[00:40] <pmarchwiak> hi, I'm trying to perform a kernel bisection following the guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection but I'm not seeing the debian-master dir after starting and thus can't set a test version #
[05:18] <jonrs> Hi... anyone here?
[05:18] <jmarsden> jonrs: Just ask your real question and see who answers :)
[05:19] <jonrs> thanks.
[05:21] <lost4400> hu?
[05:21] <jonrs> i'm trying to launch an ami image but not getting ssh... trying to find out if it's a problem with amazon or if the ubuntu image doesn't have ssh enabled... the image i'm using is ami-880c5ccd
[05:24] <lost4400> ouch,, kante respondre
[07:34] <sss> How do I know if I am connected to the internet?
[08:26] <sss> I need help connecting to the Internet through a WEP connection
[08:32] <sss> anyone here?
[08:52] <ikonia> sss: what's up
[08:52] <sss> Trying to connect to the Internet
[08:53] <ikonia> ok ?
[08:54] <sss> Trying to connect wireless to the Internet through WEP using DHCP, afaik
[08:54] <ikonia> on ubuntu server or desktop ?
[08:54] <sss> I can connect with Ubuntu Desktop but I don't know how with Ubuntu Server
[08:55] <ikonia> I don't think ubuntu server has the wirless tools installed by default, and in honesty I don't know if all of them are available on ubuntu server (wirless network card modules I mean)
[08:55] <ikonia> sss: how far along are you ?
[08:55] <AtomicSpark> Can we please give a warning not to use tasksel on Ubuntu Server? I removed email and print server options and it pretty much just uninstalled half my server packages. Things that weren't even related. Irssi, ufw, etc.
[08:56] <ikonia> AtomicSpark: I've never seen that, I'd log a bug for that quite urgently
[08:56] <sss> I am trying to find a command that accept the hex digits code for the wireless network
[08:56] <AtomicSpark> I was seeing the packages preparing to be remove and I was C-cing like crazy. :\
[08:57] <ikonia> you just said that in #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:57] <AtomicSpark> Yes.
[08:57] <ikonia> so I'd log a bug for it
[08:57] <sss> AtomicSpark, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel says "WARNING: Use tasksel only to install tasks, never to remove any! According to https://launchpad.net/bugs/574287 it will remove each package in the list of that task (and possibly render your system unusable)."
[08:57] <AtomicSpark> sss: Thank you
[08:58] <ikonia> looks like a valid bug, add your stuff to it if you think it helps
[08:58] <sss> I don't have iwconfig command in Ubuntu Server, so I do think it doesn't support wireless connections by default
[08:59] <ikonia> sss: you'll need the wireless-tools package for that
[08:59] <sss> How do I get the package without Internet connection? Can I install them with a USB flash disk?
[09:00] <ikonia> why are you doing this with ubuntu server if it works on ubuntu desktop out of the box ?
[09:00] <ikonia> would it not be easier to use the desktop version that supports wirless out of the box /
[09:00] <sss> I installed Ubuntu Server only for experimenting with it
[09:01] <ikonia> ok, so it's the same OS as the desktop but with a few packages modified for enterprise server use, and a few packages removed
[09:01] <ikonia> is there something specific in the server version you want/need/want to try
[09:01] <sss> LAMP, Java, mail(?)
[09:02] <ikonia> sss: that's all available on ubuntu desktop
[09:02] <ikonia> you don't neve the ubuntu server install for that
[09:02] <AtomicSpark> ikonia: Since it happens with all tasks, not sure adding which options I selected would help and I didn't have a "currently installed" package list handy. Oh well, been meaning to start fresh anyways. :\
[09:03] <sss> Any way I can add packages without Internet connection?
[09:03] <ikonia> sss: yes, but why ? it's easier to use the desktop version as it's geared up for desktop hardware use out of the box
[09:03] <AtomicSpark> You'd have to have the alt cd or dvd handy and it's only packages from main.
[09:04] <ikonia> sss: why make it hard on yourself as the chances are you're going to need more packages such as wifi card kernel modules,
[09:04] <ikonia> the desktop and server install can do the same physical tasks, so why not just use the version that will work best for your hardware and needs
[09:04] <sss> Does the Ubuntu Server Disk include the tasks packages or does it install them from the Internet?
[09:05] <ikonia> sss: you need to install them from the internet
[09:05] <sss> How do I install LAMP in Ubuntu Desktop (finally convinced me... lol)
[09:05] <AtomicSpark> Hmm. I'm curious if you could apt-cd the server cd now.
