For an essentially home server would it be better to use 10.10 or LTS? [02:53] Erm.......11.10.......my bad. [02:54] Basically is it worth it to go with 11.10, or should I just use LTS? [02:55] ordinarily, sticking to LTS means less hassle [02:55] however, 11.10 is one before the next LTS [02:55] so either way, upgrading to the next LTS is one upgrade [02:55] yeah. it's SCSI with hardware RAID....and yeah xD 12.04 is next LTS yes? [02:55] 6 months away though. [02:56] I generally stick to LTS, but in both cases you will want to upgrade to 12.04 in 6-12 months, and in both cases it's a simple upgrade [02:56] but is there anything that 11.10 offers 10.10 doesn't? [02:57] plenty, most notable is hardware compatibility [02:57] hey all. are there any new docs on specifically using ubuntu oneiric xen kernel and orchestra? [02:57] otherwise, it depends on what software you want to run, and whether the newer major versions are something you want [02:58] alrighty. it's fairly old hardware though... it's SCSI, "Smart Array 6i" hardware raid... dual Xeon processors. Think they both are one core. DDR2 ram...Would you recomend 11.10 for that hardware, or is 10.10 going to work fine? [02:59] 10.04 is the LTS, and either should work fine on that hardware [02:59] and i frickin' printed out the damned 300 page manual for ubuntu server 11.04..............and then two days later it updates.......... [02:59] going to be mostly the same [02:59] I can't think of any major changes that would apply in the manual [03:00] and thanks. xD since i don't have to mess with unity in servers.. might as well use the latest for maximum...messing around-ness and yeah i figured it would be similar [03:00] when we went from sysv scripts to upstart scripts, that was a big deal in the manuals [03:00] when was that? [03:00] 9.10 IIRC [03:01] oh-shit. i just remembered i have to learn how to compile my own kernel. >>; school project. D: xD anyway thanks [03:01] the convention changed from /etc/init.d/service start|stop|restart to start|stop|restart service [03:01] oh that one! i still use /etc/init.d/service most of the time [03:01] or service servicename start|stop|restart [03:01] it won't work with most things anymore [03:01] anything that has moved to upstart [03:02] upstart supports the use of sysv scripts, but upstart scripts can't be run in sysv fashion [03:02] xD it still gave me errors last i did it. "You needa do it this way'. AND DAMNED iOS 5 on my IPOD! ITUNES KEEPS POPING UP EVERY 5 MIN AND WIRELESSLY SYNCING MY IPOD! STOP IT DARN YOU! [03:03] the service command handles both cases so that's what I use and recommend [03:03] alrighty. xD thanks. [03:03] >> it's blocked at school but, for learning experience, would it be worth it to try and setup VPN? [03:04] I use openVPN at home and at work extensively [03:04] i can't get the damn thing to run once i configure it. will have to try again. it looks really cool. is it actually useful? xD [03:05] at home I use it for remote access, and for securing my wireless clients [03:05] wifi is in its own little world, and my wireless clients have to openVPN in [03:05] IME openvpn is the easiest to set up and supports the most functions [03:06] ..............IME? whats that stand for? [03:06] you can configure it to support UDP and NetBIOS and all that good stuff [03:06] in my experience [03:07] at work I have probably 20-30 customers with untangle boxes, and those have openVPN built in [03:07] some have site to site VPNs, others just have clients [03:08] hm. cool. xD i don't know all the details. i was stuck at turning it on. e.e........ but this should be easier. two ethernet ports. i can use it as a router too... xD whatever practical use that has. i'm not sure if there is one. does windows natively support VPN? [03:08] so it does.. interesting....... [03:08] I use ubuntu on my router [03:08] set up a dynamic iptables script with port forwarding from a human-readable file [03:08] ._. you mean you hacked your router to use ubuntu, or your router is a computer? [03:08] computer [03:08] four NICs [03:09] o.o four?! [03:09] my setup is atypical [03:09] internet, home LAN, business LAN, wifi LAN [03:09] run an open wifi here, hence the sandboxing [03:09] damn. i'm out numbered. and i should have used NICs... xD ethernet is harder to spell... >>; xD and you run ALL that from ONE server? [03:10] well, the router is one server [03:10] the wifi one? [03:10] openVPN is on a different server, but doesn't have to be [03:10] the wifi LAN is a regular ethernet LAN with four WAPs switched in [03:11] yeah i dunno how that works ._. xD question. if i have an old laptop with no use for it, is there a way to network it so that my server can use some of it's processing power and memory? [03:11] not to any real end [03:11] it's possible but the overhead and effort is not worth it unless you have lots of machines to hook up [03:11] and even then you need a highly threaded application to take advantage [03:12] I just upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04 and when I went to check the status of apache I get no apache MPM installed. [03:12] such as UEC with several VMs [03:12] New bug: #874746 in samba (main) "package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package samba