[04:22] <Pinchiukas> Is there a way to make the installation of Ubuntu server smaller and less memory hungry?
[04:31] <histo> Pinchiukas: yes install a minimal system
[04:37] <Pinchiukas> histo: how?
[04:40] <histo> Pinchiukas: expert install, net install, or use debootstrap
[04:40] <histo> !lowmemory | Pinchiukas
[04:48] <Pinchiukas> Is the "Install a command-line system" still available on the installation CDs?
[04:48] <Pinchiukas> I don't remember seeing one and I don't have one on hand.
[04:53] <histo> Pinchiukas: the server install is a command-line system
[04:53] <histo> Pinchiukas: afaik it's only availible on the server and net/mini iso
[04:56] <Pinchiukas> Ok, I'll try that, thanks.
[05:10] <MACscr> wth, why would my ubuntu server keep getting a dhcp address if i have a static one assigned?
[05:11] <MACscr> its very frustrating
[05:13] <MACscr> nvm, for some reason the network manager was installed. i removed it. hopefully that solves it

[07:07] <lordievader> Good morning.
[07:09] <kickinz1> morning
[07:11] <lordievader> Hey kickinz1, how are you?
[07:13] <kickinz1> good, and you? your pxe is working right now?
[07:15] <lordievader> kickinz1: Doing good, haven't used PXE in a while but should still be good. (I get the feeling you are confusing me with someone else ;) )
[07:17] <kickinz1> if so sorry ;)
[07:18] <kickinz1> I was wrong yes, but that doesn't matter for the good morning, and the like ;)
[07:19] <lordievader> kickinz1: True, true. Just thought I'd mention it to avoid any further confusion ;)
[08:12] <Braden`> Hello
[08:12] <Braden`> How would I modify /etc/init.d/php5-fpm to always perform "chown www-data.www-data /var/run/php5-fpm.sock" every time "service php5-fpm start" is called?
[08:14] <Sachiru> Query: Why do you want php5-fpm to do that?
[08:15] <Braden`> I noticed that after upgrading ubuntu, the new version of apache fpm actually cares who owns the sock
[08:15] <Braden`> socket
[08:15] <Braden`> I get 500 errors if I don't set the owner
[08:17] <Sachiru> Okay... so why do you need to set the owner every time you start the service?
[08:17] <Sachiru> And not, you know, set it once and be done with it?
[08:17] <Braden`> Because the sock file is destroyed and recreated when the service is restarted
[08:18] <Braden`> and when it is recreated it is owned by root.root
[08:20] <Braden`> Sachiru:  I presume you know how to accomplish what I am wanting, or will you sit there and let me to continue to suffer?
[08:20] <Braden`> :)
[08:20] <histo> Braden`: you've been answered multiple times in #ubuntu
[08:20] <histo> Braden`: that's probably not what you want to do. try adding "listen.owner = www-data" and "listen.group = www-data" to the conf file in /etc/php5/<other
[08:20] <histo>  │                 | stuff here>
[08:20] <histo> from ben64Braden`: that's probably not what you want to do. try adding "listen.owner = www-data" and "listen.group = www-data" to the conf file in /etc/php5/<other

[08:21] <Braden`> Oh, I didn't see that
[08:21] <histo> stupid touchpad on this machine.
[08:21] <Braden`> Thank you
[11:21] <dkorras> hi all, please help me. i ahev created a bond interface on my UBuntu machine, but when I ifup bond0 i get the error:  sh: echo I/O error
[11:27] <pmatulis_> morning
[11:28] <dkorras> monring
[11:28] <dkorras> morning
[12:37] <mrfraggs> hi, thers some shell gui tool to configure the interfaces
[12:37] <mrfraggs> whats it called again? i used it (i hope it was on ubuntu and not centos ...)
[13:23] <jamespage> zul, hmm - there is a bug in cloud-archive-backportpackage
[13:23] <jamespage> its generating the changelog against 12.04 for 14.04 targetted packages
[13:23] <zul> jamespage:  erp
[13:24] <zul> jamespage:  ill have a look
[13:24] <jamespage> zul, ta
[13:25] <no_gravity> Shouldnt a change of the A RECORD of a subdomain immediately have an effect? When i dig sub.mydomain.org ... why do i still get the old ip?
[13:29] <rbasak> no_gravity: it's common for DNS responses to be cached.
[13:30] <jamespage> zul, urh - glance is also not backporting from proposed for precise-icehouse - that rings a bell? didn't we have trouble in the lab with that one?
[13:30] <zul> six
[13:30] <no_gravity> rbasak: yeah.. i found out now. 1h ttl.
