| wobbiebobbie | hi room | 00:51 |
| wobbiebobbie | will a dell dimension 5150 dual core 145gig harddrive make a good server | 00:51 |
| owh | For what? | 00:53 |
| wobbiebobbie | I want to make a server for my family who are out of state to access for picture sharing | 00:57 |
| wobbiebobbie | this 10meg email limit is killing me | 00:58 |
| owh | How much RAM for this beast? | 00:58 |
| wobbiebobbie | well it can hold 4gigs | 00:59 |
| wobbiebobbie | I was going to put 2 500gig hard drives in it | 00:59 |
| kgoetz | i think what you need is a p2 433, with 256mb of ram, and adsl2 or greater | 00:59 |
| wobbiebobbie | is that all | 01:00 |
| wobbiebobbie | will that hold ubuntu server | 01:00 |
| kgoetz | bump it to a 667 with 512mb of ram if your hosting images+thumbnails in a website | 01:00 |
| wobbiebobbie | and run it | 01:00 |
| owh | wobbiebobbie: So can I, but seriously, you need to think about what use it's going to be put to. If you're going to run 17 zillion web-apps, then you need a big machine, but if it's going to be doing bugger all, then it can be the size kgoetz suggests. | 01:00 |
| wobbiebobbie | I just like to set it up to share pictures and file with my family though a FTP | 01:01 |
| kgoetz | let ftp die. use some other protocol | 01:02 |
| wobbiebobbie | like what I dont know | 01:02 |
| wobbiebobbie | I have ubuntu gusty but have not used ubuntu server | 01:03 |
| kgoetz | http at a pinch, ssh if posible, | 01:03 |
| kgoetz | http wouldnt be such a bad idea, imho. | 01:03 |
| wobbiebobbie | is there a how to for ubuntu server | 01:04 |
| kgoetz | theres a server guide on help.ubuntu.com | 01:04 |
| wobbiebobbie | thanks I will check it out | 01:05 |
| wobbiebobbie | heck I was going to buy a server from dell thanks guys | 01:05 |
| kgoetz | heh. np. feel free to ask if you need a hand (afer checking th docs :P) | 01:06 |
| wobbiebobbie | ok thanks | 01:06 |
| owh | kgoetz: You know we're going to get more questions about setting up a server to share photos with the family don't you :) | 01:08 |
| kgoetz | owh: how hard can it be? intall ubuntu server -> use lamp task -> log in to server -> mkdir public_html -> photos in public_html -> ??? -> profit | 01:08 |
| owh | ROTFL | 01:09 |
| owh | kgoetz: So how's sunny ADE? | 01:09 |
| * owh hasn't opened the curtains here yet. | 01:09 | |
| kgoetz | owh: sunny, for two days in a row | 01:09 |
| owh | Whoa, there's sun here too! | 01:09 |
| kgoetz | :O | 01:09 |
| kgoetz | quick, hide before it sees you! | 01:09 |
| * owh blinks in the bright light. | 01:10 | |
| * kgoetz is at work battling php/mediawiki/ldap (and all that it entails) | 01:11 | |
| owh | Oooh, let me know what you think about mediawiki when you're done. I'm looking at using it for a project or six. | 01:12 |
| kgoetz | making it use htauth is easy (then use apache to backend to ldap), but using mediawikis ldap plugins ... not so easy. i expect today is a day of doco reading and code poking for me | 01:12 |
| kgoetz | other then the php thing, i quite like mediawiki | 01:13 |
| owh | kgoetz: I've been playing with PHP for longer than I care to admit. I think it was still called FI, or some-such, PHP2. | 01:20 |
| kgoetz | hehe | 01:20 |
| docta_v | if i add a new SATA device to a live system is there a way I can make the kernel/driver rescan the bus? | 02:05 |
| owh | docta_v: Under dapper I played with rescan_scsi_bus or some such script, but it was never very successful. | 02:43 |
| docta_v | owh: cool.. i don't think it's going to work on this system | 02:50 |
| docta_v | in dmesg it says it shutdown the port | 02:51 |
| docta_v | i'm emailing the devs and telling them to get off the box tomorrow at lunch so i can take it down | 02:51 |
| owh | docta_v: Really it should be plug and detect and I've been stumped on how to achieve that. | 02:59 |
| docta_v | owh: well you need the right controller in addition to the right kernel, etc. | 03:11 |
| docta_v | my controller is silicon images | 03:11 |
| docta_v | and all of their hardware is garbage so i'm assuming that's why it doesn't work | 03:12 |
| owh | :) | 03:12 |
| docta_v | i think you can do scsiadd -s | 03:14 |
| docta_v | provided your controller handles the hot-plug | 03:14 |
| owh | docta_v: I recall that command, but not the outcome, other than that it didn't work at the time. Something to do with a timeout IIRC, but that might be a reflection on poor hardware as you already commented on. | 03:33 |

