nicekiwican someone help me restart my server?06:15
sarnoldnicekiwi: normally that's just "sudo shutdown -r now" -- is there something more to it? :)06:16
sarnoldnicekiwi: .. are you worried that e.g. sshd might not come back up and you'll have to drive to a datacenter?06:16
nicekiwiwell, the apache server in particular. It keeps saying "Fail" when i restart it06:17
sarnoldah :)06:17
nicekiwithe error log does not seem to contain useful information06:17
sarnoldnicekiwi: check /var/log/apache* directories... might be something useful there?06:17
nicekiwiunfortunatly not06:17
sarnoldnicekiwi: can you pastebin how you're trying to restart it, what output you get, and any log messages that might be generated at the same time?06:18
nicekiwithe only real error im getting is "[Thu May 16 10:16:11 2013] [error] Server should be SSL-aware but has no certificate configured [Hint: SSLCertificateFile] ((null):0)"06:19
sarnoldaha :) well, it does say 'error' rather than 'warning', might as well assume that's the problem..06:20
sarnoldnicekiwi: do you expect this server to serve SSL/TLS?06:20
nicekiwiyes06:20
sarnoldnicekiwi: do you have a SSLCertificateFile directive somewhere in the configuration?06:20
nicekiwiyes06:21
sarnoldnicekiwi: does ls -l on that filename look right?06:22
sarnoldnicekiwi: also check ls -ld on all directories above the file.. perhaps permissions are incorrect on a directory (it can be easy to overlook these..)06:22
nicekiwiwhat should the permissions be?06:23
nicekiwifor /etc/ssl/certs/06:23
sarnoldnicekiwi: for /etc/ssl/certs, root:root 75506:24
nicekiwii mean everything appears correct06:24

nicekiwisarnold, fixed it! :D See point #3 http://imranbhullar.blogspot.co.nz/2012/07/server-should-be-ssl-aware-but-has-no.html06:37

nicekiwilol.. i just opened heaps of sites and that happend to be the first one :P06:38
nicekiwisarnold, yes you can. thanks for your help :)06:38
sarnoldI wonder how it came that the error message is -so- vastly wrong compared to the cause..06:38
nicekiwiyeah :/ not really sure eh06:39
Davieyrbasak: thanks for kicking off the thread.07:12

