[00:00] SpamapS: that's a fair question. I'm really not sure. It's mostly little stuff, like when an update is available, I like being able to click through the packages, to read their descriptions and docs. I don't know of an easy way to do that from the command line. [00:04] Anybody using Zentyal? (10.04 Ubuntu is the base...) === sixstringsg|away is now known as sixstringsg [00:12] Cerin: apt-cache show packagename [00:13] SpamapS: ? [00:13] SpamapS: that's a lot to type in for 30+ packages that need to be installed [00:14] in this case, pointing and clicking does save a lot of time [00:14] Cerin: for i in p1 p2 p3 p4 ; do apt-cache show $i ; done ;-) [00:15] What's the old cliche? When all you have is a hammer, all the world looks like a nail? :) [00:17] Cerin: aptitude will let you read descriptions etc. from an ncurses UI [00:17] Cerin: pointing and clicking saves time learning.. but ultimately, the CLI will be more efficient if you take the time to learn it. [00:19] SpamapS: I agree. [00:21] Cerin: also, you can run X applications on your server, but display them on your desktop PC ;) [00:22] JanC: Unfortunately, I can't get Xorg to start on my server. Does that require a local X server, or can the server use the remove X server? [00:22] Cerin: only the computer on which X apps are displayed need an X server [00:23] JanC: Interesting, thanks. [00:23] that's how a "terminal server" works [00:23] at least on linux/X [00:24] Cerin: [00:24] oo [00:24] oops [00:24] Cerin: ssh -X yourserver [00:24] Cerin: any X programs on the remove server will display on your local machine [00:24] s/remove/remote/ [00:24] but in any case, try to learn how to do without that [00:24] * SpamapS is having lag problems doh [00:25] * SpamapS goes back to his weekend [00:26] it's strange; even on Windows I used to use a lot of commandline tools ;) [00:28] SpamapS: cool, thanks === sixstringsg is now known as sixstringsg|away === Jasonn_ is now known as Jasonn === sixstringsg|away is now known as sixstringsg === sixstringsg is now known as sixstringsg|away === bladernr_ is now known as bladernr_afk [04:28] hmm, any idea how could I create a "private network" for VMs? i.e. network that has no connection to outside (neither NAT nor bridged) [04:32] ah, I can just create a new network [04:38] kklimonda, is libvirt installed? [04:38] ChmEarl: yes [04:38] I just thought too hard about it [04:38] kklimonda, use default.xml as a template [04:40] usr/share/libvirt/networks/ [04:40] if i have to configure trunk on linux ,what change i have to make in eth1 ? VLAN=yes and [04:40] I can actually use virt-manager -- network creation works with libvirt from debian [04:40] (well, libvirt from debian on debian) [04:46] evening, all [04:46] Any of you using Ubuntu Server in a business settings?

[12:59] anyone tha knows if php fpm is available somehow for lucid? [12:59] TheInfinity: create modes can be set in the php call [13:00] TheInfinity: btw, mod_php might be easier/better than fastcgi with apache [13:01] RoyK: i prefer suexec security. :) ... fastcgi setup works excellent and really fast (just switched it, was a nice performance boost here) - but i like to have a rights management so then even with suexec not everything is writable for apache [13:02] RoyK: and i dont want to patch every software a client installs. so i need something which is set server-wide [14:01] New bug: #936216 in apache2 (main) "Apache doesn't start if /var/log/apache2 is missing" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/936216 [15:06] New bug: #936266 in postfix (main) "tls_append_default_CA and *_tls_CApath don't work" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/936266 [15:37] hello there, my ubuntu server was recently hacked and aparently the guy that hacked it blocked all of the ports using iptables prolly, and now i cant access my HD using putty ssh connection, says connection refused on the port that i was previously using to access my server, could anyone help me with that? [15:38] if it's not accepting connections, you need to get local access and fix it [15:38] you can check if it has any ports open with nmap [15:38] but honestly, with an attack of that scale, backup and format [15:39] sbarakos: you need to get someone local to access the machine [15:39] sbarakos: take it off the network, re-install the OS, move any data you feel you need, but check for compromises in the data you move [15:39] sbarakos: change all passwords and any private keys you have on your machine if you feel they are compromised [15:41] well my machine is hosted by a company, so i guess their techs should do it, well in my CP i can use :rescue-mode to boot from, and when i boot it there i am able to login through ssh [15:42] sbarakos: you can't login in rescue mode [15:42] sbarakos: it won't boot onto the network [15:42] sbarakos: I'd advise you not to boot it onto the network if it's been compromised [15:42] ok [15:42] sbarakos: the people who broke into it, could have all kinds of nasty stuff just waiting for it to be re-connected to the network [15:43] no thats the thing, i loged through my vnc viewer before, and they still had the vnc viewer connection and same pass and my server connected to the network, with an open txt saying Itslovelol remember us [15:44] we like tamper around [15:44] I would not trust it at all [15:44] but then when i closed my vnc i didnt even thought that they would close my ports, and went for a hard reboot, and as u know the vnc viewer needs to be started again once rebooted [15:45] sbarakos: I wouldn't trust it at all, it's up to you what you do [15:46] well since i cant even connect through ssh, it means that ill have to reinstall my OS [15:46] thing is that i have some data in there which i propably need [15:46] like my databases [15:46] deal with it when you visit the site [15:46] backup your data and reprovision the server [15:47] also, running VNC with standard password security is a Very Bad Idea (tm) [15:48] it's transmitted in cleartext, limited to 8 characters, and is easy to crack [15:49] hence the server being compromised [15:49] if you need VNC, you should secure it by not allowing direct connections from the internet, and using SSH tunneling or openVPN to get to it [15:50] firewall it to specific ip ranges [15:51] yes that would be the best idea [15:51] well its my first server and i am still in the learning process [15:51] i guess everyone made mistakes and started off somewhere [15:57] qman___: how can i backup my data and reprovision the server? without having access to it through ssh? [15:57] you may need your provider to do it for you [15:57] you haven't said what kind of hosting you have [15:58] colo? dedicated? vps? [15:58] managed or unmanaged? [15:58] kimsufi [15:58] from ovh [15:58] i think its unmanaged dedicated [15:59] ok, looks like you need to use their rescue system [16:00] I don't know exactly how theirs works, but usually it's just a web interface into local access, sort of like an IP KVM [16:00] ye they have a kvm [16:01] i can actually netboot as rescue-pro or vkvm [16:03] if possible you don't want to boot your compromised operating system [16:03] just get access to the data so you can back it up [16:03] ye but how can i get access to the data, since i logged through ssh for example in rescue-pro boot but it seems like its totally different interface [16:04] probably mount your / to /mnt [16:04] like mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [16:19] can ne one help with a command for the following : recursively mv files containing extension avi, to a new directory?

