| JanC | caliculk: do you really need an old Postgres version? if so, maybe use Ubuntu 12.04 for now? | 01:01 |
|---|---|---|
| JanC | and find some way to upgrade in the next couple of years | 01:01 |
| caliculk | JanC just to get the data, but I already did so for now. I don't need it anymore. | 01:02 |
| JanC | okay :) | 01:02 |
| dsfsdgdsg | Hi there, How do I allow "user" who is apart of "snort" group access to /var/log/snort/, these are the permission I have so far. (http://paste.ubuntu.com/12147143/) | 01:26 |
| dsfsdgdsg | in order for a user to have rw do you have set +x ? makes no sense | 01:38 |
| TJ- | that directory doesn't give the user any permissions | 01:39 |
| dsfsdgdsg | interesting what should I google to work this out? | 01:42 |
| TJ- | dsfsdgdsg: look at the pastebin... in particular, look at the owning *user* and *group* - what is the *group* ? | 01:42 |
| edtoast_46 | please try joining #edtoast .I would greatly appreciate it | 01:43 |
| dsfsdgdsg | the owning groups are *snort* and *adm* ? | 01:44 |
| TJ- | dsfsdgdsg: no. The owning user is "snort". The owning *group* is "adm". Is your user a member of "adm"? | 01:44 |
| dsfsdgdsg | no I'm not in group adm only snort, sudo and user | 01:48 |
| TJ- | dsfsdgdsg: that is why the user doesn't get access to /var/log/snort/ | 01:48 |
| dsfsdgdsg | TJ-: excellent thanks so much I've added myself now have access, If I have 0660 set I cannot see the permissions on file only file names as *user* | 01:54 |
| caliculk | Alright, a little frustrated, but after trying to modify samba config files, and restart the service, I can no longer properly start or access the samba server. | 03:09 |
| caliculk | It doesn't show up if I ty to manually access it, if I rollback the config file either. | 03:09 |

| tiblock | Hi. I have binary file "myprogram" and i want to launch it just like "myprogram" what is correct way to do it? I know i can "ln -s" it to /usr/bin or add to PATH, but what is correct way? | 11:17 |
| bekks | tiblock: Add it to your path. | 11:17 |
| bekks | Or start it with "./myprogram" after changing to the directory where it is located. | 11:17 |
| tiblock | bekks, isnt there tools in ubuntu for that? I saw programs do like "update-alternatives" or something and after that programs are working. | 11:19 |
| bekks | tiblock: update-alternatives will not help you in this case. | 11:20 |
| tiblock | bekks, okay, thank you | 11:20 |
| bekks | tiblock: Whats the actual issue, behind your question? | 11:20 |
| tiblock | bekks, just want to know maybe i doing something wrong | 11:20 |
| tiblock | but looks like everything is fine | 11:20 |
| jelly | tiblock: if it's not packaged, you should probably use /usr/local/bin PATH component instead of /usr/bin | 11:32 |

| yoko | Hi, my simple question | 12:49 |
| yoko | install lamp in root account, i have use normal account localhost, example adress localhost = /var/www I have localhost = /home/myaccount/www how added in apache2.conf ? | 12:50 |
| yoko | ok | 12:52 |
| teward | yoko: um... | 12:53 |
| teward | yoko: edit the apache configurations with sudo? | 12:53 |
| yoko | yes i used sudo | 12:54 |
| teward | and you edited the apache configurations and pointed the docroot to /home/myaccount/www ? | 12:54 |
| yoko | my apache2.conf file http://wklej.org/id/1781392/ | 12:55 |
| yoko | yes | 12:55 |
| yoko | i have use localhost forum in normal account home | 12:56 |
| teward | ... | 12:56 |
| teward | you didn't edit this config | 12:56 |
| teward | or rather | 12:57 |
| teward | you provdied the WRONG configuration | 12:57 |
| teward | yoko: the config for the sites is in sites-available. | 12:57 |
| yoko | i know | 12:57 |
| teward | first | 12:57 |
| teward | `sudo a2dissite default` | 12:57 |
| teward | then edit the default configuration file in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/ folder | 12:57 |
| teward | then `sudo a2ensite default` | 12:57 |
| teward | `sudo service apache2 restart` | 12:57 |
| yoko | ERROR: Site default does not exist! | 12:57 |
| teward | ... | 12:57 |
| teward | i hate apache | 12:57 |
| yoko | lighttp install ? | 12:58 |
| yoko | It only local localhost on theme created | 12:58 |
| teward | not what i meant | 12:58 |
| yoko | http://www.lighttpd.net | 12:59 |
| teward | yoko: include the /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf in a pastebin | 13:01 |
| yoko | http://wklej.org/id/1781396/ | 13:02 |
| teward | yoko: edit line 12 to be the correct docroot. | 13:03 |
| teward | ie. /home/myaccount/ww | 13:03 |
| teward | restart the apache2 process - sudo service apache2 restart | 13:03 |
| teward | see if that fixes it | 13:04 |
| teward | (and read up on Apache configuration documentation because you should probably try and understand it a little if you're going to be running apache) | 13:04 |
| yoko | i do | 13:06 |

