| somerville32 | Is there a gui that allows for easy management of ip aliases? | 02:21 |
| zul | like how? | 02:22 |
| zul | ie what do you want to manage | 02:22 |
| faulkes- | you mean managing ifcfg-eth0:X based interfaces, say for ip based web servers under apache | 02:40 |
| somerville32 | right | 02:49 |

| lightbook | hi, I'm trying to get a root login on ubuntu server, but it's giving me hell. | 03:18 |
| lightbook | I can't sudo anything and I can't modify the etc/sudoers file | 03:18 |
| qman | lightbook, root has no password by default on ubuntu | 03:18 |
| qman | lightbook, and the user you create during install is in the admin group, which gives that user full sudo privileges | 03:19 |
| lightbook | qman: it's giving me the "not an authorized user" bull. | 03:19 |
| qman | did you create the user after installing, or is it the user that was created during install? | 03:20 |
| lightbook | during the install. | 03:20 |
| qman | ok | 03:20 |
| qman | if you reboot the system, press escape to enter the Grub menu during boot, and boot with the (recovery mode) line | 03:20 |
| qman | it will drop you to a root prompt in single user mode | 03:20 |
| lightbook | alright. | 03:20 |
| lightbook | sweet, thanks | 03:21 |
| qman | from there, you should check if your user is in the admin group | 03:21 |
| qman | and if the admin group is in the sudoers file | 03:21 |
| faulkes- | somerville32: afaik there is no current gui for such management | 03:29 |

| CrummyGummy | Hi all, fsck is failing when checking my ext3 raid1 partition on boot. It says that the fs is either mounted or opened exclusively by another program. It is trying to check /dev/mapper/sda7 and not /dev/md4. Any ideas what could be causing this? | 07:13 |
| _ruben | CrummyGummy: a faulty setup of /etc/fstab .. it probably lists sda7 instead of md4 .. or your bootloader has been told to use sda7 as root instead of md4 | 07:19 |
| CrummyGummy | U'm using UUID to mount the fs, Lemme just double check its right. | 07:20 |
| CrummyGummy | /U'm/I'm/ | 07:21 |
| CrummyGummy | and its not mu root partition its /var | 07:22 |
| CrummyGummy | /mu/my/ | 07:22 |
| CrummyGummy | _ruben: Nope, its definitly pointing to /dev/md4. | 07:24 |
| CrummyGummy | well the UUID of anyway. | 07:24 |
| _ruben | hmm .. cant say i have much experience with using uuids so dunno if there could be going something wrong there | 07:25 |
| _ruben | afaik, fstab is the one and only place to define which disks get fsck'ed | 07:26 |
| CrummyGummy | I found a pointer towards blkid on the net. Still looking. | 07:29 |
| CrummyGummy | Well thats what you get for not reading up before doing, I ran blkid>/etc/blkid.tab and rebooted. Now its stuck. | 07:37 |
| * CrummyGummy is holding thumbs it'll unstick... | 07:37 | |
| CrummyGummy | woops, now /dev/md1 doesn't exist. eish,,, | 07:38 |
| kraut | moin | 08:04 |
| CrummyGummy | hi | 08:06 |
| CrummyGummy | Anybody got any idea what I missed? This is very obsure. | 08:12 |
| * CrummyGummy is going to change /dev/md1 to the UUID ( in grub) and see if it fixes it. | 08:15 | |
| soren | Do you use evms? | 08:18 |
| CrummyGummy | No, raid1 | 08:21 |
| CrummyGummy | plain mdadm | 08:22 |
| CrummyGummy | soren: Do you think I need to refresh my initrd? | 08:25 |
| soren | Do you have evms installed? | 08:25 |
| CrummyGummy | No, I removed it. | 08:25 |
| soren | Recently? | 08:25 |
| CrummyGummy | before refreshing the blkid.tab | 08:26 |
| CrummyGummy | So, yes. | 08:26 |
| soren | Did you try rebooting just after removing evms and doing nothing else? | 08:26 |
| CrummyGummy | well I removed evms refreshed the blkid.tab and rebooted. Now I am stuck. | 08:27 |
| soren | CrummyGummy: I don't think I've ever had a blkid.tab, and I'm happy.. :) | 08:28 |
| CrummyGummy | Well I didn't plan it.,,, Maybe removing it will work. | 08:28 |
| soren | That was what I was trying to say :) | 08:29 |
| CrummyGummy | lemme look | 08:29 |
| * CrummyGummy is holding thumbs | 08:30 | |
| CrummyGummy | bbl | 08:42 |
| CrummyGummy | soren: Thanks, I was looking in the wrong direction. I had messed up my mdadm.conf. After re-generating my initrd file it worked. | 09:11 |

