eolo999hi how do i change memory allocated to a vm? i tried virsh setmaxmem/setmem but i get this error: this function is not supported by the hypervisor: virDomainSetMaxMemory00:17
blackorgaeolo999, what virtualization technology are u using?kvm?00:29
eolo999kvm (sorry forgot)00:30
eolo999blackorga: kvm with qemu hypervisor00:30
xenocampanoliHow do I make at use "bash" instead of "sh"?00:30
xenocampanoliIt appears to do this by default on CentOS...?00:31
blackorgaeolo999, ok....i thought u use xen...00:31
eolo999blackorga: i tried "virsh -c qemu:///system setmaxmem guestname 512000" and that result in the error mentioned before00:32
eolo999blackorga: and "virsh -c qemu:///system setmem guestname 512000" results in "Invalid value of 512000 for memory size00:33
eolo999"00:33
blackorgacan u go inside the virsh shel....00:33
blackorgatype "virsh"00:33
blackorgaafter that run "setmem guestname 512000"00:34
xenocampanoliHow do I make at use "bash" instead of "sh"?00:39
xenocampanoliHow do I make 'at' use "bash" instead of "sh"?00:40
jmarsden|workxenocampanoli: Put the commands into a bash shell script that starts with a line #!/bin/bash and tell at to execute that00:43
xenocampanoliWill it work if I just set SHELL=/bin/bash?00:50
xenocampanolimmarsden|work: Will it work if I just set SHELL=/bin/bash?00:50
xenocampanolijmarsden|work: Will it work if I just set SHELL=/bin/bash?00:51
xenocampanolijmarsden|work: It seems to, but I'm not sure that my test is correctly evidential.00:51
jmarsden|workI have no idea... try some code that uses bash arrays, maybe... sh won't work on those, for sure :)00:52
jmarsden|workat is specified to use sh, so I'd avoid trying to play games with it and put bash code in a bash script... seems simpler and safer00:53
xenocampanolijmarsden|work:  Okay, thank you.00:54
eolo999blackorga: sorry i just seen the answer... go and try..00:54
xenocampanolijmarsden|work:  at works by default using bash on CentOS.  Why would they force it to use sh on Ubuntu?00:54
jmarsden|workxenocampanoli: Read the man page... most likely on Centos sh is a link to bash?00:55
eolo999blackorga: error: Invalid value of 512000 for memory size00:55
eolo999i created the machine with 256MB...00:55
xenocampanolijmarsden|work:  That would be a good solution for me.  Is there any problem with just doing that, or would it be better to use som apt-get package to set it?00:56
jmarsden|workxenocampanoli: I'd not mess with changing sh into bash unless you are extremely sure it won't have other side-effects.00:57
jmarsden|workJust because Centos does something does not make that the POSIX-ly correct thing to do.00:57
xenocampanolixenocampanoli:  Yes, but POSIX-ly is not always helpful, and with the degenerate influence by know-nothings in the U.S.A. crony-capitalist system of numbskullians, I find it hard right now to trust anything that is an alleged standard.00:59
jmarsden|workOK... in that case, feel free to do whatever you want to your own servers, making them as non-standard as you wish -- just remembner it is you who must then support the results :)01:00
eolo999blackorga: i found a way01:12
eolo999Edit /etc/libvirt/qemu/machine-name.xml and then virsh define /etc/libvirt/qemu/machine-name.xml01:13
eolo999the you reboot the machine and... done!01:14
xenocampanoliNope, I cannot just assign SHELL.  That doesn't do it.  I really need to run at with Bash.  Is there no way to configure that?01:27
jmarsden|workNot that I can see from reading the man page.01:27
xenocampanoliI would think there would be a configuration in debian/ubuntu to just run stuff from bash.  After all, they used to do that.  Shoudl be a .deb file.01:28
jmarsden|workJust throw your code into a script with #!/bin/bash at the front... why will this not work for you?01:28
xenocampanoliIt doesn't work.  I tried that and it still runs sh.01:28
jmarsden|workThen you did something wrong.  I'll test here...01:28
xenocampanoliI tried the array thing you suggested and that proves it.01:28
xenocampanoliwhen I put an array assignment in there, it fails.01:29
