| giovani | milligan_: sure it's not cutoff? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| giovani | (the process name) | 00:01 |
| milligan_ | nope | 00:03 |
| milligan_ | How would I check that? :)( | 00:03 |
| giovani | uh ... you'd go into /usr/sbin/apache and look if any of the utilities start with "log"? | 00:03 |
| VK7HSE | I'm having some trouble with uscan, I have squid 2.7 (on server) and I'm attempting to use uscan to update a source for another application. here is the error... http://paste.ubuntu.com/124058/ any clues as I've yet to find an answer on google! | 00:03 |
| milligan_ | giovani, ah, like that .. I don't even have a /usb/sbin/apache .. I have a /usr/sbin/apache2/ though | 00:04 |
| giovani | try using a process viewer like htop | 00:05 |
| giovani | it allows you to scroll over | 00:05 |
| giovani | ah | 00:05 |
| giovani | well some googling has turned up that this might be a trojan | 00:06 |
| giovani | http://apis.studio707.net.my/wp-content/log.txt | 00:06 |
| giovani | not a good sign, my friend | 00:06 |
| giovani | well, not a trojan, a worm of some kind | 00:07 |
| milligan_ | hmm | 00:08 |
| giovani | pretty bad news | 00:08 |
| giovani | that server should be quarantined immediately | 00:08 |
| giovani | if you do a packet capture, I'm sure it's actively attacking | 00:08 |
| milligan_ | I killed off the process, so it's not doing anything at the moment | 00:08 |
| giovani | it may respawn | 00:09 |
| giovani | depending on how it started | 00:09 |
| giovani | and there's probably other stuff installed already | 00:09 |
| milligan_ | question is .. how did the damn thing get in there.. All my users are jailed .. there are no accounts on there that I don't recognize .. | 00:09 |
| giovani | this script seems to have an irc c&c server | 00:09 |
| milligan_ | guess there might be a roundcube bug or something | 00:09 |
| giovani | well I'd be looking for this file | 00:09 |
| milligan_ | log.txt ? | 00:09 |
| giovani | there was a roundcube vuln a month or so ago | 00:09 |
| giovani | you patch that | 00:09 |
| giovani | milligan_: no, I'd be doing text searches to find the contents of the file, search on something unique | 00:10 |
| milligan_ | Nope, don't think so | 00:10 |
| milligan_ | doing a search for index.php?pg= ... | 00:10 |
| giovani | well don't run alpha code like roudcube | 00:10 |
| giovani | I'd do a text search on /usr/sbin/apache/log | 00:11 |
| giovani | because we KNOW that's in the file, the version on your server could be modified from the one I just found | 00:11 |
| milligan_ | searching for that as well | 00:11 |
| JanC | giovani: it doesn't have to be there literally | 00:11 |
| giovani | JanC: it is in the version we found, it's unlikely that that has been changed versus other parts of the file | 00:12 |
| milligan_ | I suppose the script could be included from a remote location... | 00:12 |
| giovani | this is why netflow, mod_security, and full packet capture logging is helpful | 00:13 |
| giovani | you also sifting through your access logs? | 00:13 |
| milligan_ | ah | 00:15 |
| milligan_ | there we go | 00:15 |
| milligan_ | phpshell in the roundcube logs dir. | 00:16 |
| giovani | hah | 00:16 |
| giovani | I'd highly recommend a more mature webmail platform | 00:16 |
| giovani | roundcube has had a lot of problems | 00:16 |
| Nafallo | what else is there that look as good to the end users? | 00:17 |
| giovani | well, a) security in this case has to trump pretty uis | 00:17 |
| giovani | but, there is atmail | 00:17 |
| giovani | or some creative themes for horde imp | 00:17 |
| Nafallo | any of them not written in php? :-) | 00:18 |
| giovani | not that I know of -- although php has nothing to do with these security problems | 00:19 |
| Nafallo | I've heard that before, and I do not agree. | 00:20 |
| Nafallo | way to late for me to defend that statement though. | 00:20 |
| giovani | these are not php vulns, these are pieces of shitty coding | 00:21 |
| giovani | anyway ... you're the one with a requirement for a pretty ui | 00:21 |
