wiiflow | why i cant run this from everywere /var/etc/newcs.x86 | 01:05 |
---|---|---|
wiiflow | i must do it from folder itself | 01:06 |
wiiflow | ./newcs.86 | 01:06 |
wiiflow | ./newcs.x86 | 01:06 |
wiiflow | why? | 01:06 |
pmatulis | wiiflow: b/c that executable is not in your PATH | 01:06 |
wiiflow | how can i make this to be runed from rc.local | 01:07 |
WinstonSmith | wiiflow, you can give it the full path eg var/etc/./newcs.x86 | 01:07 |
wiiflow | look | 01:08 |
wiiflow | root@Maverick:/var# /var/etc/newcs.x86 | 01:08 |
wiiflow | This is NewCS 1.67 RC1 [Build: 95] - the New CardServer by the Butter-team.. | 01:08 |
wiiflow | Compiled on Jul 14 2009 at 12:13:18 | 01:08 |
wiiflow | Reading Config file from /etc/newcs.xml | 01:08 |
wiiflow | Cannot open config file... quitting | 01:08 |
wiiflow | it opens the newcs.xml just were it is | 01:08 |
wiiflow | dont know why | 01:08 |
WinstonSmith | well it obviously needs to find the config file | 01:09 |
WinstonSmith | copy newcs.xml to /etc? | 01:09 |
wiiflow | the point is how to run itself with ubuntu from rc.local | 01:09 |
wiiflow | because it dont run from nowere just from itself folder | 01:10 |
WinstonSmith | in rc.local do a cd to that folder first | 01:10 |
wiiflow | how? | 01:10 |
wiiflow | this way looks my rc.local | 01:10 |
WinstonSmith | cd /path/to/folder | 01:10 |
wiiflow | sleep 45 | 01:11 |
wiiflow | sleep 45 | 01:11 |
wiiflow | /var/etc/newcs.x86 | 01:11 |
wiiflow | one sleep | 01:11 |
wiiflow | sleep 45 | 01:11 |
wiiflow | cd /var/etc/ | 01:11 |
wiiflow | /var/etc/newcs.x86 | 01:11 |
wiiflow | should look like this? | 01:11 |
wiiflow | or maybe | 01:12 |
WinstonSmith | or just newcs.x86 since ur already in that folder7 | 01:12 |
wiiflow | sleep 45 | 01:12 |
wiiflow | cd /var/etc/ | 01:12 |
wiiflow | ./newcs.x86 | 01:12 |
wiiflow | like this | 01:12 |
wiiflow | this looks promising | 01:12 |
wiiflow | lets see | 01:12 |
WinstonSmith | yes try that out? what ur up to? card sharing? ;) | 01:12 |
wiiflow | yea | 01:13 |
WinstonSmith | hehehe | 01:13 |
WinstonSmith | n1 | 01:13 |
WinstonSmith | used to do that with some frined | 01:13 |
WinstonSmith | friends* | 01:13 |
WinstonSmith | and a couple of dreamboxes | 01:13 |
WinstonSmith | brb | 01:14 |
wiiflow | worked | 01:17 |
wiiflow | :) | 01:17 |

cn1209 | This might be a bit off topic. But... What is the best place to buy a domain at a low price? | 02:29 |
qman__ | best is a matter of opinion | 02:31 |
qman__ | I use mydomain.com, they've been good so far | 02:31 |
cn1209 | cool. I'm looking into getting some kind of affordable cloud hosting to install ubuntu. | 02:36 |
mymrhelpdesk | much ubuntu-ltsp experience here? | 02:39 |
computerwiz_222 | hello, i have a support question relating to a boot issue. | 02:48 |
Jeeves_ | computerwiz_222: Ask your question, and it might be answered :) | 02:49 |
computerwiz_222 | my problem.. i was playing with fstab for nfs. i edited the file and it wouldn't boot anymore. i used a livecd to revert the file and now i get initramfs. my root partition is raided. | 02:50 |
computerwiz_222 | raid1 | 02:51 |
computerwiz_222 | any ideas? im really in a bind.. this is my home server with 2.5tb of data and his issue has stumped me lol | 02:54 |
computerwiz_222 | this* | 02:54 |
Jeeves_ | What does it say before you go into initramfs? | 02:56 |
computerwiz_222 | various mount errors such as: mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed. no such file or directory | 02:58 |
computerwiz_222 | the livecd revealed that all the partitions appear fine.. no dead hard drives here | 02:59 |
Jeeves_ | Maybe your UUID in your fstab is screwed up? | 03:00 |
computerwiz_222 | do you have any suggestions for fixing this? or links to point me in the right direction. | 03:01 |
=== WinstonSmith_ is now known as WinstonSmith | ||
Jeeves_ | computerwiz_222: I think you need to have another look at your fstab | 03:02 |
Jeeves_ | I think it cannot mount / because there is an error of some sort | 03:03 |
computerwiz_222 | sure thing, I'll check it out. | 03:03 |
