[01:03] <googlah|1leepy> can't wait for hairy heron
[01:06] <mralphabet> hairy?
[01:09] <scapegoat> stupid question - where can you specify what daemons start on boot?  fresh install of 6.06 LTS there isn't an rc.conf
[01:09] <scapegoat> and modules.
[01:31] <Kamping_Kaiser> scapegoat, yes you can.
[01:32] <Kamping_Kaiser> update-rc.d, and theres another tool (sysvconf?) which i forget the exact name of
[01:32] <ctgPi> I've just installed X on my server, and I'm playing around with X tunneling via ssh
[01:32] <ctgPi> gedit, gnome-terminal, run just as expected
[01:33] <ctgPi> But if I try to invoke Firefox through the tunnel, the LOCAL firefox opens instead
[01:33] <Kamping_Kaiser> ctgPi, which probably makes it an #ubuntu question
[01:37] <scapegoat> thx Kamping, i'l take a peek.
[01:43] <ctgPi> Kamping_Kaiser: OK, thanks
[05:42] <Gnea> I am running exim 4.67-5build1 (heavy), using my ISP as a smarthost. I have my own domain and can send emails just fine, but receiving them is impossible - it provides error 550 relaying not permitted, even though I have set the domain and the local ip addresses (along with my internet ip) as being accepted in the configuration file... i'm looking at exim.org and the ubuntu forums and everything that's up there doesn't work after
[05:42] <Gnea> and it's 7.10
[05:43] <kgoetz> Gnea: checked your logs?
[05:44] <mitesh__> hi mitesh
[05:44] <Gnea> kgoetz: the 550 echos there as well
[05:46] <Gnea> echoes? heh
[05:46] <fromport> any particular reason my you use exim ? _i_ find postfix much easier to configure/maintain
[05:47] <kgoetz> heh. _I_ find postfix absolutely horrible and unusable :)
[05:47] <Gnea> oh i'm considering switching over to postfix.. been using exim for years, but this is just unexcusable :)
[05:48] <fromport> there are many howto's on the web for both exim/postfix. google is your friend ;-)
[05:55] <Gnea> been there, done that.
[05:55] <Gnea> obviously, since i'm here asking now. :)
[06:55] <fromport> gnea: lazy ? ;-)
[07:06] <Gnea> fromport: do you enjoy getting your rocks off by attempting to insult people you don't know?
[07:39] <fromport> so you feel insulted ? that's really _your_ problem
[07:40] <fromport> i see a lot of people trying to help you.... that might also be a hint
[08:08] <themime> i had ispconfig installed, realized i didn't really need it (i basically wanted to play around with it) and ran the uninstall; i wonder if it messed with it and didn't change it back. theres some vhost stuff left over from it, is there a process that i can go through to _actually_ uninstall it
[08:21] <fromport> no , not really (afaik). probably have to check everything by hand.
[13:07] <kraut> moin
[13:09] <faulkes-> something like that, yes
[13:09] <kgoetz> ello
[13:09] <kgoetz> almost morning, but not quite :D
[13:15] <faulkes-> oh, it's morning here, I just don't agree with the concept of "morning"
[13:15] <faulkes-> it has all sorts of negative connotations
[13:16] <kgoetz> Sun Mar 23 23:46:11 CST 2008
[13:16] <faulkes-> like "waking up" and bars not being able to serve alcohol
[13:16] <kgoetz> not morning yet!
[19:21] <slide> What is getty? Im trying to remove any un needed programs on my server and i have this running "/sbin/getty 38400 tty1"
[19:32] <olie> Hi, I have a small ubuntu 7.10 server with apache2 SSL, Trac and svn installed. I have two projects going on and some of the people in the first project is in the second project but not all and vice versa. Im using mod_auth as authentication right now and i have two password files, this is a bit of a hassle since if someone wants to change their password in the worst case i have to change the password in two files (not so hard with only two files but i
[19:33] <olie> for instance allowing users from a specific group into one directory
[20:23] <Wooksta> is there a way of installing & configuring vmware server on ubuntu server without having to install X?  Basically i want to run my ubuntu server (7.10) box as a vmware server and then have remote users connect to it using the vmware console
[21:32] <aetaric> ok im probably sol on this...in typing something wrong, i just ran rm -r /etc
[21:33] <aetaric> is there a way to recover /etc
[21:40] <takedown> aetaric: nope, only reinstalling all packages with default configs
[21:40] <takedown> aetaric: if you dont have backup ofcourse
[21:41] <takedown> aetaric: make alias rm="rm -i" for future
[21:53] <aetaric> ok i will do that right after i reinstall
[21:54] <aetaric> got a recomended backup package?
