Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option. Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have beensearched. [00:58] rhineheart_m: you may want to run fsck on the fs [00:59] how to do it? [01:00] you can't fsck a mounted filesystem... I can't remember how your force a fsck check on reboot [01:00] but you can do it from the live cd [01:05] but is it alright to just ignore the waning? [01:05] rhineheart_m: the message may be due to an error in the filesystem. you should try to see if fsck will fix it. [01:06] mok0: You can boot into rescue mode from within grub, then remount the rootfs, then fsck it. [01:06] rhineheart_m: ^ [01:06] owh: thx [01:07] owh: is it a security concern? [01:10] rhineheart_m: it could be, if your system has been compromised [01:10] ows... my box has been running for a month already... [01:10] rhineheart_m: but first check if it's something else [01:11] and I don't like to ruin its uptime [01:13] rhineheart_m: :-) [01:14] IMHO uptime should be no concern at all for a compromised machine. [01:14] s/compromised/possibly compromised/ [01:15] rhineheart_m: what ports are open on the machine? [01:16] SMTP, IMAP, POP3, http [01:17] Have you got joomla [01:17] yep. but I currently made it offline [01:18] beware of that, there are several exploits for joomla plugins [01:19] rhineheart_m: you need to turn php safemode on [01:20] but I have drupal.. is it alright? [01:20] rhineheart_m: as far as I know, yes [01:21] rhineheart_m: what else did chkrootkit say? [01:21] only that.. [01:23] how to manually start chkrootkit scan? [01:23] rhineheart_m: usually it gives a bunch of "nothing found" messages [01:23] yeah... nothing found [01:23] rhineheart_m: try rkhunter as well [01:26] okay. I just tried ./chkrootkit [01:26] ...and? [01:28] Searching for sniffer's logs, it may take a while... >>>> so far no warning.. [01:28] Can someone remind me what ubuntu-jeos-builder is called these days? [01:30] can anyone tell me if a brand new ubuntu server install has make, straight out of the box? [01:32] halcyonCorsair: don't know for sure, but I would guess so [01:35] halcyonCorsair: I'm booting a clean hardy to find out for you. [01:36] owh: woo! you rock [01:36] halcyonCorsair: Only when I'm not pulling my hair out with idiot couriers and hosting companies :) [01:37] halcyonCorsair: No, a standard ubuntu-server install with all tasks installed does not appear to have make. [01:37] hmm [01:38] a conundrum [01:38] halcyonCorsair: what is the background for your question? [01:39] i'm leaving my current job, and am trying to write a script to take over a lot of the gruntwork/initial setup of a specific type of server they use here [01:40] halcyonCorsair: you mean you're replacing yourself with a script :-) [01:41] mok0: well...kind of, theres still a bunch of configuration to do at the end [01:41] mok0: this is really something i would have done ages ago if i'd had the time [01:41] halcyonCorsair: we use cfengine [01:41] i'd actually meant to make a customised ubuntu-server install cd... [01:41] cfengine? [01:42] halcyonCorsair: yes, check it out. [01:42] soren: Are you awake? [01:43] halcyonCorsair: so, all I need for a new server is to configure cfengine (which I do with a tarball) and start it [01:45] mok0: i'm not sure i have the time to learn and make it work [01:46] halcyonCorsair: yeah it's take some time [01:46] a quick, dirty, and fragile bash script may be the go [01:46] s/take/takes [01:46] halcyonCorsair: of course your script could apt-get install make [01:47] mok0: may as well make it: aptitude install build-essentials [01:47] halcyonCorsair: right [01:47] the irony is that i was going to use make to (among other things) install an apt/sources.list file :) [01:48] halcyonCorsair: of course you could also create a .deb package [01:48] mok0: never done that before [01:49] halcyonCorsair: ah, then it's the bash script I guess :-) [01:49] mok0: how hard is that from scratch? [01:50] halcyonCorsair: It's not hard, but you need to learn how to do it [01:50] halcyonCorsair: which also takes time [01:51] halcyonCorsair: ... and the bash script can do the same just as well [01:52] ah well... [01:53] halcyonCorsair: I'm sure you'll handle it :) [01:53] ajmitch: hey sup! [01:53] still in dunedin, where are you moving on to? [01:53] ajmitch: yeah, it'll be a quick, and hella dirty script, but it should get the job doe [01:54] halcyonCorsair: just do something like echo "my consulting fees are blah blah and blah" [01:54] ajmitch: i don't have a new