[01:14] whats been updated on vmbuilder since hardy? now at karmic? huge diff? [01:28] uhh virt-install or vmbuilder? The docs reference them both. [02:50] how to i start the mouse deamon for gnome-desktop ?????????????? [03:00] tos: Try #ubuntu, this place is for server support. === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [06:27] bug 1 [06:27] Launchpad bug 1 in Ubuntu Jaunty "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 === FireCrotch_ is now known as FireCrotch [08:06] hey all [08:07] how do put the iso on to usb [08:07] so i can install from usb [08:07] sabgenton: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [08:08] the usb creator from the desktop iso does not seem to work with it server iso [08:09] jmarsden: is there a usb-creator that works with the server iso? [08:11] I'm not sure... it shouldn't matter. What error are you getting? Worst case, try unetbootin instead. [08:13] yeah i'll do that [08:13] just wanted to use the offica [08:13] l [08:13] meah mis as well [08:13] md5 check sums do not match [08:14] there some flags u can use for the cli isn't there? [08:15] the iso checks against the digest md5 so I'm not shure whats not matching [08:15] unless the usb creator only works with the desktop iso not server [08:17] The ubuntu-creator-gtk help says it requires a "Ubuntu Desktop Edition" ... [08:17] Not many people want to boot servers from USB sticks, I suspect... most servers have hard drives they can boot from :) [08:51] jmarsden: not all servers have cd to boot from [08:51] but ok cheers [08:52] 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. [08:53] Or try a USB external CDROm drive, most modern motherboards can boot from those. [08:53] usb stick is more conveniant [08:54] I have no spare cdrom/dvdrom drive at the moment [08:56] 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. [08:57] I had a ide to usb cable once I could just atache any external ide drive to the compture via the cable [08:57] and it came with a molex power adapter [08:57] to wall plug [09:16] jmarsden: this was an easy solution http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/u910/USB-Installer-for-Ubuntu-v0.2.exe [09:23] Is Ubuntu Server's out of the box security settings very vulnerable and weak? [10:04] Alpha61: no [10:05] Alpha61: it's actually very secure by default. There's only a few things I change [10:10] Thanks :D [10:10] np [10:12] 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? [10:13] i meant a link on wordpress website. sorry [10:13] www-data:www-data [10:13] I'll try that. Thank you very much Mtech! [10:13] np :) [10:17] sleepy time; 04:17 [10:17] Alpha61: good luck [10:17] !info wordpress [10:17] wordpress (source: wordpress): weblog manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.4-1ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 5191 kB, installed size 19040 kB [10:18] Alpha61: You could also try to install it from the repos; I've never done it though. [10:18] I finished installing it [10:18] cool [10:18] and changing the folder ownership worked! Thanks [10:18] :) [10:18] but now uploading theme doesn't work. [10:19] maybe FTP server doesn't run on default on Ubuntu Server? [10:19] chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/wordpress [10:20] I'm new to Server stuff. I used to mess around with desktops and destroy partition lol) sorry unnecessary info on irc channel [10:20] MTek: I did that [10:20] :P I used to do that a lot as well [10:21] Failed to connect to FTP Server server:21 [10:21] oh [10:21] on the wordpress dashboard [10:21] no - no default ftp server [10:21] use rsync or scp [10:21] I have to pass out now.... [10:21] g'night [10:21] thanks for helping [10:22] gnight [12:12] ahoy [12:42] how do you resize hd partition through ssh [12:43] cfdisk or fdisk [12:57] is it safe to use on live partition? [13:00] Maleko: mounted????? [13:01] RoyK, yes. its a remote server with a single partition only [13:06] don't do it [13:06] that is, it is possible, and it might perhaps even work [13:06] but if it crashes, it crashes big time [13:07] MTecknology: that chown command is NOT good [13:12] RoyK, http://pastebin.com/d1fbfde62 [13:12] 3 partitions actually [13:12] and what are you trying to do? [13:13] looks like a system installed on an 80gig drive, a small /boot partition, 4 gigs swap and the rest for the root [13:13] free up some spaces on the largest partition and make a new partition out of it [13:13] is sda3 your root? [13:14] wtf do you want to split the partition???? [13:14] if you want something like that, make a subdirectory and bind-mount it somewhere [13:14] calm down. [13:14] or make a file with dd if=/dev/zero of=somefile bs=1M count=numberofmegs, mkfs on that and mount -o loop [13:15] shrinking a filesystem on linux is not trivial [13:16] hm [13:16] seems i'm wrong [13:16] resize2fs can shrink ext[234] [13:17] still, I don't see the point unless you want to install another OS on the box [13:18] i actually intend to use the partition as a temporary backup space [13:18] if so, I'd rather just make a loopback device [13:18] or something [13:18] if your drive dies, all the partitions die as well [13:20] loopback still reside on same partition no? [13:20] loopback dev [13:20] well, the file on which the loopback device resides obviously resides on a partition, yes [13:20] but the chance of a filesystem corruption is _small_ [13:21] far smaller than the chance of messing up while resizing a partition [13:23] 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] not with loopback [13:23] why is that? [13:23] use dd to create an empty file, say, 10GB [13:24] mkfs on that and mount it -o loop [13:24] that file won't be touched by the rest of the fs [13:24] ahh.. [13:25] 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] i guess i'll go with that idea [13:25] add it to the fstab and you're done [13:41] New bug: #248628 in kvm (main) "Sound dies on amd64 with WinXP guest" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/248628 [14:49] Is there a default username and password for the Ubuntu Cloud admin page?

[18:26] does it work? [18:26] http://dudko.gotdns.com/ [18:27] dudko: Yes. I see the standard default "It works" page there. [18:28] 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] ? [18:29] There is no packet filter (firewall) enabled on Ubuntu systems by default.

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