xenocampanoliPerhaps I'll need to go through a regimen of making my top bash script a dash script.  I wish there was a pointer sheet for it.01:31
xenocampanoliLooks like the main thing is I cannot use export x=y anymore.01:31
xenocampanoliOther than that, my top script is pretty simple.01:31
xenocampanolijmarsden|work:  Did you verify what I'm seeing?01:32
jmarsden|workxenocampanoli: No.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/100712/  works fine for me.01:37
xenocampanoliOkay, thank you.  I'll take a look now.01:37
xenocampanoliI think if you look at this test you may conclude yours was faulty, and that I am right:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/100716/01:43
xenocampanolijmarsden|work: I think if you look at this test you may conclude yours was faulty, and that I am right:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/100716/01:44
jmarsden|workThat's my paste... where is yours??01:44
jmarsden|workOh, wait...01:44
jmarsden|workUmmm.  You need to give a complete example... there is no at command anywhere in there?01:46
xenocampanoliat -f tst.bash now01:47
xenocampanoliwhere tst.bash has that content.01:47
jmarsden|workNo, you totally missed the whole idea!01:47
xenocampanoliThat may be good.  At any rate, the script I gave won't run with at.01:48
jmarsden|workIf tst.bash contains bash code, then you do echo "`pwd`/tst.bash" >shtst.sh and then you  at -f `pwd`/shtst.sh now01:48
jmarsden|workIn other words, you wrap your bash code in a bash script, then run a sh script that runs the bash script.01:49
jmarsden|workYour example does not do that at all?01:49
xenocampanolijmarsden|work:  Yes, so you're still recommending the wrapper.  I have to agree that is the cheapest and clearest solution I can think of also.  Ugly, but relatively painless, and the only thing I could possibly afford to finish tonight before going home with all these things.01:50
xenocampanolijmarsden|work:  ?01:51
jmarsden|workYes; it works, it is trivial, and it will work on any Unixlike OS that has a /bin/bash, so it will work on FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc and I would expect also on Solaris... it's a simple and pretty portable solution...01:52
xenocampanolijmarsden|work:  That is what I'll do then.  Thank you for spending the time helping me with this.  I really appreciate it.  I'm on facebook.  Perhaps if you're in Belltown some time you could contact me to meet at CJs.01:53
xenocampanoliFor now, I need a break...01:54
jmarsden|workOK.  No problem.  BTW you could do something like for i in *.sh ; do mv $i `basename .sh`.bash ; echo $i >$i ; chmod +x $i ;done to create abazillion wrappers for all your scripts quickly...01:54
jmarsden|workAs long as they all have #!/bin/bash at the top to begin with, of course :)01:55
jmarsden|workIf not you can do another oneliner to add it to them all, first...  anyway... have fun :)01:56

BangersWhat is required to get ubuntu-vm-builder to spit out an image that can be started in VMWare ESX?05:06
Bangers$VMBUILD vmserver hardy05:06
Bangersdoesn't work05:06
BangersBut it does work in VMWare Player/Server05:06
ShoopufWhat's better, Snort or Nikto?05:19
altf2othey don't seem to be directly comparable. Snort is a well known "IDS" (Intrusion Detection System) while Nikto appears to be a "Web Server Scanning Utility" that tests your site for various flaws\exploits. I'd say both a great tools to have in your arsenal.05:38
Shoopufaltf2o: oh i see, thanks for the clarification05:40
techsupporthow can i prevent ubuntu server from turning the monitory off ?05:41
techsupportmonitor*05:41
altf2oanytime. I've been a long time fan of Snort however, so i'd definitely recommend learning it if an IDS is something you're looking to implement on your network.05:41
pteagueam i supposed to set up a static ip address in somewhere other than the /etc/interfaces file?05:49
Bangers/etc/network/interfaces05:50
pteagueer, that's what i meant05:50
BangersThen the answer is no05:50
