[00:05] ChmEarl: thats a bit weird, since Ubuntu doesn't to my knowledge use /usr/lib64 [00:07] SpamapS, do you have an amd64 install? take a look at /usr [00:08] is anyone available to assist me with an issue with ip configurations? [00:12] ChmEarl: http://paste.ubuntu.com/930305/ [00:12] ChmEarl: no /usr/lib64 [00:12] MasterZuFu: I can try, though I'm only here for about 5 more minutes :) [00:13] ok. well....right now i'm trying to get a static ip on the server [00:14] even though i edited /etc/network/interfaces [00:14] and it says that eth0 is not configured. [00:14] right now it's on eth2. [00:14] i don't even see an eth0, it was there before, don't know what happened to it now... [00:15] sudo ifup eth0 doesn't work either. [00:15] MasterZuFu: eth0 is now named eth2? [00:16] sudo ifconfig eht0 up [00:16] eth0 up [00:16] echo: ERROR while getting interface flags: no such device [00:16] MasterZuFu: you should probably look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [00:17] MasterZuFu: did you change the NIC recently? [00:17] i changed a couple things. it's a virtual box server hosted on a windows 764bit box. [00:18] i had to change firewall rules to allow all to the specified ip address: 192.168.0.105 [00:18] but for some reason, my router has given it the ip 192.168.0.103 [00:18] ooops, those are backwards, it's supposed to be 103, but it gave it 105 [00:18] and eth0 isn't there anymore, now it's eth2, and eth2 has the wrong ip [00:19] MasterZuFu: it probably got renamed because you changed the emulated network card type, or because the MAC address changed [00:20] O.o? [00:21] see the file I mentioned earlier where rules are added in case of such changes (and feel free to edit/delete it, I suppose) [00:21] uh...ok. one sec [00:21] /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [00:22] Hi, I'm trying to setup a linux box to accept an ipv4 address, but it takes an ipv6 address anyway [00:22] it's got three dif rules in it. don't know what any of these mean. [00:22] looks like a mac address though [00:23] i have a modem running something called dmzplus mode, which dhcp assigns a public ipv4 address, I see the address it's supposedly giving my linux box, but its not the same address on the linux box === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [00:23] can anyone suggest how this might be happening? [00:23] this setup has worked in the past [00:23] I moved a bunch of equipment around today, and this started [00:24] MasterZuFu: can you put the contents of that file on a pastebin? [00:25] it'll take a sec. it's on a nother computer [00:26] http://www.pastebin.com/GRFem6NJ [00:28] SpamapS, thanks for the paste -- without that symlink my filesys is RO! I don't why the symlink fixes it [00:28] MasterZuFu: so it seems the VM is still emulating the same hardware, but changed the MAC address a couple of times... [00:29] odd. i fix this how? just delete the rules and restart the vm? [00:29] MasterZuFu: is that the complete line BTW? [00:30] uh.....not sure. that's what it shows on my config. [00:30] that copy and paste at its prime. [00:31] copy & paste from what? ☺ [00:31] from the terminal in the vm to the pastebin in the browsers [00:31] the lines starting with "SUBSYSTEM" aren't longer than that? [00:32] I mean, if you are using an editor, you might have to scroll to the right... [00:32] oh crap....it is..... O.0 i didn't even see that [00:33] uh....crap how do i copy that? O.o [00:33] use 'cat' or enable wrap in your editor or ... ;) [00:36] anyway, remove the lines that currently end in NAME="eth0" and NAME="eth1" then change the remaining line from "eth2" to "eth0" [00:37] http://www.pastebin.com/jcVtYQFe [00:37] there. that's the whole thing. [00:38] so i should just delete the whole thing? [00:39] MasterZuFu: that would work too, yes [00:39] ok let me see how that does. [00:39] and then restart the vm? [00:39] it will generate a new rule automatically then [00:40] MasterZuFu: I hope it doesn't create a new MAC address every time you restart it? [00:40] maybe only when you change something about it... [00:47] alright. seems that worked. however, i'm still not able to connect to the website hosted on it. local host within thevm works fine. [00:47] typing in the ip of the server on the host computer won't bring up the website, neither on a separate laptop. [00:48] SpamapS, there is no penalty of downside to making /usr/lib64 (symlink), it can only save trouble and avoid problems [00:49] or downside === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [01:21] New bug: #982012 in clamav (main) "package clamav-base 0.97.3+dfsg-2.1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/982012 [01:23] isn't there some ubuntu package that mirrors two servers?

