[00:11] <subman> I've just installed samba and get now use it from another computer and look at the contents of a directory, but that user cannot write to that directory.  should that user be added to the group 'sambashare'?
[00:14] <subman> In the end, I wanted to create a 'shared directory' on my server where everyone on my local network can exchange files there.
[00:26] <qman__> subman, you need to set the file permissions such that the user in question has write access
[00:27] <subman> The user or the group
[00:27] <qman__> you can set up a group to own the files and add that user to the group, or just make that user own the files, but they need filesystem-level write access
[00:27] <subman> qman__, I have added the user to the 'sambashare' group and then changed the owner of the directory to that group
[00:28] <qman__> subman, you also need to grant group write permission
[00:28] <qman__> chmod -R g+w /path/to/your/share
[00:28] <qman__> if it still doesn't work, you may have the share set to read-only in samba
[00:28] <qman__> and will need to change it
[00:28] <subman> permissions there now:  drwxr-xr-x
[00:29] <qman__> that permission will prevent writing by members of the group

[13:09] <GeorgeJ> Hello folks!
[13:11] <GeorgeJ> I want to create an ubuntu server image for a VM. What's the recommended way of cleaning up the instalation before creatig the image? Also, I need to run dpkg-reonfigure openssh-server, to regenerate the ssh keys. What's a nice way of doing this?
[13:11] <GeorgeJ> I basically just want to prepare an instalation for cloning.
[13:20] <sarig> hey one all, remote tired .. have an issue, need a sounding board pls
[13:20] <sarig> ubunto server 12. two disks, /dev/sda /dev/sdb, sda is the root primary, sdb is a store drive. sdb was mounted on /srv/share. Just recovered from a power outage, reboot the server and now /srv/share contains the root file system ??? so if i mv /srv/share/bin/grep to /srv/share/bin/bugger and do an ls on /bin/ I see bugger and no grep ... very confusing .. any thoughts ?
[13:21]  * sarig labels ??

[14:34] <diegonat> hi all.... I have got a problem with MAAS but I m not sure how to troubleshoot it. Basically, I set up a MAAS environment and I added one node. However, now I cannot add any other nodes. If you I power up a machine (virtual), it does boot but it doesnt come out in the web control panel. Any idea??
[14:53] <Lequtix> morning
[14:57] <Lequtix> anyone alive in here?
[14:58]  * sarig sorted Phew ... blkid nailed the drives by uuid
[14:58] <sarig> yep

[15:00] <sarig> fed up with alienvault it's got a tad bloated
[15:00] <Lequtix> :D
[15:01] <Lequtix> i've never see that because i don't have use for it
[15:01] <Lequtix> i only have 1 or 2 servers
[15:01] <sarig> dude i use anything ;-0
[15:02] <sarig> have dual pII's still running
[15:02] <Lequtix> NICE!
[15:02] <Lequtix> :D
[15:02] <sarig> just built a monster as well on the cheap (well big enough for me)
[15:02] <Lequtix> like a 56 corvette
[15:02] <sarig> so ebay
[15:02] <sarig> hp zw9400
[15:02] <sarig> 2 x quad core amd = £36
[15:03] <Lequtix> thats a good price
[15:03] <sarig> 32gb ram = $52
[15:03] <sarig> the hp was £52
[15:03] <Lequtix> you gonna make a ProxMox server out of it?
[15:03] <sarig> so approx £120 pounds for 2 x quad core, 32Gb ram
[15:03] <sarig> currently running xen
[15:03] <Lequtix> http://pve.proxmox.com
[15:04] <Lequtix> i like proxmox cus it's kvm/openvz and has a web interface.. you don't need windows to manage it
[15:04] <diegonat> hi all.... I have got a problem with MAAS but I m not sure how to troubleshoot it. Basically, I set up a MAAS environment and I added one node. However, now I cannot add any other nodes. If you I power up a machine (virtual), it does boot but it doesnt come out in the web control panel. Any idea??
[15:04] <sarig> going to get a couple of icybox's and drop in 8 x drives,
[15:04] <Lequtix> i'm sorry diegonat i've never setup the private cloud stuff
[15:05] <sarig> i stick to openstack personaly buddy
[15:07] <diegonat> I think it is something to do with the dns server but im not sure...
[15:07]  * sarig suddenly interested in MAAS
[15:07]  * sarig <-- research
[15:09] <diegonat> sarig, thank u
[15:09] <Lequtix> so maas takes care of all the sync?
[15:09] <Lequtix> and the clustering?
[15:09] <diegonat> it takes care of the provision of new machines
[15:10] <Lequtix> this is one subject i haven't really explored
[15:10] <sarig> yes
[15:10] <sarig> all in one
[15:11] <sarig> horizontal and vertical scaling
[15:11] <sarig> just checking viable cross os support
[15:11]  * sarig still loves razor and puppet
[15:11] <Lequtix> so your problem is your instances don't show up in the control panel, but the node works fine?
[15:12] <sarig> this though is a pure "ubunto" controlling stack
[15:12] <Lequtix> yea when u install ubuntu server you have the option to install maas
[15:12] <Lequtix> i've never tried it.. don't have 3 pc's
[15:13] <Lequtix> diegonat.. did you set the fqdn's on the nodes and controller?  and add dns entries for them in either bind or in  /etc/hosts
[15:13] <Lequtix> just so everything can find everything else
[15:14] <diegonat> shouldnt maas take care of everything??
[15:14] <Lequtix> well it would be good to double check
[15:14] <Lequtix> ping the FQDN for each part of your network on all the pc's
[15:14] <Lequtix> make sure they can all resolve each other
[15:14] <Lequtix> go on machine a... ping machine b and c
[15:15] <Lequtix> then ping machine c and a from machine b.  etc
[15:15] <Lequtix> use FQDN
[15:15] <diegonat> cannot ping any of them
[15:15] <Lequtix> ok..  just make /etc/hosts entries for all machines
[15:15] <Lequtix> on all machines
[15:15] <Lequtix> see if that helps
[15:16] <Lequtix> it will at least take DNS out of the equasion as a problem
[15:17] <Lequtix> 192.168.1.10 machine1.domain.local machine1
[15:17] <Lequtix> thats the format
[15:17] <Lequtix> put fqdn first.. single name next
[15:17] <Lequtix> once done.. reboot them all
[15:18] <diegonat> ok im trying
[15:18] <Lequtix> if it doesn't fix anything at least we've eliminated DNS as the problem

