[00:42] hi [00:49] how do you access your network interface on ubuntu server and edit it so i can have my wireless adapter become the main internet source for my server? [00:52] if anyone is free and able to help a newbie of ubuntu server, i would appreciate it =D [01:26] New bug: #789715 in postfix (main) "package postfix (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/789715 [01:42] can anyone help me please [01:51] anyone here? [02:16] Snugger: http://pastebin.com/XejD1QAF has info that is very brief about the two files to edit for doing that. But I can't help with details, this is info from someone else I have not yet actually used it myself :) [02:16] Snugger: And this assumes your wireless NIC is already supported and visible as wlan0 , of course. [03:06] Hi Guys, I'm looking to implement a couple of chat room for my website, I was wondering if someone have experience with that and can suggest software to do so ? [05:28] Where would i look for a reason why mysql isn't starting when the server starts but it starts just fine if i start it via service mysql start [05:28] looked in /var/log/ but didn't see anything [05:29] start up scripts in there and all the right run levels [05:30] i'd guess /var/log/syslog or /var/log/dmesg [05:31] maybe /var/log/mysql.* [05:31] tried those [05:32] and it's listed in /etc/rc2.d ? [05:32] (with an S number) [05:32] yeah [05:33] maybe change it to a higher or lower number? [05:33] runlevel tells you your current runlevel [05:34] should be 2 by default [05:34] which corresponds with /etc/rc2.d [05:34] yeah. i was refering to moving mysql to like 15 or 50 [05:34] ohh [05:34] what's it at now? [05:34] 20 [05:35] i guess you could try S90 to see if that helps [05:37] brb. irc client runs on the server(its a vps) [05:37] rgr [05:38] nope [05:39] hrmm [05:40] yall familar with setting up wireless usb adapters for internet? [05:41] might be network interface isn't created yet? [05:41] would that cause it? [05:41] * setup yet [05:42] yes i'm not sure how to correctly configure it [05:42] Masshuu, maybe, although that should show up in the logs [05:42] i was given this link http://pastebin.com/XejD1QAF how do i intergrate that in to etc/network/interfaces? [05:43] sorry i'm a newbie with ubuntu [05:44] Snugger, have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo [05:46] Snugger, this seems like a more straight-forward answer: http://joost.damad.be/2007/01/debian-wifi-wpa-supplicant-and.html [05:48] should i use nano or vi? and do i just simply type it in exactly as i see it? [05:48] nano/vi doesn't really matter; whatever you feel more comfortable with [05:49] you'd have to put in your configuration following that format [05:49] found a fix [05:49] added service mysql start [05:49] to the end of rc.local [05:51] Snugger, you may not need all of those lines though; this post doesn't have all of them: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-linux-wpa-wpa2-wireless-wifi-networking/ [05:52] Masshuu: This is on a VPS? [05:54] yeah. openvz vps [05:58] chmod commands are cross OS compatible right .. 700 for linux would be 700 for ubuntu? [05:59] ubuntu is linux [06:00] ubuntu is turning into the next mac [06:03] Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic) [06:03] attempting to SSH [06:04] .ssh is chmodded to 700 .. and authorized_keys is 600 [06:05] Masshuu: Standard Ubuntu Server doesn't have this problem. If you install mysql server it runs. I suspect your provider of having improved it for you. [06:06] how do you contact a specific person when typing in irc again? [06:06] Snugger, /msg [06:06] or type the first part of a name and hit tab [06:06] thanks [06:07] delinquentme_: What's the log say on the server end? [06:07] rewt: my network adapter does not show up when i tpye in lscpi [06:07] Snugger: lscpi or lspci? [06:08] ScottK, im not sure i have access to that yet .. its an EC2 instance .. but i can get the verbose readout from my end [06:08] lspci [06:08] delinquentme_: Then look and see if it gives you any more clues. [06:09] Snugger: This is a wifi adapter? [06:09] If so, what kind? [06:09] Netgear WG111 v3 [06:09] unspecified GSS failure? [06:10] hmm, i'm not sure if usb ones show up in lspci [06:10] should