[01:43] Ok, I'll try again...I'm trying to get Ubuntu to recognize and mount a Dell PowerVault 200s on an IBM Eserver x345 [01:49] iirc isn't x345 scsi controllers hostraid? [02:15] What would be some cool ways to make money off a server farm? [02:33] dts: raise eCattle [02:33] :-P [02:33] all depends on the size of the farm and what you can do with it [02:34] if you have a big enough farm, you could possibly rent out time on it as cluster for SC projects [02:34] wasnt Sun making a computing grid people could sell time into? [02:35] not sure [02:35] although obvious examples that do come to mind are amazons EC2 / S3 stuff [02:36] unless of course you count that entire "oops the entire thing fell down went boom for a couple hours" incident ;) [02:44] dts: sell render time to poor students in animation [02:45] selling to poor students [02:45] sounds like a failing business plan :-) [02:46] they buy books like its nobody's tomorrow [02:46] just sell cards redeemable for render time in the bookstores ;) [02:46] does any one here uses open ldap to auth each client from server (linux) when login in winxp (client) ? [02:47] dts: if you're good at programming, try mturk [02:47] they post these supposedly difficult tasks that humans can do [02:47] for cents a task [02:48] humans do it slowly, software generally doesn't exist to do it all is the idea [02:48] write the software and then have the cluster take out a thousand tasks at once. grab a few thousand for each task is the idea ;) [02:49] things like "find the amount of tax paid on the house on this form" [02:54] hmm [02:54] good idea [02:55] i looked at it [02:55] it pays like a penny a task [03:04] RingTailedFox: see likewise-open [03:04] a penny a task eh? I think I'll stick to my thinking tasks, they pay a heck of a lot more [03:08] faulkes-: i imagine if you do "abnormally well" they forward your contact info to HR ;) [03:15] I would hope not, HR is the devil [03:20] you know what i mean [03:21] dear AI genius, please help amazon take over the world [03:27] yeah, I don't think that would happen [03:27] amazon is doing some cool stuff but I'm just not into the company [03:28] well, not unless they were to make a significantly appropriate offer ;) [03:30] i think if you were to solve some of those computer vision HIT sets they'd find the money somewhere ;) [03:32] I'm afraid I'm probably not that bright ;) [03:32] but I can mix up a mean dirty martini [03:33] that should count for something [03:35] well, it takes extra bright people to make money from computer clusters ;) [03:40] I think I'll stick to the martini's ;) [05:55] hello! is anybody here could help me? my postfix won't send and receive messages...thanls.. [05:58] I just can't run the postfix.. [06:08] have you read the official server documentation and the community based documentation yet [06:09] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers [06:15] yes..But its not still functioning [06:16] M sure no port has been blocked since I could telnet port 25 [06:16] and I have all the control in all ports in our public IP [07:00] Just curious. I installed ubuntu-server (7.10) and when i booted it up, it saied "PANIC: cpu too old for kernel" but i have a pentium M and i've run regular ubuntu before. anyone know why? [07:10] rhineheart: then check your logs /var/log, that will likely indicate what the problem is [07:11] noodles: boot into recovery if possible, or via a live cd, see which kernel is installed [07:11] is it possible to add authentication like SSL to a folder in var/www/site/subfolder? [07:11] SSL is not authentication, it is encryption [07:12] but yes, you can use https:// based url's if you configure the server for such [07:12] that however, will only encrypt the traffic between the client and server, it will not authenticate anything (other than the certificate) [07:14] can I still download files if I will be using ssl? [07:15] yes [07:16] is it possible to only encrypt the login then after that it will go back automatically to http? [07:20] yes, that is possible [07:22] how to do it? [07:23] I refer you to the community documentation, please read that first and make an attempt yourself [07:24] if you then have problems, come back with questions and logs / errors so we can understand what is happening [07:29] Is any of you here running ISPConfig? [07:41] faulkes: I got that error.. [07:42] rrrr, ispconfig. i once had a customers server with ispconfig, but didnt like it :) [07:43] why? somethings wrong with it? [07:45] its a mess [07:57] okay.. have you tried their latest version? [08:45] rhineheart_m: no, we don't use any 'panel' for managing servers [08:46] have you tried using webmin? [08:46] i have one customer using webmin [08:46] henkjan: I like its functionality [08:46] henkjan: okay.. [08:46] its breaking configfiles [08:46] henkjan: really? [08:47] rhineheart_m: well, we you once use webmin, you can't use cli anymore [08:48] henkjan: I have two domains.. and its nameservers are pointing to my public IP now.. how can I host them with different CMS each? [08:49] moin [08:49] rhineheart_m: http://www.debuntu.org/2006/02/22/7-virtual-hosting-using-apache-2 [08:50] henkjan: thanks..do you know how to completely remove postgresql? [08:52] apt-get remove --purge $packagename [09:56] having problems with setting up LDAP. there is no conf file in /usr/local/etc/openldap and when i just edited /etc/ldap/slapd.conf. . it says "no conf file found in there" when i typed $ /etc/init.d/slapd restart. any help? [09:56] /usr/local/etc sounds like FreeBSD [09:57] yeah ^^ [09:57] henkjan, iam using kubuntu [09:57] or a weird custom install [09:57] did you install openldap by hand? [09:57] or using dpkg/apt-get ? [09:57] henkjan, Kamping_Kaiser the openldap site showed me that. i thought it was talking about linux [09:58] no. i did it by apt [09:58] apt .ya [09:58] /etc/ldap/slapd.conf is there. i edited it. but when i restarted it by the above command. it says no conf in there [09:59] what the heck is going on [09:59] then yoru after /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/ldap/slapd.conf [09:59] AlferedHichcok, give us the whole error please [09:59] and check syslog for relevent info [09:59] (eg, are you restarting slapd with sudo?) [09:59] ok. wait [09:59] having problems with setting up LDAP. there is no conf file in /usr/local/etc/openldap and when i just edited /etc/ldap/slapd.conf. . it says "no conf file found in there" when i typed $ /etc/init.d/slapd restart. any help?

