flybackubuntu might not be the best for that00:50
hotmonkeyluvis 9GB enough to install Ubuntu server?00:51
hotmonkeyluvI plan on adding about 6gigs worth of programs and random junk to it.00:51
hotmonkeyluvso, 3 gigs esentially00:52
hotmonkeyluvprobobly not enough...00:52
ograyou should be fine with less than 2G for the install00:52
ograan ubuntu desktop install is usually a lot bigger and takes about 3.5G00:52
bitmousewell my question is xfe + avman or thunar?00:52
hotmonkeyluvogra: thanks00:53
hadsbitmouse: Server or desktop?00:53
ograso i guess assuming 2G (even i suspect thats till way to high) is a good bet00:53
hotmonkeyluvogra: does that inclued lots of programming languages, database thingies, etc?00:54
bitmousedesktop, hads00:54
hadsbitmouse: You're in the wrong channel then, a server install will fly into 2GB, for desktop stuff you'll want #ubuntu or something.00:55
ograhotmonkeyluv, no, but a commandline install is done in less than 800M so adding some server processes wont really extend that much00:57
hotmonkeyluvogra: ok, thanks!00:57
hotmonkeyluvogra: what does the "bootable" flag do?00:59
hadsNot a lot :)00:59
hotmonkeyluvas in, nothing, or not much, b/c there is a big difference!01:00

sommerhey owh01:03
owhHi sommer.01:03
* owh has been pulling out hairs of late.01:03
sommerheh, such is life01:03
owhsommer: Just out of interest, what do you see when you visit: http://tracking.landwide.com.au/chris.bray/01:06
sommerwhoa, australia is a whole other continent?01:07
hadsAustralia :)01:07
owhDoes it have a map type selector in the top right?01:07
hadssommer: Australasia is the continent :)01:07
owhAbove the Landwide logo?01:08
sommerowh: yeppers01:08
hadsowh: Yeah01:08
owhWhat about an overview map in the bottom right?01:08
hadsYup01:08
sommeryep, I concur01:08
owhRiddle me this then. If I do that on my Galeon or FF browsers I get a javascript error and don't see either of those. On a Hardy LiveCD I don't either and in FF, I only see a skinny map.01:09
Deepsdelete your profile and start again01:10
sommerowh: weird... I'm using ff3 on hardy01:10
owhDeeps: Well, I started with a new profile, but that made no difference. Lemmie try that again.01:10
Deepsoh, ok01:10
hadsowh: Works here in both Konqueror and FF 3b01:11
owhWell at least it works, I suppose that's something.01:11
owhNow wouldn't it be great if it worked for the developer who made it also :)01:12
owhOn the LiveCD boot, running off a VM, it also doesn't work.01:12
owhI wonder if there is a borked proxy server in between me and the world.01:13
owhDon't suppose there's any bright ideas on how I might detect that?01:13
* owh wanders off to reboot the satellite modem.01:14
sommerowh: I've used the firebug ff2 extension to troubleshoot websites, maybe that'll help track down the issue01:15
sommerowh: you can look at the http communitcations with it01:15
owhWell, at least it's consistent :-(01:18
owhIf I lock an account using passwd -l {username}, can I still connect using ssh and an authorized_key?02:11
sommerowh: I think so... at leat I seem to remember someone recommending moving/removing ssh-keys02:12
sommerowh: I guess it'd be easy to test :)02:12
owhsommer: I'm trying to figure out a way to test it without locking myself out :)02:12
sommerowh: heheh... I'd create a test user02:13
sommerowh: then you can remove/setup without losing your normal account02:13
sommerowh: I'd create the same user on the client and server... just to mirror real life02:14
owhsommer: Yeah, that was where I was heading also. Then I wondered if the test account would barf if I needed sudo on it with a locked password. I'm thinking that given it says:"password changed", that's going to kill it.02:14
sommerowh: I'd imagine... I usually rename the home directories to username.del whenver users leave, which disables the .ssh dir and if they're locked it should be access denied all around02:16
simonpanyone have suggestion for mailman alternatives?02:17
owhsommer: What I was wanting is a machine where I could only login with an ssh key, but if I lock the password, then sudo will likely bork, and I wanted to avoid a password login.02:17
owhsommer: So I'm not removing access for a departed user, if you know what I mean.02:18
sommerowh: oooohhh, I'm with ya.  I think you're right locking the password will kill sudo access02:19
owhI suppose I could change the ssh config to refuse anything but keyed access.02:19
sommerseems like there's a way to do that, pam module maybe?02:19
owhI'll look into it once I've got this weird stylesheet/script/browser/hair pulling thing sorted out :-|02:20
ocyrus_Is it easy to get xwindows onto the ubuntu server?02:21

