[02:03] <fujin_> hi
[02:03] <fujin_> what does everyone use for an iptables init script?
[02:03] <fujin_> currently I just have a lame bash script which does like iptables -F input bla bla inserts all my rules
[02:03] <fujin_> but wanted something a bit better
[02:41] <osmosis> why does my /etc/motd  get overwritten all the time to the default?
[04:15] <stiv2k> help, something happened, ssh just went down like 10 minutes ago
[04:15] <stiv2k> on my server
[04:15] <stiv2k> im still logged into it from this one session but it will not open any new connections
[04:16] <stiv2k> i can ping the server and i can telnet on 22
[04:16] <stiv2k> restarting the service doesnt do anything
[04:23] <fujin_> checked your firewall rules?
[04:23] <stiv2k> i dont think its running a firewall, fujin_
[04:23] <fujin_> on a server???
[04:24] <stiv2k> fujin_: its behind a NAT
[04:24] <stiv2k> fujin_: iptables is installed im not sure if its running (i also dont remember installing it)
[04:25] <fujin_> well
[04:25] <fujin_> uh
[04:25] <stiv2k> what can i do?
[04:25] <fujin_> you said you tried restarting ssh?
[04:25] <stiv2k> yeah
[04:25] <fujin_> try stop ssh and kill any leftover sshd's
[04:25] <fujin_> could get risky lol
[04:26] <stiv2k> fujin_: how am i gonna be able to log back into it to start sshd again
[04:26] <fujin_> KVMoIP?
[04:26] <stiv2k> nope
[04:26] <fujin_> lol
[04:26] <fujin_> you're not then, I'd advise not doing that
[04:26] <fujin_> why not try reboot the box
[04:26] <stiv2k> i couldt
[04:26] <stiv2k> could
[04:26] <stiv2k> but would rather avoid it :P
[04:26] <stiv2k> i guess i can make a script to do it
[04:26] <stiv2k> like a simple bash script
[04:27] <fujin_> or do /etc/init.d/ssh stop && killall sshd && /etc/init.d/ssh start
[04:27] <stiv2k> yea
[04:28] <steve____> fujin_: that owned me
[04:28] <steve____> i still have access to webmin
[04:28] <steve____> should i try that
[04:29] <steve____> maybe restart networking /..\
[04:29] <fujin_> yeah
[04:29] <fujin_> did it start sshd back up?
[04:29] <steve____> i dont know
[04:29] <steve____> it kicked me out and i cant get back
[04:29] <steve____> ill telnet it to check
[04:29] <steve____> SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-8ubuntu1
[04:29] <fujin_> so what's it doing?
[04:29] <fujin_> not asking for a username?
[04:29] <steve____> yeah
[04:29] <steve____> pretty much
[04:30] <steve____> or password
[04:30] <steve____> it just sits there
[04:30] <wasabi> sounds like it's waiting for reverse resolve. wait.
[04:30] <fujin_> that's what I was about to say :0
[04:30] <steve____> its on my LAN!
[04:31] <wasabi> do you have reverse resolve on your lan?
[04:31] <steve____> dont think so
[04:31] <steve____> its not working for me or my room mate
[04:33] <steve____> wtf
[04:33] <steve____> it was working like half an hour ago
[04:33] <steve____> what happened
[04:37] <steve____> fujin_: wasabi: does it work for you?
[04:37] <steve____> ssh neoturbine.net
[04:37] <fujin_> does a keyexchange
[04:37] <fujin_> asked me for a password
[04:37] <steve____> ok
[04:37] <steve____> umm
[04:38] <steve____> wtf
[04:38] <steve____> it's still not working for me
[04:40] <steve____> why is it not asking me for a password
[04:44] <steve____> hello?
[04:50] <mralphabet> steve____: you are using webmin on an ubuntu box?
[04:51] <steve____> mralphabet: yea
[04:51] <mralphabet> !webmin
[04:51] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system
[04:51] <steve____> mralphabet: any alternatives?
[04:51] <mralphabet> ebox is the one currently being bantered around
[04:52] <steve____> mralphabet: what about usermin?
