[01:08] <foo> I am trying to mount a partition on fiesty. I want to mount, say, /dev/sdb1 to tmp. So, I do vol_id -u /dev/sdb1 .. take that, then I plug it into fstab like: <whatever vol_id returned here> /tmp ext3 defaults 0 0 - right?
[03:04] <Scunizi> I have a "permission" problem on a file I copied from my server's ftp directory to the /var/www directory. It's a mov file.  Does it need execute permisssions to play it from FF?
[03:09] <Scunizi> permissions are currently -rwxr-x--x
[03:28] <dj-fu> Anyone familiar with apache? I'm trying to do AliasMatch ^/~(.*) /var/www/virtual/$i/htdocs/
[03:28] <dj-fu> but can't seem to get it going.
[03:37] <mralphabet> Scunizi: sounds like you need to properly set the mime type so firefox knows it needs to play the file, but seeing as this isn't the apache support group . . .
[03:59] <dj-fu> uh
[03:59] <dj-fu> stupid question
[03:59] <dj-fu> I just deleted all of /etc/apche
[03:59] <dj-fu> /etc/apache2
[03:59] <dj-fu> which package creates the directory structure in there?
[04:18] <TTT_Travis> anyone here know anything about using PAM
[04:18] <TTT_Travis> I am using Samba + Winbind + PAM to authenticate a ubuntu client to my Active Directory 2003 server, I am trying to figure out how to make PAM generate a kerberos TGT at login
[05:38] <maek> is there a way to see the compile time options of a given pkg?
[06:06] <levander> I just removed a network card from my machine that was eth0 and I'm using the other card that was (and still is) eth1.  Anyone know how to change it so that the one card that's still in there is now eth0?
[06:07] <ajmitch> see /etc/iftab, it maps mac address to interface name
[06:07] <levander> interesting, even though eth1 is working, it's not listing in iftab
[06:08] <levander> know how I regenerate that file?
[06:08] <ajmitch> what does the kernel detect the interface as?
[06:09] <levander> Well, dmesg reports that it sees this network card as eth0
[06:09] <levander> eth1 doesn't show up till the very last few lines of the dmesg output
[06:10] <levander> where it says "eth1: link is not ready" and seems to fail bring up a connection
[06:17] <levander> I've seen a couple of ubuntuforums posts suggesting to remove eth0 from iftab, reboot and see if it's regenerated correctly, gonna try...
[06:17] <levander> bbl
[06:30] <levander> Well, I took that line outta /etc/iftab and rebooted.  My NIC is now eth0.  But, iftab was not regenerated.  It's just blank.  
[06:30] <levander> Do I just not need that file?
[06:30] <ajmitch> no, you don't really
[06:30] <levander> my OCD though, don't wanna just blank out a system file
[06:32] <`6og> the file doesnt need to be there, so if its blank it doesnt matter
[06:33] <levander> yeah, okay
[06:33] <levander> i'm looking at a launchpad bug that says they're going to stop using that file altogether in feisty anyway
[06:33] <levander> which i'm just about to upgrade to
[06:52] <levander> Okay, great.  My NIC seems all good as eth0, with a blank /etc/iftab.
[06:53] <levander> Now, where can I check to see if my Marvell Yukon 88E8053 NIC is supported in Feisty?  It was in Dapper and wasn't in Edgy (you had to d/l a driver from the manufacturer's web site and compile it).
[08:40] <Scunizi> apt-get upgrade is holding back an upgrade to a new kernal.  From 2.6.15.24 to 2.6.15.26.  Does this mean I did something inadvertently to hold it back or should this new kernal not be installed?
[08:41] <ivoks> dist-upgrade
[08:41] <Scunizi> k.. I'll try
[08:42] <ivoks> upgrade will not install new packages; dist-upgrade will install new packages if needed
[08:43] <Scunizi> Thanks... dist-upgrade won't take it from DApper to edgy will it?
[08:44] <Scunizi> I know.. nOOb questions.  The learning curve is steep sometimes.
