[02:25] <bitbyte_> Hey guys I'm looking at setting up a SMTP server so my server can email me log details any one know of any good guides ?
[02:26] <bitbyte_> Cause at the moment I'm looking at : http://kylegoslin.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/116/   but where it has example@example.com can i just put anything there in the config ?
[06:10] <moopers> is there someone online who can assist me?
[06:12] <moopers> what is the best open source program to keep files on a computer synchronized with an external hd?
[08:05] <client> moopers, why are you asking that here?
[13:48] <ehnde> i have a fakeraid volume that worked fine in fedora, but ubuntu doesn't see it. is there anything i can do to check support for that? or do i have to go to mdadm?
[13:50] <tboat> hey all, I am currently having an issue where IPtables is blocking samba from showing the share on my Windows Network.  The correct ports are being allowed, as I can direct connect to it, but it won't show automatically
[13:57] <ehnde> screw this i'm going to rebuild it with mdadm
[14:47] <arubi> Hey, anyone downloaded and installed server 12.04 lts 32bit lately?
[14:47] <arubi> whatever I do, I always get an md5sum error during the integrity test
[14:48] <arubi> tried to download on two different machines, two different internet isps
[14:48] <arubi> two different usb sticks
[14:48] <arubi> the md5sum of the iso is always correct, but it always fail during install
[14:48] <arubi> I tried copying the image to the usb with unetbootin and dd, no difference
[14:48] <arubi> both machines pass memtest
[14:49] <TJ-> arubi: I can try it to a VM if that'd help
[14:50] <arubi> Oh thanks TJ-
[14:50] <arubi> that would help a lot
[14:51] <TJ-> It'll have to wait until I've got KDE to replace Unity though - Can't get keyboard input focus to switch to Firefox on another X screen!
[14:52] <arubi> sounds like something anything other than unity would solve :)
[14:53] <TJ-> LOL yeah! Been remodelling my study and switched to a vidock with a 4-head GPU so the lappy can drive 6 monitors... got 4 up now, but Unity has problems with 2 heads, let alone 3 X screens!
[14:53] <TJ-> OK, will be back momentarily... if KDE starts!
[14:54] <arubi> Okay, gl
[15:05] <nyRednek> i'm having a unique issue...i'm stuck behind a captive portal and can't access http. i can, however, ssh to my ubuntu server and would like to find a way around this captive portal if i could via a vpn...
[15:07] <jrwren> if you can ssh you can ssh with -D portnum. that starts a socks5 proxy server on portnum, then just set your web browser to use localhost:portnum as proxy
[16:13] <arubi> ls
[16:13] <arubi> whoops
[16:32] <mibofra> hi guys
[16:32] <mibofra> a strange thing
[16:34] <mibofra> I've set up a bind9 sever, so if I query it from localhost or another remote pc the records I've set are working and the query for other domains too
[16:34] <mibofra> but I can't query the server for other domains that isn't my domain form remote
[16:34] <mibofra> example
[16:38] <mibofra> I can query mydomain.com to my ns server with both localhost and another remote pc and get an answer
[16:38] <mibofra> I query ubuntu.com: on localhost I get an answer, on the remote pc I get ** server can't find ubuntu.com: REFUSED with nslookup
[16:39] <jrwren> mibofra: do any recursive queries work?
[16:40] <jrwren> mibofra: do you have the "." zone defined?
[16:41] <jrwren> mibofra: its in /etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones by default
[16:41] <mibofra> jrwren, ok I've tried, it does the same as it does with the normal queries
[16:42] <mibofra> jrwren, I've the zones defined, 2
[16:42] <mibofra> one normal, one recursive
[16:45] <jrwren> mibofra: i think you need the '.' zone to resolve for anything that you don't have an explicit zone.
[16:45] <jrwren> basically, you need the "root zone"
[16:46] <mibofra> uhm
[16:46] <mibofra> but It's strage that with the same server on localhost it works fine and on a remote pc no xD
[16:47] <jrwren> oh!
