| owh | In case anyone is watching, it all worked as expected after the hoop-jumping, boots up, happy, all good. | 00:20 |
|---|---|---|
| foo | Hm, what log files do you guys believe needs to be checked? syslog and messages? | 00:31 |
| owh | foo, checked, for what? | 00:36 |
| foo | for the sake of maintenance and making sure everything is running good | 00:37 |
| owh | foo: Well, the answer, as usual, is: "It depends." - If you're running samba, then the logs for mysql will be of little use to you. Similarly, an ftp server maintains different logs from a print server. So really, depending on the services you're running, the logs differ. | 00:49 |
| foo | owh: hm, actually, fair enough - now I see how that question I asked isn't necessarily the greatest question I've asked :) Thanks. | 00:50 |
| owh | foo, It happens to all of us at some time or other :) | 00:52 |
| foo | :) | 00:53 |
| jackfusion | hi all | 02:34 |
| jackfusion | how is every one tonight? | 02:35 |
| jackfusion | Is there any one in here at all? | 02:35 |
| faulkes- | yes, there are people in here ;) some of us just got home though | 03:04 |
| qman | I was wondering if anyone here had suggestions for setting up an extremely minimal X environment on ubuntu server | 03:27 |
| qman | I tried just installing xorg and icewm with a few deps, and it runs | 03:28 |
| qman | but it won't shut down | 03:28 |
| faulkes- | what wont shutdown? | 03:28 |
| qman | X | 03:28 |
| qman | if I try to stop X by any method at all | 03:28 |
| faulkes- | not that I recommend using X on a server at all, however | 03:28 |
| qman | I can't go back to a terminal, and the system won't shut down | 03:29 |
| qman | well, this isn't for a server | 03:29 |
| qman | I'm just using server because it's stripped down | 03:29 |
| faulkes- | ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't kill X for you? | 03:29 |
| qman | it does | 03:29 |
| qman | but X never comes back up | 03:29 |
| qman | and my terminal never shows up | 03:29 |
| qman | it just goes blank | 03:29 |
| qman | my goal in this | 03:30 |
| qman | is to create the smallest install footprint I can | 03:30 |
| qman | to run vmware server and the console on the same box | 03:30 |
| faulkes- | X will switch itself over to usually tty6 or 7, did you try going back to tty1 or whatever where you launched X? | 03:30 |
| qman | yes | 03:30 |
| qman | with X running, if I try to switch terminals | 03:30 |
| qman | my screen just goes blank | 03:31 |
| qman | and I'm stuck again | 03:31 |
| qman | I installed xinit to start X, and installed xfonts-base | 03:31 |
| qman | other than that, just dependencies | 03:31 |
| faulkes- | how are you starting X? | 03:32 |
| qman | startx | 03:32 |
| faulkes- | anything being logged to dmesg or /var/log/Xorg.0.log? | 03:33 |
| qman | nothing helpful | 03:33 |
| qman | the last things in Xorg.0.log | 03:34 |
| qman | are initializing the mouse | 03:34 |
| faulkes- | type of video card and driver? | 03:35 |
| qman | video card is an nvidia GeForce 8600GTS, I didn't install any proprietary drivers | 03:35 |
| qman | driver is "vesa" | 03:36 |
| qman | aha | 03:37 |
| qman | I changed it to "nv" | 03:37 |
| qman | and it all works | 03:37 |
| qman | thanks for the hint | 03:37 |
| * faulkes- nods | 03:37 | |
| faulkes- | yw | 03:37 |
| foo | Hm, is there a way to save a file in vim when I piped something to it? from the man page: s filename seems to do it... but I can't seem to get that to work. It just says "log file in use" | 04:14 |
| faulkes- | could you give a cli example | 04:21 |
| faulkes- | like vi | cat /tmp/file or somesuch? | 04:21 |
| foo | doh! I mean, less | 04:24 |
| faulkes- | again, can you show me a cli example? | 04:38 |

| ivoks | i'm from doing changes in dovecot and installing full stack trough tasksel (including maildir) | 09:19 |
| Gargoyle | Morning all | 09:22 |
| CrummyGummy | Hiya | 10:39 |
