| blackyboy | Hi everyone, i have setuped a RAID 10 , what i did is first setuped a RAID 1 with 2 disks and then setuped a RAID 0 with 2 disks and combine both by using mdadm --create /dev/md10 --level=10 ---metadata=1.00 --raid-devices=2 /dev/md0 /dev/md1 is this ok or the procedure is wrong ? | 12:23 |
| maxb | My guess would be that it is wrong and has actually given you a md10 device half the size you would actually expect. | 12:28 |
| maxb | Oh, wait, I just noticed what you actually said | 12:29 |
| maxb | You actually have a nonsense Frankenstein raid layout there | 12:30 |
| blackyboy | oh | 12:30 |
| maxb | get rid of it all and just ask mdadm to create a raid 10 over 4 physical disks | 12:31 |
| blackyboy | ok fine | 12:32 |
| maxb | If you were actually composing a raid 10 out of 0s and 1s, you would create two raid 1s of two disks, and then combine those in a raid 0 | 12:33 |

| FuXXz | Hello, i need help pls! can anyone help with a problem with my ubuntu and my openssh server? i changed a working path for a user in /etc/passwd and now i get access denied errors with every user. Also root is denied | 14:26 |
| maxb | You'd need to explain in more detail what you changed for people to be able to guess what might be broken | 14:29 |
| maxb | At the moment my best guess would be you accidentally broke the format of /etc/passwd | 14:30 |
| * lordievader starts to wonder if login is broken when /etc/passwd is borked. | 14:30 | |
| maxb | Well, if it can't look up the details of the user you're trying to log in as, I'd assume so :-) | 14:31 |
| lordievader | I figured as much... | 14:31 |
| FuXXz | yes the forma i think, i edited it with the plesk power panel editor! but i read never to do this, always use vipw | 14:32 |
| FuXXz | there was a passwd- also, i just recovered it now and it works | 14:33 |
| FuXXz | but how can i solve it, i have to change the path from a user! but every time i edit my passwd, all logins are broken :( this are the errors http://pastebin.com/bUj3d6DZ | 14:35 |
| lordievader | FuXXz: Use the correct format ;) | 14:35 |
| lordievader | FuXXz: Are you editing this from Windows? | 14:36 |
| FuXXz | this doesnt help me :( i only open it in editor and save it! | 14:36 |
| FuXXz | in parallels power panel for the vserver | 14:36 |
| FuXXz | there is a file web based file browser | 14:37 |
| lordievader | FuXXz: Looks to me like Windows end-lines are used '/bin/bash\r'. | 14:37 |
| maxb | Avoid using broken tools, and you won't have a problem :-) | 14:37 |
| lordievader | Use vim or nano, they are great editors :) | 14:38 |
| FuXXz | so use vim, nano etc. with my ssh user to edit it ? | 14:38 |
| FuXXz | ah ok | 14:38 |
| maxb | Or better still use tools like usermod to directly change attributes of users without needing a text editor | 14:39 |
| lordievader | Also if your /etc/passwd is now tainted with Windows end-lines you'd have to revert that back to Unix end-lines. | 14:39 |
| FuXXz | i start learning linux server 1 week ago, so as windows user i dont like the shell. it is hard for me to navigate in a filesystem you dont know well :) | 14:40 |
| FuXXz | if you know where are all the files you have to edit, its ok. but i have to browse and insect all the directories, files etc and therefor a real file browser and editor is nice | 14:41 |
| lordievader | FuXXz: The Linux file hierachy is quite logical, after a while you know where a file will probably be. | 14:44 |
| qman__ | if the package adheres to FHS anyway - plesk isn't going to | 14:46 |
| Patrickdk | heh? locate? find? heh, all you need :) | 14:47 |

| blackyboy | Hi please verify my raid setup, please have a look into pastebin. http://paste.ubuntu.com/8591275/ | 16:34 |
| kevindf | if i set certain folders to for example 777 rights to access them with filezilla it is risky right? | 16:46 |
| blackyboy | kevindf: every were its accessible and its 100% risky | 16:47 |
| kevindf | what would be a good way to do it, in order to be able to export certain files with filezilla for example my openvpn keys in /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys? | 16:48 |
| kevindf | or would just copy'ing the files out of that directory to for example home and then get them from filezilla for example be better | 16:48 |
