MraAlbertinaHi. Is it possible to VNC a headless server? If so, does it need X server?00:36
MraAlbertinalet me rephrase my doubts... do i need a desktop environment to VNC a headless server?00:39
sarnoldMraAlbertina: you may be able to get away with 'ssh -X user@server programname' if you just want to run one specific GUI program..00:41
MraAlbertinasarnold: for instance, i'm trying to run synergy (which i never had problems) and i believe now (saddly) i might need their gui00:43
MraAlbertinathis pc really doens't have display (broken)00:44
MraAlbertinai mean the graphics card (not fixable, not replaceable)00:44
sarnoldMraAlbertina: here's a guy's blog post about using Xvfb with tightvnc without a display: http://codehunk.wordpress.com/2009/08/23/headless-x-setup-with-debianlenny/00:46
sarnoldMraAlbertina: the important part is probably Xvfb00:46
MraAlbertinagreat, sarnold. thank you so much00:46
MraAlbertinaprobably this way i might also get rid of webmin and ips300:47
MraAlbertinaso... less services running00:47
ewookaaaaaah. brainfreeze. Why do I get awesome ideas so darn late?00:58
BaNzounetHey, It look like php is not working "every where" on my server phpmyadmin works fine but script in my personal directory are not render (I see the php code in my browser) Any idea why?01:24
sarnoldBaNzounet: you'll need to configure your server to execute .php files via modcgi and suexec or something similar. (No server administrator will ever allow executing user-owned php files directly via mod_cgi or fastcgi)01:32
BaNzounetsarnold: may you tell me what I should do/install please?01:34
BaNzounetMhum, I found was I was doing wrong Since I reinstaller php I forgot to comment the line in mids-available/php5.conf for userdir01:41
Logos01Howdy folks. I have a physical box whose GRUB seems to be borked -- I can't boot successfully and there's no difference in behavior between the "Recovery Mode" boot option and regular. What kernel parameters do I need to feed to get into the 'recovery' mode? It's not "1"/"single" like I'm used to -- those aren't working.02:46

the_hydrais there any customized ubuntu server that includes all the OpenStack softwares, so I don't need to download more, just the ISO?03:42
Guest24038sorry, wrong place :/ haha03:43
holsteinthe_hydra: i have use these before http://www.turnkeylinux.org/blog/announcing-openstack-builds03:48
the_hydraholstein: hm, so it's part of turnkeylinux03:49
holsteinthe_hydra: not that im aware of. turnkey make linux appliances based on ubuntu, and they seem to have an openstack one03:49
the_hydraholstein: i see...i'll check that ASAP...IIRC too, once I see similar solution in suse studio build03:50
holsteinthe_hydra: should be an easy installation in any distro03:50
the_hydraholstein: problem is, I still has 32 bit machines, whereas I check most OpenStack based solutions are x86-6403:51
holsteinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuCloudInfrastructure is what i would use03:53

oneandol: its autoselecting python for some reason06:01

andolone: Tried running (or configuring) apt with --no-install-recommends?06:01
oneandol: I was using aptitude.06:02
andolone: Aptitude appear to have -R, --without-recommends instead, but otherwise relying on the same configuration.06:03
oneandol: does the configuration file have to be modified by hand?06:04
onephretor are you off kiltor?06:05
andolone: Well, if you invoke aptitude with --without-recommends it ought to do the trick at least that once. Otherwise you will want to put the following configuring option either in /etc/apt/apt.conf alt in some file under /etc/apt.conf.d/06:06
andolAPT::Install-Recommends "false";06:06
oneWhat about aptitude06:08
andolone: What about it? It reads the same configuration06:09
onebut the syntax is Aptitude::06:09
andolone: ?06:10
andolone: If you take a look in the aptitude man page you will see that it even expliclty mentions Apt::Install-Recommends06:10
oneOk I was just looking at what the file currently has and it spells out Aptitude::06:13

Guest45348G morning all Greetz from Pittsburgh  :)-  .. Gonna toss a big Q out n hope someone can intercept it ... I know from the past yrs that in order 2 "jail" users into thier home dir of ssh was done with patches , etc.. Now I hear setting up chmod 4 users to /home/dir became simple..please enlighten ;)  ty07:58
Guest45348and why cant i change my nick ..lol07:58
Guest45348hmmm intresting same responce i got off 30,00 sites offering info on the matter , lmao ;)08:00
Guest45348even with the later ssh supporting chmod of users,,its still a pain in the ass to setup, the only reasonable solution to achieving this is via vsftpd by creating the chmod list to lock users in home dir..is this really the easiest way? cause its not as easy at it appears 2 be.. the permissions are a double standard ??? Grrr time 2 smoke n break08:15

Gregor3000hello,14:29
Gregor3000something that puzzles me. i am using mod_rewrite  along with wordpress plugin that adds .html to each site. now it all works well and i can access the site via menu. but as soon as i use this as http://link/page.html i get the 404?14:31
Gregor3000so on the one hand i can access the link via menu, but if i copy that link into the browsers line i get 40414:31
Fieldyyep. it's appending .html to page.html, making it page.html.html. you'll want to write your rewrite rule to not apply to URLs ending in ".html" (don't ask me, I don't know how)14:33
Fieldyi bet if you look i your error_log you'll see requests for html.html14:33
mardraumwhy would you ever want to randomly add .html14:33
Gregor3000aha ok i see it now.14:34
Gregor3000it's not just randomly. i am trying to move a static website to wordpress14:34

