Psi-Jackjjmil03: Repeating the same question over, and over, won't get very good responses. :p03:09
jjmil03i was trying to check if my firewall was stopping my connection03:12
jjmil03thanks for the response03:12
patdk-laphell, actually asking a question *thats ontopic* would help03:12
patdk-lapjjmil03, no idea, what firewall?03:13
jjmil03I wasn't getting any responses on any channels I have tried so far...I didn't know if my computer's firewall was blocking this program or not so I was just trying a test message to see if I'd get something back or not03:14
jjmil03i guess the other channel is just not responding to my question03:14
jjmil03its on openldap...03:14
jjmil03if anyone has messed with it, I'd appreciate some help03:14

KeyGruinhi I want to move a domain name from a shared webhosting account to my ubuntu 11.10 server on an AWS EC2 instance. When I change the nameserver, do I use the Public DNS address given for my instance? or do I have to use BIND?03:30
dns53so when you buy a domain you specify the domain server that manages that domain, you could either run your own bind instance or pay for someone to run a dns server on your behalf03:40
osmosiswhat happens if I end up with two volume groups in LVM of the same name?03:40
dns53osmosis how did you do this? taken a hard disk with an existing lvm setup and put it in a new machine?03:41
osmosisdns53, correct03:41
osmosisvgscan only shows one03:42
osmosisnot sure how to find the other one03:42
osmosisdmesg shows the disk is available03:42
dns53osmosis i'm not sure, it might be a good idea to remove the hard disk, rename the lvm and plug it back in03:42
dns53you might be able to use vgrename but it might be safer to do it without the new disk03:44
KeyGruinok I was wondering because the public amazon address given for my instance is referred to as a Public DNS, and if I could just use that address to point my domain to03:48
KeyGruinhttp://i.imgur.com/RHP4p.png03:48
osmosisdns53, okay, so i havent it on a different server without a vgname conflict, but its still not showing in vgscan03:49
dns53but who is hosting your dns? do you have your own domain?03:49
KeyGruinoh the domain is with namecheap registrar03:50
dns53 KeyGruin but you can create your own records?  i believe you should be able to set up a cname instead of an A record and have that cname record point to xxx.amazonws.com03:52
KeyGruinwell I have a complete new ubuntu server instance, just like a VPS, on Amazon Web Services - it's a free 12 month trial03:55
KeyGruinI'm just new to this game, of setting up a public LAMMP server, never delved into the domain stuff03:57
dns53KeyGruin well you can run your own bind instance on EC2, personally i pay someone else to run my dns but nothing is stopping you from doing it yourself03:58
KeyGruinok I am confused by one thing, why is the amazon address given to my instance referred to as a DNS? is that not a domain name server?04:00
dns53yes amazon has a domain server and has assigned your vm a domain, you can use this but it is long and hard to remember04:02
=== sixstringsg is now known as sixstringsg|away
dns53i do not believe it is currently up (i have tried pinging the domain in the image) but you should be able to see it from the internet04:06
KeyGruinyes that is why I want to assign another domain name to it, one I own but is currently attached to a free shared hostin plan I do not wish to continue with04:06
KeyGruinit is up04:06
KeyGruinbut I don't have Apache configured yet04:06
dns53the fact that amazon gives you an obscure entry for the server does not stop you from giving a better domain for the server04:09
KeyGruinyes I am aware of that04:09
KeyGruinI just don't know how to go about it04:10
dns53can you login to namecheap and see if you can set up your own dns records? or can you only say what dns server holds the records?04:10
KeyGruinI can yes04:11
KeyGruinI don't know about setting up my own records but I can log in and change the dns addresses04:12
dns53so you can create an A record?   point it to 23.20.29.213 (i believe this is your current ip address of your vm)04:12
KeyGruinno clue04:12
KeyGruinI am not at that level of understanding this04:12
dns53ok so you will need to run bind on your server and set up the records there04:12
KeyGruinok04:12
KeyGruinI'm looking at the ubuntu-server docs with that info04:13
dns53so namecheap will point to you, you say with an A record that your ip is the domain04:13
dns53so dns is flexible, it allows you to have multiple dns servers, pointing to multiple servers and different servers for sub domains for example04:16
dns53when you buy a domain you specify the dns server that has the authority for your domain04:16
KeyGruinwhich either has to be one created by myself on my own server or an external one that generally charges for the service, correct?04:20
dns53yes04:20
KeyGruinok I think I have enough to go on without stumbling too blindly, thanks for the help04:21
dns53dig is your friend,    dig domain.com     to see the records and see if it is working as expected04:23

hex20decCan anyone help me setup my BIND DNS server please?06:19
qman___hex20dec, you'll have to be more specific06:22
hex20decqman___:Well, I'm having a lot of problems with my DNS stuff, I'm very new to the whole server management thing. I tired reading a lot of articles but it's really complicated and I just need to get it to work for basic things, so I just need to set it up in a simplified way.06:26
hex20decIf you can help me that would be great.06:26
qman___the server guide is about as straight forward as it gets06:27
qman___if you're still having problems after following it, ask away06:27