pteaguei just installed intrepid yesterday... set it up in there, did an ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 ... it worked & then sometime today while rsyncing from my backup file server it lost network connection & for some reason it's using the dhcp assigned ip address again instead of the static address that i gave it during installation (& then later had to create in /etc/network/interfaces because installation didn't set it)05:52
pteaguei thought possibly it lost power sometime today, but if it had lost power then it wouldn't have the 3 screen sessions i had going still running >.>05:52
pteaguemaybe restarting with `/etc/init.d/networking restart` may prevent it from reverting again...05:55
nomingzistarting from what version of ubuntu that it come with AppArmor/SELinux ?05:57
Bangerspteague: how many NICs do you have?05:57
pteaguejust the 105:57
pteaguei'm not sure of the total file size count (i'm leaving the public directory out, which probably makes up about 1/3 of the size), but /home on the file i'm rsync'ing from is 758G & i'm wondering if that may be causing problems with the 256mb ram + software raid...05:59
pteague& yes, that's temporary until i can get mobos moved around05:59
Wickedhello all. running 8.04 server here and im having some funny issues all of a sudden. when i use "df -h" it stalls...and i have to open a new session. in ps aux i see *alot* of dupe process... heres a part of the output from ps aux http://pastebin.com/m414d7c806:29
Wickedtop says server loads are at 0 0 006:29
hadsDisk full?06:30
Wickedthats what i thought at 1st..so i rm'ed a fold that was a few hundred mb's...enough to not cause this06:31
Wickedbut now im just trying to find out why theres a million process's running06:32
Wickedheres the full output from ps aux....look how many times cron is running... http://pastebin.com/m5acf211f06:33
Wickedupdatedb is running like 5 times...but yet my load averages are at 0 0 0 ??...seems kinda funky to me06:34
Wickedi guess ill reboot it and do a packet capture here...see if anything fishy is going on.06:36
Wickedhuh. shutdown and reboot are not doing anything...06:42
Wickedsays systems going down for a reboot...but then nothing happens.06:42
Wickedhard reboot. awesome :(06:43
sloopyWicked, whats with the caps for /USR/SBIN/CRON ?06:46
Wickedno idea.06:46
sloopyWicked, some file (executable) would have to be there for a process to be listed, may want to investigate it06:48
Wickedfor sure.06:48
sloopyWicked, did you reboot the machine? 120 reset?06:49
Wickedyea. i hard to hard reboot it.06:50
hadsCRON is normal06:50

domasfs-independent, lvm-agnostic, ..08:59
sorenXperiment62: Sure.09:01
Xperiment62thankyou... finally someone answered09:01
Xperiment62my next question... is it easy medium or hard to set up?09:01
sorenNot that hard, but not trivial either.09:02
sorenI suppose that makes it medium :)09:02
Xperiment62okay, thankyou very much soren... my hope in ubuntu server is not lost09:03
xnvI just installed 8.04.1 and would like to configure the network. Is there a CLI or something I should use on 8.04 to configure the network?09:25
sorenThere's a configuration file.09:25
soren/etc/network/interfaces09:25
Xperiment62hehe, good thing i backed up that file09:26
Xperiment62wouldnt want to have to try each individual ip adress on my network09:26
xnvOK. I know on 8.10 things are different. No such worries on 8.04?09:27
sorenNow I'm confused.09:27
sorenxnv: It's the same on 8.10.09:27
xnvsoren: Then I don't want to edit /etc/network/interfaces09:27
sorenxnv: And 7.10, 7.04, 6.10, 6.06..09:27
xnvsoren: I think you're mistaken09:27
sorenxnv: Then you don't want to configure your network.09:27
sorenxnv: ....or you're in the wrong channel.09:28
sorenXperiment62: I don't think I understand?09:28
xnvsoren: On 8.10 it's in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections09:29
sorenNot in the server edition, it isn't.09:30
Xperiment62well im gonna be doing a fresh install on my server tommorow, and id hate to go to 192.168.1.100 adn count up just so i can find it to ssh09:30
xnvsoren: Seems to be. Is it possible it was just installed as a separate package?09:30
sorenxnv: "it"?09:30
xnvsoren: The network manager09:31
sorenErr... Yes, network manager is a separate package. Everything is.09:31
sorenI don't think I follow.09:31
