| IShavedForThis_ | hey! does anybody have an experience running an ubuntu server bittorent client with a proxy? I'm having some difficulties setting it up | 02:13 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | I wouldn't be surprised if some clients don't easily support a proxy | 02:14 |
| IShavedForThis_ | yeah it's looking like transmission-daemon doesnt | 02:14 |
| IShavedForThis_ | and I'm not quite sure why | 02:14 |
| sarnold | IShavedForThis_: this looks sane https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/wiki/Tor-based-Proxying-Guide#step-3-rtorrent | 02:19 |
| IShavedForThis_ | would you happen to know any that do? | 02:19 |
| IShavedForThis_ | ahh. Tors a little heavy, plus I would hate to congest it downloading whatever I'm downloading. I already own PIA | 02:20 |
| sarnold | yeah I wouldn't want to torrent over tor. I expect that's miserable. | 02:22 |
| sarnold | but there's the configuration settings to use socks proxies :) | 02:22 |
| IShavedForThis_ | lol for me, and all the people that actually have to use tor | 02:22 |
| IShavedForThis_ | awesome! would you recommend rtorrent? | 02:22 |
| sarnold | yeah, it was awesome stuff. the display is a bit baffling but it runs great inside tmux or screen | 02:23 |
| IShavedForThis_ | well I usually use a web interface anyway. does this have one? | 02:24 |
| IShavedForThis_ | actually don't answer that. I do own a google | 02:24 |
| sarnold | oh I've heard good things about the google it must be nice to own one :) | 02:25 |
| IShavedForThis_ | its just a fad. | 02:25 |
| IShavedForThis_ | So this is telling me to disable all UDP support? would I need to forward a port or can I just leave that intact since im not using tor | 02:26 |
| sarnold | if your udp can be routed then you can probably leave it turned on | 02:26 |
| IShavedForThis_ | I'm not sure what that means. I'm still new to Linux servers as a whole | 02:27 |
| IShavedForThis_ | (and home networks) | 02:27 |
| sarnold | well, why do you need the proxy? normally you use a proxy because your packets can't be routed off the network but you know a machine that -can- talk to the internet.. | 02:28 |
| IShavedForThis_ | because I would like to download torrents without my ISP knowing I am | 02:31 |
| IShavedForThis_ | or am I a complete idiot and thats not what proxies do lol | 02:31 |
| sarnold | then you may wish to disable the udp support in rtorrent and maybe even figure out how to run your dns through the proxy as well. | 02:33 |
| IShavedForThis_ | hmm. Should I skip the proxy then, and use the VPN service for only the transmission daemon? or is that not possible | 02:36 |
| IShavedForThis_ | because I definitely dont want my entire home network using the VPN | 02:37 |
| === marahin_ is now known as marahin | ||
| === marahin is now known as Guest92876 | ||
| sarnold | that might work. I don't know much about network namespaces but maybe you could just run your torrent client and vpn thing in the same VM instance | 02:38 |
| IShavedForThis_ | that sounds complex as fuck lol. Is there any reason why a proxy wouldn't work? Like I said, I'm still fairly new with this so don't know too much | 02:44 |
| sarnold | proxies are often just for dns traffic | 02:45 |
| sarnold | sigh | 02:45 |
| sarnold | it's time for me to stop working obviously :) | 02:46 |
| sarnold | proxies are often just for *TCP* traffic | 02:46 |
| sarnold | since most DNS traffic starts out at UDP, it's often not proxied | 02:46 |
| IShavedForThis_ | ahhh. okay so it wouldn't really do a damn thing | 02:47 |
| sarnold | which is why the tor people go on about dns at length :) | 02:48 |
| andol | Well, SOCKS5 support proxying UDP. | 02:49 |
| IShavedForThis_ | I do have socks5 | 02:49 |
| sarnold | andol: oh? I hadn't heard that :) thanks | 02:49 |
| IShavedForThis_ | thanks a bunch sarnold. I haven't used a proxy since highschool so I never knew any of that | 02:50 |
| IShavedForThis_ | and thanks andol. Do you happen to use a socks5 proxy for a bittorrent client? | 02:51 |
