[00:26] <tense> hi
[00:28] <tense> I just set up a vpn server using the pptpd server but I'm having troubles to configuring the iptables to do NAT
[00:29] <tense> with ubuntu server 10.04
[00:59] <JohnDoy> tense: Why not use Vyatta, easier to config.
[01:05] <tense> humm
[01:05] <tense> i will try this
[01:05] <tense> thanks
[02:24] <jeeves_Moss> can someone tell me why hotmail would be giving me this error when I'm trying to send to my domain?  http://pastebin.ca/1874100
[02:32] <Wiebe> Hi, im failing atm wondered if you know how to solve it :)
[02:32] <Wiebe> trying stuff with SSH keys :)
[02:32] <Wiebe> but now i get this:
[02:32] <Wiebe> Received disconnect from 10.0.0.1: 2: Too many authentication failures for wiebe
[02:32] <Wiebe> can i get the SSH server to let me connect again (i can login from other accounts).
[02:32] <Wiebe> restarting the SSH server doesnt help.
[02:33] <Wiebe> or do i have to wait x minutes..
[02:51] <steven_t> hello :)
[02:52] <steven_t> how would i find on my own what the proper file is to run a script after the server boots up?
[03:11] <cxo> How do you figure which device node corresponds to ataX in the kernel log?
[03:12] <cxo> I have a hard drive that looks like its going to fail, the kernel log keeps saying ata7 is hard resetting. I want to know which /dev/sdaX it corresponds to so i can change the drive
[09:48] <Psi-Jack> Hmmm
[09:48] <Psi-Jack> Well, this is annoying as heck.
[09:49] <Psi-Jack> Why is it, when I setup a vm in virt-manager to use a more usable VNC display than the default 127.0.0.1 automagic one, it completely fails to let me manage it anymore in virt-manager, throwing python exceptions about character devices and such?
[09:51] <twb> pastebin the transcript, including what you changed and the new error message
[09:51] <twb> Might also be worth telling #libvirt (or is it #virt?)
[09:52] <Psi-Jack> Heh, not sure. :)
[09:52] <Psi-Jack> I'll set up another vm and do that, cause I want to be able to not have to use Xmingwin's Xlaunch from my windows workstation & laptop just to get to the console of a vm.
[09:53] <drake> Hello all.
[09:54] <drake> is that Ken1 from last night?
[10:40] <corpse> quick easy question, how do i make samba run on start up?
[10:44] <RoyK> corpse: iirc it'll start on boot when it's installed - that's default
[10:45] <RoyK> https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/installing-samba.html is a good place to start
[10:48] <corpse> yeah thats what i thought but when i reboot my server i need to run /etc/init.d/smbd restart  before i can connect with my other computers
[10:49] <corpse> which isnt not a big deal, i just thought there might be somthing i could do quick to make that unessesary
[10:50] <RoyK> cd /etc/rc2.d
[10:50] <RoyK> ln -s ../init.d/samba S95samba
[10:50] <RoyK> or something
[10:51] <RoyK> isn't there any S*samba in /etc/rc2.d ?
[10:52] <corpse> nope =\ all of my other server apps are there but no samba
[10:52] <RoyK> just make one
[10:52] <RoyK> symlink to the init script
[10:53] <RoyK> look at what's there
[10:53] <RoyK> there's a "proper" ubuntu way to do this, some command, but I don't remember - that command just makes the symlink anyway
[10:54] <corpse> working on it =P
[10:55] <RoyK> man update-rc.d
[10:55] <RoyK> that's the 'proper' command
[10:59] <corpse> lol think i ran the wrong command
[11:00] <RoyK> [11:50]  <RoyK> cd /etc/rc2.d
[11:00] <RoyK> [11:50]  <RoyK> ln -s ../init.d/samba S95samba
[11:00] <RoyK> that'll work
[11:01] <corpse> lol ok ill run it if a can get the server up again
[11:03] <corpse> i ran update rc.d smbd start | stop   it ran a bunch of errors now the server will not mount any of my drives or give me access to a comand line
[11:04] <corpse> i guess i have to learn some how
[11:13] <corpse> RoyK: thanks man that did it, very much appreciated
[13:04] <m_tadeu> hi everyone
[13:05] <m_tadeu> I just installed ubuntu server but the console history is not active
[13:06] <m_tadeu> mmm...guess the cursors are not working at all in the command line...can it be because it's running on a virtual machine?
