[08:01] <nedhead> With 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!
[08:02] <WhiteStarEOF> Got 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 opinions
[08:17] <joschi> WhiteStarEOF: what's the content of your /etc/default/tftpd-hpa? how do you run tftpd-hpa, standalone or via (x)inetd?
[08:20] <WhiteStarEOF> tftpd-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.
[08:23] <joschi> WhiteStarEOF: 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 port
[08:25] <WhiteStarEOF> Looks 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.
[08:30] <joschi> WhiteStarEOF: is tftpd-hpa running at all?
[08:31] <WhiteStarEOF> Not that I can tell.
[08:32] <WhiteStarEOF> I get nothing out of netstat, nmap doesn't show port 69 as being open.
[08:32] <airtonix> WhiteStarEOF, for what its worth i don't understand why i should need to use xinetd, so i used atftp instead.
[08:32] <KB1JWQ> WhiteStarEOF: You're aware that tftp is a UDP based protocol, right?
[08:33] <joschi> airtonix: tftpd-hpa can also run in standalone mode without (x)inetd
[08:33] <WhiteStarEOF> That wasn't in my mind, but that does make sense.
[08:33] <airtonix> joschi, well when i installed i expected to be able to use service tftpd-hpa stop|start|restart ...
[08:34] <airtonix> joschi, 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)...
[08:35] <airtonix> atftp however...
[08:35] <joschi> airtonix: actually I run tftpd-hpa without (x)inetd
[08:36] <airtonix> joschi, it didnt do what i wanted without stuffing around with another package so i removed it
[08:36] <airtonix> joschi, installed atftp, and it did what i wanted right away
[08:43] <WhiteStarEOF> Huh. 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.
[09:36] <nedhead_> Ubuntu Server 10.10 x86: How can I prevent Ubuntu from turning off my laptop's display while it's running?  (XWindows is not installed or running.)  Thanks!
[13:15] <adac> Shouldnt that enable the iptables rule also on bootup: http://pastie.org/1261887
[14:43] <pmatulis> adac: no
[14:44] <adac> pmatulis, In debian it does. ubuntu not. So i needed to add it to /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/
[14:46] <pmatulis> adac: no, that wouldn't make your rules permanent on debian either
[14:46] <pmatulis> adac: from the iptables-save man page: "dump iptables rules to stdout"
[14:47] <adac> pmatulis, hmm then I guess the howto was wrong, or i understood it wrong.
[14:47] <adac> or the guy who wrote it did forget about the fact that a restart does drop the rules
[14:48] <adac> see: http://www.zoleet.com/index.php/basic-openvpn-server-ubuntu-and-debian-openvz
[14:50] <pmatulis> adac: i guess he used iptables-save just to prove that the rule was now in effect
[14:50] <pmatulis> adac: nowhere does he say this will bring back the rule upon bootup
[14:50] <adac> pmatulis,nope he doesn't. bu he should mention that i guess. I will write a comment
[14:51] <adac> all in all the howto is great, works perfect
[14:51] <pmatulis> adac: ok
[14:55] <adac> ERROR: Could not read CAPTCHA token file.  hehe
[14:55] <adac> commenting is broken ;)
[16:12] <unknownworlds> i'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.
[16:13] <unknownworlds> i've just changed the /etc/network config (all static). i dont think ubuntu caches any default ip elsewhere.
[16:14] <unknownworlds> so i restart the host, vnet interfaces, checked the routing and so on. all looks fine, but still the default ip is wrong in some programs

[16:56] <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?
[17:07] <Patrickdk> root server?
[17:11] <ndroftheline> hello
[17:12] <ndroftheline> i'm trying to get ubuntu server installed but i simply can't get my laptop to boot the cd
[17:12] <ndroftheline> i've tried desktop, Server, and even Netbook. i think it's a failed CDrom
[17:12] <ndroftheline> the bios won't allow me to boot to usb
[17:12] <ndroftheline> any suggestions?
[17:13] <Patrickdk> put the cd on a usb stick?
[17:13] <ndroftheline> ndroftheline: the bios won't allow me to boot to usb
[17:14] <ndroftheline> besides it's only got usb 1.1 i believe lol
[17:14] <Patrickdk> so?
[17:14] <Patrickdk> net boot it via pxe?
[17:14] <ndroftheline> that'd be great, how do i do that
[17:14] <ndroftheline> the tutorials i've discovered online address similar things but not what i want
[17:15] <Patrickdk> find an example somewhere, it's not too hard, but there are lots of peices to the puzzle

