[00:13] leaf-sheep: Got a TFTP server installed? [00:14] owh: Yes. I successfully got it to work. But for some reason, I'm not able to access the website (apache2) from the other machine. [00:15] This is something I'm working on at the moment. Trying to eliminate all hiccups. [00:16] leaf-sheep: I'm unsure what a website has to do with PXE booting. [00:17] owh: What do you mean? apache2 is needed to export the contents over the web/local network/etc for the network based installer and such. [00:18] leaf-sheep: Right, you didn't tell us that part. That is, running the installer :) [00:21] owh: Okay. Let me break it down. I can access http://192.168.1.103/ubuntu/ fine from my laptop. On the installer, I mark down "192.168.1.103" for Ubuntu archive mirror hostname. It does not work. [00:22] owh: Installer failed to download a file from the mirror... etc. I know this works. Ttffff! [00:22] Unless I'm missing something -- This is plain silly. :) [00:23] you probably are [00:23] i had the same issue, and it was my error [00:23] Can the PXE booted machine see the network? [00:23] i don't really remember what it was :( [00:24] I can boot Ubuntu PXE from the network as a boot choice. (from the same machine). [00:24] leaf-sheep: tail access and error log on apache [00:24] When I say "see the network", I mean, *after* it booted. [00:24] owh: Oh... DHCP network detected and configured automatically. Yes. [00:24] ivoks: Okay. [00:25] installer is probably looking for a file which you don't have or is in the wrong place [00:26] Ahh I see. "File does not exist: /var/www/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/debian-installer" [00:27] :) [00:33] uh... [00:33] Apply script for managing patches for debian builts aken from debian kernel-source-2.4.27 package [00:33] a bit rusty... [00:38] hey [00:38] I'm a bit Rusty [00:38] mostly I'm Russell [00:41] Which tool should I use to clone one hard drive (60gb) to a target drive (500gb). I have a raid 0 and I need to change out the drives and not lose anything. [00:42] Wheres the best place for a newbie to start being a ubunt server admin? I run kubuntu and ubuntu on client side, but I'd like to get more involved. [00:43] RussellAlan: get an extra machine and put ubuntu-server on it [00:43] RussellAlan you looking to contribute to Ubuntu? [00:44] virtualization [00:44] hi i have a ubuntu 8.10 server and im lookking to put a counter strike source gaming server on it [00:44] set up server in virt env and start playing :) [00:44] i know the steps on how to do it but im having trouble doing it through console access only [00:44] bogeyd6: always. [00:45] !contribute [00:45] To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [00:45] I'm looking for a good tutorial site. [00:45] oh you mean you want to setup an ubuntu server [00:46] Well yes, I can do that fine, I'd just like a good site for learning [00:46] I know the best place is here. [00:46] But... [00:46] ohhhh [00:47] RussellAlan: I'm a big fan of "sink or swim"... if you have some extra hardware, just install it and try to get Apache2, SQL, Samba, Squid, and postfix working [00:47] RussellAlan https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers [00:49] its probably best to pick a goal and then work towards it. Such as "I want to host my own family website" or "I would like to use linux to play music at my party" [00:49] Jagged: definitely, so am I [00:49] I've done it all before, this time I'd just like to take a new approach to it. [00:49] RussellAlan: bogeyd6 said it better... define a goal, and do it. [00:50] What do you mean? [00:50] hello i have a ubuntu 8.10 server and i am trying to install a counterstrike source gaming server on it i know the steps on how to complete this normally but i currently only have console access and i am getting hung up on some of the steps does someone mind helping [00:50] If you've done it all before, does that not satisfy your original query? [00:50] It does, but I dunno, I want to recreate the experience [00:50] lol [00:50] Deaglebear: does cs not have its own channel? [00:51] what do u mean jagged [00:51] i dont think so [00:51] i tried contacting valve support and they said i should come here lol u would know better [00:51] Deaglebear: #counter-server @ gamesnet.net [00:51] ahh no thats all just normal gamers [00:52] they linked me to the steps [00:52] but all of them included things that i cant do in console or do not know how [00:52] i know it can be done i just dont know how [00:53] back when I ran a CS beta server it was pretty straightforward... run the binary in a screen [00:53] yes [00:53] thats how i normally do it [00:53] but i do not have access to anything but a console [00:53] RussellAlan: have you configured a router before? [00:53] thats where my problem lies [00:53] RussellAlan: iptables is always fun to deal with [00:53] Deaglebear: ubuntu server only has console interface [00:54] o ok cool [00:54] lol [00:54] Deaglebear: that's normal and that's awesome [00:54] even better lol [00:54] ive never worked with the server end on ubuntu before [00:54] lol, i love you all's enthusiasm [00:54] maybe if i have one of u look at the steps of how to do this u can tell me how to