guaany ideas on a good way to quickly set up method of file transfer for a single client? i'm thinking of stunnel+nfs or maybe rsync+rssh00:09
pmatulisgua: scp?  maybe provide some context00:31
guarather than relying on usb sticks, i'm hoping to figure out a good way to temporarily share files on a public network/wifi that's encrypted somehow00:33
pmatulisgua: investigate the fuse-based sshfs filesystem00:35
Adam__hi all, I'm having issues with my server, I just ubuntu 11.04 server edition with lamp, open ssh, etc. I cped the default sites-available file and made my own for my fqdn, and to point to my site's directory, and I have DNS setup to point to my IP, forwarded port 22 - 80 to my server computer, but when I try to go to my site ( www.adamgleason.com) it won't connect, but I can ssh into it remotley, so it has to be something wrong w00:50
Adam__ith apache, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.00:50
twbFun tip: next time lucid's mdadm gets completely confused on --assemble --scan, try using --metadata=1.2 instead of the default 0.902:51
twbSee, what happens with 0.9 is, it puts the metadata at the end of the partition.  If the partition happens to end at the same place as the disk ends, mdadm --assemble --scan will try to assemble the *disk* instead of the partition.02:51
twbThis is usually not noticed because (I guess) partman/sfdisk align at the last CHS boundary or something, rather than running the partition to the very end of the disk02:52
twbAlso newer non-LTS releases don't default to 0.9 format02:52
mauricioI'm having some trouble with work and I'd love to get some help.  I'll be happy to paypal a few bucks if anyone can help me out. I'm trying to run firefox/konqeuror from shell_exec in php03:12
mauricioim using suexec and i have no issues normally doing it from the terminal03:13
mauricioran whoami on both ends, same user03:13
mauriciohttp://cl.ly/1O201A1W450M3d3O1M2w is a screenshot of what keeps happening03:13
mauricioKeeps saying ~/.kde can't be written to03:13
mauricioand i think with firefox it can't write to ~/.mozilla03:13
mauricioI'm not sure if its a permissions error or how to fix it or what03:14
twbIsn't suexec an apache thing?03:20
twbWhy would apache be trying to write to .kde03:20
mauriciono thats when im running shell_exec03:20
mauricioand konqueror is just loading/writing settings03:21
twbI don't know what shell_exec is, either.03:21
mauriciosimilar to system()03:21
twbBut probably what's happened is that root has overwritten dotfiles in your home directory, and now you can't overwrit them again.03:21
twbTo get around this, you should use "sudo -i" or "sudo -H -s" or "su -" instead of just "sudo" or "su"03:22
mauriciowell03:22
twbDoing so will cause HOME to be set to /root03:22
mauricioill put it this way03:22
mauricioim not using a root account at all for this03:22
mauricioif i ssh and run DISPLAY=:1 konqueror &03:22
mauricioit works03:22
mauricioif i use php and use shell_exec or system(), and do the same command, it does not03:23
twbIf you're doing systems programming in PHP: don't.03:23
mauriciolol03:23
mauricioim trying to get a simple screenshot server to work03:23
mauricioheck id settle for any lightweight way to generate multiple screenshots at once03:24
qman__yeah, PHP is just not up to a task like that03:38
qman__its system call methods are just plain awkward, even for simple tasks03:38
twbAlso PHP is just plain wrong03:40
mauriciolol03:41
mauricioi tried python as well03:41
mauriciosame behavior03:41
mauricioshould i be thinking of running a simple http server, and starting that up from the terminal? im not sure03:43
qman__I wrote a user time management system for an all0windows Active Directory environment in PHP03:44
qman__boy was that ever a nightmare03:44
mauriciolol03:44
qman__unfortunately I don't know any other languages well enough to actually do it03:45
mauricioim talking start browser -> DISPLAY=:1 import03:45
mauricio:(03:45
mauricioits 2 commands which is a really pity03:45
mauricio*real03:45
mauricioi tried moz-repl but that was too slow :(03:45
qman__<- not a programmer03:45
mauricioyeah thats alright03:46
qman__I know how to program, I'm just not any good at it03:46
qman__said system I made does actually work though03:47
qman__took several weeks to work out the bugs03:47
guamauricio: might be the lack of env vars from the thing you're launching konqueror from03:49
mauriciohow would i go along with fixing that03:49
mauricioi did try something along those lines but maybe i did something different03:49
mauriciothats what the issue sounded like to me at first03:50
guado a thing like "bash -c "DISPLAY=:1; konqueror"03:50
mauriciosec03:50
guawith your script03:50
guaso it'll load up .bashrc and .bash_profile and all that goodness03:50
mauricionot working at all on first try, give me just a minute03:52
mauriciobash -c DISPLAY=:1 konqueror & isn't working from the terminal either03:53
guamauricio: gotta quote the stuff after bash -c03:53
guabash -c "echo foo; echo bar"03:53
mauriciowhoops03:53
mauriciosorry03:53
mauriciothat was exactly what i was looking for!03:54
mauriciothanks03:54
mauricioyou have no idea how much time i wasted03:54
mauriciolol03:54
guaaha03:54
guagl then03:54
guabtw srsly, switch to python03:55
mauriciowell to be honest for this it wouldnt matter03:55
guabash+python will do 99% of stuff03:55
mauricioit makes no difference to me i guess03:55
mauricioin the end its just a tool03:56
mauricioi did code the same thing with python but this has more to do with suexec i think03:56
van7huhowdy03:56
van7huI've installed snort-mysql successfully, where could my alert go in?03:57
mauricioouch04:08
mauricioi got mixed up, bash -c did not work from php :(04:08
mauricioill try to figure out but it didnt work04:08
mauricioill setup python with the correct configuration first04:09
mauricioand try from there04:09
guamauricio: same issue?04:22
mauricioactually i solved it just now04:23
mauricionot pretty but i got it04:23
mauriciolol04:23
mauriciotook a python webserver script and using os.popen04:23
mauricioand from the terminal im starting it using python server.py04:23
