[01:12] how to turn monitor ON over SSH without X, keyboard, mouse ? === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [02:17] smoser: is normal that python-boto is no longer required on ec2-init 0.5.1? [02:37] smoser: ec2-init sponsored to lucid [03:49] Can some one help figure out how to see my samba shares in karmic. I get "unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server" [06:44] Hi guys. I have a pair of storage servers mirrored with drbd and a pair of vm (kvm/libvirt) servers using iScsi exports. Has anybody gone through the process of integrating krb/ldap with a setup like this? [06:45] Should the krb/ldap services run on the storage servers and store just the domain information for the storage and vm pair? === th0mz_ is now known as th0mz [09:12] It it possible to run instances on the UEC cloud controller? [11:29] Hi, i have a new ubuntu server 9.10 install on which i'd like to set up multiple IP's on different vlans. however only the IP address with which i specify a gateway is accessible to anything beyond the subnet. If i specify a gateway for each vlan, only the last gateway in the interfaces file works [11:29] i've tried looking at traffic with tcpdump, and when pinging one of the non-working address es from outside the subnet, the incoming pings can be seen but the reply can not be seen [11:50] found it [11:50] looks like rp_filter is on by default now [11:51] what is rp_filter? [11:56] reverse path filter [11:56] its some form of ip spoofing detection [11:56] k [11:56] just trying to find a working way to apply it on boot [11:57] vi /etc/sysctl.conf [11:58] yeah, i know, just wasn't sure what to put in there [11:58] figured it out now, it's [11:58] net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=0 [11:58] net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=0 [11:58] yep [11:58] :) [11:58] sysctl -p to parse it [11:58] add vm.swappiness = 100 while you're at it === richards_ is now known as richards [12:01] what does that do? [12:06] richards: it tells Linux to start swapping out early instead of keeping too much in RAM all the time [12:06] meaning if a process has allocated a bunch of memory "just in case", it gets written to disk if not in use, and the memory is used for something useful [12:17] richards: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [12:18] You want the machine to route all interfaces, right? [12:31] Jeeves_: not after the machine to be a router, no [12:31] just need it to be able to talk on multiple IPs [12:31] which is wasn't doing with rp_filter on [12:31] but its working quite nicely now [12:35] im a nub, got a vps and locked myself out(ssh is dead). But i can still access (through virtuozzo) the filesystem and read/write from/to it and restart the server. Is there a way i can get ssh running with this limited acess? [12:35] im a nub, got a vps and locked myself out(ssh is dead). But i can still access (through virtuozzo) the filesystem and read/write from/to it and restart the server. Is there a way i can get ssh running with this limited acess? [12:35] Hi, i got a vps and locked myself out(ssh connection refused). But i can still access the filesystem (through virtuozzo) and read/write from/to it and restart the server. Is there a way i can get ssh running with this limited access? [12:35] ops sry [12:40] frostedflake: probs the easiest thing to do is going to be to get n contact with your host [12:40] unless you've done something to /etc/ssh/sshd_config to break it [12:41] should i see sshd in the proces list, or is it started when a connection is requested? [12:42] you should see it in the process list yes [12:42] ok then it is not running anymore. [12:42] you may also have done something to rc.d or init.d to cause it to not start [12:43] i thought i could maybe place a line in a file which is executed on reboot and start sshd that way === wortbit_ is now known as wortbit [12:53] can you start sshd with /etc/init.d/sshd start [12:59] if i had shell access, i could. I looked at rc0/1/2.d and ssh is there, but it seems to not get started. [13:00] richards: You can only have one single default gateway [13:00] If you want to reach ip's outside a subnet's ip, you have to set specific routers [13:00] s/routers/routes [13:03] Kernel IP routing table [13:03] Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface [13:03] 202.60.90.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.192 U 0 0 0 vlan8 [13:03] 110.44.26.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.192 U 0 0 0 vlan26 [13:03] 192.168.4.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 bond0 [13:03] 192.168.3.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 bond0 [13:03] 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vlan6 [13:03] 192.168.254.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vlan3 [13:03] 0.0.0.0 192.168.254.