[02:53] <twb> Anybody ever seen a "isw_dfabidfjfa_Volume0" device in /dev/mapper before?
[02:53] <twb> pvscan is finding my LVM on it instead of sda (where it actually is)
[02:59] <patdk-lap> twb, that would be the intel soft-raid stuff
[02:59] <patdk-lap> you must have raid enabled in the bios
[03:01] <twb> Thanks, that's what I thought, but I couldn't google for the randomized string
[03:01] <twb> Stupid hardware vendor.  He was specifically told not to ship with RAID on
[03:09] <patdk-lap> atleast he already mirrored the drives for you :)
[03:20] <twb> nope
[03:20] <twb> Lemme show you
[03:21] <twb> http://paste.debian.net/121222/
[03:24] <twb> So it's set up with a single one-disk RAID0 or RAID1 array of only the first disk.
[03:44] <sparc> Hey there.  Are there compatibility libraries, like Redhat has, for programs that require older versions of libstdc++ ?
[03:45] <sparc> for instance Vertitas Netbackup wanting libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
[03:45] <sparc> i tried symlinking that to libstdc++.so.6, but i get missing symbols
[03:46] <sparc> sad panda
[03:49] <twb> sparc: NFI, but you have my sympathy :-(
[03:49] <sparc> haha :) thanks
[03:49] <twb> sparc: there are obsolete versions of packages in IIRC archive.ubuntu.com
[03:49] <sparc> Veritas was nice enough to drop 32-bit support in version 7, so i'm stuck with a 6, that doesn't work on ubuntu
[03:50] <twb> You could try pulling shit out of there and dropping it in $PWD, then adding LDPATH thingies in front to deal with that
[03:50] <sparc> cool, good deal
[03:50] <sparc> thanks
[06:22] <Shapeshiftr> Anyone there?
[06:22] <Shapeshiftr> I'm having installation issues with ubuntu 11.04
[06:22] <Shapeshiftr> i loaded the iso onto a usb flash drive
[06:23] <Shapeshiftr> and when i try to install ubuntu onto my freshly wiped server, it just beeps and nothing happens.
[06:23] <Shapeshiftr> I'm literally at the install menu, and I hit enter on "Install Ubuntu on a Hard Disk"
[06:23] <Shapeshiftr> anyone know?
[06:29] <ChmEarl> Shapeshiftr, which installer did you use? the ISO isn't bootable via USB?
[06:29] <Shapeshiftr> the Universal USB installer that the official site linked to.
[06:30] <Shapeshiftr> ChmEarl: ^
[06:30] <ChmEarl> Shapeshiftr, never tried that... I would debootstrap it
[06:31] <Shapeshiftr> What would that entail, ChmEarl?
[06:31] <ChmEarl> you booted from bios?
[06:32] <Shapeshiftr> I guess so, because it doesn't recognize my HDD, apparently.
[06:32] <ChmEarl> maybe change in the bios to legacy SATA
[06:33] <Shapeshiftr> That might work, yeah.
[06:33] <Shapeshiftr> I've installed ubuntu on this computer before, but I might've reset some BIOS options at one point or another.
[06:35] <ChmEarl> Shapeshiftr, if the disk controller has ahci set, that caused me trouble before
[06:35] <Shapeshiftr> Yeah, when I was installing windows that was the big issue for me.
[06:36] <Shapeshiftr> It's an IDE drive, and it looks like its recognizing it in bios.
[06:36] <ChmEarl> then maybe the drive has meta data still there
[06:36] <ChmEarl> from raid
[06:37] <Shapeshiftr> never raided it.
[06:37] <Shapeshiftr> it's a microatx setup, no room for 2 HDDs :\
[06:38] <Shapeshiftr> so bios recognizes it fine, but the only thing that the installer can do is go into rescue mode, where it stops at the disk choosing menu, not picking up an IDE HDD
[06:38] <ChmEarl> I would stare at the bios settings more
[06:38] <Shapeshiftr> haha, bios is old and simple.
[06:40] <Shapeshiftr> I think I'm gonna try using 10.10
[06:40] <Shapeshiftr> or 10.04, whatever the LTS is.
[06:43] <twb> Between old/simple/broken and new/complicated/broken I will have the former, thanks :-{P
[06:44] <twb> IME linux doesn't work correctly *unless* AHCI is enabled.
[07:06] <overrider_> id like to setup xorg and fluxbox, then give a few users on my LAN access so they can connect to the Machine via VNC, are greeted by a Login Screen (slim, gdm, ...,) and can login using their Username and Password. How to get started?
