[00:57] <JoeGazz84> Hey, is there a good Web panel to use for ubuntu server 10.04? That doesn't interfere with nginx and that's not webmin?
[00:58] <pmatulis> JoeGazz84: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal
[00:59] <JoeGazz84> pmatulis: Thanks, I'll look into that one :)
[01:00] <JoeGazz84> pmatulis: Any other ones? We're looking to test like 2
[01:02] <pmatulis> JoeGazz84: not really
[01:05] <JoeGazz84> pmatulis: Ok, thanks :)
[01:05] <JoeGazz84> Really appreciate it.
[01:32] <pmatulis> JoeGazz84: good call to stay away from webmin, it's a hazard
[01:46] <JoeGazz84> ya
[01:46] <JoeGazz84> I know :)
[02:28] <Doonz> Hey does ubuntu support infiniband adpapters?
[02:31] <jmarsden> Doonz: It would appear to.  Googling for   ubuntu infiniband   might be a good start.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/scst for instance.
[02:32] <jmarsden> Doonz: apt-cache search infiniband     may also provide you with some packages of interest :)
[02:32] <Doonz> yeah it was just on the last few vendors sites debian wasnt mentioned as supported
[02:39] <jonf> hi - has anyone had a problem getting login running on a text console on 11.04? (/dev/console /dev/tty0)
[02:47] <jonf> hmm, s'ok - I think I have got it - needed to change some settings in /etc/default/grub. Question is why does this not work by default?
[02:54] <pmatulis> jonf: why should it?
[02:56] <jonf> pmatulis: I just did a text console installation of ubuntu 11.04, and at the end of the install, I have no way to log into the system. That seems wrong to me.
[02:57] <jonf> pmatulis: I rebooted into rescue mode, installed ssh (which I probably should have done anyway.. )
[02:58] <jonf> pmatulis: no virtual consoles working seems new and odd to me, I guess thats all.

[10:24] <CluelessPerson> for some reason I can't place blocks on my server
[10:24] <CluelessPerson> I just switched to world multiverse
[10:24] <CluelessPerson> not sure why it would do that.
[10:26] <CluelessPerson> hello?
[10:26] <CluelessPerson> there are seriously 250 people in this room and there's no answer?
[10:26] <CluelessPerson> weird

[10:32] <alamar> not even 5 but start complaining after 2 minutes
[10:33] <alamar> and I for one do not even understand what your question is
[10:34] <CluelessPerson> I got multiverse working
[10:35] <CluelessPerson> alamar  and suddenly I can't place any blocks in any world.
[10:35] <CluelessPerson> worldedit works
[10:35] <CluelessPerson> but I can't place blocks directly in world

[16:36] <kaushal> its on 10.04.1

[16:36] <kaushal> how is it possible ?
[16:38] <maxagaz> hi
[16:40] <maxagaz> I would like to monitor all the traffic on my server, at least all the SSH traffic (who and where do people conenct from, the amount of data they've downloaded or uploaded, and from where), what tool should I use ?
[16:41] <maxagaz> (especially ssh tunnelling traffic)
[16:42] <kaushal> Any clue please ?
[17:05] <hggdh> kaushal: this is virtual memory you are looking at
[17:05] <hggdh> the whole address space for this process
[17:07] <kaushal> yes
[17:07] <kaushal> hggdh: but the physical memory space is 48 GB
[17:07] <kaushal> oh ok
[17:08] <kaushal> so means hardisk space ?
[17:08] <hggdh> no
[17:09] <hggdh> directly from the man entry for 'top': The total amount of virtual memory used by the task.  It includes all code, data and shared libraries plus pages that have been swapped out and pages that have been mapped but not used.
[17:09] <kaushal> ok
[17:09] <hggdh> this is just memory space
[17:09] <kaushal> got it
[17:10] <kaushal> also if i need someone to refer to VIRT under man top
[17:10] <kaushal> is there a shortcut key or something ?
[17:10] <jfb_h20> lost my webcam /dev/video0 , but can't determine the cause...
[17:10] <kaushal> like href in case of html page
[17:10] <kaushal> i know just do man top and then /VIRT
[17:10] <jfb_h20> dmesg shows it registered a new interface driver uvcvideo...
