[04:03] Invisionfree: what are you wanting to do? [04:03] oh woops you'll need to install X and it's dependencies [04:03] !servergui [04:03] Ubuntu server does not install a desktop environment or X11 by default in order to enhance security, efficiency and performance. !eBox provides a GUI system management option via a web interface. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI for more background and options. [04:03] should get you started [04:10] sommer [04:10] I installed KDE and x11-common [04:10] But I don't know what to do now .. [04:11] sommer? [04:11] Invisionfree: did you follow the instrucions in the link? [04:11] instructions even [04:11] sommer, it's hard to open a link without any GUIs .. [04:12] ah, you can use w3m, it's installed by default... or another computer with a browser :) [04:13] Well [04:13] One is watching a movie [04:13] Oh well [04:16] It's installiong kubuntu-desktop. [04:16] Invisionfree: make sure you have: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg x-window-system-core [04:16] and if you want gui login install kdm [04:17] Ok. [04:20] sommer, if I did apt-get install kde, do I need to install kubuntu desktop? [04:21] I'm not sure, I've never installed kde on a server before... I'd say give it a try and see how it goes :) [04:21] Hmm... [04:21] 5 minutes to restart. [04:22] I would think that kubuntu-desktop would include other packages like openoffice that you may not need [04:22] sommer: If Idid, I couldinstall them [04:23] just trying to install hardy server.. At the grub install page it fails to install into "/target/". Several retrys and nothing .. Any ideas? [04:23] Restarting in 3 minutes! [04:24] Two.. [04:24] boom [04:25] Invisionfree: what are you trying to accomplish? it may be easier for you to install the desktop edition and add server packages to it [04:25] Scunizi: did it give you any errors? [04:26] Scunizi: are you trying on a x86 or amd64? [04:28] x86 and the only error is the one about grub [04:28] mmm... nothing in /var/log/syslog? [04:28] sommer >>>>> ^ <<<<<< [04:28] sorry.. [04:28] haven't got past the grub part yet.. can't boot the machine. [04:29] you can get another console by hitting alt+f2 - f4 [04:29] forgot about that.. let me check [04:29] sommer, I installed it, it still goes to KDE. [04:29] Er, CLI* [04:29] I believe the install log output is on alt+f4 [04:30] lee__: did you install kdm? [04:30] try startx [04:30] Yes sommer. [04:30] I did [04:30] It gave me some error [04:30] what was the error? [04:31] error 104 [04:31] No useable screens or something? [04:32] lee__: you probablty need to configure X then [04:32] How? [04:32] * lee__ forgets command [04:32] sommer.. got to ctrl-alt F2 and activated that tty. looked at the log and turned around to type here.. when turning back the screen was black with a few white squares.. however ctrl-alt-F1 takes me back to the normal install screen.. weird [04:34] sommer ran away, Scunizi :( [04:34] Scunizi: ya, sometimes the install display can be a little flaky, did you find anything on alt+f4? [04:34] Oh [04:34] lee__: looking [04:34] He just ran away from me then :x [04:35] sommer.. nothing.. however I decided to try lilo and it looks like it's moving along.. strange that grub wouldn't install but lilo would/is [04:35] lee__: try installing xdebconfigurator, I guess [04:36] Scunizi: ah, I think there was an issue with grub in the .iso's a few days ago, did you recently download the iso file? [04:36] never used lilo before.. this is a stand alone machine that I want to use in the house wirelessly.. .. Yep.. just got the iso tonight. [04:37] sommer: Installed, now what? [04:37] lee__: run the command I guess [04:37] rebooting into the sys.. lots of messages .. starting services and whatnot.. running local boot scripts now.. [04:37] I've never actually used it... don't run X on my servers :) [04:38] sommer: I tried, its not a cmd [04:38] lee__: you trying to get the gui up? which one gnome or kde? [04:38] lee__: dpkg -L xdebconfigurator | grep bin [04:38] should show you the executable files in the package [04:39] Scunizi: KDE [04:39] lee__: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start [04:40] Says it's already running.. [04:41] Scunizi: ^ [04:41] lee__: it may be easier for you to install the desktop edition and add server packages then the other way around [04:41] sommer: Aw. [05:16] ping [05:17] sommer, scunizi