StrangeCharm | how do i use rm to remove every file whose name matches a particular pattern inside a directory and it's subdirectories? say, i want to remove *.txt in /malarkey , and also /malarkey/stuff, and /malarkey/junk | 03:03 |
Jeeves_ | StrangeCharm: man find | 03:03 |
computerwiz_222 | Thanks, I'll let you know. | 03:03 |
StrangeCharm | thanks Jeeves_ | 03:05 |
Jeeves_ | np | 03:06 |
computerwiz_222 | oh my god thank you so much!!! I'm back in business. | 03:21 |
Jeeves_ | computerwiz_222: Good. What was wrong? | 03:24 |
computerwiz_222 | i added a line to fstab to boot from /dev/sdb5 (root) directly. its a hack but it gets me access to my data fast. | 03:29 |
Jeeves_ | Ah | 03:30 |
Jeeves_ | But now your raid is probably 'broken' | 03:30 |
computerwiz_222 | nope mdadm all checks out somehow | 03:31 |
Jeeves_ | Well ok :) | 03:32 |
computerwiz_222 | boy... dont touch a server for months and the dust really piles up... gotta clean this up tomorrow | 03:32 |
computerwiz_222 | this thing went down last night and it was too late to fix it.. so today i went out to ge my new tetra2 android tablet and all my hd media is locked up on the server lol | 03:35 |
computerwiz_222 | get* | 03:35 |
Delerium_ | Wondering... Does Ubuntu comes built-in some kind of firewall?! I installed apache for my new domain name and I can't see to connect using the domain name, but it works with the IP | 05:31 |
Psi-Jack | Not sure it comes default or not, depends on installation options, but yes, there's that piece of crap ufw. | 05:33 |
Psi-Jack | But, if it works with the IP, it's not firewall. | 05:34 |
Psi-Jack | Check iptables -L -n | 05:34 |
Delerium_ | Psi-Jack: can you try www.elezium.com please? | 05:34 |
Psi-Jack | Verify, is 67.70.32.65 correct? | 05:34 |
Delerium_ | yup | 05:34 |
Psi-Jack | It works. | 05:35 |
Delerium_ | got ya | 05:35 |
Delerium_ | Thanks | 05:35 |
Psi-Jack | This is the default web page for this server. | 05:35 |
Delerium_ | yes, didn't put much yte | 05:35 |
Psi-Jack | Much? heh, you've not put anything, yet. :p | 05:35 |
Delerium_ | hahah! | 05:35 |
Delerium_ | Just building a home lab ;) | 05:35 |
Delerium_ | Thanks Psi-Jack for you help, I'm leaving | 05:47 |
Psi-Jack | Don't make any meth. | 05:48 |
Delerium_ | Just enough ;) | 05:51 |

jussi | good morning shai | 08:09 |
jussi | :) | 08:09 |
shai__ | Hi :) | 08:09 |
shai__ | Should I repeat the question from #ubuntu? | 08:09 |
jussi | wait a sec | 08:10 |
shai__ | np | 08:10 |
jussi | shai__: you can simulate an apt-get command with -s | 08:11 |
jussi | -s, --simulate, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon, --no-act | 08:11 |
jussi | No action; perform a simulation of events that would occur but do not actually change the system. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Simulate. | 08:11 |
shai__ | Right, but I would like to read on every update, before actually (even in simulation) installing them | 08:11 |
jussi | -u, --show-upgraded | 08:12 |
jussi | Show upgraded packages; Print out a list of all packages that are to be upgraded. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Show-Upgraded. | 08:12 |
shai__ | I see... | 08:12 |
jussi | shai__: is that what you are after? or am I missing your point? | 08:12 |
shai__ | And what command would make sure that only those 7 packages are installed and not the rest of the packages? | 08:12 |
shai__ | I'm not sure this is what I'm after just yet.. I need to check ... | 08:13 |
twb | shai__: I use -s for that | 08:13 |
shai__ | But my main concern is, that I don't want to upgrade packages which are used in production (LAMP), unless those are security updates and then, I want to review them first. | 08:13 |
shai__ | But -s is "simulation" and not "security" ... | 08:14 |
twb | shai__: IMO you'd be better off doing the reverse. | 08:14 |
shai__ | meaning? | 08:14 |
twb | A security update is unlikely to bring in a bug | 08:14 |
twb | A feature update is VERY likely to bring in a bug | 08:14 |
twb | Thus, reviewing and rejecting updates from the latter category unless you REALLY need them is useful. | 08:15 |
shai__ | Exactly! | 08:15 |
shai__ | This is why I ONLY want to install security updates on production server. | 08:15 |
