| Demon_Jester | it has multiple gpilu im plugged into the front. back is probably default | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| TJ- | That would explain it! | 00:02 |
| Demon_Jester | still nothing on back plug. as long as i can ssh im find. | 00:05 |
| TJ- | yes. check "/var/log/dmesg" for clues as to which GPU/head has been selected as the primary | 00:06 |
| TJ- | All my servers are on remote network KVM so I always ensure the heads are connected correctly | 00:06 |
| Demon_Jester | great now to see why ssh isnt working. | 00:06 |
| Demon_Jester | one more question since i made a new account i dont have a home directory would that cause any problems when installing packages? | 00:13 |
| tmontney | Anyone able to assist me with a postfix/dovecot issue? | 00:14 |
| TJ- | Demon_Jester: A home directory is usually created automatically, if you use "adduser" | 00:15 |

| neonixcoder | What is the best way to upgrade a production headless server remotely? | 05:23 |
| neonixcoder | I am planing to upgrade from 10.04 to 14.04, which will be in two steps 10.04 to 12.04 then from 12.04 to 14.04 | 05:23 |
| neonixcoder | any suggestions? As I tried to upgrade my machine with "do-release-upgrade -f DistUpgradeViewNonInteractive" but no positive result.. | 05:24 |
| tonyyarusso | neonixcoder: I've never used the -f option before. Ideally you have some sort of management console access, but I've done it just via SSH before. | 05:46 |
| neonixcoder | Thanks for the reply tonyyarusso | 05:46 |
| neonixcoder | The problem is I will not have console access as these machines are located remotely and can be accessed via 3G only.. | 05:47 |
| tonyyarusso | 3G only huh? That's a bit special. | 05:48 |
| tonyyarusso | How far is the drive if they don't come back up? | 05:49 |
| neonixcoder | yes.. | 05:49 |
| neonixcoder | It depends.. we even have some stuff in middle of Aus desserts which are like 3000km from Sydney :( | 05:50 |
| tonyyarusso | nice | 05:50 |
| neonixcoder | Which are connected with 3G or just Satlink to connect and remote manage.. | 05:51 |
| tonyyarusso | Furthest I've had to drive for physical access was about 2 hours - kind of a fun day actually. | 05:51 |
| neonixcoder | yes.. | 05:51 |
| tonyyarusso | Oh, one thing I will say - run the upgrade process inside of screen, so if your SSH connection drops you can reconnect. | 05:53 |
| neonixcoder | tonyyarusso: Is there any tool before upgrade can we just emulate changes and see if something may go wrong after upgrade? | 05:53 |
| tonyyarusso | Not that I know of - for that depth of check you have to try upgrading an identical test system. | 05:53 |
| neonixcoder | tonyyarusso: I tried screen, but somehow once the system reboots, it struck up at kernel panic.. | 05:54 |
| neonixcoder | right now trying in a lab machine before moving to prod.. | 05:55 |
| neonixcoder | but non getting success.. | 05:55 |

| Stuxnet | Hi all. Newbie here. Simple question. If you use wget to download a tar.gz file because it's not available as a package from the repositories it installs with "python setup.py install" how are you supposed to uninstall it? Not able to find any kidn of uninstall script. | 15:43 |
| Stuxnet | The program in question is DenyHosts-2.5 (old one I know that is why I wish to remove and install the latest which I think will be installed under different names/directories) | 15:43 |
| lordievader | Stuxnet: If it's available in pip, pip has am uninstall command. | 15:44 |

| roracle | okay guys, i'm already running Concrete5 on my apache server, BUT UBUNTU APACHE is SO different, I have ZERO clue how to set up another virtual site | 19:11 |
| roracle | i'm editing sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf is that right? | 19:12 |
| teward | roracle: no, you edit sites-available/default-ssl.conf if you're adding a new site to that config. BUt the correct thing to do is make a separate site configuration in sites-available | 19:12 |
| teward | make that VirtualHost block, etc. | 19:12 |
| teward | then a2ensite TheNewconfig.conf | 19:13 |
| roracle | okay there's either default or 000 | 19:13 |
| teward | (I think( | 19:13 |
| teward | roracle: so create a new one? | 19:13 |
| roracle | well 000 has port 80 for my default port while "default" has some god awful port number | 19:13 |
| teward | roracle: you're wanting to create a whole new site that your server can serve? | 19:15 |
