[00:42] <atari2600a> right, so, I just realized why my VM wasn't hitting the internet
[00:43] <atari2600a> it's not even getting out of my host machine
[00:43] <atari2600a> is there some sort of port forwarding I need to enable on ubuntu-desktop?
[00:57] <jmarsden> You need to set up the VM to bridge to a real LAN interface, I suspect, not just to an internal network for VMs.  What are you using to run VMs? kvm, or virtualbox, or something else?
[00:57] <jmarsden> atari2600a: ^^
[01:00] <atari2600a> virtualbox, but I already have port forwarding through NAT set up
[01:00] <atari2600a> I can access the server from the host, just not within the LAN
[01:06] <jmarsden> NAt will do outbound only... for inbound you need to set the virtualbox VM setting to bridged and select the relevant network device, usually eth0
[01:07] <jmarsden> Shut down the VM, change that setting, and restart it.
[01:10] <jmarsden> Incidentally, this is documented at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/Networking if you read it carefully.
[01:13] <atari2600a> ...but I have port forwarding
[01:13] <atari2600a> I have already established it recieves inbound
[01:13] <atari2600a> I SSH into it regularly
[01:15] <jmarsden> Either try it my way, or read the docs, or... try some other way to make it work that you know about and I don't :)
[01:15] <jmarsden> atari2600a: To quote the wiki page I pointed you to: "Connecting a virtual machine through NAT will allow the guest to connect to systems on the network (including the host or some website). A machine on the network will not be able to initiate a connection to the guest though."
[01:16] <jmarsden> atari2600a: I have around 14 virtualbox VMs here, most of them are Debian or Ubuntu...
[01:20] <atari2600a> okay so now I can't even SSH into it
[01:21] <jmarsden> It's now in bridge mode?
[01:22] <jmarsden> Or you still don't believe me and don't believe the help page either??
[01:23] <atari2600a> it's in bridge, you provided sufficient evidence for it
[01:23] <atari2600a> but the wiki page is out of date
[01:24] <atari2600a> says to modprobe a vbox networknig module
[01:24] <atari2600a> is that still needed?
[01:25] <jmarsden> No, it shoudn't be.  The VM has a static IP that is part of the LAN IP range, right?
[01:26] <jmarsden> As in, you edited  /etc/network/interfaces in the server running inside the VM and set it up with a static IP... correct?
[01:27] <atari2600a> no, I kinda forgot :P
[01:27] <atari2600a> I'll have to unload the host's now-unneeded static IP first I suppose
[01:27] <atari2600a> but first, let's pkill vbox so I can get it running w/ a head this time...
[01:28] <jmarsden> Well, as long as you assign a different static IP to the VM, what IP the host is on is somewhat irrelevant.
[01:29] <atari2600a> it's the only static on the network so I prefer the end of the range
[01:29] <atari2600a> AKA *.149
[01:30] <jmarsden> Use whatever addressing scheme makes sense to you, just don't have two machines or devices (real or virtual) with the same IP :)
[01:30] <atari2600a> see you on the other side
[01:33] <jmarsden> atari2600a: welcome back :)
[01:36] <rnigam> jmarsden: ubuntu-vm-builder is vmbuilder now
[01:36] <rnigam> ?
[01:36] <rnigam> from 10.10
[01:37] <rnigam> most of the documentation on kvm has ubuntu-vm-builder mentioned still !
[01:37] <jmarsden> rnigam: Well, vmbuilder is a sucessor to ubuntu-vm-builder.
[01:38] <jmarsden> rnigam: Go ahead and update, but remember most people doing VM may use Ubuntu server, 10.04 LTS is still the norm for servers.
[01:39] <rnigam> Do you think I should go back to 10.04 LTS? I only plan to do some kvm experiments for a month or so !
[01:40] <jmarsden> atari2600a: So, does your VM work now?
[01:40] <jmarsden> rnigam: No, use whatever Ubuntu server you already have installed.
[01:49] <atari2600a> jmarsden, better, thanks to you
[01:49] <jmarsden> atari2600a: Good :)
[01:49] <atari2600a> I can access it from within the LAN, but I'm having a little trouble getting past the router
[01:49] <jmarsden> That's port forwarding... make and model of router?
