[01:13] ScottK: around? [02:21] Is there a gui that allows for easy management of ip aliases? [02:22] like how? [02:22] ie what do you want to manage [02:40] you mean managing ifcfg-eth0:X based interfaces, say for ip based web servers under apache [02:49] right [02:51] faulkes-: ^^ [03:18] hi, I'm trying to get a root login on ubuntu server, but it's giving me hell. [03:18] I can't sudo anything and I can't modify the etc/sudoers file [03:18] lightbook, root has no password by default on ubuntu [03:19] lightbook, and the user you create during install is in the admin group, which gives that user full sudo privileges [03:19] qman: it's giving me the "not an authorized user" bull. [03:20] did you create the user after installing, or is it the user that was created during install? [03:20] during the install. [03:20] ok [03:20] if you reboot the system, press escape to enter the Grub menu during boot, and boot with the (recovery mode) line [03:20] it will drop you to a root prompt in single user mode [03:20] alright. [03:21] sweet, thanks [03:21] from there, you should check if your user is in the admin group [03:21] and if the admin group is in the sudoers file [03:29] somerville32: afaik there is no current gui for such management === lamont` is now known as lamont [04:48] Hello. A friend of mine would like to have a sub-directory type site on my server, and I am wondering, what is the best way to do this? [05:32] <__bb> someone can help me make a router using firehol? [05:37] <__bb> someone can help me make a router using firehol? [07:13] Hi all, fsck is failing when checking my ext3 raid1 partition on boot. It says that the fs is either mounted or opened exclusively by another program. It is trying to check /dev/mapper/sda7 and not /dev/md4. Any ideas what could be causing this? [07:19] <_ruben> CrummyGummy: a faulty setup of /etc/fstab .. it probably lists sda7 instead of md4 .. or your bootloader has been told to use sda7 as root instead of md4 [07:20] U'm using UUID to mount the fs, Lemme just double check its right. [07:21] /U'm/I'm/ [07:22] and its not mu root partition its /var [07:22] /mu/my/ [07:24] _ruben: Nope, its definitly pointing to /dev/md4. [07:24] well the UUID of anyway. [07:25] <_ruben> hmm .. cant say i have much experience with using uuids so dunno if there could be going something wrong there [07:26] <_ruben> afaik, fstab is the one and only place to define which disks get fsck'ed [07:29] I found a pointer towards blkid on the net. Still looking. [07:37] Well thats what you get for not reading up before doing, I ran blkid>/etc/blkid.tab and rebooted. Now its stuck. [07:37] * CrummyGummy is holding thumbs it'll unstick... [07:38] woops, now /dev/md1 doesn't exist. eish,,, [08:04] moin [08:06] hi [08:12] Anybody got any idea what I missed? This is very obsure. [08:15] * CrummyGummy is going to change /dev/md1 to the UUID ( in grub) and see if it fixes it. [08:18] Do you use evms? [08:21] No, raid1 [08:22] plain mdadm [08:25] soren: Do you think I need to refresh my initrd? [08:25] Do you have evms installed? [08:25] No, I removed it. [08:25] Recently? [08:26] before refreshing the blkid.tab [08:26] So, yes. [08:26] Did you try rebooting just after removing evms and doing nothing else? [08:27] well I removed evms refreshed the blkid.tab and rebooted. Now I am stuck. [08:28] CrummyGummy: I don't think I've ever had a blkid.tab, and I'm happy.. :) [08:28] Well I didn't plan it.,,, Maybe removing it will work. [08:29] That was what I was trying to say :) [08:29] lemme look [08:30] * CrummyGummy is holding thumbs [08:42] bbl [09:11] soren: Thanks, I was looking in the wrong direction. I had messed up my mdadm.conf. After re-generating my initrd file it worked. [09:11] \o/ [09:33] hi [09:33] soren: you there? ::) [09:34] I am. [09:34] I live here. [09:34] <_ruben> hehe [09:34] hehe [09:34] i need some help or ideas about nss and ldap [09:35] i use this script to install a samba pdc with nss and ldap : majen.net/smbldap/ [09:35] my problem is that my virtual machines of my vmware server then dont start properly anymore [09:35] if i comment out "ldap" in nsswitch.conf it works fine. [09:35] Er.. Ok. [09:36] in the syslog i get something like: slapd: bdb_equality_candidates: (uniqueMember) index_param failed (18) [09:36] but i dont know if this is a serious error or just a message [09:36] Have you checked the vmware forums? [09:36] on my way :) [09:38] spiekey: Is there a vmware system user? [09:38] Are you running vmware server on an amd64 machine, perhaps? [09:39] no, its a normal 386 box [09:40] id: vmware: No such user [09:40] <_ruben> soren: not sure if you're the one to ask, but any pointers what would be the 'best' virtualization method to run windows guests on an ubuntu host (the host being amd64) [09:41] _ruben: I'd guess kvm, but I haven't done much testing of windows inside of it. It should work, thouhg. [09:41] soren: the thing is that can click on "play" in my vmware server and nothing happens for about 2minutes. Then i get an gui error saying it could not start the machine. If i click play again it works. [09:41] it always works after the 2nd time. [09:41] quite weird, isnt it? [09:41] Sort of. [09:42] vmware has an annoying tendency to ship various libraries with their stuff. [09:42] try "locate libnss_ldap.so" [09:43] <_ruben> soren: i'll look into kvm when i have some time, tho hardy's version is quite superior to the gutsy one right? [09:44] _ruben: *very* much so. [09:45] . /lib/libnss_ldap.so.2 -> libnss_ldap-2.3.6.so [09:45] . /usr/lib/libnss_ldap.so -> /lib/libnss_ldap.so.2 [09:45] i am using ubuntu 6.06 by the way [09:46] <_ruben> soren: by the time i get a chance to play with it, hardy