shai__ | Thus, I want a way to make sure that my update/upgrade/safe-upgrade command will ONLY install security updates and nothing else. | 08:15 |
twb | shai__: then it's simple | 08:16 |
twb | shai__: only refer to lucid and lucid-security in your sources.list | 08:16 |
gcs_ | shai__: Let me ask, do you run a non-stable version of Ubuntu on a production server? | 08:16 |
shai__ | No. | 08:16 |
twb | shai__: feature updates will never appear in lucid nor in lucid-security -- they appear only in -updates and -backports | 08:16 |
gcs_ | shai__: Then all updates you are going to get is security or stability fixes. | 08:16 |
shai__ | 20 packages can be updated. | 08:17 |
shai__ | 7 updates are security updates. | 08:17 |
twb | *strictly* speaking policy probably allows updates to -security that fix bugs that cause massive data loss, too | 08:17 |
twb | shai__: pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy" | 08:17 |
shai__ | http://pastebin.com/Dqb2xk7P | 08:18 |
gcs_ | twb: shai__ wants them as well. | 08:18 |
twb | shai__: "Your paste has triggered our automatic SPAM protection filter. This happens when too many links are detected in a paste." | 08:18 |
twb | Try "apt-cache policy | pastebinit -b http://paste.debian.net/" | 08:18 |
shai__ | I don't have 'pastebinit' | 08:19 |
gcs_ | Also, speaking in Debian terms, security upgrades goes to normal updates on point releases. | 08:19 |
shai__ | I'm kinda confused... | 08:20 |
shai__ | :) | 08:20 |
twb | shai__: then manually use a different pastebin | 08:20 |
gcs_ | twb: Just enter the capcha, you'll see the policy. | 08:20 |
twb | gcs_: I am not able to do that | 08:20 |
gcs_ | twb: ? | 08:20 |
shai__ | http://paste.debian.net/hidden/f908d6fa/ | 08:20 |
twb | shai__: thank you. | 08:20 |
gcs_ | twb: Btw, he has a mix of Karmic and Lucid source lines, including updates. | 08:21 |
twb | shai__: see, you have -updates enabled | 08:21 |
shai__ | Hmm... this isn't the correct output :) | 08:21 |
shai__ | This is an amazon instance and not a production server.. hold on | 08:21 |
twb | shai__: maybe you have stuff in sources.list.d that you forgot about | 08:21 |
shai__ | http://paste.debian.net/hidden/fffd9e93/ | 08:22 |
shai__ | There you go | 08:22 |
twb | shai__: ok, again you have -updates enabled :-) | 08:22 |
shai__ | And that's not what I want? | 08:23 |
gcs_ | shai__: Stupid idea, but would you subscribe to -security? | 08:23 |
twb | shai__: -updates is feature updates; -security is security updates | 08:23 |
shai__ | I have ... | 08:23 |
shai__ | I get emails on security updates | 08:23 |
twb | shai__: if you don't want the former, simply remove it from sources.list | 08:23 |
gcs_ | shai__: When you get a security notification, you can install that pakcage only after evaluation. | 08:24 |
shai__ | I do want to be updates on it... | 08:24 |
shai__ | I just don't want to install them when I run my aptitude/apt-get command | 08:24 |
twb | shai__: hm, then I guess you could pin a=lucid-updates to -1, which will prevent them ever being installed without explicit OK | 08:24 |
gcs_ | shai__: Well, if you don't want to install them, why have it in sources.list ? | 08:24 |
shai__ | It says I have 7 security updates. I want to run my aptitude/apt-get command and have it only install (show me first ie. dry run) the 7 sec. updates | 08:25 |
shai__ | gcs_: to be notified. I can't just ignore them. I need to know they are there and are needed. | 08:25 |
shai__ | don't cost me none either .. so why not :) | 08:25 |
shai__ | lol .. pastebin only wanted me to enter a 3-digit captcha code to authorized the paste... | 08:26 |
shai__ | http://pastebin.com/Dqb2xk7P | 08:26 |
shai__ | :) | 08:26 |

kaushal | hi | 11:45 |
kaushal | Are there any tools to check for disk errors | 11:45 |
kaushal | I see high wa | 11:45 |
kaushal | I am on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS | 11:45 |
twb | kaushal: smartmontools | 11:46 |
kaushal | ok | 11:46 |
kaushal | I did that | 11:46 |
kaushal | It doesnot start | 11:46 |
