nicolab80Hi, I can't install hardy as a guest on virtualbox. The installation hangs and virtualox take 100% of cpu.15:18
nicolab80Any idea? There useful log file that I can use to fill a bug report?15:18
bipanybody around using vmware-server ?16:15
nicolab80bip: yes16:19
nicolab80but not with ubuntu16:20
nicolab80do you need help?16:20
bipfixed it16:35
bipafter googling16:35
bipthe 64bit version has a PAM bug16:35
\shhmm?16:36
\shvmware-server has a 64bit version?16:37
\sh(I mean not running 64bit os guests)16:37
\shthe whole crap is mostly i386 code ;)16:37
bipit has16:38
bipi m running it right now16:38
bipon a quad core xeonn server16:39
\shbip, yes..with a whole lot of i386 packages on amd64 ;)16:39
bipwell ...16:39
bipi just need it as virtualization host16:39
\shbip, if you can afford a quad...why bother with vmware-server and not directly go to esx? it's much better in resource management16:39
bipwell16:40
bipbecause i broke the piggy bank to buy the server16:40
bipand now i dont have any pig left tto buy a esx licence16:40
\shhehe16:41
gclericbip: on a lighter note you can port vm's created on the free vmware-server to esx using the free vmware converter.16:44
gclericat a later date...16:44
bipi know i wont throw away when i will find the piggies gcleric ;-)16:45
bipi have been using vmware since workstation 2 o 316:45
bipI have forgot when exactly ;-)16:45
gclericif an when you do go esx budget for 2 to 3 server lic.  load balancing resources with DRS clustering is a must.16:47
gcleric...and shared storage too.. =)16:47
\shshared storage...16:47
\shhp bl35c center + netapp == platin16:48
bipi know i was doin some readin about SAN16:48
bipand blade servers16:48
gclericyup... a NFS, iSCSI, FCP storage that can be shared between the ESX servers...where the VM's will be stored.16:49
bipi wonder if my next empoyer will buy me trhat stuff16:49
bipright now16:49
\shfor only some 2 or 3 servers, some up2date raid 5/6 sata storage boxes with iscsi on board can be enough for the first step16:49
bipi have to uuse 2 dell 1800 with dual xeon for lan and dmz server16:49
bipbut we r a low traffic network16:49
bipmore a testing network then a real network16:50
\shgig ethernet doesn't cost the world anymore16:50
gclericfor the vmware esx cluster you only need servers that have the same cpu family.16:50
bipso  I mnot sure we really need the big miscle required to run virtualized srvers16:50
bipgig nics will be bought16:50
bipwhat i highly doubt is getting shared storage soon16:51
\shbip, believe me, when you run several vmware-server guests, and your systime on the guests is running out of sync ... then it's time, really16:51
bipu mean time out of sync is  a i/o issue ?16:51
bipwell as I said no one of my guest boxes is really under heavy usage ...16:52
\shyou never tried to run an oracle db server under sles9 on vmware-server  ;)16:52
bipi have to balance a bit between hardware resouces my boss wont buy and the sort of network I need to run16:52
bipno16:53
bipand I don t plan to16:53
bipi have a few mysql server backing web apps16:53
bipbut hey mu network serves 16 users16:53
bipso I don t think there is much justification for overspending on hardware16:54
gclericbip you can build an esx -- sort -of -- using the free version vmware-server 3 servers.16:54
bipwe have 3 vmware server already running16:54
gclericone server as a shared storage via NFS.16:54
bipone is hosts our lan boxes16:54
bipthe other one ha the dmz machines16:54
gclerictwo servers running vmware-server mounting the vm's via the NFS share.16:54
bipthen w e have an old crappy pc for testing16:55
gclericthe shared storage PC dose not need to be beefy....just a lot of storage and a good nic or two...GigE.16:57
bipi know i have been thinkin about settin up some sort of home made NAS16:58
gclericbip that would do...16:58
bipdo u think that one of those contemporary mobo with 6 sata slots will be enuff for runnin about ten low usage vms ?16:58
bipi mean 6 disks maybe setup as riad 516:59
bipraid 516:59
bipsata 2 disks ?16:59
gclericwhat flavor of raid?16:59
bipraid 5 i think16:59
gclericya...16:59
bipto optimize storage16:59
\sh16 500g sata drives, a fast raid controller which can support 16 sata channels...(e.g. areca or whatever) and push some openisci linux on it..voila best storage ever...cheap16:59
bipi could prolly do 1016:59
bipthey wont buy me those toys \sh sorry16:59
bipi have to survive with what i can scrap17:00
\shbip, http://www.ccsstore.de/shop/article_IServ000001/Industrie-Server-2x-AMD-Opteron-2,2-GHZ,-3HE,-16x-500GB-HDD.html?shop_param=cid%3D49%26aid%3DIServ000001%2617:00
\shsorry only german17:00
gclericraid 5 should work  using something like freeNAS.17:00