| andol | IShavedForThis_: Nope | 02:52 |
| * andol did a bit more reading, and while SOCKS5 itself defines UDP support, not all SOCKS5 proxies actually implement it. | 02:53 | |
| IShavedForThis_ | hmm. I wonder if PIA uses it. I'm going to google. | 02:53 |
| IShavedForThis_ | unless I can find a way to install PIA on the headless and only VPN that one specific program | 02:54 |
| IShavedForThis_ | https://schnouki.net/posts/2014/12/12/openvpn-for-a-single-application-on-linux/ | 02:56 |
| IShavedForThis_ | is this still applicable? or is it outdated? | 02:57 |
| sarnold | that's the network namespacing I mentioned twenty minutes back :) | 02:57 |
| IShavedForThis_ | ahhhhh | 02:58 |
| IShavedForThis_ | is it as complicated as it looks?/ | 02:58 |
| sarnold | it should still work | 02:58 |
| sarnold | oddly enough it's probably even more complicated than it looks | 02:58 |
| sarnold | but it seems to work okay for folks :) | 02:58 |
| IShavedForThis_ | fuck | 02:58 |
| IShavedForThis_ | ill pay someone 5 bucks on paypal if they can get it working | 03:01 |
| profall | Will I have any issues running Ubuntu 16.04 with the 3.13 Kernel? | 04:24 |

| adrian_1908 | On my VPS there's an "ubuntu" user with a home directory. Is this normal for Ubuntu server installations? (It might be the provider's doing, just making sure) | 10:30 |
| Frickelpit | looks like a pre-configured cloud-image | 10:40 |
| rbasak | adrian_1908: yeah - if using a cloud image, it's the default. | 12:03 |
| adrian_1908 | rbasak: ah the cloud image. that explains why I didn't immediately find something while searching. thanks! | 12:04 |
| catphish | can anyone tell me the status of CVE-2016-10229 in ubuntu 16.04? there seems to be a lot of mixed info about what kernels are affected | 13:05 |
| rbasak | https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2016/CVE-2016-10229.html | 13:05 |
| rbasak | It's fixed except on some phone kernels | 13:06 |
| catphish | what does DNE mean? | 13:06 |
| rbasak | Does Not Exist | 13:06 |
| catphish | thanks, i'll try to find my kernel in that pile | 13:07 |
| rbasak | It looks like 16.04 was never affected. | 13:07 |
| catphish | that's good news, i'm running various versions of 4.4 (the defaults in 16.04) | 13:08 |
| catphish | i guess it's just the "linux" package, "Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus): not-affected (4.4.0-2.16)" | 13:09 |
| catphish | so that's good | 13:09 |

| WACOMalt | Hello. I am having an issue with a dedicated server I am accessing via ILO. trying to install ubuntu 16.04.2 | 18:28 |
| WACOMalt | It is currently hanging on "Creating ext2 file system for /boot in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda)..." | 18:29 |
| dpb1 | WACOMalt: do you know which physical disk that is in the system? Could be any number of things. | 18:43 |
| WACOMalt | dpb1: it only has one drive | 18:49 |
| WACOMalt | ILO has got to be the worst thing I have ever used... | 18:50 |
| === ducasse_ is now known as ducasse | ||
| dpb1 | DRAC isn't much better. /me jokes | 18:51 |
| mason | I miss serial aggregators and Sun hardware. | 18:52 |
| dpb1 | WACOMalt: first suggestion I would have is to replace that disk and try again. process of elimination. | 18:52 |
| WACOMalt | I have no physical access. Support ticket time! | 18:52 |
| dpb1 | WACOMalt: indeed! | 18:53 |
| tomreyn | WACOMalt: if it's acurrent HP ILO, it should be usable (even convenient). of course it works entirely different than sun hardware does for OOB management. | 19:02 |
| tomreyn | s/does/did/ | 19:03 |
| tomreyn | it's got both a web UI (with KVM, remote media mounts etc.) and CLI (via SSH) | 19:04 |
| WACOMalt | dpb1 is there a good linux distro I can run live to try and test this disk? | 19:16 |
| WACOMalt | something small as it'll have to be shared over network to the ILO server | 19:16 |
| genii | TCL | 19:19 |
| tomreyn | http://tinycorelinux.net/ | 19:31 |
