I reciently installed ubuntu on an HP Mediasmart Home Server. I was having a problem with my network adapter (eth0) not being recognized so I researched it online and found that I simply need to update the driver for the adapter. My problem is that I don't know how to download and install the driver. I was hoping someone here could give me some magical command that would do this for me :) === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [01:34] I'm having trouble getting my server to work with a static ip address [01:34] if its dhcp, my router recognises it [01:34] if it's static, it can't see anything [02:02] hey guys, I am trying ot install ubuntu server on some pretty old hardware. PIII, 512K RAM, SCSI hard disk and cd-rom. It boots up fine but when it comes time to start installing it says it can't mount the cd [02:03] anything I can do to get it to see it? [02:04] ot/to [02:11] most likely a problem with the SCSI drivers [02:12] also, I assume you meant 512MB RAM [02:12] because no system has had 512k since about the 286 era [02:12] heh yes I did mean that [02:12] fine specs for most purposes [02:13] but yeah, SCSI drivers are going to be your biggest issue [02:13] is there a net install option? [02:13] if you can hook up IDE, that'd be the best bet [02:13] you can install over the network but you have to get a live environment first, or a PXE server running [02:14] I highly doubt it can boot USB [02:14] otherwise that would be an option [02:14] doesn't even have usb ports I don't think [02:15] well, the P3 spans that era [02:15] some earlier, cheaper ones didn't have USB at all [02:15] some later ones had full USB boot [02:18] I've got a dual P3 compaq server with a SCSI array, but it has IDE CD [02:18] no special hoops to get it installed [02:20] it was made after the HP/compaq merger, but while they were still building machines under both names [02:31] ok, it does have a usb port. I missed it due to some strategic dust. I'll try booting from usb stick [02:46] ok, booting from usb is a no go [03:02] I have found a way to boot the USB drive. [03:03] I am using the boot manager burned to a cd from Plop (http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html) which allows me to select USB as the boot device! [03:05] maybe that can help someone else someday :) have a good weekend [03:13] how do I set up simple and actually working NAT with iptables? without firewall, no filtering (passing all trafic) [03:13] i wasted nearly 6 hours to make this work, without results [04:16] /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE [04:16] /sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT [04:16] /sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT [04:16] . [04:16] where eth0 is internet facing and eth1 is internal [04:17] ksx4system: ⤴ [04:21] ksx4system: also, turn on routing: 'sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1'; then edit /etc/sysctl.conf to make it permanent [04:25] sorry to but you guys again, but I've had zero luck googling for a resource that describes how to install the latest mono build... [04:25] how would I go about getting mono-2.10.2 an mod_mono 2.10?? [04:27] etcetera_: bake your own package. even 11.10 only currently has 2.10.1 [04:28] yikes. it's been 3 years since I booted into linux and I need to bake my own package :-( [04:29] it's called bleeding edge for a reason ;) [04:30] fortunately that's generally pretty easy, just get the source package for the most recent packaged version, copy out the debian directory, and make the new one with it [04:31] a lot easier than dependency hunting [04:31] hmm, https://github.com/nathanb/iws-snippets/blob/master/mono-install-scripts/ubuntu/install_mono-2.10.sh [04:32] trying to run this, but getting " : invalid option" [04:32] they tried to make it easy, but they don't even build a package [04:32] they just make install at the end [04:32] that's going to be a mess next time you need to update [04:33] yea...but that's not "they" that's one guys github repo. [04:33] and no way anyone would expect me to build a package at this stage. [04:34] well, it's leading you down the right path, I'd just install the packages it installs [04:34] get the sources it gets [04:34] then checkinstall to build a package, instead of make install [04:34] it's not exactly a proper packaging, but it serves the purpose of making it easy