[01:05] why i cant run this from everywere /var/etc/newcs.x86 [01:06] i must do it from folder itself [01:06] ./newcs.86 [01:06] ./newcs.x86 [01:06] why? [01:06] wiiflow: b/c that executable is not in your PATH [01:07] how can i make this to be runed from rc.local [01:07] wiiflow, you can give it the full path eg var/etc/./newcs.x86 [01:08] look [01:08] root@Maverick:/var# /var/etc/newcs.x86 [01:08] This is NewCS 1.67 RC1 [Build: 95] - the New CardServer by the Butter-team.. [01:08] Compiled on Jul 14 2009 at 12:13:18 [01:08] Reading Config file from /etc/newcs.xml [01:08] Cannot open config file... quitting [01:08] it opens the newcs.xml just were it is [01:08] dont know why [01:09] well it obviously needs to find the config file [01:09] copy newcs.xml to /etc? [01:09] the point is how to run itself with ubuntu from rc.local [01:10] because it dont run from nowere just from itself folder [01:10] in rc.local do a cd to that folder first [01:10] how? [01:10] this way looks my rc.local [01:10] cd /path/to/folder [01:11] sleep 45 [01:11] sleep 45 [01:11] /var/etc/newcs.x86 [01:11] one sleep [01:11] sleep 45 [01:11] cd /var/etc/ [01:11] /var/etc/newcs.x86 [01:11] should look like this? [01:12] or maybe [01:12] or just newcs.x86 since ur already in that folder7 [01:12] sleep 45 [01:12] cd /var/etc/ [01:12] ./newcs.x86 [01:12] like this [01:12] this looks promising [01:12] lets see [01:12] yes try that out? what ur up to? card sharing? ;) [01:13] yea [01:13] hehehe [01:13] n1 [01:13] used to do that with some frined [01:13] friends* [01:13] and a couple of dreamboxes [01:14] brb [01:17] worked [01:17] :) [01:17] thanks [01:17] ur welcome [01:18] :) [01:20] i wish you a lotta channels hehe [01:25] i have my owns cards [01:25] :) [02:29] This might be a bit off topic. But... What is the best place to buy a domain at a low price? [02:31] best is a matter of opinion [02:31] I use mydomain.com, they've been good so far [02:36] cool. I'm looking into getting some kind of affordable cloud hosting to install ubuntu. [02:39] much ubuntu-ltsp experience here? [02:48] hello, i have a support question relating to a boot issue. [02:49] computerwiz_222: Ask your question, and it might be answered :) [02:50] 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. [02:51] raid1 [02:54] 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] this* [02:56] What does it say before you go into initramfs? [02:58] various mount errors such as: mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed. no such file or directory [02:59] the livecd revealed that all the partitions appear fine.. no dead hard drives here [03:00] Maybe your UUID in your fstab is screwed up? [03:01] do you have any suggestions for fixing this? or links to point me in the right direction. === WinstonSmith_ is now known as WinstonSmith [03:02] computerwiz_222: I think you need to have another look at your fstab [03:03] I think it cannot mount / because there is an error of some sort [03:03] sure thing, I'll check it out. [03:03] 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] StrangeCharm: man find [03:03] Thanks, I'll let you know. [03:05] thanks Jeeves_ [03:06] np [03:21] oh my god thank you so much!!! I'm back in business. [03:24] computerwiz_222: Good. What was wrong? [03:29] 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. [03:30] Ah [03:30] But now your raid is probably 'broken' [03:31] nope mdadm all checks out somehow [03:32] Well ok :) [03:32] boy... dont touch a server for months and the dust really piles up... gotta clean this up tomorrow [03:35] 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] get* [05:31] 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 [05:33] Not sure it comes default or not, depends on installation options, but yes, there's that piece of crap ufw. [05:34] But, if it works with the IP, it's not firewall. [05:34] Check iptables -L -n [05:34] Psi-Jack: can you try www.elezium.com please? [05:34] Verify, is 67.70.32.65 correct? [05:34] yup [05:35] It works. [05:35] got ya [05:35] Thanks [05:35] This is the default web page for this server. [05:35] yes, didn't put much yte [05:35] Much? heh, you've not put anything, yet. :p [05:35] hahah! [05:35] Just building a home lab ;) [05:47] Thanks Psi-Jack for you help, I'm leaving [05:48] Don't make any meth. [05:51] Just enough ;) [05:55] :P [08:09] good morning shai [08:09] :) [08:09] Hi :) [08:09] Should I repeat the question from #ubuntu? [08:10] wait a sec [08:10] np [08:11] shai__: you can simulate an apt-get command with -s [08:11] -s, --simulate, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon, --no-act [08:11] No action; perform a simulation of events that would occur but do not actually change the system. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Simulate. [08:11] Right, but I would like to read on every update, before actually (even in simulation) installing them [08:12] -u, --show-upgraded [08:12] Show upgraded packages; Print out a list of all packages that are to be upgraded. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Show-Upgraded. [08:12] I see... [08:12] shai__: is that what you are after? or am I missing your point? [08:12] And what command would make sure that only those 7 packages are installed and not the rest of the packages? [08:13] I'm not sure this is what I'm after just yet.. I need to check ... [08:13] shai__: I use -s for that [08:13] 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. [08:14] But -s is "simulation" and not "security" ... [08:14] shai__: IMO you'd be better off doing the reverse. [08:14] meaning? [08:14] A security update is unlikely to bring in a bug [08:14] A feature update is VERY likely to bring in a bug [08:15] Thus, reviewing and rejecting updates from the latter category unless you REALLY need them is useful. [08:15] Exactly! [08:15] This is why I ONLY want to install security updates on production server. [08:15] Thus, I want a way to make sure that my update/upgrade/safe-upgrade command will ONLY install security updates and nothing else. [08:16] shai__: then it's simple [08:16] shai__: only refer to lucid and lucid-security in your sources.list [08:16] shai__: Let me ask, do you run a non-stable version of Ubuntu on a production server? [08:16] No. [08:16] shai__: feature updates will never appear in lucid nor in lucid-security -- they appear only in -updates and -backports [08:16] shai__: Then all updates you are going to get is security or stability fixes. [08:17] 20 packages can be updated. [08:17] 7 updates are security updates. [08:17] *strictly* speaking policy probably allows updates to -security that fix bugs that cause massive data loss, too [08:17] shai__: pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy" [08:18] http://pastebin.com/Dqb2xk7P [08:18] twb: shai__ wants them as well. [08:18] shai__: "Your paste has triggered our automatic SPAM protection filter. This happens when too many links are detected in a paste." [08:18] Try "apt-cache policy | pastebinit -b http://paste.debian.net/" [08:19] I don't have 'pastebinit' [08:19] Also, speaking in Debian terms, security upgrades goes to normal updates on point releases. [08:20] I'm kinda confused... [08:20] :) [08:20] shai__: then manually use a different pastebin [08:20] twb: Just enter the capcha, you'll see the policy. [08:20] gcs_: I am not able to do that [08:20] twb: ? [08:20] http://paste.debian.net/hidden/f908d6fa/ [08:20] shai__: thank you. [08:21] twb: Btw, he has a mix of Karmic and Lucid source lines, including updates. [08:21] shai__: see, you have -updates enabled [08:21] Hmm... this isn't the correct output :) [08:21] This is an amazon instance and not a production server.. hold on [08:21] shai__: maybe you have stuff in sources.list.d that you forgot about [08:22] http://paste.debian.net/hidden/fffd9e93/ [08:22] There you go [08:22] shai__: ok, again you have -updates enabled :-) [08:23] And that's not what I want? [08:23] shai__: Stupid idea, but would you subscribe to -security? [08:23] shai__: -updates is feature updates; -security is security updates [08:23] I have ... [08:23] I get emails on security updates [08:23] shai__: if you don't want the former, simply remove it from sources.list [08:24] shai__: When you get a security notification, you can install that pakcage only after evaluation. [08:24] I do want to be updates on it... [08:24] I just don't want to install them when I run my aptitude/apt-get command [08:24] 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] shai__: Well, if you don't want to install them, why have it in sources.list ? [08:25] 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] gcs_: to be notified. I can't just ignore them. I need to know they are there and are needed. [08:25] don't cost me none either .. so why not :) [08:26] lol .. pastebin only wanted me to enter a 3-digit captcha code to authorized the paste... [08:26] http://pastebin.com/Dqb2xk7P [08:26] :) [10:11] New bug: #694953 in samba (main) "missing i386 libraries on amd64" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/694953 [10:21] i am getting http://pastebin.com/tQCT5M7s when try to