| bekks | WACOMalt: you can share enire dvd to the ilo. :) | 19:41 |
| WACOMalt | bekks: I dont know how to do that. I just clicked mount CD and chose an ISO from my local machine | 19:42 |
| WACOMalt | and its not taking any keyboard input on the ubuntu setup to choose install ubuntu :/ | 19:42 |
| bekks | WACOMalt: and thats how you share an iso image. of a small cd, a normal cd, or a full blown dvd. | 19:43 |
| bekks | WACOMalt: did you acquire the ILO session? | 19:43 |
| WACOMalt | I dont know what that means... but I'm currently looking at the console | 19:43 |
| bekks | and you can use your keyboard within? | 19:44 |
| WACOMalt | I can hit enter to choose Enlish | 19:44 |
| WACOMalt | but anything past that doesnt work | 19:44 |
| WACOMalt | *English | 19:44 |
| WACOMalt | I'm running dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=63 | 19:45 |
| WACOMalt | maybe that will let the normal formatter in ubuntu installer work | 19:46 |
| bekks | WACOMalt: what are you trying to achieve by doing so? | 19:46 |
| WACOMalt | basically if I use my hosts's pre-built provisioning image, it freezes on formatting the drive | 19:46 |
| WACOMalt | I'm hoping by wiping it first this will continue | 19:46 |
| WACOMalt | since I am unable to manually run the install it seems since I have no keyboard | 19:46 |
| bekks | I strongly doubt it. | 19:47 |
| === coreycb is now known as coreycb_vaca | ||
| WACOMalt | So ubuntu 16.04 install hangs at 33%. formatting /dev/sda for /boot | 19:56 |
| WACOMalt | https://hastebin.com/oluhavejuj.sql is the smart status of the drive | 19:56 |
| WACOMalt | what can I try? | 19:56 |
| bekks | WACOMalt: How long did you wait? | 19:57 |
| WACOMalt | 3 hours | 19:57 |
| WACOMalt | it's a 500GB sata drive | 19:57 |
| bekks | WACOMalt: did you check dmesg? | 19:57 |
| WACOMalt | dont know how. will google | 19:57 |
| bekks | WACOMalt: nothing to google, its a command to be typed. | 19:58 |
| WACOMalt | would that still be there after power cycling? I am unable to get to a terminal while it's frozen there | 19:58 |
| bekks | WACOMalt: No. | 19:58 |
| WACOMalt | I've seen this issue before with ubuntu installs in forums | 19:59 |
| WACOMalt | and people say to format the drive first and then tell it not to format during install, but I cant do that since it;s a silent installer it seems, just rushes through things right to a progress bar | 20:00 |
| WACOMalt | and I cant use my keyboard | 20:00 |
| bekks | Thats an issue to be fixed first, then. | 20:00 |
| WACOMalt | I am trying ILO (ILO 2) over internet explorer | 20:00 |
| bekks | Which HP server is it? | 20:00 |
| WACOMalt | I have been unable to get the java one to work at all | 20:01 |
| WACOMalt | despite now installing a ton of different java versions and firefox versions to try to get it | 20:01 |
| bekks | It tells you which version to use :P | 20:01 |
| WACOMalt | and then the download link to it is broken on the ILO info page | 20:01 |
| WACOMalt | isnt there like a actual program I can use to do this? | 20:01 |
| bekks | A program to do what? | 20:02 |
| WACOMalt | like how I would used vinvnc or something to hook to a vnc remote desktop | 20:08 |
| WACOMalt | why are there no ILO clients | 20:08 |
| bekks | Ask HP. | 20:09 |
| WACOMalt | have to rely on insanely outdated java versions in outdated browsers, or clunky activex in an terrible browser | 20:09 |
| bekks | Which HP server in particular do you have? | 20:09 |
| bekks | You are using a horribly outdated system when still having an ILO2. | 20:09 |
| WACOMalt | HP BL260C Dual E5420 | 20:25 |
| bekks | Its a horribly outdated server blade. | 20:28 |
| WACOMalt | gotcha :/ | 20:29 |
| bekks | A G5 one. | 20:29 |
| WACOMalt | horribly as in what year would this have been considered ok? | 20:29 |
| genii | Probably 2003-ish | 20:35 |
| WACOMalt | holy crap | 20:39 |
| WACOMalt | I didnt realize that. | 20:40 |
| WACOMalt | in that case I'm amazed it's working at all | 20:40 |
