[00:02] How well liked is lighttpd by the ServerTeam? [00:03] I guess that's a matter of taste [00:03] this is a offhand question .... [00:04] lighty works well in all setups I've tested [00:04] i have a laptop at work that i share my public key out to servers so i can ssh in [00:04] id like to do use the same keys from my work laptop on my home laptop [00:04] RoyK: Just curious on how much attention the packages get from the server team. [00:04] so i can ssh from home without having to bring my laptop home [00:04] ive tried just copying the keys from my work laptop's .ssh/id_rsa.* to my home laptop [00:05] AtomicSpark: does it really matter so long as lighty or whatever works? [00:05] but i get "Agent admitted failure to sign using the key" when i try to ssh from my home laptop [00:06] any one have any tips on how to get this to work so that i dont need to manage 2 sets of keys on every server? [00:07] RoyK: Well, it would be nice if other things came with lighty support. When I come across things like phppgadmin doesn't have a supplied config file for lighttpd, I'll probably write my own and submit it to the package maintainer. [00:08] lirakis: that should have worked. see if they're listed in seahorse. [00:08] AtomicSpark: good idea - it might be that not so many are using lighty for that sort of things [00:08] lirakis: make sure the permissions for id_rsa are 600. [00:08] hmm never heard of seahorse [00:08] ill do some searching [00:08] AtomicSpark: but then, I've used lighty for a number of projects and it hasn't really failed me so far [00:08] lirakis: It's gnome's keyring frontend thingy that ships with Ubuntu. [00:08] AtomicSpark, hmmm [00:09] Accessories > Passwords and Encryption Keys [00:09] You can also use it to create ssh keys and configure them on other servers (asks for users password and scp's it over) [00:09] Its very handy. Also manages *all* of your passwords and can create gpg keys. [00:10] Does Server Team have anything to do with the server docs? [00:12] AtomicSpark, ah thanks i was trying to find how to get to it [00:14] ... hmm not sure how i can import a id_rsa and id_rsa.pub ... it doesnt seem to recognize them [00:14] you import the id_rsa, not the pub [00:15] id_rsa: Invalid file format [00:15] is what it gives me when i try to import it [00:15] :\ [00:16] lirakis: Like I said, check the permissions on id_rsa. Did you export it? What did you use to create the file on your other computer? [00:16] AtomicSpark, i didnt "export it" .. i just copied it from the home directory on my other laptop [00:16] ill check the perms [00:17] it is 600 [00:17] lirakis: Correct user, etc? [00:17] yep [00:17] Strange it can't read it. [00:17] and its the same username on both machines [00:18] Oh! [00:18] lirakis: import only works for gpg. [00:18] I just tried it, it didn't even recognise the file type. [00:18] oh [00:18] I had to "show all files" for my keys to appear in the browser. [00:18] AtomicSpark, yeah same [00:18] lirakis: They should be under My Personal Keys. [00:18] They should automatically get important if they're in your .ssh with correct permissions. [00:18] yeah thats where im trying to import it to [00:18] i have them in a subfolder in .ssh [00:19] Is there a key listed with a lil console icon? [00:19] Is there anything in that tab? :< [00:19] AtomicSpark, i have my current key in there [00:19] for my home laptop [00:20] ... and i want to add another key (from my work laptop) to this machine ... so that i can get into my work servers [00:20] is that .. some thing that i should be able to do? [00:20] lirakis: Some people say you should have a key per client and just keep adding them to your authorized_keys file. This way if one computer is compromised, you can just remove that key. [00:22] AtomicSpark, yeah i know .. i just dont want to manage 2 keys for my user on every server ... === airtonix_ is now known as airtonix === eerie_ is now known as eerie [01:49] Recommend me things. So I have postgres installed. Mostly vanilla settings. root user doesn't exist, postgres user hasn't been set a password (afaik). I added my user with password but only createdb and newrole permissions since offical docs said superuser was bad. However, I can't seem to run commands on other databases (to view contents), which makes sense. [01:49] kirkland, hey there! have you had the opportunity to look after bug #534629? ehw and myself did some work to test and make all related bugs SRU-worthy. If there is anything still missing, we would be glad to oblige. [01:49] Launchpad bug 534629 in likewise-open "AssumeDefaultDomain does not work" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/534629 [01:50] kirkland, if you think you might not have time to look after that one, we'll see if can get somebody else to sponsor it [01:50] So like, should I make myself a superuser? Should I configure root so I can sudo stuffs (but no password so I can't log in). phppgadmin blocks root/postgres by default (many things do). So maybe I should just make myself superuser. But then I don't have to sudo myself into breaking things which is slightly scary too. :< [01:50] Also, all my databases seem to only have permisisons on them for postgres even though I added my own database with createdb -O myuser myuser. [01:51] does exist a command in ubuntu server [01:51] that can fix serveral problems [01:51] or clean unwanted files in there [01:51] like sudo apt-get autoremove [01:51] or etc [01:52] AtomicSpark: create a superuser and a normal user; only use the former when you actually need its privileges [02:08] twb: Hmm. Thats a good compromise. [02:08] It's the same best practice as you're already using in the unix side of things === jjohansen is now known as jj-afk [02:25] twb: You know, I'm being silly. I can just keep using the postgres user (sudo -u postgres) to do adminy work. [02:25] Whatever [02:36] Oh nevermind, that still wont let me admin via phppgadmin. I'll just create a separate admin account later. [02:36] IMO you shouldn't be using a web interface to perform administrative tasks. Period. [02:37] True. [03:29] Can ubuntu(s grub) made boot from a raid6 array? [03:30] hello, maybe I am putting the wrong thing into google... but how do you run 32 bit apps on a 64 bit host? It comes working standard on desktop versions of ubuntu, what packae(s) am I missing? [03:30] package(s)** [03:30] overrider: I assume hardware raid. If you make a logical volume on it (most raid software does this) Ubuntu only sees it as one volume and doesnt care what raid you use. So yes, grups should work. [03:31] AtomicSpark: software raid6 made using mdadm [03:31] phunyguy: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs [03:31] hah, thanks [03:31] overrider: I don't know what that is :< [03:32] hah thats a funny screenname - aziz LIGHTS! [03:33] love that movie!~ [03:33] anyway, bbiab, thanks! [04:02] overrider: grub2 can boot from raid5, at least, but I *strongly* recommend you leave /boot outside the RAID5/6 array (i.e. make /boot a separate RAID1 array) [05:03] twb: So basically create a /boot (and maybe / and /swap) partition on two disks using raid1, install the system there. Then after installation setup the rest of the space and extra disks as a big /data partition using raid6? [05:06] overrider: uh, no, RAID1 all the disks for /boot [05:07] all 8 disks hmm [06:08] Hmm its still unclear - with 6 or 8 Drives, and id like to set them up as a raid6, should i make my /boot a raid1 (yes), but how to do it across all drives? Or put /boot on the first two and configure the other 6 as spares? [06:30] hi ^_^ i have a server on which i would like to install freenx and a rudimentary xfce. how would i proceed to achieve the latter? something like sudo apt-get install xfce4? or is there a way to get just the x-windows system and xfce with no clutter ? [06:37] Ok fun, just created a raid1 partition using 6 Drives - i thought it needs exactly 2 [07:22] <[biabia]> about to attempt install, first time. in ubuntu server 10.04 if i choose to install kde desktop i found this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community//InstallingKDE I am wondering if I need to install any other repos first [07:23] <[biabia]> for example as on this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=621716 [09:11] <_ruben> [biabia]: server + kde = desktop != server [09:12] jamespage, for info, the server (and alternate) images are uninstallable this morning.