[01:49] <atari2600a> also no more need for outragious ports (8080, 2222 :P)
[01:50] <atari2600a> some shitty linksys wireless-n
[01:50] <atari2600a> I already got port forwarding set up & disabled the firewall for shits & giggles
[01:50] <atari2600a> still can't access it through a proxy
[01:50] <atari2600a> (& yes I'm refreshing through the proxy, not the web browser :P)
[01:51] <jmarsden> Don't leave yourself wide open!  OK... what is the IP and port you think you have port forwarded to the VM ?
[01:51] <atari2600a> hold on
[01:51] <atari2600a> & it was just the router firewall
[01:52] <atari2600a> http://216.93.215.153/
[01:52] <atari2600a> just tried that IP from within the network...DSL admin login
[01:53] <atari2600a> I wonder if I can find the default user/pass for this make & model...
[01:53] <jmarsden> You seem to have the ssh port forwarded but not port 80, to me.
[01:53] <atari2600a> well I did use the router's built-in presets for HTTP, FTP...
[01:53] <atari2600a> let's see...
[01:54] <jmarsden> Um... "I already got port forwarding set up" -- and now you do not know the password??
[01:54] <jmarsden> atari2600a: What LAN IP did you point them at, is the question that now needs asking...
[01:56] <atari2600a> jmarsden, for the router, not the modem
[01:56] <Guest5435> whats the ammount of bandwith does a social networking site have
[01:56] <Guest5435> take i mnean
[01:56] <atari2600a> Guest5435, wrong network, you're looking for irc,anonops.net
[01:56] <jmarsden> atari2600a: Your port 22 is apparently connecting to some embedded linux not Ubuntu (unless you installed dropbear sshd on the Ubuntu server VM, which seems unlikely)
[01:56] <atari2600a> & I'm sure somewhere close to the terabits
[01:57] <atari2600a> jmarsden, yeah I think the modem has busybox or something
[01:57] <jmarsden> atari2600a: But it shouldn't leave its ssh port open to the public Internet!
[01:57] <Guest5435> can you please provide me the channel
[01:58] <atari2600a> jmarsden, it's a small ISP :P
[01:58] <jmarsden> BTW if it is a modem it wouldn't even have an IP address, so it must be a router :)
[01:58] <atari2600a> Guest5435, if you can't even use a real IRC client you'll get either laughed out of the network, banned, or hacked to hell
[01:59] <atari2600a> jmarsden, the HTTP login says 'DSL login' :P
[02:01] <jmarsden> OK... on the Linksys that your Ubuntu host PC is connected to, what is the WAN IP set to?  216.93.215.153 , or something else?
[02:01] <atari2600a> let me check the logs
[02:01] <jmarsden> Or just log into the Linksys :)
[02:01] <rnigam> 'vmbuilder' option to create kvm guest from iso ? Anyone?
[02:02] <atari2600a> 10.202.46.2 ; different from what whatismyip reports apperantly
[02:02] <atari2600a> jmarsden, which is where it's logged :P
[02:03] <atari2600a> turns out it had it's own status page, though
[02:03] <jmarsden> OK, so you have double hop NAT through two routers... ugh
[02:03] <jmarsden> So you need to do port forwarding in BOTH of them.
[02:04] <atari2600a> kinda figured, & I don't think my ISP allows users to dick around in the DSL modem
[02:04] <jmarsden> Or put the upstream one into "bridge mode" if you can and if the ISP lets you.
[02:04] <atari2600a> balls
[02:04] <jmarsden> Then I'd say you are trying to run servers on a home DSL line and your Terms of Service prohibit that.
[02:04] <atari2600a> I'm gonna go see if I can find the default user/pass on the modem
[02:06] <rnigam> jmarsden: vmbuilder option to create kvm guests from iso?
[02:07] <jmarsden> I don't think there is "one option" for that :)  man vmbuilder, and see the (possibly old) tutorial at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JeOSVMBuilder
[02:08] <jmarsden> rnigam: You might want to consider using virt-install instead, by the way.
