[01:27] <pukeko> hi all - i want to tunnel an rdesktop over ssh but my sshd runs on a non standard port whats the syntax for this please ?
[01:30] <jmarsden> pukeko: add -p YOURPORT  to the ssh command that will do it for an sshd on the standard port.
[01:30] <Delerium_> pukeko, check this: http://www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~jbirkhol/rdesktop-math.html
[01:30] <Delerium_> pukeko, and add the -p swtich for your sshd port
[01:34] <pukeko> hmm ok cool ... what if the rdesktop is also on the sshd ( example a VM host ) ?
[01:36] <Delerium_> pukeko, can you describe the network flow please? (ie: Client -> sshd (port?!) -> where the rdesktop server is / where the rdesktop client is...
[01:36] <pukeko> brb
[01:42] <pukeko> ok...server which is a VM-Host runs sshd -p 8165, i want to connect to a VM running in the same box via rdesktop port 3389  ( over the ssh connection/tunnel )
[01:44] <Coder7> ssh -p 8165 -D 8080 <user>@<vm-host-IP-address>
[01:45] <Coder7> if your rdesktop supports a socks proxy
[01:46] <Coder7> otherwise: ssh -p 8165 -L 8080:<vm-host-IP-address>:3389 <user>@<vm-host-IP-address>
[01:47] <Coder7> first one sets up a socks proxy on local port 8080. Second sets up a local tunneled port forward on 8080
[01:47] <pukeko> 2nd looks good to me...
[01:47] <pukeko> brb
[01:52] <pukeko> coder7: think i'll have to check my sshd_config  : )
[01:53] <Coder7> why?
[01:53] <Coder7> pukeko: if you can ssh into it, then your config should be fine
[01:53] <pukeko> may have some things turned off
[02:00] <pukeko> BBL
[02:39] <owen1> I use alternate cd (rescue mode) to install ubuntu. here is the error i get: 'An error occured while mounting the device you entered for your root file system(/dev/sda1) on /target. please check the syslog for more information'.  here is the last part of my syslog: http://pastebin.com/iAqPQRjG
[02:39] <owen1> here are some errors I see there: FATAL: Module ext2 not found. and this one: umount: can't umount /target: Invalid argument
[02:46] <Coder7> owen1: you used rescue mode to install? huh?
[02:49] <owen1> Coder7: i tried rugular cd but it just froze
[02:50] <Coder7> owen1: okay, but you still can't use rescue mode to install
[02:51] <Coder7> owen1: you use the alternate CD, that's fine, but you use it in install mode
[02:52] <Coder7> owen1: it has been a while, but iirc the alternate cd just runs the install without loading the Gnome desktop
[02:54] <Coder7> owen1: rescue mode will not work on a machine that has never had ubuntu successfully installed
[02:57] <owen1> Coder7: oh.
[02:58] <owen1> Coder7: every time i try regular install. the cd rom spinns for a minute but than stopps
[02:59] <Coder7> owen1: there are probably some boot options you can pass to get the disk to boot on your hardware
[02:59] <Coder7> owen1: what version of ubuntu
[02:59] <Coder7> ?
[02:59] <Coder7> owen1: and what kind of hardware?
[03:02] <owen1> Coder7: it's a an old sharp - http://pastebin.com/8A6urLcw
[03:05] <Coder7> owen1: and which version of ubuntu?
[03:18] <owen1> Coder7: your advice was great. i tried the regular install option and it works. i guess i had to be patient.
[03:18] <owen1> it's not the latest so i might need to slowly upgrade, or burn the latest cd.
[03:19] <owen1> i guess when it's done i should install xubuntu-desktop or whatever desktop environment i want.
[03:19] <owen1> i wonder if it comes with xorg.
[03:21] <Coder7> owen1: I was actually going to recommend you NOT run the 11 series
[03:21] <Coder7> I've had a horrible time with it... 10.04 LTS seems better supported
[03:21] <owen1> Coder7: ok. thanks!
[03:21] <Coder7> I just downgraded my cloud after a week of having absolutely no luck with 11.04
[03:26] <owen1> Coder7: xubuntu or ubuntu, server or desktop?