| kevindf | Does the Nagios monitoring software use alot of resources on a server? | 16:59 |
| kevindf | As I would like to monitor my server on a regular basis preferebally trough a web interface just for testing purposes, but as i'm hosting a teamspeak server on it also and my server isn't the best of the best i'd like to know if installing Nagios would take alot of my server hardware resources | 17:00 |
| Patrickdk | it can | 17:00 |
| kevindf | So it's not really suggested to run on a server that's being ran on a "old pc"? | 17:01 |
| Patrickdk | depends :) | 17:02 |
| kevindf | depends on what factors? :D | 17:04 |

| gordonjcp | evening | 17:55 |
| gordonjcp | is there a way to remove every old unused kernel from grub? | 17:56 |
| gordonjcp | this is on a VM image that cannot be booted, because apt-get dist-upgrade has corrupted grub2 | 17:56 |
| Patrickdk | that isn't a solution though | 17:59 |
| gordonjcp | oh, I see this is an old bug that has been around since 12.04 | 18:02 |
| bekks | gordonjcp: Uninstall unneeded kernels - you can boot witha live cd. | 18:02 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: hm, I'm not sure how well that would work | 18:03 |
| gordonjcp | I guess I could look at booting the install kernel and ramdisk as if I was doing an install | 18:03 |
| bekks | In that case, booting a live cd is more easy. | 18:04 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: how do I do that? | 18:04 |
| bekks | Insert a live cd, and boot it. | 18:04 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: insert it into what? | 18:04 |
| gordonjcp | VMs typically don't have optical media | 18:05 |
| bekks | Inte the - presumably - cd/dcd drive. | 18:05 |
| gordonjcp | :-D | 18:05 |
| bekks | And VMs normally do have a virtualizzed cd/dvd drive. | 18:05 |
| gordonjcp | at that, none of my *physical* hardware has optical media | 18:05 |
| gordonjcp | I don't think I've seen a CD or DVD drive for ten years or more | 18:05 |
| bekks | For a VM, you dont need *physical* media. | 18:05 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: no indeed | 18:05 |
| gordonjcp | I wonder how pygrub would be persuaded to look at a CD | 18:06 |
| bekks | How is pygrub related to boot from an ISO? | 18:06 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: I don't know, that's sort of the problem | 18:07 |
| bekks | You need to boot from the iso. | 18:07 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: yes, and I'm trying to figure out how to do that just now | 18:07 |
| gordonjcp | unless you know offhand how to do that in Xen | 18:07 |
| gordonjcp | normally you'd pass the installer ramdisk and kernel in the config file and just fire it up | 18:08 |
| bekks | http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/CD_Rom_Support_in_Xen#Adding_CDROM_to_Guest | 18:08 |
| bekks | Normally, you configure your VM to have a virtualized cd/dvd. | 18:09 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: yes, I know | 18:09 |
| gordonjcp | that link doesn't really help | 18:09 |
| bekks | It does. You need to configure your VM like that. | 18:09 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: it already has a CDROM configured, from the install process | 18:10 |
| bekks | Then whats the problem at that point? | 18:10 |
| gordonjcp | I don't know at the moment how to get the boot loader to look at the CDROM | 18:10 |
| bekks | The boot loader is irrelevant. | 18:11 |
| gordonjcp | ooooooh-kaaaaay..... | 18:11 |
| bekks | Once attaching the ISO to the virtualized drive, the boot loader doesnt even start when booting from the iso. | 18:11 |
| gordonjcp | I'm sure that makes sense somewhere | 18:11 |
| bekks | It is like a real computer - with no OS installed. It boot from a bootable CD. | 18:11 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: okay, let me bring you up to speed here | 18:12 |
| gordonjcp | I've been using virtual machines since before Linux supported virtualisation | 18:12 |
| gordonjcp | the *immediate* problem is that I've run into a two-year-old bug which is more in pygrub than anything else | 18:12 |
| gordonjcp | where it doesn't understand what Ubuntu does when you update and it installs a new kernel | 18:13 |
| gordonjcp | I'm well aware of how VMs work | 18:13 |