[02:13] <Jasonn> does anyone know of an eggdrop alternative?
[02:18] <jmarsden> Jasonn: apt-cache search irc | grep bot     # should provide a few to try... :)
[02:19] <Jasonn> thx
[02:26] <atari2600a> well, some good news & some bad news
[02:26] <atari2600a> good news is my ISP was durr enough to not change the default root password
[02:26] <atari2600a> (12345)
[02:26] <atari2600a> bad news is it's still not working
[02:29] <jmarsden> atari2600a: I'm not going to help you break the AUP or TOS you agreed to... and I strongly suspect it says "no running servers" or words to that effect.
[02:30] <atari2600a> well, it KINDA does
[02:30] <jmarsden> Besides, this is not really a #ubuntu-server issue at this point.
[02:30] <atari2600a> it says if you wanna run a shitload of up bandwidth you need a small business account, but home servers are okay
[02:30] <atari2600a> this is for a business blog really, but nothing to shit bricks over :P
[02:31] <atari2600a> anywho, the real solution is "bug father to get comcast because we're getting no more than 400KB down / 75KB up" :P
[02:31] <atari2600a> thanks for all the help jmarsden
[02:31] <atari2600a> leaving now
[02:31] <jmarsden> You're welcome.
[03:17] <highvoltage> kirkland: I read you're in Cape Town this weekend. having fun?
[03:22] <dv310p3r> How do I enable SFTP?
[03:35] <rnigam> Might be a dumb question but while using virt-install do we have to first create a disk image of certain size and then specify the iso file to be used for  installation?
[04:03] <jmarsden> rnigam: Did you man virt-install?   --disk option, has lots of options...   basically you can create the image first, or let virt-install do it for you... read the docs :)
[04:11] <thesheff17_> rnigam: virt install reads vmbuilder.partition from the local disk.  Here is an example of mine http://pastebin.com/X0CRvqWm
[04:15] <dv310p3r> how is it that I can SSH into my server but I can't SFTP into it?
[04:17] <EvilPhoenix> dv310p3r:  are you using SFTP right?
[04:17] <EvilPhoenix> because sftp corresponds to your SSH login
[04:17] <EvilPhoenix> and the ssh port too
[04:17] <dv310p3r> sftp root@ipaddress
[04:18] <EvilPhoenix> okay, lemme ask this a different way...
[04:18] <dv310p3r> EvilPhoenix, sftp root@ipaddress
[04:18] <EvilPhoenix> assuming i KNOW the command
[04:18] <EvilPhoenix> did you configure a non-standard port for SSH into the box?
[04:18] <EvilPhoenix> or did you leave it at 22
[04:18] <dv310p3r> EvilPhoenix, I haven't changed it, so it should be 22.
[04:18] <dv310p3r> EvilPhoenix, where can i check that
[04:19] <EvilPhoenix> dv310p3r:  in your sshd_config file on your server box
[04:19] <EvilPhoenix> dv310p3r:  if you didnt mess with the configs yourself, then you could assume its 22
[04:19] <EvilPhoenix> in which case sftp SHOULD be defaulting to 22...
[04:19] <dv310p3r> EvilPhoenix, I assume its 22 as I haven't changed it,
[04:20] <dv310p3r> EvilPhoenix, where can i find the sshd_config file
[04:20] <EvilPhoenix> okay, lets try this command: sftp -oPort=22 root@ipaddress
[04:20] <EvilPhoenix> that should tell it to use port 22 (in case your sftp isnt already trying that port)
[04:21] <EvilPhoenix> actually
[04:21] <EvilPhoenix> lets try this intead
[04:21] <EvilPhoenix> instead*
[04:21] <EvilPhoenix> sftp -vv root@ipaddress
[04:21] <EvilPhoenix> it'll spit out detailed issues
[04:21] <EvilPhoenix> details*
[04:21] <dv310p3r> I'm sorry for not being more detailed myself. It's a password issue.
[04:21] <dv310p3r> Permission Denied.
[04:21] <EvilPhoenix> oic
[04:22] <dv310p3r> However using root I can ssh into the box just fine.
