[00:52] Mean_Admin: it works for me. [00:52] I have 3 systems using it currently, and have access from my android to it as well. [00:53] haven't tried to set it up without x11, but they have a howto or faq or something for doing that. [01:37] hi there! In my server sometimes (more frequently than what I'd like) I start getting this: [malev@~] free-bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory what can I do to debug it? [01:37] where can I search for the error? === mns` is now known as Guest58915 [02:06] hi all i need server lessons - configuring and setting up virtualization in ubuntu server - struggled to get vms running now i cannot connect to the vms or launch virt-manager due to a gtk error === Guest58915 is now known as mns` [02:12] & [02:27] malev, looks like you're out of memory [02:27] check out what's using it with top or a number of other tools [02:28] qman__, I'm using it, but check this oout: Mem: 524800k total, 375728k used, 149072k free, 0k buffers [02:28] I still have some memory [02:28] or 512MB si too low? [02:29] 512MB is low, but if you still have 149MB or so free, that's not the cause here [02:29] have you set limits? [02:29] also, if what you're trying to start needs more memory than what is available, that error would result [02:29] qman__, no that I remember, how can I check it? [02:30] /etc/security/limits.conf or /etc/security/limits.d/ [02:31] qman__, it's all commented [02:31] check the number of processes as well [02:32] ps aux | wc -l [02:32] should be a few hundred or less [02:32] depending on what you have running [02:33] qman__, oks, I'll run ti, but riight now I'm low of memory and I have to restart :) [02:33] qman__, you think that with 1Gb of memory I wont have that kind of problems? [02:34] not necessarily [02:34] your memory isn't totally full, which indicates something else is wrong [02:34] without limits set, normally the system won't stop you unless it's literally out of resources [02:35] there may be default limits now, though, I don't know for sure [02:36] [malev@~] ps aux | wc -l ->19 [02:36] take note of it when the server starts acting up [02:37] maybe make a script that runs it every few seconds or so and logs it [02:37] that's a good idea [02:38] cannot fork; could not allocate memory means that it literally could not acquire resources to fork [02:38] so if you're hitting physical limits, or set limits on memory or processes, that would do it [02:39] finding the culprit is a little more difficult, but not too much [02:39] don't know waht is the culprit [02:42] qman__, thanks! I really apreciate your help! [02:42] a good way to determine if it's physical or software limits would be to log on with another user [02:42] qman__, what is ps aux | wc -l ? [02:42] as limits are set per user [02:42] ps aux lists all processes, wc -l counts lines [02:43] so it's not an exact number but close enough to figure out what the problem is [02:43] qman__, you think in some moment I start to have a lot of proccess working? [02:44] yes, it's possible you're suffering what is effectively a fork bomb [02:44] and that test would show if that's the case [02:44] oks! I'm gonna work on that! [02:44] if that number gets huge, in the thousands, that's probably the case [02:45] whether it's malicious or just a misconfiguration or bug though, it won't tell you [02:45] that requires more investigation [02:47] in the process of your investigation, it might be a good idea to leave a root terminal open [02:48] since root is allotted a small reserve of resources for these types of occasions [02:50] qman__, oks! i'll === mns` is now known as Guest27359 [04:47] how do i upgrade the kernek on ubuntu-server? [04:47] how do i upgrade the kernel on ubuntu-server? [04:47] ranger03: with apt-get, like everything else. [04:48] apt-get upgrade kernel-imageXXXXX ? [04:49] apt-get upgrade linux-virtual <--is that correct ? [05:26] I have been looking online on how to setup samba with user home directories (already did this), but I want it so when you type in the username of that directory and the password it connects. I tried doing the valid users = %s but when i try to map it the drive it says its mapped to a different username. [06:27] hi all [06:27] zul, ping [06:30] hm [06:31] hi Macer [06:52] hey all, i'm trying to set my samba permissions right (file level) - i can get read access and write access if I set 777 on the directory, but what group is samba trying to