[02:50] * Datz doubts it [02:50] probably your bandwidth is scarce [02:50] weird [02:51] my VM's taking up all CPU time & network activity spiked when I turned it on [02:51] & I can't get into it [02:53] that's impossible [02:53] this DSL modem can't even do 400KB/s down [02:55] well it's doing SOMETHING [02:55] it's writing to disk here & there [02:56] damnit I knew I shouldn't have limited it to 256MB/RAM [02:59] guess you'll have to wait it out :P [03:00] I pkilled the VM [03:00] booted it up & ran sudo dpkg -C, immediately gave me a thumbs up [03:00] so then if it wasn't updating...then what the fsck... [03:03] I'm playing around with debootstrap and looking at the various files for different distros. Where can I find a decent description of the various lucid variants (in this case buildd fakechroot minbase)? [03:12] Ah, disregard me; the answer's in the debootstrap man page; it seems that's not distro specific. [05:54] I want my DNS server to tell clients on its local network that its FQDN (say, dns.example.com) resolves to the local IP instead of the public one. Obviously, I want it to keep informing non-local clients that its FQDN resolves to its public IP. How do I accomplish this? [05:56] tohuw: My advice is google split zone dns server. [05:57] ScottK: thanks! === Amgine_ is now known as Amgine [07:55] bind9 won't start, but I'm getting no reason why out of /var/log/messages. Is there somewhere else to look? === jamespage1 is now known as jamespage [09:39] So here's an odd problem: I'm trying to ssh into my local DNS server. If I ping it by FQDN (e.g. myserver.site), I get the correct IP address, and the ping times are fine, but there's a very long gap between pings. If I ssh to the FQDN, I get ssh'd into the localhost of whatever machine I'm on! nslookup of the FQDN seems fine... ideas? [10:14] tohuw: did you check the obvious things like : /etc/hosts ~/.ssh/config [10:15] tohuw: also the zones config for your local dns if you have one [10:17] tohuw: also i suspect you did not successfully configure your dns server correctly === airtonix is now known as airtonix_v2 === airtonix_v2 is now known as airtonix === fisted_ is now known as fisted [11:22] hallyn: I've tested the idle cpu thing, with 10.04.2 idle connected to vnc it's 7% (ok), when not connected to vnc console it's (3%) (awesome!). I tried booting my win7 vm with kvm-spice, however I kept running into (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681220) over and over (can't boot) [11:22] bugzilla.redhat.com bug 681220 in qemu "Starting of a virtual machine ends with qemu-kvm: /builddir/build/BUILD/qemu-kvm-0.14.0/qemu-kvm.c:1724: kvm_mutex_unlock: Assertion `!cpu_single_env' failed."

