Monotoko | julian_c, what would 775 be in umask form? | 00:03 |
---|---|---|
julian_c | 002 | 00:04 |
Monotoko | thanks! | 00:04 |
julian_c | That would make directories 775, and files 664. | 00:04 |
Monotoko | hmm... '-U <umask for files>:<umask for dirs>' | 00:05 |
julian_c | Just saw that pure-ftpd does different masks for files and directories. | 00:05 |
Monotoko | aye just seen :P | 00:05 |
julian_c | So it would be '-U 133:022' | 00:05 |
julian_c | Oops... 113:002 | 00:06 |
Monotoko | excellent! That will mean both my apache user and the virtual user can create and modify files and directries, yes? | 00:07 |
julian_c | Correct. | 00:08 |
Monotoko | thank you julian_c, you've been an amazing help :) | 00:09 |
julian_c | You're welcome. | 00:09 |
julian_c | You're setting up both virtual users and regular system users? | 00:10 |
Monotoko | I think I'm going to go with just virtual unless a user requests a system user account... I'm going to shut off access to regular users | 00:11 |
Monotoko | just feels a bit more secure that way | 00:11 |
Monotoko | and means I don't need to keep adding apache to groups | 00:11 |
julian_c | Hopefully, all of this will work just fine with virtual users. | 00:12 |
Monotoko | well, my virtual users use UID & GID 2010... they are all under the "ftpuser" system account | 00:13 |
Monotoko | so it should be fine | 00:14 |
Monotoko | julian_c, sorry to bother you again... but any ideas how to run it with command-line options if I start it using "/etc/init.d/pure-ftp-mysql start" | 00:20 |
ermo | How do I interpret the Ubuntu kernel versions? And what do I do if I'd like to get the latest patches to the 3.0 kernel (i.e. 3.0.9) but with the ubuntu patchset/configuration? | 00:22 |
julian_c | I'd look in the /etc/default directory for a config file that deals with pure-ftpd. | 00:22 |
Monotoko | there's an option for standalone or initd.... I've changed it to standalone, how do I start it? | 00:24 |
ermo | nevermind, asking in #ubuntu-kernel instead :) | 00:24 |
julian_c | init.d or xinet.d? | 00:25 |
julian_c | Ah... found it. Yes... definitely go standalone. The init script will start up on its own upon (re)boot. | 00:28 |
Monotoko | julian_c, hmmm... standalone is making it do this: root@dragon:/etc/default# /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql start | 00:29 |
Monotoko | Starting ftp server: Running: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd-mysql -l mysql:/etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf -l pam -u 1000 -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -E -A -j -8 UTF-8 -B | 00:29 |
Monotoko | how do I change what it's running? | 00:29 |
Monotoko | so I can add my umask? | 00:29 |
Monotoko | there doesn't seem to be anything in /etc/default apart from one file to do with it, pure-ftpd-common with a few options in it | 00:30 |
julian_c | You should also have a '/etc/pure-ftpd/conf' directory. | 00:36 |
Monotoko | I do... but there's loads of files in here that just have "yes" or "no" in them | 00:36 |
julian_c | If it's not already in that directory, create the file '/etc/pre-ftpd/conf/Umask' with the contents "133 022". | 00:38 |
julian_c | Then, restart the service. The init script should source the new file, along with the other files in that directory. | 00:38 |
Monotoko | julian_c, it worked! :D | 00:39 |
julian_c | Glad to see that. | 00:40 |
Monotoko | thank you ^^ for future ref... where did you find that info? | 00:40 |
julian_c | I went to packages.ubuntu.com to figure out where all the config files were. Other than that, a bit of Googling. | 00:40 |
julian_c | I recommend the following search term in Google: "/etc/pure-ftpd/conf" umask | 00:44 |
julian_c | One of the results at the top is a good HOWTO for Debian/Ubuntu that shows more config examples. | 00:45 |
Monotoko | julian_c, thank you.. I'm surprised there isn't one place with them all on o.o | 00:47 |
Monotoko | good night all! | 00:50 |
julian_c | Bye. | 00:50 |

kklimonda | hmm, should chsh and chfn work with ldap? | 01:19 |
julian_c | kklimonda: I'd look for LDAP-aware versions of those applications. | 01:21 |
julian_c | (if they exist) | 01:22 |
kklimonda | heh, at least I'm not going to waste another hour wondering what's wrong with my setup that it doesn't work ;) | 01:23 |
