| boota2 | hello, anyone alive? | 01:51 |
| Tm0 | Hi. Can anyone help me set up Bind so i can use my VPS? :p | 01:58 |
| Tm0 | Can anyone help me setup Bind? | 02:01 |
| RoyK | Tm0: google it | 02:03 |
| Tm0 | I did. Suprisingly none of them told me what to do if i had two IP addresses | 02:03 |
| Tm0 | Anyone? | 02:08 |
| boota2 | hello | 02:31 |
| boota2 | if you still need help i'm here and i've got nothing better to do with my time | 02:31 |
| boota2 | so | 02:32 |
| Kaedenn | I'm trying to download Ubuntu 10.10 SE, but I'm getting a cap of 80MiB/sec | 02:52 |
| Kaedenn | Is there a mirror closer to the USA I could use? | 02:53 |
| Kaedenn | Rather than somewhere in the UK | 02:53 |
| boota2 | Is that even a problem? | 02:53 |
| boota2 | It's pretty good speed. | 02:53 |
| Kaedenn | Normally I get 6 to 7 times that. | 02:53 |
| boota2 | Yo mean, like 8 megabytes per second isn't enough? | 02:54 |
| boota2 | Oh shi, what's this unit you used. | 02:55 |
| boota2 | mebibyte, lol | 02:55 |
| Kaedenn | Oh sorry >_< | 02:55 |
| Kaedenn | KiB. | 02:55 |
| Kaedenn | 80KB/sec. | 02:55 |
| boota2 | There is option to choose a mirror by hand. | 02:56 |
| Kaedenn | Gah it's been a long day. >_>. Brain is totally fried, like my server. | 02:56 |
| boota2 | It's ok. | 02:56 |
| Kaedenn | Oh? | 02:56 |
| boota2 | Oh, no. | 02:57 |
| boota2 | There is't | 02:57 |
| Kaedenn | Yeah, I didn't see one. | 02:57 |
| Kaedenn | Well, I restarted the download and now I'm getting like 400KB/sec. | 02:57 |
| boota2 | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors | 02:58 |
| boota2 | There are ones. | 02:58 |
| Kaedenn | Thanks. It's downloading quite a bit faster. | 03:15 |
| saliak1 | Anyone have experience getting digest authentication to work with apache2.2? basic authentication works fine for me, but I can't figure out why digest isnt' working (the user/pass i put in the htdigest file doesn't work). i'm not sure what could be going on. i have a feeling it has to do with the "realm" and "domain" but finding inconsistent answers across the web | 03:39 |
| === wavekidsjp is now known as wavekidsAW | ||
| UbuntuRules | can anyone give me an idea of where to look to figure out why SWAT doesn't start | 04:50 |
| UbuntuRules | Ill take any advice at this time: this has been annoying me for a week now | 04:56 |
| Kaedenn | So, for some reason my server doesn't want to boot from the Ubuntu Server Edition CD. | 05:18 |
| Kaedenn | Yet it boots just fine from some Windows CD. | 05:18 |
| Kaedenn | So, I'm confused. Is there a reason the CD wouldn't be bootable, or is there something I should be doing? | 05:19 |
| jmarsden | UbuntuRules: Is inetd or xinetd running? | 05:23 |
| jmarsden | Kaedenn: Have you verified the CD by checksumming it using md5sum? | 05:24 |
| Kaedenn | I have not, but I installed the image from ubuntu.com. o_O | 05:25 |
| jmarsden | Kaedenn: How does that provide any check against the burner creating a bad copy of the image?? | 05:26 |
| Kaedenn | True. I'm making a USB startup disk and seeing if that works, though. | 05:27 |
| jmarsden | Kaedenn: You might want to check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM and check the CD, too. | 05:28 |
| Kaedenn | Erm, "Make Startup Disk" isn't listing my USB stick. | 05:29 |
| Kaedenn | Okay, now for another advancement. When I try to boot from an Ubuntu USB drive, it just says "Boot error", and nothing else. | 05:57 |
| Kaedenn | That's all that's displayed on the screen. | 05:57 |
| jmarsden | Kaedenn: Does that same USB stick boot other machines OK? | 05:58 |
| Kaedenn | Never tried to boot other machines. | 05:58 |
