| wagonboi | what's the lightest (RAM wise) way to add a GUI to Ubuntu server? I want to VNC into it and use Firefox | 01:32 |
|---|---|---|
| jkitchen | wagonboi: evilwm and your vnc server of choice | 01:32 |
| wagonboi | would it be possible to set up a proxy on the server and just use a local install of Firefox? That way I can keep the server light | 01:34 |
| wagonboi | if I use a VPN, iirc all traffic from my computer will use the server's IP... but I need one window of Firefox to have my regular IP, and the other to use my server's IP | 01:35 |
| MavKen | is it possible to create a script to run after clean os install? i'd like to make a script of all my apt-get installs along with mysql root password and automatically say yes to all prompts | 01:38 |
| qman__ | wagonboi, you can use X11 forwarding over SSH | 01:40 |
| qman__ | and not actually run an X session on the server | 01:40 |
| wagonboi | qman__, even if I'm running Windows locally? | 01:41 |
| qman__ | there are ways to do that on windows, but you didn't mention that | 01:42 |
| qman__ | if your purpose suits it, you could use w3m instead of firefox | 01:43 |
| qman__ | or if you want to script something, use curl or wget | 01:44 |
| qman__ | an http proxy is also suitable | 01:44 |
| wagonboi | yes, just an HTTP proxy. So would I just set it up on the server and plug in the values on my local firefox install? | 01:45 |
| qman__ | yes | 01:45 |
| qman__ | make sure you set up some form of protection though, like only allow connections over an SSH tunnel, or a restrictive firewall | 01:45 |
| qman__ | if you leave it open to everyone it won't be long before people find it and start using it | 01:46 |
| wagonboi | sure, thanks | 01:46 |
| jrwren | MavKen: yes, it out of hte box available via cloud-init | 01:47 |

| Overand | man, setting up a rails app on ubuntu is miserable | 06:04 |
| Overand | It was easier to get *Request Tracker* working with FCGI than it has been to get redmine installed. | 06:05 |
| Overand | I wonder why rails is so painful, or if it's just redmine itself | 06:06 |
| Overand | It | 06:06 |
| Overand | Its just like... ok - even the apache module for it by default runs as root, rather than www-data. What? Why the heck? | 06:06 |

| bananapie | Is there a software I can install on one of my user's desktops ( ubuntu ) that will let him browse syslog on my server without ssh access to the server? I don't want to send syslog to his computer because there is not enough bandwidth to send the whole thing. | 15:39 |
| bananapie | I need something basic that will let him do commands like grep and maybe even sed and cut, but no funky stats or anything | 15:40 |
| jrwren | bananapie: why not ssh? | 15:49 |
| bananapie | because I don't trust the guy :P | 15:50 |
| bananapie | he's an employee | 15:50 |
| bananapie | I don't really trust anyone on my servers | 15:50 |
| jrwren | can you fire him? | 15:50 |
| jrwren | why hire someone you don't trust? | 15:50 |
| bananapie | do you trust people to log into your servers?? | 15:50 |
| bananapie | I don't even trust my boss with a private key to access my servers... | 15:50 |
| bananapie | I am a very paranoid person | 15:51 |
| bananapie | ok | 15:51 |
| bananapie | I'll give him root acces :( | 15:51 |
| bananapie | thanks :) | 15:51 |
| jrwren | lol | 15:51 |
| jrwren | no, i understand you. | 15:51 |
| jrwren | depends on what you mean by "my servers" personal home stuff: no one but me. work stuff: all coworkers | 15:51 |
| jrwren | bananapie: how about command= in authorized_keys? | 15:52 |
| jrwren | so give him his own key which can only cat the logs you want him to read. | 15:52 |
| bananapie | I can do that ??? | 15:53 |
| bananapie | Wicked sweet | 15:53 |
| bananapie | man authorized_keys, never thought to look there. | 15:54 |