| elnewb | Even though this is a more general ubuntu question. How do I get the "add packages" button into the Applications menu after I installed gnome on ubuntu server? | 10:11 |

| moldy | hi | 10:36 |
| moldy | how do i use rsnapshot on ubuntu? i need a workaround for that .gvfs fuse crap :( | 10:39 |
| moldy | using "exclude" in rsnapshot.conf does not work -- rsync still readlink()s the stuff and errors... | 10:39 |
| moldy | ... so you are basically forced to ignore all errors. crap crap crap. | 10:44 |
| jimcooncat | moldy: that's sad to hear. I use it on an older system, and will be upgrading to hardy soon | 10:45 |
| moldy | then you're in for some trouble | 10:46 |
| moldy | i now found out: using "exclude .gvfs" rather than "exclude .gvfs/" works around the problem | 10:46 |
| jimcooncat | can you just turn off gvfs? | 10:46 |
| moldy | not easily, afaik | 10:46 |
| moldy | root not being allowed to read stuff ist just plain idiotic... | 10:47 |
| moldy | what are the fuse guys thinking... | 10:47 |
| jimcooncat | fuse guys or nautilus guys? | 10:47 |
| moldy | afaik, it's a fuse thing | 10:47 |
| moldy | fuse mounts are only readable by the owner, not by root. idiotic. | 10:47 |
| jimcooncat | To lift this restriction for all users or for just root, mount the filesystem with the "-oallow_other" or "-oallow_root" mount option, respectively. Non-root users can only use these mount options if "user_allow_other" is specified in /etc/fuse.conf. | 10:51 |
| jimcooncat | moldy: found above on fuse wiki. But I only understand half of it | 10:51 |
| moldy | jimcooncat: hm, i think i understand it | 10:53 |
| moldy | what i don't know is where/how gnome issues the mount command | 10:53 |
| moldy | and where you can manipulate it to include -oallow_root | 10:53 |
| moldy | there also is a bug in the ubuntu bts about this | 10:54 |
| jimcooncat | moldy: maybe you could manually mount it? | 10:54 |
| moldy | it's somehow magically mounted upon login or something like that | 10:54 |
| moldy | using "exclude .gvfs" is the best workaround i found so far | 10:55 |
| === mdz_ is now known as mdz | ||
| moldy | i can see why the fuse guys are doing this for *some* cases (remote mounts) | 11:01 |
| moldy | but in the usual case it's just idiotic... the default should be changed | 11:01 |

| mdz | zul: are you asking for my dovecot.conf and sieve.conf because you believe they are necessary to diagnose the bug, or just as a matter of course? | 14:41 |
| mdz | zul: because I think I understand the problem already and it has nothing to do with my configuration | 14:42 |
| zul | mdz: thinking about it now just the sieve.conf | 14:42 |
| siretart | kirkland: :-) | 14:44 |
| kirkland | siretart: i'm reviewing it now | 14:44 |
| mdz | zul: you can reproduce it with a one-line sieve.conf as follows: | 14:45 |
| mdz | zul: if header :contains "Subject" "blahblahblah" { discard; } | 14:45 |
| siretart | kirkland: in case it's useful for you, you might want to checkout the bzr branch on launchpad. it has the debian source imported in its history, so you can compare files against the version in debian like you can see in the paste | 14:45 |

