=== med is now known as med_out [00:15] This is a config for dovecot, in the example at http://pastebin.com/rWJSSuXk in the auth default{user = root} does this user really need to be root? Why not the virtual_mail user? [00:25] jdevel: I dont think it requires root [00:26] jdevel, what kind of example is that? looks very old [00:28] I found it on the web [00:28] I'm sure it is old [00:29] well, if you need root or not all depends on how you have the sql setup [00:29] does it need root to access the sql server? [00:29] it shouldn't, I have all the postfix virtual user/domain data in a database with it's own user [00:29] and that user is used to do the authentication [00:29] yes, but how does it access it? socket? tcp? ... [00:30] I believe it's using a socket [00:31] so it's a postfix, dovecot, saslauthd, mysql setup [00:31] using mysql to handle the virtual users [00:35] just make it whatever you want, like, dovecot [00:39] anyone know a good open relay test? [00:39] something fast [00:40] other than telnet [00:44] jdevel: as in mailserver open relay? [00:45] there's one from abuse.com iirc [00:45] er.. abuse.net [00:45] http://www.abuse.net/relay.html (first Google result for "open relay test") [00:45] that's the one %) [01:08] adam_g: dealing with tired 4 year old whats up? === Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-zzz [01:39] argh, stupid forked-daapd... doesn't respond to sigterm. [01:56] offtopic, but I have a strange behaviour -- wine1.2 is installed (from lucid-updates), but dpkg -L says that package doesn't contain wineprefixcreate. WTF. [01:58] and yet packages.ubuntu.com lists it in wine1.0 and wine1.2's Contents files for i386 lucid [01:58] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=wineprefixcreate&mode=exactfilename&suite=lucid&arch=i386 [02:02] It's in lucid's and not lucid-update's, according to packages.ubuntu.com. [02:02] * rww pages through changelogs [02:03] ah. http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Wineprefixcreate says it's deprecated [02:15] rww: thanks. [02:15] rww: that's gonna screw with me because I'm create a partial wine skeleton, and I'm using wineprefixcreate to finish populating .wine with default values [02:16] Is there another way in e.g. /etc/skel to set up wine registry and drive letter mappings, without having to have an entire .wine in /etc/skel? [02:17] Having the whole .wine in there is problematic because it e.g. includes user-specific /home/fred paths [02:21] Hmm, that page mentions using wineboot instead; I'll play with that [02:51] Heeeeeello gents. [02:52] I just installed a mail server via tasksel. [02:52] I was able to send a message to my gmail, which was weird enough [02:52] But then when I replied, I couldn't figure out how to receive my mail on the server. [02:53] braxton, Replying from gmail to your server? [02:53] Yeah. [02:53] I was a bit confused during the setup in tasksel. [02:53] braxton, Do you have you own domain with a MX records? [02:54] It asked me which type of mail server I wanted, or the configuration, that is, and I chose the second from the top--Internet. [02:54] No, I don't. I just used my IP address to reply. [02:54] (never use tasksel... I only install Zimbra ... So I'm just trying to help you out with the best of my knowledge) [02:55] braxton, that's probably the reason why ... when a email server is trying to "route" the email, it will look at the DNS to see if your domain have a MX records (which points to the mail server for your domain) [02:56] I don't have a domain for the computer I used. [02:56] Er... [02:57] So, you're saying I can't just send an email to me@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx? [02:58] OH! [02:58] I think I know why! [02:58] braxton, Not using gmail, since I ***THINK** it will try to resolve the MX record in the DNS. And if it's a local server (home), I guess port 25 might be blocked [02:58] I didn't set up the port forwarding on my router and modem so that it would get to my computer. [02:58] braxton, indeed, that's something to tet [02:58] I'm such a dunce. That's why it could get out but not back in. [02:58] .. test.. [02:59] braxton, try it.. but I doubt ;) [02:59] I think it might work, I can be hopeful :D [02:59] braxton, but again, I'm