julian_c | Perhaps look at the "libuser" package... | 01:25 |
ceej | hey, can anyone help me with https://gist.github.com/1a816ceba7b040e3549c | 01:56 |
CarlFK | how do I set good ol 80x25 mode? | 02:05 |
CarlFK | and see the grub menu | 02:06 |
kklimonda | ceej: the message is rather self explanatory. You have probably had mysql 5.5+ installed and now trying to do a de facto downgrade to 5.1 - if that's really what you want to do you have to remove mentioned files and try again. | 02:22 |
ceej | kklimonda: I tried removing /var/lib/mysql/debian-*.flag with no luck | 02:24 |
kklimonda | ceej: what does ls /var/lib/mysql/debian-*.flag say? | 02:25 |
kklimonda | CarlFK: you can get grub menu by editing /etc/default/grub | 02:25 |
CarlFK | kklimonda: i have lost track of how many times I have edited it, and then sudo grub-mkconfig && sudo reboot | 02:26 |
CarlFK | and yet no menu. | 02:26 |
CarlFK | GRUB_TERMINAL=console lies. | 02:26 |
kklimonda | it should be enough to comment out GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT and leave GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 | 02:28 |
kklimonda | as for getting old console - maybe some module loads and sets up a framebuffer? but really, if it's not slow then why bother getting back in time ;) | 02:29 |
CarlFK | once it boots, I get a blank screen. hit alt-f1 to get tty1. but it is in some small font that is hard to read | 02:30 |
kklimonda | try booting with nomodeset | 02:32 |
CarlFK | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset" ? | 02:33 |
kklimonda | I'd just edit entry directly in grub and boot it | 02:34 |
kklimonda | and if it works add it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT | 02:34 |
kklimonda | on the other hand adding it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX would also change recovery entry so it may be a better place | 02:36 |
CarlFK | well, getting it to work is a good first step | 02:36 |
CarlFK | I have been doing: sudo grub-mkconfig && sudo reboot | 02:36 |
CarlFK | but looking at /etc/default/grub I am wondering if my edits are having any effect | 02:37 |
kklimonda | I always use update-grub | 02:38 |
kklimonda | but grub-mkconfig seems to source /etc/default/grub so it should also work | 02:39 |
CarlFK | someting doesn't | 02:40 |
kklimonda | (which makes sense given that update-grub is just a thin wrapper over grub-mkconfig) | 02:40 |
Dulcin | Is anyone familiar with the sender id framework? I keep getting temperror results from hotmail, while it does pass in other checks. I've registered my spf record with microsoft over a week ago as well and still the same error. | 02:40 |
CarlFK | update-grub got me my 80x25 linux console back | 02:40 |
Dulcin | i've googled my ass off, but can only find people with similar problems and no solutions | 02:41 |
CarlFK | and now I have a grub menu | 02:42 |
CarlFK | and it beeped too. | 02:42 |
Zanzacar | I want to allow a user to read the apache logs and the only way I know how is to log in as root which isnt right | 06:15 |
qman__ | two options | 06:17 |
qman__ | one, set apache to log to a file the user can read for the sites desired | 06:17 |
qman__ | two, set up sudoers to allow that user to sudo for just that command | 06:17 |
Zanzacar | thats what I have been doing is sudo ./scritp etc etc etc but that give read write access which isnt good since its I am not a great programmer and could mess things up | 06:19 |
Zanzacar | There is a group called apache how can I tell what it has access it? | 06:22 |
qman__ | apache runs as www-data, however that's a bad plan as www-data has access to all the files apache does | 06:23 |
qman__ | you don't grant general sudo permission for everything, you narrow it to the specific command | 06:23 |
qman__ | i.e., create a script which does exactly what you want the user to do, then grant the user sudo permission only to run that script | 06:23 |
Zanzacar | I guess that works, I just thought that it wouldnt be good to all the script to read and write instead of ust read. | 06:27 |
Zanzacar | the script is in python and I open the files as read only so I guess it isnt that harmful | 06:28 |
qman__ | you make it so the user does not have the ability to write to the script | 06:29 |