[09:41] <_ruben> overrider: nope [09:41] <_ruben> [biabia]: i have no idea what you just said [09:44] <[biabia]> my router is linksys wrt160n. the configuration is via browser [09:45] <[biabia]> if i dont install a gui, i wouldnt have a way to access it [09:51] Greetings all. Recently updated from 8LTS to 10LTS on one of my servers, but not my cron.daily and cron.hourly jobs don't run [09:51] Does anyone have a link to a known case of how to fix that? [09:53] [biabia]: did you try w3m? It's a decent text based browser, maybe it offers enough functionality to control the unit [09:54] <[biabia]> hmm no, ill have to try it tetet thanks [10:06] Is "sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb" still a valid way to have sdb have the exact same partitioning scheme as sda? [10:08] yeah [10:25] Anyone have any information on why an 8LTS to 10LTS would cause the cron.daily and cron.hourly jobs to stop working completely? [10:26] sorry, that's 8LTS to 10LTS upgrade [10:49] <[biabia]> My server install keeps hanging at the "wiping swap space for security" screen at 21% completion. Any ideas why?

[13:31] yes [13:31] im going to use x2go, but jo-erlend told me not to install gnome just install x2go-server and chrome [13:31] *going to use chrome [13:32] and x2goclient on my windows computer [13:32] the reason for it is to improve performance / compression of the desktop image as its sent from server to you [13:32] yes but how can i installed it on a windows computer, even possible?

