Khronosis there a way to enable the dhcp daemon on only one interface?00:14
vanoJust installed debian-server with tomcat, however the app server doesnt seem to be serving pages, even the examples which are already installed do not work (they are rendered as plain text). This is an untweaked brand new installation. Any ideas?00:16
vanosorry, I meant ubuntu-server, not debian.00:16
VK7HSEKhronos: in your /etc/default directory there is a file called dhcp3-server in this is where you define what interfaces you want your dhcp server to serve on ;-)00:20

Rafael_i have software raid on ubuntu server, i have test it multiple ways and it works beatifull. something very strange i have notice: very often the raid goes into degrade mode and one of the drive disapers, i thoight was a physical problem wth the drive, i have test all the 3 drives with Western Digital softare and drive are fine, is this a now issue with software raid03:55
|Sigma|hello07:03
|Sigma|anyone interested in giving me a hand? I have a strange problem... wireless card refuses to get an ipv4 address, but it manages to get an ipv6 easily enough07:07
twb"get an IP address" meaning via DHCP?07:12
|Sigma|correct07:12
twbIs this really a question for -server?07:12
|Sigma|well, I AM running server edition07:12
twb"server edition" is backed by the same package archive; the main difference is the default package list.07:12
twbIs NetworkManager running?  Does /etc/network/interfaces refer to the wireless interface?07:13
twbIf "yes" to the latter question, does it refer to "inet6" instead of "inet"?07:13
|Sigma|no GUI, hence no network manager. /etc/network/interface does refer to wlan07:13
|Sigma|and give me a sec for the last one07:13
twbNetworkManager has no GUI.07:14
|Sigma|no, it refers to "inet'"07:14
|Sigma|huh07:14
|Sigma|well, I don't have it installed, at least >_>07:14
twbThe applet is a separate, wrapper program that interacts with NM via the dbus protocol.07:14
twbaptitude search network-manager should tell you if it's installed, just to double-check.07:15
twbIME most of the network problems on Ubuntu are caused by that bloody piece of shit.07:15
|Sigma|not installed, just checked again07:17
|Sigma|give me a second, I just disabled ipv6 globally (I hope)... dunno why I didn't think of that earlier07:17
|Sigma|I've been fighting this beast for about 5 hours, just missing the IP now... I'm happy it can scan07:18
twb|Sigma|: OK, what happens if you manually run "dhclient foo0", where foo0 is the interface name07:20
|Sigma|fails miserably after a couple tries07:23
twbOK, next I would check the DHCP server.07:23
twbAfter that, I would try wireshark/tshark sniffing of the packets.07:23
|Sigma|well, all other computers on my network are getting their IPs perfectly fine07:23
|Sigma|so DHCP server not a problem07:24
twb|Sigma|: are they getting their IPs over wifi, or ethernet?07:24
|Sigma|wifi07:25
twbOK, time to start packet sniffing.07:25
|Sigma|time to look for a good sniffer that runs on mac, then07:25
ScottKtdpdump should work.07:26
|Sigma|thanks, I'll try it out07:26
twbtcpdump pisses me off, compared to tshark07:26
twbYMMV, of course.07:27
|Sigma|I might give static DHCP a try first though07:27
|Sigma|*sigh* no go, time to look up that sniffer07:28
* |Sigma| feels really really stupid08:02
|Sigma|so, the only thing it picks up is a LOT of SSDP protocol connections from the router08:08
krautmoin08:45
twb|Sigma|: did you work out what the problem was?09:04
|Sigma|looks like the router isn't answering ARP request09:04
|Sigma|the NIC keeps on spamming who-has messages09:05
|Sigma|but I don't get it09:05
|Sigma|since all my other computers work fine09:05
mario_Hello!09:05
|Sigma|hi09:05
mario_i have added the line "192.168.123.123 www.foobar.de foobar.de" to my /etc/hosts09:05
mario_but if i ping www.foobar.de i still get a official ip.09:06
mario_it works with foobar.de (then i get 192.168.123.123)09:06
mario_any idea if ubuntu it caching the dns stuff somewhere?09:06
|Sigma|mario_: how are you accessing the domain? web browser?09:07
|Sigma|clear out the browser;s domain if yes09:08
|Sigma|if no.... no clue >_09:08
|Sigma|>_>09:08
mario_command line ping :)09:08
|Sigma|er, I mean, browser's cache09:08
|Sigma|heh09:08
|Sigma|sorry man, no clue.... it shouldn't :p09:09
mario_well, why use the browser if its not even workign correctly on my console? :)09:09
mario_hehe, thanks anyway09:09
|Sigma|restart?09:09
mario_already done, but now i feel like a windows users. And i did not even succeed :P09:09
mario_ahh...i typed 4 w :)09:10
mario_stupid me!09:10
|Sigma|huh? problem solved?09:13
|Sigma|.. I wish my problem was that easy <_<09:13
mario_what have you got?09:14
|Sigma|mario_: by the way, google says restarting the networking daemon clears the cache... so technically your reboot DID clear it up :p09:14
|Sigma|a wireless NIC that refuses to get an IP address09:14
|Sigma|I've come a long way though... at the beginning it refused to show up in the system at all09:15