Thanks! [13:10] kim0: uh, we have that patch [13:10] now, maybe my new packaging ended up not applying it... [13:12] * hallyn checks build log [13:14] kim0: zounds! [13:19] (there was no source/format file) [13:23] hallyn: um so we had it or not ?! [13:28] Anybody here? [13:29] Cherish: surely :) [13:31] I enable SSL on Apache, and generate the key by -des3. So when I reboot my system, it required password. [13:31] But after I enter the password , it dead. [13:31] I can't see the login message, it is starting apache all the time. [13:33] And the error is "Init: Private key not found" , but my PATH is right. [13:33] When I generate the key doesn't support password , everything is OK. [13:33] This is why? [13:34] ls [13:35] kim0: it was not being aplied [13:35] kim0: update in about 2 hours, should be there [13:40] Cherish: I suppose because starting apache from the init system is conflicting with your requirement of inputing the encryption password "interactively" ! My initial guess is that it won't be easy [13:41] hallyn: why are ppas so lazy :) can we have it build in like 10 mins .. spawn a cloud builder or something :D [13:43] kim0: Yeah, that's what I mean. [13:43] Do you know the reason? [13:45] Cherish: fraid i don't. I'd suggest opening a bug about it. [13:45] Cherish: is there anything in syslog showing what apaache was up to? [13:46] The error log is "Init: Private key not found" [13:47] I'm sure the Path is right, because when I use the key generated by no -des3, everything is OK. [13:53] Hey, I've got a question. I'm running a Ubuntu 10.10 server and want to change the welcome message. I've already changed the /etc/motd file, unfortunately that did't work. After a reset of the server the file resets with the default information. Can anyone explain how to fix this? [13:57] cavefish: look under /etc/update-motd.d [13:57] cavefish: mounted-varrun.conf appears to regenerated it on boot [13:57] Cherish: any chance you are using the wron gpassphrase? If not, open a bug. [13:59] Cherish: http://www.giantrobot.co.nz/blog/apache-ssl-init-private-key-not-found [14:00] hallyn: My English is not good, I can't express it well..... [14:00] Cherish: I suspect if you cat the two .pems that'll fix it [14:01] I did it , have no effect [14:01] Hey there - I'm trying to recover a 3 drive RAID5 array. It's on desktop but I can't seem to get help in #ubuntu - can anyone help here? [14:02] ttist25: soft raid ? [14:02] ps - it's a dry run - there's no critical data. just trying to figure it out before i need to [14:02] yes [14:02] so what's the problem [14:03] I've got 3 500GB SATA drives setup in RAID5. The OS is installed on the array [14:03] everything works well and I can boot etc [14:03] hi, is there any way to make a screen session page up the same way a non screen session does? [14:04] but i'm trying to test by removing power to one of the drives (sdb) and booting [14:05] but I get dumped to an initramfs prompt because it can't start the array (i've got bootdegraded=trueP [14:05] I think i'm missing something fundamentally [14:06] ttist25: is your /boot on a separate disk ?! [14:06] no [14:06] the os is in the array [14:06] duh, I didn't know one can boot from raid5 [14:06] is that my fundamental error? :) [14:07] ttist25: do all disks have partitions with id "fd" for raid [14:07] ttist25: is there some tutorial you followed setting up /boot on raid5 (I'd wanna know about it) [14:07] on each disk i have a 26gb swap partition and the remainder / [14:08] the / partitions are set with boot flag on [14:08] type fd ? [14:08] hold on i'll shoot you the link [14:08] fdisk -l [14:08] would be good [14:09] here's the link https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/advanced-installation.html [14:09] that's for raid 1 [14:09] but i followed it exactly other than i used 3 disks and selected raid 5 [14:10] it boots fine with all the disks there but i'm trying to figure out how i would recover it [14:10] ps - if you can't tell i'm skating on the edge of noobidity [14:10] Cherish: and the .pem file is readable by user www-data or whoever apache runs as?

Most of the raid5 setups i've seen when googling are 3 disks for the array and then a separate disk for the os (sometimes mirrored in raid1) [14:30] hi [14:30] is there a way to enable logging for fcron periodical command scheduler ?

Now what i want is I want to restrict 3 pcs being login by other users and that 3 pc users can't login to other 17 pc... [18:23] So plz. help me to solve this [18:23] awanti: which ldap server are you using? [18:25] sorry.... which ldap means? [18:25] server, which server [18:25] openldap? [18:25] active directory? [18:26] YES active directory [18:26] ah [18:26] are the desktops kerberized? [18:27] yes... all 20 client pc's are Ubuntu Desktop Edition only [18:27] well, I'll skip that question, and tell you the pam_security way of doing it [18:27] and we have to integrate to Active Directory [18:27] yes plz. [18:28] awanti: look at /etc/security/access.conf [18:28] yes [18:29] look at the man page for access.conf (man access.conf) [18:29] look at the man page for pam_access (man pam_access) [18:29] so, you'll need to enable pam_access in your pam configuration [18:30] then, in access.conf, you'll need to restrict access to root, and whoever you want to restrict access to [18:30] ok ok i got it [18:30] of course, if you are using kerberos, there are likely better ways to do this, like doing so on the AD side, but it's more difficult [18:30] to initially configure anyway [18:31] the kerberos route is likely best if you can do it though [18:31] pam_access will solve your problem though [18:31] yes... [18:31] And i have another question... [18:33] ok [18:33] I want to restrict users to changes in their pc (like wallpaper changes , moving icons, deleting short cuts from desktop etc) [18:34] in gnome? [18:34] yes [18:34] or also kde? [18:34] GNOME [18:40] sorry. was in another window [18:40] I think there is a way to do so [18:40] it's been a while since I've looked at this [18:40] awanti: That's not really on topic for Ubuntu Server. [18:41] that's true [18:41] should likely ask that in #ubuntu [18:41] awanti: take a look at Sabayon, maybe, though [18:42] sabayon is OS right [18:43] awanti: no, a tool to restrict settings in gnome [18:43] google it [18:43] ok [19:05] anyone know how to give a user permissions to a folder ?

[19:59] peturi: nis is insecure and limited in features. ldap is secure and versatile [20:01] peturi: generally people use nis only when forced to (usually b/c of old/legacy connected systems) [20:01] This is a beowulf cluster, the nodes are not connected to the internet and there is a very limited number of users. [20:02] Is LDAP harder to setup and maintain compared to NIS, what are the benefits?
