| oh_noes | do I have to delete it and download he 26GB+ again? | 00:29 |
| jetsaredim | JanC: any particular reason for this on a non-"/" drive? | 00:29 |
| oh_noes | is there a command I can give to apt-mirror to do a crc/md5 against all files? | 00:29 |
| jmarsden | oh_noes: Not to apt-mirror, but you can use find and xargs and md5sum to construct one yourself... but I'm headed out the door... back soon I hope... | 00:32 |
| JanC | jetsaredim: I don't remember all the details (I read about it somewhere), but e.g. file system maintenance tasks (like fsck) might need that space | 00:32 |
| jetsaredim | fair enough | 00:32 |
| jetsaredim | seems a waste | 00:33 |
| JanC | jetsaredim: and it helps prevent fragmentation too | 00:33 |
| jetsaredim | 20G is a decent chunk | 00:33 |
| oh_noes | jmarsden: yep .. already in the middle of a find | xargs md5 .. but doing 50G is slow :) | 00:33 |
| oh_noes | I thought I'd ask while I wait. | 00:33 |
| JanC | that's why I said to make it smaller ツ | 00:33 |

| steelcityjim | is it possible to dial in remotely via ssh and view video files on your server | 03:16 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | view video files located on the server? yes, theres a couple of ways you could try | 03:17 |
| steelcityjim | is there a windows application available | 03:24 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | no idea. | 03:24 |
| steelcityjim | well im looking to be able to play movies from the server | 03:24 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | we'll i'd mount it into my filesystem and play it like that ... but my OS supports sshfs ... | 03:25 |

| Nytrix | anyone, how do i save a specific program that is already installed so i wont have to config everything all over again for another pc? | 05:17 |
| Cyntek | Myst, hi! | 05:17 |
| Myst | hey | 05:18 |
| Cyntek | Im running ubu-server 8.10 and i have installed an additional NTFS HD as slave for extra-storage for my home-server, for File sharing accessibility. How can i get ubu-server to recognize the drive? | 05:21 |
| Nytrix | why have it as ntfs? | 05:24 |
| Cyntek | well, my family uses windows xp pro and they're going to be storing and file sharing. | 05:25 |
| hads | If you're sharing it over the network it doesn't need/want to be NTFS | 05:26 |
| Cyntek | im creating a Fiel Server for mainly Home Network for Media such as music and files. | 05:26 |
| Cyntek | Really. | 05:26 |
| Cyntek | i didn't know, just figured it would be so, since they are all running xp pro. | 05:27 |
| Cyntek | so xp can recognize the network hard drive. | 05:27 |
| Cyntek | So it does not have to an ntfs drive. | 05:28 |
| Cyntek | what would be the best option ? | 05:28 |
| Cyntek | format drive to ext3 | 05:31 |
| Nytrix | try http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mounting-windows-partition-onto-ubuntu-linux/ | 05:32 |
| Nytrix | hopefully that helps | 05:32 |
| Nytrix | shows u how to do it through the terminal | 05:32 |
| Cyntek | Alright, but is best to keep it as ntfs file system or convert it to ext3 | 05:33 |
| Nytrix | ext3 | 05:35 |
| Nytrix | then use samba to share between the windows machines | 05:36 |
| Nytrix | or | 05:37 |
| Nytrix | is everyone using the same machine? | 05:37 |
| Nytrix | no right | 05:37 |
| Nytrix | ? | 05:37 |
| Cyntek | no. | 05:37 |
| Nytrix | the workstations are xp right? | 05:37 |
| Cyntek | each family members have there own computers. | 05:38 |
| Nytrix | ok i guess it's best to format it to ext3 then use samba to share files | 05:38 |
| Nytrix | !samba | 05:38 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 05:38 |
