[02:46] anyone tried dual booting Solaris10 and Ubuntu? [02:46] on Sparc, fwiw [02:52] not that i know... personally don't have a sparc box to play with [02:53] we just got one here, and we were hoping to play with both systems. gues i'll have to try it and see [02:54] I can't imagine it would be any more difficult than dual booting OSX/ubuntu on ppc [02:54] which isn't terribly difficult [02:54] granted, apples/oranges there on arch's [02:55] 'zactly [03:04] still, the ubuntu team is usually fairly good at making those things painless [05:20] anybody here who could recommend a reliable and fast nameserver? [05:34] bind9 [05:46] Scott: can you point to me a best guide on how to configure bind9 server? [05:49] rhineheart_m: Best is subjective, a simple good should get you what you want :) [05:49] foo: thanks foo... but what are you using? [05:50] rhineheart_m: here's the development guide for bind9: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/server/C/dns.html [05:51] covers setting up a caching nameserver as well as primary and secondary master servers [05:51] sommer: I got this error right after I installed bind9 [05:53] Kamping_Kaiser: see sommer link above [05:56] rhineheart_m: ah, I'm using bind9 ... that's where it's at, hands down [05:56] really? wow that's great [05:57] Is Kamping_Kaiser here? [05:57] rhineheart_m: Yup :) [06:17] hi there [06:21] ... [06:22] hi [06:22] well nice of you to say so [06:23] i'm going to not get offended by that [06:23] as i'm going to assume good faith [06:23] tell me, does the LAMP install of 6.06 set up any users for sql? [06:24] i dont know [06:25] but i dont expect it would [06:26] so what benefits, if any, does the LAMP server option do? i thought it made it easier. [06:27] it installs a lamp stack, which i would assume is a benefit. what exact benefit i dont know, as i havent used that install option [06:27] hmm. [06:28] they should have a command-line wizard or something. that would be unique. [06:30] oh well. i had trouble installing just mysql, this lamp option might prove useful. [06:39] can anybody here recommend webmin? [06:40] yes. [06:40] !tell rhineheart_m about webmin [06:41] although i use ssh for most of my server commands, it does have its uses. [06:41] configuring websites, mysql, etc. [06:41] foo: yeah.. it's easier there to add databases than ssh right? [06:42] AtomicSpark: do you use ISPConfig? [06:42] rhineheart_m: never heard of it. is it a addon (whatever they call it) for webmin? [06:43] AtomicSpark: nope.. It's a web interface utility for servers like webmin [06:48] ah. webmin is a web interface though. :P [06:49] okay. i'm lost. how do i create a user in mysql? its CREATE USER user [IDENTIFY BY [PASSWORD] 'password'] ... Explain how to use that. [06:49] CREATE USER fred IDENTIFIED BY 'randomstring'; [06:49] also ask in #mysql for any guides to using it [06:50] AtomicSpark: I thought you're using webmin.. it simplier there.. you try.. [06:51] i don't have it installed on this machine. just a local VM to test sql statements on. [06:52] try phpmyadmin if you need a gui for mysql [06:52] dont use webmin. its evil [06:52] kgoetz: are you ubuntu developer? [06:53] rhineheart_m: no [06:53] * AtomicSpark <3 phpmyadmin [06:53] kgoetz: okay...have you tried using webmin? [06:54] rhineheart_m: a long time ago [06:54] kgoetz: you try their latest version before you say that [06:54] rhineheart_m: why? i dont have to cut my arm to know its going to hurt [06:55] br [06:55] b [06:55] kgoetz: in a local machine if you like...tell me why you don't like webmin? [06:55] kgoetz: you must have a bad experience with it in the past [06:56] rhineheart_m: hm, easier than adding databases than ssh? Hmm [06:57] foo: yeah! I found it easier. And in fact you could view/monitor the status of your box there.. [06:57] rhineheart_m: Adding databases, you mean, mysql databases? [06:57] kgoetz: I tried the latest version of ebox and almost ruin my box [06:58] foo: good thing I was able to reverse the process [06:58] rhineheart_m: bad experiances, like hours wasted on irc helping people who had broken their configs using webmin is the main cause... [06:59] kgoetz: I see.. they broke their configs since they don't know much about configurations I supposed.. [06:59] ebox i cant comment on (past i dont like the look of it) [06:59] kgoetz: what is lacking in webmin is the support [06:59] what is lacking in webmin is leaving the configs human changeable [06:59] safely changing files, using debconf, actual security and probably a whole lot more [07:00] what i love in webmin..they have file manager [07:00] you could easily move, copy, and a lot more. that pertains to file manipulation [07:01] * kgoetz shudders [07:01] luckily for me, its the end of the work day :) [07:01] catch you all tomorrow [07:01] okay.. have a wonderful evening [09:04] hmm, just installed ebox on my (hardy) workstation [09:12] Hi [09:16] Do you know of any tutorial explaining how to properly setup shared hosting on an Ubuntu machine? [09:17] RainCT_school: http://www.debuntu.org/2006/02/22/7-virtual-hosting-using-apache-2 [09:23] henkjan: thanks [09:25] uhm.. well, not much I didn't know [09:25] well. whats your question then? [09:26] I want to have different users on the system that have each their webspace to which they can upload with sftp [09:27] if possible without having to add a config file for each user [09:27] (ssh access might also be needed so if it explains how to limit their access to their home directory (and those of their scripts) even better) [09:28] sftp chroot is not easy atm [09:28] the scp-only package might be an option [09:29] ok, will look at it [09:29] * RainCT_school has to go [09:29] cya, thanks for your help :) [09:29] the OpenSSH project recently announced support for chroots in ssh, but i don't know if thats released alreayd [09:50] moin [10:07] <_ruben> hmm .. seems misdn support isnt avail on gutsy (and others) .. guess co-worker will have to roll a custom kernel and hope it'll work [10:10] how to change user in ssh? example logged as root you will login as another user [10:38] rhineheart_m: to open a session with another user: use ssh user@serveraddress, to change user within a session, just use the su command [12:32] hi, I need help in raid via software [12:37] [12:37] Someone help me? [12:37] just ask [12:39] !ask [12:39] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [12:41] [12:41] Sorry, then I am taking issue with raid1 on a server, it is with two hds satas of 160 gb .. In the installation are all running, the problem is that when I try to boot the server only with a hd he not start [12:44] sorry for my ignorance, it is the first time that seeking help for irc. And also by the spelling errors that have in my sentences, because I do not have much knowledge in english, I am brazilian. [12:49] no need to apologize for your english, we have many people here who are not native english speakers [12:49] like the british folks [12:49] * faulkes- runs [12:49] ok. ;) [12:50] <[miles]> :D [12:50] * [miles] is English , living in Spain [12:50] is this software raid or hardware raid? [12:50] software raid [12:50] <[miles]> Jorel, sí hablas Español... posiblemente puedo ayudar te [12:50] Jorel: did you remove the first harddisk? [12:51] [12:51] He usually starts with the two connected hds [12:51] Jorel: afaik the installer only writes grub, the bootloader to the first harddisk [12:52] The grub is already installed in the two hds, I had to install the grub in the slave manually, but worked .. [12:53] okay [12:54] the problem is to find after the grub, he tries to lift the systems as not think the two hds for him, after three minutes he enter into busybox, I see and I see it not mount a raid. [12:55] i am using the Ubuntu server 7.10 gustsy [12:55] it used mdadm to mount the raid via software [12:58] is there anything useful reported in /var/log/kern.log or /var/log/syslog [12:58] if so, you might want to paste it to [12:58] !pastebin [12:58] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lines texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [13:01] you might also want to include your /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:03] wait one minute ... [13:13] i am doing the process again, the log was too big and not found the exact place of massages boot it. [13:17] no problem [13:17] hi all [13:17] just look look for messages which related to the disks and raid devices [13:17] hi mruiz [13:18] hey faulkes- [13:20] what's the location of ImageMagick? [13:28] then, the hand sem kopiral the messages he sends pro monitor when you start only with a hd, and more in low and performed the command "cat /proc/mdadm" [13:28] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57574/ [13:29] one moment [13:29] ok [13:30] mount: Cannot read /etc/fstab: No such file or directory [13:30] that would be typically, a very bad(tm) thing [13:31] Not sure how best to help you, I would say boot via a rescue cd and start checking the system configs [13:32] It is because the fstab would dento of /etc/fstab that is the md1, as he not mounted the raid .. [13:32] /etc/fstab (make sure it actually exists) and there also appears to be an isue with modprobe not finding a module or an incorrect setting [13:33] I found another mistake here .. But this was me .. I will have to restore the image of the boot initramfs. ;) [13:41] noticed that when he is unable to start.. It does not generate nothing and no kern.log and not in the syslog [13:42] i will try to raise the system only with a hd again to see if it has another message [13:45] what i was seeing in some forums was that inside /etc/initramfs/scripts or ../hook some script on mdadm.. something with respect to no-degraded and degraded .. and this facility has nothing appropriate .. does have some relationship? [13:50] I can't say for sure, I'm not a raid guy in here, I'm unsure who to point you to for additional help [13:50] again, any log information you can post might give me additional ideas on where to look for information [13:52] it was a problem in the same initramfs, a the process of starting the system with a hd only, and returned another status in /proc/mdadm, but the message