mah454Hello07:24
mah454/etc/shadow is sha-512 or sha-256 ?07:25

rbasakmah454: see the crypt(3) manpage, and look up the id in the hash in your shadow file against the table in the manpage. /etc/shadow supports multiple schemes at once.07:31
Davieyrbasak: regarding bug 1180094, zul yesterday planned to discuss it with slangasek.. If we need to switch for support in LTS, it would be better to do this cycle IMO.07:46
uvirtbot`Launchpad bug 1180094 in samba "Update to 4.0" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/118009407:46
rbasakDaviey: oh, OK. I didn't realise it was remotely near the cards.07:46
Davieyrbasak: Would "Wishlist, Incomplete" make more sense?07:47
rbasakDaviey, zul: what's the need to go ahead of Debian here?07:47
Davieyrbasak: Well, zul raised it yesterday - and broadly, *might* make sense?07:47
Davieyrbasak: I agree about desktop needing to be involved.  At base, it would be good for smb4 to get more exposure *IF* it needs to be standard for the next cycle.07:48
DavieyBut then, smb3 might still be ok for LTS.. so i don't know.07:48
rbasakAIUI, samba4 is useful for server people wanting to emulate AD. For this use case, the samba4 packages are available.07:49
rbasakAIUI, samba3 is fine for everyone else, but perhaps I'm mistaken.07:49
rbasakOh. Upstream list 4.x as current stable.07:50
Senorwhat is the relation between ubuntu and debian ?07:51
rbasakSenor: good question! http://askubuntu.com/questions/1336/how-is-ubuntu-different-from-debian has some answers if that helps you.07:53
rbasakSpamapS: ^^ some nostalgia for you perhaps? :)07:53
Senorrbasak:I am trying to implement one game server on linux , which distro is the best ?07:54
rbasakSenor: Ubuntu Server, of course. What a silly question! :)07:54
* rbasak notes that this is the #ubuntu-server channel, so answers here might be a bit biased.07:55
Senoris ubuntu distro open source ?07:56
rbasakSenor: essentially yes, with the exception of restricted and multiverse (like non-free in Debian). See: http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/ubuntu-policy/policy.html/ch-archive.html#s-ulp for details.08:09
RoyKSenor: yes08:21
RoyKSenor: or what rbasak said08:21
Alina-malinaHello all! Is there any mail caching server. For example the office has a very low  internet connection, but the workers sending e-mails so e-mails go very slow and the most of the time workers have to wait for the process rather then typing e-mails. How it is possible to make work with yahoo, gmal and other e-mail services? So the workers submit their e-mails to that server, and server during 5-6 hours login to their accounts an08:59
Alina-malinad send08:59
Alina-malinathose messages?09:00
Alina-malinaanyone?09:05
Alina-malinaDo i need a separate caching computer to chache the stuff there and execute with queue?09:10
caribouDaviey: Hi, just saw your update of the rsyslog SRU being blocked by another inflight SRU (from stokachu)09:19
caribouDaviey: anything that must be done ?09:19
Alina-malinado i need a proxy caching serve?R How it works?09:19
SenorRoyK: I have installed ubuntu 10.4.2 server ,but why no step for password root?09:21
Senorand no root account09:21
RoyKSenor: because root normally don't have a password, login as your own user and run sudo -i09:22
Davieycaribou: Well the other SRU needs verification, that would help unblock it :)09:23
caribouDaviey: ok, I'll coordinate with Adam09:23
Davieycaribou: Thanks muchly09:24
SenorRoyK:That is ok!09:24
SenorRoyK:Is ubuntu server the best for deploying my gameserver?09:24
RoyKany linux distro should work09:25
RoyKup to you09:25
Senorwhich kernel version ubuntu server 10.4.2 is using ?09:26
RoyKSenor: 10.04.4 runs 2.6.32-38-server - you should upgrade to at least 10.04.4 (apt-get dist-upgrade), or perhaps to 12.0409:27
Alina-malinaHello all! Is there any mail caching server. For example the office has a very low  internet connection, but the workers sending e-mails so e-mails go very slow and the most of the time workers have to wait for the process rather then typing e-mails. How it is possible to make work with yahoo, gmal and other e-mail services? So the workers submit their e-mails to that server, and server during 5-6 hours login to their accounts an09:29
Alina-malinad send messages? Or do i need some webcaching proxy server? Are those secure? What is the secure webcaching server if any exist that can handle my request?09:29
DavieyAlina-malina: If the user wants to use gmail, yahoo or other WEB UI - it is not a good idea to interfere.09:30
DavieyAlina-malina: if they are using a local mail client, such as thunderbird or outlook - you can help.09:31
Alina-malinaDaviey, maybe i should put a separate computer and route the traffic to it and that machine queue the requests and send during some hours like?09:31
Davieycaribou: If you can get Adam's verified today - we can get yours in to proposed today09:32
DavieyAlina-malina: right, that is something you can do.  But only smart for IMAP or Pop3 and smtp09:32
caribouDaviey: won't both fixes interfere ? I suppose that my SRU don't have Adam's patch09:33
Alina-malinaDaviey, how i can do that? Is there any manuals? i never did anything like that before, i just have imagination:)09:34
SenorRoyK:  Does debian branch  from ubuntu ?09:37
RoyKSenor: no, it started with debian09:48
SenorRoyK: where can I get the distro's source code ? include login relevent programes .09:56
Davieycaribou: Your update does include Adam09:59
Daviey's, no?09:59
caribouDaviey: lemme check09:59
Davieycaribou: The idea is that Adam's can be released to updates, and yours can then enter proposed.  Currently proposed is blocked with Adam's10:00
DavieyAlina-malina: I'm sorry, I am unable to spend the time helping atm10:00
caribouDaviey: yeah, but if mine doesn't have Adam's patch, there's no point into getting it into proposed. I should rework mine10:00
* caribou goes to check his10:00
rbasakSenor: I suggest you ask in #ubuntu for questions that aren't server-specific. I think there are more people there who will be able to help you.10:01
Davieycaribou: http://pb.daviey.com/zCDO/10:02
Alina-malinaDaviey, what is atm?10:02
DavieyAlina-malina: At The Moment10:02
Senorrbasak:oh,yes10:03
caribouDaviey: yep, the Raring one does. I don't know if Adam's patch applies to Precise but I think it does10:03
Davieycaribou: Ah, i only looked at the Raring candidate so far10:04
caribouDaviey: ah, ok.10:05
RoyKSenor: apt/get source packagename10:07
SenorRoyK:qpt-get source ubuntu?10:07
RoyKSenor: no, linux distros consist of thousands of packages, each for a program or set of programs. those you can apt-get source10:13
Senorhow canI config my source get  mirror   ?10:18