is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed')" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/874746 [03:12] I checked it with sudo service apache2 status [03:12] or some kind of high performance computing application [03:13] xD meh. i use the laptop as a game server now for minecraft. i got the new server for... stuff xD it's mainly for the learning experience. so would it be..a good learning experience to network the two together?xD as in, amusing? [03:13] <-- is amused by complicated computer setups. as long as they work. [03:14] the only two methods I know of that are available in current software versions are beowulf clusters and UEC [03:14] both are specialized and you won't see any benefit [03:14] there used to be a project that would actually link comptuers together and divy up the workload as you probably imagine it should be [03:14] but it's long discontinued [03:15] beowulf clusters sounds familiar. i think someone in my class wanted to mess with them........ and why did the project discontinue? [03:15] hey guys, someone familiar with the new cloud support in ubuntu 11.10 [03:15] don't know, it was before my time as a serious linux user/sysadmin [03:15] xD yeah. i'm trying to learn about linux servers while i can. it seems like a really good skill to have... [03:16] Rojikku, I think it wasn't as effective as it should have been. [03:16] plan 9 from bell labs still has a similar system available, but that's an entirely different animal than linux [03:17] michael_, Yeah, but it sounds cool, that's the important part. xD unless it had like a USB 3.0 connection betweent he two the (GOD DAMN IT ITUNES GO AWAY) speed would bottle neck at the network, it hink :P so yeah [03:17] Rojikku, not just the network, there are a lot of bitfalls. [03:18] michael_, yeah. but with USB3.0 out now it might be worth it to look into it again... there could be a central hub that manages distribution of data... x3 or something. just making complicated but effective and fun . [03:19] Rojikku, but why not use virtualisation or something like map reduce... [03:19] USB3 isn't really that revolutionary [03:19] we've had gigabit ethernet for years [03:19] you don't have to make a huge machine, just make a few small ones and let them work in parallel [03:19] and consumer 10g ethernet is around the corner [03:19] it's much more effective. [03:20] in what country [03:20] USA doesn't have your shiny high speed internets...... because of lack of government regulation...(or so i was told) [03:20] anyway back to the question: anyone familiar with the 11.10 server release? especially cloud, juju and stuff? [03:20] I upgraded my network to gigabit around 2007 [03:20] I'm in the US [03:20] cool.. xD [03:20] ethernet != internet [03:20] yeah. [03:21] michael_, someone mentioned earlier they were still working on some documentation for Juju, Orchestra and some of the cloud stuff [03:21] oh misread what you said [03:21] my bad [03:21] michael_, I've been messing around with Orchestra and juju a bit, but I haven't got far in terms of getting Openstack deployed and working [03:22] ._. what does Orchestra even do... i read the manual... find something complicated... and have to wonder why i would want to learn how to do this because it doesn't list useful examples >< [03:22] There is a finalized manual for Orchestra? Where did you find it? [03:24] It's useful if you've got a bunch of machines you want to manage [03:25] ah. so it's like that canonical update manager thingy? *still reading the blog thingy* [03:25] too much thingy usage. my bad. [03:26] unfortunately most of the servers I manage at work are windows [03:26] otherwise I'd be interested [03:29] I did spend some time setting up icinga today though [03:30] Is that similar to Nagios? [03:31] yep [03:31] it's a nagios fork, and uses nagios plugins [03:31] Hrm, neat [03:31] * enmand_ marks as "Look into" [03:32] the inspiration for setting it up was a godaddy VPS that was flapping in the wind [03:33] and pissing customers off, because some service would stop and we wouldn't know because everything else was working [03:33] lol...do windows servers have any advantage? [03:33] lol [03:33] i havn't actually messed with them at all. [03:33] from a techie point of view, not really [03:34] but practically, they offer something linux doesn't [03:34] a total package [03:34] We have a few Windows servers at work [03:34] doesn't it come with a GUI? [03:34] we have a long way to go in directory systems and email, and integration [03:34] qman__: that could also be its downfall though [03:34] or- xserver [03:34] before linux can hope to replace windows servers in small businesses [03:34] Mostly for applications that don't run on Windows -- e.g. BusinessVision, ActiveDirectory for our reps, etc. [03:35] trust me, if I could replace windows SBS with linux I would, but the software just isn't there [03:36] exchange is a total bear and AD is a pain, but there just isn't anything with equivalent functionality I can set up [03:36] i heard that because of windows ending drive pooling people are switching to ubuntu servers... at least home server users. Due to abrupt though... if I have raid5 and plug in a fourth hot swap drive on a origionally 3 drive system... will