access it as? I see smbd processes running as root and nobody but i've tried chgrp -R'ing the whole share directory to those groups and setting 771 but no read or write! [07:58] my server got hacked and the vps provider shut it down because it was abusing dns providers or something. is there a quick setup i can do to secure my box? [07:58] i.e. what steps do i need (disable root ssh, only allow for key based ssh; changing ssh ports etc) [07:58] aku [08:01] flowbee: it depends on how they got in. [08:10] how do i add a user to sudoers file.... so that i have to enter prompt for password [08:13] flowbee: %sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL [08:13] change %sudo to a username [08:13] %sudo means anyone in the sudo group. [08:14] got it [08:21] Or just "sudo adduser fred sudo" [08:21] i.e. add fred to %sudo [08:22] I'm not sure if, unspecified, you are always prompted for a password, or if caching is allowed [08:22] trying to follow this guide http://www.andrewault.net/2010/05/17/securing-an-ubuntu-server/ [08:22] getting to: Restrict access to /bin/su to admin group members:;;; sudo dpkg-statoverride --update --add root admin 4750 /bin/su => dpkg-statoverride: An override for '/bin/s' already exists, aborting. [08:22] flowbee: there's no point locking su, just ensure root doesn't have a password [08:23] flowbee: how did they get in? [08:24] greppy, i have no idea. but i did have ssh for root [08:24] Oh, he was compromised. In that case, he should do a fresh install [08:24] even tho the password was pretty solid [08:24] Consider everything on the system compromised unless proven otherwise [08:24] == twb [08:24] oh i did [08:24] flowbee: password-based access should be disabled [08:24] i wiped it [08:24] and i'm securing now [08:25] going to do key based auth only now [08:25] good luck getting it this time fuckers [08:25] excuse my french; just upset i got hacked [08:25] if you host a vulnerable application they will get back in.. [08:25] and i was referring to hackers; not you guys :) [08:25] I also use kernel-based IPS instead of denyhosts/fail2ban [08:25] flowbee: while a good idea to secure auth, it is very likely that they got in through something else. [08:25] http://cyber.com.au/~twb/doc/iptab [08:25] it amazes mee [08:25] how people can exploit stuff [08:25] greppy: yeah, it was probably because he's running fucking phpmyadmin or so [08:25] no i'm not [08:26] at least i dont think it is [08:26] flowbee: are you running any PHP at all? [08:26] flowbee: I've had boxes compromised because someone had an out of date php calendar app [08:26] wow [08:26] i dont run php; unless their ubuntu stack has it installed [08:26] what do you use the box for? [08:27] LANGUAGE = (unset),LC_ALL = (unset),LANG = "en_CA.utf8" [08:27] flowbee: well, good [08:27] this box will be used to break apart my backend tasks from my webserver [08:28] cuz my backend tasks are bringing down my web app/mysql instance [08:28] What's its IP? I'll throw openvas at it [08:28] no php is running [08:28] twb, one moment let me finish attempting at 'securing it' [08:28] although given my record [08:28] not sure how awesome i'll be at it :) [08:28] * greppy jumps into the van to go break a switch and a router. [08:28] flowbee: pfft, if it has an IP now, it doesn't matter if *I* know it as well [08:29] haha [08:29] greppy: bricked it, eh? [08:29] twb: nah, ROMMON upgrade [08:29] have to be on site. [08:29] Bleh [08:29] This is why my routers run either ubuntu or openwrt [08:30] Well, OK, my procurve is running some Lucky Dragon junk [08:30] ubuntu and/or openwrt don't support the types of interfaces, much less the load [08:30] Fair enough [08:31] hardy heron [08:31] blankOn [08:31] Mint [08:31] Vinux [08:31] Wkeh wis [08:31] getting: perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

It has two raid arrays running over the same 4 disks. The raid5 array apparently resynced and is now working. The raid1 array is working but degraded with only 2 of the 4 disks. all disks seem to have some smart errors on bootup but nothing else. any ideas on what this could be and how to repair the raid1 array? [11:08] mdadm --re-add seems to be working [11:08] I wonder why this happened at all [11:09] I've configured smartmontools now [11:37] Hi! I'm configured pppoe client on my 10.04 server. Everything work fine except when my provider lose my connection. Ppp tries reconnect several times and stop with no luck.

