[01:13] soulc: perhaps something as simple as a too restrictive permission [01:14] can you point to docs maybe? [01:14] soulc: check the permissions of /etc/pam.d/vsftpd [01:14] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 334 2008-05-25 17:05 vsftpd [01:15] soulc: and the /etc/pam.d directory? [01:15] should the dir be exicutable?

[01:22] soulc: no immediate clue, sorry [01:22] soulc: I would enable debugging somewhere, vsftpd probably [01:22] thanks anyway it is kinda strange [01:22] ok [01:22] or add some pam_warn.so lines in the pam file to see up to where it is getting [01:24] the error message is saying that it can't load the vsftpd file in /etc/pam.d [01:24] soulc: pastebin the error [01:24] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/17028/ [01:26] soulc: does the file exist? whats its perms?

[06:14] highpoint "open source" drivers [06:14] for the rocket raid 454 [06:15] I am trying to follow this howto: http://stefan.freyr.org/?page_id=6 [06:15] but am stuck at the make section [06:15] it is obvious I am missing headers [06:15] but I have no idea wich ones or how to get them [06:18] It's not obvious to me without an error message. [06:18] :) [06:19] there are alot of them [06:19] Pastebin them. [06:19] how do I do that? [06:19] I have been trying to pipe to an output file [06:19] with no success [06:20] Are you in an SSH terminal or at the console? If a SSH terminal just copy and paste. [06:21] at the terminal [06:21] ca_dsl: try 'upstream-dev' (it may still be in the repos) [06:22] You should be able to `command > output_file` [06:23] kgoetz: "Could not find package upstream-dev" [06:23] ls [06:23] oops. (ls wasa meant for my terminal) [06:23] hads: i did that but the output did not match what was on the screen [06:23] pity. it would be handy right now [06:24] Well it may be stderr, try `command &> output_file` [06:24] ca_dsl: you might need 2> as well (stderr) [06:24] ahh [06:24] okay [06:24] says that I don't have config.h [06:25] Do you have the kernel headers installed?

