| bje | ip_conntrack.ko is probably not from a 2.6.15-28-386 kernel | 12:31 |
| Innatech | hrm. I kinda figured it would be considering I have a different directory structure for other kernels. | 12:35 |

| CraigYounkins | so i'm using 7.04 server and mdadm for software raid 1 over 3 drives. When i physically fail a drive, ubuntu will not start, stating "mdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 2 drives (out of 3), but not started" . It appears this is related to the flags it's passing to mdadm to assemble the array. I made modifications to rcS.d, but I can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas? | 03:08 |
| mralphabet | CraigYounkins: booting off the array? is it raid 5? Last I heard, mdadm had difficulty booting off raid 5 | 03:09 |
| CraigYounkins | the first 2 partitions (/boot and /) are raid 1 | 03:09 |
| CraigYounkins | and third partition is a swap (non RAID) and the fourth is for RAID5 | 03:10 |
| mralphabet | CraigYounkins: odd, I know I've booted off depracated arrays before | 03:12 |
| CraigYounkins | Yeah I mean the OS and /boot is all on each drive. it should be able to boot with only 1 of the 3. It's something with the way ubuntu is assembling the array. as you can see above, it won't "Start" the array even though it has 2 of the 3 drives. | 03:13 |
| mralphabet | is this holding up booting? | 03:13 |
| mralphabet | or just not mounting the raid 5 | 03:14 |
| CraigYounkins | it only boots fully with all 3. with only 2 it prints the message above and dumps me into ash without mounting any of the arrays. | 03:14 |
| CraigYounkins | i might try the more server-stable Debian | 03:15 |

| [miles] | morning | 09:43 |
| [miles] | is anyone using Landscape yet? | 09:43 |
| jbrouhard | landscape ? | 09:49 |
| [miles] | yep | 09:54 |
| [miles] | http://cetico.org/tech/2006/05/ubuntu-landscape-somewhat-announced.html | 09:54 |
| [miles] | http://www.cetico.org/nwu | 09:56 |
| [miles] | mmm interesting also | 09:56 |
| [miles] | cos I've got quite a few boxes I'm admining, this would be handy | 09:57 |
| soren | [miles] : It was only just announced yesterday. I doubt it has seen widespread adoption yet :) | 09:59 |
| [miles] | jeje | 09:59 |
| [miles] | well, just check out this NWU now also | 10:00 |
| [miles] | soren: do u know if Support from Can. is per-box or as unlimited boxes, per yeaar? | 10:00 |
| soren | [miles] : Per box, but I'm sure you can get a good deal if you've got many machines. | 10:01 |
| jbrouhard | eh.. i'm not sure i like nwu, but I use nagios to keep track of servers tbh | 10:01 |
| soren | [miles] : Landscape is quite a bit more than nwu, as far as I can tell. | 10:01 |