i continue to step 3 [06:10] http://pastie.org/1987577 the part where it starts breaking :D [06:11] rewt_: do i erase my previous eth0 config in the interfaces file? [06:11] Snugger, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=732827 [06:12] debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic << this should mean that i can use either a public key or a gssapi-with-mic [06:12] to ssh in .. right? [06:14] rewt: thank you i will try this [06:33] rewt: problem, i believe the link you sent me only works for ubuntu desktop edition, while i have server edition, because i cannot use the gksudo gedit command [06:41] Snugger: Instead of gksudo gedit use sudo nano [06:52] New bug: #789764 in samba (main) "package samba-common 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: error writing to '': 沒有此一檔案或目錄" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/789764 [06:57] im sshed into a linux box .. and id like to find out if theres in installed program called "crossbow" [06:57] how might i do this [07:07] has anyone here been able to get FreeDB working? [07:11] scottK or rewt, i've been able to successfully set up wireless connection with dhcp, but i would like to have static so i can host game servers, how do i static my wlan setting [07:12] If you look for at the ubuntu server guide on static networking setup (see /topic) you ought to be able to extrapolate from the ethernet examples they have there to your setup. [07:12] the "any key" is the black toggle switch becide the power cord on your PSU [07:13] delinquentme_: which crossbow would tell you if there's an executable of that name installed. [07:14] "which crossbow" [07:14] jeeves_moss: Please leave the sophomoric tricks elsewhere. It's far too old to be funny and we prefer to actually try and help people here. [07:14] Yes [07:14] thats awesomely simple .. thanks [07:15] Try 'which python' for an example that will show something. [07:15] nice! [07:15] yeah im on a AWS instance and apprently theres a few things that arent there [07:15] dpkg is one of them [07:16] tanks ScottK .. that commands gonna come in handy [07:16] You're welcome. [07:49] i've tried everything and my wireless connection will not function correctly,i set my inet to static so ic an host and now the internet won't connect. I am certain the ssid and psk are correct [07:58] whenever i type if up wlan0 i get a wpa_supplicant: /sbin/wpa_supplicant daaemon failed to start [07:58] run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1 [08:23] anyone one think they can lend a hand? [09:13] hola, am looking for anybodys' assistance to create a loopback maneuver [09:14] Snugger: what did you need assistance with? [09:22] hi all [09:22] who can help me in my choice [09:22] ? [09:22] bitween ubuntu server and debian [09:33] ubuntu [09:34] is a very good os & has more options [09:34] there are various metapackages you could configure to work with ubuntu, etc. [09:35] it appears ubuntu is more actively developed [09:47] Refael: what about stability? many people talk about ubuntu as a bug distr, and what debian is more stable [09:49] annone: if you talk to debian persons, they shall tell you bad things about ubuntu. The personal operating system is ubuntu & it has worked great from install to the present day & has a good support team & is highly developed & regularly upgraded [09:51] can u say who used ubuntu server? goverment, commercical companies? [09:52] Refael: [09:52] annone: si? [09:52] dont understand [09:52] ah, many persons & corporations use ubuntu [09:53] for example [09:53] could do a little research if you wished [09:53] what is it you are wishing to use the system for? [09:53] in goverment [09:54] as secure and stable [09:54] what type utility? [09:55] datastore, ftp, cluster, apache, mysql, statistics [09:55] annone: dell & sunsoft use & support Ubuntu [09:55] maybe think client [09:55] we have dell servers [09:56] it could handle as a server & on client side simultane even [09:56] dell website, type ubuntu in search [09:56] often "Ubuntu Remix" [09:57] Refael: what is sunsoft? sorry for my english, his bad... i'm from Ukraine [09:58] typically is "Ubuntu Remix" & is a type derivative [09:58] typical larger companies perhaps, though