no expert [02:59] Port 25, you say? [03:00] The obvious first question is: have you set up a mail server before? [03:00] SMTP: Port 25 - POP3 - Port 110 (if I remember correctly) [03:00] Then: have you read what the Ubuntu Server Guide has to say about doing so? [03:00] Delerium_: yes, MTAs will speak to one another using SMTP on port 25/tcp by default. [03:01] twb: and AFAIK, you need a MX record in a DNS ? If not, you can't only "reply" to a IP Adress on which a SMTP is listening!? [03:04] It sort of worked, but not really. [03:04] This time, my server gave me an error code. [03:04] Which is? [03:04] The error that the other server returned was: 501 501 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax (state 14). [03:13] So... [03:13] You need an MX RR, yes. [03:13] Is it even possible to run a little mailserver from a home computer without a fqdn? [03:13] braxton: yes, but unless you own a domain, nobody will send it any email [03:14] I'm just doing it as an experiment. [03:14] I'd still like to know how, if at all, I can send an e-mail to it. [03:14] Could you do it with dyndns? [03:15] Oh, well, yeah. [03:15] I do have that set up already. [03:16] Okay, at DynDNS, there's an option that says, [03:16] "I have mail server with another name and would like to add MX hostname..." [03:16] Should I select that and what does it mean? [03:17] Try without that option, with your dyndns. [03:17] MMmmkay. [03:17] You might as well, before enabling that option. [03:19] Okay, so I sent it to the DynDNS address I already set up for web hosting. [03:19] You might as well ensure you can manually speak SMTP to it from the outside world before you bother with DNS [03:19] Great, that failed. [03:19] The error that the other server returned was: 554 554 5.7.1 : Relay access denied (state 14). [03:20] Okay, how should I go about doing that, twb? [03:20] braxton: relay means you asked it to deliver mail for a domain for which it is not responsible [03:20] What? [03:20] e.g. connecting to gmail and saying "hi, please accept this message for fred@example.com and send it on to him" [03:20] Sorry if I'm bothering you guys. [03:21] Oh. [03:21] Doing so would be an "open relay", which is not done these days because it's carte blanche for spammers. [03:21] So maybe that option should be selected? [03:21] braxton: mailservers are hard. I spent a lot of hours scratching my head when I first started rolling my own ;) [03:21] rww: hear, hear [03:21] Quite. [03:22] Now that you explain that error, twb, I think that option does make more sense now. [03:22] I just don't know what to put there. [03:22] What option? [03:22] It says, "I have mail server with another name and would like to add MX hostname..." [03:22] And then below that it says, "Use this as my primary relay..." [03:23] But I don't know what an MX hostname is. [03:25] braxton: suppose you want to send mail to fred@example.net. You do this by looking up the DNS MX RR(s) for "example.net" -- dig -t MX example.net +short [03:25] braxton: that tells you what host to connect to to send it mail [03:26] Okay. [03:26] So what should I put in that field? [03:26] rww: re wineprefixcreate vs. wineboot -- worked out how to use the latter, it's working better than before. Thanks for your input. [03:26] welcome [03:27] braxton: well, you can have a look at my MXs -- prisonpc.com and cyber.com.au [03:27] twb: I don't have an MX hostname, do I? :c [03:28] I don't know what "MX hostname" means [03:28] Neither do I. [03:28] It's asking for one, though. [03:29] I can tell you about DNS zones, but I don't know what random DNS web frontends want [03:29] presumably it means the hostname to put in the MX record [03:29] Probably [03:30] I'm really sorry for my ignorance, and I appreciate your help. [03:30] You might make it the same as your http server. [03:30] So what, just put in the xxx.dyndns.org address in there? [03:30] but yeah, I'm limited to what I know from experience with Real DNS™, not dynamic DNS :\ [03:30] As rww said, setting up your own MTA is hard work. [03:30] braxton: I'd probably try that, yes [03:30] rww: eh, dynamic DNS is just short TTLs [03:30] rww: dyndns.org OTOH have a bunch of "value adding" on top of that. [03:34] I don't think it's going to let me do