Thanks for the help. === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [03:12] I just need a simple FTP server that allows user to upload files, and an easy admin. Which one do you recommend? [03:14] I recommend not using FTP [03:14] SFTP is in all ways superior, is easy to configure, and is probably already installed as it comes with the openssh-server [03:30] qman__, sorry i was away. thanks for the reply [08:09] question: get mouse movement values (esp. x / y delta) to stdout, preferrably w/o x? === quique is now known as sixstone [11:28] hey ive got a question about sas raid cards [11:29] im looking at buying one off ebay, is there anything i should stay away from? [12:45] resno: it probably saves people here a lot of effort if you ask about the particular one instead of asking about all the bad ones [12:46] RoyK: is there something i should avoid? [12:46] resno: it probably saves people here a lot of effort if you ask about the particular one instead of asking about all the bad ones [12:46] heh ok [12:46] can you put an sas card into a regular desktop mobo? [12:46] or does it use some kinda special connector? [12:46] ah, i see [12:46] never mind [12:47] it's just a SAS board [12:47] with SAS connectors [12:47] possibly mini-SAS [12:47] which should accept SAS drives and SATA drives [12:47] possibly a mix [12:47] so, something like this ServeRAID M5014 SAS Raid Card LSI 9620 8i [12:47] I use those without the RAID part on a few machines [12:48] that is, I have one with RAID-1 setup as well [12:48] works well [12:48] im considering going raid 5 when ever drives drop a bit more [12:48] but IIRC it lacks TRIM support, which might be suboptimal for SSD use [12:48] ill be going sata drive [12:49] but generally, LSI SAS boards are good [12:49] I mostly use those without RAID, though, for large storage systems, on openindiana/zfs [12:49] ah ok.. im new to doing this, will it be pretty easy? drive issues etc [12:50] it's simple, yes [12:50] and then i can use mdadm for raiding right? [12:51] well, either you get a RAID controller with 'hardware' RAID [12:51] or you use mdadm [12:51] which one to choose is up to you [12:52] yea, i dont want to be dependent on a hardware raid card... if it crashes [12:53] if you choose to use software raid, which I _know_ works well, you can probably save a bit by choosing a HBA without the RAID part [12:54] software RAID is very well tested - I'd guess something like 95%+ of the NAS products out there, use linux software RAID [12:54] wow, that much [12:54] just a wild guess [12:54] sounds good and ill believe [12:54] that is, I've never seen one _not_ running linux software raid [12:54] youve got to have like sized drives right [12:55] * RoyK has a few 100TB systems [12:55] this one is rather neat http://paste.ubuntu.com/930997/ [12:55] only ~80TiB, but still [12:57] wow, nice [12:58] but on striped mirrors, which is rather fast ;) [12:58] and with 2,5TB SSD cache... [13:02] RoyK: you cant run software raid on different sized drives right? [13:03] you can, but it's bound to be a mess [13:03] generally you should never use differently-sized drives in *any* raid [13:03] and there's no such thing as "hardware" raid, it's just the software being on a chip and not in the OS [13:03] fair enough [13:04] and - you should avoid using partitions and instead use whole drives in software raid - it eases growing things later [13:05] thats been my plan thus far [13:05] and if you want to run software raid, perhaps something like an LSI SAS 9211-8i might be better suited [13:05] it has no RAID support (apart from mirroring), but it's affordable and fast [13:06] * RoyK has a few of those controllers [13:06] what dont you have? [13:06] dunno :) === WaVeR` is now known as WaVeR === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [16:26] I'm having a problem with exclude patterns in rsnapshot [16:27] exclude patterns that work when passed to rsync don't seem to have any effect in the rsnapshot config file [16:33] http://pastebin.com/jGxgnksi === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [16:57] well, fixed that