make it work in the console? [00:54] if you'd have shiny gui, you'd still need to open a terminal and type all that installation stuff, probably [00:58] ivoks can u look at these steps and tell me where i am going wrong? [00:58] it's 2AM here [00:58] i'd probably miss something [00:58] Deaglebear: where does it fail? [00:58] Deaglebear: that's where you're going wrong [00:59] well it doesnt fail [00:59] really [00:59] i mean [00:59] i cant even get started [00:59] the first step is First of all download hldsupdatetool from the VALVe webserver. Make a dir called srcds_l, and save hldsupdatetool in that dir and run it. (Check this out when you have an uncompress error.) [01:00] first step is to log into your server [01:00] im on that [01:00] already lol [01:01] it says to use these commands but they cant be correct [01:01] mkdir srcds_l [01:01] cd srcds_l [01:01] wget http://www.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin [01:01] chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin [01:01] ./hldsupdatetool.bin [01:01] ./steam [01:02] looks ok to me [01:02] ok [01:02] well when i do the chmod thing nothing happens [01:03] first time using unix/linux? [01:03] first time really diving into the command line [01:03] if everything is ok, most of the time, unix/linux systems are quiet [01:03] im ok with some of the simple stuff [01:03] they complain only if something is wrong [01:04] ok now when i do the ./hlds thing it says no such directory [01:04] but i bet i made the stupid mistake i need to not put the . huh [01:04] chmod turns your file in executable program [01:05] yes you need [01:05] that still did not work [01:05] how do you know it didn't? [01:05] there was no fireworks? :) [01:06] bash: /hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory [01:06] did you wget it? [01:06] but it downloaded i saw it [01:06] Saving to: `hldsupdatetool.bin' [01:06] 100%[======================================>] 3,513,408 1.26M/s in 2.7s [01:06] 2009-10-14 23:57:34 (1.26 MB/s) - `hldsupdatetool.bin' saved [3513408/3513408] [01:06] ./ [01:06] just copy paste the command [01:06] k [01:06] notice the . and the / [01:07] ivoks: please respond to my mail soon! [01:07] says ./ is a directery [01:08] i better go to bed or else i might break CoC [01:08] Is there a command line tool (i.e. non-VNC) to connect to KVM virtual machines? [01:08] KVM virtual machine console's I should say [01:11] bogeyd6: are you still looking for a solution to clone your harddrive [01:14] zul: ! [01:14] ivoks: hmm? [01:14] zul: you haven't applied those changes to dovecot i've sent you?! [01:15] ivoks: i havent uploaded a new version [01:15] oh [01:15] sorry :) [01:15] i can apply the changes to 1.1.x though if you send me your patch again [01:15] right after my kid goes to sleep ;) [01:16] zul: done [01:16] ivoks: will be uploaded in the next couple of days i mean hours ;) [01:16] hehe ok [01:17] i had a week from hell :/ === jfluhmann_ is now known as jfluhmann_texaso === jfluhmann_texaso is now known as jflu_texasoss [01:24] good night [01:31] hey i've run into a problem after installing ubuntu-server 9.04 i don't know how to describe this other then top write out what it says. [01:32] MP-BIOS bug : 8254 timer not connected for IO-APIC [01:32] Gave up waiting for root device. [01:32] first one is irrelevant [01:32] real problem is that it didn't found root device [01:32] that's a disk [01:33] i'm stuck at a (initramfs) prompt [01:33] how did you partion the disk? [01:33] did you set up lvm? raid? [01:33] no lvm and didn't need raid its a single disk [01:34] i'll reinstall if it's better to have had lvm done with it [01:34] that probably won't solve the problem [01:34] you are in initramfs? [01:35] y [01:35] ya* [01:35] does ls -d /dev/sd* [01:35] outputs anything? [01:35] sda5 sda2 sda1 sda [01:36] so, partitions are there [01:36] did you set up crypted home partition? [01:36] nope [01:38] what kind of sata controller is that? [01:39] scsi adaptor [01:39] which one? [01:39] one sec [01:40] adaptec? [01:40] adaptec scsi [01:40] bios v3.10 [01:40] adaptec is a bit slow on detecting disks... [01:41] so what might happened is that initrd gave up on waiting :) [01:41] just read online that you can somehow edit the grub file and make it wait longer [01:42] then do it :) [01:42] ivoks: stupid question - last time I got stuck after grub the UUID in the menu.lst was incorrect. [01:43] that also could be an issue [01:43] but i've never heard about wrong UUID [01:43] I actually cloned that installation with rsync [01:44] on another disk? [01:44] :) [01:44] every partition has uniq uuid [01:44] exactly :-) [01:44] cloning files (not partitions) with rsync will produce problems :) [01:45] don't specify uuid? [01:45] could anybody tell me how much space ubuntu server takes up on hard drive? I am just installing LAMP [01:45] heh [01:45] my guess would be ~500M [01:46] mushroomtwo: could try that but ubuntu defaults into putting the UUID in the grub command list. [01:46] there's a reason for that [01:46] how I miss editing grub manually in gentoo. [01:47] i had a server with SATA and SCSI disk [01:47] once SATA was sda and on another boot SCSI was sda [01:48] I guess