| Shapeshiftr | how can I use SFTP if it's not auto-sudo? | 02:33 |

| twb | SFTP is a module of SSH. | 02:33 |

| EvilTrek | yeah use sudo there Shapeshiftr, because sftp doesnt mean sudoftp :P | 02:35 |
| twb | trondpeter: are you running lucid? | 02:36 |
| EvilTrek | Shapeshiftr: since I assume your user you're using doesnt ahve ownership of the destination folder /home/administrator | 02:36 |
| Shapeshiftr | I've logged into the SFTP as administrator | 02:36 |
| Shapeshiftr | No, I do. | 02:36 |
| Shapeshiftr | I AM administrator | 02:36 |
| EvilTrek | hrm interesting... | 02:36 |
| twb | Shapeshiftr: does an SFTP GET work? | 02:36 |
| EvilTrek | check ls -l /home/ | 02:36 |
| EvilTrek | that too | 02:36 |
| Shapeshiftr | hrm, twb ? | 02:37 |
| EvilTrek | make sure that the administrator folder though is owned by your user | 02:37 |
| Shapeshiftr | how would I go about doing that? | 02:37 |
| trondpeter | yep server edition with samba kerberos authentication in a winblows AD domain | 02:37 |
| EvilTrek | Shapeshiftr: its a function: within SFTP... GET <remote file> | 02:37 |
| EvilTrek | ? | 02:37 |
| EvilTrek | i think | 02:37 |
| Shapeshiftr | um, EvilTrek , I've logged in to the STFP client as administrator | 02:37 |
| Shapeshiftr | So of course I have permissions :3 | 02:37 |
| trondpeter | ls -al ? :) | 02:37 |
| EvilTrek | trondpeter: not fer ya, :P | 02:38 |
| trondpeter | chown user:group file | 02:38 |
| Shapeshiftr | Ok, so I'm using FileZilla | 02:38 |
| Shapeshiftr | I drag and drop a file from my computer to the remote server computer. | 02:39 |
| Shapeshiftr | And, write permission error. | 02:39 |
| Shapeshiftr | :\ | 02:39 |
| Shapeshiftr | What does ls do, btw? | 02:39 |
| qman__ | Shapeshiftr, just because you _should_ have permission doesn't mean you _do_ have permission | 02:40 |
| qman__ | ls -al will tell you who owns and has permission to the files | 02:40 |
| Shapeshiftr | Well, how would I not have write permissions for my own home folder? ... | 02:40 |
| Shapeshiftr | Ok, running, one sec. | 02:41 |
| qman__ | you could have write to /home/administrator but not /home/administrator/levels | 02:41 |
| qman__ | or, /home/administrator/levels/two.lvl specifically | 02:41 |
| twb | trondpeter: did you upgrade in-place from a previous release? | 02:41 |
| Shapeshiftr | Ah, the folder i'm trying to copy to is set to root. | 02:42 |
| Shapeshiftr | Yeah, /levels | 02:42 |
| Shapeshiftr | How would I change that? | 02:42 |
| qman__ | Shapeshiftr, sudo chown -R administrator:administrator /home/administrator/levels | 02:43 |
| Shapeshiftr | 3 seperate lines? | 02:43 |
| Shapeshiftr | *separate | 02:43 |
| qman__ | one line | 02:43 |
| Shapeshiftr | Erm, I mean, spaces in between each line? | 02:44 |
| Shapeshiftr | of course, that was a stupid question. | 02:44 |
| qman__ | exactly as I have written it, in a terminal | 02:44 |
| qman__ | that sort of thing happens when you use sudo to create directories or files | 02:44 |
| Shapeshiftr | Ah... | 02:45 |
| Shapeshiftr | I'll remember that for next time. | 02:45 |
| qman__ | not a big deal, but you need to fix it if you want user-level access | 02:45 |
| Shapeshiftr | It's a personal server, I'm really the only user besides root | 02:45 |

