[04:10] which incremental backup solution would people recommend here [07:16] i have a apache server setup but how to share the files so they are acessable online? [07:17] is it that i have to have a "site" or can i just tell it to use a folder and display the content [07:17] http://80.86.81.136/repo/ [07:17] like this site^^ [07:41] SHOVELL: that's just setup using dir_index, nothing magick, but that won't allow you to update the files. I'd use ftp or ftp-over-ssh or perhaps samba or nfs or even afp [07:43] i have a way to update the files that is not the problem dir_index? [07:43] ...nvm [07:44] ok yeah dir_index??? [07:46] never mind i think i got it figured out [08:04] Apache question: Is it possible, in digest authentication, to add an account that is valid for all realms? [09:51] SHOVELL: if you have your apache server already set up all you need to do is to do a symbolic link to the folder where you keep the files you want to access. For example: ln -s /filestosharefolder /var/www . Then your files would be accesible by the following url: http://your.ip/filestosharefolder [09:51] that is the quick way. [09:52] thank you [11:40] hello someone who knows about grub has a few seconds? [11:40] I've got a possibly broken grub install after updating, not sure how to check: the story: apparently I have LVM devices that are broken, grub tried probing them during update [11:40] and ofc it hanged [11:41] now can I exclude that? I dont have the devices.map file... grub is 1.98 [11:41] on ubuntu 10.4 [12:15] so what can I do with grub that fails to create device map? [12:20] Neikius: so do you boot as far as the emergency root shell thing? or does your box fail at grub? [12:21] exit [12:21] we will see [12:21] I just rebootet [12:21] *rebooted... after fixing this thing I think [12:21] I had faulting multipathed devices freezing grub-probe and hence it never updated sucessfully [12:22] I guessed it won't boot, but I could not be sure. Also I am sitting at the remote pc with servers locked away so now I can pray [12:24] 2 [12:26] act 1 [12:26] help [12:26] Neikius: you have boot outside lvm ya? [12:26] srr thought something was wrong [12:27] yep [12:27] duno why it even checks that damn lvm [12:28] why does it do config from scratch every time... [12:28] so much potential for fail [12:28] I am lucky, forgot kvm password ... machine is up [12:29] though this leaves a bad aftertaste... I had to kill processes manually, I had to intervene on several levels to get the update finish; the cause is in multipath though [12:31] hi ALl [12:31] i'm tring to set-up a web app on a ubuntu server (lucid) , but i'm having some problems ... [12:32] i tried to set up a trac instance, it seems to work .. but when i load it i see it fails to load the css style and all the links are broken [12:32] funny thing is, when one disk in iscsi box crashes it rebuilds the array which is ok, but it gives a ton of I/O errors that cause devices to pull down, after that there is no way to get em back up - only restart helps [12:32] then i switched to redmine ... i was thinking of a trac issue .. but the same .. no css loded and broken link [12:33] the machine is : http://aquarius.tw.rpi.edu/projects/ecoop/epy http://aquarius.tw.rpi.edu/projects/ecoop/redmine [12:33] you can see the bad behavioure :( [12:34] i'm clueless, i just received the login permision on that machine .. it is running on a Vserver .. and i need vpn to access it trough ssh [12:35] i'm used to setup trac on debian without any problem, i guess it should be the same on ubuntu. or maybe something worng on the virtual server ? [12:35] plese, many many thanks for any help! [12:36] seems like web site root is wrong? [12:36] it tries to load resources from http://aquarius.tw.rpi.edu/redmine [12:36] every page i need to add /projects/ecoop/ to got the page loaded (without css) [12:37] yes! :( how to fix the web/root ? [12:37] dont have no knowlege regarding trac [12:37] but it is usually somewhere in settings [12:37] i guess it is an apache iisse [12:38] or website config issue [12:38] i have one trac somewhere let me check a bit, but still I am no expert on this [12:39] on the other hand, I have problems waking up 2 kvm machines after update... guess they BROKE CONFIG with update [12:39] and that is on LTS ubuntu! a disgrace [12:39] safe-upgrade should not break stuff [12:39] now I am disinclined to update ever again [12:41] maybe the config TracUriRoot? [12:44] Neikius: so you are using mod python [12:44] i was using cgi [12:44] let me try if it helps [12:46] meh [12:46] probably not its just random guessing [12:46] but you definetely got some mappings wrong somewhere [13:50] New bug: #941422 in ntp (main) "package ntp 1:4.2.4p8+dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 failed to install/upgrade: sub-processo script post-installation instalado retornou estado de saĆ­da de erro 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/941422 [15:10] I'm trying to set up a Preseed file to set up a LAMP server. I've added 'tasksel tasksel/first multiselect server, openssh-server, lamp-server' to the preseed, but can't see any obvious way to set (or at least retrieve) the MySQL root password. [15:11] Now I find myself installing phpmyadmin... and MySQL is rejecting the root password. So how do I specify the MySQL root p/w in the preseed? [18:06] New bug: #941547 in postfix (main) "package postfix 2.7.0-1ubuntu0.