [06:12] I can show you my script if you want but it probably won't help you, it's tailored to my setup [06:13] Indeed, it'd be quite dangerous to give artillerytx a raw iptables script at this point [06:14] haha yeah not a good idea [06:14] I'm learning slowly [06:14] Like letting your niece handle a blunderbuss [06:14] my house would be on fire [06:14] twb, http://www.faqs.org/faqs/computer-security/most-common-qs/section-15.html [06:15] error404notfound: I used this: sudo find / -xdev -type f $ -perm +4000 -o -perm +2000 $ -ls [06:15] twb, lemme try that... [06:16] error404notfound: as to whether the hits it finds NEED to be setuid/setgid, that is a question I cannot answer easily [06:16] You would need to consult docs on those programs [06:17] But just looking at them, it doesn't surprise me that low-level networking (e.g. ping) and password-related (e.g. passwd) programs are setuid [06:18] I know that in order for pppd to work, it must be suid [06:18] but other than that [06:18] error404notfound: it is also obviously a good idea to mount /home and NFS mounts with nodev,noexec,nosuid [06:19] twb, unfortunately i have all structure on a single disk...

[14:17] Why don't you make a poll [14:17] in the forums? [14:17] meh [14:17] Well not on IRC [14:17] I think I shoul. [14:19] When the Ubuntu OS installer asks you for desired server roles, FTP server is one of the choices, right? I don't know how I missed it. [14:21] Kira: I don't know which of ftp servers is the most popular, but I know vsftpd is one of the most popular [14:22] Kira: Regarding the installation, pretty sure there is no FTP server role. The command "sudo tasksel --list-tasks | grep -i ftp" gave me no answers, on an Ubuntu 9.04 system. [14:41] ah [14:41] so it's not just me. [14:43] erm. when I try to 'halt' my opensolaris vm on virtualbox, it starts shutting down and then it just hangs [14:52] trying to get my mail server to allow me to use it to send mail from remote clients... i.e. use it as a smtp server but i keep getting relay access denied. I have set up (i believe) the very basic dovecot and postfix requirements (no certs) but it stil doesnt work [14:52] where do i start? [14:56] j0nr: http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html [14:57] it doesnt consider the machine you're using to send the message as local, hence the error. [15:00] Sam-I-Am: slightly confused... the mahcine I am using is my windows mobile device... [15:10] j0nr: so, windows mobile is the client, ubuntu is the server [15:10] is the windows mobile device always on a network you control or somewhere in the world? [15:15] Sam-I-Am: just on the orange network [15:16] the error i get is "check you have network coverage and account info is correct" .. i know i have coverage as i am able to recieve mail [15:18] since your device is not on a secured network, you'll need to configure authentication on your mail server [15:18] once authenticated, you can originate mail from anywhere.

[16:17] * ball returns, avec sandwich [16:23] I have it working!! [16:23] at last [16:23] following many different guides, it finally works [16:23] :D [16:24] unfortunately 'blindly' following guides but i can;t hope to 'really' understand what I am doing, its not my job [16:31] j0nr: what's working? [16:32] j0nr: \o/ [16:32] j0nr: You could try and re-create it.. following the guide [16:33] Is the on-demand governor a KVM thing, or part of Ubuntu Server? [16:33] (is it specific to Ubuntu?) [16:34] hello Daviey! [16:34] hey ball [16:35] ball: not exactly sure what you mean tbh. [16:35] Daviey: I'm trying to find out more about things kirland mentioned in the podcast [16:36] The Ubuntu kernel includes an on-demand governor [16:36] since 2.6.9 iirc [16:36] ...does that Just Work[tm] on suitably-equipped hardware? [16:37] (is there a utility I can use to watch the cpu & bus speed?) [17:16] any Canonical Ubuntu Server support customers in the Room? [17:56] hi, can anyone suggest an alternative to dss (darwin streaming server) apple seem to have dropped support for linux [17:57] icecast? [17:59] never tried it [18:01] does that only stream mp3's and oggs [18:05] * ball hugs Ogg/Vorbis [18:15] * ball sighs [18:15] I really have to go. [18:29] has anyone tried installing joomla on ubuntu server? whenever I want to install joomla using address: 192.168.0.1/joomla it wants to download some .phtml file, while simple php file with only phpinf() in different directory, works ok [18:29] ? [18:51] cypr1nus: your Apache config, or an htaccess file, needs to set some kind of AddHandler so that .phtml files get interpreted as, I guess, php. (Most likely.) [18:52] most likely not, because it's the second time i install joomla and in the previous case everything hoes fine without any handlers [19:11] hello [19:11] ivoks: yo [19:12] sommer: how are you?

[19:32] What's an imq? [19:32] a Intermediate queue [19:32] used for ingress traffic shapping [19:33] ah, okay. [19:33] imq emulates a network interface [19:34] Im not sure if IMQ is built in in the kernel [19:35] there are other alternatives like IFB (Intermediate Frame Block) [19:35] http://www.shorewall.net/traffic_shaping.htm#IFB [19:35] we use shorewall for ingress traffic shapping [19:35] it is enable in hardy kernel [19:36] $ grep -i iFB /boot/config-2.6.24-24-generic [19:36] CONFIG_IFB=m [19:36] imq isnt [19:36] yes, modprobe coudnt load imq [19:36] will look into ifb [19:51] New bug: #405421 in drbd8 (universe) "Please sync drbd8 8.3.2-2 (main) from Debian unstable" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/405421 [19:55] ivoks: ^^ does this require some work on the kernel part?