xnvsoren: You seem to be saying this network manager isn't on 8.10 server edition whereas I seem to be looking at a system that is 8.10 server edition that has it. We could both be "right" in the sense that 8.10 server edition doesn't _come_ with this network manager installed, but is still available.09:33
sorenOf course it's available.09:39
sorenYou can install anything on Ubuntu Server.09:40
sorenGNOME, if you're into that sort of thing.09:40
sorenUbuntu Server isn't a different product or project. It's just a different default install. And it uses ifupdown to configure its network.09:41
xnvsoren: Right and on the 8.10 desktop, the network manager is different by default. Apparently that's not true for server.09:46
soren"different by default"? What does that mean?09:47
xnvsoren: Forget it.09:48
jmarsdenXperiment62: See https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html09:51
ShoopufIs chmod 770 ok for not wanting people to get http access to a directory?09:51

Mal3kodoes anyone know the specific meta package name for these 2 perl modules: DBI & DBD::mysql?10:16
sorenMal3ko: Why do you think there's a metapackage for them?10:18
Mal3kono?10:19
sorenIsn't libdbd-mysql-perl just what you need?10:19
andolMal3ko: Which will give you both; not because it's a metapackage but thanks to the way apt handles dependencies.10:24
ShoopufAnyone know where I put the "TraceEnable off" to turn off TRACE for my web server? I have a few config files here and gettin' confused :P12:24
Shoopufusing Apache :)12:24
Shoopufnot sure if i put it in apache2.conf, or httpd.conf, or ports.conf... or if it's gonna go within some tags12:25
andolShoopuf: If you want to keep your modifications separate from the standard configuration I'd put in httpd.conf12:32
andolShoopuf: Technically it shouldn't matter that much, since most conf-files are included from apache2.conf12:32
andolShoopuf: Still, putting it in ports.conf would just be weird :)12:32
Shoopufandol: oh, great :) i wondered about that.. unfortunately I already started putting stuff in apache2.conf... will start using httpd.conf12:33
ShoopufRecommend a good, fairly simple book on Ubuntu/Apache server administration? I heard one called Ubuntu Kung Fu came out, but haven't heard of many others.12:34
andolShoopuf: No idea, but I'd take a look on what O`Reilly has to offer. I usually like their books.12:38
Shoopufandol: hehe, yah. I just got an O'Reilly PHP book :) great read so far12:38
ShoopufThis Ubuntu Server is great so far :) Seems like all the important stuff is right there in aptitude12:46
Shoopufor is the term 'in the repository?' :P12:46
andolShoopuf: No matter what, it is really nice having all that software so easily availible :)12:52
ShoopufSomeone said try FreeBSD, but I was kinda turned off when they said it wasn't actually Linux, it was just another flavor of Unix? Or somethin'...12:53
Shoopufnot sure which opinions to listen to, everyone's got one :P hehe12:53
andolShoopuf: Nothing wrong with *BSD. Myself I prefer to use OpenBSD in some specific situations.12:54

kinnazcan i use ubuntu server as desktop ubuntu installation ?14:11
kinnazdoes it use diffrent repos ?14:11
kinnazit seems i need to try it myself :P14:13
andolkinnaz: It is the same repos, just diffrent defaults.14:15
kinnazdoes the server edition configure my x ?14:15
kinnazor i need todo it by hand ?14:15
kinnazi have that ubuntu 8.10 server cd here, was wondering is it safe to use it for installation of my workstation14:16
kinnazor ill end up with just more trouble then the effort of burning new image14:16
andolkinnaz: That should work just fine. Simply install the meta-package "ubuntu-desktop" and you'll get the same stuff as if you had done a desktop-install14:17
kinnazah okey tnx, ill try it out14:17
andolkinnaz: Also, you might want to install the -generic kernel instead of the -server kernel.14:17
kinnazin the long run will prolly build kernel by hand anyways14:17
kinnazatleast in the old days14:17
kinnazi always ended up in recompiling the kernel14:18
kinnazhavent used linux for desktop for ages14:18
kinnazdunno how things are nowdays14:18
