[00:16] ubuntu no longer lists the md5sums for the iso's? [00:20] geeze... yay google for something that should be listed on the download page >.> [04:04] I have an ideal that id like to play with using the ubuntu server but I had some questions. my ideal is to build a couple server boxes for emergency communcations using wirless. first question; how hard is it to have the servers cloud their connection and clients cloud the connection too? [04:05] in away like olpc did their clouding the network [04:10] my server would provide all means of communacating i.e. ejabbered, phone server, basic web page chat page, etc etc...is there a project all ready in the works for this? [04:14] well..if anyone has any ideals or can point me in the right direction please e-mail me at michaelhoward78@gmail.com thanks. [06:16] Happy new year. [06:45] happy new year :) [06:47] considering all the nifty problems the file server i'm working on was having i thought i'd do a memory test... with all 3 168-pin sdram in i had over 150 errors by the time it finished the 4th test >_< [06:47] of course that's on top of 2 of 3 drives in a 3 drive raid5 array failing... [06:48] after testing all 3 of the dimms (512mb & 2x 256mb) only 1 of the 256mb is any good :( ... at least server only requires 256mb ram... [06:54] pteague: I'd switch to your backup server until you have that machine thoroughly debugged (or replaced). [06:54] it's my parents' home file/web server [06:55] Why mix 512M and 256M DIMMs? [06:55] pteague: I hope you've got the data backed up then. [06:56] it's 1 of my old 1ghz mobo & cpu... it's been re-purposed so many times & i don't think the memory is what was originally in there [06:57] yes, it's backed up... the plan was to have 2 raid5 file servers, there's & mine, & use rsync to back them up to the other [06:57] mITX? [06:57] pteague: ah good, it sounds as though you're on top of things then. [06:57] it's a full size atx in a full size tower case [06:58] mine is a mini-itx with a single 1gb chip & has a backplane with 4 hard drives in it... [06:59] SCA? [06:59] i think what killed their hard drives this last summer was the 2x dehumidifiers & the open windows in the basement... & no fan <.< they were having issues & i came over on a weekend & it was broiling [06:59] SCA? [07:00] SCSI, 80-pin... often hot-swap [07:01] Single Connector Attachment iirc [07:03] oh, nope... sata... found a nifty 4 sata connector pci card & bought 1 for both boxes... considering my file server survived the summer (i think the backplane saved it) i got them the same backplane for theirs for xmas [07:05] i'm almost wondering if it'd save me a lot of pain & suffering to toss the old board, cpu, ram & case & buy the same hardware i got for mine [07:05] parallel PCI? [07:07] What's their existing array, PATA? [07:08] it's sata... i got the pci sata card over a year [07:10] pteague: is it in a 64 bit slot, or at least a 66 MHz 32-bit one? [07:11] the atx board is pretty old... it was my desktop eons ago it's got 1 of those... oh, what where they? isa slots? on it... the rest are pci [07:12] You probably don't want to put SATA into one of those slots [07:12] ...especially for more than two drives [07:12] it still has the 3.5" drive attached to the case, but that's not been connected to the motherboard in a long time >.> [07:13] would lshw tell me what kind of pci slots they are? [07:14] I don't know Linux well enough to answer that one. [07:14] k [07:14] The mainboard manual would, but if it's got ISA slots, they're probably basic 32-bit, 33 MHz ones [07:14] ...all sharing bandwidth [07:16] it's just the 1 isa slot & i think it was on a separate channel or something... it does have an agp slot, 2x i think [07:20] Right. A board that old is going to be sharing very limited bandwidth amongst its PCI slots [07:20] Hang more than a couple of drives off that, you may notice the bottlenecks [07:21] What's in it? Pentium III? [07:23] a 1ghz amd... athlon i think [07:25] I have a couple of Athlons sitting around here. Can't find mainboards for them. [07:25] One is Socket A (Athlon XP) and the other's Socket 939 (Athlon 64) [07:25] I quite fancy a Sempron chip, but I should probably get an Athlon 64 for the virtualisation. [07:35] hmm... considering the new intel mini-itx on newegg i may just grab that for my mythtv frontend & move the other boards around to upgrade my parents' file server [07:37] Atom? [07:43] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121359 [07:44] ah, that's the dual-core jobbie [07:46] Nice chip. It has amd64, but lack VT afaik [07:46] i'm using the previous model for my mythtv frontend & it works great... granted, i'm not serving up hd content yet [07:46] The 230? [07:47] i think it's this 1 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121342 - in which case yes [07:47] actually, i still have lshw up... yes, it is the 230 [07:47] That was on my Christmas list [07:48] I have a case and PSU sat waiting for it. [07:48] That's a great price considering