depends on which module loads first which might not be predictable all time. [01:49] and some scsi adapters have irregular scaning time [01:49] adaptec for example :) [01:50] anyway... [01:50] it's 3AM [01:50] good night [01:50] gn8 [01:59] i ended up adding rootdelay=90 to the kernal line on the main boot selection and it seems to be fine [02:09] http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5241602&CatId=3586 do you guys think this would make a decent chassis for a web/mail server for small biz, 20 or so mail users, moderate web traffic? [02:12] i'm trying to go cheap, obviously [02:16] New bug: #451801 in mysql-dfsg-5.1 (main) "some keys print characters instead of performing their actions" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/451801 [02:40] hey guys I have a quick question about Ubuntu cloud [02:42] If I want to make my own "cloud" system can I use this software without going through anyone else? [02:42] I don't want anyone else involved but myself [02:42] I want to run it off my own server and my own connection. [02:45] anyone happen to know if ubuntu 8.04 server on ec2 has some issues with spontaneous reboots over the course of a few months? doesn't seem especially load-dependent, but it'll suddenly grind to a halt and then reboot. only happened twice in the last 8 months [02:46] says ./ is a directery [02:46] Sorell: short answer yes. [02:47] cool ty zoopster [02:47] I have a dual core AMD machine just lying around asking for a purpose. === Axims_ is now known as Axims [02:51] Sorell: looking for some case studies if you are so inclined let me know [02:51] okay [02:51] fallous_: have not heard of that...it's the Canonical 8.04 image or Alestic or another? [02:52] alestic [02:52] what do I need to do? [02:54] guess it could be something like lighttpd leaking memory, but that's not an especially unstable webserver [02:55] Deaglebear: ./ is your current PWD [02:55] Deaglebear: that is, the directory you are in can always be referenced by ./ [02:56] wow [02:57] im pulling my hair out aparently its impossible to do through ssh [02:57] Deaglebear: I'm sure it is. [02:57] source server and ubuntu server are not happy together [02:57] possible, that is [02:57] Deaglebear: what errors are you getting [02:58] i dont even really know [02:58] im extra confused [02:58] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-76483.html [02:58] suposidly that will work [02:58] but i cant get it to work at all [02:58] im familiar with linux basics and thats it ive setup cs servers prolly 100 times and never had this much trouble [02:59] Deaglebear: paste your ssh output to pastebin [02:59] but im stuck with only being able to use ssh considering its the server edition [02:59] Deaglebear: so what is the problem then [02:59] so im extremely confused [02:59] i dont even know what to paste theres nothing there [03:00] it all goes wrong when i download the hlds thing [03:00] i get no error [03:00] but when i do ./hldsupdatetool.bin [03:00] it says it isnt there [03:00] did you chmod +x the bin? [03:00] yea [03:01] and says nothing afterward [03:01] ls -lah | grep hlds [03:01] anything with that? [03:01] hmm [03:01] one sec [03:01] lemme go through the steps again and try that when i get there [03:01] you've downloaded it with weget already, correct? [03:02] ya but i have whats called a slice [03:02] from slicehost [03:02] and i reset my slice [03:02] fallous_: do post something to alestic...not sure where, but Eric is very helpful [03:02] so one sec [03:03] yeah [03:05] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3.4M Sep 2 2005 hldsupdatetool.bin [03:05] thats what i got [03:06] Deaglebear: okay, can you chown youruser:youruser hldsupdatetool.bin [03:06] ? [03:06] what? [03:06] sorry im not super good at all this yet [03:06] your account username [03:06] chown name:name hldsupdatetool.bin [03:07] i shud type that? [03:07] yes [03:07] it may not let you [03:07] k [03:07] it just went to the nextline [03:07] so i assume it worked [03:08] yes [03:08] ok so now try to chmod again? [03:08] ./hldsupdatetool.bin [03:08] no [03:08] o [03:08] ok [03:09] no such file or directory [03:09] same as before [03:09] hm [03:09] ya this is why i am so confused lol [03:09] ls it again Deaglebear [03:10] k [03:10] if it's owned by root a user won't be able to change it w/o using sudo [03:10] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3.4M Sep 2 2005 hldsupdatetool.bin [03:10] so then how do i work it with sudo [03:11] well... if you're paying for a shell account, you have no sude [03:11] i guess im confused where its messing up [03:11] *sudo [03:11] right...so two options Deaglebear "sudo ./hlds....bin" or sudo chown ... [03:11] but he has a slice...it's not a vps [03:11] ah [03:11] haven't used slicehost, so that was a question [03:12] well its a vps but i do have sudo [03:12] okay [03:12] i mean im loged in as root [03:12] wat? [03:12] do you have a user account? [03:12] who shows you logged in as root? [03:12] Deaglebear: whoami [03:12] root... [03:13] it said i had to put programs on as root or it wudnt work [03:13] okay [03:13] because its a slice [03:13] hm [03:13] allright [03:13] where are you in the filesystem?