RoyKI built the 3.9.0rc2 kernel and tested it, removed it, but still 'update-initramfs -u' tries to build its initrd - any idea where its traces may be? this is on ubuntu raring devel15:38
ikoniaRoyK: doesn't raring ship with 3.8 ?15:44
RoyKikonia: as I said, I built 3.9 myself15:50
ikoniaRoyK: yes, but I didn't know if it was from a package update or if you just grabbed it from kernel.org15:50
RoyKjust got it from kernel.org15:51
RoyKI just don't understand why update-initramfs will keep on trying to build that initrd and not the running kernel15:52
ikoniahang on, it's which version is it trying ot build init-ramfs for ?15:53
ikoniathe 3.9 kernel, or the 3.815:53
RoyKhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/5640452/15:55
RoyKno 3.9 kernel around as far as I can see15:55
RoyKnothing in /boot15:55
ikoniaRoyK: now that is a surprise, I'd expect it to either a.) build for kernel installed by a package (which yours isn't) or b.) the running kernel15:55
ikoniaRoyK: yours is doing neither15:56
RoyKhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/5640459/15:56
RoyKthat's stracing it15:56
ikoniainteresting it does have a quick look for dpkg15:57
ikoniaI don't see why it jumps to this15:58
ikoniafaccessat(AT_FDCWD, "/boot/initrd.img-3.9.0-rc2", R_OK) = 015:58
ikoniawhat made it select 3.915:58
RoyKerm - I just removed that and it still builds for 3.915:59
RoyKhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/5640466/16:00
RoyKikonia: any ideas?16:09
ikoniaRoyK: no, I'm very surprised16:10
RoyKso am I...16:10
ikoniaRoyK: I don't see any logic in the earlier strace to suggest why it's picking up the 3.9 kernel16:15
RoyKneither do I16:16
RoyKline 224: read(3, "3.9.0-rc2\n", 128)16:17
RoyKbut from where?16:17
RoyKgot it16:19
RoyKin /var/lib/initramfs-tools, there's a file for each kernel's initrd16:19
RoyKseems it relies on that instead of checking what's really installed16:20
LargePrime_HEYO!16:21
LargePrime_I have a weird set of questions16:22
ikoniaRoyK: agreed16:27
ikoniaRoyK: "from where", I see it selecting it, but no reason why16:27
RoyKikonia: removing the hash files for the kernels no longer present solved this16:30
ikoniaRoyK: explain16:30
RoyKikonia: seems ubuntu creates a hash file for each initrd in /var/lib/initramfs-tools and update-initramfs uses these files to determine which initrd to build. doesn't make sense16:31
ikoniaRoyK: very poor16:31
RoyKso, after removing the new kernel, I just removed the hash files for those, and bingo, update-initramfs creates a valid initrd16:32
ogra_RoyK, you want -k ...16:33
RoyKargh - where is that bug report site? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs contains a small book of stuff, but the link to the real site is there somewhere16:34
ogra_use ubuntu-bug16:34
ogra_on the machine having the issue16:34
RoyKogra_: no, I don't want -k, I want ubuntu to sort this out correctly, and not use hash files left under /var somewhere to determine which kernels are really installed16:34
ogra_it cant if you dont name your kernel version properly16:35
ogra_thats what -k solves since you can force a new version (including the hash)16:35
RoyKogra_: It should generate the initrd of the running kernel16:35
ogra_not if you created a hash for a newer one16:35
ogra_-u will update the latest16:35
RoyKI didn't create anything16:35
ogra_you said above you installed you home brewed -rc216:36
RoyKI didn't create a hash16:36
RoyKlike you said16:36
RoyKUsing the hash files instead of the actual kernels for guideline doesn't make sense16:36
ogra_tell that to debian :)16:37
ogra_they added the hash "feature"16:37
ogra_while ubuntu invented initramfs-tools, debian took over maintenance for it about 6 years ago ... we mostly just sync16:38

RoyK(but why they chose to put the swap partition on the slowest part of the drive, must be up to them)16:52

patdk-lap40MB/sec is more than enough for swap :)16:53
RoyKspinning rust is about 2x faster on the outer rim, meaning the first sectors16:53
patdk-lapexpecially when you don' tuse it :)16:53
RoyKwell, swap is good, but it should be fast. no reason to use the inner sectors for swap16:53
LargePrimecan i fix that?16:53

jpdsLargePrime: Well, clearly they want their customers to use their provided kernels.17:28
LargePrimeand?17:28
LargePrimejpds17:28
jpdsLargePrime: But then it's crippled in the sense that it lacks a modules.dep file.17:31
jpdsAnd thus can't load any new modules.17:31
LargePrimejpds: I am confused, are you saying "There's not really much you can complain about." or "it's crippled in the sense that it lacks a modules.dep file."?  Or are those not exact opposites?17:36
LargePrimeor near opposites...17:37
jpdsLargePrime: Well, it might be their intention that you can't use other modules.17:38
LargePrimebut that is still 'complainable' right?17:39
