[05:42] sanmarcos: Maybe you have the 'back to the feature' edition of ubuntu? [05:42] indeed [05:42] ill just genereate one of my own, anyhow I dont understand why it starts from 2005 [05:42] /var/lib/dpkg/info/dovecot-common.postinst [05:43] I wont bother reporting a bug report.. [05:46] sorry, I dom't know..... it sounds like a setting, but then again I am nnot much of a ubunto guru [05:46] that is the problem and yet again the most promiment feature with ubuntu [05:46] not enough people with years of experience [05:46] besides the core devs [05:47] sanmarcos: is that on dapper? [05:47] yeah [05:47] dovecot shouldn't be even generating a certificate and use the one from ssl-cert [05:48] that's a common snake-oil cert in /etc/ssl/... [05:48] dovecot-common does [05:48] snake-oil I suppose is your all purpose ssl cert for the machine? [05:48] yeah the "fake" certificates autogenerated just to make the services happy to start for the user [05:50] dovecot (1.0.alpha5-1ubuntu2) dapper; urgency=low [05:50] * Switch default config to use ssl-cert-snakeoil certificates. [05:50] * Add Depends on ssl-cert. [05:50] * Make postinst use a more generic grep for SSL_* otherwise it just doesn't [05:50] work. [05:50] the certificate is generated only if it can't find the pre-generated ones [05:51] and the path to the certificates is embedded in the config [05:51] if you did customize your config, then it might generate the snake-oil certificates for you [05:51] it's not really a bug.. it's wanted behavious [05:51] behaviour [05:52] anyhow, I like to put some of my info in the cert [05:52] it works, so whatever [05:52] latest on dapper does not check for snake oil [05:53] i just checked the source in dapper.. it does [05:53] *** 1.0.beta3-3ubuntu5.3 0 [05:53] postinst for dovecot-common, does not [05:53] dapper updates this is [05:53] ## SSL Certs [05:53] # Certs and key file [05:53] SSL_CERT=$( (grep "ssl_cert_file" /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf || echo '/etc/ssl [05:53] SSL_KEY=$( (grep "ssl_key_file" /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf || echo '/etc/ssl/pr [05:53] ivate/dovecot.pem') | cut -d'=' -f2) [05:54] # Generate new certs if needed [05:54] if [ -f $SSL_CERT ] && [ -f $SSL_KEY ] ; then [05:54] echo "You already have ssl certs for dovecot." [05:54] yes it does [05:54] ohh that you mean, yes I have that [05:54] it expects 2 separate files for cert and key [05:54] or at least both the entry in the config [05:54] yeah but does not check for /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem [05:54] there is no need to [05:55] the default config points to that [05:55] ah ok [05:55] if you change the default config, it changes the check [05:55] heh, that is why [05:55] so as i am saying.. it works :) [05:55] thank you for taking your time to clarify my confusion [05:55] no problem [05:55] given that i did the patch for ssl-cert-snakeoil thingy :) [05:56] nice [05:56] still I dont know why it was generating a new dovecot.pem cert with start date 05 and end 06 (october) [05:57] anyhow, I couldnt care, since I made my own [05:58] ahh it feels nice to do some maintenance on servers.. fixing all the erorrs === whurley [n=whurley@cpe-70-112-219-150.austin.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-server === dura [n=dura@24-179-202-21.dhcp.dlth.mn.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-server === sanmarcos [n=sanmarco@unaffiliated/sanmarcos] has left #ubuntu-server [""Irssi] === nerophibia [n=nero@user-85-201-97-15.tvcablenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-server === yogurtthewise [n=yogurt@bb-87-81-167-77.ukonline.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-server === thefish [n=thefish@unaffiliated/thefish] has joined #ubuntu-server === fabbione [i=fabbione@gordian.fabbione.net] has joined #ubuntu-server === thefish [n=thefish@unaffiliated/thefish] has joined #ubuntu-server === ToonArmy [n=chris@Lafrowda-17.ex.ac.uk] has joined #ubuntu-server === spike_ [n=spike@82.108.46.34] has joined #ubuntu-server === spike_ is now known as spike === truz_`24 [n=truz_`24@74.129.166.232] has joined #ubuntu-server === ivoks [n=ivoks@ubuntu/member/ivoks] has joined #ubuntu-server === whurley [n=whurley@cpe-70-112-219-150.austin.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-server === CarlFK [n=carl@c-24-13-53-221.hsd1.il.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-server === lbm [n=lbm@82.192.173.92] has joined #ubuntu-server === tpm [n=tpm@c-68-59-248-219.hsd1.tn.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-server === DJ_Mirage [n=martijn@biggetje.xs4all.nl] has joined #ubuntu-server === mooseman447 [n=mooseman@24.229.203.37.res-cmts.sm.ptd.net] has joined #ubuntu-server === tmarble [n=tmarble@192.18.101.5] has joined #ubuntu-server === yogurtthewise [n=yogurt@bb-87-81-167-77.ukonline.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-server === whurley [n=whurley@cpe-70-112-219-150.austin.