[21:56] <takedown> aetaric: i you have one system you can just tar /etc/ and burn it to cd or upload it to remote system
[21:56] <takedown> s/i/if
[21:57] <aetaric> i have a server that has an attached LUN with 1 TB of space
[21:57] <takedown> aetaric: do you want backup all stuff?
[21:58] <takedown> or only conf files?
[21:58] <aetaric> i want everything backed up
[21:59] <aetaric> if i can get it i would like it done like 2k3 does with volume shadow copy
[21:59] <takedown> aetaric: then try bacula, its enterprise ready backup system with a lot of features
[22:00] <aetaric> alright i'll give it a try. do you know when it first became avalible to ubuntu? im starting reinstallation with 6.06
[22:01] <takedown> aetaric: It's in repository already
[22:02] <aetaric> alright i'll add it to my build scripts
[22:50] <[mbm]> anyone have any luck with xen+hardy yet?
[23:01] <aetaric> mbm, if i am correct xen+hardy is still having networking issues
[23:03] <aetaric> the guys in #ubuntu-xen can let you know more about the issue. im keeping my system back at gutsy till those problems are resolved
[23:13] <J_5> how do i mount to the floppy drive?
[23:13] <[mbm]> aetaric: yeah, that's what I keep running into
[23:13] <MAXIMVS> Hello! Need some help migrating from Windows server to Ubuntu... Exchange issues. Please IM me.
[23:21] <aetaric> MAXIMVS: did you get help?
[23:21] <aetaric> j_5: the command is sudo mount /dev/fd0 /<mountpoint>
[23:23] <J_5> i get /dev/fd0/ is not a vaild block device? does that mean its not installed?
[23:25] <aetaric> run ls | grep fd
[23:25] <aetaric> in dev
[23:27] <J_5> fd and fd0 are listed
[23:28] <aetaric> and running mount /dev/fd0 /mountpoint returns not a valid block device
[23:29] <aetaric> is it a usb drive or a ide drive
[23:30] <J_5> duh!! i mis typed something! it works
[23:30] <J_5> thanks!
[23:31] <aetaric> np
[23:31] <J_5> is there a command to view what is on the floppy?
[23:35] <aetaric> ls /mountpoint
[23:37] <aetaric> or you can use dir mountpoint
[23:38] <aetaric> or if you prefer, you can browse it in the GUI
[23:41] <J_5> no GUI :( .
[23:42] <aetaric> no GUI
[23:42] <aetaric> its all good i use it rarely myself
[23:42] <J_5> im told the way to start learning is by doing this in the commad line, is that true?
[23:43] <aetaric> its the way you will learn it fastest. linux inherantly need the cli
[23:43] <aetaric> linux came from unix and unix only has cli
[23:44] <aetaric> well idk if they have gui now so don't hold me to that, but cli is almost always required for linux.
[23:44] <aetaric> just remember there are 15 ways to do anything in the cli
[23:45] <J_5> ha  i know! but that is what i like about it too. more ways to do things
[23:45] <aetaric> if you know dos commands then you know som linux commands...minus the whole drive letter thing
[23:46] <aetaric> you will pick up the simple things really fast...stuff like don't delete your /etc folder
[23:48] <J_5> ha, yes. i did that when i first install ubuntu..that was no fun
[23:48] <J_5> installed*
[23:50] <aetaric> i have been on linux since before ubuntu...in redhat we didn't have sudo or fakeroot we were just root so the command rm -r /etc /dellomsa insted of rm -r /etc/dellomsa became a problem
[23:50] <aetaric> and just 2 hours ago i removed etc on my server
