jamminI'm having some trouble with bacula installation on hardy.  Had no problems of this sort on... um... I think it was actually fiesty before this round of upgrades.00:02
jamminIt seems the bacula-director-mysql package doesn't work.  It doesn't create the db it is supposed to, and doesn't give any error messages to imply there is any trouble.00:02
jamminI've been poking around at this thing for way to long... help?00:02
ScottK-udsjammin: Look for ivoks when he's on this channel.  He did some significant rework on the package for Hardy to get it to meet security requirements for Main.00:21
jamminScottK-uds: thanks.  I'll come back to try to catch him.00:28
jamminThat's cool.  I'm just venting I guess.  :)  I'd hunt down further, but this is for work, and there's plenty of other stuff I really should be attending to instead.00:36
jamminI don't really know the packaging system well enough to dig into it efficiently.  I could probably do it, but it'd take me forever...00:36
ScottK-udsjammin: Just catch ivoks later.  I'm pretty sure he'll either point you in the right direction or start working on a fix.00:36
jamminSounds good.  Except I should be sleeping myself in 8 hours. :)  Maybe I'll still be up...00:38
ScottK-udsWe have a 9 hour work day here at UDS, so he should still be around when you wake up.00:42
keithclarkIs there a database out there for linux that is easy to use and as powerful as access?  I've tried to use Base, but it is not supported all that well.05:26
keithclarkok, I guess not, back to windows and access for me.  Thanks for listening though!05:29
hadsheh05:32
hadsThere are excellent database servers which run on Linux. The issue is that Access isn't really a database server.05:33
hadsIt's more of a thing that does database stuff (badly) and also GUI forms etc.05:33
keithclarkI did not say server05:33
hadsI did05:34
keithclarkI would like to have a single user database to run on my server05:34
ajmitchno, but you're in the server channel05:34
keithclarkSee above05:34
hadskeithclark: SQLite is an excellent non-server database :)05:34
keithclarkhads:  I've tried all the linux stuff, but I need something simpler....with an easy to use interface.05:35
keithclarkNo scripts and such05:35
hadskeithclark: You'd possible be better off asking in a desktop channel then. This is the server channel, most people running servers don't have a GUI interface and instead rely on scripts and such.05:36
keithclarkAh, but I need it to run on my server and be available via ssh05:36
hadsSo, something like Access that runs via ssh from your server?05:37
ajmitchthose few of us that are alive here probably aren't like to know of basic GUI database frontends05:37
keithclarkYeah, too much?05:37
hadsI don't know about too much, I just don't get it.05:38
* hads goes back to work05:38
keithclark?05:39
keithclarkThanks for making fun of someone new....have a good night.05:41
hadskeithclark: I wasn't making fun of you. I don't get what you're tring to do. Like I said, probably better to ask elsewhere, GUI apps typically aren't server related.05:43
keithclarkNo worries, thanks for trying.05:43

sunnyis ubuntu server compatible with rhel?12:19
sunnyanyone home?12:23
dthackersunny: compatible in what way?12:24
sunnyi am not sure either, i get an advise from other saying that centos is preferred over ubuntu when compatible with rehl is considered12:26
sunnyi am trying to setup a server with other rehl server existing.12:27
dthackerubuntu uses a different package management system than rhel.  CentOS uses the same packaging system.12:27
sunnyso will i be able to link them together?12:28
dthackerSo in that way, CentOS is more compatible.12:28
dthackerafk 10 mins.  storm coming in must close windows12:29
sunnywhat is the difference anyway?12:30

Alblasco1702hallo is somebody here they now samething about postfix?13:37
_rubeni started using postfix only recently (currently in the process of stresstesting a bulk mailer based on postfix), so i gathered some knowledge, but not much, yet :)13:38
Alblasco1702i want to use another drive dan de home dir bud i don't now how i had to configure that.13:39
_rubenuse for what? storing the emails?13:39
Alblasco1702yes13:39
_rubenwith a defailt install the mail's stored in /var/spool/mail/username i thought13:40
_rubenprocmail is used as delivery agent by default, with /etc/procmailrc you can configure where your email ends up13:40
Alblasco1702ok i have a special partition for my email that i wil use.13:42
Alblasco1702_ruben: thnx for your help for so far13:43
_rubenAlblasco1702: i'd mount that under /var/mail/ (/var/spool/mail is symlink to that dir) and have postfix/procmail deliver it to /var/mail/username13:48

bordyAfternoon folks... anyone have any experience with Dell's CERC raid controller?18:29
bordyOur IT guy is having a heck of a time with it, giving him more of an excuse to bash Linux :-X18:31

LeChacali my web/mail server has two NICs a different public IP  for each i am trying to setup the mail server part using19:02
LeChacali my web/mail server has two NICs a different public IP  for each i am trying to setup the mail server part using (postfix and Courier IMAP) but i get blocked when send emails to comcast because the server is sending the mail through the web IP so the DNS isnt for mail and comcast blocks email from it. So how can i make the mail serves go through one and web go through the other?19:05

phynixanyone willing so answer some questions about using ubuntu as an internet gateway20:56
Deepsdont ask to ask, just ask20:57
phynixya sorry i just saw that20:57
phynixok i have a computer that has two nics20:58
phynixone to the outside world20:58
phynixand the other connected to the router20:58
phynixi can connect just fine to the outside but computers cannot connect to the internet20:58
Deepscat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward20:59
Deepsand urr, 'router'?20:59
gladkhi all!20:59
phynixit is wireless router/switch20:59
phynixmy ultimate goal is to is add dhcp to its lists of jobs21:00
Deepsmight i recommend simplifying things initially, and juts having a single computer connected directly to your internal nic21:01
Deepsand getting that second computer able to access the internet first21:01
Deepsbefore you start playing with complicating it21:01
gladkCan anybody help me with the next problem: "aptitude" shows that linux-image-2.6.22-14-server is partly installed, so when I try to add some packages, it adds and after that is trying to complete installation linux-image but with no success. Does anybody khow what the problem can be? Thank you21:01
phynixgood idea21:02
phynixwell i think my problem is somewhere with the second interface21:02
phynixi tried editing the second interface eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces but i don't know what to put there21:02
Deepslook for a guide to create a router with ubuntu21:04
Deepsthere are lots detailing all the steps you need to take21:04
phynixya been doing it21:04
Deepsthe basic key needs are21:04
Deeps/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward should be 121:04
Deepsand iptables -I POSTROUTING -o <extenral interface, eg. eth0> -j MASQUERADE21:04
phynixwow ok thanks for the direction21:05
Deepsand avoid webmin21:06
phynixjust curious21:06
phynixwhy21:06
stefgebox is quite nice21:06
Deeps!webmin21:06
ubottuwebmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead.21:06
stefg!ebox21:06
ubottuebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox21:07
phynixok duly noted21:07
Deepsyou're better off doing it all from the CLI if you're capable21:07
phynixya I would rather do it that way so I know how it works21:08
phynixi just didn't know where to start21:08
Deepsthat's what guides are for ;)21:08
phynixthe keyword in the search was router21:08
phynixbefore that wasn't finding anything21:08
phynixthanks for the help21:16