| giovani | hardly a security perspective | 00:21 |
| Nafallo | no. my mum is. | 00:21 |
| giovani | tell your "mum" to use gmail | 00:22 |
| Nafallo | no way what so ever. | 00:22 |
| giovani | haha | 00:22 |
| Nafallo | mum actually got more mail accounts on my server than I do. | 00:23 |
| Nafallo | o_O | 00:23 |
| giovani | sounds like she should be using something more robust than webmail | 00:24 |
| Nafallo | I totally win on aliases though :-) | 00:24 |
| Nafallo | she is. I'm not hosting webmail at the moment :-) | 00:25 |
| giovani | no problem then | 00:25 |
| Nafallo | she has requested it, and I'm rolling it into my new system. | 00:25 |
| milligan_ | giovani, thanks for helping out mate .. I believe I found their way in, and I've patched it :) | 00:36 |
| milligan_ | giovani, http://www.milw0rm.com/exploits/7553 <- There's what they used. | 00:41 |
| giovani | milligan_: yeah, that was patched at the end of december | 00:54 |
| milligan_ | not on my server,hehehe. | 00:54 |
| giovani | milligan_: I'd sign up for their RSS feed if I were you | 00:54 |
| giovani | 0.2 beta is also depricated now | 00:54 |
| giovani | 0.2 final is out | 00:54 |
| milligan_ | yeah | 00:54 |
| milligan_ | I'm running stable | 00:54 |
| giovani | the security vuln was fixed in stable iirc | 00:55 |

| axisys | when I insert my second sata disk in x2100 I get this message http://pastebin.com/f440500f0 | 01:09 |
| axisys | what is that mean? fdisk -l shows only one disk | 01:09 |
| axisys | i have two disks in there now | 01:09 |
| giovani | axisys: it means hotplugging may not be supporteD? | 01:11 |
| axisys | here is my lshw report http://pastebin.com/f4ab4d135 .. i see only one disk | 01:12 |
| axisys | giovani: so I need to reboot? | 01:12 |
| axisys | giovani: is there any way to enable hotplug btw ? | 01:12 |
| giovani | axisys: generically when you want to insert new hardware like a hard drive ... yes, you have to reboot | 01:12 |
| giovani | axisys: that would require a special drive for your card, afaik, and the card would have to support it | 01:12 |
| axisys | giovani: in solaris i just run devfsadm .. hoping somethin similar | 01:12 |
| giovani | well solaris probably has a driver for your sun box | 01:13 |
| giovani | 01:13 | |
| giovani | for your specific hardware | 01:13 |
| axisys | giovani: ok .. thnx | 01:13 |
| giovani | http://docs.sun.com/source/819-3722-19/index.html#21924 | 01:13 |
| giovani | your own company's docs say it's not even supported in solaris | 01:14 |
| axisys | giovani: i dont work for sun | 01:14 |
| giovani | anyway, this is a common practice | 01:14 |
| giovani | yes, but this is #ubuntu-server, not #sun, so, I'd expect that you'd have looked at your hardware's docs first | 01:14 |
| giovani | I didn't mean that you worked for sun, I meant, this is not an ubuntu-specific issue | 01:15 |
| axisys | i usually get more help from ubuntu.. so decided to install that over solaris | 01:15 |
| axisys | giovani: ofcourse it is not ubuntu specific.. just learning.. :-) | 01:16 |
| JanC | IIRC there is a way to tell the kernel to rescan for disks | 01:16 |
| giovani | ok, well in general, if something hardware-related doesn't work, go to the source first | 01:16 |
| axisys | giovani: thnx | 01:17 |
| axisys | JanC: that would be nice.. | 01:17 |
| JanC | but IIRC there is no guarantee that it works, or that it doesn't blow up your server... :P | 01:17 |
| axisys | hehe | 01:18 |
| JanC | also, you should never use it while other disks are mounted, which makes it pretty useless in most cases | 01:19 |
| axisys | JanC: i am wondering if i could have use hardware raid instead of jbod like i am doing now | 01:20 |
| JanC | hardware raid? | 01:20 |
| axisys | JanC: i think this box, x2100 has hardware raid available | 01:21 |
| JanC | well, maybe Sun ships real hardware RAID, I don't know | 01:21 |
| axisys | checking | 01:21 |
| axisys | looking at the handbook | 01:22 |
| axisys | http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/validateUser.do?target=Systems/SunFireX2100/SunFireX2100 | 01:22 |
