[10:06] <gapz> hi A-Kaser
[01:14] <Stonekeeper> hi. Does anyone know how to send bind9 startup debug info to syslog? It's not resolving hostnames and I'd like to check it's reading in the dbs correctly. Thanks.
[01:16] <infinity> It should by default be logging to daemon.log anyway.
[01:16] <infinity> Unless you mean you want more verbosity.
[01:17] <infinity> If you want increased verbosity or to run it in the foreground instead of as a daemon, etc, try the manpage... named(8)
[01:17] <Stonekeeper> ah, i was trying bind(8)
[01:17] <Stonekeeper> thanks
[01:27] <Stonekeeper> ok, it seems like it doesn't like my db files in a subdirectory. anyone else have this problem? Or should i just chuck everything at the top level (/etc/bind/) ?
[01:28] <A-Kaser> what is the error ?
[01:28] <Stonekeeper> loading master file master/db.10.7.0: file not found
[01:28] <Stonekeeper> master is in /etc/bind
[01:29] <A-Kaser> named-checkconfig
[01:29] <Stonekeeper> named-checkconf returns nothing
[01:30] <A-Kaser> you use chroot ?
[01:30] <Stonekeeper> no i dont think so
[01:30] <Stonekeeper> ah i see
[01:30] <Stonekeeper> thanks. I was transfering old configs over. I see what the problem is now
[01:33] <A-Kaser> :)
[01:40] <infinity> Stonekeeper: bind's working directory is /var/cache/bind, is it not?  So anything not there needs to be specified as an absolute path.
[01:57] <Stonekeeper> infinity: ah right. I've coded in the path, just like the given dbs
[01:58] <Stonekeeper> the only thing that's foxing me is that named is complaining that it doesn't have permissions to the files, yet, bind owns them. Am checking it out right now
[03:15] <Ries> morning/afternoon folks
[03:36] <Stonekeeper> afternoon
[07:04] <Kelerion> hey guys
[07:05] <Kelerion> has anyone here had any experience installing ubuntu-sparc on the new t2000 niagara servers yet?
[07:05] <A-Kaser> no
[07:08] <Ries> Kelerion: I whish :)
[07:08] <Kelerion> can't get the damn thing to install ubuntu-sparc on.. keeps locking up at the partitioner... hmph
[08:26] <fabbione> Kelerion: i do run it on the t2000
[08:27] <fabbione> Kelerion: and it works just fine...
[09:34] <Kelerion> fabbione: am trying to install it from the ubuntu-sparc iso.. but it's stopping on the partioner.. I see theres some bugs on the bugs.ubuntu.com site... any suggestions?
[09:36] <Ries> Heu guys, I have a question... a client (really true) did a chown on the root of the FS, is there some utility that can restore permission settings on ubuntu server 6?
[09:50] <fabbione> Kelerion: no. works fine here both from iso and netinstall. If you have specific bug numbers please tell them.
[09:52] <Kelerion> yeah.. it's this one... identical problem: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/50056
[09:55] <fabbione> Kelerion: never seen anything like that
[09:55] <fabbione> Kelerion: i suggest you boot in expert mode
[09:56] <fabbione> and right before the partitioner just to console
[09:56] <fabbione> dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX count=1 bs=1024
[09:56] <fabbione> do it for all the disks in system (assuming you can do it)
[09:56] <fabbione> to clean up the partition tables
[09:57] <fabbione> (MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING)
[09:57] <fabbione> and run the partitioner again
[09:57] <Kelerion> ok.. good idea... trying it now
[09:57] <fabbione> Kelerion: be aware that /dev/sdX will destroy the data in the disk
[09:57] <fabbione> in theory you need to clean up all the disks in the system
[09:58] <Kelerion> yeah.. it's alright... theres nothing on there at the moment... have already wiped the drive once to do a gentoo install after I ran into this problem
[10:00] <fabbione> how many drives you have in that box?
[10:00] <Kelerion> 2
[10:00] <fabbione> because i wonder if the partition table on the other one is making problems
[10:00] <fabbione> i guess you have the solaris one and installing on the other
[10:00] <Kelerion> I did have an idea about taking one out.. in case it was a hardware raid issue.. but wasn't sure if that'd fix things
[10:00] <fabbione> if so instead of wiping solaris
[10:01] <fabbione> raid hw? how did you manage to configure it?
[10:02] <fabbione> actually
[10:02] <fabbione> hw raid hasn't been tested at all
[10:02] <fabbione> because my ALOM doesn't support it
[10:02] <fabbione> and i couldn't find the fw that does that
[10:02] <Kelerion> I haven't done anything with it.. was just an idea
[10:02] <fabbione> ah ok.. it's not configured by default
[10:02] <Kelerion> ahh ok
[10:02] <fabbione> just unplug the solaris disk
[10:02] <fabbione> and wipe the boot sector of the other
[10:02] <Kelerion> I've probably wiped out all partitions on both drives after the amount of messing around I've already done.. lol
[10:05] <Kelerion> ok.. starting the expert install now
[10:14] <Kelerion> ok.. done the language, keyboard and cdrom parts of the install..
[10:14] <Kelerion> do I want to load the preseed file?
[10:15] <Kelerion> ok.. this sounds like a dumb question even to me.. but wheres the partitioner option on the install menu gone?
[10:16] <Kelerion> *thinks he shouldn't have loaded the preseed file*
[10:19] <Kelerion> ok.. /proc/partitions is empty
[10:19] <Kelerion> must have been something I did before
[10:22] <Kelerion> ok.. will try and walk through the expert mode.. see what happens now... if still nothing.. will pull one of the drives
[10:23] <fabbione> you need to get to load extra installer modules before you can see the disks
[10:23] <Kelerion> ahh
[10:23] <fabbione> as i said you need to get to the partitioner step without entering it
[10:24] <fabbione> good night
[10:24] <Kelerion> thanks for the ideas :)
[10:24] <Kelerion> rest well
[10:25] <gapz> bye !