bipyeah my colleague will love that17:01
bipeven if it appears like developent on freenas has stopped17:01
gclericthe vmware-server front end servers will not require much storage locally if you have a shared storage backend that the front end servers mount the storage from.17:02
gclericalso if one of the frontend servers dies you can remount the vm's on the remaining running server.17:02
bip\sh, I ahve an idea u go an ask my boss for Preis EUR 2.796,5017:03
bipif i says yes ...17:03
bipI come in too ;-)17:03
bipI know the theory gcleric , just money is the issue17:04
gclericsorry...I'll shut now...17:04
bipit s ok17:04
\shbip, check this out: http://www.presseportal.de/pm/60208/866278/combots_ag/ <- my former DC :)17:05
bipmaybe my next employer will be less cheap ;-)17:05
\sh638 of those servers you could buy there...16x 638 500GB Sata Drives :) a lot of storage..17:05
biplisten I backup only the bare minimum because they wont give more the 2 36GB dat tapes for week17:07
bipour work is saved on a raid file server rsynced every hour to an othere raid server, while I hope the y dont break ;-)17:08
gclericI would get an email from your bosses stating why they won't covert the butts in the event of disaster... to cover you butt.17:10
bipmy butt and the whole company seem to be pretty gone17:10
biplast monday a colleague told me that the company will be sold or go belly up ...17:11
bip:(17:11
\shsysadmins are always to blame if something goes wrong17:13
bipright now I mworking on my home server, just to keep my skills sharp since sounds like I gonna be job hunting pretty soon17:13
bipwe r always to blame17:13
bipso i sorta ignore em until they start kickin me ;-)17:13
\sh"You were at fault..that's why our company lost and died" "But Boss, you didn't give me the money to buy...." "Don't come with this money shit..." "But..." "NO But, you're fired, cowhead"17:14
bipthey can t fire me17:14
bipsince they never hired me ...17:14
bipI m a self employed contractor formally ;-)17:15
gclericwith luck they can't sue you either...17:15
bipno they cannot ...17:15
bipbut they r nice bastards ...17:15
bipI know they wont ;-)17:15
\shlast words of a dead man;)17:17
bipwhat do u know about mailserver working with dydndns ?17:18
bipdo they work ?17:18
bipthey dont ?17:18
bipthey do but are a pain in the ass ?17:18
\shdyndns is hobby..no serious company is relying on this17:18
bipI m not talkin about a company \sh17:19
bipI m talkin about runnin a server of my own mainly for testing purposes17:19
\shbip, it works...17:20
bipI know that is noy something to be used for production server17:20
bipok17:20
bipsomebody told me then some smtp server wont accept mail comin from dynamic ip17:22
\shbip, yes..from dynamic ips it's mostly not working (sending mail) .. I was more talking about receiving17:33
freeflying\sh: some dynamic dns provider may make it work17:40
bipu mean it is not the same with every dynamic dns provider freeflying ?17:40
freeflyingbip: maybe17:40
\shfreeflying, how, when you directly send out your mails from your own server on a dsl line with dynamic ip? you need a relay17:47
freeflying\sh: they will provider ur dns resolve17:48
\shfreeflying, resolving is not the problem...most likely they make a reverse lookup (in-addr.arpa lookup) and they you are stuck17:50
bipwell the reversse lookup is screwed with loto of staic ip too17:50
bipbut they might blacklist known dynamic ip ranges17:51
bipwe discovered this yesterday one reverse lookup resolves to our isp name17:51
bipeven if we own a block of 8 public ip17:52
stiv2kanyone here good at configuring sendmail?  Hotmail denies all the emails I send to them from my server....18:11
bipare u using dynamic ip stiv2k ?18:11
stiv2kbip: no18:12
bipor your ip reverse lookup doesnt resolve to your ip for some reason stiv2k ?18:12
stiv2kbip: its hosted on a dedicated server18:12
stiv2kbip: its at rickb.net18:12
stiv2kyou can test the DNS for yourself18:12
bipoh well ...18:13
stiv2ki can send email to anywhre but hotmail18:13
bipi can18:13
bipok18:13
stiv2kit says this18:14

Deepswhatever was testing at the time, i'd guess18:20
Deepslenny18:21
Deepsno, i lie18:22
Deepsat a guess, was etch when it was in testing18:22
stickystyleyeah, looking at the timeline now..looks like it would have been etch.18:22
emgenthello19:24
TechieDragonI have a script issue that I can't seem to resolve.  The line that seems to be at issue is ls -l %1.  If I pass in no params it works fine.  If I pass in z* I get one file listed.  If I pass in 'z*' I get all the files starting with z - any ideas?20:07
Deepsyes, the * is being evaulated by your shell20:14
Deepspass '*' or \*20:14
Deepsto avoid it happening20:14