[06:33] am running all these commands after a sudo su [06:34] I never did a build-dep [06:34] could that be the prob [06:34] simply apt-get install [06:34] * nealmcb nods [06:34] Sounds like the source is too old for the kernel you are running. [06:34] that's what its for [06:34] *sigh* [06:34] figures [06:34] your also using your own environment, just be aware that when you switch back to your user some of your files may be owend by root [06:35] hmm, did not know that but is good to know [06:35] if I could build the driver then install it the file ownership is not too important [06:35] I would think any way [06:36] I need this driver for the rocket raid card as [06:37] I intend to use the raid 5 array to store the network data [06:37] http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch/2006-December/012952.html [06:37] * ca_dsl goes to url [06:38] *ponders* [06:38] could I copy autoconf.h to config.h [06:38] since i have no idea where the reference is for me to change it [06:38] nm [06:39] so if I understand that [06:40] I simply edit the .c file and change config.h to autoconf.h [06:41] well that took care of the first error [06:41] but there are a whole bunch of others [06:54] hads: I can send you the file [06:54] the output that is [07:01] ahh [07:02] hads you were right [07:02] the source code it too old for the kernal [07:02] http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=777848 [07:04] so basically this card is a 4 channel ide card for me [07:04] with no raid support [07:13] if I could download a pre-compiled driver for ubuntu 7 would it work on 8? [07:14] ie compile it on 7 and copy it my server (8) [07:14] ? [07:18] well i guess compile it on a previous kernel [07:18] and use it on the new kernerl [07:19] err kernel? [07:19] anyone? [07:31] i doubt it would [07:32] (read: it wont) === nijaba` is now known as nijaba [08:05] does the server kernel have PAE support? [08:12] heylow [08:13] i have a handfull of qestions... that im shur any of you can easly anwser [08:15] !ask | thatguyisjames [08:15] thatguyisjames: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [08:15] ok... i wanted to wait to make shur you all where alive.. [08:17] i have just installed the 8.04 ubuntu server on a older pc i have siting around. im just goofing around to basicly see what i can do, i want to learn more about web services and servers. now i have a ok knolage of command line, i can get around in CLI, but... i dont know much about servers. i know enuff about IP addresses to setup a small network. but i dont understand how i can get my dommain name to work and stuff.. [08:18] i have currently a static ip address setup... and the server is named \\server ... the catch is how do i get it so i can go to the firefox addie..and type http://server and it load the page [08:18] not just load the page... but load a html page that i made... i dont even know what folder to ftp into ..or if i can even ftp it... [08:18] you need a dns server of some sort [08:18] and an httpd i guess [08:18] use scp to copy files around [08:19] over the network? [08:19] see im making the webpages on this desktop...and im going to ftp over to it.. or was... cuz thats all ive ever messed with is ftp [08:19] use scp to copy files around [08:19] the webserver is working.... when i type in the IP it conects and gives me LAMP's defualt of 'its working!' [08:20] so syntax would be somthign like ' scp ~/site http://server/site [08:20] or is scp the protacol [08:21] scp is the tool. man scp [08:21] (ssh is the protool) [08:21] *protocol [08:23] ok thats easy enuff so the syntax is pretty simple i omost had it right... [08:23] scp thatguy@server ~/file.html [08:23] almost [08:24] scp ~/myfile login@server: [08:24] and you'll probably want to make a public_html in your home on the server, and enable usermod [08:24] oks.. now..where do i put that on the server.. [08:24] so in the home folder.. i need to make AH HA.. so the home folder is like the main index [08:25] so make a dir . then do a chmod 777 on it? [08:25] i just dont get how the computer takes the ip address and turns it into a webpage [08:25] i get that apache dose it.. i just dont get what its thinking and like how its ya works [08:26] did you bother to read what i said :/ [08:27] yes... make a folder that is public and enable usermod... [08:27] i made a folder named ... public... [08:27] and i ran chmod 777 [08:29] you dont need or want to [08:29] you want ~/public_html to be 755 [08:30] and your ~ to be 701 [08:30] ok [08:31] now how do i view a hosted webpage, i just made a html doc on the server a simple one in nano, and i saved it test.html inside public [08:32] is that where i should save the file... what i dont you understand is i am completly dumbfounded on how apache is hosting this i dont understand the background workings...so everything else is magic cuz i dont know the workings [08:33] it would be easier to work with you if you used english. [08:33] and i cant find crap online thats helpful... everything is telling you how to install apache .. bla bla ..but isnt explaing where to store the files. [08:35] (my apologies for bad spelling and punctuation.) i will try and type slower so that its clearer, its just i am geting frustrated. all im looking for is a short explination on where to store my html files so that i can go to firefox, and type http://www.server.net/index.html and get a page i made [08:36] if you visit http://server.net/~yourusername/index.html you will see the index.html in ~/public_html on the server [08:37] if you visit http://server.net/index.html you will see index.html in /var/www/ on the server (thats its default location at least) [08:37] to get server.net to resolv to an IP address you will either need to add it to your clients hosts file, or setup a dns server of some sort [08:39] ok and is that the /etc/resolv.conf (somone elses wrote a readme on how to setup LAMP) they mentioned this. [08:39] http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/05/ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn-lamp-server.html [08:40] thats what i followed [08:42] no its not. its the hosts file ( /etc/hosts) for static configuration, or a dns server [08:43] ok i found host.conf it says [08:43] order host,bind [08:43] multi on [08:44] did you find /etc/hosts? [08:44] yes.. its /etc/host.conf [08:44] NO ITS NOT [08:45] oks.. i did ls |home so i can see it all.... [08:45] i have host.conf hostname hosts [08:46] cat hostname prints out server [08:46] should i change that to server.net or .com? [08:46] no. server is fine [08:48] oks now with the home dir it dont seem to be working, i cant accsess the server trew the name yet. ive just been doing http:// ip address/ and it brings up the index.html that is in /var/www [08:49] have you done this? : (17:07:28) kgoetz: to get server.net to resolv to an IP address you will either need to add it to your clients hosts file, or setup a dns server of some sort [08:50] 'add to your clients host file' that means on this comptuer .. i have to add server to the hosts file?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [08:52] dude i got it... just add the ip and then add the name server [08:53] no, then the servers name [08:54] yep, in my case the name of the server is server [08:54] "name server" means something else again :) [08:54] yep http://server/ now gives me the it index page ... found in /var/www on the server [08:56] woot :) [08:56] oks thats a pretty simple fix, this is just a 'in house' fix tho... for small networks. my desktop is the only comptuer that knows to think of 192.168.1.2 as server every one else just sees the ip address [08:56] now ... if i type http://server/thatguy/index.html i get a not found error [08:57] needs to be http://server/~thatguy/ [08:57] (notice tilda) [08:57] yep.. i noticed it..but i figured it was a typo [08:58] still gives me a error saying not found on server [08:58] do i need to chmod 755 the html file too? [08:58] 644 should do [09:00] still its not finding it [09:01] do i need to do a link in the /var/www/ folder or dosnt apache need to know what folders to share to the 'net' [09:01] sounds like the module isnt enabled properly (without knowing the error your getting) [09:02] its a 404 error [09:03] ' the reqested url was not found on this server [09:03] how did you enable the userdir module? [09:04] ... i installed LAMP... http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/05/ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn-lamp-server.html [09:05] i fallowed this read me exactly down to the static ip... [09:06] look this whole thing is a learning experiance. im just trying to learn how all this works.i dont know anything about any of this. i know linux, i dont know web or server info at all [09:08] right. so having installed a lamp server, you have to work out how to enable userdir [09:09] btw, have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP ? [09:09] yes? ... as in i havnt done it yet [09:09] i have googled everything i can thing of and cant find any good resorces ... just to explain the software... [09:17] ok so it tells me to make a new file called 'mysite' inside of /etc/apache2/sites-available/ and point it to my home/user/public_html [09:17] ive done this... now the name defualt means this is the defualt page loaded when the server is reached... how do i make it view the 'mysite' option? [09:25] ahh.. im done for the night.. ill bug you peeps later. thank you for the link, that was very helpful, and you did help me understand alittle bit more then i did. [09:27] moin [10:44] i installed windows server 2008 a while back, then I booted the hardy live cd and used gparted to resize my main NTFS and create a small ext2 fs as well.... when I rebooted the machine it failed to boot because gparted has overwritten tbe MBR... this is NOT good because tons of people will never install linux ever again if this happens [10:45] (I was able to restore the MBR with dd etc but most windows users won't have a chance to recover from such an error) [10:45] i believe this is a new bug which happens only with windows server 2008 because I did the same thing at home with my vista home premium and there everything worked fine [11:15] mnemo: Please report a bug at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+filebug [11:16] i dont have access to the windows server 2008 machine any more so I can't provide any detailed info on it [11:26] i posted a bug now anyway --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/237585 [11:26] Launchpad bug 237585 in gparted "gparted makes MBR unreadable by win2008" [Undecided,New] [11:27] hello all [11:28] I want to create my first test blueprint.