| [miles] | jbrouhard: nwu is for updates, nagios is to monitor | 10:02 |
| [miles] | ok thanks soren | 10:02 |
| [miles] | a Mono based GUI would be nice | 10:03 |
| [miles] | for NWU | 10:03 |
| jbrouhard | meh | 10:03 |
| jbrouhard | a simple cron script would solve the updates ;) | 10:03 |
| [miles] | jbrouhard: yes, but also you can drive a mini or a ferrari | 10:04 |
| jbrouhard | Nah | 10:04 |
| [miles] | personally, I'd rather drive the ferrari | 10:04 |
| jbrouhard | those cars are too small :) | 10:04 |
| [miles] | jeje | 10:04 |
| jbrouhard | I like my pickup | 10:04 |
| [miles] | need to find more info out on NWU and see if it's stable etc | 10:04 |
| jbrouhard | That and my '69 dodge Charger :) | 10:04 |
| jbrouhard | nwu does sound like a decent application | 10:04 |
| jbrouhard | tho why is nagios broken in ubuntu ? i keep getting package dependency problems (php4) | 10:05 |
| [miles] | try Zabbix | 10:05 |
| [miles] | we're running it here | 10:05 |
| [miles] | added SMS alerts etc | 10:05 |
| [miles] | been running since b4 xmas | 10:05 |
| jbrouhard | Oh? | 10:05 |
| jbrouhard | SMS Alerts? | 10:05 |
| jbrouhard | nice | 10:05 |
| jbrouhard | how easy is it to install ? | 10:06 |
| [miles] | very | 10:06 |
| jbrouhard | is it in debian repos as well ? | 10:06 |
| [miles] | dunno, I built it from source | 10:06 |
| [miles] | right, coffee time | 10:06 |
| [miles] | bbiab | 10:06 |
| soren | jbrouhard: I've done sms alerts with nagios, too. | 10:06 |
| soren | jbrouhard: Which version of Ubuntu are you on? | 10:07 |
| jbrouhard | heh.. it only exists in ubuntu, not debian upstream. hah | 10:08 |
| jbrouhard | Right now, I'm using Kubuntu Feisty Fawn. my servers currently run Debian Sarge | 10:08 |
| jbrouhard | i'm planning a major migration when we move our colocation servers from Portland, OR to Kansas City Missouri in the next month or two. the New servers will have Ubuntu-server | 10:09 |
| soren | jbrouhard: I'm just curious about why you say Nagios is broken? It works fine for me (Edgy and Gutsy systems). | 10:11 |
| jbrouhard | one monment | 10:11 |
| jbrouhard | lemme recreate what i did | 10:11 |
| jbrouhard | where's ubuntu paste bin ? | 10:12 |
| soren | !pastebin | 10:12 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 10:12 |
| jbrouhard | Thanks | 10:13 |
| jbrouhard | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30877/ | 10:13 |
| soren | jbrouhard: What if you remove nagat from the equation? | 10:15 |
| jbrouhard | Lemme try that | 10:16 |
| jbrouhard | That worked | 10:16 |
| jbrouhard | whats up with nagat ? | 10:16 |
| soren | That was on Feisty, was it? | 10:16 |

