[00:00] <allquixotic> is that a bug? the /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin script was rewritten to use upstart, but upstart doesn't honor settings in /etc/default/libvirt-bin
[00:01] <Raymond> hi
[00:01] <Raymond> Can someone help me with freenx?
[00:02] <allquixotic> answered my own question: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/557054
[00:02] <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.
[00:03] <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.
[00:05] <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.
[00:06] <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.
[00:07] <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
[00:08] <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
[00:09] <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
[00:10] <Raymond> withour GUI how would I install this..
[00:10] <Raymond> http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html
[00:11] <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.
[00:12] <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.
[00:13] <Raymond> ah ic
[00:34] <Raymond> not enough ram
[00:34] <Raymond> 256MB
[00:34] <Raymond> :P
[01:14] <benedikt> should formatting a (virtual) disk in a virtual guest be much slower then formatting a physical disk on a physical hardware?
[01:15] <benedikt> after 1,5 hours im only up to inode 279/2735
[01:27] <amstan> hello, what's the correct way of making sure an ip does not connect to a server?
[01:28] <amstan> i added ALL:66.128.88.110 in hosts.deny
[01:28] <amstan> somehow it didn't work
[01:28] <benedikt> iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s 66.128.88.110/32 -j DROP
[01:29] <amstan> is that persistent?
[01:29] <amstan> i would like it to be
[01:29] <benedikt> if you save the rules yes
[01:29] <amstan> how do i save the rules
[01:29] <benedikt> iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules
[01:30] <benedikt> and then put this line in /etc/network/interfaces under your network interface
[01:30] <benedikt> pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules
[01:30] <amstan> ok, done
[01:31] <amstan> now.. why didn't the hosts.deny work?
[01:31] <benedikt> not sure. have you read the man page?
[02:10] <echosystm> i dont understand all this "cloud" stuff
[02:11] <echosystm> the whole point of the "cloud" term is that you just throw thigns out there and it just works
[02:11] <echosystm> programming against some api for scalability is hardly "cloud"
[02:11] <echosystm> am i missing something?
[03:12] <Big_Brother> Is wireless hard to do on ubuntu server?
[04:28] <jetsaredim> stupid question: when the menu comes up for grub-pc configuration, I just choose the actual disk that root is on, not the partition
[04:28] <jetsaredim> right?
[04:39] <pmatulis> jetsaredim: right
[04:40] <jetsaredim> pmatulis: kthx
[04:41] <jetsaredim> just finally getting around to upgrading my file server from 9.10 to 10.04
[04:41] <jetsaredim> just in time to start thinking about 10.10 :)
[04:54] <jetsaredim> my raid doesn't seem to be coming back up after upgrading
[04:54] <jetsaredim> any ideas as to how to get md0 setup again?
[04:56] <jetsaredim> looks like lvm2 either didn't get updated or something
[04:56] <jetsaredim> either way its not installed
[04:56] <jetsaredim> anyone have some suggestions as to how to get this back up and running?
[05:05] <jetsaredim> nm - just had to mdadm -A and set it up manually
[07:03] <hmmmm> hi, is there a foss alternative to deep freeze?
[07:03] <hmmmm> i am considering a ubuntu pc lab
[07:08] <lifeless> 'deep freeze'?
[07:32] <robertpayne> any way to install htpasswd w/o installing full apache stack?
[07:41] <talcite> hmmmmm: yeah, you can mount the root fs ro
[08:13] <qman__> hmmmmm, what many people do is set up a netboot system, with an LTSP server and diskless clients
[08:14] <qman__> when the computer reboots, all data is lost
[08:14] <qman__> and the fresh image is loaded again from the server
[08:14] <qman__> the downside to this approach is that it requires a good network, gigabit preferable, and a fairly quick server to distribute the images
[08:16] <kuttan_> hi
[08:18] <kuttan_> how can insmod certain kernel modules , at system startup time .. much prior to rc.local
[08:21] <sherr> kuttan_: see /etc/modules
[08:22] <kuttan_> sherr: I did put a module there, but it doesn't get loaded. But from command line its works
[08:54] <roach> can someone please help me with the ldap configuration
[09:02] <roach> help?
[09:10] <joschi> roach: try following the openldpa chapter in the ubuntu server guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html
[09:48] <arvind_khadri> hi, I am running opennms on ubuntu 10.04. I am unable to see the map, i have installed the necessary plugin, I can see the Italia map, but not my own network map.
[11:12] <alex88> i've to install libcupsys2 that's required by a deb that i have to install..it's provided virtually by libcups2, how can i say dpkg that it has to install libcups2?
