=== metzthepest is now known as metasansana === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away === cpg is now known as cpg|away [03:34] hiyas xnox [03:35] * xnox only lurks here when mdadm/lvm/cryptsetup comes up in a conversation [03:37] 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] He then asked if I could re-create the VM [03:38] I had his old ipV4 address still un allocated, and asked if he would be okay to run 12.10 server [03:38] He said that he would be delighted [03:39] I installed it and it hangs on the splash screen of four dots.... [03:39] As to why the heck server edition 12.10 has a splash.... pass. [03:39] he has 12.04 working happily [03:41] 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. [03:43] 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 :'( [03:47] phillw: do you have physical access to it / is it a VM? [03:48] boot second time -> choose recover -> remove "splash" => boot [03:48] or hold down right shift I think to access that menu on first boot. [03:48] the dedicated machine lives in France, I'm in UK [03:49] I have one spare ipV4 for a fully set up VM if you'd like to use it. [04:08] 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. === cpg|away is now known as cpg [04:42] * ScottK thought the splash thing was supposed to be removed for 12.04 server. === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [05:30] can anybody tell me if it is a good idea to install lamp on my computer [05:47] ariel__: Do you have a use for a lamp stack on your computer? [05:48] well how much space exacly does there need be [05:51] 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. [05:53] how does lamp work like how do you configure it to have a web address === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte === n0ts_off is now known as n0ts === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === glebihan_ is now known as glebihan === cpg is now known as cpg|away === bhosmer_ is now known as bhosmer === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === bhosmer_ is now known as bhosmer === n0ts is now known as n0ts_off [11:17] <_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: [11:18] <_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] <_johnny> (for reference, i've been using http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/appnote/19386.html) === n0ts_off is now known as n0ts === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [13:04] Hallo, Im in MAAS with w3m, but if I select Add node, below appear the written `is not found` can you explain if I'm doing something wrong === IdleOne is now known as Guest336 === Guest336 is now known as IdleOne === n0ts is now known as n0ts_off [15:55] is openVPN compatible with VPNSec or Cisco IntErconnect? [15:55] anyconnect rather [15:57] no, OpenVPN uses its own SSL VPN method [16:01] okay, [16:01] thanks === cpg|away is now known as cpg === bitmonk_ is now known as bitmonk [19:04] 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? [19:07] i7c: can I ask why you would encrypt /home? [19:08] runs on an notebook which sometimes is unattended and it contains personal data [19:09] -an +a [19:09] i7c: a notebook running server edition? [19:10] yes indeed. an old netbook, just does its job perfectly :) [19:12] I'm still puzzled - When the server goes to sleep - servers do not go to sleep? [19:13] 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] 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] which means it is not running as a server, as they do not. [19:14] phillw: sorry, i didn't get that === cpg is now known as cpg|away [19:16] i7c: using ecryption on a server is not the best way forward, I'd suggest setting up a LUKS area. [19:17] i7c: you can either use ecryptfs or dm-crypt (LUKS) [19:17] phillw: so i would install ubuntu server without /home partition encryption and set the area up after the installation? [19:17] i7c: what do you think encryption achieves on your system? [19:17] 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. [19:18] i7c: ecryptfs can be added/removed as needed. dm-crypt (aka cryptsetup aka LUKS) needs a separate partition. [19:18] 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" [19:19] i7c: please note, when the partitions are mounted & unlocked (unencrypted) that means that anyone can access those files (if they gain root for example) [19:20] xnox: i meant that processes running with my user name can't access /home/myusername anymore after i logged out [19:20] i7c: encryption will prevent somebody stealing the netbook and then trying to access the data. [19:20] xnox: that's alright, i understood [19:20] i7c: yes. you can choose not to logout, or keep ecryptfs unlocked if you want. [19:21] xnox: how do i keep it unlocked? is there a setting? [19:21] i7c: http://superuser.com/questions/339829/ecryptfs-not-automatically-unmount [19:21] i7c: delete ~/.ecryptfs/auto_umount. Its an empty file so you can restore it with touch [19:22] xnox: i see! nice. [19:22] well i'll read a bit about ecryptfs and dm-crypt :) thanks xnox, phillw for your help! === cpg|away is now known as cpg [19:53] 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? [19:54] Troy^: yes. [19:55] xnox: what is best suggested for doing this? [19:55] Troy^: use the installer, it has support for raid1. it will use mdadm [19:55] oh ok [19:55] that's perfect thanks [19:56] Troy^: manual partitioning is your friend ;-) [19:57] 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] Troy^: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/index.html [19:58] Troy^: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/advanced-installation.html#software-raid [20:00] thanks [20:01] 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.. [20:03] sounds good. Don't forget transmission web interface ;-) [20:04] 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 [20:05] plus 80GB drives in Raid 1 doesn't allow for much space [20:25] xnox: just to show you http://puu.sh/WT0J [20:25] i have a 50mb download and a 30mb upload [20:25] Troy^: nice =) [20:26] Troy^: hostname.local should work on your LAN for nicer URLs =) [20:28] yea i'm going to have to setup a dns as well. ip is dynamic [20:29] oh i see my router has that option lol [20:29] i guess i just need to sign up with either dydns or no-ip [20:48] Troy^: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw#Web_Hosting [21:21] Troy^: when you are on local network, you have zeroconf and you can access all your machines using hostname.local [21:21] myserver.local mylaptop.local etc. === cpg is now known as cpg|away [21:50] 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. [21:51] I've setup transport maps with: domain.com smtp:[mail.domain.com] and postmapped [21:51] I've removed the domain to be relayed from virtual_alias* and added it to relay_domains [21:52] I'm getting a mail loops back to myself error... and I've hit a wall... [21:53] Im looking at using relayhost - but relaying ALL mail would be bad... [22:19] indeed... one should remember to restart dnsmasq after making changes to hostnames and such... [22:37] 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? [22:38] is the naming/order based on the order in which the devices are defined in the Libvirt domain configuration? [22:44] can you install ubuntu server from usb? also can you get an older comp to boot from usb [22:49] also is there an alternative to puttty [22:54] Troy^: you can install from usb. you can try network/pxe-boot (see mini & netinst cds) instead of usb/cds [22:54] Troy^: alternative to putty on windows? [22:55] on windows i recommend http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ [22:55] which comes with usable openss-client & usable bash terminal [22:56] You can also use actual ssh if you install cygwin [23:00] cygwin is too much when all you need is just a shell =) [23:01] hmm network/pxe boto eh [23:01] boot* [23:08] hmm looking for a nice dont [23:08] font*