[10:00] If you have moved the slapd configuration file please modify [10:00] /etc/default/slapd to reflect this. If you chose to not [10:00] configure slapd during installation then you need to do so [10:00] prior to attempting to start slapd. [10:00] An example slapd.conf is in /usr/share/slapd [10:00] !tell AlferedHichcok about pastebin [10:01] AlferedHichcok, and if you restart with sudo what happens?

[11:51] find ./ * |wc -l [11:51] but i also counts . and .. [11:58] <_ruben> `find -type f | wc -l` for files only === lionel_ is now known as lionel [13:33] hmm, receiving a shipment of ubuntu-server cds from canonical [13:34] nice [13:34] but, how do they know where i work? [13:36] i recently joined the ubuntu-server team [13:36] but afaik didnt mention my employer [13:38] i also didn't know there were server cd's available [13:38] well, nice giveaways for our customers [13:38] hi. [13:39] hello [13:39] hi [13:39] you guys known how to create a bootable cd with ms-dos? I need to flash an SMDC/IPMI board, but its failing in Linux :( [13:40] hrmm never made a bootable cd rom before, made plenty fo bootable floppy disks and usb drives [13:40] you can make a boot usb drive by formating it with the /system option [13:41] jjesse, humm a flash drive is good enough too :D [13:41] jjesse, I just need to go into cmd.exe and type format x: /system ? [13:42] rgl: is the computer you are running dos? [13:42] or is it a linux box? [13:42] jjesse, not really. its windows vista. [13:43] jjesse, I can use linux too. [13:43] rgl: in vista you can't create a bootdisk w/ the format command [13:43] it was in win98 or earlier that you could use the format x: /system command [13:43] oh I only have vista :/ [13:43] check out www.bootdisk.com for some more information [13:43] http://www.allbootdisks.com/download/iso.html ? [13:43] they have bootdisks for dos/9x/nt/2k/xp [13:43] they seem to have boot disks too :D [13:44] ah thx :D [13:44] http://bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm [13:44] is what i use when i need a bootdisk [13:45] which one do you use to write into flash? [13:46] i use one of the ultiies at the main page if i remember correctly [13:57] how to edit an .iso file? that is, I have to boot disk, but what to push some files into it [14:22] Hello, I have Postfix up and running with virtual domains, great. But the problem is, Im relaying with my ISP, and the sender gets "relaying denied" mails back. I think I narrowed the problem down, it has something to do with "ident callbacks" how do i disable this in postfix? [14:25] Are you doing the ident callbacks or is someone doing them to you? [14:26] In Postfix it's called SAV (Sender Address Verification) and it's not done by default. [14:26] ScottK: setup: mailserver-->ISPrelayhost--> Gmail [14:27] ScottK: when im sending from gmail to mailserver, i am getting relaying denied. [14:27] sergevn: pastebin the relevant bits from /var/log/mail.log [14:28] ScottK: nothing relevant there :) [14:28] ScottK: Let me double check [14:28] sergevn: add the domain for wich you are receiving to /etc/postfix/main.cf mydestination = [14:28] sergevn: If it's your postfix that's getting rejected then it will be. [14:29] henkjan: I think he's sending, not receiving. [14:29] ScottK: " when im sending from gmail to mailserver, i am getting relaying denied." [14:29] Ah. [14:29] henkjan: so im receiving :) [14:30] OK. So it's not mailserver-->ISPrelayhost--> Gmail [14:30] What henkjan says it probably what you need then. [14:31] ScottK: Gmail --> ISPrelayhost --> mailserver [14:31] ScottK: yeah sorry :) [14:31] ScottK: when my mailserver is long time up, im getting emails, no problem, when i restarted it, it takes hours to get emails. [14:32] sergevn: So far you've described at least two different problems. Let's fix one at a time. [14:33] ScottK: i think they are linked [14:33] sergevn: Please pastebin the output of postconf -n [14:33] morning [14:34] morning zul [14:34] hi ScottK [14:34] mathiaz: I think we ought to add ntp to the list of server packages. It's in desperate need of some bug triage at the very least. [14:34] ScottK: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5005/ [14:34] looking [14:35] ScottK: local mail traffic works [14:35] sergevn: As henkjan, add the domain you're receiving mail for to mydestination. It's not in mydestination = manny.local, localhost.local [14:36] ScottK: does it also has to be in mydestination if it are virtual domains? [14:36] Yes. [14:36] That's how Postfix knows it's supposed to deliver mail for those domains. [14:36] locally I mean. [14:38] can anyone recommend a good remote administration package for a