job yet, looking for something as a junior developer, any ideas appreciated [01:55] ajmitch: probably something in wellington, although melbourne might be nice [01:55] halcyonCorsair: I have the impression that Linux sysadms are in pretty high demand [01:58] depends on where in the world [01:59] i think there are more sheep in nz then linux sysadmins [01:59] probably the same in canada [02:00] no we congregate in one area much like sheep [02:00] So, you don't wanna look for a job as a sheep :-P [02:00] well, there seem to be a bunch of sysadmin jobs [02:01] junior developer is more rare though [02:01] halcyonCorsair: you start somewhere, prove your worth, and move on, yes? [02:02] mok0: no, i mean most junior dev jobs are supplied by grad intakes and that sort of thing, so its a rare position to be advertised [02:02] mok0: everyone wants intermediate/senior [02:02] halcyonCorsair: ok [02:06] well g'night gang, see you later! === gouki_ is now known as gouki === alexos is now known as penguim === dantalizing is now known as syberghost === syberghost is now known as dantalizing [06:45] moin [07:02] im getting massive iowait problems often stoping me from even sshing into my box.. but the crazy thing is the only thing running is rtorrent downloading to a 1.5tb lvm partion... on ubuntu server any ideas what the problem could be? [07:04] does any know/hear about the issue with a relay server wich died some weeks ago? === zobbo_ is now known as zobbo [07:33] <_ruben> Jeeves_: im getting getting bitten by 'max connections reached' using rsync again/still :-/ [07:34] <_ruben> Jeeves_: then again, might still be a local error: suse box rsync's fine, ubuntu doesnt [07:34] _ruben: You might also just really hit the limit ;) [07:35] <_ruben> Jeeves_: only one box trying it at the same time .. unless its a total of 4 rsync's on your side? [07:51] We have a limit of four, indeed [07:52] <_ruben> Jeeves_: ahh, then we probably misunderstood eachother earlier ;) === Syntux_ is now known as Syntux [11:01] hello all, i have a problem running mod_rewrite in apache2, any help ? [11:03] it would best to describe your problem and then wait to see if anyone can answer it [11:04] also there is #apache if I recall correctly [11:04] you do [11:44] neat, a BIOS update got KVM working on my laptop [11:44] it certainly is quick [11:52] mdz_: Which laptop? [12:00] soren: T61 [12:01] mdz_: Ok, thanks. It's good to know that sort of thing if someone asks why it doesn't work on their laptop. [12:19] new box setup with lighty+php. using fopen gives me the error: Function not implemented But I can't deteremine what to install to get it to work. anyone? [12:35] slicslak: You really, really need to give more info than that. [12:35] How did you set it up? Where are you seeting this error? How exactly did you call it? [12:38] oh i thought it would just be a package i have to install that contains fs related functions for php [12:40] but from what your saying and what google is saying i'm taking it that's not the case [13:01] Is there a serverteam meeting tonight? [13:01] hello.. anybody here who has domain at godaddy? [13:02] falk: according to the e-mail that mathiaz sent out yes for now [13:02] zul: Ah, now I am ashamed. There is stood :) [13:06] I am having trouble what road to go. cfengine - puppet or sumfink else.. [13:07] Just the daily tasks, updating, checking logs and so on. [13:11] any ideas? [13:15] I think puppet is the buzzword for the day but I always had a custom system [13:18] hello..who among you here manages to install BIND? [13:19] <_ruben> sudo apt-get install dns-server^ .... done. [13:22] just that? [13:23] zul: just what I thought.. Everywhere I read about puppet :) [13:25] <_ruben> rhineheart_m: for installation: yes .. configuration: well, depends, by default you'll have a working caching dns server, add some zonefiles and you'll have an authorative one === crummygummy_ is now known as CrummyGummy [13:40] rhineheart_m: installing it and configuring it well are two very different things, [13:40] rhineheart_m: running a bad dns server can get you blacklisted and kicked off your isp === mdz_ is now known as mdz [14:38] hi [14:38] where could i check if i get: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://127.0.0.1: Invalid credentials [14:38] my password in /etc/ldap.secret is correct [14:48] spiekey: are you trying to login as a non-admin user? [14:53] yess [14:53] id does not work, too [14:53] smbldap-usershow works [14:53] so i guess nss can not talk to ldap :-/ [14:57] spieky: You might want to check "the other end" to se what is actually recieved there (if anything). If you are on a low traffic ldap server, try starting slapd with debugging on, (loglevel 392 might be usefull, as far as I remember) [14:58] okay [15:15] Hi... I remember installing ubuntu server's apps on a ubuntu desktop install by using something like .. apt-get install ubuntu-server or linux-server .. I can't quite recall... does anyone know? [15:16] And before you warn me, I just use this dektop to play around with random stuff, it's not a real server :p [15:22] Mimi: you're probably looking for tasksel, if you do sudo tasksel you'll be able to install them [15:27] Oh! Yes! I looked it up online, and yes, that sounds perfect! Thanks a bunch! :D === JaxxMaxx___ is now known as JaxxMaxx_ [17:08] can ubuntu-server be an dhcp server and proxy/cache-mirror for the ubuntu packages ( it is for an Ubuntu-installfest ) [17:09] yes [17:09] what is the easiest way ? [17:10] apt-cache ? apt-proxy ? [17:10] probably [17:11] pvandewyngaerde: why not setup a full mirror? apt-mirror makes it really easy [17:12] we dont need al packages, we just dont want the same packages to be downloaded twice on a volume-limited internet connection [17:13] apt-proxy should do it [17:18] but then we need to configure the clients [17:22] can we make the dhcp server from the ubuntu-server force the clients to use the apt-proxy transparant ? [17:37] pvandewyngaerde: not from the dhcp server [17:37] pvandewyngaerde: however you could setup a tranparent proxy on the server [17:38] pvandewyngaerde: so that every http request goes through the apt-proxy [17:38] pvandewyngaerde: but that would break all non apt http traffic [17:38] pvandewyngaerde: I'd setup an apt proxy and point clients to use the local apt mirror [17:45] cant view php files on local server html files work fine. evertying is installed..just went through the whole process again and have the same problem.......please any help would br very appreciated. [17:51] hello [17:57] i have setup PXE install server and it worked until reboot, now i have problem with dchp3 server not starting. (cant stop/start/restart) [17:59] how can i check what is blocking it to start ? [18:00] less /var/log/daemon.log [18:01] tnx Jeeves_ [18:01] np [18:01] anyone got any ideas on my problem? [18:02] a2enmod php5 [18:02] it seems dhcp is bounding to wlan0 instead of eth0 , any way how can i point it to eth0 only ? [18:03] /etc/default/dhcpd (or something like that) [18:03] Jeeves_: dhcp3-server ? [18:04] jups [18:04] it is set to eth0 there [18:04] ps axu | grep dhcpd [18:04] ' do-release-upgrade -d' safe to do on a production server yet? [18:04] ps axu | grep dhcp [18:04] What does that say [18:04] CharlieSu: Yeah, I think it's safe enough [18:05] * Jeeves_ runs it since two months [18:05] Haven't had troubles [18:05] So a few hours before release should be safe too :) [18:05] Jeeves_: will anything bad happen to running services?

[18:05] m11: That's the dhcp client [18:06] CharlieSu: They should :) [18:06] Jeeves_: wlan0 takes DHCP from AP , and eth0 should serve one on local network [18:06] Jeeves_: shoudl i run it under screen? === LittleKiller is now known as AlabamaHit [18:10] m11: What I mean is, dhcpd isn't runningnow [18:10] CharlieSu: Yeah, you could do that [18:10] CharlieSu: You need te reboot anyways, so .. [18:10] Jeeves_: ok found error, gateway was set to .1.1 instead .0.1 , many tnx m8 [18:10] np [18:11] one more question , when i list netstat -uap , b4 it used to give me bootps and bootpc , now i only get bootpc ,can anyone explain what this two are for ? [18:38] Hello. I am migrating a IPSEC connection from an old OpenBSD box to Ubuntu. OpenBSD uses isakmpd for IPSEC while, it seems to me, on Linux the KAME implementation is more popular. But there is isakmpd on Linux. So I was wondering if any of you guys might have a suggestion why I should use one or the other? For now I suppose that by using isampd on Linux would allow me to transfer everything verbatim from the OpenBSD box [19:16] I'm thinking of buying the following board for home usage. ( http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=9&l2=39&l3=352&l4=0&model=1922&modelmenu=1 ). I was thinking of an intel board first, but this might suit me better. However, it not being intel, I'm worried about the support. The onboard graphics are XGI® Z9s. Anyone here that has an informed opinion? [19:17] finalbeta: should be fine to run the console [19:18] since this is a home server, I