[13:52] <zul> jamespage:  interesting http://paste.ubuntu.com/7726547/
[13:52] <jamespage> zul, yeah - I think its assuming we are always backporting to precise still
[16:18] <begginner> How do I get the system to mil itself (14.04 LTS)  I installed sSMTP and alpine and can send mail to other machines, but not to itself.
[16:21] <RoyK> begginner: install postfix
[16:27] <begginner> I just installed postfix as you suggested... still no luck.  Where do I look for error messages?
[16:28] <RoyK> begginner: /var/log/mail.*
[16:28] <RoyK> begginner: have you setup a firewall?
[16:30] <begginner> I have not set up a firewall, but the server is behind one (10.17....)
[16:31] <RoyK> begginner: then you need to setup port forwarding somewhere to allow the smtp traffic to enter your machine
[16:35] <begginner> Where can I read about that?  I didn't know the firewall could stop mail from localhost to localhost
[16:35] <RoyK> erm
[16:36] <RoyK> no
[16:36] <RoyK> it can't
[16:36] <RoyK> begginner: so - trying to just 'mail myuser' won't send it?
[16:38] <begginner> instead of silenec I am seeing error messages now in the mail log
[16:41] <RoyK> pastebin that
[16:41] <RoyK> !pastebin | begginner
[16:43] <begginner> Just a second... I'll try that.   But now that I install postfix I can no longer mail off that box to other machines
[16:44] <RoyK> that's wierd indeed
[16:44] <begginner> !pastebinit http://paste.ubuntu.com/7727205/
[16:44] <begginner> I guess I did that wrong
[16:45] <RoyK> caldwell is your username?
[16:46] <RoyK> and add things like postmaster/hostmaster/abuse etc to /etc/aliases and run newaliases to generate the hash
[16:47] <begginner> yes
[16:48] <RoyK> begginner: it's really wierd - never seen this before
[16:50] <begginner> the only line there is "postmaster: root"; do I just set the rest to root?
[16:50] <RoyK> preferably your own user
[16:50] <RoyK> or
[16:50] <RoyK> set them to root and
[16:50] <RoyK> root: youruser
[16:50] <RoyK> that way you get the root mail too
[16:53] <begginner> things might be working...
[16:55] <RoyK> :)
[16:55] <begginner> Thank-you very much...   I check more carefully in awile but I sent mail to myself and another machine...
[16:55] <begginner> bye
[18:46] <bitbyte> Is any one any good with grub available ?
[18:49] <bitbyte> well summary of the issue is on : http://pastebin.com/9rvUhbPv
[18:52] <sarnold> bitbyte: I don't actually see any problems / questions..
[18:54] <bitbyte> sorry most the details are in the pastebin link, i’ve added it in grub and now when the server reboot now bypasses grub and goes straight to booting and still can’t find the keyfile to unlock the encrypted LVM
[18:59] <sarnold> why bother with encrypted filesystems if the key is stored on the machine?
[19:02] <bitbyte> the first I would say its good security practice to have it encrypted, the second I work away alot and oftern need to reboot the server, thirdly this is a dry run for putting the keyfile on a USB stick so the final prodcut is as long as USB is plugged in itll boot into the OS
[19:02] <bitbyte> there are other reasons which i’m not going to get into but for the moment i’m a little stuck with grub
[19:12] <pythonista> Tried to change the mysql directory, cannot get either mysql or apparmor to restart: http://askubuntu.com/questions/490075/error-restarting-apparmor-while-changing-mysql-data-directory
[19:42] <frogblue> 'lo sry to ask but do you know any serious channel where I could have answer with apache2 directives. httpd channel seems like more a bash channel than anything else...
[19:46] <rbasak> !ask|frogblue
[19:47] <frogblue> rbasak, well the question is there, maybe not well written, I concede..
[19:50] <lordievader> frogblue: I guess what rbasak means is that you can ask your apache questions here. Who knows perhaps someone has the answer ;)
[19:51] <frogblue> didn't want to bother you with apache2 questions but if you invite me, ty then
[19:52] <frogblue> I have several vhosts. each sites have an admin backend. I'd like to force http://site/admin to https://site/admin
[19:53] <frogblue> without htaccess
[19:54] <frogblue> I tried redirectmatch but i can only do redirectmatch (.*)/admin https://tld/admin  what i would like to do is something like redirectmatch (.*)/admin https://$1/admin but the backreference doesn't catch the tld aparently
[19:55] <lordievader> frogblue: For as far as I know, what you want can be accomplished with apache's rewrite rules. However, I know next to nothing about apache's rewrite rules. But I'm sure someone else can help you with that ;)
[19:56] <frogblue> so the last answer I had on #httpd was you must not use redirectmatch but you can do what you want to achieve
[19:56] <frogblue> hence my coming here where I regurlarly read more sensible answers :)
[19:56] <frogblue> lordievader, ty
[20:05] <rbasak> frogblue: can you not just do one per domain? Why must your (.*) catch the domain name also?