soren|Sigma|: Does the dhcp server show anything in the logs?09:46
|Sigma|soren: the log shows ARP requests get no answer :s09:47
dayo2where is the init script for logrotate in 8.04?09:47
sorendayo2: There is none?09:47
sorenit runs from cron.09:47
soren|Sigma|: So it's statically configured?09:48
dayo2soren: i've edited /etc/logrotate.conf   do i need to restart cron or something?09:48
sorendayo2: No.09:48
dayo2soren: ok, thanks :-)09:48
|Sigma|soren: no, pure DHCP. I did try static though, and no go09:49
soren|Sigma|: arp is used to map ip's to mac addresses.09:49
soren|Sigma|: If it doesn't have an IP yet (since it's trying to get one via dhcp), how does ARP factor into it?09:49
|Sigma|no clue, yet it shows up in the logs09:50

mrcoodles hello everyone, i just installed ubuntu server 8.10 as a guest os on vmware, under windows vista - and i have no clue how to give it internet access. can anyone help ?18:54
ivoksthat really doesn't depend on guest, but on host18:55
ivoksby default, ubuntu server installation will look for dhcp server to get an IP18:56
ivoksif there's no dhcp server, it will ask user to give information about ip18:56
ivoksif you have't typed ip address and stuff like that, then your vmware has a dhcp server (which is normal and default)18:56
ivoksnow, why your guest os (in this case ubuntu) can't access internet is really a question for vmware and/or host operating system18:57
mrcoodlesit usually works on desktoplinuxes. my host os connection is via pppoe; im a bit confused as to what im supposed to add to the /etc/network/interfaces file.18:58
ivokswell, what's there now?18:59
mrcoodlesthere's two lines for the loopback interfaces, which is working19:00
mrcoodlesand somethign labeled The primary network interface19:00
mrcoodlesauto eth019:00
mrcoodlesiface eth0 inet dhcp19:00
mrcoodlesand i have no clue what they mean.19:00
ivoksthis means that:19:03

