[12:30] <kwizard> hey guys can anyone remember the command to install an IP address like to eth0:4 for example
[12:39] <lamont`> kwizard: ip addr add 1.2.3.4/24 dev eth0 label eth0:4
[12:40] <lamont`> Nafallo: damn bosses, anyway
[01:24] <dho_ragus> kwizard: `ifconfig eth0:1 10.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0` works for me.  the man page doesn't say anything about "dev" or "label" switches.
[01:24] <dho_ragus> kwizard: that might be solaris
[01:24] <dho_ragus> kwizard: or bsd...
[01:25] <mathiaz> lamont` gave the configuration line for /etc/network/interfaces
[01:26] <mathiaz> dho_ragus mentionned the command to setup the interface manually.
[01:26] <dho_ragus> man, i gotta fix my colors.  i keep misreading convos.
[01:26] <mathiaz> kwizard: so if you want to keep the configuration, you should add the line to /etc/network/interfaces
[01:27] <mathiaz> kwizard: and then use the ifdown/ifup commands to bring down/up your network interfaces.
[01:28] <dho_ragus> is there no openldap room?
[01:29] <dho_ragus> i'm trying to hook up some services in linux with an AD via LDAP and can't find a room relating to ldap...
[01:34] <lamont`> ifconfig is old-skool.
[01:34] <lamont`> iproute (/sbin/ip) is part of ubuntu-minimal for a reason
[01:35] <lamont`> ifconfig syntax makes my brain hurt
[01:35] <lamont`> dho_ragus: (and ifconfig != ip)
[01:36] <lamont`> mathiaz: and that's not what you want in interfaces, unless you want to stick an 'up' in front of it and put it on the eth0 stanza
[01:36] <lamont`> for that matter, you don't even need the label unless you have some app that needs it...
[01:36] <mathiaz> lamont`: yeah.. I just realized what I wrote...
[01:36] <lamont`> np
[01:42] <dho_ragus> geez, i need a nap or something...
[01:43] <dho_ragus> totally missed the mark on that ip question
[02:00] <CodemasterMM> hey guys, i have a few broken packages, is there any way i can fix them (obviously, without using synaptic)
[02:06] <lamont`> define "broken"
[02:07] <CodemasterMM> well, purge removed samba and i went to reinstall it
[02:07] <CodemasterMM> and basically, this is what i get - http://pastebin.com/d6f1855e3
[02:08] <lamont`> hrm... does dpkg --reinstall /var/cache/apt/archives/samba_3.0.24-2ubuntu1.2_i386.deb do any better?
[02:08] <lamont`> (assuming i386)
[02:08] <CodemasterMM> yup, it's i386
[02:08] <CodemasterMM> let me try
[02:09] <lamont`> assuming it doesn't, (as root) sh -x /etc/init.d/samba start
[02:09] <lamont`> and see what that shows being the reason for the failure
[02:09] <lamont`> could just be that samba needs to be properly configured
[02:10] <CodemasterMM> lamont`: yeah, i purge/removed the darn thing though
[02:10] <lamont`> purge? or just remove?
[02:10] <CodemasterMM> purged, then removed
[02:11] <lamont`> uh... purge removes, so remove should have complained that it wasn't installed.
[02:11] <CodemasterMM> yeah it did
[02:11] <CodemasterMM> i just did remove to humor myself and double-check
[02:11] <lamont`> then do it without the 'reinstall'?
[02:11] <CodemasterMM> ok
[02:11] <lamont`> in any case, must run before my family kills me, or eats dinner without me.
[02:12] <CodemasterMM> :)
[03:16] <ryanakca> Hmm. Can someone running a courier-imap server check for the existence of /etc/courier/share/index ?
[04:21] <dthacker> ryanakca: don't have it.
[04:25] <ryanakca> dthacker: hmm. nevermind, I thought it was 'required' but 'missing in the packages' due to Aug 22 20:49:05 groupware imapd: /etc/courier/shared/index: No such file or directory
[04:26] <ryanakca> but the user creates it only if they want shared mailboxes
[04:26] <dthacker> ryanakca: what's your definition of a shared mailbox?
