iBaer  So this OpenVPN seems pretty difficult - When reading 1 article, mid way through, it directs me to do something with requires more research, which then that research directs me else where00:15
fishsceneI never did get openVPN working, but that was a few years ago.00:15
iBaerso far I've gone from OpenVPN, to Bridge VPN ...00:16
fishsceneI haven't bothered since as I've found other ways (like SSH) which are far easier for me.00:16
matocmaybe you guys need to try ebox or something...00:16
matocor webmin...00:17
iBaerLike i mentioned, I can access my home server via SSH through putty on client machine.00:17
iBaerbut that doesnt give access the the samba share or file00:17
matociBaer: did you follow the SMB over SSH guide I posted earlier?00:17
iBaerand with all the garbage on the internet its becoming more and more difficult to find useful informtion00:18
iBaerMatoc: Im sorry, i must have missed that00:18
HaltingStatehelp; during installation, it hit enter at the screen "install common servers" and did not select lamp/ssh; is there a tool i can run to have those installed or do i have to redo installation or01:49
KoolaidJunkieuse sudo apt-get install lamp01:50
iBaershould run apt-get update01:51
iBaerand apt-get upgrade01:51
iBaerfirst01:51
HaltingStatethanks01:52
KoolaidJunkienp01:52
KoolaidJunkieSSH would be sudo apt-get install openssh01:53
matocHaltingState: I usually use sudo tasksel01:54
KoolaidJunkieor that01:54
HaltingStatematoc, thx; exactly what i was looking for02:15
HaltingStatewhat is the command line gui app for configuring network with dhcp02:17
matocHaltingState: "dhclient eht0" but you need to set it in /etc/network/interface for it to stick after reboot02:20

ubottuUbuntu server does not install a desktop environment or X11 by default in order to enhance security, efficiency and performance.  !eBox provides a GUI system management option via a web interface.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI for more background and options.07:42
koolhead11needhelp1: hope this helps!! :)07:42
needhelp1koolhead11, shouldnt i be able to run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop07:53
needhelp1without error?07:53
_rubenwhy not just (re)install using the ubuntu desktop cd instead of server, as you seem to want to turn it into a desktop anyway?07:58
magicblaze007any apache gurus here? Does anyone know how to point http://myapp.example.com to http://localhost:8012 when both these are known after the webserver has starteed, and i dont want to restart the webserver.08:01
skyionHi There, does anyone know if there is a ubuntu equivalent to http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:KIWI that acts as an imaging system?08:27

thesheff17is it possible to have KVM pass through CPU virtualization to the guest OS?12:01
_rubenrather doubt that12:02
thesheff17it just for testing12:02
thesheff17basically need to test windows 2008 hyper V crap12:02
thesheff17and I don't have an extra machine12:02
thesheff17I actually have seen an amazon EC2 instance running KVM so I know it is possible...but maybe it is just a feature of xen.12:07
uksysadminthesheff17, you need to have an amd chip to do nested virtualization12:24
uksysadminnot sure if kvm specifically supports it - but you also need the underlying hardware to support it first12:25
thesheff17uksysadmin, ah cool12:27
thesheff17of course I have a ton of Intel chips :-/12:27
thesheff17actually I do have some AMD servers with Ubuntu...I will have to test it. Thanks.12:28
patdk-wkheh? all intel chips that do VT support it12:52
patdk-wkpretty sure amd does also, but not so sure about them12:52
patdk-wkthe issue is, how the vm software was made, it has to be adjusted to do that12:53
uksysadminpatdk-wk, its not VT, its nested virtualization support under Linux.  AMD yes, Intel, not yet.13:12
patdk-wkthat isn't the fault of the hardware though13:12
patdk-wkintel has always supported 3 or was it 4 rings13:12
uksysadminnobody said it was - its kernel support13:12

iggi_I'm having some trouble resizing an Ubuntu-Server LVM, I resized the partition and it is in fact bigger, but when I run pvresize I get that the physical volume changed, but when I run pvdisplay it still shows that it is the original (non-expanded) size.20:07
iggi_I should clarify I'm using gparted live CD to expand the LVM, latest version. and the machine is a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS machine.20:08
matocI've never had much luck with gparted. Never seemed to do what it advertised... I would use the command line to do what you're trying.20:09
iggi_I am using the command line, gparted just happens to be the only live cd I have on hand without downloading another iso20:13
cwillu_at_workah, gparted as in the livecd, not the program20:13
iggi_yeah since gparted does not allow you to mess with LVM's directly. The only thing I used gparted for was to expand the extended partition.20:15
iggi_or at least on the version included in the live cd20:15

Resistanceanyone know how I can manually map a sector on a drive as bad?  an individual sector, not a partition.23:15
Resistancei have the sector number from the kernel yelling about I/O errors on a sector23:15
matocRoyK: I would recommend going straight to a movie editor and making a movie. Maybe try PiTiVi or Kdenlive...23:17
matocResistance: I've often found that it's a good practice to replace a drive with bad sectors on a server. I've seen it before where just a few bad sectors became a lot of bad sectors very quickly. Other than that, I don't know how to do what you're asking.23:21
Resistancematoc:  this isnt necessarily for a server, but if it were on my server, i'd have swapped out the bad drive (because the RAID array would be degraded)23:22
matoccan you not just run fsck and let it automatically find and mark the bad sectors?23:23
Resistanceif you give me the fsck command to run, sure... lemme find my liveusb though so i'm not running on the active partition ;P23:24
matocwhat is the filesystem type? ext_, xfs?23:25
Resistancematoc:  ext423:26
Resistancethe system i'm running this on isnt the RAID array ;P23:26
Resistancematoc:  i'm going to reboot, but my ZNC will log the messages you send me :)23:27
matocI think this should work: fsck.ext4 -p /dev/sdX23:32
Resistanceoh... i remember this issue i'm having now23:33
Resistancedamn it, the liveusb is mounting things23:33
matoc"umount" them once it's booted.23:34
Resistancesystem's returning them as "not mounted"23:34
Resistancestill wont let me run23:34
Resistancei've seen this before23:34
Resistancei think i ended up hooking the drive up via USB to another system to make this work23:34
matocwhy not run repair mode from the alternate CD or something?23:34
* Resistance grumbles23:34
Resistancematoc, i am running a smart self-test via disk utility in the liveusb23:41
Resistancehopefully all goes well23:42
matocI'm not sure that a SMART test will actually "fix" the problem... It usually just tells you if there's a problem or not.23:43
Resistancewell if there is a problem it'll find it, considering its reporting 0 bad sectors as it is23:43
Resistancegrrr23:45
Resistanceits automounting /cdrom23:45
Resistancethat's a problem23:45
matocweird. what live-cd(USB) are you running?23:45
Resistancematoc, natty, same as the system is running23:49
matocRsistence: in this the server or desktop edition?23:49
Resistancethis is running off of desktop edition, but the answer i got in #ubuntu was "We don't know"23:51
Resistanceah, wait a second, there...23:52
matocI would be using the alternate or server ISO and booting up in rescue mode. That way nothing on your system get mounted unless you manually tell it to.23:52
Resistanceyeah its not mounting anymore23:52
matocyou do have to be a little familiar with the command line though.23:52
* Resistance fixed that by removing the hot-swappable CDROM23:52
Resistancematoc, found an fsck.ext4 flag which tells it to use badblocks to check23:52
Resistancereadonly scan for bad blocks23:52
matocwell there you go :)23:53
Resistanceit'll update the bad blocks inode of which blocks are bad...23:53
* Resistance should just read the manpages :P23:53
Resistancei'll just let this run :P23:55
