| qwood | hi all, i have a question about quotas i wondered if anyone knew anything about. when i run "quotacheck -avugm" I get a warning that the quotafile //aquota.user and //aquota.group was probably truncated. is this ok? | 00:34 |
|---|---|---|
| twb | qwood: I very much doubt it | 00:36 |
| twb | Do those files exist? | 00:36 |
| qwood | :/ hmm. im following a guide. would you like a link to it? the double slash bothers me. | 00:37 |
| twb | The only guide you should be following is the Ubuntu Server Guide | 00:37 |
| qwood | mhm ok. ill look in the man page on quota for any clues and brb | 00:39 |
| qwood | hmm. i only have moderate knowlegde about linux and no knowledge of quotas. looking in the man i coulldnt find anything (allthough at least i think i understand what the command tried to do.) the files, also, do exist. | 00:43 |
| qwood | what can i do to troubleshoot this? you mentioned the Ubuntu Server Guide? | 00:43 |
| qwood | hmm... no idea/ help? :/ if not thats fine. just tell me so i don't waste anyone elses or my own time here... | 00:54 |
| qwood | by the way the official Server Guide gave me some interesting information, but nothing about quotas. | 00:55 |

| Lars2011 | if I have the mean round trip time of X milliseconds for reaching an httpd server installed on ubuntu, and I send a request of about 300 bytes, and get ~7 KB back, how would I use this information to estimate the total time needed for the request if I assume the page generation time on the server to be negligible? only an estimate is needed. | 03:16 |
| Lars2011 | is it okay to assume that 7KB fit into one TCP packet and the total page request time = rrt ? | 03:20 |
| Freeaqingme | Hi. Every time I reboot my server (not planning on doing that a lot, but still...) I need execute `/etc/init.d/networking restart` before the networking works. Any idea how come, and how to fix? It's a bare install of only a few minutes/hours old | 03:39 |
| Freeaqingme | 9.10, amd64 | 03:39 |
| Scarra3 | Ok I am new to setting up a server and I have no clue where to start. I am setting up a file server out of my old desktop so I decided to go with Ubuntu Server. | 03:45 |
| ball | Scarra3: I would like to know how to do that too, but I doubt it's easy. | 03:45 |
| Scarra3 | I see. | 03:45 |
| Scarra3 | One thing is should I use something like Gnome or KDE? | 03:47 |
| ball | Scarra3: No. | 03:47 |
| ball | (Not necessarily) | 03:48 |
| Scarra3 | Its more of I have been using ubuntu for 1 1/2 now and well I am not so good at the command line. | 03:48 |
| ball | 1.5 what though? | 03:49 |
| Scarra3 | Huh | 03:50 |
| Scarra3 | Ow 1 1/2 years | 03:50 |
| ball | Perhaps there's something available with a friendly (X? Web?) front end to Samba. It's not something I know about though. | 03:51 |
| ball | (we had to configure Samba the hard way) | 03:51 |
| Scarra3 | Ah well ill just half to learn how to use the command line | 03:52 |
| Scarra3 | Anyways is it ok if I do run a server off a wireless network. | 03:53 |
| ball | Samba is not easy to configure from the command line. | 03:53 |
| ball | Scarra3: define "off" | 03:53 |
| Scarra3 | As in instead of a wired connection to the router but a wireless connection since I am far away from the router | 03:54 |
| ball | Scarra3: you can't move the router? | 03:54 |
| ball | (or the server?) | 03:54 |
| Scarra3 | Nope | 03:56 |
| ball | Scarra3: it's possible, but not something I'd recommend. | 03:56 |
| Scarra3 | Well sadly I have no other choice | 03:56 |
| ball | Scarra3: that's a shame. | 03:57 |
| Scarra3 | Yup | 03:58 |
| Scarra3 | Ya but this is what I am going to be doing. The server is going to be a file server running on the wireless network and to gain access to the server you half to ssh to it. This is what I need help with because I dont know what I need to configure and setup to do this. | 03:59 |
| Scarra3 | Is that possible? | 04:04 |
| ball | Scarra3: Yes, I believe so. | 04:04 |
| ball | Wait though, what will the client machines be running as an OS? | 04:05 |
| Scarra3 | Ill be running a linux based OS | 04:05 |
| Scarra3 | Which is Ubuntu 9.10 | 04:05 |
| ball | just one client? | 04:05 |
| Scarra3 | Ya its my personal computer | 04:06 |
| Scarra3 | Im just using it as a personal file server | 04:06 |
| ball | That's... wierd. | 04:06 |
| Scarra3 | But I might try to access it from a windows machine at school | 04:06 |
| Scarra3 | So linux and windows | 04:07 |
| ball | Something I've done on the past is run a VNC server instance on a Linux host and then connected to it (from Linux and Windows machines) using VNC tunnelled through ssh. | 04:08 |
