bremdenI'm trying to set up a personal web server with ubuntu server 14.04, system powers up, but after selecting the boot disk, it goes to a blank screen with a flashing cursor, and becomes unresponsive to input. Anyone know if this is a hardware issue?00:07

lordievaderGood morning.09:52
eagles0513875_hey lordievader09:56
eagles0513875_got a question im working on a work vps at the moment to try and fix permissions question for you09:56
eagles0513875_how can i restore a directory and its files permissions back to the defaults09:56
Kartagiseagles0513875_: permissions default vary by your requirements, there are no set defaults10:00
lordievader^10:00
eagles0513875_Kartagis: there are defaults10:00
eagles0513875_i thought there were10:00
Kartagisno10:00
eagles0513875_775 for directories and 664 for files10:00
Kartagis755 for d, 644 for f10:00
lordievadereagles0513875_: Err no.10:00
lordievaderThat is for some dirs a really bad ide.10:01
eagles0513875_Kartagis: right that is what i meant sorry10:01
lordievaderidea*10:01
eagles0513875_right now what they are set to which is 777 is worse10:01
Kartagiseagles0513875_: but like I said, permissions default vary by your requirements, there are no set defaults10:01
lordievaderWhat folder are we taking here?10:01
eagles0513875_lordievader: websites directories in /var/www10:01
eagles0513875_which are set to 777 at the moment10:01
eagles0513875_and they were not set by me but by the previous admin10:02
Kartagis777 is evil dude10:02
lordievaderHmm, there 755 is fine and 644.10:02
ikoniait really depends though10:02
ikoniaeg: some wordpress permissions can require 777 or 77510:02
ikoniaeg the temporary directory10:03
ikoniait's not a black and white answer10:03
ikoniayou need to evaluate your web site needs and set them correctly10:03
eagles0513875_ok10:03
Kartagislisten to the man10:03
lordievader+110:04
eagles0513875_i am listening to him :)10:04
Kartagisspeaking of which, never ever use wordpress10:04
Kartagisit's more evil than the satan10:05
eagles0513875_lol Kartagis my job is using it and i need to upgrade it badly lol10:05
eagles0513875_so i did a bit of digging and in the forums it seems like default 755 and 644 permissions are sufficient for wordpress10:05
ikoniaKartagis: grow up10:05
ikoniaKartagis: it's one of the most widely used and respectted web platforms10:05
ikoniaeagles0513875_: no they are not10:05
Kartagisikonia: most widely used, and most widely hacked10:06
eagles0513875_ikonia: would you mind if we take this to the wordpress channel as its not really ubuntu server on topic10:06
ikoniaKartagis: because of incorrectly setup sites10:06
ikoniaeagles0513875_: you can take it to the wordpress channel, there are experienced guys in thtere10:06
eagles0513875_ok no problem10:06

grendal_primehas anyone seen a linux smb/cifs server  other than samba?22:04
grendal_primecause ive about had it with samba422:04
grendal_primei cant get anything to work right on it.22:04
grendal_primealso if anyone knows of a way to get samba3 running on 14.04 please speak up.22:05
fridaynextgrendal_prime: I have samba running on my ubuntu 14.04 server box, but i don't know which version it is22:08
grendal_primeand it works?22:08
fridaynextworks great - transfers blaze along at 110MB/s over CAT5e22:08
grendal_primedude..ive got 4 production file servers that run on samba3 with 20 users on each..never had any trouble with it.  I upgraded one of them to samba4..nothing works.22:09
fridaynextvery strange... missing dependency?22:10
grendal_primeno..22:10
fridaynextah, looks like I'm running samva 4.1.622:10
grendal_primeya me to22:10
grendal_primeim building a new one from scratch on vm22:10
fridaynextyou try creating new shares?22:11
fridaynextmy shares are really basic - only allows my user to access the shares.22:11
fridaynextwrite access for all of them (i store my time machine backups, iphoto, imovie, and itunes libraries on the shares)22:11
grendal_primeso i need to have several shares.  and make them group owned22:12
grendal_primegeneric clone is done..setting up ip and system name22:15

grendal_primedo you manage that with cli or do you use some tool of some sort?22:21
grendal_primefridaynext, ?22:21
fridaynextgrendal_prime: I initially set it up with cli - I might have added one of them with webmin, but I'm pretty sure in the end I did them with cli.22:22
grendal_primeya i use to use webmin to do all the management of that, the webmin module is now broke.22:23
grendal_primewell doesnt work for samba4 anyway.22:23
fridaynexttry restarting the service?22:23
grendal_primedude..for like 2 days ive been working on this..im pretty aware of the need for that..22:24
grendal_primebut thanks for asing.22:24
fridaynextgrendal_prime: juuuust checking.22:24
grendal_primeasking that is..22:24
grendal_primei know..i know.. i would do the same thing22:24
fridaynextare you on webmin 1.710?22:24
grendal_primeya22:24
fridaynextlet me check my samba settings to see if anything looks finnicky in it.22:25
fridaynextman, my settings are SUPER basic.22:25
fridaynextare you visiting webmin over https?22:25
fridaynextlike when you say it's 'broke', do you mean not loading anything at all, or something else?22:26
grendal_primewebmin is fine..22:26
grendal_primethe problem is, have you ever set up shares that were group owned?  if not then samba4 probably works just fine with very basic settings. Ive got that to work ok. but22:27
grendal_primei would use the users and groups management on webmin for the samba box, add users to a group, then they have access to those shares.  all of that no longer works the way it use to.22:28
grendal_primei think it just doesnt work at all.  I saw one bug report that basically stated that, if you force ownership on a share, nobody can log into it then.22:29
fridaynextis it a huge group? might work better to just put in each username.22:34
grendal_primecant get that to work either22:35
grendal_primeif its wide open its fine..problem comes in when you start forcing ownership of created files and dirs.22:35
grendal_primeif you are going to have several people accessing the files you have to make them group owned.22:36
fridaynextyeah22:41
Vladimir_is there any ubuntu alternatives for Citrix?23:07
sarnoldVladimir_: qemu/kvm, either managed as standalone tools or via libvirt or maybe via proxmox (I haven't looked into proxmox much, it might not actually require a distribution like ubuntu or not..)23:09
Vladimir_sarnold: thanks , I've looked into proxmox a bit23:11
sarnoldVladimir_: of course if you have enough machines you can go full openstack23:11
