| KurtKraut | Raymond, Google developed a replacement for FreeNX. At the moment, it is 'abandonware' as FreeNX, but it is at least more recent. I recommend you to take a look at it. | 00:02 |
| KurtKraut | Raymond, I've installed it once in Ubuntu but I can't even remember the name. | 00:03 |
| Raymond | Kurt. | 00:03 |
| Raymond | I have someone trouble installing it. | 00:03 |
| Raymond | It wont install. | 00:03 |
| Raymond | At the moment I am connecting using putty. | 00:03 |
| allquixotic | why not use the official NX server? it may not be open source, but it works. unless you have a specific requirement for free software, it's better supported. | 00:05 |
| allquixotic | it's at least freeware, and non-invasive. | 00:06 |
| Raymond | I just want to run apache, curl, mysql thats all. | 00:06 |
| allquixotic | Why would you need NX for that at all? | 00:06 |
| allquixotic | You can do all of that over SSH/Putty. | 00:06 |
| Raymond | In not good with CLI | 00:07 |
| Raymond | Only GUI. | 00:07 |
| Raymond | :S | 00:07 |
| Raymond | Sounds weird. | 00:07 |
| Raymond | allquixotic, how would you do that? | 00:07 |
| Raymond | Install apache, mysql, curl | 00:07 |
| allquixotic | if you don't want to learn CLI commands, there are decent GUIs for setting up Apache/MySQL/etc in so-called admin consoles. Plesk, cPanel, Webmin, eBox... | 00:08 |
| allquixotic | but you'll still need to execute at least a few CLI commands to install one of those. | 00:08 |
| Raymond | sudo apt-get install apache curl mysql | 00:08 |
| Raymond | someone said that | 00:08 |
| allquixotic | use aptitude search to find the package name you want to install. just put in a broad search term you want to look for | 00:09 |
| allquixotic | such as: aptitude search sql | 00:09 |
| Raymond | ahh | 00:09 |
| Raymond | hard | 00:09 |
| Raymond | :S | 00:09 |
| allquixotic | then: sudo aptitude install <packagename> | 00:09 |
| allquixotic | uh, no? not hard. | 00:09 |
| Raymond | Well.. | 00:09 |
| Raymond | You know XAMPP? | 00:09 |
| Raymond | I just want that running. | 00:09 |
| Raymond | XAMPP contains MYSQL, apache, curl, php | 00:09 |
| Raymond | withour GUI how would I install this.. | 00:10 |
| Raymond | http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html | 00:10 |
| allquixotic | Well, I just looked up XAMPP (hadn't heard of it before), and it seems to be based on the incorrect premise that setting up an AMP stack is "hard". It's not -- you just have to become habituated with it. you'll be a much better sysadmin for the learning. | 00:11 |
| allquixotic | but if they pride themselves on having an easy to use distribution of apache and mysql, then presumably they also have easy installation instructions. | 00:11 |
| allquixotic | if not, then XAMPP is no easier for you than doing it manually. | 00:12 |
| Raymond | ... | 00:12 |
| Raymond | Not sure how im going to do this | 00:12 |
| Raymond | I could of done this by using GUI | 00:12 |
| Raymond | NXCLient. | 00:12 |
| allquixotic | the package name for apache is apache2. | 00:12 |
| allquixotic | the package name for mysql is mysql-server. | 00:12 |
| Raymond | ah ic | 00:13 |
| Raymond | not enough ram | 00:34 |

| benedikt | ive been going for over 12 hours and im up to inode 2388/2735 | 15:07 |
| jo-erlend | no, that doesn't sound right at all. | 15:08 |
| benedikt | thought so | 15:09 |
| benedikt | both the guest and host are under immense load | 15:09 |
| benedikt | creating new hosts takes under 5 minutes | 15:09 |
| benedikt | even with a large v-disk | 15:09 |
| giovani_ | well, yes, of course, a virtualized disk is slower than a physical disk | 15:10 |
| benedikt | yeah | 15:10 |
| giovani_ | but it shouldn't take 12 hours | 15:10 |
| benedikt | but, *this* much slower? | 15:10 |