remained the same over... [13:52] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57576/ [13:54] what i understand he feels a hd, could even mount a raid, but for some reason he did not mount [13:59] morning mathiaz [13:59] mornin' faulkes- [13:59] heya mathiaz [13:59] hi mruiz [14:03] this is complicated server. =/ [14:05] the problem that I stuck to the Ubuntu server because it is higher than the kernel 2.6.20 ... why do I need kernel of a superior to recognize that the chipset of the motherboard which is a ICH9 [14:05] Other distros not recognize neither the cdrom. :) [14:07] certainly [14:07] for those who just joined, Jorel is having issues with a raid setup [14:07] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57576/ [14:08] it's a bit beyond me at this point, so if anyone can offer additional thoughts, by all means [14:09] thanks faulkes- [14:10] anyone know if Server 7.10 will automount USB flash drives? or the commands for safe mounting/dismounting ? [14:22] is the ubuntu hardy solve my problem .. had seen him speak .. but was not interested ein test it, but as made a week that tou with this server stopped .. any alternative already helps me.. [14:51] And nobody knows what can do to solve my problem? [15:00] [15:00] I am the Jorel which was now little here, I do not know why it did not return to my old nickname === joerlend_ is now known as XiXaQ === dantalizing_ is now known as dantalizing_work === leonel_ is now known as leonel === Jhoe is now known as Jorel [16:39] someone already had a problem to boot the system in raid1 with only one disc? [17:22] What remote administration utilities are recommended for use with Ubuntu Server 7.10? something beyond the command line, as this system will have some non-CLI savvy admins. Primarily this server is used as a RADIUS server, with DialupAdmin to handle that side of things, as well as a MySQL server [17:27] e-box [17:27] i know at least for 8.04 that is recommended [17:27] it run properly in 7.10 ? [17:28] don't know i haven't tried === LupusNox_ is now known as LupusNox [18:23] heh... I was just wondering if anyone has ever added a smily to the comments in a script? [18:23] I just had a strange impulse to [18:24] Is there a guide, or some further information, on getting ubuntu setup as a RADIUS server? I'm looking to use the FreeRadius product, it's lsited in the apt-get modules, but some of the items don't appear to be installing correctly, specifically the dialup-admin helper for freeradius [18:24] do eet! [18:24] you know someone's going to be looking at those commends [18:26] LupusNox: heh will do... not sure about the FreeRadius question though [18:27] this is my first time in a long while trying to set up a Linux server for anything complex [18:27] trying to swing back into the Linux camp, give the clients that want to avoid MS licensing an option [18:38] to whom I was accompanying, also not satisfied with the installation of ubuntu 8.04 hardy =( [18:40] did it kill your dog? call you a bad name? ;) [18:54] LupusNox, it is with me? [18:55] Were you trying the new new version 8? or 7.04 [18:55] yes, new version [18:55] hardy [18:56] you come to follow my problem? [18:56] I don't know much about the new version releasing in April [18:56] still fighting with 7.10 myself [18:57] ;) [18:58] see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57576/ [18:59] i am taking issue with raid1, at the time that simulate the failure of a disk he does not boot the system ...

[20:34] Hi there! [20:34] henkjan, no idea you might to check with the ebox developers I dont acutally use it myself [20:35] zul: ah, today i installed ebox on my workstation, after configuring network with ebox i lost my ipv6 addres [20:36] henkjan, the one from the archive or my ppa? [20:37] ebox: Installed: 0.11-0ubuntu1~ppa1 [20:37] henkjan: can you talk to the ebox developers on #ebox? [20:38] henkjan: Are you sure you didn't just lose it for a while [20:38] Because of networking restart and waiting for another advertisement? [20:39] Jeeves_: i'm not sure. How fast is ipv6 autoconf? [20:39] Depends how it's configured :) [20:39] en afaik the linklocal adres also disappeared [20:39] Hmm, that's strange [20:47] * Jeeves_ is testing LTS-Upgrade ... [21:00] * nijaba waves [21:01] * Jeeves_ waves back, not knowing who he's waving at === oly is now known as oly- [21:56] Hmm [21:56] That upgrade pretty much broke stuff :) [22:01] I didn't want to butt in on the meeting, but on the issue of forum questions being directed to non-official documentation, perhaps it may be possible to use faulkes' forum stats tool regex to provide 'related official documentation' type links? [22:02] nealmcb suggested the very same thing [22:02] * Jeeves_ asks a newby question... Where's the forum [22:02] I am investigating it [22:02] http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=7 [22:02] ah, cool. [22:03] What were those 'hosting issues' mentioned in the meeting? [22:08] because it is an ubuntu based survey, we would like it hosted by the ubuntu.com domain [22:08] rather than something external [22:08] if it