[06:44] <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....
[06:47] <nealmcb> journal inodes sharing blockis with defoma font-caches - nasty stuff
[07:06] <erikstaats> I'm having trouble getting php to log errors to anywhere but the default apache error_log.
[10:15] <Kamping_Kaiser> nealmcb, wow. didnt realise tht still happnened :(
[10:15] <Kamping_Kaiser> *sp
[11:12] <dencrypt> how do I open ports on my server for ftp-service? I tried doing iptables but it doesn't work, any ideas?
[11:14] <Kamping_Kaiser> install an ftp service, by default theres nothing blocking ports
[11:16] <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.
[11:17] <Kamping_Kaiser> you cant telnet to port 20/21?
[11:19] <dencrypt> nope
[11:19]  * Kamping_Kaiser doesnt do ftp, so cant really comment on setting up a server with it
[11:20] <dencrypt> It actually worked a few days back, which is even more strange
[11:20] <Kamping_Kaiser> how did you confirm its started?
[11:21] <dencrypt>  * Starting FTP server: vsftpd                                                                                                                                   [ OK ]
[11:22] <Kamping_Kaiser> have you checked syslog for errors/warnings?
[11:22] <dencrypt> hmm... no.
[11:23] <Kamping_Kaiser> tail -n 30 /var/log/syslog
[11:24] <dencrypt> nope, no errors :/
[11:25] <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
[11:26] <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`
[11:27] <dencrypt> wtf! nothing there. why doesn't it start?...
[11:27] <dencrypt> hmmm
[11:27] <Kamping_Kaiser> unless it calls itself something-not-ftp
[11:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> did you look at https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/ftp-server.html ? its kind of bear though :(
[11:31] <dencrypt> shall have a look
[11:33] <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]
[11:34] <dencrypt> but if I stop it everytime, how can I keep stoping it?
[11:34] <dencrypt> haha
[11:57] <kraut> moin
[12:07] <hatter> anyone here got speed problems with 7.10 and samba ?
[14:07] <mralphabet> hatter: happen to be using vista as the client?
[16:06] <nownot> hello im trying to get a vpn going and want to share one of my external hd's on the network. but im having problems with the samba part. any help me out/
[16:24] <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 :-(
[16:25] <nealmcb> at least there wasn't anything precious there that I can recall....
[16:39] <Innatech> nealmcb: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8874
[16:42] <nealmcb> Innatech: thanks!
[16:42] <Innatech> no prob. Hope it works!
[17:11] <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?
[17:16] <nealmcb> Innatech: success - the trick was sudo vgchange -a y    interesting article....
[17:19] <Innatech> nealmcb: cool.
[17:19] <Innatech> I'll have to try and remember that.
[17:26] <bert> okey, I have got a question about ubuntu server
[17:26] <bert> what are the system requirements for a server
[17:26] <bert> ???
[17:27] <Innatech> fairly modest. What did you have in mind?
[17:28] <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?
[17:29] <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
[17:30] <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.
[17:31] <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
[17:32] <bert> ow yeah, now that I'm here
[17:33] <bert> how much diskspace would a ubuntu server installation (LAMP + mailserver + FTP) take ?
[18:29] <nathan42100> hey, is anyone here?
[18:32] <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
[18:33] <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
[18:34] <nathan42100> many other distros of Linux refuse to install as well, inlcuding the desktop version of Ubunu
[18:36] <Innatech> you can try looking through here....not sure if it will help: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer
[18:40] <nathan42100> can't find anything
[18:42] <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?
[18:43] <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
[18:44] <Innatech> you could also try an alternate or server install and add packages
[18:44] <nathan42100> what is a vty
[18:45] <nathan42100> I am trying the server install
[18:45] <Innatech> ./bonk oh yea
[18:45] <nathan42100> what is a vty?
[18:46] <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
[18:47] <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
[18:48] <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
[18:49] <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...
[18:50] <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
[18:52] <nathan42100> right danp?
[18:55] <nathan42100> danp?
[18:57] <bert> sorry, does anyone know what to do with the following kernel panic: "PANIC: CPU too old for this kernel." ???
[18:58] <bert> (it's a fresh ubuntu server installation)
[19:01] <nathan42100> I would assume that it is exactly what it says...I would get an older version of the server or a newer CPU
[19:02] <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
[19:03] <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?