[20:05] <rbasak> frogblue: you can have per-virtualhost redirects
[20:06] <frogblue> yeah am reading the redirects only right now. of course I can write one line per vhost but am intersting i n knowing if I can use a "catch for all" thing
[20:07] <frogblue> meaning that only file would be needed to force site1/admin site 2/admin... site1000/admin to https://siten/admin
[20:08] <rbasak> I got the impression virtualhost level was the highest level you could go for this sort of thing. But I'm not an expert in this area.
[20:08] <frogblue> same for me :)
[20:10] <SpinDoct0r> Does anybody have an experience troubleshooting 802.3ad network card bonding in Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS. It claims to be up but will not send traffic.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/7728111/
[20:15] <blaaa> I am thinking about installing some web/php-based management tools (e.g. phpldapadmin)
[20:16] <blaaa> Is it good practice to use the packages in the repositories, or is it better to install packages like this manually into a php-environment (from the repository)
[20:18] <genii> blaaa: Best practice is to use the repository packages, since if there are any crucial security updates, they can be applied.
[20:18] <PryMar56> blaaa, of course the repo packages use standard locations and file extensions. This makes it easy for outsiders to target your setup files and try and get usefil info
[20:20] <frogblue> rbasak, RewriteEngine On
[20:20] <frogblue> RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
[20:20] <frogblue> RewriteRule ^/?administrator(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/administrator/$1 [R,L]
[20:20] <frogblue> this works. tooko me 9 freaking hours to get there...
[20:31] <blaaa> genii: Yes, maintenance-wise it's a bit more straightforward, but If there are any patches, theyr would be easily applied manually to the manual packages as well, maybe even faster if I'd keep a close watch on mailing lists etc
[20:32] <lordievader> blaaa: That's manual work. Why not let apt do the updates for you ;)
[20:32] <blaaa> PryMar56: I suppose using packages like this at all is the greates risk, but managing ldap from the command line can be a pain (for me at least)
[20:32] <lordievader> If I know one thing, its that sysadmins are lazy :P
[20:33] <blaaa> lierdievader: yes, true :)
[20:34] <blaaa> I have picked 14.04 lts for the lts part, so why wouldn;t I use that
[21:55] <Jeeves_Moss> how do I setup circular logging on a bind server for queries
[22:45] <Monotoko> anyone got any idea at all why different servers of mine keep rebooting into memtest?
[22:46] <Monotoko> I can't find any documentation of this behaviour
[22:46] <sarnold> Monotoko: a goofy / broken grub configuration seems likely
[22:47] <Monotoko> sarnold, it just randomly reboots... without me touching it, the one time I've seen it happen it's said "Ctrl Alt Del pressed"
[22:47] <Monotoko> when I reboot it again, it's fine
[22:48] <sarnold> Monotoko: I wonder if some process is writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger
[22:48] <sarnold> Monotoko: or maybe yo'uve got a noisy/busted usb hub or keyboard?
[22:49] <Monotoko> sarnold, it's virtual
[22:49] <Monotoko> no keyboard there to hit
[22:49] <Monotoko> i've only ever had it open when it's done it once
[22:49] <sarnold> Monotoko: on crazy.
[22:49] <sarnold> Monotoko: check the /etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf file -- you can disable to sysrq interface, that might do the trick
[22:50] <sarnold> Monotoko: but it'd be best to figure out why it's happening. maybe you could use auditd to watch /proc/sysrq-trigger?
[22:50] <Monotoko> il have a look... cheers, it took my primary nameserver out today so I'm just intent on stopping it happening on my important systems atm
[22:50] <sarnold> yikes.
[22:50] <Monotoko> I will see if I can figure out why on a test system
[23:04] <tiblock> Hi. In what version a2ensite/a2dissite/a2enmod/a2dismod scripts was invented? I fail to find that information in google
[23:05] <sarnold> tiblock: they've been there since lucid at least: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=a2ensite&mode=&suite=lucid&arch=any
[23:06] <tiblock> sarnold, thank you
[23:12] <Patrickdk> even longer :)
[23:12] <Patrickdk> they where around in 7.04
[23:13] <sarnold> it feels like they've been around for ever but I don't have the tools or data to figure it out :) heh