[17:11] <jfb_h20> any ideas on what else to check?
[17:11] <kaushal> simpler way to do it ?
[17:11] <hggdh> kaushal: no, not really. But. while in 'man' you can search for 'VIRT', or 'o:', and this will put you straight to the explanation
[17:11] <hggdh> heh
[17:11] <jfb_h20> can I delete /dev/video0 and see reboot? maybe it was corrupted?
[17:12] <kaushal> you can search for 'VIRT', or 'o:' ?
[17:12] <kaushal> not sure how do i use o: ?
[17:14] <kaushal> hggdh: please help me understand
[17:15] <hggdh> kaushal: /o:
[17:15] <kaushal> ok
[17:15] <hggdh> kaushal: the fields shown on 'top' are associated with letters. 'o' is the letter for the VIRT field
[17:16] <kaushal> ok
[17:16] <kaushal> i did top -d 1
[17:16] <kaushal> and then letters ?
[17:17] <hggdh> no, you would need to start top, then enter 'o' and the fields you want
[17:18] <hggdh> (the fields will be shown)
[17:19] <hggdh> I mean, just hit 'o', then select the fields you want
[17:28] <kaushal> hggdh: Thanks
[17:29] <kaushal> also what does [flush-8:16]
[17:29] <kaushal> mean
[17:29] <kaushal> how do i get rid of it
[17:29] <kaushal> when i do top this process shows up

[18:15] <Guybrush_T> dont know if this is the right place to ask but i have some problems with bind9: i just configured dhcpd and bind to use dyndns and it seems to work up to one point - named wants to creat journal files corresponding to the zone files but apparmor interferes
[18:16] <Guybrush_T>  apparmor="DENIED" operation="mknod" parent=1 profile="/usr/sbin/named" name="/etc/bind/db.intranet.local.jnl" pid=19257 comm="named" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=105 ouid=105
[18:16] <Guybrush_T> any ideas?
[18:22] <hggdh> Guybrush_T: run 'sudo aa-status' to find the name of the bind9 profile; then run 'aa-complain <the profile name you found>
[18:22] <hggdh> this will put the bind9 profile in complain mode
[18:23] <hggdh> then find out what it is complaining about (all of the complains) and adjust the apparmor bind9 profile as needed; then put it back in enforce mode
[18:23] <hggdh> I do not use bind9, so I do not know if this is an expected action from you, or a bug
[18:24] <Guybrush_T> ill give that a try
[18:24] <Guybrush_T> its probably named
[18:27] <hggdh> then the profile is probably /usr/sbin/named, and will be called usr.sbin.named in the /etc/apparmor.d directory
[18:28] <Guybrush_T> thanks - ill have a look there - hope its not too complicated to change that stuff
[18:28] <Guybrush_T> btw - even though its in complain mode the error msg didnt really change
[18:30] <Guybrush_T> just tried to open /usr/sbin/named .... doesnt look right ^^
[18:30] <Guybrush_T> ah sorry got that mixed up
[18:30] <hggdh> heh
[18:31] <hggdh> and I should have told you from the beginning the profile name... it is shown in the messages
[18:31] <Guybrush_T> ah ^^
[18:31] <Guybrush_T> ok i opened it
[18:32] <Guybrush_T> ok i notice one thing - theres a comment that says /etc/bind should be read only
[18:32] <Guybrush_T> for bind
[18:32] <hggdh> this is not an error if you put the profile in complain mode
[18:33] <hggdh> yes. this is why apparmour complained on a create operation
[18:33] <hggdh> apparmor
[18:33] <Guybrush_T> yes
[18:34] <Guybrush_T> but it seems to be ok that it complains
[18:34] <hggdh> also, if you 'grep audit /var/log/syslog' you will see all apparmour messages, then it is just adjusting the profile
[18:34] <Guybrush_T> cant be a  bug if theres even a comment to explain it
[18:34] <hggdh> if it is in complain mode, then named is running, and you should be able to check NS resolution
[18:35] <hggdh> Guybrush_T: I did not *think* it was a real error, since it seems you created some zones; but I am not sure (again, I do not use bind9)