[07:06] <overrider_> Just get a VNC Server such as x11vnc or are there better methods...
[07:22] <twb> overrider_: X is network transparent
[07:22] <twb> overrider_: why use VNC when you can just use X?
[07:25] <overrider_> twb: i guess because i dont know how or using which client to connect to a remote x11 box - reading up
[07:30] <twb> LTSP is the easiest way to do it, unless you need stuff on the local workstations, too
[07:31] <twb> In which case, "ssh -X server program"
[07:46] <Syria> Hi
[07:46] <Syria> Please help me with this problem. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10989367#post10989367
[07:49] <Syria> I want to protect one of the folders in my VPS which is running under Ubuntu server 10.04 LTS I've tried doing this using .htaccess and I am being prompted for a user name and a password but when i enter the user name and the password I get the same window again and I am sure that I am entering the correct information.
[08:17] <greppy> Syria: first off, I don't normally keep .htpasswd files in a web directory, but what if anything is showing up in the apache log files?
[08:22] <Syria> greppy:  Is this normal? http://paste.ubuntu.com/634058/
[08:22] <Syria> greppy:  This is apache error log.
[08:24] <RoyK> HAPPY CAPS LOCK DAY
[08:24] <zer01> Hello somebody help, I have problem with LVM after boot.
[08:26] <Syria> RoyK:  CAPS LOCK AWARNESS DAY :D
[08:26] <RoyK> SOMETHING LIKE THAT
[08:26] <zer01> YEAH
[08:26] <zer01> YEAH
[08:28] <Syria> HELP ME.
[08:28] <Syria> PLEASE.
[08:29] <RoyK> WITH WHAT? REMOVING THE CAPS LOCK KEY?
[08:29] <zer01> :-)
[08:31] <amelin> zer01: maybe you should tell your problem :-)
[08:32] <greppy> Syria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634084/
[08:32] <zer01> OK, I have problem with LVM after boot, I can't set up vgscan in init.d
[08:33] <Syria> greppy:  Thank you, I have to change the name of the user right?
[08:33] <greppy> nope, you need to add the <limit > </limit> stuff
[08:36] <Syria> greppy:  This is what I have done. http://paste.ubuntu.com/634087/  !! I am not sure about it but the problem is still existed.
[08:38] <greppy> Syria: does "/var/www/folder/.htpasswd" exist?
[08:38] <Syria> greppy:  Yeah I am sure about this.
[08:38] <w00> allowoverride?
[08:39] <Syria> w00:  allowoverride I am sure that allowoverride is activated. because i can user permalinks in wordpress.
[08:39] <RoyK> allowoverride authconfig
[08:40] <greppy> Syria: what errors are showing up in your apache logs now that you made the change? before it was complaining that there wasn't a limit section.
[08:40] <Syria> RoyK:  What is that?
[08:40] <RoyK> Syria: iirc permalinks doesn't require authconfig
[08:40] <RoyK> authconfig is authentication configuration, as in .htpasswd etc
[08:40] <w00> RoyK, yeah but he probably has 'all'
[08:40] <greppy> *nod* permalinks are rewrite
[08:40] <RoyK> w00: that's not good ;P
[08:42] <Syria> greppy:  This is the final error log http://paste.ubuntu.com/634090/
[08:46] <Syria> How can I make sure that Allowoverride is activated?
[08:47] <greppy> access to /folder/1.png failed, reason: user 'user' does not meet 'require'ments for user/valid-user to be allowed access
[08:48] <greppy> that's what is relevant to your problems.
[08:48] <greppy> change "require user" to "require valid-user"
[08:48] <Syria> greppy:  Please tell me what should I do regarding this!
[08:52] <w00> He just did..
[08:53] <Syria> I am too stupid to understand what has he just said. :(
[08:54] <w00> Paste your htpasswd
[08:54] <Syria> It works!!!
[08:56] <Syria> You guys are awesome thanks.. greppy  w00  RoyK
[09:19] <Syria> w00:  I am trying to add a new user and a new password but i am getting this: "htpasswd: unable to update file /var/www/folder/.htpasswd "

[14:34] <baffle> Anyone here have any experience with IPMI on (cheapo) Dell PE210 II servers? The BMC seems to reboot on system reboot..
[14:36] <patdk-wk> bmc reboots on reboots on all my ipmi machines
[14:37] <baffle> patdk-wk: Hmm, how do you get to your BIOS via SOL then?