[04:52] <steve____> also the whole ssh thing seems to be a problem on my client
[04:52] <steve____> but i still dont know what
[04:52] <mralphabet> use putty
[04:52] <steve____> im in linux tho
[04:53] <fujin_> have you checked your nameserver configuration?
[05:01] <cld2> is it possible to get the messages that scroll buy during boot? after the kernel takes over before the login? dmesg is not showing the hardware errors I see. thanks.
[05:09] <stiv2k> i dunno
[05:09] <stiv2k> it works again
[05:09] <stiv2k> that was SO weid
[05:09] <stiv2k> weird
[05:30] <stiv2k> hey
[05:30] <stiv2k> doing `who` on my server
[05:30] <stiv2k> shows me logged in like 8 times
[05:30] <stiv2k> i only have 2 terminal windows open thouhg
[05:30] <stiv2k> ....
[05:30] <stiv2k> how do i log myself out of them
[05:46] <fujin_> killall bash
[06:26] <nealmcb> fujin_: shorewall is a firewall config tool in main with some nice failsafe options
[06:26] <fujin_> jesus christ
[06:27] <fujin_> you did not just suggest shorewall to me
[06:27] <fujin_> seriously, I'd have to be a retard to use shorewall. I can't believe you brought it up in a server channel
[06:27] <nealmcb> fujin_: have it your way....
[06:28] <fujin_> found an init script, anywayz.
[06:28] <fujin_> from Gentoo
[06:28] <fujin_> modified for ubuntu
[06:29] <nealmcb> what don't you like about shorewall?
[06:29] <fujin_> it's rubbish and not suitable for deployment as a layer3 firewall on individual servers?
[06:29] <fujin_> maybe for a noob with a home network
[06:29] <fujin_> "the red network"
[06:29] <fujin_> lol @ shorewall.
[06:30] <fujin_> I'll stick to my handwritten iptables.
[06:30] <ajmitch> please do that then
[06:30] <nealmcb> fujin_: could you be specific?
[06:30] <ajmitch> hello nealmcb :)
[06:30] <nealmcb> ajmitch: howdy!
[06:31] <fujin_> how more specific do you need?
[06:31] <fujin_> it's an abstraction layer to something which isn't complex
[06:31] <fujin_> =dumb
[06:31] <fujin_> eof
[06:31] <nealmcb> fujin_: bug reports, better alternatives which are supported, etc.
[07:02] <fujin_> I don't need bug reports or better alternatives to dislike a product.
[07:02] <fujin_> especially a mangled under-functional product like that
[08:47] <stiv2k_> hey can i re-attach a screen running under a different user on my system?  I am the sys admin.
[09:20] <soren> stiv2k_: Is this something you just need this once?
[09:33] <mindframe> id say su to that user and screen -r
[11:08] <ph8> hey all, i'm looking for a bug to sink my teeth into. So i'm @ bugs.launchpad.net and i'm trying to search all bug reports for 'one project'
[11:08] <ph8> which project is ubuntu server though? :o
[11:08] <ph8> 'ubuntu-instant-server?'
[11:10] <kgoetz> afaik ubuntu-sever doesnt have its own project, its 'just part of ubuntu'
[11:11] <ph8> ah ok
[11:11] <ph8> so how can i view specific bugs?
[11:13] <ajmitch> you'd look at bugs for the packages, such as samba or apache2 or php5
[11:13] <ph8> ah i see
[11:13] <ph8> so coding for the ubuntu server team is really the same as the ubuntu core team, but you might concentrate on different packages?
[11:13] <ajmitch> yes
[11:13] <ph8> thanks
[12:04] <kgoetz> anybody know what replaces the iftab file? i seem to have an eth1 and eth2, but no eth0
[12:14] <atamurad> hi, what's the default mysql root password on ubuntu server?
[02:34] <ScottK> Who on the server team is familiar with pacakaging mysql related packages?  We're having a problem in #ubuntu-motu that could use some assistance.
