raydog45000Hello, I just set up a server and am trying to add users, I use sudo useradd -m -k /home/john john, then set a password, when I login to it it doesn't say the name@servername it just shows $13:13
raydog45000does anyone have an idea?13:15
twbSo it turns out that if you set a slapd ppolicy to warn users a week before their password expires, that doesn't actually mean anything will warn them13:15

arbirhello17:36
arbirhow can i find a list of packages that would be deployed with 12.04 lts ?17:36
MysticJayHi, anyone here to help me with uspd?17:38
tombs1171Is there anyone here who can help with postfix?17:41
bazhangtry #postfix ?17:43
tombs1171will do, thanks17:43
kklimondaarbir: what do you mean? what packages get installed depends on what you choose to install17:43
bazhangarbir, that would be #ubuntu+117:43
arbirok.. for example… which version of php would come with the 12.04 server?17:44
mcloywhat php mailing method is better for heavy email mailing on a site ? sendmail or something else?17:44
arbirwhich version of apache ? 22 or 2417:44
mcloyor setup an smtp server.. fully17:44
arbirthats what i meant.17:44
kklimondaarbir: you can more or less browse https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise for those answers, or install precise somewhere and see it directly17:46
arbirkklimonda: thanks… looking up is good.. but installing and checking is too much work.17:46
kklimondaarbir: if you know package name you can also use rmadison to get its version in all releases17:47
kklimondathat would include precise17:47
arbirthis link u gave me is good… thanks!17:48
MysticJayHi, I installed nut and think I have configured it correctly, but on boot the upsd seems to complain about beeing not configured.17:49

oApocalypseyes sorry20:15
Patrickdkoh? I read that as his thunderbird harddrive20:15
oApocalypsei have a seperate hard drive in the linux server thats 1tb didicated to share20:15

oApocalypseand windows 7 is showing the share at 142gb20:16
Patrickdkatleast I know mine all show up as like 32gigs free disk space, when I have like 5tb free20:16
oApocalypsei just reached the 142gb capacity through my windows machine20:16

stgraberjjohansen: the suggestion is that it could be related to deleted files and that mediate_deleted might help20:31

jjohansenstgraber: so I can believe that is the case, though I would have expected a log message there.  Of course we have a couple of bugs around logging of things that have logging surpressed20:33
jjohansenstgraber: normally you wouldn't need the mediate_deleted flag because the file labeling and task labeling generally match for deleted files20:33
jjohansenunfortunately if this is a mediate deleted case, all we can do atm is add the flag20:34

Spartan29RoyK, i don't know... how can i know?20:35
jjohansenI should probably create a bug about not getting a log message for this as well20:35
oApocalypseanyone able to tell me what my issue is see,s ;ole evil and gunt left20:35
RoyKSpartan29: heh - you should know20:35
oApocalypseseems like*20:35
RoyKSpartan29: is that disk with that ntfs filesystem physically connected to the linux machine?20:35

