[00:45] <|easy|> thx for all i quit maybe cya later
[02:09] <greenbarca2001> hi all, I'm having trouble setting up the DNS settings for a subdomain
[02:09] <greenbarca2001> for some reason it isn't working and I've spent hours trying to fix it
[02:13] <tomreyn> greenbarca2001: how does this relate to ubuntu then?
[02:14] <greenbarca2001> oh I need to do it with bind9
[02:14] <greenbarca2001> is there a more suitable irc chat for this? I tried finding one but I couldn't
[02:17] <tomreyn> greenbarca2001: i guess here is fine if you have bind related questions. i'm not very much into it, though, maybe soemone else is.
[02:18] <tomreyn> i guess you'll want two zone files, one for the main domain name (second level domain) and another for the subdomain (third level domain), and have a NS record for the subdomain in the main domain's zone file.
[02:19] <tomreyn> this way you can have the subdomain delegated to a different authoritative nameserver, which is, from what i understan, your goal.
[02:19] <tomreyn> there may also be a bind(9= channel, i haven't checked.
[02:19] <tomreyn> !alis
[02:20] <tomreyn> there is also ##networking, but they may be bored by such questions ;-)
[02:21] <greenbarca2001> thank you! i don't want different name servers, I want both the domain and subdomain to have the same nameservers
[02:21] <greenbarca2001> I just want them to be different domains, this is possible right?
[02:23] <tomreyn> two domains are not the same by definition. i guess i don't understand.
[02:24] <tomreyn> A is not B. Also B.A is not A.
[02:24] <greenbarca2001> I want a domain example.org, and a subdomain conference.example.org, but I want them to use the same nameservers
[02:24] <greenbarca2001> namely, ns1.example.org and ns2.example.org
[02:24] <greenbarca2001> this should be possible, right?
[02:25] <tomreyn> sure. and this nameserver is run by you?
[02:25] <tomreyn> *these nameservers are
[02:26] <greenbarca2001> yep, I configured them in namecheap
[02:26] <greenbarca2001> if that's what you're asking
[02:27] <tomreyn> maybe, depends on how you configured them. i'm asking whether ns1.example.org and ns2.example.org point to servers you manage.
[02:28] <tomreyn> i assume one of them is the one you are trying to configure bind on
[02:28] <greenbarca2001> oh yes they do
[02:28] <greenbarca2001> they both point to my server IP address
[02:28] <greenbarca2001> I only have one server
[02:28] <greenbarca2001> 2 nameservers
[02:29] <tomreyn> well that's not how do you dns. with just one server you can point the second to some free backup dns.
[02:30] <tomreyn> search the web for "free secondary dns" OR "free backup dns"
[02:30] <tomreyn> maybe namecheap also provides one.
[02:33] <greenbarca2001> I mean the main domain works
[02:34] <greenbarca2001> I don't quite understand what you mean, the ns2 name server is the backup
[02:34] <greenbarca2001> I looked up what you said it seems as though I'm already using Namecheap’s Secondary DNS?
[02:35] <tomreyn> how would i know?
[11:52] <hellerz> Hello guys, I have installed XRDP on my ubuntu 16.04 LTS. 18 days and today I'm trying to connect to my server through remote desktop but It won't let me
[11:52] <hellerz> Is there a way to fix this without reboot?
[12:45] <sine`> I have just installed ubuntu server and install the unity desktop. how can I access a desktop remotely
[12:51] <xibalba> I could use some assistance with some basic IPTables (not my forte). I have setup a SSH VPN from my network to a remote cloud system. I want to use my local system as a gateway and forward all traffic incoming on ens160 to tun0. I can ping from tun0 on my local system to tun0 on the remote system, so no issue there. When I put in my IPTables commands to Forward incoming traffic from ens160 to tun0, I never see it make it into the
[12:51] <xibalba>  tun0 interface on the local system (checked with tshark/tcpdump)
[12:51] <xibalba> i used the following commands, /sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o tun0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
[12:52] <xibalba> opps i meant ens160 not eth0
[13:05] <xibalba> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FX7wXgSHNv/
[13:17] <qman__> ok, a couple things - did you turn on IP forwarding, and did you set up the routes?