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 vlan3 [13:03] 0.0.0.0 110.44.26.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 vlan26 [13:03] So now you have two default gateways [13:03] only one will be active tho [13:04] And the kernel will somewhat loadbalance between those two [13:04] well looks like i have to head out [13:05] thanks guys [13:35] load balancing between two gateways doesn't really sound like a very good idea === wortbit_ is now known as wortbit === Nafallo_ is now known as Nafallo [15:48] kinda OT but is anyone using a commercial web load-balancing system they like? we've hit the limits of what 3 year old big-ips can do (500mbit limits, we're pushing about 4-500 outside and 200 inside at peak) === JimiDini_mobile is now known as JimiDini === JimiDini_mobile is now known as JimiDini === _a is now known as Guest49341 [17:32] Hi, can anybody help me set up pureftpd. i get: Fatal: unable to load module 'mod_lang.c': Operation not permitted [17:36] in apache? [17:37] when i try to start pureftpd [17:37] /etc/init.d/proftpd restart [17:38] Xqtftqx_: that was proftpd [17:38] not pureftpd [17:38] oh yeah >_> [17:38] sorry its proftpd [17:39] Xqtftqx_: are you restarting as user? [17:39] no [17:39] root [17:39] http://pastebin.com/m37bd4a32 [17:40] error in configuration [17:40] (i haven't used proftpd for years) [17:41] How do i fix it? [17:41] check configuration [17:41] and find the error [17:41] http://discuss.joyent.com/viewtopic.php?id=24427 [17:41] seems to be an old issue [17:41] or might be [17:42] http://www.maedness.de/doku.php?id=linux:problems [17:42] that one lists the solution [17:42] conclusion: dependency problems in apt [17:42] * RoyK hands ivoks a win98 cd [17:43] Xqtftqx_: if it works, keep in mind that since I found that after 1-2 minutes of googling, it might be a good idea to start there instead of asking on irc ;) [17:45] i honestly have been googling all night [17:45] came across that same page i believe [17:46] does it help to install locales? [17:47] how do i _install_ a locale? [17:47] from that page [17:48] Solution: If locales is already installed run as root: "dpkg-reconfigure locales" Otherwise you firstly have to run: "aptitude install locales" [17:48] locales is already installed [17:48] and dpkg-reconfigure doesn't help? [17:49] hold on ill pastebin [17:49] http://pastebin.com/m4772744e [17:50] hello everybody [17:50] Xqtftqx_: env | grep LANG [17:50] does somebody knows how /etc/motd is generated and how to cusomise it [17:50] Xqtftqx_: env | egrep 'LANG|LC_' [17:50] LANG=en_US.UTF-8 [17:50] second command is the same thing [17:51] tuxcrafter: /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh [17:51] Xqtftqx_: for a test - try to unset LANG [17:52] and now dpkg-reconfigure works [17:52] update-motd tools [17:52] and everything is working, idk how i missed that [17:52] Xqtftqx_: and proftpd? [17:52] thank you RoyK [17:52] Xqtftqx_: it won't last [17:52] LANG is set somewhere else [17:52] RoyK: got no /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh on my system [17:52] unsetting it is only for your current shell [17:53] tuxcrafter: sudo grep -rw motd /etc [17:53] can i set it at boot [17:53] and look through that :) [17:53] or how to i found out where its set [17:53] don't remember how to set that [17:53] sorry [17:53] /etc/update-motd.d [17:54] alright, thanks for your help though === andresmujica1 is now known as andresmujica === JimiDini_mobile is now known as JimiDini [18:59] alright, so i moved to vsftpd [19:00] but whenever i try to login i get: 530 Login incorrect. [19:02] configure it [19:02] by default it doesn't allow login for local users [19:02] byw [19:02] bye === andresmujica1 is now known as andresmujica === wortbit_ is now known as wortbit [19:12] Ive done that [19:13] Xqtftqx_: first, allow local user [19:14] second, set a valid shell on that user [19:14] its good now, i can login [19:14] vsftpd won't allow a user to login if the shell is wrong [19:14] and i can view and download files, but i cant modify anything [19:14] # Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command. [19:14] write_enable=YES [19:14] tried that? [19:15] dir, i had to uncomment that [19:15] i was up till 2am working on this, but now its workin all nicely :D Thanks for all your help [19:17] Xqtftqx_: next time, try to use something over ssh instead [19:17] ftp is insecure by design [19:18] alright [19:18] ftp over ssh works well, though [19:18] ill set that up later, im just getting bugged out getting stuff uploaded [19:18] also, (something) over ssh is far easier to setup [19:18] more or less zero config [19:19] if sshd is installed, ftp or rsync or something will work well over ssh [19:25] RoyK, i have one more problem. i enabled write but i still cant write [19:25] the