[04:09] <b0nghitter> i hope it would be possible for ubuntu server 10 to be supported by cpanel.. hopefully the devs could contact them and get it going..
[04:10] <b0nghitter> i was forced into using centos for now. very disappointed..
[05:30] <KM0201> why is it that sudo fdisk -l always shows my /dev/md0 as not having a valid partition table?
[05:31] <KM0201> i formatted it as ext4, before install
[05:39] <qman__> md raid devices don't have partition tables, normally
[05:39] <qman__> they either have LVMs or filesystems
[05:41] <KM0201> qman__: oh ok
[05:41] <KM0201> well, it has a filesystem (i can read/write to it no problem)
[05:41] <KM0201> i jus tthought that was a weird output ... guess i was wrong.

[06:45] <koolhead17> hi all
[08:45] <MACscr> my ubuntu server is running as a xen pvm and its having major time issues, look how fast the time is moving here: http://screencast.com/t/TbiEYeMMRIJ
[08:50] <Abhijit> hi
[08:50] <Abhijit> help
[08:51] <Abhijit> apache and phpmyadmin are running but still php scripts are not being parsed firefox ask to download. this is local server. help please
[08:51] <Abhijit> itsa  lamp on lucid 64 bit
[08:56] <andygraybeal> MACscr, i like how 11 seconds went by after one second :)
[08:59] <MACscr> andygraybeal: i know, its screwed up. THe clock is already 2 hours ahead and i just set it 20 or so minutes ago
[08:59] <MACscr> any ideas?
[09:06] <Abhijit> apache and phpmyadmin are running but still php scripts are not being parsed firefox ask to download. this is local server. help please
[09:58] <andygraybeal> MACscr, no man, i have no idea
[09:58] <andygraybeal> i don'yt know much about any of this
[10:28] <GG111> greetings all,  I got a real bad one with PopTop , ( PPTPD),  "
[10:28] <GG111> "  GRE: Bad checksum from pppd " is the error, cannot connect  ( after being able to ) from XP and Win7 machines to my PPTP server .
[10:49] <archayl> hi, how do i make ubuntu samba wins server to appear in network browsing through pptp? i'm able to access using unc but the name doesn't seems to be broadcasted. tq.
[11:05] <RoyK> archayl: wins may help
[11:06] <RoyK> archayl: windows traditionally uses smb broadcasts to locate services, and those broadcasts may not be forwarded over the tunnel. wins is the old name resolution system. later versions (from win2k etc) have changed this to using dns
[11:10] <archayl> RoyK: i've already made smbd as wins server. I've used nblookup in windows and found the wins server using netbios name. should i look into dns for network browsing purpose? trying to access from windows 7.
[11:27] <RoyK> win7 is set to use the particular wins server?
[11:36] <archayl> RoyK: in the connection status for pptp connection it states the IPv4 WINS server. tcpdump states that there are netbios communication happens in the tunnel.
[11:38] <archayl> RoyK: one of them http://dpaste.com/620658/
[11:43] <koolhead17> RoyK: howdy
[11:59] <archayl> RoyK: query using nblookup which returns as expected (tcpdump) http://dpaste.com/620664/
[12:03] <RoyK> archayl: does ipconfig /all return the wins server?
[12:03] <RoyK> it may have to be set in the windows network config
[12:05] <archayl> RoyK: yup, it's there http://dpaste.com/620668/
[12:05] <RoyK> sorry, don't know then
[12:06] <archayl> RoyK: thank you anyway for trying to help me :)
[12:07] <RoyK> np :)
[12:24] <mfranz> has anyone ever got PXE boot working with through a KVM created through virt-manager?
[12:25] <mfranz> I'm sniffing on the network and never even see the DHCP request go out
[14:39]  * RoyK just bought a AOC-SAT2-MV8 over ebay for $38
[14:39] <RoyK> good for a home server :D
[14:58] <x404x> do i need postfix to have ubuntu email reports ?
[15:05] <RoyK> x404x: you need an mta, postfix is good for that
[17:01] <juliux_> hi, i have a problem with adding something to my ldap as non admin user, you can find everything on http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/402882/ what have I done wrong with my acl's?
