RazicanIs there a solution?00:25
RazicanHello, I have a problem with Wake On Lan in Ubuntu Server 10.04. When I shutdown the computer, it doesn't keep the interfaces on. In ethtool it says wake-on: g00:25
qman__Razican, I don't know about the ubuntu side of it, but you have to enable said feature in the BIOS first00:26
qman__if the BIOS does not support wake on LAN, you will not be able to shut down, only sleep to RAM00:27
qman__though pretty much anything 2002 or newer should support it00:28
RazicanI have in BIOS ACPI shutdown: S3 | S5: enabled | Wake on LAN: enabled00:29

LowValueTargetis this proper cron syntax ( the minutes designation ).... i know it can be done easier, just trying to solve an argument00:58

JasonMSP1as a sudoer how do I ssh-keygen and output that for a different user?00:59
LowValueTargetJasonMSP1: you'll want to `su - username` then run it01:00
JasonMSP1ah!  thx!01:00
LowValueTargetthen you can type exit to un-su01:00
JasonMSP1wait what if the user doesn't have sudo?01:00
=== _TechAway_ is now known as _Techie_
LowValueTargetyou are user1.... you are in the sudoers file..... you want to generate user2's ssh-keys01:02
LowValueTargetsu - && su - user2 && ssh-keygen && exit && exit01:03
JasonMSP1ok thanks!01:03
LowValueTargetThat will sudo you to root01:03
LowValueTargetthen you sudo to the other user01:03
LowValueTargetcreate their keys as if you were them01:03
LowValueTargetyou could use sudo too01:03
LowValueTargeti just always work as root01:03
JanCyou could just sudo to the other user, of course...01:05
JanC(and su doesn't work by default)01:06
LowValueTargetJanC: knows more than me ;)01:07
JasonMSP1how bout sudo -i?01:07

LowValueTargetIs that minute designation correct?01:08
LowValueTargeti know you can specify */501:08
LowValueTargetbut otherwise, is that correct?01:08
JasonMSP1su - user2 says, "this account is currently not available"  Is it because shell is set /usr/sbin/nologin???01:09
JanCJasonMSP1: sudo -i runs the default shell for that user, so if there isn't a real shell available...  ;)01:10
JasonMSP1sudo -i works to get me to root.  su - user2 is coming up account not available.01:11
JanCJasonMSP1: try "sudo -i -u <user> -s /bin/bash" or "sudo -i -u <user> ssh-keygen" or some such (or just create a key and copy it over and set the ownership & permissions correctly)01:16

maddhat1Hi all, i have 3 hard drives (shared through SMB) but id like to create just one share and have the files show up in one master list. is there a way to do this?  i was thinking symlinks but wasnt sure how to get it to update when files are added/deleted from one of the drives02:50
qman__maddhat, symlinks are by their very definition dynamic03:03
qman__and therefore always up to date03:04
qman__you will, however, need to enable wide links in samba on that share03:04
qman__which, if the share is writable, is a security risk03:04
qman__if that's a problem, you can mount them within a shared directory instead03:06

loganlhphello, does anyone know how to find my machine's INTERNET IP address under ubuntu server? the kind of result you would get going to www.whatismyip.com,08:36
loganlhpanyone?08:37
joschiloganlhp: wget -qO - http://icanhazip.com/08:38
joschiloganlhp: or just visit www.whatsmyip.com with wget/curl/...08:38
loganlhphmm...its showing the same exact address my macbook is showing doing it on that..is that normal?08:39
joschiloganlhp: or `dig +short @208.67.222.222 myip.opendns.com`08:39
joschiloganlhp: if you have the same public ip address, sure08:40
joschiloganlhp: ie. use the same dialup account through a router08:40
loganlhpok, so if i wanted to use that address for dyndns.com it would work?08:41
joschiloganlhp: depends on what you want to achieve.08:41
joschiloganlhp: that's your public ip address, so if you wanted to know that, it'll work08:41
loganlhpweb serving..from home without having to go through static ip08:41
joschibut you could simply use a dyndns client which will automatically update your settings08:42
joschino need to do that manually08:42
loganlhpim still required to signup through dyndns though, correct?08:43
joschiyes08:45
loganlhpok i got my dyndns account and ddclient running, however when i access my dyndns url in a browser, it gets the default index.html page from my mac and not my ubuntu server..how do i get it to point only to the server and not any other device on using the same public ip address on my network?08:56
yaboo_trying to rebuild my raid array getting the message no superblock, how do I overcome this???08:58
joschiloganlhp: configure port forwarding on your router09:07