| Nafallo | hmm. another thought. do bacula in Ubuntu has a maintainer who takes care about security in it? ;-) | 01:34 |
| Nafallo | I see it's in Universe ;-) | 01:34 |
| soren | Nafallo: I don't remember how fine-grained you can restrict access to do partial backups, but if it's sane, you could make it so that users only can restore from/to the server where the backup originated. | 01:35 |
| Nafallo | yea, but I've ran backuppc at home for the last years. backup my ex-girlfriends server via the darknet, and if I would need to restore a backup from my server to hers files owned by me here would be owned by her there since both are UID 1000 ;-) | 01:37 |
| Nafallo | I'd like to avoid that if possible. | 01:37 |
| soren | Nafallo: I honestly don't remember if bacula uses uid, usernames or both... | 01:39 |
| Nafallo | hmm. we don't have a maintainer for it in Ubuntu it seems. | 01:40 |
| Nafallo | if I decide to run it we will have though :-P | 01:40 |

| kshahnjd | is Mailman like squirrel, or it just the interface portion? | 06:38 |

| === roman_ [n=roman@207.245.216.4] has joined #ubuntu-server | ||

| Nafallo | you can't? | 06:45 |
| Nafallo | why not? | 06:45 |
| kshahnjd | I misunderstood what each component was responsible for, i was asking stupid questions | 06:45 |
| asisak | kshahnjd: I guess it is either exim4+mailman or postfix+mailman | 06:45 |
| kshahnjd | I just need a MTA and a MDA, right? so that's Postfix and Dovecot? | 06:46 |
| asisak | maybe | 06:46 |
| kshahnjd | I kinda wanted a web interface like squirrel's too | 06:46 |
| Nafallo | depends on what the box is supposed to be doing | 06:47 |
| asisak | you can use squirrelmail | 06:47 |
| Nafallo | roundcube seems a nice webinterface for IMAP btw | 06:47 |
| asisak | but both exim4 & postfix can act as an MDA as well | 06:47 |
| asisak | IIRC | 06:47 |
| kshahnjd | I'm not use to having a separate transfer agent and delivery agent as they call it, whenever I'm installed an email daemon before, it's always just one piece of software | 06:47 |
| kshahnjd | not multiple | 06:47 |
| asisak | yep | 06:48 |
| kshahnjd | and the postfix installation was a bitch | 06:48 |
| Nafallo | ehrm | 06:48 |
| Nafallo | apt-get install postfix, done | 06:48 |
| kshahnjd | the config according to the server guide is what i followed, maybe I didn't need too | 06:48 |
| asisak | I use exim4 that is very simple (because it is the default) | 06:49 |
| kshahnjd | no web interface though? | 06:49 |
| asisak | but configuring either postfix or qmail should not be very difficult | 06:49 |
| ScottK | It's not the default in Ubuntu | 06:49 |
| Nafallo | well, I always choose to let my conf be and do it by hand anyway. | 06:49 |
| asisak | oh, not any more | 06:49 |
| === ScottK too | ||
| asisak | I thought it has been | 06:49 |
| ScottK | It's default in Debian. | 06:50 |
| Nafallo | ScottK: postfix is still the preferred MTA, no? | 06:50 |
| ScottK | Yes | 06:50 |
| ScottK | Not Exim | 06:50 |
| asisak | okay, nice to learn this | 06:50 |
| Nafallo | :-) | 06:50 |
| === asisak uses exim4 | ||
| asisak | on both debian and ubuntu boxen | 06:50 |
| kshahnjd | I don't understand why the MTA and MDA are separate, fyi i'm new to linux | 06:50 |
| === ScottK says asisak is welcome to Exim4 | ||
| asisak | they are two separate concepts / interfaces / tasks / ... | 06:51 |
| asisak | not two separate pieces of software (in the case of exim / exim4 / postfix) at least | 06:51 |
| ScottK | kshahnjd: If you want to use Postfix and are new to Linux/Postfix, I STRONGLY suggest you run out an buy "The Book Of Postfix". | 06:51 |
| ScottK | Postfix can be an MDA, but is limited. Depending on your needs you may want another like Dovecot or Courier. | 06:52 |
| kshahnjd | ScottK: I have no reason to use one daemon over another yet, I would like to use something with a web interface though like squirrel | 06:52 |
| asisak | Book The Postfix Of | 06:52 |
