[00:55] <TuxLof> when I hold C it just goes straight to my bootloader
[02:02] <recon_lap> hi, stuck trying to get static dns working on a ubuntu-server KVM. bit clueless. anyone able to help?
[07:29] <Syria> Hello there ,, Please tell me how can I make this command run automatically on server start .. /usr/bin/VBoxManage startvm "Docs" --type headless
[07:33] <brianw> anyone here mind helping me a bit w/ ldap (using starttls) and samba?
[07:34] <SpamapS> Syria: the simplest way is to add that command to /etc/rc.local
[07:36] <Syria> SpamapS:  This is the content of the file, http://paste.kde.org/625688,, please tell me how should I add the command please?
[07:38] <SpamapS> Syria: it would need to be before the 'exit 0'
[07:39] <SpamapS> Syria: also if that particular command does not return, you'll need to use something to make it return... an upstart job would do that.
[07:39] <Syria> SpamapS: Thank you.
[10:17] <voxadam> What container system is officially supported by Ubuntu?
[15:08] <mauritslamers_> hey all, I have a problem installing gitlab… I have two users, git (grp git) and gitlab (grp gitlab git). I have a directory with perms 770 git:git and my gitlab user is not allowed to enter
[15:09] <mauritslamers_> it works when I make git the primary group of the gitlab user, but that is not what I need
[15:09] <mauritslamers_> id gives: uid=1002(gitlab) gid=1002(gitlab) groups=1002(gitlab),116(git)
[15:18] <Linux101148> Does anyone know if the /dev/ directory deletes or overwrites folders or files on reboot?
[15:19] <mauritslamers_> Linux101148: not necessarily overwrite, but things may be mounted on top of it
[15:20] <Linux101148> mauritslamers: Okay so this is what happen I had created a directory inside the /dev/ directory and on reboot it no longer exist
[15:20] <RoyK> Linux101148: /dev entries are handled by udev
[15:21] <Linux101148> Is is possible to get that directory I created back through udev?
[15:23] <RoyK> did you create a directory under /dev?
[15:23] <Linux101148> RoyK: Yeah I did unfortuately
[15:24] <RoyK> well, /dev is normally devtmpfs
[15:24] <RoyK> meaning it won't survive a reboot
[15:24] <Linux101148> RoyK: Yeah that seems to be the case...Is it all possible to get it back?
[15:27] <RoyK> nope
[15:27] <RoyK> it was in RAM
[15:27] <RoyK> why did you put anything there? or what did you put there?
[15:28] <Linux101148> Thats Great :(
[15:28] <RoyK> but why did you put data under /dev /
[15:28] <RoyK> ?
[15:29] <Linux101148> RoyK: It seem to have the most usable space
[15:29] <RoyK> well, now you've learned :)
[15:30] <Linux101148> Yeah exactly right so what really happen to it was it overwritten or removed entirely?
[15:30] <RoyK> Linux101148: I'd say, use a data partition for your data, and use the root (/) for system things
[15:30] <RoyK> Linux101148: it's a ram drive - meaning it's held in memory
[15:30] <RoyK> not on disk
[15:31] <recon_lap> I got a micro VPS, only 3gb hdd. I just made one partition, starting to think that was a mistake.
[15:31] <Linux101148> So on reboot the memory is reset?
[15:31] <RoyK> recon_lap: for such setups, I think it's wise to keep a single partition
[15:32] <RoyK> Linux101148: yes
[15:32] <Linux101148>  There isn't a log of this memory?
[15:32] <RoyK> no
[15:32] <recon_lap> well, my biggest problem is that it's a static DNS setup and i cant get DNS working :(
[15:32] <RoyK> well, that's not because it's a single partition ;)
[15:33] <RoyK> probably something wrong in the dns setup, or in the zone file
[15:33] <mauritslamers_> hey all, I have a problem installing gitlab… I have two users, git (grp git) and gitlab (grp gitlab git). I have a directory with perms 770 git:git and my gitlab user is not allowed to enter this directory, anyone an idea?
[15:35] <mauritslamers_> only when the gitlab users has git as primary group it is allowed access....
[15:35] <mauritslamers_> directory above is also fine (755)
[15:35] <RoyK> mauritslamers_: dunno - perhaps try #git
[15:35] <mauritslamers_> RoyK: it doesn't have to do with git :)
[15:36] <mauritslamers_> it is a disk permissions issue
[15:36] <RoyK> mauritslamers_: which ubuntu version?
