Ash-FoxGreetings. I'm currently trying to store my syslog data 'auth,authpriv.*' directly on to a tape drive raw. And while I have succeeded in doing so, I have ran into a problem where I need to be able to run a set of commands to properly load the tape before rsyslog starts (or before it starts logging data to it). Which config files / manuals should I go about reading up on to set this up?03:13

SanctusoriumI am running into some real trouble with trying to install a GUI into Ubuntu Server 10.04.  I've done apt-get ubuntu-desktop, I've installed VNC, and I am connected to the "desktop" via VNC, but I have just a grey background and a terminal window03:25
SanctusoriumAny ideas? :(03:25
roothorickSo, for my home swiss-army-knife server why should I choose Ubuntu Server over Debian?03:26
jonesst1pick the one u ike03:29
jonesst1like03:29
jonesst1they all do the same thing03:30
jonesst1i use debain for home but ive been using it for 12 years03:30
jonesst1debian03:30
twbroothorick: no reason03:30
jonesst1pick the lts version03:30
rewtSanctusorium, sounds like it's starting just X and xterm; maybe you want to install gnome or kde or xfce or such?03:31
SanctusoriumWell, I just tried "startx" and I got this:03:32
Sanctusoriumxf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)03:32
SanctusoriumAnd it goes "whoops, fail" ... essentially03:32
SanctusoriumAlso, when trying to start gnome, I get similar error03:32
SanctusoriumSo I try to isntall gnome03:32
SanctusoriumAnd I get errors.  Should I detail them? :)03:33
SanctusoriumOr, where should I start? ;)03:33
rewtdo you want to run X locally, or go through vnc?03:34
SanctusoriumHonestly, I just want to get a GUI set up for this VPS.  I assumed I had to use VNC to see it.03:34
SanctusoriumLocally, I am on a windows machine.  The Ubuntu distro is the VPS.03:35
rewtah, vps... then i think you have to use vnc03:35
SanctusoriumYep.03:35
SanctusoriumI get connected, but when I do, I get a console window and a grey background.03:36
rewtso it looks like vncserver starts X and xterm... have a look in the vncserver's config file03:36
rewtyou probably need to add something in there for it to load the gnome/kde desktop03:37
SanctusoriumWell, it may be trying to start stuff up when I connect, but I can't even start stuff myself in that window or through SSH.03:37
SanctusoriumWhen I try to start gnome... I get...03:37
Sanctusoriumgdm-binary[24130]: WARNING: Unable to load file '/etc/gdm/custom.conf': No such file or directory03:38
SanctusoriumI feel like this VPS is sending me trollface.jpg, haha.03:38
SanctusoriumWhen I try to do apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment I get... "Gnome is up to date!" basically.03:39
SanctusoriumSorry if I am over loading :(03:43
rewtwhat if you create an empty /etc/gdm/custom.conf, and then try gdm in the xterm you get via vnc03:45
jonesst1in startup try "gnome-session &"03:45
rewti'm not sure what the cmd is to start the gnome desktop03:45
jonesst1you need to hash out #twm and the xterm statement03:46
jonesst1for vnc03:46
Sanctusoriumrewt, I have been using gdm start for trying to start Gnome03:48
Sanctusoriumjonesst1: what is #twm and xterm statement?03:48
Sanctusorium:(03:48
jonesst1sorry u wanted gnome in a vnc session?03:49
jonesst1thats what i set03:49
SanctusoriumWhao!03:49
Sanctusoriumgnome-session & worked03:49
Sanctusoriumwtf why?03:49
Sanctusoriumo.o;03:49
rewtgnome-session starts the desktop part of gnome, and the & tells it to detach from the terminal and keep running in the background03:51
SanctusoriumNice!  So simple that hours of googling provided nothing03:53
SanctusoriumSo.  How do I fix it to where this automatically happens whenever there is a VNC connection?03:54
Sanctusorium(thank you both by the way... This is so much more awesome now that things are moving... :D )03:55
rewtthere should be a file in your ~ that loads when you connect via vnc03:55
Sanctusoriummmm.  Issue...  When I do dir/ls in ~, it doesn't print anything.03:55
rewthow about ll ~03:56
rewt(double lowercase L)03:56
SanctusoriumLet me see when the reboot is finished :)03:56
jonesst1I think you can put it under /etc/03:56
rewtwhat file is it?03:56
jonesst1im just looking03:57
Sanctusoriumll gave me some kind of feed back.  I assume the names on the far right are the folder/file names?03:58
rewtmaybe someting like ~/.vncrc03:58
rewtyes Sanctusorium03:58
SanctusoriumAh03:58
Sanctusorium.vnc/03:58
rewtthe ones that start with a period are hidden from regular ls03:59
rewtgo in there and look for a conf03:59
SanctusoriumSo, everything in that list was hidden03:59
SanctusoriumThats wonderful xD03:59
Sanctusoriumwould xstartup be a good place to start? :D04:00
rewtsounds promising04:00
rewtor try: grep "xterm" *04:00
SanctusoriumIn the console or in the xstartupfile?04:01
rewtin the console in ~/.vnc/04:01
SanctusoriumOkie04:01
rewtit'll show you which files have that in it04:01
rewtthe one you have to change should have it04:01
Sanctusoriumgrep "xterm" * gave nothing04:02
rewtgrep "term" *04:02
SanctusoriumI just have a log, a .pid, passwd, and xstartup that is in green text and has a * at the end for some reason04:03
rewthm, looks like .vnc/xstartup is the right file04:03
rewthttp://faq.gotomyvnc.com/fom-serve/cache/56.html04:04
SanctusoriumWhat is twm?04:04
SanctusoriumI mean, seems to be an alternative to Gnome...04:04
rewtthat's the "grey background" you have now04:04
SanctusoriumMy guess at least04:04
SanctusoriumAH04:04
rewttiny window manager04:04
SanctusoriumThis... makes more sense now04:05
rewtiirc, a right click brings up a menu04:05
SanctusoriumYep04:05
SanctusoriumWell04:05
SanctusoriumOnly in the console04:05
SanctusoriumBackground? nada04:05
SanctusoriumIt was kinda saddening04:05
rewtmaybe it needs a config04:05
rewthehe04:05
rewtwell, try replacing it as in that link and see04:05
SanctusoriumProbably... I'm a REAL newb to server stuff ;)04:05
SanctusoriumOr linux bash04:06
SanctusoriumI don't see twm & at all04:07
roothorickwhat will the next LTS be? 11.10?04:07
roothorick12.04?04:07
rewtshould be 12.0404:07
rewthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Table_of_versions04:08
rewtSanctusorium, what do you see?04:08
SanctusoriumOkie, the last line in the file is x-window-manager &  I am assuming that needs to be there04:08
SanctusoriumSo, I just added gnome-session & to the end.04:09
rewtsure04:10
SanctusoriumAnd I forgot how to start vnc up :P Great.04:11
SanctusoriumOne second04:11
Sanctusoriumyay google04:12
SanctusoriumAWESOME04:12
Sanctusorium:D04:12
SanctusoriumGnome started right up04:12
rewtnice04:13
SanctusoriumI still don't understand why there were a million different errors in the console with other things, but I guess if it works, it works.04:13
SanctusoriumThanks, ya'll have been a god send.04:14
Sanctusorium:)04:14
rewtnp04:14
SanctusoriumNow to install wine.  Gonna see if I can get a terraria server up...04:15
Sanctusorium:)04:15
SanctusoriumOh!  will gnome shut itself down when I disconnect?04:17
rewtprobably not04:18
SanctusoriumI guess it would be wise to shut it down on DC then :)04:22

