| n-iCe | where can I load the programs(commands) that I want to run when ubuntu starts? | 00:18 |
|---|---|---|
| dthacker | n-iCe: /etc/init.d/rc.local | 00:27 |
| hads | Or maybe cron @reboot as an alternative | 00:28 |
| n-iCe | dthacker: thanks! | 00:34 |

| n-iCe | buut | 00:35 |
| n-iCe | http://www.asdasd.pastebin.com/m1d69fae1 | 00:35 |
| n-iCe | where do I add it? | 00:35 |
| n-iCe | the command is, ddclient | 00:35 |
| n-iCe | dthacker: ? | 00:37 |
| dthacker | n-iCe: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ | 00:39 |
| n-iCe | thanks! | 00:39 |
| n-iCe | that's for a script | 00:40 |
| n-iCe | this is just a command | 00:40 |
| n-iCe | ddlient | 00:40 |
| n-iCe | ddclient | 00:40 |
| dthacker | n-iCe: please look in /etc/init.d Is there a file called ddclient? | 00:44 |
| n-iCe | uhm | 00:49 |
| n-iCe | dthacker: yes | 01:03 |
| dthacker | n-iCe: then ddclient is going to run as a daemon. to start from the command line use "/etc/init.d/ddclient start" To have ddclient autostart look in system-settings--advanced tab--services. | 01:06 |
| n-iCe | thanks | 01:06 |
| n-iCe | how do I change the login message? | 01:13 |

| Sp0tter | nijaba: Is adding your own key and recompiling the debian keyring not part of the kickstart method? From what i've seen so far you can't make any changes to the install iso without doing that? | 18:54 |
| nijaba | Sp0tter: not if the only thing you do is changing install parameters. You will need to fiddle with keyring only if you change the packages AFAIK | 19:01 |
| Sp0tter | nijaba: I've tried only changing lines in the isolinux.cfg and the default ubuntu seed file and it gave the MD5 checksum error | 19:02 |
| nijaba | Sp0tter: md5sum does NOT use the keyring | 19:03 |
| Sp0tter | nijaba: oh, what would cause that then? | 19:03 |
| nijaba | Sp0tter: it is only there to verify the integrity of the media | 19:03 |
| Sp0tter | nijaba: is there a way to disable that? | 19:03 |

| kirkland | kees: yeah, i see that. you want to handle that on commit, or shall i respin the patch? | 21:03 |

| kees | (the proc/mdstat info gets shown on real failure) | 21:04 |
| Sp0tter | hey I just thought of a great idea, you know how you can highlight text that has your name in it in the chat here, there should be a plugin that highlights , but it alternates colors in rotation based on the nick.. so first thing sp0tter says withy our name.. then sp0tter is assined color X, then if someone else says your name he is assigned a different highlight color | 21:05 |

| lukehasnoname | kirkland: Just curious: If a drive fails in a RAID, how is it currently handled? No need for a huge detailed explanation, just a brief answer | 21:28 |
| kees | kirkland: in your blog post you might want to call attention to that fact that grub isn't raid-sane yet, and that testers could run into that problem. | 21:28 |
| kirkland | kees: I think i'd also like to see something printed when on your subsequent boots when you're in a degraded RAID (but mdadm expects that) | 21:28 |
| kirkland | kees: yeah, i was planning on fixing that this week, but iscsi got promoted | 21:28 |
| kees | kirkland: well, that should be "mdadm --daemon"'s problem. | 21:28 |
| kirkland | kees: but good point, i'll add that | 21:28 |
| kirkland | kees: i think mdadm might send email about that | 21:29 |
| kees | it does | 21:29 |
| kirkland | lukehasnoname: handled by whom? the kernel? mdadm? the boot processes? | 21:29 |
| kirkland | kees: good, that's probably adequate | 21:29 |
| lukehasnoname | kirkland: Let me read a bit more before I ask | 21:30 |
| kirkland | lukehasnoname: good man ;-) | 21:30 |
| kirkland | lukehasnoname: now, i'll give you the briefest answer.... | 21:30 |
| kirkland | lukehasnoname: the kernel will keep chugging along, reading/writing to the raid device, mdadm will mark the drived 'FAILED', and if configured, send email to the sysadmin about it | 21:31 |
| kirkland | lukehasnoname: prior to the work kees and I have been doing, the next boot would dump you to a busybox prompt, saying your RAID couldn't be started because of a failed device | 21:31 |
| kirkland | lukehasnoname: but we just added support for the user adding a 'bootdegraded=true' bit to the kernel command line, if you wanted to force the boot of a degraded RAID | 21:32 |
| lukehasnoname | ah | 21:34 |
| lukehasnoname | >_> | 21:34 |