[08:44] <ivoks> nope
[08:44] <Scunizi> Thanks.
[08:44] <ivoks> dist-upgrade will only work with that what's in sources.list
[08:44] <ivoks> if there is dapper only, then it will dist-upgrade to dapper
[08:44] <Scunizi> That makes sense...
[08:44] <ivoks> same thing is with upgrade
[08:45] <ivoks> if you have edgy repos in sources.list
[08:45] <ivoks> both upgrade and dist-upgrade will install packages from edgy
[08:45] <ivoks> first will only upgrade exsisting packages, sencond will install full edgy system
[08:46] <Scunizi> Good to know.. This is a basic Dapper LAMP install I'm playing with on the lan via ssh.
[09:05] <sahafeez> if i want to have syslog as the centeral msg receiver for my network, i just need to edit the init.d file for it an add -r to let it listen, correct?
[09:05] <ivoks> i wouldn't edit init.d files
[09:05] <ivoks> you have /etc/default/syslogd
[09:06] <ivoks> and there is exactly the thing you need :)
[09:06] <sahafeez> hum, i do not see that dir
[09:06] <sahafeez> just looked
[09:06] <sahafeez> is it created by default on the install
[09:07] <ivoks> it's a file
[09:07] <ivoks> oh... dapper doesn't have it
[09:07] <sahafeez> lets backup, i have no /etc/default dir...on 7.04
[09:08] <ivoks> you must have /etc/default
[09:08] <sahafeez> i do not
[09:08] <ivoks> it is created by default, during install
[09:08] <sahafeez> hum. once sec. i should learn how to type
[09:09] <ivoks> it's in base-files package
[09:09] <sahafeez> ok, found it. it is like the rc.conf.local on bsd. do not edit the defaults, put it here. ok, cool. called by the init script
[09:10] <ivoks> right
[09:10] <ivoks> it is easier to upgrade it afterwards
[09:11] <sahafeez> makes sense. thanks. hum, do i need to setup a logger for a remote device or will it be dumped into * by default
[09:12] <ivoks> never tried that, but i guess it will go under *
[09:13] <sahafeez> cool it works
[09:13] <sahafeez> now i need to see how to create a device for it as i do not want it all in *
[09:13] <sahafeez> thanks!
[09:19] <ivoks> np
[10:11] <h4wk0> Why is my apache idle using so much memory?
[10:16] <shawarma> Probably because it's there.
[10:16] <shawarma> if there's plenty of memory available, it'd be a waste of time to swap it out.
[10:17] <shawarma> h4wk0: ^^
[10:18] <h4wk0> So other programs will take proity over it?
[10:18] <shawarma> h4wk0: That's one way to put it.
[10:19] <shawarma> Sort of.
[10:22] <h4wk0> shawarma; http://www.b4tch.co.uk/info/
[10:22] <h4wk0> My sysinfo
[10:23] <shawarma> anything in particular I should see?
[10:24] <h4wk0> Physical Memory usage
[10:24] <h4wk0> And the breakdown
[10:25] <shawarma> Well, it looks like you've got 318 MB free memory.
[10:26] <shawarma> Which means you've got plenty of RAM available.
[10:26] <h4wk0> 636 used on nothing so it seems, got a bnc, ircd, services - apache ftp mysql postgre webmin
[10:26] <h4wk0> main processes
[10:30] <shawarma> mysql can easily take several hundred megabytes of RAM. Apache probably somehwere around the same depending on what sort of modules you've got loaded.
[10:33] <shawarma> As I said: It's completely and utterly pointless to waste time on removing stuff from RAM, when there's plenty of free space.
[10:34] <shawarma> The only thing it will do is make it slower to use it the next time you need it.
[10:36] <shawarma> I have idea how That Other OS[tm]  does this, but I'd be surprised if they did it differently. If they do, they're even sillier than I thought.
[10:36] <shawarma> Er.. I have *NO* idea how...
