[00:59] <bluethundr_> I am trying to setup a postffix-mysql-courier mail server in an AWS cloud using a RightScale Ubuntu Server 9.10 image ..however it looks like I don't have the apt sources to install the SASL auth modules
[00:59] <bluethundr_> http://pastebin.com/HJ6V71Jq
[01:00] <ScottK> You do have the right sources.list.
[01:00] <ScottK> I'd apt-get update and try again.
[01:01]  * bluethundr_ is on it
[01:03] <bluethundr_> that did it... thanks
[02:42] <SamuelPeterson> I currently have apache installed on ubuntu and I can not access the server remotely, only from computers connected to my router... I have no idea where to begin with trouble shooting this. I have read a lot about ufw and tried a lot of things, and even disabled it to see if it was the problem... but it's not.
[03:02] <gbear14275> hello, I'm trying to setup an ubuntu server as a virtual host and have 2 network connections...  I have connected ethernet cables to both ports but one doesn't seem to be working.  I was hoping someone might be able to point me to a howto which can show me how to setup a server with two nics.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you
[03:26] <bluethundr_> I am trying to map several directories (/tmp, /var, /var/logs) to an S3 bucket on EC2. I tried a dry run by setting up the partitions as /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb2 and /dev/sdb3 and labelling them with e2label. I am giving them interim names with '2' at the end (e.g. /tmp2) so that I can move the contents of those folders to the right place on the S3 bucket. I created a dry run with /tmp2 in my /etc/fstab (which I backe
[03:26] <bluethundr_> d up) but the device will not mouint. Any clues how best to proceed? http://pastebin.ca/1865735

[04:17] <Lunks> Hi, I'm trying to install OpenLDAP on my Ubuntu as a LDAP server. I'm not sure about the slapd.d directory structure. Is it fine if I just create directories inside it with names I want or does it follow LDAP structure?

[05:37] <ScottK> !weekend | Lunks
[05:39] <Lunks> ScottK: I'm being patient. It's been a while since I asked and a few people have joined the chat room.
[05:40] <ScottK> Lunks: Did you look in the Ubuntu Server Guide.  I know it has some openldap stuff.
[05:40] <Lunks> ScottK: Could you hand me a link? I've found it, but it just had 2 chapters.
[05:41] <ScottK> Lunks: What Ubuntu version are you running?
[05:41] <Lunks> 9.10
[05:41] <Lunks> I'm trying to use EBox, Ldap, ldapscripts, anything... but without success so far.
[05:43] <ScottK> https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/network-authentication.html
[05:43] <ScottK> In particular https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html#openldap-configuration
[05:44] <ScottK> Seem like they are relevant
[05:44] <Lunks> ScottK: thanks a lot!
[05:45] <ScottK> You're welcome.
[05:47] <Lunks> ScottK: so far ebox has been great on me, just checkboxes changing config files I've been struggling with. Hopefully it's the kind of changes I want, not the ones which will make me reinstall. :)
[05:47] <Lunks> I'll be sure to check the links you provided as well, of course.
[06:55] <ZeeshanQ> Hey, does anythone it is possible to bind 2 servers to port 80, on different subdomains
[06:55] <ZeeshanQ> on same ip
[10:49] <whalesalad> hey guys... know of anything out there that will sort of.. automatically mitigate a DoS? Something that will create iptables ip blocks on the fly when a host hits you too many times
[11:04] <mrp> im having trouble enabling ufw via ssh without killing my connection
[11:09] <RoyK> mrp: which distro?
[11:09] <RoyK> i mean version
[11:10] <RoyK> I've done it on 8.04 without problems - the connections that were active remained open, while new connections weren't allowed
[11:23] <mrp> hrmm its a vps
[11:23] <mrp> 9.10
[11:25] <RoyK> do you have access to the system now?
[11:25] <RoyK> http://pastebin.com/RR0HQkC1
[11:26] <mrp> i did a rebuild
[11:26] <mrp> now im upgrading to 10.04 :)
[11:27] <mrp> seeing as that is the next LTS
[11:27] <RoyK> yeah
[11:27] <RoyK> I have a couple of machines with 10.04 beta myself
[11:27] <mrp> vps is not critical
[11:27] <mrp> :_
[11:27] <mrp> just play around
[11:28] <RoyK> but I think I'll wait a few months before moving the 8.04 boxes over to 10.04
[11:28] <mrp> RoyK: yup
[11:30]  * RoyK is on a fscked up slow cell phone network and is counting down to the 6Mbps DSL installation - 22 hours left

