[00:02] hey all, so i have a .deb that i would like to package up for ubuntu 10.04 and put it up on my launchpad ppa [00:02] what are the steps i would have to take? [00:03] i looked at the packaging docs, seems like everything is written for packaging from the groun up [00:03] any ideas how to fix this kvm issue? pci_add_option_rom: failed to find romfile "pxe-rtl8139.bin" Could not initialize SDL - exiting [00:06] securitymetrics complains about apache and openssl versions. Just upgraded to 10.04.1 and that won't do the trick. How to I get current versions of Apache and openssl? [00:14] tarvid, as long as your upgraded, your ok [00:14] it's saying the patch is in the new version, but ubuntu back ported the patch to the lucid version [00:15] securitymetrics only looks for the version [00:15] yep [00:15] how about maverick? [00:15] same issue [00:16] your always going have the same issue, unless you run a really bleeding edge version that is unstable [00:16] so how do I make them go away? [00:16] this is why they make a comment field, and you type in, patch backported, ignore [00:17] I don't think that will avoid the failure notices to my customer [00:18] then your going have to go bleeding edge [00:18] or teach them about backported patchs [00:19] the customer probably won't be impressed. SecurityMetrics either [00:19] hell, I all the people that use rhel know abut it, their whole distro is designed around backported everything [00:19] years out of date [00:19] actually, sounds like your being annoying here [00:20] I have never had a auditor have an issue [00:20] as long as you point to the CVE patchs [00:21] maybe you want to use gentoo? or debian unstable? [00:21] though, I don't believe there is currently a debian unstable [00:23] Ooooo, I've done Gentoo. I am too old for that. [00:24] I'll try pointing them to the package listings and if that fails, look for the version numbers and patch the binaries [00:24] them being the auditor [00:24] you could always be annoying [00:24] and remove the version number from the apache id :) [00:24] so it doesn't advertize it [00:24] I try [00:25] This has been one of those days. ftp-passive til about 4 and now openssl and apache [00:26] Not good for ones equanimity [00:27] You probably know the answer to this morning's question - is ftp connection tracking on be default? I found no way to turn it on like we used to [00:35] when configuring a bridged interface, I should give it a static IP in the same range as my physical card but a different IP, correct? [00:39] lvh: treat the bridge like a normal interface. forget about the physical card (no ip there) [00:41] pmatulis: Well, I gave it an IP in the same range as the physical card and networking didn't actually work [00:41] (see paste) [00:41] 00:56 http://bpaste.net/show/11879/ [00:41] works with or without the proxy [00:41] (sorry, *fails* with or without the proxy) === jjohansen is now known as jj-afk [01:20] hi all. i need to install 32bit compatibility libraries for 64bit ubuntu server. is it as easy as a "apt-get isntall "? [01:26] GeekyAdam, ia32-libs [01:26] smoser: i was looking at libc6-i386 (GNU C Library: 32-bit shared libraries for AMD64). wrong answer? === GeekyAdam is now known as GeekyAdam|zzZZ [01:34] patdk-lap, thanks for your advice, giving up for the day, back at it tomorrow [01:38] A correct solution for biarch requires dpkg3. ia32-libs works by simply providing 32-bit versions of a handful of libraries "because they're the ones you probably want". === FireCrotch is now known as nickmoeck === squishy is now known as SquishyNotHere === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy [01:50] GeekyAdam|zzZZ, ia32-libs is a metapackage which contains several libraries for that purpose, and probably contains the one you mentioned [02:21] New bug: #656646 in cloud-init (main) "transient network/keyscan issues" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/656646 === xfaf is now known as zul [05:18] I just registered my domain, and when I surf to "mydomain.com" I'm getting the godaddy pop up, but if I surf to "www.mydomain.com" it is directing to my server. does anyone have any idea what the issue is ?