| ball | ...so I was running the apps at home (or at the other office), where nothing was blocked. | 04:08 |
| Scarra3 | Im installing Ubuntu Server 9.10 | 04:09 |
| ball | I have to go. Back later. | 04:13 |

| jkakar | Hi! | 07:38 |
| jkakar | I've got a UEC setup here on two boxes running lucid. | 07:39 |
| jkakar | It seems to be running, but when I try and download the stock karmic 32-bit image from the image store an error occurs during installation: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/358902/ | 07:39 |
| jkakar | I guess the next step is to either debug this or try to build/upload an image. | 07:39 |
| ttx | jkakar: yes :) | 07:40 |
| * ttx looks into euca2ools known bugs... | 07:40 | |
| jkakar | ttx: Cool. :) | 07:40 |
| ttx | jkakar: uploading an image works, maybe there was a regression in euca2ools as used by the imagestore | 07:41 |
| jkakar | ttx: I wonder if I should be trying to use UEC from source. That might make debugging easier. | 07:41 |
| jkakar | ttx: It could be. | 07:41 |
| jkakar | ttx: Yeah, the same error I pasted is in /var/log/image-store-proxy/image-store-proxy.log and there's a stack trace. | 07:43 |
| ttx | jkakar: the foolproof lucid procedure is described at http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/ServerECluster http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/ServerENode http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/ServerEConfig | 07:44 |
| jkakar | ttx: Ah cool, I didn't know about those, thanks. | 07:44 |
| ttx | also note that bug 503180 is often blocking us | 07:45 |
| uvirtbot` | Launchpad bug 503180 in eucalyptus "eucalyptus-cloud doesn't reply to requests" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/503180 | 07:45 |
| jkakar | ttx: I've been following the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/PackageInstall | 07:45 |
| ttx | but you seem to have gone farther | 07:45 |
| ttx | ah | 07:45 |
| ttx | Installing packages by hand, you might end up in registration issues, especially since we didn't refresh the karmic instructions | 07:46 |
| jkakar | ttx: Does this help: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/358903/ | 07:46 |
| ttx | Foolproof way is to use the UEC installer if you can | 07:46 |
| ttx | yes it does | 07:46 |
| ttx | The components didn't register | 07:47 |
| ttx | At least, not fully | 07:47 |
| ttx | Doing packageinstall you'll have to finalize registration by hand, usually by syncing some keys | 07:47 |
| jkakar | Ah, it looks suspicious. | 07:47 |
| twb | I'm running an NFSv3 server (using the kernel implementation). For unimportant reasons, I got told to turn it off Right Now, and ensure it's disabled overnight. | 07:48 |
| ttx | jkakar: I'd definitely recommend using the UEC installer that does everything for you :) | 07:48 |
| jkakar | ttx: Hmm, it's late here. Tomorrow I'll use the installer and see if I can get further. | 07:48 |
| jkakar | ttx: Thanks for your help. | 07:48 |
| twb | I did an /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server stop and an /etc/init.d/rpcinfo stop. rpcinfo -p fails (good), and /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server status tells me that nfsd is down (good). | 07:48 |
| ttx | jkakar: if not, then it's a bug :) Alpha2 passed those testcases I point you to :) | 07:49 |
| twb | But netstat says that there are still rpc.mountd and rpc.lockd and rpc.quotad services listening. | 07:49 |
| twb | Should I be freaking out about that? | 07:49 |
| jkakar | ttx: Sweet. I'll report back about how I go. I'm digging into implementing the cloud topology integration features for landscape-client so I'll probably be pestering you with questions/bug reports about UEC. :) | 07:49 |
| twb | I suspect it's just the NFS system trying to have a "clean" hangup with the desktops. | 07:49 |
| ttx | jkakar: greta :) | 07:49 |
| ttx | great, even | 07:50 |
| TimoH | Hi, I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 Server into VMware Server 2.0.2 as guest OS. Most is working fine, but I have the problem that the file systems don't unmount cleanly upon reboot. Any hints where I can start searching, please? | 08:16 |
| twb | TimoH: what kind of filesystems? | 08:20 |
| TimoH | ext4 on LVM | 08:20 |
| TimoH | Haven't used Linux for a while, so I just went with the defaults during installation... | 08:21 |
| twb | Are you triggering the shutdown from within the VM, or are you telling VMware to initiate a shutdown? | 08:21 |
| TimoH | from within the guest (shutdown -r now) | 08:21 |
| TimoH | BTW: Is the console output shown during startup (fsck msgs) logged in a file somewhere? | 08:24 |
