[00:00] <moonlight> i also upgraded to linux-firmware to the latest cos the kern/syslog were mentioning ath9k
[00:00] <moonlight> reinstalling 3.18.1 didnt do anything, files kept growing
[00:01] <moonlight> had to go back to 3.13.0
[00:02] <moonlight> i can reproduce the situation again, if anyone wants
[00:02] <moonlight> i had to delete the kern/syslog files, they were like over 15gb each
[00:03] <moonlight> and syslog was taking some cpu time
[00:03] <moonlight> i should get back tomorrow, have a great night/day
[00:10] <thor77> what can i do if the installation-setup says "couldnt install grup-pc to /target/"?
[00:10] <thor77> what could be the problem?
[00:10] <thor77> how can i solve it?
[00:11] <moonlight> use grub2
[00:11] <thor77> how can i do that?
[00:11] <thor77> i only see this http://img.thor77.org/23-12-14_01-11.png
[00:12] <thor77> but i could continue without installing a bootloader
[00:13] <moonlight> you are probably attempting to install in a weird way maybe
[00:14] <thor77> ?
[00:14] <thor77> everything worked fine until this
[00:14] <thor77> maybe something with partitioning went wrong?
[00:17] <moonlight> probably
[00:18] <moonlight> if ubuntu is the only os in the hdd, wipe the whole disk, setup one / and one sawp
[00:18] <moonlight> and install normally
[00:18] <thor77> okey, will try
[00:18] <moonlight> also check the iso for burning/download errors
[00:18] <moonlight> anyways, im out
[00:18] <thor77> cant check the iso, its provided by my hoster
[00:33] <thor77> if my server hoster uses lvm, have i to choose it at partitioning-time?
[01:05] <davidbowlby> dasjoe, that's what I was thinking, but this LVM stuff makes me nervous
[01:05] <davidbowlby> dasjoe, don't I have to do something to make the new drive LVM?
[01:05] <dasjoe> davidbowlby: sure, if you want to use LVM on it
[01:06] <davidbowlby> dasjoe, I want it to be a like for like, so I need to know how to set up the LVM
[01:06] <davidbowlby> I created the partitions to match
[01:06] <davidbowlby> just not sure how to do the LVM pieces
[01:06] <thor77> is someone here hosting on 1fire?
[01:08] <dasjoe> davidbowlby: sorry, I've got to go. Check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm
[02:55] <TheRinger_> anyone here use ispconfig to manage their server ?
[07:49] <hariom> How to check if upstart script is without syntax errors?
[08:01] <lordievader> Good morning.
[08:58] <Sling> in my /etc/network/interfaces I have an 'iface eth0 inet6 static' entry with a gateway, but the default route is not added on boot
[08:58] <Sling> after manually doing 'ip -6 route add default via <ip> dev eth0 metric 1024' it works fine
[08:59] <Sling> what is the proper way of adding a default route for a static native ipv6 configuration on ubuntu?
[10:48] <thor77> rtzuioä#
[12:09] <YamakasY> mhh does a nfsshare need full path rights ?
[12:27] <thor77> WTF
[13:01] <Noel> anyone know how to get ubuntu to boot on its own without flash drive
[13:46] <White_Cat> hi
[13:46] <White_Cat> I am trying to install ubuntu server to a new hp server
[13:46] <White_Cat> I am able to boot into the installer and install ubuntu-server to the raid 5 array
[13:46] <White_Cat> however it will not boot from the said array
[13:48] <White_Cat> it did install grub
[13:49] <White_Cat> It is an HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9
[13:51] <White_Cat> I dont understand the problem since it is possible to write to the drives...
[13:55] <White_Cat> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201409-15510/ <- it appears to be Ubuntu certifie
[14:00] <pmatulis> White_Cat: any firmware updates for the raid controller available?
[14:00] <pmatulis> White_Cat: or the BIOS
[14:01] <pmatulis> White_Cat: do you have a single such machine with this problem or multiple?
[14:06] <White_Cat> I have a single device so on a single device :)
[14:06] <White_Cat> pmatulis before I mess with the firmware
[14:06] <White_Cat> mind that ubuntu can install to the raid5 array
[14:06] <White_Cat> it correctly identifies its size and installation completes fine, even intsalls grub
[14:07] <White_Cat> what must I do for it to boot from the raid 5 array
[14:07] <White_Cat> aside from possibly panicing
[14:09] <thor77> which sftp-server is recomment for ubuntu-server 14.10?
