[00:59] 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] http://pastebin.com/HJ6V71Jq [01:00] You do have the right sources.list. [01:00] I'd apt-get update and try again. [01:01] * bluethundr_ is on it [01:03] that did it... thanks [02:42] 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] 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] 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] d up) but the device will not mouint. Any clues how best to proceed? http://pastebin.ca/1865735 [03:49] im looking for a way to get a cheap home phone, whats the best route? asterisk, with sip or voip? [04:17] 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? [05:36] 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] !weekend | Lunks [05:37] Lunks: It's a weekend. Often on weekends the paid developers and a lot of the community may not be around to answer your question. Please be patient, wait longer than you normally would or try again during the working week. [05:39] ScottK: I'm being patient. It's been a while since I asked and a few people have joined the chat room. [05:40] Lunks: Did you look in the Ubuntu Server Guide. I know it has some openldap stuff. [05:40] ScottK: Could you hand me a link? I've found it, but it just had 2 chapters. [05:41] Lunks: What Ubuntu version are you running? [05:41] 9.10 [05:41] I'm trying to use EBox, Ldap, ldapscripts, anything... but without success so far. [05:43] https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/network-authentication.html [05:43] In particular https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html#openldap-configuration [05:44] Seem like they are relevant [05:44] ScottK: thanks a lot! [05:45] You're welcome. [05:47] 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] I'll be sure to check the links you provided as well, of course. [06:55] Hey, does anythone it is possible to bind 2 servers to port 80, on different subdomains [06:55] on same ip === RCZA is now known as RootChaos === lool- is now known as lool === samferry is now known as Guest99733 === lschmidt is now known as Schmidt [10:49] 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] im having trouble enabling ufw via ssh without killing my connection [11:09] mrp: which distro? [11:09] i mean version [11:10] I've done it on 8.04 without problems - the connections that were active remained open, while new connections weren't allowed [11:23] hrmm its a vps [11:23] 9.10 [11:25] do you have access to the system now? [11:25] http://pastebin.com/RR0HQkC1 [11:26] i did a rebuild [11:26] now im upgrading to 10.04 :) [11:27] seeing as that is the next LTS [11:27] yeah [11:27] I have a couple of machines with 10.04 beta myself [11:27] vps is not critical [11:27] :_ [11:27] just play around [11:28] but I think I'll wait a few months before moving the 8.04 boxes over to 10.04 [11:28] 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 [11:32] bugger that [11:34] where can i read up on this ubuntu cloud stuffs? [11:35] just google uec [13:21] wtf - ubuntu supports arm?? [13:23] RoyK: very much so [13:23] RoyK: its a supported arch [13:26] 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] seems there's only a netbook release for arm [13:26] I thought of using it on a Moxa box === steffan_ is now known as steffan === mcas is now known as mcas1 === baytes|work is now known as baytes [17:00] 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] what does E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) mean and how do i fix it? [17:20] when i try to install sun-java6-jdk it fails says there's no candidate version... how do i install jdk? [17:41] New bug: #566069 in samba (main) "package samba-common 2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3.4 failed to install/upgrade: le sous-processus post-installation script a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 1 : I want to install adobe flash player for browsing (with firefox) but it is not working using 3 different ways." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/566069 [17:50] lol [18:02] arrrghhh: Try openjdk-6-jdk (although 90% of the time you want openjdk-6-jre-headless on your server) [18:27] Will ubuntu server also be upgraded to 10.04 along with the desktop version? [18:28] Sp3c1alK: Yes. [18:44] question not related to the server but could serve as well. where are the report generated by apport when a bug occurs? [18:45] blue-frog: /var/crash [18:46] yeah thx just found it [18:55] !webmin [18:56] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [19:01] !ebox [19:01] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [20:40] is anybody watching here? [20:46] sure === RoyK^ is now known as RoyK [21:00] 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] i followd this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding [21:25] upgraded from ubuntu server 6.06 to 8.04 running a live ispconfig install [21:26] everything working fine except smtp auth [21:26] testsaslauthd authenticates succesfully [21:27] but no matter what i try smtp does not [21:27] anybody that can help [21:27] ? [21:27] postfix is the smtp server [21:27] cyrus sasl [21:28] slipper1024: Are you using cyrus sasl or sasl2? [21:28] Dapper had both and Hardy only supports sasl2 [21:29] 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] libsasl2-modules [21:29] i libsasl2 - Cyrus SASL - authentication abstraction library (tran [21:29] i libsasl2-2 [21:29] installed [21:30] IIRC Ubuntu Server Guide has good instructions for SMTP Auth setup on Ubuntu. [21:30] I don't recall if for Hardy they used Cyrus or Dovecot. [21:31] I'd use dovecot anyway. [21:31] oh, smtp auth, not IMAP [21:32] 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] for IMAP, I found cyrus to be far faster than dovecot. [21:32] sorry, other way around. [21:35] ok, do i have to replace my current courier imap setup with dovecot to use dovecot sasl [21:36] ? [21:36] No [21:36] any dovecot packages need to be installed [21:36] ? [21:36] dovecot.conf file created [21:37] in /etc/ [21:37] and settings added to main.cf [21:37] but still hashed out [21:37] Look in the server guide. See help.ubuntu.com [21:38] looked at guides they do not mention anything to be installed [21:38] but it could be that they assume using dovecot mail [21:38] dovecot-common? [21:38] * ScottK doesn't recall. Sorry.

[22:16] cloakable, got it thanx [22:16] Thanks. [22:16] orudie: no problem [22:16] slipper1024: Just hang around and help someone else. It all has to get paid forward.

[22:20] Not unless you set something else up to use it. [22:20] binBASH: you want first dibs? [22:22] slipper1024: Thanks I have a good job already. [22:22] Working in Zurich ...

Even in recorey mode. === sferry is now known as three [23:29] When someone says "remove quiet and splash from the grub boot entry" that means editing the entry by pressing 'e' right? [23:34] Sp3c1alK, yes, but when you re-enter the OS edit grub.cfg and locate default kernel options in comments [23:36] Sp3c1alK, with those errors might go into tasksel and remove samba/windows server [23:41] It didn't work, I still can't get into the OS [23:41] it's freezing on an error and wont budge [23:46] how can I setup software RAID sice for some messed up reason, Linux won't see the sis RAID controller on-board [23:46] Jeeves_Moss: Can you see the underlying drives? [23:48] If you can, the following (old, but likely still relevant) page may help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Raid [23:48] 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] 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] hi, I need help, i can't connect to my SSH on ubuntu. any help ? [23:54] Jeeves_Moss: Do you see the underlying drives?
