[00:40] <qman__> question about rsnapshot: I've configured it with 7 daily and 2 weekly, what happens when I swap drives? does act like the gap never happened, or does it start over?
[02:39] <blendedbychris> any reason why after an apt-get purge and an apt-get install of the same package it recreates the config dirs but no files
[02:51] <krinaonkoder4> Hey testing connection
[02:51] <krinaonkoder4> Anyone on?
[04:46] <blendedbychris> no one lurking?
[04:46] <blendedbychris> trying to figure out how to configure stud
[04:48] <blendedbychris> well crap
[04:54] <qman__> !ask | blendedbychris
[04:54] <ubottu> blendedbychris: 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 !patience
[04:55] <blendedbychris> eh
[04:55] <blendedbychris> i'm just ranting
[04:55] <blendedbychris> any stud users? heh… setting up stunnel because i am convinced there's no decent documentation on stud.
[04:57] <qman__> I don't use either, sorry I can't help
[04:57] <qman__> but details will usually get you better answers
[04:57] <blendedbychris> just trying to figure out how to get started with either one at this point ....

[08:52] <knils> hello
[08:54] <knils> ne one can tell setting up email server in ubuntu
[08:57] <StevenR_> knils: please be more precise about what you want
[08:57] <StevenR_> knils: or rather, what you're trying to achieve
[08:58] <knils> i want to send mail from one pc to other through LAN
[08:58] <knils> i just configured DNS server in one pc using usuntu server guide
[08:59] <knils> but the book is specific bout mail server setup
[09:02] <knils> Stevan:??
[09:05] <StevenR_> ok... why are you trying to do that? Are you just experimenting, or do you have a set of requirements for business/personal use?
[09:06] <StevenR_> (there is no wrong answer to that question, it just useful to understand why)
[09:06] <knils> personal use as my UG project
[09:08] <StevenR_> so you just want to setup something to take mail from one box and pass it across the lan to another box to a mailbox on that?
[09:09] <knils> yes
[09:09] <StevenR_> via SMTP?
[09:11] <StevenR_> knils: via SMTP?
[09:13] <goddard> anyone know how to delete all mail messages for a certain user
[09:13] <goddard> I have 162840 messages
[09:13] <knils> stevner:how to set up
[09:14] <StevenR_> knils: well, assuming you want to do this via SMTP, configure an approriate internal domain on your DNS server (with MX records, etc)
[09:15] <StevenR_> knils: then configure one host as a generic mail server, and the other as the mailbox/mail host for your internal domain
[09:15] <StevenR_> knils: tbh, the exim4 ubuntu package runs through the basics at install time
[09:15] <knils> stevenr : i have configure dns with MX records
[09:16] <StevenR_> knils: well that's step one complete then :)
[09:16] <knils> stevenr: now i hv installed sendmail
[09:17] <StevenR_> knils: ok. Any particular reason why you chose sendmail?
[09:17] <knils> on box with dns server installed
[09:18] <knils> going threw perl book where in found it
[09:18] <knils> can i hv your email id to send  . config files to know every thing is ight
[09:19] <StevenR_> use a pastebin

