mindframetheres nothing that should prevent ubuntu from detecting a new memory module is there?00:56
mindframestupid managed hosting provider says they installed the extra module01:03
nephishanyone here using mysql replication?01:06
yann2mindframe > I once had a hosting provider sending me a mail that they shut down my server because I was sending spam (which was wrong, but the number of the server was correct) - and apologized 3 days later saying they turned my machine back on again. It never went down - some poor guy must have wondered what happened to his server01:10
yann2so I guess, you just made someone happy :)01:10
mindframeyann2, they definitely rebooted my server several times01:10
mindframetheyve rebooted mine on accident before01:10
jmarsden|workmindframe: If you boot with a kernel parameter such as   mem=512M   your kernel will only see 512M... so you can artificially restrict the RAM a Linux kernel sees... I can't think of how that would happen "accidentally" though.01:11
mindframeyeah i wouldnt have set that01:11
jmarsden|workWhat does     sudo lshw -short -c memory    output?  # sudo apt-get install lshw first if necessary01:13
mindframehahahah01:14
mindframethanks :)01:14
jmarsden|workNo problem.  Thought that might be the info you needed ;)01:15
mindframetheres 0/1c then 0/1c/0 1 and 2 ... /0/1c should list the total memory installed right?  /0/1c/0 should be a dimm slot?01:17
jmarsden|workThe numbers differen between boards,but yes.  My home dekstop shows: /0/19/0                        memory      2GiB DIMM 800 MHz (1.2 ns)01:19

Alex_21Hi, can anyone assist me in adding DNS a records to a DNS server, specifically Ubuntu Hardy with EBox and BIND9, please06:39
Alex_21Where is the BIND9 config file placed by default?07:16
Alex_21Please07:16
ballno idea.07:19
persiaAlex_21, Have you tried `dpkg -L bind9` ?07:22
Alex_21Ok, I figured it out. It is in /etc/bind/named.conf07:35
Alex_21Good night. Bani bash07:35

lazywalkerHello, can I subscribe the `what's new` of ubuntu apt source? mail or rss feed.08:06
persialazywalker, e.g. intrepid-changes?  ( https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Intrepid-changes )08:07
lazywalkerpersia: does  this mail list contains the changes of apt source?08:08
persialazywalker, Well, that and the related (hardy-changes, jaunty-changes, etc.) receive mail for each upload, which is not quite the same thing, but fairly similar.08:09
persiaOn the other hand, if you just want changes to the apt package itself, then I don't think there is such a subscription available.08:10
lazywalkerpersia: This one you provide just fine for me , Thanks a lot:)08:11

Achilleushello, I have installed squid, and redirected every  http: 80 request to 3128 the port of the proxy but I get the following page, however, if I use proxy in my browser I get pages normally.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/96877/13:11
gclericAchilleus:  are you trying to setup a transparent proxy?13:14
Achilleusgcleric, yes exactly13:14
gclerichave you see http://kuscsik.blogspot.com/2008/01/transparent-proxy-with-squid-3-on.html13:14
Achilleusgcleric, thank you very much13:15
Achilleusgcleric, it worked thanks13:27
hedinwhen i try to see the statistics on a device that in smokeping (http and dns probes), i get the following error... ERROR: Section 'senta' does not exist (display webpage). when i wanna se some details about the "location" senta.... any ideas how to fix it?13:27
etronikwhere is Perl's  CPAN configuration stored ?14:13
ProfFalkenetronik: AFAIK, it's usually user dependent and stored in ~/.cpan - others will probably correct me on this one!14:29
etronikthanks, I looked in there but... a whole ton of files...14:34
ProfFalkenetronik: ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm14:55
ProfFalkendo you need to re-run the setup?14:56
* ProfFalken rephrases the question so it makes more sense...14:56
etronikywah I think so...14:57
ProfFalkenetronik: what are you trying to achieve? Have you already configured CPAN, or do you need to configure it from scratch?14:57
etronikProfFalken: I want to install bugzilla and I in the process of getting the perl modules... right ? but...14:58
etronikthe /usr/bin/perl install-module.pl --all   fails with make related errors14:58
etronikre14:59
