nealmcbcan anyone compare the diagnostics available for a dell PowerEdge 2850 on ubuntu vs centos?  My buddy wants to switch to centos from a really old ubuntu distro.  I recall hearing that dell had opensourced some management software for their stuff but he seems to think that at least the diagnostics are only rpm-based and the alien stuff didn't seem to work for him00:25
jetsaredimis there something special that needs to be done to be able to install from scratch with a pppoe connection?  why are these tools not built-in to the install cd00:34

nealmcbjetsaredim: ^00:36
nealmcbthough I haven't tried it... and I have to run now.....00:36
nealmcbback to poweredge and diagnostics - as I heard it, the diagnostics are on a cd that came with the system a few years ago.  I don't know if it is part of the omsa/openmanage or the ipmi stuff they're doing00:44
nxvlnealmcb: around?01:31
nxvlnealmcb: i think it will be kind of hard for ebox to use augeas01:31
nxvlnealmcb: ebox is writting in perl, while augeas is a C library with bindings for python and ruby only01:32

captbaritonephpmyadmin seems to be stuck running a query and I can't get it to load. Is there a way to have it stop?02:22
zulnealmcb: ebox written in perl not a good thing03:13
emgentmorning03:13
ScottKDepends on the Perl.  Lots of good stuff in Perl.  Lots of bad.03:13
Colin_Hey, how do I get my server to give out internet.  It has three network cards, two are in use atm.  One is internet from the dsl modem, the other goes out to the LAN. The server has internet, but it won't distribute it, although dhcp is working becauseit is distributing ip addresses05:12
nealmcbnxvl, zul: offhand it seems like adding perl bindings for augeas would be a lot less work than maintaining a backend for all the interesting services, if augeas is indeed useful in that regard.....  I'd prefer python all things being equal, but reinventing things because of language preferences can be a big step backwards.05:18
hadsColin_: You'll need to setup NAT on the gateway box. This can be done quite a few ways, I'd recommend using something like firehol as it will make your like easier.05:19
hadsIf your DSL modem is also doing nat then you'll be behind double nat which isn't so nice but it may not be a problem for you.05:20
Colin_hads, ah ok so using IPtables05:21
Colin_i should have known it wouldn't be simple05:21
Colin_the modem isn't doing NAT though05:21
hadsSo your public IP is on the linux box?05:21
Colin_correct05:21
hadsNice one05:22
hadsHope you've got a firewall already then :)05:22
Colin_no, but I'm working on it right now, haha05:22
hadsI'd really recommend something like firehol, you should be able to setup NAT with one or two lines.05:22
Colin_ok ill check into that05:23
Colin_i've heard about others like smoothwall and shorewall, what do you think about those05:23
hadsIf you run 'firehol helpme' it will try to guess a config for you even :)05:23
Colin_oh thats nice05:23
Colin_well I think i'll try that out then05:24
nxvlnealmcb: i was talking about ebox using augeas05:25
hadsColin_: At http://firehol.sourceforge.net/ scroll down there is an example config there, that will show you the jist of it.05:25
nxvlnealmcb: i've been thinking in writing ucsa in C because of augeas05:25
Colin_hads, I'm actually looking at that right now =)05:26
nealmcbnxvl: I was also - and it would seem that ebox could use augeas if there were some perl bindings, which wouldn't be too hard, would it?05:33
Colin_I set up firehol according to the documentation, and then started it, but I still don't get internet05:56
nxvlnealmcb: dunno, i don't write perl code for a loooong time05:59

the_messengerfrom how I understand it it's a limitation of the device routing your nat, so i don't think the routing on the server would be able to do anything15:32

jetsaredimtried to install ubuntu-server twice - both times I've had to force detection of ide_generic to get the cdrom drive recognized and also after the reboot the system fails to boot16:48

lukehasnonameGuys, I have some bad news. My bosses a few levels up have decided to make me do work at my job, so I might not be able to sit on the IRC all day and read the mailing list as it trickles in. I'll still be around a little....sometimes.17:08
mathiaznijaba: yeah -pulp looks interesting17:09
mathiaznijaba: have you looked at the interface ?17:09
nijabayes, that's the cool part17:10
mathiaznijaba: it uses turbogears IIRC17:10

mathiazKoon: re bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/192643 - I'd assign the bug to the network-manager package17:55

=== bamed is now known as bamed|lunch
mathiazKoon: if it's a missing feature, then you can set the importance to whishlist17:57

mathiazKoon: you can ask for membership in #ubuntu-bugs17:59
mathiazKoon: or bdmurray17:59
Koonmathiaz: ok, will do18:00
mathiazKoon: and even if you don't have bug-control power, assigning to the NetworkManager package doesn't hurt18:00
mathiazKoon: it seems that it's a legitimate request18:00
mathiazKoon: so bringing this up to the network-manager packager is a good thing18:00
Koondoing it right now.18:01
zulmathiaz: yep18:06
zullooks like it18:06
mathiazzul: ok - then it qualifies for an SRU18:06
zulmathiaz: ok i was going to split the sybase and mssql into their own seperate package18:06
zulintrepid suffers from the same regression but the build system has changed from what it looks like18:07
mathiazzul: splitting the packages would probably work for intrepid18:14
mathiazzul: for hardy, you'd have to keep the same package in place18:14
zulmathiaz: thats a bit difficult :)18:14
zulbut ill try18:15
mathiazzul: has the hardy packaging changed a lot from gutsy É18:15
mathiazzul: ?18:15
zulmathiaz: no but in hardy it uses sed to change the librabry from sybase to mssql18:16