| J-_ | So, I've put a new USB2.0 PCI card in my server. Now, I've connected my external drive to it. The server doesn't have a GUI, it's running dapper. Usually I would cd to /media/ and the drive would be there. Can anyone suggest anything? | 22:24 |
| J-_ | lspci shows the usb2.0 card | 22:25 |
| J-_ | dmesg | less shows the drive | 22:25 |
| yareckon | hi guys, I'm migrating from redhat and wanted to put same users on my new debian/ubuntu machine | 22:26 |
| yareckon | what is the best way to migrate folks over | 22:26 |
| yareckon | is there a tool that folks recommend? | 22:27 |
| J-_ | my external drive is EXT3 | 22:27 |
| yareckon | I have seen a guide where you copy the user entries out of /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow and append them to those files on the new machine | 22:28 |
| yareckon | but redhat UIDs start at 500 while debian ones start at 1000, should I just add 500 to everyone's UID or should I leave them as is and hope that debian can cope with Users under the UID 1000 floor | 22:29 |
| yareckon | ? | 22:29 |
| yareckon | (hoping someone points me at a tool that does this all automagically) | 22:30 |
| yareckon | :) | 22:30 |
| J-_ | sudo fdisk -l doesn't show my external drive. | 22:31 |
| J-_ | Can I do something else to see if it's there? | 22:32 |
| hads | yareckon: It will cope with UIDs under 500 but some things expect UIDs to be over 1000 such as the face chooser at login etc. | 22:33 |
| yareckon | J- maybe watch messages to see if something changes when you plug/unplug? | 22:33 |
| yareckon | thanks hads, no one logs in with their faces on this box :) (it's a little workgroup samba server) | 22:34 |
| hads | I was using UIDs under 500 up until a short time ago when I changed them | 22:34 |
| yareckon | you just went into /etc/passwd /etc/shadow and /etc/groups and did it by hand or scripted something? | 22:34 |
| null_vector | Anyone have a link to a rough guide of remotely installing ubuntu/debian? I did it a few years ago with sarge but it's been a long time. | 22:35 |
| hads | yareckon: usermod -u will change a users UID and the files in their home dir but not files outside it. It also won't change their GID | 22:36 |
| yareckon | yeah, it's keeping the UID/GID accounting straight across all of those files x30 users that has me nervous doing that by hand | 22:37 |
| yareckon | usermod may help | 22:37 |
| hads | Also `find / -uid 500` | 22:40 |
| hads | That's what I finished mine off with. | 22:40 |
| yareckon | thanks for the help! | 22:42 |
| hads | No worries | 22:43 |
| yareckon | I think this is why server guys stick with one distro :) | 22:43 |
| J-_ | Here's a pastebin of "dmesg |grep -i usb" http://pastebin.ca/1085636 Does it look proper? | 22:43 |
| J-_ | I installed a PCI USB 2.0 card in my server. | 22:43 |
| yareckon | cause it sure isn't as slick as distro hopping on the desktop | 22:43 |
| Kohlra1 | problem with postfix, is there a known issue where it never installs properly or is there something i don't know about it? | 22:50 |
| Kohlra1 | nvm | 22:54 |
| Kohlra1 | some things just don't install right if you try to set certain values during install | 22:55 |
| sCOTTo | i think I just fouind my answer to ubuntu server using cPanel... | 23:24 |
| sCOTTo | ~~~ALIEN~~~ | 23:24 |
| sCOTTo | :D | 23:25 |
