Ubuntu Servers :: Building DC With Samba&LDAP On 10.04?
Dec 18, 2010
My scenario is based on Ubuntu server guide, can be found at [URL].. Step 1: I do as chapter 6, install OPENLDAP server, populating LDAP => run ok. Step 2: do as LDAP Authentication section => run ok. Step 3: Install samba => ok. Step 4: do as OpenLDAP Configuration section => there's a problem here: when I run the command:
Quote:
ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,cn=config -W -f /tmp/cn=samba.ldif.I can't login to LDAP server, it said that:
Quote: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
I am sure that the password is correct, but I still receive this message

I've been running my dedicated server on Ubuntu 10.04 for 300 days non-stop so far (touch wood). I'm planning to purchase a dedicated server to host many large sites. The specs are Sandybridge Xeon with 16 bay x 2TB storage using RAID5 (Adaptec RAID 51645).I don't have experience with RAID, but I read that ext4 can only support filesystem up to 16TB, my plan for the system is to have 32TB of storage. How can I make Ubuntu run this configuration?
Also, can Ubuntu 10.04 recognize the Adaptec card? Going through Adaptec website there is no mention of drivers for Ubuntu (although many other distros are available).

I'm looking at building a small NAS setup for my home to hold all my media (DVD's, pictures, music etc..). I'm not too concerned with backups of it at this point as I have all the data elsewhere as it is, but would like one central spot to access it.
A friend of mine turned me on to Ubuntu to do this with but he's never tried it, so I'm looking to see if anyone else has done this or if there issues with it. I've used linux off and on for several years, but this would be my first Ubuntu install.
I'm looking at either using some older hardware I have sitting around, or something cheap like a small dell server (T310 or something). I'd get 4 2TB drives and just use them in a software raid 5 array. It would be accessed with a few different samba shares I'm thinking.

I need some advice or tips or maybe your own experiences about building a home data storage or NAS.Here's some thoughts / requirements I think it should have:It should expandable. I'll stick a couple of 1TB HDDs and a little later I'll stick some moreIt should easily integrated to both Ubuntu and Windows 7. Ideally it'll be an integrated part of the filesystem.I'm thinking some sort of RAID as a backing up my data. RAID 1 seems like a such a waste but then again, these days, HDDs are cheap.And when I do add more HDDs, I'd like them to appear as one big storage unit instead of separate drives.Any suggestions and tips on how to go about this is welcome. Questions are plenty: should I go with server hardware or is bigger ATX case and standard hardware enough? I'll need some pointers so keep 'em coming

was originally looking to setup some kind of NAS in my house due to the fact that me and my wife both access the same music libraby, photo library etc. and was looking at one of the IcyBox enclosures.I realised that whilst this was a quick and possibly easy way to set something up, it wasn't in keeping with the true geek within so decided to look into setting up a full RAID5 file server. This would then allow me to install and setup various other services such as Web and FTP server, Mail server and DNS server should I ever want to.
I have an old machine (Duron 1GHz I think) with 1GB ram but the only problem is that is doesn't have an on board SATA controller so I was wondering what PCI SATA controller cards work with Fedora? Doesn't need to have RAID capabilities since i'll be using Software RAID anyway, just need a nice cheap Fedora friendly controller card that'll do the job.

I don't care so much the practicality and needlessness of actually setting up a computer for proxy server for personal usage, but none-the-less, i want to do it, and i'm just wondering about hardware.The proxy, i don't intend on having a desktop environment, so it'll be a terminal interface.But for a system that will handle traffic for 3 pc's and a ps3, how much hardware would one suggest i need, as far as RAM, HDD space, so on and so forth.
I was thinking it would be fun to do with with my old amd k6-2 processor and it's 32mb of ram, but in order for that pc to work, i'll need to replace a few hardware pieces, and before i dumb money into it and pull it out of the closet, i want to find out if it would even be worth my time to do it.

I have a few mail servers, a mail log server and a web server running on Centos 5. Now I have a task: to avoid accidental crashes on the production servers while installing updates, my boss asked me to do clones (these clones will all be VMware virtual machines) of the servers (EXCLUDING the actual e-mails and log contents) and then to run those clones on VMWare Server. This way, first I will install and test updates on the clones and - if they will be running without crashes - I will apply the updates on the real production servers themselves.
I have already installed VMWare Server 2.0 I have a few questions: How do I build the virtual machines to exclude the actual mail files and mail logs? Can I use VMware Converter for this purpose, or do I have to use another program? How do I actually do this cloning? Is there a tutorial on how to do this?