[diablo]evening guys20:38
[diablo]is there no 64 bit version of JeOS?20:38
JanCno20:40
[diablo]ok20:40
lukehasnoname[diablo]: I know, it's sad20:40
sommer_[diablo]: you can create a KVM/Qemu image using ubuntu-vm-builder... it'll take a few minutes, but probably less time than downloading an ISO20:41
[diablo]atm I have KVM-70 in my Ubuntu 8.04 x64 desktop ... with a Ubuntu 8.04 Server x64 guest20:41
JanCyou need a VM with more than 4 GiB RAM?20:41
sommer_[diablo]: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ubuntu-vm-builder.html20:41
[diablo]well, the box has a Q6600 and 4GB of DDR20:41
sommer_JanC: not necessarily, I've seen it work great with 2G20:42
[diablo]I give my kvm guests 1GB or less20:42
sommer_heh, you should be good to go :)20:42
JanCwhy would you want a 64-bit guest kernel if your host system is only 4 GiB RAM?20:43
lukehasnonameJanC: Consistency20:43
sommer_isn't more always better?  heeh20:43
[diablo]I like the idea of a pimped kernel for the virtual server20:44
[diablo]sounds nice20:44
JanC64-bit will use more memory in most cases, and might even be slower in some cases...20:44
[diablo]JanC, you referring to KVM guests?20:44
JanCkvm or vmware or whatever (I use kvm)20:45
[diablo]I have not heard of any preformance  loss using a x64 guest on a x64 host20:46
JanC64-bit software uses 64-bit pointers, which are double the size of 32-bit pointers...   ;)20:46
[diablo]yes20:47
[diablo]but your said might be slower20:47
JanCthis also means that less of them fit into the CPU caches, so more cache misses & more memory fetches _might_ be the result..20:48
lukehasnonamecan ubuntu-vm-builder be used to create an ISO? I mean, what is the output?20:48
sommer_lukehasnoname: the output is a vm disk (not sure of the exact terminology), basically what you'd use a jeos iso to create20:49
jjessevmdk?20:49
sommer_virtual disk file20:49
sommer_jjesse: heh, ya20:50
JanC.vmdk or .img or .qcow or whatever you prefer, I suppose20:50
lukehasnonamesommer_: Hmmm. Ok. I haven't had a chance to throw up a virtual environment because apt-mirror SUCKS20:51
sommer_not sure what virtual environment has to do with apt-mirror?20:51
lukehasnonameI tried to tell it to only download certain 64-bit repos, not an entire mirror, and it still told me it was a 44GB download when I know it should have been like 2020:51
lukehasnonameand I have no internet at home so I can't get files for my server so I was tryingto download a mirror onto my laptop at a friend's house20:52
lukehasnonamebut I didn't have time20:52
sommer_ah gotcha, ya the internets comes in handy when usign u-v-m20:52
[diablo]this JeOS idea is very niffty indeed20:52
[diablo]installing a guest now20:52
lukehasnonameWhat does JeOS have going for it against ubuntu-vm-builder?20:53
lukehasnonameI mean, how is it tweaked for VM usage?20:53
sommer_ubuntu-vm-builder was originally created to make the jeos iso files, but then they releazied it was a great tool20:53
[diablo]from what I read the kernel only contains what is required20:53
sommer_so using u-v-m or downloading a jeos iso basically gets you to the same place, a stripped down ubuntu vm :)20:54
mgsmxi suppose there are some people who write the server guide here, I have a suggestion for the Samba-section: rewrite it from scratch! I think it's a strange-written, unclear document with a lot of superflues information, it cost me ages to get my samba working, while i know see it was just typing two lines in de CLI... :(20:55
jjessemgsmx: thanks for your feedback, could you report a bug with suggestions against ubuntu-doc?20:55
sommer_mgsmx: that's in progress actually :), should have drafts up next week probably20:55
jjessethat way it deosn't get lost in the channel20:55
mgsmxoh :) alright20:56
jjessemgsmx: thanks, soemtimes the people who work on the guide forget what is said in the channel and work better against a bug20:56
mgsmxah, i see20:56
[diablo]damn that boots quick as hell, and it's a qcow2 image20:57
lukehasnonamesommer_: For Samba or for the entire guide?21:04
sommer_lukehasnoname: here's the spec: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidServerGuide21:06
sommer_lukehasnoname: most of the sections were update/expanded for hardy, but there wasn't time for the windows networking section21:07
lukehasnonameCome later in the year (September?) I wouldn't mind QA testing those docs21:08
sommer_lukehasnoname: that'd be awesome... the more feedback the better21:09
lukehasnonameoh my freaking GOD there is a beautiful woman standing at the cubicle next to me21:10