[04:22] <EvilPhoenix> then your password might have been entered wrong
[04:22] <EvilPhoenix> go into your box as root
[04:22] <EvilPhoenix> and run: passwd
[04:22] <EvilPhoenix> make sure you got the right password in the system
[04:22] <EvilPhoenix> i've had those issues with sftp but not ssh once or twice
[04:22] <EvilPhoenix> and i just redid passwd and it seems to have worked
[04:23] <EvilPhoenix> so you are saying its denying your password?
[04:23] <EvilPhoenix> even if thats the case do the sftp -vv
[04:23] <EvilPhoenix> because that'll confirm if its your passcode
[04:25] <EvilPhoenix> if its the pw, it'll say the password was rejected
[04:25] <dv310p3r> It's crazy, still no dice
[04:25] <EvilPhoenix> so, its still rejecting the passcode even thoug hyou changed it
[04:25] <dv310p3r> -vv tells me a bunch of stuff, but near the bottom before it asks me for the password it says.

[04:27] <dv310p3r> Permission denied, please try again.
[04:27] <dv310p3r> root@ipaddress's password:
[04:27] <dv310p3r> sorry for so much info. I tried to change some of it, but fuck it.
[04:27] <dv310p3r> Anyhow if you look at the Offering public key, why's it trying to use my home dir public key
[04:29] <EvilPhoenix> ooo
[04:29] <EvilPhoenix> because that's the pubkey its supposed to be using
[04:29] <dv310p3r> ok
[04:29] <EvilPhoenix> because it tries to defaultly get your user's pubkey from your computer (and it isnt in authorized_keys on the server or this error wouldnt exist)
[04:29] <EvilPhoenix> having said this
[04:29] <EvilPhoenix> either the passkey data is messed up
[04:29] <EvilPhoenix> or sftp on your system is messed
[04:30] <dv310p3r> damnit.
[04:30] <EvilPhoenix> if its passkey
[04:30] <EvilPhoenix> that's fixable
[04:30] <EvilPhoenix> if sftp is messed, that's tricky
[04:30] <EvilPhoenix> so
[04:30] <dv310p3r> I have no understanding of all that passkey and rsa stuff.
[04:31] <EvilPhoenix> on the box after you ssh into root
[04:31] <EvilPhoenix> passwd
[04:31] <EvilPhoenix> run that
[04:31] <EvilPhoenix> put the password in
[04:31] <EvilPhoenix> it should then work correctly
[04:32] <EvilPhoenix> otherwise, i can walk you through putting your public ssh key up to authorized_hosts (like i configure all my servers), so that it doesnt always require the password
[04:33] <dv310p3r> Ok, so that didn't work.
[04:33] <dv310p3r> but the other day I was with a friend who did something like what you described because we were setting up git
[04:34] <dv310p3r> He said if we did that public ssh thing we wouldn't have to put in the password.
[04:34] <EvilPhoenix> lolololololol
[04:34] <dv310p3r> now whenever I connect via ssh I don't have to put in the pass
[04:34] <EvilPhoenix> gitosis
[04:34] <EvilPhoenix> right...
[04:34] <dv310p3r> gitosis?
[04:34] <EvilPhoenix> dv310p3r:  it should be working then, because sftp also looks at that too
[04:34] <EvilPhoenix> yes, "setting up git"
[04:34] <dv310p3r> right
[04:34] <EvilPhoenix> were you setting up a git server?
[04:34] <dv310p3r> yes
[04:34] <EvilPhoenix> that explains a lot
[04:34] <EvilPhoenix> its a pita to configure
[04:35] <EvilPhoenix> and you can definitely fubar other things :P
[04:36] <EvilPhoenix> i gave up on setting up gitosis, just am sticking with an upgraded git account with private repositories
[04:36] <EvilPhoenix> which works surprisingly well
[04:36] <EvilPhoenix> but that might have interfered in your ability to sftp
[04:36] <EvilPhoenix> no clue how to fix it, though...
[04:37] <dv310p3r> np thanks anyways
[04:46] <rnigam> why do we get "open /dev/kvm: Permission denied" error while installing a kvm guest in ubuntu server 10.10 ? I did add the user to the kvm group.