[03:35] <Coder7> owen1: for me? ubuntu server
[03:40] <owen1> Coder7: what issues did u have with 11.04
[06:53] <bkerensa> Hi All
[06:54] <bkerensa> :)
[07:18] <erichammond> bkerensa: 'lo
[07:21] <bkerensa> erichammond: Hi :)
[08:17] <KGB_plague> please PM me if theirs an APP to host a VPN server guys , my friend pings the game server that we play in 150ms , but I ping the game server 30ms , however my friend pings me 10ms from hes home to my home , so i would like to host a VPN server for him so he can be routed to me to join the game server with 40ms instead of 150ms ( 10ms to me + 30ms from me to game server = 40ms for him )
[08:20] <bkerensa> KGB_plague: Did you need some help? There are quite a few VPN solutions available depending on your needs and preference
[08:24] <KGB_plague> bkerensa, im in the UAE , i have VPN solutions for Europe , but the case is not for Europe ,  the case is for joining a game server to india , its a diffrent story , theirs no VPN solution to india , luckily the game server provider have made dedicated routing to my ip address and thats why i ping it 30ms from my home , sadly Dubai pings it 150 , im in Abu Dhabi , however Dubai pings Abu Dhabi 10ms , so the only solution is if i host a VPN serve
[08:24] <KGB_plague> r for my friend to connect through me to join the game server , i know how VPN works because i have purevpn to play WOW in European servers with 150ms instead of 350ms , this case is not the issue , the case i need is the question i mentioned above
[08:25] <nickmoeck_> KGB_plague: OpenVPN might be suitable for your needs
[08:25] <KGB_plague> i need a GUI app for Gnome Desktop ubuntu which i can make a use of in an easy environment , like running a dedicated server of Quake3 forinstantce or Counterstrike , so people can use the service easily by opening a VPN client connection from their windows and connect through me when i enter the settings from the GUI server VPN like user abc pass abc then < my ip >
[08:27] <KGB_plague> nickmoeck_, i have tried Teamviewer VPN GUI which is built in the software sadly it uses a VPN server from Teamviewer then to me instead of me being the server for the client
[08:29] <nickmoeck_> KGB_plague: OpenVPN is my recommendation.  It's secure, reliable, and pretty easy to set up. Unfortunately, I don't think there's actually a GUI for it - I know I've never used a GUI for it.
[08:30] <bkerensa> KGB_plague: I concur with nickmoeck_'s suggestion OpenVPN is a good choice.
[08:30] <KGB_plague> nickmoeck_, if i do a VPN server with OPEN VPN software , will it let my friend connect to OPEN VPN server < IP > then from their to my < server > ? that adds extra ping dont u think?
[08:31] <bkerensa> KGB_plague: Yeah the way your explaining things it would seem VPN would potentially add latency to the equation unless I'm misreading
[08:31] <KGB_plague> sorry coz i used teamviewer and it have put my homes down in understanding how the system works
[08:31] <KGB_plague> hopes*
[08:32] <KGB_plague> i mean when i host OPENvpn server , my computer must connect to the OPENVPN corporation  server? and when clients like my friend trying to connect through me , they have to bypass through OPENvpn corporation server then to my openVPN server?
[08:33] <nickmoeck_> KGB_plague: OpenVPN is a VPN program that you run on a computer that you own/operate. You install OpenVPN, and they install OpenVPN, and they connect from their computer directly to yours
[08:33] <KGB_plague> <3
[08:33] <bkerensa> KGB_plague: OpenVPN is a application which you run and then a client connects via the VPN
[08:33] <nickmoeck_> There's no central server that they have to go through like with Teamviewer
[08:33] <bkerensa> yep
[08:34] <KGB_plague> nickmoeck_, thanks , i got brainwashed abit from my phobia and stressing nerves when trying softwares that all failed to correspond my idealogy which is logical as you mentioned thankyou =)
[08:35] <bkerensa> KGB_plague: I honestly thing you will add more latency to the equation unless you reduce hops and latency somehow by using the VPN? My experience has been that bandwidth is pretty low quality in India so it could just worsen the latency you are already encountering
[08:36] <KGB_plague> il test it out =) and Thanks alot , btw i am from UAE and from time to time ,i have small tasks for my HUBANME? community theirs no site right now , HUBANME? means HUB-Asia)_N_(MiddleEast , if your interested please add me , the tasks are some programming / game scanners etc..