| teward | i.e. NOT what's already present | 19:15 |
| roracle | teward: yes | 19:16 |
| teward | then don't use the existing configuration files | 19:16 |
| teward | at all | 19:16 |
| teward | create a brand new one | 19:16 |
| teward | put the configuration in that | 19:17 |
| teward | a2ensite that new configuration file | 19:17 |
| roracle | i don't get it... why when Apache is heavily documented that Ubuntu decided to change it all up? | 19:17 |
| roracle | i don't understand what a2ensite means | 19:17 |
| TJ- | roracle: See https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/httpd.html | 19:17 |
| * teward rolls eyes | 19:17 | |
| roracle | yes, i suck at this, sorry i am more inclined to game development, yes it's my fault lol | 19:18 |
| teward | a2ensite is a utility script/command | 19:18 |
| teward | `man a2ensite` | 19:18 |
| teward | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/en/man8/a2ensite.8.html | 19:18 |
| genii | Probably also: man a2enmod | 19:18 |
| teward | that as well | 19:18 |
| teward | for enabling/disabling Apache modules (such as SSL) | 19:19 |
| roracle | omg this is nuts | 19:19 |
| teward | no it's really not | 19:19 |
| teward | it's a different dynamic of thinking than that of a software developer | 19:20 |
| roracle | i might end up not using ubuntu in the end because i got used to all the documentatino i read on apache, then found out all of it was wrong, and now i'm totally confused on what to do and have to keep reminding myself that i have to look it up since it's not what i learned intiially | 19:20 |
| teward | what documentation did you even look a | 19:20 |
| teward | t | 19:20 |
| teward | you haven't stated which documentation you're using | 19:20 |
| roracle | apache's doc | 19:20 |
| teward | WHICH doc from Apache | 19:20 |
| teward | they have about two billion docs | 19:20 |
| teward | plus different versions of apache's documentation | 19:20 |
| roracle | yes, the ones for apache2 httpd, i didn't realize it was that big of a difference | 19:21 |
| sarnold | all the apache docs I'm familiar with discuss directives and options, not configuration layouts | 19:21 |
| roracle | apparently they have this "httpd.conf" file that should be edited. then i find out in ubuntu, it's allllll split up | 19:21 |
| roracle | so what did make sense doesn't now | 19:21 |
| patdk-wk | heh? | 19:21 |
| patdk-wk | no one has a single httpd.conf unless your using apache from source | 19:22 |
| teward | ^ that | 19:22 |
| teward | quite literally that | 19:22 |
| TJ- | roracle: The rationale is from Debian; the idea is that if you confine your own site's directives to your own files in the /etc/apache2/*-available/ directories, and use a2{en,dis}{site,mod,conf} tools to create/remove symbolic links in /etc/apache2/*-enabled/ directories, then any changes to the Debian/Ubuntu distributed packages will not over-write change any of your own site's custom settings. | 19:22 |
| sarnold | there's a huge difference between the apache 2.2 that shipped in 12.04 LTS and the 2.4 that shipped in 14.04 LTS, thuogh, is that the source of your confusion? | 19:22 |
| teward | sarnold: he's confused about file layouts | 19:22 |
| teward | sarnold: i.e. "wtf do i do to add a new site host block" | 19:22 |
| patdk-wk | he is upset that *insert tutorial here* does not work directly | 19:22 |
| teward | ^ that too | 19:22 |
| patdk-wk | cause it's specific to apache, and not debian/ubuntu | 19:22 |
| roracle | maybe | 19:22 |
| teward | roracle: the ONLY DIFFERENCE between Apache's source documentation for adding a new server block | 19:23 |
| teward | and Ubuntu/Debian's handling of it | 19:23 |
| teward | is that you put your individual site VirtualHost blocks into a different file | 19:23 |
| patdk-wk | if you want, ubunt still supports one large httpd.conf if you use it | 19:23 |
| roracle | okay well what do i TYPE exactly then? | 19:23 |
| teward | and use the utility script to symlink it to sites-enabled/somefilenamehere | 19:23 |
| patdk-wk | it is normally an empty file, but you can fill it up | 19:23 |
| teward | roracle: YourTextEditorHere /etc/apache2/sites-available/MySite.conf | 19:23 |
| teward | replace YourTextEditorHere with your given text editor | 19:24 |
| teward | and MySite.conf with something more descriptive (but keep .conf at the end) | 19:24 |