[03:31] <reya276> how can I fix this error "JNDI listen port in jndi.properties blocked by TCP/IP filtering or firewall"
[03:33] <reya276> how can I fix this error "JNDI listen port in jndi.properties blocked by TCP/IP filtering or firewall"
[04:09] <ruben-> How can I upgrade my version of mysql-server, I updated the tree, but it still says it's the newest version :\
[04:10] <sommer> ruben-: did you apt-get upgrade or apt-get update?
[04:10] <ruben-> update
[04:10] <ruben-> With apt-get upgrade it doesn't show it'll upgrade my mysql-server version..
[04:10] <ruben-> Since it's the "newest" version, but it contains bugs, so I need a newer version
[04:10] <sommer> then you're should be at the latest already.
[04:11] <ruben-> 5.0.22 is installed, bug is fixed in 5.0.42, they're at version 5.0.45
[04:13] <sommer> ruben-: you can file a bug in Launch Pad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/
[04:13] <sommer> or you could compile from source in the meantime.
[04:13] <ruben-> It's no ubuntu bug
[04:13] <ruben-> It's a bug in MySQL
[04:14] <ruben-> http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=27363
[04:14] <sommer> ruben-: right you can file a bug asking for the patch to be backported or MySQL version to be packaged.  I beleive it's too late for Gutsy though.
[04:14] <ruben-> I've got 6.096
[04:15] <ruben-> I've got 6.06*
[04:17] <sommer> ah you could always upgrade as well, but that usually depends on your environment.
[04:17] <kgoetz> change release isnt often a option in production environments :(
[04:20] <Nafallo> 6.06.1 is better...
[04:20] <mralphabet> ruben-: what you need is a backport of mysql
[04:20] <mralphabet> ruben-: the 'latest' version of software is not always available on 6.06
[04:21] <Nafallo> 6.06.1
[04:21] <kgoetz> .1 is kind of asumed :|
[04:21] <mralphabet> ruben-: at least not through repos ;(
[04:24] <kgoetz> backports might
[04:30] <nealmcb> server team meeting in 30 minutes: wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Meeting
[04:43] <Nafallo> ooh
[04:44] <Kamping_Kaiser> pschulz01, hey mate
[04:47] <pschulz01> Kamping_Kaiser: Just woke up in time to the meeting :-)
[04:47] <Kamping_Kaiser> pschulz01, meeting?
[04:48] <pschulz01> ubuntu-server..
[04:48] <Kamping_Kaiser> oh right
[04:48] <pschulz01> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam?highlight=%28server%29%7C%28team%29
[05:05] <pschulz01> Kamping_Kaiser: My idea for documentation.
[05:05] <pschulz01> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaulSchulz/UbuntuServerDocumentation
[05:05] <Kamping_Kaiser> pschulz01, looking
[05:29] <Kamping_Kaiser> pschulz01, interesting idea.
[05:29] <Kamping_Kaiser> how does this differ per se from the howtos in the ubuntu wiki/community help?
[05:29] <Kamping_Kaiser> btw. got 60 photos on the 'short list'
[06:44] <gnilor> hey anybody know of a repository that has a newer version of parted? the current one in 7.4 and all others appears to be 1.7 which has a bug that fails to work for raid5 arrays larger than 2TB
[06:47] <Yahooadam> does somthing like cfdisk work ?
[06:48] <mathiaz> gnilor: did you check ubuntu-backports ?
[06:48] <gnilor> yes i believe i checked every possible place
[06:49] <gnilor> I/we just manually compiled it, and were wondering if it was anywhere otherwise I might look for an ubuntu packaging tutorial to host it
[06:50] <Yahooadam> oh lol :p
[06:50] <Yahooadam> i thought u were saying u needed somthing that worked, not that you wanted to host a newer version ;)
[06:51] <gnilor> well not really want to, but if it isn't there we might as well do it ourselves right ;)
[06:51] <gnilor> there is an open bug from a while ago, so i guess it's not really priority for ubuntu devs right now
[06:52] <gnilor> (I'm actually not too familiar with vesion management from ubuntu, but it seems to me that parted 1.8.x probably should make it in sometime in the not too distant future)
[06:59] <mralphabet> gnilor: you may want to check #ubuntu-motu for packaging suggestions
[07:19] <Znuff> Hello. Under Ubuntu, how does lvm use the pv's? by uuid or by device name? I think I'll have to do some device movements in my fileserver and I'm not sure what will happen to my lvm.