andolkinnaz: Not sure about the benefits of building your own kernel nowdays.14:18
kinnazcould be, in the old days14:18
kinnazit was in default missing14:18
kinnazntfs aswell that sound thingie14:18
andolkinnaz: Well, give the -generic kernel a try first :) It just might work out for you.14:19
kinnazwill do :)14:19
kinnazalsa yesyes14:19
kinnazalsa was that sound thingie14:19

RoyKhi all. I've setup an ubuntu server 8.04 LTS and all seem to work well, but on every single startup it gives me the recovery menu, which is rather bad15:55
RoyKthat gives me the options resume,dpkg,root and xfix. X is not installed (it's a server after all) and there are no more package errors15:56
jnubuntuyou might of set up grub with the default option as recovery mode15:56
RoyKwhy does this happen?15:56
RoyKhm...15:56
jnubuntuyou might of set up grub with the default option as recovery mode15:56
jnubuntu 15:56
RoyKI'll check15:56
RoyKsysadmin must hav been drunk :P15:57
* RoyK slaps RoyK 15:57
RoyKI'm new to ubuntu server, having been running debian for ages. A recovery menu for single user mode isn't what I was expecting15:58
jnubuntucan you upload your /boot/grub/menu.lst somewhere?15:59
RoyKnot a problem15:59
jnubuntuor email it16:00
RoyKproblem solved16:00
jnubuntuoh16:00
RoyKI know my way around menu.lst, I just misunderstood the recovery mode menu - never seen that on other distros16:00
jnubuntuit is unique and helpful16:00
RoyKLTS seems like a good idea :)16:03
RoyKI know several larger companies that have been running other distros for their servers that are moving to Ubuntu server 8.04 LTS16:04
jnubuntuyeah16:04
RoyKso I think perhaps it's about time to ditch debian in favour of that16:05
jnubuntui cant stand debian16:05
jnubuntureleases way to unpredictable16:06
RoyKI've been running debian for - what - seven or eight years, so I feel at home with it16:06

jdstrandkirkland: function keys are fine17:23
jdstrandkirkland: there is an odd issue with 'F4' )create new window)17:24
jdstrandkirkland: if I do F4, then type in 'foo' as the title, it creates it, but shifts the prompt to the right one character17:25
jdstrand(and the cursor)17:25
jdstrandkirkland: pressing Enter rights it again, but seems something is leaking through17:25
* kirkland tries17:25
jdstrandkirkland: my niggles aside-- this is highly cool stuff! :)17:26
kirklandjdstrand: hmm, F4 worked okay for me on the console, but not shift-tab17:27
jdstrandkirkland: all function keys work on the console17:27
jdstrandkirkland: but, F4 does the one character shift17:27
jdstrandkirkland: everywhere17:27
kirklandjdstrand: i don't understand "one character shift"17:28
jdstrandkirkland: do F4, backspace 4 characters (to replace bash), type 'foo', press Enter17:29
jdstrandkirkland: press Enter a second time and you'll see clearly the prompts don't line up17:29
kirklandjdstrand: oh, on the command line itself17:29
kirklandjdstrand: ah, that is strange17:29
jdstrandkirkland: you should see the cursor is shifted too17:30
kirklandjdstrand: i do ... very strange17:30
kirklandjdstrand: my biggest annoyance is that i can't get more than 4 tabs17:30
kirklandjdstrand: it goes foobar17:30
kirklandjdstrand: i'm highly interested in a fix17:30
* jdstrand 17:31
* jdstrand nods17:31

kirklandnijaba: okay, i'm going through that one now21:46
nijabakirkland: I do not agree with jdstrand last addition to help.txt.  It is fully rudundant with screen by default, for which we now have a helper function, IMO21:49
jdstrandnijaba: which part?21:49
jdstrand(I made a lot of additions to it)21:49
nijabajdstrand: "Use 'screen -r' to reattach to a detached screen"21:49
jdstrandnijaba: I was unaware of additional functionality21:50
nijabajdstrand: if you install screen by default, there should be never any need to do a screen -r21:50
jdstrandnijaba: I was trying to think about the first time screen user21:50
nijabajdstrand: right, it was not merged21:50
jdstrandnijaba: that is a big if :)21:50
jdstrandnijaba: as it operates now, it is not run on login21:51
nijabajdstrand: but the purpose of the exercise, IMO, at least as soon as the package screen-profile is installed21:52
