[00:01] hi [00:04] i need some help with a raid 1 /boot partition. sorry if i'm rude. [00:18] fry_: afaik you can't have /boot on raid [00:20] well, it worked perfectly until a kernel reinstall [00:20] (a bad one) [00:21] fry_: hm, ok [00:23] i managed to start the system, by touching the grub.lst in one of the hds [00:24] fry_: great [00:24] but i didnt touch the other [00:24] and now something very odd is hapenning with the touched file [00:25] spooky [00:25] and i cant restart the system until i make the same process again [00:26] (sorry 'bout my speech) [00:26] fry_: but why did you put /boot on a raid1? [00:26] something to do with a boss [00:26] fry_: it doesn't need to be fast [00:27] nope, but they wanted it to be redundant [00:28] * Nafallo will not say anything about hardware raid at this point. [00:29] well, we tolk a lot [00:29] and tolk again [00:29] tolk? [00:29] fry_: if you meddle with the files on one of the volumes you are asking for trouble [00:29] and we never get to anything [00:30] talk [00:30] well, now i know [00:30] ah. that's what I thought [00:33] and -of course- it is a high availability server whith no downtime. ever. [00:36] What does accessibility of /boot to do with reliability? You don't need /boot to run, just to boot. [00:36] i'm learning by the hard way [00:37] well, ang got to that point, maybe just the valuable data must be mirrored [00:37] It's no problem to mirror everything else. Just not /boot. [00:37] perhaps gettig / in a standard partition [00:40] i'd appreciate ideas to get this rebooting alone [00:40] It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. [00:41] lamont: From the build failure mail I'm getting it may be everything in hppa failing for that reason now. [00:42] I can't access to ebox, in a default installation in hardy [00:42] you need to install it. [00:43] hppa ? [00:43] Nafallo Is installed [00:43] ¬¬ [00:43] on the server, AFAIK the only place where you have it installed [00:44] the browser can't find the directory [00:44] sorry [00:48] it may well be the port, but I haven't configured or installed a firewall on my server [00:54] fry_: hppa is the HP PA-RISC architecture. It's not doing so well in the development release at the moment. These things happen. [00:55] thnx, i did'n want to get in middle [00:55] AFAIK, the ubuntu-server channel is unique in that there's development work and user support on the same channel. [00:55] my politeness needs some rusteeze [00:55] fry_: No problem to ask. [01:03] i'm thinking about removing the buggy sda1 md partition and making an ext3, but i think i can get into more troubles with mdadm [01:18] can anyone help with a compiling question? [01:21] He wasn't very patient. [01:22] no [01:33] it sound's that bad? [01:37] I've never done it, so I've got no opinion. [01:38] thanx [02:53] hello all [04:00] I am running open office calc via a ssh session and it keeps "greying out" every about 15 seconds. It does so for about 10 seconds. Why would that be?

[06:20] hello i installed ubuntu 8.04. i dont know what key to press in installing all the packages of the server like lamp,openssh printer etc...so i hit the key X - no luck.. i did cntrl+x - same thing no response from the computer.so what i did is i press "enter" and after that done installing..how to install all the list of packages?is it okay i will reinstall the ubuntu server and press the spacebar so i could install all the packages?thanks [06:49] Hi. I'm wondering what the easiest to setup mailing list implementation is. I already have a working postfix + dovecot + squirrelmail [06:50] (and I don't need virtual users, or domains) [06:55] can it be done with just postfix and procmail? [06:56] sten_ all americans here.they must be sleeping now [06:56] hows canada this time sten_? [06:59] 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 list [06:59] 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) [07:00] Kalamansi: what country do you live in? [07:01] im from philippines and its 2pm here.sunny day damn hot [07:03] 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] sten_: I would look at mailman [07:04] sten_: I have always just used mailman when setting up mailing list [07:04] hi specialKevin [07:04] i thought yo were in the club [07:04] Kalamansi: what club [07:05] the should be a sleep club ;) [07:05] 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? [07:06] sten_: how many people are on this list [07:06] you could just use the alias file [07:06] list: addy1, addy2, ... [07:06] specialKevin: currently less than a dozen, and certainly never more than 24. [07:06] specialKevin like going out with friends going to the club, bar hopping, time to relax in the real life and back in internet [07:07] hehe [07:07] but then you have to manage them all your self [07:07] Kalamansi: well that usually doesn't happen on a Tuesday evening [07:07] and I have been busy working on stuff tonight [07:07] specialKevin it happens alot here [07:08] specialKevin stuff like what [07:08] Kalamansi: glad to hear that you think I have a life though thanks ;) [07:08] cabling? [07:08] specialKevin server configuration? [07:08] Kalamansi: working of my task for Foresight linux and research radius and splunk [07:09] sten_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mailman [07:09] 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] specialKevin: thanks for the link :-) [07:09] sten_: most likely yes [07:10] sten_: I would setup mailman then it will be easier to maintain [07:14] Kalamansi: your questions above about installation were you able to figure it out [07:14] 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] (so that fetchmail has somewhere to deliver to...or do I need to worry about this at all?) [07:15] sten_: that I am not sure, that would require a little bit of research [07:15] specialKevin: ahh. Maybe this project will take more time than I have tonight... [07:16] my philosphy is I would rather spend more time setting up then maintaining [07:18] that's a good good philosophy. I guess, if nothing else, it's work-experience. ;-) [07:20] (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) [07:22] well, I should probably put this off until tomorrow, and get some sleep. [07:22] specialKevin: thanks for the info!

Same goes for /usr/bin/ssh and /usr/bin/sshd, though permissions are correct. Can't even do it as root.