qman__ | then, the user can run the script as root, and it will always do what you expect | 06:29 |
qman__ | there are other ways to do it, but this is the simplest as it does not require modifying any of the existing things | 06:30 |
qman__ | it just adds a new script, and adds a new permission | 06:30 |
Zanzacar | so how do I do that? change chmod of the script? or just run it with sudo? | 06:32 |
qman__ | just change the permissions on the script so the user in question only has read and execute, not write | 06:33 |
qman__ | and then give that user permission to run that script as root in sudoers | 06:33 |
Zanzacar | gotcha that makes since | 06:34 |
Zanzacar | cool that is the way I have it setup already :) | 06:34 |
qman__ | from there, the only real vector of attack would be exploiting your script into running arbitrary code | 06:37 |
qman__ | but as long as you keep it fairly simple that should not be an issue | 06:37 |
Zanzacar | well I am the only one how has a login, and all it does is data mine information for the access logs | 06:37 |
Zanzacar | its for www.engineeringmaps.com and if you search for something I can see what your IP is, the date, and the search value | 06:39 |

RoyK | EMKO: no, but there might be packages out there somewhere | 09:19 |

RoyK | !bug | 09:21 |
ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 09:21 |
RoyK | EMKO: seems there's talk about it already in bug #690925 | 09:24 |
uvirtbot | Launchpad bug 690925 in mysql-5.1 "Package MySQL 5.5.x for Ubuntu" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/690925 | 09:24 |
EMKO | oh | 09:25 |
EMKO | so when it comes out it will be for 12.04 ? | 09:26 |
RoyK | looks like it | 09:26 |
RoyK | what's so new and shiny in 5.5, btw? | 09:27 |
EMKO | i dont know but im using it for some time on windows | 09:27 |
* RoyK tends to stick to postgresql unless he really has to use toys like mysql for production | 09:27 | |
EMKO | i think 5.5 has been out since 2010 | 09:28 |
RoyK | yeah, saw that, but what's new in it? | 09:34 |
RoyK | scales better, it seems | 09:35 |
RoyK | I'd still use psql over mysql any day if I could choose... | 09:35 |
RoyK | but then, systems like wordpress that are tied head and tail to mysql are ugly and can't be easily supported with anything else... | 09:43 |
RoyK | whoever hardcodes anything to a particular DBMS these days must be either very lazy, must like that particular DBMS very much, or be outright stupid..... | 09:44 |
EMKO | i think im just gona use 5.1 untill ubuntu gets 5.5 hopefully it will be easy to upgrade | 09:45 |
EMKO | so if its for 12.04 only will i have to reinstall ubuntu or can i upgrade 11.10 to 12.04 from 11.10 | 09:48 |
RoyK | just do-release-upgrade | 09:56 |
RoyK | EMKO: also, if it's a server you're installing, I'd recommend using the latest LTS release, 10.04 | 09:56 |
RoyK | things are far better tested there than in 11.10 | 09:56 |
EMKO | oh | 09:56 |
RoyK | and 10.04 will upgrade to 12.04 directly when the latter is released (since that'll be an LTS as well) | 09:56 |
RoyK | I only use LTS releases for servers - for good reason | 09:57 |
EMKO | so 11.10 will update to 12.04 with that command when its out? i realy dont want to reinstall it took me a lot of time to figure out how to install and configure stuff | 09:58 |
RoyK | you won't have to reinstall | 09:58 |
EMKO | hows that? i can go from 11.10 to 10.04 | 09:59 |
RoyK | and if you're already on 11.10 and have spent some time tuning the system, just use it on that release | 09:59 |
RoyK | you can't downgrade | 09:59 |
EMKO | oh ok then i will wait for 12.04 upgrade to that and stick with it untill next LTS | 09:59 |
RoyK | EMKO: by default, upgrading to an LTS will set Prompt=lts in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades, so after upgrading to 12.04LTS a do-release-upgrade won't do much unless you change prompt to 'normal' | 10:01 |
EMKO | promt=lts make it only upgrade to lts? | 10:02 |
RoyK | yes | 10:02 |
RoyK | so once on 12.04, and prompt=lts, it won't do a release upgrade until 14.04 comes around | 10:03 |
EMKO | well then i will stay with that so i only upgrade to lts | 10:03 |
RoyK | yes | 10:03 |
RoyK | lts is fairly safe | 10:03 |
