fry_hi00:01
fry_i need some help with a raid 1 /boot partition. sorry if i'm rude.00:04
mok0fry_: afaik you can't have /boot on raid00:18
fry_well, it worked perfectly until a kernel reinstall00:20
fry_(a bad one)00:20
mok0fry_: hm, ok00:21
fry_i managed to start the system, by touching the grub.lst in one of the hds00:23
mok0fry_: great00:24
fry_but i didnt touch the other00:24
fry_and now something very odd is hapenning with the touched file00:24
mok0spooky00:25
fry_and i cant restart the system until i make the same process again00:25
fry_(sorry 'bout my speech)00:26
mok0fry_: but why did you put /boot on a raid1?00:26
fry_something to do with a boss00:26
mok0fry_: it doesn't need to be fast00:26
fry_nope, but they wanted it to be redundant00:27
* Nafallo will not say anything about hardware raid at this point.00:28
fry_well, we tolk a lot00:29
fry_and tolk again00:29
Nafallotolk?00:29
mok0fry_: if you meddle with the files on one of the volumes you are asking for trouble00:29
fry_and we never get to anything00:29
mok0talk00:30
fry_well, now i know00:30
Nafalloah. that's what I thought00:30
fry_and -of course- it is a high availability server whith no downtime. ever.00:33
ScottK-udsWhat does accessibility of /boot to do with reliability?  You don't need /boot to run, just to boot.00:36
fry_i'm learning  by the hard way00:36
fry_well, ang got to that point, maybe just the valuable data must be mirrored00:37
ScottK-udsIt's no problem to mirror everything else.  Just not /boot.00:37
fry_perhaps gettig / in a standard partition00:37
fry_i'd appreciate ideas to get this rebooting alone00:40
ScottK-udsIt depends on what you are trying to accomplish.00:40
ScottK-udslamont: From the build failure mail I'm getting it may be everything in hppa failing for that reason now.00:41
KonamI can't access to ebox, in a default installation in hardy00:42
Nafalloyou need to install it.00:42
fry_hppa ?00:43
KonamNafallo Is installed00:43
Konam¬¬00:43
Konamon the server, AFAIK the only place where you have it installed00:43
Konamthe browser can't find the directory00:44
fry_sorry00:44
Konamit may well be the port, but I haven't configured or installed a firewall on my server00:48
ScottK-udsfry_: hppa is the HP PA-RISC architecture.  It's not doing so well in the development release at the moment.  These things happen.00:54
fry_thnx, i did'n want to get in middle00:55
ScottK-udsAFAIK, the ubuntu-server channel is unique in that there's development work and user support on the same channel.00:55
fry_my politeness needs some rusteeze00:55
ScottK-udsfry_: No problem to ask.00:55
fry_i'm thinking about removing the buggy sda1 md partition and making an ext3, but i think i can get into more troubles with mdadm01:03
mr_collinscan anyone help with a compiling question?01:18
ScottK-udsHe wasn't very patient.01:21
fry_no01:22
fry_it sound's that bad?01:33
ScottK-udsI've never done it, so I've got no opinion.01:37
fry_thanx01:38

