[00:03] <bfreis> l0n, did you manage to reproduce the problem?
[00:06] <l0n> just trying it now, not sure if this is going to work, I am just to run a VM inside a VM
[00:06] <l0n> just = trying
[00:08] <l0n> well that's sort of good, I've got the same problem
[00:09] <bfreis> Oh, I don't feel alone anymore
[00:09] <bfreis> lol
[00:09] <bfreis> :)
[00:10] <bfreis> You got the same message from the kernel?
[00:10] <l0n> yep
[00:11] <bfreis> did you use Eucalyptus or something else?
[00:12] <wmp> hello
[00:12] <wmp> i have server with only ipv6, what repository can connect with my server?
[00:12] <l0n> I just used plain old kvm with the cmd line that you pasted a while ago
[00:12] <bfreis> l0n, hmm ok
[00:20] <l0n> bfreis when you registered the image with Eucalyptus did you specify a kernel e.g. --kernel <eki-somethinghere> ?
[00:21] <bfreis> l0n this was done automatically by the uec-publish-tarball script
[00:21] <l0n> hmm, ok
[00:21] <bfreis> doing euca-describe-images I see that the kernel is correctly published, and the image is correctly configured to use the kernel
[00:24] <l0n> does it have the kernel filename?
[00:24] <bfreis> i don't understand
[00:24] <bfreis> where?
[00:24] <l0n> when you do a euca-describe-images, is the filename shown?
[00:25] <bfreis> IMAGE   emi-95C322B8    ebah-ubuntu-11.10-java-tomcat-amd64-20111126-1909/oneiric-server-cloudimg-amd64.img.manifest.xml        admin   available       public          x86_64machine eki-7A4827A0
[00:25] <bfreis> IMAGE   eki-7A4827A0    ebah-ubuntu-11.10-java-tomcat-amd64-20111126-1909/oneiric-server-cloudimg-amd64-vmlinuz-generic.manifest.xml    admin   available       public       x86_64   kernel
[00:25] <bfreis> well, that's not the original image
[00:25] <bfreis> IMAGE   emi-DB271F35    oneiric-server-cloudimg-amd64/oneiric-server-cloudimg-amd64.img.manifest.xml    admin   available       public          x86_64  machine eki-94B4240C
[00:25] <bfreis> IMAGE   eki-94B4240C    oneiric-server-cloudimg-amd64/oneiric-server-cloudimg-amd64-vmlinuz-generic.manifest.xml        admin   available       public          x86_64  kernel
[00:25] <bfreis> this is the original image
[00:25] <bfreis> you see, it references the kernel by "kernel id"
[00:25] <bfreis> eki-blah
[00:27] <l0n> hmm looks like the xml filename is derived from the kernel name - oneiric-server-cloudimg-amd64-vmlinuz-generic.manifest.xml
[00:27] <bfreis> certainly
[00:28] <l0n> not sure that is the right kernel, in the tar.gz that you download, you also get a oneiric-server-cloudimg-amd64-loader, have you got that ?
[00:28] <bfreis> yes, that is inside the tarball
[00:28] <bfreis> the tarball structure is exactly the same for natty and oneiric
[00:28] <l0n> and natty works?
[00:28] <bfreis> and I used the very same uec-publish-tarball to publish it
[00:28] <bfreis> yes
[00:28] <l0n> ah ok
[00:29] <bfreis> the problem is specific to oneiric
[00:30] <bfreis> actually, the *-loader files are exactly the same
[00:30] <bfreis> (well, more precisely, they have the same md5 hash)
[00:30] <bfreis> don't know if it is good or bad though
[00:30] <l0n> right, well I am now gonna give natty a go to make sure that does work
[00:30] <l0n> if it doesn't then our problems might be different
[00:31] <bfreis> great
[00:35] <bfreis> it looks like it is not an issue with Eucalyptus, but something specific to Ubuntu
[00:35] <bfreis> and now, if natty works for you, I'd say it is an issue specific to Ubuntu Oneiric's cloud image
[00:36] <l0n> natty isn't working for me so looks like I haven't yet managed to reproduce it
[00:36] <bfreis> oh damn
[00:36] <bfreis> what did it say?