[16:07] Daviey: i had a cold affligem in the fridge :) [16:08] heh [16:10] hallyn_: yeah, we briefly met...and I told him I'd get him hardware [16:10] order is already placed [16:11] genii-around: thanks, i've been reading that, I restarted nfs-common on the client, now the directory is owned by nobody:nogroup, still cant chown to root, still shows no subdirs. Feel i'm getting closer though. [16:14] funny directory, that one. Root doesn't have permission to remove it, and its too busy to be unmounted [16:16] zul: drat, i don't think libvirt folks will take your patch. But they point out we can use the LIBVIRT_LXC_UUID the same way. [16:17] hallyn_: doh! [16:18] NCommander: For your armel server spec... The image you're talking about won't talk to the serial port by default like the current headless images will it? [16:20] ScottK: we were looking at implementing a way to switch that [16:20] Most non-dev server people don't use serial. [16:21] NCommander: I think it's worth mentioning in the spec then. [16:23] ScottK: I disagree, I used to use serial for server management primilary and I know several organizations that do so as well. [16:23] NCommander: OK. Some do. Some don't. [16:24] In any case, the server ISO default install targets small deployments (since any non-trivial deployment will preseed/roll their own), so serial by default isn't the right answer. [16:24] * ScottK still thinks NCommander should put it in the spec. [16:24] ScottK: it will be in the spec [16:25] Great. [16:25] Thanks. [16:25] * NCommander is writing the specs up now [16:25] Yep. I'm getting mail from LP about it. [16:25] ScottK: well I broke the super-spec into a lot of smalelr ones, you can see the dependnency tree [16:26] NCommander: Would you please subscribe to them then so I can follow along? [16:28] ScottK: are you in the ubuntu-armel team? [16:28] * NCommander was going to add the armel team to all the specs [16:28] No. [16:28] NCommander: how did you break down the spec?

[16:47] do you know how I would start dhcp on 11.04? [16:47] because dhcp was moved to upstart for 11.04 IIRC [16:47] roasted: did you try 'service isc-dhcp-server status' ? [16:47] says dhcpd is not running [16:48] roasted: would you expect the OS to never change? ;) [16:48] roasted: you may want to stay on LTS's if thats the case. [16:48] I do for mission critical stuff [16:49] this is my laptop we're talking about [16:49] but I do imaging from my laptop, hence the dhcp [16:49] just kind of irritating when commands are changing so frequently, even for 6 mo releases [16:49] anyway, how would I get the service going? All previous commands I remember are, of course, not working. [16:49] roasted: ok well it may be that it failed to start because your network wasn't up when the system started [16:50] roasted: does your laptop have statically configured networking then I presume? [16:50] I would presume so, as I plugged in after we wereup and running [16:50] yes [16:50] the supported way to start any service is 'sudo service xxxx start' [16:50] bingo [16:50] failed [16:50] lol [16:51] roasted: dhcpd will fail if the exact interface it is configured for is not setup right [16:51] it gets set up through FOG, which Im trying to install [16:51] I never had to configure it prior [16:51] what is FOG ? [16:51] think of ghost [16:51] except it doesn't suck [16:51] and it's free/linux based [16:51] cool [16:52] FOG = Free Open(source) Ghost [16:52] where are dhcp configs stored? I can just copy it from my 10 10 install [16:53] Ok, well then it sounds like FOG must be started before isc-dhcp-server [16:53] roasted: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf [16:53] roasted: I take it FOG is not in Ubuntu? [16:53] It's a .tar.gz I have to install [16:54] installs in terminal from a .sh file or something [16:54] I've installed it hundreds of times. the installer does all of the work for you pending answering a few questions [16:54] dear unity. stop freezing. thx. [16:54] roasted: ah, ok, well if the installer configures the network.. does it just modify /etc/network/interfaces or try to do something else clever? [16:55] I have to set up a static IP first. [16:55] then I run the installer and it asks if the IP I have is the one I want the server configured for. [16:55] I say yes and it does the rest for me. [16:55] setting up a 192.168 scope, which is the pool that my laptop uses when I image [16:56] rebooting. fn unity [16:57] now that I rebooted maybe itll be running [16:57] since Im plugged in [16:57] ah, nope. definitely isn't running. [16:58] hm [16:58] my dhcpd file is fine on 11.04. it matches identically to my 10 10 install [17:06] The last time I restarted my server, SSHD did not come up. I'm not really familiar with upstart, how can I tell if openssh is actually attempting to start at boot? [17:07] I have no idea if it's not being started at all, or if it's being started and not working [17:07] My host was able to start ssh manually from the terminal [17:11] Ok anybody have an idea why apache would be running under limited permission, getting an error through php fopen() failed to create stream permission denied running a script that creates a file. Everywhere i search says to chmod it 777 but i would like to not have it risk that, but it does work I verified it.. running 10.10 Enterprise cloud [17:12] futhermore something very interesting is the file acctually gets created, but can't see it unless i upload something else to the directory.. refreshing or changing dir doesnt show the file..