| gordonjcp | the immediate problem is that the "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" dance results in a broken system | 18:13 |
| bekks | Then whats the actuall issue you are facing? Whatrs the output of those commands? | 18:15 |
| bekks | And why cant you fix your grub from a live and repair the broken kernel stuff? | 18:16 |
| gordonjcp | well, a better fix would be finding a way to prevent normal updates from killing the system | 18:16 |
| bekks | That would be the second step. :) | 18:17 |
| gordonjcp | whatever happens when you update the kernel, it utterly ruins grub2 | 18:17 |
| gordonjcp | at least as far as Xen is concerned | 18:17 |
| gordonjcp | I guess I should upgrade to 10.04 | 18:50 |
| gordonjcp | this 14.04 install is infected with systemd | 18:51 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: That is hardly the case. | 18:52 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: meh, this is all stuff that *used to* work | 18:53 |
| rww | wut | 18:53 |
| rww | 14.04 doesn't come with systemd... | 18:53 |
| gordonjcp | then why is systemd running? | 18:53 |
| rww | what's the actual process name? | 18:53 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: Do you run 14.10? | 18:53 |
| gordonjcp | no, 14.04 | 18:54 |
| rww | because if you're on 14.04 and haven't done something fun like add a systemd PPA, systemd is *not in the archive* | 18:54 |
| lordievader | It is installed/available there since udev requires it. But 14.04 does not have systemd. | 18:54 |
| gordonjcp | 460 ? Ss 0:01 /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd --daemon | 18:54 |
| gordonjcp | 669 ? Ss 0:00 /lib/systemd/systemd-logind | 18:54 |
| gordonjcp | excuse the past | 18:54 |
| gordonjcp | *paste | 18:54 |
| rww | that's udev, which has been around forever, and logind, which is needed by various desktop environments these days | 18:54 |
| rww | if systemd itself were running, PID 1 would be named systemd | 18:55 |
| gordonjcp | why would a server need stuff from a desktop environment? | 18:55 |
| gordonjcp | rww: oh, okay, handy to know | 18:55 |
| rww | I have no idea why logind is running, indeed. | 18:56 |
| rww | I'll leave that to someone who's wrangled 14.04 on servers more than me :) | 18:56 |
| gordonjcp | well, even 12.04 isn't a solution, because updating blows up Xen there too | 18:56 |
| stetho | Hi - does anyone have any experience of creating a kickstart file for 14.04? I've been hacking away at it all weekend and experiencing the same problem. As the install proceeds it stops and asks me to create a user. I've tried every variation on the d-i passwd/username string section that I've found but I get the same results. I never had this problem in 12.04. | 19:32 |
| gordonjcp | stetho: yes | 19:33 |
| gordonjcp | give me a minute while I finish making this coffee | 19:34 |
| gordonjcp | I have just the very thing | 19:34 |
| stetho | gordonjcp: Thank you. | 19:34 |
| gordonjcp | stetho: http://gjcp.net/~gordonjcp/preseed.cfg | 19:37 |
| gordonjcp | stetho: that actually contains a preseed for setting up a server on Xen | 19:37 |
| gordonjcp | but it should run pretty much fully unattended | 19:38 |
| gordonjcp | you'll see it shows how to create a root user with a password included in the preseed file, and how to create a normal user with a crypted password | 19:38 |
| stetho | Thanks - I'll give it a try now. Although it does look like everything else I've tried! | 19:39 |
| === bilde2910 is now known as bilde2910|away | ||
| stetho | gordonjcp: Same thing. It's stopped to ask me for a user name. Any suggestions why this might be happening to me? | 19:50 |
| gordonjcp | hm | 19:54 |
| gordonjcp | stetho: not offhand | 19:54 |
| gordonjcp | stetho: can you pastebin *exactly* what it's asking you? | 19:56 |
| stetho | gordonjcp: No need - it's the standard "set up users and passwords" screen with the "Full name of the new user:" - it not an obscure screen or message which is why I can't figure out what's wrong! :-) | 19:58 |
| gordonjcp | okay, so after a bit of experimentation, updating and then removing the "old" kernel files doesn't fix my problem | 20:18 |
| gordonjcp | just to recap, on a Xen DomU doing "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" and allowing it to update the kernel package corrupts grub beyond repair | 20:18 |