| Cyntek | alright, but is it best to keep it as ntfs or another file system, for this type of Server usage? | 05:40 |
| Nytrix | well it is a linux server so use ext3 | 05:43 |
| Nytrix | since u cant seem to mount it, try to make it ext3 | 05:44 |
| twb | Don't forget to mount NTFS filesystems with -t ntfs3g, *not* -t ntfs. | 05:45 |
| Cyntek | Nytrix, it is mounted. | 05:48 |
| Cyntek | im able to view it. | 05:48 |
| Cyntek | as ntfs | 05:48 |
| Nytrix | great | 05:48 |
| Nytrix | :) | 05:48 |
| Cyntek | thanx | 05:48 |
| Cyntek | when i run command: ls /dev/sdb5 | 05:49 |
| Nytrix | you will still need samba i think to be able to share over a network | 05:49 |
| Cyntek | it shows up " yellow " | 05:49 |
| Cyntek | Yes, i can do that. | 05:49 |
| Cyntek | Nytrix, Thanks for the help | 05:51 |
| Nytrix | i tried | 05:53 |
| Nytrix | np | 05:53 |
| twb | Cyntek: device files are coloured yellow by default, to distinguish them from files. | 05:55 |
| twb | Cyntek: to look at the contents of the filesystem on /dev/sdb5, you need to call ls on the mountpoint (e.g. /media/data). | 05:55 |
| Cyntek | hmm. | 05:56 |
| Cyntek | Does this look right: http://rafb.net/p/sVC0Mq22.html | 06:03 |

| cemc | llragsll: ALL data? | 08:08 |
| llragsll | yes... | 08:10 |
| llragsll | I have been using munin to graph..ok..but it shows only the rate.. | 08:10 |
| llragsll | I want the total data going in and out... | 08:10 |
| llragsll | any packages to do this? | 08:11 |
| cemc | ah, you mean a byte count ? | 08:11 |
| llragsll | yes | 08:11 |
| llragsll | a byte count...say the amount of data transfered every day..with a global counter showing the entire amount of data transfered. | 08:12 |
| llragsll | is there any packed doing this...I tht it would be something simple...l want the data tht is seen next to the n/w connection. data in/out | 08:13 |
| Titan8990 | phpsysinfo will do it I think | 08:14 |
| Titan8990 | let me check | 08:14 |
| cemc | I found one called darkstat | 08:14 |
| cemc | http://dmr.ath.cx/net/darkstat/ | 08:14 |
| Titan8990 | llragsll, nope only total transfer from time up | 08:15 |
| llragsll | hmm..ya..looks similar to munin | 08:15 |
| llragsll | Titan8990, at least till time up is better... | 08:16 |
| llragsll | but something persistent will be nice...there should be something definitely | 08:16 |
| Titan8990 | well, if you already have apache + php you can check out phpsysinfo | 08:17 |
| Titan8990 | if not, I would say its not worth setting up for that | 08:17 |
| llragsll | ya I got lighttpd/php...it's setup for munin. | 08:18 |
| llragsll | will bwm help | 08:20 |
| llragsll | i am going thru it... | 08:20 |
| cemc | if I recall correctly, bwm is some tiny monitoring software, like dstat, or iptraf | 08:22 |
| llragsll | hey great...bwm-ng is the package...."It shows total of in and out as well as total of all Interfaces. Several different output methods are supported (curses, plain, csv and html). " | 08:22 |

| _ruben | which part is supposed to take care of starting md raid volumes? i created 2 raid volumes using mdadm, rebooted the box, dont show up | 10:19 |
| cemc | _ruben: do you have a /etc/mdadm.conf file, or anything in it ? | 10:21 |
| _ruben | nope | 10:22 |
| _ruben | ah /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf .. had missed it at first | 10:23 |
| cemc | is there anything in it ? | 10:24 |
| _ruben | http://paste.ubuntu.com/122751/ | 10:26 |
| cemc | and when you boot, there's nothing in /proc/mdstat? | 10:28 |
| _ruben | nope .. doesnt even exist as no raid modules get loaded .. tried adding ARRAY lines to that config (based on a mdadm scan), doesnt help | 10:30 |
| _ruben | hmm .. mdadm itself doesnt seem to autostart either .. strange | 10:45 |