[00:37] <l0n> natty also says it can't mount sda1
[00:37] <bfreis> holy crap!
[00:39] <l0n> don't worry, I am just doing something silly ;)
[00:39] <wmp> lol: http://wklej.org/id/635463
[00:40] <nebajoth> why are you using eucalyptus and not openstack?
[00:42] <bfreis> nebajoth, because it is a PITA to install openstack
[00:43] <bfreis> (before you ask, I don't own lots of boxes, just 4, so no orchestra+juju)
[00:43] <nebajoth> but you lose all future compatability and support
[00:44] <bfreis> nebajoth, the boxes serve only as VM hosts, I don't mind if they are not up to date, if they serve their purpose
[00:45] <bfreis> if you know an easy way to install openstack on 4 servers, I'd be glad to know how!
[00:49] <gllera> can i work with a vm on my pc and later put it on ec2??
[00:49] <l0n> bfreis can you start up a natty VM and paste me the output from ps (prob best in a PM) to show the command line?
[00:50] <bfreis> l0n, sure, just a sec
[00:50] <bfreis> l0n, I think it's almost the same thing
[00:50] <nebajoth> define easy :P
[00:51] <bfreis> nebajoth, as easy as Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud installation on Natty 11.04
[00:51] <bfreis> Shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours for someone who has never done it before
[00:51] <adam_g> utlemming: you around by chance?
[00:52] <bfreis> l0n, just sent you the kvm command line of one of my instances running a Natty image (not the original one, I tweaked it, but only slightly: installed some packages, etc)
[00:54] <bfreis> nebajoth, well, I already lost lots and lots of hours searching for a way to install it on 4 boxes with 1 nic each, but let's ignore this part :)
[00:54] <l0n> ok, shouldn't be a problem, I wouldn't have thought any packages would make a diff
[00:54] <bfreis> l0n, I can launch an original natty as well, but that shouldn't change the kvm command line
[00:54] <bfreis> eucalyptus won't know that it is an original or a modified image
[01:10] <afeijo> hi guys, what would be the better adduser parameters to create one user? I created one for me in a new linode server, but when I access it, it isn't reading the .bashrc file nor any file
[01:29] <l0n> afeijo how do you know it's not reading the .bashrc file or others?
[01:30] <afeijo> l0n, when I log in, the prompt has only "$", and no autocomplete thru tab, no aliases, etc.
[01:30] <afeijo> pretty naked
[01:30] <l0n> yeah I know what you mean, delete the user and try this.... (me looks through notes)
[01:31] <l0n> useradd -m USERNAME
[01:31] <l0n> you may also need to change bin/sh in /etc/pass to /bin/bash
[01:31] <l0n> for that new user
[01:32] <l0n> sorry /etc/passwd
[01:33] <afeijo> thanks!!
[01:34] <afeijo> l0n, now it is perfect
[01:34] <l0n> np :)
[01:34] <l0n> btw, the reason the files don't exist is because you didn't have any .bashrc etc files, the -m creates a home directory for the new user and copies /etc/skel into it
[01:36] <l0n> ok that was a bit of a broken statement but you get my meaning ;)
[01:36] <afeijo> yeah, I found that, I did try the -m yesterday, I saw a few files in /home/feijo, but the /bin/sh was the issue
[01:37] <l0n> aahh ok
[01:48] <afeijo> l0n, do you know how to install maria db?
[01:49] <l0n> nope never heard of it
[01:49] <afeijo> l0n, it is the new mysqldb after oracle bought it, the community got the available source and made mariadb, hehe
[01:50] <l0n> oh right cool
[01:51] <afeijo> too bad we do not have an apt-get install out of the box
[01:55] <l0n> they've got debs for Ubuntu on their site so shouldn't be too difficult
[01:56] <afeijo> I'll try again to add their deb lines into my source.list
[01:57] <l0n> or just download the debs and do: dpkg -i deb.dev
[02:15] <afeijo> got it thru apt-key :)
[03:26] <bfreis> Well, if there are people interested, l0n helped me track down the problem. Actually, Oneiric's x64 cloud image looks totally buggy. The kernel is wrong, /etc/fstab is totally broken (eg, the line that should mount the root file system lacks a mount point...), the file /etc/network/interfaces is buggy (does not configure eth0). I might be wrong, but I guess /etc/fstab and /etc/network/itnerfaces must be correctly set up for the image to work.
