ZacharyNewbcan someone help me get remote access working on my server?00:06
ZacharyNewbusing ssh?00:06
ZacharyNewbon the server, and putty on windows 7?00:07
eriksson25Just install openssh00:09
ZacharyNewbalready did00:09
ZacharyNewbI don't know what to do from here00:09
ZacharyNewbhttp://beyond-sight.com/00:10
ZacharyNewbrouter is forwarding correctly00:10
eriksson25Oki, on putty, just set your server ip, port 22, and press open00:10
ZacharyNewberiksson25:  Connection refused.00:11
ZacharyNewberiksson25:  my router is probabaly not forwarding that port, one moment00:11
eriksson25Exactly00:11
eriksson25=)00:11
ZacharyNewbHow can I set my ubuntu ethernet ipaddress?00:12
ZacharyNewb192.168.1.250 for example?00:12
ZacharyNewbit's currently 192.168.1.900:12
eriksson25Depends on, you can set it from the router. Binding its mac to a ip.00:13
eriksson25You can set it grafical if you have it on the server. Or you can set it in commandline.00:13
eriksson25did ssh work now?00:13
eriksson25You shuld not have it on port 22.00:14
ZacharyNewbhavne't forwarded the port to the pc yet00:14
ZacharyNewbverizon fios router00:14
ZacharyNewbdoesn't say anything about a mac address00:14
eriksson25before you do that, change the port.00:14
ZacharyNewbchange port how?00:15
eriksson25to a higher number like 5022 or something.00:15
ZacharyNewbI don't know how to change the openssh port to something else00:15
eriksson25open file /etc/ssh/sshd_conf00:15
ZacharyNewb26254 in this case, is what I'd like.00:15
ZacharyNewbokay00:15
ZacharyNewbsudo nano00:15
eriksson25and there go down to port= and change it to whatever.00:15
eriksson25Then you need to run /etc/init.d/ssh restart00:16
eriksson25http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/31900:17
eriksson25Thats how you set static ip to whatever you want on the server.00:18

ZacharyNewbI cd  ed to the directory init.d00:19
eriksson25No need.00:19
ZacharyNewbssh restart isn't doing anything00:19
eriksson25Just type "/etc/init.d/ssh restar"00:19
SpamapSkirkland: hey, how come ubuntu-vm-builder doesn't accept maverick inside maverick?00:19
nich0ssudo service ssh restart00:19
eriksson25And press enter.00:19

ZacharyNewbssh start/running, process 163100:20
eriksson25or that way as nichos says00:20
eriksson25Yes, now its using the new port.00:20
ZacharyNewbawesome00:20
eriksson25Portforard it and you are good to go.00:20
nich0sZacharyNewb: Welcome to Ubuntu.00:21
s093294Hmm, wierd hehavior on iptables. I use iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport 4000 -jDNAT --to-destination 82.211.214.96   This dont work if i try to connect to ip of the ppp0 interface, if i change ppp0 to eth1 and connect to that ip the packages are send of to 82.211.214.96  (are there some special thing with pptp connections) ?00:21
ZacharyNewberiksson25:  those instructions on that link aren't working00:22
ZacharyNewbno interfacing directory or file00:22
ZacharyNewbwow, just found it nevermind00:22
eriksson25=)00:22
TDoubleDgAnyone familiar with using DRBD to create an active/active ISCSI target?00:23
ZacharyNewbsudo nano interfaces00:23
ZacharyNewberiksson25: okay, I changed my ip address in the config file, and it matches that text except00:25
ZacharyNewbhe kept having "192.168.0.1"00:26
ZacharyNewbI put "1.1"00:26
eriksson25Yes ofc, since that would be your router.00:26
ZacharyNewbis my rendition correct?00:26
ZacharyNewbofc = ofcourse, ah. xD00:27
ZacharyNewbokay00:27
ZacharyNewbdo I need to reset the ethernet connection somehow for the change to take effect?00:27
ZacharyNewberiksson25:00:27
eriksson25Yes, Dont remember how....00:27
nich0ssudo service networking restart00:28
eriksson25there you goo.00:28
ZacharyNewbah00:29
ZacharyNewberiksson25:  nich0s   Thanks, I also found "/etc/init.d/networking restart"00:29
ZacharyNewbwith yours, sudo service, IO'm getting "restart: unknown instance"00:30
eriksson25Yup, two ways of doing the same thing.00:30

