| sync0pate | is administering your own mail server as much hassle as it seems? | 00:22 |
|---|---|---|
| sync0pate | I only really need it for my own personal e-mail | 00:22 |
| sync0pate | and it's proving to be a pain trying to get anything working. | 00:22 |
| LinStatSDR | Sometimes, setting up very small services such as that is more of a hassle than just using gmail | 00:23 |
| sync0pate | I don't like gmail. | 00:24 |
| sync0pate | I want to use my own domain. | 00:24 |
| sync0pate | but it is seeming like such a hassle. | 00:24 |
| sync0pate | I don't understand why setting up a web server (or a million other types of server) is so easy | 00:25 |
| LinStatSDR | Do you have a static ip or you using dydns | 00:25 |
| sync0pate | static | 00:25 |
| LinStatSDR | That's good then. | 00:25 |
| sync0pate | and yet mail.. which is so ubiquitous | 00:25 |
| sync0pate | seems impossible | 00:25 |
| LinStatSDR | I can assure you it is possible. :D | 00:25 |
| sync0pate | I've just been trying it out on a temporary digitalocean vps at the moment | 00:25 |
| qman__ | running a mail server is kind of a big deal compared to most basic services | 00:28 |
| qman__ | but it's not impossible | 00:28 |
| LinStatSDR | Have you consulted the "youtube". | 00:28 |
| qman__ | I followed the vmail tutorial linked in the server guide to set mine up, and I put up scrollout F1 in front of it for spam filtering | 00:29 |
| LinStatSDR | err, "the youtube" rather lol | 00:29 |
| qman__ | make sure you set up your SPF records, and make sure you use a good spam filtering system | 00:29 |
| qman__ | and you won't have too much trouble | 00:30 |
| qman__ | unfortunately I haven't had much luck upgrading my mail server | 00:31 |
| qman__ | it's still running lucid and a release upgrade breaks my mail config | 00:31 |
| qman__ | so I'll probably have to set up a new one | 00:31 |
| LinStatSDR | :( | 00:33 |
| qman__ | but that's why I have KVM and snapshots | 00:34 |

| sync0pate | consulted youtube? | 00:35 |
| sync0pate | for server things? | 00:35 |
| sync0pate | no, I've not. | 00:36 |
| sync0pate | I hate video tutorials of this kind of thing. | 00:36 |
| qman__ | I would not consult youtube either | 00:36 |
| qman__ | I would follow the server guide | 00:36 |
| sync0pate | the server guide? | 00:36 |
| qman__ | yes | 00:36 |
| qman__ | it's in the topic | 00:37 |
| sync0pate | Yeah.. I'll maybe start again with that tomorrow | 00:37 |
| sync0pate | give it one last shot | 00:37 |
| LinStatSDR | Give it more than that, otherwise you would have just wasted the time you've spent thus far. | 00:38 |
| sync0pate | so better to waste more? | 00:38 |
| sync0pate | got it. | 00:38 |
| sync0pate | lol | 00:38 |
| LinStatSDR | Better than giving up dude. | 00:38 |
| sync0pate | there are plenty of times when it's better to just give up. | 00:39 |
| sync0pate | I can't spend too long on it tomorrow | 00:39 |
| sync0pate | I have actual work to do too | 00:40 |
| LinStatSDR | Just poke at it every now and then when you have time :D | 00:40 |
| qman__ | the configuration to make it function is not too difficult | 00:41 |
| qman__ | the anti-spam is the hard part | 00:41 |
| sync0pate | spamassassin? | 00:41 |
| qman__ | which is why I chose to stand up scrollout F1 in front of it | 00:41 |
| LinStatSDR | I vote exchange server in this case | 00:42 |

| MarkDenz | I got an abuse notification from my hoster (and some org) that a small server of mine answers SSDP requests and I should look that nobody abuses this.

| MarkDenz | patdk-wk_: testing services with other VMs | 13:23 |
| MarkDenz | patdk-wk_: should make it only available internally I guess | 13:24 |
| patdk-wk_ | what does upnp have to do with that? | 13:24 |
| MarkDenz | testing upnp discovery within the network | 13:24 |