| JanC | I don't have Sun server (meaning i can't read that page) | 01:23 |
| bcurtiswx | Anyone, i installed an ubuntu mail server through the ubuntu guide. Using dovecot, I seem to get the messages (as they are sitting in /var/mail/<my username>) but i can't retrieve them using a GUI (like squirrelmail or evolution).. can anyone help me find out why (i've searched the internet with no help, and logs don't show any errors). | 01:32 |
| JanC | which guide? | 01:38 |
| bcurtiswx | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer | 01:39 |
| giovani | well did you configure dovecot? | 01:39 |
| bcurtiswx | yes | 01:39 |
| giovani | so it's running on imap/pop3 ports? | 01:40 |
| bcurtiswx | yup | 01:40 |
| giovani | and what happens when you try and log in? | 01:40 |
| bcurtiswx | http://www.zoneedit.com/smtp.html | 01:40 |
| bcurtiswx | that works great when i inser tinfo | 01:40 |
| bcurtiswx | i can log on fine | 01:40 |
| giovani | smtp != pop3/imap | 01:40 |
| giovani | they're deivered by separate programs | 01:41 |
| bcurtiswx | well that tests to see if mail servers working in the first place | 01:41 |
| giovani | it says smtp.html -- I presume it's testing smtp | 01:41 |
| giovani | not imap/pop | 01:41 |
| bcurtiswx | yes, sorry for that being confusing | 01:41 |
| bcurtiswx | that was more of a side note | 01:41 |
| axisys | i rebooted the x2100 and now I see both disks .. and fdisk -l shows this http://pastebin.com/d3b4626a9 | 01:41 |
| axisys | how do I mirror the second disk to the first? | 01:41 |
| giovani | axisys: mirror? you want to do software raid? | 01:41 |
| JanC | bcurtiswx: where does dovecot look for mails? | 01:42 |
| JanC | is tha tthe same place as where your MDA delivers them? | 01:43 |
| giovani | well first we need to see what happens when he tries to connect to dovecot | 01:43 |
| giovani | we don't even know if it's running | 01:43 |
| JanC | true | 01:43 |
| giovani | since he's just talked about checking smtp | 01:43 |
| axisys | giovani: yes please | 01:43 |
| bcurtiswx | Feb 27 20:34:38 weather dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<bcurtis>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS | 01:44 |
| giovani | axisys: you'll obviously need to start fresh -- as software raid has to be done before installation on top of that medium, unless you're raiding two non-OS disks | 01:44 |
| bcurtiswx | good enough proof its working?? | 01:44 |
| giovani | bcurtiswx: running, yes -- but clearly misconfigured if it's not giving you your mail | 01:44 |
| axisys | giovani: interesting! on solaris I could just mirror the second and a reboot would activate the metadisk | 01:45 |
| JanC | giovani: he can setup a degraded raid1 on the second disk, format it, copy everything over, fix fstab etc., then after rebooting and everthing works add the first disk to the raid too ;) | 01:45 |
| bcurtiswx | giovani: ok based on the guide listed above.. do i have to go in line by line of dovecot.conf to get it setup right.. | 01:45 |
| bcurtiswx | the guide doesn't go that in detail i guess is a more general question | 01:46 |
| axisys | JanC: that would be ideal for me | 01:46 |
| JanC | axisys: considering that your system is a new install, just start over again, it will be faster... | 01:46 |
| axisys | JanC: if i start over how would I do the mirror ? build with LVM option? | 01:47 |
| JanC | you don't need lvm | 01:47 |
| axisys | JanC: when i was installing i did not see any other option for raid | 01:48 |
| JanC | so do it manually from another virtual console than the installer runs on? | 01:49 |
| JanC | and carefully read the mdadm manual | 01:49 |
| axisys | JanC: would be nice if there is a guide somewhere.. | 01:49 |
| giovani | JanC: really? that sounds horribly messy | 01:52 |
| giovani | axisys: there are raid options in the installer | 01:53 |
| giovani | but JanC seems to know more about md than I do -- I stay away from software raid | 01:53 |
| axisys | giovani: yeah lspci shows that too.. i guess that would be simpler... even though need a fresh install | 01:55 |