[17:14] <maxb> olcAccess: {2}to * by dn="cn=admin,dc=juliux,dc=de" write by * read
[17:15] <maxb> takes precedence over what follows it
[17:15] <maxb> The "to * ... by * read" matches everything, so nothing after that in the ACL will take effect
[17:15] <maxb> juliux_: ^
[17:16] <juliux_> maxb: ok
[17:17] <juliux_> maxb: so the solution would be to change the order of the acl's?
[17:18] <maxb> yes
[17:19] <juliux_> maxb: what would be the easiest way to do this?
[17:19] <maxb> I don't know... I greatly dislike the slapd.d/**.ldif configuration model, and stick with a plain slapd.conf myself
[17:24] <juliux_> maxb: :D
[17:24] <juliux_> maxb: also if i delete the  to * by dn="cn=admin,dc=juliux,dc=de" write by * read
[17:24] <juliux_> it is not working
[17:28] <b0gatyr> hello, I have a perl script that uses IO::Socket::INET and when executing I get this message: Your vendor has not defined Socket macro SO_REUSEPORT, used at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/IO/Socket/INET.pm line 193
[17:28] <b0gatyr> any clues?
[18:02] <LinuxAdmin> Hi, I forgot a KVM VM password, but I can mount it's filesystem with kvm-nbd on a local folder
[18:02] <LinuxAdmin> what do I do next to change the password?
[18:03] <LinuxAdmin> I already upload ssh certificate to .ssh/authorized_keys, to try login with passwordless, but it didn't work
[18:03] <LinuxAdmin> what can I do next?
[18:04] <LinuxAdmin> I can mount it on a local folder in the host
[18:04] <ersi> Can you or can you not mount the filesystem?
[18:05] <ersi> If you can, just change your password in /etc/shadow
[18:05] <LinuxAdmin> yes I can
[18:06] <LinuxAdmin> but /etc/shadow is encrypted and the same password on different hosts give different hash result and I'm afraid of copy from another host
[18:06] <ersi> It's alright to copy it from another host
[18:06] <ersi> It's supposed to be different, since it's a salted password
[18:06] <ersi> if it's the same, it's bad.
[18:07] <LinuxAdmin> why does the same password give different hash?
[18:07] <LinuxAdmin> on different hosts...
[18:07] <ersi> because extra information is added, to make the hash different
[18:07] <ersi> so that some wiseguy can't make a huge list with "password1 = this hash, pass2 = this hash"
[18:08] <LinuxAdmin> and will it work copy and past from another host?
[18:08] <ersi> Yupp. You could copy the old file so that you'll have it later if you want to
[18:08] <LinuxAdmin> ok, I'll try it. Thanks
[18:09] <LinuxAdmin> I give feed back in a minute
[18:09] <ersi> np :)
[18:15] <LinuxAdmin> ersi, it doesn't work, I already restart VM but I can't login. any more ideias?
[18:19] <LinuxAdmin> I already did this in a physical machine, I boot from a live cd, chroot to the right mounted folder, and passwd the user account
[18:19] <LinuxAdmin> I'm afraid of doing chroot on the VM host
[18:19] <LinuxAdmin> any more ideias?
[18:19] <ersi> You could just reboot the virtual machine, press edit when it boots and add init=/bin/bash to your bootline
[18:20] <ersi> that'll hax your way into the machine and you can 'passwd <user>' it like usual
[18:22] <LinuxAdmin> press edit? Portuguese keyboard does not have that key
[18:23] <LinuxAdmin> when I used lilo a few years ago, after I choose the kernel to boot I would write single and I could single-user (root), now I don't know how to do this
[18:24] <LinuxAdmin> it's in grub I suppose
[18:27] <cloakable> the grub menu will tell you how to edit entries
[18:29] <LinuxAdmin> I think I'll try to boot VM from a live CD and chroot it as I would with physical machines
[18:30] <LinuxAdmin> I think this should work
[18:31] <LinuxAdmin> I'm a little bit disappointed because I can access file system and this should be enough :(
[18:51] <LinuxAdmin> ersi, I tryed to copy /etc/shadow line of the same user, from different VMs with same user/password, restarted the VM, but login fails
[18:52] <LinuxAdmin> Any more ideias? I think I'll restart VM from CD and use a live CD to chroot and passwd user
[18:53] <LinuxAdmin> I can't find any other option
[18:54] <LinuxAdmin> I'm just a little bit disappointed because I can access file system :(
[19:17] <Dulcin> Hi, I'm wondering, I just enabled the rewrite module for apache, and restarted apache, but mod_rewrite still doesn't seem to work?