| asisak | you should take care of the postfix notation :D | 06:52 |
| kshahnjd | So i guess i'm looking for a recommendation | 06:52 |
| asisak | kshahnjd: squirrel is totally independent of MTA / MDA | 06:53 |
| asisak | it is a MUA | 06:53 |
| asisak | (for the sake of TLAs) | 06:53 |
| kshahnjd | I see | 06:53 |
| kshahnjd | so what do you use? | 06:53 |
| kshahnjd | for MTA/ MDA? | 06:54 |
| kshahnjd | u said Exim before but that is just the MTA | 06:54 |
| === asisak uses Exim4 | ||
| === ScottK uses Postfix, but doesn't have complex needs. | ||
| asisak | it is also MDA | 06:54 |
| ScottK | for an MDA | 06:54 |
| ScottK | kshahnjd: Get the book and start with Postfix. | 06:54 |
| kshahnjd | oh, that's where my confusion is, the server docs are lying to me | 06:54 |
| ScottK | Get that working and add pieces from there. | 06:54 |
| === Nafallo uses postfix+pgsql+dovecot+sasl2 etc... | ||
| ScottK | kshahnjd: The server docs cover a particular set of use cases that may or may not match your needs. That is not "lying" to you. | 06:55 |
| === ScottK sits down. | ||
| asisak | wow, Nafallo, do you administer large server(s)? | 06:56 |
| Nafallo | coNP: that's my homeserver with several of my domains on it. will be migrating my new job to something like it ASAP though. will add a spamfilter and roundcube though. | 06:58 |
| === coNP uses exim4+spamassassin+clamav+dovecot | ||
| coNP | wow, I also want to try roundcube | 06:58 |
| kshahnjd | already, I gotta disable postfix then and install exim and squirrel | 06:58 |
| kshahnjd | *alrighty | 06:58 |
| === Nafallo is paranoid enough to use postfix :-) | ||
| coNP | do you think exim4 is vulnerable? | 06:59 |
| kshahnjd | fmi, is Postfix also an MTA/MDA then too? | 06:59 |
| Nafallo | I think using software that's written with security in mind all the way is the sane choice. | 07:00 |
| Nafallo | atleast for servers | 07:00 |
| coNP | sure | 07:00 |
| coNP | so you recommend postfix? | 07:00 |
| Nafallo | yes | 07:00 |
| coNP | I might have a look at it | 07:00 |
| coNP | do you have any performace comparisons, btw? | 07:00 |
| Nafallo | no. not really. always used postfix and those damn beasts are configurable to the extent comparisons are not comparable :-) | 07:01 |
| coNP | you are righty right | 07:02 |
| === Nafallo ponders how he wants mail to flow from this box | ||
| coNP | hmm? | 07:04 |
| Nafallo | it's just a backupbox | 07:06 |
| Nafallo | still need an MTA | 07:06 |
| === Nafallo goes with loopback-only for now | ||
| coNP | oh I seem to see | 07:07 |
| === asisak [n=conp@unaffiliated/conp] has joined #ubuntu-server | ||
| kshahnjd | for real world purposes what is the advantage for a small operation using IMAP over POP? | 07:16 |
| === coNP likes IMAP because it is easier to make backups on the server side | ||
| kshahnjd | IMAP is generally considered more secure too? | 07:17 |
| coNP | I guess POP3S and IMAPS can be secure, but neither POP3 nor IMAP | 07:17 |
| kshahnjd | They also want me to specify which mailbox to use for dovecot, as in maildir or mbox, and the link they provide to the advantages of either is broken | 07:19 |
| kshahnjd | do u prefer one over the other? | 07:19 |
| ScottK | With pop3 your users are responsible for backups and if they lose stuff, oh well. WIth IMAP, you have to do it and if you lose their stuff, not good. | 07:25 |
| ScottK | IMAP takes a lot more server space. | 07:25 |
| coNP | ScottK: yep, this is the another side of what I said | 07:25 |
| Nafallo | with IMAP mail is on the server, so you can basically reach your mbox from any MUA with Internet access :-) | 07:38 |
| Nafallo | or rather maildir if I was to decide. | 07:39 |
| coNP | it is transparent | 07:39 |
| coNP | I mean from the MUA side | 07:39 |
| ScottK | Only if you have high bandwidth and a reliable internet connection. | 07:41 |
| kshahnjd | I guess i'm maildir then | 07:53 |