eriksson25on the server, run ifconfig00:33
eriksson25And se if it says the correct ip00:34
ZacharyNewbyes00:34
ZacharyNewbcorrect ip00:34
eriksson25Is the server within the same lan?00:34
ZacharyNewbyes00:34
ZacharyNewbbeyond-sight.com00:34
eriksson25Then you dont need portworading, thats only from outside.00:35
ZacharyNewbis correctly being forwarded port 80 to the server, I get the web test page00:35
ZacharyNewbtrue.00:35
ZacharyNewbI travel sometimes as well00:35
ZacharyNewbfor now I'll test the network, you're right00:35
eriksson25Yes, but we get it to work internat first.00:35
eriksson25=)00:35
eriksson25In putty, did you sett the internal ip? like 192. and then the new port00:36
ZacharyNewbputty 192.168.1.250 port 2625400:36
ZacharyNewbconnection refused00:36
ZacharyNewbhowever in the ethernet adapter settings you had me view, it's showing "bcast" (broadcast) as 192.168.0.25500:36
eriksson25I say, reboot the server. Might me something with the ip numbers scruwing with you.00:36
eriksson25That is correct.00:37
ZacharyNewbdoesn't it need to be 0.1 ?00:37
eriksson25Or waait, now its noot.00:37
ZacharyNewblike I changed all the others?00:37
eriksson25Shuld be 1.25500:37
ZacharyNewb-nods- I missed that then00:37
eriksson25everyting has to be 192.168.1.x00:38
ZacharyNewband "network" 192.168.0.0 should be 192.168.1.1 ?00:39

eriksson25Wants to save a key?00:47
ZacharyNewb"the server's host key is not cached in the registry"00:47

PatrickDKah, it's looking for a date00:47
ZacharyNewb...00:48
ZacharyNewbwhat it called?00:48
ZacharyNewbdeflection?00:48
PatrickDKyour attempting to move it to an alternate port?00:48
eriksson25Yes00:48
ZacharyNewbyes, one previous attempt apparently failed00:48
ZacharyNewbhowever changing the ip address did work00:48
PatrickDKjust edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config00:48

PatrickDKssh_config is for the client, sshd_config is for the server00:49
ZacharyNewbnor did I restart it before I restarted the server00:49

eriksson25Its cool00:50
* PatrickDK never runs ssh on alternate ports00:50
ZacharyNewboh my god00:50
eriksson25Thats why I asked him to change putty to 22, since I belived he would missed it.00:50
ZacharyNewbso much easier typing it into putty here next to this window00:50
eriksson25=)00:50
eriksson25So putty up and running?00:51
* PatrickDK has never used putty00:51
eriksson25=), well some of us plays computergames, and dont come dragging about wine.00:51
eriksson25I use linux, for Server, Router, HTPC00:52
ZacharyNewbservice ssh restart isn't working00:52
PatrickDKheh, I use linux for everything00:52

ZacharyNewbalright00:52
ZacharyNewbnevermind, has to have sudo00:52
eriksson25=)00:52
ZacharyNewbYes, Putty works, now I've switched opensshd port to 2625400:52
ZacharyNewbincluding the client ssh port on the server too00:53
eriksson25Good boy00:53
eriksson25Now you are redy to do some real work. I am off to bed now.00:53

smoserkirkland, regarding MIRs, if the -desktop is an official supported image, it can only include things in main02:08
kirklandsmoser: i think for Natty we should prove something unsupported, using Universe first02:09
kirklandsmoser: before we commit to stuff in Main02:09
smoserwe basically have something unsupported02:09
smoserand have for 2 releases02:09
kirklandsmoser: right;  i'm thinking we should get heavier feedback on that for a cycle before we start picking and choosing what needs to go into Main02:28
smoserthats fine. but for that we dont really need to do anything.02:28

uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 379329 in openssh "CVE-2008-5161: OpenSSH CBC plaintext recovery" [Low,Fix released]05:18
Dark-Sunhello people;05:38
SpamapSkaushal: what about it?05:40
Dark-Sunhere's my scenario: i should make a web interface for iptables, (yes, it's a firewall web panel). problem is apache runs web page as "nobody" so i can't execute "iptables". question is "since there's a apache process run as root, is it possible to make apache use that process to run a web page?"05:43
SpamapSDark-Sun: no05:44
SpamapSDark-Sun: that process is only responsible for listening on port 80,  which is restricted to root access (all ports below 1024 are)05:45
SpamapSDark-Sun: You can, however, run iptables commands with sudo. However, I do not recommend this as this would mean anybody who can break into your web code can run any iptables command...05:46
SpamapSDark-Sun: is there any reason you don't want to use one of the existing iptables frontends, like smoothwall for instance?05:47
Dark-SunSpamapS: you mean that apache process can't do anything else but listening?05:47
SpamapSDark-Sun: basically, yes05:48
SpamapSDark-Sun: it just listens, and hands accepted connections to the child processes.05:48
Dark-SunSpamapS: actually i was about to do some other stuff beside firewall, and i was curious how they do this05:50
Dark-Suni got some work around clues, like jailing, a daemon running on the web server, but i don't know which one should i choose05:51
kaushalSpamapS: hi05:57
kaushalsorry was away05:57
kaushalis there a fixed version available for 8.04 ?05:57
kaushalI mean openssh-server05:57
SpamapSDark-Sun: a daemon that is chrooted off and very simple would work, as long as it has a way to verify who is communicating with it.06:06
SpamapSkaushal: looks like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/379329/comments/3 has a workaround that will work for hardy.06:07
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 379329 in openssh "CVE-2008-5161: OpenSSH CBC plaintext recovery" [Low,Fix released]06:07
kaushalSpamapS: ok06:07
kaushalso is it to add this Ciphers aes128-ctr,aes256-ctr,arcfour256,arcfour,aes128-cbc,aes256-cbc to to ssh_config and sshd_config and restart the daemon and restart openssh server ?06:08
kaushaland then rescan the server again with OpenVAS Server ?06:09
Dark-SunSpamapS: hummm... i should read more about it, thanks ;)06:09
SpamapSkaushal: also mdeslaur has replied in bug #651720 about why the patch was not pushed back to hardy.06:10
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 651720 in openssh "Hardy OpenSSH version out-of-date - security risks" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/65172006:10
Dark-SunSpamapS: did you mean "executing daemon with a user with limited root access"?06:11
kaushalSpamapS: ok06:12
SpamapSDark-Sun: the daemon would have to either run as root, or use something like sudo to temporarily elevate its privileges for each command.06:16

twbCallum__: that's probably offtopic for -server.08:31
Callum__oh, oops08:31
Callum__wrong channel08:31
Callum__haha08:31
twbSpamapS: I would do it by having the web page write to (say) /srv/www/rw/netfilter.rules, and have a separate root-owned cron job or inotify watcher that ran iptables-restore on it.08:32
twbAlthough obviously web-based management of ANYTHING is WRONG.08:33
alvinm0n0wall?09:14
twbalvin: what about it?09:16
alvinIt's only web-based09:18
twbAre you suggesting it *isn't* wrong?09:19
alvinCertainly. I prefer the command line, but m0n0wall is a very nice piece of software.09:24
twbMaybe you just have lower standards than I do09:27
alvinYou wouldn't say that if you had used m0n0wall, or something like it.09:28
twbUsing PHP in the boot sequence doesn't sound very clever to me.09:28
twbI can get behind standardizing on XML as a configuration file format, though.09:29
alvinneither is using upstart09:29
twbOh, definitely.  I hate upstart.09:29
binBASHdoes someone know if drbd replication is only one way or is it possible to write in both machines?09:29
twbalvin: the HTML they're using is pretty crap, at least.09:32
twbI can see they're using tables for alignment and <td class=th> instead of <th>, in the first thirty seconds of RTFSing09:33
_rubenbinBASH: master/master is supported09:34
alvintwb: You have m0n0wall running? Or do you mean their website itself?09:34
_rubendoes open up a nice can of worms though09:34
twbalvin: I'm reading http://svn.m0n0.ch/wall/tags/release-1.32/webgui09:34
twbalvin: obviously I'm not going to RUN anything PHP-based.09:35
alvinah, ok. Could be. But I only used it as an example of a well working and stable web-based systems. of course, there are others. Managing ZFS on Solaris web-based will simply not work, SWAT (samba) isn't the same as smb.conf either, and eBox isn't there yet. I only wanted to say there are exceptions.09:36
twb_ruben: say, you have a clue, and you know about drbd.09:36
twb_ruben: I have a deployment case with side-by-side identical hardware, each with a two-disk RAID1.  I want the backup unit's disks slaved to the production unit.  I have been doing nightly rsyncs, and I started looking at instead adding the slave's disks directly to the RAID1 (with --write-mostly) over AoE.09:36
twb_ruben: is drbd a better idea than aoe in that case?09:36
twbalvin: "it works" isn't the same as the Right Thing.09:37
twbalvin: as far as "it works for me" goes, I'm relatively impressed by OpenWRT's solution, which involves a YAML-esque configuration format for everything, which has both a nvram get/set-style CLI and a lua-based web UI.09:38
alvintwb: I agree. let's say: "it works very well and is stable". the Right Thing isn 't always the best solution. For example, Ubuntu removed libstdc++5 in Lucid. (Yes, the LTS). This broke many commercial applications and thus production systems. The right thing would have been to ask the commercial vendors to recompile their products, but you know you can't really do that.09:39
alvinGood to know :) I'll look at OpenWRT09:39
twbalvin: products that you can't recompile are inherently not The Right Thing :-)09:40
alvintwb: No, but tell that to the management if your company really relies on it.09:40
twbI could probably make a case that companies are the Wrong Thing, too -- but I'm not an economist :-)09:41
* twb impotently shakes fist at the world09:41
alvinthat brings a smile to my face09:42