| mickie | Hi All, I'm trying to install server, on RAID1 across 2 disks, with partitions on RAID, i.e. my /boot is on /dev/md127p1. | 16:00 |
| mickie | but I can't install grub on it, so I tried /dev/md127 and it accepted it | 16:01 |
| mickie | However, now it can't find boot medium and booting stalls :( | 16:01 |
| mickie | How can I repair this? | 16:01 |
| qman__ | mickie, grub must be installed on each disk that makes up the raid, not the raid itself | 16:11 |
| qman__ | so if you install /boot on a partition on md127, you would grub-install /dev/sda /dev/sdb | 16:12 |
| qman__ | that way if either disk fails, the other one still has the grub mbr | 16:12 |
| jrwren | banzounet: no, you make a key with ssh-keygen. did you find some docs? | 16:13 |
| jrwren | here is a nice little blog post on it: http://daryl.learnhouston.com/2006/12/06/limiting-ssh-access-with-the-command-option-in-authorized_keys/ | 16:14 |
| mickie | Thanks qman__ I tried /dev/sda as well as /dev/md127p1 and both failed. | 16:30 |
| mickie | Now trying with sysrescuecd, but /dev/sda fails again: "error: unable to identify a filesystem in hd0" This is because the fs was created on /dev/md127p1,2,3,4 not on sda | 16:44 |
| mickie | in other words /dev/sda does not have partitions on it - the RAID1 array does. | 16:45 |
| RoyK | mickie: is the raid started? | 16:51 |
| RoyK | mickie: cat /proc/mdstat | 16:51 |
| mickie | RoyK, yes it is. md0 : active raid1 sda[0] sdb[1] | 16:53 |
| RoyK | can you pastebin that, please? | 16:53 |
| mickie | Just a mo pls | 16:53 |
| mickie | RoyK, here goes: http://pastebin.com/T5F2VF08 | 16:57 |
| RoyK | no md127 there ;) | 16:58 |
| RoyK | try md0 | 16:58 |
| mickie | That's right, I'm booted into the installation with sysrescueCD which recognises it as /dev/md0 | 16:58 |
| RoyK | it's only called 127 etc if it's not configured in mdadm.conf | 16:59 |
| RoyK | the live cd doesn't care about that | 16:59 |
| mickie | I C | 17:00 |
| RoyK | mickie: does mounting md0* work? | 17:00 |
| mickie | Have a look here: http://pastebin.com/sdwMAw5c | 17:00 |
| RoyK | I generally don't use partitions with md, but looks fine to me | 17:01 |
| RoyK | did you try to mount md0p3 ? | 17:01 |
| mickie | I already have /dev/md0p1 mounted as /boot, /dev/md0p2 mounted as swap, /dev/md0p3 mounted as /, and /dev/md0p4 mounted as /home | 17:02 |
| RoyK | k | 17:02 |
| RoyK | so everything works now? | 17:02 |
| mickie | Well, no! There's no GRUB installed it seems | 17:02 |
| mickie | I've booted the installation on the disks using sysrescueCD | 17:03 |
| RoyK | chroot to the installation, mount /proc, /sys etc, and run grub-install /dev/md0 | 17:03 |
| mickie | Essentially the sysrescueCD is working as the bootloader | 17:03 |
| RoyK | ah | 17:03 |
| RoyK | ok | 17:03 |
| RoyK | never used sysrescueCD | 17:03 |
| mickie | Just another liveCD | 17:04 |
| RoyK | I thought you said bootloader... | 17:04 |
| RoyK | anyway | 17:04 |
| RoyK | chroot into the installation and do as I said | 17:04 |
| mickie | OK, I just run grub-install on /dev/md0 and it seems to have accepted it. | 17:04 |
| RoyK | k | 17:05 |
| mickie | No need to chroot, because I am booted into it already | 17:05 |
| mickie | Right, I'll try to reboot now | 17:05 |
| mickie | update-grub seems to be working ... | 17:06 |
| mickie | 'sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/md0' is not complaining either ... hmm ... time to reboot. | 17:07 |
| mickie | Arrgh! "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted." :-( | 17:09 |
| mickie | Does this mean that GRUB cannot read /dev/md0 - will I need to set up a separate partition on the hard disks? | 17:10 |
| mickie | Got to dash, thanks for your help | 17:11 |

| MraMaria | Hi. Which #channel is for Ubuntu's next release? 13.10 | 18:08 |
| lenios | MraMaria, 13.10 is no more the next release | 18:11 |
| MraMaria | lenios: isn't for november? | 18:11 |
| lenios | no, it was released on october 17th | 18:12 |
| MraMaria | oh :o https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseSchedule | 18:12 |
| MraMaria | i've been using it for more that that date but i thought the calendar(releaseSchedule) were correct | 18:13 |
| MraMaria | well, i just finished a fresh install and the pc goes into an endless loop right when entering grub | 18:14 |
| MraMaria | i have no way of reproducing this | 18:14 |
| MraMaria | it's on a Fujitsu Siemens PRIMERGY TX200 S2 - XEON 3.2Ghz DUAL CORE | 18:15 |
| lenios | what do you mean "when entering grub"? | 18:16 |
| MraMaria | "grub" shows up and loops to a reboot | 18:16 |
| MraMaria | is this probably because i did a LVM? my previous 13.04 install was trough a manual partitioning and everything were right | 18:17 |
| MraMaria | btw, pressing "Shift" doesn't help | 18:18 |
| lenios | i'll be curious to see what it's trying to boot (grub.cfg) , and what are the partitions (fdisk -l) | 18:19 |
| MraMaria | lenios: i have the pc working here. i need to load a live cd to check that | 18:19 |
| MraMaria | lenios: Knoppix good enough isn't? | 18:20 |
| MraMaria | i get a cd with it here. let me see | 18:20 |