* ProfFalken doesn't use CPAN much (he doesn't code much perl) and has never had to reconfigure it15:00
ProfFalkenetronik: a quick google has revealed that to reconfigure CPAN, you can type the following:15:01
bitsbamanyone here using master-master MySQL data replication?15:01
etronikhmm quick google ? hadn't thought of that, what search terms you used ?15:01
ProfFalkenetronik: perl -e shell -MCPAN15:02
ProfFalkenetronik: o conf ini15:02
ProfFalkenetronik: "reconfigure CPAN" - came up with the following:15:02
etronikshould I run that with sudo ?15:02
ProfFalkenetronik: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-reconfigure-cpan-314795/15:02
ProfFalkenetronik: ah, do you need to set this system-wide?15:03
ProfFalkenif so, I'd do it as root, but others would know more about this than me15:03
etronikok15:03
etronikthanks for the link - usefull15:04
ProfFalkenbitsbam: I've used it recently, but not at the moment, what's up?15:04
ProfFalkenetronik: no probs.15:04
bitsbamtrying to weigh out the pros, cons15:04
bitsbami have a database that is live, 7 GB and we need to set up a backup computer that is a little hotter than what mysqldump can do for us15:05
bitsbamnot to mention dumping the bigger tables takes long enough to be a problem15:05
ProfFalkenbitsbam: master-master would do it, do you need updates to be applied to the backup computer at the same time as the master?15:05
bitsbamand the backup server is going to be located in a different Geographical location15:05
bitsbamProfFalken, well preferably15:06
bitsbamwe need to be able to kick off the backup server incase the main one  dies15:06
bitsbamWe are in the dead center of Tornado Alley15:06
ProfFalkenbitsbam: ok, master-master is relatively easy, you setup the 1st server to be the slave of the second and the second to be the slave of the first (if that makes sense?)15:06
ProfFalkenbitsbam: !! :o)15:06
bitsbammakes sense15:07
bitsbamso any change to either will propagate to the other?15:07
bitsbamIs it pretty risky to do?15:07
ProfFalkenbitsbam: that's correct.  If you set the correct flags in /etc/mysql/my.cnf then you'll be able to avoid duplicate IDs etc.15:08
bitsbamoh, splendid15:08
ProfFalkenbitsbam: http://capttofu.livejournal.com/1752.html is a good place to start.15:08
ProfFalkenbitsbam: I've sucessfully used this as the backend to a LAMP stack running on top of Linux-HA servers with two load balancers in front of it and Joomla suddenly became cluster aware! :o)15:10
* ProfFalken loves linux...15:10
bitsbamGreat link, ProfFalken, thanks15:10
ProfFalkenbitsbam: np.15:10
ProfFalkenbitsbam: and good luck... :o)15:10
bitsbamthanks, you may be hearing from me again :)15:10
etronikProfFalken: the lisk yout sent mentions /use/lib/perl5/%.x.x/CPAN but I have both /usr/lib/perl and /use/lib/perl5 and none have a CPAN directory..weird... any ideias ?15:14
etronikI have in my system both a perl command and perl5.8.8 - should I have both? is one of them a link or virtual command pointing to another ?15:20
ProfFalkenetronik: and that's where my knowledge of CPAN/Perl runs thin on the ground - you'll need to check with someone else on this one, have you #ubuntu-uk?15:21
etronikah ok, thanks anyway, you already helped anyhow :)  re #ubuntu-uk ? you mean  try asking there ?15:22
ProfFalkenetronik: yup - there's a few perl wizards in there I think, failing that, check the CPAN docs or google for your local perl-mongers group.15:23
ProfFalkenbbl...15:24
etronikwill do thanks ProfFalken15:25
etronikProfFalken: for your reference (future help :-) the CPAN config file in in /etc/perl/CPAN  !! :-)15:40
* Gargoyle waves16:06
bitsbamIf i set up replication on my two MySQL databases, then i shut one down and move it to another location that will not be on the LAN, will this cause a great problem?16:11
etronikbesides replication probably stopping to work ?16:12
bitsbametronik, is that pretty likely?16:23
bitsbamwould hate to have to copy the database over the net to the backup server again, i mean, good grief16:23
etronikwhy not maintain that copy/replice on the LAN, and make an off-line copy from that replica ??16:26
etronikI mean, having replication into a offline site wil be less performant, and less performant means more costly some way or another16:27
