VonKrankeI just finished installing my ubuntu server and have a problem with the framebuffer mode it's set on my console display.  The text is VERY tiny (around 160 columns) and is only using the top 25 lines of the screen.  Is there a way I can (re) set the console video mode?03:58

pmp6nlHello, I enabled SFTP only, but I temporarily need to use just FTP.  Is there a good way to do this?  Running Ubuntu 12.04 thanks.04:41
escottpmp6nl, no04:46
pmp6nlescott, its that complicated? Its not just a setting in a file?04:46
escottpmp6nl, you would have to install and configure an ftp server. which is an insecure and broken protocol04:50
pmp6nlescott, oh, sftp is that different than ftp?04:51
escottpmp6nl, yes04:51
escottpmp6nl, sftp is an ssh server talking ftp04:52
pmp6nlescott, ah. Ya. I figured you could just disable ssh for a few minutes and use standard ftp04:52
escottpmp6nl, no need to disable ssh04:52
pmp6nlok04:53
pmp6nlthanks04:56

gregor_Hello, I want my ubuntu 12.04 server to automatically shutdown if there is no ssh activity11:42
gregor_Maybe someone could help me?11:42
gregor_..11:50
StevenRgregor_: can you be a little more specific on what you require?11:55
JanCStevenR: literally it means he wants his server to shut down immediately after boot  ;)11:57
gregor_I want it to shutdown after midnight and there were no connections in the past hour12:09
gregor_I already found a little thread in askubuntu.com, but maybe you know more :)12:09
imminentCucumberquestion about system load -- wget seems to have a huge effect on my system load.  Right now I'm downloading and the load is 14.  When the download is done, system load goes back down to .3 or so.  What can I check on this?  Google searches seem to only produce results about people having problems with Desktop.12:38

DioxinIt is feasible to use apt-mirror on non-debian based repositories?13:51
orogorhi here13:57
orogori am looking for ideas on which services would be interesting to provide on a small vpn between friends13:58
orogoranyone has an idea?13:58
Dioxingoogle is your friend, lots of options there, not had personal experience tho13:59
DioxinOpenVPN is probably the Ubuntu supported option14:01
orogori was thinking about tinc , to avoid the need for a central gateway14:02
yeatsDioxin: re: your apt-mirror question - I would seriously doubt it (but I don't know your use case)14:02
DioxinTinyCoreLinux is the repo I wish to host locally on an Ubuntu Host14:05
=== n0ts_off is now known as n0ts
RoyKtinc looks interesting ;)14:25
orogorfound this too http://www.p2pvpn.org/14:27
orogorthe basic for the network would be 3-5 peoples which are computer knowledgable or sysadmin14:29
orogori was also thinking on providing maybe a vm image with a few softs installed14:30
orogora bit different , i found this too http://wanproxy.org/14:32
orogorit s  network deduplication14:32
patdk-lapheh? openvpn doesn't require a centeral gateway14:35
patdk-lapI use it in p2p mode more often than client/server mode14:36
orogorhoo14:36
patdk-lapthere is always ipsec though14:36
patdk-lapI have craploads of ipsec tunnels14:36
orogorhow does it work when you add new nodes ? where it get the config info for reaching other nodes?14:38
patdk-lapthat is left for the user to do14:39
orogorhaaa p2p has in point to point14:39
patdk-lapsounds like you don't want a p2p vpn, but an adhoc vpn mesh14:39
orogorwe speak of p2p as in peer to peer14:39
orogoryup a mesh network14:39
* patdk-lap sticks with his openvpn/ipsec tunnels with bgp/ospf running on them14:40
orogori  fell like it s too much complexity14:43

