| SpamapS | \Master\Pehden\: not a dumb question. Its fairly involved.. you usually have to use a proxy like squid or something like class based queueing | 00:10 |

| \Master\Pehden\ | so i can make update use export into squid with in itself? | 00:11 |
| === n0ts is now known as n0ts_off | ||
| SpamapS | \Master\Pehden\: you would setup squid to limit bandwidth, and then tell apt-get to download via squid. | 00:12 |

| basil_ | Hi I'm trying to install mod_security on Ubuntu 11.10, and I've done the apt- install thing. But the tutorial asks me to compile it, but I don't know what directory it installed to. How do I work that out? | 03:38 |
| holstein | basil_: you should be able to look and see what command ran | 03:44 |
| holstein | you can link the tutorial and i'll see if i can make sense of it | 03:45 |
| basil_ | This was the cmd - $ sudo apt-get install automake g++ apache2-threaded-dev dpkg-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev | 03:47 |
| basil_ | tutorial - http://darrynvt.wordpress.com/2012/04/03/how-to-install-mod_security-apache2-ubuntu-11-10/ | 03:47 |
| holstein | basil_: that just installs those | 03:47 |
| holstein | basil_: that doesnt compile anything (by hand) | 03:47 |
| basil_ | OK...must have skipped a bit - saw the apt-get things | 03:48 |
| holstein | basil_: apt-get is a way of managing pacakges from the repos.. you can use apt to install them | 03:48 |
| holstein | basil_: from that page "Now that the mod_security binary is installed in your Apache 2 modules folder" | 03:50 |
| holstein | basil_: the apt-get install command is installing dependencies, tools, etc... | 03:51 |
| basil_ | got it under control now... tahnks for the advice | 03:53 |

| cluelessperson | What's a simple email server to use? | 12:56 |
| cluelessperson | ? | 13:02 |
| cluelessperson | Rather, since I've asked that before. What's the best way to set up a small email server? Nothing large, very few users. | 13:02 |
| RoyK | 13:10 | |
| RoyK | hm | 13:10 |
| RoyK | cluelessperson: I think the "preferred" way is dovecot, but I find that rather strange. I've used courier and cyrus - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer | 13:12 |
| RoyK | anyway - you can use either | 13:12 |
| cluelessperson | RoyK: I keep running into things that are very difficult for me to implement. | 13:12 |
| RoyK | setting up a mail server is not very difficult | 13:13 |
| cluelessperson | RoyK: I would figure. | 13:13 |
| cluelessperson | RoyK: Courier makes it so you don't have to have users installed on the system? :P | 13:13 |
| RoyK | read the docs I pointed to | 13:13 |
| RoyK | both courier and cyrus, I think, can be setup that way, I guess dovecot too, perhaps | 13:14 |
| * RoyK is lazy and uses zimbra | 13:14 | |
| cluelessperson | RoyK: I think I'll attempt your way, I'll start now | 13:14 |
| RoyK | if you want to use zimbra, you need a dedicated machine or vm | 13:15 |
| RoyK | it'll be all messed up if you install it together with other stuff | 13:15 |
| cluelessperson | RoyK: Why is that? You can't install/run zimbra with basic lamp? | 13:16 |
| === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates | ||
| RoyK | no, you can't | 13:16 |

| RoyK | what is google? | 13:17 |

| RoyK | it's a full set with apache, postfix, a bunch of java stuff and all | 13:19 |
| RoyK | just beleive me, ok? | 13:19 |
| cluelessperson | RoyK: I do believe you, that just sounds... painful | 13:20 |
| RoyK | it's not, if you just setup a separate VM and install it there | 13:21 |
| RoyK | then it just works | 13:21 |

