nedheadWith Ubuntu Server 10.10 x86, when I connect (SFTP) it restricts me to my home directory. Where do I need to look to authorize me full control over /var/www? Thanks!08:01
WhiteStarEOFGot a head-scratcher here. I'm trying to get tftpd-hpa running as seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer here and in other places. The instructions seem to be the same, but it doesn't seem to work. It starts without issue, just trying to tftp anything times out. Nothing in the messages file. I even tried throwing gibberish in to /etc/default/tftpd-hpa, and it never complained on startup. Thoughts and opinions08:02
joschiWhiteStarEOF: what's the content of your /etc/default/tftpd-hpa? how do you run tftpd-hpa, standalone or via (x)inetd?08:17
WhiteStarEOFtftpd-hpa config file just has RUN_DAEMON="yes" and OPTIONS="-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot" like it says on the page. Also, /var/lib/tftpboot is where I dumped my files. I basically walked through that walkthrough using the defaults (worrying about customization later) until the "Install Apache" section as that seemed to be for added features.08:20
joschiWhiteStarEOF: check if /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d/tftp-hpa try to run tftp-hpa and check with lsof or netstat if the correct process is listening on the tftp port08:23
WhiteStarEOFLooks like I don't have an /etc/xinetd.d directory. When I do 'start tftpd-hpa' I do a 'netstat -a | grep tftpd' and it doesn't find anything.08:25
joschiWhiteStarEOF: is tftpd-hpa running at all?08:30
WhiteStarEOFNot that I can tell.08:31
WhiteStarEOFI get nothing out of netstat, nmap doesn't show port 69 as being open.08:32
airtonixWhiteStarEOF, for what its worth i don't understand why i should need to use xinetd, so i used atftp instead.08:32
KB1JWQWhiteStarEOF: You're aware that tftp is a UDP based protocol, right?08:32
joschiairtonix: tftpd-hpa can also run in standalone mode without (x)inetd08:33
WhiteStarEOFThat wasn't in my mind, but that does make sense.08:33
airtonixjoschi, well when i installed i expected to be able to use service tftpd-hpa stop|start|restart ...08:33
airtonixjoschi, but from my brief inspection (and according to setup docs if i want it to be a daemon then i need to install and setup YET another daemon)...08:34
airtonixatftp however...08:35
joschiairtonix: actually I run tftpd-hpa without (x)inetd08:35
airtonixjoschi, it didnt do what i wanted without stuffing around with another package so i removed it08:36
airtonixjoschi, installed atftp, and it did what i wanted right away08:36
uvirtbotNew bug: #669011 in bind9 (main) "package libisccc60 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: ne peut pas accéder à l'archive: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/66901108:36
WhiteStarEOFHuh. atftp worked. However it may be worth noting that I changed the path for tftp files from /srv/tftp to another location and despite multiple restarts, it insists on putting the files in /srv/tftp. In the end, however, I'm up and running.08:43

adacShouldnt that enable the iptables rule also on bootup: http://pastie.org/126188713:15
pmatulisadac: no14:43
adacpmatulis, In debian it does. ubuntu not. So i needed to add it to /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/14:44
pmatulisadac: no, that wouldn't make your rules permanent on debian either14:46
pmatulisadac: from the iptables-save man page: "dump iptables rules to stdout"14:46
adacpmatulis, hmm then I guess the howto was wrong, or i understood it wrong.14:47
adacor the guy who wrote it did forget about the fact that a restart does drop the rules14:47
adacsee: http://www.zoleet.com/index.php/basic-openvpn-server-ubuntu-and-debian-openvz14:48
pmatulisadac: i guess he used iptables-save just to prove that the rule was now in effect14:50
pmatulisadac: nowhere does he say this will bring back the rule upon bootup14:50
adacpmatulis,nope he doesn't. bu he should mention that i guess. I will write a comment14:50
adacall in all the howto is great, works perfect14:51

unknownworldsi've cloned my ubuntu installation with dd and startet them with kvm/qemu. i've changed the ips of the ubuntu clients and all works fine, but some programms crap the wrong default ip and dont start correctly.16:12
unknownworldsi've just changed the /etc/network config (all static). i dont think ubuntu caches any default ip elsewhere.16:13
unknownworldsso i restart the host, vnet interfaces, checked the routing and so on. all looks fine, but still the default ip is wrong in some programs16:14

peta_i'm faced with the decision to chose a os for my new root server. i must decide between Debian 5 and Ubuntu 10.10 server.  i'm using debian etch on my current one and it's pretty familiar to me. so my first intention was to chose debian 5. however, i wondered what advantages ubuntu 10.10 would offer that debian would not. what do you think?16:56

HazukiWhat would be stopping a software-RAID1 (mirroring, 2 x 500 GB disk) array from loading on boot? Machine is Poweredge T110 (Dell) server, version 10.04 LTS 64-bit20:04
k5673Hazuki: software RAID or hardware RAID?20:08
Hazukisoftware raid20:08
k5673Hazuki: try to boot from the other HDD. Last time, i got the same problem. And that just fixed it. But is not a normal behavior.20:09
HazukiI boot from a single disk, and the RAID array is for other things20:09
Hazukithere's a 320 GB drive with /boot, swap, /, and /home on it, and the RAID1 array is at /mnt/RAID (/dev/md0)20:10
Hazukiit just doesn't mount at bootup, but I can go in and manually mount it from gnome's disk tool20:11
k5673Hazuki: have you added the RAID volume in /etc/fstab?20:11
Hazukiyes20:11
k5673Hazuki: Do you see something unusual in dmesg? About the RAID?20:12
Hazukii can't check it now unfortunately ><20:13
k5673Hazuki: Any wrong option or something?20:13
k5673Hazuki:...20:13
k5673Hazuki:If the volume is in fstab, it can be a wrong option or something?20:13
k5673Hazuki:Why you can't see the dmesg output?20:14
Hazukibecause I'm nowhere near the machine and the boss isn;t in today20:14
k5673Hazuki: Do you have SSH access?20:15
Hazukisupposedly...i'm looking for the machine's external name now20:15
k5673Hazuki: So... use dmesg | more20:15
k5673Hazuki: you can use nmap, to search the machine on the network20:16
Hazukii'm not on the same network. i just need to remember where the boss said he hooked it up to20:17
k5673Hazuki: nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/24  .Replace the 192.168.0.0/24 with your actual network and netmask.20:17
dark-matterhello everyone20:21
dark-matterI came across a strange issue the other day with a new installation of ubuntu server 10.1020:22
dark-matterWhen the system boots, if you reboot it before finishes booting, then it will boot to the grub menu, even though I have grub configured for a timeout of 020:22
dark-matterAnyone have an idea of how to make it boot regardless?20:23
dark-matterI have a ubuntu server 9.04 server and it doesn't have the same issue20:23
dark-matteri assume it is something new with grub220:24

qman__mrroth, the way permissions work in linux, you do not add users and groups to files23:58
qman__each file has one owner and one group-owner23:58
qman__and read/write/execute is set for the owner, the group-owner, and everyone else23:59