etronikconsider having your production copy and a replica both online on the LAN and with high performance and availability, then making an offline copy from the replica with less stringent timming requirements16:28
etroniklke a thee-way replication16:28
etronikguys, how do I check (coomand line) if I have sendmail or postfix installed ?16:30
random00How do you change a computers name via the command line?16:32

ray_tru`Is there a tool to monitor disk access in ubuntu ?17:17
yann2iostat i think?17:17
ray_tru`thx17:18
ProfFalkenetronik: thanks, I'll file that away for future reference... :o)17:28
etronikhow do I find out the group that Apache process belogs to ?17:28
etronikbelongs...17:28
ProfFalkenbitsbam: if you setup replication to work on DNS or similar (i.e. names, not ip addresses) then you shouldn't have an issue as long as you update your DNS entries...17:30
ProfFalkenbitsbam: I'd test it first though... :o)17:30
bitsbamok cool.17:30
bitsbamam going to give it a try.17:31
peppe__salve a tutti17:31
peppe__avrei un problea con vlc e streaming su http17:32
bitsbamif a slave ( or master if master master rep) is down for a couple of hours, can the master catch it back up? or would that be a hard fail?17:32
peppe__quando apro vlc ed inserisco l'ip (http://127.0.0.1:1234) nella sezione "apri sorgente di rete" non parte lo stream17:32
ProfFalkenetronik: check out the apache config file, it should be set in there somewhere (!).  If you're running Ubuntu (which I presume you are given the name of this channel!) then its probably www-data17:34
ProfFalkenbitsbam: Never tried outage of hours in length, but in theory yes, they should still replicate.  I'd check the mysql docs on replication to confirm this though as I've never had to do it.17:35
bitsbamok17:35
bitsbamthanks17:36
etronikProfFalken: confirmed, I used top and forced apache to work and appear at the top of the list... colvoluted way to find that out huh?17:41
oneseventeenI've got a chrooted ssh enviornment set up, but I can see files no matter who I am signed in as18:07
oneseventeenI'm assuming I messed up my umask?18:07
peppe__ita?18:26
pteague_workanybody know what version of debian ubuntu's hardy relates to? i'm trying to utilize dotdeb to update my hardy server's php version to at least 5.2.4 & only 5.2.3 seems to be in the hardy repos... & dotdeb doesn't seem to have ubuntu release names18:26
oneseventeento be clear, a umask of 077 would mean only the creator of a file could see it or mess with it, right?18:28
ProfFalkenpteague_work: cat /etc/debian_version on your Hardy box. IIRC it spits out testing/VERSION.  If it doesn't, then Etch is coming up to being 18 months old, Sarge is older than that and Lenny is newer.18:30
pteague_workoh crap, nm...  seems this is worse than i thought... the server is still running gutsy >.>18:30
ProfFalkenpteague_work: Etch (installed on a number of servers here) has 5.2.0 as the latest version of PHP5, so I suggest that Lenny/Testing is the repo you are after.18:32
oneseventeenok, weird... I am SSH'd into my server as user2 and looking at a file owned by user1 with permissions 60018:32
oneseventeenshouldn't that file be invisible to me, since I don't have read permissions?18:32
oneseventeennevermind, just realized I can't retrieve it, just see the filename18:33
pteague_workdotdeb has debs compiled for latest releases from apache, mysql, & php... so they have 5.2.818:33
* ProfFalken runs off to look at .deb18:33
pteague_workoneseventeen: directory would have to be not readable for you to not see any filenames18:34
oneseventeenpteague_work: thanks!  I'll change folder perms real quick and check again18:34
oneseventeenpteague_work: thanks, worked liek a champ!  much more secure chrooted sftp server now :)18:39
pteague_workhmm...  ok, went out to check on dotdeb, my sources.d.list file is set up right & `aptitude update` download the info... but it seems to be preferring ubuntu packages over dotdeb so i'm not seeing the newer versions :(18:41
ProfFalkenpteague_work: you may need to set a priority for dotdeb in /etc/apt/preferences to force dotdeb to be the default.  Can't remember the syntax off-hand, but google will know! :o)18:45
ProfFalkenpteague_work: it's called package pinning IIRC18:47
bitsbami have a directory that i used scp to get from another computer, it will not let me change it's ownership.18:57
