| nealmcb | ouch - my laptop wouldn't shutdown - something about a read-only filesystem is all I saw, so I had to power it off. now I get "UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; run fsck manually" - and it is noting a ton of illegal blocks and multiply-claimed blocks. I haven't seen this sort of thing in years if ever.... | 06:44 |

| erikstaats | I'm having trouble getting php to log errors to anywhere but the default apache error_log. | 07:06 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | nealmcb, wow. didnt realise tht still happnened :( | 10:15 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | *sp | 10:15 |
| dencrypt | how do I open ports on my server for ftp-service? I tried doing iptables but it doesn't work, any ideas? | 11:12 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | install an ftp service, by default theres nothing blocking ports | 11:14 |
| dencrypt | yeah, that's what I thought. I run vsftpd and it is started. But when I do a nmap locally it doesn't specify the port in /etc/vsftpd.conf to be open at all and I can't connect either. | 11:16 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | you cant telnet to port 20/21? | 11:17 |
| dencrypt | nope | 11:19 |
| * Kamping_Kaiser doesnt do ftp, so cant really comment on setting up a server with it | 11:19 | |
| dencrypt | It actually worked a few days back, which is even more strange | 11:20 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | how did you confirm its started? | 11:20 |
| dencrypt | * Starting FTP server: vsftpd [ OK ] | 11:21 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | have you checked syslog for errors/warnings? | 11:22 |
| dencrypt | hmm... no. | 11:22 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | tail -n 30 /var/log/syslog | 11:23 |
| dencrypt | nope, no errors :/ | 11:24 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | :\ does the ftp server havve its own logging? `ls /var/log/*ftp* | 11:25 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | ` | 11:25 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | `ls /var/log/*ftp*` | 11:25 |
| dencrypt | yes | 11:25 |
| dencrypt | but they are all empty | 11:25 |
| dencrypt | when I do top I can't find the process... | 11:26 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | !ftp | 11:26 |
| ubotu | FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd | 11:26 |
| dencrypt | it might not be started... | 11:26 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | !vsftp | 11:26 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about vsftp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 11:26 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | !vsftpd | 11:26 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about vsftpd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 11:26 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | bloody bot. | 11:26 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | dencrypt, run `ps aux |grep ftp` | 11:26 |
| dencrypt | wtf! nothing there. why doesn't it start?... | 11:27 |
| dencrypt | hmmm | 11:27 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | unless it calls itself something-not-ftp | 11:27 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | did you look at https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/ftp-server.html ? its kind of bear though :( | 11:30 |
| dencrypt | shall have a look | 11:31 |
| dencrypt | when I do sudo /etc/vstftp stop I get the following message: No /usr/sbin/vsftpd found running; none killed. | 11:33 |
| dencrypt | and everytime it says [OK] | 11:33 |
| dencrypt | but if I stop it everytime, how can I keep stoping it? | 11:34 |
| dencrypt | haha | 11:34 |

| nealmcb | I'm trying to recover a disk by mounting it using a gutsy live cd. I've gotten to sudo lvscan shows "inactive '/dev/ubuntu/root' [144.88 GB] inherit" and I guess I want to use dmsetup to create a device. | 16:24 |
| nealmcb | fdisk says /dev/sda5 30 19458 156056528 8e Linux LVM. so do I somehow use those cylinder numbers to create a table for dmsetup create? or is there a good howto out there? | 16:24 |
| * nealmcb mourns for the data on his sweet new laptop :-( | 16:24 | |
| nealmcb | at least there wasn't anything precious there that I can recall.... | 16:25 |
| Innatech | nealmcb: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8874 | 16:39 |
| nealmcb | Innatech: thanks! | 16:42 |
| Innatech | no prob. Hope it works! | 16:42 |
| eldonz | I'm trying to install ubuntu-server on a mini-pc with SiS x86 compatible processor but get "No installable kernel was found". Any way around this? | 17:11 |