might be aproaching its final state anyways, so might not be such a big problem ;) [09:46] <_ruben> we're currently using vmware 1.0.4 on suse boxes, which seems to do the trick fairly well, tho performance isnt all that great [09:51] spiekey: Well, my best guess is that vmware is using a different set of libnss libraries and borks because it can't look up users in ldap (probably because it's looking for a configuration file in the wrong place). [09:52] spiekey: It's quite hard for me to tell whether that's anywhere near the truth or not, though. [09:52] soren: i would have expected vmware to not work at all, but not the bahaviour like this :) [09:52] i might try to strace the problem then [11:31] * soren goes to lunch === ICU is now known as IOU === IOU is now known as icu [11:49] * _ruben just got back from "lunch" [11:50] <_ruben> i eat during work, and lunchbreak is used to play tablesoccer in the basement [11:57] i play pocket snooker all day long ;) [12:27] Greetings === jjesse_ is now known as jjesse === \sh_away is now known as \sh === pteague_work is now known as pteague_other [14:46] soren: morning, I've started a cli qemu install using virt-install and I can see a qemu process in ps -ef output [14:46] sommer: Ok. [14:46] soren: but I can't connect to the console using virsh -c qemu:///system console [14:46] am I missing something [14:46] ? [14:46] Do you have virt-viewer installed? [14:46] the message says no console for domain [14:47] yep [14:47] Use that instead. [14:47] ah [14:47] virt-viewer -c qemu:///system name-of-domain [14:48] getting a new error: (virt-viewer:8180): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [14:48] I'm trying through ssh at the moment [14:49] the virsh list command works fine :-) [14:49] Ah, have you set up X forwarding? [14:50] not that I know of [14:50] will do, though [14:52] so does qemu requre X? [14:53] and vnc? [14:53] x is being forwarded, but now the virt-viewer is wanting vnc [14:53] I did use the --nographics option, so that's probably expected [14:54] Well, you're supposed to run virt-viewer from your *local* machine. [14:54] However, that's blocking on netcat-openbsd landing in the archive. It will be a few days. [14:54] soren: gotcha, I'll try again this evening [14:54] "a few days" :) [14:55] er... that too [14:56] thanks for the info, I wasn't finding much on qemu + virsh + console === jdstrand is now known as jdstrand_ === jdstrand_ is now known as jdstrand [18:26] hm, cron-apt is cool. [18:35] lamont: any toughts on postfix+dovecot? [18:46] I think they should be combined into a super server named postcot... but who knows where thoughts come from [18:52] :) [18:52] hehe [18:53] why not fixdove? [18:53] trademark/copyright issues with dove soap [18:53] I think you have to stay with the "post" roots [19:39] did anyone know something about Ubuntu Home Server? === ember_ is now known as ember [19:58] hello [19:58] I installed ubuntu server version and chose LAMP setup, but it seems like LAMP wasnt installed [19:58] is this normal? [19:59] why seems like lamp wasn't installed ? [20:00] because there is no sign of apache, mysql, php or python [20:00] i had to apt-get them [20:00] im just wondering [20:00] if i did something wrong [20:03] also can you help me disable system beeper for ubuntu server, i still need the beeper connected for a program, i just dont want any system beeps... [20:05] oh nm, figured out the beeper.. Still LAMP issue, is it normal? [20:09] hrm... ivoks got a way === \sh is now known as \sh_away [21:09] <_Drax> Ive just recently joined the ubuntu community by installing the server edition on my standalone computer, first reason I did was I needed a webserver and the LAMP solution was perfect. Im now interested in suggestions on what more I can use it for. I will join the NTP pool project and if you know more things like those please let me know. [21:28] is it possible to make a ftp group? so that adding a user to the group gives them access? [21:46] what is the command to get the menu to come up about installing different servers? [21:46] LAMP, DNS, etc. [21:47] Ahmuck: tasksel [21:48] thx [21:50] aptitude? ;-) === ember_ is now known as ember [22:23] greetings [22:55] Greetings all. Booting off the Gutsy Server CD, how do I setup a RAID 1 for a new server? Is there a magic boot option to make that happen or am I expected to do this manually? [23:32] owh: manually [23:32] owh: or rather, via the menu options in the installer. [23:33] Which menu options? [23:33] the ones that lets you setup harddisks ;-) [23:33] All I see is Partition Disks, which gives me manual - no raid options seem apparent, or LVM, which I really don't want. [23:34] hmm [23:34] weird. [23:35] Ooooh. I am going through the installation a second time. I booted with a LiveCD to see if the partitioner would help. It didn't but cfdisk allowed me to mark the types as raid autodetect. Now I see a raid option in the manual partitioning. [23:40] Very nice. Not obvious to find, but very nice none-the-less. I'll do another trial to see if I can mark the types from within the installer, but so far I seem to have a method to build what I want. [23:51] To have a "Guided Partition - RAID" there are a few steps, do a guided partition on disk#1, write changes, do another guided partition on disk#2, write changes, change partition types to raid for all partitions, then setup software raid, then set partition types for the raid partitions, then set mount points. [23:54] Is there any reason why there isn't an installer option to create a guided raid? [23:56] Or is there an assumption that if you know what RAID is and why it might be of benefit to you, you also know how to set it up?
