Tuesday, September 21st, 2010 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Due to issues,

We are moving to MUMBLE! yah!

So lets answer some questions,

1) What is Mumble?

Mumble is a Ventrilo Replacment that is really fast. I kid you not really really fast. So when you ask for that heal in wow. Your healer will get that off in time instead of resurrecting your dead corpse. Need proof?

2)How can I get it?

http://mumble.sourceforge.net/

Where it says “Get Mumble” select your OS.

3)How can I install it.

Follow the steps. For window users it will install 2 programs Mumble/Mumur.

You want to run Mumble.

4) How to configure.

Follow the audio setup wizard it’s awesome trust me just do it.

When you get to the server setup it’s as follows.

Servername: (What ever you want)

Address: mumble.KickAssNetwork.net

Port: 64738 (should already be in there)

Username: (Whatever you want)

If you need help ask someone in mumble. Report all problems to me otherwise.

5) HELP! Wheres the Push-to-Talk!

Go to Configure -> Audio Input -> Transmit -> Push to Talk

To set your key binding go to Shortcut then click to the right of “Push-to-Talk” Under the Shortcut button (Where the old bind is) Then Click the key you want to set the bind too.

6)HELP! It lowers the volume of my other programs when someone is talking.

Ok for this, first ask yourself are you one of those people who can’t hear anything cause theres always explosions in what ever game you are playing. If you are you might just want to change the amount it lowers down the volume. If not then you can turn it off entirely.

For this go to Configure -> Setting

Select on the bottom right “Advance Settings”

Go to Audio Output -> Attenuate Application by…

Use the slider to change how low it drops the volume or uncheck “While other users talk” to turn it off.

7) HELP people are Spamming in Chat!!!!

For this go to Configure -> Setting

Select on the bottom right “Advance Settings”

Then go to Messages

You can select/unselect and change the audio file for everything here.

Part 3 – Secure and Update your installation.

We are now going to secure and update your server through webmin. Also we are going to add a firewall.

  1. Login to your server from another browser https://[hostname/ipaddress]:10000 (by default only SSL is supported, also you will probable get a message to accept the certificate.)
  2. We are first going to update all the packages installed. Go to System -> Software Package Updates -> Scroll down and select Select all -> then Update Selected Packages.
  3. Click Install Now. You can now watch as it updates.
  4. Now it’s time to restrict who can access webmin. Go to Webmin -> Webmin Configuration -> IP Access Control
  5. Change the setting to “Only allow from listed addresses”. In the box put in your IP addresses you will be managing the server from. Here I have my local LAN and using no-ip’s dynamic DNS server I have a laptop that will allow me to manage the server from outside the network (My laptop will update that DNS address and my server will grab the latest address when I login to verify). If you are using a system like mines (Dynamic DNS) you would also want “Resolve hostnames on every request?” enabled. Then Click Save.
  6. Now that Webmin is secure let’s now add a firewall. Go to Network -> Linux Firewall -> Then select “Allow all traffic”, Checkmark “Enable firewall at boot time?”, and Finally Setup Firewall.
  7. This will enable the firewall. Now it’s time to make some rules. First under “Incoming packets (INPUT)” click Add Rule.
  8. The first rule is for Webmin Then make another one for the Web Server. You will need to do something like this.
    Rule Comment: “Webmin”
    Action to take: “Accept”
    Network protocol: “Equals” “TCP”
    Destination TCP or UDP port: “Equals” “Port(s) 10000″

    Rule Comment: “Web Server”
    Action to take: “Accept”
    Network Protocol: “Equals” “TCP”
    Destination TCP or UDP Port “Equals” “Port(s) 80″

  9. Repeat 7-8 for other ports you will need like Port 80 for the web. Then change the default action for “Incoming Packets (INPUT)” to “Drop” and Click “Set Default Action To:”
  10. Click Apply Configuration at the bottom. If you did everything right you should not be clicked out of your server. We are also done, continue on to configure install the LAMP components.

Part 2 – Webmin Installation.

Next step is we are going to configure management tools. I personally like webmin to manage my servers. It’s easy, effective, and secure.

  1. Login to your Ubuntu system.
  2. We’re going to have to prepare a bit before we can actually start downloading Webmin. First type in “sudo apt-get update”. This will prompt you for your password again enter and continue on.
  3. After it updates run “sudo apt-get install apt-show-versions perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libapt-pkg-perl” to download the dependencies.
  4. Grab the file online using “wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.510-2_all.deb” or check out their website.
  5. Install the package using the command “sudo dpkg –I webmin_1.510-2_all.deb”
  6. Now that it is all setup, it’s time to check it out. From another computer on the same network go to https://[IPaddress or hostname]:10000. You’ll get an error like this to which you just need to click continue to this website (IE) or I understand the risks -> Add Exception… (Firefox)
  7. Login and you are done installing Webmin.

The Complete Illustrated Step by Step Guide to Creating an Ubuntu LAMP Server Part 1.

Part 1 – Basic Linux Installation.

Hello, I’m going to go over how to create a basic LAMP server, a Backup plan for that LAMP server and some basic guide to maintain the server.
First step is we are going to use Ubuntu as the Linux distro, specifically the Ubuntu Server edition. It can be found here, http://www.ubuntu.com/server/get-ubuntu/download. So burn the iso and pop it in. Screenshots are on the bottom.

  1. Going through all the menus first you have the Language Selection
  2. Main Menu, Choose Install Ubuntu Server
  3. Another Language Selection Screen
  4. Region Selection,
  5. Keyboard selection screen (you can do automatic and follow the prompts, I just choose US keyboard as I know my own keyboard).
  6. Here you can enter the hostname. I personally used something I can remember anything works but it’s nice if it’s something meaningful so you can easily identify the computer on the network.
  7. Check the timezone.
  8. How you would like to partition the disk. I picked Guided – with LVM.
  9. Select the disk,
  10. Agree to the changes,
  11. I’ll let LVM handle any volumes I’ll make so I don’t need to split up the partition. As such I just let it use max
  12. I agree to write changes again,
  13. › Continue reading

KickAssNetwork’s Logo Contest

Monday, March 2nd, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments

Heres the deal, I’m looking for a new logo instead of Sion from Melty Blood thats currently on the top right. the new logo has to be a Original Character that has a Full size version (non-chibi) and a small Mini version such as the one that is currently up. The character type I’m looking for is someone who represents Networking and computers in some way. Kinda like how Miku Hatsune is design. Another good reference is Sion (the current character) from Melty Blood. You can abstractly say that she networks people together via etherlight. And she does have 7 processing threads to mentally go through commands. Also something purple but not required. A dark green is also good. To recap

  • A computer/network themed character
  • The Draft requires a full size and a small size version
  • A Dark green or the current purple base color is preferred.
  • A small Bios about the inspiration of your character
  • If I like it I’ll sign your name at the bottom of the pages, link to your site, give you $30 dollars. w/ possible commissions later on.