[14:09] <thor77> *recommend
[14:09] <White_Cat> yeah
[14:10] <White_Cat> 14.04.1
[14:10] <White_Cat> sorry no that version above
[14:10] <White_Cat> LTS
[14:10] <White_Cat> oh
[14:10] <White_Cat> I misread that entirely
[14:10] <White_Cat> :(
[14:12] <pmatulis> thor77: sftp is a subystem of openssh
[14:14] <pmatulis> White_Cat: it sounds like you need to troubleshoot GRUB
[14:14] <White_Cat> yeah
[14:14] <pmatulis> White_Cat: so you only have one such machine?
[14:14] <White_Cat> yes
[14:14] <Sling> in my /etc/network/interfaces I have an 'iface eth0 inet6 static' entry with a gateway, but the default route is not added on boot, after manually doing 'ip -6 route add default via <ip> dev eth0 metric 1024' it works fine, question now is: what is the proper way of adding a default route for a static native ipv6 configuration on ubuntu?
[14:17] <White_Cat> all I did was instert usb and install ubuntu server 14.04.1 LTS
[14:17] <pmatulis> White_Cat: what actual error do you see?
[14:18] <White_Cat> no error
[14:18] <White_Cat> it just deosnt boor
[14:18] <White_Cat> *boot
[14:18] <White_Cat> as if no drive is inserted
[14:19] <pmatulis> White_Cat: well get rid of the splash screen and get something onscreen
[14:19] <White_Cat> I am completely lost
[14:24] <moonlight> yellow, its me again, tried a different approach to get a latest kernel for my machine 3.13 to something more recent
[14:24] <moonlight> http://www.wikihow.com/Update-Ubuntu-Kernel
[14:24] <moonlight> found 3.16 listed
[14:24] <pmatulis> White_Cat: then a easy to understand idea is to re-install with a non-debian-based OS.  if it works we can point at debian/ubuntu, if it doesn't we can point at the hardware/firmware
[14:25] <White_Cat> pmatulis the only error like thing is it is demanding a UEFI enabled device or something like that
[14:25] <Sling> ah nvm fixed my route issue
[14:25] <moonlight> but same thing, installs the kernel, boots, and the syslog/kern logs get big over time
[14:25] <pmatulis> White_Cat: ah EFI
[14:25] <Sling> i had a typo in my /etc/network/interfaces -_-
[14:25] <White_Cat> emphasis on the F in the abriviation
[14:25] <pmatulis> White_Cat: turn it off in the BIOS
[14:25] <White_Cat> it didnt boot with legacy either but I can give it a second attempt
[14:26] <White_Cat> I imagine ubuntu does not support UEFI
[14:27] <pmatulis> White_Cat: in theory it does, but hardware/firmware vendors can use a different implementation of it that can screw things up
[14:27] <White_Cat> ah okay
[14:28] <White_Cat> so good practice to disbale it then
[14:28] <White_Cat> I was hesitant a bit but not anymore
[14:36] <thor77> any idea why i cant connect to my vsftpd-server? vsftpd.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9604019/
[14:37] <thor77> filezilla says "connection timed out" after a few seconds
[14:37] <thor77> it tries to connect through port 21
[14:43] <Kartagis> thor77: try passive method
[14:45] <White_Cat> pmatulis it somehow booted :o
[14:46] <thor77> Kartagis: change "listen=NO" to "listen=YES" ?
[14:47] <thor77> => still doesn't work
[14:48] <Kartagis> no, that's not it. try using passive method in your ftp client, and if you can connect, try to figure out how to set the connection to passive in the conf file. unfortunately I can't help further, I'm busy
[14:50] <pmatulis> White_Cat: w/o doing the BIOS stuff?
[14:57] <White_Cat> pmatulis I did disable UEFI
[14:57] <White_Cat> F*** UEFI :p
[14:58] <pmatulis> White_Cat: ah ok, disabling it allowed it to boot
[14:58] <White_Cat> not entirely
[14:58] <White_Cat> I had to then select manual boot
[14:58] <White_Cat> I selected hdd and it magically booted
[14:59] <pmatulis> White_Cat: ok, the next boot should proceed w/o intervention
[15:01] <White_Cat> just to make sure I am going to sacrifice a rubber chicken
[15:11] <hariom> Hi guys, I am getting errors when I run this bash script from supervisord. http://paste.ubuntu.com/9604227/    touch: cannot touch   .../logs/gunicorn.log: Permission denied
[15:12] <hariom> chown: cannot access .../logs/gunicorn.log: No such file or directory
[15:30] <hariom> Hi guys, I am getting errors when I run this bash script from supervisord for running django app with gunicorn. http://paste.ubuntu.com/9604227/    touch: cannot touch   .../logs/gunicorn.log: Permission denied . I know its not django issue but if anybody who has encoutered this and resolved?