[18:35] <Guybrush_T> oh - its not that named is not starting
[18:35] <Guybrush_T> its running fine
[18:36] <Guybrush_T> but WHEN a client requests dhcp dhcp contacts named to write a new dns entry
[18:36] <Guybrush_T> thats when named/bin tries to creates / append to a jnl file in /etc/bind
[18:37] <hggdh> and you might get another audit message stating what operation would be blocked -- and you again adjust the profile, and reload it
[18:37] <Guybrush_T> so i should comment the following line? /etc/bind/** r,
[18:38] <hggdh> no
[18:38] <hggdh> of course, you _can_, but you are weakening the protection
[18:38] <Guybrush_T> right - thought so too ^^ - then i didnt understand what you wanted me to do
[18:38] <Guybrush_T> "adjust the profile"
[18:41] <hggdh> named is trying to work on your zone files, but the default profile inhibits it. So you adjust the profile in order to be able to go back to enforce mode
[18:44] <hggdh> keeping with your error line, db.intranet.local.jnl is being created, but the usr.sbin.named profile does not authorise it. So you can add a line saying this file can be created (and written to, also)
[18:46] <Guybrush_T> i just found an interesting conversation about using symlinks
[18:46] <Guybrush_T> there seems to be a directory wher bind can/ should write those jnl files to
[18:46] <Guybrush_T> /var/cache/bind
[18:51] <Guybrush_T> ok, i just founda  forum post that explains how its supposed to be done: bind shouldnt be allowed to write anything to /etc/bind - thats why the zone files should be linked to from /var/cache/bind/
[18:51] <Guybrush_T> when named finds them there it will create the jnl files there and not try to create them in /etc/bind/
[18:51] <Guybrush_T> so ill try that
[18:52] <Guybrush_T> i can tell you how it went if you are still interested
[18:52] <log69> hi all! anybody interested in testing my security related software? to harden servers too? this is a 1-click auto MAC configuration solution. every suggestion or opinion is welcome! my site: http://log69.com/tomld_en.html
[18:53] <hggdh> Guybrush_T: sounds plausible, and yes, I would be interested (since one day I am going back to bind9 ;-))
[18:53] <Guybrush_T> what are you using now anyway?
[18:55] <hggdh> an external NS (google)
[18:55] <Guybrush_T> ah k
[18:55]  * alamar favors powerdns
[18:56] <Guybrush_T> man id like to try them all but im so nooby i have to go slow about it
[18:56] <Guybrush_T> i want so muchb and can do so little ^^
[18:57] <Guybrush_T> also im SO CLOSE to getting it to work (i think)
[18:57] <hggdh> heh
[19:00] <Guybrush_T> the link i probably need is  simply ln -s right?
[19:01] <Guybrush_T> coz it still wants to write in /etc/bind...
[19:01] <Guybrush_T> *sigh*
[19:07] <hggdh> Guybrush_T: IDK now, sorry
[19:07] <Guybrush_T> hggdh: its ok - thanks for helping
[19:38] <Guybrush_T> hah! it works
[19:39] <Guybrush_T> problem was that the zone descripton in named.conf.local was still pointing to the /etc/bind/ files and not the symlinks ^^
[19:40] <Guybrush_T> hggdh: bump
[19:44] <rickjaruiz> how do i force close a screen? i used screen ./start.sh

[19:46] <rickjaruiz> yes
[19:46] <rickjaruiz> its stuck
[19:46] <rickjaruiz> trying to start
[19:47] <rickjaruiz> i need to force close
[19:47] <TheEvilPhoenix> um...
[19:47] <TheEvilPhoenix> why did you do screen ./start.sh?
[19:47] <TheEvilPhoenix> curious :P
[19:47] <rickjaruiz> it starts a server
[19:47] <guntbert> rickjaruiz: try ctrl+c, ctrl+d
[19:48] <rickjaruiz> nvm, i did ctrl+a then +d, then screen -X quit
[19:50] <rickjaruiz> is there a "free -m" that auto refreshes?