mauricioand since i already have enough php code im calling that using php curl04:23
mauricioit works04:23
mauricioi tried it a while back but i got lucky this time04:24
mauricioha04:24
mauriciobut yeah not pretty but this is work and i gotta find a way04:24
mauricionow i just gotta see what i can come up with to scale this a bit more (want to generate multiple screenshots at once) but i can take it from here04:25
mauriciothanks04:25
twbmauricio: you might want to ask #python or ##php instead of here04:26
mauriciowell sure but yeah i came on here because normally i have the same issue with both04:26
mauricioand it has to do more with suexec04:26
mauricioeither way i got it now04:27
kirklandDaviey: RoAkSoAx: I'm thinking cobbler-enroll or orchestra could use something like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/675028/05:04
kirklandDaviey: RoAkSoAx: to take the target baremetal system and give it tags or classes for the instance types that this baremetal machine could host05:04
kirklandDaviey: RoAkSoAx I'm thinking this would make the ensemble bits be able to deploy to the "right" or "best" physical machine more easily05:05
shangkirkland: ping, after I install Orchestra on Oneiric, I tried running cobbler check, but nothing shows up. any ideas?05:23
MACscrso i have a working ubuntu guest that I am going to create an image of so I can use it to create other guests. I currently dont use ipv6, but would still like the image to be ipv6 friendly. For some odd reason the ubuntu system is showing ipv6 addresses in ifconfig. I dont have ipv6 setup for the guest in the guest xen cfg, so where is it adding these addresses? they arent in network/interfaces05:42
twbMACscr: ipv6 is on by default05:43
twbMACscr: the design of ipv6 is that you get an address automatically, even without DHCP or similar05:43
CluelessPersonhey guys.05:43
CluelessPersonI have a question about ddclient05:43
CluelessPersonit's giving me an error, cannot get ip address or something ismilar to that.05:43
twbMACscr: for more about this, read up on ICMPv605:43
MACscrrwb: how can get addreses by default if nothing is serving them? thats stupid05:43
twbMACscr: your machine *will* respond to requests on those addresses05:44
twbIf it's (say) physically unplugged, that just means it'll still respond, but nothing can actually talk to it.05:44
MACscrwhy the hell did they design things that way? whats the point in a system mysteriously creating its own addresses?05:44
twbMACscr: for the same reason DHCP exists -- networks that require less babysitting are easier for non-technical people to maintain, and cheaper for technical people to maintain.05:45
twbMACscr: and it's only "mysterious" to you because you don't understand how IPv6 works.05:46
MACscrbut the point of dhcp is to have a central place to control things imho05:46
MACscrwhich this obviously defeats05:46
twbMACscr: I suggest you either study IPv6, turn it off on your machines, or just live with the way it is.05:47
trapmaxhow can i get rid of "File descriptor 15 (socket:[6111]) leaked on lvremove invocation. Parent PID /bin/bash" when running a cron job?05:47
twbMACscr: I am not interested in discussing whether it's a good or a bad thing.05:47
MACscrrwbyou obviously dont have to reply here if you dont want to05:47
twbMACscr: you've had over a decade to discuss it with IETF if you cared.05:47
MACscrnot thanks for the info05:48
MACscrer, but thanks05:48
twbNo worries05:48
twbFWIW because I am not an IPv6 expert and because I am not actually using it yet, *I* explicitly disable the IPv6 stack on most of my systems05:48
MACscrtwb: so is there not a way just disable the automatic part and still allow it to be assigned a static ipv6 if needed?05:49
twbMACscr: I'm not 100% sure, I think it picks an address only if you don't assign one, but it might keep that address *in addition* to any you assign.05:50
twbIncidentally, I highly recommend O'Reilly's IPv6 book05:51
CluelessPersonI'm getting an error from ddclient "unable to detect ip address"  why would it do that?05:51
twbMACscr: got a turtle on the cover05:54
twbCluelessPerson: are you running it on the host that does PPPoE?05:54
MACscrtwb: thanks anyway. I have enough info to absorb in my work, let alone techs that techs that i dont use05:54
twbCluelessPerson: that is, did you type your adsl username and password into the modem, or into the ubuntu box?05:54
CluelessPersontwb  I don't think so, I'm not very knowlegable about that though05:54
CluelessPersontwb didn't at all05:55
twbCluelessPerson: ok, are you using adsl at all?  This is a home network, yeah?05:55
CluelessPersontwb  Verizon Fios.05:55
CluelessPersonso no.05:55
twbOK, so what gets the dynamic IP address, the cable modem or the ubuntu box?05:56
twbCluelessPerson: how about: pastebin the output of "ip a" on the ubuntu box05:56
CluelessPersonthe verizon fios modem/router.05:56
twbCluelessPerson: you need to run ddclient on the host that has the public IP05:57
CluelessPersontwb  I set it up the same way on my previous server and it worked.05:57
CluelessPersonThis server is just an upgrade, so I have to assume this is the host?05:57
twbCluelessPerson: in that case I dunno05:58
MACscrtwb: i added the following to my sysctl.conf 'net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 0' and i rebooted. When i run: lsmod | grep ipv6, it doesnt show any info. Which is good. But the ip's are still showing in ifconfig05:58
twbMACscr: ipv6 is compiled in05:58
twbMACscr: i.e. it's =y not =m05:58
twbMACscr: 15:59 <dpkg> To disable use of <IPv6> on Lenny: echo install ipv6 /bin/true >> /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf (and reboot for this change to take effect).  From Squeeze onwards, IPv6 is built into the kernel (excluding loongson-2f flavour), add the kernel command line option ipv6.disable=1 to your bootloader.05:59
MACscrah, looks like 'net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1' was the updated setting06:03
twbaccept_ra will be Router Advertisements, which is how IPv6 automatically acquires rules for "ip r".06:04