[14:36] <jimmy06> Im trying to install Server 18.04 but the network config times out anyone got any ideas about this?
[14:37] <jimmy06> https://i.imgur.com/jBJVPgb.png
[14:38] <jimmy06> https://i.imgur.com/VkMwffJ.png
[14:38] <compdoc> thats odd looking. text based browser?
[14:39] <blackflow> jimmy06: Hetzner?
[14:39] <compdoc> you setup netplan?
[14:39] <jimmy06> hetzner yes
[14:39] <blackflow> jimmy06: wrong gateway
[14:39] <jimmy06> this setup worked on 16.x just now
[14:39] <jimmy06> gateway is correct
[14:39] <jimmy06> its a hetzner thing
[14:40] <blackflow> I know, but did it end up in .1 or .2 ?
[14:40] <blackflow> iirc was .1
[14:40] <jimmy06> I dont understand the question sorry
[14:40] <jimmy06> .1 or .2 ?
[14:40] <blackflow> and you really don't need to obfuscate it, it's a RFC 1918 subnet, private and non-routable
[14:41] <jimmy06> you sure about that?
[14:41] <jimmy06> its my main servers ip addres
[14:41] <jimmy06> the gateway
[14:41] <jimmy06> then other server is a vm
[14:42] <jimmy06> the screen shots are from a proxmox vm
[14:42] <blackflow> jimmy06: yes, the gateway. isn't it 176.16.1.1  ?
[14:42] <blackflow> ah... 172.16....
[14:42] <jimmy06> the gateway ip is the server ip
[14:43] <jimmy06> 176.x.x.xx2
[14:43] <jimmy06> 176.9.3.xx2
[14:43] <blackflow> jimmy06: nevermind, I misread that gateway as Hetzner's CX gateways that are in the RF1918 range
[14:43] <jimmy06> fair enough :)
[14:43] <jimmy06> normally i have to install 16.x without an adaptor config
[14:43] <blackflow> 172.16..... 176....   all them numbers buzzing around
[14:44] <jimmy06> then config it after but I cant skip it at all here
[14:49] <jimmy06> compdoc: what do you mean by thats an odd looking text based browser?
[14:50] <compdoc> I asked if it was. never saw that before
[14:50] <jimmy06> no its the installer for 18.04 server
[14:51] <compdoc> ah. I havent used that yet
[14:54] <jimmy06> I cant even press the F keys to move to another console :( lol
[14:54] <jimmy06> Oh wait I might be able to switch the network device and get it installed with a private NAT interface then change it afterwards
[14:56] <RoyK> jimmy06: ctrl+alt+f1
[14:56] <RoyK> the new installer really sucks
[14:57] <RoyK> better use the old one
[14:58] <jimmy06> I cant use F keys RoyK as its a VM console in a browser
[14:58] <jimmy06> my other approach worked
[14:58] <jimmy06> its installing now
[14:58] <jimmy06> in fact its done :D
[15:31] <jimmy06> ah balls it seems it still wont accept the default gateway
[15:39] <jimmy06> got it used on-link
[18:02] <mwhudson> tomreyn: oh man, i just need to make subiquity/curtin understand "use all the remaining space for this partition"
[18:05] <tomreyn> mwhudson: yes, looks like it doesn't understand this., although it shows correct (or correctly seeming) sizes on the GUI
[18:05] <mwhudson> yeah, the calculations are almost right
[18:05] <mwhudson> just not down to the last k or whatever
[18:06] <tomreyn> it could always ask the tools what's actually available
[18:07] <mwhudson> no, because at the time you are editing things in the ui no actual changes are being made to the disks
[18:07]  * mwhudson --> food
[18:08] <tomreyn> hmm you're right, of course, it doesn't create the PV at this point, just partitions are written.