[04:46] <jmarsden> rnigam: Did you log out and back in again as that user after adding him to the group?
[04:47] <rnigam> yes i did
[04:49] <jmarsden> OK, does    id -rn -G USERNAME      show the user to be in the kvm group?
[04:49] <rnigam> ok I logged out and logged in... and used the following command tocreate a kvm machine:     sudo virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n ubuntu-vm1 -r 204                                                                             8 --vcpus=4 -f /root/vmimages/kvm1.qcow2 -s 12 --cpuset=4,5,6,7 -c /root/vmimage
[04:49] <rnigam> s/ubuntu-10.10-server-amd64.iso --os-type linux --network bridge=virbr0 --accele                                                                             rate --virt-type kvm --hvm --vnc --noautoconsole
[04:50] <thesheff17_> rnigam: do you have the CPU virtualization enable in the BIOS? do kvm-ok
[04:50] <rnigam> Now I get this error: ERROR    operation failed: failed to retrieve chardev info in qemu with 'info chardev'
[04:50] <rnigam> rnigam@ubuntu:~$ kvm-ok
[04:50] <rnigam> INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions
[04:50] <rnigam> INFO: /dev/kvm exists
[04:50] <rnigam> KVM acceleration can be used
[04:51] <thesheff17_> rnigam: looks good
[04:52] <rnigam> thesheff17: Any idea about the error? operation failed: failed to retrieve chardev info in qemu with 'info chardev'
[04:54] <thesheff17_> rnigam: that /dev/kvm error is weird.. make sure you have all these packages apt-get install kvm libvirt-bin python-virtinst virt-manager virt-viewer kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder qemu bridge-utils
[04:55] <rnigam> the /dev/kvm error no longer shows... I had to restart the server
[04:55] <thesheff17_> ah ok
[04:55] <rnigam> thesheff17: But this is the error I am getting now:  failed to retrieve chardev info in qemu with 'info chardev'
[05:00] <thesheff17_> rnigam: I'm not sure...looked a little on google there was one bug where the server was too old to support virtualization...though your kvm-ok looks fine.  I also haven't used 10.10 for this.  10.04 seems fine for me right now.
[05:01] <thesheff17_> rnigam: can you try virt-manager
[05:01] <thesheff17_> wonder if it is a bug directly related to virt-install
[05:02] <thesheff17_> rnigam: I would also check your BIOS and make sure all virtualization is enabled.
[05:04] <rnigam> thesheff17: Server is the latest from Dell and has 6100 amd opterons on it. BIOS has the virtualization enabled
[05:04] <thesheff17_> rnigam: try running it as root and not use sudo
[05:04] <thesheff17_> rnigam: I see some people complaining about permission suff.
[05:05] <thesheff17_> bug #702741 sounds just like your problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/702741
[05:06] <rnigam> thesheff17: Did that but the same error
[05:06] <rnigam> uvirtbot: what is the fix?
[05:08] <thesheff17_> rnigam: I'm not sure..user uvirtbot is just a computer that will explain the bug..not actually a human.
[05:09] <rnigam> i am sorry I am new to IRC's
[05:09] <rnigam> thanks for pointing that out.
[05:10] <rnigam> so the bot says that fix is released, thesheff17 do you know how to find that fix?
[05:10] <rnigam> I am going nowhere trying to look it on the launchpad
[05:11] <thesheff17_> rnigam: yea I would try using virt-manager and see if that just installs a vm through an iso..if that works there may be a bug or something wrong with what you are passing to virt-install
[05:12] <cavoo1101> i hope someone can help me. for the last few days, i cannot access internet on my ec2 instance. i can ping but wget, apt-get etc. time out. it was working perfectly fine last week. and i haven't made any changes in the last week.
[05:13] <rnigam> thesheff17: I thought virt-manager is not for the server version ! Meaning doesnt it need a GUI?
