[00:26] <cap_00> is there any way to get hardware lights to show HD failure for ubuntu software raid?
[00:53] <cap_00> sudo hdparm -tT /dev/
[00:53] <cap_00> woops
[03:16] <Hypoglybetic> Can someone tell me how to write this: /<LOCALMOUNTPOINT>/<LOCALPATH>, where I want to share /webserver/ folder? I only have 1 HD.
[03:49] <sensae> I'm trying to get public key authentication to work on my ubuntu server install. sshd -ddd is complaining 'missing whitespace'
[03:51] <sensae> I've copied my public key with ssh-copy-id, my permissions are set correctly, my private key works properly on other systems.
[04:04] <jmarsden> sensae: Check the format of the id_rsa file is correct?  That "missing whitespace" thing is (at least sometimes) a problem trying to parse a corrupted id_rsa file.
[04:04] <sensae> jmarsden: I figured it out :) My id_rsa.pub was malformed on the host I copied from
[04:05] <jmarsden> OK, glad you found and fixed it.
[04:06] <mrroth> I created a directory under root using sudo mkdir raid
[04:06] <mrroth> how do I give my current user ownership of it
[04:06] <mrroth> or should I just do chmod 777 raid
[04:46] <qman__> mrroth, chown
[04:55] <veebull> anybody know where I can find some sort of description for the options on the very first screen in the Server install?
[04:55] <veebull> Not finding it in the Server Guide, Install Guide for Alternate installer, or Community Docs
[04:56]  * Datz remembers bookmarking some sort of guide at one time or another
[04:56] <Datz> maybe this will help: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.10-maverick-meerkat-ispconfig-3-p2
[04:57] <Datz> oh, that's page two
[04:57] <Datz> start on page one :)
[04:57] <veebull> Specifically looking for something that covers the differences between the F4 options: Normal install, cloud install, minimal, JEOS, etc.
[04:57] <Datz> http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.10-maverick-meerkat-ispconfig-3
[04:57] <Datz> ah
[04:58] <Datz> is disk space a problem?
[04:58] <Datz> if not, just do normal
[04:58] <veebull> No its not
[04:58] <Datz> otherwise do minimal
[04:59] <veebull> i don't always want to install a lot of extra stuff on a server
[04:59] <Datz> then do minimal, and install what you need later
[04:59] <veebull> Am I being unreasonable in wanting some documentation to explain the available options, and what the differences are?
[04:59] <Datz> !minimal
[05:00] <Datz> !cloud
[05:00] <Datz> I'd go with normal
[05:01] <veebull> thanks, thats not what I'm looking for.
[05:02] <veebull> though the UEC info is good stuff, thanks.
[05:03] <Datz> np, interesting yes.. but not for the average needs :)
[05:05] <veebull> roger that.  seems like thats where the majority of emphasis seems to be these days
[05:06] <Datz> yea, it's new to ubuntu afaik
[05:06] <Datz> with 10.04
[05:13] <mrroth> so I have Disk /dev/sdc: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
[05:13] <mrroth> and Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
[05:13] <mrroth>  and I want to do software raid one, how would I do that
[05:13] <mrroth> in the cli
[05:22] <mrroth> ahh mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=mirror --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
[06:36] <airtonix> ugh i can't change the timestamp format of apache2 errorlogs
[06:39] <mrroth> hi
[06:46] <Adog> hey guys i need a way to access a drive i have slaved in my ubuntu machine from my windows machine in a home network, i heard i have to use samba, so i have it installed, but i have no idea how to configure it
[06:47] <mrroth> hi
[06:48] <mrroth> use webmin or swat
[06:48] <mrroth> sudo apt-cache search swat
[06:48] <Adog> okay i did that
[06:48] <Adog> what do i do now
[06:53] <mrroth> !softwareraid
[07:01] <qman__> Adog, https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html
[07:01] <qman__> also, don't use webmin
[07:02] <qman__> !webmin
[07:03] <airtonix> Adog, just use shares-admin
[07:03] <airtonix> Adog, it should be installed by default on your ubuntu desktop
[07:03] <airtonix> Adog, when you install samba
[07:05] <airtonix> Adog, or you could even install nautilus-share which lets you create user shares from nautilus (which will only be available when the user that created them is logged in)
[07:16] <mrroth> hi in webmin what does thsi mean when i am doing software raid 1 "Force initialisation of RAID?	"\
[07:43] <vetali100> hi everyone, could you please assist
[07:43] <vetali100> i have a problem with wget
[07:44] <Datz> !ask | vetali100
[07:44] <vetali100> ok, thank you
[07:45] <vetali100> I have a problem with wget, and also apt-get, they are unable to download anything. Response from wget: HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found. Full error here: http://pastebin.com/dan4UQvc
[07:46] <vetali100> however when I try to download from web browser, it works fine
[07:46] <Datz> what version of ubuntu?