CluelessPersonI have deluge installed on my server08:24
CluelessPersonand it looks like the webui isn't running for some reason.08:24
CluelessPersonI can't access the webui of deluge, can someone help me figure this out?08:34
linociscohi all, I would like to ask generic questions on DHCP08:38

ubottulinocisco, please see my private message08:46
CluelessPersontwb  and deluge is set to start at startup08:47
CluelessPersonbut I don't see a web ui.08:47

linociscohttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/675101/08:49
CluelessPersonrestarting the server, see if something stupid might make the deluge webui work again08:51
* CluelessPerson is annoyed that people don't make their applications simply autoinstall similar to basically all windows applications08:52
CluelessPerson"Would you like this to run automatically at startup?"08:52
CluelessPersonbam, autoinstall, take care of it's own crap instead of having me manually configure every detail, frustrating08:53

CluelessPersonso what's happening?09:49
linociscoCluelessPerson: but my some clients are still searching old DHCP server and as they could not find. they got no IP.09:50
CluelessPersonall on the same lan?09:50
linociscoCluelessPerson: I turned off the other DHCP source. I left only one. but some clients are still seeking that stopped DHCP source09:50
linociscoCluelessPerson: sure. in the same lan with same subnet09:51
CluelessPersonhrm.09:51
CluelessPersonI assume everything has been rebooted09:51
ersiThere's no need to restart anything :P09:52
CluelessPersonthat's just what I'd do.09:52
CluelessPersonrestart the clients still seeking the new server having been removed09:52
_rubenonly broken clients wouldn't pick up a new dhcp server automagically09:53
_rubenunless the network's broken too09:53
linociscoCluelessPerson: I have rebooted /shutdown every clients. that does not solve. all clients are windows XP09:57
linocisco_ruben: network or cable or clients are not broken.09:58
CluelessPersonlike I said, I know very little about this09:58
CluelessPersonbut I'd check the DNS/similar settings of one of the clients and see if yhou can force it to get the ip from the ubuntu server's lan ip address09:59
CluelessPersonand by very little I mean nothing.09:59
CluelessPerson;)09:59
trapmaxlinocisco: maybe try flushing xp client's dnscache and release/renew dhcp conf10:00

linociscoersi: so I should copy or move installer .deb file into that path and run from that location ?11:31

nick__________Hi all, I have ubuntu 9.10 server installed on a headless machine in my basement.  I received a thin client from a friend, and installed ltsp on the server.  Upon realizing that ltsp needs a desktop environment to run, I installed ubuntu-desktop on my server.  After restart, my server boots, but my samba shares aren't found, ssh is broken, however I can still ping by host name and ip address.21:34
nick__________i'm assuming that it is all broken, because the server downstairs is hung on the login page?21:35
nick__________is there a way around this? or will I have to go down to the basement and login to a user everytime I restart the server?21:36
qman__nick__________, whether or not X is working correctly would not affect sshd21:36
qman__the default login manager is gdm, and is controlled as a normal service, i.e. sudo service gdm start|stop|restart21:37
qman__what likely happened is NetworkManager got installed and broke your networking21:37
qman__just uninstall that from the system locally, check your network settings, and you should be good21:37
nick__________of course, that makes much sense21:38
