[00:02] <tarpman> setting a password (passwd as root) is probably all you need to do, then
[00:03] <grendal_prime> guys i got this situation where one of my linux guests locks up...takes up an entire processor.
[00:03] <Tsutsukakushi> tarpman: this has to be non-interactive...
[00:03] <tarpman> Tsutsukakushi: man 8 chpasswd
[00:04] <grendal_prime> its used as a wedge device to connect users of on a smart phone to a java application Linux mint desktop.
[00:04] <Tsutsukakushi> apparently --delete should remove any value... maybe this includes the lock too
[00:04] <Tsutsukakushi> i'll try tat
[00:04] <grendal_prime> it just decides...bam...
[00:04] <Tsutsukakushi> that
[00:07] <grendal_prime> where are the log files for individual guests stored again?
[00:08] <grendal_prime> nevermind i found them
[00:47] <grendal_prime> i never seen anything in these logs that seem to help.
[03:17] <phi0xz> hey guys, trying to figure out how to make a folder location such as /downloads/ be really a combination of two different folder paths, /downloads/ and /home/downloads/. my drives are split up so that / is one drive and /home/ is another, however my /downloads/ folder is now getting full on / and i want to take the space from /home/downloads/ and link it up to /downloads/ so that files i write to /downloads/ actually write to /home/
[03:17] <phi0xz> downloads/ if /downloads/ is full.
[03:19] <andol> phi0xz: Wouldn't you rather solve this at a lower level, combining buth those drives using say LVM?
[03:20] <phi0xz> sure. what happened was i have a rental server which was pre configured. they have a default system partition setup which i couldn't choose my own. didnt know if i could alter it easily?
[03:20] <phi0xz> i've never altered partition tables in linux after a install has already been done.
[03:20] <phi0xz> i've added drives but never altered.
[03:21] <phi0xz> is there a guilde you could point me to which may help accomplish this?
[03:21] <phi0xz> they also did software raid1 which i honestly dont need..
[03:21] <phi0xz> but its preconfigured
[03:30] <roasted> hi
[04:01] <hipitihop>  I have installed LXD on my 14.04 desktop as per https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/getting-started-cli/ and imported ubuntu via lxd-images but during launch apparmor complains "Incomplete AppArmor support in your kernel...lxc.aa_allow_incomplete = 1..."
[07:18] <hipitihop> For the benefit of others I ended up adding `lxc.aa_allow_incomplete = 1` to  /usr/share/lxc/config/ubuntu.common.conf
[07:45] <jvwjgames> My sftp is copying files but for some reason won't copy folders
[08:50] <jvwjgames> I need help
[08:51] <jvwjgames> I can't get past a server error 500
[10:01] <lordievader> Good morning.
[15:15] <Sagar> Hello, can anyone help us, our server is getting mad, not sure what is the issue and where it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/13990037/
[15:15] <Sagar>  It says We have detected that load average of your VPS  is above the allowed limit.
[15:16] <Sagar> Our vps was suspended, they said us to look into our VPS. Any help appriciated, SMTP and php fpm is getting made, not sure, why
[16:03] <patdk-lap> sagar, well, you are infected with a vaunerable php program
[16:03] <patdk-lap> and are sending spam
[16:42] <Wamphyri> is there a way to find out if php is lagging or if its mysql?
[16:43] <Capprentice> How to implement a spam filtering server?
[16:43] <Capprentice> It has to be transparent :(
[16:43] <Capprentice> and must have capasity to filter mails from gmail, hotmail etc.
[16:46] <Paaltomo> hi
[16:46] <Paaltomo> i'm trying to connect to an openvpn server i just set up on ubuntu
[16:46] <Paaltomo> but the tls key negotiation is failing to occur / handshake is failing
[16:46] <Paaltomo> what do
[16:46] <Paaltomo> ubuntu 14.10 afaik and antergos
[16:49] <Paaltomo> is it a port thing?
[16:59] <RoyK> Wamphyri: usually, just use top
[16:59] <RoyK> Wamphyri: large db?