| Niel | who can help me with setting up routing for OpenVPN? | 14:53 |
| ikonia | Niel: you need to give info if you want people to help | 14:55 |
| ikonia | you where just told that in #ubuntu and don't seem to have grasped it | 14:55 |
| Niel | Well, I got all my ports open on my VPS, but only applications on the server-side can use the ports, if a client for example starts a minecraft server on port 25565 it won't open on the VPN, and I want the ports to open. | 14:56 |
| ikonia | what do you mean "it won't open on the vpn" | 14:58 |
| Niel | the ports don't open on the vpn if the client uses a port | 14:58 |
| ikonia | what are you talking about | 14:58 |
| Niel | vpn | 14:58 |
| ikonia | you use a VPN to make a connection to a server on a specific port | 14:58 |
| ikonia | you are then on that network | 14:58 |
| ikonia | you don't use the vpn to open specific ports | 14:58 |
| Niel | yes | 14:58 |
| Niel | i know that | 14:59 |
| Niel | but I want the user of the VPN to be able to use a port from the VPS | 14:59 |
| ikonia | right, so what have you done to validate the port is not available ? | 14:59 |
| qman__ | you would have to create a new rule, on the fly, to forward the desired port to a given VPN client | 15:00 |
| Niel | I tried canyouseeme etc, but my host says all the ports are open | 15:00 |
| qman__ | that's not part of any built in functionality | 15:00 |
| ikonia | the vpn has nothing to do with open ports, it just connects you to that network | 15:00 |
| qman__ | and that has nothing to do with VPN | 15:00 |
| qman__ | it'd be the same on your home network | 15:01 |
| ikonia | if your network is not open - you need to address that at what ever is blocking your network's level/device | 15:01 |
| Niel | if you connect to the VPN, you have another IP, then I want to accept an incoming connection through that IP on port 25565 | 15:01 |
| qman__ | from where | 15:02 |
| ikonia | Niel: if the network is open as you say, that will happen | 15:02 |
| Niel | yes, but it doesn't happen | 15:02 |
| qman__ | from the internet, or from other VPN clients | 15:02 |
| ikonia | Niel: then it's not open | 15:02 |
| Niel | i created an iptables rule for it | 15:02 |
| ikonia | Niel: then it's not open | 15:02 |
| Niel | if i move the apache port to 25565 it does say it's open | 15:02 |
| ikonia | what says it's open ? | 15:03 |
| Niel | canyouseeme.org | 15:03 |
| ikonia | Niel: ok, so what's listening on port 25565 when apache is not ? | 15:03 |
| Niel | the server | 15:03 |
| ikonia | what server | 15:03 |
| Niel | the minecraft server on the windows pc | 15:03 |
| ikonia | what application is listening on 25565 | 15:04 |
| ikonia | Niel: no, the server on your PC does not listen on the remote servers port | 15:04 |
| ikonia | Niel: the remote server must have something listening on it locally | 15:04 |
| ikonia | otherwise there is nothing to connect to | 15:04 |
| Niel | how can I fix it then | 15:04 |
| qman__ | or be NATting that port to something else | 15:04 |
| ikonia | Niel: make an application (like apache) listen on the port | 15:04 |
| Niel | i have routing disabled in OpenVPN panel, does it have something to do with that? | 15:04 |
| qman__ | or, you know, run the minecraft server on your server on the internet | 15:04 |
| ikonia | Niel: that way the client (your windows PC) has something to connect to | 15:05 |
| Niel | I want this: The windows pc hosts a minecraft server and is connected to the VPS (openvpn), and when someone tries to join the minecraft server it connects to the IP from the VPN on port 25565 | 15:07 |
| Niel | is that possible? | 15:09 |
| qman__ | what do they connect to when they join the minecraft server | 15:09 |
| qman__ | and where are they connecting from | 15:10 |
| Niel | the IP from the VPS ( OpenVPN ) | 15:10 |
| Niel | and from a windows PC | 15:10 |
| qman__ | no, from the internet, or as other VPN clients | 15:10 |
| lordievader | Niel: There is no possibility to run the Minecraft server on the VPS? | 15:10 |
| Niel | i use the vps as VPN | 15:10 |
| qman__ | lordievader, that's the right way to do it, but I guess he's dead set | 15:10 |
| lordievader | Niel: It's not set in stone that the VPS can only do VPS, it can also host your game. | 15:11 |
| Niel | I don't want the server to be hosted on the vps | 15:11 |
| Niel | i just want to use the ip to host the minecraft server | 15:11 |
| lordievader | Kind of silly to throw everything though a tunnel.. | 15:12 |
| Niel | mmh | 15:12 |
| Niel | but its possible right? | 15:12 |
| qman__ | in theory, probably too slow to actually use | 15:12 |
| Niel | I just want to know how to do it | 15:13 |
| qman__ | there's a second problem | 15:13 |
| qman__ | your windows PC needs to know to route traffic to the internet through the VPN | 15:13 |
| Niel | I have the VPN setup and I can browse the internet through the VPN | 15:13 |
| qman__ | so for this setup to work, your windows PC must send all its internet traffic through the VPN, not just the minecraft server's | 15:14 |
| Niel | it's just the ports that are a problem | 15:14 |
| Niel | i know | 15:14 |
| Niel | i want the traffic to go through the vpn | 15:14 |
| Niel | i need to open the port 25565, so that the client can use the port | 15:14 |
| qman__ | it is open | 15:15 |
| qman__ | what you need to do is NAT it to your windows PC | 15:15 |
| Niel | I have this option from the OpenVPN panel: | 15:15 |
| qman__ | I don't know what this openVPN panel is | 15:15 |
| qman__ | but this has nothing to do with openVPN | 15:15 |
| Niel | Routing Should VPN clients have access to private subnets (non-public networks on the server side)? | 15:15 |
| Niel | then i have | 15:16 |
| Niel | 3 option: no, yes-using NAT, and Yes-using routing | 15:16 |
| qman__ | completely different, nothing to do with this | 15:16 |
