=== ropetin_ is now known as ropetin [02:05] hey [02:06] having some non-critical server issues [02:07] and was wondering if anyone was around to discuss how I can sort them? [02:07] hibby: Best ask specific questions and see if anyone can answer. [02:09] 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] 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] I can access the files perfectly through xmbc - im watching heroes that way just now [02:10] hey people. I am running tripwire on hardy-server in a xen virtual machine. [02:10] but my desktop system won't recognise the links as folders [02:10] I have my tripwire policy running fine [02:11] tripwire only complains that /proc/12007/fd/4 and /proc/12007/tasks/fd/4 don't exist [02:11] what are they? Something to do with a floppydisk? [02:11] I've tried sharing the external drive too, but that's not working. Any suggestions? [02:11] which indeed my virtual machine doesn't gave [02:12] how do I prevent tripwire from checking it? I can't find any references in twpol.txt [04:42] 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?

[14:52] Hi [14:52] What do you guys recommend as cPanel alternative? Webmin? [14:52] RainCT: I recommend vim, but ebox is the one generally recommended. [14:54] 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] I've never used it, but ebox is the one you want. [15:01] andol: when else do I need to reboot? [15:02] andol: i saw libssl upgrade on my laptop asked to restart it [15:02] That's one of the few. If you subscribe to the security announcements they say in them if a reboot is needed. [15:02] andol: is there some similar notification thru email or in the terminal ? [15:03] There is a terminalish place to look, but I don't recall it. I mostly just read the security announements. [15:04] ScottK: i use apticron to receive alerts when upgrade is necessary .. but a immediate terminal level notification would really help [15:06] http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2008/11/ubuntu-jaunty-updates-available-and.html for Jaunty. [15:08] ScottK: awesome!!! [15:31] axisys: sorry, wasn't really paying attention to the channel. Seems like you still got your answers throught :) [15:32] andol: OMG. you're /ignoring/ us! [15:33] Nafallo: Yes, shocking, isn't it? :) [15:33] andol: indeed it is [15:37] hrmf. virtualbox/ubuntu 8.04 is panicing on shutdown [15:55] 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] should i use xinetd or something else, that's ubuntu specific? [16:14] How can you reliably swap sata drives if the scsi numbers change on them after reboots? [16:15] heath|work: iirc ubuntu uses UUIDs in /etc/fstab, so it shouldn't matter much [16:16] RoyK, the problem isn't with mounts. The problem is actually trying to write a backup script for removable drives using scsiadd [16:16] ah [16:16] but why should the scsi id/device name change? [16:16] for example If I need to remove a drive I have to issue scsiadd -r 2 0 0 0 [16:16] RoyK, that's what I am trying to figure out. [16:17] 15 [16:17] sorry - can't help, then [16:17] no idea where that '15' came from [16:17] lol... it's cool [16:17] I thought you 15 years old telling me about UUID's [16:17] lol [16:18] I was about to say you need to watch more tv or something [16:18] hehehehehe [16:18] I guess there are 15-year-olds out there that know about UUIDs these days [16:19] scary [16:19] :) [16:19] I guess I was 16 or so when I wrote my first boot loader in assembly [16:22] I didn't really catch an interest in computers till about 18 [16:23] then I was stupid and used winblows for a while till I saw the light [16:23] hehe [16:53] 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] 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] heath|work: it's written to the md sectors and automatically detected upon boot [16:58] nice... thanks === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 [17:02] heath|work: still, the md code is somehow outdated unless you need RAID > 1 [17:03] if you just want mirroring, the LVM code is far more flexible [17:03] what would you suggest? I need raid one here, but raid 10 at home [17:04] I'd suggest using lvm for mirroring [17:04] lvm can do striping as well, so I guess 1+0 should work well [17:04] * RoyK checks [17:06] seems if you need raid-1+0, the best would be to setup mdadm mirrors and then span them with lvm [17:11] really, I need to use both? [17:11] I have raid10 up and running with just mdadm at home right now [17:47] 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] 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] (I got ldapwhoami working by setting TLS_CACERT in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf, but phpldapadmin is not picking this up :( [18:04] bah, gnutls is winning... at losing from openssl o_O [18:06] can anyone help me with setting up a lvm mirrored disk? [19:58] hello [19:59] 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] toehio: most applications will use system user's by default, so adduser and useradd are good utilities for that [20:07] ok [20:07] but how about the files for all the servers such as the web server and game server? [20:10] toehio: not sure what you mean? [20:10] I am running a game server (wolfenstein enemy territory) [20:11] and it has lots of files [20:11] where should it be installed? [20:11] toehio: I usually install third party stuff like that into /opt [20:11] toehio: so /opt/wolf or something similar is what I'd do [20:12] ok, thank you for you help [20:12] toehio: then you can symlink any binaries into /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin [20:12] toehio: np [20:12] wait [20:12] the default installation dir for this game is "/usr/local/games/enemy-territory" [20:12] would that be a good place? [20:13] toehio: sure, really the best thing with third party apps is to place them somewhere you'll remember [20:14] how about starting it? [20:14] toehio: I like /opt/ because the path is shorter than /usr/local, but it's really just a preference [20:14] what user should i use? [20:14] because its not a daemon with its own user [20:14] toehio: should work with any user with rights to /usr/local/games/enemy-territory [20:15] ok [20:15] thank you [20:15] welcome [20:26] Hi, where can I find a good ressource that will help me pick a server motherboard? Most sites seems to be focused on gaming boards, but thats not what I need. [20:27] I'm looking for something to run a intel core 2 quad, to host a few virtual machines using kvm. [20:46] hello everyone, i got openvpn on my server, it connects to the outside world, but i cannot get any of the computers on my inside network to connect through it, any ideas? [21:16] The OpenSSH version from Intrepid seems to work fine on Hardy lowering two dependencies. Should I request a bacport or does anyone know of a problem with this? [21:19] RainCT: what [21:19] i was formating a drive over ssh and i wanted to printscreen the info from the mkfs.ext3 but pressed pause/break instead. Issuing the mkfs command again i get "/dev/sda1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make filesystem here!" how do i resolve this?