| giovani_ | to do a simple format | 15:10 |
| benedikt | its 350 gb, but this is riddiculous | 15:10 |

| giovani_ | dmesg, /var/log/all, etc | 15:11 |
| giovani_ | i.e. low-level errors from the SATA controllers | 15:11 |
| benedikt | dmesg on the host has some kernel messages that could be relevant | 15:12 |

| giovani_ | are you up to date with all kernels, and packages? | 15:16 |
| benedikt | yup | 15:16 |
| giovani_ | can you verify? what kernel is being run on the host and guest? | 15:17 |
| giovani_ | uname -r will do | 15:17 |
| benedikt | fairly, the host is running 2.6.32-21 | 15:17 |
| benedikt | and guest is 2.6.32-24-generic-pae | 15:17 |
| giovani_ | ok | 15:17 |

| djkrikke | Hello guys, I'm extremely confused. I installed the apache2 php5 module, but I want to enable it only for certain virtual hosts | 15:19 |
| djkrikke | so I modified the mods-available/php5.conf, and removed the addhandlers | 15:19 |
| djkrikke | but every website is still capable of running php? | 15:19 |
| djkrikke | I don't understand how this is possible | 15:20 |
| djkrikke | the module gets loaded, but there is no handler definition for .php files | 15:20 |
| djkrikke | and they still run php | 15:20 |
| benedikt | the format is done soon though. ill run fsck and see if there are any errors.. googling hasnt turned out anything, but this is certainly strange | 15:20 |
| djkrikke | ok, very funny, the mime module did the trick | 15:24 |
| djkrikke | how is it possible that mime loads the php handlers? | 15:36 |
| djkrikke | hmm, I still can't figure it out | 15:40 |
| djkrikke | my php5.conf is empty | 15:40 |
| djkrikke | so the addhandler and addtypes are gone | 15:40 |
| djkrikke | but still php files are ran as php | 15:40 |
| djkrikke | nobody an idea? | 15:41 |

| veebull | I haven't used that document (and unfortunately I'm not at a ubuntu machine right now) but there used to be an older document on the same subject but for Debian that worked pretty well | 17:26 |
| veebull | just had to do a little translation for the newer drive IDs used in /etc/fstab | 17:26 |
| jeiworth_ | hmm kk thanks, will do a search for it | 17:30 |
| jeiworth_ | strange thing for example is that when i create the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf using mdadm --examine --scan the UUIDs it detect are the UUIDs from the partitions of the /dev/sdb disk and not from /dev/md, i.e. i do a blkid on e.g. /etc/sdb1 and /dev/md1 and mdadm detects the UUID from /dev/sdb1 | 17:32 |

| Akranis | Hi. I'm having some problems installing Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 on one of my machines. At about 75% into the installation, it stops recognising the cdrom, prompting me to insert "Ubuntu-Server 10.04.1 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 (20100816.2)". I did an ls on /cdrom/ and the drive is still mounted. | 18:27 |

| jeiworth_ | Akranis: i had the same problem bascally, although it never reached 75% but much earlier, apparently the jumper of the cdrom was set to slave, i put it on cs (cable select) and after that it worked just fine | 18:30 |
| Akranis | jeiworth_: Could be, I don't remember checking the jumpers on the cd-rom when I assembled this computer. | 18:31 |
| corecode | alvin: must be different; for me a manual --assemble --scan always works | 18:31 |
| corecode | alvin: but i don't even find the place where mdadm is called | 18:31 |
| corecode | when does that happen in boot? | 18:31 |
| alvin | Everything happens at once nowadays. Lucid broke auto-assembly. I have to give the command after boot. | 18:32 |

| quizme | can somebody help me out with this? | 20:42 |
| quizme | i am logged into my router | 20:42 |
| quizme | but i think you can do this with ssh port forwarding right? | 20:42 |