| bogeyd6 | twb, i was talking about asking about "ls"and etc.... | 02:59 |
| qman__ | trondpeter, did you try pressing escape? | 03:00 |
| qman__ | for some reason, lucid server likes to add the stupid graphical loading screen and hiding all messages | 03:00 |
| qman__ | that might be hanging you up | 03:00 |
| twb | qman__: it's a "feature" that we can't remove :-/ | 03:02 |
| twb | Even if you comment out splash in the boot options, it still runs plymouth -- all that you disable is the chvt 7 | 03:02 |
| qman__ | yuck | 03:02 |
| qman__ | first thing I always did on my servers was remove 'quiet splash' from the boot line | 03:03 |
| qman__ | invaluable when things break | 03:03 |
| twb | AND, in plymouth, hitting ESC makes it print the full history, without clearing the screen first -- so if you only have five lines, and you hit ESC a few times, it prints it over and over in a confusing way | 03:03 |
| twb | You also have to opt-out of fbcon now, and you *can't* opt out in d-i images. | 03:04 |
| qman__ | I understand that vanity is an issue for desktops, but for server, come on | 03:04 |
| twb | qman__: allegedly "it's not just splash" | 03:04 |

| doko | hi, what is the ubuntu-server-qa/regression-test ppa about? | 10:40 |
| crankyadmin | Hi there, Will ruby1.9 every become the default version in 10.04LTS server edition? | 10:45 |
| twb | 10.04 is released, therefore it is stable. That's "stable" as in "does not change". So if it isn't already the default, it's unlikely to become so. | 10:48 |
| crankyadmin | Cool thanks. | 10:50 |
| RoyK | twb: that definition of "stable" is nonesense - feature-freeze != stable | 10:57 |
| RoyK | but then, 10.04 _is_ fairly stable | 10:57 |
| twb | Freezes happen before the release. | 10:57 |
| RoyK | yeah, but "stable" != "feature-frozen" | 10:57 |
| twb | As at the release, it becomes stable. There are exceptions (notably, security patches), but these are exceptions. | 10:57 |
| RoyK | you said `That's "stable" as in "does not change"` | 10:58 |
| twb | Precisely. | 10:58 |
| RoyK | that's abusing the word `stable` | 10:58 |
| RoyK | "does not change" is "feature-frozen", and has nothing to do with the word "stable" | 10:59 |
| twb | Plonk. | 10:59 |
| RoyK | the only other place I've seen mixup of that was from the AsteriskPBX guys, but then, that project is a mess and is pretty far from any type of stability | 10:59 |
| crankyadmin | So am I correct in assuming that 'apt-get install ruby' will never install ruby1.9? | 10:59 |
| RoyK | crankyadmin: there might be other repositories if you want it from a package | 11:00 |
| twb | crankyadmin: on 10.04, that is a reasonably safe assumption. | 11:00 |
| === schmidtm_ is now known as schmidtm | ||
| crankyadmin | Cool | 11:01 |
| twb | crankyadmin: for a security update to change ruby from 1.8 to 1.9, it'd have to be something both critical and impossible to backport. | 11:02 |
| twb | Of course, it you have stuff like lucid-backports or PPAs enabled, you might accidentally get 1.9 | 11:02 |
| RoyK | crankyadmin: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ | 11:02 |