Note that there are some other things that may need updating as well, like /etc/mailname [18:19] I would if it was the same IP addresses. The guys I have going to it rove around alot. Going in from a starbucks, home, library, etc. [18:20] SpamapS, in /etc/hostname, I only see my hostname. Is there something I can enter there to change the fqdn? [18:26] surjikal: if you edit that file, you can run 'sudo hostname `cat /etc/hostname`' to set the system wide hostname. Note that services may not pick up the new hostname until they are restarted. [18:27] I changed /etc/hosts [18:27] kpettit: you want a VPN solution of some kind then. [18:27] probaly. [18:27] kpettit: the closest thing to a decent block list is denyhosts .. and its barely more than no protection at all. [18:27] VPN's always seem kind of painful to setup. KNow of a good one that is faily easy to use? [18:28] kpettit: I've always used OpenVPN but I don't know how good or easy the frontends are. [18:28] SpamapS, I think your right about VPN though. I've just been avoiding it becuase of pain with them in the past. [18:29] I don't care so much about hte front end. I'm ok with the CLI stuff. Last time I tried OpenVPN though it was fairly painful to do a simple VPN for a few people [18:29] kpettit: if you have control over the remote machines its pretty easy to put a shell script or batch file together that starts and stops openvpn automatically w/ client certs for auth.. [18:33] SpamapS, your right. I'll give it try. Thanks for the suggestion. === smb is now known as smb-afk [19:45] !away > smb-afk [19:45] smb-afk, please see my private message [19:49] Daviey: when you get a chance can you have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports [19:49] doh...

I just started virt-manager to add some drives to a test-vm, but then, I get this http://karlsbakk.net/virt-manager-issue1.png - can't see the old images, and can't create new ones - any ideas? === negronjl is now known as negronjl_afk [21:07] hm... seems I found the issue - it was trying to open som old storage files which had been removed [21:07] where does virt-manager have its config? I need to remove these from the 'known storage files' [21:16] zul: if i give you a natty .deb for lxcguest, can you trivially test that it still does the right thing under libvirt?

[21:53] addisonj: Maybe it's mounted noexec? [21:53] no exec mounting? [21:53] its not a seperate partition [21:54] its just on . [21:54] oops / [21:55] addisonj: Maybe it's not executable. [21:55] addisonj: You're not exactly giving a lot of detail here. [21:56] hi folks... is there a fast way to move from debian etch => ubuntu 10.04 ? i have a debian box on linode but id love to move to ubuntu [21:57] trying to install SAS, it unpacks its own java version to run an installer, which it unpacks to /tmp, i haven't been able to get it run, thought it was a path issue, but if i go straight ti the folder where the java binary is, it still says no such file or directory [21:57] -rwxr-xr-x 1 csroffice csroffice 65116 2007-10-05 03:19 java [21:58] http://pastebin.com/ec7VpzT3 there is the mount [22:00] addisonj: What exactly are the commands you're trying to run that fail? [22:02] hello) [22:03] the installer script unpacks its own java and a jar to run the gui installer, here is the actual command ../../products/javaruntime__92280__lax__xx__sp0__1/bin/java -Xmx1024M -jar deploywiz/setup.jar -startuplocation /media/samba/SAS_9_2_3/Compresed/Linux_64bit/SAS_9.23_Linux_x64 -templocation /tmp/_setup29781 [22:04] guys, Where I can get usb ubuntu? [22:04] its a relative path from the location of the jar to the unpacked location of the java binary, but it fails to find the binary (although that is a valid path) [22:06] hi folks... is there a fast way to move from debian etch => ubuntu 10.04 ? i have a debian box on linode but id love to move to ubuntu. but i'll still need to reconstruct my whole setup right? there are no migrations scripts? [22:06] saveur7elf: what exactly do you need, there are several forms [22:07] mm... ubuntu 11.04 for usbflash) [22:07] I at first thought bash was bugging out on the relative path, but nope, even if i got straight to the directory, it won't run the binary, gives a no such file or path error, which noexec doesn't do correct? [22:07] flowbee: you need a clean install for that [22:07] maxb, i guess i meant getting the configuration and packages off of debian and onto ubuntu [22:08] saveur7elf: live