| sabgenton | hey all | 08:06 |
| sabgenton | how do put the iso on to usb | 08:07 |
| sabgenton | so i can install from usb | 08:07 |
| jmarsden | sabgenton: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 08:07 |
| sabgenton | the usb creator from the desktop iso does not seem to work with it server iso | 08:08 |
| sabgenton | jmarsden: is there a usb-creator that works with the server iso? | 08:09 |
| jmarsden | I'm not sure... it shouldn't matter. What error are you getting? Worst case, try unetbootin instead. | 08:11 |
| sabgenton | yeah i'll do that | 08:13 |
| sabgenton | just wanted to use the offica | 08:13 |
| sabgenton | l | 08:13 |
| sabgenton | meah mis as well | 08:13 |
| sabgenton | md5 check sums do not match | 08:13 |
| sabgenton | there some flags u can use for the cli isn't there? | 08:14 |
| sabgenton | the iso checks against the digest md5 so I'm not shure whats not matching | 08:15 |
| sabgenton | unless the usb creator only works with the desktop iso not server | 08:15 |
| jmarsden | The ubuntu-creator-gtk help says it requires a "Ubuntu Desktop Edition" ... | 08:17 |
| jmarsden | Not many people want to boot servers from USB sticks, I suspect... most servers have hard drives they can boot from :) | 08:17 |
| sabgenton | jmarsden: not all servers have cd to boot from | 08:51 |
| sabgenton | but ok cheers | 08:51 |
| jmarsden | sabgenton: If they have a SATA interface on the motherboard you can find a spare SATA CDROM drive and add it temporarily for initial OS installation. | 08:52 |
| jmarsden | Or try a USB external CDROm drive, most modern motherboards can boot from those. | 08:53 |
| sabgenton | usb stick is more conveniant | 08:53 |
| sabgenton | I have no spare cdrom/dvdrom drive at the moment | 08:54 |
| jmarsden | sabgenton: Fair enough. If you do much server building it might be worth investing in some spare parts... but for now unetbootin should get you going. | 08:56 |
| sabgenton | I had a ide to usb cable once I could just atache any external ide drive to the compture via the cable | 08:57 |
| sabgenton | and it came with a molex power adapter | 08:57 |
| sabgenton | to wall plug | 08:57 |
| sabgenton | jmarsden: this was an easy solution http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/u910/USB-Installer-for-Ubuntu-v0.2.exe | 09:16 |
| Alpha61 | Is Ubuntu Server's out of the box security settings very vulnerable and weak? | 09:23 |
| MTecknology | Alpha61: no | 10:04 |
| MTecknology | Alpha61: it's actually very secure by default. There's only a few things I change | 10:05 |
| Alpha61 | Thanks :D | 10:10 |
| MTecknology | np | 10:10 |
| Alpha61 | Working on Wordpress for testing purpose and trying to change the ownership of wp-content folder so the httpd server can read and write in that folder. A link to wordpress only assumes that the server name is www and the group name is www. How about on Ubuntu on out-of-box settings? | 10:12 |
| Alpha61 | i meant a link on wordpress website. sorry | 10:13 |
| MTecknology | www-data:www-data | 10:13 |
| Alpha61 | I'll try that. Thank you very much Mtech! | 10:13 |

| Alpha61 | I finished installing it | 10:18 |
| MTecknology | cool | 10:18 |
| Alpha61 | and changing the folder ownership worked! Thanks | 10:18 |
| MTecknology | :) | 10:18 |
| Alpha61 | but now uploading theme doesn't work. | 10:18 |
| Alpha61 | maybe FTP server doesn't run on default on Ubuntu Server? | 10:19 |

