[01:44] <EDocToor> I am back
[01:44] <EDocToor> he he
[01:54] <nibalizer> hi all
[01:55] <nibalizer> i'm watning to get openssh-lpk
[01:55] <nibalizer> is there a 'more official' ppa with the patches applied?
[01:55] <nibalizer> or... since i guess openssh upstream pulled it in, a really new version?
[02:05] <Patrickdk> nibalizer, I was attempting to use lpk, but I ended up just using a script instead, and using normal ssh
[02:05] <nibalizer> script to prepopulate you mean?
[02:05] <Patrickdk> no
[02:05] <nibalizer> ?
[02:05] <Patrickdk> it reads from the script, instead
[02:05] <nibalizer> how did you get that working?
[02:06] <Patrickdk> by following the directions/manual
[02:07] <nibalizer> okay
[02:07] <Patrickdk> https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/openssh-sssd.html
[04:29] <mop> anybody knows a quick way to get the %cpu usage integer?
 Will samba share files between two a ubuntu-server and a ubuntu box?... it seems that all my ports are closed on the Ubuntu Box... nmap -T4 -A pal.icyourrc.com reports all 1000 ports are closed.. I have temporary enabled DMZ on the router for testing .. Any ideas?
[06:37] <EDocToor> sarnold, are you there?
[06:38] <EDocToor> When configuring /etc/network/interfaces is the gateway and the Broadcast address the same on both computers connected to my router?
[06:39] <EDocToor> I have NO ports open reported by nmap so I assume that I did something wrong with configuring my interfaces file

[08:41] <Kayito> Hey. Does anybody here have experience running a GUI'd virtual machine on top of a ubuntu server?
[08:43] <Kayito> take that a a no...?
[11:25] <streulma> hello what is the difference between Debian and Ubuntu Server ?
[11:25] <streulma> which is the best ?
[11:29] <yeats> streulma: debian and ubuntu are totally different distros with different goals and intents
[11:29] <yeats> functionally they are very similar
[11:29] <yeats> so it's a matter of preference mostly
[11:29] <streulma> yeats: Linux is Linux I think ?
[11:30] <yeats> streulma: you asked, right?
[11:30] <streulma> yeats: I don't know wich linux version to install on the server :)
[11:31] <mardraum> linux is a kernel
[11:31] <mardraum> you are asking about distros
[11:31] <mardraum> try them both, and use the one you like the most.
[12:49] <streulma> why runs my ubuntu servers always out of memory ?
[12:51] <treetreetr33> how much do you have? do you have a /swap as well?
[12:59] <mikeey> I am curious about an entry in my netstat listing, it shows: "tcp6       0      0 ip6-localhost:6010      [::]:*                  LISTEN      18524/2" and I am curious about what this process is?
[14:17] <mortrca> Anyone here know anything about setting up Kerberos?
[14:19] <mortrca> All of the tutorials I have found talk about multiple servers in the configuration. I would like to know if it can be done with one server and how that affects security.
[14:31] <ThothCastel> I am trying to check my dns caching server by using the dig command
[14:36] <ThothCastel> I'm trying this https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/dns-troubleshooting.html#dns-testing-dig but I see no difference in the output between the first and the second dig commands
[14:36] <ThothCastel> how to check if dns caching server is working properly
[14:36] <ThothCastel> ?
[14:37] <patdk-lap> the ttl goes down :)
[14:51] <ThothCastel> in my case it's not going :S
[15:19] <EDocToor> OMG I was trying to install-configure-learn samba... and when I typed a couple commands ... sambas' error msg: Your to stupid for a computer, pack your computer up, put it back in the box, and bring it back to the computer store...
[15:21] <patdk-lap> sounds good
[15:21] <shauno> I'd call that a bug, should be "you're"
[15:23] <EDocToor> Goodmorning... Thanks for all your help guys... your awesome.. and I couldn't do it without you... your support is very much appreciated!!!
[15:50] <shadej> hello guyes
[15:51] <shadej> guys
[15:51] <shadej> am using apche2 server
[15:51] <shadej> when i load ssl module
[15:51] <shadej> httpd is stopping
[15:51] <shadej> why is this happenning?
[15:53] <ThothCastel> why is my dns caching not working?
