[01:19] <manuel4> AES-cryptography struck installing procedure alleging "logical driver already in USE", should I cryptograph by livecd-installer in AES, after already using my new distro?
[02:06] <skrp> im thinking about ditching ubuntu-server for centOS. for the sole reason that RHCE is the only certification worth anything
[02:06] <netameta_> anyone familiar with quassel, if so how can i export/import user profile(all of channels and configs)
[02:07] <skrp> i want to stay debian, but i am an accountant and i need a cert
[02:08] <skrp> i can't enter the jr admin world with no cert and a degree in business
[02:26] <tarpman> skrp: that's an assumption. employers exist who will hire based on what you know rather than pieces of paper
[02:27] <tarpman> skrp: are you involved in debian/ubuntu development? maintaining a couple of packages, perhaps?
[02:29] <tonyyarusso> skrp: FWIW, I'm at my third full-time sysadmin job and it's the first one where people got Red Hat certs.  Hired without one, just passed my RHCSA last week.  (Had LPIC-1 before - gotta redo that and go for -2)
[02:33] <skrp> im a bit noob, i moonlight on my 42u rack, windows/freebsd/ubuntu/pfsense. self taught
[02:34] <skrp> tonyyarusso, how did you enter the field? know someone?
[02:36] <tonyyarusso> skrp: Honestly, got lucky.  While I was in college, one of my professors asked if I'd be interested in a student-worker position.  I took that, and two months in my supervisor took a new job, and rather than try to fill the position mid-school-year, they asked if I'd like to just do his job on a temporary basis until the next fall.  So I got to put "Network Administrator for a college" on my res
[02:36] <tonyyarusso> ume before I even finished my ...
[02:36] <tonyyarusso> ... Associate's degree.
[02:38] <tonyyarusso> skrp: Also did several either extremely part time or volunteer things for friends and non-profits that were nice experience along the way.
[02:38] <skrp> nice, wp wp. yeah im figuring that i might need a kickstart. From my research RHCE is well respected
[02:38] <tonyyarusso> (Still do, actually)
[02:39] <tonyyarusso> Did some community stuff for Ubuntu as well - IRC op, LoCo contact, helped package something once, did some stuff for Classroom, Newsletter, and User Days, that sort of thing.
[02:41] <tonyyarusso> RHCSA/RHCE are definitely good.  LPIC is also good (and distro-agnostic).  However, both are intended to be a reflection of knowledge, not something you get before actually having the knowledge, so priority #1 is just learning.  Get some kind of system capable of basic virtualization at home, and build an environment that's way more complicated than you really need just to play around with thing
[02:41] <tonyyarusso> s like DNS, DHCP, mail, web ...
[02:42] <tonyyarusso> ... servers, and so on.
[02:42] <tonyyarusso> Dear irssi script:  Your algorithm for calculating when to split lines is broken.
[02:44] <skrp> LPIC is a joke tho, that shit is like noob level 0-.5
[02:45] <tonyyarusso> skrp: uhhhh, you realize there are multiple levels, right?
[02:46] <tonyyarusso> Same as Red Hat's certs.
[02:46] <skrp> the general consensus on LPIC... is very ehhhh. yeah i know there are more levels
[05:46] <nayKang> how to use curl -T (--upload-file)
[06:06] <azizLIGHT> how much space should i put in my vm hard drive for 15.04 install with LAMP for learning purposes
[06:07] <azizLIGHT> is 5 gb ok
[14:11] <tarvid> LAMP installed via tasksel, PHP not running
[14:25] <RoyK> is it enabled? have you tried to restart apache?
[14:25]  * RoyK doesn't use tasksel a lot :P
[14:27] <tarvid> /usr/sbin/apache2 -M shows  php5_module (shared)
[14:28] <tarvid> service apache2 restart issued many times
[14:28] <tarvid> envvars not always loaded
[14:29] <RoyK> and the module's enabled? in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ ?
[14:30] <tarvid> php5.conf is in mods-enabled
[14:30] <RoyK> not php5.load?
[14:31] <tarvid> php5.load is there too
[14:32] <tarvid> phpinfo() renders a blank page
[14:32] <tarvid> wordpress says php is not running
[14:32] <RoyK> what does the apache logs have to say?
[14:33] <tarvid> 192.168.88.250 - - [27/Jun/2015:10:13:37 -0400] "GET /phpinfo.php HTTP/1.1" 200 241 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0"
[14:34] <RoyK> did you restart apache?
[14:34] <tarvid> yes
[14:34] <tarvid> service apache restart
[14:35] <tarvid> /var/log/php/ is empty
[14:36] <RoyK> php doesn't log much
[14:36] <RoyK> it goes via apache where it's linked in
[14:37] <tarvid> I am about to reload, this is a test server and this installation fails
[14:37] <tarvid> it should be easy
[14:37] <RoyK> it's a bit hard to debug something on a private IP from here :P
[14:38] <RoyK> what happens if you 'wget -q -O - http://localhost/phpinfo.php' ?
[14:38] <tarvid> it is public fairfox.ls.net
[14:38] <RoyK> do you get the source printed?
