lordievaderGood morning.08:57
Aisonhello10:45
AisonI upgraded trusty to vivid and since then dhcp is no longer working correctly10:45
Aisoni'm not sure if it is a problem of the server or the client10:45
bekkshaison ;)10:45
Aisonbekks, :)10:46
Aisonthe clients no longer set the default route10:46
Aisonas long as the server sends rfc3442-classless-static-routes, the clients set no default route11:00
Tyreal12could someone please help me, i'm attempting to install sysv-rc-conf onto my ubuntu server 14.04 32 bit and the message i get is package sysv-rc-conf is not available11:04
Tyreal12i am able to ping good via url so the server is connected to the internet11:05
Tyreal12google*11:05
TJ-Tyreal12: what does "apt-cache policy sysv-rc-conf" report?11:05
Tyreal12installed none , candidate non11:06
Tyreal12none*11:06
TJ-Tyreal12: Please pastebin the entire output of that command11:06
Tyreal12sysv-rc-conf :11:10
Tyreal12   Installed: (none)11:10
Tyreal12   Candidate: (none)11:10
Tyreal12   Version table:11:10
Tyreal12is that what you mean?11:10
AisonI found the reason: "If the DHCP server returns both a Classless Static Routes option and a Router option, the DHCP client MUST ignore the Router option."11:12
Aisonthis restriction is old, but most dhcp clients did not follow it11:12
TJ-Tyreal12: If there are no versions listed that means you didn't correctly install Ubuntu, and there is no valid "/etc/apt/sources.list"11:13
Tyreal12you're right, hmmmm i guess i shall attempt to reinstall again11:14

Tyreal12when installing ubuntu server 14.04 do i just want the OpenSSH server?11:34
Norbinwho knows what you want Tyreal12? :/11:35
Norbinyou might want LAMP etc...11:35
Norbinall up to you11:35
Norbinu can start with openssh and install others later on manually11:35
Tyreal12ok cool, that was the question i should've asked11:38
Tyreal12i went away and thought about it and it was a bit of a silly question11:38
Tyreal12i would just like to say thankyou for all of your help i have it set up with lamp12:05
Tyreal12is it possible to install a gui to the ubuntu server 14.04 if so could someone suggest one12:06
lordievaderTyreal12: It's possible but not frequently done.12:07
bekksTyreal12: Is that a server on the internet?12:07
Tyreal12 may i ask why12:07
Tyreal12it is connected to the internet yes12:07
NorbinTyreal12 sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop.... but.... can't recommend it12:07
bekksTyreal12: Is it located at your home?12:07
lordievaderTyreal12: Because servers are generally headless. thus the gui would rarely be seen.12:07
Tyreal12aaahk fair enough12:08
Tyreal12i was wanting to set up a gui and be able to remote access it12:08
bekksTyreal12: Is it located at your home?12:08
Norbinssh all the way12:08
Tyreal12yes bekks12:09
bekksTyreal12: So just install a desktop environment, and use something like freenx12:09
Tyreal12i'm getting dependency errors12:12
lordievaderTyreal12: Could you pastebin those?12:12
Tyreal12i'm not entirely sure on what you mean by pastebin12:14
lordievader!pastebin12:14

Tyreal12                 depends:lightdm12:20
Tyreal12and it goes on more12:20
Tyreal12did yand at the end it says unable to correct problems, you have help broken packages12:21
lordievaderThat is why I asked you to pastebin the output, prevents spamming the channel. (You could install pastebinit for that).12:24
lordievaderTyreal12: Can you install lightdm?12:25
Tyreal12no i can't12:27
Tyreal12that is miss libglib2.0-bin12:28
lordievaderTyreal12: Check if that package is available.12:29
Tyreal12fixed it and its installing now12:30
TJ-Tyreal12: All the problems you're having with these installs suggests there is some much larger problem - none of these issues should or do normally happen12:30
Tyreal12so will i be able to have the server as an ftp as well as be able to remote access it12:30
Tyreal12your'12:31
Tyreal12you're right there, however i'm slowly fixing them TJ however i really do appreciate all of your help12:31
lordievaderTyreal12: You are running Trusty right? How does your /etc/apt/sources.list look like? (Pastebin ;) )12:33
Tyreal12i do believe i am, i shall check once lightdm finishes installing12:33
TJ-Tyreal12: I'm wondering if the install media is faulty; the previous install there was no sources.list and no DNS resolution12:34
lordievaderErr, wut? That doesn't sound right indeed.12:35
TJ-lordievader: Right, it was very weird.12:35
Tyreal12yep all trusty12:36
lordievaderTyreal12: Now I'd like to see your sources.list12:38
TJ-Tyreal12: does the PC have full internet connectivity with DNS now?12:39
Tyreal12it does tj12:39
Tyreal12i can access the lamp via its domain12:39
Tyreal12lord that might take be a bit to type12:40
lordievaderTyreal12: Hence the pastebin utility: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit12:40
TJ-Tyreal12: If you can "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" that command can send text to a pastebin automatically12:40
Tyreal12yeah i'm seriously thinking i have a bad disc12:43
Tyreal12everything i12:43
Tyreal12download is coming up with errors in it12:43
TJ-Tyreal12: if you cannot install pastebinit due to system problems, you can do it manually with "cat /etc/apt/sources.list | nc termbin.com 9999"12:43
TJ-Tyreal12: I think your network gateway is wrongly configured, or there is some HTTP proxy / MITM12:44

