[03:11] <jtole_> hey guys
[03:12] <jtole_> I was wondering if anyone could help me with a simple problem, I am trying to install mailscanner and clamav as a single apt-get process and now trying to remove them to see if it fixes the bug, I get => debconf: DbDriver "config": could not open /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
[03:13] <jtole_> does anyone know why... or better yet how I create that file
[03:13] <jtole_> which I know doesn't exist
[03:14] <jtole_> nevermind
[03:14] <jtole_> I just created the dir and touched the file and it ran through fine
[03:47] <r00tintheb0x> wow @ http://www.getdeb.net/
[04:06] <Burgundavia> crack built debs of questionable quality
[04:20] <qiyong> dovecot only support local user, not virtual user, right?
[04:21] <ajmitch> dovecot can support virtual users
[04:21] <ajmitch> you just have to define a userdb & passdb to use, like a static file
[04:23] <ajmitch> eg I use passdb passwd-file, and userdb static
[04:45] <jtole_> hey guys, whats the command again to automatically add or remove something from init?
[04:45] <jtole_> like to create and remove the links from init.d to rc{2,3,5}.d?
[04:53] <jtole_> um, actually, if anyone could help me with a bit of a trickier question I am having a unknown problem with apt-get trying to remove a package, I added the -f on this one after it failed without it => http://rafb.net/p/b7DqUZ54.html
[06:21] <Fezzler> I can map to (Vista) and mount (OS X) Linux server files, but the permission for the folder isn't extending to files in them??
[07:26] <jtole> hey guys, real quickly, in 7.04 server how do I tell apache2 to run perl / cgi scripts
[07:26] <jtole> I have looked in a few places so far and I don't see an answer
[07:46] <qiyong> !postfixadmin
[07:47] <qiyong> is postfixadmin in ubuntu? i can't find it
[07:48] <Burgundavia> I have no idea to eitehr question
[07:56] <qman> if it is, it's most likely a package in the repositories
[07:58] <qman> a quick search says no
[07:59] <qiyong> so postfix lacks a web interface for management
[08:01] <qman> this may be of help: http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/
[08:02] <qman> it's written for Dapper, but should translate pretty easily for edgy or feisty
[08:11] <Skaag> how do I reinstall a module I removed from the kernel?
[08:12] <qman> modprobe module_name
[08:17] <Skaag> I mean the file itself ;-)
[08:18] <Skaag> do you know how I re-apply the settings in sysctl.conf?
[08:18] <qiyong> !PostGrey
[08:19] <Skaag> ok sysctl -p does that
[08:35] <qiyong>  what the benefit ldap is over mysql solution?
[08:36] <qman> you can combine it with any other user database type
[08:36] <qman> like active directory, for example
[10:53] <qiyong> !king
[10:54] <qiyong> ubuntu has certificate 'king'?
[10:55] <shawarma> What?
[10:57] <ivoks> ?
[10:58] <shawarma> qiyong: What do you mean by "ubuntu has certificate 'king'" ?
[11:00] <qiyong> shawarma, after a default installation, and I connect to the server 25 port with tls
[11:00] <qiyong> shawarma, it shows me the king certificate
[11:00] <ivoks> snake oil?
[11:01] <ivoks> on installation, all TLS/SSL services use same certificate, self-generated, dummy snake oil
[11:01] <shawarma> qiyong: Er... A default installation does not listen on port 25?
[11:02] <shawarma> qiyong: Also, I still don't understand "king"?
[11:28] <qiyong> shawarma, default postfix installation
[11:33] <shawarma> How am I supposed to help, when they run off?
[02:07] <svschwartz> hi all :) I want to manage my virtual hosting server via web ui, can anyone suggest the solution ? thnx :)
[02:08] <svschwartz> for ubuntu of course
[02:10] <svschwartz> I wanted to try VHCS, but the project is not actively maintain right now, imho
[02:40] <svschwartz> anybody :)
[03:17] <mralphabet> svschwartz: there is not a recommended solution for web management, though I think that is something beging worked on for gutsy
[03:17] <mralphabet> s/beging/being
[03:22] <effraie> o/
[03:23] <effraie> does anybody knows if backporting php5 1.3 to dapper is dangerous?