[03:26] <bfreis> let's file a bug...
[03:28] <bfreis> Well, where should I go to file a bug against the image?!
[03:29] <bfreis> OH YEAH, after I fixed the network, it looks like it is working!
[03:31] <bfreis> the instance booted properly, I can ssh into it
[03:31] <bfreis> I have no idea if everything is fine though...
[03:32] <bfreis> looks like Canonical uploaded the first crap they could put together to their servers, I cannot be sure that this image is correct now...
[03:34] <pmatulis> bfreis: if you found a bug then let people know, there's no need to get vulgar
[03:34] <bfreis> After all, it had nothing to do with Eucalyptus...
[03:34] <bfreis> Where should I report it?
[03:34] <bfreis> It is not a bug on any package, it is on the image file
[03:37] <bfreis> pmatulis, do you know where should I report this bug?
[03:37] <pmatulis> bfreis: against the ubuntu project
[03:37] <bfreis> do you know where exactly?
[03:37] <pmatulis> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug
[03:38] <jakupl> nebajoth, SpamapS: I installed dnsmasq on the server
[03:38] <jakupl> nebajoth, SpamapS: and it seems to work, when I try to use "dig www.webpage.com"
[03:39] <jakupl> nebajoth, SpamapS: But I don't quite understand... It just uses the dns server that the computer has used all the time right?
[03:39] <jakupl> nebajoth, SpamapS: and all it does is to cache the queries?
[03:40] <bfreis> Wow, it is REALLY hard to help...
[03:40] <bfreis> I'm trying to file the bug
[03:40] <bfreis> But I simply can't find how to do it
[03:41] <bfreis> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug redirects me to a huge page, with lots of texts, I just want a textarea to fill with all the information and what I did to solve the problem
[03:41] <bfreis> Isn't there any such form?!
[03:42] <pmatulis> bfreis: i have no idea what you're talking about.  the link i provided gives the most simle way to file a bug
[03:42] <pmatulis> *simple
[03:42] <jakupl> Does anyone feel like helping me understand dnsmasq?
[03:43] <bfreis> pmatulis, the link you provided me redirects me to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
[03:43] <pmatulis> bfreis: it doesn't for me (?)
[03:43] <bfreis> if I take out the +filebug part, there's a page with a "Report a bug" link, but this is the same as the other link, and redirects me to the same wiki page
[03:44] <bfreis> Well, looks like I have a new bug to report then, now against Launchpad, hehe
[03:45] <pmatulis> bfreis: maybe inquire in #launchpad
[03:45] <bfreis> You see what I mean when I say that it is hard to help?
[03:45] <pmatulis> bfreis: i seem to remember such a redirection
[03:45] <pmatulis> bfreis: looks like it, yes
[03:49] <bfreis> pmatulis, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect
[03:49] <bfreis> That is the trick
[03:49] <bfreis> people at #launchpad doesn't seem to be very helpful... it is a shame.
[03:51] <pmatulis> bfreis: i wonder why i don't get redirected
[03:51] <bfreis> Maybe because your account is "special". You work at Canonical, don't you?
[03:52] <bfreis> At "launchpad", I'm no one. I've once reported a bug against eucalyptus, that's all. Maybe I'm not trusted, so they redirect me to a page with loooooots of useless information :/
[03:53] <pmatulis> bfreis: it doesn't work that way
[03:55] <bfreis> Very strange
[03:55] <bfreis> a guy at #launchpad said: Ubuntu requested that people be forced to read the page first, because otherwise a lot of people file them improperly.
[04:24] <bfreis> pmatulis, I've finished writing the bug report, but it won't accept "ubuntu" as the package. What should I use instead?