| jmarsden | Might be worth checking. It's a quickish way to see if the issue is with the USB stick, or with the one machine you are trying to boot. | 05:59 |
| Kaedenn | For some reason, booting hangs when trying to boot a CD. I just get some Intel-specific error code "EB" and the CD drive just spins. | 05:59 |
| jmarsden | Kaedenn: and the md5sum of the CD checked out fine, right? | 05:59 |
| Kaedenn | Checking that now. | 06:00 |
| Kaedenn | jmarsden: The checksum passed. | 06:13 |
| jmarsden | OK. Good. Can you boot a different machine from CD or from the USB stick, as a test? | 06:14 |
| Kaedenn | I don't have any other machine to test that on >_< | 06:15 |
| jmarsden | What about the one you are using now, the one you are typing on? Alternatively, you could download a different small Linux ISO and see if you can get the server to boot from *that*. | 06:16 |
| Kaedenn | I'm downloading a fork of Tiny Core Linux. | 06:18 |
| jmarsden | Maybe http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/release/tinycore_3.4.1.iso which is only around 10MB ... OK. | 06:18 |
| Kaedenn | Actually that one is a quarter of the size. | 06:18 |
| jmarsden | Unless you are on dialup to your ISP, a 2.5Mb or a 10Mb file will each download in seconds anyway :) | 06:19 |
| Kaedenn | Doesn't want to boot from that either. | 06:23 |
| * Kaedenn hits head against desk | 06:23 | |
| jmarsden | How are you creating the burned CDs? WHat command are you using to burn them? | 06:23 |
| Kaedenn | Brasero. | 06:23 |
| Kaedenn | Basically, "Do you want to burn this ISO to a CD?" | 06:23 |
| jmarsden | OK. Can you mount the resulting CDs and see the usual set of files on them? | 06:24 |
| Kaedenn | Yeap. | 06:24 |
| Kaedenn | And the md5sum checked out OK from the MD5Sums on launchpad. | 06:24 |
| Kaedenn | Or, help.ubuntu.com rather. | 06:24 |
| jmarsden | Sounds like the issue is with the server. Why not test by booting the machine you are currently typing from from one of the CDs? | 06:24 |
| jmarsden | If it can boot them, you *know* the CDs are OK. | 06:24 |
| Kaedenn | I'm almost certain it's the server, as I've tried four boot mediums thusfar and they all didn't work. | 06:25 |
| Kaedenn | Wait, no, five. | 06:26 |
| Kaedenn | Two separate Ubuntu 10.10 i386 CDs, one amd64 CD, a TCL CD, and Ubuntu 10.10 on a USB drive created from "Create Startup Disk". | 06:27 |
| Kaedenn | And I tried the USB stick with both i386 and amd64. | 06:28 |
| jmarsden | It's your choice. At least theoretically, you created all of those, so you are a common factor, a common possible source of error... so until you boot successfully from one or more of those boot media, you do not *know* that the issue is with the server. Seems to me you have spent a lot of time creating boot media rather than testing the first bootable medium is really truly bootable... :) | 06:28 |
| Kaedenn | Looks like I'm going shopping tomorrow. | 06:28 |
| Kaedenn | True. | 06:28 |
| Kaedenn | Hey. PEBKAC. It's my motto. :) | 06:29 |
| JanC | maybe the server doesn't like isolinux, or vice versa? | 06:29 |
| Kaedenn | No idea! | 06:29 |
| Kaedenn | It could boot just fine from some random Windows CD. | 06:29 |
| JanC | Windows doesn't use isolinux ;) | 06:30 |
| JanC | it is possible that there is a bug in the BIOS in a function that the Windows bootloader doesn't use | 06:31 |
| Kaedenn | Fantastic. | 06:33 |
| Kaedenn | We'll go shopping tomorrow. | 06:33 |
| Kaedenn | Maybe we can pick up an AMD64 motherboard and leave all this behind us. | 06:33 |
| Kaedenn | It's late. I need sleep. | 06:34 |
| JanC | well, you might want to check if there is no BIOS upgrade available | 06:34 |
| Kaedenn | jmarsden, JanC, thank you for your help. | 06:34 |
| jmarsden | You're welcome. Goodnight. | 06:34 |