| kshahnjd | apt-get install squirrelmail :) ? | 08:07 |
| kshahnjd | (new to linux) | 08:08 |
| leonel | enable universe in case you haven't | 08:08 |
| leonel | and apt-get will do the magic | 08:08 |
| kshahnjd | universe? | 08:08 |

| kshahnjd | did I already do this when I commented my cdrom repository? | 08:10 |
| kshahnjd | I remember I did not uncomment the backports line... | 08:11 |
| === tck [n=tck@194.125.76.93] has joined #ubuntu-server | ||
| leonel | check if you have lines like this in /etc/apt/sources.list : | 08:11 |
| kshahnjd | leonel: yeah, we're talking about the same file, the only thing I've done to that file since install was comment the cdrom lines | 08:12 |
| leonel | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty universe | 08:12 |
| leonel | and | 08:12 |
| leonel | deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-security universe | 08:12 |
| leonel | 08:12 | |
| leonel | in case you are using Ubuntu Feisty | 08:12 |
| ScottK | In Feisty for new installs Universe was enabled by default, so it may not need to be added. | 08:13 |
| kshahnjd | i have those lines | 08:13 |
| kshahnjd | so just apt-get | 08:14 |
| leonel | yes | 08:14 |
| kshahnjd | leonel: so I installed postfix, squirrelmail and dovecot, but i have yet to specify a user or an admin | 08:17 |
| kshahnjd | is the root user of the system automatically assigned a mailbox? | 08:17 |
| Nafallo | I think uid 1000 gets roots mail by default | 08:18 |
| leonel | the "admin" user is the user that you created when installed ubuntu | 08:18 |
| kshahnjd | if I create new users on this box, will they too be given a mailbox? or is this like in windows where i have to specify new users independently of their relationship with the box | 08:18 |
| leonel | can be anyway you want | 08:19 |
| leonel | the simplest way is as you've done | 08:19 |
| leonel | and the users are system users | 08:19 |
| leonel | I mean you add users to ubuntu with useradd or adduser | 08:19 |
| leonel | and they will have a mailbox | 08:19 |
| kshahnjd | leonel: yeah, thats what i mean, users and system users doesn't seem to have a distinction in linux | 08:19 |
| kshahnjd | which i like btw :) | 08:20 |
| leonel | or you can have your mail users appart from the system users | 08:20 |
| kshahnjd | i see | 08:20 |
| leonel | as you want to have the | 08:20 |
| leonel | them | 08:20 |
| kshahnjd | how do i list all users? (logged on or not?) | 08:20 |
| kshahnjd | or can you point me to a man on user control? | 08:21 |
| leonel | but just installing postfix and dovecot your system users will be mail users | 08:21 |
| leonel | with who you can see you logged users in the system | 08:21 |
| leonel | not in the mail | 08:21 |
| leonel | since the mail system connects checks mail download and logout | 08:22 |
| leonel | you have to few users logged at the same time | 08:22 |
| kshahnjd | got it, thx | 08:23 |
| leonel | you can do a : | 08:23 |
| leonel | sudo tail -f /var/log/mail.log | 08:23 |
| leonel | to see all the mail activity on your server | 08:23 |
| kshahnjd | i use to check my mail from the command line using pine | 08:25 |
| kshahnjd | and i know i can install it here easily, but i wanted to know what the default command line mail reader is | 08:26 |
| leonel | you can use mutt or mailx | 08:26 |
| kshahnjd | neither are installed by default | 08:26 |
| leonel | sudo apt-get install mutt mailx | 08:27 |
| leonel | or you can install elinks | 08:27 |
| kshahnjd | no, i understand that, but why is the system telling me 'you have new mail' if there is no reader | 08:27 |
| kshahnjd | oh, it just sees the file in the directory, and alerts me, it doesn't care whether or not there is a reader installed natively | 08:27 |
| leonel | a textbased browser | 08:27 |
| leonel | yes | 08:27 |
| leonel | with elinks you can use your squirrelmail to see your mails | 08:28 |
| kshahnjd | if 'users' gives me the full list of people currently logged onto the system what gives me the list of all the accounts on the system? | 08:32 |

| kshahnjd | I have a server which will be hosting example.com in the near future sitting next to a laptop physically connected to a router which is not directly connected to the internet, is it possible/how can I configure bind on the server so it claims it is example.com and so that my laptop believes its claim? | 08:54 |
| mralphabet | server runs BIND or dnsmasq, laptop refers to server as it's dns authority | 08:55 |
| Innatech | ^ what he said. | 08:55 |
| mralphabet | laptop will believe anything the server tells it | 08:56 |
| Innatech | or just use a hosts file. | 08:56 |
| mralphabet | server says "I am microsoft.com! mwahahahaha!" | 08:56 |
| mralphabet | laptop says "okay!" | 08:56 |
| kshahnjd | laptop's gateway is not the server, it's a router though, no difference? does the server 'announce' / broadcast? | 08:57 |
| mralphabet | gateway and dns are two different things, and there are seperate spots for it in the laptop IP configuration | 08:57 |
| kshahnjd | well in my hosts file on my windows laptop, i can just specify that 192.168.1.98 is example.com i think.. | 08:58 |
| leonel | kshahnjd: if your nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf is the ip of your server wokrs | 08:58 |