| RoyK | !ask | 13:41 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 13:41 |
| RoyK | !patience | 13:42 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 13:42 |
| RoyK | linocisco: just split it in two if you want dual boot. I'd use a VM for one of them, though. Why are you testing both? | 13:42 |
| RoyK | linocisco: Both should work well on their own - it's just linux - the choice between them mostly depends on what you're most used to or what you like | 13:43 |
| linocisco | RoyK, thanks for reply. One OS should be ubuntu server with most common server roles, file/directory .etc and second will be Elastix with is natively bundled with CentOS | 13:44 |
| RoyK | linocisco: I beleive you can run elastix on ubuntu too | 13:46 |
| linocisco | RoyK, I dont want to mess up both | 13:46 |
| RoyK | oh - you mean elastix as in a distro? | 13:47 |
| RoyK | that one? http://www.elastix.com/en/downloads/ | 13:47 |
| RoyK | just run a VM with it | 13:48 |
| RoyK | install kvm+libvirt and start virt-manager and install it | 13:48 |
| linocisco | RoyK, sure. Elastix recommends upgrade only from its release. no modification. I am not happy with performance of VM of my hardware resource. | 13:48 |
| RoyK | what sort of hardware? | 13:48 |
| RoyK | a VM usually gets 10% lower CPU than native, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem | 13:49 |
| linocisco | RoyK, HP Elite 8200 CMT and internet is very expensive here | 13:49 |
| RoyK | we run 90% of our servers virtualised ;) | 13:49 |
| linocisco | RoyK, it might be hardware virtualization like VMWare ESX-i. software virtualization is not so good in performance | 13:50 |
| RoyK | kvm uses hardware virtualisation | 13:50 |
| RoyK | just like ESXi | 13:51 |
| RoyK | Amazon is mostly using KVM these days | 13:53 |
| mybalzitch | I'm glad the most recent kvm update fixed virtualization on my server | 13:54 |
| mybalzitch | it had been broken for more than a year | 13:54 |
| RoyK | broken how? | 13:55 |
| mybalzitch | libvirt would complain about an unknown error when you launched a VM | 13:58 |
| linocisco | RoyK, Is KVM better than Oracle's Virtualbox? | 13:58 |
| mybalzitch | linocisco: kvm is not an oracle product, so that's nice | 13:58 |
| quantic | linocisco: Highly. | 13:58 |
| linocisco | mybalzitch, i know. it is linux's one | 13:58 |
| bekks | Virtualbox is an Oracle product, so its not that slow as KVM ;) | 13:59 |
| RoyK | linocisco: probably about the same - VirtualBox may be better on graphics, though, but usually you won't need that on a server | 13:59 |
| bekks | You can run VBox headlessly. | 13:59 |
| RoyK | bekks: yes, you can, but I was thinking about desktop virtualisation - last I tried that with kvm, it wasn't very good, but again, this is about a server, right? | 14:01 |
| RoyK | oh - seems KVM supports vGPU now too | 14:02 |
| RoyK | neat | 14:02 |
| RoyK | ESXi 6 supports that too - not 5.5, though | 14:02 |
| RoyK | linocisco: how much memory do you have in this box? | 14:10 |

| linocisco | hi all | 14:14 |
| linocisco | with reference to http://ubuntuserverguide.com/2013/02/manual-disk-partition-guide-for-ubuntu-server-edition.html, i m not quite sure about partition | 14:14 |
| RoyK | linocisco: just create a 1GB partition for /boot, with ext2, and then a partition with the rest of the disk for LVM, on LVM, create a LV for swap (same as memory size) and one for root (10GB should do for a start) on ext4. Add more later or increase sizes later if you need to | 14:16 |
| RoyK | always use LVM - it's way more flexible than partitions | 14:16 |
| linocisco | RoyK, I am thinking about dualboot as I said. so should I choose 50% first? | 14:18 |
| RoyK | linocisco: why dualboot? have you even triede KVM? | 14:19 |
| RoyK | tried, even | 14:19 |
| RoyK | or tested | 14:19 |
| RoyK | or whatever | 14:19 |
| RoyK | try virtualisation first | 14:19 |
| linocisco | RoyK, i should install KVM , right ? that will need internet to download, here more dowloading more money here with mobile internet I have here | 14:20 |
| linocisco | I have never successfully managed dualboot | 14:20 |
| RoyK | linocisco: the packages aren't very big | 14:20 |
| RoyK | the virtualisation level is in kernel - all you need are the support packages | 14:20 |
| linocisco | RoyK, honestly, I have internet with 3G SIM card with Nokia E5 handset. I dont know how to provide internet from that dump nokia to cli only server. that is why I am stuck | 14:21 |
| RoyK | linocisco: damn - where are you located? | 14:22 |
| RoyK | I don't think kvm/libvirt/virt-manager is much, though, perhaps a few megs | 14:23 |
| linocisco | RoyK, preferred not to say. but it is not expensive internet | 14:23 |

