nxvlmathiaz: around?00:24
a13xsummary of my problem: i am trying to install ubuntu server.  i run check CD for defects multiple times and every time it tells me some random file is corrupted (different files most of the time).  Here are the things I tried to do: redownload and burn new cd, burn the cd on another computer, burn a rewritable cd on both computers, replace the cd rom, replace the cd rom cable, vertify data on burning software after recording (passed).  nothing seems to h00:25
a13xelp00:25
ScottK2Are you using the same burning software every time?00:26
a13xno00:26
nxvlmathiaz: i update the wu-ftpd debdiff, are this the changes you wanted? i'm kind of confused about the Vcs-* fields00:26
a13xk3b on my linux machine, cdburnerxp on windows vista00:26
mathiaznxvl: yeah - I've asked around and changing the Vcs-* are not mandatory00:26
mathiaznxvl: there was discussion about how to handle them, but no final decision has been taken00:27
mathiaznxvl: so for now, I'd leave them as is (ie not change them).00:27
a13xi also tested memory which was fine00:28
nxvlmathiaz: i have already change them00:30
nxvl:S00:30
* nxvl reverts the change & uploads00:30
nxvlmathiaz: done00:32
mathiaznxvl: ok - sorry for the trouble - I'll have a look at your diff later00:37
* nxvl HUGS mathiaz 00:37
nxvlbtw00:37
nxvldid you see the augeas thing?00:37
nxvli find it really usefull00:38
nxvli will try to package it and include it00:38
Wicky656is there a way to make likewise-open use /etc/skel for the .profile and such for new user directories?00:48
a13xI am trying to install ubuntu server.  I ran check CD for defects # of times and every time it tells me some random file is corrupted (different files most of the time).  I've tried to: redownload and burn new cd, burn the cd on another computer, burn a rewritable cd on both computers (k3b and CDBurnerXP), replace the cd rom, replace the cd rom cable, vertify data on burning software after recording (passed), ran memory test (passed), download dvd, burn02:09
a13x(rw), check (passed).  nothing helps02:09
slimjim8094do a md5sum on the file (iso)02:11
a13xdoing md5sum...02:19
a13xthere something interesting which i didn't mention: i have a raid card that supposed to create a raid 1 out of two hard drives02:20
a13xand i have created it in its bios util02:20
a13xbut ubuntu still shows 2 hard drives02:20
a13x# md5sum ubuntu-8.04-server-i386.iso02:24
a13xc3162b21757746c64a0a22cdd060b164  ubuntu-8.04-server-i386.iso02:24
soulcis there a way to upgrade to 8.04 server using apt-get?  I did it on my desktop02:28
a13xnot sure, it i am sure i will shoot myself very soon02:29
a13xit almost seems like there is a bug in ubuntu that makes it read corrupt files02:30
a13xrandom on-the-fly corruption02:30

SeaPhorJberg88, then i will learn more and offer he;p where i can, thank you for the reply05:26
SeaPhor*help05:26
Jberg88SeaPhor: no problem man.05:27
RoAkSoAxJberg88, sudo apt-get update and try to install mysql againg05:28
specialKevinSeaPhor: you might want to check out squid for the proxy and iptables for the firewall05:29
specialKevinSeaPhor: what kind of authentication do you have on the wan currently05:29
specialKevinSeaPhor: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/squid.html that might be helpful for squid05:31
Jberg88RoAkSoAx: it failed yet again :-(05:31
SeaPhorwell thats what i'm looking at,, seems i only know how to protect the local and deny the wan, but if its a wan connection as a proxy,,, cant wrap my head around both at same time?05:31
specialKevinSeaPhor: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/firewall-configuration.html05:31
specialKevinthat might help with the firewall05:32
RoAkSoAxJberg88, could you show me please?05:34
SeaPhori know how to set up for a local, had 350 boxes to go thru 1 machine,,, but then to allow any from wan (non local) that would have to be ,,, well different, almost a vpn?05:34
jber1http://paste.ubuntu.com/17804/05:36
RoAkSoAxJberg88, sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server-5.0 then: sudo apt-get autoremove and then sudo apt-get autoclean05:36
RoAkSoAxJberg88, also try sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor stop just in case... and then install it again.. and it should download mysql again and not install it from the cache05:37
Jberg88ok05:37
Jberg88I already started on the first05:37
Jberg88RoAkSoAx: I think I might have to do a fresh install again. it didn't work05:42
jber1E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)05:42
RoAkSoAxJberg88, could you show the complete log please?05:42
jber1RoAkSoAx: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17805/05:44
RoAkSoAxJberg88, ok frist, sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server-5.0 then,sudo apt-get autoremove, then: sudo apt-get autoclean then verify that /var/cache/apt/archives is clean... if not erase all the .debs from there... and then install it again.. the thing is that apt-get should download mysql-server again instead of installing it from the cache05:46
Jberg88oh ok05:47
Jberg88woah var/cache/apt/archives is full! delete everything, i tried rm *.deb but they didn't work05:52
RoAkSoAxJberg88, sudo rm *.deb05:52
Jberg88oh ok thanks that's done05:52
RoAkSoAxok now try installing mysql-server-5.0 again05:53
specialKevinSeaPhor: yea a VPN would probably be your best bet05:53
RoAkSoAxJberg88, it should download it again now05:54
Jberg88RoAkSoAx: yeah it is I am putting in the password for mysql05:54
Jberg88it is continuing now05:55
SeaPhorcan that connect to a proxy caching server /firewall ?if si,,, the acl's would have to be ,,, tough?05:55
specialKevinSeaPhor: not sure, I haven't setup a proxy or anything like that before05:56
SeaPhorspecialKevin, can that connect to a proxy caching server /firewall ?if si,,, the acl's would have to be ,,, tough?05:56
Jberg88RoAkSoAx: :-( it is not working at all05:56
Jberg88same error as before05:56
RoAkSoAxJberg88, can you show it to me again05:57
Jberg88yes05:57
SeaPhorspecialKevin, ok, well at least thank you for the response,,, i have built internal proxy cache server/firewalls, and have heard of proxy ip servers, but never heard of how to combine the 205:59
jber1RoAkSoAx: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17807/05:59
RoAkSoAxJberg88, try invoke.rc-d mysql-server06:03