| WACOMalt | welp, running mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda from sysrcd seems to have solved it | 20:41 |
| SineDeviance | hi all! i'm running ubuntu-server x64 16.04. my question is, how do i run a script from a specific directory as a user during boot time? | 20:58 |
| patdk-wk | cron | 20:58 |
| patdk-wk | make an systemd init script | 20:58 |
| drab | SineDeviance: depends what "boot time" means, would rc.local work? otherwise systemd | 20:58 |
| patdk-wk | add it to rc.local (pretty evil) | 20:58 |
| SineDeviance | i like the service option better, yeah | 20:58 |
| SineDeviance | drab: not sure | 20:58 |
| mason | patdk-wk: Does Ubuntu support user systemd services? | 20:59 |
| drab | SineDeviance: rc.local will run at the very end of the process and it's kind of dirty, a systemd service would be better | 20:59 |
| patdk-wk | no idea | 20:59 |
| patdk-wk | but what exactly is a user systemd service? | 20:59 |
| SineDeviance | drab: i'm good with that option. so i need to write an init.d script and add it? | 20:59 |
| patdk-wk | as far as I knew, you just had services | 20:59 |
| mason | patdk-wk: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/User describes it | 21:00 |
| mason | per-user services | 21:00 |
| drab | mason: I don't know about that, but nothing stops you from setting user/group in the service file, which would accomplish what SineDeviance is asking for | 21:00 |
| mason | RHEL doesn't support it as yet due to problems I don't remember off the top of my head. No clue if Ubuntu does. | 21:00 |
| mason | Sure. | 21:01 |
| mason | I think the notion is that the systemd user stuff lets the user control the service post-boot. | 21:01 |
| SineDeviance | yeah, that'd be fine. i'd like it to be possible for other users with elevated privilege to stop/start the service | 21:01 |
| drab | I have a /lib/systemd/systemd --user running on my 16.04 desktop so maybe it does | 21:01 |
| drab | but have never really looked into it | 21:02 |
| SineDeviance | fwiw, the script i'm trying to automate is supybot | 21:02 |
| drab | oh wow, supybot, been a while since I heard that name | 21:02 |
| SineDeviance | i still think it's the best one | 21:03 |
| SineDeviance | sadly, it does not seem to come with an init.d script | 21:03 |
| SineDeviance | i know i had this setup and working a couple years ago. i just don't remember how i did it | 21:03 |

| drab | mmmh, lame question I guess but I suck at gpg... how am I supposed to find and get all the keys I need to validate a ppa[/3rd party repo]? | 22:49 |
| drab | for the main ubuntu mirror I just had to import /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg | 22:49 |
| drab | which was easy | 22:49 |
| drab | but for the ppa of say libreoffice, I'm not sure how to go about it | 22:50 |
| drab | basically whatever apt-add-repository does behind the scenes | 22:50 |
| drab | guess I could read its source code... | 22:50 |
| WACOMalt | OK got my server up | 22:52 |
| WACOMalt | But one issue... it seems the host's provisioning settings didnt apply the root password I set, and I didnt make a normal user | 22:52 |
| WACOMalt | wait nm... I'm just and idiot | 22:53 |
| WACOMalt | so question... does it matter if my server's hostname is hostname.domain.com or just hostname? | 22:53 |
| drab | WACOMalt: it depends what's asking, for most things it won't | 22:55 |
| drab | apache for example will complain about not being able to find a FQDN | 22:55 |
| drab | if you don't have it | 22:55 |
| tomreyn | gots in your hostname are probably not a good idea | 22:56 |
| tomreyn | *dots | 22:56 |
| tomreyn | unless you're speaking FQDN | 22:56 |
| WACOMalt | ok I'm trying to set up a normal user via ILO, but for some reason arrow keys dont work so I cant... how can I enable ssh access for the root user until I get a normal user made? | 22:58 |
| WACOMalt | currently SSH is saying access denied | 22:58 |
| drab | by default I think root login is permitted with no pwd | 22:59 |