I've been curious about how ubuntu stuff works on there, but because of the lag, it hasn't been interesting enough to pay for :) [13:44] lag? where are you? [13:44] Norway. [13:45] The only lag I noticed was when I was using the asian servers [13:45] I live next to the east us site, and ireland one was speedy to me [13:45] haven't done one at the west coast though [13:47] wheres the asian servers? [13:47] im connecting from middle east to US-east region [13:47] i see some lag soimetimes [13:47] singapore [13:55] heh.. Complicated stuff.

[14:08] I have a wireless network with 30 users, I want to make sure that each user receives a minimum bandwidth - if I use member:tc qdisc will i need to create a class for each user and then a filter for each user for each class?

I'm trying to figure out how to configure it to admin 2 different DB servers but the config files aren't the same as when i've installed this manually. I could use help fnding where to put my DB configs. [15:04] geekbri: don't use it, but you could do a "find" for the config files you normally use to see if they are on the system [15:05] ikonia: ok, i just figured it might be a bad idea to just plow the default way they had the files setup.... so it's probably safe to just overwrite the config.inc.php they use? [15:06] sorry, I wasn't saying do what you normally do, I was saying look for the file names you normally use, they must just be in a different location [15:07] well they have some strange setup going on that i'm just not used to. I found the config.in.php in /etc/phpmyadmin and then there is also config-db.php which is generated by /etc/dbconfig-common which is used by the installer [15:07] however, I see how to add 1 DB to it. i don't see how i would add a second. [15:07] maybe i just cant. [15:12] geekbri: I know what you mean, some of the layouts can be confusing if you're used to a "stock" layout [15:22] Daviey: hey, setting up eucalyptus on maverick - is it ok to use virbr0 as its bridge?

[15:25] yeah, i'm looking through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/PackageInstall [15:25] hallyn, normally we use br0 [15:25] i'm using wireless though, so can't put wlan0 on br0 [15:25] I've never tried to use virbr0, it might work... but not something i've experimented with [15:25] all right, well, trying it, will see :) [15:26] hallyn, Let me know how it turns out :) === jcastro_ is now known as jcastro [15:39] hallyn, if you get a functional cloud.. would you be able to test a package... jamespage is working on one of the depends, 'groovy, for a late natty merge... and it would be a valid test to know if it works on maverick [15:40] Euca is currently too broken in natty to make it a useful test, and it would help highlight potential breakage. [15:42] Does anybody know if it's possible to make Ubuntu connect to a wireless network BEFORE logging in? [15:47] Roasted_, on server? [15:49] if my tc filter class has a rate set to 100bps, and set to handle traffic tagged with 5 - does that mean that every connection --set-mark connection from iptables gets 100bps, or collectively all traffic with mark 5 shares 100bps? [15:52] Daviey: still trying. it doesn't want to start any instances. I think my nc (which is all on teh same host :) is not working right [15:53] Ooooo... same host stuff is always traumatic [15:53] hallyn, not right now, but can you add your thoughts to bug 590201 please?

My boss is tinkering with the idea of introducing it on the small scale to the district to save costs.

I know I need samba... [16:27] AH! [16:27] you dont need anything [16:27] And here's a road block [16:27] Daviey: I commented on that bug. IMO its an issue w/ rc-sysinit letting services start w/o networking configured.. [16:27] it pulls in what you need [16:27] i just had to complain on the public internetz, and now it works [16:27] Default Kerberos version 5 realm [16:27] what do I use? [16:27] kirkland: ping [16:27] it uses its own software suite to integrate [16:28] like i said though, if you have a linux fileserver (OpenFiler for instance) - the UIDs and GIDs between users wont match, and you will need a way of getting them to match up or it wont work. [16:29] * SpamapS heads off to SCALE [16:29] SpamapS, Hmm.. tell me it's an upstart issue so we can jump on James :) [16:29] hi. I am wondering what is required to get http://packages.debian.org/sid/bitcoin-cli added to ubuntu? [16:29] so if thats the case, stick with winbind and may the force be with you [16:29] phunyguy, were on a windows network [16:29] Daviey: added upstart task already. :) [16:29] think that'd be an issue? [16:30] secondly, what if I DID have openfiler. I can only imagine the UID and GID BS would drive me nuts. What would be the work around? [16:30] its not at all, until you try to share files from a linux server, even 99% windows, some places always have 1. [16:30] phunyguy, I'm just trying to understand "what if" here. [16:30] "what if" we had openfiler. [16:31] Roasted_ unfortunately that is beyond the scope of my knowledge, i gave up on it, but you would need an app of some sort to do UID and GID mapping on the openfiler box. [16:31] phunyguy, I see. So it sounds like there could be a workaround. [16:31] the likewise UIDs that it uses arent the AD SIDs [16:31] they are proprietary, and thats what it sends as its UID to openfiler [16:32] openfiler uses winbind which has a completely different set of numbers [16:32] lol [16:32] SpamapS, awesome [16:32] the good news is, likewise open clients connecting to each other will see the same numbers [16:33] and anything going out to AD will work as well [16:33] the computer accounts even come up with Ubuntu listed in the OS box in the account properties [16:38] phunyguy, so I have likewise open installed. [16:38] and I'm almost sitting here like, okay, waht next? [16:39] lol... so where do I go from here? Can I test a domain account or am I not that far yet? [16:58] phunyguy, sigh.