this. I'm just disappointed now. [03:35] I use a dyndns that's .mooo.com [03:35] Or rather, a dyndns competitor. [03:37] How do i create a hard link to this directory /usr/share/nginx/www/site/userfiles from this directory /usr/share/nginx/www/site2/ So when the website script on site2 want to create files in dir /userfiles it will be done in /usr/share/nginx/www/site/userfiles [03:38] Isn't that done using ln or something? [03:38] Bernhard: you cannot hard-link directories. [03:39] Bernhard: well, technically, some filesystems allow you to do so, but it's still super bad juju [03:39] oke.. or symlink ? [03:42] cd /usr/share/nginx/www/site2/, then ln -s ../site/userfiles [03:42] I don't know whether this will actually achieve the end result you want, as I only use apache and it gets grumpy about symlinks at times, but that's how to do it ;) [03:49] should that newly created symlink have the name of the directory it orginally to go to ? === lucy is now known as Guest4681 [03:58] hey all, seemingly random question: I have an encrypted home directory on my 11.04 server, when I logout, then log back in, I am getting an error regarding .gvfs [03:59] apparently this is a problem that's been around for a while, someone suggested putting this into .logout: /bin/fusermount -zu "$HOME/.gvfs" 1>/dev/null 2>&1 || true [04:00] is there perhaps a better method? I have also heard that (because I'm running GDM) I can put it into /etc/gd/PostSession/Default [04:01] Daviey: when you wake up -- a bit more done, missing pretty much just the postinst, on my ~/+junk/cobbler-enroll2 [04:02] Daviey: now I will hit the bed... back in 7 hours [06:02] I have to upgrade Apache and OpenSSH to versions ahead of the ones that come through apt-get in 8.04 - what's the easiest path there (i.e. the one that least likely involves me re-setting up the whole server from scratch while everyone complains about the services being down)? Upgrade the distro altogether, compile from source, add a repo from a more recent distro? [06:16] ewj: Easiest is to see if the versions you need are already in hardy-backports -- if they are, use that repo and install the updated packages. === lucy is now known as Guest21798 [06:46] jmarsden: hmm, no, backports doesn't seem to have them, unfortunately [06:46] Then you need to decide which is lower risk for you: (a) upgrade the server to a new distro or (b) backport them yourself. [06:47] what's involved in a backport? [06:47] I realize that by asking that, it probably proves that it'll be too tough for me :) [06:48] ewj grab source package, unpack, change version, debuild, see what broke if anything (may new newer versions of other related packages, for instance), fix those things, retest... usual packaging stuff. [06:48] yeah, ok [06:48] if you've never created a package, that's a high risk task. [06:48] how risky is it to upgrade the distribution altogether? [06:49] So... back up the server and verify the backups, then do the upgrade. How risky that is depends on what else the server does and how much its setup was customized in "interesting" ways in the past... [06:49] I've done it on desktop ubuntu before without much trouble, but this is a remote box that I have to ssh into, which makes it trickier [06:50] ewj: If your provider offers remote console stuff, and ideally a "boot rescue distribution" capability, it's safe enough. [06:51] sadly, there's no provider, it's a box sitting in someone's office on the other side of the country :( [06:51] Then best you can do is do it when the other person is physically present at the box, in case you need someone to push buttons/tell you what is on the screen/etc. [06:52] this damn box pretty much just serves up svn, I'm thinking it might be less trouble to yank that stuff off of it and set up a fresh svn server in the cloud, switch dns when it's working [06:52] Replacing it with something more manageable sounds a good idea to me. If you need a cheap virtual private server, look at linode.com or similar offerings... [06:53] But if it only servs up svn, why does it need ultra new ssh and apache??? [06:53] yeah, the company has most of their servers running on a service like that, it'd probably be best to bring it all in line [06:53] eh, typical security audit