| JanC | if that hardware raid is reliable (and a real hardware raid) it might be better to use that | 01:56 |
| axisys | JanC: it is nvidia nvraid .. not sure how reliable that is | 01:57 |
| axisys | 00:06.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 IDE (rev f2) | 01:57 |
| axisys | 00:07.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller (rev f3) | 01:57 |
| axisys | 00:08.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller (rev f3) | 01:57 |
| bcurtiswx | giovani: yes i am an idiot... i missed 3 settings in dovecot.conf... thanks for the help.. sorry for being.. "that guy" lol.. cheers | 01:58 |
| JanC | nvidia? that sounds like some sort of fakeraid, but I might be wrong ;) | 01:58 |
| JanC | are you sure that's the raid controller BTW? | 01:59 |
| axisys | JanC: yes | 02:00 |
| axisys | JanC: http://docs.sun.com/source/820-6350-10/chapter1.html#d0e1261 | 02:00 |
| axisys | JanC: http://docs.sun.com/source/820-6350-10/chapter1.html#d0e500 | 02:01 |
| JanC | I'm almost sure that's some sort of "fakeraid", so linux software raid (md) is probably the better choice | 02:09 |
| giovani | yeah, I'm pretty sure nvidia raid is fake | 02:10 |
| axisys | well then I should start looking for a software raid howto | 02:39 |
| axisys | i am glad i asked about the nvraid or i almost took the wrong path :-) | 02:40 |
| JanC | this might be useful reading: http://linux-raid.osdl.org/index.php/Linux_Raid | 02:47 |
| axisys | JanC: thnx | 03:00 |
| JanC_ | there is some info on mdadm on the Ubuntu wiki too, but not really a howto AFAICS | 03:01 |
| JanC_ | or maybe there is | 03:01 |

| JanC | bah, crappy ADSL connection | 03:05 |

| JanC | I learned most of what I use from the man pages though ツ | 03:06 |
| JanC | well, man-pages + trial & error | 03:08 |
| axisys | JanC: so u use mdadm ? | 03:08 |
| JanC | yes, but I don't have a lot of experience with it really | 03:11 |
| JanC | except that it saved me a some work once (one of the 2 brand-new disks in my raid1 failed after a couple of weeks, before I'd set up backups ;) ) | 03:14 |
| JanC | (this is on a desktop) | 03:15 |
| JanC | well, s/desktop/low-end workstation/ | 03:17 |
| JanC | it has some cool features that you won't find on most desktop motherboard ツ | 03:18 |
| axisys | JanC: ok .. still reading this http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-5.html | 03:19 |
| axisys | JanC: pretty good writing.. then will read your two links | 03:20 |
| JanC | axisys: remember that you need "mdadm", not what they say about "raidtools"; that HOWTO seems a bit outdated | 03:23 |
| JanC | 'man mdadm' is probably more useful... | 03:24 |
| axisys | JanC: i am just trying to get an understanding.. your first link claims to be more up-to-date.. | 03:25 |
| axisys | ok | 03:25 |
| axisys | how can I tell from this X4100 's layout if I am using hardware raid or disk http://pastebin.com/d1df57f3c ? | 04:10 |
| axisys | i guess according to smartctl i am using the hardware raid http://pastebin.com/f2eb79df7 | 04:17 |
| JanC | I might be wrong, but AFAIK LSI MegaRAID is fakeraid too | 04:18 |
| jmarsden | MegaRAID is a whole range of devices, many of which are high end SCSI real RAID controllers. | 04:19 |
| axisys | JanC: lol | 04:19 |
| JanC | jmarsden: ah, okay | 04:19 |
| JanC | jmarsden: I wish manufacturers would not re-ab-use marketing names like that :-( | 04:21 |
| jmarsden | Yep... you just have to go down a level and use model numbers... but then you get Linksys and the "WRT54G" model, which has changed completely about 5 or 6 times by now...! | 04:22 |
| JanC | jmarsden: yeah, that's a really complicated case, because they also sell devices that are like older WRT54G revisions under a slightly other model number etc. ;) | 04:25 |
| axisys | JanC: this I can definitely follow http://kuparinen.org/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/raid.html :-) | 04:27 |

| Dan722 | anyone here? | 15:38 |
| kookaburra | Yep | 15:38 |
| Dan722 | hi, i need help setting up my ubuntu server box =/ | 15:39 |
| Dan722 | and so i figured after google this is the next best place to go. | 15:39 |