I am returning to Ubuntu as my primary OS. For this, I am building a new system (I have a beast of a Windows desktop, but retiring that as an HTPC and building a new desktop). Will be moving some items from the Windows desktop like the speakers, keyboard/mouse, monitors, etc, that will not serve with the HTPC configuration. Basically, this is what I am building (amost identical to my current Windows machine, except it's a Core2Quad and has 12GB of RAM):
i7-860
P55 chipset motherboard
8GB of RAM
system/boot volume volume 2x64GB 2nd gen 64GB SSDs in RAID0 (have hardware garbage collection so will run find in RAID)
[code]....
Video Card: with 10.04, should I go with ATI or nVidia for a card? Am running triple monitors, and will be gaming using Cross-Games and Cedega. Which drivers between the two manufacturers is performing the best and would be best for gaming/multiple monitors.
RAID Card: The 2320 says it has native support in the 2.6.25 kernel. I get good speeds (500-600 MB/sec on both the SSDs and the RAID5) and no troubles with it on the Win Desktop. Should I have any issues with it under 10.04 or would there be a suggestion in the <$350 price range to replace it with? Or, would running the ICH10R off the motherboard work with the alternate CD?
SSD Setup: What partitions would be best to keep off the SSD volume and on the RAID5? I know /tmp, /home, /var, and /swap should be kept off the SSDs to reduce the excessive writes. Any other suggestions? With a 128GB system/boot volume, what would you do for partition sizes there?
Sound Card: Is the Omega supported under 10.04? Or another suggestion for good 7.1 surround sound?

I want to be able to create a Dialog (similar to the one for Winetricks, run it without parameters to see it) with a checklist that tells my script to go out and download whatever scripts of mine I've selected. I also wish to make a GUI for some of my more complex scripts, such as my Backup script so I can have a nice looking menu instead of a text based one.Does anybody know a good place to learn how to do this, with lots of explanations and breakdowns of each part of the script?

I'm looking to make a launching script which launches a program in one of the current directories that the user has open, the problem is I have no idea how to get info about all of the terminals open.I simply want to check which directories the user has open and do a pwd on the terminals, and then use that to cd into the dir before launching. I might be able to use a combo of who,tty, top, and pwd...but I don't know where to go.

I am not sure if this is the right section to ask this question (sorry if it isnt). Anyway, I want to build and install 3 different softwares:OpenCV, Player, Stage. These are required for my school projects and research etc. Now, I need to install them in this manner:
Opencv-2.0.0, player-2.1.3 and stage-2.1.1 and Opencv-2.1.0, player-3.0.1 and stage-3.2.2
The reason for this is, these are the sets of versions that talk to each other without problems. And I need the older versions for a project that I'm currently working on and its always nice to have the newest version installed on the system. If its only a single version install, its pretty easy and I can do it.Since I want to install multiple versions of the same software I could use some help. I am not sure whether I can install all of the them in the default directory (/usr/local/). So, I can set up a separate directory on my home folder. But thats as far as I've gotten to. I am particularly concerned whether one version would break another. Is there anything that I can do to avoid this?

Is it possible to build a MacOS X compatible pc using of-the-shelf compoments?
For example, what motherboards are considered compatible (i presume they must have EFI, lol), what sound cards, wifi cards, video cards etc.
Also, why not a start an OS X compatibility topic/list?
It would be very nice, as many people would be able to simply print the list and go shopping (no need to search a billion other sites with ambiguous info) and it would allow many people to get a mac for the price of a pc
PS: Don't start recommending the OSx86 operating system. It's a heavily kluged up OS I do not want. I want the real OS X.

I recently went shopping at newegg for components for a new home server to fulfill multiple needs--chief amongst them to replace an aging old Athlon box which has been running a 4TB software raid for years now So I ordered an ASUS P7P55D-E LX mobo, 8GB DDR2, a core i5 quad-core, and 6 WD "green" 2TB drives (I'm more concerned with capacity than speed). I got it all assembled, using a 500GB 2.5" drive as the boot / host drive, a blu-ray reader, and splitting the 2TB drives amongst the 2 controllers (4 on the remaining ports of the x6 SATA controller and 2 on the x2 SATA-III controller, just not needing the SATA III capabilities). I plan to use Software RAID5 rather than the fakeraid that might be supported by the chipset. This affords maximum portability for the future.
At any rate, I installed 10.10 64-bit (Desktop), let it update, then installed mdadm and set about configuring the RAID5. I decided to use the nifty graphical tool. Last time I did this on my old Fedora box, it was all CLI.All seemed to be going well, and I was letting it fully recover / synchronize before setting up a filesystem (planning on ext4 this time). I kept an eye on it with cat /proc/mdstat.
After 20 hrs (averaging 25MB/sec on the sync...seems a bit slow, but who knows?)...it finishes and the RAID is immediately degraded with one volume (/dev/sdc1) marked as faulty and another volume marked as a spare. I replaced the SATA cables with brand new ones as long ago I ran into an issue like this due to a bad cable. Before trying again I ran the extensive SMART test and a read/write benchmark on each drive. They all checked out fine. So I started over and 20hrs later, same thing.So I shut down and removed the offending drive and started with only 5 drives. Another 19hrs go by and this one turns up /dev/sde1 faulty and another drive marked as a spare. That drive was fine before, and is on a different controller from the one that it was finding as faulty before.
Now I am suspicious that there is a larger underlying issue and that the drives are not bad at all. Should I have just gone with a 32-bit + PAE install? Does the 64-bit have known issues with the software RAID? Should I have just built it using the CLI? Looking online, it seems people are having success with the GUI tool. I don't think it is the GUI tool. Checking with mdadm, it seems everything is being configured right.

