| moz | does no one know anything about this? sorry i've posted this question but im new and totally stuck | 00:17 |
|---|---|---|
| moz_ | my laptop is making a really loud continious bleep sound, after a couple of minutes of loading, is this over heating? only have heard it since i installed ubuntu server | 01:23 |
| moz_ | earlier today | 01:24 |
| moz_ | and it wont stop till i shut it down | 01:24 |
| Stargazer | I'm installing Ubuntu server and it's asking what the server will be for. I'm only going to use it to script some programs and compile them, what do i set the server as ? | 01:27 |
| moz_ | i dont have permissions for anything | 01:30 |
| moz_ | i cant even create a new file, says "cannot open swap file for <file> recovery impossible" | 01:30 |
| hads | Stargazer: Just select nothing | 01:30 |
| moz_ | whats happened to my installation, i dont have permissions for any file | 01:32 |
| moz_ | even with sudo | 01:32 |
| moz_ | ok i think i've managed to fix that | 02:02 |
| moz_ | im in kernel 2.6.27-11-server which i have installed | 02:03 |
| moz_ | which is meant to automatically provide support for wireless cards that use the RTL8781 drivers | 02:03 |
| moz_ | *RTL8187 i mean | 02:04 |
| moz_ | i've added the line 'rtl8187' to /etc/modules, and after restarting, when plugging in my usb wireless stick, i get a short high piitched noise instead of nothing as before, but im still not seeing it, i guess it should appear in 'ifconfig' as wlan0 but it doesnt, any idea why this is? | 02:05 |
| moz_ | the light on the wireless stick is not on | 02:05 |
| moz_ | please can someone assist me on this, really quite stuck, need to get my internet back working on my laptop | 02:12 |
| moz_ | im using the F5D7050 USB dongle i found this blog to help : http://linuxsoftwareblog.com/blog/?p=30 | 02:15 |
| twb | moz_: is this related to ubuntu *servers*? | 02:28 |
| moz_ | twb: yes because i got it working on ubuntu previously | 02:28 |
| Stargazer | Is there a command available to check on battery level ? | 02:29 |
| Stargazer | -on +the* | 02:29 |
| twb | Stargazer: the raw data is in /sys/class/power_supply/ | 02:29 |
| twb | Stargazer: e.g. sh -c 'cd /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0 && echo \ $((100 * `cat charge_now` / `cat charge_full`))%' | 02:29 |
| Stargazer | You remembered that, no, you _KNEW_ all that ? | 02:30 |
| twb | Stargazer: all what? | 02:31 |
| Stargazer | All that command. | 02:31 |
| Stargazer | There an easier way to check ? like battery -% | 02:32 |
| Stargazer | 'battery -%' * | 02:32 |
| twb | Stargazer: well, just write that line into a file | 02:32 |
| twb | Stargazer: but I imagine there are packages to do it for you | 02:32 |
| Stargazer | Oh, about that. | 02:33 |
| twb | Note that my line above assumes you only have one battery. | 02:33 |
| Stargazer | Ubuntu Server didn't connect to my router when i was installing. | 02:33 |
| p_quarles | Stargazer: acpi -t will give you battery info on many systems | 02:33 |
| twb | p_quarles: thanks, that'd be one of those packages that I forgot the names of :-) | 02:33 |
| Stargazer | ... how do i connect ubuntu server to my router ? | 02:36 |
| p_quarles | Stargazer: with an ethernet cable? if it doesn't get an ip address automatically, you'll need to start looking for error messages | 02:37 |
| Stargazer | Where should i look for the errors, on startup ? | 02:37 |
| p_quarles | run 'sudo dhclient' | 02:38 |
| Stargazer | 'egrep: /etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory;' | 02:39 |
| Stargazer | For the most part that's all. ^ | 02:41 |
| p_quarles | interesting; what's the result of ls -l /etc/resolv.conf ? | 02:41 |
| Stargazer | -rw-r--r-- root root 46 2009-03-17 21:39 /etc.resolv.conf | 02:42 |
| p_quarles | well then it's lying | 02:43 |
| Stargazer | Bug, maybe ? (8.10) | 02:44 |
| twb | I blame NetworkManager | 02:44 |
| twb | In my experience, it is the root cause of all network problems. | 02:44 |
| twb | *ALL* of them! | 02:44 |
| * twb smashes through a wall | 02:44 | |
| p_quarles | Stargazer: what it's telling you doesn't make sense; I've got no clue; best bet here is to idle until someone who does answers | 02:45 |
| p_quarles | twb: +1 | 02:45 |
| * Stargazer will soon begin to rot. | 02:45 | |
| twb | Issues like "I installed a NIS client as normal on my new Ubuntu desktop and now my machine takes half an hour to boot." | 02:46 |
| twb | Yes, that's right, kids, NetworkManager was trying to use NIS to find out who owned itself! | 02:46 |
| Stargazer | Mind***~ | 02:48 |
| Stargazer | So, um, i use 'sudo su' and do 'dhclient' and that file(/etc/resolv.conf) now exists in it's all power sight. | 02:50 |
| p_quarles | "sudo su" is something that works but isn't right; please use sudo -i | 02:52 |
| p_quarles | because at least people QA that | 02:53 |
| Stargazer | What does 'QA' mean ? | 02:53 |
| p_quarles | quality assurance | 02:55 |
| Stargazer | Ah. | 02:55 |
| p_quarles | as far as I know, chaining sudo and su isn't supported by anyone | 02:55 |
| hads | sudo -s would be the equivilent | 02:55 |
| p_quarles | and sudo has its own options for opening shells | 02:55 |
| p_quarles | hads: that too | 02:55 |
| hads | sudo -i would be sudo su - | 02:56 |
| hads | (just to be pedantic) :) | 02:56 |
| moz_ | how do i check if my wireless usb stick is installed? | 02:56 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | if a usb port is full, its probably 'installed' : | 02:56 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | :P | 02:56 |
