owhI've just had a router decide for itself that when I told it that all traffic from a particular host needed to go to a particular WAN port, I was just kidding. Is there a way that I can force my server to cease sending traffic if it's going out via the wrong link?00:50

lateniteHi folks, Is there a way to istall ubuntu FROM a running ubuntu? I cant shut the system down to boot a love cd. What I miss on my runng system is the wellknow "install" button on the desktop!01:13
claydare you currently running from a live cd, or and installed system?01:16
latenitean installed system. If it was a live CD i had the install button...can I install from my system too?01:18
claydthe reason i ask that is you question isn't very clear.  what are you trying to install?  A complete reinstall of the OS, or just a portion.  Also this channel is for ubuntu-server and generally there is not a GUI instlalled.01:20
ChmEarllatenite, do a parallel install into another partition using debootstrap (while in primary OS), then finish the new install via chroot01:24
dj-ineedateamHello01:30
lateniteChmEarl, ahh ok..cool thanks..that sjust like debian01:31
lateniteok01:31
ChmEarllatenite, the debootstrap in lucid supports all Ubuntu and Debian01:39
ScottKFor later Ubuntu releases you'll need one from lucid-backports, IIRC.01:40
ChmEarllatenite, dpkg -L debootstrap -> ./scripts/maverick squeeze lenny lucid etc01:44

SirFiChii have problems to install ubuntu server 10.10 on a hp proliant ml370 server. if i use the amd_64bit cd, the installation stops, because i must use the x86 install-medium, and if i use the x86_32bit cd, it stops while the formating of the raid 5...08:43
SirFiChiany hints how to get ubuntu 10.10 to work...08:43
kinygoshi...my ubuntu server is remote, i can only get to it by ssh...i'm trying to add /dev/null to the list of shells so i can assign it to nobody, but i'm getting permission denied...what am i doing wrong?08:55
kinygosi'm getting permission denied for $ sudo echo "/dev/null" >> /etc/shells08:55
dubphilHi all09:01
jpdskinygos: sudo -i; and then echo09:06
jpdskinygos: Or: echo "/dev/null" | sudo tee -a /etc/shells09:06
twbThat's probably not a good idea; use /bin/false instead09:07
twbOr simply lock the account09:07
kinygosjpds: i managed to edit the file with nano...i must have done something peculiar09:07
twbnobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/bin/sh09:08
twbThe "x" means locked09:08
kinygostwb: i read somewhere that using /dev/null would mean that an attacker couldn't be sure if a user account existed on the server, whereas they would with /bin/fals09:08
jpdskinygos: The shell treats the redirection (">>") as your local user, not sudo; hence the permission denied.09:08
twbMaybe you should investigate that before actioning it09:09
kinygosjpds: awesome, thank you very much...i thought i was making a mistake09:09
kinygostwb: you're absolutely right...i was trying to understand why my /var/log/auth.log was filling up with  pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)09:10
twbkinygos: uh, those are caused by cron.09:10
twbNothing you do to the nobody account will affect those log entries09:10
kinygostwb: and came across a few different places where it was recommended that the shell for the nobody account be set to /dev/null "as a precaution"09:10
kinygostwb: indeed...i hadn't yet got to figure out what that line was about yet....i know it's cron but that's as far as i got before being sidetracked09:11
twbkinygos: that suggestion might date back to the days of identd and rsh -- I don't know09:11
=== SirFiChi is now known as ihCiFriS
twbvixie cron's /etc/crontab takes a target user (to run each job as).  The cron.hourly/daily/monthly jobs run as root, which is why pam_unix reports cron opening a session from root to root.09:12
kinygostwb: indeed...one article was from 200709:12
kinygostwb: so it's normal behaviour?09:13
twbthe crontab logs are, yes09:13
twbI've never seen /dev/null used as a login shell on a modern system09:13
kinygosok, so going to your earlier point, i didn't need to change it's login shell because it was locked....09:15
kinygos(it being the nobody account)09:15
twbI suppose it might depend on the pam implementation and suchlike09:16
twbOr if you e.g. told sshd not to use pam, and it was reading shadow(5) directly09:16
kinygostwb: awesome, thank you very much for your time and help09:19
twbWell, I *am* a genius.09:19

