[00:01] New bug: #504530 in python-boto "euca-register fails to register an image: register_image() takes at least 2 non-keyword arguments (1 given)" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/504530 [00:09] mconigliaro: Hostnames on an Ubuntu EC2 instances can be changed the same was as a hostname on any normal Ubuntu server and it's fine to do so. [00:10] er, "same way" [00:10] erichammond: using the hostname command? [00:10] ive tried that [00:10] even though i get what i want in the bash prompt, hostname -f always returns the amazon hostname [00:11] /etc/hostname seems to be totally ignored [00:12] mconigliaro: Yep, there are a few things you need to update depending on what software you have installed. "hostname" command; /etc/hostname; /etc/hosts; /etc/mailname; /etc/postfix/main.cf; ... [00:13] You might need to restart various services as well [00:13] The point is, however, that it's no different from a normal Ubuntu server. [00:15] i must really be doing something stupid [00:15] in the past, i just updated /etc/hostname, rebooted, and that was that [00:18] mconigliaro, well that would work [00:18] but ec2init is fighting you [00:18] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ec2-init/+bug/514492 [00:18] Launchpad bug 514492 in ec2-init "hostname modifications user are overwritten by ec2init" [Low,Triaged] [00:19] good news is, it wont in lucid [00:19] bad news is, no easy way to stop it now [00:19] hmm [00:19] well at least i know im not a total idiot [00:20] mathiaz, thanks for reviewing [00:21] i will address the points you raise on wed if not before. [00:21] (some of them have already been ... the 1.9 stuff ) [00:23] I want to push windows printer drivers where is the default samba share location to put them [00:24] /usr/share/cups/drv/ ? [00:35] smoser: wow, I had assumed that bug was important enough to fix and stopped paying attention to it. Can we get it corrected in the next Hardy and Karmic? Changing the hostname of a server can break the functionality of that server. [00:35] I'm having trouble building the postfix-2.5.1 sources after applying the VDA quota patch. The issue is actually at the dpkg-buildpackage stage, I get "dpkg-buildpackage: failure: tail of debian/changelog gave error exit status 1". Any suggestions as to a solution? I've been trying to resolve this for hours.. [00:47] erichammond, smoser: yes, that bug is what's messing me up. if i change the hostname in rc.local, it works fine [00:47] although services already started are using the ec2 hostname [00:49] my workaround is to create a service called ec2-init-hostname that runs immediately after ec2-init and sets the hostname according to what's in /etc/hostname [01:27] New bug: #521235 in krb5 (main) "package libgssapi-krb5-2 1.7dfsg~beta3-1ubuntu0.1 failed to install/upgrade: the sub-processus dpkg-deb --control returned a state 2 output error" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/521235 [02:27] Not new to Ubuntu server (LAMP - Personal Web-server via FreeDNS -) .. But I'm looking for some understanding on e-mail server setup. I really would like to use my domain names (I've got a few) as my e-mail addresses respectively. The issue is my ISP I assume .. is there a way around this? (Need both a tutorial on how e-mail servers work and how to circumvent your ISP's port 25 etc) ... [02:28] This one is "way" more than I'm looking for .. http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/ [03:15] hi someone has installed heimdal ? [03:34] hi, somebody know how i can know wich packages i got installed i want take off anything relative to kerberos and heimdal [03:52] Can anyone assist me in assigning a users traffic to go through a certain IP address through iptables? [05:47] hi iam trying to change users password and i got this error: passwd: Authentication information cannot be recovered [05:47] somebody know about this problem? [05:48] Are you using some remote auth method like a radius server? [05:48] no, i just instaled ldap and take off kerberos [05:48] but my user is unix user [06:16] how i restart pam? [06:49] i have a quick question [06:49] im taking a class on php and i have a spare server a buddy gave me and i cant decide if i want to run server 2003 or some type of linux to learn php with [06:49] lamp/wamp [06:50] any suggestions [06:57] PHP