user is ftp and its dir is /var/www [19:25] i chowned /var/www but still nothing [19:27] still nothing what? [19:27] i cant do anything [19:27] i can download and what not [19:27] but if i try to make a directory i get a 550 error [19:27] (Perm Denied) [19:28] restarted vsftpd? [19:28] yes [19:29] checked the logs? [19:29] hi [19:29] yeah [19:29] permission error [19:29] does someone has any experience with mod_fcgid [19:29] configured an apache server with it, but it gives back plain php files [19:29] could someone poke me in a direction? :) === wortbit_ is now known as wortbit === mcas_ is now known as mcas [20:24] If you have 3 nics installed in your ubuntu-server machine (all of which are setup with manual ip address configs on 2 different networks) how does ubuntu figure out the default path to access the internet? [20:25] or what defines that path [20:26] usrv: you should have one 'gateway' line in /etc/network/interfaces, under the nic to the internet [20:27] usrv: for once you set it with route add default .... [20:27] cemc: ahhh. so if i have a gateway line for all 3 it will just go with the last one in the list? [20:28] usrv: good question... take a look at 'ip r' output [20:29] the one I don't want it going through is the last one in the list [20:29] i'll make some edits and restart networking [20:33] cemc: I removed the gateway line and restarted networking... turns out I needed to remove the network line as well because ip still had the network I didn't want listed last [20:33] all is well now [20:33] thanks for your help [20:35] there should only be one default gateway [20:35] in a multipath scenario, you'll need a routing protocol in the network [20:35] such as ospf or rip [20:38] thanks royk [20:39] and that's not an ubuntu or linux thing ;) [20:52] killall -9 netlogond lwregd [20:52] Heheh...Ooops. [20:52] ;) [21:03] hi, does anyone know of a reason not to merge corosync 1.2.0-1 from Debian testing for Lucid? [21:05] i was waiting for the ubuntu-ha folks to do it [21:05] ok, any ETA? I'm happy to not worry about it. [21:43] hi [21:43] ho [21:44] omg, you're on #asteirsk [21:44] * RoyK hides [21:44] RoyK:yeah [21:44] RoyK: asterisk geek..? [21:44] once upon a time [21:45] and I'll probably work with it again [21:45] RoyK:how come now..? [21:45] not with asterisk [21:45] that is, if someone decides to pay me $1M a year or something, I will [21:45] maybe [21:46] RoyK: what your work now..? [21:47] operations [21:47] unix stuff [21:47] linux and solaris and sometimes even windoze [21:48] RoyK:you an administrator..? i have not yet tested solaris, im planning to try it-i have already a colletions of book [21:48] we're using solaris for some stuff [21:48] it's great for storage [21:49] solaris have server and desktop.. [21:49] ? [21:49] this new $11k box with 30TiB storage is a good idea of why one want to use opensolaris [21:49] solaris/opensolaris is like any other OS, it can be used for client and server [21:50] we have some solaris workstations too [21:50] some people stick with that [21:50] ow ok..and all other services too,like mail server, and other stuff. [21:50] currently we're using solaris for mail, but we're moving to a new system. dunno what yet, though [21:51] * RoyK prays to random gods it's not going to be Exchange [21:51] whats basically the difference between linux and solaris, is it not hard to go for solaris while your doing linux. [21:51] it's another OS, but a lot of stuff is similar [21:51] why you dont want exchanges. [21:51] I don't [21:51] I've been running exchange for some time [21:51] are you on a datacenter..? [21:51] I know what it can do and how it can fail [21:51] working [21:51] no [21:52] just a company, research institute [21:52] just a corporation [21:52] ow ok [21:52] very nice [21:52] me hope i can have co-employee like you..or even friend who ahve the knwoledge stuff like you. [21:53] expert level, im a biggener [21:53] but i love this work.. [21:54] RoyK: do you have IM account [21:54] can i add up you [21:55] I use irc :) [21:56] how about skype..? you do accept apprenticeship..:-D on your free time. [21:56] nah - just irc [21:57] ok [21:57] so are you using asstrix? [21:58] http://karlsbakk.net/fun/asterisk_architecture.jpg [21:58] http://karlsbakk.net/fun/asterisk-installation.wav [21:58] i have dreamned to setup my own email server, how i wish- but im on my own here- hope i could find a mentor to guide [21:58] yes on our operation, we do asterisk [21:58] k [21:58] im working on a call center [21:58] about asterisk - see those two links ;) [22:01] RoyK:this is nice [22:12] ruben23: as for opensolaris, I suggest downloading the install iso, some virtualisation software and testing it a little - the learning curve might be a little steep, but it's ok [22:13] RoyK:yes i will test it..and update you someday..
