benlakee100 and r8169 load on boot, but any attempts to utilize them end with errors and such12:19
benlakermmod/modprobe and poof they work12:19
Burgundaviahmm12:20
benlakeI'm at a loss, been scavenging all day12:21
benlakei'm curious if they are being loaded too soon or something.. when I watch the boot sequence, I actually see a terminal fire up then all the services start coming online12:21
benlakelike upstart's event based loading is delaying stuff12:22
benlakebut that's just my little brain trying to make sense of a big world :P12:22

benlakeno worries12:36
shawarmabenlake: It's not that upstart has delayed the other services. Rather the login prompt is shown a bit earlier than you're probably used to. :-)12:54
shawarmaWhat sort of errors do you get before the rmmod/insmod bit?12:54

dj-fuactually nevermind02:27
dj-fui'll jus tinstall it from debs and then copy over the bits I need for chrooting02:27
benlakeshawarma: hmm, the errors are like "can't read flags...SIGIOERR" something similar02:40
shawarmabenlake: And it's both your interfaces? 02:41
benlakeI think it's the e100  that says that, can't remember what the r8169 says02:41
shawarmaBut both of them are acting up?02:42
benlakeI can reboot, one sec02:42
benlakeyes02:42
benlakeboth modules02:42
shawarmaThat just... odd.02:42
shawarmaYou could try blacklisting them and loading them manually and see if that makes a difference.02:43
benlakeby loading them manually do you mean modules.conf?02:43
foor00tintheb0x: hmm, you are who I think you are, right?02:43
benlakeor a custom book script?02:43
shawarmaThat way you'd know if it's because they're loaded to early or perhaps a driver initialisation issue (which does seem unlikely since two different drivers are doing it).02:43
r00tintheb0xyes foo :P02:43
=== r00tintheb0x is working from home.
shawarmabenlake: No, manually as in "by hand".02:43
benlakeok, I'll reboot and give you better errors, and try that02:44
shawarmabenlake: It's not really a good time for me, actually. It's almost 3 am here and I've got an early start tomorrow.02:44
shawarmaYou could open a bug and add whatever debugging info to it you may have and post a link to the bug here. I can take a peek at it tomorrow.02:45

maeksorry sorry, its to early for me.04:30
mralphabetI've actually seen somebody else say that before04:30
mralphabetthere's an issue with apt-get because it specifies port 80 to communicate out and some proxies don't like that04:30

maekput, I have my proxy sting in there and it works fine04:31
mralphabetdisable the proxy if you can and try again04:31
maekno, I cant :(  ill try and use a wrapper.04:31
ivoksyou can configure apt04:32
ivoksin apt.conf04:32
maekdoes do-release-upgrade use the apt settings?04:32
maekbecause I have apt working with my proxy.04:32
ivoksi think it does04:32
maekits using the python-apt04:34
ivoksi just did do-release-upgrade on my one and only edgy server04:37
maekand it just went, I assume04:38
ivokspainless :D better than mouse clicking :)04:38
jsgotangcohell yeah that was really painless04:38
jsgotangcoa mouse click has always been an interface bug lol04:38
maekhmm, I got nothing. thanks for the help, im going to assume proxy. ill try and get a wrapper working.04:38

maekso, I use a mouseless wm on my desktop called wmii , its freaking brilliant. the last bit of mouse I need is cut and paste04:39
maekivoks: you are a genius. so that means its NOT using the apt proxy settings04:40
ivoksyup :)04:41
maeklike I said to early for me. thanks for the help.04:41
ivoksit's working now?04:41

ivoksgreat04:42
maekI agree, thanks very much.04:42
ivoksnp04:43
ivoksactualy...04:43
ivoksexporting http_proxy doesn't mean that it doesn't read apt.conf04:43
ivokscause http_proxy variable has higher importance than stuff in apt.conf04:43
maekah, but I have proxy settings in apt.conf that are working for apt-* and aptitude04:44
ivoksi was just speaking theoreticly :)04:44