[15:35] <shauno> hariom: if I read that correctly, your 'gunicorn.log' already exists, is owned by 'nobody', so 'adminuser1' can't touch it? (no write access)
[16:10] <sergey_> How to disable directory index? I added "Options -Indexes" to my /etc/apache2/sites-available/site.conf, restarted apache but no result
[18:17] <crazyhead42> I'm having trouble actually modifying my server from my phone, and my Dad had a similar problem on his computer. I'm getting an error 550 when I try to add a new folder. What should I do?
[18:54] <Sling> crazyhead42: how are you modifying your server? trough what service? what modification?
[18:55] <crazyhead42> adding another "directory" using FTP Cafe
[18:55] <crazyhead42> or uploading files.
[18:55] <crazyhead42> I am logged in as myself, and it works just fine for filezilla, but Filezilla is on my PC where my files are not.
[18:56] <Sling> does your ftp server have logging? best to check those
[18:56] <crazyhead42> ummmm... not if I have to set it up
[18:56] <Sling> it's usually logging by default, if not to syslog then to its own log somewhere in /var/log/
[18:57] <Sling> a 550 can be many things
[18:57] <Sling> (if i were to guess though, filesystem permissions)
[18:57] <crazyhead42> So why could Filezilla work then?
[18:58] <crazyhead42> ummm, I see this, but I have no idea what I'm looking at
[18:58] <crazyhead42> It looks almost like a list of commands?
[18:58] <Sling> sure, that would make sense
[18:58] <Sling> since your ftp client just issues series of commands
[18:59] <Sling> what happens in those logs when you recreate the 550 error?
[18:59] <Sling> (tip: tail -f /var/log/yourlogfilehere.log)
[18:59] <crazyhead42> Let me reset that, because I just did something
[19:00] <crazyhead42> Okay, it looks like it was just checking stuff
[19:01] <crazyhead42> <noop
[19:01] <crazyhead42> happened on my phone
[19:01] <Sling> those are just keepalive commands, to keep the connection open
[19:01] <crazyhead42> Oh.
[19:01] <crazyhead42> I'm just viewing the dir, so I'm not sure I'm looking at the right stuff
[19:04] <crazyhead42> Darn it, I have to go.
[19:04] <crazyhead42> Bye
[19:06] <Sling> ok, gl
[19:19] <Prezident> How can i get tabs in ubuntu-server terminal?
[19:19] <Prezident> is it possible?
[19:20] <Sling> Prezident: ctrl+shift+t
[19:20] <Prezident> thank you
[22:27] <thor77> hi, i want to use owncloud 7 with ssl at a subdomain => i replaced the default-ssl.conf with the one from owncloud and i created a site to use the subdomain: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9606890/, how can i access the site with https now?
[22:53] <Sling> thor77: so which vhosts do you have right now? could you paste the output of apache2ctl -S ?
[22:58] <crazyhead42> Were you talking to me a minute ago, or is someone else active?
[22:59] <Sling> you had the ftp issues right?
[22:59] <Sling> but yes, the previous question was for somebody else
[22:59] <crazyhead42> Yep, but now I have to reset up all my tools.
[23:02] <thor77> Sling: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9607167/
[23:03] <Sling> thor77: and SSL is working on that one *:443 vhost, and you want to enable it as well on the one you pasted before?
[23:03] <crazyhead42> what was the address you gave me earlier?
[23:03] <thor77> Sling: yes
[23:04] <crazyhead42> "/var/" something I think
[23:04] <Sling> thor77: so change the *:80 to *:443, copy the SSL* directives from your default ssl vhost to your cloud.crapwa.re vhost, and restart httpd
[23:05] <Sling> crazyhead42: i don't think I gave an exact address, just an example like /var/log/logfile.log
[23:05] <Sling> thor77: you could also make the *:80 vhost redirect to https automatically, just remove the documentroot in that case and put 'Redirect / https://cloud.crapwa.re/' there instead
[23:08] <crazyhead42> I see a couple of things that say log, but not exactly sure which one I want. I have auth.log which I'm guessing have to do with logging on, syslog, kern.log and vsftpd.log
[23:09] <Sling> crazyhead42: you were already looking at your ftp logs right? with commands in it
[23:09] <thor77> Sling: like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/9607224/ ?
[23:09] <thor77> it doesnt work..
[23:09] <thor77> error: http://img.thor77.org/24-12-14_00-09.png
[23:09] <Sling> thor77: yup, what is happening?
[23:09] <crazyhead42> I don't think so, I was looking at the files in the folder
[23:09] <Sling> thor77: what does the errorlog say?
[23:10] <thor77> Sling: nothing
[23:11] <Sling> thor77: is your certificate in /etc/ssl/private/ btw ?
[23:11] <thor77> yes
[23:11] <Sling> thats not the usual location, they are normally in /etc/ssl/ or /etc/ssl/certs/
[23:11] <thor77> https://new.crapwa.re/ works, too
[23:12] <Sling> so how does that vhost configuration differ from the one you just created?