it comes with the chip. [07:50] yep & considering the power consumption... :) [07:50] * ball nods [07:51] Pity there's a fan on the chipset, but that can be fixed [07:51] i'm wondering if that's really on the cpu though... on mine the cpu is fanless, it's the gpu that has the fan [07:53] Well, it's on the N. bridge, which contains the GPU [07:53] My ideal board wouldn't even have a GPU, but I'm considered unusual in my tastes. [07:54] for server or console only really don't need a gpu... for the mythtv frontend i do though [07:55] * ball nods [09:24] ubuntu 8.10 server installation asked me if i want to install virtual machine server, which virtual machine server are they talking about ? [12:26] hello [13:53] morning all [13:54] is there a dummies guide anywhere for setting up a mail server? [14:13] apparmor broken in hardy > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/268880 :( [14:13] Launchpad bug 268880 in apparmor "aa-logprof : multiple Use of uninitialized value " [Undecided,Confirmed] [14:25] hi, does ubuntu have a web config similar to webmin or ispconfig? [14:41] shubuntu: I belive e-box is the solution best integrated with ubuntu. [14:42] i checked the website, though there wasn't much info, i need to know if i offer ebox, instead of webmin / ispconfig my clients won't curse me [14:42] does it have a similar look and feel? [14:44] shubuntu: No idea, I haven't really looked into neither webmin or e-box myself. [14:44] what do you offer to your clients? [14:45] shubuntu: I don't have clients in that regard. [14:45] oh ok [14:46] thanks anyways [14:54] I have SSL setup on my domain (webmain shows that it's using an SSL cert, only it dosen't seem to be mine....) But I can't seem to get the actual site to use the cert, any ideas? [14:56] create your own ssl [14:56] Setup a self-signed SSL cewrtificate? [14:57] shubuntu: ? [14:57] !webmin [14:57] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [14:57] :( [14:58] apt-get install ssh openssh-server [14:59] Ermmm, webmin was just my example [14:59] Webmin: favicon blue [14:59] SIte: favicon gray <-- I want this blue, how ? [14:59] * AdamDV installs stuff [14:59] shubuntu: Done. [15:00] What now? [15:01] which distro are you on? [15:01] 8.0.4 / 10 [15:03] http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts [15:03] http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-8.10 [15:03] just follow that [15:03] will help you learn how to fix it up [15:03] if you only are interested in the mail bit, just follow the mail bits [15:03] !ebox [15:03] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [15:03] 8.04 [15:04] then the first link is better suited for you [15:04] ermmm, I need the following still: [15:04] Dovecot / sendmail [15:04] SSL for the main site [15:04] SSL for mail [15:04] WIll that link work? [15:05] gnuhost may be of interest to you [15:05] Do you really need sendmail, or just an MTA? [15:06] hmm, that not be what i was thinking of [15:06] gplhost [15:06] that's the one [15:06] http://www.gplhost.com/software-dtc.html [15:06] I need an MTA that works with roundcube [15:07] That is EASY to set up. [15:07] and works with IMAP/POP3. [15:07] Possible? Postfix, sendmail, or somehting else? [15:08] sendmail isn't known for it's ease of configuration. [15:08] that tells you how to create an ssl [15:09] you use openssl to create an rsa based ssl [15:09] just follow the link [15:09] an ssl certificate* [15:10] and postfix would be the recommended MTA to use in ubuntu [15:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/postfix.html [15:11] Ok [15:12] Yesterday I tried that link, and the dovecot one, to no avail.... [15:13] I think i should purge dovecot and sendmail and reinstall? [15:14] reinstallation is drastic. Purging should do all you need. [15:16] Oh, ya I meant reinstall dovecot and sendmail, not the OS :P [15:16] AdamDV: don't purge. remove [15:17] and then reinstall [15:17] I think i fscxked my configs [15:17] Ebox gives me thisL: [15:17] locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory [15:17] locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory [15:17] locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory [15:17] oooh [15:17] ANd jsut sits there....

[15:20] then aptitude install ebox-all [15:20] Ok [15:20] although ispconfig is really good too [15:20] if you wanna build it, you'd be really in for a good treat with that [15:20] What is it?

Is there a way to also save those packages (the ones being upgraded / installed) to a CD, so that if I have to reinstall, apt will get those packages from CD? [22:36] The packages will be cached in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [22:37] So I could just copy them to a CD, and then copy them back to /var/cache/apt/archves/ after I reinstall, then apt would pick them up from there? [22:38] Ther'es also a package called aptoncd. Dunno how well it works. [22:38] brb, dinner [23:27] hi, i wonder if anyone can help me to figure out some strange things in my apache logfile?