[19:04] <bert> 3 or 4 years old I think
[19:04] <bert> maximum
[19:05] <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
[19:07] <bert> okey, so you mean that dapper perhaps would work ?
[19:09] <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 ?
[19:10] <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
[19:11] <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
[19:12] <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
[19:13] <danp> when you install, are you just using one big / partition/filesystem?
[19:14] <bert> yes one / partiton
[19:14] <bert> *partition
[19:14] <bert> but I could easily splitt it
[19:15] <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
[19:16] <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
[19:17] <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?
[19:18] <bert> so I should pick rescue a broken system from the menu, right ?
[19:18] <danp> yeah
[19:19] <danp> nathan42100: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/
[19:21] <nathan42100> so its basically just a commandline simple package manager?
[19:22] <bert> well nathan, synaptic and kpackage are just graphical front-ends to apt-get ;)
[19:23] <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 ?
[19:26] <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
[19:27] <nathan42100> danp, should I try putting "cdrom_hdparm=-d1" at the boot parameters?
[19:28] <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
[19:30] <nathan42100> since it is the server CD, do I need the live and the cdrom-detect as well?
[19:30] <nathan42100> danp?
[19:34] <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/
[19:42] <nathan42100> hello?

[20:27] <fujin_> What's cvsnt?
[20:27] <pete01> google it
[20:27] <pete01> can anyone else help
[20:27] <fujin_> Why not use something that isn't shit?
[20:27] <fujin_> (i.e.; SVN, git)
[20:27] <pete01> ah good
[20:27] <fujin_> darcs
[20:27] <pete01> some response
[20:28] <pete01> :)
[20:28] <pete01> sorry just better getting a response than none
[20:28] <fujin_> If you were asking about SVN, I could help;
[20:28] <fujin_> CVS is rubbish
[20:28] <pete01> i know
[20:28] <fujin_> I wouldn't touch it with a pole
[20:28] <pete01> i don't really want to
[20:28] <pete01> can i exlpain my situation
[20:28] <fujin_> Explaining it isn't going to help me help you
[20:28] <fujin_> unfortunately
[20:28] <pete01> hehe
[20:29] <pete01> :(
[20:29] <pete01> is this just an idling channel?
[20:29] <pete01> or a quiet time
[20:29] <pete01> *sigh*
[20:31] <fujin_> Have you googled?
[20:31] <pete01> yeah, there is almost nothing out there in terms of howtos, etc.
[20:32] <pete01> CVSNT is design Windows I think but can run on Linux
[20:32] <fujin_> (that's because it's shit)
[20:32] <pete01> lol, true
[20:32] <pete01> I have a CVSNT repos that I want to continue to use on a Linux server
[20:32] <pete01> Windows server died last week
[20:32] <pete01> hardware error
[20:33] <fujin_> ugh
[20:33] <pete01> I expected this channel to be a hive of activity and discussions...
[20:33] <fujin_> import the repository to SVN and be done with it?
[20:33] <fujin_> You're discussing stupid things
[20:33] <pete01> bleh
[20:33] <pete01> how
[20:33] <pete01> :P
[20:35] <pete01> ok, you're right
[20:37] <fujin_> install svn
[20:37] <fujin_> check out the repository
[20:37] <fujin_> svn add all of the stuff
[20:37] <fujin_> svn commit
[20:37] <fujin_> &&done
[20:37] <zul> pete01: it is sunday and most people are away
[20:38] <pete01> ok, just need to find something to convert my cvsnt repos to svn, so i can retain the repos history
[20:38] <pete01> zul: i guessed :)
[20:38] <fujin_> agh
[20:38] <fujin_> didn't you say the server died?
[20:38] <pete01> yep
[20:39] <fujin_> storage is still ok then?
[20:39] <pete01> i managed to recover the repos though
[20:39] <pete01> yes
[20:39] <fujin_> I see.
[20:39] <fujin_> Sorry, I
[20:39] <fujin_> 've
[20:39] <fujin_> long since purged all memories of CVS
[20:39]  * fujin_ cringes
[20:39] <pete01> no problem, i just got dumped with rebuilding the dev server
[20:40] <pete01> and don't have that much exp with the admin side of things
[20:41] <pete01> ok, ill leave you be, thanks