| Niel | the traffic already goes through the vpn | 15:17 |
| Niel | i'm connected to the VPN, i start my minecraft server on port 25565, and then i check if the port is open and it says closed | 15:17 |
| qman__ | that's because you haven't set up the port forward | 15:17 |
| Niel | on my vps? | 15:18 |
| qman__ | yes | 15:18 |
| Niel | but all ports are open, i asked my host to open them all | 15:18 |
| qman__ | again | 15:18 |
| qman__ | nothing to do with this | 15:18 |
| lordievader | Niel: But not forwarded to the internet. | 15:18 |
| qman__ | the port IS open, but it's not forwarded | 15:18 |
| Niel | oh | 15:18 |
| Niel | i get it | 15:18 |
| Niel | so i forward it with iptables? | 15:18 |
| qman__ | yes | 15:18 |
| Niel | what if i disable iptables? | 15:19 |
| qman__ | then you will have no rules | 15:19 |
| qman__ | and no forward | 15:19 |
| qman__ | and probably no VPN | 15:19 |
| Niel | and how do i port forward all ports if that is possible | 15:19 |
| qman__ | it's not | 15:20 |
| qman__ | stuff won't work if you do that | 15:20 |
| qman__ | you only need to forward one port, 25565 | 15:20 |
| Niel | ok | 15:20 |
| Niel | i think i disabled iptables with ufw | 15:21 |
| Niel | do you know how to enable it? | 15:21 |
| qman__ | there is no disable/enable, iptables is compiled into the kernel | 15:21 |
| qman__ | you can only either have rules, or not have rules | 15:21 |
| Niel | sudo ufw disable | 15:21 |
| qman__ | ufw isn't iptables, it's a front end | 15:21 |
| qman__ | and ufw can't do port forwarding (at least not last I checked) | 15:22 |
| Niel | root@niel:~# sudo ufw enable Command may disrupt existing ssh connections. Proceed with operation (y|n)? y ERROR: problem running ufw-init | 15:22 |
| Niel | how do i re enable | 15:22 |
| qman__ | don't | 15:22 |
| Niel | oh, can I leave it disabled? | 15:22 |
| Niel | is there a command to reset iptables to it's standard settings | 15:23 |
| Niel | iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 25565 -i eth1 -j ACCEPT <- is this the command to port forward? | 15:24 |
| ikonia | this whole concept is flawed | 15:24 |
| qman__ | no | 15:28 |
| qman__ | to set up the port forward, you will need several rules, and your client will have to have a static IP on the VPN | 15:28 |
| qman__ | and that rule is not one of them | 15:28 |
| Niel | lol this will never work | 15:29 |
| ikonia | correct, it's a very bad idea | 15:32 |
| Niel | i need it to work though | 15:34 |
| ikonia | I'd like time travel to work | 15:34 |
| Niel | well this is something that is possible | 15:35 |
| ikonia | Niel: I think you need to address your requirements | 15:35 |
| ikonia | it's a very bad idea | 15:35 |
| Niel | I just want to use the IP and open ports | 15:35 |
| lordievader | Niel: Host the Minecraft server on the VPS. | 15:35 |
| ikonia | why not just use open DNS and get people to connect directly to your laptop | 15:36 |
| ikonia | doing this over the VPN is wrong | 15:36 |
| Niel | ive seen vpn providers that give you an option in the control panel to open a port on the VPN | 15:36 |
| ikonia | it's nothing to do with an "open port" | 15:36 |
| Niel | port forward | 15:36 |
| ikonia | then use one of those vps providers if you feel it's the right thing to do | 15:36 |
| ikonia | it's the wrong thing to do | 15:36 |
| Niel | I bought the vps for VPN, not for hosting games, and it doesn't have enough ram for a gameserver | 15:36 |
| Niel | it's not only for game servers | 15:37 |
| lordievader | Niel: Then do as ikonia says. | 15:37 |
| ikonia | you bought a vps just to do vpn...but you didn't buy one of the ones that offer the solution you want | 15:37 |
| ikonia | you bought one which doesn't have the port forwarding option you want | 15:37 |
| Niel | well i didn't know it was that hard to setup | 15:38 |
| Niel | and can do more with a vps than just a vpn | 15:38 |
| ikonia | then host the game | 15:38 |
| Niel | it's not powerfull enough | 15:39 |
| ikonia | then get one that is | 15:39 |
| Niel | lol no, i want to use it as VPN and be able to accept incoming connections through a port, like port 80, but then for 25565 | 15:39 |
| ikonia | then set that up | 15:40 |
| ikonia | it's a terrible idea, but set it up | 15:40 |
| Niel | why do you think i'm here... | 15:40 |
| Niel | cause i don't know how | 15:40 |
| ikonia | ##netfilter for IP tables rules help | 15:40 |
| ikonia | the guys in there will give you specific rules | 15:40 |
| Niel | ok | 15:40 |
| Niel | how do i join that channel i'm new to irc lol | 15:41 |
| ikonia | they will also hassle you that what you are doing is a bad idea | 15:41 |
| ikonia | plus you could just use opendns and setup a direct connection to your PC | 15:41 |
| Niel | oh click it | 15:41 |
| Niel | i don't want to use my ip | 15:41 |
| ikonia | Niel: you joined this channel from #ubuntu - so I know you know how | 15:41 |
| Niel | no i just closed irc and opened again | 15:41 |
| ikonia | but you are forwarding them to your IP | 15:41 |
| ikonia | Niel: you didn't if you open irc it doesn't default to this channel | 15:42 |
| Niel | it asks me what channel to join | 15:42 |
| lordievader | Niel: /join ##netfilter | 15:42 |
| Niel | thx | 15:42 |
| ikonia | it's #netfilter | 15:42 |
| ikonia | sorry , my mistake | 15:42 |
| Niel | ok | 15:42 |
| ikonia | not ##netfitler, #netfitler | 15:43 |
| ikonia | FYI: you're giving away your IP now 81.165.225.142 | 15:43 |
| Niel | so i just ask there who can help me setup port forwarding on ubuntu server? | 15:43 |
| lordievader | I can't spell :( | 15:43 |
| Niel | yes, i know | 15:43 |
| ikonia | if it's that close a guarded secret you may want to take action on giving your IP out to thousands of users | 15:43 |
| Niel | my ip changes every hour | 15:43 |