| gordonjcp | okay, I'm out of ideas | 20:22 |
| gordonjcp | is there a way to prevent Ubuntu from ever allowing any updates at all? | 20:23 |
| bekks | Dont update. Which is not recommended. | 20:29 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: incredible | 20:30 |
| gordonjcp | that bouncing guy is getting annoying | 20:30 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: Is it the installing of the kernel or the trigger of update-grub? | 20:37 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: it appears to be something to do with it moving old kernels to a submenu | 20:37 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: You can disable that ;) And you can file a bug against it. | 20:40 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: how do I disable it? | 20:40 |
| lordievader | It is likely a script in /etc/grub.d/, find the one responsible and take away its execution rights. | 20:42 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: I have no idea where to start in that mess | 20:42 |
| lordievader | Or modify the script as disabling might do more harm than good. | 20:43 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: I think I'll just remove grub altogether | 20:45 |
| gordonjcp | and try lilo or something | 20:45 |
| gordonjcp | or possibly just write a new bootloader | 20:45 |
| gordonjcp | instead of dealing with this tangled mess | 20:45 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: Writing a grub config really isn't difficult. | 20:46 |
| lordievader | But please do file a bug anyways. | 20:46 |
| lordievader | Else it will never get the chance of being fixed. | 20:46 |
| gordonjcp | haaaaaaang on | 20:46 |
| gordonjcp | "GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU" appears in the grub binary | 20:46 |
| gordonjcp | not anywhere in the grub documentation though | 20:46 |
| gordonjcp | yay for reverse-engineering proprietary software | 20:47 |

| rww | or ##fix_your_connection, I forget which | 20:48 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: Grub is GNU GPLv3, nothing proprietary about it. | 20:48 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: meh, undocumented, only binary available | 20:48 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: You can also do what I do with my Gentoo systems. Make a static config and disable the dynamic config scripts. | 20:49 |
| rww | except the source is available and licensed under GPLv3, so... | 20:51 |
| gordonjcp | just as a matter of interest, is there a reason why Ubuntu no longer supports virtualisation? | 20:52 |
| lordievader | They don't? | 20:52 |
| * rww blinks | 20:52 | |
| bekks | Since when? | 20:52 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: it hasn't worked properly since 13.04 | 20:52 |
| bekks | It works perfectly here since 8.04 | 20:53 |
| gordonjcp | you can't used bridged networks on desktop machines any more | 20:53 |
| bekks | You can. | 20:53 |
| * lordievader runs serveral vm's just fine since 12.04 | 20:53 | |
| phunyguy | ... | 20:53 |
| bekks | I am currently writing from such a setup. | 20:53 |
| gordonjcp | so, that stuffs using various things | 20:53 |
| lordievader | My vm's use bridged networking. | 20:53 |
| bekks | Mine too. | 20:53 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: on a 14.04 deskop, with bridged networking? | 20:53 |
| bekks | Yes. | 20:53 |
| gordonjcp | okay, how? | 20:53 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: No on a 14.04 server. But I suppose running a desktop on top makes no difference. | 20:54 |
| bekks | I just installed virtualbox. | 20:54 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: KVM :D | 20:54 |
| phunyguy | gordonjcp: 14.04 supports bridging within network manager as well | 20:54 |
| phunyguy | has for quite a while | 20:54 |
| gordonjcp | phunyguy: if you set it up as per normal in /etc/network/interfaces it doesn't work | 20:55 |
| phunyguy | gordonjcp: then don't do it that way... considering desktop machines use networkmanager instead | 20:55 |
| gordonjcp | that's too complicated | 20:55 |
| phunyguy | or uninstall networkmanager | 20:55 |
| phunyguy | really? | 20:55 |
| bekks | Using bridges with vbox doesnt even need any configuration but in the vm settings. | 20:55 |