[23:12] <thor77> oh... looks like none of my ssl-sites work anymore...
[23:16] <Sling> if you have more details than that, we could take a look :)
[23:17] <crazyhead42> Okay, so I'm opening the logs, I think successfully, but they don't seem to be giving me any help. One, called faillog, just has ^@^@ repeated. Is there a way for me to watch my system's communications in action?
[23:17] <Sling> crazyhead42: sure, you could 'tcpflow -c port ftp or ftp-data'
[23:17] <Sling> might need to apt-get install tcpflow
[23:18] <crazyhead42> "port" as in "port", or "port" as in the port?
[23:18] <Sling> thats the literal command
[23:19] <Sling> it will show all traffic over ports 20+21
[23:22] <crazyhead42> wait, I think I'm using port 22 on filezilla and on this
[23:22] <crazyhead42> I think.
[23:22] <Sling> that would be scp then, over the ssh port
[23:22] <crazyhead42> Oh, that would explain why only those two seem to work.
[23:23] <crazyhead42> Okay, so what do I need to do to make my server allow file transfers and new directories being made from other ports?
[23:24] <Sling> so you don't want to use scp? why not/
[23:24] <Sling> I would advise using scp over ftp anytime
[23:24] <crazyhead42> I want my ftp program on my phone to function.
[23:24] <Sling> what do you want to accomplish with all this?
[23:25] <qman> AndFTP supports SFTP
[23:25] <crazyhead42> scp can remain active, but I kinda have files on my phone that I need to get off. Preferably without a USB port, cause that doesn't seem to work
[23:26] <crazyhead42> And I want to be able to recieve files from other people's computers (such as my dad's)
[23:26] <Sling> you don't need ftp for that
[23:26] <Sling> plenty of apps on phones that support scp/sftp
[23:26] <Sling> also on windows/linux/osx
[23:27] <qman> FileZilla for windows
[23:27] <Sling> or winscp
[23:27] <crazyhead42> Well, my Filezilla seems to be working, but I'm not going to be able to dictate what my dad puts on his computer.
[23:27] <qman> And its pretty much native on linux, almost all file managers have sftp/scp support
[23:28] <Sling> crazyhead42: check what your dad has on his computer then, I'm sure its not a ftp-only client
[23:28] <qman> For windows support specifically, samba is the best and most native option
[23:28] <Sling> plain ftp is something people used 10 years ago, its insecure
[23:28] <qman> *30 years ago
[23:29] <Sling> also owncloud might be something you could look into
[23:29] <Sling> if you want to sync files between devices
[23:30] <qman> FTP should not be used in any situation today, with few exceptions
[23:31] <qman> And even in those exception cases it's still far from optimal
[23:32] <qman> For a detailed explanation why, http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie
[23:32] <crazyhead42> I don't think I can just download another server software, I'd have to redownload everything I've uploaded, try to figure out how to get a boot-able writer on a flashdrive, physically remove my other harddrive to avoid corruption, and reset my Grub, if it doesn't get damaged in the process
[23:32] <crazyhead42> I would prefer to avoid that if possible
[23:33] <qman> Why would any of that be necessary?
[23:33] <crazyhead42> Isn't owncloud a server os?
[23:33] <qman> No
[23:33] <qman> Its a web application
[23:33] <crazyhead42> So it does what?
[23:34] <qman> Provide an http interface to upload and download files
[23:34] <Sling> im not sure if owncloud has proper mobile support though, never used it for that
[23:34] <crazyhead42> okay, I suppose that makes sense...
[23:34] <Sling> but lets try the easiest way first, check what protocols the software your dad uses supports
[23:34] <crazyhead42> And it probably wouldn't for me. I'm still running gingerbread.
[23:34] <crazyhead42> Not easiest.
[23:35] <Sling> if it supports scp, you're good
[23:35] <crazyhead42> I'd have to hack into his computer at the moment, he's not home
[23:35] <Sling> okay, wait then ;)
[23:35] <crazyhead42> Too much going on after he gets off.
[23:35] <crazyhead42> The web interface does sound good, which I probably will want set up later
[23:36] <crazyhead42> But can we work with my phone first?
[23:36] <qman> There are other softwares to accomplish that task as well
[23:36] <qman> For android, get andftp
[23:36] <qman> Or any other sftp/scp capable client app
[23:36] <qman> I'm sure there are many
[23:37] <crazyhead42> is ftpcafe okay?
[23:37] <crazyhead42> OH, sftp, right?
[23:38]  * Sling is calling it a day, gn
[23:39] <crazyhead42> uh oh, what's this "private key"?
[23:39] <Sling> an alternative to using username&password
[23:39] <crazyhead42> okay? so if I haven't done special configuration yet, can I ignore it?