[09:06] <ikonia> sss: you install ubuntu desktop, then either use tasksel or install php/mysql/apache
[09:06] <ikonia> AtomicSpark: I'm not %100 I believe you can
[09:06] <ikonia> AtomicSpark: it should work the same as the desktop for the "main" packages
[09:06] <AtomicSpark> Yeah I was thinking it should be the same as the Alt CD.
[09:07] <sss> ikonia: I am now installing tasksel on Ubuntu Desktop
[09:07] <ikonia> ok, well guess we are done here
[09:07] <AtomicSpark> Tasksel sure does have a lot of packages listed for lamp.
[09:08] <sss> "tasksel install lamp"?
[09:08] <AtomicSpark> lamp-server
[09:09] <sss> sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[09:09] <sss> ok, It is now installing.
[09:09] <sss> Where will it be installed?
[09:10] <AtomicSpark> sss: You won't have a GUI tool for it.
[09:10] <AtomicSpark> You put web stuffs in /var/www/
[09:10] <AtomicSpark> You access the database either by using a GUI utility or phpmyadmin
[09:11] <AtomicSpark> or command line if you're brave! :P
[09:11] <ikonia> or simply the "mysql" command
[09:11] <AtomicSpark> Yes.
[09:11] <sss> How do I host PHP website? simply put files in /ver/www/ ?
[09:12] <AtomicSpark> Mostly, yes.
[09:12] <ikonia> sss: have you read https://help.ubuntu.com
[09:12] <AtomicSpark> (the server guide is awesome)
[09:12] <ikonia> sss: it's a good guide to the basics of ubuntu and how it works
[09:12] <sss> ok. thanks
[09:28] <sss> I installed LAMP. It shows HTML files correctly, but do not process PHP files
[09:30] <ikonia> sss: have you read the document you where given
[09:30] <ikonia> sss: you may want to take this to #ubuntu now that you are using the desktop version
[09:30] <sss> ok
[11:33] <Ztripez> is there anyway to change a devies uuid? i have 6 drives.. each crypted with luks and the mapped crypted devices are lvm:ed to one huge crypted parttion.. howver.. one of my sata cabels broke (for some strange reason) so i changed it.. all of sudden 2 of my crypted devices have the same uuid and the lvm halts (missing 1 disk). i know what the uuid  the luksdevice should have.. is there any way i can set the uuid to the correct one?
[11:41] <Ztripez> aparently it's the PV:s i need to change not the luks
[11:47] <Ztripez> ok.. so if i do a pvchange -u  /dev/mapper/sda1_crypted (witch is the one need to be changed) withc will create a new uuid for that drive.. will that break my lvm?
[11:52] <Ztripez> well that didn't help at all lol
[12:26] <hallooo> hallo kann mir jemand zum thema rechte weiter helfen ?
[12:26] <hallooo> rechte vergabe!
[12:26] <au> English
[12:27] <hallooo> just english?
[12:27] <hallooo> in this channel ?
[12:28] <RoyK> yes
[12:28] <RoyK> I guess there's an #ubuntu-de channel or something
[12:43] <m_tadeu> hi....I want to know about vulnerabilities on my server...can someone advise me on an good audit tool?
[12:46] <au> m_tadeu: chkrootkit, rklhunter
[12:47] <m_tadeu> au, is there an automated one? I'm not very good at security issues
[12:48] <remix_tj> m_tadeu: if you are not good at security issues every tool is useless
[12:48] <remix_tj> you need at least to know what you're looking for
[14:37] <RoyK>  
[16:22] <syb> Grub or Grub2 as bootloader inside virtual machines running Lucid or Maverick?
[16:23] <RoyK> afaik grub2 is the supported one
[16:23] <RoyK> works for me
[16:25] <syb> RoyK: I've just now (in a Maverick LiveCD) run a fresh incarnation of 'vmbuilder' command and it installed grub instead of grub2
[16:25] <RoyK> it doesn't matter, really
[16:25] <syb> Result: GRUB Loading stage2..
[16:25] <RoyK> so long as the system comes up, either version will work
[16:25] <syb> [stuck]
[16:26] <RoyK> what virtualisation software?
[16:26] <RoyK> kvm?
[16:26] <syb> yep kvm. After seeing this error, I had shutdown the VM and mounted it's qcow2 disk images to chroot and  check/reinstall grub.
[16:28] <syb> I'll try boot the VM from a LiveCD and replace grub with grub2 from within that instead of chroot'ing
[16:34] <RoyK> syb: I'm using kvm quite a lot, servers installed with virt-manager
[16:34] <RoyK> host is 10.04.2 LTS, guests varies
[16:38] <wycks> anyone know how to add gpg keys to  for upgrading php from dotdeb.org, getting gpg error unverified signature
[16:43] <Error404NotFound> how can i change the hostname that goes into logs? do i need to change hostname of the system? I just tried "hostname demo", after i rebooted i couldn't see the effects, i am using Lucid Lynx
[16:44] <RoyK> Error404NotFound: /etc/hostname
[16:44] <RoyK> Error404NotFound: change /etc/hosts and /etc/mailname as well
[16:46] <Error404NotFound> RoyK: thanks, btw, whats the purpose of hostname command if its not meant for that?