[16:59] <Wamphyri> nope not at all
[16:59] <RoyK> Wamphyri: also, don't use mysql unless you really need to
[17:00] <Wamphyri> mysql using 1.7% but php-cgi jumps between 5% to 70%
[17:00] <RoyK> Wamphyri: install sysstat, enable it, install munin, watch the graphs or just use sysstat/sar
[17:00] <qman__> Paaltomo: that usually means you cannot establish a connection, check firewall settings and make sure you can route traffic to the server properly
[17:00] <RoyK> Wamphyri: it can be anything, you need to monitor things to see what's hanging
[17:00] <Paaltomo> qman_ thanks
[17:01] <Wamphyri> RoyK, thanks
[17:01] <Wamphyri> i've been watching top, just php/mysql running stupid slow lol
[17:03] <RoyK> Wamphyri: install the named tools
[17:03] <RoyK> Wamphyri: it'll tell you if it's i/o or cpu
[17:03] <Wamphyri> installed
[17:03] <Wamphyri> also enabled logging :)
[17:03] <RoyK> g99d
[17:03] <RoyK> good, even
[17:06] <Wamphyri> i'm beginign to get this feeling its i/o based
[17:07] <Wamphyri> mind you sar just blew up php-cgi
[17:07] <Wamphyri> used to be only one instance now i got about 30 of em
[17:11] <Wamphyri> RoyK, ok that app sucks nuggets, almost made my machine unusable
[17:18] <Wamphyri> RoyK, lmao 5 minutes trying to uninstall sysstat.. still sitting at building dependency tree
[17:25] <RoyK> Wamphyri: something must be messed up, hten
[17:26] <RoyK> Wamphyri: probably i/o fsckup
[17:26] <RoyK> Wamphyri: what does 'uptime' say about the load?
[17:27] <Wamphyri> dunno
[17:27] <RoyK> Wamphyri: or what about a ps axf|grep D # ?
[17:27] <Wamphyri> still at the same spot
[17:27] <RoyK> Wamphyri: probably a lot of processes in D state
[17:27] <RoyK> perhaps swapping?
[17:27] <Wamphyri> ps aux returned apache2 and php-cgi and a huge list of em
[17:28] <RoyK> Wamphyri: did you pipe it through | grep D ?
[17:28] <Wamphyri> na just ps aux then restarted apache2
[17:28] <Wamphyri> which helpped
[17:29] <RoyK> Wamphyri: pastebin output of 'free'
[17:29] <Wamphyri> alot, everything is moving again
[17:29] <Wamphyri> ok
[17:32] <Wamphyri> http://pastebin.com/1TZ1R8v8
[17:33] <Wamphyri> first time running sysstat, is it going to use all resources pretty much?
[17:34] <bekks> Wamphyri: Even without sysstat, your computer will use all available resources, when running linux.
[17:35] <Wamphyri> i ment will it hog them all
[17:35] <bekks> Which resources in particular do you talk about?
[17:36] <Wamphyri> any / all of them, i installed sysstat and my system turned into a turtle, 14 minutes to uninstall sysstat
[17:36] <bekks> Which resources in particular do you talk about?
[17:36] <bekks> Do you know which resources sysstat is showing you?
[17:38] <Wamphyri> alright, i'll rephrase. i installed sysstat, system became almost completly unusable, took 14 minutes to uninstall sysstat. (no point trying to run sysstat because system was virtually unusable)
[17:40] <bekks> Then look at free -m, top, ps -ef, vmstat and see whats hogging your box.
[17:40] <Wamphyri> here is the output of free http://pastebin.com/1TZ1R8v8
[17:41] <bekks> Looks fine.
[17:42] <Wamphyri> vmstat http://pastebin.com/KvfjPhu6
[17:42] <bekks> Just one line from vmstat is pointless.
[17:42] <bekks> Let it run for a minute, and post all of the output.