| nealmcb | Innatech: success - the trick was sudo vgchange -a y interesting article.... | 17:16 |
| Innatech | nealmcb: cool. | 17:19 |
| Innatech | I'll have to try and remember that. | 17:19 |
| bert | okey, I have got a question about ubuntu server | 17:26 |
| bert | what are the system requirements for a server | 17:26 |
| bert | ??? | 17:26 |
| Innatech | fairly modest. What did you have in mind? | 17:27 |
| bert | well, the problem is, I tried installing ubuntu server a simple LAMP + mail server inside our home network | 17:28 |
| bert | but when I try to start it (it's already installed) it says that the processor isn't good enough :s | 17:28 |
| Innatech | can you provide the specific error it gives? | 17:28 |
| bert | I don't remember it and the partitions are already deleted as I misconfigured them and they took up all the rets of the disk | 17:29 |
| Innatech | mm. Well, you might be able to get the system to boot with a cheat-code but without knowing the error its hard to say. | 17:30 |
| bert | should I reinstall or is a laptop with a celeron processor @ 1.7Ghz just nog powerfull enough ? | 17:30 |
| Innatech | no, that should be fine. | 17:30 |
| bert | then, I'll just reinstall | 17:31 |
| bert | but it was very strange | 17:31 |
| bert | the kernel refused to load :s | 17:31 |
| Innatech | Although the mobile chipset might be causing problems. | 17:31 |
| bert | that's possible | 17:31 |
| bert | but ATM it's the most powerfull machine I have | 17:31 |
| bert | ow yeah, now that I'm here | 17:32 |
| bert | how much diskspace would a ubuntu server installation (LAMP + mailserver + FTP) take ? | 17:33 |
| === Owner is now known as nathan42100 | ||
| nathan42100 | hey, is anyone here? | 18:29 |
| infinity | Nope. | 18:32 |
| nathan42100 | Im trying to install 7.10 server on a few Dell PowerEdge servers 2300-2500 series and the installation hangs at 21% libc6-udeb. Any ideas? I cant find anything on the forums as to an answer | 18:32 |
| infinity | If it stalls in the same spot every time, I'd usually guess it's a bad CD. | 18:33 |
| nathan42100 | I have two cds and a CD verification on my laptop (sadly its faster) says its fine | 18:33 |
| nathan42100 | many other distros of Linux refuse to install as well, inlcuding the desktop version of Ubunu | 18:34 |
| Innatech | you can try looking through here....not sure if it will help: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer | 18:36 |
| nathan42100 | can't find anything | 18:40 |
| Innatech | there are a few bugs filed against the installer by laptop users. | 18:42 |
| danp | can you flip to another vty and see what it says? | 18:42 |
| danp | or does it hang? | 18:42 |
| nathan42100 | #1, im installing it on a server, not a laptop, #2 a vty? Im a linux newb right now... | 18:43 |
| danp | if you can't switch vty's once it's hung you might start the installation, switch to the debug vty and wait for it to hang...see if it says anything when it does | 18:43 |
| Innatech | you could also try an alternate or server install and add packages | 18:44 |
| nathan42100 | what is a vty | 18:44 |
| nathan42100 | I am trying the server install | 18:45 |
| Innatech | ./bonk oh yea | 18:45 |
| nathan42100 | what is a vty? | 18:45 |
| danp | http://linux.about.com/od/linux101/l/blnewbie5_1.htm; once the installation starts you can change terminals/ttys/consoles/whatever | 18:46 |
| danp | on the second one you can get a shell, on 5 and/or 6 i think is debug output from the installer | 18:46 |
| nathan42100 | 2nd terminal I assume | 18:47 |
| nathan42100 | how do I get back to the installer? | 18:47 |
| nathan42100 | #1? | 18:47 |
| nathan42100 | and I assume it works in the installer | 18:47 |
| danp | yeah | 18:47 |
| nathan42100 | ok, I think Im gunna print this | 18:48 |
| nathan42100 | thanks | 18:48 |
| nathan42100 | major problem for future though: 6 servers, a couple switches and hubs and about 20 computers (windowz not linux) without an internet connection because the damn school doesnt trust us | 18:48 |
| nathan42100 | sadly, the servers actually aren't required for the course so there isn't a big push to the school tech support guys to install it for us... | 18:49 |
| nathan42100 | is the 5th and 6th terminal the same debug output? | 18:50 |
| nathan42100 | as far as I can tell it hangs, but then it does eventually show an error about 5 minutes later | 18:50 |
| nathan42100 | so I can look at the debug output after the error | 18:50 |
| nathan42100 | right danp? | 18:52 |
| nathan42100 | danp? | 18:55 |
| bert | sorry, does anyone know what to do with the following kernel panic: "PANIC: CPU too old for this kernel." ??? | 18:57 |
| bert | (it's a fresh ubuntu server installation) | 18:58 |