[16:47] <jrwren> so 'host www.ubuntu.com localhost' works on the same server running bind
[16:48] <mibofra> jrwren, yes If I query the bind server on its own machine it can answer for its records and other domains, if I query on a remote machine it answer to me only for its own records, for anything else I get ** server can't find google.it: REFUSED
[16:49] <mibofra> for example
[16:49] <mibofra> so I think I need a special setting to allow this for the remote terminals
[16:55] <jrwren> my bind config is modified a lot from what defaults in ubuntu
[16:55] <jrwren> can you pastebin your /etc/bind/named.conf and all the includes?
[17:08] <mibofra> jrwren, ok
[17:10] <mibofra> jrwren, named.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/6579104/
[17:11] <mibofra> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6579119/ named.conf.options
[17:11] <mibofra> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6579125/ named.conf.default-zones
[17:12] <mibofra> that's all jrwren
[17:16] <zotta> Is there a way to speed up tcp connections to my server? I need 4 parallel connections to fill the pipe.Is there a setting so that 1 connection will be fast enough?
[17:19] <mibofra> ok jrwren I've solved
[17:19] <mibofra> I need an allow-query { any; }; option
[17:19] <mibofra> :)
[17:20] <mibofra> jrwren, anyway thanks :)
[17:21] <HiddenDjinn> trying to use a vps as a socks5 proxy...getting connection reset every time i try to access a page. any advice?
[17:39] <zotta> HiddenDjinn: what program do you use?
[17:42] <HiddenDjinn> ssh
[17:45] <zotta> exact error message of browser?
[17:46] <zotta> does it say something about proxy
[17:46] <zotta> or not
[17:59] <jrwren> mibofra: the weird part is that I don't have that and mine is working. *shrug*
[18:00] <mibofra> jrwren, ubuntu server 12.10 bind9 1:9.9.3.dfsg.P2-4ubuntu1
[18:00] <mibofra> you?
[18:02] <jrwren> mibofra: not exactly, but I HAVE used exactly that with this exact config before.
[18:02] <mibofra> lol
[18:02] <jrwren> my config hasn't changed as I upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04 and 13.10
[18:02] <mibofra> jrwren, the server is a vps so maybe the netconfig is strage xD
[18:03] <mibofra> I've to try at home with ubuntu 13.10 / 14.04 dev branch and my internet connection
[18:06] <jrwren> what about your named.conf.local ?
[18:13] <mibofra> jrwren, I didn't send it?
[18:13] <mibofra> no ok just a second
[18:13] <jrwren> nope, just conf, conf.options and conf.default-zones is what you pasted
[18:14] <jrwren> thanks, i'm trying to learn along with you here :)
[18:14] <mibofra> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6579458/ jeffrubic
[18:14] <mibofra> sorry jeffrubic XD
[18:14] <mibofra> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6579458/ jrwren
[18:15] <jrwren> wow, nothing there either.
[18:15] <jrwren> our configs are nearly identical, yet I don't require the allow-query {any;}; option to allow hosts to use my bind as a recursive server.
[18:15] <jrwren> so weird.
[18:52] <lickalott> hello all, looking for a good backup/imaging solution for my server.  i've played with FSarchiver (didn't like) and clonezilla.  But clonezilla is a little more intrusive than I was looking for.  Looking for a simple 1 button/script backup capability > an external source.
[18:52] <lickalott> any idea/opinions?
[19:53] <phunyguy> hello, got a fresh install of ubuntu-server 12.04.... /boot is ext4, and grub install failed after install.   Any ideas?  It boots to a grub prompt because the install wasn't proper.
[20:20] <krababbel> How is apt-get working when I install a package without doing 'apt-get update' first? Will it install the newer version or the one in my cache?