problem, had to remove the quotes [16:57] would be nice if that were documented anywhere [16:58] now USB3 is acting up, looks like bug 647973 [16:58] Launchpad bug 647973 in linux "USB 3.0: xhci_hcd WARN: Stalled endpoint" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/647973 [17:00] apparently fixed in 3.2 kernel, but doesn't do me any good on lucid [17:00] guess I'll just use the USB 2.0 ports for now [17:08] qman__: I'd guess a fix might come in a backport? [17:09] maybe, would be nice [17:09] not going to upgrade that server for a while [17:27] qman__, why not file the bug against 10.04 and see if it gets backported [17:27] hmm, why not just use the 3.2 kernel? [17:29] because that would require upgrading to precise [17:29] since? [17:29] and the last upgrade, hardy to lucid, didn't exactly go smoothly [17:30] hmm, there will be a percise to lucid kernel backport as soon as percise is released [17:30] I've been running 3.0.0 on lucid for awhile now [17:30] only reason I upgraded from hardy was my new network card wouldn't work with its kernel [17:31] ya, I'm going be running some tests [17:31] see if I will upgrade before or after 12.04.1 [17:32] and ever since the upgrade I can't see fscks, my screen is just blank with a cursor until they finish [17:32] sounds like a video kernel driver issue [17:32] which is especially troublesome since I have an 8.2TB filesystem to fsck occasionally [17:33] just have to see if the disk activity lights are on and hope it's working [17:34] that sounds like a bug [17:36] it's got something to do with plymouth, but I don't know what exactly [17:36] because I have a working screen, if I type stuff it shows [17:37] but my fsck isn't there and no key combinations bring it up [17:40] just really unhappy about the whole thing, I understand why they created this, but I don't understand why it's on servers too -- I used to just remove quiet splash and get exactly what I wanted, now it's basically impossible [17:42] spent days trying to figure it out on a different machine and gave up [18:14] any stunnel users around? [18:14] nope [18:14] Related question… do you need both private an public keys do terminate ssl connections? [18:14] to* [18:17] to terminate? [18:18] decrypt? [18:18] auth? [18:18] tern gibberish into non gibberish? [18:21] blendedbychris: I used stunnel way back when I still used Windows (~10 years ago, I think) [18:21] terminate = stop, disconnect, dismantle [18:21] at least AFAIR [18:22] sm00x: http://www.f5.com/glossary/ssl-termination.html [18:22] it's a common term. [18:22] you can configure stunnel to do any level of security/auth AFAIK [18:22] you guys aren't helping :) [18:22] so basically, it depends on how secure you want to be ;) [18:24] but in the most common case, you need a secret key at the server end, and a public key known to the client [18:25] if you want to be sure the client is really who they say they are, you also need a private key at the client with a an associated public key known at the server end [18:27] JanC: I'm actually referring to https... [18:27] http://www.koopman.me/2010/05/stunnel-can-run-multiple-ips-and-certs-in-one-instance/ [18:27] in that configuration there is no private key [18:27] which is confusing to me [18:27] blendedbychris: like I said, I used it almost 10 years ago [18:28] well this question is a bit broad though [18:28] with https do you need both a public and a private key? [18:28] in order to terminate the request [18:28] ah! [18:28] pem has both private and public keys [18:28] things you didn't know [18:29] right, so that config has private keys for each site? [18:30] both private and public key are stored in the pem [18:30] makes sense now…. i was used to calling two files [18:30] you need a different file at client [18:30] which only has the public key [18:31] (or at least a hash of it) [18:31] ya i assume stunnel just send the public [18:47] * kklimonda is reading about ubuntu orchestra and cringing at the usage rate of the "cloud" world [18:48] what's the current story for deploying and managing ubuntu on servers and desktops in a small business?