[14:39] <patdk-wk> never bothered
[14:40] <patdk-wk> I have never needed to get into the bios via ipmi
[14:41] <baffle> patdk-wk: Aha. I'd like to change boot from HD -> PXE.
[14:41] <baffle> patdk-wk: Maybe it's just me, but I think it is a normal thing to want. :-/
[14:45] <patdk-wk> dunno, for mine, I would never need to or have a purpose to do that
[14:45] <patdk-wk> the machines that I sometimes reinstall remotely, are all hp ilo2 blades
[14:46] <baffle> Yeah, a proper ilo/drac sure beats this.
[14:48] <ssureshot> is there a way to see what options cups was compiled with? I'd like to compile the newest version with the same options
[14:55] <joschi> ssureshot: you can look into the debian package spec. you can get it with `apt-get source [packagename]`
[14:57] <bau-> hi all, i have this issue: i have a php page on my server, which should send an email to an address. The problem is that i have to configure postfix, but i can't do it, even reading the wiki... can anybody help me?
[14:57] <ssureshot> joschi: ah,, thank you,,, this is good info I wasn't aware apt was capable of..
[15:02] <ssureshot> joschi: where does that unpack to?
[15:03] <joschi> ssureshot: the current working dir
[15:04] <ssureshot> ha!! and here I am looking everywhere but
[15:05] <RoAkSoAx> zul: ping?
[15:21] <zul> RoAkSoAx: whats up?
[15:24] <RoAkSoAx> zul: so I have started looking into replacing the grubby thingy for koan
[15:24] <zul> RoAkSoAx: ok
[15:25] <RoAkSoAx> zul: so, what do you think is best? ship a script under /etc/grub.d/<whatever> to everytime we use cobbler --replace-self someohow detects it
[15:25] <RoAkSoAx> zul: or just create the file during execution
[15:26] <zul> RoAkSoAx: umm...check with cjwatson he goes grub ;)
[15:26] <RoAkSoAx> zul: ok ;)
[15:33] <raubvogel> Why is when I tell my 10.04LTS box to remove ssmtp it wants to remove request-tracker3.8 rt3.8-clients ssmtp?
[15:34] <Jcook_5xData> anyone here know the about spf records? I add one but I am unsure if I should create separate record one for google apps and one for my local ip?
[15:34] <joschi> raubvogel: probably because rt requires some mta installed. see `aptitude why ssmtp`
[15:35] <Jcook_5xData> or combine them like this "v=spf1 ip4:173.162.32.1 include:_spf.google.com +all"
[15:35] <joschi> Jcook_5xData: do you ever send out mail from your own server?
[15:35] <raubvogel> joschi, interesting. I tried to install msmtp and it did not replace ssmtp
[15:35] <Jcook_5xData> yes
[15:35] <joschi> Jcook_5xData: then you need to add its IP address
[15:37] <joschi> raubvogel: if you take a close look at the dependencies of request-tracker3.8, you'll see that it depends on mail-transport-agent (http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/mail-transport-agent)
[15:37] <raubvogel> But it does not consider msmtp, which has more features than ssmtp, a valid mail-transport-agent
[15:38] <joschi> raubvogel: look at the link I provided
[15:39] <Jcook_5xData> joschi, I did that the 173.162.. address. I look on openspf.org but it does not say how to handle multipliable address that send on my behalf. do I need to create a separate record every address I have to get access to or have one record and string them together like above.
[15:42] <joschi> Jcook_5xData: your syntax for the SPF record is correct as far as I see
[15:43] <joschi> Jcook_5xData: just that +all is "disabling" spf effectively (see http://www.openspf.org/SPF_Record_Syntax#all)
[15:45] <Jcook_5xData> cool thank. I was unsure and I did not want to disable our email. I will change it -all when i am done testing :)
[16:33] <DMKitsch> hi i am getting a 403 error
[16:33] <DMKitsch> pi think i messed aruond with ownership too much, can anybody help?
[16:33] <evilsushi> anyone here experienced with apt-mirror? I am usiung this mirror.list file http://pastie.org/private/gigk5ffr7ldoo7z0ca it grabs all the Packages.gz and creates some directory structure but is not actually downloading any of the .deb files.
[16:33] <DMKitsch> I*
[16:34] <evilsushi> pastie the conf for the vhost you are working on
[16:34] <evilsushi> and a list of permissions.