[16:58] i got an ftp for backup [16:58] have to mount it and access the data [16:59] are you at a root prompt? # [16:59] yes [16:59] i am logged through ssh in rescue as root [16:59] ok, type 'mount' [16:59] if neither of those two is already mounted somewhere, mount /dev/sda2 /mnt, then all your files should be in /mnt === sixstringsg|away is now known as sixstringsg [17:01] qman___: [17:01] copy /dev/sda1 on /mnt type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered) [17:01] copy /dev/sda2 on /mnt type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered) [17:02] ah, umount /dev/sda1 [17:02] both mounted at the same spot can lead to problems [17:03] done [17:03] now run 'mount' to verify [17:03] and if only sda2 is mounted there, cd to /mnt and your root filesystem should be there [17:03] i can see only sda1 [17:04] copy /dev/sda1 on /mnt type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered) [17:04] ok, go ahead and umount both of them [17:04] just umount /mnt a couple times [17:04] then retry mount /dev/sda2 /mnt [17:04] I'm guessing that's where your data is because it's the largest by far [17:04] but your data could be on sda1 === sixstringsg is now known as sixstringsg|away [17:06] ye it depends :s [17:06] cant i mount both of them? [17:06] yes, but you need to mount in different locations [17:06] you could create /mnt/sda1 and /mnt/sda2, and mount to those locations respectively [17:07] hmm mount point doesnt exist [17:07] you have to mkdir them [17:09] ok i did [17:09] in cd [17:09] i mean under ~ [17:09] its not important on where ill create em right? [17:10] they can be anywhere, but that's what you have to specify as the mount point === sixstringsg|away is now known as sixstringsg [17:12] copy /dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1 type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered) [17:12] copy /dev/sda2 on /mnt/sda2 type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered) [17:17] is that right? [17:20] that's fine [17:20] now how should i proceed? [17:21] cd in there and find your files [17:21] if they're there, back them up with your preferred method [17:21] probably tar them up and ftp [17:21] whats the command to tar them and then upload em to the ftp? [17:22] well, 'ftp' is the ftp command [17:22] but also dont forget i am in rescue so, would i be able to upload em? [17:22] find out if you're online [17:23] try to ping google or something [17:23] it does [17:25] command for tar is tar name.tar.bz2 folder ? [17:25] you should read the tar manual to find out exactly what you want, but a simple gzip compressed tarball would go like this: tar czf /mnt/sda2/backup.tar.gz /mnt/sda2/path/to/my/files === sixstringsg is now known as sixstringsg|away === sixstringsg|away is now known as sixstringsg [18:40] hey guys, ive been running ubuntu server as a virtual machine for a while, now i want to add a secondary network card. i added it in vmware so it has 2 network cards, but how can i enable the new added card on ubuntu server?