works best in a unixy environment [06:57] why is that? [06:57] that's what it was designed on [06:58] apache on windows is very difficult to secure [06:58] since it tends to run as administrator [06:58] in ubuntu, LAMP is secure by default [06:59] also, few situations in the 'real world' will use PHP on windows [06:59] because windows is expensive, you only use it when you need it [07:00] that makes sense [07:00] how hard is lamp to setup and use on ubuntu? [07:00] see the thing is my buddy gave me this old proliant dl320 g2 server [07:00] as hard as checking a box during setup [07:00] lol [07:01] or, post-install, 'sudo tasksel install lamp' [07:02] just another quick question [07:03] in linux how hard is it to setup vpn or an ftp server [07:03] im not a linux pro but i can get by [07:03] VPN, takes a little bit of work, but not too difficult [07:03] you have to set up a PKI with the built in scripts, generate a CA cert and client certs [07:03] and set up the base config [07:03] FTP should be avoided if at all possible, in favor of SFTP [07:04] FTP is insecure by design and just generally a pain to work with [07:04] while SFTP is built into the openssh server, and is easy to configure securely in recent versions [07:05] mufasis, I just set up an sftp server in a hour or two [07:05] pretty easily, and even included the chroot feature [07:05] and im a pretty newbie to it [07:06] the server is at my family house on a pretty fast home lan and im a student so i would only be able to work on it through putty or something similar....im taking some programming classes so i need to have lamp/wamp but i also need a way to upload and download files remotely ie ftp/vpn [07:07] besides initial setup which i would do right there with the server [07:07] sftp is the way to go, you can use the command line apps with putty or get something fancier like winscp or filezilla [07:08] if you don't need jails or accounts for other people, sftp is automatically set up by installing openssh [07:08] another check box during setup [07:12] the only thing that isn't already dealt with on a default install is bots attempting to brute force your SSH server [07:12] if you have a reasonably quick machine and secured user accounts, it won't matter [07:12] if you care about it, you can set up some iptables rules to slow them down [07:20] thank you for your help qman [07:20] no problem [07:47] does 9.10 ubuntu server come with a gui [07:49] mufasis: No. [07:50] mufasis: in general, servers run without a GUI/X - a waste of space. Use the comand-line.If you want though, you can stick a desktop on it .. [07:51] oh im just wondering cause like i said before im taking a php programming class and i cant decide between server 2003 and linux. can you type all the code in the command line and see a working version of the page? [07:52] See it in a browser on your client PC, of course. See it (in full graphical glory) on a text mode screen, no. [07:52] i think it wouldbe difficult to program a webpage in php through a cli no? [07:53] No, it's trivial. echo -ne '\n" >somefile.php [07:53] Bingo. [07:53] I didn't even need a text editor :) [07:54] Well, I mismatched my quotes... but apart from that :) [07:54] well im sure with your experience not a lot of things with linux seem hard but im semi new =/ [07:55] Is the server your only machine? WOuldn't you be writing code from the comfort of a GUI desktop or laptop anyway? [07:55] Why does the *server* need a GUI? [07:56] PHP is a programming language. It is stored as text. You can therefore create it in a text editor, which can be done in a GUI or using a text mode screen. [07:56] mufasis: normally, you develop on a different system (with a GUI) then cp/scp/rsync your site/files to the server. [07:57] mufasis: but if you don't have another system, or want to test/play on the server itself and you are uncomfortable with command-line only - add a GUI! No problem. [07:57] yeah makes sense, ill be back in a few i have to attend to something [07:58] no i understand [07:58] but a friend of mine gave me an old proliant dl320 g2 server [07:58] So use that as a server, but create web pages on your existing workstation (which already has a GUI). [07:59] then scp or so [07:59] yes i was just trying to figure out if i should use linux or server 2003, considering im better on windows then