[08:38] <KGB_plague> bkerensa,  i ping india game server 30ms from my home im on fibreoptics 50MB line , my friend is on Fibreoptics 16mb and hes a city beside Abu Dhabi which he ping me 10ms , however my friend pings india server 150ms , so if he pings me 10ms he goes throguh me then gets my 30ms that i ping to that server which is 10 + 30 = 40ms
[08:39] <bkerensa> KGB_plague: In that case VPN could/should reduce latency for you
[08:39] <KGB_plague> u get my point , i am paying 200$ a month for dedicated routing from the game server GSP to my ip
[08:39] <bkerensa> yeah
[08:40] <KGB_plague> and whenever my ip changes i just sms them my new ip and they update it for me=)
[08:40] <KGB_plague> thanks bkerensa
[08:40] <bkerensa> KGB_plague: No problem
[08:41] <bkerensa> Good night all

[09:11] <proliant> I speack english also I need support about linux ubuntu server edition 8.04 lts I install the OS now I have the command line at the start-up... The question is which is the command for install a graphic user interface ?????  for example gnome
[09:12] <Corey> That's not really a part of Ubuntu server; ask in #ubuntu
[09:12] <IdleOne> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[09:12] <IdleOne> Corey: he is banned in #ubuntu
[09:14] <IdleOne> for ban evasion no less
[09:14] <Corey> IdleOne: Ban status in other channels doesn't change the purpose of this one. :-)
[09:15] <IdleOne> Corey: true
[09:15] <IdleOne> so now that he has the command to install a GUI he should be all set and not have any other questions in here

[13:05] <johndoe273> hmmm
[13:05] <johndoe273> any firewall running somewhere
[13:05] <johndoe273> on the machine or on the lan?
[13:06] <bugbrains> not in my server
[13:06] <bugbrains> lan may be i am not sure
[13:07] <bugbrains> but before i installed packages using apt-get from server
[13:07] <bugbrains> but it was karmic
[13:07] <johndoe273> ok
[13:07] <bugbrains> after upgrading to lucid i cant install any..
[13:08] <johndoe273> do you have iptables running on your server?
[13:08] <bugbrains> yes
[13:08] <johndoe273> did alleady disable it for a check?
[13:08] <bugbrains> can you tell me how
[13:09] <johndoe273> #/etc/init.d/iptables stop
[13:10] <bugbrains> done
[13:10] <johndoe273> and now aptitude update
[13:11] <bugbrains> sudo: /etc/init.d/iptables: command not found

[16:13] <args[0]> Hi, I have a VPS server running ubuntu 10.04, having some problems with PHP.. i installed it but doesnt seem to run from /var/www, no idea why, hope somoneone can help, thanks!
[16:13] <dyingprism> is there a website other than browsershots.org that i can use to quickly check if my site is working externally?
[16:18] <StevenR> args[0]: what did you install?
[16:20] <args[0]> StevenR: LAMP server
[16:20] <args[0]> LAMP*
[16:27] <ChmEarl> args[0], pastebin grep -ir php /etc/apache2/*
[16:29] <args[0]> ChmEarl: http://pastebin.com/XPS9dDbd
[16:30] <ChmEarl> args[0], you have no default site configured here: /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
[16:32] <ChmEarl> args[0], you have php turned on for ssl and https
[16:33] <args[0]> ChmEarl: actually it just worked, created a test.php file and it did output the phpinfo()
[16:33] <args[0]> what do you mean by default site? isn't var/www the default location?
[16:33] <oCean> args[0]: don't crosspost in multiple channels
[16:34] <args[0]> oCean: no one answered here at first
[16:36] <oCean> you took a whole of 4 minutes to wait for an answer.
[16:36] <oCean> don't crosspost, it's simple
[16:40] <args[0]> Maybe minding your own business is simpler for both you and me
[17:08] <args[0]> I'd like to stream my own music from my VPS, any software recommendations? thanks
[17:30] <Jare> args[0]: ampache
[17:30] <StevenR> args[0]: I use MPD
[17:31] <args[0]> Jare: does ampache play FLAC?
[17:31] <args[0]> MPD does
[17:32] <bkerensa> args[0]: Did you get your apache issue sorted?
[17:32] <args[0]> bkerensa: yes, I did thanks for asking
[17:33] <bkerensa> Excellent :)
[17:34] <args[0]> StevenR: does MPD work fully from CLI?