[07:47] <vetali100> ubuntu server 10.04
[07:47] <vetali100> when i use wget on another PC in the same network, it works there
[07:47] <vetali100> so problem is definetely with my ubuntu
[07:48] <Datz> I'm not sure of the problem myself, works with my copy of 10.04. maybe someone else knows..
[07:58] <vetali100> ok, it was a problem on router. thanks.
[08:38] <chrislabeard> What could be blocking my server from being able to ping my macs using mymac.local
[09:24] <gobbe> chrislabeard: name resolve?
[09:24] <gobbe> chrislabeard: are the names resolving to ips
[09:25] <chrislabeard> How do i check that?
[09:25] <chrislabeard> My macs can see each other but my ubuntu machine can't see my macs
[09:25] <chrislabeard> and mac can't see ubuntu machine
[09:25] <gobbe> have you installed packages to your ubuntu for this purpose?
[09:25] <chrislabeard> yes
[09:26] <chrislabeard> I have avahi-daemon installed
[09:26] <gobbe> it needs also mdns
[09:26] <gobbe> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToZeroconf if you didn't follow this guide
[09:26] <gobbe> anyway, if your ping command doesn't say ip it wont resolve
[09:26] <chrislabeard> http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/ubuntu-as-mac-file-server-and-time-machine-volume/
[09:27] <chrislabeard> followed that guide
[09:27] <chrislabeard> I can connect to the ubuntu computer from my mac using the ip
[09:28] <chrislabeard> but the .local isn't reslolving
[09:28] <gobbe> sounds like mdns is not working
[09:29] <gobbe> have you done firewall changes?
[09:29] <gobbe> mdns needs ports to be opened
[09:30] <chrislabeard> I've enabled 5353
[09:30] <chrislabeard> is it possible that bind is conflicting
[09:30] <gobbe> udp or tcp?
[09:31] <chrislabeard> both
[09:31] <gobbe> can you see inbound traffic to your ubuntu?
[09:32] <chrislabeard> Yes
[09:32] <chrislabeard> I have apache running on it too
[09:33] <gobbe> i mean that can you see mdsns traffic
[09:33] <chrislabeard> How can I check
[09:33] <gobbe> firewall logs
[09:35] <chrislabeard> I see a lot of UFW BLOCK
[09:36] <gobbe> for 5353?
[09:37] <chrislabeard> oh no
[09:38] <chrislabeard> How do i filter it
[09:39] <chrislabeard> isn't there something like | grep port 5353
[10:09] <BrixSat> morning :)
[10:10] <BrixSat> they say there is always a first time, well mine as come my server is consuming a lot of memory (almost double as usual) and i dont know why is there any comand more explenatory than top?
[10:15] <gobbe> so you want to see what are biggest memory eaters?
[10:16] <chrislabeard> Could it be something with the router that my server is on
[10:16] <chrislabeard> Doing with why its not seeing any of the other macs
[10:17] <gobbe> chrislabeard: are macs conencted to router?
[10:17] <BrixSat> yes i want to see who is te boogie man :D
[10:17] <chrislabeard> gobbe: yes
[10:17] <gobbe> chilicuil: well, it could be. what is the answer if you try to ping some mac from ubuntu?
[10:18] <chrislabeard> gobbe: When i do avahi-browse -art this is all i get http://pastebin.com/XVGrkScN
[10:18] <gobbe> BrixSat: top can show that if you sort processes by memory usage
[10:18] <BrixSat> any other "better" than top?
[10:18] <BrixSat> more explenatory
[10:19] <chrislabeard> gobbe: All my other computers are connected via WIFI and my server is using WIred
[10:19] <gobbe> hmmh, what's wrong with top? how it is not explenatory?