bekks*plonk*12:47
lordievaderTyreal12: Please use pastebin next time.12:50
Tyreal12 sorry12:50
lordievaderTyreal12: It might be that your mirror is out of date, you could see if changing to the main mirror solves your problems.12:50
Tyreal12forgot to pastebin it12:51
Tyreal12how do i go about changing to main mirror12:52
lordievaderRemove the au from all th au.archive.u.c urls.12:54
lordievaderthe*12:54
Tyreal12 ok cool thats the answer i just found to12:56
TJ-Tyreal12: "sudo sed -i 's/au\.\(archive\)/\1/' /etc/apt/sources.list"12:57
Tyreal12i just changed them and doing an sudo update now12:58
Tyreal12looks like its all worked12:59
Tyreal12yep that did the trick13:00
TJ-If the AU mirror is causing these issues we ought to report it to the mirror team13:00
Tyreal12thank you so much for all of your help13:00
Tyreal12thats a really good idea13:00
TJ-Tyreal12: /join #ubuntu-mirrors and report it to the folks in that channel. Tell them the mirror seems to be missing Trusty packages/not responding correctly at all13:01
Tyreal12and now onto the next step once the desktop is installed, the ftp13:06
Tyreal12but i shall try not to bother you with it, once again thankyou for your help13:06
TJ-Tyreal12: If you really need FTP, vsftpd, but be sure you actually need it first. There are other ways of moving files such as 'scp' which uses the SSH protocol/client13:09
Tyreal12oh really? thankyou for that TJ13:10
Tyreal12i shall look into it13:10
TJ-Tyreal12: if you want to move trees of directories, read up on 'rsync' which also uses SSH under the hood for secure transfer13:11
quanticTyreal12: from an infosec perspective, ftp is the devil. :P13:11
Tyreal12thankyou! TJ also if you wouldn't mind me asking one last thing that you might be able to suggest would be remote access within and outside of the home network13:12
Tyreal12lol good to know13:12
quanticTyreal12: text console or gui?13:12
TJ-Tyreal12: Everyone uses 'ssh' for remote administration, it is THE standard tool13:12
quanticTyreal12: console is easy - ssh. gui? that's a bit more involved.13:12
TJ-Tyreal12: You can even forward X sessions over ssh if you insist on a GUI desktop on a 'server' :)13:13
Tyreal12i would love to set up both to be honest with you13:13
quanticTyreal12: what TJ- said. X forwarding over SSH.13:13
quanticTJ-: since I don't ever use it, what's a good X server for Windows?13:13
TJ-quantic: *shrugs* ... what is this Windows? :D13:14
quanticTJ-: lol13:14
quanticTyreal12: are you using Windows on the remote side?13:14
Tyreal12lol TJ13:15
Tyreal12i will be yeah, is that a bit more difficult? quantic13:15
quanticTyreal12: nope. see also: PuTTY.13:15
quanticTyreal12: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html13:15
quanticTyreal12: pretty much the go-to ssh client for windows.13:16
Tyreal12that would be 3rd part software correct?13:16
quanticTyreal12: and as for getting gui stuff running remotely, you'll need that plus an X server.13:16
quanticTyreal12: yes.13:16
quanticTyreal12: best x server I've found for windows is VcXsrv.13:16
quanticTyreal12: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/13:16
quanticTyreal12: Xming is also highly regarded.13:17
Tyreal12quantic: is putty a trusted 3rd party? reason why i ask is cause i have recently formatted and gone through hell and back to fix my computer so i only want trusted software on it13:17
Tyreal12by highly regarded do you mean secure?13:18
quanticTyreal12: in the world of ssh clients for windows, it's pretty much "putty or gtfo".13:18
TJ-putty has some companion applications that will do scp for you... winscp13:19
Tyreal12quantic: good to know lol13:19
quanticTJ-: or pscp, which comes with putty.13:19
Tyreal12as for accessing from ubuntu would i use the same program?13:19
quanticTyreal12: to level with you about security (its a big part of what I do professionally), the vast majority of security will be made or broken based on your practices, not on the software you use.13:20
quanticTyreal12: no, ubuntu (like any Linux/Unix system) has an ssh client built in. it's called "ssh".13:20
Tyreal12quantic: thankyou for that13:20
Tyreal12oh right lol duh13:20
tkxxxHow would I show the the contents of a text file in the shell, with auto numbered paragraphs please?13:21
quantictkxxx: im assuming that said paragraphs span multiple lines?13:22
tkxxxquantic: Yes, it does.13:22
TJ-tkxxx: how is a paragrpah defined?13:23
quantictkxxx: is there a line break in between, does the first line have an indent, etc?13:23
Tyreal12quantic: aaah lubuntu didn't come with it13:24
Tyreal12i had to install it13:24
quanticTyreal12: ssh?13:24
tkxxxTJ-: Yes, it's a line break defining the paragraph split13:24
Tyreal12quantic: yeah13:24
TJ-tkxxx: something like awk 'BEGIN{P=1} N!=1{print P, $0; N=1} /^$/{N=0}' /path/to/file13:24
tkxxxTJ-: Great, so awk is the tool to use for this? Absolutely appreciate this but is this the simplest way of doing it?13:25
tkxxxTJ-: I'd also like to print the last paragraph to the shell (in a separate command)13:26
TJ-tkxxx: I see to recall there is a tool that can do it in coreutils13:27
TJ-tkxxx: see 'man fmt'13:29
quanticgotta say... this is why I use ubuntu, anymore. in order distro channels that shall remain nameless, people are calling each other homophobic names and ranting about systemd.13:29
quantics/order/other/13:29
TJ-tkxxx: That seems to be more about reflowing into paras13:30
TJ-quantic: Oh, I like ranting about systemd too :p13:30
tkxxxTJ-: Cool, will have a look into this.13:30
Tyrealquantic: with putty do i download the putty.exe?13:31
quanticTyreal: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty-0.65-installer.exe13:31
quanticTyreal: that'll get you the whole set.13:31
Tyrealquantic: thankyou13:35
Tyrealquantic: so using PuTTY and VcXsrv i can move files back and forth from server to the computer i access the server from13:36
quanticTyreal: eh, no.13:36
quanticTyreal: Putty and X allow you to use GUI programs that are running on the server remotely on the client.13:37
quanticFile transfer is accomplished through scp, like using WinSCP.13:37
Tyrealthankyou for clearing that up for me13:37
quanticIt requires no setup beyond that of ssh. It's automatically running as long as an ssh server is running on the server.13:37
Tyrealok!13:38
Tyrealwhich there should be considering that was the one i had ticket when i setup the server initially13:38
Tyrealquantic may i ask you assistance one last time14:00
quanticTyreal: what's up?14:01
Tyreali've got ubuntu gui set up now. and i've got the PuTTY configuration up to remote access from Lubuntu, so my question is where do i go from here14:04
Tyreali need to find out what my domain name/ip address of the server14:04
Tyreali think i also need to configure the ssh14:05
fnewugfr94hello! what would be the best way to block complete access from some ip or subnet on ubuntu server? i found possibility with ufw, but are there any other, maybe even better ways to do that?16:19
RoyKfnewugfr94: just enable ufw - start with "ufw allow ssh" and "ufw enable" and take it from there. ufw is a frontend for iptables, so it's possible with raw iptables too, but ufw is a bit easier to learn16:22
fnewugfr94RoyK: i already have enabled ufw and few rules for ssh and other services in it. i guess that there is still important order of rules?16:23
RoyKthe order is important, yes. if a rule at the top allows for access to something and the ip address in question is blocked further down, it won't help. see ufw insert16:25
fnewugfr94RoyK: and the last question... what if I will need to block new ip addresses or subnets - can the number of deny rules affects response speed?16:27