jdstrandnijaba: therefore, I removed the 'exit' part of detach and exit, and added screen -r so people knew how to reattach21:52
jdstrandnijaba: IMHO, improving the screen experience is foremost. if that can be made excellent, then we can consider screen by default21:53
kirklandjdstrand: i agree with you on that point21:54
nijabajdstrand: 2 against 1 -> you win ;)21:54
jdstrandthere are several little niggles that need to be worked out, and I'm not 100% sure that screen is a good default if for no other reason than scrollback. I think people would complain21:54
nijabajdstrand: did you try scrolling back?21:55
kirklandjdstrand: actually, we've turned "scrollback" on21:55
jdstrandI was using the version in kirkland's ppa, so I may not have the latest and greatest21:55
kirklandnijaba: thanks for changing the runtime dependency to python-newt21:56
kirklandnijaba: which is in main :-)21:56
kirklandjdstrand: we'll get you a hot new one soon :-)21:56
nijabakirkland: hopefully as that was not fun :)21:56
kirklandjdstrand: let me get all of this fresh goodness whipped into shape21:56
jdstrandI'm no screen export, but trying to leave scrollback on and actually using the terminal is fairly painful21:57
kirklandnijaba: i'm going to accept the default 'welcome' window for now, but i'd like to come up with an easy way to disable that, once you've seen it a few dozen times :-)21:57
nijabakirkland: hmm, first time it is launched for example?21:58
kirklandnijaba: well, it might be nice to leave it there until you say, "I don't want to see this any more"21:58
jdstrandif there are any people like me, that screen is highly helpful and will need to be seen more than once21:58
kirklandnijaba: like most gui programs with their "Show hints on startup"21:58
kirklandright21:59
nijabakirkland: in which case show the menu directly? ok21:59
nijabakirkland: should I create a ~/.screen-profiles file to store this type of users settings?22:00
kirklandnijaba: hang on, let me get your current work merged first :-)22:01
* kirkland can't keep up with the Great niJaba the Hutt!22:01
* jdstrand is very curious about scrollback on by default22:01
nijabakirkland: I am just thinking about it, waiting for your merge to be done to start a new branch ;)22:01
kirklandnijaba: :-D  sure22:01
* sbeattie can't imagine screen *without* scrollback...22:02
kirklandsbeattie: my life was much worse, before i figured out screen with scrollback22:02
nijabakirkland: In my todo, I have:22:02
nijaba1/ allow selection of of keyboard mapping sets22:02
jdstrandok, so how do you enable by default without it being all crappy all the time?22:02
jdstrandkirkland, sbeattie?22:03
nijaba2/ allow change of default escape22:03
sbeattiejdstrand: define "all crappy"?22:03
nijaba3/ Dynamic help text construction22:03
kirklandjdstrand: can you describe your "crappy" scenario?22:03
nijaba4/ allow discard of welcome by default and go directly to the menu22:03
nijabakirkland: anything else?22:03
kirklandnijaba: those are good so far22:04
kirklandnijaba: for (4), i have an idea22:04
jdstrandkirkland, sbeattie: maybe I am enabling it wrong, but I have always used 'Ctrl-a Esc' which does the 'copy mode'22:04
kirklandnijaba: we could drop "screen -t welcome 0 screen-profiles-helper" out of windows/default22:04
jdstrandis there a better way?22:04
kirklandnijaba: put it in a windows/welcome22:04
kirklandnijaba: and have that added/pruned out of the user's .screen-windows file or some such22:05
nijabakirkland: yep...22:05
kirklandnijaba: i'm going to rename "bash" to "shell", for obvious reasons22:06
nijabakirkland: makes a lot of sense, yes22:07
kirklandnijaba: and i'm going to rename windows/default to windows/common22:07
kirklandnijaba: to match profiles and keybindings22:07
sbeattiejdstrand: hrm, that's how I enable it as well, though I never actually make use of the copy-paste functionality22:08
jdstrandsbeattie: right-- and if you start to type into the terminal while in scrollback mode, doesn't it pop out with 'copy aborted'?22:09
sbeattieBTW, in my screenrc, I add this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/101329/ so that ctrl+a + '-' + [0-9] takes me to windows 10 to 1922:10