stuff [06:54] 8.04 server is still supported, shouldn't be any known security issues in ssh or apache on it... [06:54] someone in security ran a scan of the public ip, found old versions of apache/ssh [06:54] I know, that's what I thought, too [06:54] But did they find *vulnerabilities* in it? That's the question. [06:55] No, they found version numbers that suggest vulnerabilities, I think [06:55] But try explaining the difference to a scanbot... :) [06:56] Then you can just look up the possible vulbnerabilities, point them to the updates in the changelogs for those packages where the fixes were added... [06:56] there's some stuff in there that's just DOS-related that actually doesn't appear to be patched in Hardy, at least as far as I could tell, too === smb` is now known as smb [06:57] OK. Anyway... your company politics, not mine :) [06:59] yeah, you know how it goes sometimes...the overlord in this case is a biggish one, and I'm several steps removed (I'm just a consultant that would have been writing normal code if the company didn't have a hands-on-deck shortage at the moment), so I've gotta go with what they're asking for... [06:59] I'll figure it out one way or another, thanks for the advice :) [07:01] ewj: You're welcome. [07:09] hggdh: you rock! :) [07:48] Daviey, Do you think we get the MIR for ipxe sorted before feature freeze... Ok, I admit this is a bit of a put salt into open wound question and the we is rather a you of sorts... === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler [09:09] hello. it appears that when my server crashed grub just sat there at the menu. i edited grub.cfg and changed the -1 to 10 for recordfail. is this the right way to prevent it from just not booting if it crashes or loses power? === b0nghittr is now known as b0nghitter [09:51] New bug: #820101 in lm-sensors (main) "package libsensors3 1:2.10.8-2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/820101 === Ursinha-zzz is now known as Ursinha [10:29] bom dia [10:48] Ursinha: o/ [10:48] Daviey: morning, sir [10:49] just about.. almost afternoon ma'am.

[12:17] mornings, mostly good, to all [12:21] Daviey: dear sir, comments? [12:23] hggdh: looked good so far! [12:23] hggdh: I'm not quite sure how post-install works in d-i [12:23] Daviey got knighted? [12:24] jpds: Yes.. i tend not to use it in public tho. [12:24] hggdh: we don't have a /target i hope.. and that might be a requirement of post-install maintainer scripts. [12:24] Daviey: IDK either, docs sucks to a sublime level on that. But it would make sense [12:24] yeah [12:25] but it has to be driven from something like that, somewhere [12:27] Daviey: the other point of doubt is on ./debian/control, the udeb package, the XB-Installer-Menu-Item [12:27] hggdh: yeah.. i just don't think it can be configured. [12:27] as in dpkg --configure [12:27] aye [12:27] * hggdh had forgotten dpkg --configure [12:31] Daviey: although --configure would drive the same questions we have to ask on install [12:33] hggdh: Yeah, my knowledge of udebs isn't as strong as i need it [12:33] there is also a finish-install [12:33] hggdh: yeah.. might need to block on Colin returning [12:34] heh [12:34] Daviey: status.qa is back [12:34] \o/ [12:35] \o/ [12:35] SpamapS: hey, I see you filed a lot of runlevel1 bugs, what's the importance of them? [12:39] Daviey: http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/internals/ch03.html at 3.1 [12:40] hggdh: yeah, not helpful enough :( [12:47] what does the "Source" command do? [12:50] Dori922: 'source' ? It is usually used for loading enviromental variables from a file [12:51] Daviey: thanks bro :D [12:51] such as source ~/.bash_rc (PRO TIP.. people tend to use "." for source) [12:51] Wow, Dori922, are you my long lost brother i've been searching for all these years? [12:52] Daviey: i dont know.. am i? ;D [12:52] Daviey: dpkg --configure will not matter for a udeb, udebs are not installed on running systems [12:53] hggdh: top banana, that was my hope - but i didn't know [12:53] I did think it would require a /target tho === JoeGazz84_ is now known as JoeGazz84 [12:59] /target, if I understand it correctly, will only be available when the base system is installed -- and I know there are udebs that process earlier, like