was merely a case of a web host, I have several with sufficient bandwidth we could use [22:09] faulkes-: me too... I proposed that and it is part of the discussion [22:09] but we'll have it fixed soon :) [22:09] * faulkes- nods [22:10] I leave it in your capable hands o'god of teaching me bzr ;) [22:10] damn you for forcing me to think ;) [22:11] for those not in the meeting [22:11] http://ubuntu.oss-mgmt.com/ are the stats I'm working on [22:11] faulkes-: I saw them, quite nice [22:12] it's not purtified yet with all that css jazz and what not, but all suggestions and comments are welcome [22:12] especially on classifications, terms, display issues [22:14] btw, it is running on a constant basis, so those aren't static stats, they update currently every 5 min [22:14] looks fine here in opera 9.26 [22:16] Q: I just used do-release-upgrade -d to upgrade from dapper to hardy (for testing). When configuring Grub, I could not ask for a diff of menu.lst. Should I file a bug for Grub, of update-manager-core ? [22:16] well, one likely change will be addition of top links, so you don't have to scroll all the way through to find a particular section [22:20] Anyone? [22:21] I'm not sure, perhaps try #ubuntu-devel? [22:21] beyond me [22:21] * faulkes- is still a newbie [22:21] ack [22:22] well, in the sense of ubuntu process familiarity [22:22] hmmm, I need food [22:24] yeah, breakfast is a plan [22:24] Ehm [22:24] Right [22:24] Well, i'm going to bed! [22:24] See ya [22:25] lol, cya [22:32] hey [22:34] hey [22:35] whats up [22:36] not much, just working.. and lurking [22:36] how about yourself? [22:36] trying to figure out my scsi raid [22:37] what's up with it? [22:37] well i have a compaq proliant array RA4000 [22:37] fiber to my server [22:38] mmm... [22:38] im trying to figure out how to et ubunto to detect it [22:38] im a noob [22:38] when it comes to ubuntu server [22:39] I haven't done a whole lot of fibre with ubuntu. [22:39] How far along do you get before it fails/you get stuck? [22:39] what adaper? [22:39] adapter [22:39] well, thats the part, i just got it yesterday [22:39] i think i need adapter drivers [22:39] 1 sec, ill get the adapter out [22:44] hmmm [22:44] its a [22:44] FRU 06p3709 [22:45] i looked it up on google, and it says in an ethernet adapter [22:45] fiber [22:46] any vendor name on it? [22:46] it's an IBM [22:46] the RA4000 is FCAL though [22:46] u know what [22:46] i have another fiber card right next to me [22:46] came with the array [22:46] by compaq [22:47] 005106-002 [22:47] can u guys please explain to me like what fcal and all that means [22:47] best way to learn is by asking :) [22:48] FCAL - Fiber Channel/Arbitrated Loop [22:48] it's a fibre specific network protocol [22:48] ah yes [22:48] thanks [22:49] ill go test this other card out [22:49] kk.. [22:54] rezman7: You might also want to have a look at this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpqfc [22:55] http://tinyurl.com/289p8j is the ibm page on that adapter, or at least listing the FRU [22:57] iirc I saw something about the driver being depricated and to look at linux bonding [22:57] however [22:58] I'm not sure about the driver, it was mentioned on a page that google found for me and looked promising [22:58] I believe that the ibm adapter is ethernet over fiber whereas the compaq card is fibre-channel [22:59] * faulkes- nods [23:01] although not ubuntu specific (or supported that I know of) there is http://www.open-fcoe.org/ [23:01] a fibre channel over ethernet project for linux [23:02] all depends on what connections he needs I guess [23:02] on rezman's specific issue, here's a page of specs for his array box: http://din-tech.e717.net/product/ra4000.htm [23:02] He'll need the compaq adapter by the look of it [23:03] SCSI internal, FC-AL external [23:03] * faulkes- nods [23:03] I've only ever used those boxes with enterprise boxes & os's, not with ubuntu [23:04] left the co before I got around to playing [23:04] we used to do FC to dell boxes running linux at a previous company [23:05] never got around to dealing with the DLx series stuff we had though [23:05] but that was a long long time ago, in a company far far away [23:06] hah, know the feeling [23:06] * nijaba need to run, see you later [23:06] nijaba: cya === c_schmitz is now known as c_schmitz|away [23:30] Hi, I am installing ubuntu over a nework. I have setup a preseed file that only indicates to grab files from my internal server... however the installer refuses to do so... it goes out on the internet anyhow and gets the install files.. this is slow... what is wrong?! [23:32] d-i apt-setup/hostname string http://10.0.0.200/ [23:32] that is not wrong is it? [23:33] what files? [23:33] it goes to us.ubuntu whatever anyhow... [23:33] all the setup files [23:33] the udeb and *.deb [23:33] I am booting without issue from PXE [23:34] and it correctly grabs my preseed file from my web server [23:35] Does someone have a working example of a preeseed file for internal data center use? [23:50] does anyone knnow about ubuntu and unattended deployment using preeseed files on this list?
