| pmp6nl | Hello, where is the default PostgreSQL database location in Ubuntu 12.04.? Thanks! | 04:46 |
| blkperl | pmp6nl: what do you mean? you mean the datadir? | 04:51 |
| blkperl | run `pg_lsclusters` and grep the config file for datadir | 04:52 |
| pmp6nl | blkperl, are the databases saved in a directory somewhere that I could download them manually or capture them via rsync? | 04:54 |
| blkperl | pmp6nl: you can you use pg_dump to dump them to a file, then rsync them | 05:00 |
| pmp6nl | blkperl, ok so they have to be dumped first. They cant just be grabbed from whereever when the server runs rsycn every so often? | 05:00 |
| blkperl | pmp6nl: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/backup-dump.html | 05:01 |

| lens|work | hi guys - i have multiple virtual hosts in my ubuntu box. is it possible to access them in lan using different ip address for each virtual host, so that i don't have to mess around with my hosts file ? | 07:48 |
| AtuM | lens|work, use bridge so each vm will have its own ip.. are you using nat? | 08:01 |
| AtuM | hello. it looks like my ubuntu server stalls on boot.. it seems to load most services and then doesn't show the logon screen on tty1 | 08:04 |
| AtuM | I've tried to disable a few things on bootup but it doesn't help.. it might be a plymouth issue but I don't know how to troubleshoot this | 08:05 |
| AtuM | the server also won't go to reboot.. I have to break it with sysrq | 08:08 |
| lens|work | AtuM, i'm gonna go with creating a vm for each virtual host | 08:14 |
| AtuM | lens|work, oh.. you're talking about apache virtual hosts? | 08:15 |
| AtuM | lens|work, if you're using apache, then you can have more ips in the box and have virtual hosts definitions set for each of those ips.. i believe it should be quite simple to set up | 08:26 |

| mlasala | I want to install Ubuntu Server 12.04 JeOS as this guide says: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/jeos-and-vmbuilder.html | 09:53 |
| mlasala | but when I press F4 in the installation screen I only see "Normal" option. I can't see the "Minimal installation" | 09:53 |
| mlasala | Anybody knows why it doesn't appear? There is any other way to do this? | 09:53 |
| mlasala | Well, I figured out what happened. Seems the 12.04.01 rev doesn't had this option. The last one 12.04.02 has all the options included. | 10:03 |

| spidernik84 | Hello everyone! I'm looking for a way to safely preseed an LVM encryption password but I can't seem to find a way to pass it hashed. I managed to pass it to the installer via the preseed line "partman-crypto partman-crypto/passphrase password <pass>" but it's in cleartext | 12:28 |
| === wickedpuppy2 is now known as wickedpuppy | ||
| xnox | spidernik84: it must be clear text. there is no secure way to preseed the partman-crypto password. | 12:42 |
| xnox | spidernik84: i recommend changing passwords later or control key distribution in some other way. | 12:43 |
| rbasak | I'm not sure it makes any sense to do that. The installer needs an unhashed passphrase or at least the LUKS header and derived key (or whatever it's called) in order to install. And generally the installer is bootstrapped over TFTP and can be MITMed there. Bug 833994 may be relevant to you though. | 12:43 |

| spidernik84 | thanks :( | 12:43 |
| spidernik84 | So it's basically safer not to preseed them and type them | 12:44 |
| LargePrime | should we be using btrfs ? | 12:44 |
| spidernik84 | how would you deploy encrypted machines on a large scale? | 12:44 |
| rbasak | Use a secured management network | 12:44 |
| spidernik84 | we're talking about 10 machines in our case but it's still good to think in perspective | 12:45 |
| spidernik84 | ok | 12:45 |
| spidernik84 | thanks to all :) | 12:45 |