| mathiaz | kshahnjd: available/enabled is specific to debian/ubuntu. | 10:04 |
| mathiaz | kshahnjd: site-available lists configuration files specific for each apache module that is installed. | 10:05 |
| kshahnjd | k | 10:05 |
| mathiaz | kshahnjd: site-enabled is a directory listing the modules that should be loaded. | 10:05 |
| kshahnjd | so which should I modify? | 10:05 |
| mathiaz | kshahnjd: site-enabled should only contain symlinks to site-available. | 10:05 |
| mathiaz | kshahnjd: have a look at the command a2enmod, a2dismod | 10:06 |
| Innatech | hrrm...I hadn't realized it was ubuntu specific. Shows you how much I'm using other distros lately. | 10:06 |
| kshahnjd | i used those commands before but now i don't remember for what | 10:06 |
| mathiaz | kshahnjd: which are used to enable/disable apache2 module. | 10:07 |
| kshahnjd | yeah, i see, so i can enable like gd or php5_mod, etc using them | 10:07 |
| kshahnjd | apache2ctl is like using /etc/init.d/apache2 but.. not exactly if i remember correctly | 10:08 |
| Creeture | kshahnjd: apache2ctl is shipped with apache2. /etc/init.d/apache2 is the Debian/Ubuntu init script wrapper that includes a lot of fixup for the platform. It calls apache2ctl to do the real work of starting/stopping apache2. | 10:15 |
| Creeture | As far as sites-enable/site-available is concerned, it's a simple concept. The "available" sites are available to be "enabled" into the config. | 10:16 |
| kshahnjd | i see, so init.d commands are just generally more comprehensive since they consider everything else that is connected to apache | 10:16 |
| kshahnjd | I see | 10:16 |
| kshahnjd | so when re/starting apache2 from the command line in ubuntu I receive a warning "could not reliably determine the servers fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName".. but I have specified ServerName in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default | 10:17 |
| Creeture | It tells you exactly the problem in that statement. Your /etc/hosts should contain a "127.0.0.1 localhost" line and also a "192.168.1.x myserver.example.com myserver" line | 10:20 |
| Creeture | And you can comment the ServerName line in your apache config. The only reason you'd need it there is if the ServerName is different than your hostname. | 10:21 |
| kshahnjd | oh wow... okay I see.. and is this /etc/hosts file historically the same exact thing as the windows /etc/hosts file? | 10:21 |
| kshahnjd | someone told me to disable the mod_uniqueid module to fix it and that did not sound right | 10:23 |
| kshahnjd | i'm still getting the error | 10:25 |
| kshahnjd | well, warning | 10:25 |

| Innatech | seems there's a lot that doesn't get any attention from SRU or backports. :( | 10:56 |
| ScottK | Innatech: For backports, if there is stuff that's been requested and tested, but not approved, let me know and I'll attend to it. | 10:57 |
| Nafallo | DOOH!!! | 10:57 |
| Nafallo | echo "$PGSQL_HOST:*:*:$DB_ADMIN:$DB_ADMIN_PSWD" > $DB_ADMIN_AUTHFILE | 10:57 |
| Innatech | ScottK: will do. I think someone metioned PHP a week or so ago, but I didn't go check on it. | 10:57 |
| Nafallo | like if postgresql even use an admin password? | 10:57 |
| ScottK | There is a php backport pending Innatech. It wasn't clear to me what the rdepends implications were. | 10:58 |
| === ScottK doesn't use php personally. | ||
| Innatech | ScottK: ah, very good. It didn't sound right to me that something like PHP wouldn't get attention--glad to hear that isn't the case (even if you don't use it! heh.) | 10:59 |
| ScottK | There are only a very few people who can approve backports and I think I'm the only one that's particularly interested in server stuff. | 10:59 |
| ScottK | Innatech: If you want to look at the bug and research the rdepends and the potential impacts, please comment on the bug and then ping me. | 11:00 |

