| Patrickdk | you can do it anytime you want though | 00:52 |
| Nautilus | anyone care to help with the basics of naming a machine properly? I have already put a name for the box in /etc/hostname, but think I need to do more (to make a fqdn). The VPS will host a few small sites of mine, not sure how to choose which domain name or where to put it | 01:56 |
| Nautilus | hostname returns the name I put in there, but "hostname --fqdn" tells me "hostname: Name or service not known" | 01:57 |
| pmatulis | Nautilus: it's taken from /etc/hosts | 01:59 |
| pmatulis | Nautilus: (domain name that is) | 02:00 |
| pmatulis | Nautilus: so put the FQDN in there | 02:00 |
| Nautilus | ok, I made an entry there. I have localhost and whatever was below that I changed to boxname.domainname.com (also 127.0.0.1) | 02:01 |
| Nautilus | already have it | 02:01 |
| gry | what does "hostname --fqdn" say now? | 02:01 |
| Nautilus | same error, maybe I forgot to reboot? | 02:02 |
| Nautilus | I put that in yesterday | 02:02 |
| pmatulis | Nautilus: pastebin your /etc/hosts | 02:02 |
| Nautilus | http://pastebin.com/DgP8uvaS where naut is the contents of /etc/hostname | 02:04 |
| Nautilus | ohhhhh geez 127.0.1.2 | 02:04 |
| Nautilus | err, 127.0.1.1 | 02:04 |
| Nautilus | I have to reboot after changing that, right? it's now 127.0.0.1 | 02:05 |
| gry | Dunno. | 02:07 |
| Nautilus | looking at something else first then wil reboot | 02:07 |
| Nautilus | ah, the original hosts file had "127.0.1.1 Ubuntu12" .... should I put that back in? | 02:08 |
| Nautilus | heres what I have now: http://pastebin.com/AgtfrD83 | 02:11 |
| pmatulis | what you had before was better | 02:12 |
| pmatulis | but you were missing something | 02:12 |
| pmatulis | the format should be this: | 02:12 |
| pmatulis | 127.0.1.1 hostname.example.com hostname | 02:12 |
| pmatulis | and you don't need to reboot | 02:12 |
| Nautilus | do I leave the 127.0.1.1 Ubuntu12 line? | 02:13 |
| pmatulis | no | 02:13 |
| Nautilus | will remove | 02:13 |
| Nautilus | is there any reason to choose one domain name over another? I have about 3 I'll be putting on here | 02:14 |
| Nautilus | ope will do more email than the others | 02:14 |
| Nautilus | one* | 02:14 |
| Nautilus | hostname --fqdn | 02:15 |
| Nautilus | naut.reedonline.com | 02:15 |
| pmatulis | good work | 02:16 |
| Nautilus | tx to you guys :) | 02:16 |
| Nautilus | this is it now: http://pastebin.com/iizvEEH5 | 02:17 |
| Nautilus | i have 2 users I've added as sudoers, I should then disable the root user? | 02:25 |
| Nautilus | (and what would be the best way to disable the root user?) | 02:27 |
| pmatulis | Nautilus: did you enable the root user? it's disabled by default on ubuntu | 02:29 |
| Nautilus | perhaps the VPS provider enabled it in the image? It was the only user I started with | 02:30 |
| Nautilus | so I gather I should disable it. Like this? sudo passwd -l root | 02:35 |
| Nautilus | oh, sshd_config has a setting for that ... looks like the best way | 02:40 |
| pmatulis | no | 02:40 |
| pmatulis | that won't prevent someone becoming root if they have shell access | 02:41 |
| pmatulis | disable the user and all disable root ssh login (another default) | 02:42 |
| pmatulis | disable the user and disable root ssh login (another default) | 02:42 |
| Nautilus | i do the later with sshd_config, right? | 02:43 |
| pmatulis | yes, and restart sshd after making the change | 02:44 |
| savid | Anyone know how I can configure the "extra_modules" option in linux-crashdump? It seems on RHEL systems it's located at /etc/kudmp, but I'm not sure where ubuntu keeps it. | 02:45 |
