[00:56] <mindframe> theres nothing that should prevent ubuntu from detecting a new memory module is there?
[01:03] <mindframe> stupid managed hosting provider says they installed the extra module
[01:06] <nephish> anyone here using mysql replication?
[01:10] <yann2> mindframe > 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 server
[01:10] <yann2> so I guess, you just made someone happy :)
[01:10] <mindframe> yann2, they definitely rebooted my server several times
[01:10] <mindframe> theyve rebooted mine on accident before
[01:11] <jmarsden|work> mindframe: 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] <mindframe> yeah i wouldnt have set that
[01:13] <jmarsden|work> What does     sudo lshw -short -c memory    output?  # sudo apt-get install lshw first if necessary
[01:14] <mindframe> hahahah
[01:14] <mindframe> thanks :)
[01:15] <jmarsden|work> No problem.  Thought that might be the info you needed ;)
[01:17] <mindframe> theres 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?
[01:19] <jmarsden|work> The numbers differen between boards,but yes.  My home dekstop shows: /0/19/0                        memory      2GiB DIMM 800 MHz (1.2 ns)
[01:19] <mindframe> boneheads in the data center
[03:36] <shingen> having an issue with initramfs not detecting my fakeraid, but while in the initramfs busybox session, I can run dmraid -ay just fine... so I was wondering if anyone knew which script to add dmraid -ay to so that my fakeraid will boot?
[06:39] <Alex_21> Hi, can anyone assist me in adding DNS a records to a DNS server, specifically Ubuntu Hardy with EBox and BIND9, please
[07:16] <Alex_21> Where is the BIND9 config file placed by default?
[07:16] <Alex_21> Please
[07:19] <ball> no idea.
[07:22] <persia> Alex_21, Have you tried `dpkg -L bind9` ?
[07:35] <Alex_21> Ok, I figured it out. It is in /etc/bind/named.conf
[07:35] <Alex_21> Good night. Bani bash

[08:06] <lazywalker> Hello, can I subscribe the `what's new` of ubuntu apt source? mail or rss feed.
[08:07] <persia> lazywalker, e.g. intrepid-changes?  ( https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Intrepid-changes )
[08:08] <lazywalker> persia: does  this mail list contains the changes of apt source?
[08:09] <persia> lazywalker, 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.
[08:10] <persia> On the other hand, if you just want changes to the apt package itself, then I don't think there is such a subscription available.
[08:11] <lazywalker> persia: This one you provide just fine for me , Thanks a lot:)
[09:12] <Alex_21> I added a domain to bind in EBox, but I can't find the file that contains the data for that domain. Where could it be?
[09:13] <Alex_21> I added a domain to bind in EBox, but I can't find the file that contains the data for that domain. Where could it be?

[09:51] <erichammond> Alex_21: /etc/bind/ ?
[09:57] <Alex_21> Not in /etc/bind/
[10:07] <Alex_21> Not in /var/lib/bind/ either
[10:08] <Alex_21> Or in /var/cache/bind either
[10:08] <Deeps> look in /etc/bind at the named.conf[.local]
[10:08] <Deeps> should tell you in there where the zone files are stored

[12:39] <gcleric> Gargoyle: aloha!
[13:11] <Achilleus> hello, 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/
[13:14] <gcleric> Achilleus:  are you trying to setup a transparent proxy?
[13:14] <Achilleus> gcleric, yes exactly
[13:14] <gcleric> have you see http://kuscsik.blogspot.com/2008/01/transparent-proxy-with-squid-3-on.html
[13:15] <Achilleus> gcleric, thank you very much
[13:27] <Achilleus> gcleric, it worked thanks
[13:27] <hedin> when 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?
[14:13] <etronik> where is Perl's  CPAN configuration stored ?
[14:29] <ProfFalken> etronik: AFAIK, it's usually user dependent and stored in ~/.cpan - others will probably correct me on this one!
[14:34] <etronik> thanks, I looked in there but... a whole ton of files...
[14:55] <ProfFalken> etronik: ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm
[14:56] <ProfFalken> do you need to re-run the setup?
[14:56]  * ProfFalken rephrases the question so it makes more sense...
[14:57] <etronik> ywah I think so...