[05:14] <thesheff17_> rnigam: um yea virt-manager is a GUI app it can connect to a remote ubuntu server running libvirt & qemu
[05:15] <thesheff17_> try a simple command like this: virt-install -n web_devel -r 256 -f web_devel.img -s 4 -c jeos.iso --accelerate --vnc --noautoconsole also try it withoutASDF
[05:15] <thesheff17_> --accelerate
[05:16] <thesheff17_> cavoo1101: sounds like a firewall security group issue.
[05:17] <cavoo1101> thesheff17: how can i make sure? i haven't made any changes since the last time it worked.
[05:20] <thesheff17_> cavoo1101: so you have ssh access?  Try running this script...it turns off all iptables rules: http://pastebin.com/MSaAsaaC
[05:26] <cavoo1101> thesheff17: that didn't work.
[05:27] <thesheff17_> cavoo1101: so wget http://www.google.com doesn't work but you can ping it?
[05:27] <cavoo1101> yea
[05:27] <rnigam> thesheff17: Will try that out thanks.
[05:29] <thesheff17_> cavoo1101: that is very strange.... does wget http://74.125.225.18/ work? that is just google.com ip.
[05:29] <cavoo1101> thesheff17: no
[05:29] <cavoo1101> thesheff17: so far, only ping works.
[05:30] <thesheff17_> cavoo1101: well ping is a different protocol than http....still sounds like something wrong with a local firewall.
[05:31] <cavoo1101> thesheff17: i have already disabled the firewall
[05:31] <quentusrex> Anyone familiar with ubuntu snmpd? I seem to be unable to query for an extend command. I'm trying "snmpwalk -c public -v 1 192.168.100.55 test1" with this line in the snmpd.conf file "extend    test1   /bin/echo  Hello, world!"
[05:31] <thesheff17_> cavoo1101: I would check the security groups through the AWS management console.
[05:33] <cavoo1101> thesheff17: here's the output from ec2-describe-group: http://pastebin.com/FjuUMfka
[05:34] <thesheff17_> cavoo1101: yea that looks fine..it is very strange that http doesn't work & ssh/ping works.
[05:35] <cavoo1101> thesheff17: the web server on the instance works fine too
[05:36] <thesheff17_> cavoo1101: pastebin sudo iptables -L
[05:38] <cavoo1101> thesheff17: http://pastebin.com/46eMHPys
[05:39] <thesheff17_> cavoo1101: looks fine
[05:39] <thesheff17_> cavoo1101: not sure why you couldn't use apt-get or wget.
[05:39] <cavoo1101> thesheff17: it's driving me nuts
[05:40] <thesheff17_> cavoo1101: yea I have never seen that before ever on EC2....maybe open a support ticket with amazon.
[05:40] <thesheff17_> cavoo1101: try emailing the ec2 ubuntu group may also have some other suggestions.
[05:41] <cavoo1101> thesheff17: yeah okay. i'll do that. thanks for your help.
[05:41] <thesheff17_> cavoo1101: np...I would also do a full backup and try rebooting if you are using an EBS volume instance
[05:42] <cavoo1101> thesheff17: yeah i'll do that if all else fails
[07:42] <DigitalFlux> Hi
[07:42] <DigitalFlux> Anybody knows of a way to "include" files from within /etc/networki/interfaces ?
[08:11] <thesheff17_> DigitalFlux: I'm pretty sure I just used include before.  I can't find any docs on how I did it but I would do it for an iptables script I had.
[08:47] <andol> thesheff17_: Sure the iptables script was an include, and not something like a pre-up script?
[08:52] <Uhu> Hello I have an issue with Postfix and Submission. I enabled Submission-Port, but I can send only through port 25 - submission ends with Client host rejected. http://pastebin.com/pnd8U04t - Short Logs and Extract from config. Anyone an idea? (I know I should ask #postfix but they are quite for hours)
[09:28] <mpathy> Hi there.. I forgot the upgrade on one server (shame on me) and now it is 9.04 there
[09:28] <mpathy> What problems I could discover when upgrading now to the LTS Release?
[09:29] <mpathy> If I understand it right, I have to do two upgrades, first on 9.10 and then on the LTS
[09:29] <greppy> mpathy: that's going to depend on what packages you have installed, there should be info on the website as far as changes between releases.