| Nautilus | and the former is what I had above... sudo passwd -l root ? | 02:45 |
| pmatulis | yeah | 02:45 |
| Nautilus | thanks | 02:45 |
| pmatulis | savid: try /etc/default/... | 02:45 |
| savid | pmatulis: I have /etc/default/kdump-tools, but I don't see any options for extra_modules there | 02:46 |
| Nautilus | if I do an "apt-get install" for something that's already installed, that's not a problem is it? | 02:56 |
| cfhowlett | Nautilus nope. it'll just return "already installed" or zero installed | 02:58 |
| Nautilus | thanks | 02:59 |
| pmatulis | savid: kdump stuff is quite distro specific. there may not be the modules you're after | 02:59 |
| pmatulis | in ubuntu | 03:00 |
| pmatulis | savid: what release are you on and what functionality are you looking for? | 03:00 |
| Nautilus | turning on the ufw firewall, what should i allow? ssh and http for sure, what about https (for the future), and sftp (maybe ssh covers that?) | 03:00 |
| Nautilus | 12.04 | 03:00 |
| Nautilus | oops that was for savid | 03:00 |
| savid | pmatulis: I'm on 14.04. I need to configure kdump to load extra modules when it builds the initramfs. | 03:05 |
| pr3d4t0r | sheptard: Thinking about it. Why wouldn't you? Personal preference or there are known issues with the upgrade? | 03:07 |
| sheptard | pr3d4t0r: I updated to 14.04 and kinda wish I hadn't | 03:08 |
| sheptard | I had a fun few hours trying to get zfs working again | 03:08 |
| sheptard | but I updated the day it came out | 03:08 |
| sheptard | but if this server is in production, you may do well to wait until 14.04.1 is out | 03:08 |
| pr3d4t0r | sheptard: Coolio, thanks for the heads up. | 03:15 |
| * pr3d4t0r shelves plans for a few weeks. | 03:15 | |
| Nautilus | I'm following along at http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-secure-ubuntu-1204-lts-server-part-1-basics but at step 6 I don't have a /etc/bind/named.conf.options file ... what's that tell me? | 03:23 |
| Nautilus | ah, looks like I dont have bind9 | 03:24 |
| Nautilus | oy, did I just do something to make some keys stop responding? mess up a keymap? | 03:26 |
| Nautilus | v, e and r do not respond | 03:27 |
| Nautilus | yea, I was trying to query the version. yikes, how to fix | 03:27 |
| Nautilus | I can't even cut & paste "-m keymap", the e doesn't come out :( | 03:28 |
| Nautilus | i'm stuck on this, any suggestions? | 03:34 |
| CCs | Can you, please, repeat your question? (I just joined) | 03:35 |
| Nautilus | sure. I was messing with bind commands and seem to have unbound the v. e and r keys. | 03:35 |
| Nautilus | so fairly fubar atm ;) | 03:35 |
| CCs | so when you press v, e or r keys, nothing happens? | 03:39 |
| CCs | sed -n l | 03:39 |
| CCs | press v | 03:40 |
| Nautilus | yes | 03:40 |
| CCs | press Enter | 03:40 |
| CCs | what do you see? | 03:40 |
| CCs | (You can exit with Ctrl-D) | 03:40 |
| Cyberspirit | I see a house | 03:40 |
| Cyberspirit | a tree | 03:40 |
| Nautilus | I cant type sed | 03:40 |
| CCs | because of e :) | 03:40 |
| CCs | right | 03:40 |
| Nautilus | hang on, someone said just to logout/login | 03:40 |
| CCs | That's a solution. Or reboot. :) | 03:41 |
| CCs | Or mouse, if you have Xterm | 03:41 |
| Nautilus | logout did it. I was worrie because v and e are in my login | 03:42 |
| CCs | Catch 22 :) | 03:42 |
| Nautilus | yep | 03:42 |
| CCs | There's graphical tool too http://xahlee.info/linux/linux_keyboard_tools.html | 03:42 |

