| * xnox only lurks here when mdadm/lvm/cryptsetup comes up in a conversation | 03:35 | |
| phillw | xnox: one of the guys I run a VM area for found a new server system and released his VM back into our pool. A few days later, he said that it was a big mistake | 03:37 |
| phillw | He then asked if I could re-create the VM | 03:37 |
| phillw | I had his old ipV4 address still un allocated, and asked if he would be okay to run 12.10 server | 03:38 |
| phillw | He said that he would be delighted | 03:38 |
| phillw | I installed it and it hangs on the splash screen of four dots.... | 03:39 |
| phillw | As to why the heck server edition 12.10 has a splash.... pass. | 03:39 |
| phillw | he has 12.04 working happily | 03:39 |
| phillw | I have one free ipV4 if you guys want to go play. It's on an OVH dedicated server, so you guys need to sort out stuff. | 03:41 |
| phillw | stgraber: was kind enough to pass me http://paste.ubuntu.com/1146080/ but as the server hangs on boot, it's not a lot of help to me :'( | 03:43 |
| xnox | phillw: do you have physical access to it / is it a VM? | 03:47 |
| xnox | boot second time -> choose recover -> remove "splash" => boot | 03:48 |
| xnox | or hold down right shift I think to access that menu on first boot. | 03:48 |
| phillw | the dedicated machine lives in France, I'm in UK | 03:48 |
| phillw | I have one spare ipV4 for a fully set up VM if you'd like to use it. | 03:49 |
| phillw | xnox: one of the things flagged in the recent survey from balloons (Nicholas) is that people consider QA to be "It works out of the box", currently 12.10 server does not. | 04:08 |

| ariel__ | can anybody tell me if it is a good idea to install lamp on my computer | 05:30 |
| andol | ariel__: Do you have a use for a lamp stack on your computer? | 05:47 |
| ariel__ | well how much space exacly does there need be | 05:48 |
| andol | ariel__: Well, for an exact answer that really depends on what depending libraries etc you already have installed. But for the basic packages I'd say 30MB or so. | 05:51 |
| ariel__ | how does lamp work like how do you configure it to have a web address | 05:53 |

| _johnny | hi, i have a "bad" question on lvm. bad, because i've never used lvm, and neither has my buddy, on the box he has. i'm working through some tutorials to try and see if i can debug, so.. sorry for the ignorant question: | 11:17 |
| _johnny | we have 4 drives, two lvms with two drives each. vgs shows one of them, but the other is missing. pvscan/vgscan shows only the one, and "in no VG: 0". all drives seem fine with smartctl, so i'm wondering if a switch in drive letters is at fault here? lvm is suppose to scan all /dev/*, so i'm not sure what our next move is | 11:18 |

| MoleMan-TP | is openVPN compatible with VPNSec or Cisco IntErconnect? | 15:55 |

| MoleMan-TP | okay, | 16:01 |

| i7c | hi, i would like to use disk encryption on my ubuntu server, but i dont like the fact that it unmounts /home when no one is logged in to the system. how can i change that? | 19:04 |
| phillw | i7c: can I ask why you would encrypt /home? | 19:07 |
| i7c | runs on an notebook which sometimes is unattended and it contains personal data | 19:08 |
| i7c | -an +a | 19:09 |
| phillw | i7c: a notebook running server edition? | 19:09 |
| i7c | yes indeed. an old netbook, just does its job perfectly :) | 19:10 |
| phillw | I'm still puzzled - When the server goes to sleep - servers do not go to sleep? | 19:12 |
| i7c | i didnt say it goes to sleep. it runs but it seems that when nobody is _logged in_ the /home partition is not mounted anymore | 19:13 |
| i7c | so if i have processes running that want to read/write on home i start them and detach them, logout and they dont work anymore :/ | 19:13 |
| phillw | which means it is not running as a server, as they do not. | 19:13 |
| i7c | phillw: sorry, i didn't get that | 19:14 |
| === cpg is now known as cpg|away | ||
| phillw | i7c: using ecryption on a server is not the best way forward, I'd suggest setting up a LUKS area. | 19:16 |
| xnox | i7c: you can either use ecryptfs or dm-crypt (LUKS) | 19:17 |
| i7c | phillw: so i would install ubuntu server without /home partition encryption and set the area up after the installation? | 19:17 |
| phillw | i7c: what do you think encryption achieves on your system? | 19:17 |
| xnox | i7c: what do you mean by "unmounts home"? When you use ecryptfs the users home directory is unmounted, but it is only "/home/user" not all of home. | 19:17 |
| xnox | i7c: ecryptfs can be added/removed as needed. dm-crypt (aka cryptsetup aka LUKS) needs a separate partition. | 19:18 |
| phillw | xnox: I'd suggest that i7c does that, as an area to be kept 'seperate' is not the same as the maddening "do you want to encypt your home directory" | 19:18 |
| xnox | i7c: please note, when the partitions are mounted & unlocked (unencrypted) that means that anyone can access those files (if they gain root for example) | 19:19 |
| i7c | xnox: i meant that processes running with my user name can't access /home/myusername anymore after i logged out | 19:20 |
| xnox | i7c: encryption will prevent somebody stealing the netbook and then trying to access the data. | 19:20 |
| i7c | xnox: that's alright, i understood | 19:20 |
| xnox | i7c: yes. you can choose not to logout, or keep ecryptfs unlocked if you want. | 19:20 |
| i7c | xnox: how do i keep it unlocked? is there a setting? | 19:21 |
| xnox | i7c: http://superuser.com/questions/339829/ecryptfs-not-automatically-unmount | 19:21 |
| xnox | i7c: delete ~/.ecryptfs/auto_umount. Its an empty file so you can restore it with touch | 19:21 |
| i7c | xnox: i see! nice. | 19:22 |
| i7c | well i'll read a bit about ecryptfs and dm-crypt :) thanks xnox, phillw for your help! | 19:22 |