flowolfzfs is available only on solaris based systems and freebsd-707:30

sahafeezthat guide is good. i just started on ubuntu. i am a freebsd, gentoo, solaris guy10:15
ivoksthere goes aptitude again :D10:15
ajmitchlionel: yes, you're not likely to need lots of ldap servers :)10:15
sahafeezis there a diff between that and apt-get 10:15
sahafeezas getting one working right is hard enough10:15
server_w/aptitude if you want to completely remove someting... it works.. apt-get leaves stuff10:15
ivoksserver_: apt-get --purge remove doesn't leave anything10:16
server_I stand corrected.. Learn something new every day!10:16
mralphabetserver_: a lot of the advantages that aptitude had are now in apt-get10:16
ivoksright10:17
sahafeeznotice the doc page has ntp but not setting up an ntp server10:17
server_good to know10:17
ivoksbtw, do-release-upgrade is awsome10:17
server_what's that?10:17
ivokstool for dist upgrading servers10:18
ivoksfrom edgy to feisty...10:18
server_so if I did that on the dapper machine would it give me edgy.. then again to make it to fiesty?10:18
mralphabetno10:19
ivoksno, it isn't available in dapper10:19
mralphabetdapper has to do the dist-upgrade if I remember correctly10:19
sahafeezanyway to see what services are running like on solaris..10:19
ivoksit will probably be, when new LTS comes out10:19
mralphabetps aux10:19
sahafeezbesides ps -ef | more10:19
mralphabetnetstat -e10:19
server_oh.. well... dapper's been pretty stable .. probably won't do anything until the next LTs10:19
mralphabeter netstat -a10:19
sahafeezugh, and ugh10:19
sahafeezsomeone needs to port svcadm or launchd10:20
ivokswhy?10:20

ivokscleaner than... ? :)10:20
sahafeezps aux10:21
ivokssahafeez: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/10:21
ivoksWIP10:21
sahafeezcool.10:21
sahafeezhave you seen svc on solaris?10:23
ivoksnope10:23
sahafeezhttp://rafb.net/p/5zHwfF84.html10:24
ivoksright, that's something upstart will do10:25
ivoksnot everything, cause there are tools aleardy for some stuff10:25
sahafeezthen you get this http://rafb.net/p/HZc01578.html10:25
ivokslike update-rc.d10:25
sahafeezthat is part of the issue with linux. each distro is diff as far as that goes. 10:26
ivoksyou should look at distro as a separate operating system10:26
ivoksnot as linux (all distros)10:26
sahafeeznot that easy sometimes.10:27
ivokscause, what's the diff betwean solaris and linux, except kernel?10:27
sahafeezthere are major differences10:27
ivoksif you don't count licenses :D10:27
ivoksand different  arguments to programs with same names10:27
sahafeezsolaris was 1st10:27
ivoks:DD10:27
sahafeezhowever that is not the point.10:28
sahafeezi really would love to ZFS on linux. that would make me jump up and down for joy10:28
ivokssun doesn't allow it10:28
sahafeezno, GPL does not allow it.10:28
sahafeezsun is fine with it.10:28
sahafeezthe reason that it cannot be in the code is a GPL restriction.10:29
sahafeezGPL does not allow for you to link to non-gpl code10:29
sahafeezfor the most part. that is the reason that nvidia has that kernel loader nub10:29
sahafeezZFS has been ported to freebsd and os x10:30