| Pinguin123 | Hello. | 16:28 |
| Pinguin123 | I just upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 on my terminal server. | 16:29 |
| Pinguin123 | I got an error during the upgrade of GRUB. | 16:29 |
| Pinguin123 | Is this the correct channel to ask for help? | 16:30 |
| RoyK | Pinguin123: just ask | 16:31 |
| RoyK | !ask | Pinguin123 | 16:31 |
| ubottu | Pinguin123: 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 | 16:31 |

| Pinguin123 | My /boot is mounted on a mirroring raid of /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1. The rest of the hard-disk is is also in RAID as /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 and part of an LVM-setup. My backup HD is /dev/sdc. During the upgrade I got the following error: GRUB failed to install to the following devices: /dev/sda /dev/sdb Do you want to continue anyway? If you do, your computer may not start up properly. Writing GRUB to boot device failed - continue? After this I | 16:41 |
| Pinguin123 | got the option to select where I would like to install GRUB: /dev/sda (1000204 MB; SAMSUNG_HD103SJ), /dev/sdb (1000204 MB; SAMSUNG_HD103SJ) /dev/sdc (250000 MB; WDC_WD2500JS-75N) /dev/dm-0 (64424 MB; vgpasen-slash). After selecting one of /dev/sda or /dev/sdb I get the error message /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Your core.img is unusually large. It won't fit in the embedding area.. /usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this | 16:41 |
| Pinguin123 | is required when the root device is on a RAID array or LVM volume. I tried as an alternative GRUB-legacy, but isntalling this also gave errors. As a last resort I now attempt to use LILO. Installing this with the "boot = /dev/md6" (/dev/md6 is /dev/sda1 en /dev/sdb1 in raid) and "raid-extra-boot = mbr-only" options in lilo.conf. This generated the following output: sudo lilo -v Using BIOS device code 0x80 for RAID boot blocks Reading boot sector | 16:41 |