[14:57] <ProfFalken> etronik: what are you trying to achieve? Have you already configured CPAN, or do you need to configure it from scratch?
[14:58] <etronik> ProfFalken: I want to install bugzilla and I in the process of getting the perl modules... right ? but...
[14:58] <etronik> the /usr/bin/perl install-module.pl --all   fails with make related errors
[14:59] <etronik> re
[15:00]  * ProfFalken doesn't use CPAN much (he doesn't code much perl) and has never had to reconfigure it
[15:01] <ProfFalken> etronik: a quick google has revealed that to reconfigure CPAN, you can type the following:
[15:01] <bitsbam> anyone here using master-master MySQL data replication?
[15:01] <etronik> hmm quick google ? hadn't thought of that, what search terms you used ?
[15:02] <ProfFalken> etronik: perl -e shell -MCPAN
[15:02] <ProfFalken> etronik: o conf ini
[15:02] <ProfFalken> etronik: "reconfigure CPAN" - came up with the following:
[15:02] <etronik> should I run that with sudo ?
[15:02] <ProfFalken> etronik: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-reconfigure-cpan-314795/
[15:03] <ProfFalken> etronik: ah, do you need to set this system-wide?
[15:03] <ProfFalken> if so, I'd do it as root, but others would know more about this than me
[15:03] <etronik> ok
[15:04] <etronik> thanks for the link - usefull
[15:04] <ProfFalken> bitsbam: I've used it recently, but not at the moment, what's up?
[15:04] <ProfFalken> etronik: no probs.
[15:04] <bitsbam> trying to weigh out the pros, cons
[15:05] <bitsbam> i 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 us
[15:05] <bitsbam> not to mention dumping the bigger tables takes long enough to be a problem
[15:05] <ProfFalken> bitsbam: 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] <bitsbam> and the backup server is going to be located in a different Geographical location
[15:06] <bitsbam> ProfFalken, well preferably
[15:06] <bitsbam> we need to be able to kick off the backup server incase the main one  dies
[15:06] <bitsbam> We are in the dead center of Tornado Alley
[15:06] <ProfFalken> bitsbam: 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] <ProfFalken> bitsbam: !! :o)
[15:07] <bitsbam> makes sense
[15:07] <bitsbam> so any change to either will propagate to the other?
[15:07] <bitsbam> Is it pretty risky to do?
[15:08] <ProfFalken> bitsbam: 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] <bitsbam> oh, splendid
[15:08] <ProfFalken> bitsbam: http://capttofu.livejournal.com/1752.html is a good place to start.
[15:10] <ProfFalken> bitsbam: 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] <bitsbam> Great link, ProfFalken, thanks
[15:10] <ProfFalken> bitsbam: np.
[15:10] <ProfFalken> bitsbam: and good luck... :o)
[15:10] <bitsbam> thanks, you may be hearing from me again :)
[15:14] <etronik> ProfFalken: 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 ?
[15:20] <etronik> I 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 ?
[15:21] <ProfFalken> etronik: 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?
[15:22] <etronik> ah ok, thanks anyway, you already helped anyhow :)  re #ubuntu-uk ? you mean  try asking there ?
[15:23] <ProfFalken> etronik: 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.
[15:24] <ProfFalken> bbl...
[15:25] <etronik> will do thanks ProfFalken
[15:40] <etronik> ProfFalken: for your reference (future help :-) the CPAN config file in in /etc/perl/CPAN  !! :-)
[16:06]  * Gargoyle waves
[16:11] <bitsbam> If 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?
[16:12] <etronik> besides replication probably stopping to work ?
[16:23] <bitsbam> etronik, is that pretty likely?
[16:23] <bitsbam> would hate to have to copy the database over the net to the backup server again, i mean, good grief
[16:26] <etronik> why not maintain that copy/replice on the LAN, and make an off-line copy from that replica ??
[16:27] <etronik> I mean, having replication into a offline site wil be less performant, and less performant means more costly some way or another
[16:28] <etronik> consider 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 requirements
[16:28] <etronik> lke a thee-way replication
[16:30] <etronik> guys, how do I check (coomand line) if I have sendmail or postfix installed ?
[16:32] <random00> How do you change a computers name via the command line?
