[02:10] <benkong2> hello
[02:11] <benkong2> I am trying to install ubuntu-server 7.04 and keep getting a malloc error on boot. Debian Etch boots fine any idea what's wrong?
[04:05] <kupesoft> What's a good small computer like the mini-mac or something for a headless Ubuntu Linux home server (with a least a pci slot to be a wireless ap)? I'm having a lot of trouble navigating through the sea of distributors );
[09:05] <jpiccolo> would anyone know why i can ssh into a machine if i use the ip address but not if i use the host name?
[09:44] <foo> Hm, does a server always need a valid hostname>?
[10:07] <Gruelius> If im having issues with cups sharing my printers over the network in gentoo, will the problem likely to be resolved in surver ed considering that everything or most stuff is preconfigured?
[10:10] <Gruelius> ladies?
[10:12] <shawarma> Gruelius: There's nothing special about the server edition as such.
[10:12] <shawarma> Gruelius: It's all the same software as the desktop version. The difference is the choice of packages installed by default (no desktop, a different kernel, etc.)
[10:12] <shawarma> Gruelius: ...so you could try with a liveCD and see if it works.
[10:14] <Gruelius> sorry i miswrote my question. I guess its stupid actually looking back at it. My main problem with gentoo is that while it uses very verly little resources ive gone through EVERYTHING and i still cant get my printer to share :( lol. Ill use the live cd and see where that gets me.
[10:16] <shawarma> You could also attack it more directly and ask in a cups channel..
[10:17] <Gruelius> the cups channel never gets me any help lol. i should find their mailing list/forum actually
[10:18] <Gruelius> problem is samba creates the error log so ive got no idea wheere to look, they both have correct config files.
[07:31] <jbsn> what do I need to apt-get to get zlib-devel ?
[07:35] <mralphabet> zlib1g-dev?
[07:35] <jbsn> apt-get install libz-devel if anyone wanted to know :)
[07:35] <jbsn> mralphabet, thanks I figured it out :)
[07:35] <mralphabet> aye
[07:37] <gubluntu> how would i go about tailing a log file and sending an email alert wehn a certain regex pattern appears?
[07:38] <\sh> with a fifo and some perl magic?
[07:38] <\sh> there must be a tool
[07:42] <shawarma> logcheck
[07:43] <Burgundavia> check the toilet
[07:46] <shawarma> Burgundavia: Is there a treasure?
[07:46] <shawarma> gubluntu: logcheck is what you want, I think.
[07:58] <gubluntu> shawarma: i think i shoud look elsewhere logcheck depends on exim mta, this will be for my mailsserver running zimbra (using postifx)
[07:58] <gubluntu> i forsee massive screwups
[07:59] <shawarma> gubluntu: logcheck depends on a mail-transport-agent.
[07:59] <shawarma> gubluntu: Not exim in particular
[07:59] <gubluntu> The following NEW packages will be installed: exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light liblockfile1 lockfile-progs logcheck logcheck-database logtail mailx
[07:59] <shawarma> That's doesn't mean it depends on exim.
[07:59] <shawarma> It means it depends on a mail-transport-agent, which exim provides.
[08:00] <shawarma> If you already have an mta, it should "Provides: mail-transport-agent"
[08:00] <shawarma> It's Zimbra, you say?
[08:00] <shawarma> ...which is not in the archive.
[08:00] <shawarma> It has its own built in postfix?
[08:00] <shawarma> Evil.
[08:00] <shawarma> :)
[08:03] <gubluntu> it installs it during install
[08:04] <gubluntu> its a great solution
[08:04] <gubluntu> has saved me many hours and headaches
[08:04] <gubluntu> plus the AJAX interface is shiny
[08:06] <lionel> gubluntu: the problem is that it tends to breack package...
[08:08] <\sh> shawarma, btw...do you have access to a dl365 with a p800 controller and an msa60 storage attached?
[08:09] <shawarma> gubluntu: What does 'dpkg -l postfix' say?
[08:09] <shawarma> \sh: No, I must have left it in my other trousers, sorry. :)

[08:16] <\sh> shawarma, hmmm...you don't have actually a contact at HP or know a person who is playing with really funny hw and ubuntu?
[08:17] <shawarma> \sh: Not really. fabbione would be a better bet.
[10:13] <qman> hello
[10:13] <qman> I have a system with four network cards, eth0 - eth3. I am setting this machine up as the main router and internet gateway for my network. eth0 will be attached to the internet with an automatically assigned address, and the other three interfaces run 192.168.x.x networks, with a DHCP server running on the same box. However, dhcpd will not start unless I define a subnet for eth0. Since it's dynamic, and doesn't stick to the sam
[10:13] <qman> e network range, I can't very well do this. Is there a workaround?
[10:14] <ivoks> huh?
[10:15] <\sh> stick dhcp to just listen on eth1-3#
[10:15] <\sh> or do some vlan magic ;)
[10:15] <ivoks> open up /etc/default/dhcp3-server
[10:15] <qman> where would I tell it where to listen
[10:15] <ivoks> and define interfaces
[10:16] <qman> ah, thanks very much, this is exactly what I was looking for and couldn't find
[10:17] <qman> worked perfectly, thanks again!
[10:17] <\sh> qman, local-address could be your friend...man dhcpd.conf
[10:18] <ivoks> yup
[10:19] <\sh> ivoks, dude, you don't have a dl365 with p800 smartarray controller and something like a MSA storage device attached to it, do you?
[10:22] <ivoks> d-i doesn't make trouble installing on >2TB
[10:22] <ivoks> but you'll have a problem with booting
[10:22] <ivoks> d-i will automaticaly create GPT, so you need bios with EFI extensions
[10:22] <\sh> ivoks, no,..the 2TB device is not the booting device, I know that grub has probs booting eit gpt labled partitions ;)
[10:23] <ivoks> :)
[10:23] <ivoks> then just go... d-i in dapper works with >2TB with no problems
[10:23] <\sh> ivoks, not with the p800 inside ;)
[10:24] <\sh> ivoks, feisty runs indeed..but d-i complains about the last external port, which wasn't configured at all, with something like external storage... 
[10:24] <\sh> ivoks, on areca sata 6 controller, no problem with d-i
[10:25] <ivoks> sorry, missed that p800
[10:25] <ivoks> (paying bils, ircing and thinking about >2TB doesn't go well :)
[10:25] <\sh> ivoks, and just want to know, if it's just a glitch in the my matrix, or if it's a real glitch of d-i and the kernel driver of hp
[10:26] <\sh> hehe
[10:26] <\sh> I hope I convince my boss to give access to some nice devices we have here running
[10:27] <\sh> ben would love it, and fabbione will kiss me to work on those devices ;)
[10:30] <mralphabet> ivoks: you were saying something about growing the array before I had to go last night?
[10:34] <ivoks> yeah... something like that
[10:34] <mralphabet> ivoks: I'm not sure what you were going after
[10:36] <ivoks> you said your raid field is small, right?
[10:37] <mralphabet> not really
[10:40] <mralphabet> I have 2 hard drives with 2 partitions, sdb1 sdc1 sdb5 sdc5, b1+c1 = md0 mounted on / and is just fine.  b5 and c5 was initially intended as mirrored swap I would prefer to just mount as straight swap without the mirror, hence I was trying to make md1 go away to free those partitions up.
[10:42] <mralphabet> Thanks for the help yesterday by the way, I was at the end of the line.
[10:42] <ivoks> np
