Ubuntu Yum repository missing

Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS

Trying to add a plugin for Nagios 4.3.4 core

https://github.com/op5/check_vmware_api

Part of the instructions are to run this

root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# sudo yum install openssl-devel perl-Archive-Zip perl-Class-MethodMaker uuid-perl perl-SOAP-Lite perl-XML-SAX perl-XML-NamespaceSupport  perl-XML-LibXML perl-MIME-Lite perl-MIME-Types perl-MailTools perl-TimeDate uuid libuuid perl-Data-Dump perl-uuid libuuid perl-Data-Dump perl-UUID cpan libxml2-devel perl-libwww-perl perl-Test-MockObject perl-Test-Simple perl-Monitoring-Plugin perl-Class-Accessor perl-Config-Tiny
There are no enabled repos.
 Run "yum repolist all" to see the repos you have.
 You can enable repos with yum-config-manager --enable <repo>
root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# yum repolist all
repolist: 0
root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec#

Open in new window

I ran this

root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# yum-config-manager --enable Universe
root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# yum-config-manager --enable Main
root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# yum-config-manager --enable Restricted
root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# yum-config-manager --enable Multiverse

Open in new window

I do not which repository this is looking for

root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# yum repolist all
repolist: 0
root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/libexec#

Open in new window

Any ideas?

Thank you

AWS Design help

AWS Design help

I have a Ubuntu server (basically a LAMP stack) hosted on Linode. There's a PHP script that gets heavy usage that I'd like to move to AWS (along with the DB it uses).

I was thinking of putting the PHP Script on AWS Elastic beanstalk and having it connect to an Aurora auto scaling MYSQL database. Most of the PHP script does read operations with the exception of a call to increment a hit counter.

How do I go about keeping the master database (on linode) and the AWS RDS Aurora database in Sync so I can offload the heavily-used PHP script

Or am I completely going about this the wrong way .. please advise

force ubuntu/debian netinstall to use a specific variant of debian-installer

i've run into various changing bugs with the udeb distribution.
over the time, the ubuntu maintainers change stuff and in the end there is no way to get something reliable.
installs became sluggish since a kernel hange in january, now thy switched to a new version of glibc ( 2.23-0ubuntu11 with the introduction of known bugs dating from years ago ) which breaks the installer by producing segfaults.

does any of you know a way to use an older version of udeb in preseed ?

i know i can setup my own debian mirror, but i'd need to mirror both the udeb and the deb part. i'm ok to mirror udeb alone if that is feasible but AFAIK preseed only offers a single choice for package sources. maybe there is a way to use local files i can grab on an older ISO for udeb only ?

ideas ?

btw, i'm installing ubuntu-xenial should that matter.
yes i know it is outdated. no i do not currently have a choice in this case. please do not discuss that point.

thanks for your help

In Ubuntu 16.04LTS I'm suddenly unable to update apt from the previous to current version using either apt or dpkg.

Hi Experts,

I get a bad gateway when running the web application from docker.

I had installed nginx inside the docker container.

for eg,

docker gateway is 1.2.3.4

public ip is 4.3.2.1

I create the environment for the docker container

declare -a ntdl_environment=( -e ES_CONNECTION=1.2.3.4:9200 -e DATABASE=postgres://user:****@1.2.3.4/ntdl -e LOCAL_URL_PREFIX==https://ntest-dev.s3.amazonaws.com -e IIIF_SERVER=http://4.3.2.1/iiif -e FACEBOOK_APP_ID=000000 -e CLOUD_WATCH=true -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=akz44 -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=******** -e AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=ap-abct-2 -e S3_BUCKET=abc-test-dev -e GENERIC_SERVER_NAME=http://4.3.2.1 -e SEARCH_PATH=/ -e SEARCH_DOMAIN=http://4.3.2.1 -e HANDLE_SITEMAP_PATH=https://s3-test.amazonaws.com/ntest/sitemap/sitemap.txt.gz -e DEBUG=true)

Open in new window

I had run the following commands to run the docker container

docker run --name ntdl -d --restart always ${ntdl_environment[@]} f27af16c9ed6

to go inside bash shell for the docker container i had run the follow command from command prompt

docker exec -it ntdl /bin/bash

when I run gateway ip for elasticsearch it is running fine inside docker
I get the following results it is working fine

root@16a1d7df5399:/home/ntdl/code# curl -XGET 1.2.3.4:9200

I had checked nginx status inside docker it is working fine.

