prey_aloneRubyGems runs really slowly on my Ubuntu server. I've done gem update --system, but it still takes some thirty minutes to get SQLite or even JSON.00:09
flyingparchmenti'm having problems install 7.10 on a sparc enterprise T5120 - it's hung twice during package installation.  is this a known issue?00:47
Deepsurr01:06
Deepsi dont think sparc is supported, only x86 and 64bit amd/intel01:06
flyingparchmentif it wasn't supported i think the installation would stop a little bit earlier than that ;)01:07
flyingparchmentit's not supported in 8.04, but 7.10 is01:07
Deepstrue01:08
flyingparchmenthmm.. maybe this time it didn't hang, it just took an hour to get past whatever it was doing01:23
Deepsalt+f401:24
Deepsswitches you to the logging vt01:24

Deepsoh, heh01:25
flyingparchmentthe system doesn't even have a graphics card ;)01:25
=== RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx
flyingparchmentheh, managed to install it, now i get segfaults while compiling php.  guess the T2 isn't quite supported yet ;)03:02
cody-somervilleWoot. :)03:19
cody-somervilleI got work to use Ubuntu on its two new servers. <g>03:19
cyris|Hey everyone.  I've just finished installing cups. I've added a printer and now want to push drivers to windows clients. i'm running the command cupsaddsmb -a but it seems to just hang after I enter my root password, any ideas?03:23
cyris|The server is a p3 900mhz03:24
cyris|running 8.0403:24
cody-somervillecyris|, I've never set that up before but I found a pretty comprehensive tutorial: http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netsysm/article.php/362187603:30
cyris|cody-someville thanks I will take a look.03:40
cody-somervilleWhere is the survey described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Survey/Launch ?03:48
* nealmcb hopes atomicsparc doesn't run into avahi problems with his own .local domain....05:14
osmosiswhat time would /etc/logrotate.d/apache2  run?06:22
hadsosmosis: It's run from /etc/cron.daily/ which is defined in /etc/crontab as 25 6    * * *06:49
hads(it being logrotate)06:49
hadsIn case you arent familiar with cron, that means 0625 every day.06:50
hadsWhat's the way to keep guests clocks in sync with KVM?06:54
hadss/the way/the recommended way/06:54
osmosishads:   can you tell me what this means?06:55
osmosis0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * www-data [ -x /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -a -f /etc/awstats/awstats.conf -a -r /var/log/apache/access.log ] && /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=awstats -update >/dev/null06:55
osmosisI dont understand what the whole part in brackets is for.06:56
hadsosmosis: [ is an alias for the test command (a builting in bash or executable in sh). You can get information about builtin commands by using help, e.g. help [ or help test06:58
hadsBasically it's doing a bunch of tests before it runs the script (after the &&). Making sure files exist and are executable etc.06:59
osmosishads: I had to remove that block because it was stopping it from working.07:00
hadsI assume one of the tests was failing then. They're probably there for a reason :)07:01
osmosishads: good point07:04
osmosishads: it was just bugging me that it wasnt working, but now that I know it works, maybe ill reinvestigate07:05
osmosishads: one of the issues im having right now is if the first cron process doesnt finish within 10 min, it launches another and they start overlaping.07:05
hadsosmosis: I don't know that much about awstats really.07:16
sten_Hi.  anyone here?07:55
LMJquestion around fetchmail/procmail : fetchmail pick up my emails from a remote pop3 server but delivery them on /var/mail/~ instead of the rule i've put in /etc/procmailrc to put them in ~/mail/INBOX  do you know where could be the issue ?08:57
_rubenLMJ: apparently fetchmail is doing the local delivery itself, and not using procmail to do so, its probably a configuration setting somewhere (in fetchmail)09:12
LMJhum, let me see _ruben , thanks09:13
Kamping_Kaiser\o/ got anonftparchive syncing09:13
LMJstrance _ruben, I can't see any fetchmail information to configure it on that way09:25
_rubenhttp://www.ilkertemir.com/document/fetchmail-procmail.html .. first link on google for "fetchmail procmail"09:26
_rubenthe "mda" option seems to be what you're looking for09:27
Kamping_Kaiseris packages.u.c running like treakle for anyone else?09:29
nrpilhello people, i'm trying to install ubuntu server edition but the installer cannot find the package efi-modules11:18
nrpili've looked on the cdrom and it's indeed not there, it's not even an ubuntu package, it is however a debian package11:18