[04:25] <bfreis> It is really a bug on the packaging of the image, it is not an specific package
[04:25] <bfreis> The other option is "i don't know the package", which is not actually the case
[04:26] <bfreis> well, damn it, I've lost too much time on it already. I will select "i don't know the package"
[04:30] <bfreis> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/896772
[04:41]  * SpamapS subscribes smoser and utlemming to that bug
[04:43] <SpamapS> bfreis: utlemming and/or smoser will likely be the best resources to help fix that.
[04:43] <SpamapS> bfreis: can you try the precise images?
[04:43] <SpamapS> bfreis: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/precise/current/
[05:18] <bfreis> SpamapS, I just tested it
[05:18] <bfreis> SpamapS, apparently the kernel is ok (it finds /dev/sda1), but the /etc/fstab is broken
[05:18] <bfreis> SpamapS, it says "mount: mount point ext4 does not exist", exactly as it did with Oneiric when before I fixed /etc/fstab
[05:28] <SpamapS> bfreis: that would be a nice data point for the bug comments. :)
[05:28]  * SpamapS disappears
[08:18] <koolhead17> hi all
[15:13] <koolhead17> hi all
[17:05] <Nelis> I'm having a problem booting from a raid1 array. During boot it drops to initramfs saying the boot device does not exist. I have no problems booting from a degraded array.
[17:27] <Nelis> looks like /dev/disk/by-uuid does not exist, which would explain why it can't boot. No partitions showing in /dev whatsoever.
[17:28] <tero> has anyone tried to install webmin on ubuntu server? any "hiccups" ?
[17:30] <qman__> !webmin | tero
[17:30] <dork> other than security no
[17:30] <dork> there's a huge negative connotation associated with webmin though
[17:30] <dork> has existed for over a decade
[17:31] <tero> crap :\
[17:31] <tero> client demands webmin
[17:31] <qman__> you can do it, but it isn't supported here
[17:31] <tero> this sux
[17:31] <dork> tero: if they're paying you to make themselves vulnerable, it just means future revenue for them
[17:31] <qman__> you will have to seek webmin-specific support
[17:31] <dork> so if they demand it, hook them up
[17:31] <dork> profit
[17:31] <dork> s/them/you
[17:31] <tero> well they really don't care about the OS
[17:31] <dork> i mean future revenue for you
[17:32] <tero> i guess i will have to use centos
[17:32] <dork> i've used webmin over centos
[17:32] <dork> i can't imagine it being any different than webmin over debian based oss
[17:33] <tero> ok thanx
[17:33] <dork> also 'isn't supported here' is stated in every irc channel on freenode
[17:33] <dork> so don't worry about 'support'
[17:33] <tero> we will see what can I do
[17:33] <tero> :)
[17:33] <dork> just make sure you lock it down
[17:33] <dork> it's a huge vulnerability
[17:35] <qman__> isn't supported here means just that, we can't help you if you broke your system by installing webmin
[17:36] <dork> which is in the topic of every channel on this network
[17:36] <dork>  i hear what you're saying though
[17:37] <qman__> we also can't help you if something else broke, but you have webmin installed
[17:37] <dork> it basically means 'we choose to not help you and then ridicule you when that time occurs'
[17:37] <qman__> no, it means we do not help you because webmin breaks things
[17:38] <dork> which can be said about anything
[17:38] <dork> it's selective prejudice
[17:38] <qman__> no, it isn't
[17:38] <dork> yes
[17:38] <dork> it is
[17:38] <dork> sorry.
[17:38] <dork> i don't mean to be inconvenient for you but that's pretty much what it is
[17:38] <qman__> there's a reason webmin is singled out
[17:38] <dork> if you don't want to help someone with webmin just shut up and don't say anything
[17:38] <qman__> it breaks things in weird ways that are difficult to troubleshoot
[17:38] <dork> no i realize that
[17:39] <dork> the same way someone might single out dovecot because it doesn't like it's pop3s implementation
[17:39] <dork> it's selective, it's freenode horse sht
[17:39] <dork> that's just how it s.