[17:15] <Patrickdk> dhcp, tftp, pxe, ubuntu netboot files, ...
[17:15] <ndroftheline> righto.
[17:15] <ndroftheline> ok
[17:16] <ndroftheline> do you have any experience uisng preseed files in 10.10?
[17:16] <Patrickdk> na, I don't do preseed
[17:16] <Patrickdk> I just only do min installs
[17:17] <ndroftheline> #min-install
[17:17] <ndroftheline> hrm. what's that
[17:17] <Tommo> Hi guys - hopefully an easy question... does anyone know what user apache2 runs as on the 6.06 edition?  Thanks for any responses (I am doing a test install of moodle on a local server)
[17:21] <ndroftheline> what open-source disk imaging solution sholud i use to make a backup image on a secondary partition
[17:22] <Tommo> ndroftheline: try wikipedia 'dd unix'
[17:24] <ndroftheline> preferably something that won't take days to re-copy an image of several gigs, with compression and possibly a rudimentary gui?

[20:04] <Hazuki> What 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-bit
[20:08] <k5673> Hazuki: software RAID or hardware RAID?
[20:08] <Hazuki> software raid
[20:09] <k5673> Hazuki: 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] <Hazuki> I boot from a single disk, and the RAID array is for other things
[20:10] <Hazuki> there's a 320 GB drive with /boot, swap, /, and /home on it, and the RAID1 array is at /mnt/RAID (/dev/md0)
[20:11] <Hazuki> it just doesn't mount at bootup, but I can go in and manually mount it from gnome's disk tool
[20:11] <k5673> Hazuki: have you added the RAID volume in /etc/fstab?
[20:11] <Hazuki> yes
[20:12] <k5673> Hazuki: Do you see something unusual in dmesg? About the RAID?
[20:13] <Hazuki> i can't check it now unfortunately ><
[20:13] <k5673> Hazuki: Any wrong option or something?
[20:13] <k5673> Hazuki:...
[20:13] <k5673> Hazuki:If the volume is in fstab, it can be a wrong option or something?
[20:14] <k5673> Hazuki:Why you can't see the dmesg output?
[20:14] <Hazuki> because I'm nowhere near the machine and the boss isn;t in today
[20:15] <k5673> Hazuki: Do you have SSH access?
[20:15] <Hazuki> supposedly...i'm looking for the machine's external name now
[20:15] <k5673> Hazuki: So... use dmesg | more
[20:16] <k5673> Hazuki: you can use nmap, to search the machine on the network
[20:17] <Hazuki> i'm not on the same network. i just need to remember where the boss said he hooked it up to
[20:17] <k5673> Hazuki: nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/24  .Replace the 192.168.0.0/24 with your actual network and netmask.
[20:21] <dark-matter> hello everyone
[20:22] <dark-matter> I came across a strange issue the other day with a new installation of ubuntu server 10.10
[20:22] <dark-matter> When 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 0
[20:23] <dark-matter> Anyone have an idea of how to make it boot regardless?
[20:23] <dark-matter> I have a ubuntu server 9.04 server and it doesn't have the same issue
[20:24] <dark-matter> i assume it is something new with grub2
[23:20] <mrroth> hi what is a rtorrent webfrontend I can install via apt
[23:21] <k5673> !torrentflux > mrroth
[23:21] <mrroth> k
[23:21] <mrroth> it based on rotorrent
[23:22] <mrroth> cool
[23:29] <Aison> argh, since 10.10 i've got problems with nfs :(  i guess it's related to version 4
[23:53] <mrroth> hi
[23:53] <mrroth> so how do I add user www-data to /mnt/media/Downloads
[23:54] <mrroth> so torrentflux can access it
[23:54] <mrroth> anyidea
[23:58] <qman__> mrroth, the way permissions work in linux, you do not add users and groups to files
[23:58] <qman__> each file has one owner and one group-owner
[23:59] <qman__> and read/write/execute is set for the owner, the group-owner, and everyone else
[23:59] <qman__> to make it work, you can do one of several things