| nathan42100 | I would assume that it is exactly what it says...I would get an older version of the server or a newer CPU | 19:01 |
| bert | well, someone told me here that an intel celeron @ 1.7Ghz should work fine | 19:02 |
| nathan42100 | I don't know the actual answer as I am a newb | 19:02 |
| nathan42100 | but try with an older installaton | 19:02 |
| nathan42100 | hang on | 19:03 |
| bert | okey | 19:03 |
| nathan42100 | yeah, according to the website a celeron should work | 19:03 |
| nathan42100 | how old is the computer? | 19:03 |
| bert | 3 or 4 years old I think | 19:04 |
| bert | maximum | 19:04 |
| danp | nathan42100, i think you should switch to the debug console as soon as the installation starts to see what it's doing | 19:05 |
| nathan42100 | danp: wouldn't I still have to enter configuation things the first few steps? | 19:05 |
| nathan42100 | oh, neverming | 19:05 |
| bert | okey, so you mean that dapper perhaps would work ? | 19:07 |
| danp | bert, it's weird you're getting that error. i have edgy server running on an oooold compaq PC with a 500MHz celeron here at home | 19:09 |
| bert | well, I think it's odd too | 19:09 |
| bert | but it's perhaps because I run it on a laptop | 19:09 |
| bert | chipset error perhaps ? | 19:09 |
| danp | maybe | 19:09 |
| bert | but how do I fix that ? | 19:09 |
| danp | see if the desktop version boots and works. maybe it needs the generic kernel instead of server. you could probably use the alternate install if that's the case | 19:10 |
| bert | well, the generic kernel works fine | 19:10 |
| danp | do you get that error when you're booting it after installing? | 19:11 |
| bert | so you mean I have to install using the alternate CD and then just delete all the desktop packages ? | 19:11 |
| danp | or when you're trying to boot the installation from CD in the first place? | 19:11 |
| bert | the installation CD boots fine | 19:11 |
| bert | but I can't get it started after the installation | 19:12 |
| danp | ok, you're able to boot the server install CD and do the installation...it's just the first boot that has trouble | 19:12 |
| danp | right, so...what you can do is, after the installation reboots, boot the CD again and go into rescue mode | 19:12 |
| danp | when you install, are you just using one big / partition/filesystem? | 19:13 |
| bert | yes one / partiton | 19:14 |
| bert | *partition | 19:14 |
| bert | but I could easily splitt it | 19:14 |
| bert | I have plenty of space left | 19:15 |
| danp | that's fine, that makes it easier for this | 19:15 |
| bert | okey | 19:15 |
| danp | once you boot into rescue mode you'll eventually get an option to start a shell | 19:15 |
| bert | aah, okey | 19:16 |
| danp | pick your / partition, probably /dev/hda1 | 19:16 |
| danp | then do: apt-get install linux-image-generic | 19:16 |
| bert | do you mean booting from the kernel's rescue line ? | 19:16 |
| bert | *server's | 19:16 |
| danp | yeah, from the server installation CD | 19:17 |
| bert | aaah | 19:17 |
| bert | okey | 19:17 |
| danp | it might be a menu option now, too | 19:17 |
| nathan42100 | what exactly does apt-get do? | 19:17 |
| bert | so I should pick rescue a broken system from the menu, right ? | 19:18 |
| danp | yeah | 19:18 |
| danp | nathan42100: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ | 19:19 |
| nathan42100 | so its basically just a commandline simple package manager? | 19:21 |
| bert | well nathan, synaptic and kpackage are just graphical front-ends to apt-get ;) | 19:22 |
| nathan42100 | ...never used linux really, maybe a total of about 20 hours a few years ago | 19:23 |
| nathan42100 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82017 <-- im not the only one...the problem has been happening for a couple of versions | 19:23 |
| bert | danp, is it normal that the rescue thing takes very long to load ? | 19:23 |
| danp | i guess...it should take about the same amount of time as booting the installation | 19:26 |
| bert | well, it is taking a lot more ATM | 19:26 |
| nathan42100 | danp, should I try putting "cdrom_hdparm=-d1" at the boot parameters? | 19:27 |
| danp | i think you should | 19:28 |
| nathan42100 | (see the thread, 2nd to last post) | 19:28 |
| nathan42100 | ok | 19:28 |
| nathan42100 | I can't do it know | 19:28 |
| nathan42100 | now* | 19:28 |
| nathan42100 | servers are at school | 19:28 |
| nathan42100 | since it is the server CD, do I need the live and the cdrom-detect as well? | 19:30 |
| nathan42100 | danp? | 19:30 |
| nathan42100 | danp, interesting. This person tried 6.061 and it worked, but no other version did: http://www.vinnia.se/2007/05/08/install-ubuntu-704-on-a-dell-poweredge-2450-server/ | 19:34 |
