[01:01] <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
[01:02] <caliculk> JanC just to get the data, but I already did so for now. I don't need it anymore.
[01:02] <JanC> okay  :)
[01:26] <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/)
[01:38] <dsfsdgdsg> in order for a user to have rw do you have set +x ? makes no sense
[01:39] <TJ-> that directory doesn't give the user any permissions
[01:42] <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* ?
[01:43] <edtoast_46> please try joining #edtoast .I would greatly appreciate it
[01:44] <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"?
[01:48] <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/
[01:54] <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*
[03:09] <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.
[03:18] <caliculk> This is what syslog states: http://pastebin.com/C7adWBcd
[09:24] <samthewildone> I recently did a "dpkg reconfigure console..." and my tty1 font is still very small
[09:25] <samthewildone> is there a way I can take this from 7.5pt to like 12 ?!

[11:17] <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.
[11:19] <tiblock> bekks, isnt there tools in ubuntu for that? I saw programs do like "update-alternatives" or something and after that programs are working.
[11:20] <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
[11:32] <jelly> tiblock: if it's not packaged, you should probably use /usr/local/bin PATH component instead of /usr/bin
[11:42] <tiblock> jelly, thank you
[12:49] <yoko> Hi, my simple question
[12:50] <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 ?
[12:52] <yoko> ok
[12:53] <teward> yoko: um...
[12:53] <teward> yoko: edit the apache configurations with sudo?
[12:54] <yoko> yes i used sudo
[12:54] <teward> and you edited the apache configurations and pointed the docroot to /home/myaccount/www ?
[12:55] <yoko> my apache2.conf file http://wklej.org/id/1781392/
[12:55] <yoko> yes
[12:56] <yoko> i have use localhost forum in normal account home
[12:56] <teward> ...
[12:56] <teward> you didn't edit this config
[12:57] <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
[12:58] <yoko> lighttp install ?
[12:58] <yoko> It only local localhost on theme created
[12:58] <teward> not what i meant
[12:59] <yoko> http://www.lighttpd.net
[13:01] <teward> yoko: include the /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf in a pastebin
[13:02] <yoko> http://wklej.org/id/1781396/
[13:03] <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
[13:04] <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)
[13:06] <yoko> i do
[13:07] <yoko> loclhost in adress - Forbidden  You don't have permission to access / on this server. Apache/2.4.10 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
[13:12] <yoko> thank for help hello
[13:30] <linocisco> hi all
[13:31] <linocisco> I am now trying to install ubuntu server 14.04.2 and at the stage of preparing hdd. After ubuntu server and I will install CEntOS later. How should I prepare HDD partition and recommended partition size and type as minimum requirement
[13:31] <linocisco> ?
[13:38] <linocisco> I am now trying to install ubuntu server 14.04.2 and at the stage of preparing hdd. After ubuntu server and I will install CEntOS later. How should I prepare HDD partition and recommended partition size and type as minimum requirement. I am thinking for dualboot
[13:39] <linocisco> I am now trying to install ubuntu server 14.04.2 and at the stage of preparing hdd. After ubuntu server and I will install CEntOS later. How should I prepare HDD partition and recommended partition size and type as minimum requirement. I am thinking for dualboot
[13:41] <RoyK> !ask
[13:42] <RoyK> !patience
[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?
[13:43] <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
[13:44] <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
[13:46] <RoyK> linocisco: I beleive you can run elastix on ubuntu too
[13:46] <linocisco> RoyK, I dont want to mess up both
[13:47] <RoyK> oh - you mean elastix as in a distro?
[13:47] <RoyK> that one? http://www.elastix.com/en/downloads/
[13:48] <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?
[13:49] <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 ;)
[13:50] <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
[13:51] <RoyK> just like ESXi
[13:53] <RoyK> Amazon is mostly using KVM these days
[13:54] <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
[13:55] <RoyK> broken how?
[13:58] <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
[13:59] <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.
[14:01] <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?
[14:02] <RoyK> oh - seems KVM supports vGPU now too
[14:02] <RoyK> neat
[14:02] <RoyK> ESXi 6 supports that too - not 5.5, though
[14:10] <RoyK> linocisco: how much memory do you have in this box?
[14:14] <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
[14:16] <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
[14:18] <linocisco> RoyK, I am thinking about dualboot as I said. so should I choose 50% first?
[14:19] <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
[14:20] <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
[14:21] <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
[14:22] <RoyK> linocisco: damn - where are you located?
[14:23] <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
[14:24] <linocisco> RoyK, preferred not to say. but it is so expensive internet
[16:52] <ren0v0> hi, when partitioning a disk, is it possible to control partition numbers? im trying to create a new partition and its calling it #5 ?