| Innatech | I didn't realize. I'm using LTS widely on my and client's servers. I'd be happy to look into the PHP thing, although I'll likely have to wait a few days. I'm dealing with a physical migration of a client for most of the week. | 11:01 |
| Nafallo | stupid LTS... ;-) | 11:01 |
| Innatech | But LTS makes me happy! >sniff< | 11:02 |
| Nafallo | sounds like you haven't dealt with an uninstallable package most of your day then ;-9 | 11:02 |
| Nafallo | ;-) | 11:02 |
| Innatech | Oh, I've run into some of that. | 11:02 |
| === ScottK thinks it's stupid uninstallable package, not stupid LTS then. | ||

| kshahnjd | whats up with the #apache ppl hating on debian and ubuntu | 11:05 |
| kshahnjd | man | 11:05 |
| Innatech | Funny thing is that Quagga is fixed in newer verions, yet it's an SRU assignment. But, I'm sure wiser heads have their reasons. | 11:05 |
| ScottK | Innatech: What do you mean? | 11:06 |
| ScottK | jdong was right to reject the backport. | 11:06 |
| Innatech | ScottK: yeah, I gather that he was I just don't fully understand why. | 11:06 |
| ScottK | One of the rules that the Ubuntu Tech Board put on backports when they made it official was that we not backport for fixes that were SRU worthy. | 11:07 |
| ScottK | The reason is that -updates is enabled by default, while (for good reasons) -backports is not. | 11:07 |
| ScottK | If people could use the relatively easy backports process to bypass the SRU process, then fewer bug fix updates will get done. | 11:08 |
| Innatech | That makes good sense, but it doesn't seem that fixes that exist in backports are readily accepted by SRU. Or maybe SRU is just understaffed, I don't know. But I do keep running into problems that end in open SRU bugs. | 11:08 |
| ScottK | The idea with LTS, particularly, is to keep it stable, so just dumping in new version X to fix a bug is not a good plan. | 11:08 |
| Innatech | Stable is good---stable bugs, less good. | 11:08 |
| ScottK | Sure. | 11:09 |
| === Nafallo attempts to grab the source for bacula=edgy to try to backport for bacula=dapper so he can upload to dapper-updates | ||
| ScottK | Usually the roadblock for an SRU is testing. | 11:09 |
| Innatech | Not saying I could do any better--not only can I not code, but I'm not even that deft with packaging tools. | 11:09 |
| ScottK | Yes, but if you can test. | 11:09 |
| Innatech | Testing, yes, absolutely. | 11:09 |
| ScottK | That's actually the hardest part. | 11:09 |
| Nafallo | ScottK: ...right ;-) | 11:10 |
| Innatech | It'd be nice to find a way to give back, indeed. | 11:10 |
| Nafallo | depends on the problem :-) | 11:10 |
| Nafallo | gaah! | 11:10 |
| Nafallo | edgy uses dbcommon or what's it's name... | 11:10 |
| Nafallo | *sigh* | 11:10 |
| ScottK | if you enable dapper-proposed and see what updates are sitting there (don't install them all) you should find open SRU bugs saying what needs to be tested. | 11:10 |

| kshahnjd | i saw someone d/l a file from the command line and then use zxsf to decompress and extract | 11:13 |
| ivoks | for 6.06.2 we have to get support for newer e1000 and new 3ware sata raid controlers | 11:13 |
| coNP | ScottK: I was sure about that | 11:13 |
| kshahnjd | but i don't know what the command is for the d/l.. it isn't get, any ideas? | 11:13 |
| coNP | :D | 11:13 |
| Innatech | If you really want to get crazy you would run postgre in a VM, and pretend its on another host. Don't know how friendly that would be with Bacula, tho. | 11:13 |
| Innatech | *could | 11:13 |
| ivoks | Innatech: friendly | 11:14 |
| ivoks | bacula is very flexibile | 11:14 |
| Nafallo | I wonder if I should backport this whole postinst :-) | 11:15 |
| Nafallo | might even work... | 11:15 |
| ivoks | you can have director on one, storage on second, sql on third and console on forth computer | 11:15 |