[16:34] <chieffancypants> DMKitsch: where are your WWW files?  Just chmod them +777 or something temporarily to diagnose
[16:34] <evilsushi> No.
[16:34] <evilsushi> That is terrible advice.
[16:35] <DMKitsch> chieffancypants /var/www
[16:35] <evilsushi> Pastie your permissions and vhost conf.
[16:35] <DMKitsch> is the permissions using ls -la?
[16:36] <chieffancypants> yes
[16:36] <evilsushi> sure that will work
[16:36] <evilsushi> pastie.org
[16:36] <DMKitsch> root@Ubuntu:/var/www# ls -la total 16 drwxrwx---  2 root root       4096 2011-06-28 15:59 . drwxr-xr-x 16 root root       4096 2011-06-27 19:19 .. -rwxrwx---  1 root root        177 2011-06-27 19:19 index.html lrwxrwxrwx  1 root www-access   21 2011-06-27 19:53 phpmyadmin -> /usr/share/phpmyadmin -rwxrwx---  1 root root         18 2011-06-28 15:47 testphp.php root@Ubuntu:/var/www#
[16:36] <DMKitsch> hmm
[16:36] <chieffancypants> can you read the index.html from a browser?
[16:37] <chieffancypants> also your permissions are all over the place
[16:37] <chieffancypants> what user does apache run as
[16:37] <DMKitsch> hmm
[16:37] <DMKitsch> #localhost says this: Forbidden  You don't have permission to access / on this server.  Apache/2.2.17 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
[16:38] <DMKitsch> which is index.html isn't it?
[16:38] <DMKitsch> i do not know, i am newish to linux so know little commands
[16:38] <chieffancypants> depends on config, just go to http://localhost/index.html
[16:39] <DMKitsch> still a 403
[16:39] <chieffancypants> ps aux | grep apache
[16:39] <chieffancypants> what is listed in the far left column
[16:39] <chieffancypants> which user?
[16:40] <DMKitsch> one sec
[16:40] <DMKitsch> http://pastebin.com/j5WHbz4M
[16:40] <kirkland> negronjl: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2010/07/man-your-browser.html
[16:41] <DMKitsch> i posted the results in pastebin :)
[16:41] <chieffancypants> DMKitsch: cd /var; sudo chown www-data -R www
[16:42] <chieffancypants> DMKitsch: you can leave off the sudo, it looks like you're logged in as root
[16:42] <DMKitsch> ok
[16:43] <DMKitsch> it works!
[16:43] <chieffancypants> yay!
[16:43] <evilsushi> So now you know how to ask questions properly?
[16:43] <evilsushi> pastie is your friend.
[16:43] <DMKitsch> has this disallowed access to the user 'dave'
[16:43] <DMKitsch> ah
[16:44] <chieffancypants> DMKitsch: you want user dave to also have access, you mean?
[16:44] <DMKitsch> i need to give the user 'dave' access to the var/www folder
[16:44] <DMKitsch> i got it earler
[16:44] <evilsushi> use groups.
[16:44] <chieffancypants> you can simply give him the group access
[16:45] <DMKitsch> dave is part of the group www-access
[16:45] <DMKitsch> i made a group earlier
[16:45] <chieffancypants> chown www-data:www-access -R /var/www
[16:45] <chieffancypants> then chmod gu+rw -R /var/www
[16:45] <evilsushi> chieffancypants: any experience with apt-mirror?
[16:46] <chieffancypants> evilsushi: hmm, nope
[16:46] <DMKitsch> ok that seems to have made it forbidden to access the server again :(
[16:46] <DMKitsch> 403
[16:46] <chieffancypants> you copied it exactly as I wrote it?
[16:46] <evilsushi> just add dave to the www-data group
[16:47] <DMKitsch> yesoh
[16:47] <DMKitsch> oh
[16:47] <evilsushi> also you need to post your vhost conf like i asked
[16:47] <DMKitsch> i set the but dave is in the group web-access
[16:47] <evilsushi> cause 403 can be issued by order denys
[16:47] <DMKitsch> how do i do that?
[16:48] <chieffancypants> you're using the default server LAMP installation of ubuntu?
[16:48] <DMKitsch> i didn't install lamp
[16:48] <chieffancypants> did you apt-get install apache2 or did you compile from src
[16:48] <DMKitsch> installed mysql/apache/php separatley
[16:49] <chieffancypants> if you installed through apt-get, the default location is /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
[16:50] <chieffancypants> usually 000-default
[16:50] <DMKitsch> ok
[16:51] <DMKitsch> http://pastebin.com/300tsJRN
[16:52] <DMKitsch_> sorry about that
[16:53] <chieffancypants> and what is your ls -al of /var/www
[16:54] <DMKitsch_> http://pastebin.com/zW7fBUF9
[16:55] <chieffancypants> and specifically requesting localhost/index.html is giving you a 403?