[09:30] <mpathy> You mean I could update directly to the LTS
[09:31] <mpathy> and another question, will it work properly when I use screen while upgrading? Because I have no local access to the machine only SSH
[09:31] <greppy> I'm not sure if you can go directly to LTS
[09:31] <greppy> I generally only run LTS releases.
[09:33] <mpathy> greppy: I also only, in future.. *sigh* :)
[09:34] <mpathy> And the second question? Will it be a problem when I am using screen, and be in a screen while "do-release-upgrade"?
[09:35] <greppy> mpathy: I've done upgrades from within screen before without problems.
[09:35] <greppy> not saying you won't, but I haven't :)
[09:37] <mpathy> greppy: Okay because I want to continue work if lost connection and so I would use screen but I do not know what happens with update of screen then
[11:03] <pehden> simple question what is needed for proftp conf to restrict users to home but allow certian user to not be restricted
[11:04] <pehden> i know its like 6 lines or less
[11:05] <pehden> well

[11:09] <Uhu> Whats the best option to implement IPSec on my Ubuntu-Server? Or should I stick with OpenVPN?
[11:09] <Uhu> IPSec as server
[11:09] <pehden> openvpn may be easier to set up
[11:09] <greppy> Uhu: unless you have a need that is met with ipsec that isn't with openvpn I would stick with openvpn.
[11:10] <Uhu> greppy Security and OpenVPN is quite slowfrom what Ive experienced.
[11:11] <greppy> I haven't seen openvpn be slow at all.
[11:12] <pehden> i never got ovpn to work completly myself
[11:12] <greppy> i've been using it for a while, 10.04 LTS server with debian, ubuntu and windows clients.
[11:13] <pehden> thats what i was trying to set it up on
[11:13] <pehden> the clients would nevr connect
[11:14] <pehden> or at least stay connected
[11:15] <Uhu> Okay I will try to set up my OpenVPN again. I just want people to use the Servers-IP-Adress to connect to the internet.
[11:16] <pehden> greppy: do you know how I can fix my issue
[11:19] <pehden> wow am i hidden?
[11:20] <lenios> no you're not
[11:20] <pehden> ok
[11:20] <pehden> just wondering cause i didnt get any responces at all to my question
[11:31] <pehden> simple question what is needed for proftp conf to restrict users to home but allow certian user to not be restricted
[11:37] <lenios> pehden, you're looking for chroot
[11:38] <lenios> like, http://www.techrepublic.com/article/tech-tip-chroot-users-to-a-specific-directory-with-proftpd/5287480
[11:40] <lenios> to chroot only group of users, http://forums.proftpd.org/smf/index.php?topic=3872.0
[11:40] <pehden> lenios perfect
[11:44] <pehden> lenios I think thats exactly what I found before
[11:45] <pehden> lenios i want to do the chroot to 2 groups
[11:46] <lenios> how many groups do you have?
[11:46] <pehden> lenios but let a third not be under this
[11:47] <pehden> 2 different ones 1 for virtual users another for real users and then mine
[12:10] <pehden> lenios what would i need for 2 different groups
[12:10] <pehden> lenios # Use this to jail all users in their homes
[12:10] <pehden>  DefaultRoot		~		proftpddb
[12:12] <pehden> lenois is the order in reverse for which one takes place
[12:28] <pehden> lenios  thanks alot after reading the ubuntu forum page about 20 times I got it juat how i wanted it
[13:24] <Uhu> Can somebody help me choose the right e-mail filter hardware? Is a dualcore AMD with 2 GB enough to run Spamassasin and Clamav for 77.000 messages (1.000 Real) / day
[13:29] <lenios> Uhu, i'd say yes
[14:16] <Uhu> How do I add IPset module to kernel? (Ubuntu 10.04 LTs) =/

[18:19] <rnigam> what is the best tool to create kvm-guests on ubuntu server 10.10
[18:19] <rnigam> ?
[18:19] <laen> kvm
[18:21] <rnigam> laen: I don't understand you. I already have kvm and libvirt up and running... I already experimented around with virt-install and failed
[18:21]  * Altimizer Is suing ISP for clinically dispossing minds across The United States of America.