Ubuntu Server uses "Wine" to handle Windoze compatability [09:59] what is sunsoft? what do u mean? [09:59] Dell is actively supporting "Ubuntu" Operating systems for optional OS [10:00] sunsoft is corporation, wait [10:00] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunsoft [10:01] ? [10:01] perhaps am getting name wrong [10:01] maybe u mean SUN? [10:01] (oracle, java) [10:01] was a time since used windoze and am now using Linux alone [10:01] yes [10:01] is similar [10:02] ok [10:02] IBM uses Linux on eServer [10:02] Refael: 10x about that [10:03] and i'm have more quations ) [10:03] ok [10:03] Does provide Ubuntu some free trainigs? [10:04] there are many manuals [10:04] Webinars? [10:04] free online learning resources [10:04] si, similar [10:04] & there are many forums [10:04] Certificate? [10:04] instant email notification [10:04] si, if you wish for Certificate, though is not necessary for anything [10:05] i want be certificated pro administator, it's really? [10:07] How to get to work in Canonical? [10:08] Refael: [10:09] annone: there is no financial gain with doing such. If you wish to work with Linux, you would need to get a job with a company local to you & be that companies network administrator or a thing similar [10:10] You would really necessarily spend years learning Linux Systems & perhaps work your way in creating software applications to begin with [10:11] ok, thank u very much [10:13] annone: Ubuntu is a good election though [10:14] Refael: and finally, what ubuntu is better than debian? [10:15] get Ubuntu 11.04 & test it for a few months [10:15] you can send personal email if you need assistance [10:15] *smiles* [10:16] ) [10:16] thanks [10:16] u r very helpful [11:02] New bug: #789816 in samba (main) "package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/789816 [11:48] wtf is wrong with 11.04?

[13:57] am having difficulties with discovering any documentation in creating a loopback. Have personally looked all in the ubuntu & LQ forums & have discovered little. Can anybody assist por favor?

[14:26] [14:28] roy can you help me configure my usb adapter for wireless? [14:33] RoyK: can you help me configure my usb wireless adapter [14:35] using a usb wireless on a server? [14:37] yes [14:38] i've been suggested multiple links and none have prevailed, i've edited my /etc/network/interfaces to wlan 0 [14:38] i know the system recognizes the adapter because i typed in ifconfig or iwconfig, and i saw the adapter show up [14:39] but i can't seem to get it working with static let alone dhcp [15:05] RoyK: you are confused too [15:24] RoyK: You must be busy [16:25] How are you guys doing?! === ng_ is now known as NG_ [16:36] Bit off topic, butt.. off the top of anyone's head.. does anyone know that site, where people people put their things that they script, it's some sort of project site. [16:45] pastebin? [16:48] i get a /sbin/wpa_supplicant daemon start error when i restart my network, i have no idea why [16:51] I believe it is... thanks qman__ [16:54] Snugger, do you have a wireless card? [16:57] w [16:57] oops [16:58] no i am not, i am using a wireless usb adapter [16:58] with a server? [17:01] yes and i know it's possible, i checked to see if my usb adapter was compatiable [17:01] never setup something like that myself - sorry [17:02] yes it is uncommon i have so many guides up but none have succeeded [17:03] can anyone help me? [17:06] Snugger: does it show up in ifconfig -a? [17:08] RoyK: It shows under wlan0 that my Link encap:Ethernet, there should it say my usb wireless adapter there? [17:09] that looks right [17:10] Snugger, did you get it working with dhcp? [17:10] Snugger: what does iwconfig say? [17:11] my iwconfig says IEEE 802.11bg ESSID: "MY NETWORK NAME" Mode: Managed etc.. want me to list more [17:11] as for dhcp, i will try it [17:12] whats funny is when i do iwlist wla0 scan it scans fine and i see my network up there [17:13] so i believe the device is fuctioning correctly [17:18] and i get the same error when in dhcp [17:20] rewt: dhcp yields the same error [17:20] RoyK: my iwconfig says IEEE 802.11bg ESSID: "MY NETWORK NAME" Mode: Managed etc.. want me to list more [17:25] Snugger: has it gotten an IP address? [17:37] hm... if