newz2000hi, I'm having problems installing server, it's refusing to install grub because of some problem with updates (though this is an initial install in a clean kvm)02:59
newz2000here's two screenshots showing the errors: http://people.ubuntu.com/~mnuzum/tmp/server/02:59
newz2000anyone know how to work around this?03:00
sommernewz2000: there was a bug with grub and kvm, I thought it was solved... but a work around is to use lilo03:00
newz2000sommer: ok, thanks03:01
newz2000worked perfectly, though I haven't used lilo in many years. I hope it doesn't need anything special.03:03
sommercool, should be basically the same... you can probably install grub later03:04
newz2000ok, maybe this is the wrong place to ask, but I'm trying to get kvm working to host a test server... but my kvm instances gets an IP address of 10.0.2.15... I'm not sure what IP address I can use to ssh into it03:10
newz2000anyone have any suggestions? (even for where I can get more information)03:10
ScottKIIRC that's not a public address.  Your kvm is NAT'ed on the host.  From the host you may be able to use that IP, it may not be reachable.  Dunno.03:11
newz2000it's not03:12
newz2000is there a way for my kvm machine to get an IP address on the same lan that my wifi card gets one on?03:12
sommernewz2000: I usually bridge the physical interface to allow for ssh.  the serverguide has instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/libvirt.html03:12
newz2000sommer: bridging sounds like what I want... out of curiosity, have you used that with a wifi card? I'm curious if it works as well.03:13
sommernewz2000: heh, I tried once a while back and if I remember right it didn't work as well as planned03:14
sommerI do believe you can bridge a wireless nic though03:14
sommerit'll just be slightly more complicated :)03:14
newz2000I tried with vmware server and had some problem, but its been a while so don't remember what03:14
sommeror it may need a different kernel module03:14
sommerthe other option is to setup a NAT to the vm... that's not covered in the serverguide, but the community wiki has instructions I believe03:15
mrpoundsignAllo allo :)03:17
mrpoundsignI am curious if there is an easy way to get the list of out-dated packages, and the changes in those packages, so that I can better determine which packages I want/need to update?03:18
mrpoundsign(of course, after an apt-get update)03:18
sommerapt-get upgrade -s, will print what the upgrade process will do without actually doing it03:19
mrpoundsignsommer: yes, however, I am looking for the list of changes, like release notes. (as with the desktop version, you can see the changes)03:27
ScottKmrpoundsign: apt-listchanges may be what you want.03:28
mrpoundsignScottK: thanks, I will look into that. :)03:28
mrpoundsignScottK: Do you know, offhand, how to get the list of packages from apt-get upgrade -s into a format readable by apt-listchanges --apt ? :)03:40
ScottKmrpoundsign: No.  Sorry.03:42
mrpoundsignHmm, looks like apticron may be the answer :)03:42
ScottKmrpoundsign: If you're using the official Ubuntu repositories, the answer to which updates you want is virtually certainly all of them.03:42
mrpoundsignScottK: Yeah, I am not that optimistic, yet.03:43
mrpoundsignScottK: Especialy since there can be minor upgrades that cause havoc in a development environment. As innocent as they may seem to the package maintainer.03:43
ScottKmrpoundsign: For released versions of the distro, we are pretty careful.03:44
ScottKmrpoundsign: I think a better bet is to just run a test server and try it and see.03:44
ScottKmrpoundsign: If you ever get a regression you can then report it and hope to get it resolved.03:44
ScottKIt'll probably take less time/effort/money to deal with than deciding on updates one by one.03:45
mrpoundsignScottK: Totally understood. Doesn't mean that an update has not killed me before. I have been doing system administration for almost 15 years now. I have a test server, just want to get notifications when there are updates, and what they are, so I can run them through my own tests. :)03:45
ScottKAfter release it takes a lot more than a package maintainer thinks it's a good idea to get something changed.03:45
ScottKSure.  I do too.  I just always update the test server first.03:46
mrpoundsignScottK: Oh, I agree. I like staying up to date.03:46
ScottKAlso, for non-security updates they go to the -proposed pocket for testing.  You can keep an eye on that and try stuff out.  If you find regressions, then it'll likely never get released (or fixed).03:47
mrpoundsignScottK: Awesome. Also want to know the urgency of updates, such as being notified of security updates, etc, independantly.03:47
mrpoundsignindependently, even03:48
ScottKWhen you run apt-get -s install you can see which updates come from the security pocket.03:57