| p_quarles | hads: yes, you're absolutely right; I just prefer sudo -i / su - :) | 02:56 |
| moz_ | Kamping_Kaiser: what do you mean ? | 02:58 |
| twb | sudo su is wrong; it should be 'sudo su -' | 02:58 |
| p_quarles | moz_: iwconfig | 02:58 |
| Stargazer | Either way, '/etc/resolv.conf' now exists. so, um, no "errors" as far as i can tell. | 02:59 |
| hads | twb: We just had this discussion :) | 02:59 |
| p_quarles | twb: the first preserves the user environment; the second (better imo) switches to root's environment | 02:59 |
| moz_ | oh i've got a wlan0, i guess that means installed | 02:59 |
| twb | Right. | 02:59 |
| twb | Otherwise root shits all over your e.g. .aptitude/config | 02:59 |
| hads | See above, sudo -(i|s) | 03:00 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | twb, more important - it mods your .vimrc! :O | 03:00 |
| twb | Kamping_Kaiser: I wouldn't know about that. | 03:00 |
| twb | I use vi. | 03:00 |
| Stargazer | Ubuntu has evolved to the point where it adapts to it's pleasing. | 03:01 |
| twb | vim is for little girls who never learnt ed | 03:01 |
| * Kamping_Kaiser shuns twb | 03:01 | |
| hads | Is sudo su for people that didn't learn sudo? | 03:01 |
| twb | hads: chiark-really is that :PO | 03:01 |
| JanC | twb: so why don't you use ed instead of vi then :P | 03:02 |
| hads | heh | 03:02 |
| p_quarles | hads: insofar as using both at the same time is redundant, yes | 03:02 |
| genii | Gah. editor warz | 03:03 |
| twb | JanC: actually I mostly use cat and sed --in-place. | 03:03 |
| Stargazer | New topic/question: how do i enable the rest of the repos ? | 03:03 |
| twb | Stargazer: carefully | 03:03 |
| hads | Stargazer: /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:03 |
| moz_ | how do u actually try connecting to a wireless network with a terminal | 03:07 |
| moz_ | only ever done it with network manager | 03:07 |
| storrgie | i am running a verlihub server on ubuntu, how can I add it to my hosts.allow | 03:15 |
| moz_ | sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "tp1" | 03:16 |
| moz_ | i tried this | 03:16 |
| moz_ | but it just returned straight away there was no wireless activity noise | 03:16 |
| moz_ | what am i doing wrong? | 03:16 |
| moz_ | ok i got it, sort of | 03:23 |
| moz_ | i set the essid and then the key | 03:23 |
| moz_ | then connected using sudo dhclient wlan0 | 03:24 |
| moz_ | but i got some messages saying egrep /etc/resolv.conf: no such file or directory | 03:24 |
| TimReichhart | could anybody help me with a issue with nagios3 | 03:24 |
| moz_ | chown: failed to get attributes of '/etc/resolv.conf' : no such file or directory | 03:25 |
| moz_ | chmod: failed to get attributes of '/etc/resolv.conf' : no such file or directory | 03:25 |
| infinity | moz_: You really wanted to be setting this up in /etc/network/interfaces (man 5 interfaces) and using ifup/ifdown to manage the interface. | 03:25 |
| infinity | moz_: dhclient run raw will not often behave quite as you expect. | 03:25 |
| moz_ | i can ping my router | 03:26 |
| moz_ | but not any internet address | 03:26 |
| moz_ | so thats something | 03:26 |
| infinity | moz_: Define "internet address". | 03:26 |
| moz_ | ping google.com | 03:26 |
| moz_ | was unknown host | 03:26 |
| infinity | moz_: If you mean hostnames, rather than IP addresses, that would be because you have no resolv.conf. :P | 03:26 |
| moz_ | infinity: why is that? what does the file do | 03:27 |
| TimReichhart | does anybody know nagios3? | 03:27 |
| infinity | moz_: dhclient needs to write your nameserver addresses to resolv.conf. | 03:27 |
| infinity | moz_: No nameservers, no DNS resolution, no google.com | 03:27 |
| moz_ | but it cant access that file, do I need to create it? im not sure how to fix it | 03:27 |
| infinity | moz_: Like I said, you would have been much better off doing this with higher level interfaces (ifupdown) rather than manually. :/ | 03:28 |
| infinity | moz_: But, at a guess, "sudo touch /etc/resolv.conf && sudo dhclient wlan0" would fix it up. Ish. | 03:29 |
| * infinity goes to find some dinner or something. | 03:29 | |
| moz_ | infinity: i will try thanks | 03:29 |
| TimReichhart | ok i guess no help then | 03:29 |
| TimReichhart | anybody know how to reconfigure a package inside of ubuntu 8.10 server? | 03:31 |
| infinity | TimReichhart: dpkg-reconfigure <package> | 03:33 |
| TimReichhart | thanks infinity | 03:34 |
| moz_ | a question, im trying to update my installation, but its tell me i need to install the kernel linux-image-2.6.27-7-server when i just installed linux-image-2.6.27-11-server as this is the first kernel with a driver that works with my USB stick, should I allow the update? | 03:40 |
| moz_ | i thought 2.6.27-11-server was stable now | 03:41 |
| oh_noes | why isnt ubuntu server spitting out anything on /dev/random? | 03:55 |
| oh_noes | Im trying to generate a gpg but its not generating it, it wants random but cat /etc/random isnt giving me anything | 03:55 |
| oh_noes | is there an AMD64 version of Ubuntu JeOS hardy 8.04? | 04:25 |
| giovani3 | oh_noes: not afaik, it says right on the JeOS page, x86 | 04:28 |
| giovani3 | and I don't know why /dev/random isn't working for you -- it should | 04:28 |
| oh_noes | it's working .. it's just not outputting a lot of info. So random apps, take a long time to get a bugger | 04:30 |
| oh_noes | buffer* | 04:30 |
| giovani3 | right, try /dev/urandom instead | 04:31 |
| giovani3 | less entropy | 04:31 |
| oh_noes | can't ... it's gpg reading /dev/random, not me. Anywho, it finished it just took longer | 04:34 |

