XiXaQcan someone look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CalendarServer and add a way for it to start and stop with the system?09:21
ewookcron it?09:24
ewookor, simply just add it to init.d09:25
sorenXiXaQ: init script?09:35
XiXaQyes.09:35
XiXaQI have no idea how to do that.09:35
sorenXiXaQ: You can base it off of /etc/init.d/skeleton09:36
XiXaQshould it be sufficient to change the values between PATH and SCRIPTNAME, or must I do more?09:40
XiXaQI can't read sh-script very well.09:42
sorenXiXaQ: That depends on what you're trying to do.. I haven't read the wiki page.10:21
XiXaQwould you mind doing so? I think it'd be useful for many people.10:21
qmanhello, I'm having some trouble with software raid...the raid works and all, no failed disks or anything, but at every reboot, it says the raid is not clean, and then gives me "could not bd_claim sde1"10:38
qmanand starts rebuilding the array10:38
qmanI have a 6-disk raid 5, and my dmesg output is here: http://qman.strangled.net:8080/dmesg.txt10:39
ivoksare you sure there are no failed disks?10:42
ivoksit looks to me that it's doing syncing10:42
ivokscheck cat /proc/mdstat10:42
qmanit says it's about 40% through a resync10:43
qmanbut the thing is, all the disks are new, and I just installed the system and created it10:43
qmanand it does this on every reboot10:43
ivokswell, syncing does need time10:43
ivokssometimes more than 24 hours10:43
qmanhmm10:44
ivoksattach output of 'cat /proc/mdstat' somewhere10:44
qmanok10:44
qmanhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52122/10:46
ivokswell, wait for 3 hours and it will finish10:47
qmanI suppose I probably didn't let it finish building, thanks for the help10:47
_rubenqman: have you ever actually seen the raid finish building?10:47
* _ruben guesses not10:47
_rubenindeed10:47
qmanI just assumed that since the md process was no longer in top that it was done10:48
qmanbut obviously not10:48
ivoksyou can use your disk10:48
ivoksbut it still isn't synced on all disks10:48
qmanyeah, it kept data after the reboot even10:48
qmanit's mounted at /home10:48
qmanso not much on it yet10:48
ivokssoren: i need your opinion10:56
sorenChocolate is good.10:56
ivokssoren: we agreed on doing MIR for drbd, but it requires kernel module10:56
ivoksthere is a upstream progress on integrating drbd into vanilla kernel10:57
ivoksand, reading lklm, there are some issues which need to be resolved before merging10:57
ivoksso, i'm not quite sure it's a good idea to merge it into hardy, since there is a big chance code will have partial rewrites10:58
ivokswhat do you think?10:58
sorenWell, if it's being actively rejected by upstream, I'm not very keen on it.11:03
ivoksi can't say actively...11:06
ivokshttp://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/21/25511:06
ivoksbut it's quite long discussion :)11:06

jdstrandmathiaz_, soren: I just migrated a gutsy server to using raid1 on /, and discovered that the server kernel's initramfs does not have raid1 included.16:14
jdstrandI had to add to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules 'md' and 'raid1'16:14
jdstrandis there a reason this isn't included?16:14
mathiaz_jdstrand: no reason... You should file a bug.16:18
jdstrandmathiaz_: will do16:18
c1|freakyhi all. does someone know of a online, web based addressbook or contact management software, preferably also with a calendar. one with a good quality?16:26
jetolehey guys, I notice ubuntu does not include apt-spy in gibbon and netselect-apt doesn't seem to work for me (complains about my firewall when I disable akk iptables rules and host is not behind router)16:42
jetoleis there another package I should be aware of to help me find the fastest mirrors?16:42
jetoleor... even better, I just want to simply test a host on a 100Mbps net connection, can anyone tell me anywhere where I can download a file and see close to that speed16:43
_rubenhmm .. ages ago i read about a method to install debian using a tool similar to (or possibly even using that) debootstrap .. cant seem to find it, nor any docs on an easy 'migration' from one linux distro to ubuntu16:46
_rubenah .. found the debian docs .. lets see if i can make this work for ubuntu16:47
jetole_ruben: did you try apt-cache search debootstrap because I found it pretty quickly on 7.10 server16:47
jetoleand then of coarse you just run apt-get install debootstrap16:48
_rubenjetole: well .. the goal is to migrate one of my fileservers from opensuse to ubuntu16:48
jetolemight want to comment out the CD in /etc/apt/sources.list16:48
jetole_ruben: well good luck with that buddy but all IO would expect is to move the files and then see what software configuration files are still compatible, most should be16:49
jetolebut don't expect it to run out of the box16:49
jetoleyou are trying to upgrade from one OS to another in a system that was never designed to do so16:49
ScottKParticularly from an RPM based distro to a Debian based distro.16:50