[17:43] <Wamphyri> it stopped itself
[17:43] <bekks> Because you did not tell it to run for a minute.
[17:46] <Wamphyri> http://pastebin.com/BjqR6n4i
[17:49] <bekks> Doesnt look like your system is "unusable".
[17:52] <Wamphyri> lmao, ok, i installed sysstat, apache2 / php-cgi usage when insane (ps aux to list it) so i tried to uninstall sysstat, after 5+ minutes of it sitting there building database 0% i ran service apache2 restart, that took 4 minutes to run. afterwards system managed to uninstall sysstat in a more "timely" manor
[18:04] <bekks> Wamphyri: Sounds like you should investigate your apache/php setup then.
[18:10] <Wamphyri> php-cgi runs between 5% to 70%
[18:10] <bekks> Doesnt mean anything.
[18:11] <bekks> Check the apache/php logs for whats happening, actually.
[18:14] <Wamphyri> would MaxRequestWorkers make it run slow?
[18:15] <bekks> Wamphyri: Depends on the value and the rest of the setup.
[18:22] <Wamphyri> bekks, php-cgi just exploded again, is there i can restore the system to original without direct access to it (through ssh preferable)
[18:22] <bekks> You cant do anything without having access to the system.
[18:23] <Wamphyri> physicial access?
[18:23] <bekks> "access to the system" means either physical access or access by ssh.
[18:23] <Wamphyri> jesus buddy do you not read my entire sentence?
[18:24] <bekks> I answered your question. I'm not responsible for you not wanting to hear specific things.
[18:40] <jelly> "exploded" is a bit nonspecific, best correlate whatever symptoms you're seeing with access.log
[18:55] <jvwjgames2> I am trying to solve a 500 server error
[18:55] <bekks> 500 server error on which server?
[18:56] <bekks> webserver, mailserver, etc.?
[18:56] <bekks> And running which Ubuntu?
[18:56] <jvwjgames2> Yes Ubuntu
[18:57] <teward> jvwjgames2: 500 means nothing without details on the software you're using that's generating it, the version of Ubuntu, etc.
[18:57] <teward> jvwjgames2: is it Apache?  NGINX?  Postfix?  PHP?
[18:57] <teward> what's generating the 500 error?
[18:57] <bekks> firefox :P
[18:57] <jvwjgames2> Here is the error log http://tfdatabase.net
[18:57] <bekks> Error log of WHAT?
[18:57] <teward> jvwjgames2: that's not useful
[18:58] <bekks> jvwjgames2: Start answering my questions please.
[18:58] <teward> jvwjgames2: the question at hand: What software generated that error.log, and are you seeing the 500 error when you navigate to a web site or what?
[18:58] <teward> jvwjgames2: if you want help, answer questions
[18:58] <teward> if you don't want help, don't answer questions, and continue to have the problem.
[18:58] <jvwjgames2> OK sorry it is Ubuntu server 14.04 LTS running Apache2
[18:59] <bekks> jvwjgames2: Fix all those "file not found" errors first.
[18:59] <jvwjgames2> I did
[19:00] <bekks> You didnt. They are in the log.
[19:00] <jvwjgames2> The error is at the bottom
[19:00] <bekks> Fix the "permission denied" error then.
[19:01]  * teward thinks he knows the next question from jvwjgames2
[19:06] <jvwjgames2> I cleared out the error.log but when I get the 500 error nothing generated
[19:06] <jvwjgames2> Only in access.lo
[19:06] <jvwjgames2> *log
[19:07] <bekks> Yeah.
[19:07] <bekks> And the access.log is what you posted.
[19:10] <jvwjgames2> Just reposted error and access.logs
[19:18] <jvwjgames2> Did you recheck cause I just reposted them
[21:48] <BrianBlaze420> once I make my rules for ufw and then reload it is it saved on reboot?
[22:09] <geetar> I can't print to a usb printer from a headless, non-gui ubuntu server using "lpr file-to-print.txt".  I *can* print from "cat file-to-print.txt > /dev/usb/lp0".  Any ideas what I can check?