sten_Hi.  I'm wondering what the easiest to setup mailing list implementation is.  I already have a working postfix + dovecot + squirrelmail06:49
sten_(and I don't need virtual users, or domains)06:50
sten_can it be done with just postfix and procmail?06:55
Kalamansisten_ all americans here.they must be sleeping now06:56
Kalamansihows canada this time sten_?06:56
sten_well, it's just about midnight.  I'm just trying to throw together and quick and dirty mailing list (for a club).  I don't mind if it's completely manual...  Something like adding a user to both an aliases map, and maybe a procmail rule to drop all mail which doesn't come from the manually added list06:59
sten_Kalamansi: it's actually going to be using a real user, and fetchmail to get the mail ;-)  (very "not enterprise", but I know it's possible for it to be reliable enough)06:59
sten_Kalamansi: what country do you live in?07:00
Kalamansiim from philippines and its 2pm here.sunny day damn hot07:01
sten_mm, I can imagine.  Humid too.  I'm living in a very dry and windy part of Canada, so -- so long as one drinks enough water -- the heat isn't bad. (40C is about as hot as it gets)07:03
specialKevinsten_: I would look at mailman07:03
specialKevinsten_: I have always just used mailman when setting up mailing list07:04
Kalamansihi specialKevin07:04
Kalamansii thought yo were in the club07:04
specialKevinKalamansi: what club07:04
specialKevinthe should be a sleep club ;)07:05
sten_specialKevin: I thought that it might be overkill for my small list, but I'll take another look.  Do you know of a good howto?07:05
specialKevinsten_: how many people are on this list07:06
specialKevinyou could just use the alias file07:06
specialKevinlist: addy1, addy2, ...07:06
sten_specialKevin: currently less than a dozen, and certainly never more than 24.07:06
KalamansispecialKevin like going out with friends going to the club, bar hopping, time to relax in the real life and back in internet07:06
Kalamansihehe07:07
specialKevinbut then you have to manage them all your self07:07
specialKevinKalamansi: well that usually doesn't happen on a Tuesday evening07:07
specialKevinand I have been busy working on stuff tonight07:07
KalamansispecialKevin it happens alot here07:07
KalamansispecialKevin stuff like what07:08
specialKevinKalamansi: glad to hear that you think I have a life though thanks ;)07:08
Kalamansicabling?07:08
KalamansispecialKevin server configuration?07:08
specialKevinKalamansi: working of my task for Foresight linux and research radius and splunk07:08
specialKevinsten_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mailman07:09
sten_specialKevin: hmm.  I guess the big thing for me, is that I don't want list members to recieve spam from non-list members through the list...do you think that mailman is easier than maintaining an ever-growing procmail rule?07:09
sten_specialKevin: thanks for the link :-)07:09
specialKevinsten_: most likely yes07:09
specialKevinsten_: I would setup mailman then it will be easier to maintain07:10
specialKevinKalamansi: your questions above about installation were you able to figure it out07:14
sten_specialKevin: I'm going to take your advice.  Here's one caveat though: I'm running this server on a residential cable modem, and the list address is going to be on my ISP's pop3 server.  Can the "list" user have its own /home/list/maildir?07:14
sten_(so that fetchmail has somewhere to deliver to...or do I need to worry about this at all?)07:14
specialKevinsten_: that I am not sure, that would require a little bit of research07:15
sten_specialKevin: ahh.  Maybe this project will take more time than I have tonight...07:15
specialKevinmy philosphy is I would rather spend more time setting up then maintaining07:16
sten_that's a good good philosophy.  I guess, if nothing else, it's work-experience. ;-)07:18
sten_(in my case...  I would say that if one has a formal responsibility to maintain something, than it's more than just a good philosophy.  It's wisdom and saving yourself from future headaches and stress)07:20
sten_well, I should probably put this off until tomorrow, and get some sleep.07:22
sten_specialKevin: thanks for the info!07:22
specialKevinsten_: np07:26
specialKevinsten_: glad to help07:26

cjsstablesMorning all.  Is this the proper room to ask questions about setting up an Ubuntu LTSP server and client?  If it isn't can someone direct me to the proper channel?14:29
anabolixok noob question: what can i do with a server that i cant do with the desktop version of ubuntu?14:31
\shanabolix, on a server you don't need any -desktop stuff...and ubuntu-server only means: a well choosen kernel for real server hardware..which differs from desktop machines...and you don't have any -desktop blow up14:33
phil^anabolix: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/features14:34
\shregarding server....did anybody try to run adobe flashmediaserver on ubuntu these days?14:34
anabolixbut could i fiddle around with the ubuntu server on a desktop computer with no problems?14:34
\shanabolix, yes..if you do know how to administer a linux system from the cli...14:35
cjsstablescan anyone helpme set up Ubuntu 8.04 ltsp server14:35
anabolixwell im learning how to use linux... im prgressing through bash and picking up things here and there about the file system... but im just asking what are the simplest things accomplished with a server cli?14:37
phil^like it says in the topic: "Don't ask to ask, just ask." :)14:37

adam_All of a sudden I can't scp to/from my server. It says: "/usr/bin/scp: No such file or directory" (on the server). Same goes for /usr/bin/ssh and /usr/bin/sshd, though permissions are correct. Can't even do it as root.14:53
adam_In dmesg, I see "[1722872.168983] ssh-scan[31460]: segfault at 0 rip 8048e33 rsp ff962a80 error 414:53

