| guest1_ | I just installed the latest Ubuntu Server OS 16. I can SSH into it fine if Im on the network its running on, whats the best option for accessing out of network range? | 00:59 |
| tempspace | Hey all. I am migrating my infrastructure from Debian Wheezy to Xenial. In wheezy, if I run the command sudo -u user command, it would use the ssh key from that user's ssh dir. In Xenial, sudo doesn't do that any longer. Hints? | 01:23 |
| tempspace | nm, had to use -i now, combined with executing things through sh -c | 01:33 |

| sambagirl | can someone send me a link for configuring a domain with bind9 for a static server? thanks | 04:48 |
| sambagirl | a simple but effective procedure. | 04:49 |
| b4r | sambagirl: https://askubuntu.com/questions/330148/how-do-i-do-a-complete-bind9-dns-server-configuration-with-a-hostname? | 04:56 |
| sambagirl | ok thanks b4r | 04:56 |
| sambagirl | yuck b4r | 04:58 |
| b4r | sambagirl: not what you wanted? | 04:58 |
| sambagirl | one would think that you could just simply apply a few values and run a script and fix it like that. | 04:58 |
| sambagirl | ot | 04:58 |
| b4r | you could do fix it that simply if you had a script/program to do it for you ;) | 04:59 |
| sambagirl | it's way to technical and convoluted. i've looked at a bunch of different procedures but they are so different in ways that it doesn't make sense. I was wondering if i can do it witbh webman or one of the other management systems. what you just pointed to me is surely the correct procedure but jeez oh man. | 05:00 |
| sambagirl | i can't find one b4r | 05:01 |
| sambagirl | and if i did i dont know if i would trust it | 05:01 |
| b4r | afaik there aren't any nice tools for this sort of thing | 05:02 |
| sambagirl | seems to me that during the lamp install or the server install there should be an option for domain and static ip installation. maybe there was and i didnt see it? | 05:02 |
| sambagirl | i dont think there is either | 05:03 |
| b4r | you mean like when you install postfix and mysql dialogue boxes? | 05:03 |
| sambagirl | well i was thinking around that time or when you do the initial server specific iso installation or if it is a netinstall | 05:03 |
| sambagirl | well here is a question. which dns servers do you have to use? the ones you create yourself? or the ones that the isp provides or google dns servers? | 05:04 |
| b4r | you mean for your own hosting? | 05:05 |
| sambagirl | yes | 05:05 |
| b4r | depends on the situation but I'm gonna go ahead and say to use your own | 05:05 |
| b4r | so you bought the domain, then point the domain to use your dns server | 05:06 |
| sambagirl | for example i have 5 static ips and i have 4 servers and i use one ip for a wireless router. so for a couple of the servers i wanted to use a domian name | 05:06 |
| sambagirl | so the dns server can be on the same server? i dont have to have a separate box for the dns server? i keep seeing about virtual servers for dns servers. that is what is throwing me. | 05:07 |
| sambagirl | and i see where that link you sent says dont use .com well why not? | 05:08 |
| b4r | I'm not gonna claim to know a bunch about all that but it's possible to use it all on the same server | 05:08 |
| b4r | it does? | 05:08 |
| sambagirl | that is what i think too | 05:08 |
| * b4r reads | 05:08 | |
| sambagirl | yep look | 05:08 |
| sambagirl | it says use .net or hom | 05:09 |
| b4r | I'm gona say it's not an accepted answer to the post | 05:09 |
| b4r | but it has otherwise decent information | 05:09 |
| sambagirl | yes | 05:09 |
| b4r | oh but it is a community wiki so idk | 05:10 |
| sambagirl | i will see if i can first do this in a vm server so not to mess up that one server i have in mind to do this to | 05:11 |
| sambagirl | why are the always subdomains though? | 05:11 |
| sambagirl | i have no interest in doing a subdomain | 05:11 |
| b4r | maybe they wanted to be thorough and assumed the dns server would be used by inter- and intra-net users so the more specific names can be accessed | 05:12 |
| sambagirl | yeah i suppose so | 05:13 |
| sambagirl | but i still think that there should be a aspect of the server iso installation for configuring a domain name. | 05:16 |
| b4r | I don't see why that wouldn't be an unreasonable request | 05:16 |
| sambagirl | i suspect there is a reason why that isn't a part of the installation now. | 05:17 |
| b4r | probably no one's gotten to that list item yet ;) | 05:17 |
| sambagirl | hey thanks b4r for the ideas and support! chat later! peace! | 05:52 |