[17:58] <desperate_man> hello. i am looking for someone who got time in PM. got problem with sysv/ startup script server 10.04
[18:03] <xperia> hello to all. how can i test if a connection to a specific port inside the lan is open ? example http://192.168.1.90:8080
[18:05] <very-desperate-m> hello. i am looking for assistance with server 10.04 to start script
[18:13] <desperate-man> hello. i try to find someone who can help me with an automated startup script problem on 10.04
[18:14] <desperate-man> got anyone time or ideas?
[18:15] <cloakable> Give me a moment and I'll get my crystal ball
[18:15] <desperate-man> done that. didn't workout
[18:17] <desperate-man> Does someone know OpenKM?
[18:21] <desperate-man> -
[18:25] <steven_t> ok so this is my plan on how to backup my vm: in the vm, mount a shared folder so host:~/grvm == guest:/mnt/shared and then inside the guest, cron a script that will rsync from guest:~/ to guest:/mnt/shared every N minutes .... what do you guys think?
[18:29] <desperate-man> Does Ubuntu 10.04 use upstart or sysv?
[18:34] <qman__> desperate-man, ubuntu uses upstart, but it has sysv emulation, so scripts in /etc/init.d/ should still work
[18:49] <gyre> hi...i have a q...im troubleshooting apache a little be and in tcpdump I can see ipv6 packets...instead of ipv4....when I check network settings I can see that ipv6 is disabled so what am I missing out ?
[18:50] <gyre> the problem im experiencing is related to apache2ctl command
[18:50] <gyre> is it using ipv6 procol and somehow bypassing network settings ??
[19:05] <RoyK> gyre: I'd recommend using wireshark instead - far simpler and way better
[19:13] <gyre> RoyK yeah true
[19:13] <gyre> but it gives the same results :)
[19:13] <gyre> so the problem is not in capturing process
[19:13] <gyre> problem is that i dont understand why is apache2ctl using ipv6 when querying apache2 status
[19:14] <RoyK> perhaps it defaults to trying on the best protocol?
[19:14] <RoyK> shouldn't matter much if it were using ipx, so long it does its job
[19:24] <gyre> RoyK how do I force it to use ipv4 ?
[19:24] <gyre> i dont want it to use ipv6
[19:24] <gyre> becaue obviously that's causing the troubles when retrieving the apache status on the commandline
[19:25] <RoyK> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/bind.html
[19:27] <gyre> RoyK im not talking about apache2 config...apache2 is set to be using ipv4 in my config
[19:27] <gyre> my questions is
[19:27] <gyre> why is APACHE2CTL using ipv6 when querying apache for the status
[19:29] <RoyK> do you use ipv6?
[19:32] <gyre> no
[19:32] <gyre> thats the weirdest thing
[19:32] <RoyK> just checked two ubuntu boxes, one with hardy and one with lucid, and it doesn't look like any of them uses ipv6 for apache2ctl
[19:32] <gyre> i have ipv6 disabled
[19:32] <gyre> i made few tcpdumps
[19:32] <gyre> and can see that it does
[19:33] <gyre> did you tcpdumped apache2ctl status ?
[19:33] <RoyK> just did an strace, and I see no traces of ipv6 there
[19:34] <gyre> check out my screenshots...i attached them to my post on ubuntuforums; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9384371#post9384371
[19:45] <qman__> gyre, what method did you use to disable ipv6?
[19:46] <RoyK> gyre: did you try to allow ::1 ?
[19:47] <qman__> I guess more to the point, if you disable ipv6 by blacklisting the kernel module, the software can't very well use ipv6 even if it wants to
[19:47] <qman__> as opposed to just blocking it all in the firewall or not configuring addresses
[19:51] <RoyK> I don't see a big point in disabling ipv6
[19:59] <gyre> qman_ i didnt try anything yet
[19:59] <gyre> i dont know how to do that
[20:00] <gyre> i only checked the network settings
[20:00] <gyre> thats it
[20:02] <yurist> ubuntu newbie needs some help with disc partition
[20:02] <yurist> gparted sais No devices detected
[20:25] <gyre> yurist can you run sudo fdisk -l ?
[20:40] <seanr> I added an SSL certificate to my box and configured apache to use it.  When I attempt to restart apache, it fails, but no errors show in error_log.  Why wouldn't it print out the error anywhere?  How can I tell what's tripping it up?