[17:34] <args[0]> StevenR: I just have ubuntu server cli installed on my vps
[17:34] <StevenR> args[0]: I think there are CLI control programs, though you can run the control program on your desktop
[17:35] <args[0]> StevenR: what is a good control program for MPD?
[17:35] <StevenR> args[0]: I use GMPC
[17:35] <StevenR> and vlc to listen to the http stream on my laptop
[17:36] <args[0]> StevenR: thank you
[17:41] <Jare> args[0]: yes it does and it can do realtime transcoding too. The web-ui flashplayer supports only mp3 though..
[17:42] <args[0]> I have a 256MB RAM VPS, can it handle it? Jare StevenR
[17:45] <StevenR> you'll have to try it :) (it's really quite simple to set up).... make sure you look at how much bandwidth you're using (I only use it over LAN, so I haven't looked to closely at how much BW is used)
[17:45] <Jare> dunno. Why not just try it? It's only a package of PHP scripts
[17:45] <qman__> if it's all php, then it will
[17:45] <qman__> because by default PHP only has 16MB to work with
[17:46] <args[0]> qman__: oh ok, thanks for your input
[17:46] <args[0]> im already over 70% of RAM, will try it out
[17:47] <StevenR> args[0]: I don't think mpd is php
[17:48] <qman__> yeah, it probably isn't
[17:48] <qman__> wasn't following the whole conversation
[17:48] <Jare> well i was talking about Ampache, mpd is a totally different thing
[17:49] <qman__> still, decoding music isn't exactly a memory heavy operation
[17:55] <args[0]> qman__: but I will be working with FLAC files which are huge and have high bitrates
[17:56] <qman__> yes, but it doesn't load the whole file into memory to decode
[17:57] <qman__> it buffers it
[18:09] <args[0]> StevenR: qman__: Jare: can I use just mpd and grab stream with VLC?
[18:09] <StevenR> you'll need a control application too
[18:10] <args[0]> StevenR: to control the stream..
[18:10] <StevenR> to control playback, like pausing, etc.
[18:10] <StevenR> changing track
[18:10] <args[0]> FLAC files will be saved on server but can be seen using the control to choose what to play on buffer, is that it?
[18:10] <yann_> Hello! I've got a server whose clock appears to be "stuck", it litteraly goes from 19h08m36s to 19h08m42s and then back to 19h08m36s in some sort of eternal loop (turned ntp off to make sure that wasnt making it crazy)  http://pastealacon.com/28212
[18:11] <yann_> any idea warmly welcome, this won't work too well with samba&ad integration :(
[18:11] <RoyK> yann_: a VM?
[18:11] <yann_> not even
[18:12] <RoyK> is ntp installed and setup correctly?
[18:12] <yann_> had ntpd yeah, actually noticed the error when nagios suddenly notived me of a 1300sec clock drift...
[18:13] <RoyK> which check did you use for that?
[18:13] <yann_> uh, can't remember
[18:14] <yann_> but even an inappropriate check won t make the clock go backwards will it... :/
[18:14] <JanC> sounds like multiple things trying to set the time?
[18:14] <RoyK> no, just curious
[18:14] <yann_> mmh restarted the box now it's stuck, great
[18:14] <yann_> RoyK, give me 2secs I ll find out
[18:14] <RoyK> yann_: what does hwclock have to say?
[18:16] <yann_> check_ntp_time
[18:16] <RoyK> k
[18:16] <RoyK> thanks
[18:16] <RoyK> didn't know that one
[18:16]  * RoyK reconfigures Icinga
[18:17] <yann_> RoyK, > I'm afraid we'll have to guess blind now :( machine down, won't come up again, and got no ilom on this, so will have to wait for tomorrow and someone nice enough to press the button :(
[18:18] <RoyK> what happened?
[18:19] <yann_> stupid windowsy reflex I guess, tried to reboot it to see if that would fix it :/
[18:20] <yann_> I ll keep that as a proof that usually in unix world, rebooting actually makes things worse
[18:21] <RoyK> usually it doesn't
[18:21] <RoyK> if the box didn't come up, then it smells to me like hardware failure
[18:21] <RoyK> at least if you didn't change anything
[18:21] <RoyK>  20:21:53 up 573 days,  3:38,  1 user,  load average: 0.09, 0.11, 0.04
[18:22] <skx> hey, are there any decent irc services (anope, atheme...) available in the repositories or from a trusted ppa for maverick and up? atheme was available for lucid but now it's gone
[18:23] <yann_> oh well at least it'll make a point to my argument that boxes over 10 years should be replaced...