| quizme | i want to be able to log in as soon as the computer turns on (when it shows the login prompt) so that I can tell my dad to just turn on the computer | 20:43 |
| quizme | my router forwards all packets (no firewall) | 20:44 |
| quizme | so i was able to do: nc -l 12345 | cat <--- then from my webserver: curl <public ip>:12345.... and it worked | 20:44 |
| zash | quizme: You don't need cat | 20:45 |
| zash | fyi ;) | 20:46 |
| quizme | zash oh hehe thanks | 20:49 |
| quizme | zash he my inet addr for eth0 is 192.168.0.12... does that stay the same everytime i reboot? | 20:50 |
| zash | do you have a router or something with dhcp? | 20:50 |
| quizme | zash: yeah a motorola sbg900 | 20:51 |
| quizme | zash: comcast | 20:51 |
| quizme | zash: i wanna try to login from web server when i'm overseas. so that i have more computing power | 20:51 |
| zash | if the computer is turned of for some weeks and then started it might get a new ip | 20:51 |
| zash | otherwise should get the same | 20:52 |
| quizme | zash: oh... is there a way to fix it to say "192.168.0.42" or something ? | 20:52 |
| quizme | zash: cuz i'm going to be overseas. | 20:52 |
| zash | look for something like "static assignments", or don't turn the computer off | 20:53 |
| zash | also, ssh is on port 22 | 20:53 |
| quizme | zash: oh... "static assignments" on my ubuntu box ? | 20:53 |
| zash | quizme: in your router config | 20:54 |
| quizme | zash: okay i'll try | 20:54 |
| quizme | i feel pretty high tech doing this lol | 20:55 |
| zash | anyways | 20:55 |
| zash | computers and stuff aren't usualy assigned new ip's unless they are turned off for a while | 20:55 |
| quizme | zash it might happen... cuz i'm going to be traveling. my dad might turn off my computer for a couple weeks | 20:56 |
| zash | try asking him not to | 20:57 |
| zash | but usualy they get the same | 20:57 |
| quizme | zash yeah i could do that... but that adds a human random variable to the set up. | 20:57 |
| qman__ | depends on the router, newer ones tend to give you the same address, but not always | 20:58 |

| quizme | guntbert: thanks | 21:00 |
| guntbert | quizme: there is a section networking, looks a bit intimidating | 21:02 |
| qman__ | that gets into a lot of detail and covers networking things you aren't really interested in, specifically you want the "IP Addressing" subsection, and the "Static IP Address Assignment" part of that subsection | 21:02 |
| guntbert | quizme: search for "static ip address assignment" | 21:04 |
| quizme | http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/ | 21:04 |
| quizme | looks pretty good | 21:04 |
| qman__ | that is accurate | 21:04 |
| qman__ | the thing about random guides on the internet is a lot of them tend to be wrong, but that one's just fine | 21:05 |
| quizme | what's "lo" | 21:05 |
| quizme | auto lo | 21:05 |
| qman__ | loopback | 21:05 |
| qman__ | you don't want to mess with that one | 21:06 |
| quizme | kk | 21:06 |
| qman__ | just eth0, or 1, or whatever your interface happens to be | 21:06 |
| quizme | that's 127.0.0.1 ? | 21:06 |
| quizme | lo i mean | 21:06 |
| qman__ | yes | 21:06 |
| quizme | eth0 | 21:06 |
| quizme | qman__ is it ok if i set it to 192.168.1.99 ? you said i should set it to something "outside my DHCP range on the router" | 21:07 |
| qman__ | while most things use 127.0.0.1 for loopback, strictly speaking, 127.x.x.x are all loopback addresses | 21:07 |
| quizme | not sure how to determin what the range is | 21:07 |
| qman__ | the router will say on the DHCP configuration page | 21:07 |
| qman__ | it will either be called DHCP range, or address pool, or something like that | 21:08 |
| quizme | kk | 21:08 |
| qman__ | and it will have a configuration box to let you choose what the minimum and maximum addresses are that it will hand out | 21:08 |
