=== markthomas is now known as markthomas|away [01:01] caliculk: do you really need an old Postgres version? if so, maybe use Ubuntu 12.04 for now? [01:01] and find some way to upgrade in the next couple of years [01:02] JanC just to get the data, but I already did so for now. I don't need it anymore. [01:02] okay :) [01:26] 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] in order for a user to have rw do you have set +x ? makes no sense [01:39] that directory doesn't give the user any permissions [01:42] interesting what should I google to work this out? [01:42] dsfsdgdsg: look at the pastebin... in particular, look at the owning *user* and *group* - what is the *group* ? [01:43] please try joining #edtoast .I would greatly appreciate it [01:44] the owning groups are *snort* and *adm* ? [01:44] dsfsdgdsg: no. The owning user is "snort". The owning *group* is "adm". Is your user a member of "adm"? [01:48] no I'm not in group adm only snort, sudo and user [01:48] dsfsdgdsg: that is why the user doesn't get access to /var/log/snort/ [01:54] 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] 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] It doesn't show up if I ty to manually access it, if I rollback the config file either. [03:18] This is what syslog states: http://pastebin.com/C7adWBcd === trick is now known as Guest78874 === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [09:24] I recently did a "dpkg reconfigure console..." and my tty1 font is still very small [09:25] is there a way I can take this from 7.5pt to like 12 ?!

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] tiblock: Add it to your path. [11:17] Or start it with "./myprogram" after changing to the directory where it is located. [11:19] 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] tiblock: update-alternatives will not help you in this case. [11:20] bekks, okay, thank you [11:20] tiblock: Whats the actual issue, behind your question? [11:20] bekks, just want to know maybe i doing something wrong [11:20] but looks like everything is fine [11:32] tiblock: if it's not packaged, you should probably use /usr/local/bin PATH component instead of /usr/bin [11:42] jelly, thank you [12:49] Hi, my simple question [12:50] 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] ok [12:53] yoko: um... [12:53] yoko: edit the apache configurations with sudo? [12:54] yes i used sudo [12:54] and you edited the apache configurations and pointed the docroot to /home/myaccount/www ? [12:55] my apache2.conf file http://wklej.org/id/1781392/ [12:55] yes [12:56] i have use localhost forum in normal account home [12:56] ... [12:56] you didn't edit this config [12:57] or rather [12:57] you provdied the WRONG configuration [12:57] yoko: the config for the sites is in sites-available. [12:57] i know [12:57] first [12:57] `sudo a2dissite default` [12:57] then edit the default configuration file in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/ folder [12:57] then `sudo a2ensite default` [12:57] `sudo service apache2 restart` [12:57] ERROR: Site default does not exist! [12:57] ... [12:57] i hate apache [12:58] lighttp install ? [12:58] It only local localhost on theme created [12:58] not what i meant [12:59] http://www.lighttpd.net [13:01] yoko: include the /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf in a pastebin [13:02] http://wklej.org/id/1781396/ [13:03] yoko: edit line 12 to be the correct docroot. [13:03] ie. /home/myaccount/ww [13:03] restart the apache2 process - sudo service apache2 restart [13:04] see if that fixes it [13:04] (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] i do [13:07] loclhost in adress - Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [13:42] 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] 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] 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] linocisco: I beleive you can run elastix on ubuntu too [13:46] RoyK, I dont want to mess up both [13:47] oh - you mean elastix as in a distro? [13:47] that one? http://www.elastix.com/en/downloads/ [13:48] just run a VM with it [13:48] install kvm+libvirt and start virt-manager and install it [13:48] 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] what sort of hardware? [13:49] a VM usually gets 10% lower CPU than native, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem [13:49] RoyK, HP Elite 8200 CMT and internet is very expensive here [13:49] we run 90% of our servers virtualised ;) [13:50] RoyK, it might be hardware virtualization like VMWare ESX-i. software virtualization is not so good in performance [13:50] kvm uses hardware virtualisation [13:51] just like ESXi [13:53] Amazon is mostly using KVM these days [13:54] I'm glad the most recent kvm update fixed virtualization on my server [13:54] it had been broken for more than a year [13:55] broken how? [13:58] libvirt would complain about an unknown error when you launched a VM [13:58] RoyK, Is KVM better than Oracle's Virtualbox? [13:58] linocisco: kvm is not an oracle product, so that's nice [13:58] linocisco: Highly. [13:58] mybalzitch, i know. it is linux's one [13:59] Virtualbox is an Oracle product, so its not that slow as KVM ;) [13:59] linocisco: probably about the same - VirtualBox may be better on graphics, though, but usually you won't need that on a server [13:59] You can run VBox headlessly. [14:01] 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] oh - seems KVM supports vGPU now too [14:02] neat [14:02] ESXi 6 supports that too - not 5.5, though [14:10] linocisco: how much memory do you have in this box? === fidothe_ is now known as fidothe === ming is now known as Guest97097 [14:14] hi all [14:14] 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] 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] always use LVM - it's way more flexible than partitions [14:18] RoyK, I am thinking about dualboot as I said. so should I