| * lordievader has bridge devices configured in /etc/network/interfaces | 20:55 | |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: that works on servers, not on desktops | 20:56 |
| gordonjcp | or, more annoying, laptops | 20:56 |
| bekks | So you are referring to "bridging with wifi interfaces". | 20:56 |
| phunyguy | gordonjcp: http://i.imgur.com/ni3WmLL.png | 20:56 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: any network interface | 20:56 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: although being able to use wifi would be nice | 20:56 |
| bekks | And thats not an Ubuntu issue, but an issue of the manufacturers not supporting bridging. | 20:56 |
| phunyguy | bridging with wifi works in networkmanager | 20:57 |
| gordonjcp | phunyguy: I have no idea what I'm looking at | 20:57 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: I also had it on my desktop for a while. | 20:57 |
| phunyguy | gordonjcp: bridge config in networkmanager | 20:57 |
| gordonjcp | phunyguy: I can't really deal with GUIs for various reasons | 20:57 |
| phunyguy | so drop it. | 20:57 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: My Kubuntu install still has those settings. | 20:57 |
| gordonjcp | there's some boxes, I can't figure out what they are | 20:57 |
| phunyguy | also, you are in #ubuntu-server. | 20:58 |
| gordonjcp | phunyguy: because the immediate fire is in an ubuntu server | 20:58 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: Debian has a guide somewhere on bridging wlan devices. | 20:58 |
| phunyguy | so why are you worried about network-manager or desktops? | 20:58 |
| gordonjcp | phunyguy: because until 14.04 landed I could use VMs on my laptop, and now I can't | 20:59 |
| phunyguy | then ask in #ubuntu. | 20:59 |
| phunyguy | but it works. | 20:59 |
| gordonjcp | well, I *can*, but not if I want sane networking | 20:59 |
| gordonjcp | that's a separate problem thouigh | 20:59 |
| === mfisch is now known as Guest4574 | ||
| phunyguy | if you don't want to configure virtualization properly on a desktop, then you shouldn't do it. | 21:00 |
| gordonjcp | phunyguy: forget desktops for the moment | 21:00 |
| lordievader | That applies to everything ;) | 21:00 |
| gordonjcp | phunyguy: I solved the problem by upgrading to 12.04 | 21:00 |
| gordonjcp | when that goes out of support I guess I'll have to figure something else out | 21:01 |
| learning | Hi, I am running a program that by default creates log and pid in /var/log and /var/run . It is advised not to run as root. Should I create a user which has no home dir and has not login? and set file permission to this user so that log and pid can be created? | 21:01 |
| phunyguy | ok. | 21:01 |
| gordonjcp | phunyguy: right now, I need to work out why updating clobbers grub in such a way that my DomU cannot boot any more | 21:01 |
| phunyguy | good luck. | 21:01 |
| gordonjcp | phunyguy: that is the most useful thing anyone has come up with so far | 21:02 |
| gordonjcp | phunyguy: it appears the answer is to never, *ever* allow Ubuntu to update | 21:03 |
| phunyguy | :) :) :) :) :) | 21:03 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: Find out what is causing it and file a bug. (And preferrably a work around for the time being) | 21:04 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: I have no idea what is causing it | 21:04 |
| gordonjcp | some weird undocumented grub thing | 21:04 |
| gordonjcp | there is no workaround | 21:04 |
| gordonjcp | the bootloader is corrupted beyond repair | 21:04 |
| phunyguy | sounds like ubuntu isn't the issue. | 21:04 |
| phunyguy | :| | 21:05 |
| gordonjcp | doesn't do it on anything else | 21:05 |
| phunyguy | different version of grub? | 21:05 |
| gordonjcp | *apparently* something to do with submenus | 21:05 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: I have already told you everything you need to know to find out where the cause is. | 21:05 |
| phunyguy | there may already be an upstream bug but ubuntu lags a little behind with versions | 21:05 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: I've also given advice on a possible workaround. | 21:05 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: okay, I have no idea how to create a static file | 21:06 |