_rubenthe idea is to end up with a clean ubuntu install .. without me getting out the screwdrivers and all to hook up a cdrom drive ;)16:50
jetoleubuntu uses all different package names and neither OS is aware of the other ones packages16:50
_rubenso 'upgrade' or 'migrate' is a bit of an overstatement16:50
jetolewas SuSE rpm?16:50
ScottKSuSE uses rpm.16:50
jetole_ruben: if you want a clean install that would be a little more likely and easier16:51
jetoleScottK: huh, been a decade since I used it16:51
jetoledidn't like it then and don't want to try it now *cough*microsoft*cough*16:51
ScottKThere are scripts for booting off of a USB thumb drive out there.  You could perhaps boot Ubuntu off one of those and install from there.16:51
* ScottK used opensuse, but got tired of being thought of as an SLES beta tester who had no right to expect stuff to actually work.16:52
_rubenScottK: hmm .. hadnt thought about that one16:52
jetole"linux violates our patents, we won't tell you which ones but if you use our linux, I mean our partners linux, then we won't sue you for the patents that we won't admit exist"16:52
_rubenwe actually are using SLES9 at work currently .. working on migrating to ubuntu tho ;)16:52
ScottK:-)16:53
jetole_ruben: you can install a clean system from debootstrap, I have done it but it has been a few years since so I don't remember how16:53
jetolelook up a readme on it16:53
jetolea clean system from deboo strap can usually be done, although you may require a temp partition16:53
jetoleor you can just install the CD Rom, that takes about 5 minutes16:53
_rubengot a nice start here: http://www.underhanded.org/papers/debian-conversion/remotedeb.html .. tho i dont think i have any spare diskspace to repartition :/16:54
_rubenjetole: the install would go fast .. that is, once i have the cd in cdrom drive in that box .. it currently doesnt have one :)16:54
jetole_ruben: right but installing a CD ROM drive has always seemed easy to me16:55
jetolethen again, I am the only person I know who was building computers as an after school job when I was a freshmen in high school16:56
_rubenjetole: hehe .. the technical part aint the problem .. its the physical side of it .. its currently tucked in nicely between some other boxes with a fair share of cables hooked up and stuff like that :)16:57
_rubenhuh .. since when is /dev/sda1 etc used for pata disks? just upgraded another fileserver from feisty to gutsy16:59
jetole_ruben: for a while now17:05
jetoleI had a feisty box with a jmicron sata controller and HDD hooked up to both sata and pata and a sata cdrom, all disks appeared as sdX17:06
_rubenhmm .. hadnt noticed before .. then again, havent been playing with ubuntu much, yet17:06
ScottK_ruben: Since the kernel migrated to the new PATA code that's in the same module as the SATA/SCSI code.17:07
ScottKIt's a general kernel change, not Ubuntu specific.17:08
jetolethat sounds about right, I remember reading up on it some time ago17:08
jetoleanyways, hd = sd;17:08
_rubenScottK: figured as much .. suse being quite behind on the kernels, makes it a new feature for me on ubuntu ;)17:09
jetolewhat is the package I need to install to provide server kernel headers?17:09
=== mathiaz_ is now known as mathiaz
_rubenhmm .. 50 euros for external dvd writer .. not too bad17:09
_rubenjetole: the source is the same for server and desktop17:10
jetoleI never said it wasn't17:10
jetoleI asked what is the package I have to install to provide server kernel headers17:10
jetolesince the two use different kernels and there is a header specific package17:11
_rubenhmm .. actually .. i might be wrong17:11
_rubenindeed .. never looked at it this closely .. the source package is identical from what i gathered .. so i guess it'd be linux-headers-server17:11
jetole_ruben: I can type apt-get source <package> to install source for any package on either version of the distro17:11
jetoleI am trying to install vmware-server atm and it is looking for /usr/src/linux/include17:12
jetolenow I know that is the default spot for the raw kernel source headers but like I have done this a while ago and there is another package that provides this I beleive17:13
jetoleunless...17:13
* jetole tries sym linking /usr/include/linux to /usr/src/linux/include17:14
_rubenthat usualy doesnt work .. tho that's gathered from the few times i tried to get away easily that way .. havent tried on ubuntu tho17:14
_rubenlinux-headers-server it seems to be .. would require a symlink to /usr/src/linux tho .. or tell vmware to use the actual path17:16
jetoleactually neither one has worked so far, I am installing linux-source atm17:17
jetoleback to my initial question, does anyone in here know what tool would work well for finding the fastest mirrir to you?17:18
_rubenthat was actually my first thought, since vmware probably requires more than just the headers17:18
_rubeni recall a tool from that from my own early debian days, but have no clue about the name .. for me any dutch (me being dutch) mirror gives me full speed17:19
