| [02:05] <hibby> hey | |
| [02:06] <hibby> having some non-critical server issues | |
| [02:07] <hibby> and was wondering if anyone was around to discuss how I can sort them? | |
| [02:07] <ScottK> hibby: Best ask specific questions and see if anyone can answer. | |
| [02:09] <hibby> right, well. I've got a system running as a server for providing my flat with files /audio/video. More or less working as a NAS, but I like to use it as a development webserver too, and ssh in from around the world regularly | |
| [02:10] <hibby> we ran out of internal drive space, so bought an external drive. I want to be able to access files on it, but in the existing folders, so I've ln -s to the various folders I want on the external drive into the shared folders | |
| [02:10] <hibby> I can access the files perfectly through xmbc - im watching heroes that way just now | |
| [02:10] <SmokeyD1> hey people. I am running tripwire on hardy-server in a xen virtual machine. | |
| [02:10] <hibby> but my desktop system won't recognise the links as folders | |
| [02:10] <SmokeyD1> I have my tripwire policy running fine | |
| [02:11] <SmokeyD1> tripwire only complains that /proc/12007/fd/4 and /proc/12007/tasks/fd/4 don't exist | |
| [02:11] <SmokeyD1> what are they? Something to do with a floppydisk? | |
| [02:11] <hibby> I've tried sharing the external drive too, but that's not working. Any suggestions? | |
| [02:11] <SmokeyD1> which indeed my virtual machine doesn't gave | |
| [02:12] <SmokeyD1> how do I prevent tripwire from checking it? I can't find any references in twpol.txt | |
| [04:42] <CppIsWeird> my server has ubuntu server 7.10, all of the sudden recently when i boot it up it does not get an IP from my router, i have to plug in peripherals and ifconfig up down the adapter. Any ideas why? | |

| [14:29] <axisys> how would I know if I need to reboot the server after dong the aptitude full-upgrade | |
| [14:32] <andol> axisys: If there is a new kernel you'll need to reboot. | |
| [14:52] <RainCT> Hi | |
| [14:52] <RainCT> What do you guys recommend as cPanel alternative? Webmin? | |
| [14:52] <ScottK> RainCT: I recommend vim, but ebox is the one generally recommended. | |
| [14:54] <RainCT> ScottK: Thanks. Me too (well, not vim, but the command line :)), but I also want to install some more graphical thing.. (Working on a research project for school) | |
| [14:55] <ScottK> I've never used it, but ebox is the one you want. | |
| [15:01] <axisys> andol: when else do I need to reboot? | |
| [15:02] <axisys> andol: i saw libssl upgrade on my laptop asked to restart it | |
| [15:02] <ScottK> That's one of the few. If you subscribe to the security announcements they say in them if a reboot is needed. | |
| [15:02] <axisys> andol: is there some similar notification thru email or in the terminal ? | |
| [15:03] <ScottK> There is a terminalish place to look, but I don't recall it. I mostly just read the security announements. | |
| [15:04] <axisys> ScottK: i use apticron to receive alerts when upgrade is necessary .. but a immediate terminal level notification would really help | |

| [15:37] <RoyK> hrmf. virtualbox/ubuntu 8.04 is panicing on shutdown | |
| [15:55] <MadChopr> i'm planning on installing amanda-server on ubuntu server 8.10, amanda-server wants xinetd, i'm wondering does ubuntu have a replacement for xinetd? from what i understand xinetd is used for centos/redhat installs? | |
| [15:56] <MadChopr> should i use xinetd or something else, that's ubuntu specific? | |
| [16:14] <heath|work> How can you reliably swap sata drives if the scsi numbers change on them after reboots? | |
| [16:15] <RoyK> heath|work: iirc ubuntu uses UUIDs in /etc/fstab, so it shouldn't matter much | |
| [16:16] <heath|work> RoyK, the problem isn't with mounts. The problem is actually trying to write a backup script for removable drives using scsiadd | |
| [16:16] <RoyK> ah | |