execute a dump of a 27G large DB. I did raise mysql timeout values to 864000 e.g. 10 days. Still no use. [11:45] hi [11:45] Are there any tools to check for disk errors [11:45] I see high wa [11:45] I am on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS [11:46] kaushal: smartmontools [11:46] ok [11:46] I did that [11:46] It doesnot start [11:47] kaushal: as the documentation indicates, smartmontools provides both a daemon and a CLI for direct use. [11:47] * Restarting S.M.A.R.T. daemon smartd [fail] [11:47] Use smartctl as the documentation directs to begin a self-test, then when it has completed use smartctl again to inspect the results [11:50] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/548204/ [11:51] kaushal: "/dev/cciss/c0d0p1" means you're running cheapo hardware raid [11:52] i.e. you are fucked. [11:52] ok [11:52] twb: so what has to be done now ? [11:53] Obviously you can turn the machine off, put the drive in something else, and run smartctl on that [11:53] But I assume you don't want to turn off a production server [11:53] yeah [11:53] <_ruben> raid implies multiple redundant disks, so if they're hotswappable... [11:54] so how would i know whether its a harddisk issue [11:54] top says high wa [11:55] I ran ./check_cciss-1.8 -v [11:55] 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] Please suggest further [11:55] kaushal: presumably you've already checked dmesg for suspicious warnings? [11:55] yes [11:55] Ahaha, RAID 0? [11:55] <_ruben> raid0 aint raid [11:55] raid0 in production server? :-o [11:56] Maybe he's using it for a reeaaaaaly big swap partition [11:56] its RAID 10 [11:56] Actually never mind, swap stripes internally anyway [11:56] well anyway, using cheap raid-cards in production server is quite big mistake [11:57] <_ruben> that doesn't say raid10, unless you're doing software raid1 over the raid0 luns [11:57] Technically cciss is expensive, it just isn't any good [11:57] It's HP's line of crappy hardware raid [11:57] fuck HP [11:58] yep [11:58] hear, hear [11:58] either proper raid or then software-raid [11:58] proper hw-raid [11:59] fuck HP ASSHOLES [12:00] gobbe: so what hardware RAID has to be used ? [12:00] I mean which make [12:01] kaushal: 3ware [12:02] ok [12:02] what does cciss mean ? [12:03] cciss is the name of the hp raid stuff [12:03] I haven't had any issues with my smartarray stuff, but then I don't have any P410's [12:04] all mine are in raid1 config though, with sas 15k drives, get a good 500iops out of them [12:18] Hi Guys [12:18] Anybody here worked with KickStart/Ubuntu before ? [12:23] ask the question [12:35] 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] so i need to automatically answer this screen with yes [12:37] DigitalFlux: not sure about kickstart but this is possible with the preseed method [12:37] pmatulis: Hmm [12:40] Seems like it used to work with 9.10 [12:40] But not with Lucid [12:40] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kickseed/+bug/537421 [12:40] Launchpad bug 537421 in kickseed "automatic partitioning within kickstart does not work" [Undecided,Confirmed] [12:46] yep [12:46] needs to be fixed [13:10] 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 [13:13] jussi: check the server logs [13:14] its really strange, /var/log is coming up empty, but Im logged in as root. [13:14] jussi: no files under /var/log? [13:14] thats correct [13:15] jussi: did you set up this server? [13:15] pmatulis: no, its a vps, came with ubuntu set up. [13:15] I did add users etc [13:16] jussi: you should turn to your vps provider, /var/log _should_ have several files [13:17] yes, it should - seems its not loading the content there (Im trying the cli sftp client right now) [13:17] its hanging on "ls" in /var/log [13:17] interesting... [13:18] yes, its very strange [13:18] jussi: pastebin output to 'dh -Th'? [13:18] pmatulis: I dont have any shell access...