dassouki | upgrading my distro from 10.4 to 11.4 is a bit of a challenge, after I did the apt-get update, do-release-upgrade, most packages were downloaded and installed. The install claims it was successful except for a few packages that it couldn't install | 11:10 |
dassouki | when I do cat /etc/release it still says i'm on 10.4 and i can't apt-get anything although i tried autoremove -f install and autoclean but it seems to be stuck on two othree packages | 11:10 |
dassouki | slapd, libgdal (gis library), and python-apt | 11:11 |
RoyK | dassouki: remove the packages and reinstall them | 11:37 |
RoyK | dassouki: your distro will be on 10.10 after the initial do-release-upgrade, and you'll need to re-run it to get to 11.04 and then again to get to 11.10 | 11:38 |
dassouki | ok | 11:56 |
dassouki | RoyK: everytime I try to uninstall any of the packages it lists 20 or so packages to be removed and some of htem are core | 11:57 |
RoyK | ouch | 12:16 |
RoyK | dassouki: can you pastebin the output from "apt-get dist-upgrade"? | 12:16 |

dsirijus | hey, where is console-data? | 18:43 |
dsirijus | no package found, reports apt-get | 18:43 |
CarlFK | apt-cache policy console-data; 2:1.10-9 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/universe i386 Packages | 18:44 |
dsirijus | CarlFK: ? | 18:45 |
CarlFK | that's where it is? | 18:45 |
qman__ | CarlFK, tarvid: cat ubuntu-11.10-server-i386.iso | sudo tee /dev/sdc | 18:45 |
tarvid | won't that dump 712MB of gibberish to the screen | 18:46 |
qman__ | no, that is functionally the same as using > | 18:46 |
qman__ | that's just how you do it with sudo, instead of using a root terminal | 18:46 |
lifeless | no its not | 18:46 |
lifeless | tee - read from standard input and write to standard output and files | 18:47 |
lifeless | ... | 18:47 |
lifeless | Copy standard input to each FILE, and also to standard output. | 18:47 |
CarlFK | fight fight! | 18:47 |
lifeless | cat ubuntu-11.10-server-i386.iso | sudo dd of=/dev/sdc bs=65536 | 18:47 |
dsirijus | CarlFK: i found it here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/console-data | 18:47 |
dsirijus | and i use 64 bit system | 18:47 |
dsirijus | and i don't have a clue how to get it if it doesn't come up with apt-get install | 18:47 |
tarvid | the problem is the geometry is now hosed | 18:48 |
qman__ | fdisk | 18:48 |
tarvid | fdisk -i /dev/sdc never returns | 18:49 |
dsirijus | i'm basically having problem with putty on win 7 not displaying some characters properly on remote ubuntu 11.04 server | 18:49 |
qman__ | if it's being difficult, zero then fdisk | 18:49 |
qman__ | if that doesn't work, the hardware's probably bad | 18:49 |
dsirijus | so, i just presume console-data will help me | 18:49 |
CarlFK | I don't think there is a need for fdisk | 18:49 |
tarvid | -i no longer works in fdisk | 18:49 |
qman__ | I don't know what -i does | 18:49 |
CarlFK | much like not needing to fdisk a blank cd | 18:49 |
tarvid | how do I get/set the geometry? | 18:50 |
qman__ | sdc is a CD device? | 18:50 |
tarvid | maxell USB stick | 18:50 |
qman__ | flash drives (can) have partitions just like hard drives | 18:51 |
qman__ | and fdisk should work normally, but according to the manual, -i is not an fdisk option | 18:51 |
tarvid | fdisk will let me set the geometry, now I have to guess what a 2GB stick should look like | 18:51 |
CarlFK | qman__: and you can clone 2 drives without using fdisk on the target | 18:51 |
qman__ | so I don't know what you are trying to use it to do | 18:51 |
tarvid | trying to recover from usb-creator-gtk destroying the geometry in my usb memory stick | 18:52 |
CarlFK | the goal is to get the first byte of ubuntu-11.10-server-i386.iso written to the first byte of the usb stick.. repeat... | 18:52 |
CarlFK | have you given up trying to boot from the usb stick? | 18:53 |
tarvid | the usb stick is basically unwriteable beyond 2MB | 18:53 |
qman__ | Disk /dev/sdc: 2003 MB, 2003795968 bytes | 18:54 |
qman__ | 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243 cylinders | 18:54 |
qman__ | that's a 2GB flash drive I have | 18:54 |
tarvid | I'll try it | 18:55 |
qman__ | since geometry is largely for compatibility reasons anymore, setting yours the same should work | 18:55 |
CarlFK | qman__: why bother setting it? | 18:55 |
qman__ | if the geometry is wrong, weird things can happen | 18:56 |
qman__ | my point is, almost all new drives have the same geometry settings | 18:56 |