[16:47] <RoyK> Error404NotFound: the startup scripts uses the hostname command
[16:49] <RoyK> Error404NotFound: it's the same with ifconfig and a lot of other commands - it sets values, but the config files chooses what to be used on boot
[17:21] <jeeves_moss> how do I use mv to move files >1K?
[17:26] <syb> RoyK: This bugreport someone else filed describes my problem exactly - https://bugs.launchpad.net/vmbuilder/+bug/612495
[17:32] <iceflatline> jeeves_moss: I should think you could use the find command along with something like xargs
[17:32] <jeeves_moss> ahh, ok, thanks
[17:34] <jeeves_moss> iceflatline, when using a variable, you first use $<var name> = var, then in your scrip, you just use $<var name> wherever you want the var to go?
[17:38] <hilarie> Hello, I am trying to try out ubuntu server edition, and I am quite new at this stuff, I followed the directions on http://www.webxpert.ro/andrei/2010/09/07/install-webmin-on-ubuntu-server-or-desktop-10-10-maverick-meerka/ to install webmin, and when I try to connect to my Virtual box, either by the hostename outputted from from the install https//:friendlyhostname:1000 or https://<ifconfigIP>:1000, it simply times out
[17:39] <iceflatline> jeeves_moss: it's <varname> = <var>, then you call it in the script use $varname
[17:42] <iceflatline> example: USER=iceflatline, then $USER in the script.
[18:26] <weboide> Is there anybody available to take a quick look at bug 72207? we need to re-enable the PHP-FPM build.
[18:26] <weboide> I meant bug 722007
[19:53] <zerty> hello what is the default ftp server in ubuntu ?
[19:54] <zerty> hello anyone there ?
[19:54] <zerty> hello what is the default ftp server in ubuntu ?
[19:54] <highvoltage> lots of people
[19:54] <highvoltage> asking it more times won't make anyone want to answer more
[19:55] <highvoltage> there's no ftp server installed by default
[19:56] <highvoltage> the ubuntu server guide suggests vsftpd though: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[19:56] <highvoltage> oops, newer version here: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[19:57] <zerty> weel i got this error during the installation of vstpd
[19:57] <zerty>  postgresql-8.4
[19:57] <zerty>  postgresql
[19:57] <zerty> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[19:57] <zerty> what i have to do ?
[19:59] <highvoltage> there should be some more messages a bit higher that lead to the exit code
[20:00] <zerty> just a sec
[20:02] <zerty> http://paste.ubuntu.com/569771/
[20:04] <zerty> lol
[20:04] <zerty> lo
[20:05] <weboide> zerty: first try this to see if any pending issues with apt need to be solved: sudo apt-get install
[20:05] <highvoltage> zerty: it tries to install postgresql, and fails, there should be a log somewhere in /var/log with a postgresql log that might explain why it doesn't start
[20:05] <weboide> highvoltage: dpkg says it's not configured yet in french
[20:06] <highvoltage> zerty: if you're doing it in a chroot environment you'll probably have to mount proc first. if it's on some kind of test machine or VM make sure that networking is up
[20:06] <highvoltage> zerty: indeed, that's because it tries to start postgresql as part of the configuration of it
[20:07] <zerty> give me the right way
[20:07] <weboide> highvoltage: I see I misread
[20:07] <zerty> what i have to do exactly ?
[20:07] <zerty> need one answer
[20:08] <highvoltage> "check the logs and see why postgresql don't start" <- if you only want one answer
[20:08] <zerty> ok
[20:11] <zerty> is it on apache log  ?
[20:13] <weboide> zerty: try looking in, there should be a couple of *.log files /var/log/postgresql/
[20:13] <weboide> zerty: try looking in /var/log/postgresql/ sorry
[20:17] <zerty> this is what i got : 2011-02-20 21:15:55 CET FATAL:  n'a pas pu acc?der au fichier de la cl? priv?e << server.key >> : Permission non accord?e
[20:17] <zerty> what i have to do exactly ?
[20:17] <zerty> 2011-02-20 9:15:55 p.m. CET FATAL: could not access? der file to Cl? priv? e "server.key>>: Permission not agree? e
[20:18] <zerty> i mean where is that key ?