jetole_ruben: not in this case but the kernel headers that are provided here are different then the ones it needs17:19
_rubenodd17:19
jdstrandjetole: netselect (but haven't used it on ubuntu)17:19
jetole_ruben: apt-spy worked for me in the past and ended at feisty, netselect-apt seems not to work at all with firewall issues being reported when it is not behind a firewall, iptables, or a router17:20
jetole_ruben: there are actually two sets of kernel headers but I forget the difference17:20
jetoleone is used for the active kernel and one is used to compile programs against it17:20
_rubenic17:21
_rubenhmm .. my gutsy machine just kernel panic'ed on sudo halt17:29
_rubenmost of the backtrace scrolled away .. power down it is17:30
XiXaQWhere is IMAP mail stored? I've been trying to reset a users mailbox structure, but I can't find out why.17:50
XiXaQhow. :)17:50
sorenXiXaQ: IMAP servers look wherever you tell them to look. IMAP doesn't dictate the structure.17:56
XiXaQwell.. I deleted the user on both the server and the client, then recreated it. Still, the folder structure is fubar17:57

nealmcbToyKeeper: #ubuntu-meeting....21:05
ScottKlamont: Ping21:39
lamontackage21:39
ScottKI sent you a patch in Debian BTS today.21:40
ScottKhttp://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=34504721:40
ubotuDebian bug 345047 in postfix "Please add [::1]/128 to the Default mynetworks setting" [Normal,Open]21:40
ScottKI was thinking about how to handle the Postfix 2.4/5 transition in Ubuntu and I have a proposal for you.21:40
ScottKOn postfix-users, Weitse said today that he's going to release another update to 2.4 right after he releases 2.5.21:41
lamontok21:41
ScottKI was thinking it would be nice to get that last 2.4 bugfix uploaded to Hardy (either directly or via Debian) and then backported to Dapper/Edgy/Feisty/Gutsy and then we upgrade Hardy to 2.521:41
ScottKSo that the 2.4 backports are as bug fixed as we can get them.21:42
ScottKAlso, about the patch, I think Hardy is going to be around long enough that it'd be really good if it assumed IPv6 exists.21:43
ScottKI tested that on my test server and I think there's no performance downside to it.21:43
ScottKWhat do you think?21:43
lamontI like that idea21:43
lamontin the case where v6 doesn't exist (which means you can't install in debian-installer yet...), it already strips v6 - we _should_ make sure that it installs on a machine with no v621:44
lamontand yet assuming that v6 is there when it is is certainly the way to go21:44
mitchpis 8.04 going to be LTS?  I had heard that, but I wasn't sure what the schedule was21:44
ScottKYes.  It's planned for LTS21:45
lamont8.04 is LTS for ubuntu et al21:45
mitchpok that's what i was told, thanks21:45
lamontkubuntu is planning to not do LTS with 8.0421:45
* ScottK grumbles.21:45
mitchpkubuntu is jerks21:45
ScottKlamont: My Ubuntu boxen have IPv6 enabled, but no IPv6 connectivity.  Having the added values in mynetworks seems to cause no hard in that case.21:46
ScottKmitchp: Please don't make me argue with you.  I'm a Kubuntu developer too.21:46
mitchplol sry21:46
ScottKNo problem.21:46
lamontScottK: mv ipv6.ko out of lib/modules/$(uname -r) for the acid test21:47
ScottKOK.  I'll do that.21:47
ScottKThis would be why I have a test server, right?21:47
lamontand you'll need to reboot...21:48
ScottKYah.21:48
ScottKOnly 15 sets of modules on that machine ...21:48
ScottKRebooting.21:50

ScottKlamont: If there's a difference it's in milliseconds.21:59
lamontScottK: it was more a question of 'does it bitch' :-21:59
lamontifconfig or ip addr show lists no v6 addrs?21:59
* ScottK looks21:59
ScottKlamont: ifconfig shows no ipv6 addresses22:00
lamontwoot!22:00
* ScottK puts the kernel module back now...22:01
ScottKlamont: Anything else before I reboot again?22:01
lamontI'll get the change tested again today/tomorrow (I'm assuming we want this in 2.5 certainly, what about 2.4)?22:01
ScottKI think it matters most for 2.5.22:02
ScottKUp to you where you drop it in.22:02
lamontgiven that we want to backport 2.4 to warty-1, I'm inclined to make the change start with 2.5....22:02
ScottKFrom an Ubuntu perspective and future 2.4 work would be very unlikely to see this code in a new install.22:02
ScottKDapper actually, but yes.22:03
ScottKAgreed.22:03
* ScottK reboots again.22:03
ScottKlamont: Did you see my core-dev application?22:04
lamontsaw the mail, haven't actually gotten that deep in my mailbox today (or was it yesterday...)22:04
ScottKPlease send a nice vote of confidence real soon....22:04
ScottKIt was yesterday.22:04
lamontwill do today.22:05
ScottKJust think, if I'm approved, I won't need to bug you for the source backport for Dapper22:05
ScottKThanks.22:05
* lamont needs to run into town and do a couple things, then will be working through the email glut22:05
ScottKSee you later.22:06
ScottKlamont: After rebooting, I confirmed that ifconfig does in fact show an IPv6 loopback, so that we for sure had no IPv6 when it said we had no IPv6.22:21