| MraMaria | please | 18:22 |
| MraMaria | sory to bother you | 18:22 |
| MraMaria | sorry too :) | 18:22 |
| lenios | cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 18:22 |
| lenios | and fdisk -l (as root) | 18:23 |
| MraMaria | i really don't want to go back for 13.04... | 18:23 |
| MraMaria | okay... | 18:23 |
| lcb-0 | this is weird.. it seems the installation didn-t go trough ... i-ll tell you why in a sec | 18:36 |
| lcb-0 | damn need to change kbd | 18:36 |
| lcb-0 | lenios, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6265511/ | 18:36 |
| lcb-0 | fdisk -l\ | 18:36 |
| lcb-0 | just a sec pls | 18:37 |
| lcb-0 | lenios: i had to copy the contents, but look at those sda files... it seems the installation did-t go trough, althout not having any errors, at ll. sorry for the kb - i can-t see where is the place to change it on this lice cd | 18:42 |
| lcb-0 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6265541/ | 18:42 |
| lcb-0 | err live cd | 18:42 |
| lcb-0 | btw, i-m typing from the server | 18:43 |
| MraMaria | while configuring, i got: LVM VG srv100-vg, LV root (ext4) ; LVM VG srv100-vg, LV swap_1 (swap) ; partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda)as ext2 | 18:46 |
| MraMaria | now, if i go with gparted i see /dev/sda5 (38.11GiB) lvm2, not mounted and with the "!", error, i believe | 18:48 |
| MraMaria | only /dev/sda1 (ext2) is mounted | 18:49 |
| MraMaria | i believe it's probably a HD failure. although i'm admired the system didn't complain while installing | 18:50 |
| MraMaria | any thoughts before i remove that drive, lenios ? | 18:53 |
| lenios | can you try to mount it manually? | 18:54 |
| lcb-0 | let me try | 18:54 |
| lcb-0 | lenios, i tried several ways | 19:02 |
| lcb-0 | mkdir /media/sda5 ; mount -t auto -v /dev/sda5 /media/sda5 | 19:02 |
| lcb-0 | mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/sda5 | 19:02 |
| lcb-0 | which one should i put | 19:02 |
| lenios | mount /dev/srv100-vg/root /mnt | 19:03 |
| lcb-0 | I will try type LVM2_member ... mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' | 19:03 |
| lcb-0 | ok | 19:03 |
| lenios | you need lvm2 to do that | 19:03 |
| lcb-0 | i believe i can/t get with this knoppix. i-ll grad an old graphical ubuntu here, somewhere | 19:04 |
| lcb-0 | grab, i mean | 19:05 |
| lcb-0 | lenios: you want me to do it just in case there is any6 bug cooking here or just remove the hd and do another clean install | 19:05 |
| lcb-0 | i-m pretty sure this is due to this kind of old hd | 19:06 |
| lenios | i don't know if the disk is faulty | 19:06 |
| lenios | you can check the disk, or try another one, but if the disk mounts well, it might not be hardware related | 19:07 |
| lcb-0 | lenios: so there are no other known situations like this, i believe... if not, i really go for faulty hd | 19:07 |
| lcb-0 | do you agree /// interrogation mark/// kb not setted | 19:08 |
| lcb-0 | hehehe | 19:08 |
| lcb-0 | if you want me to discover if it is a bug i-ll go ahead with more testing | 19:09 |
| lenios | you can do as you want | 19:10 |
| lcb-0 | it is not mounted, i forgot to mention, i guess | 19:10 |
| lcb-0 | lvm , i know. | 19:10 |
| lcb-0 | well, i-ll go for a live ubuntu | 19:11 |
| lcb-0 | damn, i don-t have any 64 bit here | 19:11 |
| lenios | you don't really need 64 bit | 19:11 |
| lcb-0 | ok | 19:11 |
| lenios | if it's only to test | 19:12 |
| lcb-0 | ok | 19:12 |
| MraMaria | lenios: the system files are there. it mounted but, i can't get graphics - i know there is a way of pastebin from console but i can't remember how | 19:29 |
| MraMaria | to give you /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 19:30 |
| MraMaria | well, i see it already: there is no /boot/grub/grub.cfg . whole dir empty | 19:32 |
| lenios | what do you mean you can't get graphics? | 19:33 |

| Elico | but it's a distro no? | 19:38 |
| lenios | if you can get the system files, that would be interesting to take a look at the log files | 19:39 |
| MraMaria | lenios: how can i do what you want? "mounted the lvm root from the livecd?" from cli | 19:39 |
| lenios | that's ok if you have a mounted sda5 | 19:39 |
| MraMaria | lenios: ok, i'll check. how can i pastbin from cli. i get internet from the server | 19:40 |