[16:56] <genii-around> Hm, www-access group
[16:56] <DMKitsch_> hmm
[16:56] <DMKitsch_> yes i made it earlier
[16:57] <chieffancypants> yeah, you could take evilsushi's advice and add your dave user to the www-data group
[16:57] <DMKitsch_> ok localhost works but localhost/phpmyadmin does not
[16:57] <chieffancypants> ah ok
[16:57] <chieffancypants> does testphp work?
[16:58] <chieffancypants> just write something like <?php phpinfo(); ?> to a test.php file to see if php is working or now
[16:58] <DMKitsch_> um
[16:59] <DMKitsch_> yup PHP works
[16:59] <chieffancypants> ok, then /usr/share/phpmyadmin needs it's file permissions set as well
[16:59] <chieffancypants> since you're symlinking
[16:59] <DMKitsch_> however 'dave' can not view or write to the folder
[16:59] <DMKitsch_> ok
[17:00] <chieffancypants> is the dave user actualyly part of www-access?
[17:00] <DMKitsch_> yes
[17:00] <DMKitsch_> is there a way to check
[17:00] <DMKitsch_> oh yeh hang on
[17:00] <chieffancypants> are you trying to write to /var/www or phpmyadmin
[17:00] <DMKitsch_> uid=1000(dave) gid=1000(dave) groups=1000(dave),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),112(lpadmin),121(admin),122(sambashare),1001(www-access)
[17:01] <DMKitsch_> in the file explorer i can not view the /var/www folder
[17:03] <DMKitsch_> chieffancypants /var/www i am trying to read but cannot
[17:05] <chieffancypants> are you on the server version of ubuntu, yet have a file explorer?
[17:05] <chieffancypants> or are you trying to pull this remotely?
[17:05] <DMKitsch_> no i am in the desktop edition
[17:05] <chieffancypants> and you're logged in as the dave user?
[17:06] <DMKitsch_> yes but i have bash open as root
[17:07] <chieffancypants> in the top right, the username says dave?
[17:07] <chieffancypants> next to the power icon
[17:07] <DMKitsch_> yes
[17:07] <chieffancypants> and are you directly accessing /var/www or are you trying to browse through it from /var, which you may not have access to
[17:08] <DMKitsch_> oh right
[17:08] <chieffancypants> ls -al /var
[17:08] <DMKitsch_> one second
[17:08]  * patdk-wk wonders where www-access came from, isn't that owned by www-data?
[17:08] <DMKitsch_> no directly to WWW
[17:08] <DMKitsch_> i made it myself, is it a bad name to have chosen?
[17:09] <chieffancypants> no, it's ok...it's just close to www-data so other are probably thinking there's a typo
[17:09] <DMKitsch_> ahh
[17:09] <chieffancypants> open a new terminal window CTRL+ALT+T
[17:09] <chieffancypants> it should open it as user dave
[17:09] <chieffancypants> cd /var/www
[17:09] <DMKitsch_> yup
[17:09] <chieffancypants> see if you can ls
[17:10] <patdk-wk> oh, I see you already changed the permissions
[17:10] <chieffancypants> patdk-wk: yeah
[17:10] <DMKitsch_> ATM i am in my home directory i think?
[17:10] <chieffancypants> yeah
[17:10] <chieffancypants> type "cd /var/www"
[17:10] <chieffancypants> then "ls -al"
[17:11] <DMKitsch_> bash: cd: /var/www: Permission denied
[17:11] <chieffancypants> uhh
[17:11] <Pici> ls -ld /var/www/
[17:11] <DMKitsch_> dave@Ubuntu:~$ ls -ld /var/www/
[17:11] <DMKitsch_> drwxrwx--- 2 www-data www-access 4096 2011-06-28 15:59 /var/www/
[17:11] <DMKitsch_> dave@Ubuntu:~$

[17:12] <DMKitsch_> dave@Ubuntu:~$ groups dave
[17:12] <DMKitsch_> dave : dave adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare www-access
[17:12] <DMKitsch_> dave@Ubuntu:~$
[17:12] <chieffancypants> that doesn't make any sense
[17:12] <chieffancypants> make sure /var has +r just in case
[17:13] <chieffancypants> which it does by default
[17:13] <chieffancypants> chmod +r /var
[17:13] <DMKitsch_> dave@Ubuntu:~$ chmod +r /var
[17:13] <DMKitsch_> chmod: changing permissions of `/var': Operation not permitted
[17:13] <DMKitsch_> dave@Ubuntu:~$
[17:13] <chieffancypants> sudo !!