[15:36] <mauritslamers_> 12.04
[15:37] <mauritslamers_> wherever I create a directory with user1:user1 and user2 is member of the user1 group, it is not allowed access when the permissions are 770
[15:37] <mauritslamers_> s/it/user2
[15:38] <mauritslamers_> there is no acl, if selinux was on, I turned it off etc etc
[15:38] <escott> mauritslamers_, verify the output of "groups" and ls -l the folder in question and all folders below it down to root
[15:38] <mauritslamers_> escott: did so
[15:39] <RoyK> mauritslamers_: su - gitlab ; groups
[15:39] <mauritslamers_> uid=1002(gitlab) gid=1002(gitlab) groups=1002(gitlab),116(git)
[15:39] <mauritslamers_> (output of id)
[15:39] <mauritslamers_> gitlab@DevMT2:/home$ groups
[15:39] <mauritslamers_> gitlab git
[15:40] <RoyK> mauritslamers_: are you sure the user has access to the parent directory?
[15:40] <mauritslamers_> yes
[15:40] <mauritslamers_> and it is granted access when the world executable bit is set, or the git group is being set to be the primary group of the gitlab user
[15:40] <RoyK> well, I just did a quick test - useradd -m gittest ; groupadd git ; added gittest to group git, created a dir with ownership root:git and mode 770 - works for me...
[15:41] <mauritslamers_> RoyK: that is not the situation
[15:41] <mauritslamers_> when a user is created, you also get the personal group
[15:41] <RoyK> mauritslamers_: oh - what did I misunderstand?
[15:41] <RoyK> well, of course
[15:42] <mauritslamers_> created two users: git  (having personal group git) and gitlab (having personal group gitlab)
[15:42] <mauritslamers_> I added the git group to the gitlab groups
[15:42] <mauritslamers_> and don't get access
[15:42] <mauritslamers_> if it helps: this is how the users are created: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/stable/doc/install/installation.md
[15:43] <mauritslamers_> https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/stable/doc/install/installation.md#3-users
[15:43] <RoyK> just tried to create git1 and git2, put git1 into git2's group, su - git1, cd ~git2, touch asdf
[15:43] <RoyK> works for me - with 770 mode
[15:44] <patdk-lap> you can't add a group to a group
[15:45]  * RoyK didn't
[15:45] <patdk-lap> now the issue you might have is, group permissions aren't updated unless you logout and back in
[15:45] <mauritslamers_> patdk-lap: I know
[15:45] <mauritslamers_> killed all the processes of the user, then su - user
[15:45] <mauritslamers_> still not getting in
[15:46] <mauritslamers_> RoyK: how is the perm settings groupwise? git1:git1?
[15:46] <RoyK> in the last test, yes, that was it
[15:46] <mauritslamers_> weird… it just doesn't work here
[15:47] <escott> mauritslamers_, please just paste the output of ls -l
[15:47] <mauritslamers_> escott: drwxrwx--- 28 git  git  4096 Dec 15 14:25 repositories
[15:47] <mauritslamers_> drwxrwxr-x 15 git  git  4096 Dec 15 11:39 .
[15:47] <mauritslamers_> drwxr-xr-x  7 root root 4096 Dec 13 18:53 ..
[15:48] <mauritslamers_> . => /home/git
[15:48] <mauritslamers_> .. => /home
[15:48] <escott> mauritslamers_, and "touch test" outputs what
[15:48] <mauritslamers_> touch test in where exactly?
[15:48] <mauritslamers_> in /home/git?
[15:49] <escott> mauritslamers_, sure
[15:49] <mauritslamers_> permission denied
[15:49] <mauritslamers_> could it have to do with git having an id of 116 and gitlab of > 1000?
[15:50] <mauritslamers_> *uid
[15:50] <RoyK> no
[15:50] <recon_lap> mauritslamers_: what are the permissions on the directory /home/git  instead of the files
[15:50] <mauritslamers_> recon_lap: drwxrwxr-x 15 git     git     4096 Dec 15 11:39 git
[15:53] <recon_lap> the member of the group git? and the output of whoami
[15:53] <recon_lap> members*
[15:54] <escott> mauritslamers_, did you logout after running the usermod?
[15:54] <mauritslamers_> escott: as user gitlab yes
[15:54] <mauritslamers_> not as user root
[15:55] <escott> mauritslamers_, you shouldnt be logging in as root. but thats another issue.