[04:32] <ryanakca> dthacker: at least that's what I gleamed from the article, many users access one mail box, so I guess many users could have their personal inboxes, but also have access to a 'group' inbox.
[04:33] <dthacker> ah, ok.  I don't have any set up like that.
[05:21] <kshah> anyone here using DimDim?
[05:56] <pschulz01> kshah: No
[05:57] <kshah> webconferencing is lame
[09:21] <kraut> moin
[11:57] <dballester> hi to all
[11:57] <dballester> do you have inputs from other users about problems with scsi tape drivers?
[11:57] <dballester> with feisty?
[12:06] <dballester> here is relevant info http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34772/
[02:49] <andy_sk> anybody here?
[02:49] <ScottK> Yes
[02:49] <andy_sk> :-)
[02:50] <andy_sk> sorry, i cannot obligate users to use squid...
[02:50] <andy_sk> squid works but you can non use it? may you help me?
[02:50] <andy_sk> what shall i google...?
[02:50] <Kamping_Kaiser> andy_sk, whats up?
[02:50] <Kamping_Kaiser> or specifically, whats not working?
[02:51] <andy_sk> if you do not set proxz in ie or firefox, it works as well... :-(
[02:51] <andy_sk> but?
[02:51] <Kamping_Kaiser> andy_sk, flip port 80 into squid on your gateway with iptables
[02:52] <Kamping_Kaiser> its what i do anyway :)
[02:52] <andy_sk> hmhmh... could you give me exactly the command with iptables??? pls
[02:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> # Lifted directly from squid-cache link above
[02:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
[02:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> # Copied from both (independantly):                                            #
[02:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> # http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200504/0575.html and     #
[02:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> # From debian-administraton.org - somewhere                                    #
[02:54] <Kamping_Kaiser> eth0=your in device, --to-port=your proxy port - squid is 8123 by default iirc (8080 is dansguardian)
[02:54] <andy_sk> this onlz line will solve???
[02:54] <andy_sk> thanks, i will try...
[02:54] <andy_sk> :-)
[02:55] <Kamping_Kaiser> andy_sk, pm me your email address, i'll send you something to look at
[02:55] <Kamping_Kaiser> andy_sk, specifically, a fairly basic script i use for firewalling. i'd give you the full version, but i dont have it handy atm :|
[02:56] <andy_sk> ok: andycom@szm.sk
[02:56] <andy_sk> thansk!
[02:58] <Kamping_Kaiser> hm... i think i'll attach the file, its getting nasty line wrapping
[03:01] <andy_sk> to make it work forever i should insert it into /etc/iptables.up.rules??? ..i think
[03:01] <Kamping_Kaiser> sent off.
[03:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> look in my email.
[03:04] <andy_sk> waiting to receive...
[03:10] <andy_sk> sorry but i have not received nothing
[03:12] <Kamping_Kaiser> hm.
[03:13] <Kamping_Kaiser> do you have a spamfilter or something? its sent. . unless thats not your email...?
[03:14] <andy_sk> no, it is... :-( pls try forward to vranic@orangemail.sk...
[03:17] <Kamping_Kaiser> resent. give it a bit then check
[03:24] <andy_sk> I am afraid there is something wrong our mail... :-( impossible that two of my accounts are wrong...
[03:25] <andy_sk> sorry, now receive on the first mail...
[03:25] <andy_sk> inet is not too fast now :-(
[04:47] <lousygarua> PHP reports weird timezones on apache. I created a symlink /etc/timezone to the right timezone needed. restarted apache, still wrong. I checked `date` but it gave the old timezone. am i doing something stupid?
[04:48] <soren> lousygarua: You're likely to get a better response on #php or something like that.
[04:49] <lousygarua> soren: regarding changing the timezone - what i did is correct?
[04:50] <soren> lousygarua: I don't think so. I also don't quite remember how php goes about determining timezone stuff.
[04:50] <gamble6x> lousygarua: is the timezone correct on the system itself?