adam_No luck15:00
cyris|morning everyone15:04
adam_Okay, the rootkit scanners found nothing, but there is a directory called "/etc/rpm" which has executables in it ("scp", "sftp", "ssh", "sshd") which are timestamped to 2008-04-06, yet the directory itself has a timestamp of 2008-05-1815:06
ScottK-udsHave you ever used any RPM based install tools?15:07
adam_Google finds nothing.15:07
adam_ScottK-uds: Certainly not this Sunday.15:07
ScottK-udsI'd tend to be quite suspicious then.15:08
ScottK-udsadam_: Do you have physical access to the server?15:08
adam_ScottK-uds: No, but I do have someone on the inside....15:09
ScottK-udsadam_: At this point I'd suggest booting it to a live CD and running your tools from the live CD.15:09
adam_ScottK-uds: Gotcha. Thanks....15:10
ScottK-udsIf you are running a compromised system (I don't know if you are) I'd not be inclined to believe any good news from that system.15:11

adam_Deeps: Hehe, I'm paranoid now :)15:26
ivoksyou can't, but let's check...15:26
adam_On the compromised server: 82eb04fee93c4c08407592891f22341d15:26
ivoksthat's i386? hardy?15:26
adam_yup15:26
adam_On *my* desktop, it's 33830461a75c9cf32f4631b6d6cbbd1615:27
ivoksthat's not md5 of hardy's /bin/mv15:27
ivoksthat one's right15:27
Deepsheh, shutdown time then15:27
adam_There's another server which also has an /etc/rpm/ssh, but it's got the proper md5sum15:27
ivoksyou've been owned15:27
ivoksyou use ssh keys?15:28
adam_yes, but passwords are also enabled15:28
ivoksssh keys with passwords?15:28
ivoksor ssh and passwords15:29
adam_publickey,keyboard-interactive15:29
ivoksps ax | grep ssh15:31
ivoksps is probably compromised, but, well...15:32
ivoksanyway, your only option is to reinstall15:35

mm_202ugh, I know this is off-topic, but how the hell do you negate a group in regex?17:24
sorenNo need to fucking swear.17:26
* mm_202 meekly mutters 'sorry'17:27
sorenWhat exactly do you mean by negating a group?17:29
mm_202soren: (\(paused\))([\s\w:\(]*(Disposition))  I need the second group, to NOT be found. "(\(paused\))([\s\w:\(]*(Disposition)){0}"  should work, but doesnt.17:31
sorenWhy should that work?17:32
mm_202well, because {n} specifies now many times it should be matched.  I want it matched zero times.17:33
sorenAnd it does.17:33
soren"" matches "(stuff){0}"17:33
sorenWhy wouldn't it?17:33
sorenEr..17:33
soren"stuff" matches "(stuff){0}"17:33
mm_202ah.  Hrm, damn lack of sleep.17:34
sorenFor instance, you'll notice that between 'u' and 'f', it doesn't say "stuff". Hence, it matches.17:34
mm_202okay, well how would I get it to make "cat" in "cat and mouse", but not in17:35
mm_202in* "cat and dog" ?17:35
mm_202basically, I just need a way to say that if a certain word is found, to fail the regex.17:35
soren...17:36
sorenEr..17:36
mm_202Yeah, tell me about it.17:36
sorenSeriously?17:36
sorengrep cat | grep -v dog17:36
mm_202LOL17:36
mm_202well this is for mysql / php :)17:36

mm_202Its running on a ubuntu server :D17:37
sorenif (preg_match("/cat and/", $str) and !preg_match("/dog/", $str))17:37
sorenor whatever.17:37
sorenIt's been a while since I did php.17:37
mm_202Know I know that Im being an asshole, but the regex is in a db field, so I have to do it all in one regex 'call'17:38
sorenIf you want php expertise, ask in a php channel. I don't mean to be (very) rude, but surely you're likely to get better responses there.17:38
mm_202Now* I know17:38
SuperLagsoren: haha17:38
SuperLagsoren: you're funny17:38
SuperLag09:26 < soren> No need to fucking swear.17:38
sorenI'm actually very boring.17:38
SuperLagthat part was funny17:38
sorenIt's well-documented.17:38
mm_202soren: k, just thought that you guys would know, or that I would get a faster reply.17:39
sorenThan in a php channel? Why, oh why?17:39
sorenAnd we probably do know.17:39
sorenIt's just not very easy when we have to go through (so far) 3 iterations, before you actually tell us your problem.17:40
mm_202Because its not for php.  Its for mysql. But whats its for doesnt even, since I need to do it in on regex string.17:41
mm_202Anyways, fuck it.17:41
soren1. Figure out what you mean by negating a group, 2. figure out that it's php, 3. figure out that it's not actually php,but mysql.17:41