[22:22] <geetar> Now, I *can* print from  "lpr file-to-print.txt", but not printing from remote laptop.
[22:22] <geetar> even  "lpr file-to-print.txt" using ssh is very slow though.
[22:40] <geetar> should I install full gui on the server to print with this machine or has anyone else been able to print with a headless gui-less ubuntu server?
[22:41] <geetar> I can print with the same printer on my ubuntu laptop flawlessly, but cant get the server to print
[22:41] <geetar> or at least can get it to print-serve properly
[22:42] <geetar> just now got it to print a test pdf through "lpr"
[22:45] <JanC> did you look for errors in the logs?
[22:45] <geetar> JanC: yes, but looking again ..
[22:51] <geetar> JanC: I have a thousand "Unable to create SSL server key file "/etc/cups/ssl/server.key" - No such file or directory" entries in error_log .  I thought I avoided that problem by re-installing cups.  But that gave me other problems that I thought were resolved.  I cannot find on google or duckduck any other problems with cups and SSL.
[22:52] <JanC> and logs or verbose errors on the laptop when you try to print from it?
[22:53] <JanC> and I'm sure you don't need a GUI to print, but maybe you need some configuration change (permissions? is it listening "on the outside" or only on localhost? etc.)
[22:53] <geetar> The SSL issue I think was why I could not get into this machine and manage the printers with the browser through 192.168.0.2:631.  I kept getting permissions errors.
[22:54] <geetar> JanC: I am about to get into the server through 192.168.0.2:631 now.  After reinstalling CUPS.
[22:57] <geetar> JanC: but I assume that the long delay I am getting it the server writing a thousand ""Unable to create SSL server key file "/etc/cups/ssl/server.key" - No such file or directory" in the error logs.  As I said, I uninstalled cups.  Re-installation did not re-create the config files.  I put them back and then it worked.  I got into the cups through the browser.
[23:00] <geetar> The SSL folder in /etc/cups/ had links to ssl keys but they would not let me through the browser.  I can find nothing on the web about when or why or how the SSL certificates are created and how to fix this issue.
[23:01] <geetar> They were not re-created when I uninstalled and then re-installed CUPS.  In fact, the default config files were not re-created when I re-installed CUPS.  Why is that?
[23:03] <geetar> BTW it is still creating "Unable to create SSL server key file "/etc/cups/ssl/server.key" - No such file or directory" entries in the error log
[23:04] <geetar> Can someone verify that in /etc/cups/ssl they have links to SSL certificates?
[23:04] <geetar> Does anyone know how or why the ssl folder in /etc/cups/ssl gets created?
[23:09] <OerHeks> geetar, mine during fresh install, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13999403/
[23:10] <tarpman> geetar: how -> see /var/lib/dpkg/info/cups.postinst
[23:10] <tarpman> geetar: why -> to provide a default self-signed server cert so that you can use cups securely without having to buy a certificate
[23:11] <tarpman> geetar: if you delete a config file, dpkg respects your wish to have it gone and does not bring it back if you remove and reinstall a package. if you *purge* and reinstall the package, the default configs will come back
[23:11] <tarpman> geetar: or reinstall the package using dpkg --force-confnew
[23:11] <geetar> OerHeks: thanks, helpful, similar to mine before.  I will restore.
[23:12] <tarpman> pardon me, --force-confmiss
[23:18] <geetar> tarpman: thanks.  I "apt-get --purge" cups.  Which I thought would make it start over when I re-installed, but it did not re-create any config files when I re-installed.  Thanks, too, trying --force-confnew
[23:22] <tarpman> geetar: pardon me, the package that sets up the certs (and some other configs) is cups-daemon, not cups itself
[23:24] <geetar> tarpman: "sudo apt-get install cups-daemon" claims I am at the newest version.
[23:25] <tarpman> geetar: I meant cups-daemon is the package you need to purge and reinstall if you want the configs re-created
[23:25] <geetar> ah, k