here.. internet goes up and down tonight.. did lee__ get my message about how to start kde desktop? [06:57] Anyone know if theres a way to setup my ubuntu box as a NAT with out using iptables? [06:59] <_ruben> why without iptables? [06:59] why with them? [07:00] <_ruben> because its the default and easy way of doing it? .. and 'setup my ubuntu as a NAT' doesnt make very much sense either .. tho im assuming you want a NAT-capable router [07:01] <_ruben> squid would be another solution, tho that wouldnt cover all protocols (far from it) .. socks being yet another, but requires support in the client apps [07:04] iptables seem complicated, I tried squid but im not really looking for something to filter anything [07:05] maybe Ill just have to learn how to setup iptables [07:07] <_ruben> http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html .. that's a decent tutorial to start with [07:09] geez [07:11] <_ruben> NAT (and networking in general, up to a certain point) is complex matter, if you dont want to dive into that, get yourself a simple hardware router (like one of those 4 port home dsl routers for like $30) [07:13] Im fine with networking, but iptables seem overly complicated to me [07:15] well thanks for the link ima need to start reading, later [07:39] hey [07:39] i need some "language" help :) [07:39] how would you write the following in english?: Hereby i declare that the following parts work. [07:43] <_ruben> sounds a bit "official", but is ok otherwise i'd say, though im not a native english speaker either [07:49] hehe, its supposed t be official :) [07:49] thanks! [08:14] Hello, is there someone with experience with Freeradius? [08:15] moin [08:15] sergevn, no. no one in the world [08:23] Kamping_Kaiser: bummer, than I am the only one [08:23] Kamping_Kaiser: who tries to make it work [08:24] Kamping_Kaiser: It is easier to ask if someone CAN help me, then spam my whole problem trough the channel :) [08:30] sergevn, it say in the /topic - || Be patient. Don't ask to ask, just ask. | [08:30] :) [08:30] its entirely posible we/i cant help, but i dont know until you ask :) [08:33] Kamping_Kaiser: true, sorry. well the problem is I am getting the following error during authentication: [08:34] rlm_eap_md5: User-Password is required for EAP-MD5 authentication [08:34] It's a problem with the way freeradius handles the password. [08:35] Freeradius is authenticating with OpenLDAP [08:35] with a md5hash as password, so hashing is not the problem either. [08:35] mm. i did freeradius+passwd file :/ looks like a problem i cant help with [08:36] yeah, but plaintext passwd-file is out of option, because it's not secure and we have an existing ldap server [08:36] it works with mschapv2 and the samba-NT hash in ldap [08:37] but now It needs to authenticate with the MD5 hash in ldap, using ttls for this. [08:39] i wasnt using plain text *hmf*. i was using system passwd [09:07] Kamping_Kaiser: ah ok :) [09:33] "It may be necessary that grsecurity instead track the Ubuntu LTS kernel so that users can have a stable kernel with up-to-date security fixes. I will update this page when a final decision has been reached.

I try to installed "jeos-8.04-beta" on vmware GSX, but during the installation, a message appear to say that he can not install GRUB, can you help me? please I ask my question on several chanel because I need an answer quickly [09:39] <_ruben> robin92: you might wanna check the various tty's to check for clues when that error is presented [09:52] _ruben: no error on tty [09:55] And I don't know why when I try I tried on VMw are GSX Server the live CD does not even load [10:11] <_ruben> live cd? jeos doesnt come on a live cd, its an install cd only [10:12] <_ruben> gsx and vmware server being pretty much the same product, i doubt it wouldnt work with gsx [10:12] <_ruben> unless gsx would be too old [10:48] hi, is there a mechanism for /etc/skel that is able to replace variables defined in the skel template files. e.g. to set the username inside a skel template file to the user whos home directory is being created? === Syntux is now known as c\windows\ === c\windows\ is now known as c === c is now known as rm-rf_c\windows [11:27] x4100 (non M2) aren't supported by ubuntu dapper?

[17:26] it should automatically boot into root in recovery mode [17:26] It doesn't .. [17:27] what does Control+D do? [17:28] Boots as my normal user [17:28] hmm.....