euca (with a postinst and a finish-install scripts === otubo[AFK] is now known as otubo [13:19] I was in yesterday asking how to setup a file server. I received a lot of help in here, but with everything I tried on my own, I didn't accomplish anything. I tried setting up an FTP server using GADMIN-ProFTPD, and again just wasted a lot of time and got nowhere. Can someone attempt to help my sorry ass? [13:22] What I am trying to do is this, I want to be able to setup a folder with files, and have family to be able to log in and download from me. [13:22] heh? [13:22] oh, so you dumped the gallery2 idea [13:22] patdk-wk, you were helping me yesterday [13:23] dunno what gadmin-proftpd is at all [13:23] patdk-wk, yes, I got way too confused [13:23] but normal proftpd works easily enough [13:23] patdk-wk, This is all new too me [13:24] personally, using ftp over the internet isn't so easy, cause of nat [13:24] So I shouldn't be using the GADMIN-ProFTPD? [13:25] oh, it's a gui configuration tool for proftpd [13:25] dunno anything about it [13:25] Yes, I need a GUI [13:26] I tried going to youtube and finding videos to help... That didn't help either. [13:27] And you said with gallery2, they would be able to download, or just view the files? [13:28] both really [13:28] if you configure mime types correctly [13:28] <_ruben> what's the difference between downloading and viewing images ? :P [13:28] videos [13:29] If they wanted to put them on DVD [13:29] no one said images :) [13:31] I know it would be a pain in the ass for you to give me a step by step. Is there any tutorials that can walk me though? [13:33] <_ruben> didnt know gallery2 also did video, only used it for images myself :) [13:35] gallery2 does anything [13:35] text files, pics, videos, binary, ... [13:36] it doesn't care what you upload to it at all, it just has special cases for pics, and alittle for video [13:36] <_ruben> ah [13:37] How did you guys learn this stuff? [13:37] I took the pain in the ass method :) [13:37] when I want to learn something, I want to learn it from the ground up [13:38] <_ruben> try, fail, read, try again, fail again, read more, ...., try again, succeed + remember [13:38] That's what I want to do, but I can't find where to get started [13:38] there is lots of info on gallery2's website on it [13:39] should be enough to get it setup and working [13:39] the issue is, 3 layers of other stuff under it [13:39] getting apache and php setup [13:40] so if you don't want to just hope it works [13:40] patdk-wk, Does php install with apache, or by itself? [13:40] you would have to learn about apache and php also [13:40] itself [13:40] ah, ok [13:40] I never installed that [13:40] it should autoinstall if you installed gallery2 [13:41] Ok, I did install gallery2 [13:41] I have never installed gallery2 using ubuntu though [13:41] I guess I have a lot of reading to do [13:41] most likely you only have a few small issues to fix [13:42] the issue is knowing what those issues are :) [13:42] LOL :) [13:42] patdk-wk, thanks again... Off I go [13:46] New bug: #821474 in openldap (main) "package slapd 2.4.23-6ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: le sous-processus script post-installation installé a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/821474 === med_out is now known as medberry [14:08] lifeless: did you ever try out the lxc package from ubuntu-virt ppa? (i'm about to ask Daviey to push to the archive) [14:09] eh, works over here... [14:09] Daviey: http://people.canonical.com/~serge/lxc_0.7.4.2-3ubuntu6.debdiff if that looks ok, do you mind pushing? [14:25] hallyn: looking === medberry is now known as med_out [14:34] hallyn: What was the deal with switching out to /run ? [14:34] I know you nacked that the other day, but wondered why? [14:35] hallyn: do you reall want to rm -rf /var/run ? [14:48] Daviey: I nacked it bc switching to /run will be less backward compatible [14:48] Daviey: on a regular system, /var/run is tmpfs. So yeah, there is nothing under /var/run that normally survives reboot. [14:48] no nreason not to rm -rf [14:49] If we get real reboot support next week, then (a) we can mount tmpfs on /var/run and (b) we can get rid of the rm -rf [14:49] this is all a side effect of having to allow the