InsomniaCityfair enough20:06
InsomniaCitya livecd reboot would seem to the best option then20:08
nealmcbadamh: sudo netstat -tlp doesn't tell you the process?20:30
adamhnealmcb: Correct.20:35
adamhIt doesn't show the process for nfs, either, though.20:35
nealmcbadamh: hmm - without sudo I get just "-", but with sudo I get the right processes for all of them20:36
* adamh shrugs20:37
adamhI've tried sudo lsof, also.20:37
adamhThe server at port 58009 behaves identically to nfs (port 2049)20:38

uvirtbotNew bug: #233853 in samba (main) "[intrepid]: nmbd fails to start" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/23385323:15
sorenosmosis: I saw your libvirt munin plugin. I like it.23:24
sorenosmosis: I've made a few changes, and I'll probably include it in an upcoming virt-goodies package or something.23:26
sten_Hi.  I've been using Postfix's sender_canonical to re-write my user-initiated email addresses, but how can I configure mailman to display long.email.blah.blah@myISP.net instead of list@myFQDN.dynalias.net23:31
sten_specifically, I want the listinfo page to display the myISP.net address (which I pull from myISP.net's pop3 server and send to list@localhost)23:33
ScottK-udsI expect you'd have to do the rewrites before you shoved the message into Mailman23:33
ScottK-udsIt's been ages since I've done anything with Mailman, so I don't really know though.23:33
osmosissoren: cool23:34
osmosissoren: i also made an if_all plugin that graphs all the network interfaces on a single graph, works well in conjunction with libvirt.23:34
sten_ScottK-uds: ahh.  I know emails originating from me will be re-written before mailman recieves them, and that I can re-write Mailman's From: adresss...it23:35
sten_it's just that webpage which bugs me..23:35
sten_(and will probably confuse my non-technical group of users...it's just a hack of a list for a university club)23:35
sten_(run from a residential line ;-)23:35
sten_maybe I should just make a note in the "About list" section...23:37
specialKevinsten_: you could just update the actual webpage, but you would have to change it every time you upgrade mailman23:41
sten_specialKevin:  Hmm...  Too much of a hassle.  I think I'll just post a warning like "Any emails sent to foojin@bar.dynalias.net WILL DISAPPEAR INTO THE ETHER OF THE INTERNET. FOREVER. NEVER TO BE SEEN OR HEARD FROM AGAIN. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. "23:43
anabolixwould it be unwise to run a server version of 8.04? do i lose any functionality doing so? and considering im running 8.04 desktop edition on my machine... should i expect the same from the server??????23:49
ScottK-udsI'm not sure what you mean?  Unwise compared to what?23:50
sten_anabolix: 8.04 is the first release since Dapper (what was that 6.04?) to support many tape drives23:50
ScottK-udsDapper was 6.0623:50
sten_oh yeah, it was delayed!23:51
anabolixsten_: i currently have desktop edition installed on my laptop, im happy with the way things are running... but i recently DLed the server edition and have burned it to a disc... and ive been given the option to upgrade once i put the disc in... so the question is... will i loose anything? or will it just add itself onto my system while preserving current environment?23:52
sten_anabolix: I'm not sure.  As far as I know, the difference is mainly the kernel, and a few security things.23:56
ScottK-udsanabolix: If you want to upgrade, you don't need a disk.  Just open a console window and run do-release-upgrade.  There's a gui way to do it too, but I don't know it.23:58
ScottK-udsServer edition doesn't have a desktop environment, but I suspect if you used a server CD to upgrade a desktop system, it would grab the desktop updates online.23:59