BlueSharkHi,15:59
BlueSharkI'm trying to set up OpenVPN on my Debian VPS. I followed the instructions on http://aahank.com/2013/debian-ubuntu-vpn-server/ . But when I try to do "/etc/init.d/openvpn start", it's giving the error "Starting virtual private network daemon: filmygirl failed!". What could be wrong?15:59

meghado vmware, kvm, qemu works flawlessly with ubuntu ?16:09
meghabecause in arch linux i am fed up of config things after each kernel upgrade.. :(16:10

jacobwNothing works flawlessly16:14
megharbasak: what should be my ideal choice ubuntu server or ubuntu-desktop..16:15
meghajacobw: yeah you are right...16:15
jacobwIt depends what issues you have with Arch that you don't want to have with Ubuntu16:15
meghabut frequent probs is not a good sign...16:15
jacobwWhat's your use case?16:15
meghai am coding for Freebsd, so i need to run it in KVM  and qemu. as i would be testing for different platforms..16:16
meghajacobw: in arch linux a new kernel version in 15 days, and i have to config and install modules again. that's waste of time, when you have limited time left in your hand..16:17
jacobwOK, then you'll want to run a VM on your desktop16:17
rbasakFor coding, I'd use desktop with libvirt and virt-manager. Though virt-manager doesn't anything close to the snapshot UI that VirtualBox has.16:17
jacobwArch is rolling release whereas Ubuntu isn't, the breakages with Arch are a consequence of the rolling release scheme16:18

jdstrandadam_g: I'm trying to get keystone and nova out16:35
adam_gjdstrand, go for it. ill rebase on you, those were just accepted to proposed today16:35
jdstrandadam_g: ok, keystone already has it: 116667016:37
jdstrandso that will only be nova16:37
jdstrandadam_g: you could get ahead of it and just apply https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/a4fc0c800502338e4530cad910efb64a5483e1ea16:38
adam_gjdstrand, you're planning on releasing them as security updates based on whats in -updates currently, right?16:40
jdstrandadam_g: for raring, it is based on 1:2013.1-0ubuntu216:41
jdstrandadam_g: for precise, I based keystone and nova on -proposed and am waiting on the packages to migrate since they are now verification-done16:42
jdstrandadam_g: so I'm suggesting you just apply https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/a4fc0c800502338e4530cad910efb64a5483e1ea to 1:2013.1.1-0ubuntu1 and reupload16:43
adam_gjdstrand, right, we will. but that patch is going to go out as a security update in the meantime based on 1:2013.1-0ubuntu2?16:44
jdstrandadam_g: that was my plan, yes16:45
jdstrandadam_g: so I do my thing, you cherrypick that patch for -proposed and we're both good16:46
adam_gjdstrand, okay. ill rebase on your update when its out, to preserve changelog history and patch references16:46
jdstrandthat'll work too16:46

adam_gjdstrand, k thanks17:22

K4kIs there a way, perhaps through editing isolinux/gfxboot.cfg to remove the language prompt and install/try screen from the install CD?18:45
sarnoldK4k: investigate preseed files18:45
=== blitzkrieg3 is now known as jmleddy
K4ksarnold: That's what I'm working on now, I've created a preseed that automates _everything_ but the language select prompt before I select the preseed boot option for install18:54
K4knone of the locale or language d-i settings seem to affect it, only thing I've found so far is something mentioning hacking up gfxboot.inc but I'm not building this on an ubuntu or debian system so I don't have access to that tool.18:55
mojtabaHi, Does anybody know how can I make a full backup of my server with rsnapshot? (I mean databases, files, emails, ...)19:06
RoyKmojtaba: I don't use rsnapshot, never had, but if it does an rdiff/rsync backup, it should work. but what database(s)?19:08
mojtabaRoyK: mysqls19:09
mojtabaRoyK: The problem with rsync is that I must use sudo19:10
RoyKmysql should be dumped regularly - backing up mysql data files may lead to inconcistency19:10
RoyKso if you dump the mysql dbs and backup the dumps, it shouldn't be much of an issue19:10
RoyKpostgresql is better in most ways (tm)19:11
mojtabaRoyK: Actually I am pretty new to linux and this is my first time I am going to backup in this way.19:11
mojtabaCan you help me to figure it up.19:11
RoyKmojtaba: see mysqldump - dump the mysql databases somewhere and backup the dump files19:12
RoyKas in19:12
RoyKmysqldump --all-databases -uUSER -pPASSWORD > /var/backup/mysql-`date -I`.sql19:13
RoyKor something19:13
RoyKadd that to cron19:13
mojtabawhat does dump do exactly?19:16
mojtabaRoyK:19:16
RoyKmojtaba: it dumps the whole database(s) to SQL code so that it can be recreated easily - try it on a test db19:17
K4kmeh, setting the isolinux.cfg timeout to 1 works well enough. I still get the prompt but it skips it faster than someone can react in order to change it.19:17
mojtabaRoyK: ok, thanks.19:17
Black_Knightroger19:17

resnothats not how i meant it19:20
resnoill justleave it there though19:20
