| sarnold | gartral: the first one will go a long way if your processes all need consistent accesses but don't have a common primary group in common | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | gartral: but if one user has umask=0077, it won't help :) | 00:00 |
| gartral | sarnold: my issue is that I have a folder /home/minecraft/plugins and I can read/write to *THAT* folder, but when I add a plugin too the server that plugin makes a new subdirectory there in which I only have read access.. meaning I have to contact the Server Owner to have her fix the perms each time I add a new plugin >.< | 00:02 |
| gartral | we both agree that this is becoming a PiTA. | 00:03 |
| gartral | and I'm in the minecraft group on that machine | 00:03 |
| sarnold | gartral: how are the plugins run? does the minecraft server start them? | 00:04 |
| gartral | sarnold: yes, on load | 00:04 |
| sarnold | gartral: is the directory created at load time? or during an install mechnaism? | 00:05 |
| zul | adam_g: ill have a look | 00:05 |
| gartral | which means that stop/starting the minecraft server process loads the plugins in /home/minecraft/plugins, most plugins as part of their initial load create a new subdir containing all of the configureation information for the plugin | 00:06 |
| gartral | and I'm sick today, so if my spelling is a little screwy, i apologize | 00:06 |
| gartral | dangit, i have a fix for GarretKajmowicz | 00:09 |
| sarnold | oh? | 00:09 |
| gartral | sarnold: yea, bootchart. it'll profile the boot proccess and let him see where the boot failed | 00:10 |
| sarnold | gartral: it might be hard without a rw filesystem.. | 00:10 |

| sarnold | gartral: I'm surprised the plugins would execute as your user, rather than a minecraft user.. | 00:13 |
| sarnold | ah, here we are, his failed boot dmesg: http://pastebin.ca/2455008 | 00:14 |
| sarnold | gartral: is there a dedicated minecraft user account? is that user acccount starting the minecraft server? | 00:15 |
| gartral | sarnold: yes and yes | 00:16 |
| sarnold | gartral: hrm. well, you can try the setgid thing easily enough, 'chmod g+s /path/to/directory/' -- I'm not sure why it doesn't Just Work, but I'm not familiar enough with minecraft to know what to look for. | 00:21 |
| gartral | sarnold: it's not a minecraft specific issue, this happens with all folders in that directory no matter what made them | 00:22 |
| sarnold | gartral: can you get an ls -ld /home /home/minecraft /home/minecraft/plugins output? I'm curious about user/group/permissions.. | 00:26 |
| gartral | ls: cannot access /home/minecraft/plugins: No such file or directory | 00:31 |

| sarnold | no /home/minecraft/plugins ? how odd.. | 00:33 |
| gartral | sarnold: sorry, stand by | 00:43 |
| gartral | sarnold: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6130558/ | 00:44 |
| sarnold | gartral: looks sane enough... you might try: chmod g+s /home/minecraft/unl-testing/ /home/minecraft/unl-testing/plugins/ | 00:46 |
| sarnold | that'll set both those directories to force new directories and files created within to have 'minecraft' group ownership. it's a start. :) | 00:47 |
| gartral | sarnold: should that be run as root or my user? | 00:58 |
| sarnold | gartral: it could either be run as the minecraft user or as root | 00:58 |
| gartral | sarnold: that still doesn't fix my access | 01:00 |
| sarnold | gartral: hrm, ls -ld on the newly created directories and maybe ps auxw | grep minecraft ... or whatever the server runs as.. | 01:01 |
| gartral | sarnold: does that chmod a+s fix already created directories? | 01:01 |
| sarnold | gartral: no, just new directories and files | 01:02 |
| sarnold | gartral: do you have any currently-existing 'broken' directories? | 01:02 |
| sarnold | ls -ld on them would be helpful too.. | 01:02 |
| gartral | sarnold: yes, about 12 | 01:02 |
| gartral | sarnold: yea, they just "fixed" it by chmod 775 /home/minecraft/unl-testing | 01:03 |
| gartral | sarnold: well, nvm then | 01:04 |
| GarrettKajmowicz | I'm back, now with a dedicated IRC client. | 01:11 |
| gartral | GarrettKajmowicz: so your server isn't mounting / at all? | 01:26 |
| sarnold | GarrettKajmowicz: gartral suggested trying bootchart, there may be a mechanism it provides to discover how far through boot you get before you're hung up, and it might provide some way to get the data off the system .. | 01:38 |