| twb | TimoH: I don't see why you would get an unclean shutdown in that case | 08:29 |
| twb | Have you asked #vmware if this is a known issue? | 08:29 |
| TimoH | I'm just about to reinstall the whole stuff with an older variant of Ubuntu Server than 9.10 is not properly supported on vmware server. 8.04LTS comes to my mind. But even the current 8.04.3 is not oficcialy supported, only 8.04.2 | 08:30 |
| TimoH | Yeah, asked there. No real input yet. | 08:30 |
| TimoH | And there's "experimental" support for 9.04 | 08:31 |
| cef | twb: you using netstat -p to get process names? | 08:43 |
| twb | cef: -nap, but yes | 08:45 |
| cef | twb: grepped for the process names in /etc/init.d and /etc ? | 08:45 |
| twb | cef: ah, you're saying I should stop quotarpc and nfs-common? | 08:46 |
| cef | twb: that'd be the ones.. | 08:46 |
| twb | Thanks. | 08:46 |
| cef | (haven't got nfs running here.. just working form first principles) | 08:46 |
| cef | np | 08:46 |
| twb | Normally I'd just blithely kill -9 stuff to be sure, but because NFS is in the kernel I get scared and don't trust ps and netstat | 08:47 |
| cef | fair call too | 08:48 |
| ploum | hello | 08:54 |
| ploum | I don't understand ufw | 08:54 |
| ploum | I've a jabber server and I added a config file in /etc/ufw/application.d | 08:54 |
| twb | ploum: welcome to the club | 08:54 |
| ploum | but, as soon as I enable ufw, I don't have jabber anymore | 08:55 |
| twb | I think it just runs iptables-restore --dont-flush on each file in turn | 08:55 |
| twb | (Make that --no-flush) | 08:55 |
| ploum | twb: so it means that old rules are kept ? | 08:56 |
| twb | ploum: well, it flushes initially, but I mean when loading each rule file in sequence | 08:56 |
| twb | Because otherwise it'd have to actually parse each file and then merge them in order to pass iptables-restore a single file, and I hope ufw doesn't try to be that "clever". | 08:57 |
| maxagaz | how to make a fsck on a lvm partition ? | 08:59 |

| ploum | putting a file in /etc/ufw is not enought | 09:04 |
| ploum | but is it done at each reboot ? | 09:04 |

| ploum | localhost kernel: IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:1c:c0:29:09:61:00:d | 09:06 |

| jiboumans | good morning | 09:07 |
| ploum | hello | 09:08 |
| cef | ploum: that's probably the LOG target. you could (possibly) comment out the rule that sends stuff to the LOG target? | 09:09 |
| ploum | cef : I don't use iptables directly, only with ufw and psad | 09:10 |
| ploum | do you believe it's a psad rule ? | 09:10 |
| cef | ploum: then check the ufw rules, the config and/or /etc/default/ufw for mention of logging | 09:11 |

| kirkland | jiboumans: ttx: FWIW, I'm very close to a qemu-kvm upload for Lucid | 09:59 |
| kirkland | jiboumans: ttx: I have packaged the new bios projects, and filed MIRs, one approved, waiting on the other | 10:00 |
| kirkland | jiboumans: ttx: as for the build itself, there's something broken for the mobile's static arm build | 10:00 |
| ttx | kirkland: ah, I was wondering why we needed those *bios things in main -- so it's new deps for qemu-kvm, I gather | 10:00 |
| kirkland | jiboumans: ttx: lool helped with an initial patch, which he said fixed the build for him | 10:00 |
| kirkland | ttx: yeah, so qemu redid the way the bios blobs are built | 10:01 |
| ttx | kirkland: good news, that was a mess | 10:01 |
| kirkland | ttx: basically, they were redistributing that source | 10:01 |
| kirkland | ttx: they stopped doing that | 10:01 |
| kirkland | ttx: recommeding that we go and get that, build and package it from the upstream bios projects projects | 10:01 |
| kirkland | ttx: still awaiting approval of the seabios MIR | 10:02 |
| kirkland | ttx: and I need lool to help track down that arm build problem | 10:02 |
| kirkland | ttx: but I hope to have a new kvm in the archive by the end of the week | 10:02 |
| kirkland | ttx: i just added those tasks to the eucalyptus spec; let me know if there's a better place for it | 10:03 |
| ttx | kirkland: ok for me | 10:03 |
| jiboumans | kirkland: works for me | 10:04 |

| j416 | ("syslog" client doesn't seem to exist, I am lost) | 13:09 |

| j416 | do I have to view its log file(s) manually or is there a utility? | 13:17 |
| pmatulis | j416: logs are just files, so just read the various files (under /var/log) | 13:19 |
| j416 | ok. | 13:19 |
| j416 | (I'm used to running the "syslog" client from anywhere) | 13:19 |
| pmatulis | j416: use 'tail -f /var/log/whatever' to view new messages being appended | 13:20 |
| j416 | pmatulis: yes, I am aware, thanks. Just thought there might be a log viewer app :) | 13:20 |

| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 14:06 |
| Freeaqingme | !upstart | 14:07 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 14:07 |

| Freeaqingme | Pici, care helping out here for a sec? I am on9.10 server edition, and need to run /etc/init.d/networking restart before my networking becomes available. How would I fix that through upstart? (I should have a /etc/event? Well, I dont...) | 14:17 |
| Pici | Freeaqingme: Er.. I'm not sure how to change the ordering, but networking is what brings up your network, why would you restart it? | 14:21 |
| Freeaqingme | Pici, cause for some reason I cannot use my NIC's until I run that command (after rebooting) | 14:22 |

| jjohansen | smoser: re Bug #494565 | 17:44 |
| uvirtbot` | Launchpad bug 494565 in linux "support ramdiskless boot for relevant kvm drive interfaces in -virtual" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/494565 | 17:44 |
| jjohansen | smoser: we either need to build modules into the server kernel, or create a new flavour | 17:44 |
| jjohansen | we can't roll it into -virtual as things stand | 17:45 |
| smoser | yeah, since -virtual == -server or -generic-pae with less modules | 17:45 |
| jjohansen | yep, and the way the kernel packaging works is that we can't change configs for sub flavours (which virtual is) | 17:45 |
| smoser | i think the kernel team has to decide if maintaining a -virtual that is not a subset is acceptable. | 17:46 |
| smoser | s/subset/sub flavour/ | 17:46 |
| zul | hmmm | 17:46 |
| smoser | obviously it was originally done as a sub flavour because its lighter on maintainence | 17:46 |
| smoser | and many other things | 17:46 |
| jjohansen | smoser: well it somewhat depends on 1. how important it is, 2. can -server have a few extra modules builtin | 17:47 |
| smoser | i think its possible that the virtio drivers would not have negative affects if built in, but i would understand people not wanting to build the other required drivers in. | 17:47 |
| smoser | i don't really know how important it is. personally, i dont think that ramdiskless boot is all that terribly important for kvm (or for ec2). However, others decided to have this blueprint as 'High' | 17:48 |
| jjohansen | smoser: well its always a trade off, there is going to always be something some one doesn't want builtin | 17:48 |
| smoser | if it was enough to just build in virtio, it'd be great | 17:49 |
| smoser | however, its not. because euc does not use virtio | 17:49 |
| jjohansen | right | 17:49 |
| smoser | i think we should rpbobaly discuss this at the server team meeting tomorrow | 17:49 |
| jjohansen | yep, that was the plan just looking for some earlier feedback | 17:50 |
| smoser | well, this is what i expected you would tell me | 17:50 |
| smoser | :) | 17:50 |
| smoser | i do think, though, that a '-virtual' kernel that doesn't have drivers for kvm virtio is somewhat of a bad name :) | 17:51 |
| jjohansen | I would agree | 17:51 |
| smoser | jjohansen, i think you have to know how much maintainecne this is going to be for the kernel team | 17:57 |
| smoser | how hard is it to say "take -generic-pae (or -server)" and modify this list of CONFIG vars | 17:57 |
| smoser | i really woudlnt think that run-time you'd see a lot of differences after boot and modules loaded between the 2 config settings | 17:58 |
| smoser | its really all about "remove ramdisk" | 17:58 |
| jjohansen | smoser: it isn't as bad as the EC2 kernel, but more than what -virtual is currently | 17:58 |
| smoser | so, jiboumans/ttx, we need to add discussion of this issue to meeting tomorrow (this issue == 494565) | 17:59 |
| jiboumans | smoser: tack it onto the agenda | 17:59 |
| smoser | jjohansen, i really woud'nt expect that the different kenrel configs would end up with different behavior (ie, need to fix bugs on one that didn't exist on the other) | 17:59 |
| jjohansen | smoser: well it can happen with different configs, but at least they are all the same code base | 18:00 |
| zul | -virtual is kind of a hack isnt it? | 18:00 |
| smoser | its basically just a whitelist of modules to include in the sub-package | 18:00 |
| jjohansen | yep | 18:00 |
| smoser | uses the same kernel and does not package some modules | 18:00 |
| smoser | s/kernel/config/ | 18:00 |
| zul | meh and sometimes users expec something to be there when it isnt | 18:00 |
| smoser | jjohansen, so is it decided that it is unacceptable to change the list of CONFIG_* to 'y' ? | 18:03 |
| au | any ideas on a lightweight blogging thing like wordpress ? | 18:03 |
| jjohansen | smoser: you mean for -server? I was going to defer that decision to the server team | 18:04 |
