[00:15] <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 where
[00:15] <fishscene> I never did get openVPN working, but that was a few years ago.
[00:16] <iBaer> so far I've gone from OpenVPN, to Bridge VPN ...
[00:16] <fishscene> I haven't bothered since as I've found other ways (like SSH) which are far easier for me.
[00:16] <matoc> maybe you guys need to try ebox or something...
[00:17] <matoc> or webmin...
[00:17] <iBaer> Like i mentioned, I can access my home server via SSH through putty on client machine.
[00:17] <iBaer> but that doesnt give access the the samba share or file
[00:17] <matoc> iBaer: did you follow the SMB over SSH guide I posted earlier?
[00:18] <iBaer> and with all the garbage on the internet its becoming more and more difficult to find useful informtion
[00:18] <iBaer> Matoc: Im sorry, i must have missed that
[01:49] <HaltingState> 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] <KoolaidJunkie> use sudo apt-get install lamp
[01:51] <iBaer> should run apt-get update
[01:51] <iBaer> and apt-get upgrade
[01:51] <iBaer> first
[01:52] <HaltingState> thanks
[01:52] <KoolaidJunkie> np
[01:53] <KoolaidJunkie> SSH would be sudo apt-get install openssh
[01:54] <matoc> HaltingState: I usually use sudo tasksel
[01:54] <KoolaidJunkie> or that
[02:15] <HaltingState> matoc, thx; exactly what i was looking for
[02:17] <HaltingState> what is the command line gui app for configuring network with dhcp
[02:20] <matoc> HaltingState: "dhclient eht0" but you need to set it in /etc/network/interface for it to stick after reboot
[04:26] <japr> 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] <japr> I've tried without success the solutions listed here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=4560802#post4560802
[04:28] <japr> Basically added ddns-rev-domainname "2.168.192.in-addr.arpa" to my dhcpd.conf file but no luck. Thanks
[07:23] <needhelp1> how do i install a gui on ubuntu server?
[07:23] <needhelp1> im trying sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[07:24] <needhelp1> but i get "E: Couldn't find the package ubuntu-desktop
[07:31] <needhelp1> anyone up
[07:41] <koolhead11> !server-gui
[07:42] <koolhead11> !servergui
[07:42] <koolhead11> needhelp1: hope this helps!! :)
[07:53] <needhelp1> koolhead11, shouldnt i be able to run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[07:53] <needhelp1> 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] <magicblaze007> 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] <skyion> 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] <danthemannn> hi
[09:02] <danthemannn> despite changing the time zone on the server, the time stamps in var/messages are still wrong
[09:02] <danthemannn> any idea?
[09:02] <danthemannn> if i type date, it shows correct time
[09:10] <_ruben> did you restart your syslog daemon after the TZ change?
[11:23] <S0ME1> anyone able to help me with Cobbler?
[12:01] <thesheff17> is it possible to have KVM pass through CPU virtualization to the guest OS?
[12:02] <_ruben> rather doubt that
[12:02] <thesheff17> it just for testing
[12:02] <thesheff17> basically need to test windows 2008 hyper V crap
[12:02] <thesheff17> and I don't have an extra machine
[12:07] <thesheff17> 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] <uksysadmin> thesheff17, you need to have an amd chip to do nested virtualization
[12:25] <uksysadmin> not sure if kvm specifically supports it - but you also need the underlying hardware to support it first
[12:27] <thesheff17> uksysadmin, ah cool
[12:27] <thesheff17> of course I have a ton of Intel chips :-/
[12:28] <thesheff17> actually I do have some AMD servers with Ubuntu...I will have to test it. Thanks.
[12:52] <patdk-wk> heh? all intel chips that do VT support it
[12:52] <patdk-wk> pretty sure amd does also, but not so sure about them
[12:53] <patdk-wk> the issue is, how the vm software was made, it has to be adjusted to do that
[13:12] <uksysadmin> patdk-wk, its not VT, its nested virtualization support under Linux.  AMD yes, Intel, not yet.
[13:12] <patdk-wk> that isn't the fault of the hardware though
[13:12] <patdk-wk> intel has always supported 3 or was it 4 rings
[13:12] <uksysadmin> nobody said it was - its kernel support
[13:12] <codeflux> need some help setting up users for vsftpd..anyone willing?
[13:18] <codeflux> when i connect to ftp (vsftpd) i can login and all but when I try ls my connection times out..any ideas?