| xperia | hi all. when i try to install maas on my ubuntu server i get the information that syslog-ng will be deleted. Problem is however that Syslog-NG is needed on the system and from what i see there is also no Replacement Install maked after the removal of the Package. Actually Ubuntu let me the Choise either to install maas and loose all logging possibility or keep Syslog-NG and not able to... | 10:46 |
| xperia | ...install MAAS. Is this Normal? | 10:46 |
| histo | !info maas | 11:03 |
| ubottu | maas (source: maas): MAAS server all-in-one metapackage. In component main, is optional. Version 1.5.1+bzr2269-0ubuntu0.1 (trusty), package size 2 kB, installed size 40 kB | 11:03 |
| histo | xperia: can you pastebin the output you are seeing when you try to install | 11:04 |
| xperia | histo: yeah sure one moment. | 11:19 |
| TJ- | xperia: The reason is the dependency chain: maas > maas-cluster-controller > rsyslog | 11:20 |
| xperia | histo: here is the paste => http://apaste.info/24I | 11:20 |
| xperia | TJ-: Ahhh rsyslog Thanks for the Info. The Question is now then when i install MAAS how can i still logg as a example postfix becouse i allready installed one time Maas and there were no more Postfix Mail Logging availble. | 11:22 |
| xperia | Maas for sure breaks in ubuntu the postfix mail logging at least on my side this is the case. | 11:23 |
| TJ- | I think it is because they both provide "system-log-daemon", and yet maas-cluster-controller doesn't... I wonder if that is an oversight? Worth making a bug report against it, replacing rsyslog with system-log-daemon | 11:24 |
| xperia | well i just started looking into maas. I collected several Dell PowerEdge 1750 Servers and i am trying now to create a High Computing Cluster with ubuntu. Have to say that MAAS however from ubuntu is not really that good when it comes to High Computing Cluster as the People from MAAS expect to Install the Ubuntu Images on every Node aka every Node Sever however i dont have Harddisk there and... | 11:29 |
| xperia | ...second i prefer to boot the Image into Ram and this Feature is not availble in MAAS ... | 11:29 |
| TJ- | I thought nodes were PXE booted? | 11:31 |
| xperia | TJ-: yeah they are pxe booted but after they boot MAAS expect to Install the Full Ubuntu Image into the Nodes. That is not really good as i prefer to boot the Image on every Node into ram. | 11:32 |
| xperia | I was able however to compile the simple Kestrel High Performance Computing Cluster Software on Ubuntu. http://kestrelcluster.github.io/ | 11:36 |
| xperia | This is much more Impressive actually as nearly everything is done with the Shell. The Kestrel Package however is broken in Ubuntu Server. I had to spend a lot of Time till i got it compiled. https://launchpad.net/~kestrel/+archive/kestrel-3.0 | 11:36 |
| histo | Are beowulf clusters still used/ | 11:40 |
| Cyberspirit | im gonna build one | 11:44 |
| xperia | histo: good question. from what i learned is that beowolf is based on kestrel actually. I looked into beowolf also but from what i have read is that BeoWolf expect that on every node a Computer Operating System is installed into the Hard Disk. I spent lot of time to find a Package to Run and Manage Computing Node Cluster in Diskless Modus where the Operating System is loaded into the Ram... | 11:44 |
| xperia | ...instead installed to Hard Disk but could not find anything like that except Kluster HPC. | 11:44 |
| Cyberspirit | just made a Class A IP address space on my 2nd lan | 11:44 |
| Cyberspirit | but im going to be using virtual machine containers | 11:44 |

I searched the Internet for it but could not find any solution that works till yet! | 15:27 |