| ac_slater_ | hey guys. I have a lab of machines currently running 12.04 LTS server. Upon boot, /tmp fails to mount and I get a scary option to boot a single-user root shell without a password. This is awful. Any clue what provides this? BUSYBOX=Y in initramfs.conf ? | 16:20 |
| lordievader | ac_slater_: It's single user mode, you can also boot it by appending the 'single' kernel parameter. | 16:24 |
| ac_slater_ | lordievader: right, I disable this via grub2 | 16:28 |
| ac_slater_ | but yes, it can still be done | 16:29 |
| ac_slater_ | I'd just rather not have a prompt for it | 16:29 |
| lordievader | ac_slater_: A prompt for what? | 16:29 |
| ac_slater_ | lordievader: when /tmp can be mounted... I get 'Press R for root shell' ... or something like that | 16:30 |
| ac_slater_ | maybe, 'Press R for manual recovery' | 16:30 |
| lordievader | ac_slater_: Is it defined in /etc/fstab? | 16:30 |
| ac_slater_ | yes | 16:31 |
| ac_slater_ | I've fixed the actual issue (which is well documented) ... but I'd just like to disable any prompting for root anything | 16:31 |
| ac_slater_ | whether that is fixing upstart, disabling busybox on boot ,etc | 16:33 |
| lordievader | ac_slater_: It is not busybox, but I don't know how to disable it. (Apart from setting a root pw, but that ain't Ubuntu policy) | 16:35 |
| ac_slater_ | lordievader: I guess ill mess with /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf and other files to see. | 16:35 |
| sudormrf | sorry about that | 16:37 |
| kevindf | Hello, I've set up a OpenVPN server on my Ubuntu 14.04 home server, I can succesfully connect to the server but if my firewall is enabled I cannot get internet access, If I disable my firewall everything works completely fine. I tried adding serveral iptables but none of them worked. Obviously it has something to do with the iptables. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong? | 16:39 |
| kevindf | I do have iptables-persistent installed | 16:39 |
| lordievader | kevindf: What what it is dropping. | 16:40 |
| kevindf | So basically if I connect to the VPN with firewall disabled, my ip changes and everything works fine, but with firewall enabled I don't get a network connection on the machine connected to the vpn | 16:41 |
| kevindf | basically* | 16:41 |
| lordievader | kevindf: Checkout what the firewall is dropping... | 16:42 |
| ac_slater_ | I know this might not be appropriate, but I think I'm going to file a bug report for this. The user shouldnt be prompted for single-user mode shell in all cases. This should be configurable... and not by changing the mess that is /etc/init/* | 16:43 |
| sudormrf | there we go | 16:44 |
| kevindf | lordievader How can I check that? As i'm fairly new and experimenting with servers | 16:44 |
| lordievader | ac_slater_: I think it is by design, in this case it ain't a critical mount but suppose /lib would fail I'd like the option to fix the mess. | 16:46 |
| lordievader | kevindf: Let iptables log the dropped packets and see if it drops openvpn traffic. | 16:47 |
| ac_slater_ | lordievader: it should log and tell you to chroot in and fix | 16:51 |
| ac_slater_ | lordievader: but this isnt a perfect world. Kernel option `splash quiet` hides the prompts | 16:52 |
| lordievader | ac_slater_: Matter of opinion. | 16:52 |
| ac_slater_ | and when would /lib ever fail? People put that on a seperate FS ? | 16:52 |
| lordievader | You can... | 16:53 |
| ac_slater_ | I've never seen it | 16:53 |
| ac_slater_ | but yea you're right | 16:53 |

| sync0pate | OK, so, I have postfix set up and a mailbox working, using Sentora (zpanel) on 14.04 | 18:03 |
| sync0pate | and I want to get a catch-all e-mail working, but nothing seems to work | 18:03 |
| sync0pate | I'm getting "Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table" | 18:03 |
| sync0pate | and I've googled that and followed about 5 different sets of instructions to fix it, with no joy. | 18:04 |
| sync0pate | anyone have any idea what I can try? | 18:05 |
| avid_fan | sync0pate: I'm not familiar with zpanel, but a quick Google search returned the following: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-setup-postfix-catch-all-email-accounts/ | 18:18 |
| avid_fan | sync0pate: Seems pretty straightforward. | 18:18 |
| sync0pate | it does, doesn't it avid_fan .. | 18:19 |
| sync0pate | avid_fan, sorted it | 18:29 |
| teward | sarnold: if you're around, mind a PM? | 18:29 |
| sync0pate | following those instructions, but I had to use the entire e-mail instead of just the username | 18:30 |
| sync0pate | just in case anyone else has the same thing | 18:30 |
| sarnold | teward: sure | 18:30 |
| avid_fan | sync0pate: But that seems to work? | 18:30 |
| sync0pate | seems to | 18:31 |
| avid_fan | sync0pate: Cool. | 18:31 |
| sync0pate | with just the username it creates a mail loop (?!) | 18:31 |
| avid_fan | sync0pate: Good to know. | 18:31 |