Zac_o_Oanyone have a good recommendation for a How-to for setting up SMB on ubuntu server?07:59
=== ttx` is now known as ttx
qman___Zac_o_O, the server guide covers that pretty well08:02
qman___if by SMB you mean samba08:02
Zac_o_Ooops, just found that right after I asked :S08:03
Zac_o_Oalso is it possible to share a drive with both NFS and SMB at the same time?08:03
Zac_o_Oand yes SMB=Samba08:03
qman___yes08:03
qman___they do not interfere with each other08:04
Zac_o_Oreally? great! even sharing the same folders?08:05
qman___yes, the protocols are unrelated and there are no conflicts when sharing the same files08:06
Zac_o_Ocool.  thanks!08:06
qman___the only thing you may run into are character encoding issues, special characters don't show up right on windows or may get garbled when used over one or the other08:06
qman___nothing show stopping, a minor annoyance at worst08:07
Zac_o_Ohm.  but NFS is much faster correct?  especially for streaming movies over the network from the server....08:10
qman___not necessarily, each has its own advantages08:11
qman___SMB can generally achieve higher data rates, but NFS generally has better response times and is better for streaming and small files08:11
Zac_o_Odoesn't higher data rates = better streaming?08:12
qman___NFSv3 is not secure08:12
qman___but workgroup SMB isn't all that secure either08:12
qman___no, streaming only needs enough data rate for the stream, lag spikes and disconnections are worse on it08:12
Zac_o_Oso generally NFS works better for streaming?08:14
Zac_o_Olike big .mkv's and such08:15
qman___both work well enough over a gigabit LAN08:15
qman___I've noticed over wifi that, for me, NFS works better08:15
Zac_o_Ohm.  guess if I can use both on the same files I can try them both huh? :)08:17
Zac_o_ONFS and SMB i mean08:17
qman___yes08:18
Zac_o_Ok thanks!  be back tomorrow08:19
Zac_o_Ohave a good night08:19
TheNewMeHey, I need some advice on a server OS.08:22
qman___!ask | TheNewMe08:23
ubottuTheNewMe: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience08:23
TheNewMeHey, I was typing it.  I just thought I'd fire off a warning shot.08:23
TheNewMeMy friends and I want to make an FTTP fileserver so we can do web design on da cloudz.08:24
TheNewMeHow is wine with linux servers?08:24
qman___wine is, generally speaking, a desktop application08:24
qman___needs a GUI, etc08:25
TheNewMeYeah, we are going to have a GUI also.  It wont be a server only.08:25
TheNewMeIs ubuntu-server GUI less?08:25
qman___yes08:25
qman___you can install one, but then it's not really a server anymore08:26
TheNewMeOkay, I know my way around normal Ubuntu enough to do what I want.08:26
TheNewMeOh!  A purist!08:26
TheNewMeThanks.  Pointed me in the right direction.08:26
RoyKqman___: erm... a server doesn't stop being a server if you install X on it...08:39
qman___not strictly speaking, but that is one of only a handful of differences between desktop and server08:40
qman___and since X is not supported in this channel08:40
qman___well, you get the idea08:40
RoyKqman___: I know, just wanted to underline that server functions don't die out at the time a GUI is installed09:58

Psi-JackOkay, Why .... AppArmor's documentation is so minimal at best, it's not even funny! And now that Canonical staffs the AppArmor devs, this has seriously got to change.21:27

Psi-JackCurious, anyone here ever used Tomoyo, instead of AppArmor for application hardening in Ubuntu servers?>23:05
Psi-JackHeh.23:47
Psi-JackFlaming crazy stupifying.23:48
Psi-JackThat fricken Tomoyo 1.7 patch provided in the tomoyo packages is just bleh!23:48
Psi-Jackubuntu 11.10 comes with linux 3.0.0, but the patch is for 2.6.x23:48
JanCPsi-Jack: does there exist a Tomoyo patch linux 3.x ?23:50
Psi-JackJanC: Yeah, 2.3.x and 2.4.x23:51
Psi-JackAnd the AKARI stuff provides more Tomoyo support than mainline support.23:52
JanC3.x != 2.x23:53
Psi-JackThat was AppArmor versions, not kernel versions.23:53
Psi-JackErr, Tomoyo versions23:53
Psi-Jack :)23:53
Psi-JackTomoyo 2.3.x and 2.4.x supports 2.6.36 to 3.0 and 3.1 backported to 2.6.33 - 3.023:54
Psi-JackLooks like Akari is it's future. heh23:55
Psi-JackYeah, Akari seems to make use of Tomoyo 1.8 as a LKM, maybe via DLKM23:59