[07:20] <Styles> Anybody use or has used Hyperic HQ?
[08:46] <Styles> How to run vista from XP = turn on all the flashy crap in XP, change the background image, take some memory out of the box and clock down the CPU. Then hose Media Player.  You now have a Vista box that works like a charm.
[08:48] <gnilor> I don't want to go down the lane of OS flame waring, but for comical relief: you might also want to delete all the music from your mp3player, plug it in and believe it is enlarging your ram to run faster.
[08:49] <Znuff> oh, and you could throw all your pirated media out
[08:51] <mralphabet> xp doesn't have the poker game
[08:52] <Znuff> word
[08:52] <Znuff> and the pretty cards in solitaire
[08:57] <Yahooadam> im sorry, but what does Vista Vs XP have to do with ubuntu servers :S
[09:25] <mralphabet> Yahooadam: absolutely nothing
[09:27] <sahafeez> question - i am building a new asterisk box from an old pile of hardware. i have a promise sata 150sx card. the installer see 3 drives and not the mirror set i setup on the card. is this normal?
[09:28] <mralphabet> I am by no means an authoritative answer, but recent (ie the last 2 years or so) promise sata cards do not seem well supported in the linux kernel
[09:30] <sahafeez> ugh
[09:30] <sahafeez> i did not want to have to buy a new card.
[09:39] <sahafeez>  libata's "sata_promise" driver (for tx2/tx4, production quality driver) or "sata_sx4" (for sx4, beta quality driver) provides support a/o 2004-02-25 (included in kernel 2.6.x).
[09:39] <sahafeez> http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html
[09:39] <sahafeez> sorry - http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html#promise
[09:39] <sahafeez> read that and tell me if i am reading it wrong. it should be supported
[09:39] <sahafeez> as a raid
[09:41] <mralphabet> I have a promise sata card as well . . . and it doesn't work.
[09:41] <Yahooadam> saharfeez - the raid should be seen as a drive i believe ...
[09:41] <mralphabet> I don't know that I have tried everything, but linux doesn't see anything past the card /shrug
[09:43] <ivoks> it's simple
[09:43] <ivoks> promise changed firmware, making open source driver unusable
[09:43] <ivoks> they provide their own driver, but for 2.4 kernel
[09:43] <sahafeez> sorry - the raid should be see as each drive or just the raid drive
[09:44] <sahafeez> i have it setup as a mirror but it sees each drive.
[09:44] <sahafeez> i think maybe i will just software raid it.
[09:44] <ivoks> forget about promise, supertrack, fastrack...
[09:44] <sahafeez> it is what i have.
[09:45] <ivoks> i know, but it's not worth it
[09:45] <ivoks> you will get very bad performance
[09:45] <sahafeez> other cards are 3ware but i need this to work. i will just use it for jbod and software raid
[09:45] <ivoks> it's better to have onboard intel SATA and mdadm raid
[09:45] <sahafeez> it is for an asterisk box for 10 people.
[09:46] <ivoks> 3ware on the other hand is best you can get for sata
[09:46] <sahafeez> yah..i have 3 of them
[09:46] <Yahooadam> sahafeez, if the raid softwaer can see it, it should see each drive, otherwise, the raid should be seen as 1 big drive
[09:48] <Yahooadam> i believe anyway, im not a raid expert :p
[09:48] <Yahooadam> p.s. software raid is pretty sucky, ofc how much depends if your raid controller is a decent one
[09:48] <ivoks> it's not sucky...
[09:48] <ivoks> software raid has its advantages
[09:49] <soren> I prefer software raid, actually.
[09:49] <ivoks> (where software raid is linux mdadm raid, not cheap so-called raid controllers)
[09:50] <Yahooadam> what advantage does software raid have
[09:50] <Yahooadam> except u dont have to pay for a raid controller :p
[09:50] <mralphabet> in os monitoring is better with mdadm
[09:50] <mralphabet> a lot of the linux tools that are provided don't work off cli if they work at all
[09:51] <mralphabet> *linux tools from vendors
[09:51] <soren> You don't have to pay for a *two* raid-controllers, actually. If your raid controller dies, you have to have an identical one if you want to have even a smidgeon of chance of getting your data back.