| spiekey | hi | 09:33 |
| spiekey | soren: you there? ::) | 09:33 |
| soren | I am. | 09:34 |
| soren | I live here. | 09:34 |
| _ruben | hehe | 09:34 |
| spiekey | hehe | 09:34 |
| spiekey | i need some help or ideas about nss and ldap | 09:34 |
| spiekey | i use this script to install a samba pdc with nss and ldap : majen.net/smbldap/ | 09:35 |
| spiekey | my problem is that my virtual machines of my vmware server then dont start properly anymore | 09:35 |
| spiekey | if i comment out "ldap" in nsswitch.conf it works fine. | 09:35 |
| soren | Er.. Ok. | 09:35 |
| spiekey | in the syslog i get something like: slapd: bdb_equality_candidates: (uniqueMember) index_param failed (18) | 09:36 |
| spiekey | but i dont know if this is a serious error or just a message | 09:36 |
| soren | Have you checked the vmware forums? | 09:36 |
| spiekey | on my way :) | 09:36 |
| soren | spiekey: Is there a vmware system user? | 09:38 |
| soren | Are you running vmware server on an amd64 machine, perhaps? | 09:38 |
| spiekey | no, its a normal 386 box | 09:39 |
| spiekey | id: vmware: No such user | 09:40 |
| _ruben | soren: not sure if you're the one to ask, but any pointers what would be the 'best' virtualization method to run windows guests on an ubuntu host (the host being amd64) | 09:40 |
| soren | _ruben: I'd guess kvm, but I haven't done much testing of windows inside of it. It should work, thouhg. | 09:41 |
| spiekey | soren: the thing is that can click on "play" in my vmware server and nothing happens for about 2minutes. Then i get an gui error saying it could not start the machine. If i click play again it works. | 09:41 |
| spiekey | it always works after the 2nd time. | 09:41 |
| spiekey | quite weird, isnt it? | 09:41 |
| soren | Sort of. | 09:41 |
| soren | vmware has an annoying tendency to ship various libraries with their stuff. | 09:42 |
| soren | try "locate libnss_ldap.so" | 09:42 |
| _ruben | soren: i'll look into kvm when i have some time, tho hardy's version is quite superior to the gutsy one right? | 09:43 |
| soren | _ruben: *very* much so. | 09:44 |
| spiekey | . /lib/libnss_ldap.so.2 -> libnss_ldap-2.3.6.so | 09:45 |
| spiekey | . /usr/lib/libnss_ldap.so -> /lib/libnss_ldap.so.2 | 09:45 |
| spiekey | i am using ubuntu 6.06 by the way | 09:45 |
| _ruben | soren: by the time i get a chance to play with it, hardy might be aproaching its final state anyways, so might not be such a big problem ;) | 09:46 |
| _ruben | we're currently using vmware 1.0.4 on suse boxes, which seems to do the trick fairly well, tho performance isnt all that great | 09:46 |
| soren | spiekey: Well, my best guess is that vmware is using a different set of libnss libraries and borks because it can't look up users in ldap (probably because it's looking for a configuration file in the wrong place). | 09:51 |
| soren | spiekey: It's quite hard for me to tell whether that's anywhere near the truth or not, though. | 09:52 |
| spiekey | soren: i would have expected vmware to not work at all, but not the bahaviour like this :) | 09:52 |
| spiekey | i might try to strace the problem then | 09:52 |