fresh 7.10 server? I love the command shell, honest I do, but other administrators just can't handle it. =] [14:38] and the only other one I remember, webmin, has been disowned by the Ubuntu community. [14:39] LupusNoctis: ebox might be an option in hardy [14:39] that's the next version, right? I kinda need something to help me configure the 7.10 server I set up yesterday. [14:40] specifically something to help manage the ethernet interfaces. Managed to get the thing a DHCP addy, but eventually it needs to be static [14:40] If by disowned, you mean recognized that the way webmin works is fundamentally incompatible with the Debian package management system, then yes (about webmin). [14:41] that's what I heard. =] [14:41] LupusNoctis: That's just a matter of editing /etc/network/interfaces. It's not particularly needing a gui. [14:42] I hate to admit it, but it took me about 4 minutes to remember what program to use to edit text files. =\ been far too long since I've set up a linux box [14:42] LupusNoctis: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5007/ [14:42] LupusNoctis: /etc/network/interfaces is trivial [14:42] what imap server is suggested for a server running postfix? [14:43] AnRkey: dovecot [14:43] henkjan, is it easy? [14:43] apt-get install dovecot [14:43] it's trivial if you remember how. =] [14:43] haha ok [14:44] maybe little tweaking needed in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf [14:44] ScottK: it's not the problem, it worked before without those domains added to the config, they are delivered to virtual domains [14:44] and I want to use a semi-catch-all account for incoming email [14:44] sergevn: OK. Then show logs. [14:44] one account with an alias for each extra user [14:44] i am installing postfix now [14:44] it's asking what mode to install it as [14:44] AnRkey: thats not configured in your imap server but in your MTA [14:45] i know [14:45] still busy with the postfix install [14:45] what is a smarthost? [14:46] smarthost is eg smtp server from your isp [14:46] ahh ok [14:46] some isps block outgoing port 25 [14:46] then it's internet with smarthost [14:46] this looks easy enough [14:46] yeah i think thats the case here [14:47] gonna use my isp for outgoing [14:47] and fetchmail for incoming [14:47] thanks henkjan [14:47] np :) [14:49] ScottK: Ok, by the location of the moon it started working again, definitly problem/policy of my ISP for relaying email if server is down [14:49] ScottK: (without changing any configs) [14:49] OK. [14:49] * AnRkey is in love with ubuntu [14:49] is that normal? [14:49] ScottK: henkjan: thanks for the help :) [14:49] AnRkey: yep. here the same :) [14:49] It may be that if your ISP think's you're down it queues up your mail for awhile before it retries. That's actually sensible. [14:50] i find myself handing out cd's every chance i get [14:50] ScottK: ah well, at least my mail doesnt get lost :) [14:53] henkjan, Package dovecot is not available, but is referred to by another package. [14:54] just done an apt-get update too [14:54] ahh [14:54] dovecot-imapd [14:54] thanks anyhoo [15:05] afternoon nijaba [15:11] hello faulkes-, actually it is morning in boston [15:20] ah [15:21] hadn't realized you'd flown over yet [15:21] hope all is well [15:28] faulkes-: all is well, thanks :) what about you? [15:33] long night last night [15:33] between regex, perl dbi, oo php and project management coursework I didn't get to bed until late [15:34] wow sounds busy [15:34] oh and a client had an emergency they needed me to deal with [15:34] i'm glad my clients don't have emergencies i deal with :) [15:34] * faulkes- is good at multi-tasking [15:34] * faulkes- is better at it after a couple good belts of scotch though [15:35] well, emergency on there part, which does not particularly equate to an emergency on mine ;) [15:35] but dollars are dollars [15:37] oh and a side note, if you ever try to install xp sp2 on a g4 350mhz via qemu, don't unless you have 4 days to wait for it to install ;) [15:39] hopefully today will be a much slower day for me though [15:41] hopefully [15:41] interseting never tried to install xp on any mac before [15:44] hello, i am using apt-mirror to mirror gutsy for my local lan and the issue is this: [15:45] whoops [15:46] your issue is you disconnect from irc? [15:46] don't you hate it when you forgot to finish the problem and then hit enter [15:46] so, some people put "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted" in their mirror.list [15:46] * faulkes- checks apt-mirror for irc dependencies [15:46] lol :) [15:46] i cant get used to this new laptop [15:46] so i mistype and misclick [15:47] i was