| roracle | i'm not here to learn perse, but i learn by DOING and it's like I learned 1+1=2 and now it's like everyone is saying 1+1=3 and it's really a mind messer | 19:24 |
| roracle | okay | 19:24 |
| TJ- | roracle: If you were to directly edit the configuration files that the apache2 Debian/Ubuntu packages ship then any updates (think security) would require administrator intervention to merge any changes in those config files if they conflict with the site-specific changes | 19:24 |
| teward | if you aren't going to listen to me trying to help you right now i'll go back to squishing server bugs | 19:24 |
| JanC | roracle: Debian/Ubuntu-specific Apache setup is documented in /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz | 19:24 |
| teward | (which is actually less painful than end-user support.) | 19:24 |
| roracle | no teward it's that everyone is saying stuff to me | 19:24 |
| teward | roracle: then learn to ignore people. focus on one thing at a time | 19:25 |
| teward | roracle: the problem with IRC chat is it's easy to get overwhelmed, so what you need to do is focus | 19:25 |
| roracle | okay so each site will have a different conf file, and i need a new one made, NOT add a block to existing ones? | 19:25 |
| teward | roracle: correct. | 19:25 |
| TJ- | roracle: Correct :) | 19:25 |
| teward | roracle: so you can very easily disable one site without having to manually find and remove the configuration directives | 19:26 |
| teward | roracle: once you've followed that command, you've got an empty file. Put your configuration directives for the VirtualHost blocks there. | 19:26 |
| JanC | roracle: and you really should always read README.Debian for packages that have it :) | 19:26 |
| roracle | okay see the Apache docs had me adding to the file which confused me | 19:26 |
| teward | roracle: that's the FromSource method | 19:26 |
| teward | roracle: the only difference is we have a different definition of where the site configurations go. It's actually to help improve the friendliness of administration | 19:26 |
| roracle | yeah, i just never realized each distro was going to be so very different. you don't expect a calculator to rearrange the numbers, ya know? | 19:26 |
| roracle | yeah i see that now | 19:27 |
| TJ- | roracle: FYI something else that might trip you up later is that in Debian/Ubuntu the executable (running process) name is "apache2" not "httpd" | 19:27 |
| roracle | well i'm in Ubuntu and it's running as apache2 | 19:27 |
| sarnold | roracle: heh, have you compared a phone versus a calculator lately? :) | 19:27 |
| teward | roracle: to continue what i was saying: after you've added the configuration to the MySite.conf or w/e you named it, save the file. Then run `sudo a2ensite MySite.conf` | 19:27 |
| roracle | okay cool | 19:27 |
| roracle | brb | 19:27 |
| patdk-wk | sarnold, my phones no longer even have numbers | 19:27 |
| teward | then run `sudo service apache2 reload`. Your site *should* then come up | 19:27 |
| teward | provided you have the modules you need enabled | 19:27 |
| sarnold | patdk-wk: hehe :) | 19:28 |
| teward | sarnold: even with calculators - the internal coding is widely different in terms of code style, etc. | 19:28 |
| teward | including fluff | 19:28 |
| patdk-wk | are we talking rpn? | 19:28 |
| * teward shrugs | 19:28 | |
| sarnold | teward: please don't get me down a calculator nostalgia rathole, I've already been down the orbital mechanics rathole today.. | 19:28 |
| teward | In Other News: landscape-client should not run on anything with less than 256MB RAM | 19:28 |
| roracle | okay i made the file, do i need to change perms on it or anything? | 19:29 |
| roracle | because it doesn't see the file there at all | 19:29 |
| roracle | but it is | 19:29 |
| teward | roracle: ls -al /etc/apache2/sites-available | 19:29 |
| patdk-wk | did you link it? a2ensite | 19:29 |
| patdk-wk | I think that is the command :) | 19:29 |
| JanC | and you need to reload apache | 19:29 |
| teward | roracle: did you also run `sudo a2ensite FooBarBaz.conf`, then do `sudo service apache2 reload`, like I said | 19:29 |
| roracle | okay i just made the file, haven't run a2ensite because when i did it says it's not there, though it is | 19:29 |
| teward | and yes i just throw random stuff in for filenames that i don't know what they really are :) | 19:30 |
| teward | roracle: is it in /etc/apache2/sites-available | 19:30 |