We are on the floor of a convention and trying to connect our linux machine to our Android hot spot. There are too many WiFi hotspots and we cannot find the one from our phone.

QUESTION
On our Linux machine, how to find the hotspot that is being generated by our Android phone? Is there a way to search for the specific hotspot name? Is there a way to turn off the other 100 or more hotspots that are filling up the queue?

I need to copy a file from one Ubuntu server to another.

They are two servers in the same AWS VPC and are in the same Public Subnet. They are both running Ubuntu (Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, respectively).

I've opened up the Security Group for BOTH Server using Port 22. I also confirmed that openSSH is running by using this command "ps -A | grep sshd" and seeing process ID's.

I created a Text file for testing.

Here's the command I used to copy between servers:

scp ubuntu@**.*.**.***:/usr/local/thomtesttext.txt ubuntu@**.*.**.***:/usr/local/testtext.txt

Open in new window

This is the error I'm seeing:

ssh: connect to host **.*.**.*** port 22: Connection timed out

Open in new window

What am I doing wrong? How can I get an AWS Ubuntu Server to copy files between them?

Thanks for your help!

Have 2 ubuntu installations on Oracle VM. They are in the same version. I ran the same python script against its own ubuntu in the exactly same way. Ran well on one, but got the error on the other one below:
"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'x'".
I knew the one without error was installed more packages, but I did not remember which more packages were installed. Under this condition, how to troubleshoot this issue? Can any gurus shed some light to it? Thanks a lot.
Background:
ubuntu 18.04 on VirtualBox V5.2.22 in Windows 7 (2 Ubuntus installed on the same box).

I need to backup a Ubuntu 18.04 server. I use Storage Craft for all backups but they do not have anything that can backup that version of Linux. I need to find a product that can backup that server.

I am not a Linux tech so I would prefer something where I can install the backup agent on Linux and manage it from a Windows server. I also want it to backup the entire image of the server so I can restore it if necessary.

Can someone recommend a good product for that. Preferable one that is not expensive

I'm a IT / Music Composition double major.

I am running Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS in Amazon Web Services with an Elastic IP and an inbound connection for my Static IP.

I need to simply copy files from Ubuntu (Ubuntu 14.04.5) to my local mac (running OS 10.14.2) and then copy them back, both using a Terminal window and SSH.

I've tried scp, but can't seem to get the command correct as the error I'm getting is:

"ssh: connect to host **.*.**.*.** port 22: Connection timed out" (This IP is the Elastic IP).

What am I doing wrong? Help! Thanks in advance. :-)

Hello there,

I want to restart my java application which is running on Ubuntu 16.04 as service. But the problem I have is on Ubuntu when I want to restart my java application service, I do as follows

sudo service myapp restart

Open in new window

and then Ubuntu asks for password. Now how can I tell Ubuntu to not ask password when I send this cmd from my application.

//Restart application server
		router.get("/restartAppService").handler(ctx -> {
			/* Build command: sudo service AooService stop */
			  final ArrayList<String> command = new ArrayList<String>();
			  command.add("sudo service TutisService restart");
			  System.out.println("CMD ----"+command.toString());
			  final ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder(command);
			  	try {
			  		builder.start();
				} catch (IOException e) {
					System.out.println("EXCEPTION WHILE RESTARTING SERVICE----"+e.getMessage());
					e.printStackTrace();
				}
			  //System.exit(0);
		});

I'm looking to use apt-get for Ubuntu and yum for Centos to do the following as root:

1) Ubuntu: apt-get update ; apt-get -d dist-upgrade
to just download the update items for later install

2) How do I install the previously downloaded files at a different time? I was thinking apt-get -f install but can't tell if t will get all the updates. - my 2 Ubuntu systems are both up to date so I can't test this yet

3) yum for CentOS doesn't seem to have a download only option. This part of the question is not as critical.

Thanks in advance