it make it like it was origionally 4 drives, or do i ahve to reinstall to have it work properly? [03:36] it won't do anything by itself [03:36] you can either configure it as a spare, or add it to the array and rebuild [03:37] there is a certain chance i might need a BIT more than 100GB-parity [03:37] then resize the partition to fill the added space [03:37] is rebuilding complicated? [03:37] I've done both things [03:37] no, one command [03:37] but it takes a long time [03:37] rebuilding is done online [03:37] o.o with harware raid? [03:37] increasing the filesystem size to fill the newly gained space is offline [03:37] no [03:37] with software [03:37] mdadm [03:37] ah. what if you have hardware? [03:37] hardware depends entirely on your controller [03:38] and very few controllers are going to support expanding an existing array [03:38] if any [03:38] ........so software RAID is better? [03:38] in terms of functionality, yes [03:38] xD damn it! everything points to it being better with ubuntu servers. and i keep hearing it is slow as hell in school. [03:38] hardware can provide a performance advantage, depending [03:38] but unless you have some serious hardware, it's not worth it [03:39] mdadm provides every feature and option you can possibly imagine [03:39] Smart Array 6i........ [03:39] if it has RAM cache, it's probably worth using [03:39] if it doesn't, it probably isn't [03:39] RAID Smart Array 6i Integrated Smart Array 6i Controller + Battery and Memory [03:39] yeah, I'd use that [03:40] well, if performance matters to you [03:40] if not, mdadm will still offer more options [03:40] xD hmm.... that's a hard choice really. [03:40] performance is good. options are good. can't get both? [03:41] being software raid, mdadm does all the math on the CPU [03:41] the hardware raid has its own processor and cache, leaving your CPU free to do other things [03:41] yeah. so they can't communicate on the lever that mdam can use the raid card's processor to do everything? [03:41] mdadm is better because being able to recover your data is more important than having a fast system [03:42] true. [03:42] but it depends what you want the system for really. [03:42] Unless it's a mysql database in which case the data inside it is worthless anyway [03:42] I use mdadm on my servers [03:42] xD the hell would you have a database with worthless data for? [03:42] I just get cards with good throughput and use them that way [03:42] I think he means he doesn't like mysql [03:43] probably. mysql seems so useful though! [03:43] and as twb said, I can recover the data even if I have total system failure by simply plugging enough of the disks into another system and assembling the array [03:44] hm...alrighty [03:44] of course, in the fairly near future, btrfs/zfs will make this obsolete [03:44] >> i dunno about that. but. i will have to do both hardware and software. because i need to learn both out of curiosity. [03:45] probably go with software in the end. i like the idea of adding another drive easily. even if the server is down for hours. xD [03:45] qman__: FSVO near future = 20.04 LTS [03:45] you mean 12? [03:45] ha [03:45] No [03:45] ......................................................................... [03:45] filesystems are *hard* [03:45] Heh [03:45] xD i dunno what FSVO. but i think you mean 12.04? >>; [03:45] ZFS is nice [03:46] It took a decade for ext to get its shit together, and btrfs is a substantially more ambitious design [03:46] Haven't there been a few failed attempted to bring ZFS onto Linux? [03:46] o.o theres more file systems now. [03:46] @.@ [03:46] Rojikku, no, he means 20.04 :p [03:46] enmand_: that's far o.o [03:46] ZFS in linux has a combination problem of licensing and the way linux handles filesystems [03:46] He was joking [03:46] kay [03:47] xD so many technologies...too late at night... [03:47] right now it's possible via fuse, though it's in a very rough state [03:47] and even if it does mature that way, you still need a non-zfs root [03:48] But btrfs would make a logical choice aside from zfs [03:48] yes [03:48] >> anyway, i'm going to go to bed now. Thanks for all the help, it answered a lot of questions that required overly-complex google searches. xD(which i did try, but failed, to do) [03:48] But btrfs still isn't that mature [03:48] yeah, quite a way to go [03:49] http://kqstor.com/ <-- I think those guys were working on ZFS on Linux at one point [03:49] but that type of design is the future of file storage [03:50] freeBSD supports ZFS but it's limited; the only way to run ZFS well is solaris/opensolaris [03:50] but then you have to run solaris [03:50] and, well, no thanks [03:51] Hah [04:07] New bug: #874760 in samba (main) "package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package samba is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed')" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/874760 [04:07] New bug: #874763 in samba (main) "package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package samba is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed')" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/874763 [04:10] Wow, that samba bug has been reported to death :| [04:14] anyone recomend a good benchmark for a new server install ?