[17:39] <dork> man  need t oclean this keyboard out
[17:40] <qman__> dovecot is supported here, it's actually the default
[17:40] <dork> witty rebuttal
[17:41] <dork> who are you to determne what is and isn't supported
[17:41] <dork> is my point
[17:41] <qman__> I am not; the ubuntu devs are
[17:41] <qman__> packages in 'main' are supported officially
[17:41] <dork> nobody comes here or any other irc channel asking 'what are your thoughts on me using *'
[17:41] <dork> you should define that criteria then
[17:41] <dork> instead of dismissing people
[17:41] <qman__> packages in 'universe' are also generally supported here, but not officially
[17:41] <qman__> webmin is neither
[17:42] <dork> the best policy is to just stop running your mouth if you plan to not support something because you choose not to
[17:42] <dork> instead of this 'x is not supported'
[17:42] <qman__> sorry if it's not posted clearly enough, but that policy _is_ defined
[17:42] <dork> qman__: people like you ruin irc
[17:43] <dork> :)
[17:43] <qman__> you're giving bad advice by telling people to use packages that are not supported, in the support channel
[17:43] <dork> i answered his question
[17:43] <dork> which you did not
[17:43] <dork> you gave no advice.
[17:43] <dork> yet i'm villafied?
[17:43] <qman__> no advice is better than bad advice
[17:43] <dork> haha
[17:43] <qman__> because when he comes back here after webmin breaks his system, we can't help
[17:43] <dork> that's fucking stupid.
[17:44] <dork> he was made well aware of the negativity behind webmin
[17:44] <dork> not sure if you just missed that part
[17:44] <dork> or overlooked it
[17:44] <qman__> it's not about negativity, it's simple fact, webmin is not supported here, we don't help people with webmin here
[17:45] <dork> you don't support webmin
[17:45] <qman__> if he needs help with webmin, he needs to seek a webmin support channel
[17:45] <oCean> dork: control your language here, please
[17:45] <dork> he didn't ask for help regarding webmin on ubuntu
[17:45] <dork> he asked for input on webmin itself
[17:45] <qman__> that is exactly what he asked for
[17:45] <dork> oCean: will do.
[17:46] <dork> qman__: so you'd rather tell someone that webmin isn't supported versus webmin is a horrible idea?
[17:46] <qman__> I said both, and usually do
[17:46] <dork> wah wah.
[17:46] <qman__> if they stick around, I also usually advise on what they should do, but he was dead set on webmin
[17:46] <qman__> so I told him to seek a webmin channel
[17:49] <dork> understandable
[19:03] <swharper> hm - trying to connect to a media share ive setup on server.  mac is giving me the following error:  The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “media” can’t be found.
[19:03] <swharper> it sees the machine and the share
[19:11] <wolflkoder> hallo
[19:11] <wolflkoder> habe ein Problem bei der installation vom mt-daapd
[19:21] <cloakable> swharper: what server software?
[19:21] <swharper> 11.10
[19:22] <swharper> it is most likely a basic network issue
[19:22] <swharper> i am able to connect to my mac from the server via afp but not vice verca
[19:22] <swharper> id like to set up a samba share that is accessible to the rest of my network
[19:23] <cloakable> -are you using Samba or netatalk?-
[19:24] <cloakable> And if you're using a modern version of Mac OS, you can just use Samba.
[19:24] <Nelis> When trying to boot from raid1 my system drops to initramfs saying it can't find the boot device, which makes sense since the /dev/disk/by-uuid path does not exist and no partitions are available in /dev. Any ideas on how I can solve this?
[19:24] <swharper> well i installed ubuntu desktop - when i go to "sharing options" and check that box, I assume that is samba?
[19:25] <swharper> yeah i am...
[19:25] <cloakable> Yes
[19:25] <swharper> it is odd because it isnt recognizing the root or admin username/password combos
[19:25] <swharper> and guest access throws up an error
[19:26] <cloakable> Does the user 'nobody' have read access to the shared directory?
[19:26] <cloakable> And you can't connect to Samba as Root for security reasons iirc.