| foubarre | Hi everyone. I have an ubuntu server acting as a DHCP server. I changed the gateway address. Now machines randomly receive the old or new gateway. DHCP config only contains the new address (dhcp service was restarted many times just in case). Any idea of why that can happen? | 07:55 |
| linocisco | foubarre, restarted on server? let clients PC restart | 08:00 |
| foubarre | linocisco: restarted the server, restarted client machines too. Does that since yesterday. | 08:01 |
| foubarre | linocisco: on the PCs, doing "ipconfig /renew" returns a mix of old and new gateway. Does the same on OSX so i excluded a local caching problem. | 08:02 |
| elnur | Hey. I'm trying to figure out why nginx and PostgreSQL don't start on system boot. Where do I start? | 08:03 |
| elnur | Other stuff like PHP-FPM *do* start. | 08:03 |
| Rory | elnur: Do they start correctly without errors when you start them manually? | 08:30 |
| Rory | elnur: If so, make a service start at startup with: sudo update-rc.d SERVICENAME defaults | 08:31 |
| elnur | Rory, yes. | 08:33 |
| elnur | Let me try that. | 08:33 |
| elnur | Rory, it says: System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/nginx already exist. | 08:34 |
| elnur | What else should I try? | 08:40 |

| elnur | @reboot service postgresql start | 09:56 |
| elnur | EOF | 09:56 |
| elnur | But it doesn't work. | 09:56 |
| elnur | What I want is to append those two lines to the output of running `crontab -l` and then pipe it to `crontab -` | 09:56 |
| elnur | How should I do that? | 09:56 |
| sgran | elnur: don't do it that way | 10:01 |
| elnur | How should I do it then? | 10:02 |
| sgran | first, since you know the two lines you want to add, just do crontab -e :) | 10:02 |
| sgran | second, fixing why they don't come up at start up is probably the saner approach | 10:02 |

| elnur | sgran, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6131972/ | 10:06 |
| elnur | The script works when I run it manually. | 10:07 |
| elnur | Just doesn't work on boot. | 10:07 |
| sgran | is there anything in the logs? | 10:07 |
| elnur | Nothing in syslog about nginx and nothing in nginx's error.log. | 10:08 |
| sgran | anything in upstart's log? | 10:08 |
| elnur | Let me check. | 10:08 |
| elnur | Which file? | 10:09 |
| sgran | hmm. I see upstart only logs jobs, rather than overall status | 10:12 |

| elnur | (crontab -l; echo "@reboot service postgresql start") | crontab - | 10:14 |

| elnur | Of course, I'd like to fix the root issue. | 10:15 |
| elnur | I'm just not that good with advanced linux stuff. | 10:15 |
| sgran | do you see anything in boot.log ? | 10:15 |
| elnur | I'm recreating the VM. Will tell you in a couple of minutes. | 10:16 |
| elnur | Vagrant. | 10:16 |
| elnur | BTW, can Vagrant/VirtualBox be the reason? | 10:17 |
| sgran | I'm guessing at this point that they're failing to start because of some network or other related configuration that isn't there when they start at boot time, but are there later when you run the script by hand | 10:18 |
| sgran | so, maybe? | 10:18 |
| elnur | Would I be able to find this information in any log file? | 10:18 |
| elnur | I'll check boot.log soon. | 10:18 |
| elnur | BTW, PHP-FPM starts okay. | 10:19 |
| elnur | It's nginx and PostgreSQL failing for some reason. | 10:19 |
| elnur | The VM is up. | 10:25 |
| elnur | Where's the boot.log file? | 10:26 |
| sgran | in /var/log | 10:26 |
| elnur | Nope. | 10:26 |
| elnur | `locate boot.log` gives nothing. | 10:26 |
| elnur | Any other ideas? :) | 10:29 |
| sgran | hmm | 10:31 |
| sgran | I see a /var/log/boot and a /var/log/boot.log on precise, here | 10:31 |
| sgran | does vagrant give you a console log from bootup? | 10:31 |
| elnur | Let me see. | 10:33 |
| elnur | Hmm. | 10:35 |
| elnur | I'm looking at `vagrant up` logs and it looks like it's adding network interfaces after the machine boot up. | 10:35 |
| elnur | [default] Machine booted and ready! | 10:36 |
| elnur | [default] Configuring and enabling network interfaces... | 10:36 |

| th299792458 | Hi guys! I'm new to linux. I would like to run ubuntu server on a machine that I would also like to use as a media center. What do you guys think is the best way to do so? | 20:26 |
| th299792458 | Ubuntu server with a gui would be somewhat weird, right? But a media center without a gui is also somewhat weird | 20:27 |
| ikonia | th299792458: why do you need ubuntu server for this ? | 20:27 |
| ikonia | th299792458: why not use the desktop CD for this ? it comes with a gui | 20:28 |
| th299792458 | Yes but I would also like to run ubuntu server to host a site for example | 20:28 |
| Pici | Also, you need to define 'Media Center' many media centers have a gui. | 20:28 |
| ikonia | th299792458: you can do that on the desktop install | 20:29 |
| ikonia | th299792458: it has the same access to packages, such as apache web server | 20:29 |

| arthur789 | ikonia: from reading that my router has no NAT or loopback service. i thought the next step was the hosts file. | 21:13 |