| gordonjcp | there's nothing left to describe what would go in it | 21:06 |
| gordonjcp | just a couple of meg of undocumented uncommented shell script where there should be a fairly simple boot loader | 21:06 |
| gordonjcp | what's really weird is that I have another VM that appears to have the same config files, that works just fine | 21:08 |
| phunyguy | sounds like a not ubuntu problem but a grub problem... like I already said. If it works on other distros, check the grub version, and maybe find out differences, or search out upstream bugs. The fix may need to be backported. | 21:08 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: It is. Read /boot/grub/grub.cfg see what options it defines for booting your kernel. Copy that to /etc/grub.d/40_custom, disable the automatic grub probes. Make a backup of /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Run update-grub2. Reboot. | 21:09 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: there isn't anything that looks remotely like sense in /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 21:10 |
| gordonjcp | certainly nothing that looks like a kernel line | 21:10 |
| lordievader | When that works, make a symlink in /boot to your kernel and initram fs, for example kubuntu-{kernel,initrd} and let your custom config point to that. | 21:11 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: Scroll down ;) | 21:11 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: there is nothing there | 21:11 |
| gordonjcp | pages and pages of bash scrool | 21:11 |
| gordonjcp | about 10MB worth | 21:12 |
| phunyguy | that doesn't sound right | 21:12 |
| phunyguy | update-grub does what? | 21:12 |
| gordonjcp | there is nothing resembling a kernel line anywhere | 21:12 |
| gordonjcp | phunyguy: does what you'd expect, when you run it | 21:12 |
| gordonjcp | "Found linux image <blah>" a couple of times | 21:12 |
| phunyguy | cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep linux | 21:13 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: Exactly bash... | 21:13 |
| learning | Anybody to suggest? | 21:14 |
| phunyguy | learning: to answer your question: yes | 21:17 |
| gordonjcp | oh well, thanks anyway | 21:21 |
| phunyguy | you're welcome | 21:21 |
| gordonjcp | I'm just going to pull the config files and stuff off and nuke and pave | 21:22 |
| lordievader | At the very least file a bug. | 21:22 |
| gordonjcp | doubtless it'll happen again soon but hopefully it won't be on something important | 21:22 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: wouldn't know where to start with that | 21:22 |
| gordonjcp | I have no clear idea of what is actually causing it | 21:23 |
| gordonjcp | so what do I file the bug against? | 21:23 |
| gordonjcp | *probably* grub, but who knows | 21:23 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: ubuntu-bug grub2 | 21:23 |
| learning | phunygun: In that case, how the program will connects to that application on unix socket (This application is run by user that has no home dir and login). Should I change mod to allow read permission on that unix socket? | 21:23 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: I won't do that right away | 21:24 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: when I've got some time I'll see if I can deliberately provoke it into happening and see what changes | 21:24 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: yay for LVM snapshots | 21:24 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: Do you have /boot on lvm? | 21:25 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: not as far as the DomU is concerned | 21:25 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: Then it ain't grub. | 21:25 |
| gordonjcp | lordievader: xvda is an LVM volume but obviously the DomU just sees that as any disk | 21:26 |
| lordievader | gordonjcp: Ah in such a way, never mind. | 21:26 |
| gordonjcp | puppet and preseed to the rescue | 21:28 |
| learning | I have set ownership of /var/run/postgresql to postgres:postgres . But after restart, I don't find this directory | 22:15 |
| learning | How can I ensure that after restart this directory stays | 22:15 |
| ruben23 | hi guys i would like to check for some config starting with IN on a linux directory..how do i command it..? | 22:44 |
