[16:20] sliddjur: sorry, I don't understand - does 'host google.com' work? [16:21] RoyK, nothing happens [16:21] i have tried to set up my own bind server. but when i ping my server (student481.linuxkurs.tfe.umu.se) i get no replys. but for example www.student481.linuxkurs.tfe.umu.se) works [16:28] sliddjur: there isn't an A entry for student481.linuxkurs.tfe.umu.se [16:28] roy@smilla:~$ host student481.linuxkurs.tfe.umu.se [16:28] student481.linuxkurs.tfe.umu.se mail is handled by 10 mail.student481.linuxkurs.tfe.umu.se. [16:54] sliddjur, try putting 8.8.8.8 in your resolve.conf might be something temporary [16:56] resolv.conf I mean [16:57] or 4.2.2.1 if you don't like the googles [16:58] whatever works :) [16:58] true :) [16:59] I had the problem the other day, it went away ?? [17:07] http://pastebin.com/EEMDhFzh why does an upgrade want to remove my kernel? [17:09] it's only removing the kernel header packages [17:10] ok. good point. but is that not bad? [17:10] i3luefire: uname -r output, please? [17:11] it is not bad... if they're needed, they won't be removed [17:11] root@ubuntu-server:~# uname -r output [17:11] uname: extra operand `output' [17:11] Try `uname --help' for more information. [17:11] skip the output [17:12] i was asking for the output of 'uname -r' [17:12] 3.2.0-32-generic [17:12] so, you must have had a package that required the source of the kernel (kernel headers) and you may have removed it [17:13] aptitude realizes this and says it will remove those header packages [17:13] ok. thank you very much. it just seemed scary at first [17:13] http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/11/how-to-set-up-a-safe-and-secure-web-server/2/ [17:14] a scared, reluctant sysadmin is a safe sysadmin :) [17:14] that is a guide i am following [17:14] :) thanks [17:15] i may be back later i guess [17:15] looks like a good guide [17:15] i'm glad they explain the worker model in brief rather than just saying, "type apt-get install blah" and look for the It works! page! [17:16] oh. that sounds good [17:18] i am currently using apache for webmin and some other minor stuff [17:20] http://imgur.com/62crA [18:11] i think i am going to stop with the nginx install because i dont want to mess up my currently working setup with apache. and running them side by side seems too difficult. [18:40] Hello, how do i change the metric of a dhcp gateway route? [18:41] for example, in debian, the dhcp'd default gateway has metric 0, but in ubuntu it has metric 100 [19:03] Mine doesn't seem to have any displayed metric at all ... does that just mean metric 1 ? [19:03] Although wouldn't the metric on a default route only be useful if you had multiple default routes? [19:03] Which doesn't seem to make much sense [19:04] it's a failsafe [19:05] if that interface or router goes down, you still have another route to the internet [19:05] the other purpose is, if you want DHCP on one interface and static on another, but you want the static gateway to take precedence === acidflash_ is now known as acidflash [19:26] O [19:27] I've noticed that the 12.10 install seems to hang when detecting hardware if it has like 128mb of ram, am I correct on this or just not patient enough w/ it? [19:28] maxmahem, 128MB is very very little ram, suggesting a very very old system. it might be that it hangs because it tries to access some kind of hardware bus that doesn't exist [19:29] escott, well in this case it's a virtual machine. [19:29] Hardware detection works fine if I increase it so say 512 or so. [19:29] maxmahem, so give it more ram for the install [19:30] maxmahem, you will want that extra ram during install just to make the install go faster [19:30] escott, I did :). I'm just wondering if this is expected behavior, or maybe I'm not being patient enough w/ the hardware detector when running on such a small amount of rma. [19:30] *ram [19:31] maxmahem, i dont think anyone cares [19:32] maxmahem, there is a javascript implementation of qemu. if you want to see something go slow you could install ubuntu in your web-browser [19:33] I'm not particularly interested in watching things go slow, I'm interested in the minimum memory required for the installer. [19:33] !requirements [19:33] Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu [19:36] New bug: #1088235 in puppet (main) "package puppetmaster-passenger 2.7.18-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1088235 [19:36] the requirements aren't hard, though; for example, I've run lubuntu on 128MB and the system runs fine [19:36] can't use youtube with that little RAM, but can't really expect that === cloakable_ is now known as cloakable [19:48] maxb: the problem is, i already have a 0.0.0.0 route advertiesed on my network [19:49] maxb: and i want this machine to use the one that is local, as it is also connected to the internet. [19:50] this is my debain route list [19:50] 0.0.0.0 76.239.22.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 [19:50] 0.0.0.0 10.4.254.1 0.0.0.0 UG 2 0 0 eth0 [19:50] as you can see, the advertised one has metric 2 (the bottom one) so the machine prefers it's local gateway [19:51] but in ubuntu, the advertiesed route gets metric 2, and the local gateway has metirc 100, so it still prefers to go out another 'exit node' (so to say). [19:51] idealy, i need to find the script that calls the dhclient and start from there (i think.) [19:52] you just need to configure your static address with a metric of 0 [19:52] there are a few ways to do it [19:52] no no, the internet address is dynamic [19:52] it comes from a cable modem [19:53] so the internal address isn't static either? [19:53] (sorry to break you/cut you off, i just didnt want you wasting your time in the wrong direction. i know how to do that via etc network interfaces) [19:53] the internal is, and it has metric 0 [19:53] then set its metric over 100 [19:54] and from the internal, via a routing protocal, it learns there is another gateway on the network [19:54] so it gives the 'other gateway' metric 2. [19:54] however this machine also has a local gateway, and for some reason, dhclient is adding it to the route table with metric 100 [19:55] fair enough [19:55] sounds like it would be configured in the dhcp client somewhere [19:56] yeap. ill rtfm for the rest of it, i just need a little push in which files deal with calling dhcp [19:57] might look into man dhclient, or /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [19:58] it might also be different in the version you're using, I'm on 10.04 [19:58] i am also on 10.04 [19:59] hmm [19:59] i think the magic is someplace else, my debian and ubuntu dhclient.conf look identical [20:28] qman__, for what I'm doing w/ this server, 128 is more than sufficent, it's just that setting the ram to one thing for the install then changing it once I get it up and running is kind of a hassle. === cpg|away is now known as cpg === pug is now known as Guest3197 === Guest3197 is now known as DaveR