[21:18] MatBoy: so far the orchestra build goes fine [21:18] i'm having problems getting juju to deply services succesfully [21:19] michael_tn: I think you can simply build something like it with a bunch of PHP scripts [21:20] qman___: They're virtual machines. [21:21] MatBoy: perhaps, but i'd like to see this work, have a few days invested it it and i think i'm close [21:21] qman___: thanks for the other day [21:21] michael_tn: on 12 it's mainstream ? I hope this will be free and opensource in the future [21:21] 11.10 [21:21] great help :) [21:22] its mainstream in oneiric as well [21:22] michael_tn: I have a 11.10 machine :D [21:22] qman___: Example, I just upgraded all my debian 6 hypervisor servers which run Proxmox VE 2.0rc1 (now, was beta2), And I run fw1, fw2, lvs1, lvs2 VM's in HA setup accross 4 physical servers. When I finished rebooting each physical server, one by one doing the host OS upgrade, I noticed fw1 and fw2 were stuck on the grub screen without a timeout. [21:22] what i'm following: http://cloud.ubuntu.com/2011/10/ubuntu-cloud-deployment-with-orchestra-and-juju/ [21:23] All of my VM's run under kvm, which shutdown does a simple acpi signal to the OS to shut down. [21:25] ah [21:25] I wouldn't know where to begin with that one [21:26] it's ACTING as if there's some setup involved with grub to not do a countdown if there was a failed boot, or a few boots occured in a short amount of time. [21:26] Which if that's true, why the hell is it doing so, especially from an ubuntu-server installation? ;) [21:26] I can see that being useful-ish, on a desktop platform, but never a server. [21:27] michael_tn: ok, but what about juju ? [21:27] michael_tn: will orchestra not be a landscape paid version ? [21:28] MatBoy: donno, as of now juju is in mainstream as well [21:28] * michael_tn is bootstrapping juju server at the moment [21:28] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11467684 this also shows other people are getting the same issue. [21:29] Specifically with this: when I shutdown my server with "sudo shutdown -h now" command, it doesn't autostart on next boot [21:29] michael_tn: what is the difference between orchestra and juju ? [21:29] MatBoy: all a bit difficult for me, not really an ubuntu person, but at least its interesting :-) [21:29] michael_tn: I eat, poe and ... ubuntu ;) [21:30] lol [21:30] Where does Ubuntu keep it's shutdown scripts, outside of /etc/init and /etc/init.d? [21:30] orchestra manages the hardware infrastructures (dns/tftp/etc) [21:30] juju provides services (nova, http, etc) [21:31] at least that is how i perceive it [21:32] michael_tn: ok, both webbased ? I mean GUI [21:32] yup [21:32] michael_tn: but you also can use juju seperate ? [21:33] i would think so, if you provision your servers correctly [21:33] https://juju.ubuntu.com/ [21:34] michael_tn: yes busy with setting up a new cluster I want to manage such way [21:34] Psi-Jack: if i setup a cronjob, say > 1=0 0 * * * curl --silent --compressed "http://domain.com/file.php". i used 'crontab -e' to add it, then i restarted cron 'sudo /etc/init.d/cron restart' anything else i need to do? because its not working :( [21:34] most things I dev my own... bt running out of time [21:34] same here [21:34] and i am most familiar with centos based HPC clusters, not ubuntu openstack :-) [21:35] wonderman: That forum posting says it's effected by "shutdown -h now" and "shutdown -P now", -h will cause grub to NOT have a timeout, while -P will cause it to have a timeout. [21:35] wrong name? :P [21:35] Probably. :) [21:36] sorry, i directed the question at you, because you are active atm and probably can help [21:36] michael_tn: OK... installing it :) [21:36] I'm investigating other issues. :p [21:36] michael_tn: i don't like the redhat way anymore since years [21:36] ive waited 2 days, to test this lol, because i cant see another way of finding out if it works [21:36] obviously i could make the cron shorter, doh! [21:37] dont need to be root to run curl do i?, the command works from shell [21:39] ne one her know how to un-delete complete folders on a usb drive? [21:40] Psi-Jack: that sounds serious but I can't reproduce it. I just tried both "sudo reboot" and "shutdown -h now" five times in succession. grub (2) menu times out and boots each time. Although I am using a -virtual kernel. Do you have steps to reproduce? [21:40] rbasak: use photorec [21:41] yakster: ^^ [21:41] there not photos [21:41] yakster: rtfm [21:41] rtfm?

[21:42] yakster: google on photorec [21:42] damn, how difficult can it be [21:42] MatBoy: yes, the orchestra part is nice [21:42] MatBoy: that's not really helpful, if you have nothing else to say than "use google" or rtfm... [21:43] even more so if you hardware can deal with wake-on-lan [21:43] Myrtti: I have gave him photorec... we are not some sort of... take my hand and do it for me channel [21:43] michael_tn: yes... with vmware it is for sure :D [21:44] nod nod [21:44] michael_tn: mhh... nagios ? ouch.... no!

[21:56] Psi-Jack: thanks for investigating. If you find a way to reproduce it, please can you file a bug and let me know the bug number so that I can test? [21:56] rbasak: Absolutely. [21:56] Thanks! [21:57] rbasak: It's a major issue that SHOULD be fixed before 12.04 LTS is out for sure. I installed 11.10 for my firewall and LVS directors because I intended to upgrade to 12.04 when it becomes available.