| kirkland | siretart: I'm inclined to agree with ceg, though, that cryptroot should be able use the failurehooks like we recently did for md | 14:58 |
| kirkland | siretart: the panic -r call is what starts the failure hooks | 15:00 |
| siretart | kirkland: I'm not familiar at all with the failurehooks. Unless you can point me to documentation how it is supposed to work, could you perhaps give the cryptroot hook a shot to make it work gracefully with the failurehooks? | 15:04 |
| kirkland | siretart: that's what I'm looking at now ;-) | 15:04 |
| siretart | :-) | 15:06 |
| kirkland | siretart: for documentation, see the comment in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions:try_failure_hooks() | 15:06 |
| kirkland | siretart: (assuming you're on an up-to-date Intrepid system) | 15:07 |
| kirkland | siretart: otherwise, initramfs-tools-0.92bubuntu10/scripts/functions | 15:07 |
| siretart | aah, I see | 15:08 |
| kirkland | siretart: so you'd put some magic in /tmp/mountroot-fail-hooks.d/cryptroot | 15:08 |
| w8tah | where is the doc that tells me how to upgrade from 6.04lts to hardy lts? | 15:09 |
| w8tah | for server -- i cant seem to put my keys on it today | 15:10 |
| kirkland | siretart: okay, and for your example, apt-get source mdadm; vi mdadm-2.6.7/debian/initramfs/init-premount | 15:15 |
| kirkland | siretart: you'll see at the bottom of that script it "installs itself" with add_mountroot_fail_hook "10-mdadm" | 15:15 |
| kirkland | siretart: and note that it exits "0" when it thinks that it has done some good, "1" otherwise | 15:16 |
| ScottK | lamont: I see in debian/changelog you added my filter/policy server scripts to postfix, but I don't actually find them when I inspect the .deb? | 15:43 |

| lamont | heh. OTOH, I guess I should deliver manpages, too. :-( | 15:47 |
| lamont | in section 8, not 1 | 15:47 |
| siretart | kirkland: I don't know if I'll have time to test and implement the failure hooks myself for cryptsetup. if you have some spare time, I'd really appreciate it if you would do it | 16:19 |
| kirkland | siretart: I'll see what I can do...... | 16:19 |
| kirkland | siretart: can you detail how to reproduce the failure case? | 16:19 |
| kirkland | siretart: such that I can test the work I would theoretically do for you? | 16:19 |
| siretart | kirkland: AFAIUI boot from root on usb would trigger it. I never experienced that personally yet. | 16:22 |
| kirkland | siretart: boot from crypted root on usb, you mean? | 16:24 |
| siretart | yes | 16:25 |
| kirkland | siretart: you think usb flash disk is sufficient? | 16:27 |
| kirkland | siretart: i have a few of those lying around ;-) | 16:27 |
| siretart | kirkland: if it has an on board ide/sata controller, then probably not. a normal usb stick should do it however | 16:28 |
| siretart | kirkland: a really slow scsi control should trigger it as well, though | 16:28 |
| siretart | the point of the excercise is to have a really slow controller for the root device | 16:28 |
| kirkland | siretart: sorry, yeah, i mean normal usb stick | 16:28 |
| siretart | yes, something like that should trigger it. it depends a bit on the usb controller, but usually, they take a loooooong time to initialize | 16:30 |

| soren | In the installer, for each partition you want to mirror, you create a partition on each disk. | 17:18 |
| soren | You mark this as a "raid member". | 17:18 |
| soren | Once you've done that you choose to "configure software raid". | 17:18 |
| soren | In there, you create the raid devices and add your filesystems to that. | 17:18 |
| soren | That's about it. | 17:18 |

| jdstrand | (probably the latter) | 20:58 |
| didrocks | ok, so, for the moment, I will try to retablish this | 20:59 |
| jdstrand | didrocks: you are working off the bzr branch, correct? | 20:59 |
| didrocks | I am adding some tests (I will have to stop because of giving a talk in -classroom), but I will keep you in touch | 20:59 |
| didrocks | for the tests? I am working in my branch, why? | 20:59 |
| jdstrand | didrocks: I was just trying to figure out if it was 'bzr export' or not | 21:00 |
| jdstrand | I'll look into it | 21:00 |
| didrocks | ok, I will keep every changes in a dedicated place | 21:01 |
| ScottK | mathiaz: Are you tracking updates to the Server seed or is that assigned to someone else? | 21:30 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: hey, are you around? | 21:48 |
| === Laleh__ is now known as Laleh | ||
| mathiaz | ScottK: I don't know of anyone assigned to track seed updates for the server team - any core-dev can change the seeds AFAICT. | 23:04 |
| mathiaz | kirkland: yop :) | 23:04 |
| kirkland | mathiaz: no worries, i think kees answered my questions, thx! | 23:05 |