[11:12] <alex88> instead of searching for libcupsys2?
[12:42] <YankDownUnder> alex88, Are you trying to install a Canon printer...???
[13:05] <alex88> YankDownUnder: it was support for italian channel
[13:05] <alex88> i told to use the --ignore-dependences
[13:05] <alex88> but it isn't the right way to do it
[13:06] <alex88> YankDownUnder: so i've searched how to tell dpkg that libcupsys2 is given by libcups2
[13:20] <YankDownUnder> alex88, I've had the issue with a few Canon drivers - there's a few roll-your-own ways of dealing with it - for Karmic and Lucid - but they're iffy at best...not any truly good results...
[13:23] <alex88> YankDownUnder: ok...btw, he has installed and printed fine...
[15:07] <benedikt> should formatting a (virtual) disk in a virtual guest be much slower then formatting a physical disk on a physical hardware ?
[15:07] <benedikt> ive been going for over 12 hours and im up to inode 2388/2735
[15:08] <jo-erlend> no, that doesn't sound right at all.
[15:09] <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
[15:10] <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
[15:11] <giovani_> anything in the logs on both machines?
[15:11] <giovani_> dmesg, /var/log/all, etc
[15:11] <giovani_> i.e. low-level errors from the SATA controllers
[15:12] <benedikt> dmesg on the host has some kernel messages that could be relevant
[15:12] <giovani_> pastebin them
[15:12] <benedikt> shame it lacks time
[15:13] <benedikt> i am
[15:13] <benedikt> http://pastebin.ca/1922660
[15:14] <benedikt> messages is clean
[15:15] <giovani_> the output it cut off in what you pasted
[15:15] <giovani_> any more stack traces?
[15:15] <giovani_> the rest of it doesn't matter
[15:15] <benedikt> dmesg on the guest: http://pastebin.ca/1922662
[15:15] <benedikt> yes, the same thing repeated
[15:16] <benedikt> wait, ill post it al
[15:16] <giovani_> I mean, this looks like a scheduling bug
[15:16] <giovani_> are you up to date with all kernels, and packages?
[15:16] <benedikt> yup
[15:17] <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] <benedikt> host is using -server (x86_64) and the guest is -generic(x86)
[15:18] <giovani_> both are 10.04?
[15:18] <benedikt> 2.6.32-24-generic-pae on the guest to be excat
[15:18] <benedikt> yup
[15:19] <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?
[15:20] <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
[15:24] <djkrikke> ok, very funny, the mime module did the trick
[15:36] <djkrikke> how is it possible that mime loads the php handlers?
[15:40] <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
[15:41] <djkrikke> nobody an idea?
[17:22] <jeiworth_> hi all, having problems setting up a raid1 on a running server, i am following this howto: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-software-raid1-on-a-running-system-incl-grub2-configuration-ubuntu-10.04-p2 <-- but it keeps dropping me to a initramfs shell stating that there are no raid devices
[17:26] <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
[17:30] <jeiworth_> hmm kk thanks, will do a search for it
[17:32] <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] <jeiworth_> although i already tried using both
[17:32] <jeiworth_> and with the same result
[18:19] <corecode> hey
[18:20] <corecode> my mdadm raid1 does not attach automatically at boot - any idea where i can set this up explicitly?
[18:20] <corecode> i'm searching for the place to run mdadm, before cryptdisks is run
[18:27] <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] <alvin> corecode: see bug 27037, bug 599135 and some others
[18:28] <alvin> Akranis: Maybe the cd is corrupt. You can do a media check from the cd itself
[18:30] <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
[18:31] <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?
[18:32] <alvin> Everything happens at once nowadays. Lucid broke auto-assembly. I have to give the command after boot.
[18:33] <corecode> same here
[18:33] <corecode> i'd like to just run it automatically during boot
[18:33] <corecode> before cryptsetup
[18:34] <alvin> I don't use crypt. mdadm + lvm is enough trouble as it is
[18:35] <corecode> yea :/
[18:36] <corecode> still, who runs mdadm
[18:36] <corecode> or, how do i run it before the first consumer tries to mount it
[19:15] <Akranis> I tried changing the jumper and I still seem to get the same prompt to insert the cd. When I check the syslog, I got four lines of ": skipping nonexistant file"
[19:18] <Akranis> the files in question are the /cdrom/dists/*/*/*/binary-i386/packages
[19:18] <Akranis> But when I checked the cd for fault, it didn't give me any error
[19:59] <Akranis> I reburned the disc at a slower speed after reading a forum topic, seems to have fixed my problem.