| faulkes- | I am less than amused with the hour at which I am still awake and others considering "morning" | 10:51 |
| faulkes- | I must be getting old | 10:51 |
| faulkes- | good morning folks | 10:52 |
| _ruben | faulkes-: that's what "gug" is for: Generic UTC Greeting | 10:54 |
| _ruben | so, gug ;) | 10:54 |
| faulkes- | see what I mean about old? I can barely manage a LOL | 10:58 |
| Gargoyle | lol | 11:01 |
| Gargoyle | however, if it is a UTC greeting, then Morning would be accurate! | 11:01 |
| faulkes- | just past 6am here, I went to bed at like midnight, havent slept a wink so I've been trolling the support forums for unanswered posts to help with | 11:06 |
| tjaalton | huh, I sent an email to u-s@, but I got a bounce saying that I'm not subscribed which is not true | 11:09 |
| Gargoyle | faulkes-: You got a bit of insomnia or are you just a night owl? | 11:09 |
| faulkes- | Gargoyle: something like insomnia but not quite | 11:10 |
| faulkes- | I suppose if I really wanted to sleep I could just go read the opening chapter of the PMBOK which is enough to put even the most hardcore insomniac to sleep | 11:10 |
| Gargoyle | lol | 11:11 |
| faulkes- | (project management body of knowledge) for those not familiar with the term | 11:11 |
| Gargoyle | but project management is funnnnnnnnnnn Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz | 11:12 |
| faulkes- | actually, I rather enjoy project management, the actual application thereof | 11:12 |
| faulkes- | having to read about it, well, that's an entirely different story | 11:13 |
| faulkes- | I swear I've cut myself on sharper spoons the authors are so dull | 11:14 |
| Gargoyle | ha ha ha | 11:15 |
| faulkes- | I should write a PM book so cutting edge and thrilling it would be the spork of the PM world | 11:16 |
| Gargoyle | get some sleep first... | 11:16 |
| faulkes- | probably not a bad idea, I'm getting punchy | 11:18 |
| Gargoyle | Anyone know of any good webmail installs that work well with postfix+dovecott using both pop/imap email types? | 11:29 |
| Znuff | Hello. My Asus Mainboard has 2 Marvell SATA controllers but my fresh ubuntu install only sees the disk on the 1st one, not the second one. These is what lspci returns: | 11:47 |
| Znuff | 02:00.0 RAID bus controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE6121 SATA II Controller (rev b1) | 11:47 |
| Znuff | 04:00.0 RAID bus controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE6121 SATA II Controller (rev b2) | 11:47 |
| Znuff | Anyone knows what's wrong? :-/ | 11:48 |
| ivoks | which ubuntu is that? | 12:09 |
| Znuff | ivoks, 7.10 | 12:09 |
| ivoks | http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html#marvell | 12:12 |
| Znuff | found that, but it doesn't say anything on how to fix it | 12:12 |
| ivoks | try disabling raid functions in bios | 12:13 |
| ivoks | let them be, what they are - just sata controllers | 12:13 |
| Znuff | uhm :-| | 12:13 |
| Znuff | ok, I'll try that too | 12:13 |
| ivoks | linux software raid is better than those fakeraids | 12:14 |
| Znuff | ivoks, that's what I'm trying to do | 12:15 |
| Znuff | ivoks, got 5 hdds and an optical drive on the sata controllers | 12:15 |
| Znuff | 1 hdd for the OS, 4 for RAID5 | 12:15 |
| lamont | ScottK: 2.4.7 | 12:56 |
| ScottK | Cool. | 12:56 |
| ScottK | lamont: Then I'd say let's go with the original plan, get that in and then backport it. | 12:57 |
| Znuff | any ideas if there's a 2.6.23 or 2.6.24 kernel backported to 7.10? :-/ | 12:57 |
| zul | no there isnt | 12:58 |
| Znuff | :-/ | 12:59 |
| zul | 2.6.24 is for hardy you will have to compile the kernel yourself if you want to run 2.6.23 or 2.6.24 | 13:04 |
| Gargoyle | woo hoo snow.... rain... hail the size of marbles! | 13:16 |
| Gargoyle | Damit... I need to go out - letters to post, banking to do, blah blah blah... I am going to get drowned, blown away and frozen. | 13:16 |
