| Oblivion1500 | hello i have a recently installed version of ubuntu server long term and i was wondering if there was some sort of firewall installed by default that my not be allowing me ssh access to it | 03:30 |
|---|---|---|
| Oblivion1500 | though, i am able to access it locally... well that was a dumb question | 03:30 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: there's the ufw front end to raw iptables ... | 03:30 |
| Oblivion1500 | will that allow local connections but not public? | 03:31 |
| sarnold | it may.. | 03:31 |
| Oblivion1500 | how do i change settings for it? | 03:32 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: check "sudo ufw status" output for information... | 03:32 |
| Oblivion1500 | ok | 03:32 |
| Oblivion1500 | and it is inactive, great i have done almost everything i can to get ssh working.. i dont know what im doing wrong i have even gone to the extent of putting my router in dmz then from there my server in dmz | 03:33 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: does netstat -nl | grep :22 show sshd accepting connections from 0.0.0.0:*? | 03:34 |
| Oblivion1500 | interesting, let me give you a screen shot, it doesent show it now but i beleave i did it before and it did,, though im also trying to ftp into it and that doesent work and 21 is showing up.. let me get that screenshot | 03:38 |
| devral | my server is acting really weird. it's taking a long time to execute commands. I did an strace on "echo hi" and it took 5 seconds to execute "brk(0) = 0x1594000" this just randomly started happening. | 03:39 |
| Oblivion1500 | http://imgur.com/8uMSpVI | 03:39 |
| sarnold | devral: check free output to see if you're deep into swap; vmstat 1 will show you swap in and swap out traffic | 03:40 |
| Oblivion1500 | depending on how much ram i have i usually set swap to 10 or 0 | 03:41 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: ps auxw | grep ssh -- that's odd, looks like sshd might not even be running. | 03:41 |
| Oblivion1500 | that is a screen shot of me using ssh to log into that server, locally of course | 03:42 |
| Oblivion1500 | http://imgur.com/KV3HTuP | 03:44 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: heh, indeed -- there's no process 2832. You'd expect to see a line like this one: | 03:45 |
| sarnold | root 1200 0.0 0.0 49968 2828 ? Ss Feb19 0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd -D | 03:45 |
| Oblivion1500 | so can you tell me how to fix it? | 03:45 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: I'd try another "service sshd restart" command.. | 03:47 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: chcek the logs if it doesn't start | 03:47 |
| Oblivion1500 | it doesent see it as a service... | 03:47 |
| Oblivion1500 | how does the daemon not come with openssh | 03:48 |
| Oblivion1500 | wtf lol | 03:48 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: oh, my fault. "service ssh restart" | 03:49 |
| Oblivion1500 | nothing, actually did this, ill get you a screen | 03:50 |
| Oblivion1500 | http://imgur.com/6anRmJ4 | 03:52 |
| Oblivion1500 | also if the service is restarted shouldnt i get disconected from the server? | 03:54 |
| Oblivion1500 | like what happens if i do: ssh restart | 03:54 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: no, it only kills te listening daemon | 03:55 |
| Oblivion1500 | oh i see | 03:55 |
| sarnold | if it killed all sessions, that'd make it way harder to do server maintainence ;) | 03:55 |
| Oblivion1500 | yea your right | 03:56 |
| Oblivion1500 | so am i going to have to sudo apt-get remove openssh then reinstall or what am i to do? | 03:56 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: check your logs for some more information... hopefully it reports why it won't start | 03:57 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: check /var/log/auth.log first -- I see some "Server listening" messages in there... | 03:57 |