[20:21] <zerty> the problem is since i start to upgrade my sys
[20:21] <zerty> is that really necessary to upgrade system every time ?
[20:23] <weboide> zerty: essaye de faire sudo dpkg-reconfigure postgresql
[20:25] <zerty> ]# dpkg-reconfigure postgresql
[20:25] <zerty> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: postgresql est cassé ou partiellement installé
[20:25] <txwikinger> Can anybody gove me a heads-up on howto configure kvm with ipv6 on ubuntu server?
[20:25] <weboide> zerty: essaye: sudo apt-get install
[20:25] <zerty> configuring kvm what is it means ? txwikinger
[20:26] <txwikinger> zerty: I have ubuntu server running as a host to run VMs
[20:26] <zerty> got the same result as like that : http://paste.ubuntu.com/569771/
[20:26] <txwikinger> I got ipv6 from the datacentre and what to use the VMs with ipv6 as well
[20:26] <zerty> oh you using kvm for your virtual machine ?
[20:27] <txwikinger> zerty:  yes
[20:27] <zerty> why you don't you vbox for the same task ?
[20:27] <zerty> is it easy to manage  ?
[20:27] <zerty> is it easy to manage
[20:28] <txwikinger> well. I use virt-manager
[20:28] <txwikinger> So yes it is easy to manage
[20:28] <weboide> zerty: t'as bien taper juste 'sudo apt-get install' ?
[20:28] <zerty> oui j'obtiens le meme résultat que mon pastebin weboide
[20:28] <zerty> à la fin
[20:29] <zerty>  postgresql-8.4
[20:29] <zerty>  postgresql
[20:29] <zerty> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[20:29] <zerty> so see on the option txwikinger
[20:29]  * Datz wonders if there is an ubuntu-server-fr
[20:29] <Datz> !fr
[20:29] <Datz> guess not
[20:30] <zerty> why you pack back to home ? ;) Datz
[20:30] <weboide> sorry Datz it was actually easier in fr :)
[20:31] <Datz> pack back home?
[20:31] <zerty> me
[20:31] <Datz> I am home :P
[20:31] <zerty> i m talking about ubuntu-fr
[20:31] <txwikinger> zerty: virt-manager does only do ipv4
[20:31] <zerty> channel
[20:31] <zerty> plz join #kvm txwikinger
[20:32] <txwikinger> thanks zerty
[20:34] <weboide> zerty: try  'sudo adduser postgres ssl-cert' and then try installing the package you wanted
[20:34] <zerty> ok let me check
[20:35] <weboide> zerty: I found this command from bug 382584
[20:39] <weboide> zerty: did that help?
[20:40] <zerty> just checking
[21:10] <mrothhh> anytool to move email from one imap server to another anyone got any sugeesstion
[21:11] <greppy> mrothhh: imapfilter I think can do that.
[21:12] <greppy> or if they are both Maildir, you can just copy over the directory structure, checking usernames and paths.
[21:14] <Amgine_> question: is there a server configuration which might alter using /tmp? Trying to figure out why a user's site, hosted on ubuntu, would not have access to /tmp via php.
[21:17] <jmarsden> Amgine_: check permissions of /tmp and also check any changes made to php.ini that could restrict where PHP is able to work.
 Not sure the user has shell, looking jmarsden.
[21:20] <jmarsden> The user?  Usually PHP web pages will execute as www-data under apache2, not as "user", unless you do extra work to configure things.  Does this issue apply to all web sites on your server, or only one?
[21:23] <Ztripez> is ther any lvm2 ninjas here?
[21:35] <Amgine_> Jmarsden: not my server, someone else's. The issue seems to have been a permissions issue, though I have no clue how the user (not root) was able to chmod 777 /tmp
[21:35] <Amgine_> Must be a very strange host.
[22:05] <qman__> Amgine_, one of my hosts let me accidentally chmod 000 some files with no way to undo
[22:06] <Amgine_> If they are *your* files, yes, but not a system file?
[22:07] <qman__> guess it depends on if the user is in its own VPS or similar, or just a user on a big multiuser setup
[22:10] <Amgine_> Yah, I dunno... I'm not very knowledgeable, and am easily confused.
[22:36] <CensoredBiscuit> Anyone here know anything about mpg123, I installed it then it claimed i didnt have pulseaudio so I installed that and It still wont work
[23:32] <linuxtech> Anyone have an eta on the security updates for mailman on 10.04?
[23:55] <boxybrown> is there a way to cancel a taskset install
[23:55] <boxybrown> it brings up a curses progress bar, and doesn't recognize ctrl-c
[23:59] <twb> boxybrown: in d-i, or after the initial installation has finished and you've rebooted and logged in?