scar__my server rebooted a few hours ago, I did not tell it to do so, when I checked "last -d reboot" it shows "reboot   system boot  0.0.0.0          Sun Sep  5..." how do I find out what caused it to reboot?10:57
PupenoI can run the program bundler as pupeno, and as root, but when I do sudo bundler I get command not found. Any ideas why?11:16
joschiPupeno: wrong $PATH when running `sudo`. try using the complete path to `bundler`11:26
Pupenojoschi: I cannot modify the command line.11:26
joschiPupeno: the modify $PATH for the user you try to run bundler with (probably root?)11:27
Pupenojoschi: well, as I said, the path was correct for both my user and root, I can run bundler as both, just not using sudo. This works: sudo -i  and then bundler11:28
joschiPupeno: does the message say `bundler` not found or does bundler call an executable which can't be found.11:29
PupenoIt says:  bundler: command not found11:31
joschiPupeno: what's the output of `which bundler` and `sudo which bundler`11:32
Pupenojoschi: at the moment I'm reinstalling it... just a second.11:33

RoyKscar__: check the logs11:46
RoyKscar__: /var/log/messages is a good start11:46
scar__will do thanks11:48
=== _Techie_ is now known as _TechAway_
scar__looks like someone has been trying to hack me through ebox11:53
scar__not entirely sure, could also be ebox itself going crazy. I'll firewall it for now and see how it goes11:55
RoyKscar__: can you pastebin some of the logs?12:10
RoyKif someone has tried to get in there - run chkrootkit on it to see if that finds anything - download it from http://www.chkrootkit.org/ directly instead of using apt-get in case that's been tampered with12:11
scar__ran krhunter right after reboot12:14
scar__it didn't find anything :)12:14
RoyKtry chkrootkit, fresh install12:16
RoyKrkhunter may have been tampered with....12:16
* RoyK is just paranoid, but paranoia can help sometimes12:17
scar__yeah rather safe...12:17
scar__at lest the box is here it home, though it's only been running for a few days publicly and it's already being tested12:18
RoyKthis lists a few tools :) http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-check-linux-rootkist-with-detectors-software/12:18
scar__sshd[833]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=184-106-198-140.static.cloud-ips.com  user=root12:19
scar__got a few of those lines, seems it's time to disable text logins12:19
RoyKjust install fail2ban or denyhosts12:20
RoyKboth scans logs to stop intruders12:21
RoyKfail2ban can use iptables or hosts.deny and can be configured to scan for intrusion on other services than ssh, whereas AFAIK denyhosts only (currently) work for ssh, but then, it can use a distributed list of denied hosts12:22
RoyKdenyhosts uses hosts.deny12:22
RoyKsshd reads that12:23
scar__I'll try the denyhosts think that was the simple one12:24
RoyKthey're both quite simple to setup12:24
RoyKjust remember to enable synchronisation with denyhosts - it's disabled by default12:25
scar__I'll also monitor the connections via the firewall, it should be really easy since there's only 2 people using this box12:27
RoyKstill, that's manual work - fail2ban/denyhosts will work automatically, and ssh attacks rarely succeed in the first few attempts unless you have bogus passwords12:29
scar__awesome thanks RoyK, denyhosts is already doing it's job :) by the way the reason why I'm putting rules in place on the firewall is to check if my server tries to send out spam or tries to attack other hosts12:46
RoyKscar__: nice12:52
RoyKscar__: you might want to change denyhosts' settings - it normally bans IPs for some days, whereas the defaults in fail2ban is an hour or so. A ban for days may be bad if something goes wrong somewhere12:53
scar__I'll maybe set the ban longer, since there's always someone close to the box. If push comes to shove, I've got static ips at work that I can add to hosts.allow.13:00
scar__made sure that allow has higher priority than deny, so it's all good :)13:02