JenniferB2hi folks.. I want a script to run on login.. but not for all logins.. only for a user. i have created a script in /etc/profile.d/Startup.sh ... but this seems as if it's run from everywhere.. i want it to run only for one user14:27
henkjanyann2: i've upgraded to a newer kernel14:28
yann2henkjan, because the bios upgrade didnt fix it?14:29
yann2I cant upgrade, its my zimbra server, only supported on 8.4 :/14:29
henkjan2.6.32-020632-generic from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/14:29
henkjanyann2: only installing a newer kernel won't break your zimbra install14:30
yann2ah so you didnt upgrade completely, still using 8.414:30
yann2so you've been using that kernel for a while and it works fine on that server?14:30
yann2wait you put a 2.6.32 on hardy? mmmh14:32
yann2are you confident that's safe?14:35
yann2I see you're in the ubuntu server group, but still it seems like a risky thing to do on a mail server :x14:36
henkjanyann2: no risk at al14:41
henkjaninstall the .deb from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/14:41
yann2I ll see with zimbra team if they wouldnt drop my support14:42
yann2thanks14:42
henkjanand you can stil boot your old 2.6.24 kernel14:42
yann2true, just afraid to lose my support if I dont run a vanilla14:44
yann2then I dont have to tell them and can go back if I have additional issues14:44

dubphilhow we deal with this files in /etc/init ?15:04

yann2the community page sends you to page on the samba wiki, to pages on the kerberos wiki, then its divided into 3 pages...16:01

kinygosScottK: i am...it's a remote server, doing this over SSH16:12
elb0wkinygos, I think he means does that remote server have internet acess16:12

jpdskinygos: Hi.16:15
kinygosjpds: hi :)16:16
jpdskinygos: Please run: sudo apt-get update16:16
kinygosshould i do that on an LTS server?16:16
jpdsYes, it just updates the package listings.16:16
jpdsYours seem to be out-of-date, hence the 404 errors.16:16
kinygosok, to be sure i understand what i'm doing before i do it...sudo apt-get update just updates the package index so that when i try and install a new package, apt-get can find the 10.04LTS version...it won't upgrade any packages...is this correct?16:19
jpdsapt-get update - will not upgrade your packages installed.16:19
hggdhsmoser: done, the server team is subscribed16:20
ScottKkinygos: That's correct, but you ought to install any updated packages that are available as all that is put into the repository are security changes and important bug fixes.16:21
ScottKUpgrading to a newer release is done an entirely different way16:21
kinygosthat seems to have worked a treat...is that normal workflow?  if install fails due to 404s, update index and try again?  i installed fail2ban yesterday using apt-get16:21
kinygosi didn't get any errors yesterday16:21
PiciAgreed, thats the main 'feature' of an LTS release, package upgrades (mostly security related)for 5 years.16:21
Picikinygos: Perhaps there were no upgrades for fail2ban that would have required a new package index to be grabbed.16:22
ScottKkinygos: A standard server install will, IIRC, update it's package index once per day.16:22
ScottKYou do want to install the available updates.16:23
kinygosScottK: how do i get security changes and important bug-fixes for stuff i've installed already?  (that's not described in the apt-get.html doc i'm reading on ubuntu.com)16:23
PiciI find it handy to install  apt-listchanges so that you know exactly what fixes are going to be applied.16:24
ScottKkinygos: sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade if new packages are needed (don't let the name scare you)16:24
Pici!dist-upgrade16:24
ubottuA dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu.16:24
kinygosScottK, Pici: awesome, thank you both very much for your time...i'll investigate further :)16:24