| ivoks | but f isn't force | 11:36 |
| ivoks | it's --file | 11:36 |
| kshahnjd | i think the problem is that it's not writing the directories | 11:36 |
| Nafallo | aha | 11:36 |
| kshahnjd | so it doesn't write the files | 11:36 |
| ivoks | and if you use -fxvz it wouldn't work | 11:36 |
| ivoks | kshahnjd: it does if directory is archived | 11:37 |

| kshahnjd | well, afaik | 11:39 |
| kshahnjd | i'm new to linux so, and usually never go on irc, but have for the past week since i've started | 11:40 |
| Nafallo | I would be surprised if people on #ubuntu didn't use /bin/bash | 11:40 |
| ivoks | don't get us wrong, but this channel is for development and support for ubuntu-server related... we don't want it to become yet another #ubuntu - multipurpose support channel | 11:40 |
| kshahnjd | they do, i've asked there too, you're right, i'll move my venue :) | 11:40 |
| Nafallo | this channel is a bit of everything as it is already ;-) | 11:41 |

| ScottK | Not "giving up", "stopping work for now". | 11:43 |
| ivoks | you guys do realize that 6.06 lacks support for some very common server hardware? | 11:43 |
| ivoks | like new intel gigabit ethernet? | 11:43 |
| ivoks | new 3ware controlers | 11:43 |
| ivoks | and adding support for it is POC | 11:43 |
| ivoks | we should push some requests to kernel team | 11:44 |
| ivoks | we already have patches for some stuff | 11:44 |
| Nafallo | and they apply on dapper-git? | 11:45 |
| ivoks | ok... i have a feeling i'm alone with this problems :) | 11:45 |
| ivoks | yes | 11:45 |
| ivoks | and i use them daily | 11:45 |
| Nafallo | well, give them the URLs on the mailing list and see what they say then :-) | 11:46 |
| ivoks | i already did, but looks like i need backup :) | 11:46 |
| Nafallo | aha :-P | 11:46 |
| ivoks | today i've installed server, cdrom, raid controler and ethernet card weren't working | 11:47 |
| Nafallo | \o/ | 11:47 |
| ivoks | until 8.04, intel will release couple of MB which will be useless with dapper (some of them already are) for newcomers | 11:48 |
| ivoks | everything new with ICH8/ICH9, e1000, non-funcional on dapper | 11:49 |
| Nafallo | 8.04 isn't that far away though | 11:49 |
| ivoks | true, but not everybody have luxury of upgrade downtime | 11:50 |
| ivoks | some will stay on 6.06 untill EOL | 11:50 |
| Nafallo | hmm | 11:50 |
| ivoks | and on every new kernel, recompile of drivers is needed | 11:50 |
| Nafallo | but those people won't reboot for new kernels either? | 11:51 |
| ivoks | they will, one thing is kernel upgrade, something else is test-case of complete new distribution | 11:51 |
| ivoks | and upgrade process | 11:51 |
| Nafallo | right | 11:52 |
| Nafallo | ehrm | 11:52 |
| Nafallo | PGCMD="su -s /bin/sh $DB_ADMIN -c" | 11:52 |
| Nafallo | that should not work in Ubuntu, should it? | 11:52 |
| ivoks | bash instead of sh, just to be sure :) | 11:53 |
| Nafallo | sudo instead of su? | 11:53 |
| ivoks | lol, yeah, and that too :) | 11:53 |
| Nafallo | hmm. dpkg is root, so should work to use su to change to postgres I guess. | 11:54 |
| ivoks | right | 11:54 |