i am on linux but i can get by [07:59] ill brb [08:12] using a GUI won't give you any advantages, the code is still written in text and the software is still configured with the same files [08:13] there is no effective difference between running a GUI with a terminal and web browser open on the server, and running putty and your web browser on your client [08:25] awwwwww [08:25] back sry guys [08:26] the SCSI data cable in my server is being stupid, DAMN IT [08:26] the server i have is behind a router on 15mbps cable line [08:26] when running the lamp [08:26] I can't get the spare one I have at work until tomorrow... [08:27] will the webpage be visible to everyone to see? [08:27] i dont want that, i just want a running lamp server for development [08:27] mufasis, it will only be visible if you forward port 80 [08:27] also, in order to get ssh access from the internet, you would need to forward port 22 [08:28] mufasis: yeah, on a connection that fast your server should be visible to the Internet, of course after forwarding your ports like qman__ said [08:28] you will also need to forward port 443 for HTTPS [08:29] for running a website dont i need to register something with someone to have it online? [08:29] no [08:29] if you forward the ports, it will be available at your IP address [08:29] you can find that out by browsing to a site like whatismyip.com [08:30] if you want a domain name, you will have to register one [08:30] you can also opt for free dynamic DNS through services like dyndns.com and afraid.org [08:31] but that's all optional, the site would be available at your IP regardless [08:31] ok so if i want to test my code i would just navigate to my ip address with the correct ports forwarded through my router correct? [08:31] yes [08:31] if i wanted an actual website name i would have to register it through a dynamic dns service? [08:32] yes, either register a paid domain, or get a free dynamic DNS subdomain [08:32] now if i want to work on my server remotely i can use putty with port forwarding correct? [08:32] with putty though i cant upload and download from the server.... [08:32] how would i do that [08:33] you can if you forward port 22 [08:33] the putty suite includes pscp and psftp, which allow you to transfer files [08:33] but you can get a graphical SFTP client like winscp or filezilla, too [08:36] what kind of maintenence or setup do i need to do when installing ubuntu server if i decide to go this route, i know eventually i will be working with linux but my semester is coming up quick and i need someone i can setup problem free very quickly [08:36] qman__: there is http://xname.org/ a free domain name registrar but you have to be running your own BIND server to use it [08:36] mufasis, the install is as simple as following a menu guide, and maintenance is zero if you enable automatic updates [08:37] no ive installed ubuntu before but i dont know which packages i need and what does what [08:38] my current record from disc in hand to production web server is ten minutes flat [08:38] also this server needs these drivers from hp because the fans are so fuckin loud without them, can i send you a link to see if these owuld work? [08:38] you simply need to check LAMP and openSSH when prompted [08:39] go ahead and paste the link [08:40] I wouldn't be surprised if the drivers are included, given the how old the hardware is [08:42] http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=3929672&prodNameId=3929673&swEnvOID=4085&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=MTX-ee4cf438fc6a4fbb875baad8ed [08:42] sombodey know what is nscd ? [08:42] no ive installed ubuntu before and i needed these certain drivers [08:42] i have them on my pc but i think these are updated [08:43] if you've tested them before, then sure [08:43] it might be these [08:43] http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T2811AA [08:43] just copy the file over to the server, and 'sudo dpkg -i filename.dpkg' [08:43] it says these are for sarge 3.1 will they still work for 9.10? [08:44] maybe, maybe not [08:44] the first link says for ubuntu 9.10, so I'm going to guess it's newer [08:44] january 2010 [08:45] I'd go with that one [08:46] packages for debian aren't necessarily incompatible with ubuntu, but they may rely on packages or package versions that ubuntu doesn't have [08:46] so it's something that you have to test and play with [08:47] especially when you're dealing with drivers [08:50] on the second link i sent those are the ones i have used before and i know theyre dependencies so i know it works [08:50] just one more question with ubuntu server edition [08:51] what is the best way to partition the drive [08:51] i have 80gb to work with [08:52] in your case, one big partition should be fine [08:52] the 'guided (use entire disk)' option [08:53] other partitioning schemes are more important when you have more disks or want to keep your personal data separated [08:53] but for a simple development web server, it's not necessary [08:55] hi i am trying to set the smbpasswd for root and i got this error:Failed to find entry for user root. [08:55] anybody know what could be the error? [08:58] Roxyhart0, that's _really_ not a good idea, but to answer your question, you must use smbpasswd -a to create a new one [08:59] yes [08:59] doesnt the guided partition option make several partitions though? one for swap / /home etc? [09:00] mufasis, no, just a / and swap [09:01] my questio is when i try to acces with ssh to my server it is taking long time and i got a a error : ssh root@rx.au [09:01] root@rx.au's password: [09:01] Failed to add entry for user root. [09:01] Roxyhart0, that's because root is disabled by default for security reasons [09:01] use a normal user, then use sudo to perform actions as root [09:02] but i did before [09:03] i dont know why t changed [09:03] i dont like use sudo [09:03] i need to repeat the password many times [09:04] if you need to do a lot of things as root, use sudo -i [09:05] i did, i access with my username and still the same error: Failed to add entry for user rosa. [09:07] does smbpasswd also fail without -a? [09:07] (for rosa) [09:09] -a is only needed when a user does not already have an smbpasswd set [09:09] thank you qman ur awesome [09:10] i have another question how does remote file transfer and access work when im not on the same lan as the server using putty? [09:10] mufasis, just forward port 22 on your router to the server, then connect putty to your external IP [09:15] oh, also, thanks for the link to those drivers, I have an old proliant I haven't been using because it's so loud [09:15] sorry qman_ yes also fail when i try to inslude in samba [09:16] Roxyhart0, there must be something wrong in the samba configuration then, probably in the authentication backend setting [09:16] I don't know enough about it to troubleshoot more than that [09:17] thanks np [09:19] lol np [09:20] how do i transfer files tho [09:22] ? [10:00] Does anyone know why apache would ignore directives on ubuntu server? [10:00] hi iam trying to add password and user and when i do smbpasswd -a userX i got this error:pam_smbpass(passwd:chauthtok): Failed to find entry for user [10:00] somebody has any idea about this problem? [10:00] I am having an issue where apache2 is either ignoring my directive or directives in .htaccess files. [11:58] i im tryin to join a server to the domain and i got this error. NT user token: (NULL) [11:58] [2010/02/13 22:55:15, 5] auth/token_util.c:548(debug_unix_user_token) [11:58] UNIX token of user 0 [11:58] Primary group is 0 and contains 0 supplementary groups [11:58] somebody have any idea? [12:21] h, somebody know why when i try to join to the domain with i got this in the log event:Primary group is 0 and contains 0 supplementary groups [12:35] hi please, somebody know what mean this error:Failed search for base: sambaDomainName=RX,sambaDomainName=RX,dc=rx,dc=au error: 32 (No such object) (unknown) [12:56] Hi i got this bug but i dont know how solve it. somebody know about that? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/363554 [12:56] Launchpad bug 363554 in ubuntu "Failed to add entry for user XXX" [Undecided,New] [12:57] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/363554 [12:57] Launchpad bug 363554 in ubuntu "Failed to add entry for user XXX" [Undecided,New] [14:12] hi I've installed fail2ban since having suspected of being target of dictionary attacks - the conf file of fail2ban shows it only use sendmail as mta - I would like to use exim - has anyone configured this?