SanctusoriumSo, I want to turn off gnome for ram saving.04:50
twbSanctusorium: I'm not stopping you04:50
Sanctusoriumwhen I do gnome-session-save --kill I get:04:50
SanctusoriumWARNING **: Failed to call logout: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files04:50
twbThat's dbus whinging04:50
SanctusoriumHm?04:51
twbyour command is trying to send a dbus signal, probably to gnome-session-manager(1)04:51
SanctusoriumAh.  So, how do I fix this? :)04:51
SanctusoriumI just want gnome to go bye bye when I am done with it .04:52
twbThat's kinda offtopic for this channel04:53
twbIf it were me, I'd just Ctrl+Alt+Backspace04:53
twbOr pkill -9 -u twb, to kill all processes owned by my user04:53
Ash-FoxI need to execute a command before rsyslog starts / starts logging, how would I do this?05:40
twbAsh-Fox: pre-start exec in the upstart job?06:20
Ash-Foxtwb, I'll look into that06:20
airtonixan ideal django apacher server setup has us create a separate subdomain for static and user uploaded files : static.example.com & media.example.com, my issue is that i have generated a self signed ssl certificate for the website ie: example.com, but this certificate does not apply to the subdomains, i imagine i have to do something with chain certificates ? if so, how ? where is a guide with this in relation to aache on ubuntu-server 10.04.206:31
littlebearzthe host *.example.com should take care of it i believe06:33
airtonixcould you elaborate ?06:33
airtonixare you saying that i enter *.example.com instead of example.com when i generate the certificate? (when asked for the hostname)06:34
jmarsdenairtonix: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/NameBasedSSLVHosts06:35
littlebearzairtonix: i'm saying you do both06:39
littlebearzairtonix: the example.com is your base, and then *.example.com is all your subdomin06:39
littlebearzairtonix: or you could seperate it into 2 cert which is easier to manage06:40
airtonixso i just generate more certificates and add them the to the vhost definition file ?06:51
airtonixjmarsden: thanks06:54
jmarsdenairtonix: You're welcome.06:55
airtonixok so now that i've figured that out, and while it's an ok setup for a local dev server or college network etc etc, what do i do about a certificate that has been issued by someone like godaddy ? do i need to call them and say "guys, i need my subdomains covered by this certificate ? "07:19
airtonixconsidering i need the certificate to cover variations of example.com like : www.example.com, www.example.com.au, example.com.au and all it's related subdomains for static and media07:20
SpamapSairtonix: wildcard certs are usually fairly expensive07:30
philipballewis 10.04 better for a file server or would 11.04 be buggy compared to 10.04?07:31
SpamapSairtonix: or at least, more expensive than non wildcard07:31
twbphilipballew: IMO use LTS unless you have a good reason not to07:31
SpamapSphilipballew: "better or worse" is probably impossible to determine without knowing your needs. 10.04 will receive critical updates until April, 2015 , 11.04 will only receive them until October, 201207:32
philipballewim setting up a simple media server. all i need is the ability to ssh into it and share my media folder. i think 10.04 sounds good to me07:32
SpamapSphilipballew: yeah sounds like it07:32
philipballewSpamp5 I think it should be fun. only used the desktop version and whenm i need a server running i figured i'd give it a try!07:35
philipballewSpamap5 ...07:35