| p1l0t | In sshd what is pubkey authentication? | 15:50 |
| patdk-wk | rsa/dha key exchanges | 15:51 |
| p1l0t | OK so pubkey must be allowed to use RSA or DSA | 15:51 |
| patdk-wk | yep | 15:52 |
| p1l0t | If you change ssh_config and sshd_config to RSAuthentication yes and Password Authentication to no why would auth.log still be showing invalid user attempts? | 15:52 |
| patdk-wk | AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys | 15:52 |
| patdk-wk | do you have any authorized keys? | 15:53 |
| p1l0t | Yes I have a working key, I am just curious as to why random (hackers or bots probably) are showing up in auth.log with invalid user attempts | 15:53 |
| p1l0t | crackers I should say | 15:54 |
| patdk-wk | oh? | 15:55 |
| patdk-wk | cause it's invalid :) | 15:55 |
| p1l0t | lol yeah I guess that makes sense. | 15:55 |
| p1l0t | I was expecting it to say invalid key rather than invalid user I guess | 15:56 |
| patdk-wk | is the user valid? | 15:56 |
| p1l0t | negative | 15:56 |
| kozmund | I don't believe sshd exposes the fact that keyboard-interactive is disabled, just like sshd won't expose that the username someone is attempting doesn't exist. | 15:56 |
| p1l0t | kozmund: Yes for security that would make sense | 15:57 |
| patdk-wk | hmm, I don't get that | 15:58 |
| patdk-wk | with mine, configed with passwordAuthenication = no | 15:58 |
| patdk-wk | it doesn't attempt passwordauth at all, on the client side | 15:59 |
| patdk-wk | no error messsages logged | 15:59 |
| p1l0t | mine too. Some attempts say invalid key, which would be expected, but some say invalid user which I guess I don't how they got that far with password attempts disabled | 15:59 |
| patdk-wk | ya, I get invalid user | 16:00 |
| patdk-wk | but the user check happens long before the password check | 16:00 |
| patdk-wk | as it needs to know hte user, to find the directory for the certs | 16:01 |
| p1l0t | before the key check even? | 16:01 |
| patdk-wk | yes | 16:01 |
| patdk-wk | you can't find the key, without looking in the users home dir for them | 16:01 |
| p1l0t | Ah, that makes me feel better | 16:01 |
| p1l0t | I was worried I had missed disabling something. I have had so many brute-force attempts that I felt I needed key based authentication | 16:02 |
| patdk-wk | heh, simple firewall based rules normally do good with that | 16:03 |
| patdk-wk | if not, fail2ban | 16:03 |

| sherr | Question about KVM and LV - In Xen, an LV is seen/inserted into a guest as a partition (e.g. xvda1). In KVM, an LV is is seen as an entire disk in the guest i.e. /dev/vdb. | 16:59 |
| patdk-wk | actually, in xen it's optional | 16:59 |
| patdk-wk | I do it both ways | 16:59 |
| patdk-wk | I personally feel inserting it as a partition is evil | 16:59 |
| sherr | Is there a problem (downside) to not putting a partition table on the LV inside the guest (vdb1) and just a filesystem on the entire device vdb? This seems "cleaner". | 16:59 |
| patdk-wk | sherr, generally you will be fine | 17:00 |
| patdk-wk | but some things will freak out, and *install* a partition table for you | 17:00 |
| sherr | Thanks - it seems to work OK, but just planning. | 17:00 |
| patdk-wk | I have run without a partition table on systems for awhile, and it works | 17:00 |
| sherr | I *am* concerned about compatibility and data safety. | 17:00 |
| patdk-wk | but when I tried openfiler, it wipes the drive if it doesn't have a partition table | 17:00 |
| sherr | Thanks. I will note that concern about things like OpenFiler - don;'t think it will affect me. | 17:02 |
| patdk-wk | ya, openfiler I know will screw it up :) | 17:02 |
| patdk-wk | haven't had anyhting else yet, but I normally don't use gui stuff | 17:02 |
| sherr | I think I am going to have to search LP for bugs and probably log one though - trying to use "virsh" to "attach-disk" (hotplug) will hang the guest. | 17:03 |
| sherr | Not a show-stopper for me, but a shame. | 17:03 |
| patdk-wk | ya, I haven't used kvm at all, but lots of xen | 17:03 |
| patdk-wk | switching them all over to vmware though | 17:04 |
| sherr | I use Xen too ... but have had to switch to KVM because of new hardware. | 17:04 |
| sherr | Debian Stable/Xen - unsupported h/w. Debian Testing/Xen - unstable ... so, on Ubuntu Lucid 10:04 now :-) | 17:05 |
| patdk-wk | I'm still in 8.04 | 17:05 |
| patdk-wk | cause of xen | 17:05 |
| patdk-wk | once the move to vmware is good, it will all be 10.04 | 17:05 |

