gjpminingcohey all i am needing some major help00:00
gjpminingcoI have a Server running Ubuntu Server 14.04, I have my Internet coming in on port em1 with a static IP, I want to Give Inet access to all my hardware on my switch that is connected to my server via em2 and i had it working but now after trying to install a dhcp server for all non static ip hardware i have lost internet access for my hardware on my switch00:02
sarnoldgjpminingco: check your IPs on your interfaces, routing tables, iptables rules, and ip_forwarding sysctl..00:07
gjpminingcois there anyway i can keep my system from loosing it's Static IP every time i restart00:13
sarnoldgjpminingco: set the ip in /etc/network/interfaces ?00:14
gjpminingcothanks00:16
gjpminingcoanyone any good at setting up ICS on ubuntu server and Also setting up DHCPD to run also00:24

sarnoldgjpminingco: ah. you probably want to research iptables snat -- the nicest description of snat and dnat I've seen so far is here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/iptables-dnat-snat-and-masquerading-264649/#post1341452 -- but perhaps there are better guides :)00:58
sarnoldgjpminingco: I'm lazy enough I'd probably try shorewall frontend first :)00:59
Patrickdk:)01:04
Patrickdksarnold, it's required, when you have like 20+ vlans, and vpn's and other crap all going on in the same box01:04
Patrickdkway too much to do by hand01:04
sarnoldPatrickdk: that's encouraging :) nice to hear there' ssomething that does a tolerable job with complex setups :)01:05
Patrickdkya, my first attempt at it was nice :)01:06
Patrickdka xen machine, like 5 different internal bridges, two external nics, and 6 vpn's01:06
Patrickdkdifferent vpn's where allowed different access to the internal bridges/xen clients01:06
Patrickdkcould be done by hand sure, but the mount of time for a simple change would have been painful01:07

slompothanks sarnold03:14
sarnoldslompo: you're welcome, have fun :)03:14
slompohave people from all over the world here?03:15
slompoyou think it worth being set up a small host to host small websites and email accounts of small businesses? Or would it be better to leave it on account of the great hosts?03:20
sarnoldslompo: I suggest looking at email and web hosting differently; email is an absolutely miserable thing to host yourself but hosting your own website is not too bad03:22
sarnoldslompo: of course, handling spikes of web traffic (slashdot, daringfireball, etc.) can be pretty hard on your own, but that's not a problem most people have. keeping up on security fixes for your website software is the main task and that's also not terrible, just tedious most of the time :)03:23

liquid-silencehi all, setting up a new mail server, should I just use postfix + sql backend? or would I need to think of dovecot08:13
peetaur2postfix is a MTA... it doesn't give users their mailboxes. You need a thing like dovecot for that.08:13
liquid-silenceor courier-imap?08:14
liquid-silenceI am looking for something that does however give me the ability to create accounts via database or something08:14
liquid-silenceas it will be multi domain08:14
liquid-silencebut I also don't want to spend 10 hours when adding one account08:15
liquid-silencepeetaur2 so I presume I need to look at dovecot + postgresql?08:17
peetaur2yes probably you want a database supported by both your MTA and whichever IMAP server you choose08:17
liquid-silenceok dovecot it is, have not done this in a while though :D08:18
liquid-silencemind if I ask some more questions?08:18
fathi_anyone can help me please ?08:28
pdsany one around here that has xp with preeseeding and is will to help me out setting it up => already created the preseed file since it my first time doing so i would like to have a peerreview http://dpaste.com/1V7C29609:11
pmatulispds: what problem are you having?09:14
pdswell i would like to know how i can test it out09:15
pdsand if the preseed file is out09:15
pdsand if the preseed file is correct *09:15
peetaur2pds: I put mine in the initrd on the netboot server09:16
peetaur2pds: but that means you need a whole new initrd for each uniquely configured machine, rather than just a new preseed for each machine09:17
peetaur2pds: which is fine for me... so if that's fine for you, I can tell you how to do that09:17
pmatulisnot many people are willing to comb a preseed file.  best is to try it, try to fix any resulting error, and then ask here if you need help09:17
pmatulispds: ↑09:17
pdsit may be a better idea if i can swap the preseed files at will, but at this moment i just want to get a PoC working09:18
pdsso let the beast go, and let's go nuts09:21
peetaur2pds: so I don't know if you want it but if you do, here's what I do to pack the preseed into the initrd http://pastebin.com/iXDPDssb09:23
pdswhat would be the effect of this?09:25
peetaur2anything booting from your netboot will use the preseed09:27
peetaur2assuming you set the dirs right ;)09:28
pdsspoiler: brace yourself newbie questions related to pxe booting and preseeding incomming09:29
ed8hi, I'm working on a systemd services and when I try to run: systemctl daemon-reload09:30