[22:34] jpds: for chroot [22:35] bug #286337 - there you have the reasons explained [22:35] Launchpad bug 286337 in hardy-backports "Please backport OpenSSH 5.1 to Hardy" [Wishlist,Won't fix] https://launchpad.net/bugs/286337 [22:35] else I'll just maintain a backport in my PPA, but -backports would be better [22:38] RainCT: Looks like N.Commander's already commented.. [22:38] that's why I just pinged him [22:38] I've found this just right now [22:39] RainCT, pong [22:39] NCommander: no chance to get openssh backported? [22:39] I'm *extremely hestant* to do it [22:40] Reason being? That it'll still need to be maintained after Intrepid reaches EOL? [22:43] NCommander: ^ [22:54] Hello folks. Just installed Ubuntu server including the LAMP option but can't get Apache2 to parse PHP files. They run from the command line, however. Any ideas? [22:56] jam59: any error message? [22:56] and, just to be sure, you have libapache2-mod-php5 installed? [22:57] jam59: Worked out of the box for me w/ 8.04 and 8.10 [22:57] RainCT: The browser tries to download the file with the message: "You have chosen to open [blank] which is a application/x-trash" [22:58] I've run the suggested tests to see if PHP module is installed and it is. [22:59] jam59: you restarted apache [22:59] Faust-C: I did. [23:02] Any ideas? [23:08] RainCT, I'm VERY VERY VERY scared of doing a openssh backport; if it breaks, we're in the **** [23:09] jam59: how are you trying to access the file? [23:09] NCommander: + about a billion. [23:09] NCommander: BTW, did you see what happened with the unbound backport? [23:09] ohh, it contains ssh-keygen, nice package :P [23:10] RainCT: I'm trying to access it via http and the command line. [23:10] ScottK, no, obviously something broke if your telling me [23:10] jam59: yeah, but which URL? [23:10] Oh [23:10] FTBFS [23:10] RainCT: The default: jamarks.com [23:10] NCommander: it's OK, I'll go the PPA way then [23:10] NCommander: Yeah. Fix committed already. [23:10] SchneeSchwarz, sorry about that [23:10] ... [23:10] damn autocomplete [23:11] RainCT: Right now, index.php is in the default directory for jamarks.com [23:11] jam59: oh, dedicated server? :). did you modify some config file, and if so can you paste it somewhere? [23:12] jam59: http://jamarks.com/index.php - works [23:12] 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] jam59: I see a index.php which is working, and the "save.." dialog being showed by index.html [23:16] RainCT: Ok, damn. It's working now. :) [23:16] RainCT: Why do configurations fail UNTIL you ask someone? :) [23:16] hehe [23:17] jam59: oh, that's the magic of computing.. [23:17] RainCT: Thanks for, you know, whatever you did or didn't do, or for allowing me to look foolish. :) [23:17] LOL. Always a pleasure ;P [23:19] 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] 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] jam59: no, index.html and some other files come before it (perhaps also some default., not sure if those come before or after index.php) [23:21] jam59: is index.php the only file you have in there? [23:22] RainCT: I just changed index.php to test.php and reinstated index.html [23:22] RainCT: So now, there are those two files: test.php and index.html [23:23] RainCT: And it's not seeing the index.html by default file when you go to jamarks.com [23:24] RainCT: Except it is in another browser (Safari)... Maybe my Firefox browser is hosed... [23:25] jam59: try removing/renaming index.html [23:25] wait, if you renamed index.php nvm [23:25] 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] RainCT: So, again, I look foolish! :) [23:26] w3m works too [23:26] jam59: not you, Firefox looks foolish ^^ [23:26] RainCT: Thank you. You are too kind. [23:27] Hello. Can anyone help me get loggerhead to work on apache? I have it running on the localhost:80, but cant get it to work when someone types in : http://bzr.website.com [23:29] jam59: the files are on /var/www? [23:32] RainCT: Yes, they are at the moment. I'll be setting virtual-name hosts next. [23:50] no one can help? [23:54] Pete_: Maybe on #bzr? [23:55] Scottk: Thanks