[15:56] <ThothCastel> I have my named.conf.options file with forwarders { 8.8.8.8; 8.8.4.4; 64.81.79.2; 66.80.130.23; 64.81.79.2; 216.231.41.2 };      what is wrong with it?
[15:56] <patdk-lap> why do people ask questions without any reference materials? logs? anything
[16:03] <EDocToor> patdk-lap, I is because you guys are masters, geniuses, and we are too dumb to dress ourselves; and when we do provide a whole bunch of information at the start it sometimes confuses what the real question is.. trust me we really are trying to be better at pleading for scraps of your genius.
[16:07] <patdk-lap> EDocToor, you didn't provide a single bit of info at all
[16:07] <patdk-lap> you made a scarcastic comment, and nothing more
[16:07] <patdk-lap> we can't help if we don't even know if you have an issue
[16:07] <EDocToor> not at all... I am trying to be friendly
[16:07] <patdk-lap> "OMG I was trying to install-configure-learn samba... and when I typed a couple commands ... sambas' error msg: Your to stupid for a computer, pack your computer up, put it back in the box, and bring it back to the computer store..."
[16:07] <patdk-lap> that was friendly?
[16:08] <patdk-lap> cause oviously, sambas' never said that
[16:08] <EDocToor> of course... it was humor...
[16:08] <EDocToor> an ice breaker so to speak
[16:08] <patdk-lap> !ask
[16:09] <patdk-lap> if you can't follow that simple statement, well
[16:09] <patdk-lap> this channel isn't for humor, there are other channels for that
[16:10] <EDocToor> patdk-lap, you have a good eye... thanks your awesome
[16:16] <mortrca> All of the tutorials I have found for setting up Kerberos talk about multiple servers in the configuration. Can anyone tell me if it can be done with one server and how that affects security?
[16:19] <patdk-lap> is there any point in using kerbers for a single server?
[16:20] <patdk-lap> the gains to using kerberos is mainly from having a centeral point of authentication, and using 1 server, you can already trust yourself
[16:23] <qman__> I suppose if you plan on adding more servers later
[16:23] <qman__> but there's nothing stopping you from running it on one server
[16:28] <mortrca> patdk-lap and qman__, thanks for your input.
[17:57] <guma> I was wondering if I am on 12.04 LTS and do distro upgrade. Will this move me to latest 13.04? Or just upgrades 12.04 to latest kernel updated beside packages?
[17:59] <qman__> apt-get upgrade will only upgrade packages you already have installed; dist-upgrade will upgrade packages and add/remove additional packages to complete the upgrade; do-release-upgrade will upgrade to a newer ubuntu release version
[18:13] <guma> qman__: Thank you :)
[18:35] <No_one_at_all> Hi, anybody home?
[18:35] <No_one_at_all> I am a complete idiot, and I've got a problem with a remote Ubuntu server which won't reboot
[18:36] <No_one_at_all> Yesterday, some packages needed upgrading, so I did that, and then the MOTD when I re-logged in told me I needed to reboot the system.
[18:36] <No_one_at_all> So I typed "reboot"
[18:36] <No_one_at_all> And now the system isn't starting sshd or apache2. Any ideas?
[18:37] <patdk-lap> are you sure you didn't do something like, reboot now?
[18:37] <No_one_at_all> Yeah.
[18:37] <patdk-lap> cause that won't reboot it, but will put it into single user mode
[18:37] <No_one_at_all> Haw haw. I saw that.
[18:38] <No_one_at_all> And supposing I had (although I know I didn't), how would one recover from that? I can do a netboot to a recovery image, but ..."reboot" doesn't seem to do anything...
[18:39] <No_one_at_all> Like I said, I'm fairly certain I only typed "reboot". Wouldn't stake my life on it, but... y'know.
[18:39] <patdk-lap> heh?
[18:39] <patdk-lap> if you did that, it would need a powercycle, or someone local to reboot it
[18:39] <No_one_at_all> I've got a remote hard-reboot, and tried that, but no dice
[18:40] <patdk-lap> somethin else then
[18:40] <No_one_at_all> Hmm.
[18:40] <No_one_at_all> Any ideas?
[18:40] <No_one_at_all> I'm stumped.
[18:43] <No_one_at_all> How does one tell the server what runlevel to use on boot?
[18:44] <No_one_at_all> I suspect this thing *is* going into single-user mode...