egoleoanyone help me with install perl modules plse12:52
phil^for most modules there are packages in the form of "lib<modulename>-perl"12:54
phil^like "libwww-perl" or "libxml-parser-perl"12:54
phil^imo you should try to avoid installation via cpan12:55
egoleook12:55
egoleoso i need for  Mail::POP3Client12:55
egoleoor how can i search for this modules in the ubuntu repository12:55
phil^mh a dirty way would be: apt-cache search perl | grep lib | grep mail12:56
phil^most probably you'll need "libmail-pop3client-perl - POP3 client module for perl"12:56

egoleoand given me something something imposible13:44
egoleobut if install with apt-get13:44
egoleodo i need to change my code or something?13:44
phil^the modules should get installed under "/usr/share/perl5/" and you'd just use it via "use NET::FTP" (for example)13:47
mistiipu_i made a pc share my internet connection by cross cable direct nic to nic connection. it worked. i changed the client pc and its lan card but with same cable and same settings. it was not working. i have checked cable and lan card. both are fine. i think there is some settings in the server (linux) that has been saved for that old pc. when i plug the new pc it says a network cable has ben unplugd?13:53

mistiipuiam on a server that shares internet to 2 computers. i want to limit their bandwidth to 20k/s jointly pc1+pc2=20k/s and give them priority to my persoanal internet use on server.  secondly i dont want any of the two pcs suck all the bandwidth (by excesive downloading at a time or by torrents) and drain the others pcs band. (out of 20k/s). "i dont want any 3rd distro or another router. i use linux and want it to route".20:20
mistiipui think i need the tc command? where to read about it. and what else i need? thirdly i want to moniter each pc what he is doing. sniff internet. keep detailed records. (if he does any illegal activity eg.) see gui graphic speed graphs. etc. any app or guidance please?20:20
ivoksntop?20:21
ivoksfor bandwith shapping, right, tc, for fancy graphs - ntop20:22

ivoksor upgrade to newer version of kernel and udev20:31
psufanthis is the 10th freaking time this blade has burned20:31

mathiazGoosemoose: re AD domain - you should try likewise-open - there is a domainjoin-cli command to help join a machine to a domain.20:37
mathiazGoosemoose: you should try to use the preseed file from gutsy and see if they work for hardy - they should work - but some things have changed.20:38
mathiazbrewmaster_: try sar and custom script - if you want more complete coverate, have a look at munin20:39
mathiazgladk: you can upgrade from gutsy to hardy - make sure that your gutsy system is up-to-date before upgrading to hardy.20:39
gladkmathiaz: I need to update all packages?20:40
mathiazgladk: yes - you need to install all the gutsy updates before starting the upgrade to hardy20:42
gladkmathiaz: is it really neccessary to update to hardy if all packages are updated?20:42
mathiazgladk: hardy is a new release - you don't have to update to hardy if you want to stick with gutsy20:43
mathiazgladk: gutsy is still supported for 1 year IIRC20:43
mathiazgladk: so you'll get security updates for gutsy as long as it's supported20:44
mathiazgladk: and you install the updates20:44
gladkmathiaz: ok, thank you for response20:44
gladkmathiaz: will wait a little bit, maybe will upgrade to hardy soon20:45
gladkmathiaz: thanks20:45
zulmathiaz: for the testcase for the dovecot SRU I should be able to run the testscripts to reproduce it correct?20:53
mathiazzul: yes - have a look at the scripts20:54

Goosemoosemathiaz, i was told that likewise-open was built into hardy, isn't that true?20:56
mathiazGoosemoose: likewise-open is available in hardy20:57
Goosemooseok, can i add the join command to the preseen?20:57
Goosemoosepreseed?20:57
mathiazGoosemoose: well - you'd have to specify the AD admininistrator password in the preseed file - so that wouldn't be a good idea20:58
mathiazGoosemoose: I don't know you can script it though.20:59
Goosemoosehmm, i'd setup a separate account that could just join the domain20:59
Goosemoosei dont want to manually do it on 300 machiens20:59

ivoksJ_P: i'll have a production system very soon with plone21:10
mathiazGoosemoose: it should work - domainjoin-cli accepts the username and the password on the command line21:10
Goosemooseok21:11
mathiazGoosemoose: so you should be able to script domain joining using the late_command option in preseed21:11
ivoksJ_P: so, if you have a month of free time, you could wait until i sort everything out21:11