[13:19] <patdk-wk> your messed up the data connection for ftp
[15:32] <pythonirc101> I would like to let any openid user open a ssh  tunnel thru my machine.  Can anyone point me to what I should read for this? or how I can do this?
[15:44] <andol> pythonirc101: May I ask why on earth you feel it is a good idea to allow any random Internet user tunnel thru your machine?
[15:47] <patdk-wk> how else can I safely get my ****?
[18:11] <pythonirc101> andol: I don't see any other way out -- I need to let my users run webservers and point to them using my server
[18:27] <cwillu_at_work> pythonirc101, what is it you're actually trying to accomplish?
[19:17] <cwillu_at_work> pythonirc101, because judging from the questions you've asked here and in #python over the last few days, you seem to be trying to solve some problem, but you haven't told anyone what it is yet
[20:07] <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.
[20:08] <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.
[20:09] <matoc> 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] <iggi_> 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] <cwillu_at_work> ah, gparted as in the livecd, not the program
[20:15] <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 cd
[20:26] <eagles0513875_> hey guys
[20:26] <eagles0513875_> anyone a squirrelmail pro here
[20:59] <mgw> hi, cobbler question
[20:59] <mgw> where is the pxe boot file specified?
[20:59] <mgw> "filename": "gpxe/menu.gpxe" is in the json, but I can't find an option to set it
[21:02] <eagles0513875_> anyone in here worked with squirrelmail as I am having issues with it running on my webserver and loading the login screen for some reason
[21:03] <RoyK> anyone that knows good slideshow software? I want to show a few pics to music with variable delay between the pics, preferably exportable to some movie format
[21:07] <matoc> RoyK: you may want to ask this question on the ubundu-desktop channel.
[22:59] <RoyK> matoc: I do..
[23:15] <Resistance> anyone know how I can manually map a sector on a drive as bad?  an individual sector, not a partition.
[23:15] <Resistance> i have the sector number from the kernel yelling about I/O errors on a sector
[23:17] <matoc> RoyK: I would recommend going straight to a movie editor and making a movie. Maybe try PiTiVi or Kdenlive...
[23:21] <matoc> 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] <Resistance> 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] <matoc> can you not just run fsck and let it automatically find and mark the bad sectors?
[23:24] <Resistance> 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] <matoc> what is the filesystem type? ext_, xfs?
[23:26] <Resistance> matoc:  ext4
[23:26] <Resistance> the system i'm running this on isnt the RAID array ;P
[23:27] <Resistance> matoc:  i'm going to reboot, but my ZNC will log the messages you send me :)
[23:32] <matoc> I think this should work: fsck.ext4 -p /dev/sdX
[23:33] <Resistance> oh... i remember this issue i'm having now
[23:33] <Resistance> damn it, the liveusb is mounting things
[23:34] <matoc> "umount" them once it's booted.
[23:34] <Resistance> system's returning them as "not mounted"
[23:34] <Resistance> still wont let me run
[23:34] <Resistance> i've seen this before
[23:34] <Resistance> i think i ended up hooking the drive up via USB to another system to make this work
[23:34] <matoc> why not run repair mode from the alternate CD or something?
[23:34]  * Resistance grumbles
[23:41] <Resistance> matoc, i am running a smart self-test via disk utility in the liveusb
[23:42] <Resistance> hopefully all goes well
[23:43] <matoc> 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] <Resistance> well if there is a problem it'll find it, considering its reporting 0 bad sectors as it is
[23:45] <Resistance> grrr
[23:45] <Resistance> its automounting /cdrom
[23:45] <Resistance> that's a problem
[23:45] <matoc> weird. what live-cd(USB) are you running?
[23:49] <Resistance> matoc, natty, same as the system is running
[23:49] <matoc> Rsistence: in this the server or desktop edition?
[23:51] <Resistance> this is running off of desktop edition, but the answer i got in #ubuntu was "We don't know"
[23:52] <Resistance> ah, wait a second, there...
[23:52] <matoc> 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] <Resistance> yeah its not mounting anymore
[23:52] <matoc> 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] <Resistance> matoc, found an fsck.ext4 flag which tells it to use badblocks to check
[23:52] <Resistance> readonly scan for bad blocks
[23:53] <matoc> well there you go :)
[23:53] <Resistance> it'll update the bad blocks inode of which blocks are bad...
[23:53]  * Resistance should just read the manpages :P
[23:55] <Resistance> i'll just let this run :P