[09:51] <ivoks> and most of the time linux md raid provides better performance
[09:51] <ivoks> processors these days are really fast :)
[09:52] <soren> The performance overhead of software raid is negligable these days anyway.
[09:52] <mralphabet> software raid in windows is garbage though
[09:52] <soren> mralphabet: don't do that, then :)
[09:53] <ivoks> YourMomsHero: http://linux.yyz.us/why-software-raid.html
[09:53] <ivoks> beh...
[09:53] <ivoks> Yahooadam: http://linux.yyz.us/why-software-raid.html
[09:54] <mralphabet> soren: I don't if I can help it ;)
[09:54] <kudeta> hello
[09:55] <kudeta> ive added to interfaces an ip that my server has been allocated. but its not working (no ping etc) is there something i might have forgotten?
[09:55] <kudeta> it says its up but.. :S
[09:56] <Yahooadam> isnt one of these btter then SW raid http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=311568&cks=ASS&assoc=8070E5CC-28EB-433D-8345-6176BFE08D72
[09:56] <Yahooadam> :p
[09:56] <ivoks> promise? :)
[09:56] <mralphabet> ;(
[09:56] <ivoks> i wouldn't use it even as a darts target :)
[09:57] <Yahooadam> http://www.europc.co.uk/pages/ProductPage.aspx?PID=45092&refId=Pricegrabber
[09:57] <Yahooadam> that better :p
[09:57] <Yahooadam> appart from its PCI-X >_<
[09:57] <kudeta> i made it identical to eth0, but just changed te last ip digit (they are consecutive) where neccess.
[09:57] <ivoks> http://www.3ware.com/
[09:58] <ivoks> kudeta: you can't ping any address?
[09:58] <Yahooadam> nice :p
[09:58] <kudeta> no  can
[09:58] <kudeta> leme explain
[09:58] <kudeta> i have  remote serve ron dapper
[09:58] <kudeta> i was allocated 3 ips
[09:58] <kudeta> call them
[09:59] <kudeta> *.*.*.1
[09:59] <kudeta> *.*.*.2
[09:59] <kudeta> *.*.*.3
[09:59] <Yahooadam> "for red hot RAID 6 performance, delivering over 700MB/s RAID 6 reads and 600MB/s RAID 6 writes."
[09:59] <kudeta> but only .1 was active
[09:59] <Yahooadam> i want that for my gaming machine :p
[09:59] <ivoks> kudeta: did you add auto?
[09:59] <kudeta> yea
[10:00] <Znuff> hmmm, I wonder why my ubuntu-server just stopped bootin
[10:00] <ivoks> kudeta: can you ssh to .1?
[10:00] <Znuff> booting
[10:00] <kudeta> ivoks
[10:00] <kudeta> yea .1 works np
[10:00] <kudeta> has been for months :)
[10:00] <kudeta> i need .2 so i can run a tor server discretely
[10:00] <ivoks> kudeta: hwo did you called those other interfaces?
[10:01] <ivoks> call, even...
[10:01] <kudeta> the original one was eth0 (.1)
[10:01] <kudeta> the new one is eth0:0 (thats .2)
[10:01] <ivoks> ok
[10:01] <ivoks> and if you do ifup eth0:0, what happens?
[10:02] <kudeta> already configured
[10:02] <ivoks> and 'ifconfig' shows all interfaces?
[10:02] <kudeta> yup
[10:02] <ivoks> so, can you ping those IPs from that server?
[10:02] <kudeta> yea
[10:03] <kudeta> i can ping internally
[10:03] <ivoks> then it's not your problem
[10:03] <kudeta> but only .1 works outside
[10:03] <sahafeez> is there a guide to setting up raid from the installer. i am having issues understanding the logic of the installer. i have 3 disk and i want to mirror 2 and hot spare the 3rd
[10:03] <kudeta> oh really?