| arthur789 | ikonia: i will stop messing with the hosts file then. | 21:21 |
| arthur789 | ikonia: in the past, when things where set up correctly i could get to my server through the buffet.dlinkddns.com while connected to the wifi router | 21:23 |
| arthur789 | ikonia: things went bad and now im trying to re-set-up and this is being a headache | 21:23 |
| arthur789 | ikonia: this is what i have been googling, mainly 'ddns not working inside network' | 21:27 |
| ikonia | arthur789: it's totally possible, but it's awkward to use an external dns service to resolve internal addresses | 21:32 |
| ikonia | arthur789: as you're advertising private addresses that are probably going to be dynamically allocated from a private source (your internal router) to a public service | 21:32 |
| arthur789 | ikonia: well, i dunno what i did in the past, but i could do what i am speaking of. editing the hostfile seems familiar... even though you say it has no effect.... | 21:34 |

| arthur789 | hi all. in the past i have been able to access a single machine behind a wifi router no matter if i was away from the LAN at a friends or at home, on the LAN by using my dynamic dns. the computer went south and i am on a fresh install of server 12.04. for some reason i cannot get this going again. ikonia tried to help, but im sure i edited the /etc/hosts file in the past. either way im pretty sure i need to edit a file because my rout | 23:02 |
| hamnstar | arthur789: you likely need to poke a hole in your routers built-in firewall. Any previous rules might have been associated to a past (DHCP?) IP of the previous install | 23:21 |
| arthur789 | hamnstar: thanks for the response, this is a new router too. there is no firewall setup on the routers config page. | 23:37 |
| hamnstar | arthur789, any port forwarding settings? | 23:38 |
| hamnstar | on the router | 23:38 |
| arthur789 | hamnstar: yes, three. all can be seen on canyouseeme. all can be accessed via say cell phone on 4g. but once im home and on wifi i must use the local ip | 23:40 |
| hamnstar | ohhh yeah routers dont like routing "out" and back "in" | 23:41 |
| hamnstar | iirc | 23:41 |
| hamnstar | you could use a hosts file on your LAN devices to get around that? is that what you had going on before? | 23:41 |
| arthur789 | im pretty sure. when i came in here before asking about esiting it someone else didnt think that was correct. im not sure how to config the /etc/hosts file. | 23:46 |
| * gholms does exactly that "out and back in" routing all the time, is now confused | 23:49 | |
| arthur789 | i think the hosts file needs work, from the googling i did | 23:49 |
| hamnstar | gholms: looks like i dont recall correctly then... i think some routers might prevent routing a LAN address to wAN and back into LAN to prevent cyclic routing?? | 23:51 |
| arthur789 | gholms: i think its cause my router isnt advanced enough? missing some technology. | 23:51 |
| hamnstar | arthur789, /etc/hosts would statically map the dynamic dns name to a LAN ip... so as soon as you're off your lan, you would lose ability to contact again | 23:52 |
| arthur789 | when i google dyndns not working inside network i get most results refering to hosts file, im just too noob to know what to put | 23:52 |
| hamnstar | but would work in the home :P | 23:52 |
| hamnstar | yeah from some googling it looks like some routers do not handle "out and back in" aka "loopback NAT" | 23:54 |
| arthur789 | i have connectbot on my phone. previously, i could ude the same preset no matter where i was or what network i was on. thats my end goal | 23:54 |
| gholms | hamnstar: Could be. What I end up with is traffic going to the public IP on the router regardless of which interface it's coming from and getting forwarded to the appropriate box. | 23:54 |
| gholms | But maybe the router needs some sort of magic to make that work or something. | 23:55 |
| arthur789 | hamnstar: correct, and from my understanding that means the hosts file needs edit | 23:55 |
| arthur789 | gholms: got any extra magic laying around? | 23:55 |
| gholms | arthur789: Not if you need something that'll work on linux. :( | 23:55 |
| hamnstar | arthur789: a more elegant solution would be to set up a dns on your local lan.... quite a bit more involved | 23:56 |
| arthur789 | hamnstar: well, i can barley handle the easy stuff. but im up for it. | 23:56 |
| hamnstar | arthur789, using the hosts file will always resolve the name of the server to the same ip.... which is not what you want, as you need a local lan address when on your lan, and your routers publicly routable ip when off your home network | 23:57 |
| jrwren | what? no mdns love? | 23:58 |
| gholms | Heh | 23:58 |
| hamnstar | I can't help you too much in setting up a DNS server... but, what you can basically do is set your primary DNS to a local dns server (managed by you) and secondary DNS to your ISP/preferred DNS server | 23:58 |
| arthur789 | wow. i cant belive i ever had it working | 23:58 |
| hamnstar | I'm gonna guess your old router handled the "loopback NAT" stuff that some routers do not | 23:59 |
| arthur789 | well, i thought i upgraded. guess i need to get my old one back | 23:59 |