| cemc | what release are you trying this on ? | 10:47 |
| _ruben | 8.10 | 10:49 |
| _ruben | the "funny" part is, i have 2 nearly identical boxes .. one works as it should, the other doesnt | 10:49 |
| _ruben | hmm .. one difference, one's upgraded from 2.6.27-9-server kernel to -11 .. the working one was installed as -11 directly .. | 10:54 |
| * _ruben senses a reinstall coming up | 10:54 | |
| cemc | ;) | 10:55 |
| cemc | do you have autoraid on the partitions ? | 10:56 |
| cemc | I mean the partition types | 10:56 |
| _ruben | yes | 10:57 |
| domas | holy crap, ubuntu just freaked me out | 11:05 |
| domas | I was typing vgcr[tab] and it completed to 'vgcreate', I pressed [tab] once more, and it filled in existing volume group name, I pressed [tab] and it filled in device in it | 11:05 |
| domas | this looked scary | 11:05 |
| cemc | _ruben: the only thing I found is in /etc/udev/rules.d/85-mdadm.rules for starting up RAID | 11:07 |
| cemc | domas: ubuntu iz smart :) | 11:08 |
| domas | cemc: well, it was stupid | 11:10 |
| _ruben | bashcompletion is kinda handy every now and then | 11:10 |
| domas | cemc: I was creating VG, so reusing old name didn't work :) | 11:10 |
| cemc | :)) | 11:10 |
| domas | and... it picked a device that was in VG already, while there was another unassigned one | 11:10 |
| domas | but still | 11:11 |
| _ruben | cemc: adding "raid10" to /etc/initramfs/modules did the trick | 11:11 |
| cemc | /etc/initramfs-tools/modules ? | 11:15 |
| _ruben | which i had tried before, but the /boot partition seems to not be properly mounted always | 11:15 |
| _ruben | uh, yeah | 11:15 |
| _ruben | memory doesnt have autocomplete :P | 11:15 |
| cemc | ;) | 11:15 |
| cemc | you added raid10 so it loads the module when booting up | 11:18 |
| _ruben | which isnt needed on the other node, there the mdadm hooks handled the inclusion of the raid10 module properly | 11:21 |
| cemc | hm | 11:22 |
| cemc | _ruben: maybe you should try adding the RAID device to /etc/fstab, remove the modules from the initramfs-tools/modules, and then update-initramfs, see what happens | 11:36 |
| _ruben | cemc: it isnt listed on /etc/fstab on either boxes .. as the md's are exported over iscsi | 11:37 |
| cemc | i see | 11:37 |

| subchee | web streaming radio | 13:24 |
| subchee | I'd like to use Icecast2 | 13:24 |
| subchee | my problem is that with Ices2 it can only play .ogg files | 13:24 |
| subchee | can somebody recommend something else instead of Ices2 to play .mp3 music? | 13:25 |
| domas | you know mp3 patent situation? :) | 13:25 |
| mac9416_2 | Hello, gents. I want to set up a DNS server for my local network, but it occurred to me: why do DNs cost money if just anyone can set them up? | 13:25 |
| subchee | yes domas, I know :) | 13:26 |
| domas | subchee: so look for packages outside core repo | 13:27 |
| oCean_ | mac9416_2: there's the cost of hardware, hosting and maintenance of course | 13:27 |
| domas | though according to package description, 'icecast2' package should stream mp3 properly :) | 13:27 |
| cemc | mac9416_2: maybe because it costs money to admin the server, to upgrade it now and then, to run in 24/7, the bandwidth, etc ;) | 13:27 |
| subchee | I've googled all the day to find a package instead of Ices2... but I couldn't :( | 13:27 |
| subchee | I was thinking about to use Shoutcast (sc_server + sc_trans) but it doesn't want to start... (glibc6 is installed) | 13:28 |
| mac9416_2 | Hmmm. Yeah, now it doesn't seem so easy. OK, is there a really good instruction guide out ther efor setting up DNS? Any forum HowTo I find is very confusing. | 13:29 |
| mac9416_2 | I"ve looked at books I like, but I really need a quick/free howto | 13:31 |