twb | kaushal: as the documentation indicates, smartmontools provides both a daemon and a CLI for direct use. | 11:47 |
kaushal | * Restarting S.M.A.R.T. daemon smartd [fail] | 11:47 |
twb | Use smartctl as the documentation directs to begin a self-test, then when it has completed use smartctl again to inspect the results | 11:47 |
kaushal | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/548204/ | 11:50 |
twb | kaushal: "/dev/cciss/c0d0p1" means you're running cheapo hardware raid | 11:51 |
twb | i.e. you are fucked. | 11:52 |
kaushal | ok | 11:52 |
kaushal | twb: so what has to be done now ? | 11:52 |
twb | Obviously you can turn the machine off, put the drive in something else, and run smartctl on that | 11:53 |
twb | But I assume you don't want to turn off a production server | 11:53 |
kaushal | yeah | 11:53 |
_ruben | raid implies multiple redundant disks, so if they're hotswappable... | 11:53 |
kaushal | so how would i know whether its a harddisk issue | 11:54 |
kaushal | top says high wa | 11:54 |
kaushal | I ran ./check_cciss-1.8 -v | 11:55 |
kaushal | RAID OK: Smart Array P410i in Slot 0 (Embedded) array A logicaldrive 1 (279.4 GB, RAID 0, OK) array B logicaldrive 2 (279.4 GB, RAID 0, OK) [Controller Status: OK Cache Status: OK] | 11:55 |
_ruben | high wa has 2 common causes: dying disks or overloaded disks | 11:55 |
kaushal | Please suggest further | 11:55 |
twb | kaushal: presumably you've already checked dmesg for suspicious warnings? | 11:55 |
kaushal | yes | 11:55 |
twb | Ahaha, RAID 0? | 11:55 |
_ruben | raid0 aint raid | 11:55 |
gobbe | raid0 in production server? :-o | 11:55 |
twb | Maybe he's using it for a reeaaaaaly big swap partition | 11:56 |
kaushal | its RAID 10 | 11:56 |
twb | Actually never mind, swap stripes internally anyway | 11:56 |
gobbe | well anyway, using cheap raid-cards in production server is quite big mistake | 11:56 |
_ruben | that doesn't say raid10, unless you're doing software raid1 over the raid0 luns | 11:57 |
twb | Technically cciss is expensive, it just isn't any good | 11:57 |
twb | It's HP's line of crappy hardware raid | 11:57 |
kaushal | fuck HP | 11:57 |
gobbe | yep | 11:58 |
twb | hear, hear | 11:58 |
gobbe | either proper raid or then software-raid | 11:58 |
gobbe | proper hw-raid | 11:58 |
kaushal | fuck HP ASSHOLES | 11:59 |
kaushal | gobbe: so what hardware RAID has to be used ? | 12:00 |
kaushal | I mean which make | 12:00 |
gobbe | kaushal: 3ware | 12:01 |
kaushal | ok | 12:02 |
kaushal | what does cciss mean ? | 12:02 |
patdk-lap | cciss is the name of the hp raid stuff | 12:03 |
patdk-lap | I haven't had any issues with my smartarray stuff, but then I don't have any P410's | 12:03 |
patdk-lap | all mine are in raid1 config though, with sas 15k drives, get a good 500iops out of them | 12:04 |
DigitalFlux | Hi Guys | 12:18 |
DigitalFlux | Anybody here worked with KickStart/Ubuntu before ? | 12:18 |
gobbe | ask the question | 12:23 |
DigitalFlux | gobbe: I used the autopart statement in a kickstart file to bootstrap Ubuntu server 10.4.1, however during the installation it stops to ask if this is the correct partition scheme that i want, i want a fully automated installation with no human intervention required | 12:35 |
DigitalFlux | so i need to automatically answer this screen with yes | 12:35 |
pmatulis | DigitalFlux: not sure about kickstart but this is possible with the preseed method | 12:37 |
DigitalFlux | pmatulis: Hmm | 12:37 |
DigitalFlux | Seems like it used to work with 9.10 | 12:40 |
DigitalFlux | But not with Lucid | 12:40 |
DigitalFlux | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kickseed/+bug/537421 | 12:40 |
uvirtbot | Launchpad bug 537421 in kickseed "automatic partitioning within kickstart does not work" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 12:40 |
gobbe | yep | 12:46 |
gobbe | needs to be fixed | 12:46 |
jussi | hrm, Ive an issue with my server, I can login with sftp, but logging in with ssh it just hangs after I enter the password | 13:10 |
pmatulis | jussi: check the server logs | 13:13 |
jussi | its really strange, /var/log is coming up empty, but Im logged in as root. | 13:14 |
pmatulis | jussi: no files under /var/log? | 13:14 |