[17:13] <DMKitsch_> oh should i be doing this as root?
[17:13] <chieffancypants> no, just sudo it
[17:14] <DMKitsch_> ok
[17:14] <chieffancypants> and !! repeats the last command
[17:14] <DMKitsch_> oh whoops
[17:14] <DMKitsch_> i just pressed up and added sudo to the end
[17:14] <Pici> It doesn't matter.
[17:14] <DMKitsch_> beginnign
[17:14] <DMKitsch_> oh ok
[17:15] <chieffancypants> yeah, just type "sudo chmod +r /var"
[17:15] <DMKitsch_> done :)
[17:15] <chieffancypants> now, still as dave "cd /var/www"
[17:16] <DMKitsch_> dave@Ubuntu:/var$ cd /var/www
[17:16] <DMKitsch_> bash: cd: /var/www: Permission denied
[17:16] <DMKitsch_> dave@Ubuntu:/var$ .^C
[17:17] <chieffancypants> this isn't making any sense
[17:17] <DMKitsch_> the ^C is me doing copy/paste the windows way, i need to get out the habit
[17:17] <DMKitsch_> hmm
[17:17] <patdk-wk> sure it does
[17:17] <patdk-wk> he didn't logout/login since he joined himself to the www-access group
[17:18] <chieffancypants> I didn't know you had to
[17:18] <DMKitsch_> oh
[17:18] <patdk-wk> yep
[17:18] <DMKitsch_> well bbs, lets try that
[17:19] <DMKitsch> back
[17:20] <DMKitsch> ok i can access it!
[17:21] <DMKitsch> yay!
[17:21] <DMKitsch> chieffancypants, patdk-wk, thank you so much for the help
[17:22] <DMKitsch> just need to set the permissions to phpmyadmin
[17:23] <DMKitsch> hi?
[17:25] <Pici> hi.
[17:25] <chieffancypants> DMKitsch: do the same to your /usr/share/phpmyadmin
[17:26] <chieffancypants> sudo chown www-data:www-access -R /usr/share/phpmyadmin
[17:26] <Pici> Why do you need to modify phpmyadmin's files?
[17:26] <DMKitsch> i just need to read them
[17:26] <chieffancypants> there's no read access, most likely
[17:26] <DMKitsch> i have no access at all
[17:26] <chieffancypants> that command should fix it
[17:27] <Pici> Normally you don't need to access them directly, just your webserver does.
[17:27] <DMKitsch> yes, my webserver is chucking a 403
[17:27] <patdk-wk> and when you change the user the webserver uses? :)
[17:27] <DMKitsch> thanks
[17:28] <DMKitsch> working 100%
[17:28] <chieffancypants> great
[17:28] <DMKitsch> you guys are awsome
[17:29] <DMKitsch> i was obviously had bad experiences when i first used this a long time ago
[17:29] <chieffancypants> :)
[17:30] <DMKitsch> thanks so much, see you later
[17:30] <chieffancypants> np, adios
[17:42] <DMKitsch> do you guys perfer komposer or bluefish/
[17:49] <patdk-wk> well, I try not to use kde, so I go with bluefish
[17:51] <chieffancypants> I like geany a lot -- just started using it though
[18:54] <Jasonn> I have a problem
[18:54] <Jasonn> I cannot install a program with dpkg -i
[18:54] <Jasonn> on my server
[18:56] <genii-around> Does it say anything enlightening when you try?
[19:46] <jimmy51_> can i run a command that will uninstall every package I've installed since the original OS installation?
[19:46] <jimmy51_> i've got a lot of goofy stuff happening due to trying out a 3rd party samba/kerberos solution
[19:47] <KillMeNow> you can try 'rm -fR /'
[19:47] <KillMeNow> but seriously, don't do that
[19:47] <jimmy51_> that's throwing a lot of errors
[19:48] <jimmy51_> uh oh... i don't think that helped
[19:48] <KillMeNow> you didn't seriously type that in did you?
[19:48] <jimmy51_> hehe, no.