I enable homedir encryption - how do I turn that on with new users? useradd -m xxx doesn't seem to allow that [17:37] RoyK: I did something and now it is not scanning.. [17:39] Snugger: I've only setup wlan on a server once, and that's out of reach as of now [17:41] RoyK: I get an ip address but it is the static i set in network/interfaces [17:52] I'm bout ready to just give up because everything i try does not work [18:38] anyone using eccryptfs? I've tried creating a new user with --encrypt-home per the wiki, however, when that user logs in (via CLI) they cannot write to their ~/ ?. encryptfs-mount-private returns an error: encrypted private directory is not setup properly [18:51] people here don't help very often, i apoligize === gpc is now known as IdleOne === unreal_ is now known as unreal [19:30] I can't cd into a folder due to permissions [19:30] sudo cd /path/folder doesn't work [19:33] dbgster, sudo -i [19:34] do what you need to do inside the root shell, then exit [19:34] just be careful [20:06] how can i see if the package apache2 is sintalled? [20:07] confused between apt and dpkg [20:13] dpkg -l | grep apache2 [20:14] or just dpkg -l "apache2", either way works [20:14] thanks! [20:21] Question, Installed 11.04 32bit and finished fine on Dell 1650 server, but on reboot i get Cannot display this video mode, I need to edit Grub to fix, but how ? [20:23] Question, Installed 11.04 32bit and finished fine on Dell 1650 server, but on reboot i get Cannot display this video mode, I need to edit Grub to fix, but how ? [20:27] Question, Installed 11.04 32bit and finished fine on Dell 1650 server, but on reboot i get Cannot display this video mode, I need to edit Grub to fix, but how ? [20:30] Lobo29, once is enough [20:33] rewt, how to new people logging in see the question if its not reposted ? [20:34] you could wait an hour between asking so you don't re-ask the same question every time 1 person joins [20:34] what if that one person has my answer and leaves in 15 mins if nothing else is posted ? [20:35] Lobo29, live disc, mount disk of installed system and edit grub conf? [20:35] then you try the next day [20:35] (or patiently until someone else sees the question in the channel -- we're not all intently watching our screens for the next question to come up ;-) ) [20:36] +wait, somewhere in that sentence.. [20:37] robrt, ty, i tried a live disk, but the raid drives are locked out that way, i can't access the files [20:38] you have /boot on a raid? [20:38] exactly, /boot should be accessible [20:38] if all else fails, you should be able to re-create the grub config from scratch if you know the settings [20:41] ok, i'm noob on server install, my first try here - after drives load and bios ready, ubuntu would start, but, thats when i get Cannot display video mode message [20:41] drives are config as one partition [20:42] i followed an example on webpage to make a clonezilla server [20:48] try booting with a gparted livecd and see what partitions that sees [20:48] maybe you tried mounting the wrong one with the ubuntu livecd [20:49] although it should probably be on /dev/sda1 [20:53] live cd booted and saw server drive with name I gave it "Clonezilla" , I could move thru the live cd files, but clicking on the Clonezilla drive, say it wasn't accessable [21:04] Anyone have suggestions on partitions for a Clonezilla server ? [21:26] which folder is syslog in? [21:26] is there a nice FAQ for all these common folders that I should know about? [21:29] dbgster: /var/log, and yes, there is but I cannot remember [21:30] dbgster: see http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ [21:40] loua1: best ask your complete question - if anyone knows an answer they will say so [21:44] ty guntbert, im new to this [21:45] loua1: :) [21:46] i have a thin client TK-3550 that i want to connect to ubunto server [21:47] loua1: please keep your questions in one line (if possible) [21:49] how to connect TK-3550 to LTSP [21:50] the simplest way to run LTSP is via netboot [21:50] so you just need to enable netboot on the device if it supports it [21:52] qman - doesnt seem to be able for that [21:53] other options would then be installing a simple floppy or CD to boot, then look on the network [21:53] i got no cd or floppy drive on client [21:53] you can boot a USB flash drive as a floppy/CD [21:54] but something with no drives at all probably has netboot [21:55] well i cant choose boo order but your probably right [21:58] qman the client is running on windows ce, can i do any thing with that [22:02] guntbert it says software is installed in /etc/opt/ [22:02] but I installed apache2, and it is in /etc/apache2/ [22:03] in /etc/apache2/ are the config files [22:03] loua1, windows CE cannot connect to LTSP, you have to boot to the LTSP server in some way [22:03] whether that's netboot or a boot disk of some kind [22:04] where stuff gets installed depends on the distro [22:04] it's also possible to install a boot disk to the local hard drive, but it's the same idea [22:04] dbgster, software is usually installed in /usr [22:04] but configuration goes in /etc [22:05] ah ok [22:05] but /etc/opt is empty, no apache2 there. [22:05] /opt can also house software, but it's usually reserved for software that is not maintained for your distro [22:05] such as third party commercial applications [22:05] qman__: i see [22:06] /etc/opt would be configuration for those programs in /opt [22:09] qman - ty seems i need to find a way to install ubuntu from USB stick [22:09] when a service daemon has started, I should look in: ps aux for the service. [22:10] or /var/lib/service/run [22:10] as it creates a pid file right? [22:10] dbgster, ps aux will show all processes, 'sudo service [servicename] status' will usually show if it's running [22:10] is that the only way? [22:12] eit [22:12] exit [22:21] i'm trying to run puppet using: /etc/init.d/puppetmaster start [22:21] and I get: Could not run: Could not create PID file: /var/lib/puppet/run/master.pid [22:21] but I did: /etc/init.d/puppetmaster stop before. [22:22] shouldn't the PID lock file be removed? [22:23] are you running it as root? [22:23] yes [22:23] i'm running those commands as root [22:23] but I believe internally it runs as puppet:puppet [22:24] yeah, I just meant the commands [22:24] I'd stop it as root, then check if that file exists and remove it if it does [22:24] the PID 569 shows user puppet [22:24] command: /usr/bin/ruby1. [22:24] and if any processes are still running, kill them [22:25] but why doesn't /etc/init.d/puppetmaster work? [22:25] well, for one [22:25] that method is going away, as ubuntu moves to upstart [22:25] you should use service instead [22:25] because it's compatible with both [22:26] but, it's possible another puppet process started outside of the service management [22:26] in which case you should kill it and remove the pid file if it still exists [22:26] then start it with the service management [22:26] ok [22:26] kill -i PID ? [22:26] not sure what -i is [22:27] kill [pid] will work [22:27] i did both: service puppet stop and service puppetmaster stop but ps aux still shows it. [22:27] k [22:40] to add a service to run on startup, I use: update-rc.d right? [22:40] like: update-rc.d service-name default [22:40] what if it was already setup like that, will that cause any issues? [22:41] how can I tell what is and isn't already setup to start on boot [23:07] dbgster, have a look at http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto [23:10] This is a good article on upstart as well: http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/125977 [23:11] robrt`: thanks [23:13] dbgster, did you fix your earlier issue? If not, did you check the permissions on /var/lib/puppet? [23:13] I just had to kill the PID [23:13] Alright [23:13] i'm still confused as to how ti started int he first place [23:14] after reboots, I get it again. [23:14] so i'm missing something :) [23:14] Error message is not 100% clear; error creating, but it didn't specify why [23:14] Yeah.. [23:15] See if you can reproduce it and strace the stop command .. see if it even attempts to remove the lockfile or not [23:16] That'll at least show any errors it may encounter [23:56] hello [23:56] in grsec is possible to make privaleges to use one ip per only one user? [23:56] does any one know how to block skype using iptables and without 7 layer? [23:57] eq: user max can use ip on eth0:0, user tom can use ip on eth0:1 [23:57] ?