| sommer | soren: morning, I've started a cli qemu install using virt-install and I can see a qemu process in ps -ef output | 14:46 |
| soren | sommer: Ok. | 14:46 |
| sommer | soren: but I can't connect to the console using virsh -c qemu:///system console | 14:46 |
| sommer | am I missing something | 14:46 |
| sommer | ? | 14:46 |
| soren | Do you have virt-viewer installed? | 14:46 |
| sommer | the message says no console for domain | 14:46 |
| sommer | yep | 14:47 |
| soren | Use that instead. | 14:47 |
| sommer | ah | 14:47 |
| soren | virt-viewer -c qemu:///system name-of-domain | 14:47 |
| sommer | getting a new error: (virt-viewer:8180): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: | 14:48 |
| sommer | I'm trying through ssh at the moment | 14:48 |
| sommer | the virsh list command works fine :-) | 14:49 |
| soren | Ah, have you set up X forwarding? | 14:49 |
| sommer | not that I know of | 14:50 |
| sommer | will do, though | 14:50 |
| sommer | so does qemu requre X? | 14:52 |
| sommer | and vnc? | 14:53 |
| sommer | x is being forwarded, but now the virt-viewer is wanting vnc | 14:53 |
| sommer | I did use the --nographics option, so that's probably expected | 14:53 |
| soren | Well, you're supposed to run virt-viewer from your *local* machine. | 14:54 |
| soren | However, that's blocking on netcat-openbsd landing in the archive. It will be a few days. | 14:54 |
| sommer | soren: gotcha, I'll try again this evening | 14:54 |
| soren | "a few days" :) | 14:54 |
| sommer | er... that too | 14:55 |
| sommer | thanks for the info, I wasn't finding much on qemu + virsh + console | 14:56 |

| sedega | is this normal? | 19:58 |
| leonel | why seems like lamp wasn't installed ? | 19:59 |
| sedega | because there is no sign of apache, mysql, php or python | 20:00 |
| sedega | i had to apt-get them | 20:00 |
| sedega | im just wondering | 20:00 |
| sedega | if i did something wrong | 20:00 |
| sedega | also can you help me disable system beeper for ubuntu server, i still need the beeper connected for a program, i just dont want any system beeps... | 20:03 |

| Gargoyle | greetings | 22:23 |
| owh | Greetings all. Booting off the Gutsy Server CD, how do I setup a RAID 1 for a new server? Is there a magic boot option to make that happen or am I expected to do this manually? | 22:55 |
| Nafallo | owh: manually | 23:32 |
| Nafallo | owh: or rather, via the menu options in the installer. | 23:32 |
| owh | Which menu options? | 23:33 |
| Nafallo | the ones that lets you setup harddisks ;-) | 23:33 |
| owh | All I see is Partition Disks, which gives me manual - no raid options seem apparent, or LVM, which I really don't want. | 23:33 |
| Nafallo | hmm | 23:34 |
| Nafallo | weird. | 23:34 |
| owh | Ooooh. I am going through the installation a second time. I booted with a LiveCD to see if the partitioner would help. It didn't but cfdisk allowed me to mark the types as raid autodetect. Now I see a raid option in the manual partitioning. | 23:35 |
| owh | Very nice. Not obvious to find, but very nice none-the-less. I'll do another trial to see if I can mark the types from within the installer, but so far I seem to have a method to build what I want. | 23:40 |
| owh | To have a "Guided Partition - RAID" there are a few steps, do a guided partition on disk#1, write changes, do another guided partition on disk#2, write changes, change partition types to raid for all partitions, then setup software raid, then set partition types for the raid partitions, then set mount points. | 23:51 |
| owh | Is there any reason why there isn't an installer option to create a guided raid? | 23:54 |
| owh | Or is there an assumption that if you know what RAID is and why it might be of benefit to you, you also know how to set it up? | 23:56 |