[10:19] <gobbe> chrislabeard: it could be the router of course, but you could see if your ubuntu gets any traffic to ports 5353
[10:19] <BrixSat> gobbe:  i would like to see memory in mbs and cpu
[10:20] <BrixSat> top is kind of confussing
[10:20] <BrixSat> for example i would have to sum all the apache threads to get the real apache memory
[10:21] <gobbe> BrixSat: pmap could do that
[10:22] <gobbe> if they are triggered by one mother process
[10:23] <BrixSat> humm pmap is nice when you know wich process is the problem and you want to "debug" it
[10:24] <BrixSat> in my case my server has 1.5 gb mem and is now with 1.6 used (already in burst memory wich is 4 gb)
[10:24] <BrixSat> and normaly it would consume about 0.8 gb mem
[10:24] <gobbe> well, you start with top to see top memory eaters and then you could dig in with pmap
[10:25] <BrixSat> i was looking for something "easier" :p
[10:25] <gobbe> there are few gui tools but they are not server-related so...
[10:26] <BrixSat> ok ill have to do it the hard way :)
[10:29] <chrislabeard> gobbe: It only shows something when I ping the ubuntu machine on the ubuntu machine
[10:29] <gobbe> i'm sure that there are tools, but i'm sorry that i don't know better way :)
[10:29] <gobbe> chrislabeard: what is that something
[10:29] <BrixSat> gobbe:  no prob about that:
[10:29] <chrislabeard> k well when I ping it ... I get this 64 bytes from www.domainname.com (192.168.1.72): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.095 ms
[10:29] <chrislabeard> gobbe: the traffic i get ---- 0.000000 192.168.1.72 -> 224.0.0.251  MDNS Standard query A labeard.local, "QM" question
[10:29] <chrislabeard> gobbe: 0.000343 192.168.1.72 -> 224.0.0.251  MDNS Standard query response A, cache flush 192.168.1.72
[10:30] <BrixSat> gobbe:  htop :D nice one
[10:31] <chrislabeard> gobbe: When I try to ping one of my macs it gives me this --- 117.817437 192.168.1.72 -> 224.0.0.251  MDNS Standard query A chrislabeard.local, "QM" question
[10:32] <chrislabeard> gobbe: never get a response
[10:32] <gobbe> what does actual ping say?
[10:33] <chrislabeard> ping: unknown host chrislabeard.local
[10:33] <gobbe> chrislabeard: you could try to disable firewall for test
[10:33] <gobbe> and see does this happen
[10:34] <chrislabeard> gobbe: still getting unknown host
[10:34] <chrislabeard> What is blocking it from communicating argg
[10:35] <gobbe> it might be that mdns is not working perfectly, i'm not expert on mdns
[10:36] <chrislabeard> would it matter if on I'm on a PPC
[10:38] <chrislabeard> Can I just manually add my server to show up in the finder?
[11:06] <NeedsHelpWithFan> hello everyone, can anyone help me with my fan control? I'm running ubuntu server on an Asus A8JS laptop and I can't seem to control the fans and it overheats everytime it does anything strenuous. currently i get the temperature reading of http://paste.ubuntu.com/554669/ I've tried installing the asusfans package and lm-sensors but I'm unable to get my fans to cool my machine down before it reaches the critical temps a
[11:06] <NeedsHelpWithFan> nd turns itself off.
[11:46] <ruben23> hi guys i have time on my ubuntu-server but its on military time, how do i change its format..?
[11:49] <ruben23> nstead of 19:00- i get 7:00pm
[11:54] <oljas> date +%H:%M
[11:57] <ruben23> oljas: thats the command  could it be permanent..?
[11:58] <oljas> why do you need that?
[11:59] <ruben23>  oljas: im computing a schedule its really hard if its military time- i just want it to be standard.
[12:06] <gobbe> ruben23: am/pm is not military-time :)
[12:06] <ruben23> gobbe: yes i want am and pm format not 19:00
[12:06] <gobbe> aah, ok
[12:07] <gobbe> so you are having european time
[12:07] <gobbe> instead of am/pm
[12:08] <ruben23> yes, help me how to setup it like am/pm
[12:09] <gobbe> http://ccollins.wordpress.com/2009/01/06/how-to-change-date-formats-on-ubuntu/
[12:10] <BrixSat> grrr i cant figure why apache is eating 1gb of ram
[12:10] <BrixSat> http://pastebin.com/CXuQrY04
[12:15] <ruben23> gobbe: sorry i dont undestand the idea on the link, huhuhu, help
[12:19] <a7ndrew> ruben do you mean something like this:
[12:19] <a7ndrew>  date +%r
[12:20] <a7ndrew> i would have though computing anything from 12 hour time would be harder
[12:25] <ruben23> a7ndrew:  i9ll  just5 type in like that..?
[12:28] <a7ndrew> yeah try just typing that at the command line and tell me if its what you were after
[12:29] <ruben23> yes this is
[12:30] <ruben23> so whast next move..?