benediktI am replacing an old mail office server that is running Mailscanner amongst other things to spam and virus filter emails to various domains. What is the most logical replacement for this on ubuntu?11:06
benediktThis server was set up by an odd howto (http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-spamsnake-ubuntu-8.04-p2)11:06
greppybenedikt: I have been happy with amavisd-new + spamassassin + clamav + greylisting11:08
benediktgreppy: I saw that in the ubuntu server guide. Is there a web interface (to keep my boss happy) for it?11:09
greppythat depends :)11:09
greppyI have actually been using a previous version of http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/spamfilter20110303.html with http://froxlor.org for hosting.11:10
benediktspammers have really messed the internet up.11:10
greppyheh11:11
greppyjust be glad that sendmail doesn't relay by default anymore :)11:11
benedikton second thought, converting this box to a kvm/qemu virtual machine is probably less work11:18
benediktanyone know why the wiki insists that virtual guests should not use ntp?11:20
greppybecause by default they get the clock from the dom011:21
benediktisnt dom0 a xen term?11:21
greppyyou can run ntp on a guest, you just have to make some other tweaks11:21
greppysame idea though11:21
greppyit gets time from the host11:22
benediktim not sure if i am running kvm or qemu, i set the server up according to the libvirt wiki page11:22
benediktit mentions both kvm and qemu11:22
greppyI've never setup kvm, and only used qemu under windows, so I won't be of much help there.11:23

sunilI want to generate heavy traffic on my network card, how can I do this,16:01
lynxmanping mvo16:03
genii-aroundsunil: You could do something like netcat, stream /dev/random or something16:04
sunilgenii-around: I am looking for about 400MB/s traffic, do you think netcat can do this16:04
genii-aroundsunil: I think it would depend on the source of what you are sending. Might be the bottleneck there (like hd speed if it's a file, etc)16:05
suniljaskal: I am using 23HDD on RAID016:05
suniljaskal: I am using 23HDD on RAID016:06

genii-aroundwork, afk16:07
sunilgenii-around: 32TB ram16:07
sunilgenii-around: xeon server16:08
genii-aroundsunil: If you have a massive file like 4G or so, with 2 machines you do: (machine with file on it)  cat 4g-filename | nc -l portnumber-here       (machine to receive file) nc <ip-of-machine-with-file>  portnumber-here > local-filename   eg: cat ubuntu-server.iso | nc -l 65534        and: nc 192.168.0.100 65534 > ubuntu-server-copy.iso16:17
sunilgenii-around: yes, I think this should work, but I have only one demo server.16:19
genii-aroundsunil: If you have 2 interfaces on the same box, you can use a crossover cable between them, then run the serve part on one interface, send it to the second interface16:20
sunilgenii-around: yes, that demo server contains 2 interface16:20
genii-aroundsunil: If you do that, add like: -s <ip-address-of-interface-serving-file>  to the first command16:21
sunilgenii-around: can you plz write command clearly for me16:21
sunilgenii-around: nc <ip> <port> < filename16:23
sunilgenii-around: do u think this will work16:23
RoyKif you have a gigabit interface or a newer 100Mbps card, crossover cable isn't needed - it's autosense16:26
