| netritious | Hi, I'm currently in the middle of an apt-get upgrade and being prompted to select a disk to install grub to since the disk that grub was originally installed to is unavailable. I would like to stop the upgrade and insert the disk that has grub installed and used to boot the system, then restart the upgrade process. I'm assuming CTRL+Z, insert and mount disk, restart apt-get? Is there a safer way? | 07:14 |
|---|---|---|
| patdk-lap | your method wouldn't work | 07:21 |
| patdk-lap | ctrl-z is send to background, not quit | 07:22 |
| netritious | patdk-lap: I just killed the dpkg process/sub-processes (not with CTRL+C -- you are right, that didn't work), inserted and mounted disk, and ran sudo dpkg --configure -a ... came back with no errors. | 07:47 |
| netritious | How do I verify the version of grub installed on the device? | 07:48 |
| netritious | I found it... grub-install -v . Apologies for the rookie questions. It's very early morning here and I'm usually asleep by now. Happy Holidays! | 07:55 |
| krababbel | Hi, I want to create an LDAP server for central user management and a separate NFS server for serving home directories. I usually see tutorial about having the NFS server on the same machine as the LDAP server. In my case, should I simply setup the NFS server as an LDAP client (for auth), or are there some other issues to know about_ | 12:41 |
| bekks | krababbel: If you want authentication for NFS, you have to use NFSv4, and technically it doesnt matter where the NFS server is running then. | 12:42 |
| krababbel | bekks: Does this mean, I'd need Kerberos as well please? | 12:43 |
| bekks | krababbel: Yes. | 12:44 |
| krababbel | bekks: I see, thank you very much. | 12:44 |
| LeMike | hello. is it possible to have only access to the ssh root via a certain network while all other user can login as they like? | 12:49 |
| RoyK | LeMike: see Match in the sshd_config manual | 12:53 |
| RoyK | LeMike: found some info here http://blog.dhampir.no/content/ssh-how-to-permit-root-login-only-from-local-network-ip | 12:54 |
| LeMike | thanks RoyK ! :) | 12:54 |
| TJ- | LeMike: See sshd_config's "AllowUsers" and "DenyUsers", specifically the form "AllowUsers root@remote-hostname-or-IP" | 12:54 |
| TJ- | LeMike: You can also use "AllowHosts" if you want a global restriction | 12:57 |
| LeMike | I want only one network to allow logging in as root. I guess AllowUsers might do. | 12:59 |
| LeMike | thanks :) | 13:00 |

| hadifarnoud | when I use ssh tunnel, I get errors like this after a while. channel 27: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed | 19:35 |
| hadifarnoud | I used root account btw | 19:35 |
| holstein | !root | 19:36 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 19:36 |
| TheLordOfTime | hadifarn_: don't try and tunnel over the root acount | 19:42 |
| TheLordOfTime | that will usually run into problems. | 19:43 |
| hadifarn_ | TheLordOfTime: I was trying to see if errors go away | 19:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | as holstein said: | 19:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | !root | 19:43 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 19:43 |
| hadifarn_ | I get same errors regardless TheLordOfTime | 19:43 |
| holstein | i was thinking maybe its not really ubuntu.. maybe its a spin by a provider | 19:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | could be | 19:43 |
| hadifarn_ | well, I have two providers. Linode and Rackspace. both are the same. | 19:44 |
| hadifarn_ | this is my ssh command : ssh -C -D 8080 user@domain.com | 19:44 |

| hadifarn_ | I don't understand what that error even means. channel 27: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed | 19:46 |
| holstein | hadifarn_: i would try as a normal user with no or less flags | 19:46 |
| hadifarn_ | holstein: you mean no -C then? | 19:46 |
| holstein | hadifarn_: dropping -C should be easy enough | 19:47 |
| hadifarn_ | will give it a shot. | 19:47 |
| holstein | hadifarn_: did you enable a root account? | 19:47 |
| hadifarn_ | holstein: yeah. | 19:47 |
| hadifarn_ | even tried with root accont holstein | 19:47 |
| holstein | hadifarn_: i havent used a root account like that.. only as normal user from stock machines that i have installed to | 19:48 |
| esde | I'd like to setup SSD Caching with a 60GB SSD and 1TB HDD, then install Ubuntu Server 12.04. I found this guide http://askubuntu.com/questions/252140/how-do-i-install-and-use-flashcache-bcache-to-cache-hdd-to-ssd/314464#314464 to set up bcache, but I do not understand the caveat at the end of the user's steps | 19:49 |
| esde | *flashcache | 19:49 |
| holstein | esde: the installation of grub is what is mentioned there | 19:50 |
| holstein | manually dealing with that should be easy compared to the rest of it | 19:50 |
| esde | ok, so dont worry until it's setup, then work on resolving that issue? | 19:51 |
| holstein | esde: thats the way i read it.. but, i might personally prefer trying to covert a system that i have backed up or dont care if it gets messed up | 19:52 |
| esde | thank you | 19:52 |