| DeltaHeavy | Hey. My local machine is Windows but I have a VPS I'd like to mount over the network. What's the best option for this? I'm having issues specific to my text editor with SSHFS, and I'm thinking of either SAMBA or NFS. Any suggestions? My VPS is running Ubuntu 12.04. | 16:28 |
| lordievader | DeltaHeavy: I'm using samba over ssh usually when I'm on windows and outside of my network. | 16:32 |
| lordievader | I've set it up using this guide: http://www.nikhef.nl/~janjust/CifsOverSSH/Win7Loopback.html | 16:33 |
| DeltaHeavy | lordievader: Thanks, I'll look at this. Things sent over SAMBA aren't secure on their own? | 16:33 |
| lordievader | No idea, personally I don't trust it enough. But I never looked into it ;) | 16:34 |
| DeltaHeavy | Man, that looks WAY more complicated than it needs to me :p I might have to do this on a few computers in a reasonable amount of time. | 16:35 |
| oste | how do you revert a ppa? | 17:37 |
| oste | trying to get rid of php 5.6 now | 17:37 |
| lordievader | oste: That is what's ppa purge is for. | 17:38 |
| oste | i did this sudo ppa-purge ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6 | 17:41 |
| oste | but php 5.6 beta 3 still shows as the version | 17:41 |
| lordievader | Do you have multiple ppa's offering 5.6? | 17:42 |
| oste | i dont think so | 17:43 |
| oste | PPA to be removed: ondrej php5-5.6 | 17:44 |
| oste | Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: ondrej php5-5.6 | 17:44 |
| oste | so that confirms that it is gone | 17:45 |
| oste | i restarted apache | 17:45 |
| lordievader | oste: What does "apt-cache policy php5-common" return? | 17:56 |
| oste | haha was just about to launch a new instance | 17:56 |
| oste | would be nice to know how to remove those things | 17:56 |
| oste | hang on.. | 17:56 |
| oste | http://pastebin.com/u2VbKxci | 17:57 |
| lordievader | There is no repo supplying 5.6 beta, did you manually install the package? | 18:00 |
| oste | no | 18:01 |
| DeltaHeavy | 14.04 is using 5.5? Crap >: | 18:01 |
| DeltaHeavy | Guess I'll still be compiling php5-fpm | 18:01 |
| oste | yeah it is | 18:01 |
| oste | but i used the ppa to get 5.6 | 18:01 |
| DeltaHeavy | Why aren't they using 5.6? | 18:01 |
| oste | it is not released | 18:02 |

| oste | i am stuck on php 5.6 and found a bug in a package pretty quickly | 18:04 |
| oste | gotta go back | 18:04 |
| lordievader | oste: Remove and install from the repo. | 18:04 |
| oste | shouldnt it do that? | 18:05 |
| oste | i have removed the ppa | 18:05 |
| oste | so sudo apt-get upgrade should now install php from the repo | 18:05 |
| lordievader | No, it won't. Your current version of php is newer. | 18:06 |
| lordievader | apt-get upgrade doesn't downgrade packages. | 18:06 |
| oste | i see | 18:06 |
| oste | how to remove the current version? | 18:07 |
| oste | sudo apt-get purge php* | 18:07 |
| oste | could try that haha | 18:07 |
| lordievader | apt-get remove php5-common&&apt-get autoclean&&apt-get install php5-common (and other things you might need) | 18:07 |
| oste | about to hose the server :) | 18:09 |
| oste | damn - seems reverting back is not so easy | 18:09 |
| lordievader | Yeah, downgrading packages can be a pita. | 18:10 |
| qman | oste: alternative is manually downloading the debs and using dpkg -i | 18:14 |
| qman | not sure if there is a way to do something similar with apt-get | 18:14 |
| oste | thanks but i did hose the server | 18:19 |
| lordievader | oste: What did you remove? Libc? | 18:23 |
| oste | i am not really sure sorry | 18:23 |
| oste | kind of a noob - need to stay away from downgrading packages | 18:23 |
| lordievader | Theoretically it should only remove php5-common and perhaps a few things that depend on <- | 18:24 |