will want to do more then that. dare I say compiz. (I know it's laughable on a server) [19:20] do it with pentium mmx :) [19:31] finalbeta: i'd probably just use the alternate install if you're going to be doing a home server that may or may not run compiz [19:31] good_dana: that I will surly do. [19:32] but I'm not sure about anything right now. There isn't a single board that has hardware raid 5 support. And they all offer that standard for windows. [19:33] so a copy of windows is cheaper then a raid 5 controller. [19:47] just use LVM and linux software raid [19:48] are you using SATA drives? [19:50] I will be. [19:51] have you read http://linux-ata.org/faq-sata-raid.html ? and/or do you know about sataraid [19:51] ? [19:51] I have not, I will get right on that. [19:54] right, I knew about fake raid etc, didn't know it was the case in this matter. [19:57] i guess if you're looking for a project, getting dmraid set up would be fine [19:57] but, in my experience, it's been a huge pain, and i've always ended up going back to LVM and/or linux software raid [19:59] In case of software raid, the raid table (or how is it called), is written to the os disk right? [19:59] if the os is lost, the raid is broken? [19:59] ehm, destroyed. [20:01] the os would be running on a stripe, or normal disk, the raid 5 would serve data. [20:03] * faulkes- sighs [20:03] I love vendors who despite supporting ssh, ftp, http on there equipment, in order to download an advanced config, require you to use xmodem [20:06] finalbeta: i'm not sure, i think there is a way to restore the raid, even with OS failure [20:16] by change, anyone here know where I could find a web application to share file : you upload and the application give you a big url you can share with your friend to download it. The target is to avoid huge attached file in the emails ;) [20:18] * Koon waves from below the new hardware pile [20:18] LMJ: one of our customers uses this http://www.sharing-file.com/ , very nice, not free though. [20:19] actually, it might be free for a basic version, not sure [20:29] LMJ: yousendit.com sharespace.com [20:29] ok, thanks finalbeta , gonna check it out [20:31] well, I would one I can host myself [20:35] I've got a Ubuntu server upgrade gone bad... can someone advise? stuck on Mailscanner issues, exactly like: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62307/ Would be very grateful for some assistance. [20:41] you might try using -f with aptitude to see if it'll 'try hard' to fix dependency issues [20:44] faulkes-, will try, thanks for the idea. I'm used to using "apt-get" instead of aptitude. [21:01] that seems to have helped, as it went beyond mailscanner, but now it has a ton of packages on the "will be upgraded" list when I do "aptitude upgrad" but it doesn't seem to install anything. [21:01] dist-upgrade [21:01] upgrade never installs new packages [21:01] damn, it is still complaining about mailscanner, then stops the upgrade [21:02] how can I exclude mailscanner? [21:02] stop using aptitude [21:02] what are you trying to do, anyway? [21:02] I'm upgrading from feisty to the new one. [21:03] you have to upgrade to gutsy first [21:03] I updated /etc/apt/sources.list, then apt-get dist-upgrade. [21:03] and it went all to hell [21:03] feisty -> hardy isn't supported [21:03] feisty -> gutsy -> hardy [21:03] okay, do I have to edit apt/sources and add gutsy, then dist-upgrade? [21:03] or am i totally hosed now. [21:03] is that desktop or server? [21:05] server. [21:06] check out if there's a update-manager-core package in feisty [21:06] i don't recall when that tool was introduced [21:39] 8.04 JeOS question. I can't install lamp-server, no package. Thoughts? [21:39] banditti: I believe you can install tasksel and install it that way [21:44] tasksel showed it as an options, but as of yet, (+/- 2 mins) it is sitting at 0% installed [21:44] when I do an apt-cache search lamp, I get no lamp-server option. [21:44] I also checked sources.list and it looks normal. [21:46] banditti: can you try to do a 'sudo apt-get install lamp-server^' (the ^ at the end is not a typo)? [21:49] I missed the ^ Thank you so much. What does that do anyway? [21:51] installs a task' [21:52] hmmm. How can I have been using it for this long and not know that. thanks [21:52] banditti: i didn't know that either... :D [21:59] i get: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://127.0.0.1: Invalid credentials [21:59] by setting the sldapd loglevel to 32 i can see no SEARCH operations. [21:59] any