| smoser | hm... ok. | 18:04 |
| smoser | i figured that was a kernel tem discussion. | 18:05 |
| smoser | and note that it affects -generic-pae on i386 | 18:05 |
| smoser | as -virtual comes from that. | 18:05 |
| jjohansen | well in this case we already carry a -server kernel with custom configs, that would just be modifying the existing flavour as opposed to creating a new one | 18:05 |
| jjohansen | hrmm, yeah so it does | 18:06 |
| jjohansen | well either way server team input will go into the decision | 18:06 |
| smoser | i personally think that 'CONFIG_VIRTIO*' would have little to no negative. but i have no exact experience. just seems less risky. | 18:07 |
| smoser | getting CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_2=y could possibly have some issues if, for example, it was blacklisted for any reason | 18:07 |
| jjohansen | right | 18:08 |
| smoser | do you have a config diff of the entire set of changes that i'm asking for? | 18:08 |
| jjohansen | not yet | 18:09 |
| jjohansen | it is a very small diff though | 18:10 |
| smoser | can you possibly get the entire fallout of changing the following options on both -server and -generic-pae: | 18:12 |
| smoser | CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y | 18:12 |
| smoser | CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y | 18:12 |
| smoser | CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_2=y | 18:13 |
| smoser | that last one is the highest risk, IMHO, and it has right now | 18:13 |
| smoser | CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_2=m | 18:13 |
| smoser | CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_DMA_ADDRESSING_MODE=1 | 18:13 |
| smoser | CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_DEFAULT_TAGS=16 | 18:13 |
| smoser | CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_MAX_TAGS=64 | 18:13 |
| smoser | CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_MMIO=y | 18:13 |
| jjohansen | smoser: yeah, I am going to build a kernel once my chroot is done updating | 18:13 |
| smoser | i dont know if those options are configurable at module load time and *not* configurable if built in. that would be a functionality loss if it was the case. | 18:14 |
| jjohansen | they are configurable when builtin | 18:14 |
| smoser | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=762480 is the best hit i can find for "blacklist sym53c8xx" | 18:18 |

| Freeaqingme | alvin, re my networking issue, using the default config isn't possible of course when wanting to use 3 NIC's. Just decided to use an other version that does not suffer this issue. Thank you for your advice btw | 18:55 |
| alvin | Freeaqingme: yes, Karmic is suffering from a lot of boot issues. I'm sure it will be fixed in Lucid. Good luck. | 19:01 |
| Freeaqingme | heh, not waiting another 3 monts (and not using a pre alpha either) | 19:02 |

| marks256 | How can i set a user's password to a pre-encrypted md5 sum via command line? | 21:01 |
| Jeeves_ | marks256: usermod, i believe | 21:01 |
| guntbert | marks256: in that case edit (with root rights) /etc/shadow (but be careful) | 21:02 |
| marks256 | guntbert, needs to be done from a script | 21:02 |
| marks256 | Jeepbeats, thanks. i'll check that out | 21:02 |
| marks256 | it keeps dropping the first character of the encrypted password? | 21:08 |
| marks256 | When i type in usermod -p $1$5VSNNaUR$7dUcIw5R9jrxfW3oQk86O. dan into the console, it works, but this is what's put in /etc/shadow VSNNaURdUcIw5R9jrxfW3oQk86O. What gives? | 21:14 |
| guntbert | marks256: put "" around it | 21:15 |
| marks256 | guntbert, did. that did nothing | 21:15 |
| guntbert | marks256: then I don't know - sorry | 21:15 |
| marks256 | it works when i manually paste the string into /etc/shadow, so the encrypted password is right | 21:16 |
| marks256 | guntbert, thanks anyway | 21:16 |
| guntbert | marks256: try with ' | 21:16 |
| marks256 | wait. could it be that the console is interpreting $1 and $5 as variables? | 21:16 |
| guntbert | marks256: that was my idea too | 21:17 |
| marks256 | bingo. that's the problem! | 21:17 |
| marks256 | works now :) | 21:17 |
| marks256 | ' fixed it | 21:17 |
| guntbert | !yai | 21:17 |
| marks256 | thanks :) | 21:17 |
| unit3 | Hey, all, trying to follow the docs at help.ubuntu.com for karmic/server on setting up slapd with the new cn=config setup... | 21:18 |
| unit3 | but it claims "dpkg-reconfigure slapd" will let you set an admin password... and it's not, on my system, so I have no idea what bind DN or admin password to use. | 21:19 |
| unit3 | the ones I've found in independent docs (cn=admin,cn=config, password=config) don't seem to work. | 21:19 |