[09:22] <knils> ok
[09:22] <StevenR_> (that way, anyone else playing along at home can see it too)
[09:23] <knils> ok sir
[09:24] <knils> http://paste.ubuntu.com/929160/
[09:26] <knils> .local file>>>>http://paste.ubuntu.com/929163/
[09:29] <StevenR_> ok. using dig, can you resolve names of those and get the right answer?
[09:33] <StevenR_> knils: and can you resolve other addresses such as google.com through that nameserver (again, test with dig)
[09:34] <knils> no
[09:35] <StevenR_> please be more specific
[09:38] <knils> stevenr: when i disconnect from my internet then i have to give "nameserver 192.168.1.104" to resolve file then "dig tk5cn.info' gives server ip
[09:39] <StevenR_> why do you need to disconnect from the internet?
[09:39] <knils> after connecting to internet it updates the resolve file and gives different SERVER ip in dig google.com
[09:39] <StevenR_> ah. um. yeah, you'll need to force it to use your internal DNS server
[09:40] <StevenR_> unless you're happy to keep disconnecting/reconnecting
[09:40] <StevenR_> ?
[09:41] <knils> ahmmmmmmmmm i m happy to do any thing to make this work
[09:42] <knils> its a hunch but it do entice my crave of exitement if i fing a ubuntu server guide with step by step events and screenshots for beginners:):)
[09:45] <StevenR_> well, you probably want to make it work with internet connection then
[09:46] <StevenR_> so, test it with dig
[09:46] <knils> no without internet connection
[09:46] <StevenR_> (use dig @DNSserverIP
[09:46] <StevenR_> huh?
[09:49] <knils> http://paste.ubuntu.com/929191/>>>>dig dnsip while being connected to internet
[09:49] <knils> http://paste.ubuntu.com/929191/
[09:53] <StevenR_> that paste shows nothing of much use. Please specify your dig command more precisely (read the manpage for dig)
[09:57] <knils> dns is working fine i can ping both ip and addr......wats next
[09:58] <StevenR_> setup one box as the mail host for the domain, and the other as a generic mail relay
[09:59] <StevenR_> (the box you've specified as your MX host in DNS should be the mail host, and the other box the relay)
[10:00] <StevenR_> the mail relay box should only accept connections from localhost for relaying
[10:04] <knils> ok
[10:05] <knils> now i should install sendmail on both client and server
[10:05] <StevenR_> knils: you could look at exim4, postfix or sendmail to do this
[10:06] <StevenR_> yes, if that's what you want to use. You're probably going to want the sendmail-cf package with that (it's probably called that, but apt-cache search will probably help if it's not)
[10:08] <StevenR_> the generic relay will probably require no setup
[10:08] <knils> sendmail-cf is installed
[10:09] <StevenR_> ok (that makes it easy to build the config if you need to)
[10:09] <knils> but i m not able to ping mail.tk5cn.info
[10:10] <knils> with ip 192.168.1.106
[10:10] <StevenR_> then your DNS is NOT setup correctly.
[10:10] <StevenR_> (that's why I wanted you to verify it properly with dig. Sending mail relies too heavily on DNS)
[10:12] <knils> http://paste.ubuntu.com/929223/
[10:13] <knils> is my>>>. @            IN     MX 1    mail.tk5cn.info record is fine
[10:16] <StevenR_> knils: but you need to test it and verify it with dig to prove that it works.
[10:17] <StevenR_> knils: it looks right, but you need to make sure that your bind (assuming you're using bind) configuration is correct and working.
[10:17] <StevenR_> to do that, you need dig :)
[10:17] <knils> yes its restarting fine
[10:18] <StevenR_> huh?
[10:18] <StevenR_> what do you mean?
[10:18] <knils> i can dig tk5cn.info perfectl
[10:19] <knils> i m using bind9 and its restarting fine
[10:20] <StevenR_> ok... can each box ping the other one, by IP ?
[10:20] <knils> yes
[10:20] <StevenR_> (if bind9 restarts fine, that just means the config is syntactically correct, it doesn't mean it will actually do what you want)
[10:20] <StevenR_> but you said you can't ping mail.tk5cn.info ?
[10:21] <StevenR_> you cna ping via IP, but not by name?
[10:21] <RoyK^> host mail.tk5cn.info ip.of.dns.server
[10:22] <knils> no i cant ping mail.tk5cn.info not with ip either
=== RoyK^ is now known as RoyK
[10:22] <knils> which is 192.168.1.106
[10:23] <StevenR_> then you have an underlying network issue that you need to resolve
[10:23] <knils> i can ping ns.tk5cn.info with ip 192.168.1.104
[10:24] <StevenR_> but you can't ping 192.168.1.106 ?
[10:24]  * RoyK wonders how on earth that can be relevant to dns
[10:24] <knils> no
[10:25] <StevenR_> knils: sounds like you need to check the connectivity on 192.168.1.106
[10:25] <StevenR_> whichever box that is
[10:26] <knils> Royk:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/929233/
[10:26] <RoyK> knils: so, your dns server answers correctly
[10:27] <knils> Royk: yes
[10:27]  * RoyK thought there was a dns problem
[10:28]  * RoyK is slightly confused
[10:28] <knils> Royk its not pinging 192.168.1.106 ip for mail.tk5cn.info which i gave manualy  in .zone file and in .local file with "PTR"
[10:29] <StevenR_> knils: can you ping by IP alone (forget DNS for the moment)
[10:29] <StevenR_> ?
[10:29] <RoyK> knils: negative dns caching on the client?
[10:29] <knils> Stevenr: no
[10:30] <knils> Royk i cant ping from the one i installed dns server
[10:30] <StevenR_> knils: then look into getting that working (check cables/IP config FIRST) FORGET DNS FOR THE MOMENT.
[10:31]  * RoyK hands StevenR_ a cookie
[10:31] <StevenR_> mmmmmm.... COOOOOKKKKIIIEEEEE