I am wanting to build a NAS. There are lots of pre-built NAS boxes out there, but what fun would that be? I have many 8GB USB drives and would want to install Lucid on the drive. I don't mean create a bootable USB flash drive in place of the LiveCD, I mean install the OS to a USB drive and boot the computer using the flash drive. This way the OS would have 8GB of space and could access say a 1TB HDD added to the PC. Once I get the OS installed on the USB drive I would install NFS and Samba. I could then remote into the NAS and make changes if needed. From everything I have read, I would need to not have a swap file on the USB drive as well.

I am wanting to build myself a Linux based firewall and network switch but I am not entirely sure where to start. I would like to point out that I am aware that it would be easier and quicker to just buy a switch and use that, but this is an intellectual exercise.
What I want to do is have a NIC which has the internet coming in. The traffic is then passed through the firewall program (I think IP tables is what I should be using?).
Now my main issue is that I will have quite a few Network Interfaces to manage. The machine could easily assign IPs by DHCP and act as the DNS server but what would I need to use to share the internet connection to all the NICs? There will be at least 4 interfaces, but possibly up to 12.

I currently have a 2TB qnap nas which will be relegated to mirroring important files from my new nas. I am building up a HP Microserver with 2*2TB and want to look at the best way to manage the data, disks and backups.
My wish list: Power down unused drives
I want all the disks to appear as one.
I want to be able to easily add an extra drive and add to the available space
I want to be able to replace a disk with a larger one and add to the available space (It's ok if I have to manually copy the data from the old drive to the new drive)
If a disk dies I want the remaining disks to still function with whatever data they have left on them.
Email me if a drive dies
If the server blows up then I can plug any drive from the server into another pc and copy the available data off the disk
Mhddfs - anyone use this much? What's the speed like? Do individual drives get spun down if not used? How is it decided which drive gets the data? No one talks about mhddfs much. It all seems to be about mdadm and raid and LVM which I don't think is suitable for my current purpose. I have a existing qnap nas with a total of 2tb that will rsync changed files from the server nightly. To restore missing files would I use rsync in reverse?

So far my experience with Ubuntu has been using it in Virtual-Box and as a Live CD and Live-USB. I currently have laying around a CPU/GPU/PSU so i bought the rest missing to build a new computer. I got two hard drives (640gig for Win 7 & 80 gig for Ubuntu). I have been told on [H]ardForum . com to use WUBI. That its not necessarily great for long term usage, but its best to use WUBI, get the hang of Ubuntu and dual booting and all that...and then eventually to try a more permanent solution.
For now i am curious is there anything i should know before I start? I bought Win7 64bit so i want to use Ubuntu 64 bit as well correct?
Are using WUBI and going into the Boot-Menu and starting using the 80gig HDD with Ubuntu on it, two different options? If so which is better in your opinion?
Btw to install WUBI , do i install windows, put in the CD and click install WUBI which auto pops up, and follow directions and just make sure to have it install Ubuntu 10.04 64bit on the 80gig hard drive?
One last thing, i have seen screen caps of a menu (that looks like a boot menu before you enter your OS) that has options like "use memtest to test your memory" and "Check Ubuntu CD for errors" ....how do i get to that? I would really like to be able to do both of those things.

Im trying to build ffmepg with shared lib under ubuntu 8.04 hardy. Im was following these instructions :
>> Install FFmpeg and x264 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS <<
But it was not for shared library. So in the part 7. I added "--enable-shared" to the "configure" command but when I compile ("make") I ve got an error:
"
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libopencore-amrnb.a(wrapper.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libopencore-amrnb.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
[code]...
I read another thread saying how to resolve this error :
>> trouble with ffmpeg and shared libs <<
but its still make the error when i follow these instructions...
I decided to add "--enable-pic" flag to "configure" but the error still happen.