| Gargoyle | And that means I'll miss hollyoaks! ;) | 13:17 |
| Gargoyle | back later... | 13:18 |
| Gargoyle | maybe! | 13:18 |
| coolbhavi | Can we use drivers of desktop edition in server edition | 13:54 |
| coolbhavi | ? | 13:54 |
| ScottK | coolbhavi: Please ask a more specific question. | 13:55 |
| ScottK | What exactly is it you are trying to do? | 13:55 |
| coolbhavi | My wireless driver failed on server edition | 13:55 |
| coolbhavi | so i am thinking to use desktop drivers.. | 13:56 |
| coolbhavi | Is it possible? | 13:56 |
| pepperjack | worst case you apt-get the generic desktop kernel | 13:58 |
| ScottK | coolbhavi: I suspect they are the same. | 13:58 |
| ScottK | As pepperjack says, you could install the generic kernel and try that, but I'd be suprised if it made a difference. | 13:59 |
| coolbhavi | OK.. I ll get the desktop kernel.. and try..... | 13:59 |
| faulkes- | I would have to agree, I would first look at what wireless card you are using and why those drivers are failing, if it is a driver issue at all | 14:00 |
| coolbhavi | OK | 14:00 |
| coolbhavi | thanks for the info.. | 14:01 |
| ikonia | you can't use the restricted device manager package onthe server package | 14:03 |
| ikonia | if your intalling the ubuntu desktop and the ubuntu-generic kernel, you may as well install the desktop CD | 14:03 |
| coolbhavi | OK | 14:03 |
| * soren hugs nealmcb for raising the sanity level in that pointless Samba bug thread | 17:25 | |
| sommer | heh... that one was going into crazy land | 17:39 |
| nealmcb | soren: :-) | 18:18 |
| nealmcb | soren: thanks for working hard to keep the tone of that conversation civil. not easy! | 18:19 |
| nealmcb | especially when that isn't even the place for a conversation.... | 18:19 |
| _Drax | Ive just recently joined the ubuntu community by installing the server edition on my standalone computer, first reason I did was I needed a webserver and the LAMP solution was perfect. Im now interested in suggestions on what more I can use it for. I will join the NTP pool project and if you know more things like those please let me know. | 19:05 |
| telexicon | I am running ubuntu server on a dell poweredge 2650.. I have 4GB of ram but it is recognizing only 256MB. Is there a way to fix this? | 20:05 |
| ivoks | install mode? | 20:07 |
| ivoks | some servers have bios option 'OS install mode' | 20:07 |
| telexicon | oh, let me check that | 20:07 |
| telexicon | yes it was | 20:12 |
| telexicon | :S ... thanks | 20:12 |

| mathiaz | bug #179905 | 20:31 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 179905 in mysql-dfsg-5.0 "Bus Error when attempting to access MySQL Server using host name" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/179905 | 20:31 |
| mathiaz | zul: did you find a reference in mysql upstream bug database ? | 20:33 |
| zul | not yet.. | 20:33 |
| mathiaz | zul: it seems that it's a problem in libnss | 20:34 |
| mathiaz | zul: it may be better to get gethostbyname_r fixed in there rather than adding a workaround in mysql-dfsg | 20:35 |
| zul | ill get more information from the user | 20:37 |
| electrofreak | I need help with apache on ubuntu 7.10 | 23:26 |
| leonel | electrofreak: and the error or help you need is ?? | 23:26 |
| electrofreak | leonel, Well... It's kind of a problem on most distros by default... permissions. How can I make it so that scripts and what not get executed by the owning user? | 23:27 |
| electrofreak | php, for instance. If it wants to write a while.... it isn't actually able to unless the directory gives write permissions to apache | 23:28 |
| electrofreak | *write a file | 23:28 |
| electrofreak | this can certainly be done by vhosts, correct? | 23:29 |
| sherl0k | anyone have a good grasp on mysql configs? | 23:45 |
| leonel | electrofreak: you can use apache-prefork and configure so the apache fork runs as the user you want | 23:53 |
| leonel | sherl0k: sorry PostgreSQL here ;-) | 23:53 |