_rubentwb: no easy way to change the prompt globally11:39
_rubenguess i should mess up /etc/skel/ prior to adding users11:39
twb_ruben: why do you want to do that?11:40
twbI mean, /etc/bash.bashrc would be the Right Way, but it sounds like you want to prevent users changing it back to whatever they prefer11:40
_rubentwb: nah, i want to offer a saner default (fqdn instead of short name)11:40
twbThat's /etc/skel and/or /etc/bash.bashrc, then11:41
twbAnd too bad for existing users11:41
_rubenfresh servers and only handful of users, so it's not big a deal, is kinda annoying though .. the only diff between root's .bashrc and users' .bashrc is the bash autocompletion being disabled for root11:42
_rubena saner approach would've been to use /etc/skel/.bashrc as /etc/bash.bashrc and give root it's own .bashrc (which it already has)11:42
_rubencurrent approach sems like a cludge to me11:42
twb_ruben: I am *strongly* opposed to putting "clever" things in the default /etc/bash.bashrc11:43
twbRHEL does that and it makes me livid11:43
twbe.g. I ssh into a RHEL box and it changes my terminal title to gibberish11:43
twbAnd if you, a user, want to *disable* such functionality, your .bashrc becomes horribly complicated by lines like "if I running on RHEL>=3 then unset magic_variable; magic_function() {:;}"11:44