[19:17] <Dulcin> any idea what this could be?
[19:19] <Dulcin> ah, had to allow it in the config file for the vhost as well in apache
[19:19] <Dulcin> thanks!
[20:18] <x404x> what is the best way to ensure file integrity ? I want a script to check weekly all files and report bad/changed ones by email , is sfv good enough for this ? or should i use sha1 or something similar ? the sha1 i use makes different checksums for windows and linux and are thus not compatible, what software packages are most useful for this purpose ?
[20:19] <x404x> I am also thinking of putting all the check files on a mirror on the os disk to not clutter up the file drive too much
[20:19] <mfranz> well one way (which not only reports) but changes them is to use puppet to enforce that only the right versions are installed (primarily for config files)
[20:21] <mfranz> x404x: also "apt-cache search iwatch"
[20:22] <mfranz> and "apt-cache search inotify"
[20:22] <x404x> can puppet change the windows sha1 files into ones usable for linux ?
[20:22] <mfranz> no, so you want something cross platform?
[20:25] <mfranz> if you need something cross platform there is the closed-source/commercial versions of tripwire
[20:25] <x404x> it would be a big plus if it could use existing sfv and sha1 files to check
[20:25] <mfranz> what is sfv?
[20:25] <x404x> I guess i could do a sha1 check in windows and the nuke those files and put in something for linux
[20:26] <x404x> its the most common crc file used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_file_verification
[20:26] <x404x> most of my older files have these already
[20:27] <x404x> hm ill look into inotify and iwatch
[20:27] <x404x> seems theres a ton of utils there to mirror and check stuff
[20:28] <mfranz> those are just for monitoring (vs. deviation from a known good signature)
[20:28] <mfranz> BTW
[20:28] <x404x> im mostly interested in mirror any file thats not there already to a backup server and check for integrity if a drive starts failing
[20:28] <mfranz> inotify is kernel-space so that is nice, no daemon or agent running hash checks
[20:29] <x404x> hm rsync might work to mirror drives
[20:29] <mfranz> hehe, yeah (there is also something called lsyncd)
[20:29] <x404x> i see
[20:30] <x404x> another congress liberary of docs to read lol
[20:30] <dassouki> is there a web app that one can host on their server to design uml and allow teams to build/design umls
[20:30] <mfranz> I think that is basically just inotify+rsync
[20:30] <mfranz> haven't tried it though
[20:32] <x404x> no man for iwatch
[20:33] <x404x> when i installed ubuntu 11.04 i got a different desktop than the one im used to from 10 something, can i change that ?
[20:33] <guntbert> !classic | x404x
[20:33] <x404x> here i need to open +apps and scroll forever just to open a terminal window
[20:34] <guntbert> x404x: why are you asking that in #ubuntu-server ?
[20:34] <x404x> well thats what im building hehe
[20:35] <guntbert> x404x: with a desktop environment? if you say so,...
[20:36] <x404x> hm yes i though it odd that id did not ask me for that
[20:36] <x404x> maybe i should get ubuntu server version ?
[20:36] <x404x> anyway some utils are gui based so i need something to handle that anyway
[20:37] <x404x> just text based wont do for all utils
[20:37] <guntbert> x404x: I don't know what you want/need but *this* channel is intended for the server version
[20:38] <x404x> if i logout will that stop a copy operation i have going ?
[20:40] <guntbert> x404x: if you didn't employ screen, yes
[20:59] <LinuxAdmin> ersi, I copyed /etc/shadow respective line from other host and now it's working, now I can login. thanks
[20:59] <LinuxAdmin> I was mounting another VM, that's the reason why it wasn't working :)
[21:03] <x404x> hm I guess it never occured to me to get the server version (blush) maybe i should try that instead, does that use gnome as default ?
[21:11] <x404x> well im building a fileserver to hold most of my files in a central place instead of over a lot other pcs, since im tired of replacing and checking for files that go bad when drives wear out it should have some good integrity checks for that and also another server as a backup for the first one
[21:12] <x404x> now i have several dozen drives in pcs all over and its hard to find something i need lol
[21:12] <x404x> kinda neat with hotswap cages ;=)
[21:13] <x404x> a lot more neat than the old stack where i had to dismantle the whole box to change a drive
[21:13] <patdk-lap> sounds like a case for zfs :)
[21:13] <x404x> hehe if it was easyer to replace drives in a raid when they fail i would agree
[21:14] <patdk-lap> easier to replace?