| kookaburra | What, exactly, do you need? | 15:39 |
| Dan722 | i amtrying to setup a host serve to hst adomain | 15:39 |
| Dan722 | host* | 15:39 |
| Dan722 | i bought a domain, i just need to setup the server part. | 15:39 |
| kookaburra | OK, so you trying to host a single site on a your server? | 15:40 |
| Dan722 | yep | 15:40 |
| kookaburra | OK, and what part are you having trouble with? | 15:40 |
| Dan722 | umm.... i tryed a tutorial but it wasnt very clear | 15:40 |
| Dan722 | so, like everything from installation of ubuntu server | 15:41 |
| kookaburra | What part? | 15:41 |
| kookaburra | This isn't like flipping a light switch, it's kind of a multi-part process... | 15:41 |
| Dan722 | getting the programs i need to host a server effectively | 15:41 |
| kookaburra | OK, let's start with the easiest part first | 15:41 |
| kookaburra | Do you have Apache installed? | 15:41 |
| Dan722 | we just started reinstalling ubuntu server 8.10 | 15:42 |
| Dan722 | the tutorial i tried sorta screwed the first install up | 15:42 |
| kookaburra | OK, let's go up a level then | 15:42 |
| Dan722 | :( | 15:42 |
| kookaburra | Do you have a working copy of Uubntu? | 15:43 |
| Dan722 | yep | 15:43 |
| kookaburra | OK, and now, do you have a copy of Apache running on the server? | 15:43 |
| Dan722 | we're installing the server on the box right now | 15:43 |
| kookaburra | So then you don't have a working copy of Ubuntu? | 15:44 |
| Dan722 | well, we have the cd, thats what i thought you meant | 15:44 |
| Dan722 | but we're reinstalling right now | 15:44 |
| kookaburra | OK, let's get that installed first | 15:44 |
| kookaburra | What problems are you having with the install? | 15:45 |
| Dan722 | none, i just need to know programs i need to host a domain on it | 15:45 |
| Dan722 | after i install | 15:45 |
| kookaburra | Well, that sort of depends on what you'e going to be doing with the domain... | 15:46 |
| Dan722 | getting a basic html/css website up | 15:46 |
| kookaburra | ok, that helps | 15:47 |
| Dan722 | :) | 15:48 |
| kookaburra | As far as programs I would use: | 15:48 |
| kookaburra | Apache - For actually serving the site | 15:49 |
| kookaburra | BIND9 - For DNS | 15:49 |
| kookaburra | Technically that's all you need to host the site | 15:49 |
| kookaburra | You'll probably want some additional features, so for reporting you might check out Webalizer | 15:50 |
| Dan722 | how about mail servers? | 15:50 |
| Dan722 | well. dan is now talking with his mother. | 15:50 |
| Dan722 | =P | 15:50 |
| Dan722 | so scratch the the mail part. | 15:50 |
| kookaburra | I'd guess that you're going to want some sort of FTP on that rascal so I'd stick ProFTPD on there too | 15:51 |
| Dan722 | okay | 15:51 |

| kookaburra | As far as basic setup, getting those four on there will get you up and running. | 15:51 |
| Dan722 | alright. how do we actually get the domain to 'point' to our server | 15:52 |
| kookaburra | I'd recommend using someone else's HOWTOs on them since I'm not going to re-write one here in the channel. | 15:52 |
| kookaburra | DNS. | 15:52 |
| Dan722 | quite. | 15:52 |

| Dan722 | you rock. | 15:52 |
| kookaburra | Now, I don't think anyone in here is averse to helping if you run into problems | 15:53 |
| kookaburra | BUT | 15:53 |
| kookaburra | rtfm applies. | 15:53 |
| Dan722 | averse? | 15:53 |
| kookaburra | No one in here is against helping you. | 15:54 |
| kookaburra | In short - don't ask for help on that's something clearly covered in a HOWTO | 15:54 |
| Dan722 | alright. | 15:54 |
| kookaburra | But if you run into problems don't be a stranger. | 15:54 |
| Dan722 | so work with what i have until i really get stuck. then come running for help? | 15:54 |
| kookaburra | Pretty much. | 15:54 |
| kookaburra | Best way to learn is to get yourself unstuck. | 15:54 |
| Dan722 | alright. will do :P | 15:54 |
| kookaburra | If you come back and say "Well on line x of tutorial Y it says to replace IP address z.z.z.z with my IP, what do I put in" you're not going to learn anything | 15:55 |