AnRkeywhy would my 8.04 server take nearly a minute to authenticate my password when i login?09:21
InsomniaCityAnRkey: I had that on a fedora box with a dying hard drive, there was a bad sector where auth.log was being stored09:27
InsomniaCity(so the login was successful, but it didn't run my shell until it finished writing the log entry, which meaned waiting for the drive to timeout)09:29
AnRkeycrap it's my ebox trying to integrate ldap09:32
AnRkeyit eventually authenticates from the unix account09:32
AnRkeyInsomniaCity, i have had some strange hdd problems before too09:32
AnRkeyabout three months ago i had a server that was making me lose hair09:33
AnRkeyit turned out that the one drive had a fault and only the seagate tools would show it09:33

XpoMahi. When I type df -a it tells me df: `none`: No such file or directory. Any thoughts on this one plaesE?13:57
dstaggQuestion Please: I have modified the control-alt-delete file to prevent that and it logs to syslog but it doesn't display the message to the console. How do I make that happen?16:31
dstaggthe logger man page says : -s but it doesn't see to work!16:37
lamontScottK: I'm looking at debian bug 311812 and wondering if I care enough anymore...  if I just stop chrooting postfix by default, then I can close that bug...18:14
uvirtbotDebian bug 311812 in postfix "postfix: syslog reconnection" [Grave,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/31181218:14
lamontand ubuntu we can fix the syslog daemon, and postfix can stay chrooted18:14
lamontthoughts?18:15
lamontnow that's just funny18:16
lamontScottK-laptop: you have scrollback there, or shall I paste you the last 4 lines before you joined?18:16
ScottK-laptopPlease paste it.18:17
ScottK-laptopScrollback is at home and I'm not.18:17
lamontScottK-laptop: and here is fine for the continuing discussion18:17
ScottK-laptopThanks.18:17
ScottK-laptopThere's always file a serious bug on syslog for not providing the right API and make that bug block yours.18:18
lamontgiven that debian isn't going to fix syslog to do what I need for the postfix fix, I'm inclined to just make that a slightly larger ubuntu-fork18:18
ScottK-laptopThat or play chicken and dare them to remove it from Testing.18:19
ScottK-laptopYou could unchroot it in Debian and then I could file a grave bug about security regression from Etch?18:20
lamontthat'd be debian bug 46273918:20
uvirtbotDebian bug 462739 in inetutils-syslogd "postfix: syslog reconnection" [Grave,Fixed] http://bugs.debian.org/46273918:20
lamontheh.  which is closed18:21
lamontOTOH, syslogd comes from sysklogd on my system18:22
lamontScottK-laptop: yeah, that was my thinking (regression from etch)18:23
ScottK-laptopThere was some discussion about switching the default syslog for Lenny.18:23
lamontI'll fix postfix to deliver the hook file, and then file a bug against sysklogd for not doing things right.18:23
ScottK-laptopI don't recall how it came out18:23
lamont(for the new definition of "right" :)18:23
ScottK-laptoplamont: Sounds like a plan.18:24
lamontok.  plan for the evening is complete. :)18:24
lamontany other postfix bugs you want to see dead in lenny?  the current 2.5.2-2 upload is nothing but debconf translations atm18:25
ScottK-laptopSo I just spent 5 hours driving to Pittsburgh, PA to deliver my wifew and 3 daughters to a baby shower with the promise of no men allowed, go have fun while we're there.18:25

ScottK-laptopUgh.18:26

ScottK-laptopI should be back home before I get online again.18:26
lamont"have to" is a bit of a strong term..18:26
ScottK-laptopYes, but only a bit.18:26
lamontand what if any choice have we made about sysklogd vs inetutils-syslog for intrepid, I wonder?18:27
lamontand afk.  enjoy the party18:27