Ben604Hello!12:35
twbBoo!12:35
Ben604don't suppose I could you trouble you guys for some support12:35
twbDebian Policy requires that /var/run and /var/lock be supported as tmpfses12:35
twb!ask | Ben60412:36
ubottuBen604: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)12:36
Ben604we're running ubuntu server within hyper-v, behind an internet proxy server12:36
Ben604we can ping to our internal network fine12:36
Ben604but can't reach the big wide world12:36
Ben604the proxy settings match our other, non-virtualised, linux boxes12:37
Ben604which can connect to the outside world fine.  Which leads me to believe it's a problem with hyper-v?12:37
twbBen604: so on the virtual Ubuntu server, you're running http_proxy=http://proxy.example.org:8080/ w3m http://example.net/ ?12:37
Ben604yeah, that's correct12:37
twbWhat error does it give?12:38
twbSuch issues are easiest to debug with "curl -vso/dev/null http://example.net/", but you probably don't have curl installed.12:38
twbwget -vO/dev/null, I think, is the nearest equivalent12:39
Ben604actually, that worked...12:39
Ben604I'll be more specific12:39
twbBen604: OK, pastebin the output from curl12:39
Ben604we definitely haven't got curl installed, I've just been reliably informed12:40
twbOh, you mean the *w3m* call worked?12:41
Ben604it seems, that when I enter this command: http_proxy=http://proxy.example.org:8080/ w3m http://example.net/ ? it works fine, but it won't ping12:41
twbICMP won't work unless hyperv is bridging or natting traffic from the VM12:42
twbIf I were you, I'd ssh into your router(s) and start tcpdumping12:43
Ben604we're trying to get some packages through apt-get, but that won't find anything, we've added the proxy settings to the etc/apt/apt.conf12:43
Ben604(sorry about this, I'm sure you've noticed that I'm not exactly a long time Linux user!)12:44
twbIgnorance is fine, as long as you're prepared to learn12:44
Ben604can I use "ping" instead of "w3m" as a command?12:45
twbSure, but ping uses ICMP, not HTTP/TCP12:46
_rubenBen604: if w3m worked, try: sudo http_proxy=http://proxy.example.org:8080/ apt-get update12:46
twb_ruben: he just set $http_proxy in /etc/apt/apt.conf, so he should be OK for apt-get runs from now on12:46
_rubentwb: trying to rule out a wrong apt conf12:47
twbOK12:47
_rubenalso, on proxied systems like this, it might be "useful" to just export http_proxy12:47
_rubenany decent proxy-aware app will then use the proxy12:48
Ben604right12:48
Ben604sudo http_proxy=http://proxy.example.org:8080/ apt-get update  worked12:48
Ben604so it looks like the apt.conf file is the problem.12:49
_rubenBen604: so either fix the apt config, or add 'export http_proxy=http://proxy.example.org:8080/' to your login script12:49
twbPreferably both12:50
_rubenwouldn't harm indeed12:50
twb$ ssh ueo cat /etc/apt/apt.conf12:51
twbAcquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy:8080/";12:51
twbThat's what is *should* look like.12:51
Ben604guys, thank you very much!  nfs-common is now installing12:51
Ben604just checked apt.conf, didn't have "/" at the end, would that have been critical?12:53

twb_ruben: you have lxc.conf that says "start on filesystem" and it's *body* is "for CONTAINER in $CONTAINERS; do start lxc-container CONTAINER=$CONTAINER; done"13:29
twbThen you have lxc-container.conf which has a body referring to $CONTAINER13:29

hallyntwb: one thing that came out of UDS-n was that auto-starting of containers (and bridges for them) ought to be handled by libvirt.  (which means we first need to write a driver to have libvirt use contaienrs, but...)14:27

hallynzul: (assuming that was to me) no, you can pretend to some degree, but the contaienrs are different14:28

twba_ok: well, WTF15:21
twba_ok: is this a stock 10.04 kernel?15:21
a_oktwb: yep the server one that is15:21
twbI give up, sorry15:21
a_okill try to see if there is an update15:22
twb2.6.32-25-server x86_64 here, acpi_cpufreq exists and is in use15:22
twbSorry, I tell a lie.  acpi_cpufreq doesn't exist, I *do* have working ondemand governor15:23
twbacpi_cpufreq is apparently compiled in (i.e. =y) in Ubuntu kernels15:24
twba_ok: read through dmesg~, see if anything jumps out at you15:24
a_oktwb: do I still need to install cpufreq-utils?15:25
twbNo15:25
twbuserspace packages have been obsolete for years15:26
a_oklol now they tell me15:26
twbSorry, I should've mentioned that at the start15:28
twbTechnically they're still useful if you want to switch from "ondemand" or "powersave" (on battery) to "performance" (on AC), but in practice you get that effect by just leaving it on "ondemand"15:29
a_oktwb: yeah I want it on ondemand. I guess that 5520 is to new for the driver or something15:33

TeTeTany ideas why the following iscsi tgt targets.conf will not work in an exported target? Setting it up per command line is fine: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/533489/15:34
twbOops, that's an 8.04+openvz kernel15:35
a_oktwb: you mentioned another dir by the way15:35
a_ok /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu015:35
twbIn 8.04+openvz I can modprobe acpi_cpufreq and get a governor15:35
twba_ok: cpu0 is just the first cpu (or core)15:35
a_okyeah I can do the same on my 8.0415:36
a_oktwb: I mean you are looking at class now15:36
twba_ok: same shit15:36
twb /sys is incestuous15:36

teep_I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS on a DL-380, serving primarily as Apache+php+mysql server and I've suffered recurring failures... about once a month, the webserver would run and serve some pages but I wouldn't be able to access the file system or the database and eventually the whole thing would come to a grinding halt... after a hard reboot it would work fine and I'd find no clue other than that syslog stopped logging a few days before16:34
teep_I have the same problem at this very moment... I can ssh, list processes, kill processes and some other tasks... but shell will freeze completely on commands such as 'top' and 'ls /'16:35
teep_does anyone have any clue what it could be or what I could try to test, right now, to find out more?16:35
air^teep_: regular harddrives? hw raid? or san?16:40