RoyKhdon: ctrl+arrowkeys?19:14
hdonRoyK, yeah, like ^[[1;5D for Control+Left19:14
RoyKAFAIK that stuff doesn't work too well on solaris termcap19:14
RoyKno idea why, though19:15
RoyKctrl+a/e works, though19:15
RoyKand in bash, 'set -o vi' might be a friend19:15
hdonhmm19:15
hdonhmm, my bash doesn't acknowledge -o i in "help set"19:16
RoyKheh - seems to be missing19:17
RoyKtry it - it'll turn your shell into vi19:17
hdonRoyK, thanks for the help anyway. i do use ^a but i'm in screen all the time, so it's ^a,a19:17
RoyK<esc>kkkwcw..19:17
* hdon lols19:18
hdonoh man19:18
hdonthat's crazy19:18
* RoyK has been using vi for 15 years and isn't going to stop19:18
* hdon uses vim19:18
RoyKthen use -o vi :)19:19
hdonyeah this is great actually19:19
hdoni can b and w19:19
RoyKobviously, I'm also using vim - old vi sucks pretty hard19:19
hdonand e19:19
hdonheh19:19
hdonRoyK, thanks very much for the tip :)19:19
RoyKbash is pretty neat at times :)19:20
RoyKbourne again, obviously.....19:20
hdonpressing v takes me to a vi(m?) with my line to edit19:21
hdonlooks like vi19:21
hdonand shift+i and shift+a19:22
hdonthis is great19:22
RoyKseems it doesn't support stuff like 'gf'19:23
RoyKbut still - a better shell :)19:23
* RoyK suspects effj might be swedish19:29
effjyup, that's correct19:32
ComPorTeDHow exactly does one use sredird to redirect your comport?19:33
RoyKsredird??19:34
RoyKhm19:34
RoyKnever used that one19:34
RoyKlooks interesting, though19:34
RoyKComPorTeD: for what do you use those comports?19:36
ComPorTeDWell i have a device that I want to get GPS off of19:37
ComPorTeDThat machine is running ubuntu19:37
ComPorTeD10.0419:37
RoyKwouldn't that be easier to do locally and just export the result with http or something?19:37
ComPorTeDit connects via serial19:37
ComPorTeDand I want to be able to essentially open a putty session with the device from my remote windows machine as if it was connected to my local com port there19:38
=== _TechAway_ is now known as _Techie_
ComPorTeDRoyK: well there are more options than just GPS, and i would like to be able to use those options19:39
RoyKdunno, really, never used sredird - well - never heard of it before now19:39
ComPorTeDRoyK: think of it like you were connecting a cisco router that connects via serial... you would want to be able to do all the commands19:39
ComPorTeDRoyK: what about with socat?19:39
RoyKI haven't done serial over IP - ever19:40
ComPorTeDoh :(19:40
RoyKbut it seems like a good thing19:40
RoyKwe have tons of instruments at work only connecting over serial, so ...19:40
ComPorTeDnice19:41
ComPorTeDyeah it would be very nice19:41
ComPorTeDsocat seemed like a good way to go... you can create bidirectional byte streams of data19:42
ComPorTeDthink netcat but much more powerful19:42
RoyKk19:42
RoyKwe're building some new loggers these days19:43
RoyKallowing them to present the serial port directly over IP would be neat19:43
darkk^I used socat to send NMEA over UDP stream (due to unstable GPRS link) - worked like charm.19:46
ComPorTeDdarkk^: any idea how you might just make the actual serial port available19:47
darkk^ComPorTeD, do you need flow control and/or ring/carrier-detect, etc?19:47
ComPorTeDdarkk^: or if you could help me figure out this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/create-socat-connection-parse-output-842006/ that would be awesome19:47
=== ng_ is now known as NG_
ComPorTeDdarkk^: shhouldn't need flow control19:48
ComPorTeDnot sure what ring/carrier-detect is19:48
_Techie_whats the easiest way to set a static mount point for a new drive so that it mounts during boot?19:50
=== NG_ is now known as ng_
_Techie_other than using mount in a cron job19:50
_ruben_Techie_: edit /etc/fstab19:56
darkk^ComPorTeD, READLINE in terms of socat is not `read` from bash that reads single line. I'm sorry, can't give you more detailed answer, it's already 2am here :)19:57
ComPorTeDdarkk^: alrihgt: :)... you think if you get a chance maybe you could post on that forum. i have met a lot of people interested in how to do similar things, but you are the first person i have met in a LONG time19:58
ComPorTeDthat even knows what socat is19:58

sledgezanyone know if there is an ubuntu HCL for 10.0421:19
sledgezi run a few ubuntu servers....and i would like to get a sata raid card for one...but i want to be sure its supported21:19

sledgezcool....ive had good luck with adaptec in the past....21:44
sledgez_ruben, can they be made bootable21:44
_rubenkinygos: even if you disable the unban action, blocks wont survive a reboot (or iptables flush). perhaps fail2ban does have some persistency option somewhere though21:44
_rubensledgez: yes21:45

Acshello22:31
Acscan anyone please tell me how I can make a file get the group of the directory?22:31
EvilPhoenixyeah, chown22:31
EvilPhoenixi think22:31
EvilPhoenixif i understand your question, that is22:32
Acsyes but how can I make the process automatically ? Like if user X creates a file instead of the file getting the users group it would get the group of the folder22:32
Acsas soon as it was created22:32
EvilPhoenixoh...22:32
EvilPhoenixnot sure22:32
erichammondAcs: If you want files in the directory to automatically get the directory group:  chmod g+s DIRECTORY22:33
Acsthanks22:33
khusseinHi guys. Can someone please tell me where can I see the list of blueprints or features that are planned for the next release?22:34
khusseinLike approved ones.22:34
EvilPhoenixyou might ask this in #ubuntu+122:35

uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 670161 in ubuntu-on-ec2 "10GB root partition for EBS boot AMIs on EC2" [Medium,New]23:34
erichammondsmoser: Releasing a new AMI seems different to me than releasing an update for Ubuntu.  An SRU affects installed systems that are upgrading in place.  An AMI only affects the people who decide to start new instances of that AMI.23:35
erichammondsmoser: It's sort of like deciding to bundle Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid with a different piece of hardware that has different disk/memory configurations. The Technical board would not need to approve an SRU for that.23:36
erichammondsmoser: Or am I completely missing something here?23:36
erichammondsmoser: Ok, catching up with the rest of the ticket and linked mailing list thread... Looks like you are working towards that end and Mark Shuttleworth supports it.23:43