| Oblivion1500 | http://imgur.com/1MZrbKc | 03:59 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: heh, those are from four days ago :) | 04:00 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: look towards the end of the file | 04:00 |
| Oblivion1500 | oh wow | 04:00 |
| Oblivion1500 | sorry | 04:00 |
| Oblivion1500 | found the error, i think http://imgur.com/Gudkdh6 | 04:04 |
| Oblivion1500 | or that was me trying to restart without root | 04:04 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: .. that | 04:05 |
| Oblivion1500 | either way still an error lol | 04:05 |
| sarnold | man. that's just confusing. | 04:05 |
| devral | sarnold: free says 0 used, 8514556 free, 8514556 total. doesn't seem to be using swap. | 04:05 |
| sarnold | devral: I did not expect that. | 04:05 |
| sarnold | devral: loadaverage? (not that that's great, but .. it's a start...) | 04:05 |
| devral | sarnold: how do you mean? | 04:06 |
| sarnold | devral: well, a high load average doesn't necessarily mean anything, but if you're used to seeing '4' and you suddenly see '200', it means something. :D | 04:07 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: try this, "sudo sshd -D" -- and then try to log in from another terminal | 04:07 |
| devral | sarnold: in what command, I mean? cpu load in top? | 04:08 |
| sarnold | devral: oh :) sorry. top or cat /proc/loadavg | 04:08 |
| devral | sarnold: it's not really going above 1, lol. | 04:09 |
| Oblivion1500 | sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path | 04:09 |
| sarnold | devral: wow. | 04:09 |
| devral | sarnold: "load average: 0.08, 1.05, 1.64" | 04:09 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: oh :) okay, sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -D | 04:09 |
| sarnold | devral: well, it's dropped a lot -- is the machine still horrible? | 04:10 |
| Oblivion1500 | ohhh, lol hold on | 04:10 |
| devral | sarnold: not so much right now, but it was rather sporadic before so we'll see | 04:10 |
| Oblivion1500 | changed a yes no arg to all | 04:11 |
| sarnold | devral: _maybe_ you hit an updatedb or automatic security update thing ... | 04:11 |
| Oblivion1500 | just give me a min to change that | 04:11 |
| Oblivion1500 | i was trying to allow tcp forwarding to see if that would fix my problem, well thought i could use arg all | 04:13 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: it's just about time for me to bail; if I'm gone and your latest effort doesn't fix it, try "sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -d" -- not -D -- that'll give some debug info. | 04:13 |
| sarnold | Oblivion1500: but the sshd process is not started. tcp forwarding may _also_ be a problem :) but it might not be the only one. | 04:14 |
| Oblivion1500 | ill just change AllowTcpForwarding to yes | 04:14 |
| sarnold | oh, sshd option... yeah. | 04:15 |
| sarnold | sorry, I thought you had a firewalling option somewhere :) | 04:15 |
| Oblivion1500 | it should be yes by default though right, i think thats why i did all lol | 04:15 |
| sarnold | alright, time to run :) good luck Oblivion1500 and devral :) | 04:16 |
| Oblivion1500 | thanks, i wish you could stay you have been more help than most people | 04:16 |

| swordfischer | Hi, I am trying to set up heartbeat with my ubuntu server, and I've run into this issue where service heartbeat start / /etc/init.d/heartbeat start returns no information (as opposed to my CentOS setup). The logfile I've specified is not created, so cannot debug from that. At a loss right now. Any ideas? | 10:45 |
| nibalizer | have you read the init script? | 11:19 |
| nibalizer | swordfischer: | 11:19 |
| swordfischer | nibalizer: the one in init.d? not really, I guess I should then? | 11:58 |
| nibalizer | yea | 12:43 |
| nibalizer | maybe there is a directory it is experting to exist that doesn't and the whole script just bails | 12:43 |
| zul | yolanda: +1 | 12:45 |
| swordfischer | nibalizer: well I'll have a look later, but something like that should at least create a error/warning.. I followed a tutorial on ubuntus site :) | 12:49 |