| Kaedenn | I will do that tomorrow morning. | 06:34 |

| CppIsWeird | if i installed the aufs-tools package, i havent installed aufs right? | 08:25 |
| CppIsWeird | i installed this https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/aufs-tools | 08:26 |
| jmarsden | CppIsWeird: apt-cache search aufs # returns fsprotect and live-initramfs so looking closely at those packages seems appropriate | 08:26 |
| CppIsWeird | is there any way to get a list of directories/devices involved in a unionfs/aufs? | 08:41 |

| jolop | good evening to all. im hoping to get help here, im sure its simple for many of the users here its about ubuntu10.04 server and raid1. fresh install of ubuntu-10.04.1-server-amd64 and i followed the step by step in the https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/advanced-installation.html but on boot im at the busybox mounting errors | 12:39 |
| ikonia | jolop: I'll pick it up with you in here as you're also asking in #ubuntu | 12:40 |
| ikonia | jolop: where did you tell it to install the bootloader ? | 12:41 |
| jolop | ok ikonia it alright here | 12:41 |
| ikonia | jolop: did you use a seperate boot partition ? | 12:41 |
| jolop | from the instructions i only did 2 partitions 1st is the swap file 10gb and 2nd for the / partition remaining of the 500gb also set it to bootable | 12:42 |
| jolop | no i dont think i used a seperate boot partition | 12:43 |
| ikonia | jolop: ok, personal experience, you'll find it easier to manage with a seperate boot partition, but that's just personal opinion. Where did you tell the installer to put grub ? | 12:43 |
| jolop | when it asked, it just asked if i wanted to install the grub on the 1st drive i said yes | 12:43 |
| ikonia | that should be fine. | 12:44 |
| jolop | mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/24b8b.... on /root failed: invalid argumant | 12:46 |
| jolop | thats the firs tline of error | 12:47 |
| === windkids is now known as windAwy | ||
| ikonia | /root ??? that doesn't sound good | 12:48 |
| ikonia | jolop: boot into the livecd, start the raid array and check the grub config | 12:49 |
| awanti | arrow keys are not working on Ubuntu server??? | 12:50 |
| jolop | then the next 3 errors are also mount errors just like that but they are realated to the first one not being mounted "/root/dev /root/sys /root/proc | 12:51 |
| jolop | rebooting to a ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-amd64 is it ok? | 12:52 |
| jolop | ikonia: thank yu for helping me, im now at the live cd | 12:57 |
| ikonia | jolop: start the array | 12:57 |
| jolop | im sorry but how do i do that? | 12:57 |
| jolop | fdisk -l i see the two drives i dont see the md0 i created | 12:58 |
| jolop | im installing mdadm first | 13:01 |
| jolop | then i'll try to start the array | 13:01 |
| === viezerd- is now known as viezerd | ||
| ikonia | jolop: cool | 13:09 |
| jolop | ikonia: i think a i have already started the array using "mdadm --assemble --scan" but when i "fdisk -l" there is a note there that "Disk /dev/md0 doesn't contain a valid partition table | 13:09 |
| ikonia | apologies, I keep leaving my desk | 13:09 |
| ikonia | jolop: ok, so that's the issue, the install didn't happen to md0 | 13:09 |
| jolop | and "Disk /dev/md1 doesn't contain a valid partition" | 13:09 |
| ikonia | jolop: something has gone wrong with the install, re-install (you may want to follow my suggestion and use a seperate /boot) | 13:10 |
| jolop | the reason i did only 2 partitions is because i dont have a guide on slicing the 500GB in preparation for RAID1 | 13:11 |
| ikonia | raid1 has nothing to do with your partition layout | 13:11 |
| ikonia | slice it as you see fit | 13:11 |