- [13:18] jussi: ah [13:19] just sftp [13:19] jussi: correction anyway: 'df -Th' [13:19] jussi: i think the provider is shoving all their machine logs somewhere else [13:19] 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=) [13:20] err, I can reboot the machine [13:21] jussi: i would just contact your provider [13:21] ok [13:43] hi [13:43] Ihave problem with server mail [13:43] ask the question [13:44] nothing works [13:45] please be little bit more specific, it's quite hard to help withoit knowing more :-D [13:45] I' M italian one moment please [13:45] his server won't power on :) [13:46] try italian, google language convert :) [13:46] patdk-wk: :D [13:49] yes [13:49] ok [13:50] I would try with you the operation of the mail server [13:50] some directive? [13:51] i installed sudo apt-get -y install postfix postfix-ldap spamassassin dovecot-pop3d dovecot-imapd mailscanner [13:51] but certainly misconfigured [13:52] I do not know what the ldap server? [13:52] what is the name [13:53] please help me [13:53] why do you want ldap-server? [13:53] isn't plain postfix enough? [13:54] ubuntino: fix config with dpkg-reconfigure postfix [13:54] ;) [13:55] well....i don't get idea of installing postfix with ldap, if you don't have any need for that [13:56] ok now to test the proper operation? [13:56] a no ldap with postfix? [13:57] well. why did you install it at first? [13:57] did you have reason for it? [13:57] were you reading somekind of howto? [13:57] ubuntu guide [13:57] url? [13:57] http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Server/Mail [13:58] now remove ldap ok? [13:58] apt-get remove [13:59] ok done [13:59] Now to check the operation? [14:00] check what operation? [14:00] what do you think of a 'telnet localhost 25' [14:01] to see if it works [14:01] you can do it [14:01] if you want [14:02] and now [14:02] I see nothing [14:02] well, your server is not up [14:02] did you restart it? [14:03] postfix? [14:03] restart postfix? [14:04] you should read the whole howto [14:04] and do like it says [14:04] already done, but nothing [14:04] url? [14:05] so is your postfix running? [14:06] what do you advise me to install up to a mail server? [14:06] i advise you to follow that howto [14:06] :) [14:06] this is my screen [14:06] ying ::1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. 220 code-desktop ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu) [14:07] ): [14:07] well it means that your postfix is running [14:07] I am not come to head [14:08] time to enter the users? [14:08] to enter the users? [14:09] yep [14:09] .... [14:12] I have account ubuntino [14:12] to make ubuntino@mioserver.com [14:12] to make ubuntino@myserver.com? [14:13] please please [14:13] ): [14:13] ubuntino: please google for 'linux telnet test smtp' [14:14] ok [14:14] ubuntino: you need to have domain and correct mx-entries to be able to set up mail server [14:15] I have ivancristina.com [14:15] ok [14:16] where I find the entries mx-entries [14:16] from your dns-server [14:16] if you are not familiar how dns and email-servers work, why you are trying to build on?-) [14:17] ubuntino: please continue with telnet testing. MX records are not required for such a test [14:17] okok later on / etc / resolv.conf [14:19] this is my nameserver ns1.netsons.com [14:19] and ns2.netsons.com [14:19] oh well. no more from me [14:19] I do it for study [14:20] I enter them into my server on resolv.conf? [14:20] nameserver? [14:21] no [14:22] someone is willing to teach me also to pay? [14:23] no [14:23] someone is willing to teach me also to pay? [14:24] I want to learn [14:24] you can learn by starting to read documentation [14:24] there's sooooooooo many documents available from google for mailservers [14:24] ubuntino: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/postfix.html [14:24] already [14:28] postfix is quite trivial to setup [14:28] my main job is to repair digital clocks, with a guide you would succeed? [14:29] depends on guide [14:29] I installed postfix and it works now I want to go ahead [14:29] if it's step by step, then yes [14:29] what means go ahead? what do you want to do now? [14:29] or what is the goal [14:29] such as ubuntu [14:30] you might understand that it's quite hard to give help without enough information [14:30] ok [14:31] After postfix dovecot-common is installed [14:31] right? [14:31] ? [14:34] I've posted in the guide is written podo instllare postfix dovecot [14:34] I've posted in the guide that is written after instllare postfix dovecot [14:35] sorry [14:35] I've posted in the guide it says after you install postfix dovecot [15:31] Ok [15:31] Hi [15:32] I need some support for Ubuntu Server [15:32] so I ordered a VPS off a site [15:32] and they have given me root [15:32] and I told them to install [15:32] Ubuntu Server [15:33] I think it was Ubuntu 8 [15:33] anyway [15:33] what commands do I use in SSH [15:33] to install a decent GUI [15:33] preferably Gnome [15:34] Liked, if it is meant to be a server, you should install Gnome. [15:34] my question is, how? [15:34] You mean "shouldn't" [15:34] oh [15:34] so what would be better? [15:34] Liked, if it is meant to be a server, you shouldn't install Gnome. [15:34] What would be the best GUI [15:34]
