[01:45] <Kentos> Hey everyone
[01:47] <Kentos> im having ome troubles with a website, using a file manager the preview shows a background image however when i load the site via my browser no background image is visable
[01:49] <Kentos> i coded it in using plain text, but the editor has a default editor and a switch to plain text option, the images in the directory that are used as image files are not showing
[02:06] <Kentos> anyone familiar with website file management?
[05:25] <mysteriousdarren> Kentos: yets
[05:25] <mysteriousdarren> Kentos: yes
[05:51] <Kentos> hey mysterious
[05:52] <nooo> One of my servers is getting a dependency error whenever I try to install or update a package, results of apt-get -f install: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1208279/
[07:50] <Kentos> anyone able to help me out here a bit?
[07:55] <Myrtti> Kentos: difficult to know without knowing your problem
[07:56] <Kentos> true no need to ask if no ones paying attention though =P
[07:57] <Kentos> im wondering how i would associate a domain name with my WAN address, ive tried forwarding, but thats still shows an actual IP as the root of the file systemn
[07:58] <Kentos> i did a masked forward however that still showed the IP on the bottom link reference, where the browser stays at the .com address bar, but the links all point to the IP
[08:02] <marw> hello. anyone got nginx+php working?
[08:02] <marw> what permissions should the www folder have?
[08:04] <Kentos> i've gotten php working before, you have to set certain user/group priviledges, read and write for them
[08:04] <lordievader> Good morning
[08:05] <Kentos> morning
[08:05] <Kentos> lord, have you any webserver experience?
[08:05] <lordievader> Hey Kentos, how are you? Some, not very much. What is your problem?
[08:07] <Kentos> trying to see how i can get the domainname.com i bought to be referenced as the server IP. I did forwarding with masking however that only applies the address bar, it still shows references for links as my wanIP
[08:07] <marw> i see that ginx and php are running as the same user (www-data).  i'll try changing some aliases now.
[08:08] <lordievader> Kentos: Have you hard coded your wanIP into the links?
[08:08] <marw> ah, finally oO after tow days of setting it up...
[08:09] <Kentos> no, i jut used basic html image/html link
[08:09] <Kentos> when i hover over the link, it shows on the bottom of browser the link address as being my IP
[08:09] <Kentos> and then the www directory
[08:10] <Awaken> kentos, u need to set an a-record on the domain to point to the IP of the server
[08:10] <lordievader> Kentos: Can you show the source code of the page?
[08:10] <Awaken> for both domain.com and www.domain.com
[08:10] <lordievader> !paste | Kentos
[08:11] <Kentos> the a-record?
[08:11] <Awaken> forwarding doesnt direct traffic it just means whoever u bought your domain off of runs an html frames page on their servers with your destination inside the frame
[08:11] <Awaken> setting an a-record to the IP of your server actually points the domain to your server properly
[08:18] <Kentos> ty guys
[08:19] <Kentos> it was was a point of confusion for me there
[09:18] <cassavuota> hi all!
[09:20] <cassavuota> i'm trying to recover a lost lvm vg but when i use the uuid from the vg archive file i get "too long to be uuid"
[09:21] <cassavuota> where else do i find an uuid?
[09:21] <cassavuota> what might cause that error?
[09:24] <jacobw> morning
[09:25] <cassavuota> alright, no double quotes around the uuid ^^
[09:27] <cassavuota> now it says the file system is mounted. but umount doesn't help
[11:08] <cassavuota> how do i edit a filein busybox? no editor appears to be available?
[14:57] <AlphaWolf> What can I do when I am in the following situation: If I press escape or any F# keys it shows a purple screen with "Ubuntu 12.04" and otherwise a log of messages from a server (in this case sickbeard) and I can't type anything?
[15:41] <AlphaWolf>     2
[17:14] <TheLordOfTime> would you recommend zentyal as a good remote-management platform that doesn't need SSH?
[17:14] <TheLordOfTime> since i can't ssh from everywhere, some nets restrict that
[17:17] <AlphaWolf> What can I do when I am in the following situation: If I press escape or any F# keys it shows a purple screen with "Ubuntu 12.04" and otherwise a log of messages from a server (in this case sickbeard) and I can't type anything?
[17:41] <AlphaWolf> As an alternate question, how can I get the MAC Address if when I type nothing is input?
[17:52] <three18ti> AlphaWolf, is this from a clean boot?  do you get the login prompt then messages logged to STDOUT?
[17:54] <AlphaWolf> three18ti: From a clean boot it loads up a few services (the last being sickbeard). I don't have a login message (that I can see), and the input line is empty (no "user@ ~/" part)
[17:55] <three18ti> AlphaWolf, so it sounds like sickbeard is hijacking the boot process.  how are you starting sickbeard?  command in rc.local?
[17:56] <three18ti> (I'm assuming you're running a headless server machine, that's why you're in #ubuntu-server)
[17:57] <AlphaWolf> three18ti: I'm not 100% sure how I'm starting it. I'll have a look to see if I can find the tutorial I used. I am using Ubuntu Server (headless is no GUI, right?)
[18:00] <three18ti> AlphaWolf, yes, by "headless" I mean no gui. I had the same problem starting ps3media server because I added an entry in /etc/rc.local (something along the lines of `ps3mediaserver start --whatever --options`) and it would boot fine, but I wouldn't get a login prompt because ps3ms had started in "interactive" mode where it would log everything to STDOUT.  adding an & to the command forked it into the background.  I'm not saying
[18:00] <three18ti>  that's what's going on here but it sure sounds similar.
[18:01] <three18ti> AlphaWolf, I would A) figure out how it is being started, then B) start in single user mode, disable the service, then reboot.  can you boot into single user mode?
[18:02] <AlphaWolf> three18ti: I cannot access the server because I just moved and they need the MAC Address. How could I start it in single user mode?