[10:03] <kudeta> host issue?
[10:03] <ivoks> your ISP doesn't pass traffic to those IPs
[10:03] <kudeta> hmm
[10:03] <kudeta> it says in my email confirmation i was allocatd *.*.*.1 2 and 3
[10:04] <ivoks> ask them why you can't ping .2 and .3 from outside
[10:04] <kudeta> ok
[10:04] <kudeta> thanks ivoks
[10:04] <ivoks> IPs are up on server
[10:06] <ivoks> np
[10:11] <Znuffy> what's the proper procedure in restoring grub?
[10:11] <sommer> nealmcb: thanks for the correction...I asked in #ubuntu-doc about the date and still put it in wrong
[10:13] <ivoks> Znuffy: installation of it
[10:13] <Znuffy> let's see if I manage to do this without / but only with /boot
[10:14] <mathiaz> jdstrand: what's the status of the default LAMP page ?
[10:14] <ivoks> Znuffy: you can't :) there is no grub binary in /boot
[10:14] <Znuffy> ivoks, but it's on the live cd
[10:14] <jdstrand> mathiaz: I issued the bug report, which you ack'd.  I then tried follwoing up with infinity, but had a hard time getting hold of him
[10:15] <ivoks> Znuffy: i would suggest booting from live cd and then chrooting to real /
[10:15] <jdstrand> mathiaz: so basically, nothing :(
[10:15] <Znuffy> ivoks, I can't, / is on lvm
[10:15] <mathiaz> jdstrand: ok. I was just going through the Action points of the last meetings.
[10:15] <ivoks> eh :/
[10:15] <Znuffy> and it seems that NOBODY thought of shipping lvm on the live cd...
[10:15] <jdstrand> mathiaz: I haven't checked his tz since I started, but we never seem to be in sync lately
[10:15] <mathiaz> jdstrand: infinity is in australia, so it's hard for us to get a hold on him

[10:15] <ivoks> Znuffy: live CD doesn't support LVM
[10:16] <ivoks> Znuffy: and if you installed server, there's a rescue option on server install cd
[10:16] <jdstrand> mathiaz: I can email him then
[10:16] <Znuffy> wish I'd had a server cd around
[10:16] <ivoks> Znuffy: well, it's not a big deal
[10:16] <Znuffy> seems setup (hd0) succeeded
[10:16] <Znuffy> ivoks, and no spare blank!
[10:17] <ivoks> Znuffy: now reboot
[10:17] <Znuffy> now, I wonder if this thing will actually boot o.O
[10:19] <ivoks> if you passwd correct root() command in grub, it should
[10:21] <Znuffy> ivoks, yeah, but I was afraid of lvm doing something wrong, as I have some devices moved around
[10:21] <Znuffy> if only I could actually figure out what caused this
[10:22] <Znuffy> was working last night, and this morning *boom*
[10:23] <ivoks> grub has nothing to do with lvm
[10:23] <Znuffy> nevermind lvm
[10:24] <Znuffy> I don't get it why this thing would randomly reboot and lose its mbr
[10:24] <Znuffy> last line in /var/log/messages.0 is "fileserver syslogd 1.4.1#20ubuntu4: restart."
[10:25] <ivoks> :))
[10:25] <ivoks> let me guess, in 6AM?
[10:26] <ivoks> syslogd is periodicly restarted; every restart of it, inside new day, creates new /var/log/messages
[10:26] <ivoks> if your computer is up 24/7
[10:27] <ivoks> then that's in 6:25AM
[10:27] <sahafeez> question - i do not see raid as a choice for a partition type in the installer. what am i missing?
[10:27] <sahafeez> do i have to setup lvm to use raid?
[10:27] <ivoks> sahafeez: server install?
[10:27] <sahafeez> yes
[10:27] <ivoks> sahafeez: you have to create raid partitions
[10:27] <sahafeez> yes. i know. it is not a choice
[10:27] <ivoks> when you create partition, select 'use as linux raid'
[10:28] <ivoks> instead of ext3
[10:28] <sahafeez> yes, it is not on the list is what i am saying
[10:28] <ivoks> what is on the list?