| unit3 | anyone in here familiar with the current openldap stuff? | 21:19 |

| isg | Hi. Any cloud experts in here? | 22:33 |
| jkakar | Interesting, I'm reinstalling my UEC with the installer, using the alpha2 ISO's. | 22:42 |
| jacob_ | an anyone tell me what would cause this error message Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name | 22:42 |
| jkakar | I started by rebuilding my node controller... when it got to component selection it told me it detected a cloud controller and blocked me from setting one up. | 22:42 |
| unit3 | jacob_: is that from apache, and your local ip isn't in reverse dns? | 22:43 |
| jkakar | I ended up turning off the machine with cloud controller and restarting the install, because when this happens, the installer give you no way to go back or rescan for UEC components. | 22:43 |
| unit3 | and you haven't manually set a hostname? | 22:43 |
| jacob_ | unit3: yes sorry forgot to add that...it is latest verison of apache, this is the first server i've set up, so far none of the walkthroughs i've looked at have said anything about revers dns | 22:44 |
| unit3 | jacob_: it's usually easier to just define a local hostname in /etc/apache2/conf.d/local-options or whatever. | 22:44 |
| unit3 | not that it really matters, that's just apache complaining, it has no real affect on server operation. | 22:45 |
| unit3 | which is probably why the howtos don't cover it. | 22:45 |
| unit3 | just put in "ServerName my.fqdn.com" somewhere in your config to make it stop. ;) | 22:45 |
| jacob_ | unit3: can you explain what servername my.fqdn.com does...and in which config should it be | 22:47 |
| unit3 | errr... it assigns a server name manually to apache, so that it'll stop complaining about not being able to figure out its name. isn't that what you asked about? | 22:47 |
| unit3 | and like I said, you can just stick it in the global configs, so maybe a file like "/etc/apache2/conf.d/local-options" or similar. | 22:48 |
| tonyyarusso | I'm having trouble connecting/authenticating to my Samba file server share. Log entry is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/359266/ | 22:49 |
| jacob_ | unit3: kk..just wanted to make sure i understood what it did....and i might have done something wrong my conf.d only gives me the files charset, localized-error-pages and security | 22:49 |
| === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond | ||
| tonyyarusso | (Note: It is a remote server, not on the local network.) | 22:50 |
| unit3 | jacob_: those are config chunks, apache will just include anything in there. I wasn't suggesting the local-config file exists, I was simply suggesting it'd be a convenient name to put some local options into. | 22:50 |
| unit3 | *.d directories on debian/ubuntu are often just directories where you can dump files with config snippets into, so they're easier to manage. | 22:51 |
| jacob_ | unit3: ahhh i understand now...sorry for the confusion | 22:51 |
| unit3 | no prob, everyone's gotta learn some time. ;) | 22:51 |
| unit3 | apache has pretty specific conventions for that which you should learn, also. | 22:52 |
| unit3 | such as the modules and sites available and enabled .d directories. | 22:52 |
| jacob_ | unit3: i've been reading up on them from the apache site, alot of it is still over my head, but i'm getting there | 22:53 |
| unit3 | They allow you to define apache module configs and virtual hosts, and then easily enable and disable them by symlinking them into the enable.d directories. | 22:53 |
| unit3 | yeah, it'll probably take a long time to wrap your head around if you're just starting, there's a lot there. :) | 22:53 |
| unit3 | apache's been around a long time, and does a lot of stuff. :) | 22:53 |
| tonyyarusso | The issue seems to be "NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" | 22:54 |
| jacob_ | lol yea...i have a solid understanding of html now..but wanted to get into php, so teaching myself | 22:54 |
| unit3 | tonyyarusso: looks like samba thinks the share you're trying to connect to isn't defined in the config. can you pastebot the chunk of your config dealing with that etnh share? | 22:55 |
| tonyyarusso | unit3: http://paste.ubuntu.com/359268/ | 22:57 |
| * tonyyarusso may have posted a different error before, is confused | 22:58 | |
| unit3 | tonyyarusso: oh, that's probably conflicting with the default [homes] share, which automatically maps [username] to /home/username with only access from that user. | 22:59 |
| unit3 | can you make a subdirectory and share that, instead? | 22:59 |
| tonyyarusso | unit3: but I thought [homes] was commented out by default? | 23:00 |