[11:34] <mrp> where can i read up on this ubuntu cloud stuffs?
[11:35] <RoyK> just google uec
[13:21] <RoyK> wtf - ubuntu supports arm??
[13:23] <lifeless> RoyK: very much so
[13:23] <lifeless> RoyK: its a supported arch
[13:26] <lil_cain> That said, ubuntu used to support Sun_4v, and we got pretty badly burned by that. I certainly wouldn't rely on Ubuntu's ARM support.
[13:26] <RoyK> seems there's only a netbook release for arm
[13:26] <RoyK> I thought of using it on a Moxa box
[17:00] <ScottK> lil_cain: If you look at the current Canonical job postings, it's clear that Canonical is planning a major investment in arm.
[17:03] <TannerF> what does E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) mean and how do i fix it?
[17:20] <arrrghhh> when i try to install sun-java6-jdk it fails says there's no candidate version... how do i install jdk?
[17:50] <RoyK^> lol
[18:02] <persia> arrrghhh: Try openjdk-6-jdk (although 90% of the time you want openjdk-6-jre-headless on your server)
[18:27] <Sp3c1alK> Will ubuntu server also be upgraded to 10.04 along with the desktop version?
[18:28] <jpds> Sp3c1alK: Yes.
[18:44] <blue-frog> question not related to the server but could serve as well. where are the report generated by apport when a bug occurs?
[18:45] <ScottK> blue-frog: /var/crash
[18:46] <blue-frog> yeah thx just found it

[20:46] <binBASH> sure
[21:00] <Myx0x3> can anybody help me setup network bonding? i followed a guide before, but i had to reinstall ubuntu couse i could not get it to work after
[21:01] <Myx0x3> i followd this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding
[21:25] <slipper1024> upgraded from ubuntu server 6.06 to 8.04 running a live ispconfig install
[21:26] <slipper1024> everything working fine except smtp auth
[21:26] <slipper1024> testsaslauthd    authenticates succesfully
[21:27] <slipper1024> but no matter what i try smtp does not
[21:27] <slipper1024> anybody that can help
[21:27] <slipper1024> ?
[21:27] <slipper1024> postfix is the smtp server
[21:27] <slipper1024> cyrus sasl
[21:28] <ScottK> slipper1024: Are you using cyrus sasl or sasl2?
[21:28] <ScottK> Dapper had both and Hardy only supports sasl2
[21:29] <ScottK> It's been years since I was required to care about the details, but there are some changes needed to migrate to cyrus sasl2
[21:29] <slipper1024>    libsasl2-modules
[21:29] <slipper1024> i   libsasl2                                    - Cyrus SASL - authentication abstraction library (tran
[21:29] <slipper1024> i   libsasl2-2
[21:29] <slipper1024> installed
[21:30] <ScottK> IIRC Ubuntu Server Guide has good instructions for SMTP Auth setup on Ubuntu.
[21:30] <ScottK> I don't recall if for Hardy they used Cyrus or Dovecot.
[21:31] <lil_cain> I'd use dovecot anyway.
[21:31] <lil_cain> oh, smtp auth, not IMAP
[21:32] <ScottK> For SMTAP Auth, dovecot is generally easier to set up, but once you have one working, there's no great reason to prefer one over the other.
[21:32] <lil_cain> for IMAP, I found cyrus to be far faster than dovecot.
[21:32] <lil_cain> sorry, other way around.
[21:35] <slipper1024> ok, do i have to replace my current courier imap setup with dovecot to use dovecot sasl
[21:36] <slipper1024> ?
[21:36] <ScottK> No
[21:36] <slipper1024> any dovecot packages need to be installed
[21:36] <slipper1024> ?
[21:36] <slipper1024> dovecot.conf file created
[21:37] <slipper1024> in /etc/
[21:37] <slipper1024> and settings added to main.cf
[21:37] <slipper1024> but still hashed out
[21:37] <ScottK> Look in the server guide.  See help.ubuntu.com
[21:38] <slipper1024> looked at guides they do not mention anything to be installed
[21:38] <slipper1024> but it could be that they assume using dovecot mail
[21:38] <slipper1024> dovecot-common?
[21:38]  * ScottK doesn't recall.  Sorry.
[21:40] <ScottK> slipper1024: Yes.  https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/postfix.html#postfix-sasl
[21:45] <slipper1024> thanks man
[21:45] <slipper1024> this is looking good