[18:23] <RoyK> heh
[18:23] <yann_> although this one might not be that old :)
[18:23] <RoyK> yeah
[18:24] <RoyK> we had an old SPARC machine from 1999 or so, dual 360MHz CPUs
[18:24] <RoyK> when it eventually died after a power failure, we were quite happy to replace it :)
[18:24] <yann_> got servers from 2001 with win2k powering our active directory :/
[18:26] <RoyK> hehe
[18:26] <qman__> yeah, something like that, I'd definitely say hardware failure
[18:27] <qman__> clocks don't just do that for no reason
[18:28] <qman__> might be some weird hardware bug too
[18:28] <qman__> time overflow
[18:33] <RoyK> huh?
[18:33] <RoyK> it's not 2037 yet
[19:33] <dominicdinada> quick question, where in mysql is the settings to allow remote hosts to access the server.... i have a laptop and i had it set to the old laptop IP but since then my laptop ip has changed and i am unable to login
[19:38] <RoyK> bind-address in /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[19:38] <RoyK> and then you need to grant blah to blah@somehost identified by 'password';
[19:39] <RoyK> for a developer/admin, grant all to blah...
[19:39] <RoyK> that is, for a developer, grant all... for an admin grant all to user@somehost identified by 'password' with grant option;
[19:44] <dominicdinada> RoyK:  All my confs are gone
[19:45] <dominicdinada> i cant login from any of the machines, this is a headless server :/
[19:50] <RoyK> dominicdinada: erm - what happened?
[19:54] <dominicdinada> RoyK: nothing really
[19:54] <dominicdinada> just havent logged in in along time hmm
[20:05] <dominicdinada> RoyK: it must be to do with phpmyadmin
[20:23] <draik> Hello everyone. I installed apache and php on my desktop so I can test something, but now want to remove it. I went through the process of removing and purging the apache2, apache2.2-common libapache2-mod-php5 packages, but I still have the configs.
[20:23] <draik> How do I completely remove apache2 and PHP?
[20:23] <RoyK> dominicdinada: phpmyadmin doesn't have rights to touch what's under /etc/mysql
[20:23] <RoyK> draik: the usual way is apt-get remove --purge
[20:24] <RoyK> draven: but it may leave some config files behind - those won't hurt much, though, and you can just delete them manually
[20:24] <draik> RoyK: I did that with apt-get and aptitude. Says it is removed, but configs are still lingering.
[20:24] <RoyK> they probably won't fill up your disk :P
[20:24] <draik> Oh, OK. I will just remove them
[20:25] <draik> I didn't want to brick the desktop in removing a crucial library or something of the sort.
[20:25] <RoyK> draik: check if you have packages like mysql-common installed
[20:25] <RoyK> -common packages may contain those config files
[20:27] <dominicdinada> RoyK: right but i have no access to phpmyadmin
[20:27]  * RoyK has no idea

[20:33] <lifeless> SpamapS: I think that that is unintentional :P
[20:38] <draik> Any issue with nuking /etc/apache2 and /etc/php5 ?
[20:39] <ikonia> yes
[20:39] <ikonia> draik: they are important
[20:40] <draik> This is on my desktop and I'm not using them. It was just to test something.
[20:40] <ikonia> draik: why don't you just remove the packages
[20:40] <draik> I did
[20:42] <Daviey> draik: try purging
[20:42] <draik> Did that, too
[20:42] <draik> apt-get and aptitude
[20:42] <nigelb> then nuke away (after taking a backup of course)
[20:43] <Daviey> draik: apt-get remove --purge apache2 (or variant) )should remove the confs.
[20:43] <draik> Daviey: Keyword there is "should"
[20:43] <draik> But it didn't :(
[20:44] <draik> I also just removed apache2 from rc.d
[20:44] <draik> update-rc.d -f apache2 remove
[20:44] <nigelb> wait, did you install those with apt-get ?
[20:44] <draik> Yes
[20:44] <Daviey> draik: If it didn't, then it's a bug. :)
[21:20] <lifeless> SpamapS: ping
[21:22] <lifeless> SpamapS: the storage-directory param to lxc probably wants a sane-default.
[21:22] <lifeless> SpamapS: (or to be listed in optional)