[19:48] <KillMeNow> *whew*
[19:48] <KillMeNow> i was just messing with ya
[19:51] <jimmy51_> KillMeNow: likewise
[19:51] <jimmy51_> (messing with ya)
[19:51] <KillMeNow> missed all that Jimmy51, apparently Pici was bent by my joke and kicked me
[19:52] <guntbert> !joke | KillMeNow
[19:52] <chieffancypants> jimmy51_: there should be a record of each install you make in /var/lib/dpkg/info
[19:53] <chieffancypants> if you know when you installed, you can weed out all the new packages since that time
[19:53] <jimmy51_> chieffancypants: ah... with some kind of date sort?
[19:53] <chieffancypants> yeah
[19:54] <chieffancypants> actually, here's a way to sort it
[19:54] <chieffancypants> echo -e "State     \tLast change \t \tName" > PkgLog && ls -lsrt /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list | awk '{print $6"\t"$7"  "$8"\t"$9}' | sed -e "s/\/var\/lib\/dpkg\/info\///" -e "s/.list//" -e "s/^0\t/Removed \t/" -e "s/^[0-9]*\t/Installed\t/" >> PkgLog
[19:54] <KillMeNow> you can use the -mtime +/-Days
[19:54] <jimmy51_> ls -lrt /var/lib/dpkg/info
[19:54] <jimmy51_> yikes that's long.
[19:54] <jimmy51_> chieffancypants: did you just type all that in on the fly?
[19:54] <KillMeNow> chieffancypants breaks out the mastery of regex
[19:55] <chieffancypants> haha, no...I just found it
[19:56] <jimmy51_> it'll take me a bit to run that on the other machine
[19:56] <chieffancypants> no ssh?
[19:57] <DMKitsch> hello everyone
[19:58] <jimmy51_> chieffancypants: SWEET.    good list.  now i just need to write a bash script to loop through and auto remove.
[19:58] <DMKitsch> does anybody mind going though how to set up a password protected directory in linux using apache?
[19:58] <jimmy51_> chieffancypants: there are absolutely never any spaces in a package name, right?
[19:58] <chieffancypants> jimmy51_: hrrmm....not sure
[20:00] <DMKitsch> anybody wishing to help?
[20:01] <DMKitsch> .
[20:02] <DMKitsch> ok bye
[20:04] <genii-around> Too bad, was just going to point him at http://www.sitedeveloper.ws/tutorials/htaccess.htm
[20:08] <KillMeNow> course if they googled first, they probably would have found their answer
[20:20] <torturedsoul> is there a live CD version of ubuntu-server
[20:20] <torturedsoul> i want to run it from a usb stick
[20:20] <torturedsoul> without installing...
[20:23] <koolhead17> torturedsoul: you can always do that. Use UNetbootin ubuntu package and create a bootable pendrive via it. :)
[20:26] <jimmy51_> chieffancypants: good news... made a script that loops through the result file and is apt-get removing all of the packages i want..
[20:27] <jimmy51_> chieffancypants: i think i might have messed up though... apt-get remove -y doesn't remove .conf files, does it?
[20:27] <jimmy51_> i want them gone too... probably should have purged as well.
[21:22] <pythonirc101> I'm trying to configure the network on an ubuntu-server, and when i restart /etc/init.d/networking -- it says cant bring up eth0
[21:23] <pythonirc101> any ideas what i might be missing...I did edit /etc/network/interfaces
[21:23] <genii-around> pythonirc101: Can you pastebin whats in that file now?
[21:25] <pythonirc101> genii-around: i cant...the machine is not connected
[21:25] <pythonirc101> when i do service networking start
[21:25] <pythonirc101> I get : Unable to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket
[21:25] <pythonirc101> No such file or directory
[21:26] <pythonirc101> something else wrong?
[21:26] <genii-around> pythonirc101: Have you tried instead: sudo initctl start networking
[21:27] <pythonirc101> ok, stupid me, forgot the sudo
[21:27] <pythonirc101> now it doesnt complain, but it wont connect to anything
[21:27] <RoyK> damn - takes me more than five minutes to download a ripped movie - about time to upgrade my internet connection...
[21:27] <pythonirc101> or namelookup
[21:28] <pythonirc101> genii-around: how do i debug it?