| theblindghoulie3 | I need some assistance configuring my server | 16:31 |
| ikonia | just ask then | 17:04 |
| ccha5 | hello is there any altervative to reprepro ? | 17:58 |
| bekks | What is that? | 17:59 |
| theblindghoulie3 | Server help! | 18:12 |
| theblindghoulie3 | Cant access server outside of LAN | 18:12 |
| bekks | Why not? | 18:12 |
| theblindghoulie3 | Have port foward to 80, 21, and 22. For SSH and FTP | 18:12 |
| bekks | Forget oprtforwardings, they arent necessary for accessing things outside your LAN. | 18:13 |
| theblindghoulie3 | ok, whats the next issue to look at? | 18:13 |
| bekks | First you need to TELL us the actual issue. | 18:13 |
| theblindghoulie3 | I have the latest Ubuntu Server OS installe on a Lenovo PC. I wanted to setup a server to store and transfer files. I installed and setup the router for FTP and SSH. However, I want to be able to access the server while at home or out and about. I cant do that because when I try to connect to the server outside the network it rejects the login | 18:16 |
| bekks | Can you name the version you are using pleasE? | 18:16 |
| theblindghoulie3 | Ubuntu Server 16.0.4.1 | 18:17 |
| bekks | So you are trying to access, from within your network, the public IP of your router? | 18:18 |
| theblindghoulie3 | Access the server from outside the network | 18:19 |
| bekks | So take a look at the logs of the service yuo are trying to access. | 18:20 |
| theblindghoulie3 | Im thinking it has something to do with Apache | 18:36 |
| bekks | Why would apache has anything to do with ssh or ftp? | 18:37 |
| bekks | *have | 18:37 |
| theblindghoulie3 | It doesnt I dont believe, this is my first attempt at setting up a server, so Im still learning. | 18:41 |
| theblindghoulie3 | I'll keep researching. | 18:41 |
| bekks | Take a look at the logs. | 18:42 |
| theblindghoulie3 | I went to the logs, but I dont see anything thats helping me figure out the right question to ask. | 18:43 |
| bekks | You experienced the problem that you are denied to log in. Search for traces of that issue, at the timestamps when that issue occured. | 18:44 |
| theblindghoulie3 | the log file for FTP (vsftpd.log) shows the successful attempts but not the failed | 18:59 |
| theblindghoulie3 | ok the auth.log file for SSH has a bit more to look through, would you like me to screenshot the log file? | 19:04 |
| _Crash_ | I've just followed the Perfect Server tutorial for Ubuntu 16.04 and I've come across an issue where my mail seems to direct to my System User instead of the email Mailbox | 20:01 |
| _Crash_ | So if I SSH in, It'll show me my email if I type "mail", but it shouldn't since it should direct to the dovecot mailbox? | 20:01 |
| _Crash_ | I can view the mail when I SSH in, but if I check my mail on my phone, my mailbox is empty | 20:02 |
| _Crash_ | any ideas? | 20:13 |
| ikonia | _Crash_: talk to the people who wrote the guide | 20:31 |

| k2gremlin | Hello all, I have a small problem on my Media server. I have a secondary drive mounted in /Storage that I use for media. In that folder, I have movies, tv show folders and such | 21:37 |
| k2gremlin | Now the problem I have is I cannot ls the /Storage folder.. but if I cd /Storage/movies and run ls it works | 21:38 |
| k2gremlin | if I ls /Storage it just freezes up. Only way I can recover is to close my ssh session and log back in. One way I have found to temporarily fix the problem is a quick reboot. However, it keeps coming back | 21:39 |
| k2gremlin | Anyone seen this before | 21:39 |
| bekks | Just show us the permissions of /Storage | 21:39 |
| k2gremlin | drwxrwxr-x | 21:40 |
| k2gremlin | bekks, It works fine for a few hours after a reboot. But randomly if I less a few hours later, it will just freeze the SSH session | 21:41 |
| bekks | Sounds like the drive disconnects then. | 21:41 |
| k2gremlin | But I can go to /Storage/movies | 21:41 |
| k2gremlin | and run ls there.. I can also play movies from it | 21:42 |
| k2gremlin | so really confused lol | 21:42 |
| k2gremlin | I am in the directory.. df . shows.. /dev/sdb 412718256 49517132 342213220 13% /Storage | 21:43 |
| k2gremlin | So it's still mounted. | 21:43 |
| bekks | Tak a lok at dmesg then. | 21:44 |
| bekks | *take | 21:44 |
| k2gremlin | bekks, INFO: task ls:7946 blocked for more than 120 seconds. wtf? | 21:47 |
| bekks | k2gremlin: thats a random line from dmesg with no further context. what do you expect me to answer now? | 21:47 |
| k2gremlin | bekks, sorry, I am grabbing the whole thing for pastebin | 21:48 |
| k2gremlin | bekks, http://pastebin.com/jr2y5mkQ same message when I try to sftp http://pastebin.com/jr2y5mkQ | 21:50 |
| k2gremlin | sftp to that directory | 21:50 |
| k2gremlin | bekks, Well, weird.. it is working now without reboot. | 21:50 |
| bekks | k2gremlin: as can be seen, you have severe issues with that cifs stuff, and you should reboot+ | 21:55 |
| k2gremlin | bekks, Yea I had this problem last night and rebooted it. Only been up 22 hours lol | 21:56 |
| k2gremlin | I have 2 folders INSIDE of /Storage that are mounted cifs to other systems | 21:57 |
| k2gremlin | but that shouldnt stop me from lsing /Storage? | 21:57 |