| jolop | while im onit and your here to help me any suggestion on slicing up a 500gb? im using it basically for webserver and redmine | 13:12 |
| ikonia | /boot / /var /home seems sensible to me | 13:13 |
| jolop | the guide im following only told of swap partition on the beginning of the disk and "/" partition that is bootable for the rest of the drive | 13:13 |
| jolop | the guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/advanced-installation.html | 13:14 |
| ikonia | because it's personal preference how you slice it up | 13:14 |
| ikonia | that option I've just given you is just my opinion based on experience | 13:14 |
| jolop | does the postfix configuration is a requirement for the mdadm, i noticed im always selecting no configuration when its asked after installation of mdadm | 13:17 |
| jolop | im thinking that the mdadm dis not start on installation when i did no configuration on the postfix that it wants to be installed | 13:22 |
| ikonia | jolop: postfix is only used for sending alert emails of mdadm failure | 13:24 |
| RoyK | you can probably use any mta, but postfix is the preferred one | 13:26 |
| jolop | yes but maybe this time i'll try to configure the postfix install | 13:26 |
| RoyK | jolop: btw, I'd recommend not slicing up too much - just a gig for the /boot, some swap and the rest for the root is good for most installs | 13:27 |
| RoyK | just use something to monitor disk usage so it doesn't fill up | 13:28 |
| jolop | another good soul helping me. thanks RoyK! and thank you Ikonia. im currently wiping the disks before fresh install again. | 13:29 |
| uvirtbot | New bug: #706570 in tomcat6 (main) "JAVA_OPTS defined in /etc/init.d/tomcat6 do not propagate to startup" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/706570 | 13:31 |
| ikonia | gig for /boot ? | 13:34 |
| ikonia | 250mb is more than enough for /boot | 13:34 |
| ikonia | RoyK: did you read what he said about running a web server | 13:34 |
| ikonia | a seperate /var partition is important for logging | 13:34 |
| RoyK | not really | 13:39 |
| RoyK | so long as the drives don't fill up, it doesn't matter | 13:39 |
| oCean | I agree with ikonia there.. I even separate /var/www on my webservers | 13:39 |
| jolop | 1m done witht he 1st partition for swap, its 10gb at the beginning, just like th eguide said. | 13:39 |
| RoyK | and the flexibility of having one large partition is way more important than isolating stuff | 13:39 |
| RoyK | ikonia: 250MB can easily fill up - beleive me | 13:40 |
| jolop | now i'll crete the /boot partition is this the one i need to mark as bootable? | 13:40 |
| RoyK | ikonia: and if you have 500 gigs, 1 less won't matter much | 13:40 |
| oCean | RoyK: do you collect obsolete kernel versions? :s | 13:40 |
| RoyK | oCean: or do some testing or ... | 13:41 |
| ikonia | jolop: the installer will mark what needs to be marked | 13:41 |
| jolop | is the /boot partition needed to be marked as bootable? | 13:41 |
| ikonia | jolop: trust the installer | 13:41 |
| ikonia | jolop: don't worry about bootable flag | 13:41 |
| RoyK | oCean: with automatic updates, /boot can easily fill up if you don't manually remove old kernels - that's why I want some space there - less hassle | 13:42 |
| RoyK | and with current drive pricing, 1GB isn't really a lot | 13:42 |
| * RoyK just checked and old box... $ dpkg -l | grep linux-image| wc 23 248 3176 | 13:43 | |
| RoyK | 23 friggin' kernels :P | 13:43 |
| jolop | finished slicing the 500gb, only 3 partitions, im still afraid on more complications swap, /boot and / | 13:49 |
| jolop | then on the raid1 devices: 0: as swap, 1: as /boot ext4 and 2: / ext4 | 13:50 |
| RoyK | jolop: how much swap/boot? | 14:01 |