[21:28] <genii-around> pythonirc101: Did you set eth0 to be some static IP in /etc/network/interfaces ? If so then you probably also need to specify gateway and nameserver there too
[21:29] <pythonirc101> this is what i did : auto eth0\n iface eth0 inet static\n address myip\n netmask xxx \n ... the numbers are correct as given by my system network admin
[21:31] <guntbert> pythonirc101: !pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces please
[21:39] <genii-around> pythonirc101: Additionally however, you probably need at least a line like: dns-nameservers 1.2.3.4          (but not those numbers)
[21:43] <pythonirc101> genii-around: the dns stuff i put in /etc/resolve.conf - nameserver xxx \n nameserver \n search xx.xx.xx
[21:43] <pythonirc101> interfaces looks correct to me, since when i restart everything seems normal
[21:43] <pythonirc101> but it wont connect for some reason
[21:43] <genii-around> pythonirc101: Can you ping whatever the gateway is supposed to be?
[21:44] <pythonirc101> When i boot i do get this warning udevd-work[121]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sda, 10) failed: No such file or directory...
[21:44] <pythonirc101> lemme ping
[21:44] <pythonirc101> cant ping gateway
[21:45] <pythonirc101> how do i know my wire is actually connected to eth0 and not eth1?
[21:45] <genii-around> maybe ifconfig ... should see at least if there has been traffic on either
[21:45] <pythonirc101> got it, wrong wire connection! :)
[21:46] <genii-around> Cool.
[21:46] <pythonirc101> any ideas on how to fix this and what this means : When i boot i do get this warning udevd-work[121]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sda, 10) failed: No such file or directory... ?
[21:48] <pythonirc101> I would like to setup raid on this machine. Are there any nice user-interfaces to create software raids in ubuntu-servers?
[21:53] <kalle_> pythonirc101 ubuntu installer?
[21:53] <pythonirc101> kalle_: I rerun the installer?
[21:53] <pythonirc101> there is no raid gui inside the server that i can install and use?
[21:55] <kalle_> tbh i never looked for one, but i guess u can rerun installer and exit after it has created the raid, mdadm will find the raid
[21:56] <JanC> pythonirc101: in theory you could use udisks remotely from your desktop
[21:56] <JanC> I think
[21:56] <JanC> (never tried it)
[21:57] <pythonirc101> installing udisks
[21:58] <pythonirc101> i wanted a gui
[21:58] <JanC> at least, GNOME disk utility has an option to connect to a remote system to manage it...
[21:58] <pythonirc101> any gui's for making RAIDs
[21:58] <JanC> now, I'm not sure it supports RAID yet  ;)
[22:00] <JanC> anyway, I would suggets you use plain mdadm to create a software raid, it isn't all that difficult
[22:09] <pythonirc101> I created partitions on all my disks of type linux raid partitions
[22:09] <pythonirc101> then i try to create a raid using gnome utility and it tells me all of them are full?
[22:10] <DMKitsch> hey
[22:10] <DMKitsch> how do i set up password protection on a apache server to a directory
[22:11] <w00> #apache? ;/
[22:11] <genii-around> DMKitsch: http://www.sitedeveloper.ws/tutorials/htaccess.htm is pretty comprehensive also
[22:11] <pythonirc101> JanC: how do i know what names to use with mdadm?
[22:12] <pythonirc101> I want to setup raid5 on 4 disks on my machine
[22:15] <DMKitsch> thanks
[22:30] <MACscr> i cant seem to be getting the following error when trying to update: W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 8AB767895ADC2037
[22:31] <MACscr> are updates for maverick no longer available or what?
[22:33] <jpds> MACscr: You added a PPA to your system and didn't add its GPG key to your APT keyring.
[22:34] <MACscr> jpds: i havent made any changes to this system for months and its just now popping up. If it was a ppa that i added, why isnt it mentioning the one that i added so i know what i need to fix?
[22:35] <j3roth> Quick question. Does Ubuntu Server support multiple remote connections to it? As in remote desktop sessions?
[22:35] <jpds> j3roth: Are you thinking of LTSP?
[22:36] <j3roth> I looked into that, but maybe I am not understanding it. Does that give you the same functionality as Windows Server where I can remote into the box and it will spawn multiple X sessions?
[22:37] <jpds> MACscr: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+question/64418
[22:37] <jpds> j3roth: First, Ubuntu Server doesn't come with a desktop environment, but you can use things like SSH to remotely manage your system.
[22:37] <j3roth> right
[22:38] <MACscr> jpds: any key i try to add seems to time out. Is there  a certain port i need open in my firewall?
[22:39] <jpds> MACscr: 11371.
[22:40] <MACscr> jpds: yep, that was the issue. Thanks