| oCean_ | mac9416_2: seen this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236093. Basic setup. Hardly confusing | 13:31 |
| domas | subchee: you can install compat libc | 13:31 |
| domas | subchee: then shoutcast will work :) | 13:31 |
| subchee | domas: you mean "libghc6-regex-compat-prof"? | 13:34 |
| domas | nope | 13:35 |
| subchee | sorry, "libc6" and "glibc-2.7-1" are installed... so what should I install? :) | 13:36 |
| domas | which is failed dependancy? | 13:38 |
| mac9416_2 | Thanks oCean_ | 13:40 |
| subchee | there is no failed dependancy... if I want to start sc_serv there is an error msg: ./sc_serv: There is no such file or directory. | 13:41 |
| subchee | the .log file and the .conf file is in the same directory and the user has the right to write into the .log file | 13:42 |
| domas | anyway, there's nothing wrong with vorbis!! :) | 13:43 |
| subchee | yeah, I know | 13:43 |
| subchee | but all my music is mp3 | 13:43 |
| subchee | I don't want to spend days with converting them :) | 13:43 |
| cemc | subchee: how do you start sc_serv exactly? | 13:44 |
| subchee | just typing this: ./sc_serv | 13:44 |
| domas | subchee: you can always recompile icecast to support mp3 :) | 13:44 |
| subchee | domas: really? I didn't know about that... good news :) | 13:45 |
| cemc | subchee: what is 'ls -la sc_serv' saying ? | 13:45 |
| subchee | -rwxr-xr-x 1 14775 1687 137088 2007-02-28 21:17 sc_serv | 13:45 |
| subchee | sorry, I didn't use pastebin :( | 13:46 |
| cemc | np, one line won't kill anybody :) | 13:46 |
| cemc | did you tried with ./sc_serv file.conf ? | 13:46 |
| cemc | err... did you try* | 13:46 |
| subchee | yes, and the result is the same | 13:46 |
| domas | subchee: strange though, icecast2 package _should_ be able to play mp3 | 13:48 |
| subchee | thank you everybody, bye-bye (apt-get install libc6-i386 solved the shoutcast problem) | 14:02 |

| kinnaz | Cyntek, you mount the driver to specific location after making filesystem do it if it doesnot have one | 14:58 |
| kinnaz | then you if you move files to that mountpoint | 14:58 |
| kinnaz | they will be on that new drive | 14:58 |

| Cyntek | thank you . | 16:15 |
| cemc | sadiq_: try usermod -s /bin/bash <username> | 16:16 |
| sadiq_ | usermod: unable to lock password file | 16:16 |
| sadiq_ | sudo?? | 16:16 |
| cemc | yep, with sudo, sorry | 16:16 |
| sadiq_ | oh...the user is not in sudoers group | 16:16 |
| sadiq_ | su ?? | 16:16 |
| cemc | you need the root password for that i guess | 16:17 |
| sadiq_ | I have that :) | 16:17 |
| cemc | then su -, and do the usermod as root | 16:17 |
| sadiq_ | that line worked as root... | 16:19 |
| sadiq_ | but still no autocompletion | 16:19 |
| cemc | now log in on another console, | 16:19 |
| cemc | and try it | 16:19 |
| sadiq_ | oh..ok...that works :) | 16:20 |
| sadiq_ | ty | 16:20 |
| sadiq_ | any side effects from using bash instead of sh?? | 16:20 |
| cemc | slightly more memory usage I guess | 16:21 |
| cemc | but apart from that I don't think so | 16:22 |
| ScottK | If you're logged in as a user that doesn't have sudo rights, su to the user that does and then sudo. | 16:33 |
| sadiq_ | is root user available(as in I can log as root) in the server install??? | 16:54 |
| ScottK | Not by default. You can enable it, but you generally don't need to. | 16:55 |
| sadiq_ | ok | 16:56 |
| Cyntek | i tried moving the files to the new hard drive in it's new directory i created but i got a error i think: andrew@Home:~$ cp /home/movies/* /dev/sdb1 /movies/* cp: omitting directory `/home/movies/action' cp: omitting directory `/home/movies/anime' cp: omitting directory `/home/movies/comedy' cp: omitting directory `/home/movies/drama' cp: omitting directory `/home/movies/horror' cp: omitting directory `/home/movies/Scifi' cp: can | 16:56 |