choose 50% first? [14:19] linocisco: why dualboot? have you even triede KVM? [14:19] tried, even [14:19] or tested [14:19] or whatever [14:19] try virtualisation first [14:20] 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] I have never successfully managed dualboot [14:20] linocisco: the packages aren't very big [14:20] the virtualisation level is in kernel - all you need are the support packages [14:21] 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] linocisco: damn - where are you located? [14:23] I don't think kvm/libvirt/virt-manager is much, though, perhaps a few megs [14:23] RoyK, preferred not to say. but it is not expensive internet [14:24] RoyK, preferred not to say. but it is so expensive internet === MeltedLux is now known as Kappa === Kappa is now known as MeltedLux === Daviey_ is now known as Daviey === Luke_ is now known as Luke === khaldrogoxl is now known as khaldrogox [16:52] 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] ren0v0: You're creating a logical partition on an MBR formatted disk. [16:54] ren0v0: That's normal. Primary partitions are 1-4. Extended/logical/whatever are 5+. [16:55] ok thanks :D [16:55] You could choose to go with gpt instead. [16:55] ^ [16:55] learn something everyday, always wondered why [17:03] how to edit grub file ? on boot, splash menu is so fast and I can't go into advanced options [17:06] linocisco: vim /etc/default/grub|/etc/grub.d/*? [17:07] Then run 'sudo update-grub2'. [17:38] hi [17:39] hi [17:45] hi [17:45] linocisco: Err, hello? [17:46] i have problem with grub [17:47] to change bigger fonts in CLI [17:47] Grub has little to do with how fonts are rendered in tty's. [17:49] lordievader, https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2932&sid=bc3bdda5c4cbb8bc4d4c7144e290f5dc [17:49] lordievader, that trick fixed my fonts on ubuntu server version before [17:49] lordievader, now I can't find that file. grub.cfg has no such line [17:51] You don't want to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly. [17:51] What trick are you referring to? [17:52] 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] and add nomodeset at the end . that fixed my problem with smaller fonts on CLI [17:54] linocisco: That is /etc/default/grub. [17:55] lordievader: Which he states does not exist for him. [17:56] bekks lordievader i swear I had used that trick [17:56] so what is your trick to make smaller fonts in CLI to make it biggger? [17:57] If that file ain't there grub is not installed. [17:57] not only in CLI, also should be bigger in grub boot loader menu lines and font at boot time [17:57] linocisco: What is the output of 'dpkg -l|grep grub'? [17:57] linocisco: So that file existed. What did you do to it so it doesnt exist anymore? [17:57] Sounds like a driver not handeling modesetting properly. [17:58] grub-common, grub-gfxpayload-lists grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common [17:58] mine is 64bit [17:59] i formatted HDD and reinstall with 14.04.2 x64 [17:59] before was 32bit [18:00] 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] bekks, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2K Aug22 23:57 /etc/defult/grub [18:02] So it does exist... [18:02] So that file exists - whats the problem now? [18:03] let say what I have done to fix small fonts problem is wrong. ok? how do you fix if I were you? [18:03] Lets say you fix your first issue first. [18:03] nomodeset. [18:03] bekks, I am looking for the correct file and correct line and correct place to add that "nomodeset" [18:04] !nomodeset | linocisco [18:04] 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 [18:08] bekks, thanks. finally Got it. that is what I am asking so long [18:08] You have een clued multiple times on how to do it, bt you ignored all clues. [18:09] bekks, what I need is only that link "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132" [18:09] correct ubuntu way [18:10] You were told how to do it the ubuntu way multiple times. [18:10] Whatever - did you fix it now? [18:11] bekks, done. I didn't understand before I got that link because I am looking for that desired file [18:12] Yes, and you were given that file several times. [18:12] lordievader, I didn't see. i m sorry [18:12] And that link, too. [18:13] linocisco: You must have been ignoring clues the whole day then... [18:14] bekks , I was being told /etc/default/grub. many times, but I dont know exactly where in which line to edit [18:14] sorry for your time and my time. have a nice day [18:14] You have benn told multiple times. [18:14] *been [18:16] thanks anyway . done [18:29] hi all, what is the recommended updated ubuntu server book? [18:29] with most common troubleshooting real world examples [18:29] linocisco: The online documentation. Printed documentation is out of date before you read it. [18:45] The best way to learn is to use it. [18:46] lordievader, somewhat correct. but level of knowledge is not the same for everyone. [18:47] linocisco: you dont need the same level for learning by doing :) [18:47] Hence the learning ;) [19:05] I need help to make my fonts bigger, I tried the dpkg reconfigure console command but, the fonts are still pretty tiny. [19:07] oh wait... nevermind I found it ! [19:22] Is logrotate no longer enabled on Ubuntu 15.04 server edition? [19:31] 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] hola [21:53] currently did a shred from a remote to the server but, still logged in terminal [21:53] is there a way I can break away from the terminal and have the shred still run in th background ? [21:54] You would have needed to start it using tmux, screen or nohup [21:57] 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] 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] bekks: yeah kinda figured that out at the last minutew [22:03] bekks: thx === Darkman802_ is now known as Darkman802 === MeltedLux is now known as Keepo === Keepo is now known as MeltedLux