| nibalizer | yea | 12:52 |
| nibalizer | you could also check syslog | 12:52 |

| nibalizer | link to the docs youor following? | 12:52 |
| swordfischer | nibalizer: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHighAvailabilityTeam/Heartbeat - well I fixed it, ln -s /usr/lib/ /usr/lib64/ | 13:08 |

| dodo3773 | maco: So it doesn't really matter what I set it to? | 16:55 |
| yolanda | zul, done | 16:56 |
| zul | thanks | 16:56 |
| maco | dodo3773: as far as i know, not really. what's in the list or in /etc/hosts for your ip can determine some stuff about what apache will respond to (like "oh hey that domain's not me. *do nothing*" if you lack a * entry in apache...i think..been a while since i used apache) but the no fqhn error has never actually been a problem for me either (doesnt affect anything i notice) | 16:56 |
| maco | mailservers might care? | 16:57 |
| dodo3773 | maco: The reason I was looking into this is because it seems to be a requirement for virtualmin. I have webmin setup now but the current setup is a security nightmare in my opinion. So I need to get my developers onto usermin or virtualmin. That is why I was asking early about besides the /var/www directory if there is maybe anywhere else these guys might need acccess (for phpmyadmin, mysql, etc..). I am brand new to this server stuff. | 16:58 |
| rbennacer | how can i see the last security patch installed on my ubuntu server ? | 17:01 |
| maco | ah. ive never used that. i'm a web dev, but I live on the shell ;) i presume this is an internal system? if so, do you have internal dns or are devs typing ip addresses? | 17:01 |
| genii-around | rbennacer: I usually do grep security /var/log/apt/term.log | 17:03 |
| rbennacer | what is the term.log? | 17:03 |
| genii-around | rbennacer: It's the terminal output that has been generated when apt-get is run | 17:04 |
| rbennacer | someone told me about the apt history log but it is not really useful | 17:04 |
| rbennacer | nice thanks | 17:05 |
| dodo3773 | maco: I have the devs logging into webmin froma web browser with an ip address | 17:08 |
| dodo3773 | maco: So as a web dev yourself is there anywhere on the system besides /var/www that you need write access to if you were a regular user? | 17:09 |
| maco | nope | 17:09 |
| maco | as long as you have a login for whatever mysql client you're using, that should be it | 17:10 |
| maco | i suppose if the devs needed to go install ruby gems, there'd be that | 17:10 |
| maco | but i think they'd just as you to do "i need this dependency" type stuff | 17:10 |
| maco | *ask | 17:10 |
| dodo3773 | maco: Yeah. That's what they did for /var/www | 17:12 |

| RoyK | hiro5id: if it works with 12.04.1, please post a bug with whatever logs you have | 18:26 |
| hiro5id | Ok Royk ... Oh.... do you guys think it might have something to do with using "VMXNET3" as the network adapter for the Virtual Machine configuration ? | 18:27 |
| RoyK | lemme check what I use | 18:27 |
| hiro5id | great :) | 18:27 |
| RoyK | vmxnet3 in use | 18:29 |
| hiro5id | hhmmmm.... k | 18:29 |
| RoyK | this is in a 4-node cluster | 18:30 |
| RoyK | shouldn't matter, though | 18:30 |
| hiro5id | Just for kicks, i'm going to try again with a E1000 Ethernet adapter configured this time and see if it makes a difference with 12.04.2 | 18:32 |
| RoyK | might do | 18:33 |
| RoyK | iirc 12.04.2 uses a newer kernel | 18:33 |
| RoyK | which I think is rather strange, since by doing that, the lads (or lassies) at canonical will have to patch up two different kernel trees or force people to upgrade | 18:34 |
| hiro5id | ...i'll be afk for a bit. By the way this is my first time trying to get help from the community. I'm very surprised at the prompt response. | 18:36 |

| ModFather | hi there, how i can add a printer through ip:port to my ubuntu 12.10 ? | 18:56 |
| ModFather | i've install cups and hplip but still i get: "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip failed" | 18:56 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/cups.html | 18:57 |