ideas? [22:05] sorry, i'm really outdated with ldap stuff [22:05] didn't touch it for years... [22:06] spiekey_: have you configured /etc/nsswitch.conf? [22:08] i have got it working with 6.06 ;) [22:08] yes, /etc/nssitch.conf is fine [22:09] spiekey_: did you migrate the settings to /etc/ldap.conf? [22:10] spiekey_: the ones that were in /etc/pam-ldap.conf and /etc/libnss-ldap.conf [22:10] this is my loglevl 256: http://pastebin.ca/995070 [22:11] i have got the feeling that my connection/bind parameters are wrong or that my DB is corrupt [22:11] spiekey_: did you have it configured for "dc=example,dc=net" ? [22:12] i have two boxes here. Dapper and Hardy [22:12] i set them up with the smbldap installer [22:13] sommer: You know that there is a meeting on right? [22:13] just hardy makes trouble. I can add/remove/show users with the smbldap tools, but i can not use services that use nss [22:13] owh: heh, yep I'm dual tasking [22:13] sommer: Doh, you're in the top half of the list, NM. [22:14] whats the meeting channel again? Can anyone join and silently take part? [22:14] spiekey_: #ubuntu-meeting and yes [22:14] spiekey_: I haven't used smbldap tools, but you might double check the pam files in /etc/pam.d/common-auth and /etc/pam.d/common-account [22:14] #ubuntu-meeting [22:14] spiekey_: make sure pam_ldap.so is there [22:15] thanks nijaba [22:15] sommer: but the id command does not use pam at all, right? [22:16] common-auth and common-account seem okay [22:16] spiekey_: what about getent passwd, does that show you ldap users? [22:17] sommer: no [22:25] sommer: i get the ldap error 49 in my logs. --> http://www.directory-info.com/LDAP/LDAPErrorCodes.html [22:25] looks like i am gettign close ;) [22:27] spiekey_: are you using winbind? [22:29] no [22:30] spiekey_: and your /etc/ldap.conf is correct? can you post it? or the relevant parts [22:31] ldapsearch -b "dc=example,dc=net" -x "cn=myusername" --> works [22:31] spiekey_: you do have libnss-ldap installed right? [22:32] spiekey_: is there any errors in /var/log/auth.log that may be related? [22:32] give me 3mins to check that all :) [22:36] yey! [22:36] got it! [22:36] supid /etc/ldap.conf was wrong [22:37] that files does not exist in dapper [22:39] * spiekey_ is soooo happy :)) [22:40] spiekey_: ya, it was migrated from the other pam-ldap.conf and libnss-ldap.conf (which I believe are debian specific) [23:01] nijaba: when and what time are you flight back home from UDS? [23:01] I am flying on the last day on Air France at 20:40 [23:02] * nxvl looks on the internet [23:02] nijaba: i'm planning to do my trip backwards, it's a PITA to fligh from Prague to Athens [23:02] Hello. I am trying to get my old Dot Matrix (LPT) color printer working and on the network through my server computer, however, it continually fails. I dont know how to set this up in the CLI environment, anyone know how? [23:03] nxvl: ok. [23:11] sommer: thanks for the help. n8n8 [23:15] mathiaz: your intuition was right - it is an issue with ubuntu-vm-builder and locales [23:15] soren: how can we ubuntu-vm-builder problems with "perl: warning: Setting locale failed." (that is what really broke my postgres install!) [23:15] ...can we avoid... [23:16] * nealmcb looks for where LANG = "en_US.UTF-8" is coming from in ubuntu-vm-builder... [23:16] nealmcb: the problem is that the local is not installed by default, the langage pack [23:17] nealmcb: IIRC I've added the -en langage pack when installing with ubuntu-vm-builder and some of the errors went away [23:17] LANG=C might work [23:17] nealmcb: yes - that could also help [23:18] nealmcb: as it's a shell script, it takes the LANG on your system [23:18] nealmcb: and the lang is not installed by default by ubuntu-vm-builder [23:19] mathiaz: where does it put the LANG? [23:21] nealmcb: Yeah, we should really put LANG=C (and LC_ALL=C) in there. [23:21] AHA!! It picks the LANG up in the environment during ssh login [23:24] I would think that making sure the user picks a language during initial build, one that they are likely to use to log in, would be better. perhaps defaulting to the LANG used when ubuntu-vm-builder is run [23:25] what does vmware do? how about others? [23:25] oh - they ask during installation.... dooh [23:26] what other things might the installer be doing that u-v-b isn't? like timezones..... [23:26] keyboards... [23:31] Lots of stuff. [23:55] does the server installer give options of using LVM during install? [23:57] stoked: yes [23:58] thanks [23:58] does server have a LVM gui like opensuse/redhat?