| Pinguin123 | not on the first disk /boot/boot.0810 exists - no boot sector backup copy made. The Master boot record of /dev/sdb has been updated. One warning was issued. It seems to me that I should now be able to safely reboot, is this correct? | 16:41 |
| Pinguin123 | Sorry for the multiline, I formatted the question as a single-line one in VIM. | 16:42 |
| RoyK | Pinguin123: that's ok - noone can say if the system will boot up correctly if grub gives that error, but you can try. if it fails, you need console access and perhaps a CD or a usb plug with the 12.04 installer | 16:44 |
| metalball | Hey everyone, got a question about ubuntu-server and VirtualBox | 16:45 |
| metalball | after cloning a VM with installed ubuntu-server, the distro hangs on boot with network messages: "Waiting for network configuration..." and then "Waiting for 60 seconds more..." | 16:46 |
| metalball | after that it logs in without eth0 | 16:46 |
| metalball | only lo interface | 16:46 |
| metalball | when commenting eth0 lines from /etc/network/interfaces, distro boots faster, but still without eth0 | 16:46 |
| Pinguin123 | RoyK: installing it from the 12.04 installer will fix it? | 16:46 |
| metalball | I guess that happens because the MAC of the ethernet device changes, but I have no idea how to "sync" the distro with the new ethernet | 16:46 |
| RoyK | Pinguin123: no, but you can probably fix grub manually after booting the fix mode from the server install cd | 16:47 |
| RoyK | metalball: wierd - I've installed ubuntu on vbox a few dozen times without issues | 16:47 |
| metalball | RoyK: the original installation is doing fine, and the clones also, until I'm changing the MAC for the network device, to get IP from router | 16:48 |
| RoyK | metalball: oh | 16:48 |
| RoyK | that's common | 16:48 |
| RoyK | vi /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 16:49 |
| RoyK | and remove the config there | 16:49 |
| RoyK | debian/ubuntu links the MAC address to ethX | 16:49 |
| metalball | RoyK: mm, so if I'll delete the file, the distro will rebuild on boot? or I have to manually match the MACs? | 16:50 |
| RoyK | yes | 16:50 |
| RoyK | it'll rebuild it | 16:50 |
| metalball | cool, I'll try | 16:51 |
| RoyK | haven't tried removing it, though, just removing the config in it | 16:51 |
| metalball | well, it's safe to remove :) | 16:52 |
| metalball | it's rebuilding the file | 16:52 |
| metalball | awesome | 16:52 |
| metalball | RoyK: thank you very much | 16:55 |
| RoyK | np | 16:55 |

| nemo_nihil | anyone here that could help me with nohup? | 19:01 |
| nemo_nihil | i am trying to run $sudo su -l www-data -c nohup [command] and I keep getting the error "nohup: missing operand" | 19:03 |
| nemo_nihil | but it works if I move the nohup [command] to the next line | 19:03 |
| qman__ | don't sudo su | 19:06 |
| nemo_nihil | how do i do it then? | 19:06 |
| qman__ | read sudo's manual and find out which switches are right for your purpose | 19:06 |
| qman__ | sudo su is bad practice | 19:07 |
| qman__ | and could very well be why what you're doing isn't working | 19:07 |
| qman__ | use sudo or su, not both at once | 19:07 |
| qman__ | also, your nohup command probably needs to be in quotes | 19:07 |
| nemo_nihil | thanks for the help qman__ | 19:10 |
| nemo_nihil | i need it to be 'nohup [command]' | 19:10 |
| qman__ | using sudo su is like doing "sudo sudo" or su -c "su" | 19:11 |
| qman__ | you'd never do that because it's silly | 19:11 |
| qman__ | and unnecessarily complicates things | 19:11 |
| nemo_nihil | ok, i will try to simplify that as well | 19:12 |