[17:57] did you remove it? [17:58] No, but it's tempting.. [17:59] then you won't anything but a terminal [18:01] blueyed: openvz is working for me ...sorry been back and forth...nneed to go to a meeting now...bbiab [18:05] seisen: I only want a terminal, would removing that fix my res problems?

[20:59] sommer: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors [21:00] So I don't need to type it every time? [21:01] sommer, nxvl? [21:01] nijaba: ya, I did some checking of the US links, but the ones I checked don't seem to have the daily builds. only releases [21:01] sp,,er [21:01] How do I make Ubuntu server do something when it boots <- Please halp sommer [21:02] Does anyone one have a VMware-ESX and/or a VMWare server at hand. Jeos needs some test love: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/result/1469/257 [21:02] Invisionfree: sorry I'm in the middle of a couple of other things... what do you want it to do? [21:02] http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/result/1469/258 [21:03] sommer: When it boots, run these commands: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up - sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys - sudo dhclient [21:04] Invisionfree: create a shell script with those commands and add the script path to rc.local, but if you just want to configure network /etc/network/interfaces is the proper place [21:05] How do I make a shell script? [21:05] .sh? [21:10] kirkland: are you here? [21:10] bipolar: hi [21:11] kirkland: I got your nick handle from your comment in bug 155947. [21:11] Launchpad bug 155947 in libnss-ldap "ldap config causes Ubuntu to hang at a reboot" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/155947 [21:11] kirkland: about ldap issues. I'm hoping you may be able to help me with something related. [21:12] bipolar: okay. are you able to reproduce that bug exactly, or something similar? [21:12] kirkland: I havn't gotten that far yet. I'm still working on getting ldap auth working on Hardy. my current workstations are Feisty. [21:13] it seems that 'dpkg-reconfigure -plow ldap-auth-config' doesn't create any config files that I can find. :( [21:13] bipolar: okay, that sounds like that path of this bug [21:14] yes. [21:14] bipolar: so you have ldap authentication working successfully on your feisty workstations? [21:14] yes [21:14] I have about 20 workstations [21:14] this Hardy one is a fresh install [21:15] and youre trying this on one test hardy machine? [21:15] yep. [21:15] I found this bug searching for the ldap config file issue. google led me to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnss-ldap/+bug/155947/comments/3 [21:15] Launchpad bug 155947 in libnss-ldap "ldap config causes Ubuntu to hang at a reboot" [Undecided,Incomplete] [21:16] I don't know what debconf is doing with the info I'm giving it, but it's not putting it anywhere I can find :( === SinTux is now known as Syntux [21:17] dendrobates-: are you around? I think you might have helpful info about this. [21:17] bipolar: let me try something [21:17] kirkland: yep [21:18] dendrobates-: see the last few lines by bipolar [21:19] kirkland: a debconf issue. [21:19] sommer? [21:20] Is it possible to install the ubuntu-server .iso on a server without a physical cdrom drive? E.g. by installing a minimal system and then making grub mount from a prepared partition, where the iso has been unpacked? [21:21] bipolar: and this hardy system... is it a fresh install, or an upgrade from feisty or gutsy? [21:21] kirkland: fresh install [21:22] although I played with making an ldap.conf file by hand at one point. I've moved the old one out of the way though. [21:22] maybe there is an option saved somewhere that's still telling debconf not to overwrite the now nonexistant ldap.conf file? [21:22] Will Server 8.04 be a LTS release as well, and will it be released on the same date as Desktop 8.04? [21:22] bipolar: it should generate /etc/ldap.conf [21:23] blueyed: it is possible. you can use pxe/tftp, or i've even kicked off an install by booting from a usb stick [21:23] # ls /etc/ldap.conf [21:23] ls: cannot access /etc/ldap.conf: No such file or directory [21:23] W8TAH: yes, 8.04 is an LTS release, all of the release dates are the same day [21:24] ok cool - -thanks kirkland [21:24] do you have ldap-auth-config installed? [21:24] W8TAH: Desktop and Server are mostly just different groupings of packages [21:24] kirkland: yes [21:25]