| Dan722 | yeah i follow. | 15:55 |

| Dan722 | any suggestions? | 16:42 |
| Dan722 | ubottu? | 16:42 |
| Dan722 | =[ | 16:47 |
| giovani | Dan722: sounds like the settings you're using are wrong | 16:47 |
| Dan722 | i have no idea. | 16:47 |
| giovani | if they were right, they'd work | 16:47 |
| Dan722 | i have no idea about any of this. | 16:47 |
| Dan722 | clearly. | 16:47 |
| giovani | well, this is not a place where we can tell you what your IP settings should be | 16:47 |
| giovani | you have to go to your ISP, or your Net Admin | 16:47 |
| Dan722 | yeah i know. | 16:47 |
| giovani | or whomever gave you that information | 16:47 |
| Dan722 | *back to google* | 16:47 |
| giovani | no | 16:47 |
| Dan722 | :P | 16:47 |
| giovani | google cannot tell you what your IP settings are | 16:47 |
| Dan722 | hey google is a diety! | 16:48 |
| giovani | it's either your ISP, or your Net Admin | 16:48 |
| giovani | whomever runs your network | 16:48 |
| Dan722 | don't question it's ability. | 16:48 |
| giovani | are you trolling? | 16:48 |

| ircmaxell | Anyone have much luck with IBM serveRaid controllers? I can't get more than about 1MBps to a 1E0 6 drive array in anything but Centos/RHEL (I get about 80MBps on Centos) | 17:57 |
| giovani | well ... you probably want to look into what driver centos/rhel is using | 17:57 |
| giovani | clearly it's gonna be a driver issue | 17:57 |
| ircmaxell | Fair enough, I was just shocked at such a big difference (FreeBSD couldn't exceed 128kbps) | 17:58 |
| giovani | well did you even go to IBM to talk about linux drivers? did they supply one? | 17:58 |
| ircmaxell | They don't supply drivers except a binary driver for RHEL | 17:58 |
| giovani | some hardware out of the box will not play nicely with default drivers | 17:59 |
| giovani | well then it sounds like you either need to use RHEL or you need to get better hardware that doesn't limit support that way | 17:59 |
| ircmaxell | quite fair enough... Too bad too, cause these boards are really nice... | 17:59 |
| genii | If there is an rpm driver install file, conceivable to use alien to convert the package | 17:59 |
| ircmaxell | I'll look into it... | 18:00 |
| ircmaxell | Thanks for the direction... | 18:00 |
| giovani | gets messy if the kernel is much different | 18:04 |
| giovani | but yea | 18:04 |

| storrgie | just configured a server, i was going to use webmin... but if i remember right there is something new that works right with ubuntu from the repos | 18:50 |
| storrgie | anyone know what it is? | 18:50 |
| JanC | ebox | 18:50 |
| JanC | webmin is icky | 18:50 |
| storrgie | is it FOSS? | 18:52 |
| storrgie | its broken in 8.10? | 18:52 |
| storrgie | how would I add the key through command line? | 18:59 |
| axisys | i have two interfaces. so to avoid i turn off router option on dhcpclient.conf file .. now to add default gw I added this for one of the interface in interfaces file like this "post-up 'route add default gw 192.168.1.1 dev eth1'" but that did not add the gw.. is my syntax wrong? | 19:01 |
| axisys | to avoid two default gw that is | 19:01 |
| giovani | axisys: you don't put '' around the post-up command to run, afaik | 19:09 |
| giovani | it's just "post-up commandlinehere" | 19:10 |
| giovani | but read the manpage | 19:10 |
| axisys | man interfaces dont have quotes either.. thnx .. let me retry | 19:10 |
| axisys | cool! that worked.. thnx | 19:13 |
| axisys | how do I make a virtual interface out of two physical interface ? so I get increase bandwidth and redundancy .. in solaris i just say dladm create-aggr -d eth0 -d eth1 1 and the aggr1 is the my interface | 19:14 |
| giovani | it's called nic bonding | 19:15 |
| giovani | 19:15 | |
| axisys | giovani: ok .. terminology is my first barrier :-) | 19:15 |
| giovani | it's called that on most OSes :) | 19:16 |
| giovani | bsd/linux/and I've seen it mentioned in solaris as well | 19:16 |
| giovani | or nic teaming sometimes | 19:16 |
| axisys | giovani: this looks really simple http://koo.fi/tech/2008/08/02/nic-bonding-with-ubuntu/ | 19:18 |
| giovani | yep, it's not complex | 19:18 |