| holstein | theres a webgui as well that i have used before | 18:57 |
| ModFather | holstein i have used that and i install successfully cups | 18:57 |
| ModFather | also i added my printer with the correct driver through Web GUI of Cups | 18:58 |
| ModFather | still get a weired error | 18:58 |
| holstein | i would try other drivers | 18:58 |
| ModFather | ppd file? | 18:58 |
| holstein | i dont know what printer you have.. but i would just try other ones | 18:59 |
| ModFather | drivers can cause that error: "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip failed" | 18:59 |
| ModFather | ? | 18:59 |
| holstein | sure.. that error is not very helpful.. "failed" coule mean anything | 19:00 |
| sarnold | ModFather: perhaps your problem is already documented? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip | 19:00 |
| sarnold | ModFather: check logs to see if you can find a more detailed error message | 19:00 |
| holstein | ideally, you would run a live CD, and test the printer with *some* functional driver, then you can add that, knowing the driver works | 19:00 |
| ModFather | holstein i tried add another driver i got the same error | 19:08 |
| holstein | ModFather: i have sometimes tried 20 or so til i found one that worked.. i like to test from a live CD though since now you are troubleshooting several things at once, as well as the driver support | 19:09 |

| Quebert | hi guys. could someone here tell me what you would normally have your file permissions setup as e.g. user ubuntu group www-data or something else? | 20:01 |
| RoyK | Quebert: for the web stuff? | 20:09 |
| Quebert | hey RoyK, yeah I was thinking from the public_html folder down | 20:09 |
| Quebert | everything below that I have owned as root | 20:10 |
| Quebert | root:root | 20:10 |
| RoyK | Quebert: so long that www-data can read it, it's good | 20:12 |
| RoyK | Quebert: if www-data can write to it, it's normally not good, since things may be changed in case of a security breach | 20:13 |
| Quebert | so would it be safe to say all files below public_html could be owned by group www-data and user ubuntu with permissions of 755 ? | 20:15 |
| RoyK | Quebert: that should be safe, yes | 20:16 |
| Quebert | ok cool, thank you Royk! | 20:16 |
| RoyK | Quebert: not sure why the group ownership would be needed, though | 20:17 |
| Quebert | RoyK doesnt each folder/file need to belong to a group? | 20:17 |
| RoyK | yes | 20:17 |
| RoyK | just use root:root for the lot and 755 | 20:18 |
| resno | RoyK: you dont use www-data? | 20:18 |
| sarnold | or user:user if you don't want to have to sudo to root to update the content.. | 20:18 |
| RoyK | resno: why would I? | 20:18 |
| resno | sarnold: i was recommended to use suexec for that | 20:19 |
| sarnold | resno: the apache config thingy? | 20:19 |
| Quebert | I'm using nginx, doesn't nginx need to write to cache files? | 20:20 |
| Quebert | nginx belongs to www-data | 20:20 |
| RoyK | Quebert: if nginx needs to write cache files, it shouldn't be in /var/www | 20:20 |
| Quebert | what do you mean RoyK | 20:21 |
| Quebert | I have a static folder just above public_html | 20:21 |
| RoyK | Quebert: nginx may need a cache dir | 20:21 |
| Quebert | yeah that's the static folder | 20:21 |
| RoyK | but giving www-data write access to the whole thing, isn't too smart | 20:21 |
| xsl | guys im lost... after 2 days the server always hangs ... i'm in a dead end... i dont see errors... i dunno what to do .. :( plz any pointers | 20:22 |
| RoyK | xsl: console access? | 20:22 |
| xsl | it does not respond | 20:22 |
| Quebert | Royk is execute ok? | 20:22 |
| RoyK | not for files | 20:22 |
| Quebert | for www-data | 20:22 |
| resno | out of ram? out of hdd? | 20:22 |
| Quebert | just foders? | 20:22 |
| RoyK | Quebert: +x is needed for directories | 20:23 |
| Quebert | rwxr-xr-x | 20:23 |
| Quebert | ? | 20:23 |
| resno | RoyK: you basically limit read to only folders apache needs to write to. essetnially. | 20:23 |
| resno | err, write i mean | 20:23 |