[19:32] JohnA: 1) use ssh, 2) should be a bios setting (if you are talking about power failure) [19:36] no looks like a kernel crash, ups log show no distrubance. the system just stops working with a v long series of what llok like diag messages on terminal [19:37] JohnA: then I'd next assume a harware issue (heat, memory,...) [19:42] it doesn't look like that, iy certainly is not heat, system runs open frame, HW diags don't show anything so I am assuming SW. sys is lightly loaded - postfix, dovecot and ancillary SW [19:45] I wonder if I am missing some critical update, that why I asked about updates - how to for server 9.10 i tried apt-get but kept getting a error -1 says some packages not configured but these pkgs are not installed [19:45] JohnA: check the memory [19:45] ran memeory diags - nothing [19:46] JohnA: did you run them through? the tests 1-5 are only for the worst cases [19:47] hi guys, can somebody help me, how can I change how ubuntu sees the /dev/sdX drives [19:47] I got a usb drive that boots as /dev/sda, and I want it /dev/sdc for example [19:48] stas: you cannot - as far as I know [19:49] guntbert: the drive has netboot kernel, i can remove the drive after its loaded, again no?

[20:55] nope [20:55] kvm is win [20:55] :P [20:55] kvm for a server? [20:55] !kvm [20:55] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [20:57] lifeless: how hard is it to learn to setup a vm in say an hour or two? [20:57] depends [20:58] can be a few minutes if what you want is already doc'd [20:58] lifeless: probably is - um.. where are vm images normally stored? [20:58] I'm partitioning the drive right now [21:01] whereever you like ? :) [21:01] read the KVM docs, they are pretty good [21:01] alrighty - I'll just make /virt then :) [21:02] if this machine is also a DHCP & DNS server, I would not try putting UEC on it unless you're up for debugging the last bits of the single physical machine topology [21:02] kvm itself should be trivial (again -see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM - really) [21:03] yup - I'm there [21:03] I like the kvm virt-viewer ssh+ [21:04] qemu+ssh* [21:06] I mentioned using vmware for it but then I remembered how ugly vmware is on a system. We have a system with 8GB RAM and I'm pretty excited abotu it [21:07] hey guys, trying to get BackupPC installed on ubuntu server 9.10 [21:07] getting told that 2010-02-13 20:43:15 $Conf{NmbLookupPath} = '/usr/bin/nmblookup' is not a valid executable program [21:07] but i have samba installed [21:10] do you have /usr/bin/nmblookup [21:12] When you install a server you can choose cloud cluster or cloud node; how does a cluster work? can you have mysql sitting across multiple servers with that? [21:13] cloud cluster is UEC; cloud node is a UEC node controller (which runs kvm instances for you) [21:13] do you have existing network infrastructure [21:14] like DHCP and DNS [21:14] no [21:14] we're not big enough to support that yet [21:14] so the node is used to admin the cluster? [21:15] no [21:15] 'cloud node' is a member in the cluster [21:15] I'm just trying to understand how it works - I want to setup some VM's in virtualbox and figure out what this stuff really is [21:15] 'cloud cluster' is the controller [21:15] oh [21:15] if you are not planning on using UEC, then don't choose either of those things [21:15] you can use kvm without UEC [21:16] lifeless: when i look it up, it tells me its not there [21:16] so its not installed [21:16] but i cant seem to work out how to add it [21:16] you haven't installed the package it is in [21:17] i think its part of samba [21:17] which is defo installed [21:17] lifeless: I have a sinlge desktop I bought today that will function as our best server. When we get to the point of moving into a datacenter I want to know what's going on === chrisboom_ is now known as chrisboom [21:17] MTecknology: UEC is very nice, but a little temperamental on a single machine - I set one up last week on my home games machine. Doing it with that machine also hosting DHCP and DNS might be difficult [21:18] lifeless: I'm only goingt o use kvm on this - I'm just trying to understand cloud computing [21:19] oh [21:19] can you have mysql installed on the systems and pretty much have it replicated everywhere? [21:19] so UEC supplies an EC2-like system [21:19] which means [21:19] or do you just have virtual machines that can be spread across multiple systems? [21:19] I never understood EC-2 