| giovani | but you should understand the different bonding modes | 19:18 |
| axisys | so this is giving me redundancy only or increased bandwidth as well ? | 19:18 |
| giovani | read above | 19:18 |
| axisys | giovani: :-) | 19:19 |
| giovani | http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/marcelo/linux-2.4/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt | 19:19 |
| giovani | good mini tutorial -- near the end it explains the different modes | 19:19 |
| giovani | wtf is wrong with this table | 19:20 |
| giovani | it randomly decides to not recognize the hard drive | 19:20 |
| giovani | tablet* | 19:20 |
| axisys | giovani: so ubuntu runs on tablet ? | 19:21 |
| giovani | ubuntu is just a distribution | 19:21 |
| giovani | a tablet is just a formfactor | 19:22 |
| giovani | so ... the answer is yes, but why wouldn't it? | 19:22 |
| axisys | giovani: i like that answer.. i am going to use that .. hehe | 19:23 |
| giovani | ? | 19:23 |
| giovani | the point being, other than a touchscreen, there's zero difference between a laptop and a tablet | 19:23 |
| axisys | giovani: so touchscreen works? | 19:25 |
| giovani | with some work, yes | 19:25 |
| giovani | but once again, because ubuntu is just a distribution, driver availability isn't specific to ubuntu, so, it's more of a linux question | 19:26 |
| axisys | giovani: did u need to install some specific driver after the initial install? hope my curiosity is not too annoying | 19:27 |
| giovani | yeah, but, I don't remember, it was a few years ago, and most of my tablet time is now in Windows 7, because of much better support for handwriting, etc | 19:28 |
| giovani | however, I'm sure ubuntu has been working on its tablet support with their MID/UMPC editio | 19:36 |
| giovani | edition* | 19:36 |
| axisys | giovani: hey i posted a question couple weeks ago on migrating my ubuntu on my laptop to a bigger disk .. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2009-February/175206.html | 19:51 |
| axisys | giovani: can u comment on any of the steps ? | 19:51 |
| giovani | why not just image the drive? | 19:52 |
| giovani | and resize the partition | 19:52 |
| axisys | i received enough answers .. and so far i am going w/ original steps and may be archiving the /etc dir as well and restore from there.. | 19:52 |
| axisys | i have no space to save a 40gb disk image | 19:52 |
| giovani | haha | 19:52 |
| giovani | are you using 40GB? | 19:53 |
| axisys | giovani: nah ... http://pastebin.com/f3552b9ff | 19:53 |
| giovani | archiving the etc directory? oh boy, you just want to mess up your file structure | 19:53 |
| axisys | giovani: not restoring .. but pick stuff from there.. | 19:54 |
| giovani | yeah, this just sounds like a mess, but ok | 19:54 |
| axisys | giovani: :-( .. i guess i should then by a usb to ata cable and hang the new disk from my laptop ? | 19:55 |
| axisys | s/by/buy/ | 19:55 |
| giovani | how would that help? | 19:55 |
| axisys | giovani: that way push the whole disk content thru usb to new disk | 19:55 |
| giovani | but that's not the issue | 19:55 |
| axisys | new disk is 250gb | 19:55 |
| giovani | do you not have other computers or something? | 19:56 |
| axisys | giovani: i have another computer w/ about 25g avail | 19:56 |
| axisys | running ubuntu server | 19:56 |
| axisys | on same subnet w/ two network cards ;-) | 19:57 |
| giovani | yeah, do this however you like | 19:57 |
| giovani | this is why I keep a few TB available as a SAN all the time | 19:57 |
| giovani | just dd an image off | 19:57 |
| axisys | giovani: i have enough space at work.. i can dump the iso there | 19:57 |
| maDChoPR | i have a question regarding bacula ... i'm wondering if it's possible to set up a backup system while my systems are getting dynamic addresses? (even the server gets a dynamic address... currently) | 19:59 |
| giovani | maDChoPR: sounds like a question for #bacula | 19:59 |
| maDChoPR | yea, i asked earlier and no response. | 19:59 |
| maDChoPR | i'll rephrase it though | 19:59 |
| maDChoPR | thanks giovani | 19:59 |