jdstrandsbeattie: eg-- I enter scrollback mode, then do 'ls'. bam 'copy mode aborted'22:10
jdstrandI am confused how scrollback can be on be default if I can't use 'ls' :)22:10
jdstrandkirkland: there ^ is my crappy scenario ;)22:11
kirklandjdstrand: how are you "entering scrollback mode"?22:11
kirklandjdstrand: shift-pgup?22:12
sbeattiejdstrand: well, it either barks at me or tells me I've escaped the dungeon, but that's cuz I'm sufficiently dorky enough to have enabled nethack mode.22:12

jdstrandnijaba: profiles/common does have termcapinfo xterm ti@:te@22:16
nijabajdstrand: there is a big for it, IIRC22:16
jthomaspeppe__ what do you want me to see?22:16
jpdskirkland: What will be in the screen-profile package? Different .screenrc's?22:16
kirklandjpds: sort of22:16
peppe__jthomas my problem is this http://pastebin.com/m3b303f9622:17
nijabajdstrand: see bug #30939322:17
uvirtbot`Launchpad bug 309393 in screen-profiles "Can't scroll with shift pgup/down" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/30939322:17
peppe__sorry for my english22:17
jdstrandnijaba: sorry, no dice22:17
jthomasso your computer (127.0.0.1) doesn't have anything on port 808022:17
jdstrandnijaba: termcapinfo xterm* ti@:te@ in /usr/share/screen-profiles/profiles/common, correct?22:18
nijabajdstrand: yep22:18
jdstrandnijaba: yeah, doesn't work.22:18
nijaba:(22:18
nijabait worked for didrocks...  weird22:18
jthomaspeppe__ don't worry about your english, its fine :)22:18
sbeattienijaba: that just gets me the terminals scrollback, not screens scrollback22:19
jthomaspeppe__ is this still vlc issue?22:19
nijabasbeattie: yes, that what is intended22:19
jdstrandsbeattie: I think that would be quite good actually22:19
sbeattieas in, do dmesg in win 0, switch to win 1, then shift-pgup gets me dmesg output.22:19
jdstrandoh, heh, maybe not :)22:19
peppe__I run vlc server for transmission over http on port 8080 so i run another vlc on 127.0.0.1:808022:20
sbeattieblech. when I scrollback, I want the history in the window I'm in.22:20
* jdstrand nods22:20
peppe__but i recive this error22:20
jthomasdo you have a firewall blocking access to localhost:8080 ?22:20
peppe__i have set iptables22:20
jdstrandsbeattie: scrollback from another window in counter-intuitive22:20
jdstrands/in/is/22:21
nijabasbeattie: right, but at least you can scroll back the last command, which is better than nothing...22:21
peppe__i set iptables but i dont set it for vlc22:21
jthomasfor port 8080 to either send, or recieve ?22:22
jthomasmay need to be open for both.  or try turning off iptables to see if that fixes it, then you've found the isse22:22
jthomasissue22:22
peppe__i dont set port 808022:22
* sbeattie wonders how irssi does it, since it gets scrollback right.22:22
peppe__so the firewall block the port22:22
jthomasbut is it blocking all non-enabled ports?22:22
jthomasthe firewall may block the port, not certain22:23
peppe__how do i unlock the port?22:23
jthomasyou're running iptables?  same as with the others.22:24
nijabasbeattie: it is the program that traps the kb event, IIUC22:24
jthomasotherwise, I don't know of the top of my head :(22:24
peppe__yes i use iptables22:25
peppe__and i work in a vnc session22:25
jthomasyes i know.  Try clearing the iptables list (iptables -F) BUT that will erase ALL rules, so make sure that you know how to reset them.22:25
nijabapeppe__: ufw is a nice way to setup your iptables nicely...22:25
jthomasotherwise, I am not certain peppe__maybe google for it22:26
jthomasufw isn't iptables, is it??22:26
Deepsit's a frontend for iptables22:26
nijabajthomas: it certainly is based on it, isn't it jdstrand?22:26
jthomasno kidding, nice.  i thought it was a totally different thing.22:26
jthomasso 'ucf open 8080' isn't it?22:26
peppe__so i use "ucf open 8080"??22:28
jthomas'ucf allow 8080' perhaps?  Not certain peppe__ google it.  I've not used ufw22:28
nijabajthomas: are you talking about ufw? then "ufw allow 8080"22:29
jdstrandjthomas, nijaba: ufw is a frontend to iptables22:29