ivoks_shawarma: looking at #ubuntu-server, do you think it was a good thing to open it for support to? :)10:31
sahafeezbtw, i am very impressed with ubuntu. as this is the 1st time i have run it. i picked the server over sles and rhel for my network at work and part of the reason was the correct and polite answers in this channel10:33
ivoks_well, we are new in support :)10:34
ivoks_this was development-only channel before10:34
mralphabetcorrect and polite?10:34
mralphabetwow, people really stepped up to the plate ;)10:35
ivoks_and.. we do have code of conduct10:35
sahafeezwell, have you ever tried to get an answer in #gentoo or #openbsd 10:35
mralphabetsahafeez: no actually heh10:35
sahafeezthe answers in gentoo are useless and the answers in openbsd are correct and rude 10:36
ivoks_when i used gentoo, i've never asked anything on #gentoo10:36
sahafeezi did once or twice. got over it.10:36
sahafeezi do have to admit that i can be a bit rude in openbsd as it is my main os for most things. however the docs are so damn good it gets really annoying when people do not even look at them. 10:37
sahafeezmy biggest issue with ububtu was i did not know were to start, however after getting pointed to the server doc pages i was good to go.10:38
ivokshelp.ubuntu.com10:38
sahafeezyes, i know. and love it. very well done. 10:39
sahafeezi am making notes on my pam+samba+ldap setup and hope to contrib them10:39
ivoksi hate those setups10:39
ivokstwo passwords for same user10:40
sahafeezwell done right there is only one password - in ldap10:40
ivoksi rather install nfs client on windows clients :)10:40
ivokssahafeez: but there are two in ldap10:40
sahafeezi am replacing an w2k3 srvr and exchange with ubuntu and opengroupware10:40
ivokssahafeez: smbpassword and pampassword10:40
sahafeezi do not care per-say as long as the tool changes both10:41
ivoks:)10:41
sahafeezopengroupware talks to ldap to for email, etc. so i need one location if i am going to make this work. has to work a simple as the ms AD stuff. 10:42
ivoksad is simple, but unreliable...10:42
sahafeezwindows is windows. i have had the same working setup with no issues for 3 years now. it just started to bork up - thus the move.10:43
sahafeezi have always stayed away from things like ubuntu because i have a bad taste in my mouth from debain.10:44
ivokswhy? debian is great; thus, ubuntu is great :)10:44
sahafeezbah. i think i started with debain pre-sarge10:44
sahafeezrpm and redhate was not much better10:44
sahafeezi stuck to slackware10:45
sahafeezthen gentoo10:45
mralphabetI always loved slack10:45
sahafeezi have my asterisk pbx on it right now.10:45
mralphabetlack of a decent package manager made me look at something else10:45
ivoksi always hated gentoo, even while i was using it :)10:45
sahafeezi will be moving it to ubuntu if this other setup works. i only want one os10:46
sahafeezi will be down to 2 x ubuntu and 1 x openbsd and very happy10:46
ivoksone to rule them all xexexe10:46

ivokspromise sx...?10:50
sahafeezugh, i have been using zfs for so long i forget the format for /etc/exports. ugh...man page here i come10:50
ivoksurgh... i would rather go to store and buy another one; this is something i actualy do :)10:50
ivoksmralphabet: it doesn't support10:50
sahafeez3ware, repeat after me, 3ware10:50
ivoksmralphabet: promise changed firmware10:50
ivokssahafeez: +++10:50
ivoksmralphabet: and now it works only with their driver, which they have only for 2.410:51
sahafeezebay it, get a 3ware10:51
mralphabetsahafeez: it's what I have to work with, doesn't mean I'm happy with it, simply what I have10:51
mralphabetivoks: ;(10:52
sahafeezthe windows box i am replacing has a promise. not sure if it is part of the issue. 10:52
ivoksmost probably :D10:52
ivoks3ware is best for sata devices10:53
mralphabetI have 4xide10:53
ivokssmartd works, they even have their own tool for monitoring, which is great10:53
sahafeeznfs in zfs - zfs sharenfs=on box/export/home10:53
ivoksmralphabet: 3ware has IDE controlers too :)10:53
sahafeezand you are done. no files to edit ;)10:54
sahafeezi am going to port it myself ;)10:54