| qman__ | most routers are configured for a pool of 50 or 100 addresses | 21:08 |
| qman__ | you want to give yourself an address not in that range, so that the router will not attempt to hand it out to another computer | 21:09 |
| quizme | if i have NAT, do i need to do any of this? I thought NAT automatically maps requests to | 21:09 |
| quizme | to whatever it needs | 21:09 |
| qman__ | NAT is not related to address assignment | 21:09 |
| quizme | ok | 21:09 |
| qman__ | NAT needs your addresses to be assigned properly in order to work | 21:09 |
| quizme | it's for port mapping ? | 21:09 |
| qman__ | yes | 21:10 |
| quizme | ok | 21:10 |
| quizme | ok | 21:10 |
| quizme | hmm | 21:10 |
| quizme | it says a max of 245 users | 21:10 |
| quizme | and the address starts on 192.168.0.10 | 21:10 |
| quizme | so does that mean it's going to use 129.168.0.* ? | 21:11 |
| qman__ | so, either give yourself one below 10, or change those settings to give you more room | 21:11 |
| qman__ | it will use any address from 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.255 | 21:11 |
| quizme | ok | 21:11 |
| quizme | 255 is the max right? | 21:12 |
| qman__ | yes, actually, that's the broadcast | 21:12 |
| qman__ | 254 is the highest address | 21:12 |
| quizme | can i make it use like | 21:12 |
| quizme | 192.168.200.200 ? | 21:12 |
| qman__ | no, because you won't be in the same subnet | 21:13 |
| quizme | or does it have be 0 in the 2nd to last place ? | 21:13 |
| === rmk_ is now known as rmk | ||
| quizme | k | 21:13 |
| quizme | oh | 21:13 |
| qman__ | unless the router supports class B subnetting | 21:13 |
| qman__ | but most home routers don't, and I'm guessing it doesn't | 21:13 |
| quizme | subnet is determined by the 2nd to last one | 21:13 |
| quizme | it's a home router | 21:13 |
| quizme | kk | 21:13 |
| quizme | thanks | 21:13 |
| quizme | this stuff is cool | 21:13 |
| quizme | hope i can learn it well | 21:13 |
| qman__ | with that range, use 1-9 | 21:13 |
| qman__ | guessing the router is 1 | 21:13 |
| quizme | i'll use 9 | 21:13 |
| qman__ | so that leaves 2-9 | 21:14 |
| quizme | yeah | 21:14 |
| guntbert | qman__: not to interfere - but with NAT he should configure port forwarding on the router (I don't know if that is done already) | 21:14 |
| quizme | maybe i'll test it with the current one first | 21:14 |
| quizme | i'm on 12 | 21:14 |
| quizme | so i'll just use that first | 21:14 |
| quizme | then if it works i'll try changing it to 9 | 21:14 |
| quizme | guntbert yeah i'm assigning port forwarding | 21:15 |
| qman__ | the problem with setting it statically to 12 is that the router will attempt to give 12 out to another computer when it receives a request | 21:15 |
| guntbert | quizme: ok :-) | 21:15 |
| quizme | qman__ yeah right | 21:15 |
| quizme | qman__ just wanna test it first | 21:16 |
| qman__ | 9 will work just as well as 12, and in some cases, 9 will work, and 12 will not | 21:16 |
| qman__ | some routers are set up to not allow traffic from addresses within its pool when it hasn't leased them | 21:16 |
| quizme | ssh david@127.0.0.1 | 21:17 |
| quizme | ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 22: Connection refused | 21:17 |
| quizme | that should work shouldn't it ? | 21:17 |
| quizme | i mean if sshd is up ? | 21:17 |
| qman__ | yes | 21:18 |
| quizme | so i think that's my first problem i need to solve | 21:18 |
| qman__ | unless you're specifically blocking it with your firewall that way | 21:18 |
| quizme | qman__ i don't think so | 21:18 |
| quizme | qman__ maybe port 22 is blocked though... | 21:19 |
| qman__ | you would have to have created a rule to explicitly reject packets inbound (or outbound) from 127.0.0.1 or the lo interface on port 22 | 21:20 |
| qman__ | and reject, not drop | 21:20 |