| pmatulis | not much sense in journaling /boot but ok | 14:12 |
| jolop | finished the install and its the same error | 14:15 |
| pmatulis | jolop: using lvm? | 14:16 |
| RoyK | jolop: what error? | 14:17 |
| jolop | no lvm | 14:17 |
| pmatulis | jolop: how many disks do you have? | 14:17 |
| RoyK | iirc he said one 500GB drive | 14:18 |
| pmatulis | raid1 with one disk? | 14:18 |
| jolop | mount error somethign like cant mount /root to /dev/by-uuid-..... | 14:18 |
| jolop | raid1 2 500gb | 14:19 |
| RoyK | ok | 14:19 |
| RoyK | linux software raid? | 14:19 |

| ikonia | jolop: do what you did before, boot from the livecd, start the array and see if you can mount it | 14:39 |

| audrey | hello? | 16:13 |
| pmatulis | hello | 16:14 |
| audrey | does anyone know of a way to send emails using postfix, when the ISP has blocked port 25? | 16:14 |
| audrey | is the only way to use the isp's relay? | 16:14 |
| pmatulis | audrey: you're just sending emails? | 16:15 |
| audrey | well, it seems to receive emails just fine | 16:15 |
| audrey | but I can't send any emails unless they're internal | 16:16 |
| pmatulis | audrey: so, yes, use your isp's smtp server as a relay | 16:16 |
| audrey | I'm pretty sure (from telnetting) that port 25 is blocked | 16:16 |
| audrey | is that the only way? | 16:17 |
| audrey | I'm trying to make it as autonomous as possible (I realise I'm at the isp's mercy anyway) | 16:17 |
| compdoc | sending isnt usually the problem | 16:18 |
| compdoc | they dont block 25 outgoing | 16:18 |
| audrey | really? what could be the problem then? | 16:18 |
| pmatulis | compdoc: many isp's do not allow outgoing port 25 unless it's to their server | 16:18 |
| audrey | I assumed it was an anti-spam thing | 16:18 |
| pmatulis | this is very common | 16:18 |
| compdoc | well, not all do | 16:18 |
| audrey | I'm with o2 | 16:19 |
| audrey | in the uk | 16:19 |
| audrey | they *have* an smtp relay, I just don't want to use it if I don't have to | 16:19 |
| pmatulis | compdoc: he said he can receive email but cannot send. the only way is to use the isp's smtp server | 16:19 |
| compdoc | yes | 16:20 |
| compdoc | Ive seen that too | 16:20 |
| pmatulis | unless his configuration is screwed up. but we can only go by what he's telling us | 16:20 |
| compdoc | so use their outgoing - its not a big deal | 16:20 |
| mattt | all your mail are belong to o2 | 16:20 |
| audrey | thanks mattt, that's actually quite helpful. I suspected as much. Hence encryption? But how do I make it more stable? | 16:21 |
| compdoc | I use comcast's outgoing because their reverse dns works, and sites like yahoo, etc. wont block | 16:21 |
| mattt | audrey: if you have another mail server outside of the o2 network, open up port 587 and use that? | 16:21 |
| KurtKraut | audrey, in Brazil all ISPs blocked together port 25 due SPAM. There is probably an extensive documentation in how to deal with that. | 16:22 |
| compdoc | there are mail hop outbound services | 16:22 |
| compdoc | costs a little extra | 16:22 |
| audrey | compdoc: is comcast your isp? | 16:22 |
| compdoc | yes | 16:22 |
| mattt | audrey: i use be in uk, they do same thing | 16:22 |
| pmatulis | what would be gained by piping all mail to an isp's server or some other organization's server? | 16:23 |
| compdoc | I can telnet mail servers on port 25 - but I cant receive on 25 | 16:23 |
| compdoc | pmatulis, theres a few benefits | 16:24 |
| audrey | ok, so use o2 smtp relay, use encryption, and be ready to link to a second server outside o2. | 16:24 |
| audrey | ? | 16:25 |
| mattt | let'er rip | 16:25 |
| compdoc | encription? youre afraid theyre reading your mail? | 16:25 |
| audrey | well, They always do. :) | 16:25 |