[19:27] <swharper> ah i see
[19:27] <swharper> well as my user account, the same applies
[19:27] <swharper> when i check the media properties, it shows my user account as the owner, and i have folder access set to "create and delete files" but it won't let me change the file access
[19:28] <swharper> well i guess thats only for files
[19:28] <swharper> not folders
[19:28] <swharper> group is my user name
[19:28] <swharper> could be the issue there
[19:29] <cloakable> Yeah. All that means is samba will let the guest account change stuff. Doesn't mean the underlying unix permissions will allow that.
[19:29] <swharper> what should the group be then?
[19:29] <swharper> nobody isnt an option in the dropdown
[19:30] <swharper> i should probably just go back to the cli
[19:30] <cloakable> Check the permissions on the folder. Is it something like rwxrwx---, or rwx------?
[19:30] <cloakable> swharper: The guest account on samba, by default, is the 'nobody' unix user.
[19:31] <swharper> permission is drwxrwxrwx
[19:31] <cloakable> Hmmmm.
[19:32] <cloakable> Underlying permissions are good then.
[19:32] <swharper> yeah…
[19:32] <cloakable> And you have allowed the guest account access?
[19:32] <swharper> id prefer to not have guest allowed
[19:32] <cloakable> Aha.
[19:32] <swharper> but my user isnt being granted access either
[19:32] <swharper> so i tried guest
[19:33] <swharper> im about 80% sure this is related to group permissions
[19:34] <swharper> since my user isnt being granted access
[19:34] <swharper> and im the creator
[19:34] <cloakable> You can't get more permissive than rwxrwxrwx
[19:35] <swharper> right…ok so how does it work from the client side?  the server doesnt show up at all when i browse the network
[19:35] <swharper> from the client
[19:36] <swharper> on the other hand, the server sees afp shares i have set up
[19:36] <cloakable> That -sounds- like a samba problem, honestly.
[19:37] <swharper> yeah
[19:37] <cloakable> Is samba running?
[19:37] <cloakable> Can you browse to smb://127.0.0.1 on the desktop?
[19:38] <swharper> christ i hope its not that basic…checking
[19:41] <swharper> hm
[19:42] <swharper> i had samba install when i installed the server
[19:42] <swharper> OS
[19:45] <swharper> yes i can
[19:45] <swharper> shows the media share
[19:45] <swharper> now when i try to open the media share the same issue arises
[19:45] <swharper> my username/password combo doesnt work
[19:45] <swharper> this is locally
[19:59] <Nelis> When trying to boot from raid1 my system drops to initramfs saying it can't find the boot device, which makes sense since the /dev/disk/by-uuid path does not exist and no partitions are available in /dev. Any ideas on how I can solve this?
[20:47] <stiv2k> hi
[20:47] <stiv2k> for some reason i cannot write to all of my samba shares other than the homes share
[20:48] <stiv2k> all my shares have guest ok = yes and
[20:48] <patdk-lap> guest ok = yes != writable
[20:48] <patdk-lap> you have to make sure the linux guest user that guest gets mapped to, has write permissions
[20:48] <stiv2k> writbale = yes
[20:49] <patdk-lap> and that in samba, the guest user also has write permission
[20:49] <stiv2k> that sounds unnecessarily complex
[20:49] <stiv2k> ok let me see the guest user info
[20:51] <stiv2k> hm my config file must not have all the params in it
[20:51] <stiv2k> patdk-lap: do you know what parts of smb.conf are for the guest user
[20:53] <qman__> guest write is usually a really bad idea so it's difficult to enable
[20:56] <qman__> do you actually want guest write, or do you just want users to be able to write?
[20:59] <RoyK> stiv2k: it's NOT unnecessary complex, it's how unix is built. If you want to break security etc, just chmod 777 /whatever/dir/is/shared/with/samba
[21:00]  * guntbert whistles a warning tune
[21:13] <stiv2k> RoyK: qman__: well, samba is not accessible outside my LAN, so how is it so dangerous?