jussi | thats correct | 13:14 |
pmatulis | jussi: did you set up this server? | 13:15 |
jussi | pmatulis: no, its a vps, came with ubuntu set up. | 13:15 |
jussi | I did add users etc | 13:15 |
gobbe | jussi: you should turn to your vps provider, /var/log _should_ have several files | 13:16 |
jussi | yes, it should - seems its not loading the content there (Im trying the cli sftp client right now) | 13:17 |
jussi | its hanging on "ls" in /var/log | 13:17 |
gobbe | interesting... | 13:17 |
jussi | yes, its very strange | 13:18 |
pmatulis | jussi: pastebin output to 'dh -Th'? | 13:18 |
jussi | pmatulis: I dont have any shell access...- | 13:18 |
pmatulis | jussi: ah | 13:18 |
jussi | just sftp | 13:19 |
pmatulis | jussi: correction anyway: 'df -Th' | 13:19 |
pmatulis | jussi: i think the provider is shoving all their machine logs somewhere else | 13:19 |
jussi | is there anyway to run a script at boot? (I can reboot the script, perhaps I can drop something somewhere with sftp to get some diagnostics=) | 13:19 |
jussi | err, I can reboot the machine | 13:20 |
pmatulis | jussi: i would just contact your provider | 13:21 |
jussi | ok | 13:21 |
ubuntino | hi | 13:43 |

gobbe | please be little bit more specific, it's quite hard to help withoit knowing more :-D | 13:45 |
ubuntino | I' M italian one moment please | 13:45 |
patdk-wk | his server won't power on :) | 13:45 |

gobbe | patdk-wk: :D | 13:46 |
ubuntino | yes | 13:49 |
ubuntino | ok | 13:49 |
ubuntino | I would try with you the operation of the mail server | 13:50 |
ubuntino | some directive? | 13:50 |
ubuntino | i installed sudo apt-get -y install postfix postfix-ldap spamassassin dovecot-pop3d dovecot-imapd mailscanner | 13:51 |
ubuntino | but certainly misconfigured | 13:51 |
ubuntino | I do not know what the ldap server? | 13:52 |
ubuntino | what is the name | 13:52 |
ubuntino | please help me | 13:53 |
gobbe | why do you want ldap-server? | 13:53 |
gobbe | isn't plain postfix enough? | 13:53 |
binBASH | ubuntino: fix config with dpkg-reconfigure postfix | 13:54 |
binBASH | ;) | 13:54 |
gobbe | well....i don't get idea of installing postfix with ldap, if you don't have any need for that | 13:55 |
ubuntino | ok now to test the proper operation? | 13:56 |
ubuntino | a no ldap with postfix? | 13:56 |
gobbe | well. why did you install it at first? | 13:57 |
gobbe | did you have reason for it? | 13:57 |
gobbe | were you reading somekind of howto? | 13:57 |
ubuntino | ubuntu guide | 13:57 |
gobbe | url? | 13:57 |
ubuntino | http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Server/Mail | 13:57 |
ubuntino | now remove ldap ok? | 13:58 |
gobbe | apt-get remove | 13:58 |
ubuntino | ok done | 13:59 |
ubuntino | Now to check the operation? | 13:59 |
gobbe | check what operation? | 14:00 |
ubuntino | what do you think of a 'telnet localhost 25' | 14:00 |
ubuntino | to see if it works | 14:01 |
gobbe | you can do it | 14:01 |
gobbe | if you want | 14:01 |
ubuntino | and now | 14:02 |
ubuntino | I see nothing | 14:02 |
gobbe | well, your server is not up | 14:02 |
gobbe | did you restart it? | 14:02 |
ubuntino | postfix? | 14:03 |
ubuntino | restart postfix? | 14:03 |
gobbe | you should read the whole howto | 14:04 |
gobbe | and do like it says | 14:04 |
ubuntino | already done, but nothing | 14:04 |

gobbe | postfix is quite trivial to setup | 14:28 |
ubuntino | my main job is to repair digital clocks, with a guide you would succeed? | 14:28 |
gobbe | depends on guide | 14:29 |
ubuntino | I installed postfix and it works now I want to go ahead | 14:29 |
gobbe | if it's step by step, then yes | 14:29 |
gobbe | what means go ahead? what do you want to do now? | 14:29 |
gobbe | or what is the goal | 14:29 |
ubuntino | such as ubuntu | 14:29 |
gobbe | you might understand that it's quite hard to give help without enough information | 14:30 |
ubuntino | ok | 14:30 |

Liked | Ok | 15:31 |
Liked | Hi | 15:31 |
Liked | I need some support for Ubuntu Server | 15:32 |
Liked | so I ordered a VPS off a site | 15:32 |
Liked | and they have given me root | 15:32 |
Liked | and I told them to install | 15:32 |