| [16:16] <RoyK> but why should the scsi id/device name change? | |
| [16:16] <heath|work> for example If I need to remove a drive I have to issue scsiadd -r 2 0 0 0 | |
| [16:16] <heath|work> RoyK, that's what I am trying to figure out. | |
| [16:17] <RoyK> 15 | |
| [16:17] <RoyK> sorry - can't help, then | |
| [16:17] <RoyK> no idea where that '15' came from | |
| [16:17] <heath|work> lol... it's cool | |
| [16:17] <heath|work> I thought you 15 years old telling me about UUID's | |
| [16:17] <RoyK> lol | |
| [16:18] <heath|work> I was about to say you need to watch more tv or something | |
| [16:18] <RoyK> hehehehehe | |
| [16:18] <RoyK> I guess there are 15-year-olds out there that know about UUIDs these days | |
| [16:19] <heath|work> scary | |
| [16:19] <RoyK> :) | |
| [16:19] <RoyK> I guess I was 16 or so when I wrote my first boot loader in assembly | |
| [16:22] <heath|work> I didn't really catch an interest in computers till about 18 | |
| [16:23] <heath|work> then I was stupid and used winblows for a while till I saw the light | |
| [16:23] <RoyK> hehe | |
| [16:53] <heath|work> When you setup RAID with mdadm, do you need to manually enter info into the mdadm.conf file, or is everything fine after creating an md dev? | |
| [16:56] <uvirtbot`> New bug: #314916 in openldap (main) "package update-manager 1:0.93.34 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: SystemError in cache.commit(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) (dup-of: 314917)" [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/314916 | |
| [16:56] <RoyK> heath|work: it's written to the md sectors and automatically detected upon boot | |
| [16:58] <heath|work> nice... thanks | |
| === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 | |
| [17:02] <RoyK> heath|work: still, the md code is somehow outdated unless you need RAID > 1 | |
| [17:03] <RoyK> if you just want mirroring, the LVM code is far more flexible | |
| [17:03] <heath|work> what would you suggest? I need raid one here, but raid 10 at home | |
| [17:04] <RoyK> I'd suggest using lvm for mirroring | |
| [17:04] <RoyK> lvm can do striping as well, so I guess 1+0 should work well | |
| [17:04] * RoyK checks | |
| [17:06] <RoyK> seems if you need raid-1+0, the best would be to setup mdadm mirrors and then span them with lvm | |
| [17:11] <heath|work> really, I need to use both? | |
| [17:11] <heath|work> I have raid10 up and running with just mdadm at home right now | |
| [17:47] <stephank> Hi! I'm trying to set up slapd with tls. So far so good it seems, it finds the certificate and key, a remote host can connect using ldapwhoami. My problem is that phpldapadmin doesn't connect, saying "Could not start TLS." | |
| [17:48] <stephank> It looks like I've ended up in a fight with gnutls. It's not picking up my ca cert in /etc/ssl/certs! Does gnutls have a different default location somewhere? | |
| [17:49] <stephank> (I got ldapwhoami working by setting TLS_CACERT in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf, but phpldapadmin is not picking this up :( | |
| [18:04] <stephank> bah, gnutls is winning... at losing from openssl o_O | |
| [18:06] <pioni> can anyone help me with setting up a lvm mirrored disk? | |
| [19:58] <toehio> hello | |
| [19:59] <toehio> can somebody please explain to me how you should set-up users on a server that has multiple services (games, ftp, web, irc, etc) | |
| [20:06] <sommer> toehio: most applications will use system user's by default, so adduser and useradd are good utilities for that | |
| [20:07] <toehio> ok | |
| [20:07] <toehio> but how about the files for all the servers such as the web server and game server? | |
| [20:10] <sommer> toehio: not sure what you mean? | |
| [20:10] <toehio> I am running a game server (wolfenstein enemy territory) | |
| [20:11] <toehio> and it has lots of files | |
| [20:11] <toehio> where should it be installed? | |