either :P [21:19] you have virtual machine templates [21:19] called 'machine images' [21:20] they get started on machines when you issue an API call [21:20] and stopped likewise [21:20] some basic firewall rules can be deployed at the same time [21:20] and there is an API for managing stored content (in S3 - called walrus in UEC) [21:21] thats about the size of it [21:22] so it's a lot like installing kvm on multiple systems with the ability to control all VM's from one system and some firewall rules into the systems? [21:22] yes [21:23] so there's not really any redundancy involved either? [21:23] when a template is started it gets given an ip from a range you allocate the cluster, an ssh key (for the user starting it) copied into it [21:23] MTecknology: depends on your definition of redundancy [21:23] you can buy 10 machines when you need the capacity of 8 [21:24] and if one blows up, restart the vm's that were on it and keep going [21:24] ok [21:24] thanks :D [21:24] the vm's get no persistent storage on the machine they are running on [21:24] I think that clears things up a whole lot for me :D [21:25] is it possible to have one server running on two systems? [21:25] no [21:25] or rather yes [21:25] :) [21:25] you can start the same machine image many many times [21:25] so if you have a MI that runs mysql in cluster mode, with an appropriate autoconfig as it comes online, then you can run that MI 10 times [21:26] nifty [21:26] and size the machine type such that its unlikely to end up with two instances on the same node controller [21:26] of course then you need backend storage that is fast and reliably like lusterfs/cephfs etc [21:26] I'm installing on ext4 [21:26] or you need an S3 mysql storage engine [21:27] MTecknology: nothing to do with what you're installing on [21:27] ok [21:27] when you install you are creating a substrate [21:27] its the foundations, nothing more [21:28] what else, oh, highly available clusters. I don't think that UEC itself is redundant [21:28] so should there be an nmblookup AND an nmblookup.samba3 file? [21:29] rather you're able to create two seperate UEC clusters with disjoint resources, and configure your app to run in both simultaneously (often needs app development to enable this) [21:32] lifeless: so two whole separate clsuters, then you setup the app so it runs in both systems simultaneously.... does mysql/apache support that? [21:33] chrisboom: sudo apt get install samba-common-bin [21:33] s/apt get/apt-get/ [21:33] MTecknology: 'often needs app development' ;) [21:34] lifeless: alrighty - thanks :D [21:34] lifeless: I love how well you explain your vast knowledge [21:34] there is a big debate at the moment [21:34] on whether folk want 'reliable clusters' or 'cheap to deploy lots of clusters' [21:35] k, gotta run [21:36] lifeless: I'm all for the reliable [21:59] I've managed to put my two main users on my server in /bin/false and as it turns out, for some unexplainable reason, my admin-user is not part of sudoers. These are the three users on the server. Is there any hope at all, without complete reinstallation? [22:00] Zajjko1: I think recovery system is available in server too [22:00] How do I access it? Would I need "sudo" to to so? [22:00] to do [22:01] Zajjko1: if I remember correctly you are dropped to a root console [22:02] Right on. [22:03] Hold on, though. By default in ubuntu server, root has no password and does no allow login [22:04] Come to think of it, that is by default in ubuntu overall [22:06] Zajjko1: should be no problem in recovery mode [22:08] Zajjko1: works as I said: you get a menu, choose net root and get a root console [22:13] guntbert: Ahh ok. So would I access it from the installed OS or via the install-CD? [22:14] guntbert: rather, How do I access it? : ) [22:14] MTecknology: well reliable costs more than cheap redundant, is the argument. bye for now. [22:15] Zajjko1: you boot from the HD, and press until the grub menu appears, there you select recovery mode [22:16] Thank you, guntbert. Will try that [22:16] Zajjko1: be sure to press early enough [23:11] !rl [23:16] Hi I am setting my ldap according how to and I dont undestand why is necesary this entry: ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap [23:16] My current ldap data doen't have this entry. Domebody know if is necesary to create? why?