to remove [04:35] heh fair enough just replace `make install` with `checkinstall`? [04:35] yep [04:35] of course you have to install checkinstall first [04:35] but yeah, it'll make a .deb [04:35] after asking a few questions [06:08] i would like to move my / file system to another drive, any advice? [06:09] i'm thinking of booting a live cd and using dd to copy the partition [06:09] is there anything i need to consider in order to boot from the copy? [06:11] dns53, I would just mount both drives and copy the files [06:11] ymmv [06:12] that will never work for databases if you like the contents [06:13] you cannot safely copy a writeable file system as a file may change while you copy it [06:15] Who's in charge of keeping servers running at Canonical and how do we contact them? http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/ is down [06:16] i think they had an admin channel on freenode, let me look [07:16] New bug: #804636 in amavisd-new (main) "package amavisd-new-postfix 1:2.6.5-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: il sottoprocesso vecchio script di post-installation ha restituito lo stato di errore 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/804636 [08:16] New bug: #804645 in postfix (main) "package postfix 2.8.2-1ubuntu2.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/804645 [08:45] hmm i cloned a disk with dd, now both devices have the same uuid [09:14] dns53: tune2fs -U ought to be able to help you [09:16] dns53: Note that I haven't done it myself, but based on the man page an educated *guess* is "sudo tune2fs -U random /dev/sdXN" [09:34] hi [09:35] Hi [09:36] Is it okay that I update the .htpasswd file manually? without using the command line? [09:36] hi try to make a mail server with this features: fetch the mail from 3 account into a local mail imap server-. I can try to see the same mail from 3 different client at the same time. Is it possible to make a mail server only with dovecot + fetchmail? [10:20] andol thx, i googled it and that is what you need to do [10:43] hey i found out something cool [10:43] type [10:43] dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda in your terminal [10:43] !ops [10:43] Help! Channel emergency! soren, lamont, mathiaz or tom [10:44] ..... [10:44] ? [10:59] uec-images.ubuntu.com is now responding to pings, but the web server still isn't accepting connections. [12:00] * mattt stares at jabbathehutt [12:33] matti: he left just after trolling [12:33] mattt: or perhaps I'd answer you instead :P [12:33] ^^ [12:33] RoyK: Error: "^" is not a valid command. [12:33] ^kill uvirtbot [12:33] RoyK: Error: "kill" is not a valid command. [12:37] * mattt stares at RoyK [12:37] :P [13:43] hello [13:43] i can't sudo su - on my ubuntu lucid [13:43] sudo su - sudo: must be setuid root [13:43] azertyu: Please don't post the same question in multiple channels [13:44] lol is there any problem ? U [13:46] azertyu: You should ask your question in the channel for the distribution you are having the problem with..eg: ubuntu problem...#ubuntu ..ubuntu server problem ..#ubuntu-server ...and so on [13:46] can anyone help me to ignore an user ? [16:22] i have ubuntu server and lamp.. how to link when i create new user to have its own WWW space [16:24] djdexter: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/public_html.html [16:52] how do I use Dropbear (dbclient) as ssh client (= ssh command) after un-installing openssh-client? [17:15] ksx4system: dbclient user@example.com # should work fine [19:32] jmarsden: i know how to use dbclient :P i just needed to use command ssh for dbclient, a symbolic link fixed this [22:29] RoyK: Hehe, you wanted matt, didn't you? :) [22:42] any dropbox like apps i can use on my server? [22:44] dassouki: what exactly do you need? [22:45] make a folder on my server for fast gui access, one of our isps blocks dropbox [22:46] fast GUI access for yourself or others? [22:46] myself only [22:46] so, just use ssh/sftp? [22:46] well, if i'm on my windows machine, I can't just click on an app's File/Open and open the file [22:47] you can if you have an ssh/scp/sftp plugin for Explorer [22:47] that, or you could VPN and use samba [22:47] not sure if there exists one that is open source or freeware [22:47] hey [22:47] i'm willing to pay [22:47] well within $50 [22:48] I remember one was included with the "Homesite" editor, 10 