[19:52] <guntbert> rickjaruiz: watch free -m
[19:52] <rickjaruiz> nice thanks
[19:53] <guntbert> you're welcome :-)
[20:43] <hggdh> Guybrush_T: ack, thank you
[21:49] <Guybrush_T> is there a way to make bind flush all dyndns entries?
[21:51] <photon> Guybrush_T: #bind
[22:03] <StevenR> Guybrush_T: restart it
[22:03] <Guybrush_T> nah doesnt work
[22:04] <StevenR> how do you know it doesn't work? What tests are you doing to verify this?
[22:06] <Guybrush_T> i restarted it
[22:06] <Guybrush_T> and when i do nslookup its still there
[22:07] <Guybrush_T> or what did you mean
[22:07] <StevenR> I meant that, but much more precise. Could you pastebin the terminal output for your testing?
[22:10] <Guybrush_T> do you want me restart dhcpd too?
[22:11] <StevenR> I'm not sure that would help. Could you expand on your problem and setup. It might help to explain what you expect/want to occur
[22:12] <Guybrush_T> ok 1 sec ill post to pastebin first
[22:12] <StevenR> sure
[22:12] <Guybrush_T> http://pastebin.com/6z2qA0H3
[22:14] <Guybrush_T> so my setup is: dhcpd-server with 1 subnet and ddns - and 1 bind/named-server with 1 forward and 1 reverse zone
[22:14] <Guybrush_T> they share a key for allow-update
[22:14] <Guybrush_T> my forward zone works perfectly well
[22:15] <Guybrush_T> but the reverse zone doesn't
[22:15] <Guybrush_T> at one point i had the following error msg: adding an RR at '118.0.168.192.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa' PTR
[22:15] <StevenR> be more precise (I also recommend learning how to use the "dig" command, because it's much clearer to see what's happening I find)
[22:15] <Guybrush_T> well no error
[22:16] <Guybrush_T> but it ads some bugus stuff
[22:16] <Guybrush_T> the ip is far too long
[22:16] <StevenR> can you be more precises about "doesn't work"
[22:16] <Guybrush_T> yes dig is supposed to be good
[22:17] <Guybrush_T> well in the syslog it prints lines like the one above where the ip adress is fucked up and when i do nslookup IPADR it says: server can't find 118.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAIN
[22:17] <StevenR> looking at that message, either the DHCP server isn't right, or the zone definition or zone file isn't right
[22:17] <Guybrush_T> i think so too
[22:17] <StevenR> try dig @dnsserverIP 118.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. PTR
[22:17] <Guybrush_T> problem is i cant test my changes to the files because they "ignore" me because im already in the tables
[22:18] <Guybrush_T> pastebin or private msg
[22:18] <Guybrush_T> ?
[22:19] <StevenR> pastebin please, then anyone playing along can see it
[22:19] <Guybrush_T> http://pastebin.com/m3FWxgFD
[22:19] <Guybrush_T> kk
[22:19] <StevenR> get rid of the text "IP" from the command and try again
[22:20] <Guybrush_T> ah ok
[22:20] <StevenR> dig @192.168.0.1 118.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. PTR
[22:21] <Guybrush_T> http://pastebin.com/eqSe7P98
[22:22] <Guybrush_T> ah i just noticed i can edit pastes
[22:22] <Guybrush_T> i can paste my dhcpd and named files as well if you want
[22:24] <StevenR> yes, do that.
[22:26] <Guybrush_T> http://pastebin.com/iu7mMKXm
[22:26] <Guybrush_T> thats cat named.conf named.cong.options named.cong.locals
[22:27] <Guybrush_T> http://pastebin.com/VLhJSebJ
[22:27] <Guybrush_T> dhcpd.conf
[22:30] <StevenR> ok. can you paste the zone file for the reverse zone too please
[22:30] <Guybrush_T> the forward one works fine - so ill post the reverse
[22:30] <StevenR> sure
[22:30] <StevenR> both the named and dhcpd confs look fine
[22:31] <Guybrush_T> http://pastebin.com/bXVZZCrz
[22:32] <Guybrush_T> if you look into the dhcpd.conf - there's ddns-rev-domainname : im not sure with that one
[22:32] <Guybrush_T> also im not sure if to add a dot
[22:34] <StevenR> the internet suggests ddns-rev-domainname "in-addr.arpa";
[22:35] <TheEvilPhoenix> ^
[22:35] <Guybrush_T> i tried that one too
[22:35] <StevenR> and you want   ddns-domainname "intranet.local.";
[22:35] <Guybrush_T> ah
[22:35] <Guybrush_T> but it works
[22:35] <StevenR> hmm.. or maybe not
[22:35] <Guybrush_T> u sure?