[15:55] <mauritslamers_> escott: I know :)
[15:55] <mauritslamers_> gitlab@DevMT2:~$ groups
[15:55] <mauritslamers_> gitlab git
[15:55] <escott> mauritslamers_, "id" shows "git (116)
[15:56] <mauritslamers_> gitlab@DevMT2:~$ whoami
[15:56] <mauritslamers_> gitlab
[15:56] <mauritslamers_> escott: indeed: uid=1002(gitlab) gid=1002(gitlab) groups=1002(gitlab),116(git)
[15:58] <mauritslamers_> root@DevMT2:/home# grep ^git /etc/group
[15:58] <mauritslamers_> git:x:116:git,gitlab
[15:58] <mauritslamers_> gitlab:x:1002:
[16:00] <escott> mauritslamers_, the only things i can think to check are things like "lsattr" or verifying that the mountpoint is not read-only or some such
[16:00] <u01010> how can I write persian in consoe mode
[16:01] <mauritslamers_> escott: root@DevMT2:/home# lsattr
[16:01] <mauritslamers_> lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on ./gitlab
[16:01] <mauritslamers_> lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on ./maurits
[16:01] <mauritslamers_> lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on ./openqrm
[16:01] <mauritslamers_> lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on ./bomt
[16:01] <mauritslamers_> lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on ./git
[16:01] <mauritslamers_> (sorry for the list)
[16:01] <escott> mauritslamers_, what filesystem is this?
[16:02] <mauritslamers_> escott: afaik ext4, but done by someone else as part of an Ubuntu Cloudcontroller
[16:02] <mauritslamers_> so it is the main disk of a virtual host, but without physical devices
[16:02] <mauritslamers_> had a lot of issues getting around kernel installations
[16:03] <mauritslamers_> so I am actually guessing this is a NFS mount
[16:04] <escott> mauritslamers_, could be something with that
[16:04] <mauritslamers_> escott: true indeed
[16:52] <akerok_> Does anyone have experience running ubuntu server using virtualbox?
[16:54] <jesusemelendezm> I do
[16:54] <jesusemelendezm> Akerok
[16:54] <jesusemelendezm> I do run ubuntu server... why?
[16:56] <akerok_> I need some help.  I want to run an IRC server off of it.  I'm not sure how to set that up.
[16:58] <k1ng> akerok_, www.inspircd.org
[16:58] <k1ng> you asking in wrong place
[16:59] <akerok_> I do apologize.  I was sent here form another channel.
[17:00] <recon_lap> akerok_: have you even look for an tutorials ? like http://www.the-tech-tutorial.com/?p=709
[17:03] <akerok_> No.  I was hoping the community would be willing to help.  It's faster that way.
[17:05] <recon_lap> akerok_: great attitude dude
[17:06] <akerok_> What do you mean?
[17:09] <recon_lap> akerok_: sure it's quicker to get someone else to do it for you, easier too. good luck with that.
[17:21] <akerok_> I asked because I want to learn, not have someone do it for me.  I'm surprised that I'm being put down when I ask to be trained in somehting.
[17:31] <recon_lap> akerok_: you seem like a nice person, why not have a go at one of those links and if you get stuck then come back and ask about what you don't understand.
[17:34] <akerok_> I thank you.  I will.  I do apologize for the way I seem right now.  I'm really frustrated right now about some other things.
[17:35] <trapni> hey. I'd like to upgrade my OpenStack cloud from Essex to Folsom on 12.04 LTS, and found http://blog.canonical.com/2012/09/14/now-you-can-have-your-openstack-cake-and-eat-it/ that tells me the repositorie URLs, however, I am missing its public GPG key
[17:36] <trapni> anyone knows how to find out so I can add it? Because `apt-get update` refuses these repos to look at
[17:38] <recon_lap> akerok_: did not mean to discourage you. but people are more likely to help those who help themselves first. good luck getting the irc server installed.
[17:38] <trapni> recon_lap ?
[17:38] <trapni> ah, sorry ;)
[17:41] <akerok_> I understand.  I had an IRC server running on a Windows computer a few weeks ago, but I really wanted to run it on a server.  I will look at the links, and ask questions if I get stuck.
[17:48] <julian_c> akerok_: The Ubuntu Server Guide has a section about installing an IRC server. It is basic, but it a good place to start.
[17:49] <akerok_> Thank you.
[17:50] <julian_c> However... there are multiple IRC daemons out there in wide use.