[08:28] databits: the ubuntu server guide describes dovecot, iirc [08:30] I found a decent one. [08:30] twb: what is the command to check system resources used. [08:30] That depends on the resource [08:30] I'm ssh'ed into my server and it is laggy as hell. I'm trying to figure out what is causing it [08:30] Probably network I/O [08:31] well I'm 144 mbit wireless to the router, and it is hardwired to the router [08:31] their should be no issue lol [08:31] I don't know how to check that, except perhaps indirectly with netstat -nap, uptime (for load), iostat [08:31] I have never had a problem now it just started out of the blue [08:31] isn't their a way to check the processor load ? [08:31] Yes, uptime [08:32] what is the command ? [08:32] It's caleld the "load average". [08:32] databits: uptime [08:32] thanks [08:32] 03:34:58 up 2 days, 2:20, 2 users, load average: 0.08, 0.10, 0.13 [08:33] hmmm their should not be another user logged on [08:33] "The system imposes a maximum of 3 samples, representing averages over the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes, respectively." [08:33] or could that be my webserver ? [08:33] databits: I don't know; I'm not on your network [08:33] databits: now check the I/O load. [08:33] how do you check to see which user's are logged on ? [08:33] databits: w or who [08:33] the number of "users" is actually the number of login sessions [08:34] USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT [08:34] root pts/0 192.168.1.114 01:46 1:46m 0.31s 0.31s -bash [08:34] root pts/1 192.168.1.114 03:24 0.00s 0.26s 0.00s w [08:34] hmmm that must have been another putty window that I closed out [08:35] databits: don't log in as root [08:35] I'm installing some stuff right now [08:35] That is no excuse. [08:36] how do you kill a user's session ? [08:36] pkill -u fred [08:36] Or just yank the power cable out [08:37] Depends how much they're annoying me [08:37] databits: if you log out it should stop the session [08:37] I wanted to kill the other root session [08:37] I'm logged in as another account now [08:38] pkill -u root is probably going to shit your whole system [08:38] Don't do that [08:38] ok now how do you check the io load ? [08:38] 19:31 I don't know how to check that, except perhaps indirectly with netstat -nap, uptime (for load), iostat [08:39] iotop is nice too [08:40] databits: also check memory [08:41] if your memory is full and the system is swapping constantly... [08:41] how do you check the memory ? [08:41] Bah [08:41] iotop checks disk read and writes [08:41] databits: ps [08:43] iotop also shows swaping [08:43] Technically I think the term is "paging" [08:44] But TUIs are for wimps [08:44] dosn't look like anything is swapping [08:45] does anyone know of a command that will bring up a reading of my network bandwidth like iotop or iostat ? [08:45] JanC: how do you check the memory ? [08:46] if you aren't swaping, memory is not an issue [08:46] but the basic command to see memory usage is 'free' [08:47] JanC: thanks [08:48] well darn... now my webserver just went down lol [08:48] eh [08:48] everything went down lol [08:48] probably that kicking the root off eh lol [08:48] this is really bothering me why my ssh is so laggy [08:49] it has never been like this [08:50] Probably you're running phpbb or something and someone already rooted it [08:51] twb: what do you mean ? [08:51] darn I can never remember how to start alot of this stuff ... I need to write a startup script to start all my services lol [08:51] What I mean is "grumble, darn kids with their insecure PHP crap, get off my lawn" [08:53] phpbb isn't as bad as in the past anymore, I think? [08:53] * JanC also remembers the times when they got security fixes every couple of weeks ;) [08:54] restarting to see if this will fix any of my issues [08:54] JanC: all I bother to remember is "PHP is created by retards for retards, if you deploy anything written in it you WILL be compromised. Film at 11" [08:55] Having a high barrier to entry is a *good* thing -- it keeps the riffraff out [08:57] w [08:58] twb: when talking about necessary barriers; somebody just asked me "what software do I need to install to start a hosting company"... ;) [08:59] JanC: cpanel and a paypal gateway [08:59] >duck< [08:59] hmmm still having major lag [08:59] * RoyK += 0xc0ffee [09:28] rofl twb :D [10:10] ok wow I feel like a retard trying to figure this cyrus imapd out :) [10:10] can someone help me out ?

What the h***. All PDFs work fine with Chrome and IE. [11:07] databits: I don't understand the question. What exactly are you trying to do?