[22:35] <StevenR> hang on
[22:36] <Guybrush_T> also then it would be in-addr.arpa. right?
[22:36] <StevenR> hmmm.... no
[22:36] <Guybrush_T> adding an RR at '118.0.168.192.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa' PTR --> from this message i take that i have something wrong with the zones
[22:37] <Guybrush_T> it took the zone name and used it as "last ip number"
[22:38] <StevenR> the zone file is missing something
[22:38] <StevenR> everything else looks fine
[22:38] <Guybrush_T> so i think dhcpd posts over 118.0.168.192 as the last number - and bind puts it in front of its own X.0.168.192
[22:39] <Guybrush_T> how do you know its missing something? also the zone file is not really involved in the dyndns part i thought
[22:39] <StevenR> put this below the $TTL line in the reverse zone file
[22:39] <StevenR> $ORIGIN 0.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA.
[22:40] <StevenR> then, stop bind, remove the journal files, start bind again, and see
[22:41] <StevenR> Guybrush_T: the zone file is where those PTR records are written (well, actually to the journal, and periodically committed to the zone file)
[22:42] <Guybrush_T> uhu
[22:42] <Guybrush_T> ok i removed the jnl
[22:43] <Guybrush_T> just another short question: i stopped bind - removed the jnl and started bind again: why can i still nslookup my client? shouldnt this information begone?
[22:44] <StevenR> can you be more specific?
[22:45] <StevenR> pastebin the command and output
[22:45] <TheEvilPhoenix> your system may be caching the lookups.  or nslookup is using other servers
[22:45] <Guybrush_T> ok - so now: i had another dhcp request etc but since he already knew my laptop he didnt map anything - there are no jnl fils created
[22:46] <Guybrush_T> http://pastebin.com/j9jDCF5q
[22:47] <StevenR> Guybrush_T: it already had a lease for you
[22:47] <TheEvilPhoenix> ^
[22:47] <StevenR> so dhcpd didn't need to do anything
[22:48] <Guybrush_T> then i need to flush the leases
[22:49] <StevenR> it'll be somewhere like /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases .... you need to stop dhcpd, remove the file, start dhcpd. It's a BAD PLAN to do it if you have multiple dhcp clients active, as you *might* get IP conflicts
[22:55] <Guybrush_T> StevenR: !!!! it works
[22:55] <Guybrush_T> =D
[22:55] <StevenR> *jazz hands*
[22:56] <Guybrush_T> i think the ddns-rev thing did the trick
[22:56] <Guybrush_T> thanks man!
[22:56] <StevenR> did you add both the ddns-rev thing and the origin thing?
[22:56] <Guybrush_T> im working on this for 8 hours
[22:56] <Guybrush_T> ah yes
[22:56] <Guybrush_T> that too
[22:56] <Guybrush_T> maybe thats it too
[22:56] <Guybrush_T> i dont know
[22:56] <StevenR> it was the origin thing then
[22:57] <Guybrush_T> can you explain the problem?
[22:57] <StevenR> the zone file lacked a reference point
[22:58] <StevenR> so dhcpd expected to be doing one thing, but because of the lack of reference point, ended up doing something else
[22:58] <Guybrush_T> ok - well i cant thank you enough for your time
[22:59] <Guybrush_T> i would've never found that
[22:59] <StevenR> no problem :)
[23:00] <Guybrush_T> should there be this origin in the forward zone field too?
[23:00] <Guybrush_T> i mean it works but i want it to be proper
[23:01] <StevenR> can you pastebin the forward zone file ?