[10:28] <sahafeez> use as linux raid
[10:28] <sahafeez> is not there. etx3, etx3 xfs, etc are all there
[10:29] <ivoks> what are those all? is lvm there?
[10:29] <sahafeez> no.
[10:29] <sahafeez> 1st screen - manual. ok get a list of disk. pic a disk.
[10:30] <sahafeez> create a partition. pick that. try to change type. no love
[10:30] <ivoks> well it was there for last 70 server installs i did :)
[10:31] <ivoks> you are using what version?
[10:32] <sahafeez> 7.04
[10:33] <sahafeez> okay...think i have it now.
[10:33] <sahafeez> rebooted
[10:33] <sahafeez> strange
[10:33] <spiekey> hi
[10:34] <ivoks> maybe md module wasn't loaded
[10:34] <sahafeez> ubuntu is great however the disksetup is the worst
[10:34] <ivoks> ...for some reason...
[10:34] <spiekey> what do i need to set to allow key and passwd auth with sshd?
[10:34] <ivoks> nothing, that's by default
[10:34] <spiekey> RSAAuthentication yes - PubkeyAuthentication yes
[10:34] <spiekey> what else?
[10:35] <ivoks> spiekey: that's by default
[10:35] <spiekey> i changed my friking config :P
[10:35] <ivoks> that's all
[10:37] <spiekey> can i install the default config somehow?
[10:37] <spiekey> without locking myself out? ;)
[11:07] <cld2> I know this is generic but, on my home network I start an rsync and it goes for about 1 min at 75 megs ber second then slowly drops to 4 megs a second and just kinda sits there, some times it will spike back up to 30megs a second. its all wired all on the same switch. thanks.
[11:08] <mralphabet> large files? small files?
[11:09] <nijaba> cld2: what about proc activity ?  How many files are you syncing ?
[11:09] <cld2> mralphabet: largish files, around 2 gig
[11:09] <cld2> nijaba: what do I look at in proc to see this? sorry im the suck at linux internals
[11:10] <nijaba> cld2: I meant processor
[11:10] <cld2> oh, I dont know how to check that either. both boxes have 2ghz single core amd's
[11:11] <cld2> im rsyncing over nfs with progress turned on. so I can see that sometimes it can be fast.. and every now and then it will sustain 30-40 megs a second.
[11:12] <nijaba> so, can you (a) provide us with the result displayed by rsync when using --stats option
[11:12] <nijaba> cld2: (b) run top while syncing and look at your load average
[11:13] <cld2> top shows 1.9 on the box doing the sync
[11:13] <cld2> so the cpu is just over worked.
[11:13] <cld2> now its at 2.15
[11:14] <nijaba> cld2: what options do you have ?
[11:14] <cld2> nijaba: I dont understand sorry.
[11:14] <nijaba> cld2: it could be that comparing changes for unchanged file is taking a lot of local activity
[11:14] <cld2> options for what?
[11:14] <nijaba> cld2: options : what is your rsync command line
[11:14] <cld2> oh, i just did rsync --progress *.mpg /new/dir
[11:15] <cld2> there are no file in the place these files are being rsycned to.
[11:16] <cld2> and scp yeilds about 11/mbs and I figured that was because of the encryption overhead
[11:17] <nijaba> cld2: can you do an 'ifconfig' and send us the results to see if there are network errors
[11:17] <nijaba> cld2: encryption is not that much of an overhead if you have a "modern" machine
[11:18] <cld2> nijaba: thanks. I would hope 2ghz is modern enought.
[11:18] <cld2> on both hosts i have zero errors, dropped, overuns, or collisions
[11:18] <nijaba> cld2: yep, sounds modern
[11:19] <cld2> yeah, its very strange. thanks for the troubleshooting help.
[11:19] <nijaba> cld2: and when you do a cp locally, you never noticed any slowing down ?