| mattt | unlikely, but possible :D | 16:26 |
| audrey | Could I not just send mail directly on port 587? What are the likely problems with doing that? | 16:28 |
| audrey | and, indeed, how would you do that in postfix? | 16:29 |
| compdoc | unless youre plotting to take over o2, I doubt they will care what you say | 16:29 |
| compdoc | not all mail servers in the world will accept mail on 587, I dont think | 16:29 |
| audrey | I suppose it would defeat the point of blocking 25 | 16:30 |
| pmatulis | audrey: you need to first figure out what you want to achieve. from what i'm reading, you don't know | 16:30 |
| mattt | audrey: if you have a relay server that accepts mail on port 587, that'd work | 16:30 |
| mattt | you could relay through it | 16:30 |
| audrey | ah, ok. | 16:30 |
| RoyK | you need a relay if the ISP blocks port 25 | 16:31 |
| * RoyK has a private server for that sort of things :P | 16:31 | |
| pmatulis | audrey: you can make your server external to your isp listen on *any* port | 16:31 |
| mattt | yeah, i use my vps for that sort of thing | 16:31 |
| RoyK | how much do you pay for a small vps these days? | 16:32 |
| pmatulis | audrey: and "encryption" only makes sense when authenticating to a mail server that you control | 16:32 |
| audrey | is there a recommended way of switching relays, or queueing them, so that it uses the backup server if the o2 one stops relaying? | 16:32 |
| pmatulis | and nothing else | 16:32 |
| mattt | RoyK: w/ minimal b/w, 15 a month or so? | 16:32 |
| mattt | RoyK: USD that is | 16:33 |
| audrey | pmatulis: I meant PGP etc | 16:33 |
| pmatulis | audrey: ok | 16:33 |
| RoyK | mattt: wouldn't an EC2 VM from amazon be cheaper than that? | 16:34 |
| RoyK | for just an MTA, I mean | 16:34 |
| audrey | is there a recommended way of switching relays, or queueing them, so that it uses the backup server if the o2 one stops relaying? using postfix | 16:35 |
| mattt | RoyK: ah, potentially ... don't use EC2 myself | 16:36 |
| mattt | audrey: that question doesn't make much sense | 16:36 |
| RoyK | audrey: normally you have two or more MX records for a domain, with different priority/cost, which makes the email sent to the primary server, but falling back to the secondary server/MX if the primary can't be contacted | 16:37 |
| audrey | well, in my /var/log/mail I can see if a message didn't get sent (eg if o2 stops relaying), so is there a way of sending it via a secondary server if o2 fails? | 16:38 |
| audrey | royk: isn't that for incoming mail? | 16:38 |
| RoyK | er.. yes | 16:38 |
| RoyK | why shouldn't outgoing mail work? | 16:39 |
| mattt | audrey: what is sending it through o2? a mail server or something else? | 16:39 |
| RoyK | except if the ISP blocks port 25, that is | 16:39 |
| audrey | royk: I'm recieving mail fine, I think o2 isp are blocking port 25 outgoing except to their server | 16:39 |
| mattt | audrey: they are, most ISPs do that | 16:39 |
| mattt | audrey: their mail server may start blocking connections from you if you're abusing their system btw | 16:40 |
| audrey | mattt: I'm not sure yet. I was going to try this: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/installation/1538-sending-mail-using-your-isp-relay-host.html | 16:40 |
| audrey | yeah. I don't think I'll be spamming anyone though... | 16:41 |
| mattt | you sure? :D | 16:41 |
| mattt | audrey: postfix should retry if it can't relay the message through o2 | 16:41 |
| mattt | up to a certain # of days, then it'll drop the msg | 16:41 |
| audrey | I wouldn't know where to start, except maybe lol-spam :D | 16:41 |
| RoyK | mattt: dpkg-reconfigure postfix | 16:42 |
| audrey | yeah, but the motivation is to be as autonomous as possible (which I realise in this case is a lost cause) | 16:42 |