| tonyyarusso | unit3: Or is ; not really a comment in smb.conf? | 23:00 |
| tonyyarusso | (I don't actually want to share all homes; just this one) | 23:00 |
| unit3 | it is. if you've got it commented out, then yeah, that should work. | 23:00 |
| unit3 | how've you got the samba authentication setup? did you set your password with smbpasswd and stuff? | 23:00 |
| tonyyarusso | well, I get a different error now... | 23:01 |
| tonyyarusso | unit3: with libpam-smbpass | 23:01 |
| tonyyarusso | unit3: real error this time - http://paste.ubuntu.com/359273/ | 23:01 |
| unit3 | are you sure you want libpam-smbpass on there? because that authenticates system accounts against samba, not the reverse. | 23:02 |
| tonyyarusso | wait, really? | 23:02 |
| unit3 | yeah. | 23:02 |
| tonyyarusso | What I want to do is create system accounts, and make samba use them. | 23:02 |
| unit3 | yeah, you can do that, but samba needs to have its own database of passwords... because Microsoft's password formats for SMB are pretty insecure, so you can't use the secure unix ones. ;) | 23:03 |
| tonyyarusso | oh lordy | 23:03 |
| tonyyarusso | Well, how can I sync them easily? | 23:03 |
| tonyyarusso | (I thought I had what I want, since 'pdbedit -L' lists all of the system accounts.) | 23:03 |
| jacob_ | unit3: ty for you help....i might be messageing again if a few if i get stuck | 23:04 |
| unit3 | yeah, by default it'll pull in system account names, but they won't have any passwords. | 23:04 |
| unit3 | jacob_: sure, if I'm around. :) | 23:04 |
| tonyyarusso | oh...lol | 23:04 |
| unit3 | tonyyarusso: so you have to run "smbpasswd username" for each account, and set them. | 23:04 |
| tonyyarusso | And this is why I hate samba. Maintaining dual account registries :( | 23:05 |
| unit3 | totally. it's not really samba's fault though. you know who designed the protocol. ;P | 23:05 |
| unit3 | I believe you can actually setup libpam-smbpass or similar to *change* samba passwords with the regular ones , so the next time users run normal passwd it'll be in sync. | 23:05 |
| tonyyarusso | That'd be good. | 23:05 |
| unit3 | yeah, just did a little google, that's what libpam-smbpass is good for. | 23:06 |
| unit3 | problem is, it doesn't do anything until the user actually changes their password. | 23:06 |
| unit3 | so you were probably expecting it to already have the passwords migrated and set up, which isn't the case. | 23:07 |
| jacob_ | unit3: ok well i just remember my other question now.........documentroot to a folder in my home folder, but the php files i have in that folder still won't run......did i forget a step | 23:07 |
| unit3 | jacob_: have you installed libapache2-mod-php5? | 23:07 |
| jacob_ | unit3: that would probably be the step i forgot | 23:08 |
| unit3 | jacob_: heh, yeah, you'll need php installed. | 23:08 |
| unit3 | tonyyarusso: so... use smbpasswd to manually assign a samba password for a specific account, make sure the rest of your samba config works, and then get your users to change their passwords so libpam-smbpass can do its magic. | 23:08 |
| unit3 | this is why samba 4 will be good, if it ever comes out. | 23:09 |
| unit3 | full ADS replacement, you can just use it as the auth source for linux as well as windows, have all the passwords in one place. | 23:09 |
| unit3 | too bad it's in perpetual alpha. | 23:09 |
| jacob_ | unit3: is that available in synaptic's? | 23:09 |
| jacob_ | unit3: and if so would it be the php5? | 23:10 |
| unit3 | jacob_: yeah, should be, look for that package name. | 23:10 |
| unit3 | erm... not sure what you mean by "the php5" | 23:10 |
| jacob__ | does anyone know the name of the php package needed to run php script in apache?...the only one i can find is php5 and it doesn't appear to be working | 23:32 |
| unit3 | jacob__: I already told you the package name. libapache2-mod-php5. | 23:33 |
| jacob__ | unit3: nice your still here.....and for some reason it found it that time.....very odd...and i already had it installed | 23:34 |
| unit3 | ok, and is it enabled in apache? | 23:35 |
| jacob__ | not sure how i do that | 23:35 |
| unit3 | a2enmod command is used to enable apache mods. | 23:35 |
| unit3 | and a2dismod to disable. | 23:35 |
| jacob__ | says its already enabled....i'm assuming i use that for the php5 module..since that was the only thing listed that envolved php | 23:38 |
| unit3 | yeah. | 23:39 |
| unit3 | well then, it should work. | 23:40 |
| jacob__ | let me restart apache and will try again | 23:40 |
| unit3 | is it just showing you the code when you go to a php page with your browser? | 23:40 |