ed8I'm running on a 14.0409:31
pdsi would like to pxe boot a ubuntu server 14.04LTS with the seed file i wrote http://dpaste.com/1V7C296.  After that i would like to use ansible do some configuration files.09:32
pdsso a) how can i pxeboot the server, b) how can i couple the preseed file that i wrote to do it's business (automate the installation) and c) how can i provide a custom script at the end to wget the ansible stuff and let it spin09:34
=== Den_Beiren is now known as DenBeiren
pmatulispds: netbooting, preseeding, and custom installation scripts is a big topic.  you will get better help here if you do some research beforehand09:53
pdsdid so see resources09:56
maxbpds: I had a quick look at your preseed.cfg paste. I quickly stopped looking at it because it was so mired in commented out stuff, I couldn't easily see the functional bits. In any case, preseed setup always ends up requiring actual testing. It's sadly not practical to expect to write a preseed which works first time09:58
peetaur2he actually did quote resources before, which had all the steps...09:58
peetaur2not sure why he didn't try them :D09:58
peetaur2(yesterday I think)09:58
maxbSo, test it, and come back with questions if you can't solve how it breaks! :-)09:58
pdsfor petes sakes how do i test in the first place09:59
peetaur2pds: Yesterday, you linked http://digitalsanctum.com/2013/03/22/how-to-setup-a-pxe-server-on-ubuntu/ and I linked http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/automated-remote-installs-of-ubuntu-using-kickstart-802660/10:01
peetaur2pds: and then I said those are fine, but use pressed instead of kickstart10:02
peetaur2and you already have a preseed file, so just put it in the initrd, skip thte kickstart steps (which makes the web server obsolete also), and then try it, and come back with errors and confusion, but not just "please tell me all the steps on IRC" ... these guides already do that fine.10:02
maxbpds: You test by attempting to run an installation10:03
maxb"Try it out and see if it works" is a pretty simple testing methodology :-)10:03
peetaur2yes10:05
peetaur2and then you are welcome to come back with any errors or questions to resolve confusion10:05
peetaur2but IRC is really not the place for pasting howtos10:06
peetaur2howtos for very specific things, sure... but not for general things where the only specific part is your preseed file10:06
pmatulispds: truth be told, this stuff can be confusing due to the different ways to achieve preseeding.  are your targets virtual or real?10:37

LarsNwhen using preseed to automate pxe installs of 12.04, I'm running into a small catch.  I have the following entry in my preseed file: d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US14:04
LarsN however the installer still pauses, waiting for me to specify which country I'm in.14:04
LarsNIs the solution as simple as adding: d-i debian-installer/country string US14:04
LarsNwhich I would have thought to be redundant?  Or is there another setting I need to include to get past the country string.14:05

aandyhi, anyone who has experience with carp on ubuntu? i'm using ucarp, but my question is general: i have a simple setup of advskew for master/slave of 1 and 100. it works as expected (slave takes over as master fails), but master regains the ip "too fast" (i.e. before a service has been started). which parameter is it i'm suppose to change to let the master be online for a bit longer before gaining the ip again18:18