[20:41] <seanr> As soon as I remove the keys from default-ssl, apache starts, but I obviously need those keys to work.
[20:42] <guntbert> seanr: does the key have a passphrase set? that could be a reason..
[20:43] <seanr> guntbert, yes, but I have an sh script to output it and have apache pointed at it.
[20:44] <RoyK> remove the passphrase
[20:44] <seanr> Or at least I did, not sure which config file it was in.  Let me see if I can find it with a grep.
[20:44] <guntbert> seanr: crazy idea :-)  if the passphrase  is on the system anyway - why not remove it (if only for a test)
[20:46] <seanr> guntbert, I found it and removed it from mods-available/ssl.conf, tried to start apache, got fail and never did get the passphrase prompt.
[20:47] <seanr> Why doesn't apache give me any more info?
[20:47] <guntbert> seanr: increase the log level
[20:49] <seanr> guntbert, set it to debug and only got this: [Sun May 30 15:49:05 2010] [info] Init: Seeding PRNG with 648 bytes of entropy
[20:49] <seanr> Nothing else, still failed.
[20:50] <RoyK> it's no point of having a passphrase for ssl keys on a server
[20:50] <cloakable> indeed
[20:50] <seanr> OK, I'll regenerate them without then.
[20:50] <RoyK> seanr: you can remove it
[20:50] <seanr> How?
[20:50] <RoyK> don't remember the command, but still
[20:50] <RoyK> google for it :þ
[20:51] <RoyK> usually it's the last step in ssl howtos
[20:51] <RoyK> or one of the last steps
[20:51] <guntbert> seanr: you can remove the passphrase - look at the manpage of openssl search for passphrase -- you can always alter it so you can leave it empty too
[20:52] <seanr> OK
[21:02] <seanr> OK, completely regenerated the keys, re-keyed it on Godaddy, and uploaded the new crt files from them and it still won't start.
[21:03] <seanr> guntbert, the old certificate that worked was just a regular one, but the new one is a wildcard certificate - is there anything special about that that could be causing this to fail?  I still don't get why it won't tell me what the bleeding error is even with LogLevel set to debug.  WTF?
[21:04] <guntbert> !language
[21:04] <guntbert> seanr: I know nothing about wildcard certs -- sorry
[21:05] <RoyK> wtf is this !language stuff? is ubuntu a christian channel?
[21:06] <guntbert> !coc | RoyK
[21:07] <RoyK> guntbert: there is nothing in there about using the English language in full
[21:09] <guntbert> RoyK: but swear words (even obfuscated ones) are definitely unwanted
[21:12] <RoyK> why?
[21:16] <guntbert> !guidelines
[21:17] <RoyK> guntbert: no, I'm wondering about why, not some guidelines
[21:18] <RoyK> I was a little worried about how ubuntu would work on this 16 core box, but it's performed well with 100% cpu load over two weeks+
[21:18] <guntbert> RoyK: that is the way it is :-) I didn't make them ...
[21:18] <RoyK> that's rather totalistic - obey the rules, they are there, without a reason
[21:19] <guntbert> RoyK: the reasons are there - please read the guidelines
[21:19] <RoyK> I've read them
[21:19] <RoyK> they don't make sense
[21:20] <guntbert> RoyK: I don't want to discuss rules this evening to be honest
[21:21] <RoyK> seems noone really want to discuss them - totalist regimes should be quite little compatible with an open system like ubuntu
[21:41] <seanr> What do you guys know about an issue with openssl in ubuntu/debian?
[21:41] <seanr> Someone in #httpd just told me to ask.
[21:44] <MTecknology> How do I setup a master/slave for MySQL? Any idiots guide to it?
[21:46] <MTecknology> RoyK: I'll discuss - but I have a rather set view and we'll simply be battling the whole time
[21:48] <binBASH> MTecknology: You can find a lot tutorials for that kind of setup via google
[21:50] <MTecknology> binBASH: I figured - where there's a lot of info I usually like asking here because somebody usually has a link for the best way to do it in ubuntu :)
[21:50] <MTecknology> nice nick
[21:50] <binBASH> so you're lazy it seems :p
[21:51] <binBASH> anyways, I'm off. cya tomorrow
[22:53] <chrismsnz> hey guys, does anybody here have experience with varnish?
[22:54] <MTecknology> chrismsnz: i'm just starting to look into it
[22:54] <chrismsnz> I have a strange problem with it - the thing throws a 503 when I have firebug enabled :\
