[00:02] <philsf> if I update the lvm2 package, do I need to reboot (I'm using LVM volumes)?
[01:02] <jshock> anyone alive in here?
[01:07] <jshock> i'm looking for help with a maildir problem ubuntu server 8.10
[01:14] <pixelmonkey> I would like to switch an old server running Debian over to Ubuntu Server.  I think this is a somewhat significant migration, as it will involve configurations for e-mail, web, DNS, databases, etc., and obviously the versions of all this software will be different.  I was thinking about testing by setting up a local installation of Ubuntu Server under a VM and piecemeal migrating configuration from my Debian server until I get somethi
[01:14] <pixelmonkey> ng that matches and that I can use as a 'drop-in' replacement.  Has anyone ever done something like this?  Any tips?
[03:43] <fir3horn> I'm trying to set up awstats. I've gotten it all set up, but when I go to access it in my browser, it just has me download the file. I've got perl installed, so I'm at a loss.
[03:43] <fir3horn> What could be the cause of that issue?
[03:48] <ball> What URL are you using to access it?
[03:49] <fir3horn> I'm using the domain name. I've got it set up so if I go to /awstats/awstats.pl, it should bring it up.
[03:50] <ball> Have you told your httpd to interpret perl?
[03:50] <ball> (is there a Perl plug-in module for it?
[03:50] <ball> )
[03:51] <fir3horn> I'm unsure. I don't believe I have.
[03:52] <ball> Well, there you go then.
[03:52] <fir3horn> Thank you!
[03:52] <ball> Poor thing's not psychic
[03:53] <fir3horn> lol.
[04:01] <yaris123456789> hey guys i have created my own nameserver on my VPS using cpanel. i want to link www.mycooldomain.com to my new VPS server. what to do ?
[04:02] <ball> talk to your domain name provider
[04:02] <yaris123456789> well i have added the nameservers with registrar, still www.mycooldomain.com is pointing to the old server not the new VPS
[04:03] <ball> Where do your DNS records live?
[04:04] <yaris123456789> i dont know what does that mean
[04:06] <ball> yaris123456789: if you want to run your own name server, you need to find that out.
[04:06] <ball> ...or pay someone to look after it for you.  Perhaps both.
[04:06] <yaris123456789> i would pay
[04:06] <yaris123456789> right now
[04:06] <yaris123456789> if someone could move all of the stuff from my old server to the new
[04:06] <ball> okay, that's the quick way to do it then.
[04:07] <ball> Talk to the people who sold you your domain name.  They may be able to host your DNS records
[04:07] <ball> ...you probably won't need a name server on your VPS account.
[04:11] <yaris123456789> than which nameserver shall i sue
[04:11] <yaris123456789> uae
[04:11] <yaris123456789> use
[04:11] <yaris123456789> my host did not provide any nameservers
[04:11] <yaris123456789> it said i had to use my own
[04:12] <ball> You'll have to find another company to pay then... perhaps your ISP
[04:15] <yaris123456789> wait i dont think u get what i mean
[04:15] <yaris123456789> i have created a few nameservers, say ns1.mine.net, where mine.net is the domain name i own.
[04:15] <yaris123456789> now i want to link, www.somethingcool.com to my vps box, what to do ?
[04:16] <ball> yaris123456789: see above.
[04:27] <fbc> I try to renice -19 apache2 but when I run top it still shows a nice of 0.  how do I do it right?
[05:36] <Kevin_> Hi. Is anyone familiar with Apache mod_rewrite and permalinks in Wordpress??
[05:44] <Kevin_> Anyone??
[05:47] <ScottK> !weekend
[05:53] <Tim__Reichhart> can somebody tell me why I am getting the SSL :(Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate)
[05:58] <hads> Without some context probably not. Sounds like an expired certificate.
[05:59] <Tim__Reichhart> so how do I get it redued?
[06:01] <hads> Not a lot of idea what you're talking about. If you want to renew a certificate you need to talk to an issuer.
[06:18] <Tim__Reichhart> its on my server
[06:18] <Tim__Reichhart> and I was the one who setup the SSL
[08:52] <robinj> I'm  a noob at Cron and I've got a question. what is wrong with this line ->  http://dpaste.com/101198/ ?
[08:59] <jtaji> robinj: you are missing a field in the beginning, when do you want this to run?
[09:08] <robinj> every 15 minute or so
[09:09] <robinj> jtaji: sorry for answering so late, didn't see it until now
[09:09] <robinj> jtaji: what field am I missing?
[09:10] <jtaji> it's min hour dayofmonth month dayofweek
[09:10] <jtaji> for every 15 minutes you can use */15 * * * *
[09:11] <jtaji> */15 = 0,15,30,45
[09:11] <jtaji> for the the minute field anyway
[09:11] <robinj> jtaji: aha! what did this mean 1 * * * *?
[09:11] <jtaji> every minute
[09:11] <jtaji> err
[09:12] <robinj> aha
[09:12] <hads> 1 past every hour
[09:12] <jtaji> 1 minute after the hour, every hour, every day
[09:12] <robinj> aha, I see
[09:12] <robinj> problem is that it don't run at all
[09:13] <robinj> so that field I was missing in the beginning was the */ ?
[09:14] <jtaji> you were missing one of the time fields
[09:14] <jtaji> there are 5
[09:14] <robinj> aha :)
[09:14] <robinj> thank you!
[09:14] <jtaji> * * * * * is valid for every minute
[09:14] <jtaji> no prob
[09:14] <robinj> this has been bugigng me for far too long :)

[14:10] <j0nr> hello1
[14:14] <j0nr> hello all again...
[14:15] <j0nr> can anyone help me. I have a fresh install of 8.04 (maybe 8.10) server edition and it does not automatically connect to the network
[14:16] <j0nr> i have to go in and run sudo dhclient for it to work.
[14:16] <j0nr> this is a pain obviously as i want it to be a headless setup, but it also doesnt run 24hrs so i need to be able to just turn it on... then log in
[14:26] <j0nr> sorted! had to edit interfaces
[16:30] <sommer> zul: I've uploaded a working version of ebox and libebox to my ppa, can you take a look when you get a chance?

[16:30] <sommer> zul: thanks :)
[19:24] <zicada> ive got an issue with disk IO. The box only has a single disk (home fileserver). Problem is, when i play a video from it over samba, it will lag if the box does any heavy IO like file copy or unrar and such.
[19:24] <zicada> ive tried both the deadline and cfq schedualers
[19:25] <zicada> it also hosts some web apps that will lag horribly when local IO stuff like filecopy etc is high
[19:26] <zicada> anyone have any good tips on how to perhaps ionice or renice permanently ?
[19:27] <zicada> or any other sort of tuning that would sort this out
[19:27] <zicada> i really dont need unrar and cp/mv etc to be as fast as possible. Much nicer for apache and smb to run at higher pri
[19:54] <zicada> i mean, i can ionice -c3 -p$$ the shell i use to cp / unrar etc
[19:54] <zicada> but something more permanent would be nice (no pun intended :D )
[20:46] <Nafallo> ehrm...
[20:47] <Nafallo> does ufw clear the firewall in the packaging scripts on intrepid?
[20:47] <Nafallo> (not nat)
[20:49] <Nafallo> ARGH postrm
[23:23]  * Nafallo ponders giving up with ufw for this router :-P
[23:30] <Nafallo> ufw can't play with FORWARD, right?