| [1]sLaeYa | i have absolutely nothing in /etc/courier/authmysqlrc does this mean I have setup my mysql wrong ? | 12:44 |

| sLaeYa | I mean - my post with a pastebin link | 12:57 |
| heath|work | sLaeYa, can you connect via the admin portion of ISPconfig? | 12:57 |
| sLaeYa | yes | 12:57 |
| heath|work | everything is working in there then, user and sites are add | 12:58 |
| ScottK | Ethos: Did you create and copy over the /boot partition? | 12:59 |
| sLaeYa | everything is working, I can add users I have added a site | 13:00 |
| sLaeYa | and email accounts, and ftp users | 13:00 |
| sLaeYa | FTP works - email doesn't | 13:00 |
| Ethos | It was supposed to, but i've got a feeling it didn't | 13:00 |

| heath|work | soren, nice... that will not change anything in use? | 13:18 |
| bromic94 | hey how do i know if apache is starting as root | 13:19 |
| soren | heath|work: It probably will. | 13:20 |
| soren | heath|work: Proceed with caution :) | 13:20 |
| heath|work | hmmm.... I used a cmd once and of-course didn't write it down that worked perfect, but I can't find it | 13:20 |
| soren | heath|work: Could have been udevadm trigger (or just udevtrigger, depending on the age of the system). | 13:21 |
| heath|work | soren, thanks... I will read through the man pages to see how bad off I cam... I have a production server that I created a new part for, but need to get the UUID in /dev/disk | 13:22 |
| sLaeYa | heath that confused me more than anything :( | 13:22 |
| heath|work | lol... sorry, it just looked like your issue | 13:23 |
| soren | heath|work: Oh, you could just try "partprobe /dev/sd?" | 13:23 |
| heath|work | soren, THAT's IT | 13:23 |
| heath|work | damn... I have been torturing myself all morning!! | 13:23 |
| heath|work | thanks | 13:23 |
| sLaeYa | it looked similar but it was written by someone who didn't have a good grasp of english, english isn't my first language so I don't understand it properly | 13:23 |
| soren | heath|work: I thought you had just changed the contents of existing partitions. In that case, you /do/ need to udevadm trigger to pick up the new uuid. | 13:24 |
| soren | heath|work: From Jaunty and onwards, though, you wouldn't need to do anything. Both things would automatically be dealt with by udev. | 13:24 |
| heath|work | I even typed part... lol | 13:24 |
| bromic94 | what are the big changes in 9.04 server? | 13:24 |
| heath|work | soren, cool, this server is going to be here till 2013 though | 13:25 |