| GeorgeJ | Hello folks! | 19:59 |
| GeorgeJ | Is 13.04 safe to install on my personal server? Or should I stick to 12.10/10.04? | 20:00 |
| GeorgeJ | 12.04* | 20:00 |
| stgraber | unless you like updating twice a year, stick to 12.04 for servers | 20:00 |
| GeorgeJ | I have no problem with updating. | 20:01 |
| === matsubara-afk is now known as matsubara | ||
| GeorgeJ | I guess what I'm asking is: Is 13.04 stable enough for a personal server? Is there any reason not to sitck with it? Aer users reporting any major flaws? | 20:07 |
| sarnold | GeorgeJ: the release notes have the 'major' flaws listed.. I've been running it on my laptop for a month or six weeks or so.. | 20:08 |
| GeorgeJ | I've been running it on my laptop aswell. There shouldn't really be stability differences between the desktop and server versions I'd guess, since it's the same base. | 20:09 |
| kpettit | anybody know of a Windows 7 client that can backup a windows computer to ssh? I'm trying to find a simple easy to configure tool | 20:30 |
| GeorgeJ | kpettit: Wat? | 20:31 |
| kpettit | Trying to find a simple windows backup program that I can say "Backup these list of folders to SSH/SFTP in this folder..." type of thing | 20:32 |
| ScottK | That's "a bit" off topic. | 20:32 |
| kpettit | I've seen few tools to mount SSH as a windows drive letter and a few commercial tools. But I was trying to find something more simple. | 20:32 |
| kpettit | I'm trying to backup to a ubuntu server. | 20:32 |
| ScottK | That doesn't make Windows backup software on topic. | 20:32 |
| kpettit | Maybe there is a better backup server on Ubuntu that has a good Winodws client | 20:33 |
| ScottK | I can live with that question. | 20:33 |
| * ScottK hasn't run Windows in almost a decade, so no idea though. | 20:33 | |
| kpettit | I just hate all the closed sorce "cloud backup" crap. Just want something to work with my ubuntu server. | 20:34 |
| kpettit | Alot of the ubuntu backup software I've tried has been very cumbersome. | 20:34 |
| sarnold | kpettit: at least one user here recommends bacula regularly, and wikipedia claims windows clients: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacula | 20:34 |
| * kpettit looking at bacula... | 20:34 | |
| kpettit | I've tested it before, but it's been a few years. | 20:34 |
| GeorgeJ | kpettit: You can use WinSCP to transver files over SSH to a SSH box. | 20:39 |
| kpettit | GeorgeJ, yes. I'd love something like that, that was automatic. Something like a rsync script is all I need. Backup seems more server driven from what I'm reading | 20:40 |
| sarnold | kpettit: I think I've used this before http://www.rsync.net/resources/howto/windows_rsync.html | 20:41 |
| kpettit | sarnold, sweet. That looks promising. Thanks | 20:44 |
| GeorgeJ | kpettit: Also, cygwin can provide you with some unix tools, if that's what you're actually looking for. | 20:47 |
| GeorgeJ | But be carefull, I don't think permisions translate well between windows and linux. | 20:48 |
| kpettit | I've thought about that. But it's a bit to big/combersome for simple backup | 20:48 |
| kpettit | fun. | 20:48 |
| GeorgeJ | What kind of backups do you want to do, anyway? | 20:49 |
| GeorgeJ | A one-time backup? Or regular backups? | 20:49 |
| kpettit | regular backups. Mainly trying to keep a copy of documents. Outlook pst files, etc. | 20:49 |
| kpettit | I dont' want to mess with Windows OS backups. Dealing with Windows is such a pain in the but. | 20:50 |
| ssfdre38 | im having some problems with L2TPServer as im following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/L2TPServer and i get http://images.ssfdre38.net/images/FndZ6.png as my errors | 20:50 |
| GeorgeJ | Well, I'm sure there's some kind of incremental backup system for Windows that can upload files via SFTP/FTP. | 20:50 |
| kpettit | GeorgeJ, I'm testing out that rsync windows backup client right now | 20:51 |
| GeorgeJ | Or, you could just run Winblows within a VM, heh. | 20:51 |
| kpettit | I wish. | 20:51 |
| kpettit | I'm used to dealing with servers. This desktop support stuff sucks | 20:52 |
| RoyK | kpettit: bacula works well, it's pita to setup, but once you know the basics it works well | 20:52 |
| xet7 | Another option for backups is http://www.duplicati.com | 20:52 |
| kpettit | RoyK, can the user set what they want to backup, or is that all done on the server end? That's what I was struggeling with looking at it | 20:52 |
| GeorgeJ | kpettit: Well, TBH. I'm still using a Windows box atm, for my desktop. But once my SSD's arive, I'll be ditching Windows for ubuntu full-time. | 20:53 |
| RoyK | no | 20:53 |
| RoyK | bacula is server-side only | 20:53 |
| kpettit | xet7, ohhh that looks nice | 20:53 |
| GeorgeJ | There's just no reason to keep using Windows. It's really slowing me down. | 20:53 |
| GeorgeJ | Ubuntu* heh | 20:53 |
| kpettit | GeorgeJ, I've got both running side by side. I'm kind of forced to for development | 20:54 |