[15:30] <Hammerhead2011-S> Hi all, persistent routes are killing me in 13.04!
[15:30] <Hammerhead2011-S> post-up /bin/route add -net 192.168.0.0/16 gw 192.168.253.2 dev eth1
[15:30] <Hammerhead2011-S> looks good right?
[15:31] <Hammerhead2011-S> I can not get it to stick. I CAN put it in after boot but, that sucks.
[15:31] <Hammerhead2011-S> any help would be greatly appreciated.
[15:32] <Lequtix> you have to put it in /etc/network/interfaces
[15:32] <Lequtix> one sec
[15:33] <Hammerhead2011-S> haha I know that :-)
[15:33] <Hammerhead2011-S> That is a snip from the interfaces file
[15:33] <Lequtix> i'm just looking for the syntax
[15:34] <Lequtix> ipost-up /etc/network/scripts/iproute2
[15:34] <Hammerhead2011-S> ipost?
[15:34] <Lequtix> so at the end of your /etc/init/network/interfaces
[15:34] <Lequtix> put post-up <command>
[15:35] <Lequtix> sorry the i is not supposed to be in there
[15:35] <Lequtix> so after all the networking is processed you can execute a command or script
[15:35] <Lequtix> in your case, adding a static route
[15:36] <Lequtix> do you have two gateways?
[15:36] <Hammerhead2011-S> are you thinking about /etc/network/interfaces?
[15:36] <Lequtix> yes
[15:36] <Hammerhead2011-S> :-)
[15:37] <Lequtix> the past line in /etc/network/interfaces should be post-up <command>
[15:37] <Hammerhead2011-S> no just one gw. but multiple interfaces on different subnets
[15:37] <ScottK> zul: Yes.
[15:37] <Hammerhead2011-S> well one defgw....sorry
[15:37] <Hammerhead2011-S> and that command that I posted is in the /etc/network/interfaces file
[15:40] <Lequtix> up route add [-net|-host] <host/net>/<mask> gw <host/IP> dev <Interface>
[15:40] <Lequtix> try that then
[15:40] <Lequtix> drop the POST
[15:41] <Lequtix> up route add -net 172.20.11.0/16 gw 172.20.10.254 dev eth1
[15:41] <Lequtix> exmple

[15:43] <ScottK> zul: Thanks.
[15:43] <ScottK> Would someone from the server team express an opinion on Bug #1218817?
[15:44] <Lequtix> hey hammerhead..  if you just have interfaces connected to subnets.. but there's nothing beyond that subnet..  you shouldn't need static routes
[15:44] <Lequtix> if you do, then you need to use iproute2 and setup for multiple gateways..
[15:44] <Lequtix> i have a howto somewhere
[15:45] <Lequtix> http://kindlund.wordpress.com/2007/11/19/configuring-multiple-default-routes-in-linux/
[15:45] <Hammerhead2011-S> There are multiple nets on the other side of these interfaces.
[15:45] <Lequtix> ok check out that howto
[15:45] <Lequtix> linux doesn't do multiple gateways out of the box
[15:45] <Hammerhead2011-S> I wonder why I can add them on the commandline but not via the script
[15:46] <Hammerhead2011-S> if I do a #> ip route add 192.168.0.0/16 via 192.168.253.2 dev eth1
[15:46] <Hammerhead2011-S> everything works fine
[15:46] <Hammerhead2011-S> Don't need multiple GW's just the ability to statically route traffic
[15:47] <Lequtix> k.
[15:47] <Hammerhead2011-S> weird....so weired.
[15:47] <Lequtix> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-add-permanent-static-routes-in-ubuntu.html
[15:48] <Lequtix> this is where i got the info for u
[15:48] <Lequtix> maybe you have a syntax error or something
[15:48] <Lequtix> i know the ip statement has to be AFTER all the interfaces are up
[15:48] <Lequtix> so put it at the bottom of the file