nrpilcould someone help me ?11:21
Deeps!info efi-modules11:23
ubottuPackage efi-modules does not exist in hardy11:23
Deepssounds like it could be a bug assuming you're attempting to install a hardy server11:23
Deepshave you looked on launchpad to see if there are any other reports of thi?11:24
nrpilDeeps: yes i did, one moment11:25
nrpilDeeps: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/14420711:26
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 144207 in debian-installer "gusty installation failed with "Hash Sum mismatch"" [Undecided,Invalid]11:26
nrpilDeeps: same error so i can conferm it's still valid11:26
nrpilconfirm11:26
Deepssame error? "DEBUG: resoluver (efi-modules): package doesn't exist (ignored)" ?11:27
Deepsthat's not actually the error being reported btw11:27
Deepsand infact, that's not a show-stopping error11:28
Deeps"Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016.1)/pool/main/x/auth/xauth_1.0.2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb Hash Sum mismatch" is the error being reported here, and chances are that's due to a defect on the CD11:28
Deeps(the physical media)11:28
nrpilDeeps: i've tested the cdrom11:28
Deepsyou need to find your actual error11:28
nrpilDeeps: and it is a showstopper, since i cannot continue11:28
Deepsas that efi-modules line, if it's as mentioned in the bug report you've listed, is not an error11:29
Deepsbut rather some debug output (notice the "ignored" at the end of the line)11:29
Deepslook higher up for what's stopping you11:29
nrpilok, one moment11:29
nrpili also see a bad md5sum but i tested the cd ?11:31
Deepsit's all about context, if the md5sum error results in more significant failures, then i'd recommend reburning11:32
Deepscompare the md5 of the iso with that listed on the download page11:32
Deepsbefore reburning11:32
nrpilDeeps: ok, i'll download it again, md5sum it and burn it, seems like the cd test isn't doing what i expected11:34
nrpilDeeps: thanks !11:49

digitalspaghettiHey folks, I'm trying to upgrade my remote server to 8.04, but at the moment I keep getting this issue:  http://dpaste.com/48175/11:59
digitalspaghettii've run aptitude clean and i also ran  dpkg --configure -a12:00
ogradid you use th eupdate-manager as recommended ?12:00
digitalspaghettiorga, i used do-release-update, as it's a CLI server, no X on it12:00
ograapt and aptitude wont do the right thing here, its expected that you have to install stuff manually alongside and work aournd probs12:00
ograright12:00
ograthats the cli variant12:01
ogra(still update-manager though :) )12:01
digitalspaghettii did try that first, but when i broke, i tried to use aptitude full-upgrade12:01
digitalspaghettiwhen i do update manager, i get a different, but similar error:12:02
ogradid you update to the patest packages before starting (from gutsy-updates) ?12:02
ogra*latest12:02
digitalspaghettihttp://dpaste.com/48176/12:02
digitalspaghettiyes12:02
ograhmm, that looks like the volid package was corrupted during download or so12:02
digitalspaghettii've cleared out the package cache12:03
ogra(the locale warnings are ok)12:03
ograwell, the package cache only hodls the debs12:03
ogra*holds12:03
digitalspaghettialso, i had issues yesterday because my server is only 256mb, and i kept getting a seg fault when running it12:03
digitalspaghettii had my server upgraded to 1gb today to run the upgrade12:04
ograwhat you look for is the .list file for volumeid in /var/lib/dpkg/info/12:04
digitalspaghettiok12:04
ograhmm12:04
cody-somervilleIf there is a website that has register globals enabled and there is a page that checks to see if "sql" is set in $_GET and if so doesn't set $sql but later executes $sql, what is the quantified risk acknowledging that there are no form inputs that pass sql via GET to this page?12:05
ograbut such a package doesnt even exist12:05
digitalspaghettiyou want me to remove it?12:05
ograi wonder where it comes from first place12:05
ograapt-cache madison volumeid12:06
ograwhat does that give you ?12:06
digitalspaghettinothing12:07
ograweird12:09
ogrado you get it as well if you try to remove evms-ncurses manually ?12:10
digitalspaghettiyes :/12:11
ogragrep volumeid /var/lib/dpkg/info/evms-ncurses.list12:12
ogra?12:12
digitalspaghettinope, nothing - the file just contains some paths, thats it12:12
ogradpkg -l evms-ncurses ?12:14
ogragrab the package with the right version  from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/evms/ and manually install it with dpkg -i, then try again12:14
digitalspaghettihttp://dpaste.com/48177/12:14