[20:21] <lifeless> krababbel: it will install the version for which there is metadata in your cache
[20:22] <krababbel> lifeless: Thank you.
[21:28] <krababbel> I have a server running bind DNS and I want to install OpenLDAP. Do I have to manually edit /etc/ldap/ldap.conf to enter my domain, or can Bind DNS provide this information automatically? I am not sure what record I have to use with Bind.
[21:52] <krababbel> What can I do when apt-get install does not see that a dependency is already installed? For example I want to install phpldapadmin, and it needs a webserver. I already use lighttpd, and it would satisfy this dependency, but apt-get install wants to install apache2 still.
[21:54] <krababbel> I mean how can I prevent the installation of apache, because there is already lighttpd installed. I could do it in aptitude, but I'd need a command line solution.
[22:00] <andol> krababbel: Odd, from what I can see lighttpd should do the trick in this case, given that phpldapadmin depends on apache2 | httpd, and that lighttpd provides httpd.
[22:01] <andol> krababbel: Assuming lighttpd being installed by way of the package manager?
[22:06] <krababbel> andol: yes, I just installed it via apt-get. I din't edit sourcer or anything.
[22:08] <krababbel> andol: The webserver and ldap server are two separate hosts, I am trying to install phpldapadmin on the webserver, where lighttpd is running already.
[22:09] <krababbel> The systems are updated, they are 13.10 servers, recently installed.
[22:10] <krababbel> aptitude wants to install apache also, but there I can just unselect it.
[22:10] <andol> krababbel: Hmm, might have been wrong, because it seems like it insits on apache on my local computer as well, even after having installed lighttpd.
[22:11] <andol> krababbel: Ahh, here we have it.
[22:12] <andol> There is also the dependency libapache2-mod-php5 | php5-cli, where libapache-mod-php5 not suprisingly depends on apache
[22:13] <andol> If you beforehand instead install php5-cli it should be fine.
[22:13] <krababbel> andol: Of course, thank you a lot.
[22:14] <krababbel> I was wondering if there was some apt-get option I needed to use instead.
[22:14] <krababbel> andol: Thank you. :)
[22:14] <andol> krababbel: Glad it worked out.
[22:15] <hallyn_> sarnold: so i've got libvirt starting qemu (under strace -f) as my desktop uid, with apparmomr policy permitting PUx for /usr/bin/pulseaudio.  As my uid on terminal i can run /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start.  But strace shows -EPERM (NOT -EACCESS) when running /usr/bin/pulseaudio.  I'm confused.  Ideas
[22:15] <hallyn_> ?
[22:16] <hallyn_> Oh!  hm, those fersnickety acls maybe
[22:17] <hallyn_> nope, not that.
[22:18] <hallyn_> so what else can cause a -EPERM there?
[22:23] <adamjames> i am trying to get an atheros usb wifi adapter working on 12.04. it has chipset AR5523, i have searched the web and followed the guides that seem to have worked for other folks. lsusb shows the device but no firmware. i have copied the firmware to /lib/firmware and done modprobe ar5523 and still no luck. can anyone help me get this going?
[22:25] <adamjames> i know its odd for wifi on the server machine. i have a device that connects only over wifi that i would like to use with this machine
[22:41] <Cerales> I'm seeing some strange edge cases where, very occasionally, I get connection refused from apache while logrotate.d rotates apache's logs. I checked /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 and /etc/init.d/apache2, and confirmed that the right signals (USR1, i.e. graceful) are being sent. Has anyone encountered this before?

[22:52] <Cerales> whoops
[23:17] <hallyn_> ah, secvomp i bet
[23:17] <hallyn_> seccomp that is
[23:32] <phunyguy> How can I specify manually the drive to install grub to in the 12.04 Server installation?  It keeps assuming /dev/sda, but that is not the drive I am installing to.  In fact, that is what the USB key shows up as.
[23:32] <phunyguy> so it keeps installing grub to the USB key instead.
