oh_noesIf i suspect I have a corrupted local apt-mirror00:29
oh_noesdo I have to delete it and download he 26GB+ again?00:29
jetsaredimJanC: any particular reason for this on a non-"/" drive?00:29
oh_noesis there a command I can give to apt-mirror to do a crc/md5 against all files?00:29
jmarsdenoh_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
JanCjetsaredim: I don't remember all the details (I read about it somewhere), but e.g. file system maintenance tasks (like fsck) might need that space00:32
jetsaredimfair enough00:32
jetsaredimseems a waste00:33
JanCjetsaredim: and it helps prevent fragmentation too00:33
jetsaredim20G is a decent chunk00:33
oh_noesjmarsden: yep .. already in the middle of a find | xargs md5 .. but doing 50G is slow :)00:33
oh_noesI thought I'd ask while I wait.00:33
JanCthat's why I said to make it smaller  ツ00:33
jetsaredimJanC: you don't know of any "rules of thumb" for that do you?00:35

steelcityjimis it possible to dial in remotely via ssh and view video files on your server03:16
Kamping_Kaiserview video files located on the server? yes, theres a couple of ways you could try03:17
steelcityjimis there a windows application available03:24
Kamping_Kaiserno idea.03:24
steelcityjimwell im looking to be able to play movies from the server03:24
Kamping_Kaiserwe'll i'd mount it into my filesystem and play it like that ... but my OS supports sshfs ...03:25

CyntekMyst, hi!05:17
Mysthey05:18
CyntekIm 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
Nytrixwhy have it as ntfs?05:24
Cyntekwell, my family uses windows xp pro and they're going to be storing and file sharing.05:25
hadsIf you're sharing it over the network it doesn't need/want to be NTFS05:26
Cyntekim creating a Fiel Server for mainly Home Network for Media such as music and files.05:26
CyntekReally.05:26
Cynteki didn't know, just figured it would be so, since they are all running xp pro.05:27
Cyntekso xp can recognize the network hard drive.05:27
CyntekSo it does not have to an ntfs drive.05:28
Cyntekwhat would be the best option ?05:28
Cyntekformat drive to ext305:31
Nytrixtry http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mounting-windows-partition-onto-ubuntu-linux/05:32
Nytrixhopefully that helps05:32
Nytrixshows u how to do it through the terminal05:32
CyntekAlright, but is best to keep it as ntfs file system or convert it to ext305:33
Nytrixext305:35
Nytrixthen use samba to share between the windows machines05:36
Nytrixor05:37
Nytrixis everyone using the same machine?05:37
Nytrixno right05:37
Nytrix?05:37
Cyntekno.05:37
Nytrixthe workstations are xp right?05:37
Cyntekeach family members have there own computers.05:38
Nytrixok i guess it's best to format it to ext3 then use samba to share files05:38
Nytrix!samba05:38
ubottuSamba 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
Cyntekalright, but is it best to keep it as ntfs or another file system, for this type of Server usage?05:40
Nytrixwell it is a linux server so use ext305:43
Nytrixsince u cant seem to mount it, try to make it ext305:44
twbDon't forget to mount NTFS filesystems with -t ntfs3g, *not* -t ntfs.05:45
CyntekNytrix, it is mounted.05:48
Cyntekim able to view it.05:48
Cyntekas ntfs05:48
Nytrixgreat05:48
Nytrix:)05:48
Cyntekthanx05:48
Cyntekwhen i run command: ls /dev/sdb505:49
Nytrixyou will still need samba i think to be able to share over a network05:49
Cyntekit shows up " yellow "05:49
CyntekYes, i can do that.05:49
CyntekNytrix, Thanks for the help05:51
Nytrixi tried05:53
Nytrixnp05:53
twbCyntek: device files are coloured yellow by default, to distinguish them from files.05:55
twbCyntek: 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
Cyntekhmm.05:56
CyntekDoes this look right: http://rafb.net/p/sVC0Mq22.html06:03

_rubenwhich part is supposed to take care of starting md raid volumes? i created 2 raid volumes using mdadm, rebooted the box, dont show up10:19
cemc_ruben: do you have a /etc/mdadm.conf file, or anything in it ?10:21
_rubennope10:22
_rubenah /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf .. had missed it at first10:23
cemcis there anything in it ?10:24
_rubenhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/122751/10:26
cemcand when you boot, there's nothing in /proc/mdstat?10:28
_rubennope .. doesnt even exist as no raid modules get loaded .. tried adding ARRAY lines to that config (based on a mdadm scan), doesnt help10:30
_rubenhmm .. mdadm itself doesnt seem to autostart either .. strange10:45
cemcwhat release are you trying this on ?10:47
_ruben8.1010:49
_rubenthe "funny" part is, i have 2 nearly identical boxes .. one works as it should, the other doesnt10:49
_rubenhmm .. 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 up10:54
cemc;)10:55
cemcdo you have autoraid on the partitions ?10:56
cemcI mean the partition types10:56
_rubenyes10:57
domasholy crap, ubuntu just freaked me out11:05
domasI 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 it11:05
domasthis looked scary11:05
cemc_ruben: the only thing I found is in /etc/udev/rules.d/85-mdadm.rules for starting up RAID11:07
cemcdomas: ubuntu iz smart :)11:08
domascemc: well, it was stupid11:10
_rubenbashcompletion is kinda handy every now and then11:10
domascemc: I was creating VG, so reusing old name didn't work :)11:10
cemc:))11:10
domasand... it picked a device that was in VG already, while there was another unassigned one11:10
domasbut still11:11
_rubencemc: adding "raid10" to /etc/initramfs/modules did the trick11:11
cemc /etc/initramfs-tools/modules ?11:15
_rubenwhich i had tried before, but the /boot partition seems to not be properly mounted always11:15
_rubenuh, yeah11:15
_rubenmemory doesnt have autocomplete :P11:15
cemc;)11:15
cemcyou added raid10 so it loads the module when booting up11:18
_rubenwhich isnt needed on the other node, there the mdadm hooks handled the inclusion of the raid10 module properly11:21
cemchm11:22
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 happens11:36
_rubencemc: it isnt listed on /etc/fstab on either boxes .. as the md's are exported over iscsi11:37
cemci see11:37

