[01:19] <mayorbuttes> I suppose this might be a bit off topic, but what irc server (if anyone has experience with it) do you guys prefer to run?
[02:13] <fernando> hey all
[05:04] <danp> if i wanted to see how kickstart was implemented in ubuntu, what package would i look at? what does the installer run?
[05:26] <danp> kickseed!
[05:34] <Burgundavia> danp: debian-installer
[05:35] <danp> yeah. kickseed is what reads the kickstart file and turns it into a preseed for d-i...that's what i was looking for
[05:36] <danp> i'm surprised that LVM and RAID support are still missing
[05:36] <danp> i guess that's just because of the d-i limitations for that stuff
[05:37] <Burgundavia> lvm and raid are supported by di
[05:38] <danp> but via preseeding?
[05:38] <Burgundavia> no idea, I don't preseed
[05:38] <Burgundavia> small enough install that I can be lazy
[05:38] <player2> argh, why would pam_ldap (and ldapsearch for that matter) fail to bind as "uid=<my user name>,cn=users,dc=my,dc=server,dc=com" :(
[05:39] <danp> i have a lot of two-drive servers and i'd really like to be able to automate an install that does something like a 32G ext3 /, 2G swap and the rest a volume group with a logical volume at 80% on /srv or similar
[05:39] <danp> with RAID1 across the two drives
[05:42] <Burgundavia> danp: I have no idea. d-i shoudl do that

[05:42] <Burgundavia> player2: what is it looking under?
[05:44] <player2> eh?
[05:44] <player2> i'm attempting to set up ldap against an opendirectory server (OS X Server 10.4 to be exact)
[05:45] <Burgundavia> rifght
[05:45] <player2> if i do ldapsearch -x |grep dn, i can get my account's dn
[05:45] <player2> so i know i can at least to a simple bind
[05:45] <player2> but if i try to use that DN to do a bind, it fails
[05:45] <player2> claiming that the user doesn't exist
[05:45] <Burgundavia> opendirectory is just openldap
[05:55] <player2> am i using the wrong dn when attempting to bind or something equally stupid?
[05:59] <Burgundavia> that is what I am thinking is happening
[05:59] <Burgundavia> try without the cn=users
[05:59] <Burgundavia> just the dc bits
[06:00] <player2> ldapsearch -D 'uid=kmsluder,dc=wloyx,dc=loyola,dc=edu'
[06:00] <player2> asks for pw, provided... ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Internal (implementation specific) error (80)
[06:00] <player2>         additional info: SASL(-13): user not found: no user in database
[06:00] <Burgundavia> hmm
[06:07] <player2|bang-hea> agh forget it
[06:07] <player2|bang-hea> stupid nickname limit
[06:07] <Burgundavia> hmm
[06:08] <Burgundavia> ldap is a fun and sticky problem
[06:08] <player2> yea, indeed
[06:09] <player2> i think ldap was invented to torture people into sticking to vendor-supported solutions
[06:10] <Burgundavia> pretty much
[06:17] <player2> alright, well if you have no ideas then i have no ideas
[06:17] <player2> so i might as well go to sleep
[06:18] <player2> ty for your help
[06:24] <Fezzler> confused about root in GUI / GNOME
[09:44] <dsdg> morning, when i am a user and want to su - to root, i dont want to type my passwd....i added the following line to /etc/sudoers but it still askes me for a passwd, any advice? username    ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
[09:49] <shawarma> dsdg: Are you typing 'su -
[09:50] <shawarma> dsdg: Are you typing 'su -'?
[09:50] <dsdg> su -
[09:50] <dsdg> yes,
[09:50] <shawarma> you should do 'sudo su -'.
[09:51] <dsdg> ah,
[09:51] <dsdg> stupid mistake, i need a coffeee :)
[09:51] <shawarma> 1) because it's the right way :-)  and 2) because you're fiddling with sudo's config and not su's.
[09:51] <dsdg> thank you man!
[09:51] <shawarma> np
[10:21] <KnowledgEngineer> hello

[10:51] <Stonekeeper> Hi. I'm trying to move from CentOS to ubuntu 6.06LTS for my servers. My primary controller has a binary blob driver (but I'm able to compile a wrapper for ubuntu to get it working). In 7.04 there is the ability to load drivers at install time. Is there a way of doing this in 6.06? Or will i have to slipstream it? thanks.
[12:32] <Stonekeeper> I'm going to use reconstrunctor
[02:30] <RobNyc-work> where can I download ubuntu server?
[03:01] <Stonekeeper> RobNyc-work: www.ubuntu.com
[03:02] <RobNyc-work> ty 
[04:15] <lauso> hi guys. I am having some problems with an automatic installation, and thought that you may be able to help me.
[04:17] <lauso> I am installing a server using using the automatic installation. After reboot, a script is run to finish up the instalation. One of the steps is to install mysql. Unfortunately, a dialog is shown to inform me that if I am using NIS (and I am), I should do some specific configurations.
[04:17] <lauso> since the script is running by itself, I cannot tab and enter to say "ok".
[04:18] <lauso> I tryed to redirect the input from a file, but it seems not to work with ncourses interface  of whiptail. Do you have any idea of how could I solve this problem?
[04:19] <lauso> I though of removing whiptail (linking it to an empty script), but that is not general, and wouldn't work to install java (to accept the agreement).
[04:52] <Skaag> something is taking up 1.6gb of ram on my server
[04:52] <Skaag> I stopped mysql, apache, memcached
[04:52] <Skaag> and still 1.6gb
[05:00] <`6og> cache?
[05:01] <Skaag> I have a feeling it's a memory leak
[05:01] <`6og> try top, then sort by memory usage
[05:14] <danp> lauso: maybe need to use a preseed file to answer that question
[05:14] <danp> install it on another machine and then do debconf-get-selections | grep mysql and you might see something about that
[05:15] <danp> on my machine it looks like it's mysql-server-5.0/nis_warning
[06:08] <lauso> hi danp. thanks a lot. It was exactly what I needed
[06:16] <Stonekeeper> hi. does anyone know how i can load a 3rd party kernel module on 6.06 server install? thanks.
[06:28] <danp> anyone using preseeding for installs and setting up RAID/LVM with the preseed early_command?
[06:33] <lauso> danp, can I use the preseeding mecanism even after the install is done?
[06:34] <danp> sure
[06:35] <lauso> how to I invoke it in script?
[06:35] <lauso> how do I invoke it in a script?
[06:35] <danp> hold on a sec
[06:36] <danp> oh, yeah. you use debconf-set-selections
[06:44] <lauso> great. It worked like a charm for mysql. Thanks a lot
[06:44] <danp> np
[08:30] <ph1zzle> hey guys, is there a quick way to install mod_rewriet for apache2 on edgy?
[08:30] <ph1zzle> apt style way?
[08:30] <foo> ph1zzle: There is no "apt-style way"
[08:30] <foo> ph1zzle: a2enmod rewrite 
[08:30] <foo> IIRC
[08:31] <ph1zzle> a2enmod?