[03:28] <effraie> lionel: tu sais pas a, toi?
[03:42] <lionel> hi effraie
[03:42] <lionel> I did not test it
[03:42] <lionel> I think a but report is opened on backporting php
[03:43] <effraie> ah, ok
[03:44] <lionel> It was rejected: too much packages to backport
[03:45] <lionel> Bug #81029
[03:47] <effraie> thanx lionel 
[03:47] <lionel> you're welcome :)
[05:07] <Znuffy> Hello. Are there PDO modules for php5 on ubuntu-server?
[05:10] <leonel> Znuffy: what package or file name is one of them ?
[05:11] <Znuffy> I have no idea to be honest
[05:11] <Znuffy> all I know is that a web app can't find the PDO class, and from what I googled, it's a php extension
[05:12] <Znuffy> The PHP Data Objects extension, which defines a lightweight and consistent interface for accessing databases <----
[05:18] <leonel> no it looks like there's no  php-pdo in ubuntu
[05:19] <Znuffy> that's bad
[05:20] <Znuffy> seems there are some bugs
[05:21] <leonel> where in php ? pdo ?
[05:23] <Znuffy> leonel, no, I mean, reported bugs on ubuntu 
[05:23] <Znuffy> any idea where I could find the "phpize" binary?
[09:02] <qman> ok, I ran into one more little problem
[09:03] <qman> after rebooting my server system, /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is set to 0
[09:03] <qman> what can I do so that it's 1 by default?
[09:12] <qman> nevermind, I found it
[09:12] <qman> option in /etc/sysctl.conf
[09:41] <Paul_UK> hey all, i've got 2 interfaces, eth0 dhcp eth1 static.  eth0 shows up fine in ifconfig, whilst eth1 doesnt, i've configured it as per http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn-lamp-server-setup.html for the network interface, why wouldnt it start up?
[09:43] <qman> run ifconfig -a eth1
[09:43] <qman> err
[09:43] <qman> ifconfig eth1
[09:43] <Paul_UK> shows up everything apart from inet addr:
[09:44] <qman> the broadcast/network and all that is correct?
[09:44] <Paul_UK> yeah
[09:44] <qman> then, open up /etc/network/interfaces and double check that you have the "address x.x.x.x" spelled correctly
[09:44] <Paul_UK> i do
[09:45] <qman> can you show me all relevant info to eth1 from that file?
[09:45] <Paul_UK> sure 1 sec
[09:46] <Paul_UK> http://rafb.net/p/Q1F1r432.html
[09:47] <qman> correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't that be "auto eth0" and "auto eth1"
[09:48] <qman> otherwise looks correct
[09:48] <Paul_UK> im new to linux.  so i presumed that auth mean auto start it.  but i can take it out.
[09:49] <Paul_UK> wait, sorry my mind must be wandering
[09:49] <qman> mine all say "auto"
[09:49] <Paul_UK> its auto eth1
[09:49] <qman> oh, ok
[09:49] <qman> if you run "sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0", does the interface accept the address?
[09:50] <qman> err
[09:50] <qman> eth1, in your case
[09:50] <qman> sorry
[09:50] <Paul_UK> yeah it does
[09:51] <qman> then, other than simple typographical error, I don't see any reason for it to not be working
[09:51] <Paul_UK> :) well the other error that I had, which was the dhcp server not working, well thats now working.  so im also at a loss why the eth1 isnt starting up
[09:51] <qman> if you run "/etc/init.d/networking restart", does it stay broken?
[09:52] <qman> or
[09:52] <Paul_UK> no its fine now
[09:52] <qman> sudo ifdown eth1; sudo ifup eth1
[09:52] <Paul_UK> as in, not broken
[09:52] <qman> ok
[09:52] <Paul_UK> yeap its ok
[09:52] <Paul_UK> let me reboot and see what happens
[09:53] <qman> ok
[09:53] <Paul_UK> no, dhcp server failed on startup and i presume eth1 didnt start
[09:53] <Paul_UK> yeah eth1 is down
[09:54] <Paul_UK> and messages shows nothing
[09:56] <qman> hmm
[09:56] <qman> and if you run ifconfig eth1, does it have everything filled out except the 
[09:56] <qman> IP, or is it just not configured
[09:56] <Paul_UK> it has everything except the IP
[09:57] <Paul_UK> :)))))))))
[09:57] <Paul_UK> well apart from that, i managed to get LTSP working fine.