oxime too - I have no idea what's going on17:32
bjaanesHey, i was wondering: I got my DHCP/DNS server going now with ddns-update (updating the DNS every time i give out a lease). But now that I have reserved an IP in the DHCP - why won't it update the DNS with that info? Is that something i have to do manually, or can it be done with some configuration?17:36
oxiSpaceBass: I rebooted the server and it worked!18:21
SpaceBassoh wow!18:22
SpaceBassthats great news oxi18:22
SpaceBasswonder what changed?18:22
oxiit seems that there was an old iptables rule present which kept it from working18:22
oxithat rule was probably present from previous tries18:22
oxiI prabably had a typo and therefore routed ougoing traffic with the wrong rewrite18:23
oxiI assumed that when I enter a iptables rule again it would overreide18:24
oxiI guess it ne18:24
oxiver overr18:24
oxieide18:24
oxiI guess it never overrided18:24
oxihow do I list all present iptables rules?18:24
oxiSpaceBass: what's your paypal account? :-)18:25
SpaceBassoxi, glad it is working!18:25
SpaceBassI know how fustrating VPN issues can be!18:25
oxiyeah, I was tapping in myany wrong directions - it just seems that I was uncareful somewhere, but the configuration was fine18:26
oxiit had nothing to do with the client :-)18:26
oxiand I debugged the client for hours .-)18:27

ubottuMrUrbanity: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode18:49
MrUrbanityah ok.. well too late, i ripped gdm, xserver-xorg out via aptitude and rebooted, all works as I expected.18:59
Patrickdkall you have to do is a apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop :)19:15
Patrickdkor maybe even an: apt-get remove .*-desktop19:16
MrUrbanityno that didnt do it all, i did that first.  Must of been a while since I messed with this because 10.04 has some weird stuff going on.  I was update-rc.d -f gdm remove and it was still booting.  had to try and read about the new startup stuff but not a lot on it around.19:19
MrUrbanityeventual had to do ubuntu-desktop, gdm and xserver-xorg to get all the junk to stop from starting..19:19
Patrickdkwell, that marks them all as unneeded19:20
Patrickdkthen a apt-get autoremove will clean them up19:20
MrUrbanityah ok.19:20
Patrickdkunless you marked something for forced install19:20
MrUrbanitynah, pretty much a default fresh instlal.. just didnt have a server disk handy.19:20
Patrickdkthen you would have to do a forced uninstall19:20
PatrickdkI install everything as a generic, barebone install19:21
Patrickdkthen install ubuntu-desktop, or server stuff19:21
MrUrbanityyeah I should have too but it is a low PC and it took about 15 minutes just to get to the install screen.19:21
MrUrbanityslow.19:21
Patrickdkthat is cause you used desktop :)19:21
MrUrbanitylol.. yep.19:21
Patrickdkthe netbook/minimalcd/servercd is much much faster19:21
Patrickdknetbook/network :)19:22
MrUrbanityyeah.. last time i did this (ie used the wrong disk) was a while back and i could just swap between them.. but that has been removed.19:22
MrUrbanityi had a 8.10 server disk sitting there.. might have been faster to use that and upgrade. lol19:23
PupenoI have this content http://gist.github.com/566218 in /etc/cron.d/projectx and it seems it's not being run. Any ideas how to find out why?19:29

silentwater77_Hello there, is anyone willing to help me with my problem with not loading daemons after reboot?22:11
RudyValenciaWhat's the easiest way to back up everything on an internal drive mounted at /srv to an external USB hard drive mounted at /media/backup ?22:13
stgraberRudyValencia: "sudo rsync --delete -avP /srv/ /media/backup/" that's going to copy everything that's in /srv and not in /media/backup and remove anything that's in /media/backup and not /srv (so they are going to be exact copies with anything that was only in /media/backup being removed)22:15
RudyValenciaAh.22:15
RudyValenciaCan I cron that?22:15
stgrabersure22:15
RudyValencia(add it to crontab as a root job done every... maybe 48 hours?)22:15
stgraberyep, you should then trop the -v so it won't show you progress information (not so useful when runnning from cron)22:16
RudyValencia...and also got to do something about automounting the USB drive.22:16