| drab | but otherwise you need to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 22:59 |
| drab | PermitRootLogin prohibit-password <-- that's what you probably have | 23:00 |
| tomreyn | on HP ILO? | 23:01 |
| tomreyn | i would think it just allows you to login with the root password as the root user by default. | 23:02 |
| tomreyn | the device you're working with there, is that an HP ILO at all, and which version of it? and are oyu on the web interface? | 23:05 |
| WACOMalt | ok I got another user created with sudo access | 23:05 |
| WACOMalt | Next question... nano is not found and sudo apt-get install nano is Unable to locate package nano | 23:06 |
| WACOMalt | ugh disregard. stupid again, forgot apt-get update after a fresh install | 23:06 |
| WACOMalt | Does this etc/apt/sources.list look normal to you guys? https://hastebin.com/lugagucima.nginx | 23:09 |
| WACOMalt | fresh install | 23:09 |
| tomreyn | the mirror server is non standard | 23:13 |
| WACOMalt | anything to worry about? | 23:13 |
| WACOMalt | probably just my host using their own mirrors I guess | 23:13 |
| tomreyn | are you hosting with Yomura Corporation then? | 23:13 |
| WACOMalt | probably. I'm with delimiterVPS | 23:14 |
| WACOMalt | (though it's a dedicated server) | 23:14 |
| WACOMalt | yup that's their holding company | 23:14 |
| Latrina | noob question. If I get a powerful workstation with some serious Nvidia graphic card, supported from Ubuntu ofcourse, will I be able to take advantage of it with a Windows virtualbox VM? | 23:27 |
| Latrina | The idea I have is migrate Windows 10 pro on a VM and keep ubuntu as the Host, however I badly need access to photoshop | 23:27 |
| tomreyn | Latrina: what you are looking for is to have a dedicated graphics card for the VM | 23:38 |
| tomreyn | i.e. you'll need two. one of them would be handled by linux, the other by windows. it's called 'video (card) passthrough'. | 23:39 |
| tomreyn | graphics virtualization is a delicate topic, not easy to achieve, but bothm KVM and Xen are working on making this work nowadays. | 23:41 |
| tomreyn | this doesn't seem to be a server question, though | 23:42 |
| Latrina | thank you for the info and I apologize if my question went off topic | 23:45 |
| tomreyn | Latrina: also look for KVMGT and XenGT (implementations on these virtualizations) and VGPU (as a generic term) | 23:51 |
| Latrina | will do, thanks again :) | 23:52 |
| tomreyn | gpu virtualization is not actually off-topic for a server channel since this is currently the most relevant use case: calculations made on graphics cards from within VMs | 23:52 |
| Latrina | well thats the reason why I felt my question would be appropriate if brought up here | 23:53 |
| tomreyn | the less painful approach is to have 1 discrete graphics card per OS (so one for the host and one for each VM which needs graphics acceleration). but you can also share acceleration across systems (host, guests) in some configurations nowadays. | 23:53 |
| tomreyn | sorry then ;) | 23:53 |
| Latrina | my concept of server is storage / services / VMs / cloud | 23:53 |
| nacc | gpu virtualization is still really fragile, though | 23:53 |
| Latrina | no thank you for the valuable info | 23:53 |
| nacc | and honestly, the easier way to go is what tomreyn said, dedicate a card to it | 23:54 |
| nacc | even then, i'm not sure what kind of performance you get with windows in a VM, never tried it | 23:54 |
| tomreyn | if disk I/O is fine and there is plenty of unallocated space on the system drive, it should work ok | 23:55 |
| nacc | tomreyn: yeah, i'm not thinking there is anything technically that shoudl affect it .. other than windows itself :) | 23:55 |
| Latrina | need to try this out with some of the workstations we have at work | 23:56 |
| Latrina | I dont have top $$$ to invest in attempts | 23:56 |
| tomreyn | most of your time will be spent on researching a working hardware + software configuration. | 23:58 |
| tomreyn | (and yes, windows is terrible in how it abuses resources) | 23:59 |
