somerville32soren, I'm going to update ebox-network to have a watchfile, mmkay? :]00:53
UaineI have a fresh install of Ubuntu Server installed from a CD.  I installed using encrypted LVM.  The installation completed fine, and properly rebooted.  I shut down, and removed the CD-rom drive.  On restarting, cryptsetup could not find my device.  After reinstalling the CD-rom drive, everything worked fine again.  Do I need to do something before removing the CD-rom drive?00:55
* lamont looks at bug 180551 and mutters vile comments about the resolver's behavior01:20
ubotuLaunchpad bug 180551 in postfix "Postfix myhostname defaults to uname() not gethostname()." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18055101:20
UaineI did just manage to fix my problem.  I guess it's a quirk of the western digital hard drive.  It was set to "master", which I thought would be fine.  But aparently, if it's the only disk on the cable, it wants the jumper set to "single", not "master".01:24
UaineSo, thanks for looking at my question, anyway :)01:25
NafalloUaine: CSEL?01:25
UaineIt's an older drive.  It only has single, master, or slave. No CS.01:25
Nafallooh my :-)01:26
Uaineyeah, it's kind of a temporary thing.  It's a new machine, and all my other hard drives are busy doing what they normally do.  Now that it's up and running, I can start swapping hardware pieces.01:26
ScottKlamont: Even if you change it, Bug #8980 will probably bite you anyway.02:34

sayersHow would I have more than one virtual-host setup so I can have more than one website on a server04:48
M43Thhow can i mount the DHCP to forward internet to a GNUbox enabled smartphone?04:54
owhI'm running a server with vmware guests. The open-vm-tools are installed. When I issue vmware-cmd <cfg> stop, the first time it fails with "VMControl error -16: Virtual machine requires user input to continue", after clicking [OK] on the console-gui, running the command again, makes it work as expected.04:58
owhThe console gui error talks about the vmware halt script failing, but I cannot figure out where that might be, or why it succeeds a second time.04:59
owhAny debugging suggestions?04:59

XiXaQI'm running 7.10 server, and I've installed the Mailserver task. Any suggestions on how to ridd myself of as much spam as possible?21:19
=== ember_ is now known as ember
sorenXiXaQ: I'm quite happy with spamassassin.21:33
sorenXiXaQ: You can use it through a maze of twisted custom scripts and hacks (what I do) or be sensible about it and use amavis (what I should have done, but have been to lazy to switch to).21:34
[diablo]XiXaQ, you want to look at the likes of DCC21:47
[diablo]XiXaQ, also, ensure you have spamhaus dns blacklist21:47
[diablo]XiXaQ, I mean, add em in to spamassassin21:48
[diablo]XiXaQ, the biggest check of blocking can be done at connection time21:49
[diablo]XiXaQ, http://www.spamhaus.org/  <--- invaluable21:49
ScottKXiXaQ: When soren says amavis, he means amavisd-new.  There's an old old program named amavis.  You don't want that one.22:06
sorenOh, right. Good catch :)22:07
ScottKXiXaQ: You can also integrate clamav through amavisd-new.  In addition to anti-virus, it has some anti-phishing features too.22:07
XiXaQhmm.22:10
XiXaQany urls with more detailed information?22:10
ScottKI wouldn't do exactly everything the way it's laid out here, but it's more information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixAmavisNewClamAVSpamAssassin22:15
ScottKFor example, dovecot is the supported mail delivery agent, not courier (though lots of people like courier)22:15
ScottKXiXaQ: ^^^22:16
XiXaQwell, dovecot is the one used with a Mailserver installation.22:17
ScottKRight, just didn't want you to think you needed to change22:18
XiXaQok.22:19
ScottKWe get a WIDE variety of experience levels in here.22:19
XiXaQ:)22:19
XiXaQI'm not very experienced with mailserver setups.22:20
ScottKXiXaQ: If you are going to be doing much with Postfix, I strongly recommend "The Book of Postfix".22:21
XiXaQI'll have to look into that.22:21
[diablo]XiXaQ, http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDAPdiablo?action=show I'll have this finished in the next day or two22:32
ivoksthis will not work in ubuntu :)22:36
ivokspostfix is chrooted, so it won't be able to acces /var/run/dovecot/auth-client22:37
[diablo]move the sockets within the chroot22:41
ivoksi know that :) i was just making a note22:42
sommernealmcb: have Ubuntu on your XO yet?  Running Gutsy with OpenBox myself... works great, much faster than sugar :-)22:49
sommerdon't have all the hardware working though... no sound at the moment, heh22:49

mok0soren:  should I add that information to the bug report?23:54
sorenCould be a good idea, yeah.23:55
mok0fine23:55
mok0thanks, soren23:56
mok0soren: perhaps sbuild should choose a gid from the system range23:56
mok0soren: that would be an easy fix23:56