[14:38] <RoyK> 192.168.* are private rfc1918 addresses
[14:39] <RoyK> Dora:~ roy$ wget -q -O - http://fairfox.ls.net/phpinfo.php
[14:39] <RoyK> <? phpinfo(); ?>
[14:39] <RoyK> bingo - it doesn't link .php to being php and handled by the module
[14:40] <tarvid> that is true
[14:40] <RoyK> that should be in php5.conf
[14:41] <RoyK> http://paste.debian.net/261895/ <-- from my server (debian jessie)
[14:43] <tarvid> http://paste.debian.net/261896/
[14:44] <tarvid> yours makes sense
[14:44] <RoyK> I just posted the first three lines - the rest isn't that relevant
[14:45] <RoyK> try to stop and restart apache
[14:45] <RoyK> this really should work - I've installed hundreds of servers with this (yes, really)
[14:45] <tarvid> I did comment the IFModule mod_user on the advice of web searching
[14:45] <tarvid> Not hundreds but dozens
[14:47] <RoyK> ubuntu and apache isn't always easy
[14:47] <RoyK> seems small hichups happen all over
[14:48]  * RoyK doesn't use ubuntu on servers any more - went back to debian
[14:49] <tarvid> which version?
[14:49] <RoyK> jessie now, but I still have some wheezy installs running
[14:51] <RoyK> tarvid: still, the problem is probably simple to fix - I've setup ubuntu with php *lots* of times
[14:51] <tarvid> me too but I think the installation is corrupt. No real harm in reloading
[14:52] <tarvid> a couple of virtuals which wonj't run because PHP is not running
[14:53] <RoyK> I'd suggest debian, then
[14:53] <RoyK> ubuntu development seems to me a wee bit more focused on cutting edge things and desktop than of long term stability - that also refers to LTS
[14:53] <tarvid> The purpose of the box is to keep me from testing live\
[14:53] <RoyK> IMO - that is - don't drag me to court on that :P
[14:53] <teward> RoyK: and after the LTS is relesaed?
[14:54] <RoyK> what about that? after LTS is released, three intermediate releases come and then a new LTS
[14:54] <RoyK> I just think that a lot of things I've seen in Ubuntu aren't that well tested before put into production
[14:55] <RoyK> that happens everywhere, of course, but ubuntu seems to be worse than the others
[14:55] <tarvid> much to mull
[14:56] <tarvid> I ran Debian for years
[14:56] <tarvid> I got burned by Mandrake 10
[14:57] <tarvid> I just want something robust
[14:57] <tarvid> about to try trick77's ban list
[14:57] <tarvid> IDS blow alarms all day long
[14:57] <studio_> hi
[14:58] <tarvid> I backup homes daily and scrutinize the logs
[15:00] <RoyK> tarvid: what backup software_
[15:00] <RoyK> ?
[15:02] <studio_> i need some help with older hardware to install ubuntu on it. me and some friends own the Black Dwarf UTM from Securepoint, it is the same as Lex Uno and it is using an Via C7 500MHz (and higher). the cpu is a non pae. is it possible to install ubuntu on it?
[15:05] <RoyK> studio_: IIRC none of the standard kernels work without PAE - perhaps try debian?
[15:06] <RoyK> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu-fake-PAE
[15:06] <RoyK> perhaps
[15:07] <RoyK> studio__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu-fake-PAE
[15:14] <studio__> @RoyK, squeeze non pae mini.iso seems to be working on my old intel "m" based notebook. my problem is with the router, i do not own the vga cable, so i am not able to change the boot device on the router. the only chance i have, is to install the new os to the compact flash card via the old notebook. the compact flash card is the first boot device in the router ...
[15:38] <RoyK> studio__: then try that ;)
[15:41] <studio__> with that seems to be have problems to install grub on it ... it offers /sdc1 but to install grub on sdc1 is not working. what i am doing wrong?
[16:08] <RoyK> studio__: install grub on /dev/sdc, not /dev/sdc1
[16:08] <RoyK> studio__: and don't try to do anything about /sdc* :P
[16:08] <studio__> installing a server without eyes is really difficult, that's new to me ...
[16:08] <RoyK> perhaps a serial consle would work?
[16:09] <studio__> RoyK, i made a new boot up from the usb stick i think, now it is working ...
[16:10] <studio__> serial console i can test after the installation on the compact flash card, after i put back the cf-card into the router ...
[16:31] <studio__> RoyK, the device i am using ist the old version from ebay art.-nr # 191612109080. my device a a little bit older ...
[16:57] <studio__> hmm, ttyUSB0 is not working anymore ,,, :(
[17:05] <studio__> ok, i gave up for today ... maybe tomorrow ... have a nice day. bye!
[20:42] <mandrivaal> Greetings, anyone here use inotify-tools package on your ubuntu-server?
[20:48] <mandrivaal> Another question, my server internal ip address has been setup as static in the /etc/network/interfaces file. we have 20+ computers on our network. we recently experienced a power outtage and upon powering back up my file server was issued a dynamic ip. overridding my interfaces config setting. how is that possible?