host to see the guest's utmp :( [14:52] hallyn: ok [15:02] hallyn: iirc /var/run is tmpfs by default at least on lucid [15:03] Daviey: hey...you planning on going to the release sprint? [15:03] robbiew: yah [15:03] cool...I'll be there, but I'm no help to the actual release any more [15:03] :P [15:03] RoyK: Yes, but in oneiric /var/run has been replaced by /run [15:04] robbiew: Ah, if you are going.. i don't need to. :D [15:04] RoyK: yup [15:04] RoyK: but on containers, we disable that mount === otubo is now known as otubo[AFK] [15:05] Daviey: that works too...given you're in the same TZ...your call [15:07] how can i output the exact command that was used to start a process using "ps"? I see "python", but would like to see "python myscript.py"-- the one that top shows. [15:10] pythonirc1012: well you can look at /proc/$$/cmdline (words are separated by \0) [15:23] WTF? I 'apt-get remove qemu-kvm qemu-common kvm-pxe', and apt decides that means it has to install virtualbox? [15:25] pythonirc1012: I use ps aux and it shows pretty complete info [15:26] especially with auxw :) [15:35] Ursinha: Medium.. should have set that when I created them. [15:35] SpamapS: should we consider those confirmed already? [15:45] Ursinha: I'd like to see somebody confirm them other than myself.. sanity checks and all. :) === kentb is now known as kentb-early-lunc [16:02] mdeslaur: question on vm-new. Is there a reason you use the full iso rather than the mini.iso from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/$release/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso ? (I assume so, i.e. better for security team processes) [16:03] hallyn: so it reproduces most users installations, and also because I want a full desktop [16:04] I never actually managed to get the mini.iso working btw, but that's unrelated === med_out is now known as medberry [16:05] mdeslaur: ok. It does work for me (http://s3hh.wordpress.com/2011/08/05/quick-vm-installations/) but if it's not appropriate for vm-tools that's ok :) [16:06] mdeslaur: though perhaps I'll hack up vm-new-mini [16:07] hallyn: what do you typically install with that? I have no objections to adding a -t mini to vm-new [16:08] mdeslaur: my goal with thatusually is just to have something to run tests on. [16:09] i.e. i don't much care so long as it's uptodate and boots [16:09] hallyn: well, add it as -t mini, and I'll merge it in [16:10] mdeslaur: thx. will do. [16:10] hallyn: cool, thanks [16:11] hallyn: I'd add it to my todo list, but I still have "Update main laptop to gutsy" on my todo list, so it may take a while :) [16:23] is there an easy way to say "I accept" to the sun jdk install? [16:24] my script blocks because of that [16:29] SpamapS: fair enough :) [16:30] RoAkSoAx: ping [16:31] nigelb: I haven't looked, but I imagine it's deliberately not programmatic :P [16:33] rww: hah. *dislike* [16:33] :) [16:37] nigelb: I thought you could preseed that [16:37] Daviey: hm, how? create an AMI with it? [16:38] nigelb: sun-java6-bin shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 boolean true [16:38] sun-java6-jre shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 boolean true [16:38] bah, tab fail [16:38] preseed those values and you won't be prompted to accept. [16:39] * nigelb tries [16:40] echo "sun-java6-jre shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 boolean true" | debconf-set-selections ; apt-get install sun-jd*-etc [16:40] nigelb: ^^ [16:41] Daviey: Gosh, that's awesome :) [16:41] Thank you! [16:42] good stuff, hope it work [16:42] s === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ [16:44] guys i'm having an issue that i can't seem to pinpoint. I'm running znc on my server. the server has an uptime of Running for 1w 4d 23h 25m 13s right now, but my znc/clients seems to drop off line, randomly. I didn't see anything in /var/log that would lead me to anything i could troubleshoot. has any one seen this or have any idea what i could do to fix it? [16:44] Ursinha: Thanks. [16:44] Is there an automatic way to grep on ps aux and kill all processes that match a certain pattern? [16:45] xargs [16:45] pythonirc1012: you might want to look at pgrep and pkill [16:47] is it something you want to do all the time pythonirc1012? [16:48]