[20:00] <Akranis> Still a bit weird since the first CD checked out fine. But oh well.
[20:42] <quizme> hi
[20:42] <quizme> i'm about to leave the country and want to be able to ssh into my home computer
[20:42] <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?
[20:43] <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
[20:44] <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
[20:45] <zash> quizme: You don't need cat
[20:46] <zash> fyi ;)
[20:49] <quizme> zash oh hehe thanks
[20:50] <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?
[20:51] <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
[20:52] <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.
[20:53] <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 ?
[20:54] <zash> quizme: in your router config
[20:54] <quizme> zash: okay i'll try
[20:55] <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
[20:56] <quizme> zash it might happen... cuz i'm going to be traveling.  my dad might turn off my computer for a couple weeks
[20:57] <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.
[20:58] <qman__> depends on the router, newer ones tend to give you the same address, but not always
[20:58] <qman__> but as long as the computer is on, it will keep renewing the one it has
[20:58] <quizme> qman__ thnx
[20:58] <quizme> qman__ i'm using a motorola sbg900
[20:59] <guntbert> quizme: why don't you assign a fixed IP address to your computer?
[20:59] <qman__> if you do, make sure you pick one outside the DHCP range on the router
[21:00] <quizme> guntbert: i'd like to: how do i do that?
[21:00] <guntbert> !serverguide | quizme
[21:00] <quizme> guntbert: thanks
[21:02] <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
[21:04] <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
[21:05] <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
[21:06] <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
[21:07] <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
[21:08] <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
[21:09] <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 ?
[21:10] <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
[21:11] <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
[21:12] <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 ?
[21:13] <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] <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
[21:14] <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
[21:15] <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
[21:16] <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
[21:17] <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 ?
[21:18] <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
[21:19] <quizme> qman__ maybe port 22 is blocked though...
[21:20] <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`
[21:21] <quizme> unrecognized service
[21:22] <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
[21:23] <quizme> thank God for apt-get
[21:23] <quizme> ssh start/running, process 3148
[21:24] <quizme> this is cool
[21:24] <quizme> dude i logged in from my webserver
[21:24] <quizme> so cool....
[21:26] <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 ?
[21:28] <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.
[21:29] <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
[21:30] <guntbert> quizme: obfuscating the port will put only a very small hurdle in the way of a wannabe cracker
[21:30] <quizme> k
[21:31] <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
[21:32] <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
[21:34] <quizme> what's a good value for $TERM ?
[21:36] <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
[21:37] <quizme> i could even set one of my domains to it
[21:40] <quizme> "gateway" is that my router?
[21:43] <quizme> qman__ pastebin.com/7nLf0FFF  <-- does that look right for my case?  (my router is on 192.168.0.1)
[21:48] <qman__> quizme_, yes
[21:50] <quizme_> qman__ cool thanks!
[21:54] <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?
[21:56] <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.
[21:58] <ryanluke> any one?
[22:02] <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
[22:03] <qman__> do you want a liveCD, or are you looking for a custom image for virtualization?
[22:04] <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
[22:05] <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
[22:06] <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
[22:07] <ryanluke> I'm guessing there are probably guides out there on stripping ubuntu down, this may be a vaible solution
[22:08] <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
[22:09] <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
[22:10] <ryanluke> awesome, I think I will take this route :)
[22:11] <ryanluke> been experimenting and looking for a solution since about 10am this morning, its now 10pm. hopefully this will be my last attempt :)
[22:38] <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      ****
[22:42] <sherr> dominicdinada: see : man a2enmod
[23:08] <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
[23:12] <ryanluke> dominicdinada: you never thanked the last guy who helped you
[23:12] <dominicdinada> Ugh i rebooted
[23:13] <dominicdinada> and actually running apache2ctl -l once again mod_rewrite is still not listed
[23:14] <dominicdinada>   core.c  mod_log_config.c  mod_logio.c  prefork.c  http_core.c  mod_so.c
[23:21] <ajmitch> dominicdinada: probably because apache2ctl -l doesn't list any dynamically loaded modules, but only compiled in modules
[23:25] <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?
[23:29] <ajmitch> sigh, no patience
[23:31] <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
[23:34] <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.
[23:37] <MrPhantastic> is anyone there? :(
[23:38] <YankDownUnder> Patience.
[23:46] <ryanluke> seems he didn't have enough lol
[23:50] <_Techie_> what CLI app can i use to bactch convert mp3's to AAC?