| [20:11] <sommer> toehio: I usually install third party stuff like that into /opt | |
| [20:11] <sommer> toehio: so /opt/wolf or something similar is what I'd do | |
| [20:12] <toehio> ok, thank you for you help | |
| [20:12] <sommer> toehio: then you can symlink any binaries into /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin | |
| [20:12] <sommer> toehio: np | |
| [20:12] <toehio> wait | |
| [20:12] <toehio> the default installation dir for this game is "/usr/local/games/enemy-territory" | |
| [20:12] <toehio> would that be a good place? | |
| [20:13] <sommer> toehio: sure, really the best thing with third party apps is to place them somewhere you'll remember | |
| [20:14] <toehio> how about starting it? | |
| [20:14] <sommer> toehio: I like /opt/ because the path is shorter than /usr/local, but it's really just a preference | |
| [20:14] <toehio> what user should i use? | |
| [20:14] <toehio> because its not a daemon with its own user | |
| [20:14] <sommer> toehio: should work with any user with rights to /usr/local/games/enemy-territory | |
| [20:15] <toehio> ok | |
| [20:15] <toehio> thank you | |
| [20:15] <sommer> welcome | |

| [22:58] <jam59> I've run the suggested tests to see if PHP module is installed and it is. | |
| [22:59] <Faust-C> jam59: you restarted apache | |
| [22:59] <jam59> Faust-C: I did. | |
| [23:02] <jam59> Any ideas? | |
| [23:08] <NCommander> RainCT, I'm VERY VERY VERY scared of doing a openssh backport; if it breaks, we're in the **** | |

| [23:11] <RainCT> jam59: oh, dedicated server? :). did you modify some config file, and if so can you paste it somewhere? | |
| [23:12] <RainCT> jam59: http://jamarks.com/index.php - works | |
| [23:12] <jam59> RainCT: No, I didn't modify any config files. I just installed Ubuntu - including the LAMP option - and started using the server. index.html works fine when it's enabled. index.php doesn't. | |
| [23:13] <RainCT> jam59: I see a index.php which is working, and the "save.." dialog being showed by index.html | |
| [23:16] <jam59> RainCT: Ok, damn. It's working now. :) | |
| [23:16] <jam59> RainCT: Why do configurations fail UNTIL you ask someone? :) | |
| [23:16] <RainCT> hehe | |
| [23:17] <RainCT> jam59: oh, that's the magic of computing.. | |
| [23:17] <jam59> RainCT: Thanks for, you know, whatever you did or didn't do, or for allowing me to look foolish. :) | |
| [23:17] <RainCT> LOL. Always a pleasure ;P | |
| [23:19] <jam59> RainCT: This is weird, though (and maybe why I thought it wasn't working): jamarks.com/index.php works but jamarks.com (without expressly requesting index.php) doesn't. | |
| [23:19] <jam59> RainCT: index.php should be served if no specific page is requested, shouldn't it? Maybe I need to look at the config file. Isn't that always the default? | |
| [23:20] <RainCT> jam59: no, index.html and some other files come before it (perhaps also some default.<something>, not sure if those come before or after index.php) | |
| [23:21] <RainCT> jam59: is index.php the only file you have in there? | |
| [23:22] <jam59> RainCT: I just changed index.php to test.php and reinstated index.html | |
| [23:22] <jam59> RainCT: So now, there are those two files: test.php and index.html | |
| [23:23] <jam59> RainCT: And it's not seeing the index.html by default file when you go to jamarks.com | |
| [23:24] <jam59> RainCT: Except it is in another browser (Safari)... Maybe my Firefox browser is hosed... | |
| [23:25] <RainCT> jam59: try removing/renaming index.html | |
| [23:25] <RainCT> wait, if you renamed index.php nvm | |
| [23:25] <jam59> RainCT: Yeah, it's gotta be the browser. Several other browsers are pulling up the index.html file by default without any problem... | |
| [23:25] <jam59> RainCT: So, again, I look foolish! :) | |
| [23:26] <RainCT> w3m works too | |
| [23:26] <RainCT> jam59: not you, Firefox looks foolish ^^ | |