[21:14] <x404x> but i tryed for days and finally gave up, also the 2+ days to resync the raid is not fun
[21:14] <patdk-lap> didn't know drives in a raid are hard to replace, normally I just pull out bad one, insert new one, click, rebuild
[21:14] <x404x> yes to get the system to accept the new drive and rebuild it
[21:14] <patdk-lap> there is no way to get around rebuild time
[21:14] <patdk-lap> except to have a faster drives
[21:15] <x404x> I tryed that but it failed
[21:15] <x404x> coz the drives are not identical
[21:15] <x404x> used a 3ware controller
[21:15] <patdk-lap> they don't really have to be identical, they just have to be larger
[21:15] <x404x> I tryed anything to make the new drive identical to the old including dd the whole drive to copy it , but still no deal, I found no way to make it work again
[21:16] <x404x> i ended up with the broken raid and a new drive alone
[21:17] <x404x> i had a lot of power failures here also and in the end I found raid to be not fun to play with
[21:17] <x404x> although im impressed i managed to reconver all the data from it even after all the mayhem
[21:17] <x404x> I still havent got my ups running
[21:18] <x404x> single drives are easyer to handle if somthing goes wrong
[21:18] <x404x> and as storages gets bigger the recovery will wear out new drives before its done
[21:19] <x404x> I read raid5 and even raid6 is becoming obsolete now
[21:19] <twenty2two> hi all...i am running g-apps for my mail server, but am trying to get the contact forms to work on the actual server...does anyone know the process? do i need to just add postfix/will that interfere with g-apps mail?
[21:19] <x404x> by the time it runs again another drice is sure to have failed
[21:25] <arooni-mobile> i'm trying to figure out why i'm not currently able to receive paypal notifications on my web app server.  i am in the paypal sandbox but i can't get a paypal notification to be sent to my server "IPN delivery failed. Unable to connect to the specified URL. Please verify the URL and try again." ... is there a way to see if any ip addresses have been banned etc?
[21:28] <lenios> try a wget URL
[21:35] <x404x> whats a good program to compare directory trees to see if all files are identical to a backup ?
[21:38] <jeeves_moss> is there a way I can thin out my configs and fix the "relay not premitted" errors that I'm getting?  postconf -n=http://pastebin.com/JxyCMen3   http://pastebin.com/ENHnVqrT      http://pastebin.com/M9F0tpNK

[22:12] <JamesT_> Hi, I am having trouble connecting my ubuntu server macine to my university campus wifi. The details we are given about the network are here: http://www.ucc.ie/en/sit/network/wireless/tech/ This is my wpa_supplicant.conf http://pastebin.com/WnrpP3j5 It seems to be connecting (according to iwconfig). But dhclient doesnt work.)
[22:27] <arooni-mobile> hi folks;  i just bought a mobile broadband wireless card.  it give me an ip address of x.x.x.x;  i'd like to make it so i can access my web app via http://ip-address-of-moile-wifi-card:80  ; or http://ip-address-of-moile-wifi-card:3000 ... i'm running ubuntu linux 11.04; is this possible?
[22:33] <cloakable> arooni-mobile: depends on if the IP is behind a NAT; many mobile broadband ip's are.
[22:41] <arooni-mobile> cloakable, how would i find out
[22:41] <cloakable> arooni-mobile: look at the ip address. Is it in the RFC private address space?
[22:42] <cloakable> arooni-mobile: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network#Private_IPv4_address_spaces
[22:42] <drapedup> anyone recommend a good, recent php/mysql book ?
[23:20] <Ash-Fox> If I wanted to setup a port forward in Ubuntu server, do I just write a simple script with my iptables rules that cron launches on @reboot, or does Ubuntu have some specific firewall system that I /should/ be using instead?
[23:22] <ChmEarl> Ash-Fox, same as other distros, try using iptables-restore
[23:22] <Ash-Fox> Alrighty, thanks.
[23:52] <talntid> I have an Ubuntu Server, and when I try to ping a host (google.com, for example)... it immediately resolves to IP, but the pings don't start happening for like... 4 seconds..  then they have 23ms response times.... what could be slowing this down?
[23:53] <talntid> and its like 3-4 seconds between each ping response.. but the latency is low