[10:35] <StevenR_> knils: have you fixed your connectivity problem yet?
[10:38] <knils> steven:  connectivity is fine
[10:39] <knils> i dont understand where is the problem
[10:39] <StevenR_> can you ping 192.168.1.106 ?
[10:39] <StevenR_> from 192.168.1.104 ? (and vice versa)
[10:40] <knils> no
[10:40] <knils> the book i followed says>>>    MX record: Used to define where email should be sent to. Must point to an A record, not a CNAME. IN  mail MX IN A 1 mail.example.com. 192.168.1.13
[10:40] <knils> Steenr
[10:40] <StevenR_> if you can't ping between hosts then there's no point in going further
[10:40] <StevenR_> you need to check and fix the connectivity problem that you appear to have
[10:41] <knils> i can ping 192.168.1.104
[10:41] <StevenR_> from where?
[10:41] <knils> from client and server
[10:41] <StevenR_> from where precisely?
[10:41] <StevenR_> I have no idea what your "client" and "server" are
[10:42] <knils> the one i installed dns is my server
[10:42] <StevenR_> which is?
[10:42] <StevenR_> (IP address?)
[10:42] <knils> and one connected to it with lan cable is client
[10:42]  * RoyK hands StevenR_ a beer for the effort
[10:42] <knils> server ip> 192.168.1.104
[10:43] <knils> client 192.168.1.2
[10:43] <StevenR_> so what is 192.168.1.106 ?
[10:44] <knils> 192.168.1.106  is the ip of mail.tk5cn.info "a new record that i gave manually in .zone file"
[10:44] <StevenR_> knils: can you ping 192.168.1.106 ?
[10:44] <StevenR_> from 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.104 ?
[10:44] <knils> Stevenr no i cant ping .106
[10:44] <knils> from any serv or clint
[10:45] <StevenR_> knils: so which device has the IP address 192.168.1.106?
[10:45] <StevenR_> knils: making up an IP address in a DNS zone file DOES NOT MAKE IT REAL
[10:45] <knils> "making up an IP address in a DNS zone file DOES NOT MAKE IT REAL"   yes yes
[10:45] <knils> tats wat i m thinking
[10:46] <StevenR_> what?
[10:46] <knils> the book i followed >> Ubuntu Server Guide :said to do so
[10:47] <StevenR_> so.. you've made up a mailserver IP address and expect to be able to set up mail on a server that DOES NOT ACTUALLY EXIST?