[16:54] <quantic> ren0v0: You're creating a logical partition on an MBR formatted disk.
[16:54] <quantic> ren0v0: That's normal. Primary partitions are 1-4. Extended/logical/whatever are 5+.
[16:55] <ren0v0> ok thanks :D
[16:55] <lordievader> You could choose to go with gpt instead.
[16:55] <quantic> ^
[16:55] <ren0v0> learn something everyday, always wondered why
[17:03] <linocisco> how to edit grub file ? on boot, splash menu is so fast and I can't go into advanced options
[17:06] <lordievader> linocisco: vim /etc/default/grub|/etc/grub.d/*?
[17:07] <lordievader> Then run 'sudo update-grub2'.
[17:38] <linocisco> hi
[17:39] <linocisco> hi
[17:45] <linocisco> hi
[17:45] <lordievader> linocisco: Err, hello?
[17:46] <linocisco> i have problem with grub
[17:47] <linocisco> to change bigger fonts in CLI
[17:47] <lordievader> Grub has little to do with how fonts are rendered in tty's.
[17:49] <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
[17:51] <lordievader> You don't want to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly.
[17:51] <lordievader> What trick are you referring to?
[17:52] <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"
[17:53] <linocisco> and add nomodeset at the end . that fixed my problem with smaller fonts on CLI
[17:54] <lordievader> linocisco: That is /etc/default/grub.
[17:55] <bekks> lordievader: Which he states does not exist for him.
[17:56] <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?
[17:57] <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.
[17:58] <linocisco> grub-common, grub-gfxpayload-lists grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common
[17:58] <linocisco> mine is 64bit
[17:59] <linocisco> i formatted HDD and reinstall with 14.04.2 x64
[17:59] <linocisco> before was 32bit
[18:00] <bekks> linocisco: Whats the output of "ls -lha /etc/default/grub"?
[18:00]  * lordievader thought grub-pc or grub-common delivered /etc/default/grub
[18:02] <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?
[18:03] <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"
[18:04] <bekks> !nomodeset | linocisco
[18:08] <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.
[18:09] <linocisco> bekks, what I need is only that link "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132"
[18:09] <linocisco> correct ubuntu way
[18:10] <bekks> You were told how to do it the ubuntu way multiple times.
[18:10] <bekks> Whatever - did you fix it now?
[18:11] <linocisco> bekks, done. I didn't understand before I got that link because I am looking for that desired file
[18:12] <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.
[18:13] <bekks> linocisco: You must have been ignoring clues the whole day then...
[18:14] <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] <bekks> You have benn told multiple times.
[18:14] <bekks> *been
[18:16] <linocisco> thanks anyway . done
[18:29] <linocisco> hi all, what is the recommended updated ubuntu server book?
[18:29] <linocisco> with most common troubleshooting real world examples
[18:29] <bekks> linocisco: The online documentation. Printed documentation is out of date before you read it.
[18:45] <lordievader> The best way to learn is to use it.
[18:46] <linocisco> lordievader, somewhat correct. but level of knowledge is not the same for everyone.
[18:47] <bekks> linocisco: you dont need the same level for learning by doing :)
[18:47] <lordievader> Hence the learning ;)
[19:05] <samthewildone> I need help to make my fonts bigger, I tried the dpkg reconfigure console command but, the fonts are still pretty tiny.
[19:07] <samthewildone> oh wait... nevermind I found it !
[19:22] <caliculk> Is logrotate no longer enabled on Ubuntu 15.04 server edition?
[19:31] <caliculk> I seem to be having an issue with logrotate not rotating logs, even when running logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf shows the appropriate values to rotate the logs
[21:39] <diego12> hola
[21:53] <samthewildone> currently did a shred from a remote to the server but, still logged in terminal
[21:53] <samthewildone> is there a way I can break away from the terminal and have the shred still run in th background ?
[21:54] <bekks> You would have needed to start it using tmux, screen or nohup
[21:57] <dweller_> Trying to get swap partition to work on a fresh install of 14.04.3. I get this error at startup: "The disk drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present". I have tried following the steps outline here: http://punygeek.blogspot.ca/2012/10/ubuntu-1204-how-to-solve-disk-drive-for.html which does show the swap partition is present after "free -m" but upon reboot, the problem persists.
[22:03] <oste> seeing a crazy situation - i have a deploy script that creates a symlink for nginx to read. It seems like this symlink is not updating - the site is served old symlinks
[22:03] <samthewildone> bekks: yeah kinda figured that out at the last minutew
[22:03] <samthewildone> bekks: thx