[22:12] <orudie> how can I go about intsalling mysql, and apache2 on ubuntu server 9.10 ?
[22:14] <binBASH> orudie: try apt-get install httpd
[22:14] <binBASH> it will list you available webservers types
[22:14] <cloakable> apt-get install mysql-server apache2
[22:14] <cloakable> orudie: sudo apt-get install mysql-server apache2
[22:15] <slipper1024> ScottK: You are the best man
[22:15] <slipper1024> where can i send you're bottle of brandy to?
[22:16] <orudie> cloakable, got it thanx
[22:16] <ScottK> Thanks.
[22:16] <cloakable> orudie: no problem
[22:16] <ScottK> slipper1024: Just hang around and help someone else.  It all has to get paid forward.
[22:17] <orudie> !upgrade
[22:18] <slipper1024> i am still looking for a linux administrator to join me at the company i work in stellenbosh
[22:18] <slipper1024> anybody interested
[22:18] <slipper1024> +/-20k
[22:19] <binBASH> :-)
[22:19] <slipper1024> will it be safe to disable saslauthd completely now after implimenting dovecot, or does something else depend on it?
[22:20] <ScottK> Not unless you set something else up to use it.
[22:20] <slipper1024> binBASH: you want first dibs?
[22:22] <binBASH> slipper1024: Thanks I have a good job already.
[22:22] <binBASH> Working in Zurich ...
[22:26] <bogeyd6> slipper1024, you pay to relocate and sponsor a visa?
[22:27] <slipper1024> you got me, forgot on what channel i was
[22:28] <binBASH> :p
[22:52] <Sp3c1alK_> I just installed ubuntu server 9.10, configured everything how I want it and now upon restart I'm getting "could not access PID file for nmbd" and "connectors have no modes"
[22:52] <Sp3c1alK_> Now I can't do anything. Even in recorey mode.
[23:29] <Sp3c1alK_> When someone says "remove quiet and splash from the grub boot entry" that means editing the entry by pressing 'e' right?
[23:34] <ChmEarl> Sp3c1alK, yes, but when you re-enter the OS edit grub.cfg and locate default kernel options in comments
[23:36] <ChmEarl> Sp3c1alK, with those errors might go into tasksel and remove samba/windows server
[23:41] <Sp3c1alK> It didn't work, I still can't get into the OS
[23:41] <Sp3c1alK> it's freezing on an error and wont budge
[23:46] <Jeeves_Moss> how can I setup software RAID sice for some messed up reason, Linux won't see the sis RAID controller on-board
[23:46] <persia> Jeeves_Moss: Can you see the underlying drives?
[23:48] <persia> If you can, the following (old, but likely still relevant) page may help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Raid
[23:48] <persia> If you can't, then you have one of those nifty-cool high-performance HW raid controllers, and you need to go find a driver.
[23:53] <Jeeves_Moss> persia, thanks.  do you know if there is a way to get the OS to see the motherboard RAID controller?  I can see it (as the RAID drive) in XP
[23:53] <hey_you> hi, I need help, i can't connect to my SSH on ubuntu. any help ?