sommerkirkland: ya, forgot to remove the previous Private folder here's a better paste with errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/117791/19:40
vimpulsemrcoodles:  yes, sudo aptitude install xorg-server, but why do you want one?19:40
vimpulsemrcoodles: oops i meant sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg19:40
vimpulsei think19:40
mrcoodlesbecause it took me half an hour to figure out how to use vi.19:41
sommerkirkland: ls output http://paste.ubuntu.com/117792/19:41
vimpulsemrcoodles:  then you should use nano :)19:41
kirklandsommer: dude19:41
kirklandsommer: why does root own Private and .Private19:41
kirklandsommer: did you "sudo" it at some point?19:41
sommerkirkland: nope19:41
kirklandsommer: okay, root should *not* own it19:42
sommerkirkland: should I scrap those and start over?19:42
kirklandsommer: could you sanitize your environment like so:19:42
kirklandsommer: sudo adduser foo19:42
mrcoodlesvimpulse: can i ehm search by description or smth with that aptitude thingie ?19:42
kirklandsommer: then ssh foo@localhost19:42
vimpulsemrcoodles:  yes.  sudo aptitude19:42
kirklandsommer: then ecryptfs-setup-private as foo19:43
vimpulsemrcoodles:  will bring up the aptitude TUI.19:43
sommerkirkland: sure one sec19:43
vimpulsemrcoodles:  but there are better options, like apt-cache search, which searches descriptions as well.  or www.freshmeat.net, which lists more packages than aptitude.  But do you know why you should never compile software yourself when possible and use aptitude instead?19:44
sommerkirkland: hrmm, it worked fine19:44
sommerkirkland: must have been something I did19:44
kirklandsommer: your other setup is unclean19:44
kirklandsommer: root should not own any of those files in your homedir19:44
kirklandsommer: that can easily happen if you sudo something you didn't need to sudo19:45
kirklandsommer: such as ecryptfs-setup-private19:45
kirklandsommer: sudo ecryptfs-setup-private would create the exact situation you have there19:45
kirklandwell, it could19:45
mrcoodlesvimpulse: because it's easier, lol ?19:45
vimpulsemrcoodles:  yeah :)19:46
sommerkirkland: gotcha, I must have used sudo after trying the mount -t ecryptfs command19:46
mrcoodlesvimpulse: ok, how do i highlight the search button on top, lol19:46
vimpulsemrcoodles:  most stuff at freshmeat is also available in aptitude, you just have to apt-cache search and find out the package name.19:46
vimpulsemrcoodles:  i don't remember.19:46
vimpulseyou are probably new to Ubuntu.  I recommend you take out a good book about Ubuntu from your local library or buy one from www.abebooks.com btw.19:46
kirklandsommer: i am also having trouble with the mount -t ecryptfs command19:47
kirklandsommer: i'm debugging that now19:47
vimpulsemrcoodles:  btw I am currently using vista so I can't check for you :(  anyone?19:47
kirklandsommer: that's a major bug19:47
vimpulseat least /me has cygwin19:47
mrcoodlesvimpulse: me too.19:47
keeswe should add molly-guard to the server seed.  :)19:47
sommerkirkland: ah cool... well cool in the sense that I didn't mess that up :)19:47
vimpulsemrcoodles:  for the aptitude help, you press Control+T then move to the help menu I think.  for the manual:  cd /usr/share/doc/aptitude*19:48
vimpulsemrcoodles:  ask again in 2 min if you don't figure out how to do what you want.19:49
mrcoodlesvimpulse: oh great. now. how did you know this19:49
vimpulsemrcoodles:  good memory thank god :)19:49
vimpulsemrcoodles:  btw I made a mistake.  To install a GUI, do not xserver-xorg.  Instead, aptitude install ubuntu-desktop19:49
vimpulse*mrcoodles:  btw I made a mistake.  To install a GUI, do not install xserver-xorg.  Instead, aptitude install ubuntu-desktop19:50
mrcoodlesvimpulse: ill probably run into trouble trying to do that. link to cool readables for noobs ? like a tutorial , anything but an 800-page book.19:51
vimpulsemrcoodles:  the GUI comes with the "Add/Remove..." tool and the "synaptic" tool both of which are much nicer GUIs than aptitude's TUI.19:51
vimpulsemrcoodles:  I dunno about alternatives books.  I don't read entire books, I just use them as references.  anyone know an answer to mrcoodles's question?19:51
vimpulse*alternatives to books19:51
vimpulsemrcoodles:  ask in #ubuntu20:02
vimpulselllama:  or, use a GUI tool, see if it succeeds, if it does then copy its output into a cron job command line20:03
lllamavimpulse: this is where I've got to: http://pastebin.com/d7cf3e4f820:05
lllamainodes all different.20:06
lllamaSame on CentOS.20:06
vimpulselllama:  you wrote "Short version - we'd prefer certain data not to sit on a particular server for too long, so we're going to pull it off and wipe the machine each day. The snapshots will be used so that users can access an accurate copy of what they were doing."  What is the long version?20:08
lllamavimpulse: Longer. Just trust me that it has to happen that way.20:09
vimpulseI trust, but verify :)20:10
vimpulseso?20:10
lllamaI'll tell you if I get it working.20:11
phreestyle-workquestion for the server gurus out there....is there a way I can move my eBox firewall configuration to Webmin?20:22
phreestyle-workis anyone even here?20:43
Deeps!webmin | phreestyle-work20:51
ubottuphreestyle-work: 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.20:51
phreestyle-workDeeps: eBox DOES NOT WORK FOR ME!20:51
Deepsphreestyle-work: shout all you want, it wont change the fact that webmin isn't supported!20:52
phreestyle-workWebmin is working perfectly fine for me20:52
phreestyle-workeBox is the problem....I have made changes to the configuration files because eBox doesn't have the options I need...so whenever I make a change to ebox, it wants to overwrite my changes20:53
phreestyle-workDeeps: either eBox needs to stop trying to overwrite my files, or I need to stop using it20:54
Deepsphreestyle-work: file a bug on launchpad?20:54
antdedyetread the documentation?20:54
phreestyle-workDeeps: it's not a bug though.20:54
Deepsphreestyle-work: then i'm out of ideas, maybe the webmin guys can help you?20:55
phreestyle-workit's the way eBox works....if I make a change to a dansgaurdian config file, eBox wants to overwrite that file with its own settings if I make any changes inside eBox20:55
antdedyetwrite a patch?20:56
antdedyetso that one can include external, unaffected gui files20:56
antdedyetor find a more elegant approach.20:57
phreestyle-workwell, here's the thing....I can edit everything I need in webmin....except for the eBox firewall settings. If I can disable ebox and use webmin's firewall interface, I don't need ebox anymore....which is fine20:58
Deepssounds like a good idea20:58
phreestyle-workand I don't know how to write a patch....seems like a waste of time since everything but one small peice is taken care of20:59

kansanis there some way of testing how fast a drive's I/O is?  and telling me if its good/bad?21:46
jmarsden|workkansan: Run iozone or bonnie benchmarks?  Or even just use hdparm -t -T /dev/sda  or whatever?  There is no way for the software to tell you what is "good or bad", you need to compare results with other drives and systems...22:06