| Cyntek | not stat `/movies/lost+found/sdb1': Permission denied | 16:56 |
| Cyntek | what's the right way of doing it? | 16:57 |
| smoser | Cyntek, probably you wanted something like: cp -a /home/movies/* /movies | 16:59 |
| Cyntek | k, ill try that. | 16:59 |
| Cyntek | nope, that did not work. | 17:00 |
| Cyntek | im trying to move it from /dev/sda /home/movies to /dev/sdb1/movies. | 17:00 |
| kinnaz | Cyntek, use mc for file managment | 17:01 |
| Cyntek | what is mc? | 17:02 |
| Cyntek | Midnight Commander | 17:03 |
| kinnaz | yes | 17:03 |
| cemc | mortal combat | 17:04 |
| Cyntek | mortal combat....whoot | 17:04 |
| Cyntek | sudo apt-get install midnight commander | 17:05 |
| smoser | Cyntek, wherever you have /dev/sda mounted and /dev/sdb1 mounted is what you're interested in copying from and to | 17:05 |
| smoser | maybe i missed something, but you almost certainly dont want to actually copy /dev/sdaX or /dev/sdbX | 17:05 |
| Cyntek | http://rafb.net/p/1bNOzF81.html | 17:09 |
| Cyntek | woot, i finally did it. | 17:13 |
| Cyntek | man that took a while. | 17:13 |
| Cyntek | banging my head against wall, trying to figure what i was doing wrong. | 17:14 |
| Cyntek | forgot to set permission on the new Directory " /movies" | 17:14 |
| Cyntek | kept getting permission denied. | 17:14 |
| Cyntek | listen well learned. | 17:15 |
| Cyntek | lol | 17:15 |

| drbobb | hello | 20:45 |
| LHC | hey | 20:46 |
| drbobb | i was kinda surprised today to find that there exist 2.8GHz Xeon CPU's that don't support 64bit mode | 20:46 |
| LHC | did u weep | 20:46 |
| drbobb | not quite, but i needed to burn a 32bit ubuntu server cd | 20:47 |
| drbobb | btw which flag or whatever in /proc/cpuinfo tells you whether 64bit is supported or not? | 20:48 |
| LHC | haha the thing now with cds, I burn so many for no reason, cause I have a stack of 100 and there are still about 70 on it | 20:48 |
| LHC | not sure I come here to learn xD | 20:48 |
| drbobb | well i have several broked cd/dvd burners | 20:49 |
| drbobb | broken, even | 20:49 |
| drbobb | they tend to die right after the warranty expires | 20:50 |
| drbobb | especially those for laptops | 20:50 |
| LHC | thats a bitch xD | 20:52 |
| drbobb | oh and i had to abandon that old xeon box for the time being, i installed ubuntu but it turned out unbootable | 20:52 |
| drbobb | it seems grub has a problem with hdd's hung on addon controller cards | 20:53 |
| drbobb | btw has anyone tried grub2? is it ready to become the default any time soon? | 20:55 |
| Titan8990 | drbobb, I have had no problems | 20:55 |
| Titan8990 | drbobb, with my 3com RAID card | 20:55 |
| Titan8990 | drbobb, are you sure your card is supported by linux kernel? | 20:55 |
| drbobb | Titan8990: i have no problems most of the time as well | 20:55 |
| drbobb | Titan8990: pretty much sure, i found a redhat9 running on that machine when i was given it | 20:56 |
| Titan8990 | drbobb, what I did have a problem with, is drives not plugged into the discrete card would change drive letters, in the middle of doing something and it would cause massive i/o errors and crash the server | 20:56 |
| drbobb | drive letters? | 20:56 |
| Titan8990 | drbobb, device names | 20:57 |
| Titan8990 | drbobb, /dev/sda1 would become /dev/sdb1 in the middle of copying something.... | 20:57 |
| Titan8990 | drbobb, it may have been a problem with the board actually, because sometimes the BIOS didn't even read the extra hdds | 20:58 |
| drbobb | the installer saw mine as /dev/sda and had no problem setting it up with lvm, partitions & filesystems | 20:58 |