| Troy^ | hey guys i'm putting together a 800mhz p3 ubuntu sever for the house i got two 80gb ide hard drives and i think i want to raid them. in Raid 1 can this mainly be done by a software raid? | 19:53 |
| xnox | Troy^: yes. | 19:54 |
| Troy^ | xnox: what is best suggested for doing this? | 19:55 |
| xnox | Troy^: use the installer, it has support for raid1. it will use mdadm | 19:55 |
| Troy^ | oh ok | 19:55 |
| Troy^ | that's perfect thanks | 19:55 |
| xnox | Troy^: manual partitioning is your friend ;-) | 19:56 |
| Troy^ | i;m fairly new to the whole thing. have some experience. i think there is not a better way then to make a little server for the house. even though not exactly sure what i'll be doing with it yet. I should find some things fairly quickly though. | 19:57 |
| xnox | Troy^: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/index.html | 19:57 |
| xnox | Troy^: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/advanced-installation.html#software-raid | 19:58 |
| Troy^ | thanks | 20:00 |
| Troy^ | I know for sure i'll use it to backup pictures, run subsonic music server, probablly a little webserver and possibly a teamspeak/ventrilo server.. | 20:01 |
| xnox | sounds good. Don't forget transmission web interface ;-) | 20:03 |
| Troy^ | BT, i assume lol.. Well right now I have a HTPC hooked to my television that uses newsgroups. It has SabNZBD, Couch potato and Sick Beard installed | 20:04 |
| Troy^ | plus 80GB drives in Raid 1 doesn't allow for much space | 20:05 |
| Troy^ | xnox: just to show you http://puu.sh/WT0J | 20:25 |
| Troy^ | i have a 50mb download and a 30mb upload | 20:25 |
| xnox | Troy^: nice =) | 20:25 |
| xnox | Troy^: hostname.local should work on your LAN for nicer URLs =) | 20:26 |
| Troy^ | yea i'm going to have to setup a dns as well. ip is dynamic | 20:28 |
| Troy^ | oh i see my router has that option lol | 20:29 |
| Troy^ | i guess i just need to sign up with either dydns or no-ip | 20:29 |
| phillw | Troy^: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw#Web_Hosting | 20:48 |
| xnox | Troy^: when you are on local network, you have zeroconf and you can access all your machines using hostname.local | 21:21 |
| xnox | myserver.local mylaptop.local etc. | 21:21 |

| internalkernel | I have a postfix relay issue - mail server has existing virtual domains, and only one is being moved to a new server.... I'm trying to relay that one single domain. | 21:50 |
| internalkernel | I've setup transport maps with: domain.com smtp:[mail.domain.com] and postmapped | 21:51 |
| internalkernel | I've removed the domain to be relayed from virtual_alias* and added it to relay_domains | 21:51 |
| internalkernel | I'm getting a mail loops back to myself error... and I've hit a wall... | 21:52 |
| internalkernel | Im looking at using relayhost - but relaying ALL mail would be bad... | 21:53 |
| internalkernel | indeed... one should remember to restart dnsmasq after making changes to hostnames and such... | 22:19 |
| daff | what is the expected behaviour in ubuntu 12.04 regarding the naming of network interfaces in KVM/Libvirt VMs? Since 75-persistent-net-generator.rules ignores KVM virtual NICs, how does the virtualized Ubuntu know which virtual NIC will be eth0, eth1, etc? | 22:37 |
| daff | is the naming/order based on the order in which the devices are defined in the Libvirt domain configuration? | 22:38 |
| Troy^ | can you install ubuntu server from usb? also can you get an older comp to boot from usb | 22:44 |
| Troy^ | also is there an alternative to puttty | 22:49 |
| xnox | Troy^: you can install from usb. you can try network/pxe-boot (see mini & netinst cds) instead of usb/cds | 22:54 |
| xnox | Troy^: alternative to putty on windows? | 22:54 |
| xnox | on windows i recommend http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ | 22:55 |
| xnox | which comes with usable openss-client & usable bash terminal | 22:55 |
| genii-around | You can also use actual ssh if you install cygwin | 22:56 |
| xnox | cygwin is too much when all you need is just a shell =) | 23:00 |
| Troy^ | hmm network/pxe boto eh | 23:01 |
| Troy^ | boot* | 23:01 |
| Troy^ | hmm looking for a nice dont | 23:08 |
| Troy^ | font* | 23:08 |