[19:29] <qman__> ubuntu doesn't really have runlevels per se, upstart works different
[19:30] <qman__> there's just single user "recovery mode" and normal
[19:30] <No_one_at_all> huh.
[19:30] <qman__> and that is determined by the options passed at boot time
[19:30] <No_one_at_all> qman__: by lilo or grub or whatever?
[19:30] <qman__> yes
[19:31] <No_one_at_all> well... I can't figure why on earth it's booting into single-user mode
[19:31] <qman__> it's more likely getting stuck with a boot condition
[19:31] <qman__> such as asking you a question about a broken filesystem
[19:31] <No_one_at_all> oh dear.
[19:31] <qman__> if you can boot something else, do it and run fsck on all the filesystems
[19:31] <No_one_at_all> Ok.
[19:32] <qman__> grub might also have been broken somehow
[19:32] <qman__> was grub one of the updates?
[19:32] <No_one_at_all> Nope.
[19:32] <No_one_at_all> dbus, and php-something
[19:32] <No_one_at_all> some php-related upgrades
[19:32] <qman__> no kernel update either?
[19:33] <No_one_at_all> nope.
[19:33] <qman__> ok
[19:33] <No_one_at_all> It's got a raid setup... do I have to do anything special for that?
[19:33] <qman__> you will have to assemble it in your alternate environment
[19:33] <No_one_at_all> I mean, mdadm is detecting and assembling the raid perfectly fine...
[19:33] <qman__> if it's mdraid that will be trivial
[19:34] <qman__> ok, so it did it for you
[19:34] <No_one_at_all> (in netboot)
[19:34] <qman__> that's all that's needed
[19:34] <No_one_at_all> ok, so I should run fsck
[19:35] <qman__> yes
[19:35] <qman__> the system could also be not assembling the array, but if the kernel didn't change, and the mdadm.conf didn't change, that's pretty unlikely
[19:35] <No_one_at_all> Okee dokee then.
[19:35] <No_one_at_all>  Here goes fsck.
[19:36] <No_one_at_all> Oh, I did poke around through the logs, and found the boot.log file...
[19:37] <No_one_at_all> ...in which it gives an error about starting the IPMI module(s)...
[19:37] <qman__> that shouldn't halt the boot process though
[19:37] <No_one_at_all> That's the last line, though
[19:37] <No_one_at_all> or, wait... was it
[19:39] <No_one_at_all> no, it wasn't, " * Stopping System V runlevel compatibility                              [ OK ]
[19:39] <No_one_at_all> " was the next-to-last line, and then there's just "Starting"
[19:41] <qman__> maybe that boot log was prior to this event?
[19:41] <qman__> keep in mind it can only write to the boot.log if it can write to the filesystem
[19:41] <qman__> so if the problem occurs before that, there won't be one
[19:41] <No_one_at_all> Hmm. Yeah, you're probably right.
[19:42] <No_one_at_all> Ok, fsck.
[20:19] <TheLordOfTime> using rsync if i want to update the destination directory but not update the directory i'm rsyncing from (i.e. rsync /path/to/dir/1/ /path/to/dir/2/) , what arguments do I need to use?
[20:20] <No_one_at_all> Alright, quick question...
[20:20] <patdk-lap> thejoecarroll, depends on how you want to sync it
[20:20] <No_one_at_all> fsck on raid: what's the best command.
[20:20] <patdk-lap> -a normally?
[20:20] <No_one_at_all> (raid 1)
[20:20] <patdk-lap> fsck on raid?
[20:20] <patdk-lap> you don't fsck raid
[20:21]  * No_one_at_all facepalm
[20:21] <No_one_at_all> Use mdadm?
[20:21] <patdk-lap> you fsck filesystems
[20:21] <patdk-lap> you can scrub a raid
[20:21] <No_one_at_all> well, ok, it's an ext3 filesystem on a raid-1
[20:21] <No_one_at_all> sorry.
[20:22] <patdk-lap> you do scrub/consistancy checks on raids
[20:22] <No_one_at_all> Wow am I in over my head.
[22:41] <No_one_at_all> qman__: you home?
[22:42] <No_one_at_all> qman__: well, I hope you read this in your scrollback: thanks for the advice on the server-startup issue; it was, indeed, fsck needing to be run on one of the partitions. Problem solved.
[22:42] <No_one_at_all> qman__: I'd send you money, but I don't know where you live. :D
