Server: tucker

This is a Dell Dimension 8250

I added ssh access to the server by configuring the firewall to route port 21 traffic to tucker.

How to protect images from malicious linking:

9/3/05

Tried to get X-windows to work, but keyboard and mouse were dead. Eventually figured out they wouldn't work with the kvm switch (is there a pattern here?). Plugged a separate keyboard and mouse in and X-windows worked fine.

Looks like the kvm switch is a problem?

Had to reboot. Got stuck again at end of progress bar in bios boot. Eventually figured out the bios doesn't like the kvm keyboard. If you unplug the keyboard from back of computer till you pass through the bios boot, then replug it in quickly so linux finds it, then all is well.

Reshuffled hd partitions:

  • Moved /usr from hdb to hda5 (root partition).
  • Converted hdb to one big ext3 partition using
    • fdisk to wipe the 2 old partitions and create a single partition.
    • mke3fs -j /dev/hdb1 then added the single partition.
  • recorded partition layout on spreadsheet.

Lightening strike. tucker got stuck in bios boot when rebooted. After several attempts, finally got through bios and rebooted uneventfully.

7/23/05

  • Replaced failed hard drive with new 250 Gb drive.
  • Net-install debian stable.
  • used scp to copy /var/www and /etc/apache2 and other files from the old kukla installation
  • used scp to copy mysql backup from kukla
  • tested various websites.
  • pointed web redirect in rc.firewall.s6 to tucker.