[11:20] <cld2> what kills me is I made this transfer yesterday in all of about 11 min, getting about 30megs/s the entire time, but had the wrong permissions on the folder. after I fixed that and retried its just been slumping
[11:20] <cld2> I cant say, this is a mythtv box. it never seems slow
[11:21] <nijaba> cld2: in your top, what are the top 3 process in processor usage ?
[11:21] <cld2> on the reciving end no, never any cp slowness. thats the backend/file server
[11:21] <fujin_> hdparm -tT
[11:21] <cld2> rsync,rsync,pdflush
[11:27] <m12> evening all
[11:27] <cld2> fujin_: /dev/sda: Timing cached reads:   1034 MB in  2.00 seconds = 516.61 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads:  220 MB in  3.02 seconds =  72.90 MB/sec
[11:27] <m12> i am having problem issuing command : apache2-ssl-certificates
[11:28] <m12> it just says stop
[11:30] <cld2> whats strange is that scp will hold a steady 11meg/s
[11:32] <spiekey> when i create a file on a samba share with , it looks like  on the shell.
[11:32] <spiekey> how can i fix this?
[11:33] <fujin_> utf8
[11:34] <spiekey> mount ext3 with utf8 you mean?
[11:34] <m12> what packages i need to get SSL runing on ubuntu ?
[11:36] <m12> i have instaled apache2.2-common , openssl and ca-certificates, do i need somthing more ?
[11:36] <nijaba> spiekey: in /etc/fstab put option iocharset=utf8 or iocharset=iso8859-15 as you would like
[11:38] <nijaba> m12: http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Apache2_SSL_in_Ubuntu
[11:38] <m12> tnx nijaba
[11:38] <spiekey> nijaba: /dev/sda6       /mnt/data       ext3    iocharset=iso8859-15       0       2   like this?
[11:38] <spiekey> mount -o remount /mnt/data
[11:38] <spiekey> mount: /mnt/data not mounted already, or bad option
[11:43] <nijaba> spiekey: sorry, iocharset not an option for ext3, I thought you were mounting a fat volume
[11:43] <m12> nijaba, libapache-mod-ssl is for apache , not apache2 :/
[11:46] <spiekey> whats the option called?
[11:47] <nijaba> m12: ssl is there by default now I beleive.  just "a2enmod ssl" should work
[11:48] <nijaba> spiekey: what option ?
[11:48] <spiekey> to use utf8 on ext3
[11:49] <nijaba> spiekey: don't have the option, just using the charset of the machine is running
[11:49] <spiekey> ah, okay
[11:52] <nijaba> spiekey: since your machine is the server, in the global section of your samba conf
[11:52] <nijaba> spiekey: try setting unix charset = ISO8859-1
[11:53] <nijaba>        dos charset = 850
[11:54] <spiekey> thanks
[11:58] <nijaba> spiekey: also check for presence of "display charset = LOCALE"
[11:58] <m12> nijaba , that tutorial installs apache-common with libapache-mod-ssl, think it is for apache1 and still not working
[11:59] <nijaba> m12: sorry, I did not write it, just thought it looked right
[12:02] <m12> ye i guessed, just saying it isnt working :)
[12:03] <nijaba> m12: there is also a lengthy discussion on the subject on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=4466
[12:07] <m12> it seems broken command of apache2 on launchpad
[12:09] <m12> all very good tutorials until u found out apache2-ssl-certificates is broken command
[12:09] <m12> then u stuck
[12:09] <nijaba> m12 so you are stuck generating your cert, right ?
[12:10] <nijaba> m12: wait a sec, I think I have an ugly script somewhere for this
[12:10] <m12> i cant start generating
[12:10] <m12> cause it refuses comand
[12:10] <m12> and now i have read that there are some files missing in apache2
[12:11] <m12> very ugly it seems
[12:13] <nijaba> m12: http://pastebin.com/d1a1f1063 will generate your own ca cert
[12:14] <m12> i check, tnx
[12:15] <nijaba> m12: http://pastebin.com/d2f8626f3 will generate a cert for a specific server
[12:15] <nijaba> m12: as I told you, very ugly (but working) scripting
[12:15] <m12> hmm
[12:15] <nijaba> m12: will need some editing to have your own values
[12:15] <m12> yes