| quantic | ren0v0: You're creating a logical partition on an MBR formatted disk. | 16:54 |

| linocisco | how to edit grub file ? on boot, splash menu is so fast and I can't go into advanced options | 17:03 |
| lordievader | linocisco: vim /etc/default/grub|/etc/grub.d/*? | 17:06 |
| lordievader | Then run 'sudo update-grub2'. | 17:07 |
| linocisco | hi | 17:38 |
| linocisco | hi | 17:39 |
| linocisco | hi | 17:45 |
| lordievader | linocisco: Err, hello? | 17:45 |
| linocisco | i have problem with grub | 17:46 |
| linocisco | to change bigger fonts in CLI | 17:47 |
| lordievader | Grub has little to do with how fonts are rendered in tty's. | 17:47 |
| linocisco | lordievader, https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2932&sid=bc3bdda5c4cbb8bc4d4c7144e290f5dc | 17:49 |
| linocisco | lordievader, that trick fixed my fonts on ubuntu server version before | 17:49 |
| linocisco | lordievader, now I can't find that file. grub.cfg has no such line | 17:49 |
| lordievader | You don't want to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly. | 17:51 |
| lordievader | What trick are you referring to? | 17:51 |
| linocisco | lordievader, in the grub file, I need to find such line "kernel /vmlinuz-2.6-whatever ro root=/lots-of-numbers, KEYTABLE=us rhgb quet" | 17:52 |
| linocisco | and add nomodeset at the end . that fixed my problem with smaller fonts on CLI | 17:53 |
| lordievader | linocisco: That is /etc/default/grub. | 17:54 |
| bekks | lordievader: Which he states does not exist for him. | 17:55 |
| linocisco | bekks lordievader i swear I had used that trick | 17:56 |
| linocisco | so what is your trick to make smaller fonts in CLI to make it biggger? | 17:56 |
| lordievader | If that file ain't there grub is not installed. | 17:57 |
| linocisco | not only in CLI, also should be bigger in grub boot loader menu lines and font at boot time | 17:57 |
| lordievader | linocisco: What is the output of 'dpkg -l|grep grub'? | 17:57 |
| bekks | linocisco: So that file existed. What did you do to it so it doesnt exist anymore? | 17:57 |
| lordievader | Sounds like a driver not handeling modesetting properly. | 17:57 |
| linocisco | grub-common, grub-gfxpayload-lists grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common | 17:58 |
| linocisco | mine is 64bit | 17:58 |
| linocisco | i formatted HDD and reinstall with 14.04.2 x64 | 17:59 |
| linocisco | before was 32bit | 17:59 |
| bekks | linocisco: Whats the output of "ls -lha /etc/default/grub"? | 18:00 |
| * lordievader thought grub-pc or grub-common delivered /etc/default/grub | 18:00 | |
| linocisco | bekks, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2K Aug22 23:57 /etc/defult/grub | 18:02 |
| lordievader | So it does exist... | 18:02 |
| bekks | So that file exists - whats the problem now? | 18:02 |
| linocisco | let say what I have done to fix small fonts problem is wrong. ok? how do you fix if I were you? | 18:03 |
| bekks | Lets say you fix your first issue first. | 18:03 |
| bekks | nomodeset. | 18:03 |
| linocisco | bekks, I am looking for the correct file and correct line and correct place to add that "nomodeset" | 18:03 |
| bekks | !nomodeset | linocisco | 18:04 |
| ubottu | linocisco: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 18:04 |
| linocisco | bekks, thanks. finally Got it. that is what I am asking so long | 18:08 |
| bekks | You have een clued multiple times on how to do it, bt you ignored all clues. | 18:08 |
| linocisco | bekks, what I need is only that link "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132" | 18:09 |
| linocisco | correct ubuntu way | 18:09 |
| bekks | You were told how to do it the ubuntu way multiple times. | 18:10 |
| bekks | Whatever - did you fix it now? | 18:10 |
| linocisco | bekks, done. I didn't understand before I got that link because I am looking for that desired file | 18:11 |
| lordievader | Yes, and you were given that file several times. | 18:12 |
| linocisco | lordievader, I didn't see. i m sorry | 18:12 |
| bekks | And that link, too. | 18:12 |
| bekks | linocisco: You must have been ignoring clues the whole day then... | 18:13 |
| linocisco | bekks , I was being told /etc/default/grub. many times, but I dont know exactly where in which line to edit | 18:14 |
| linocisco | sorry for your time and my time. have a nice day | 18:14 |

| lordievader | The best way to learn is to use it. | 18:45 |
| linocisco | lordievader, somewhat correct. but level of knowledge is not the same for everyone. | 18:46 |