| drbobb | and it's the single hdd on the system | 20:58 |
| drbobb | now boot hangs on grub loading, or whatever the message is | 20:59 |
| drbobb | before any menu appears that is | 21:00 |
| redbluefish | I have 2 servers running 8.10, the hardware is different. Server 1 crashes with moderate access to a cifs mounted file system, while server 2 doesn't have the problem. I'm new to linux administration and I'm not sure how to troubleshot this situation. Any ideas for a noob? | 21:26 |
| cemc | redbluefish: crashes like how? kernel panic, freeze, some error msg ? | 21:26 |

| JanC | drbobb: I _think_ you could look for the 'LM' flag to check if a system is 64-bits, but I'm not sure... | 21:37 |
| drbobb | JanC: thx that might be it | 21:46 |
| drbobb | (btw there really ought to be a `man cpuinfo') | 21:47 |
| Deeps | write it! | 21:48 |
| drbobb | Deeps: i have no clue | 21:48 |
| Deeps | :( | 21:49 |
| Deeps | get clue and then writ it! | 21:49 |
| Deeps | write* | 21:50 |
| Deeps | (i would, but it always seemed fairly self-explanitory to me, the bits that mattered to me at least) | 21:50 |
| mark | you know how much fun doing partitioning in the ubuntu installer is on a box with 48 disks, over a 9600bps serial connection? | 22:25 |
| mark | :) | 22:25 |
| Myst | Hey Everyone, i have just configured my server the way i want it and would like to back it up so that i do not have to redo any of the configurations if i have to upgrade the machine etc... is there a way of doing that without ghosting the hard drive? | 23:20 |
| agentk | Myst: If you want to track changes to /etc too then etckeeper is probabbly your answer. IMHO it is better only to backup changes to /etc, which etckeeper can track for you | 23:31 |
| goofey | Myst: that's a big question - what do you want to backup - files or the whole filesystem? | 23:31 |
| agentk | Myst: I havnt tried etckeeper yet though | 23:32 |
| agentk | Myst: I use backuppc for my server backups | 23:32 |
| tangentcollision | I need help getting my shoutcast server running, whenever I start it, it gives me this http://pastebin.ca/1347290 crap and I can't keep the process running | 23:32 |
| goofey | Myst: rsnapshot is also usefull for file backup | 23:33 |
| goofey | Myst: dd is my favorite for filesystem (partition) backup | 23:33 |
| Myst | basically i would like to be able to use the configuration file to configure the exact same server on different hardware should this hardware die... | 23:34 |
| Myst | i dont think the /etc copier program would work because i have a samba server running with shares elsewhere... | 23:35 |
| goofey | Myst: I think rsnapshot is what you want | 23:36 |
| goofey | Myst: you can specify what files to copy and at what intervals | 23:36 |
| goofey | Myst: and it keeps the directory structure intact on the files you do copy | 23:36 |
| Myst | ok so if i setup another server i can use the rsnapshot to bring it to the current config of the other server? | 23:37 |
| goofey | Myst: and it uses rsync and hard links on preserve space | 23:37 |
| goofey | well, rsnapshot maeks the backup | 23:37 |
| goofey | you restore the backup by hand i think | 23:37 |
| goofey | but that's not hard using rysnc | 23:37 |
| goofey | in this case, restoring to a differnet computer is all | 23:38 |
| goofey | rather than the original | 23:38 |
| Myst | sounds good ill take a look at it... | 23:38 |
| goofey | Myst: hope it helps | 23:39 |
| Myst | goofey, thx... if you have any websites that are good tutorials thatd help | 23:39 |
| goofey | Myst: this is what I used: http://www.rsnapshot.org/howto/ | 23:41 |
| mgolisch | are there any crash dump features to be included in the comming release? | 23:42 |