[19:51] <nibbler> any clue why i cant install the package - the dependency is met.... http://nopaste.info/bf9c13f3ce.html
[19:51] <ikonia> nibbler: they are not met
[19:51] <ikonia> that's why it's saying "dependency not met"
[19:54] <nibbler> ikonia: i might be blind, but i says ": Depends: roundcube-core (>= 0.5.1)"  and also "0.7.1-2" is in State: installed (roundcube-core)
[19:55] <ikonia> yes, look at the version difference
[19:55] <ikonia> nibbler: it looks like you are installing a package from an older release.
[19:55] <nibbler> last time i checked 0.7.1- was >= 0.5.1
[19:55] <ikonia> or you've pulled in roundcube-core from a much later release.
[19:55] <nibbler> well, i'm using my hosters ubuntu 12.4 repository. but the numbers look fine to me anyway :/
[19:56] <ikonia> nibbler: what version of ubuntu are you currently running
[19:56] <nibbler> ikonia: server 12.4 lts
[19:56] <ikonia> !info roundcube-core precise
[19:57] <ikonia> !info oundcube-plugins-extra precise
[19:57] <ikonia> ops
[19:57] <ikonia> !info roundcube-plugins-extra precise
[19:57] <nibbler> State: not installed
[19:57] <nibbler> Version: 0.6-20111030
[19:57] <nibbler> ...thats the one i have
[19:58] <ikonia> so the versions match up spot on
[19:58] <ikonia> why is the depend so low ? 0.5.1 is a mile away from 0.7
[19:59] <ikonia> nibbler: looks like it's roundcube that's the issue here
[19:59] <nibbler> don't knew the roundcube-plugin-extras progress etc, but somehow it does not add up here. apt is telling me it cant do it, but also tells me the deps are satisfied...
[19:59] <ikonia> you've got roundcube 0.1~rc2-2 installed
[20:00] <nibbler> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.  <-- that does not point anywhere?
[20:00] <ikonia> Breaks: roundcube (< 0.1~rc2-2), roundcube (< 0.1~rc2-2)
[20:00] <nibbler> ikonia: roundcube and roundcube-core report 0.7.1-2
[20:01] <ikonia> that output doesn't think so
[20:01] <ikonia> I'd guess that is the real question
[20:06] <nibbler> !info roundcube-plugins
[20:07] <nibbler> this one was installed without probelm
[20:07] <ikonia> that's 12.10
[20:07] <ikonia> not 12.04
[20:08] <ikonia> I hope you've not got that on your 12.04 box
[20:08] <nibbler> ah ok, well 12.04 version of this
[20:08] <nibbler> ;-) hope so too
[20:08] <ikonia> nibbler: out of interest, can you do a dpkg -l | grep roundcube
[20:08] <ikonia> anything look odd there
[20:09] <nibbler> http://nopaste.info/8c9ff1560f.html
[20:09] <nibbler> would not say so
[20:09] <SpaceBass> what happened to add-apt-repository ?
[20:09] <ikonia> nibbler: so why does it think it's breaking something
[20:09] <patdk-lap> dunno, SpaceBass works good for me
[20:10] <nibbler> ikonia: even looks like a apt bug to me - but what about the held packages?
[20:10] <ikonia> nibbler: any PPA's or 3rd party repos enabled ?
[20:10] <nibbler> it says i'd have two of thos
[20:10] <nibbler> no ppas
[20:10] <ikonia> 3rd party ?
[20:10] <nibbler> nada
[20:10] <SpaceBass> patdk-lap,  odd, fresh install and I get command not found, even after installing python-software-properties
[20:10] <nibbler> all fresh installed
[20:10] <patdk-lap> what version? I stick to lts
[20:11] <SpaceBass> 12.10
[20:11] <ikonia> nibbler: most odd
[20:12] <ikonia> nibbler: I've not got space to do a test VM at the moment
[20:13] <nibbler> just booting a 12.4 livecd might help, i'll download one...
[20:15] <nibbler> ill look into this, thanks for your help anyway ikonia
[20:49] <nibbler> ikonia: i just booted 12.04 desktop live-cd, added the other ubuntu repositorys (deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse) and get same broken behaviour
[20:49] <nibbler> so i'd say its either apt or some repository broken :/
[21:15] <ikonia> nibbler: I wonder if it's just that packages meta data is screwed
[23:08] <nibbler> ikonia: i'd be suprised if the displayed version would differ from the version in the metadata. but i'm already surprised
[23:08] <ikonia> agreed