Nafalloseems a bit quiet :-)22:39
* Nafallo waits for activity so his irssi can remember where it went :-)22:39
Goosemooseivoks, im getting told the the archive mirror does not have a valid release file on it. is that because the tftp server is running gutsy?22:47
ivokstftp is a protocol for serving content22:48
Goosemooseyeah i realize. sorry i have an apt-get mirror on the machine22:48
Goosemoosethat the clients use as well22:48
ivokslike apache servs html, tftp serves files22:48
Goosemoosei thought apt-get would just get the new hardy files when the client tried to install hardy22:48
ivoksso, you can have fedora 1 and serve hardy kernel to clients22:48
owhivoks: That would be sacrilegious :)22:49
ivoks:)22:49
Goosemoosehmm22:49
Goosemooseim missing a step, sorry its been 6 months since i set this up for gutsy22:49
Goosemooseits more than just the netboot file that controls the client install then22:49
Goosemoosei installed the hardy netboot.tar.gz22:50
ivoksyou downloaded hardy netboot, right?22:51
Goosemooseyes22:51
Goosemoosemaybe i need to update the apt-cacher22:51
Goosemooseyeah the sources.list is still old, i think thats the issue22:53
Goosemooseok where can i get an updated sources.list file? this one has gutsy all over it22:54
_ZeuZ_Goosemoose, you can edit it yourself, or, I guess you should have a spare copy of the default as a backup, if not take a gutsy one and change the gutsy for hardy22:55
Goosemooseyeah i have the gutsy one, but the top lines have22:55
Goosemoosedeb cdrom:[Edubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 Binary-2 (20071016)]/ gutsy main restricted22:55
Goosemoosewhich i dont know what to change for hardy22:55
Goosemoosealthough thats probably irrelevant on a network install22:56
_ZeuZ_Comment that one if you're not using the CD for the new files22:56
Goosemooseok22:56
jdstrand_ZeuZ_: thought it's cli, you'll want to see ufw for host-based firewalling on Ubuntu. https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html22:56
_ZeuZ_ufw? is that a metapackage?23:00
jdstrand_ZeuZ_: no23:00
_ZeuZ_just a package? :) what does it deal with? iptables + tcng or it has it's own engine?23:01
jdstrand_ZeuZ_: it's just a frontend for iptables-restore/iptables-save23:02
jdstrand_ZeuZ_: it's geared towards host-based firewalls, but is flexible enough for be used as a routing firewall23:02
_ZeuZ_what about bandwidth managment?23:02
jdstrand_ZeuZ_: check out the docs23:02
jdstrand_ZeuZ_: no qos or traffic shaping yet23:02
_ZeuZ_damn... I'm needing it...23:03
_ZeuZ_is the nufw package for debian the same as this one?23:03
jdstrand_ZeuZ_: no23:03
jdstrand_ZeuZ_: ufw is new as of hardy23:03
_ZeuZ_Hmm... sources avaible?23:03
jdstrandapt-get source ufw23:04
_ZeuZ_(I guess they should, bad question..(23:04
_ZeuZ_The problem there is, does it append the rules or delete all and apply the list you create with it?23:04
jdstrand_ZeuZ_: depends on the situation-- it tries to append and only reloads when necessary23:06
_ZeuZ_Gotcha... Well, as for this is a noobish question (i'm ashamed of myself) but, after doing apt-get sources ufw I think it got installed instead of only downloaded the tar.gz, should I have specified the download only there?23:08
jdstrand_ZeuZ_: apt-get source ufw will download the source pacakge and unpack it into ufw-0.16.223:09
_ZeuZ_got it, althought it seems it was installed since it created the /etc/ufw file23:10
_ZeuZ_or it's called something like that xD23:10
jdstrand_ZeuZ_: if you are running hardy it is installed by default, but disabled23:11
jdstrand_ZeuZ_: 'man ufw' and the above link will help you get into it23:11
_ZeuZ_lovely, didn't knew that...23:12
_ZeuZ_would there be any problem to compile it on a debian etch  enviroment?23:12
jdstrand_ZeuZ_: it's python, so shouldn't be a problem23:12
jdstrand_ZeuZ_: I gotta go, but check the docs and have fun!23:14
_ZeuZ_oops...23:21
_ZeuZ_one last quesiton?23:21
_ZeuZ_what about NATing? The tutorial does not show much there...23:22
* flyback eats 4 zyrtec23:35
_ZeuZ_Any tool for QoS in Ubuntu Server?23:42
_ZeuZ_how can I check how much has the cache of SQUID groiwth?23:51
Goosemoosehmm, when doing aptitude update on my apt-cacher server23:55
Goosemooseim getting a few Errors were encountered while processing:23:55
Goosemooseon tftpd-hpa, ltsp-server and ltsp-server-standalone23:55