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 75" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/941547 [18:54] hello! I'm trying to install vagrant on ubuntu lucid, but it complains about an older version of rubygems... actually after some investigation I found this: yann@mandragor:~$ /usr/bin/gem1.8 -v 1.3.5 < is this normal behaviour? [18:57] yann_, while I don't know about rubygems in particular, remember that lucid is almost two years old and will have major software versions of the same age [18:58] agreed, but as there is a package rubygems-1.8, I thought it would be rubygems 1.3? is there maybe a package I can install, to then update "alternatives" ? [18:59] it's really unlucky, it asks for >=1.3.6 and I have 1.3.5 :( [19:02] unfortunately I don't know enough about that software to answer that, but you may be able to update by enabling the backports repository, or there may be a PPA you can use [19:04] it seems I'm being lucky using Morgan Mackenzie's backport :) [19:04] http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/rubygems [19:04] doesn't look like it's in the backports repository [19:04] yann_: i thought ruby has something like easy_install [19:04] https://launchpad.net/~maco.m/+archive/ruby [19:05] you can try that as well [19:05] koolhead17, might be... [19:05] but I think it it just worked :) thanks [19:05] cool [19:10] pfiou there are gems missing everywhere and massive PATH problems everywhere, I'm not done yet :( [20:37] Hi everyone, I'm having a problem with my mail, when I send messages, the return-path header is set to "Return-Path: ". How do I change the 'www-data' to 'admin'? I even added the return-path header to my php script but seems it isn't the problem. Anyone know what the problem is? [20:38] hex20dec: that's set by whatever generates the email message [20:39] RoyK, so how would I change that? [20:41] change the script or app or whatever doing the emailing [20:41] I use postfix [20:42] RoyK, I'm really new to Linux. You mind please elaborating a bit more on how to do it? [20:43] hex20dec: what is it that generates that email? [20:44] I use PHP as my scripting and postfix as mailing. [20:45] then just set the from field in php [20:46] there are docs about that all over the net [20:47] That is the problem. [20:47] I did it in php, and nothing happens. [20:47] It seems to not be the PHP. [20:47] you need to create the envelope correctly in php [20:47] I've done it before with php and everything was working fine, with my shared hosting, but now that I have a VPS, it's not working. [20:48] it's no difference [20:48] Envelope? [20:48] email envelope [20:48] it's called that [20:48] and btw, it's not a server question - try on ##php ;) [20:48] Okay, thank you. [20:48] Okay, I'll look that up, because I saw somewhere envelope as well, and I didn't think it's that, and now that you mention it, I guess it is. [20:49] So, thanks. [21:02] erm... when I chose "no" to automatic updates during install, how can I enable this later? [21:07] RoyK: I'd say enable the corresponding lines in /etc/apt/sources.list -- but I didn't look if they are there already [21:12] if a standard system program is deleted or missing from /usr/bin, how should I get it back? [21:13] caution: what is missing and how did you manage that? [21:14] soren, bumped into this, thought you might have interest :) https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee/blob/master/doc/vagrant.md [21:15] hmm, I think I can fix it by installing coreutils === pehden is now known as Pehden [21:17] can I repair instead of apt-get remove? [21:17] caution: reinstall? [21:20] Invalid operation reinstall [21:20] caution: I see - that only works with aptitude [21:21] caution: does .. install work? [21:21] no [21:22] caution: definitely don't remove the core-utils!! [21:22] yeah, doesn't sound like a good idea [21:23] caution: sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude reinstall should be ok [21:24] alhtough aptitude has difficulties with the multi-arch feature [21:26] I don't have aptitude [21:27] if I install aptitude is it going to play nicely with apt and all the other existing stuff? [21:29] caution: I found it: sudo apt-get install --reinstall .... [21:30] oh cool [21:33] works [21:33] nice :) [21:34] caution: how in the world did you manage to lose that? (if you don't mind) [21:34] I was just curious about how to repair [21:35] I read that some malware modifies or delete them [21:35] I know it's important to completely reinstall if compromised though [21:36] before someone tells me :D [21:36] ah - you did not really lose them - but otoh if they are compromised what makes you believe that apt-get is still ok? [21:37] it might not be ok but it's worth a try [21:38] caution: no, it might pull in completely different things [21:38] haha === Ursinha_ is now known as Guest39454 === schmidtm_ is now known as schmidtm [22:51] Is there any way I can get a Preseeded installation to run something (say, a small script which calls apt-get install) on the first boot, then never again? [22:51] I'm trying to install phpMyAdmin and it obviously won't work in the installer because it wants to set up the MySQL database... bit tricky when mysqld isn't running. [22:53] philpem: add it to /etc/rc.local [22:54] (then in the script make it remove itself from rc.local when no longer needed) [22:54] kklimonda, as a late-command? hm. fair enough. [22:54] just wondering if there was a better way [22:57] philpem: create a package that removes itself? ;) [22:57] hi guys [22:57] but that wouldn't really be much easier [22:57] * kklimonda is surprised that dbconfig-common doesn't handle that [22:59] guys please help me, on my hosted server - i got a modified kernel whihc i cant install the kernel source_ how do i revet it back to dafeult kernel of ubuntu server.. [22:59] please help me gusy [22:59] ruben23: what do you mean by a "hosted server"? [23:00] kklimonda, dbconfig handles most things... it just can't deal with situations where mysqld isn't running, and you're installing an app which needs it :-/ [23:00] kklimonda: the server is hosted on a datacenter- now the issue is i cant install linux-source coz the kernel is modified not the default i want to revet it back to ubuntu server default kernel. [23:01] kklimonda: the server is hosted on a datacenter- now the issue is i cant install linux-source coz the kernel is modified not the default i want to revet it back to ubuntu server default kernel. [23:01] ruben23: it really depends on how this stuff is handled by the datacenter you have it installed in, and by what do you mean by server - is it a dedicated machine? if so have you tried installing a distro-provided kernel? [23:02] ruben23: maybe they provide source and headers for their kernel? [23:02] if it's a VPS - what kind of VPS is it? you can use stock kernel with xen and kvm VMs as long as you are provided with a way to change boot settings [23:03] philpem: well, I wouldn't call it "handling" then [23:03] kklimonda:i just want to remove the existing kernel and replaced it with default kernel of ubuntu server..how..? http://pastebin.com/r51zWhD3 [23:03] its dedicated im sure [23:04] kklimonda, :) [23:04] kklimonda, thing is, I want to be able to bring up a LAMP server using PXE, using a custom repo, and install everything I need to run a web app. turn-key, basically. [23:04] ruben23: have you tried installing a stock kernel and updating grub entries? [23:04] philpem: yeah, I get you [23:05] I wonder if it's some upstart issue [23:06] (i.e. if mysql is running during installation on Debian) [23:06] kklimonda:i havent yet started at all, im wating for your instruction before i start now [23:10] ruben23: I can't really help you with your problem - I don't know if Kimsufi (which is OVH reseller afair?) supports running stock distribution kernels, or if they provide source and headers for their custom kernels (they should). I can tell you the generic description (install a correct linux-image package, make sure that grub entries are updated) but it may as well break your server setup if the box is depending on some custom kernel [23:10] code [23:11] kklimonda, mysql *isn't* running during install [23:11] (you should just try to do it and see what happens - of course assuming it's testing server) [23:11] philpem: yes - but I wonder if that's an issue under Debian too [23:11] kklimonda, that's the problem -- phpmyadmin wants to create its database (to track DB relations and settings) but can't because MySQL isn't running :-/ [23:11] ah. [23:13] I'm just often curious about weird stuff like that [23:13] "did we break it in Ubuntu? Or why is it this way? What can be preseeding used for in this case? configuring phpmyadmin for a remote DB? But what about..." [23:14] indeed... [23:17] just need to figure out how to create a virtual machine 'template' for libvirt now. [23:18] something I can copy, give a unique MAC address to and kick off a Cobbler / Orchestra auto install [23:21] would not setting any mac make it generate a new one?