[16:40] <bitsbam> etronik, good idea
[16:40] <bitsbam> etronik, what OS are you using?
[16:40] <etronik> ermmm
[16:40] <bitsbam> duh,
[16:40] <bitsbam> forgot where i am
[16:41] <etronik> jeOS under virtualbox under a Windows host... presently
[16:41] <bitsbam> look in /etc/init.d
[17:17] <ray_tru`> Is there a tool to monitor disk access in ubuntu ?
[17:17] <yann2> iostat i think?
[17:18] <ray_tru`> thx
[17:28] <ProfFalken> etronik: thanks, I'll file that away for future reference... :o)
[17:28] <etronik> how do I find out the group that Apache process belogs to ?
[17:28] <etronik> belongs...
[17:30] <ProfFalken> bitsbam: 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] <ProfFalken> bitsbam: I'd test it first though... :o)
[17:30] <bitsbam> ok cool.
[17:31] <bitsbam> am going to give it a try.
[17:31] <peppe__> salve a tutti
[17:32] <peppe__> avrei un problea con vlc e streaming su http
[17:32] <bitsbam> if 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 stream
[17:34] <ProfFalken> etronik: 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-data
[17:35] <ProfFalken> bitsbam: 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] <bitsbam> ok
[17:36] <bitsbam> thanks
[17:41] <etronik> ProfFalken: confirmed, I used top and forced apache to work and appear at the top of the list... colvoluted way to find that out huh?
[18:07] <oneseventeen> I've got a chrooted ssh enviornment set up, but I can see files no matter who I am signed in as
[18:07] <oneseventeen> I'm assuming I messed up my umask?
[18:26] <peppe__> ita?
[18:26] <pteague_work> anybody 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 names
[18:28] <oneseventeen> to be clear, a umask of 077 would mean only the creator of a file could see it or mess with it, right?
[18:30] <ProfFalken> pteague_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_work> oh crap, nm...  seems this is worse than i thought... the server is still running gutsy >.>
[18:32] <ProfFalken> pteague_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] <oneseventeen> ok, weird... I am SSH'd into my server as user2 and looking at a file owned by user1 with permissions 600
[18:32] <oneseventeen> shouldn't that file be invisible to me, since I don't have read permissions?
[18:33] <oneseventeen> nevermind, just realized I can't retrieve it, just see the filename
[18:33] <pteague_work> dotdeb has debs compiled for latest releases from apache, mysql, & php... so they have 5.2.8
[18:33]  * ProfFalken runs off to look at .deb
[18:34] <pteague_work> oneseventeen: directory would have to be not readable for you to not see any filenames
[18:34] <oneseventeen> pteague_work: thanks!  I'll change folder perms real quick and check again
[18:39] <oneseventeen> pteague_work: thanks, worked liek a champ!  much more secure chrooted sftp server now :)
[18:41] <pteague_work> hmm...  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 :(
[18:45] <ProfFalken> pteague_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)
[18:47] <ProfFalken> pteague_work: it's called package pinning IIRC
[18:57] <bitsbam> i have a directory that i used scp to get from another computer, it will not let me change it's ownership.
[18:57] <bitsbam> sudo chown mysql testdatabase -R
[18:58] <bitsbam> gives me a permission denied.
[19:00]  * ProfFalken is outta here...
[19:00] <ProfFalken> Good luck to all those who managed to get the night-shift tonight, Happy New Year all, PF.
[19:00] <ProfFalken> who
[19:05] <pteague_work> i think what i really need to do is upgrade to hardy & then to intrepid...
[19:05] <pteague_work> bitsbam: did you remember to use sudo ?
[19:07] <disposable> i've installed slapd on ubuntu 8.04 and during installation set Administrator password to be 'password'. i then installed phpldapadmin and now, when i try to log in as cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com, i get 'bad username or password' what am i doing wrong?
[19:20] <bitsbam> pteague_work,   i remembered sudo , i forgot that it was an sshfs mounted folder on another computer.
[19:20] <bitsbam> :)
[19:20] <bitsbam> dumb mistake,
[19:20] <pteague_work> hehe
[21:17] <eagles0513875> how can i encrypt my shoutcast files