Liked | Ubuntu Server | 15:32 |
Liked | I think it was Ubuntu 8 | 15:33 |
Liked | anyway | 15:33 |
Liked | what commands do I use in SSH | 15:33 |
Liked | to install a decent GUI | 15:33 |
Liked | preferably Gnome | 15:33 |
KurtKraut | Liked, if it is meant to be a server, you should install Gnome. | 15:34 |
Liked | my question is, how? | 15:34 |
Pici | You mean "shouldn't" | 15:34 |
Liked | oh | 15:34 |
Liked | so what would be better? | 15:34 |
KurtKraut | Liked, if it is meant to be a server, you shouldn't install Gnome. | 15:34 |
Liked | What would be the best GUI | 15:34 |
Liked | for a server | 15:34 |
Liked | ? | 15:34 |
Liked | XFCE? | 15:34 |
KurtKraut | Liked, in fact, if it is meant to be a server, you shouldn't install a GUI. | 15:34 |
Liked | but say I felt... compelled to. | 15:35 |
Pici | Most people don't use any graphical environment on a server, especially on a VPS. | 15:35 |
Liked | the VPS is of good spec. | 15:35 |
Liked | 2gb ram | 15:35 |
Pici | How were you going to connect to it to see the screen? | 15:35 |
Liked | through VNC | 15:35 |
Pici | If you're so compelled to do it, then install whatever you want. | 15:36 |
KurtKraut | Liked, many people will point out that withouth GUI, you'd save plenty resources for the daily server activities. But even if performance is not an issue, you shouldn't use GUI in a server. | 15:36 |
gobbe | Liked: well if you want gnome, then install it with apt-get? | 15:36 |
KurtKraut | Liked, none of the tipical server activities (like being an HTTP server, FTP server, e-mail server etc.), none of them you'll be able to administer, configure or even turn on or off throught a GUI. UNIX-like servers weren't made to be used with a GUI. | 15:37 |
patdk-wk | apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 15:38 |
KurtKraut | Liked, you may install it, you may use it, you may access it remotely but you'll only get a poor desktop experience. If you want to try Ubuntu, just use a LiveCD. | 15:38 |
patdk-wk | but really that isn't a ubuntu-server question | 15:38 |
patdk-wk | unless he wanted a remote desktop, I have done that sometimes, for testing different things, but then, it wasn't meant to be a server anyways | 15:39 |
pmatulis | Liked: 2GB is not a lot for running a graphical environment. you'll also need memory for the server portion | 15:39 |
Liked | patdk-wk: I was thinking of a remote desktop I guess. | 15:39 |
patdk-wk | ya, not server related question | 15:39 |
pmatulis | Liked: you may consider a light window manager such as openbox but the best option is to learn the command line | 15:41 |
Liked | pmatulis: Thanks I guess | 15:42 |
Liked | I did consider openbox | 15:42 |
AndyGraybeal | maybe o/t but i'd like to rsync some files from a remote host (one i don't control). it's got our website on it and i want to make sure i have it backed up somewhere. i'm doing: rsync -avz user@www.remotehost.com:~/directory /srv/other_host_backup/www.remotehost.com | 15:47 |
AndyGraybeal | one problem i'm having it says "bash: rsync: command not found" on the remote host. i figured i only needed rsync on my local host to do this operation. | 15:48 |
AndyGraybeal | any ideas? | 15:48 |
uvirtbot | New bug: #695055 in clamav (main) "package clamav-milter 0.96.3 dfsg-2ubuntu1.0.10.04.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/695055 | 15:51 |
pmatulis | AndyGraybeal: no, it needs to be installed on both sides | 15:54 |
AndyGraybeal | pmatulis: why do you think it's telling me 'rsync: command not found" do i have some syntax wrong? | 15:55 |
RoyK | AndyGraybeal: unless you're rsyincing over nfs, it needs to be installed on both sides | 15:55 |
AndyGraybeal | not nfs, i don't have control of the remote host :( | 15:56 |
AndyGraybeal | can i do something like a wget instead? if rsync is out of the question? | 15:56 |
AndyGraybeal | or scp? | 15:56 |
AndyGraybeal | i guess scp would be better. | 15:56 |
pmatulis | AndyGraybeal: scp is a good option, yes | 15:56 |
AndyGraybeal | okay, thank you much. | 15:57 |
pmatulis | AndyGraybeal: but if you will be doing the backup often then rsync is the best. i'm surprised you have access to back up files but still incapable of installing rsync | 15:57 |