subcheeweb streaming radio13:24
subcheeI'd like to use Icecast213:24
subcheemy problem is that with Ices2 it can only play .ogg files13:24
subcheecan somebody recommend something else instead of Ices2 to play .mp3 music?13:25
domasyou know mp3 patent situation? :)13:25
mac9416_2Hello, 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
subcheeyes domas, I know :)13:26
domassubchee: so look for packages outside core repo13:27
oCean_mac9416_2: there's the cost of hardware, hosting and maintenance of course13:27
domasthough according to package description, 'icecast2' package should stream mp3 properly :)13:27
cemcmac9416_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
subcheeI've googled all the day to find a package instead of Ices2... but I couldn't :(13:27
subcheeI was thinking about to use Shoutcast (sc_server + sc_trans) but it doesn't want to start... (glibc6 is installed)13:28
mac9416_2Hmmm. 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_2I"ve looked at books I like, but I really need a quick/free howto13:31
oCean_mac9416_2: seen this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236093. Basic setup. Hardly confusing13:31
domassubchee: you can install compat libc13:31
domassubchee: then shoutcast will work :)13:31
subcheedomas: you mean "libghc6-regex-compat-prof"?13:34
domasnope13:35

domaswhich is failed dependancy?13:38
mac9416_2Thanks oCean_13:40
subcheethere 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
subcheethe .log file and the .conf file is in the same directory and the user has the right to write into the .log file13:42
domasanyway, there's nothing wrong with vorbis!! :)13:43
subcheeyeah, I know13:43

kinnazCyntek, you mount the driver to specific location after making filesystem do it if it doesnot have one14:58
kinnazthen you if you move files to that mountpoint14:58
kinnazthey will be on that new drive14:58

drbobboh and i had to abandon that old xeon box for the time being, i installed ubuntu but it turned out unbootable20:52
drbobbit seems grub has a problem with hdd's hung on addon controller cards20:53
drbobbbtw has anyone tried grub2? is it ready to become the default any time soon?20:55
Titan8990drbobb, I have had no problems20:55
Titan8990drbobb, with my 3com RAID card20:55
Titan8990drbobb, are you sure your card is supported by linux kernel?20:55
drbobbTitan8990: i have no problems most of the time as well20:55
drbobbTitan8990: pretty much sure, i found a redhat9 running on that machine when i was given it20:56
Titan8990drbobb, 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 server20:56
drbobbdrive letters?20:56
Titan8990drbobb, device names20:57
Titan8990drbobb, /dev/sda1 would become /dev/sdb1 in the middle of copying something....20:57
Titan8990drbobb, it may have been a problem with the board actually, because sometimes the BIOS didn't even read the extra hdds20:58
drbobbthe installer saw mine as /dev/sda and had no problem setting it up with lvm, partitions & filesystems20:58
drbobband it's the single hdd on the system20:58
drbobbnow boot hangs on grub loading, or whatever the message is20:59
drbobbbefore any menu appears that is21:00
redbluefishI 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
cemcredbluefish: crashes like how? kernel panic, freeze, some error msg ?21:26

JanCdrbobb: I _think_ you could look for the 'LM' flag to check if a system is 64-bits, but I'm not sure...21:37
drbobbJanC: thx that might be it21:46
drbobb(btw there really ought to be a `man cpuinfo')21:47
Deepswrite it!21:48

markyou know how much fun doing partitioning in the ubuntu installer is on a box with 48 disks, over a 9600bps serial connection?22:25

MystHey 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
agentkMyst: 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 you23:31
goofeyMyst: that's a big question - what do you want to backup - files or the whole filesystem?23:31
agentkMyst: I havnt tried etckeeper yet though23:32
agentkMyst: I use backuppc for my server backups23:32
tangentcollisionI 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 running23:32
goofeyMyst: rsnapshot is also usefull for file backup23:33
goofeyMyst: dd is my favorite for filesystem (partition) backup23:33
Mystbasically 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
Mysti dont think the /etc copier program would work because i have a samba server running with shares elsewhere...23:35
goofeyMyst: I think rsnapshot is what you want23:36
goofeyMyst: you can specify what files to copy and at what intervals23:36
goofeyMyst: and it keeps the directory structure intact on the files you do copy23:36
Mystok so if i setup another server i can use the rsnapshot to bring it to the current config of the other server?23:37
goofeyMyst: and it uses rsync and hard links on preserve space23:37
goofeywell, rsnapshot maeks the backup23:37
goofeyyou restore the backup by hand i think23:37
goofeybut that's not hard using rysnc23:37
goofeyin this case, restoring to a differnet computer is all23:38
goofeyrather than the original23:38
Mystsounds good ill take a look at it...23:38
goofeyMyst: hope it helps23:39
Mystgoofey, thx... if you have any websites that are good tutorials thatd help23:39
goofeyMyst: this is what I used: http://www.rsnapshot.org/howto/23:41
mgolischare there any crash dump features to be included in the comming release?23:42