[18:23]  * Altimizer rnigam uses the letter tab feature.
[18:26] <laen> rnigam: eh, run kvm or qemu-kvm or whatever it's called with some parameters on a -hda or -drive img?
[18:42] <Altimizer> Anyone know of a good networking-troubleshooting channel?
[19:27] <rnigam> anyone with kvm installation experience here?
[19:53] <Doonz> right now i have one putty client running and it is connect through ssh to my home server. i have a tunnel created through that on port **. how can i open up another putty client and have it connect through that existing tunnel
[20:04] <DrNick_> anyone else notice there seems to be a ridiculous amount of kernel updates lately?
[20:15] <fluvvell> can I translate the setup for ppp0 that works well in NetworkManager into the required scripts for pppd ? I have a working mobile broadband (WAP) in NM but last time I sucessfully used pppd was with dial-up
[21:00] <thesheff17> rnigam: still having problems?
[21:03] <chrislabeard> How can i take a picture with my webcam?
[21:03] <chrislabeard> using terminal
[21:09] <DrNick_> ASCII art image from a webcam, that'd be interesting
[21:09] <chrislabeard> yeah it would be sweet
[21:12] <lenios> http://ascii.dyne.org/
[21:12] <lenios> "HasciiCam makes it possible to have live ascii video on the web. It captures video from a tv card and renders it into ascii letters, formatting the output into an html page with a refresh tag, or in a live ascii window, or in a simple text file."
[21:14] <DrNick_> neat, kinna pointless tho lol
[21:17] <chrislabeard> what is video4linux
[21:20] <lenios> video interface
[21:20] <lenios> you can get webcam signal from video4linux
[21:24] <chrislabeard> I just want to try and record some video from it and then save it somewhere.
[21:25] <chrislabeard> All the programs I've tried have failed
[21:42] <panfist> is it possible to add locations to index with locate/updatedb?
[21:42] <fluvvell> chrislabeard, record some video is a little vague, the mythtv project has heaps of recording stuff - if its analogue video in, you may need a capture card ...
[21:43] <chrislabeard> fluvvell: the streamer program seems to work pretty good
[21:45] <fluvvell> chrislabeard: yes - good cmdline option. Of course most ppl looking for video have a gui to check it out, but if its straight record to file thats a good option.
[21:45] <chrislabeard> k
[22:05] <chrislabeard> how can I create a filename and append the date on it
[22:05] <chrislabeard> do I have to run a script
[22:28] <NicholasRoge> How do I get the php error to display on the page it's occuring at rather than having to go into the apache log to see it?
[22:29] <air^> NicholasRoge: http://php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php
[22:29] <air^> NicholasRoge: just set error reporting to E_ALL in the script you are debugging.
[22:30] <NicholasRoge> Okay, thanks.  :3
[22:32] <NicholasRoge> It just keeps throwing a server error when the php has a problem
[22:34] <RoyK> iirc display errors = yes in php.ini will do a lot
[22:34] <NicholasRoge> Okay
[22:34] <NicholasRoge> I'll check that out
[22:34] <air^> should be about the same thing, but doing it in php.ini will be a global setting.
[22:35] <thesheff17> NicholasRoge: also make sure to restart apache when you change your php.ini
[22:35] <NicholasRoge> Right
[22:39] <talcite> hey guys, I'm running into a dpkg issue on my lucid install. Whenever I try to upgrade or install a new package, I get a dpkg post-install error, with return code 10.
[22:40] <talcite> I've traced the post install script, and I can get it running if I turn off the non-interactive mode (-e), but I'm not sure why that is. Plus it's not a good workaround since I'd need to do it for every package I install/upgrade
[22:40] <NicholasRoge> Nope, that still didn't work.
[22:40] <NicholasRoge> Still throwing a 500 error whenever I try to view the file.
[22:41] <talcite> I've also traced it with the -x option, and it always seems to break right around when dpkg executes ucf (update configuration files)
[22:51] <talcite> ah. I figured it out. The /var/lib/dpkg/info directory had a corrupted ucf template. I just backed up the directory and then deleted everything. It's all working now.