| xsl | resno i tought of that ... maybe its a problem of inodes or something :( | 20:23 |
| xsl | im running a server with several lx-containers | 20:24 |
| RoyK | resno: yes | 20:24 |
| resno | xsl: if you asked me guess based on your symtoms thats what i would go after first | 20:24 |
| sarnold | xsl: _nothing_ in the logs? | 20:24 |
| xsl | nothing = 0 | 20:24 |
| sarnold | ouch. | 20:24 |
| resno | i bet theres something there though | 20:24 |
| xsl | inside or outside the containers | 20:24 |
| sarnold | xsl: when I once had to troubleshoot an annoying system, we found it very useful to have something like this running: while true ; do sleep 1 ; mv /root/procs /root/procs.1 ; ps auxw > /root/procs ; done | 20:26 |
| sarnold | xsl: it gave us some kind of snapshot of the system seconds before it got unusable. | 20:26 |
| sarnold | xsl: .. you may find e.g. dmesg | tail -20 more useful. or free output... | 20:27 |
| xsl | yeah i understand your point | 20:27 |
| xsl | i'm asking some stuff on the #lxcontainers related to ext4 ( to know it they are supported as a container backend ) | 20:28 |
| xsl | i bet it i wanted to create a simple "LAMP" server it was still up ... but wen we go paranoid and do containers and tweaking .. ffs :( | 20:28 |
| pmatulis | am i the only person who is having trouble booting a kvm guest using 'bus=scsi'? so far i'm reading this is not supported at the bios level | 20:41 |
| alaing | hi guys any idea why when I try ftp to my /var/www on the ubuntu server it timesout but if I use putty it works fine. | 21:41 |
| alaing | I'm filezilla client and I've tried dreamweavers built in ftp | 21:41 |
| holstein | alaing: i would just put files up where you have permissions, and ssh in with putty and move them | 21:44 |
| alaing | i'm using the same username/password in filezilla and putty | 21:45 |
| alaing | I thought it would be a permissions but its strange seeing as I can access it from one app and not the other | 21:46 |
| holstein | alaing: i would use filezilla to put files wher you know you have permission.. and use putty to move them | 21:46 |
| holstein | alaing: test with other locations.. other users.. smaller test files | 21:46 |
| holstein | alaing: you are probably ssh with putty and ftp with filezilla | 21:47 |
| alaing | its a web server that I'm running from my home broadband so I should have permission for all folders and system etc | 21:47 |
| holstein | alaing: its likey that you are connecting ftp with filezilla, and ssh with putty | 21:47 |
| alaing | holstein: actually I'm using the same port | 21:48 |
| holstein | alaing: i would move them to another location that you *can* connect filezilla to.. then move them with putty via ssh where you want them to be | 21:48 |
| alaing | actually could that be the problem filezilla and putty using the same port | 21:49 |
| holstein | otherwise, you'll just need to troubleshoot permissions, and maybe enable a root login, which i wouldnt do, to be able to put things directly into /var/www | 21:49 |
| holstein | alaing: they are clients.. ftp and ssh shouldnt be using the same port AFAIK | 21:49 |
| holstein | alaing: how are you connect wiht putty? how are you connecting with filezilla? what user? does that user have access to the directory? | 21:50 |
| alaing | filezilla is using sftp | 21:51 |
| alaing | port 2221 | 21:51 |
| holstein | i would put the files up in the user home, and ssh in with putty and sudo move them to /var/www | 21:51 |
| alaing | and putty is using port 2221 | 21:51 |
| alaing | using ssh | 21:52 |
| holstein | alaing: you are likely just able to navigate to that directory with putty.. try putting something there, and you wont have permission | 21:53 |
| alaing | ls shows me the files/folders in there from putty | 21:54 |
| holstein | alaing: sure.. but you probably dont have permission to put anything there... and thats why filezilla is failing to connect to that location.. just let filezilla connect to the /home of the user, and put the files there, and move them from putty to where you want them with sudo | 21:55 |