[23:03] <Guybrush_T> http://pastebin.com/kwjZQWHF
[23:04] <Guybrush_T> i just read that usually the origin is by default the same as the zone name defined in the named.conf
[23:04] <Guybrush_T> and it worked for the forward zone probably
[23:07] <StevenR> http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch8/#zone
[23:07] <Guybrush_T> maybe i should've put just in-addr.arpa instead of 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa in the named.cong
[23:07] <Guybrush_T> *conf
[23:07] <StevenR> yes, that's probably true. Doesn't hurt to be specific
[23:07] <Guybrush_T> 118.0.168.192.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa
[23:07] <StevenR> I'd just be specific in the zone file. Then the filename doesn't actually matter
[23:08] <Guybrush_T> yeah
[23:08] <Guybrush_T> well im dead beat
[23:08] <Guybrush_T> gotta go to bed now
[23:08] <StevenR> see that zytrax link for an example forward zone
[23:08] <StevenR> $ORIGIN example.com.
[23:08] <StevenR> (note the trailing .)
[23:09] <Guybrush_T> yeah i have the trailing dot for my forward zone anyway
[23:09] <Guybrush_T> in named.cong
[23:09] <Guybrush_T> NONF
[23:09] <Guybrush_T> CONF
[23:09] <Guybrush_T> gee
[23:09] <Guybrush_T> also - is it possible to use a subdomain of my real domain for my home network? like home.mydomain.com
[23:10] <Guybrush_T> and then server.home.mydomain.com
[23:13] <TheEvilPhoenix> a subdomain of a subdomain?
[23:13] <TheEvilPhoenix> :P
[23:14] <StevenR> Guybrush_T: yes, technically it is.... you'll need to do a little thinking up front as to how you expect it to work
[23:15] <Guybrush_T> TheEvilPhoenix: sounds cool right ^^
[23:15] <TheEvilPhoenix> not really
[23:15] <Guybrush_T> thinking is for the morrow
[23:16] <TheEvilPhoenix> StevenR is right, you need to decide how you want it structured ahead of time
[23:16] <TheEvilPhoenix> for example, my home net has a domain, homenet162.domain.us
[23:17] <TheEvilPhoenix> no that's not the real domain
[23:17] <TheEvilPhoenix> each system inside that has its own hostname: machinename.homenet162.domain.us
[23:17] <TheEvilPhoenix> routing to that is processed through a system i own
[23:17] <TheEvilPhoenix> crazy difficult to keep running
[23:17] <TheEvilPhoenix> since i now have 15 systems on said network
[23:18] <TheEvilPhoenix> (granted i'm not going to explain my configuration, as i havent had to modify it in EVER)
[23:18] <TheEvilPhoenix> but he's right, in order to define that subdomainofasubdomain
[23:18] <TheEvilPhoenix> you really need to consider the structuring of everything ahead of time
[23:18] <TheEvilPhoenix> before setting it all up
[23:21] <Guybrush_T> i thought so
[23:21] <Guybrush_T> but it sounds nice anyway
[23:22] <Guybrush_T> thanks again - and ill be going now
[23:22] <Guybrush_T> tomorrow will be iptables turn
[23:22] <Guybrush_T> yay
[23:22] <Guybrush_T> ILL BE BACK
[23:23] <Guybrush_T> StevenR: btw - i just commented out the origin thing with ;
[23:23] <Guybrush_T> and still worked
[23:23] <StevenR> in which file?
[23:23] <Guybrush_T> i think it was the ddns-rev-domainname
[23:23] <Guybrush_T> the reverse zone
[23:24] <StevenR> so what does the ddns-rev-domainname say now? And what does the conf say for the zone name?
[23:24] <Guybrush_T> named.cong zone name: "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa"
[23:25] <Guybrush_T> dhcpd.cong ddns-rev-domainname "in-addr.arpa";
[23:25] <StevenR> well, I suppose that's technically correct
[23:26] <Guybrush_T> i suppose
[23:26] <StevenR> it'd be better to specify the origin tbh
[23:26] <Guybrush_T> yeah thats why i just commented it out - i plan to put it back in - just wanted to try it
[23:26] <Guybrush_T> well - good night
[23:27] <StevenR> night
