I was using an iomega SAN device which worked perfectly for Time Machine
which worked great until I added a second drive. The SAN kept thinking
there was a problem with my second drive in RAID1. And since the iomega
needs to erase both drives to get RAID1 back, it's not a great situation.
So I've been trying to get my FreeNAS 8.3.1 server to work with Time
Machine on my Macs. The web UI makes it seem like it's point-and-click. But
the unRTFM method doesn't seem to work. So I followed a few different
howtos on the web with little more luck. I can make Samba/CIFS shares that
show up in Finder. But nothing shows up in Time Machine.

I don't really have any data on FreeNAS yet. I've migrated everything to an
external 4TB drive while I get this squared away. And I wouldn't mind being
able to run other stuff on my NAS box. It's a Core i5-2500K with 32GB of
RAM - way overkill for just FreeNAS and FreeNAS isn't delivering on
ease-of-use.

Dipping a toe in the waters, I decided to try setting up netatalk and avahi
on my Ubuntu 12.10 workstation. I followed this guide online:

http://d43.me/blog/1660/concisest-guide-to-setting-up-time-machine-server-on-ubuntu-server-12-04/

I created a /opt/tardis directory that I chmod'd 777 since I wasn't given
clear instructions on how to set permissions. The share shows up in Time
Machine but when I try to connect, I get an error on the Mac and then the
afp daemon crashes on Ubuntu.

Anyone else have any luck with this?

P.S. Yes, I made a post to CHUGALUG that involves three different flavors
of Unix! How's that for on-topic.

Hello Chugalugers!

Ive got a current install of Graylog2 on Ubuntu 12.04 and im trying to get
all my logs centralized in graylog2.

I am not seeing all the logs in graylog2, specifically from postfix.

the rsyslog file on the postfix server looks correct to me, but its not
sending postfix logs to graylog2.

From what i read if i put "*.* @syslog-server" in the conf file it should
forward all logs to whatever server i want and defaults to port 514 udp.  I
get cron and sshd logs but nothing from postfix.

rsyslog.conf snippet:

#### RULES ####

*.*                                                     @syslog-server

# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
#kern.*                                                 /dev/console

# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none                /var/log/messages

# The authpriv file has restricted access.
authpriv.*                                              /var/log/secure

# Log all the mail messages in one place.
mail.*                                                  /var/log/maillog

# Log cron stuff
cron.*                                                  /var/log/cron

# Everybody gets emergency messages
*.emerg                                                 *

# Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file.
uucp,news.crit                                          /var/log/spooler

# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.*                                                /var/log/boot.log

There was a minus sign in front of /var/log/maillog and i thought that
might be causing it, so i took it out and it had no effect.

Anyone have any ideas what i could be doing wrong? Everything looks correct
to me from what ive found on google.

Thanks for the help.

Has anyone seen a decline in the quality and reliability of Ubuntu in the
past few releases? I loved it for a long time and used 12.04 for a long
time. I ended up somehow screwing up that install, corrupting the OS, and
didn't take the time to repair it for a long time (just running off Windows
for my day-to-day desktop stuff).

Then as soon as I installed 12.14, it crashed numerous times within a short
while, so I just gave up on it and went back to Windows.

Tonight, I just installed 13.04, and not more than 20 minutes later it
crashed again.

If it crashes 1 more time, then I'm dumping Ubuntu once and for all, and
I'm moving on to something else. I've never been a fan of Ubuntu on servers
(but used to be a big fan of Ubuntu for desktops until I started having all
these issues).

I have no use for it if it can't run reliably on a standard 64-bit Intel
(Asus).

That said, if I decide to drop Ubuntu, what do you guys like to run as your
OS for desktop day-to-day computing?

Let the Distro Wars begin...

So I am warming up to my Galaxy Note 2 quite a bit.

I wanted to transfer some video files from my Ubuntu server in the basement, to avoid some of the boredom while shopping this afternoon.  I grab a usb sync cord and my phone and go plug it up to my Ubuntu 12.04 Server.

Imagine my surprise/disappointment/frustration/chagrin when I plug it up and it mounts up a couple of useless av/player icons that will not allow me to just drag and drop my damned .avi files into my SD card. Why would I expect it to work that way? Well because on my Mac's and on my PC's that is exactly what I do, and it is in my mind one of the single greatest advantages over iOS... the ability to drag and drom ANY type of file into my phones storage without frakin around with/thru iTunes or some 3rd party widget.

Yes I googled HOW to fix this GLARING omission in uBuntu, I simply can't get my brain wrapped around HOW/WHY two LINUX devices won't interact as nicely as plugging up to a NON-LINUX device.

Never tried plugging an iPhone up to my Ubuntu box... bet it just "works"

Sheesh, for Christ's sake Canonical, how about tending to some really simple shit like this? Or do I have to wait for the "never gonna ship" Ubuntu Phone?

On topic woot! I was just going to talk about what I just finished setting

Thanks to Aaron, I got a Pogoplug at the last swap meet. Now I like to have
a home computer that I can log into via ssh to get to files and what not
that I need. Also I like to have a web server for testing as well as
sending large files.