Client does have access to the cd but just no sound. I have verified that nothing is muted. Any help here? [12:05] ikonia: umm.. I'm authenticated using ldap [12:05] cjsstables: hello, what's up [12:05] just reading [12:05] cjsstables: the cdrom is not local ? [12:06] yes cdrom is local on the client. it is playing fine. just no sound on the client [12:06] how can it be playing fine on the client, but have no sound on the client ? [12:06] can you be a bit more specific [12:08] What I mean is the I have rhythem box running. IT accesses the cdrom just fine. and begins playing the Audio CD, but I have no sound output [12:08] cjsstables: ok, can anything else work/play sound ? [12:09] no [12:10] cjsstables: is your user in the audio group ? [12:10] If I log on to the client with a local user (non network authentication) sound plays just fine. Also on boot up I get the ubuntu drum roll... [12:10] ok, so it looks like your central authenticated user is not in the audio gorup [12:10] group [12:10] (at a guess) [12:10] my guess is no the user is not in the audion group since the user is an ldap authenticated user [12:11] ok, so make a ldap audio group [12:12] ok. I know how to make an ldap group, but I don't know the ins and outs of making a specific audio group [12:12] on your local box the sound stuff is controlled via a group called "audio" with a gid of 30 (I think) easy think to do is to match that up in ldap [12:13] you can do it in am ore awkward way, but thats the easy way [12:14] ok. I use phpldapadmin to edit groups after I create them, so once created then use phpldapadmin to change gid to 30 right [12:14] call it audio too to keep it simple, but the key is the gid [12:14] see how that effects your client [12:14] (I now see why you where pointing out it was authed against ldap) [12:15] ok I can do that... how can I verify that the local client uses gid30 for audio? [12:15] cjsstables: look in /etc/group at the adutio group [12:15] audio [12:16] or do "id" on your local user [12:16] (the one that works) [12:16] or "groups" [12:17] hello [12:17] ok. I gotta switch users and be back.... thanks [12:17] could anyone please give me a dns server ip (anything but a german dns) [12:17] 208.67.222.222 [12:18] errr, most dns servers will be locked down from public use [12:18] Nafallo: thanks!

[15:57] coffee break now... :) [16:25] any way to get official cds of the ubuntu server? [16:26] Hey guys. I've implemented an icecast2 server, but using ffmpeg2theora with oggfwd renderse horribly out of sync videos. I'm working on an mplayer hack right now that'll encode from raw streams sitting in a buffer. In the meantime, any other ideas for a small streaming server for 5 people? [16:26] jjesse: shipit.ubuntu.com is what you are probably looking for [16:27] zul: can i get official server cds from there? i know i can get official ubuntu cds but didn't know if i can get official server cds [16:28] jjesse: I believe so but if you download the iso thats offical as well [16:28] i know was hoping for something shiny and nice like i got at UDS Boston [16:30]