mcloyhow can i know that sendmail installed is working and will send mails (i have a phpscript that says it send mails. but actually i never recieve the mail in my inbox) ?20:36
RoyKmcloy: postfix or exim?20:37
AngtagapagligtCan someone write me to show my sister how a IRC chat works? :)20:37
RoyKAngtagapagligt: install an irc client on her machine...20:37
mcloyRoyK,  using sendmail20:37
oApocalypseive been abandoned20:37
RoyKmcloy: sendmail???20:37
mcloyRoyK,  yes20:37
AngtagapagligtRoyK :) No she just wanna have a look :)20:37
* RoyK stopped using sendmail sometime at the end of the 1990s20:38
RoyKAngtagapagligt: offtopic...20:38
* RoyK will probably start using sendmail again once QBASIC gets popular again20:39
Spartan29RoyK, yes the disk is internal at the pc, but i don't know if it's mounted with ntfs-3g or fuse, but maybe probably withe ntfs-3g20:41
RoyKntfs-3g uses fuse20:42
RoyKSpartan29: now, if sharing files with a windows machine, on a linux server, using ntfs, why oh why do it that way?20:44
RoyKSpartan29: or is this a dual boot desktop?20:44
oApocalypseif im tryin to copy one entire directory to another i would do cp /directory /directory correct?20:51
Rapid2214If it fails, use the -r parmameter20:53
Rapid2214Depending on what your coping20:53
oApocalypseyea it says cp: omitting directory20:53
Rapid2214Yh, use -r or -R20:53
Rapid2214I think they do the same things20:54
Rapid2214 -R, -r, --recursive          copy directories recursively20:54
oApocalypseits 142gb so it will take awhile then correct20:55
oApocalypseand im in command prompt so they show no progress20:55
Rapid2214You can use rsync for that amount of data, then if it fails it wont take years to do it all again20:55
Spartan29RoyK, yes this is a dual boot pc for some maintenance on files /24 for dw files, and i want access a folder with films that is on the drive used to store films (once the'yre completed). The access at these files must be obtained by windows or other inux boxes present in my lan.20:55
oApocalypselol to late20:55
Rapid2214rsync -Pav /folder /foler220:55
Rapid2214Is what I would usually use for anything +40GB20:56
oApocalypsersync is a default command?20:56
RoyKSpartan29: don't use ntfs on a linux server, use ext4 or something20:56
Rapid2214Installed by default on ubuntu20:56
RoyKSpartan29: if it's a dual boot pc, it's not a server, and this is the wrong channel20:56
oApocalypsewell i shall try that if i get a failure20:57
oApocalypsei see the hd light flickering away lol20:58
oApocalypseill check back on it in awhile20:58

guntbertmcloy: are you experienced with configuring mail servers?21:35
guntbertmcloy: if not I suggest 1) take care 2) read https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html  3) take care 4) follow (2)21:37
mcloyguntbert,  doing it the first time21:40
mcloyguntbert,  no configs are needed for sendmail.......21:40
Rapid2214Your local mail server is denying relay21:41
guntbertmcloy: a *very serious*  word of caution ™ : misconfigure mail servers are the bane of the internet (-> spam)  and are not regarded well by the rest of legit admins - trouble might lie ahead21:41
guntbert*misconfigured21:42
Rapid2214Guntbert +1 - Its burnt me before :)21:42
guntbertRapid2214: well, that is ONE mistake I didn't make ... ;-)21:43
guntbertmcloy: uninstall sendmail and use postfix - and when it asks you what kind of server you want to run choose the most local version possible21:44
mcloyguntbert,  hmm. so not use sendmail..       can you tell whats wrong by looking at the 2 errores ?21:47
mcloyguntbert,  which is the most easiest mail server?21:48
guntbertmcloy: as I said read https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html   - they are talking about postfix, keep in mind what I said above about the initial setting21:49
mcloywhat about sendmail?21:50
mcloyguntbert,  you there?21:53
guntbertmcloy: don't touch it, it might bite :)21:54
mcloyguntbert,  seriously.. why dont you recomend it ? :)21:56
guntbertmcloy: it is a big old complicated beast with a lot of badly understandable options and cross effects21:57
mcloyguntbert,  do i need my server to be made as  FQDN.21:57
guntbertmcloy: I don#t know for waht you need it21:58
guntbert*what21:58
mcloyfully qualified domain  name.  someone told me i need to configure it21:59
mcloyguntbert,  ok. so ill leave sendmail.....     which one do you recomend is the easiest to tackle. postfix qmail or exim ?22:00
guntbertmcloy: no, for what purpose do you need the mail sever?22:00
mcloymaking a php site. and many of its heavy function sinclude email sending22:01
guntbertand I say "use postfix" for the 3rd time :)22:01
mcloyguntbert,  basically iam a php guy22:01
mcloyguntbert,  ok...... :)22:01
mcloyi know nothing about linux22:01
mcloyguntbert,  iam going to install postfix. how long are you online ?22:02
guntbertmcloy: my advice: get someone to help you with that mail server part - or leave that part out for the beginning -22:02
guntbertmcloy: I'm on my way to bed  - Good luck :-)22:02
mcloyill do it myself22:04
mcloythx ! :)22:04
guntbertmcloy: one last caveat: pleas do read a little about the danger of "open mail relays"22:05
mcloy how to purge remove an application?22:05
mcloyguntbert, ill block the ips and allow only one. or the local host. as the webhost is the same machine as iam goin to install postfix on...22:05
