Well I think I have all that setup, but "ping host.domain.name" doesn't seem to work. but "ping host.local" still works like it did before.

No idea what I'm doing wrong

host.local is using mDNS/Avahi/Bonjour/Zeroconf/whatever the hell they're calling it now.

host.domain.name is using BIND.

You should be able to check the zonefiles in /var/named/ to see whether or not records exist. If they don't, try adding one manually, or refreshing your DHCP lease (annoyingly some distros, namely Fedora/Redhat, don't send dhcp-hostname by default, and you need to add options in /etc/sysconfig). "dig @serveraddress somehostname" should work.

In addition to that, to get "shortname" lookups working, resolv.conf should have "domain" and "search" parameters (domain yourdomain\nsearch yourdomain).

Do I actually need to create the file in the "file" line of the zone? does it not make those automatically?

You need a zone file for the domain and the PTR records, it doesn't generate them.

You really don't need a reverse zone, you can just delete that if you want. Or to fix the error, add an A record for ns just like in the other file:

code:

ns      IN      A       <server ip>

As for this:

quote:

The forward map errors are from DHCPD in my syslog.

named[31278]: client <server ip>#54703: request has invalid signature: TSIG dhcpupdate: tsig verify failure (BADSIG)

dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.1.20 to 00:1a:e9:84:26:2c (Wii) via eth0

That means the keys you gave BIND for the zone don't match the keys you gave DHCPd. I'm not sure how to fix that (again, I don't know anything about dynamic dns) but maybe doublecheck whatever guide you followed to set that up in the first place?

Doh! I totally didn't update the Bind key in both places

Finally got it running. I also had to move the db.<domain> and reverse lookup files to /var/cache/bind as bind couldn't write to /etc/bind/ or create the .jnl files there.

I have a wget question that I figured some people here might know how to address. I am trying to get everything off a site that appears to be using some Javascript to serve photos. It doesn't look like I actually get those chunks. After some tries, my wget command has ballooned to:

code:

wget -r -np -m -k -l 100 [url]www.dontmindifidontshareurl.com[/url]

I am getting the impression it is not really possible. I guess Javascript is a bit of a sore point here. Are there alternatives? I thought I'd look up Chrome extensions, but I get things to, for example, take a screenshot of a web site, which is not the same.

There's probably a lot better ways to do it, but you could do it with Perl/Ruby and Mechanize.

A day's passed and all the DHCP/DNS fun is working like a charm. I ended up dropping reverse DNS because I couldn't get the configuration files right, and don't have much use for it anyways.

Now that I'm on the server kick I'm looking for other things I can do with a headless Linux server.

Is there a fast way to transfer most of a Linux setup from a VM to a desktop or the other way around? Like I have an Arch Linux installed on a VM right now and I don't know if there's a good way to somehow pull a list of install packages and all my configuration files and stuff so I could just install Arch on the desktop and then have it install all the same packages (minus the vmware things I guess) and copy my old configuration files, or if there's a better way to do this.

Also, what's the fastest method for remote access if you want more than just terminal access? I was using nomachine before because I'd used it at my school and it was pretty snappy, but it was a pain to get it working right and now it broke again so I'm looking for an alternative if possible.

NX. Kerberos. Fix reverse DNS (generally, SOA, one NS record is all you need, with PTRs for whatever else, ala:
1 PTR gateway.your.domain.
LDAP (FreeIPA ties Kerberos and LDAP together nicely) for centralized auth, Kerberos for single sign-on.
Jabber server.
DLNA.
SABNZBD.
Transmission-web or other web-based torrent client.
NFS.
PXE.

crosspost :

so I have a dumb linux question

I bought an asus zenbook with a SSD, and I'm trying to dual boot a windows install with ubuntu.

I have windows 7 installed, and my partitions all set - with about 16gb free for a linux install. my disk is formatted as a 'basic' windows disk, not a dynamic.

when I try to install ubuntu, I get to the point where I'm selecting the partition/drive to install it to, and it sees my SSD, but it shows the drive as having 0 partitions, with 100% space free. obviously I'm not going to continue from that point, as the installer would just overwrite my partition table and gently caress my windows install.

anyone have any idea why linux wouldn't be seeing my partitions on this SSD?

Thanks, for some reason I'd thought that VNC setups could only display an entire desktop, but I setup my server (tightvnc) to launch individual programs instead of an entire desktop and it seems to work fine. I'm guessing this has something to do with the way the X window system works.