| quizme | qman__ oh, i didn't do that | 21:20 |
| quizme | qman__ so sshd is probably not working? | 21:20 |
| quizme | everything is default | 21:20 |
| qman__ | yes, a better way to check is `sudo service ssh status` and `netstat | grep ssh` | 21:20 |
| quizme | unrecognized service | 21:21 |
| qman__ | then ssh is not installed | 21:22 |
| quizme | k | 21:22 |
| quizme | i got this... | 21:22 |
| quizme | thanks | 21:22 |
| quizme | sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client | 21:22 |
| quizme | thank God for apt-get | 21:23 |
| quizme | ssh start/running, process 3148 | 21:23 |
| quizme | this is cool | 21:24 |
| quizme | dude i logged in from my webserver | 21:24 |
| quizme | so cool.... | 21:24 |
| quizme | if (on my router) i change port start to 999 and port end to 22, then will i be able to ssh on port 999 ? it would be more secure that way right? | 21:26 |
| quizme | by obfuscating the port ? | 21:26 |
| quizme | regarding these instructions: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/ <--- does this mean i have to have bind installed and running ? | 21:28 |
| Akranis | Could work for some attacks, but for added protection you could use keypairs instead of cleartext passwords. | 21:28 |
| guntbert | quizme: a word of caution though -- if your ssh-server is open to the internet there will be a great lot of brute force attempts on it -- best way would be to create a ssh-key, take the "private key" with you (with a good pass phrase) and disable password based login altogether | 21:29 |
| quizme | hmm | 21:29 |
| quizme | yeah i could do that | 21:29 |
| guntbert | quizme: obfuscating the port will put only a very small hurdle in the way of a wannabe cracker | 21:30 |
| quizme | k | 21:30 |
| quizme | well it will put a big hurdle in front of people who scan ports no ? | 21:31 |
| Akranis | They're still going to find the port if they do a complete scan | 21:31 |
| quizme | k | 21:31 |
| Akranis | They're essentially knocking on every port until they find one that is open. So changing the number usualy only works on automated attacks looking specifiaclly for port 22 | 21:32 |
| quizme | what's a good value for $TERM ? | 21:34 |
| quizme | this is so cool | 21:36 |
| quizme | can't believe i never got around to doing this before | 21:36 |
| quizme | it's like having a free server | 21:36 |
| quizme | i could even set one of my domains to it | 21:37 |
| quizme | "gateway" is that my router? | 21:40 |
| quizme | qman__ pastebin.com/7nLf0FFF <-- does that look right for my case? (my router is on 192.168.0.1) | 21:43 |
| qman__ | quizme_, yes | 21:48 |
| quizme_ | qman__ cool thanks! | 21:50 |
| ryanluke | Hello all. I'm attempting to create a livecd like Je0S but based on Ubuntu 10.04 and with lampp pre installed. Does any one know the best way for me to do this? | 21:54 |
| ryanluke | I could use remastersys on 10.04 but this would mean having a 700mb iso which is overkill. I tried using remastersys on JeOS 8.04 but this does no longer work. | 21:56 |
| ryanluke | any one? | 21:58 |
| qman__ | ryanluke, I know that there are tools to create custom liveCDs and versions of ubuntu, but I don't know what they are or how to use them | 22:02 |
| qman__ | do you want a liveCD, or are you looking for a custom image for virtualization? | 22:03 |
| ryanluke | a livecd, I want to distribute a web application on a cd at a conference coming up, so was wanting to set everything up so the user could just pop it in their machine | 22:04 |
| qman__ | JeOS is probably the wrong choice then, since it removes lots of drivers and things that make ubuntu compatible | 22:05 |
| qman__ | it's more intended for virtualization | 22:05 |
| ryanluke | ah | 22:05 |