[15:00] <pangolin> hmm, read only file system does not sound like a good thing
[15:00] <pabelanger> well this stinks
[15:00] <pabelanger> E: Internal Error, No file name for libssl1.0.0
[15:00] <pythonirc101> pangolin:  how do I fix a read-only file system...and how did I get a read only file system in the first place -- suddenly?
[15:00] <pangolin> pythonirc101, did you have an unclean shutdown?
[15:01] <pangolin> assuming this is a server and reboots are not usually welcome, but a reboot should fix it.
[15:02] <pythonirc101> pangolin: trying reboot
[15:07] <qman__> pythonirc101, pangolin mount --remount o=rw
[15:07] <qman__> err, no
[15:07] <qman__> mount -o=remount,rw
[15:10] <qman__> but if it's mounted read only, it's probably for a reason
[15:11] <pythonirc101> reboot fixed
[15:12] <pangolin> pythonirc101, you did the /forcechk thing?
[15:12] <pangolin> also, don't cross post because it divides the helpers attention and is rude :)
[15:17] <pythonirc101> pangolin: nope. how can I do that?
[15:18] <pangolin> pythonirc101, exactly my point, you asked the same question in #ubuntu but missed the response. in any case the issue is resolved.
[15:19] <pangolin> granted the response was not directed at you.
[15:19] <pangolin> llutz> L3top: sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo reboot
[15:20] <qman__> probably want to do that anyway
[15:20] <qman__> but be aware that if you have a large filesystem it will take a long time
[15:20] <qman__> my 8.2T raid takes around three or four hours
[15:21] <pythonirc101> thanks
[15:22] <pythonirc101> pangolin: I don't have access to the boot screen
[15:23] <pythonirc101> If I do a forcefsck, does it need user input?
[15:23] <qman__> no, you just create that file in the root, and if it finds it, it will run an fsck
[15:23] <pythonirc101> otherwise I'll just get stuck -- since I don't have access to bios or boot time
[15:23] <pythonirc101> qman__: will fsck need user input by any chance?
[15:24] <qman__> only if there are errors
[15:24] <pangolin> that command is run in one line. it creates the file and then reboots the computer, if the file exists it will do a file system check
[15:24] <qman__> headless server?
[15:24] <pythonirc101> indeed
[15:24] <pythonirc101> pangolin: Its a VPS. If the boot needs IO, I'm dead
[15:24] <pythonirc101> It needs a clean boot
[15:25] <qman__> uh
[15:25] <pythonirc101> Since the only way I can access it is ssh
[15:25] <qman__> your VPS provider should have given you a shell to the local head
[15:26] <qman__> either through a web interface or an alternate port SSH or something
[15:26] <pythonirc101> I'll have to ask
[15:26] <pythonirc101> for now I only have ssh after the server is up
[15:27] <qman__> that's fine for normal use but they really should give you some kind of maintenance access
[15:27] <qman__> good providers do
[15:28] <qman__> or at least free assistance in doing those things
[15:29] <pythonirc101> I'll delay the fsck once I hear from vps provider.

[17:45] <RoyK> are you sure it has one?
[17:48] <jkyle> doesn't there have to be some way to gain shell access?
[17:56] <Myrtti> well I don't know how different that usecase is, but usually ubuntu in general doesn't have a root password
[17:56] <Myrtti> so as RoyK asked, are you sure it has one? Perhaps it has a user with sudo access

[18:03] <jkyle> Myrtti: this would be a special cass. I'm using the MaaS system to pxe boot clients
[18:05] <RoyK> jkyle: it most probably does not have a root password, but it should have an account with sudo access
[18:05] <jkyle> either or, mostly looking for what that account and pass might be and were it's stored in the maas etc's

[20:40] <RoyK> how do you check that from the commandline?
[20:41] <wmp> i dont know how to check this

[20:48] <wmp> emmm, i want to have in mon_decimal_point => ,
[20:48] <wmp> now i have empty
[20:48] <wmp> and this break my php app
[21:07] <RoyK> wmp: it's empty here too with my locale - if that breaks your php app, fix the app!
[21:07] <RoyK> wmp: and btw, I think this question fits better at ##php