| alaing | ok i've redirected filezilla to the /home/myUser and its still timing out | 21:56 |
| holstein | alaing: what operating system are you connection from? | 21:57 |
| alaing | win 7 home prem | 21:57 |
| alaing | it gets to "Listing directory /home/myuser" | 21:58 |
| holstein | alaing: http://hartvig.de/2008/mounting-your-ssh-shares-in-microsoft-windows/ is an option | 21:58 |
| alaing | and then times out and gives this msg Error:Failed to retrieve directory listing | 21:58 |
| holstein | alaing: sometime i just blow it out and start over. username, port.. IP.. everything | 21:59 |
| alaing | download link does work on that linky | 22:00 |
| alaing | yeah i was afraid you were going to say that | 22:00 |
| fehwalker | are you sure filezilla is using sftp and not ftps? | 22:01 |
| alaing | fehwalker: well according to the site manaer its using sftp | 22:02 |
| holstein | alaing: its using ssh, since you are connecting ssh | 22:02 |
| alaing | sorry still not quiet confident on the cmd line | 22:03 |
| alaing | what command could I use to create a document in /var/www | 22:04 |
| alaing | just to see if it fails | 22:04 |
| holstein | nano to make a text document... or touch | 22:05 |
| alaing | how do you save and exit from nano? | 22:06 |
| escott | alaing, touch | 22:06 |
| alaing | ^x? | 22:06 |
| uvirtbot | alaing: Error: "x?" is not a valid command. | 22:06 |
| alaing | touch? | 22:07 |
| holstein | touch filename.html will make that file | 22:08 |
| sarnold | touch /var/www/testing ; ls -l /var/www/testing | 22:08 |
| xsl | ^help | 22:09 |
| uvirtbot | xsl: (help [<plugin>] [<command>]) -- This command gives a useful description of what <command> does. <plugin> is only necessary if the command is in more than one plugin. | 22:09 |
| alaing | it createed it | 22:09 |
| alaing | so my user must have access to /var/www/ | 22:09 |
| alaing | and permission to write | 22:09 |
| alaing | i think i use vsftp on the server | 22:14 |
| sarnold | I thought you were using sftp? that'd be handled through sshd | 22:15 |
| alaing | actually it might be sshd - I'm just double checking | 22:15 |
| alaing | I was wondering whether there would be logs on the attempts which may give a clue as to why is failing | 22:16 |
| sarnold | alaing: /var/log/auth.log ought to have the logins, at least | 22:17 |
| holstein | alaing: if you can ssh in, you should be able to use filezilla... double check the credentials | 22:17 |
| alaing | holstein: filezilla is connecting | 22:18 |
| alaing | its just timing out when it tries to list the directory | 22:18 |
| alaing | actually I just had putty "hang" on me as well | 22:19 |
| alaing | i went into /var/log/ and dir dir and it only list about 3 items and then stopped | 22:19 |
| alaing | I cant escape it. | 22:20 |
| alaing | looks like I have to reset the session | 22:20 |
| holstein | alaing: all i have been basing my comments on is a fully connected and fucntioning ssh connection from putty | 22:20 |
| holstein | i think you might have issues server side, or other issues with your connectitivy | 22:20 |
| theriwolf | Removing sendmail-bin ... | 22:24 |

| theriwolf | Any idea how to fix this? | 22:24 |
| sarnold | theriwolf: invoke-rc.d is supplied by the sysv-rc package -- is that installed? | 22:25 |
| theriwolf | I need to install a package to remove a package? | 22:26 |
| theriwolf | it is installed yes | 22:27 |
| sarnold | theriwolf: is there anything funny with ls -l /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d ? | 22:27 |
| theriwolf | hm.. | 22:28 |
| theriwolf | updating that package helped | 22:28 |
| alaing | thanks for your help anyway guys | 22:29 |
| alaing | I'll try a few more things | 22:29 |
| keithzg | Arghh, this is driving me crazy. One of my servers has entirely lost the ability to resolve names, despite having "dns-nameservers" defined with the same internal network nameserver that all the other servers are using just fine. | 23:51 |