| mattt | audrey: may want to look at something like a vps then | 16:45 |
| RoyK | http://aws.amazon.com/free/ <-- looks good :) | 16:45 |
| audrey | lol, thanks. But how do you trust your vps host not to have a snoop-hypervisor? | 16:46 |
| mattt | audrey: dude, you're right paranoid :D | 16:48 |
| audrey | yeah, I know :D | 16:48 |
| audrey | but if They can boot Wikileaks, They can boot me | 16:48 |
| RoyK | audrey: it's a matter of trust, or money, if you're paranoid, get your own gear and a good internet connection | 16:48 |
| audrey | royk: that's been my approach. What exactly makes a connection "good"? | 16:49 |
| audrey | not port-blocking :) | 16:49 |
| RoyK | well, a 100Mbps link is quite good | 16:51 |
| audrey | I'm guessing that not having an isp (or being your own isp), even if it were possible, wouldn't be exactly easy | 16:51 |
| RoyK | audrey: if you're located in the US or China or Iran or something, they have global sniffing in the backbone anyway | 16:51 |
| audrey | Royk: ORLY? but surely that only picks up on unencrypted transmissions? | 16:52 |
| RoyK | audrey: it's still pretty hard to break RSA, yes | 16:53 |
| audrey | :) AFAWK | 16:53 |
| audrey | it's a fairly endless spiral, this distrust | 16:54 |
| RoyK | but I somewhat think China is trying to break that with that new supercomputer of GPus | 16:54 |
| audrey | ok, thanks guys | 16:56 |
| audrey | ttyl | 16:56 |
| shauno | does ufw only store rules in /etc/ufw? I seem to be missing something | 17:13 |
| thesheff17 | shauno: ufw is actually built on top of iptables. | 17:16 |
| compdoc | I think it creates iptables rules and stores them there | 17:16 |
| compdoc | I like it | 17:16 |
| compdoc | theres a gufw if you have a desktop. it works well | 17:17 |
| compdoc | where does iptables store rules between boots? | 17:17 |
| shauno | I think that's what I'm looking for .. they must persist on disk somewhere between boots | 17:21 |
| thesheff17 | shauno: just doing ufw enable will persist through reboots | 17:22 |
| shauno | but I'm now discovering the host doesn't have ipt_MASQUERADE available, which is more likely to be why copying rulesets across didn't work | 17:22 |

| pehden | but www.pehden.net resovles my ip | 20:06 |
| EvilPhoenix | pehden: then its DNS issues | 20:21 |
| EvilPhoenix | oh | 20:21 |
| EvilPhoenix | btw | 20:21 |
| EvilPhoenix | pehden: pehden.net. CNAME pehden.ath.cx. ; www.pehden.net. CNAME pehden.ath.cx. ; pehden.ath.cx. A 69.92.177.4 | 20:22 |
| EvilPhoenix | that's the DNS entries | 20:22 |
| EvilPhoenix | i omitted a duplicate entry | 20:22 |
| EvilPhoenix | pehden: its likely not a dns issue then, rather an issue with your webserver | 20:22 |
| EvilPhoenix | and its configuration | 20:22 |
| EvilPhoenix | oh wait, you're having issues with multiple browsers? | 20:23 |
| === ng_ is now known as NG_ | ||

| latenite | Hi folks, I have a connection on my netstatlist that I would like to know more of. Its line 6 and 14. How do I find out what service is on that port? http://pastebin.com/Xcqm4JAB | 23:23 |
| Pici | latenite: Run netstat with sudo and be sure to include the -p switch | 23:25 |
| Pici | That should tell you the process | 23:25 |
| latenite | Pici, nice flag thanks. Sadly the data I pasted is from yesterday. Is there still a way to find out? today it looks like that http://pastebin.com/RDBYErT0 | 23:27 |
| Pici | latenite: I'd be completely guessing, but it looks like it *might& be skype, the port numbers are in similar locations and a quick search reveals that skype doesn;t use any specific preset ports. | 23:30 |
| latenite | yeah maybe :) hey thanks a lot :) | 23:33 |
| Pici | np | 23:33 |