NightDragonquestion: i have a Dell PE 6800, is there a way for me to install DRAC on it?17:54
NightDragonspecifically, the DRAC gui would be nice17:54
patdk-wkisn't the whole point of drac is remote management? not local?17:55
NightDragonyes, but i'm not sure how to access it17:55
NightDragon(When you buy your server from an auction for 140 bux, documentation isnt really a big priority for the seller :-/)17:56
NightDragonright now i can mess with IPMI a little bit through 'ipmitool'17:56
patdk-wkit probably doesn't have real drac then, just drac-express17:56

patdk-wkpe2600 + drac is pretty much crap17:59

NightDragonwell, at least it makes a hell of a samba server for 140 bux :)17:59

NightDragonfor a 265018:00
NightDragonits probably plug-and-play compatable, yes?18:00
patdk-wkno idea18:01
patdk-wkI have never used drac18:01
patdk-wkI use ilo2 a lot though18:01
NightDragonwhassat?18:01
NightDragonright now it would be great to be able to manage hardware features through a GUI of some sort on my 2600.18:01
NightDragonit seems that DRAC does that, but if theres something else, then i'm all for it18:02
Davieyzul: Unstable has had lotta uploads recently18:02

Davieymathiaz: ahh, rather than syncing?18:12
mathiazDaviey: natty and maverick branches are already hosted on alioth18:12
mathiazDaviey: because debian is frozen, the latest version of puppet is not in unstable18:12

mathiazDaviey: nope18:14

mathiazDaviey: so as long as squeeze is not released there won't be any new packages uploaded to unstable that are syncable18:14

mathiazDaviey: yes - that would be the case18:15

PeterNLHi. i can't ssh to my server, but I can ping it. Also apache doesn't seem to respond. What's happening?21:32
guntbertPeterNL: no services running?21:34
PeterNLThere should be loots of things running21:34
guntbertPeterNL: and please don't crosspost21:35
PeterNLSorry, but I thought there was noone here21:35
guntbertI take it you cannot get to the server?21:35
guntbert)in person)21:35
PeterNLI'm sitting (almost) right next to it21:36
PeterNLBut theres no way I can connect a monitor or a keyboard21:36
guntbertthinking...21:36
guntbertPeterNL: test it with nmap21:38
PeterNLok21:38
PeterNLLots of ports are open, as they should be21:38
PeterNL(exactly the ones I expexted to be open)21:39
guntbertPeterNL: then you could try to reach other services... (just to see if it is alive at all - I sometimes had such failures with an old suse server, there only a manual reboot would help)21:41
PeterNL...nothing21:42
PeterNLBut I don't want to reboot it. The PSU fan has some problems with spinning up... Really...21:43
guntbertPeterNL: with only a keyboard you could reboot it without powering down...21:43
PeterNLI should try that. But the last time I booted it there was no keyboard present. I don't have any USB keyboards lying around, and PS/2 isn't hot swappable21:44
guntbertPeterNL: well, I'm at the end of ideas then - sorry - but if it is an old machine it might have a reset button...21:47
PeterNLIt might...21:47
* PeterNL graps a flashlight21:47
PeterNLgrabs*21:47
PeterNL...there goes my almost 300-days uptime...21:48
PeterNLWait21:48
PeterNLI might have a usb keyboard after all...21:48
PeterNL...maybe...21:48