[19:41] axisys: Also, you might want to try sudo ufw disable on the server and retest, just in case...

I've kept sda in place because I've been mounting it to get files from it, and also because that's where grub is. [20:00] Now I'm wanting to move grub away so I can remove the old drive, but I'm having a bit of trouble. [20:00] From what I've found, what I want to do is run grub-install /dev/sdb, but this gives me a stream of "Discarding improperly nested partition" errors, followed by "This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible" [20:01] And then "error: embedding is not possible, but this is required when the root device is on a RAID array or LVM volume." [20:01] I have the three drives partitioned so that I have a small raid1 array for /boot and the rest for the raid5 array, which I've used for LVM [20:02] Ideally grub would install on all three drives in the array in case the first one fails, but for now I'm just trying to cut the attachment to the old drive, and would appreciate some pointers on what I need to do [20:12] jmarsden|work: arp -a is the command to see arp table ? [20:16] im installing ubuntu server , at partition disks what i need to set?

Logical volume management.

Read the Server Guide to get started... [22:02] <[biabia]> okie!! thanks jmarsden and guntbert :) [22:09] Hey all! I have a stupid question I guess about network authen. [22:09] I'm looking to make an Ubuntu server to file and printer share [22:09] and network authenticate [22:10] Would you recommend Samba + LDAP for this? [22:11] anyone going to take a shot at this? :P [22:13] asadeddin: samba will work for Windows-style SMB file and printer sharing. What you use for authentication depends on how many users, existing infrastructure, etc. [22:13] I see [22:13] asadeddin: Have you read through the Server Guide about installing samba (and about network auth for that matter)? [22:14] Well not a big number of users. Just 8 - 10, and I want to make Fat clients [22:14] I'm skimming through it as we speak, but I'm a little confused as to what's the difference between LDAP and openLDAP [22:14] Then LDAP may be overkill. Just read the server guide and install samba, and do not mess with LDAP at all yet. [22:15] oh I see... so will Samba be able to do the network auth? I will def. give it a good read [22:16] asadeddin: What exactly do you mean by "network auth"... read the Guide. Add users to the server as needed. use smbpasswd to set their SMB (Samba) passwords. [22:18] I mean, Fat Clients. [22:20] : I'm looking for users to login to their computers through the network, and the network will load their files and save them back to the server [22:21] maybe that's a better explanation [22:22] For that you probably need to set up samba as a PDC, and then have the client machines use Windows-style network auth against that. I still don't think you *need* LDAP. [22:24] so what would handle the windows-style network auth? [22:24] asadeddin: jmarsden is right...the login/pass is passed back to the samba server....set it with smbpasswd like he said. [22:24] i see [22:24] so I would be able to do the windows-style network auth through Samba? [22:24] if auth fails you will be prompted like usual [22:24] yes [22:25] aha! Thanks! I will investigate more into this. [22:25] Thanks all! i appreciate your patience ;) [22:26] You're welcome. [22:26] also one more thing [22:27] will other users be able to use another computer? like if i was on A computer, and wanted to login to computer B, will it be the samething. Like a floating user? [22:28] yea whatever username/pass you login into the windows box with will be sent to the samba server. [22:28] asadeddin: You can set up what Windows calls "roaming profiles", yes. [22:28] Anyways, thanks again! [22:28] :D [22:29] whats the command to add dependencies in ubuntu server? and which dependency has java? [22:30] hydrozii: do you want java?

[22:34] for the openjdk-jre I don't think you need any changes to source.list...for the sun version [22:34] it will find you hashed line [22:34] for repo [22:34] yes you need unhash the line [22:34] unhash it and apt-get update [22:35] hydrozii: Why is your /etc/apt/sources.list file empty?? How did that happen? [22:35] then apt-cache search sun-java ;) [22:35] szpuni: No, he asked for openjdk.

[23:10] hydrozii: thats not really something one can infer from a timeout [23:11] air^: it was just a question. I was in this channel and thought maybe someone here might use a mac and might know the answer [23:12] so what can i do? just wait? [23:12] shaggy2: I use mac. No need for a virus scanner.

[23:47] so i need to download that [23:47] 7.10 kb [23:48] ...and the packages that it depends on.
