[02:42] <hazmat> i have a server that seems to be flaking out an update...
[02:42] <hazmat> it was giving this error message W: Couldn't stat source package list http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
[02:43] <hazmat> i've copied over that file from another server which operates fine.. however now apt-get update .. returns Get:4 http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/main Packages [769kB] 
[02:43] <hazmat> 99% [4 Packages gzip 0] 
[02:43] <hazmat> gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
[02:43] <hazmat> Err http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/main Packages
[02:43] <hazmat>   Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)

[02:43] <hazmat> Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[02:43] <hazmat> Reading package lists... Done
[02:43] <hazmat> E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[02:44] <hazmat> never mind.. removing main from the sources.list, running apt-update.. and then adding it back in.. seems to have fixed the problem
[10:00] <pfp> hi, all
[10:01] <pfp> after some hours of semi-fruitful googling... what's the status on SATA and hot-plugging?
[02:19] <ealden> MarioMeyer_: ping
[02:54] <MarioMeyer_> pong
[03:21] <irvin> MarioMeyer_, you still there?
[03:21] <MarioMeyer_> yep
[03:21] <MarioMeyer_> but leaving
[03:22] <irvin> one quick question: there's no mysqli compiled with php5?
[03:22] <MarioMeyer_> whats the OS?
[03:23] <irvin> breezy. i've got php5-mysql installed, php5-cgi, and lighttpd
[03:23] <MarioMeyer_> irvin, then u gotta use dotdeb.org repositories
[03:23] <MarioMeyer_> ;P
[03:23] <MarioMeyer_> it hasnt been added to breezy yet.. maybe dapper..
[03:24] <irvin> umm... i see... i've got it running on windows though :-P, but how do you administer the feeds?
[03:25] <MarioMeyer_> via mysql
[03:25] <MarioMeyer_> just add them to the authors table
[03:27] <irvin> i'll try playing with it and see if i can use flat files instead. thanks a bunch!
[04:40] <Xoritor> i think i may bite the bullet and install ubuntu on the server
[04:41] <Xoritor> not that its going to be bad, just that its going to take some time... time i will be down etc...
[04:42] <Xoritor> any suggestions, tips, hints, or tricks anyone can offer?
[04:42] <Xoritor> its my home server that will be doing httpd (apache2), maybe squid, and possibly some other things
[04:43] <Xoritor> i am thinking maybe nagios (2x
[04:43] <Xoritor> )
[04:43] <Xoritor> but since thats not in the repo.... ill get it from cvs
[04:44] <Xoritor> anyone have a good snort -> iptables interface?  or any recommendations on a "small" iptables script?
[04:44] <Xoritor> i may just write my own
[04:44] <Xoritor> i am fairly good with iptables
[04:44] <Xoritor> not a guru or anything ;-)
[04:58] <MikeN> anyone an idea why, by default, my breezy /etc/aliases only contained the "root: user" alias and no postmaster etc.?
[05:00] <Xoritor> MikeN, thats odd... i didnt even see that
[05:01] <Xoritor> MikeN, thank you for pointing that out
[05:01] <MikeN> np, i think it falls in the category "bug", doesn't it?
[05:02] <Xoritor> i would say so yes
[05:02] <Xoritor> but i am new... so i dunno
[05:02] <MikeN> hehe
[05:02] <Xoritor> it sure does break the way MTAs work though
[05:02] <Xoritor> especially postfix
[05:02] <Xoritor> and anything else that sends to postmaster@
[05:03] <Xoritor> or any other thing
[05:03] <Xoritor> MikeN, have you been running ubuntu on servers for long?
[05:03] <MikeN> nop, some weeks now
[05:04] <Xoritor> hmm
[05:04] <Xoritor> i have not yet installed it on my server
[05:04] <Xoritor> any tips?
[05:04] <MikeN> have it on 1 dev/toy server now and 1 production server, will see how it works out, can't get that bad i think, other servers are running gentoo :p
[05:04] <Xoritor> that /etc/aliases will definately help me
[05:04] <Xoritor> heh
[05:04] <Xoritor> i ran that for a wile
[05:05] <Xoritor> and FC
[05:05] <Xoritor> and RHEL
[05:05] <Xoritor> and...
[05:05] <Xoritor> and...
[05:05] <Xoritor> gotta know how they all work
[05:05] <Xoritor> ;-)
[05:06] <MikeN> hehe, well, i'm not such a fan of rpm based distro's, always like debian, but with debian you never know when an update will be released, kinda annoying
[05:08] <Xoritor> right
[05:09] <Xoritor> i worked for Red Hat for 3 years, so i am much more famiilar with rpm based distros
[05:09] <Xoritor> but i do like .debs
[05:09] <Xoritor> and i like them more and more as i go on
[05:09] <Xoritor> easier...
[05:09] <Xoritor> cleaner
[05:09] <Xoritor> faster
[05:09] <Xoritor> etc...
[06:41] <nsilva> I am looking for a backup utility similar to FreeBSD's dump
[06:41] <nsilva> is there something used on Ubuntu systems that can do incremental backups from the command-line?
[06:45] <morrow> apt-get install dump
[06:47] <nsilva> okay no prob... since that is in universe i thought maybe there was an equivalent command that was built-in or in the main repository
[06:48] <morrow> well not that i know of, but i was used to dump/restore before so i didn't looked for anything else. :)
[06:49] <nsilva> thanks! :-)
[10:58] <pivi> big questione, why ubuntu server com with default useless package? (alsa, for example ..)
[11:00] <pivi> I can remove them removing ubuntu-minimal or ubuntu-something, but I don't wont to get trouble when upgrading the distro ..
[11:11] <MikeN> pivi, you can remove them ignoring the deps, which will probably cause you no trouble with upgrading, but the extra packages don't really matter imho, they only waste some diskspace
[11:11] <pivi> yes, I know