[04:26] yeah, something to test filesystem speed, ram speed, some kind of cpu test [04:27] smw, something to put the hardware through a few stress tests, before i install it in the data center for a customer [04:28] osiris, I would test it how it will be used. [04:28] osiris, if it was a webserver, I would run my website on it and test how it handles load.

[13:58] patdk-lap, I am not sure, I know the samba server is running [13:58] you mounted the usb stick on the samba server?

[14:01] seems so [14:01] yes [14:01] rsync will be your friend now [14:01] well, shutting down the samba server is mostly optional, but would be nicer if you did :) [14:01] service samba stop [14:02] or service smbd stop [14:02] depending on your version [14:02] then, rsync :) [14:03] rsync -av /samba/share/location/ /media/usbstick [14:03] rsync copies files with attributes, usernames, and symbolic links intact. [14:03] patdk do you need "r" if you use av? [14:03] and will give a crapload of warnings when going to a fat32 system [14:03] or does 'a' already contain recursion? [14:03] martyn, a includes just about everything [14:03] except hardlinks [14:07] Think I've got it, fingers crossed [14:08] Time will tell, its listing everything in the shares [14:11] ok.... so i stopped, and then removed the md_d4, -stopped and removed my new assembled array, then went into the disk manager gui, pressed start on the original array, and it worked!!! [14:11] i'm happy, but terrified to reboot now [14:12] why would blkid not return a line for /dev/md3, but i can find the UUID in mdadm --detail?? [15:00] Hey all, I am having a video problem when installing Oneiric. It does not recognise the video mode 314 and when I try others, the display is skewd. I have come across this before, and I think it means that it is not compatable anymore? [15:12] hi i am new to linux. I have some question can any one explain me about this. "Linux is providing hacking tools, is the data is secured in linux. if yes how it will work again that hacking tools". [15:14] awanti: data is safe - hacking tools exist on all platforms [15:15] I thought this channel was for Ubuntu Server Support, not crackerling :-P *gigglez* [15:15] how its for business organizations. plz. could u explain me. [15:17] awanti: I do not understand your question. [15:21] since hacking tools are available in opens source, how linux os could be used to secure business organizations data.

[19:31] I've been trying to get sssd authentication working [19:31] and it looks like it broke my local user logins [19:32] It won't let my administrator user login, or perform sudo (I currently have an open session but sudo wont work in it...)

Weird thing is I didnt' really mess with any PAM stuff. I just did an apt-get install pam-sss, and played around with sssd configuration files [19:36] qman__: I have a "root" terminal open, but I still need to sudo [19:36] since theres no real root user in ubuntu [19:36] then it's not a root terminal [19:36] New bug: #875250 in samba (main) "package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package samba is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed')" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/875250 [19:36] how doyou get a root terminal in ubuntu [19:36] sudo -i [19:36] okay [19:37] this still seems broken that installing an ubuntu package can break login [19:37] it is, I'd report a bug against it if you're sure your changes to sssd didn't cause it [19:38] in any case, merely installing a new authentication method shouldn't disable the other ones [19:38] exactly [19:45] huh [19:45] a reboot fixed it [19:45] wtf [19:48] okay. So if sssd_pam is enabled, and the sssd daemon is NOT running, it breaks local login and sudo... [19:48] wtf... [19:51] qman__: thanks for the sudo -i tip [20:09] * hguy tried oneiric for a home server and shortly went back to lucid [20:17] when copying something to my current dest [20:17] is there an easier way of doing that, than having to type in my current dest manualyl? [20:18] if you mean the current directory, it's . [20:18] with name of the file etc [20:18] oh [20:18] thanks :) [20:18] worked [20:18] .. is parent, and ~ is home [20:18] never thought of using it that way :) [20:19] New bug: #875262 in php5 (main) "PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/sqlite.so'" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/875262 [22:08] I'm having an issue booting my ubuntu server after an upgrade. From the looks of it, it is trying to fsck /dev/sda1 (/boot), which is already mounted. How do I go about correcting this? [23:14] I just installed ubuntu server on an old celeron computer and it gives me the terminal with white background and black text with an unreadable font [23:15] like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-MGoQGtK1A [23:19] how can I get something human readable? [23:22] this is probably horrible advice, and closer to duct tape than a fix, but I've found setting /etc/init.d/console-setup to unreadable/unexecutable has vastly improved the font on a couple of older boxes [23:23] I never bothered tracking down what the actual cause was; they're firewalls, and don't need a screen after day 1 [23:23] depends on ubuntu version [23:23] but these days it turns on graphics mode [23:23] same case, I installed ssh during setup so monitor will never be needed [23:23] where older ones didn't [23:23]