[conrad]Hello everyone. Is it possible to configure DHCP to *only* serve static IP's via MAC? I'm able to do what I need via dhcpd.conf, but I can't seem to disable other MAC's from picking up an IP as well.19:00
Patrickdksure19:03
PatrickdkI guess, not sure how you configure a protocol though19:03
[conrad]Patrickdk: What that response to me?19:04
Patrickdkna, the other guy asking about dhcp19:05
[conrad]Patrickdk: You didn't specifically mention my name or DHCP. I just recently joined the room. You could have been talking to anyone.19:05

shauno[conrad]: assuming isc-dhcp-server, "deny unknown-clients;" is your google-fodder  (I don't have an example in context, but I'm positive google does)19:10
[conrad]shauno: Thanks. I was trying to tinker with the range setting, but to no avail.19:11
shaunoI think it works if your pool is only big enough for the reservations you have listed, but that's a side-effect and not to be trusted, allow/deny are intended for this19:13
patdk-lapremove the range completely19:14
patdk-lapif you only want static19:14
[conrad]shauno , patdk-lap . Thank you both very much.19:15

axisyswhat is best way to add ~audit/bin to the PATH of users in admin group?21:51
axisys/etc/bash.bashrc and check for primary group id ?21:52
axisysadd it ^21:52
axisysall have default shell bash21:52
escottaxisys, ~/audit/bin may not exist for every user21:54
axisys~audit/bin21:55
escottaxisys, what is ~audit/bin21:56
axisys/home/audit/bin21:56
escottaxisys, no it is not. ~/audit/bin you have to have the slash21:56
axisys16:53:02 < axisys> what is best way to add ~audit/bin to the PATH of users in admin group?21:57
axisysi want to have user audit's bin path available in the admin group's PATH21:57
escottaxisys, if you have some user named "audit" it would be better to put that in /usr/local/audit/bin not /home/audit/bin21:58
escottaxisys, it is very strange for a user to be running an executable in another users $HOME21:58
escottaxisys, and ~ is completely inappropriate for that. ~ expands (when followed by a slash to $HOME)21:59
axisysok, then how to have /usr/local/audit/bin path available in the admin group's PATH21:59
escottaxisys, adding an export PATH= directive to /etc/bash.bashrc is a good way to do that22:00
axisysescott: i want only users who are in admin group to have that in their path.. not for all22:00
escottaxisys, so you can test if the output to groups contains admin22:00
escottaxisys, also check for sudo because 12.10 uses sudo not "admin"22:01
axisysso if a user is part of admin group, his/her $PATH will have /usr/local/audit/bin in the list22:01
axisysso if a user is part of "foo" group, his/her $PATH will have /usr/local/audit/bin in the list22:01
axisysi guess i can chmod to "foo" group.. so if you are in that group *only* then you can run the bin/script22:02
escottaxisys, there is something like that in bash.bashrc already "# sudo hint22:03
escottif [ ! -e "$HOME/.sudo_as_admin_successful" ] && [ ! -e "$HOME/.hushlogin" ] ; then22:03
escott    case " $(groups) " in *\ admin\ *)"22:03
axisysescott: sweet! thanks a lot22:07
LeChacalhello, i have manged to muck up my partion table to the point that gdisk and fdisk neither want to do anything, what can I do to get it strait. My end goal is to have the drive reformated with GPT and NTFS22:16
lifelessLeChacal: if you don't care about the disk contents22:17
lifelessLeChacal: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXXX count=100 bs=6553422:18
LeChacallifeless: i have already backedup the stuff i care about,  i should mention this is an 8TB hardware RAID 6 array so I don't want to dd the whole thing22:18
lifelesswill write zeros over the partition table22:18
lifelessLeChacal: if its md-raid then you'd want of=/dev/mdX22:18
LeChacallifeless: its an LSI (Dell PERC) card so ubuntu see the array at /dev/sda22:19
lifelessrighto22:19
escottLeChacal, how does gdisk describe the partition tables22:21
LeChacallifeless: thank you, that was quick and easy, i thought i was going to have to do the hole array22:22
lifelessanytime22:23
bonez2046if I want my linux server to act as samba, file and print server, would the server version work best or could the desktop version suffice?22:41
Patrickdkbonez2046, no difference22:42
tonyyarussobonez2046: It's just a question of what packages you install.  It's the same OS.22:42
escottbonez2046, if all it is is a samba server then start with ubuntu-server22:43
bonez2046escott: it's one box, not critcal...so I'll load the server version22:49