[04:51] <lousygarua> gamble6x: no, that's where my prob is. it IS /etc/timezone, right?
[04:53] <gamble6x> should be.  I bet there's a dpkg-reconfigure command to take care of your problem.
[04:53] <gamble6x> but I don't have it off the top of my head.  1 sec.
[04:54] <lousygarua> it's "localtime"
[04:54] <lousygarua> not "timezone"
[04:54] <lousygarua> or whatever i invented
[04:55] <lousygarua> /etc/localtime - thanks anyway :)
[04:55] <gamble6x> cool.
[05:58] <leonel> would be great  if   http://gnu.wildebeest.org/diary-man-di/?p=37   gets  in  main
[06:04] <mralphabet> leonel: what is icedtea?
[06:04] <leonel> mralphabet: http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/Main_Page
[06:06] <mralphabet> leonel: interesting, thanks
[10:16] <ryanakca> lamont`: Hi, I'm currently setting up an eGroupWare server for Kubuntu Devel, and since you're the local postfix guru, I've been forwarded to you. Umm, Whenever you have a chance, could you please take a look at https://groupware.kubuntu.co.uk/~ryan/plan.html and give me a few pointers as to what I would need?
[10:41] <lamont> [ ] 	 Don't bounce mail when the user reaches his quota limit
[10:41] <lamont> ryanakca: then what are you going to do with it?
[10:42] <lamont> mailbox_size_limit=512M (I think), or 512000000 failing that, or make it really 2^29
[10:44] <lamont> much manual labor for the last 90 minutes
[10:51] <ScottK> lamont: I had counseled him on not being a backscatter source.  I may have gone to far.
[10:52] <lamont> heh
[10:52] <ScottK> That and the usual VDA patch doesn't meet the Postfix quality standards lecture.
[10:53] <lamont> VDA?
[10:53] <lamont> that's the "unnecessary" quota-hack?
[10:53] <ScottK> That's the one.
[10:53] <lamont> mailbox_size_limit does such a nice job, though...
[10:54] <ScottK> ryanakca: ^^^
[10:58] <ryanakca> ah, thanks :D
[10:59] <ryanakca> lamont: and as for the email/password authentication?
[10:59] <ryanakca> (for all hosts other than localhost?)
[10:59] <lamont> figuring that out is on my todo list... :-)
[10:59] <lamont> mind you, not for this week or next... :(
[11:00] <ryanakca> :(
[11:01] <ryanakca> Hmm. So, untill then, I guess I should just make it accept all email from foo@groupware.k.c.u ?
[11:01] <ryanakca> (even though someone could forge an address?)
[11:04] <ScottK> ryanakca: If the senders are authenticating with sasl, then you can use reject_authenticated_sender_login_mismatch
[11:29] <gaten> I'm having trouble with the mysql-server package. It doesn't install a /etc/init.d/mysql file. i've tried to remove and purge it, then reinstall it but no go. any help?
[11:35] <mathiaz> gaten: which package are you trying install ? mysql-server or mysql-server-5.0
[11:36] <gaten> mysql-server
[11:36] <mathiaz> gaten: the init script comes with mysql-server-5.0
[11:36] <mathiaz> gaten: mysql-server is just a meta-package depending on mysql-server-5.0
[11:36] <mathiaz> gaten: try to (re)install mysql-server-5.0.
[11:37] <gaten> mathiaz: yeah im trying that, thanks. are all meta packages like that? just core binaries and such?
[11:37] <gaten> mathiaz: invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/mysql not found.
[11:39] <mathiaz> gaten: mysql-server doesn't have any files.
[11:39] <mathiaz> gaten: it's just a package that depends on mysql-server-5.0.
[11:39] <gaten> mathiaz: ok. well that didn't work anyway, thats the error above apt-get throws at me. ive seen this error on the forums, no solution has been posted
[11:40] <mathiaz> gaten: did you remove the init script ?
[11:41] <gaten> mathiaz: yeah, a long time ago when i set up the first chroot. now im trying to set up another chroot, but i want the install all fat and happy before i move forward