So I have had my main desktop running 24/7. This worked fine but the amount
of power it uses is more than I would like.

I setup Arch Linux on the pogo plug and setup apache and a few other
servers. I did not have and extra usb hard drive that could hold my data
that I needed access to from time to time.

So I setup wake on lan on the desktop and a script with the MAC address on
the Pogoplug.
Now I can ssh into the Pogoplug, wake up the desktop and ssh over to it.

Nothing amazing, but I think the power saving is nice. And all possible
through Linux and open source.

What fun little projects has everyone else been doing with Linux recently?

Ok, here's a strange little thing I'm trying to figure out.  Will have my
ubuntu notebook running a media event showing a presentation with imbedded
video via a projector and also need Mixx running on my notebook screen for
some music mixing.  Looks like if I'm running mixx in Auto DJ mode on one
screen the video stops displaying via the projector.  The slideshow still
works just no video or audio imbedded.  Some strange config I haven't found
yet?  If I quit Mixx, all works in impress

I was going to give Bodhi a shot because i really love enlightenment but
could never get it installed.

Ive tried every combination i could think of on the install boot menu,
disabled all i could in the bios, turned boot mode to legacy, etc.

Kept hanging at "Preparing to install Bodhi...." would just get an hour
glass and no disk activity.
Also tried installing from bootable usb stick instead of cd, same result.

I popped in a 12.10 ubuntu cd and installed flawlessly.
Seems odd that Bodhi being based on ubuntu doesnt work for me.

Too bad there is no text based installer. I would really like to use Bodhi.

Im using an IBM ThinkCentre PC (4480-B1U)

Couldnt really find anything on google with my exact problem with any kind
of decent fix.
From what i saw the people having this problem were using a usb cdrom,
which is not the case for me.

Anyone run into anything like this before?

Been on a road trip for two days. Light computer usage so I tried to take 
a Mac Pro that can dual-boot into Linux (Bodhi/Ubuntu) and use it.

I found myself really missing: Page Up / Page Down and Print Screen.

Print Screen especially as I needed some screen captures.

Are there sane work arounds? Magic key cominations?
Or has Apple just decided we don't need those keys any more?

The usual way to run a kiosk-station is to configure a user-name (often =
password-free, often always-logged-on by default) which runs the kiosk =
application directly as its "shell."  Thus, when that user logs-on, the =
kiosk is running; when the kiosk program ends for any reason, the user =
is now by definition logged-off.  Or, if you want a GUI, select a =
window-manager such as Matchbox which is designed for this purpose.

Hi all,

As part of our 3D printing service we are offering at the library, with
thanks to some help from James and Bill of Engage 3D, we now have 4
formerly retired and discarded computers running Ubuntu.  The plan is to
have those running as Tinkercad stations, but Tinkercad is going away
(lame) so we'll use something else.  Obviously we can do a lot more than
just this with these machines.

I know there are some Linux based kiosk systems out there; setups that
allow people to schedule reservations of computers.  We don't yet have the
demand that we need something like this, but I'm hoping as we expand hours
and services on The 4th Floor this will really grow into a public computer
lab running all open source goodies.

I've got a machine that could be tasked as the 'computer signup station'.
 Does anyone on this list want to give this project a shot?  We'd love to
have you.

Nate

I'M trying to learn a little php but my learning as been halted by some str=
ange behavior when executing my html/php files. Within my html documents I =
am attaching them to php files via:=20

When the html file executes the form=2C the browser downloads the somefile.=
php file as if I were a picture or song I was downloading from a website ra=
ther than executing and displaying the php page in the browser. Executing p=
hpinfo() from the browser via 'localhost/phptest.php' is working just fine.=
 This problem is only occurring when a php script is called to be executed =
from an html file within the browser. Also note that I have tried this in t=
wo browsers with the same result.

I've removed php5 and apache2 and re-installed both of them and I'M still g=
etting the same result.

Here's the info from /var/log/apache2/error.log

[Thu Feb 28 12:45:35 2013] [notice] Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.3.10-1ubun=
tu3.5 with Suhosin-Patch configured -- resuming normal operations

Any ideas. I've hit a brick wall here and I can't continue my php book unti=
l I get this resolved.

I tried to run ./configure on a small program that the Linux book I'M =0A=
reading instructed me to download and I got the error "no acceptable C =0A=
compiler found in $PATH" I then tried to run apt-get install gcc=2C but =0A=
then I got "unable to locate package gcc".  After running apt-get install g=
cc-4.6-base I got "gcc-4.6-base is already the newest version.".
This is Ubuntu server and the $PATH is:

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

Any ideas?

Hello Chugalugans,

My name is Tim and I've a fairly recent transplant from Memphis (less than
3 years ago). I run Ubuntu on my desktop at home and have a Windows /
Ubuntu dual boot setup on one of my computers at work. I'm pretty new to
linux but am always looking to learn more. I guess the other thing that may
be of interest to this group is my involvement with a local civic hacking
group called Open Chattanooga. If you are interested in hearing more about
our work check out the links below and join our Google Group. Take care.