[21:14] <qman__> it's dangerous because of anyone or anything that can get inside your LAN
[21:14] <stiv2k> hmm ok
[21:14] <qman__> common vectors include wireless access points, or especially if it's a laptop
[21:15] <stiv2k> so ill just stick with guest read and user write
[21:15] <stiv2k> but i think i am actually already logged in
[21:15] <stiv2k> since i see my home directory share
[21:15] <qman__> less common but equally possible are viruses and similar attacks
[21:15] <stiv2k> i still cannot write to other shares
[21:15] <swharper> what is the advantage of configuring ldap with samba as opposed to simply setting up users/permissions within samba?
[21:15] <qman__> in order to write to the other shares, your user needs to have local write access to the shared folder locations
[21:16] <qman__> you can fix that by changing the permissions or owner/group-owner of the directory
[21:16] <stiv2k> okay let me check that
[21:16] <stiv2k> one sec
[21:16] <stiv2k> yeah that must be it
[21:16] <stiv2k> the shares are owned by debian-transmission:debian-transmission
[21:17] <qman__> in this particular case, I suggest one of two solutions
[21:17] <stiv2k> group which i am not a part of
[21:17] <qman__> either change the group-owner of all the files to your user's group, or add your user to the debian-transmission group
[21:17] <qman__> the latter is preferable for usability since new files are probably going to be created with those permissions
[21:17] <stiv2k> ok
[21:18] <stiv2k> thanks for the tip :)
[21:18] <qman__> you may have to log out/log back in for the change to take effect
[21:18] <qman__> in the case of samba, that'd mean disconnecting from the server and reconnecting with it asking for login
[21:20] <stiv2k> qman__: in this case do you think a file permission of 660 is safe
[21:20] <qman__> swharper, the advantages of ldap include one set of users/passwords, eliminating smbpasswd, and being able to use the same users and passwords across the network on multiple servers and clients, single-sign-on
[21:20] <qman__> yes
[21:20] <stiv2k> and directory permission of 770
[21:20] <swharper> hm
[21:20] <swharper> thx
[21:20] <qman__> yes
[21:21] <qman__> to be reasonably secure, you just want to make sure guests can't write, and can't get to private data
[21:21] <qman__> and that system accounts like debian-transmission can't log in over the network
[21:21] <qman__> which they can't by default
[21:22] <stiv2k> cool
[21:22] <stiv2k> here is how i set up the shares http://fpaste.org/mVRo/
[21:22] <qman__> looks good, one trick you may want to use is the 'force group' option
[21:23] <qman__> if you have more than one user using files, that causes new files to be created with a specific group owner, so other users can then read and possibly write to files and folders created that way
[21:24] <stiv2k> where can i read more about this
[21:24] <qman__> IIRC the samba manual explains it pretty well
[21:24] <stiv2k> i wonder if i need to end my screen session to make the group add to take effect
[21:25] <qman__> http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html#FORCEGROUP
[21:27] <stiv2k> brb
[21:29] <stiv2k> ok that worked, now to log out from the windows session
[21:38] <stiv2k> wtf
[21:39] <stiv2k> qman__: either i cant terminate the windows connection or... i still cant write
[21:40] <qman__> stiv2k, have you restarted samba?
[21:42] <stiv2k> i guess thats a good way to do it
[21:50] <stiv2k> qman__: it works :)
[21:50] <stiv2k> thank you
[21:51] <srk9> Why doesn't ubuntu-10.04.3-server-i386.manifest exist?
[22:03] <stiv2k> qman__: i noticed a share called 'homes' showed up
[22:04] <stiv2k> can i make this not show up, as there is already a share with my user name that is my home directory
[22:04] <qman__> probably a mistake in your configuration file, it doesn't normally show
[22:05] <qman__> if you pastebin the whole thing I can probably find it
[22:17] <stiv2k> it just appeared i think
[22:19] <stiv2k> http://fpaste.org/2fU8/
[22:20] <stiv2k> is it the browseable = yes of the home directories share?
[22:57] <lwizardl> Hello
[23:02] <Nelis> I can't seem to boot from my software raid1 array unless it's degraded. When being dropped to initramfs blkid only lists sda:"promise_fasttrack_raid_member" and /dev/disk/by-uuid/ does not exist. Any ideas on how to solve this?
[23:47] <chronos> hello.
[23:47] <chronos> how I can set my ubuntu server to use a wireless connection?