ZacharyNewbRoyK: Well, I followed some tutorial, which described configuring the CUPS to listen on a certain port so I could configure it on a webpage over the network22:05
PeterNLI just did connect a monitor to my server, and it says "[timestamp] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 11s! [apache2:PID]"22:05

kirklandhallyn: merging kvm now ... sorry for the delay22:37
hallynkirkland: np, thanks22:37
hallynhey does anyone know where the heck to get the openldap HEAD ?22:37
OneSoulLegionWould anyone have some tips getting ubuntu server to install from a usb drive?22:38
eriksson25Easy, read on the ubuntu.com22:40
hallynah there it is22:40
sorenhallyn: Are they still on cvs?22:40
OneSoulLegioneriksson25: Oh, I've tried that. Unfortunately I've run into some problems.22:40
sorenhallyn: You could just use the bzr mirror on Launchpad.22:41
eriksson25Then say them. Hard for us to know what errors you have had.22:41
hallynsoren: no i want to see the very latest22:41
sorenhallyn: I think that's HEAD.22:41
hallynhttp://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi22:41
hallynso i guess i'ts still cvs :)22:41
hallynno wonder googling for svn openldap was getting me nowhere22:41
OneSoulLegionAye, sorry. Basically, I'm trying to get it to install on an eeebox, and it tells me it can't find the cd-rom. Of course, the machine doesn't have a cd-rom drive and it's trying to install from a usb stick...22:42
kirklandsoren: did you get a chance to look at that live iso?22:42
sorenkirkland: Not at all, sorry.22:42
eriksson25Well, that is a boot problem in the box, have you set it to boot from the usb?22:42
eriksson25In my asus nootbook it is shown as a hdd.22:42
OneSoulLegionYeah, I've done that. And it finds the usb just fine, since it can start and run the installer.22:42
OneSoulLegionIt just fails partway through saying it can't copy the files from the cdrom.22:43
kirklandsoren: bummer;  any chance you could boot that puppy in a kvm and see if it's something silly/easy I'm missing?22:43
kirklandsoren: give it 10 minutes or so attention?22:43
eriksson25And you did the usb with the usb creater software?22:43
OneSoulLegion(as an aside, I was able to install the desktop version no problem with the same method, but then I realized I need the server edition)22:43
OneSoulLegionI tried making it with the usb creator software, as well as unetbootn.22:43
eriksson25Why did you need it?22:43
eriksson25server eddi.22:44
OneSoulLegionBeen searching around various websites and tried everything for a few hours now. =)22:44
OneSoulLegionBecause I want to use the machine as a webserver?22:44
eriksson25Well, no problem, install desktop eddi, remove genome, and instal LAMP and you are done.22:44
eriksson25You got some more stuf there that is not needed but you wount notice. I run my server as desktop version for 3 years. Before I did a reinstall.22:45
OneSoulLegionI'll have a look at that then... I guess I need it to accept my network card properly before I can get LAMP installed, though?22:46
eriksson25Well, yes to dl stuf its needed. And to be a web server its surly needed.22:46
OneSoulLegionYeah, I'll have to agree with that =)22:46
eriksson25=)22:47
OneSoulLegionIt seems mostly to have problems with the DHCP rather than the network card itself, at least.22:47
eriksson25Do it, and skip serching for a loong time.22:47
eriksson25Well, turn that of and put static ip on it then.22:47
OneSoulLegionIf I manually set the IP, it'll find and connect to my old webserver, but it won't find the gateway, nor will it get out to the 'net. So something seems a little wonky there.22:47
OneSoulLegion(I'm basically trying to move over from my old Pentium-2 which is sounding like a lawnmower atm, to the new machine)22:48
eriksson25Thats becouse you havent set a static dns and gatway.22:48
OneSoulLegionAye, sounds likely.22:48
OneSoulLegionWhere would I do that?22:48
eriksson25hmm, dont remember on the top of my head. But google static dns ubuntu and you will find it.22:49
OneSoulLegionOkay, thanks a lot for the help. =)22:50
kirklandhallyn: done22:57

bluethundris there an automatic account management tool in ubuntu that is similar to auth-config under red hat that would allow automatic configuration of pam to do ldap lookups for it's information?23:45
mdeslaurbluethundr: there's pam-auth-update23:50
bluethundrmdeslaur, that's great thanks!23:50
mdeslaurbluethundr: not sure if it'll do what you're looking for, but take a look23:51
bluethundrhoping to get all of pam to listen to an ldap server23:51
bluethundrI will look into it23:51
bluethundrmdeslaur, yes I gave it a try, but no luck23:56
bluethundrat any rate, here is how I tried to configure my /etc/pam.d/common-auth file: http://pastebin.ca/199509223:58