AndyGraybeal | pmatulis: my host i control, i'm trying to rsync the remote host; which doesn't have rsync. why are you surprised? is there something i'm missing? | 15:58 |
RoyK | AndyGraybeal: you should be able to compile rsync on the host with only user rights | 16:00 |
RoyK | AndyGraybeal: also, the sysadmin might just have forgotten it | 16:01 |
AndyGraybeal | RoyK: lemme talk to sysadmin, i swear i rsync'd earlier this year. | 16:01 |
pmatulis | AndyGraybeal: is the remote end a ubuntu machine? | 16:01 |
AndyGraybeal | naw, it's some old fedora machine or it used to be... lemme check | 16:04 |
AndyGraybeal | i think they just re-installed | 16:04 |
AndyGraybeal | we had 2 days of downtime just recently, | 16:04 |
AndyGraybeal | i don't even have access to 'who'! | 16:07 |
AndyGraybeal | or uname | 16:07 |
AndyGraybeal | any other commands i can use to find out what my host is running aside from uname? | 16:07 |
AndyGraybeal | it's got bash. | 16:07 |
patdk-wk | heh, doubt you can use cat /etc/issue; cat /etc/motd; cat /etc/lsb-release | 16:08 |
AndyGraybeal | none of them work :) | 16:09 |
AndyGraybeal | okay, unimportant, i asked for perms to rsync. waiting on response. i'm gonna find something else to do. | 16:10 |
patdk-wk | cat /etc/redhat-release | 16:10 |
patdk-wk | :) | 16:10 |
AndyGraybeal | k lemme try | 16:11 |
AndyGraybeal | nope | 16:11 |
AndyGraybeal | it is redhat based, there is rpms | 16:12 |
AndyGraybeal | it doesnt matter :) | 16:13 |
pmatulis | AndyGraybeal: figure out the release by the rpm versions | 16:14 |
AndyGraybeal | enough stop :) | 16:16 |
AndyGraybeal | i'm going to wrk on something else and hope the admin gives me access to rsync | 16:16 |
AndyGraybeal | thank you though for your persistence | 16:16 |

Karti | Hi all, wondering if someone could give me a few pointers with NFS from a client | 17:07 |
Karti | It is set up on my desktopm but I don't have write access | 17:07 |
gobbe | what does your /etc/exports say | 17:11 |
patdk-wk | gobbe, assuming he is using nfs2/3 :) | 17:22 |
gobbe | patdk-wk: well, same file is used with nfs4, so what's point ;) | 17:23 |
gobbe | what's the point =) | 17:24 |
gobbe | it's hard to type with n900 | 17:25 |
patdk-wk | hmm, didn't realized nfs4 used it | 17:25 |
skorv | i'm a newcomer to ubuntu server.... small question: To LVM or not to LVM at install? | 17:25 |
gobbe | lvm | 17:25 |
patdk-wk | I only looked at nfs4 alittle, before I was annoying by how you have to get it working | 17:25 |
Karti | gobbe, it says - /srv/nfs/Linux *(rw,sync) | 17:25 |
gobbe | i don't see any point not to use lvm | 17:25 |
patdk-wk | skorv, what will it be? | 17:26 |
patdk-wk | if your just going make it one big system, just don't bother | 17:26 |
patdk-wk | if you plan to ever expand or resize things, and stuff, defently lvm | 17:26 |
skorv | domain server | 17:26 |
patdk-wk | domain server? you mean, dns server? | 17:26 |
gobbe | Karti: do you get error messages? what are rights to actual directory (/srv/nfs/linux) | 17:26 |
skorv | same role as a windows server | 17:26 |
skorv | primary domain server | 17:27 |
patdk-wk | in that case diskspace won't be an issue, unless your running filesystems on it | 17:27 |
gobbe | well, in server environment i don't see any idea not to use lvm | 17:27 |
patdk-wk | then you probably want lvm | 17:27 |
skorv | web server will work on another machine | 17:27 |
patdk-wk | gobbe, lvm has screwed me over many times, in vm's :) | 17:27 |
gobbe | patdk-wk: :-) | 17:28 |
skorv | i've got a fresh install (no LVM) for my server | 17:28 |
patdk-wk | so most of the time I don't use lvm's, except if I'm working with raw drives that I will want to adjust | 17:28 |
patdk-wk | just the moving lvm from machine to machine, expecially when they are named the same, gets lvm really screwy in the head :) | 17:28 |
gobbe | patdk-wk: i'v been using lvm's for several years, without any problems | 17:28 |
gobbe | problems are 100% times with administrator, not lvm itself :) | 17:29 |
Karti | gobbe, drwxr-xr-x 3 root root | 17:29 |