[18:03] <three18ti> (As an aside and a point of clarification, a "headless" box canonically is one that does not have a monitor attached to and and you connect via SSH, VNC, RDP, etc; being this is a linuxbox I often use "headlesss" analogously to mean no GUI.)
[18:04] <three18ti> AlphaWolf, maybe I don't understand the problem fully.  Who is "they" and why do they need the MAC?
[18:05] <TheLordOfTime> maybe they have a whitelist on the network(s)
[18:05] <AlphaWolf> three19ti: Sorry, I just moved to University accommodation. They need the MAC Address so I can connect (and get an IP to SSH in), but I can't actually DO anything when I plug in a monitor/keyboard :(
[18:08] <three18ti> AlphaWolf, you do have physical access to the server though right?  Not like it's in the uni data center and you're trying to access it from your dorm?
[18:09] <AlphaWolf> three18ti: I do have physical access, yes. Could it work if I plug the ethernet from the server directly into another computer?
[18:12] <AlphaWolf> three18ti: I _think_ I used "sudo update-rc.d sickbeard defaults" to add it to the defaults
[18:13] <qman__> AlphaWolf, if you did that, that's not the problem, because that uses a standard init script
[18:14] <AlphaWolf> qman__: I _might_ have done that. I'll check if I did. If not, I'll make it do it what way! :)
[18:15] <AlphaWolf> Is there any way to not loads these things up and get run an ifconfig?
[18:41] <XATRIX> hi guys, i'm trying to install VBox Guest Add... it requires linux kernel headers (dev)
[18:42] <XATRIX> any idea how can i install em?
[18:43] <XATRIX> if i got it right, i'm using kernel 3.2.0-30-generic-pae
[18:44] <qman__> XATRIX, apt-get install linux-headers-generic-pae

[19:03] <tim-ct> hi all I am trying to get my firewall working. Being battling all day. I can see out ie browse the net. My rules are at http://pastebin.ca/2204732. No idea where line 62 and 77 come from...
[19:03] <tim-ct> oops   i cant browse
[19:10] <lordievader> tim-ct: Why not use ufw?
[19:11] <lordievader> tim-ct: You have not forgotten to open port 53 (DNS)?
[19:31] <DiNgL3> Hi guys I hope someone may be able to help me with some issues I'm having securing my shared memory
[19:38] <tim-ct> lordievader: -A POSTROUTING -s 172.168.2.0/24 -p udp -m udp -m multiport --dports 53,123 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.0.15
[19:38] <DiNgL3> Any one willing to offer some support please I'm really struggling
[19:39] <guntbert_> !details | DiNgL3
[19:40] <DiNgL3> im trying to secure some of my websites so have been doing some reading and came across this guide http:/​/​www.thefanclub.co.za/​node/​50 I have created a test lamp server updated to 12.04.1 and started following the guide didn't want to do it on my live sites.  I have got to securing the shared memory and im stuck.  I add tmpfs     /dev/shm     tmpfs     defaults,noexec,nosuid     0     0 to the end of /etc/fstab. Once I hav
[19:40] <DiNgL3> done that I reboot and receive errors upon reboot  - mount: unknown filesystem type tmpfs mountall: mount /dev/shm [312] terminated with status 32 mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted /dev/shm fsck from until-linux 2.20.1
[19:40] <DiNgL3> I've been getting ddos and god know what else on two of my site the last few days and really want t get them secured up as best I can
[19:41] <DiNgL3> I'm confident with windows and os x but am really not so good on Linux I'm learning
[19:43] <DiNgL3> I'll be back in a moment or two my daughter is crying
[19:53] <DiNgL3> So has anyone got any ideas I've been in a few channels now and I post what's the problem and I get no response back from anyone
[19:57] <DiNgL3> guntbert_: Do you have any ideas on this one ?
[19:58] <guntbert_> DiNgL3: sorry, no - I never worried about shared memory before - but anyone able to help will need those details anyway
[20:00] <DiNgL3> guntbert_: Ok cheers anyway do you think I don't need to worry so much about the shared memory
[20:04] <guntbert_> DiNgL3: well, as I said I didn't think about that (I don't manage a server with many users), so I cannot say if you should worry - but generally ubuntu isn't regarded too vulnerable, that should apply to web servers too
[20:11] <guntbert_> DiNgL3: can you !pastebin your /etc/fstab?
[20:17] <DiNgL3> Ok give me a moment I'll send it to you
[20:17] <guntbert_> DiNgL3: please put it in a pastebin and tell us the url
[20:26] <DiNgL3> guntbert_: http://pastebin.com/iTebQcpB
[20:26] <DiNgL3> guntbert_: Cheers for your time it's appreciated
[20:31] <guntbert_> DiNgL3: 1) it looks exactly like the line on the web site 2) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StricterDefaults for an explanation of the security problems,  I will research a little
[20:32] <DiNgL3> Yeah I've stumbled across that previously too
[20:33] <DiNgL3> Thank you I can't find much online about this
[20:34] <guntbert_> DiNgL3: please pastebin the output of       mount   too
[20:34] <DiNgL3> Is that the errors I get upon reboot
[20:36] <guntbert_> DiNgL3: yes, the error states that not all entries coud be mounted
[20:46] <DiNgL3> Ok well I can't paste bin that one in because it doesn't load correctly so no ssh I have to get to the box through vsphere so I'll have to take a screen shot
[20:48] <guntbert_> DiNgL3: I have to leave - look at the output of  mount  yourself - you will probably see a line like none on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) - that looks quite sane anyway - and maybe it tells you how to write those lines in /etc/fstab
[20:48] <guntbert_> Good luck!
[21:59] <cody-somerville> Hey. Is there no simple apache2 juju charm?
