greggmanIn K-Network MAnager Icon I found out that my box uses eth2..How could I change it to eth0?05:57
ScottKgreggman: Why do you care?  What problem are you trying to solve?05:58
greggmanScottK, since I'm using the box for wifi gator..so I need it to change to eth005:58
greggmanScottK, how would I change it? any idea?06:01
ScottKWhat I would do is run grep -r eth2 * in /etc and see where that's used.  Carefully consider making changes.  It'll be quite easy to end up with no networking at all.  Also figure out what's using eth0 now.06:02
* ScottK is off to bed.06:07

mathiaznijaba: is there a reason why the default suite selected in vmbuilder is hardy?18:10
mathiaznijaba: I'd expect it to be intrepid for the version in intrepid18:10
nijabamathiaz: hmm, good question.  not that I know of.  Maybe soren preferred to do an LTS by default?18:12
nijabamathiaz: if you feel it should be changed, I can do that in a snap18:12
mathiaznijaba: well - I think it makes sense to install intrepid by default for intrepid18:13
nijabamathiaz: allright, on my way18:14
mathiaznijaba: it's a change in the distro plugin18:14
nijabamathiaz: I know, in the set_defaults18:14
nijabamathiaz: actually in register_settings18:15
mathiaznijaba: group.add_option('--suite', default='hardy',18:16

IanFHoodhow do I install and/or enable SSL in hardy (or python maybe?)  I'm getting 'unknown url type: https' errors in zope/plone18:33
mathiaznijaba: hmmm. not good. The image created by vmbuilder with an intrepid suite doesn't boot18:36
mathiaznijaba: it seems that the kernel is not found at boot.18:36
mathiaznijaba: a hardy image works though.18:37
nijabamathiaz: hmmm... doing the test....18:39
nijabamathiaz: I'll work on this after returning from dinner.18:43

mjeansonAnyone using "dfree command" in Samba config under hardy to change the reporting of free space?20:04
mathiaznijaba: it may be related to the grub changes outlined in this email: http://www.nabble.com/GRUB-now-supports-specifying-the-root-by-UUID.-Please-help-test.-td19987017.html20:06
acemowith proftpd, is it possible to instead of using the user as owner let files they upload be owned by www-data?20:07
nijabamathiaz: yep, looks like there is now an additional uuid line that we do not update.  easy fix.  Thanks for the pointer20:10
nijabamathiaz: fix done, now testing.  Have you opened a bug?20:16
mathiaznijaba: nope20:16
nijabamathiaz: np, I'll do it20:16
mathiaznijaba: why?20:16
nijabamathiaz: just for tracking purposes, thought it would be a good idea, am I wrong?20:16
mathiaznijaba: well - IMO it's just unecessary overhead20:17
mathiaznijaba: we're not tracking *every* bug we fix in LP20:17
nijabamathiaz: ok, I'll skip that then20:17
mathiaznijaba: as long as the change/fix is documented in the changelog entry that's ok IMO20:17
nijabamathiaz: fine, you are way ahead of me on this type of process20:18
mathiaznijaba: so instead of filing a bug report for a bug you've just fixed, you could work on figuring out why dest isn't support in the configuration file :D20:19

J_Ppeople, why this "01 00   * * *   root    /etc/scripts/clock/shour.sh" not works  in crontab? If I execute in shell /etc/scripts/clock/shour.sh works. why ?20:40
greenflyJ_P: did you wait until one minute after midnight?20:42
J_Pgreenfly: sure!20:42
J_PI wait 10 minutes20:42
J_Pand nothing :-(20:43
greenflyand you intend this script to run only once per day at 00:01 ?20:43
greenflyalso, did you get any interesting error messages sent to your root email account, or alternatively, anything intersting in /var/log/ ?20:44
J_Pgreenfly: ahh sorry, what is woring.. I need that that run each minute..20:44
greenflyyou want that script to run every minute?20:45
J_Pgreenfly: yes20:46
greenflythen you need the line to read:20:46
greenfly* *   * * *    root    /etc/scripts/clock/shour.sh20:46
greenflythe way your cron entry was set up, the script would only run once a day at 00:0120:46
greenflyif it still doesn't work, make sure that /etc/scripts/clock/shour.sh is executable20:47
J_Pok, I will change that20:47
nijabamathiaz: my grub fix did not work.  It seems that update-grub pushes a modifcation later on.  As I did not write this part, it may take a while for me to understand the full process...20:53
mathiaznijaba: you may wanna ask kirkland for some helkp20:54
mathiaznijaba: he worked on grub-install lately20:54
nijabamathiaz: I think I should leave kirkland alone for a bit, as he is knee deep in ecryptfs20:55