patdk-wk | ya, been using them for 5 years no, no real issues, except for all the rhel vm's | 17:29 |
gobbe | Karti: and. do you get any errors? | 17:29 |
skorv | well... thanks i'll be ok with no LVM | 17:30 |
Karti | only in the fact that I can't read or write to the folders once it has been mounted in fstab | 17:30 |
gobbe | Karti: what is the mount command? | 17:30 |
skorv | how good will the server work with a modem.... enouth to make it a fax server as well? | 17:30 |
Karti | gobbe, my fstab is: | 17:31 |
Karti | 192.168.220.12:/srv/nfs/Linux /home/jim/Desktop/Network nfs default00 | 17:31 |
gobbe | and if you try to write you get error? | 17:32 |
Karti | gobbe, the create folder and document are greyed out | 17:33 |
gobbe | Karti: can you try it from terminal? | 17:33 |
milligan | I have a bunch of 32x32 images. Is there any easy way of combining them into one image so I can use them as a SpriteSheet ? | 17:34 |
Karti | gobbe, mkdir: cannot create directory `John': Permission denied | 17:34 |
gobbe | Karti: whatabout sudo mkdir | 17:34 |
Karti | gobbe, still the same | 17:35 |
patdk-wk | he doesn't have, norootsquash, so root not allowed | 17:35 |
gobbe | uuhyea | 17:35 |
gobbe | sorry | 17:35 |
patdk-wk | check permissions on the nfs server | 17:35 |
gobbe | yep | 17:35 |
patdk-wk | make sure john has write access | 17:36 |
gobbe | it's permission issue | 17:36 |
gobbe | give write permissions to everyone if you want to share it with everyone | 17:36 |
Karti | many thanks I will try and give it to a group of users... | 17:36 |
Karti | brb | 17:36 |
skorv | how do i check the hardware status (fax modem) if its ok and recongized | 17:37 |
skorv | internal modem in my case | 17:37 |
patdk-wk | skorv, hopefully it's a real faxmodem, and not a softmodem | 17:37 |
patdk-wk | oh softmodem, heh, going have to find drivers for it I bet | 17:37 |
gobbe | softmodems are quite hell | 17:38 |
skorv | i really dont know... | 17:38 |
patdk-wk | well, we can't help you if you dn't know the model of the modem | 17:38 |
patdk-wk | lspci lsusb, ... can help with that | 17:39 |
skorv | gimme a sec | 17:39 |
skorv | Communication controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. HSF 56k HSFi Modem | 17:40 |
skorv | thats what it says | 17:41 |
skorv | guess its a soft modem | 17:42 |
gobbe | sounds like | 17:43 |
skorv | but at least its a known one P | 17:43 |

skorv | yea... thats for x86... not x64... i had to adapt | 18:22 |
gobbe | yes, 64bit might cause trouble | 18:23 |

sieson | gobbe: I have to do something in the script? isn't there a way to stop cron from running a script currently running? | 18:59 |

* Slyboots is wondering; is there a way to get wget to .. eh.. not quite sure how to explain teh problem | 20:26 | |
gobbe | well try | 20:27 |
gobbe | without trying it's quite impossible to answer | 20:27 |
Slyboots | Got a link to download something from amazon; so I copied the URL and pasted it into wget but it doesnt seem to follow the "linking" correctly? | 20:27 |
gobbe | unless answer is 42 | 20:27 |
gobbe | ;) | 20:27 |
Slyboots | It downloads .. something' but its not teh file I wanted.. | 20:27 |
gobbe | Slyboots: use "-marks | 20:27 |
gobbe | Slyboots: wget "http://something" | 20:28 |
Slyboots | Mm.. nope | 20:28 |
Slyboots | Its suppopsed to grab the file "AmazonGSDownloaderSetup.exe" | 20:29 |
gobbe | does it require login? | 20:29 |
Slyboots | But I just get a HTML document | 20:29 |
Slyboots | .. possibly | 20:29 |
gobbe | well that's the reason | 20:29 |
gobbe | you need to get cookie and hack the way | 20:29 |
Slyboots | Hrrr.. | 20:29 |
Slyboots | I'll download it here and send it via scp or something; might be simpler | 20:30 |
Slyboots | Pain in the ass.. :P | 20:31 |
gobbe | yes it is | 20:31 |
RoyK | Slyboots: use links | 20:35 |
RoyK | or lynx | 20:36 |

RoyK | wget won't follow javascript redirects | 20:36 |
Slyboots | The things I have to do to commit fraud | 20:36 |
gobbe | RoyK: but still, if site needs login, you need to get cookie before | 20:36 |

Slyboots | it.. supports mouse-interactions?! | 20:37 |