| ryanluke | I was looking at puppy linux but this has lots of other packages installed which I have no need for and there is no easy way to remove them | 22:05 |
| qman__ | there are lots of things you could strip out of an ubuntu CD, though | 22:06 |
| qman__ | the reason ubuntu CDs are the size they are is not that it installs all those packages, it just makes them available | 22:06 |
| ryanluke | I'm also currently looking at a tool for ubuntu called 'vmbuilder' but again, this only makes vm images rather than bootable iso's | 22:06 |
| qman__ | utilizing the size of CD media | 22:06 |
| ryanluke | I'm guessing there are probably guides out there on stripping ubuntu down, this may be a vaible solution | 22:07 |
| ryanluke | so, use ubuntu server, stripp out what I don't need, add what I do need then use remastersys | 22:08 |
| qman__ | I know there was a pretty neat tool for slackware to do this, but then you lose all the nice package management and default settings | 22:08 |
| ryanluke | yea, I would like to stick with ubuntu as its what im most used to and what users are probably most familiar with | 22:08 |
| qman__ | but yeah, the base ubuntu server install actually only takes about 350MB of the disc, the rest are just commonly used packages to make available offline | 22:09 |
| qman__ | and if you really need more space, some of the base installed packages can be removed safely too | 22:09 |
| ryanluke | awesome, I think I will take this route :) | 22:10 |
| ryanluke | been experimenting and looking for a solution since about 10am this morning, its now 10pm. hopefully this will be my last attempt :) | 22:11 |
| dominicdinada | Ugh I reinstalled (l) AMP and mod_rewrite is not enabled running the commandapache2ctl -l does not list mod_rewrite, i have looked for the correct way to re-enable mod rewrite and all i find are articles from 2006 and well they are useless and outdated. | 22:38 |
| dominicdinada | command: apache2ctl -l **** | 22:38 |
| sherr | dominicdinada: see : man a2enmod | 22:42 |
| === unreal_ is now known as unreal | ||
| dominicdinada | ok another question modwrite is now enabled but i get the error that it cannot determine the FQDN.... which is alright but it defaults the server to 127.0.1.1 WTF now 127.0.0.1 or the machine name ? how can i set it back to loopback instead of what it is defaulting to | 23:08 |
| ryanluke | dominicdinada: you never thanked the last guy who helped you | 23:12 |
| dominicdinada | Ugh i rebooted | 23:12 |
| dominicdinada | and actually running apache2ctl -l once again mod_rewrite is still not listed | 23:13 |
| === rmk_ is now known as rmk | ||
| dominicdinada | core.c mod_log_config.c mod_logio.c prefork.c http_core.c mod_so.c | 23:14 |
| ajmitch | dominicdinada: probably because apache2ctl -l doesn't list any dynamically loaded modules, but only compiled in modules | 23:21 |
| dominicdinada | ajmitch: ok so that still doesnt explain why i am getting a fqdn error all of a sudden of course i know what a fqdn is but why is it all of a sudden forcing a fqdn? | 23:25 |
| ajmitch | sigh, no patience | 23:29 |
| glick | excuse me does anyone know why when i start postfix i get the following error in the error file? | 23:31 |
| glick | fatal: open database /etc/postfix/recipient_access.db: Invalid argument | 23:31 |
| MrPhantastic | Hi, i'm wondering if anyone can help me, this is my first time install ubuntu, and after i burned the cd-image to a cd and loaded it up on my desktop. it went to the purple screen, and then ask me to select a language. But i'm unable to move to any other language or select the current one. | 23:34 |
| MrPhantastic | is anyone there? :( | 23:37 |
| YankDownUnder | Patience. | 23:38 |
| ryanluke | seems he didn't have enough lol | 23:46 |
| _Techie_ | what CLI app can i use to bactch convert mp3's to AAC? | 23:50 |