| soren | heath|work: "both things" being "adding a partition and putting a filesystem on it" and "re-mkfs'ing an existing partition and have the new uuid symlink pop up" | 13:25 |
| ball | I'm debating whether to try Ubuntu Server on this machine | 13:25 |
| soren | bromic94: I don't have a list handy, I'm afraid. I think there's something on the wiki, but I'm not sure. I know the few things, I've been working on myself, and some of the stuff others have been working on, but I don't have an exhaustive list. | 13:26 |
| bromic94 | soren: what have you been working on | 13:26 |
| bromic94 | i just meant what you guys are aware of | 13:26 |
| soren | bromic94: I've been working on lots of virtualisation and cloud computing stuff. | 13:27 |

| soren | bromic94: apache-ssl is *ancient* | 13:30 |

| AnRkey | if you want to force https you can do it with a .htaccess file and leave http on | 13:54 |

| billyk | orudie: if you need to copy to a windows box, smb might be easiest though since windows supports that natively | 15:39 |

| heath|work | test that first^^ I just shat it out | 16:16 |
| jmarsden | heath|work: If your system is a web server that will break it, and so on and so forth... :) I think the more interesting issue is exactly *why* {bosco} feels that for users to be able to look at the contents of (say) /bin or /usr/bin is a problem and something he needs to prevent...??

| smetj | hello, I was a bit surprised with the lack of official support for xen in ubuntu server and choosing kvm instead. I was wondering if kvm is actually already production ready, and why xen is denied in such a way? | 18:22 |
| kpettit | Ah I think I figured it out. Have to hand edit a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d | 18:25 |
| kpettit | Anybody know how I can findoud the default route from the commandline? I need to grab the default route in the script I'm going to write. I want to avoid having to parse through the route -n info | 18:25 |
| kpettit | smetj: I feel your pain. | 18:25 |
| kpettit | I love xen, but for some reason it's a pain in the ass to setup and use. I've had problems with xen on every distro I've tried. kvm was ok, but i think it's still slow | 18:26 |
| kpettit | My favorite vm solution so far is the free vmware-server 2.x | 18:26 |
| kpettit | Gives you a web interface that you can add/edit/view vm's. Just need to have firefox or ie | 18:27 |
| racecar56 | ie = fail | 18:27 |
| kpettit | IE is my favorite thing in the world, but it's nice for my users. | 18:27 |
| stefan_can | kpettit, but is xen faster than vmware ? | 18:27 |
| kpettit | It's supposed to be, but I'd have to have it running first to find out | 18:28 |
| racecar56 | well, if anyone here had experience in helping me from before about my hp mediasmart ex475... i have news | 18:28 |
| stefan_can | that is if you tried it , as I didn't have the chance yet | 18:28 |
| racecar56 | im vmware-ing a vm of it now, and i can be able to see what to do now... | 18:28 |
| kpettit | xen requires the newer processors with the VM extensions to work at all. And I know if you have a linux xen server running linux it's faster than just about anything besides uml (user mode linux) | 18:29 |
| kpettit | racecar56: Make sure first of all that you have one of the newer processors that can run xen | 18:29 |
| racecar56 | well... is amd live good enough? | 18:30 |
| racecar56 | thats what its got | 18:30 |
| racecar56 | with 512 mb ram | 18:30 |
| jmarsden | kpettit: For the default route, you can either parse route -n output or parse /proc/net/route :) But, since it *is* the default, does your script truly need it? | 18:30 |
| racecar56 | (heehee) | 18:30 |
| kpettit | I think the process extension is vt or vtx | 18:30 |
| kpettit | jmarsden: yes. Becuase I need to have a proper if-down type of script. So I want to have that info at the ready | 18:31 |
| kpettit | racecar56: I don't think so. If the processor is older than about 1-2 years probally not | 18:31 |
| racecar56 | ok... i was planning to use it as a web server anyway | 18:32 |
| kpettit | racecar56: check this out http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/HVM_Compatible_Processors | 18:32 |
| kpettit | racecar56: you can still use vmware or VirtualBox. VirtualBox I beleive is opensource, or was anyways. Been awhile sense I've tried it | 18:33 |
| racecar56 | there is opensource and freeware versions of vbox... and my desktop pc (alongside my old laptop) can run that... | 18:33 |
| kpettit | FYI don't use VMware or the like to run a gateway, or voip vm. It's caused me alot of headache trying, there are some minute timing issues | 18:33 |
| jmarsden | racecar56: Run egrep '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo to check for the relevant CPU flags See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation | 18:34 |
| kpettit | jmarsden: nice. I'm going to have to note that one | 18:34 |
| racecar56 | well i cant do that now its running in a vmware vm | 18:35 |
| racecar56 | which would mean it would say stuff about vmware's/my host pc's processor (intel core 2 quad 8D ) | 18:36 |
| jmarsden | racecar56: No, do that in a shell on running on the "real" OS, not one inside a VM :) | 18:36 |
| racecar56 | where 8D = :D with sunglasses | 18:36 |
| racecar56 | i cant see whats on my server o.o | 18:36 |
| racecar56 | i dont have a monitor port | 18:36 |
| kpettit | racecar56: it's the real os (host) that needs to have the proper processor extensions | 18:36 |
| kpettit | you can ssh to it | 18:36 |
| racecar56 | so i ssh it instead... but i yet have to find out will it work | 18:36 |
| jmarsden | You can't ssh into the real OS on your server??? | 18:36 |
| racecar56 | it dosent have internet/dosent even boot | 18:37 |
| jmarsden | Ah... if you can't boot it, you can't run shell commands on it... OK. | 18:37 |
| jmarsden | Then again, if you can't boot it, for sure you can't run VMs on it anyway :) | 18:37 |