| Plizzo | Hi there! I recently had a RAID5 crash where two of my disks broke down on the same night, leaving me with a bit of corrupted data. I’ve ran badblocks on all of the disks, which returned nil, but I also have some smart tests, and I am wondering if you could help me interpret them to find the bad disks. | 20:53 |
| nezZario | Ok folks.. I'm really not all that skilled with ubuntu servers in specific.. I actually thought this was a debian server for a few minutes .. But anywho, something has a serious issue here with dependencies, ... I really have nothing to go on here | 20:53 |
| bekks | Plizzo: USe smartctl to run the long selftests. | 20:53 |
| nezZario | http://pastie.org/private/egdrtvg7i8ansa2ek9za <-- Apt will not get past this -- upgrade, update, anything merrily tells me this must be fixed first | 20:54 |
| Plizzo | bekks: I have, and I have the log files ready. | 20:54 |
| Plizzo | bekks: Two of them are showing errors, but I just want a second opinion | 20:54 |
| bekks | If they show errors, they are broken. | 20:54 |
| bekks | :) | 20:54 |
| Plizzo | bekks: Alright, but would you mind looking at them, just for the fun of it? :P | 20:55 |
| bekks | Just pastebin them then. | 20:55 |
| Plizzo | bekks: /dev/sda: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8808108/ | 20:55 |
| nezZario | I see some mention about forcing installation of older packages but I really don't want to blindly start purging and (trying?) to install packages | 20:55 |
| Plizzo | bekks: /dev/sdc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8808123/ | 20:55 |
| bekks | nezZario: Why do you want to do that? | 20:55 |
| Plizzo | bekks: /dev/sdd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8808126/ | 20:56 |
| Plizzo | bekks: /dev/sde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8808128/ | 20:56 |
| nezZario | bekks: that's the closest thing I can find to a "solution" via googling.. some are saying purge X packages, some say install some older packages via dpkg -i | 20:56 |
| bekks | Plizzo: sdc is dead, sdd is dead, sde is dead, too. | 20:56 |
| bekks | nezZario: Why are you trying that? | 20:57 |
| Plizzo | bekks: How would you see that, to me, it only seems that sda and sdd are broken | 20:57 |
| nezZario | I'm not, I just said that. Although it does make a small amount of sense, from what I'm interpreting here, it's trying to install a new kernel image and a dependency is newer than what that package is expecting | 20:58 |
| bekks | Plizzo: Take a look at the "Seek_Error_Rate". | 20:58 |
| nezZario | As I said previously, I'm really lost otherwise, other than the fact that I can't use apt | 20:58 |
| Plizzo | bekks: Are those values bad, I’m not really good at judging this. | 20:59 |
| bekks | nezZario: WHY are yiu thinkting about that? Whats the _actual_ issue behind your questions? | 20:59 |
| bekks | Plizzo: They indicate a dead drive. | 20:59 |
| nezZario | bekks: see http://pastie.org/private/egdrtvg7i8ansa2ek9za | 20:59 |
| sarnold | nezZario: I suggest another apt-get update; it feels like your mirror might have been out of sync when you started | 20:59 |
| Plizzo | bekks: Alright. This is really hard, because I managed to start my corrupted raid, and the disks are still functioning. | 21:00 |
| bekks | Plizzo: And "Hardware_ECC_Recovered" with values of 1837712040 indicate thats its even more dead. | 21:00 |
| nezZario | apt-get update, apt-get -f install yields same error about linux-server dpeending on an older version of linux-image-server | 21:01 |
| Plizzo | bekks: And all those disks indicate so? | 21:01 |
| bekks | Plizzo: Even though the drives are working now, they will gonna die soon. sdc is a bit more alive, the others are dead. | 21:02 |
| Plizzo | bekks: Alright, thanks for your feedback! | 21:05 |
| sarnold | nezZario: I -think- the linux-server package in that release is just a pointless metapackage; perhaps it can just be deleted? | 21:05 |
| bekks | Plizzo: You're welcome :) | 21:05 |
| sarnold | nezZario: .. dunno if it'll sort your actual issue, but check apt-cache show linux-server and see if it looks useless :) | 21:05 |
| nezZario | sarnold: that may of worked | 21:07 |
| sarnold | nezZario: cool; make sure you still have e.g. linux-image-generic installed, so you will get kernel security updates when they are published | 21:09 |
| nezZario | yep, that looks like it cleaned it up | 21:16 |
| nezZario | thanks sarnold :) | 21:16 |
| sarnold | nezZario: nice | 21:17 |