nijabakirkland: that's a very good news20:55
kirklandnijaba: post your questions here and i'll answer when i can20:55
mathiaznijaba: well - of all the bug I've found this is probably the most important20:55

nijabakirkland: sure.  I'll try to move forward in the mean time.20:56
nijabamathiaz: agreed.  simple work around would be for me to update the menu.lst at the very end, but I am unsure this would be proper.20:58
mathiaznijaba: does the partition plugin/code generate UUID?20:58
mathiaznijaba: I mean generate a UUID for the block devices that are created?20:59
nijabamathiaz: nope.  we set groot as (hd0,0) but it is modified by ??? later on in the process, and this is what I am trying to figure out20:59

mathiaznijaba: what was the issue with intrepid?21:26
nijabamathiaz: we were setting groot (hd0,0) but update-grub was trying to be smart and was trying to guess the UUID from a loop device.  a mess21:27
nijabamathiaz: fix pushed to trunk if you want to look21:28
* mathiaz pulls21:28
* nijaba take a brief pause before looking at error 221:28
mathiaznijaba: could you be more explicit in your changelog entries?21:31
mathiaznijaba: intrepid guest now boot -> explain why that has been done (mention UUID)21:31
nijabamathiaz: oui prof21:35

madyogiHi guys. Can anyone help me out with an Ubuntu-Server 8.04 installation? It's about aptitude/apt-get. I've managed to install a minimal system and try to update the backages. I am getting Segfault when procps installs and dpkg exits with exit status 139 and the package remains unconfigured...21:38
mathiaznijaba: but this may be a bug in grub though.21:38
mathiaznijaba: it seems that update-grub doesn't handle loopback device correctly.21:38
nijabamathiaz: well, would grub be tested for loopback device?21:39
mathiaznijaba: apparently not21:39
mathiaznijaba: I don't actually know21:39
nijabamathiaz: I certainly would not expect it to21:39
mathiaznijaba: well - here is a valid use case21:40
mathiaznijaba: so this may need to be fixed in grub21:40
mathiaznijaba: I'm sure kirkland would love to investigate that issue21:40
nijabamathiaz: once he is done fixing other urgent issues, I am sure he would21:41
nijabaon with your error #2 now21:42
mathiaznijaba: great - intrepid boots now :D21:44
nijabamathiaz: glad you can confirm it :)21:44
* nijaba grumbles: his cache did not include dapper, so I am downloading every package....21:46
madyogiI am getting Segfault, when I try to configure some allready installed packages with dpkg on a fresh install of the ubuntu-server 8.04. It concerns random packages like procps and screen. These packages just stay unconfigured... Does anyone have some Ideas about this?21:55
madyoginow also apache won't install because of segfaults on the configure stage. Another packages are installed without problems.21:56
madyogiI have googled about that problem, but nobody seem to have a solution and all forums questions are unsolved :-(21:57
mathiaznijaba: I don't understant what is the FS image setup22:04
mathiaznijaba: when is that used?22:04
nijabamathiaz: for Xen22:04
nijabamathiaz: xen wants one file per partition, not per disk....  really weird stuff22:04
nijabamadyogi: what I do not understand is that procps being part of the ubuntu-minimal seed, you should not have to install it afterward.  How did you install your "minimal" system?22:10
madyoginijaba: yes, I've installed my system twice allready. Becaus first time I thought, that it's just some installation bug22:13
madyoginijaba: and procps was installed and configured from the begonning22:13
madyoginijaba: when I tried to uptade-upgrade the packages, procps configuration threw a segfault22:14
mathiazmadyogi: if you get random segfault you may wanna check your memory22:14
madyoginijaba: then I tried to degrade the package back and I've had the same result22:14
madyogimathiaz: ok. I'll try it right away...22:15
madyogimathiaz: but the packages I am getting segfault are always the same.22:15
nijabamathiaz: solved one pb for dapper, but there seem to be another one22:16
nijabamathiaz: did you test edgy?22:20
madyogiyes22:23
madyogimathiaz: oh. no, sorry. I've tested etch22:24
madyogibut that's not ubuntu...22:24
madyogi:-)22:24
mathiaznijaba: nope - edgy is not longer supported22:26
mathiaznijaba: I haven't tested feisty either22:27
mathiaznijaba: as it won't be supported when intrepid is released :)22:27
madyogiah. I've forgot the main part I suppose. This ubuntu is running on a Xen as domU22:27
madyogiand dom0 is debian etch22:27
madyogiand now while I've started to test memory ssh threw me out. Have to talk to our sysadmin tomorrow I think :-) I can't get it back any more...22:28