[12:30] <a7ndrew> where are you seeing a 24 hour time that you'd prefer to see a 12 hour one?
[12:30] <ruben23> when i run date
[12:30] <a7ndrew> ah
[12:31] <a7ndrew> maybe you could just set up an alias
[12:32] <ruben23> what you mean, how to do it.>?
[12:34] <a7ndrew> alias 12date='date +%r'
[12:35] <a7ndrew> add that line to your .bashrc file , although gobbe's suggestion is probably a much better way to do it
[13:50] <DigitalFlux> Hi Guys
[13:50] <DigitalFlux> I am trying to install some packages under Ubunu server
[13:51] <gobbe> hi
[13:51] <DigitalFlux> But i'm having troubles
[13:51] <DigitalFlux> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[13:51] <DigitalFlux>  nova-compute : Depends: python-libvirt but it is not going to be installed
[13:51] <DigitalFlux>                 Depends: libvirt-bin (>= 0.8.1) but it is not going to be installed
[13:52] <DigitalFlux> Aptitude lets me answer some questions .. till i get the packages installed
[13:52] <DigitalFlux> But just want to install them in a non-interactive fashion ..
[13:52] <gobbe> which version?
[13:52] <DigitalFlux> version of which package ?
[13:52] <gobbe> ubuntu
[13:52] <DigitalFlux> 10.10
[13:52] <gobbe> and you are trying to install nova-compute?
[13:53] <DigitalFlux> yes
[13:53] <DigitalFlux> Any hints ?
[13:54] <gobbe> paste output of "sudo apt-get install nova-compute" to pastebin.ubuntu.com
[13:55] <DigitalFlux> okie
[13:56] <DigitalFlux> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/554713/
[13:57] <DigitalFlux> note that i'm using nova's PPA
[13:57] <gobbe> hmmh, ok
[13:59] <gobbe> if you try to install libvirt-bin?
[13:59] <DigitalFlux> let me see
[14:00] <DigitalFlux> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/554714/
[14:02] <gobbe> it seems that you have messed up quite heavily, i think that ppa doen't provide all packages that it should be
[14:02] <gobbe> because for example libparted1.8-10
[14:02] <gobbe> that's not standard packet in ubuntu 10.10
[14:02] <DigitalFlux> Hmm.. i see
[14:02] <DigitalFlux> the point is .. i just want to install them non-interactively, Can i workaround that ?
[14:03] <gobbe> well. you cannot install them until you fix the problem of missing packages
[14:03] <gobbe> why the nova-compute from repos isn't enough?
[14:04] <DigitalFlux> gobbe: they are pretty old
[14:04] <DigitalFlux> don't even work with the current docs
[14:04] <gobbe> you should report this issue to maintainer of the ppa
[14:04] <DigitalFlux> I tried mentioning that at the OpenStack channel, but looks like there is not one active at the moment
[14:05] <DigitalFlux> when i used aptitude
[14:05] <DigitalFlux> I kept answering the questions with n
[14:05] <DigitalFlux> till it got them installed just fine
[14:05] <gobbe> answering n to what questions?
[14:05] <DigitalFlux> will paste it .
[14:09] <DigitalFlux> check it out http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/554717/
[16:28] <plm> Hi al

[16:28] <plm> en_US.utf8
[16:28] <plm> POSIX
[16:29] <plm> I would like add more one locale, how I do that?

[16:58] <plm> gobbe: thanks, works :-)
[19:15] <stlsaint> hey folks i installed 10.04 but whenever the server boots it just sits a grub screen without booting until i hit the enter key on keyboard
[19:15] <stlsaint> the timeout doesnt start even though i believe i have it correct in grub.cfg...is this a 10.04 issue?
[19:16] <gobbe> i have several working 10.04 machines, so wouldn't say its general issue
[19:17] <gobbe> have you made changes to grub.cfg?
[19:17] <stlsaint> no, the timeout was set to 10 seconds
[19:22] <gobbe> you can change that :)
[20:27] <BlaDe^> Can you set specific users/groups to have permissions to execute a file?
[20:27] <gobbe> BlaDe^: yes
[20:28] <gobbe> BlaDe^: acl's
[20:28] <BlaDe^> can you link me?