ogracould it be that you ran out of diskspace or so during the upgrade ? that would explain the corruption12:15
digitalspaghettino, got unlimited diskspace12:16
digitalspaghettii downloaded the .deb for my system, still getting the error12:16
digitalspaghettihttp://dpaste.com/48178/12:17
ograthe thing is that there is never been a package like "volumeid" ever in ubuntu, i dont understand why it looks for it12:18
ogrado you have any non ubuntu entries in your sources.list ?12:19
digitalspaghettii'll check12:30
digitalspaghettinope, just standard hh updates12:30
ograhmm, could be realted to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager-core/+bug/21757412:34
digitalspaghettii just pointed my sources back to gutsy, and tried aptitude update && aptitude upgrade, and now i get the same error with a different package :/12:34
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 217574 in update-manager-core "Could not calculate the upgrade" [Undecided,New]12:34
digitalspaghettiremoving /var/lib/dpgk/info seemed to do it12:50

AlexC_hey all15:00
Kamping_Kaiseryes. .. crontab15:01
AlexC_if I get something like this in my logs: 'su[28535]: Successful su for tangocms by root' that means that 'root' switched user to 'tangocms' correct?15:02
Kamping_Kaiserand perhaps /etc/rc.local15:02
mralphabetAlexC_: yes15:06
AlexC_mralphabet, thanks15:07
ctx144kKamping_Kaiser, thx15:28

AlexC_how can I get the disk-space usage via CLI?16:14
Nafallodf -h16:23
AlexC_thanks,16:24
osmosishow do I get the uuid for a disk, for the fstab ?19:14
blue-frog vol_id /dev/sda119:18
AlexC_guys, I've got a really weird problem with 'tar'. I am running this as root:  # tar -xzf php-5.2.6.tar.gz  and I am getting an error similar to this for every single file in the archive:  tar: php-5.2.6/CREDITS: Cannot change ownership to uid 1002, gid 1002: Disk quota exceeded19:40
AlexC_why on earth is it trying to change the ownership to 1002?19:40
hattrickwhy is your disk quota exceeded?19:41
hattrickguys...is munin not working out of the box on ubuntu 8.04?19:41
AlexC_hattrick, no, it is no where near. I am using 2.1gb out of 30gb19:41
hattrickusermod -u 100219:42
hattrickusermod: user 1002 does not exist19:42
AlexC_...19:43
hattrickanyone using munin?19:43
blue-frogAlexC_: what is   quota    saying?19:48
AlexC_blue-frog, Disk quotas for user root (uid 0): none19:49
AlexC_blue-frog, this is on a VPS, I have contacted them and they are looking into the issue. I just thought I'd ask here to see if I can help solve it19:49
DeepsAlexC_: any quotas for uid 1002 and/or gid 1002?20:10
AlexC_ /dev/simfs   51200*  51200   51200            5619       0       020:10
Deepsthat'll be the problem then20:11
Kamping_Kaiseranyone here used anonftpsync? i was wondering if you'd customised it to only mirror selected releases20:11
fromportkamping_kaiser: i'm using anonsync. But it's all in the script itself, isn't it ? I'm basically mirroring only i386/amd64.20:15
Kamping_Kaiserfromport, my problem is i only want to mirror dapper+hardy, but it seems i can only filter out arches, not releases20:16
* Kamping_Kaiser is trying to think of the best way to hack around it20:16
Kamping_Kaiseri think i have one, but it'll be ugly :)20:17
Kamping_Kaiserfromport, i assume your mirroring all releases?20:18
AlexC_hey,20:20
AlexC_Deeps, sorry, lightning took out my router. Did you get my message?20:20
Deepsnope20:20
AlexC_Deeps, I said that is only half the problem - why is it trying to change ownership to 1002?20:21
Deepsthat'll be defined within the tar file20:21
Deepsand being root, it's able to do that20:21
AlexC_wait, what? The tar file can specify what ownerships the files should have, if it can do?20:22
Deepsi believe so20:22
AlexC_O_o20:23
Deepsthere'll be a flag (archive i guess) to preserve ownership and permission settings20:23
AlexC_ah20:23
AlexC_ok, that makes sense - going to work with that now20:27
fromportkamping_kaiser: yes all releases: 125G    /archive/pub/mirror/ubuntu/20:28
Kamping_Kaiserfromport, ok. thanks for that :)20:29
AlexC_Deeps, thank you so much, this was the cause. Applying the --no-same-owner flag worked great on the tar command20:37
Deeps:)20:37
_rubenKamping_Kaiser: dunno about anonftpsync, but debmirror can filter on arch/release/pool/etc20:49
Kamping_Kaiser_ruben, thats what i've used so far, but i need all the extra dirs like /tools/ /doc/ etc for cd building20:50
_rubenah20:50
Kamping_Kaiserso i'm going to try and leetly haxor (read: ugly hack) anonftpsync so it only downloads the releases i want20:51
_ruben;)20:53
Kamping_Kaiser;)20:57
AlexC_where would be the best place to put PHP 5.2.6 in? /usr/local/php-cgi and /usr/local/php-cli ?21:21