| teward | or in sites-enabled | 19:30 |
| sarnold | roracle: make sure the .conf is there -- the scripts look for that. | 19:30 |
| roracle | yes sites-enabled | 19:30 |
| roracle | and it's a conf file | 19:30 |
| teward | roracle: don't put it there | 19:30 |
| roracle | i called it "blog.conf" | 19:30 |
| roracle | oh? | 19:30 |
| teward | roracle: sudo mv /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/blog.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/blog.conf | 19:31 |
| teward | it goes in sites-available, not sites-enabled | 19:31 |
| teward | then run the `sudo a2ensite blog.conf` and `sudo service apache2 reload` commands | 19:31 |
| teward | roracle: the a2ensite and a2dissite scripts are designed such that your config never really leaves sites-available, and is linked into sites-enabled | 19:31 |
| teward | specifically that when you reload the configurations with `sudo service apache2 reload` you don't have to remove the config file from disk and move it to somewhere else on disk | 19:32 |
| roracle | okay | 19:32 |
| roracle | i just ran it all, now what? | 19:32 |
| roracle | restared and everything | 19:32 |
| roracle | and it's not working | 19:32 |
| teward | roracle: go to the domain you set in the virtualhost block | 19:32 |
| roracle | i told it blog.ghostlightgames.com | 19:32 |
| roracle | and i go there and nothing | 19:32 |
| teward | roracle: does that domain point to your site/server's IP address? | 19:33 |
| roracle | yes | 19:33 |
| roracle | or it should | 19:33 |
| roracle | i can get to the main page | 19:33 |
| roracle | www.ghostlightgames.com | 19:33 |
| roracle | it's the main page | 19:33 |
| teward | % dnsget -t ANY blog.ghostlightgames.com | 19:33 |
| teward | dnsget: unable to lookup ANY record for blog.ghostlightgames.com: domain name does not exist | 19:33 |
| roracle | but i'm trying to add blog.ghostlightgames.com | 19:33 |
| teward | roracle: www.ghostlightgames.com probably resolves. You need to add a DNS record for blog.ghostlightgames.com, wherever your dns is done | 19:33 |
| roracle | like with godaddy? | 19:34 |
| teward | or whoever does your DNs | 19:34 |
| roracle | yeah that's them | 19:34 |
| teward | then to there, add another DNS record, this time for blog. not www or @, but blog. | 19:34 |
| patdk-wk | without the . :) | 19:34 |
| teward | then either a CNAME to ghostlightgames.com like your www. site has. Or an A record. | 19:34 |
| teward | Correct. | 19:34 |
| roracle | okay | 19:35 |
| teward | patdk-wk: that was sentences though, because some of us actually care enough to type in full sentences :) | 19:35 |
| patdk-wk | yes, but expecially dns, it can cause breakage | 19:35 |
| teward | patdk-wk: that was sentences though, because some of us actually care enough to type in full sentences :) | 19:35 |
| patdk-wk | but hopefully, that dns editing gui, wouldn't allow a dot in that location | 19:35 |
| teward | oops | 19:35 |
| teward | but yes | 19:35 |
| teward | patdk-wk: indeed. it gets tricky when you run your own DNS servers xD | 19:36 |
| teward | then you have to edit the zonefiles direct :P | 19:36 |
| roracle | so what do i do exactly now i'm logged into godaddy? | 19:36 |
| roracle | zonefiles? | 19:36 |
| patdk-wk | dunno, whatever they do | 19:36 |
| teward | roracle: i don't use godaddy, you'll need someone else to guide you with godaddy dns, but i think they have instructions around | 19:36 |
| teward | https://www.godaddy.com/help/managing-dns-for-your-domain-names-680 | 19:37 |

| teward | Canonical? | 19:39 |
| sarnold | teward: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/landscape-client "Report a bug" | 19:39 |
| teward | sarnold: not sure if it's a bug | 19:40 |
| teward | moreso a question of min-specs-for-use | 19:40 |
| teward | not for LDS (the server side), but the client | 19:40 |
| sarnold | teward: thuogh "run in less than 256 megs ram" might be outright impossible, the thing's writtn in python, right? :) | 19:40 |
| teward | sarnold: no clue, but it got OOM killed then the server went and flopped on me on the VPS | 19:40 |
| teward | host | 19:40 |
| teward | gah, i hate keyboards sometimes | 19:40 |
| roracle | where would it "point to" exactly? www says it points to "@" but should blog also point to "@"? | 19:40 |
| teward | roracle: use @ | 19:40 |
| teward | roracle: that's a shortcut for what I said your Points To is | 19:41 |