But it nothing wrong with it. [11:08] How do I make sshd start _after_ network on boot, reason: sshd won't autostart on boot if I set ListenAddress to a address [11:08] SlimG: set it to depend on network. [11:08] instead of running to putty window's I want to just use the same screen and use a command to switch between windows [11:09] maedox: How do I do this? [11:09] databits: byobu or screen might help you. [11:09] SlimG: I'm not exactly sure, but it should be in the upstart docs. [11:09] thanks maedox [11:10] maedox: thanks bro [11:26] maedox I have 4 screen created lol I'm trying to figure out how to close and switch between the different screen's lol [11:29] hello to all. does anybody know a step by step guide for how to install and run urchin on a ubuntu server ?

[17:58] ah [17:58] that'll do it [17:58] arrrghhh, chmod 774 /etc/bind and is working now. [17:58] Thanks for you help man. [17:59] np. don't think i helped any, but hey :P [18:01] arrrghhh, ah, pointed me in the right direction :) [18:01] :D [18:07] New bug: #684874 in rabbitmq-server (main) "Merge rabbitmq-server 2.2.0-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/684874 [18:11] arrrghhh, One more question. Lookups from the default root servers in db.root are very slow (to the point of timing out on the first attempt). [18:11] arrrghhh, Any idea why this may be? [18:12] i'd trace the network traffic [18:12] see where you're having slowness. [18:14] arrrghhh, the first request seems to be going out to 192.168.1.254 ?? [18:15] Once that times out, it completes immediately with the first ns in db.root [18:15] you've got an error in your config somewhere [18:15] probably in you dns config, not sure. [18:16] or in you dhcp config, where it's pointing your dns to [18:18] so what do you do when your apt repo 404's? http://pastebin.ca/2009805 [18:19] bluethundr_: can you ping us.archive.ubuntu.com? [18:19] arrrghhh, yep! [18:20] bluethundr_: hrm. 1 sec. [18:20] how can I fix a server to boot, without a network card, when I have a nfs in fstab?

[18:22] bluethundr_: i would just grab a deb that does exist for your setup, once you have libldap2-dev installed it shouldn't complain about the dependency. [18:24] arrrghhh, actually an aptitude update -y seemed to take care of it [18:24] sorry for the alarm :) [18:25] lol [18:25] ok [18:25] heh [18:25] thanks for the input regardless! [18:25] needed to refresh your repo's :P [18:25] not sure why that wasn't my first conclusion, d'oh.

[18:27] data parity? i think its called [18:27] resno: don't think so... you'll need raid on top of lvm. [18:27] well then [18:27] http://www.gagme.com/greg/linux/raid-lvm.php <---- see the "Initial set of LVM on top of RAID" [18:31] hggdh: do you want to discuss SRU stuff on monday? [18:31] zul: deal [18:32] zul: and daily VCSs [18:32] hggdh: sure [18:32] I'm trying to use virt-manager to connect to a remote KVM/QEMU virtual machine over SSH. However, that appears to want to use root access, and root logins are disabled on that machine. Is there a way to instruct virt-manager to use sudo instead of root? virt-viewer -c qemu+ssh://lagavulin.local/system MongoDB, the only problem is I can't figure out how to tell virt-manager to use my normal user. [18:33] virt-manager would be better since I still need to set stuff such as networking [18:33] arrrghhh: thanks, ill take a look at that. [18:35] Is there any way I can bypass doing external dns on my server and instead just tell clients to use 8.8.8.8 ? [18:35] blistov: yea, just specify that in the dhcp settings or manually configure the clients. [18:37] arrrghhh, thans. [18:37] thanks. [18:37] Now I just figure out how to turn off external dns resolution on the server and I'm set. [18:37] dns order is now 192.168.1.1, 8.8.8.8 [18:38] Would work fine except that 192.168.1.1 is trying to do external resolution as well ... [18:38] hrm. [18:38] blistov: sorry i'm not a dns expert, i know enough to be dangerous... [18:50] is it possible to get a list of packages which i have selected for manual installation?