| zeeeeee | How do i disable the initial password to my server- if i remote reboot, I lose connection, and have to manually take my keyboard and plug it into my server box and enter a password... | 18:54 |
| SpamapS | zeeeeee: like, a BIOS password? | 18:56 |
| zeeeeee | hmmm it seems like it's some sort of hd access password- once I enter it, it gives me the ubuntu-server main info page | 18:57 |
| zeeeeee | but there's no way (that I've figured out) to enter the password remotely | 18:58 |
| zeeeeee | upon rebooting | 18:58 |
| zeeeeee | surely it was some setting I enabled during install | 18:58 |
| patdk-wk | you can't | 19:07 |
| patdk-wk | if that is a harddrive password | 19:07 |
| patdk-wk | that has to be entered long before ubuntu starts | 19:07 |
| patdk-wk | to disable it is annoying, if possible | 19:08 |
| zeeeeee | it's harddrive encryption that i installed w/ubuntu server. oi vei.. is there some encryptfs file I can delete? | 19:13 |
| patdk-wk | whole disk encryption? | 19:14 |
| patdk-wk | normal encryption setup by ubuntu is on the user level, not the whole system | 19:14 |
| patdk-wk | seems really pointless to have an encrypted system, where the system can boot without a password | 19:16 |
| patdk-wk | I can only guess your used cryptsetup to do it | 19:16 |
| patdk-wk | and in that case you need to modify your /etc/crypttab file | 19:16 |
| patdk-wk | http://linux.die.net/man/5/crypttab | 19:18 |
| patdk-wk | 3rd field, sets the password | 19:18 |

| qman__ | could be a race condition problem, but you'd have to do some testing to make sure | 21:10 |
| === Guest76109 is now known as ericboehs | ||
| peeps[work] | qman__, how would i test such a thing? | 21:12 |
| qman__ | I'm not exactly sure of the best way to go about that, far as logging the information | 21:13 |
| qman__ | but a race condition is when something (ie apache) tries to start before something it depends on (ie the network) has finished starting, and fails | 21:14 |
| peeps[work] | if it attempted to start during boot and failed, would it be in any particular log file? i don't know very well what everything in /var/log relates to | 21:14 |
| qman__ | but then would start fine once the system is booted and you try it manually | 21:14 |
| qman__ | it would | 21:14 |
| qman__ | probably messages or syslog | 21:14 |
| qman__ | there would also probably be something in apache/error.log | 21:14 |
| peeps[work] | qman__, what files configure what is run on startup? | 21:21 |
| qman__ | I don't know where they're at now, since the change to upstart | 21:22 |
| peeps[work] | argh | 21:22 |
| qman__ | looks like I still have /etc/init.d/apache2 | 21:23 |
| peeps[work] | how does it know to call /etc/init.d/apache2. is there a file that lists what to call in init.d, or what order? or does it just automatically call everything in etc/init.d | 21:24 |
| qman__ | well, there used to be sysvinit configuration, but now it's all upstart | 21:25 |
| qman__ | looks like apache is still started the sysv way, just through upstart | 21:25 |
| peeps[work] | actually i had boinc on this server as well, and that doesn't start either | 21:28 |
| qman__ | ah, it still has the rc?.d file structure | 21:28 |

| thesheff17__ | what is the method for adding a service to startup...I'm assuming update-rc.d is going to go away as well | 22:54 |
| thesheff17__ | you shouldn't be starting services through cron | 22:54 |