years ago ;) [22:48] openvpn's pretty easy to do [22:49] and i have openvpn setup [22:49] as that's how i connect to my field counters in the middle of knowhere [22:49] then you could use samba, just make sure samba isn't exposed externally on the server [22:49] you'll take a performance hit over a direct solution [22:49] that's another story ... $10 a month to have a phone line installed $1,000 to get a electrical wire to the box [22:49] but not much, 10% at the most [22:49] any idea why these rules block outgoing get request from being established [22:49] http://pastebin.com/wdKKFSvG [22:50] so why isn't there an opensource alternative to drop box? [22:50] free or not [22:50] there are, just not for windows [22:50] ubuntu one is basically the same idea [22:50] dassouki: you could try ubuntuone for windows, which is experimental AFAIK ;) [22:51] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Windows [22:52] JanC: i guess, I have my own server, I was just wondering if there was an app i could've instaleld [22:53] amero, you're not allowing related,established on any actual interfaces, just the vmnet0 [22:53] http://www.swish-sftp.org/ seems useful ;) [22:54] what's your experience with CRMs ? I run a 3 person shop, and I was considering using Zimbra [22:55] any other solutions you might recommend for a server / mail solution, CRM,etc ? [22:55] (seriously, why does one need open source to make Windows usable? :P ) [22:56] do you mean groupware or CRM or both? [22:56] JanC: Cause linux fails at niche apps for non/programmers non itfield ppl [22:56] i mean both [22:56] qman__: why venet0 isnt the actual interface? [22:57] dassouki: linux includes proper support by default, it's Windows tah tneeds all sorts of cludges (provided by open source apps) ;) [22:59] I didn't know Zimbra did real CRM [23:00] http://gallery.zimbra.com/category/crm/recent [23:00] but anyways, All I'm trying to do is setup a server to run most of our needs, scheduler, mail-server, crm etc [23:00] ah, using plugins [23:01] My budget would be around $200 to $500 [23:01] to setup the whole shebang [23:02] sorry, not much experience with that; maybe somebody else can help with that [23:02] it might be possible to cobble everything together from open source too [23:03] well some opensource costs money [23:03] i'm willing to pay if i can save a headache and not have to get an it/sys admin [23:03] well, if you want other people to cobble things together... ;) [23:04] ya there's elance for that lol [23:06] I think you should also make a list of what exactly you need from that CRM etc. [23:07] for example SugarCRM might be overkill for what you need ;) [23:07] how can I configure NTPd to accept NTP requests from global external requests? [23:11] Which of uname -i, -m, -p returns i386 on a 32bit system? [23:12] I suppose `arch` does.. [23:13] jMCg: 32 bit might parse with i[0-9]86 ... [23:13] jMCg: It might be i386, i686 ... [23:14] jMCg: Probably everything not x86_64 is 32 bit on Intel / AMD platform. [23:14] Well, besides Itanium ;] [23:14] matti: don't want to parse, want to use to create lib/foo-linux-gnu style directory. [23:14] matti: that will be ia64. [23:14] Yes. [23:15] Use arch then. [23:15] I you need auto-discovery or something, or simply ship the directory you want ;] [23:16] building my own stack from software from /trunk/ - it's.. fun :D [23:16] how can I configure NTPd to accept NTP requests from global external requests? [23:17] jeeves_moss: Remove the restrict clauses? [23:17] jeeves_moss: Remove restrictions I guess. [23:17] jpds: Hey hey hey ;] [23:20] jMCg: it seems that when run inside a Xen VM, only "uname -m" returns something useful for me [23:21] the other two return "unknown" there [23:23] JanC: arch too? [23:23] JanC: and what is the useful in this case? [23:24] arch returns the same as "uname -m", so that's useful too [23:24] they return "x86_64" in this case [23:25] That are not the 32bit I was looking for ;) [23:25] ah, right [23:25] stuill, might be useful to know that the other 2 uname options are useless ;) [23:25] JanC: 's fine, I'll stick with arch [23:26] I could check in a 32-bit VM I guess [23:28] jMCg: seems like both 'arch' and 'uname -m' return i686 inside a virtualbox VM [23:28] JanC: weird. And which gives you i386 on 32? [23:29] is one supposed to? [23:31] maybe something related to building/linking ?