system? installer? [22:08] installer [22:08] flowbee, what configs? are you talking like apache? or your gnome and everything? [22:09] addisonj, i mean like the mysql config/apache config/etc [22:09] and bash stuff [22:09] flowbee: no special tooling, just normal file copy/backup tools [22:09] do a fresh install and just move em over, probably the easiest way [22:10] yeah [22:10] hi all. I have qemu/kvm setup on this ubuntu 10.04 machine. after adding some test disks, I want to remove them, but it seems virt-manager can't do this and removing them manually just messes up virt-manager. any idea where these are referenced and how I can remove that? [22:10] how long will 10.04 lts be supported for [22:10] 3 more years? something like that [22:10] saveur7elf: you probably want the boot.img.gz disk image from any mirror [22:11] flowbee: LTS is five years for server, 3 for desktop [22:11] hey guys, I am looking for a way to add the backports repository to a 9.04 (jaunty) server [22:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports [22:11] so about 4 more years of support now [22:11] addisonj: yeah [22:12] * RoyK still runs 8.04 on some servers [22:12] anyways... back to me issue... yep, pretty much absolutely flumoxed as to why this is acting this way... [22:14] so done with debian [22:14] everything will be running 10.04 now [22:14] :) === negronjl_afk is now known as negronjl [22:29] blah [22:29] how do i change default editor to vim? [22:30] bluethundr: Jaunty is dead. Move on. [22:31] flowbee: see /etc/alternatives - there's an editor symlink there [22:31] flowbee: or just set the EDITOR variable [22:38] soren this is a production server.. it moves onto the current release when the senior sa says it does :) [22:42] New bug: #783699 in php5 (main) "package libapache2-mod-php5 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/783699 [22:43] http://imgur.com/gallery/0pxaV [22:43] bluethundr: has that senior sa decided to backport all relevant security patches to jaunty? Poor sod. [22:44] heh [22:44] or vetting every security announcement to see if it impacts them, or getting appropriate signoffs to not patch it [22:44] I'm glad I make those kind of decisions [22:49] bluethundr: Production servers that don't receive critical security updates. Fascinating. What was your IP again? [22:50] soren, my IP is xx.xx.xx.xxx [22:51] bluethundr: I thought it might be. [22:51] lol [22:51] New bug: #783706 in php5 (main) "package libapache2-mod-php5 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/783706 [23:40] So... question... let's say I want to rsync my home directory to a samba share. Well, CIFS mounts to .gvfs... wouldn't I create an infinite loop by rsyncing /home/user to /home/user/.gvfs/network_storage/user? [23:42] just use --exclude [23:42] or -x aka --one-file-system [23:43] RoyK, do you know of any rsync GUI's that have this option? I'm trying to help my parents set this up with the NAS I left behind. [23:44] nah - I only use the commandline [23:44] yeah, me too [23:44] maybe I should just walk them through forwarding SSH so I can get in there [23:45] what exatly doe s"one file system" do? [23:45] doesnt sound too descriptive at first glance [23:46] it doesn't follow mounts [23:46] so if you rsync / and /blah is mounted, that won't be rsync'ed [23:47] it seems as if grsync has a "do not leave file system" option [23:47] which, when you hover over it, notates -x and --one-file-system [23:48] so if I'm rsync'ing /home/fred to /home/fred/.gvfs/network_storage/fred, how does that "doesn't follow mounts" apply? I'm not entirely sure I understand. [23:48] check with 'mount' [23:48] if it's listed there, it won't be backed up with -x [23:49] so that would thereby include .gvfs as "mount" when its checked [23:49] is it listed if you type 'mount'? [23:49] uh [23:49] hang on [23:50] it doesnt say exactly .gvfs/network_storage/fred [23:50] but it says something about .gvfs fuse [23:50] daemon etc [23:51] dunno if rsync will exclude fuse mounts [23:51] damnit [23:51] I wonder if there's a way to tell [23:51] like to see what command this gui is using [23:51] just try [23:52] you'll see the loop if it happens [23:56] thats the problem [23:56] I won't - they will, and they won't even know it [23:56] :P [23:58] I just did a quick test bed here with my laptop and a tes CIFS share [23:58] looks like it'll work if I check that box in grsync [23:59] I think they just have SO mcuh data that they cant tell if its looping or just working