qman__ | because they're not actually relevant on a hardware level | 18:56 |
qman__ | but when set wrong, you can get miscommunication and some strange results | 18:57 |
CarlFK | huh | 18:57 |
CarlFK | im still skeptical it is relevant to this problem | 18:58 |
qman__ | odds are the flash drive is toasted | 18:58 |
qman__ | but it's worth a try | 18:58 |
tarvid | I'm going to exchange it | 18:59 |
tarvid | This is silly | 18:59 |
qman__ | I recently ran into geometry issues when I set up my file server, some of the drives had wrong geometry and so the available space was wrong | 18:59 |
tarvid | q | 19:00 |
EMKO | what does failed length mean in ab | 19:06 |
tarvid | back with a fresh sticdk showing Public and mac and xp directories | 19:09 |
tarvid | how should I try writing ubuntu to this stick | 19:09 |
dsirijus | ok, i've isolated my problem to following - i cannot input foreign characters in putty but i can paste them in... | 19:10 |
tarvid | or do I just run the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator program again | 19:11 |
dsirijus | anyone here actually using putty to administer server from windows? | 19:15 |
tarvid | only when I absolutely have to | 19:18 |
EMKO | whats wrong with putty | 19:18 |
tarvid | when I have to run windows I do it in a VM with Virtualbox | 19:19 |
tarvid | Putty is just as wonderful as Windows | 19:19 |
tarvid | But I have to admit Unity makes XP look good | 19:21 |
tarvid | in which package do I report the Startup Disk Creator Bug? | 19:23 |
tarvid | Ah, I'll bet I lost the Authenticate window the first time | 19:24 |
tarvid | And I'll let the Upgrade volume detected window hang | 19:26 |
qman__ | I've used the startup disk creator several times with success | 19:28 |
jelly-home | dsirijus: I'd suggest using UTF-8 translation on putty, and using some utf8 locale on the remote machine. "locale -a" will give a list of currently enabled locales. | 19:30 |
dsirijus | jelly-home: i'm using en-US.UTF-8 locale on server, and UTF-8 translation on putty | 19:30 |
jelly-home | dsirijus: ok, and does locale -a show something like "en_US.utf8" ? | 19:31 |
dsirijus | jelly-home: yes | 19:31 |
jelly-home | dsirijus: then en_US.UTF-8 (note the third character is an underscore) ought to work | 19:31 |
dsirijus | jelly-home: i guess it doesn't :( | 19:32 |
jelly-home | dsirijus: how exactly does it fail? | 19:32 |
dsirijus | i cannot input ćčđ, and can žš | 19:33 |
dsirijus | and i can paste in any | 19:33 |
jelly-home | dsirijus: interesting choice of characters. There is a #ubuntu-hr channel as well. | 19:34 |
EMKO | what else is there for windows other then putty? | 19:34 |
tarvid | it is downhill from putty | 19:35 |
EMKO | oh | 19:35 |
dsirijus | should i jump to #ubuntu-hr then? | 19:35 |
tarvid | I like jelly-home's suggestion on URF-8 | 19:35 |
tarvid | UTF | 19:35 |
jelly-home | dsirijus: if it's easier for you to explain the issue in your native language, sure ;-) | 19:35 |
dsirijus | jelly-home: how come you know for croatian chars? | 19:36 |
jelly-home | dsirijus: /whois jelly-home | 19:36 |
EMKO | im croatian | 19:36 |
dsirijus | great then :) | 19:36 |
dsirijus | i had Dželalija as my high-school physics teacher | 19:37 |
dsirijus | she was awesome | 19:37 |
jelly-home | EMKO: well you could join the local channel then, too, if you wished | 19:37 |
dsirijus | ok, i'm moving to -hr then | 19:37 |
EMKO | naa more people here | 19:37 |
jelly-home | dsirijus: is there usage of screen involved as well? | 19:38 |
dsirijus | no, but is planned | 19:38 |
jelly-home | EMKO: you can be in more than one channel at the same time. A novel approach! | 20:05 |
three18ti | how do I reset an orchestra login? I reset the cobbler login, but when I try to login through http://example.com/cobbler_web with my newly reset username/password it returns me to the login screen. | 20:28 |
three18ti | this is a fresh install, so if I have to reinstall the meta-package I can... but it seems like there should be a way to add/remove/modify user logins... | 20:30 |
tarvid | Thanks CarlFK and everybody, the install is complete, have a hunch the grub install authorization message got lost in the desktop and the erase in startup disk creator hammeded the USB stick | 20:32 |