wondering if i can put "deb http://mk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted universe" (and the same for gutsy-updates and gutsy-security) [15:48] as oposed to having separate entries [15:49] ill just paste the 3 lines... [15:49] deb http://mk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted universe [15:49] deb http://mk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates main restricted universe [15:49] deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security main restricted universe [15:50] i built the mirror with only the first line, apt-mirror is currently downloading files for gutsy-updates and gutsy-security [15:54] anyone please? [15:57] mathiaz: Would there be any chance of you merging cyrus-sasl2 soon? I think we definitely want it (adding saslfinger to our package is enough by itself, but there's also a security fix), but I'm unlikely to have time this week. [15:57] i dont understand the repo mechanism very well, and i just need to know if that will work [15:58] ScottK: I can have a look at it. [16:00] mathiaz: Great. I did check with pitti and the changes debian made to his libdb4.6 migration patch are fine. [16:10] hi all [16:21] Im i run ps auxw it shows /usr/bin/mysqld_safe using up 98.3% CPU time? Does anyone what could be wrong or how i can resulve the problem?? [16:21] If* [16:21] Though if i run uptime, it'll only show load average: 1.44, 1.30, 1.28 [16:27] Jaac: all depends what mysqld is doing [16:28] use the mysql cli client and issue a "show processlist" [16:28] err, "show processlist;" without quotes that is [16:29] depending on your tables, I would also check to see if any of them need to be repaired === vjl323_ is now known as vjl323 === faulkes- is now known as faulkes-alt [17:32] ok so do I add my network to the changes I make for PostfixAmavisNew? the changes are just putting 127.0.0.1 === faulkes-alt is now known as faulkes- [17:50] hey all [17:50] so I know this is a dumb question but how do I add a user to a group? [17:52] nevermind === MenZa is now known as {MenZa} === {MenZa} is now known as MenZa === MenZa is now known as {MenZa} === {MenZa} is now known as MenZa === MenZa is now known as \user{MenZa} === \user{MenZa} is now known as MenZa [18:35] nijaba: oh, see my attachment for the privacy statement [18:36] faulkes-: I think I did and already replied to your bug. Have you updated it? [18:37] nm, I just looked at the site ;) [18:37] saw your comment [19:17] hey mathiaz [19:53] yrkk a process somewhere is sitting on my usual nick :-( [19:55] Sigh...how do I list the groups that exist in the cli? [19:55] vaughn: cat /etc/group [19:55] sommer: thank you! [19:55] heh, np === mok0_ is now known as mok0 === chuck_ is now known as zul [20:27] Is there a boot opt without PAE? (or highmem646g, whichever is causing the "please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU." boot failure) [21:40] [21:44] [21:47] nealmcb: yo [21:47] heh [21:53] sommer: howdy [21:54] ahh - hmm - wonder what I was doing there.... [22:08] Does Ubuntu Server automatically run updates, or do you need to do them manually? (by default) [22:14] You have to do it manually by default. [22:14] hi sommer [22:14] ScottK: okay, thanks [22:15] faulkes-: it just worked great, thanks :) [22:17] anthony: to apply updates automatically, install unattended-upgrade [22:19] faulkes-: what's your feeling on bug #195838 [22:19] Launchpad bug 195838 in server-survey "Alphabetization of answers" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/195838 [22:20] ah, I looked at that, I'm currently undecided on it [22:20] I will add a note tonight after dinner and some time to consider it (8pm est'ish) [22:20] faulkes-: no hurry.. Just wanted to know. [22:21] * faulkes- nods [22:21] we have meeting tomorrow, so I'd like to get as many ducks in a row and all that [22:21] nijaba: Will that need any configuration, or just install it and leave it? [22:21] faulkes-: I did look at our graph. Pretty neat [22:22] nijaba: well, that's just the first part of it, I'm currently working on the individual breakdown categories [22:23] antony: should be configured when you install it. Check for a new entry /etc/cron.daily [22:23] faulkes-: cool [22:26] first one is sort of the 10,000 ft. look at what is happening, then drill down to category, then to topic/issues, then to related posts [22:29] I'm also including by date, so it can be looked at in total or by month as time goes by [22:30] whats the url for the forum again? [22:32] http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=7 [22:32] thanks [22:35] I also bumped your eBox post again so it gets more visibility [23:10] okies