| clusty | ahoy | 12:12 |
| Maleko | how do you resize hd partition through ssh | 12:42 |
| bittin_ | cfdisk or fdisk | 12:43 |
| Maleko | is it safe to use on live partition? | 12:57 |
| RoyK | Maleko: mounted????? | 13:00 |
| Maleko | RoyK, yes. its a remote server with a single partition only | 13:01 |
| RoyK | don't do it | 13:06 |
| RoyK | that is, it is possible, and it might perhaps even work | 13:06 |
| RoyK | but if it crashes, it crashes big time | 13:06 |
| RoyK | MTecknology: that chown command is NOT good | 13:07 |
| Maleko | RoyK, http://pastebin.com/d1fbfde62 | 13:12 |
| Maleko | 3 partitions actually | 13:12 |
| RoyK | and what are you trying to do? | 13:12 |
| RoyK | looks like a system installed on an 80gig drive, a small /boot partition, 4 gigs swap and the rest for the root | 13:13 |
| Maleko | free up some spaces on the largest partition and make a new partition out of it | 13:13 |
| RoyK | is sda3 your root? | 13:13 |
| RoyK | wtf do you want to split the partition???? | 13:14 |
| RoyK | if you want something like that, make a subdirectory and bind-mount it somewhere | 13:14 |
| Maleko | calm down. | 13:14 |
| RoyK | or make a file with dd if=/dev/zero of=somefile bs=1M count=numberofmegs, mkfs on that and mount -o loop | 13:14 |
| RoyK | shrinking a filesystem on linux is not trivial | 13:15 |
| RoyK | hm | 13:16 |
| RoyK | seems i'm wrong | 13:16 |
| RoyK | resize2fs can shrink ext[234] | 13:16 |
| RoyK | still, I don't see the point unless you want to install another OS on the box | 13:17 |
| Maleko | i actually intend to use the partition as a temporary backup space | 13:18 |
| RoyK | if so, I'd rather just make a loopback device | 13:18 |
| RoyK | or something | 13:18 |
| RoyK | if your drive dies, all the partitions die as well | 13:18 |
| Maleko | loopback still reside on same partition no? | 13:20 |
| Maleko | loopback dev | 13:20 |
| RoyK | well, the file on which the loopback device resides obviously resides on a partition, yes | 13:20 |
| RoyK | but the chance of a filesystem corruption is _small_ | 13:20 |
| RoyK | far smaller than the chance of messing up while resizing a partition | 13:21 |
| Maleko | but that is troublesome if you were to recover deleted data from the partition, i guess? you might end up overwriting the data itself when you try to write it back | 13:23 |
| RoyK | not with loopback | 13:23 |
| Maleko | why is that? | 13:23 |
| RoyK | use dd to create an empty file, say, 10GB | 13:23 |
| RoyK | mkfs on that and mount it -o loop | 13:24 |
| RoyK | that file won't be touched by the rest of the fs | 13:24 |
| Maleko | ahh.. | 13:24 |
| RoyK | dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/file bs=1M count=10k && mke2fs -Fj /path/to/file && mount -o loop /path/to/file /some/place | 13:25 |
| Maleko | i guess i'll go with that idea | 13:25 |
| RoyK | add it to the fstab and you're done | 13:25 |

| dudko | hi. please, I am running LAMP on Ubuntu 9.10 desktop edition and I'd like to acces my localhost via browser with my free DNS adress. Could somebody help me? | 18:20 |
| jmarsden | dudko: Install apache2 ; configure your router to port forward port 80 to the Ubuntu machine ; point your "free DNS address" to your public IP address. | 18:24 |
| dudko | does it work? | 18:26 |
| dudko | http://dudko.gotdns.com/ | 18:26 |
| jmarsden | dudko: Yes. I see the standard default "It works" page there. | 18:27 |
| dudko | I can't belive, that it was som simple... thank you jmarsden. I disabled firewall for http port in router. And firewall in Ubuntu< | 18:28 |
| dudko | ? | 18:28 |
| jmarsden | There is no packet filter (firewall) enabled on Ubuntu systems by default. You can install ufw if you want to add a simple one. | 18:29 |

| sabgenton | could anybody kindly tell me the boot line for the server live cd? | 23:38 |
| MTecknology | sabgenton: hm? | 23:40 |
| jmarsden | sabgenton: Do you mean Boot Options = /cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-server.seed initrd=/install/initrd.gz quiet -- | 23:42 |
| sabgenton | yeah thats it! | 23:42 |
| sabgenton | thanks | 23:42 |
| sabgenton | so that what comes up on the boot menu? | 23:42 |
| sabgenton | if you choose edit this line | 23:43 |
| sabgenton | or whatever | 23:43 |
| jmarsden | sabgenton: Yes. | 23:44 |
| jmarsden | I just booted in it a virtualbox VM so I could see it. | 23:44 |
| jmarsden | It's what is displayed when you use F6 from the installer screen. | 23:44 |
| sabgenton | :D | 23:45 |
| sabgenton | thx | 23:45 |
| jmarsden | You're welcome | 23:45 |
| sabgenton | Boot Options = /cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-server.seed | 23:53 |
| sabgenton | jmarsden: is that a line? | 23:54 |
| sabgenton | with spaces? | 23:54 |
| jmarsden | sabgenton: That is what is displayed on screen. With spaces. That does not mean that is exactly what you need to enter in a config file... | 23:55 |
| sabgenton | no im try to enter that at boot | 23:55 |
| sabgenton | the same way u saw the line | 23:56 |
| sabgenton | only my lines differnt | 23:56 |
| sabgenton | so want to change it | 23:56 |
| sabgenton | its just ubuntu.seed not ubuntu-server.seed | 23:56 |
| sabgenton | do you think boot options is the heading then /cdr... is the acutual settings? | 23:57 |
| jmarsden | Then either you have a different server ISO (I used ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso) or you are doing something odd. | 23:57 |
| jmarsden | Just boot from your CD, hit F6, and edit your line to be the way you want. | 23:58 |
| MatBoy | what kind of security emails do you guys receive from websites ? | 23:59 |
| sabgenton | basicly I tryed usiing a program to put the iso on usb | 23:59 |