The only problem is it seems a bit slow compared to nomachine, which I think was just compressed/cached X forwarding. Maybe it's just an issue with not using a good VNC viewer though.

NX only supports X11 and this lets it get away with a lot of vicious X11-specific optimizations. VNC is not X-specific, which gives it more flexibility at the cost of not being able to optimize as aggressively.

Open something in NX that makes heavy use of "hand-drawn" image buffers and the like (ie, stuff that has to be transmitted as actual images rather than compressed X11 protocol traffic) and you'll see performance drop to around that of VNC, if not worse.

Yeah, even with -C and on a LAN that can have really sad performance depending on what you're doing. Also, NX gets you screen-style detach/attach.

I'm going to be deploying a web application over the next month. At the moment I've been using an Ubuntu Server, because what I've been used to on my desktop is Ubuntu and more recently Arch Linux.

That said, I'd like to make sure I'm deploying on a distro suited for the job, not anticipating heavy lead off the bat but you never know. I'm not adverse to getting used to a new distro if there's one more suitable to server use. I'm using Linode for the moment, and the web app is a python app using Django, if that affects my choices.

Most startup-type people like Ubuntu, and most enterprise-type people like RHEL/CentOS. Ubuntu's Python lib packages are way more up-to-date than what's in EPEL if that's your thing, but if you're just going to be using distribute/bootstrap/whatever anyway then it really doesn't matter much.

My advice is to use what you and anyone else who has to maintain it are familiar with. The only exception would be something that doesn't offer some kind of paid support if you really get in a jam, which means don't pick something like Gentoo or Slackware. Even if you never need the support, having it as an option is worth it.

All the web servers I run at my work are Ubuntu Server Edition. It's been great for us, super stable, and easy to maintain. There's definitely nothing wrong with running it in a production environment. If you do go with Ubuntu Server, stick to the LTS editions. (Every 2 years they do an LTS release, that gets 5 years of security updates)

Lysidas: Jul 26, 2002; John Diefenbaker is a madman who thinks he's John Diefenbaker.

It's much more likely that Ubuntu 8.04 hasn't received any kernel updates in at least that long. 4 years into an LTS cycle is quite a while.

As I understand it, LTS releases get security updates for 5 years but updated kernels (to support new hardware) for only 2 years. After that, it's reasonable to expect you to use the next LTS version. If it's new hardware you'll almost certainly do a fresh install and it makes more sense to use a newer distribution since there aren't any potential issues from upgrading in place.

Didn't see a relevant bug, but also didn't sort through the 1000-long "normal" bug list. Probably a virtualbox thing. If seamless mouse stuff is enabled, see if disabling it fixes the problem. Maybe it's moving the cursor in strange ways on transition?

Didn't see a relevant bug, but also didn't sort through the 1000-long "normal" bug list. Probably a virtualbox thing. If seamless mouse stuff is enabled, see if disabling it fixes the problem. Maybe it's moving the cursor in strange ways on transition?

I'll try the mouse thing in a couple hours. I wouldn't think it's that because it happens when I keep the mouse completely within the VM or when I'm in full-screen. We'll see...

VirtualBox settings has an "Enable absolute pointing device" option that I disabled and that fixed it, I think.

It's been half a decade since I messed around with virtual machines. They're pretty good now! I can enable full-screen mode and I pretty much can't tell I'm running an OS in a VM.

edit: OK, nevermind...still not fixed. VBox doesn't have a specific "disable mouse integration" option as far as I can tell.

I've found that every few clicks it thinks I'm clicking at the top of the screen instead of wherever I'm actually clicking.

Plug in a second mouse and use USB passthrough.

Is the "disable mouse integration" option under Machine good enough?

Oops, I missed that.

Unfortunately, when I do that I don't have a mouse cursor.

I just installed Arch and Gnome 3 in Virtualbox.

Problem: When I'm moving the mouse around the overview mode randomly comes up. Sometimes it stays up, sometimes it comes up for one second and then goes back to the application I was using.

I made sure my Win key and Alt-F1 weren't stuck somehow...

Any ideas on how to fix this?

This is stupid, and almost certainly not the problem, but since you didn't mention it, I will throw out this obligatory "you're not mousing to the upper left hot-corner, right?" The reason I ask is, I've used an extension to disable it on my main computer for so long that I was surprised and confused when it popped up on my laptop.
