[00:15] 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 where [00:15] I never did get openVPN working, but that was a few years ago. [00:16] so far I've gone from OpenVPN, to Bridge VPN ... [00:16] I haven't bothered since as I've found other ways (like SSH) which are far easier for me. [00:16] maybe you guys need to try ebox or something... [00:17] or webmin... [00:17] Like i mentioned, I can access my home server via SSH through putty on client machine. [00:17] but that doesnt give access the the samba share or file [00:17] iBaer: did you follow the SMB over SSH guide I posted earlier? [00:18] and with all the garbage on the internet its becoming more and more difficult to find useful informtion [00:18] Matoc: Im sorry, i must have missed that [01:49] help; 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 or [01:50] use sudo apt-get install lamp [01:51] should run apt-get update [01:51] and apt-get upgrade [01:51] first [01:52] thanks [01:52] np [01:53] SSH would be sudo apt-get install openssh [01:54] HaltingState: I usually use sudo tasksel [01:54] or that [02:15] matoc, thx; exactly what i was looking for [02:17] what is the command line gui app for configuring network with dhcp [02:20] HaltingState: "dhclient eht0" but you need to set it in /etc/network/interface for it to stick after reboot === SJrX is now known as SJr [04:26] hello everyone, does anyone know how to remedy this dhcpd error "unable to add reverse map from 103.2.168.192.in-addr.arpa to X.juanito.home.net: timed out" [04:26] I've tried without success the solutions listed here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=4560802#post4560802 [04:28] Basically added ddns-rev-domainname "2.168.192.in-addr.arpa" to my dhcpd.conf file but no luck.

[07:23] im trying sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [07:24] but i get "E: Couldn't find the package ubuntu-desktop [07:31] anyone up [07:41] !server-gui [07:42] !servergui [07:42] Ubuntu 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] needhelp1: hope this helps!! :) [07:53] koolhead11, shouldnt i be able to run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [07:53] without error? [07:58] <_ruben> why not just (re)install using the ubuntu desktop cd instead of server, as you seem to want to turn it into a desktop anyway? [08:01] any 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. [08:27] Hi There, does anyone know if there is a ubuntu equivalent to http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:KIWI that acts as an imaging system? [08:37] <_ruben> magicblaze007: edit config and reload instead of restart apache? [09:02] hi [09:02] despite changing the time zone on the server, the time stamps in var/messages are still wrong [09:02] any idea? [09:02] if i type date, it shows correct time [09:10] <_ruben> did you restart your syslog daemon after the TZ change? === cerber0s is now known as cerberos [11:23] anyone able to help me with Cobbler? === sagaci_ is now known as sagaci [12:01] is it possible to have KVM pass through CPU virtualization to the guest OS? [12:02] <_ruben> rather doubt that [12:02] it just for testing [12:02] basically need to test windows 2008 hyper V crap [12:02] and I don't have an extra machine [12:07] I actually have seen an amazon EC2 instance running KVM so I know it is possible...but maybe it is just a feature of xen. [12:24] thesheff17, you need to have an amd chip to do nested virtualization [12:25] not sure if kvm specifically supports it - but you also need the underlying hardware to support it first [12:27] uksysadmin, ah cool [12:27] of course I have a ton of Intel chips :-/ [12:28] actually I do have some AMD servers with Ubuntu...I will have to test it. Thanks. [12:52] heh? all intel chips that do VT support it [12:52] pretty sure amd does also, but not so sure about them [12:53] the issue is, how the vm software was made, it has to be adjusted to do that [13:12] patdk-wk, its not VT, its nested virtualization support under Linux. AMD yes, Intel, not yet. [13:12] that isn't the fault of the hardware though [13:12] intel has always supported 3 or was it 4 rings [13:12] nobody said it was - its kernel support [13:12] need some help setting up users for vsftpd..anyone willing?

[20:08] 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. [20:09] I'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. [20:13] I am using the command line, gparted just happens to be the only live cd I have on hand without downloading another iso [20:13] ah, gparted as in the livecd, not the program [20:15] 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] or at least on the version included in the live cd === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === kermit1 is now known as kermit [20:26] hey guys [20:26] anyone a squirrelmail pro here [20:59] hi, cobbler question [20:59] where is the pxe boot file specified?

[23:15] i have the sector number from the kernel yelling about I/O errors on a sector [23:17] RoyK: I would recommend going straight to a movie editor and making a movie. Maybe try PiTiVi or Kdenlive... [23:21] Resistance: 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. [23:22] matoc: 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) [23:23] can you not just run fsck and let it automatically find and mark the bad sectors? [23:24] if you give me the fsck command to run, sure... lemme find my liveusb though so i'm not running on the active partition ;P [23:25] what is the filesystem type? ext_, xfs? [23:26] matoc: ext4 [23:26] the system i'm running this on isnt the RAID array ;P [23:27] matoc: i'm going to reboot, but my ZNC will log the messages you send me :) [23:32] I think this should work: fsck.ext4 -p /dev/sdX [23:33] oh... i remember this issue i'm having now [23:33] damn it, the liveusb is mounting things [23:34] "umount" them once it's booted. [23:34] system's returning them as "not mounted" [23:34] still wont let me run [23:34] i've seen this before [23:34] i think i ended up hooking the drive up via USB to another system to make this work [23:34] why not run repair mode from the alternate CD or something? [23:34] * Resistance grumbles [23:41] matoc, i am running a smart self-test via disk utility in the liveusb [23:42] hopefully all goes well [23:43] I'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] well if there is a problem it'll find it, considering its reporting 0 bad sectors as it is [23:45] grrr [23:45] its automounting /cdrom [23:45] that's a problem [23:45] weird. what live-cd(USB) are you running? [23:49] matoc, natty, same as the system is running [23:49] Rsistence: in this the server or desktop edition? [23:51] this is running off of desktop edition, but the answer i got in #ubuntu was "We don't know" [23:52] ah, wait a second, there... [23:52] I 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] yeah its not mounting anymore [23:52] you do have to be a little familiar with the command line though. [23:52] * Resistance fixed that by removing the hot-swappable CDROM [23:52] matoc, found an fsck.ext4 flag which tells it to use badblocks to check [23:52] readonly scan for bad blocks [23:53] well there you go :) [23:53] it'll update the bad blocks inode of which blocks are bad... [23:53] * Resistance should just read the manpages :P [23:55] i'll just let this run :P