RoyKfnurl: generally iptables is so fast it won't matter much, but I guess a thousand rules or so may add some microseconds16:58

roastedhi friends. Trying to get an NFS mount point set up between two ubuntu servers (14.04). This is my fstab on the client. It keeps saying bad fstab line 14. I can't seem to articulate where the issue is. http://pastebin.com/6edUYh5S17:30
roastedeverything is tabbed by the way17:31
RoyKroasted: [rw]size isn't really necessary17:31
RoyKroasted: but I beleive nfs4 is standard, so you might add sec=sys17:31
roastedoh, I wonder...17:32
roastedwould I not put nfs4 instead of nfs under type?17:32
bekksroasted: you should not use manual mountpoint inside /media since that directory is used by the automounter.17:32
RoyKbekks: on desktops, mostly17:32
roastedbekks: I switched to mnt to test but I got the same error.17:32
RoyKwhat error?17:33
roastedthe fstab is bad on line 14 error17:33
roastedas in, no change.17:34
qman__you have a space and teh word defaults17:34
qman__remove those17:34
qman__there are only six fields, you have seven because of that17:35
RoyKright - defaults isn't needed and if you want it anyway, use a comma, not a space17:35
roastedboom17:35
roastedthat was it17:35
roastedwhere do I overnight the beer? :P17:35
RoyKupload it :D17:36
roastedto my now-working owncloud?? :D17:36
RoyKowncloud is nice ;)17:38
roastedI dig it.17:40
roastedI need to look into containers sometime.17:40
roastedright now I have 14.04 on the hardware, then a 14.04 VM for external stuff (mostly to IP them separately and keep NAS internal and external stuff accessible externally)17:41
roastedbut I didn't want OC data in a virtual disk, so I NFS the mount point back to the RAID on the hardware-based-14.04-instance.17:41