[20:28] <gobbe> http://beginlinux.com/server_training/server-managment-topics/1038-ubuntu-804-access-control-lists first hit that found :)
[20:28] <gobbe> it seems to include ablut everything
[20:29] <BlaDe^> cheers - i found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions#ACLs but it's not tood etailed
[20:29] <gobbe> basicly you specify mount option
[20:29] <gobbe> and then set them; setfacl-command
[20:30] <BlaDe^> I'm trying to help someone allow only specific users to run php scripts
[20:31] <BlaDe^> so I guess setting up an acl on /usr/bin/php should do it
[20:37] <gobbe> or add those guys to grop
[20:37] <gobbe> group
[20:37] <gobbe> and change php to that group
[20:38] <gobbe> and remove others
[20:46] <stlsaint> hey when making a bridge with brctl where does the config info go into? is it /etc/init.d/networking/interfaces ??
[20:48] <gobbe> /etc/networking/interfaces
[21:13] <chrislabeard_> When configuring your server for a static ip what is the network field refer to?
[21:15] <stlsaint> chrislabeard_: you mean netmask?
[21:15] <chrislabeard_> stlsaint: No i mean network
[21:16] <chrislabeard_> You have address, netmask, network, broadcast and gateway
[21:16] <stlsaint> chrislabeard_: what is your router ip?
[21:17] <chrislabeard_> 10.0.0.1
[21:17] <chrislabeard_> So network would be 10.0.0.0
[21:17] <stlsaint> than your network is everything that your router covers, so:
[21:17] <chrislabeard_> the base line?
[21:17] <stlsaint> yep yep
[21:17] <chrislabeard_> k
[21:17] <chrislabeard_> coolio
[21:19] <LinuxAdmin> hi guys
[21:20] <LinuxAdmin> I'm getting problems with ftp client connecting to my ftp server
[21:20] <LinuxAdmin> when I connect to my server over vpn, everything is ok, but if I turn off vpn I get an error telling that folder listing fails
[21:20] <LinuxAdmin> I can connect but cannot list folders
[21:20] <LinuxAdmin> I cannot see what's happening
[21:20] <LinuxAdmin> can someone help?
[21:21] <LinuxAdmin> my server is vsftpd
[21:21] <stlsaint> LinuxAdmin: sorry i use ssh for everything
[21:23] <chrislabeard_> It keeps saying doesn't have all the variables for eth0/inet
[21:23] <LinuxAdmin> I like ssh but I have to create a user account and with vsftpd server I can create virtual users without any acoun on the system
[21:23] <stlsaint> aye, gotcha
[21:26] <nimrod10`> chrislabeard_, what variables did you set up already ?
[21:26] <nimrod10`> a pastebin would help
[21:26] <chrislabeard_> nimrod10`: What ones are absolutely required?
[21:26] <chrislabeard_> nimrod10`: Can I get away with just doing address, netmask and gateway?
[21:27] <nimrod10`> chrislabeard_, yes you can
[21:27] <chrislabeard_> k cool that worked
[21:28] <nimrod10`> goood
[21:28] <stlsaint> chrislabeard_: i never use network parameter
[21:42] <yann2> hello! Is it possible that the latest security upgrade in libvirt .. broke it?
[23:15] <Cyphur> O/
[23:15] <Cyphur> is there any way to get ubuntu server into a gui? i tried startx but its just the console again
[23:37] <mrroth> hi
[23:37] <mrroth> Cyphur yes
[23:37] <mrroth> use webmin
[23:37] <mrroth> Cyphur use webmin for all yoru server needs
[23:46] <shauno> webmin's rarely a good idea.  'depreciated' would be the most polite way to explain it
[23:47] <mrroth> hi
[23:47] <mrroth> oh it is
[23:47] <mrroth> I jus tinstalled last night to do raid 1
[23:47] <mrroth> and setup samba
[23:48] <mrroth> did I break shit
[23:48] <mrroth> is thier something like webmin but ubuntu friendly
[23:48] <mrroth> also I have a question, I know crash plan backup is free for home use, but I can't seem to find in google were I can download the server
[23:48] <mrroth> that free for none cormecial use
[23:49] <shauno> I think ebox is the closest atm
[23:49] <shauno> !servergui
[23:52] <mrroth> shauno so I can do apt-get isntall ebox
[23:52] <mrroth> reason is I didn't know how to create raid 1 in linux or I forgot
[23:52] <mrroth> or got nervous
[23:53] <mrroth> so I just installed webmin it was 2 am in the morning, i was like I need to get this raid working
[23:53] <mrroth> and installed webmin, got the raid up and running, and then said well since this does samba let me do shares also
[23:53] <shauno> mrroth: I'd probably take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox  .. I've never used it, so the wiki's gonna beat my guesswork
[23:54] <mrroth> have you heard of crash plan
[23:54] <mrroth> the backup stuff I can't seem to find on their website the free home server backup version