server_back.. thanks for the suggestion on using vsftpd. It's now installed and I can connect but I can't upload any files.  Can you point me in the right direction?11:22
ivoks /etc/vsftpd.conf11:23
sahafeezdid you set the right permission on the dir you are uploading to11:23
ivoksthat file is well documented, so you understand what you have to change11:24
server_it created a directory in the /home/ftp11:24
ivokssahafeez: by default upload is disabled11:24
ivoksserver_: open vsftpd.conf and read it, it's easy11:24
server_i changed that in the config file11:24
ivokswhat did you change?11:24
sahafeezah, well then. i thought he would have read the config and it would be permissions11:24
server_changed local permissions to allow.11:25
ivokslocal_enable=YES11:25
ivoks?11:25
ivoksand:11:25
ivokswrite_enable=YES11:25
server_yep.11:25
ivoksthis will enable local users to upload and use ftp11:25
ivoksnot anonymous users11:26
server_I logged in as both a password user and anonymous user .. didn't work either way11:26
ivokswhen you loged in as 'password' user, did you get you home dir?11:26
server_yes11:26
ivoksand you couldn't create files in it?11:27
server_no11:27
ivokswhat ftp client did you use?11:27
server_gftp11:27
ivoksyou restarted vsftpd service after changing config?11:28
server_yes11:28
ivoksare you sure you have write_enable=YES11:28
server_brb.. I'll double check11:28
server_yep.. it's enabled.. the config also mentions something about umask is 077 and some ftp clients use 02211:31
ivoksyou should leave umask at 027 or 02211:31
server_ok11:32
ivoksthat depends on what you want11:32
server_when I log in using a password it dumps me at /home/server11:32
ivoksuser is server?11:32
server_which is my user name...duh!11:32
ivoksthat's ok11:33
ivokscan you download files from ftp?11:33
server_I'll check.. brb11:33
ivoksdon't tell my you are walking from computer to computer11:33
ivoksuse ssh11:33
shawarmaEr.. No. use ftp. :-)11:33
ivoks:)11:33
server_no.. not walking just finger impaired today.11:34
server_it does up and down from the home directory however when I go to /home/ftp nothing... I had missed that I'd changed directories.11:35
server_/home/ftp is a ftp "user" directory ?11:35
sahafeezdumb question. is there a gui/gnome tool for network card management11:35
ivokshttp://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2786 - nice11:35
server_networkmanager11:36
ivoksserver_: no11:36
sahafeezthanks11:36
ivoksserver_: /home/ftp is for anonymouse users11:36
server_ok.. that doesn't work locally.11:36
ivoksof course11:36
ivoksanonymouse users use existing user on linux11:37
ivoksand home of that user - /home/ftp11:37
mralphabetuse sftp!11:37
sahafeezcan i move apt-get to apt-get.org and ln apt-get to atitude11:37
ivoksi thing you don't want anonymouse access11:37
ivokssahafeez: you can do whatever you want, but i would advise such a move :)11:38
server_k... I'll have to read the docs to see how to set up a generic password access and lock things to a specific directory.  I'm trying to set this up for others to send files to me.11:38
ivokss/would/wouldn't/ :)11:38
sahafeeznetworkmanger is kde11:38
ivokssahafeez: not11:38
server_knetworkmanager i think11:38
ivokssahafeez: network-manager is non-GUI11:39
server_other is gnome11:39
ivoksshawarma: network-manager-gnome is gnome, and knetworkmanager is kde UI part of it11:39
ivoksups...11:39
shawarmahuh?11:39
shawarmaOh.11:39
shawarmanm11:39
ivoksthat was for sahafeez 11:39
ivokssorry11:40
sahafeezah, thanks. learning how to search now with apt11:40
ivoksapt-cache search; but these are #ubuntu related questions :)11:40
sahafeezi know...i am reading...11:40
server_thanks .. I'll read the docs and google for a while ... 11:41