| jacob__ | unit3: nope still doesn't show me text.... all i'm trying to load is a blank page that has one line of php on it | 23:42 |
| unit3 | so what does it show you instead? | 23:42 |
| jacob__ | just a blank page | 23:42 |
| unit3 | can you view source, and see for sure that it's blank? | 23:43 |
| unit3 | and can you also pastebot the full php code you're trying out? | 23:43 |
| jacob__ | <?php echo "Hello ";?> lol this is all i'm trying to get it to show me | 23:43 |
| jacob__ | unit3: it's literally just a blank page..with one line of php code | 23:45 |
| unit3 | yeah. it should be working. do the apache logs say anything is wrong with that? specifically, the error log? | 23:46 |
| jacob__ | unit3: sorry how do i check the logs? | 23:46 |
| unit3 | errr, you just ... look at them? they're in /var/log/apache2? | 23:47 |
| unit3 | i think, perhaps, you need to spend a little more time with google. ;) | 23:47 |
| jacob__ | unit3: :) i found it.... | 23:49 |
| jacob__ | these are only two log messages [Tue Jan 19 18:41:03 2010] [error] mod_log_sql: insufficient configuration info to establish database link | 23:50 |
| jacob__ | [Tue Jan 19 18:41:03 2010] [error] mod_log_sql: child spawned but unable to open database link | 23:50 |
| unit3 | errr... mod_log_sql? why would you have that in there? | 23:50 |
| jacob__ | oh wait | 23:50 |
| unit3 | I mean, that's nothing to do with php, but that's not part of the default install. | 23:50 |
| unit3 | you haven't just been randomly installing mods, have you? ;) | 23:50 |
| jacob__ | lol old logs... | 23:50 |
| unit3 | "old"? it says Jan 19th, 2010. | 23:51 |
| jacob__ | old as in when i was getting erros b/c it couldn't find a server name (i'm guessing by the time its showing | 23:51 |
| wish^ | am i gone have a stable system with ubuntu on a 800 mhz p3 with 768 mb sdram running as a server? | 23:51 |
| unit3 | wish^: as long as your hardware's stable, sure. if it's that old, that's not guaranteed. | 23:52 |
| wish^ | ofcourse not | 23:52 |
| unit3 | i'd do a loooooong memtest run on before comitting it to anything. :) | 23:52 |
| jacob__ | unit3: and no, no error's when running the php | 23:52 |
| wish^ | but the question is, is ubuntu gone give me the stability in software i need? | 23:52 |
| unit3 | wish^: as compared to what? modern linux distros are quite stable, so I'm not sure what you're asking. | 23:53 |
| wish^ | compared to say, debian or fedora | 23:53 |
| wish^ | im running with old scsi disks | 23:53 |
| unit3 | wish^: stability will be very similar, although for a server you'd be better running centos than fedora. | 23:53 |
| unit3 | and the disks don't really enter in, since they all use the same kernels with the same drivers. | 23:53 |
| unit3 | choosing a distro is really about choosing an environment you're comfortable in. | 23:54 |
| unit3 | these days, there isn't much variance with the software offered, or what you can do with it. | 23:54 |
| wish^ | well, ive used ubuntu on one of my desktops | 23:54 |
| unit3 | there's just slightly different ways of doing it with each distro. | 23:54 |
| wish^ | and i am familiar with freeBSD | 23:54 |
| wish^ | and mandrake 7 | 23:54 |
| unit3 | ok, so, do you like Ubuntu the best for doing commandline management? if so, then put that on your server. if not, use whichever you like best. | 23:55 |
| wish^ | well id say freeBSD cause its the only thing ive ran on a server before | 23:55 |
| wish^ | but i havent been keeping up with it really | 23:56 |
| jacob__ | clearly i scewed up somewhere...gonna wipe it and start over...ty for your help unit3 | 23:56 |
| unit3 | jacob__: no prob. | 23:56 |
| unit3 | good luck. | 23:56 |
| unit3 | wish^: freebsd I find has a lot less package management, which IMO isn't the best thing for process and manageability, but it also has some very nice server features that Linux distros lack, such as (now stable!) ZFS support. | 23:57 |
| unit3 | if you don't care about niche features, then I'd recommend Ubuntu, as long as you're familiar with the package system. | 23:57 |
| unit3 | mmmm and pf. pf is nice. wish Linux had pf. | 23:57 |
| wish^ | ubuntu doesnt use rpm right? | 23:57 |
| unit3 | nope, it uses the debian package format, so it generally follows the debian way of doing things. | 23:58 |
| unit3 | and gets access to most of the packages available in debian, which is nice, because debian's list of packages is huuuuuge. ;) | 23:58 |
| unit3 | but it means that specific apps may not have packages. 389 directory server is one off the top of my head that'd be handy, but there's no uptodate packages for. | 23:59 |
| unit3 | again, niche stuff. | 23:59 |