jthomasor, as I mentioned before, turn off iptables (iptables -F) to remove all to see if thats the problem or not22:29
jdstrandjthomas: sudo ufw status22:29
jdstrandjthomas: if it says 'not enabled' it isn't in your way22:29
jthomastalk to peppe__ jdstrand, he needs assistance with allowing localhost:8080 access22:29
jdstrandpeppe__: ^22:29
peppe__if you use iptables -f blocks network22:30
jdstrandpeppe__: you can see if you have any firewall rules with 'sudo iptables -L -n'22:30
Deepssurely `ufw status` returning 'firewall not enabled' simply means you're not using ufw, rather than that there's no firewalling?22:31
jdstrandDeeps: that is correct22:31
Deepsok22:31
jdstranduse 'iptables -L -n' to see the raw output22:31
jdstrand(no matter what firewall frontend you are using)22:31
heath|workI have to do a distro upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 .... is this possible with do-release-upgrade22:32
jdstrandheath|work: it's not only possibly, it the recommended method22:33
* jdstrand can't type22:33
peppe__i run iptables -L -n and so?22:33
jdstrandpeppe__: that command will show you your filtering rules22:33
jdstrandpeppe__: if there are none, then a firewall *on this host* is not the problem22:34
heath|workjdstrand, will it upgrade straight to 8.10 or can I make it go to 8.04?22:35
jdstrandheath|work: do-release-upgrade will not skip releases22:35
heath|worknice! thanks22:35
peppe__there are any rule, but there isnt 8080 or 127.0.0.122:36

espaciousit was not doing that.22:37
espacioushow can i check what is wrong.22:37
jdstrandpeppe__: can you rephrase?22:37
peppe__in output there is no rule with 127.0.0.1 port 808022:38
jdstrandpeppe__: please paste the output in http://paste.ubuntu.com22:40
peppe__I have to post the output of my Firewal?22:40
kirklandnijaba: please use tab's for indentation in screen-profiles in the future23:13
kirklandnijaba: and the use of the $profiles global variable inside of the other shell functions in select-screen-profile is highly frowned upon23:14
kirklandnijaba: i'm going to parameterize it23:15
LamoI've installed bugzilla via apt and the created a sym link from /var/www/ > /etc/bugzilla3 and can pull up a page on http://localhost/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/index.cgi however I have no way of logging in? sorry for my ignorance but I can't find any docs on how I create a user.23:16
nijabakirkland: I'm not sure I get your second remark...23:17
kirklandnijaba: global variables are generally frowned upon, when programming in a functional manager23:25

Xperiment62hello everytone23:44
Xperiment62everyone*23:44
Xperiment62i have a problem during the install for server 8.1023:49
Xperiment62it asks me to insert the intrepid ibex server install cd23:50
Xperiment62which is currently in the driv23:50
geniiXperiment62: I've seen this on all install cd when it cannot figure out what driver to use for the chipset controlling the cdrom drive (notably some sata controller chips)23:51
Xperiment62well23:51
Xperiment62im using all IDE23:51
Xperiment62is there anyway to get past this screen?23:51
Kamping_Kaiserit tends to happen more on older gear too23:51
cxohow do you setup NICs from the console?23:52
geniiKamping_Kaiser: Yes23:52
Xperiment62ive had it installed on this machine before23:52
cxodo you have to edit /etc/network/interfaces manually?23:53
Kamping_Kaiseryes23:53
geniiXperiment62: As a fast workaround I'd suggest external cd connected by usb. The default install knows about usb-storage by default23:53
Xperiment62ill give it one more go23:54
Xperiment62if it doesnt work, ill go find my IDE to USB gear23:54
geniicxo: man interfaces     has syntax of the entries in that file23:54
cxowhat a pain23:54
Xperiment62providing i can boot from usb23:54
Kamping_Kaiseriirc you can also specify the driver to load on boot prompt, but i could be totally wrong on that23:54
cxohow do you get rid of the disclaimer at login?23:56
=== espacious_ is now known as espacious
Kamping_Kaiserprobably /etc/motd.tail, but that may vary depending on your version23:57
=== liberfiasco is now known as libervisco
Xperiment62oooh, looks like it may be working this time23:59