| Deevz | Well, I just downloaded ubuntu server, getting rdy to set up my very first web server | 20:25 |
| Deevz | I was going for FreeBSD at first, but I found out about ubuntu server and I decided it would be more friendly for a newb like me | 20:27 |

| zoopster | Deevz: you are asking a biased crowd that question | 20:32 |
| RoAkSoAx | i wanna know how can i create snapshots or anything like it | 20:32 |
| Deevz | Lol zoop, I am very aware of that | 20:32 |
| Deevz | Its tough to get unbiased opinions in that software world :) | 20:33 |
| RoAkSoAx | anyone know how to create snapshots in KVM, or anything like it? | 20:33 |
| jmedina | RoAkSoAx: I think there is no way in KVM, I usually do snapshots of guest in Xen using LVM snapshots | 20:36 |
| jmedina | of cours guests are installed in LVMs | 20:36 |
| RoAkSoAx | jmedina, well... it seems i'll have to just many backups | 20:37 |
| RoAkSoAx | s/many/make | 20:37 |
| jmedina | oif course if you were using LVM with KVM, you culd use lvm snapshots, and in my oppinion it is the better way in performance | 20:38 |
| Deevz | Are most servers 64-bit or 32-bit? | 20:39 |
| jmedina | All my guests are LVM under RAID1, backups done with snapshots and backed up in an external servers | 20:39 |
| RoAkSoAx | jmedina, thanks for the advice... but suddenly i'm not using LVM | 20:39 |
| stefan_can | Deevz, depends how good you are at configuring and maintaining | 20:39 |
| Deevz | Why does it matter? | 20:39 |
| stefan_can | Deevz, if you have more than 4gb of mem in your server than it will use a 64 bit os | 20:40 |
| Deevz | Of course | 20:40 |
| Deevz | Its probably not required to run a small website and a database then | 20:41 |
| jmedina | or you can use PAE withc sucks when you have 64bit hardware | 20:41 |
| jmedina | sorry for the bad word :S | 20:41 |

| jpds | Deevz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI#Arguments%20Against%20a%20GUI are some points. | 23:10 |
| Deevz | Is it easy to uninstall the desktop-environment once I am ready to get rid of it? | 23:12 |
| Deevz | I just moved to linux, I like my GUI, but apparently at some point it will be best to get rid of it | 23:13 |
| genii | Deevz: The graphical interface(s) to ubuntu server are usually in it's web based control panels you install for whatever specific things you run on it, etc | 23:15 |
| Deevz | I see | 23:15 |
| Deevz | Which control panel package do you suggest? | 23:16 |
| genii | Deevz: The default one which is recommended now is ebox (used to be webmin was default but is now not included or supported in ubuntu) | 23:16 |