[09:58] <qman> if you set the IP manually with ifconfig, then attempt to restart dhcpd, what happens?
[09:58] <qman> or whichever dhcp server you're using
[09:58] <Paul_UK> well im setting the IP manually and then I am starting dhcp manually
[09:59] <qman> did you start dhcp with the init script, or with something along the lines of "dhcpd &"
[09:59] <Paul_UK> init script
[09:59] <qman> ok
[09:59] <Paul_UK> sh dhcp3-server start
[09:59] <Paul_UK> to be honest, im running in a vmware environment and im not entirely convinced that ubuntu server actually works properly.
[10:00] <qman> does that dhcp server create a script in /etc/init.d/ ?
[10:00] <Paul_UK> which script?
[10:00] <qman> I'm not really familiar with that dhcp server, I use dhcpd on mine
[10:00] <qman> and my init script is /etc/init.d/dhcp
[10:01] <qman> so your server is in a virtual machine?
[10:01] <Paul_UK> yeah
[10:01] <qman> is eth1 connected to anything?
[10:01] <Paul_UK> all i have here is dhcp3-server
[10:01] <Paul_UK> yeah
[10:02] <Paul_UK> this is a clean install of ubuntu server
[10:03] <Paul_UK> what bugs me alot, is that it stops at running local boot scripts and doesnt show the logon screen
[10:03] <qman> is all the traffic on that virtual link from the 192.168.0.0 network?
[10:03] <Paul_UK> yeah
[10:03] <qman> my server shows the logon prompt, but then continues to run more services
[10:03] <qman> so it clutters the screen
[10:03] <Paul_UK> yeah, that is what i would be usually expecting
[10:03] <qman> pressing enter gives you a fresh prompt
[10:04] <Paul_UK> yeah i press enter and then i get a prompt
[10:04] <qman> I'm not sure why they have it set that way, but it doesn't have any side effects, besides the annoying screen output
[10:05] <qman> I'm fairly sure it's the order of the services in the rc scripts, but I don't have a deep knowledge of them, so I couldn't say what exactly to do to change it
[10:06] <qman> but as far as the IP, that's a really unusual behavior
[10:06] <qman> especially since setting manually with ifconfig works
[10:06] <qman> my guess is one of your services or startup scripts is unsetting the IP
[10:06] <qman> after /etc/network/interfaces sets it
[10:06] <Paul_UK> i just dont get it, in the messages it shows eth0 being up and eth1 just being installed
[10:06] <qman> have a look at /var/log/messages
[10:07] <qman> I mean, the interfaces file you showed is correct, the only reason it wouldn't work is if there was a typo in it
[10:08] <Paul_UK> agreed, i've checked it a dozen time.s
[10:09] <qman> this is mine: http://rafb.net/p/Vy3NcS88.html
[10:10] <qman> and that's a real system
[10:10] <qman> it's my router/firewall
[10:11] <Paul_UK> no commented out the other lines and still no joy
[10:12] <Paul_UK> fresh install no LAMP and no DNS.
[10:13] <qman> that's really strange
[10:13] <qman> I wonder if it's a virtual machine glitch, or what
[10:14] <Paul_UK> not sure, but this will go on a real machine once the concept has been proven, so im not worried (yet)
[10:14] <Paul_UK> just want to say, thanks for your help, now i have to go and configure ltsp.. 
[10:15] <qman> yeah, sorry it still doesn't quite work
[10:15] <Paul_UK> its cool, i've written down the notes and thats good enough for me :)
[10:15] <qman> I guess just to get it working, you could add a late startup script to set it manually
[10:15] <qman> then restart dhcp
[10:16] <Paul_UK> its ok, trust me.  after the proof of concept has been done, the vm is deleted :)
[10:16] <Paul_UK> and the server will just be dhcp and ltsp, nothing else.
[10:17] <Paul_UK> ok gotta jet.. cya l8r :)