| roracle | okay and should i wait or should it be automatic? | 19:41 |
| teward | roracle: hit "save changes" then give it a few minutes | 19:41 |
| teward | and then i'll check and see if Google's picked it up yet | 19:41 |
| teward | if not, you may have to wait up to 2 days | 19:41 |

| teward | roracle: does it return some info like this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11874021/ | 19:45 |
| teward | or at least saying the domain exists | 19:45 |
| teward | roracle: i get to a WP install page | 19:45 |
| teward | install WP and remove your install files soon | 19:45 |
| teward | before a malicious threat actor nukes your WP | 19:45 |
| roracle | that link is exactly what my linux output was | 19:46 |
| teward | roracle: then you're all set - go to your site and set up wordpress | 19:46 |
| teward | fast | 19:46 |
| teward | before a malicious person does that for you xD | 19:46 |
| roracle | nice | 19:47 |
| roracle | now will this allow other users to make a name/pw and access it? | 19:49 |
| roracle | i know it's not your realm but i figured i'd ask | 19:49 |
| teward | roracle: that's a wordpress issue | 19:49 |
| teward | you have to configure it first | 19:49 |
| teward | roracle: depending if you enable it or not users may be able to register or not | 19:49 |
| teward | mine, i disabled registrations on (see dark-net.net | 19:49 |
| teward | i don't see a register button though | 19:50 |
| roracle | okay, i'll have to connect via my phone tethering (i use a router to the server, it doesn't work proeprly going to the domain while i'm on the same network as the server) | 19:50 |
| teward | roracle: your wordpress questions would be better suited for #wordpress though | 19:54 |
| qhartman | Anyone have any recommendations for an inexpensive temperature monitoring device that integrates well with nagios? Ideally I'd like something that has support for a few remote sensors | 20:06 |
| qhartman | Everything I've found so far is either major overkill, or isn't really quite enough. Having a hard time finding "jsut right". | 20:07 |
| patdk-wk | ipmi works well | 20:08 |
| qhartman | true, and I have some quick and dirty scripts that watch that for the internal server temps, but I'd like to know ambient in a couple places in the room, as well as the supply temp from the air handler | 20:10 |
| qhartman | So I can catch things earlier | 20:10 |
| qhartman | In typical IRC fashion, as soon as I asked my question I hit upon something that looks liek a good solution: http://www.itwatchdogs.com/climate-monitor-watchdog-100-p67.html | 20:15 |
| teward | qhartman: hate to say an arduino, but... | 20:17 |
| teward | probably nothing 'inexpensive' if you want it to report back | 20:17 |
| teward | (we have three arduinos at different spots in a server room to monitor temps...) | 20:18 |
| qhartman | yeah, I'd be happy to roll my own if I weren't spread so thin already, but as it is, paying a bit for something that works OOB is worth it. | 20:18 |
| qhartman | teward, I'd be glad to learn more about your setups though if you have references you could point me to. | 20:19 |
| teward | qhartman: i didn't set them up, sorry | 20:19 |
| teward | i know they're in the room, I don't know who built em up or configured em | 20:19 |
| qhartman | womp womp. Thanks though | 20:20 |
| TJ- | They're quite a few USB temperature sensors that present on a ttyUSB* interface | 20:21 |
| TJ- | s/They're/There are/ | 20:21 |
| TJ- | Instead of the optional temp/humidity sensors for my Server Technology CDUs I used this: http://www.dlpdesign.com/usb/th1.shtml | 20:23 |
| qhartman | Neat. Though, at $90 each, it's nearly the cost of the stand-alone unit I linked above with the number of locations I want to monitor. | 20:24 |
| qhartman | $430 vs $360 | 20:25 |
| TJ- | Yeah... there are multi-channel alternatives, but I only need to monitor 2 cabinets | 20:25 |
| qhartman | right | 20:26 |
| qhartman | thanks for the suggestion though | 20:26 |
| qhartman | good device to know about | 20:26 |
| sarnold | I've long wanted a reason to try out ibutton / 1-wire devices | 20:26 |
| qhartman | that would be fun | 20:27 |
| TJ- | qhartman: This is another I found after I'd bought, and integrates woth nagios: http://www.finnie.org/2010/03/07/external-temperature-monitoring-with-linux/ | 20:28 |
| qhartman | cool, thanks | 20:29 |