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-server === porkpie1 [n=mark@cpc1-bsfd5-0-0-cust929.cmbg.cable.ntl.com] has joined #ubuntu-server [08:45] Hi guy's ....can anyone tell me where I can find the driver for a PERC 5/i raid contoller [08:45] controller === ivoks [n=ivoks@ubuntu/member/ivoks] has joined #ubuntu-server === porkpie1 [n=mark@cpc1-bsfd5-0-0-cust929.cmbg.cable.ntl.com] has joined #ubuntu-server [11:15] ivoks:hi [11:15] hi [11:15] I spoke to dell today and it's deffinatley hardware raid [11:16] hehe [11:16] When I installed the os both drives were active ....I think the issue is the megaraid_sas driver [11:16] did you ask them do they know what's software raid? [11:16] Yeah .... [11:16] and? [11:16] software raid is controlled by the OS [11:17] right [11:17] I have deleted the raid configuration and recreated it ... [11:17] and, on install, you see one or two/three disks? [11:17] 3 [11:18] so... that's impossible with hardware raid [11:18] ubuntu is detecting the physical drive as well as the logical drive [11:18] right [11:19] with hardware raid you see one disk or you don't see anything [11:19] system can not see all disks [11:19] I even tried installing on sda but it still failed with error 21 [11:19] I agree [11:19] that's what linux calls fakeraid [11:20] in the end, it's a software raid [11:20] it's controlled by the driver [11:20] i.e. driver for hardware raid is used to detect controller [11:20] driver for fakeraid is used to detect controller and set up raid fields [11:20] hmm! [11:21] software raid is used when there is no raid controller [11:21] how did the other guy get his 1950 to work .... === asw [n=asw@karuna.med.harvard.edu] has joined #ubuntu-server [11:21] porkpie1: it had other raid controller [11:22] maybe you noticed, but dell calls all their controllers PERC [11:22] or whatever [11:22] they even have same number - 5 [11:22] but one costs 0$, and other 700$ [11:22] which one do you think is hardware raid? :) [11:23] go with linux software raid [11:24] well according to dell the PERC 5/i is and LSI card [11:25] http://www.lsilogic.com/cm/LookupDownloads.do?role=1&geo=ALL&category=-1&family=-1&product=8279&subtypes=Driver [11:25] porkpie1: please read http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html [11:26] http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid_sas/index.html [11:26] ivoks:this is sas not sata [11:28] ivoks:the link you sent me is for sata which dell use on there desktops .....this is different it's scsi [11:31] hm [11:32] ivoks:I think if I can get the correct driver for the initramfs ...it might work ?? [11:32] initramfs isn't the problem [11:32] ?? === lbm [n=lbm@82.192.173.92] has joined #ubuntu-server [11:32] porkpie1: your grub dies... that's before initramfs is loaded [11:33] Yeah [11:33] IC [11:33] porkpie1: this happens with fakeraids, when you install system on disk, but not on raid [11:33] porkpie1: and you see disks, not raid in installation [11:33] Hmm! yeah [11:34] porkpie1: maybe you didn't set up raid correctly? [11:34] ivoks:it's very simple ...I have set it up twice now ....I even went through it with Dell ... [11:35] http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/ [11:35] what am I looking for [11:35] anything :) [11:35] hahahaha [11:36] shit ...I might as well send this box back [11:36] ivoks:there must be a way to get this to work. It works with RH and Suse [11:36] so... megaraid_sas should detect raid, not disks [11:37] maybe some modules loads before and detects disks? [11:37] in the install you mean [11:37] yes [11:37] hmm! [11:37] not much we can do about that is there ? [11:37] start install and, when you get to partitioner [11:38] choose 'go back' [11:38] OK [11:38] doing it now [11:38] then shift to alt+f2 [11:38] and lsmod | grep megaraid [11:42] megaraid_sas [11:43] scsi_mod 160504 4 usb_storage,sg,sd_mod,megaraid_sas [11:44] ivoks:? [11:45] that looks ok [11:45] but you don't see raid :/ [11:46] hmm! what does that mean [11:48] could you export dmesg to some file [11:48] and upload it somewhere? [11:48] dmesg > dmesg_log [11:48] mount /dev/fd0 /mnt [11:48] hmm! how would I get it off the drive [11:48] cp dmesg_log /mnt [11:48] umount /mnt [11:48] ivoks:no floppy drive [11:48] of course, you need floppy :) [11:48] oh... [11:48] scp? [11:49] not network connection [11:49] dhclient eth0 [11:49] it doesn't detect the card [11:49] nice :/ [11:49] usb? [11:50] I have usb slots [11:50] yes [11:50] and usb key/stick? :) [11:50] I have a usb stick as well [11:50] there you go [11:50] OK let me get the stick ...2 secs ...can you run me through the commands [11:50] porkpie1: dmesg, lspci [11:51] sure [11:51] dmesg : dmesg_log [11:51] 2 secs [11:51] grr [11:51] dmesg > dmesg_log [11:51] lspci > lspci_log [11:51] lspci -vv > lspci-vv [11:52] OK doing it now [11:55] the last command didn't work [11:55] switch is wrong [11:56] invalid option w [11:56] -w [11:56] -vv [11:56] not -w [11:56] OK [11:56] upper case [11:56] no [11:56] two v [11:56] OK [11:56] not double w [11:57] OK ...it that it [11:57] that's it [11:57] copy them to stick and upload somewhere [11:57] hmm! how do I cp to the stick [11:58] sorry [11:58] run dmesg [11:58] last lines will tell you the name of the stick [11:58] proabably /dev/sdd1 [11:58] yeah thats it [11:59] mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt [12:02] do you only want dmesg_log [12:02] no, all three files [12:03] blast I took the stick out before umount ....I need to remount [12:04] eh I cant remount [12:04] umount it first [12:04] then mount it again [12:04] copy [12:04] umount [12:05] hmm! no such file or dir ..sorry about this
