[14:13] <pr0zoid> How can i remotely image by ubuntu-server.  I want to take a full backup of my remote server (all i have is command line interface).
[14:55] <savoy9020> How do you make ubuntu-server reprobe hardware.. My server vm's won't see network nics when I move them to another host..
[17:37] <philipballew> how would i run chrome or some browser through ssh from my server to me?
[17:40] <jmarsden> philipballew: ssh -X you@remotemachine.example.com somebrowser
[17:47] <philipballew> jmarsden, ok. so do i only need to install the chromieum browser or anything else?
[17:48] <philipballew> philip@philip-Studio-1558:~$ ssh -x philip@philipserver1.no-ip.org chromium-browser
[17:48] <philipballew> philip@philipserver1.no-ip.org's password:
[17:48] <philipballew> (chromium-browser:23738): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[17:48] <jmarsden> philipballew: -X and -x are not the same thing.
[17:48] <jmarsden> In fact they are opposites :)
[17:48] <philipballew> haha, thats true. :) I should have seen that
[18:26] <spacin> firestarter? usefull or totally not worth the time
[19:12] <BrixSat> hey im having a problem
[19:13] <BrixSat>  WARNING: Can't change user id unless you are root.
[19:13] <BrixSat> on this init.d script http://pastebin.com/L2h5FPgw
[19:19] <jmarsden> BrixSat: well, the obvious question is... *are* you running it with root priviledges?
[19:19] <BrixSat> yes :)
[19:19] <BrixSat> im as user root
[19:19] <BrixSat> but i was expecting that to auto-hapen at boot time
[19:23] <jmarsden> BrixSat: The error is coming from start-stop-daemon but I can't see why, if it is really being run as root.
[19:24] <BrixSat> :S
[19:42] <BrixSat> jmarsden:  if i put it in rc.local will it run as root?
[19:42] <jmarsden> It should, yes.
[19:42] <BrixSat> how do i disable the icecast from init.d?
[19:45] <BrixSat> update-rc.d -f apache2 remove got it :D
[19:45] <jmarsden> apache2 and icecast are not the same thing :)
[21:48] <Chris89x> hello, is there a similar command for "chkconfig service_name off" for 10.04 lts?
[22:36] <mASOUD_42> hi i typed "pkill -KILL -u root" in a ssh .and now i cant access it anymore .what should i do?
[22:37] <mASOUD_42> hello?
[22:38] <jmarsden> mASOUD_42: I think you should (a) not type in commands as root that you do not fully understand, and (b) reboot the machine you killed.
[22:41] <mASOUD_42> ty, the problem was that, lest say i first logged in at 1:08 and then at 1:25 my internet connection disconnected. and when i reconnected again , when i typed "w" it showed 2 roots logged in , i mean the last one was still logged in
[22:42] <mASOUD_42> how could i log that out?
[22:42] <jmarsden> So you should have figured out which one was your current session and which was not, and killed the ONE process you wanted to kill, not all processes owned by root!!
[22:42] <mASOUD_42> no the both were named root
[22:43] <mASOUD_42> i still have the terminal open
[22:44] <mASOUD_42> http://paste.ubuntu.com/681455/
[22:44] <jmarsden> You are confused.  root is a user name, not a process ID.
[22:45] <jmarsden> You need to kill off the bash shell on pty/0 (look at the output you pasted).
[22:45] <mASOUD_42> how?
[22:46] <jmarsden> ps ax | grep bash |grep pty/0      or any similar way to look for the PID.
[22:46] <jmarsden> Then kill that PID.
[22:46] <mASOUD_42> ty
[22:46] <jmarsden> You're welcome.
[22:47] <mASOUD_42> so now i need to contact the support and ask them to restart the server? it was a vps
[22:48] <jmarsden> I would think so, as far as I can see your pkill killed off all root-owned processes, which would effectively kill the server completely.
[22:48] <mASOUD_42> :\
[22:49] <mASOUD_42> i read the thing in here http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-logout-user-howto/
[22:51] <jmarsden> mASOUD_42: You did not read it very carefully.  It says that is how to "logout other users" --
[22:51] <jmarsden> It does not say it is safe to use for logging out root.
[22:52] <mASOUD_42> is it like that if we kill all processes owned by a user then we logged him/her off?
[22:52] <jmarsden> Yes.  But if you do that for root, you also killed off all the daemons running as root, such as sshd ...
[22:53] <mASOUD_42> yes i think now i understand what i just did.
[23:40] <kalkin-> hi