[19:20] xperia: missing package? investigate: 'aptitude search php | grep sqli' [19:21] hello, I have a script to launch some PID files for a t38modem, I placed this in /etc/init.d/, made it executable, and added a symlink to /etc/rc0.d/ but still it refuses to launch on boot, any idea's? [19:22] when I press C+a it is just cycling through the last two screen's. it does not alow me to put a screen number in [19:22] zamarax: use rc2.d instead [19:23] zamarax: 0 is for halting your machine [19:24] haha, I obviously missed that somewhere [19:24] thanks, trying it now :-) [19:25] just out of curiousity as well, what is rc1.d then? [19:25] pmatulis: looks like it is installed => php5-sqlite - SQLite module for php5 [19:25] i have changed some files in /etc/php5/conf.d/ that are related to pdo_sql [19:25] maybe this is problem. looks like i have broke something with sql [19:27] pmautulis: here is the output of the apache error log http://paste-bin.com/view/9968f313 [19:28] need help with this. my sites that use sql databases are broken at the moment [19:28] ok that worked on starting it, the last thing is, there are 2 scripts and have to be launched in a specific order, when is the modem script the second is the fax script, I need the modem to launch first then the fax script, should I simply add a sleep 10 to the fax script? [19:28] or is there a better way [19:29] zamarax: sleep sounds good unless there is something you can do to test the modem [19:32] not really, but does rc2.d have a boot order? I'm worried about the fax launching first, waiting 10 seconds and then moving on to other scripts, if this is the case it will just slow down booting but still run before the modem script [19:32] or is that even possible? [19:32] zamarax: if you place the modem script first then that one will run first [19:33] that's what I don't understand, how do you place them in order like that? [19:33] are they run alphabetically? [19:34] zamarax: you should just run a main script from /etc/rc.local. that script will call the 2 other scripts. that's what i would do [19:34] zamarax: you shouldn't really mess with the init stuff as it can cause conflicts when the system is updated [19:35] zamarax: do you understand? [19:35] I think so, just basic script in rc.local to call the 2 other scripts right? [19:36] zamarax: right. and put a 'sleep 10' between the calls [19:36] cool [19:36] thanks [19:41] okay have maked a "sudo php -m" to show which modules are loaded into php but could not find one module for sqlite [19:41] http://paste-bin.com/view/96a1cdbd [19:41] instead i get this error message [19:41] PHP Warning: Cannot load module 'SQLite' because required module 'pdo' is not loaded in Unknown on line 0 [19:49] pmatulis, am I missing something from the script http://pastebin.ca/2009877 [20:00] how do you close screen's for the "screen program" [20:03] NM I got it firgured out [20:04] funny [20:04] I never close screens [20:04] I just exit the shell or detach from the session [20:04] databits: so whats the answer?