[14:56] hehe [15:00] No luck [15:04] morning everyone [15:06] 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 2008-05-18 [15:07] Have you ever used any RPM based install tools? [15:07] Google finds nothing. [15:07] ScottK-uds: Certainly not this Sunday. [15:08] I'd tend to be quite suspicious then. [15:08] adam_: Do you have physical access to the server? [15:09] ScottK-uds: No, but I do have someone on the inside.... [15:09] adam_: At this point I'd suggest booting it to a live CD and running your tools from the live CD. [15:10] ScottK-uds: Gotcha. Thanks.... [15:11] If 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. [15:14] ! [15:14] EEP, another machine has /etc/rpm/ssh also [15:19] problems :) [15:20] check /var/log/dpkg.log [15:20] maybe someone installed rpm tools [15:21] Nope [15:21] And I cannot move /usr/bin/ssh away [15:22] does anyone else has an access to those machines? [15:22] Yes, but they are in use and it would be *hell* to reboot them. [15:23] let me rephrase it [15:23] (This, despite /bin/mv and /bin/rm acting rootkit-ed) [15:23] does anybody else has root access to those machines [15:23] yup, one other. He's talking with me. [15:25] what's the md5sum of /bin/mv? [15:26] ...and can you be sure your md5sum binary hasn't been compromised? [15:26] Deeps: Hehe, I'm paranoid now :) [15:26] you can't, but let's check... [15:26] On the compromised server: 82eb04fee93c4c08407592891f22341d [15:26] that's i386? hardy? [15:26] yup [15:27] On *my* desktop, it's 33830461a75c9cf32f4631b6d6cbbd16 [15:27] that's not md5 of hardy's /bin/mv [15:27] that one's right [15:27] heh, shutdown time then [15:27] There's another server which also has an /etc/rpm/ssh, but it's got the proper md5sum [15:27] you've been owned [15:28] you use ssh keys? [15:28] yes, but passwords are also enabled [15:28] ssh keys with passwords? [15:29] or ssh and passwords [15:29] publickey,keyboard-interactive [15:31] ps ax | grep ssh [15:32] ps is probably compromised, but, well...

[17:11] * phil^ comforts uvirtbot [17:24] ugh, I know this is off-topic, but how the hell do you negate a group in regex? [17:26] No need to fucking swear. [17:27] * mm_202 meekly mutters 'sorry' [17:29] What exactly do you mean by negating a group? [17:31] soren: ($paused$)([\s\w:$]*(Disposition)) I need the second group, to NOT be found. "(\(paused$)([\s\w:\(]*(Disposition)){0}" should work, but doesnt. [17:32] Why should that work? [17:33] well, because {n} specifies now many times it should be matched. I want it matched zero times. [17:33] And it does. [17:33] "" matches "(stuff){0}" [17:33] Why wouldn't it? [17:33] Er.. [17:33] "stuff" matches "(stuff){0}" [17:34] ah. Hrm, damn lack of sleep. [17:34] For instance, you'll notice that between 'u' and 'f', it doesn't say "stuff". Hence, it matches. [17:35] okay, well how would I get it to make "cat" in "cat and mouse", but not in [17:35] in* "cat and dog" ? [17:35] basically, I just need a way to say that if a certain word is found, to fail the regex. [17:36] ... [17:36] Er.. [17:36] Yeah, tell me about it. [17:36] Seriously? [17:36] grep cat | grep -v dog [17:36] LOL [17:36] well this is for mysql / php :) [17:36] Then you are *soooo* in the wrong channel. [17:37] awww, come on.... [17:37] Its running on a ubuntu server :D [17:37] if (preg_match("/cat and/", $str) and !preg_match("/dog/", $str)) [17:37] or whatever. [17:37] It's been a while since I did php. [17:38] Know 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] If 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] Now* I know [17:38] soren: haha [17:38] soren: you're funny [17:38] 09:26 < soren> No need to fucking swear. [17:38] I'm actually very boring. [17:38] that part was funny [17:38] It's well-documented. [17:39] soren: k, just thought that you guys would know, or that I would get a faster reply. [17:39] Than in a php channel? Why, oh why? [17:39] And we probably do know. [17:40] It's just not very easy when we have to go through (so far) 3 iterations, before you actually tell us your problem. [17:41] Because 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] Anyways, fuck it. [17:41] 1. 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. [17:42] Great, another satisfied customer.

The sk who logged in managed to forget to clean the logs (even after downloading a log-cleaning program), so my expectations aren't high. [20:03] I dunno what else [20:04] Could it be nfs?

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.net [23:33] 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] I expect you'd have to do the rewrites before you shoved the message into Mailman [23:33] It's been ages since I've done anything with Mailman, so I don't really know though. [23:34] soren: cool [23:34] soren: i also made an if_all plugin that graphs all the network interfaces on a single graph, works well in conjunction with libvirt. [23:35] 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...it [23:35] it's just that webpage which bugs me.. [23:35] (and will probably confuse my non-technical group of users...it's just a hack of a list for a university club) [23:35] (run from a residential line ;-) [23:37] maybe I should just make a note in the "About list" section... [23:41] sten_: you could just update the actual webpage, but you would have to change it every time you upgrade mailman [23:43] 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. " [23:49] would 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?????? [23:50] I'm not sure what you mean? Unwise compared to what? [23:50] anabolix: 8.04 is the first release since Dapper (what was that 6.04?) to support many tape drives [23:50] Dapper was 6.06 [23:51] oh yeah, it was delayed! [23:52] sten_: 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? [23:56] anabolix: I'm not sure. As far as I know, the difference is mainly the kernel, and a few security things. [23:58] anabolix: 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. [23:59] Server 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.
