[00:17] <krababbe1> bekks, hitsujiTMO Thanks, creating the LDAP users locally on the fileserver seems to work. :)
[01:28] <jtran> when i do apt-get install mysql-server , it auto creates a mysql user and assigns it a uid.  how do i control which uid to give it?
[01:37] <krababbel> Is there a major problem creating users all with GID=100?
[01:37] <jtran> krababbel:  /scarcasm?
[01:38] <jtran> sarcasm lol
[01:38] <krababbel> jtran: Just a necessity
[01:38] <jtran> oh u said GID100
[01:38] <jtran> i misread that as uid 100
[01:39] <krababbel> jtran: Oh, it is 100, or group=users. I have LDAP for authentication, and I didn't want to create group entries in LDAP.
[01:39] <jtran> i don't see any reason why having all users in same GID would be bad as long as it is no privs in that gid
[01:39] <krababbel> So I assigned all accounts stored in LDAP GID=100. It is just a small lab.
[01:40] <lifeless> jtran: you can pre-create the user if you want.
[01:40] <krababbel> jtran: OK, I see. Well they won't be able to put each others in "their" groups to restrictively share files for example, but I was  wondering if there was some major issue. :)
[01:40] <jtran> lifeless: cool that's what i was thinking. thanks for confirming
[01:41] <krababbel> jtran: I misread uid as well :)
[01:44] <krababbel> Is there a way to create a group as non-root?
[01:45] <krababbel> Or something similar, so that I as a user can put another user in that group, so only the two of us can access a file with group access for that group?
[01:46] <jtran> krababbel:  no groups are 'root'
[01:46] <jtran> other than sys
[01:46] <jtran> and root
[01:47] <jtran> by def users don't have the ability to add another user to a group
[01:47] <krababbel> jtran: I mean, as a user, I cannot create a group
[01:47] <jtran> so i dunno hwo you'd do that other than by granding sudo
[01:48] <krababbel> jtran: I see
[01:48] <jtran> granting sudo
[01:48] <krababbel> of course, sudo may do it
[01:49] <krababbel> Maybe I am tired, but this means you cannot give access to only specific users to some of your files without root?
[01:50] <krababbel> I guessed you could create non-system groups as user. :)
[02:02] <jtran> krababbel: u can create non-system groups?
[02:03] <jtran> krababbel: u might get more hits on your question right now in #ubuntu or #linux
[02:07] <krababbel> jtran, no I wnat to, I am new to Linux and sysadministration, and didn't know that users could not create groups or assign users to them.

[16:00] <brendon1981> hi everyone.... hoping someone can help me - tried to follow a guide to install headless transmission.  Now I give up and just want to fix my permissions, as when I try to mkdir in ~ directory it says "no space left on device", but when I sudo, it works fine.

[16:08] <danwest> ^^ do-release-upgrade fail
[16:09] <danwest> seems I'm not the only one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1178245
[16:11] <patdk-wk_> from? do?
[16:16] <rbasak> danwest: I just asked bdmurray in #ubuntu-devel.
[16:16] <rbasak> (about that bug)
[16:19] <rbasak> danwest: could you join #ubuntu-devel and help bdmurray, please? He asked:
[16:20] <rbasak> 16:18 <bdmurray> rbasak: ah, okay.  do you know what kind of install (for  testing) the upgade was being attempted from?
[16:23] <danwest> rbasak: will do, thx
[16:24] <Untouchab1e> What email server would you all recommend?
[17:30] <TheLordOfTime> rbasak, did you see this?  http://www.jorgecastro.org/2014/01/02/nginx-coming-to-main-in-14-dot-04/  http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/01/ubuntu-puts-nginx-web-server-on-equal-footing-with-apache/
[17:30] <TheLordOfTime> s/this/these/
[17:33] <rbasak> TheLordOfTime: indeed!
[17:33] <rbasak> TheLordOfTime: I don't think jcastro was expecting that reaction! How do you feel about it?
[17:33] <TheLordOfTime> rbasak, i did have a minor spat on twitter with the arstechnica author about them jumping the gun, but jcastro's comment was made "promoted" about how it's not yet in main.
[17:34] <TheLordOfTime> rbasak, a mix of happy, excited, and not caring
[17:34] <jcastro> hah
[17:34] <TheLordOfTime> the not caring part because i'm more concerned about things outside of Ubuntu at the moment
[17:34] <jcastro> welcome to the ubuntu server team!
[17:34] <TheLordOfTime> like the frigid cold
[17:34] <jcastro> every day is like that! :p
[17:34] <TheLordOfTime> xD
[17:34] <TheLordOfTime> rbasak, at this point, though, i'm hoping nothing catastrophic happens to prevent the main inclusion
[17:35] <rbasak> I hope so too.
[17:35] <TheLordOfTime> because this is something everyone is happy to hear about
[17:35] <rbasak> Though, if anything, the reaction demonstrates why we should have it in main.
[17:35] <TheLordOfTime> indeed.
[17:35] <TheLordOfTime> rbasak, i do have a feeling the Apache2 die-hard fans who despise nginx are going to have some complaining
[17:35] <TheLordOfTime> but ultimately this is good news, and this reaction should serve well in favor of nginx in main (if only a little)
[17:36] <TheLordOfTime> jcastro, thanks for the recognition though :)
[17:36] <jcastro> :)
[17:36] <rbasak> Well, there's no suggestion that apache2 will leave main.
[17:37] <TheLordOfTime> rbasak, true.
[17:37] <TheLordOfTime> either way, this is a good thing :)
[18:08] <gdeeble> Can someone direct me in the right direction here? I have a server running Zentyal 3.2. Followed their tutorial on setting up a domain, however, only have 1 NIC. My problem is, I can get my laptop(only computer I'm trying right now) to join the domain. It says it can't find the controller, but I have my DNS set up right any all.
[18:25] <hallyn> zul: bug 1244694 , could you test the proposed line in comment #17?
[18:26] <hallyn> (make sure to apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.libvirt.virt-aa-helper after adding the line, of course)
[20:11] <tclarke> hi, trying to get the ubuntu cloud live usb working on a laptop..when I boot, not seeing eth0...restarting networking show's it in stop/waiting...lspci shows an Intel controller available
[23:10] <nwilson5> best way to allow a process to copy files between servers efficiently? ex: web server, user uploads image, web server saves image on separate computer to serve said image.
[23:11] <nwilson5> can scp with web user having ssh key on image server w/ appropriate permissions
[23:11] <nwilson5> although i'm not sure that's ideal
[23:29] <krababbel> Hi, I got a client which can access my LDAP server for user accounts. 'getent passwd' shows them fine and I can login too with those. Lokal accounts are OK too. My problem is, that I cannot get proper write access to another server running Samba. This server does not know about LDAP user accounts, but I tried enabling them and it wouldn't help. I created a Samba share which should be accessible to users with GID=100. My LDA
[23:32] <krababbel> The files created from the clien have the UID of winuser on the server. I can touch them, but not edit them. I can also delete them, although it always tells me, they are write protected.
[23:50] <krababbel> not even the same lokal user on both systems seems to be able to write. I have to enable force user  for a share and set it to the lokal user.