I had it in Karmic [20:17] Any time someone mentiones ftp, my thought is "It's 2010 for goodness sake. The '90s were over a long time ago." [20:18] Until I come up with an LXC like solution it is the safest means for clients to upload files [20:20] and even then ftp will be the lowest resource intensive method [20:21] and the same could be said for smtp, pop etc. [20:22] tarvid: sftp? [20:23] might do, I'll try a few Windows and Mac clients [20:24] winscp does it [20:24] not sure about mac clients, but i'd assume they'd be able to natively do it since it's just freebsd underneath. [20:24] I think filezilla will do that. Is that port 22? [20:25] yes [20:25] by default [20:25] so I will be inviting ssh logins with username and password? [20:25] chroot jail [20:26] sftp is ssh basically [20:26] just does to ftp what ssh did to telnet. [20:29] time to mull, thanks but it would be neat to get ftp connection tracking working again [20:30] tarvid: everything serious supports SSH uploads [20:31] tarvid: ftp just isn't recommended because just like telnet, it's unencrypted traffic. [20:31] tarvid: and check out 'scponly' for a limited shell that only supports scp commands [20:31] SpamapS: what if you don't trust your clients...? chroot jail i'm assuming is the only option. [20:32] arrrghhh: right, scponly actually chroots by default [20:32] is it possible/safe to dd a live system? [20:32] i want to backup my currently running desktop [20:32] billybigrigger: no [20:32] billybigrigger: not even close to safe [20:33] k [20:33] livecd it is, thanks guys [20:33] err SpamapS :P [20:33] billybigrigger: if you want to backup your system, backuppc works. [20:33] SpamapS, so does dd :) [20:33] billybigrigger: no [20:33] it does not [20:33] It does for an unmounted volume [20:34] livecd and dd [20:34] backuppc can actually backup while you're mounted and have a chance at being restorable without filesystem corruption. [20:34] your telling me won't backup my system? [20:34] hmmm [20:35] billybigrigger: I'm telling you that you should be careful using dd. It will work if you shutdown cleanly and boot into a livecd, yes. [20:35] billybigrigger: but if you don't want to do that.. there are a bunch of solutions.. tar.. rsync.. lvm snapshotting.. that will allow you to get a backup from your system without shutting it down. [20:35] dd if=/dev/sda of=~/sda.img [20:36] billybigrigger: what if your new disk isn't the same size as sda ? [20:36] it won't be [20:36] dd will copy the partition table with the wrong size [20:36] i'm trying to split 500gb into 2 x 250 [20:36] Hi all, which kernel modules I need to run iptables? [20:36] SpamapS, good point [20:37] billybigrigger: don't get me wrong, there are some good things about that. You can always resize the partition table... [20:37] billybigrigger: but, if it were me, I'd mount the volumes and make tar's of each one [20:37] billybigrigger: and then just record the output of 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' [20:37] will your backuppc work for my scenario? [20:38] billybigrigger: truth be told, backuppc is probably overkill [20:39] so... [20:39] billybigrigger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem [20:42] ZAHER: they're already included in the system, just run 'sudo iptables -L' and the ones needed will be loaded. [20:42] ZAHER: the -L is not for "load" btw, its for "list rules" [20:43] ZAHER: you might want to check out 'ufw' which is an easy firewall for ubuntu. [20:43] !ufw [20:43] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [20:43] billybigrigger: good luck, I have to run out for a bit [20:43] SpamapS: I have VPS under openVZ and the kernel don't have any modules [20:43] SpamapS, thanks [20:44] ZAHER: can you use ufw? [20:44] no [20:44] i would recommend that. it makes things very easy. [20:44] why? [20:45] arrrghhh: I can install it but it's don't work [20:45] ... [20:46] arrrghhh: ...? [20:46] it's already installed [20:46] does anyone know the location of the postfix log's off the top of their head ? [20:46] you're using ubuntu-server right? [20:46] databits: somewheres in /var/log i'd bet. [20:47] /var/log/maillog [20:55] arrrghhh: fyi, some VPS don't compile all the necessary netfilter code to use ufw. People can use /usr/share/ufw/check-requirements to see if this is the case [20:55] mail.log mail.info mail.err etc [20:57] jdstrand: that sucks. ZAHER did you catch that? [20:58] arrrghhh: yes,I use ubuntu server 10.04 but it's custom edition work under openVZ [20:58] ZAHER: so if you run that check-requirements does it fail? [20:58] (actually, 10.04 doesn't have the check-requirements script, but the issue is the same) [20:59] (oh wait, I misread that as '8.04', please disregard) [20:59] haha [20:59] :) [21:02] arrrghhh: thanks [21:02] np [21:05] @ubuntu:/etc# cyradm --user cyrus localhost [21:05] IMAP Password:localhost> cm databits.toto [21:05] createmailbox: Permission denied [21:05] anyone have any idea's ?

The test page worked. [21:44] guntbert: I just haven't tested it remotely [21:45] Cygnus_Rift: try to ask your ISP which ports they block (its often in the FAQs) [21:46] Cygnus_Rift: and else set the apache to listen on (say) 12500, and try it from outside [21:47] guntbert: How would I connect to my apache server if not through port 80 which most HTTP requests go through? [21:47] Cygnus_Rift: but if its really a ISP/router issue you might have better success in ##networking [21:48] Cygnus_Rift: in your remote browser type http://: [21:49] guntbert: Ah, alright. I was going to say, if I forwarded all router port 80 requests to my server, no other computers could surf the web [21:49] guntbert: all ---> my [21:50] Cygnus_Rift: port 80 is the one most likely blocked :-) (ISPs usually disallow servers...)
